LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Public Hearing Date Set March 23For Hazardous Industry Ordinance

[Continued On PAGE 15A)

Creedmoor CityCommissioners on February26th set a public hearing forMarch 23 to hear publiccomments on a proposedHazardous IndustryOrdinance which theCreedmoor Planning Boardapproved by a unanimousvote on February 11, 2010.

The purpose of the publichearing will be to solicitcitizen input prior to thepossible adoption of therecommended HazardousIndustry Ordinance by theCity Commissioners.

Creedmoor City PlannerDavid Roesler told thePlanning Board that therewere only a limited numberof existing ordinances fromwhich information could befound from which to drawinformation.

He said there was nocomprehensive approach toregulating hazardousindustry and limitednumbers of regulations forsetbacks and residentialneighborhood protection.

Roesler said he had reliedon the American PlanningAssociation list service andsimilar sources to draft aproposed ordinance forreview and discussion.

Some of the highlights ofthe proposed HazardousIndustry Ordinance include:• It would allow hazardousindustry only in a hazardousindustry Special UseDistrict.• It would list specificdefinitions of what ahazardous industry is.• Require the approval of aSpecial Use Permit.• Establish a set ofstandards, including lot size,setbacks, use requirements,notification and reporting.• Establishes an oversightboard to review annually thehazardous industry facilitiesoperations plan and otherrequirements of the specialuse permit.

This proposed ordinancedoes not apply to hazardouswaste landfills. However, theproposed ordinance doesaddress the storage,handling and shipping ofhazardous wastes.

At their February 11,2010 meeting the PlanningBoard recommended by aunanimous vote that theBoard of Commissioners calla public hearing to solicitpublic comment, and possiblyadopt the proposedordinance.

The intent of theordinance is to provide andpermit certain public andprivate heavy industrial usesand facilities thatincorporate hazardousmaterials and/or scientifictechnology, includingwholesale, distribution,storage, processing,manufacturing andproduction. However, it isrequired that the industriesin this district take whatevermeasures appropriate tominimize affects on theenvironment and thecommunity from theemissions of smoke, dust,fumes, noise and vibrationsand other activities and/or

products resulting from suchhazardous industrialactivities.

It is further intended thatthe ordinance will:

a) provide standards thatwill ensure that suchdevelopment will be designed,arranged and constructed toprotect the Lake Rogers andFalls Lake watersheds;

b) provide standards thatwill ensure that such

development will have aminimum impact on the publicschools within the City’sjurisdiction; and

c) through the special usepermit process provide forsuch special uses that, becauseof their inherent nature,extent, and external effects,require special care in controlof their location, design , andmethods of operation in orderto ensure protection of the

public, safety and welfare.For purposes of the

ordinance, hazardousindustry is defined as, but notlimited to the following:

Biotechnology Industryor Center: The use of micro-organisms, such as bacteriaor yeasts, or biologicalsubstances, such as enzymes,to perform specific industrialor manufacturing processes.Applications include the

production of certain drugs,synthetic hormones, and bulkfoodstuffs as well as thebioconversion of organicwaste and the use ofgenetically altered bacteria inthe cleanup of oil spills.

Sci-Tech Industry:Generally, any technique thatis used to make or modify theproducts of living organisms

BeyondThe3 R’s

My wife has a distinctly southern expression that beginswith “being as…” as in “being as you’re up, can you get me(whatever she needs!).” So, being as I have time on my handsthanks to the continuing surprises the weather provides, Iwant to clarify what we can or cannot do vis-à-vis make updays.

First, combining early release days or making earlyrelease days full days cannot be used to make up cancelledschool days. For calendar purposes, early release days arealready full days and count as such even though they areabbreviated.

Second, Saturdays can be used for make up days easilyfor students and teachers but the Fair Labor Standards Act(which defines policies for hourly employees and limits themto 40 hours) makes school on Saturday an option that is quitechallenging. Given that bus drivers, teacher assistants,clerical people, custodians, and child nutrition workers arehourly employees, if they work beyond forty hours in a week,we must pay them overtime. If they work six days in a week(a regular 5 day work week plus a Saturday), we have to paythem accordingly. Our budget is stressed to the point thatovertime is not a viable option when it concerns overtime.We could pay it, but need to avoid doing so if we can.Therefore, our interpretation is that we cannot have schoolon Saturdays unless it falls within a shortened week (a schoolweek containing fewer than five days). Hence, we could haveschool the week of Memorial Day because we would not be inschool on Memorial Day (reducing the week to 4 days); havingschool on Saturday of that week would give us 5 days andnot put hourly employees over 40 hours.

Third, the calendar itself is a challenge. We are bound bylegislation to start school no earlier than August 25 and endno later than June 10. Moreover, we must have 180 studentdays, 10 vacation days, 10 annual leave days, and 15workdays. Four of the 15 workdays must be allotted at 1 dayper each 9 weeks (usually at the end) leaving 11 workdays toschedule. There is very little wiggle room in all of this. Thus,if teachers miss days because school was closed, those dayshave to be coded and accounted for during the school year.That means that February 1, 2, and 3 have to become“something” on the calendar. “Being as” we were closed tostudents and staff on those days coding them as “workdays”is not an option. Therefore, they become annual leave days.The student days can be moved to optional teacher or requiredteacher workdays; that means the optional or requiredworkdays must go somewhere on the calendar. These days,like student days, cannot be forgiven. We were paid forworking on those days and must account for the paysomewhere else on the calendar. For us, given the

I am longing for the smell of Spring.It has been a long hard winter and I’m well into longing

for those first days of Spring and the smell of new thingsgrowing like buttercups with their promise of naps in thesunshine in my yard chair.

One thing I miss as Spring begins is my dog Rusty. Hewas a deep orange Irish Setter who I’m convinced wassmarter than a lot of people. Rusty loved the freedom ofSpring and would ride for hours in the convertible I hadthen with his head blowing in the wind.

Some one picked up Rusty and I found my dog a coupledays later about ten miles away. He was dead after beingshot.

I decided then not to get another dog until I had a farmor enough land so that he could run free. I haven’t everbeen able to afford my farm so I still don’t have a dog butthe memory of my adventures with Rusty even many yearslater still brings a smile especially at the beginning ofSpringtime.

A friend brought me the illustrations printed below withthe appropriate inscriptions underneath.

Economic develop-ment in rural North Carolinawill play in important role inreviving our state’s economy.In the coming session, I willcontinue to work with mycolleagues in the House toimprove rural economicdevelopment across the state.The following informationhighlights just some of theimportant strides we madelast year in this area.

Budget_The main funding for

rural economic developmentgoes to the non-profit RuralEconomic DevelopmentCenter (Rural Center). Thecenter now has a total stateappropriation of $24.4million. Of that amount,$1.54 million was transferredto the Department ofEnvironment and NaturalResources to help pay forwater and sewer improve-ments. The center received$500,000 in new money tohelp small businesses.

_The $24.4 million theRural Center received isallocated as follows:EnactedFY 2009-10Administration$1,555,000Microenterprise LoanProgram & Operations$185,000Institute for RuralEntrepreneurship$136,000Research and DemonstrationGrants$351,000Community DevelopmentGrants$987,436Supplemental GrantProgram - Water/Sewer$840,000Water/Sewer Database$95,000Agricultural AdvancementConsortium$110,000NC Infra-structure ProgramAdministration (up to)

_The Department ofCommerce received $2 millionfor the Main Street SolutionsProgram [S.L. 2009-451, Sec.14.10 (SB 202, Sec. 14.10)].This program will providegrants to micropolitan citiesin Tier Two and Tier Threecounties to assist witheconomic development pro-jects designed to foster jobcreation and entrepreneur-ship in the state's smallercities.

_The AgriculturalDevelopment and FarmlandPreservation Trust Fundwithin the Department ofAgriculture received $2million to help buyagricultural and conservationeasements. The fund alsohelps farmers withproduction, agritourism,marketing and sales andother agricultural-relatedbusiness activities. Inaddition, newly enactedlegislation clarifies that themoney in the fund may beused only for the purposes setforth in the General Statutes(S.L. 2009-303 - HB 684).

The amount ofa loan made to a smallbusiness is limited to anaggregate total of no morethan $35,000. The smallbusiness is required to reporton the costs of the project forwhich the loan is made to thedepartment and is subject toinspections.

Rural EconomicDevelopment

_Last year, weestablished a 17-memberMountain ResourcesCommission within theDepartment of Environmentand Natural Resources (S.L.2009-485 - SB 968). Thecommission’s purpose is toencourage quality growthand development, whilepreserving the natural andcultural resources of themountain region of WesternNorth Carolina. Thecommission is directed to: (1)identify and evaluate issuesaffecting mountainresources; (2) coordinate withlocal and regional efforts toaddress threats to mountainresources; (3) provide a

forum for discussing issuesaffecting mountain resources;(4) promote communication,coordination, and educationamong stakeholders; (5) collectresearch and information fromNorth Carolina and otherstates regarding state andregional approaches tocoordinating provision ofinfrastructure for theprotection of resources andencouraging quality growththat protects mountainresources; (6) determinewhether new strategies wouldbe helpful to address pressureson mountain resources; and (7)provide guidance and makerecommendations to state,local, and federal legislativeand administrative bodies forthe use, stewardship, andenhancement of mountainresources. The act also createsthe Mountain Area ResourcesTechnical Advisory Council toassist the commission.

_A new state law createsthe 24-member North CarolinaSustainable Local Food PolicyCouncil. The purpose of thecouncil is to contribute tobuilding a local food economyto create jobs, stimulateeconomic development,circulate money within localcommunities, and providegreater food security for NorthCarolinians (S.L. 2009-530 –SB 1067). It will also consideand develop policies regarding(1) health and wellness; (2)hunger and food access; (3)economic development; and (4)preservation of farmlands andwater resources. The councilwill also consider ways to uselocal foods in schools andpublic assistance programs.

_The Legislative ResearchCommission has beenauthorized to study thefeasibility and advisability ofextending greenhouse gascredits to the business offarming in the same mannerthat credits are extended toother businesses in the eventthat North Carolinaparticipates in a market-based"Cap-and-Trade" program forgreenhouse gas emissions[S.L. 2009-574, Sec. 2.38 (HB945, Sec. 2.38)].

Y ou can't pick up anewspaper or turn on a cabletelevision news programwithout seeing someonecomplain of out-of-controlgovernment spending.

In an era of spiralingfederal budget deficits andhuge state governmentbudget shortfalls, thecomplaints are to be expected.

One North Carolinawoman, in a recentlypublished piece, put it thisway: "If I handled my financesthe way Washington handlestheirs, I would have alreadybeen arrested for writing badchecks."

Perhaps. But most of ushave only a few constituents -- our spouses and kids --clamoring for a piece of ourfamily budgets.

Hearing the complaintsabout government spending,I'm always struck by howlittle attention is received bythe corresponding publicappetite for governmentservices. It's a selectiveappetite, where one group

The Cause of Big Governmentwants this,one groupwants that.Before long,the collectiveh u n g e rb e c o m e simmense.

Just lastweek, anadministrativelaw judgeruled that North Carolinahealth officials couldn't slashservices for in-home care tothe elderly and sick. Theprivate providers who providethose services -- of course,once reimbursed with stateand federal tax dollars -- hadsued to block the state'sattempt to save money.

They argued that the37,000 patients who receivethe services are being unfairlypenalized and that the cutscould put more people in resthomes.

They may be right.But a few decades ago,

very little government moneywent to try to keep the sick

and infirm intheir homes.Families hadtwo choices:provide carethemselves, orsend grandmaoff to thenursing home.

Now, weturn to govern-ment for help.

Why not? We pay taxes.Shouldn't we get some back?

A few days ago, I wassitting in a meeting room aswildlife officials spoke tostate legislators about thespread of coyotes in NorthCarolina. A legislative studyof the animals' spread, andwhat can be done about thempreying on livestock, wasprompted by complaints byfarmers.

Among the speakers wasa representative of the U.S.Department of Agriculture'sWildlife Services program.That program, in one form oranother, has been inexistence for more than a

century. Essentially, itamounts to governmentexpenditure of money to helpfarmers and ranchers kill orcontrol predators that prey onlivestock. Their own guns,bullets and traps apparentlyaren't enough.

Dozens or even hundredsof ranchers and farmersmight testify to the program'seffectiveness. And shouldn'tgovernment help? After all,we're talking about thenation's food supply, right?

I'm not attempting to pickon families who utilizeMedicaid in-home healthservices or farmers battlingcoyotes. Expenses in theseprograms represent fractionsof state and federal spending.

But multiply them by athousand, and you begin tosee the demands that we -- ingroups big and small -- placeon government.

If people want lessgovernment and cheapergovernment, they can't justsay it.

They must be willing tolive more independent lives.

Letters To The EditorENTITLEMENT PLAGUE

To The Editor:Before you protest, please allow me to expound. I listened

carefully, as did most, to Tiger Wood’s apology/statement.Considering how precise Tiger plays the game of golf, his wordsand delivery appeared par for his course at least. One wordthat stood out, however, was the one Tiger used to explainwhat led him to this moment. He stated he felt, entitled.

We should all be familiar with this word, for recently wehave witnessed our banks feeling entitled to bailouts, feelingentitled to outrageous salaries/bonuses, politicians feelingentitled to do just about whatever they please (with noconsequences), pharmaceutical companies feeling entitled tomarket drugs knowing they are not safe, even our youngpeople feeling entitled — just because. And this is only a partiallist.

This sense of entitlement has permeated our society likea plague or cancer. We have reached a point in humanitywhere nearly everyone is only looking out for number one.

This is a perilous way to live, and has led us to a veryprecipitous position in our world order. Our transgressionsare becoming likewise more scandalous, and dangerous innature — robberies and shootings in churches; men killingtheir wives while kidnapping and raping children, evenwomen becoming violent in nature! Most of these, and otherdeeds, I sense, were fueled by a sense of entitlement.

As Americans, we need to stop in our tracks and give somethought to who we were, who we are, and who we arebecoming. The current trend is alarming, at best. Misfortunesand scandals do not occur spontaneously. They are the resultof our thinking process.

Tiger Woods is unquestionably one of the wealthiest

The officials of Toyota arethe latest of a long list ofcorporate officials that havebeen called before congres-sional and senate committeesto explain how their operatingpractices have causedproblems for consumers.

The top leaders of GeneralMotors, Chrysler, Ford, Bankof America, AmericanExpress, Wells Fargo,Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase,and many other financialinstitutions have been “calledon the carpet” to explain whythey have messed up so badlyand caused difficulty and tur-moil and needless expense toso many people.

Does anyone see the ironyhere?

Wouldn’t it be appropriatefor the U.S. Congress andSenate to call themselves toappear to explain their ownactions.

Government really seemsstalled on a treadmill ofinaction floundering aroundseemingly not able to come toa decision on how to help

citizens who are really facingsome tough choices.

The problem has not juststarted nor is it limited to justnational politics but the“leaders” need to take lead-ership and do somethingproductive.

Trying to solve all ourcountry’s problems all at onceis not an achievable objective.

But our Congress needs todetermine the most criticalneeds our country is facingand move those objectives tothe front burner for actionfirst.

The same can be said forsome of our local governmentleaders.

It is critical that some ofthe most pressing problemsneed to be acted on.

Our elected leaders needto determine what those areand set a clear path for de-termining what actions totake to insure that a recessiondoesn’t become a secondGreat Depression.

The Butner-Creedmoor News, Thursday February 25, 2010 • 9a

South Granville FFA South Granville FFA Organization (formerly called Future Farmers of America) is celebrating

National FFA Week, February 20 - 27, 2010. This event is held yearly by local chapters of the

National FFA Organization as a celebration of the importance of American Agriculture. The

event is always held during the week of George Washington’s Birthday to show recognition for

the impact that he had on the development of agriculture in the United States.

During this week, the South Granville FFA is holding special events each day designed to

showcase the Agricultural program. Monday has been designated as

“Green Day”, to celebrate environmental awareness. Tuesday is our Teacher and Staff

appreciation day, highlighting quality educational opportunities. Wednesday is our FFA member

appreciation day, encouraging all of our members to take the leadership challenge and Thursday

is our College / Career awareness day, along with our FFA Alumni appreciation social and our

Greenhand Degree induction ceremony. We will end our week on Friday with recognition of

Agri-business day.

Our special Agricultural heritage dates back to 1928, the year the FFA was founded. For the

last 82 years, the FFA organization has given middle, high school and college students the

opportunity to develop premier leadership skills, personal growth and career success through

Agricultural Education programs.With over 500,000 members in 50 states, the Virgin Islands

and Puerto Rico, the FFA is the largest high school based youth organization in the world.

Students not only learn about our rich agricultural heritage, but are embracing modern science

and technology to bring food, fiber, fuel, environmental and medical breakthroughs to our nation

and the world. Agricultural studies include Agribusiness and Marketing, Agricultural

Engineering, Agricultural Production, Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Aquaculture,

Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Environmental and Natural Resources, Forestry,

Horticulture, Landscape and Nursery Production, and Turf-grass Management just to name a

few. The South Granville FFA chapter is host to over 100 members, and is guided by their

teachers/advisors Joy Morgan and Kerry Stainback .

This year we are also fortunate to have two student teachers from North Carolina State

University who are currently completing their BS in Agricultural Education. They are Jeanne

Elliott from Oxford and Jason Doby from Raleigh. The FFA Chapter Officers are Kenny Isley -

President, Katie Mottern - Vice President, Matthew Gaul - Secretary, Tommy Weeks -

Treasurer, Rick Boltz - Reporter, and Matthew Layton - Sentinel. FFA Junior Officers include

Evan Fleming- Jr. President, Brandy Cutshaw- Jr. Vice President, Wesley Howard- Jr. Secretary,

Joshua Moxley - Jr. Treasurer, Lindsey Gilkes- Jr. Reporter, Jessica Millhorn - Jr. Sentinel, and

Mary Ann Smith - Jr. Chaplin. John Moxley and Kenny Isley also serve as East Central

Regional FFA Officers.

The FFA students have been quite busy this year. During the month of June, students attended

the State FFA Convention in Raleigh, NC where we had 3 students recognized for achieving the

American FFA Degree and 6 students recognized for achieving the State FFA Degree. South

Granville members also competed in six state level competitions. Four of these teams finished in

the top ten in their respective competitions. Robert Layton, a 2008 graduate of South Granville,

and currently attending NCSU, was elected to serve on the 2009 - 2010 State FFA Officer Team.

Robert is the first student from South Granville to win such an honor.

In July, the chapter attended North Carolina FFA Camp located at White Lake, NC. In

September, FFA members kicked off their 2009- 2010 school year with a cook out at Sandling

Beach on Falls Lake which was lead by the chapter officers and two State FFA Vice Presidents,

Jacob Furr and Alex Dunnagan. September, October, and November involved fundraisers with

the students providing concessions for the SGAA football games. In late September, members

attended the East Central Regional Leadership Conference in Wake County. October was a

particularly busy month which began with the annual trip to the NC State Fair, which celebrates

our great agricultural heritage in North Carolina. This trip also included a behind the scenes tour

of the North Carolina State University Veterinary College. On October 20th -24th, twenty

students and adults embarked on a fantastic journey to Indianapolis, Indiana to join more than

50,000 students at the 82nd National FFA Convention. The students attended leadership

workshops, career seminars, and participated in the national business sessions.

South Granville also had three students, Jimmy Johnson, Robert Layton and Justin Moxley, to

be recognized for achieving the highest award given by the National FFA, the American FFA

Degree. Less than one percent of all FFA members are awarded this prestigious honor. In

November the focus shifted to career Development Events (CDE’s), and our fall service projects

consisting of Partners in Active Learning Support (PALS) which pairs high school students with

2nd and 3rd grade students from Creedmoor Elementary school. The chapter also participated in

the State level Dairy Evaluation CDE and the State level Poultry Evaluation CDE. In February,

members participated in an educational field trip to the Southern Farm Show, which is the

largest exhibit of agricultural technology on the east coast. The Farm Show was also host to the

state level Safe Truck Operations CDE where Kerr Federation winner David Burton from SGHS

placed 3rd in the state event. During FFA Week, students will also be attending an open house of

the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at North Carolina A & T University in

Greensboro at an annual event known as “BBQ Fest”.

Future events include the state Agricultural Sales, Marketing Plan and Farm Business

Management CDE’s on March 18th, MEGA Conference in Greensboro NC on March 19-21st,

State Land Judging and Hunter Safety on March 27th, Livestock Judging on March 30th, Horse

Judging on April 17th, and the East Central Regional Rally on April 21st. Our Chapter Plant

Sale will begin in Mid- April, and our annual FFA Chapter Banquet will be held on May 20th.

The 82nd State FFA Convention will be held on June 23-25th, and Summer FFA Camp at White

Lake in July.

Our SGHS FFA Organization is supported by The Southern Granville County FFA Alumni

Association. The FFA Alumni is a network composed of former students, parents, community

and business leaders, and is designed to provide leadership, support and financial assistance to

the students of our local chapter. Any interested person can become an alumni member. The

SGC FFA Alumni annually sponsors several fundraising projects designed to provide

educational scholarships and leadership sponsorship for students. Our FFA Alumni Scholarship

program was started in honor of the late Phil Grady who was the agriculture teacher and FFA

Advisor at South Granville for over 30 years. To learn more about our FFA Alumni, contact

President Allison Layton at sgcffaalumni@yahoo.com Even with the vast changes that are

taking place in our agricultural community, our FFA program will continue to emphasize the

traditional values of hard work, dedication, honesty, pride, perseverance, and respect for our

heritage, our land and each other. To learn more about our FFA program, you may visit

How to Create a Senior-Friendly Bathroom

Dear Savvy Senior,What tips or products can you recommend to make a

bathroom more senior-friendly. My husband and I arelooking to adapt our home for our elderly years and wouldlike to start with the bathroom. What can you tell us?

Aging GracefullyDear Aging

Because more accidents and injuries happen in thebathroom than any other room in the house, this is a greatplace to start seniorizing. Here’s what you should know.Small Changes

To avoid hygiene hardships as you get older, let’s startwith some simple tips and a few low-cost add-ons that canmake a big difference in making your bathroom safer andeasier to maneuver.

• Floor: To avoid slipping and tripping, get non-skidbath rugs for the floors or secure existing floor mats orrugs with double-sided rug tape.

• Lights: The older we get the more light we need, soinstall the highest wattage bulbs allowed for your fixtures,and get a plug in nightlight that automatically turns onwhen the room gets dark.

•Entrance: If the doorway into the bathroom is not wideenough to accommodate a wheelchair or walker, you caneasily widen your doorways (two inches) with inexpensiveoffset door hinges.

• Bath/shower: To make bathing safer, buy a non-sliprubber mat or put down self-stick strips on the tub/showerfloor, and install grab bars for support. If you use theshower, it’s a good idea to put in a shower curtain rod thatscrews or bolts into the wall (versus a tension-mountedrod), so that if you lose your balance and grab the showercurtain, the rod won’t spring loose. Another safetyprecaution is to put in a water-resistant, wall-mountedphone in or near the bath/shower in case of a fall. Andmany seniors with mobility or balance problems need toshower sitting down. If this applies to you, install a hand-held, adjustable-height shower head, and buy a portablebath/shower chair.

• Toilet: Install grab bars next to the toilet too ifpossible, or purchase a toilet seat riser. This adds two-to-four inches of height making it easier to sit and rise.

• Faucets: If you have twist handles on the sink,bathtub or shower faucets, replace them with leverhandles. They’re easier to turn, especially for seniors witharthritis or limited hand strength. Also be aware that ittakes only 130-degree water to scald you, so turn your hotwater heater down to 120 degrees or get anti-scald devicesfor your faucets.Bathroom Products

If you’re thinking about remodeling, there are a varietyof practical and stylish products on the market that canmake your bathroom more age-friendly.

For bathing, prefabricated “curbless showers” and“walk-in bathtubs” are two popular options today. Curblessshowers have no threshold to step over so access is a breezeand ideal for wheelchair users. Theses showers alsotypically come with a built-in seat, grab bars, an adjustablehand-held shower head, and a slip resistant textured floor.Or, if you like to take baths, a walk-in bathtub with a frontdoor may be the way to go. You can find these products atsites like Accessible-Showers.com and Premier-Bathrooms.com.

If you’re interested in getting a new toilet, go with anADA compliant “comfort height” toilet that’s 17 inches high,versus a standard toilet that’s only 15 inches. Kohler(Kohler.com) and American Standard (AmericanStandard-us.com) make a nice variety.

And if you’re putting in a new sink, install it at a levelthat reduces bending. For wheelchair access wall-mountedor pedestal sinks, or a sink built into a cabinet that’s openunderneath will let you roll in nice and close. And if youget a new faucet, the single lever handle style is great forthose with arthritis.

Savvy Tips: For more information on senior-friendlymodification tips visit aarp.org/families/home_design/bathand Homemods.org. Also contact your nearby independentliving center (ilru.org, 713-520-0232). These are nonprofitcenters that provide modification information, and manyeven offer free or low-cost home assessments. Your AreaAgency on Aging (800-677-1116) is also a good referralresource.

Check out The Tax BreaksFor Supporting Older Relatives

If you helped support your parents or other adultrelatives in 2009, check out the tax breaks that could loweryour taxes. Possible benefits include claiming your relativeas a dependent, generating extra medical deductions, andbeing taxed at lower rates.

First, determine if the relative qualifies as yourdependent. An adult dependent's gross income must beless than the exemption amount for 2009 ($3,650), butsome income, such as social security, isn't counted for thispurpose.

You also must contribute more than half of yourrelative's support. Social security does count as supportfor this test. However, if you and others together providemore than half of a person's support, you can claim theexemption if the others are willing to sign a documentcalled a "multiple support agreement."

If a relative could be your dependent except for havingtoo much income, you still might be able to deduct anymedical expenses you paid for him or her in 2009. To doso, you must pay the bills directly as part of the individual'ssupport, and your total unreimbursed medical expensesmust exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.

If you're single and helping to support a parent, youmay be able to file as head of household. Head of householdtax rates are lower than those for single people, althoughhigher than those for married couples filing jointly. Toqualify, you must maintain your parent's principal home,and your parent must be your dependent. The parent neednot live with you, although adult dependents other thanparents would have to live with you for head of householdstatus to be available.

Qualifying for these tax breaks can be tricky.

Time To Take Retirement Plan Distributions?

Will you turn 70 1/2 this year? If so, you’ll need to starttaking distributions from your traditional IRA and your 401(k)- so its time to do some planning.

Your financial advisor or tax professional can help youdetermine the required minimum distribution, or RMD. Onceyou know your RMD, you can decide whether to take thisamount or to withdraw more.

In making this choice, you’ll need to consider a couple ofkey issues. First, how much cash flow will you need? Andsecond, what other sources of income do you have? You’veprobably already started taking Social Security, so you can’tchange that amount. But you might be able to adjust yourinvestment mix to provide you with enough income to avoidexceeding your RMDs.

In any case, take the steps necessary to provide yourselfwith sufficient income today without draining your resourcesfor tomorrow.

HOW CAN

WE

CREATE

JOBS?

Ask just about anyone what the top economic issue is inthe country today, and they will say jobs. Creating jobs is thenumber one priority, most think, to getting our sick economywell.

It’s easy to see why people are concerned about jobs. Sincethe recession began in late 2007, 8.4 million jobs in the nationhave been lost, and the national unemployment rate hasjumped from 4.4 percent to 10 percent. Here in North Carolina,the numbers are equally disturbing: 250,000 jobs lost and ajobless rate rising from 4.4 percent to over 11 percent.

So what can be done? With most economic forecasterspredicting a slow increase in jobs – at best – what are thebest ideas for giving people work and a paycheck?

As you might expect, there are a range of suggestions. Atone end of the spectrum is the idea that the government shouldsimply hire the unemployed. Certainly this could be done,but it would be costly. For example, if the government hiredthe 8.4 million unemployed and paid them the average salary(roughly $40,000), the annual cost would be $320 billion.

There are other issues with this approach. What jobs wouldthe new government employees perform, and would everyindividual be qualified for their assigned job? Also, would thenew government workers compete with private sector workers,thereby causing unemployment in the private sector toincrease? In other words, would unemployment simply beshifted rather than being reduced?

Finally, how would the $320 billion annual cost befinanced? If it is paid for by increasing taxes, would thosehouseholds paying more taxes reduce their spending andthereby cause other jobs to be cut? Or, if the program isfinanced through borrowing – thus adding to the national debt– would the government’s higher debt load also slow economicgrowth and hike unemployment?

What about the idea of the government mandating ashorter work week, meaning that companies would have tohire more workers to accomplish the same amount of work?This idea is appealing for two reasons. First, it would cost thegovernment virtually nothing. And second, it would spreadthe wealth – here, jobs – around to everyone.

Yet there are questions here too. In the days when mostjobs required a specific number of hours per week, a mandatedwork week made sense. But today, more and more jobs aresalaried without a specific number of hours attached. Peoplework until the job is done. Obviously in these cases, a shorterrequired work week doesn’t apply.

In addition, if the same pay is to go with the shorter workweek, then this would result in an increase in the cost ofworkers, and businesses would actually be motivated to cutback on workers rather than adding them. Conversely, if payis to be cut along with hours worked, then the result is areduction in everyone’s salary.

Another tactic is for the government to use the tax code toencourage businesses to add jobs. This means reducing thecost to businesses of adding jobs by reducing taxes. Forexample, this could be accomplished by lowering payroll orcorporate income taxes or giving tax credits to firms thatincrease their workforce.

Past experience with this kind of plan shows it can createjobs, but there are two concerns. First is the question ofwhether the jobs created using the tax reduction would havebeen created anyway without the tax cut. It’s hard to know.Second is the issue of how the tax reduction used to encouragenew jobs is funded. If the government has to increase othertaxes or go further into debt, then some economists worrythis will slow economic growth and increase joblessnesselsewhere.

The first job creation approach – having the governmentdirectly hire the unemployed – has its 180 degree counterpart.That is, some economists think the best approach for thegovernment to follow in encouraging jobs is to do less! Thisapproach would have the government reduce taxes across theboard, reduce spending, reduce the national debt, andeffectively get out of the way of private entrepreneurs.However, the big question here is, will less government getus more jobs?

So the policy options for boosting jobs couldn’t be wider –from the government doing a lot more to the government doinga lot less. But one conclusion is certain: there is no easy plan,no silver bullet, for getting us back to job growth. Furthermore,each option has its pluses and minuses, its benefits and costs.Yet, our leaders will have to decide.

Soccer as the process oftryouts, conditioning andgearing up for competitionsagainst area teams is onceagain consummatedbeginning in March.Matches give way to games,headgear to helmets, courtshoes to cleats, goals to goalsand nets to nets. The balls,though still round, changedimensions but the real‘goals’ remain the same-

improve individual skilllevels, work hard as a teamand win as many match upsas possible.

Some students will crossover from one sport to thenext while others havewaited since last year to getback in the game. We arefortunate to have such a richassortment of sports in ourcommunity be you aparticipator or spectator.

parameters, those optional days that must be placed back onthe calendar fall logically during Spring Break. Think of itthis way, we had 3 annual leave days in February that arebest replaced by 3 annual leave days in April.

What does this all mean for us? Simply put, students makeup their days on February 26, March 26 and June 9. Yes, Iknow that I can use the Saturday following Memorial Day,but I don’t want to do so if I don’t have to. We all know thatinstruction on a Saturday is challenging to say the least. Forour staffs, those workdays that must be moved to accommodatestudents become Optional workdays in April; specifically April7, 8, and 9. Staff will have the option of using annual leave onthose days or they can make them up in a fashion suitableand approved by the principal.

I hope that these explanations help everyone understandwhat a complex topic a school calendar is. Somehow, whatshould be easy has become hard.

LESS GOVERNMENT “HELP”To The Editor:

Please don’t give us a “fundamentally transformedUnited States of America” in place of the free country wehave always been.

Don’t buy a prison in Illinois for us (with tax payer’smoney) instead of using Guantanamo (which we havealready paid for) to keep terrorists detained in.

Don’t give us presidential orders that bypass Congressand go against the wishes of the people.

Don’t try to protect us by telling us what to eat, what todrive, what fuel to use, what to think, and what endangeredinsect, fish or animal is more important than we are.

Don’t prevent the drilling of oil in the United Statesand offshore on the pretense of protecting animals (whowould not really be harmed) and fear of oil spills on ourbeaches.

Tankers bring oil from foreign countries now andbringing oil from off shore would present no greater danger.Our economy would recover much faster if we were notforced to buy oil from foreign countries.

Stop taking our money in excessive amounts in taxesand redistributing it because you think we’re too stupid tospend it wisely.

Don’t give us schools that are being used to indoctrinateour children into socialism while rewriting history books.If you don’t know — history is what really happened, notwhat you wish or want us to believe happened.

Don’t give us government-run health care. You couldstart over and have a bill that includes tort reform andless government intervention to create less expensivehealth care.

Stop giving us stimulus money (taken from taxpayers)mandated for ridiculous things that stimulate nothingworthwhile and leaves our children and grandchildren indeep debt.

Stop trying to protect us from global warming, whichhas been shown to be based on faulty statistics and whichyou are only using as a means to tax us more.

Above all, stop insulting our intelligence.Carolyn Dry

PUBLIC WORKERS MARCHTo The Editor:

Over fifty years ago workers from across the country wereprohibited to meet with their employer to sit down to discussand improve the work environment in which each employeeplayed a part. Every state in the Union today has allowedeach employee to have a choice to participate in anorganization such as a union. North Carolina and Virginiaare the only two states that do not.

The Jim Crow Laws that prevent choice continues toviolate one’s human rights and violates their constitutionalrights as well. To name the position of a candidate and whohe supports will not stop the efforts of public service workersin the South.

Information is the key and each individual will have thatchoice available to them whether they want to join a Union orjust receive information concerning their basic human rightsmany of which have been violated.

Jim Crow will leave North Carolina and people will befree from intimidation and threatening attitudes such as thosevoiced in the last paragraph of the editors article. NeitherJim Crawford nor Sen. Berger carry that type of attitude orbehavior. Each man is respected by those who connect withtheir views.

The people will speak, and those are the voices that count.On Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010 many North Carolina publicworkers will march to Jones Street to say no more and torepeal N.C. Statute 95-98 and to rid North Carolina of JimCrow. The peoples struggle has been ordained and will befulfilled.

Collective bargaining is only one of the 14 point agendathat will manifest and provide a choice for all people in thisstate. It is my hope that each individual will research theirwork environment to see if their basic human rights are metand what input they have in the job in which they contribute.

Thank you.Dana S. Mckeithan

2010 Relay For Life Campaign The 2010 Relay For Life Campaign is well underway and will continue

during the month of March. Granville County citizens have raised over two million dollars since

Relay for Life was started in 1998. The teams are always looking for opportunities to tell survivors that they are the reason for the effort and research to find the cure for another cancer.

The survival rate across the United States is improving each year. Granville County had 324 survivors who participated in events during the 2009 season. It is the goal of the Relay organizers to find every cancer survivor in Granville County during the year 2010.

Since the 2009 year was such a success, goals have been set for 2010 with a “‘d2it-can-be-done”’d3 attitude. The income goal for 2010 is $270,000. All current teams hope to see the teams increase to at least 80.

If you are not a team member and want to learn more, contact Candice.Walsh@cancer.org to get information about starting a team. The goal is to have at least 1,400 team members on those 80 teams.

And finally, it is hoped that at least 400 Granville County survivors will choose to participate in the celebration of life.

New Protections For Credit Card HoldersBY ATTORNEY GENERAL

ROY COOPER

Approximately 181million Americans have acredit card, according toestimates by the U.S. CensusBureau. If you’re one of them,then you need to know abouta new law designed to protectpeople with credit cards.

Starting next week, creditcard companies will have tochange their ways to give youmore notice about changes toyour account, betterprotection from sudden rateincreases, and fairer billingand payment practices. Theprotections are part of a newlaw, the Credit CardA c c o u n t a b i l i t y ,Responsibility, andDisclosure (CARD) Act of2009, which took effectFebruary 22.

Nearly 600 NorthCarolina consumerscomplained to the AttorneyGeneral’s office last yearabout credit card interestrates and fees. Peoplecomplained about unexpectedinterest rate hikes, whichapplied not just to futurepurchases but also to anyexisting balance. Theycomplained about bills sent tothem so late it was nearlyimpossible to get theirpayment ;in on time, andever-changing due dates.

While the CreditCard Act won’t solve all creditcard woes, it will help withsome common complaints.

If you have a credit card,here’s what the new lawmeans for you:• Advance notice ofchanges to your credit cardagreement. You’ll get 45 days’notice before your interestrate rises or fees such as latefees, cash advance fees orannual fees increase.• No interest rate hikesduring the first year youhave the card, unless yousigned up for a promotionalinterest rate which is set toexpire. Promotional ratesmust last at least six months.• Interest rate increasesapply only to newpurchases — not yourexisting balance — unless youfail to make at least theminimum monthly paymentfor 60 days. Also, your ratecan’t rise because ofunrelated bills you haven’tpaid, such as utility bills.• Better billingpractices. Your credit cardbill must be sent 21 daysbefore it’s due, and it will bedue the same time eachmonth. Payments received upto at least 5 p. m. on the duedate will be considered ontime.• Better information

about how long it will taketo pay off your card. Yourbill will tell you how long itwill take to pay off yourbalance if you make only theminimum payment eachmonth, and how much you’dhave to pay per month to payit off in three years.• Payments must go tohigh interest balancesfirst. Anything you paybeyond the minimumpayment must be applied toyour highest interest balancesfirst.• New protections foryounger consumers. Toprevent young consumersfrom being saddled with debtsthey can’t afford, people under21 years old will have to showthat they can make thepayments or have a co-signerin order to get a credit card.

Keep in mind that the new

law won’t wipe out your creditcard balance, lower yourmonthly payments or lock inyour current interest rateforever. Other key tips forcredit card holders:• Read any informationyour credit card companysends you carefully. Thenew law requires advancenotice on rate and fee hikes,but that won’t help if you don’tread it.• Watch out for new fees.Some credit card companiesmay try to come up with newfees, such as monthlymaintenance fees, or switchfrom fixed to variable interestrates, practices not regulatedby the new law.• Also, review yourcredit card bills carefully.If you see any charges youdon’t recognize, report themto your credit card company

right away to cut down onfraud.• Stop unwanted pre-approved credit cardoffers from clogging yourmailbox. Call 1-888-5OPT-OUT or opt out online atwww.optoutprescreen.com .You’ll be asked to providesome personal informationthat will be used only toprocess your request.• If you owe more incredit card debt than youcan afford to pay, seek helpfrom a non-profit creditcounselor. Never pay moneyupfront for debt relief help.

A GAPE C ORNER

It is census time again. Willyou be counted in the 2010census?

In the 1870 U.S. Census,females were counted in eachoccupation. The censusrevealed that not allAmerican women of theVictorian period were idle.Women were 15% of the totalworkforce (1.8 million out of12.5). They made up one-third of factory operatives,but teaching and the gentle

occupations of dressmaking, millinery, and tailoring played alarger role. Two-thirds of teachers were women.

Women could also be found in such unexpected places asiron and steel works, mines, sawmills, oil wells and refineries,gas works, and charcoal kilns, and held such surprising jobsas ship rigger, teamster, turpentine laborer, brass founder/workers, shingle and lathe makers, stock-herders, gun andlocksmiths, hunter and trappers.

In the beginning of the 20th century women were regardedas the guardians of morality. They were seen as made finerthan men and were expected to act as such. Their role wasnot defined as workers or money makers. Women wereexpected to hold on to their innocence until the right mancame along so that they could start a family and inculcate themorality they were in charge of preserving.

The Civil War, World War I and World War 11 changedthe course of women in the workforce. Between 1930 - 1950the Institution of Marriage Bars which forced women out ofthe workforce after marriage, were eliminated, allowing moreparticipation in the workforce of single and married women.

A movement began during the 1950s - mid to late 1970and the labor force participation by women grew significantly.

Because of the Vietnam War there were a series ofmovements requesting that the age of majority be changedfrom 21 to 18 (old enough to die, old enough to vote). A sideeffect of reducing the age of majority to 18 was that parentswere no longer involved in their children's medical decisionat 18.

Could this decision be one of the reasons for the downfallof parenting? Is the wisdom of parents down played so muchin society that wisdom is not the principle thing in the lives ofyoung adults?

There were black women who respected the wisdom ofadults and became great achievers and contributors to oursociety. Those women included:

Mary Jane Patterson was the first black woman collegegraduate.

Sadie M. Alexander was the first black woman awarded aPhD degree.

Charlotte Ray was the first black woman lawyer. In 1910there were 777 black male lawyers and two black womenlawyers.

Rebecca Cole was the first black woman medical doctor.Mary McLeod Bethune was the first black woman to

receive a major appointment from the United StatesGovernment. She was named Director of Negro Affairs of theNational Youth Administration on June 24, 1936.

Patricia R. Harris was the first black woman named tothe cabinet of a United States President. She was also thefirst black woman ambassador.

Rep Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman incongress and the first black woman nominated for thepresident of the United States.

Hazel Johnson was the first black woman general.Jane Matilda Bolin was the first black judge.Lorraine Hansberry was the first black woman to write a

Broadway play. She created “Raisin In the Sun.”Maggie Lena Walker was the first black woman to head a

bank.Alice Coachman of Albany State Teacher College was the

first black woman to win a gold medal in the Olympics.(Information received from Wikipedia-Women in the

Workforce)What a rich history to build upon for all women!“The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a

man from the snares of death,” Proverbs 13:14 (NIV) — Selah,Pause and Meditate.
