Victor Mandrillo by

About a year ago my friend Neil Senef sent me a recipefor his cousin Cindy’s Crisp Cucumber Salsa. Neil livesin a small town called Monte Vista nestled in the SanLuis Valley of Colorado. I have visited Monte Vista inyears past and have fond memories of good times andmany laughs with Neil and his cohorts.

Thinking of those times brings back flavors of saucesand salsas I enjoyed. Nice complements to the RockyMountain meals we had together.

This past weekend Melinda and I hosted what we callthe “Party to Plan the Party” for our neighborhood. Thisis an annual event we have to plan the festivities for our4th of July celebration. As I was planning the menu ofcoffee crusted steaks and teriyaki chicken, Melindabrought up the appetizers.

We talked about different dips and salsa’s and Iremembered I had one by Neil’s cousin, Cindy. I had nottried this before and thought it would be a good offeringfor the pre-meal snacks.

It turned out wonderful with positive comments onthe flavor and presentation. It was easy to make and alsolow in calories. If you are planning a get together andwant a special salsa to make, give this a try. Enjoy!

Cindy’s Salsa

Ingredients:3 cucumbers, seeded and chopped3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped1/2 small red onion finely chopped2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped4 teaspoons fresh cilantro, minced1 garlic clove, minced1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice1/4 teaspoon cumin1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (recommend Tony Charchere’sCreole Seasoning)Scooper style tortilla chips

Preparation:Peel and slice the cucumbers in half. Using a teaspoon,remove the seeds from the interior of the cucumber. Thenslice the cucumber into quarters, then rough chop them.Slice and seed the tomatoes and rough chop them. Addall of the ingredients except the tortilla chips to a largemixing bowl and combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.If the salsa is runny, pour into a strainer to remove excessliquid and then transfer to a chilled serving bowl. Placethe serving bowl on a platter and pour the tortilla chipsaround it.

So let's step out of theecho chambers of the leftand right for a momentand listen to groups thatarguably don't have quiteas much on the line in theHB2 fight as the groups Imentioned above.

Let's listen to theNational Task Force toEnd Sexual Assault andDomestic Violence AgainstWomen, which is made up

of 250 organizations aimedat preventing sexualassault and domesticviolence.

That group weighed inearly during the con-troversy, calling it a "myth"that nondiscriminationordinances like the onepassed by the CharlotteCity Council endanger theprivacy or safety of others."As organizations that careabout reducing assault andviolence, we favor laws andpolicies that protecttransgender people fromdiscrimination, including inaccessing facilities thatmatch the gender they liveevery day," the task forcesaid.

That group said thatstates pushing proposalslike HB2 claim that theyare necessary for publicsafety and to preventsexual violence againstwomen and children. Thegroup disagrees.

"As rape crisis centers,shelters and other serviceproviders who work eachand every day to meet theneeds of all survivors andreduce sexual assault and

domestic violence through-out society, we speak fromexperience and expertisewhen we state that theseclaims are false," it said,adding that assaultinganother person in arestroom or changing roomremains against the law inevery state.

Let's listen to theRabbis of the Triangle, whoalso are demanding therepeal of HB2. "The Torahteaches that all humanbeings are created in theimage of God and imbuedwith infinite value," therabbis said in a statement."In that spirit, we declarethat our state should,under no circumstance,desecrate the holiness anddignity of any citizen."

Let's listen to the NorthCarolina PsychologicalAssociation, whichrepresents nearly 1,000members and also seeksthe repeal of HB2. Theassociation believes thatdiscrimination harmspeople and can lead todepression, anxiety,suicidal thoughts andsuicide attempts, sub-stance use and eatingdisorders. The Psycho-logical Association also saidtargeting a certain groupincreases alarm and panicin the general public andthat mild forms ofprejudicial behavior make

it easier to transition tomore forceful, aggressivedisplays of prejudice.

And finally, let's listento librarians, who havewritten to McCrory urgingHB2's repeal. In a letterfrom leaders of theAmerican LibraryAssociation, which hasmore than 58,000members, and other librarygroups, librarians contendthat HB2 undermines civilrights and the "funda-mental principles uponwhich libraries arefounded."

"Because libraries are amicrocosm of the largersociety, they play animportant and unique rolein the communities thatthey serve and must seek toprovide an inclusiveenvironment where all aretreated with respect anddignity," the letter stated.

If you don't want tolisten to these pro-fessionals, then step backin that echo chamber andscream at the top of yourlungs that psychologists,librarians, sexual abuseprevention advocates andrabbis are all radical, left-wing extremists deter-mined to allow grown mento share bathrooms withwomen and little girls.

You'll probably bumpinto a few North Carolinapoliticians while you're inthere.

The next big high-techproduct: Why Concord?

Why would Alevo, aEuropean companyseeking to develop andmanufacture a powerfulgroundbreaking battery,choose Concord, N.C., asthe site of its operations,rather than some otherplace anywhere in theworld?

There are severalanswers to this questionthat I will share in aminute, but first somebackground about Alevoand its battery.

Alevo is producing alithium-ion battery. Otherlithium-ion batteriesprovide the power forelectric-powered andhybrid automobiles.

But Alevo’s product isdifferent. It has the abilityto charge and dischargeelectricity rapidly andmultiple times, withoutthe risk of overheating orburning.

It is also much, muchlarger, about the size of aseagoing intermodalshipping container. Thebattery, called a"GridBank," can storeabout two megawatts ofelectricity, which would beenough power to supplythe electrical needs of 90homes for a year.

But the purpose of theGridBank’s large storagecapacity is not to directlysupply the electrical needs

of users at remote sites.Instead, that vast capacityis intended to be used torevolutionize the electricutility business by makingpossible a dramaticallydifferent generating andtransmission process.

Today Duke Energy andother electric utilitiesregularly start up and shutdown their generatingplants to meet the varyingdemands of theircustomers. Meeting theseirregular demands isincredibly costly. To theextent that the utilitiescould operate theirgenerating plants in theirmost efficient mode andfind other ways to supplypeak or other irregulardemands, the savings couldbe enormous.

Alevo’s GridBank isdesigned to "level out thegrid." GridBanks are to beconnected to the electricgrids that transmitelectricity from producersto users. They will collectand store any excess energy

and then release it when itis needed.

Alevo’s backers havealready invested hundredsof millions of dollars. Withmore than 100 employeesand numerous robots atwork, the manufacturingprocess in Concord is underway. When the product isready, customers arecommitted.

But Alevo cannot affordto release the battery untilall the bugs and potentialbugs are eliminated. Thecompany hopes it will besoon but will not yetcommit to a specific date.

When that date comes,Alevo will ramp upproduction and hundreds,even thousands, of goodjobs in Concord will be theresult.

Again though, why didthis Swiss company withmostly Norwegian officerslocate its business inConcord?

"Think Charlotte'sMyers Park High Schooland Davidson College,"says Harrison Wellford, theonly American member ofAlevo's board of directors.Wellford is a loyal andgrateful alumnus of bothschools.

Wellford’s cousin,Charlottean WellfordTabor, arranged thefinancing for theacquisition of the PhilipMorris site that cost $68million.

Wellford says thatAlevo’s general counsel,Tord Eide, has a similarconnection and affection forthe region. He spent a yearin Concord as a high schoolexchange student fromNorway. He met his latewife there and now plans tobuy a house in Concord.According to Alevo’s website, "it was Eide’s familyconnections in the U.S. thatled Alevo’s manufacturingbase of operations to launchin Concord."

There may be importantother reasons why Alevochose Concord, but themain one is that the formerPhilip Morris cigarette-manufacturing siteprovided an ideal locale fordesigning, testing andmanufacturing its high-tech product. For safetyreasons, these operationsbest take place in discretespaces within the factorycomplex. The Philip Morrissite was ideal.

Another plus for Alevoas a start-up company is thebeautiful and expansivepark-like campus thatPhilip Morris developed. Itprovides an attractive andimpressive location forprospective customers,employees, and investors tosee and learn about Alevo’soperations.

Whatever the reasonsAlevo came to our state,every North Carolinianshould wish Godspeed forits GridBank.

Letter To The Editor

GUEST EDITORIALBY LEE H. HAMILTON

I had the good fortunelast week to spend sometime in Washington, D.C.with about a dozen formermembers of Congress. Asyou’d expect, we got totalking about the currentCongress. Very quickly itturned out that the samequestion was troubling all ofus: Why is it held in such lowpublic esteem?

We represented bothparties and a variety of eras,and had a range ofexperience under our belts.

But we all foundourselves chagrined by whatwe’ve been witnessing. Youhave to understand thatmost former members ofCongress believe deeply inthe value of the institutionfor American repre-sentative government. Wemight take opposite sides ofparticular policy debates,but on one point we allagree: we want theinstitution itself to succeedand thrive. These days, it’sdoing neither.

For starters, we werehard-pressed to come upwith any realaccomplishments for theyear. Congress did pass arevision to No Child LeftBehind and a controversialexpansion of cyber-surveillance capabilities —which it slipped into a must-pass budget bill. It also tookthe entirely uncontroversialstep of broadening sanctionson North Korea. But that’spretty much it. In thecountry at large, people arefretting about everythingfrom control of our bordersto stagnant wages and thespread of ISIS. On CapitolHill, no one seems particu-larly concerned.

Worse, members showlittle interest in makingCongress more productive.Our little group allremembered times whenwe or our colleaguespushed reform efforts tomake the institution workbetter — and were struckthat current membersaren’t doing so. MostAmericans belong to somegroup or another that’s try-ing to accomplish changefor the better and improveitself at the same time.Why should Congress be anoutlier? Yet it is.

None of us believed thisis irreversible. We are allconvinced that strongleadership in Congresscould make an immensedifference. In the past,effective legislators on bothsides of the aisle — ascommittee chairs and ascaucus leaders — have leftbehind them a legacy ofgreat accomplishment.

I won’t waste your timewith a list of them, becausethe point is simple: it maybe a different time andlegislative environmentfrom 50 years ago, butstrong leadership canmake Congress work. Onthat, my former colleaguesand I, Republicans andDemocrats, foundourselves in full agree-ment.

Lee Hamilton is aSenior Advisor for theIndiana UniversityCenter on Represent-ative Government; aDistinguished Scholar,IU School of Global andInternational Studies;and a Professor ofPractice, IU School ofPublic and Environ-mental Affairs. He was amember of the U.S.House of Represent-atives for 34 years.

HB2 A SMOKE SCREEN?To The Editor:

It’s a known fact that if you yell “fire,” you will geteveryone’s attention. In politics, the same thing occurswhen a politician promotes an emotional issue that is sureto fire up his constituents and motivate them to get outand support and vote.

This is the reason I believe HB2 was formulated, andthus far, it appears to be working although this time itmay backfire. Allow me to state my case.

First and foremost, there is really no practical mannerto enforce HB2, which means it’s a bill with no teeth.Unless we agree to have bathroom sheriffs, which Iseriously doubt, individuals, will be able to use whicheverfacility they choose, which brings me to my second point.Individuals whose intent is to molest, don’t care whetherthere is a HB2 or not. Like any individual who decides todo wrong, they will do what they want, and lawenforcement will then step in to address.

Finally, it’s safe to presume members of the LGBTcommunity have already been using the bathroom of theirchoice, since no one knows what goes on behind lockedbathroom stall doors anyway; therefore, an attempt tolegislate their actions, appears nothing more than a smokescreen designed to rally the troops.

North Carolina residents have, in my opinion, had todeal with way too much of this current administration’slack of genuine concern for our teachers, workers andpeople. The McCrory administration has turned its backon issues like fracking, Duke’s coal ash debacle, etc.

I hope we don’t get too caught up in this latest ploydesigned to help get McCrory re-elected. Enough isenough!

On NYC in general:“Fantastic and Life-Changing. My favorite partabout the NYC trip was onsitting on rock in CentralPark that gives anincredible 360 degree viewof the city. Everywhere youlook you see a newskyscraper constantlybeing constructed. It'sforever busy with people onthe move to go here andthere for you wouldconstantly see someonewalk fast rather than moveat a slow and steady pace.This view let me realizehow much I like living inNorth Carolina. To sum itup, my favorite part of thistrip was the fact I was ableto appreciate my smalltown, Oxford and NorthCarolina more than ever.”

Howard attends statewide Economic Services ConventionGranville County’s

Department of SocialServices (DSS) staffmember Ernestine Howardattended the May 3-4Economic ServicesConvention sponsored bythe North CarolinaAssociation of CountyCommissioners in Raleigh.The two-day event broughttogether federal, state andlocal officials to discussways that counties canimprove providing much-needed economic services tocitizens.

“This conference was agreat learning experienceand great networkingopportunity. I received a lotof valuable informationwhich I hope to use toimplement changes whichwill improve DSSperformance in GranvilleCounty,” said Howard

Officials from the Foodand Nutrition ServiceAgency within the UnitedStates Department ofAgriculture announced onthe final day of the eventthat North Carolina wasone of three states chosenfor the next round oftraining through theSupplemental NutritionAssistance Program(SNAP) ProcessImprovement Collaborative.

“Since the state was

already working on theirapplication processingtimeliness, we thoughtNorth Carolina would be agood candidate for theprogram,” said PeggyFouts, SNAP Director withthe USDA's SoutheastRegion.

For the past year, theNCACC has worked withcounty DSS directors andofficials from NCDHHS tohelp improve the statewideapplication processing ratefor SNAP (food stamps).NCDHHS received awarning letter from USDAin 2015 that said the statecould lose more than $80million per year in federalfunding - most of whichgoes to county DSSagencies - if the state didnot drastically improve itsapplication processing andmeet the federal 95%standard by July 1, 2016.

The NCACC sponsoredregular webinars withNCDHHS officials andcounty managers and DSSDirectors, and organized aFebruary meeting withUSDA AdministratorAudrey Rowe inWashington, D.C., todiscuss steps the state andcounties were taking.

The Collaborative isfunded by USDA and isdesigned to reduce thenumber of days agencies

need to make eligibilitydeterminations on initialapplications andrecertifications and toincrease processingtimeliness so that states

will maintain a timelinessrate of 95 percent.

More than 100 countystaff, includingcommissioners, managersand DSS Directors,

attended the event.Speakers from the states ofWisconsin and Tennesseespoke about steps theirdepartments had taken toimprove processing, and

several county DSSDirectors from throughoutNorth Carolina shared bestpractices and ideas duringpanel discussions.

RATESGWASA belongs to Mr.Mize and his very talentedteam. He later said, “I feelfairly confident that wehave a good team thatheads up the operationsand daily activities ofSGWASA.”

“I just want to clarify ifthere was amisunderstanding that thisboard does not operate norare we certified, nor do wehave any of the things thatthe people that run the dayto day operations have. Weare all thankful to them forthe abilities they have.”

Wilkerson saidspeaking of qualification hewas the first operator inCreedmoor to ever get an A

license. He said he had towork hard to get it but hegot it. Wilkerson added thathe had gotten help frompeople in Butner, Raleigh,Durham and all of that. Hesaid when he was runningthe water plant when hehad a problem all he had todo was pick up the phoneand call somebody. Theywere willing to help. Hesaid, “That is the same waythat I am with this boardhere or anyone else, askme.”

One woman spokeduring public commentsabout her concern about aproposed rate hike and thequality of the water. Shesaid that her water bill ishigher than her electric billand that she buys bottledwater which is an addedexpense.

Currin responded to herthat the rate schedule has

been developing for severalyears to incorporate all theexpenses and operatingexpenses that they havewithin SGWASA andcapital payback. He said hehoped that whateverconcerns she had about thequality of water have beenrelieved. They are underconstant compliance thatthey have to meet with thestate.

He went on to say hedidn’t know how to relieveher except to tell her thewater is safe.

She said that herconcern was the quality andsafety of the water and thenotices that she gets.

Mize was asked torespond to her concerns. Hesaid the federal EPA is setup that they have to samplethe system once everyquarter and it leaves 4different places for

disinfection byproducts.The limits that they set arecalled chronic long term.EPA even has on theirwebsites that they are notsure at these levels if theyaffect human beings or not.

He added that the statewill not let SGWASA changethe actual notice that is sentout. Mize said he doesn’tlike the way that they areworded because franklythey scare people. It issupposed to inform you andnot scare you. That is notwhat it is all about.

The way that it iswritten it a federal andstate thing and SGWASAhas to use their model.When they can change itthey do. Several of thenotices that customers got,SGWASA was actually incompliance. But becausethey had one number thatput the average 4 quartersout still above they had tobe sent out. There werethree sent back to back eventhough changes had beenmade at the plant they arealso making changes now.

The notices have to besent out as required by thestate. EPA says they wantto regulate this becausethey think it might be aproblem. Mize added thathe was not saying that itisn’t a problem.

The definition the EPAused ten years ago said youwould have to drink thiswater at this level for 70

years and drink a liter ofwater everyday to have aone in billion chance ofgetting cancer. But yet thenotices have to be sent out.

SGWASA has anengineering firm they areworking with now. Thehydrates are flowing andthey are trying to keep thewater moving. They arewaiting for an EPA reportto be finalized and see ifany additional adjustmentsneed to be made at thewater treatment plant.

A declaration of intentto modify the SGWASAwater rules was approvedwith outlined changes. Theupdated version will bebrought back to the boardin 60 days for theirapproval.

Medical InsuranceCurrently Coventry

which has been bought outby AETNA is the currentprovider for the employeesof SGWASA with an annualpremium of $265,034.00.AETNA proposes a 14%increase to $312, 141.00.

After getting quotesfrom the four insuranceproviders serving NorthCarolina for anorganization the size ofSGWASA therecommendation was tochange insurance carriers.The approval was made togo with United Healthcarefor a 9.7% decrease inannual premium at a totalof $239,194.00. The new

plan has a slightly highercopay and deductible butthe out of pocket is lowerthan the current plan andit is also a fully insuredplan.

Routine eye exams areoffered by the current plan,but no assistance withhardware. The new planoffers no eye coverage.SGWASA was quoted avision policy from VPSChoice Plan to fill in the gapin coverage. The annualtotal premium of $3, 175.00would offer routine eyeexams, assistance withhardware and otherbenefits.

So the additional policyalong with the change ofmedical insuranceproviders would still be an8.6% decrease for SGWASAand would be $22,665.00less a year.

Dental InsuranceLincoln Financial, the

current provider of dentalinsurance for SGWASAprovided a quote of anincrease of 7.1% for $823.20additional for the year. Theboard voted to renew dentalinsurance with LincolnFinancial.Short Term Disability

Short Term Disability isalso provided by LincolnFinancial. With a 0%increase quoted the boardalso voted to renew thepolicy with LincolnFinancial for Short TermDisability.

A 529 PLAN CAN HELPWITH THOSE COLLEGE BILLS

Another school year is drawing to a close. If you haveyounger kids, they’re looking forward to theirsummertime activities. But someday, they will face abigger transition as they head off to college. Will you befinancially prepared?

A 529 plan can help. Contribution limits are high, andwithdrawals from earnings are tax-free, provided theyare used for qualified higher education expenses.Earnings distributions not used for qualified expensesmay be subject to federal and state income tax, and a10% IRS penalty.

You have great freedom in choosing a 529 plan. Youcan live in one state, invest in another state’s plan, andsend your student to school in a third state, if you want.

A 529 plan does have considerations you will need tothink about. For example, your plan could affect yourchild’s ability to receive financial aid, but if the accountis held in your name, rather than your child’s, the impactmay not be too severe.

In any case, a 529 plan is worth exploring. And don’twait too long — as you know, kids grow up fast.

HOW TO REPLACE VITAL DOCUMENTSTHAT ARE LOST OR STOLEN

Dear Savvy Senior,Can you tell me how to go about replacing important

lost documents? My wife and I recently downsized to aretirement community, and somewhere in the move welost our Social Security and Medicare cards, birthcertificates, marriage license and passports.

Worried RonDear Ron,

Replacing important documents that are lost, stolenor damaged is pretty easy if you know where to turn.Here are the replacement resources for each documentyou mentioned, along with some tips to protect you fromidentity theft, which can happen if your documents endup in the wrong hands.

Birth certificate: If you were born in the UnitedStates, contact the vital records office in the state whereyou were born (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm for contactinformation). This office will give you specific instructionson what you need to do to order a certified copy and whatit will cost you. Birth certificate fees range between $9and $30.

Social Security card: You can replace a lost or stolenSocial Security card for free, and if you live in the Districtof Columbia, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington orWisconsin, you can do it online at ssa.gov/ssnumber.

If, however, you live outside these areas, you’ll needto fill out Form SS-5 (see ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf to printa copy) and take it in or mail it to your nearby SocialSecurity office, along with your U.S. driver’s license, ora state-issued non-driver ID card or a U.S. passport(photocopies are not accepted). Any documents you mailin will be returned to you. To find the Social Securityoffice that serves your area, call 800-772-1213 or seessa.gov/locator.

You also need to be aware that losing your SocialSecurity card puts you at risk for identity theft. If youfind that someone uses your Social Security number toobtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goodsand services, report it immediately to the Federal TradeCommission at IdentityTheft.gov (or 877-438-4338). Thissite will also give you specific steps you’ll need to take tohandle this problem.

Medicare card: To replace your Medicare card for free,just call Social Security 800-772-1213 or contact yourlocal Social Security office. You can also request oneonline at ssa.gov/myaccount. Your card will arrive in themail in about 30 days.

By losing your Medicare card, you also need to watchout for Medicare fraud. So check your MedicareSummary Notice for services you did not receive and, ifyou spot any, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotlineat 800-447-8477 to report them.

Marriage certificate: Contact your state’s vital recordsoffice to order a copy (see cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm). You’llneed to provide your full names for you and your spouse,the date of your wedding, and the city or town where thewedding was performed. Fees range from $10 to $30.

Note: Divorce certificates can also be ordered fromyour state’s vital records office (fees range from $5 to$30), and divorce decree documents can be obtained fromthe county clerk’s office for the city or county in whichthe divorce was granted.

Passport: A lost passport also puts you at risk foridentity theft, so you need to report this as soon aspossible to the U.S. State Department. Go totravel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/lost-stolen.html and fill out Form DS-64. You’ll receive an e-mail acknowledging that your report was received.Within a couple of days, you’ll receive another e-mail (orletter, if you request that option) confirming that yourpassport has been entered into the Consular Lost orStolen Database.

You can apply for a replacement passport at aPassport Application Acceptance Facility. Many postoffices, public libraries and local government offices serveas such facilities. You can search for the nearestauthorized facility at iafdb.travel.state.gov. The fee fora replacement passport is $135.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS:KNOW THE TAX RULES

Taxes are an important part of the decision to ownreal estate. Here's a brief overview of tax benefits you canrealize while you own real property, as well as when yousell or otherwise dispose of the property.

Current expenses. As a rental property owner, youcan deduct current expenses to offset the tax you owe onthe rent you receive. For instance, you can write offmortgage interest, property taxes, repairs, and expensesof maintaining your property. The cost of capitalimprovements is generally added to your basis, providinga benefit when you sell. Be aware that passive activityrules may limit your ability to claim current annual losses.

Depreciation. Depreciation lets you convert thepurchase price of your rental property into an expenseover the property's expected life. The recovery period forresidential buildings is 271/2 years, while commercialbuildings use a 39-year period. Some qualifiedimprovements may be expensed over a shorter time.

Capital gain. The sale of real estate is generally taxedunder capital gain rules. If you sell rental property you'veheld for longer than one year for more than you paid forit, the gain is taxed at rates up to 15% (20% if you're inthe top ordinary income tax bracket). However, you mayhave to recapture some of the depreciation expense youclaimed over the time you owned the property. That canmean part of your gain may be subject to higher tax rates.Losses can offset capital gains from sales of other assets.

Like-kind exchange. Instead of selling your property,you might arrange a like-kind exchange under Section1031 of the federal income tax code, where you "swap"your property for replacement property. If certain timingand other requirements are met, you can defer tax on partor all of the transaction.

Please contact us to discuss these and other tax-savingopportunities.
