On Wednesday, October
27 at 9:00, the official
“Groundbreaking Ceremony”
for the new Charles E Perry
School took place at 180 Butler
Island Road in Roseboro. Many
people were in attendance that
have been advocating for this
dream to come to a reality.
The National Anthem was
sung by Lakewood High School
Senior and ROTC member Willie
Davis. G.H. Wilson welcomed
the dignitaries that were
present and offered thanks
for all that helped to make
this event possible; Ed Causey,
the USDA, Congressmen and
Senators, architects, County
Commissioners, the Sampson
County Board and many more.
Mr. Wilson stated, “Hopefully
within a year, we will see a
beautiful new school right here
that will benefit our children’s
education and future.”
Remarks were made
by both John Blanton and
Jefferson Strickland-both SC
Commissioners who played a
pivotal role in the decision to
move forward with the new
school even in tough economic
times. Commissioner Blanton
stated, “This is a very special
occasion. Everyone knows that
Charles E Perry was the worst
school in the county. However,
it was always put on the back
burner. We will have people
that are unhappy about this
project. We need your support
and God knows what is best for
us. You cannot take a penny
with you when you go. We
also need to work together to
preserve the existing Charles
E Perry School.” Jefferson
Strickland replied, “I was on the

Halloween in the Park

Malachi Faison
The City of Clinton Police
Department began holding
“Halloween on the Square”
celebrations 8 years ago in
downtown Clinton; however
it has been moved to Royal
Lane Park this year. So
the name of the event has
changed to “Halloween in
the Park” and will be held on
Saturday October 30, 2010
beginning at 6:00. It will be
located between ball fields
#1 and near the main office.
The whole idea to form this
event was to have a controlled, safe, and wholesome location for the community to bring
their families to during Halloween.
There are numerous booths from throughout the community that set up during the event
which hand out free candy, information, and other promotional items. The children love the
chance to come together outside of the school environment to hang out together in their
Halloween costumes. Their parents also get to walk around in their costumes and socialize
while they know their children are near having a great time.
Other sponsors are the Clinton Recreation and Parks Department, SOLIS (Saving Our Lives
in Sampson), NC 4-H Youth Development, Partnership for Children, Head Start, Piggly Wiggly,
see Halloween, P. A3
and graduated from Hargrove High School in 1958.
He went on to earn an Associates Degree in Computer
Programming and a Certificate in Automotive Mechanics
from Wayne Community College. He also earned an
Associates Degree in Agricultural Science from Sampson
Community College and a Certificate in Community
Economic Development from Fayetteville Community
College.
Mr. Faison was a former farmer and a self-employed
manager of a service station that contracted county
business. He was also employed by the State of North
Carolina in Horticultural Technology where he retired in
May, 1995 with 20 years of service.
Malachi was a devoted member of Holly Grove Disciples
of Church where he was a Sunday School teacher and
Sunday School Superintendent.
The list of public servant positions that Mr. Faison
held is quite extensive: Former Chairman, NAACP (local),
Sampson County Voter League Precinct Chairman,
Sampson County Democratic Party Chairman, Sampson
County Agricultural Extension Advisory Council, Second
Vice Chairman of 3rd Congressional District, Member
of the Sampson County Board of Elections, Member of
the North Carolina Black Leadership Caucus, Member
of the National Congressional Black Caucus, Member
of the SBA Advisory Board (Washington, DC), Member
of the North Carolina State

LOCAL NEWS
Tuesdays from 2:30 PM till 3:30 PM, J.W. Simmons
hosts a radio show on 1170 AM called “We Should
Know” and The Sampson Weekly will feature
portions of the transcripts in our continuing efforts
to bring you more coverage of what is happening in
our community.
This week’s guest was Kent Wooten, Sampson
County Cooperative Extension Director. Mr. Wooten’s
opening statement was, “There is no doubt Sampson
County is built on agriculture. Our mission is to help
develop and promote agriculture in the county and
provide the growers and agribusinesses the best
possible products.
In Sampson County, the Co-Operative Extension
is fortunate to have a staff which covers a lot of
specialty areas; these areas include field crop
production, horticulture and livestock. We are also
affiliated with NC State University. So if we aren’t
able to answer questions or help solve a problem
which may arise on the farms in our county, we are
able to utilize the resources available through this
We Should Know…
affiliation. Our office and personnel do a lot of
problem solving. If we can’t diagnose the problem,
we have the ability to send it up to the labs.
We try to be very proactive and our mission is
education, so that we can help our farmers avoid
as many problems as possible. Sampson County is
a good place to farm. We are blessed with a lot of
farm land, being the largest county by land mass
in the state. The county has 13 different soil types
allowing for a wide variety of different crops to
flourish.”
Farming has changed over the years. An example
of this is the size of the average farm. We now
have farmers tending crops on farms from 500
to1000 acres and, on a few occasions, up to several
thousands of acres. Technology has also changed
for the farmers allowing them to grow larger crops.
Sampson County is still the number one tobacco
producer in the state. We grow over 12,000 acres of
tobacco in the county annually.
Tobacco is in transition. It is a commodity and it
is influenced by pressure from the world market.
Farmers are questioning whether or not it is worth
the tremendous investment required to produce.
The needed equipment is aging for this product
and, for it to continue to be produced, will require
tremendous additional investment for the farmers.
With the changing of the tobacco support system,
all farmers growing tobacco today sell directly to
the tobacco companies through contracts. There
Hubb’s Corn Maze
are no longer weekly trips to the market to have
your product bid for on the market floor.
Some of the positives for being a farmer in Sampson
County include our infrastructure, good roads, local
tractor and equipment dealers, agricultural supplies
and the weather. Our local farms are also very
diverse. Most of the famers grow a wide variety of
crops as well as raising poultry and livestock. The
mix of crop and land use allows each farm to spread
the risk of farming out among several different
opportunities, giving the farmer more stability and
balancing out the risk year to year.”
Agriculture is the number one industry in our
county and is the number one industry in the state.
The industry generates nearly 1 billion dollars of
cash receipts at the farm level in Sampson County
annually and that is excluding the agribusiness
level. 70% of the income generated in the county is
generated at this level.
The income generated at this level is the base for
all other business in our county. This includes the
car dealers, grocery stores and all other services
provided to our citizens.”
The next “We Should Know” program hosted by J.W.
Simmons will air next Tuesday from 2:30-3:30 pm on
our local radio station WCLN 1170 AM. Email any
questions or comments to [email protected].

Halloween
Safety Tips
Clinton, NC - Soon our streets will be scattered with little
ghosts, goblins and witches trick-or-treating this Halloween.
“Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment, and
following some common sense practices can keep events safer
and more fun,” said Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton.
Sheriff Thornton reminds all Sampson County residents to
follow these safety tips:
Motorists:
-Watch for children darting out from between parked cars.
-Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.
-Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.
-At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark
clothing.
Parents:
-Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be
Sunday 11/7: Last Day at the maze-Special rates and prizes! See website for details.
Thanks again for all of the support from the community and for allowing Hubb’s Corn Maze to be
a part of your fall entertainment. For more information visit our website at hubbscornmaze.com or

supervising the outing for children under age 12.
-Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow.
Know the names of older children’s companions.
-Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along
an established route.
-Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment
buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger’s home.
-Establish a return time.
-Tell your youngsters not to eat any treats until they return home.
-Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precautions,
including pedestrian/traffic safety rules.
-Pin a slip of paper with the child’s name, address and phone
number inside a pocket in case the youngster gets separated
from the group.
Costume Design:
-Only fire-retardant materials should be used for costumes.
-Costumes should be loose so warm clothes can be worn
underneath.
-Costumes should not be so long that they are a tripping hazard.
-If children are allowed out after dark, outfits should be made
with light colored materials. Strips of retro-reflective tape should
be used to make children visible.
Face Design:
-Masks can obstruct a child’s vision. Use facial make-up instead.
-When buying special Halloween makeup, check for packages
containing ingredients that are labeled “Made with U.S.
Approved Color Additives,” “Laboratory Tested,” “Meets Federal
Standards for Cosmetics,” or “Non-Toxic.” Follow manufacturer’s
instruction for application.
-If masks are worn, they should have nose and mouth openings
and large eye holes.
While Trick-or-Treating:
-Do not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.
-Walk; do not run, from house to house. Do not cross yards and
lawns where unseen objects or the uneven terrain can present
tripping hazards.
-Walk on sidewalks, not in the street.
-Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic if there are no
sidewalks.
Treats:
-Give children an early meal before going out.
-Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before
anything is eaten.
-Wash fruit and slice into small pieces.
-When in doubt, throw it out.
“Halloween is a fun time in Sampson County,” Sheriff Thornton
concluded, “But let’s make it a safe time as well. The major
dangers are not from witches or spirits but rather from falls and
pedestrian/car crashes. “

Malachi Faison was elected in November of 2000 to serve out the remaining two years
of Larry Bell’s term as Sampson County Commissioner. He was re-elected to the office
in 2002 and again in 2006. Friend and fellow Commissioner John Blanton remarked,
“He was a wonderful person to work with. He cared greatly for the people of Sampson
County and his district.” He went on to say, “His philosophy was to always do the right
thing. He also strongly believed in his church and he always took everything to God
in prayer. He did not believe in fighting life’s battles alone-he always depended upon
God for help and guidance in everything he did.” Mr. Blanton went on to lovingly reply,
“Malachi liked to joke but he took his job very seriously. Everyone was his friend. He
was always there for me and right by my side. Even though we did not always agree on
things, he respected me.” Mr. Blanton applauded Mr. Faison for his stance on the new
Charles E Perry School. “He was the third vote needed. It was a very brave thing he did-it
was not easy casting that deciding vote. The people of Sampson County need to thank
Malachi for that.” With a tearful voice, Mr. Blanton noted, “We will miss him greatly. I
want to thank the good Lord that I got know and serve with him.”
Another friend and Commissioner, Jefferson Strickland commented that he had
visited Malachi in the hospital before his death. “It happened so quickly. None of us
were aware that he was having problems. I am so thankful that the family allowed me
to visit Malachi even though he was unresponsive. I held his hand and told him how
important he was to everyone in Sampson County.” Mr. Strickland went on to say that
all the Commissioners are deeply saddened by their friend’s sudden death. “He was a
gracious man, always kind to everyone. He was a devoted commissioner; I do not recall
him ever missing a meeting. He cared for the people of Sampson County. He was always
humble and respectful of others. He was a kind person.”
A “Going Home” service was held Wednesday at 12:00 pm at the Sampson County
Exposition Center with the Elder Terrell Powell officiating. Entombment followed at
Hillcrest Memorial Park on Hwy 24 with full Mason rites. Mr. Malachi lived a life for Christ
while on earth and is definitely in heaven with his Father today.

10 years ago. Our goal was to narrow down what the priorities were for the school system. I never
thought that we would be here today. This has been a long time coming. We have gone through
some challenging times the last 2 years. We need to keep our nose to the ground and work togetherthe Board of Education and the County Commissioners. Our desire is to do what is best for the people
of Sampson County.” He went on to quote, “There never is a right time to do the wrong thing. There
never is a wrong time to do the right thing.”
Kim Miller from the USDA, Rural Development was also at the event and said a few words about
the financial process of the new building project. She remarked that the commissioners were
instrumental in acquiring the low interest USDA loan of $12.2 million dollars. She also went on to
state that a government stimulus grant in the amount of $440,000 was also obtained for the project.
Roosevelt Wright, SC School Board Member, stated, “51 years ago we had a dedication for the
existing Charles E Perry School. The building still looks good, but looks can be deceiving. We are
responsible for over 8000 students. We must prepare our students for the challenges of the 21st
Century. There have been lots of doubters concerning this project but this has finally become a
reality.”
Closing remarks were made by Telfair Simpson, School Board Member. He remarked that when he
was elected, he vowed to get the new Charles E Perry School built. He thanked the community, the
Advisory Board members, the school board, central office employees and the County Commissioners.
He stated, “We also need to thank Malachi Faison who is not with us today. He was instrumental in
making this project possible. We are all investing in our future and our children’s future.”
The completion of the new Charles E Perry School is scheduled to take approximately 18 months.

Annual Ham Breakfast At CPHC More Than A Tradition
Wendell and Helen Price, members of CPHC since
1952, have been credited with being the founders
of the annual Ham Breakfast Event the community
looks forward to each fall. Mr. Wendell stated,
“When I retired in the late 60’s- early 70’s I had
a peach farm outside of Clinton on Lake Artesia
Rd. My wife Helen would make peach preserves
each year and she taught the ladies of the church
how to prepare the peach preserves. I would
cook ham, gravy and grits while the ladies were
making the preserves. One thing led to another
and we started cooking the ham and gravy and
having the preserves available for sale.
The Annual event has been more than a
tradition; it gives the members of the church
an opportunity to unite and fellowship while
preparing a meal for the community. According
to Mr. Price, “Many church members have come
to the church by way of this event. What started
out as peach preserves, has grown into the
largest fund raising event CPHC has during the
year.”
Mr. Price stated, “My mom was a dear Christian
woman who raised nine children, eight are still
living, the oldest is 90 years old. My dad served
in WWI, when he was in Europe, a gas bomb was
thrown into a trench where 5 French soldiers were
taking cover. My dad’s commanding officer sent
him into the trench to retrieve the 5 soldiers and
he was poisoned. The doctors told him he would
not live long because he was already coughing
up blood. My mom was told and she gathered
her church friends together and they started
praying for a miracle. I am here today because of
the grace and plans of God. Our God had a plan
which was greater than me or my dad.”
Asked what legacy Mr. Price would leave for his
community he responded, “I have been a strict
student of the Bible, I have studied God’s word,
I have obeyed and I have become an obedient
Child of God. The Bible says “Take up thy Cross”
this tells us there will be some hardship along
the way. We all have to get uncomfortable and
daily pickup our cross.”
When asked what Mr. Price’s favorite Bible verse
Weekly Devotion
That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,
“It is the Lord!” (John 21:7 NRSV Bible)
A man showed up at church with his ears painfully blistered. After the service, his concerned
pastor asked “What in the world happened to you?” The man replied, “I was lying on the
couch yesterday afternoon watching a ball game on TV and my wife was ironing nearby. I
was totally engrossed in the game when she left the room, leaving the iron near the phone.
The phone rang and keeping my eyes glued to the television, I grabbed the hot iron and
put it to my ear.” “So how did the other ear get burned?” the pastor asked. “Well, I had no
more than hung up and the guy called again.” Now that is a man who was focused. He
was so caught up in watching the game, he didn’t know what he was doing. In our lesson
for today the disciples of Jesus have lost their focus. They are confused and weary. They
needed a break. They have been through so much. They had seen their Master crucified
on a cruel cross. It was the lowest point in their lives. They had invested everything they
is he said, “I love to witness, I have been a Gideon
since 1991 and when I witness to someone , I
start with John 3:16, For God so loved the world,
he gave his only Son, so that whoever believed in
Him would not perish but have ever lasting life.
When I was selling peaches in Warsaw, I would
keep a stack of Bibles and when the opportunity
would present itself for me to witness to someone,
I was prepared.”
It’s evident in Mr. Wendell’s life how God has used
the fruit of a peach tree to change many lives.
The annual Ham Breakfast is scheduled for
Saturday November 13 at Clinton Pentecostal
Church beside of Sampson Community College.

had into following him--including three years of their lives. When they saw him nailed
between two thieves, it was as if everything they had worked for was futile and without
meaning. No one could know their pain and disillusionment. Then the women had gone
to the tomb on the first day of the week and found the stone rolled away and the body
gone. It was then they discovered that their Master was alive. Now each of them had seen
him with their own eyes. Still, it was a bit too much for them to deal with mentally and
emotionally. They wanted to believe, but it was like they were in a dream. It was too much,
too soon. The disciples were still trying to sort all of this out when Simon Peter said, “Let’s
go fishing.” They fished all night, but without any luck. Just as the day was breaking and
they were ready to call it a night, they saw a stranger on the beach. “Having any luck?”
he called out to them. “Afraid not,” they called back. “Cast the net on the other side of the
boat,” the stranger replied, “and you will find some.” And they did, and this time their net
was teeming with fish. And the disciple John turned to Simon Peter and said, “It is the
Lord.” Who else could it be? Who else has dominion over both land and sea? Of course, it
is the Lord. Will we be focused today, so that we will see the Lord? Loving God, may I not
get distracted today from seeing you. In Jesus name, Amen.

ABOUT SUE KOSTROSKI.....Sewing is Sue’s passion and has been for as long as she
can remember. She started sewing doll clothes at age seven and proceeded from there to
clothing for herself while in 4H. “My mother was the 4H clothing leader so I received
special attention at home”. Her love of sewing lead her to pursue a degree in Clothing
and Textiles. She has also received training through the Home Sewing Association as a
Trained Sewing Educator. The degree opened the door to several interesting positions;
product demonstrator, fabric store manager, and most recently positions at Nancy’s
Notions as a Sewing and Product Advisor, Notion Buyer, Event Coordinator, and
Educator. Sue is very excited to be with Baby Lock as an Educational Consultant. “Of

RELIGION
Political Correctness
If you take the concept of political correctness at face value, it is a good thing. If
being politically correct means that we treat people of different backgrounds with
respect and do not stereotype them based on their race or gender, then it is in fact,
very biblical.
But this is not the intention of our modern, politically correct movement.
This movement is designed to intimidate people into using language that has
been pre-approved. Political correctness tends to be completely focused on
human sensitivity and self-esteem. When you focus on human sensitivity and self,
you eliminate God from your life.
Emphasizing human sensitivity and adjusting our terminology will not produce
self-esteem or self-respect. Self-acceptance stems first and foremost from our
knowledge of who we are in Jesus Christ. That is why true followers of Christ must
not engage in this absurdity. We must declare without shame that all those who
are saved by Christ are brothers and sisters in Him. Everyone who knows Jesus,
whether they are men or women, young or old, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,
Native American-or from any other background-are equal in His sight. Each will
share equally in the inheritance of their heavenly Father’s estate.
Before the politically correct crowd was ever born, believers loved one another. They
didn’t love because they were pressured by society to do it. They loved because
Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so
you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if
you love one another” (John 13:34-35). We must continue to proclaim to the world
that God does not judge us by outward appearance, but He judges us based on
our faith in Him, our heart condition, not our “worldly” political correctness. Faith
in Jesus Christ is our common denominator, not use of the world’s pre-approved
word.
In 2 Timothy, Paul warns his young friend to not be ashamed to preach the Gospel,
saying: “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke
and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come
when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires,
they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their ears
want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths”
(2 Timothy 4:2-4).
It is politically incorrect to say that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life-but
it is the truth. Only His truth changes lives and unlocks the beauty of our full worth
as men and women who are made in His image. Only He can change our hearts so
we are able to love our neighbors.
We must remember that the only thing that counts is true faith “expressing itself
through love” (Galatians 5:6).
A Limp And A New Name
By Vanessa W. Polk
Genesis 32:24-25 –
So Jacob was left
alone, and a man
wrestled with him
till daybreak. When
the man saw that he
could not overpower
him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so
that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with
the man. When I was a little girl, my Mother
loved professional wrestling; and even though
she knew they were staged performances,
it never stopped both of us from yelling and
screaming during the matches. One of her
favorite wrestlers was Dick the Bruiser; and,
though many opponents struggled valiantly
to overcome him, rarely did they leave the
ring without injury. Life can be like a series of
wrestling matches. We struggle with truth and
injustice, we struggle to make sense of suffering,
we struggle with self-discovery; and, rarely do
we walk away from these experiences without
a noticeable difference. Life matches are not
always pleasant, but often necessary. A soul left
alone with its thoughts, concerns, decisions, or
fears presents the ideal atmosphere for a lifechanging match with God.
Life Focus: When we are ready to deal with
past mistakes, the stuff that possess us, and are
willing to be left alone; God will visit us. He will
come into our night, evoke internal conflict,
touch the socket of our struggle, and give us
a new name. We do not escape heart-to-heart
encounters with God without being changed,
transformed, or renewed.
Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,
because you have struggled with God and with
men and have overcome. – Genesis 32:26

Did you know that one in three women around the world
will be raped, beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused
in her lifetime? Last year in Sampson, U Care, our local
domestic violence agency, served 2,643 individuals who
suffered at the hands of an abuser and were in desperate
need of protection or support. Of the 2,643 individuals
served, 148 were sexual assault victims – 72 of which were
under the age of 12. This may not sound like much, but it
is. One person having to deal with the affects of domestic
violence or sexual assault is one too many. That one person
could be you, or someone you care about
U Care has been a good neighbor to the citizens of
Sampson County and surrounding areas; and, has become
HEALTH
known as a Place of
Refuge. Individuals and
families in need can find
24-hour crisis intervention,
counseling, court advocacy,
job training, a Spanish

Over the past 15 years
more than 28,000 people

that’s right. Twenty-eight
thousands individuals have
experienced violence or abuse; and, reached out to U Care
for help so that they could reclaim and transform their lives.
When thinking about the month of October, Breast Cancer
Awareness usually comes to the forefront of most media
and fundraising coverage, but it is also a month to draw
attention to Domestic Violence. As Breast Cancer is the most
commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of
cancer deaths among women in the United States, Domestic
Violence is the number two killer of law enforcement for
women.
Although it may be hard to imagine, victims of domestic

violence are all around us. Some of them work with us, serve
on committees with us, worship with us, teach our children,
deliver our mail, pastor our Churches, fix our cars, prepare
our fast foods, govern our City, live next door to us; or, may
even be one of our loved ones. Domestic Violence can
happen to anyone –even those that embody confidence,
success, wealth, and social status. It does not discriminate!
It is an insidious pattern of behavior that affects the whole
community.
During the month of October increased attention is given
to shining a light on domestic violence in local communities
and letting victims, families, and friends know that they are
not alone. Domestic Violence often follows a generational
cycle of abuse. If this cycle is not broken it has been proven
to repeat itself; becoming even more deadly than before.
No one deserves to be abused! Break the shameful silence,
stop the violence, and help break the cycle of violence in
your home, your school, or workplace. If you, or someone

Take Advantage Of Open Enrollment
To Help Better Your Health
When it comes to making the most of your health benefits,
here is some advice from Susan Kosman, Aetna’s chief nursing
officer, and Tracey Baker, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER
professional. They came up with four easy steps, available
at www.besmartaboutyourhealth.com, to help you skip the
stress, avoid the confusion, and get your health plan working
for you in 60 minutes or less.
(ARA) - There’s a lot you can do in an hour to better your health.
In one hour, you can take a yoga class, make a healthy meal, or
get your teeth cleaned. You can even get a massage. Keeping
your health benefits in tip-top shape is another smart way to
spend an hour helping to improve your physical and financial
health.
Changes in health benefits can mean big changes to a family’s
finances. During your company’s open enrollment period,
spend an hour reviewing your health plan options so you can
make smart, informed choices when it comes to your health
and finances.
Held once a year - often between October and December open enrollment is when you have a 30-day window to make
changes to your health coverage. During those 30 days, take an
hour to review the plans that are available to you and compare
them against your family’s health needs. Think of it as your
personal health care makeover.
1. Prioritize
What is most important for the health and wellness of you and
your family? Maybe it’s the cost of prescription drugs. Perhaps
it’s being able to see out-of-network doctors. It could be dental
or vision exams - or even discounts on wellness services like
gym memberships. Assess your family’s health priorities and
look for plans that cover these services.
2. Calculate
Tracking what you spend is a great way to make better choices
about your health benefits. You wouldn’t buy a car without
comparing it to other models and knowing what it would cost
a month, would you? Follow these steps to ensure you are
getting a health plan that works for you and won’t break your
piggy bank:
* Make sure you can afford the premiums. The health reform
law passed by Congress aims to keep premiums in check. No
one knows what will happen when new rules go into effect in
2014. For now, be sure to pick a plan that balances your health
needs and your budget.
* Review last year’s medical costs. Knowing what you spent last
year on health care will help you effectively plan for the coming
year. If you can, set up a flexible spending account (FSA), which
is exempt from most taxes, to pay for your health spending.
Because FSAs are mostly tax-free, you’ll be able to keep more
money in your paycheck each month. Keep in mind that health
reform will put a $2,500 annual limit on your FSA by 2013.
* Check annual or lifetime limits. As a result of the health reform
law, insurers will stop lifetime limits this year, and will eliminate
annual limits in 2014. Be sure to check if your health plan has
a limit - especially if you have a chronic condition like diabetes
or asthma.
* Look for other ways to save. Health Reimbursement
Arrangements (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are
other ways to save pre-tax dollars for health expenses.
3. Predict
Look ahead to annual doctors’ visits or routine health screenings
like mammograms or colonoscopies. Using these preventive
services is a great way to save money and stay healthy.
4. Compare
If you have a choice between health plans, find the plan that
gives the biggest bang for your buck. If you have just one
option through your plan at work, or if you buy individual
health benefits, make sure you use all of the services that
are covered. After all, you’re paying for them. For instance,
child immunizations and wellness discounts may be covered.
Health care reform may make it easier to receive these types
of services.
Medical Assistant - A New Career
(ARA) - Now that the kids are back in school, are you considering going
back to college yourself? If so, you owe it to yourself to consider a career as
a medical assistant. Medical assisting is one of the fastest growing jobs for
women in 2010, according to Forbes Magazine.
Although you might not be familiar with the title “medical assistant,” you’ve
certainly encountered them in your doctor’s office or medical clinic. Medical
assistants perform both clinical and administrative tasks, such as charting a
patient’s medical history, scheduling appointments, and recording height,
weight, temperature and blood pressure information. They work in a wide
range of medical and health facilities, including physician’s offices and clinics.
Forbes Magazine lists it as a top career for women because approximately
90 percent of medical assistants are women. The career offers substantial
flexibility in scheduling and has relatively low entrance requirements. This
makes it perfectly suited for women interested in entering the labor market
after a hiatus or those making a career switch.
Women considering a medical assistant degree, should look for a college like
Everest that offers flexible scheduling that helps them balance their studies,
work and family time, advises Lani Townsend, campus president at Everest
College in Reseda, Calif., the nationwide leader in training medical assistants.
[“At Everest, our students can earn
a medical assistant diploma in as
little as eight months, which makes
it perfectly designed for students
who have to balance parenting and
studying,” says Townsend.
In addition, medical assisting offers
a substantial degree of security,
an important consideration in
this economy. Medical assisting is
among the fastest growing careers
in the U.S. In fact, the Department
of Labor reports that the need for
medical assistants is expected to
grow 34 percent between 2008
and 2018, which is much greater than average job growth. Moreover, medical
assistants find employment in a wide range of medical facilities, and often find
medical assisting a great place to start their career in the allied health sector,
as it can often lead to other careers in health care.
“Hands-on training and education in pharmacology, laboratory procedure,
medical law, patient care and the health sciences make students capable of
filling a diverse range of duties in a health care facility,” says Delisa Griffin, a
medical assistant instructor at Everest Institute in Kendall, Fla.
However, Griffin recommends that whichever program you attend, you make
sure to pursue formal certification as a registered medical assistant (RMA)
through the Association of Medical Technologists (AMT) or a certified medical
assistant (CMA) through the American Association of Medical Assistants
(AAMA). Although getting formal certification is often not necessary to enter
the field, the U.S. Department of Labor recommends both formal coursework
and certification, as employers prefer to hire certified workers. Certification
will make you more competitive for top positions and will offer greater
security in the labor market.
“You want to be sure that a medical assistant program can help you obtain
the certification you need to make you more competitive in the job market,”
says Griffin. “At Everest, all of our medical assistant programs prepare students
to take the certification exam to become RMAs. And, depending on the
location, many of our campuses prepare students to take the certification
exam to become CMAs.”

FALL FIX UP
Cut Heating Costs With Simple Changes
insulation in your home’s attic less than adequate?
Next, consider these minor home improvement projects
to help reduce heat transfer and trim energy bills:
* Windows and doors are prime points for heat to escape
from your home. Before the weather turns cold, seal around
doors, windows, electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures.
Caulk, spray foam, weatherstripping and a free weekend
are all you need to accomplish this job, which can help you
realize significant energy savings and create a more comfortable environment inside your home this winter.
(ARA) - Saving money never goes out of style, especially when it comes to home utility bills. With a scorching
summer drawing to a close and last winter’s deep freeze
looming in their minds, many Americans are already looking for ways to curtail energy costs this winter.
In fact, more than 20 percent of Americans are concerned
about heating and energy costs and half believe it’s already difficult to afford their utility bills, according to a
survey by the Pew Research Center. They may have reason to worry; heating oil costs are expected to rise nearly
30 percent this year, the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy predicts.
Heat transfer - warm air from inside your home escaping
to the outdoors - is the main culprit that drives up winter
energy bills. Fortunately, a few simple home improvements - and even some decor changes - can help reduce
your home’s heating costs this winter. First, identify the
biggest energy leeches in your home. Are the doors
drafty? Do the windows rattle in a slight breeze? Is the
* Maximize your furnace’s energy efficiency by having
the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, including the ductwork, professionally cleaned. Be sure to
change air filters regularly.
* Install programmable thermostats if you don’t already
have them. If your home is already equipped with programmable thermostats, be sure to program the temperature to be lower during periods when you’ll be out of the
house or need less heat. For example, reduce the temperature during the day when everyone is out of the house at
work or school, or overnight when everyone is tucked in
bed under blankets and comforters.
* Place door sweeps on exterior doors and on basement
doors if you have an unfinished basement. These narrow
strips of vinyl that attach to the base of a door can help
reduce heat escape.
Some home decor changes can also help reduce energy
bills. Hardwood floors will feel warmer on bare feet when
covered by accent rugs in the winter. And cozy throws
draped over sofas and chairs make a design statement
while helping your home’s occupants stay snug and warm.
Installing the right kind of window shade is another tactic
that can reap significant savings, especially if you opt for
cellular shades. More energy efficient than regular shades,
cellular shades help to insulate windows by forming a
barrier that eliminates air flow. Levolor’s Accordia Cellular
shades can save as much as $180 a year on annual energy
bills, based on U.S. Department of Energy and Energy Star
standards. With an exclusive technology, Energy Shield,
a clear, additional layer of insulation hidden inside of the
cellular structure, Accordia is the most energy efficient cellular shade available and is the only one to increase energy efficiency on sheer and light filtering fabrics.
Levolor estimates that a 2,000-square-foot home with
300 feet of double pane windows could realize significant
heating and cooling cost reductions by installing Accordia shades. And you won’t have to sacrifice style to save
money on energy costs; the shades are available in a wide
range of colors and more than 200 fabrics, including exclusive textures like linen. Log on to www.levolor.com to
learn more about cellular shades.
Rearranging your furniture can also help insulate your
home. Place large items that no one sits on - such as bookcases or entertainment centers -- against outside walls.
Their extra bulk provides additional insulation against
drafts and the cooler temperature of outside walls. Reserve inside walls for seating; they are slightly warmer and
less likely to be drafty than outside walls.
With a few simple improvements and decor changes, you
can lower your home’s energy costs this winter without
sacrificing warmth or style.
Early Fall Grass Rejuvenation
2. Be sure to feed your grass. Use compost, an
organic or conventional lawn food - avoid allpurpose fertilizers labeled for gardening on your
grass. So-called “all-purpose” 10-10-10 fertilizer is
specifically designed for the nutritional needs of
flowers and vegetables and will deliver 10 times
more phosphorus than your lawn needs. Always use
fertilizers labeled for grass; and when doubt, ask the
experts at your local garden center or visit www.
Scotts.com.
(ARA) - As summer winds down, heat and drought
may have left your grass a little tired. Soccer, picnics
and chasing fireflies have likely taken a toll. Luckily,
because of cooler temperatures and an increase in
precipitation, fall is the best time for lawn rescue.
To many homeowners, early fall yard work may
seem overwhelming, but a few 15 minute projects
are all it takes to revive the grass you enjoyed this
summer. With these simple tips, you can ensure an
inviting gathering space for next year.
1. Lush green grass doesn’t just feel good between
the toes, it also helps crowd out undesirables. Bare
and thin spots provide an opportunity for weeds to
get a foot-hold on your lawn, but repairing these
troubled areas is quick and easy. To fill in bare
patches in a smaller area, apply Scotts EZ Seed, an
all-in-one seeding mix, fertilizer and mulch, that
takes the guess work out of seeding, and visibly
shows when to water by lightening in color. For
those larger thinning areas, try “over-seeding” by
spreading a high quality grass seed over the entire
area. This thickens grass ravaged by heat, drought
and play. With a little watering or some help from
Mother Nature, your new grass will green quickly
this fall.
leaves recycle back into the soil providing food for
earthworms and soil microbes.
5. Keep your mower on the highest setting to
encourage root growth deep into the soil to lock
out weeds. Keep mowing your lawn to its summer
height (about 3 or more inches) until it stops
growing.
These steps can help give you the lawn you want to
relax on with family and friends. Come spring, your
grass will be in tip-top shape all thanks to a little
know-how this fall.
3. Well-fed grass isn’t just good-looking, but also
vigorous. Compared to undernourished grass, a
fed lawn needs less
water each year and
reduces noise, runoff and erosion. In
early fall, feeding is a
simple step, which can
be repeated about a
month to six weeks
later. Feeding grass with

Harrell’s Fire Prevention Week
Wearing fire hats and badges, Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten class at HCA visited the Harrell’s
Volunteer Fire Department during Fire Prevention Week. Kindergarten student Kennedy Thompson’s grandfather, Captain George McGill, led the children on a tour of the
firehouse. He also discussed fire safety rules and let each child sit inside of the fire truck.
During the visit, the Eastern NC Forestry Service was undergoing training and planning
at the fire department, so the kindergarteners also had the opportunity to walk through
and observe how the forestry service plans and trains for a forest fire.

Hot Home Helpers Under $100
Easy, affordable organization solutions
(ARA) - Feel like there’s never enough room in your home to
store everything? Chances are you don’t need more square
footage, you just need to get organized.
“Luckily, getting organized doesn’t have to be difficult or
expensive,” says Danny Lipford, home improvement expert
and host of “Today’s Homeowner.”“The key is to find products
that marry innovation and practicality to help make home
organization easy.”
While overhauling your whole home may seem intimidating,
start with the three rooms that tend to be the culprits of
chaos - the kitchen, bathroom and garage. Check out these
hot home helpers that will soon make your spaces more
organized and enjoyable, all at an affordable price.
In the kitchen, Savvy storage
FALL CERAMIC TILE TRENDS
(ARA) - Trendy and timeless, practical and whimsical, durable and beautiful
- when it comes to building materials, ceramic tile wins the heart of many
a designer and homeowner for its ability to offer the best of many worlds.
Technological advances and passionate designers have carried modern ceramic tile a long way from the basic, utilitarian looks of yesteryear. Home
renovation and building go on year-round, but as with any design statement,
each season brings new looks and trends. This autumn’s trends share a flair
When it’s time to put away leftovers, do you struggle to
find matching lids and bowls? Or do your plastic storage
containers seem to take over your entire storage space?
Update your mismatched wares with Smart Spin Storage
Containers. They offer three different storage sizes and a
holder keeps all the storage containers and universal-sized
lids organized in less than one square foot ($20).
Use unused space
Most bathrooms are equipped with accessories to keep
towels neat and at your fingertips, so why not use the same
organization tools in the kitchen? For less than $25, you can
add a towel bar, towel ring or robe hook, such as the Sage
or Reed collections at Bed Bath & Beyond, on the side of a
cabinet or an island to keep dish towels handy (and off the
floor), while adding a stylish look to the kitchen.
In the bathroom, Shower and storage
Space and storage are key concerns in bathroom design;
luckily, you can create up to 5 1/2 additional inches of elbow
room in the shower, while also adding extra hanging space
for daily essentials with the new Double Curved Shower Rod
from Moen ($59.99). Double Curved Shower Rods, available
at Bed Bath & Beyond, also offer visual appeal with a separate
rod for the decorative shower curtain - or provide easily
accessible space to hang your towels.
Simple space solution
No matter how organized your bathroom, it’s always tough
to find a place for the many daily necessities that we want at
our fingertips. Now, you can easily keep these items within
arm’s reach - yet off the vanity - with new Towel Bar Hooks
and Shower Rod Hooks from Moen ($10). These ingenious,
S-shaped hooks snap right onto your current towel bar or
shower rod to offer convenient access for a variety of items,
such as clothing, jewelry, towels, travel bags and more.
In the garage, Up and out
When looking for more storage space in the garage, don’t
forget to look up. Often overlooked, the overhead area is
ideal to suspend a variety of larger items, such as bikes, that
take up coveted floor space. For only a few dollars, you can
purchase large plastic-coated hooks that easily screw into
the ceiling joist and allow you to hang the bicycle upside
down by the tires. Or try a bike hoist ($39) that also suspends
the bike from the ceiling - but uses a pulley to make lifting
the bike easier.
Balls, bats and shovels, oh my
Unfortunately, most items stored in the garage are large and
irregularly shaped, making it difficult to neatly store them on
shelves. Specialized organization systems for sporting goods
and lawn equipment are available to confine anything from
bats and balls to shovels and rakes. The RacorPro X-Rack
Sports Equipment Organizer ($79.99) sets up quickly and
easily and the basket design will entice anyone to toss their
items in. Or, try the Funnel Fits Long Handle Tool Storage
System ($26) that snaps garden tools like shovels, rakes and
brooms onto the wall and out of the way.
With a few innovative, practical and affordable products,
your home will be more organized in no time. For more
information about Moen products, visit www.moen.com or

for boldness and innovation. The ceramic tile experts at Tile of Spain point to
the hot trends to watch in ceramic tile this fall:
Color
Strong saturated tones such as midnight blue, royal purple and deep chartreuse will join autumn’s traditional power hues of rich reds and burnt sienna.
Reds are especially dominant, appearing in every shade from fiery orangereds to deep merlot. These powerful colors are paired with linear and neutral
whites, creams and soft grays to provide a high-contrast punch. You’ll also
see high-contrast color schemes such as black and white. This fall’s tile collections also employ texture and geometry to underscore the contrast of light
and shadow. Softness and whimsy also have their place with gentle palettes
of sky blue, blushing orange, lilac and rose imparting optimism and childlike
peace of mind. Highly stylized interpretations of classic motifs and floral patterns add sophistication to traditional themes. The message of these lighter
looks seems to be “Don’t take life too seriously. Have a little fun with design.”
Pattern
Fall pattern trends include micro and macro patterns within a single tile,
larger-than-life designs that incorporate multiple tiles, and optical illusions.
Drawing on consumers’ continuing interest in the environment, tile makers
are presenting entire collections inspired by nature. You can find tiles that
mimic the texture of sand dunes, waves, tree bark and even rain. Just as 3D
has taken the movie scene by storm, tile makers are using the concept in fall
patterns. Mind-bending effects are updating classic and mod styles. Design-
ers are using dot-matrix screens, sometimes with metallic glazes, to twist the
eye.
Texture
Texture lends nuances of shade and tone through the play of light and shadow. Ceramic tiles have always been a good medium for textures. Digital technology has made it easy for tile makers to apply texture to a ceramic surface.
New possibilities have emerged, such as tiles that mimic the look of antique
distressed wood and bush-hammered or chiseled stone.
Size
It’s difficult to pin down a trend in size these days, since technology has made
it possible for manufacturers to produce tiles in a wide range of dimensions.
Tiles can be as minute as 5/8 by 5/8 inches, or as grand as 4 feet by 4 feet.
Some can even be made in 8-foot lengths. Slim tile continues to be an evolving technology gaining wider appreciation from homeowners and designers.
Slim tiles use fewer resources in every phase of the manufacturing process,
enhancing their appeal for eco-conscious consumers. This tile format also
works well for a range of new applications, from cabinetry veneer and furniture tops to acoustical panels in ceiling applications.
As manufacturers and designers continue to push innovation in technology
and style, ceramic tile will continue to appeal to homeowners and home
builders for its versatility, durability, beauty and eco-friendly qualities. You can

WEDDINGS
Weddings can be expensive, time-consuming and stressful to
plan. Few couples embroiled in the process haven’t thought about
running away to elope. It’s certainly spontaneous and can be costeffective. But is it for you?
Roughly 100,000 couples head to Las Vegas each year to say their
“I Dos.” Vegas is the self-proclaimed wedding capital of the world.
With a growing number of celebrities and high-profile individuals
running off to get hitched in low-key ceremonies, eloping can seem
quite enticing. Consider these pros and cons before you book your
airline tickets.
How to Say
It is customary for the bride- and groom-to-be to show their
gratitude to all of the people who will make their wedding
day special. Weddings today feature people who have roles
that go beyond the traditional, like interior decorators
and musical soloists. It’s important to remember to thank
Should You Elope?
Guide to Getting Hitched
Advantages
There are several advantages to eloping.The foremost reason is cost.
Couples who elope at City Hall or close by will pay a nominal fee for
their nuptials. A marriage license may only be around $50 or more,
and your other expenses will be wardrobe and transportation to
and from the event.
Eloping is also a viable idea for couples with family issues. If some
members of the family do not get along or if there are individuals
who don’t approve of the marriage, it can be easier to avoid the
drama of a wedding ceremony and reception and get married in
a small, simple ceremony ... alone. A bride who has lost her father
or mother may choose to forego the pomp and circumstance of
walking down the aisle for a simpler ceremony.
Another reason to elope is to avoid the stress and hassle of planning
the wedding. Some people are born organizers and planners.
Others get overwhelmed just deciding on what to eat for dinner.
When eloping, the only things couples must plan are the where,
when and how of the event. Fewer people involved means fewer
hassles.
Disadvantages
Eloping does have its share of disadvantages, as well. Primarily it’s
experienced only by the bride and groom and perhaps a witness.
This means others won’t be around to share in this momentous
event. Some people who elope later regret the not having a more
traditional ceremony.
Chances are a few people will have hurt feelings if you choose to
elope and not include them in the wedding. Parents of the bride
and groom may feel left out. Remember, a wedding is a celebration
not just for the bride and groom, but for their families as well.
If you’re running off to get married because a family member doesn’t
approve of your future spouse, you could permanently fracture the
relationship this person will have with the family.
If You Decide to Elope, Do it With Style
If you’ve assessed the pros and cons and have decided to elope,
consider these pointers.
* Research the marriage requirements in the place where you have
decided to marry. Some foreign locales require a layover period
of a few days to a week before filling out the marriage papers and
getting married.
* Choose a location that has meaning for you. Don’t pick a place
simply because of popularity.
* Elope, but still invite a few people to witness the event. One or two
close friends, your parents or siblings can stand in as witnesses at the
ceremony.
* If you choose to do it as a duo, hire a photographer to take pictures
of the ceremony and mail out an announcement to your family and
friends.
* Host a reception for close family and friends so they can celebrate
the betrothal. It doesn’t have to be a lavish affair. A cocktail party or
barbecue is adequate.
* If you elope in secrecy, don’t count on lavish wedding gifts.
* Put the money you would have spent on a wedding toward the
down payment on a house. Get married in the backyard or living
room of your new place and have a wedding/house-warming party.
everyone who contributes to the celebration.
Thank-you gifts should be something thoughtful and
enduring. Avoid fad or gag gifts. These gifts should be
presented at a pre-wedding occasion. It’s customarily done
at the rehearsal dinner.
Crafting personalized remarks is a nice way to call attention
to the unique tasks of each wedding participant. Don’t
simply pass the gifts out in one fell swoop. This way the gift
will have more meaning through a personal message.
Don’t let thank-you gifts be forgotten. Start thinking of gift
ideas early on and plan for any extra time for engraving or
other personalization.
Groomsmen
When selecting gifts for groomsmen, think about a gift they
would like but probably wouldn’t buy themselves. This can
be cuff links, a fine watch, money clip, or a high-quality
wallet. Feel free to splurge a little more on the best man.
Bridesmaids
Traditional gifts for bridesmaids are different types of
jewelry, monogrammed stationery, a spa treatment, or
another pampering session. As you have with the best man,
feel free to bestow a little more thanks on the maid of honor
with a more lavish gift. Younger bridal party members can
get a similar gift, but one in scale with their ages.
Clergy
Many couples choose to make a financial donation to their
house of worship. Additional tipping or monetary gifts for
musicians, altar boys/girls, etc. can also be a thoughtful
gesture. A donation toward an officiates vestments may also
be appreciated.
Parents of the Bride and Groom
The couple may choose to bestow a gift on their parents,
which can be especially meaningful if the parents are taking
care of the financial responsibility of the wedding. Jewelry
or fine gifts in similar scope to that of the bridal party are
good ideas. Consider engraved picture frames that can house
a wedding portrait down the road.
Others
Readers, soloists, ushers, etc. can be given a small token of
your appreciation, like a gift card or a personalized memento.

BUSINESS
Five Steps Toward Recovery
For Small Business Owners
(ARA) - Small business owners have been hearing about the economic
recovery for months. Yet for many entrepreneurs, the improving
macro-economic data has yet to reveal itself in their daily lives and
businesses - and many are wondering when they’ll see it in their corner
of the economy.
Nonetheless, as a small business owner you can take steps to prepare
for improving conditions and ensure your business recovers quickly.
“Small business owners are essential players in the economy’s overall
recovery,” says Raj Seshadri, head of small business banking at Citibank.
“Fortunately, there is a lot that they can do to help their own businesses
recover sooner, and to be poised to take advantage of emerging
opportunities as the economy improves.”
Seshadri offers five tips for small business owners looking to take
recovery into their own hands:
1. Keep track of all funds that come into or go out of your business
on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. “It’s surprising how much value
business owners find when they focus on their expenditures and
revenues,” Seshadri says. Tracking expenses, sales, inventory and
revenue is vital to good cash flow management and helps you grow
your business. Knowing how much your business spends and how
much it brings in each month gives you a true picture of just how well
the company is performing.
2. Make the most of marketing, from advertising and public relations
to special promotions, discounts and social media. When the economy
suffers, it’s more important than ever to continue marketing efforts,
experts say. And marketing isn’t always about spending money.
Consider connecting with referrals using low-cost channels and
experimenting in new areas - have your tried YouTube? Have you tried
Social Networking? If you cut back on marketing but your competitors
do not, you leave a void they can easily step into. Continuing marketing
efforts through a downturn can help ensure your business is frontof-mind when the economy improves and customers start spending
more money.
3. Find a great financial advisor. Many small business owners turn to their
accountants or their peers for advice. Some consult professionals, or
network at their local chamber of commerce. Others rely on their small
business banker. “Every community has advisors for small businesses,”
says Seshadri. “It’s important to find an experienced, qualified advisor
you can trust.”
4. Find a great bank that will work with you. Business banking is about
building relationships. A small business owner with a long-standing
relationship with a bank can take full advantage of its products and
services as well as bring a proven track record to help the bank make
credit decisions.
5. Stand out with customer service. It’s a complaint you hear from all
quarters these days - no one seems to care about customer service
anymore. Caring about customers and treating them with respect can
help ensure they keep coming back to your business. Teach employees
how to provide excellent customer service, and make sure you lead by
example. In addition to courteous, prompt service, consider showing
customers your appreciation through special promotions and loyalty
rewards programs.
“Small business owners don’t have to wait for the recovery to arrive;
they can create their own recovery by taking the right steps toward
improving their business operations,” Seshadri says.
