FREE Seminar August 8th , 6-8pm. Liberty Town Hall

Selling Cars For Fun and Profit Topic: Trust Me – I’m A Car Salesman! High personnel turnover in the Automotive Sales profession is disheartening to Sales Professionals as well as to Dealers. One reason people don’t stay in the Car Business is they simply can’t afford to! Customers and Managers are confrontational and the Salesperson is always in the middle. By the time a new Sales Professional has learned their way around, their savings is depleted and they leave for a salaried job.

Annual Homecoming & Revival Services Sun Aug 7 - 11am Mon Aug 8 to Wed Aug 10 - 7pm St Stephen AME Church 705 S Kirkman St, Liberty Rev Milton Mattle, Pastor

How do some Automotive Sales professionals do so well? Tim Dannelly, seasoned Automotive Salesman and Sales Manager, believes customers are actually looking for that ‘insider’ in the Car Business and Managers are actually looking for that committed person who will take charge. Invest an evening on August 8th and learn some of the proven ways great Automotive Sales Professionals go about making a good living as they are building a loyal customer base. Find out why it’s important to sell with a plan and negotiate with confidence. Learn the source of perpetual leads. This Seminar is for Dealers and Automotive Sales Professionals who want to earn more money and have more fun!

To The Editor: I realize this isn't a crime but it will effect a local area that is heavily traveled, especially when school is in for the upcoming school year. This is at the intersection of Highway 22 New Salem/Wayne White Road and Randolph Church Road (near Climax). Countless wrecks happen here so after much study the D.O.T. will attempt to reduce the amount of wrecks with an all-way-stop. Please share to help spread the word!

For instance, Doris Headen and interested can call Cary McMaster at Lula Mae Brown provided us with 336-707-8177. They done this Raffle for Randolph High School yearbooks from 1954, ’57 and ’61 which we copied. We’d several years and it goes well. Okay never seen one.

Gwen Daye, associate pastor of the Love in Action Church of God of Prophecy, entertained the group. Coltrane said that he wasn’t named for Openings For several years after he was born. Local store owner Dan Teague dubbed him “Toot” when he was five 1 year olds and and the name stuck. 4-5 year olds.             Rev. Lucille Gilmer told of how her family didn’t have a car and at different times in her life, rode the train, buses and taxis, all available in Liberty. She remembered going to the movies when the Curtis Theater was across the street from its present location in the building now occupied by Liberty Beauty Shop.             “Going to the movies in the ‘40’s, the house was small,” she related. “We had to go up from outside up steps to the attic. There were three benches—just boards—three or four people could sit on one. We tried to go an hour early before the movie started to get a seat. And Roy Reitzel had a store 336-622-3033 where the Reitzel Center is now. You could get a hotdog for ten cents and a soda for five.” Call Us             Doris Headen told how her grandfather Whit Allison almost got himself shot during Liberty’s 304 W Swannanoa Ave, Liberty most famous bank robbery in 1945. Allison was the only customer in the Chatham Bank of Liberty when a gunman grabbed him and told  cashier Phoebe Beane “this is a stick-up.” The gunman ordered Allison to lie down on the floor but Allison, who was crippled, could not do it.             “That’s when he almost got shot,” said Mrs. Headen. The robber got away with $6,700 and never was apprehended. p             Mrs. Headen was also able to identify, with help from friends, two of four previously s H el u t e L unknown railroad workers in a 1920’s photograph that had long puzzled Patterson Cottage Yo ur With To committee members.             Helen Phelps Headen started school in a one-room school house within walking Back air H distance of her home in Staley. Students from the first through eighth grades were taught there. ho ol c S The next year she went to Liberty where the school had just burned and classes were taught in Cuts four Army barracks. She attended school in the barracks for four years until Randolph High was built.             Dixon said that since the Black History Day was held, several Liberty residents have left material for the Patterson Cottage in the Liberty Library. Some of his favorites, he said, were articles about the late A.J. Shoffner, a beloved local car salesman and member of the Royal Harmonizers.             “I know more stories are out there,” Dixon said. “Hopefully we can gather more of them in February when we have our next Black History Day.” *            *           *            *          *           *              *              *                *              *             Carol Gregg Desautels of Gainesville, FL, granddaughter of the late Dr. J.D.

Mega Site Update

Story By Randolph County Economic Development Corp

Development of the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite project remains a top priority for Randolph County and our regional partners, and significant strides have been made in recent months. The NC Railroad made an initial commitment to purchase 875 acres within the megasite footprint, and announced on June 21 an agreement to purchase an additional 100 acres which are currently under option by the GreensboroRandolph Megasite Foundation. With this purchase, the full 1,500-acre footprint will be under the ownership of three megasite partners: Randolph County, the NC Railroad, and the GreensboroRandolph Megasite Foundation. In response to months of hard work and reams of documentation presented by the megasite team, the site has reached a major milestone with designation as a KPMG Certified Site. KPMG Global Location and Expansion Services has a proven site assessment and rigorous certification process for identifying and selecting large industrial sites for high-impact projects. Critical success factors include workforce availability and quality, utility and transportation infrastructure, site availability, and developability, all of which are very important to minimize risk and ensure expedited time to market for companies. In addition to KPMG certification, megasite partners are also seeking certification by the State of North Carolina. The goal of certification is to offer verification to prospective clients that any potential barriers to development have been removed and that full build-out can be achieved within 18 months of the site being selected for development. Dual certification by both the KPMG and the State should lend additional credibility to the site and further raise its profile. With most major development and certification hurdles cleared, the megasite team is focused on crafting a comprehensive marketing strategy. In addition to the website (www.greensboro-randolphmegasite.com) which has been live since last September, a professional marketing firm is now assisting with product messaging, development of high quality marketing collateral, and implementation of final improvements to the website. Design and engineering work for utilities and transportation are in the works. The City of Greensboro is nearing the completion of its water and sewer infrastructure planning process which, when complete, will include engineered drawings, permitting, and right-of-way acquisition. Using NCDOT standards, the Greensboro- Randolph Mega Site Foundation is funding the design of an interchange on US Hwy 421 to ensure safe and appropriate highway access to the site. The Greensboro-Randolph Megasite Foundation has also agreed to provide up-front funding for Duke Energy’s engineering plan to provide sufficient power to the megasite. Duke Energy will reimburse these project costs when a client commits to locating on the site. As a part of the transmission line siting study process, a community open house will be held July 12 at Southeast Guilford High School’s gymnasium. The megasite team will provide information, answer questions, and receive feedback from area residents. The megasite is continuing to gain outside recognition as a first-class location with great potential to land a large- scale manufacturing facility.

Sara Michael Awarded Retiree Scholarship from RCC Foundation

Science Fair At Library Story By Belle Windham On July 20th, the Liberty Public Library hosted it's very first STEM science fair. There were several hands-on experiments for the kids to do, observe, hypothesize about and write about. The children's librarian, Samantha, explained all of the experiments to the children and parents and journals were handed out to all the kids. They made the rounds of all the different experiments, touched, smelled and tried everything. Once their journal was filled out they turned it in and received a certificate of completion, signed by a famous scientist. There were pictures and descriptions of the scientists in the back of the room. On that display were several books about science, experiments and scientists. After all the experiments were completed, the children had the chance to compete for a prize by building with cardboard squares. They had to build a structure that was made of only 12 squares and strong enough to stand up on it's own. The winner of the building contest was a 12 year old boy who built a 2 foot high tower.

Sara Kathleen Michael of Liberty has been awarded the Randolph Community C o l l e g e Foundation R e t i r e e Scholarship for the 2016-2017 s c h o o l y e a r. The scholarship was established to honor retired RCC faculty and staff members. Michael, a graduate of Providence Grove High School, plans to study nursing at RCC. She was chosen from among the 2016-2017 Presidential Scholar applicants for the $1,000 scholarship. At PGHS, Michael was a swimmer and tennis player. She was also a member of the Beta Club and was active in Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA). Michael is the daughter of Robert and Kathleen Michael of Liberty. The RCC Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College by building a strong relationship with the local community, acquiring and managing contributions, and funding activities that support the College. For information on contributing to the RCC Foundation, contact Lorie McCroskey, director of d e v e l o p m e n t , a t ( 3 3 6 ) 6 3 3 - 111 8 o r e m a i l llmccroskey@randolph.edu.

The experiments featured were; Can You Make Water Walk, What Is Magnetic?, Can You Make An Egg Bounce? and Homemade Lava Lamps. The children recorded their observations in their journals as they completed each experiment. All the experiments were done with household items and could easily be replicated at home. This first STEM fair was a huge success and made a big impact on the kids involved, encouraging them to be curious about science. The Liberty Library offers story time, a Culinary Kids program, craft time for adults and more. Come check something out at the library today!

Pathway To Freedom

Story By Belle Windham On July 6th I was lucky enough to attend the press night for Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre's production of Pathway To Freedom. When I arrived, I saw paved paths leading through the woods and rustic little cabins nestled in the greenery. It is such a beautiful setting, you feel like you are in a park, not on the way to see a play. They have a ticket booth, ice cream shop, several bathrooms and a concession stand. We got there early to see the pre-show as well. The actors came out and sang several songs and talked about the productions for the summer. There are two children's plays at the theater right now, with one showing of each left for August. On the 3rd, The Golden Apple: A Fairy Tale Mystery will be performed at 7pm. The Pirate Prince is on August 6th at 10am. Pathway To Freedom has just 3 more performances this season; August 4th, 5th and 6th at 8pm. Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for seniors, $8 for kids, $10 each for groups or 15+ and under 5 are free. Pathway to Freedom was a very moving historical drama about a troubled time in southern history. It is based on actual events in North Carolina during the time of the Underground Railroad. I was so impressed by the quality of the acting, the beautiful singing voices and touching musical numbers. Even the costumes were well done and interesting to see. My favorite character was Mama Harris, she had the most amazing voice and it echoed around the outdoor stage. The sets were all around us and looked so real, I got very into the story and I was emotionally invested in the characters. The ending was very poignant and I won't spoil it by revealing more. In 2017, The Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre will be bringing back the drama The Sword Of Peace. I will definitely be returning for one of the children's plays and next year for The Sword Of Peace. With so many talented individuals working on these projects, it's no wonder these plays turn out so well.

Too Many Hats ….A Little Help Story By Kevin Bowman We were so many hats these days, during the course of a week , have you ever thought of how many we where? .... Some days I feel the hats are stacked so high that trying to balance them all creates me to be anxious and exhausted and I feel they are all going to come toppling down. So I have been focusing on what GOD wants .... HE revealed to me all the hats must be put on top of ONE hat first and that is that HAT of a man (or women) of GOD. Sadly for us Christians that is sometimes the last hat we put on, but if we put that HAT on first, and seek HIM in ALL, the order gets back in check and HE will help us. .... Reminds Matthew 6 below..... So this week I will be focusing on each hat and what GOD wants, to continue to wear it, how to wear it, and so on.... Looking forward to being all that GOD wants me to be..... “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek fi r s t t h e k i n g d o m o f G o d a n d h i s righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:31-33

Liberty’s Treasure Hunters Story By Belle Windham Step on into Awesome Finds, where the owners are as interesting as the history of the items on the shelves. Carol and Duane Wall are the faces behind Liberty's own vintage & thrift boutique, Awesome Finds, at 129 W. Swannanoa Ave.  They are a husband and wife team of treasure hunters who are passionate about finding cool stuff and about living in the heart of North Carolina.  When you walk into the shop you will notice a lot of color and a wide variety of items.  From a vintage record player, a 1950's yellow fondue set, handmade local crafts and pottery, to my favorite piece in the store, a denim skirt that was actually worn at Woodstock!  But the true treasure is Mama Carol.  She is the most interesting and colorful person I have met in a long time.  Carol welcomes every visitor to her store and to our small town, with a big smile and if she finds out they are new to the Liberty area, she will give them recommendations on where to visit next, along with brochures and maps to help them find their way.  She did not grow up here but you would never guess it, she really knows a lot about this area and about Liberty.  She has a love for people and for the awesome items they entrust to her to sell at her store.  Carol and Duane search for treasures at estate sales and they know a lot of interesting people that pass through and bring them great stuff.   A local NC potter who lives on a mountain regularly visits to bring in new and interesting pieces, a local man makes rustic wooden walking sticks and there are also handmade wind chimes that are beautiful to behold.  Mama Carol loves to be involved in our community, she volunteers on committees, helps plan local events, stays up to date on all the Liberty news and she was the brains behind our new MayFest event.  So stop by Awesome Finds, have a chat with Carol and Duane, pick up a new treasure and support a local mom and pop shop.  You can also find copies of this paper in front of the store, day or night.

Randolph Cancer Center Offers Free Breast Cancer Screening For 2016, it is estimated that over 246,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be detected in the United States according to the American Cancer Society. Besides lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women in the United States. Luckily, the survival rate of breast cancer has been on a steady incline because women are detecting it earlier and thus able to receive treatments before the disease progresses. Because the threat of breast cancer is so prevalent among women over 40, Randolph Cancer Center and the Randolph Hospital Breast Center will offer free breast cancer screenings on Saturday, August 27th from 9 a.m. - Noon.The breast cancer screenings will serve un – and underinsured women who have gone at least one year without having an examination, women who are 35 years of age or older and women who do not have medical coverage for a mammogram, are encouraged to make an appointment for this free exam. Education materials will be provided. This exam does not include a mammogram. This exam will offer women an opportunity to catch the most common cancer in women before it’s too late. The American Cancer Society reports the 5-year relative survival rate for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer is close to 100%. For women with stage II breast cancer, the 5-year relative survival rate is about 93% and the 5-year relative survival rate for stage III breast cancers is about 72%.Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, please call Sherry Tate at Randolph Cancer Center at 336.328.4068.

Reclaiming the Mind By: Andy Clapp

I maintained a pulse. My heart continued its rhythmic pattern and my breathing never changed. For nearly forty-eight hours, I turned off the television and remarkably, I survived. For months, my pattern was fairly consistent. Come in the house. Turn on the television. Work on things with the noise of the television in the background. I watched as the election ramped up leading to the conventions and before long, I had absorbed all the nonsense but could not handle another word of it. I sat down and did what I should have been doing all along. I read. I submerged myself into the Bible and into a great Christian author, Alton Gansky, entertaining myself with his book Wounds. The Scripture I read answered some questions I had about life and Gansky’s book was more thought-provoking and entertaining than what I normally indulge myself with on television.

The next day, I felt like a new man. I was certain my IQ had risen at least ten points overnight. I had the radio on as I drove to work, tuning in to sports talk as I drove. Within minutes, the host began inserting his political views and sharing the political views of others in sports world. I turned the station and turned down the volume. Initially, I felt intense irritation as every area of our lives have become politicized, from music to movies, and now even sports. The aggravation of that moment subsided when reality set in, the reality that I could turn it off.

We often forget we control much of what we absorb. We have a choice to listen to the nonsense and deception of this age or to be still and listen for the still, small voice of God. The chatter of this age brings turmoil and despair but the voice of God instills the peace of the soul for which we yearn. As we study Scripture, Paul tells the Colossians, “So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on what is above, no on what is one earth.” (Colossians 3:1-2 HCSB) Paul insists that the people should seek what is above and set their minds on heaven. The more focused we are on heaven, the more our souls are filled with peace in the knowledge that what we are experiencing is temporary but the Lord is eternal. If I focus on heaven, I place priority on the things of God rather than the fleeting things of this world.

Our time is now to reclaim our minds. We have been drawn into the age of the thoughtless, accepting what we are told rather than seeking wisdom to make decisions. Wisdom comes only from God and can only be acquired when we spend our time hearing from Him. The power to silence the noise is one of the greatest powers we hold as humans. The power to renew the heart and the mind is one of the great powers of God. The nonsense of the age only clouds the mind, but God gives the clarity needed to navigate a darkened world. Taking the initiative to turn off the television and turn down the radio will give us the chance to think and a person who uses their mind is a much greater force than those who do not.

Liberty Veterans Memorial Update On behalf of the Liberty Veterans Memorial and Gardens 5K Color Walk/ Run 7/09/2016 Sub-Committee and Board of Directors thank you to all our sponsors and participants in our first 5K event. Thanks go out to the Randolph County Color Guard for posting the flags, Troi Coolidge Nance for her grand performance of the National Anthem, Pastor Randy Hand of Freedom Family Church for our Invocation, and Cleve Caviness for serving as our MC. WE had a total 164 participants and it would appear everyone had a great time. This was our first 5K fundraiser and based on comments from our participants there will be many more to follow. Our previous fundraiser was a Sagebrush Steak Dinner held on May 7th, 2016. That event was co-sponsored by JB Griffith III of Modern Woodman Financial providing a matching grant up to $2,500. We had a net profit of $2,959.91 from sponsors and ticket sales allowing LVMG to receive the maximum amount of JB's grant bringing the fundraiser total to $5,459.91 To save the best news for last our NC Senator Rick Gunn has been a strong supporter of our efforts to raise the $100,000 needed to build a Veterans Memorial in Liberty. Rick had the opportunity in this years budget to provide funds to a program he feels worthy of a contribution from the State of North Carolina. Of all the many organizations Rick had to pick from, Rick chose the Liberty Veterans Memorial and Gardens to receive a contribution of $25,000 from the state of North Carolina. Many, many, many thanks go to NC Senator Rick Gunn for his loyalty and friendship to our Veterans and the Town of Liberty. WE have always been able to count on NC Senator Rick Gunn. With these fundraisers and Rick's contribution from the State of NC we will be over 75% of reaching our goal. We plan to keep digging until our goal is reached and this memorial is built for our Veterans. Please keep supporting our mission through fundraising and contributions. Anyone can sponsor a Veteran's name to be engraved in our granite monuments for $150.00 per Veteran, $135.00 is tax deductible. LVMG is a Non-Profit 501 (c) (3) Public Charity 170 (v) (1) (A) (VI) Internal Revenue ID#46-1508291 Contributions are 100% Tax Deductible of No Goods or Services are provided for the Contribution. We do return tax receipts for contributions. Look on Facebook under the The Liberty Leader Newspaper for photos of our 5K Color Walk/Run 7/9/2016 compliments of Kevin Bowman.

Loflin Funeral Home Of Liberty Gives Back In So Many Ways

Story By Tabitha Schenkel On July 21, 2016 Loflin Funeral Home of Liberty held its annual Dignity Memorial LIFT program. LIFT™ is a social support program that helps widows and widowers adjust to the loss of their spouses. The program also gives members the opportunity to socialize with others who share similar feelings and experiences. Program activities may include luncheons, guest lectures, drawings and games. In addition to providing support for widowed individuals, the program also helps build relationships between widowed persons in our community. This encouraging program has more than 80 chapters throughout the country. Dignity Memorial providers began the program in support of widowed persons, who sometimes feel that loved ones do not understand what they are experiencing. Dignity Memorial LIFT provides a safe and upLIFTing environment with others who do understand! Please visit us to receive more information about our program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (336) 622-2256.

Great to see a local serving God‌ congratulations to Ritchie Carter for the pastors appreciation award. God needs all the soldiers HE can get. Keep up the great work .

Bring the Family Together for Meal Time Between work and s c h o o l - y e a r commitments, it can be difficult to carve out time to sit down at the table and enjoy a home-cooked dinner as a family, but it is well worth the effort. In addition to offering an opportunity to bond, eating together and engaging in conversation can have a deeper influence on children. Follow these tips to bring the family together and create a lasting tradition.

Mark the Calendar Create a monthly calendar that incorporates a few meals a week in which everyone can be present when there are no sports, activities or after-work functions. Research shows that children benefit when the family eats together at least three times a week. In fact, reported improvements range from healthy eating habits to improved literacy and verbal skills, according to the Family Dinner Project. If three dinners is a stretch for your busy family, consider morning brunches or evening desserts. Create a Family-Friendly Menu Integrate family favorites to create excitement around supper, such as a weekly pizza night. Make homemade crust as a team and craft personal pies incorporating fresh toppings, such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, zucchini and tomatoes. To further maximize time, create dishes on a weekend to freeze and thaw when ready. Try a simple tortilla soup that can be prepared in minutes using a high-performance blender, such as a Vitamix. Have Hands-on Meal Prep Incorporate the kids into every step of meal prep in a safe and easy way. Drop vegetables into the blender to chop for pizza or salad toppings, tortilla soup or even a Taco Tuesday fiesta. Then, allow kids to add these veggies to the recipe. Engage your children further by having them set timers and watch for meals to cook. As a final step, allow them to add spices and fresh herbs before setting dinner on the table. Fast and tasty family recipe ideas that you can create together can be found at Vitamix.com. Turn Off Electronics Make the table an electronic-free zone. Turn off cell phones and television shows to make room for face-to-face communication. Removing cell phones from the equation can positively influence the quality of conversation, while helping kids to gain a better understanding of social cues, facial expressions and changes in tone that lead to more fruitful interactions, according to a study by researchers at Virginia Tech. Unplugged conversations can help create memorable family moments. Think of the kitchen and the dinner table as family gathering places to help instill good habits -- from great communication skills to healthier eating. If you look at meals as more than just food, your family will reap the benefits.

RCC Foundation Announces 2016-17 Presidential Scholars Five outstanding Randolph County high school students have been chosen in a competitive process as Presidential Scholars at Randolph Community College for the 2016-2017 school year. Abigail Jordan Baynes of Asheboro, a home school graduate; Megan Esla Faulkner of Southwestern Randolph High School; Chasity Lou Hartke of Randleman High School; Alyssa Brook Hollady of Faith Christian School; and Morgan Rhae Kinney of Eastern Randolph High School will receive two-year RCC scholarships through the Presidential Scholars program funded by the Randolph Community College Foundation. High school students from public, private, and home schools throughout Randolph County were invited to apply for the scholarships. Students who met the preliminary requirements were invited to attend a Presidential Scholars Day at RCC on March 1, where they learned more about the College and were interviewed by a committee of faculty and staff members. Finalists were chosen and invited back for a second interview with RCC President Robert Shackleford Jr., who made the final choice of five recipients. Students’ academic records and extracurricular/community activities weighed heavily in the selection of recipients, as did the interviews. RCC Presidential Scholars receive a $2,500 scholarship for their first year of study ($1,250 for fall and $1,250 for spring) that is renewable for their second year of study. The students have the opportunity to participate in RCC’s prestigious Student Leadership Academy, serve as Ambassadors for the College, and meet regularly with President Shackleford. Abigail Baynes plans to study nursing at RCC with the ultimate goal of earning her B.S.N. She has already earned 18 college credit hours at RCC as a dual enrollment high school student and is an active volunteer with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Megan Faulkner plans to major in early childhood education and was a founding member of Reading Round Randolph. She is a Beta Club member and has been involved with the Richland Baptist Youth Group for 10 years. Chasity Hartke plans to begin her nursing career at RCC. She has served as a Student Government Association representative and also served as secretary for Randleman High School’s Health Occupations Students of America Club. Alyssa Hollady also plans to major in nursing. She has served as a volunteer for the Franklinville Community Christmas dinner since 2009 and has also been actively involved in community service projects at her school. Morgan Kinney plans to be a college transfer student at RCC with an intent to go into athletic training. She has been on the volleyball team for four years, involved with the Richland Baptist Youth Group for seven years and has also been on the Future Farmers of America floriculture team. The RCC Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College by building a strong relationship with the local community, acquiring and managing contributions, and funding activities that support the College.
