Kidd's Drive Inn - 50- Years Strong

Kidd's Drive Inn and Buster Kidd owner made its 50 year of business on Monday May 1st. It was supported by all the locals this day by them wearing special shirts the the waitress pulled together as a surprise. Even the owner, Buster Kidd, has as special work coat made with the logo on the back. In today's times it is hard to see a business make a mark this long. Before Buster owned the establishment it was known by many as Muzzie's Drive Inn. This is a place that young to the young of heart old timers make a regular meal at. Buster has done a great job keeping this establishment going throughout the years and it is still going strong. This is more than just a restaurant, it is a landmark of Liberty, it is a place of gatherings, its a staple of a great meal at a great price, it is a legend. As you can see from the picture , he has a great staff around him. Price As Right may have the Bob Barker Beauties, well they can not hold a candle to the Buster Kidd's Beauties.  One thing that make this place so great, that most of the times before you can sit down, they staff already have your drink sitting there waiting for you. Now that is more than just a service.  The best way to share this great place is to  share some of the comments of the day I have passed on comments made from the community.  Tom Meacham local realtor shared, "TODAY is 50th anniversary of Kidd's Drive in!!!....everyone who has purchased an "underage" beer, had a combo dog, told a big lie, or remember Beef Allred or had indigestion there should wish Buster a Happy Anniversary.....and go get a hamburger steak plate with grilled onions tonight....I just enjoyed a replica of my very first meal , a scrambled egg & sausage on hamburger bun with heavy mustard and Texas Pete....(first meal did not include a beer though)....LONG LIVE KIDD'S DRIVE IN!!!" Sandy Bryant shared, "Best place n liberty to eat..we moved to Texas for a while and the food here doesn't come close to Buster's food..we sure miss you Kidd's Drive Inn."  Lisa Brewer shared, " Happy Anniversary Buster, me and my brother and sister were raised up on Kidd’s cheese dogs and burgers and we still love it !!!!!" Crystal Eastwood shared, "I remember many a run up there when I was younger and working tobacco with my Uncle. The highlight of my day was to drive his old farm truck to pick up lunch. Best hotdogs EVER!!! They made all that hard and dirty work worth it!! Happy Anniversary!!! May God Bless you with many more!"  Debbie Doby shared, " Buster Kidd you are unique in the longevity of your stay! I am sure the drive inn holds many great memories and probably some sad times too! You have fed the mouths of many, but have been the social backbone of Liberty! I hear many tales about people who worked there or people who spent countless hours there for the need of human contact. Your business is not just a hamburger joint, you hold the heart of the town right there. I hope you have your first dollar as so many have told me and I hope you enjoy many more! So from all of us to little ole you THANKS! I think I'm a pretty good cook but Shane White told me one time I was almost as good as Buster Kidd! I guess you are my goal post, so let's flip the burgers and praise another day!" Edward Martin, "Congrats to buster the town would be lost without him running the social hot spot in Liberty ,also wondering if those great looking t-shirts are for sale." Matt Allred, " Fond memories even as a child. I remember we'd stop in after any visit to Loflin's for a visitation (yummy all the way burgers & dogs always made sad days better). Mom never allowed us as kids to go in so she'd honk the horn and they'd come take the order thru the car window. My brother also worked there for a while. When I die someone please put an all the way burger in my coffin before they close it." Judy York, " Always @ KIDD's after the kids finished any ball games or practice .. so loud at times couldn't hear yourself think but everyone had a great time...Like being at Home."

Summer Enrichment Redefines My Success will provide transitional support to rising sixth and seventh grade students at Southeastern Randolph Middle School through a positive summer week designed to create enthusiasm for the upcoming school year through community engagement. Rising sixth and seventh grade students will be invited to participate in a summer experience offering academic and community engagement infused with team-building events, transition activities, student choice, and project based learning. The program will be offered for four separate four-day weeks, following a similar structure each week. “Agriculture Monday” will be designed around neighboring Eastern Randolph High School’s award winning agriculture program. “Business Tuesday” will be held on the campus of Southeastern Randolph Middle School with a focus on community engagement and technology tools. “Health Sciences Wednesday” will be another off-site day, allowing exploration of many avenues to access health science fields. “Community Engagement Thursday” will offer students the unique opportunity to delve deeper in the area of their choice (agriculture, business, or health sciences), spending a day exploring their own community at a deeper level from a targeted perspective including three interactive stops throughout the day. The final day will culminate with presentations from students in a gallery walk format that will allow parents to observe the projects students completed throughout the week. The camp experience will run 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. Transportation to all activities during the day will be provided. Additionally, morning and afternoon door-to-door transportation will be provided for specific geographic zones throughout the four-week experience. Students will be provided a lunch and snack each day. The camp fee is $25 for the entire week. This fee is refundable upon successful completion of the entire week of camp. Scholarships are available upon request. Applications are available in the front o f fi c e a t S E R M S a n d o n l i n e a t www.serms.randolph.k12.nc.us.

This day the ground breaking ceremony was held for the new Liberty Veterans Memorial and Gardens that will be located between the Liberty Farmer Market and the Liberty Police department. The event had several spectators from locals,veterans and news media. The ceremony was ran by the president of the LVMG Cleve Caviness. Pastor Randy Hand of Freedom Family Church open in an invocation. The National Anthem was sung by Wendy Caviness and done an outstanding job. The Randolph County Color Guard posted the colors. This always is a delight to see. Several comments where made by some special guest which included, Filmore York (Mayor of Town Of Liberty), Rick Gunn (NC Senate Dist. 24), Davis Shore (Dept Commander of American Legion OF NC) and Allen McNeil (NC House District 78). Cleve Caviness asked all veterans to be recognized. The Ground Breaking was done by several of the Board of Directors of the LVMG and the special guest. The board of directors include, Cleve Caviness (President), Kathy Ibsen (Vice President), Terry Caviness (Sec/Treasurer), Cary McMasters, Ritchie York, Robin Caviness and Caylea Strickland. As it was stated this is just the start of many more things to come. Please be on the lookout for future fundraiser events so the veterans and their families can enjoy a memorial for years to come.

For All Ages

If you want to win friends and meet people, go to the funeral home. Now I know this sounds a bit macabre, but bear with me and it will all make sense, especially if you’ve been to a visitation at the funeral home lately.There is no other place in North Carolina, no other occasion going on in the state, where you can see so many old friends, acquaintances and long lost kinfolk. And you can meet new people in line at a visitation. This socializing at funeral homes has gone on as long as I can remember. When my grandmother died, I was appalled at how many of my cousins were running around playing like nothing had ever happened. At the time I thought you were supposed to be reverent, respectful or at least a little sad, at a visitation. Of course I was just a kid and didn’t know any better.You will notice that the older the deceased, the louder the crowd. If the death was sudden or if someone young dies, we are reverent. But if they are older, you’d think it was party time.We are all social animals. We all are in denial, too, about our mortality. So when we find ourselves in line, the grieving family and casket ahead of us, we do what comes naturally. We talk, we laugh, we joke, we tell about our surgeries. Talk about anything and anybody except the deceased. All this as we shake hands with the family. Toward the back of the line, things get worse.We can’t believe how long the line is. We got there ten minutes before the visitation started and people were already lined up outside. We wanted to go out and eat afterwards and it’s getting late. The lady in front of you is talking about her psoriasis. The guy behind you is talking about his cows. Someone wonders if the casket is open. Someone else comments on the flowers, or lack thereof. There’s a video going on somewhere. Wonder what’s that’s all about?The line is moving excruciatingly slow. Up ahead, someone is explaining his urinary tract infection to the grieving widow. Behind him, someone’s cell phone rings. A lady asks when the photo in the obituary was taken, 1949?This seems to be a trend, a photo of the deceased eighty-year-old when he was twenty. You look at the photo and think, “How sad she died so young”. Then you see that she was 94, which explains the pre-World War II hairdo. Lately I’ve seen some before and after shots. I like them better. They show that we all were actually young once. Someone almost always says, “I just saw him last week”, like if you saw him last week, he couldn’t be dead now. Someone else always wants to know how the family’s holding up. “As good as can be expected”. It’s always good to see everybody, but “not under these circumstances.”Some people come before the visitation starts and sign the register. Others come in during visitation and sign the register and leave. Some people come early and won’t leave until the family does. There are designated professional funeral-goers scattered throughout the funeral home. They are here and at every funeral, arriving early and staying late. They are the same ones you see entertaining the hardware clerk during a busy day, telling them about their bursitis. They need a life and find it among the dead. Some visitors are seen stuffing their suit pockets full of funeral home mints. The grandchildren of the deceased are getting some of the worst of it. Gray headed wrinkled cousins of the deceased are regaling them about kidney stones and complete strangers are trying to figure out whose children they are. Most are getting the pure life squeezed out of them by old ladies they don’t even know. Of course, if the casket is open, a few people are actually noticing the deceased. Most of them think the corpse looks, either better than ever, natural or asleep.Let me tell you right now, I don’t want to die looking good. I want to be on my last leg with nothing left. And I don’t want one of those smiling pictures in my obituary. I am not going to be happy about being there.I’d also like a slightly longer obituary than two paragraphs. I know the newspapers are charging now for anything longer than your name and age, but shouldn’t we say a little something about the deceased other than which funeral home he’s residing at?  I’m leaving a sock full of quarters in the bottom of the chest of drawers just so Sandra can afford to mention the squirrels as part of my survivors. There are some people who refuse to go to funeral homes. There are some who don’t know what to say or who may not have known the deceased very well. This is no excuse not to come anyway, talk to some people you haven’t seen in awhile, mingle around and perhaps tell about your gall bladder surgery. You might even find time to give your condolences to the family.                

Earth Visions will be holding the Journey to the Self class on Saturday morning 8am – noon. This is an opportunity to learn more about how we look at the world and by changing our perspectives we can change the way our life unfolds.

New Bakery In Downtown Liberty Had the great pleasure of meeting Jennifer Davis the owner of the new establishment last week. I also got to meet the other boss, her son Billy Davis, which shared with me he was the real boss, chuckle chuckle. Jennifer and her husband Bill Davis decided to take her passion and hobby of baking into a real job. The business name is "Sweet Treats by Jen" and it is located at 116 W Swannanoa Ave (Downtown) Liberty. They are open everyday of the week except on Sunday's. They are still fine tuning the hours for the business.  So are you wondering what all you can find at this great bakery. Well you can get things like, cookies, muffins, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes and more. To wash it down you have good cold milk, coffee, soft drinks and water. They also do custom birthday cookies to cakes. Want a special sheet cake or regular cake decorated, call them and give them a 24 hour notice.  I asked her son Billy his favorite and his eyes sparkled and said the home made cinnamon rolls, but he came back with reply, also the chocolate chip cookies.  So Jennifer gives he grandmother Linda Stanley from Snow Camp credit as she taught her the gift of good home cooked desserts. Jennifer herself is Snow Camp local and when she is not baking, she is working at Alamance Sheriff Office. So stop in and pick up some sweets while in the Liberty area.

President Robert Wilkie s h a r e d information about the Rotary Club and what it does worldwide as well as for our local community. Member Chip Butler gave us the history of Rotary as an international club as well as the history of our local Liberty Club. Mayor Phil York and our Town manager Roy Lynch gave us information about how the Liberty Farmers market came to be including how it was funded and who volunteered their time to help build the shelters. Dinner was cooked and served by the members of the Rotary Club which consisted of delicious hamburgers with all the trimmings, coleslaw, baked beans, chips, and even cookies for dessert. It was a great time learning about our community club and socializing with each other. We are so proud to have such a wonderful organization right here in liberty and are very excited to be able to work with them in upcoming events! A big thank you to all of the Liberty Rotary Club members for all of their hard work to make such a wonderful Business After Hours for the Liberty Chamber.

Ramseur Community Ed and Erik Christenbury Could Probably Move Mountains When the Patterson Cottage Museum committee got an offer of a millstone from the site of the old Garner Gristmill on Sandy Creek, they were told they’d have to find a way to move it.    “We never thought of anyone else,” said chairman Warren Dixon. “Chrisco Machinery was our first and only thought. Ed and Erik Christenbury routinely move furniture machinery weighing tens of thousands of pounds. What would a millstone be to them?” Or, maybe two millstones. Jeanie Eastman, of Pinehurst, whose great-great grandfather Frank Garner ran the mill in the early 1900’s, owns the land today and offered the millstone to the Patterson Cottage in remembrance of the Garner family. Ruth Garner Brower, of Liberty, is a first cousin and remembers living there as a child. The last mill on the site was owned by the Garner family. Frank Garner purchased the mill in 1905 from Peter Freeman. When Garner was murdered in 1915, his son Larrance took over the mill. The dam, now breached, the mill race, part of the mill foundation and the 1890’s house, mostly fallen in, are all that remain.   The tract was first owned by Thomas Hinshaw, born in Ireland in 1757, who, according to local lore, had a tub mill on the site. A tub mill was a simple operation similar to a turbine, ground grain very slowly and would have served a single family or two. When Thomas Hinshaw died in 1825, his son Enoch inherited the mill. Sometime before the Civil War he sold the land to Abner Coltrane a wealthy landowner with at least 21 slaves.  Abner Coltrane built the mill and it’s his dam, mill race and foundation that remain today. In 1862 he sold what he called the “Black Hawk” Mill to Peter Freeman. Dixon and Ed Christenbury toured the mill site on Sandy Creek along with county historian Mac Whatley. Ed looked over the area a half mile off the road in the woods and assured everyone that he and his son Erik could retrieve the millstone for the Patterson Cottage. Everyone agreed that the mill site, with a mill race over 725 feet long, was one of the more interesting ones they’d ever seen. When Jeanie Eastman got word that Ed and Erik were going to move the millstone for the Patterson Cottage, she asked that they retrieve another stone, this one for her. The millstone that Eastman wanted had been pushed under the porch of the old house and used as a door step. The Patterson Cottage stone was farther down the hill in the woods at the mill foundation. The Christenburys agreed and in early April they took Erik’s tractor across Sandy Creek and as close to the house as they could get in the woods. With Warren Dixon snapping pictures and admittedly trying to stay out of the way, they cut their way in through the woods with their chainsaw to the front of the house. The millstone was lodged under the front porch between two trees, both of which had grown around the stone. After working with the tractor and trying to pry the stone out with no success, Ed and Erik decided they would have to cut down one of the trees. But the front of the house, all that was left standing, was leaning against the tree. Erik finally pushed the front of the house back off the tree with the front end loader of his Kubota tractor. Then the two cut down the tree and pushed it out of the way of the house. The stone was still lodged under the porch which didn’t seem to be as rotten as the rest of the house. But after two hours, the Christenbury’s tractor had lifted the stone out and the two were easing the tractor backwards down the hill, over the creek and back up a steep hill to their truck, over a quarter of a mile away. Coming back for the Patterson Cottage stone, Ed and Erik once again had to cut their way through the woods, this time to the mill foundation. This millstone is a buhr stone, a unique stone that historically was made in France. It consists of sixteen pieces of stone, each shaped differently and of different thicknesses. The stones all fit together to make a round, 48 inch diameter stone and were held together with a metal band. Plaster of Paris helped hold the stones secure and filled in the back. The finer buhr stones were used to grind wheat; the solid stones we are more used to in this area were mainly used to grind corn. Warren and Ed carried the stones up the slope to Erik’s tractor where they were loaded and tied down. Not quite as extensive an operation as the first one. When the stones were unloaded at Chrisco Machinery, Ed weighed the larger stone that was under the porch of the house. It weighed 1300 pounds. “We owe a debt of gratitude to Jeanie Eastman for her donation of the millstone,” said Dixon. “Eventually, we’ll place the buhr stone at the Patterson Cottage in honor of her and the Garner family. And we owe Ed and Erik for their diligence, hard work and love of history. Without them, I’m sure those two millstones would still be in the woods, probably forever.” More Patterson Cottage Gifts.  Clint Lowe’s mother Karen was looking through some of Clint’s grandfather’s papers recently when she came across a large map of Liberty. The map, almost 2 X 3 feet, was labeled “This map was drawn by me from old map in files…of the Superior Court of Randolph County, April 1, 1939” and was signed “Lloyd Womble.” Clint posted the map on Facebook, drawing the attention of several members of the Patterson Cottage Committee. Clint was asked if the Patterson Cottage Museum could have a copy of the old map for its files. Instead, Clint generously donated the rare map in exchange for a photocopy of his own. Kevin Bowman graciously copied the map, reducing the copies to a manageable size. The map, thought to date from around 1918, shows one large “Depot Lot” between Depot Street and what is now Asheboro Street. Old 421, now Greensboro Street, did not exist. The street that runs past Liberty Elementary was known as Graham Street at the time. It was later named N. Fayetteville St. Part of what is now W. Dameron was Lilly St. when the map was made and N. Asheboro St. was known as Railroad St. Another gift to the Cottage was made by Helen Duncan Langley who donated a Boy Scout Eagle themed quilt to the museum. The beautiful quilt was made by her late sister Evelyn Duncan York in honor of Evelyn’s son James David York upon receiving his Eagle award in 1966. James David York passed away in 2005. Carol Wall of Awesome Finds donated the cookbook “Liberty’s Treasure of Personal Recipes” published by the Liberty Congregation Christian Church in 1952. Teresa Bruchon donated some greeting cards and other miscellaneous items once belonging to Mary York Saunders. Thanks to Clint, Karen,Kevin, Helen, Carol and Teresa, more of the history of the town has been preserved and can be enjoyed by all of Liberty’s citizens for years to come. So much of our history has been lost. The more we can save the more we can understand and appreciate those who have gone before us. The Patterson Cottage Museum will be open Saturday, May 20, from 11-2 and every third Saturday through the summer and fall. Stop by and see these and other Liberty treasures or call Warren Dixon at 336-622-2731 for a special tour.

Ramseur Community Families Save Big on Rising Food Costs Harmony Baptist Church of Ramseur has join forces with King Foods to bring quality food to families tables. After their program with One Harvest ended in December 2016 they reached out to King Foods. King Foods will be able to add North Carolina to their routes being in May 2017. Families are changing the way they shop, especially for groceries. With USDAidentified food deserts and rising food costs, King Foods has created an opportunity for families to purchase food for 40-60% less than they would pay at a local grocery store for similar items. Food is purchased in bulk and distributed across the United States with the help of local host sites. Each month a new menu is created with approximately 7 different box options of restaurant-quality food. The main Family Box comes with enough frozen meat and vegetables to last a family of four for about a week or a single person for a month. Convenience meals, bulk meat, kid’s boxes, fruit and holiday meal boxes are some of the specials that may be available each month, usually ranging from $24-$51. The food is not outdated or damaged. Anyone may purchase the food products at King Foods. There are no income requirements or order limits. Orders can be placed online at www.kingfoods.org with debit/credit card, by phone at 877-409-3663, or by visiting Harmony Baptist Church on Monday May 8th, 2017 5:30 – 6:30pm Customers then pick their order up from Harmony Baptist Church on Saturday May 20, 2017. Cash, checks money orders, and EBT are accepted at Harmony Baptist Church. Harmony Baptist Church is located at 873 NC Hwy 22 South Ramseur, N.C. 27316. You may call us at 336-362-2593 for more information. Contact your local host site to inquire about making a donation for a family in need or call 877-409-3663 to learn more about becoming a host site in your community.

So What Is Kings Food Ministry

As you can see Harmony Baptist is now promoting Kings Food Ministry. So lets see what the new food program is about and how it helps everyone have on their food dollars. Kings Ministry is a nonprofit organization founded on the principles of Jesus Christ. Their Mission is to partner with churches, companies and civic-minded non-profits to provide families and individuals with affordable food and to make a difference in your community, one food box at a time. The family food budget is one of the largest costs in a household. Our food boxes offer a unique solution to cutting household costs without sacrificing food quality. So what about the food?  Their high quality menu varies from month to month with a diverse range of food and meals. You may purchase as many units as you would like – be it one or ten – so the program can be tailored to your needs. The Smart Box is one of our offerings (pictured below) and is intended to feed a family of four for about a week. Our average food savings is between 40% and 60% of average grocery costs! For our King Foods $42 Smart Box: now compare this to Kroger @$88, Walmart @ $78 and Safeway @ $72.    So how does this work? 1. Each month a new menu is published online and given to partner host sites itemizing each box available for purchase. 2. Order with payment is made online or at the local host site by the designated monthly deadline. 3. Box orders are then delivered to the local host site for distribution to its customers on a designated day each month called distribution day. This occurs on one Friday night or Saturday morning each month. So who is eligible?  Everyone is eligible. King Foods affords families the opportunity to significantly reduce their grocery costs by purchasing restaurant quality food in bulk. Anyone can participate because there are no qualifications. What we like to say is "if you eat, you qualify!" So follow them at www.kingfoods.org to see deadlines to order and where to pick. Numerous locations.

COMMUNITY EVENT PUTS A TWIST ON THE EASTER EGG HUNT


Local church spearheads "Black Light Egg Hunt" in Siler City Siler City, NC: On Thursday, April 13th, Chatham Charter School's PTSA partnered with Freedom Family Church to put on a ‘Black Light Easter Egg Hunt’ on the school's campus located off of Hamp Stone Road. An estimated 1,000 people turned out for an evening of fun, food, and games as volunteers from the church and various student organizations manned carnival-style game stations, blow-up bounce houses, and an Easter Bunny Photo Booth. Inside the school gym an array of black lights surrounded the entire room, making the eggs and Easter-themed decorations (painted by CCS art students) glow brightly. This provided a unique and exciting egg hunt experience for the hundreds of kids in attendance. Event admission and all activities were free and the PTSA sold food items to raise money for future projects."Everything turned out even better than expected!" exclaimed Ben Suggs, an FFC pastor and one of the organizers of the event. "We wanted to show the spirit and meaning of Easter in a new way and let the community know that we love them. We hopefully communicated that loud and clear.” The organizers weren’t the only ones impressed, as many attendees expressed their excitement and graditude for this free community event. “My kids had so much fun and everyone here was so nice!” one parent commented on their way out. Another student volunteer noticed “We’ve never had anything like quite like this at our school, and I’ve been here since kindergarten!” It was the vision of the event to provide a kick-off to the Easter holiday in a way that would add to and not compete with others in the area. Pictures from the hunt and photo booth were posted on the church’s social media accounts for families to download and keep.Chatham Charter’s PTSA has been hard at work raising funds for the school’s bus fleet and will hold a BBQ fundraiser on Saturday, April 29th from 4-8pm at First Methodist Church (1101 W Raleigh St. in Siler City). Tickets are $8 each and can be purchased from any CCS student or at Pro-Kleen (601 E 3rd Street). About FFC: Freedom Family Church is a non-denominational congregation that began in Liberty in 2008. After years of growth and community involvement, the church expanded to Ramseur in 2016 with a group meeting at Ramseur Elementary School. FFC is currently planning to launch a Siler City location later in 2017. You can find out more at freedomfamilychurch.org or @ffcsilercity on Facebook and Instagram.
