Burgaw resident Justin Rojas was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Veterans’ Student Loan Relief Fund (VSLRF) as part of a national effort to help student veterans dig out from under debt burdens they incurred as a result of misleading claims made by for-profit education companies. As a Marine and National Guard, Rojas saw two tours of duty in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 during some of the most dangerous days of the war. When he separated from the military, Rojas used his Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in game design at Full Sail University, a Florida-based for-profit college. When he enrolled, Full Sail advisors misled Rojas into believing that his GI Bill benefits would cover the full cost of his tuition, which was approximately $56,000. They also promised to help him find a job in his field when he graduated. However, with only a few months left to finish his degree, it was apparent that he was $7,600 short and would need a loan to finish. What is more, although Rojas was class Valedictorian, he has not been able to find a job in his field a year after his graduation. “These young men and women have dearly earned the opportunity to attend college or career training programs. The Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Montgomery GI Bill before it are our country’s most important tools for helping Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans obtain the American dream,” said Matthew Boulay, Executive Director, Veterans’ Student Loan Relief Fund, and a veteran himself. “However, some for-profit schools are defrauding veterans, using

Pender County Board of Education Chairman Karen Rouse contacted the Post & Voice on July 2 to say the story on the Penderlea School published that day was incorrect. The reported 4-1 vote on the resolution passed at the June 29 meeting was incorrect, since she did not vote as board chairman. It was a 3-1 vote with Tom Roper, Katherine Herring and Kenneth Lanier voting for the resolution and Brad George voting no. Unlike the Pender County Commissioners, the chairman of the School Board does not vote. Rouse went on to say had she been able to vote, she would have voted against the school bond resolution, which in part, kept the Penderlea School as a K-8 school.

misleading and aggressive marketing and recruiting tactics, while providing an inadequate education. The Veterans’ Student Loan Relief Fund is helping veterans and their families get back on their feet financially.” Many for-profit colleges use hard-sell tactics that catch returning veterans and activeduty military unaware of the high cost and low success rates of these institutions. Largely financed by taxpayer-funded scholarship and loan pro-
grams, for-profit institutions charge exorbitant tuitions and are rife with hidden fees, yet their dropout rates and dismal student outcomes are dramatically high. They sell empty promises of a high quality education and “guaranteed” jobs to lure veterans into enrolling, signing long-term contracts that ultimately exhaust their GI Bill benefits and leave them empty handed – without a

Disc Decompression Therapy!
Dr. Joseph W. Davis, a Kennedy Certified Decompression practitioner, utilizes the Kennedy Neural-Flex Decompression System for the non-surgical treatment of spinal injuries and spinal pain. Decompression Therapy effectively relieves the pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, stenosis, posterior facet, sciatica, headaches, and other spinal related syndromes, by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning. Inversion therapy is also available for thoracic pain and symptoms. Spinal discs are avascular structures, meaning that they do not have an adequate blood supply like muscles in the body do. The lack of blood supply means that discs in the spine heal naturally at a very slow rate and current research states that spinal disc heal in 300-500 days without treatment. By employing Decompression Therapy, an osmotic interchange of fluid can be used to speed healing of the disc by up to 71% and heal that disc in less than 100 days. We also offer massage therapy to increase flexibility, decrease fibrotic adhesions, assist strengthening and stabilization of affected areas.
We stepped out for a moment.
Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions, typically 2-3 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. The extent and severity of each individual’s symptoms will determine the amount of sessions that will be necessary. Most patients experience relief in just 1-2 treatments!
We will return by 1:30.
