At the Well
At the center of the Village is a
deep well of life-giving water
where the townspeople meet.
As they draw water their
voices blend in the culture,
society and wisdom that they
share. Each month meet here
at the well to hear those voices.
A new voice is shared this
month.
As I was walking toward the
central gathering spot today, I
noticed that the group was
listening intently to a man that
I had not seen before. There
were no other side conversa-
tions, just this man answering
someone’s question. He seemed to be an authority
on some subject but it took a while for me to get
caught up on the topic. Apparently, he had been a
scientist at a university and was explaining some-
thing about food. As I got closer, it became clear
he was talking about our food system and how it is
affecting our health in bad ways. Someone then
asked why is this happening since our government
is supposed to be protecting us from bad things
getting into our food. His answer was very broad
and quite alarming to me.
The scientist explained that food processing is an
industry, meaning that they are in it to make
money. And since they are a very large industry,
they have the financial support to influence our
leaders to allow many things to happen that
should not. Of course many of us in our Village
have talked about our elected leaders before, how-
ever this scientist was possibly indicating that our
food might not be as healthy as our officials lead
us to believe. We’ve all heard that fast food may
not be healthy for our bodies but I always thought
that the food in the grocery stores was the good
stuff. I listened further. The food companies typi-
cally hire a food chemist that specializes in creating
‘chemically’ the tastes and desires that will hook
people so they keep buying those foods. And
those chemicals are not even food. They also work
on ways to make the processing of the foods less
costly so the sales of the food provide better prof-
its.
He began by using the soft drink beverages as an
example. Essentially everything in a soft drink is a
processed chemical. Although some of these
chemicals are made from natural sources, they are
still changed and no longer resembling a natural
ingredient. This is a very disturbing piece of in-
formation since the labels on foods and drinks can
often indicate that the product has something
natural in it. Therefore a soft drink does not pro-
vide our body with any useful nutrition, just

that need to be flushed out of
our bodies. Recently, some of
the soft drink companies began
National Brand Initiative
offering some products that no
longer contain the high fructose
corn syrup and have gone back
to sugar. So we need to realize
that both the sugar and the high
fructose corn syrup are highly
processed and not resembling a
natural ingredient. Often the
diet drinks are the most dan-
gerous since they have replaced
the sweetener with another
man-made chemical that tricks
the body. When the body gets
tricked by these chemicals, the
metabolism processes change
and the effects can go unnoticed
for a long time. We are mistak-
enly led to believe that the
fewer calories, the better the drink. Opps – they
didn’t tell us that the nutrition also went down!
At this point, the scientist asked the group a ques- offers girls," said Susan G. Ratcliff, Interim CEO of Girl
tion. How many of us know what is really in our
foods and how these ingredients change our bod-
ies? As expected, no one raised a hand. One per-
son commented that it is far too complicated to
understand what is happening to our food and so and take action to improve her community. "We con-
we expect the government to protect us.
Hmmmm….. are we right back where we started? ences that inspire her to achieve her dreams," Ratcliff

!Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), one of the most well-
known and well-loved organizations in the nation, is
revitalizing and reenergizing its brand to reach out to a
new generation of girls.After extensive research and
development, Girl Scouts has launched a brand cam-
paign designed to reacquaint the country with the iconic
organization and communicate the power girls have to
change the world through Girl Scouting. The branding,
in the works as part of the organization's comprehensive
transformation that began in 2004, is composed of a new
visual identity, which includes a distinctive trefoil mark,
revised color palette and refreshed logo. In addition, the
initiative also includes plans for a 360-degree marketing
program that taps the online, place-based and traditional
media. Research revealed that while many girls and par-
ents knew about Girl Scouts, they had a very limited
view. The new work is designed to let people know
about the new and exciting things girls do every day as
Girl Scouts. "The brand is refreshed and will bring girls'
and their parents' attention to the wonderful leadership
experiences and learning opportunities that Girl Scouts
Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont. The Girl Scout
Leadership Experience, which features a series of 15 out-
comes or benefits, helps every Girl Scout learn to dis-
cover her own values, connect with her peers and adults
tinue to give every girl access to life-changing experi-
said. "We're simply repositioning Girl Scouts with a mes-
sage that is relevant to girls and the lives they lead to-
day." The campaign, known by the tagline What Did You
Do Today?, is also key to boosting the number of girls
annually. "The campaign not only asks girls to consider
how they spend their time, but also our volunteers, who
give an incredible amount of time. We're asking girls,
their parents and volunteers to consider how they spend
their days, and what they can do to change their world,"
Ratcliff said. "A revitalized and energized brand is abso-
lutely essential for us and our future growth," said Kathy
Cloninger, Chief Executive Officer of GSUSA. "About
one out of every 10 girls participates in Girl Scouting,
and that's a tremendous number when you think about
it. But that also means that we have a great opportunity
to grow, even after almost 100 years.""We have literally
revamped our entire organization to appeal to that 90
percent of girls who aren’t benefiting from the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience. And with our new brand work,
we think we have the right message at the right time,"
Cloninger said.As part of the What Did You Do Today?
campaign, Girl Scouts also has developed Spanish-
language advertising to target the Hispanic market, one
of the fasting-growing girl populations in the
country.With this new campaign and the projected
growth in overall girl population in the United States,
Girl Scouts expects to see its membership increase over
the next few years. The campaign will also pave the way
for a major effort to gain exposure during the organiza-
tion's national centennial celebration in 2012.

Don't Worry, Be Prayerful!
There was a popular song called, "Don't
Worry, Be Happy." It had a catchy tune, but
it's advice was pretty empty. When you are
going through a tough time, being told "Be
Happy" isn't a lot of help! Philippians 4:6 is
the key verse that has much better advice:
"Don't Worry, Be Prayerful!"
"Don't be anxious about anything, but in
everything, present your requests before
God..." Phil 4:6
But do we really believe God means, "Any-
thing" and "Everything?" Or do we live as
though there are some exceptions to this
verse? I mean, God wasn't including the
blanks on our volunteer rosters at church,
was He? Or that leader at church we wish
would resign, or that parent that drives us
nuts or that kid who sucks up precious time

and energy? Really? Anything and Every-
thing?
Your dependence upon God is reflected
most clearly by the amount of time you
spend in prayer asking for His help and
support. If you don't pray, you are telling
God by your actions that you don't really
need His help. And if you worry, you insult
Him, for you are calling Him either late or a
failure.
When is the last time you were on your
knees? And I don't mean that figuratively.
Just something to think about as you head
into walk of life with needs and "impossi-
ble" things to accomplish.
Don't Worry, Be Prayerful!

The heritage is proud and strong and carries with it a

The festival explodes with the hopes and dreams of this
community - from a chamber of commerce which works
passionately to ensure its viability to children laughing
and adults devouring homemade ice cream and barbe-

since 1986, but the people remain the steadfast in
friendship and faith. Keep the tradition alive and enjoy
meeting friends you haven't seen since last year's festi-
val. Last year's festival had 230 vendors lining the
streets of Archdale with their wares. This year, the
Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce is expecting over
260 vendors who will be selling all types of food, home-
made crafts, artwork, raffle tickets, pottery, baskets and
more.

its steep steps leading to the main
entrance. Comments flourished like
“Look at these beautiful hardwood
floors – not like the oil-treated ones
we remember” or “What happened
to the Science Lab – it’s a storage
room!” The old auditorium with its
burgundy drapes was now the Media
Room. Our treasured desks with true-
love carvings were replaced by child
size desks. Picture-taking, ever-
present teasing and laughter filled the
old hallways as reminiscing and
story-telling began. Many a red
cheek was seen among the grey-
haired graduates as old memories
were retold. Afterwards the group
enjoyed real home cooking at a

Among the group included
teachers, builders, business

Tour Of Tables At Mount
Pleasant Baptist Church
The Acteens of Mt Pleasant Baptist Church of Staley/
Liberty plan to attend conference next summer in Or-
lando. Sue Garner came up w/the idea and was the
driving force from beginning to end. The funds raised
will help get the Acteens to Orlando for their trip.
Tickets where bought prior to the event for a great
meal on tables that words can not describe. Church
members took different tables to transform the tables
into a work of art that the Biltmore Estate in Asheville
would be jealous of. This was a class act from start to
finish. Just look at all the girls...white shirts and per-
sonal monogrammed aprons. This is like dining at a
five star restaurant. We will let the pictures finish
talking, for words will not do it justice. These are only
a few if the tables.

Equal Rights For Broadband
In Rural Areas
Let Your Voice Be Heard
Contact your Senator or Representative
U.S. House of Representatives
Dear Senator or
Representative!!!!
I am a board mem-
ber of Randolph
Telephone, a small,
rural telecommuni-
cations company
located in North
Carolina. We serve
approximately
13,000 customers
and provide a wide-
array of communica-
tions services includ-
ing local exchange,
toll, calling features
and most impor-
tantly, we are capa-
ble of providing
broadband service to 100% of our customer base. Being
a community-based communications provider, Ran-
dolph strives to provide high-quality, affordable service
to our customers—your constituents. Many small busi-
nesses in my community depend on access to afford-
able, quality broadband service to serve their custom-
ers, to remain competitive with businesses in more ur-
ban areas and from around the world, and to expand
their business to new markets and customers. Without
the deployment of broadband with robust speeds, I fear
our rural community will fall behind in terms of eco-
nomic development, educational opportunities, ad-
vances in health care, and quality of life. That’s why I
am extremely concerned with the FCC’s National
Broadband Plan. The plan will have serious negative
consequences for consumers living in rural America by
creating a digital divide. This divide will be created
because the plan calls for broadband speeds of 100
mbps to 100 million homes in urban areas while only
supporting 4 mbps in rural areas through the Connect
America Fund. This large disparity is unacceptable,
and I urge you to contact the FCC to tell them so. Qual-
ity broadband service is fundamental to sustaining and
bringing high-paying jobs to our rural communities,
and the FCC plan should not undercut the investment
and commitment Randolph has already made to deploy
broadband service to your constituents.The National
Broadband Plan also proposes to eliminate the compen-
sation paid to Randolph by other telecommunications
providers who use its network. This is a significant
revenue source for small telecommunications compa-
nies. The National Broadband Plan offers only the abil-
ity to increase the Subscriber Line Charge, which is al-
ready $6.50 per month, and to raise local rates to re-
cover the revenue shortfall. People in our rural area are
already struggling in this time of economic uncertainty
and cannot afford large increases in their telephone
bills. The uncertainty concerning the National Broad-
band Plan is stifling investment in rural areas. Compa-
nies such as Randolph cannot continue to invest in pro-
viding even better services if it has no hope of being
able to earn a return on that investment. Thank you for
your time and attention to this important matter, and I
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, [Your Name]

To learn about spoon jewelry, you have to talk to Lysa
Ricks, who is the artist behind this fast selling new items
at Awesome Finds. Lysa stated, “My fascination with
glass began many years ago when I learned the craft of
stained glass.! Since then, I have explored several areas
of the glass arts including mosaics, fused glass, glass

working in all these areas,!today!my!passion is!creating
glass and metal jewelry ranging from blown pendants
to recycling vintage silverware into unique jewelry.! A

be able to take an everyday utensil and transform it into
a beautiful work of art. What more amazing is, what
history does this old utensil hold. We will never know,
but you can create new history with it, by buying a

USED vs. LOVED
While a man was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and
scratched lines on the side of the car. In
anger, the man took the child's hand and
hit it many times; not realizing he was
using a wrench. At the hospital, the child
lost all his fingers due to multiple frac-
tures. When the child saw his
father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad
when will my fingers grow back?' The
man was so hurt and speechless; he went
back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions.......sitting
in front of that car he looked at the
scratches; the child had written 'LOVE
YOU DAD'.. The next day that man com-
mitted suicide. . . Anger and Love have no
limits..... Things are to be used and people
are to be loved, but the problem in today's
world is that, People are used and things
are loved... During this year, let's be care-
ful to keep this thought in mind: Things
are to be used, but People are to be loved
...Be yourself.... But remember actions and
words said in anger can never be taken
back!

!Randolph Hospital to Host
Heart Failure Seminar
The American Heart Association defines heart fail-
ure as a condition in which the heart is not pump-
ing as well as it should.! “Your body depends on the
heart’s pumping action to deliver oxygen- and
nutrient-rich blood to the body’s cells,” explains the
American Heart Association.! “When the cells are
nourished properly, the body can function nor-
mally.” !Without a fully functioning heart, which
provides your body’s cells with enough blood, eve-
ryday activities such as walking and carrying gro-
ceries can become a struggle. On Monday, Septem-
ber 27th, cardiologist Malkiat Dhatt, M.D. of Caro-
lina Cardiology Associates will be discussing the
risk factors, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of
congestive heart failure during his “Heart Failure
Epidemic” seminar at Randolph Hospital.! Partici-
pants will develop a better understanding of how
heart failure contributes to heart disease, which is
the leading cause of death in the United States ac-
cording to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention.“Heart failure is a growing epidemic
with 5 million Americans suffering from it, and
550,000 new cases every year,” said Dr. Malkiat
Dhatt. “An estimated 50 percent of patients with
heart failure will die within 5 years of diagnosis. As
the staggering number of people battling heart dis-
ease continues to increase, the most prudent strat-
egy to combat this epidemic is prevention,” stressed
Dhatt. Learn more about what you can do to pre-
vent and treat cardiovascular diseases at Dr. Dhatt’s
“Heart Failure Epidemic” seminar. The seminar will
be held at Randolph Hospital. To register or learn
