MOM'S EMPTY CHAIR

Carolyn’s
A woman's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her
mother. When the minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed with her
head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside her bed. The min-
ister assumed that the woman had been informed of his visit. I guess you were
expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you?' said the mother. The minister told her 101 W Sw annanoa Ave— Downtown Liberty
his name and then remarked, 'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I
was going to show up..' 'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden woman. Would
you mind closing the door?' Puzzled, the minister shut the door. 'I have never

prayer, but it went right over my head.' I abandoned any attempt at prayer,' Mon To Sat 10am to 5:30pm
the old woman continued, ' until one day four years ago, my best friend said to
me, ' Prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus Here We accept MC,VISA, Amer ican Express
is what I suggest. 'Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair in front o f you,
and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I will

me right now.' 'So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of
hours every day. I'm careful

though. If my daughter saw
me talking to an empty
chair, she'd either have a
nervous breakdown or send
me off to the funny farm.' The
minister was deeply moved
by the story and encouraged
the old woman to continue on
the journey. Then he prayed
with her, anointed her with
oil, and returned to the
church. Two nights later the
daughter called to tell the minister that her mama had
died that afternoon. Did she die in peace?' he asked.
Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, she
called me over to her bedside, told me she loved me
and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the
store an hour later, I found her .. But there was some-
thing strange about her death Apparently, just before
Mom died, she leaned over and rested her head on the
chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?' The
minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, 'I wish we
could all go like that.'

Prayer is one of the best free gi fts we receiv e.

I asked God for water, He gave me an ocean.

I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden
I asked God for a friend, He gave me all of YOU...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Diffi cult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God
Painful moments, trust God
Every moment, thank God.

Loflin Funeral Home Of Liberty 19th Annual Candlelight
Memorial Service Pulls Out All The Stops
Wow, 19 years of serving our area with professional services at the time
we need it the most. The loving and caring staff always has the right touch
to give. Well the giving does not stop at that time, for they continue to
give at the holidays when the times are the hardest for many families. On
Saturday November 21 at 6:00 pm they opened their doors to all the
families of the community that wanted to remember the great memories.
As you walked through the doors you where created by a warm smile. But
for staff is more than workers, they are local citizens that we live with on
a daily basis. The smiling staff member that we have shared joy, tears,
achievements and the list goes on. That is what sets Loflin Funeral Home
apart from the other businesses of their nature. As you passed in the en-
trance you received your candle for the service and made your way to the
Chapel that was transformed into one of the most festive rooms. Biltmore
Estate in Asheville could not hold a candle to the décor in the room. In the
front lobby was a beautiful Christmas that left you breath taken. As you
ventured into other areas of the building your eyes had to take a double
take. Tables lined up with an array of delectable food to touch anyones
taste buds. Then the prize
glory of the night, the light
from a near by light caught a
twinkle. I look to see what
could be twinkling so bright
and with glory. You see each
year Loflin Funeral Home
purchases just the right gift to
memorialize the passing of
loved ones. This years was
beautiful crafted glass angles
with name of the loved one
and their birth to passing dates
on this earth. A keepsake to
cherish for years and to certainly become a family heirloom. The program
for the night involved a welcome from Tyson Nixon, Manager, that thanked
all for coming. The night was filled with special music by Carla Ely, words
of hope and healing by Rev Eugene Dean. Tim Garrett and Tyson Nixon
read the names to those in attendance. The lighting of the candles were pre-
formed by Becky Canoy, Wynell Clapp, Larry Simmons, Jim Gailey and
Vicki Troxler. A simple note through out the night was , “ To Our Fami-
lies: Oh God, Bless our family and all its members and friends, bind us together by your love, Give us kindness
and patience to support each other, and wisdom in all we do. Let the gift of your peace
come into our hearts and remain with us. May we rejoice in your blessings for all our Great Christmas Gift
days, Amen” Others that helped from the funeral home was Sharon Fogleman,
Tony Foglman, Susan Foster and Hank Sanders. Thank you Loflin Funeral
Home for continuing your great service to our community.

 The Liberty Library—Something For Everyone
Just this past week, our local library shined out. Well let me start from the beginning. Me and
friend of mine from church is helping the local boy scouts get their computer merit badge. By the
way, these young men amaze me, own how much they new about computers from scratch. Well
on to the story. I got to the next to the
last class session and realized that I had
about 15 boyscouts that all needed to be
on a computer at the same time.
Yikees….we only have two laptops.
Well that is when I remembered all the
computers that the Liberty Library had.
Well with out hast I called our friendly
librarian and with a twinkle in her eye,
she said, It is done. She closed down the
computer section for one night to allow
all the boyscouts to work on their com-
Liberty, NC puter merit badge. Well also that night,
Ph 622-2056 Carol, another friendly face of the Li-
brary, was working (even though it
Ph 362-4856 looked more like having fun) with a
group of young elementary school age
kids. They were working on decorations for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day. Wow...I thought,
that looked so much like fun. You can see some of the children and their creative work in the
picture. That is when I realized, that library serves ages 1 to 99. From the story time for pre-
www.funatparadiselimo.com schoolers, to the arts and crafts for school agers, to computers for school homework to adults that
do not have internet at home, to all ages for books, movies, videos, and more. Well the list goes
on. Sometimes we forget about all the great resources we have around until we need it. I would

there with a door wide open and big old smile. See you next time at the Library.

bad business owners. Since I purchased Sunsations in 2004, we grew our salon from 200 tanners to more than 600 tanners. “Where Looking Good Is Understood”
Most customers have been seasonal and some have been fairly loyal unless of course a salon down the road runs a special
for $5.00 less. Never the less, Sunsations has remained loyal to its customers by constantly making investments to upgrade Winter Hours
or improve the quality of service. Sunsations, under my ownership, began in the Hardin’s Florist building on Asheboro Street.
After nine prosperous months, I invested the profits along with more than $25k to relocate the Salon to the shopping center Mon to Thu 10 to 8 / Fri 10 to 6 / Sat 9 to 1 / Closed Sunday
and installed two new Soltron Bronzer beds. Customers wanted newer equipment but nobody wanted to spend extra money _____________________________________________________
for nicer equipment and facilities. The following year I spent $52k more to install two larger upgrade beds and expand the November & December Specials
salon, yet again people complained that $10 more dollars per month for nicer equipment than any other salon in our area
was too high. I lowered the rates and then only the regular customers continued to come and the salon still couldn’t pay the TANNING
bills. I cut jobs, cut amenities, I stopped stocking quantities of product and still people came in wanting the packages lower or Monthly Unlimited Tanning $25
they wanted, “A Deal”.In an attempt to strengthen my buying power, I bought the Climax Salon. Within 5 months we were
closing Climax and consolidating everything to Liberty. I consolidated the Salons and the Video Store to one location and still Buy A Month And Receive 10 Visits Free For Future Use
after 60 days we couldn’t even pay the power bill. Customers still tanned, bills still came in but sales continued to drop. I Recommend A Friend That Joins And
made every effort to keep the salon open but without warning an electrical malfunction started a snowball effect that I just Receive Three Free Visits
couldn’t correct. On September 29th I locked the doors and with an extremely heavy heart, I walked away. I returned to the
store every day several times a day to check for notes on the door. I have called every customer as soon as I received the HAIR
notes. I have not avoided a single call from any customer yet I have gotten a few calls from certain individuals stating I have Bring In Coupon And Receive $5 Off Perm Or Color
taken advantage of them and all of my customers. Some of these remarks have been very hurtful and disturbing to my-self
and my family. The sad part is that the majority of these comments have come from the same people that always wanted
something for nothing or a better “Deal”. I saw every customer not as a
client but a friend. I tried to treat every customer, client or friend equally,
fairly and with respect and in return, I have been labeled a swindler.
Maybe these people could tell that to the families of the people that I
helped pay for their funerals in Liberty because they were unable to
afford a proper burial. Tell that to the members of the Freedom Family
Church where I donated the bouncy unit for the community Fall Festival.
Tell it to the Liberty Elementary Football Team that I donated money to
help pay for uniforms. Tell it to the Christmas Parade Comity to whom I
donated candy for the parade. Tell it to the local church I donated Christ-
mas wreaths for their church doors and the five needy families I donated
Christmas trees in 2007 so they could enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Tell
it to Eastern Randolph High School and Providence Grove High School
Band Boosters from whom I buy ads or donated money or U-Haul trucks
for different functions to benefit their schools. Tell it to the people I fi-
nanced cars to and when they couldn’t make the payment I signed the
title over because I understood where they came from. As for the
“Salon”, tell it to the 80 plus Climax customers I gave a free month of
tanning to come to Liberty and tan or a free $30 bottle of lotion after we
closed the Climax location. Maybe if everyone took into account the
history of a person or the circumstances leading up to a person’s current
situation, we as people would be more understanding or show a little
consideration for an attempt to correct a problem. Unfortunately we live
in a society of gossip, self concern and individualism. Last but not least
I leave you all with not doubt of my plans. I hope to reopen the salon and
video store in December. I have no intention on refunding any customer
for tanning time purchased. If I do it for one I should do it for all and I am
not in a financial position to do this. I will however, honor any unused time a customer had effective September 29, 2009 and
forward. I will most likely provide those people with extra time but that amount of time has not yet been determined. I am very
sorry for any inconvenience this has caused any customer, client or friend. To those that have spread such terrible rumors, I

Updates From Randolph County Economic Development
Economic Outlook Cloudy
Randolph County’s economy is weathering an historic economic storm. Unem-
ployment remains at record levels at 11% down from over 12% earlier this year.
Businesses face great challenges ranging from loss of customers, credit constraints,
to declining revenue. Most are fighting hard to diversify product and service, find
new markets, and to right size their operations to a new economic reality. Some are
seeking new partners through mergers and acquisitions and others are finding new
opportunities amid the changing economic conditions.
The job picture remains challenging. A scan of 187 local industrial companies from
2007 to 2009 shows aggregate job loss of 5,349. The list includes companies across
Randolph County, both small and large. Most of the job loss results from incre-
mental downsizing along with 12 businesses closing or relocating operations.
Looking only at jobs, 15% of the companies have added new jobs, 21% show stable
employment, and 64% have reduced employment levels. Our conversations with
companies across all business sectors show revenue declines ranging from 10-40%
on average. On the positive side, we see innovation, investment in research & de-
velopment, and productivity enhancements through lean, safety and quality pro-
grams. Project activity has slowed for large projects but increased for small busi-
nesses and entrepreneurs. Business consolidation continues and Randolph County
often benefits as capacity is transferred to our existing industries.
In response to the current economic challenges, there are several new programs and
initiatives to help businesses. These programs in financing, energy, community
development, marketing and trade are highlighted in this newsletter. Contact the
EDC for more information or visit www.rcedc.com
Business Announcaments
The Town of Liberty was approved for the NC Small Town Main Street Program,
a program to provide technical assistance to small towns seeking to revitalize their
downtown districts. Liberty business owners and community leaders kicked off the
program this month to improve the physical environment while maintaining small
town charm.
North Carolina ranked #1 by Site Selection Magazine. North Carolina received
top ranking for the Best Business Climate in the US for the fifth year in a row and
eight of the last nine years. The "Top Business Climate" rankings are based on
quantitative and qualitative factors that corporate site-seekers - those who help
companies expand or relocate - say they consider most important. Fifty percent of
the ranking comes from a survey of corporate site selection executives who were
asked to rank their top 10 states, and 50 percent is based on 4 measures of new
plant activity.

Local Family To Sell Wreaths, Trees at Tree Lighting
It is a family tradition for the Mortons to spend each Thanksgiving picking out Christmas
trees in the North Carolina mountains. Not just one or two for their own home, but about 70
or 80.
Dawn and Tommy Morton, along with their children Taylor, Ashley and Josh, have been
selling grade A Christmas trees and wreaths for several years and for the first time, they will
be at the Liberty Tree Lighting with some of those trees and wreaths. They are making a
special trip for the tree lighting trees to ensure they are extra fresh - they will be cut the Sat-
urday just before the event.
"The crisp fresh scent of the pine boughs just get you in the Christmas spirit. I couldn't imag-
ine spending the Thanksgiving holiday with my family any other way," said Dawn. "And,
because we are a small operation with low overhead, our prices are well below other area
Christmas tree lots. We take great pride in the freshness and quality of our trees. I handpick
each one."
They will be located on Swannanoa Avenue next to the old Brewer Agency building. 12-
inch wreaths are just $13, 6-7 foot trees are $35, and 7-8 foot trees are $45. If you are inter-
ested in a larger tree, place your order by Friday, December 3 by calling 672-1732.
A Wonderful Story Recently Crossed My Desk And Made Me Think
Nearly 70 years ago, a dad gave his little girl a toy monkey. She
named it “Jubilee.” Although friends believed the life like toy would
scare her, that gift shaped her life to the extent that she devoted her
entire life to study of primate family structures. Today, the toy still sits
on her dresser. That little girl grew up to be the famed primatologist
Jane Goodall. And to think it all started with that token on affection.
Isn’t that a great story? Let me share one thought of hers: “Every indi-
vidual makes a difference. We cannot live through a single day without making an impact on
the world around us. And we all have free choice– what sort of difference do we want to
make? Do we want to make the world around us a better place, or not?
For years, the joy of my life has been helping people. I have made nu-
merous friends through church, through the newspaper, through com-
munity service, through family and through coworkers. We are all hard-
working people whose lives impact others. Hopefully, we have also
made the world a little better. So with the upcoming Christmas holiday,
what can you do to impact the world around you?

then a school they named after professor
Charles Manly Wingate from Wake Forest Col-

In 1896 they renamed the town after the

school. During the Great Depression the son of the police chief in nearby
Monroe wanted to go to college but couldn’t afford the tuition. The president
of Wingate College told young Jesse Helms to come on, they could figure out
payment later. Helms never forgot this act and, in 1988, donated all his pa-
