HABITAT UPDATE
Liberty Home #3
Work began in earnest on Habitat
Home #3 in early March with the Vo-Tec Class
from Eastern Randolph High School laying the
block foundation and piers for the new home…a big thank you for these fine
young men and their Teacher.
The weeks of March 22 thru April 3 saw “our” wonderful group of
retired persons called Care-A-Vanners return to us once more and begin the
task of framing the new sturdy little home. These Christian men and women
have installed the bands and girders, sub flooring, exterior and interior walls,
roof trusses, roof decking, shingles, wall foam insulation, and windows and
doors….all in ten working days…we salute them and the small group of Lib-
erty and Asheboro Habitat volunteers that toiled alongside them.
Now, they have handed off the balance of the work to the local and
Asheboro Habitat workers, and YOUR ASSISTANCE is welcome! Whether
you have no experience or much knowledge in the building trade….we need
YOU to offer whatever level of help you can offer. Work will be ongoing
every Saturday, and the second and fourth Wednesdays each month. Just show
up at 8:30 AM on any of these days…safety gear and any tools you might need
are furnished along with lunch prepared by local churches, individuals and
businesses.
If you or your church group feels you can donate some time (or
money) this last Habitat home (for now) in Liberty, call Rodney Overcash at
336-953-2929. More later, Tom Meacham, local Habitat volunteer.

We are gratefully appreciative for their sacrifice of service and excellent per-
sonalities with the Committee members. One scripture to acknowledge their

gladness: come before his presence with singing. Psalm 100:2. Thank you
Julian United Methodist for your faithfulness.Anyone wishing to prepare and

around through the funeral home for a couple of hours. They watched a DVD of

died. But then Mick had a lot of best friends. His wife Helen said before the fu-

HIS PLACE Pulls In The Crowds

Bikes At Fall Show
Fall Show September 25th
Just a couple months ago, I covered the story of another great free
food and music event hosted by HIS Place Church that meets in the
meeting room at Ya’ll Come Back Church. The Church that is Pas-
tored by local Timmy Cheek and his congregation pulled together
another great night of food, fun and fellowship. The best part it was
all free. Over 200 people visited this night on March 27. The menu
was chicken tenders that in my own personal opinion, put Chick-
Fil-A to shame. The congregation provided home cooked food of
all liking, but the best was the dessert table. This church really
knows how to put on a spread. Then the music, wow, that is the
only way I know how to describe it. The spirit was defiantly in this
place that night. Well if you missed
this great event in January and again Pictured are two of the many groups that preformed
in March, mark your calendars. HIS
Place has worked with town and have
permits to put on a huge block party,
June 12 (Saturday) with a rain date of
June 19. From music, food, children
fun area , wow so much to list. Keep
an eye out for flyers as you see all the
activities slated. Pastor Timmy Cheek
told me, “We are a real church for real
people in real times. We just want to
show the love of God to the commu-
nity and spread his Truth.” See you
there!!!

Calling All Kids Cell Phone Recycling Contest Winner
Announced - 761 Phones Collected by 10 Teams
Randolph Telephone announced Liberty Elementary as the Grand Prize
Winner for collecting a total of 207 cell phones during the Calling All Kids
Cell Phone Recycling Contest. Liberty’s 2nd Grade team will be awarded
a $500 educational grant, a pizza party for the entire team, and a Zoo To You Keeper in the Classroom Pro-
gram during the first week of June. New Market Elementary will receive the 2nd Place prize of $250 for col-
lecting 135 cell phones, and South Asheboro Middle School will be awarded $150 for coming in 3rd by collect-
ing 95 cell phones. Randolph Telephone partnered with the North
Carolina Zoo and 107.5 KZL to bring the Calling All Kids Cell Phone
Recycling Contest for the first time. “Our ten participating teams were
able to collect and recycle 761 phones, 152 batteries, 107 car charg-
ers, 398 AC adapters, and a variety of accessories. Thanks to these
dedicated students, teachers, and parents, these items will stay out of
our landfills and
community water
sources,” said
Randolph Tele-
phone General
Manager, Frankie Cagle. To continue to encourage local
residents to recycle their cell phones, Randolph Tele-
phone is waiving the Activation Fee (a $35 value) on any
new cell phone plan when you donate a phone in April.
Randolph Telephone collects cell phones at their three
locations, as well as the two bins located at the North
Carolina Zoo, and invites everyone to drop off your old
cell phones, chargers, batteries, and accessories any
time throughout the year.
Boy Scouts
Merit Badge College went well this past weekend; 8 Scouts attended. They also had a good turn out for the
construction of their Camporee signal tower project. The boys are getting better at organizing and working
together. As was requested, the parents who attended Merit Badge College held a meeting to address sev-
eral issues. Jerry Coble, Acting Committee Chair presided. Bogie, Allen, Mike, and Eddie were in atten-
dance. Using this time the group worked on their Troop Committee positions. The Troop has worked with
a loosely run committee for some time and see a need to select a new Scout Master and it was decided to
firm up titled positions on their Committee. Positions were assigned and agreed to but they still need sev-
eral committee positions filled. Please consider a more active involvement by volunteering in the Troop
Committee. All parents are welcome and the more people involved in the Committee the better their Troop
will function. They also discussed crucial upcoming events including summer camp and their golf
tournament. The issue of Summer Camp continues to evolve. After taking into consideration many discus-
sions with parents and troop leaders and a review of funds, it was agreed that troop funds would pay for
Summer Camp for any and all boys who would like to attend. Please encourage your son(s) to participate
the week of July 11-17th at Camp Durant. This will be an excellent opportunity for all of our young men to
work on advancements and merit badges. Another parents meeting will be scheduled to discuss any and all
items in full. If you have any comments or suggestion or would like to volunteer at any level please contact
Eddie Tuck or any other leader or Committee Member. Please continue to support our Troop and Troop
Committee.

Family history: having one child with autism increase risk
of having another.

things on their own time table. The following
are few guide lines to talk to your doctor about:
No babble or cooing by 12 months
No pointing or waving or other gestures by
12 months
No single words by age 16 months
No two-word phrases by 24 months
Loss of previously used words or social skills at any age

There is no cure but with diagnosis therapy can help your child
function at their best with this disorder. There have been some
studies on special diets, you will need to check with a registered
dietitian for more information. Also remember to take care of
yourself and other family members by: finding a team of trusted
professionals, seeking out other families with autistic children
for mutual support and learn about this disorder so you can your
child and family understand and plan for the future. Story by

driving wedges into friendships or kinships. Moni-

economically dependent. Strictly defining roles and

For a safe and full life. Leaving the attacks behind,
But not the pain she endured… That follows her
wherever she goes. Loneliness and fear ever her
companions Since the one she loves turned on her.
Other men and women Can never understand.
Blindly they go by, Not seeing the truth She
knows. Once she was blind too. Didn’t feel the
pain, Just the shame and guilt. Now the pain is ever
at her side No matter where she goes. He still hurts
her; His memories do the same. Society’s blind eye
Turned towards her And her life of pain. She’s a
part of the lost world Where few understand. She
suffers his attacks With no one else around. Then
she runs free: A new life to be found. But early on
she stumbles, And falls to the ground. Her confi-
dence dwindles, Again almost lost, And her pain
now isn’t visible But her soul knows its cost. Yet
the memories go with her wherever she goes. She
fought once to lose them; Was eager to survive
without fear and pain. But even then they were
there in her life With anxiety and nervousness—too
much to tame.
Like Laura our friend knows that if she survives,
there will be scars for life. But, with hope and
luck…there will be life. The women of our commu-
nity who acted as the Freedom Railroad for our
friend will be here for her in the days, months and
years to come. We sisters in this pain have all be-
come wiser, with new eyes of awareness toward the
violence that our culture encourages. Let us choose
not to be blind. Let us all commit to help one an-
other to end this inhuman
pain.
