What can you do with your child on a humid and hot day that is both educational and fun? Play with water! That is just what Tues to Frid 6am to 2pm
Celebrate Liberty’s Children (CLC) did with children at Liberty’s July 4 th Festival. CLC set up a free early learning center in- Thank You To All The Customers
cluding water activities such as water tables with toys and painting with water. Many children stopped at the water tables to play
and cool off with the water. Other children painted the street with water and watched as their masterpieces quickly evaporated in
the heat. Parents also participated in the fun by exploring the amazing properties of water and observing their children’s reac-
tions to the water centers. Why is water play important? Not only is playing with water inexpensive, but water play promotes
the development of fine motor skills, gross motor skills, cognitive skills, and social play skills that are all emerging during early
childhood.
Aside from the water play activities, CLC’s free learning center also included a sidewalk chalk center, a spray-bottle paint cen-
ter, as well as a community art project. The sidewalk chalk center gave children a chance to release their creativity while devel-
oping their fine motor skills as well. In the spray-bottle paint center, children had the opportunity to work on their fine motor
skills while squeezing the spray bottles to create splashes of artwork on a sheet that was hanging from the fence. The commu-
nity art project gave children and their parents the opportunity to use their creative skills and work together with others to con-
struct a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. CLC volunteers also handed out free children’s books as well as Parent Resource
Guides from the Randolph County Partnership for Children and brochures about the programs offered at the Liberty Early
Childhood Center. Celebrate Liberty’s Children plans to offer free early learning centers at Liberty’s 4 th of July Festival next
year. Look for Celebrate Liberty’s Children this October for the Annual Movie Night at Millstone Creek Orchards and at the

Wow, is all I can say… this is my second year helping with vaca-

class to an actual adult class. It was amazing to see the church
participation in regards to volunteers. I asked several how it went

HABITAT UPDATE FOR JULY IN LIBERTY
The ―Wednesday Work Crew‖ reported for work at the third Liberty Habitat home on
July 14 under a blazing sun by 8:30 AM. In addition to an old codger Habitat Supervi-
sor and a sweet woman Habitat Supervisor, we had individuals from First Methodist
and Freedom Family Church; there was an individual from Seagrove and a lady from
Randleman with four teenagers (who turned out to be great workers). Work centered
around installing soffit and hardy board on the North gable end….it is now finished, 101 W Swannanoa Ave
YEA!...and hardy board installation on the rear of the home. Some work and some
painting on the detached storage building was accomplished also. Hickory Grove Downtown Liberty
Church members furnished a sit down lunch at Hurricane Jane’s and all enjoyed the air
conditioning for our lunch hour. For the fourth Wednesday, the same noted above work
crew worked yet again on the rear of the home installing the hardy boards and some
work was begun on the soffit and trim on the South gable of the home. Since there has Phone 622-3120

DRAFT -Work Session of The Liberty Town Council July
Held on July 19, 2010 at 7:30 pm (Not officially adopted by Council)
Present Mayor: The Honorable Jim S. Parker Council: James Lee Humble, Tyson Nixon, Shane Isley,
and Terry Caviness Town Manager: Roger Davis Town Clerk: Bridget Langley Town Attorney: Bill
Flowe Staff: Police Chief, Jerry Brown; Librarian, Susan Primm; Fire Chief, JR Beard; Parks and
Recreation Director, Martin Rierson
To Order :The Mayor called the meeting to order at 7:30pm.
Board Appointments – Parks & Rec Advisory Board :Estela Solis, Tony Kirkman and Millie
Sharp would like to be reappointed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for another three year
term. Jimmy Parker and Tracy Beard-Whatley have agreed to serve as new appointments for a three
year term each. Staff recommends Council approve the appointment of the above individuals to the
Park & Recreation Advisory Board for three year terms.
Board Appointments – Downtown Redevelopment Committee :Carolyn Vickrey, Roger Davis,
Ronnie Murray, J.B. Griffith III, and Catharine (Cherie) Brower have agreed to serve another three
year term on the Downtown Redevelopment Committee.
Staff recommends Council approve the reappointments for another three year term.
Budget Amendment :A local business has made a donation to the Liberty Police Department in the
amount of One thousand, five hundred dollars. The Liberty Police Chief, Chief Brown, would like to
use the money to purchase equipment by increasing the Police Departments supply budget by one
thousand five hundred dollars. Staff recommends Council approve the budget amendment to increase
the budget for the Police Department for supplies.
Award of Bid for Ladder Fire Truck :The Town of Liberty received a Five hundred thousand dollar
grant from FEMA for the purchase of a new ladder fire truck for which specs were developed and
advertised during the month of June. Subsequently, we received 14 bids including alternates from 14
manufacturers. The FEMA grant will fund ninety-five percent (95%) of the Five hundred thousand
leaving the Town of Liberty to pay the remaining five percent (5%) or twenty-five thousand which the
town has included in the budget for the FY 2011. One manufacturer in particular, Ferrara has met all
of the specs requested by Chief Beard at a cost of Four hundred ninety-nine thousand, eight hundred
ninety-three dollars. Chief Beard has asked the Council to consider two other trucks that exceed the
grant amount which would cost the town an additional thirty to sixty thousand dollars in addition to
the twenty-five thousand that has been budgeted to purchase a ladder truck.
Town Manager’s Report :A sinkhole was discovered in the early morning hours of July 18, 2010
along North Asheboro Street. The sewer line is thought to be the reason for the sink hole and due to
the depth of the line Staley Plumbing has been called in to dig out the line which is twenty feet deep.
The Nature Research Library grand opening is schedule for Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 11:00 am lo-
cated within the Roy Reitzel Center. Mr. Henry King of Franklinville has donated almost twelve hun-
dred books which will be for research within the library and will not be available for checkout. The
Nature Research will be open on Mondays and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm and Wednesday from
1pm to 5pm.
Waugh Asphalt has finished paving Beaver Damn Court, Carter, Murphy, Foster, Smith, Patterson
and West Moffitt. The Town receives money each year from the state under the Power Bill fund to be
used strictly for streets.
The gazebo, two tables with chairs and umbrellas have been ordered for the corner lot at Greensboro
Street and West Swannanoa Street.
Mayor Comments :Mayor Parker would like to give Town Manager, Roger Davis, a hand for being
directly responsible for the Nature Research Library and the July Festival. Town Manager, Roger
Davis, said the festival had many involved that made the July Festival possible and as a result the only
money the Town donated was the normal chamber member donation towards fireworks. All the funds
used to hold the festival came from donations, vendor slot purchases, and tee shirt sales.
Citizen Comments :Kim Black with Kids R Us Daycare has received a grant from Michelle Obama
in the amount of three thousand dollars. To maximize the money she would like to ask the town for
help in volunteers and discounted purchases to create a natural play area.
Mr. Joe Hornaday would like the Council to give some thought into considering the ladder truck that
more than exceeds the Fire Chief specs drawn up for the bid.
Closed Session :Council Member Shane Isley made a motion to go into closed session for economic
development under G.S. 143-318.11(a)(4). Council Member James Lee Humble seconded the motion,
which passed unanimously. Council Member Shane Isley made a motion to come out of closed ses-
sion on economic development matters. Council Member Tyson Nixon seconded the motion, which

and Recreation Advisory Board for three year terms. Council Member Terry
Caviness seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Board Appointments – Downtown Redevelopment Committee
Council Member Tyson Nixon made a motion to appoint Carolyn Vickrey,
Roger Davis, Ronnie Murray, J.B. Griffith III, and Catharine (Cherie) Brower
to the Downtown Redevelopment Committee for three year terms. Council
Member James Lee Humble seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Budget Amendment :Council Member Pike Johnson made a motion to record
and use the donation made to the Police Department to purchase supplies.
Council Member Shane Isley seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Award of Bid for Ladder Fire Truck :Council Member Shane Isley made a
motion to award the Pierce Fire truck for Five Hundred thirty thousand six
hundred twenty-one dollars ($530,621.00) and The Town to pay the additional
thirty thousand six hundred twenty one dollars ($30,621.00). Council Member
Pike Johnson seconded the motion, which did not pass by a two to three vote.
Council Member James Lee Humble commented that Fire Chief drew up the
specs and the Ferrara met all his specs and has the same engine, transmission
and ladder as the Pierce therefore he thought it would be in the best interest of
the tax payers money to use the thirty thousand elsewhere. Council Member
Terry Caviness made a motion to accept the bid from Ferrara and purchase the
$499,893.00 fire truck leaving The Town to pay its portion of Twenty-five
thousand ($25,000.00) of the grant. Council Member Tyson Nixon seconded
the motion, which passed by a three to two vote. Council Member Shane Isley
and Pike Johnson voted no.
Town Manager’s Report :The sewer line repair of the terracotta line along
North Asheboro Street has been repaired and the sink hole has been filled in.
Waugh Asphalt will be patching the road at a cost of eighteen hundred
($1800.00) dollars. The cost for the heavy equipment used to dig out the line
which was twenty feet underground is unknown at this time. The line has been
cleaned and videoed for any more potential damage. Due to the depth of the
sewer line, heavy equipment and shoring was needed which the Town had to
contract outside for this type of equipment. Representative Pat Hurley was in
town during the repair and is checking into emergency funds for The Town.
The two tables and umbrellas have been received and placed on the vacant lot.
The gazebo will be here the morning of July 27, 2010. The Nature Research
Library grand opening is Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 11:00 am. Three quotes
for the removal of the brick vault on the vacant lot have been received and are
as follows: Jeff Ambrose had the highest bid of thirty-eight hundred dollars
($3800.00), Tim Whitley Hauling with the lowest bid of eighteen hundred
dollars ($1800.00) and Staley Plumbing with a bid of three thousand one hun-
dred ninety dollars ($3190.00). Council Member Shane Isley made a motion to
accept the bid of Eighteen Hundred dollars ($1800.00). Council Member Terry
Caviness seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Council Member
Terry Caviness made a motion to plant four tall shade trees on the South
Greensboro side of the future Town Park. Council Member Tyson Nixon sec-
onded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Citizen Comments :Mr. Joe Hornaday is disappointed in the vote on the pur-
chase of the ladder fire truck.
Adjourn :There being no further business to discuss, Council Member Shane
Isley made a motion to adjourn. Council Member Terry Caviness seconded the
motion, which passed unanimously.

Dearest Pottery Lovers:
This has been a long time coming but we're finally ready!
What: Joseph Sand Pottery's First Kiln Opening
When: August 21st from 9am to 5pm and August 22nd from 12pm to 5pm
Where: 2555 George York Road, Randleman, NC
How: However you can! Bike, walk, carpool,
fly....it doesn't matter, just come and celebrate with us!
Why: Because you support local artists and the
hard work they put into every piece of work!
We have been hard at work getting ready for this
first event. It is a very important and special day
for us, so we hope that you can come and join us!
Refreshments and snacks will be served all week-
end (not like you need any more reason to come than to view some spectacular pot-
tery!). As I am sending this, we are just wrapping up making pots and preparing for the
firing. Please note that all of my pots will have a "1" on them, stating that this is our
first firing as an official pottery business. And for those that knew my work at Mark
Hewitt Pottery, I am still using the JSS stamp. Also available will be some fantastic,
hand-crafted jewelry earrings and necklaces. Directions to our pottery will be posted on
our website soon. Map quest and Google don't give the most efficient routes to get
here, so we recommend using the directions on our website.
For those that are early risers, if you happen to be the first to arrive at the kiln opening
on Saturday, you will receive a special something for being so dedicated!
As always, you can stay current on what we are up to at our blog:
www.sandceramics.blogspot.com and view our official website at www.jsspottery.com.
For those of you that participated in our Buy a Brick program, you will receive a sepa-
rate email. It will give you details on your special event provided as a thank you for
investing so generously in the construction of our kiln, and the true backbone of our
business.

American Legion College in Clemmons, N.C.

Each year the Department of North Carolina holds a College to teach all Post,
District, and Department Officers how to do their jobs. This college is mainly
for new Officers but all can learn something by attending. They have instructors
that have been in the American Legion for years teach the courses that The De-
partment Leadership and Development Committee feels the Officers need. The
Instructors teach all aspects of the American Legion to all that attend. The
American Legion Auxiliary as well as the Sons of the American Legion attended
too. The American Legion Extension Institute course is taught every other
year to anyone that would like to take it. The course teaches the history and
programs of the American Legion since 1919. A test is given after the course
and you have to pass to get your certificate. It is very interesting and informa-
tive. The Liberty American Legion Post 81 had several Legionnaires and one
Auxiliary member to attend. They are as follows: Terry & Jeane Stutts, Auxil-
iary President, Commander Tommy Parham, Ritchie York, and Cary McMas-
ters. Each member attends classes that each is interested in during the two days
of classes. On Thursday a day of golf is available for any that want to play. A
banquet is planned on Friday night at the Village Inn with some type of enter-
tainment for the evening. The weekend of Legion College is set up by Depart-
ment Headquarters in Raleigh. A lot of information, and materials are passed on
to all that attend and everyone seems to enjoy their time at the college. On Satur-
day after class and the evaluation sheet is completed, each person receives a pin
for Legion cap. Submitted by Cary McMasters, PDC

Local kids work together to spruce up community
Kids from the local Modern Woodmen of America Youth Service Club recently worked together to beautify the community.
Through the organization’s Community Beautification program, the kids cleaned up the garden area beside the Chamber of
Commerce and replanted new plants. The Liberty club is one of approximately 800 clubs nationwide that provide young
Modern Woodmen members with opportunities to volunteer, be patriotic, lean new skills, make friends and have fun. Club
members donate more that 300,000 hours of volunteer service work each year. Participating in the Community Beautifica-
tion program is just one way club members help make their communities better places to live. To get involved with the local
club, contact Beverly Hardy at 622-3386. Founded in 1883 as a fraternal benefit society, Modern Woodmen of America
offers financial services and fraternal member benefits to individuals and families throughout the United States. Visit

invited these individuals to their monthly meet-
ing to be honored.
John Roy Coltrane was the only Legionnaire to
attend. Roy is a WWII decorated Marine that
served in the Pacific Area, Iwo Jima, Midway
Islands, and the occupation of Japan. He lives in
Siler City and has worked in and around Liberty most of his life.
John D. Campbell was the next Legionnaire to receive his certificate.
John D. was a Korean War Veteran that served in the US Army from 1952
to 1954 and has lived in Liberty after his service.
I met Elvin C. Cox at his home in Ramseur for the presentation of his
certificate. Mr. Cox is a 90 year old WWII Marine Veteran and seems to be
doing fairly well. Our visit was short but we talked about some of our
friends and service which was rewarding and interesting.
My last stop was in Bennett where I found Henry Cleo Leonard, an Air
Force Veteran of WWII. He and his wife welcomed me into their home
where I made the presentation of the certificate. We talked of his family
and the service in the Air Force. Mr. Leonard is 82 years old at New Tires * Custom Wheels * Passenger, Farm & Truck Tires * Brake Repair
present. Interstate Batteries * NC Inspection * Automotive Diagnostics & Repair
All four of these Veterans were truly outstanding individuals Transmission & Coolant Flushes
and proud of their families. While we all talked at different
times that day one could tell they were proud of their service Liberty Tire
and proud Americans. Our communities are full of these proud & Auto Is

What Better Way To Learn About A Place, Than Actual Visitors...Testimonial….
Cardio kickboxing has been a life changing exercise class for me. The leadership is knowl-
edgeable in all aspects of fitness and physical health. The members in the exercise group lend
support to each other while working towards their individual goals. Everyone is invited to
workout at his or her own level of fitness, and encouraged to go beyond their own level of
expectation. I wouldn't get up at 5 AM for anything else unless the house was on fire.

 Christmas Comes Early to Liberty
For three years, Mayor John
Stanley, Roger Davis, Town Man-
ager, and J. R. Beard, Liberty‘s
Fire Chief have been applying for
FEMA grant to purchase a new
Fire Truck. Well, this year Christ-
mas comes early, the Town of Lib-
erty is to receive a grant from
FEMA for $500,000. FEMA will
pay 95% of the cost up to a maximum of $475,000, with the Town of
Liberty paying the balance. The Chief, the Fireman, and Town Manager
compiled a list of specifications that would be required of the new truck
and advertised for bids. Six companies submitted bids with different
options totaling fourteen bids. Only four of those bids were within our
budget of $500,000. Three of those trucks were demonstration models
and did not meet the list of specification as submitted. That left only one
truck a Ferrara for $499,893 listed below. A request was made for the
board to consider the Pierce and Smeal as options.
Shared Cost Bid FEMA Town of Liberty
A. Ferrara $499,893.00 $474,898.35 $24,994.65
B. Pierce $530,621.00 $475,000.00 $55,621.00
C. Smeal $559,233.00 $475,000.00 $84,233.00
Information was presented to the Town Board members during our
work section, which included a question and answer session in compar-
ing the bids, trucks delivery dates, etc. The Pierce has 425 horsepower,
the Ferrara has 400 horsepower. The specifications required only 400
horsepower. All other amenities were equal based on the presentation.
Questions board members must consider before rendering a decision:
A. Does the Ferrara meets the list of specifications in the bid request?
B. On what grounds can we reject the lowest qualified bidder?
C. Why should we exceed the grant approved by FEMA?
D. In the worst economy we have seen in decades, can we afford the
difference? July First Annual Peach Festival At Millstone Creek Orchard

Looking For History ...Read The Story
Liberty Leader is on Facebook and was contacted by a reader, Pat Jones. She grew up
in this area and now lives in Brown Summitt. Here question is what I love to receive,
for this is what I think makes Liberty Leader a great community paper. To the story.
Pat asked, ―Hi Kevin, Can you put in for the August issue about me looking for peo-
ple that knew my uncle and information on him. He killed in Japan during WW II.‖
She continued, ―I wondered if you could ask in your paper if any-
one reading the paper that knew William Larkin Kivett Jr or a
Patricia that he was dating ( I don't know her last night and the re-
maining family doesn't know what it was either.) to send a letter to
the paper with information about him.He was my uncle and he died
in Japan during World War II. I was named after a girl he was dat-
ing named Patricia by his request and I was 6 months old when he
died. I don't much about him even from the small family that is left
mostly cousins and there are only a few of them that knew him.
Thank you I'm not sure if you will get much or not. I have been to
the Asheboro and Liberty Library and have not been able to find
out anything about him. I have a picture of him if that would help. I
could fax it to you. Do you need more information about his parents, sisters, brothers,
where he lived and where he is buried? He was a private in the army and I have
20 his obituary that I can fax you to that will tell you wher he went to school,

where he had worked. The obituary would also tell his parents, sisters, brothers,
where he lived and probably where he is buried. I really appreciate it. I just hope we
get some information. A lot of the people that might have known him have probably
died by now especially the ones that were in World War II. I understand that some of
the men that were in service meet at the armory around lunch time. I had thought
about putting an ad or letting the paper--when you had one in Liberty
do the story if they would. That was probably 20- 25 years ago. I
wish I had done it then and I might have got to know the lady I wa
named after and more about my uncle. Thank you again so much.
You don't know what this means to me. I have went to world war II
websites and ancestry websites and asked if anyone knew him for
years now and no one has ever contacted me. Let me know if I can
help you in anyway.‖ Well people of Liberty, lets get our thinking

tions. Well Pat I hope we can get you your answers or maybe clues
that will lead you in a new direction for facts. If you have any info

Bo is a Border Collie mix and has a black circle

for his best friend. Since Tim‘s birth Bo has

stayed at his side. They are never apart. Like brothers the two play in the safety of the fenced back yard. Behind the yard is a beautiful
wooded area. Today the imagination runs away in play and centers around an oak tree that has fallen over the fence, propped on its limbs, not touching the fence. The leaves provide
the walls of the clubhouse as they play under the tree. ―Dad says he is going to cut up the tree and move it‖ Tim tells Bo, who listens intently, turning his head to one side, ―but I‘m
glad it‘s still here‖, Tim sees a small red dog on the other side of the fence watching them. ―Hey, you guys, come eat!‖ Mom calls, and the pair leave their fun and reluctantly go in-
side. Playing in the clubhouse was more fun than eating.
It is Saturday, so the family enjoys eating lunch together. ―I saw a red dog outside our fence‖ Tim tells his folks. ―You mean like Clifford, the big red cartoon dog?‖ Tim‘s
Dad laughs, thinking it was part of Tim‘s imagination at play. ―No, a real dog‖ Tim insists and this very important conversation is lost in the shuffle of life, as the parents continue
their own grown-up conversation.
Back outside the ‗red dog‘ has found its way over the fallen tree by climbing up the roots and walking across the trunk. The fence, even though the tree never touched it, did
not keep him out. Bo and Tim, always together, head back out to the clubhouse. Bo sees the ‗red dog‘ as it moves
straight toward them and tears into it as it lunges for Tim. Teeth rip skin, and the fur flies while Tim screams. The
red dog gets away over the tree again and Bo is bleeding, with his face and ears torn. The screams bring the parents
from the house and neighbors look over the fence. Tim sobs holding Bo and desperately tries to kiss him ok again.
Bo tries to wag that he is ok. ―The red dog came over the tree‖ they finally hear Tim say. Paul races toward the
woods, picking up a stick to use as a club, for his own protection. ―It‘s a fox,‖ he yells after a few minutes. ―It‘s
dead over here‖. Looks like Bo got the best of it‖ he calls, not yet knowing it was the other way around.
―Why would a fox come out of the woods, into the open, right in the middle of the day?‖ Dad asks Animal Control,
when he calls them on the phone, trying to make sense of the situation. ―It is not usual for a fox to approach humans,
especially with a dog around. It would never come that close to a house in a normal situation. Since the behavior
was abnormal, we should check this fox for rabies. Do you still have the fox?‖ they ask. They instruct Paul that
someone will come immediately and pick up the fox for testing. They also want to see Bo‘s rabies tag. Bo doesn‘t
wear his tag. It is kept safely in a file with his certificate. Sandy will get the information and let them know the dates
of Bo‘s rabies protection. The officers take the fox, handling it with gloves and put it in a bag. They will call in 24
hours, with results of the tests.
Bo and Tim get baths to soothe the wounds and wash the blood away. But the fear and trauma is not washing away.
It is tense and not normal around the house. ―If I had just cut that tree‖, Paul regrets ―That fox could not have gotten
into the fence‖. Sandy answers, also regretfully, ―He told us at
lunch that he had seen it, why did we not go out there ourselves
and look for it?‖
A very long 24 hours later we learn that the fox is rabid. This is
bad news since in the same 24 hours it is learned that Bo in fact
did NOT have his rabies vaccine. It was a year past due. ―Where
does the time go?‖ Paul mourned. Tim had held and kissed Bo
where the blood and saliva spewed from the fight. Animal Control
Representatives advise that, by law, Tim must begin the rabies
vaccine immediately. He gets 5 Immuneo-globulin shots along
with his first rabies shot. One shot in each thigh, one shot in each
arm, one shot in each hip. Tim will need another rabies shot each
week, for six weeks. At least the vaccine is not given in the stom-
ach anymore, as it used to be.
Animal Control made one more visit, this time to take Bo. By law, Bo would have to be put down. He was exposed to
rabies and his options were few. He sat in the cage of the truck. ―This can‘t be happening‖ Sandy says, crying softly as Tim sobs
uncontrollably, in her arms, both of them wracked with grief. Tim has never lived without Bo to share his life. Bo saved Tim from
the fox. Doesn‘t that count? Bo whines for Tim, not understanding his confinement in the cage, suffering from his own wounds and
needing to love Tim all-better; like he had all of Tim‘s (and Bo‘s) short life. ―How could I have let Bo‘s rabies booster be forgot-
ten?‖ Paul says, tears streaming down his cheeks as well. Bo will be taken away and put ‗to sleep‘. If the family wants the body,
they must pick it up for burial, otherwise it is tossed into the landfill. Two of the neighborhood men pick up Bo‘s body, because the
family is just too distraught and heartbroken. Several neighbors help to dig the grave and then Bo is buried in the back yard at the
spot where he shared the clubhouse with Tim.
We neighbors have carried food into the lonely, empty house where Tim continues to grieve for Bo. We have cried with
them and shared their heartache. We have vowed never again to allow such an avoidable loss of life to happen in our community on
our watch. We support a rabies clinic two times a year right here in our village to make it easy for everybody to keep up with the
time their pets are due for shots.
Bo won the fight with the fox and lost the fight for his life. Now a permanent memorial to Bo is built in their front yard, it
21 says, “Save A Life, Keep your Rabies Vaccines UP TO DATE” Love, Bo.
