LIBERTY LEAF
COLLECTION SCHEDULE
It’s that time of year again when all those leaves begin to fall and
the Town makes preparations for scheduled collections. This year
we will begin leaf collection the week of November 14th and con-
tinue the weekly pick up through February. Following are Tips
that will enable us to make the collection process go smoothly and
insure your leaves are collected without delay: Be sure to rake
leaves to the edge of your yard behind the curb—not into the
street. Leaf piles that are placed beyond the point where the truck
cannot reach, from the street, will be asked to be moved closer to
the curb.  Remove sticks, rocks and other debris, which can dam-
age the Town’s equipment. Do not park vehicles on, in front of or
near your leaves.  You may put your leaves in plastic bags and set
them at the curb to be picked by the Public Works Department.
The leaf collection schedule may change due to inclement weather.
We appreciate citizens cooperation and if there are any questions
we can answer feel free to
call Town Hall at 622 4276.   come and learn about reptiles and a

Persimmon Seed
Tells Winter
I was little, I always looked forward
to the time when grandpa would go
out and pick persimmons. He would
bring them into the kitchen and
grandma would turn those funny
looking things into wonderful-
ly tasty cookies. Oh, how I miss
eating grandma's fresh per-
simmon cookies. While
she made them, she
would tell me
what kind of
winter we
would have
that year. In
amazement of how
she knew this things,
finally, I asked her how
she knew. She then told
me that when they gath-
ered persimmons, they
would get the seed and cut it in
half. It seems that the shape
inside the seed gives insight into
what the following winter weather
will be. Over the years, I have always
wondered, and every fall I think back
to those childhood days and
grandma's persimmon cookies.
Shapes inside the persimmon seed
According to old timers, you can tell
what the winter will be like by cut-
ting a persimmon seed open. I would
suggest cutting a few open to make
sure they are all the same before as-
suming what the weather may be
like. What do the shapes mean?
Knife: If the shape inside the seed is
that of a knife, it is believed to mean
the winter will be cutting cold. As my
grandma would say, "So cold the
wind feels like it's cutting right
through you, like a knife. " Spoon:
T H E L I B E R T Y L E A D E R
When the shape inside the seed looks
like a spoon, it is said to mean it will
be a heavy winter. The spoon repre-
sents lots of shoveling. Fork: The
appearance of a fork shape within the
seed is believed to mean that winter
will be easy with only a light dusting
of snow. After the ice storm and
severe weather we had locally last
year, most of the people I know
are hoping for an easy winter.
What does the persimmon
seed have to say about
this? Tonight, they dis-
cussed the persimmon
legend on the local
news. They cut
many seeds
open right
there on the
broadcast. All
seeds revealed a
spoon. What does that
mean for the winter weather
this year? Well, if grandma
were here, she would say the
spoon in the seed means that we are
in for a heavy winter. As I previously
stated, according to the old-timers the
spoon represents lots of snow shovel-
ing. Will the persimmon seed be cor-
rect this year? Are we in for another
hard winter? Only time will tell. I
will be watching to see, as I have
always wondered. Does the persim-
mon seed really know what our win-
ter will be like? I am curious to see if
the persimmon seed gets it right this
year. Eventually I plan to have a per-
simmon tree of my own. Then I can
make those  persimmon cookies just
like grandma used to make, and I can
have fun checking to see what the
persimmon seed predicts for the
upcoming winter each year.
 
Liberty School Fall Festival
A Liberty Tradition That Creates Memories
For going on over thirty years now, I have fond memories from my youth to now of the
Liberty School Fall Festival. I still get excited walking up and seeing the road blocked
and knowing all the great activities just up the street.  This years pulled out all the
punches. What I loved the most, is seeing all the new memories being created. Not only
the fact of the games and activities, but the time spent with their parents. The Liberty
School PTO did an outstanding job again this year.  Office Staff member Wanda Martin
graced the crowds with her singing at the karaoke stand, along with multiple other peo-
ple.  All the teachers and parents were stationed at their booth to provide all the great
activities. From colored hair, to go fish, to cake walk, to well you name it...they had it...
Now one thing has changed over the years, the inflatables, wow , is all that can be said.
Lets not forget the great foods, from hot dogs to chicken tenders, to snow cones to cotton
candy, if you left hungry, it was your own fault. Well, it appears this event raised some
great funds for the Liberty Elem School PTO to use to help with the school. I know they
would like to say thanks to all the volunteers to the visitors for making this years festival
a success.

Downtown Liberty Changes By The Minutes

Last month the Town Of Liberty installed planters on main street. Prior to the Third Thurs-
Woosley Photography
day's Downtown Block Party, the town acquired dirt and shrubs for the planters. All of these
elements took place due to the Small Town Main Street Grant that Liberty received a year ago. Going Where The Best Shot Is
A special thanks to Kevin Coble, Asst Public Works Director that worked with Town Manager
Roger Davis to fill all the planters along main street with soil. The Shrubs were donated by the
Owen George and his non-profit Trees NC in Asheboro. They donated $125 for the trees.  As
you can see this is a group effort.  That is what has me so excited about the whole Small Town
Main Street Program. It is a community pulling together to create change. As you can see from
the pictures, our Police Chief Jerry Brown and Fire Chief J R Beard, shows they are not to good
to roll up there sleeves, well I should say roll out the house, and do a little work to make
changes happen. They worked on getting water into all the planters. Liberty's Park and Rec-
reation Direction Martin Rierson, works hard at planting pansies in the containers. Not only
did he do that, but he worked on a planting bed at the corner block park that covered the Woosley Photography
metal sticking up from where the old bank vault once stood.. This was a joint project between
Martin Rierson and Kenneth Shoffner of Parks And Recreation. Ron Murray from Liberty
Located In Historic
Hardware arranged for Gilbert’s Nursery to donate 12 flats of pansies for the project.  The Downtown Liberty
good efforts does not stop there. It is like a fire, you start with a little spark and that spark 128 W Swannanoa Ave

support all. Carol Wall from Awesome Finds encouraged Martin while planting the pansies. Phone 252-717-4770

and pressure washed the sidewalks downtown. You see what a little effort can do. I look so

October’s Third
Thursday Block Party
(WOW A Whole Lot Of Fun)
Well, this makes the fourth Third Thursday Block
Party at the corner lot on downtown Liberty. This
months event  has out done them all. The venue
of music this month was local gospel. God has
really blessed our area with some great gos-
pel music artist. The opening act was the Royal
Harmonizers (which is the Shoffner family) ,
followed by The Hopson Family and local favor-
ite Aprille Miller. Each of these acts was excited at
being part of reviving downtown Liberty. They
did such an outstanding job of not only moving
the crowds,  that they ended up moving a young
man to ask to step up and sing to the group. That
young man, Josh , sang a song to the
group. That continue to show the
local talent we had because he left
the group at awe to hear his voice.  A
special thanks needs to go to the
town of Liberty. Town Manager,
Roger Davis, worked hard to get
Progress Energy to install a new
corner light to illuminate the area.
Police Chief Brown and the officers
help maintain traffic and helped with
blocking off the parking lot for
spectators. Town Parks and Recrea-
tion Manger, Martin Reirson, worked
fast to construct a planter to cover
the metal of the old bank vault and
also line up safety lines to public
safety.  We also had local jewelry
artist and great tasting of homemade
cakes by a bakery artist, Peggy Holl-
brook. Peggy provide free samples of her great
moist made from scratch pound cake to all the
spectators. Well, the downtown business did
there part also. The had extended hours of busi-
ness and also offered specials and drawings. The
Edge, the new hair salon on main street did a
drawing that night for $100 in free products and
offered discounts for her visitors. The Liberty
Hardware stayed opened and had great foot traf-
fic for visitors to see all the latest fall decor but
also start thinking about their Christmas List.
T H E L I B E R T Y L E A D E R
Liberty PC repair, had a special offer for visitors.
Awesome Finds store was a bustle of customers
looking at all the great finds. They also offered
special discounts for the night. I can not forget
Woosley Photography that was on the spot to
take all the great shots you are seeing. As you
ventured down the street and your ears lost
sounds from the great gospel music, your ears
picked up  on a new sound. That would be the
picking that was taking place in Masteen's Music.
Local pickers had a jam session going on. Well, as
you can see from the picture, there was close to
200 visitors these block party. What was so excit-

We were a foursome, yard sales, dinners and praying for
each others. Sharing all we had. Together was a word
we loved.
In time…
Laughing, singing, taking joy in fellowship, and just
glad to be alive & together.
In time…
The dreaded diagnosis, loss of hair, an operation, medi-
cations, hospital stays (too many to count), finally
“There’s no more we can do.”
In time…
A few short weeks at home, bed ridden, visits from
family. The past remembered and laughed at. Then a
whispered,
“See you in the morning.”
In time…
We’ll meet again, the past forgotten, joy, peace, praise
will continue. Eternity will have begun. They’ll be no
more “In Time.’

Town Manager’s Report
The Fire Department is involved in a week long State inspection on the Response
Rating System by the DOI. This inspection has been requested by The Town of Lib-
erty with the goal of improving the rating in the Northeast Fire District and decrease
home owner’s insurance premiums. When the County increased the fire tax two years
ago the Town promised to make every effort to improve their rating which would
offset the tax increase with lower home owner premiums.
Gilberts Nursery in Greensboro has donated 12 flats of flowers. Parks and Recrea-
tion
Director, Martin Rierson has planted them on the corner park.
Council Comments
Council Member Terry Caviness feels we are not keeping the residents informed as
well as we should and he would like to see us make a priority of getting the draft of
the minutes to Kevin Bowman by the first of the month.
Council Member Tyson Nixon has been approached by a citizen who said they would

Art Therapy Recreates

More Than Memories
 People often say that art “speaks” to them. When
words and thoughts fail, as in the case of Alzheimer’s,
the symbolic language of art can tell a story, express an
emotion or recreate a memory that may otherwise be
left untold. For people living with Alzheimer’s disease,
painting can sometimes unlock stories from their lives.
With a generous $4,000 grant from the Randolph Hospi-
tal Community Health Foundation, every week more
than 20 residents at CrossRoads Retirement Center have
the opportunity to meet and re-create memories through
a program called “Art for Health”. “We are extremely
grateful to the Randolph Hospital Community Health
Foundation for the “Art for Health” grant,” states Har-
old McManus, Executive Director at CrossRoads. “This
unique program gives something back to patients, fami-
lies, and the community that no other program has been
able to duplicate. Patients benefit through the creation
of art. Families benefit because communication is made
possible, allowing them to develop a unique apprecia-
tion of their loved one who is suffering from
Alzheimer’s.” So what is the “Art for Health” Program
and how does it benefit those living with Alzheimer’s?
As part of the program, patients with no art background
meet weekly to create art and giving them an opportu-
nity to regain the ability to communicate while boosting
self-esteem and opening the channels of communication
with loved ones. “The artists speak with powerful brush
strokes of color and tentative tracings of line. They pull
us into the world of an individual with Alzheimer's. As
we look at their paintings, we see their stories in a lan-
guage that needs no words. Their paintings show us
glimpses of who they were and who they still are.
There's something about the art therapy that brings out
something deep inside,” notes McManus. “Art for
Health” is a special initiative making a difference in the
lives of those who with Alzheimer’s,” notes April
Thornton, director of Public Relations and Develop-
ment. “By funding this program, the Randolph Hospital
Community Health Foundation is helping to ensure that
the health and wellness of our loved ones living with
this disease is not lost.” Founded in 1995, the Randolph
Hospital Community Health Foundation uses the inter-
est from contributions to award grants to the Randolph
County community. The Randolph Hospital Commu-
nity Health Foundation awarded its first grants in 1997.
Contributions to the Foundation have been a valuable
part of the Foundation’s ability to award over a half a
million dollars in grants over the last 13 years. All funds
contributed to the Foundation are invested and the
income is used to fund Randolph Hospital health and
wellness projects, hospital services and equipment, and
other community non-profit health and wellness

here at the
well to hear those voices. It is different at the well every time I
am here.  Many times I linger and listen.  What I have noticed
is that different groups of people draw different kinds of in-
formation out of one another.  Today at the well, I listened a
little while longer to hear the end of this sharing.  I am very
glad that I did. It is autumn and someone muses aloud,
“Wonder what makes the leaves such beautiful colors?”  Voices
answer as folks share their thoughts.  One says, “I have heard
that it is whether or not we have rain, so the dryness or wet-
ness creates the beautiful colors”.  Another voice says, “It could
be the length of the days that makes the difference.  The days
become shorter by almost two minutes each day, so there is
more darkness.  Perhaps that is what affects the colors”. 
“There is a tilt to the earth”, softly speaks another voice, “as
earth wobbles to another slant toward the sun, that may be the
trigger for the leaves to drop.”  “Oh, the trees are just going to
sleep for the winter”, adds an interested child.  “It is the falling
temperatures”, someone said, “We have had a frost already”. 
The next voice really got the attention of all of us.  “The trees
feel the tug of the Source of all of us, the Creator, God.  There is
a tug in the hearts of the trees caused by the Great Voice that
tells them winter is coming and it is the time for rest.  The
Voice reminds them that they must begin to withdraw and
collect the nutrition from the leaves to be stored in their roots. 
They will need this burst of energy in the coming spring.  So
they begin a slow process to draw within them the Spirit of
life, that life force given by the sun, from each single leaf.  As
the life slowly drains away from the leaf, it can no longer func-
tion to nurture the tree, as the strong green leaf that it was.  Local Reader Sent This In For Paper

A TRIP TO Don't
Walking into a grocery store can sometimes seem like a nightmare when
COSTCO you are trying to eat healthy and cook healthy meals for your family.
Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buy- This is especially true when you take young kids on your grocery adven-
ing a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my
loyal pet, Bailey, the Wonder Dog and was
in the checkout line when a woman behind
me asked if I had a dog. What did she
think I had, an elephant? So since I'm re-
tired and have little to do, on impulse I told
her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was start-
ing the Purina Diet again. I added that I
probably shouldn't, because I ended up in
the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50
pounds before I awakened in an intensive
care ward with tubes coming out of most
of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told
her that it was essentially a perfect diet and
that the way that it works is to load your
pants pockets with Purina nuggets and
simply eat one or two every time you feel
hungry. The food is nutritionally complete
so it works well and I was going to try it
again. (I have to mention here that practi-
cally everyone in line was now enthralled
with my story. Horrified, she asked if I
ended up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped
off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and
a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind
her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.  Costco won't let me
shop there anymore. Better watch what
you ask retired people. They have all the
time in the world to think of crazy things
to say.

ture, their ideas of what foods should be going into the grocery cart are
probably much different than your own. They typically seem to want the
sweet and highly processed foods advertised on Saturday mornings or
on the cartoon channels.
Read and compare labels
There are the low fat deli meats, next to the healthy multi grain wraps, strategically placed by the lower calorie snack pack of cookies. The bigger ques-
tion is how healthy are these foods? Companies have done a great job of making packaging look appealing and creating wording that markets their
products as a healthy choice. Unfortunately, it is left up to the consumer to call them on their marketing tricks and the only way to do this is to become
educated on the foods you eat. The best way to do this is to use food labels that are mandatory for all prepared foods. It will tell you how many calories
are in each serving, amount of sugar, fat, protein, vitamin/mineral content and it will list the ingredients in the product.
Now what about the products that do not need a label, such as baked goods, produce, meat and seafood products? Many of these products also use
marketing tricks to look like healthy options but it's sometimes hard to know which is best. These are the foods that take a little more digging to find the
best choice.
How to choose well at the bakery
When choosing baked goods, lower calorie or lower sugar choices usually have only a small difference than their regular counterparts. When it comes to
baked goods, I suggest buying the regular version but have a smaller portion.
How to choose the right produce
Many people think organic is the way to go when it comes to produce-- however, the better option would be to buy local and in season produce for bet-
ter quality, nutrient dense products. Organic produce does not necessarily mean better quality produce; it just means it meets the criteria set by the
United States Department of Agriculture for organically grown foods. These products can still be picked early and put in a warehouse to ripen then
trucked off across the country to grocery stores. Picking produce early decreases the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables.
How to select healthy meat
When selecting meats, look for cuts with minimal fat or marbling which will be less tender but healthier. To tenderize meats, use slow cooking methods,
pound out meat to thinner cuts or use low calorie marinades.
What to look for in fish
When selecting seafood, always choose the non-breaded version. Cold water fatty fishes are higher in Omega-3's, which help to protect against certain
diseases.
Many health professionals will tell you to shop the perimeter of the store but this may not be the best advice. There are many foods that fit into a healthy
diet that are down the middle aisles of grocery stores. It just takes a little more time of reading food labels to figure out what foods are good choices and
say which are less healthy options. Become a food detective and seek out the foods that meet your needs as a consumer!

Thanksgiving Day Reflections

 Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, is just a few weeks away. It's my
favorite because there are so few expectations besides eating and visit-
ing. That gives you a clue as to how much time I spend actually pre-
paring the meal. But I also love the idea that an entire holiday is set
aside just to thank God for our many blessings. To help you prepare,
why not spend a little more time reading the Word and meditating on
all that God has done for you. To much of the time we take for granted
all the things He has done in our life. Why not start a journal for the
rest of this month. It can be of the things He has done in the past or
just write down where HE has showed up and showed off. I am look-
ing forward to creating mine.

NEW PROGRAM FOR VETERANS

The Salisbury Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) RURAL
HEALTH Program would like to introduce
itself in a short presentation during the Ag-
ing Services Committee Meeting, in collabo-
ration with Piedmont Triad Council Of Gov-
ernments. The presentation is scheduled for
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 and will be held
at the Randolph County Dept. Of Social Serv-
ices Training Room, located at 1512 N. Fayet-
teville Street in Asheboro, NC. There will be
three Salisbury VAMC Rural Health team
members at the presentation:  Tammy Smith – Doctor of Phar-
macy, “Tony” Fisher – Driver/Veteran Liaison and Dwight Hol-
mes – Public Affairs Officer. The Salisbury Rural Health Program
is seeking to partner with local community and health care leaders
to ensure veterans have access to the health care they have earned.
This presentation is open to all health care providers, social serv-
ices staff, and veteran services providers, as well the general pub-
lic. Rural Health is a very new program here at the Salisbury
VAMC.  Rural Health is a non-profit organization and our only
purpose is to support our Veterans.  VAMC does not sell
anything.  VAMC gives away valuable information to anyone who
ever served in any branch of the military. The Salisbury Rural
Health Program’s purpose is to reach out into a 24-county area
and engage veterans and community leaders to include those in
the medical profession.  The Rural Health Program strives to com-
plement, not compete with, the local community and health
professionals.The main initiatives of the Rural Health Program are
to engage and educate veterans on health issues and improve
screening including health maintenance and compliance, specifi-
cally congestive heart failure, cardio-vascular disease, diabetes
mellitus, and MyHealtheVet.  Additionally, the program assesses
and evaluates the rural populations to determine specific issues to
address.  The program also seeks out veterans in the rural areas,
targeting those veterans who have never registered with VA, edu-
cating them on their possible benefits, and encourag-
ing them to take advantage of the VA and all that it
has to offer.  The Salisbury Rural Health program
initiative began in mid April 2010, reaching out to
veterans in Union, Stanly, Randolph, and Wilkes
Counties.  VAMC covers a 24-County area reaching
through the middle of North Carolina, from Anson

Rick’s Casino Night County to Ashe County and from Gaston County to
Stokes County, seeking out venues such as festivals,

Deer Safety: Tips for Avoiding a Collision

Like a scene straight out of a sports car commercial, you're driving
along a winding road in the dead of night, the eerie glow from your
headlights meeting the narrow asphalt, when suddenly, two green
eyes flash in the darkness ahead – and a deer steps onto the roadway.
Unlike the television ad when the driver swerves wildly around the
animal and then speeds off carelessly into the blackness, encounter-
ing a deer while you're on the road can be dangerous and scary. Ac-
cording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), large animal-vehicle collisions resulted in an average of
187 fatalities in recent years. So, what can you do to stay safe during
deer season? Read on to learn the latest statistics and a few tips for
making your drive through deer country as safe as possible.
Deer Statistics
· Dawn and dusk are the times you are most likely to encounter deer
along the roadside.
· Deer breeding season runs from October through early January, and
during this time they are highly active and on the move. This is
when deer-vehicle collisions are at their peak.
·Though deer may wander into suburban neighborhoods, they are Local Doctor Points to Hopeful

MEDICARE PART D
AND MEDICARE ADVAN-
TAGE CHANGES FOR 2011
It is that time of year again when Medicare
beneficiaries need to review their Medicare
insurance. The 2011 Medicare Part D/Medicare
Advantage Health Plan Annual Election Period
is almost here. From November 15 - December
31, 2010 Medicare beneficiaries can enroll, dis-
enroll, or switch plans for an effective date of
January 1, 2011. Those already enrolled will be
mailed their Annual Notice of Change from
their current plan informing them of changes to
their plan for 2011. A beneficiary should not
assume that a plan that met their needs in 2010
will be the best plan for them in 2011. For those
who are not currently enrolled or never enrolled
in a Part D plan, this is the time to enroll (but
you may have a premium penalty if other cred-
itable coverage did not exist). There are some
changes that are important to note for 2011:
In the past beneficiaries were also allowed to
enroll in Medicare Advantage Health plans from
January-March. That enrollment period has
been eliminated. Enrollment into a Part D plan
or an Advantage plan must be done by Decem-
ber 31st. There will be a new Medicare Advan-
tage Disenrollment Period from January 1-
February 14, 2011 for those who wish to drop
their Advantage Plan and go back to original
Medicare and a Part D plan only. Enrollment
into another Advantage Plan will not be
allowed.Some plans are ending this year and
those currently enrolled will need to enroll in
another plan for 2011. There are 23 Medicare
Advantage plans and 14 Part D plans that will
no longer be available in Randolph County next
year.There are changes to the coverage gap (do-
nut hole) for 2011. You hit the coverage gap
when the full cost of your medication (what you
pay and what Medicare pays) reaches $2,840.
For the past five years when someone was in the
coverage gap they were responsible for the full
cost of their medication. In 2011 you will re-
ceive a 50% on most brand name medication
while in the gap and a 7% discount on generic
medication.People who have Medicaid, Medi-
care Part B premium assistance, or those who
receive Part D Extra Help (Low-Income Sub-
sidy) do not have to change during the Annual
Election Period. Those who receive these types
of assistance can change any time during the
year. It is good, however, to make sure you are
in the best plan and it may be beneficial for you
to review your plan in January when it is not as
busy.Those who do not receive assistance but
think they may be eligible, need to be screened
for eligibility. If you are an individual and your
income is below $1,354/month or a married
couple with a combined income below $1,822/
month, you may be eligible for assistance. The
Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program
(SHIIP) Coordinators at Randolph County Sen-
ior Adults can help you apply for assistance and
review your current coverage. SHIIP Coordina-
tors and Volunteers are trained by the NC De-
partment of Insurance to counsel Medicare
beneficiaries and enroll them in the plan that
best suits their needs. Randolph County SHIIP
Coordinators Jo Ellen Needham and Margie
DiDona can be reached at 336-625-3389 or 1-800-
252-2899, or stop by Monday-Thursday 8:30-4:00
at 133 W. Wainman Avenue, Asheboro. It is
important that you bring your original red,
white and blue Medicare card, along with your
medications. If you bring a list of your medica-
tions be sure to note the name and dosage of
each. You can also get assistance by phone by
calling SHIIP in Raleigh (Monday-Friday) at 1-
800-443-9354, or Medicare (24 hours a day) at 1-
800-633-4227

  American Legion Post 81
Hosted
  Officers for Roundup
   On 05 November 2010 Post 81 hosted a stop for a
state- wide Membership roundup. A group of
about twenty-five Legionnaires from across the
state met at Liberty American Legion Post 81 for a
short Membership meeting and refreshments. The
Legionnaires consisted of National Vice Com-
mander Carlos Medina, from San Juan, Puerto
Rico,  Department Commander Bill Oxford, Lenoir
Post 29,  NECman Jerry Hedrick, Lexington Post 8,
Department Adjutant Frank Stancil, Cary Post
67,James Moore, State Membership Chairman,
Division III Commander Patricia Harris, Apex 124,
Department Historian Larry Rozier, Post 530.
The meeting was opened by PDC Cary McMasters
and the gavel was passed to Department Com-
mander Oxford for  his comments on Membership
and National Vice Commander Medina talked on
his Vietnam experiences ( 2 tours) and his Ameri-
can Legion Life for over 38 years.   Commander
Oxford’s goal for the Membership Roundup was
250 members BUT received 278 members the first
day. I would say that the Roundup was already a
success.   Several members from American Legion
Post 81 were on hand for the meeting. Several Post
members shared experiences with our visitors
before and after the meeting. Post 81 members
stated they enjoyed meeting the Legionnaires pre-
sent & visitors and sharing stories. The Roundup
group was escorted from Sanford Post 382 by Le-
gion Riders from Aberdeen Post 72. The Roundup
Group left Liberty and was on their way to Lexing-
ton Post 8 for lunch and then to Lewisville.

Future Foam
ARCHDALE, North Carolina – November 8, 2010 Future Foam Inc.
will expand to Archdale, North Carolina in early December. The
company will relocate to the 285,000 square foot former Rose Furni-
ture facility at 3803 Comanche Drive in the Archdale Industrial Park.
Within the first 12 months of operation, the company expects to
employ 60-70 at the Archdale location. The project will create 25
new jobs in North Carolina and relocate an operation from Hickory
NC to Archdale to accommodate growing demand for its products.
The project was made possible by a Building Reuse Grant from the
North Carolina Rural Center of $195,722. Grant funds will be used
to make permanent renovations to the vacant facility to meet Future
Foam’s requirements and must be matched by the building owner
and the City of Archdale and Randolph County. Future Foam, Inc.
was founded in 1958 and is headquartered in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Future Foam has factories throughout the US and is a key supplier
to the furniture and bedding industries. According to a Future Foam
corporate spokesperson, this location will be close to our High Point
foam manufacturing plant, as well as our account base, and will
allow us to improve service to our customers. The Comanche Drive
plant will operate as a fabrication and warehouse facility. We are
excited to begin operations in Archdale and look forward to work-
ing with the local community.The company will invest $2.4 million
in machinery and equipment in the new operation that will supply
the furnishings, bedding, automotive, construction and home im-
provement materials sectors. Archdale and Randolph County have
committed $10,000 each toward the grant match and building owner
J L Darr & Sons will fund the remaining match to complete the
renovations. “We are delighted to welcome Future Foam to Arch-
dale. They bring needed jobs and investment to our community and
new life to one of our largest buildings. It is great news for our peo-
ple,” said Bert Stone, Mayor of Archdale. Her comments were ech-
oed by Darrell Frye, Vice Chair of the Randolph County Board of
Commissioners. “Randolph County has always supported eco-
nomic development and offered a business friendly environment for
new companies. We are glad to partner with Archdale and the NC
Rural Center to bring new jobs to our area.” Randolph County Eco-
nomic Development President Bonnie Renfro saluted the Rural Cen-
ter for the innovative program to put vacant buildings into reuse.
“Thanks to our legislators and the Rural Center, we have a very
effective program that directly impacts our economic growth. Fu-
ture Foam is a great addition to our community and they will find a
willing workforce.” Future Foam is accepting applications for em-
ployment through Debbie’s Staffing at the following address:
