Santa Hits Hurricane Jane’s Liberty Gets New Business
Governor Beverly Perdue announced today
Well, the holiday feel was in the air at Hurricane Jane’s
on Thursday Dec 23. Jan and Ron wanted to give back
to the community that has given them so much this
past year. The held a special night for all. From the din-
ing area, you could kick back with friends and family
and enjoy a great meal while listening to the talented
local, Keith Bartell, as he filled the air with wonderful
Christmas favorites.  The staff was all decked out in
their matching Tie Dyed outfits and full of smiles and
cheer. In the other half of the establishment, that is al-
lowed to be used by the community from dance classes,
to painting classes and home for Sunday Night Teen
Gathering by Freedom Family Church for the entire
community was the place do be if you where a kid. As
you walked in the room, the wall was lined with 150
treat back, that would go home to all the children. Filled
with fruits and candies, these bags hit a home run. The
big screen was up and I (Liberty Leader) was lucky
enough to be allowed to sponsor the movies for all the
children to enjoy. From Charlie Brown to Frosty the
Snowman was the features of the night. Prior to the
movie it was overwhelming to hear all the commotions
as these kids funneled in the room. But just like magic,
when the movie started, the kids all fell into place on
the floor and you could have heard a pin drop, as they
eagerly looked at the shows. Hurricane Jane’s provided
free hotdogs and drinks to all the children. They had a
special guest that brought in a real manager with hay. I
was amazed at how the kids could not stop touching
the hay, it was like a new found item. The speaker went
on  to give the true meaning of CHRISTmas. Wait, what
is that I see.... in walked Santa...so much for the peace
and order. The kids jumped to attention and fell in line.
Each child got an opportunity to set with Santa and
give him his wishes. Each child got to pick a free boy or
girl toy to take with them. I love seeing how a commu-
nity pulls together and shows their love for each other.
Well with most hurricanes there is mass destruction,
but with Liberty's very own Hurricane, nothing but
goodness and smiles was left by this Hurricanes effect.

for multiple manufacturing facilities in Randolph

Americhem is a global company specializing in
custom color and additive master batch
solutions.  They supply plastic colorants to sec-
tors that include packaging and containers, syn-
thetic fibers, building products, automotive and
transportation, engineering resins, and film and
sheet.  The company operates six manufacturing
operations worldwide including a plant in Con-
cord, North Carolina.  Growing demand for their
product and service has generated the need for
additional production capacity.   Over the last
year, the company conducted a multi-state area
search to establish a new manufacturing
operation.  They looked at sites from Ohio to
Alabama along major north/south interstate
corridors.  They identified several sites that offer
rail access, a skilled labor pool and proximity to
their customers.  They also considered expansion
of an existing operation in Georgia.  The Liberty
buildings and site met all of the key criteria listed
above and offered expansion capabilities for fu-
ture growth.   Access to a skilled manufacturing
workforce, customized training support from
Randolph Community College, and the business
friendly attitude of state and local government
officials were all important factors in Liberty’s
favor as the company narrowed their options.  
The project is made possible by incentive grants
totaling $515,000 from the Town of Liberty and
Randolph County and a $225,000 One NC Fund
grant from the State of North Carolina.  Incentive
grants will be paid over eight years as the com-
pany creates and retains jobs and meets invest-
ment targets.  The jobs will pay an average wage

fabulous news for Liberty and Randolph

“Americhem will bring new
life to Liberty Business Park

vestment to our
community.”  The company

Randolph County partnered with the Randolph
County Economic Development Corporation to
extend infrastructure and create a new rail
served industrial park.  Randolph County Com-
mission Chairman Harold Holmes welcomed the
good news.  “This is great news for our county. 
We are so pleased to see quality job growth in
rural Eastern Randolph County.  That area has
been hard hit by job loss over the last five
years.”    Randolph County Economic Develop-
ment President Bonnie Renfro thanked all of
partners that worked hard to make the project a
reality.  She singled out the NC Department of
Commerce and Secretary Keith Crisco along with
Randolph Community College, Progress Energy,
and especially the Town of Liberty and Randolph
County.  “Liberty has always been very proactive
in economic development.  They have consis-
tently invested in all of the fundamentals for
economic growth.  Our town and county have
worked together to make this a reality.” 
Americhem expects hiring to begin in the sum-
mer of 2011.

 Flu? Or Cold?
KIDD’s
Your child is sent home from school with a sore throat, cough,
and high fever — could it be the flu that's been going around?
Or just a common cold?
Although the flu (or influenza) usually causes symptoms that
make someone feel worse than symptoms associated with a
common cold, it's not always easy to tell the difference between
the two.

another cold. The important thing to remember is that flu symp-
toms can vary from child to child (and they can change as the
illness progresses), so if you suspect the flu, call the doctor. Even
doctors often need a test to tell them for sure if a person has the

a sore throat, or seems confused.
While even healthy kids can have complications of the flu, kids
with certain medical conditions are at more of a risk. If you

Treatment

special circumstances, doctors may prescribe an antiviral medi-

hours of the onset of the flu.
Most of the time, you can care for your child by offering plenty
of fluids, rest, and extra comfort.
And if the doctor says it's not the flu? Ask whether your child
should get a flu shot.

Mother Nature Visits Liberty

December was a beautiful month at the Nature Library.
We had snow inside and out. The children had pictures
taken with Mother Nature and made snowflakes and or-
naments to take home. Then on two Saturdays it snowed!
Nature was at its loveliest. It was nice to have a White
Christmas. One of our many donations is a lovely book PACK IT UP

batteries. Consider including sand or non-clumping kitty litter to make

freezing. Prepare Your Home: Make sure your home is properly insulated
by installing storm windows or covering windows with plastic from the

Earth Visions Kicks Starts A New Year

Each New Year is greeted by the Earth Visions fitness group of Liberty
with their families and friends.  This year included a grueling hike up
the steep, briar clad cliffs of Moore’s Knob at Hanging Rock State Park.  • 549 W. Starmount Ave., 3 bed, 2 bath brick
Even the seasoned fitness buffs agree that it is one of the hardest en-
deavors that they have ever undertaken.  The clouds settled on the
mountain, creating misty, dripping weather.  The damp stones and
climbing surfaces were slippery and very steep.  Often they climbed on
all fours.  Once blindfolded, the group found it easier and quicker to
scale up the mountain leaf litter, even though it was very steep.  At the
top, many were found doing their pushups at the top of the tower.  Pic-
tured in the mist at the top is Sam Kennedy of Earth Visions counting
the fifty pushups for Shane Combs, left and Dillon Mazepa, right.  After
a brisk walk, jog back down the trail, the group gathered for a January
1st picnic.  They had earned the meal of chili beans, soup, sandwiches,
desserts and coffee heated right on the spot, to warm them.  These fit-
ness folks really know how to cook and eat.  A good meal with good
company eases the trials and tribulations of the hard climb.  It is safe to
say that only the drivers were awake on the ride home.  This 7th Annual

Snow Brings Time To Be A Kid Again

With the snow we have had this month, it has allowed me to step back in time. That
would be to be a kid again. I believe we get so wrapped up in daily life we forget to
have fun. God wants his children to enjoy their life. However the devil does not want
that, he keeps us BUSY. That breaks down to Being Under Santas Yoke. How you may
say? Well we get tied up with , I want that car, that boat, that motorcycle, that TV, that
computer, that that that and then we realize we have to work more to keep it ... Little
by little we ad to our list and then we look back and see it, We have yoke on us. Well
make a point to shed some of that... Kick back and be like a kid some, even better kick
back and be like a kid with a kid.....
It will do your heart good. This past
snow I went sledding and even a
snow ball fight. I forgot how much
fun you can have without spending
a single dollar. I challenge you to try
to get ride of your yokes and em-
brace some good healthy fun. Pray
to God to help you with these mat-
ters, you will be surprised what HE

Snow On Christmas
Day...Yipee!!!
When I was a kid I liked snow. In fact, you could say maybe
I even loved snow. It snowed all Christmas night and into
the next day..., a soft gentle, steady, but relentless snow that
has melted my heart and remembered me about what I
used to love. As a kid, I remember numerous 12" snows we
had. I always came up over your boot tops. We do not have
that many anymore.  It has been years since we had a great
snow for snow cream to sledding, but it had arrived and
even better yet on Christmas Day. This snow is the stuff
dreams are made of- fluffy and so light it practically offers
no resistance when shuffled through. I made it out for 3
little short walks to get my thick sugary holiday blood
moving and fill the ole lungs with some fresh winter air.
Walking down the side street the effortless movement of
delicate snowflakes through the clean air and the reflection
of Christmas lights off the crystalline terrain was an expe-
rience to be revered and remembered. This must be what
the white Christmas hype is about. Well, I guess you can
say the persimmon seed was correct, for we have had snow
each weekend in the month leading up to Christmas Day.  I
knew no way better to show the story of this great snow
we had in our community than the pictures from the area.
They tell the story better than I could ever. I got
to be a kid agian, walking down the path an
going sledding with loved ones. You are never
too old to kick back and act as a kid. I love see-
ing kids and adults get out and enjoy great fam-
ily time. This is something that gets lost in the
hustle and bustle of today's daily grind of the
day. Normally the day after Christmas the
stores and malls are filled with eager shopper
wanted that special sale or returning that gift
(that may have been the wrong size or just was
not what was on your list), but with this snow,
the street were silent and people had a chance
to enjoy each other. Until the next great snow

Time For Change?
If you're anything like me, you probably feel overwhelmed by all the
changes you'd like to see in your life—especially around the New
Year, when change is the "thing" to do. I already know what I need
to improve—my fitness level, availability to friends, amount of qual-
ity time with God. But sometimes, the more I resolve to change, the
more I feel as though I've failed when my "to do" list of goals ends

my mind. Why not try to take a few things from your life to allow

POW/MIA Remembrance -Wow
What A
Story!
The following is a
suggested POW/MIA
Remembrance Service
to be used at banquets,
luncheons or memorial
gathering of The
American Legion. This
service can be used as
scripted, or modified
to meet the specific
needs of your
function/Post. The
Master of Ceremonies
script for this service
can also be found in
Section 3 of The
American Legion Offi-
cers Guide and Manual of Ceremonies. POW/MIA Re-
membrance Service All Those who have served, and those
currently serving in the uniformed services of the United
States, are ever mindful that the sweetness of enduring
peace has always been tainted by the bitterness of personal
sacrifice. We are compelled to never forget that while we
enjoy our daily pleasures, there are others who have en-
dured and may still be enduring the agonies of pain, dep-
rivation and imprisonment. Before we begin our activities,
we pause to recognize our Prisoners of War and those
Missing in Action. We call your attention to this small table
which occupies a place of dignity and honor. It is set for
one symbolizing the fact that members of our armed forces
are missing from our ranks. They are referred to as POWs
and MIAs. We call them comrades. They are unable to be
with their loved ones and families, so we join together to
pay humble tribute to them, and to bear witness to their
continued suppressors. The table is small, symbolizing the
frailty of one prisoner, alone against his or her suppressors.
The table cloth is white, symbolic of the purity of their in-
tentions to respond to their Countries call to arms. The sin-
gle rose in the vase, signifies the blood they may have shed
in sacrifice to ensure the freedom of our beloved United
States of America. This rose also reminds us of the family
and friends of our missing comrades who keep faith, while
awaiting their return. The red ribbon on the vase repre-
sents the red ribbons worn on the lapels of the thousands
who demand, with unyielding determination, a proper
account of our comrades who are not among us. A slice of
lemon on the plate reminds us of their bitter fate. The salt
sprinkled on the plate reminds us of the countless fallen
tears of families as they wait. The glass in inverted; they
can not toast with us at this time. The chair is empty. They
are NOT here. The candle is reminiscent of the light of
hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate their way
home, away from their captors, to the open arms of a grate-
ful nation. The American Flag reminds us that many of
them may never return - and have paid the supreme sacri-
fice to insure our freedom Let us pray to the Supreme
Commander that all of our comrades will soon be back
within our ranks. Let us remember - and never forget their
sacrifice. May God forever watch over them and protect
them and their families.

Saving A Piece Of The
World For Its Wildlife
Right after the holiday snow storm Hayley
McWilliams got a call that there was extensive
snow damage to Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park
and Breeding Center in Scotland Neck, North
Carolina. Rare and endangered birds had been
killed by the devastation and dozens were miss-
ing. She knew she must go help. She is just
that kind of a person. Although a trained volun-
teer in animal wildlife rescue, McWilliams is the
Director of Retail for the NC Zoo Society. Pro-
ceeds from the two gift shops she oversees go
directly to funding a wide variety of programs Ho Ho Ho      St. Nicholas stop by  the Liberty Sen-
and projects that support animal well-being, con-
servation, education, field work, and research. ior Center with goodies during their Christmas Social
Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park and Breeding
Center is one of the projects the Zoo Society supports. McWilliams and
another Society employee, Justin Richardson, were the first to respond to
Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park. They helped staff and local volunteers
inspect the 26 acre facility looking for injured and trapped birds. “We were
there to do whatever needed to be done,” said McWilliams. “It was also
important to repair netting and fencing as quickly as possible to keep the
predators away.” “We were afraid of loosing more birds.”
This wasn’t the first time McWilliams was quick to volunteer during a time
of crisis. In 2003, the Pisgah Covered Bridge, one of Randolph County’s
historical and cultural treasures, was destroyed by a flash flood. McWil-
liams was one of the first people to recover pieces of the bridged that had
washed away. McWilliams has worked for the NC Zoo Society, raising
money and awareness for the Zoo and its
initiatives, for 16 years. The NC Zoo Society,
an independent association of members, is
committed to fostering enduring personal
connections between people and nature.
They strongly support the North Carolina
Zoo and its projects that educate and inspire
people about their natural environment. The
Society, through the Zoo, conserves wildlife
and wild places throughout the world, pro-
motes scientific research and advcacy, en-
courages relationships with nature through
outdoor recreation, and generates respect for
animals and their welfare. Asked why she
does it, McWilliams quickly responds, “Be-
cause I really believe it’s our responsibility
to save a piece of the world for its wildlife.”
