A 12-year-old girl’s moment of triumph turned to heartbreak when someone stole her prizewinning draw-ing from the Union County Fair.

“Night Owl,” Morgan Faucett’s color pencil draw-ing of an owl, won Best of Show for Middle School and High School during the art show at the fair on Oct. 17. The drawing won Morgan a $25 cash prize and a ribbon which was dis-played along with her draw-ing for the duration of the fair, which ended Saturday night. Morgan and her fam-ily were to pick up the draw-ing Monday, but their plans came to a halt with a disturb-ing phone call that morning.

Needy families in Union County will be the beneficia-ries of a food drive planned for the first Saturday in November.

Urban Achievements for Youth Education — a local non-profit organization estab-lished to encourage local youth to excel academically — will hold a food drive at Union County Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The group is asking for non-perishable food items to be dropped off during the drive. Those involved are also look-ing for churches to be drop-off sites for anyone who cannot attend the food drive. The food will be distributed to needy children in Union County on Nov. 19.

The idea for the food drive came from eighth-grader

TyChrissa Whitmire, who was inspired to help children at her school.

“I’m a child, and I know I wouldn’t want to be hungry,” Whitmire said.

The goal of the drive is to feed 75-100 local families,

whose names will come from local churches, DSS and the Salvation Army.

Donations will also be accepted to help purchase tur-keys for local families in need.

Union County’s efforts to sup-port veterans continued Wednesday morning with Veterans Awareness Day at Tabernacle Baptist Church

The event was held to provide information to local veterans and

their dependents about benefits for which they could be eligible. Numerous local and state agencies were present, as well as representa-tives from the offices of U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, U.S. Sen. Jim Demint and State Sen. Harvey Peeler.

Union Mayor Harold Thompson

also attended, mentioning the event was a positive one since there are so many veterans who are not aware of the benefits available to them.

“This has been a great opportunity for veterans to meet other veterans,” said Ed Burwell of Vietnam Veterans of America.

From today’s viewpointmanliness in a can

If you worry that American corporations have lost the innovative, can-do edge necessary to compete in today’s global economy, you need to spend some time with Dr Pepper.

I don’t mean a shrink, but the soft-drink. It’s a brand that, let’s face it, has seemed a bit stodgy. But — Pow! — no more. Meet Dr Pepper Ten, a brand-new concoction that promises to deliver the impossible: a macho diet soda. How’s that for innovation?

Painting workshops continue with “Painting With Coffee” artists

Union County Arts Council’s (UCAC) “Painting With Coffee” artists held an oil painting work-shop recently that was conducted by local oil artist Gib Kohr. Kohr demonstrated his approach to working with oils to a group of eight artists in the UCAC Gallery.

Kohr showed the group how he tones his canvas before “underpainting” his scene.

“I always tone my canvas before I do any painting,” said Kohr. “All I’m doing at this stage is using Burnt Sienna or Raw Sienna to completely cover the white of the canvas.

A 13-year-old juvenile is facing assault charges after he allegedly attacked four people early Saturday morning.

The juvenile is charged by the Union Public Safety Department with four counts of assault and bat-tery.

Officers were original-ly dispatched shortly after midnight Saturday to a business on US 176 in ref-erence to fight. They found no sign of the fight but were then dispatched to another location where they spot-ted a group of individu-als running across the road. Among the individuals they detained was the 13-year-

old and two other male juveniles who would also later be placed under arrest.

The incident report states an officer spoke with one of the victims who is described as an adult female with a busted lip. The vic-tim said she and two other adults were walking a group of female juveniles from the fair when a group of male juveniles walked up and began making obscene statements. The woman said the adults tried to run the male juveniles off, but they would not leave and

shouted obscenities at them.The victim said the

male juveniles then saw her nephew ahead of the group and encircled him as if they were going to jump him. She said she was attempting to break up the crowd by pushing them away from her nephew when the 13-year-old hit her in the mouth and busted her lip. The woman said the 13-year-old also struck three juveniles.

The report states the other two juveniles — ages 12 and 13 — arrested with the 13-year-old were

charged with disorderly conduct. One because dur-ing the incident he allegedly tried to hit someone with his fist but didn’t connect, and the other because when asked by an officer to sit down he cursed in front of the female juveniles.

All three juveniles were transported to the public safety department where they were booked and Department of Juvenile Justice paperwork was done on each of them.

TODAY IN HISTORY

LOCAL WEATHER OBITUARIES

By The Associated PressToday is Thursday,

Oct. 27, the 300th day of 2011. There are 65 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Oct. 27, 1811, inventor Isaac Merritt Singer, founder of the sew-ing machine company that bears his name, was born in Pittstown, N.Y.

On this date:In 1787, the first of the

Federalist Papers, a series of essays calling for ratifi-cation of the United States Constitution, was pub-lished.

In 1858, the 26th presi-dent of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, was born in New York City.

In 1880, Theodore Roosevelt married his first wife, Alice Lee.

In 1886 (New Style date), the musical fan-tasy “A Night on Bald Mountain,” written by Modest Mussorgsky (MOH’-dest muh-SAW-RG’-skee) and revised after his death by Nikolai R i m s k y - K o r s a k o v , was performed in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1922, the first annual celebration of Navy Day took place.

In 1938, Du Pont announced a name for its new synthetic yarn: “nylon.”

In 1947, “You Bet Your Life,” starring Groucho Marx, premiered on ABC Radio. (It later became a television show on NBC.)

In 1971, the Democratic Republic of Congo was renamed the Republic of Zaire (but it went back to its previous name in 1997).

In 1978, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (men-AH’-kem BAY’-gihn)

were named winners of the Nobel Peace Prize for their progress toward achieving a Middle East accord.

In 1995, a sniper killed one soldier and wounded 18 others at Fort Bragg, N.C. (Paratrooper William J. Kreutzer was convict-ed in the shootings, and condemned to death; how-ever, the sentence was later commuted to life in prison.)

One year ago: Dozens of Jewish extremists hoisting Israeli flags defi-antly marched through the Arab-Israeli town of Umm el-Fahm, chant-ing “death to terrorists” and touching off clashes between rock-hurling res-idents and police. Former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner died at age 60. The San Francisco Giants won the first game of the World Series, defeating the Texas Rangers 11-7.

Read Ecclesiastes 7:8-14Whether Paul or

Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future — all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

— 1 Corinthians 3:22-23 (NRSV)

PRAYER: O God,

help us put into practice what we know and what you promised — and that no matter what happens today, we can trust you. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Regardless of our plans, the future is in God’s hands.

LAW & ORDER

Juvenile charged with four counts of assault and batteryBy CHARLES [email protected]

See CRIME, Page 3

“I had a friend who went by to pick up her entry at the fair,” Pam Faucett, Morgan’s moth-er, said. “She had to pick up her entry by 12 and she had her kids with her and they wanted to see Morgan’s drawing one more time. She called me and asked if I’d already picked Morgan’s picture up and I said no, because we were not supposed to pick them up until after 3:30 p.m. She said it was really strange because ‘the black mat is still here, her ribbon is still here, but the picture is gone.’ She said nothing was ripped, it looked like it had been taken off very carefully.”

Pam said she immedi-ately left home and went to the fairgrounds and when she arrived she found the scene just as her friend described it. She said she was struck by the care the thief took in removing the drawing.

“The person who stole the picture took special care in removing it from the black mat so as not to harm the picture,” Pam said. “Nothing was ripped. It looks as if a staple remover was used.”

Pam said a friend told her she’d seen the draw-ing at the fair around 10 p.m. Saturday. She said the drawing was discov-ered missing around 11:30 a.m. Monday.

Later that day, Pam and her husband, Tracy, met

with Union County Fair Association Director Paul Winters about the theft of their daughter’s drawing. While he said the fair is not responsible for any stolen or damaged prop-erty, Pam said Winters told her and her husband the fair would be willing to put up a reward for the drawing’s return.

Winters said Wednesday evening that the Fair Association is offering a reward for the return of the drawing.

Morgan, who is home schooled, hopes to be a professional artist and has been drawing since she was 10. She has previ-ously entered her artwork at the fair, winning Best in Show in 2010.

Pam said her daughter was heartbroken at first, but has since come to see the theft in a spiritual light.

“At first she cried,” Pam said. “Now, she says ‘everything happens for a reason, something good will come of this.’”

Pam said there’s been an outpouring of support for Morgan since the theft occurred, and she wanted to thank everyone for their kindness.

“People have reached out to her, some we’ve not seen in years, others we’ve never met before,” Pam said. “They just heard about it, they felt bad about it, and they just wanted her to know that

they supported her.”The Faucetts are them-

selves offering a $100 reward for the return of the drawing. Pam said they are doing so because they know how much of herself their daughter puts into her art.

“We cannot put a mon-etary value on it,” Pam said. “It’s our daughter’s, we know how hard she worked on it, and we just want it back.”

While they want the drawing back, Pam said if they don’t get it back, they at least want to pre-vent this from happening to others.

“If we don’t get it back, we would at least like to bring attention to this so it doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Pam said. “Anyone who enters something in the fair works really hard on it and they shouldn’t have to worry about some-one taking it.”

The drawing may be returned, no questions asked, to The Union Daily Times or to WBCU.

Two of them were then released to the custody of their parents while the third was transported to his parent’s home.

ArrestsThe following persons

were arrested by the public safety department.

George Odell McBeth,

41, 123 Wiseman Road, Union, charged Sunday with driving under suspen-sion and operating an unin-sured motor vehicle.

Satin Caprice Fleming, 20, 1111 Lakeside Drive, Apt. 14B, Union, charged Friday with driving under suspension first offense.

Andrew Charles Nichols, 18, 223 Shady Hill Drive, Union, charged Sunday with possession of

beer by a person under age.

Christopher Lee Crocker, 17, 731 Kelly Road, Union, charged Sunday with possession of beer by a person under age.

Matthew Dylan Millwood, 19, 609 Green St., Union, charged Sunday with possession of beer by a person under age and simple possession of mari-juana.

A ‘true love’ story and some Halloween jokesAn Example Of True

LoveTrue Love is hard to

define, but here is a story that defines “true love.”

It was a busy morn-ing, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9 a.m. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he pat-ted my hand and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.”

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, “That is the kind of love I want in my life.” True love is neither physi-cal nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message.. This one I thought I could share with you. The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did.

Tales From The Rough!

A Sure Cure!A widow recently mar-

ried to a widower was accosted by a friend who laughingly remarked, “I suppose, like all men who have been married before, your husband sometimes talks about his first wife?”

“Oh, not any more, he doesn’t,” the other replied. “What stopped him?”

“I started talking about my next husband.”

BirthdaysSomehow I missed

announcing the birthday of Jett Henderson, a friend of mine who celebrated his birthday last Saturday, Oct. 22.

Having birthdays this week are Morgan Morris on Saturday, Oct. 29; and Amber Justice and Ashley Justice on Sunday, Oct. 30.

We have several churches in the Buffalo community. I would be grateful if someone from each church would mail to me, or email me, a list of birthdays/anniversaries for each month from your church. Special thanks goes to Bruce Betenbaugh, who gives to me his list at Buffalo Baptist Church.

A birthday is a special day indeed. A Birthday Boy/Girl should really be honored for their special day.

Did you know that there are many Buffalonians who have two (2) birth-days? That’s right. Do you know why?

Prayer ConcernsA friend of mine, Jett

Henderson, is having a dif-ficult time with his medical situation. I ask my readers to please keep him in your prayers for God’s healing. I know that there are many people who are special to

us who are in medical situ-ations and need prayer. I do not know who these per-sons are, but God knows (Psalm 139). That is the important thing. If you know someone enduring a medical situation, let me assure you that PRAYER DOES HELP. Even doc-tors have agreed that prayer is a powerful medical tool for healing. These persons are depending on us to hold them up to God in prayer. That is what a real friend would do, right?

Folks, let’s unite in prayer for our country. Just turn on the television any night and see the chaos that all around us. I just saw where the “Occupy Wall Street” has now spread to many cities in our country. We even have an “Occupy Columbia” now. Let’s real-ly pray that somehow this situation can be diffused before any violence occurs. The promoters of these “movements” are pres-ently promoting peaceful protesting and stirring up the emotions of the mass-es. But a few “wackos” could really start a revolu-tion across our nation. And that violence will escalate and many people will suf-fer. But there is a way for America to be saved.

God gave us this prom-ise, but for this promise to be fulfilled, Christians everywhere will have to join in serious and con-tinuous prayer. God prom-ised, “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive

their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Now, the choice is ours: Pray for repentance or con-tinue to disobey God and witness the destruction of America as we know it. Pray now or Pay later.

Do You Know “Whiners?”

It is probably true that we all know people who like to whine. Whining gets them attention and sym-pathy. From what I see in pictures and on television, there is too much beau-ty in this world to lose time whining. So, here is a prayer that we may not be like all the “whiners” out there.

“God, forgive me when I whine, with eyes to see the sunset glow, feet to take me wherever I go, and hands to hold the dearest to me, the world truly is mine. God don’t let me whine!” Amen… and Amen!

Thought of the WeekHave a blessed day and

remember to be a blessing.Live well, love much,

laugh often.Never grow a wishbone

where a backbone ought to be.

If You Have Good News

When you see, hear, or make news, email your news to me at [email protected], call me at 864-424-9338, mail your news to me at POB 128, Buffalo, or stop me on the street. When you celebrate good things in your life, I would like to share that with the good people of Buffalo and Union County.

Until next week, may God bless you richly … and GO TIGERS!

BUFFALO NEWS FOR YOUBy AUBREY PARKS

CRIMEContinued from Page 2

Howard Metcalf — Director of the South Carolina Division of Veterans’ Affairs — called South Carolina one of the most veteran-friendly states, serving over 400,000 veterans.

“It’s all about giving back to those who have given to this country,” Metcalf said.

He also said the state office and 46 county offices act as advocates for veterans in ways such as accompanying them at hearings and helping them avoid some of the confus-ing “red tape.”

“We do this every

day,” Metcalf said. “We are advocates. The federal office pays the benefits, but it’s the state office’s responsibility to make veterans aware of these benefits.”

He said approximately $1.8 billion was paid to veterans in South Carolina last year through benefits.

“The reason we have been able to do more is Gov. Haley has proven to be veteran-friendly as well,” Metcalf added. “We have done more in the last eight months than we did in the last four years when it comes to dealing with veteran issues. When Gov. Haley took office, she requested information from each veteran service office and

county office about how to better serve our veter-ans. That has never been done before by any gov-ernor.”

Metcalf also said many of the counties in South Carolina are really step-ping up, although Union County has always been at the forefront pushing for veterans’ benefits.

Annual Veterans Day celebration activities will take place in Union on Nov. 11. Look for more information pertaining to those activities in upcom-ing editions of The Union Daily Times or at www.uniondailytimes.com.

The vampire: A historic and cinematic viewBy John W. Whitehead

“The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.”

— Dr. Abraham Van Helsing

Halloween is associ-ated with many strange creatures, but none more so than the vampire. To most people, the vampire is nothing more than a myth-ic monster popularized in movies, television, books and so on. Yet the vampire, an amalgamation of ancient lore woven through with sex, fear, danger and gore, is no mere Hollywood cre-ation.

Indeed, stories about this bloodsucking fiend have been told throughout the world for centuries, perhaps as long as tales have been told. Much of the legend surrounding vampires encompasses the figure of Dracula who was a historic individual. Vlad Dracul, the ruler of Wallachia in Transylvania, lived in the mid-1400s. The Romanian word “dracul” means dragon. Thus, he was called little dragon. Dracula impaled thousands of his own countrymen (some have put the number as high as 100,000). He also impaled and roasted alive many more of his arch-ene-my Turks. Later captured, released to domesticity and finally having his head sev-

ered in battle, Vlad Dracula served, with other tales of gore, as a model of sorts for Stoker’s Dracula.

The way we portray vampires has also under-gone a dramatic makeover. At one time, the vampire was portrayed as grotesque and demonic in appearance. That changed with the rise in popularity of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897), which was success-fully translated to theater and film, and resulted in a transformation of the vam-pire from a hideous demon to a suave, sophisticated, handsome, well-dressed man. As a result, today, the vampire, along with his beautiful, seductive sisters of the night, is primarily portrayed by Hollywood, theater, television and liter-ature mills as an attractive, alluring emissary, for the dark side. However, while history and literature have contributed greatly to the popularity of this underdog who fights and fights again but can never win against the forces of God and men, the vampire’s place in pop culture owes much to film.

There have been more vampire films made than any other genre, perhaps because there is something in a vampire’s character that is reflective of us all. After all, the image of the vampire is forever shifting

and changing, reflecting not itself but our own fears and secret longings. The vampire casts no reflection in the mirror. He doesn’t have to—after all, it’s our own faces we see when we gaze into the vampire’s eyes.

The following are ten of my favorite vampire films:

Nosferatu (1922). F. W. Murnau’s silent film is the first cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It remains one of the creepiest and most atmo-spheric versions. Remade by Werner Herzog in 1979.

Dracula (1931). The mother of all American vampire films, this classic stars Bela Lugosi, a legend-ary vampire who terrorizes the countryside in search of human blood. Despite its vintage, it is still fine viewing. Dwight Frye is excellent as Renfield. What would Halloween be with-out this movie?

Rabid (1977). After undergoing plastic sur-gery, a young girl (Marilyn Chambers) develops a strange lesion in her armpit. She soon devel-ops a craving for human blood. Directed by David Cronenberg. Very violent.

Fright Night (1985). A teen discovers that his new next-door neigh-bor is really a vampire. With help from friends, he

seeks to destroy the blood-sucker. But the vampire (Chris Sarandon) learns of their plans and fights back. Roddy McDowell is fine in support.

The Lost Boys (1987). A divorced mom and her two boys move to a California town. Soon the boys are drawn in by a group of rabble-rous-ing teens who are real-ly vampires. One of the more hip vampire flicks that has the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) working together for the first time. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Violent.

Near Dark (1987). In order to become a full-blooded bloodsucker, Caleb—a farm boy who is a vampire in transition—has to kill and feed. He hooks up with a small band of close-knit, vicious vam-pires whose main interest is feeding on humans, but Caleb is a reluctant blood-sucker. Fine performanc-es from Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen. Violent.

Vampire’s Kiss (1988). A pretentious yuppie (Nicolas Cage) morphs into a psychotic and becomes an ambivalent vampire. Jennifer Beals is great in support. An adept psychological look at vam-pirism. Violent.

Cronos (1993). The vampire is a small, egg-

shaped device that pos-sesses an appetite for blood. Finding its way into an antiques store, it sinks its hooks into the owner and passes on its passion for the red stuff. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Violent.

The Addiction (1995). After being bitten by a vampire, a Ph.D. candi-date (Lili Taylor) devel-ops a ferocious appetite for human blood. Vampirism here is paralleled with drug addiction. Directed by Abel Ferrara. Violent.

Blade (1998). Blade (Wesley Snipes) is a half-human/half-vampire who seeks out and eliminates his vampire kindred. Soon Blade is battling to pre-vent a vampire apocalypse. Stephen Dorff is fine in support. Very violent.

Enjoy but beware. The vampire walks among us!

Manliness in a canDr Pepper Ten is low-cal, but none dares call it ‘diet’

By Jim HightowerIf you worry that American cor-

porations have lost the innovative, can-do edge necessary to compete in today’s global economy, you need to spend some time with Dr Pepper.

I don’t mean a shrink, but the soft-drink. It’s a brand that, let’s face it, has seemed a bit stodgy. But — Pow! — no more. Meet Dr Pepper Ten, a brand-new concoc-tion that promises to deliver the impossible: a macho diet soda. How’s that for innovation?

It seems that the honchos over at the Dr Pepper Snapple Group

have done intensive market analy-sis and found that men think of diet drinks as…well, girly. So they flinch at buying them.

No sweat, said the corporate alchemists, we’ll make a manned-up soda that has only 10 calories, but still contains a manly dose of real sugar and other stuff. It’s low-cal, but none may dare call it “diet.”

Corporate officials won’t dis-close what’s in the formula that supposedly will make men salivate for a can of Ten, but the key ingre-dient seems to be raw huckster-ism. The pepped-up Dr Pepper is

being launched with a massive, testosterone-infused ad campaign that bluntly proclaims: “It’s not for women.”

TV ads will run on all networks during college football games, and the promos will reek of machismo, showing men — real men — in a jungle battling snakes. Also, instead of the gentle bubbles on Dr Pepper’s regular diet can, the cans of Ten are gunmetal grey — with silver bullets. Pow!

In case ladies still don’t get the point that this is a manly man’s drink, they might go to Dr Pepper Ten’s Facebook page. There,

they’ll find a virtual shooting gal-lery that invites members of the male species to fire virtual bul-lets at such feminine symbols as lipstick and high heels. Is this fun, or what?

Hey, China, you think you’re the new economic power on the globe, but we’ve now got Dr Pepper on steroids. Well, let’s see you top that.

Jim Hightower is a radio commentator, writer, and public speaker. He’s also editor of the populist newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown.

My child returned to the seat next to me sooner than I had expected. I had given him permis-sion to navigate his way through the crowd so he could discard his sticky snack napkin and then go wash his hands.

“Did you wash your hands?” I asked suspi-ciously as he sat down.

“Yep. In the water fountain,” he proudly informed me. He was extremely pleased with his newly discovered one-stop solution for both quenching your thirst and washing up. He held up his still moist hands for me to inspect.

My husband and I exchanged frowns before we both started the necessary discussion that followed: only wash your hands at the sink

and use soap and then don’t dry your hands on your clothes. The 6-year-old promised to keep his

hands out of the water fountain and use the sink. But we’re still working on the steps of washing your hands to really remove dirt and germs.

Soon the season for colds and other ill-nesses will be in high swing. The season for large group gatherings for meals and other food-related social gatherings will also

begin. Both these lend themselves to a quick refresher on hand wash-ing how-to’s for the whole family (even the 6-year-old boys.)

Be diligent to wash your hands when they look dirty or you know

they have become contaminated, such as:

• Anytime you cough or sneeze•Take out the trash• Before and after handling raw

meat,• Before preparing food for oth-

ers, and before you eatObviously, this is not an all

inclusive list.Here are the 1-2-3s of hand

washing:• Wet your hands with warm

water• Lather with a generous amount

of soap and scrub your hands at least 20 seconds

• Rinse your hands completely free of suds

• Dry your hands 100 percent dry on a clean towel, preferably a paper towel that can be discarded

If you are in public, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to

open the door when leaving the restroom. Reason being, the per-son who left the restroom before you might have completely skipped washing their hands.

Contingency fund to the rescueDear Mary: I have been

working on your prin-ciples of debt-proof liv-ing for several years, and things have been getting better. My contingency fund, while not filled yet, is growing. Currently, I have about $2,000 saved.

Yesterday, I had a car accident. I must come up with the $1,000 deduct-ible to get my car fixed. I don’t want to put it on my credit card, even though the interest is only 7.99 percent. I have enough in my contingency fund, but it will kill me to use about half of what I have saved. I have no choice when it comes to fixing the car — I have to get it repaired. Should I use my contin-gency fund or put it on a credit card, and then pay

it off quickly? — Holly, California

Dear Holly: Use the money in your Contingency Fund to pay for this unexpected emer-gency. Because you have read my book “Debt-Proof Living,” you know that the purpose of your con-tingency fund is to help you to take care of your own emergencies. Use it now, and be grateful. You are financially prepared for this life event. That means

the plan is working. You should never pay with a credit card if you have a way to avoid it. While the interest rate may be low in the world of credit cards, 7.99 percent interest is a terrible price to pay for not being prepared for the unexpected events of life.

Now, instead of having to write checks to a credit card company to pay off your insurance deductible, you can save like crazy to put the money back into your contingency fund.

When you have money, you have options. Being broke rids you of those options. You should feel good knowing that you are not at the mercy of the credit card company. Your diligence has given you the option to fund your own

emergency.Dear Mary: My daugh-

ter has a letterman’s jacket that has real leather sleeves and a wool body. Our reg-ular dry cleaner doesn’t want to clean it because of the leather sleeves, and the leather cleaner doesn’t want to clean it because of the wool-blend body. Do you have any suggestions on how I might spot clean it at home? — Toni, email

Dear Toni: I checked with several manufacturers including LogoSportsware at www.LogoSportswear.com, who tell me the leather sleeves in these jackets are typically spe-cially treated to do well with dry cleaning. Many years ago, I had my son’s jacket dry cleaned with-out harm. You might con-

sider asking your best dry cleaner to allow you to sign a release of liability form. Just understand that if something should go wrong, you will not have any recourse. But what do you have now? A dirty jacket. I believe I’d take that risk.

The first freshvegetable

When warm weatherbegins to be steady, that isthe indication that freshasparagus will soon beavailable in our area.

Asparagus is fairly ex-pensive during winterm o n t h s .But whenSpring ar-rives, theprice fallsto a reason-able leveland aspara-gus shop-pers areable to enjoy the vegetablein abundance.

The nutritional attrib-utes of asparagus are asappealing as its flavor. 6spears, a typical servingsize, have only 22 caloriesand about 60% the dailyrequirement for folic acid.Folic acid, one of the B vi-tamins, is best known forthe role it plays in neuraltube defect prevention induring pregnancy.

When purchasing freshasparagus, look for bun-dles with stalks that areapproximately the samediameter. This will ensurethat the stalks cook in thesame amount of time. As-paragus tips should betightly closed with ab-solutely no signs of decay(slick or mushy.)

Typically, asparagus issold in standing water.This is done because as-paragus will continue togrow after harvest ifplaced upright with thecut ends in shallow water.Lack of water on the otherhand, will yield a droopywilted product.

When you purchasefresh asparagus, the bestresults are achieved when

the vegetable is cookedthe same day. If cookingthe same day is not possi-ble, store it at home bywashing in gently underrunning water to removeany grit and then wrap-ping a moist paper towelaround the cut end of the

stalks before placing thebundle in the refrigerator.Stored in the manner, as-paragus will remain ingood condition for at least3 days.

Asparagus is easy tocook. Make sure to trimaway the woody, lowerportion of the stem priorto cooking. There is noamount of cooking thatwill suffice to make thewoody portion an accept-able texture.

When ready for cook-ing, fresh asparagus isbest when given minimalpreparation. Sautéing,boiling, roasting, mi-crowaving, and grillingare all options. When suf-ficient heat has been ap-plied to the vegetable, itwill turn brilliant greenand be tender crisp. Just asprinkle of salt and per-haps a tiny splash of oliveoil and the asparagus isready to serve.

For more informationon selecting and prepar-ing asparagus, check outthe Clemson UniversityHome and Garden Centera twww.clemson.edu/hgicand look for fact sheet#4248.

Observations from countycouncil’s Blue Laws discussionDear Editor,

Last night (Wednesday, March 2)I attended the Newberry CountyCouncil meeting.

One of the main topics was theabolishment of “Blue Laws” inNewberry County.

Two individuals spoke concern-ing this issue. One was a younglady who very eloquently spokeagainst abolishing the law, and onegentleman who spoke to the practi-cality of abolishing it.

I would like to make three obser-vations concerning this meeting.

First— As I recall, before Christmaslast year Wal-Mart approached Coun-cil with a request to recend the law forI think one day so they could capturethe last minute sales before Christmas.

They had dropped the ball, andgotten their request in too late forcouncil to conform with the neces-sary readings and public meetingrules, so their request was not evenconsidered at that time.

Now, just a few months later wehave simply abolished the law.Somehow there seems to be some-thing amiss with this picture.

I continue to find myself wonder-ing how many brush strokes WalMart contributed to this “master-piece”, but certainly that is privilegedinformation, and simple “People”like you and I will never know.

Second—I wonder if council consid-ered that now Wal-Mart will be sellingtheir full line of merchandise (with theexception of alcohol) every day, all day,and other merchants knowing thatWal-Mart is drawing shoppers out onSunday morning will no longer be ableto justify delaying their Sunday open-

ing to 1 p.m. and will begin keepingregular hours seven days a week in anattempt to attract some of those shop-pers into their establishments.

This is fine, except for the em-ployees who work for these compa-nies that regularly attend church onSunday before reporting for jobsthey so badly need.

These folks will most probablysoon find themselves faced with adecision between job and church.

Third—It struck me last nightthat there seemed to be some folksmissing from the meeting that I feltshould have been there.

Where were the representativesfrom the various churches in thecounty? No parishioners, no minis-ters….Hummmmmm.

I guess its just not that importantany more…surely council knows best,and besides there’s so many impor-tant things to do on Wednesday night.

I know one minister was feedinghis flock, and I am sure many oth-ers were busy conducting Wednes-day evening prayer services.

Sure hope they added a prayer con-cerning this situation. Soon this willall be over, forgotten and not evenwritten in the history books because itsimply was not important enough foranyone to be concerned over.

Then, as you pass through thedoors of that big box on the corner,listen carefully…..hear it?

The melodious sounds of thatwonderful old hymn…with wordssomething like…we shall open ourdoors rejoicing, bringing in thesheaves……OH, you didn’t knowthat some places sell a special ren-dition of that song?

County Council does.Sincerely,

William R. EhneyNewberry

Ways to help lower cholesterol for heart healthCardiovascular disease

is the leading killer of Americans, affecting one in three people, accord-ing to the American Heart Association (AHA). And, the problem may be get-ting worse, as a new study from the AHA predicts that those who have heart disease are expected to increase to more than 40 percent of Americans by 2030.

This prediction doesn’t have to be reality.

One of the major risk factors for heart disease

is high cholesterol, which may be lowered by eating a heart-healthy diet and exercising.

“Heart disease runs in my family so I understand first-hand the role that genetics play in choles-terol and overall health. But maintaining a heart healthy diet and choosing foods that may actively help lower cholesterol are the simplest, most effec-tive things people can do for heart health,” says Dr. Travis Stork, ER physi-cian and co-host of the TV

show “The Doctors.”To help educate people

on easy ways to reduce cholesterol, Dr. Stork has teamed up with Cheerios to share helpful tips.

Food Choices Are Key

Because heart health risks can be modified by diet, eating foods low in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol is important.

And, the soluble fiber in oats, known as beta glu-can, has been shown to help lower cholesterol.

See HeALTH, Page 8

Dear Annie: My hus-band, “Harry,” and I have been married for 32 years. Recently, he lost his job because of disability. I work two jobs to support the family.

Six months ago, Harry suggested we sell our house and move to his old hometown two hours away. I refused because of my jobs and our chil-dren, who live near us. Harry says he spends too much time alone while I work. He also doesn’t like that I have the grandchil-dren over, saying I care more for them (and my job) than I do for him.

I know he feels bad because he cannot work, and I have tried to find him hobbies. He has been visiting his hometown twice a week. At first, I thought he had someone else on the side, but he says he just likes to be there. It’s comfortable. Now he says he is going to move to his hometown without me. He told me he still wants to “date” and stay in our home once a week so he can see the grandchildren and work on our marriage.

I am confused. It seems Harry isn’t sure he’s still in love with me. Now I will have to find a third job just to make the house payment. I am so hurt and angry. What should I do? — Nervous Nellie

Dear Nellie: We think Harry is depressed and adrift. His hometown pro-vides a soothing cocoon and a reminder of bet-ter times. Right now, you need to consider your own welfare. We rec-ommend you talk to an attorney to make sure you are protected. You may need to sell the house and move into a smaller, more affordable place. Decide whether you wish to “date” Harry, relocate to his hometown or divorce him. Some short-term counseling could help with these decisions, and although it would be use-ful for Harry to go with you, if he refuses, please go without him.

Dear Annie: I share a job with “Joan,” my co-worker. We each know what tasks have to be done, and together, we are responsible for making sure everything gets done. Frequently, when Joan is off doing one thing, I will start on another. I am not the type to sit around doing nothing until she is free to start the next task.

When she returns, she invariably says, “I can help with that,” in a tone that conveys the message that I shouldn’t have start-ed without her. I never know how to respond. I’ve said, “Sure,” but what I really want to say is, “You don’t need an invitation.” However, I don’t think that would go over well.

Today, a phone call needed to be made. Joan sent me a note asking about it, and I took care of it. She then confronted me, saying she would have done it herself but I “took over.” She has been doing this job longer than I have, so why does she seem so insecure? What can I do when this happens again? — Diana in Detroit

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011:

This year you sparkle and express high energy. You could be over-whelmed by all the possibilities. Your biggest challenge will be choosing the appropriate course. You might feel that a boss carries grudges and can be dif-ficult. You might want to become your own boss. If you are single, you meet many potential sweeties. While you are choosing the person, ask yourself what type of relationship you want. If you are attached, remember your partner -- he or she deserves your time and attention. Be sensitive to his or her needs. SCORPIO pushes you hard.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Remind others of the very

fiery and abrupt personality you can manifest. Allow your creativity to fill in the blanks. A gesture later today could patch up any disagreement. Also allow someone else to demonstrate more creativity. Tonight: Let your hair down. Relax with a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH If you can stay open to

extremely assertive people, you will feel OK by the end of the process. A family member could be difficult beyond what you imagine. Your gentle persuasion will win out. You will be able to be heard, but perhaps not immediately. Tonight: Let another per-son choose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)HHHH Your imagination takes

another twist or turn. You might feel as if someone doesn’t hear your point of view. As a result, you could lose your temper. You also show the ability to soften an associate’s hard stance. This, too, will pass. Stay centered. Tonight: Make it easy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)HHHHH Allow greater creativity

to flow into your work. Be careful with spending, as you could go overboard. Express your caring in a manner in which the other party can hear it. Try to use your imagination and under-standing, and this person’s verbal style. Tonight: Having fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHH Anchor in and get to the

bottom of the problem. You could be questioning how to handle your frus-tration and perhaps anger. You know what is necessary, or so you think. Plan on going down this path solo, if possible. A family member or room-mate can be supportive. Tonight: Head

home. Put your feet up.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)HHHH Keep talking and open-

ing doors. Suppressing your feelings would be a mistake, as they will come out. Choose to express your dis-comfort in a manner in which others can respond to. Work on being more expressive and vulnerable. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will want to make

a difference. Others might alternate between coaxing, manipulating and a saccharine attitude. Partially because you are hip, none of this will get past you. Take your time making a decision about how to handle your finances and an investment. Tonight: Tumbling into the weekend spirit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be causing more

problems for yourself than you realize. What you do might be in sharp con-trast with what you say. Get feedback, especially if you don’t seem to get the appropriate reactions. Tonight: Let your magnetism speak.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)HH Rethink a personal mat-

ter. Much is going on in your mind, but your ideas might not be ripe. Brainstorm with a trusted friend, and ideas will flourish. What emerges could be one of your best ideas. Tonight: Vanish for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHH You might want to rethink

a situation involving a meeting, and perhaps a personal wish or goal, with greater care. In a professional matter, you’ll gain support if you explain your case more clearly. A partner or loved one expresses frustration. Tonight: Meet where people are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHH Others think you might be

the best person to shoulder a respon-sibility. Do you have the time? The desire? A partner or set of loved ones could be most upset by your choosing to take on any more. Are you sure this is what you want? Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Take an overview and

understand what is motivating an associate or someone in your daily life. You might feel frustrated. The smart move is to detach and gain more understanding. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music after calling a distant friend.

Beta glucan is found in familiar foods such as Cheerios cereal and oat-meal, and helps rid the body of some LDL or “bad” cholesterol. It acts like a sponge in the diges-tive tract to soak up choles-

terol, helping to naturally remove it from the body.

To garner benefits from beta glucan, it is recom-mended that you eat three grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, such as Cheerios which has one gram per serving. Eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and choles-terol, this may reduce the

risk of heart disease.Other foods that may

actively help lower heart disease risk include certain fish, such as salmon and tuna, that are high in a “good fat.”

And foods contain-ing at least 0.65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total

intake of at least 1.3 grams, also may reduce the risk of heart disease when eaten as part of a heart-healthy diet.

“When doctors tell patients they have high cholesterol, they often receive information about the things they cannot or should not eat,” says Susan J. Crockett, PhD, RD, FADA and leader

of the General Mills Bell Institute. “We think it’s important to empower peo-ple with the simple things they can do that may help lower their cholesterol.”

With this in mind, the company is donating $200,000 to WomenHeart, the nation’s only patient centered organization dedi-cated to educating women

about living a heart healthy life (www.womenheart.org). For more on how Cheerios may help lower cholesterol, visit Cheerios.com.

A few simple lifestyle changes, such as becoming more active and making smarter food choices, may help improve your heart health.

Dear Diana: Some people need constant reassurance that they are valued. You don’t have to cater to Joan’s insecurity, but it helps to get along with co-workers. Tell her you aren’t trying to “take over” and that you simply want to get the job done and divide the work so neither of you is overex-tended. Inform her before mak-ing a phone call to ensure you aren’t repeating something she has already done. Periodically ask her opinion. Reassure her that the office would collapse without her. It requires little effort for you to give her the impression that she is important. Ignore the rest.

Dear Annie: I chuckled while reading the letter from “Stressed Out by Picky Eaters,” whose family members drive her crazy with their food preferences. It brought back memories of an old friend who had a sign in her kitchen: “You have two choices for dinner: Take it or leave it!” — That Works in My House, Too

Voter ID ads overlook absentee optionCOLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —

Ads, posters and postcards the state has prepared about the state’s new photo identifica-tion law for voting leave out a key fact: mail-in absentee voters don’t need a photo ID.

Instead, they declare in blar-ing red type “VOTING NOW REQUIRES PHOTO ID” and tell voters to make sure they have one of five forms of identification. But the state’s laws on absentee voting haven’t changed and the new photo ID law only applies to people voting in person.

State Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said that’s why educational materials don’t mention that absentee vot-ing doesn’t require a photo ID.

“The reason it’s not there is that there’s no change to the absentee-by-mail process. The materials focus on changes,” Whitmire said.

Republican Gov. Nikki Haley signed the bill into law in May that requires people casting bal-lots to show poll workers a state-issued driver’s license or ID card; a U.S. military ID or a U.S. pass-port.

Supporters say photo identi-fication is required to curb voter fraud. Opponents say supporters have never been able to show ID fraud and that the law will sup-press voter turnout, especially among blacks.

The U.S. Justice Department has spent months reviewing the law. Justice has to approve election law changes in South Carolina under the Voting Rights Act because of past abuses. The commission’s drafts of ads, post-ers and post cards are included in a response to Justice Department questions filed Wednesday by state Attorney General Alan Wilson.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups are chal-lenging the law.

ACLU voting rights lawyer Katie O’Connor said the Election Commission’s education materi-als “are confusing, incomplete, and potentially misleading” and fail to offer the absentee voting option.

“As they are now written, the materials will leave voters with the impression that they will need ID to vote, without exception,” O’Connor said. “And this impression is simply incor-rect. It’s frustrating to see the state spending so much taxpayer money on unhelpful public edu-cation for an unnecessary law.”

Whitmire said he’ll contin-ue to tell reporters that voters can cast mail-in absentee ballots without photographic identifica-tion. “I also wouldn’t rule out its inclusion in printed education

materials in the future,” he said.In South Carolina, registered

voters can vote absentee for nearly a dozen reasons, including working on Election Day, being disabled, 65 or older, taking care of someone who is sick or being in jail awaiting trial.

Absentee voting is mentioned in an updated pamphlet outlin-ing voting in South Carolina. However, that pamphlet doesn’t mention that no photographic identification is required when casting an absentee ballot by mail.

Even with the new law, South Carolina’s voter registra-tion offices won’t require photo identification to register to vote. While people may provide a photo ID, they are only required to provide a Social Security num-ber and some other proof resi-dence, such as a utility bill, bank statement or paycheck.

Teaching Fellows wins new award for innovationA scholarship program to

draw South Carolina’s top high school students into teach-ing became the first winner Wednesday of a new award rec-ognizing effective education pro-grams in the state.

South Carolina Teaching Fellows won the first WhatWorksSC Award for Excellence, presented by Furman University’s Riley Institute and the nonprofit South Carolina

Future Minds, which coordi-nates private support for public schools.

The program run by the state Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement receives the $10,000 prize from BB&T. The two other finalists receive $1,000 each from the Riley Institute, said Courtenay Williams, insti-tute project director.

Those two are a reading pro-

gram at Clinton Elementary in Lancaster, which its principal credits for a 23-percentage point jump in students’ reading scores over the last few years, and Clemson University’s Reading Recovery Training Center, which trains elementary teachers to help struggling readers.

The awards ceremony fea-tured videos of the finalists’ programs before the winner was announced. Speakers included

Richard Riley, former two-term governor in the ‘80s and U.S. secretary of state under President Bill Clinton. The award’s com-plete title is named after him and his late wife, Tunky.

The WhatWorksSC Award, to be presented annually, is meant to recognize effective education programs in hopes they’ll be copied or expanded statewide, organizers told The Associated Press last week.

HISTORYContinued from Page 2

The event was timed to lead up to National Hunger Awareness Week, which is Nov. 12-20. Each year, one week before Thanksgiving, National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against

Hunger and Homelessness co-sponsor National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. During this week, a number of schools, communities and cities take part in a nation-wide effort to bring greater awareness to the problems of hunger and homeless-ness.

“Underpainting is a technique that gives you a monochrome version of the scene that you’re painting,” he explained. “The closer you can get to a black and white image, the better off you’ll be. I spend a lot of my time underpainting. That allows me to spend less time adding the color to finish the painting.”

The “Painting With Coffee” group meets each Tuesday from 10 a.m.. until 12:30 p.m. at the UCAC Gallery on

Main Street. Most meet-ings are free painting time with artists working in all media welcome to sit in.

“We’re trying to have one workshop each month with our free painting time taking up the rest of the meetings,” said Betsy Skipper. “Each of our members is responsi-ble for a workshop; either conducting it themselves or getting someone else to come in. Sally Parker was responsible for get-ting Gib to come in for this one.”

Skipper, a local art-ist who works mainly in watercolors, started the “Painting With Coffee”

program in conjunction with the Union County Artists Guild.

“We have a great time at our Tuesday morn-ing meetings,” continued Skipper. “And we have room for more artists who want to get together with us for a fun, informative time.”
