Why Earth Visions?Here's why...... !!!As a woman wanting balance, peace, and well-beingin my life I found it in many forms. One of those is inthe form of exercise. Not just "exercise", but movement. Ilearned how to move my body, my mind, and my spirit. !

!!About six years ago I discovered Earth Visions, Sam,Novella, and a group of the best friends in the world.What I expected was to get t and feel better. What Ididn't expect was the transformation that happened tomy spirit and soul. It was that transformation that brought the peace and balance I wanted and needed. It'snot just exercise it's a way of life. ! -----Teana Kivett !

You say you will never forget where you were when !you heardthe news On September 11, 2001. !Neither will

I was on the 110th oor in a smoke lled room ! with aman who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I !held

his ngers steady as he dialed. I gave him

the!peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it ! is OK..I am ready to go.' !I was with his wifewhen he called as she fed ! breakfast to their chil-

dren. I held her up as she ! tried to understand hiswords and as she realized ! he wasn't coming homethat night. !I was in the stairwell of the 23rd oorwhen a !woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been!knocking on the door of your heart for 50years!' I said. ! 'Of course I will show you the wayhome - only believe in Me now.' !I was at the baseof the building with the Priest ! ministering to theinjured and devastated souls. !

The WaterPark is called Lake Juno Water Park, andis located just south of Greensboro. Lake Juno Water Park is areas premiere familydestination for now over 37 years. Lake Juno features a full day of fun for the en-tire family whether you make a splash inthe cool blue waves, take a thrilling ridedown any of the water slides, or just pad-

dle boat around the lake. TheWater Park has acres of ac-tion packed attractions, withsomething fun for everyone.With a large lake, pool, andwater slides available. You'll be sure to have a fun day at

lake Juno. The park includes,a picnic area, paddle boats,and camping. There are atotal of 40 campsites and allinclude water/electric andsewer. You can bring yourown tent or camper for $20per day (additional for air)or if you want to rent one of the many permanent camp-

ers for $150 aweek. All this inthe beautifulcountry side,with clear blueskies hailingdown upon itspatrons. Lake Juno Water park is owned andoperated by alocal family. Jun-ior Jenkins,owner and op-

erator, says this is his life. Iasked him how this all cameinto being. Well he said, Back over 40 years ago a group of about 5 families from Liberty,Greensboro, Statesville andGraham would all come to-gether several times a year atWhite Lake for get together. Atthat time two things was play-ing through my mind. Onewhy can we not have a placecloser to home for all of us and

second, my parents getting onup in years needed help on the

farm. That was the birth of the idea. Iwas lucky my par-ents, George Jenkins Sr and IrisHill Jenkins wasable to see my

dream come truewhen I open it.While building thepark, I continuedto help on the fam-ily farm. Mainly being a tobaccofarm but also rais-ing numerousother crops. Jun-

ior continued to ex-plain, I have hadtwo chances to sell but at both times I just could not, as Isaid this is my life. The Water Park iscontinuously up-graded and im-proved to create aneven more excitingexperience every

time a guest returns. Maintenance is apriority and they provide very a safeenvironment. The park is supervised by quality staff. Admission is inex-pensive and a whole family can easilyhave a day of fun here for under40.00 dollars which often is the ad-mission for just one person at thelarger water parks. The cost for age 11and under is $4 and ages 12 and overis $11, which gets you in the park.Food, indoor game room and somerides are for additional cost. The park is open most days during the sum-

A little nostalgia 'APRONS'For those of us OLD enough to remember theaprons that our Mothers and Grandmothers wore,this will bring back lots of memories. ! For those of you that AREN'T, just read and use your imagina-tion!

!!Remember making an apron in Home Ec? !Read below:!

!!!The History of !'APRONS'I don't think our kids !know what an apron is. !Theprincipal use of Grandma's apron was to protectthe dress underneath, because she only had a few.It was also because it was easier to wash apronsthan dresses, and aprons used less material. !Butalong with that, it served as a potholder for !re-moving !hot pans from the oven. !It was wonderful for dry-ing children's tears, and on occasion was even

used for cleaning out dirty ears.From the chickencoop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussychicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to benished in the warming oven. !!When company came, those aprons were idealhiding places for shy kids. !And when the weatherwas cold, grandma wrapped it around herarms. !Those big old aprons wiped many a perspir-ing brow, ! bent over the hot wood stove. Chipsand kindling wood were brought into the kitchenin that apron. !From the garden, it carried all sortsof vegetables. !After the peas had been-shelled, itcarried out the hulls. !In the fall, the apron wasused to bring in apples that had fallen from the

trees.When unexpected company drove up theroad, it was surprising how much furniture thatold apron could dust in a matter of seconds. !Whendinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto theporch, waved her apron, and the men folks knewit was time to come in from the elds to dinner. !Itwill be a long time before someone invents some-thing that will replace that 'old-time apron' thatserved so many purposes. !Send this to those whowould know (and love) the story aboutGrandma's aprons. !!!!!REMEMBER:Grandma used toset her hot bakedapple pies on thewindow sill tocool.!!Her grand-daughters set theirson the windowsill!to thaw. !Theywould go crazynow trying to gureout how manygerms were on thatapron. !!I don't think I evercaught anythingfrom an apron - butlove...

At the WellAt the center of the Village is adeep well of life-giving waterwhere the townspeople meet.As they draw water theirvoices blend in the culture,

society and wisdom that theyshare. Each month meet hereat the well to hear those voices.A new voice is shared thismonth.

As I was walking toward thecentral gathering spot today, Inoticed that the group waslistening intently to a man thatI had not seen before. There

were no other side conversa-tions, just this man answeringsomeones question. He seemed to be an authorityon some subject but it took a while for me to getcaught up on the topic. Apparently, he had been ascientist at a university and was explaining some-thing about food. As I got closer, it became clearhe was talking about our food system and how it isaffecting our health in bad ways. Someone thenasked why is this happening since our governmentis supposed to be protecting us from bad thingsgetting into our food. His answer was very broadand quite alarming to me.

The scientist explained that food processing is anindustry, meaning that they are in it to makemoney. And since they are a very large industry,they have the nancial support to inuence ourleaders to allow many things to happen thatshould not. Of course many of us in our Villagehave talked about our elected leaders before, how-ever this scientist was possibly indicating that ourfood might not be as healthy as our ofcials leadus to believe. Weve all heard that fast food maynot be healthy for our bodies but I always thoughtthat the food in the grocery stores was the goodstuff. I listened further. The food companies typi-cally hire a food chemist that specializes in creatingchemically the tastes and desires that will hook people so they keep buying those foods. Andthose chemicals are not even food. They also work on ways to make the processing of the foods lesscostly so the sales of the food provide better prof-its.

He began by using the soft drink beverages as anexample. Essentially everything in a soft drink is aprocessed chemical. Although some of thesechemicals are made from natural sources, they arestill changed and no longer resembling a naturalingredient. This is a very disturbing piece of in-formation since the labels on foods and drinks canoften indicate that the product has somethingnatural in it. Therefore a soft drink does not pro-vide our body with any useful nutrition, just

empty calories and chemicalsthat need to be ushed out of our bodies. Recently, some of the soft drink companies beganoffering some products that nolonger contain the high fructosecorn syrup and have gone back to sugar. So we need to realizethat both the sugar and the highfructose corn syrup are highlyprocessed and not resembling anatural ingredient. Often thediet drinks are the most dan-gerous since they have replacedthe sweetener with anotherman-made chemical that tricksthe body. When the body getstricked by these chemicals, themetabolism processes change

and the effects can go unnoticedfor a long time. We are mistak-enly led to believe that the

fewer calories, the better the drink. Opps theydidnt tell us that the nutrition also went down!

At this point, the scientist asked the group a ques-tion. How many of us know what is really in ourfoods and how these ingredients change our bod-ies? As expected, no one raised a hand. One per-son commented that it is far too complicated to

understand what is happening to our food and sowe expect the government to protect us.Hmmmm.. are we right back where we started?More on this thought soon!

Do you have something you would like to ask orsay? Send your question or story to the editor of your paper. You may be next months voice, At theWell!

Girl Scouts Unveils NewNational Brand Initiative!Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), one of the most well-known and well-loved organizations in the nation, isrevitalizing and reenergizing its brand to reach out to anew generation of girls.After extensive research anddevelopment, Girl Scouts has launched a brand cam-

paign designed to reacquaint the country with the iconicorganization and communicate the power girls have tochange the world through Girl Scouting. The branding,in the works as part of the organization's comprehensivetransformation that began in 2004, is composed of a newvisual identity, which includes a distinctive trefoil mark,revised color palette and refreshed logo. In addition, theinitiative also includes plans for a 360-degree marketingprogram that taps the online, place-based and traditionalmedia. Research revealed that while many girls and par-ents knew about Girl Scouts, they had a very limitedview. The new work is designed to let people knowabout the new and exciting things girls do every day asGirl Scouts. "The brand is refreshed and will bring girls'and their parents' attention to the wonderful leadershipexperiences and learning opportunities that Girl Scoutsoffers girls," said Susan G. Ratcliff, Interim CEO of GirlScouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont. The Girl ScoutLeadership Experience, which features a series of 15 out-comes or benets, helps every Girl Scout learn to dis-cover her own values, connect with her peers and adultsand take action to improve her community. "We con-tinue to give every girl access to life-changing experi-ences that inspire her to achieve her dreams," Ratcliff said. "We're simply repositioning Girl Scouts with a mes-sage that is relevant to girls and the lives they lead to-day." The campaign, known by the tagline What Did YouDo Today?,is also key to boosting the number of girlsand adult volunteers who participate in Girl Scoutingannually. "The campaign not only asks girls to considerhow they spend their time, but also our volunteers, whogive an incredible amount of time. We're asking girls,

their parents and volunteers to consider how they spendtheir days, and what they can do to change their world,"Ratcliff said. "A revitalized and energized brand is abso-lutely essential for us and our future growth," said KathyCloninger, Chief Executive Ofcer of GSUSA. "Aboutone out of every 10 girls participates in Girl Scouting,and that's a tremendous number when you think aboutit. But that also means that we have a great opportunityto grow, even after almost 100 years.""We have literallyrevamped our entire organization to appeal to that 90percent of girls who arent beneting from the Girl ScoutLeadership Experience. And with our new brand work,we think we have the right message at the right time,"Cloninger said.As part of the What Did You Do Today? campaign, Girl Scouts also has developed Spanish-language advertising to target the Hispanic market, oneof the fasting-growing girl populations in thecountry.With this new campaign and the projectedgrowth in overall girl population in the United States,Girl Scouts expects to see its membership increase overthe next few years. The campaign will also pave the wayfor a major effort to gain exposure during the organiza-tion's national centennial celebration in 2012.

On Sunday, September 19 at 3:00PM the Asheboro CommunityChoir will be presenting a concertof mostly southern gospel plussome contemporary music atLiberty Friends Meeting, 316Greensboro Street, Liberty, NC. ! This concert is free and open to

the public.

Don t Worry, Be Prayerful!

There was a popular song called, "Don'tWorry, Be Happy." It had a catchy tune, butit's advice was pretty empty. When you aregoing through a tough time, being told "BeHappy" isn't a lot of help! Philippians 4:6 isthe key verse that has much better advice:"Don't Worry, Be Prayerful!"

"Don't be anxious about anything, but ineverything, present your requests beforeGod..." Phil 4:6

But do we really believe God means, "Any-thing" and "Everything?" Or do we live asthough there are some exceptions to thisverse? I mean, God wasn't including the blanks on our volunteer rosters at church,was He? Or that leader at church we wishwould resign, or that parent that drives usnuts or that kid who sucks up precious time

and energy? Really? Anything and Every-thing?

Your dependence upon God is reectedmost clearly by the amount of time youspend in prayer asking for His help andsupport. If you don't pray, you are tellingGod by your actions that you don't reallyneed His help. And if you worry, you insult

Him, for you are calling Him either late or afailure.

When is the last time you were on yourknees? And I don't mean that guratively.

Just something to think about as you headinto walk of life with needs and "impossi- ble" things to accomplish.

Don't Worry, Be Prayerful!

Nullam arcu leo, facilisis ut " 19

O CThe other day I ventured into the Liberty Public Library in search of abook. I sought something old and timeless, a classic you might call it. Ileft the library with an old favorite I was supposed to read in high school,John Steinbecks Of Mice andMen. When I got home andopened the book a pungentsmell hit me. A musty, chokingodor steamed up from the pages.How old is this book? Iwondered. The only date Icould nd on the book wasrecorded in the copyrightinformation: 1937. Since thenovel was rst published in1937, I guess its possible that Iheld one of the rst copies.After doing a little more research, I learned that the publisher of this copyis no longer in business. I found the price printed on the dust jacket:

$2.45 a copy. I wonder how long ago it was that a hardback book cost$2.45? Nevertheless, I held in my hands an old, used, and seasoned book.

Thinking of books, I had a similar experience once while cleaning thePastors Study at church. As a rst step in an attempt to transform thestudy into a prayer room, I undertook the challenge of cleaning the study-turned-storage room. (Lest you think the pastor no longer studies, thepastors studying is now done in the ofce at the parsonage!) As I sortedthrough paperwork from the late 70s and 80s, Sunday school lessons,and canned food (yes, food in mason jars) I stumbled upon an old Bible.The spine was cracked, the pages were yellowed and dog-eared, and thecover was faded. But it was a Bible nonetheless.

What is it about old items such as library books and Bibles? They are sofascinatingso intriguingso mysterious. As I read through the librarybook I noticed underlined words, coffee stains, and watermarks. Whomade these marks? Was it a student? Was it someone famous? A scholar,perhaps. Or maybe a factory worker. Likewise, as I held the old Bible inmy hands I wondered who owned the Bible. I reected upon the lives thebook affected throughout the years. Who carried this Bible to churchevery Sunday? Who drew their inspiration from this particular collectionof scriptures. Whose life did this book transform? How had the soul of this Bible touched the soul of its readers? I wanted to know the storybehind the printed copy of the greatest Story ever told.Do you own old books such as these? Do you ever stop to wonder aboutthe history of these books? Where they have been? Who has ownedthem? What inuence they possess? Our churches and homes are lledwith these old, curious, and alluring books. Book, hymnals, and Biblesrest on bookcases waiting to share their history with someone, waiting toinspire the next pair of hands who pulls them from the shelf.

studiesMiranda and I moved to NC inAugust 2007 so that we could both attendgraduate school. My motive for ministryows from my love of God and desire touse the gifts God has given me for Godsglory. Through my gifts I wish to extendGods grace to others. I recall a momentwhen I was a troublesome seventh grader.My pastor took it upon himself to visit myteachers. He then spent an afternoon inconversation with me, offering guidanceand love. In my ministry I am motivatedto be for others what that pastor was forme: an instrument of Gods grace. In con-clusion I asked Who was your favorite

role model and why: St. Francisforhis dedication to the highest Christianideals and genuine desire to live his life asthe hands and feet of Christ (which iswhat the church is called to be today- thehands and feet of Christ) I enjoyed talk-ing with David and allowing LibertyLeader Newspaper readers to get to knowwho is the true man behind the words of the column.

Equal Rights For BroadbandTour Of Tables At Mount


20/28


Equal Rights For BroadbandIn Rural AreasLet Your Voice Be HeardContact your Senator or RepresentativeU.S. House of RepresentativesDear Senator orRepresentative!!!!

I am a board member of RandolphTelephone, a small,rural telecommuni-cations companylocated in NorthCarolina. We serveapproximately13,000 customersand provide a wide-array of communica-tions services includ-ing local exchange,toll, calling featuresand most impor-tantly, we are capa- ble of providing broadband service to 100% of our customer base. Beinga community-based communications provider, Ran-dolph strives to provide high-quality, affordable serviceto our customersyour constituents. Many small busi-nesses in my community depend on access to afford-able, quality broadband service to serve their custom-ers, to remain competitive with businesses in more urban areas and from around the world, and to expand

their business to new markets and customers. Withoutthe deployment of broadband with robust speeds, I fearour rural community will fall behind in terms of eco-nomic development, educational opportunities, ad-vances in health care, and quality of life. Thats why Iam extremely concerned with the FCCs NationalBroadband Plan. The plan will have serious negativeconsequences for consumers living in rural America bycreating a digital divide. This divide will be created because the plan calls for broadband speeds of 100mbps to 100 million homes in urban areas while onlysupporting 4 mbps in rural areas through the ConnectAmerica Fund. This large disparity is unacceptable,

and I urge you to contact the FCC to tell them so. Qual-ity broadband service is fundamental to sustaining and bringing high-paying jobs to our rural communities,and the FCC plan should not undercut the investmentand commitment Randolph has already made to deploy broadband service to your constituents.The NationalBroadband Plan also proposes to eliminate the compen-sation paid to Randolph by other telecommunicationsproviders who use its network. This is a signicantrevenue source for small telecommunications compa-nies. The National Broadband Plan offers only the abil-ity to increase the Subscriber Line Charge, which is al-ready $6.50 per month, and to raise local rates to re-cover the revenue shortfall. People in our rural area arealready struggling in this time of economic uncertaintyand cannot afford large increases in their telephone bills. The uncertainty concerning the National Broad- band Plan is stiing investment in rural areas. Compa-nies such as Randolph cannot continue to invest in pro-viding even better services if it has no hope of beingable to earn a return on that investment. Thank you foryour time and attention to this important matter, and Ilook forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

Tour Of Tables At MountPleasant Baptist ChurchThe Acteens of Mt Pleasant Baptist Church of Staley/Liberty plan to attend conference next summer in Or-lando.

Churchmembers took different tables to transform the tablesinto a work of art that the Biltmore Estate in Ashevillewould be jealous of. This was a class act from start tonish.

So What Is Spoon JewelryTo learn about spoon jewelry, you have to talk to LysaRicks, who is the artist behind this fast selling new itemsat Awesome Finds. Lysa stated, My fascination withglass began many years ago when I learned the craft of stained glass. ! Since then, I have explored several areasof the glass arts including mosaics, fused glass, glass blowing, lamp work and glass jewelry. ! Although, still

working in all these areas, !today !my!passion is !creatingglass and metal jewelry ranging from blown pendantsto recycling vintage silverware into unique jewelry. ! Avariety of my handmade creations can be found at Awe-some Finds in Liberty. I think it is truly remarkable to be able to take an everyday utensil and transform it intoa beautiful work of art. What more amazing is, whathistory does this old utensil hold. We will never know, but you can create new history with it, by buying apiece for you or a friend. A new heirloom maybe. Stopin at Awesome nd and see what this great new artwork looks like.

I understand that some Moon family members stayed inthe area ( Quakers). I suspect that my people moved to get out of the way of the pending Regulator actions atAlamance River.

I saw that an annual celebration is held on July 4 atSnow Camp. I'd like to connect withother's ( especially Moon's) who maybe able to help me "pick up thethreads"

When the landlordkept raising the lease on the building he wasforced to leave. Lady luck has allowed him tocome back and operate this business again. SoMarias is back to being locally owned and op-erated. The theme they are striving for is Back To The Town With Our Famous Old Style Theyput all things back to the way the people liked before. But the inside and outside is not thesame as before. The whole kitchen was totallyrenovated which allowed them to receive a 100+on their health score. You may remember before,how hot it would get in the building, well nomore, they have new HVAC. They have re-molded the outside, with cleaning up of the wa-ter fountain and creating and outdoor coveredsmoking area. They ofcially reopened up on July 5th. Did you realize they have been able tokeep the same phone number for 25 years. Theyoffer dine in, pick up or delivery. Stop in and

USED vs. LOVEDWhile a man was polishing his new car,his 4 yr old son picked up a stone andscratched lines on the side of the car. Inanger, the man took the child's hand andhit it many times; not realizing he wasusing a wrench. At the hospital, the childlost all his ngers due to multiple frac-tures. When the child saw hisfather.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dadwhen will my ngers grow back?' Theman was so hurt and speechless; he went

ack to his car and kicked it a lot of times.Devastated by his own actions.......sittingin front of that car he looked at thescratches; the child had written 'LOVE

YOU DAD'.. The next day that man com-mitted suicide. . . Anger and Love have nolimits..... Things are to be used and peopleare to be loved, but the problem in today'sworld is that, People are used and thingsare loved... During this year, let's be care-ful to keep this thought in mind: Thingsare to be used, but People are to be loved...Be yourself.... But remember actions andwords said in anger can never be taken
