Patterson Cottage Museum Corner -Brenda Heindl, Committee Member
Do you drive past the Cincro Office Furniture buildings on North Greensboro Street? Have you ever looked at the top of one of the brick buildings past the office entrance and seen the faded lettering of “1910/LIBERTY/CHAIR COMPANY”? Originally established by J.A. Martin as the Liberty Picker Stick and Novelty Company in 1910, it did not become the Liberty Chair Company officially until 1913. One of the photographs with the article shows employees of the Liberty Chair Company in front of the building with the lettering at the top. The picker sticks it originally produced were what was used on a loom to throw the shuttle back and forth in the weaving operations of cotton mills. In 1916 when a 100 horsepower generator was purchased by the company, it provided the impetus for Liberty to have electricity in 1917. Unfortunately, in February of 1926, a fire destroyed the Liberty Chair Company, but by August of 1926 they had rebuilt and were turning out sixty dozen chairs each day. Take a closer look at the building when you pass it and think about one of the many factories that once fueled Liberty’s economy. We do not have a chair from the Liberty Chair Company in our collection, but Dwight Maxwell donated a 1942 calendar from the Liberty Chair Company recently (in one of the photographs), which is an exciting addition to the collection.

Zero Hour CountdownIt's almost time for a new year, and for the past 2 of those there has been one of the best kept secrets happening for Liberty area teens. Zero Hour is back again to provide an upbeat, fun, and memorable celebration and provide parents with peace of mind that their teens are spending the holiday in a safe and positive environment. Zero Hour is put on by local youth groups and will be a great mix of games, dancing, and an inspirational message to start of 2015. The cost at the door is only $5 and there will be concessions available throughout the night. This year they are planning something new for the midnight countdown and will be bringing lots of lighting effects and video screens to really get the crowd going. The party is happening at Miracle Valley Event Center (123 S Greensboro St. in Liberty) from 9:00pm until 12:30am. If you have any questions you can call Ben Suggs at 919-548-0350 or email [email protected].

JOBSFAITH BAPTIST CHURCH HOMECOMING CELEBRATION 1965-2015Ramseur - In January of 1965, twenty-seven charter members began meeting together to establish what is now Faith Baptist Church.

A homecoming or an anniversary celebration, is a time to look back with thanksgiving. It is a time to visit with friends, both old and new. It is also a time to look forward to what the Lord has in store as we serve Him together. Please make plans to join us. Invite someone from our community that has been influenced by our ministry. Invite someone that has moved away. Invite someone you have been looking for an opportunity to introduce to our church. Come prepared to be blessed and to be a blessing.

Staley Is All Lite UpThe Christmas lights in Staley look amazing! A special "Thank you" to the Town Council and Molli for checking the bulbs, Charles Hicks, Joe Langley, Ferment Lindley, Bill Scotton and any other elves that put them on the poles, and to Charles Soheili for hooking them up...they truly are magical! Also to Janet Langley Lambert, Phil Langley and the Staley Fire Department for getting our signs up! The tree will have lights as soon as the ground dries up enough to get the truck out there without tearing up the grass. Don't forget the parade is the 13th at 2:00. Our grand Marshall is Mrs. Almetta Parks (granddaughter of Col. John Staley), we will have three bands represented, as well as many other fabulous entries and even a surprise guest riding with the town council (Hubba Hubba) and as he would say..."Thank you...Thank you very much!!!!” Message from Staley Mayor Karen Scotton

Julian United Methodist Church Seeks Community Support for Matching Funds Challenge All gifts to be matched dollar-for-dollar
Julian, N.C.—Julian United Methodist Church is pleased to be among 18 food assistance organizations across Northwest North Carolina selected to receive up to $500 each in matching funds through a challenge grant opportunity provided by Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. “Hunger is everywhere, but southeast Guilford County is an under-served area for additional food sources for families. This matching grant will enable Julian United Methodist Church to provide more food to more families in the southeast Guilford County and Liberty area,” said Katherine Wilkerson. “We are asking everyone with the means to give to make a gift, however great or small, to help us reach our goal of raising $500 by December 19, 2014. A gift of $5 will become $10 through Second Harvest Food Bank’s Matching Grant program, and help us to provide critical nutritional support for our neighbors in need.” “Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC partners with nearly 400 charitable food assistance programs across 18 counties to nourish and strengthen our communities,” said Nikki McCormick, Director of Agency Relations. “Our fall capacity grants, made possible in part through a gift from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, will help to provide additional resources to address the significant problem of hunger in southeast Guilford County and Liberty. Julian United Methodist Church is a vital resource to families and others struggling to make ends meet under a continued slow economic recovery in our area. We are pleased to be able to provide this additional support for their critical mission.” All funds will be used toward Shared Maintenance Fees/Rural Delivery Fees to obtain healthy food available at Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. While certain products are available at no fee and there are many additional benefits provided through our partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, a fee is assessed on some available products to provide modest support for Second Harvest Food Bank operations, which benefit our local community.

Remembering A P BrowerDear Friends, We lost a special person last week. The passing of Mr. Abram Pressley Brower, "A.P." brings back a flood of memories that requires sharing. He was always "Mr. Brower," to me, as I showed him the respect I was taught to provide to my teachers. He was just fine with "A.P." from students, however. Mr. Brower was one of the best teachers I ever had. He taught us Algebra II and "Advanced Math" at Eastern Randolph High School, in the late '70s. Advanced math was the highest level math we could get back then, covering trigonometry and pre-calculus. The man was, quite simply, a genius -- one of the smartest people you'd ever meet. A fully functioning engineer, who could design and build anything, found a passion for developing the minds of small-town and rural youth. He did so with wit and wisdom. He designed basketball and football plays that live on today; and even designed the press box support structure. Each day in class, we were met by a smiling (smirking?) Mr. Brower -- there was always something behind that smile. He had a mischievous streak. Class began promptly and the chalk dust began flying. By the end of first period, his gray wool pants were literally covered in chalk. There was homework every day, and a quiz every week. Some of my classmates and I always did our math homework in study hall, racing to see who could finish first; and competing for that >100 quiz score (quizzes always offered extra credit). I really don't remember it being hard -- Mr. Brower made the learning fun; and if we did our homework, we were rewarded with the ability to prove ourselves on the quiz. The quizzes were returned to us folded long-ways, with the score on the outside. I don't know why I find that striking, but it stands out. I wanted that paper back so bad- to see if I had met Mr. Brower's expectations. Mr. Brower's students went on to college well-prepared; becoming teachers, engineers, doctors, nurses, computer scientists. For those of us in engineering school, first semester calculus was mostly a review -- Mr. Brower had already covered that material. I've now had three kids of my own. They did great in school, including high level math in high school; and they, too, were blessed with a great calculus teacher. They had Advanced Placement (AP) calculus, and met that challenge; BUT, sadly, their experience didn't surpass mine, as they missed out on OUR "A.P." RIP, Mr. Brower. You are missed. Ed Brewer Eastern Randolph Class of 1979. Story By Ed Brewer

Firefighters Needed: RCC Firefighter Academy Application Deadline Dec. 19; Classes Begin Jan. 12 ASHEBORO – In this era of tight budgets for local governments, volunteer firefighters are more important than ever. Every year, fires and other emergencies take thousands of lives and destroy property worth billions of dollars. Firefighters help protect the public against these dangers by responding to fires and a variety of other emergencies, but local fire departments are in need of new recruits. RCC’s Firefighter Academy, beginning Jan. 12, will put potential firefighters on the fast track. The Academy is designed to give the student an idea of what it is like in a fire department recruit training school. It includes an aggressive physical fitness program to allow the student to be able to handle the physical demands of the fire service. Enrollment is limited, so early application is recommended. The application can be found at www.randolph.edu/fire/register/. Students will train Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., from Jan. 12 through April 7, at the Emergency Services Training Center on Old Cedar Falls Road. Applications are due by 3 p.m. on Dec. 19. All fire academy applicants must be 18 years of age prior to the start date of the fire academy. A physical agility test will be required. A medical physical is required upon acceptance and prior to the start of the Academy. The registration fee for the Firefighter Academy is approximately $180, unless you are fee exempt through affiliation with a fire department. If the student is not affiliated with a fire department, RCC will work with him/her to secure affiliation within the community. The student is responsible for uniforms, books, basic equipment, and the cost of the medical physical. For more information, contact the Emergency Services Training Center at 336-633-4165.

Run With A Purpose Success Run with Purpose’s fundraiser for NC Baptist Children’s Home was a SUCCESS! Together we raised $1,435.00! A HUGE THANK YOU TO THIS YEAR’S SPONSORS : FREEDOM FAMILY CHURCH, LIBERTY ADVISORS, CGT PHOTOGRAPHY, QUALITY VENEER CO., SOUTHERN ENTERTAINMENT,BARNEY & MARY CAMPBELL’S BODY SHOP, CLIFFORD W. ESTES CO., HAND SPEECH THERAPY, LIBERTY LEADER NEWSPAPER, RISEN RADIO.FM, AND FFC’S ELEVATION STATION! A very special thank you to those of you who made personal donations, prayers, and race-day support. The large check was presented this week by Don Schenkel, RWP’s Greensboro Marathon runner, at FFC’s 10:30 Worship Service to Mrs Karen Slate, a representative from NC Baptist Children’s Homes. She gave a short presentation on how their ministries continue to bring hope and healing to children and families in crisis by the help of God and supporters like those who helped with the RWP fundraiser. Don shared part of his testimony, his time and placement in the marathon race, and what he learned throughout his journey of starting the Run With Purpose Foundation. Don finished 125th overall out of 280 runners and 14th in his age group; a race time of 4 hours and 35 minutes. Simply put, He said running this race reminded him of how hard this life is, that there will be times of hills and valleys, but the most important thing is that “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me “ (Philippians 4:13) and “…with God all things are possible.”(Matthew 9:26)
RCC Small Business Center Director Rookie of the Year ASHEBORO– Daniel K. Farmer, director of Randolph Community College’s Small Business Center, was one of two individuals to win a Rookie of the Year award from the North Carolina Small Business Center Network during their recent annual conference. The other winner was Tiffany Henry of Southwestern Community College. The Rookie of the Year is one of two awards given by the Small Business Center Network that is considered an “individual award” rather than a “center award.” It is open to new directors who have been with the Network two years or less.

Since joining RCC in 2013, Farmer has achieved Level 3 credentialing certification in just over a year, raised the “ranking” of RCC’s SBC from 39th to 22nd; increased seminars by over 40% and attendees by over 30%; and developed and distributed a local “how to start a business” book. In addition, Farmer has helped start 15 businesses and expand or retain another six businesses. Last year, RCC’s Small Business Center was the recipient of a Small Business Center Network “Centers of Excellence Award.” Randolph Community College’s Small Business Center supports the development of new business and the growth of existing businesses in Randolph County by being a community-based provider of education and training, counseling, and resource information and referrals. It is located at 413 Industrial Park Avenue in the RCC Continuing Education and Industrial Center. For more information, contact Farmer at 336-633-0240 or [email protected].

RCC Celebrates Academic Achievement at Phi Theta Kappa InductionCongratulations To Locals From Liberty, Franklinville, Climax Beta Theta Rho, the local Five Star Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Randolph Community College, welcomed 75 new members during its Fall Induction Ceremony on Nov. 15, in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus. This is the second largest number of students inducted in one semester since the chapter was chartered in November 1999. The keynote speaker was Dr. James W. Kelley, vice president for student services at RCC. He approached the audience with a question: “Are you happy?” He went on to tell the story of Dr. Viktor Frankl, a successful psychologist who endured the hardships of Nazi concentration camps, including the loss of his parents and beloved wife. After it seemed that everything has been taken away from him, he realized that the only thing no one could take away was his freedom to choose. Eventually, Frankl was liberated from the camps, remarried, and had a fulfilling life. His reflection on how he survived came down to this thought: If we pursue happiness, we will never find it, because we are takers. We have to give to be happy. Dr. Kelley encouraged his listeners to find a way to be of service to others and to find wonder in the world around us. He reminded them that, as Frankl discovered, we can always choose our attitude towards life. Of the 75 inductees, 52 participated in the ceremony, filling the auditorium with their family and friends. Students and their guests were invited to enjoy light refreshments and fellowship provided by Melissa Earliwine (Developmental Mathematics instructor) and Dorothy Hans (English/Reading instructor), both Phi Theta Kappa advisors, in the Armadillo Cafe following the induction. Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa is the only international honor society serving two-year institutions. It recognizes the academic achievement and integrity of students enrolled in associate degree programs. Students who are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa must have completed 12 credit hours and must possess a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.New PTK members (identified by hometowns) who were inducted Saturday include the following: Climax: Casey Amanda Corbett .Franklinville: Brittany Julian Nixon, Sarah Elizabeth Sutton.Liberty: Calista Sierra Holt, Sandra Dawn Woosley.
