WHAT DOES GREEN MEAN?
To find out the answer, attend the “Go Green Renewable Energy” class series offered at Rockingham Community College and offered by the Community & Workforce Education Division. This class will be a basic exploration of the field of renewable energy with an emphasis on solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass. Our use of energy on a personal level as well as our use as a society will be addressed. Explanations will be given concerning the best locations and use for each renewable resource. Although this field is in
the early stages, jobs are currently available in certain markets, especially within the building industry. However, it is certain there will great employment opportunities in the future, so future economics outlooks will be covered. The class will have information useful to a wide variety of individuals - homeowners, builders, job seekers, those wanting to change careers, entrepreneurs and those who want to

FLY THE FLAG SEPTEMBER 11 We have a little less than one month and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America. On Friday, September 11th, 2009, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. We do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
PRICE ROAD By Elaine T Jones is available at the Eden Chamber of Commerce 336-623-3336
College in the Advanced Technologies Building Room 111, Tuesdays September 8th November 10th 2009. The time of the class will start and 6:00 p.m. and end at 8:00 p.m. and the cost is $65.00. For more information please contact Helen Pokrzywa at 336-342-4261, EXT. 2177.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-toshoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day. Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!

FRIENDLY SCHOOL”
WENTWORTH - G.I. Jobs magazine, the premier publication for military personnel in transition, has designated Rockingham Community College as a military friendly school. This puts RCC in the top 15 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide in its service to those in the military. “This designation is a reaffirmation that we are aware of the unique needs of military personnel as they seek to improve their education,” said RCC President, Dr. Robert Keys. The magazine annually surveys schools nationwide to determine the level of services they offer to members of the armed forces.
PARENTS AWARE PROGRAM
COMES TO ROCKINGHAM COUNTY WENTWORTH - Sheriff Sam Page has announced a new highway safety initiative for young drivers called Parents Aware Program. With this new program, when deputies issue teen drivers a traffic citation or warning ticket, the deputy will be required to notify the parent or guardian of the incident. This will cause a parent/guardian to be notified of moving violations to drivers under 18 years of age. Sheriff Page believes that ultimately the young driver will benefit from parents being notified promptly whenever a deputy stops car driven by a teen and the deputy deems the conduct serious enough to issue a written citation/ticket. School resource officers within the county will reinforce this crime prevention effort by making students aware of the purpose of the program. • To keep parents informed of their teens driving behaviors. • To encourage good driving habits with our youth. • To deter motor vehicle traffic collisions. • To educate teens of the dangers with careless and reckless driving, alcohol consumption and driving, safety belt requirements, dangers of speeding and cell phone/text messaging while driving violations.

Services include campus clubs, whether academic credit is given for military courses and/or experience, if the institution is staffed with a VA counselor, and whether tuition is cancelled if a person is called to active duty. The total enrollment of the school, the percentage of veterans enrolled, and whether the school is situated near a military base are all taken
into consideration. Kathy Everette, assistant to the director of financial aid/veterans’ affairs at RCC, originally submitted the G.I.

Dear Editorial Board: Recently, at a County Commissioner’s meeting a citizen expressed the desire for local companies to be given preference on construction projects. In a broader sense, this citizen was advocating buy localwhich makes sense. This same loyalty and commitment to Rockingham County is what I felt prior to running for office and still feel as a commissioner. Buy local promotes the local economy by keeping local folks employed and keeps our local tax dollars here at home. But there is another side to this argument that I didn’t realize until I became more involved in county government. When local government (counties or cities) undertakes a major construction project or purchase they are not allowed by law to simply award the business to a local company. I was initially surprised and disappointed when I learned this. But after considering it, I now understand why it is a law. The State prevents us from a simple buy local approach because it would limit fair competition, which is a healthy and necessary element of capitalism that promotes low costs for the best possible quality goods and services. In fact, sometimes not buying local protects the citizens of our County because while we all want the best possible products and services for our tax dollars we also want it at the lowest
possible cost. We need fair competition to achieve this goal. This is the dilemma: On one hand, we hope that local businesses will be awarded the contracts for goods and services and on the other hand, by law, they must also be the lowest responsible bidder. A responsible bidder means they are not just given the job because they submitted an unrealistically low bid to simply win the contract. Past performance and how quickly they can complete the project are also considerations. Here are three ways we are trying to promote both buy local and fair competition: 1) We constantly strive to improve how and what we communicate because we want everyone to know generally what’s going on. But, we also want to provide local businesses specifically with timely and relevant information so they can compete for and hopefully win the bids on projects for which they are best suited. Many local companies call when they hear about projects to inquire about timelines. We advertise major construction projects on our website, in the newspaper, and in construction news periodicals at least 14 days before formal bid proposals are due. 2) The County wants local vendors to have the chance to compete for other types of purchases, too. Even when there are no local vendors of a particular service or
product we still ask for a minimum of 3 vendor quotes prior to most purchases that are $500 or more to ensure fairness and competition. The County maintains a list of vendors to make it easier to access local vendor information for applicable bids and quotes. It is difficult to maintain the list current, due to new and changing information, but it is a useful tool just the same. 3) Our local economy is changing. Recognizing the challenges of keeping up with change the County provides the Business & Technology Center (BTC), a small business coaching resource. BTC’s primary focus is onsmall and growing local businesses with less than 50 employees. BTC strives to help these local businesses become and remain competitive in the economy. The course ahead is opportunity. In the end, we need our local economy to compete not just locally but also in the surrounding local economies, in the southeast region, throughout the nation, and across the globe. Buy local, of course we want everyone to buy what Rockingham County has to offer. Respectfully yours, Amelia W. Dallas, Chair Rockingham County Board of Commissioners 371 NC 65, Suite 206 Wentworth, NC 27375

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life
Rockingham County Commissioners Workshop August 13, 2009 This workshop was for the Commissioners to discuss what’s before them for the coming year. First to be discussed was stimulus money. Tom Wiggins, Planning Department, and Ted Nelson, Health Department, talked about purchasing computer software to speed up the time it takes to get permits. If you are familiar with software, you know that time is important in many applications. The software they are proposing would save owners and contractors time and trips to the Governmental Center. They also discussed yard trash, junk cars and hazardous materials in front of houses and businesses. This has been a tough issue and hard to control. Possibly owners could store unused materials in the backyard until they can afford to take it to the landfill, but it is important to remember that this practice could create health hazards. Another issue covered was animal control. They discussed possible regulations covering: - Permits to breed animals - conditions for animals - number of animals permitted Ginger Waynick talked about setting up a website at a cost of $25,000-$35,000 as a faster way to communicate within the county. This would give citizens an idea of what is going on in the county. Bill Holcomb and Mike Apple discussed school funds and about the future of the lottery and sales tax funds. Next to be discussed was the possibility of using a GPS system for prisoners. One position would need to be added to keep track of these prisoners, but it would ease jail overcrowding. Space needs of the county were discussed, including what to do with the old courthouse and the county home building. A steering committee has been appointed to look into this situation, but no names were given. Some of these old buildings may have environmental issues to be dealt with, no matter what is done with them. There was some talk of doing part of the work without an architect to save money. Saving money - what a scary thought! A discussion was held about “Lean management”. Some county employees might be concerned if they see someone doing a time study in their department. Constructions projects: There was talk of moving some prisoners from the annex to the new jail in December, 2010. Before this happens, I understand that the new 10” water line from the water tower to the jail must be completed. This is a $264,000 project, the cost of which is to be shared by the Town of Wentworth, Rockingham County and Dan River Water. The total will be the County’s responsibility if the other two entities do not participate. This can’t wait on stimulus money. An alternate access road to the new courthouse/jail complex is being considered. If the landowner will give the right-of-
Continued from page 4 purchased by the City at public auction through the collection process. The cost of the demolition was $5,375.00. The property is being sold subject to unpaid property taxes. The amount due as of August 3, 2009, is $2,621.26. - Recommendation made to sell surplus City owned real property being : 1. 627 S. Fieldcrest Road 2. 886 Morgan Road 3. 1422 Ridge Avenue 4. 306 Henry Street The first three properties previously had structures located on them which were demolished under the minimum housing standards and were acquired at public auction through our collection process. The fourth property at 306 Henry Street currently has a house situated on the lot. - Approved and accepted the grant award for the COPS Hiring Recovery Program Grant for 2 officer positions and $291,672 in federal funds over a three-year grant period to cover the salaries and benefits. The city agrees to retain these positions a minimum of 12 months at the conclusion of the 36 months of federal funding.

way, the county will install the roads and the utilities. The cost for this is estimated at $400,000. The additional jail pod was postponed for the present, as the cost of $1,800,000 was considered too high, The commissioners moved to go ahead with the western EMS building. And guess what, Pine Hall Brick is to be used. The status of the Horse Center of the South was discussed. Same music, but slightly different lyrics! A & T may come on board. This session lasted from 9:00 AM until 4:30 PM. Not bad, at least we can see where our tax money is going. I must say I can see more concern about costs than I have seen in quite some time. Now if we can get architects we employ to be cost-minded as well. We have two projects presently on the drawing board that should be looked at, with cost in mind. Architects are paid a percentage on what the buildings cost, so they have no incentive to cut costs. That will be left up to County personnel. County Commissioners Meeting August 24, 2009 This meeting covered the history of building the animal shelter so that the commissioners could see what they are dealing with. The cost of the building is projected to be $2,089,000. Fundraisers will continue to be held. Meanwhile, a loan will be received from the USDA at an interest rate of 4%. The County will need to get a construction loan to qualify for the USDA loan. Once the job is complete and has been accepted, USDA will write one check. PROJECTED COST TOTAL BUDGETED CONSTRUCTION COST $1,750,000.00 FURNISHINGS & EQUIPMENT $ 70,000.00 LEGAL FEES $5,000.00 ARCHITECTURAL FEES $137,000.00 CONTINGENCIES $87,000.00 TOTAL $2,089,000.00 Bids will be taken in October, with construction time estimated to be nine months. Meeting with Virginia Foxx Mayodan Library August 1, 2009 Virginia Foxx appeared at the Mayodan Library for what I hoped was an informational meeting. I was hoping she could give us hope for a grant to be used in building the proposed new library, but the answer was a quick “no”. This was not really a surprise, as her staff has told me before that there is no money available. She expounded on her career as a librarian and how great libraries are. She talked about the health care bill and said that she has read part of it. Bobby Stanley was present and talked about his visit to Canada and what he learned about the health care situation there. Ms. Foxx had little time for questions from
those present, due to being scheduled for more meetings. Seven people were present for this meeting, the Mayor of Mayodan, two County Commissioners, the library director, one county facilitator, and two reporters. Meeting with Brad Miller Rockingham Comm. Col. August 11, 2009 This meeting was sponsored by Congressman Brad Miller There was a good turn out of mostly government employees. Congressman Miller then spoke for 3-4 minutes primarily on how to apply for grants. After talking with Miller and his staff I was told that there is no money available for the Western Rockingham library. Now we were told that there are grants, but you have to be on a qualified list to receive them. The list includes law enforcement, fire fighting, arts, infrastructure, etc. Cities and counties have to provide matching funds to get some grants. County Commissioners Meeting August 24, 2009 3:30 PM The first item of business concerned the EMS service. Some people seem to think this service is free, therefore the County has to pick up the tab. After three years of trying to collect unpaid fees, $678,806 will be written off as not collectible. Additional federal funds have been made available for the extra shots required for the H1N1 flu this year. A request was made to go ahead with the Horse Center of the South and it was approved. The architects were present with their staff. These architects designed the Williamston Horse Center. I have been to that facility and it is first class, so I am sure the same will be true of Rockingham County’s facility. Just a note about this center, I am not against this project, but I do question whether we, as a county, can afford it at this time. The
other three horse centers are state funded and maintained. This seems to be a rich man’s game. Brenda Ward gave a presentation for the Town of Wentworth wanting to lease the old Wentworth Elementary School building as a recreation center for the Town. Wentworth can get a $25,000 grant, but to do so they need a 25-year lease on the building. This seems to be a win-win situation for both the County and the Town. The Jordan Lake project came up again. At this time Rockingham County is not included, but if circumstances should change, cleaning up runoff to the Haw River could prove costly to those involved. This includes about 25% of the county. Bill Holcomb appeared before the Commissioners to ask for a school bond to cover $2,115,144.25 for current costs. These are tax-free bonds. The project to build a new Douglas School is estimated to cost about $14,000,000, with bids in October. A discussion followed about forming a committee to study wildlife. This committee would consider the options to control the deer population, such as extending deer season, as deer are causing many automobile accidents in the County.

I love libraries. I always have. When I was growing up, the library in my town had a children’s section on the lower level and an adult section on the second level. I remember when I was given my “adult” card and made the proud ascent to that place of mystery and intrigue I had longed to enter . Of course that was long ago when dinosaur ran freely in the land, but I still love the library. The place is a goldmine I tell you! The resource section, magazines, (picture reading your favorites and not having to subscribe) and borrowing books on CD to enjoy as you ride to work, go to the store, or travel. You can make copies, send a fax and do genealogy studies. Need to surf the web? You can get online with out paying for DSL. All that and there are friendly, professional librarians there to assist you. I attended a health fair in Eden (which was great by the way) and found a librarian at the branch booth where she was distributing free rulers, bookmarks, pencils and information, all with a smile. If you have not taken a trip to your local library in awhile all I can say is, why? Well, step a little closer my friend and let me whet your biblio-appetite with this information ! First, get a library card after

There are video games, recorded music, DVD’s, large print books to borrow and so much more. What do I mean by “more”? I’m glad you asked. Many branches in Rockingham County provide FREE computer classes and meeting space for public use. The Outreach Dept. uses a Bookmobile and a minivan to reach those who are not able to visit a branch. Did you know there is a library radio show every third Wednesday of every month on WLOE/WMYN ? There are 3 Friends of the Library groups that promote and improve library services. Contact your branch for more information on how to join. You can avail yourself of a host of employment links, local and national, as well as job search and resume information.

CERTAIN
MATERIALS BANNED FROM GOING IN YOUR TRASHCAN STARTING IN OCTOBER
By Paul Amos, Former Solid Waste Superintendent
To reduce waste going to the landfills, the state has issued a ban on the following materials from landfills: • Rigid plastic containers – consists of plastics such as water and soda bottles, milk jugs, juice bottles and laundry detergent bottles classified as PET or HDPE plastics (number 1 or number 2 plastics, stamped underneath the container). Rigid plastic containers are defined as bottles that have a neck smaller than its body. • Wooden pallets • Motor vehicle oil filters • Oyster shells Beginning Oct. 1, these materials will no longer be allowed in your household garbage container for landfill disposal. To ensure that residents comply with this ban, random inspec-
tions of residential containers will be held. Residents whose containers are found to hold the banned items will be warned and their containers inspected on other dates. Residents may be
fined if repeated violations occur. Instead of putting the banned items in the trash container, residents are encouraged to recycle plastic containers at the following recycling sites in Eden: • Main Street in the Draper sec-

Andrea Despot
VACCINES
EDEN CITY HALL HOSTS WORK OF MARTINSVILLE PHOTOGRAPHER Eden City Hall is proud to welcome a professional photographer as the September Artist of the Month. Andrea Despot, a Martinsville native, is a graduate of The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and in addition to doing freelance work is a fulltime photographer for Collinsville Printing Company. According to Despot, her collection of photographs on display at City Hall is intended to “celebrate the art of objects. Many of the subjects are of ordinary items that have been photographed to enhance their natural color, texture and shape. Also included in the exhibit are photographs of people and places that are included to reinforce the overall significance of vibrant color.” Despot has been an artist from her earliest days. “There was never a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t end up being an artist of some kind. There was never a notion that there was something else I would rather do with my life. I was born an artist. Art is in my blood,” Despot said. And indeed, she is the child of an artist. Despot’s mother is well known in the art scene and is owner of de Spot, an art gallery
and gift shop in Martinsville that also houses an exhibit of Despot’s work. Though she studied mostly drawing and sketching in her high school art classes, somehow Despot’s artistic endeavors turned to photography. “The first camera I had, I bought with the money I made babysitting during the summer after my freshman year of high school. I found that I didn’t take the normal snapshots of my family and friends, but my eyes were drawn more toward ordinary objects,” she said. Despot is a member of the Piedmont Arts Association and has won several awards for her work. Her photographs are in collections in 10 states, as well as the United Kingdom. Despot’s work will be on display Sept. 1-30 and may be viewed weekdays 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Eden City Hall, located at 308 E. Stadium Drive. For more information about Despot, visit her website: AndreaDespotPhotography.com. To learn more about the Artist of the Month program at Eden City Hall, visit ExploreEdenNC.com or call Cindy Adams at 623-7789, ext. 3021.

MULTIVITAMINS By Annie Stuart What’s one of the best—and cheapest—insurance policies you can buy? Well, some experts consider it the bottle of multivitamins that sits on your kitchen table. Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and function the right way, ones your body can’t produce by itself. Not everyone agrees a multivitamin is necessary for all people. After all, if your diet is well balanced, you can get many of the vitamins you need from food. But a multivitamin may still be smart, no matter how much organic produce or whole grains you eat. Growing evidence indicates that several vitamins can help ward off serious diseases, such as cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Plus, it is really hard to get the right amounts of some vitamins through diet. For example, you’d need to eat eight servings of fruits or four to six servings of vegetables daily to get the required amount of folic acid. This is an essential nutrient that’s been shown to lower the risk of birth defects and colon cancer. A multivitamin is even more important in cases like these: • You are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. • You’re aging or have another condition making it harder to absorb nutrients. • You have an illness that is depleting your body’s nutrients. • You’re a strict vegetarian. • You are on a restricted diet. I can guide you in selecting a multivitamin that’s right for you. First, I’d check to see if you have any allergies to vitamins and whether a multivitamin might interact poorly with any of your medications. Here are a couple of general guidelines to follow. Know that a store-brand multivitamin is just as good as a name brand—and cheaper, too. But steer clear of super-cheap multivitamins in closeout or dollar stores. A Consumer Report test showed that nearly half failed to contain the labeled amount of at least one nutrient or they failed to dissolve properly. Pick a multivitamin with no more than 100 percent of the vitamins needed daily. Too much of a good thing can be harmful. But know that you may need extra of certain vitamins, such as vitamin D, especially as you age. I’d be glad to guide you on this. What is included in a one-a-day multivitamin? Available in tablets, chewables, capsules, or liquids, multivitamins usually include the following: • Vitamin D, which helps build bones and lowers risk of colorectal cancer • Vitamin A, which aids the immune system and regulates cell growth. (Too much vitamin A may raise the risk of bone fractures.) • Carotenoids, which may help prevent cancer • Vitamins B6, B12, and E, which may help with heart health • Vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and building bone. Many multivitamins also include minerals such as calcium or iron. How much you need also depends on your age and health.1 Ask me any questions you have. Remember: Don’t use your multivitamin as a crutch or an excuse to eat junk food. There’s no real substitute for eating healthy food. It offers unique advantages, such as fiber and other compounds that may help prevent disease. JOIN THE EDEN DRUG KID’S CLUB Children 6 and under receive FREE CHEWABLE MULTIVITAMINS for a Full Year!

CITY EMPLOYEES:
Jim Robertson – Eden Police Department James “Jim” Robertson IV is the School Resource Officer at Morehead High School and has been a city employee for 12 years. As the SRO at Morehead, Robertson is responsible for enforcing state and local laws on the school’s campus. His typical workday includes monitoring the interior and exterior of the school for security issues and he occasionally intercedes in disputes between students and when necessary, files charges or makes an arrest. When asked what he likes about his job, Robertson responded “being able to talk to people (students, faculty and staff) in a normal environment. It’s nice to be able to interact with people when there isn’t a problem involved. On patrol, officers almost always make contact with someone because of a negative situation.” Robertson grew up in Eden and continues to live here. “I’m fond of Eden because it’s not too big, but not too small. Eden is actually bigger than most people think. Most officers can attest to its size since we sometimes have to respond from one side of the city to the other,” Robertson said. He suggested a couple of ways he would like to see Eden grow in the future: “It would be nice to have some more industry in Eden … anything to help the economy. I also miss having a bookstore in the city. One of the big name

BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP SEMINAR COMING TO PLEASANT VIEW CHURCH Art Herzog of Art Herzog Financial Ministries out of Summerfield, NC has made arrangements with Pastor Torrie Easlier for a two day Biblical Stewardship seminar to take place at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Eden. Art Ally, founder of Timothy Plan, a family of mutual funds offering individuals a biblical choice when it comes to investing, will be conducting the two day event. Art Herzog, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) with 18 years of financial planning and advising experience and a part-time economics professor at Greensboro College serves pastors and church congregations as a financial missionary. His vision is to bring high quality Biblical Stewardship teachings to Rockingham County and the surrounding area. In light of the current economic condition and the even more difficult times in Rockingham County, this seminar is very timely. Mr. Herzog states “This is a special event - Art Ally is making a personal appearance and will be conducting the seminar. I don’t believe a seminar like this has ever taken place in this area…and to have the founder of the program actually come and conduct it is truly special.” Stewardship is an issue that is still foreign to many, but once applied to every day living, can change your entire outlook on life. Biblical Stewardship is taking the main points of being a steward, and applying them with a perspective according to God’s
word. Anyone who attends the seminar and applies God’s principles for Biblical Stewardship to their life will see dramatic changes occur.” Statistics are alarming. 80% of Americans are so in debt that they live paycheck to paycheck. 51% of Christian marriages end in divorce – 80% of the time the divorce is related to financial issues. 3.5% of income is the average amount given by church members that do give; but up to 50% of active church members give nothing for the cause of Christ. 85% of Americans have only $250 saved up by retirement, and most do not have wills, Power of Attorneys and other important estate documents. Mr. Herzog added “These are difficult times. There are so many folks out there struggling to make ends meet each day. However, there is a solution to all of these problems – God’s word.” The seminar will take place on October 9 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on October 10 from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. The cost of materials is $20 per participant and must be ordered prior to the seminar. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. Please RSVP by September 28 by contacting Mr. Herzog via e-mail at art@artherzogfinancialministries.com or by telephone at 336-420-9973.

Financial Focus Edward Jones INVEST IN YOUR GOALS BEAR
A
If you invest for many years, you’ll eventually encounter both bull and bear markets. Although you obviously prefer seeing the bull, you may actually learn more from the bear — and when it’s “hibernating,” you can put these lessons to good use in making investment moves for the future. Here are some of the key “bear market lessons” to consider: * Purchase quality investments. A bear market tends to drag everything down with it. But quality investments — those with strong fundamentals and good prospects — have the potential to bounce back quickly once the bear market ends. That’s why you’ll want to consider owning these quality vehicles in all investment climates. In fact, try to avoid owning investments today that you wouldn’t want to own in a bear market tomorrow. * Maintain realistic expectations. Many investors look back fondly at the mid-to-late 1990s, when we frequently experienced double-digit stock market returns. Unfortunately, these results “raised the bar” in terms of what investors expect — and these elevated expectations led to problems for people whose longterm financial goals were based on overly optimistic projections. By anticipating more modest
returns, you’ll be able to set more realistic, achievable goals. At the same time, don’t be surprised at the recurrence of bear markets, which are a normal part of the investing process. * Know your risk tolerance. If you find yourself losing sleep over the fate of your investments in the midst of a bear market, you may need to review your risk tolerance and adjust your portfolio accordingly. But keep things in perspective. Instead of fretting over daily or monthly downturns, ask yourself this: “How much can I afford to lose and still meet my financial goals, such as achieving a comfortable retirement?” You’ll come up with different answers at different stages of your life. * Base investment decisions on principles — not predictions. Everybody can make investment predictions — and they usually do. But many of these prognosticators have poor track records. So, instead of acting on predictions, base your investment decisions on principles, such as buying quality investments, maintaining a long-term perspective and diversifying your portfolio. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help reduce risk when the market is volatile. * Maintain adequate liquidity. If you are planning on cashing out a long-term investment to pay

for a major expense, such as a down payment on a home or college tuition for a child, you could run into difficulty if a bear market is raging and the value of your investments have dropped. To avoid this problem, maintain a portion of your portfolio in liquid investments. Although these vehicles won’t provide you with a high return, they offer greater preservation of principal — which is just what you need when you need the money now. * Look for good investment opportunities. During a bear market, you can almost always find quality investments. While their prices may be down, these investments can still offer good growth potential — and typically, the best time to buy them is when their value is down. By following these lessons, you can prepare yourself for a bear market — and help avoid getting “clawed” by it.

• When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too. • Incoming fire has the right of way. • No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection. No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat. • If the enemy is within range, so are you. • The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire. • Things which must be shipped together as a set, aren't. • Things that must work together, can't be carried to the field that way. • Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support. • Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both. • Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won't be able to get out. • Tracers work both ways. • If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take. • When both sides are convinced they're about to lose, they're both right. • Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of dangerous amateurs. • Military Intelligence is an oxymoron. • Fortify your front; you'll get your rear shot up. • Weather ain't neutral. • If you can't remember... the Claymore is pointed towards you. • Air defense motto: shoot 'em down; sort 'em out on the ground. • The Cavalry doesn't always come to the rescue. • Mines are equal opportunity weapons. • B-52s are the ultimate close support weapon. • Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone. • The one item you need is always in short supply. • Interchangeable parts aren't. • It's not the one with your name on it; it's the one addressed "to whom it may concern" you've
A blonde and a brunette were talking, and the blonde was very stressed. The brunette asked her what was the matter. The blonde proceeded to tell her that she really needed to sell her car, but no one would buy because it has 130,000 miles on it. The brunette said to her, "I know a way that will help you sell it. I have a friend who can help you, but it's illegal." The blonde said, "I'll do anything." So the brunette gave the blonde the phone number of a guy who could turn back the odometer on her car. A week later the blonde and the brunette crossed paths, and thebrunette asked the blonde if she had sold her car yet. The blonde said, "Why would I sell a car with only 40,000 miles on it?!"
got to think about. • When in doubt, empty your magazine. • The side with the simplest uniforms wins. • Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps. • If the Platoon Sergeant can see you, so can the enemy. • Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep. • A bad ride is better than a good walk. • The most dangerous thing in the world is a Second Lieutenant with a map and a compass. • The enemy never watches until you make a mistake. • A clean (and dry) uniform is a magnet for mud and rain. • The worse the weather, the more you are required to be in it. • Whenever you have plenty of ammo, you never miss. Whenever you are low on ammo, you can't hit the broad side of a barn. • The more a weapon costs, the farther you will have to send it away to be repaired. • The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator. • Field experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. • No matter which way you have to march, it’s always uphill. • If enough data is collected, a board of inquiry can prove anything. • For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. • Strikes always overshoot the target, artillery always falls short. • When reviewing the radio frequencies that you just wrote down, the most important ones are always illegible. • The tough part about being a leader is that the troops don't know what they want, but they know for certain what they don't want. • To steal information from a person is called plagiarism. To steal information from the enemy is called gathering intelligence.
His wife's grave side service was just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, 'Well, she's there.

THE CHRISTIAN DRIVER A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' License plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper Sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car." While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the man's, he said, 'I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller too! Paul Newman founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children stricken with cancer, AIDS and blood diseases. One afternoon he and his wife, Joanne Woodward, stopped by to have lunch with the kids. A counselor at a nearby table, suspecting the young patients wouldn't know that Newman was a famous movie star, explained, 'That's the man who made this camp possible. Maybe you've seen his picture on his salad dressing bottle?' Blank stares. 'Well, you've probably seen his face on his lemonade carton.' An eight-year-old girl perked up. 'How long was he missing?'
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!' Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'
