LIBERTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Liberty Showcase More Than Music For several years we have only known Liberty Showcase for its music venues. Last month James Gregory filled all the seats in the house for his comedy act. Now thanks to the Grant from NC STEP and the use of the Town Of Liberty’s new theater system, they are working on building the movies back to Liberty. On Thursday afternoon’s you can enjoy a 2:00 matinee. Also on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night you can enjoy a movie right here in Liberty at 7:30.

Plus the cheapest popcorn and drink concessions in the area, while reliving history in the former Curtis Theater. Also do not forget the Saturday 2:00pm children field showing.

As you can see from this young princess, that came to Cinderella, she enjoyed the show.

Hope to see you at a show soon. Lets support Liberty and support our local communities.

By: Teresa Bruchon ANNUAL BANQUET, After, a lovely drive through the Randolph county countryside on a chilly afternoon, many gathered for a warm reception at the Chamber Banquet. The Liberty Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Banquet Meeting & Awards Ceremony on Saturday March 28, 2015. Chamber Members and their guest packed the house, the Harvest House that is. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the Old Farm House Setting in our neighboring town of Ramseur.

MEETING The Evening was packed with information! We received updates from the Chamber of Commerce, Town of Liberty, Liberty Associations of Churches, Liberty Redevelopment committee, NC STEP program, Randolph County Commissioner, and the Heart of NC Tourism Department.

Silent Auction Many local businesses and artist graciously donated items for the Chamber silent auction fund raiser. Items ranged from a stained glass window, leather desk chairs, potted azaleas, to a free oil change. cont on page 4

Even better deal is Children Under 5 Eat Free. The menu will be Pancakes, Eggs (donated by Wings of Dawn Farm), Bacon, Neese’s Country Sausage, Juice, & Coffee. This staple event every year hosted by the Lions Club is eager anticipated event by many. Not only do you get to support a great cause, you also get to fellowship with family and friends you may not get to see enough. I love walking through and saying hello to locals I know. It is even more heart warming to sit back and watch as you see the love of the Liberty area blossom out like spring buds with conversation and laughter at every turn. Another piece of trivia I have learning is the eggs. You see , Wings of Dawn Farm has again pledged to donate 30 dozen eggs for the upcoming Liberty Lions Club Pancake Breakfast on 4/18/2015. They have also been generously sharing with the LAC Food Pantry over the last two years.

Wing Of Dawn Farm Wings Of Dawn Farm is a small, family owned and operated farm in southwest Alamance County, (approx 9 mils northwest of Liberty) committed to being a source for healthy local food. Jan and Charlie Ansell are the owner and operators. You can find the store at 4089 West Greensboro Chapel Hill Road, Liberty, North Carolina 27298 or reach them at Phone: 336-264-9972 or E-mail: wingsofdawn.farm@gmail.com. The farm includes about twenty-eight acres of pasture, hardwoods and ponds. At present we have laying hens, Nigerian Dwarf goats, two livestock guardian dogs and several large gardens. An orchard of apple, peach and pear trees is in its infancy. The fig trees and grapevines are bearing well in season. Future plans include a few hogs and broilers. They source their seeds from small companies who share their commitment to preserving heirloom seeds so they can grow vegetables that are nutritious as well as flavorful. By doing so, they also seek to preserve some of the diversity of food that is America's heritage.

No GMO seeds are used on the farm and no GMO products are fed to the chickens and livestock.In addition to selling our eggs and vegetables from the farm, we regularly donate eggs and excess produce (seasonally) to local food charities. I love the verse Wings Of Dawn Farm has on their blog post, “Psalm 139: 9-10-If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast. They also have a farm store.We have eggs for sale! Fresh from the chickens in a variety of shades - chickens are free ranging on pasture and are fed local organic feed from Reedy Fork Organic Farm! $4.00 per dozen and $6.00 for an 18 count. Be sure to stop by and pick up fresh eggs from the carport refrigerator! We also have stewing hens; please call or email to order them and arrange for a pick-up.

Since the beginning of time, native peoples have participated in ceremonies that provided deep meaning and growth to their lives.

These ceremonies included the Vision Quest.

The Vision Quest is a four day wilderness experience immersed in nature, while reflecting on life challenges and possibilities. All ancient societies used the Quest as a rite of passage between childhood and adulthood. Today, the Quest is a valuable tool in navigating and guiding toward clear choices for changing careers or as a route to find meaning and regain passion in life.

It is a means of reconnection and the opportunity to feel whole and alive again.

Vision is about finding the place in society that best suits your talents to unfold your path of joy and fulfillment. Only you are responsible for the life you live and the legacy you leave behind.

The Quest is for people who are seeking, and called to find a real purpose in their lives.

If you have read this far and feel a stirring deep inside, you may be one who is called to the Quest. If you yearn to be part of the solution by helping other people, animals or the planet in a meaningful way, the Quest may be 'calling' you. It may be the door which has opened as the past one has closed. Would you like to know more about the healing and purpose that comes from participation in this ancient rite? In order for the Quest to be available to fit your needs, we offer the traditional 4-day Vision Quest and a shortened 24 hour Quest.

2015 Church ofYear Q&A with Liberty Chamber Church of the Year: FFC Q: I know each church is different. What is the main idea behind Freedom Family?

A: We’ve always wanted to bring something new and different to Liberty while staying true to God’s design for church. The way we go about that is to focus on building God’s Kingdom (by serving, giving, and sharing the Gospel and discipling the congregation) and leaving it to God to add to the church body. That’s what leads us to do so much outreach and, in essence, bring the church out into the community.

Q: What is one thing that the general public may not know about FFC? A: One interesting thing is that the majority of our church family came from little or no church background at all. Either that or they hadn’t been involved in one for a while before coming here. That’s been a blessing and a challenge all at once. If Jesus is making us “fishers of men”, then we’ve tried to to catch new fish, not rob another’s aquarium!

Q: Is that what your tag line “A Church For The Rest Of Us” refers to?

A: Exactly. We felt the main reason God would want another church in a town full of churches is to reach those that have never felt comfortable or welcome in those churches. Whether that feeling is legitimate or not, we still see plenty of people in need of Jesus. There was a country song out around the time we planted that said “God bless the rest of us” and that really resonated with our team. We wanted to reach the down and out. Those who were too loud, too rough around the edges, who didn’t have “church clothes”, but who need to hear the Good News anyway.

Q: What can we expect to see and hear from FFC in the future?

A: Well only the Lord knows for sure! But we’re excited about all the new ideas God has been giving us. We’ve got a new website (ffcliberty.com) and mobile app that connects us, our teens are getting ready for another “REVERB” summer camp, plus we’re finishing renovations to our Nursery & Kids department and our “Elevation Station” cafe!

We’re so honored by the Chamber’s recognition, but we realize that our mission is the Great Commission…so we are going to fix our eyes on that and let God handle the rest!

It will be held on May 1st and May 2nd at 7:00 pm at the Lucky J Arena on Hwy 64 East of Ramseur. The arena is at the intersection of Hwy 64 and Shady Grove Road near Ramseur. The purpose of this event is to raise scholarship money for graduating FFA members, assist in sending FFA members to local, state, and national leadership conferences, and to help financially support the Agriculture Education/FFA programs at Eastern Randolph High School and Southeastern Randolph Middle School.

This event is being governed by the N.C. High School Rodeo Association.

They are a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of sportsmanship, horsemanship, and character in the youth of our state. They give high school students the opportunity to participate and compete in this unique and challenging sport. The NCHSRA offers a rodeo program that sets high school rodeo apart from the other varsity sports. The athletes compete on a scale comparable to collegiate and professional rodeo competitors.

Contestants will compete in the following events: Bull Riding, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Breakaway Calf Roping, Cattle Cutting, Team Roping, Goat Tying, Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Calf Roping, & Steer Wrestling.

There are over 40 local sponsors many of whom have sponsored all twelve of the rodeo events. Wayne Thomas Chevrolet & Cadillac is the overall sponsor of this event.

Other major sponsors are Langley Grading of Staley, Harvest House of Ramseur, Swaim Heating and Air Conditioning of Climax, Randolph County Farm Bureau, Liberty Farm and Garden, Randolph County Livestock and Poultry Improvement Association, Carolina Stockyards of Siler City, Randolph Telephone Company, James River Equipment of Asheboro, Caviness Farms Hauling and Grading of Siler City, and Structural Woods/Cox Industries of Coleridge.

Food sales will start at 5:30 pm for participants and people attending the rodeo event. Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 at the gate. Children 5 years and under get in free.

Tickets can be bought at Eastern Randolph High School and the Wayne Thomas Dealership in Asheboro. This is a family event and we will have activities for young children each night. We will have local area students participating both nights as well as other high school students from across the state. For more information call Raymond Caviness at 919-742-3296 or 336-953-1424.

Isaac Ferguson Named 2015 Coca-Cola

Community College Academic Team Bronze Scholar Isaac Ferguson of Liberty, a second-year Associate in Arts/Associate in Science (College Transfer) student at Randolph Community College, has been named a 2015 Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Bronze Scholar. The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team program by recognizing 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze Scholars, and providing nearly $200,000 in scholarships annually. Each Bronze Scholar receives a $1,000 scholarship and a special medallion. Ferguson, 20, is a Providence Grove High School graduate who was active in the Future Business Leaders of America Club, French Club, and Beta Club at that school. He has also been a community volunteer at Randolph Hospital and for Operation Red Sleigh.

Ferguson was chosen as a Presidential Scholar to RCC in 2013, a competitive scholarship from the RCC Foundation that pays $2,500 a year to five deserving high school students. He also served as an RCC Ambassador as a part of that program. Since enrolling at RCC, he has completed RCC’s Fountain-Luria Student Leadership Academy, has been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and recently completed the North Carolina Community College System Student Leadership Development Program. In addition, he is a member of the Phi Beta Lambda, a national organization for students preparing to pursue business occupations, and he tutors fellow students in biology, math and English. Ferguson will graduate from RCC in May and plans to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and double major in finance and accounting. He is the son of Jeff and Gina Ferguson of Liberty.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society administers the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Program and recognizes Coca-Cola Community College scholars during AllState Community College Academic Team Recognition ceremonies held in 38 states. Student scholars also receive recognition locally during ceremonies held on campus and internationally for those who are able to attend Phi Theta Kappa’s Annual Convention.

Community college presidents or their designated nominators may submit no more than two nominations per campus for this award. An independent panel of judges considers outstanding academic rigor, grade point average, academic and leadership awards, and engagement in college and community service in the selection process.

“We thank the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation for their vote of confidence in community college students by investing in their futures,” said Dr. Rod Risley, executive director of Phi Theta Kappa. “Their support is especially welcome during this challenging economic climate, as more and more community college students need additional resources to help them complete their degrees.”

“The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation has a long history of providing financial assistance to outstanding students at community colleges,” said J. Mark Davis, president of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. “We are proud to partner with Phi Theta Kappa and make it possible for deserving students to achieve their educational goals.”

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 1,285 chapters on two-year and community college campuses in all 50 of the United States, Canada, Germany, Peru, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. More than 3 million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 134,000 students inducted annually.

Christ at age 8 during Mr. Graham’s 1958 evangelistic Crusade in Charlotte.

But Sallie was repeatedly devastated by her broken relationship with her mother and stepfather. During her visits with them, her stepfather would physically abuse her, sometimes while her mother watched. He would hurl insults at her and predict that she would become a prostitute. He angrily beat Sallie with a belt after she became pregnant at age 19 and refused his demand to get an abortion. She subsequently spent three weeks in the hospital, barely avoiding a miscarriage.

Sallie had no intention of following the path her stepdad predicted, but his words planted destructive seeds.

Sallie watched Billy communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.

3. Local Decision Making: Local ownership means that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

4. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy: Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development.

5. Job and Wages: Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than chains do.

6. Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship fuels America's economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class.

7. Public Benefits and Costs: Local stores in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services relative to big box stores and strip shopping malls.

8. Environmental Sustainability: Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centerswhich in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.

9. Competition: A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.

of them. Rather than being distressed, Sallie told the agents, “I’m free!”

During her first few weeks at the Mecklenburg County Jail, she was overcome with brokenness. Every vile thing she had ever done, every action that had caused other women to be violated, passed before her eyes. Her grief was so deep that she sobbed and vomited for days, repenting over and over again and rededicating her life to the Lord.

She cooperated wholeheartedly with judicial authorities, confessing fully at her sentencing hearing.

“I have failed my husband, my chil-

tionable.

“There’s just a radiance about them,” says Mark Harris, their close friend and pastor at Charlotte’s First Baptist Church. “There’s a sense of calm and peace that the Lord has guided them.

They continue to bear much fruit and to impact people in all walks of life.”

Don became a deacon and has participated in a men’s jail ministry. Sallie leads a weekly Bible study at the Dove’s Nest women’s addiction recovery center. She speaks at church events and loves her visits to the Mecklenburg County Jail, where she shared her testimony that Sunday with the six female inmates in orange jumpsuits.

Sallie could relate to those women, who, like her, had been so stained by the brokenness and heartache that the enemy had used to lure them into a life of crime. She understood the scowls on their faces. She knew why the sight of a man’s hand could make them think of pain and betrayal. But because of what Christ had done for her and Don, she was able to tell them that the hands of Jesus hold no harm; that they are gentle, loving and true.

One woman, after Sally’s proclamation of the Gospel, cried out in repentance: “I can’t take this anymore! I’ve got to do this today!”

Sallie led the woman in the sinner’s prayer and gave her tissues to wipe away the tears.

This is the Sallie Saxon of today—redeemed, filled with joy in Christ and blessed with a fruitful ministry to hurting women.

“I want to serve God for His glory, and I want people to know that the chains of bondage can be broken,” she says. “I want them to know that there is hope and healing.”

Her new life is an example.

“My past doesn’t define me,” she says. “I was bought with a price by a Savior, not by man’s money.” D ©2015 BGEA

SALLIE’S STORY

20

times, he physically abused her and her son, causing her to have broken ribs, a cracked nose, chipped teeth, black eyes, neck injuries and dislocated shoulders.

After receiving extended psychiatric treatment, Sallie divorced her husband and struggled to make a living for her family. In addition to their son, the couple also had a daughter.

Desperate for income, she agreed to a proposal from a wealthy businessman to entertain him and his associates. She knew it was wrong, but she followed that path into nearly 30 years of prostitution, eventually becoming a madam overseeing hundreds of prostituted women serving more than 2,000 clients.

“Most of the time, it was about the money, and I could never get enough,” she says.

But being in the business was humiliating.

“You feel so used. The men will literally throw their money on you and say, ‘I paid for you. I bought you.’”

As the years progressed, Sallie came under increasing conviction from the Holy Spirit, to the point that she became more tormented by her own sin than by anything anyone else had ever done to her.

She no longer took solace in her attempts to protect her employees’ safety.

On multiple occasions, she tried to shut down the escort business, but received veiled threats from her clients.

One afternoon in 2007, she sat in her bathtub, ready to take more than 200 Valium pills she had accumulated. Why had God allowed so many terrible things to happen to her, and where had He been during her suffering?

“God, where are You right now?” she cried out.

Suddenly, she sensed a whispered response: “I am here.”

And just as quickly, she was filled with hope. She no longer felt alone and was infused with a belief that God

Sallie was sentenced to 24 months in a federal prison for women in Lexington, Ky. Don was sentenced to 21 months in a men’s prison in Bennettsville, N.C. While in the Kentucky prison, Sallie continued to draw closer to God, taking advantage of every evangelistic opportunity to lead inmates to Christ.

Liberty Chamber Volunteer Of The Year It was a pleasure to see a long existing civic group receive this award of Volunteer of the Year. This civic group started in 1928 in great little town. What I have been told by many is that Liberty was not small back then but was actually one of the trend setters.

Back when 421 did not have a by pass but actually was a bustling passage way. During this time this civic group continued to show a hight standard to the state levels. This group also brought flu vaccinations to our city so its citizens did not have to travel to get them. They have provided dictionaries every year to not just Liberty ES but to all the surrounding Elementary Schools. They have provided scholarships to seniors to the area colleges. They have sent high schoolers to Leadership Training sessions held in the area. They have provided for a nursing scholarship. In the past year, this civic group help get the first of four new shelters built at the new Town Of Liberty Farmers Market with the help of Supertex and Ed Cummings. I was told they plan on working toward the final three. So it was great to see the Liberty Rotary Club receive this years Volunteer of the Year. If you would like to be part of a club thats main motto is Service Before Self, you can. You can contact a local Rotary member or visit them on any Thursday at the Basils Restaurant where they meet weekly at 6:30 for a meal and a program and learn more.

Whether you are a man or a women, they would love to have you visit to learn more.

The Liberty Leader Newspaper April 2015 2015Ruritan Club , More Than Great Fried Chicken & BBQ Liberty Ruritan began in Holland, Virginia in 1928. Tom Downing of Suffolk, Va. and Jack Gwaltney of Holland, Va. are known as the co-founders of Ruritan. Downing and Gwaltney recognized the need for an organization where community leaders could meet and discuss ways to make their communities better places in which to live. The name “Ruritan” was suggested by Daisy Nurney, a reporter for the Virginian-Pilot Newspaper in Norfolk. The organization unanimously adopted “Ruritan” for its name.

Ruritan is dedicated to improving communities and building a better America through Fellowship, Goodwill and Community Service. Club membership represents a cross section of the community the club serves and is available to all persons interested in their community. Some of the Ruritan’s objectives are --To unify the efforts of individuals, organizations, and institutions in the community towards making it an ideal place to live.

--To encourage and foster the idea of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise.

--To create greater understanding between rural and urban people on the problems of each, as well as on their actual problem.

As I write this let me enlighten you as to how our Liberty Ruritan Club got started. From North Carolina’s “down-east” farming regions there was a West Edgecombe club that sponsored our neighboring Silk Hope club a few minutes down the road. And from this taking place, Silk Hope became Liberty’s sponsor from where our own local Liberty Club was chartered on the 21st day of April 1958. So, there you have it! These three clubs amongst quite a number of other clubs to make up our very own Rocky Mount-Durham District of North Carolina was in place. I would like to share with our readers an incerpt from when our club first began as some of you just may recollect the names from a long time back.

As you can see throughout the year there is always something that can be done to help the area or someone in which we live as you know you don’t have to look far to find a need. Right??

In the past we have printed up and sold community birthday calendars with special dates along with local merchants ads to raise money. Also on March 21st, we decided to have our first- ever pinto bean supper. Mark your calendars fore every year for as long as I can remember on the last Saturday of April and September we host our annual spring and fall Fried Chicken and Bar-B-Q dinner where I guarantee you will not find a larger, juicier, or fresher piece of chicken anywhere around. Remember, when the antiques start to pop out in the yards everywhere in Liberty it is fried chicken time at the “hut!”

Last, in closing, if you feel a desire to lend a hand in helping to make our community a better place in which to live and work we invite you to come visit. We meet the 1st Monday of every month at 7:30 pm at the Liberty Ruritan hut located on the left at 6901 Hwy. 49N, Liberty, N.C. 27298 as you go out of town toward Art’s Town n Country store. Many thanks beforehand for all the continued support given and shown to the Liberty Ruritan.

Community Fund Raiser Friends, Former Scout Master Eddie Tuck and his friend, Keith Suits, have been and still are collecting any form of scrap metal from aluminum cans to old cars.

All the funds they raise go toward community related projects (this is an outgrowth of a local boy scout Eagle Award project). During the monthly meeting of the 100 Man Project, Inc. this morning at the fire department, they offered to help fund our goal of replacing our 19 year old handicapped van (with 174,000+ miles).....YOU can help, just by calling the number on the attachment, and requesting a pickup of large or very small amounts of old, unwanted metal....of any type. Just request that half of the proceeds be designated to the 100 Man Project, and the other half to Scout's projects.....inventory YOUR metal junk and call the number (215-6418)....this may seem like a hard way to earn some money, .....but consider this: "The easy way is always mined" (from the US Navy OPS
