Calendar On Our Website Also there is new window art that is an eye catcher. I asked about who the artist was and found out it was one of our locals. I had the great pleasure of getting to sit down meet this great guy. His name is Khyri Headon-Crawford and grew up in Staley. He graduated in 2010 from ERHS and in 2015 from A&T with a Bachelor in Visual Design. His parents are, Yolanda Next Edition Headon and Fred Crawford. Khyri has started his path out as a freelance artist which has taken him to places in Greensboro. November 3rd He is now working on a free hand ceiling mural in a Daycare in Washington DC. I asked Khyri what got him in the artist line. He shared, " My family has been my biggest influence. My Aunt Deadline Kisah Headon was a big influence. My mom is always doodling October 27th and get me doing then my grandma, Helen Headon, was always in the art light. My brother actually does poetry and is a English teacher. So with all my people around me drew me into the arts. " He continued to share, " In High School I did a charcoal tree and won a contest with it. They really sparked my life. " I asked but you look very athletic and found out that he has the record for the most touchdowns in one year at ERHS and also 1000 points in 2 years at ERHS in basketball. I asked him beside art what does he like to do. " Hangout with my girlfriends and of course family time," he shared. I believe this family time is what made this a great young man. He also shared it was cool to leave his mark her since he went to day care at the same place. Well he is open for other art work if you or your business wants some great work done. Drive by and check out this in person. You can reach him for business at 336-622-5897 or 336-233-1665. Keep up the great work !!!

Home and Garden Conspiracy Has Ruined Many a Man
Annual Rainbow Tea - Great Event I was lucky to find out and get invited to the Annual Rainbow Tea at Edward Grove Baptist Church in Liberty on Sunday Sept 10. As I walked through the door I was greatly welcomed and felt as I was at home there. The tables all had a color theme and the food on the table match the color of the table. This was a fundraiser their mission work. The whole theme was centered around the Rainbow Covenant God gave us. Linda Fortune opened us with scripture reading and her husband Issac Fortune opened us in prayer. Each table was sponsored by a people in the church and what was even better they shared what God lead on their heart for that color. I wrote down one key thing I brought away from each table. The Blue table was hosted by the Edwards Grove Men shared the when you see blue you see Jesus, from the sky to the water. (Even In UNC Chapel Hill ). The orange table was hosted my Clima Moffitt and they shared, that GOD made all the colors and each is special. The purple table was hosted by Youth Department. They shared that purple was wealth and royalty and that Jesus is royalty and if we are his children we are royalty too. The yellow table was hosted by Grant Cheek. They shared all the places yellow show up in the bible and in a nut shell it represents Gods holiness and divine light, power and mercy.

Volume 15 Issue 10
by Warren Dixon There’s a movement afoot in this country to undermine the self esteem of the American male. Once a man’s home was his castle. Now, a man’s home is a proving ground. It’s something that a man is constantly under pressure to improve on, to add to, to fix up. And the worst part is that we’re expected to do it ourselves. I blame it all on Home and Garden TV. Everything was OK as long as we had Wally and the Beaver. Ward Cleaver was not a do it yourself man. Ward’s favorite quote was “As you go through life, try to improve yourself, not prove yourself.” Ward was not too proud to pay a handyman to do a chore even though he was an engineer in the Seabees during World War II. He did not flaunt his expertise. But that was before the great Home and Garden conspiracy. Now, do it yourselfing has not only become a trend it has become an obligation. “Do it yourself” even has an acronym: DIY. This makes it seem catchy, trendy, in style, the thing to do. “It’s like spring cleaning,” says a representative of The Home Depot (which, by the way, is a big part of the DIY conspiracy, too) “as soon as the weather is nice, people want to start digging things up or tearing something apart.” Now I don’t know about you, but when springtime comes, I ain’t thinking about digging something up or tearing something apart. With our house, I don’t have to think up things to tear apart. They tear apart on their own. But Home and Garden makes it seem like everybody’s out looking for something to fix up. Jump on the band wagon, they say, before you get left behind. And it’s so easy to DIY that it’s almost ignorant not to do it, plus it saves you so much money. Let’s take the popular decorative cupola. Your Home and Garden TV hosts happily explain that cupolas are the square, vented structures seen on the rooftops of some older buildings. Years ago they served as vents “These days, however, homeowners are installing them for a purely decorative effect,” our hosts tell us. That’s where they get you. They make you think that homeowners everywhere are installing cupolas. None of us stop to think: When is the last time we saw a cupola in our neighborhood? So, buoyed by these deranged people, who promise us that “anybody can build a cupola”, we plan a trip to our local fix it up store. All we need is a ladder, square, drill, router, various sized posts, boards and plywood, sanding block and sandpaper, paint and paint supplies, caulk gun and caulk, exterior shutter assemblies, brick molding, deck screws, circular saw, miter saw, table saw, measuring tape, plumb bob, chalk line, utility knife, shingles, roofing felt, hammer, roofing nails and safety glasses. Checking our tool chest before we leave, we find that we do have a hammer, a rather dull utility knife and something that looks like a melted wad of electrical tape. Upon arriving at the fix it up store, we find that the cupola guy is out with the flu. We press the handy service button, which begins proclaiming loudly throughout the store that “Special assistance is needed in the cupola section”. After about fifteen minutes of this repetitive torture, the bathroom guy finally gets tired of hearing the “special assistance” lady recording and comes to help. He knows nothing about cupolas but does tell you how you can cut off the recording. The nice lady at the checkout accepts a second mortgage as payment for the cupola supplies. No, she admits, she has never known anyone who built a cupola, but is sure that anyone can do it. Back at home, the wife is beginning to wonder why a task that the Home and Garden folks finished in only a half hour on TV is taking you over a week to complete. You are wondering why your hosts weren’t more explicit in telling you how to mark the roof pitch onto the saddle. After punching three holes in the roof, it dawns on you that you shouldn’t have assembled the cupola on the ground. The roofer’s bill is only about as much as a contractor would have charged to build you a cupola and a gazebo. Home and Garden TV should have a disclaimer after every episode: “This show was done on a closed course by professionals. Do not attempt this at home.”

Trouble Tree (by unknown author) I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation.. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. 'Oh, that's my trouble tree,' he replied'I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children.. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again.' 'Funny thing is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before. THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all need a Tree! (I didn't create this story, but loved it when I read it and wanted to share)

The Burnt Biscuits
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a performance by The Burnt Biscuits (TBB) at Hurricane Jane’s Restaurant in Liberty. Band members are Trent Joura, Levi Phillips and Drew Shelton. Abraham Coltrane was with the group that particular night to help out on drums. These three guys are 14 and 15 years old and already have great skills and a fan base. I’ve asked the TBB to answer a few questions for our readers. Trent, how did the members of the group meet? Levi and I had known each other for a really long time but we weren’t really good friends until 6th grade. When we went to Uwharrie Charter Academy in 7th grade, I met Drew in my first class. I had a couple classes with Drew and we all just became friends at some point early in 7th grade. Levi, where did you guys come up with the name of your band? The Burnt Biscuit name was first used when we did our performance at the Uwharrie Charter Academy talent show. We knew that another group would be performing called The String Cheese. We thought that a food name would be cool so Drew came up with The Burnt Biscuits. Drew, where did your group play the first time? The first time we ever played together was the talent show at Uwharrie Charter Academy. We played “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Radioactive”. We practiced and practiced and never could seem to get it exactly how we wanted it to sound until just a few days before the show. Eventually, we played and waited for the other acts which were all very good. I didn’t think we would win. Finally, they began to announce the winners, and I thought,“If we don’t get third place then we won’t win anything.” Somehow, maybe it was the work of God, we walked out with the first place trophy. I’ve never been so happy! Levi, where are some of the places you have played as a group? We have played at the Four Saints Open Mic night and we opened for the Randolph Community Theater. Trent and I have played at Lucky's and hope Drew will come join us one day. Our most recent performances have been at Hurricane Jane, ’s in Liberty. Tell us where you are from and what you guys do besides play in your band? Levi: I live in Asheboro and like making music on my own and making electronic music. You are invited to check out my soundcloud at levi_phillips. I also enjoy going downtown and acting in local theater. Drew: I’m from Level Cross and play guitar in church. I want to become an inventor and/or engineer. I enjoy hunting and fishing. School keeps me busy. Trent: I’m from Asheboro. Aside from music, I’ve been doing theatre for about 4 years. In school, I’m part of the Journalism team, and I also like to paint and sketch. I also play drums for the First Presbyterian church band. Drew, tell our readers about the first time you played at Hurricane Jane’s. In the summer we played and it was our first full-fledged multi-song performance so we were all excited. Surprisingly, I didn’t get too nervous in front of the audience. I have always thought performing was the same thing as just playing. Of course, I still mess up in places and can’t be perfect, but I remind myself we’re there to have fun. Levi: I was a little nervous as it was one of the first places we played as a band. We practiced a bunch. I was also nervous because it was our first time that Abraham was playing drums with us. Thank goodness he did because he added so much to the performance. Trent: The first time we played at Hurricane Jane’s, I was very nervous because I had never been to this place before and had no idea what the atmosphere would be like. But when we went on stage, I felt welcomed, and I think the customers/staff of Jane’s enjoyed the music we played. After the performance, I was tired but felt accomplished. How has the band affected you? Drew: Well, we don’t have normal people arguments anymore. Now we argue about anything musical like whether modern music requires any talent or maybe whether pitch and tone are different. Our arguments are always settled in the same - by whoever has another band member on their side! Levi: I think The Burnt Biscuits has really grown my
Ph 336-795-0054 / Cell 336-404-9791
playing. Trent and Drew are amazing musicians so I learn a lot from them. It's also been a lot of fun playing live and even at all the practices. Trent: I’ve accomplished a lot musically being in this band. A couple years ago, I knew nothing about playing any instruments and now I write my own music and play several different instruments. Socially, winning the talent show made a couple years ago made me more known around my school. Also, I’ve met a lot of people over the couple years I’ve been in TBB. Drew, tell us about your drummer? The drummer that played with us at Hurricane Jane’s is my church drummer, Abraham Coltrane. I don’t know how we could have performed without him. He’s been great, and we appreciate all of his wisdom and experience. What musical influences are responsible for your playlist? Drew: We chose a variety of songs because we each like a different style. The organization of those songs was the interesting part. We wanted to put lesser known songs more at the beginning and the classics at the end. We wanted to put the heavier songs towards the end as well. We had to do all this while keeping the transitions smooth (keep similar songs together). So, yes, it can get a little complicated. An interesting result of this organization is that I get into the music at the end because I like heavier music. Levi: I think all of us can get into classic rock which is mostly what we play. We also have some newer songs that are good. But when it comes to the music we listen to, we don't always agree. Trent: I like Credence Clearwater Revival, and we play a couple of their songs. We do pull from different eras, mostly 80s and 2010s. There are throwback songs like Johnny B Goode and House of the Rising Sun every now and then. Overall, our music is mostly guitar based because we haven’t had a steady drummer for such a long time. Drew, does the band write any of their own music? Yes, in fact Trent and I are working on several songs right now. You will probably hear some in the next performance. Trent, you exhibit a lot of confidence in front of your audience. How did that skill come about? I’ve always liked public speaking, and I also think that being involved with Randolph Youth Theatre Company has helped me be more comfortable in front of a crowd. Each of you, tell our readers what instruments you play. Drew: I started playing years ago, and I play mandolin, violin, piano, guitar. I learned how to play mouth harp two years ago. Electric guitar is my favorite instrument because there is so much you can do with guitar. About two years ago, I came across Trent who was starting to learn to play the electric, and I thought that it would be cool if we played together. I went home and started to teach myself how to play a few songs by ear and then I came back to school w/ my guitar. We would play together at school and that’s how we eventually got the idea of the three of us playing at the talent show. Trent: I play guitar, piano, drums, ukulele and violin. I’m self-taught for all of these. Levi: I play bass in the band. I taught myself how to play bass with You Tube and just fooling around! Is there anything you’d like to add? We would like to thank Jane and Ron for letting us come and play on their awesome stage, Abraham for playing drums with us, and our parents for always supporting us and driving us to where we need to go. We are thankful that our family and fans have come out to hear us. We hope to play at Hurricane Jane’s again soon and, when we do play, we want our fans to come and enjoy the music and support the restaurant by ordering some of their great food.

This should enable us to maintain the interior of vehicles better now. The reading program at Liberty Elementary School has begun and we are urging the students to read, read, and read. The one classroom in each grade that reads the most books will win an ice cream party at the end of the school year and the child who reads the most books in each grade will win a free tablet. We hope the excitement of reading continues from last year as the students read over 10,400 books. Also at the Liberty Library each time a student checks out a book he or she may register to win a free tablet to be given away at the end of the school year to one lucky person. The student has to live in either Randolph, Chatham, Alamance, or Guilford County. We are always accepting drivers for the C.A.R.S. program. Please if you have a few hours a month consider Community Area Ride Service being a driver to transport clients to and from medical appointments. The reward will be amazing. If interested please call 336-622-5774 and talk to our dispatcher or our President at 336-622-1998.

New Furniture Store
Liberty now has a furniture store and it’s about time. Casa Furniture, Inc. has just opened its doors this month at 122 West Swannanoa Street, Liberty, NC in the smack center of downtown. It was a soft opening, long awaited, and advertised by word of mouth and social media. Unfortunately, too many businesses have come and gone before in this small town. What was missing was a viable anchor store to be the inspiration for others to follow. By leading by example, Casa Furniture will inspire more businesses to occupy the vacant buildings and spaces that may still exist. With the furniture store’s presence and perseverance, people will see Liberty as the new hotbed for small business again. Spiro Laousis, of Greek decent and owner, lives in Liberty, works in Liberty, and now runs this store. He says, “ I love Liberty, the people here, and just wanted to bring my little world of promotional furniture and mattresses here. I take pride in manufacturing the mattresses and living room sets locally in Ramseur, NC, and wanted to share my hand crafted products with the fellow town folk at wholesale prices. I am doing just that.” Casa Furniture in Liberty serves two roles. One, it is the newest store for the chain of furniture and mattress stores that Casa Furniture has and it’s first in North Carolina. Secondly, it serves as Amor Furniture and Bedding, LLC’s only outlet store. Also owned by Mr. Laousis, Amor Furniture manufactures promotional stationary living rooms at 1776 Pleasant Ridge Road in Ramsuer, NC and produces new mattresses and box springs at the firm’s second factory location, 143 South Asheboro Street, Liberty, NC. Amor Furniture is nationally known and ships only to wholesale customers, up until Casa Furniture’s opening. Mr. Laousis, a seasoned retailer, lamented and commented, “It is ironic that many county residents actually work in furniture factories but cannot purchase the product they produce from the company they work for. And, people who live so close to High Point, the furniture capital of the world, cannot pay the same prices that retailers do at market. It is sad, but I wanted to change that and feel that I have done just that.” Moreover, according to Laousis, “There is a large immigrant community, mostly Hispanic, that is underserved by furniture stores. Casa Furniture owes its success to the Hispanic and minority communities that it has served since 1999. For that reason, the store’s salespeople are bilingual and its marketing targets those ethic classes. In fact, the corporate tag line, in Spanish, roughly translates to ‘The house’s prices are on fire.” What does the little furniture store in Liberty sell? In general, they sell what they make and what they import directly. Living room sets, both sofa and loveseats, sectionals, and baby chair recliners, for example. They sell mattresses from standard foam encased smooth tops to pillow tops; memory foam mattresses in all sizes from twin to king with the box springs. The variety is impressive from bunkbeds, bedrooms, and dinettes to must have rollaway beds for the unexpected guest. The common thread among all their products is the wholesale pricing. Time is the test of success. Casa Furniture plans to be a fixture of Liberty, NC and Randolph county for time to come. Their phone is 336.795.0194 and their email address is sales@casafurniture.com.

"The Pastor's Porch" with Pastor Don Hey guys, Pastor Don here, sitting on the front porch, watching the beautiful sunset, conversating with God. Today we are talking about "proper perspective". Perspective being the way we as people view things, and if incorrect, can really mess us up. God reminded me today that for many years of my life, my perspective of who He was, was not proper, and how that kept me away from Him and His blessings. Let me explain. My perspective of who God was came from an extremely abusive childhood, that was filled with people who told me along the way how much God loved me. The two things didnt add up, and that got me believing that either God wasnt real, or that He had a real funny way of showing His love. Who I thought God was, and what he was about, had me having no interest in geting to know Him or spending time with Him. I had an "improper perspective" of God. Fast forward to November 6, 2008. Everything changed in my life and I was forced to get a "proper perspective" of who God was, and I had to do it quickly. I came to realize that God did indeed love me very much, and that He has a plan, a purpose, a reason for all the things in my life. Past, present, and future. I gained a "proper perspective" of who God is, and it made all the difference in the world in my life. I now spend all the days of my life walking and talking with Him. Living in His blessings and displaying His glory! My encouragement to you is for you to find out for yourself who God really is and how much He adores you. Not based on your circumstances or situations, not based on your past, not based on what you have been told about Him, but spend the time and find out who He really is. Discover the amazing love that He has for you, and the amazing love that He has shown to us through His Son Jesus Christ! Love in Christ, Pastor Don Pastor Don is the Pastor at the Freedom Family Church Ramseur campus. He lives in Ramseur with his wife Tabitha, and their son Elijah.
