Creedmoor Volunteer

Fire Department iscelebrating their 75thanniversary. Fireman’sDay, sponsored by theCreedmoor Volunteer FireDepartment, will be heldSaturday, October 11th.The parade will start at3:30 pm.

A barbecue and homecooked stew supper will beheld after the parade atSouth Granville HighSchool and last until 7 pm.The cost per plate will be$8.00 per person.

Each year there is a FireQueen chosen by themembership of theCreedmoor Volunteer FireDepartment to be in theparade with preferencegiven to the daughters orgranddaughters of activeand retired members.

For many years therewas a dance following thedinner as part of theFireman’s day activities.When asked whathappened to the Saturdaynight dance as part of

Fireman’s Day, CarlNorgaard gave thefollowing response.

“The ‘Street Dance’began in the early 1960's asa major part of Fireman’sDay. It began literally as astreet event in front of theold Masonic Streetfirehouse (where the CityHall now stands) withacoustic string bands andvery large crowds.

“Many can rememberBilly and Clara Mangumalways being one of the first

couples to lead out theother dancers. Old folks,children, and everyone inbetween enjoyed the squaredances that were mixed induring the evening.

“Cakes baked by someof the finest cooks in theworld were auctioned off tohelp bring in contributions.In later years as the publicmoved more towardelectronic music the dancewas moved indoors to theold Creedmoor High Schoolgym. There were manygood years there, too, but acombination of events afterthat led to the Saturdaynight dance beingdiscontinued.

“The public'sattendance slowly declinedover many years which leadto the point where therising cost of music for thedance made the event notprofitable. After the dancewas discontinued otherevents such as Bluegrassmusic concerts were heldbut they were also notprofitable so theDepartment simplydecided to stop having the‘after supper’ events.

“The departmentmembers are grateful tothe public for the many,many years that theSaturday night dance wassuccessful and theadditional contributionsthat it brought in.”

Victor Mandrillo by

When Melinda and I were on our Mediterranean cruisethis past June, we were given an option one evening ofswordfish for our supper meal. If you have been on a cruiseyou know they feed you pretty well. The options are reallygood and the presentations spectacular.

Growing up in Southern California and near the oceanwe had fresh seafood regularly. When I was offered theopportunity for swordfish with fresh herbs in a balsamicvinegar marinade, I jumped at the chance.

It was very good and one dish I made a mental note ofto try out when we returned home. As luck would haveit, I was thumbing through one of my Italian cookbooksand ran across a recipe that looked exactly like the onewe had experienced. An additional plus, was that, whilegrocery shopping, swordfish steaks were on sale.

I bought two nice swordfish steaks and prepared themusing the recipe below. The flavor was as I rememberedit and it was easy to prepare. If you like swordfish, givethis a try. This recipe will make up to 6 swordfish steaks.Enjoy!

Grilled Swordfish with HerbsIngredients:

Swordfish steaks, around 8 ounces each1 Tsp. chopped fresh rosemary1 Tsp. chopped fresh sage1 Tsp. chopped fresh thyme1 Tsp. dried oregano

JACKSON TOURS WATER FACILITYCity of Creedmoor Commissioner Thomas C. Jackson

recently toured the SGWASA Waste Water Treatmentfacility and Water Treatment facility, both located inButner. Conducting the tour were Fred Dancy, UtilitiesDirector (right), and Mickey Alston, Water Plant Chief(left). These facilities serve at least 12,000 folks in the

Butner, Stem, and Creedmoor area, the inmates at thevarious state and federal prisons, the patients at thenumerous hospitals, plus the various industries that

provide jobs. It is vital that these facilities operate aroundthe clock.

The raw water begins its journey at Lake Holt, then

moves to a 10 million gallon holding pond near the WaterPlant. Then about 2.5 million gallons of raw water perday is pumped into the Water Plant for an elaboratescientific and engineering treatment process. This turnsraw water into what we might take for granted, a productcalled clean drinkable water. This is a 24/7/365 operationthat never shuts down. The water is tested numeroustimes per day during the treatment process. Oncereleased into the distribution system, the water is testedagain at various locations in the distribution system.

The Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) iscurrently undergoing a massive upgrade. There may notbe a piece of equipment currently in use today that mightnot be upgraded or replaced during the next few years.The plant currently employs a three stage cleaningsystem. Once the upgrades are complete, there will be afive stage cleaning system. One of the goals is to lowerthe nitrogen discharge placed back into a tributary of FallsLake. At the other end of Falls Lake is a raw water suctionfor the Raleigh water treatment plant.

Currently, the waste water arrives at the WWTP atdifferent rates throughout the day. By definition, thismay create in an inefficiency in the treatment process.Once the upgrade is complete, there will be two newholding tanks in operation that will hold about 2.5 milliongallons in each tank. These tanks will allow the operatorsto set a constant flow through the plant during the day.The holding tanks would accept the excess waste flowduring peak flow loads during the day and give it back tothe treatment process during low flow loads at night.

M ountain music:Where it came from, whereit’s going

As the InternationalBluegrass MusicAssociation’s five-day"World of BluegrassFestival" wound down inRaleigh a few days ago,some people were stillasking where did bluegrassmusic come from, anyway?

North Carolinians havea quick and certain answer:It came out of the hills andhollows of our Appalachianregion.

And where did thatmountain music comefrom?

We know that much ofthe music of theAppalachians is, like itsresidents, descended fromthe British Isles. We knowthat some of the tunes andwords have survived almostintact, like the famousballad "Barbara Allen." Andwe know that others,though modified, can beclosely connected to similarones from those isles.

But we know littleabout how this musicoriginally developed. Norare we familiar with thedetails of the migration ofthose peoples to America orhow the musical traditionsthe immigrants broughtwith them have beenaffected by time andinteractions with other

You might be a NorthCarolina voter if...

...You're confused aboutwhen and how you canregister to vote and cast aballot in the midtermelections.

The General Assembly's2013 changes to electionslaws, combined withongoing court battles overthem, have fueleduncertainty about whethervoters will be able toregister during the earlyvoting period this year,which they've been allowedto do in the past.

It's also unclearwhether voters will be ableto cast ballots outside oftheir assigned precincts onElection Day (Nov. 4). As oflate last week, as the resultof the most recent courtdecision, voters can registerand vote during earlyvoting, which runs fromOct. 23 to Nov. 1. They alsocan vote outside of theirhome precincts. But both ofthose details could changein the days before theelection. The U.S. Supreme

Court still may decide thatcertain election lawchanges enacted last yearshould be in place for thiselection.

Suggestion: If youhaven't already, register tovote by Friday (Oct. 10).That way, you'll be able tovote this year regardless ofwhat the courts decide. Andvote in your assignedprecinct to ensure that yourvotes on all races arecounted. If still confused,call your local board ofelections.

...You think you need aphoto ID to vote this year.

Josh Lawson, a StateBoard of Electionsspokesman, said somevoters still think they needidentification to cast aballot this year. You do NOT

need any type ofidentification to vote in2014 in North Carolina.The ID requirement beginswith the 2016 elections.

...You recentlyregistered as anunaffiliated voter.

Statistics from the StateBoard show the percentageof unaffiliated voters inNorth Carolina increasedfrom about 18 percent of thetotal electorate in 2004 tomore than 27 percent in2014. During that span,unaffiliated voters nearlydoubled from about 910,000in 2004 to nearly 1.8 milliontoday. Unaffiliated votersnow outnumber those of amajor party in more thanhalf of North Carolina's 100counties. They havesurpassed Republicans in36 counties and Democratsin 19.

...The voter makeup inyour state House or Senatedistrict – or both – is solopsided in favor of eitherDemocrats or Republicansthat you could pretty easilyguess who's going to win.

Redistricting, as it oftendoes, has left most of the170 state House and Senatedistricts skewed in favor ofone party or another. Thatmeans many legislativeraces are all but decidedbefore Election Day, andRepublicans who drew themaps are all but assured ofkeeping majorities in bothchambers for two moreyears.

...Only one candidateappears on your ballot foryour state legislativedistrict.

The lack of competitivedistricts also results inmany uncontested Houseand Senate races. This year,candidates in 19 of the 50state Senate districts don'thave opponents on Nov. 4,while 59 of 120 House seatsare already decided becauseonly one name will appearon ballots.

...You're confused,frustrated or apatheticbecause of all of the above.

Suggestion: Voteanyway.

cultures.That story in all its

richness and complexity istold beautifully in"Wayfaring Strangers: TheMusical Voyage fromScotland and Ulster toAppalachia," by FionaRitchie and Doug Orr andpublished by UNC Presslast month.

As Dolly Parton says inher introduction to thebook, "I grew up in theSmoky Mountains listeningto these ancient balladsthat had crossed oceans andvalleys to become animportant basis forAmerican folk, bluegrass,and country music."

Ritchie lives in Scotlandwhere she produces andhosts National PublicRadio's popular program"The Thistle & Shamrock,"which features music withCeltic roots in Europe andNorth America.

Orr, interim chancellorat UNC-Asheville, was thelong-time president of

Warren Wilson Collegewhere he organized theSwannanoa Gathering, aseries of weeklong summerworkshops that attractmusic lovers from all overthe world.

Ritchie and Orr begantheir musical partnershipwhen Ritchie was anexchange student at UNC-Charlotte and Orr was avice chancellor withresponsibility for WFAE,the university’s radiostation. The result in 1981was an early version of"The Thistle & Shamrock,"which has become one ofNPR’s most popularprograms.

The authors warn younot to expect simpleanswers to questions aboutthe sources of the music ofAppalachia and the musicit has inspired. They saythat if you opened theirbook "with an old ballad orfiddle tune in mind andhoped to speed readthrough the book, arrivingat the threshold of countrymusic or rock 'n roll," youwill have "misunderstoodthe process. There is no onestream and no one source;rather, there is a mergingof many tributariestrickling from springsthrough place and time andcoursing together onwardacross fresh terrain."

The story of the various

streams of music andpeople is richly complex,full of heartbreak and hope,of longing for lost love andlost homelands, people andplaces never to be seenagain, struggle, povertyand despair, of religiousoppression and redemption.

Many of the songs Orrand Ritchie celebrate grewout of such painful times.One such tune, well knownon both sides of theAtlantic, "Barbara Allen," isincluded with 19 othersongs on a CD thataccompanies the book.Dolly Parton sings thatballad in English,alternating with verses inIrish sung by Mairead NiMhaonaigh.

"Wayfaring Strangers"follows the migration ofpeople and their music fromScotland, to NorthernIreland, through the longocean voyage toPhiladelphia, down theWagon Road, and into themountain coves. The musicsurvived these travels, butit was transformed at eachstage by interaction withthe music of other cultures.

It is a transformationthat Ritchie and Orrdescribe and celebrate,especially as appreciation ofthe Scots-Irish music growswhile it continues to adaptand change.

Letters To The EditorCHILDHOOD OBESITY

To The Editor:On Wednesday, October 8th, Creedmoor Elementary

School partnered with The City of Creedmoor, GranvilleVance Health Department and Granville CountyGreenways to take part in “International Walk to SchoolDay.” Participation in this event is important for a varietyof reasons but its call to action about Childhood Obesitytops the list.

Over the last decade obesity rates in children in ourarea have declined slightly, but we still have work to do.

According to the District Health Department’s lastreports, we are still above the national average for obesityrates in children. It is recommended that children receive60 minutes of aerobic activity per day to reduce the riskof developing diabetes, heart disease, hypertension andsome cancers later in life.

Thanks to campaigns like Let’s Move, NFL Play 60,KaBoom, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’sHealth Communities for getting the message of childhoodobesity into the mainstream, we are making a differencefor generations to come.

Don’t wait for a special event like this or Creedmoor’sparticipation in the “National Day of Play” to get out andget active. It is important that we all take notice of ouractivity level. Being fit could literally improve the qualityand extent of your life.

Tim KaranCreedmoor

GET OUT OF '60'S AND '70'STo The Editor:

When growing up, textiles and furniture were two bigindustries in this state. Steel plants were a big industryin the North.

When other countries started making steel, the priceswent low and the Northern States became the Rust Belt.

The same thing happened to the textile and furnitureindustry in the South.

Medicine has become a primary employer in this state.There are two urgent care centers near where I live.

Durham County Schools established the City ofMedicine Academy so students could learn about themedical trades. A doctor I got to know well told me Icould do anything I wanted to do.

This country needs to get out of the sixties andseventies if they want to become what they want to be --a better nation.

Brief History of theCVFD

Creedmoor ’s FireDepartment was organizedin 1939 with Bob Cross asthe first chief.

Oxford’s FireDepartment claims thedistinction of being thecounty’s oldest firedepartment. Creedmoor isthe second oldest firedepartment in GranvilleCounty.

The current Fire Chief ofthe Creedmoor VolunteerFire Department is BobbyRay. He was named chief in1994 and is the sixth chiefof the department. Others,who have served in thatcapacity beginning with thefirst chief with the yearsserved, are Bob Cross 1939-1969, Raymond Ray 1970-1978, Ed Rogers 1979-1980,Calvin Haskins 1981-1988,and Wayne Cross 1989-1993.

The department still hasthe first piece of equipmentthat they ever owned, a handpulled hose reel which thefirst department membersrigged up so that it could bepulled by a car or truck. It'snot actually used any morebut it is a great reminder ofwhere the departmentstarted at back in 1939.When an alarm was soundedthe members pulled the hosereel - either by hand or tiedto the bumper of a car ortruck - to the closest

hydrant.A historical note: Up

until the 1930's there was nocity water system and nohydrants. Prior to thedepartment being formallyorganized in 1939 there wasa "bucket brigade" wherecitizens were issued bucketsand when an alarm wassounded everyone went tothe closest well and drewwater. The city actuallymaintained an official citywell at the corner of SouthElm and Masonic streets forthis purpose.

The first truck everpurchased by thedepartment was a 1940 or1941 Chevrolet that had apump mounted on the frontand carried 500 gallons ofwater. (This truck has beensince been sold by thedepartment.)

According to Chief BobbyRay, that vehicle waspurchased in the late 1940’s;before the purchase of thattruck, the old hand pulledreel was the only piece ofequipment the firemen hadavailable to fight fires in andaround Creedmoor.

The second truckpurchased by thedepartment was a 1959 Fordwhich the department soldto the Brassfield VolunteerFire Department when theyorganized in 1984.

The first fire truck waspurchased by the City ofCreedmoor – a 1960 Fordthat the city bought andgave to the department inthe mid 1960’s.New trucks were purchasedin 2002 and 2008. Thedepartment is currentlyplanning another purchasesoon. Having modernequipment on hand isessential to maintaining thedepartment's ratings withthe insurance companieswhich in turn keeps the costof fire insurance as low aspossible for the citizens inthe district. Fire truckstypically have a twenty yearservice life.

The earliest fire housewas located on MasonicStreet on or near the site ofthe present day City Hall.

Chief Bobby Ray said, “Itwas a flat roofed garagebuilding with a bay that waslocated beside the oldoriginal post office building(since torn down).”

The second firehouse,now also torn down, wasadded on the old City Hall

building which was locatedon the site of the present dayCity Hall.

The present fire house,located on Elm Street, wasdedicated in 1981.

The retired ChiefRaymond Ray recalled thatthe first ever Fireman’s Daywas held by the departmentin 1959 at Rogers Lake.

The food at the firstevent was catered byMurphy House inLouisburg; the homemadeBrunswick stew that thefiremen cook for theirpresent day celebration is atradition that was begun inthe mid 1970’s.

The area served by theCreedmoor department hasshrunk some over the yearsas other departments havebeen organized.

According to Lt. RichardRay, the Creedmoordepartment in earlier daysserved areas as far east asFranklin County, as farnorth as the Tar River andbefore the formation of theBrassfield Department in1984 covered the Brassfieldarea.

Explaining the evolutionof the department, Ray said,"Before the advent of firepagers, hearing the firesiren blow was the only wayof alerting the firemen whena fire occurred.

“At that time, virtuallyall of the firemen livedinside the city limits, so theycould hear the siren.

“Now, with pagers,firemen are dispatched fromwhatever location theyhappen to be in when a firecall comes in,” he explained.

The department stilluses pagers as their primarymeans of alert. Recently thecounty's 9-1-1 center addedcell phone text alerts as abackup to the pager system.The vehicle and hand heldradios used in actualfirefighting from that pointon are part of the state'sVIPER radio system whichallows communicationsbetween all Granvillecounty units, adjoiningcounties, the highwaypatrol, and state and federalemergency management ifthe situation requires. TheVIPER system came in tobeing as a result of federalprograms enacted after the9/11 tragedy to ensure thatall emergency services couldcommunicate efficiently.

Faye Ray, wife of Fire

Chief Bobby Ray stated sheis proud of the Creedmoordepartment and theprogress that they havemade over the years inproviding fire protectionfrom the town.

“The department hascome a long way – I canreally appreciate just howfar they’ve come and theservice they provide forcitizens,” said Ray.

“In the early days of thedepartment, firemen werenot covered by insurance sowe would have taken a bigloss if our husbands, whowere volunteer firemen, hadbeen injured or had lost theirlife while fighting a fire.

“People should be veryappreciative of the servicethese brave men provide –they risk their lives to keepus safe every time theyanswer a fire call,” sheadded.

Since the interview withFaye Ray years ago, thereare now three femalefirefighters at present andthe department believesthey will certainly gain moreas time goes on. Thesewomen face the samesituations as malefirefighters do, whichincludes making sure theirfamilies are prepared forthem being gone for manyhours at the time. Theinsurance would now applyto the women and theirspouses as well.Lower Insurance Rates

Back in 1982 newequipment purchased by thefire department andadditional training offiremen led to re-classification by theinsurance service offices ofNorth Carolina. That meantthat many local residents’fire insurance rates droppedeffective November 1, 1982.

The change inclassification from Class 8 toClass 6 was made after anevaluation following a surveyof the fire department.

During that time in 1982the Creedmoor VolunteerFire Department, under theleadership of Chief CalvinHaskins built a new firestation on Elm Street,bought a new fire truck (withassistance from the town),purchased an additional2,000 gallon tanker andadded 1,500 feet of new hose.The new truck and hosehelped Creedmoor residentssecure a better fire rating

and lower insurancepremiums.

In 1986 Harry LeeChappell was honored witha Certificate of Appreciationgiven by the Town ofCreedmoor for his over 40years of service to theCreedmoor Volunteer FireDepartment.

In September 1991 TheCreedmoor CityCommissioners voted to askthe Granville CountyCommissioners to allow theCreedmoor PoliceDepartment to dispatch theCreedmoor Fire Departmentto fire calls in the Creedmoorfire district.

The City Commissionerswere acting on an urgentrequest from the fire chief,Wayne Cross, who appearedbefore the board. Crossasked the City Board if theywould allow the CreedmoorPolice Department todispatch the fire departmentcalls until such time as thecounty makes theimprovements necessary toproperly dispatch thedepartment and tocommunicate withCreedmoor Fire Departmenttruck and members.

Chief Cross said twoincidents that had happenedrecently prior to the requesthad increased his frustrationwith the then current 911service. The most distressingcall involved an accident thatresulted in a fatality athighway 50 near SandyPlain. He added that SixForks Rescue had to come 22miles and Stoney Hillresponded from over 15miles and the site was only3.5 miles from fire andrescue stations inCreedmoor.

Helping NYVD after 9-11

On September 17, 2001firemen from acrossGranville County spent 15hours collecting money forthe New York Fire-fighters9-11 Disaster Relief Fund.

Drivers on Main Streetfound members of theCreedmoor Volunteer FireDepartment approachingvehicles and holding out afireman’s boot to receivemonetary donations frommotorists.

Working in two hourshifts, members of thedepartment collected a totalof $17,724.48 to be sent forrelief efforts for familymembers of firefighters whowere victims of the attacks.

A total of sixteen firemenfrom the department workedto raise the money. Thosefiremen who helped in thefundraising effort were MikeAllen, Danny Eudy, ScottEvans, Jimmy Gray, JimmyMinor, Ray Braxton, AllenCarson, Johnny Chavis,Billy Fisher, Matthew Foley,Carl Norgaard, Bobby Ray,Richard Ray, Gerald Sorrell,Luke Steele and JohnStallings.

According to DougLogan, Director of GranvilleCounty EmergencyManagement Services, atotal of $41,600 was raisedcounty-wide for the relieffund.

DonationsImportantIn explaining the

importance of Fireman’s Dayfundraising activities, ChiefBobby Ray said that eventhough the CountyCommissioners give eachvolunteer fire department inthe county operating fundseach year that the amountsare never enough to pay all ofthe expenses of thedepartments.

Said Ray, “The money thatwe make from the fund-raiserwill go towards makingpayments on the trucks andequipment, insurance andgeneral operating expenses.”

He continued,”Mostpeople don’t realize it but wehave to carry Workman’sCompensation Insurance onall the department membersand another large expense ismaintenance on the trucksand the building.”

Citing rising costs to runthe department, Ray said thatwithout the support of thecommunity at the Fireman’sDay fundraiser held each yearit would be impossible to keepthe trucks rolling to fight fires.

Agreeing with Ray was hisson Richard, a Lieutenant inthe department and a thirdgeneration volunteer firefighter.

Said Richard Ray, “I can’texpress how important thefunds that we raise fromFireman’s Day are in keepingthe department running.”Lt. Richard Ray maintainsthat the department membersare very appreciative of pastsupport and said, “We’re proudof the support of our citizensin the past and hope that theywill again this year supportour fund raising activities onFireman’s Day.

“It is important toremember that the majority ofour expenses are met throughdonations – in order for ourdepartment to provide thelevel of service that thecitizens are accustomed to, wehave to make money onFireman’s Day.”

According to the Chief, themen in the department areconstantly taking trainingclasses to upgrade their firefighting skills.

“We have an ongoingtraining program year round– quite a lot is required ofvolunteers these days and a lotof our weekly meetings aredevoted to training.”

Chief Ray stated, “The firedepartment belongs to thepeople of the community –their support has enabled usto acquire the excellentequipment that we have torespond to fires with.”

“Without the support ofthe community, theCreedmoor Volunteer FireDepartment could not exist.We look forward to meetingpeople on Saturday at ourcelebration and hope thateveryone in the communitywill come out and supporttheir volunteer firedepartment.”

DON’T LET THE TAX TAILWAG THE ECONOMIC DOG

Some tax-cutting strategies make good financial sense.Other tax strategies are simply bad ideas, often becausetax considerations are allowed to override basic economics.Here’s one example of the tax tail wagging the economicdog. Let’s say that you run an unincorporated consultingbusiness. You want some additional tax write-off, so youdecide to buy $10,000 of office furniture that you don’treally need. If you’re in the 28% bracket and you deductthe entire cost, this purchase will trim your tax bill by$2,800 (28% of $10,000). But even after the tax break,you’ll still be out of pocket $7,200 ($10,000 less $2,800)— and stuck with furniture that you don’t really need.There are other situations in which people often focus ontax considerations and ignore the bigger financial picture.For example:

_ Someone increases the size of a home mortgage,solely to get a larger tax deduction for mortgage interest.

_ A homeowner hesitates to pay off a mortgage, justto keep the interest deduction.

_ Someone turns down extra income, because it mightpush them into a higher tax bracket.

_ An investor holds an appreciated asset indefinitely,solely to avoid paying the capital gains tax.

As a general rule, the best tax strategies are thosethat generate a deduction and leave you in control of yourmoney. This is what happens, for example, with IRAs,401(k)s, and other retirement plans. Strategies that resultin tax deferral can also be desirable, since you get to payyour tax bill years from now in usually cheaper, inflateddollars.

Tax-cutting strategies are usually part of a biggerfinancial picture. If you are planning any tax-relatedtransactions, we can help make sure that everything staysin focus. Give us a call for any assistance you need.

Burial and Memorial BenefitsAvailable to Veterans

Dear Savvy Senior,Does the Veterans Administration provide any special

funeral services or benefits to old veterans? My father isa 90-year-old World War II veteran with late stageAlzheimer’s, so I’m looking into funeral options and wouldlike to know what the VA may provide.

Planning AheadDear Planning,

Yes, the Veterans Administration offers a number ofburial and memorial benefits to veterans if their dischargefrom the military was under conditions other thandishonorable – which will need to be verified. To do this,you’ll need a copy of your dad’s DD Form 214 "Certificateof Release or Discharge from Active Duty," which you canrequest online at archives.gov/veterans.

Here’s a rundown of some of the different benefits thatare available to veterans that die a non-service relateddeath.National and State Cemetery Benefits

If your dad is eligible, and wants to be buried in oneof the 131 national or 93 state VA cemeteries (seewww.cem.va.gov/cem/cems/listcem.asp for a list) the VAbenefits provided at no cost to the family include agravesite; opening and closing of the grave; perpetualgravesite care; a government headstone or marker; aUnited States burial flag that can be used to drape thecasket or accompany the urn (after the funeral service,the flag is given to the next-of-kin as a keepsake); and aPresidential memorial certificate, which is an engravedpaper certificate signed by the current Presidentexpressing the country’s grateful recognition of theveteran’s service.

National cemetery burial benefits are also availableto spouses and dependents of veterans.

If your dad is cremated, his remains will be buried orinurned in the same manner as casketed remains.

Funeral or cremation arrangements and costs are not,however, taken care of by the VA. They are theresponsibility of the veteran’s family.Private Cemetery Benefits

If your dad is going to be buried in a private cemetery,the benefits available include a free governmentheadstone or marker, or a medallion that can be affixedto an existing privately purchased headstone or marker;a burial flag; and a Presidential memorial certificate.

Funeral or cremation arrangements and costs areagain the responsibility of the family, and there are nobenefits offered to spouses and dependents that are buriedin private cemeteries.Military Funeral Honors

Another popular benefit available to all eligibleveterans buried in either a national or private cemeteryis a military funeral honors ceremony. This includesfolding and presenting the U.S. burial flag to the veteran’ssurvivors and the playing of Taps, performed by two ormore uniformed military members.

The funeral provider you choose will be able to assistyou with all VA burial requests. Depending on what youwant, certain forms may need to be completed which arealways better to be done in advance. For a completerundown of burial and memorial benefits, eligibilitydetails and required forms, visit www.cem.va.gov or call800-827-1000.Burial Allowances

In addition to the many burial benefits, some veteransmay also qualify for a $734 burial and funeral expenseallowance (if hospitalized by VA at time of death), or $300(if not hospitalized by VA at time of death), and a $734plot-interment allowance to those who choose to be buriedin a private cemetery. To find out if your dad is eligible,see benefits.va.gov/benefits/factsheets/burials/burial.pdf.

To apply for burial allowances, you’ll need to fill outVA Form 21-530 "Application for Burial Benefits." Youneed to attach a copy of your dad’s discharge document(DD 214 or equivalent), death certificate, funeral andburial bills. They should show that you have paid themin full. You may download the form at va.gov/vaforms.

WHAT ARE THE KEY USES OF CASH?

As an investor, you probably focus your attention onstocks and bonds. But, it’s also important to have somecash available. Why? Consider this acronym: USES.

The “U” stands for unexpected expenses andemergencies. It’s smart to keep three to six months’ worthof living expenses in a cash account designed to meetunanticipated costs, such as a major home repair.

The “S” stands for specific short-term savings goals.The amount you need depends on your near-term goals,such as a vacation or wedding.

“E” is for everyday spending, on items such asgroceries and house payments. You’ll meet most of thesecosts with your paychecks, but you should also keep somecash as a backup. When you retire, you’ll likely needabout a year’s worth of expenses in cash to cover everydayneeds.

Finally, the last “S” is for source of investment. Bykeeping perhaps two or three percent of your portfolio incahs, you can take advantage of investment opportunities.

There you have it: four key USES of cash that canhelp you meet a variety of goals.

COUNCIL LAUNCHESPUSH-UP CHALLENGE

Every day, 22 Americanveterans commit suicide.Last year, more than 8,000homeless North Carolinaveterans contacted the VAfor help.

The VeteransLeadership Council ofNorth Carolina - CARESwas formed to combat theseproblems. The NC Councilof State has given the VLCa $1-a-year lease on acampus of buildings inButner to build theVeterans Life Center, andthey have received a $4.2million CommunityDevelopment Block Grantto refurbish the firstbuilding.

But the VLC has toraise private funds todevelop the program of carethat will truly bring thehelp needed to thoseveterans suffering fromPTSD, Traumatic BrainInjury and other maladiesthat prevent them fromsuccessfully reintegratinginto civilian life.

So the VLC is launchinga program called the Push-Up challenge. The idea isto get people to do 22 push-ups, contribute $22 to helpfund the Veterans LifeCenter, and challenge theirfriends to do likewise.People are also invited tovideo their efforts at thepush-ups, and post thevideos on their Facebookpages.

“This is an interestingand entertaining way forpeople to make a realcontribution to a veryserious problem,” said JohnTurner, Executive Directorof VLCNC-CARES. “TheVeterans Life Center isdesigned to provide clean,safe housing, state-of-the-art mental health services,substance abuse services,life skills and job training -all to get these people whodefended us re-integratedback into society.”
