We have a little less than onemonth and counting to get theword out all across this great landand into every community in theUnited States of America.

On Friday, September 11th,2009, an American flag should bedisplayed outside every home,apartment, office, and store in theUnited States.Every individualshould make ittheir duty to dis-play anAmerican flagon this eighthanniversary ofone of our coun-try's worsttragedies. We dothis to honorthose who losttheir lives on9/11, their fami-lies, friends andloved ones who continue toendure the pain, and those whotoday are fighting athome and abroad to preserve ourcherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks andmonths following 9/11, our coun-try was bathed in American flagsas citizens mourned the incredi-ble losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly,those flags have all but disap-peared. Our patriotism pulled usthrough some tough times and it

shouldn't takeanother attackto galvanize usin solidarity.Our Americanflag is the fab-ric of our coun-try and togeth-er we can pre-vail over ter-rorism of allkindsFly anAmerican flagof any size on9/11. Honestly,

Americans should fly the flagyear-round, but if you don't, thenat least make it a priority on thisday. Thank you for your partici-pation. God Bless You and GodBless America!

WENTWORTH - G.I. Jobsmagazine, the premier publica-tion for military personnel intransition, has designatedRockingham CommunityCollege as a military friendlyschool. This puts RCC in the top15 percent of all colleges, univer-sities and trade schools nation-wide in its service to those in themilitary.

“This designation is a reaffir-mation that we are aware of theunique needs of military person-nel as they seek to improve theireducation,” said RCC President,Dr. Robert Keys.

The magazine annually surveysschools nationwide to determinethe level of services they offer tomembers of the armed forces.

Services include campus clubs,whether academic credit is givenfor military courses and/or expe-rience, if the institution is staffedwith a VA counselor, and whethertuition is cancelled if a person iscalled to active duty. The totalenrollment of the school, the per-centage of veterans enrolled, andwhether the school is situatednear a military base are all taken

into consideration. Kathy Everette, assistant to the

director of financial aid/veterans’affairs at RCC, originally submit-ted the G.I. Jobs magazine surveyin order to discover any weak-nesses in the college’s service tothose in the military. She washonored when the collegereceived such high marks for ser-vice.

PARENTS

AWARE

PROGRAMCOMES TO

ROCKINGHAM

COUNTYWENTWORTH - Sheriff SamPage has announced a new high-way safety initiative for youngdrivers called Parents AwareProgram.

With this new program,when deputies issue teen driversa traffic citation or warning tick-et, the deputy will be required tonotify the parent or guardian ofthe incident. This will cause aparent/guardian to be notified ofmoving violations to driversunder 18 years of age.

Sheriff Page believes thatultimately the young driver willbenefit from parents being noti-fied promptly whenever a deputystops car driven by a teen and thedeputy deems the conduct seri-ous enough to issue a writtencitation/ticket.

School resource officerswithin the county will reinforcethis crime prevention effort bymaking students aware of thepurpose of the program.• To keep parents informed oftheir teens driving behaviors.• To encourage good drivinghabits with our youth.• To deter motor vehicle trafficcollisions.• To educate teens of the dangerswith careless and reckless dri-ving, alcohol consumption anddriving, safety belt requirements, dangers of speeding and cellphone/text messaging while dri-ving violations.

Dear Editorial Board:Recently, at a County

Commissioner’s meeting a citi-zen expressed the desire for localcompanies to be given preferenceon construction projects. In abroader sense, this citizen wasadvocating buy localwhichmakes sense. This same loyaltyand commitment to Rockingham County is what I felt prior to run-ning for office and still feel as a commissioner. Buy local pro-motes the local economy bykeeping local folks employed andkeeps our local tax dollars here athome.

But there is another side tothis argument that I didn’t realizeuntil I became more involved incounty government. When localgovernment (counties or cities)undertakes a major constructionproject or purchase they are notallowed by law to simply awardthe business to a local company. Iwas initially surprised and disap-pointed when I learned this. Butafter considering it, I now under-stand why it is a law.

The State prevents us from asimple buy local approachbecause it would limit fair com-petition, which is a healthy andnecessary element of capitalismthat promotes low costs for thebest possible quality goods andservices. In fact, sometimes notbuying local protects the citizensof our County because while weall want the best possible prod-ucts and services for our tax dol-lars we also want it at the lowest

possible cost. We need fair com-petition to achieve this goal.

This is the dilemma: On onehand, we hope that local busi-nesses will be awarded the con-tracts for goods and services andon the other hand, by law, theymust also be the lowest responsi-ble bidder. A responsible biddermeans they are not just given thejob because they submitted anunrealistically low bid to simplywin the contract. Past perfor-mance and how quickly they cancomplete the project are also con-siderations.

Here are three ways we aretrying to promote both buy localand fair competition:1) We constantly strive toimprove how and what we com-municate because we want every-one to know generally what’sgoing on. But, we also want toprovide local businesses specifi-cally with timely and relevantinformation so they can competefor and hopefully win the bids on projects for which they are bestsuited. Many local companiescall when they hear about pro-jects to inquire about timelines.We advertise major constructionprojects on our website, in thenewspaper, and in constructionnews periodicals at least 14 daysbefore formal bid proposals aredue.2) The County wants local ven-dors to have the chance to com-pete for other types of purchases,too. Even when there are no localvendors of a particular service or

product we still ask for a mini-mum of 3 vendor quotes prior tomost purchases that are $500 ormore to ensure fairness and com-petition. The County maintains alist of vendors to make it easier toaccess local vendor informationfor applicable bids and quotes. Itis difficult to maintain the listcurrent, due to new and changinginformation, but it is a useful tooljust the same.3) Our local economy is chang-ing. Recognizing the challengesof keeping up with change theCounty provides the Business &Technology Center (BTC), asmall business coachingresource. BTC’s primary focus is onsmall and growing local busi-nesses with less than 50 employ-ees. BTC strives to help theselocal businesses become andremain competitive in the econo-my.

The course ahead is opportu-nity. In the end, we need our localeconomy to compete not justlocally but also in the surround-ing local economies, in the south-east region, throughout thenation, and across the globe. Buylocal, of course we want every-one to buy what RockinghamCounty has to offer.Respectfully yours,Amelia W.

Rockingham CountyCommissioners Workshop August 13, 2009

This workshop was for theCommissioners to discuss what’sbefore them for the coming year.

First to be discussed wasstimulus money. Tom Wiggins,Planning Department, and TedNelson, Health Department,talked about purchasing comput-er software to speed up the time ittakes to get permits. If you arefamiliar with software, you knowthat time is important in manyapplications. The software theyare proposing would save ownersand contractors time and trips tothe Governmental Center. Theyalso discussed yard trash, junkcars and hazardous materials infront of houses and businesses.This has been a tough issue andhard to control. Possibly ownerscould store unused materials inthe backyard until they can affordto take it to the landfill, but it isimportant to remember that thispractice could create health haz-ards. Another issue covered wasanimal control. They discussedpossible regulations covering: - Permits to breed animals - conditions for animals - number of animals permitted

Ginger Waynick talkedabout setting up a website at acost of $25,000-$35,000 as afaster way to communicate with-in the county. This would givecitizens an idea of what is goingon in the county.

Bill Holcomb and MikeApple discussed school fundsand about the future of the lot-tery and sales tax funds.

Next to be discussed was thepossibility of using a GPS systemfor prisoners. One position wouldneed to be added to keep track ofthese prisoners, but it would easejail overcrowding.

Space needs of the countywere discussed, including what todo with the old courthouse andthe county home building. Asteering committee has beenappointed to look into this situa-tion, but no names were given.Some of these old buildings mayhave environmental issues to bedealt with, no matter what is donewith them. There was some talkof doing part of the work withoutan architect to save money.Saving money - what a scarythought!

A discussion was held about“Lean management”. Somecounty employees might be con-cerned if they see someone doinga time study in their department.

Constructions projects:There was talk of moving someprisoners from the annex to thenew jail in December, 2010.Before this happens, I understandthat the new 10” water line fromthe water tower to the jail must becompleted. This is a $264,000project, the cost of which is to beshared by the Town ofWentworth, Rockingham Countyand Dan River Water. The totalwill be the County’s responsibili-ty if the other two entities do notparticipate. This can’t wait onstimulus money.

An alternate access road tothe new courthouse/jail complexis being considered. If thelandowner will give the right-of-

way, the county will install theroads and the utilities. The costfor this is estimated at $400,000.

The additional jail pod waspostponed for the present, as thecost of $1,800,000 was consid-ered too high,

The commissioners movedto go ahead with the westernEMS building. And guess what,Pine Hall Brick is to be used.

The status of the HorseCenter of the South was dis-cussed. Same music, but slightlydifferent lyrics! A & T may comeon board.

This session lasted from9:00 AM until 4:30 PM. Not bad,at least we can see where our taxmoney is going. I must say I cansee more concern about coststhan I have seen in quite sometime. Now if we can get archi-tects we employ to be cost-mind-ed as well. We have two projectspresently on the drawing boardthat should be looked at, withcost in mind. Architects are paida percentage on what the build-ings cost, so they have no incen-tive to cut costs. That will be leftup to County personnel.

County CommissionersMeeting August 24, 2009

This meeting covered thehistory of building the animalshelter so that the commissionerscould see what they are dealingwith. The cost of the building isprojected to be $2,089,000.Fundraisers will continue to beheld. Meanwhile, a loan will bereceived from the USDA at aninterest rate of 4%. The Countywill need to get a constructionloan to qualify for the USDAloan. Once the job is completeand has been accepted, USDAwill write one check. PROJECTED COSTTOTAL 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 inOctober, with construction timeestimated to be nine months.

Meeting with Virginia Foxx Mayodan Library August 1, 2009

Virginia Foxx appeared atthe Mayodan Library for what Ihoped was an informationalmeeting. I was hoping she couldgive us hope for a grant to beused in building the proposednew library, but the answer was aquick “no”. This was not really asurprise, as her staff has told mebefore that there is no moneyavailable.

She expounded on her careeras a librarian and how greatlibraries are. She talked about thehealth care bill and said that shehas read part of it. BobbyStanley was present and talkedabout his visit to Canada andwhat he learned about the healthcare situation there. Ms. Foxxhad little time for questions from

those present, due to being sched-uled for more meetings. Sevenpeople were present for thismeeting, the Mayor of Mayodan,two County Commissioners, thelibrary director, one county facil-itator, and two reporters.

Meeting with Brad Miller Rockingham Comm. Col.August 11, 2009

This meeting was sponsoredby Congressman Brad MillerThere was a good turn out ofmostly government employees.Congressman Miller then spokefor 3-4 minutes primarily on howto apply for grants.

After talking with Miller andhis staff I was told that there is nomoney available for the WesternRockingham library. Now wewere told that there are grants,but you have to be on a qualifiedlist to receive them. The listincludes law enforcement, firefighting, arts, infrastructure, etc.Cities and counties have to pro-vide matching funds to get somegrants.

County CommissionersMeeting August 24, 2009 3:30 PM

The first item of businessconcerned the EMS service.Some people seem to think thisservice is free, therefore theCounty has to pick up the tab.After three years of trying to col-lect unpaid fees, $678,806 will bewritten off as not collectible.

Additional federal fundshave been made available for theextra shots required for the H1N1flu this year.

A request was made to goahead with the Horse Center ofthe South and it was approved.The architects were present withtheir staff. These architectsdesigned the Williamston HorseCenter. I have been to that facil-ity and it is first class, so I amsure the same will be true ofRockingham County’s facility.Just a note about this center, I amnot against this project, but I doquestion whether we, as a county,can afford it at this time. The

other three horse centers are statefunded and maintained. Thisseems to be a rich man’s game.

Brenda Ward gave a presen-tation for the Town of Wentworthwanting to lease the oldWentworth Elementary Schoolbuilding as a recreation center forthe Town. Wentworth can get a$25,000 grant, but to do so theyneed a 25-year lease on the build-ing. This seems to be a win-winsituation for both the County andthe Town.

The Jordan Lake projectcame up again. At this timeRockingham County is notincluded, but if circumstancesshould change, cleaning up run-off to the Haw River could provecostly to those involved. Thisincludes about 25% of the county.

Bill Holcomb appearedbefore the Commissioners to askfor a school bond to cover$2,115,144.25 for current costs.These are tax-free bonds. Theproject to build a new DouglasSchool is estimated to cost about$14,000,000, with bids inOctober.

A discussion followed aboutforming a committee to studywildlife. This committee wouldconsider the options to controlthe deer population, such asextending deer season, as deerare causing many automobileaccidents in the County.

NOTES FROM FORREST BRAYForrest Bray spends his limited time attending all the meetings in the county he can get to, and writes editorials as to what he hearsat these meetings. We thank him for his time and occasional wit concerning these meetings and wish we could all attend more of themourselves. Content is strictly editorial.

Joe Davis will be honored inthe newest edition of the EdenEvening Lions Club Calendar for2010.

The first Eden HistoricalCalendar was published for 2005.Joe Davis beganresearching for that cal-endar in January 2004.He spent many hoursreading Eden newspa-pers on microfilm. Thenewspapers were at theEden Public Libraryand the RockinghamCounty CommunityCollege Library. BobCarter introduced him to theRockingham Co. HistoricalJournals. There were interviewswith local people and theLeaksville.com web site. Aftermonths of note taking from thesesources, he began typing theinformation in preparation for thecalendar. It was important to Joethat he use the wording as it wasprinted in the newspaper andmany times that wording wouldhave appalled English teachers

today. There were many Edenresidents that were able to supplyhim with old pictures and memo-rabilia to use in the calendar. The2005 calendar sold 1200 copiesand was in general about

Leaksville, Draper andSpray. They havebecome quite a collec-tor's item.The 2010 calendar willbe the last and coversactivities in theLeaksville area. Joeand wife Janis havemoved to be closer tofamily and their first

grandchild. The Eden EveningLions Club will be eternalllygrateful for the work he has putinto having a calendar every yearsince 2005. He has worked onthis one for about 4 months eventhough he had moved out oftown. It will be ready and in theEden Evening Lions Club trailerat Riverfest.

I love libraries. I alwayshave. When I was growing up,the library in my town had a chil-dren’s section on the lower leveland an adult section on the sec-ond level. I remember when Iwas given my “adult” card andmade the proud ascent to thatplace of mystery and intrigue Ihad longed to enter . Of coursethat was long ago when dinosaurran freely in the land, but I stilllove the library. The place is agoldmine I tell you! The resourcesection, magazines, (picture read-ing your favorites and not havingto subscribe) and borrowingbooks on CD to enjoy as you rideto work, go to the store, or travel.You can make copies, send a faxand do genealogy studies. Needto surf the web? You can getonline with out paying for DSL.All that and there are friendly,professional librarians there toassist you.

I attended a health fair inEden (which was great by theway) and found a librarian at thebranch booth where she was dis-tributing free rulers, bookmarks,pencils and information, all witha smile. If you have not taken atrip to your local library in awhileall I can say is, why? Well, step alittle closer my friend and let mewhet your biblio-appetite withthis information !

First, get a library card after

filling out a short application,showing proof of address and apicture ID. Having done that, aworld is before you of which youmay have been unaware. Thereare video games, recorded music,DVD’s, large print books to bor-row and so much more. What doI mean by “more”? I’m glad youasked. Many branches inRockingham County provideFREE computer classes andmeeting space for public use.

The Outreach Dept. uses aBookmobile and a minivan toreach those who are not able tovisit a branch. Did you knowthere is a library radio showevery third Wednesday of everymonth on WLOE/WMYN ?There are 3 Friends of theLibrary groups that promote andimprove library services. Contactyour branch for more informationon how to join. You can availyourself of a host of employmentlinks, local and national, as wellas job search and resume infor-mation. If you’re not warming upthe car right now to head over torevisit the library ask some one totake your pulse. Oh, that’s right,they’re at the library! Your local library… Photocopier - .25 per page Printing - .25 per page A Library Card and a visit to yourlocal Library…Priceless!

Eden City Hall is proud towelcome a professional photog-rapher as the September Artist ofthe Month. Andrea Despot, aMartinsville native, is a graduateof The Art Institute of FortLauderdale and in addition todoing freelance work is a full-time photographer forCollinsville Printing Company.

According to Despot, hercollection of photographs on dis-play at City Hall is intended to“celebrate the art of objects.Many of the subjects are of ordi-nary items that have been pho-tographed to enhance their natur-al color, texture and shape. Alsoincluded in the exhibit are pho-tographs of people and placesthat are included to reinforce theoverall significance of vibrantcolor.”

Despot has been an artistfrom her earliest days. “Therewas never a doubt in my mindthat I wouldn’t end up being anartist of some kind. There wasnever a notion that there wassomething else I would rather dowith my life. I was born an artist.Art is in my blood,” Despot said.And indeed, she is the child of anartist. Despot’s mother is wellknown in the art scene and isowner of de Spot, an art gallery

and gift shop in Martinsville thatalso houses an exhibit ofDespot’s work.

Though she studied mostlydrawing and sketching in herhigh school art classes, somehowDespot’s artistic endeavorsturned to photography. “The firstcamera I had, I bought with themoney I made babysitting duringthe summer after my freshmanyear of high school. I found that Ididn’t take the normal snapshotsof my family and friends, but myeyes were drawn more towardordinary objects,” she said.

Despot is a member of thePiedmont Arts Association andhas won several awards for herwork. Her photographs are in col-lections in 10 states, as well asthe United Kingdom.

Despot’s work will be ondisplay Sept. 1-30 and may beviewed weekdays 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.at Eden City Hall, located at 308E. Stadium Drive.

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. Vitaminsare substances that your body needs to grow and function the right way, ones your body can’t pro-duce by itself. Not everyone agrees a multivitamin is necessary for all people. After all, if your dietis 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 youeat. Growing evidence indicates that several vitamins can help ward off serious diseases, such ascancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Plus, it is really hard to get the right amounts of some vita-mins through diet. For example, you’d need to eat eight servings of fruits or four to six servings ofvegetables daily to get the required amount of folic acid. This is an essential nutrient that’s beenshown 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 haveany allergies to vitamins and whether a multivitamin might interact poorly with any of your med-ications.

Here are a couple of general guidelines to follow. Know that a store-brand multivitamin is justas good as a name brand—and cheaper, too. But steer clear of super-cheap multivitamins in close-out or dollar stores. A Consumer Report test showed that nearly half failed to contain the labeledamount 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 ofa good thing can be harmful. But know that you may need extra of certain vitamins, such as vitaminD, 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 liq-uids, 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 alsodepends 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 noreal substitute for eating healthy food. It offers unique advantages, such as fiber and other com-pounds that may help prevent disease.

His typicalworkday includes monitoring theinterior and exterior of the schoolfor security issues and he occa-sionally intercedes in disputesbetween students and when nec-essary, files charges or makes anarrest. When asked what he likesabout his job, Robertsonresponded “being able to talk topeople (students, faculty andstaff) in a normal environment.It’s nice to be able to interact withpeople when there isn’t a prob-lem involved. On patrol, officersalmost always make contact withsomeone because of a negativesituation.”

Robertson grew up in Edenand continues to live here. “I’mfond of Eden because it’s not toobig, but not too small. Eden isactually bigger than most peoplethink. Most officers can attest toits size since we sometimes haveto respond from one side of thecity to the other,” Robertson said.He suggested a couple of ways hewould like to see Eden grow inthe future: “It would be nice tohave some more industry in Eden… anything to help the economy.I also miss having a bookstore inthe city. One of the big name

book sellers in the city limitswould be great.”

In his own future,Robertson plans to continue hiscareer with the Eden PoliceDepartment, contributing to itsgrowth and success in the com-munity.

When he’s not serving thecommunity, Robertson enjoysmartial arts, video and tabletopgames, reading and sketching.Something you might be sur-prised to learn about Robertson?He’s a fan of magicians and illu-sionists and has actually studiedwith a professional magician inthe past.

Art Herzog of Art HerzogFinancial Ministries out ofSummerfield, NC has madearrangements with Pastor TorrieEaslier for a two day BiblicalStewardship seminar to takeplace at Pleasant View BaptistChurch in Eden. Art Ally,founder of Timothy Plan, a fami-ly of mutual funds offering indi-viduals a biblical choice when itcomes to investing, will be con-ducting the two day event.

Art Herzog, a Certified FinancialPlanner (CFP®) with 18 years offinancial planning and advisingexperience and a part-time eco-nomics professor at GreensboroCollege serves pastors andchurch congregations as a finan-cial missionary. His vision is tobring high quality BiblicalStewardship teachings toRockingham County and the sur-rounding area. In light of the cur-rent economic condition and theeven more difficult times inRockingham County, this semi-nar is very timely.

Mr. Herzog states “This is aspecial event - Art Ally is makinga personal appearance and will beconducting the seminar. I don’tbelieve a seminar like this hasever taken place in thisarea…and to have the founder ofthe program actually come andconduct it is truly special.”

Stewardship is an issue thatis still foreign to many, but onceapplied to every day living, canchange your entire outlook onlife. Biblical Stewardship is tak-ing the main points of being asteward, and applying them witha perspective according to God’s

word. Anyone who attends theseminar and applies God’s princi-ples for Biblical Stewardship totheir life will see dramaticchanges occur.”

Statistics are alarming. 80%of Americans are so in debt thatthey live paycheck to paycheck.51% of Christian marriages endin divorce – 80% of the time thedivorce is related to financialissues. 3.5% of income is theaverage amount given by churchmembers that do give; but up to50% of active church membersgive nothing for the cause ofChrist. 85% of Americans haveonly $250 saved up by retire-ment, and most do not have wills,Power of Attorneys and otherimportant estate documents.

Mr. Herzog added “Theseare difficult times. There are somany folks out there strugglingto make ends meet each day.However, there is a solution to allof these problems – God’s word.”

The seminar will take placeon October 9 from 6:00 pm to9:00 pm and on October 10 from8:30 am to 3:00 pm. The cost ofmaterials is $20 per participantand must be ordered prior to theseminar. Refreshments andsnacks will be provided.

Please RSVP by September28 by contacting Mr. Herzog viae-mail at [email protected] or by tele-phone at 336-420-9973.

LESSONS FROM A BEARMARKET

If you invest for many years,you’ll eventually encounter bothbull and bear markets. Althoughyou obviously prefer seeing thebull, you may actually learn morefrom the bear — and when it’s“hibernating,” you can put theselessons to good use in makinginvestment moves for the future.

Here are some of the key“bear market lessons” to consider:* Purchase quality invest-ments. A bear market tends todrag everything down with it. Butquality investments — those withstrong fundamentals and goodprospects — have the potential tobounce back quickly once thebear market ends. That’s whyyou’ll want to consider owningthese quality vehicles in allinvestment climates. In fact, tryto avoid owning investmentstoday that you wouldn’t want toown in a bear market tomorrow.* Maintain realistic expecta-tions. Many investors look backfondly at the mid-to-late 1990s,when we frequently experienceddouble-digit stock marketreturns. Unfortunately, theseresults “raised the bar” in termsof what investors expect — andthese elevated expectations led toproblems for people whose long-term financial goals were basedon overly optimistic projections.By anticipating more modest

returns, you’ll be able to set morerealistic, achievable goals. At thesame time, don’t be surprised atthe recurrence of bear markets,which are a normal part of theinvesting process.* Know your risk tolerance. Ifyou find yourself losing sleepover the fate of your investmentsin the midst of a bear market, youmay need to review your risk tol-erance and adjust your portfolioaccordingly. But keep things inperspective. Instead of frettingover daily or monthly downturns,ask yourself this: “How muchcan I afford to lose and still meetmy financial goals, such asachieving a comfortable retire-ment?” You’ll come up with dif-ferent answers at different stagesof your life.* Base investment decisionson principles — not predictions.Everybody can make investmentpredictions — and they usuallydo. But many of these prognosti-cators have poor track records.So, instead of acting on predic-tions, base your investment deci-sions on principles, such as buy-ing quality investments, main-taining a long-term perspectiveand diversifying your portfolio.While diversification can’t guar-antee a profit or protect against aloss, it can help reduce risk whenthe market is volatile.* Maintain adequate liquidity.If you are planning on cashingout a long-term investment to pay

for a major expense, such as adown payment on a home or col-lege tuition for a child, you couldrun into difficulty if a bear mar-ket is raging and the value ofyour investments have dropped.To avoid this problem, maintain aportion of your portfolio in liquidinvestments. Although thesevehicles won’t provide you witha high return, they offer greaterpreservation of principal —which is just what you need whenyou need the money now.* Look for good investmentopportunities. During a bear mar-ket, you can almost always findquality investments. While theirprices may be down, these invest-ments can still offer good growthpotential — and typically, thebest time to buy them is whentheir value is down.

By following these lessons,you can prepare yourself for abear market — and help avoidgetting “clawed” by it.

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had animportant meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up toheaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking placeI will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up meIrish Whiskey!' Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddylooked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolledan elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to thereceptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I wasthinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off hismother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand onthe man's, he said, 'I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride inthe stroller too!

Paul Newman founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for childrenstricken with cancer, AIDS and blood diseases. One afternoon he andhis wife, Joanne Woodward, stopped by to have lunch with the kids.A counselor at a nearby table, suspecting the young patients wouldn'tknow that Newman was a famous movie star, explained, 'That's theman who made this camp possible. Maybe you've seen his picture onhis salad dressing bottle?' Blank stares. 'Well, you've probably seen hisface on his lemonade carton.' An eight-year-old girl perked up. 'Howlong was he missing?'

His wife's grave side service was just barely finished, when there wasa massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning,accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The lit-tle old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, 'Well, she's there.

THE CHRISTIAN DRIVERA 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 theintersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, scream-ing in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the inter-section, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window andlooked up into the face of a very serious police officer.

The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He tookher to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, pho-tographed, 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 deskwhere the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled upbehind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off theguy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' License plateholder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper Sticker, and thechrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally...Iassumed you had stolen the car."

THE BLONDE DRIVERA blonde and a brunette

were talking, and the blonde wasvery stressed. The brunette askedher what was the matter. Theblonde proceeded to tell her thatshe really needed to sell her car,but no one would buy because ithas 130,000 miles on it.

The brunette said to her, "Iknow a way that will help yousell it.

I have a friend who can helpyou, but it's illegal."

The blonde said, "I'll doanything." So the brunette gavethe blonde the phone number of aguy who could turn back theodometer on her car.

A week later the blonde andthe brunette crossed paths, andthebrunette asked the blonde ifshe had sold her car yet.

The blonde said, "Whywould I sell a car with only40,000 miles on it?!"
