The vote to hire Sojkawas not unanimus. Thedissenting votes werecast by Patrick Cox andLeonard Peace. Vice-Chairman Donnie Boydchaired the meeting dueto Chairwoman BrendaDickerson-Daniel beingabsent due to ascheduling conflict.

McLendon, Humphreyand Leonard LLP, whichhad conducted aninvestigation of theboard’s contractprocedures with thedistrict’s topa d m i n i s t r a t o r s ,resulting in theresignation ofSuperintendent TimothyFarley in early June.

Sojka assumed theduties of interim schoolboard attorney when theboard excused then-school board attorneyJim Cross fromrepresenting the boardfor the remainder of hiscontract, which ranthrough July.

Vice-Chairman Boydsaid four proposals werereceived to fill theposition. Oxford

attorneys A. ChanceWilkinson and R. GeneEdmundson submittedproposals, as did RichardA. Schwartz of Raleighand Sojka.

The board alsoapproved revisions to theboard policy dealing withthe board attorney. Themajor change states theattorney will serve at thepleasure of the boardrather than be retainedon a one-year contract.

Because Sojka has anongoing commitment onthe first Monday of eachmonth , the board’sregular meeting time ,the board discussedchanging the scheduledmeeting times. Theboard changed its nextmeeting from Sept. 8 toSept. 4. At that meeting,

V ic’s C ooking C orner

Victor Mandrillo by

by Mary M. RussellI went home to visit my family in Brooklyn, New

York, where I was born and raised. The morning Iwas due to return to my home in Creedmoor, Isurprisingly became a first responder to a fire in anapartment building in the neighborhood I grew upin.

After a couple of weeks visiting family, shoppingand visiting my home church, it was time for me toreturn home in Creedmoor, where I lived for 12 years.My last night in Brooklyn, New York, I stayed withmy aunt who still lives in the neighborhood where Igrew up.

Early Tuesday morning, July 22, 2014, my aunthelped me load my bags into my car. She realizedshe forgot her cell phone and wanted me to go withher to get it.

I happened to glance up at my rear view windowand saw black smokecoming from the buildingin front of my aunt’sbuilding. I got out of thecar and began walkingtowards the building withmy aunt (who still did notnotice). I yelled theapartment is on fire! Theapartment is on fire! Icould hear fire trucks ata distance. I heardsomeone yell, “There arekids in there!”

Without giving it asecond thought, I shovedmy purse to my aunt andran towards the building.I went to the stairs with intentions of running upfour flights, but the black smoke was so thick, I thenremembered the many years of first respondertraining with the Federal Bureau of Prisons,“personal safety first.” You can’t help anyone if youneed help. I ran back out of the building. The firetruck was there with the ladder and bucket makingits way to the fourth floor window.

By that time, two NYCP officers approached meand I told them there were three kids in theapartment. We waited for the fire fighters to lowerthe kids down. I handed two small boys to two of thewaiting officers, and I ran to show them where theambulance was waiting. Both boys were breathing.

However, I turned around and saw a firefighterholding a smaller boy that appeared to be limped. Ilocked eyes with the firefighter and he shook hishead. I ran to him and took the boy out his arms andran towards the ambulance. The youngest boy wasn’tbreathing and didn’t have a pulse.

When I got back to the ambulance I threw thechild in the arms of the EMT and yelled, “Nobreathing, no pulse!...no breathing, no pulse! Theyimmediately started to work on him. I was scaredfor him. I said a prayer for him. One female policeofficer gave me the thumbs up and yelled he’sbreathing! I was so relieved.

The fire was put out and the boys were off to thelocal hospital. I was then ready to leave and get onthe highway to get home.

During the drive home, I began to realize what Ihad done. I couldn’t believe it. It seemed likeeverything happened so fast. I am just glad I wasthere, and able to assist.

I am so thankful for my training. Although, I maybe retired now, you will never forget your training.It will always be a part of you.

This past June, Melinda and I enjoyed a 13 dayMediterranean cruise. We had many ports of callthroughout the Mediterranean and had some deliciousmeals during our excursions off of the ship. In Athenswe were treated to a wonderful lunch that featured achicken roulades dish that Melinda and I really liked. Imade a note to look up a recipe when we got back. Ifound a recipe on the intranet that was close to what wehad in Athens and gave it a whirl. The dish came outpretty good, not as good as the chicken roulades weenjoyed in the famous Greek city, but close. It is difficultto re-create a dish like this exactly because of thedifferences in meats and spices available to you inCreedmoor compared to Greece. But it was close and amain course you should try. Enjoy!

Greek Style Chicken RouladesIngredients:10 Kalamata olives, pits removed 2 boneless chicken

breasts, skin removed4 Tbsp. bread crumbs 1/3 cup

diced white onion2 Tbsp. sun dried tomatoes in oil 1/2 cup dry white wine1 Tbsp. lemon zest 1 1/4 cup chicken broth3 garlic cloves 1 Tbsp. lemon juice1 Tsp. dried oregano 1 Tsp. Cornstarch2 Tbsp. olive oil

Preparation:Divide the olives in half. Set aside 5 for later and

put the other five with bread crumbs, sun driedtomatoes, lemon zest, garlic and dried oregano into afood processor and pulse until well minced and mixed.Using either a meat mallet or a rolling pin, place thechicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap andbeat the breast until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Removethe breast from the plastic wrap and lay on a cleansurface. Spread the olive-tomato filling from theprocessor evenly on to the flattened chicken breast androll from the thin end to the wide end and secure withtooth picks.

(Note: If you have extra filling that is okay and youmay discard it. Do not over fill the chicken breast.)In a frying pan heat the olive oil on medium heat andsaute the chicken breasts until browned on all sides.Remove from the pan and set aside. Add a touch moreolive oil if needed and put onions in the frying pan andcook for 1-2 minutes. Add wine. Chop the remaining 5olives and add to the frying pan along with the chickenbroth and bring to a boil. Then put the roulades backinto the frying pan and reduce heat to low and cover for10 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl combine the lemon juice andcornstarch. Remove the chicken from the pan to aserving dish and stir the lemon juice and cornstarchmixture into the pan. Cut the roulades into 1 inchserving pieces and pour gravy over the meat. Serve withorzo or other starch of your choice and a nice green salad.

10a The Butner-Creedmoor News, Thursday, August 14, 2014

BY L. LEE ISLEY

CEO OF GHSLast week this

column outlined howGranville HealthSystem’s “Tell Me Now”customer servicecampaign has called ourcommunity to action. Italked about how ouremployees have beenchallenged to reach outto patients and theirfamilies, asking themhow we can meet andexceed theirexpectations during astay at their communityhospital. Likewise, we’reasking the community toshare their thoughts andexpectations on how wecan best serve them.

We discussed howthe “Tell Me Now”initiative is the rightthing to do – we want tobe a good community

partner in offeringexcellent customerservice while deliveringquality care. We alsospoke about thechanging environment inhealth care and whatGranville Health Systemmust accomplish in thecoming years to succeedin our industry’s newdelivery of care model.

As part of theAffordable Care Act, thefederal government istaking strides tostrengthen the wayhealth care is delivered.The Center for Medicare& Medicaid Services(CMS) is nowreimbursing hospitals inpart for the level ofquality care andcustomer service theyprovide to theircommunity. The level ofreimbursement is basedon patient satisfactionscores.

When a patient isdischarged fromGranville MedicalCenter after an inpatientstay, they may receive atelephone call to askabout their experience.The survey process is aCMS requirement andanswers receivedthrough the survey are

the basis for our patientsatisfaction scores, andultimately reflect thelevel of reimbursementthe hospital receives forthe services we provide.CMS developed thequestions and each one isasked in a veryprescribed manner,posed exactly the same toeach survey participant.It’s a long survey; thereare 27 questions. But thequestion I want to focuson today is about apatient’s overallsatisfaction.

The question reads,“Using any number from0 to 10, where 0 is theworst hospital expe-rience possible and 10 isthe best hospitalexperience possible,what number would youuse to rate this hospitalduring your stay?” Ofcourse, our staff wouldlike to receive a 10 everytime.

I’m going to be honestwith you. I’ve alwaysbeen an “8” kind of guy.As a consumer, when I’mpleased with anexperience, I typicallygive a score of 8. Givingan 8 means that I reallyliked a product or aservice, right? I don’t

usually give a 9 or a 10because that would leaveno room forimprovement.

Here’s the rub,according to thegovernment’s scoringsystem, any score for ahospital stay that islower than a 9 is thesame thing as a 0.Simply stated, themeasurement of serviceand the reimbursementrate is the same for a 0as for an 8.

You may ask, “Whydoes this matter?” Thismatters because if yourated your stay as an 8,thinking that scorereflected a good stay inthe hospital with greatcustomer service andquality care, you’dactually be giving thehospital a score thatequaled a 0, equating uswith a facility thatprovided substandardservice. In addition, thehospital would bereimbursed for that careat the same rate as a 0rating.

I would likeunderscore thatreimbursement ratesmatter greatly tohospitals. Decisionsmade in Washington and

Raleigh has had realand immediate financialrepercussions to allNorth Carolinahospitals, includingGranville HealthSystem. Cuts toreimbursements forservice and the state’sdecision not to expandMedicaid for theuninsured havechallenged how wetraditionally delivercare here in thecommunity. In thishealth careenvironment, hospitalscontinue to be tasked todo more with less. GHShas accepted thischallenge and throughthe “Tell Me Now”campaign will continueto seek importantfeedback from you, thecommunity we serve.

Here’s how you canhelp. “Tell Me Now”gives you a voice. Itallows our patients topartner with theircommunity hospital inmeeting the challengesof the Affordable CareAct. “Tell Me Now”provides our patientsthe opportunity to let usknow when they need ablanket, to tell us abouttheir pain or request a

drink. “Tell Me Now” setsthe stage for your overallsatisfaction as a patientof Granville HealthSystem. With thesupport of yourpartnership and honestfeedback GHS will reachits goal.

To be sure, the goal ofthe campaign is not geta 10 from you on atelephone survey; it’sabout earning your 100%satisfaction. GHS andour Board of Trusteesremain committed toearning your completesatisfaction because youdeserve it. Your familyand friends deserve it.Granville Countydeserves it.

In my next column,we’ll discuss howGranville Health Systemis creating a culture ofcustomer service. In themeantime, pleasecontact me with yourthoughts and ideas oncustomer service andhow we can earn a 10during your next visit.Please contact me byemail at TellMeNow@granvillemedical.comor visit ghsHospital.org/TellMeNow for moreinformation.

How to Find the BestReacher Grabber Tool

Dear Savvy Senior,What kinds of reacher grabber tools can you

recommend for seniors who need help picking thingsup off the ground. I bought a cheap one at Walmarta few months ago that doesn’t work very well forme, and would like to find one that does.

Need a HandDear Need,

A good reacher grabber is a very handy tool foranyone with mobility issues. It works like anextension of your arm allowing you to reach downand pick things up off the ground without bendingor stooping over. It can also help with reaching andgrabbing things in high overhead places, as well asareas that are difficult to get to.

But with so many different reachers on themarket today, finding a good one that works wellfor you is not always easy. Depending on your needs,here are some top options to consider.

Lightweight reacher: If you want a reacherprimarily for picking up small lightweight itemsaround the house, the “Aluminum Reacher withMagnetic Tip” by Duro-Med is multifunctional.Available in 32 and 26-inch lengths, it has a trigger-style handgrip with a serrated jaw that provides asecure grip when lifting objects. It also has a magnetbuilt into the tip for picking up lightweight metalobjects like a paperclip, and a small hook (or horn)that aids in retrieving things like clothes, shoes orkeys. But, because of its lightweight design, itdoesn’t work as well at retrieving heavier items likecanned goods from shelves.

All-purpose reacher: For retrieving small andmedium-sized items, the “Ettore Grip’n Grab” canhandle most chores. Available in 16, 32 and 50-inchlengths, it has a soft comfortable trigger handgripand a rubberized jaw that’s strong enough to liftobjects up to 5 pounds and up to 4 inches wide, yetsensitive enough to pick up something as small as adime. The jaw can also swivel 90 degrees to reachthings in awkward spaces.

Ergonomic handle reachers: If you have hand orwrist arthritis that makes gripping difficult, the 31-inch “Medline Reacher” has a handgrip that lets youuse all five fingers to close the jaw for better grippingpower. Or, consider the new “HealthSmart GripLocSliding Reacher,” a 43-inch two-handed reacher witha power slide handle that opens and closes the jaw(no hand squeezing required), and a twist lock thatlocks the jaw when it’s clinched to secure your item.

Folding reacher: For easier storage or travel, the32-inch “EZ Reacher Collapsible” has a slip-joint inthe arm that allows it to fold in half. It also hasstainless steel fingers with silicone suction cup tipsthat do a nice job of picking up large and small items;and a pistol grip with an optional safety lock thatlocks the jaw onto items without continuouslysqueezing the trigger.

Adjustable length reacher: If you need a reacherfor various lengths, the “PikStik TelescoPik” has alockable sliding shaft that adjusts from 30 to 44inches. It also has a trigger grip and a rotatingrubberized jaw that can lift up to 5 pounds.

Outdoor reacher: For outdoor use, the 36-inch“Unger Nifty Nabber” is ideal for heavy-duty jobs.It has a rubber-coated jaw for a strong and reliablegrip with a built-in magnet, an aluminum handleand can lift 20 pounds.Where to Buy

You can buy reacher grabbers at manypharmacies, retail, medical equipment and homeimprovement stores. But, because it’s a specialtyitem, the selection is very limited. Your best bet isto buy one online at amazon.com, which sells all ofthe top reachers at prices ranging between $12 and$40. Just type the product name in the search barto find it.

Two of the key concerns in our economy areunemployment and inflation. We want both to below. When unemployment is low, more people havejobs and earn income. When inflation is low, thedollars we earn don’t lose purchasing power as fast.That is, our dollars buy more with low inflation thanwith high inflation. The bottom line is lowunemployment and low inflation make for higherliving standards.

During the last four years, jobs have been createdand the unemployment rate has fallen. Certainlywe’d like the improvements to occur faster and bemore widespread, but we do see improvement in thelabor market. But while these gains are happening,a new worry is emerging: higher inflation!

When I began my training in economics in the1960s, it was commonly accepted thatunemployment and inflation moved in oppositedirections. A country could have low unemploymentand high inflation or high unemployment and lowinflation, but not both low unemployment and lowinflation.

The reasoning was that more jobs would lead tomore spending, thereby giving businesses the abilityto increase prices at a faster rate – which is thedefinition of higher inflation.

But in the 1970s the accepted unemployment/inflation tradeoff fell apart. The country experiencedboth high unemployment and high inflationtogether, something the conventional economicwisdom said couldn’t happen. In fact, a new term,“stagflation,” was coined to describe the situation,and a new measure, the “misery index,” acombination of the unemployment rate and inflationrate, was developed to calibrate the phenomenon.Current economic thinking says there may be atemporary opposite relationship betweenunemployment and inflation – meaning if theunemployment rate falls, the inflation rate rises –but the relationship is not permanent. Instead,economists now believe any inflation rate can existwith any given unemployment rate. Societies don’thave to accept a high inflation rate in order to obtaina low unemployment rate.

So, if job growth and a lower jobless rate don’tcause higher inflation, then what does? Onepossibility was summarized by the late economistMilton Friedman when he said inflation results from“too much money chasing too few goods.” Thoseworrying about jumps in future inflation rates pointto the double-digit annual growth rates in themonetary base engineered by the Federal Reservein recent years.

While much of this monetary base effectivelyremains in the vaults of banks, inflation-pessimistssay it could just be a matter of time before thosereserves are deployed in the form of loans. Once thisoccurs, according to these economists, inflation couldexplode.

Yet not all economists are on board with thisominous forecast. A major reason is something calledthe “velocity of money.” In Friedman’s descriptionof inflation resulting from “too much money chasingtoo few goods,” think of velocity as indicating howfast the money is running. For a given quantity ofmoney, the lower velocity is, the lower inflation is.Today money velocity is low – very low. Somemeasures put it at a 50-year low. Low interest ratestypically cause low money velocity, since theforegone interest earnings from holding money isvery low. And interest rates are also very low today.So inflation-optimists say as long as money velocityand interest rates remain low, there is littlelikelihood of inflation igniting.

Do the recent data on inflation support eitherthe inflation-pessimists or inflation-optimists?

During the past year (June 2013-June 2014), the“all-item” retail level inflation rate was 2.1 percent.This is exactly at the average of the previous fouryears, but is a little higher than the 2012-2013 year.Of course, the prices of individual products can riseat faster or slower rates than the “all-item” average.For example, last year meat prices were up morethan 7 percent and dairy prices rose 4 percent,largely due to the drought in key farming regions.In contrast, new car prices remained flat andclothing prices edged up only 1 percent.

So should we worry about faster inflationcoming? In the near-term the answer is probably“yes.” If the jobless rate continues to drop, experienceshows the inflation rate may bump higher — at leastfor a temporary period.

In the longer-term, if banks begin to bump uptheir loans, thereby putting significantly moremoney in circulation, then we could also have alonger lasting inflation problem — unless there is acounterbalancing action. The Federal Reserve couldtake action to curtail the loans. Or, if the nation’sproduction also jumps into a higher gear to makemore products and services for consumers to buy,then inflation could remain tame.

Economists, just like everyone else, are stilltrying to decide what will occur and where inflation

RAISING GRANDCHILDRENCAN BRING TAX BREAKS

In recent years, more and more grandparentshave found themselves raising their grandchildren.If you're one of them, you may qualify for one ormore of these tax breaks.

If you're single and caring for a grandchild, youmay be able to file your tax return as head ofhousehold, which offers lower tax rates than singlestatus. Your grandchild must live with you for overhalf the year, be under age 19 at year-end (under 24if a student), and have provided less than one-halfof her own support for the year.

You may also be able to claim your grandchildas a dependent, if you're the one providing more thanone-half of her support. This will entitle you to anadditional exemption ($3,950 for 2014) and will alsoenable you to include her medical and dentalexpenses when computing your allowable medicaldeductions.

If you're working but must pay for yourgrandchild's care to do so, you may qualify for acredit equal to a percentage of the expenses. Yourgrandchild must live with you more than half theyear and be a dependent, either under age 13 orotherwise unable to care for himself.

Working grandparents may also be able to claimthe earned income credit (EIC). Their grandchildmust qualify as a dependent, except he may providemore than half of his own support. More affluentgrandparents won't be eligible for this credit, sinceincome restrictions apply.

Child tax credits are available to mostgrandparents with dependent grandchildren underage 17. Although income limitations apply, they areless restrictive than those for the EIC.

Additional tax breaks may be available tograndparents who pay to educate their dependentor otherwise qualifying grandchildren. Contact usfor more details about all of these tax-savingopportunities.

Are You A Baby Boomer? Don’t LetRetirement Plans Go Bust

If you’re a baby boomer, you may be thinkingabout retirement with some concern. And youwouldn’t be alone. About 50 percent of boomers havelittle confidence that they will ever be able to retire,according to a recent AARP survey.

What can you do to help alleviate this concern?If you’re a younger baby boomer, you still have

time to take actions, such as boosting your 401(k)and IRA contributions. But even if you are nearingretirement, you can take steps to help improve youroutcome.

For one thing, you may be able to adjust yourinvestment mix to provide you with the combinationof growth and income that can help carry youthrough your retirement years. And you can alsobe strategic about which investments you starttaking withdrawals from, possibly allowing yourportfolio to grow more than you had envisioned.

With some careful planning, and by making theright moves, you can be a boomer whose retirementplans don’t go bust.
