To top the cake with delicious frosting, Avent will end with a brief but exciting auction of some interesting stuff that he grows.

It also supports the North Carolina/Cumberland County Exten- sion Master Gardener Volunteers in their effort to educate residents in state-approved horticulture practices.

Replacing the MARCH 2019 13 battery early will prevent a tow bill and costly repairs. A full inspection will include a test of the battery with a professional-grade battery tester. 3. Drive belts harden in cold temperatures, which can cause them to crack or wear out in their grooves. Cracks can be checked visually, and wear to the grooves can be checked with a belt gauge at a quality repair shop. A failed belt can cause a loss of power steering, overheating, loss of electrical power and stalling. 4. Using the wiper blades to clean an icy windshield even a couple of times can make the blades become worn and streaky. If yours leave streaks across the windshield, replace them soon to prepare for the coming spring showers. 5. Have all the steering and suspension inspected for wear or damage caused by icy or snow-covered roads. Road salt can also cause accelerated wear on steering and suspension components. It is also typical to need an alignment this time of year to adjust the angle of the wheels to decrease tire wear. 6. Have all of the fluids checked. Although it is common practice to top off all fluids, the only one that should ever need to be topped off is the washer fluid. All other fluids on modern vehicles are in sealed systems — meaning that if they're low, there is likely a problem. Typical fluids to check are: engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant and brake fluid. Have any system that is low checked for leaks. Now that you know what to have done, here are a couple tips for making sure you truly need what is recommended to you and that you get what you pay for: • Look for a shop that employs ASE-certified technicians. ASE stands for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. • Never hesitate to ask to see items before they are replaced in your vehicle. You can also ask to keep your old parts. By doing this, you can see the problem with them and verify that they were replaced. • Make sure the shop you go to knows that you want to know why they recommend something and how it will benefit you.

Well, of course, I’m about to have a hissy fit. Here this man is in my back seat, talkin’ about a smoke and all I could think about was, I knew it was a bad time to stop smoking. After just a few seconds, which seemed like minutes, it dawned on me that I had not turned off my walk- ie-talkie that I use at work and that a trucker’s radio had cut in on my walkie. Needless to say, when I got myself together, the voice wasn’t speaking to me about a smoke but his buddy up the road — Ole Smokie, the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Well, if somethin’ like that don’t wake you up, nothin’ will. It’s amazing how little things can wake you up in more ways than one. I’ve tried to get out of my car at 4 a.m. — in my own yard — and a possum charged at me just as I opened the car door. I slammed the door back. The possum turned and walked away. After tryin’ to exit my car for about the third time, I finally called my husband and told him to come get me. Of course, my husband sounded confused and asked where I was and why did he need to come get me out of my own car … in our driveway. As soon as he turned on the outside light and opened the door, the possum turned and went back into the woods. Ya’ll know my husband won’t ever let me forget that. Oh, the stories and laughs we night shift people share; only the folks who work at night can believe all the tales. So, beware, there are a lot of things that roam at night. I have to say, the good Lord got me home through all that. These days my night ends around 9 p.m., if I can stay awake that long. This is Just Judy, just sayin,’ ya’ll holler at me. I want to hear about the laughter in your life — at work, home or play. MARCH 2019 15 MARCH 2019 15

DR. STACYE BLOUNT Dr. Stacye Blount is associate professor and assistant chairperson in the Department of Sociology at Fayetteville State University. She serves Associate Professor, as co-faculty advisor for the Campus Kitchen at Fayetteville State Fayetteville State University University and is a former board member of Sustainable Sandhills. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and traveling. A ccording to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, National Nutrition Month is an annual campaign celebrated in March that focuses on some broad tenets of nutrition education, including making informed food choices, developing and maintaining healthy eating habits and implementing physical activity into lifestyles. While it is noble to celebrate healthy eating, we must remain cognizant of barriers that separate individuals from food security, a precursor to nutritious eating. Heralded as a social movement, food justice initiatives seek to mitigate these barriers. Food justice has its roots in social justice. In a chapter from the 1997 book “Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice,” Lee Anne Belle asserted that social justice is concerned with the organization of society such that it (the organization of society) supports and affirms human dignity. In other words, a social justice orientation turns attention on societal responsibility for challenging inequities and marginalization. Food justice focuses on intentional activities and policies ensuring that healthy, affordable, nutritious, locally Households have no problems, or anxiety about, consistently accessing adequate food. Households have problems or anxiety at times about accessing adequate food, but the quality, variety and quantity of their food is not substantially reduced. Households reduce the quality, variety and desirability of their diets, but the quantity of food intake and normal eating patterns are not substantially disrupted. At times during the year, eating patterns of one or more household members are disrupted and food intake reduced because the household lacks money or other resources for food. 16 MARCH 2019 16 MARCH 2019

grown and culturally-appropriate food is available to all Join Us individuals and is grown with concern for well-being of land, animals and workers. 2019 Gallery Events Food justice is also tied to food security. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, food security April 18th is the ability of all people to have access at all times to June 18th enough food for an active, healthy life. Food security October 1st programs may have a goal of reducing hunger; however, they may not shed light on larger forces that produce hunger. Unlike food justice, food security does not include intentional attention to structural forces that divide food- secure communities from food-insecure communities. Thus, food justice scholars posit that it is important to implement food security initiatives within a food justice context. How does this discussion about food security, food justice, nutrition and healthy eating connect with Cumberland County? According to the Southeastern University Consortium on Hunger, Poverty, and Nutrition, in 2015, 20 percent of the population in Cumberland County was food insecure — that’s 64,530 individuals. The number of children eligible for free and reduced- price school meals was 19,670. Seventy-two percent of eligible children received free and reduced-price school lunch. Forty percent of eligible children received free and reduced-priced school breakfast, and 9 percent of eligible children received free summer meals. Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina engages in stellar work to reduce hunger in its seven- county service area. As a matter of fact, according to the Feeding America website, the food bank distributes 7,897,622 meals to people annually. For National Nutrition Month, should we celebrate healthy eating? Yes. Celebrate making informed food choices? Yes. Celebrate engaging in physical activity? Yes. Engage in food waste reduction practices? Yes. But let’s also celebrate National Nutrition Month by engaging in food security initiatives embedded within a food justice cocoon.

W E DDING registry tips 1188 MMAARRCCHH 22001199 W edding registries are invaluable resources that provide engaged couples' loved ones with gift suggestions. But building the registry can feel like walking a tightrope. Couples likely won't want to ask for too much or for gifts that are too expensive, but a poorly built registry can be a major inconvenience for guests. The following tips can help couples build adequate registries that benefit them without asking too much of their guests. • Register with more than one store. Doing so makes things as convenient as possible for guests and increases the chances they will be able to shop at stores they're familiar with. Unless your guest list is predominantly local, try to register with at least one national chain so guests who live in different regions can shop for gifts in-person if they prefer to do so. • Make a large list. Some couples are hesitant to make large wedding registries, feeling that doing so gives the impression they're asking for too much. But large registries actually give guests more options to choose from. Many industry insiders advise registering for two to three gifts per guest. That might seem like a lot, but guests will appreciate having all of those options. • Don't hesitate to include expensive items. Couples also may be hesitant to include especially expensive items on their registries. However, the couples' parents and other close relatives may be honored to purchase more expensive items. It's also important to note that many retailers, after couples' wedding days have come and gone, discount registry items that weren't purchased. So even if no one purchases the more expensive items, including them on a registry may significantly reduce their cost for couples who want to buy those items themselves after tying the knot. • Vary the prices of items on the list. In addition to including more expensive items, make sure to include moderately priced and inexpensive items. This gives guests more options and ensures guests who might be spending a lot to travel to and from the wedding can still purchase gifts without digging too much deeper into their pockets. • Periodically update the registries. Periodically remove items you have already received and add items if many of the less expensive ones have already been purchased. MARCH 2019 18

The pub- lic is welcome to attend the opening reception March 7 from 6-7:30 p.m. Mail art is a global art movement that became popular in the 1960s — a period of social activism. Mail art is considered art once it is delivered to the post office. Mail artists appreciate the challenge of a limited “canvas” size — standard postcards are 4-by-6 inches or 5-by-7. As well, mail artists appreciate the interconnection with other artists and having a platform that promotes an egalitarian way of creating that sidesteps entry fees, the art market and galleries. The work also does not have to be on paper; an artist might choose wood or metal as a substrate to send through the mail. Submissions for “STOP IT!” were re- quired to go through the postal system as a postcard and have an authentic postal stamp on their front or back upon arrival in Fayetteville. This art has passed through the hands of postal employees, locally or from around the world. On the FSU cam- pus, the postal employees will have viewed the whole show before it is ever delivered. 19 MARCH 2019
