PAGE4-SMOKESIGNALS, FEBRUARY, 1989 Graduates Successful In Business By BONNIE LAWRENCE Staff Writer The Randolph Ledger You might call Tony Johnson and Tim Nelson boy wonders of the business world. Actually, at the rip>e old ages of just-tumed-22, they’re not boys any more. But the two were just 19 when they went into business, acquiring the PIP Printing franchise in Asheboro. During the summer, Johnson and Nelson became award-winning businessmen. At the PIP national convention in Nashville over the Fourth of July, they received an award for the highest percentage of growth of all PIP franchises in the Southeast region, which stretches from North Carolina south to Florida and west to Texas. To that award they added another for four-color process in the category of all franchises 2 years old and under. Their award-winning entry was a business card for the Comfort Zone. “We were real excited,” said Johnson, who says he and Nelson bought the PIP franchise at a good price from the previous owners because, Johnson says, “the store was doing poorly.” The two assumed all the company’s loans and set out to succeed in business. The pair came to the business from different routes. Nelson receiv ed an A.A. degree in Printing Technology from Chowan College in Mufreesboro. Johnson who also at tended Chowan, had worked for three years at a PIP franchise in Burlington, the hometown of both. At the time he left, Johnson had been production manager for a year. The partners bought the shop three weeks before Nelson graduated from college. For six months or so they com muted to Asheboro from Burlington. “We’d sleep in the back on the floor.” says Johnson. “When we could not stand it, we'd go home and take a shower, spend the night and come back.” When they couldn’t take traveling between home and of fice any more, they rented a place in Randleman for a year. Last December the two eliminated the drive altogether by buying a house in Asheboro. Johnson and Nelson have made a lot of changes in the printing shop since they took over. They have add ed a second copier, laminating equipment, a bookbinding machine, and electric collators. “We have some of the most sophisticated equipment around,” says Johnson. The company has also added a two-color press and a fax service. “We’re going to try to offer 24-hour turnaround time,” Johnson says. The franchise’s territory covers all of Randolph County. The young owners think of their business as filling a need between quick printers and commercial printers. “We can handle almost any business.” Johnson says “Word of mouth helps us out a lot. We hope that any time someone needs something quick, PIP comes to mind.” Classified Ads HELP WANTED CRUISE SHIPS—Now Hiring Men and Women. Summer and Career Opportunities (Will Train).

Credit : Robert Godfrey Outward Bound: More Than Just A Trip Whitewater rafting, mountain climbing, rappeling, rock climb ing—how would you like to ex perience any or all of these adven tures and learn something about yourself at the same time? You can, with an Outward Bound course. Perhaps you have heard of Outward Bound—you, or people you know may even have experienced one of our courses. Over 19,000 men and women participated in the more than 500 courses we offered last year alone. Because Outward Bound’s five schools are located in geographically diverse locations, the courses at each school reflect the personality and character unique to that area. We have schools in Colorado, in Maine, in North Carolina and in Oregon and Minnesota. “Our courses this year will use the vast majestic wilderness and urban areas of twenty-two states,” notes John F. Raynolds, President of Out ward Bound. Traveling miles across mountains, lakes or ocean may mean aching muscles, cold feet and wet bodies, but it also brings mutual respect, shared jokes, beautiful sunrises and the pride of shared achievement. Facts About Aids, Giving Blood AIDS is a disease that breaks down the body’s system for fighting infection and disease. AIDS can be spread through donated blood and plasma. Blood tests to detect an tibody to the AIDS virus (HIV) are very good, but they are not perfect. It is possible for a person in the early stage of infection to have a negative test result. Therefore, people who are at risk for getting AIDS must never give blood or plasma. You are at risk for getting AIDS and spreading the AIDS virus if: 1. You are a man who has had sex with another man since 1977, even one time. 2. You have ever taken illegal drugs by needle. 3. You are a native of Haiti, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tan zania, Uganda, or Zaire who entered the United States after 1977. 4. You have AIDS or one of its signs or symptoms. 5. You have ever had a positive test for HIV antibody, showing past exposure to the AIDS virus. 6. You have hemophilia and have received clotting factor concen trates. 7. You are or have been the sex partner of any person described above since 1977. 8. You are a woman or man who is now or has been a prostitute since 1977. 9. You have been the heterosex ual sex partner of a male or female prostitute within the last six months. Poets can now enter a new poetry contest with $11,000.00 in prizes. The Grand Prize is $1,000.00 and the First Prize $500.00. In all, 152 poets will win awards and national publication. The contest, sponsored by the American Poetry Association, is open to the public and entry is free. “Students are often winners in our contests, and we would like to see more student's poetry” said Robert Nelson, Publisher for the Associa tion. “We want to find undiscovered poets and give them the recognition they deserve. This year our winners will be published and publicized to the utmost of our power.” Poets may enter the contest by sending up to six poems, each no more that 20 lines, name and ad dress on each page, to American Poetry Association, Dept. CT-22, 250 A Potrero Street, P.O. Box 1803, Santa Cruz, CA 95061-1803. The contest remains open until June 30, to allow students ample time to enter during spring or summer break. Poets who enter early will be invited to another contest with another $1,000.00 Grand Prize. Each poem is also considered for publication in the American Poetry Anthology, a leading collection of contemporary verse. During six years of sponsorship the American Poetry Association has run 28 contests and awarded over $112,000 in prizes to 2,850 winning poets. Students Vote Along with pride will come a sense of self-confidence and inner satisfac tion that will last a lifetime. “...students are almost certain to discover new things about themselves,” explains Mr. Raynolds. “They expect more of themselves, become confident...learn to share, to lead and to follow, and to work together as a group. In safeguarding each other, they form bonds of mutual trust. They discover that many problems can be solved only with the cooperation of all members of a group.” For more imformation, please write to Outward Bound USA, Box CN, 384 Field Point Road, Green wich, CT 06830, or call toll-free 800-243-8520.

Love Keeps Slipping Away The time keeps slipping away As I sit here watching the phone It hurts knowing you’re with someone And I’m sitting here all alone I hope you always have fun And I hope you never cry But the way you’ve been treating me It’s time for me to fly When you tell me a lie It tears my heart to shreds Every minute I think about it Is another minute I want to be dead I can’t stand the thought of losing you It gives me such a chill Every car that passes by Is another tear on my windowsill You act like you don’t want me anymore You very rarely come by We never ever go out anymore Why don’t you give it a try . I wish you could see how lonely I am I wish you could see how blue I wish you’d respect what I want sometimes I wish we could start anew.
