A6 -Thomasville Times - Saturday, January 23, 2010 FROM PAGE A1 RATE From page A1 due to the holidays and seasonal hirings, but Parker said the problem is statewide. Leisure and hospitality — a state strength — suffered the largest loss of jobs with a decrease of 2,600. “North Carolina is a great state for leisure and hospitality all over the state,” Parker said. “From the mountains to the beach, there’s a lot of great things going on year round. This is not just the beach, this is statewide. There are a lot of areas that just aren’t getting the traffic they’re typically used to.” Maniafacturing and construction continue their downward spiral as another 2,100 jobs were lost between the two last months. Since the start of the recession in De cember, 2007, manufac turing jobs are down by 95,500 people, and the to tal job loss in the state is nearing 250,000 workers. In the past year. North Carolina has paid out more than $4.8 billion in unemployment benefits. “You wonder how much more can be lost when you look at certain sectors,” said Parker. “There’s no doubt manufacturing has clearly been the hardest hit one out of all of this.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com. HELP From page A1 ally. I’ll get a report, but everything is happening so fast.” Volunteer requests also have risen since the disaster, but Ziegler wants ev eryone to know the chances of someone actually going to Haiti as part of the Red Cross’ relief effort is slim to none. Ziegler encourages anyone who wants to be a volunteer to join their local chap ter and start learning how to assist in the event of a disaster closer to home. “We’ve had a lot of inquiries from the public as to how they can help,” said Ziegler. “At the same time, we’re also saying if you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, you’re not going to be able to go to Haiti. You can get involved in our local disaster plan and maybe, some day, you can join that International Di saster Relief Team. You have to start locally, getting trained and experienced and involved. There are thousands of Red Cross volunteers across the coun try, but only a few hundred are on. this relief team.” Emergency Response Units (ERUs) al ready have provided family kits, includ ing tarpaulins, blankets, kitchen sets and hygiene kits to 2,700 Haitians with another 25,000 people expected to re ceive relief supplies soon. More than 20 Red Cross flights have landed in Haiti, bringing in an estimated 100 tons of re lief supplies. Two Red Cross Water and Sanitation ERUs are working to reach some 200,000 people left without clean water. Donations can be made at the local Red Cross office at 815 Phillips Ave. in High Point or the Lexington-Davidson chapter at 16 E. Center St. in Lexington.

Healing Seekers is Amy’s passion, and the time needed for its cause made running a business too much for one person to handle. “I think everyone was pretty much in shock,” said Amy. “We’ve had people coming to us for years and years. You form relationships with your customers, and we valued that trust. I think It was hard for them to understand.” Once the decision was made, the fate of Thom- asviUe Pharmacy had to be decided. It didn’t take long for the Greeson’s to get an offer, as Rite Aid bought the family out. Thomasville Pharmacy officially closed on Tues day and Amy, along with the other employees, moved across Randolph Street into new positions at Rite Aid. Amy plans on working as a registered pharmacist at the new location while pursuing her dreams with Healing Seekers during her free time. “The fact we were able to take everyone along was important to us,” Amy said. “Nobody was left without a job. We still get to see a lot of bur for mer customers, which makes it a little easier.” Rite Aid is welcoming all former Thomasville Pharmacy customers.. Replacing prescriptions wUl be easy. Replacing relationships will be the hard part. Stajf Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.
