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.”

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.

eases. 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.
