FebruaryTo be the shortest month of the year, February is packed with events! Maybe planners knew we’d all need a lot of activity to get through the wintertime blahs… Many of you are thawing out from the huge snow and ice storm. We have closed the door on one cold January, that’s for sure!
February is Black History Month. Of particular note for 2010, Greensboro, North Carolina will hold a ribbon cutting for the International Civil Rights Center and Museum on February 1…50 years to the day that four A&T students dared to sit at the Woolworth’s diner counter to protest segregation. The event marked a milestone in history.
Groundhog Day is February 2. If you’ve never read the fascinating history of Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania, do yourself a favor and Google it! Wonder if he’ll see his shadow this year?
Super Bowl XLIV will be played on February 7 in Miami. Will you pull for the Colts (Indianapolis) or the Saints (New Orleans)?
The Winter Olympics take place in Vancouver starting February 12.
Valentine’s Day, as well as the Daytona 500 race, is February 14.
Presidents Day is Monday, February 15…a national holiday.
The Westminster Dog Show is scheduled for February 15 and 16 in New York City.
Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) is February 16 in New Orleans.
On the local scene, Ray and The Surf Team will be counting down the Top 40 live from Thee Furniture Warehouse in Shallotte on Saturday February 13.
We’ll be at Fat Harold’s Beach Club the next day…Valentine’s Day…for the Extravaganza. This is a fundraiser that benefits the Hall of Fame Foundation. The Foundation has helped many people in time of need. There’ll be lots of Carolina Beach Music artists there to entertain you. Listen for details on The Surf!
We’ll also broadcast 6 Clemson basketball games this month…check the EVENTS calendar for specifics.
We’ll have to wait until 2012 for Leap Year! Sadie Hawkins Day (a spoof deriving from
Li’l Abner comic strip) is often connected in pop-culture to February 29, the extra day in Leap Years. You know…it’s when the ladies ask the men for their hand in marriage. So all you bachelors are “safe” for 2 more years!
Keep your radio or Internet tuned to 94.9!
March will be here before you know it!

2010 Census to Begin THIS IS PRETTY BASIC ADVICE;
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim
of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under
way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the
country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every
person in the United States and will gather information about every person
living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant
data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census
worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a
handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their
questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your
home.
Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address
information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking
information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL
THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a
salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR
FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank
account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking
for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH
ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach
you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person
at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on
the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are
supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
