Fired by one but
supported by many
The day I was fired by
Sondra Cook, the clerk
appointed by one person
rather than elected by the
people of Lee County, was
devastating to me and my
family. However, the sup
port I have received from
the citizens of this coun
ty-many I have known
for years and the many
more I have met since that
day—has made me confi
dent in my decision to run
for Clerk of Superior Court.
I sincerely appreciate all the
support and encouragement
I have received.
As the days are closing
in on the election, I want
to express my thanks and
gratitude to all my support
ers who have given so much
to me in so many ways.
While Sondra Cook may
have fired me from my posi
tion in the Clerk’s office, I
am fortunate enough to be
serving Lee County in my
current position in the Tax
Assessors office. Though
I enjoy serving the Lee
County in my new position,
I hope to soon be serving all
of you in a greater capacity
in the coming year, as the
Clerk of Superior Court.
You can make that possible
by voting in the Republican
Primary on July 15th.
I have been blessed to
have met so many citizens
of this county through my
campaigning. Lee County,
however, is very large and
unfortunately, this has
made it impossible for me
to visit every voter. I only
have a few weeks left, but I
will continue to work hard
to meet as many of you as
I can before the election
on July 15th. If I haven’t
had to opportunity to meet
you personally, please feel
free to contact me
with any questions
or suggestions at
clarl604@gmail.com
or by phone: 436-6635
(home) 395-8823
(cell).
I have the experi
ence, determination,
and confidence to be
your next Clerk of
Superior Court, and
with your support, we
can make it happen on
July 15th.
Go to the polls for
early voting starting
July 7 th through July
11th or on July 15 th
and vote for Sara Reeves
CLARK for CLERK, and
put someone who truly
cares about the citizens of
Lee County back into the
Superior Court Clerks’
office.
I may have been fired by
one, but I have been sup
ported by many. I thank you
all for your support, and I
assure you I will live up to
your expectations. All I ask
now is for your help by go
ing to the polls and voicing
your opinion on July 15th.
Thank you,
Sara Reeves Clark

Apply Sunscreen Liberally to
Home: Enjoy Lasting Protection
Slather your Attic with SPF19 or Higher
Special to the Ledger
(ARA) - With warm
weather here, can your home
handle the sun’s blazing rays?
Insulation is like sunscreen
for your home, and you
need about 19 inches in the
attic to maximize protection
against the heat. A study by
the Harvard School of Public
Health found that an esti
mated 60 million American
homes have under-insulated
attics. If your home is miss
ing that insulation “SPF,” you
may want to consider adding
some. Taking this step is one
of the best ways to reduce
your home’s energy use for
cooling.
“A significant amount of
a home’s struggle to remain
cool is through under-insu
lated attics, but it’s simple
to determine if you have

enough, and it’s easy to add
more if you don’t,” says Gale
Tedhams, director of sustain
ability for Owens Corning.
“Go up to your attic. If you
can see the wood beams of
your attic floor, you don’t
have enough.”
This time of year, keeping
your home cool is important,
but doing so in a cost-ef
fective and environmen
tally friendly way is of equal
priority. Adding insulation to
keep the cool air inside re
duces the need to use energy
to cool your home. And who
wouldn’t appreciate a lower
energy bill? Also, when less
energy is used, less green
house gas-causing C02 is
generated.
“A properly insulated home
can save you up to 20 percent
on energy bills. A good place
to start is the attic because
that’s where a lot of cool air
can be lost,” says Tedhams.
“What’s more, a well-insu
lated home can emit up to
one half-ton less C02 every
year than its less-insulated
neighbors.”
To meet the Department
of Energy recommended
R-value of up to 60 for attics,
Owens Corning, the makers
of PINK insulation, advises
attics have about 19 inches of
fiberglass batt insulation or
22 inches of blown insula
tion. Homeowners can visit
www.InsulateYourAtticNow
.com to find out more about
how much they need, where
to get it, and the benefits.
“It’s one of the most cost-
effective things you can do
to stay cool and comfortable
during hot weather,” says
Tedhams.
Homeowners who want to
reduce their home’s energy
footprint should also con
sider other energy-efficient
upgrades such as:
Installing a Programmable
Thermostat
Why heat or cool the house
when nobody’s home? A pro
grammable thermostat can
automatically lower or raise
a home’s air temperature
during the day. By regulating
the temperature, homeowners
can save up to 10 percent on
annual heating and cooling
costs.
Plugging the Drafts
Sealing the envelope of
the home is the first line of
defense against drafts, so
it’s important to caulk and
weather-strip around all
seams, cracks and openings.
Pay special attention to win
dows and electrical outlets.
Unwanted air leakage alone
can raise energy bills by up
to 10 percent.
Having a Home Energy
Audit
Understanding how much
energy a home uses helps
homeowners determine what
changes will save them the
most energy and money. For
an easy home energy audit,
check out the Home Report
Card. The quiz provides
tailored recommendations
for improving home energy
efficiency and can be found
