BLUE RIDGE MORNING POEM by former Eden resident: Virginia Dare Wiles
As the hot summer days begin to fade, With the beginning of chilly fall mornings I take time for a second cup of coffee And watch the sun as it glistens on the golden leaves. The sky is so blue and so clear, it takes your breath away And makes you feel so close to God. A ride in the country, where pumpkins and homemade molasses are for sale At the ole Country Inn Oh, this is the season I’ll always cherish A time to reminisce of the days gone by.

FAMILY BLESSED BY GOD AND COMMUNITY The Shropshires of Eden, Mike, Robin and Jordan ,16, are thankful for all that they have learned and come to understand during one of the most harrowing times in their lives. Mike and Robin, both of Eden, married while still in college. Mike worked as a Fitness Director at the Eden YMCA. Robin has been a substitute teacher for years in the Eden schools and now is a facilitator for the CRC classes are RCC. She wants the staff of RCC to know that their consideration was greatly appreciated during her needs to be out of work. Three years ago Mike, now 51, was diagnosed with liver failure due to contracting Heptetitis C in the 1970’s. The doctors nor Mike even suspected the Hepetitis C until a simple blood test was performed for a routine checkup. Then the problems began.
After the news sunk in, they began to look for help. In the past year, through prayer, the community was brought together to help with fundraisers and donations. The Run for Mike was organized by Dr. John Dabbs and Janice Hagood, and held in April 2009, raising over $3,000. The children in the
schools in Eden were a Godsend when Draper Elementary and Holmes Middle raised over $800 each and Morehead High brought in some $2000. “ “These kids should really be recognized for all the did in helping us,” Robin remarks, “So often we hear of

“What‘s new?” A common question ,which seems to be getting harder to answer. Let’s try and see what we can do. Do you know the name of five different trees and four different birds ( not just by their colors, by the songs they sing) in or near your yard and can you identify three historic buildings within a ten mile radius of your home or in the nearest town? Come on, you have lived there x amount of years, how tough can it be? I suggest that new treasures are all around if you just look. What a novel idea to actually be knowledgeable about your surroundings! That might be new. I know how easy it is to ride the same route, seeing, yet not seeing, what is all around. We are just too busy, too tired, too inundated with bills and stress and climbing the ladder to success or the one that takes us on the roof to repair that shingle. We are missing out on what is right at hand. I suggest that what’s new may be where you live! It may be “new” because it has gone unnoticed.
I went to the Eden RiverFest (put it on your “must do “ list for next year) While there I was privileged to go into The Eden Historical Museum. Have you been? Oh friend, you must get over there! This area has a rich heritage. Looking for a fun activity? Pick up an Eden’s Heritage national register of historic places , pack a lunch and find each of the places. Something old may be something new to you. Check out what is going on at the surrounding schools and churches to answer what’s new. On October 24th Leaksville - Spray is having their Fall Festival for instance, with games, food, and family fun. There is always a great class, screening or event at Morehead Hospital that may be new to you. All I am saying is, revisit where you live and what is available around you in the way of resources, you may find out what is new and that maybe just the spark needed .

They raised money not to earn a prize but to save somebody’s life and they knew that. MIke says, “It was go good to see how much this meant to each one of them from kindergarten through 12th grade. To have them walk up to us and say “is Mr. S o.k now? Was he able to have his surgery.” Emmanuel Friends Church held yard sales, dinners, and asked for donations, raising almost $10,000 and starting an Mike Shropshire Trust Fund to help pay the expenses. Any donations to the fund can still be sent to Immanuel Friends Church, c/o Mike Shropshire, 502 S. Fieldcrest Rd., Eden, NC 27288. Others who selflessly gave for the cause include, but are not limited to, Eden Chiropractic, Jessi Hagood, Body Fit, Eden Drug, Jimmy Odell Electric, Gene & Janice Hagood, The Women’s League, Mel’s Gang, Wal-mart and Larayan Springs Water, Front Line Marketing, River House Gift & Gourmet, Ray & Norma Kelly, Jime and Wanda Hamrick, and Jim and Linda Barko. As his health deteriorated, “There were times when I didn’t know where I was nor who anyone was, including my wife and son,” Mike said. “The liver can mess with the entire body, poisoning everything, including the mind.” In 2006 Mike began the preliminary process of getting on the transplant list at Chapel Hill Hospital. Not pleased with the way things were handled at this location, he moved to Duke University Hospital for the remainder of the tests and program requirements. His insurance at this time was a Cobra policy under United Health Care. After spending eight months going through their program and test in order to receive a liver transplant the Shropshire’s were told that Duke Hosptial and United Health Care were having some issues regarding transplants and that Duck was not going to accept United Health Care at this time. They told Mike and Robin to find another hospital that woudl accept United Health Care, and do it fast. They soon transferred everything to the University of Virginia in Charlotsville, and hoped that all the preliminary work, which can take up to a year, would not have to begin all over again. “There are medical tests of course, but there are psychological tests and more to go through,” Mike noted. Except for the blood work, it was all accepted and the search began for a liver again. Then near tragedy struck once again, Mike lapsed into a coma, and was flown via Helicopter from Eden to Charlottsville, an $18,000 bill was to follow that flight, with only a fraction coverd by insurance. After a short while at the Charlottsville hospital, Mike out of the coma and recouping, the doctor called Robin to the side. By this time there were only a couple weeks left on the Cobra insurance, and as a precaution the couple had already taken out Inclusive insurance, paid the first month’s premium (some twice the cost of Cobra), and hoped that all would continue.

2010. Players will also have a weekly one-hour practice. All games and practices will be held at the Osborne Baptist Church gym, 326 East Stadium Drive, Eden, NC . Why choose Upward? Currently, more than 500,000 children participate in Upward sports leagues. For over 14 years, Upward has been conducting exciting children's sport leagues and camps in the US and around the world. Upward was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some 1 million people around the world play, coach, referee, or volunteer in Upward sport leagues and camps hosted by more than 2,600 churches. Anyone - children of any faith or no faith - can participate in Upward sports. Upward aims to bring out "the winner" in every child - regardless of the game's score. Each player/cheerleader must attend an evaluation. During the short evaluation, 6 skills are evaluated. This is not a test nor is it a "try-out". Each child's ability is accessed so that balanced teams can be formed in each division. For a detailed list of evaluation days/times by grade, please go to www.osbornebaptist.com or call 336.623.6064.
Preregistration fee for basketball is $60.00 and Cheerleading is $50.00. This fee includes uniform and other help-
ful supplies. It also includes an end-of-year award that each child will receive. There will be a $5.00 fee added to those who register after November 18th. No one can register after December 18, 2009. Registration forms may be picked up at the Osborne Baptist Church Office. If you would like to request one be mailed to you, please call 6236064. For more information, call Kevin Garrison at 336.623.6064 or email kgarrison@osbornebaptist.com. Everyone in the surrounding community is invited to participate.

DISASTER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT RED CROSS WE NEED YOU! Are you interested in helping out people in need? I’m hoping you are. After a year of house fires, Dennis Caillouet and his Disaster Action Team (DAT) are hoping for some help for the helpers. As a required activity for every Red Cross chapter across the U.S., disaster support at all the local level is like a cornerstone for a house. Most of the attention needed in Rockingham County, especially in a tough economy, is supplying immediate aid for families who suddenly find themselves without a home, clothing, and food. The American Red Cross in our community bridges this gap through the actions of a small, and highly trained, group of individuals who remain on call - 24/7, to step in, and step up, by assisting, investigating, and documenting the status of anyone displaced by a disaster, regardless of how large it may be. This ranges from single individuals affected by a house fire, to the overwhelming national impact of hurricanes such as Katrina. Thus, local people assist regional Red Cross, which assists national efforts as needed. It starts here, at the local level. The Rockingham County chapter of the American Red Cross needs some volunteers to assure we have enough coverage to avoid burn - out. Last year, the local DAT assisted over 90 family members, when 37 homes burned. New members who are not yet certified will be trained in first aid and CPR, as well as Red Cross procedures to follow so victims are treated quickly and efficiently to bridge the gap until they can find lodging and long term solutions to a disaster. How can you do this/. By

HANGING ROCK TO MORATOCK PARK Dan River Fall Float with the Dan River Basin Association November 7 Trip By T Butler
Join the Dan River Basin Association's November 7 First Saturday Outing on a popular section of the Dan River from Hanging Rock State Park to Moratock Park in Danbury, NC. Charlie Williams, chair of the Assoc.'s Outings Committee, will coordinate the scenic fivemile float. Participants are asked to meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Hanging Rock State Park canoe access off Flinchum Road (GPS coordinates: 36.4299, -80.2482) to unload boats and gear and set the shuttle. Boat rentals and shuttle will be provided by the nearby Dan River Company, 336-593-2628 or www.danrivercompany.com. According to Williams, "At normal levels this section offers mostly calm waters with one easy class II rapid at Moratock Park," just before the take-out. "There is often wildlife to view if you approach quietly," he adds. "The easy put-in and take-out make this an excellent family trip." Shortly after the put-in, boaters will pass under the NC 89 Highway Bridge. About three miles into the trip is Seven Island Bridge. Except for these two landmarks, most of the trip reveals little evidence of human disturbance, with nearly half of the river corridor passing through State Natural Heritage Areas. At this time of year, autumn colors are often visible along the banks, and late fall wildflowers may be in bloom. Interesting facts about this river section's history, culture, and nearby attractions are found in Maps 68 -- 70 of the Association's new publication, "An Insider's Guide to the Dan River in North Carolina and Virginia," which is available at www.danriver.org . Participants in the outing are asked to provide boat and paddles, life jacket, lunch and water, to dress in layers of artificial (quick-drying) fabric or wool, and to sign a waiver.

ship, and service in college and beyond In his opening remarks, President of RCC, Dr. Robert Keys, said, “Students, congratulations on your outstanding accomplishment. We are proud of all of our students and especially proud of those who excel in their academic pursuits.” This year, PTK members will be working with the theme, “The Paradox of Affluence: Choices, Challenges, and Consequences.” It is a theme keynote speaker Jason Turner, a history teacher at Rockingham County High School and adjunct instructor at RCC, used in his remarks. “Affluence,” Turner said, “has led us to sedentary lives, luxuries are sometimes mistaken for necessities, and families have spread out in pursuit of wealth. Is richer better?” he asked. “Yes, in many ways it is. But we can become victims of wealth. Therefore, inductees, do not bash affluence, but take what you have and the gifts you have been given and make good use of it by doing good works.” Phi Theta Kappa members are given opportunities for continued success, leadership development, and the chance to be accepted into top universities. They are also eligible to receive
scholarships available to honor students. The names of the inductees are listed below by city of residence: Eden – Katelyn Compton, Kenneth Gantt, Misty Hoback, Robert Hurd, Angela Kirkman, Sy-Chuong Le, Jennifer O’Connor, Tracey Pruitt, Melody Shockley, Corrie Tetterton, Andrea Wade, Darnell Wilson.

WENTWORTH -Amid scenes representing Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England, the Rockingham Community College Foundation treated guests to “A Great Evening in Great Britain,” for its twelfth annual gala “Evening of Recognition.” The fundraising event was held Oct. 1 at Pennrose Country Club in Reidsville. Each year individuals, organizations, groups or corporate entities that have made outstanding contributions to the college or foundation are selected to be recognized at the gala. This year, Jeanne T. Stanley of Reidsville and Subway of Rockingham County were honored. In presenting Stanley with the Friend of RCC award, Dr. Robert Keys, president of RCC, said "After only two years of service on the Foundation board, Jeanne was asked to chair a division. Later she served as president of the board and led the Reidsville Annual Giving Campaign. Jeanne,” Keys ended, “is a lady who has given much to many and tonight is our opportunity to say thank you for her many forms of generosity.” Andy Strand, a business principal with Subway of Rockingham County, received the Corporate Benefactor award on behalf of the business. Keys said, “We cannot put a dollar value on the impact Subway has had on the college. From providing meals for various college functions to incentive coupons for Foundation campaigns and events, Subway has been there to help, even in these tough times when so many other businesses are cutting back on their charitable involvements. Thank you for being the kind of good corporate citizen that every community wants.” Other recognitions of the evening included event sponsors: Talon Club Members (those who give a $1,500-a-year comprehensive sponsorship which includes Gold Sponsorship of the gala) – Carolina Apothecary, Kevin and Kelley Carroll, Jerry and Judy Coleman, Duke Energy Corporation, First Citizens Bank,

Meet on October 3, 2009 at Bassett High School. The following high schools competed in the competition: Bassett, Tunstall, Magna Vista, Halifax County, Harrisonburg, Patrick County, Chatham and Morehead. Morehead was the only school representing the state of North Carolina as the other 7 schools were from the state of Virginia. The top three teams respectfully were: Morehead 13 points, Tunstall 12 points and Harrisonburg 9 points. Morehead won the competition as the JV placed in all six JV Drill Events. The Varsity placed in three of six Drill Events. Together they won a combined total of 10 trophies including the 1st place overall trophy. Morehead was also the only school to fill all JV &Varsity teams.
COMPETITION
Winning the Bassett Drill Meet was a first for the schools program as it continues to grow in cadet participation. Both JROTC Instructors, First Sergeant David Bray and First Sergeant Zack Reynolds, were in agreement that when the Drill Team and Color Guard started back up four years ago, (after several years of not competing) we only had about 18-20 cadets that wanted to participate. This past competition we took 38 cadets to Basset and every cadet participated in an event. Difference being, between now and then, our cadet leadership is stepping up to the challenge. They are willing to teach and mentor our younger cadets so that it is fun and challenging for them.

DRIVE 4 SHELTER UPDATE By Debrah Sterling
I am so proud and pleased to say, as of Oct. 9, 2009, our SmithStokes Drive 4 Shelter campaign has collected over $21,000, specifically for the spay and neuter surgical room for the new shelter to be constructed for Rockingham County. We have participated in numerous events, (over 45), throughout Rockingham, as well as into Virginia, Guildford and surrounding areas. The plight of how unwanted, abused, and neglected domestic animals are housed and handled at our current holding facility in Reidsville, due to lack of space and resources, has brought a very sympathetic and kind response from so many folks we have encountered on our mobile campaign. We began with a modest $855 deposit back at the beginning of May and now are standing strong at over $21,000. This is a true testament to our dedication to make a change in our community. Staff members of Smith-Stokes have really stepped up in selling tickets to win our Chevy Colorado; complimented by t-shirts sales and bumper stickers to support the cause. Right in tune with me as campaign manager and avid animal advocate, we have also received support from other businesses and community leaders and I am so proud to have worked with each and every one of them. I would now like to invite everyone to attend our Drive 4 Shelter Campaign festival, scheduled for October 17, from 11:00am5:00pm. There will be live music, (Greater Grace, The Church Sisters, Matt Boswell & The Hillbilly Blues Band), games, rides; a Prancing Pup community dog show; a magic show performed by Captain Jim; a car display at Food Lion, and a chance for folks to help fill the bed of the truck to aid the needy animals of Rockingham County. There will be something for everyone on October 17th! Admission is only $2.00 and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the spay and neuter project. The winner of the Chevy Colorado will be drawn and called at 1:30pm by Sheriff Sam Paige and announced live on WAKG 103.3 FM. To target donations specificaly towards spay and neuter for the shelter, visit www.apsrc.org/home or wwwsmithstokes.com.
CHURCH CELEBRATES 150 YEARS On Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday Nov. 8, Wentworth Presbyterian Church on NC Hwy 65 near the county courthouse will celebrate its 150th anniversary. The celebration on Saturday begins with a short service in the sanctuary at 2:00 p.m., followed by tours of the church and grounds with refreshments being served in the fellowship hut. Culmination of the celebration will end with a 10:00 a.m. Worship & Praise service on Sunday, Nov. 8. Alfred Scales, a local attorney and a North Carolina Governor, was one of the church founders. Wentworth Presbyterian Church was organized and built in 1859. The church’s original structure, complete with a slave balcony still stands and has weekly Sunday school and Worship services. In the early years, Wentworth was one of four churches being served by a pastor in a four-point charge: The pastor rotated morning and evening services between Wentworth, Greenwood, Speedwell, and Smyrna Presbyterian Churches, allowing each church to hold two services per month. In the late 1940’s the four church field was divided and Wentworth stood aligned with Smyrna until 1999 when Smyrna hired a full-time minister. The church is unique in design because worshippers entering through the front doors find themselves facing the congregation. A six-foot set of pipe chimes, built by former pastor Robert Turner, still stands beside the organ. The only known additions, beside heating, air, electricity and plumbing, are a basement, the manse and the building of the hut. The hut is adjacent to the church and is used for fellowship gatherings. Exterior siding was added to the church and steeple in the 1960s. It is hard to know the early history of Wentworth Presbyterian Church. Its records burned sometime in the 1950s in a house fire of one of its members. We do know that Homecoming was originally in May each year, leading many to believe that perhaps May was the first month the church was open. Current pastor, Marty Brim invites the public to attend the celebration services.

“GANG OF THIEVES” SUSPECTS ARRESTED WENTWORTH - Detectives Ben Strader and Juan Tejeda reported the arrest of seven people with over seventy felonycharges. These charges are connected to the breaking into and or larceny from seventeenhouses. The victims are mostly in RockinghamCounty, but other locations include Caswelland Guilford Counties. About three months ago, the detectives obtained information that led them to a group of people that were breaking into houses and primarily stealing televisions, weed eaters, lawn mowing equipment, and four wheelers. Many of the reported items were recovered and further investigation will determine potential charges against persons buying these and additional stolen items from these persons. This investigation led to charges in Caswell County for four cases and another in Guilford County. This investigation continues with appropriate charges pending.

Financial Focus Edward Jones What Should You Do with 401(k) after a Layoff? As you’re no doubt aware, the long and deep recession has resulted in the highest unemployment rate in decades. But if you’ve been laid off, or if you fear a layoff may soon be coming, you’re less interested in statistics than in your immediate financial future. How will you get by until you land a new job? This is a scary question, of course. And it can cause you to look at all your available financial resources — including your 401(k), which may well be the largest single financial resource you have. But before you cash out your 401(k), make sure you understand what’s involved. Your former employer is required to withhold 20% of your account balance to prepay federal taxes. Also, all your 401(k) proceeds will be taxed as ordinary income. And if you’re under age 5912 when you liquidate your 401(k), you may also be subject to a 10 percent penalty. And worst of all, the money may not be available to you when you retire. Obviously, if you have no other financial resources, you may have no choice but to tap into your 401(k) plan.
accepted life as a White person who lived in the Jim Crow South. He saw racial abuse throughout his community and America without seeing; therefore, Ed, like many other White people similar to him, did not feel any compunction that would require him to do anything. Ed began a metamorphosis in his thinking; then, he made a conscious effort to make sure that his children learned the life lessons he only came to grasp because of his job. Through the lessons he learned from the 'old folks,' the 'church ladies, 'and other residents of Price Road Ed discovered: the world of racial understanding opens through the door of communication; we need to talk about IT . . . Let's talk about it!
However, if you can find an alternative way to tide yourself over until you’re working again, you may be better off in the long run by not cashing in your plan. If you decide against the “cash-out” option, what can you do with your 401(k)? Here are two possibilities: * Keep the money in your former employer’s plan. If your former employer permits it, you may able to leave your money in your 401(k). You won’t have to pay any immediate taxes, and your money can continue to grow tax deferred. But you may no longer be able to add funds to your account. * Roll your money over to an IRA. If you roll over your 401(k) assets to an IRA, you’ll avoid paying immediate taxes, and your money can continue to grow tax deferred. Furthermore, you can fund your IRA with many types of investments, as opposed to a 401(k), which may offer only a handful of choices. And when you can afford it, you can make additional contributions to your IRA. Also, when you retire, you may find that an IRA gives you more flexibility in making withdrawals than a 401(k).
■ Provided by Michael Aviña with Edward Jones Investments, 621 Monroe St., Eden. And Kathy W. Hale, Edward Jones Investments, 302 N. Pierce Street, Eden.
While there are some clear benefits to keeping your 401(k) with your former employer or moving it to an IRA, neither choice helps you answer the question of how you’ll make it, financially speaking, until you’re working again. If you’ve built up a cash cushion in the preceding years, you can turn to it now, of course. And if you’ve created an investment portfolio outside your 401(k), take a close look at it. You can consider adjusting your investment mix to add more income-producing investments, if appropriate. Keep in mind that your portfolio should reflect your risk tolerance, long-term goals and time horizon. A layoff is never easy — and it can force you to make some tough choices. But if you can help protect your 401(k) today, you’ll be helping yourself tomorrow.

On Sept. 29, faculty, staff and administrators of Rockingham Community College joined (l-r) Justus Harris, Dr. Elizabeth Hamilton and Dr. Robert Harris, children of former RCC Trustee Robert “Bob” Harris. They, along with their spouses Leonne Harris and Jane Harris, gathered for the formal dedication of the Robert A. Harris Memorial Rose Garden. Harris was known for his honesty, integrity, and hard work. His service and dedication to RCC and the community were also well known. Harris’ son, Bobby, said a rose garden in an educational setting was a fitting tribute to his father, a man who enjoyed vegetable and rose gardening and believed in education. The RCC garden will showcase Radrazz Knock Out roses, a hardy plant that blooms from early May to the first hard frost in fall.

HOSPICE CARE IN NURSING HOME BENEFITS RESIDENTS AT END OF LIFE Researchers at the Harvard Medical School, Department of Health Policy have published a review article of hospice care in the nursing home and found a number of benefits indicating that greater availability of hospice holds promise in the nursing home setting. Key findings reported in an article published in the September 2009 issue of the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management found: • Hospice in nursing homes can provide high quality end-of-life care and offers benefits such as reduced hospitalizations and improved pain management. • The provision of hospice care in nursing homes has been shown to have positive effects on non-hospice residents, suggesting indirect benefits on nursing home clinical practices. • Hospice is relatively underutilized among nursing home residents at the end of life. While most hospice care in the U.S. is provided in the home, the use of hospice in nursing homes has risen in recent years; growth that has coincided with increased utilization of hospice care more generally. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization reports that more than 1.4 million Americans receive care from the nation’s hospice providers annually with 22.8 percent residing in a nursing home. Yet, only six percent of nursing home residents in the U.S. currently elect the hos-
pice benefit, even though nearly one-in-four deaths in the U.S. occur in a nursing home. “More and more hospices are successfully caring for people residing in nursing homes. This growth reflects the increased provision of quality care for dying persons who are not in the traditional ‘home’ setting. For many people, the nursing home is their home and they deserve the compassionate, quality care that hospice and palliative care providers are trained to deliver,” said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO president and CEO. “This literature review points out many positive benefits of hospice in the nursing home and it reminds us all of the importance of caring for this population.” Authors of the study found that nursing home hospice patients received the same highquality care as those hospice patients living in their own homes. Compared to similar residents not enrolled in hospice, previous studies reviewed by the researchers found nursing home hospice patients were more likely to be assessed for pain, twice as likely to receive daily treatment for pain, and more likely to receive pain management in accordance with clinical guidelines. They were also less likely to require hospitalization in the final 30 days of life. The importance of communication and coordination between the hospice provider and

the nursing home staff as well as the need for more education on end-of-life care among professionals was another point clearly shown in the literature reviewed. “Hospice providers recognize the need for ongoing outreach and awareness building, both among nursing home professionals as well as members of the public who may need end-oflife care,” Schumacher remarked. “For example, the misconception that hospice might hasten a patient’s death is something we in our field must continually clarify. In fact, some studies have shown that hospice patients live, on average, longer than similar patients who do not opt for hospice care.” The article was written by David G. Stevenson, PhD, and Jeffrey S. Bramson, BA, of the Harvard Medical School, Department of Health Policy. Support for this research was provided by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. The views presented in this study are those of the authors and should not be attributed to NHPCO or its staff.

For The Fun Of It AIRLINE ANNOUNCMENT A friend of mine heard this on a pre-flight announcement from an American Airlines pilot: "On our flight today, we will be flying at 34,000 feet. To give you an idea of how high that is, we would be able to fly over 50 Empire state buildings stacked one on top the other. "Our speed will be about 500 miles per hour. That is just over the muzzle velocity of the standard military .45 pistol." "We will be pushed along by two Pratt and Whitney JT-8D200 turbofan engines. While thrust to horsepower varies with altitude, the total 40,000 pounds of thrust is greater than the combined power of 10 D-9 diesel locomotives." "In other words, we're faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and as always, your Dallas based crew stands for truth, justice, and the AMERICAN way of life!"
SCHOOL TEACHER A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. He had no trouble with discipline that term.
SEAL Some people are extremely impressed when you tell them you're a Navy SEAL. Case in point: My grandson's pre-K class on Career Day. I regaled them with stories of my exploits in the military. After I finished, hands shot up into the air all over the classroom. The kids were eager to ask questions. "So," asked one little girl, "can you balance a ball on the end of your nose?"
YOU GOT MAIL A man was in his front yard mowing grass when an attractive blonde neighbor came out of her house and went straight to her mailbox. She opened it, then slammed it shut, and stormed back in her house. A little later, she came out of her house again, went to the mailbox, opened it and slammed it shut again. Angered, she again stormed back in her house. As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, she came out yet again. She marched to the mailbox, opened it, and then slammed it shut harder than ever. Puzzled by her actions, the man asked, "Is something wrong?" "There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps giving me a message saying "You've Got Mail."
BASEBALL 4 baseball fans want to show their teams that they're each the biggest fans in the world, so they decide to climb the biggest mountain they can find. The first one to the top is a Braves fan, and he says, "I'm the biggest fan in the world! This is for you Braves!" and he jumps off. The second one to the top is a Mets fan and he says, "I love you more than anything Mets, this is for you!" and he jumps off. The last 2 people who get to the top get there at the same time. One is a Red Sox fan and one is a Yankee fan. When they're both standing at the top together, the Red Sox fan says, "This one is for all baseball fans everywhere!" And the Red Sox fan pushes the Yankee fan off.
FBI INTEROGATION The LAPD, the FBI, & the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling, "Okay, okay, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit!"
WHO’S BEEN GOOD? The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present. "Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?" Five small voices answered in unison. "You do, Daddy!"
GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS One day a man came home from work and he was greeted by his wife. She told that she has good news and that she had bad news.He said "Well, give me the good news first." She said "The good news is that the air bag works."

MOREHEAD MILL WALL NEEDS PRESERING One of the oldest manufacturing sites in North Carolina. John Motely Morehead founded the Leaksville Cotton Mill, adjacent to Spary Canal, in the late 1830’s with the assistance of his first superintendent, John Hall Bullard of Massachusetts. The orginal mill was three-stories, with a full basement and was known as the “Old Stone Factory” for it’s solid rubblestone construction. This was the centerpiece of an eventual industrail complex as other smaller structures were built on the property for manufactoring purposes. According to historian Lindley S. Butler, an 1857 article on the mill described it as using 350,000 pounds of cotton woven into 270,000 yeards of cloth. During the Civil War, the mill manufactured cotton and woolen cloth for the Confederacy.
In 1893, just one year after two mills merged as the Leaksville Cotton and Woolen Mill Company under the direction of B. Frank Mebane and W. R. Walker, Jr., the “Old Stone Factory” was destroyed, along with surrounding buildings, due to a lightning strike. MEBANE immediately rebuilt the cotton mill with a new three-story brick structure very similar to the mill that incorporated the orginal stone foundation and basement. The property changed hands numerous times through the years and this historic structure fell into state of disrepair. After attempts by local preservations to save the property, the entire complex was demolished in 1992 with the exception of the orginal stone foundation, which is all that remains today. The Eden Preservation Society purchased

LEARN ABOUT COMMUNITY GARDENS Learn about how your church, school, or other community organization can participate in and benefit from a Community Garden. You are invited to a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at noon, at the Agriculture Building (old Wentworth School). Craig Cardwell with the Reidsville Area Foundation will share about opportunities for grant funding to assist organizations with Community Gardens for 2010. Community Gardens can help build healthy, local economies, fit bodies, and connected communities. The communities that start gardens can vary. They might include faith communities that donate produce to charities, school gardens that teach science and nutrition with hands-on learning, youth gardens that teach teamwork and entrepreneurial skills, or any other organization that is looking for a worthwhile project to promote health and local goodness! The Reidsville Area Foundation is excited about partnering opportunities with organizations that are interested in Community Gardens. Please call the Cooperative Extension office at 336.342.8230 or e-mail Brenda Sutton Brenda_sutton@ncsu.edu to register for the luncheon meeting at noon on October 27, 2009.

$0.07 - 0.08 per gallon. Discussion was then held about a pile of rock left by the contractor building the new runway. The contractor has not paid suppliers or sub-contractors. The situation is now in the hands of the bonding company to take care of the situation. The bonding company covers the county in cases like this so that the county does not get stuck with the cost. A discussion was held about locating a fuel retention pond, which makes sense. There was also discussion about a new hospital sock, at a cost of $8,400. The manager, who is leaving at the end of the month, was presented a plaque for his service to the airport. Dr. Keys reported that 40 applications have been received to fill the position. These will be discussed in a closed session. Installation of an electric gate, which would allow access to the airport at all hours for those who need it, was discussed. A hangar at the airport, which is owned by a company no longer using it, is for sale for $40,000. The board voted to ask the county commissioners to lend the airport the money at 4.5% interest, with monthly payments of $550. The airport would then rent out the hangar at a higher monthly rate, for a return on the money.
toward getting as many of them registered as possible. Other items discussed included: the Horse Center of the South, using a billboard to promote the party, and asking Bert Jones to consider running again for county commissioner. A personal note: I thought the Republican Party was going to concentrate on getting new candidates and also to look at the tax revaluation. I saw no young Republicans at the meeting. Both parties need to concentrate on getting good candidates and to remind the candidates that being county commissioner is a full time job. If anyone wants to make a difference, please consider getting involved.
NORTH CAROLINA HORSE COUNCIL RCC - September 28, 2009 Representatives of the NC Horse Council are visiting all of the horse centers in the state. Those centers are located in Williamston, Raleigh, Fletcher, Lumberton and Rockingham County. Among those present were County Commissioners Dallas, Kallam and Stanley. State Representative Nelson Cole was also there. He is trying to get state support for the center. I saw no mayors or council members from any of the county municipalities. Approximately 50 people were in attendance, and most of
them seemed to be in favor of the county sponsoring the center. Let me say once again that I support building the center in Rockingham County, but I am against county taxpayers having to fund the enterprise if it does not prove to be profitable. If the state will pay for the center and cover any losses as it has done for all the other centers, I am all for the center. No other center in NC has been financed with county taxes. The one located in Lumberton received state help in building a meeting center, but they were told they would have to raise the rest of the money themselves. Continued next page
REPUBLICAN PARTY Wray Center, Eden, Oct. 3, 2009 Only 26 people were present at this meeting, which was chaired by Wayne Sexton. Mr. Sexton went over things the party needs to do for the upcoming elections. The most important thing is to get outstanding candidates to run. The fish fry was not as successful as hoped, due to the weather so the next one will be held inside. Mr. Sexton apologized for not being more active as he was tending to his livelihood. This is a problem for many these days. Meetings of the party will be held on the first Saturday of each month, with the location to be announced. The honorable mayor of Madison, Mickey Silvers, made a short speech to indicate that he is again running for mayor of Madison, with the blessing of his family. He spoke about world crises, or was he thinking about the high cost of the local library? He had to leave early to attend the Madison parade/festival. Craig Travis announced that he is a candidate for county commissioner and Eric Smith is running for NC House of Representatives against Nelson Cole. Registration of voters was discussed and it was estimated that 60,000 Republicans have moved to North Carolina this year. The party needs to work

❦ PAGE 26 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, OCTOBER 16, 2009 Forrest Bray... continued from previous page More education about horses and also about the money required for this expensive hobby is needed before we proceed. According to data presented by the NC Horse Council, North Carolina has 306,210 equines, with an annual economic impact of $1.9 billion. Federal, state and local taxes on these enterprises amount to $196 million. The total employment impact for the state is 19,183. The Council did a very good on their presentation, but they gave no figures as to profit and loss on individual horse centers.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS September 28, 2009 Historian Dr. Lindley Butler gave an excellent power point presentation (in the not-too-distant past, this would have been a slide show presentation!) on what can be done with the old courthouse. Many uses were proposed, including using it to fill some of the space needs of county government as well as use by Rockingham Community College. Here we have a building, which was not adequate for its present use and now we can find lots of uses for it with little taxpayer cost involved. The county will continue to maintain the building, as it will use some of the space. Dr. Butler stated that the Rockingham County Historical Society would work to raise funds to support a museum based in the building. A full time director would be hired, with a lot of volunteers completing the roster. Nothing has been set in stone for the building since it will be at least eighteen months before the building will be available. This gives time for planning and working on it now will ensure that the building will not be left to deteriorate when it is empty. In eighteen months, possibly the county economy will be much improved, and the unemployment rate, which is now estimated at 17%, will be less. Timing may make a big difference in how it will be used. We must remember that we are adding buildings to county holdings, not eliminating them. The costs involved in maintenance will rise accordingly. As one commissioner stated recently, energy costs will continue to go up in the coming years. The animal shelter was discussed and other shelters were mentioned, such as Moore County. Moore County has a good facility, and it cost about half the cost of the proposed building for Rockingham County. When a county is mandated to provide buildings, whether animal shelter or courthouse/jail, the attitude seems to be one of going all out and letting an architect fulfill his dream of building a showcase. Instead, an architect should be designing a building to fill the needs of the county, keeping in mind the taxpayer base and what can be afforded. Even though we had a taxpayer committee to study these building projects, no licensed general contractor or anyone with building experience served on this committee. The proposed building will spend money on looks instead of using the money to take care of the animals. Commissioner Kallam is highly concerned about the costs. Ginger Waynick gave a report on the proposed county website and the sealed bids received to provide this service. The estimate for this is $250,000. If it is accepted, the site could be up and running in July, 2010. In Ms. Waynick’s presentation for this proposal in May, she referenced Chatham County’s website which she said cost them $39,000. What happened? Additionally, for a website to be worth anything, it must be updated on a regular basis. Is this updating factored into the cost? A new Hunting Advisory Committee is being formed to look into new hunting laws. The hiring of a full time person to write grant proposals was tabled for now. Televising of the county board meeting was also tabled.
ANIMAL SHELTER COMMITTEE MEETING October 8, 2009 Commissioner Bobby Stanley was in charge of this meeting. Only 9 members were present. Tom Wagoner gave a report on the bid schedule. He also reported that he, Mike Smith, and an unnamed contractor were going Our Advertisers are special to us, and we strive to bring them the best medium possible for business advertisements. over the plans to see if there were Eden’s Own Journal is distributed free of charge throughout Eden and Rockingham County by businesses, any changes that need to be made. in waiting rooms, and on stands at over 100 locations.
