Protecting Skin Health from the Inside Out

Summer is here and it feels good to enjoy spending time outside! However, increasing awareness of the dangers of UVA and UVB radiation, including skin cancer, can be enough to keep you covered up. With proper precautions, however, you can enjoy the sun – and reap the health benefits. Balancing the benefits vs. risks The human body is designed to use sunlight. Our sleep patterns are based on the rising and setting of the sun. Our skin uses the sun to make Vitamin D, which our bodies need for bone function. Even our moods can be affected by sunlight. Yet the sun’s ultraviolet rays are so powerful, just 15 minutes of exposure is enough to damage your skin. So how do you balance the risks of sun exposure with the health benefits? You can protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using the following tips: 1. Sunscreen. Always use sunscreen and reapply often – especially after swimming or sweating. Look for sunscreen protection in your cosmetics as well, including lip balm. 2. Cover up. Keep skin covered with lightweight clothing, protect your face, neck and ears with a wide-brimmed hat, and look for sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays. 3. Seek shade. When the sun is highest in the sky, take a break from the sun and head for cover. Not all sunscreens are created equally When you visit the pharmacy, you’ll be greeted by an array of sunscreens. How do you know which one to choose to get maximum protection? Consider these three factors: 1. Broad spectrum. If the label doesn’t say “broad spectrum,” it is not giving you complete protection. Broad spectrum blocks both UVA and UVB rays. 2. SPF 30. Look for a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher. SPF – or sun protection factor – indicates how long protection against UVB rays will last. No sunscreen blocks 100% of UVB rays, and higher SPFs are not much more protective than SPFs of 30 or 50.5 3. Water resistant. Water resistant does not mean waterproof, and you will still need to reapply, but water resistance should last 40-80 minutes. Make sure you apply sunscreen liberally (about 1 oz. for the average adult) to all exposed skin before heading out and then reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget your lips – use a lip balm with at least SPF 15. Increasing your natural protection In addition to taking external precautions, there are things that you can do to keep your skin healthy from the inside out and increase its resistance to the sun’s harmful effects. Topping the list are antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent DNA damage, decreasing mutations and reducing skin cancer risk and their anti-inflammatory properties guard against sunburn. So, can a salad really help prevent a sunburn? Short answer – yes. Carotenoids, which give pigment to orange and red vegetables and fruits, can help offer natural sun protection. Carotenoids accumulate in your skin to absorb sunlight and can help against skin damage and prevent premature aging. So next time you’re at the grocery store, load up on tomatoes (lycopene), sweet potato (beta carotene), spinach (beta carotene), berries (polyphenols), grapes (polyphenols), pomegranates (polyphenols), oranges (Vitamin C), fatty fish (omega-3s), and walnuts (omega-3s). Your skin will thank you! WE’RE HERE TO HELP If you need advice selecting a sunscreen product or are looking for relief from a sunburn, talk to our pharmacist – we are always happy to help! Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

She is an Instructional Coach, Virtual Academy Teacher, Chair of PBIS, sponsor of Student PBIS Leadership group, past sponsor of Gamer's club, sponsor to the Hotbotz robotics program and Co-Chair of the School Improvement team. She has presented at many professional development sessions. Stephanie also developed and implemented NC standards aligned lesson plans on World history for honors classes, and has been an Instructional Technology Specialist. Stephanie says, "I feel like some days I invest my heart and soul into my students. When my students feel like they succeed, I do too." After teaching for several years, she realized high school students did not like school and she wanted her students to love it. "I realized the class had to be more engaging and inviting. I believe every student should be challenged to perform at their best. Teachers have to make content relevant and help students make connections to the real world. I want students to think

for themselves, so I am constantly providing them with alternative viewpoints and pushing them to question their views, no matter what they are. The biggest compliment a student gave me was my class was “ I made her think!” We cannot expect to ever move forward and improve if we refuse to change. I want to encourage my students to embrace thinking about change and the possibilities it brings as a positive way of making everything around them, even our history class, a better place; this is my philosophy of education."

For years, Robyn volunteered in her children's schools. She decided that she would like to return to school to become a teacher. When she began field work classes in college, she saw herself in her students. "I saw the potential to be a steady force for the students that needed it. I was able to connect with students in a meaningful way. I

Teachers of the Year Continued from Page 6 was able to be patient with their deficiencies and try to help them learn strategies to manage the lack of support they may face in their future. Whatever accomplishments I have achieved as a teacher come from seeing my students as people who need support. Whatever growth my students have achieved has come from the determination we both have for my students to give their best at all times, regardless of circumstances. I will continue to work so that my future students see the best in themselves and expect more." Robyn has seen that teachers are faced with a myriad of problems, and they must become problem solvers. She says, "It often takes a team to solve the most difficult problems. Because of changes in society and curriculum, teachers must remain knowledgeable of new teaching methods and discoveries to continue to impact new groups of students." She has also shown her students that it is never to late to change course and learn new things! "It is gratifying when a student enters the classroom nervously in August, and then becomes reluctant to leave in June because they have become so engaged in the learning environment and their class family." MAUREEN FUNKHOUSER Ms. Maureen Funkhouser is a 4th grade teacher at Monroeton Elementary. Maureen attended Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education. In addition to her 4th grade class, Maureen also Grade Level Chairperson, a member of the School Improvement Team, Digital Learning Coach, Beginning Teacher Mentor, GO FAR Coach, and a PBIS Team Member. "On the first day of school, I provide my students with the opportunity to voice their learning styles and what’s most important to them as a learner in the classroom. " In Maureen's classroom, the

students work together to create classroom expectations, while also having a conversation about how this can help keep everyone on task and safe. She says, "Students thrive in a nurturing environment and I believe clear expectations and procedures are the first step in achieving this learning space. Each year, I see my students build bonds with peers they may not have made a connection with in a different setting. By building this community of mutual respect, I’ve also seen fewer conflicts among my students. In my classroom, my students feel supported by their peers and know it’s a place where it’s alright if mistakes happen. My students use mistakes, whether academic or social, as a learning tool and as a way to make a positive change." When she didn't know what career path to pursue in college, her father told her she would be an excellent teacher.

said, 'I’m not sure what you want your career path to be, but math should be in there somewhere.' Nineteen years later, I finally started teaching math." This is Mary Catherine's 10th year in teaching. For new or aspiring teachers she says, "Don’t try to master everything in one year. Set one or two obtainable goals each year and celebrate those little victories. It’s OK to fall asleep sitting up at 5 pm. That means you gave 150% to your students, but your body needs time to recharge." Mary Catherine says her strength in teaching is because, "I’m playful and sarcastic, which helps me get along well with middle school students. I’m always an active problem solver – which may be helping students in math, or navigating the murky waters of middle school and social media." That is certainly an optimistic way to describe

MARY CATHERINE HUSS Ms. Mary Catherine Huss is a 7th grade math and 7th grade advanced math teacher at Holmes Middle School. Mary Catherine graduated from UNC Charlotte, with a BA in Mathematics, and was a Lateral Entry teacher accredited through UNCG. She also has AIG endorsement through Duke University. She has served on the SIT team for 6 years. "Teaching math involves breaking through a lot of barriers. Many of my students' parents tell them “I can’t do that math”, so I have to build a lot of bridges and carefully scaffold concepts to help them realize they CAN do math." Last year she started a VEX Robotics Team, and they are in their second year of robot building and adaptation. Mary Catherine says, "I’ve always loved math. Even in high school, I was able to explain things and relate it so others could understand. While attending Surry Community College, Dr. Susan Worth told me I had an 'uncanny intuition in mathematics', and she had noticed others were seeking me out for help. She

Awarded by the State: L-R - Christopher C. Dobbins Chair N.C. Local Health Department Accreditation Board, Bill Smith, Lead Site Visitor, Ernesto Moseley, Rockingham County Health Director Katrina R. White, Co-AAC, Susan Young, AAC, Amy B. Thomas, Accreditation Administrator

Division of Public Health Awarded Reaccreditation with Honors Fifteen health departments were awarded reaccreditation status by the North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation (NCLHDA) Board on May 10, 2019. They are Albemarle Regional Health Services, Bladen County Health Department, Columbus County Health Department, Public Health Division of Gaston County Department of Health and Human Services, Graham County Department of Public Health, Guilford County Department of Public Health, Jackson County Health Department, Mecklenburg County Health Department, Montgomery County Health Department, Pitt County Health Department, Robeson County Health Department, Rockingham County Division of Public Health, Rutherford-PolkMcDowell District Health Department, Sampson County Health Department and Wilkes County Health Department. “All of the agencies recently achieving reaccreditation have much to be proud of. They have not only demonstrated their ability to meet a set of important performance standards, but excelled in many areas. Through reaccreditation, these agencies demonstrate a strong commitment to continuously work to improve the quality of services provided to their respective communities,” comments Amy Belflower Thomas, NC Local Health Department Accreditation Administrator. Reaccreditation with Honors designation was awarded to twelve agencies – Albemarle Regional Health Services, Bladen County Health Dept., Public Health Division of Gaston County Dept. of Health and Human Services, Graham County Dept. of Public Health, Guilford County Dept. of Public Health, Jackson County Health Dept., Mecklenburg County Health Dept., Pitt County Health Dept., Robeson County Health Dept., Rockingham County

Division of Public Health, Sampson County Health Dept. and Wilkes County Health Dept. This honorary designation was implemented for the first time in Fall of 2017 to recognize agencies that especially excelled in their accreditation assessment by missing one or less activities within each of five standards set by the NCLHDA program. The program is especially pleased to see that this special recognition was achieved by such a diverse group of local health departments- including rural, urban, large, and small health departments. North Carolina is the first state in the country to mandate accreditation for its local health departments. The purpose of the accreditation program is to assure a basic level of capacity and services in each of the local health departments across the state. Since the pilot program involving six local health departments began in 2004, all eighty-five health departments have been initially accredited in NC and, as of May 18th, 2018, have been reaccredited at least once. The process of accreditation includes three major components – a self-assessment completed by the agency, a site visit by a multidisciplinary team of peers to review performance standards, and determination of accreditation status by an independent Accreditation Board comprised of state and local public health officials, Board of Health members, County Commissioners, and public members. The NC Local Health Department Accreditation program is a collaboration of the North Carolina Institute for Public Health (part of the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and the North Carolina Association of Local Health Directors.

Anita's Angels holds Relay For Life Golf Tournament Relay for Life (RFL) of Rockingham County is kicking off another great year dedicated to supporting and celebrating cancer survivors and their caregivers. Our fundraising goal for 2019-2020 is $120,000, and everyone is invited to participate to help us surpass this target. Getting involved is easy, especially with the help of the RFL Committee. Several teams have already formed, and you can either join an established team or begin one of your own. Each team sets a fundraising goal and plans activities to raise donations and are encouraged to raise money all year. We will hold a meet and greet on September 3, 2019 at 6:30 PM at Osborne Baptist Church’s Fellowship Hall for anyone thinking about joining the Relay for Life Committee. Team meetings will be also held at Osborne Baptist Church’s Fellowship Hall and will begin September 5, 2019 at 6:30 PM. The RFP committee is there to support teams in their planning. The first Thursday of each month, they meet with team representatives to discuss exciting

ways to fundraise, celebrate successes, and share ideas. There are many ways to fundraise: sell T-shirts, luminaries, or torches; host bake sales, pinto bean suppers, car washes, or golf tournaments; or arrange raffles. Teams can be creative and have great fun holding these events, and the rewards of helping those affected by cancer in our community are gratifying. For survivors and their caregivers, it is crucial to feel connected and supported. RFL of Rockingham County holds several events just for survivors and their caregivers, including the Survivor Dinner. Survivors can register at no cost for this special evening of great food, goody bags, inspiring guest speakers, and fellowship with others. Our other signature event is the Relay for Life, where we celebrate survivors during a meaningful ceremony after which they walk together in the Survivor Lap with luminaries and torches lighting their way to honor or memorialize those whose lives have been impacted

Seven Miles of History & Nature With DRBA July 6 Float from Draper Landing Access to Berry Hill Bridge You're invited to join the Dan River Basin Association's July 6 First Saturday Outing, launching at Eden's Draper Landing Access. Mark Bishopric, avid paddler and DRBA board member, will coordinate the seven-mile float from the public river access point to just below the Berry Hill Bridge at the North Carolina-Virginia line. Participants are asked to meet at 10:00 a.m. at the access's graveled parking lot beside the NC 700 Bridge to get the shuttle (GPS 36.4987, -79.6814). Three Rivers Outfitters of Eden, 336627-6215 or www.3-R-O.com, will offer boat rentals and shuttle for the float, which will end on private property with the owner's permission. In this Class I trip, participants will navigate at least seven ledges and shoals with longstanding historic names found on old maps. Six of these have been made easier to navigate by structures such as sluice walls built in the nineteenth century by the Roanoke Navigation Company and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The sluices concentrate the river's water over shallow ledges, creating a channel deep enough to float long, nar-

row batteaux, the commercial "semi-trailers" of early river travel. Today's boaters benefit from the still-working navigation system that makes the river floatable even in extreme drought. Nearly a century before the river was improved for navigation, in 1728 a survey team led by Virginia's William Byrd determined the "dividing line" between North Carolina and Virginia. Byrd named the Dan River for the river in northern Israel and gave names that still survive to many of the river's tributaries. One was Cascade Creek, which enters from river left about halfway through the trip, so called "by reason of the multitude of waterfalls that are in it" some distance before it reaches the Dan. Devil's Jump Shoal, just downstream from Cascade Creek, is named for impressive mid-river

rocks. On river right less than a mile further downstream is the confluence of the Dan with Tanyard Creek, named for the tannery owned by John Morehead, father of NC Governor John Motley Morehead, who grew up nearby. Other examples of intriguing nineteenth-century labels are Beasley's Gallows Shoal Sluice and the well-preserved Hairston's Fish Trap Sluice, likely modified from an Indian fish weir built 1000 years ago. The trip is part of the series of year-round First Saturday Outings that have been offered by DRBA for seventeen years. On earlier floats along this section of the Dan, clusters of large Great Blue Heron nests have been spotted high in the trees. Herons often escort DRBA's flotilla along the river, unless they are busy with their family duties. Other interesting facts about the geology, history, and culture of this section of the river are found in Maps 42 - 45 of "An Insider's Guide to the Dan River in North Carolina and Virginia," available at www.danriver.org . Participants in the outing are asked to provide boat, life jacket for each boater, lunch and water, to dress in layers of artificial (quick-drying) fabric and to sign a waiver. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: To reach Draper Landing Access from the north or west, take NC 14 to NC 700 East. Travel on NC 700 about 4 miles through Eden to the bridge over the Dan River. After crossing the bridge, go 0.1 mile and turn left into the gravel driveway to the access. From the south take US 29 North, turning left (west) on NC 700. Just past Quesinberry Road, turn right into the gravel driveway to the access beside the NC 700 Bridge over the Dan. From the east take US 29 South, turning right (west) on NC 700, and proceed as described above. FURTHER INFORMATION: For trip information, contact trip coordinator Mark Bishopric, mbishopric@3-ro.com, 336-627-6215. For information about the Dan River Basin Association, visit www.danriver.org.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Elder Abuse brought to light locally and nationally The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners proclaimed World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15, 2019. The proclamation was presented to the Board by Adult Protective Services Supervisor Carye Dickerson, Services Program Manager Cathy Murray, and Consolidated Health & Human Services Director Felissa Ferrell. It strives to build support for elders and to encourage Rockingham County communities to recognize and celebrate older adults and their ongoing contributions to the success and vitality of our country. A pinwheel ceremony was held on June 13, 2019, to participate in this national conversation. Older people are vital, contributing members of Rockingham County and their maltreatment affects all of us. Just as we have confronted and addressed the social issues of child abuse and domestic violence, so too can we find solutions to address issues like elder abuse, which also threatens the well-being of our community. Over the last fiscal year, Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Social Services has received 240 reports alleging abuse, neglect or exploitation of an adult. Of these reports, 82 reports were substantiated, meaning that these reports were found to be in need of services. When looking at how Rockingham County’s number of substantiated reports compare to the overall state number, Rockingham County substantiated 34% of reports over the last year while the state had a substantiation rate of 24%. These numbers only reflect the timeframe between July 1, 2018 and May 31, 2019. When looking at counties across the state of similar size to Rockingham County, we are also above average again by 9 to10 percent. It is difficult for older people to stay involved with and connected to their communities as they age. As a result, older people are more likely to experience social isolation, which increases the likelihood of abuse and neglect. As a community, we can design stronger societal supports to keep our older people connected and protect them from financial, emotional, physical or sexual abuse. When we address a root cause, like social isolation, we also make it less likely that people will neglect themselves. Older adults who are socially connected and protected from harm are less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to go into nursing homes and more likely to live longer. We can and must create healthier and safer living environments for older adults, whether it is their homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. There are many ways to get involved in strengthening our communities and preventing elder abuse: It is up to everyone to prevent and address elder abuse. Talk about it – to your leaders, and to your neighbors. Advocate for elder abuse prevention and intervention programs. Raise public awareness by conducting presentations and distributing materials about elder abuse at senior centers, places of worship, physician offices, etc. Educate yourself and enable others to better recognize the warning signs. Lend strength to existing social support structures. Be a friendly visitor to an older person living in the community. Provide support for someone who is a caregiver Don’t tolerate ageism – this begins with not discriminating against older adults.

Gear for Heros... Continued from Page 1 KDH Defense Systems was founded by Dave Herbener, now retired, in 2003 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The privately owned company has since become a leading manufacturer of American-made custom solutions for body armor, featuring ballistic technologies and high-performance body armor. When asked what qualities brought them to Eden, Brent Frazier, Director of Quality, said Herbener did his research and found there was a large pool of sewing labor left unutilized due to plant closings in our area. He said, “Additionally this is a HUBZone area and a lot of the military contracts have set-a sides for HUBzone and small business which is what we are.” In 2011 the original plant closed and all operations were moved to Eden. Frazier has been with KDH since 2009, and held many key management positions since then. With his considerable technical and customer knowledge of nearly all of KDH products he is a critical member of the KDH Management and Leadership team. From 2013 through 2015, he performed various management roles as KDH re-engineered itself for Law Enforcement style products. In 2016, Frazier moved into the Director of Programs position in 2017 was promoted to Director of Quality. Originally from Reidsville, Frazier moved away for work, yet came back to live in Reidsville again to work for KDH. Headquarters of KDH Defense Systems, Inc. has

production as well as research and development and distribution in the 133,000 Square foot facility located at 750 Fieldcrest Road. In 2018 KDH was awarded three contracts with a potential value of $88 million to make body armor for the military and Drug Enforcement Administration as part of the Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract. Part of which is the 2019 investment of $29.9 million for delivery to the Army Contracting Command of Modular Scalable Vests (MSV) Gen. II System. Generally they are given a pattern set to go by. But for federal work they are given a statement of work as to what the vests should look like. Then it’s up to the KDH Research & Development team to come up with an acceptable design to present. Frazier noted, “Currently under contract with the Marine Corps, we have fielded the lightest and thinnest pack that’s ever been fielded to the military.” There is also a running 5 year contract with the Navy and “For Military” sale through the Army in progress. On the federal side there is a seven year contract with the Department of Homeland Security. Under that umbrella you have US Customs and Border Patrol, ICE, IRS, TSA and Coast Guard, and a few smaller agencies like the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The company also has five and seven year contracts coming in. Frazier remarked, “ It’s funny to me that we are here in Eden NC and are the largest body armor supplier to the Army, and a lot of people don’t know it.”

Designing and creating state-of-the-art protective solutions KDH presently employs over 250 and is in the process of hiring up to 70 new employees over the next few weeks. Entry level laborer to skilled sewers are needed with an average salary to come. Frazier noted how most managers and supervisors came in as an entry level sewer, Its just our way to work these people up through the ranks. He is assured the company is going to be here for a long time, pointing out they have been winning contracts for the past 10 years. To be considered for a job you can apply at their office located at 750 Fieldcrest Road, from 9am - 5pm. The company is a grateful contributor to the YMCA Golf Tournaments, participated in job fairs and is a Chamber of Commerce member. For more information please visit www.kdhdefensesystems.com

satisfaction, emotional and physical rewards. And kept me healthy at the same time as my body was facing the stresses of aging. After many weeks of training and sweating, I approach the track and am ready to compete, my teammates are cheering for me. I am ready! The moment comes when I am called to the start line to be introduced to the crowd. My heart is pounding, I am alert, I am ready to compete. I am proud to be there representing North Carolina. I think about all the hours practicing in the cold and rain alone on the track or with my coach pushing me to be the best that I can be. I wish Godspeed to my opponents but am unconsciously thinking that I hope they have their worst competitive day and that I have my best! After the gun goes off, I see nothing but the finish line, I don't see the other athletes, hear the crowd or all the noise and cheering. I only think about the finish and remind my body to remember what it is like to be the best! My body, my soul, my thoughts, my mind, my surroundings all become one with the need to win. A primal urge takes over and as I crossed the finish line, I am alive and just finished as a champion, no matter what place I finished. I am in the top 1% of the nation for senior citizens by just being able to compete at the event. When my focus is on a purpose, I drown out the noise, and my body chooses a fight or flight. I am forced to fight and be so much more than I ever thought I was capable of doing. There is this force in everyone, it is only our mind that keeps us from competing, fighting, and clawing for every inch of the field. I hope everyone will just let go once and try their best without the fear of failure to be "the best that you can be". The feeling is truly amazing when it is accomplished. Competing and hopefully winning, is a truly amazing feeling. Maybe it is because I never had the feeling as a teenager or young adult, but it makes me a better person to have done it as an older adult. You will feel fierce, focused, calm, fast, strong, determined, and self-confident. Something the philosophers called selfactualized. It is an unbelievable feeling and boosts my aging brain to great heights and makes me feel as though I am capable of greatness. Remember it is not how old you are, but how you are old!

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued From Page 10 branded vehicle or Rolling Billboard, within the Marketing Tools/Best Use of Promotional Items category. The branded Impala, promoting the County, was painted by Graphic Solutions on Freeway Drive in Reidsville. County Manager Lance Metzler presented Scott at the June meeting of the Board of Commissioners. "Mable (Scott) came up with this idea; it showcased the County across the state; and it does a great job of promoting the County," Metzler said. Awards were presented April 11th, at NC3C’s annual Spring Conference in Durham, where 248 entries were received. Judges were communication professionals from the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers and a variety of communications industries across the state. The purpose of North Carolina City & County Communicators is to encourage professional development and networking among local governmental communications professionals. The organization was formed in March 2007 and is made up of government professional communicators from around the state.

Rockingham County: Poetry, Literary Arts 1st Place Patches of Love: A Quilt of Memories Garland Paschal

The patches came from many sources, places, and events as well. The stories they represent bring memories we love to tell! Some things appear that relate to olden days of yore; Others speak of special times that make us yearn for more. Sewn with special care and precision, the patches came from numerous places. They may have been a part of a beautiful blouse or a scarf trimmed in laces. We wonder about the reasons these fashions were so proudly worn. And dream of special people these pieces may have adorned. Where were the patches purchased? How many did they buy? I know that some came from feed sacks, that provided the livestock’s food supply. Others came from a cloth store in a town not too far away, But all the material had to match and fit in a special way. The patches are an integral part of many a shape and form, From rlarge dresses with gathered skirts to solemn attire for the forlorn, At times they are full of plaids, checks, and showy flowers; In other times they are in formal wear like dresses for lovely showers. As we examine the lovely array of patches displayed in beautiful cover, We think of people and events we still need to discover. It may have been an outfit for that very first day of school, Or a "Sunday church dress" proudly worn to learn "the golden rule". The collection of memories is really a special treasure for a family or friend, The patches bring joy, pain, or subtle peace on days without end. In times of deep remembrance they bring inspiration from above, They are viewed with equal value in the lovely "patches of love".

2nd Place The Dark Path Paula Tutherow

I walked a path that was dark, painful and scary. A friend came along side me and the path was not as dark and scary. Two more friends joined us and the darkness seemed to lighten. Ten more friends came to walk the path with me and the darkness turned to Gray. More friends came to walk with us and the light began to break through. I could now see friends all around me praying, loving and caring for me. The light was getting brighter with each step. More friends came to push the darkness back not just for me but others walking the path. Each friend brings their God-given light to shine in the dark, painful and scary places. Because of friendship I could walk this path sharing my light with those around me no longer scared. Come, friend. Come walk with me in the light pushing the darkness back.

Good news for our rivers and streams in the Dan River Basin! For more than thirty years, Virginia’s uranium mining ban has helped protect Virginia’s waterways and keep them safe. This moratorium doesn't only protect Virginia, the Dan River and its tributaries also cross into North Carolina. On June 17, 2019, the Supreme Court agreed that the Commonwealth of Virginia has the right to uphold the ban and safeguard our region. DRBA will continue to work with partners across the region to make sure this ban remains in place.

A mother is God's way of giving us someone to hold us when we hurt. To listen when we have to cry or talk. A mother is always there when we need a shoulder to lean on She's also the one we go to when we need a confidant. A mother teaches us how and when to talk; she also helps us learn to walk. She's a playmate when we need one, no matter what age we are. She teaches us how to live, and how to give. She gives us her all, and when we need more, she's always there. A mother is always our mother, and we’re always her child, No matter how old we get. She always knows what's best for us, Even when we think she's wrong. A mother loves without condition, Whether she's your natural mother, stepmother, or adoptive. A mother is God's way of telling us He loves us, And will do all He can to keep us in His love.

for Nancy Wright who was living in Stokes County in 1852 when she applied for a widow’s pension based on the service of her first husband, John Smith, who had served in the War of 1812. In her deposition, she gave the following information before the Superior Court of Law and Equity of the County of Stokes. “…Nancy Wright, formerly the widow of John Smith, who was distinguished by the name of Red Head John Smith, enlisted in Halifax Court House in Virginia in a company commanded by Capt. Francis Walker in a Regiment of Infantry of the United States, number of Regiment not recollected, in the fall of the year 1812 for five years and died or was drowned while in service, as she was informed, about ten months after his enlistment.” Nancy stated that she had two children born of her body, two sons who died and one daughter born shortly after her said husband enlisted.

ing in Stokes County and married to James Taylor and is the only heir at law of the said John Smith, deceased. In April of 1852, Daniel Griffin, aged 64 of Forsyth County, appeared before a Justice of the Peace and stated he was well acquainted with John Smith, called “Red Mouth or Red Head” John Smith, a resident of Halifax County, VA, who enlisted to serve as a private soldier for the term of five years under the command of Capt. Francis Walker, in, he thinks, the 10th Regiment of Infantry and marched in said company from a place in Mecklenburg County, VA, called Sandy Fork towards the north but never returned home. He understood that the said Smith was drowned. He saw his wife, whose maiden name was Blankenship, come to see her husband at the station where he marched from and he remembers that she was a low, chunky woman. The deponent emigrated from Mecklenburg County to Stokes County, NC about 26 years ago. Sworn and subscribed to on the 10th day of April 1852. The 1850 census of Stokes County, Meadows District, records James Taylor, aged 50 and Betsy, aged 40, both listed as being born in Virginia with a James Taylor, aged 19, born in North Carolina in the household. No Nancy Wright appears on the census. However, by 1860, when the census was recorded, there is a Nancy Wright, aged 70, and a Reuben Wright, aged 56, living in the household of J. T. W. Davis. Her daughter, Elizabeth (Betsy), and her husband James Taylor are also on the census in a separate household, along with James W. Taylor, aged 29. There is a marriage bond in Stokes County for one James W. Taylor and Sarah A. Welsh dated 9 April 1861. However, I find no information on this family or his parents and grandmother on the Stokes County 1870 census. If there are female descendants of this family, they would be eligible for membership in the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 on the service of John Smith. One of the four chapters of this society in NC, the Cherokee Chapter, is located here in Rockingham County. Mrs. Gertrude Dickerson, of Eden compiled a written record of the Civil War memoirs of her grandmother Martha Ann Baughn Stone who died July 16, 1921. The notes were found by Donna Stowe while researching the Guy V. Lewis Collection in the Special Collections Room at the Rockingham Community College Library. “When my husband, John Henry Stone, was called into the army, he was thirty years old. We had a little girl who was two

years old, so I went to live with my parents. Out in the country, not too far from several farm homes was a one-room schoolhouse and our friends begged me to teach their children in this place. We owned a small house not too far from the schoolhouse, so I decided to move out there to live and teach. My father had Aunt Phyllis to go with me to look after my little girl Ellen. Aunt Phyllis was a sweet, dependable colored slave, and I knew while I was in school, she would take good care of my baby. “One day some farmers came by and told me a Union detachment had camped just across the road from where I lived. They told me they for-

aged, stole your horses, food or anything, and to watch out for them. Or better still, close the school and move back to my father’s home. “When I reached home after school, I told Aunt Phyllis to keep Ellen with her and I went down the hill, crossed the road to the Yankee’s camp. A soldier stepped forward and asked what I wanted. I told him I would like to speak to the officer in charge. He led me to a tent, called in and told the Captain that someone wanted to speak to him, and then ushered me inside. “‘What can I do for you, Madam?’ asked the Captain. ‘I live on the hill up there in the house you can see,’ I explained to him. ‘My husband is away in

From Root to Branch... Continued from Page 16 the Confederate Army, and I live up there alone with my little girl and my maid. I would like your promise not to allow any of your men on my property while you are camped here.’ The captain rose to his feet, bowed to me and said, ‘Lady, you have my word none of my men will be allowed on your place,’ then he stepped to the door of the tent, called the Sergeant and said, ‘Sergeant, I want you to tell all our men, that I am ordering every one of them not to go on this lady’s property and if a one of them disobeys that order, he will be shot!’ The sergeant saluted him and left to give out his orders. I thanked him and he bowed and said goodbye. It can be said to the honor of these men, that they never molested or harmed these lonesome women who were left to watch and pray. “For days afterwards no news came to the solitude of the hills until detailed scouts were sent by General Lee to seek deserters. The scouts brought news of the battle of Gettysburg and others. They told wonderful tales of adventure and of comrades in the world of action. Among those were Captains Grimes and Todd. “One morning a detail led by General Joseph Wheeler passed along the mountainside headed for Martinsville. A light skirmish occurred there, but on the route no harm was forthcoming from the dread Sherman’s army. “Typical of wartime methods, it was necessary for [money] to be concealed in some safe place. Near my home was an old flour mill and just below

the dam, Fishers Creek made a careful turn. There a large tree had sent out gnarled limbs in protection over the surface of the water. There the Ambassador from Jefferson Davis brought bags of gold and silver and placed them in the bend of the creek, back beneath the care of the tree and the bank. These bags were left here all during the war and when peace came, these men returned and secured the money. It was found untouched and many persons later visited the spot to see the hole that concealed an amount so valuable. “By far, the most sorrowful feature of the war was the death list in almost every home. My own list consists of two brothers and my husband. “One morning, I heard someone drive up in the yard. I opened the front door, and upon seeing me, the driver of the vehicle called out, ‘Where do you want the body?’ ‘What body?’ I asked. “John Henry Stone’s,’ he answered. My husband’s body and I didn’t know he was dead! An epidemic of typhoid fever had hit the camp near Goldsboro and he died in a few days. “The agony of such a loss is a thought too deep for words, although it is noble to feel that one has endured that for one’s country. “Those days were times of strife, confusion, distress, and sorrow, of bloodshed and bereavement. And we should be thankful today that we can follow the sun from the Atlantic to the Pacific across a continent of happy homes.” For research information

Reidsville TIDBITS The NCDMV License Plate Agency in Reidsville celebrated their Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting, Tuesday, April 30th, 2019 in Reidsville, NC.

Angie Boles, Executive Director Help Inc. Jen Nixon, Executive Director RAF Maryjane Webb, Board Chair - Help Inc.

Reidsville Area Foundation gives to Help Incorporated SquareOne Family Justice Center – Help Incorporated: Center Against Violence was the recipient of $50,000 of a $150,000 pledge from the Reidsville Area Foundation for the purpose of building the new SquareOne Family Justice Center building to be located on Cherokee Camp Rd., Wentworth, NC. With the new facility, victims of violence will be able to enter the doors and have most of the services they need available under one roof. The new center will be the co-locations of a multi-disciplinary team of partners: Law Enforcement, District Attorney, Victim Attorneys, Department of Social Services, medical and Freedom House along with the staff of Help Incorporated. For many victims, the journey of receiving services means telling their story several times and receiving help proves to be too burdensome and many lose

hope and return to their abusive situations. After an assault in Rockingham County, a survivor of domestic violence would fill out 81 forms, receive 33 referrals, make 28 appointments, wait approximately 12 hours, find childcare 8 times, talk with 42 people, travel 220 miles, lose approximately $500, be alienated by 6 family members and friends … just in the first 3 days. A Family Justice Center changes the way the system works, coordinating the needed services for victims. In rural Rockingham County, limited resources and geographical isolation make the need for SquareOne Family Justice Center more pressing. SquareOne Family Justice Center is very grateful to the Reidsville Area Foundation for seeing the need in our county and helping us help those in our community have safe empowered lives.

Financial hardships can leave you feeling helpless, embarrassed, stressed out, and hopeless. As a Rockingham County native, I take pride in offering a service that can help ease many of the financial burdens that my neighbors here are facing. I understand how overwhelming financial struggles can be and how they can affect your entire family. A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may help you find some much-needed relief from burdensome debt and help you get on the road to financial recovery. Many people do not realize how a bankruptcy case can help them. They believe that bankruptcy ruins their credit forever, that they will lose everything that they have, and that they will never get credit again. That is not true. In fact, bankruptcy can often help you keep property that you are otherwise at risk of losing and can help you get a fresh start and begin the process of improving your credit score. I offer FREE consultations in a relaxed, friendly, and confidential environment. I sit down with potential clients at these meetings to discuss their financial situation and offer advice as to what options they may have under the US Bankruptcy Code. I also give them the opportunity to ask any questions they have about the bankruptcy process and the impact it will have on their family. If you are curious about how bankruptcy can help you, please call me and schedule a free consultation. If you are curious, but not yet ready to come in for a consultation, call me and I will send you a packet of information to help you decide if bankruptcy is an option you would like to explore further. Brandi L. Richardson, Attorney at Law. We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

B.A.S.S. and the City of Reidsville, recently opened an educational fishing trail on Lake Reidsville to help anglers learn how to catch fish during different times of the year. The N.C. Fishing Trail at Lake Reidsville consists of nine fishing sites scattered around the 750-acre reservoir. Each site is enhanced with fish attractors to attract largemouth bass and other sport fishes.

Roaming Around Reidsville By Angela G. Stadler, Public Information Officer, City of Reidsville For a variety of reasons, this month’s “Roaming Around Reidsville” column will be fairly short, but I couldn’t let July pass without telling you of some wonderful upcoming events going on in Reidsville. As I told you in the June column, Lake Reidsville is one of our hidden gems that even some of our own residents don’t know much about or haven’t visited. But if they have been to the lake, many times it is because they went to enjoy the annual Independence Day Celebration. This year, the Independence Day event is planned for July 6, from 3 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Many people ask us why isn’t it on July 4th? In years past, it was. For many years the Reidsville Jaycees spearheaded the event. Sometime in the past decade or so, the City of Reidsville’s Parks & Recreation Department took the event over. And while, for a long time, it was held on July 4th, in more recent years, the event was moved to a date other than July 4th. This has worked well for a variety of reasons – it has saved money and allowed local residents to go to other events on the 4th and then come

out to Lake Reidsville for our celebration. And our Police Department has gotten to be pros at getting the cars out quickly following the event’s end. It has just been a “win win” all around. Gates open at 3p.m. for the celebration. The $5 entry fee per car or $2 per walk-in includes all of the rides, which will be held from 4-8:30 p.m. There will be water slides (and a regular slide!), two bounce houses, a Whirlybird Ride, a Ballistic Swing Ride, a Trackless Train and a Rock Climbing Wall. New this year are a Wipeout Game and Bumper Cars. Sounds like fun for all. DJ Tez will keep visitors musically entertained from 46p.m. This Reidsville native is filled with energy and so are his musical selections. And he will be warming up the ground for our headliner band, the always popular Band of Oz. If you love beach music, you know the Band of Oz. They will be performing at the amphitheater from 7-10p.m. and preparing the crowd for the premiere fireworks show in Rockingham County. The fireworks will start

around 10p.m. so you need to be in the park by 9p.m. to ensure you can get in. Also, please leave your pets, coolers and alcohol home. Other Upcoming Events in July • Every Sat., Tues. and Thurs. in July, come check out the Farmer’s Market at Market Square in downtown Reidsville. Fresh vegetables and other offerings are available from 7a.m. to 1p.m. SNAP/EBT, Farmer’s Market WIC, Debit and Credit cards are accepted so make sure to stop by. • July 12: Second DownTown Fridays continues in July. Come enjoy the music at Mural Park, kids activities, food and classic cars & trucks. The fun, sponsored by Team Reidsville, Reidsville Downtown Corporation and Reidsville Chamber of Commerce, is from 6-9p.m. The event ends with the Movie @ Market Square: Ratatouille, beginning around dusk/9:15p.m. Bring a chair or blanket for this free movie on the lawn at Market Square. • July 27: Music @ Market Roaming Continued on Page 23

A Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening Celebration was held at the NCDMV License Plate Agency in Reidsville on April 30th at 9am.

In the process of job searching and completing applications on-line, the task can become overwhelming and frustrating especially for those of us who didn’t grow up with computers or those that don’t use computers on a regular basis. Let’s start with email addresses. There are a number of free accounts you can set up, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook. When you create an email address for job searching and application purposes, be sure to keep it professional. Use your name in some combination like your first initial and last name, or your last name and a favorite number. Avoid email addresses that give too much information like momtowildchild@gmail.com or argue2win@yahoo.com. The first email tells personal information in that you have a child or children and the second indicates that you may always like to prove your point. Neither one of those is something an employer needs to know prior to meeting you! Why do you even need an email to apply for a job? In the world of online applications, your email address is required to create a profile for the company you are applying for. The profile is creating a file on the company site that will keep your information for future applications. You still need to log into the account to actually apply, but once your information is in there; typically, you do not need to re-enter everything, you just need re-check information to make sure items are current such as current phone numbers. Sometimes, companies also use your email address to send specific assignments, like assessments or a pre-employment test. Other times, new hire paperwork is sent via email, so it is important to be sure you can access your email and complete the

required tasks as they often have a limited time to complete. So, is a log-in or username the same thing as an email? No, not necessarily but it could be the same for a particular site. A user name or log in is the name used to access your account or profile. Sometimes it is a complete email address or partial email address (without the @gmail.com). Other times the username or log in is a name or nickname you choose to use. Again, be careful that you don’t fall into an unprofessional username or log in name. Some companies might auto create them for you, for example by using the last 4 letters of your name and last 4 digits of your social security number. Be sure to write down the name of the company and the user name or log in name, as it can be overwhelming to remember all of them. What about passwords? Now that you have a log in or user name, you need to create a password for the profile account. Most company sites will tell you how many characters these need to be and any special requirements such as capital letters, special characters, or numbers needed. The typical password is 6-8 characters total. You password should be different for each site as they have different requirements and it should be different on each site to increase your own internet safety. Keeping a notebook of company sites with log in information in a safe place not only helps you remember where you have already applied, but you can track positions you have applied for and keep your information current in the applicant pool until you secure the job you are really looking for. For assistance in the online application process, call Goodwill Career Services at 336-579-6418.

Good Day My boss told me to have a good day.. so I went home.

Car What happens to a frog's car when it breaks down? It gets toad away.

Mahatma Gandhi often walked barefoot which produced an impressive set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, making him rather frail and with his odd diet he often suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

JULY MAZE OF THE MONTH

Naked Bob goes to see his friend Pete. He finds Pete in his barn dancing naked around his John Deere. "What are you doing!" asks Bob. Pete stops dancing & says, "My wife has been ignoring me lately so I talked to my psychiatrist and he said I needed to do some thing sexy to a tractor." [to attract her]

Cat A woman answered the doorbell with a man standing on her porch. The man said, "I'm terribly sorry. I just ran over your cat and I would like to replace it for you." The woman replied, "Well that's alright with me, but how are you at catching mice?"

Number 2 If number two pencils are so popular why are they still number two?

God A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'

Fun Limericks A canner, exceedingly canny, One morning remarked to his granny. A canner can can, Anything that he can, But a canner can't can a can, can he?. There was a young woman named Bright, Whose speed was much faster than light. She set out one day, In a relative way, And returned on the previous night. There once was a man from Tibet, Who couldn't find a cigarette. So he smoked all his socks, and got chicken-pocks, and had to go to the vet. My neighbor came over to say, Although not in a neighborly way, That he'd knock me around, If I didn't stop the sound, Of the classical music I play.

Mish Mosh Humor What’s the best thing about Switzerland? I don’t know but the flag is a big plus. Did you hear about the mathematician who is afraid of negative numbers? He’ll stop at nothing to avoid them. There is a new restaurant called Karma. There is no menu, you get what you deserve. Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut? He just needed a little space. How do you drown a hipster? Throw him in the mainstream. Dad: Doctor, my child has swallowed a pen, what should I do? Doctor: Use a pencil until I get there.

Elder Abuse prevention recognized in Wentworth Adult Abuse Awareness Day was recognized with Pinwheels for Prevention in Wentworth Older people are vital, contributing members of Rockingham County and their maltreatment affects all of us. Just as we have confronted and addressed the social issues of child abuse and domestic violence, so too can we find solutions to address issues like elder abuse, which threatens the well-being of our community. Over the last fiscal year, Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Service, Division of Social Services has received 240 reports alleging abuse, neglect or exploitation of an adult. Of these reports, 82 reports were substantiated, meaning that these reports were found to be in need of services. When looking at how Rockingham County’s number of substantiated reports compare to

the overall state number, Rockingham County substantiated 34% of reports over the last year while the state had a substantiation rate of 24%. These numbers only reflect the timeframe between July 1, 2018 and May 31, 2019. When looking at counties across the state of similar size to Rockingham County, we are also above average again by 9 to10 percent. It is difficult for older people to stay involved with and connected to their communities as they age. As a result, older people are more likely to experience social isolation, which increases the likelihood of abuse and neglect. As a community, we can design stronger societal supports to keep our older people connected and protect them from financial, emotional, physical or sexual abuse. When we address a root cause, like social isolation, we also make it less likely that people will neglect

Now is the time... A Feature of the Leaksville Garden Club

Compiled by Margaret Petty

July Gardening Tips from Leaksvillle Garden Club • Water thoroughly and deeply each time and allow the soil to dry out between watering • Container plants need daily watering, especially if exposed to sunlight. Water until it runs out of drainage holes • Water during early morning hours to allow leaves to dry off before the suns hits them. Wet foliage makes plants more susceptible to fungus and disease. • Keep deadheading annuals to encourage continued blooming • Pull out dead annuals and add them to the compost pile • Replant that spot with hardy annuals such as pansies or calendulas • Get a second bloom from faded annuals by cutting back by one half their height, then fertilize with a liquid 5-10-10 fertilizer • Fertilize container gardens regularly with a liquid all-purpose plant food • Discontinue pinching mums by mid-month to allow development of flower buds for the fall • Provide adequate support for dahlia blooms and allow only the main terminal bud to develop • Divide and replant bearded iris when they have finished blooming • Sow seeds of hollyhocks, daisies, foxgloves, Canterbury Bells, and Sweet William into the garden now for next year’s bloom • Prune summer blooming shrubs for shape after they have finished flowering. Remove diseased or dead branches • Fertilize rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias after flowering with a rhododendron or evergreen type fertilizer • Plant successions of salad crops for continued harvesting throughout the summer. Sow seeds of cool-season crops by mid-July • Replant empty areas with a cover crop to be tilled into the ground later to add nitrates to the soil • Raise the cutting height of the mower to keep grass roots cooler and the moisture in the soil longer • Avoid using lawn fertilizer in hot, dry weather • Move houseplants to a shady, protected spot. Water and mist more often. Feed with ½ the recommended strength with a soluble house plant fertilizer while they are actively growing • Keep weeds pulled before they have a chance to flower and go to seed again • Change the water in the birdbath regularly • Seek and destroy all slugs and their eggs • Continue to watch for insect or disease damage and take steps to control it • Sit back and enjoy your efforts in the garden!

themselves (self-neglect). Older adults who are socially connected and protected from harm are less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to go into nursing homes and more likely to live longer. We can and must create healthier and safer living environments for older adults, whether it is their homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. There are many ways to get involved in strengthening our communities and preventing elder abuse: • It is up to everyone to prevent and address elder abuse. Talk about it – to your leaders, and to your neighbors. - Advocate for elder abuse prevention and intervention programs. - Raise public awareness by conducting presentations and distributing materials about elder abuse at senior centers, places of worship, physician offices, etc. - Educate yourself and enable others to better recognize the warning signs • Lend strength to existing social support structures - Be a friendly visitor to an older person living in the community - Provide support for someone who is a caregiver - Don’t tolerate ageism – this begins with not discriminating against older adults The Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Social Services was proud to host a pinwheel ceremony on June 13, 2019 participate in this national conversation.

Robocall Update: AMAC warns of more Social Security phone scams

Offer Expires July 11, 2019

Robocall Social Security Administration scams are on the rise. The Federal Trade Commission [FTC] says SSA telephone shakedowns specifically targeting senior citizens now surpass phony IRS calls, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. For the past few years fake IRS calls topped the list of complaints received by the FTC. “But the new SSA scam is trending in the same direction – with a vengeance. People filed over 76,000 reports about Social Security imposters in the past 12 months, with reported losses of $19 million,” according to the FTC. AMAC president Dan Weber notes that at its peak, between October 2015 and September 2016, losses from IRS scams reached $17 million. Meanwhile, in just two months, February and March of this year, the FTC received some 36,000 complaints from individuals who received Social Security calls. And, $6.7 million in reported losses were logged. Weber says that “these con men are ‘phishing’ for Social Security numbers that can be used to commit all kinds of online crime. They can use stolen SS accounts to take out loans in your name, leaving you holding the bag. In addition,

while they are at it, they often try to extort money from you. Meanwhile, the solution is quite simple-- just hang up.” In addition, AMAC advises that if you get such a phone call don’t fall for the scam even if your caller ID shows that the Social Security Administration is calling you. The SSA does not make threats. In fact, you should never give out your SS number, your bank account number or any such sensitive personal information to anyone who calls you out of the blue-- especially if the voice on the other end of the line is a recording. Dan Weber also recommends that you simply hang up on such callers and then call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to report the incident. He says the Social Security Administration has issued a procedure notification for those who might receive scam calls, which can be accessed on the Internet at this address [https://www.identitytheft.gov/SSA]. “Robocall scams are fast becoming the methodology of choice for tech-savvy crooks. And, while we are each responsible for protecting ourselves from these criminals, the government has a responsibility, too. To that end, there is legislation in Congress that seeks to address robocall stings.”

Recycling Center Hours of Operation Have Been Expanded

Reminder that all recyclables can now be dropped off at our recycling center that is located at 123 Mebane Bridge road. The recyclables allowed consist of the following: plastic containers, mixed paper, used oil, batteries, cardboard, aluminum cans and tin cans. We DO NOT accept tires. Our Mebane Bridge site has been renovated to better handle the recycling material and ease of access. In addition, the site now has longer hours of operation. The recycling center is now open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday thru Sunday. The facility will be closed on Mondays and will be closed in observance of 11 holidays throughout the year. According to the NC Department of Environmental Quality, the City of Eden is only allowed to accept recycling material from Eden residents. As such, we will be furnishing a vehicle sticker to Eden residents the first time they visit the site to drop off their recyclables. Once residency has been verified, a sticker will be given to the resident. The sticker must be displayed in the right rear of their vehicle. Each sticker will be numbered and assigned to that vehicle only. If a resident needs more than one sticker, for other vehicles they own, that vehicle must be driven to the site on a subsequent visit to the recycling center in order to be registered to receive a recycling sticker. For additional questions regarding recycling, please call 336-627-7781 ext. 103 or email Dusty Curry, Superintendent of Solid Waste at dcurry@edennc.us.

Economic & Tourism Development 770 Ventures (MillerCoors) A Duke Energy Site Readiness process on this site took place in late May of 2019 at city offices. Representatives from a global site consultant group met with City, County, NCDOT and utility companies to discuss the assets of the former MillerCoors site. The purpose of this Duke Energy-funded process was to evaluate the site and provide recommendations to make it more marketable to potential tenants. The company selected to facilitate this process has experience with larger, water-intensive projects, which is what is needed for the site. A late June 2019 presentation on the process findings will be presented. Update on SGRTEX In the October 2018 City Manager’s report there was an update concerning the closure of SGRTEX and the status of the $750,000 in CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds from the NC Department of Commerce that was received for the benefit of SGRTEX. It was noted the City had received $750,000 in CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds from the NC Department of Commerce …“for construction purposes and other rehabilitation of the building…”. The December 19, 2014 loan agreement with an expiration date of December 14, 2019 between the City of Eden and SGRTEX concerning these funds indicated that SGRTEX would not have to make any repayment of these funds if all of the terms and conditions of the loan agreement were complied with. However, in the event of noncompliance, SGRTEX would owe a pro-rated repayment amount.

On March 26, 2019, Mayor Hall received a letter from Iris C. Payne, Director, CDBG Programs for the NC Department of Commerce Rural Economic Development Division that stated SGRTEX would need to repay the City $300,000. This would allow us to then reimburse the state. I am pleased to report that the $300,000 due to the City has now been received from property previously owned by SGRTEX and a check for the full $300,000 dated May 31, 2019 was submitted to the state in fulfillment of the March 26, 2019 request and the December 19, 2014 loan agreement. Finally, an offer to purchase the former SGRTEX facility has now been accepted by the financial institution holding the deed of trust on this facility. Once a judge approves the offer, the company can proceed to close on the site. The City and County economic development offices are working with the prospective new owners. NC Rural Center Policy Luncheon Randy Hunt, Main Street Manager and Mike Dougherty, Director of Economic Development attended this May 21 meeting that focused on three initiatives the NC Rural Center is advocating for in this year’s General Assembly long session. They include broadband, healthcare access and entrepreneurship support. The NC General Assembly is comprised of: Senate 50 seats total 29 Seats Republican 21 Seats Democrat House 120 seats total 65 Seats Republican 42 Seats Democrat As the information indicates, the Republicans no longer hold a veto-proof majority. The urban/rural divide is illustrated by the 19 northeastern NC counties having 17 representatives in the General Assembly while Mecklenburg County has 17 representatives itself. Rural counties need to work together and show solidarity to compete with the increasing power of the urban areas. Broadband The goals are availability, affordability and adoption. $98 million has been given to 19 rural counties to help make these areas more accessible to broadband. An additional $15 million was approved by the House and is on its way to the Senate. Healthcare Access 74 of 80 NC rural counties are considered “medical deserts” and seven rural hospitals are in jeopardy of closing. House Bill H655 is designed to help working families who are ineligible

Very small businesses (those with 10 employees or fewer) make up 75% of all rural NC establishments. While these firms have grown by 2% (2,393 businesses,) rural counties have lost 7% of businesses since 2005 (4,289 businesses.) An aging and declining workforce, underfunding of entrepreneurial education, lack of investment in and coordination among existing business support networks, deficient and outdated physical and digital infrastructure and access to capital are some of the reasons for this decline. 87% of private-sector jobs created in rural NC are formed by companies that are already located in the state or by homegrown entrepreneurs. The Rural Center is working with the General Assembly to address these issues that are causing business declines because these are the main source of new jobs.

Engineering Street Resurfacing Projects: All of the street resurfacing projects for the 2018-19 budget year have been completed. The pavement markings have been installed on the new parking lot at the Leaksville Landing so it is now complete. The walking tracks at Freedom Park, Mill Avenue Recreation Center and the Bridge Street Recreation Center were all just recently resurfaced and are in great condition. NCDOT State Resurfacing: The roadway construction and resurfacing of NC14 from Cox Street to the Virginia State Line was completed this week. The permanent pavement markings are scheduled to be installed sometime in the next two weeks. APAC/Thompson Arthur is currently working on the Rockingham Resurfacing schedule for NCDOT. Sections of Aiken Road, Summit Road, Friendly Road, Northridge Drive, Wilshire Drive, Lincoln Street, Short Union Street and Landfill Drive are scheduled to be resurfaced in conjunction with this project. ACCI is in the process of raising the manholes and water valves so please be aware of these structures and use extreme caution when traveling in these areas. The start date on the resurfacing has not been announced as of yet but should be coming up very soon. Waterline Replacement Projects Update Joyce Backhoe Service Inc. began cutting pavement across West Avenue just south of the intersection with Central Avenue on May 20, with a subcontractor cutting pavement along the west side of West Avenue for part of the route of the new water main. A wet tap was made two days later on the existing 6-inch diameter water main, with a short section of pipe installed to get just past the centerline of the street. Two 45-degree bends and a couple partial joints of pipe were installed the next day to get to the normal route for the new main at about 1.5 feet east of the concrete walk. Installation of the new 6-inch diameter ductile iron pipe was completed June 7 with the installation of a fire

Fox Sightings Rise as Kit-Rearing Season Peaks

Seeing foxes during the day recently? If so, it is likely because kit-rearing season is peaking. Young foxes, called kits or pups, are maturing and spending more time outside of the den. For homeowners and others concerned about foxes and their kits being too close for comfort, biologists with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission advise them to remove all food attractants from around a home and to use non-lethal deterrents to encourage foxes to leave on their own. “This time of year people are seeing families of foxes roaming around, exploring their environment,” said Falyn Owens, the Commission’s extension biologist. “And while seeing foxes, even during the daytime, is usually no cause for concern, we understand that most people don’t necessarily want a family of foxes living so close to them.” Owens recommends the following tips to keep foxes from making a home near your home: Never intentionally feed foxes; doing so rewards them for coming near humans. This can lead to habituation, where a wild animal loses its natural fear of humans, and in some cases may become bold or aggressive. Feed pets indoors or remove all food and dishes when your pet is finished eating outside. Foxes and other wildlife are attracted to pet food left outdoors. Secure garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep bird-feeder areas clean and use bird feeders that keep seed off the ground. Clear fallen fruit

from around trees. Close off crawl spaces under sheds, porches, decks, and homes so foxes, and other wildlife, can’t use those areas for resting or raising young. Install fox-proof fencing. It is illegal to relocate foxes in North Carolina, in part to prevent the unintentional spread of diseases. Homeowners should try non-lethal deterrents to make foxes uncomfortable enough to want to leave on their own. Another suggestion is to play a radio on a talk show station, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the foxes are gone. “Yelling, banging pots or using other noise-making devices, such as airhorns and whistles, may be enough to scare foxes away,” Owens said. Walk pets on a leash, and teach children to enjoy wildlife from a safe distance. North Carolina is home to two species of foxes: the gray fox and the red fox. The gray fox is the state’s only native fox species; red foxes were originally imported from Europe. They are both relatively small canids, standing between 12 to 16 inches high at the shoulder and weighing between 7 to 15 pounds – much smaller than an averagesize Labrador Retriever. For questions visit ncwildlife.org/ Have-A-Problem or call the Commission’s N.C. Wildlife Helpline toll-free at 866-318-2401. Call center is open Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Public Utilities Area Wide Optimization Program Award – Robert A. Harris Water Filtration Plant Since 1998, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has developed several new regulations to help reduce the risk of biological contamination while limiting the risk from disinfecting chemicals and their byproducts. The Area Wide Optimization Program (AWOP) was developed to help water systems meet regulations that are more stringent and achieve higher levels of water quality. Achieving this goal means that the water’s turbidity levels were less than one third of the allowable limits 95 percent of the time. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or haziness of water caused by individual particles that can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Microbes are microscopic particles that occur naturally, but can potentially include harmful bacteria and viruses. Target turbidity levels are 0.1 ntu (nephelometric turbidity unit), well below the regulatory limit of 0.3 ntu. Water treatment plants that consistently attain such a low level of turbidity achieve significant water quality benefits by removing particles that may harbor microbial contaminants. AWOP Awards are given each year to water systems that demonstrate outstanding turbidity removal, a key test of drinking water quality. While all drinking water systems have to meet strict state and federal drinking water standards, the systems that achieve this award met performance goals that are

JULY 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 33 H

Rockingham Promise brings RCC courses to high school students Local high school students have an opportunity to take college courses on their own campus, and can then qualify for tuition-free scholarships at Rockingham Community College. Rockingham Promise is a collaboration between RCC and Rockingham County Schools, and is an innovative and progressive plan to increase access to college courses, create

opportunities for students to pursue certificate programs at RCC, and to enable them to obtain higher education and other skills to better prepare for career and college opportunities. And thanks to a $1,077,271 grant from the Reidsville Area Foundation – plus a combined commitment of $1,044,000 from RCC and RCS – the collaboration has become a reality for its first four years. Enrollment and

funds sought from the RCC Foundation and local businesses and industry will sustain the program in its fifth year and beyond. Rockingham Promise is a comprehensive program of career coaching, dual enrollment courses taught by RCC faculty on high school campuses, transportation for Reidsville High School and Rockingham County High Schools to the RCC cam-

pus, assistance with textbooks, and, over the next four years, 240 tuition-free scholarships to RCC for local students. “We’re expanding opportunities for students to take college courses, we’re breaking down barriers that have existed for a long time by taking our classes out to the public schools and teaching courses on site,” said Dr. Mark Kinlaw, RCC president.

He said the college can renovate and build facilities, but that doesn’t mean students will enroll; however, Rockingham Promise is a big incentive to “attract students and open doors for them to come to college, get trained, and hopefully enter the workforce.” Kinlaw acknowledged that some students will use the col-

school on which they make a grade of C or higher. Once at RCC, tuition-free assistance may continue as long as the student stays in good academic standing and maintains a 2.0 GPA. Scholarship amounts are awarded for the cost of tuition and mandatory fees that are not met by financial aid and other scholarships. In addition to providing instruction, RCC will fund a career coach who will spend one day per week at each high school. Rockingham County Schools is providing transportation for RHS and RCHS to the college. In January 2012, RCC began offering CCP, a program that gives qualified students the opportunity to pursue transfer and career technical education pathways, tuition-free, while they are in high school. However, barriers existed due to the high school students not having transportation to RCC, and not being able to afford the textbooks. Now, Rockingham Promise has removed those barriers, and puts the CCP opportunity in front of the students in a more visible manner, creating a pipeline for students to transition from high school to college.

lege credits they earn during high school to enroll in four-year colleges or universities. “That’s okay too, because what we’re doing is making them more competitive, so they can go out and pursue their dreams,” he said. Initial courses being offered include mathematics, Spanish, music appreciation, public speaking, and computer science. Additional courses will be offered and determined according to demand and faculty availability. Phlebotomy will be offered on the RCC campus in the third and fourth years of the project. To be eligible to enroll in Rockingham Promise courses, a high school student must have an unweighted GPA of 2.8 or above, or obtain an appropriate assessment score on a placement test such as PSAT, SAT, PreACT, ACT, NC DAP or RISE. To be eligible for a college scholarship to RCC, a student must maintain that same GPA; meet RCC’s entrance requirements; and take a minimum of three College and Career Promise (CCP) courses in high

“Any time that we can expose children to opportunities that are beyond high school, it really gets them thinking beyond their sphere of influence they have right now,” said Dr. Rodney Shotwell, superintendent of Rockingham County Schools. “When we come back seven years from now, and we look at the progress that we’ve made, the impact that we’ve made on families in Rockingham County, that’s something you can’t lay a finger on. It’s going to be so huge, the impact so great.” In its first year, courses will be offered at Reidsville High School – starting this fall. Initial courses being include mathematics, Spanish, music appreciation, public speaking, and computer science. Additional courses will be offered and determined according to demand and faculty availability. Phlebotomy will be offered on the RCC campus in the third and fourth years of the project. RCC is prepared to support the existing academy structure at each high school through Rockingham Promise: • Reidsville High: As a World International Baccalaureate School, RCC courses at RHS will supplement the IB Program

where feasible. • Rockingham County High: With a Public Safety Academy at the RCHS, RCC will offer criminal justice courses on the college campus, which will lead to an associate’s degree in criminal justice technology. • McMichael High: DMHS’s STEM Academy leads RCC to offer courses leading to a certificate in web technologies, such as web programming, web design, and internet marketing and analytics. The courses will lead to an associate’s degree in information technology. • Morehead High: With a Health Science Academy a MHS, RCC plans to teach human anatomy and physiology, and introduction to chemistry. While the Reidsville Area Foundation grant helps with program costs for the first four years, Rockingham Promise will continue beyond that. RCC will cover faculty costs through revenue generated by enrollment. The college will seek funding assistance from the RCC Foundation, and local businesses and industries. Joy Toms, lead high school counselor for Rockingham County Schools, said Rockingham Promise offers

students the opportunity to even the playing field. “We’ve talked about it for the last several years, some of the obstacles … what are some of the things in the way of our students being able to fully succeed, fully reach their potential,” she said. “We are answering those questions today, with action. … We are hoping this will be really life-changing for many of our students. What’s happening in our schools impacts everything around us in our community.” Jen Nixon, executive director of the Reidsville Area Foundation, said her organization is committed to looking at disparities in the community, and addressing them. “We’re thrilled to be funding partners on this project, which will increase the number of high school students taking college courses, increase the number of first-time enrollments, and open up new avenues for our students who are ready to enter adulthood equipped for success,” she said. “We will all benefit from this initiative, as individuals, as students, as institutions, and as a community.”

From the Desks of Eden City Hall EPA and NC Water Infrastructure for our grant and loan funding. The Mebane Bridge digestion improvements project has received all of the necessary approvals and the contractor will begin construction of this project in the near future. This is the first of the remediation projects and opens the door for the city to begin drawing reimbursements from grant and loan funding for engineering work completed to date. The remaining projects of the remediation plan will bid in sequence between June and September. All projects in the remediation plan should be approved and ready to begin by January 1, 2020.

Southern Virginia Mega Site at Berry Hill Haymes Brothers Inc. of Chatham, VA won the bid to install the City of Eden water line to the VA state line. They were the lowest of the three firms who bid on the project. This line will provide most of the water to this industrial park. The bid was roughly $1.5 million under the engineering firm estimate for the construction portion of this project. Haymes Brothers is currently extending the City of Eden sewer line from the VA state line to the Mega Park. We hope to have this project underway by July with construction expected to take about 18 months to complete.
