Notice to the Citizens, I would like to remind everyone that census forms will be mailed soon. US law requires taking a census and the number of people counted in a district determines our representation in the federal government. Please fill out your form and return it as soon as possible. That way no one will personally call on you and it will save money. So please look for the census form, fill it out and send it back in the postage-paid envelope. Forrest Bray

To the Citizens, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the love, prayers and support that you have shown to my family and me at this time. We have truly been blessed. I am grateful to every person that helped organize and participated in my fundraiser. The turn out was beyond belief. The love and support that you have shown me is truly amazing. I will be grateful to each of you for the rest of my life for your generosity. Chrissy read a poem at the beginning of the fundraiser, which I believe speaks volumes. It states that cancer is so limited that it cannot cripple love, shatter hope, corrode faith, eat away peace, destroy confidence, kill friendship, shut out memories, silence courage, reduce eternal life or quench the Spirit. When I was younger I didn’t think I could bear the mention of cancer directed at Rick, the boys or myself. But, through God’s love when the time did come I found the strength that I needed and the courage not to back down from the fight but to meet it head on. This is not something I would have chosen for my life but God’s wisdom is greater than mine. I have learned what most cancer patients know. The grass is actually greener on the other side of the “C” word. The sun does shine brighter, and life takes on a whole new meaning. I’m not any better, stronger or more determined than any other person that has been given the diagnosis of cancer. I just know that God has a reason for everything and while I hope that my family and friends can accept that at least I know I have. Each cancer patient has their own support group sending him or her their love and prayers. I am thankful that I have each one of you as part of my support group. I still don’t feel that I am truly worthy of what took place at the fundraiser but I will be eternally grateful. Just always remember . . . Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass - It’s about learning to dance in the rain. May God bless you and always be with you. Love Gail Willis (Micah 6:8)

To My Readers, Eden’s Own / Rockingham County Star is a vehicle with which to inform the public of facts, events, community happenings, and self help information to improve the quality of life in our county. Articles should inform, enlighten, teach and cause introspection. You should take responsibility to form your own views. It should not be a platform for political mud slinging, personal vendettas or self aggrandizement. Any items submitted are subject to editing. It is at the publishers discretion as to whether any item or advertisement will be accepted. Some items may be omitted simply because of lack of space. Most understand that you can’t please everyone all the time, and there are some you can never please. I began this paper to bring light to subjects long overlooked, not to add to the darkness which already overtakes us on T.V. radio, magazines and the internet.
May you all be blessed, Lisa Doss, publisher

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life H EALT H P ROMOTIONS A N D R OCKINGHAM C O U N T Y W ELLNESS P R O G R A M FO C U S E S O N E ATING S M A RT, MOVING M O R E WENTWORTH - Poor nutrition and lack of physical activity is taking a significant toll on the health of the citizens in our communities. Prevention is the single most important step a person can take towards good health. Not only does poor health behaviors increase the prevalence of chronic disease and decrease quality of life, but also creates costly healthcare expense, that is felt by all. It has been estimated that $11.1 billion dollars is spent each year on medical and lost productivity costs in NC due to poor nutrition, overweight and obesity, and physical inactivity. Many chronic diseases are preventable by simply “eating smart” and “moving more”. In an effort to support public health’s attempt to reduce obesity, increase physical activity, improve nutrition and decrease smoking, the Rockingham County Wellness program has adopted policy changes to increase physical activity and healthy eating among employees. Eat Smart, Move More is a statewide health initiative that promotes increased opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity wherever people live, learn, earn, play and pray. The Health Promotion program, which is a part of the Rockingham County Department of Public Health, NC Department of Health and Human Services, and NC Division of Public Health’s Physical Activity and Nutrition Branch, works with various segments of the population, including members of the faith community, area businesses, and schools providing technical support for programs conducive to healthier lifestyle changes. The Rockingham County Wellness Committee and Health Promotion Program are collaborating to develop initiatives where employees can participate in group activities after work or during lunch breaks. As a result, an exercise program called Turbo Jam was started in August 2009. Classes are offered on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:15 pm-6:15 pm. Turbo Jam combines dance and martial arts moves that strengthen specific muscle groups. Participants surveyed as a response to Turbo Jam, revealed they had experienced weight loss, more restful sleep, and reduced stress. Also, in January 2010 a bowling league was started as another wellness initiative to increase physical activity. The groups bowl every Tuesday. Currently surveys are being done to poll employees for interest in other activities. The County Wellness program

Continued from Page 4 The County Wellness program supports a healthy eating policy by providing access to healthier food choices during meetings and other events. The Body Treats snack bar, sponsored by the Health Promotion Program, is a healthy food option program which provides healthier snack options than most vending machines. Free fruit is used as an incentive to encourage participation in the program. Over 75 monthly visits have been recorded for use of the snack bar. The Body Treats program has been replicated throughout the county and now more agencies are offering healthier snack options for their employees.

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - at 6:00 pm Jane passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die.. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke, totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized; diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently). (i.e. It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue... If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

Cost is $25 and covers materials and lunch. The deadline for registering is April 14.

COMMUNITY RESOURCE CONNECTIONS EXPANDS IN COUNTY Guilford County Department of Social Services Division of Aging and Adult Services, the Joy A. Shabazz Center for Independent Living and Senior Resources of Guilford announce through formal agreements they have expanded their collaborative partnership designed to streamline access to long term services and supports for area citizens of Rockingham County that are aging or living with disabilities. The partnership is called Piedmont Triad Community Resource Connections for Aging and Disabilities (PTCRC) and is a multi county network of providers where consumers have access to comprehensive information about and can obtain assistance with accessing the complete range of options for long-term services and supports in North Carolina – such as help with determining which Medicare Part D plan best fits a consumer’s needs; how to apply for public benefits; how to access community based services, such as Mobile Meals, long-term futures planning, and possible employment options. The goal of the project is being realized through these formal linkages between local service providers and older adults and their caregivers as well as adults with disabilities. Additional agencies collaborating through the CRC are: Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County, HELP Inc. Center Against Violence, Adult Center for Enrichment, Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, Industries of the Blind, Inc. and Piedmont Triad Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging. These health and human service organizations will be able to share appropriate information about clients in order to facilitate the consumers’ access to programs or services. This means folks will not have to tell and retell their story or give information multiple times in order to obtain services. “It is important that all citizens have access to information which helps them navigate a complex service delivery system; it is imperative that aging and disabled adults can find the help they need in an easy and immediate manner. The Community Resource Connection ‘initiative’ will solve both issues,” said Kimberly Dawkins Berry, Director of PTCOG Area Agency on Aging. “I applaud the collaboration of the Guilford County agencies who are making this a reality.” For information and assistance about long term service and support options you may contact ADTS, 336-349-2343 or Joy A. Shabazz Center, 336-272-0501. More information about the Piedmont Triad Community Resource Connections for Aging and Disabilities Program is available by contacting Lorrie Z. Roth, 336641-4680, or email: lroth@co.guilford.nc.us.

CHUNK Chunk is a 7 month old Beagle mix. He is neutered and current on his rabies shot. Chunk is a little shy until he gets to know you. But once he does, he has lots of love and licks to share. Chunk needs a home to give him the love and attention he deserves. If you are interested in adopting Chunk or seeing any other animals available for adoption, please visit the Rockingham County Humane Society at 205 Boone Road in Eden, NC. Our adoption fee is $100 for puppies and dogs and $65 for kittens and cats. The adoption fee includes spaying and neutering, shots, and de-worming for all animals. The Rockingham County Humane Society is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 11-4.
Students at Central Elementary in Eden, NC collected pennies (and other spare change) to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during the month of February. After three weeks of students bringing their spare change to school, the total amount of money raised was $1,356.75. The campus set a goal of raising $1,200.00, so the students surely exceeded the goal! The staff at Central Elementary is very proud of the students’ efforts to give selflessly. It appears that the students really understood the mission of the Society and what the money is used for. Leukemia is the leading cause of cancer death among children. An estimated 785,000 Americans have blood cancers, and every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed. Since 1992, millions of dollars has been raised in pennies and other spare change by more than 12 million elementary, middle, and high school students nationwide. The mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is: Cure leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and Improve the quality of life of patients and their families. For information regarding local programs and services of the Western North Carolina Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, call (800) 888-9934, or visit our website at www.lls.org/nc

WOMAN CONVICTED OF CHILD ABUSE Wentworth - A jury found 36 year old Angela Dale Southern of Mayodan guilty of Felony Child Abuse during the week of March 1, 2010, in Rockingham County Superior Court. Sentencing in the case was continued to March 8, 2010, when Judge Richard Stone ordered that she serve 6 months in prison, suspending the balance of the 23-28 month sentence. She will be on probation for a period of two years after he release from custody. Southern was also ordered to complete parenting classes, and attend a child abuser treatment program. In September, 2008, officers with the Mayodan Police Department investigated an allegation of child abuse in which a six year old girl was beaten by a caretaker. The female child suffered serious physical injury when Southern struck her in the head multiple times with her fists and hands. The six year old victim recovered from her injuries and is doing well.

HOMEMADE MUSIC Rockingham Community College - February 26, 2010 In this day of fast food and pre-packaged products, anything homemade is usually a treat. This was especially true of “Homemade Music” February 26 at RCC. If you were not there, I hope you will make an effort to attend next year. This is a traditional fundraiser for Rockingham Habitat for Humanity and a fun evening. All talent is local and they perform at no charge. Technical assistance and work on developing and printing programs are also donated. Attendance is free, with a suggested donation to Habitat. This year the performances ranged from brass bands to bluegrass, vocals and instrumental, young and older. Many of the performers have ties to RCC, either as employees, students, their relatives, or former employees and students. Hearing performances by the younger generation and witnessing their amazing talent was a special treat. Thanks to all who had a part in producing Homemade Music and all the talented performers. It was a successful fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, with the proceeds going toward getting families out of substandard housing and into homes of their own. Rockingham County Commissioners Meeting March 12, 2010 The public comment period was first on the agenda. Each person who signs up to speak is allowed three minutes and they were requested to observe the time limitation. Some overzeal-

ous speakers go over the limit and it happened again this meeting. Five speakers were concerned about the waste on the Horse Park of the South and other projects. It seems that the commissioners have one story about the Horse Park and the “Will of the People” has another. It is hard to sort out the truth with different version of what has happened and is happening. Let’s hope that some day the truth will prevail. Meanwhile, let’s can this project until the economy improves or some organization comes up with money to build the Park. With cost doubling, this should be an easy decision. A discussion followed about the mix-up on a meeting between the “Will of the People” and the

commissioners. Harold Bass proposed a program that might work. Quarterly meetings will be held in Madison, Eden and Reidsville; the meetings will be held to two hours. County citizens can ask questions and the commissioners, county manager and staff will answer. Again, each person will be limited to the three minutes time period. Remember, this is a question and answer session, not an oratory show. Budget meetings start this month. This will be a real arduous process with the local economy in its current shape. We can only hope that common sense and cool heads prevail.

For The Fun Of It THE "NORTH"
AND THE
"SOUTH" [CLEARLY
EXPLAINED AT LAST!]
The North has Bloomingdale's; the South has Dollar General. The North has coffee houses; the South has Waffle Houses.
WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
The North has dating services; the South has family reunions. The North has switchblade knives; the South has .45's. The North has double last names; the South has double first names. The North has Indy car races; The South has stock car races. North has Cream of Wheat; the South has grits. The North has green salads; the South has collard greens . The North has lobsters; the South has crawfish .
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
The North has the rust belt; the South has the Bible Belt . FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . ..... In the South: If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store... Do not buy food at this store. Remember, 'Y'all' is singular, 'all y'all' is plural, and 'all y'all's' is plural possessive. Get used to hearing 'You ain't from round here, are ya?' Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it. Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,' truck or 'big'ol' boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper. Be advised that 'He needed killin..' is a valid defense here. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, 'Hey, y'all watch this,' you should stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there. Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim. In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway. AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners... After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we ain't gonna call'em biscuits. Send this to four people that ain't related to you, and I reckon your life will turn into a country music song 'fore you know it. Your kin would get a kick out of it too!
WEDDING WORRIES Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever! A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother! Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused... ''Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it,'' she replied. Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ''Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.'' A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it." Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.''
GEORGE This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things. He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all." Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
MEASURING
A city slicker came upon two country folk balancing a long piece of lumber vertically on the ground, while a third fellow with a measuring tape climbed up on the lumber. “What are you doing?”, asked the urbanite. “We are trying to measure this piece of wood,” replied the country cousin. “Why not lay it down and measure it?,” asked the city fellow. Nope,” replied the country boy. “That won’t do it! We want the height, not the length!”

The Dan River Basin Association's First Saturday Outing on April 3, 2010 will explore a 7-mile section of the Dan River from Pine Hall to Madison, NC. Mark Bishopric, co-owner of Three Rivers Outfitters and the Association's treasurer, will coordinate the trip. Participants are asked to meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Pine Hall Bridge on Pine Hall Road, Route 1908 (GPS coordinates: 36.319136, -80.049992) to unload boats and gear and set the shuttle. Boat rentals and shuttle will be provided by Three Rivers Outfitters, 336-627-6215 or www.3-r-o.com. "When DRBA began First Saturday Outings in 2002, we planned to float every familyfriendly part of the river," says founding member Lindley Butler. "Now, eight year later, I'm looking forward to having DRBA float this section for the first time." Along the way the river zigzags across the Stokes/ Rockingham County line three times, creating two large horseshoe-shaped bends, known as "bents." The first of these was called "Pea's Bent" and "Neal's Bent" and now is simply "The Bent." Remnants of past river uses are found in remains of Amerindian fish dams, veeshaped structures used by both native and European inhabitants to collect fish on their great annual spawning migrations that ended when large dams were constructed downriver in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Some of these fish dams were widened to accommodate batteaux, the long, narrow, flatbottomed wooden boats that carried cargo on the river throughout the nineteenth century. One such structure is Carter's Fish Dam, now a pair of wing dams with a 10-foot-wide channel located near the end of Carter's Shoal at the first "bent." Many of the navigation structures are hidden beneath sand and water backed up about three miles by the Lindsay Bridge Dam, where the float will conclude. About a mile before the dam, some of the rocks at Cross Rock Shoal and Fish Dam may be above water, with an opening
on river right for easy passage. Paralleling the river on the left is the Norfolk Southern Railroad, a reminder of the technology that put the batteaux out of business over a century ago and ended the crucial role of the rivers in commercial development of the region. Some of today's trains transport coal to Duke Energy's Belews Creek Steam Station, whose cooling reservoir was formed by damming Belews Creek in 1973. The creek enters on river right about a mile into the trip. Take-out will be at the portage at Lindsay Bridge Dam, also known as Pine Hall Brick Company Dam for the large brick plant on river left. The company manufactures face brick, pavers and special shape brick. According to the "Insider's Guide to the Dan River," published by the Association, "Brick manufacturing is the third largest mining industry in North Carolina, and the state leads the nation in brick production." Participants in the outing are asked to meet at 10:00 at the Pine Hall Bridge in the town of Pine Hall. They should arrange to supply boat, paddles, life jackets, water and lunch; wear watershedding artificial fabric or wool (not cotton, and certainly not blue jeans); and provide a back-up change of clothing. All participants will sign a waiver. To reach Pine Hall, travel on US 311 between Madison and Walnut Cove, NC. Turn south on Rt. 1908, Pine Hall Road, and drive about 1 mile to the bridge. Outings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without charge. For more information

ANNOUNCES
COUNTY
CITIZENS
HAVE CASH OR STOCKS OWED TO THEM
Rep. Nelson Cole would like you to watch in the next Eden’s Own Journal for a continued listing of Rockingham County citizens who have cash or stocks waiting for them with the state. There is approximately $380,000 in stocks and cash, which is owed to over 1400 people in Rockingham County alone. The state does not put forth an extensive effort to find these persons or businesses. Starting in the January 15th issue names will be listed so that you can see if you or someone you know are on it. The names will be listed with the last known town they were located in. Contact the call center at (919) 508-1000 Unfortunately, there is not a toll free number available. In most cases, individuals had moved, so there would need to be proof of the former address, as well as the social security number. In the case of a death , there would need to be a death certificate and a form from the clerk of court. For stocks, individuals will be sent a form to complete. See more in our next issue...
