On May 2, a nice spring Sunday afternoon, Jeff and Jo-Lynn Overby were fishing on the Dan River near the Draper section of Eden. Jeff cast his line and snagged what appeared to be a muddy stick. His wife, JoLynn, noticed that it had a peculiar end and kept it in the boat.

That evening, the Overbys removed the mud to reveal a fourfoot-long wooden shaft tipped with a metal point. Suspecting that the artifact might have some relationship to the historic batteaux, Jeff called the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA).

Mark Bishopric of Three Rivers Outfitters, which owns and once operated the batteau replica, invited Jeff to bring the artifact to DRBA. At first sight, Mark said, “I think this is part of a batteau pole.” Poles were used by the boatmen to propel the heavy craft on the river.

Historian Dr. Lindley Butler, who has been studying batteau navigation for

decades, confirmed the identification.

He commented, “The last known batteau on the upper Dan River This rare section of a batteau pole, found near Eden by a local couple, Jeff and Jo-Lynn was around 1900, Overby, will eventually be displayed at the so that pole has Eden Historical Museum. been waiting in the river at least 110 a permanent batteau exhibit and years, and probably longer, for some- Museum Director Melissa Whitten one to find it.

H O L L A N D SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED AT RCC

Retired Rockingham Community College library assistant, Betty Holland of Reidsville, has established the Betty P. and William G. Holland Scholarship through the RCC Foundation.

As a library assistant for over 36 years, Holland worked closely with students and saw first-hand what access to education beyond high school could do for an individual. Throughout her 42 years of marriage, she also understood and appreciated her husband’s generous nature. The couple was known to quietly help those who were in financial need. That generosity of spirit and belief in the power of education were cornerstones in the establishment of a scholarship to benefit RCC students. “I see this scholarship as a way to continue my and my late husband’s care and concern for others,” said Holland.

The Holland Scholarship will be awarded to students who graduate from a Rockingham County high school, demonstrate financial need, have a 3.0 grade point average, and are enrolled in a health sciences program at RCC. Scholarships are renewable if the recipient maintains a 3.0 grade point average and makes satisfactory academic progress.

To apply for the scholarship, contact the RCC Student Financial Aid Office.

Gifts made to the scholarship are accepted through the RCC Foundation Office.

For more information contact the RCC Foundation at 342-4261, Ext. 2201.

Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet hospital demand.

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to give blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate. For more information contact the Rockingham County Chapter of the American Red Cross at 336-3493434 or redcrossnet.org or American Red Cross, Reidsville.

Dick’s Drive-In in Eden has donated $500.00 to the American Red Cross Food Pantry! Terry & David Wood of Dick’s Drive-In have issued a challenge to all the other businesses in the Rockingham County area to meet their challenge, and give to Red Cross Pantry.

The Food Pantry is running very low on food at this time. The area schools have let out for the summer, and children that are used to eating breakfast and lunch at school, will need to eat those meals at home. Many parents in this area do not have the means to provide Ada Wells accepts the $500 check from Dick’s Drive-In’s David Wood.

Continued from Page 1 and state-wide significance as well. It will be the highlight of our collection.”

Also fortuitous was the batteau recovery project earlier this month coordinated by Dr. Butler that brought the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) to Eden.

An artifact such as this that has been under water for over a century must be properly conserved, or it will eventually become a pile of wood fragments and rust.

Following UAB advice, the pole was reimmersed in water in a tray that Bishopric improvised. As current chair of the Rockingham County Museum and Archives, Butler arranged for the UAB to undertake conservation at their laboratory at Fort Fisher.

Conservator Nathan Henry described the lengthy process as “replacing the water in the wooden shaft with a chemical preservative—a process that will take at least a year.”

The state archaeologists want to do exactly what the Overbys want. When it is ready, the batteau pole will come home to the Eden Historical Museum where it

will be featured in the permanent batteau exhibit.

The Overbys can be proud that they recognized the importance of their discovery. Richard Lawrence, head of the UAB, commented, “This is a rare and important find. We’re really glad that the Overbys had the foresight to recognize the pole as an artifact and get it to the right people.”

Thanks to Jeff and Jo-Lynn Overby, their children and grandchildren and generations to come will know more about a nearly forgotten story of the Dan River and its batteaumen.

Mail-order is bad healthcare. It is important for every patient to have a personal relationship with their local pharmacist, to ask questions and better understood medication side effects, as well as have someone to ask those important health care questions. You certainly do not have that ability with your postman.

Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers make more money if they can force you into mail-order. Medications are given to you by your doctor to improve your healthcare and quality of health.

You need to access to your healthcare and quality of health. You also need access to cross check the new medications with other medications you already take to guard against interactions. Your postman can’t do this either.

If you are being told you have to use mail-order and are being discriminated against, call Wayne Goodwin, the Commissioner of Insurance (919-807-6750) an tell him you want your rights protected and you want to get your medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

It is time to STOP forced mail-order prescriptions- “JUST SAY NO!!”

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

R A K E S T R AW RETIRES F R O M

RCC

BOARD

WENTWORTH – Garland Rakestraw’s long history with Rockingham Community College began with a meeting in 1964.

“There was an article in the (former) Leaksville News asking people interested in a community to Rakestraw college attend a meeting scheduled at one of the schools,” said Rakestraw.

Although he can’t remember where the meeting was held, he attended, recalling that the intent was to organize and lobby the legislature for a community college in Rockingham County.”

Rakestraw, a graduate of Guilford College with a degree in economics and owner of Rakestraw Farm Equipment in Stoneville, supported the idea but did not take part in the lobby efforts. But in 1978, he began an active volunteer role with the college that is ending with his retirement from the RCC Board of Trustees effective June 30. He will be replaced by Madison resident, Janice R. Tate.

In 1978, Rakestraw began serving on the newly formed RCC Foundation. For the next 22 years he served on various foundation committees and as its president from 1988-89. It was during his presidency that current director, Gaye Clifton, was hired. In 1990, he began serving on the RCC Board of Trustees. He was serving as chair in 1996 when current RCC President, Dr. Robert Keys, was hired.

Rakestraw has been a board member as the college has expanded, adding the Owens Human Services building, which houses several health science programs, and the Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center, which houses the myriad Community and Workforce Education Division programs.

He believed so much in the college, two of his three children attended before transferring to Elon College (now university).

“I doubt that you could find anyone more loyal to this college than Garland Rakestraw,” said Keys. “He has given unfailing support and twenty years of concrete advice. I appreciate his dedication and years of service.”

Rakestraw said he has enjoyed his various roles at RCC. “I have gotten much more out of it than I have put into it. It has been a pleasure.”

NOMINATED F O R EXCELLENCE WENTWORTH – Being nominated for the 2009-10 Excellence in Teaching award for Rockingham Community College holds special meaning for biology associate professor, Dr. Lori French.

“My students got together and, as one, wrote the nomination. That means the world,” said French.

As the college’s nominee, French was recognized at graduation. In addition, she will be given the opportunity to attend the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development International Conference on Teaching Excellence held each spring in Austin, Texas where nominees are awarded the NISOD Excellence Award in Teaching.

In their nomination, the students said, “…we declare that Dr. French has had a major impact on all of our lives.”

That impact starts in the classroom.

“Many people come with a fear of biology or science in general,” said French.

Therefore, she works hard to make concepts easier to understand by keeping students engaged in the lessons using various learning strategies as

“Dr. French once used two of the manliest guys in class to demonstrate how an enzyme works,” said student Whitney Chatham.

“One was the enzyme and one was the substrate.” Standing in front of the class, “They awkwardly hugged to demonstrate how an enzyme surrounds a substrate. Needless to say, the whole class was in stitches laughing.”

French smiled. “When they thought of enzymes and substrates after that, they had a visual to compliment the text.”

But her nomination encompassed more than a teaching style her students termed “innovative” and “motivating.” She was someone they talked to about their dreams and goals, their difficulties and problems. In their nomination letter they said she pushes individuals to do their best.

French joined the RCC faculty in 2000 and serves as science department

C O U N T Y H EALT H O FFICIALS E N C O U R A G E H EALTHY S WIMMING B E H AVIORS Rockingham County health officials are reminding swimmers to follow a few safety tips to prevent getting sick this summer.

“Summer is a fantastic time to lounge by the pool but a few basic precautions may just prevent you from becoming sick,” said Glenn Martin, Rockingham County health director. “Infectious agents from animals or on swimmers’ bodies can end up in the water and make other people sick. It is important to adopt healthy swimming behaviors to prevent illnesses associated with recreational swimming venues.”

Rockingham County Department of Public Health would like to offer seven key steps to avoid water-borne illnesses this summer.

1. Do not swim or allow children to swim if you or they have diarrhea.

2. Do not swallow pool/river/ocean water or get it in your mouth.

3. Everyone should shower before swimming.

4. Wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers.

5. Children should wear tight-fitting swim diapers, and diapers should be checked before entering the water.

6. Take children on bathroom breaks.

7. Change children’s diapers often and in a bathroom, not at the poolside.

Following simple health guidelines like good hygiene and avoiding getting water in one’s mouth can help protect swimmers from a variety of infectious illnesses, and if one does become ill, ensure that they get prompt medical attention.

Although healthy swimmers can get sick from recreational water illnesses, or RWIs, the young and elderly, and persons with a weakened immune system, as well as pregnant women and diabetics, are especially at risk. State and local health officials have investigated numerous cases of RWI caused by Cryptosporidium, a chlorineresistant parasite primarily associated with treated recreational water venues such as pools and water parks. It also can be found in natural bodies of water, soil, food or on surfaces that have been contaminated with infected human or animal feces.

Although cryptosporidiosis usually causes only mild gastroenteritis in healthy persons, it may cause serious illness in those with compromised immune systems. This parasite is able to survive and remain infectious for long periods of time, even in chlorinated pools.

Water contamination by sewage or storm-water runoff also can also cause problems. People also have an increased risk of becoming sick from swimming in natural waters in both coastal and inland areas, especially in areas downstream from sewage treatment facilities and in all areas after storm events. Storm events are associated with increased runoff from cities as well as forests, farms and pasture lands, which can be sources of Cryptosporidium, fecal bacteria and viruses known to cause human illness.

For more information about Recreational Water Illness Prevention Week and healthy swimming, visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website at: www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming. For North Carolina specific information, visit www.deh.enr.state.nc.us/ehs/pti_healthyswimming.htm, or contact the N.C. Division of Environmental Health at (919) 733-2884.

IC E D TE A A N D R EADING —Rockingham County Organization Recommends Volunteering to Help Fellow Community Members Learn to Read— This summer, as you put your feet up, grab a cold glass of iced tea, and begin to read your favorite book, think about those around you who cannot do this.

In Rockingham County, about 19,750 people age 25 and over do not have a high-school diploma or GED certificate.

About 17,480 people age 16 and over fall into NALS (National Adult Literacy Survey) Level 1 (lowest of 5 levels). Think about it: The number of people who do not read or do not read well is larger than the total population of Eden or Reidsville, the county’s two largest cities. You can help.

The Rockingham County Literacy Project will hold free Adult Literacy Tutor Training classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 13, 15, 20, and 22, 1:30-4:30 p.m., at its 705-A Washington Street, Eden office.

Prospective tutors should plan to attend all four classes and may contact Jean at 336-627-0007 or jkinyon@rcliteracyproject.org to pre-register.

Nationwide, one in seven adults cannot read, write or do math above an elementary-school level. The Rockingham County Literacy Project is part of a national network of literacy organizations offering critical education programs that help American adults learn to read and write.

Volunteers in the program help teach adults basic literacy, GED preparation, math, and English as a second language.

“We exist through the help of dedicated community volunteers,” said Jean Light Kinyon, Executive Director of the Rockingham County Literacy Project. “We match trained volunteers with adults so they can work together to continue building the students’ reading, writing, math, or language skills. It is a longer-term commitment than a one-time volunteer project, but the benefits to both people and to the community are invaluable.”

Visit www.rcliteracyproject.org for more information on becoming involved with the Literacy Project.

FO U R C O U N T Y S TUDENTS A CEIVE 13 Y E A R S O F P ERFECT A TTENDANCE Rockingham County, NC – Five Rockingham County Schools’ high school seniors had perfect attendance records for their entire school career – kindergarten through twelfth grade. Mallori McKinlay and Ashley Whitley, of McMichael High School, Rachel Corcoran, of Morehead High School, and Meredith Citty and Leah Scarver, of Reidsville High School, all graduated having 13 years of perfect attendance. The students were recognized by the RCS Board of Education, on June 14, 2010.

C HARLIE P O O L E M USIC FESTIVA L C ONTEST W INNERS The fifteenth presentation of Eden’s Charlie Poole Music Festival is over. The banjos fall silent, the fiddles have been put in their cases, and the campers reluctantly pull up stakes to go home. They carry with them memories of energetic jamming sessions, often way into the warm summer night, the mounting excitement of the competitions, and the sparkling, lively tone of the concert Friday night and the intervals on Saturday.

One final treat on Sunday morning was the interesting conversation between Dr. Bill Malone, the acknowledged expert on the history and development of country music and author of the book that is often used as a textbook in college courses on the subject, and Hank Sapoznik, producer of the definitive four CD box set setting forth Charlie Poole’s role in the shaping of American vernacular music. An attentive audience sat enthralled by Dr. Malone’s account of his role in the transformation of old time and country music into a subject of serious academic consideration.

Among the major attractions of the festival is the generous $5000 prize list. The $500 Grand Prize is awarded for the most expert demonstration of old-time 3-finger banjo playing --the Charlie Poole Festival is the only festival that offers this particular competition. The many other categories offer cash and ribbons, and a special effort is made to recognize young people so as to encourage a new generation of players.

Athletes now have a place to go to talk with each other; to log on at communicate with each other, coaches and industry leaders alike. Future champions will enjoy this new way to connect with other aspiring players through a new website that started with local ties.

This sports based social networking site for athletes was founded by Teresa BelthropHairston and her two sons, Cameron, 31 and John Hairston, 28, all of Rockingham County.

Both sons now live in Atlanta, Georgia. Cameron played basket-

TOURISM D EVELOPMENT A UTHORITY A PPROVES G RANTS WENTWORTH —In its June meeting, the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) approved a total of $34,715 in marketing grants to various organizations throughout the county for marketing events in 2010 and 2011. The group also elected new officers for the upcoming year.

The grants are part of the TDA’s annual Marketing and Promotional Grants Program. The Board budgeted $40,000 this year for grants and received 18 requests totaling more than $78,000.

The Board voted to fund a portion of all 18 applications that were submitted rather than having to decline any applicant. A 10% increase in the amount funded was given to previous grant recipients, while $1,000 grants were awarded to each of five new applicants this year.

“We felt all the events were worth supporting and didn’t want to close the door on anybody,” said Quint Haley, chair of the TDA Board. “Funding the grants this way allows us to stay within budget and also have a little money left in reserve for any projects that might come along later in the year.”

“Every grant request we received was wonderful,” added Robin Yount, vice president of Tourism. “We are pleased to give the repeat recipients an increase and are excited to help the news ones as they work to establish some new events and market themselves.”

The only stipulation that comes with the grants is that the money must be used to market local events outside the county in order to attract out-of-town visitors.

The 2010-2011 Marketing and Promotional Grants are awarded to: Chinqua Penn Events, LLC (as requested by Reidsville Chamber of Commerce) Dan River Basin Association Dan River Boat Race Eden Historical Museum Eden YMCA for swim meets and tennis tournaments Lake Reidsville Morehead High School Wrestling Boosters for three tournaments NCMAT for Super 32 Wrestling Challenge Qualifier Olde Leaksville Shopping District for Riverfest Piedmont Folk Legacies for Charlie Poole Music Festival Piedmont Pottery Festival Reidsville Downtown Corporation for Tour of Reidsville Bike Race and Downtown Fall Festival Southern Culture Society for Carolina ‘ShineFest The Penn House During the meeting the TDA Board also voted on new officers for 2010-2011. These officers will begin their terms in July and include: Faye Shelton, Chair; Johnny Farmer, Vice Chair; Bill Moore, Secretary; Diana Moran, Assistant Secretary.

The Board also recognized Fletcher Waynick and Carole Roberts, both of whom are out-going members, for their years service and dedication to Rockingham County’s tourism industry.

V ETERANS’OFFICIAL AT RCC

RETIRING

WENTWORTH – After 20 continuous, but 25 total, years of serving Rockingham Community College, Kathy Everette of Madison is retiring; trading work for family time. Everette is the assistant to the director of financial aid/veterans’ affairs. Her retirement is official July 1.

“It was a tough decision,” said Everette.

“It’s hard to let go. Over the years you develop a sense of ownership over the people you serve and the job. I will miss it and my coworkers.”

Although Everette began working full-time Everette at RCC in 1972 in an administrative assistant capacity, she left in 1977 to raise her children. Returning full-time in 1990, she once again served as an administrative assistant.

Five years later, Everette became assistant to the director of financial aid, a perfect blend of paperwork and interaction with students. In 1997, Everette became interim veterans’ certifying official, a job she took full-time in 1998.

“I like financial aid,” she said, “but I’m especially passionate about working with veterans. I feel we owe these individuals a debt of gratitude for their service to the country.”

Everette said many of these individuals open up and tell her their stories, concerns and difficulties. She helps them find their way. And when they finally make it and finish their education, she feels immense personal satisfaction for whatever role she played in making that happen.

“I suppose being a teenager in the Vietnam era and seeing the suffering some of my classmates went through gave me an appreciation for the sacrifices veterans make,” she said.

On the horizon, however, looms wonderful summer days with growing grandchildren and that anticipation lights her face with delight.

RCS NA M E S N E W A DMINISTRATO R S F O R 2010-2011 SC H O O L Y E A R Rockingham County Schools is excited to name new administrators for the 2010-2011 school year. Retirements and transfers have created administrative openings across the district. These new appointments were officially approved by the Rockingham County Board of Education on June 14, 2010 at the Board Meeting.

Dr. Cary Atkins retired March 1, 2010, leaving the Executive Director of Human Resources position vacant. Rockingham County Middle School Principal, Steve Hall, will retire this month leaving a principal opening at RCMS. Lastly, Rockingham County High School Assistant Principal, Tim Eaves, and Monroeton Elementary School Assistant Principal, Roberta Nickelson, will retire this month leaving assistant principal vacancies at RCHS and Monroeton Elementary.

• Executive Director of Human Resources Jonathan Craig, current Reidsville High School Principal, has been named RCS’ Executive Director of Human Resources. Craig’s initial step in education began in 1990 as a mathematics teacher in Virginia. His teaching career continued to include math instruction at both Holmes Middle and Morehead High before he accepted a position as assistant principal of Rockingham County Middle in 1999 then assistant principal of Drewry Mason Middle in Henry County Virginia, in 2002. Craig returned to Rockingham County Schools, in 2004, as the principal of Western Rockingham Middle and was pro-

R OCKINGHAM C OUNTY S C H O O L S LA U N C H FA C E B O O K & TWITTER PA G E S Rockingham County Schools has recently joined the social networking world, and in doing so, announces the launch of district pages on both Facebook and Twitter as another means of communicating with staff, parents and the entire community.

“The use of social media, including Facebook and Twitter, is fast becoming an essential tool of communication across a wide variety of interests – commercial, personal, and now educational,” said Public Information Officer, Karen Hyler. “RCS is very excited to branch out our communication efforts to include this new media.”

The new social networking presence for RCS is complementary to the district’s main website, www.rock.k12.nc.us.

Both efforts are designed to broaden RCS’ online presence and improve communication with the community.

“Both Facebook and Twitter offer a great way for us to expand communication to the community in an efficient way. Many of

our stakeholders, particularly parents and students, are already using these tools and will likely continue to use them,” Superintendent Dr. Rodney Shotwell said. “Naturally, we want our message communicated to our stakeholders through a means they access regularly and with ease.”

Become a Fan on Facebook: Facebook is a free social networking website that allows users to join networks of individuals with like interests. Not only popular with those under 30, the site's popularity is growing fast among 35 -54 year olds. Current students, alumni, parents and others who are interested in what we do can become “fans” of the district, opting into our larger online community via the district’s Facebook page.

If you are on Facebook, consider becoming a fan of Rockingham County Schools by clicking “like” and spread the word to others. You can view the RCS Facebook page by following the below link or by searching the keyword “Rockingham County

Schools”: http://www.facebook.com/RockinghamCountySc hools Follow us on Twitter: Twitter is a popular social networking site that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). These postings are passed along to others for re-posting (or re-tweeting) on other Twitter sites. Think of each post as a very short e-mail that is forwarded and re-forwarded to people with like interests.

Follow us at http://twitter.com/RCS_NC. The public can access information regarding this initiative through the district website by visiting www.rock.k12.nc.us and clicking the link ‘Rockingham County Schools is Going Social’ under RCS in the News.

Diabetes is no stranger to many children. A life-long disease causing high levels of blood sugar, diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in children and teens. Recent evidence suggests that a common family of viruses may help trigger diabetes, especially in children. Sadly, diabetes is becoming familiar to an increasing number of children. The nation’s largest study of diabetes in young people found diabetes is on the rise in every racial and ethnic group studied.

What exactly is diabetes?

Often called juvenile diabetes, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. This means the immune system goes a little haywire. It mistakenly destroys pancreas cells that make insulin, a hormone that normally helps the body make energy from food. People with this type of diabetes must take daily injections of insulin for life.

With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas cells still produce insulin, but they don’t work the way they should. This type was formerly known as adult-onset diabetes because it mainly occurs in adults 40 and older. Now it is showing up in more and more children.

Lifestyles that favor junk food and video games over exercise and healthy food choices may be a big part of the problem. Children or teens most at risk are overweight or obese and have a family history of the disease. American Indians, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders are also at increased risk.

Type 2 diabetes may be hard to detect in children. That’s because they don’t always have symptoms. Once diagnosed with blood tests, though, diabetes is often well managed with weight loss, exercise, and changes in diet.

When symptoms of diabetes do appear, they may include: Frequent peeing , Extreme hunger or thirst, Unusual weight loss, Increased physical or mental fatigue, Irritability, jitteriness, or moodiness, Blurry vision.

So what’s the big deal about diabetes? What damage can it cause?

Left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications, such as: Nerve damage, Damage to the eyes, which can cause blindness, Kidney disease, Heart disease Doctors once thought these complications were unavoidable. Today, we know that controlling blood sugar can reduce or prevent them altogether. Doing this well does involve some big changes for your child – and possibly the whole family. And getting your child or teen on board at first may be tough. But you can do it!

To begin, you must check your child’s blood sugar often and keep accurate records.

If your child takes insulin, you’re likely to check about four times a day, but you must test with either type of diabetes. It’s the only way to know what blood sugar levels are. You may need to do this more often on certain days, such as when your child is sick.

Remember that our pharmacy staff can help answer your questions about these tests.

Managing diabetes well also involves exercise and meal planning. Your child will likely need to change what and when she or he eats. For example, healthy food choices require a careful balance and correct portion sizes of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. And, it’s important for your child to eat meals and snacks timed around insulin peaks. Sound complicated? With time, both you and your child can master these lifestyle changes. And, you can do it without depriving your child or teen of sleepovers, family vacations, extracurricular activities, and fun with friends.

from near and far to the Olde Leaksville Shopping District The business owners in the Olde Leaksville Shopping District have reported recent customers from not only across Eden and Rockingham County, but several states and three foreign countries. Pace-Stone Inc, distributor of Karastan Rugs, flooring, furniture and Vera Bradley products, has served customers from Anderson, SC, Lakewood, OH, Pulaski, TN, Ft. Meyers, FL, Sarasota, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Rochester, NY, Virginia Beach, VA and Roanoke, VA. “Many people that have come in from all over NC and VA in the last month.” stated Ty Pace, General Manager of PaceStone. Over the last three weeks, The Front Porch Clothing and Wine Shop has provided customer service for patrons from California, Florida, Maryland, Iowa, Virginia, S. Carolina, Missouri, Arizona, Ohio, and Georgia.

“We have also had customers here from Ireland and Australia,” stated co-owner Mel Hall. “We always cherish our local customers, but it is nice to see that

we can attract many from far off places.”

Tom Barbour of Barbour Studio recently provided immigration photos for a couple from Canada. One of the ways to fight the recession is to make a business a destination, an attraction for customers who will drive as far as two hours to shop at a particular store.

Ella Mc Bride of The Riverhouse Gift and Gourmet, claims that she served a mother and daughter from Des Moines, Iowa in mid-June. In the past, she has seen customers from England, Wisconsin, Florida and Rhode Island.

“People have shopped in the larger metropolitan areas and they are looking for more of an experience,” stated Mike Dougherty, Eden’s Main Street Manager. “Small towns provide interesting and quaint shopping experiences, characterized by excellent customer service you don’t normally get from larger stores.”

Eden has started contacting churches and recreational departments across the Triad and state to see if they can be enticed to visit the downtown areas on special shopping excursions. “We hope to draw more people here to see what Eden has to offer,” stated Dougherty.

For more information on the Olde Leaksville Shopping District, contact Merchant President Peggy Good at 336627-1332 or Mike Dougherty at 336-623-7789 ext. 3046.

RECYCLING QUESTIONS ANSWERED...

by Hazel Puckett

Why can we recycle plastic bottles/jars with the numbers 1 and 2, but we cannot recycle tubs with the same numbers?

Bottles and jars are manufactured using a different process than the tubs. Both types can be recycled and are accepted at some recycling centers, but I do not know of any in Rockingham County which accept tubs.

RCC HIRES INTERIM D E A N WENTWORTH – One day, in his former New Jersey managerial life, Bob Plain picked up “A River is Wide” by Pat Conroy.

The author spent a year on a South Carolina Plain i s l a n d teaching black children, an experience that inspired the book. That book inspired Plain, Rockingham Community College’s recently hired interim dean for the Community and Workforce Education Division.

“It had a profound impact,” he said. “I thought, ‘Those people (educators) are making a difference.’”

That profound impact followed him when he moved to North Carolina in 1991 to help care for a declining family member.

A University of Notre Dame graduate with an accounting/management degree, Plain quickly enrolled in North Carolina A&T University where he earned a master’s in education.

After a couple of frustrating years searching for a full-time teaching position, Guilford Technical Community College offered him the position of Program Coordinator in Business and Industry Services in 1994, ironically, a management position. Still, he was employed in a school and over the next 14 years, he made classroom experiences happen.

“We are all very excited about this program. The idea was born through a team effort in trying to come up with a more efficient way to provide wound consultations for patients at Annie Penn Hospital,” says Thresa Brown, Clinical Nurse Specialist at Annie Penn Hospital.

In the past if someone needed high-level wound care, a certified wound ostomy continence nurse would be called. The nurse would drive from Greensboro to Annie Penn Hospital to see the patient and examine the wound. This would happen at the end of the day or sometimes not until the next day.

Now the patient goes into a room equipped with an eLink Critical Care camera. The camera can pick up details as fine as a patient’s pupils or the hair on his or her arm. Since the system allows voice communication, the nurse can talk directly with the patient and caregivers, and care can begin immediately.

The program is being presented this week at the 2010 Joint Conference of the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society and the World Council of Enterosomal Therapists in Phoenix, AZ. “This is the major national conference for the Wound Ostomy Continence specialty. To have a poster accepted here validates Moses Cone Health System as a leader in innovative approaches to deliver quality care to our patients,” Brown says.

LO C A L A SSISTIVE TE C H N O L O G Y P ROFESSIONAL E A R N S H IGH C REDITATION Tim Amos, Technology Professional at Carolina Apothecary in Reidsville and Eden N.C., has earned the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) certification by the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North Carolina, (RESNA).

RESNA is the nation’s leading organization who serves people with disabilities seeking technology applications to maximize their ability to function in their home, school, and/or work environment.

A trained assistive technology professional analyzes the needs of individuals with disabilities, assists in the selection of the appropriate equipment and trains the consumer how to properly use the specific equipment. The Assistive Amos Technology Professional (ATP) certification recognizes professionals who have reached an internationally accepted standard of knowledge in assistive technology and who demonstrate a commitment to provide only the highest ethical standards of practice.

To become certified as an Assistive Technology Professional, one has to meet three requirements: eligibility (through work and education), a rigorous exam that tests competency in the field of assistive technology and an ongoing commitment to practice the highest ethical standard. RESNA has a process to review any violations of these standards which can be reported to the professional standards board.

“Most candidates find that the certification process itself is highly valuable,” said Anjali Weber, MS, ATP and Director of Certification, RESNA. “The application, work experience and comprehensive examination are an excellent evaluation of their commitment to the field, and the requirement to abide by the RESNA Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics help assure that individuals with assistive technology needs will be offered quality service.”

To earn ATP Certification, Amos had to demonstrate an understanding of the main principles of assistive technology including psychology and sociology; human anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and biomechanics; basic etiologies and pathologies; learning and teaching; assessment procedures; service delivery systems and funding for assistive technology; design and product development; product knowledge of assistive technology devices; integration of person, technology and the environment and professional conduct.

“We see certification as an integral part of RESNA’s commitment to the education of its members and the development of the assistive technology profession in general,” said RESNA past-presi-

E D E N C ITY C OUNCIL M EETS IN JU N E

From The Desks Of CITY HALL FIRE C HIEF B ERNIE M O O R E’S FA R E W E L L M E S S A G E A S H E RETIRES Two years ago when I became the chief of the Eden Fire Department, I did not realize the responsibilities this job had in store for me. With the help of a lot of prayers and good people to work with, the job – as stressful as it can be – was made easier because of the support I had.

In the last two years, the department has received several grants that in turn have provided better equipment for our firefighters. This happened because

our firemen stepped up and worked on these projects to get the monies to help us purchase the items needed. More than once, our officers and drivers/operators came to me about ways to help our department do things better and for all of this help, I say thank you. I would also like to thank the city manager, mayor and city council for the confidence they had in me to lead the department.

I have been with the EFD for

more than 34 years and leaving this group of firemen on a day-today basis will be hard and different. Although I will not to be around the department every day, I do plan to serve as chaplain for the fire department and will still be in contact with all the guys in that special way. “ As Deputy Chief Underwood takes over as chief, I feel sure he will do his best for the fire department and its firefighters. I want to wish him the very best.”

N E W CHIEF Former Deputy Chief and Fire Marshal Tommy Underwood was named new fire chief. While he looks forward to the challenge of the job, Underwood said he is sad to see Moore leave. “Bernie Moore is a fine person and has been a good chief,” Underwood said. “I’ve learned a lot of good things from him, serving under him the last few years. I hope I can carry on the good things he has started.”

Underwood was excited to be named the new fire chief. “I am looking forward to the Underwood challenge. I want to give 110 percent and then some. The fire department has many wonderful people. I’m sure they will make my job easier. Without a good staff behind you, the chief is nothing.”

Underwood brings nearly 27 years of fire service experience to his new position. He has served as a supervisor in the department for eight years and also has supervisory experience in the Draper and Eden volunteer fire departments. He holds several certifications as an instructor and fire inspector. Underwood is an Eden native and is married to Vicki. The couple has two children, Brooke and Tommy II, and two grandchildren, Larissa and Jaylan.

Former Lt. Todd Harden has been promoted as the second in command. Harden will serve as the deputy chief and fire marshal.

James Slaughter was named the new lieutenant to replace Harden.

The House budget encourages small business initiatives, creation of jobs, and investment in the local economy through the use of incentives and tax cuts. Also, the Piedmont Triad Partnership would receive funding to market our area as a fertile place for business. Continued backing for innovation would be

S IBLINGS N A M E D 2010 SC H O L A R V ISION W INNERS The Carolinas Credit Union Foundation (CCUF) awarded Rachel Corcoran of Eden a Scholar Vision scholarship.

Corcoran, who is a member of Local Government FCU, plans to attend Appalachian State University.

CCUF also awarded Stephen Corcoran Jr. of Eden a Scholar Vision scholarship.

Corcoran Jr., who is a member of Local Government FCU, plans to attend UNC - Greensboro.

The Scholar Vision Funds are a collection of funds and resources established to help credit union members in North and South Carolina achieve a higher level of education. The Foundation believes that as individual's self-esteem and economic well-being may be grounded in academic development.

"Education is a common thread that binds understanding," remarked John R. Slack, Jr., President/CEO of CCUF. "These objectives are at the heart of credit unions and are fully supported by the Foundation. We congratulate our winners and wish them well in their academic journey."

Through the Scholar Vision Funds, educational and financial need scholarships are available to credit union members through the Foundation's General Fund or through a collection of advised and named funds. Since inception, the Foundation has invested more than $1.2 million to help credit union members better themselves through higher education.

For a complete listing of the 2010 Scholar Vision winners and the other programs of CCUF, please go to www.carolinasfoundation.org.

The Carolinas Credit Union Foundation represents the many credit unions in North and South Carolina with our mission to improve the economic and social conditions of credit unions, credit union members, their families and their communities by providing educational opportunities, enhancing childhood development, offering credit union assistance and by providing aid in times of natural and man-made disasters.

given to farmers and small businesses through the NC Rural Center as well.

Education as a whole will take some hits, but the House proposal allows local school boards to redirect lottery revenue originally planned for construction to retain K-12 teaching jobs.

Many vacant positions and other wasteful spending will likely be eliminated in a governmentwide effort to require more fiscal responsibility in all departments and put funding into places where it is most needed.

Legislation to hold companies responsible for offshore spills, etc. passed the House this week. It removes the cap on liability and protects both the citi-

zens and government from monetary damages.

This report details only parts of the House’s budget plan.

However, the next Raleigh Report will have more detailed information about the final budget negotiated between both the House and Senate.

For The Fun Of It What Happened To The Declaration Signers?

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?...

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown , Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.

Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots.

It's not much to ask for the price they paid.Remember: freedom is never free!I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many people as you can, please.

It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.

Elderly Gentleman An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100% The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect... Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'

The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'

He Said To Me! He said to me . . . I don't know why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in it. I said to him . . . You wear pants don't you?

He said to me . . ....... Shall we try swapping positions tonight?

I said . That's a good idea - you stand by the stove & sink while I sit on the sofa.

He said to me.. ... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you? I said to him... Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

He said to me. ..... Why don't women blink during foreplay? I said to him .. .. They don't have time.

He said to me... How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper? I said to him .. . I don't know; it has never happened..

He said to me... Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and Good- looking? I said to him . . . They already have boyfriends.

He said...What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night? I said. . .

A widow.

He said to me.... Why are married women heavier than single women? I said to him . . .

Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed.

Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.

The Mightiest A lion woke up one morning feeling rowdy. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?”

The trembling monkey said, “You are, mighty lion!”

Later, the lion confronted a deer and bellowed, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?”

The terrified deer stammered, “Oh great lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle!”

On a roll, the lion swaggered up to an elephant and roared, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?” The elephant snatched up the lion with his trunk, slammed him against a tree, stomped on him and then ambled away. The battered lion hollered after the elephant, “Sheesh, just because you don’t know the answer, you don’t have to get so upset.”

You should be sorry. Now give me your name!! Operator: That's what I just said. I'm Saw Ree Caller: Oh ...God.....this is going no where.

Family Tradition The Smith’s were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. They had included Senators and Wall Street wizards.

They decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose - how to handle that great-uncle George, who was executed in the electric chair.

The author assured the family he could handle the story as tactfully as possible and was given the go-ahead to write the book.

The book appeared. It said “Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution and was attached to his position by the strongest of ties. His death came as a great shock.”.

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 next issue...

CANDEO - it is Latin for “grow brilliant“. Imagine that! You can start out less than stellar and grow brilliant. Why else would an ancient language have a term for a process except to reveal that it is possible? I mean to have a mandate without a possibility seems counterproductive. What are the vehicles to this nirvana?

Let’s investigate our resources. I believe in the power of the spoken and written word and silent thoughts to either enrich or diminish the reservoir of human potential. I believe in the power of a smile and other positive, peaceful exchanges among humans to not only enliven the life of the submitter but that of the observer/receiver as well. I believe that soothing music and rhythmic, therapeutic, movement heals. I think many forms of art (both to do and to see) fulfills the soul’s need for being a contributor in a personal, creative endeavor. I feel the need to have a personal relationship with something, someone, who is much more than myself, therefore I worship. So to recap we have communication, productive thinking, gentile civilized human contact, music, physical expression and exertion, art, and worship. Can any of these aid us in our journey toward brilliance? I think so.

There are, as we know, many types of intelligences. “Growing” brilliant however, seems to imply that where ever you are, you can and should continue to improve in that area(s).So how can we actually do it? How can we “Get

‘er done”? I am glad you asked.

Recommended activities to increase brilliance include : • Practice patiently figuring things out (don’t give up, even if it requires help from someone, solve the problem) • Making the changes in your diet and lifestyle that promotes health Reading (a variety of good material) • Finding a hobby (get one that will be of enjoyment throughout your life) and Exercise (yes, moving your body regularly in a productive manner helps your mind!)

Growing brilliant also seems to include the brightness that good deeds bring into our often cloudy world. How do we become kinder folk? First, I think it is paramount to dismiss the notion that kindness is weakness. Start seeing the needs of others (especially in your own home!) The whole “brighten the corner where you are” concept, is one that would do us well to revisit.

Perhaps if the golden rule ,“treat others the way YOU would like to be treated in that same situation” would be seen as valuable if we could get cash for that gold!

I found a few websites that may also be of use in our pursuit of personal improvement in the areas mentioned: www.becomingsmarter.com www.lumosity.com www.wtvzone.com/Mary/TWENTYIDEAS.HTML So dear readers, let’s purpose right now to CANDEO and make where we are a little better.

D A N R IVER B ASIN A SSOCIATION P L A N S JU LY 3 OUTING

“BENEFIT” PROJECTS IN ROCKINGHAM COUNTY

PADDLE O N TALBOTT R ESERVOIR IN U PPER D A N VALLEY The Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) will paddle on Talbott Reservoir near the Blue Ridge Parkway for its July 3 First Saturday Outing. Meeting at 10:00 a.m. at Poor Farmers Market, Meadows of Dan, Virginia, participants will carpool to the put-in near Talbott Dam. Coordinator for the out-andback paddle is Charlie Williams, chair of DRBA's Recreation Committee.

Located in the wild Dan River Gorge south of Meadows of Dan in Patrick County, Virginia, the reservoir is the primary catchment and storage area for the water that drives the City of Danville's Pinnacles Power Plant at the head of Kibler Valley.

Visitors to the area are required to have a permit, and for safety reasons, park regulations do not allow swimming, camping, hunting, firearms, pets, or

alcohol. Williams will be responsible for the group's permit.

Water released from Talbott Dam, referred to locally in Meadows of Dan as the Upper Dam, spills into a natural stream bed before being diverted six miles downstream by Townes Dam, known as the Lower Dam. Access is gated and restricted to hand-carry boats, assuring a clean, quiet, and undisturbed setting for paddlers.

Only a short distance upstream from Talbott Dam is the Great Bend of the Dan, just one of the many meanders of the river through the gorge. A few meanders further upstream is Big Ivy Creek, site of Willie Knowles' Bottom, which Forrest Altman, author of The Dan River Book, notes is a favorite launching place for local fishermen.

Paritcipants should arrange to supply boat, paddles, life jack-

ets, water and lunch; wear watershedding artificial fabric (not cotton, and certainly not blue jeans); and provide a back-up change of clothing. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver.

Directions: Take US 58 (Jeb Stuart Highway) to Meadows of Dan. Continue on Jeb Stuart Highway, US 58 Business, toward Blue Ridge Parkway for 0.8 mile. Poor Farmers Market is on the left.

Outings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without charge.

For more information about the trip, contact trip coordinator Charlie Williams, 336-337-8843, chawilliams59@yahoo.com.

M O R E H E A D H IGH H O N O R S PAST A THLETE When Tommy Woods played ball, no matter if it were football or baseball, he gave it his all. Baseball was the closest to his heart though. In his own words, Tommy was a baseball player.

He was raised in Draper, and spent most of his childhood on the sandlot fields of that area. His dream was to be a big league ball player.

Tommy began playing on the Morehead High School baseball team, his position was second base and his batting average was over .300 in both seasons. He was scouted by the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets, making him one of the first Morehead players scouted by the pros. In the summer of 1965 Tommy was picked to play on an American Legion All-Star team from Roanoke, which made him the only North Carolina player chosen.

That August Tommy decided to play football his senior year and during the second game of the season against Martinsville High, his dream was shattered when while making a tackle, he broke his neck, and at only 17 he never walked again. Only his neck was broken though, not his

spirit. H returned to school in March of 1966 and in doing so inspired the basketball team on to win the 3-A State Championship.

He soon graduated with the class of 1966 and decided to make the best of a bad situation.

Over the past 4 decades, the school has honored Woods by having scholarships and awards named after him. He didn’t let the disability keep him from living his life. He was married twice, and worked for Rockingham County Emergency Services for nearly 20 years. Even with curled hands, he managed to learn to paint and he even learned

to type.

He remained an inspiration to family and friends until his death in June 2009, and still is an inspiration to others in his death, often saying “I hope there’s baseball in heaven”.

The baseball field at Morehead was dedicated on May 22nd in Woods’ name in hopes to keep his story alive for many generations to come. Dr. Rodney Shotwell opened the ceremonies and Betty Harrington, the principal at Morehead welcomed the guests. Tommy’s Position Coach from 1965 unveiled the outfield sign honoring Woods and Susan Woods unveiled the granite Memorial Marker which was beautifully carved and placed by Saunders’ Monument Service.

The students were honored at a luncheon June 12, at the Radisson Governors Inn in the Research Triangle Park.

"We are proud to recognize this select group of student-athletes for the manner in which they compete and their attitudes toward their competitors," said

A total of 28 student-athletes from North Carolina High School Athletic Association member schools will be honored for their outstanding sportsmanship as winners of "Heart of a Champion" recognition.

The sportsmanship recognition is part of the program offered by the NCHSAA Student Services Division and is sponsored by the North Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company. Mark Dreibelbis, NCHSAA assistant commissioner, and assistant director for student services Chiquana Dancy administer the program.

Each of the NCHSAA member schools had the opportunity to nominate one male and one female student-athlete for the recognition. The students must have participated in at least one varsity sport, including cheerleading, during the 2009-10 school year, have not been ejected from any contest, and must have demonstrated outstanding citizenship and sportsmanship during their high school careers.

The 2009-2010 school year was quite adventurous for the athletic teams of Morehead High School and Holmes Middle School. We saw both triumph and failure, and we experienced both disappointment and glee.

Most importantly, however, we have come to the end of the season knowing that we have all basked in the warmth of friendly competition and team spirit. It is that spirit that has been the engine that has kept this writer going throughout the season. I am very grateful to have been a part of the sports scene here in Eden both as a writer, as a parent of an athlete and a fan of some of the best sports teams in the state.

I would like to thank the athletes, coaching staff, team assistants, and school administrators of both Morehead and Holmes for assisting me with gathering the information I needed to write about their performances. At Morehead High School, I tip my hat in gratitude to the basketball teams, the fencing team, the track teams and the cheerleading squads. At Holmes Middle School, my thanks go to the basketball teams and the cheerleaders. A special round of applause goes out to specific individuals as well, for without the above-and-beyond help I got from those individuals, my articles could not have been written. At Morehead High School, I recognize Athletic Director Jason Tuggle, fencing coach Harvey Webb, and scorekeepers Jazmin McDaniel and Emily (you know who you are).

At Holmes Middle School, I tip my hat to Assistant Principle Reavis, who was instrumental in arranging for me opportunities to report on her basketball teams and photograph her athletes.

Outside editorial help has come from Mr. Phillip Larimore of Kernersville and Lisa and Elizabeth Doss of Eden's Own Journal. To those people I am very grateful. Finally, I thank all the readers and hope you all have a safe and happy summer.
