skat Transportation System surpasses expectations

By Mike Dougherty, Economic Development Director

The Eden skat public transportation system started on Monday, Jan. 7. Great fanfare and media coverage accompanied Eden’s first public transportation system in decades.

Despite the cold and inclement weather, ridership has far surpassed what was projected when the grant to create the system was written.

During the week of March 4, 257 riders took advantage of the system,

pitalized with a very serious illness.

She was able to catch the bus at the Jerry’s Restaurant stop in the Draper Village area of Eden and go visit her husband during his hospital stay and has since been able to use the bus to get herself to Walmart, doctor’s appointments and other destinations.

The Eden skat bus has given her independence that she would not have had were the service not available. · A mother of two children had not been able to work for several

more than double what was initially expected. “We anticipate many more riders once the weather improves,” Lee Covington said. He is the executive director of the Aging, Disability and Transit Service that operates the bus system.

In addition to the riders, the system’s benefit to the Eden community has been confirmed by testimonials of those citizens who have been able to obtain employment because they have reliable transportation. At least four individuals have reported this to be the case. Transportation has given some people freedom they have not had in years and others have improved their quality of life.

The compelling testimonials include: · A woman living on High Street in Eden had never driven before and had always relied on her husband to get to doctor’s appointments, the grocery store, etc. On Jan. 6, he was hos-

months because of daycare issues and lack of transportation. Since she lives near the Georgia Avenue Apartments’ bus stop, she has been able to gain employment with McDonald’s and works almost every day except Sunday, the day the bus does not run. Her self-confidence and ability to take care of her family has soared. · An elderly couple residing in the Spray section of Eden does not drive and relies on the current RCATS fleet to pick them up for doctors’ appointments. The skat bus system stops at their apartment complex. For the first time in years, this couple was able to catch the bus on a Saturday and travel to the movie theater where they watched a matinee and met up with old friends. They have a new social life because of this system.

• A young man who is trying to obtain job skills and further his education catches the bus several times a week from his apartment complex and travels to the Goodwill Community Resource Center on King’s Highway. If it were not for the bus, he would have no other transportation to travel to the Center in order to better his employment skills.

• The Historic Leaksville Downtown merchants have described the bus route as a “godsend” because the stop on Washington Street has brought patrons to their businesses that otherwise may not have been able to shop there.

• A woman who has worked in a factory most of her life now uses the skat bus to get to work most days, but before it was available, she had to walk 2.5 miles to work each day.

• A young father who works at a food service establishment rides not only for work, but also to the public library to research books on the disorder with which his son has been recently diagnosed.

• An elderly woman who attends the Bridge Street Nutrition Site rides the bus to purchase groceries each week and now is guaranteed to have more to eat than just the hot lunch that is served at the site.

Local businesses are now starting to advertise on the buses.

Sponsorships are also available for free-standing shelters that will eventually be at most stops. The skat schedule can be found at www.rideskat.org.

For more information on the skat Transportation System progress, contact Meggan Odell, director of Transit Services for the Aging, Disability and Transit Services, at 349-2343 or 394-1300.

eral poor health.

• Obesity affects learning as well as health. There are more than 25 scientific studies that show a positive relationship between a child’s level of physical activity as a factor of overall health and academic achievement.

Children who are more active and generally healthier tend to perform better academically.

In response to this crisis, the Rockingham County Partnership for Children (RCPC) is again sponsoring the GO FAR (Go Out For A Run) program this spring.

GO FAR is a character development and fitness program designed to address the childhood obesity epidemic in North Carolina through a combination of physical activity and education on healthy nutrition. Throughout the course of the 10 week program, children ages eight and up train to compete in a 5K road race through twice weekly afterschool running clubs. There is a fiveweek one mile fun run option for younger children.

This is the third year that GO FAR has been offered in Rockingham County. Currently more than 300 children from 14 schools and afterschool programs are training for the 5K. Among those schools and afterschool care sites participating are Dillard Elementary School, Wentworth Elementary School, South End Elementary School, Central Elementary School, Douglass Elementary School, Moss Street Elementary School, Williamsburg Elementary School, Draper Elementary School, Stoneville Elementary School, Angelic Minds Afterschool, Carol’s Care Child Development Center, Leaksville Spray Elementary School, Lawsonville Avenue Elementary School, and Reidsville Middle School. Every child who participates in the program is encouraged to run in the race regardless of their family’s ability to pay the entry fee. Partnership staff are currently seeking sponsors and volunteers for the event.

Sponsorships are critical to the success of the program because they allow RCPC to waive the race entry fee for students for whom the cost would be a barrier to participation. Volunteers are needed to help with the race day festivities and help supervise the runners on the course.

The Rockingham GO FAR 5K and One Mile Fun Run event will be held on April 20, 2013 at Reidsville High School and is open to the community. The fun run begins at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K starts at 9:15 a.m. Both events will start and finish in the football stadium at Reidsville High School. Discounted early registration is available through March 1st with t-shirts guaranteed for those who register by March 28th. If you would like to participate in the race or get involved as a community sponsor or volunteer, you can get more information by visiting www.rockinghamkids.org/go-far or by contacting the Rockingham County Partnership for Children office at 342-9676 ext. 205.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life

APRIL 2013 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 3 ¶

Two major expansions announced in Stoneville Southern Finishing Governor Pat McCrory and N.C. Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker recently announced that Southern Finishing Company, a furniture and cabinet component manufacturer, will expand its facility in Rockingham County. The company plans to create 11 jobs and invest more than $500,000 over the next three years in Stoneville.

"An important part of our economic growth strategy must include increasing the number products made in North Carolina," said Governor McCrory. "Our state's skilled workforce gives manufacturers a huge competitive advantage."

Southern Finishing Company, founded in 1978, specializes in prefinishing mouldings, accessories, panels, doors, kitchen and bath cabinet components, and bedrails crafted to each customer's specifications.

The company partners with manufacturers such as American Woodmark, Marsh Furniture, Armstrong Cabinets, Quality Cabinets and Thomasville Furniture. Southern Finishing currently employs 10 people at its Stoneville facility.

“North Carolina has a global reputation for manufacturing topnotch furniture,” said Sharon Decker, N.C. Secretary of Commerce. “This expansion is great news for a community that was hit hard by the economic recession.”

Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual payroll for the new jobs will be more than $280,000.

“Southern Finishing has a 32 year history in the wood industry in North Carolina, so this is a logical step for us,” said Ed Brown, President & CEO, Southern Finishing Company. “Many of our customers and suppliers have facilities in North Carolina. We currently have a manufacturing facility here. This background, the availability of affordable space and a labor force with wood industry experience in the area make this an ideal site for Southern Finishing. This move will allow us to consolidate our manufacturing base, reduce overhead, save existing manufacturing jobs and concentrate on future growth. We appreciate the opportunity that the State of North Carolina, the Town of Stoneville and Rockingham County are affording us.”

“Southern Finishing’s expansion is more good news for Stoneville and Rockingham County. We are very pleased that this well-established and respected furniture company is expanding here. It just goes to show that manufacturing is still alive and well in Rockingham County and we will do our best to help all our local manufacturers continue to be successful,” said Graham Pervier, president of the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism

Development.

The project was made possible in part by a performancebased grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $13,000.

The grant is contingent upon proof of job creation and receipt of a local funding match. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds.

Other partners that helped with this project include: the N.C. Department of Commerce, N.C. Community Colleges, Rockingham County, Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development and the Town of Stoneville.

Sans Technical Fibers Sans Technical Fibers LLC (STF), a North American manufacturer of specialized nylon 66 fibers, announced the expansion of its nylon manufacturing capabilities in Stoneville, North Carolina. The company plans to make a $10 million investment in machinery and equipment at the Stoneville plant.

The expansion of 8 million pounds per year nameplate capacity is expected to be on line towards the end of 2013. The additional capacity will be used to expand STF's position in the automotive, military and apparel markets in both industrial and textile applications.

"This expansion is the first stage of a strategic initiative to install equipment that gives us world-class manufacturing economics." said Zach Zacharias, President of STF. "Our long-term sourcing partnership with Ascend Performance Materials, Inc., a quality nylon 66 chip producer, ensures that we are well positioned to thrive in a future competitive environment. The new technology fits well into our existing infrastructure and has resulted in good investment metrics. The new capabilities will allow STF to enter additional markets currently not served in both North America and globally."

"We are always thrilled to see our local companies making investments to expand their capacity," said Graham Pervier, president of the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development. "We are pleased to hear about STF's plans for the Stoneville plant.

The company is an important corporate citizen for Rockingham County. This news just shows that STF, as well as our other local spinners, are doing very well."

Sans Technical Fibers, LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AECI LIMITED, a Johannesburg stock exchange listed chemical company. (AFE - JSE).

York, a special lady, will be missed Doris Camilla Jones York, 86, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 17, 2013. Funeral service was held at Fair Funeral Home Chapel; burial followed at Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Reidsville.

Camilla was born on March 2, 1926 to the late Ross and Martha Setliff Jones and grew up in the Carolina Heights section of Spray. She dearly loved her family and was a very special sister to three brothers and seven sisters.

Camilla was married to Johnnie W. York for over 50 years and they lived in Reidsville. They both retired from the American Tobacco

Company with more than 40 years of service and were dedicated members of Penn Memorial Baptist Church.

Mrs. York is survived by her sisters Patricia Ball of Elkin and Betty Sawyers of Eden, special brother-in-law Billy Sawyers, and many nieces and nephews whom she loved as if they were her own children. Camilla was preceded in death by her husband, her infant son, five sisters, three brothers, and special sisterin-law Margaret Dixon.

If you had the privilege to know Camilla even just a little then you know how remarkable she was. It’s impossible to find the words that would tell just how

Doris Camilla Jones York special and wonderful she was and what she means to so many people. She was genuine, sincere, tender, kind, loving, always giving – she’d give you everything she had. She was humble, gentle, strong, godly, graceful; she was a southern lady, a rare treasure, beautiful inside and out.

Proverbs 31:26 describes her well: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.” Camilla was an encourager, a peacemaker, she never spoke ill of anyone; she was full of empathy and understanding. She made those around her feel loved and special. She was a woman of integrity and she loved and served the Lord faithfully.

Camilla loved to read, to shop, to travel, to serve others, and to spend time with her family and friends. Her sisters have many fond memories of special birthday get-togethers and trips.

She loved “Tweety Bird”, old movies, westerns, golf, and flowers. She was an AMAZING cook. Camilla was the one that brought us together. Whether it was for holidays, Sunday lunches, or simple everyday meals and get-togethers -- she made them all special. Even more than just filling our bellies with delicious food, she filled our lives with kindness, love, and joy. We miss her dearly.

2013 Business Expo - A Bridge to Tomorrow The 11th Annual Eden Business Expo is an entirely different show than its ten predecessors. This year’s event will take place over two days in late afternoon-early evening at the former Goodwill location at Kingsway Plaza. The first day will be a ticketed Gala held on Wednesday, May 1st from 4:00pm-8:00pm.

This will include vendors, food and entertainment. The second day will be open to the public on Thursday, May 2nd from 4:00pm-8:00pm. This timing will allow many people who work locally and out of town to attend the event that normally ended at 6:00pm in past years, too early for many working people. It also will allow students to be part of this premier business event.

Eden is patterning the 2013 Expo after the Martinsville/Henry County Fast Track trade show that normally draws 3,000-4,000 people. It is one of the largest trade shows in the southeastern U.S. “The Eden Chamber of Commerce Business Expo is heading into a new decade. After ten years of bringing a quality event to Eden, we were challenged in finding ways to keep it fresh and up to date

The ticketed Gala gives businesses the opportunity to target their customers and potential customers in a comfortable setting. The former Goodwill space has been reconfigured to allow up to 63 booths. There will be ample space for industry, businesses and non-profit exhibitors.

Jean Ann Wood, President of the Eden Chamber of Commerce, welcomes the positive changes of the 2013 event. “We want to make it easier for consumers to attend this Expo and both the location and time change accomplishes that,” Wood stated.

Michael J. Beckman joined County Government as the new Safety & Risk Manager in March. He is a graduate of Auburn University where he majored in Industrial Design/Psychology.

Since October, 2008, Beckman has served the Town of Chapel Hill as Occupational Health & Safety Officer. From 1996 until 2008, he worked for the City of Winston-Salem as Safety Director." Prior to that, Beckman worked for the Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency and for Aetna Casualty who provided safety and claims services for most cities and towns in Conn. and many Fortune 500 companies.

“We knew we had to bring in someone with experience to fill the shoes of the outgoing and hugely successful Safety & Risk Manager,” said County Manager Lance Metzler. “Over the past five years the County has seen Workers Compensation cost savings of almost $700,000 per year. Mike will be asked to play a key leadership role in our successful Wellness efforts as well, which have resulted in Rockingham County Government’s health insurance rates increasing at only half the national average.”

Beckman is a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) and a Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist (COHC). He is a Professional Member of the America Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) and recently received an award for “25 years of Dedicated and Loyal Service.” He serves on the Public Sector National Advisory Committee with ASSE. He is also a member of the North Carolina Association of Local Governmental Employee Safety Officials where he received the 2011 Hubert Tarkenton Award for Outstanding Safety Achievement.

Beckman was born and raised in Tuscumbia, Ala. (birthplace of Helen Keller). While at Auburn University, he met his wife Miriam

They have three sons, Christopher, Andy and Danny.

Beckman began his safety career in Birmingham, Ala., and lived in Mobile, before moving to Conn. They moved to N.C. in 1995 and vow to never leave.

He enjoys playing guitar, photography and kayaking. During high school and college, he was a “professional” magician.

Beckman will replace Mark Holzer who retires at the end of March after six years with Rockingham County Gov.

Eden Man Sentenced As Habitual Felon For Second Time Warren Simpson, 39, of Eden pled guilty to Trafficking Cocaine, Possession with Intent to Sell/Deliver Marijuana, and Possession of a Firearm by a Felon in February in Rockingham County Superior Court. He was sentenced as an Habitual to 7-9 years in prison

by Judge Lindsay Davis.

In March, 2012, a search warrant was issued for the defendant’s residence on Circle Drive in Eden. When law enforcement arrived to execute the search warrant, Simpson was standing in the driveway.

Simpson ran into the residence and locked the door behind him. When deputies gained entry into the residence, they observed Simpson holding a plastic bag containing crack cocaine. Detectives found a bag of crack cocaine and a separate bag marijuana buried outside the residence. A firearm and approximately $800.00 in cash was located in the defendant’s residence.

Simpson, had prior convictions for Possession of Schedule II Controlled Substance, Sale of Cocaine, Possession with Intent to Sell/Deliver Cocaine, Trafficking Cocaine, and was previously sentenced as an Habitual Felon in 2004.

I am running for Mayor of Eden in the November 2013 election. I feel that a strong Mayor provides leadership who believes investment in people and economic growth are integral to the future of our city.

Investment in our people means helping our citizens to get the education and skills necessary to find a job. Since our city is still in transition from the textile era, “action over words” is essential in providing leadership.

For example, Councilman Jim Burnette and I sponsored the development of the Community Resource Center in Kingsway Plaza.

The City Council voted to fund this resource center. It provides job skills training and education for the citizens of Eden to reenter the workforce. The City of Eden partnered with Goodwill Industries, Rockingham Community College and Century-Link to form the first private/public partnership in the state. To date over 351 of our citizens have secured jobs and more than 2,000 people have taken advantage of services and classes since opening October 31, 2011.

This two year pilot program will be taken over by Goodwill in fall of 2013. Our initial two year investment will be worth the long-term effect it will have on jobs and educational opportunities for our citizens.

It is imperative that we take a proactive employment approach with respect to the Mega Park just across the Virginia line outside of Draper.

This Mega Park site has been a decade in developing and may potentially provide 6,000-12,000 jobs in the future. The City of Eden will provide the sewer for the park and eventually have a part in providing the water. This can be a way to recoup some of our water and sewer losses as a result of National Textiles and other industries who have closed in the past. A Mayor must think in the present as well as have vision for economic growth that is several years in the future.

I will aggressively support bringing industries to our community or assisting with existing industry expansion. Our small business numbers are growing and integral in that it provides the linchpin for economic development in any city. Economic development directly affects the real estate market, retail business, industries and every individual.

Quality of life issues include bringing people to town for our festivals and family activity areas such as Freedom Park and Greenways. There is no substitute for an inviting city with activities that enhance our way of life.

W.K. Dickson, an engineering company, did a 2003 study that showed our city to have $93

million of water and sewer problems. In 2004, NCDENR put our city under a Consent Order with a directive from the state to immediately start correcting our problems. I have supported the $15 million that the council has approved in the last five years to correct our problems and be relieved of the Consent Order.

In addition, the EPA put our city under an Administrative Order in 2012 that may cost as much as $20 million that must be completed in five years. It will take leadership to get this EPA directive completed.

Otherwise, we may be penalized up to $35 thousand a day for being in violation.

The aforementioned examples show that the legacy we leave for the next generation is the litmus test of a Mayor and City Council. I have been elected to the City Council for three terms and would be honored to serve our city as Mayor. Eden’s Future is in the Balance!

County Schools Recognized for PBIS Programs Twelve Rockingham County Schools (RCS) were recognized by the NC Department of Education at the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) Recognition Ceremony on Monday, February 18, 2013 in Durham, NC. Draper Elementary, Monroeton Elementary, and Western Rockingham County Middle earned Green Ribbon status for outstanding progress and implementation of PBIS with fidelity. Schools recognized as Green Ribbon Schools earned at least 80% in teaching behavioral expectations to their students and staff, and 80% or higher overall on the Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET).

Dillard Elementary, Huntsville Elementary, Central Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, South End Elementary, Douglass Elementary, Holmes Middle, Reidsville Middle, and the SCORE Center/BTWLC earned Model Banner status for outstanding progress and implementation of PBIS with fidelity.

Model Banner schools have completed all of the requirements for Green Ribbon Schools in addition to Model Banner requirements. These schools have completed Module 2 and/or Module 3 training and have implemented universal and targeted behavioral interventions for students. They have also achieved a Level 2 or higher on the Implementation Inventory for teaching behavioral expectations and 90% total SET score for teaching behavioral expectations and overall implementation.

Dr. Shotwell, Rockingham County Superintendent; Dr. Nakia Hardy, Assistant Superintendent; Dr. Jean Steverson; Assistant Superintendent; and Dr. Cindy Corcoran, Executive Director of Exceptional Children’s Services, and Stephanie Austin, PBIS Coordinator/Lead School Psychologist were all in attendance in support of the schools.

Mrs. Austin, RCS PBIS Coordinator/Lead School Psychologist, stated, “I am extremely proud of Rockingham

County Schools’ implementation of PBIS. We have a phenomenal group of leaders in our district that make implementation of PBIS possible. This system of supports is clearly impacting our students in RCS in a positive manner. Increased academic achievement and positive school climate is observed when this system of support of support is implemented with fidelity.”

June St. Clair Atkinson, State Superintendent, and Mary N. Watson, Director of Exceptional Children Division for the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), began the celebration by commending all of the schools for their hard work and dedication to PBIS. The state superintendent commended PBIS schools for their implementation of this research and evidence based system of supports. The PBIS initiative requires support at all levels of administration: Superintendents, Central Office, and School administrators to be successful.

Joe Simmons, Positive Behavior Support Section Chief, and Heather Reynolds, PBIS Consultant, Cayce McCamish, PBIS Regional Coordinator and other regional coordinators recognized all of the schools in all regions of North Carolina who earned Green Ribbon, Model, and Exemplar School status. The state superintendent presented the awards to individual schools.

George Sugai, Professor at University of Connecticut/Center for Behavioral Education and Research Associate, spoke to PBIS schools and provided professional development on sustainability and innovation of PBIS implementation. Dr. Sugai is also the codirector of the national Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (www.pbis.org). Dr. Sugai also congratulated schools on implementing this system of supports with increased fidelity rates.

The North Carolina Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) initiative is part of the North Carolina State Improvement Program funded

through IDEA. PBIS is a 3-5 year process that impacts the learning environment in the schools in order to support growth in academic achievement and a reduction in behavioral problems. Schools implementing PBIS are working to integrate their Safe Schools Plans, Character Education efforts and strategies, and discipline efforts in order to make schools caring and safe communities for learning. Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support is a systematic approach that establishes and reinforces clear behavioral expectations for students and staff. The entire school staff adopts a common approach to discipline that is proactive, instructional, and outcomebased. Data is collected regularly to help teams make decisions about effective implementation.

Data is also reported to the state annually to monitor progress in each county and individual schools. The goal is to help educate all students, even those with challenging behaviors.

PBIS also incorporates an instructional approach that focuses on systematically teaching social behavior using effective instructional methodology.

Systematically teaching and implementing behavioral interventions for the most difficult students is also a key component.

This school year continues to be successful as RCS has several more schools who are PBIS schools and are working toward implementation of PBIS with high fidelity and these schools include: Reidsville High School and RCS Early College. Bethany Elementary and Moss Street Elementary were recently trained in the initial phase of PBIS and are beginning their implementation as well.

Congratulations to RCS' 2011-2012 Green Ribbon and Model Banner Schools!

Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler has been working very closely with movie industry leaders to find best locations for a new movie. Production crews recently filmed parts of “The Ultimate Life” in Rockingham County.

According to Metzler, "There are many sources of economic development … not just traditional business expansions. Movie production within tourism is a great form of economic development.

Film crews, production workers and actors will dine, shop, buy gas, purchase materials for props, support local business, and therefore, boost County revenue.”

“The Ultimate Life” is a follow-up to the best-selling book and major motion picture, “The Ultimate Gift,” by Jim Stovall. Michael Landon Jr. is the director and Rick Eldridge is the producer. The movie involves a family challenge a young man experiences after receiving an inheritance from his grandfather. The filming in Rockingham County and Rowan County will depict the grandfather’s earlier life in eastern Texas.

“Rockingham County is blessed with scenic, natural beauty including rivers, mountains, and gorgeous wooded land. We know our County is beautiful so we’re grateful that Landon sees our potential for future endeavors,” Metzler said.

“Local businesses and citizens were excited to throw out the red carpet, share our southern hospitality, and accommodate movie production,” Metzler added. “We hope directors and producers readily recognize the real cost savings they can accrue here while still producing a top quality product.”

Once the movie is actually released, viewers and tourists may visit, shop, photograph, and create memories at the Rockingham County locations and settings where the filming took place. Other areas in North Carolina have seen expansions in tourism recently due to increased movie productions. Metzler is counting on "The Ultimate Life" to do the same for Rockingham County.

Local MSA ranked in Top Ten Nationally sixth year in a row Rockingham County, NC— Four regional economic development partners announce that, for the sixth year in a row, the Greensboro-High Point Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) earned a Top 10 national ranking for attracting new industry among similarsized areas (metros with populations of 200,000 to 1 million).

Site Selection/magazine, a national publication catering to executives responsible for site selection and facility planning decisions around the world, ranked the Greensboro-High Point MSA sixth in the United States in 2012.

The MSA is composed of Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham counties.

“To achieve a top ten ranking under these conditions is extremely satisfying and validates that we are on the right track,” commented Dan Lynch, President of Greensboro EDA. “We believe our industry cluster strategy is working and gaining traction, and the investments we are making in our educational assets will ensure we have a future workforce well-equipped to compete in a knowledgebased economy.”

Bonnie Renfro, President of the Randolph County EDC, said, “We have much to be proud of in our area, and this ranking is the culmination of a strong regional push to increase our tax base and create new job opportunities.”

“Having a nationally recognized publication recognize our MSA to be one of the best in the country is a win for our entire region,” added Loren Hill, President of the High Point EDC. “Our area has been able to make significant project announcements over the past year, during very difficult economic times.”

Graham Pervier, President of the Rockingham County Partnership, said, “We are proud this recognition and look forward to continued collaboration and more announcements in 2013.”

Site Selection’s ranking was based upon the number of corporate real estate projects of $1 million or greater announced in the metro area in 2012.

Reidsville Middle Receives Exemplary Reading Award Reidsville Middle School (RMS) has been selected as the recipient of the 2012-2013 Exemplary Reading Award by the North Carolina Reading Association (NCRA). Reidsville Middle School was presented the award during the General Session

RCC Begins Pilot Manufacturing Course

RCC Walking Trails Dedicated A few years ago, health and economic visionaries imagined walking/biking trails throughout Rockingham County.

Some trails, like several at Rockingham Community College, already existed. Others were proposed.

Today, over 17 miles of trails and greenways can be found throughout the county, 6 surround RCC. Thanks to a $27,500 grant from the Reidsville Area Foundation and work by volunteers from Rockingham Community College and the Dan River Basin Association, two and one-half miles of the original six miles of RCC trails have recently been restored and a kiosk has been built which will house trail information.

“This project is another example of how Rockingham Community College is partnering with other organizations to make our educational and recreational opportunities open to the public,” said RCC President, Dr. Michael Helmick. “We welcome the pub-

lic to our campus and hope they enjoy the new trail system.”

On March 2, in conjunction with the Dan River Basin Association, a formal dedication ceremony was held at 1 p.m. at the college and the trails were officially reopened.

“The RCC trails range from easy to difficult, will all be clearly marked and color coded, and will have informational plaques,” said Dr. Tony Gunn, RCC associate vice president for facilities and external affairs. “We are planning to build trail off-shoots that will provide exercise opportunities for those who want to walk shorter distances.”

Research conducted by the Dan River Basin Association shows that walking trails offer great benefits in terms of economic impact, property value, citizens’ health, tourism, transportation options, and cultural/historical awareness.

RCC staff will help maintain the trails.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued from Page 10 of the NCRA annual conference at the Raleigh Convention Center on March 11, 2013.

A committee from the NC Reading Association visited the school in January to see the school’s literacy program in action. Jane Kline, Chair of the NCRA Exemplary Reading Committee, stated “The school wide Sustained Silent Reading program is a necessary foundation for improved student progress in the amount and types of reading. What makes this program noteworthy is the application of this changed reading behavior in every content area classroom and for each individual student.

Individualized student conferences based on interest and progress reinforce district and school literacy goals. The continuity of this program is established through the connections and specific literacy events with elementary and high schools of the district.

Becoming known as the "Reads-ville" of Reidsville will promote literacy expectations throughout the community.”

Rockingham County Sheriff’s “Deputy of the Month” – February 2013 The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office would like to congratulate Sheriff’s Detective Ray Joyce on being chosen as “Deputy of the Month” for his outstanding contributions to the Sheriff’s Office and the Rockingham County citizens we serve during the month of February 2013.

Detective Ray Joyce is a nine year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office and is currently assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division, where he has served for about two years. His previous work assignments at the Sheriff’s Office have been in the Detention and Patrol Divisions.

“I thank Detective Ray Joyce for all he does for the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Rockingham County. “ –Sheriff Sam Page

Reidsville Area Foundation Renovates Downtown Building The historic building at 124 South Scales Street is receiving a renovation through the Reidsville Area Foundation (RAF) that will benefit that organization, other nonprofits, and make a positive contribution to downtown Reidsville. The building was built over 100 years ago and beginning in 1922 served as a Belk Department Store.

The anticipated project completion date will allow Foundation staff to move into the facility by the end of June 2013.

“The assets of The Reidsville Area Foundation came from the merger of Annie Penn Hospital with the Cone Health System.

Though we are based in Reidsville, the Foundation serves all of Rockingham County,” stated Donna Rothrock, Board Chair. “Since it is organized to exist in perpetuity, we wanted to own our office building as a way of minimizing operating costs.

The decision to purchase and renovate the building was also motivated by the Foundation’s desire to provide incubator space for other nonprofit organizations. A major portion of the ground level will be used by nonprofits. Craig Cardwell, Executive Director, stated that “in addition to RAF staff and interns, space will initially be provided for four organizations which employ five staff. RAF will help them reduce their operating costs by sharing meeting areas, telephone systems, and other support. By assisting nonprofits in this way, we further benefit the citizens of Rockingham County.

The building’s ground level alone provides sufficient office and meeting space to justify the renovation project. But the 5,000 square feet on the second floor is an additional bonus. According to Board Chair Rothrock, “the second floor has great potential for the community and the county. We have discussed renovating the second floor for uses that range from a continuing education facility, arts incubator, additional nonprofit offices or a combination of uses.

After our staff is settled on the first floor, we will seek input from the community as we decide the best use of the second floor of the building.”

RAF has approved over $16 million in grants since it began funding in Rockingham County in 2002. Funding areas are healthcare, human services, education, community development and economic development. “While funding has been provided for basic

Notes from RCC Agricultural Entrepreneurs: We’ve Got Something You Need Trees, crops, cattle. These are all agricultural businesses.

Herbal soap, jams, pickles.

When you grow the product, these are agricultural businesses, too.

All of these businesses have a common goal: to operate effectively in order to enjoy the highest profit margin possible.

And that’s the catch. How do you know what prices the market can bear? How can you determine the best logistics to get your product to market? What is the best market? How do you know where you are wasting money?

What can you do between growing seasons?

Once every week for eight weeks, Debi Joyce will be instructing the NC REAL Agricultural Entrepreneurship

program. In addition to pricing, logistics and marketing, Joyce will discuss the nuts and bolts of business development and management, finance and regulatory requirements, quality and safety standards and more.

She has the information, resources and contacts you need to run your operation more efficiently and effectively, as well as to take an idea or project from feasibility to business planning.

This is a hands-on, interactive program beneficial to urban farmers, crop producers, chicken producers, flower farmers and anyone who grows a marketable agricultural commodity.

Classes will be held on Thursdays, 6-9 p.m., April 11May 30 at Rockingham Community College in room 105

Health Tips About Sleep Apnea!

Could You Have Sleep Apnea?

Does your snoring raise the dead—or at least prompt a swift kick? Has your partner or spouse said that you gasp or snort, or make choking sounds while asleep? Are you finding yourself way too drowsy during the day, despite getting a "good night's sleep"?

These can be major signs of a common disorder called sleep apnea. Other signs may include: Waking often to urinate, Morning headaches, Memory or concentration problems, Irritability, depression, or mood swings, Dry mouth or sore throat upon awakening With sleep apnea, you breathe shallowly or have regular pauses in your breathing that can last from a few seconds to minutes. This may occur when the airway collapses or becomes blocked from extra tissue or other causes. Breathing pauses can happen many times a night, often moving you out of deep sleep into light sleep. News flash: your body and brain need oxygen—and lots of it! Sleep apnea can be serious. It isn't something to ignore. The problem is, lots of people don't know they have it because there is no simple test to detect the condition. And your doctor can't confirm it during a routine office visit. Feeling tired a lot may be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Sleepiness can lead to work-related or driving accidents. And, if left untreated, sleep apnea can also increase the risk of: High blood pressure, Heart attack, Stroke, Obesity, Diabetes, Heart failure, Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Suddenly that signature snoring seems a little less funny, doesn't it? If you have signs of sleep apnea, have a conversation with your physician. You might need a sleep study to confirm a diagnosis.

Snoring doesn't always mean you have sleep apnea. A sleep study tests how well you sleep and how your body responds to any problems with sleep. Among other things, it measures the amount of oxygen in your blood, air movement in and out of your nose, and chest movements. It also records brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, and blood pressure. This study is often done in a sleep center or sleep lab. If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, many things can help. Sometimes just dropping some pounds, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol or sedatives can make a difference.

Also, sleeping on your side instead of your back can help keep your throat open. Ask your doctor whether allergy medicines or nasal sprays might help keep your nasal passages more open at night. Remember—I can help you find products in our store. If you need treatment, a sleep doctor may recommend one of several options. These include a custom-made oral appliance to move your jaw forward, a device with a one-way nasal valve called Provent Therapy, or a breathing device called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). These all work in slightly different ways.

Some people also benefit from surgery to widen breathing passages. If one approach doesn't work well, be sure to follow up with your doctor. Of course, I'll also answer any questions I can.

Sweet dreams!

“Shine, Chardonnay, & Hops on the Square” Saturday, April 20, in downtown Reidsville, Market Square will be “hopping”, with an all new festival. “Shine, Chardonnay & Hops on the Square” is a group effort being led by the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce. According to Diane Sawyer, Reidsville Chamber President, “We had been talking about this idea for a couple of years.

After meeting with the City of Reidsville Marketing Department and the Reidsville Downtown Corporation, we decided to move forward and bring this great idea to fruition.

In the past Market Square hosted ‘Arts on the Square,’ which was a similar concept but on a much smaller scale. This event is designed to showcase wineries, craft beer makers, distillers and artisans. Of course when we were looking at what could be offered, we looked inside our own community.

Rockingham County is home to wineries, beer manufacturer MillerCoors and Piedmont Distillers, Cat Daddy Moonshine. Also, Rockingham Community College is kicking off a new Craft Beer Course, which is being taught by MillerCoors, so we thought this was the perfect time to establish this event. The business community has embraced the festival by providing sponsorships. Our three Presenting Sponsors are Reidsville Florist & Gifts, LLC, who has not only given dollars but has also really assisted in recruiting the wineries, Cone Health/Annie Penn Hospital and MillerCoors. Other sponsors include Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority, who supplied grant funds, Piedmont Natural Gas, Amcor, Reidsville Community Bank, Chateau Morrisette and Piedmont Distillers, to name a few.”

The festival will also include upscale artisans and food vendors.

Molly Laura Dowdy, 9, chose to write her paper on Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page. Molly has been a long time fan of Sheriff Page, who frequently visits her school and has come to several of her Girl Scout Pack meetings over the past few years.

Molly and her mother brought the paper to the Sheriff’s Office on Friday February 22nd to show Sheriff Page, who was

both honored and humbled that Molly had chosen him to write about. He rewarded Molly for doing such a great job on her paper by allowing her to take a seat in “The Big Chair” behind

his desk in his office. Molly was thrilled. “Molly is a wonderful child. I am very lucky to have her as my friend and I am honored she chose me to write about as her hero.” – Sheriff Sam Page

DRBA April outing on Mayo River

Boaters navigate through a Native American fish weir on the Mayo River, a structure participants will see on the Dan River Basin Association's April 6 First Saturday Outing, which is open to the public without charge.

On Saturday, April 6, you're invited to share an early spring day on the beautiful Mayo River with the Dan River Basin Association. DRBA's First Saturday Outing will float six miles from Anglin Mill to NC 770 near Stoneville, NC. Meeting at 10:00 a. m. at Old Anglin Mill Road (GPS 36.52976, -79.98952), downstream from Anglin Mill Bridge, the group will float past portions of the Mayo River State Park.

Co-coordinators for the trip are Chad Lange and Wayne Kirkpatrick, both experienced paddlers and river enthusiasts.

"Beginning paddlers are invited to launch below Mayo Beach for a fairly easy float through mostly Class 1 waters," says Kirkpatrick.

"There's one tricky rapid just below the put-in that can be avoided by putting in downstream from it."

Expert paddlers with a yen for more thrills will have the option of running the famous "Boiling Hole" and the "S-turn" (alias "Blender") before proceeding with the rest of the trip.

Otherwise the most excitement comes from navigating small rapids through several 1000-year-old fish weirs created in the river by Native Americans and used by local residents until about 1900. "The vee-shaped stone fish weirs concentrated migrating fish at the point of the vee, where they were collected in nets or baskets," says North Carolina historian Lindley Butler, who has studied the history of the region.

Great spawning runs came from the Atlantic, up the Roanoke and Dan, into the Mayo River and its tributaries, where the fish laid their eggs and headed back downstream. For cen-

turies, until dams stopped the fish migrations, people who lived near the river made huge catches that fed their communities or provided a living.

Nowadays, the fish weirs provide routes through shallow water, enhancing the interest of the float.

Portions of the land along this section of the river are part of North Carolina's Mayo River State Park. "The Mayo River is one of the region's great treasures," adds Butler, one of DRBA's founders who helped secure the Mayo River State Park designation. "The unspoiled beauty of the river, with forested banks, wildlife, birds, and few signs of civilization make it a perfect get-away within easy reach of Piedmont North Carolina and Virginia."

At this time of year, watch for wildflowers in bloom, including pink wild azalea along the edge of the water. Layers of azalea, mountain laurel, and rhododendron climb the banks to a thick forest cover. Songbirds migrating through or claiming nesting territory will join waterfowl, such as ducks, herons, and kingfishers, along the route.

Participants in the outing are asked to bring boat, life jacket, lunch and water, to dress in layers of wool or artificial (quick-drying) fabric, and to sign a waiver.

Expect the water to be cool at this time of year, and be prepared to get wet.

To reach the put-in, from US 220 north of Stoneville, exit onto Smith Road (SR 1360) and turn west. Go four miles to a T-intersection with

American Sign Language (ASH) is a language that can bind all individuals together. A patient that is deaf or medically nonverbal (ex. stroke) could communicate their needs and wants to the medical staff by signing.

Could you imagine laying there knowing what you want to say but cannot verbalize it? If everyone would know the basic of signing then

Mitchell

less confusion or misdiagnosis could be eliminated. A patient has a right to have input on "all" medical treatment and understand all diagnoses. They have the right to voice their opinion even if it's not verbally and by signing. Sign language could help an individual with speech delays, Autism and so many more to list. By understanding Sign Language, you are opening up the lines of communication with children and adults who has a medical condition that limits their speech or hearing making both your job and the patients lives

easier. Hear our voices with our hands provides basic sign language classes in a In-Home setting.

You may contact Kim or Brian at 336-627-3283. Our office hours are Monday through Fridays, 8am to 6pm.

Evening and weekends appointments are available on request. Please come join by giving everyone a voice.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued from Page 18 install two new steel access ramps, one in Ruffin and one in Madison, on Saturday, March 16.

The first ramp will be installed at 104 Trailer Drive in Ruffin, beginning at 8 a.m. The second ramp will be installed at 253 Landreth Road in Madison, beginning at 1 p.m. Each ramp is expected to take about 90 minutes to install.

According to project leader, Martha Hopkins, president of the Eden Rotary Club, this is part of a matching grant opportunity that is provided by the Rotary District Qualified Grant program.

Rockingham County clubs applied collectively to receive matching funds from a district pool of funds made available for local projects by the Rotary International Foundation.

This is the second, much broader phase of a project that began last year with the installation of a steel ramp in Eden provided by the Eden Rotary Club. This year the clubs, with the match will provide $6,000 in funding toward the installation of these two ramps with additional support of almost $1,000 from Caregivers of Rockingham County. Adding the funds from this year to the previous year’s match of $1,300 brings Rotary’s investment in this service to $7,300.

In addition to the funding, the “hands-on aspect” of the project is equally important. Volunteers from all four clubs and the ramp team from Caregivers of Rockingham County will be on hand to learn how to assemble these ramps with the thought that when these ramps in these locations are no longer required, the teams can disassemble the units and take them to a new location. This has its advantage over a wooden ramp because once they are in they usually cannot be taken down and reused somewhere else.

Reidsville High Baseball Complex named Ernest “Ernie” Holcomb Stadium Reidsville High School will name its baseball complex for longtime head coach Ernest “Ernie” Holcomb. The Rockingham County School Board voted unanimously, March 11, 2013 to name the high school baseball complex after Holcomb, who retired as head baseball coach in 2009 and as PE teacher for Reidsville High (RHS) in December of 2011.

Holcomb retired after 38.5 years of serHolcomb vice to the school district and 26 years of guiding Rams' baseball.

The Reidsville High Booster Club requested the facility be named in Holcomb’s name for his distinguished contributions to RHS’ baseball program and the Reidsville community. The request packet from the Reidsville High School Baseball Booster Club stated, “There will be future baseball coaches and Booster Clubs to continue the legacy that Holcomb has left behind. Yet it is Coach Ernest “Ernie” Holcomb who will always be the ‘heart and soul’ of the Reidsville High School Baseball Stadium. Holcomb was not only a Coach to the young men who played baseball for him, but he also served as a mentor to his players and students, teaching them the importance of education and of moral integrity, both on and off the field. If Coach Holcomb had not been the baseball coach at Reidsville High School for 26 years, there would still be a baseball field there. However, without the vision and the driving force that is Coach Holcomb, we would not have the high caliber quality stadium that we have today.”

Holcomb was in attendance at the Monday night meeting and graciously accepted the honor expressing his appreciation to the Board of Education, RHS Baseball Booster Club, Reidsville Community, his family, and all his players and coaches throughout the years.

Relay For Life Dates To Remember We are excited to focus on the many colors of Cancer this year with our theme of Colors of Hope. As Rockingham County Relay For Life 2013 approaches we have a lot of exciting things going on.

We are still recruiting teams, participants, Corporate Sponsors, and trying to reach all of the Cancer Survivors and Caregivers in the county. Below are a few of the upcoming events and deadlines.

Cancer Survivor Receptions – Each year the Rockingham County Relay For Life hosts a reception for Cancer Survivors. There will be two help this year, and each Survivor can bring one Caregiver with them as a guest.

The American Legion Post 254 plans to bring the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to Freedom Park in Eden in June this year. To successfully complete the project for our community, they need the city, individuals and businesses / Corporations to endorse theis event with their financial contributions and volunteer hours.

The aim is simple. With your support in June 2013 the local American Legion post will bring the Wall to Freedom Park for everyone to enjoy. This is a once in a lifetime event for Rockingham County and surrounding areas as well.

There are 58,267 names listed on the Wall which includes those added in 2010. Listed by

the U.S. Dept. of Defense as being killed on June 8, 1956, the first known casualty, Richard F. Fitzgibbon, Jr. or North Weymouth, MA ls listed on the Wall as well as his son Richard B. Fitzgibbon, III who was killed September 7, 1965. There are three sets of fathers and sons and 31 sets of brothers on the Wall.

The largest age group represented on the Wall is for soldiers 22 and younger with with 39.996 names. Out of that 8,282 were 19 years old, 33,103 were 18, 12 were 17 and 5 were 16. The youngest soldier at just 15 year old was PFC Dan Bullock.

997 soldiers were killed on their fist day and 1,448 were killed on their last day in

Vietnam. With a population of 475, Beallsville, OH lost 6 sons, The state of West Virginia had the highest per capita casualty rate in the nation.

“Those of us who survived the war and to the families of those who did not, we see the faces. We feel the pain that these numbers created. On earth we are haunted by these numbers because they were our friends, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters. There are no nobel wars, just noble warriors,” said David Turner, Commander Post 254.

New Opportunity for Piano & Violin Lessons Rockingham County residents will soon have a new music studio available for piano and violin lessons as Catherine Wiles has begun taking appointments at A Joyful Noise Music Studio.

Wiles will be returning to Eden in May as a 2013 graduate of Bob Jones University where she earned her Bachelor of Music in String Pedagogy.

During college Catherine studied violin with Dianne Pinner while interning as a private violin instructor and as an assistant to the Bob Jones Junior High School Orchestra.

She also performed in two nationally award-winning opera productions, served as Assistant Concertmaster of the Bob Jones University Symphony Orchestra, performed in chamber music recitals, recorded for CDs and movie soundtracks, performed as a soloist for recitals and

University productions, and was a two-time recipient of the Bob Jones University Instrumental Studies Award. While at the University, Catherine also served as a piano accompanist for a number of recitals and competitions.

“I look forward to sharing my appreciation for music and helping students advance in their skills on the violin or piano,” says Wiles.

“Music offers so many advantages for children as they are learning and developing, as well as for adults who want to develop new skills and keep their minds active.”

Sign up for a summer children’s program or make an appointment for a free introductory lesson by either calling (336)589-0227 or going online to ajoyfulnoisemusicstudio.org.

Run for your life...

by Ken White

Labels One look in my closet and you will know that I love LABELS. I do not get to wear many of the big named ones but I have collected more than a few over the years. Having the "right" label is very important to some people. The most important labels however we typical are given by other people: friend, wife, husband, mom, dad.

Labels also sometimes hold people back from doing things that otherwise would make the happy.

What about: fat , short, tall? We even give these labels to ourselves.

What label would you give yourself? On the first day of class with 11 people I had never meet before I had to say one word that would describe me. Well that was hard first of all have any of y'all ever heard me say just one word? Secondly what did I want to convey to these people who didn't know me. Thank goodness I did not have to go first. Labels hold a lot of power over us.

Just last week when I was taking the Y Bootcamp class at 5:30 am, yes its early but we are done at 6, I went by a lady and gave her a "let's go" we are almost done to encourage her.

She really was doing good. She laughed and said hey I am a grandmother give me a break.

My reply was she was the only grandmother in the class and she be proud of it.

We like to label people. It makes us feel better if we know where everybody belongs. I remember

White when the kids were small and in daycare. When I would walk in to pick them up I would hear oh that's Hanson's Dad. They didn't know my name but they were ok as long as they could put me in a category. We have all seen those name tags that say HELLO MY NAME IS ____ and then we fill in the blank. What if it wasn't your name you had to feel in?

What if you had to fill in one word that described you? I always smiled when the kids called me Hanson's Dad, I laugh when I walk into the hospital to see my wife and somebody will say there is Amy's husband. I like these labels because sometimes I get other labels that are not so good. It may surprise some of you but I can be a little stubborn, I sometimes do gossip, and according to my kids I am loud.

My closet is full of labels but so is my mirror because when I look there in the mornings I see all them. Some of them I wear proudly, some of them I try and hide, some of them I am working to change but they are mine. Do not let one label define who you are it will limit you. I can be a Dad who runs, a husband who coaches, a friend who is stubborn and so much more. Start collecting your labels and wear them proudly. My label for class this morning: HOPEFUL.

For The Fun Of It Captain Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: “Change your course 10 degree east.”

The light signals back: “Change yours, 10 degrees west.”

Angry, the captain sends: “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!”

“I’m a seaman, second class,” comes the reply.

“Change your course, sir.”

Now the captain is furious.

“I’m a battleship! I’m not changing course!”

There is one last reply. “I’m a lighthouse. Your call.”

Smart Mom A mother was walking with her four year old daughter one day when the daughter picked up something off the ground and started to put it into her mouth.

The mother stopped her and said she shouldn't do that.

"Why," asked the little girl.

"Because it’s dirty. It's been on the ground. You don't know where it's been. It probably has germs."

The little girl looked up at her mom with admiration and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Thinking quickly, the mother said, "All moms know so much.

We have to. It's on the Mommy Test. If you don't know it, you don't get to be a mommy."

The little girl pondered this for a few minutes, then her face brightened. "I get it!" she said. "If you don't pass the test, you get to be a daddy!"

"Yup," said the mom.

Rocky Mountain Two easterners were hunting in the Rocky Mountain wilderness when a huge grizzly bear sprang onto their path, reared up, and roared.

One hunter was paralyzed with fright. The other kept his presence of mind and advised calmly, “Don’t move a muscle.

Just stand like a statue, and the bear will get bored and go away.”

“H-h-how do you know?”

“Read it in a book about the Lewis and Clark expedition.”

So they stood motionless.

The bear didn’t go away, but instead drew closer and roared more furiously.

“I-I-I think the bear must’ve read that same book!” stammered the frightened hunter.

Can I play the piano once these are off?

A doctor has come to see one of his patients in a hospital. The patient has had major surgery to both of his hands.

"Doctor," says the man excitedly and dramatically holds up his heavily bandaged hands.

"Will I be able to play the piano when these bandages come off?"

"I don't see why not," replies the doctor.

"That's funny," says the man.

"I wasn't able to play it before."

The Tooth Brush A young boy came running out of the bathroom in tears.

"What's the matter???" asked his father.

"I just dropped my tooth brush in the toilet."

"Okay, don't worry, but we better throw it out in the trash" So the father picked the toothbrush out of the toilet and put it in the garbage. When he returned, the boy was holding another tooth brush.

"Isn't that my tooth brush?" the father said.

"Yes," said the boy, "and we'd better throw this one out too, because it fell in the toilet four days ago.

A Well Planned Life Two women met for the first time since graduating from high school together many years ago.

One asked the other, “You were always so organized in school. Have you had a nice life?”

“I have lived a well-planned life,” her old friend responded.

“My first marriage was to a millionaire. My second marriage was to an actor. My third husband was a preacher, and now I’m married to an undertaker.”

Her friend asked, “What do those marriages have to do with a well-planned life?”

“One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go!”

Invention “What do you think was the most important invention in all of history?” the teacher asked his class.

“The automobile,” said one student.

“The airplane,” said another.

“The nuclear submarine,” said the third.

“The credit card,” said the fourth.

Bedside Manners Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.

"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me.

When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?"

"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.

"I think you're bad luck."

Doggone Brilliant Joke

Newspaper

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund discovers that he is lost.

So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having him for lunch. The dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That dachshund nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes.

But the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine." Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet ... and, just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says..................

"Where's that darn monkey? Sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard."

A very business like paperboy knocked on the door of a house. When a woman answered, he demanded, “You haven’t paid for your paper all month. Pay up right now, or you’re off the route and you’ll be hearing from our collection agency.”

The woman looked around her yard and answered, “I’ve paid you every week, in much the same way you deliver my newspaper. Look. There’s a payment envelope in the bushes to the left, one in the bushes to the right, one up in the gutter of the porch, and one in the hole in my living room window.”

Lawyer A lawyer was cross-examining an elderly witness in a robbery case. He thought he’d capitalize on the probability that her eyesight left something to be desired.

“Mrs. Wilson, would you please tell us your age?”

“I’m seventy-eight years old,” she said proudly.

“And have you ever worn eyeglasses?”

“I carry a pair in my purse, but I hardly ever need them.”

“Is that so? Now, Mrs. Wilson, how far away from the scene of the crime were you standing?”

“I was down the street a little ways. They tell me it was sixty or seventy yards.”

“Are you absolutely certain you can see things clearly at that distance?”

“I suppose so. We’re 240,000 miles from the moon, and I can see that just fine on clear nights.”

Physics Jokes: Question: Upon entering a laboratory, you see an experiment. How do you know which class it belongs to?

Answer: If it's green and wiggles, it's biology.

If it stinks, it's chemistry.

If it doesn't work, it's physics.

Calming your son In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, "Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert."

A woman standing next to him said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son, Albert."

The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert."

Miller Coors History MillerCoors has been a cornerstone of the Eden and Rockingham County economies for more than three decades now.

Originally located here as Miller Brewing Company in 1976, Miller currently employees more the 600 people and produces more than nine million barrels of beer each year. The company was attracted to Rockingham County for its adequate water supply and its labor force.

From The Desks Of CITY HALL Mark your calendars – 10th Annual Ribfest set for May 11

Eden officers benefit from Crisis Intervention Training On March 1, Eden Police Chief Reece Pyrtle, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page, Reidsville Police Chief Charlie Dennis and other high-ranking law enforcement officials from across Rockingham County were on hand at the graduation ceremony of Crisis Intervention Training at the REMMSCO House in Reidsville.

CIT programs, sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Health, are local initiatives designed to improve the way law enforcement and the community respond to people experiencing mental health crises. They focus on strong partnerships between law enforcement, mental health provider agencies, and individuals and families affected by mental illness.

Graduating from the Eden Police Department were Sgt. Jimmy Hart and Sgt. Anthony Welch. Officers from the Reidsville and Mayodan police departments as well as the sheriff’s office also completed the week-long training.

During the ceremony, Chief Pyrtle recognized two Eden PD

City employees hold pet food drive for local non-profits In recognition of Spay and Neuter Awareness Month in February, City of Eden employees held a pet food drive to help two local organizations that save the lives of countless Eden animals. In March, the employees delivered over 785 pounds of dog and cat food to the Rockingham County Humane Society and Carolina Veterinary Assistance & Adoption Group. City Clerk Sheralene Thompson spearheaded the effort that also collected toys, treats, blankets and towels.

The Eden Fire Department was instrumental in pickup and delivery of donations. A big thank you goes out to Tractor Supply and Food Lion for their generous donations to this worthy cause.

Eden Youth Council moves ahead for 2013-14 The Eden Youth Council will hold a planning retreat April 15.

The group will get together to discuss their future plans for service projects, events and other goals that the youth want to accomplish for 2013-2014.

Currently the group plans to discuss the Adopt-A-Street project, volunteer work in the city’s donation garden and also volunteering to help with the Vietnam Memorial that will be at Freedom Park from May 30 until June 2.

The group will also plan to attend a North Carolina State Youth Conference. The formation of the Eden Youth Council was approved by the Eden City Council in May of 2012. Made up of youth from the Eden area, the Eden Youth Council provides advice to the Eden City Council

and other organizations within the city. The main purpose of the Eden Youth Council is to meet the needs of young people within the community. The Council learns about their community, civic involvement, teamwork, how to work with each other for a common good, respect for each other and the work ethics that it takes to become responsible citizens. It gives them an opportunity to develop leadership skills, practice democracy and it provides a formal role in the decision-making process as well.

Youth of all backgrounds are welcomed. We are seeking Morehead High School students, non-students, students from Rockingham Community College, private schools and home-schooled students who want to shape the future of Eden.

Applications are available now

Film crews return to the county The last week in February was an exciting one for Rockinham County, as the crew from the movie the Ultimate Life spent time throughout the County filming.

This is not the first time the movie industry has benn here to work in the last year. Scenes from the movie You Are Here was filmed in Madison last August.

When County manager Metzler recognized the impact of movies filming In the area he sent photos of locations throughout the county to the state Film Commission Executive Director Rebecca Clark. Seeing these photos, Clark came and toured different areas including Willow Oaks Plantation, Betsy-Jeff Penn 4H Camp, court houses and various school locations. This led to a call from Randy Myers, who was

looking for a location for a few scenes from the Ultimate Life that will be set in the 1940s and 50s.

In addition to some school locations they also used, locations in Madison including a set up from the former movie You Are Here in addition to the frontage of Madison Drygoods store, as well as part of Reidsville Hospital maternity-ward that has been closed.

At times State and local transportation were interrupted as streets were closed down for the actual filming process.

Extras were used from Rockinham County, Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Some fees were paid for the use of buildings and the economy had a boost by the entire cast and crew during the time of their visit

Last Ride On Chamberlain’s Ferry writen by local doctor

Luking

“Last Ride On Chamberlain’s Ferry” captures the history of a ferry and river community which now lies 75 feet beneath the surface of Clarks Hill Lake, on the Georgia-South Carolina border. The ferry was an old-timey push-pole ferry, run without benefit of an engine.

Tethered to a cable overhead, the ferryman literally walked back and forth on the flat, pushing the boat 800 feet across the Savannah River with a long pole stuck in the bottom of the river. It ran sunup til sundown, 365 days per

Recognition and presentation of plaques for outstanding dedication and service given to 9-1-1 telecommunicators and Firefighter

Niki N. Hopkins & Rockingham County Board of Commissioners On Dec. 3rd, 9-1-1 telecommunicator Niki N. Hopkins helped with the delivery of a newborn at the Huddle House parking lot in Rockingham County. Restaurant employees supported the couple until an ambulance took the couple and baby to the hospital. As the 91-1 telecommunicator, Hopkins offered advice to Huddle House employees as they assisted the baby’s parents.

yr except during floods.

There was a ferry at the site starting in the late 1700s. Dr. Steve Luking’s grandfather was the last one to operate it until it closed down with the coming dam. His grandmother raised up the family in the little ferryman’s house, giving birth to eleven babies there over a quarter of a century.

One of them was Steve’s mom.

The old homesite now is beneath 35 feet of water.

“In 2004, I realized I had to capture the story of the ferry and family and river community. I travelled back and forth to the Georgia and SC side for a long weekend every few months for four years,” Luking said.

Knocking on doors around the lake and following leads, he interviewed 90 people regarding their memories of those days.

Then, after four years of research, he spent another four years writing the book late at night. Much of the book captures how families lived the rural life back then.

Luking will hold a local book signing hosted at Barbour Studio in Eden. Located at 714 Washington Street, Eden on April 26th, 6pm - 8pm.

Luking says, “I’ve sold 1500 copies thus far between here and Georgia, and nearly daily receive

Tena H. Lawson & Rockingham County Board of Commissioners Tena H. Lawson assisted on Jan. 17th with the delivery of a newborn in a Rockingham County home. Rockingham County 9-1-1 through Emergency Medical Dispatch protocol (EMD) assisted a 9-1-1 caller with the delivery of a healthy baby boy in a Wentworth home. The female called Rockingham County 9-1-1 asking for assistance and was helped by Lawson.

Retired Firefighter Chief Dwain R. Strader & Rockingham County Board of Commissioners Commissioners also honored 36 years of dedicated service of Retired Firefighter Chief Dwain R. Strader from the Oregon Hill Fire Department. His career began as a firefighter at Oregon Hill Fire Department in October of 1976, in 1982 he was appointed chief and served in that position until 2012.

Strader was also a member of the Rockingham County Fire Chief’s Council serving as Chairman from 1989-1990.

a letter from someone who tells me how much the book means to them. One Eden resident told me “If it weren’t for the river and the ferry, you told my family’s story.”

Luking is one of two family physicians comprising Reidsville

DSS Joins in "Child Abuse Prevention Month" Pinwheel Graden April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! On April 1st, the Rockingham County Department of Social Services will join thousands of communities throughout North Carolina and the nation in recognizing Child Abuse Prevention month with a pinwheel garden. The pinwheel is the new symbol of child abuse prevention, representing community efforts to provide children with the safe, stable, nurturing relationships they need for healthy development.

Rockingham County Department of Social Services dedicated a pinwheel garden at the flag pole area of the Rockingham County Governmental Center on April 1st, at 10 a.m. This year, the number of pinwheels planted will represent each child in foster care in Rockingham County.

The pinwheel represents the bright future all children deserve.

It represents the hope that all children in our community have a stable, loving relationship needed to become successful, contributing adults. Communities that support policies and programs to encourage children’s healthy development in all areas of their lives ensure the communities future prosperity.
