Letter to the Editor To aware citizens it’s crystal clear: THE IRS MUST GO! There is no place for an institution like the IRS in a society of free people such as the citizens of the USA. The IRS can and does, WITHOUT CAUSE, bring financial ruin to any citizen or small business it chooses. The congress, which both created and empowered the IRS, already has sufficient evidence to abolish the IRS but has made no move to do so. We all must contact our congressmen, both representative and senators, and insist the IRS be abolished. If he/she doesn’t make a move to abolish the IRS
before the November elections, tell him/her you intend to vote for his/her opponent in November; then do it! It’s that simple. The legislation replacing the income tax with a national sales tax, the FairTax, has already been thoroughly researched and written. It’s been stymied by the House Ways and Means committee for over ten years! All citizens should inform themselves about the FairTax (see fairtax.org). Then tell your congressmen, in the most forceful way possible, to adopt it. Submitted by: Glen E Terrell ggeett37@gmail.com
Letter To Editor Fathers are special people to us. Mine was a wonderful man who raised eight children on his own and gave us everything in the world that we needed and not everything we wanted. He passed away in April of 2008 and since then, I have always tried to keep him beautiful flowers on his grave. I went to his grave on Fathers Day to put new arrangements and to my surprise the following week I returned to find his grave empty no flowers and no flags. I checked the barn where flowers are put when the wind
Letter to the Editor
Pleasant View: “We are EXPANDING!!!”
The elders of First Presbyterian Church of Eden would like to express our deep disappointment in elected leaders of the Presbyterian Church (USA), who recently voted to authorize same-gender marriages in our denomination (wherever it is legal to do so). We soundly disapprove of the new policy, which includes a radical redefinition of marriage as applying to any two people. With love for all and hatred toward none, our understanding of the Bible compels us to affirm the traditional Presbyterian – and nearly universal Christian – definition of marriage as a binding covenant between one man and one woman. Although our future rela-

Letter to the editor Hi everyone! We expect it every summer and it has happened again. Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming
weeks. If you could help us out by mentioning it, we would greatly appreciate it. People can make appointments by calling 1-800REDCROSS or going to http://www.redcrossblood.org/ Please let me know if you need anything! Thanks for your help!

Families put flowers on graves of loved ones because they are not here for us to show them love and we put flowers on their graves to take place of seeing them.

The city is receiving an estimated $80,000 playground free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation and KaBOOM! The new playground will bring more than 500 kids in Eden one step closer to having the childhood they deserve. The City of Eden has nine park areas with multi amenities, ranging from athletic fields, playgrounds, walking tracks, gymnasiums, etc. that helps keep the children in the City very active, as well as a wellrounded parks and recreation program that allows children to participate in a wide variety of activities. The new playground at the Morgan Road Park site will enhance this area and give the children in the area a new place to play and enjoy themselves. The playground is the first of two in Rockingham County being built by KaBOOM! and the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust as part of Healthy Places NC, a long-term Trust initiative to improve the health of 10 to 15 low-income, rural North Carolina counties over the next decade. The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust supports KaBOOM! in promoting and protecting a child's right to active play at home, at school and in the community. The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust was established in 1947 and is now one of the largest private trusts in North Carolina. Its mission is to improve the quality of life and quality of health for the financially needy of North Carolina. The Poor and Needy Division responds to basic life needs and invests in solutions that improve the quality of life and health for financially needy residents of Forsyth County.

Wells Fargo Bank, NA serves as sole trustee. www.kbr.org KaBOOM! is the national non-profit dedicated to the bold new goal of ensuring that all children, particularly the 16 million American children living in poverty, get the balanced and active play they need to thrive. KaBOOM! has been a powerful champion for play since its founding in 1996, working with partners to build, improve and open more than 15,000 playgrounds, engage more than 1,000,000 volunteers and serve more than 6,600,000 children. KaBOOM! creates and catalyzes great places to play, inspires, empowers and leads play advocates, and educates and elevates the societal conversation about the importance of play in children's lives.

Dodson, Frazier and Foeller Receive Emeritus Status Retired Rockingham Community College professors Nathan Lee Dodson and C. Michael Frazier and were recently honored at the college as professor emeritus. In addition, Robert J. Foeller received the rank Dean of Library Services Emeritus as a posthumous honor. The ceremony was held during the July 15, Board of Trustee meeting. Dodson began teaching at RCC in 1977. Since his arrival, student evaluations from his classes in religion, philosophy, sociology, ethics and anthropology always included praise for his extensive knowledge of the disciplines, passion for teaching, and concern for students. One of the first instructors to bring technology into the classroom, Dodson began teaching telecourses and eagerly offered classroom instruction using Blackboard and Moodle applications. Earlier this year, Professor Dodson was honored with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the North Carolina Sociological Association where he served on the Executive Council since the 1980s. While serving the larger academic community, Dodson was very busy serving the college and its students. As editor of The Rock, RCC’s student newspaper, he recorded campus history and disseminated information in monthly editions of the paper until his retirement in 2013. His service included the college’s Technologies and Distance Education Committees, advising the Musician’s Guild and performing as part of the college’s musical group, Campus Tradition. Professor Dodson was awarded the rank of Professor in 1996 and served as the chair of the Faculty Rank Committee from that time until his retirement. As a founding member of the North Carolina Community College Faculty Association, Dodson’s leadership gave faculty a political voice and provided professional development opportunities. Frazier began his career at
RCC in 1987 as the lead instructor of the Electrical Installation and Maintenance program. Through the ensuing 26 years he served in many capacities that ranged from instructor, program coordinator, interim dean and division dean. In every capacity in which he served, Mr. Frazier was always working to keep his courses and equipment as cutting edge as possible so that he could make his students as marketable as possible. Professor Frazier served on numerous statewide committees including those for curriculum design and improvement. His service on RCC committees and task forces was extensive and included his work on the curriculum creation, curriculum development, approval and implementation of RCC’s Brewing, Distillation and Fermentation Program, the first of its kind in the country. He was among the first instructors at RCC to utilize virtual labs and simulators. Outside of the classroom, he was very involved with the Amateur Radio Emergency Service—ARES—which is a corps of trained amateur radio operator volunteers organized to assist with public service and
emergency communications. Foeller is the first RCC staff member to whom the Board of Trustees has granted the title Emeritus. He came to RCC in September 1966 as a history professor. After four years of teaching Foeller left RCC to earn his Masters in Library Science and he returned here to serve as the college’s librarian. In 1980 he was appointed Director of Learning Resources and it was during this time that he instituted many changes in the library including building renovations and introducing technology. In letters of support for granting Mr. Foeller emeritus status, both former RCC Executive Vice President Dr. William Knight and Professor Phil Conte speak of the accolades members of the 1983 and 1993 visiting accreditation teams from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools gave the RCC library for its technological innovations, welcoming atmosphere, and community outreach—all direct results of Mr. Foeller’s efforts. He worked with his counterparts at the state level to create the interlibrary loan system among the North Carolina’s community
colleges. He led the effort to open RCC’s library to Rockingham County residents so that they might have access to the library’s many resources. Jeff
Foeller, son of Mr. Foeller, accepted on his behalf the title of Dean of Library Services Emeritus.

Red Cross offers heat related safety tips The summer heat is on. Staying inside an air conditioned building is the best bet- but that isn’t always possible. People must continue to work in the hot conditions. Others just don’t have a cool place to retreat to. Here are some Red Cross tips for beating the heat. Responding Appropriately During a Heat Wave • Listen to a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service (NWS). • Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. • Eat small meals and eat more often. • Avoid extreme temperature changes. • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays. • Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day. • Postpone outdoor games and activities. • Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. • Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors. • Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. • Check on your animals frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat. • Caregiving – How to Treat Heat-Related Illnesses • During heat waves people are susceptible to three heat-related conditions. Here’s how to recognize and respond to them. • Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms that usually occur in the legs or abdomen. Heat cramps are often an early sign
that the body is having trouble with the heat. • Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable position. Lightly stretch the affected muscle and gently massage the area. • Give an electrolyte-containing fluid, such as a commercial sports drink, fruit juice or milk. Water may also be given. Do not give the person salt tablets. Heat exhaustion is a more severe condition than heat cramps. Heat exhaustion often affects athletes, firefighters, construction workers and factory workers. It also affects those wearing heavy clothing in a hot, humid environment. Signs of heat exhaustion include cool, moist, pale, ashen or flushed skin; headache; nausea; dizziness; weakness; and exhaustion. Move the person to a cooler environment with circulating air. Remove or loosen as much clothing as possible and apply cool, wet cloths or towels to the skin. Fanning or spraying the person with water also can help. If the person is conscious, give small amounts of a cool fluid such as a commercial sports drink or fruit juice to restore fluids and electrolytes. Milk or water may also be given. Give about 4 ounces of fluid every 15 minutes. If the person’s condition does not improve or if he or she refuses water, has a change in consciousness, or vomits, call 91-1 or the local emergency number. Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that usually occurs by ignoring the signals of heat exhaustion. Heat stroke develops when the body systems are overwhelmed by heat and begin to stop functioning. Signs of heat stroke include extremely high body temperature, red skin which may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing; confusion;

vomiting; and seizures. Heat stroke is life-threatening. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number immediately. Preferred method: Rapidly cool the body by immersing the person up to the neck in cold water, if possible OR douse or spray the person with cold water. Sponge the person with ice water-doused towels over the entire body, frequently rotating the cold, wet towels. Cover the person with bags of ice. If you are not able to measure and monitor the person’s temperature, apply rapid cooling methods for 20 minutes or until the person’s condition improves. About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Funding for this program has been challenging in past years. You can help by donating your used vehicle to the program. Titles are not needed for vehicles more than 10 years old.

Murray named County’s new Strategic Management Director Paul Murray recently joined Rockingham County Government as the new Strategic Management Director. He leads the County’s performance measurement and outcome budgeting initiative and replaces Adam Lindsay who moved last Oct. to become Assistant Town Manager of the Town of Southern Pines. “Doing more with less and operating as efficiently as possible underscore why we need a Strategic Management Director. This role is especially important during very tight budget times to ensure accountability,” said County Manager Lance Metzler. "The expectation is that Paul will work with each department to analyze each process and determine if the workflow is effective or excessive. If he can determine more efficient ways to provide the same services, then we can optimize our use of staff time and streamline many processes where some have been quite tedious in the past," the County Manager explained. Murray served as Budget and Management Analyst for Catawba County Government where he was the lead analyst for virtually all County departments and Funds at some point. He has also worked jointly as Community Development Coordinator for Person County Government and Executive Director of Roxboro Development Group. The Catawba County Performance Dashboard was created by Murray and enabled Catawba County to win a National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Award in 2013. In addition, he contributed to Catawba County receiving the Government Finance Officers Assoc. (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award

RCC HVAC Students Assist with Habitat for Humanity Construction This summer students and faculty in the Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Technology (HVAC) program are lending a helping hand to Habitat for Humanity while getting some great field experience in HVAC installation. Habitat for Humanity is in the process of finishing their 19th house located in Stoneville. The future homeowner is paralyzed and is unable to walk or stand. This is Habitat for Humanity’s first handicapped accessible home. The energy efficiency of this home is top notch. Icynene insulation is being installed and will provide the homeowner with years of substantial energy sav-
ings on their heating and cooling bills. Also, a special design for the crawlspace involves sealing and pressurizing to ensure minimal heat loss or gain. The HVAC students will test the duct system for leakage using a duct pressurization test and a whole house infiltration test called a blower door test. The testing is a requirement for all new HVAC installations and these skills are taught as part of the Green Building Concepts class. Steve Underwood, Owner of Heat and Air Controllers located in Eden explained, “The HVAC industry is in need of skilled employees and especially skilled Installation Mechanics.” As a part-time instructor at RCC,
Underwood understands the importance of a good working knowledge of HVAC basics and building codes for anyone entering the HVAC field. Students in the HVAC program have many options when making a career path selection. Both Johnathan James and Matthew Bonds are both parttime employees with a local HVAC company and are enrolled in the program. Bonds likes the hands on activities in the class and hopes to own his own business one day. “I really enjoyed installing the system in the Habitat for Humanity house because it gave me a chance to show my knowledge of installing a complete system,” shared James.
The skills taught in RCC’s HVAC program will always be in high demand. What graduates can count on is good pay and a variety of career options. For more information about enrolling in the HVAC Program at Rockingham Community College call Keith Sigmon at 342-4261, Ext. 2226. For the fun of it

Museum hosts fundraiser with Summer Soirée Wentworth – The Museum & Archives of Rockingham County (the MARC) will host its premier fundraiser, the Summer Soirée, on Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at Deep Springs Country Club in Stoneville, North Carolina. In addition to both silent and live auctions, the museum will have a drawing for a 35-bottle wine cooler and three cases of fine wine with which to fill it. No two bottles of wine will be the same. The wine comes from WineStyles Tasting Station at the Shops on Friendly in Greensboro. The silent and live auctions will feature a number of items, including three original pieces by Rockingham County artist Leigh Rodenbough, fine jewelry, gift baskets, vacations, and a foursome round of golf at Deep Springs Country Club with carts included. Entertainment will be provided by Trio Indigo, a jazz trio from Greensboro. While the museum receives grants and donations from corporations and foundations to fund specific projects, like exhibits, artifact management and technology needs, most funds for its operations come from individuals. The net proceeds from this fundraiser will support the museum’s daily operations and programming. “History museums serve a vital role in the life of every community,” says Director Kim Proctor. “This is where we store and share our history, heritage and culture for present and future generations. After two years, we are building momentum and the launch of this annual gala and fundraiser continues that momentum.” Tickets for the Soirée are $50 each, and the raffle tickets for the fully stocked wine cellar are also $50 each. Only 200 raffle tickets will be sold. The owner of the winning ticket does not have to be present to win. For tickets, sponsorship opportunities, or more information, contact the MARC at
MARCconnection@gmail.com, visit the MARC web site at www.themarconline.org or call the museum at 336-634-4949. In Greensboro, raffle tickets are available at WineStyles Tasting Station at the Shops at Friendly, 3326 W. Friendly Avenue, Suite 141, telephone 336-299-4505. Volunteers: What Would We Do Without You? At the Museum & Archives of Rockingham County we depend heavily on our volunteer staff. Volunteers are one of the most crucial components of running a successful museum. When the museum is open, volunteers greet visitors, answer questions, operate the museum store and lead tours as needed. Even when the museum is not open, we need help answering phones, typing, filing, assembling mailings and organizing the office. Other volunteer opportunities include receiving and processing artifacts, computer/data entry, cleaning, sewing, gardening and more. Even with the dedication and hard work of our active volunteers we are still several people short each month. Can you help? Your time at the MARC will give you the opportunity to meet other people with similar interests, develop lasting friendships and enjoy an enriching experience. Your efforts help us make sure that the museum continues to be a cultural and educational resource for our community. We appreciate any time and energy you can spare. For further information about volunteer opportunities visit our web-site at www.themarconline.org, click the “Support the MARC” Tab, choose the the “Volunteer” option. To sign up for a training session, contact Debbie Cummings, Volunteer Coordinator, at (336) 634-4949 or by e-mail to MARCconnection@gmail.com. Please put the word “VOLUNTEER” in the subject line.

Q & A’s: Medication Safety In Children!
Curiosity kills more than the cat…. Did you know that medications are the top cause of poisoning in kids? Together, we can help change that! To get started, here are a few answers to some questions parents commonly ask about medication safety for kids. 1. Where should I store medications? People may call it the “medicine cabinet,” but it’s not a good place to store medications. Bathrooms are moist and can lower the strength of a medication. Plus, they’re a little too easy for little hands to get into. Instead, keep drugs, eye drops, and vitamins out of sight and out of reach of children. Try a high place, such as a hall closet or kitchen shelf. Don’t forget that a curious kid may easily find medicine in a purse or dresser drawer. 2. How should I measure medicine? With young children, it’s especially important to get the dosing right. Always use the dosing device that comes with the medicine. Measuring spoons or other home utensils aren’t the same as a medication syringe or cup. If you use a syringe, try squirting the medicine on the inside of the cheek where there are fewer taste buds. If your child takes the wrong dosage, call me right away. I can tell you whether or not it’s cause for concern. Or call Poison Control for assistance as well. 3. Does a spoonful of sugar help the medicine go down? Some medicines can taste pretty nasty to a child! It may be okay to mix a liquid medication with chocolate or maple syrup. However, don’t do this for babies. If they don’t finish a bottle, they won’t get the right amount of medication. And check with me before crushing and mixing a tablet or capsule with food. 4. Is it okay to share prescription medications? No matter how similar their symptoms, don’t have your kids share medications. And never repackage them. Keep medications in their original childproof container. 5. How long can my child use a medication? Be sure to not use drugs past their expiration date. Most drugs lose their strength after about a year. If you have any question about whether or not to use a drug, talk with your child’s doctor or me. 6. Are OTC drugs safe for kids? Be sure to read labels. Not all over-the-counter (OTC) medications are safe for children of all ages. Of course, never give aspirin to any child—it can cause serious illness, even death. Make sure you know a drug’s potential side effects. But stay alert to any adverse reactions. Kids can be more sensitive to drugs than adults. For example, cold medications can cause excitability or severe drowsiness in kids, even at lower doses. The FDA recommends that you not use OTC cough and cold medications in children younger than age two. Rest, clear fluids, and a humidifier may be the best route to recovery from colds and flu. Remember: There’s no substitute for getting your specific questions answered. I’m here to personally talk with you about your child’s medications. I can also suggest OTC drugs and discuss any concerns you have about side effects. If you don’t remember a question until you’re home, that’s okay. Just give me a call. Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition. BE SAFE HEADING BACK TO SCHOOL!

festivals of our great-grandparents' days, we hope to celebrate the way of life they may have had during the period of 1870 thru 1930. They did not enjoy the amusement rides that we do today, but what did they have? From research so far, it appears contests, games, and music are what brought them together at the end of the harvest season. They showed off and competed in areas such as canned garden items, jams, jellies, and preserves. They sold some of their year's production and baked goods. They had beard growing contests, and best dressed contests. In keeping with those days, We will be holding some of those contests along with sack races, a cake walk, best dressed woman and man in period costumes , and a judging of preserves, jams and jellies. Vendor space will be available for those wishing to sell their garden produce, handmade crafts, antiques. or memorabilia of old Eden. The public is encouraged to bring any photos or other items to show and share with our community. We will have professionals on hand to help you learn how to protect your family's heirloom pieces, papers, and photos. Local musicians who can perform the music of those days are requested to contact us to perform for the event. Artisans are welcome. There is no admission charge for the event. For further information or vendor space rental, contact David Clay at 427-5711, Susan Freeman at 573-9900, or Louise Price at 623-1043.

For the fun of it The Wrong Way As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Highway 401. Please be careful!" "Darnl," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

What a “Patriot” Reporter Saw and Learned in this Town. From: The Greensboro Patriot 16 Dec. 1887, provided by the Museum and Archives of Rockingham County (MARC)
This beautiful and prosperous town is situated 20 miles Southwest of Danville, Va., and 12 miles Northwest of Reidsville, near the waters of Smiths River in Rockingham county[sic], being the terminus of DM & SW Railroad. Ten years ago Leaksville was almost unknown in North Carolina, now she has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, 4 dry goods stores, 1 clothing store, 2 grocery stores, 2 millinery stores, 3 mantna maker shops, 6 tobacco factories, 1 drug store, 1 jewelry shop, 3 warehouses, 1 harness shop, 2 shoe shops, 1 coach and buggy factory, 3 blacksmith shops, 1 dentist, 2 hotels, 2 furniture stores, 1 high school, 1 cotton factory, 1 woolen mill, 2 flouring mills, 2 grist mills, 1 foundry, 4 white churches, 1 colored church, 1 taylor shop, 2 saw mills, 1 newspaper, 2 restaurants, 1 barber shop, 1 stencil cutter, 1 tinner, a market house, a town hall 50x60 feet, and 1 hardware store. The following is a partial list of the business men of the town: Messrs. Moir & Price, proprietors of the Leaksville clothing house occupy a building 22x60 feet, on main street, opposite the Central Hotel, and deal in clothing and gents’ furnishing goods they keep on hand a firstclass stock of everything in their line, they deal strictly on a cash system thus enabling them to sell goods very low. Their capital stock is $4,000. Mr. D. R. Ellington the leading grocery man occupies a building 24x62, 2 stories, on main street, three doors above the clothing house, and carries a full line of first-class selected groceries and confectioneries… Mr. J. H. Hampton proprietor of the Leaksville coach and buggy factory, manufactures all styles of carriages, buggies and wagons… He uses the best grade of material, and the workmanship is first-class. Why do our people send their mony[sic] North when Southern manufacture is far superior. Mr. B. F. Ivey, dealer in groceries, occupies a building opposite the Leaksville Warehouse on Main Street, and handles a firstclass stock of goods… He came there a few years past a poor man. Mr. A. L. Younts, furniture dealer, keeps always on hand a full line of the best grade of work. He also keeps first-class coffins and casket, both wood and mettle[sic], and manufacturer shuck and straw mattresses… Mr. J. C. Harris the livery man keeps first-class horses and vehicles to convey drummers and others to and from the different points across the country. His stock is always ready and in fine order at very reasonable prices. Rev. D. E. Field, general dry goods dealer, keeps on hand a
first-class stock of goods, and anything in that line you call for. He is a clever honest dealer and deserves a liberal patronage. Prof. B. W. Ray is principle of the Leaksville practical high school… This school has been in operation 2 years and has enrolled about 100 students male and female, is represented from Virginia, North and South Carolina… Mr. A. T. Hopper, Propr. of the Central Hotel, is one of the most clever men I ever met. He uses every effort to make the stay of his guests pleasant… This hotel is located in the business part of the town and is highly recommended. This town is connected with Reidsville by a daily hack line, run by Master J. H. King, he is a bright trustworthy boy, his rates are cheap and time correct. This town is located as it is between Dan and Smith Rivers, is almost surrounded by fine bottom land, well adapted to grain, the upland is well timbered and fertile, near the town is two fine mineral springs and being in a healthy section bids fair to add another link to our list of summer resorts and is fast growing into a first class tobacco market. Berry, a new place just opening up…, this place is owned by C. W. Mobley & Co., and consists of a store 30x60, a first-class steam saw mill, this is a new enterprise and worthy of note... They keep constantly on hand a good stock of lumber at very reasonable prices. They are goahead [sic] energetic men and deserve credit for their enterprise…

Local Hospice Represented at Advocacy in Washington, D.C. Wentworth, NC – The Hospice Action Network, a division of National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization held its annual Hospice Advocacy Intensive July 15-16th in Washington, D.C. Hospice of Rockingham County was one of 120 hospice programs from 47 states and districts represented at the conference. The Advocacy Intensive is a two-day advocacy and policy event hosted by the Hospice Action Network in Washington, D.C. The event focuses on teaching best practices in advocating
for hospice, current hospice public policy topics, and connecting hospice advocates directly with their members of congress through congressional meetings on Capitol Hill. The primary policy issue for the 2014 Intensive was the new hospice and Medicare Part D guidance recently issued by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This new guidance issued to Part D providers and the hospice community introduced a “prior authorization” process for the two groups to determine who

pays for which medications once a patient elects hospice. Hospices do not oppose the new guidance but when it was issued, CMS offered little direction and no infrastructure to ensure hospices and Part D plans could successfully implement the process without the unintended consequence of impacting patients’ ability to obtain their medications. “Unfortunately, Medicare provided little instruction to ensure that this process could be implemented without impacting the patients' access to medications. That is unacceptable,” said Lynn Flanagan, Executive Director for Hospice of Rockingham County (HRC). “Hospice of Rockingham County has participated in the Hospice Advocacy Intensive for the last two years. We feel it is extremely important to advocate for our patients and their families. Protecting access to medications for dying Medicare beneficiaries was our utmost concern this year,” said Flanagan. HRC along with Transitions LifeCare (founded as Hospice of Wake County), The Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care, and the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina met with representatives. “We had the privilege of meeting with the legislative aides working with Senator Richard Burr, Senator Kay Hagan, and Congressman Howard Coble to discuss Medicare's current guidance to Medicare Part D plans and the hospice community.” The 2014 Hospice Advocacy Intensive was declared a success by Hospice Action Network. After 330 scheduled meetings, 75 senators and 202 representatives added their names to the letters. As to the accomplishments of the Intensive, Flanagan said, “We advocated for our patients in Washington, D.C. and our voices were heard. We are so appreciative of the support from Senator Burr, Senator Hagan, and Congressman Coble as they all signed on to a letter to Administrator Tavenner to temporarily halt this prior authorization process until the appropriate infrastructure for the provider communities could be thoughtfully developed.”

tion of the outstanding quality of care that our patients receive every day across Cone Health,” says Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mary Jo Cagle. “Our goal is to be a national leader when it comes to the quality, service and cost of the healthcare we provide. Recognition such as this shows that we are delivering the highest levels of care to our patients.” Cone Health was ranked high performing in: • Cardiology & Heart Surgery • Diabetes & Endocrinology • Gastroenterology & GI Surgery • Geriatrics • Gynecology • Nephrology • Neurology & Neurosurgery • Orthopedics • Pulmonology While these services are listed by U.S. News under Moses Cone Hospital, many are performed at other Cone Health facilities. For example, gynecology services are provided at Women’s Hospital and Wesley Long Hospital. Orthopedic services are also performed at Annie Penn Hospital and Wesley Long Hospital. These rankings apply to Moses Cone Hospital, Wesley Long Hospital, Women’s Hospital and Annie Penn Hospital. For 2014-15, U.S. News evaluated hospitals in 16 adult specialties and ranked the top 50 in most of the specialties. They also recognizes hospitals that perform nearly at the level of their nationally ranked peers and represent valuable regional sources of quality care. “The data tell the story – a hospital that emerged from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of,” says U.S. News Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. “A Best Hospital has demonstrated its expertise in treating the most challenging patients.” U.S. News publishes Best Hospitals to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or extra risk because of age or multiple health problems. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties. The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C.

New medical practice to provide for low income, uninsured or Medicare/Medicaid patients Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine’s newest medical practice—Clara F. Gunn is located at 922 Third Avenue, Reidsville. Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine includes four practice locations in Greensboro, two in High Point and one in Reidsville, North Carolina. These practices provide care to 39,000 children and 15,000 adults. In 2012, these patients had more than 96,000 visits annually at the organization’s medical offices. The majority of the children and adults served have annual incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. However, Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine, accepts many private insurances, Medicaid and Medicare. To secure the care of all of our citizens in the region, a sliding fee scale program is offered for those who do not have health insurance. Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine, in collaboration with Rockingham County Healthcare Alliance worked to establish this site to meet the healthcare needs for those who are uninsured, or who have Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.
The creation of this practice will provide a primary care medical home for those with limited access to care because of their income, insurance status or lack of availability of other primary care medical facilities. It will also offer an appropriate alternative for those who seek routine medical care at the area's two emergency departments. Patients of this practice have access to comprehensive primary healthcare, behavioral healthcare services, pharmaceuticals and nutrition counseling. As part of Healthy Places NC, a long-term initiative to improve the health of rural communities, the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust made two grants to the practice to support the operation of the medical office and the purchase of medical equipment. The Clara F. Gunn medical practice also received grants for renovation and construction from the Reidsville Area Foundation and the Rural Hope Foundation. Both the Housing Authority and the City of Reidsville contributed to the expansion.

Reidsville & Wentworth On the Move in Its Fourth Year
Project SAFE Rockingham County (PSRC) is now in its fourth year of operation and the county-wide coalition between the community and law enforcement continues efforts to reduce gun and gang-related violent crime. And although the strategy is between its May and November Call-ins, important work continues over the summer months. PSRC, funded by the Rockingham County Government and the six municipalities, held its sixth Call-in in May at the Agricultural Center in Wentworth. Under the direction of the NC Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice, seventeen violent offenders were brought in and given a stern warning by law enforcement leaders to stop gun violence. From that point forward the offenders are considered notified and any subsequent firearms offense will bring the resources of the entire criminal justice system down upon the offender. Eden Police Chief Reece Pyrtle, one of the executive leaders of the coalition, sees the value behind this strategy. “The participating agencies have committed to each other to provide resources to this program to ensure offenders stop the violence,” he stated. “We all are committed to providing our citizens a safer Rockingham County. A place to live, work, and raise a family.” How successful have the Call-in warnings been? All total, dating back to 2011, two hundred fifty-three felony offenders have been warned in the semi-annual meetings and only 7 have re-committed a firearms offense. Due in part to the efforts of PSRC, Rockingham County has experienced a double-digit drop in violent crime from 2010-2012 (2013 crime statistics are not yet available). Another area where PSRC is active is in the offering of assistance to notified offenders. Working with Project Re-entry, PSRC is attempting to secure education, training and other assets for the offenders. Nora Gann, Rockingham County Resource Coordinator for Project Re-entry stated, “Project Re-
entry and PSRC work with notified offenders to assess their needs and provide them with valuable resources. After the May Call-in, we held a Job Readiness and Retention Workshop, and every notified offender was invited to attend. Of those who attended and then began working with Project Re-entry, five gained fulltime employment and two are furthering their education at RCC. This success shows that with help, encouragement and the availability of resources, nothing is impossible.” At this writing, Rockingham Community College is once again offering tuition scholarships which are available to qualified persons. Eligible offenders could receive much needed vocational and other training, as they attempt to re-enter the work force as more viable employment candidates. Although the next Call-in for PSRC will not take place until November of this year, law enforcement departments are also keeping busy with gun screenings. Since inception of these bimonthly intelligence meetings in 2011, more than 30 violent firearms offenders have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the federal courts for prosecution, where punishment in many cases could be much more severe. These cases involve crimes committed by some of the most violent, hardened criminals in the county. PSRC is now in its fourth year, and Rockingham County has experienced an overall reduction in violent crime. Locally, taxpayers have saved thousands of dollars in jail confinement as PSRC has worked to deter offenders from recommitting violent offenses. Regarding the antiviolence warnings it has delivered, PSRC is committed to locking up dangerous criminals who do not comply and helping keep other firearms offenders out of prison who do. As for those offenders who reach out and accept the services, PSRC, community volunteers and social services agencies are assisting them with improving their job skills. All this work goes toward enriching the quality of life of all residents of Rockingham County. This, in the end, is the ultimate goal of Project SAFE Rockingham County.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 2014. The Sheriffs are gathering to assess the crisis of thousands of illegal aliens, many of them minors, pouring across our porous southern border into the United States. As the Federal government seeks to relocate thousands of Central American illegal aliens in communities across the country, elected law enforcement officials are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential threat this crisis poses in their various states and communities. “This is a fact-finding mission and an opportunity to view the very real problems of Human trafficking, Drug Trafficking, and Border security at ground zero itself” said Sheriff Sam Page of Rockingham County, North Carolina. Sheriff Page is currently the Co-Vice Chair of the National Sheriff's Association Border Security and Immigration Committee. During the Sheriffs’ two days at the southern border of the U.S. near McAllen, Texas, they will get a firsthand look at the border situation, and meet with local, State, and Federal law enforcement officials tasked with managing the crisis. Sheriff Sam Page will be available for News inquiries while at the Texas border by contacting Rockingham County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Corporal Kevin Suthard at 336-6132927 to set up an interview time.
A Great Day to Golf & Kick Cancer The Barry L. Joyce Local Cancer Support Fund announces their 13th Annual Barry Joyce Kicking Cancer Challenge golf tournament to benefit Rockingham County cancer patients and their families. The Kicking Cancer Challenge is the Fund’s largest fundraiser and folks travel from all over to participate. The field last year filled with 144 players. Lunch, dinner, beverages, prizes, and gifts are all provided so every one is sure to have a great time. The Fund began after Barry Joyce, for whom it’s named, passed away unexpectedly in 2001. Before his passing he had wanted to do something to help the many cancer patients and their families in our area. With the funds raised from the annual golf tournament, the Fund has been doing just that. By helping with everyday expenses such as heating and air, auto gas cards, and pharmaceutical bills, to name a few, the patients are able to focus more of their energy on beating the cancer. One should not have to decide whether to pay to heat their home for their family, or fill their prescription; feed their children, or make it to their next radiation appointment. The Barry L. Joyce Local Cancer Support Fund assists even more patients since opening The Barry Joyce Cancer Resource Center in November of 2013. In addition to helping financially, the Center now offers the emotional and educational support to help these cancer patients more adequately fight their cancer. Support groups, yoga classes, creative escapes, massage therapy, and much more give them the tools and support that they cannot get anywhere else in our community. Thanks to so many from our community that support The Barry Joyce Kicking Cancer Challenge, The Fund has not turned away anyone that has been in need of assistance. The 501c3 keeps every dollar that they raise in our community to help these very cancer patients and their families that need it. Please consider participating or being a sponsor in this year’s Barry Joyce Kicking Cancer Challenge. Tee off is at 12:00, Monday September 29th at Deep Springs Country Club in Stoneville. For more information call 336-427-4357, email info@bljcancerfund.org, or check out their website at www.bljcancerfund.org.

Working Together to Build Mountain Bike Trail Members of the Dan River Basin Association and Town of Mayodan are building the Mayodan Mountain Bike Trail at Farris Memorial Park in Mayodan. The plan for Mayodan Mountain Bike Trail is to build a friendly mountain bike track that will inspire kids (and adults) to rise to the FUN of being outdoors and on a trail. When this trail is complete it will be one-quarter of a mile of rolling track suitable for new mountain bikers. Eventually the groups wish to purchase bikes and helmets that would be available to adults and children who want to learn this sport. The trail is shaded and volunteers will be working in the
morning before temperatures get too hot. Volunteers are asked to wear cool, comfortable clothing, socks and closed-toed shoes. Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, and a sense of adventure. If you have them, the following tools would be helpful: loppers, maddox, heavy rakes. If it's raining, please check in with Jenny Edwards at (336) 339-6169 before you come out to make sure the event is still on.
Many thanks to the Dan River Basin Association members, Town of Mayodan, Reidsville Area Foundation, REI, Prillaman Landscaping and Greensboro Fat Tire for all their support in making this project a reality.

New Library adds E-books to collection
New combined Madison Mayodan Library opens The new Madison Mayodan Branch of Rockingham County Public Library celebrated a grand opening on July 14, 2014. The library is at 611 Burton Street, across the street from the Food Lion, in Madison North Carolina. If you look up while entering the building you will see elegantly styled stained glass in honor of the first librarian of the area, Mary Scott Johnson. As you enter the main section of the library you will notice the huge, beautiful wooden serv-
ice desk that greets you. This skillfully crafted desk was created by Steve Wall Lumber Company from the wood reclaimed from the Washington Mills plant in Mayodan that was recently town down. Considering the wood was some 100 years old when it was felled for the mill, and the mill was here some 200 years, the woodcrafted desk holds some 300 years of local history. Summer programs for children and teens began at the Burton Street location on July 16.

Rockingham County 4-Hers Attend 2014 NC 4-H Congress
Eight Rockingham County 4-H youth attended NC 4-H Congress in Raleigh at NCSU on June 21 – 24, 2014. Approximately 541 youth, staff and volunteers from around the state attended Congress. Congress is a four day conference focused on leadership, citizenship and community service for our youth. 4Hers heard from a variety of speakers and were engaged in many citizenship workshops. During the week, youth also elect their new state 4-H officers. The youth also had a lot of social, fun time with their new friends from other counties across NC. This year participants participated in the 4K for 4-H. Participants ran or walked a 4K for healthy living as well as to raise money for local charities. The last day youth took a visit to the NC Legislative Building in Raleigh where they got a chance to learn more about the Legislature. While down town they also visited the NC Science Museum. From Rockingham County there were eight youth attending representing three 4-H clubs. The youth were Ray Hairston, Damien Percell, Danielle Ryan, Lorrie Norwood, Erika Padron, Lydia Ryan, Lynyanna Rankin and Ricky Abbott. Among the Congress activities, NC State 4-H Presentations Contest was going on. We had two 4-Hers present at state. Lorrie Norwood gave a wonderful presentation on using horses as therapy animals in the 14-18 yr old - Horse category. Willow Gatewood presented and was awarded first place for her 11-13 year old – Small and Companion Animals presentation! Also during Congress, Rockingham County 4-H was awarded with the Gold – 1st place award for the North Central District 4-H Community Service Award. This was awarded for all the 4-Hers community service efforts over the past year in our county. We are very proud of this special award! Also announced at NC 4-H Congress was Ashland Pruitt’s honorable mention award for her Silhouettes photo in the NC 4-H Photography contest. On the last night, there was an awards banquet held which recognized several of our Rockingham County delegates. Lorrie Norwood was awarded the gold 1st place medal for her horse portfolio. Two Rockingham County 4-H seniors were awarded with college scholarship. Mackenzie Swift and Lorrie Norwood were awarded with the North Central District 4-H Horse Program college scholarships. The event was not all about the youth; we had one of our long time 4-H volunteers, Mr. Perry Graves Sr was inducted into the NC 4-H Hall of Fame. This is a very special induction that was well deserved by Perry. He has been a 4-H volunteer in Rockingham County for over 19 years and still maintains an active 4-H club. Our Rockingham County 4-H youth represented the county proudly and had a wonderful time! Thank you to United Way for helping provide 4-H scholarship dollars to these youth for this special trip!

Generation 4 Hope brings mission work closer to home Each year, in August, Generation 4 Hope sponsors an elementary school with supplies needed for each child to begin there new year in school. “We have sponsored schools in several different counties such as McDowell County, West Virginia and in hollow’s of the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee, as well as Casswell County, North Carolina. This year Generation 4 Hope would like to sponsor the children in Rockingham County,” says Dawn Hilburn. What is Generation 4 Hope Mission Outreach? Directed by Bishop Robert and Dawn Hilburn, Generation 4 Hope has been doing mission work with the Church of the Living God for over 25 years. Generation 4 Hope is a group of born again believers from all domination’s churches reaching out to children and letting them know that someone cares, by extending our hands of love to them in many different ways. On August 23rd at 3:00pm at the Morehead High School Auditorium, Generation 4 Hope will be presenting “A Light in the
Darkness”. This is a FREE event to all ages. In order to give back to our community children some of the supplies needed for them to start the 2014-2015 year. Generation 4 Hope is putting together an advertisement booklet from the sponsors that partner with them to make this event successful. Each family will receive a copy of our booklet so that they can patronize these business. There is fifteen (15) Elementary schools in Rockingham County, four (4) Middle schools, four (4) High schools, and two Alternative schools.

questions about Generation 4 Hope Mission Outreach. With projects all year long, the largest project is in December at Christmas. “It is our desire to bless the children with things for Christmas, but leave with them the handprint of Christ. If, we leave God’s handprint on them they will never forget the love of God that was shown to them on that day. A child can’t help the situations that they are in, but with God they can change their destiny by excepting Him as their Savior and He will direct their paths,” said Hilburn. You can help by putting boxes in your churches, offices, beauty shop’s, etc. and ask your family members, friends, church members, to drop off items that we can use for Christmas. Items like: Shampoo, body wash, tooth brush, toothpaste, soap, blankets, sleep bags, toys, gloves, socks, hats, coats, shoes, etc., the list is endless. We can use anything you have to give to bless others. For more information contact Bishop Robert & Dawn Hilburn, PO Box 45 Stoneville, NC 27048 336-255-9497/336-255-4443

A Fork In The Road By Darrell Meade Gregory
Shortly after WWI, a group of young boys from Draper converged on a abandoned 55-foot railroad turntable tucked halfway into a small mound. At one time, when the turntable was in service, three men would manually turn a well-balanced small loco-
motive and coal car around for the return trip back to Leaksville. With the station master gone for the day, the boys did not have to worry about him charging out of the small depot and chasing them away. Melvin Dodson joined his friends in their endeavor to force

As they had done many times before, the boys got the table up to speed and prepared to jump on the end of it for a short ride. But this time it was different. Melvin, who was on top rail, lost his balance, and fell into the path of the metal behemoth’s outside wheels. The heavy table was unstoppable. Its heavy wheels rolled over Melvin’s right leg, severing it. James Turner Morehead was an industrialist who was also very much interested in transportation. Aside from the mills that he operated in Spray, he also ran at least several bateaux boats on the Dan River, from Danville to Madison. It was the best commercial transportation available at the time, but the needs of the mills and the growing towns of Leaksville and Spray had outgrown the limited carriage of the bateau system. Reidsville was on the Danville to Greensboro Line and was experiencing rapid growth due to the ease of transport which was not unnoticed by Morehead. As had his father before h i m , Morehead pushed for the railroad access to his mills. It was railroad legend Thomas Robinson Sharp who was finally able to remedy this dilemma, thus enabling the mills to reach full potential. Sharp had purchased over 1300 acres in what would become Draper and began to develop a flagstop hamlet that bore his name. He charted and became president of the Danville, Mocksville, and Southwestern Railroad organized on November 29, 1880. Construction began soon thereafter. The first seven miles were graded, and the road was poised to lay track as soon as the Danville and New River Railroad reached Cascade Creek where the two lines would connect. Fortunes were made and lost quickly in the high stakes railroad business, and this one was no exception. In spite of competition, bankruptcies, and buyouts, the rail that was laid all way to Leaksville by 1883, propelled this area into the 20th century. The first locomotive of the eight mile line from Leaksville Junction to Leaksville was the Lily B. Morehead, a 2-6-0 Baldwin engine. The locomotive was purchased to run exclusively on this line to exchange cargo and passengers with the Danville train. After the locomotive was sold, engines from the railroad no longer needed the turnaround, and since it was narrow-gauge rail, it was outmoded by the early 1900’s when a third rail was added for the conversion to broad-gauge.
After the railway crossed Cascade Creek, it split into two lines with the northwestern tracks of the Danville and New River going all the was to Stuart, Virginia. The narrow- gauge southwestern line, The Danville, Mocksville and Southwestern forked from this line. It was initially intended to go all the way to Mocksville but did well to make it to Leaksville. This fork in the railway became known as Leaksville Junction. A small station was built between the tracks where they diverged and was designated Station 20. It was a strategic location, as it had ample water supply for the water tanks for the steam locomotives. The station master wore many hats. The junction had a water station, a day telegraph service, a freight agency to handle the freight, a ticket agency and a post office. The locals provided cut wood for fuel for the engines for extra money until the broad gauge conversion brought the more powerful coal powered locomotives in at the turn of the century.
Leaksville Junction was a small, bustling community in the start-up days. The conversion to broad gauge quickly accelerated growth, and houses and a store sprang up. John T. Watson of Danville started a brickyard on the east side of the creek. Thomas Benton Fitzgerald, who owned Willow Oaks, the former Broadnax Plantation, bought into the company in 1912. Then known as the Watson-Fitzgerald Corporation, the brickyard had two spurs coming off the main track to the plant. The J. Lewis and Sons Nursery, now known as Lewis Nursery, was aided in its start-up years by being able to transport pear, apple and peach trees all over the eastern seaboard, thereby greatly increasing its customer base. J. Lewis and Sons was also versatile in doing brisk transactions in bartering at the depot for the goods that they needed. With the advent of automobiles, the small settlement began fading away. Bt the 1930’s, there were just about five families that still claimed this area home. In August 1940, torrential rains heavily damaged the steel structural bridge carrying it 50 feet from its foundations. The train had to stay in Draper for several days before the tracks were temporarily repaired. In 1916, the government’s Interstate Commerce Commission surveyed all the railroads undoubtedly in anticipation of the U.S. entry into
WWI. This photograph was taken of Leaksville Junction Station then, and it shows a well kept structure doubling as a post office. Of particular interest is the words “SHALE VA” printed under the Post Office lettering, no doubt from the shale deposits that were in the area which would later become the quarry of the Virginia Solite Corporation. Also under the shelter is a rare view of a three-wheeled vehicle known as a velocipede. This one-man device was used to scout the rails looking for maintenance problems and to deliver messages between stations. Manually operated velocipedes were replaced several years later by gas powered carts. After 1950, this station house was moved up the tracks to Cascade and served as the post office. All that remains of the old site are the two square foundations of the shelter’s posts. By 1950, the steam locomotives had been replaced by the much more powerful diesel engines, and there was no need to keep a coaling station and water station at the junction. Passenger service was also being replaced by buses and automobiles. There are few reminders left of the bygone days. The foundations to the first and second water tank are still intact. The well known turntable was taken up around 1950, and all that remains is a depression in the side of the hill with some concrete foundations obscured in the vegetation. On the other side of the trestle, there still can be found scattered examples of the old brickyard. With the loss of mainly furniture companies in the Martinsville area, the tracks were dismantled all the way to Leaksville Junction. The closing of the textile mills also hurt the line in Eden, but Duke Power steam station and Miller Brewing kept the line profitable and open all the way to Danville. At this date, only MillerCoors Brewing and Loparex require transport from this line, and constitute the only commerce keeping the tracks open. Melvin Dodson survived his traumatic experience at the unforgiving turntable as a child. He married and purchased a large farm, ran a riding stable and bred horses. A well-liked and respected man, Melvin “Peg” Dodson led a illustrious life including exciting participation in the moonshine trade. Peg also had a penchant for fast cars that enabled him to stay a step ahead of the revenuers. He never let his wooden leg slow him down.

For the fun of it After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing coming from his room. Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking was helping. His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted. In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed, and then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"

Back-to-School Transitions: Tips for Parents Getting a new school year off to a good start can influence children’s attitude, confidence, and performance both socially and academically. T h e transition from summer to school year can be difficult for both children and parents. Even children who are eager to return to class must adjust to the greater levels of activity, structure, and, for some, pressures associated with school life. The degree of adjustment depends on the child, but parents can help their children (and the rest of the family) manage the increased pace of life by planning ahead, being realistic, and maintaining a positive attitude. Here are a few suggestions to help ease the transition and promote a successful school experience. Mark your calendar. Make a note of important dates, especially back-to-school/open house nights. This is especially important if you have children in more than one school and need to juggle obligations. Take advantage of the school’s open houses! Help ease pre-school anxieties (for you and your child) by meeting your child’s teacher, locating their classroom, locker, lunchroom, etc., and also allow your child to ask questions about the new environment. Call ahead to make sure the teachers will be available to introduce themselves to your child. Bring important information with you to open house. Share important information with your child’s teacher at open house. Bring emergency contact, health, and transportation information with you. Review and sign all important information. Review the material sent by the school as soon as it arrives. Sign any documents and return with the child on the next school day. These packets include important infor-
mation regarding school procedures, district policies and procedures, sign ups for after-school sports and activities, school calendar dates, bus transportation, school nutrition information, health and emergency forms, and volunteer opportunities. Re-establish the bedtime and mealtime routines. Plan to reestablish the bedtime and mealtime routines (especially breakfast). Prepare your child for this change by talking with your child about the benefits of school routines in terms of not becoming over tired or overwhelmed by school work and activities. Include pre-bedtime reading and household chores if these were suspended during the summer. Turn off the TV. Encourage your child to play quiet games, do puzzles, flash cards, color, or read as early morning activities instead of watching television. This will help ease your child into the learning process and school routine. If possible, maintain this practice throughout the school year. Television is distracting for many children, and your child will arrive at school better prepared to learn each morning if he or she has engaged in less passive activities. Designate and clear a place to do homework. Older children should have the option of studying in their room or a quiet area of the house. Younger children usually need a designated area in the family room or kitchen to facilitate adult monitoring, supervision, and encouragement. Select a spot to keep backpacks and lunch boxes. Designate a spot for your children to place their school belongings as well as a place to put important notices and information sent home for you to see. Explain that emptying their backpack each evening is part of their responsibility, even for young children.

International High School Exchange Students Seeking Host Families in Eden Visiting students, ages 1518, from around the world including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand are seeking host families in and around Eden for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic school year. Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year. Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters, etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their host’s daily routines and traditions just like any other family member. Hosting an international student is a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of lifelong learning and adventure. “Every year North Carolina plays host to hundreds of talented, top-of-their-class students with the lifelong dream of studying in America,” reports Joseph Bissell, iE-USA’s Regional Director. Joe ads, “Our state’s hospitality and prominent focus on academic enrichment makes it an ideal environment to develop cultural exchange and promote international diplomacy on a local level.” iE-USA, the sponsoring program, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting education and understanding through intercultural and academic exchange. iE-USA is certified by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel and strictly adheres to all U.S. Department of State Student Exchange Program regulations and guidelines. Exchange student participants undergo an extensive application and orientation process in their home country prior to being accepted into iE-USA’s program.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
Workforce Solutions receives federal grant N.C. Division of Workforce Solutions has received a federal grant worth $6.1 million to expand its programs to train workers who lost a job in high-demand industries. The state will receive the grant over two years through the federal Job Driven National Emergency Grant program to augment onthe-job and classroom training programs in targeted regions for dislocated workers, helping them prepare for in-demand industries. Individuals served through this grant will be those who have been unemployed for the long term, more than 27 weeks, with a special priority given to veterans. The division will work in collaboration with the Workforce Development Boards and the N.C. Community Colleges in the targeted areas to offer the expanded programs. “This grant expands our investment in one of the state’s most important resources: our workforce,” said Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker. “We’re giving job seekers the tools they need to find jobs, providing businesses the employees they need to thrive, and creating a prosperous economy for North Carolina.” Across the state, the division’s local workforce offices offer career assessments, labor market information, access to training and job fairs, and assistance with job interviews, resumes, and cover letters at no charge to job seekers. The division also operates NCWorks Online, the job-search portal designed to connect talented job seekers to employers. The division, workforce boards, and the community college system work together to connect talented people with employers and employers with the services they need to grow and retain quality jobs. “We’re thrilled to offer more unemployed citizens the tools they need to successfully compete in the job market,” said Will Collins, Executive Director of NCWorks. “Our agencies do their best work when they’re working together to improve the workforce of North Carolina.” The Job Driven National Emergency Grant program is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. NCWorks In April, Governor Pat McCrory announced NCWorks, a new partnership between the N.C. Department of Commerce, the N.C. Community College System, and the N.C. Department of Public Instruction to improve the state’s workforce system. Through the NCWorks initiative, partners will create a stronger alignment of services and resources to meet the workforce needs of businesses, connect North Carolinians to technical training and quality careers, and use data to monitor and assess program outcomes. For more information about NCWorks, visit www.nccommerce.com/ncworks. The N.C. Division of Workforce Solutions is a part of the N.C. Department of Commerce.

Citizens Academy The Citizens Academy is a ten-session program designed to provide citizens with "hands-on" experiences with all facets of city government – from emergency services and sanitation operations to the business of water and budgeting your tax dollars. The Academy provides residents with an inside look at city programs, services, policies and issues. Sessions are designed to provide information, as well as experiences. Holding a fire hose helps the participant understand how much strength and endurance a firefighter needs to battle a blaze. Touring a wastewater facility helps the citizen understand the technical expertise – and the 24 hour monitoring – required by utilities employees. There is no fee for the Citizens Academy. The sessions begin August 21 and will be held each Thursday evening from 6 to 8 for 9 weeks at various city locations. Site visits will include trips to the public works, police and fire departments, parks and recreational areas. Since many participants will arrive directly from work without eating, a light meal will also be provided each week. If you wish to learn more about the City of Eden Citizens Academy, please contact Sheralene Thompson, City Clerk, at 623-2110, option “8” or email: sthompson@edennc.us. Applications are available at City Hall or the Eden Chamber of Commerce.

Happy • Healthy • Life presented by Teri Lea
Is Your "Music" Still Hidden Inside You? " A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he be at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be." ~ Abraham Maslow Are you happy with your life? Really? Many times in life we do what is expected of us instead of listening to what calls us to deeper happiness. Here are some reasons why... • You are afraid of what others will think, they might disapprove • You have been told that we are not so great at it • You feel that you can't do what you love and make a decent living too • You believe you don't have the money • You believe you don't have the time • You are afraid that people will think you are crazy • You are afraid your might fail at what you want These are all just beliefs and excuses; because we have all done things in spite of any of these reasons when either the desire or the pain was big enough! SO what would it take to claim your own life? Here are 5 Steps to get you moving in that direction 1- Listen to your heart - It reminds you of what's important to you 2 - Listen to your intuition - this is from your right Brain - it connects in with your dream and prompts you to follow your heart
For the fun of it
Moms Dictionary
3 - Let the Logical part of your brain - your Left Brain - help you determine the steps you need to make your dream happen (do not let it talk you out of it) 4 - Be passionate and take risks. Following your heart often means taking risks. By tapping into your passion you will be inspired to take the steps necessary in spite of the risks 5 - Recognize that Failure is a myth. When you fear failure you get stopped in your tracks. You take things personally. There is no such thing in life as failure. There are only results. For every action there is a result. If you do not get the result you want do a different action. Action = Results. Different Actions = Different Results. By taking this attitude you will be less discouraged, develop curiosity and love your yourself more. SO Follow your heart. Listen to how you feel. Let your intuition lead the way. Play your own Brand of Music. Don't die with your music inside you. Are you living your life? "There is one life for each of us; our own." ~ Euripides And one more thing. Tap into more joy. What small joy can you bring into your life for no other reason than joy? Yes. You Matter. Own Your Value. It's all about You. And it's about being In Touch In Life.

Eleven Morehead High School Army JROTC Cadets Graduate from Junior Cadet Leadership Challenge Oak Ridge, NC - For most teenagers, summer camp means basking along the seashore by day, and sharing fireside chats by night. But for Army JROTC Cadets, JCLC Carolina is a different kind of camp. Approximately 130 high school students enrolled in Army JROTC programs at 15 schools state wide arrived at Oak Ridge Military Academy for the 2014 JCLC Carloina held June 20-24, ready to test the limits of their endurance, stamina, and leadership capabilities. Morehead High School took 11 cadets to JCLC Carolina, wanting to grow in confidence and leadership skills during the five-day camp adventure. The typical daily routine for JCLC attendants consists of a 5:30 a.m. wake up call, movement to breakfast at 6:30 a.m., with strength, confidence and leadership training beginning as early as 8am, and continuing throughout the day. Some of the camp activities consisted of marksmanship, rope bridge, drown proofing, land navigation, rappel/confidence course, and physical training/team events. Cadets are not allowed to bring cell phones with them to camp in order to help wean them away from emotional longing to get back to their friends and family at home, according to retired First Sergeant Chet Chrapliwy, the Army Instructor at Morehead High School. “By the second day,” Chrapliwy said, “they learn to
make new friends, and just fall in line.” On average, six to twelve cadets representing each of the 15 schools nationwide attend JCLC. They arrive together, and a few share living quarters together, but are dispersed among other camp platoons, companies and units throughout the duration of their stay. They are challenged to step out of their comfort zone to meet and team up with Cadets from other schools with different backgrounds, skills, and abilities. “At first, it was really awkward coming out of my comfort zone away from friends and family,” said Cadet Captain Alondra Morales, 17, a rising senior at Morehead who was Honor Graduate for Charlie Company. “I had to get out there and talk to other people I didn’t know. It’s really hard learning to trust the teammates you have never met before. It really brings out the true leader in all of us, but you have to trust that they’ll be there for you and won’t let you down.” That theory is put to practice on multiple levels throughout JCLC as cadets experience it first-hand when it comes to building trust and confidence in their teammates while participating in each of the several obstacle courses. “If you’re gonna slack, don’t come,” says Morales. “I was placed in an immediate leadership position from day one here as a platoon leader. But ranks are switched each day to give everyone a chance at a leadership posi-
tion.” Through Chrapliwy's threeyear involvement with JCLC, he says cadets tend to return to school with a renewed sense of purpose, focus, and a better understanding of what the JROTC citizenship program is all about. “When it comes to being a leader, you can’t just sugar coat everything because everybody’s your friend,” said Cadet Sergeant Ryder Twilla, 15, a rising Sophomore at Morehead, who plans to attend the United States Navel Academy after graduation. “Sometimes you just need to forget who your friends are for a second, and just take the lead.” Cadet Major Terra Johnson, a rising senior and the Corps of Cadets Battalion Executive Officer, took great interest in the fact that her strength and abilities as a leader have grown and developed since her freshman year in JROTC. “My strength has increased greatly and my leadership skills are constantly getting better,” said Johnson, who plans to join the Army after graduation. “I’m adapting, and I find myself being able to just flat out be a stronger leader.” Morehead Army JROTC 2014 JCLC Graduates (left to right) Alondra Morales, Terra Johnson, Mike Jones, James Richmond, Steven Holland, Jacob Hall, Tyler Bruins, George Blackstock, Ryder Twilla, Brennen Furstenberg and Michael Farris.
Morehead student recieves Golden LEAF Scholarship The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority recently selected Montana Gilley as a recipient of a $12,000 Golden LEAF Foundation Scholarship. Gilley is a senior at John M. Morehead High School and plans to attend University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Gilley is one of 215 students selected to receive a $3,000 scholarship each year for up to four years of study at a participating NC public university or private non-profit college or university. Recipients are from rural, economically distressed North Carolina counties and are selected based on a number of criteria, including a review of school and community service activities, goals, and expressed intent to contribute to rural communities upon graduation from college. The Golden LEAF Foundation created the Golden LEAF Scholarship program to broaden educational opportunities and provide support to students from rural counties, with the hope that after graduation,
recipients will provide leadership in these communities. “The Golden LEAF Board of Directors has been pleased to assist more than 10,100 students from families in rural communities attend college since 2000,” said Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF President. “The Golden LEAF Scholarship is one of the many tools we have to help fulfill our purpose of growing North Carolina’s rural economy. Our hope is that through this scholarship opportunity, scholars will be able to gain valuable knowledge and skills and come back to their hometowns or another rural area to help our communities prosper.” The Golden LEAF Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1999 to help transform North Carolina’s economy. The foundation receives one-half of North Carolina’s funds from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement with cigarette manufacturers and places special emphasis on assisting tobacco-dependent, economically-distressed and/or rural com-
munities across the state. The Golden LEAF Foundation works in partnership with governmental entities, educational institutions, economic development organizations and nonprofits to achieve its mission. The foundation has awarded 1,247 grants totaling more than $548 million since its inception. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) administers the program on behalf of the Golden LEAF Foundation. NCSEAA, established in 1965, is the State agency that promotes access to higher education by administering financial aid and savings programs, informing students and families about paying for college, teaching educators about financial aid administration, and advocating for resources to support students.

New and returning coaches of the Boys & Girls club Football Program will now be trained in the Heads Up Football program. Chris Laprade said of the program “In our upcoming football season we are moving to a new program called Heads Up Football. This program is designed to help us make the game of football safer by having our players in equipment that fits properly and by teaching proper tackling technique. Not only is the program designed to make the game safer but also designed to make our coaches better prepared in terms of recognizing concussions and heat related illnesses,” Laprade adds, “Each
coach is required to go through a coaching certification. I was required to do that plus take a training course to bring back even more information to our coaches, players and parents.” USA Football will have educated more than 70,000 youth football coaches across America through full-day coaching schools and its tackle and flag football Certified Coaching Education Program (CCEP). Their comprehensive online coaching courses feature computer animation and chapter quizzes to strengthen comprehension. These courses include CDCapproved concussion education and awareness material with an
accompanying comprehension quiz. CDC-approved concussion awareness material also is distributed at all USA Football training events. Approximately 400,000 youth football players have benefited from USA Football’s coaching programs, which instruct coaches how to teach the sport’s fundamentals and employ effective coach-toplayer and coach-to-parent communication techniques. To learn more call the Boys and Girls Club at 336-627-7960. For more information and safety resources visit: www.cdc.gov/Concussion or www.usafootball.com.

Seniors and the Dog Days of Summer It can get too darn hot for seniors in summer so the experts say: drink plenty of water when the temperature soars, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. AMAC also suggests talking to your doctor or pharmacist about supplements that can help restore proper salt, calcium, potassium and magnesium levels. These electrolytes are essential for maintaining good health. When you sweat, you deplete your body's supply of these elements and that can cause cramps, dizziness and even an irregular heartbeat. Older Americans - particularly those with chronic medical conditions - need to keep in touch with friends, family and neighbors in the summer time, particularly if you are physically active or if you live alone, the Association of Mature American Citizens suggests. Let them know if you'll be out and about

for any extended period of time; if they are not checking up on you from time to time, you should check in with them. AMAC says the advice is especially important when temperatures start to rise. A hat can make your summer outfit that much more attractive. It can also prevent melanoma or skin cancer, particularly if you are older and especially if your hairline is receding, adds the Association of Mature American Citizens. And, while you are at it, don't forget to use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with an SPF factor of 15 or higher, when you go out of doors. By the way, those UV rays are not only harmful for your skin, they can damage your eyes, so get yourself a good pair of shades that block those harmful rays. Besides, says AMAC, sunglasses will make you look cool.

Gunn medical practice is a new facility that opened in May 2014 and offers Family Medicine services, accepting all ages—infants, children and adults. Located at 922 Third Avenue in Reidsville, this practice is nestled within and adjacent to many housing communities, apartments and developments. “This practice is unique in that it is located in the community where people reside – we’re their neighbors,” says Mand. Another unique characteristic is that it offers medical care and assists patients in accessing many of the community resources that many families may not be aware of and can benefit from – we have many partnerships with local agencies and will link families with them according to their needs.” “Back-to-school physicals also give us an opportunity to meet other family members and offer our services to other sib-
For the fun of it The local high school has a policy that the parent's must call the school if the student is to be absent for the day. Kelly, deciding to bunk and go to the mall with her friends waited till her parent's had left for work and called the school herself. This is the actual conversation of the telephone call. Kelly: "Hi, I'm calling to report that Kelly so-and-so is unable to make it to school today because she is ill. Secretary at high school: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll note her absence. Who is this calling?" Kelly: "This is my mother."
lings, parents, and grandparents,” says Mand. While parents may know that their children need immunizations before beginning kindergarten or need booster shots during the elementary years or when beginning junior high school, they may not realize the importance of these health exams to their children’s total wellbeing. “During pre-kindergarten exams we assess growth and development, developmental skills, and school readiness,” says Mand. When a child has a health exam prior to entering junior high, we want to make sure all of the immunization boosters are up to date such as MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella; meningococcal, varicella, and HPV. The sports physical is another important exam. “During a sports physical we look at the child’s overall health; including the important cardiac assessment. Childhood obesity is another aspect of the back-to-school exam. We will offer recommendations for healthy eating and exercise to help prevent many of the obesity-related illnesses such as such as heart disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal problems from developing at an early age. “We are seeing the development of Type 2 diabetes in children as early as high school. Due to obesity, diabetes is no longer your
grandmother’s disease,” Mand says. The Clara F. Gunn practice is excited to be a part of this community and looks forward to partnering with their “neighbors” to ensure that the Reidsville area has access to medical care to benefit the overall health and wellbeing of all of its citizens.

Dead Kitty
“I just can’t take it anymore” cried Larry to his Priest. “No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to put bread on the table!” “Larry, listen closely to what I am going to tell you” said the Priest. “Go to a quiet place outdoors where you can spend some time with the Lord. Sit down with the Bible in front of you and let the wind turn the pages. Close your eyes and think about the Lord. When you open your eyes, see what page the Bible is opened to, and there you will find your message.” Three months later the Priest was walking up the church steps when he spotted Larry speeding by in a brand new Lexus. “Larry!” screamed the priest incredulously. “What happened? Let me hear your story!” “Well,” said Larry “it was just as you said. I sat in a quiet place, closed my eyes, and when I opened them the answer was right in front of me. It was opened to Chapter 11!”
Once there was a man named Jim, who let his dog out to relieve himself late one night. He watched some TV, and then remembered to let the dog back in. When he opened the door, he was shocked at what he saw! In his dog's mouth was his neighbor's cat, dead! "Bad dog! BAD DOG!", said the panicked man. He took the cat away and looked at it. He couldn't bring himself to tell his neighbor what happened, so he decided to clean it up and leave it on the neighbour's porch. He took the cat into the bathroom and washed it thouroughly. He brushed it's beautiful white fur as he blow dried it, and put it's collar back on. Since it was so dark, he snuck into the neighbor's yard, and laid the cat down on the porch, in front of the door. The next day, he was on his way to the car to go to work and his neighbor was outside. "Hi," he said. "Hi," replied Jim, nervously. His neighbor said, "something weird happened last night." "Oh yeah? What's that," asked Jim, sweating now. "Well, my cat died yesterday, and we buried him, and this morning he was lying on my front porch!”
Scientific Theory There was a scientist who was studying frogs. The scientist told the frog to jump, so the frog jumped, and he jumped 4 feet. So the scientist wrote in his notebook: a frog with 4 feet jumps 4 feet. The scientist then cut of one leg. He told the frog to jump, so the frog jumped. He jumped 3 feet. So the scientist wrote in his notebook: a frog with 3 feet jumps 3 feet. The scientist then cut off one more leg. He told the frog to jump, so the frog jumped. He jumped 2 feet. So the scientist wrote in his notebook: a frog with 2 feet jumps 2 feet. The scientist cut off one more leg. He told the frog to jump, so the frog jumped. He jumped 1 foot. So the scientist wrote in his notebook: a frog with 1 foot jumps 1 foot. The scientist cut off the last leg. He told the frog jump, Jump, JUMP! But the frog did not move. So the scientist wrote in his notebook: a frog with no legs goes deaf.
Please Change This Peter walked up to his teacher's desk, holding a report card with a big red F. "If I were you," said Peter, "I would change this while you still can." "Why is that?" asked the teacher. "Because my daddy told me that if I brought home one more failing report card, someone was going to get a beating."

Medical History Due to a job transfer, Brian moved from his hometown to New York City. Being that he had a very comprehensive health history, he brought along all of his medical paperwork, when it came time for his first check up with his new Doctor. After browsing through the extensive medical history, the Doctor stared at Brian for a few moments and said, ” Well there’s one thing I can say for certain, you sure look better in person than you do on paper!”

High Fever My four year old daughter had a terrible case of the flu, she was achy, had a high fever, and was terribly hoarse. After waiting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office for over an hour we were finally admitted to see the Doctor. After the usual routine of listening to her breathing and checking her ears, the Doctor looked my daughter in the eye and said, “so what would you say is bothering you the most?” Without skipping a beat my daughter promptly answered, “Billy, he always breaks my toys!”

Smith River Cleanup Float You're invited to the Dan River Basin Association's (DRBA's) August 2 First Saturday Outing on the Smith River. Launching at Mitchell Bridge Access, paddlers will cover 7.5 miles, taking out on private property at Morgan Ford Bridge near Sandy Level, Virginia, with the owner's permission. This section of the river is rated as Class I, suitable for novice paddlers. Along the way, participants will collect litter from the river as part of the great Smith River Cleanup. Other portions of the Smith will be cleaned up in the summer and fall for a total of some fifty river miles. Participants will meet at 10:00 a.m. at Mitchell Bridge Access on Mitchell Road (VA 636) (GPS 36.60264, -79.77658) to unload boats and gear, sign waivers, and set the shuttle. Three Rivers Outfitters of Eden, 336-627-6215 or www.3-R-
Dan River Basin Association to Paddle August 2 on Lower River
O.com, will offer boat rentals and shuttle for the outing. Paddlers are urged to choose canoes instead of kayaks, since more trash can be loaded into canoes. Coordinator for the outing is long-time DRBA board member and avid paddler Julia Pyron, a partner in Three Rivers Outfitters. Julia comments, "This is a beautiful part of the Smith River that we normally cannot see unless we have the use of a private access." After passing some rock outcrops, paddlers may notice Middle Creek, which enters on the left about a mile below Mitchell Bridge. Within the next two miles, Grassy Fork and Drug Creek enter from the right, the latter just before Whale Rock on the right. Forested banks throughout the trip are punctuated by summer wildflowers, such as Fire Pinks and Black-eyed Susans. Occasional small rapids or gravel shoals interrupt the flatwa-
ter in this quiet, remote section of the Smith. Half a mile below Whale Rock is Goodwin's Island near where Joseph Goodwin's mill stood in the 1700s. Another half mile brings the group to a gravel bar where Break Reed Ford allowed travelers to cross the river as late as the 1920s. Two miles further downstream, Home Creek enters on the left beside Big Rock, which marks the last mile of the float. Near the take-out is Morgan's Ford, used from about 1800. It was replaced by the first Morgan Ford Bridge, now marked by three stone piers about 20 feet high. In 1953 the current Morgan Ford Bridge, the last remaining steel truss bridge spanning the Smith River, was assembled from other structures-a perfect example of resource reuse. According to DRBA's "An Insider's Guide to the Smith River," available at www.danriver.org, "The throughtruss part was built in 1887,
moved here from Pittsylvania County." From Mecklenburg County came the low truss; the steel girders are from Salem; and the plate girders are from the Norfolk & Western railroad overpass in Vinton. Participants in the outing are asked to dress in layers of quickdrying fabric, to wear close-toed shoes, and be prepared to get wet. All are asked to provide boat, paddles, life jacket and gloves for each boater, lunch, water, and trash bags, and to sign a waiver. To reach Mitchell Bridge Access from US 58 in Virginia: At Axton, turn south onto Axton Road (County Road 610). Drive 1.6 miles. Turn right onto Barker Road (County Road 622). Drive 3.1 miles. At Irisburg, continue straight onto Mitchell Road (County Road 636). Drive 3.8 miles to the access on the right just before the bridge. Outings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without
charge. For more information about the outing, contact Julia Pyron, smokeyjo19@gmail.com, 336344-0772. For information about the Dan River Basin Association, visit www.danriver.org.

Coal Ash cleanup enters second phase of monitoring down stream
by Terrill Sandiford By Terrill Sandiford
I have been with Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County for five months now. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with a lot of people, connect and re-connect with so many wonderful people, and stand before generous and concerned civic groups, who do everything they can to support the community in which they live and work. I’ve even got my own radio show – something I never thought I’d be able to say! Check it out on WLOE-WMYN on the third Wednesday of each month at 11 am. It is rebroadcast on the same day at 7 pm. We’ve had a lot of fun with the radio show, and, more importantly, had the opportunity to share a wealth of information about the programs and services offered by ADTS. I open each show with a brief introduction, and I also highlight my role, and what I’m trying to do. Which, to put it bluntly, is to raise money. I decided to dedicate this month’s column to the development office at ADTS. What does development mean? While we’re not building homes or offices, we do work to “build” endowment (savings) and long-term financial support, as well as building an annual fundraising campaign, anticipating raising more money year after year. Development also includes planned giving – charitable trusts, beneficiary in wills and so forth. The development office also seeks out funding opportunities through foundations, by writing grants and other documents requesting financial support. First….let me share some information about our programs and services with you. Ridership on the skat bus in Eden is up almost 20% from a year ago at this time. From January through June of this year, we have provided 7,261 trips on the Eden skat bus. With no form of public transportation in Eden, the skat bus is a bargain. Meals on Wheels delivered over 41,000 meals to homebound senior adults in 2013, and, so far this year, has delivered 17,400 meals. The Center for Active Retirement hosted an official ribbon cutting ceremony at its new location; 141 Tyre Dodson Road in Wentworth. The center provides active retirees and senior adults with activities such as bingo, arts and crafts, computer classes, exercise, strength training, fellowship and much more. “We’re delighted to be here, and so excited about our new facility,” center director Ruth Mitchell shared with the crowd at the ceremony. All good stuff, right? Well, we need your support to continue offering all these programs and services for senior adults and adults (18+) with disabilities and their families. Our goal is simple: help senior adults with the support they need so they can age in place, in the comfort of their own home. For adults with disabilities and their families, our goal is to help them receive the care they need, while helping
Sandiford them achieve independence and participation in the community. Our vision is for ALL people in our community to be valued and supported to reach their full potential through access to the information and services they need to remain active. You may ask yourself, “What can I do?” There are several answers to that question. Our greatest need is financial support, so that we can reduce, and, hopefully eliminate, waiting lists for services. Additionally, you can help us spread the word about what we do. Do you have a great story or know someone who has been touched by what we do? If so, share it with the people you know. Volunteer – we’re always looking for volunteers to serve in a variety of roles. Whether you’re available for a few hours each week, or for a few hours once a month, we’ll help you find a volunteer opportunity that fits your schedule. Consider joining the Community Relations & Development committee. You can help directly impact the bottom line. Want more? Consider leaving ADTS in your estate. Think about planned giving, and the many options and flexibility it offers. Leave your legacy with the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping support one of the most critical agencies in Rockingham County. You Can Help! Every donation is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Gifts to Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County may include cash, land, real-estate, stocks and bonds. Proper estate planning may increase your current income, by-pass capital gains tax, reduce current income tax, reduce estate tax, and retain assets for those you love. Another option is a Charitable Lead Trust. The whole idea of a charitable lead trust is to reduce taxes upon the estate left by the deceased. This is done by donating to non-profit organizations from the estate until all taxes are reduced. Once this is accomplished, the estate is then transferred to the beneficiaries, who typically will face lower taxes. You may also consider a Charitable Remainder Trust. The concept of a charitable remainder trust is to reduce taxes. This is done by first donating assets into the trust and then having it pay the beneficiary for a stated period of time. Once this time-frame expires, the remainder of the estate is transferred to the organizations deemed as beneficiaries. And, don’t forget to check out our website at www.adtsrc.org and like us on Facebook. Rockingham Update also airs a video version of the informational thirty minute show. My email address is tsandiford@adtsrc.org, and I can be reached by phone at (336) 3941313. Enjoy the month. Soon, summer will be over….again.
According to the EPA, what could be done, has been done in reference to the recent clean up of the February Duke Energy Coal Ash spill. The EPA claims the levels of dangerous toxins and metals is within acceptable limits. According to the EPA studies, the drinking water has remained safe. After bringing equipment which filled up the city’s AbeuGrogan Park in May, some 2,500 tons of coal ash were dredged from the river in that area. Previously, approximatley 3,000 tons were recovered from other parts of the river since the spill. The Duke Energy spill was estimated at about 39,000 tons, leaving about 33,500 tons unaccounted for. Remember, this clean up was just the first phase, with the second phase of monitoring continuing for months to come. The park will reopen in August once again for the public after Duke Power restores the park to it’s former condition.

Older Drivers: 7 Tips for Driver Safety Driving can sometimes be challenging for older adults. Driver safety requires more than understanding road signs and traffic laws. As we age, we’ll likely notice physical changes that can make certain actions – such as turning your head to look for oncoming traffic or driving at night – more challenging. Still, older drivers can remain safe on the road. Consider these seven tips: 1. Stay physically active. Staying physically active improves your strength and flexibility. In turn, physical activity can improve driver safety by making it easier to turn the steering wheel, look over your shoulder and make other movements while driving and parking. 2. Schedule regular vision and hearing tests. Senses such as hearing and vision tend to decline with age, limiting the ability to hear an approaching emergency vehicle or train. And common age-related vision problems, such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration, can make it difficult to see clearly or drive at night. Even if you think your hearing and vision are fine, stick to your doctor’s recommended exam schedule. 3. Manage any chronic conditions. Work with your doctor to manage any chronic conditions, especially those that might impact driver safety, such as diabetes or seizures. Don’t drive if you’ve taken medication that causes drowsiness or dizziness. 4. Understand your limitations. For example, if your hands hurt when gripping the steering wheel, use a steering wheel cover that makes holding and turning the wheel more comfortable. An occupational therapist can offer assistive
devices to help you drive or suggest specific exercises to help you overcome your limitation. Vehicles that feature larger, easier-to-read dials on the dashboard, as well as large mirrors, power windows and door locks can also be helpful. 5. Drive under optimal conditions. Drive during the daylight in good weather, on quiet roads and in familiar areas. Plan your route to avoid rush-hour traffic. Delay your trip if the visibility is poor. Don’t drive if you’re tired or sleepy. 6. Plan ahead. When you get in your vehicle, be prepared to drive. Plan your route ahead of time so that you don’t find yourself trying to read a map or printed directions while driving. If you use a GPS device, enter your destination before you start driving. Don’t do anything that takes your focus from the road, such as eating, using a cell phone, or adjusting the radio. 7. Update your driving skills. Consider taking a refresher course for older adults. Updating your driving skills might even earn you a discount on your car insurance, depending on your policy. In addition, know when it’s time to consider other alternatives. If you become confused while you’re driving or you’re concerned about your ability to drive safely, or loved ones or others have expressed concern, it might be best to stop driving. Consider taking the bus, hiring a driver, sharing a ride with a friend, neighbor, or family member. Giving up your car keys doesn’t need to end your independence. Instead, consider it a way to keep yourself and others safe on the road. -By Mayo Clinic Staff-

Honoring Our Veterans By Vernita L. Lowe
Parkland High School in Winston Salem from 1977 to 1990. Mrs. McGhee and I talked about what it was like to be a wife and mother in the military. They have two sons, one daughter and six grandchildren. Mrs. McGhee told me that between her husband, son and sister-in-law, there is over 70 years of military time served. Her late husband served 23 years, her
Cornell McGhee, who like his father is also a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel served for 24 years and her sister-in-law Colonel Bernice McGhee retired from the Air Force after 25 years. A reenactment group representing the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII and the Vietnam War were there to display combat attire worn during
periods. To see more pictures go to www.RacingFan1.com under the heading title 2014 Events.

Air Force Colonel (Ret.) Bernice McGhee, US Army Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Dr. Cornell McGhee and US Army Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Dr. Acie McGhee, Jr. On May 31, 2014, I had the pleasure of attending the dedication ceremony at the Carolina Field of Honor. Thousands were in attendance, and Brad Jones of WGHP Fox 8 and Cameron Kent of WXII were the Masters of Ceremonies. The presentation of colors was done by Randolph County Honor Guard with Jamestown Pipes and Drums escorting. Piedmont Wind Symphony played the National Anthem which was followed by the Placement of Memorial Wreaths. For the US Army Monument - Brigadier General (Ret.) J. R. Gorham; US Marine Corps Monument – Brigadier General (Ret.) Fred Sisley; US Navy Monument – Vice Admiral (Ret.) John Morgan; US Coast Guard Monument – The Honorable Howard Coble, US Representative; US Air Force Monument – General (Ret.) Lance Smith and Memorial Obelisk – The Honorable Pat McCrory, Governor of NC. Members of the Marine Corps League 260 Detachment escorted various dignitaries. The ceremony was preceded by dedicatory prayer, the playing of Taps, Amazing Grace played by a bagpiper before the colors were retired. The Honorable Pat McCrory presented William B. Moss with The Order of the Long Leaf Pine award. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is among the most prestigious awards presented by the Governor of North Carolina. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven record of extraordinary service to the state. Recognition of WMF Board and Honored Guests was done by Cameron Kent. Presentation of “Keys” was done by William B. Moss and Robert J. O’Hanlon, who are Board of Directors members. Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis and Forsyth County Commissioner David Plyler, also Board of Directors members, were presented the “Keys” by Moss and O’Hanlon. Moss is a USMC veteran and Founder of War Memorial Foundation. O’Hanlon is a USMC veteran also and serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Davis is retired from the Marine Corps and Plyler is a USAF veteran. We are glad these two counties joined together for this cause. While there I met Louise M. McGhee, the widow of Dr. Acie McGhee, Jr., a retired US Army
Lieutenant Colonel. Mrs. McGhee is planning on having a brick placed for her husband in memory of his service to the military. Not only did Dr. Acie McGhee serve in the Army from 1954 to 1976 but also was the ROTC Senior Army Instructor at

Common Ways ID Theft Happens: Identity thieves use a variety of methods to steal your personal information, including: · Dumpster Diving. They rummage through trash looking for bills or other paper with your personal information on it. · Skimming. They steal credit/debit card numbers by using a special storage device when processing your card. · Phishing. They pretend to be financial institutions, companies or government agonies, and send email or pop-up messages to get you to reveal your personal information. · Hacking. They hack into your email or other online accounts to access your personal information, or into a company’s database to access its records. · “Old-Fashioned” Stealing. They steal wallets and purses, mail, including bank and credit card statements, pre-approved credit offers, and new checks or tax information. They steal personnel records from their employers, or bribe employees who have access.
