County TDA releases new Rivers Guide The Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) is pleased to announce the release of its completely redesigned Rockingham County Rivers Guide. The new Rivers Guide features a new look, new photography and updated content about river recreation in Rockingham County. The guide also features an updated map of the county’s four rivers: the Dan, the Mayo, the Smith and the Haw. The Rivers Guide is a four panel brochure with a large, foldout map. New features of the guide include photography that focuses more on people enjoying the rivers. The content has been expanded to include information about the Smith and the Haw Rivers as well as the Mayo River State Park and the Haw River State Park. Additions to the map include new accesses on the Dan and Smith, local outfitters, new points of interest, and accesses in Virginia that connect with Rockingham County river trips. “We are trying to make emotional connections with potential visitors in all our marketing and really wanted this new Rivers Guide to show people having fun on our rivers. We feel like our new photography conveys the wide range of emotions one can experience on Rockingham County’s rivers—from fun, to serenity, to thrills,” said Yount. Yount added, “Our local rivers remain a key attraction for leisure travelers in Rockingham County. Currently most of the visitors drawn here by the rivers are day travelers. In our new three-year marketing plan we will be working with local hotels,

outfitters and community leaders to identify new strategies for turning those day visitors into overnight visitors. We will also be looking at other ways we can improve river and outdoor recreation in Rockingham County.” The Rockingham County Rivers Guide was a project of the Rockingham County TDA and designed by King’s English, LLC. The TDA extends a special thank you to Three Rivers Outfitters and the Dan River Basin Association for their assistance on the Rivers Guide. Distribution of the Rockingham County Rivers Guide will begin this week. Copies of the guide will be available throughout the State and Triad region.

To receive copies and get more information, contact the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development office at 336.342.8138.

Teen Poetry Contest taking applications
SBC – The Powerhouse of Small Businesses There is a powerhouse resource for local businesses and many do not know it exists. It’s odd, really, because it packs such a positive punch in the local economy. Over the past three years, local business leaders who have used its services and sought its counsel, an documented average of 300 one-on-one hours per year, have reported total sales increases of $29 million. Annually, it averages retaining or creating 105 jobs in Rockingham County which impacts local payrolls every year by more than $6 million. Last year alone, it served over 100 individual clients. So, who is it? Not surprisingly, it’s the Small Business Center located in the Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center on the campus of Rockingham Community College. It has two employees with years of business experience. They have been business owners themselves. More important than the experience they bring to the job is the fact that they are an arm of the powerful Small Business Administration (SBA), a federal program recognized at the highest levels as the lifeblood of American business. Its administrator is a member of the U.S. President’s cabinet and a key member of the President’s economic leadership team. Its charge, and the charge of all its centers, is to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business. Small Business Centers like the one housed on the second floor of RCCs Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center, are part of a statewide network of more than 60 centers. Their existence is mirrored throughout the nation. They are all plugged into and essential parts of the hubs that drive local economies. In North Carolina, Small Business Centers throughout the state are tied directly to North Carolina’s public university and community college systems. This means a wealth of information is available at the fingertip of every current and aspiring entrepreneur; information based on historical facts and figures, latest trends and techniques, and current laws and regulations. Every angle of business is covered: an important fact for North Carolina entrepreneurs, 97 percent of whom operate small businesses. According to the latest data, the Rockingham Community College Small Business Center, together with its sister centers throughout the state, provide services to over 70,000 individuals annually. On average they create/retain approximately 3,500 jobs per year. Job creation is part of series of events between the SBC personnel and entrepreneurs. At the Small Business Center at Rockingham Community College, those events include one-on-one counseling, weekly educational seminars ranked highly by attendees, a successful
GATE (Growing America Through Entrepreneurship) program and How to Start/Stay in Business course, loan assistance and more. The documented success of the Small Business Center on the Rockingham Community College campus earned it a Center of Excellence Award by the State Board of Community Colleges. In June 2012, the award was accepted in Raleigh by the center’s director, Cathy Wheeler. Its other employee, GATE counselor Debi Joyce, recently became one of only four regional GATE counselors in the state. Her GATE program was so successful it drew the attention of federal Project Gate representatives who came to the campus to observe her in action and was featured in a “Best Practices Sharing” session attended by representatives from the U.S. Department of Labor. The power of this effective Small Business Center at RCC has produced positive and powerful results in Rockingham County for decades. Its impact on local lives and local small businesses – from farmers to craftsmen to restaurateurs to manufacturers – continues to be far reaching.
The Rockingham County Public Library and the Friends of the Libraries are sponsoring their annual Teen Poetry Contest during the month of March. The competition is open to teens age 11-19. Rules and entry forms are available from a school language arts teacher, from a school librarian, from all the public libraries as well as the library website: www.rcpl.org Prizes are awarded on two levels: middle school and high school. A blue ribbon and a $25 gift card is first prize. A red ribbon and a $15 gift card is second prize. An honorable mention ribbon and a gift card for $10 will be awarded as well. The poetry is due at the public library by 4 p.m. on March 2 Seminars for Agriculture lovers, Profitable Agri-tourism in Rockingham County, Wed. Mar. 13,13 - Starting at 3:30 pm, RC Agricultural Building, 525 Hwy 65, Reidsville. Please join us for an interactive workshop with Carla Barbieri, NCSU Parks, Recreation, & Tourism Extension Specialist as moderator. This event is for farmers already doing Agri-tourism and those interested in starting these types of businesses on the farm. We will be discussing some important “surprises” that you may need to plan for with visitors to your farms. Registration to Kathryn Holmes, RC Cooperative Extension Agent 336-342-8230,
23rd. Please note that Stoneville and Mayodan Libraries are closed on Saturdays. All poetry will be on display

Morehead students produce informative video Six students from Morehead High School participated in a statewide community video project to raise awareness about some of the social issues facing teenagers. Working with the Rockingham County Student Health Centers, which operate health centers at the four traditional high schools in the county, the students tackled the issues of bullying, sexting and dating violence. Cathy DeMason, Director of the Rockingham County Student Health Centers said “these issues are important to address because they are some of the issues our students are having the most difficulty with at this time. If we can teach our students to identify different types of bullying and inform them how to get help we hope to decrease the amount of depression, fear and school absences caused by bullying.” Titled “I Deserve Better” the
5 - minute video uses fictional dramatizations to depict real-life situations that teens face. The script was written by Annie Kate Smith, a senior at Morehead, who also directed it. It was filmed by Jacob Hylton and Annie Kate. Both students appear in the dramatizations, along with Jesse Gauldin, Breanna Hyler, Jacob Shelton and Tatiana OlguinTrejo. DeMason hopes that the short video will have a viewing at each school and may also be used by faith and youth organizations in the community to start conversations about these topics. Counseling is available to students at the Student Health Center who may find themselves in situations similar to the ones depicted in the video or who have other mental health concerns. In addition to providing health care services such as treatment and diagnosis of minor illnesses and injuries, chronic disease monitor-
ing, immunizations and physical exams, the Student Health Centers also offer nutrition counseling, social work services and health education services. The centers mission is to improve the health and school performance of Rockingham County students. A parental consent form is required before students can be seen at the center, but visits are confidential. The Community Video Project was sponsored by Young Moms Connect, which receives federal funding through the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. Students participated from across the state. As part of the initiative, they received training from a professional videographer and were loaned video equipment. To view the video, visit www.rcshc.weebly.com or contact Cathy DeMason at 336-6239711 or cdemason@rock.k12.nc.us .

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life
Sheriff Page makes trip to D.C. Released by Deputy Kevin Suthard, Public Information Officer for the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.
In January Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page made a return trip to Washington, D.C. to attend the National Sheriff's Association (NSA) Winter Conference. While there, Sheriff Page began his second year serving on the NSA Border Security and Immigration Committee and was scheduled to visit with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio's staff, along with U.S. Senators Kay Hagan, Richard Burr and their staff. During the Sheriff's visits with the U.S. Senator's Offices, the plan was to : 1.) Engage in discussions about current and future immigration policy for long term solutions in America. 2.) Support the protection of our 2nd Amendment rights through careful, reasonable, and responsible discussion of firearm legislation currently before Congress. 3.) Request support for additional funding of Mental Health care in North Carolina. 4.) Grant funding for additional Resource Officers in our Elementary Schools, and to support additional School Counselors, and anti-bullying programs in our schools across America. During the Sheriff's visit to Washington, D.C. he had the opportunity to network with Federal Authorities, State Authorities, and Sheriff's from across America on issues facing our communities, and nation. “I hope to learn more about ways to improve safety in Rockingham County through the seminars that will be provided and also to bring back information about new technology that can enhance our crime fighting efforts.” – Sheriff Sam Page

On Sunday, January 27, 2013 at approximately 2:45am, Officers with the Eden Police Department observed a motor vehicle down an embankment on Harrington Highway near Bethlehem Church Road. Officers noticed the dome light on in the vehicle and turned around to provide assistance. When the officers checked the vehicle and found the vehicle unoccupied. Officers discovered the wrecked vehicle was stolen from a residence in Reidsville and called for additional assistance to attempt to locate the operator of the stolen vehicle. Additional officers arrived and began a search to locate the operator by canvassing the area in vehicles and utilizing the Eden Police Department’s K-9. As officers were searching the area, the juvinile suspect gained entry to an Eden Police patrol vehicle and left the area. A short time later, an officer with the Mayodan Police Department located the stolen Eden Police Department patrol vehicle in Mayodan and attempted speak with the suspect driving the stolen vehicle. The suspect began to flee in the patrol car, striking the Mayodan officer’s patrol vehicle. During the pursuit, Mayodan Police Department was assisted by Madison Police Department, Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department and the Stokes County Sheriff’s Department. The pursuit ended when the juvenile lost control of the vehicle at the intersection of Highway 704 and Highway 8 in Stokes County at the intersection of Highway 704 and Highway 8. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Stokes County Sheriff’s Department. Due to the suspect being a juvenile no personal information will be released.

6 Health Tips
About Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes! Not me! Those may be the first words that come to mind if you're diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It isn't news anyone wants to hear. It's true—you will need to make some changes, but your life sure isn't over. And, with so many diabetes resources online and in your community, you don't have to go it alone. First, it may help to get a little clearer about what diabetes is. Your body needs insulin to break down sugar (glucose) into energy. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body either doesn't have enough insulin or doesn't use it well. So glucose stays in your blood, causing problems. There isn't a cure for type 2 diabetes. But you can learn to manage it well. You can keep your blood glucose in a safe range by balancing the food you eat with exercise—and medicine, if your doctor prescribes it. Be sure to make all your doctor appointments. You may also need to learn how to check your blood glucose. Here are six tips to get you started taking better care of yourself. 1.Get clear about the roles of your diabetes care team: This may include your doctor, nurse, dietitian, diabetes educator, and me, of course—your pharmacist. You can also attend our monthly diabetes education program. 2.Learn about healthy eating. Diabetes diets aren't as restrictive as they once were. The key thing is to eat a variety of healthy foods—not too much and not too much of one type of food. Don't skip meals, and space your meals throughout the day. 3.Try the "Plate Method" for planning your meals. Divide your plate in half, and then divide one side in half again. Fill the largest section with non-starchy vegetables. In one small section, put starchy foods such as whole-grain breads, rice, potatoes, or cereal. In the other small section, put meat or meat substitutes. Add eight ounces of nonfat or low-fat milk and a piece of fruit. 4.Look for ways to be active throughout the day. Need to make phone calls? Get up and move around while talking. Taking the bus? Get off a stop early and walk. Ask your doctor how much aerobic activity you need daily. This can help your insulin work better. If you need to lose weight, try for more than 30 minutes a day of aerobic activity. Dropping just 10 or 15 pounds makes a big difference. 5.Has your doctor prescribed medication to keep your blood glucose in a healthy range? If so, get clear about how many to take and how often. Also, learn how to prevent side effects and what to do if you have any. 6.Learn how to check your blood glucose at home if your doctor asks you to. Your doctor or diabetes educator can help you select a meter that works well for you and is covered by your insurance. Remember: I'm part of your diabetes care team. You can think of me as your "go-to" person for answering any questions you have about your diabetes medications. You can do this! 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.

Notes from RCC
County
DRBA celebrates two milestones in March at RCC Come and celebrate two milestones! The Dan River Basin Association marks eleven years of successes, and the newly extended trail system at Rockingham Community College will officially open. DRBA's Annual Celebration will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 2, in the Whitcomb Student Center at Rockingham Community College, 484 County Home Road, Wentworth, NC (GPS 36.386552, -79.755914). The public is invited free of charge. The day's activities will include all the major elements of DRBA's mission-preserving and promoting the region's rivers and culture through education, recreation and stewardship. In addition, a look back over the past year will provide inspiration for the coming years' efforts in the multi-county, bi-state river basin. After a half hour to enjoy refreshments and view displays, the short business session will include recognition of extraordinary volunteer service, election of board members, and staff reports on the Association's extensive activities in Virginia and North Carolina since last March, as well as a glimpse of the year ahead. Featured as the Celebration's speakers are two exceptional educators who guided DRBA's Stream Team Community Partnership Project, which has reclaimed a neglected stream in Danville. Nurse and health educator Sherri Wright engaged students and staff at the Galileo Magnet School, who joined students from the WW Moore Juvenile Detention
Center, led by their teacher and mentor Jane Clardy. Wright and Clardy will describe their students' experience and share a documentary created by the participants. Come and enjoy "DRBA: Making It Happen!"
DRBA's Annual Celebration will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 2 Encompassing portions of sixteen counties in Virginia and North Carolina in its 3300square-mile watershed, the Dan River Basin includes six riversthe Mayo, Smith, Sandy, Banister, Hyco, and, of course, the Dan. The Dan River Basin Association was formed in 2002 to preserve and promote the region's abundant natural and cultural resources. Recognizing that this beautiful area, extending from the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the broad waters of Kerr (Buggs Island) Lake, shares a history of reliance on the rivers for transportation, commerce, and industry, DRBA provides a unified vision of cooperation across geographic boundaries. Members and guests will hear reports from the Association's staff, including Executive Director Tiffany Haworth and program managers and coordinators from both states. Following the meeting and
lunch provided by each participant, at 1:15 p.m. DRBA members and guests will join Rockingham Community College staff and faculty for a ribbon-cutting at the trailhead of the RCC Trails. Newly extended and refurbished as a joint project of DRBA and RCC, the trails system is now five miles long, winding through hilly woodlands, skirting meadows, and paralleling and crossing rocky streams. Participants in the Celebration are asked to bring a picnic lunch to be eaten at the Student Center, or plan to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant of their choosing. All participants will be offered a lunch special at Mom's Kitchen and Elizabeth's Pizza, both within one mile of RCC. Those joining in the afterlunch hike should wear hiking boots or walking shoes and dress in layers. Joining DRBA Events is Easy. Meetings and outings of the Dan River Basin Association are free and open to the public. For information about the celebration or the hike, contact T Butler, members@danriver.org or 336-349-5727. Membership information is available at www.danriver.org. About DRBA The Dan River Basin (DRBA) protects and promotes the natural and cultural assets of the Dan River Basin through stewardship, education and recreation.

Deputy Debra Coleman with Sheriff Sam Page
Coleman named Deputy of the Month Deputy Kevin Suthard, Public Information Officer for the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.
The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office would like to congratulate Deputy Debra Coleman on being chosen as “Deputy of the Month” for her outstanding contributions to the Sheriff’s Office and the Rockingham County citizens we serve during the month of January 2013. Deputy Coleman is a 20 year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office and currently holds the rank of Corporal within the agency. She is the supervisor of the Sheriff’s Records Division, where she oversees Firearm Purchase and Carry Concealed Permits, data entry of criminal and civil paperwork received by the Sheriff’s Office, and maintaining our county’s sex offender registry. “My thanks go out to Corporal Debra Coleman for her outstanding efforts during the month of January. She is a true asset to the Sheriff’s Office and to me. We are lucky and thankful to have her working here.” –Sheriff Sam Page
Sheriff releases Association’s views on Gun Control Deputy Kevin Suthard, Public Information Officer for the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office
Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page is an active member in the National Sheriffs Association. Listed below is the position of the National Sheriffs Association on the issue of Gun Control: 1. Rule of Law. Our nation's Sheriffs recognize the rule of law in the United States in which the Supreme Court and lower courts are the ultimate authority in determining the constitutionality of any law. 2. Second Amendment. Our nation's Sheriffs support and are sworn to uphold the constitution and the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment. 3. Comprehensive approach. Gun control alone will not solve the problem of guns and extreme violence. Society needs a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to this much facetted issue. 4. Records Access. Law enforcement must have access to relevant records to determine whether a person is legally prohibited from possession of firearms by major improvements in the National Instant Check System.

"As the field representative for Senator Burr, my job is to help him cover the 100 counties of North Carolina – to be his eyes and ears in places he can’t be all the time. It is important to Senator Burr that he and the staff are aware of programs like the one at the woodworking center. This program, in particular, helps preserve and enhance traditional skills and adapt them to new technology. It also important for the Senate office to maintain a relationship with educators and remain informed about how the Senator might be of assistance."

Partnership for Children receives funds to support Young Mom’s Connect Initiative The Rockingham County Partnership for Children (RCPC) received an additional $27,773 from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to extend its services to young families and continuing education support to service providers throughout Rockingham County. Beginning April 1, 2011, Rockingham County was one of five counties across the state selected to participate in the Young Moms Connect Program. The goal of the program is to support and improve community efforts that work to advance the health of pregnant and parenting women and their families. Key areas of focus include access to and improvement of services to young families. These additional funds raise the total amount invested in our county through the Young Moms Connect program to $567,136.00, continuing through August 31, 2013. Since its inception, the Rockingham County Partnership for Children Young Moms Connect program has served over 400 families through partnerships with six community agencies: A Safe Hands Transportation, Help, Inc., Morehead Hospital/ Rockingham County Student Health Centers, Rockingham County Schools, Rockingham County Department of Public Health, and the Rockingham Pregnancy Care Center. The additional funding will serve to increase support to young families in the following ways: • Provide GED testing assistance for 100 young pregnant and/or parenting students enrolled in the Rockingham Community College Continuing Education Program. • Provide textbook vouchers to 25 young pregnant and/or parenting students enrolled in local colleges or universities. • Provide Motheread/Fatheread® sessions, focusing on adult and child literacy, the development of parenting skills, the establishment of a medical home, and the importance of prenatal care and positive child development. • Promote and utilize Conscious Discipline® evidence based parent and child character education techniques and best practices. A workshop will be hosted for both parents and childcare providers. • Collaborate with the Wayne County Partnership for Children to host a college tour and leadership/character building event in Charlotte, NC for the Young Moms Connect Leadership Council. • Provide 5 healthy weight and nutrition workshops for teen parents currently enrolled in the Rockingham County Schools system. • Host a professional development workshop for professionals and area providers focusing on addressing health literacy of young families. • Provide childcare and transportation support as needed to enrolled families. Healthy, supported families that feel confident in their parenting skills and their ability to access needed resources are crucial to children’s success and readiness for school. Building a strong foundation is our wish for all children and families in Rockingham County. If you would like more information about the initiative, please contact Dawn Charaba at 336-342-9676 or via email dawnc@rockinghamkids.org

Berger assists new financial crimes unit Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger, Jr. has been chosen to serve on panel to select the Financial Crimes Prosecutor for the Piedmont region. Berger is one of four prosecutors who will conduct interviews for the position. More than 114 individuals applied for four openings throughout the state. "Business owners are having a tough time making ends meet in this economy," Berger said. "Their bottom line should not suffer because an employee embezzles money or commits fraud. But if they are victimized, the business community will know that highly trained prosecutors are there to help." The Financial Crimes Unit is a program from the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys. This unit was established to advance the prosecution of criminal offenses committed for financial gain by providing training and resources to prosecutors and law enforcement in North Carolina. There will be four Financial Crimes Prosecutors throughout the state, and the prosecutor selected for the Piedmont region will cover 24 counties from Ashe County to Richmond County. Berger, Davidson County District Attorney Garry Frank, along with Conference of District Attorney's resource prosecutors Kimberly Overton and Tammy Smith will interview applicants tomorrow in Davidson County.

Cancer is a word… determination is a better one She says she wasn’t crazy about hair anyway which is why she kept it cropped to an inch. But the first time Sherri McDaniel’s 19-year-old son saw her bald, caused by the powerful drugs carried through her blood, he cried. So did her nephew. Suddenly, the disease they couldn’t see was right there in front of them. Their mother, aunt had cancer. McDaniel, 50, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in September 2012. She had surgery in October and began chemotherapy in November which ends in early March. Then she endures eight weeks of radiation. Since her diagnosis, what has inspired her classmates, instructors, friends, family and strangers is her will. Sherry McDaniel wants a respiratory therapy degree from Rockingham Community College and when she learned of her disease, she was just two semesters away from earning it. She had been looking forward to a May 2013 graduation. She was so close when the disease knocked her to her knees. But, despite breast surgery; despite severe fatigue, nausea, and drug induced grogginess; despite doctors’ orders to stop driving; despite the disease causing her to lose the only financial support she had; despite all of that McDaniel still finished her fall semester – sometimes coming to school in a mask to protect her from germs. She did it for her son, to show him that you don’t quit when life gets tough, and for herself, because she wants her degree so badly. And despite that graduation is now May 2014 rather than 2013, she is grateful. “RCC has been great! They arranged for me to complete my fall clinicals before I had surgery.” McDaniel was able to wait
on her fall semester coursework until she was healed enough from surgery to continue. And when she continued, she did not slack off. She made A’s. Classmates, members of a classmate’s church family, friends, McDaniel’s own family, and instructors have given support, driven her to and from school, and/or helped out with expenses. Cone Health Cancer Center paid her rent one month and the Barry Joyce Foundation in Stoneville helped with her Duke Power bill. “You know,” she said, “most of the time you take life and people for granted. You get up, get dressed, go to work or school or whatever and don’t think much about it.” She pauses a moment. “But when you face something serious like this, you don’t take a day for granted. You might think, ‘I don’t feel very good.’ But then you might realize, ‘Well I don’t feel as bad as I did the other day! “And when people help you the way they’ve helped me, it’s overwhelming. You remember just how good people are.” Triple negative breast cancer disproportionately attacks African-American women, only accounts for 15 percent of all breast cancers, and along with all other cancers, does not run in McDaniel’s family. Therefore, she was asked to go to Chapel Hill Medical Center for DNA testing to see if she has an errant gene that can be passed to future generations. McDaniel is not going to think about genes, income, the need for a job or the other uncertainties that could bring her down. She's profoundly thankful and determined to focus on the future she's working so hard to obtain. Others are focused on McDaniel and the incredible inspiration she has become to them.

AlertID™ partners with McGruff The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and AlertID, Inc. recently announced a comprehensive national partnership to help make critical public safety information universally accessible. Under the terms of the partnership, AlertID will make its free mobile app and online public safety services available to NCPC and other partner organizations across the country. Through this project, NCPC will provide vital safety informa-
tion to young adults in high school and college to help them learn about the threats they may face and encourage them to adopt crime prevention strategies to avoid those threats or better address any that do arise. The national partnership developed from discussions around the First Timers Resource Project for Young Adults, which NCPC developed with the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the U.S. Department of Justice.

House Representative Gabriel Gifford, her husband, members of the National Rifle Association (NRA), Representative Wayne La Pierre and other well known Senators who spoke during the two hour discussion. This was the second time that Sheriff Page has attended a Judiciary committee hearing. In 2011 Sheriff Page testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the success of the "Secure Communities I.C.E. Program", which all North Carolina Sheriff's participate in. Sheriff Page attended special guest speaker sessions during the National Sheriff's Conference covering topics on leadership and other areas of interest to Sheriffs. Some of the topics discussed included recent Congressional gun legislation proposals, school safety, mental health issues and reduction in services across the U.S., Immigration Reform and Borders Security issues. “Overall I felt that I received current information on what's happening in our new Congress, what's new in training for our Deputies by the National Sheriff's Association, challenges facing modern law enforcement and crime prevention tools. It is my hope that some of the topics that I discussed with our U.S. Senators will receive consideration, discussion, and bi-partisan support to help our Rockingham County citizens, as well as citizens across our country” says Page.

F o r those of you who read my c o l u m n every month I am truly sorry for not getting last month's in White on time. My hope for the year of 2013 being the Year of Bliss has not started out that way. Amy had the flu, I had the flu, mother had surgery and then got sick from being in the hospital. One thing about sitting in the hospital for most of the month was I had time to make some decision while Mom was resting. I took stock of what I considered my talents. When the cleaners was sold I thought no problem I have a degree and I have run a successful business for 20 years a job will be no problem to find. Not so much, but I wasn't really looking for a job. I am grateful for what the family business allowed me in the past but for the future I wanted something else. I just wasn't sure what. It seems that when I took stock of my skills they amounted to those of a 50's housewife. I can do laundry, cook a great pot roast and I make a devil of a martini. Now there is nothing wrong with being a housewife. It just doesn't pay very well and there are not a lot of jobs requiring that particle set of skills. I fell into the trap of waiting for life to give me what I wanted. I had paid my dues it was time. Why was life not holding up her end of the bargain? You can't make a deal with life. It's all or nothing with her, if you want something you are the only person who can make it happen. As I took stock of what was going on in my life and that of my friends it became apparent that I was not making it happen. I was reacting to what was happening not making it happen. My wife got her degree, Connie and Robin are working on theirs, Mark has changed his job and his wife Amy has run a marathon. It was time to get off the porch! So I starting looking for what I really like to do. I wanted to help make people feel better. I know it sounds silly but I wanted a job where I could make people happy and feel better about themselves. So this month I start Massage Therapy school! Yep at this age I am going to completely change careers. I should be licensed by December so put a gift certificate from Peace, Love and Massage on your Christmas list. You should also notice that the name of my column has changed from RUN FOR YOUR LIFE to RUN TO LIFE. It is a little change in print but a big change in attitude. So start running when you need a break find me I make a mad Sweet Tea Martini. Hey I gotta keep up my skills. I might change jobs again when I am 60.

RCS Principal of the Year Named Regional Wells Fargo Principal of the Year McMichael High (DMHS) principal Leigh Jones has been named the Piedmont-Triad/ Central Region Wells Fargo Principal of the Year. Jones was in the running for the honor after being named Rockingham County Schools Principal of the Year. Jones becomes one of eight NC principals considered for 2013 State Principal of the Year. As a regional winner, Jones will receive $1,000 for personal use as well as $1,000 for McMichael High. “I am so proud to be a member of Rockingham County Schools and to be the principal of McMichael High School,” Jones said. “I have phenomenal teachers and students here at McMichael. All of our accomplishments are a direct result of the hard work and dedication of DMHS’ students, staff and community. I am so thankful to them for all that they do. I'm only a motivator to help them continue to push forward.” “This recognition is well deserved; I am extremely proud of Ms. Jones. The high school principalship is a challenging and demanding role, but she inspires, empowers and focuses on what is best for her students. She leads by example and truly cares about her students and staff. She is committed to them and they are committed to her,” said Dr. Rodney Shotwell, superintendent of Rockingham County Schools. “Leigh Jones is one of the most driven people I have ever worked with, and our students, staff, and community are fortunate to have her leadership at McMichael High.” A State Selection Committee will review the portfolios of the eight regional winners and visit each candidate’s school campus. Results of these site visits, portfolio assessments and personal interviews will be used to determine the 2013 Wells Fargo North Carolina Principal of the Year. The winner will be announced in the spring during a luncheon sponsored by Wells Fargo to honor the regional winners. Since the program began in 1984, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and The Wells Fargo Foundation have recognized 33 Principals of the Year. The Wells Fargo Foundation has provided more than $1 million in cash awards to the state and regional winners.

Rockingham County Safety/ Risk Manager Mark Holzer and the Safety/Wellness Dancers have been pushing health, safety and wellness to County employees for several years. Apparently it’s working because our County
Veteran’s Wall coming to Eden The American Legion Post 254 plans to bring the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to Freedom Park in Eden in June this year. To successfully complete the project for our community, they need the city, individuals and businesses / Corporations to endorse theis event with their financial contributions and volunteer hours. The aim is simple. With your support in June 2013 the local American Legion post will bring the Wall to Freedom Park for everyone to enjoy. This is a once in a lifetime event for Rockingham County and surrounding areas as well. There are 58,267 names listed on the Wall which includes those added in 2010. There are three sets of fathers and sons and 31 sets of brothers on the Wall. “Those of us who survived the war and to the families of those who did not, we see the faces. We feel the pain that these numbers created... There are no nobel wars, just noble warriors,” said David Turner, Commander Post 254. Join the project with your financial contribution to the American Legion Post 254, P.O. Box 852, Eden, NC 27289-0852.
Government has seen its health insurance increase at only half the rate of the national average! Rockingham County Commissioners, department heads, Safety & Wellness Committee members, and employees with outstanding performance, commitment or participation in safety and wellness participated in the event. Activities showcased safety/wellness successes from the previous calendar year and trending from previous years and recognized managers and employees for their contributions with special awards. Insurance carriers for the County Government assisted in sponsoring the event.
Join the Rockingham County naturalist club in February and March and enjoy leisurely educational Walks. Following are the clubs events for the upcoming season. Also note that their website is www.rockinghamnaturalists.org • March 17 – Sunday: Bobby Irving will guide us on a walk in woods belonging to his family in Wentworth on a tributary of Massey Creek. We are hoping spring wildflowers will be in bloom, but for certain we will visit a truly massive Beech tree and find out how many club members it takes to reach around it. Moderately difficult. • April 21 – Sunday: Leave RCC at 2 p.m. We will walk on the property of the Harbour family on the Dan River east of Eden. There should be a variety of beautiful wildflowers in bloom, including Trout Lilies. The walk will be of moderate difficulty. Milton Hundley will lead us. • May 19 – Sunday: Leave RCC at 2 p.m. We’ll visit property of the Lamiman family in Wentworth on Bold Run Creek. This will be another walk along a nice small creek that is likely to have some wildflowers on its banks at this time of year. Bob Carter is our leader. Moderately difficult walking. • June 8 – Saturday: A new event – our first early summer birding trip, to identify the species of breeding birds in our county and estimate their numbers. Still being planned, call Lucy Berry in May at 939-9367 for information. • June 9 – Sunday: Leave RCC at 1:30 p.m. for about a 45 minute drive to Hanging Rock State Park, for a picnic and a walk. It’s the club’s annual covered dish picnic; so bring a dish to share with others. The club has
reserved one the park’s covered picnic pavilions, so we will be “weather proof.” Restrooms are available. We will eat on arrival. After we eat, you can choose between a more strenuous hike on the Indian Falls trial, 3.7 miles long, or shorter walk on a trail of moderate walking difficulty, to be chosen. Usually a variety of plants, trees, and birds can be seen. Please join us for a relaxed afternoon in a beautiful setting.

For The Fun Of It Door to Door
Directions
An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks. A lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties all over the carpet. He says, “Lady, if this vacuum cleaner doesn’t do wonders cleaning this up, I’ll eat every chunk of it.” She turns to him with a smirk and says, “You want ketchup on that?” The salesman says, “Why do you ask?” She says, “We just moved in and we haven’t got the electricity turned on yet.”.
A driver pulled up beside a rundown farmhouse. He got out and knocked at the door. A very old woman answered the door, and he asked her for directions to Des Moines. “Don’t know,” the woman said. He got back in his car and pulled away. Then he heard voices. He looked in his rear view mirror and saw the woman and an equally old man waving for him to come back. So he made a U-turn and drove up to them. “This is my husband,” the old woman said. “He doesn’t know how to get to Des Moines either.”.
Secondary Route
The New Employee
The city woman was driving a secondary route through the mountains at night. She hadn’t seen a town for miles, and her gas gauge was almost on empty. Finally, she came to a crossroads community with a few houses. A ramshackle country store had a light on and a single, antiquated gas pump in front. Happily, the storekeeper assured her that the pump still worked. “This sure is a tiny village,” the woman said as he topped off her tank. “What on earth do you do for a living around here?” “We charge $10 a gallon for gas,” he drawled. Conversation A salesman was trying to strike up a conversation with a wily, tight-lipped mountaineer. “Have you lived all your life in these parts?” he tried. “Not yet,” was the sour reply.
Several weeks after a young man had been hired, he was called into the personnel director's office. "What is the meaning of this?" the director asked. "When you applied for this job, you told us you had five years experience. Now we discovered this is the first job you've ever held." "Well," the young man replied, "in your advertisement you said you wanted somebody with imagination."
Camoflage A man attired in camoflage entered a butcher shop. “Can you sell me a couple of undressed ducks?” he asked. “Well, no. We have no fresh ducks at the moment. I can sell you a nice selection of poultry broilers, though.” “Chickens!” the customer scoffed. “No way. I can’t go home and tell my wife I bagged a couple of chickens!”
Chocolate Rules 1. If you’ve got melted chocolate all over your hands, you’re eating it too slowly. 2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. 3. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot. 4. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It’ll take the edge off your appetite and you’ll eat less. 5. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. 6. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? 7. Money talks. Chocolate sings. 8. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. 9. Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? A. Because no one wants to quit. 10. Put “eat chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you’ll get one thing done. 11. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn’t that handy? 12. If you can’t eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can’t eat all your chocolate, what’s wrong with you?

A frog calls a psychic
Out of food supplies
Recently, the Psychic Hotline and Psychic Friends Network have launched hotlines for frogs. Here is the story of one frog and his discussing with his psychic. A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you." The frog says, "This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?" "No," says the psychic. "Next semester in her biology class."
With four daughters and one son always dashing to school activities and part-time jobs, our schedule was hectic. To add to this, we kept running out of household supplies. I instructed them all to let me know when they used the last of any item by writing it down on a note pad on the refrigerator. As a reminder, I wrote at the top: "IF WE ARE OUT OF IT, WRITE IT DOWN." When I checked the pad a few days later, to my delight I found the following message: "MOM, YOU MAY BE A BIT OLD-FASHIONED, BUT YOU ARE NOT 'OUT OF IT."
Lots of ways to ruin a date. Here are a few things NOT to say on a date... I really don't like this restaurant that much, but I wanted to use this 2-for-1 coupon before it expired. I refuse to get cable. That's how they keep tabs on you. I used to come here all the time with my ex. Could you excuse me? My cat gets lonely if he doesn't hear my voice on the answering machine every hour. I really feel that I've grown in the past few years. Used to be I wouldn't have given someone like you a second look. It's been tough, but I've come to accept that most people I date just won't be as smart as I am.
Impossible Birthday A grade two teacher was in the middle of a math example on addition... TEACHER: How old were you on your last birthday? STUDENT: Seven. TEACHER: How old will you be on your next birthday? STUDENT: Nine. TEACHER: That's impossible. STUDENT: No, it isn't, Teacher. I'm eight today.
Would you please do me a favor? A dentist, after completing work on a patient, came to him begging. Dentist: Could you help me? Could you give out a few of your loudest, most painful screams? Patient: Why? Doctor, it wasn't all that bad this time. Dentist: There are so many people in the waiting room right now, and I don't want to miss the four o'clock ball game.
Asked in science class REAL QUESTIONS ASKED IN SCIENCE CLASSES Are the rivers flowing up the mountain or down the mountain? Is that the ocean? (Asked while on a field trip to Marine Lab Beach on Guam (a small island in the Pacific). How can the river be flowing north? That's uphill! How can mass wasting be an agent of landscape formation on the Moon? The Moon has no gravity! How do I get water into this beaker?

Applications accepted soon for Eden Youth Council By Sheralene Thompson, City Clerk
The City of Eden will soon begin receiving applications for the 2013-2014 Eden Youth Council. Beginning March 18 through April 30, Eden area youths ages 14 to 20 living in the Morehead High School Attendance Zone are encouraged to apply. The formation of the Eden Youth Council was approved by the Eden City Council in May 2012. Made up of youth from the Eden area, the Eden Youth Council provides advice to the Eden City Council and other organizations within the city. The main purpose of the Eden Youth Council is to meet the needs of young people within the community. The council learns about their community, civic involvement, teamwork, how to work with each other for a common good, respect for each other and the work ethics that it takes to become responsible citizens. It gives them an opportunity to develop leadership skills, prac-
tice democracy and it provides a formal role in the decision-making process as well. The Eden Youth Council held their first orientation meeting in October 2012 with the meeting called to order by Chairman Jesse Barnes. One of the first service projects that the Eden Youth Council worked on was to make soldier care packages. The council collected various necessities that included baby wipes, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, sewing kits, shoe laces, candy, snack cakes, gum, cocoa mix, newspapers and magazines, ink pens, note pads, puzzle books and lots of other items that were packaged and mailed out to the soldiers on Dec. 17. They also assisted the Salvation Army by ringing the bell on Dec. 21. Current projects being discussed include the upcoming community donation garden and Adopt-A-Street. Current members of the Eden Youth Council include:
Executive Council - Chair Jesse Barnes; Vice Chair Logan Boothe; Secretary Ann Fitts; Media Committee Coordinator Hannah Thompson; Service Coordinator Laura Shumate; and Recruiting Coordinator Jacob Scales. Eden Youth Council Committees are Media Committee - Hannah Thompson, Sierra Jones, Sierra Carelock, Chancey Odonits and Ann Fitts; Service Committee - Laura Shumate, Heather Jachimiak, Mackenzie Woods, Sheridan Hodges and Alex Parsons; Recruiting Committee - Jacob Scales, Isaac Hopkins, William Pryor and Winston Griffin. Youth of all backgrounds are welcomed. We are seeking Morehead High School students, non-students, students from Rockingham Community College, private schools and home-schooled students who want to shape the future of Eden.

Mayor Grogan receives prestigious state award A surprised Mayor John Grogan stole the show at the Feb. 19 Eden City Council meeting when it was announced he had been awarded one of the state’s most prestigious honors, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Before she left office, former Gov. Bev Perdue signed the certificate naming Grogan for his record of extraordinary service to the state. The award was presented to Grogan by Reidsville Mayor James Festerman, also a recipient. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, created in 1963, is one of the highest honors the governor can bestow. Contributions to their communities, extra effort in their careers, and many years of service to their organizations are some of the guidelines by which people are selected for this distinguished award. Grogan easily met the requirements for membership. Not only has he served as Eden’s mayor since 2005, he previously served on the City Council for 20 years. Grogan’s commitment to the area has been profound. After retiring as a bank

623-3975 247 West Kings Right: Reidsville Mayor James Festerman and Left: Graham Pervier, president of the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic Development talk with Mayor John Grogan of Eden manager, Grogan was the Eden Chamber of Commerce president for 7 years. He has served on many boards and committees assigned to economic growth and community development and he was one of the main proponents of Eden’s winning the AllAmerica City title. Among the many honors he has received, Grogan was named Eden’s Citizen of the Year in 1971 and the Piedmont Triad’s First Economic Development “Star” in 1994.
Upon being named to the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the honoree receives a certificate by which the governor confers upon the recipient “…the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary, privileged to enjoy fully all rights granted to members of this exalted order.” Past recipients include such Maya Angelou, Billy Graham, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Petty, Coretta Scott King and Andy Griffith.
City employee wins distinguished citizen award T h e Eden Chamber of Commerce held its 2012 Leadership Recognition Award Dinner on Jan. 29 at Santana’s restaurant in Overby Eden. Several awards were given to area Chamber leaders that evening. However, its highest honor - the Distinguished Citizen Award was given to Kathy “Tank” Overby. Overby has been a full-time employee for the City of Eden in the Parks and Recreation Department for the past 26 years. She presently serves as the center director at the Bridge Street Recreation Center and as the supervisor at Freedom Park. “Unlike many in today’s society, she doesn’t see her job as a job; she views it as an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others,” Eden City

Manager Brad Corcoran said. Corcoran nominated Overby and has long admired her dedication and commitment to the Eden community. Her routine actions include everything from organizing successful fundraising campaigns around Christmas in order to provide clothing and food for many of the disadvantaged children in the city to assisting and insisting that children do their homework at the recreation center after school, to helping individuals look for employment opportunities to using her own hard-earned money to buy food, shoes and other clothing for children in need. Many of the children she has assisted have remained very close to her and she is one of the reasons many of these children have excelled in school and have grown up to become productive citizens in our city and surrounding areas. Her love for the All-America City of Eden is unconditional and she has played a significant role
in helping to provide programs and service that enhance the quality of life of all Eden citizens. The Leadership Recognition Dinner attendees gave Overby a standing ovation as she was awarded her plaque. She also received a jacket and T-shirt embroidered with “2012 Eden Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen.”

City Health Fair returns By Melinda Ward, Wastewater Superintendent
This month the City of Eden again be doing our annual Health Fair for our employees to showcase the local opportunities that are available to each one from our local area to help them stay at their healthiest. We usually have a great turnout of vendors that are willing to answer questions and help interested employees find the resources that they may need. We will also be gearing up for the March of Dimes. We usually have a team that walks and raises funds so that future children can all have a chance at life. The walk will not be happening until the beginning of May, but that will give the team plenty of time to start their fundraising efforts and get their body ready for the 5K trek. We want to do what we can to get these important messages of awareness out to everyone in this community because in many cases, you as citizens are also friends and family to our employees. Everyone's wellness is an important issue. Please join us in "Working Together for Good Health."

Sheriff & Chief Deputy talk to students about school violence Sheriff Sam Page addressing students.
In February, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page and his Chief Deputy, Major Abner Bullins, addressed the students at Rockingham Middle, Rockingham High and Dalton McMichael High Schools about
school violence and some of the recent issues surrounding this topic. Both Sheriff Page and Major Bullins stressed the importance of immediately reporting any and all suspicious and potentially dangerous observations to their
School Resource Officer or School Official. During their talks, they also relayed to the students the dangers of falsely reporting these kinds of things and the repercussions of doing so. “We want to continue to ensure that our students are safe in school and go on to succeed in life. I would hate to see something like a felony charge for making a false report to loom on any young adult’s record. That’s why we spoke to the students. We want them to understand we have to take each report of potential violence very seriously. That’s
the unfortunate reality of today. We have seen these tragedies happen elsewhere in America;
my goal is to make sure it never happens here, in Rockingham County.” – Sheriff Sam Page
