I happen to visit Eden, North Carolina the other day and stopped to see what was under the big red and white circus tent that was in one of the parking lots. Perhaps with age I have become more sensitive to animal and children issues. There are some things that age teaches you are more important than making money. To be honest I was shocked at what I saw. I can not believe the City of Eden would allow such an exhibit. I understand there is no law against it, however I have attached pictures and pray that you will print these pictures to help make other people aware of what is going on under the big top. There were large full grown tigers and a beautiful black Lepard in cages smaller than my bathroom! There was a kanagroo in a cage and a monkey in a cage that was even on a strap. Please understand, I am not against educating the public about wild life but I am very opposed to the conditions which I find unacceptable for these rare and beautiful animals. Seeing is believing. In my opinion and of course every one has one, these cages do not serve these animals in respect to their best interest and care. I invite you to see the photographs and decide for yourself and let the City of Eden know if you agree with me. Sincerely, Ann Elkins- Greensboro, NC

we have lost major commercial and industrial facilities that we once assumed would always be here. Those facilities contributed the bulk of our tax base for our citizens. Once those companies moved away, more of the burden has shifted to residential property owners. The County and its municipalities are working closely with the Economic Partnership Board to seize every possible job opportunity for our citizens. We have been successful in attracting several companies and are still on the short list for others. The fact is that every other county is doing the same. Therefore, we must recognize our strengths and weaknesses and partner with other counties to create opportunities. This is precisely what we are doing with the equestrian center project. We must diversify if we want to compete for jobs. We learned that devastating lesson when our textiles and tobacco industries began their departure from Rockingham County. We can continue to cut County personnel, as we have done for a number of years, but that means also cutting valuable services. We can further reduce our contributions to the Rockingham County School System and Rockingham Community College only to risk depriving our students of the future and education they so rightly deserve. Our Board of Education, along with Dr. Shotwell and his staff deserve our support in their efforts to prepare every student to excel in a global economy. Every citizen has individual needs but a "one size fits all" approach with our County budget does not work. Some citizens have had to utilize County services more than others. However, these services are here to benefit us all. An individual may not need an ambulance, or the Health Department, or have a child in school or utilize social or mental health services today; but, where would we be if these services were not provided and aren’t we all better off because essential public services are available when we need them? Two existing industries with the assistance of the County have announced expansion plans which will gen-

need for a new animal shelter to replace our current facility which is being displaced by a planned highway project and the need to humanely control the animal population through adoption and spay-neutering. Still more wanted the County to work to foster jobs and to recruit industry. A group of citizens spoke on behalf of the proposed Equestrian Center and the jobs and tourism dollars it would bring to our County stressing that its cost is largely in hand from grant sources and its positive impact on the farming community. Certainly each citizen who spoke or attended the public hearing has the best interest of the County at heart; but, they differed in how best to handle the choices before us. Some wanted to assure that valuable or needed public expenditures were made. Others wanted reductions. In the face of hard times and diminished revenues, my belief is that, as a community of citizens, we have two choices: We can give in to the multitude of difficulties before us or we can keep a steady gaze forward and work together to face those challenges head on. Our problems were not created overnight and they will not be resolved in any short period of time. Rockingham County is a beautiful area in which to live and raise a family. Unfortunately,

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Dear Edens Own Editor:

Dear Eden’s Own Journal Editor: Rockingham County and its citizens are experiencing extremely difficult challenges. This is true for counties all across the nation. Hard choices have to be made by us as individuals, as families and by us acting together as a local community. These difficult choices were reflected in the recently adopted County budget and in the public hearing and community involvement leading up to its adoption. More than 200 county citizens attended the public hearing on the budget last Monday evening at Rockingham County High School to express their concerns. Most expressed the difficulties of our current economy and their struggle to maintain employment and to pay bills. Many voiced support for our public schools and the need to maintain local funding as an investment in our children. Some questioned particular objects of expenditure such as the new courthouse and jail facility already under construction and emphasized the need to be as frugal as possible in county expenditures. A number were present to urge continued funding for library services and pointed out their value to those seeking employment at a time when it is so difficult for those laid off to find work. Others advocated the

erate much needed tax base and new jobs. Not everyone who is out of work will get a job from these efforts; but, payroll from these jobs provide income for hardworking citizens elsewhere in our economy. Several citizens at the public hearing questioned the efforts of the Commissioners to listen to and communicate with the County’s citizens. Certainly, your elected Commissioners want to hear from and meet with citizens. We welcome the opportunity to improve our communications. In the near future we want to increase our availability by meeting with citizens in informal settings such as in a town meeting format to listen to concerns and to exchange information and ideas. Our intention is to travel to community sites to accommodate citizens. We also want to work to make it easier for citizens to contact an official or to get information from our county offices and over the internet. We urge citizens to work with us on making these improvements and in dealing with the difficult responsibilities we have as County Commissioners. Even though a County Commissioner represents all of the citizens, not every citizen has the same point of view on how County, State and National concerns should be handled. Only when you are elected to office can you realize the vast responsibility you have undertaken for all citizens and the difficulty of completing your job on a day to day basis. Any past or present Commissioner will confess that an elected official takes the oath of office with a sincere desire to make changes for the better only to learn that the best intentions can sometimes not be carried out because of budgetary or other practical limitations. Yet, we realize every decision made will affect citizens in some way – either positively or negatively -and that taking drastic measures can create detrimental results for years to come. Respectfully yours, Amelia W. Dallas, Chair Rockingham County Board of Commissioners 371 NC 65, Suite 206 Wentworth, NC 27375 Phone 336-342-8102

Davis’ cancer was discovered in 2007 and she has undergone treatments at the SmithMcMichael Cancer Center in Eden and at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center in Durham.

Dabbs Duo... Continued from Page 1 I next had to go back on stage for the Open division and compete with all the young folks. I never considered myself as old but every year counts in bodybuilding so to come out on top was thrilling,” he said, “I have been working for 10 years to get my professional status and I had finally gotten it and best of all I did it at the same show as my wife!” Debbie competed in the Open Figure, Figure 35 and Over and Womens Bodybuilding. Debbie had competed in Figure many times and was training hard for this competition and 5 weeks prior to the competition John mentioned to her that she should give bodybuilding a try. Debbie has a strong and muscular physique and I thought that with a little tweaking she could win this competition and achieve her pro status. She prayed about it a couple of nights and decided to compete in all divisions which in itself is not normally done. Debbie now had more work to do because she had to practice her figure routine and now learn and practice her bodybuilding posing and routines. Her training consisted of cardio daily and resistance training 6 days per week. Her diet consisted mostly of egg whites, grapefruit, oatmeal, chicken and veggies. To make matters even more stressful her bodybuilding competition suit did not arrive when it was scheduled to, so on the drive to Philadelphia we called the company and had them ship the suit to the hotel.

Bejeweled Creations

The trip to Pa was long considering we had to eat every 1 and 1/2 hours (chicken and 1/2 grapefruit each meal) and drink 2-3 gallons of water during the trip day. Debbie won her pro status as she won the women’s bodybuilding competition and she won the 35 and over figure division and finished 2nd by 1 vote in the open figure competition. “Our goal is to promote a drug free lifestyle for all athletes. We want our children to know that drugs do not make you a better athlete, they make you weak,” Dabbs stresses, “If we can demonstrate to them that through hard work and discipline they can achieve their goals, then we are helping them not only in athletics but in life. We want them to understand that even if you finish last and you worked as hard as you could, you have still won and you can say that what you have is yours because you have worked to achieve it not because some chemical or cheating allowed you to have it.” We have developed a team called Team Philippians 4:13 that states “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”. All of our competitors that we work with wear this shirt and believe in this fact. This statement reminds all of our athletes that if we rely on Jesus Christ as our strength and not on worldly strength that we can accomplish anything.

NOTES FROM FORREST BRAY • Tax Rally was held June 22nd, 2009 at the Rockingham High Well, this was the big night when a few people wanted to meet with elected officials to try to stop the big tax train coming down the line. The number of individuals attending was much smaller than expected and the auditorium at the high school had a lot of empty seats. I was unable to count the number in attendance, but I would estimate 150200 at most. Representatives from the schools were there to ask for more assistants to the assistants in schools; maybe we need to bring someone from California to show us how to operate our schools! Building a new Douglas School is still on track so we must not forget that the architects fees will be paid. There were speeches about how much money the County could get from the Horse Center of the South. Some of them sounded so good that it reminded me of the checks Alaskan citizens get from the oil industry every year. The library was represented by one who asked that their budget not be cut. It may come to the point that you will need to call ahead to be sure the library you want to visit is staffed or you may need to call for an appointment. Individuals were present to

ask for funding for the animal shelter and to remind the officials of this need. Mr. Tommy Harrington spoke about wasteful spending in all areas of County government. One area that no one mentioned is the waste in all the construction going on for county buildings and why no one else seems to see this. Many others spoke and each one was adamant in their requests to cover needs. One manufacturer was there and spoke about their taxes. He made the remark that he may need to look at moving to another county or state. I agree with him that if Rockingham County’s tax structure is higher and more oppressive than other areas, it will cause us to lose current or prospective employers. However, we do seem to offer incentives for most operations. The attitude seems to be to just ask for some incentive and then everyone will be happy! It was a good meeting and most people seemed to have expressed their opinions. Now it’s time to get back to work. The County needs the money!

ing of the proposed library building was presented. Discussion followed about the type of building. Some called a traditional building and wanted to add columns. I consider what was shown an ultra-modern building. There was also discussion about the need for more space, as 12,000 square feet is not enough to meet needs. The ideal space would be more like 14,000 square feet. The possibility of expanding each end to get the additional space was proposed. Everyone was asked to attend the County Commissioners‚ meeting on June 22. The next meeting is scheduled for July 21, but no location was mentioned. • Library Building Committee Meeting - June 18, 2009 Members present were Tommy Flynt, Bobby Stanley, Tom Robinson, Mike Adams, Mike Smith, Madison‚s Mayor, Mayodan‚s Mayor, and two architects. Bobby Stanley opened the meeting and asked that speakers please talk loud enough that they could be heard. Most speakers did. Mr. Robinson told the group that it was a good idea to go with the drawings of the building as presented; however, it was not clear if he meant the drawings with expansions on each end or the original drawing. When the architects were asked about the expansion, they seemed confused and didn‚t give a clear answer. Mike Smith was asked about the cost of the building, but I could not understand his response. The committee was advised by Mr. Robinson that Mike Smith is working with the architects to try and costs. Just a thought start over! Someone asked about having exposed bar joists for the ceiling, which means that the heating and air piping would be visible. The roof will have a slope so the inside is sloped. I have seen this type of ceiling in restaurants, warehouses, service centers and renovated buildings. Maybe this will be something new for Rockingham County. Most of the building we are doing seems

to be ultra-modern. Examples are the courthouse/jail complex and the animal shelter. Someone also mentioned using columns on the front of the building, but the answer was that columns will not work on this type of building. Mr. Robinson then suggested that the building be accepted as drawn since this is a traditional building and would not look good with columns. Mr. Stanley suggested to the architects that the committee visit a similar library building if one is available. The Mayor of Madison also wanted to visit another building. The architects don‚t have one so the idea of a visit was cancelled. I understand that some people do have a problem visualizing what a building will look like when they look at a drawing.

CALLS MEETING FOR DISCUSSION OF TAXES

Secretary, Rockingham

Co. Republican Party

REIDSVILLE - Rockingham County Commissioners defied passionate appeals by property owners a mere 48 hours before they voted unanimously Wednesday morning to raise property taxes in the county for the third time in five years. In addition, these same commissioners last year advocated for an increase in local sales taxes and went along with a questionable property revaluation earlier this year until the last minute, when enough public pressure was brought to bear to stop the increase. By mollifying special interest groups and government employees, the five Democratic commissioners have demonstrated a clear recordof resorting to tax increases and failing to demonstrate the leadership required of elected officials. "This is not about keeping government employees, this is about the county spending too much money on projects that require tax payer money," said Wayne Sexton, chairman of the Rockingham County Republican Party. "With times as hard as they are and as uncertain as they are the county commissioners have no business raising any kind of taxes. They need to cut spending across the board. That doesn't mean automatically cutting

teachers or librarians or sheriff's deputies." As an example of the choices the county administration makes, general government administration salaries were cut a mere 1.3 percent out of more than $6.8 million. A 10 percent salary cut across the board, for example, would have freed up more money by itself than the tax increase. "The county can never have enough money to spend," Sexton said. "When household or business incomes slow down or we face budget challenges we have to cut. We can't just go somewhere and get the money. It's time that government at all levels understands that." The Rockingham County Republican Party desires that all conservatives who believe in limited government will rally to our cause. There will be a breakfast meeting scheduled for 8:30 am Saturday Aug. 1 at the Golden Corral in Reidsville. This meeting is open to all Republicans and conservative Democrats and independents who are interested in joining. The GOP will be pushing for more limited government, increased transparency and accountability in upcoming election cycles. "This current board does not listen to the people that put them in office," Sexton said. "It is very plain to see. If you believe in government of, by and

THE RALEIGH REPORT From the Office of Representative Nelson Cole

During the week of June 2226, negotiators continued to move closer to a final budget plan, but it’s doubtful that an agreement will be reached by June 30. The job is more difficult than it has been in previous years because of a dramatic drop in state revenue. We have already agreed to eliminate dozens of programs and have proposed deep cuts in many of those programs that remain. At the same time, we must meet our federal obligations to fund Medicaid and to educate our continually growing number of students. Those two budget areas combined -education and Medicaid -- comprise about 70 percent of our budget, giving us little leeway as we look for additional savings and efficiencies. Some critics have said that budget writers in the General Assembly have exaggerated the level of cuts that are needed. As someone who is working closely with the budget, I want to assure you that this is not true. Budget writers had to cut more than $2 billion in spending, which meant

carefully scrutinizing items even as little as a few hundred dollars. The state also must rely on more than $1 billion in one-time federal stimulus money to pay for some programs. This money has to be used carefully. It is not an ongoing revenue source that we can rely on in future years. To replace some of that non-recurring money, legislators are reluctantly proposing some tax increases. The size of the tax package has not been determined, but whatever amount is added to the budget will help the state preserve programs in education and health care. It is critical that we act, rather than simply do as our critics have done and both complain that the cuts are too deep and refuse to act to restore some of the lost money. We did receive a bit of good news this week. After examining corporate returns, the NC Department of Revenue determined that next year the state will get about $150 million more in one-time revenue than had previously been expected.

the library was discussed in depth. Some don’t like the idea of calling it the Western Rockingham Library. Some wanted to call it the MadisonMayodan Library and others wanted Mayodan-Madison Library. My suggestion is to call it M & M and have a candy counter inside! Just a little humor on the subject! Some won’t like that either, but get a life! Use of Pine Hall brick in the building was discussed and then the meeting was adjourned.

Over 4 years ago, the County decided to build a new courthouse and jail complex. State inspectors had been insisting that we must do something about the old one. Harold Bass asked me if I would serve on the building committee for the complex. On October 18, 2005, the minutes for this committee stated that “the committee must keep in mind that this will be the center of the county. It should not be excessive so as to cause the taxpayers to feel it is too elaborate; therefore, we must set a realistic budget and stick to it.” Early in the meeting process the architect was asked what kind of building he had in mind. His answer was a “three story rectangle”. Six months later we saw something entirely different. When the architect was asked who had decided on this design, he could not say. But this design was not chosen by the original courthouse/jail committee. I have asked for minutes of the meeting where the design was selected, but I have not seen anything in writing to back up the design choice. An expenditure of this magnitude should have a definite paper trail from beginning to end. In addition to the lack of documentation for the design, we also were asked to pay for expenses of a company out of South Carolina whose purpose was to save us money on the design of the building. I have found no evidence that this company did anything except go along with the architect and never questioned whether another design would have been more appropriate and less expensive. I have also followed the process for building a library for

western Rockingham County. Keep in mind that the land for this building was donated to the County. The building itself started at $1,500,000. The cost then rose to $3,500,000 but dropped back to $2,500,000 – still a million dollars more than the original estimate. The County must build an animal shelter since we are losing the current arrangement with Reidsville Veterinary Hospital. The original estimate for building the animal shelter was $90 per square foot. Now the proposed cost for the shelter is $161 per square foot, with no satisfactory explanation for the increase. The County also has plans to build a structure to house the Western Rockingham EMS. The same type of building was recently constructed on Freeway Drive in Reidsville. Why couldn’t we use the same plans and adapt them to the new location, rather than starting again with new plans? The architect should be willing to work with us on this and save the County money. The school system has asked for funds for new school buildings in the County. A group of citizens went to Wilkes County to visit one of their new buildings. Dr. Shotwell indicated that he thought we could save some money by following their example. Nothing came of that visit and when I asked about it, I was told that we would stay with Moseley Architects – who also designed the courthouse/jail complex. With the economy in the state it is, I question the wisdom of going forward with the Horse Center without further study or debate. As a taxpayer, I must say I see too much money being spent without adequate taxpayer input. When I have questioned some of the steps taken or expenses involved, I have been called “negative”, Democrat/Republican (depending on who is doing the calling) or who knows what else. This is wrong! You are spending OUR money and as elected officials, you should listen to what taxpayers are saying. Take time to be sure money is being spent carefully and not used to pay for someone’s dream or memorial.

CRIME REPORTS HOME INVASION INVESTIGATION STONEVILLE -The Stoneville Police Department is asking for assistance and information in an ongoing investigation of a home invasion, assault, armed robbery, and kidnapping. Shortly after 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, officers responded to 116 Simpson Street, the home of James and Rose Siler.

It was reported on June 17th at 5:34 p.m. that while visiting friends, a 12 year old victim was offered an opportunity to go fishing with their f r i e n d , K e v i n Dwayne Gusler, 26, of 276 Gusler Brewer Rd., Mayodan, NC. The victim accepted the offer to go fishing. After just minutes at the river, Gusler transported the child to his residence to “get something to drink”. While there, Gusler committed lewd and lascivious acts for the purpose of gratifying his sexual desires with the child. The child resisted the acts, but was overpowered by Gusler. When they returned to the car and left, Gusler continued to make unwanted advances to the child. While traveling, the child took a baseball bat from inside the car and defended himself. At that time, Gusler stopped the car and the victim got out of the car, armed with the bat and refused to get back inside the car. Gusler left to find someone else that the child trusted to get him back into the car. The child then reported the incident to family. Detective Dan Hardy arrested Gusler and also found there were outstanding criminal summons for Injury to personal prop-

CONSUMERS URGED WENTWORTH - June 26, 2009—Local health officials in Rockingham County urge consumers to examine their refrigerators for pre-packaged Nestle Toll House cookie dough products that have been recalled nationwide for possible contamination with E. coli bacteria, and dispose of them properly. The products involved in the voluntary recall include all varieties of Nestle’ Toll House refrigerated Cookie Bar Dough, Cookie Dough Tub; Cookie Dough Tube; Limited Edition Cookie Dough items: Seasonal Cookie Dough and Ultimate Cookie Bar Dough. A list of recalled product varieties can be found at www.verybestbaking.com. “E. coli 0157:H7 is a serious and sometimes fatal disease, so it is vitally important that you take the right steps to remove these recalled products from your home or place of business,” according to Glenn Martin, Rockingham County Health Director. “There have been two cases of E. Coli illness reported in association with this recall in our state. Remember, when in doubt, throw it out but do it wisely.”

DISPOSE

The warning is based on an ongoing outbreak investigation conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other federal partners and state health departments. Since March 2009 there have been 70 reports of related or associated illness across 30 states. The multi-agency effort consists of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Health; N.C. DA&CS; and N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child Development. These state officials are working together with local health departments to contact grocery stores, child care centers, summer camps, nursing and long-term care homes, jails, warehouses and other regulated facilities where the product may be found. Other places that this product may be found are churches and church affiliated camps. Martin added that if you have any recalled, prepackaged, refrigerated Nestle Toll House cookie dough products, then it is best to just throw them away. Cooking the dough is not recommended because consumers

RECALLED COOKIE DOUGH

might get the bacteria on their hands and on other cooking surfaces. E. coli 0157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause serious illness. It causes diarrheal illness often associated with bloody stools. Most healthy adults can recover completely within in a week. Young children and the elderly are at the highest risk for developing Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, which can lead to serious kidney damage and even death. Individuals who have recently eaten prepackaged, refrigerated Toll House cookie dough and have experienced any of these symptoms should contact their doctor or health care provider immediately. Any such illnesses should be reported to state or local health authorities. People should not eat raw food products that are intended

for cooking or baking before consumption. Consumers should use safe food-handling practices when preparing such products. These practices include: • following package directions for cooking at proper temperature; • washing hands, surfaces and utensils after contact with these types of products; • avoiding cross-contamination; and • refrigerating products properly. For more on safe food handling practices, go to http://www.fda.gov/Food/Resour cesforYou/Consumers/ucm10989 9.htm. Consumers who have additional questions about these products should contact Nestle consumer services at 1-800-5595025 and/or visit their Web site at www.verybestbaking.com.

LIBRARY SURPASSES 1/2 MILLION CIRCULATIONS The number 500,000 has special meaning for Jay Stephens, director of the Rockingham County Public Library. “A half million is the benchmark for our annual circulation, which is how many books and other items our customers check out from the library during the year,” Stephens said. For fiscal year 2007-2008 the library had a circulation of 501,903, just making it past the half million goal by the end of June 2008. For the current year the library surpassed the 500,000 mark by the end of May and is on track to increase circulation by at least 7% over the previous year. Increases in the number of visitors to the libraries and the number of people attending library programs are also expected. “We are seeing substantial increases in a number of our performance measures,” noted Stephens. “Our staff continues to do an outstanding job of providing library services to the citizens of Rockingham County.”

DUKE SERVES AS PAGE IN STATE HOUSE REIDSVILLE - Louis Duke, a student at Rockingham County High School, recently served as a Page for the North Carolina House of Representatives.

For decades, the State House has relied on the service of Pages, who help deliver bills and amendments for Representatives during daily House sessions and committee meetings, offer assistance in individual Representatives’ offices, and run errands around the Legislature. Pages spend a week at the General Assembly assisting members and their staff and learning about the structure of North Carolina government.

Music was in the air at the Charlie Poole Music Festival – little groups were everywhere, on the porches, under a tent here or under a tree there, and the air was throbbing with the notes of fiddle and banjo, guitar and song. Early in the morning on Saturday, there were lots of kids roaming the grounds, waiting for their turn to

compete. By Saturday afternoon about 150 names were registered in the dozen different categories for the adult competition, and the atmosphere grew even more exciting. All this followed the Friday evening concert at the Eden Fairgrounds, where an enthusiastic crowd heard an exhilarating

variety of country, bluegrass, old time, blues, even ragtime played by one group after another. Two of them featured New York artists, the East River String Band and The Wiyos, the latter especially well received when they moved down from the stage and played with the audience close around, as they said they

were used to, from having started on the streets of New York. The contests came to an electrifying end with the competition for the $500 grand prize for old time three-finger style banjo playing, and then the awarding of more than 50 other prizes of cash or rosettes. Winners are listed below:

EDEN - Judith Warren is no stranger to Eden, “I was born in Leaksville Hospital a block away, just around the corner; my store is now located in the Olde Belk building in the Historic Olde Leaksville Shopping district. So it’s back to my early roots, a full circle you might say!” There is never a dull moment in the bridal and formal wear business. Orders, alterations, tight schedules and more Warren remarks, “I really like the drama of it all; that is exactly why I chose to relocate my store in Olde Leaksville. I wanted to be in “The Happening Place.” It has been a long time since the Eden Mall brought celebrities like Bob Eubanks, of the once very popular newly wed game to Eden; that is when the mall was bustling with neutral shops. Long gone are the festivals, modeling shows and more. With the mall fast becoming an business and office complex and the once number-one event center of Eden is no more, Warren felt it was time to “come back home”. “The time has come for us to move on, I want to be one of the many retailers in a thriving neutral community and the Olde Leaksville Historical District is providing Rockingham County with an interesting mix of retailers; it is definitely a unique shopping arena and I am excited to be a part of the mix.” Warren’s new location features dedicated rooms for wed-

FAN COLLECTIONS

FOR

SENIORS

With high temperatures in the forecast, it is a good time to give local seniors a break from the heat. Sheriff Page announced today that collecting new fans and air conditioners to distribute to area seniors would be a pro-active attempt to help those in need. Sheriff Page: “You and I talking about the heat is common, but for our seniors it is a health issue.” It gets pretty hot in North Carolina during the summer, and there are elderly people who will not have the luxury of either air conditioning nor of a simple electric fan. These fans could alleviate one expense for some seniors riddled with bills they are struggling to pay, according to Sheriff Page. Our area Fire Departments and Sheriff’s Office will serve as collection points for donations. This effort will continue until July 4th. Financial contributions for this cause may be made by checks made payable to the American Red Cross. They will distribute the fans to those in need.

By Bernie Moore, Fire Chief

In the past month, many people have asked me: “Why is the siren blowing?” and “What does the siren mean?” I hope I can answer these questions for you. The Eden Fire Department does not sound the sirens, located at each of our four fire stations – Henry Street, Morgan Road, Stadium Drive and Fieldcrest Road, any longer when we have a fire. All of our firefighters wear pagers that alert them when the Fire Department has a call. The Rockingham County Communications Center in Wentworth now tests the sirens

The sound is a long blast lasting approximately two minutes. The sirens can be heard rather easily depending on the wind direction and weather conditions. If you hear a long blast at any other time, we are under a severe weather or tornado warning, not a watch but an actual warning. This means you need to take shelter and stay away from windows and doors. Try to stay in the middle of your house or take shelter in a bathroom, closet or basement or under a table, bed or mattress. Never stay in a mobile home – seek other shelter. If you can’t find shelter and are outside, lie flat in a ditch or culvert, but watch for flooding. You need to have a plan of action to follow when you hear the siren warning. Never dismiss this warning – having a plan and acting quickly could save your life or the lives of your family and friends. If you have questions or concerns, please give me a call at 623-2110, option 9. Remember the Eden Fire Department is here to help you.

OTC MEDICATIONS AND KIDS Giving drugstore medications to your child is no big deal, right? Well, it shouldn’t be... as long as you use them the right way. Just because a medication is sold over the counter doesn’t mean it comes with a risk-free guarantee. If you’re like many parents, though, there’s probably been a time or two when you’ve fudged the dose or lost track of how much you’ve given. Maybe you lucked out and nothing horrible happened. That’s great, but why tempt fate? If your child has ever had a bad reaction to an over-the-counter (OTC) medication, stop giving the medication right away. Tell the doctor or pharmacist about it. Keep a record of its name, dosage directions, the illness it was used for, and the side effects it caused. How can you lower your child’s risk? For starters, remember to keep all medications out of reach of children. Also, make sure you’re using the right product for your child’s symptoms. We can advise you. Describe symptoms to your child’s doctor or pharmacist. Also, tell us your child’s age, weight, medical conditions, and any medications your child is taking now or has in the past. Here are some general guidelines that may also help. Which ones? • Don’t give your child any medications that are intended for infants or adults. • Only use products that treat the symptoms your child has. • Don’t ever give OTC medicine to children to make them sleepy. • Give acetaminophen for pain relief. • Avoid ibuprofen if your child is younger than 6 months old. • Do not give decongestants, cough medicines, and cold medicines if your child is younger than age four. These medicines have caused serious side effects — even deaths — in this age group. For example, a recent study showed that Vicks VapoRub may cause inflammation of airways in infants and toddlers. • Don’t give aspirin to children under age 18. Children and teens are at risk for a reaction to aspirin that can cause permanent brain injury! How much? Getting the right dose is very important. Read labels and follow directions closely. Compare medications if you’re giving your child more than one. Cold and cough medications, for example, may have some of the same ingredients. Or, they may have ingredients that produce the same results, such as lowering fever. If you’re not careful, you could double a dose. Did you know that an overdose of acetaminophen could lead to permanent liver damage? No small matter. Here are some other tips for getting the right dosage: • Use your child’s weight, not age, to determine dosage. Don’t guess, weigh your child. • Use the measuring device that came with the product. • Don’t use kitchen spoons. They come in different sizes. • If you’re using a measuring cup, put it on a flat surface, then pour. • Bring us your measuring devices and we can show you the difference between a mL and a teaspoon. • Remember: more is not better — be precise with measurements. When? Do you have a hard time keeping track of how much medicine you’ve given your child? Try keeping a simple log or write it on a kitchen calendar. In general, “every six hours” means that you give the medicine to your child four times a day. For example, give the medicine at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime. You don’t need to wake your child to give medicine.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued

In Eden there sits a house downtown in the Leaksville Historic District with plenty of history itself. Owned by Jean and Thomas Harrington, the home was built in 1840’s by John H. Bullard. The Rockingham County Historical Society “Journal” of June 8, 1980, reported that “Leaksville Cotton Mills for many years were under the supervision of John H. Bullard of Massachusetts, who

moved to the area to build and manage the mills of Governor Morehead (1839). In the 1840’s John Hall Bullard built the house in which he lived on Washington Street, in what was then Leaksville. The house was also later occupied by his daughter Annie and still later occupied by his grandson, Dr. John Bullard Ray and now by the Harringtons. John Hall Bullard was a machinist of superior skill form

ments, cellular phones, computers, officers’ workstations, magistrates’ work area, lavatory, DWI checkpoint signs, traffic cones, traffic vests, search batons, screening tests devices and all other necessary equipment and supplies for processing DWI suspects. All law enforcement agencies (state, county and local) in Rockingham County will be working together in the “Booze It & Lose It” campaign through the summer months, concentrating on removing impaired drivers from our streets and highways.

He was the pioneer modern merchant in the region and made his purchases in Boston and other eastern cities and introduced a better variety of goods. His store was conveniently located right next door to his home. The “Bullard Boom” was when the trade of the town was more than doubled.

by her parents due to the close family relationship with her father’s boss, Gov. John Motley Morehead. Annie, who married James Bonaparte Ray, later named her son after John Motley Morehead’s son in law. Another son Dr. John Bullard Ray was born in 1875 and lived in the house all of his life. Decades passed, and the family remained in the house through the generations. Jean inherited the house from her uncle, Dr. John Bullard Ray, who was a father to her after her own father died when she was a young child. Many years ago Jean Harrington discovered a dress in a trunk on the screened-in sleeping porch. The dress belonged to Annie Ray. This significant discovery ties it to the early history of Leaksville and Spray. Mrs. Harrington has documentation from the “Dartmouth Review” when her son, John Ray Harrington, was a student, in which is pictured a dress which is almost identical to the one she found. The article states the dress is from Massachusetts in the 1850’s. It appears irrefutable that the dress belonged to Annie Morehead Bullard Ray who lived in the house and who certainly had strong Massachusetts connections. It is also significant because of its connection to the early mill, family and house history as it relates to New England and the South. Harrington has generously decided to hand the dress over to the care of the Eden Historical Museum to be put in a special case for display. The museum will make an announcement when the case and dress are ready for the public to view. The museum, located at 656 Washington Street, Eden, beside the home of Harrington, is open during the summer the first and third Friday of each month, coinciding with the Eden Farmers Market.

The bank traces its origin back to June 9, 1909, the date the financial institution was started with just a few local investors who had a vision of helping families in the community realize their dream of home ownership. “We would like to thank our customers who have been loyal to us over the years and allowed Home Savings Bank to be a part of our wonderful community,” stated W. Thomas Flynt, Chairman of Home Savings Bank. “We have certainly seen a tremendous amount of change over the past 100 years and through the hard work of talented employees we have been able to remain a strong and stable community bank.” Jonathan Jobe, President, commented, “Home Savings Bank was founded to help make life better for individuals and businesses in Rockingham

SPEAK TO AN AMERICAN! How to save some American jobs and we can help! Anonymous

I want to share with you some great information that I found out recently. I believe it can also save and create jobs in America while giving people better customer service So how many times have you called a companies service phone line and found that the rep. can barely speak English? Once with a major mortgage company it was so bad I demanded to speak with someone who spoke English. Right at that moment I broke the code, the secret password for customer service. Come to find out that every American company using overseas operators must transfer you to an American rep. by saying....... " I want to speak to a representative in America ". (Don't take no for an answer on this) This was confirmed by the American representative that they must transfer you after that request. Try to remember this EVERY TIME you have to talk to a customer service representative and you cannot understand them. I did not know that we could do this, but I sure am going to try it. Help bring jobs back to the U.S.A. Ask for an American!

JOINT PROGRAM TRAINS PRE-K TEACHERS Although the North Carolina budget crisis has recently affected teachers, graduates of the birth through kindergarten education program at Greensboro College are doing well. Of the program’s five most recent Rockingham County graduates, four are working in their field and the fifth just completed her student teaching. All five graduates benefited from the seamless transition from Rockingham Community College’s early childhood education program to the birth through kindergarten program at Greensboro College. According to RCC’s Early Childhood Educator Professor, Dr. Vickie Brinkley, the joint program is geared toward those with an early childhood education associate degree. Of the 71 hours required for the associate degree at RCC, 64 transfer to the birth through kindergarten program at Greensboro College. Nina Brown of Eden is one of the counties five recent graduates in the Greensboro College program. In 2006 she earned the required associate degree from RCC and in December 2008 graduated from Greensboro College. On June 16, Brown completed her first full year as a licensed Pre-kindergarten teacher in the Early Childhood Center at the Reidsville High School. “I didn’t always want to be a teacher,” Brown confessed. “I was interested in studying chiropractics, so right after high school I entered the pre-med program at State (NC State University). Within a few days, I

was back home; I didn’t like it.” Uncertain of her plans, Brown listened to a friend’s advice to work in child care. After all, she loved children. For the next seven years, she followed that advice; working first at Care-A-Lot in Eden and then at Woodmont Methodist Church Child Development Center in Reidsville. She also took time to marry Mike Brown. “I never would have left Woodmont,” said Brown, “but I knew I needed an education in order to make enough money for the future.” She continued working at Woodmont while earning the associate and bachelor’s degrees. As if that wasn’t enough, Brown became a new mother while a student at Greensboro College. Although parenthood had eluded her for seven years, becoming a mother did not change Brown’s focus. She was determined to finish her education. Now her goal is to complete a master’s degree before her daughter starts kindergarten. Of the many RCC students who have entered Greensboro College’s birth through kindergarten program since the joint program began, Assistant Professor of Education, Susan Connelly, said, “We have been overwhelmingly impressed with the quality of students from RCC. They fit in well, excel academically, and excel in teaching.” Brown isn’t surprised at the accolade. “We were well prepared at RCC. The instructors are fantastic. In fact, I still call

Dr. Brinkley for advice.” Graduates of RCC’s early childhood education program can complete their bachelor’s degree within five semesters in Greensboro College’s birth to kindergarten program. Some classes can be taken on the RCC campus, some are online, some are hybrid (online and in classroom), and some are offered only at Greensboro College. Graduates can work as licensed teachers in pre-kindergarten, More at Four, Head Start, exceptional children, early intervention, and kindergarten classes. “I love what I do,” said Brown. “I thought I had made a big mistake by leaving State. I certainly could have made more money as a chiropractor, but I would never have been as happy.” For more information, call 342-4261, Ext. 2296.

SELLING TO MINORS On Wednesday June 10, at 8:00 p.m. the Eden Police Department conducted an ABC Compliance Check throughout the city. The check was conducted to insure that stores were complying with the sale of alcoholic beverages. Detectives with the Eden Police Department checked twenty-one stores in the city. Out of twenty-one stores checked, fifteen sold an alcoholic beverage to an underage person. In each incident where alcohol was sold to a minor, the clerk was charged with the sale of an alcoholic beverage to a person less than twenty-one years of age. A list of the stores that were checked is attached. The Eden Police Department will continue conducting these checks periodically to insure all stores are in compliance.

MAYOR

EDEN

THROWS

HAT BACK IN RING Incumbent Eden Mayor John E. Grogan has announced his plan to run for re-election in the fall of 2009 Eden City Council elections. Grogan was an Eden City Councilman for over twenty years before running for Mayor in 2005. At that time, he captured over 60% of the vote. Grogan is running to continue the work he has promoted over the last four years, most importantly a diversified economic development strategy. “Despite the global recession, Eden is pursuing a multitude of projects to bring jobs to our community,” remarked Grogan. “These projects include a medium custody correctional facility, a partnership with our neighbors in Danville and Pittsylvania County on the Berryhill Road ‘mega-industrial park,’ targeting large water users, and showcasing our natural resources for tourism.” Grogan was especially gratified that Eden was recently chosen for the location of the Loparex expansion that will bring over fifty very well paying jobs to our community at a time when most cities are losing jobs. Mayor Grogan is also pleased that several important projects have been completed under his watch, including significant improvements to the City’s water and sewer infrastructure. Examples include the supplemental pumps that have been installed at the City’s raw water intake to protect the City’s water supply during drought conditions, the construction of a new elevated water tank near Freedom Park in an effort to improve fire flow and water pressure in various sections of the City, the funding and construc-

tion of many different water line upgrade projects throughout the City and comprehensive improvements to the City’s sewer collection system and pump stations in accordance with a voluntary Special Order of Consent initiated by the City with the State of North Carolina. In addition, the very popular Smith River Greenway has been completed, multiple river access points have been constructed, the amenities at Freedom Park have been expanded, the downtown streetscape projects have been completed, we have seen the recruitment of many commercial businesses, the opening of the new Farmer’s Market and the pending Pierce Street roundabout/extension project that has now received formal approval from the NCDOT Board of Transportation.. “We have invested in our community so it will be more attractive to those people who come here with industry, those who wish to retire in a city with such beautiful natural resources, and those who want to just visit and support our local businesses,” stated Grogan. He acknowledged that many challenges face the community especially increasing unemployment at a time of an economic slowdown, but he believes steps are being taken to uncover all potential economic development opportunities at the city, county and state level. Grogan was born and raised near The Boulevard in Spray, NC, now Eden. Grogan retired from BB where he had served as Rockingham County Executive. After retiring, he immediately assumed the position of President of the Eden Chamber of Commerce.

Having been active in the Piedmont Grogan T r i a d region’s economic development efforts for many years, he was given the first Economic Development Star Award for his efforts in recruitment of Schleigel and Rexam Release. He served as Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors during the recruitment of the Miller Brewing Company. While serving as the President of the Chamber, he helped to lure AC Furniture Company and Gildan to Eden.. He is well-known throughout the Triad area of North Carolina as a tireless proponent for Eden and economic development. While on the City Council, he served as the Chairman of the Rockingham County’s elected officials organization and served as the Chairman of the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments. He also served as Mayor Pro Tem for two terms. Active in the community, he served as Chair of the Morehead Memorial Hospital Trustees and chaired their 1980 Capital Campaign. He has been actively involved in the Leaksville United Methodist Church, the Rotary, the Eden United Way and the YMCA. Furthermore, he has been honored as Eden’s Citizen of the Year.

FIREWORKS SAFETY IN

EDEN

By Bernie Moore, Fire Chief

With July 4th upon us and many of you planning happy times with your family and friends, this is a great time to be together and celebrate our independence. Many of you probably plan to shoot off fireworks. Don’t let the activity turn tragic if you shoot fireworks, remember the danger that is involved. Here are a few things to think about and do to avoid the danger of fireworks: • Leave fireworks to the professionals. Do not use consumer fireworks. • The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display conducted by trained professionals. • After a fireworks display, children should never pick up fireworks that may be left over, they may still be KEEP IT active. Some facts to think about: SAFE! • Each July 4th, thousands of people – most often children and teens – are injured while using consumer fireworks. • The risk of injury due to fireworks is 2.5 times as high for children ages 10-14 as for the general population. • Water boils at 212°F; cakes bake at 350°F; wood burns at 575°F; glass melts at 900°F and sparklers burn at more than 1,200°F – hot enough to cause third-degree burns. Is the risk worth it? In a recent year, fireworks caused an estimated 32,600 fires in the U.S., including 1,700 total structure fires, 600 vehicle fires and 30,300 outdoor fires. These fires resulted in an estimated 6 civilian deaths, 70 civilian injuries and $34 million in direct property damage. The Eden Fire Department does not want to put a damper on your Independence Day fun, but we do urge you to be cautious and safe. We want you to consider what consequences can happen before you strike a match to your fireworks. If you have questions or concerns, please give me a call at 623-2110, option 9. Remember the Eden Fire Department is here to help you.

For The Fun Of It Forrest Gump Goes To Heaven The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. St. Peter said, 'Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven' Forrest responds, 'It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But, nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was.' St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions. First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T? Second: How many seconds are there in a year? Third: What is God's first name?' Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, 'Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers' Forrest replied, 'Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter 'T'? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow.' The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, 'Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer.' 'How about the next one?' asked St. Peter 'How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder,' replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve..' Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?' Forrest replied, 'Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd ... ' 'Hold it,' interrupts St. Peter. 'I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind ... but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name'? 'Sure,' Forrest replied, 'it's Andy.' 'Andy?' exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter. 'Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?' 'Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,' Forrest replied. 'I learnt it from the song, 'ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.' ' St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: 'Run Forrest, run!'

Why you should never question a drunk I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk, A carton of eggs, A quart of orange juice, A head of romaine lettuce, A 2 lb. Can of coffee, and A 1 lb. Package of bacon. As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier.. While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, 'You must be single.' I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since I was indeed a single female. I looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status. Curiosity getting the better of me, I said: Well, you know what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that? The drunk replied, 'Cause you're ugly.' Phone recording "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes."

Grandma’s Still Driving Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes: Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ... I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 'Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!! Will write again soon, Love, Grandma

TAKE Tell Me This Won’t Happen To Me! An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. She got in the back-seat by mistake." Crossing the street Paddy was in New York . He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay, pedestrians.' Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?' A Fun Thing To Do 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759... If you haven't, add 1758. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE !(Oh YES, it is!) 2009 is the only year this will work. The 8th Of July ? What is so different about the 8th of July this year? At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09 This will never happen again.

A HOLIDAY FLOAT

ON THE

RIVER

Celebrate July 4 close to home with the Dan River Basin Association! The Association's Independence Day float will cover six scenic miles of the Mayo and Dan rivers in Rockingham County, NC. Meeting at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 4, beside the NC 135 Bridge over the Mayo River, participants will set the shuttle and float 1.5 miles of the Mayo to its confluence with the Dan. After another 4.5 miles on the Dan River, the take-out will be at the mouth of Jacob's Creek. Coordinators of the outing are T and Lindley Butler, among the founding members of the Association. "Since there is not yet a public access point on the lower Mayo," said T Butler, "we have obtained permission to put in and take out on private property." Celebrating the nation's independence on its 233rd birthday, participants in the outing can enjoy two free-flowing rivers that have nurtured inhabitants of the valley for countless centuries. Although this portion of the Mayo River flows through Mayodan and Madison, the river's high forested banks hide the towns and provide a pleasant feeling of timeless wilderness. Gravel and cobble bars may generate riffles, but the rivers tend to be shallow and easy to navigate. The entire six-mile trip is rated Class 1 in difficulty. A gravel bar on the lower Mayo marks the site of Mayo Ford, where the Petersburg, VA to Salem, NC Road crossed in Colonial times. One stone pier remains from the 1892 Mayo River Bridge, which was replaced with the Dan Valley Road Bridge in 1965. Upon reaching the confluence with the Dan River, participants will encounter six historic structures from the batteau navigation system that made this river usable by flat-bottomed batteaux, the long, narrow workhorses of nineteenth century river commerce in the region. Robertson's Fish Trap Sluice includes a widened fish weir

originally built to collect fish making their great spawning runs upriver from the coast. Slink Shoal Sluice and Wing Dams, called the navigation system's "crown jewel," includes the longest sluice, or channel, and the only surviving log-crib wing dams on the river. These and the other navigation structures direct the water into channels around rapids and ledges that would have blocked the batteaux, each of which carried several tons of goods. Present-day recreational users enjoy the effects of these structures, which have been self-maintaining for over 130 years. Participants in the outing are asked to meet at 10:00 a. m. at the Wall Lumber Company parking lot, 104 East Roosevelt Street, on the west side of the NC 135 Bridge in Mayodan, NC. The bridge is about two miles west of US 220 Bypass. Bring boat and paddles, life jacket, lunch and water, and dress in layers of artificial (quick-drying) fabric. Although the trip is not technically demanding or hazardous, boaters will be asked to sign an "Assignment of Risk / Waiver of Claim" form. Boats may be rented from Three Rivers Outfitters, 336-6276215 or www.3-R-O.com, which will provide shuttle as well. Asked about the possibility of low water in case of drought, Butler replied, "We will meet at Wall Lumber Company at 10:00 as planned. If the Mayo is too shallow to float, we'll put in at the nearby NC 704 Access Point in Madison. Our take-out will still be at Jacob's Creek." All First Saturday Outings of the Dan River Basin Association are free and open to the public. For more information about the river trip, contact T Butler, 336-349-5727 or members@danriver.org. Information about the Dan River Basin Association is available at www.danriver.org .

Financial Focus Edward Jones “Cutting Losses” Can Be More Painful Than You Think Why do stock prices fall? Various factors are involved, but in a nutshell, prices drop when more people want to sell stocks than buy them. Conversely, the more people who buy a particular stock, the faster that stock’s price will rise. If you’ve studied basic economics and the law of supply and demand, you’ve already got a pretty clear sense of why stock prices move the way they do. And yet, while the process sounds fairly logical, the behavior of many investors isn’t — which gives you some good investment opportunities right now. To understand why so many investors have acted in a way that may be counter-productive, let’s look at consumer behavior in another context. Suppose a hypothetical couple, Mike and Mary Ann, bought a house five years ago for $200,000. They liked everything about the house, and it was the right size to meet their family’s needs for many years to come. However, the sharp decline in the housing market has caused Mike and Mary Ann such concern that they decide to sell their house, even though they can only get $160,000 for it. By selling now, they reason, they can avoid further drops, and when the market stabilizes, they can buy another house in the same neighborhood. To sum up: Mike and Mary Ann took a $40,000 loss on a house they didn’t even need to

sell. In essence, they were betting that the housing market, against all historical evidence, would not recover enough to compensate them for staying put. Most people would question the rationality of this type of behavior. Yet many of these same people do the same thing when it comes to investments. Specifically, over the past year and a half, they have sold investments — even quality investments — that still met their needs for growth, income or a combination of both. And when they’ve sold these investments, they’ve taken losses — sometimes, big losses. Just like Mike and Mary Ann, they thought they must sell now to avoid bigger setbacks later. Don’t make that mistake. If you weren’t planning on selling your investments before the market decline, why sell them now, when you’ll just be locking in a loss? Many successful investors hold the same investments for 20, 30 or 40 years — in fact, sometimes they pass these investments on to their children, who also hold them for decades. Are you so sure that your investments, which may indeed have declined 40 percent or more over the past couple of years, won’t recover those losses and climb to new heights in the years ahead? You may someday need to sell, but do so for the right reasons — a change in your goals, a need to rebalance your portfolio or a fundamental change in the companies in which you’ve

The City of Eden is very happy that North Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball chose the City to host this year’s tournament and hope it will chose the City for future tournaments. This event would not be possible without the support of the City of Eden, Rockingham Tourism Development Authority, local sponsors, and all the volunteers who have offered their time to help host this event. “On behalf of the City of Eden, I would like to say a big thank you to all of these groups and individuals,” said Terry Vernon. Let’s make this Dixie Youth State AAA Baseball Tournament an event the players, coaches, and families with remember for the rest of their lives, and let’s show the visitors to our City that good ole Southern Hospitality that we are known for.

invested. In the meantime, not only should you hold on to the investments that that still meet your needs, but you should also consider adding new investments while the price is so low. The more shares you own, the better your financial position will be when the market turns around. This type of behavior takes patience, discipline and faith in our markets. But over the past century, the investors who have demonstrated these traits have been well rewarded — and there’s no reason you can’t attain the same results.
