County Commissioner & Manager advocate to protect, restore county share of lottery proceeds Rockingham County Commissioner Mark Richardson and County Manager Lance Metzler attended the May 28th County Assembly Day, at Quorum Center in Raleigh.

County Assembly Day is an opportunity for North Carolina county officials to meet with and hear from state legislative leaders and meet with their state legislative representatives. It was sponsored by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC), and helped advocate to restore and protect the county share of proceeds from the North Carolina Education Lottery.

“Restoring the full share of lottery proceeds and the statutes that designate counties as a recipient of lottery funds are our top priority this session,” said NCACC Executive Director David F. Thompson.

“We appreciate the support of the hundreds of commissioners who came to County Assembly Day and helped height-

Lottery Share... continued from Page 1 en awareness of this issue in the General Assembly. The lottery is the only remaining state-funded support for public school construction.”

Over the past five years, counties have lost more than $300 million in lottery funds. The Legislature has reduced the county lottery share each of the past four years (see chart). For the current fiscal year, the Legislature appropriated $100 million – or slightly more than half of what counties would have received – to school construction. In 2013, the Legislature eliminated the statute that directed 40 percent of net lottery funds to school construction.

“Lottery distribution to localities is a key issue because local county budgets are being directly impacted,” Richardson said. “This is critical because previously 40 percent of lottery proceeds collected were distributed to the County through a formula.

Rockingham County invested $46 million towards new school construction based on receiving the Average Daily Membership (ADM) funds. But the State eliminated the ADM proceeds without the 40 percent distribution … only 22.7 percent for FY 2012-13 and 20.7 percent for FY 2013-14.”

Metzler explained: “Rockingham County will see a million dollar deficit per year based on not receiving these funds.” The County Manager said, “I’m troubled that since the General Statute was rescinded on lottery proceeds, there may be an adverse effect from financial institutions and the Local Government Commission (LGC) for future debt issuance for new construction.”

Letter to the editor: Local Church hosts benefit to battle sex trafficing...

Set Them Free is a ministry in India that is committed to rescuing young girls from lives of sexual slavery. Each year young children are captured or bought with the sole purpose of trading their freedom for the interests of others, before they even have a chance to grow up. Set Them Free makes a way to redeem these young girls and put them in homes where they can have a hope and a future, and also makes a way for these children to be impacted by the good news of Jesus Christ.

Blessed Hope Eden is hosting a benefit for this ministry called “Liberty and Barbecue for Y’all” on Saturday, July 12, from 4-7pm. There will be live music provided by Rocky and Gail Smith, as well as local talents Rob Haley and Dusty McPherson and more. There will be homemade barbecue plates, raffle for a homemade quilt, and other items are for sale as well. All proceeds will be donated directly to Set Them Free to help equip them for the difficult work of battling sex trafficking. Donations for Set Them Free Ministries will also be accepted.

The Bible says in Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” All humanity knows that it is wrong to steal the life of someone else, yet it happens in our world. Join us for a good time of family-friendly fun, make a difference in the life of a child through your generosity!

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life

JULY 2014 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 3 H

A King in Draper b Virginia Truslow’s family often teased her about the day she was saved from becoming a meal for an alligator. The reptile had ambled into the yard from his kingdom in the mill pond which was across the road from the Grover C.Truslow’s home on the corner of Carolina and Main in Draper. As a toddler playing in the backyard, she was probably oblivious to the wandering alligator. Fortunately her parents were not.

The mill pond had been built in 1906 to supply the water to the steam-powered GermanAmerican Mill. A rock dam was constructed for the purpose of containing the water from a spring that originated from the foot of a large willow oak. A square rock structure in the middle of the pond allowed excess water to overflow into it from the pond to a nearby creek. The mill pond quickly became a landmark for the new town, and it naturally became a popular spot for tent meetings, boating, picnics and baptisms. Young boys would hone their skills at fishing off the dam. Early families in this area used the spring for drinking water. Gypsies also camped there more than once offering their mystical fortune telling services to the townspeople. About eight years after the mill pond was built, an unlikely visitor established his kingdom usurping the domain of humans.

While wintering in Jacksonville, Florida, Will Miller, like many in those days purchased a baby alligator. In about 1914, he brought his new two-foot pet to Draper with him.

Miller must have had a good position at the mill, for the pet was well fed with steak and pork chops, a diet fit for a king, and he grew rapidly. The mill pond became the pet’s new home and he adapted well.

Miller had befriended the town’s first barber, Allen Claude Adams. Born in Georgia in 1884, Adams had made his way to this area by 1907 and opened one of the earliest businesses in town.

His barbershop was a small millbuilt building located between the mill pond and the intersection of Lake and Front Streets, now the intersection of S. Fieldcrest and Mill Avenue. Adams married the first cousin of future governor Luther Hodges and the family settled into the rhythm of life in the mill village.

When Miller left Draper two years later, he entrusted his friend Adams to care for and feed his pet. Miller had an alligator call he made with both hands to his mouth to make a deep sound and repeat it three times. The alligator would answer him and he would make another sound that prompted the alligator to come rapidly ashore. After Adams had mastered the call, Miller was confident that the barber could feed his pet. Miller promptly named the now four-foot alligator Adam after his friend and left for City Point, Virginia. Adams was never able again to call the alligator to meal.

By Darrell Meade Gregory

The heated residue from the mill boilers had condensing pumps that forced the hot water back into the pond keeping the water temperatures above normal. Sometimes the water was so hot in the summer that it caused fish kills with the accompanying stench. At those times, Adam was forced to find refuge on the south end of the pond in the cool of the shade trees.

The boiler water usually kept the pond from freezing, but, during at least one cold snap, Adam was taken out of the icy waters and warmed by a wood fire made by workmen. Adam also wintered inside the engine room beside the boilers and was fed chicken by the obliging boiler operators.

Adam had become quite the celebrity. The Reidsville Review did an article on him in May 1916. The townspeople would go to the alligator pond after Sunday dinner and feed him scraps so

they could catch a glimpse of the reptilian monarch.

Even though he was well taken care of, Adam refused to be domesticated. He ruled the area and would brazenly wander up the streets beside the pond at night. He was blamed for the occasional missing cat or dog.

Adam never lived out his life expectancy of 50-60 years. It is a widely held belief that Adam succumbed to a cold spell and froze to death one winter before people could get him out. Maybe some of the townspeople were not so enamored with Adam, for the mill Superintendant, Mr. G.C. Truslow told mill employee Henry Kirks that the alligator was found in the pond dead after being shot in the back. It is also rumored that Noble Deshazo, the town’s undertaker, had the hide of Adam in his furniture store for a while, but no remains have ever been found.

Local barber Allen Adams left the area sometime after 1919.

Power lines replaced the mill’s steam power, and the pond became a breeding ground for mosquitoes, thus creating a health hazard. Finally, in the 1920’s, the alligator pond in the depression behind the Draper storefronts was drained. The foundation of the rock dam off of which boys fished is now laying under Fieldcrest Road.

Fieldcrest Mills filled in the old pond with tons and tons of dirt to make a park out of it. In October 1947, Draper Park was

dedicated to the pioneers of the town and the Draper Boy Scouts raised the United States flag facing Fieldcrest Road. Later, a monument for the town’s fallen heroes of WWI and WWII was added beside the flagpole.

Despite these changes, the town’s faithful still refer to this area as the old alligator pond where Adam was king.

Meals on Wheels needs your help!

"I just love these people. Most days, they're the only people I see, and the meals are great!"

That was the sentiment expressed by 78 year-old "Sallie" when asked about Meals on Wheels, a service of Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County. This sentiment is shared by more than 200 homebound people who receive meals each weekday across Rockingham County.

Thanks to the generosity and support of Rockingham County citizens, volunteers and area businesses, Sallie is right, Meals on Wheels is more than a hot meal, it is the comfort of knowing someone will be stopping by to check on her and others like her. While we serve more than 200 homebound people each day, the need continues to grow as does our waiting list. That is why we are inviting you to join us for our second annual "Buy A Wheel" fundraising campaign.

From July 1 - July 31, 2014, we are asking local retailers to support this effort. You job is simple. Let us know how many

wheels you want. Then, beginning March 1, have your cashiers ask your patrons at checkout, "Would you like to donate $1 to Meals on Wheels of Rockingham County?" If yes, give them a wheel, have them write their name on it, and proudly display it in your store for the entire month.

In early April, we will get back with you to collect the donations and any unused wheels you still have. It's that simple.

Participating ensures that your establishment will be: • Promoted on our “Buy A Wheel website” at www.adtsrc.org/buyawheel.html • Promoted on ADTS's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ADTSRC). Each day, we will feature at least one participating establishment.

• Promoted on the air by radio station WLOE 1490 AM during our monthly @Home with ADTS radio show.

• Promoted with our 40+ volunteers and our 250+ staff.

By joining in Buy a Wheel 2014, you get the satisfaction of knowing that your business and your customers are fighting senior hunger right here in our community. This year, we hope to raise $9,000 with this event.

How can you help?

• Join us in Buy a Wheel by participating the entire month of July.

• Promote the event with promotional materials provided by ADTS and through social media.

• Please fill out the enclosed participation agreement form and return it to ADTS. • If you return the form by June 20, 2014 your store's name will appear on promotional materials.

County Division of Public Health Wishes Everyone a Safe and Healthy Summer As the temperature gets warmer, pools are opening and crowds are gearing up to head to the beach or their other favorite waterway. Swimming and other water-related activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits needed for a healthy life. However, understanding ways to protect yourself and your family from preventable injuries, and illnesses is the key to a safe and healthy summer.

your eyes from sun exposure.

Use sunscreen with at least SPF15 before you go outside, even on slightly cloudy or cool days.

Put a thicker layer on all parts of exposed skin and re-apply if you stay in the sun for more than two hours.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. UV rays reflect off water, sand, and snow. UV rays also reach below water surfaces. Protecting your skin from the sun and avoiding sunburn during all stages of life is important, however, protecting skin from the sun and sunburn during childhood and adolescence reduces cancer risk later in life. To avoid this -often timespainful condition, use the following precautions.

Seek shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter before you need relief from the sun.

Wear a T-shirt, sarong, or beach cover up as an additional defense against UV rays.

Wear a hat with a wide brim that shades your face, ears, and the back of your neck.

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. They also protect the tender skin around

guards whenever possible.

Fence off the pool area to create a barrier for small children.

Avoid alcohol, especially while supervising children.

Don’t let swimmers hyperventilate before swimming underwater or try to hold their breath for long periods of time. This can cause them to pass out (sometimes called “shallow water blackout”) and drown.

Learn CPR. Know how to prevent recreational water illnesses (RWIs).

Do not swim if you have a “stomach bug” or feel ill.

Shower with soap before you start swimming and take a rinse shower before getting back into water.

Take children on bathroom breaks every 60 minutes or check diapers every 30-60 minutes.

Always change diapers in the bathroom or diaper changing area and not at poolside where germs can rinse into the water.

When spending the day splashing and playing around in the pool, beach, or lake, injury or drowning may not be the first thing on your mind. Yet drowning ranks 5th among the leading causes of death. In the United States, almost 4,000 persons die from drowning each year. The good news is that most of these drowning-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths are predictable and preventable. Being aware of the risks and taking safety precautions are proven ways to prevent drowning injuries and death. Use the following precautions when planing your next water activity.

Learn to swim.

Wear life jackets. Do NOT USE air-filled or foam toys as a safety device. These toys are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

Closely watch swimmers in or around the water.

Use the Buddy System.

Look for lifeguards and select swimming sites that have life-

Even though May was National Water Safety Awareness Month, it is never too late to learn how to protect yourself and family from water related illnesses, injuries, and death.

Known as the “Silent Killer”, carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas, that can overcome its victim undeterred. CO may be produced by appliances, generators, heaters, and power tools fueled by natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP gas), oil, kerosene, coal, gasoline, or wood. Burning charcoal and running cars also produce CO. Everyone is at risk for CO poisoning or death form CO exposure.

However, unborn babies, children, the elderly, and individuals with existing upper respiratory conditions are at greater risk for illness or death.

Exposure to CO can cause loss of consciousness and death. The initial symptoms of CO poisoning resemble the flu. The symptoms include: headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. People who are sleeping or have been drinking can die from CO poisoning without ever have symptoms.

According to the NC Department of Health and Human Services, every year over

400 people in the United States die from CO exposure and thousands visit hospital emergency rooms for treatment. According to the North Carolina Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, March 2014 monthly report (most current report): Carolinas Poison Center (CPC): In addition to ED visits, 30 calls related to CO exposure were captured through the CPC. 63 exposed persons were mentioned in 30 calls 30 (48%) Female 33 (52%) Male Site Exposure 56 (89%) Residence 4 (6%) Workplace 2 (3%) Unidentified 1 (2%) Public Area March 2014 CO Exposure Descriptions: - Higher numbers of ED visits were noted during March’s ice and snow storms, which resulted in many power outages.

- Higher numbers of ED visits were also noted on days of extreme cold and snow in January.

- Use of generators, portable

Landfill to impose fees for uncovered loads

heaters, and charcoal grills were reported sources of multiple CO exposures.

- Children aged 0 – 17 made up 33 percent of CPC calls and 28 percent of ED visits.

Even though carbon monoxide exposure may increase during the colder months, other activities, such as camping can increase your exposure year round.

Fortunately, carbon monoxide exposure, resulting in illness or death is preventable with several steps: • Install CO detector/alarm that meets the requirements of the current UL standard 2034 or the IAS 6-96 standard.

• Make sure appliances are installed according to manufacturer’s instructions.

• Never burn charcoal indoors.

• Never use portable camping

equipment indoors.

• Never leave a car running in an attached garage.

• Never use gas appliances, such as a stove, to heat your home.

• Do not use gasoline-powered tools or generators indoors, or outdoors near doors and windows.

• Do not operate un-vented fuelburning appliances in rooms with closed doors and windows, or in rooms where people are sleeping.

For more information about carbon monoxide exposure prevention, contact your local Environmental Health Section at www.rockinghamcountypublichealth.org or NC Department of Health and Human Service, Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology at www.epi.publihealth.nc.gov/oee.

Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, the pretty girl said, "I would like to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard," replied the male clerk with a smirk. "That's fine," said the girl.

"I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out.

The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old geezer standing beside her, and smiled, "Grandpa will pay the bill."

Rockingham County Rivers give life to communities With four rivers providing more than 60 miles of flowing waters, Rockingham County is a natural playground for water lovers. Our rivers offer an alternative to whitewater with recreational canoeing, kayaking or tubing for all skill levels. Here, you can have a leisurely float on calm, “flat” water or find thrills across Class I, II, and III rapids.

Plus, you can spend some time playing in our two riverside state parks, The Haw River State Park and The Mayo River State Park.

With a number of public access points, you can plan your experience for just a couple hours or several days. Local outfitters can assist with your trip, or you can bring your own gear. Come and experience Rockingham County Rivers—where the water is always plentiful for play.

The Dan The Rockingham County portion of the Dan is 38 miles long and its waters are plentiful for paddling the entire year. Some call the Dan a “lazy river” because its pace is leisurely and relaxing, making it well-suited for paddlers of all skill levels and fun for the entire family. The Dan flows through the wide floodplains, high banks and tree-covered corridors and is favored for its slower pace and historical significance. Sights to see along the Dan range from fossils more than 200 million years old to remaining sites of the Saura Indian tribe, as well as remainders of bateau systems (19th century commercial river transportaion).

The Mayo For paddlers looking for a mix of rushing rapids and smooth water, the Mayo is your quest. The upper portion of the Mayo features Class II and III rapids and the infamous “Boiling Hole” rapid. This section is only recommended for very experienced paddlers. The water below the

rapids is smooth with a steady current, which is perfect for less experienced paddlers. Sites along the Mayo include well-preserved Native American fish traps, early dams used to generate power in Mayodan, rock bluffs, two natural waterfalls and tons of vegetation and wildlife. The Mayo flows for 16 miles in Rockingham County until it converges with the Dan. The Mayo River State Park is a linear, riverside state park currently in development and more outdoor fun waits at its Mayo Mountain Access in Mayodan.

The Smith Paddle trips on the Smith River are perfect for those who want to enjoy just an hour or two on the water in Eden, or a full day by starting upstream in Virginia. The river originates in Virginia and flows five miles in Rockingham County until it converges with the Dan River in Eden. This river is very scenic with lots of rock

outcroppings, foliage and wildlife, including smallmouth bass and trout. Experienced paddlers can find Class I, II and III rapids on various sections of the Smith. There is one public access point at the Smith River Greenway in Eden that provides a two mile float trip downstream to the confluence of the Smith and Dan Rivers.

The Haw A small portion of the Haw River flows from Guilford County into Rockingham County just south of Reidsville. A major section of The Haw River State Park and its Summit Educational Center are located in Rockingham County on approximately 300 acres of beautiful Piedmont land. While this state park is in the early stages of development, the Summit Educational Center was the first major acquisition and is open to the public.

Nadia’s Haven of Hope works to protect dogs from chaining Nadia was a beautiful Pit bull, red in color, and her story is a sad one. For three years, her neighbor watched her live at the end of a heavy logging chain with only about 6 feet of room to move.

Day after day, no one spent time with Nadia. No one played with her, no one loved her. Because she had food, shelter and water no one could do anything. She had no contact and no warmth from the bitter cold. Nadia had a litter of puppies that died when exposed to near zero temperatures. When Nadia broke away and bit someone (this happened after the owner allowed her to be tormented by having cans thrown at her), her owner was first allowed to keep her then was forced to turn her over to animal control. By then, Nadia was severely malnourished, in poor health, and her spirit was broken.

Her supporters did all they could to bring her back to good health, but to no avail. Nadia didn’t make it. Sadly, there are many

others just like Nadia in our community. Nadia’s Haven of Hope Foundation wants to see the abuse stop.

Nadia’s Haven of Hope Foundation: Paws With A Cause was founded in spring 2014. Our mission is to improve animal welfare and promote responsible pet ownership in our community.

To accomplish this mission, we are focusing on the following: promoting the fostering and adoption of rescue animals; promoting spay, neuter and vaccinations; providing a canine and feline food bank for the needy; providing education to youth and adults about the proper care of animals; working collaboratively with area rescue efforts; and strengthening animal cruelty laws, including anti-tethering.

We are also in the very early stages of working with the City of Eden Parks and Recreation Department and the American Legion Post 254 to develop and fund a “Bark Park at Freedom

Park”, a fenced area for dogs to play and socialize. We stand for ALL animals.

If you would like to help improve the quality of life for animals in the Eden area, we challenge you to share your talents with Nadia’s Haven of Hope! We are a 100% volunteer organization trying to reach everyone in Eden and the surrounding area. If you have four hours a day to spare, or one hour per month, you can help us make a difference! They can’t speak for themselves, but we can!

Donate! Volunteer! Speak Up! Follow us at www.nadiahavenofhopefoundation.com, Nadia’s Haven of Hope Foundation Facebook page, or email us at nadiashopefoundation@gmail.com.

NC Senate Cuts Services to Seniors Submitted by T. Lee Covington, Executive Director, ATDS

Reidsville, NC - At the end of May, the North Carolina Senate passed their version of the state budget for fiscal year (FY) 2015. It reduces funding for services to adults age 60+ by nearly $1 million statewide, at a time when more than 16,000 seniors are wait listed.

The NC State Senate approved their version of the state budget on Saturday, May 31st, which reduced funding for the Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) by $969,549.

Rockingham County stands to lose around $21,000. The Block Grant funds key services that help older adults stay in their homes as long as possible, such as Meals on Wheels and in-home aide.

This cut is occurring when there are already 16,000 seniors on waiting lists statewide (nearly 300 in Rockingham County), with more being added every day as the Baby Boomer population ages. North Carolina ranks 9th in the nation in age 65+ population and 10th in the nation in the most frail age 85+ population. Of those receiving services funded through the Home and Community Care Bock Grant, 62% are age 75 or older.

This decrease in the Home and Community Care Bock Grant is the equivalent of the loss of approximately 161,591 home-delivered meals statewide. In the Piedmont Triad area, this represents 27,470 meals. The Block Grant cut is cause for alarm because it puts a higher number of older adults at increased risk of poor health outcomes, resulting in nursing home placement that costs as much as twenty-five times more than services that promote aging in place.

Slashing services that support aging adults in their homes costs the state many times more once they are no longer able to stay at home and must be placed in long-term care facilities. In state fiscal year 2014, agencies spent 2% of the $555 million budget allocated to the Piedmont Triad region by the Department of Health and Human Services on services promoting aging in place, compared to 34% of the budget spent for nursing home residents.

The Senate Budget also includes a 2% cut in Medicaid reimbursement rates for essential services such as case management, home delivered meals, adult day health and in home aide. This is on top of a recent dramatic cut in rates for the Personal Care Services program and two cuts in Medicaid rates over the past four years. ADTS Executive Director, T. Lee Covington, states “These cuts are going to make it extremely difficult for us to provide qual-

(Behind BB&T) Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler receives BP Fabric of America Fund check from BP employee Donald H. Overton of Stokesdale.

Rockingham County Gov't Receives BP Commendation & Check BP employee Donald H. Overton of Stokesdale shared good news with Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler on June 18th.

Overton recommended to his employer, the Rockingham County Government, as an organization making a positive contribution. BP expressed its gratitude with a $300 gift from the BP Fabric of America Fund.

This is the second year Overton has recommended Rockingham County for this commendation and gift. Metzler thanked Overton for his continued support and concern for his home county and the extra steps he took to make the commendation and gift possible.

BP is proud of employees, like Donald H. Overton in Rockingham County, who joins their efforts to strengthen communities through support for organizations like Rockingham County Government that aids neighbors in need, educational initiatives that benefit youth, and other programs that enrich the quality of life.

Through the innovative Fabric of America fund, every U.S. employee can direct BP contributions to a community organization of their choice. Since the fund's inception in 2007, BP has given more than $23 million on behalf of their employees, helping to support more than 16,000 organizations in all 50 states.

On behalf of approximately 20,000 BP people in the United States, the BP Fabric of America Fund thanked Rockingham County Government for working to make a difference in people's lives.

For nearly 150 years, BP and its heritage companies have demonstrated a strong commitment to American communities. BP can be found in oil and gas fields from Alaska, across the Rockies and out to the deep water Gulf of Mexico, providing millions of Americans with fuel for transportation; energy for heat and light' lubricants to keep engines moving; and petrochemical for everyday products. While BP wants their businesses to thrive, they know that success often depends on the communities they operate in prosper as well.

Judy Wood, member of the Two Rivers Quilt Guild, with son Justin Wood, Captain of the Eden Rescue Squad The Two Rivers Quilt Guild recently made the generous donation of an exceptionally crafted quilt to the local Eden Rescue Squad.

The quilt was created by the many hands of the guild, with several contributing squares that were incorporated into the gift box pattern. The borders were then applied and the quilt was sent to Faye Carter to be quilted. Debra Lambert, president of the club, handled the binding.

In June the guild presented the quilt to Justin Wood, Chief of the Rescue Squad who offered his thanks for all the hard work that went into it and for what the donation means to the squad.

There are now tickets being sold for the raffle, $1 each, that will be drawn for at the Riverfest. The squad will use the proceeds from the raffle to help pay for the recently purchased squad costing some $274,000.

If you would like to see the quilt, it will be on display in July at the Eden Chambr of Commerce office at 678 S. Van Buren Rd., Eden, Monday - Friday 9-5. You may also purchase tickets for the raffle at this site.

The Link Between Oral & Overall Health!

Here’s a great sound bite for you: The health of your mouth may mirror your overall health. What’s the link? For one, good dental care helps prevent a buildup of bacteria and inflammation from gum disease. And that may help protect other parts of your body.

Researchers need to conduct more studies to confirm the possible links, but evidence is growing.

Heart and blood vessels. Research suggests that heart disease and stroke may be linked to bacteria in your mouth. For example, a recent worldwide trial of nearly 16,000 people showed a strong link between oral health and heart health risk factors in people with chronic heart disease. Gum bleeding was linked with higher levels of “bad” cholesterol and high blood pressure. Other studies show that heart attacks are more common in people who have dental disease.

Diabetes. Research also shows a connection between diabetes and gum disease. But which leads to which? It actually goes both ways. Gum disease may get worse if you have diabetes. Some even call it the “sixth complication of diabetes.” People with diabetes who have gum disease also have trouble controlling their blood sugar levels. And this may make it harder to manage their disease.

Other possible links. There appears to be a link between gum disease and premature birth and low birth weight. Affecting the other end of the lifespan, early tooth loss may be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. There’s also a bit of evidence pointing to a link between bone and tooth loss and weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis).

Overall wellbeing. Taking good care of your teeth and gums can also affect your general quality of life. If you’re in pain or have missing teeth or infections, that can affect how you speak, eat, and interact with other people. As you can see, good dental health isn’t just about staying cavity free.

How can you know whether or not you have gum disease? After all, millions of people don’t know they have this serious infection. The obvious step is to see your dentist. Also, check for signs and symptoms of gum disease such as: · Red, swollen, or tender gums · Bleeding when you brush or floss · Loose teeth · Bad breath · Sores or pus in your mouth · A change in your bite or the way your partial dentures fit Here’s another important thing to know about oral health. Certain medications, such as antihistamines and diuretics, can have side effects that affect your mouth. Bring me a list of your medications and we can talk over how to minimize or manage any side effects you may have.

While you’re in our store, stock up on the products you need to maintain good oral health: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss for daily brushing and flossing. Don’t forget to replace your toothbrush every three to four months—sooner if the bristles become worn. Combine these daily practices with regular dental checkups and a healthy diet. And, you’ll be well on your way to good oral health—and a healthier body, too.

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.

Cipriani warns citizens about scam mailing Rockingham County Register of Deeds Rebecca Cipriani is warning Rockingham County citizens to beware of the following company: Record Transfer Services 3835 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, Suite 78 Westlake Village, CA, 91362 Phone: 888-457-5450.

Record Transfer Services is mailing a "Recorded Deed Notice" to property owners instructing them to send a document fee of $83 within a certain deadline date in order to obtain a current grant deed and property assessment profile.

Cipriani warns citizens to

beware of this mailing and that it did not come from the Rockingham County Register of Deeds Office, which maintains these recorded deeds that are accessible to the public for free.

According to Cipriani: "Within the past several years, there have been other companies participating in a similar mailing trying to obtain this exorbitant amount of money for something that a homeowner can obtain for free. Local county websites such as the Register of Deeds website, the Tax Department website, and the GIS website can be used to find this same information for free."

cially concerned with our elderly population being scared by this Notice and sending money for something that is not necessary.

Although the mailing does contain wording that the company is not affiliated with the State of North Carolina or the County Recorder and is a solicitation and not a bill, I have been receiving numerous calls from our citizens who think my Office sent this to them and that they are required to respond."

In addition to this information being available on-line for free, a person could request a certified copy of a deed if they need it for official or legal purposes.

The cost to obtain a certified copy of a deed is $5 for the first page and $2 for each additional page. Often, a deed is only one or two pages.

If the public needs assistance in obtaining a copy of their deed, they can contact the Rockingham County Register of Deeds Office for assistance. The land records recorded and maintained at the Register of Deeds Office are public records so it is not necessary to pay a company to be able to see a copy of a deed.

The Attorney General's Office has instituted legal action in past situations to prevent other companies from mailing similar notices to North Carolina property owners. If a citizen receives a similar mailing or if they know of citizens who paid money to this company, they can contact the NC Department of Justice at 919716-6000 and ask for Julie Daniel.

This is not the first time Cipriani has encountered companies trying to take advantage of citizens. On October 2, 2007, she was awarded "The Old North State Award" from Governor Mike Easley for helping to bring a national lending scam to light in North Carolina resulting in the company being banned from mortgage dealings in the State and having to pay huge fines.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE10 ity services, pay a living wage and provide any level of benefits for our employees. This decision will reduce our Medicaid revenue by about $80,000 and will have a significantly negative economic impact on Rockingham County.”

This mission is accomplished through providing an array of community services including In Home Aide (CAP-DA, PCS, Home & Community Care Block Grant, Private Pay), Meals on Wheels, Meals With Friends Nutrition Sites, Adult Day Care/Day Health, RCATS Public Access Transportation, Eden skat bus transportation, Community Resource Connections, Volunteer Caregiver Services, Family Caregiver Support, Center for Active Retirement and Advocacy and Referral Services.

Fracking is Law in North Carolina In June, Governor Pat McCrory held a ceremony on the campus of North Carolina State University to sign Senate Bill 786, the Energy Modernization Act. The bill was fast-tracked through the Senate and House at the beginning of short session.

The bill allows allowing drilling permits to be issued sixty (60) days after the state Mining and Energy Commission (MEC) finalizes rules for the industry. Opponents of the bill, including environmental groups from around the country, said lawmakers broke their promise to review and approve the rules before a statewide suspension on drilling could be lifted.

And Republican leadership used a parliamentary maneuver to halt Democratic proposals in a move allowing amendments to be killed without a recorded vote.

“The Governor should be ashamed to sign a bill that is the inverse of our State’s motto ‘Esse Quam Videri’,” remarked Democratic Chairman Randy Voller. “Pushing the petrochemical industry down the throats of the citizens of North Carolina indicates to me that the Governor is waving a white flag and surrendering our mountains, beaches, rivers, streams, lakes and farmland to a rapacious and secretive industry, who refuse to let the public know the chemical composition of its fracking fluid nor is consistently willing to do what we are all taught in kindergarten--clean up your own mess.”

I love summer! It is my favorite time of the year! I love the heat, the sunshine; the smell of fresh cut grass, summer rain. I love the beautiful sunsets, the sunrises and early morning walks. I love the fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers I get from our Local Community Supported Agricultural Farm - Handance Farm. I love gatherings with friends and family, beach and lake trips and just sitting on the porch with a fresh glass of water or wine taking in the air and beauty of summer.

Summer brings activities that we often don't do throughout the year: Activities like swimming, boating, and other outdoor fun. These are fun and great.

With the extra heat, there are certain precautions to be made.

Here are some of my favorite summer tips to support you in keeping healthy and well: 1) Eat lots of fresh vegetables.

These provide essential minerals and vitamins from nature that your body needs. If possible, buy fresh vegetables them from your local farmer. These are fresher, picked at peak times which ensure that energy and nutrients are higher than those that are shipped in and bought at a grocery store. And you also are helping to support local jobs in your area when you do so.

2) Make sure to eat protein with your vegetables to keep your brain and muscle performance at its best. And eat lighter at night so you rest better.

3) When exercising: do so early morning or late evening when the air is cooler.

4) Drink plenty of water. Keep a plastic bottle of water in the freezer. Grab one when you're ready to go outside. As the ice melts you'll have a supply of cold water with you. and stay cool to avoid overheating.

5) Stay cool to avoid overheating. Ways that help keep the body cool, as well as providing stamina and endurance are as follows: · Add Lemon, Mint Leaves, or Cucumber Slices to water · Replace Coffee with Lemon Grass Ice Tea, Mint Tea, and Green Tea. These provide essential nutrients needed for summer that coffee does not.

6) Balance activity and take time with rest. For example: · Read a good book · Take time to be still; Enjoy the beauty around you.

7) July is the month we celebrate Independence Day in the USA. Take time to Celebrate those things that represent Freedom or Independence to you personally.

8) If setting off Fireworks practice safety first 9) Be mindful of your pets They need to stay cool too. · Make sure they have access to plenty of water to drink and

shade available. · Never leave your pets in a parked car. The temperature inside of vehicles rise very quickly to dangerous levels within minutes · Watch for signs of heatstroke with your pet (Heavy panting or breathing, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, excessive thirst, dizziness, etc) and have a plan of action to treat them and get them to the vet quickly if needed 10) Create your own waterslide or have a fun water "fight" outside (make sure the hose is on soft rather than hard flow to keep from hurting anyone) 11) Wear loose fitting Cotton clothing. These keep you cooler than synthetics.

12) Use common sense. Pay special attention to the elderly, infants, children and anyone with chronic illness as they tend to dehydrate more easily.

Ultimately HAVE FUN and BE SAFE! YES. You Matter. Own Your Value. HAVE FUN! Be fully alive and In Touch In Life.

He led the County's efforts to expand broadband Internet infrastructure, established a virtual farmers’ market and shared-use community kitchen and implemented a renewable energy project, which brings in $400k in annual profits to the area.

Chinqua-Penn Walking Trail

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

“Come, and you may find some meditation for the mind, some solace for the soul, some harmony for the heart. Anyhow, come!!” – Jeff Penn Located on the Upper Piedmont Research Station, next to Chinqua-Penn mansion, is The Trail... built in 1923 by Jeff and Betsy Penn. The Station created the Trail in 1997 for public use.

This 1.7-mile loop Trail is excellent for recreational walking, featuring wildlife, historical sites, and the Station’s agricultural research. Leashed, wellbehaved dogs are welcome.

The Trail begins at the Parking Lot near the Trail’s information kiosk. As you venture on you eventually reach the Stew Site, where Jeff Penn cooked his unique Brunswick Stew for parties where the Penns and their guests ate and played cards at large stone tables and stone chairs. The Spring House covers a natural spring.

A short distance further on your right you reach Turkey Pond, home to a flock of Canada Geese, is visited by ducks, herons, and other water birds.

A low stone dam on the brook creates a small waterfall called Little Niagara, a gesture to Betsy Penn’s inheritance from Niagara Falls Power Company.

As you continue on a short stroll you come upon the Pump House which was built to pump water from Lake Betsy up to the Penns’ mansion to irrigate their extensive gardens.

Lake Betsy was named for Mrs. Penn. Native stone quarried from two quarries near the Trail was used for the rock dam, the mansion, and other structures on the farm. The viewing platform below the dam permits a view of its face, containing seven millstones and a placard with a poem dedicating the dam. At the elegant dome-roofed Summer House (gazebo) overlooking Lake Betsy, the Penns enjoyed Sunday brunches on the millstone tables.

The concrete foundation of a stone crusher is beside the larger

of two Stone Quarries. The State of North Carolina monitors groundwater at this location.

Since the Trail winds past pastures, streams, lakes, and mature hardwood forests, a variety of animals, birds, and plants may be seen. The trail is part of the North Carolina Birding Trail (ncbirdingtrail.org).

After a bit longer stroll you come by the area that Penn’s buried their prized Cocker Spaniels and English Setters in the Dog Cemetery, which was begun in 1940.

The Trail begins and ends at a parking lot on the corner of Trail Way off Wentworth Street just west of the Mansion at 2138 Wentworth Street, between Salem Church Road and Parkland Road. Trailhead GPS is 36.382734, -79.703128. It is open dawn to dusk, 7 days a week.

“With their leadership, we will easily surpass the goals they’ve established, and create a greater community awareness of the important role the Chamber plays here in Reidsville, NC.” The campaign kicked off June 18. The Membership180

team has been working with the Chamber staff, the Board of Directors, and dozens of volunteers to prepare them for the hard work ahead. “We’re ready!” said Sawyer. “This is an exciting time for our community and I know we’re ALL up to the challenge!”

Division of Public Health Wishes you a Safe and Healthy Summer As the temperature gets warmer, pools are opening and crowds are gearing up to head to the beach or their other favorite waterway.

Swimming and other water-related activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits needed for a healthy life. However, understanding ways to protect yourself and your family from preventable injuries, and illnesses is the key to a safe and healthy summer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. UV rays reflect off water, sand, and snow. UV rays also reach below water surfaces. Protecting your skin from the sun and avoiding sunburn during all stages of life is important, however, protecting skin from the sun and sunburn during childhood and adolescence reduces cancer risk later in life. To avoid this -often times- painful condition, use the following precautions.

Seek shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter before you need relief from the sun.

Wear a T-shirt, sarong, or beach cover up as an additional defense against UV rays. And wear a hat with a wide brim that shades your face, ears, and the back of your neck.

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. They also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure.

Use sunscreen with at least SPF15 before you go outside, even on slightly cloudy or cool days.

Put a thicker layer on all parts of exposed skin and re-apply if you stay in the sun for more than two hours.

When spending the day splashing and playing around in the pool, beach, or lake, injury or drowning may not be the first thing on your mind. Yet drowning ranks 5th among the leading causes of death. In the United States, almost 4,000 persons die from drowning each year. The good news is that most of these drowning-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths are predictable and preventable.

Being aware of the risks and taking safety precautions are proven ways to prevent drowning injuries and death. Use the following precautions when planing your next water activity.

Learn to swim.

Wear life jackets. Do NOT USE air-filled or foam toys as a safety device. These toys are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

Closely watch swimmers in or around the water.

Use the Buddy System.

Look for lifeguards and select swimming sites that have lifeguards whenever possible.

Fence off the pool area to create a barrier for small children.

Avoid alcohol, especially while supervising children.

Don’t let swimmers hyperventilate before swimming underwater or try to hold their breath for long periods of time. This can cause them to pass out (sometimes called “shallow water blackout”) and drown.

Learn CPR. Know how to prevent recreational water illnesses (RWIs).

Do not swim if you have a “stomach bug” or feel ill.

Shower with soap before you start swimming and take a rinse shower before getting back into water.

Take children on bathroom breaks every 60 minutes or check diapers every 30-60 minutes.

Always change diapers in the bathroom or diaper changing area and not at poolside where germs can rinse into the water.

Even though May was National Water Safety Awareness Month, it is never too late to learn how to protect yourself and family from water related illnesses, injuries, and death. For more information about water safety, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecreationalSafety/index.html and Rockingham County Environmental Health Section at www.rockinghamcountypublichealth.org.

Scotton Shoe Shop A mainstay in Madison, Scotton Shoe Shop is now celebrating it's 80th year of business. Established in 1934 by Coy H. Scotton and followed by Curtis and Eulalia Scotton; Scotton Shoe Shop is now ran by the grandson, Brian Scotton, making it the oldest family operated business in Madison.

Many things have changed over the past 80 years, but the pride of craftsmanship has remained the same. People from miles around visit to get their shoes repaired and touched up. The business is doing so well that now, due to the amount of unclaimed shoes that were brought in, Brian had to adopt a new policy of paying for repair in advance. Space is at a premium.

In 2012, The Madison License Plate Agency operated by Becky Scotton relocated in the same building. Brian and Becky enjoy working together providing personal customer service and being an integral part of the community. They give God all the glory for what he has allowed them to do. This is certainly a place to come whether you "walk or ride."

RC Division of Public Health Warns of the Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Exposure Known as the “Silent Killer”, carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas, that can overcome its victim undeterred. CO may be produced by appliances, generators, heaters, and power tools fueled by natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP gas), oil, kerosene, coal, gasoline, or wood. Burning charcoal and running cars also produce CO. Everyone is at risk for CO poisoning or death form CO exposure. However, unborn babies, children, the elderly, and individuals with existing upper respiratory conditions are at greater risk for illness or death. Exposure to CO can cause loss of consciousness and death. The initial symptoms of CO poisoning resemble the flu. The symptoms include: headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. People who are sleeping or have been drinking can die from CO poisoning without ever have symptoms.

According to the NC Department of Health and Human Services, every year over 400 people in the United States die from CO exposure and thousands visit hospital emergency rooms for treatment. According to the North Carolina Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, March 2014 monthly report (most current report):

Senate Bill would close all N.C. Coal Ash Ponds Building on the foundation proposed by Gov. Pat McCrory, Senate Rules Committee Chairman Tom Apodaca (RHenderson) and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) on Monday introduced a comprehensive and aggressive plan for coal ash mitigation that would give North Carolina the strictest regulations on coal ash in the country and make it the first state to force the closure of all coal ash ponds.

“Addressing the environmental, regulatory and consumer protection concerns caused by North Carolina’s coal ash ponds is one of the Senate’s top priorities – and that’s why it was the focus of the very first bill we filed this short session,” said Apodaca.

“This is a long-standing problem that started three quarters of a century ago, and I’m pleased to be a part of the first General Assembly to take it seriously.”

The proposed committee substitute to Senate Bill 729 sets a firm 15-year timetable for dewatering and closing all unlined coal ash ponds in North Carolina and eliminates the practice of wet ash disposal. The plan requires the Dan River, Asheville, Riverbend and Sutton coal ash ponds to be excavated and closed

as quickly as practicable – and no later than 2019.

The remaining ponds will be classified into three categories of risk. Sites determined to be highrisk must be closed within five years (by no later than 2019), intermediate-risk sites by no later than 2024 and low-risk sites by no later than 2029. High and intermediate-risk ponds may not be capped in place – instead, coal ash from those facilities must be stored in lined landfills or recycled toward a beneficial use such as concrete production or roadway construction. And low-risk ponds can only be capped in place if both DENR and an independent coal ash commission agree and if strict closure and long-term monitoring requirements are met.

In addition, the bill mandates that all future coal ash disposal must be managed in new or existing lined landfills with extensive groundwater monitoring. It also requires pond owners to divert stormwater away from ash ponds and phase out the disposal of wet ash – the sludge that spilled into the Dan River – within five years.

And it immediately makes it illegal to construct or expand wet coal ash ponds statewide.

consumers, the bill bans utility companies from recovering costs for the damage caused by coal ash spills, including associated civil or criminal fines. And it immediately places a moratorium on all rate increases from utilities that use coal ash ponds in North Carolina until January 15, 2015.

“As a resident of Eden, I have personally experienced the impact and understand the gravity of the recent coal ash spill,” said Berger. “I am pleased the Senate has developed the most aggressive approach to eliminating coal ash in the entire country to protect consumers and mitigate environmental problems.”

The bill also: • Forms a new, independent and specialized Coal Ash Management Commission to review and approve risk classifications and closure plans proposed by owners of coal ash ponds and DENR. Making policy recommendations to the General Assembly to ensure efficient and safe coal ash management statewide. It will consist of nine people with experience in areas such as public health, waste management and conservation.

• Creates 29 new positions for the regulation, mitigation and oversight of coal ash management operations – 25 at DENR and 4 staff for the commission funded by utilities with coal ash ponds and cannot be passed on to consumers.

• Expands on many of governor’s other recommendations: - Strengthening regulations on the use of coal ash as structural fill.

- Requiring utilities to assess and correct existing and future contamination of ground, surface and drinking water, with oversight through DENR. - Strengthening dam inspection laws -Requires utilities to look at markets for innovative commercial uses of coal ash and study technology that could be used to more effectively manage coal ash. And it directs DENR, DOT and other agencies to study ways to recycle coal ash through beneficial use projects.

Report highlights MillerCoors exceeded goals MillerCoors water and energy use reached record lows last year, according to the 2014 MillerCoors Sustainability Report, Great Beer, Great Responsibility, released recently.

The nation’s second-largest brewer is now using an average of 3.48 barrels of water to brew one barrel of beer, a 9.1 percent decrease from 2012. For comparison, some U.S. breweries use more than 6 barrels of water to produce a single barrel of beer[1].

MillerCoors decreased its energy use by 15.6 percent from 2012, saving 1.6 billion mega joules of energy over the course of 2013.

With these reductions and others, MillerCoors surpassed all the environmental stewardship goals it set out to achieve by 2015.

“Our employees are our most valuable asset and the driv-

ing force behind our success in sustainability,” said MillerCoors CEO Tom Long. “From expanding our flagship Free Rides program to reducing our water and energy use to all-time lows, our employees are dedicated to doing the right thing for our company, our communities and our consumers.”

In the new report, MillerCoors said the use of short interval controls and improved efficiencies throughout its brewing and packaging processes yielded significant water savings across its breweries: from 2011 to 2013, MillerCoors saved more than 1.1 billion gallons of water as a result of its reductions.

Great Beer, Great Responsibility outlines the brewer’s other sustainability achievements in 2013, including: · Reducing packaging by 3.6 percent from 2012 · Providing more than 639,000 safe rides through the Coors Light and Miller Lite Free Rides programs in 13 communities · Partnering with the online taxifinder app Hailo to give away $3 million worth of taxi rides in New York City, Chicago and Boston during the holiday season · Launching Miller Lite Tap the Future, a competition that pits teams of entrepreneurs against each other for a chance to win a piece of a $400,000 prize pool

“Do it with all your might” I get asked by people how I do all the things that I do. I don't know the answer to that question.

I take each day as it comes and I handle what comes my way. I also have a very good calendar app on my phone that goes to some great big "cloud" that my wife can see. I am learning to say no to some things and to concentrate my time and energy towards an end goal. I want to be a good example to my kids.

With this in mind I have discovered people who accomplish things have some of the same characteristics: They move on when something doesn't work, they don't feel sorry for themselves. They keep control, they don't give away their power.

They welcome challenges and embrace change. They are kind, fair, and unafraid to speak up but they do not worry about pleasing everybody. They are willing to take calculated risks, they weigh their options and then take action.

They do not dwell in the past but they still manage to take full responsibility for past actions.

Here is a big one they celebrate other's success as well as their own. They are willing to fail at something, it's not a failure if you learn something. They are prepared to work for their own success and want to succeed on their own merits. They know the world doesn't owe them any-

White thing. They reflect on their progress and take time to consider what they have achieved and where they are headed. They can see the big picture and evaluate their core beliefs and adjust them as needed. Successful people don't get stuck they keep moving.

They replace their negative thoughts with productive ones.

They accept their feelings, process them and then get on with life.

I do lots of things. I enjoy what I do. No, I love what I do and I am good at. That is the example I want to set for my kids. Do what you love and do it to the absolute best that you can.

Ecclesiastes 9: 10 says "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might for in the grave there neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." If you follow that simple verse the success will come, it may not be what you planned.

And it may not even be your original definition of success but it is success. Last week I worked at 2 different jobs and worked in my own massage practice. The success is that I still managed to take my kids to school every day. The little successes count as much as the big ones.

Reidsville High Student Headed to Summer Ventures Congratulations to India Brown, 10th grade student at Reidsville High, for being selected to participate in the 2014 S u m m e r Ventures in Science and Mathematics (SVSM) proBrown gram at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This is a cost-free, state-funded program for academically talented North Carolina residents who have demonstrated interest in science and mathematics and aspire to a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Rising juniors and seniors across the state will be placed in residential settings for four weeks of intensive study.

The curriculum is designed to take students beyond what they would traditionally learn in high school courses, providing them with an outstanding opportunity to build on laboratory skills, mathematical modeling, strategies in mathematical problem solving and exploratory data analysis.

A statewide program of the University of North Carolina system, SVSM is administered by the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Four campuses of the university system host the SVSM institutes.

An admissions committee, comprised of professionals from across North Carolina, selects finalists to participate in Summer Ventures. Each finalist is assigned to a specific institute site based primarily on academic program preferences.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 Carolinas Poison Center (CPC): In addition to ED visits, 30 calls related to CO exposure were captured through the CPC. 63 exposed persons were mentioned in 30 calls 30 (48%) Female 33 (52%) Male Site Exposure 56 (89%) Residence 4 (6%) Workplace 2 (3%) Unidentified 1 (2%) Public Area March 2014 CO Exposure Descriptions Higher numbers of ED visits were noted during March’s ice and snow storms, which resulted in many power outages.

Higher numbers of ED visits were also noted on days of extreme cold and snow in January.

Use of generators, portable heaters, and charcoal grills were reported sources of multiple CO exposures.

Children aged 0 – 17 made up 33 percent of CPC calls and 28 percent of ED visits.

Even though carbon monoxide exposure may increase during the colder months, other activities, such as camping can increase your exposure year round. Fortunately, carbon monoxide exposure, resulting in illness or death is preventable with several steps: Install CO detector/alarm that meets the requirements of the current UL standard 2034 or the IAS 6-96 standard.

Make sure appliances are installed according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Never burn charcoal indoors.

Never use portable camping equipment indoors.

Never leave a car running in an attached garage.

Never use gas appliances, such as a stove, to heat your home.

Do not use gasoline-powered tools or generators indoors, or outdoors near doors and windows.

Do not operate un-vented fuel-burning appliances in rooms with closed doors and windows, or in rooms where people are sleeping.

For more information about carbon monoxide exposure prevention, contact your local Environmental Health Section at www.rockinghamcountypublichealth.org or NC Department of Health and Human Service, Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology at www.epi.publihealth.nc.gov/oee.

Understanding the Chikungunya Virus Chikungunya (pronounced: chik-en-gun-ye) is a viral disease transmitted to people by the Aedes mosquito species and NOT through person-to-person contact. The Aedes mosquitoes bite mostly during the daytime.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chikungunya virus outbreaks have occurred in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In late 2013, chikungunya virus was found for the first time in the Americas on islands in the Caribbean with a most recent case confirmed in Forsyth County, NC from a resident who recently visited the Caribbean.

Symptoms usually begin in 3-7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito and consist of fever and severe joint pain, often in the hands and feet. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. There are not antiviral medications to treat chikungunya, however, medication to reduce fever and pain is recommended.

Fortunately, you can take steps to prevent contracting the chikungunya virus by following these precautions: Reduce mosquito exposure Use air conditioning or window/door screens Use mosquito repellents on exposed skin Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants Wear permethrin-treated clothing Empty standing water from outdoor containers Keep grass mowed People at increased risk for severe disease should consider not traveling in areas with ongoing chikungunya outbreaks. People at increased risk for severe disease include newborns exposed during delivery, older adults (over 65 years of age), and people with medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease. Deaths are rare. If you are sick with Chikungunya, avoiding mosquito bites will help prevent further spread of the virus For more information about the chikungunya virus, visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/prevention/index.html.

A race highlight was the purple powder that participants received to paint the town purple. Moss Street GO FAR group is led by PE teacher, Mr. Carl Soyars. Soyars was awarded a grant for the Reidsville Area Foundation to promote healthy living that gave the students the opportunity to race in a 5K.

For the fun of it An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home."

"Why not?" asked somebody from the audience. "I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'" "Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked. "Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

Bethany Elementary Celebrates May Day

Rockingham County High School AFJROTC Students Skype with Iran On May 29, Rockingham County High School (RCHS) Air Force JROTC students Skyped with an English Language Learning class in Iran. The conversation centered around democracy and was the culmination of a semester-long collaboration. Students had previously discussed several topics via KidBlog. This is the fourth semester that students in Col Henry Gaither's AFJROTC Global Studies course have connected by Skype with students from the Iranian school. Other connections made by his students include schools in Bulgaria, Ecuador, and Arkansas.

For over 35 consecutive years, Bethany Elementary has observed the beginning of spring with a May Day celebration. This annual observance began in the 1930's and it has become a tradition that the community anticipates each spring.

A Lady and Knight are chosen to represent each classroom.

These participants form the May Court. A fifth grade boy and girl are voted to be the May Day King and Queen each year. The Lady in Waiting crowns the May Day Queen and the Lord crowns the May Day King. The court is made complete with the Herald, Scepter Bearers and Crown Bearers.

An elegant processional begins the special festivities as each member of the court is announced. Entertainment for the May Day Court is provided by each grade level. The 2014 theme was The Beginnings of Rock ‘n’ Roll (1950's & 1960's). Fifth grade concludes the entertainment with the dancing of the Traditional May Pole Dance.

The festivities end as the court exits to the music of Vivaldi’s Spring.

May Day marks the beginning of the Season of Spring on May 1st each year.

RCS Preschool Classes Visits Letterland

On May 8, the Reidsville High Early Childhood Center (RHS-ECC) and Wentworth E l e m e n t a r y Preschool classes visited Letterland at Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, NC. Letterland is a child-friendly phonics program which uses a multi-sensory approach combining phonics and storytelling. For the past 6 years, Tweetsie Railroad's Letterland Days have served as both a reward and celebration of North Carolina children's literary achievements. Preschool teachers, Nina Brown, RHS-ECC, and Darlene Moore, Wentworth, have collaborated throughout the year to make this event happen. As the children are learning who the characters are and what sounds each letter makes, the teachers and parents have worked diligently to organize and raise money for the trip. The preschool students were able to learn about all of the Letterland characters and their sounds at school. Then they were able to meet these characters and get their autographs during the visit.

It was a memorable moment for all of the families involved and the best way to bring the Letterland phonics program to life!

Stoneville Fireman Doug Aldridge and Alexis participate in the Fireman's Relay.

Perseverance was definitely a skill that Stoneville Elementary PE teacher Ken Dowdle and all of the Stoneville community learned through this year's field day. The event had to be postponed twice due to weather. In spite of the weather, the K-2nd Grade Field Day and 3rd - 5th Grade Field Day were finally held on Thursday, May 29, 2014, in a marathon of back to back sessions. The Stoneville Fire Department joined the fun this year as they sponsored the Fireman's Relay. In addition to this relay, staff members and parent volunteers led the students through various stations which featured basketball, baseball, soccer, jumping, running, balancing and flexibility skills.

Rockingham County Preschools geared up for the fifth annual Lisa Lawson Fargis TrikeA-Thon during the week of May 12 - May 16. The event taught preschool children riding toy safety while raising funds to replace tricycles in the preschool classrooms. The money raised by this preschool event will help purchase supplies for preschoolers in the schools.

Lisa Fargis was an educator with Rockingham County Schools for 29 years before her untimely and sudden death from cancer. Lisa was the coordinator of Rockingham County School’s Preschool Program for 13 years.

She was instrumental in developing a state model preschool program in the county. Lisa was well-loved and respected among the many agencies and families that she collaborated with to provide services for preschool children. Lisa’s sole mission in her personal and professional life was to help others. This fund helps continue Lisa’s legacy and honor her memory.

Prior to the event, the preschool students learned about bicycle and riding toy safety. The final celebration of this fundraising, safety awareness event was the Trike-A-Thon, held at Reidsville High School, Reidsville NC. Thank you to Reidsville High JROTC Instructors CWO4 Lynn Nesbit and 1st Sgt Curtis Bigelow, Bryce Jolly, Reidsville High School JROTC, RHS Art Teacher Jodi Chester and her art students, and RHS Physical Education Teacher Marc Tuttle and his healthy living students for their help with this year’s Trike-aThon.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall Building a Playground with Kaboom!

The City of Eden, Eden Chamber of Commerce, and Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust are building a playground! Your help is needed to prepare for this exciting day.

On Saturday, August 16, 2014, volunteers from The City of Eden, Eden Chamber of Commerce, and Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust will build a great new place for kids to play in ONE day. The project is in partnership with KaBOOM!, the national nonprofit dedicated to giving kids the childhood they deserve by bringing playgrounds to those who need it most. The project’s kick off meeting was held on June 24, 2014.

The new playground will bring Eden kids one step closer to having the childhood they deserve. The City of Eden has nine park areas with multi amenities, ranging from athletic fields, playgrounds, walking tracks, gymnasiums, etc. that helps keep

the children in the City very active, as well as a well-rounded parks and recreation program that allows children to participate in a wide variety of activities. The

new playground at the Morgan Road Park site will enhance this area and give the children in the area a new place to play and enjoy themselves.

This playground is the first of two in Rockingham County being built by KaBOOM! and the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust as part of Healthy Places NC, a long-term Trust initiative to improve the health of 10 to 15

low-income, rural North Carolina counties over the next decade.

The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust supports KaBOOM! in promoting and protecting a child’s right to active play at home, at school and in the community.

The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust was established in 1947 and is now one of the largest private trusts in North Carolina. Its mission is to improve the quality of life and quality of health for the financially needy of North Carolina. The Poor and Needy Division responds to basic life needs and invests in solutions that improve the quality of life and health for financially needy residents of Forsyth County. The Health Care Division promotes wellness statewide by investing in prevention and treatment. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. serves as sole trustee. www.kbr.org

There will be 16 teams participating in this tournament from across the state of North Carolina. More than 250 players and coaches, along with many parents and family members, will be in Eden during this tournament. They will be staying in local lodging and eating in local restaurants.

The City of Eden is very happy that North Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball chose Eden to host this year’s tournament and hope it will chose us for future tournaments.

This event would not be possible without the support of the City of Eden, Eden Tourism and Special Events, Rockingham Tourism Development Authority, local sponsors and all the volunteers who have offered their time to help host the tournament.

On behalf of the City of Eden, I would like to say a big thank you to all of these groups and individuals.

Let’s make this Dixie Youth Baseball AAA State Tournament an event the players, coaches, and families will remember for the rest of their lives.

For more information on this tournament, please call the Eden Parks and Recreation Department at 623-2110, option 3.

Coma A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there.

When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?" "What dear?" she asked gently, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. ”I think you're bad luck."

New Doctor A woman went to her doctor's office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming and ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?" The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard. "Cured her hiccups though, didn't it?"

A Profitable Harmonica Thanks for the harmonica you gave me for Christmas," Little Johnny said to his Grandfather. "It's the best Christmas present I ever got." "That's great," said his Grandfather, "do you know how to play it?" "Oh, I don't play it," Little Johnny said. "My mom gives me a dollar a day not to play it during the day and my dad gives me five dollars a week not to play it at night."

Humor: Professional Test

Finding a Job

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Scroll down for the answers after you have thought about it. The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator ?

Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.

This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions, correctly you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles.

How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

Bob Smith was sick of his job and was determined to find work elsewhere. But no matter how hard he tried, his reputation as someone who was not dedicated to the job, seemed to follow him around.

One day the phone rang at his office. Although Bob did not usually pick up the phone, he picked it up and said hello. “Hi” said the man on the line, “I have an unusual question to ask you, I’m looking into a fellow Bob Smith for a position in my company. Do you know this fellow?” “Sure I know him”, responded Bob with a smile. “Tell me,” asked the man.

“Is he consistent with his work?

Does he always show up on time?” “Well I’ll be honest with you” Bob truthfully replied, “I’m not so consistent myself, but whenever I’m here he’s here!”

Dishes One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?' Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

A Woman's Prayer: I pray for: Wisdom, To understand a man.

Love, To forgive him and; Patience, For his moods.

Because if I pray for Strength I'll just beat him to death.

Quarantine “I hate to have to tell you this”, said the Doctor in a sad compassionate voice, “but you have been unfortunately been diagnosed with a highly contagious disease, we will have to quarantine you and you’ll only be fed cheese and bologna.” “That’s terrible!” Said the distraught young man, quickly sitting down before he could faint. “I don’t know if I could handle being in quarantine…and the cheese and bologna diet…

What’s with the cheese and bologna diet anyway? I’ve never of such a diet before?!” “It’s not exactly a diet”, responded the Doctor matter of factly, “it’s just the only food that will fit under the door!”

For the Fun of it...

The Perks of Being Over 40...

1. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

2. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

3. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

4. People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

8. You can eat dinner at 4 P.M. 9. You can live without sex but not without glasses.

10. You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.

11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

12. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

13. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

14. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

15. You sing along with elevator music.

16. Your eyes won't get much worse.

17. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

18. You can't remember who sent you this list.

Caution An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home." "Why not?" asked somebody from the audience. "I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time.

One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'" "Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked. "Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

Job Interview Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of Texas A&M, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2 years -- say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?" And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

Out Of Control Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. The first thing he said was, "Don't."

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we have forbidden fruit!"

"No way!"

"Yes, way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God. "Why?" "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why he stopped creation after making the elephants.

A few minutes later, God saw his children having an apple break and he was ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God, as our first parent, asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve. "She started it!" Adam said.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!" Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.

Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed! But there is reassurance in this story. If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what made you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

Reidsville Attractions Reidsville is nestled in the heart of Rockingham County, known as North Carolina's "North Star." Reidsville is considered one of the County's "brightest points." For a small town and a rural county, there is always something to see, do or enjoy here. The area is rich in history, filled with historical homes such as the The Penn House and the Governor Reid House.

The addition of Market Square to the downtown landscape has brought a variety of cultural offerings to Reidsville.

The park, which includes an amphitheatre, not only hosts the Farmers Market but also is the site of musical concerts and events throughout the spring and summer. Market Square is fast becoming the "hub" of Reidsville.

The City provides many free events at the downtown park, along with paid concerts that run the gamut of musical interests.

Market Square is just one of many parks located throughout the City. A network of neighborhood parks and ballfields provide fun and relaxation to our residents and visitors.

Reidsville has been blessed with two water sources, picturesque Lake Reidsville and rustic Lake Hunt. Lake Reidsville offers camping, fishing and skiing to its patrons, along with a challenging Disc Golf course, Lake's Edge.

Lake Hunt allows its visitors to sample the advantages of a more rustic setting.

Recreation doesn't end there.

Reidsville is known for its strong athletic offerings at the newly renovated Jaycee Park as well as Lowe's and Booster ball fields.

Come enjoy a warm summer night watching a Pony League baseball game or an adult softball game. During the basketball season, games are played at the Parks & Recreation's gymnasium.

Football games can be found on the local school ballfields or at Jaycee Park.

Greenway trails provide an opportunity to enjoy nature while getting in some exercise. In addition to the greenways, there is a downtown walking route as well as a trail at Lake Reidsville. We encourage you to put on your tennis shoes and enjoy the sunshine!
