et. Living expenses can strap any budget and leave little room for extras.

Harris Pointe Apartments in Eden gives new meaning to affordable luxury living for seniors.

Quality amenities abound in this new community for seniors aged 55 and older.

“This is truly one of the most unique communities” said Sarah London, property manager. “You have to see it to believe it.”

Nestled next to the Meadow Greens golf course, Harris Pointe is designed for those with moderate incomes, and priced accordingly. Nothing was spared in this design though. While the apartments boast new appliances, carpet, ceiling fans and more, the community offers such luxury appointments as a community room, exercise room, beauty salon, computer room and kitchen.

“The best part of this community is our residents” continued Sarah London. “They get together to enjoy many activities”.

Harris Pointe is located at 345 E. Harris Street near numerous shopping centers and health

NOTES FROM FORREST BRAY...

The ROCKINGHAM

Rockingham County Commissioners’ Meeting Wentworth - May 26, 2009 Bill Holcomb, Assistant Superintendent for Rockingham

County Schools, requested money from the lottery fund to purchase land surrounding

Douglas School in Eden. The purchase would be five parcels at a cost of $139,452.

Ginger Waynick gave a presentation about the County having a web site available for taxpayers to keep up with what is going on in the County. Chatham County already has such a web site and Ginger visited them to check out the process. Software for Chatham’s site cost them

$39,000, with an additional $7,00 for design. She suggested that the proposal go to the RFP process and use local vendors where possible. Tom Robinson pointed out that this would be a good way to inform taxpayers, especially since local newspapers publish only twice a week. The Commissioner decidedto put the proposal on the “Think about it” list.

Rockingham County Commissioners’ Meeting Governmental Center- Wentworth, N.C. - June 8, 2009 - 6:30 p.m.

Debra Allen, Nurse Practitioner with the County Health Department, was recognized by the Commissioner as the 2009 Triad Nurse of Distinction. The award was presented to Mrs. Allen by Commissioner Flynt.

During the Public Comment period, the meeting really got interesting. A group of taxpayers were there to talk about taxes, but they were not allowed to discuss taxes since that was not on the agenda.

Discussion of taxes is on the agenda for the June 22 meeting and they will be allowed to present their opinions at that time. Thomas Harrington, Eden attorney, was allowed to address the Commissioners when he said he wanted to talk about something besides taxes. His comments were primarily about the lack of response from the Commissioners about his concerns.I know about the lack of response because it had happened to me. It seems when someone is running for a seat, they will talk with anyone and everyone. Yet once they are in office, they act as though they are told not to respond to citizens. It’s not hard to see why they can’t respond to every concern since they are on local committees, attend meetings in Guilford County and Raleigh, keep up with the Piedmont Triad Airport status, attend local events, and speak at local clubs. It almost seems like a public relation job, and the management and staff actually run the County.

Glenn Martin, Health Director, asked for approval to move a wall in the Health Department to make space to store records which must be kept for a long time. This will allow additional storage space and extend the outer waiting room.

Jay Stevens asked that the Library be allowed to charge a $5.00 fee for any out-of-county requests for genealogical research.

Under new business, Tom Wiggins discussed the need for amending the Unified Development Ordinance to incorporate minimum standards for paintball fields. A church in the county wants to operate a paintball field on church property as a fundraiser. The church’s request was tabled until regulations could be worked out.

The Lake Jordan Rules were discussed to bring the Commissioners up to date. House Bill 239 (Jordan Lake Rules) passed and is now in committee. This bill concerns storm water run-off from existing subdivisions and could be very expensive.

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life SENIOR DANCE EDEN -The Eden Parks & Recreation Department will host a Senior Dance on the last Monday of each month during the summer.

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life HOT DOG SALE FUNDRAISING BENEFIT The Hot Dog Sale Fundraising Benefit is Saturday, June 20th at 3 - 6 p.m.

This event will be held at Fairview Baptist Church, 6525 N.C. Highway 770, Stoneville N.C., 27048.

Two hot dogs, chips, drink and dessert is $5.00. One hot dog, chips, drink, and dessert is $4.25. There will be a cake walk, bake sale, silent auction, kid’s games, crafts, and more.

On April 13th, Linda Edwards underwent surgery to remove a mass in her uterus. The mass tested positive for uterine cancer. Linda was diagnosed with Lelomyosarcoma, a very rare type of cancer that is very aggressive and has a high rate of rectum. By the grace of God the surgeons were able to remove the mass and she is cancer free! Due to the nature of the type that she had, she is undergoing twelve weeks of preventative chemotherapy.

Linda is a self-employed local hairdresser and her insurance will not cover the vast majority of her medical bills and she has to work reduced hours due to her treatments. The ladies of her home church, Fairview, have organized this benefit on her behalf. Everyone in the community is welcome to stop by and celebrate her progress, wish her well, and fellowship with family and friends.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY LOCAL FOODS COALITION “If each North Carolinian spent 25 cents/ day on local food (just 2.5 percent of the $3600.00 that we spend on average on food consumption per year), it would mean $792 million for the state’s economy” Just think what this could mean for Rockingham County!

You are invited to the next meeting of the Rockingham County Local Food Coalition.

The purpose of this coalition is to promote the consumption of local foods - working for food security, better health, keeping dollars in the local economy while supporting sustainable agriculture.

Please join us on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. at the Ag Building for an exciting meeting that will include : • Report from Education Working Group about plans for Eden Sustainability Festival on August 8 and Mid Summer’s Night Green event in Madison.

• Report from Infrastructure Working Group about Foothill Fresh visit.

• Presentation by Rodney Wright about grant opportunities for conservation projects

HOLIDAY

FLOAT ON

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.

RIVER

Upon reaching the confluence with the Dan River, participants will encounter six historic structures from the batteau navigation system.

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.

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-dry-

F D Designs

ing) 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.

WATER SAFETY Contributed by the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department

When the weather turns warm, people often spend time in or around water. The beach, pools, farm ponds and rivers are popular sites for beating the heat.

As the weather temperature increases and summer vacations arrive, we see an increase in water recreation.

For people between the ages of 5 and 24, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

Most water-related accidents can be avoided by knowing how to stay safe and follow a few guidelines.

• BUDDY UP: Always swim with a partner. Even experienced swimmers can become tired or get muscle cramps.

• GET SKILLED: Learn to swim, CPR, and boating regulations.

• KNOW YOUR LIMITS: When you get tired or uneasy, take a break from swimming for a while.

• SWIM IN SAFE AREAS ONLY: Areas with lifeguards are preferred.

Always have permission of property owners, rather than trespassing.

Often open bodies of water have currents or other conditions of danger.

• BE CAREFUL ABOUT DIVING: Diving injuries can cause permanent spinal cord damage, paralysis, and in some cases even death. Observe posted “No Diving” areas.

• WATCH THE SUN: Sun

CLICK

FOR LIFE

reflecting off the water or off sand can intensify the burning rays. Apply/reapply sunscreen frequently.

• DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS: It’s easy to get dehydrated in the sun. Keep up with fluids, especially water, no alcohol.

• BOATING SAFETY: Alcohol and water still don’t mix. Alcohol distorts a person’s judgment no matter where they are, but it is increased on the water.

• PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES: Use Coast Guard approved flotation devices • STAY IN TOUCH: Let somebody on land know where you are going and how long you will be out. Take a radio and or cell phone.

• JET SKIS: Jet skis and personal watercraft follow the same rules as for boating.

• ALCOHOL AND WATER NEVER MIX: half of waterrelated deaths are related to alcohol. About 1/3 of deaths from boating accidents involve alcohol. Actually, and intoxicated person whose head is immersed can be confused and swim down to death instead of up to safety.

In depth information is available online. This information was gathered from some of the following sites and provided to encourage awareness for the need of summer water safety.

TICKET CITES 15,132

IT OR

CAMPAIGN

Gov. Perdue Announces that Law Enforcement Cited 15,132 Unbuckled People during ‘Click it or Ticket’ Campaign Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that more than 15,000 drivers and passengers were cited for not wearing their seat belt or having their child properly buckled during the “Click It or Ticket” campaign, which began May 18 and ended May 31.

"I thank law enforcement officers across the state who participated in this life saving campaign," said Perdue. “I urge North Carolinians who still choose to remain unbuckled to think twice and remember that a seat belt or proper child safety seat could save your life or the life of a loved one.”

The final statewide total for

the campaign includes 13,654 seat belt citations and 1,478 child passenger safety citations. State and local law enforcement officers issued the citations during more than 8,500 checkpoints and stepped-up patrols.

The N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program administers “Click It or Ticket.” The program began as a national pilot project in 1993 to increase seat belt usage and child passenger safety through stepped-up enforcement of the state’s seat belt and child safety seat laws.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reported that North Carolina’s 2008 seat belt usage rate was 89.8 percent, its highest rate ever. A NHTSA study published last year showed that when worn correctly, seat belts have proven to reduce the risk of a front seat passenger being killed in a crash by 45 percent.

In addition to cracking down on unrestrained drivers and passengers, officers across the state charged 2,220 motorists with driving while impaired. Officers issued a total of 6,309 criminal violations, including 1,597 drug charges, 95 stolen vehicles and 629 fugitives captured.

INJURED

DIVING

STONEVILLE - On June 8th at 7:30 p.m. Sgt. Tippett reported Zachary Alexander Routh, 18, of Edesel St. in Statesville, NC was at the river at Old Anglin Loop, Stoneville. Upon diving into shallow water he struck his head against a rock.

Routh suffered a laceration to his head and an injury consistent with spinal cord injuries.

The victim was air lifted to Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem. Nine other individuals were cited for second degree trespassing.

Sheriff Sam Page: “As the weather temperature increases and the school year ends, there will be an increase in water recreation. I caution everyone to practice water safety and recognize the negative effects of consuming alcohol during this recreational time. This incident is sad and I hope the public will learn from mistakes of others. I should also encourage everyone to only use the public access areas provided when visiting our rivers”

PROGRAM

FOR ELDERLY SAFETY REIDSVILLE - The City of Reidsville’s new program which checks up on the elderly, homebound and latchkey youth through a daily telephone call appears to be one of the City’s best-kept secrets.

A lot of applications for the program are going out of his office, but many citizens don’t realize that this is a free service provided to the public, explains Capt. Ronnie Ellison, who oversees the project.

A joint project of the Reidsville Police and Fire Departments, the Call Reassurance Program, also known as “CARE,” is an automated computer-generated service calls residents to ensure they are okay. It can be set up to call on a daily basis, several times a day or at different times throughout the week.

Funded by the Annie Penn Community Trust, the program cost less than $12,000 to institute. Due to this generosity, citizens living inside the Reidsville city limits only have to apply for the program at no cost to them.

The Pro Care system is designed to re-dial the same number several times looking for a response. If none is received, a message can be sent to a listed family member. If no family member can be located, a police officer or a firefighter will be dispatched to check on the individual. If a person does answer, the system will allow them to use a touch phone response acknowledging that they’re okay.

Those who have taken advantage of the program are very pleased with the results, according to Capt. Ellison. “This program has so many advantages for our citizens. First, it can give family members peace of mind that their loved ones are being checked on regularly, especially for those who can’t do it themselves. Secondly, and most importantly, it can save lives,” he said.

Questionnaires are available at the Police Department, 220 W.

Morehead Street, and online at www.ci.reidsville.nc.us on the Police Services page. The applications must be completed and approved before citizens can make use of the system.

For more information, contact Captain Ronnie Ellison at the Reidsville Police Department, 336-347-2312.

He spoke on the theme of the military ball, which was "Making A Difference" and told the 200+ present that they were already making a difference by being involved in community service and service learning projects.

Pride" Battalion has been involved with tutoring at Central Elementary School, mentoring at the YMCA, collecting coats and canned food for community organizations, Color Guards for local events and participation in local parades.

Awards and gifts were presented to the 24 seniors who would be graduation in less that two weeks. For the first time ever in Morehead High School's history, three Army JROTC Cadets will be attending the colleges of their choice at the expense of the U.S. Army. Chelsea Dix-Major Anthropology, Appalachian State University, Tiffany MundyMajor Nursing, East Carolina University and Chris EdwardsMajor Engineering, North Carolina A & T. All three cadets have signed letters of intent to attend their respected schools in the Fall 2009 semesters.

Dubay challenged the cadets to continue to strive and realize the tough choices they make, do make a difference as they move into their adult lives. The Military Ball closed with Sheriff Paige presenting a video of support for today's military by him making a jump with the Golden Knights out of Ft. Bragg, NC. The American Legion Post #534 Commander C.D. Grant closed the ball with a challenge for everyone to get involved with what our young people are doing.

He officially said that the American Legion Post #534 would be working with the JROTC Program for years to come and wanted to assist in any means necessary to help the cadets be successful.

Senior Army Instructor First Sergeant (Retired) David Bray said it's been a long, hard bumpy road over the past four years to get the program where it is today, but this year will definitely be hard to top with the many successes our cadets have achieved.

laid-off rural workers start their own small businesses. It is available in Rockingham County and the citizens have been responding.

“We are getting a lot of calls,” said Rockingham Community College Small Business Center Director, Cathy Wheeler. “Many individuals who have never considered owning their own business are now looking at it as an option.”

GATE is not a grant program. It is a scholarship program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. From those funds, up to 750 scholarships will likely to be awarded in North Carolina.

Wheeler estimates calls to her office have increased 25 percent since the GATE program was announced. Many of the callers were unaware that a Small Business Center existed in Rockingham County. Of those, some are pursuing a GATE scholarship, while others are looking into existing programs offered at RCC. As it has since its inception, the center is serving as a portal of entry into other programs on campus for those individuals who decide not to pursue a business of their own,” said Wheeler. “This includes those seeking information about GATE.” Eight NC community colleges, including RCC, were selected as primary GATE sites.

GATE scholarship applicants must be dislocated workers – those who lost their job through no fault of their own due to a business closing or layoff – and be eligible for the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program.

GOING SOLAR

AT

RCC

RCC - On the northwest side of a 1,000 square foot home built on the Rockingham Community College campus, RCC’s electrical/electronic technology students are erecting and installing 17 photovoltaic panels in a prepared field. During the day, the panels will absorb the sun’s rays and convert them into energy – enough to meet the needs inside the house.

The back of the house faces south and receives the most sunlight. There, heating and air conditioningstudents

County Star THE TROOPS Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life have installed a panel for solar hot water.

Built by former RCC students, the house is a short walk from the college’s two Industrial Technologies buildings. The interior is a shell with exposed circuitry used for training purposes. The photovoltaic panels and solar hot water system, however, are completely new: the program’s first foray into solar energy.

Instructors Keith Elliott and Will Soyars have been working toward this moment for several years by taking classes on solar systems at North Carolina State University. Elliott then helped put solar panels at a Park and Ride station in Raleigh and Soyars installed panels on the NCSU campus.

“The process of wiring solar is basically the same as non-solar,” said Elliott. “The difference is in monitoring its productivity.”

Solar energy components have been added to four electrical/electronic classes – two in basic wiring, one in DC/AC electricity, and one in process controls with programmable logic controllers (PLC’s). The panels installed this year will be used as teaching tools in future classes. Students will study their wiring, maintenance needs, and integration. They will learn how to monitor the systems to determine their efficiency. And through a small wind turbine recently installed adjacent to the Industrial Technologies Building, students will receive an introduction to wind power systems.

Two other campus programs are also using or teaching facets of solar energy. Brad Overby, horticulture technology instructor, will be installing a solar heating system in a campus greenhouse and Keith Sigmon, instructor for air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration technology, has integrated solar hot water training into his program.

Elliott and Soyars want to continue what they have begun by installing solar systems to all campus buildings. To do so, they need grant funding.

According to Elliott, an 80 gallon solar hot water system cost about $3,000. Photovoltaic panels cost approximately $800 each. Once installed, though, they are guaranteed to last for 20-25 years, allowing students to get hands-on experience in this new solar world.

Anonymous As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'

Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference.

While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed One of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and Cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line ever yday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our Service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'

The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her.

The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second.

Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it..

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met an d gave her a kiss on the cheek.

He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.'

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.

As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate,

GRANNY’S VARIETY & ANTIQUES FURNITURE - NEW, USED & ANTIQUE

people resumed their applause.

As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own.

That young soldier in one last act of selflessness turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing red every Friday.

The reason? Am ericans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing... We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with di gnity and respect starts this Friday - and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every redblooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear Something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers. Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every

The first Paws-N-Claws 5K and Fun Walk was held at Freedom Park in Eden, NC on May 30, 2009. Participants ranging in ages 4 to 76 came out to run and walk for the homeless animals in Rockingham County.

There were 106 total participants as well as numerous volunteers and spectators. The event began at 9:00 am and was followed by age group awards and door prizes for participants. Over $6,000 was raised to benefit the Rockingham County Humane Society that will be used to provide care for the animals during their stay at the Humane Society and much needed updates to the facility.

At 8:50 the runners began lining up, eagerly stretching and ready to run for the cause. The course began inside Freedom Park and followed Edgewood Drive to the turn-around point in front of Duke Energy. Walkers lined up behind the runners to complete three laps around the track inside of Freedom Park.

Runners traveled from Kernersville, Ridgeway, Martinsville, and Danville to take part in the race. Also, a group of local 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders from Eden’s Leaksville-Spray Elementary who take part in a group called "Girls on the Run" participated in the 5K. Amanda Rorrer, director for the event said, "I was so proud to see those young girls taking part in our race. Those girls know they are running to help animals and they ran their little hearts out.

'Girls on the Run' is such a great opportunity for those girls to learn leadership skills, develop friendships, build self-esteem, and work on physical fitness.

Their parents and the adults who work with them should be very proud." James Dillon finished first overall in the 5K with a time of 19:28. Kathy Durham finished first overall female with a time of 25.06. For a complete list of the results, please visit www.pawsnclaws5k.com.

Sponsors for the event included the "Trogdon Trotters", L. Berkley, Inc., Shirley Liner, Larry Surber, Michael Burleson Dentistry, Dayspring Family Medicine, Tri-City Chevrolet, Perennial Landscaping, Morehead Memorial Hospital, Eden Drug, W. Lee Turner, O.D., Capelli Salon in Eden, and Southern Screen Printing and Graphics. Numerous businesses in Rockingham County donated door prizes for participants as well. Refreshments were provided by several Food Lion stores in Rockingham County. A special

thank you goes out to Sam Shelton and the Eden Police Department, Johnny Farmer with the City of Eden Parks and Recreation, and the Rescue Squad volunteers who helped to ensure the safety of all participants.

Other activities at the event included the sale of raffle tickets for a pet themed quilt made by Two Rivers Quilt Guild, jewelry from Arthur's Jewelry in Reidsville, a nine piece Craftsman wrench set from Sears in Reidsville, and a Yankee Candle gift basket. The quilt will be on display at Elaine's Antiques on Washington Street in Eden until the raffle during the festivities at Eden's Riverfest in September. To purchase raffle tickets contact Amanda Rorrer at 336-623-2017 or by email: pawsnclaws5k@yahoo.com.

Volunteer Jean Ann Wood also created a display board with the pictures and names of the adoptable pets at the Humane Society.

Wood said, "We wanted to let our participants see the faces of the animals they are helping. We also hoped this would help us find loving homes for these animals."

The Humane Society is a 501C(3) organization established in 1975. They are non-profit and non-government funded. The Rockingham County Humane Society is run solely the dedicated volunteers of the community and depends on donations from the public to continue operations.

Their mission is to help as many homeless animals as possible find loving homes. They are not affiliated with the County Animal Shelter in Reidsville, NC. The Rockingham County Humane Society is the only privately run animal shelter in our county. Since it is completely funded on donations volunteers must hold fundraisers like the Paws-n-Claws 5K and Fun Walk to buy food pay for veterinary care, and operate the shelter's facility.

Rockingham County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter which means that no animals are euthanized. In 2008 the shelter placed about 400 animals in adoptive homes that would have otherwise been euthanized. In 2008, 3,500 pets in the community were spayed and neutered through the monthly low-cost spay/neuter clinic.

QUILTING BEES Jean Ann Wood

The love of quilting brought together a group of friends in September 2008 and a quilting guild was born.

The group calls themselves the M&M Quilting Bees to honor the Madison-Mayodan Recreation Center that graciously hosts the group.

Meeting twice a month, the guild gathers to share tips and techniques with each other.

Often members demonstrate techniques such as appliqué, applying binding, making labels or hand quilting.

Together they assist each other with personal quilting projects like pinning quilts and troubleshooting sewing problems.

There is never a dull moment when the quilting bees are together as they offer support beyond quilting and remember needs and prayer requests from friends and family.

Early in 2009 the guild decided to act on an idea that member Glenn McKinnon brought to the group. McKinnon suggested that the guild reach the community with their talent by making a quilt

GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITY

to benefit a local non-profit organization.

The group buzzed with

excitement for this idea of sharing their love of quilting with others.

Over the late winter months, each guild member made two to three quilt squares to submit to the project. The group met to piece together the squares using a canary yellow fabric to bridge the individual color and pattern selections of the different squares.

Once the top panel was complete, the project moved to local, professional quilter and friend, Faye Carter, who lovingly machine stitched the project.

The finishing touches of binding and labeling completed

the quilt and the group was ready to present its work to the local organization it had selected to

honor, Camp Carefree.

Ann Jones, Executive Director of Camp Carefree, accepted the quilt at the June meeting of the M&M Quilting Bees. Jones intends to raffle the quilt to raise funds for the camp located in SW Rockingham

County. Camp Carefree is dedicated to providing real camping experiences for children with specific health problems and disabilities and relies on community support for funding.

The guild plans to make another group quilt in the fall.

The M&M Quilting Bees take summers off, but will gather again on September 21 to resume guild meetings. They welcome quilters of any age or skill level to join them on the first and third Mondays at 9:30 am at the M&M Recreation Center in western Rockingham County.

For additional information on the guild, contact Glenda Foulks at 336-427-0673.

WGSR GOES DIGITAL At 11:00am on June 12th, WGSR (better known as Star News) in Reidsville, operating in the northern Piedmont and southside Virginia areas since 1987, joined other television stations across the country in making the switch from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting.

The station, with studios located in downtown Reidsville, switched from analog channel 39 to digital channel 47.1. The switch took place at the station’s new transmitter and antenna site on Friendship Church Road south of the city.

Azile Roark, the president of the Star News Corporation and the owner of WGSR 47.1 said,

show what makes the Star News region so unique.”

Roark adds, “No other broadcast stations in this area have as much viewer input as our station allows. Whether its live viewer calls on the air about the news of the day or our extended coverage of local area events, Star News is the station that allows our viewers to become involved in what’s happening.”

Star News carries programming 24 hours a day. In addition to local area news, including breaking news, Star News carries its own locally produced programs. The station is one of few that allows call-in segments, where viewers can comment on

“We are truly excited that our station is making the transition from analog to digital broadcasting, but we’re more excited that our station will find a new audience with our expanded signal coverage. Star News will be the Triad area’s newest television station.

Let me assure you that we will not abandon the viewers who have been faithful to us over the years. Instead, we hope they will share our excitement as we will take our interesting brand of programming into new territory, and

news and topics of the day. Other locally produced shows include Monday Night Live (a comedy/variety/quiz show), The Buzz (local area topics and gossip), Medicine On Time (call-in show with local pharmacists), Star Date (talk show on local events), DCC Today (current events at Danville Community College), Ask The Sheriff (call-in show with Rockingham County Sheriff, Sam Page), and Talk Back (local area interest show).

The station also broadcasts local antique car cruise-in events, Christmas parades (over ten different regional communities), festivals and more.

The company has plans to expand its local coverage in the new viewing area including Guilford, Alamance and Forsyth counties. Star News has studios in Reidsville, Martinsville and Danville. Future plans include studios in the Greensboro area.

The ROCKINGHAM

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued allowed each organization to receive a grant and allow the TDA to stay within budget.

“Times are tough for everybody right now and we wanted to be able to assist each organization rather than decline some requests all together,” said Robin Yount, vice president of Tourism. “We had to stay within budget so we decided to fund a certain percentage across the board to be fair. We felt it was important for these organizations to receive a portion of their grant requests because many have lost funding from other sources this year.”

The only stipulation that comes with the grants is that the money must be used to market local events outside the county in order to attract out-of-town visitors.

The 2009-2010 Marketing and Promotional Grants are awarded to: • City of Eden Dixie Youth Baseball Tournament at Freedom Park • City of Eden’s 8th Annual Piedmont Pottery Festival • Eden YMCA Swimming Meets • Eden YMCA Tennis Tournaments • City of Reidsville for Lake Reidsville • Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission for the Dan River Boat Race • Morehead High School Wrestling Boosters for four tournaments • Olde Leaksville Shopping District for 2009 Eden Riverfest • Piedmont Folk Legacies for 15th Charlie Poole Music Festival • City of Reidsville for Dixie Youth Baseball Tournament • Reidsville Downtown Corporation for Reidsville Downtown Fall Festival • Reidsville Downtown Corporation for Tour of Reidsville Bike Race • Stars and Promises Concert • City of Reidsville for The Penn House

On July 4th at 11am there will be a local evant behind the Eden Mall near the go-carts in a specially marked area. The event will go until duck and everyone is welcome to bring their own planes. This free event is sponsored by Brian and Donna Moore of Eden who have been involved in the flying for years, Brian since childhood.

If you plan to stay a while, bring your lawn chairs or something to sit on and we can also assit any child in lfying of our our model planes that is interested.

The Control Line Flight (CL for short) offers a unique and challenging competion opportunity and it’s just plain (plane) fun.

CL models are flown in a circle and controlled by the pilot in the center. Two thin wires are connected to the model.

This form of fun was introduced in the late 1930’s and has since developed into a high level competion sport. The contest categories in competition include speed (Top speeds are above 300 km/h (190 mph, 311 km/h was the winning speed in the 1996 World Championship, on short lines), Aerobatics (This is precision flying with big, beautiful models), team racing and the always popular combat (This is man to man dogfight in a control line version) where two pilots fly models that have strings with paper streamers attached to the tail. The object is to cut the opponent's streamer with your propeller, and to stay airborne..

World and Continental Championships are held simiannaully throughout the countries of the world.

Farmers market stalls teeming with locally grown fruits and vegetables are attracting more customers in search of nutritious, high quality fruit. Many shoppers at farmers markets are looking for ways to prepare and preserve what they buy at market and a new resource from the N.C. State University Program for ValueAdded & Alternative Agriculture at the new N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis offers help.

"The Produce Lady" video series tells farmers and consumers the wonders of locally grown fruits and vegetables - the nutrition they provide, the delicious meals or snacks families can enjoy with each vegetable or fruit and how to prepare them as tasty meals and snacks or freeze them to use throughout the year.

The Produce Lady is the moniker for Brenda Bryan Sutton, the new director for Cooperative Extension in Rockingham County. She served as Extension family and consumer sciences agent until recently. Sutton grew up on a family farm in Wake County and knows all about gardening and food preparation, storage and preservation. As a family and consumer sciences agent she taught these skills to others. She works closely with her local farmers markets and she currently raises Shiitake mushrooms and blueberries to sell at market, which gives her first-hand experience in what farmers market vendors experience.

"Local farmers and their contributions to our communities are so important," Sutton said.

"I'm delighted to have a chance to help provide helpful tips so people can enjoy the wonderful local foods we're so fortunate to have in North Carolina."

Sutton teamed up with Leah Chester-Davis, coordinator of communications and community outreach for the N.C. State University Program for ValueAdded & Alternative Agriculture, who produces the videos. The two work with N.C. State videographer Ken Ellzey. ChesterDavis visited numerous farmers markets last year. More than once, when she asked a farmer

BRINGS FRESHNESS

for a good way to prepare his or her produce, the farmer responded, "I don't know, I just grow it."

"Many farmers have wonderful suggestions for how to prepare their products, but I realized that many of them could use help in providing information to their customers to keep their customers coming back," ChesterDavis said. "We're working to make this a helpful resource to both farmers and consumers."

Funded with a grant from the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, The Produce Lady video series features Sutton, who focuses on a different vegetable or fruit in each video. Sutton explains the nutritional value, when to expect the item at the farmers market, what to look for and how to prepare, store and preserve the item. She always reminds viewers to wash their hands before handling produce and when and how to clean fruits and vegetables. She incorporates fresh produce safety guidelines in all the videos.

The Produce Lady videos can be viewed at (dot)theproducelady.org. Currently, the site contains videos on blueberries, cabbage, cantaloupe, corn, eggplant, green beans, greens, okra, peppers, Southern peas, squash and strawberries. More videos are in development and will feature North Carolina goat cheese, grass-fed beef and seafood, all items that pair well with produce.

The Web site also has helpful, healthy recipes for preparing

CAREER

fruits and vegetables. The site provides news columns that Cooperative Extension agents may localize and provide to their local papers.

This spring, The Produce Lady debuted on Almanac Gardener on UNC-TV across the state. She also found her place in the blogosphere. Twice each month at theproducelady.wordpress.com, Sutton offers timely, no-nonsense tips you can use in the kitchen. Her videos are also being posted to YouTube to reach a wider audience. Find them at (dot)youtube(dot)com/theproducelady.

"The campaign has really taken off," said Chester-Davis.

"Brenda has been invited to appear at several markets and other events across the state. " Among some of the upcoming appearances are: • June 5, 2009, 4 to 7 p.m. - Eden Farmers Market, Municipal Parking Lot on Henry Street, Eden • June 20, 2009, 8 a.m. to Noon Davidson Farmers Market in the town of Davidson • July 16, 2009, 4 to 7 p.m. - N.C.

DAY MADE

EXTRA EXCITING WENTWORTH - Sheriff Sam Page joined others to greet students at Rockingham County Middle School on their “career day”. The school, located at 182 High School Road, had several stations displaying a variety of career opportunities.

Sheriff Page invited Major Pickett, an Army National Guard pilot just returning 60 days ago from Iraq, to speak with the students about the opportunities he has to work with law enforcement. He landed a helicopter on the athletic field to the rear of the school, spoke with students, and then returned to Raleigh.

In addition, Sgt. John Deane displayed the Sheriff’s Office Hummer (from military surplus) and many of the tools used by the Special Response Team.

Sheriff Page expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to educate students to future opportunities in law enforcement, while emphasizing the importance of making good deci-

sions now. He also expressed the importance of staying in school.

H1N1

HITS

WENTWORTH - – The Rockingham County Department of Public Health received notification on Tuesday evening, June 2nd, that a county resident tested positive for Novel H1N1 flu.

The patient has begun antiviral drug treatment and in-house isolation until at least 24 hours after the resolution of symptoms.

According to Rockingham County Health Director Glenn Martin, “We have known that the Novel H1N1 flu has been present in our State since early May.” There have been several confirmed cases of H1N1 flu had been reported in North Carolina.

The counties reporting cases included Alamance, Brunswick, Buncombe, Carteret, Craven, Durham, Guilford, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Rutherford, and Wake.

The symptoms of the H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with the virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.

It is thought that the Novel H1N1 flu spreads the same way that regular seasonal flu viruses spread, mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus.

Market goers must stop by Charles and Emily Shields booth to try their delicious nut butters: peanut butter, spicy Asian sauce, sweet cashew spread, cashew cheese and cashew “nutella”.

“We are so pleased to have assembled such a wonderful, top notch group of vendors for our market. Each and every one of them offers high quality products and are more than willing to talk with the consumer,” stated Cindy Adams, City of Eden Coordinator of Tourism & Special Events.

COUNTY Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

While there is no vaccine currently available to protect against the H1N1 virus; proper hand, respiratory, and cough hygiene can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like flu. People should feel reassured that if they follow certain basic steps they can greatly diminish the risk of contracting respiratory illness.

These basic steps include: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

• If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

• Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

• Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be

• Communicable Disease Nurse, Billie Whitener, R.N., stresses the importance of persons with flu-like symptoms to stay home and avoid contact with other people when sick. “Staying at home means that you should not leave your home except to seek medical care,” according to Whitener. This means avoiding normal activities including work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings. It is recommended that if you have severe illness or you are at high risk for flu complications, that you contact your health care provider or seek medical care.

Your health care provider can determine whether flu testing or treatment is needed.

For The Fun Of It In The 1500's The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: These are interesting...

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs. There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over thetop afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor.. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold. (Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.

They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold ov ernight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old...

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat..

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days.

Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake..

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wristof the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,saved by the bell, or was considered a dead ringer.

And that's the truth....Now, whoever said History was boring ! !

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop!

Acts 2:38!' (Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.'

'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'

Knowing scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!

MISSISSIPPI

AND

The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, 'Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!'

Bubba replied, 'Did you see who it was?'

The young man answered, 'I couldn't tell, but I got his license number.'

FIGHT STARTED

PLAYING CHURCH Johnny's Mother looked out the window and noticed Him "playing church" with their cat.

He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it.

She smiled and went about her work. A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back to the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water.

She called out, "Johnny, stop that! the cat is afraid of water!"

Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church."

THATS HOW THE

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?' It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. 'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.

So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?' And that's how the fight started....

WANNA

GO TO HEAVEN?

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he meets, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' The man said, 'I do, Father.' The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.'

Then the priest asked the second man, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' 'Certainly, Father,' the man replied. 'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.' The priest said, 'I don't believe this.

You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?' O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.'

THE PERFECT DRESS Jane's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement -- not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed motherof-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jane was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the same exact dress as her mother! Jane asked her step-mother to exchange the dress, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it!"

Jane went back and told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind, sweetheart. I'll get another dress to wear to your wedding. After all, it's your special day."

A few days later, Jane and her Mom went shopping a nd found another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jane asked her Mom, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you can wear it." Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, sweetheart. I'm going to wear it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding."

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOY THIS STORY? SEND IT TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW!!

YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SOUTH TENNESSEE The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said , 'You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?'

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.'

NORTH CAROLINA A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.

Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, 'I have a flat tire.'

The passerby asked, 'But what's with the flowers?'

The man responded, 'When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make no sense to me neither.'

TEXAS The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head". "Yep", he replied. "That's why I dumpin it here, cause it says 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'.

GEORGIA A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I- 75. The trooper asked, 'Got any I. D.?'

The driver replied, 'Bout whut?'

KENTUCKY 'You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone wanting to retire to the North.

ALABAMA A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. 'Where's Henry?' the others asked.

'Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,' the successful hunter replied.

'You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?' they inquired.

'A tough call,' nodded the hunter. 'But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!'

LOUISIANA A senior at LSU was overheard saying... 'When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana.'

When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.

PROVES HE’S OUTSTANDING

RCC - Overcoming loss is a private process, not something for print. But it is embedded here because it is part of the remarkable story of Rockingham Community College’s 2009 Outstanding Student, Todd Stegall. In July, Stegall will graduate with an associate degree in general occupational technology. In 2006 he graduated with a diploma in heating, air conditioning and refrigeration, residential (HVAC/R). Throughout his four years at RCC, Stegall maintained a 4.0 grade point average, the highest possible. He achieved it all despite the fact that his wife, Erica, to whom he was devoted, died unexpectedly in 2005.

In a way, college saved Stegall.

It gave him something to focus on besides his overwhelming loss. But it did more. It gave him a new life. “I was a machine operator in a textile plant, making decent wages, doing all right,” said Stegall. “Even though my family tried to get me to go to college, I thought, ‘I’m doing okay, there’s no need.’”

But the textile industry tanked and Stegall needed a way to earn a living. “I don’t know

why I decided to try heating and air,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about it. I thought I’d give it a year and if I didn’t like it, I’d do something else.”

He was scared, of course. It had been a while since high school but he fell into a routine: full-time work during the day, classes at night, sleep a little and study every free minute.

Through it all, he made a discovery.

“I’m good at H V A C Stegall work. I’m better at it than at what I used to do. Losing my job was rough, but looking back, I’m glad it happened. I’m happier.”

Stegall credits his instructors and his family – especially his mother and daughter – for his academic success. After graduating with the diploma in 2006, he was hired as a repair technician

by Preventive Maintenance Services of America. Within a year, he was a lead technician.

“My education really paid

off. It changed me. It changed my whole life. It not only opened doors, it taught me I can open doors myself.”

While at RCC, Stegall was inducted into the international society Phi Theta Kappa, helped install HVAC systems for Habitat for Humanity houses, taught HVAC Sheet Metal Layout and Design, and was a two-time recipient of the Miller Train and Gain Scholarship.

Keith Sigmon, HVAC/R instructor, said, “He is an exemplary student who has proven himself to be a leader. He leaves RCC with the skills and confidence to be successful for a lifetime.”

Stegall is humbled by his award. “Without the faculty and staff at RCC, this wouldn’t have been possible. It’s an honor to be recognized for the effort I put into my education. If you strive and work hard, you can accomplish so much. I’m proud; my family is ecstatic. I just wish Erica could be here. She would have been so happy.”

POTTERY FESTIVAL BRINGS HUNDREDS EDEN -The 7th Annual Piedmont Pottery Festival held at the former Kingsway Plaza in Eden on Saturday, June 6th was a great success. From the time the doors opened until the end of the show, a constant stream of pottery enthusiasts explored the creative work of the participating artisans. Estimates are that more than 1,000 attendees came this year. Most of the potters reported good sales, despite the state of the local and national economy.

As always, the festival included constant door prize drawings, a raffle for a special vase created

by Rockingham potter Noah Carlton, pottery demonstrations and live music.

“The Piedmont Pottery Festival has quickly become one of the best shows in the state, and for good reason; the talent that gathers for this festival is absolutely remarkable,” stated Cindy Adams, Coordinator of Special Events and Tourism for

the City of Eden and the primary coordinator of this year’s event.

“We were thrilled to see people from all over the county and the region gather to see the works of some of the finest potters in North Carolina and Southern Virginia. Visitors from as far as Raleigh, Charlotte and Roanoke, VA joined us to admire these works of art, talk with the creators and take home pottery that will be treasured for years to come.”

“I saw more bags of pottery leaving the front door of the festival than I have in many years,” remarked Mike Dougherty, Director of Economic Development for the City of Eden. “Some potters said it was their best festival.”

More than 40 potters from across the state and southern Virginia were part of the 2009 event. For more information on all Eden special events and tourism initiatives, visit www.exploreedennc.com or the ExploreEdenNC Facebook page.

CASCADE “ELECTS” HONARARY MAYOR Cascade Community Volunteer Fire Dept. raises over $7,500.00 with the Honorary Mayor Race.

Have you ever had an event where there were three men, running for one position, and all three were rooting for the other two to win? Well, we had such an event in Cascade, Va. Saturday, June 6, 2009.

Cascade Community Volunteer Fire Dept. sponsored a fund raiser in which there were three men who were chosen to run for The Honorary Mayor of Cascade.

This all began back in January when names were submitted for the candidates, and the three who had been requested the most were in the running for Mayor of Cascade. The winner would be, WHOEVER raised the Most Votes at $1.00 Per Vote.

The three running, Oliver Robertson, Billy Wilson and Joe Weddle, were all present at the Luncheon that was held at the Community Center in Cascade, with more than 100 people in attendance. There were those who were asking for, a stop light in the downtown area, A Grocery Store, A Bank, an Air Port, even a Wall Mart- for Cascade, these guys were agreeing to most of their wishes, and promising nothing, if they would just dish up the dollars and Votes.

After lunch was served campaign manager for each candidate took the votes to be counted.

When all the votes were in,

Oliver Robertson was the top money raiser for this event.

He was presented with a Plaque stating: FIRST HONORARY MAYOR OF CASCADE, VA 2009-2010.

A Limousine was ready for the ride through the Community, provided by: Boone-Reynolds Funeral Services of Eden, North Carolina, and the chauffer was none other than, Daniel Boone, himself.

We would like to thank Mr. Boone for his support and services to our Fire Department and Community.

This was such a fun, event with money coming from friends and family from all parts of the country, from as far away as Florida, West Virginia, Colorado, North and South Carolina, we would like thank everyone who helped make this a success.

When you see the “Honorary Mayor” - Robertson, congratulate him on his win, he will hold this Post until June of 2010.

Oliver and his Wife Eleanor have been married for 57 years, are lifetime Residents of Cascade, and they have always been great supporters in their community.

Hats are off to Mayor Robertson, Congratulations!

Next Year, we’ll see who will try to UN Seat the Mayor.

We will start taking names for the new candidates in January, 2010.

MERITORIOS SERVICE AWARDS GIVEN AT RCC RCC Rockingham Community College students Adam Cardwell of Walnut Cove and Joseph Somers of Ruffin were selected as recipients of the college’s 2009 Meritorious Service awards.

In announcing the recipients, RCC President, Dr. Robert Keys, said, “These awards recognize those who have made significant contributions to the life and well-being of the college community.”

As president of the Student Government Association on campus, Cardwell went “above and beyond.” Among the many activities he promoted and worked in, Cardwell increased the level of participation in the SGA, implemented the first formal induction ceremony for officers, started an SGA page on the RCC web site, participated in leadership training, and volunteered time for RCC Foundation events, homecoming activities and campus sporting events.

“Under Cardwell’s leadership,” said Keys, “the RCC SGA has extended its presence within the state community college system SGA, having won awards in several categories at the recent spring state SGA conference.”

Cardwell chose RCC over a track scholarship to attend a fouryear university. That choice led

to his role as SGA president, which gave him the opportunity to serve as student trustee on the RCC Board of Trustees.

“My involvement at RCC has helped develop leadership skills,” said Cardwell. “I’m more outgoing and have more confidence in myself. My family is proud.”

A paint contractor who had not been in school since 1985, he decided to take the placement test just to see how he would do. He did all right and decided to take a course. He made a “C.” His sister encouraged him to take two more courses and learn what it takes to study and make better grades. He did. As a result, he became a full time student who is on the college’s dean’s list for academics.

Because of his grades, Somers was inducted into Sigma Kappa Delta, an English honor society, in which he served as president, and then into Phi Theta Kappa, an international honor society, in which he served as vice president of leadership. In addition, he worked in the college AT3 lab as a tutor.

“Those who know Joseph understand he is a ‘go-getter,’ not comfortable simply to sit and do nothing,” said Keys.

Somers said he was shocked to get the award.

Both Cardwell and Somers are college transfer students.

Cardwell plans to major in business administration at Appalachian State University and Somers will pursue a degree in psychology at UNCG.
