Town of Mayodan and Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) announces the opening of the first public mountain bike trail in western Rockingham County. A ribbon cutting and celebration will be held for the Mayodan Mountain Bike Trail at Farris Memorial Park on Saturday, May 21.

Along with the ribbon cutting, there were free Tshirts for the first 50 participants, refreshments and free mountain bike rentals all day to celebrate the new trail. Funding for the trail, which includes a new bike barn and trailhead kiosks, came from the Town of Mayodan, Reidsville Area Foundation, REI, Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, and The NC Rural Center.

Other support came from Blue Ridge Trail Works, Dan River Basin Association (DRBA), and Duke Energy.

The trail was recently

named a 2017 race venue for the NC League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. That event is expected to bring more than 600 riding enthusiasts from all over North Carolina to Mayodan in May 2017 for a weekend long youth event. "We are very excited to officially open the Mountain Bike Trail," says Michael Brandt, Mayodan Town Manager "the opportunity to offer a new recreational activity for the community, including introducing students to a fun, life-long sport, and showcase Mayodan to the state is great for the area."

A trail at Farris Memorial Park was identified as a priority project in the Pathways Plan for Recreational Trails completed by Piedmont Trail Regional Council, Rockingham County

Charlie Poole Festival to Feature the African Origins of the Banjo

The African origins of the banjo will be one of the prominent themes during the exciting Friday night concert at this year’s Charlie Poole Music Festival, to be held June 10-11 in Eden, North Carolina. Mali, West Africa, musician Cheick Hamala Diabate will showcase his mastery of both the n’goni (the African ancestor of the

banjo) and the modern banjo.

Also headlining the performance this year will be master clawhammer banjoist, Bob Carlin. Both Carlin and Diabate will receive this year’s CPMF Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 2007 they collaborated on the Grammy-nominated album “From Mali to America,” and will perform on Friday night

both separately and together, in a reflection of the important careers of both entertainers.

Another featured performer will be Seth Swingle, last year’s winner of the CPMF Old-Time Three Finger Banjo Championship. Seth, as a Fulbright Scholar, has studied under Diabate, and will join him and Carlin, as, among the three of them, they perform singularly and together for a full evening of rich traditional music. As if that were not enough, leading off the Friday evening concert will be the highly popular old time band from Greensboro, NC, The Zinc Kings. The dance floor will be down and ready for everyone to kick up their heels and enjoy.

Friday night’s event, the festival continues, bright and early on Saturday, with the highly respected contests featuring youth vocal and instrument, and individual adult categories in multiple acoustic instruments and vocal, plus old-time and bluegrass band categories. The evening is capped off with the Old Time Three-Finger Banjo Championship, and, by popular demand, there will be an “open mic” interlude while everyone waits for the votes to be counted and the winners announced. All of this happens in the very neighborhood where Charlie Poole lived and worked, when he wasn’t out rambling and making world-changing music back in the 1920s and 30s.

For those musicians, young and old and all points between, who wish to brush up on their skills or learn new techniques, there will be several special workshop offerings on Saturday, during the festival. For young folks, there will be a Youth Band Workshop offered, with a special opportunity for participants to perform onstage at its conclusion. And, for the banjo enthusiasts attending, whatever their genre, three different workshops will focus on the three different playing styles featured at the Charlie Poole Festival. Seth Swingle, reigning champion of the Old Time 3-Finger Banjo contest will present that style in an afternoon workshop; Don Wright will present bluegrass style banjo; and, Riley Baugus will offer his expertise in clawhammer style banjo.

Food and other vendors will be on site for the festival, with lots of home-cooked treats and handmade treasures. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own chairs. Assistance is available for those who need help in getting into the venue. Camping is free to festival goers. Tickets are $15 for Friday night’s concert; $15 for all day Saturday; or $25 for a weekend pass. This project is supported by the N.C. Arts Council and the Rockingham County Arts Council, as well as the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development, and the City of Eden Tourism Development.

The family of Clyde Pressley would like to express their sincere appreciation to all the Eden friends, co-workers and students who sent birthday cards to our father. We received over 50 cards & many wonderful comments, stories and humor were included in them. Sadly, our father passed away three days prior to his 90th birthday. His goal had been to reach 90 but in this weekend state of dinner shot and pneumonia, he thought he was already 98! During his last week of life, while in the hospital, we ran all the cards to him. Even after he became unconscious, his around the clock caregivers continued reading the cards. Several of these sentiments were so touching that they were read at his funeral and all the cards were displayed on a remembrance table after the service.

We are most grateful to everyone who took the time to send a card to celebrate our dad, who ended up celebrating his 19th birthday in heaven.

Memorial gifts may be made to the following: William Klein Presley scholarship, Rockingham County Schools, 511 Harrington Hwy., Eden, North Carolina 27288, attention: Toi Harriston.

Important Voting Information What is Absentee Voting?

When a voter votes prior to Election Day, they vote Absentee. Absentee Voting is comprised of two methods by which registered voters may cast their ballots other than by the traditional method of appearing in person and casting a ballot on the day of the Election. These methods are Absentee by Mail (Civilian Absentee Voting and Military/Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting) and Absentee in Person (One Stop Absentee Voting). One Stop Absentee Voting is often referred to as One Stop (Early) Voting.

Properly registered voters in Rockingham County may choose to vote Absentee due to illness, disability, being out of town on Election Day, or simply for convenience. A reason for voting Absentee is not required. All Absentee Ballots that are properly cast in any Election in Rockingham County are counted.

Curbside Voting in Rockingham County Curbside Voting is an option offered to Voters who can travel to their Voting Location but due to age or physical disability cannot enter the Voting Enclosure.

Curbside Voters are permitted to remain in their vehicle while voting their ballot. A curbside voter has the same rights to assistance as any other voter.

Curbside Voting is available at all Voting Locations, both at One Stop (Early) Voting Sites, and at Election Day Voting Locations.

Curbside votes are counted in the same manner as regular votes.

To Vote Curbside...

When you arrive at the Voting

Location, park in one of the designated Curbside Voting parking spaces. An Elections Official will come out to obtain your information.

You will need to provide an Acceptable type of Photo ID OR present a copy of one of the following documents that shows your name and address: -Current Utility Bill -Bank Statement -Government Check Paycheck -Other Government Document The Elections Official will then go back into the Voting Enclosure to obtain your Voter Form, Ballot, and other Curbside Voting Materials.

The Elections Official will bring your Voter Form and Ballot to you.

Once you have taken the Curbside Voter Oath and signed your Voter Form, the Elections Official will give you your ballot and a secrecy sleeve for you to place your voted ballot into. The Elections Official will step away from the car so that you may vote your ballot privately.

Once you have voted your ballot and placed it into the secrecy sleeve, the Elections Official will take your ballot immediately into the Voting Enclosure and have it placed into the M100 Voting Tabulator to be counted.

Online Voter Guide & Registration Deadline for June 7 Primary Now voters in North Carolina will have access to an online voter guide for the June 7 primary. The eleven-page guide prepared by the State Board of Elections is designed to inform voters of key election dates, primary candidates for N.C. Supreme Court, voter ID requirements and exceptions.

“We hope voters use our

online voter guide and participate in the June 7 primary for U.S. House and N.C. Supreme Court,” said Executive Director Kim Westbrook Strach.

The guide contains statements and information about four candidates competing in a primary for associate justice on the N.C. Supreme Court. Filing for that office opened in March after a court struck down a retention election process that had been available to sitting justices.

Several pages contain information on voter ID requirements and exceptions. Additional information is available online: VoterID.nc.gov.

There are some important dates to keep in mind.

• Saturday, June 4 – one stop early voting ends at 1 p.m.

• Monday, June 6 – military and overseas deadline for receipt of voter registration and absentee ballot request • Tuesday, June 7 – primary election day (polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m.)

The North Carolina State Board of Elections is the state agency charged with overall responsibility for administration of the elections process and campaign finance disclosure in North Carolina. The office of the State Board of Elections works in conjunction with County Board of Elections offices to ensure that elections are conducted lawfully and fairly.

Turner Furniture has been in business since 1952, originally owned by Ray Turner, Jerry Robertson bought the company from Turner in 1999, keeping the name in tact. Only a short time later, in 2002, a 5000 ft. square feet warehouse was added to the original building.

Then again in 2014 another 5000 square foot addition was created.

Currently Robertson is working on an edition again, in the rear of this a lot. A 2500 foot warehouse will be completed by the end of June.

Turner Furniture is Rockingham County’s largest Serta and La-Z-Boy dealers.

They are the offering finance plans for everyone’s budget and needs. Other brands offered are Vaughn-Bassett, Ashley, and many more. They have accessories for your home by various makers.

Federal Court Upholds Voter ID

“Eden is a town rich with history. In fact, it is a National Treasure,” says Randy Hunt, Eden Chamber of Commerce President, “This area where we stand now is recorded on the National Register of Historic places by the National Trust.”

Through the hard work and at great expense, of a group of concerned citizens in the early 1980’s navigated the application process that allowed four specific areas of Eden to become of National importance.

Their effort helped pave the way for Eden to become a Main Street community and eventually lead to our Down Town Development Corporation. It is this group that initially recognized the value of this project.

Hunt added, “As we fast approach our future, let us not forget the rich heritage that lead us to this moment in time. We are all here by choice. There are just as many roads that lead out of town as there are that lead into town. Eden is beautiful, full of possibilities and opportunities. I am so proud to tell people I am from here.”

A federal court has upheld North Carolina’s hugely popular photo voter ID requirement, dismissing all claims in a lawsuit filed by political opponents of the law. The order in North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP et al v. McCrory is attached.

In a 485-page ruling, the federal court agreed that “the changes were based on legitimate and substantial concerns of election integrity and fairness and leave an electoral system that provides generous, fair, and equal opportunity for voters of all races and ages.”

Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee CoChairmen Rep. David Lewis (R-Harnett) and Sen. Bob Rucho (RMecklenburg) issued the following joint statement: “Despite the small but shrill opposition who continue to abuse the courts in an attempt to overturn the will of the voters, another reasonable, commonsense law supported by a majority of North Carolinians has been upheld. We are glad the court recognized the law provides all voters an equal opportunity to vote and stopped this politically-motivated overreach from the Obama Justice Department.”

In spite of more than 30 other states having voter ID requirements and a similar law being upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 2008, far-left special interest groups have spent years filing duplicative lawsuits in multiple courts attempting to block the commonsense policy in North Carolina.

Polls – including those commissioned by groups challenging the law – consistently show the overwhelming majority of North Carolinians support voter ID. And while opponents made misleading claims and presented flawed and erroneous data from a professor hired by the Obama Justice department, they were unable to offer a single witness who would be unable to vote under the law.

The voter ID law continues to ensure any North Carolina citizen who wants to vote will have that opportunity. The law establishes a list of valid government-issued photo IDs that voters can present at their polling places, and allows anyone without a photo ID to obtain one at no cost through the Department of Motor Vehicles. It also brings North Carolina into the mainstream of other states on matters of same-day registration and out-ofprecinct voting.

London displayed the wreck of a car to show just what can happen when you combine drinking and driving, or excessive speed and carelessness.

Q & A’s: 9 Screening Tests for Men

Are you one of those guys who can’t remember the last time you stepped foot in a doctor’s office?

Sure, maybe you’ve gotten in for something urgent, but what about scheduling an annual exam or screening tests? Maybe you simply forget, think you already have healthy habits, or insist that you “feel just fine.” Sorry, guys…. Not quite good enough.

Regular checkups and screening tests aren’t something you can afford to ignore. Baseline tests can help your doctor know how your health is changing over time. Plus, silent killers such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol can wreak havoc—and you wouldn’t have a clue without being tested.

Here’s a simple screening cheat sheet to make your life easier.

1. Abdominal aortic aneurysm. If you have ever smoked, get this ultrasound test one time between ages 65 and 75. This test will show whether or not your largest artery (abdominal aorta) is bulging.

If it is, it may burst, putting you at risk for bleeding—and even death.

2. Blood pressure. Starting at age 18: • Get tested at least every 2 years if your blood pressure is lower than 120/80.

• Get tested once a year if your blood pressure is between 120/80 and 139/89.

• Discuss treatment with your doctor if your blood pressure is 140/90 or higher.

3. Cholesterol. From age 20 to 34, get a regular cholesterol test if you are at increased risk for heart disease. At age 35, get a regular cholesterol test. Ask your doctor how often you need to do this.

4. Colorectal cancer. Get screened for colorectal cancer from age 50 to 75. This screening may include one or more tests, such as fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy.

Ask your doctor which test is best for you and how often you need it.

5. Depression. Ask your doctor about being screened for depression if over the past weeks: • You have felt sad or hopeless • You have lost interest or pleasure in doing the things you normally enjoy 6. Diabetes. Starting at age 18, get screened if your blood pressure is higher than 135/80 or if you take high blood pressure medicine.

7. Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Get screened once if you: • Were born between 1945 and 1965.

• Have ever injected drugs.

• Received a blood transfusion before 1992.

8. Lung cancer. Ask your doctor whether or not to be screened if you: • Are between 55 and 80.

• Have a 30 pack-year smoking history. (This is the number of packs smoked per day times the number of years you smoked.)

• Smoke now or quit within the past 15 years.

9. Overweight and obesity. This is a test you can do yourself. Find your body mass index (BMI) by entering your weight and height into an online BMI calculator.

Discuss with your doctor whether you are at increased risk for any other diseases.

If so, you may need other tests.

Be honest with your health care provider and me. Be sure to let us know what worries you— whether it’s your weight, alcohol use, or challenges with anxiety. Think of us as your partners in health.

We can do a much better job of helping you if we fully understand your health challenges and concerns.

Heros are among us Recently Captain James Nance and Senior Paramedic Steve Evans, both of Rockingham County EMS, received an Emergency Medical Services award.

Inmate Litter Pickup Program works for county The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office is proud to report that since the Inmate Litter Pickup Program began in April 2015, volunteer inmates working in the program have removed 2,862 bags of litter from 465 miles of Rockingham County’s roadsides.

On January 5th 2015, the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved two new Sheriff’s Office positions and equipment needed to create the Inmate Litter Pickup Program. The positions and equipment are funded by the Rockingham County Landfill Enterprise Fund, meaning no taxpayer money is needed to sustain the program.

The program is a volunteer program. Only inmates of the Rockingham County Detention Facility that are serving a sentence for low level, non-violent misdemeanor offenses, that have no outstanding bonds or warrants, and are medically cleared to participate in the program, can volunteer. Inmates who meet these qualifications and volunteer can earn time off their respective sentences while hopefully earning a good work ethic to put to use after their release in the process. These volunteer inmates are supervised by two, duly sworn Deputy Sheriff’s while working outside the confinement of the Detention Facility.

The estimated five year savings to the taxpayers of Rockingham County from using the Inmate Litter Pickup Program verses contracting with a litter removal service is $235,510.

Senate, House Agree to $22.225 Billion Budget Spending Level Legislative leaders announced Wednesday they have reached agreement on a $22.225 billion spending level for the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 state budget.

In the coming weeks, the House and Senate will pass budget proposals that limit spending to $22.225 billion, which represents a prudent 2.26 percent spending increase over last year’s budget.

Sen. Harry Brown (R-Onslow) and Rep. Nelson Dollar (RWake), co-chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations/Base Budget, issued the following joint statement: “This fiscally sound and sustainable spending target will enable us to fund our shared priorities without repeating the excessive spending binges we saw under Democrats – and it is an important step to quickly passing a final budget.”

Berger Responds to Obama DOJ Argument that Men Have a ‘Right’ to Use Women’s Bathroom Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued the following statement Wednesday in response to the Obama Justice Department’s threat to sue North Carolina unless the state allows men into bathrooms and locker rooms with women: “This is a gross overreach by the Obama Justice Department that deserves to be struck down in federal court, and I cannot say it any better than Fourth Circuit Judge Paul Niemeyer did recently: “This unprecedented holding overrules custom, culture, and the very demands inherent in human nature for privacy and safety, which the separation of such facilities is designed to protect. More particularly, it also misconstrues the clear language of Title IX and its regulations. And finally, it reaches an unworkable and illogical result.’”

Reauthorization of Older American’s Act Protects Services to Older Adults In April 2016, nearly five years after its expiration, legislation to reauthorize the Older Americans Act (OAA) received unanimous Congressional support and was signed into law by the President. The OAA was first enacted in 1965 when President Johnson signed three pieces of landmark legislation that together would drastically impact the lives of older adults: Medicare, Medicaid and The Older Americans Act. While Medicare and Medicaid extended healthcare insurance to millions of previously uninsured Americans, the OAA focused on the funding of critical services designed to support older adults, keeping them healthy and independent as they age.

Despite its success over the past 50 years, the OAA had remained in limbo since authorization lapsed in 2011. While services continued after that period, reauthorization would provide Congress the ability to update and improve the services provided through OAA as well as protect or increase the funding delivered through this legislation.

According to statistics provided by the Administration for Community Living, OAA programs reach millions of Americans annually, with one in every five older adults benefiting from the various supports.

Numerous programs are provided through the OAA, but the majority of funding is associated with state grants that offer four categories of service supports: Supportive Services and Senior Centers, Nutrition Services, Caregiver Support and Disease Prevention and Health

Powers

Promotion. To maximize the impact, grants are designed to leverage other funding from states and local communities by requiring local matching and by giving program recipients an opportunity to make voluntary contributions towards the expansion of the services that they receive.

At ADTS many of our programs are funded through the Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG), a state grant program as well as the Family Caregiver Support program, both of which are made possible through the OAA. Locally, we are using these funds to provide meals to homebound seniors; provide nutrition services through our four congregate nutrition sites; provide general and medical transportation; offer family caregiver support and respite programs; serve older adults with cognitive and/or physical impairments at our adult-day care center, support senior center operations at the Center for Active Retirement and provide in-home assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing and meal prep.

The programs offer a full range of supports that address a vast array of needs faced by older adults and their family caregivers. These critical programs are central to helping older adults remain independent in their homes and communities.

We commend Congress on the bipartisan efforts to reauthorize the OAA, protecting funding to the programs that enable millions of older adults to age in their home with dignity, independence and choice.

Financial hardships can leave you feeling helpless, embarrassed, stressed out, and hopeless.

As a Rockingham County native, I take pride in offering a service that can help ease many of the financial burdens that my neighbors here are facing. I understand how overwhelming financial struggles can be and how they can affect your entire family. A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may help you find some much-needed relief from burdensome debt and help you get on the road to financial recovery.

Many people do not realize how a bankruptcy case can help them. They believe that bankruptcy ruins their credit forever, that they will lose everything that they have, and that they will never get credit again. That is not true. In fact, bankruptcy can often help you keep property that you are otherwise at risk of losing and can help you get a fresh start and begin the process of improving your credit score.

I offer FREE consultations in a relaxed, friendly, and confidential environment. I sit down with potential clients at these meetings to discuss their financial situation and offer advice as to what options they may have under the US Bankruptcy Code. I also give them the opportunity to ask any questions they have about the bankruptcy process and the impact it will have on their family. If you are curious about how bankruptcy can help you, please call me and schedule a free consultation. If you are curious, but not yet ready to come in for a consultation, call me and I will send you a packet of information to help you decide if bankruptcy is an option you would like to explore further.

Contined from Page 1 municipalities, and DRBA in 2012. At approximately 3.5 miles long, Mayodan Mountain Bike Trail is classified at beginner to intermediate skill level.

"This trail is built to the highest International Mountain Bike Association standards by Tony McGee, a professional landscape designer and competition level cyclist." says Jenny Edwards, DRBA Program Manager, "He knows exactly what cyclists are looking for in a trail. It's a joy to ride for both experienced and novice cyclists--and it's great for walkers and joggers too. Just an all round delightful trail. We are very proud to be part of it."

The project cost more than $42,000 and took approximately two years to complete with volunteer help. Nearly all of the funds came from foundation support. Duke Energy brought more than 200 volunteers from across North Carolina to accomplish hand finish work on the trail late last year. Other trail volunteers came from Greensboro Fat Tire Society, REI, and DRBA. In addition to supporting trail construction, Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust provided funding to purchase mountain bikes for the McMichael High School MTB Club and the general public. Use of the bikes is free for McMichael High School students (with ID) and at a nominal charge to the general public during regular concession hours.

While the celebration on May 21st at Farris Memorial Park marks a milestone for the

trail, the Town of Mayodan has plans for the trail's future. The Conservation Fund has granted the Town and DRBA funding to partner with UMAR at the Roc and Round Rock Design in a pilot project that will employ people with disabilities to design and construct future trail sections this spring and summer. In addition, the Town is seeking support from the Recreational Trail Program (RTP) with NC State Parks to add another mile of trail. If RTP funds are awarded that project is anticipated to begin in late fall 2016 and complete in late 2017. These two phases of trail would bring the total length of trail to approximately 5 miles.

Farris Memorial Park has over 270 acres of fun for the whole family - in addition to the mountain bike trail, there are picnic shelters, hiking trails, ball fields, soccer fields, concessions, a golf driving range and miniature golf course, fishing in two ponds, and plenty of room to roam. Come visit Mayodan's backyard!

For information on the celebration, contact Jenny Edwards at (336) 339-6169 or jedwards@danriver.org. For information on bike rentals or other park amenities, contact M-M Recreation Center at (336) 5482789 or Town of Mayodan (336) 427-0241. Find the trail on Facebook facebook.com/mayodanmountainbiketrail. Farris Memorial Park is located at 2878 Park Rd, Mayodan, NC 27027.

Fire at Pine Hall Madison and Mayodan, Recognized as 2016 Brick Playful City USA A fire was discovered in Pine Hall Brick in Madison in late April which destroyed much of the equipment in its grinder building. No one was working in the facility when the fire broke out.

A security guard encountered heavy smoke around 1am and called in the fire department. By the time it was discovered it was too far gone to be handled by simple fire extinguishers.

Under control in less than 45 minutes, the firefighters remained to handle hot spots and clear smoke from the building until approximately 4:40am.

The fire destroyed much of the machinery in that department, but supervisors hopes are they should be operational again soon.

Greenway for Western county in planning stages A new Greenway is underway in the Western side of Rockingham County near Belews Lake. This 20-plus mile greenway will be 10 feet wide and when finished, be dubbed the longest greenway in Rockingham County. The goal is to bring in more major sporting events to the area The local triathlons are usually hosted by Benji Jones at the Carolina Marina in Stokesdale notes that when completed the greenway would enable the triathlon to double in size, drawing well over 500 triathletes annually for this one event.

With construction possibly starting within the next six months, Commissioners are now working with an architectural engineer to come up with final design for the greenway. The project will cost at least $20 million and will be paid for using state funding, grants and private sponsorships.

Communities 257 communities exhibiting Playability to be recognized as part of 2016 Playful City USA Program Madison and Mayodan are being honored with a 2016 Playful City USA designation for the second time. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the national recognition program honors cities and towns across the country for making their cities more playable.

“Play is a critical component of childhood well-being and achievement, community health and economic vitality”, David Myers, Mayor of Madison, NC “The town of Mayodan endorses healthy, active play and will strive to ensure that all children get the balance of active play they require to become healthy and successful adults”, Jeffrey Bullins, Mayor of Mayodan, NC. Communities across the country are creating innovative ways to bring back play and attract residents through family friendly activities. Interactive sidewalk art, designated play spaces on trails and the transformation of schoolyards into active play areas are just a few examples of how cities are becoming more playful.

“We are thrilled to recognize these communities that have invested their time and efforts to put kids first,” said KaBOOM! CEO James Siegal. “Balanced and active play is crucial to the well-being of kids and the communities that they thrive in. By integrating play into cities, the leaders of Playful Cities USA are working to attract and retain the thousands of families that want homes in close proximity to safe places to play.”

To learn more about these cities, see the full list of the 257 communities named 2016 Playful City USA honorees, or to gather more information on the Playful City USA program, visit www.playfulcityusa.org.

Madison/Mayodan & Stoneville The 11 year old Candy Man By: Sue Orellana

A young man in our community has been working behind the scenes blessing others with his talents for a few years now.

Trenton Phelps of Rockingham County is a 14 year old who many adults could learn something from. Known as The Candy Man, Trenton began his journey at 11 years old as a summer project. His father, Travis Phelps offered him the options of finding summer employment or finding a new hobby to work on instead of playing videogames all summer as most of our youth these days does. Mr. Phelps allowed his son to purchase $20 dollars of ingredients to make his own bubblegum and that $20 dollars has turned into a blessing for an innumerable amount of people in our community and surrounding communities.

After mastering the production of bubblegum, Trenton learned his father’s pastime of making hard candy and has developed and perfected over 24 flavors. After generous support from Smart Chevrolet, Trenton was able to sell his candy to the employees and later gained a sponsor for him to set up his very first table in a festival.

After these experiences, The Candy Man began to experiment with other creations including 7 flavors of lip balm, the bugbite stick, lotions, salsa, fudge and 15 different scented soaps which are all gluten free with no preservatives. Members of the community even claim that the soap he created healed them of medically treated eczema and they no longer have to take medication! He is currently working on and testing a new oatmeal bathsalt.

The Candy Man’s teachers, friends and family test out all of his products to tell him if it is a pass or go and he perfects his products before selling them.

Becoming successful in creating products is not all this young man does. The pastime of making bubblegum turned into a charity. Trenton takes just enough money to make more products and the rest he gives to different organizations, charities and struggling residents within our community. A few of the places and people he has helped and donated money to are the Lot 2540, South Stokes high school, St. James Lodge, and baby Zac. Baby Zac is a child who has had over 14 surgeries before the age of 1. The family stays with baby Zac at the Ronald McDonald House and Trenton was able to help the family with gas money and other

Trenton Phelps needs.

The Candy Man raises the money by setting up booths at different festivals and events such as the Madison Heritage festival and his next stop will be on June 18th in Greensboro, NC at the Summer Solstice Festival at Lindon Park. He plans on taking the proceeds to the National Guard Station in Wentworth for their upcoming Homeless Veterans outreach. The National Guard will provide a mobile dentist truck as they feed the veterans and will also assist them in signing up for the VA while giving doctor exams on the spot.

Trenton says his inspiration is the support he receives from his family and friends and the joy he feels from helping those in need motivates him. He has goals to eventually open his own business location and continue to help those in need. For now you can find his page on Facebook under Candyman Creations.

He gives away his product to two random people who like his page every month with items of their choice. He also has the page to share with the community upcoming events, fundraisers and causes that people may want to get involved with, to plug volunteers into different organizations and charities. The page is also to bring awareness to the needs of Rockingham County.

The Candy Man says we should “stand together and not alone” and “don’t give up on your dreams. People will always critique you during your life just look past it!”

This young man is an inspiration to me and a light of hope to others, The Candy Man is a beacon of joy and an asset to our community.

Flynn Furniture has graduated from successful furniture dealer, to TV star status! This spring Danny Sr. and Danny Jr. Smith have begun to carry one of the most popular and top of the line furniture showcased on the hit television show, HGTV Fixer Uppers. Danny Jr and his wife Brandy went to the High Point Furniture market this year and met the stars of the show Joanna and Chip Gaines and began a meaningful business relationship. By the end of the meeting she decided that she would sell her furniture to our wonderful Madison, NC in the Flynn Furniture location!

Joanna designed her own furniture and is very choosy as to which dealers and locations sell her items and is choosing 200 locations throughout the United States to showcase her creations. Joanna began her dream of the Magnolia Home business on a piece of scrap paper. The couple faced many obstacles including having four children that at one point put her dreams to the side. After a lot of support from Chip and a burning passion set fire, Joanna and Chip decided to go forth with their line of furniture and have become the rant and rave of HGTV and in homes across America. Joanna has a desire to make things beautiful which fuels all of their many projects and with the incredible construction skills Chip has, they make impossible visions into reality. Flynn Furniture invites you to see the new unique line of furniture but be careful, you might fall in love!

New orders for the line are made every day now. Danny Sr. and Jr. have been at the Flynn furniture location since January 12th 1979.

They are family owned and are upstanding citizens of Rockingham County. While running the store they also contribute to much of the success of the annual Heritage Festival and love their community as much as they love providing quality furniture to its residents.

Leadership Ambassadors Spend Day at NC Supreme Court Leadership ambassadors were the invited guests of NC Supreme Court Justice The Honorable Cheri Beasley.

They day started with a tour of the US Justice Department followed by introduction to Felice McConnell Corpening, Deputy Criminal Chief US Attorney’s Office – Eastern District of North Carolina.

Attorney Corpening gave a lively overview of her career path and explained her role in the justice department. She engaged the ladies with stories and answered questions. She then gave the ladies access to a trial proceeding in progress.

The Honorable James E. Gates US Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina presided.

At a brief recess Judge Gates welcomed the ambassadors and offered words of inspiration and invited them to visit his chambers.

The trial visit was followed by a meeting with Attorney Corpening and John Bruce, Acting US Attorney – Eastern District of North Carolina.

The moment finally arrived to meet Justice Beasley. The ambassadors were escorted into her private chambers where she mentored and shared her journey.

She pointed out a podium in her chambers that belonged to the first woman and first woman Chief Justice to serve on the NC Supreme Court, Susie Sharp of

Reidsville, North Carolina.

Justice Beasley gave the girls a personal tour and guided them to the legislative building where they had lunch. Along the way, Justice Beasley acted as a tour guide. She offered facts and details about monuments, buildings and statutes. During lunch Justice Beasley shared what it was like to be sworn in at the Supreme Court in Washington D.C.

The ambassadors also received inspiration and encouragement from other leaders.

Senator Erica Ingram Smith personally hosted a reception for them where a dozen senators came to offer words of wisdom.

Senator Ingram and Senator Phil Berger made a motion to have the leadership ambassadors recognized and introduced on the Senate floor.

Traveling Through Time

School is Cool!

Third grade students from Huntsville Elementary traveled back in time at the Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center to explore pioneer living and participate in cooperative team building activities. The group also enjoyed a picnic lunch on the grounds.

A Little Creative Drama at Stoneville Elementary Stoneville Elementary School hosted storyteller Donna L. Washington for a week long artist residencyin March. Washington has been sharing stories with audiences for more than 24 years. Her amazing vocal pyrotechnics and dynamic physicality make her stories come alive to enthrall and delight audiences from ages four to 104. She has been featured at the National Storytelling Festival, the Wake County Storytelling Festival and numerous other events across the country. She has seven multiple-award–winning CDs and is an accomplished author, with seven children’s books and numerous articles published. During her week long residency, she instructed all students in drama, storytelling, oral presentation, and create imagery as a means to improve creative writing. She also performed stories from China, Mexico and India during an assembly for students, staff and community members. The residency was made possible through a Grassroots Grant awarded to music teacher Renee Halpin and through the Stoneville Elementary School Beth Mitchell Fund. This project received support from the NC Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

The Rockingham County High School Women's Golf team won the 3A State Championship on October 27, 2015. They held a state championship ring ceremony on March 24, 2016 to celebrate their accomplishment.

Douglass Elementary Participates in JDRF KidsWalk On April 22 Douglass Elementary School participated in a JDRF (formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) school KidsWalk to cure Diabetes. With a “superhero” theme the students, staff, parents and community joined together to fight against Juvenile Diabetes.

Each day 40 children are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the U.S. alone. That’s equivalent to an entire classroom of students each and every day!

Type 1 Diabetes is a life threatening autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.

JDRF KidsWalk helps educate students about type 1 and type 2 Diabetes and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and to provide them with an opportunity to make a difference by raising money for (T1D). This walk helps foster an environment of

positive character building and community service at the school.

Through their efforts, students learn tolerance and empathy for others and raise awareness of T1D in the community.

Led by Douglass kindergarten teacher and JDRF Kids Walk school coordinator, Karen Owen, Douglass Elementary School raised $6,450 for JDRF. Since the school exceeded their goal, Mrs. Vickie McKinney (Douglass Principal) dressed up as the superhero voted on by the students - Spiderman!

Sidney Owen was the school's JDRF Grand Marshall who represented the school by leading the KidsWalk. Even though the weather did not want to cooperate, you cannot stop superheroes and they completed their KidsWalk lap. Students were cheered on by the Eden Police Department, Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, Eden Fire Department, Morehead High cheerleaders, Morehead High JROTC members and the ChickFil-A cow.

racer at heart, he’s been racing go carts for years. In 2014 at Riverside Raceway Burris won the race in his #04 winged kart, taking home a $300 purse, but he felt there was something more, he craved something different. He remarks, “It is not for the money and you can’t get rich, but the rewards are the memories I have with my Family and friends.”

Burris had raced Winged Karts for years, at the time on dirt. On a whim, he and his father-in-law Bobby Kyle decided to go to South Boston Speedway the next day to witness something they had never seen in person, the Hampton Roads Karting Club Pro Wing Champ Kart Series.

“I was simply amazed, the guys were on the ragged edge.

The Daytona and Talladega style “drafting” you see with the big boys was introduced to me that day at South Boston. I was hooked immediately,” Burris said of the paved track experience. He jokes, “I made the switch because well, Asphalt is cleaner than dirt!” The only downfall was that they race at Langley Speedway for the majority of the time, which was 4 1/2 hours away.

The next race at South Boston was August 29, 2014, so the team had time to work on preparing a wing machine for this division. We tested a few times at Ace Motor Speedway which was the closest 4/10 of a mile track near home. The day came for the South Boston race but the rain reaked havoc on the event, “I felt like we had done all this work for nothing,” he said.

Soon they stepped out of

their security area and took the extra step, heading to Langley Speedway on September 27, 2014. “I didn’t know what to expect, there was a huge field of karts. We qualified 4th that day out of 25 karts,” Burris adds, “It caught everyone offguard including myself.”

The rules of this sort of racing were so that you had to actually race four races before you can start where you qualify, so in the back he ran. It was an experience to say the least, he says, a learning one at that. For Teddy to get the rooky strip off his back he had to travel to Hampton, Virginia three more times. Each time the results were really good. He qualified on the pole, a third and a fourth, but still had to go to the rear for those three races. He made good headway in one race placing seventh after starting 23rd. All this was to get him in position for South Boston on August 23, 2015, Where he would start in the spot he qualified in.

At this race he achieved the pole, just what he wanted. With the history and heritage here along with the fact is was his grandfather Carl Burns’ old stomping grounds, he wanted this race bad. “As the green flag flew l led to halfway and the three car draft set me up where I finished fourth out 19 karts,” he said.

Pleased but not satisfied, he really wanted a podium finish, he works hard to improve each time.

Now he and his teammate Brian McGee are with the DSE Pro Wing Champions Kart Series, and are associated with Florence Motor Speedway in South Carolina and Carteret County Speedway near Emerald Isle, North Carolina.

Burris notes, “I and my teammate number 41 Brian McGee, travel to these locations to battle the best of the best. We are racing the first Saturday of every month at Forence with the exception of Carteret on July 3rd for the summer shout out at the beach.” They also will race on October 29 inagural “King of the Wing” Invitational at Carteret County Speedway.

Still a local racer, the team is proud of their many local sponsors including the Railroad Café, Draper Cycle, Importacar, Skywalker Roofing, Side-BySide Motorsports, Gearhardt’s Paint & Body Shop, Classic Carburetor Rebuilders, Amcor, and DSE. Even closer to home support comes from wife Rebecca Burris, and their two wonderful kids Zoe and Faith, his dad Eddie Burris and father-in-law Bobby Kyle along with teammate #41 Brian McGee.

257 communities exhibiting Playability to be recognized as part of 2016 Playful City USA Program The City of Eden is being honored with a 2016 Playful City USA designation for the 3rd time. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the national recognition program honors cities and towns across the country for making their cities more playable.

Communities across the country are creating innovative ways to bring back play and attract residents through family friendly activities. Interactive sidewalk art, designated play spaces on trails and the transformation of schoolyards into active play areas are just a few examples of how cities are becoming more playful.

“We are thrilled to recognize these communities that have invested their time and efforts to

put kids first,” said KaBOOM! CEO James Siegal. “Balanced and active play is crucial to the well-being of kids and the communities that they thrive in. By integrating play into cities, the leaders of Playful Cities USA are working to attract and retain the thousands of families that want homes in close proximity to safe places to play.”

To learn more about these cities, see the full list of the 257 communities named 2016 Playful City USA honorees, or to gather more information on the Playful City USA program, visit www.playfulcityusa.org.

We also encourage you to take part in the conversation on #playability with these thought leaders on Twitter and Facebook.

Since 1996, KaBOOM! has collaborated with partners to build, open or improve nearly 16,300 playgrounds, engaged more than one million volunteers and served 8.1 million kids. KaBOOM! creates great places to play, inspires communities to promote and support play, and works to drive the national discussion about the importance of play in fostering healthy and productive lives.

RCC Students Receive Microsoft Digital Literacy Certification On Friday, six Rockingham Community College students received Microsoft Digital Literacy Certification in a ceremony held at CenterPoint Wellness Center in Eden. AT&T, The Rockingham County Education Foundation and RCC partnered to begin offering the Microsoft Digital Literacy Certification earlier this year.

Underwritten by a $5,000 contribution from AT&T, the program provides training in basic digital literacy skills for financially and digitally disadvantaged residents of Rockingham County. The curriculum is based on a four-week program of study where students earn a Microsoft Digital Literacy Certification while simultaneously learning and accessing computer technology for job seeking skills.

“Digital literacy is the key to preparing citizens of Rockingham County for success in the workplace. I believe that

RCC's Digital Literacy Program provides tools for improving our workforce,” said Craig Travis, Chairman of the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners.

In addition to receiving a certificate of completion, each graduate receives a low-cost, refurbished, Wi-Fi enabled laptop computer.

“At At&T, we believe strongly in the importance of education as essential to a person’s future success, as well as the future of a community,” said Kathleen Evans, AT&T Regional Director for External Affairs. “We are all citizens of a digital world and this program helps to prepare students for success in a way they may not have thought possible. That’s an exciting prospect and AT&T appreciates the opportunity to be a part of making it happen.”

“The goal of this program is to make a difference in our imme-

diate community by helping selfmotivated adults gain basic computer operating knowledge,” said RCC President Dr. Mark Kinlaw.

Graduates recognized were: Araceli Diaz, Luz Elena Flores, Robert Lunsford, Patricia Curtis, Melissa Galloway, Linda Clodfelter.

probably the oldest building in the city. This early nineteenth century structure (200 years of age!) is remarkably unchanged and in relatively good shape, considering its age, and with this help, it will be possible to go a long way toward bringing it back to life for all of our citizens to enjoy for years to come.

On April 8th, Project Chairman Louise Price and her husband, Philip, hosted a fundraiser that was hugely successful, with over 50 individuals contributing to the cause.

Perhaps even more gratifying, donations were received from three local non-profits who work hard to raise funds themselves: The Friends of the Eden Library; the Rockingham County Historical Association / MARC; and the Eden Firefighters Association. The community has really been excited about this project, and donations continue to roll in. These gifts have accounted for half of the matching funds needed, with over $5,000 raised.

The other half of the funds has been provided by the City of Eden, through the Eden Historic Preservation Commission.

These monies, however, are not taxpayer dollars. The fund from which this donation is being made was generated from the sales of “A Tale of Three Cities,” an inventory book of Eden’s architectural history that has been a project of the Commission.

So many groups and individuals have pulled together to make this project happen, but none of it would have been possible without the Covington grant. Donations beyond the necessary $5000 will be extremely helpful in the later stages of restoration, which it is anticipated will be mostly with volunteer labor, but paint and other materials have to be bought. And then there is also the restoration of the crumbling stone wall foundation of the earliest Morehead mill, memorialized in the Gov. Morehead Park below the Superintendent’s House.

Donations to the Eden Preservation Society are always needed, whether for special projects such as this restoration or the more mundane, but necessary, needs of mowing the grass at Morehead Park.

Huntsville's March of Dimes Fund Drive Huntsville's March of Dimes Fund Drive came to a sticky conclusion this afternoon as all of Huntsville's 440 students came out to watch Mrs. Hamilton, assistant principal, get duct taped to a spare bus in the event titled: Stick it to the Principal. The event, held May 13, was the last in the week's series of 5 fundraising events that resulted in a successful fund drive that raised a total of $498.98 for the March of Dimes. Additional online donations to support the March of Dimes can be made to the Huntsville Hounds for Emilee team page.

Experience a Carolina Summer with Carolina Monthly’s Seasonal Box For the past year, Carolina Monthly has been shipping monthly boxes of goods exclusively made in North Carolina to subscribers across the United States.

Past boxes include items like growlers from Winston’s Juggheads, lip balm from Craggy Mountain, apple butter from The Dutch Kettle, popcorn from Chad’s Popcorn, a cookbook from Foster’s Market and Freakers from Wilmington.

“Unlike other subscription companies, such as Birch Box or Bespoke Post, where boxed

items are generally samples or plastics made overseas, all of Carolina Monthly’s products come from local artists, designers, craftsman, chefs, and writers, so each item is made or designed in the Carolinas,” boasts CEO, Brock Swinson.

In May, the Piedmont-based company launched a seasonal box for those customers unfamiliar with the mystery aspects of a subscription box business.

In the Spring Box, items include cream soda from Waynesville Soda Jerks, a custom mug from EmDashPaperCo., as well as soaps and a flax-seed lavender

eye mask from Whispering Willow.

For the Summer Box, the company will be partnering with Raylen Vineyards, coffee shops like the Mad Bean in Madison and the traveling, repurposed designers Carolina Chic. In addition to the new offline presence,

For the Fun of it...

Restaurant Special John was starving!! He was stuck in a small hick town, lost and hungry. He was happy when he saw a small restaurant coming up on his right. John quickly pulled over, parked his car, and walked inside. John noticed a blackboard with a sign written in yellow chalk, “Today’s Special: Vegetable Soup with Fried Chicken and Grilled Vegetables.” “I’ll take the special”, said John to the waiter when he came to take his order. A few minutes after receiving his order John called over the waiter, he was fuming mad. “IS THIS THE SPECIAL!? It says vegetable soup, BUT THERE ARE NO VEGETABLES! It says grilled vegetables, BUT THEY AREN’T GRILLED THEY ARE BAKED!? And it says fried chicken, AND THE CHICKEN ISN’T FRIED!?

The waiter was not used to city folks and their attitudes and frankly he was not going to put up with this behavior. “My dear man,” said the waiter looking down at John over his glasses, “that is what makes it so special!!!”

Grandma “Hi! My name is Gertrude,” said the lady next to him on the plane. “It’s so nice to meet you! I’m flying to New York for my grandson’s third birthday. I’m so excited! I remember when he was just a little thumbkin and now he’s already three! It’s really hard to believe. He’s the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen! You know what? Hold on, I think I might have a picture on me. Let me take a look in my purse, yes, here it is, just look at him, isn’t he adorable. Do you see his dimple on his left cheek? Simply adorable! I could stare at his picture all day. Oh my, and you should hear him on the phone! He is just the cutest, he says to me in the cutest voice “Hi Grandma!” It just gets me all teary eyed.” After what seemed like two hours for the poor man sitting next to her, Gertrude seemed to realize that perhaps she was talking a bit too much. “You know, I feel terrible! Here I am just talking and talking without letting you get in a word edgewise! Tell me..what do you think about my Grandson!”

Landlord “Sir you have got to help!” said the tearful man at the door. “There is a family that I know very well that is in desperate need of money. The Father has been out of a job for over a year, they have five kids at home with barely a bit of food to eat. The worst part is, that they are about to kicked out of the house and they will be left on the streets without a roof over their heads!”

The man concluded with one last heart wrenching sob. “Well,” said the man at the door, “that really is a sad story. Why don’t you come inside and we’ll talk about it a little more.” “So how much money is needed exactly?” asked the man when they were both seated. “Oh it’s really terrible”, said the man starting up again, “why just for the rent $3000 is needed by tomorrow otherwise they’ll be kicked out onto the streets.” “How do you know so much about this situation?” asked the man as he reached for his check book.

“Well,” said the man breaking down once more “they are my tenants.”

Horse Jack strode into ‘John’s Stable’ looking to buy a horse. “Listen here” said John, “I’ve got just the horse your looking for, the only thing is, he was trained by an interesting fellow. He doesn’t go and stop the usual way. The way to get him to stop is to scream heyhey the way to get him to go is to scream Thank God. Jim nodded his head, “fine with me, can I take him for a test run?” Jim was having the time of his life this horse sure could run he thought to himself. Jim was speeding down the dirt road when he suddenly saw a cliff up ahead “stop!” screamed Jim, but the horse kept on going. No matter how much he tried he could not remember the words to get it to stop. “yoyo” screamed Jim but the horse just kept on speeding ahead. It was 5 feet from the cliff when Jim suddenly remembered “heyhey!” Jim screamed. The horse skidded to a halt just 1 inch from the cliff. Jim could not believe his good fortune, he looked up to the sky, raise his hands in the air, breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with conviction “Thank God.”

Pork The leader of the vegetarian society just couldn’t control himself anymore.

He just needed to try some pork, just to see what it tasted like. So one summer day he told his members he was going on a vacation. He packed out of town, and headed to the nearest restaurant. After sitting down, he ordered a roasted pig, and impatiently waited for his delicacy. After just a few minutes, he heard someone call his name, and to his great chagrin he saw one of his fellow members walking towards him. Just at that same moment, the waiter walked over, with a huge platter, holding a full roasted pig with an apple in it’s mouth. “Isn’t that something,” says the leader after only a moments pause, “all I do is order an apple, and look what it comes with!”

Blind Men Two men, Jim and John, were walking their dogs when they passed by a restaurant. “Let’s go in and get something to eat,” Jim suggested. “We can’t” responded John, “don’t you see the sign says NO PETS ALLOWED.” “Aah that sign,” said Jim “don’t worry about it” and taking out a pair of sunglasses, he walked up to the door. As he tried walking into the restaurant he got stopped at the door, “sorry no pets allowed.” Can’t you see” said Jim “I am blind, this is my seeing eye dog.” But it’s a doberman pincher, who uses a doberman pincher as a seeing eye dog?” the man asked “Oh,” Jim responded “you must have not heard, this is the latest type of seeing eye dog, they do a very good job.” Seeing that it worked, John tried walking in with his Chihuahua. Even before he could open his mouth, the doorman said “don’t tell me that a Chihuahua is the latest type of seeing eye dog.” Thinking quickly John responded in a angry voice “You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?”

Who Is The Real Boss?

Real Gut-Buster A woman noticed her husband standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in his stomach. “Ha! That’s not going to help,” she said.

“Sure, it does,” he said. “It’s the only way I can see the numbers.”

My Kids Don’t Know What I Do I’ve been working on my PhD in engineering for the past five years, but my kids don’t necessarily see that as work.

As we were driving past Walmart one day, my son spotted a Now Hiring sign and suggested that I could get a job there.

Hoping to make a point, I asked, “Do you think they’re looking for an engineer?”

“Oh, sure,” he said. “They’ll hire anybody.”

A Trashy Career “Has your son decided what he wants to be when he grows up?”

I asked my friend.

“He wants to be a garbageman,” he replied.

“That’s an unusual ambition to have at such a young age.”

“Not really. He thinks that garbagemen work only on Tuesdays.”

Dad Jokes from Granddad None of my grandsons share my corny sense of humor. When the family is eating lasagna, I say, “Lean over your plate, boys. You’ll get less-on-ya.” I say to the ten-year-old, “Don’t yell through the screen; you’ll strain your voice.” And when I took another grandson to the zoo, I asked, “Do you know why that snake’s not pressed against the glass? He doesn’t want to be a windshield viper.”

They’ll probably laugh later.

The Boss of our small company was complaining during a staff meeting that people didn’t respect him enough. Trying to change the attitude in the office he came in the next day with a sign for his door it said, “I am the boss”. One of the employees apparently not appreciating the change posted a post-a-note on the sign it said “your wife wants her sign back”

One Way To Save Money A man named Marty called his son. “Harry I have news to tell you, I know it’s going to upset you but I have made up my mind and there is nothing you can do about it. I have decided to divorce your mother.” “But dad how can that be “the son asked “you have been married for 40 years, and you always seemed to get along? What happened suddenly?” “Son, I have made up my mind, and I don’t want you to try to convince me out of it.” “OK” the son responded “but promise me you won’t do anything until I come and talk to you in person, and I am going to ask all of the siblings to fly in also.”Alright” said the father hanging up “you have my word. “Well” said Marty, turning to his wife “I got them all to come in and I didn’t even have to pay for the tickets.”

The Annoying Duck A duck walks into a bar, and asks the bartender, “do you have any grapes?”

“Nope” responded the bartender, “try somewhere else.” The duck walks out and back in, “do you sell grapes?” “I told you already I don’t” responded the bartender, “stop bothering me.” The duck walks back out and then back in again, “stop right where you are” the bartender screams “you ask me again if I have grapes I will take a hammer and nail your feet to the floor.” The duck walks out and then back in again, “do you sell nails?” he asks “No” responded the bartender.” “Do you sell grapes????“

List!

My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone prepared a meal for him. When Mother was ill, however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.

Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

Paternal Payback On the day I received my learner’s permit, my father agreed to take me out for a driving lesson. With a big grin, he hopped in behind the driver’s seat.

“Why aren’t you sitting up front on the passenger’s side?” I asked.

“Kirsten, I’ve been waiting for this ever since you were a little girl,” Dad replied. “Now it’s my turn to sit back here and kick the seat.”

My Daily Regimen My doctor took one look at my gut and refused to believe that I work out. So I listed the exercises I do every day: jump to conclusions, climb the walls, drag my heels, push my luck, make mountains out of molehills, bend over backward, run around in circles, put my foot in my mouth, go over the edge, and beat around the bush.

The Racetrack XXI

Perk Brown Returns

By Darrell Meade Gregory

It was rather warm this June 12th, 1960 Sunday as the sun beat down on the quarter-mile paved track. Sunday afternoon racing in the summer had always been brutal to the racers and fans alike but no one was paying attention to the heat during this modified sportsman race. The fans were standing in anticipation for one of their favorite hometown heroes who was leading on the last lap.

Announcer Louis Compton stood wiping the perspiration from his brow as he focused on this mesmerizing last lap. After his announcing duties at Bowman Gray just hours before on Saturday night, he was on the money as he fanned the enthusiasm of the standing, shouting crowd. His voice boomed through the screaming modified engines as he shouted out the winner. This is what Compton was born to do.

The heavily sought after Compton was a major fixture at the tracks in this area, most notably Martinsville and Bowman Gray. If there was a major race going on, Louis Compton was the man to announce it. Known as “the Mouth of the South”, his voice permeated through the roar of the engines like none other.

Even with antiquated PA systems like Bi-State’s, his voice carried very well. Compton had an excellent knowledge of racing which he blended with his diverse vocabulary on race day.

Compton was reaching his peak popularity in the 60’s . In 1973 he was offered a cameo appearance in the film “The Last American Hero”, portraying the race announcer at Martinsville.

In spite of sweltering temperatures on Sunday afternoon, the stands were filled on this June 12th. The return of NASCAR was bringing the heavy hitters of the area in their modified sportsman cars. BiState had started operations as an “outlaw” track which limited a lot of big name drivers from driving there because they were leery of the penalties which NASCAR would imposed on them for driving on non-sanctioned tracks. This prompted many drivers to race under

assumed names to sidestep the watchful eye of NASCAR. One such driver was Hank Thomas, who finally got to drop his moniker of Hank Funderburk at the Bi-State Speedway.

Hank Thomas was back at the Draper track with his No.19 Plymouth. Hank was getting to

lar Perk Brown came back from a blown engine the previous week. Although Perk Brown did not place well in the heat races, in the money race he was at the top, driving the modified Chevrolet of William Mason.

Perk went through the pack, picking off Roy Doolin and

be as proficient at building race cars as he was dominating the amateur class when he chose to drive. Hank could not pull a win off the previous race at Bi-State, but he was back in form on Sunday. An upcoming local driver Jimmy Griffin convincingly won his heat race as did Hank.

Because of car trouble, Jimmy Griffin was unable to mount a run at first place in the feature amateur race. Hank Thomas scored his first victory at the NASCAR sanctioned Bi-State under his real name.

Unfortunately, this was the last race that Hank Thomas ran at Draper. Several weeks after his win, Hank got a Western Union telegraph from Daytona which prohibited him from running amateur anymore in NASCAR sanctioned races.

Hank Thomas was winning too many races, and NASCAR was forcing him into the sportsman class. Taking it in stride, Hank quit his day job and started building race cars: which he built over a hundred. With successful cars, Hank could only go up in racing circles. In 2016, Hank is still running Hank Thomas Performance in Winston-Salem, which also sells racing fuels to tracks in Virginia and North Carolina.

Perk Brown was on a roll in the well-known William Mason No.45 car. The modified sportsman race had the crowds revved up. Jimmy Scearce of Danville swept both heat races setting up a run for the win in the feature when car trouble cut his chances of a win. There was a lot of room for excitement as the popu-

Jesse Gilley (car No. 121), the previous week’s winner. Perk and Jesse Gilley would have many more close races in the coming weeks. Perk became the only driver to win at the Draper racetrack under three different managements.

Perk Brown was on a win streak that would be imprinted forever into the minds of the local racing fans when he teamed up with William Mason of Bassett to drive his No.45.

Bill Mason was an exceptional engine builder that was nothing short of legendary at the local tracks. Mason supplied the two cars to the hottest local drivers of this time, Perk Brown and Carl Burris. On a win streak, Perk and Burris at one time finished 1st and 2nd respectively in seven straight races. At this point in time, they were the team to beat..

William Mason ran NASCAR sanctioned tracks only and when Bi-State flyers added the premier racing organization endorsement, it was only natural that Mason would turn up at Draper. After racing at Bowman Gray the night before, Mason made his debut at the banked quarter-mile track with confidence. His black and white No.45, along with the track experience of Perk Brown prevailed against a tough field.

William Mason continued to dominate the area’s small tracks well into the 60’s.

What a race! The fans were ecstatic about all the big boys being back in town and with the

Brown Continued From Page 34 advent of faster Chevrolet overhead valve engines in the modified class, the cars were taking another step in the future of racing. Racing was starting a new chapter in the world of circle tracks. The days of the venerable flathead Fords being the king of the hill was finally coming to an end.

Track promoter Al Lillard did not schedule another race the following Sunday because of the “World 600” at Charlotte. The Danville Bee newspaper run an ad for the next race to be held on June 26th. NASCAR sportsman and hobby(amateur) classes were

on the line up for this event again. After these successful NASCAR races, what followed took most by surprise. What happens when the omnipotent NASCAR comes in conflict with the track owners?

Nadias Haven of Hope Foundation Launches Shoe Collection Drive to Raise Money for Animal Rescue Shoe donations will also support micro-enterprises in developing nations and reduce what goes into landfill.

Nadias Haven Of Hope Foundation is conducting a shoe collection drive from May to June 14, 2016 to raise funds for animal rescue and vet care.

Nadias Haven Of Hope Foundation will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the animals in our care and the ones we will rescue in the future.

Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes by contacting us directly—we will organize a drop off or pick up location. Contact us via text 336653-6420 or email nadiashopefoundation@gmail.com.

All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations.

Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America

and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send her son to law school.

“We are excited about our shoe drive," said Susan Turner, Founder/President of Nadias Haven Of Hope Foundation. "We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Five Foods to Eat or Avoid for Healthy Vision MyEyeDr. encourages patients to try leafy greens, legumes, citrus and more for healthy eyes We have all heard that you eat with your eyes first, but what about the connection between what goes on our plate and how well we see? May is National Healthy Vision Month and MyEyeDr., a full-service optometric vision care company, is dishing about what to pick – and what to skip – for healthier eyes.

1. EAT: Dark, leafy greens There’s a reason that everyone from your mother to your nutritionist is telling you to eat more kale and spinach. Dark green vegetables are high in lutein and zeaxanthin, two nutrients found in healthy eyes. Eating these may lower your risk of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. If you can’t stomach kale; broccoli, spinach, romaine lettuce and peas are great substitutes.

2. EAT: Citrus Here’s an easy trick for remembering to eat citrus: Vitamin C helps you see! Grapefruits, tangerines, lemons and oranges are

bursting with this antioxidant that helps your eyes function and can help prevent or delay cataracts and AMD. 3. EAT: Legumes Legumes, including kidney beans, peanuts, black-eyed peas and more are rich in zinc, an essential trace mineral that protects eyes from light. Try kidney beans in kale salad for an eyehealthy lunch!

4.EAT: Carrots Rich in beta-carotene, carrots are a great addition to any eyehealthy diet. Beta-carotene helps form Vitamin A and thereby prevents cataracts and AMD. LIMIT: Sugar, salt and fried foods.

While delicious, high consumption of these types of foods has shown positive correlation with eye diseases like AMD. And every time you choose a bag of chips over a plate of veggies, you miss out on a serious nutrition burst for your eyes.

“Eating fast food and not enough fruits and vegetables means your eyes will be hungry for vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids,” said Dr. Artis Beatty, optometrist and vice

president of professional services at MyEyeDr. “Eating more healthy foods really can help prevent or manage many agerelated eye diseases. And, don’t forget to drink plenty of water.”

Healthy Vision Month, which occurs every May, focuses on eye protection, preventing vision loss and education about eye diseases.

About MyEyeDr. MyEyeDr. is a network of over 200 local optometry practices in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, D.C. and Delaware.

Each MyEyeDr. office offers comprehensive eye care services, a wide selection of designer and value prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses and standard and specialty prescription contact lenses. By accepting all vision insurance plans and providers, MyEyeDr. makes vision health attainable for all individuals. The full-service eye care management company is headquartered in Vienna, VA. For more information about MyEyeDr., visit www.myeyedr.com or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Unique Gift Every year on my birthday, I looked forward to my aunt’s gift— a scarf, hat, or sweater knitted by hand. One year, she must have had better things to do because I received a ball of yarn, knitting needles, and a how-to-knit book.

On April 20-23, 2016, more than 1,100 robotics teams from 30 nations gathered at the VEX Worlds Robotics Competition in Louisville, KY, to compete during three days of intense back-toback matches for the chance to become VEX World Champions.

In doing so, these 16,000 robotics teams broke the previously held Guinness World Records title for the largest robotics competition!

VEX Worlds, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation and the Northrop Grumman Foundation, is the culminating event of the robotics season.

Ultimately, teams from Canada, China, Puerto Rico, and USA battled for the gold. Just qualifying to compete in this competition places your team in the top 3% in the World. Morehead High School (MHS) and McMichael High School (DMHS) Robotics teams both qualified for this prestigious competition.

MHS Robotics is currently the highest ranking team in NC. They finished 69th in the Vex World Competition in their division. Considering the other 4 divisions, this places them in the top 350 or 2% of robots in the world. In their best match, the team won with a score of 262 260 which is a personal best for the Panthers.

DMHS finished 92nd in their division. When you carry that across the 5 total divisions they will end up being ranked approximately 460 of 16,000 in the world.

Congratulations to our Panthers and Phoenix Robotics Teams!

The VEX Robotics Championships will be televised on ESPN2 on July 20th at 9 pm.
