Voluntary recycling program no longer offered by company Bringing jobs and new manufacturing plant to area Facility, Jobs to Rockingham County Governor Cooper lauds move to bring 124 new jobs to Reidsville Pella Corporation, a leading manufacturer of window and door products for residential and commercial use, will create 124 jobs at its new manufacturing facility in Rockingham County, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. The company will invest nearly $20 million in the new operation and hiring will begin in the fourth quarter of 2019. "In North Carolina we’re proud of our manufacturing expertise and our skilled workforce that helps companies thrive here,” said Governor Cooper. “We’re excited to welcome Pella to Rockingham County and know they will find talented North Carolinians ready to get to work.” Founded in 1925, Pella is a family-owned company known for designing and building innovative window and door products. The company is headquartered in Pella, Iowa, and employs more than 7,000 people. “We are known for our core values including total integrity in everything we do, teamwork and respect, and giving back to our communities. After an extensive site selection process, we are confident that the Reidsville

Why Lidl will not open the Eden store Mike Dougherty, Director of Economic Dev., City of Eden

On Friday, May 17, 2019, Lidl Director of Communications, Will Harwood, contacted me to confirm that the Eden Lidl building will not open and would be leased or sold. Echoing the company press release issued the same day announcing twenty-five new Lidl locations, Harwood emphasized the company selecting places that were “convenient” to shoppers. Eden is quite “convenient” for shoppers. According to a 2018 ESRI (Environmental Services Research Institute) retail marketplace report, our city draws roughly double its demand in grocery store retail sales because consumers from Wentworth, Stoneville, Ridgeway, VA and other communities besides Eden shop the four supermarkets located here. Lidl operates 10,000+ grocery stores across Europe. They entered the U.S. market in 2015 by building several stores and opening an Alamance County, NC distribution center. In Europe, Lidl often competes head to head with Aldi, a no-frills, German grocer. Aldi has operated in the U.S. for more than 40 years, competing successfully in both small and large markets. I believe Lidl tried to mimic its competitor by locating in communities like Eden, Kinston, and Rockingham, NC.

Waste Management of Carolinas Inc. has notified the City of Reidsville it will no longer provide voluntary curbside recycling to local residents. Local residents contract directly with Waste Management for the service, as does the City of Reidsville for its facilities. In 2015 Reidsville and Eden were able to benefit from Rockingham County’s four-year franchise agreement with Waste Management, which picks up both the County’s trash and recycling. In October of 2016, the recycling program began with municipal residents paying $3.85 per month for the every-other-week service. A $2.50 charge was added if a customer wanted a second cart. In March of 2019 as the County and Waste Management took steps to renew their franchise agreement, City officials learned the company was only willing to offer the continued service in Reidsville if at least 525 of the current 618 homes subscribed for the service remained on board. The new cost would be $11.05 per month. If the numbers dropped below 525, the program would be unsustainable for the company. Another condition was that the two parties would not be operating under an annual contract but instead, either

a workforce ready to roll up their sleeves.” The North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of N.C. (EDPNC) led the state’s support for the company’s expansion. Pella will create a variety of positions in Rockingham County, and the average salaries will be $41,648, above the county average of $35,401. Pella’s expansion in Rockingham County will be facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee. Over the course of the 12-year term of this grant, the project will grow the state’s economy by an estimated $247 million. Using a formula that takes into account the new tax revenues generated by the new jobs, the JDIG agreement authorizes the potential reimbursement to the company of up to $1,214,000 spread over 12 years. State payments only occur following performance verification by the departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its incremental job creation and investment targets. JDIG projects result in positive net tax revenue to the state treasury, even after taking into consideration the grant’s reimbursement payments to a given company. “This is a day for celebrating in Rockingham County,” said President Pro Tempore Senator Phil Berger. “North Carolina is growing, and these jobs will provide an opportunity for many residents and their families to have a better quality of life.” “Today’s announcement is great news for our community,” said Rep Jerry Carter. “We welcome companies like Pella and know they will find success here.” Partnering with N.C. Commerce and the EDPNC on this project were the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Development Board, Rockingham County Schools, Rockingham County, and the City of Reidsville.

Lidl... Continued from Page 1 In 2018, Lidl halted the construction of the Eden store when its sales did not come close to projections, especially in smaller markets. The Lidl CEO later described the U.S. launch as “disastrous.” A June 12, 2018 Food Navigator-USA.com article by Elaine Watson reported that a

Voluntary Recycling Ends...

Dallas, TX based developer had filed suit against Lidl for reneging on its plans to open stores in three NC cities. One hundred stores were scheduled to open in 2018, but only twenty were completed. The twenty-five new store locations recently announced are all located in either densely populated northeastern communities or larger towns, such as Cary and Greensboro, NC. They will close the Rockingham, NC and Kinston, NC stores, communities

with populations of 9,080 and 20,923 respectively. The direction of the company tells the tale—they are only thriving in larger markets and that is where efforts will be focused at least for the near future. One hopes they solve their U.S. issues. In the meantime, the City of Eden Economic Development Department will work with them to lease or sell the building. It is a well-constructed facility in a prime location.

Continued from Page 1 party could end the agreement with a 30-day notice due to the changing state of the recyclables market. However, the day before Reidsville City Council was to hear a presentation by Public Works Director Chuck Smith on the subject at their May 7th Council meeting, Smith learned that Waste Management would no longer be offering those same conditions. He explained service options are limited with the possibility of contracted dumpster service at the Material Dropoff Center located on Marcellus Street being the most viable, but certainly not the least expensive. City officials have been told much of the problem with the recyclables market stems from China’s decision to start stopping all shipments of recyclables from the United States. The country discontinued much of the recycling stream about two years ago when stringent regulations were put into place for contaminated materials. While Waste Management officials indicate they remain committed to recycling efforts, the company says it cannot control market pricing and the cost for materials sold. Also, companies that handle recycling products are limiting the type of recyclable material they will accept, such as glass and plastic. Drop-off sites will have to be manned to ensure there isn’t cross-contamination of material as these loads will not be accepted by the recycling companies. Smith informed Council that several cities and counties have discontinued offering recycling services of any kind due to escalating costs and diminishing commodities market for the material. The issue is finding a facility to accept the recyclable material once collected. The Public Works Director explained that he has talked to companies interested in hauling the recyclable material; however, those companies would rely on the City to find a facility that has the plant capacity to accept and process the material. Only a handful of such facilities exist, including the one belonging to Waste Management. City officials are continuing to research the issue and attempting to come up with suitable alternatives. The link to the discussion at the May 7th Reidsville City Council meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=sOBK9OqxEPs&feature=yout u.be. Fast forward about 51 minutes into the meeting coverage to get to the recycling discussion.

Teachers C.S. Lawncare of the Year Molithia Spencer Ms. Molithia Spencer won Teacher of the Year for teaching 3rd and 4th grade at Stoneville Elementary School. Currently she is their Media Coordinator. Molithia attended UNC Willmington, graduating with a BA in Elementary Education, and a concentration in Psychology. "I was excited to have the opportunity to train a student teacher for the first time. Being a mentor rejuvenated me in my current role, making my teaching stronger and more reflective," she says. She has 22 years of teaching experience! Besides teaching last year, she was also Lead Mentor Teacher and Digital Learning Coach. According to Molithia, "Every year I have signed up for workshops and training to enhance my ability to teach. I have sought out ways to better reach my students in reading and math. I never want to be viewed as a stagnant teacher, one that pulls out her binder and does the same thing year after year." In 5th grade, her teacher took the time to discover that Molithia was not behind in reading, but actually an advanced reader. Until the fifth grade, she hated school. "According to my fourth grade teacher, I was reading on a second grade reading level and behind in all academic areas." Because of that teacher, she went from hating reading to LOVING to read. She tries to reach each student academically and emotionally. She has found that journal writing during the first weeks of school bolsters their relationship. And, although she considers herself to be strict, she is understanding. She says, "Differentiation is key in a successful classroom. Understanding that a student with behavior concerns may need to separate themselves from the group or an autistic student may need to walk and flap to regain focus, is crucial to meeting that student where they are. Treating everyone the same does not allow for individual uniqueness to shine through." Although she has stepped away from teaching, her mentees can carry on her work! Julie Dooley Mrs. Julie Dooley is a Kindergarten Teacher at Leaksville-Spray. Julie is a proud native of Rockingham County and spent her school years in Eden schools. Julie received an Associate of Arts from RCC, and then went on to graduate from UNC-Charlotte with a BA in Elementary Education K-6. She has served on various committees and attended many trainings. Julie comes from a family of educators who instilled the importance

Lawn Treatments Mowing Mulching Pine Needles Seeding Hedging Fertilizing Leaf Removal Charles Seal, Owner cslandscaping78@gmail.com

336-280-5153 of education in her. Seeing her father's students tell him how he impacted their lives and inspired her to teach. As well as having many teachers that made school enjoyable for her. "I wanted to show excitement for teaching and see students get excited about learning. I want to go beyond academics with the impact I made in each life I touched," she says. One of Julie's greatest contributions to her classroom is her passion. She says, "I am always open to new ideas, suggestions for improvement, and consider myself to be a strong collaborator. And, one thing that I believe makes me an outstanding teacher is my classroom organization and management system. A classroom that is not organized can hinder students and make it more difficult for students to focus and complete tasks. Routine practices, structure, and consistency are all key to my classroom success." Julie's philosophy is that "kindergarten is the foundation for all other grades." She enjoys their eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, and love for learning. Julie is fostering just that in her classroom! Susan Knight Ms Susan Knight is a 1st grade teacher at Dillard Academy. Susan went to a private Christian college, Emmanuel College, in Franklin Springs, GA where she earned an Associate's degree. Then Susan graduated from UNCG with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She has worked at Dillard since she began teaching and says, "I love it here!" In addition to classroom work, Susan has also served on the PBIS committee, Connect Team, and helps with the Go Far Club with the students. " The greatest factor than influenced me to become a teacher was my personal relationship with Jesus. I became a Christian in my early teens, and I know that God began preparing made then for becoming a teacher. I know that this is his plan for my life, and 'teaching is they divine calling for me'." This year, Susan, along with the help of some other great teachers started a new club at Dillard Academy. They began The Good News Club and have about 70 students that are members! They teach Bible lessons to the students, sing songs, learn memory verses, and play games. According to Susan, "the club has been such a great asset to our school. It has really meant a lot to me and been a huge blessing." Susan also says, "one of the most inspiring rewards is

watching students reach out and help their peers without even being asked. When a student is more concerned about others than themselves, that is truly amazing . I had a student this year that always looked for ways to take care of everyone else in the class. She inspired me to be a better person and teacher. My life's montre is, 'the best is yet to come'! We can't wait to see what she does next!" Elizabeth Smith Ferris |Ms. Elizabeth Smith Ferris is a kindergarten teacher at Huntsville Elementary School. Elizabeth started her education in the computer and IT fields. She soon realized that she was on the wrong path. She felt a pull toward teaching. "I truly think that I did not choose to become a teacher; teaching chose me! I had no clue how a person even became a teacher. I filled out my application and started my journey. I was hired as a teacher assistant and worked with amazing mentors who helped chart my career and encouraged me as I returned to school. That was 18 years ago, and I am still just as passionate about teaching today as I was when I began as a teacher assistant." She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies at UNCG graduating Summa Cum Laude! She also has her NC Teacher Licensure B-K. Her list of outside of the classroom duties is long, but includes United Way Coordinator, Mentor Teacher, and SILT Member among others. She said, "I feel that touching children’s lives with caring, kindness and love can have the biggest impact on their academic success. I love to see my former students come back to just talk or tell me about what is happening in their lives." Elizabeth's philosophy is "once that relationship is established, I know that I can use my bond with each student to foster and encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning skills and prepare my students to function effectively in other learning environments. As for my teaching style and tapping into each child’s learning style, I use a variety of teaching methods such as dance and movement, chants and songs, hands on activities, etc. I also try to make sure that the lessons are high interest for my young students so that they are excited and engaged in learning."

Health Tips:

UNC Rockingham Health Care Earns 'A' Safety Leapfrog Score Spring 2019 hospital scores released today by The Leapfrog Group give UNC Rockingham Health Care an 'A' grade. The top score acknowledges the Eden hospital's work in protecting patients and delivering excellent care. "Advancing patient care is a priority at UNC Rockingham," said Dana M Weston, president and CEO of the Eden hospital. "I'm proud of our team and its commitment to quality care and patient safety." Developed under the guidance of a National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Guide uses 28 publicly available safety measures to assign A-F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade"s methodology is peer-reviewed and transparent, and the results are free to the public.

To earn an "A" grade, hospitals must demonstrate that protecting patients from preventable medical harm is a top priority. "A strong focus on safety results in lower infection rates, fewer patient falls and decreased surgical errors. It takes every team members" engagement to make this happen, " said JoAnn Smith, Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President of Patient Care Services at UNC Rockingham.

Eden Main Street Champions Named Congratulations to Faye and Terry Shelton for becoming Eden’s 2019 Main Street Champions. At the March North Carolina Main Street conference located in Salisbury, Faye & Terry Shelton received the recognition for their extensive work on the building located at 722 Washington Street. Faye and Terry Shelton are both owners and brokers of Five Star Realty. In January of 2011, the company was established in a small rental building on the outskirts of Eden. When a local bank consolidation caused a downtown branch to close and stand empty for eighteen months, they were attracted to the open look of the space as well as realizing the value and visibility of a downtown property. They purchased the building in March of 2017 then performed extensive renovations that complement the space. As a result of this move, their business has grown considerably; adding five new employees. They also give back to the community, between them serving the local Municipal Service District, Community Appearance Committee, and Eden Downtown Development Corporation Boards of Directors. For their extensive commitment to the community, Eden is proud to Congratulations to Faye have Faye and Terry Shelton its and Terry Shelton for 2019 Main Street Champions. becoming Eden’s 2019 Main Street Champions

Hay Fever Season Is Here – Need Relief

Tree pollen levels have already reached high levels in the South in mid-March while the Northeast and Midwest got a few weeks’ reprieve, thanks to cool weather. With ample moisture in the spring though, regardless of where you live, hay fever season is now in full swing. If your spring allergy symptoms feel worse than they have in past years, you’re not alone. As carbon dioxide levels have increased, pollen-produced plants have thrived. Chalk up another win for climate change! What happens when you have allergies? You’re sitting at your desk surrounded by spent tissues while your cubical mate is happily breathing away with nary a sniffle. What gives? Lucky you, you have a hyper-sensitive immune system. Your immune system recognizes pollen as a foreign agent and attacks by releasing histamine into your blood stream. Histamines set off an immune or inflammatory response. How relentless the attack depends on your body. You could be one of the lucky ones with just a little eye redness–or you could be a snorting, sneezing, wheezing, eye-scratching mess! You’ve never had hay fever before? Don’t relax just yet – you can develop allergies as an adult, particularly if you move to a different location with new allergens. The reverse is true as well. Just because you have suffered from allergies as a kid, doesn’t mean they can’t improve or disappear as you age. In fact, research shows the more we are exposed to a variety of allergens, particularly as children, the better our chances to fight them off. So, skip the antibacterial soaps, let the kids play in the mud, get them a pet, and of course, make sure they get their recommended immunizations. Reducing your exposure: Just because you are one of the unlucky 50 million Americans who suffer from seasonal allergies doesn’t mean you have to lock yourself inside until next winter. Keep windows closed and give your home a thorough spring cleaning to reduce exposure: • Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter • Change air filters in heating and cooling units • Clean duct work • Wipe down walls • Move furniture to clean hard-to-reach places where dust gathers • Get rid of dust-collecting clutter • Wash curtains, throws and bedding • Wash bed pillows and stuffed animals in hot water to eliminate dust mites (don’t forget your pets’ beds!) • Scrub visible mold from basements, bathrooms and kitchen including under the sink • Clean sconces, chandeliers and other lights • Thoroughly vacuum your mattress • Hire a service to clean your upholstery • Wear a mask while cleaning or hire a cleaning service Finding relief There are a variety of pills, shots and nasal sprays to help, from over-the-counter (OTC) remedies to prescription medications. So how do you find the one that is right for you? If spring allergies are leading to symptoms that include sinus pressure or infections, wheezing or shortness of breath, a trip to your doctor is in order. If you are unsure what exactly is setting off your allergic reactions, your doctor may send you to a specialist to help identify the culprit. For the bulk of allergy sufferers, however, a consultation with your pharmacist may be enough to find relief. OTC remedies will depend on your symptoms. We’re here to help: If you are suffering from seasonal allergies and not sure of the best remedy to alleviate your symptoms, your local Health Mart pharmacist is always here to help! Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

Rockingham Get Fit Eden, a summer fitness program that has existed in Eden, NC since 2014 expanded last year into Get Fit Rockingham. The program will include the communities of Eden, Madison, Mayodan, Reidsville and Stoneville. The Eden program began with 600 participants and grew to more than 1,000 in fewer than four years. That prompted Eden Main Street Manager Randy Hunt to seek a Kate B. Reynolds Community Trust grant to expand the program to encompass the major Rockingham County communities. Funding for the program was approved in May of 2018. Gildan Activewear donated 2800 T-shirts to cover the initial county residents who participated in the inaugural 2018 program. This year’s kick-off events will be Saturday, June 1, 2018 at 9:00am in each section of the county. There will be periodic prize drawings to encourage citizens to participate in this year’s program. Several organizations have agreed to provide free sessions to encourage participants to explore fitness programs. Those include the Eden, Madison-Mayodan and Reidsville YMCAs, the Eden and Reidsville Senior Centers and Reidsville and MadisonMayodan Parks and Recreation Departments. To register for the program, visit the following areas: Eden - Eden Chamber of Commerce, 678 S.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Linda Hill Recognized as Outstanding Volunteer by Commissioners Linda Hill was recognized at the April 15th Rockingham County Commissioners’ meeting as one of Rockingham County’s Outstanding Volunteers. Chairman Reece Pyrtle invited Ms. Hill to come forward as he summarized the attributes listed on the nomination application for Hill submitted by colleague, Hill Ms.Terry Witty. Hill has been involved with Cooperative Extension most of her life and has been an active member of the Cooperative Extension Volunteers for well over 20 years, where she serves as Treasurer for the North Star Club. Some may remember it being called the “Homemakers Club.” She has many talents including knitting and crochet. Linda is also skilled at quilting and tirelessly teaches her crafts to others. For many years, she has spearheaded the Cooperative Extension Volunteer's Annual Fall Fair, to which she also donates one of her handmade quilts to be raffled off during the fair. The proceeds from the quilt raffle goes toward scholarships for Rockingham County high school students to further their education. Hill can also be a quiet advocate for Rockingham County's youth; subtly introducing them to the fact that clothes were not always simply purchased from a store or from online. For several years, she taught 4-H summer campers all about sewing and just how hard it could be to make an outfit using a bolt of cloth, a needle or two, and some thread. After sewing for several days, she hopes students are less likely to take for granted the simple act of buying a shirt. Knowing how hard someone may have worked to make the clothes you have on can be humbling and perhaps even carry a life lesson. In addition to volunteering for Cooperative Extension, Hill is also a current member of the Cooperative Extension Advisory Committee where she remains an active participant.

The Leadership Rockingham class began in September of 2018 and ended on May 8th with a graduation ceremony held at Pennrose Park Country Club in Reidsville. During the 2018-2019 season the group toured each section of Rockingham County to learn about their industry, government, food and people. The teams discussed projects they would complete by the end of the year. The term “Leadership Rocks the Streets” was created to acknowledge their efforts all over the county. The groups delivered meals on wheels to local residents, walked shelter dogs as well as taking on the task of building a functional chicken coop at the Rockingham County Animal Shelter. Another initiative was the planning of “Pastries with Principals” which was held at Holmes Middle School. The final project was fire hydrant painting on Henry St. in downtown Eden. LR participants spent many sessions in a classroom setting with Motivational Speaker “Elaine Penn”. The group will use the skills they attained during Leadership Rockingham throughout

Schools Receive Grant to Expand Mental Health Services for Students Rockingham County Schools was selected as only one of three school districts in the state by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Exceptional Children Division as a recipient of the Project AWARE/ACTIVATE Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Dr. Stephanie Ellis, current Executive Director of Exceptional Children, submitted information for Rockingham County Schools to be considered for this grant of over 2.6 million dollars. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction engaged in a selection criteria process and Rockingham County Schools was selected for this wonderful opportunity! The purpose of the entire grant is to implement supports and services for students across the mental health continuum. The purpose of the grant is to develop models of mental health supports within the school districts selected. Rockingham County Schools will serve as a model for the rest of the state as we work collaboratively with community partners, the NC Department of Public Instruction, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, Division of Mental Health, and the NC Department of Health and Human Services to improve and expand the health, well-being, and safety of students and staff. Dr. Rodney Shotwell states, “This grant will give us resources to support the growing mental health needs of our students. This grant will be of great benefit to our community, students, and families as we increase awareness, services, and supports in the area of mental health.” Given this recent award, the school district is engaging in some strategic alignment of job responsibilities and duties in order to ensure that students are served more extensively in the area of mental health and safety. Therefore, Dr. Stephanie Ellis, current Executive Director of Exceptional Children will now be the Executive Director of Behavioral Health, Crisis Intervention, and Student Safety. Dr. Ellis has extensive background in the areas of mental health, crisis intervention, and safety. Dr. Ellis completed her doctorate degree in Educational Leadership from High Point University with her focus in her dissertation work on school safety threat assessment. She was awarded the 2016 National School Psychologist Award by the National Association of School Psychologists and in 2015 was awarded the State School Psychologist of the Year by the North Carolina School Psychology Association. She was also recently acknowledged in May 2019 at the North Carolina State Board of Education for her work in the field of school psychology and school safety. Dr. Ellis is also a PREPaRE Trainer which is a national crisis

curriculum specifically for schools developed by the National Association of School Psychologists in collaboration with law enforcement and mental health professionals. She also speaks and trains others regularly at state conferences on the area of mental health, crisis intervention, and school safety. Dr. Pam Watkins, current Exceptional Children Program Coordinator, will serve as the Interim Director of Exceptional Children Programs. Dr. Watkins has extensive training in curriculum and special education. She recently received her doctorate from Virginia Tech in the area of curriculum and instruction. She also was awarded the 2014 Exceptional Children Educator of Excellence Award by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Dr. Deirdre Moyer, current Student Health Coordinator, will now serve as the Student and Family Health Education and Engagement Coordinator. Dr. Moyer has training in public health and education. She will serve as a parent liaison and will work to increase parent engagement for the area of mental health and wellness. She will also work with Dr. Ellis to increase awareness and education about substance abuse and mental health. Dr. Moyer recently completed her doctorate in health education from Walden University in December 2018. Dr. Corcoran, Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Support Services, indicates that “The strategic alignment of our department allows us to meet the growing needs of our students. We are in need of a focus on mental health, crisis intervention, and student safety in order to support the whole child. Our approach with Dr. Ellis’ position to increase mental health supports and focus on school safety is critical for our district.” Over many years, Rockingham County Schools has been working in the area of mental health. Through community partners that serve on our Rockingham County Schools Mental Health Advisory, we have developed a strategic plan for building a full continuum of mental health supports in Rockingham County. Dr. Ellis states, “We look forward to our implementation of this strategic plan for mental health and student safety. This grant will give us a wealth of resources to support the mental health needs of our students. School safety is truly a balance of physical and psychological safety and this grant provides resources that will benefit our students and community. We are truly blessed to have been selected for this grant to support the growing needs of our students.” Call Eden’s Own Journal featuring the Rockingham County Star for all your advertisement needs: 336-627-9234

ADTS Notifies Public of Security Incident

Mon - Fri 9-5 Sat. 9-12

513 S. Fieldcrest Rd., Eden, NC 27288 Street • Off Road • ATV’s • Machine Shop • Sales & Service

On May 9th, 2019 Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County (ADTS) experienced a disruption in their internal Information Technology systems. Although it initially appeared that the incident was isolated to a small number of computers and the email system, it was later confirmed that the organization’s server had been

infected with ransomware, a specific type of malware that encrypts files on a system. Although we are unaware of any acquisition or misuse of information related to this incident, regulations were recently tightened to reclassify this type of attack as a HIPPA ‘breach.’ As such, this incident requires notices and disclosures to those

James R. Walker R. Martin Melvin Seth M. Woodall Samuele J. Viscuso

who could be affected. The information at risk as a result of this incident includes names, addresses, contact details, social security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance numbers, medical diagnoses and treatment details. ADTS Executive Director, Cathy Powers states “As an accredited nonprofit organization, we strive to deliver highquality services and are committed to protecting the personal information for our clients and employees. We are now working with TruShield, a team of experts that deal specifically with cyber threats and attacks. The incident is being thoroughly investigated and we have taken immediate action to reinforce existing security measures, and rebuild with enhanced protections in place to mitigate any future risks.” A security breach happens when data or records containing personal information, such as Social Security numbers, credit card or bank account numbers or driver’s license numbers are lost, stolen or accessed improperly. This kind of information can be used by criminals to commit identity theft. Being notified that your information was part of a

ADTS... Continued on page 15

JUNE 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 15 #

ADTS... Continued from page 14 security breach does not necessarily mean you’ll become a victim of identity theft. However, you are at greater risk and need to take steps to protect yourself. The NC Attorney General recommends taking the following steps to protect your information: Step 1: Check affected accounts If the security breach involved credit cards, debit cards or specific accounts, check your statements for those accounts immediately. If you see any activity that you did not authorize, contact the bank or company that services the account immediately to report the fraud. You should also request a new credit or debit card with a different number and change any PINs or passwords for the account. Step 2: Sign Up for Free Services

Some businesses or government agencies offer security breach victims a free service such as credit monitoring. While most offers are genuine, don’t provide private information without verifying that the credit monitoring service is legitimate. Step 3: Notify the Credit Bureaus Request a fraud alert from one of the credit bureaus. This tells banks and other creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before issuing credit in your name. A fraud alert is free and will last 90 days unless you request an extended seven-year fraud alert and provide a police report You’ll also get a free copy of your credit report, which you should review carefully. To request a fraud alert, contact one of the three nationwide credit bureaus. Equifax 1-800-525-6285 Experian 1-888-397-3742 TransUnion 1-800-680-7289 Step 4: Consider a Security Freeze

Pam Holland's daughter, Jessica McVey and her husband Matthew McVey accepting on Pam's behalf.

Former Rockingham County 4-H Volunteer Honored with NC 4-H Hall of Fame Award N. C. Cooperative Extension Rockingham County Center is proud to announce the recognition of Mrs. Pam Holland as a 2019 NC 4-H Hall of Fame recipient. Holland was honored posthumously for her achievements as a 4-H volunteer at a very special award ceremony in Greensboro on April 6. Holland joined eight other honorees from across the state. “The 4-H Hall of Fame honors individuals who have demonstrated their love of 4-H through excellence in citizenship, leadership, character and career accomplishments,” said NC State Extension’s Mike Yoder, associate director and state program leader of 4-H. “Hall of Famers herald 4-H’s values of clear thinking, loyalty, service and meaningful life.” Pam Holland was a Rockingham County 4-H volunteer for 16 years before her passing. She dedicated countless hams, dollars and hard work to the NC 4-H Horse Program. She served on the North Central District 4-H Horse Advisory Council and on the North Carolina 4-H Horse Advisory Council. Holland was a true

advocate for the 4-H program and loved working with the youth who quickly became her family. She dedicated her life to the 4-H Horse Program and we are so thankful for all the work that she did to ensure our youth have a bright future. 4-H has a rich history in North Carolina having officially started here in 1926. However, 4H was actually established in 1909 as a “corn club” for boys and “tomato club” for girls. Since those early years, 4-H has grown to be the leader in STEM education for youth, proving to be a flexible organization that pairs content and programming with the individual needs of youth in North Carolina’s 100 counties. 4H is administered through N.C. Cooperative Extension, whose mission is solely focused on enriching the lives, land and economy of our state. In Rockingham County, 4-H youth join clubs that focus on leadership, electric, horse, robotics, livestock and so much more. Contact Morgan Maness, 4-H agent for the N.C. Cooperative Extension Rockingham County Center for more information about Rockingham County 4-H.

A security freeze stops access to new credit in your name. Placing a security freeze prohibits credit reporting agencies from releasing any information about you to new creditors without your approval, making it difficult for an identity thief to use your information to open an account or obtain credit. North Carolina consumers can now get free security freezes online. Identity theft victims who have filed a police report, their spouses, and consumers over the age of 62 can also get free security freezes by mail or phone. Other consumers can get security freezes by mail or phone for a fee. Under a new North Carolina law, parents and guardians can shield their children's credit report with a special Protected Consumer security freeze. This law can also be used to protect the credit reports of incapacitated adults. Step 5: Monitor Your Credit Continue to review your credit reports every few months. Your private information that was released in the security breach may not be used right away. You can request a free credit report annually. Notifying Law Enforcement Most law enforcement will not issue you a police report until your private information is actually used by an ID thief. If you have any suspicion that your information is being used by a thief, contact local law enforcement immediately. ADTS remains dedicated to the integrity and quality of our services and to the security of all protected information. ADTS has established a dedicated assistance line for individuals seeking additional information regarding this incident. If you have questions or concerns, please contact 1-800-674-6920.

Following 35 Boating Fatalities in 2018, Wildlife Commission Urges Safety In response to a stark increase in boating-related fatalities in 2018, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission urges all North Carolinians to practice safe habits while on the water this summer. A total of 35 people lost their lives due to boating accidents last year, the highest number of vessel-related fatalities since 1990. Twenty-nine of the victims were not wearing a life vest. “Life jackets should be put on before you enter the boat,” said Maj. Ben Meyer. “Accidents happen fast and there may not be time, even for the strongest swimmers, to put one on in the event of an emergency. Wearing a life jacket can mean the difference between a tragedy and a fun day on the water.” It is important to wear a Coast Guard-approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or life jacket at all times when boating or on a personal watercraft. A properly fitted life jacket is snug, yet comfortable, and will not move above the chin or ears when lifted at the shoulders. More information on life jacket safety can be found at ncwildlife.org/preserveyourlife. With warmer weather on the horizon and boating season ramping up, the Commission offers these tips to help boaters remain safe on the water: Appoint a designated driver for the boat. Driving a boat under the influence of alcohol is illegal. Alcohol makes it difficult to drive safely, see objects in the water and ensure the safety of those on board. Assign an adult “Water Watcher” to actively supervise the children in or around the water at all times. A Water Watcher’s role is to focus on watching the water without the distractions of activities, such as socializing, texting, fishing, drinking and reading. Young children and people who are not strong swimmers should always be kept within arm’s reach. Only swim in designated swimming areas. Swimming in open water can lead to increased risk as you are less visible to boaters. Avoid diving in areas that are unfamiliar as there may be hidden boulders, stumps and pilings. Throw, don’t go. Be prepared to throw a floatation device or use a pole or tree branch to reach someone struggling in the water. Never jump in to save someone, because you could be pulled under, too. Attend a Boater Safety Course. Any person born on or after

1st Place Essay - Senior Literary Arts Shelby By Linda Snow

When she came to live with us in 2006, she already had a name, Shelby. Not being enamored of that name, we decided to give her a new name, one we liked, one more fitting her personality. When you name something you have dominion over it. We tried on names such as Thunder, Phantom, Pharaoh, Citation, Harriet, Sonic and Ally (short for Alacritous). It soon became apparent no other name than Shelby suited her because no one was ever going to truly own Shelby. She has a mind of her own and is in charge of her destiny. It's a battle of your will over hers to stay on top of her, keep her grounded, and prevent her from going over the edge. Pete had wanted a Shelby Cobra as far back as the '60s when Carroll Shelby was building and breaking records racing them. But there were mortgages, children who needed college educations and the time was just never right. And it was too late to buy one because at the Barrett-Jackson Auction House people were paying over a million dollars for an authentic Shelby Cobra. The one Pete had his eye on was a Superformance Replicar licensed by Carroll Shelby. The

1st Place Life Experience Stagger On, Rejoicing By Marilyn Trivett

Who among us is where they planned to be now that they've grown old? I think there are few of us senior citizens who are exactly where we planned to be at this age. I don't think any of us got married with plans to divorce after some years. Nor did we plann to suffer from illnesses or for our spouses to pass away. We were strong, healthy, and young. We had the world by the tail and were ready for life. And we had plans. Looking back on my life I realize that I did achieve a few of the things that I planned but mostly there were twists and turns that I never could have anticipated or imagined. There have been hard times and there have been outrageously wonderful times. And I realize that the hard times are where I learned the most. I am certainly not where I planned to be, but that doesn't mean I'm not in a good place. I am reminded of the essay Emily Kingsley wrote in 1987 when people kept asking her what it was like to have a handicapped child. The essay tells about preparing to visit Italy, packing the proper clothing for Italy, buying tour books, planning the sites you will visit, buying your ticket, whatever you would normally do to visit Italy.

rollers (chassis and body) are manufactured in South Africa and shipped to America where the engine and transmission are installed. Shelby Cobra Superformance cars are all numbered, today's Shelby Cobras numbering in the 3300's. Pete's is number 685. She is Wimbledon white with Viper blue stripes from front to back and a red rookie stripe over the driver's side fender. She's long in the front with an oval grill forming a jaunty open mouth smile that makes you wonder, "what she’s thinking?" Two front mounted fans cool her enormous engine. Remembering his days after Pearl Harbor when he was a flight instructor, Carroll Shelby designed her cockpit after the planes he used in the training of bomber pilots. She has a small wind screen with wind wings. Equipped with a roll bar, she’s designed to offer a modicum of protection should the driver make an error and flip her over. Entering her is not like getting into any other vehicle you've ever known. Approaching her cautiously, you step wide over the hot side pipes lest she bite you leaving a nasty leg burn. Standing in the leather bucket seat, you grab on to the dashboard and lower yourself into position. There's no mundane hooking of the seat belt in Shelby; rather, you engage the shoulder harness. Her voluptuous rear end is reminiscent of

a woman's curves as she widens out and rolls over two red tail lights and a pair of black quick jacks. Shelby smells like a wild, exotic animal. Her perfume is a rich heady mix of high octane propulsion fuel that will make you giddy. With her 427 Windsor, when you pop her into 1st gear, let off the clutch and hit the gas, she crouches like a wild mountain lioness gathering her strength. Her huge tires anchor their grip before she pounces into the air, roaring forward at a ferocious speed leaving only a contrail as evidence she was ever there. She comes to life when you fire her up like a clap of thunder that can be heard across mountains and valleys for miles. Magnetic ions in the air are supercharged. Gravity loses its pull and succumbs to her power. To be in her is to feel like you're sitting on top of a powder keg as her mighty engine rumbles to life sending waves of raw energy up through your torso, into your chest and out to your limbs that quake in response. Your heart races, your eyes water, your hair blows, you tremble with excitement. Every fiber of your being is alive. She'll suck the feathers out of your down parka and toss your hat as an offering to the gods that rule the Tail of the Dragon. Her engine is so loud you can't talk but that doesn't matter because the shared joy of being in her marvelous presence

You get on a plane and get settled and when the flight lands, the airline pilot announces "welcome to Holland." Holland is a wonderful place, but it's probably not as glitzy as Italy and you won't see the Sistine Chapel. It's completely different, but the essay goes on to say Holland has tulips and windmills. Our lives are seldom exactly what we looked forward to but that doesn't mean they haven't been good. The essay goes on to say that if you spend your life mourning that you didn't get to Italy, you may never have the freedom to be able to enjoy the wonderful things about Holland. I read an article written by Kelsey Grammar. He tells about his father getting killed and his grandfather dying when he was 15. He ran across the line from a poem by Auden that says "stagger on, rejoicing." This became his mantra. As life progressed with Kelsey his sister was killed and his two 1/2 brothers died in a scuba accident. He spent some time crying out to God and heard God say, "I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to help you" and Kelsey took courage from that and 'staggered on, rejoicing'. I am sure his life was not what he planned. As a student of Juilliard School in New York, Kelsey was homeless and slept in Central Park for a while. He lived on the $60 a month he got from Social Security because of his father's death. But he tells of the kindness of others and he 'staggered

on, rejoicing'. And so, as we reflect on our lives and where we are now opposed to what we had planned we can look at the tulips and the windmills in our lives and rejoice for the good things. We can remember and enjoy the good things and think about the hard times and value them for the lessons we learned from them. I read a quoate on Facebook that said 'never let the sadness of your past or the fear of the future dim your happiness today'. And, knowing God is here to help us, we can 'stagger on, rejoicing'. Or, as in my case, we can do a little Snoopy dance and then stagger on, rejoicing. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

and under her hypnotic spell is the only communication needed. Her greatest sport is to run the track at Road Atlanta or Virginia International Raceway. Put her behind a pace car and she threatens to run up its tailpipe. Stomp down on her brakes before entering the curve and she'll respond as slick as a whistle, fish tailing smoothly through it like an aquatic acrobat. Straightening out, she attacks the straight-a-way and against all track rules challenges the pace car to overtake the lead. Shelby is an audacious flirt who knows no strangers. Men honk their horns, follow her for miles and pull out their cell phones to snap photos; strike up a conversation asking, "what do you feed that monster?”; drawn to get close enough to stroke her fenders and be near her for just a few minutes. Women and small children stop and gape at her in awe and wonder. Drawn to her like a reincarnated Marilyn Monroe, people just want to be near her. They will tell all their friends about her and remember her forever. She is an awesome, sensuous, exhilarating, raw wonder to behold. She's a Shelby Cobra by Superformance. And she belongs to my Pete, his dream come true.

Drop Port Sites Eliminated & Recycling Center Hours of Operation Expanded Effective June 1, all six of the recycling drop port sites located throughout the city will be closed and all recyclables can be dropped off at our recycling center that is located at 123 Mebane Bridge road. The recyclables allowed consist of the following: plastic containers, mixed paper, used oil, batteries, cardboard, aluminum cans and tin cans. We DO NOT accept tires. Our Mebane Bridge site is currently being renovated to better handle the recycling material and ease of access. In addition, the site will have longer hours of operation. As of June 1, the recycling center will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday thru Sunday. The facility will be closed on Mondays and will be closed in observance of 11 holidays throughout the course of the year. According to the NC Department of Environmental Quality, the City of Eden is only

allowed to accept recycling material from Eden residents. As such, we will be furnishing a vehicle sticker to Eden residents the first time they visit the site to drop off their recyclables. Once residency has been verified, a sticker will be given to the resident. The sticker must be displayed in the right rear of their vehicle. Each sticker will be numbered and assigned to that vehicle only. If a resident needs more than one sticker, for other vehicles they own, that vehicle must be driven to the site on a subsequent visit to the recycling center in order to be registered to receive a recycling sticker. Anyone caught dumping at the drop port sites after the drop port sites have been closed is susceptible to being charged for illegal dumping. For additional questions regarding any of these issues, please call 336-627-7781 ext. 103 or email Dusty Curry, Superintendent of Solid Waste at dcurry@edennc.us.

Leapfrog honors Annie Penn & Wesley Long Annie Penn Hospital and Wesley Long Hospital were awarded A’s from The Leapfrog Group’s spring 2019 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. The designation recognizes efforts in protecting patients from harm and providing safer health care. The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization committed to improving health care quality and safety for consumers and purchasers. The Safety Grade assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to hospitals based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to patients in their care. Annie Penn Hospital and Wesley Long Hospital were among several Cone Health hos-

pitals named to the top 5% in the nation for patient safety by Healthgrades. “The winner in all of this is our patients,” says Bruce Swords, MD, PhD, chief physician executive, Cone Health. “Every physician, every nurse, every employee who supports them, all want to provide the safest care possible to every patient. It’s great to see that so many organizations realize that the safest care is found at Cone Health.” Developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year.

70th Anniversary of Draper Speedway Inc. By Darrell Meade Gregory

In 1949 a bold move was made to build the Tri-Cities first automobile race track. Draper businessmen John East Jr. and Luther Lemons formed Draper Speedway Inc. Under advice from Clay Earles of Martinsville Speedway, the building and operation began. Luther Lemons’ brother, Lawrence, carved out an egg shaped dirt track that was a quarter-mile long. The speedway was an instant success that led into the track becoming NASCAR sanctioned the next year. That year, in spectacular fashion, Perk Brown of Spray won the Western Carolina Championship. This month there will be an event to remember and celebrate the vintage track that has long seen its last race. This “ghost track”, which still exists, still appears in newspaper articles from time to time, usually with veteran drivers talking about their exploits. Not only is it the 70th anniversary of Draper Speedway, it also coincides with the 60th anniversary of Bi-State Speedway which was run on the same track after being renamed. Many fans has told of the exploits of Carl Burris, Perk Brown, Cecil Barker, George Minter, Ralph Estes, Jimmy Griffin, Clarence Pickeral, Melvin Chilton, Wendell Scott, Glen Wood, Monk Tate, Wayne Johnson, to name a few. This is the fifth year that the Racer’s Reunion will be held. Many racecar drivers always show up to share their knowledge of the old racetrack. Crowd favorites always show up delighting their old and new fans with stories that one just cannot make up. Those were the days when hard working and skilled men could pull a junk car out of the weeds for a new life on primitive, rough dirt tracks in this area. This year’s guest of honor is Hank “Funderburk” Thomas of

Winston-Salem. Hank won the season amateur championship the first year of Bi-State at just twenty-two years old. Hank turned his racing enthusiasm into a career of racing and building racecars. He still operates Hank Thomas Performance in his hometown. He is also a major supplier of racing fuel to local tracks. The East Coast Flathead Ford Racing Association will be on hand again with their vintage flathead racing machines. Most of these cars were made in the late 1930’s and they are not just for looks. This organization also runs a series of races in the south-east with these relics from the past. These cars are basically the same as was raced 70 years ago with the exception of required safety additions. There will also be restored vintage race cars that will include drag and circle track machines. This year Main Street in front of the Railroad Café will be closed for the first cruise-in for street cars at the Racers Reunion. The event will be held under the lofty branches of the Homer Wood Park located between the Railroad Café and the railroad tracks. Moving the Racers Reunion to the Homer Wood Park was an instant success last year which insured its return with this year’s larger event. This year will also include bluegrass bands to provide even more entertainment. The Railroad Café will provide delicious meals all day. The café will also have a Racer’s Special for the attendees which will appease their appetites. All this is scheduled for Saturday, June 22nd, from 9am to 3pm. Do not miss this opportunity to take part in the celebration of the Tri-Cities pioneer NASCAR sanctioned track.

Reidsville & Wentworth Roaming Around Reidsville By Angela G. Stadler, Public Information Officer - City of Reidsville

It still amazes me that so many people have lived in Reidsville and Rockingham County all their lives and have never experienced Lake Reidsville Park located at 630 Water Works Road. We think of it as one of the area’s “hidden gems”, known more by visitors to Rockingham County than our own residents. A water bond referendum was held in 1971, passing by an

McKinney Sewing and Vacuum

18-1 ratio, which was unheard of in those days. The passage meant a secure water source for the City of Reidsville for years to come, along with the promise of recreational opportunities opening up for the City’s residents and visitors. It would be 12 years later before the grand opening was held for Lake Reidsville Recreation Park, but it was well worth the wait. Over the years the amenities provided at the park have grown. 1405 S.

The 750-acre lake and 86 acres of park area offer fishing, boating and water skiing, along with a campground geared for primitive or tent camping up to those sites with available water and sewer hookup and RV pull through options. Horseshoes, a basketball court and other attractions have been added over the years. A state-of-the-art 18-hole disc golf course, Lake’s Edge, added in 2007, draws tournaments and has led to the establishment of a Disc Golf Club with monthly tournaments. Kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, pedal boats and Corcis have been added to the lake’s activities, which are available for rental at the Lake Store. Recent or soon-to-be changes at the park have included the addition of WiFi for the campground, rebuilt horseshoe pits and a refurbished basketball court. Collaborations & Partnerships In 2000, due to the generosity of Susan Boyd and her family, an amphitheater was built on site for concerts and other activities in memory of Susan’s father, Howard Boyd, a former owner of B&G Glass. The stage has become a focal point of many of the activities held out at the lake over the years. This amphitheater has proven to be a real asset at Lake Reidsville, especially when July and the Independence Day Celebration rolls around. This year, the Independence Day event is planned for Saturday, July 6, 2019, from 3 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. This patriotic event is always popular and will be capped off this year with a performance by The Band of Oz and a spectacular fireworks show. For the City of

The Amphitheater at Lake Reidsville is used for many community events. On May 19, the Wives of the Blue Line held at Memorial Service for Fallen Officers, which included a balloon release.

Reidsville, many of our events and amenities have come about because of partnerships created with other organizations and individuals as well as the pursuit of grant opportunities. It was a $25,000 grant from the Rockingham County Community Foundation, set up by a donation from the Duke Energy Foundation, which allowed Lake Reidsville to revamp its former playground area. The new playground, established in 2017, combines technology and physical activity to encourage those ages 5-12 to use the playground equipment. A cell phone application, Biba, is used to play games on the equipment. Due to the generosity of the Murray family, the City has approximately 40 acres of land adjacent to Lake Reidsville that is being developed for public use and will grow Lake Reidsville Park. The City has been working on these plans with the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) as part of the Pathways 2.0 initiative, which is made possible by the Reidsville Area Foundation and DRBA municipal members to develop outdoor

recreation across Rockingham County. These plans for this additional property will build on existing trails already in place at Lake Reidsville. In March of 2018, the new walking and mountain biking trails were unveiled, also due to the City’s collaboration with DRBA. Walkers or bike enthusiasts can travel from one mile up to three miles, depending on the route taken. Lake Reidsville is also on the North Carolina Birding Trail so you can also be on the lookout for a variety of our fine feathered friends as you walk! The City and the Parks & Rec staff, led by Assistant City Manager of Community Services Haywood Cloud and Recreation Superintendent Fred Thompson, are always looking for ways to improve all of the City’s recreational offerings, including Lake Reidsville Park. Plans were made at the 2018 Annual Budget Retreat to add a splash pad, a jump pillow/pad and mini-golf to the lake in the near future once municipal sewer is extended to Lake Reidsville Park. City staff is also working hard to get the Mountains-toSea Trail to pass through Reidsville and Rockingham County. The trail would come through Reidsville via the lake property. The City is collaborating with DRBA and other entities to make this happen. We hope to be talking more about this soon. Upcoming Lake Events in June The first day of June brings the annual Kids Fishing Rodeo for those aged 12 and under. The event kicks off June 1st at 8:30 a.m. and lasts until 11:30 a.m. Many of these lake events are free, and you can call the lake store at 336-349-4738 for more details!

Market Square hosts CommUNITY Event ON May 18th Market Square in downtown Reidsville clelbrated the “Team Reidsville CommUNITY Celebration”, a first-time event is a project of the City of Reidsville’s Human Relations Commission (HRC), aided by the Community Pride Committee. Members of the Commission felt this would be a good avenue to fulfill their mission to carry out activities that help educate and bring awareness of the need to promote fairness and respect in dealings between people of all racial, religious, ethnic and economic backgrounds. A study authorized by the HRC in 2001 advocated an annual Reidsville Cultural Day and showed that Reidsville at the time included 17 different ethnicities, according to HRC Vice Chair Dick Frohock. The Commission hosted a Multicultural Day for the community for several years and had discussed since early 2018 the need to resurrect a similar yet different event.

Volunteers bagged up litter and cleaned up the City’s streets as part of the “Toss It for Reidsville” campaign earlier this month. The annual event is sponsored by the Reidsville Appearance Commission. RAC members, aided by local citizens and City staff, gathered up 23 bags of trash on Saturday, May 4, 2019, along with other items. The group, which also included members of The Last Dons, met behind City Hall and was given their designated locations. Receiving some extra attention were the following streets: Moss Street from Freeway Drive to Wentworth Street; Reid School Road; Reid Street, Drum Road, Turner Drive at the railroad tracks; the Courtland Park area; and various locations of McCoy Road, North Washington Avenue and Barnes Street. Reidsville Councilwoman Sherri Walker helps out with the annual cleanup whenever she can. “There are so many great things happening in Reidsville. We have new industries, an excellent hospital and fantastic community development with great entertainment,” she said. “Let's not let litter be a part of our growing and thriving city. If everyone pitches in and helps clean up the litter, it makes a daunting task not seem so difficult.”

Food, games, art vendors and more are planned, along with displays by service organizations. “We wanted to bring people together in a unifying event,” explained committee chair Llewellyn Alexander Williams of the HRC. He said they didn’t want to focus on one segment of the population, but to create a celebration to help everyone learn more about the different ethnicities or cultures in the City of Reidsville and Rockingham County. Local groups and businesses provided sponsorships to help offset the costs of the celebration, At the end of the celebration, a free showing of the movie, Black Panther, is scheduled on the lawn of Market Square so everyone is encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair to enjoy the show.

Reidsville & Wentworth Lake’s new fishing trail is fun and educational Fishing sites designed as part of Boy Scout’s Eagle Project The City of Reidsville has a new amenity, a Bass Fishing Trail at Lake Reidsville, thanks to the efforts of a local Boy Scout. Hunter Martin, a member of area Boy Scout Troop 701, worked with members of the N.C. B.A.S.S. and fellow Scouts last year to design the trail as part of his Eagle Project. Martin and his helpers also obtained the materials for the fish attractors and built and installed all of the structures. Martin said he has loved fishing since he was young, really getting into it during his teenage years. He decided to take on this project after seeing on a local newscast another Boy Scout’s similar endeavor on Lake Thom-a-Lex in Lexington. “I am glad I chose this project because it helped me understand more of the science behind the behavior of bass and how you can use science to your advantage when fishing,” Martin said. Largemouth bass and other sport fish use different habitats dependent on the season. Fishermen who learn about these seasonal movements can be more successful anglers, making their fishing experience more enjoyable overall. Martin’s part of the project started in November of 2017 and ended in mid-2018, but the City had been waiting on the installation of the buoys, which was recently completed, according to Reidsville Parks and Recreation Superintendent Fred Thompson. Before unveiling the trail, maps also needed to be made in a collaborative effort between the City, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and the N.C. Bass Federation.

Local Group Spend Night Aboard Historic USS YORKTOWN

Hunter Martin, above, explains the next steps for those helping him with his Eagle Scout project, designing a fishing trail at Lake Reidsville. Below, Hunter checks on the location of one of the nine fishing sites along the trail.

The City of Reidsville paid for the buoys, which were installed at the nine fishing sites scattered around the lake. Each of the nine sites also has been enhanced with fish attractors to entice largemouth bass and other sport fishes to frequent the trail. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission provided the technical know-how as well as the buoy anchors for the project. The Commission also helped Martin build and install the structures and buoys, aided by funding from the Sport Fish Restoration Program. Thompson lauded the collaborative relationship the City has had with Scouting. “The support of the local Boy Scout Organization has

been crucial in completing several projects for the Parks and Recreation Department where adequate funding was not available,” he said. “These included this project and the current expansion of the Jaycee Dog Park.” The City of Reidsville’s Lake Reidsville is in elite company. Only three other local governments have established fishing trails in the State, although a fifth trail is in the works. A grand opening for the fishing trail at Lake Reidsville is being planned for the near future by the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce.

Members of Cub Scout Pack 701 and Boy Scout Troop 701 recently walked in the steps of country’s heroes while participating in the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum’s camping program aboard the historic World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown on Charleston Harbor in April 6 & 7, 2019. During the trip, the group became “shipmates” while touring the museum’s three 70 year old warships: the USS Yorktown, World War II destroyer USS

Laffey, and Cold War submarine USS Clamagore. The group also learned about the Vietnam War in the museum’s new interactive, Vietnam Experience. The landslide exhibit is a 2.5 acre recreation of a Brown Water Naval Support Base and Marine Fire Artillery Base. Morning and evening meals were served to the group aboard the Yorktown just as they were to the ship’s sailors decades ago while at sea.

Michelle Smith, Human Resources Analyst for the City of Reidsville, was recognized by Mayor Jay Donecker and Reidsville City Council at their May 7th meeting.

Smith graduates from Municipal and County Administration course The Reidsville City Council recognized Michelle Smith, Human Resources Analyst, during its May 7th regular monthly meeting for completing the 2018-19 Municipal and County Administration Course offered by the UNC School of Government.

We have Immediate Openings at our Eden facility for: Sewers Inspectors Utility workers We offer a competitive compensation package including: • Health Insurance • Dental Insurance • Paid Time Off • 401K

Mayor Jay Donecker, on behalf of the Reidsville City Council, acknowledged Smith’s completion of the course and presented her certificate. This program is designed for managers, department heads, and officials whose responsibilities require a broad understanding of functions beyond individual areas of specialization. The course is approximately 150 hours in length, and more than 60 instructors participate in leading the program. Course instruction covers North Carolina local government law, organization and management, finance and budgeting, employment law and administration, planning and regulation of development, and the delivery of specific city or county services. Smith was one of 94 officials who graduated the Municipal and County Administration course this year and is one of more than 3,200 officials who have completed the course since it began in 1954. Smith began her career with the City of Reidsville in October of 1999, serving as the Deputy City Clerk. She became the City’s Customer Service Supervisor in the Finance Department, a position she held before assuming her current position in September of 2014.

His department is using any technology available to help improve safety such as

Sheriff Sam Page and Kevin Suthard an app on a smart phone with a direct line between a person at a school or church alerting his office that something is suspicious. This means there would also be a quicker response time. Anywhere that a

10 Commandments A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' From the back, one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

Apples The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE. God is watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.’

Math Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Six." Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven!" Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!" Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

Red, White & Blue Maze Solution On Page 36

A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in the Netherlands flag. "Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said. "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue after we pay them."

Antonyms A teacher was testing her students' knowledge of words' antonyms. She asked, "What is the opposite of go?" A student answered, "Stop." "Very good," the teacher replied. "What is the opposite of adamant?" Another student said, "Eveant."

Breakfast There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don't forget. They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. "You might want to write it down," she said. The husband said, "No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream." She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. "Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "No, no, I can remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream." Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "Write it down," she told her husband and again he said, "No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top." So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon. The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, "Where's the toast?"

Money Is it me or the nature of money, That's odd and particularly funny. But when I have dough, It goes quickly, you know, And seeps out of my pockets like honey.

Social Security Matters by AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor Association of Mature American Citizens

Ask Rusty – Worker Received Overpayment Notice from Social Security Dear Rusty: I have a problem with Social Security. They told me if I went over the annual earned income limit they would withhold $1 for every $2 I went over. But they did not tell me about the monthly rule for the first year of retirement and now they want $13,000. I am a part time bus driver with irregular hours and cannot afford this. Can you help? Signed: Feeling Wronged by SS Dear Feeling Wronged: The so-

called “first year rule” is one which surprises many who claim benefits early and continue to work. That rule says that if your monthly income, in your first year after your benefits start, exceeds a certain limit ($1470 in 2019), you are not entitled to SS benefits for that month. In your specific situation there are two things in play that I suggest you focus on. First, you should immediately request a repayment plan on the grounds that you cannot afford to repay the entire amount right away and that forfeiting your benefits until the $13,000 is repaid will result in a hardship

for you. Although the Overpayment Notice you received asked you to refund the money within 30 days, it also suggested repayment options if you cannot afford to do so. I recommend you contact Social Security immediately to arrange a repayment plan, which is affordable for you. You can do this by submitting form SSA632, which you can find at this link: www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa632.pdf. Be aware that if you don’t get a favorable initial response from your first contact with Social Security, you have the right to appeal at several levels, including a review of your case by an independent Social Security Continued On Page 27

Western Rockingham Treasures Intelligence By Therese Francin

It’s a small community located in Western Rockingham County, but Intelligence is a name I heard from my neighbor when I was visiting with her on her front porch. She remembered life there fondly, and told of the many happy memories from her grandmother’s life in Intelligence, located in New Bethel Township. She joyously told stories of her grandma’s life as a little girl going to elementary school in Intelligence. The school is now part of a health and rehabilitation center near Bald Hill Road and Bailey Road. Jacobs Creek meanders nearby, and it feels somehow that you are walking back in time when you view the framework of the old school building. Intelligence was once home to the Sharp Institute which was a co-educational day and boarding school located in the area. The school was founded by James Merritt Sharp in 1900, and operated until 1907 when it was destroyed by fire. Sharp had been studying law while working as a teacher at the Institute, and passed the bar examination in 1908. He moved to Reidsville, where he remained for the next 38 years, and served in the North Carolina State Senate in 1925 and 1927. Sharp wed Annie Britt Blackwell in 1906, after she met him while working as a teacher at Sharp Institute. Susie Marshall Sharp was the couple’s first child, and named after her mother’s younger sister Susie and her grandfather, James Marshall Sharp. Susie attended public schools in Reidsville from 1914 to 1924, where she was an excellent student and an outstanding debater. After graduating from high school in 1924, and going to the North Carolina College for Women, (now the University of North Carolina at

Greensboro), she developed an interest in chemistry. Although she may have become a scientist, she chose law over chemistry; and she then entered the School of Law at the University of North Carolina (UNC at Chapel Hill). Susie Sharp was the only woman in her class, and went on to become an editor of the North Carolina Law Review, received her law degree with honors in 1929 after passing the bar exam in 1928 while still in school. She returned to Reidsville in 1929 and practiced law with her father. Sharp was appointed Reidsville’s city attorney in 1939. A woman lawyer was a rarity at that time, as women were not allowed to serve on juries in North Carolina until 1946. Sharp was appointed to the North Carolina Superior Court bench in 1949 by Governor William Kerr Scott, becoming the first female judge in the history of the state to hold this position. Judge Sharp was interested in prison conditions throughout her career. In 1974 she became the first female in the United States to be elected chief justice of a state supreme court. Sharp served seventeen years on the Court, and wrote 459 majority opinions. She received a series of awards from women’s organizations, as well as being selected by Time magazine in the January 1976 issue as one of the twelve women of the year for 1975. Susie Sharp made an indelible mark on the State of North Carolina. It all started in a sleepy little rural hamlet, in a small school in Intelligence, New Bethel Township, in Western Rockingham County, where her parents first met as teachers.

Seniors Can Spring Clean Their Medicine Cabinets Too! Powers It is no secret that the human body changes as we age and with those changes many older adults find themselves taking numerous medications that have been prescribed over time. Some seniors have chronic conditions, and their medications may be changed often as a result, even before the existing supply is exhausted. Whether they’re expired, or your doctor told you to stop taking them, medications lying around your home may lead to confusion about what to take. For many people, spring cleaning is an annual event, and for older adults, this may be the ideal time to take stock of what’s in your medicine cabinets! Older adults and everyone for that matter should routinely take an inventory of the medications in their home. Be sure to check the expiration date; over time medication loses its effectiveness and you don’t want to take any chances that a medicine is no longer working the way it’s supposed to. Remember you should also discard leftover prescription medicines from a previ-

ous illness or condition. You should never try to treat yourself, or anyone else, with an old or surplus medication. Although your symptoms may be similar, the condition could be completely different. Having unneeded or unused medication on hand also poses a security risk to older adults as well as the communityat-large. As the opioid crisis grows, older adults may be seen as vulnerable targets for criminals searching for a target. So what do we do with all those bottles of pills that you no longer need to have around? Disposing of unwanted or expired prescription and overthe-counter drugs is an important step for us all. You can safely dispose of medications at collection sites located at pharmacies and police offices around the county. Medications that are collected at these locations are typically incinerated. This is more environmentally friendly than flushing medications down the toilet or throwing them away in your trash, both of which can damage our water supply. Remember to

always scratch out your personal information on the bottles before throwing them away in order to protect your private health information. If you have questions about medication safety, or disposal locations or techniques, ask your pharmacist.

Madison / Mayodan / Stoneville Local Developer Invests in Industrial Space in Madison

Alamiri

Alamiri named Senior of the Month at McMichael High Karina Alamiri is a senior at McMichael High School. Noting that she is of African American and Middle Eastern descent, she says, “I work hard to maintain high grades and good standing with my teachers. I have always valued the opinion of them.” She is also president of the Sci-Fi club and enjoyed a part in the school’s recent musical. Karina informed us, “This autumn I will be attending Wingate University and pursuing a bachelor's degree in Business Management. I hope to one day open my own small business by the time I am 40 years old. I am honored by the title 'Student of the Month' because I didn't know that my ambition and hard work was being noticed.” Social Security Continued From Page 25 Administrative Law Judge. But please note that it might take up to 60 days for Social Security to complete your repayment plan request. If you do not get action within that timeframe you should contact them again to determine your status. Next, I suggest that, since Social Security informed you of the annual limit but neglected to inform you of the rule which limits your monthly income in your first year of early retirement, you may also have grounds to request a waiver of the entire overpayment. Social Security’s own rules state that if your overpayment was caused by misinformation received from Social Security, you may be found “without fault” for any overpayment in your first year of early retirement. You may even want to download Social Security’s own rules on this

The Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business & Tourism is pleased to announce that local developer, Eddie Smith with Venture Logistics in Mayodan, has purchased the Madison Industrial Center and plans to invest approximately $155,000 to upfit the building. Smith plans to lease the space to clients for distribution operations, which will create about 16 jobs. The 156,445-square-foot building is located at 301 Highway Street in Madison. Built in 1951, the building previously housed a Unifi operation. “This building has quite a significant history in Madison, dating back to the textile mill Madison Throwing Company. We wanted to spruce up the appearance and do what we can to help expand that part of town and provide jobs,” said Eddie Smith, owner of Venture Logistics. “We are grateful to see an empty building being put back to use and we look forward to working with Eddie to bring new jobs to Madison,” said Kevin Baughn, manager of the Town of topic at this link: https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/l nx/0202250061. The onus will be on you to prove that the overpayment occurred as a result of misinformation supplied by Social Security, and you will need the name of the person(s) who supplied the incorrect information as well as the date and time. And as with all contact you have with the Social Security Administration, you should keep a complete written record of each transaction. In resolving this issue, you can and should use the appeals process if necessary, and you may even want to consider asking your local Congressional Representative to intercede on your behalf.

McMichael High School On May 22, 2019, Rockingham County Schools held the 9th Annual Employability Seminar. The Employability Seminar is a Work Skills seminar and competition between Occupational Course of Study (OCS) students from Morehead High, McMichael High, Reidsville High and Rockingham County High schools. It consists of three portions: an Interview/Resume where two students from each school submit a resume and are interviewed by a business leader or school personnel; a School Duel where students in groups of four compete in a “Family Feud” type of competition based on questions from their Occupational Curriculum Preparation; and students are judged throughout the entire Seminar on their behavior. Congratulations to McMichael High School for bringing home the gold! Additionally, Rockingham County High won the sportsmanship award. Congratulations to all the students who worked diligently the entire school year to compete in the Employability Seminar!

Two murals in Reidsville (204 W. Morehead St.) and Gilmer Street side of (139 S. Scales St.) were officially unvieled in May.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall Cancelling/ Rescheduling Events We want to explain why we cancel events because of weather and why it is so hard to reschedule that same event. Our events are funded by sponsorships and we are the stewards of that hardearned money. Costs include: • Advertising • Entertainment • Stages • Sound • Lights • Port-A-Johns • Security • Special Features • Many other items When the weather forecast is predicting 80 to 100% rain, event organizers have to make a VERY hard decision. In addition to rain, you can experience heavy winds and lightning. We cannot stress how hard it is to cancel an event. We and the event volunteers work months making our events the very best they can be. We have to decide to go ahead and possibly lose a lot of money or cancel and save as much as possible. We try to provide professional musicians, but their contracts demand payment whether they play or not if you have booked them for an event. Stages cost thousands of dollars, and once they are on site, you are forced to pay for them, even if a thunderstorm happens ten minutes after they arrive. You also have to consider the expense your food vendors are about to put into your event. If they start preparing food and it rains, they also can lose thousands of dollars. Probably the most important factor is the safety of our visitors and our volunteers. We try to consult with emergency services, police and meteorologists in order to make the best decision possible. In 2012, a sudden straight-line wind blew through Washington Street on the Saturday night of RiverFest. The stage overhead rack shook violently, tents flew up in the air, and people scattered for shelter. This is what can happen during this type of weather event that was forecasted the night of the recently cancelled Oink & Ale. We cannot be good stewards of these events and expose our citizens, vendors and workers to such potential danger. Once you cancel, it is very difficult to pull a large event back together. Your bands are usually booked a year in advance and they do not agree to blockout make-up dates without an additional cost because that prevents them from accepting other bookings. Your stage companies, food vendors, etc. all have their schedules booked for the year because this is their business. Therefore, to get all the players back together again on a particular date is nearly impossible.

Please know that we DO NOT ever want to cancel an event. We have invested too much time and effort into the project to want to make that decision. However, sometimes it is just necessary for the safety and well -being of all those involved.

Economic & Tourism Development 770 Ventures (MillerCoors) This company continues to interview brokers to market the site to food and beverage manufacturers. City and County staff are continuing the Duke Energy Site Readiness process, which will culminate in a late May meeting in Eden. This will make the site more marketable by providing a thorough assessment of the site’s assets and needs. The Tile Shop This company is located off Friendly Road just over the VA state line in Ridgeway. They have taken over the Evans Warehouse on Roundhouse Road in Eden and have five employees working there after spending a considerable amount on building up-fits. They plan to be there long-term and could have additional growth opportunities if store expansions continue. This company has grown from 62 to 77 employees with 85% of their employees being either Eden or NC residents. They support local Eden businesses and consider themselves part of the Eden community. This distribution center services 36 retail stores (the company has 145 stores and is growing). They also manufacture grouts and other setting materials in their local warehouse. Eden is their second largest distribution center after one in Michigan. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) On April 11, staff joined representatives of Danville and Pittsylvania County, VA in addressing the VDOT public hearing held in Lynchburg, VA. The purpose of the meeting was to express support for the proposed $31 million allocation to fund the connector road from Berry Hill Road to the Danville Expressway. The Route 58 Development State Funds that will be available July 1, 2019, were used to fund this project. Right now, the official completion date is 2025 but they expect this to be expedited considerably, especially if a project is landed at the mega site. NC Economic Development Association (NCEDA) This organization scheduled a day to meet with Legislators in Raleigh on April 16. City staff participated in two meetings. The first included staff from the

City of Eden, the Rockingham County and the City of Reidsville. They met with Senator Phil Berger’s Policy Advisor, Alex Fagg. They discussed expediting the I-785 extension from Hicone Road in Guilford County to Highway 29, exit 153 — Eden/ Reidsville/ Yanceyville. They used information about the VDOT Connector Road (see above) funding and the many large prospects that have considered the mega site. It was noted how it would benefit Reidsville and Eden to be much closer to an interstate highway than we are now. Reidsville would be 1-2 miles from it; Eden 10. This is far better than our current situations. Highway accessibility is a critical factor in many industrial projects. Also discussed was the Norfolk Southern rail line that was damaged from the fall of 2018 hurricanes. The railroad will not declare the line abandoned and will make the necessary repairs and reopen the line if a user is found for MillerCoors. There may be assistance from both NC and VA for these repairs. The group then joined the NCEDA leadership and lobbyist law firm Smith Anderson in a meeting with NC Senate ProTem Phil Berger. Senator Berger was asked to give some of his priorities in this term. They are looking at infrastructure funding — but the scope of infrastructure needs is immense. The gas tax has not produced the required transportation funds, part of this being attributed to more electric cars on the road. Senator Berger recognized the rural hospital issues and workforce development challenges. He is conducting roundtable discussions on workforce education to determine how to attract the talent that companies need. Career coaches from community colleges working with high school students is a promising program. He also talked about the efforts to implement broadband in areas that are currently not served. Economic Development Administration (EDA) The City is working with Rockingham Community College staff on seeking an EDA grant to assist with either the construction or equipment for the Workforce Development Center. The EDA has provided $2.0 million+ grants to three NC Community Colleges in the recent past. Rockingham County Land Use Process City staff participated in a Rockingham County Land Use Process in early May. Each represented community — Eden,

Reidsville, Madison and Wentworth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spoke of their land use plans and economic development strategies. The consultant working with the County will have individual meetings with each community and there will be future collective meetings on this topic. Âź Cent Sales Taxâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;First Anniversary The City spearheaded a meeting with the committee members that worked on this successful 2018 campaign. The purpose was to determine the Workforce Development Center status and to begin a second campaign to let the community know what is happening with the funding. Since we are at the first anniversary of the tax vote, a comprehensive effort will be made to reach all of the civic and other groups that were contacted last year seeking support. A sign rendering of the proposed Workforce Development Center will also appear on the college campus in the near future. Rock-A-Top Apprenticeship Program Two local companies are considering participating in this countywide apprenticeship program.

Efficiencies are being priced at $675 with one bedrooms at $825 and two bedrooms at $925 per month. Convenient rear parking has just been developed by the City. Please call 561-313-9309 for additional information. Fieldcrest Public Space The perimeter lighting has been mounted to the interior

walls. Suspension wires were placed across the space and strings of festoon bulbs were hung. The lights are illuminated through a photoelectric switch that lights the space at dusk. The corrugated sliding metal doors are ready to be mounted and will be put in place soon. Look forward to a ribbon cutting ceremony this spring. Eden Downtown Development Inc. The board of directors met May 13 for their EDDI regular meeting. The Design sub-committee project of custom painting downtown fire hydrants has begun with the first two completed on Henry Street.

If you would like to participate contact rhunt@edennc.us. The Rockingham Entrepreneurial Assistance Program (REAP) has moved up its scheduled roll out to July. Susan Reagan, Director of RCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Business Center is working closely with the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development department and representatives of the City of Eden. The EDDI received its formal accreditation certificate from the NC Main Street & Rural Planning Center. Boulevard Merchants The Merchants are planning another food truck rodeo October 5 in conjunction with a battle of the bands to be called Rocktoberfest. They have scheduled their next Cars and Crabs event for July 27. They have requested a list of property owners to contact about possible improvements. The list will be compiled by the City of Eden Planning and Inspections Department. Monroe Street The former Body Fit Fitness Therapy building is under contract. The new owners have made no decision on what they plan to do with the building. 609 Bridge Street A local company has purchased the former rental equipment building. They plan to use it in conjunction with their current business and will have additional available office space. 137 Fieldcrest Road The owner of the former Pharmacy Land building in Draper is meeting with Rockingham County Habitat for Humanity. Habitat recently closed their facility on Washington Street. National Parks Service Historic Preservation Sub Grant Staff has been working on a grant application that could award up to $750,000 for Eden historic properties. Those included in the grant were two

historic Washington Street properties, the Nantucket Mill, and Spray Cotton Mill. The City would divide the funding up to assist all four buildings. The City will know in the fall of 2019 if the grant application has been approved. Grown & Gathered Our spring farm to fork dinner was held May 23 along the beautiful Canal at the Spray Mercantile. Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ross and Amy Hammond are preparing a delicious dinner made with ingredients grown and produced locally. The Morehead High School Jazz Ensemble will provide entertainment and Our State Magazine will be on site filming for an upcoming video. It should be a beautiful evening!

Hispanic Heritage Day We would like to thank all the people that helped make our Hispanic Heritage Day with all of Edenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th graders the huge success it was! The kids learned about pinatas, listened to a Mariachi band, ate some delicious authentic foods and had fun taking their photos at the photo booth.

Engineering Dept. Street Resurfacing Projects: Waugh Asphalt paved the gravel parking lot at the Leaksville Landing on April 10. Triad Road Maintenance has been issued a work order to install approximately 10 to 12 painted parking spaces on the new lot. Boone Masonry extended the upper end of the concrete driveway to connect it with the asphalt roadway along Hamilton Street on May 7. The walking track at Freedom Park has now been resurfaced. Waugh Asphalt was awarded this contract. Dalton Enterprises has been issued a Notice to Proceed for the resurfacing of the walking tracks at the Bridge Street Recreation Center and the Mill Avenue Recreation Center. The completion date for these projects is June 21. NCDOT State Resurfacing Schedule: The resurfacing of NC14/ Van Buren Road was scheduled to resume on May 17, weather permitting. This project was started last fall but was delayed and then eventually postponed due to weather. The contractor will be installing an FR-SAMI application and an asphalt overlay on the roadway from Cox Street to the Virginia state line. The Rockingham Resurfacing schedule is underway. Thompson Arthur hopes to start construction on the roads inside the Eden city limits by the end of the May. Sections of Aiken Road, Summit Road, Friendly Road, Northridge Drive, Wilshire Drive, Lincoln Street, Short Union Street and Landfill Drive are all scheduled to be resurfaced in conjunction with this project. Please use extreme caution when traveling in these areas. Waterline Replacement Projects A crew from Art Stanley Paving arrived on April 17 to follow behind a crew from Joyce Backhoe Service Inc. that was removing the top eight inches of temporary stone from the pavement cuts along Morehead Street, between Glovenia Street and Hollingsworth Street. Two lifts of intermediate asphalt mix were placed and tamped, followed by a single lift of surface wearing course that was compacted by a vibratory roller. The crews from Citty’s Plumbing and Pools, Inc. we are working on emergency repairs elsewhere for much of the past month, but by the end of the day on April 25, they had managed to switch four more customers to the new water main installed along Jackson Street and W. Moore Street. The crew returned for three consecutive days starting on May 7 to remove temporary stone from pavement cuts, then place and compact asphalt pavement material. Additional maintenance

work is to be done to several areas where the shoulder of the streets were disturbed. Joyce Backhoe Service Inc. was allowed to postpone starting work on the West Avenue waterline replacement project in order to handle an important water main replacement project at another location in Rockingham County.

Information Technology The FCC recently put out a press release regarding a rise in “One Ring” robocall scams. From the press release: SCAMMERS LOOKING TO DEFRAUD CONSUMERS BY PROMPTING EXPENSIVE CALL BACK Consumers Should Not Call Back Unknown Late-Night Callers Using the ‘222’ West African Country Code The Federal Communications Commission is alerting consumers to reported waves of “One Ring” or “Wangiri” scam robocalls targeting specific area codes in bursts, often calling multiple times in the middle of the night. These calls are likely trying to prompt consumers to call the number back, often resulting in per minute toll charges similar to a 900 number. Consumers should not call these numbers back. Recent reports indicate these calls are using the “222” country code of the West African nation of Mauritania. News reports have indicated widespread overnight calling in New York State and Arizona. Generally, the One Ring scam takes place when a robocaller calls a number and hangs up after a ring or two. They may call repeatedly, hoping the consumer calls back and runs up a toll that is largely paid to the scammer. What to do: • Do not call back numbers you do not recognize, especially those appearing to originate overseas. • File a complaint with the FCC if you received these calls: www.fcc.gov/complaints • If you never make international calls, consider talking to your phone company about blocking outbound international calls to prevent accidental toll calls. • Check your phone bill for charges you do not recognize. Advances in technology allow massive amounts of calls to be made cheaply and easily. In addition, spoofing tools make it easy for scammers to mask their identity. The FCC is working to combat scam calls with enforcement actions, a strong push for caller ID authentication, and support for call blocking tools. Another key tool is consumer education like this alert and the FCC’s One Ring scam consumer guide: https://t.co/pROJ0ldMXv

Highway #14 Intersection Improvements and Pedestrian/Bike Facilities U-5893 We received information concerning this project from NCDOT. Based upon engineering expertise and various meetings with citizens, City Council and staff, they are recommending Alt. 1. This will create a Super Street. I have spoken with them in the past about pedestrian accommodations. They estimate sidewalks to cost +/- $284,000 and the city’s match would be approximately $57,000. We would also need to take ownership of what they are calling Buckingham Lane and CVS Road. Buckingham Lane is from an old map we have seen before. CVS Road would not be my first choice for the name of the other street. Stadium Drive Sidewalk Project We have submitted the forms and documents through the NCDOT Local Project Management portal.

Local Geneology Studies By Elvin Perkins, Jr.

1832 Divorce Petition of Rebecca Buchanan Petree Within County Court records there is an abundant amount of material waiting to be researched. The court files are a treasure trove of family histories or historic events ready to be studied and shared with family and friends or the public in general. The records are a reflection of the lives and events of our ancestors who have gone before us. Thanks to research by Rachel Rawls we get a glimpse of what life was like in 1832 when a petition was filed with the court for divorce proceedings. Rachel’s wonderful story presents us with the unfortunate events in the lives of Henry and Rebecca Buchanan Petree. For a woman, getting a divorce in the 1830’s was not something to be taken lightly. At this time, suit for divorce could be filed in the Superior Court of the county; at an earlier period, divorces had to be granted by the state Legislature. Rebecca Petree did institute suit for "divorce from bed and board" and alimony from her husband Henry Petree during the October term, 1832, after over twenty years of marriage. This meant that while they no longer lived together, neither could remarry during the lifetime of the other (essentially a "legal separation"). At this time, they had seven children.

Her divorce petition describes his behavior in terms that today we generally refer to as "spousal abuse." This mistreatment had been going on for many years and on occasion Rebecca had to absent herself from the house because of injuries and fear for her life. She felt, however, she could not leave her children and had to return. This seems much like accounts we read regularly in our newspapers or watch on television. When Henry found himself summoned in the courts, he sold as much of his property as he could, obtaining over two hundred dollars in cash, packed a large wagon with other property (worth about $100.00), took his son William and left the area. Rebecca indicated in her subsequent petition that she thought this was done to avoid making provision for her and his other children. In March 1834, their daughters, Margaret (21 years of age) and Elizabeth ("about seventeen") were summoned to testify about the abuse. In addition to vile language they hesitated to repeat, both testified about physical abuse. Their father on numerous occasions pulled their mother's hair, pushed her out the door (and down several steps), and hit her. He had drawn a knife and threatened her. He also broke a glass bottle on her forehead when she had a small

Perkins child in her lap so "spirits" spilled on the babe, broke her collar bone, and threw cold water on her when she was in bed with a small child in her arms. He had "mad fits" when he was drinking that lasted two or three weeks at the time. From all the testimony, it can be assumed that Henry was an alcoholic. He was infuriated when Rebecca refused to join him in imbibing alcohol. In addition, Zechariah Glidewell who had lived with them to help with the farming and a neighbor Joel Lewis testified to his violent reputation when drinking, Rebecca's refusing to drink, and commented that he implied he was selling his property to keep her from having it. Solomon Petree, Henry's brother, testified as to his leaving with property, but said he had not told him it was to avoid her receiving anything. Her brother-in-law, Ezekial Frost, supported Rebecca's petition. The court granted her plea, and she subsequently lived with her family apart from Henry. Henry did return and lived with his mother until after Rebecca's death when he remarried. The 1840 Census for Stokes County shows Rebecca's household with

Ad vice

by Lisa Finney Griffith

Advertorials No, I’m not Dear Abby. I’m simply the publisher of a countywide publication that hopes to serve the county for many years to come, with the loyal support of my advertisers and readers. There are so many businesses in the county who specialize in one thing or the other. My specialized skills are in design, advertising / marketing of your business. I can’t do your job, and most of you aren’t skilled in what my job entails. So... I want to share some advice or “AD”vice, as the title says, about advertising, and how you can use print ads to build new business, keep present clients, and bring back those who have fallen through the cracks. This month’s column pertains to Advertorials. Most of you have seen them, but weren’t aware you were reading them until the very end, if even then. People who read newspapers love to read. Period. And when you have a lot to say, but feel a display advertisement is not going to get it all across, you need an advertorial. These are advertisements in the format of an article/editorial. With an

advertorial you are able to tell the history of your company, your mission, what is new or upcoming and inform. about yourself and your staff. But the main thing you can do is explain and convince readers about your particular product or service. You can put all the inform. in without having to fit it into a constrained space. Advertorials have been used in recent years with businesses ranging in size from corner ice cream stands to conglomerate drug companies, with great success. Used in combination, or alternately between traditional advertisements and Advertorials, profits could show a great improvement. In this way you reach the skimmers of a paper as well as the in depth readers, both of which could be your next client. What is the best way to use an advertorial? Start with a problem your potential clients may need to solve, then offer a benefit (not a feature): what problem can you help them solve? Now tell them what you can do for them. Let them understand that you are a professional in the field they need.

Next, introduce them to your company, it's history, its staff, and what you stand for. Tell them why they should trust you and your staff with their needs. Is it price? Is it professionalism? Is it years of service and experience? Let them know who you are and why you want to serve them. Advertorials don't have to be written by the owner, although they can be. I can help with the writing of the advertorial. That's what I am here for, to help you stay in business. If you are out of business then I am out of a client, and neither of us want that. Eden's Own Journal, which features the Rockingham County Star has county-wide coverage and wants to keep your money and our neighbors money right here in our county. We all want the same thing, and I’d like to think I can help you get what you need by assisting you with your marketing needs. Ask them to call you for inform. or stop in and ask for you or a staff member that is best suited to their issue or problem. Put in all your contact inform., including hours and address, so they have no trouble getting in touch with you.

begin drawing reimbursements from grant and loan funding for engineering work completed to date. The remaining projects of the remediation plan will bid in sequence between June and September. All projects in the remediation plan should be approved and ready to begin by January 1, 2020. Southern Virginia Mega Site at Berry Hill Haymes Brothers Inc. of Chatham, VA won the bid to install the City of Eden water line to the VA state line. They were the lowest of the three firms who bid on the project. This line will provide most of the water to this industrial park. The bid was roughly $1.5 million under the engineering firm estimate for the construction portion of this project. Haymes Brothers is currently extending the City of Eden sewer line from the VA state line to the Mega Park. On April 30, 2019, the NC Division of Environmental Quality approved engineering plans for the water line project, clearing the way for the City to secure a $1.0 million grant previ-

Supporting local business is supporting a dream

The final step is to have an answering machine or set up voice mail in case they make the effort to pick up the phone, which might not always be during your bus. hours. Nothing loses new clients faster than having no way to contact you when they try to call. A “voicemail is full” or “voicemail has not been set up” really gets to me. How can an advertisement work if they can’t get to you? If prospects or clients have made the effort to call you to no avail, they may simply call your competitor after they hang up. You MUST have an answering machine or voice mail set up! And when you do, NEVER ignore a message. Call them back as soon as possible. If you don't, they will more than likely call your competitor! I’ve done it myself. In this day of tech., a phone ringing, with no answering machine to pickup, can raise your prospect’s bloodpressure, and leave a bad taste in their mouth about your business. Don't do this to your business nor potential clients. Also, if you list an email, then look at your emails daily, respond, if only with a "I will get back to you on that asap." No one likes to be ignored. Think about how many times you yourself have been ignored by email or phone messages. It doesn't leave a good impression for you as a client does it?

ously approved for the project. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $7,072,000. We hope to have this project underway by July 1, 2019. Construction is expected to take about 18 months to complete.

Testimonial: In these tough times, where to advertise is a very important bus. decision. My name is Rosemary Kennedy and I am the owner of Kennedy Disability Services, a Social Security disability practice. I ask every potential client during the interview process the same question. How did you hear about me? Over and over again, I hear the same thing "Eden's Own Journal." I am now and will continue to be a loyal customer to Eden's Own Journal. It is not just about the advertisement. As far as I am concerned, Lisa Griffith is on my team as she goes the extra mile to help her customers. You can't go wrong with Eden's Own Journal!

From Root to Branch...Contined from Page 34 herself and three females living with her. She is next door to the household of her niece (Bitting) and this household probably has her sister, Elizabeth Frost, in it. Rebecca died in 1843. Henry Petree remarried in 1843. His second wife was Sarah Stilly (the marriage bond says "Silly," but other records clearly show the last name as Stilly). He did return to Stokes County and in 1840 was living with his mother. Henry and Rebecca Petree's son, William Petree, did not return to Stokes County; he married in Lincoln County, North Carolina (where his uncle John Petree had moved earlier) and eventually settled in Alabama where he reared a family. The other children were as follows: Ezekial Petree (married Betty Collins), Margaret M. Petree (married Charles Anderson), Riley Frost Petree (married Olethia Helsabeck), Elizabeth Petree (married Daniel Doub), Catherine Petree (married William Spainhour), and Rebecca Petree (married August J. Helsabeck). Several of these have descendants living in the area today. Rebecca Buchanan Petree was originally from Rockingham County, the daughter of William and Frances Montgomery Buchanan. Court records in Rockingham County indicate that in 1799, Hugh Patrick (probably their cousin) was appointed guardian for John, Hannah and Rebecca Buchanan,

orphans of William Buchanan. Earlier, in 1794, James Buchanan chose Ebenezer Patrick; George chose James Patrick; and James Patrick was appointed guardian for Samuel and William Buchanan. Their mother retained guardianship of the three youngest children apparently until her death, which must have occurred before the lands in their father's estate was made, since the William Buchanan estate records of 1796 referred to Frances Buchanan, his "late" widow. The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married Ezekial Frost in 1798 in Rockingham County, and they moved to Stokes County where he operated an iron works. Since Rebecca indicated she came to Stokes about 1812, she probably lived with her sister prior to her marriage. That she was close to her sister could be assumed by her children's names---Ezekial, Riley Frost, and Elizabeth. When Elizabeth Frost died in 1841, she left a sum of money, the interest from which was to be paid to Rebecca for her lifetime. Riley Frost Petree was one witness to his aunt's will. Henry Petree lived with his second wife until his death in 1868. He is buried next to her in a family cemetery near Germanton with a number of Tuttles--his sisters had married Tuttles. The slab over his aboveground tomb reads, "Remember as you pass, once was I as you are now. As I am now, so you must be. Prepare

for death and follow me." Perhaps he reformed in later life-he must have had some reconciliation with his children, since he willed half his property to his wife and the other half to be divided among six of his children. He apparently disinherited Riley Frost so there must have been some disagreement with him. One unverified family tradition indicated that Riley Frost Petree sided with the union during the Civil War. Riley Frost was elected to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention that followed the War. When Sarah Petree died, she left part of her estate to Riley Frost Petree's son, Francis, which indicated that any disagreement did not extend to her.

Morehead Moments Morehead High School Student—GOOD—News (Christy Hensley, MHS Career Development Coordinator)

What it means to be a Panther: MHS Senior Jordan Martin rises to the Challenge on the Track (Mr. Ryan Moody, MHS Principal) An Inspirational Story— Please Read!!! On Thursday, March 21st at Morehead first track meet of the season, Jordan Martin came out of the blocks in first place in the 110 hurdles and was well on his

way to a victory in our first conference track meet of the year. However, at the third hurdle, his trail leg clipped it and sent him to the track...falling and getting a big cut on his knee. At this point, Jordan quickly got up off the ground, got going again, and kept running (at this point he was in third place...almost in last). Jordan got up and kept running...he kept grinding and ended up catching the rest of the field and finished the event in

first place, catching the last runner after the final hurdle, only a few feet before the finish line. Principal Moody encouraged Jordan’s teacher to celebrate Jordan’s win in class a few days later to let Jordan know how proud we all are of his determination to not quit and to keep grinding even when he was faced with what most would see as overwhelming odds and a good reason to quit...(he has the scars to prove that).

After School Kids Tennis Clubs – THIS is tennis in Rockingham County We met 90 RCS students on their playground courts (or gym) for After School Kids Tennis Clubs in May. These after school programs were organized by PE teachers Mary Shelton, John Riddle, , Terri Schlosser, Justin Hall, and Susan Carter at Huntsville, Douglass, Dillard Academy and Holmes Middle School. Players learned to serve, rally and score with equipment provided by USTA’s Net Generation. Coach Shelby Rhyne and volunteers from Rockingham County Tennis Association led the 4-week club. This program is supported by a capacity building grant from the USTA Foundation and Southern Tennis Foundation.

While this may seem like a minor accomplishment in the grand scheme of things, he got up and got going, even when he was knocked down. This evening, he rightfully got one of the largest cheers of the entire night. How many of our students are faced with initial setbacks and give up? How many get a scar and a bruise and stop going? But Jordan took the path which most would not and ended up coming in first place...we all can learn from his determination. Jordan may be frustrated with his lack of perfection (which is required in hurdles), but his demonstration of deter-

mination and not giving up was perfect and is what it means to be a Panther! Jordan’s example can work to help others (and Jordan) realize that this relates to everything we are trying to accomplish at MHS and what we want our students to learn...grit, an undying need to win, and succeed!!!

JUNE 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 39 #

Seeds of Hope by Samuel Moore-Sobel A Day in the Life My sister recently returned from a college tour. The occurrence of spring break offered the exciting opportunity to crisscross the country, in search of where my teenaged sister will spend some of the most foundational years of her life. A junior, she still has some time before she must make one of the most consequential decisions she will ever have to make. It seems almost unfair to force teenagers to make this decision. A little more life experience might shed new light on what it means to go college, illuminate what’s really important about pursuing higher education. The dangers of going into massive amounts of debt, not to mention whether or not everyone readily knows exactly what career they would like to pursue, or which degree will readily help them achieve their goals. “You go into a quarter of a million dollars in debt, for what?” my mother says, as she reflects upon the trip. College admissions officers are ready with an answer. They promise “need-based” aid, scholarships, and work-study programs. They share success stories of recent graduates, offering prospective students hope that they too can achieve their dreams. They appear unruffled by the college debt crisis currently engulfing our nation. Recent estimates reveal student loan debt to be over 1.5 trillion dollars. What are the long-term economic implications of such a staggering amount of debt? “I feel like it’s totally hampering our economy on a bigger level,” my mother says, going on

Moore-Sobel to detail how students saddled with student loan debt are unable to purchase a home. “Homeownership is a huge part of our economy,” she says, speaking as someone who also happens to be a realtor. It will likely take a few more decades to parse out the results, but recent headlines have covered the plunging birth rates among Millennials, along with the delay in marriage and buying a home. “I can’t do both,” a Millennial co-worker just told me recently, as she determines what step to take first: get married or buy a house. Perhaps the rosy picture painted by colleges is not all that it seems. Could it be that in many cases, students are getting a raw deal? Watching my sister walk this road feels all too familiar. I, too, bought into the idea that going away to college – and incurring student loan debt – was a natural part of process. The stakes seemed low, nearly nonexistent. I would obtain a good job post-graduation, and live the life I imagined. Thankfully, my private institution got in the way. As they adjusted my tuition rate going into my sophomore year, suddenly the implications began to sink in. Without the additional “need-based” support, I decided to transfer to a college back

home, affording me the ability to live at home and graduate “debtfree.” A few years after graduation, I now see the benefits of not making a student loan payment each month all the more clearly. “She doesn’t understand the financial implications,” my mother says, in reference to my sister. Perhaps not. Yet going on a college trip and looking at the various price tags can help shift perspectives, allowing for the possibility of altering plans in an effort to provide for a sound financial future. After all, are massive amounts of debt justified for every student in pursuit of the average career? NYU may have instituted a groundbreaking solution. A recent 60 Minutes report highlights the school’s transition to offering medical school students a “tuition-free” education, valued at around $200,000 per student. According to the report, 85 to 86 percent of medical students graduate with some form of loans. This transition was made possible by donations totaling in the hundreds of millions of dollars, an effort that may come to serve as a model for schools across the nation. In order to attract the best students, the theory goes, other top medical schools will have to emulate NYU. Perhaps this could even be extended to institutions of higher education across the nation, in order to prevent rising tuition costs from saddling a whole new generation of students. In the meantime, students like my sister will have to decide what path is best for them. Each student in America is unique, and may require a different solution. For some, taking on loans may be a risk worth taking. For others, a more prudent path

might alleviate the possibility of long-term stress. Regardless, those of us who have already traveled this road can do our part to share our stories with others. Admittedly, I don’t have all the answers – none of us do. And, while I certainly have opinions

on which path my sister should take, her older brother will be there to support her either way. ` Whether she likes it or not. ` Samuel Moore-Sobel is a freelance writer. To read more of his work, visit www.holdingontohopetoday.com

Robocall Social Security Administration scams are on the rise. The Federal Trade Commission [FTC] says SSA telephone shakedowns specifically targeting senior citizens now surpass phony IRS calls, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens . For the past few years fake IRS calls topped the list of complaints received by the FTC. “But the new SSA scam is trending in the same direction – with a vengeance. People filed over 76,000 reports about Social Security imposters in the past year. Weber says that “these con men are ‘phishing’ for Social Security numbers that can be used to commit all kinds of online crime. They can use stolen SS accounts to take out loans in your name. In addition, they often try to extort money from you. Meanwhile, the solution is quite simple-- just hang up.”
