HONOR SOCIETY RCC - During a formal ceremony on April 24, at 7 p.m. in the Advanced Technologies Building Auditorium, 27 RCC students were inducted into Alpha Kappa Pi, Rockingham Community College’s chapter of the international honor society Phi Theta Kappa.

Worldwide, the society boasts more than 1.5 million members and 1,200 chapters. To be eligible for membership, a student must complete a minimum of twelve hours of associate degree course work and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

In his opening remarks, President of RCC, Dr. Robert Keys, said, “Congratulations to each of you for excelling in your chosen field of academic work.

An invitation to join Phi Theta Kappa is extended to only those who excel and show promise in

leadership, fellowship, and service in college and beyond.”

During the academic year, PTK members worked with the theme, “The Paradox of Affluence.” It is a theme keynote speaker Ed Handy, vice president and general manager of Plastics Revolution, Inc. of Reidsville used in his remarks.

“Our affluence as a society is causing problems globally, because we are so wasteful,” said Handy, who later in his address issued a challenge to those joining the society. “Reduce, reuse, and recycle everything that you can. Consider careers related to green initiatives so that we can improve the environment.”

As members, students are given opportunities for continued success, leadership development, and the chance to be accepted into top universities. They are also eligible to receive scholar-

Letter To The Editor We live in a beautiful community and until a few years ago I myself didn’t realize the importance of taking care of it. My father passed away a year ago and our family adopted a highway to clean.

We try to clean it once every 2 months but it seems like as soon as we clean it people load the road down with more garbage. This letter is to ask people to help with our highways and adopt a highway or please don’t throw trash out just keep it in your vehicle until you get home.

If we all help our community it will stay Clean and Green. Thank you very much.

NOTES FROM FORREST BRAY ROCKINGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISIONERS’ BUDGET MEETINGS Notes & Editorial:

April 22, 2009 : This meeting began at 8 a.m. and lasted until late in the afternoon. These long sessions are when the various department managers present their needs for the coming year. I find it very interesting to see where my tax money goes, but only two people not connected with the local government (including me) were present. By being present during budget meetings, we were able to get an idea about what it takes to run the county government. This is the third year I have attended hudget meetings and this one seems to be the most difficult to finalize because of the state of the economy. County Manager, Tom Robinson, stated that presently we are about $2 million short of money needed for budget requests.

May 11, 2009: This meeting began at 2 p.m. and lasted just over three hours. Again department managers were present and discussion of each department’s request followed. James Kallam, who recently had major surgery, was present at the meeting. This is a man who wants to be part of the governing process! I was the only person in the attendance who was outside the loop. This budget process is time consuming, but it is worth it to see what happenes. It is obvious that the Commisioners and others involved are trying hard to meet budget needs, but it will take alot of money and possibly a raise in taxes unless more cuts are made.

A lot of money will be needed to maintain building, roofs, mechanical equipment, vehicles, etc. Comissioners hope to have a balanced budget in two weeks.

The Regular Comissioners’ meeting was called into session.

The architect presented drawings of the animal shelter, showing that the building can be done in phases. The drawings showedthe use of “split block” which are not produced locally and are probably more expensive than brick. I was surprised that no one questioned the use of products not produced locally.

Whatever happened to the policy of buying local products when they are avaliable? No representative from Pine Hall Brick was in attendance to suggest use of their product. It was discussed that municipalities share maintentance costs for this shelter.

None of the municipalities had representatives present to speak toward this cost. This project will have to move fast if it is to be ready by 2010 when the Freeway Drive road improvement project will take the current animal shelter. Another question addressed was the amount of the yearly cost to maintain the shelter.

Rose Wray was present to ask Comissioners to continue to fund the theater group.

Steve Hale asked that a flat fee of $60 be charged for all 911 call that do not constitute an emergency, with no resulting transport of a patient involved.

They are getting calls for a cough, fever and other minor

complaints.

May 14, 2009 - Animal Shelter Committee Meeting This meeting was held at 6:30 P.M. at the Governmental Center. Drawings were presented and approved for a $1,700,000 budget. Mike Smith gave a time frame for drawings to be ready for bidding. The meeting was short, but a lot of discussion was held on fund raising, which is going well, especially when everyone pitches in and gives.

Smith - Stokes has donated a truck to be given away, with all profit going toward the shelter.

Tickets are $2 each; call 336634-0050 to purchase them.

Again is was not mentioned the use of locally produced material in building the shelter. Whatever happened to using local products for governmental buildings?

LITERACY

PROJECT

NEED YOU

Imagine not being able to read. 20 - 30% of Rockingham County adults have only basic reading skills. The Rockingham County Literacy Project is somewhere that adults can go to learn, but they need your help.

This literacy program, formerly administered by the Rockingham County Public Library and Rockingham Community College, has been in operation since 1980. It uses volunteer tutors to work oneon-one with adults on a regular basis to help them reach their goals.

What is required of Volunteers? You must enjoy being with people, have one to three hours per week to spare, like helping others, attend a training workshop, and keep a monthly calender.

Many adults can not read because of learning differences or disabilities, sight and hearing difficulties, missing too much school, being moved from school to school, and not receiving enough one-on-one attention.

Some of our students’ goals are, learning to read, getting a driver’s license, passing the GED test, and pursuing a new job or promotion.

To get involved call Jean Light Kinyon, Executive Director at 336-627-0007.

Please Help someone learn how to read, or how to read better.

Your help is very much needed and appreciated. ESL (English as a Second Language) tutors are also needed.

WENTWORTH - Sergeant Cliff Vaughn of the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office has received the Enrique S. Camarena Awardf rom the Elks. Vaughn won the Elks State Award and was a runnerup on the National Level.

Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was a federal Drug Enforcement Agent who was killed in the line of duty in 1985. The Elks Lodge award commemorates Agent Camarena’s dedication and commitment to law enforcement and his “one person can make a difference” spirit. Each year, the Elks sponsor the Camarena Award to recognize a law enforcement officer that

EDEN -The City of Eden Tourism Development Department has launched its new web site, www.ExploreEdenNC.com , as part of its on-going efforts to promote special events and tourism in the greater Eden area. The web site provides a comprehensive presentation of the attributes and activities Eden has to offer visitors to our community, as well as our citizens. The site map includes, area accommodations, transportation services, events and festivals, tourism venues, things to do, local community groups and efforts and interactive information, including Eden’s downtown newsletter, photographic tour and dining and shopping guide.

The establishment of the site demonstrates how the city recognizes the necessity of having a powerful digital presence on the internet, an increasingly important vehicle to transmit information. The web site includes a link to a Facebook social networking page— ExploreEdenNC--where the city’s activities are listed. After less than two weeks on line the Facebook page has over 500 “fans,” local residents as well as people from across the country who are now following the events taking place in Eden.

Eden is blessed with two rivers, the Smith and Dan. Approximately, five years ago, the city changed its city slogan to Land of Two Rivers in recognition of its rich river heritage.

RiverFest was established as the city’s primary outdoor festival in 2006. It has been described as the

best outdoor festival in Rockingham County and, in 2006, won a North Carolina Main Street Award for Best Outdoor Event. In 2008, the City of Eden established the position of Coordinator of Special Events and Tourism to support this form of economic development.

Tourism is the #1, #2 or #3 industry in every state of the union, so supporting tourism efforts is critical to a city’s economic development efforts.

“I believe this web site is something our citizens should be very proud of.

When you collectively put everything together that makes Eden special, you have an extraordinary portfolio. We want visitors and citizens alike to use this web site and our Facebook page,” remarked Cindy Adams, Coordinator of Special Events and Tourism for the City of Eden who initiated this project.

Thad Rodgers of Ad Graphic Resource collaborated with Ms. Adams on the web site. This was a four and a half month project that has resulted in almost eighty five pages of information on Eden’s tourism development efforts. The motel occupancy tax funded the creation of this web site. "It is an honor to have the opportunity to contribute a small, but valuable, representational tool to assist in the admirable efforts Eden has put forth for tourism and new business development," stated Rodgers.

For more information on the web site, contact Cindy Adams at 336-623-7789 ext. 3021.

The Wedding During the weeks before Jill's wedding, she was terribly anxious about making some mistakes at the ceremony. The minister reassured her several times, pointing out that the service was not difficult and she will do just fine."All you have to remember," he said, "is that when you enter the church you walk up the AISLE. The groom and best man will be waiting before the ALTAR. Then I shall request the congregation to sing a HYMN.... then we shall get on with the ceremony.

All you have to remember is the order in which those things happen and you can't go wrong."

The happy day finally arrived, and the bridegroom waited nervously for his bride to appear. When she arrived and stood alongside him, he heard her quietly repeating to herself, "Aisle, altar, hymn, aisle, altar, hymn." Or, as it sounded to him, "I'll alter him!"

The marriage of an 80 year old man and a 20 year old woman was the talk of the town. After being married a year, the couple went to the hospital for the birth of their first child.

The attending nurse came out of the delivery room to congratulate the old gentleman and said, 'This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?'

The old man grinned and said, 'You got to keep the old motor running.'

The following year, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their second child.

The same nurse was attending the delivery and again went out to congratulate the old gentleman.

She said, 'Sir, you are something else. How do you manage it?'

The old man grinned and said, 'You gotta keep the old motor running.'

A year later, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their third child. The same nurse was there for this birth also and, after the delivery, she once again approached the old gentleman, smiled, and said, 'Well, you surely are something else!

How do you do it?'

The old man replied, 'It's like I've told you before, you gotta keep the old motor running.'

The nurse, still smiling, patted him on the back and said: Well, I guess it's time to change the oil. This one's a little dark.'

DAUGHTER HONORS MOTHER’S MEMORY WITH SCHOLARSHIP RCC - While growing up in western Rockingham County, Kelli Frazier, of Greensboro, learned two things from her mother: you can be whatever you put your mind to, and always share when you see others in need.

Faye Frazier lost her life in an auto accident in 2006. While alive, though, she showed her belief in and commitment to education in many ways. She loved McMichael High School because of the opportunities it afforded

her children. Her daughter, Kelli, is now honoring that commitment to education and love of McMichael High School by establishing the the Faye Frazier Memorial Scholarship at Rockingham Community College.

Recipients of the Frazier Scholarship must be graduates of McMichael High School with a 2.5 or better grade point average.

Frazier Scholars may be traditional or nontraditional students enrolled full- or part-time in any study leading to an associate degree at RCC. Financial need must be demonstrated and preference will be given to applicants who have community volunteer experience.

“Assisting McMichael graduates needing financial aid to continue their education,” said Frazier, “is a way for me to memorialize a wonderful mother while living the important lessons she taught.” She quotes Mother Teresa to describe her mother’s philosophy: “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”

For more information or to make a donation to the scholarship, contact theRCC Development Office at 342-4261.

Judge James Harden sentenced Roberson to an active prison sentence of 24-29 years after the jury convicted him of First Degree Sex Offense with a Child and Indecent Liberties with a Child.

Rockingham County District Attorney’s Office indicted Roberson in April, 2007 for the incident involving a small child. In addition to the active prison sentence, Roberson was ordered to receive counseling and register as a sex offender.

Due to inconsistencies in James Stephen Wray’s testimony in a 1989 death of Ralph Edward Chumley, Ernest Wayne Jones of Eden no longer faces murder charges in the case.

Chumley was found beaten to death in 1989. During the investigation of the case Jones was also arrested for solicitation of commit first-degree murder and arson after he was taped during a sting by Wray, a family member, solicitating Wray to shoot Lisa Devine, and then to set her house on fire to cover up the crime.

Jones was sentenced in the solicitation case to six to eight years in prison. But the former case concerning Chumley has now been dismissed.

In addition to the active prison term, Smith received a 26-32 month suspended sentence, was ordered to register as a sex offender, and surrender his Law Enforcement Certification. After his release from prison, Smith will be on supervised probation for a period of 48 months.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Julia Hejazi said, “ Mr. Smith took advantage of his position of trust within the school system and as a law enforcement officer. His actions will affect him and the student for years to come.”

Mr. Mungaray will not recover from the injuries sustained in the incident.

The four fled the scene with a large quantity of jewelry, and were later apprehended in New Jersey. They were stopped

by New Jersey State Police and held there on weapons charged after the firearm used in the robbery was discovered during a routine traffic stop. The men were extradited to North Carolina in 2007. INS detainers were placed on the four men who police reports indicate are members of the MS-13 street gang.

Assistant District Attorney Melanie Bridge said, “Mr. Mungaray’s two daughters can grow up without fear, knowing these men are in prison.”

(Reidsville, NC) May 18, 2009 at about 10:21 a.m. Sheriff’s deputies received a report of suspected explosives on property located at 228 Trails End Road in the Williamsburg community of Reidsville.

The property was a former tobacco farm with a few old structures. These areas were being examined prior to an upcoming auction. Several items believed to be dynamite were found.

Deputies secured the scene, and the Greensboro Bomb Squad was called for assistance. They determined there were about 50 sticks of old dynamite stored in such a fashion that it could not be moved. It was unstable, and a decision to burn the “barn type” building was made.

With assistance from the Williamsburg Fire Department, a controlled burn was made to destroy the dynamite and eliminate the possibility of unintended discharge.

THE RALEIGH REPORT

OUTLOOK FOR THE 2009-11 BIENNIUM From the Office of Representative Nelson Cole

The recession that began in December 2007, spurred by the housing market downturn, spread throughout the economy during 2008. The global financial market collapse in October 2008 sent an already contracting economy into a prolonged and severe recession. It appears now that the worst may be behind us, but there remains a long way to go. The latest survey of national forecasters, compiled by the Wall Street Journal, indicates an economic recovery is unlikely until the last quarter of this year. I think that the State’s experience will track closely with the national picture.

This recession stands to be the longest economic contraction since the Great Depression.

Employment has always been a lagging economic indicator, not changing direction until well after the turn in the business cycle. This means North Carolina employment gains may not occur until the end of 2010. Since the January forecast, the employment outlook for the state has been downgraded. Employment is now expected to experience losses closer to 3% in FY 2009-10 rather than 1%.

Employment is closely tied to personal income, and employment losses from layoffs and cutbacks by key businesses such as the financial sector have dampened the prospects for income growth over the biennium.

The January forecast envisioned 2.1% and 4.9% growth in personal income for the respective fiscal years. Those numbers have been lowered to a negative 0.3% (-2.5% in wage & salary) and positive 2.4%, respectively.

During the last few years, retail sales in North Carolina have closely tracked the residential real estate market and consumer confidence. Sales in the foreseeable future will not be fueled by wealth from real estate.

Tighter credit, lower employment, and stagnant or falling wages will cause sales tax collections to continue to fall in the first part of the biennium. A modest rebound is expected in 2010-11.

The forecast has baseline sales taxes falling in 2009-10 by 4.0% and a mild up-tick of 2.1% the following year.

A key reason for another year of volatile April income tax revenue was capital gains on stocks and real estate. We think these were down 35% for 2008, following a 27% increase in 2006 and 34% in 2007. During the past cycle, an unusually large share of the rise was due to real estate.

This sector continues to be in decline, plus at the same time stock prices fell by nearly 40% by the end of 2008. The forecasting challenge is to acknowledge the long-term historical pattern of capital gains: a couple of years of hyper-growth are always followed by steep declines. For this reason the revised revenue forecast assumes another year of large losses, eroding any gains with another 40% drop for the 2009 tax year, and as losses con-

tinue to mount, a cautious 20% decline for 2010 tax year.

Corporate profits are expected to decline through 2009.

Rapid depletion of inventories has helped some businesses going into the rest of 2009 and 2010, but the severe global recession will assure weak demand for products even after the U.S. begins its recovery. Corporate income is always very volatile with yearly swings by as much as 30% to 40%.

Through April, corporate income tax collections were down about 18%. For the upcoming biennium, we think these receipts will be flat reflecting the very mild economic recovery, plus the losses from the lengthy recession will continue to be taken against the bottom line.

Putting all these assumptions together leads to an estimated 1.9% lower baseline of General Fund revenues in 200910, and 3.2% growth in 2010-11.

These rates compare to 9.2% in 2006-07, 3.1% in 2007-08 and the current unprecedented projection of -10.0% for 2008-09.

The revenue outlook for the 2009-11 biennium reflects a continuation of a severe and prolonged economic slowdown, with only a mild, slowly developing, recovery in 2010.

Employment will lag behind the recovery, and revenue collections will lag behind improvements in the employment picture.

Therefore, the prospect for revenue collections to return to long term growth patterns is not expected any earlier than 2011.

GED GRADS

PLAN

FOR FUTURE RCC - “The alarm clock is blaring, but this morning I’m happy because I am going to college.” – Margaret Smith, 2009 Rockingham Community College GED scholarship recipient and graduate.

On May 16, GED graduates like Smith finally got their chance to walk across a stage and receive a diploma, an important piece of official paper proving they had completed all of the requirements for a general educational development (high school equivalency) degree. It was a moment of pride.

In congratulating the graduates, Basic Skills Coordinator Margo Lindsey said, “We enjoyed helping you reach your goals.”

Smith was also one of three recipients of a 2009 GED scholarship. Three such scholarships, sponsored by the RCC

GED tests.

“The online component is new,” said Lindsey, “which makes this graduating class unique. Ninety-three have enrolled in the online program since it started in September and twenty-six of them have already graduated.”

Special recognition was given to the following for attaining the outstanding score of 3000 or better out of 4000 on the GED exam: Josh Cayton, Kathy Davis, Matthew Edwards, Crystal Hillard, Amy Kennon, Margaret Smith, Maria Thacker.

Another graduate, Brandi Neal, was notified that she is a recipient of a Miller Brewing Co. Train and Gain scholarship which she will use when she enters the RCC industrial technology program in the fall.

Commencement speaker, Susan Steinberger, community

Foundation, are awarded annually to individuals furthering their education at RCC. Smith, mother of a six-month-old, intends to become a teacher.

“Everyone sets goals for themselves and going to college will make all of mine come true,” she said.

The other recipients are Amy Kennon, who intends to earn an associate of science degree at RCC and then pursue a career as a paralegal, and Maria Thacker, who plans to graduate from RCC with an associate in applied science nursing degree.

Other individuals recognized at the ceremony were siblings Annie, Brenda and Harold Southern, as well as Benny and Patricia Brewster, a couple who took online GED preparatory work and then passed the written

resource coordinator for Goodwill Industries, summed up the meaning of the day. “You are never too old to pursue your educational dreams,” she said. “We all have barriers but we all have the strength within us to overcome them.”

Graduates are listed below: Brittany Angell, Jody Andrew Angell, Mary Arnold, Tameka Azucena, Mary Barker, Ruth Bateman, Patrick Billings, Veronica Blackstock, Crystal Boyd, Benny Ray Brewster, Patricia Ann Brewster, Josh Cayton, Brittany Craig, Lindsay Craig, Helen Cross, Christina Lynn Curry, Kathy Davis, Bridget Dejournette, Matthew Edwards, Rachel Gibbs, Candice Gibson, Michael Gilley, Marissa Gray, Heather Hanks.

The investigation conducted by the North Carolina SBI revealed the Trooper Gary Grissom acted in self-defense.

On December 22, 2008, Patrick Martin Curry was shot at Trooper Grissom’s Residence. Curry had made several threats to and regarding Grissom. Trooper Grissom knew Curry was armed and observed a firearm in Curry’s waistband. Investigation later revealed that Curry had a loaded 9 mm pistol in his waistband with the safety in the “off” position. Curry was a trespasser on Grissom’s property and the aggressor in the confrontation that followed. Curry was shot during the struggle with Grissom. Curry died January 5, 2009.

WENTWORTH – Donna Shumate and Susan Thompson were recognized at the Rockingham Community College graduation ceremony as recipients of the Excellence in Teaching Award for 2008-09.

Both began working at RCC in 1995.

Shumate, a full time assistant professor teaches the composition sequence English courses for first year students and American literature. Thompson, a part-time instructor and tutor in the AT3 (formerly MLC) lab, teaches business courses - executive terminology, beginning and advanced word processing, computer basics, and advanced text entry and formatting. She also teaches Microsoft Excel for the Division of Business Technology.

While Shumate has a master’s degree in English, she was not trained as a teacher.

Thompson tried other avenues but discovered teaching was her forte. So their paths were somewhat similar. Shumate was hired out of college as a technical writer for an Army ammunitions plant; she wrote training manuals on OSHA procedures. Next, she worked as a trainer in an insurance company, which gave her teaching experience. In the business world, she realized how important it was for everyone to be able to write and communicate effectively. When she was

PINS

&

offered the opportunity to teach English part-time at Guilford Technical Community College, she took it and later came to RCC. She also completed a post graduate degree in adult teaching and learning.

Thompson taught math for seven years at Rockingham County High School and from 1985-87, she taught remedial math part-time at RCC. After switching from math to business technology, she started teaching at UNC-Charlotte. Eight years later, she returned to RCC. “My strength,” said Thompson, “is problem solving.

When a student asks for help, I’m able to lead them to a solution.

I’m also good at explaining things in a way students can understand.”

Shumate believes that a successful instructor is one who has a passion for his/her subject.

“Every day I keep in mind how crucial good writing and critical thinking skills are for success in school and the workforce.

Therefore, if a student needs help, my door is always open.”

Students nominate instructors for the Excellence in Teaching award. “There are a lot of good instructors at RCC,” said Thompson, “so receiving this award was a tremendous honor.

Knowing that I’ve impacted students in a positive way is a good feeling.”

CAPS

NURSING CLASS RCC - The 24 graduating associate degree nursing students at Rockingham Community College held their capping and pinning ceremony May 12. For them, it was the culmination of a dream. They were congratulated

by Dean of Allied Health Thomas Harding, who also welcomed guests to the event.

Keynote speaker, retired RCC nursing instructor Louise Smith, commended the graduates for their career choice.

“Graduation is a commencement – commencement is a beginning, and this is the beginning of your career in nursing,” she said. “Always be prepared to learn from why and what is happening so that you will know how to correct problems.”

Student comments thanking their families for their support as they worked to attain their goals were read as each graduate-elect received a nursing pin and cap.

Special awards were presented to Jennifer Parrish and Jacque Williams. Parrish received the Faculty Award, given to the student who most demonstrates positive leadership qualities, initiative, care in the clinical setting, and pronounced improvement in his/her academic performance and grade-point average. Williams received the Peer Award, given to the student(s) whose classmates feel is a student role model and who represents the kind of graduate nurse they would choose should they

need nursing care.

Candidates for the 2009 nursing class at RCC include: Charlotte Baker, Katie Bloodworth, Kristin Butler, Rebecca Conway, Marissa Cox, Sara Davis, Whitney Dockery, Jesse Goble, Leslie Haynes, Jessica Hearn, Whitney Holt, Robyn James, Lauren Jessup, Kelli Jones, Amanda Mabe, Jennifer Parrish, Mindy Pulliam, Amy Price, Ashley Reising, Crystal Robinson, Lorelie Sprague, Tamika Watkins, Jacque Williams, Jessica Wright.

SHOOTING EDEN - On Sunday, May 9, 2009 at approximately 2:17 a.m., patrol officers responded to shots fired at the Golden Apple located at 634 Monroe St. Upon their arrival, a large crowd of people were encountered and a victim of an assault was located in the parking lot. The victim was a black male who refused to give his name reported he was assaulted by three black males on the sidewalk in front of the Golden Apple.

EMS was summoned to the scene, but the assault victim refused treatment. After dealing with the victim and attempting to interview witnesses, patrol officers located and collected several shell casings that included 9mm, .40 caliber, and .45 caliber shells.

Witnesses did identify two shooters and described those suspects as shooting into the air as they fled in separate vehicles. The witnesses identified the shooters as Shontae Broadnax and Earl Tinsley, but they refused to testify or to give any type of written statement. The following day during daylight hours, officers located and seized 26 shell casings. Our investigation continues

EDEN - For many years, citizens of Eden have received only six utility (water, sewer and garbage) bills a year - one every other month. Effective July 1, the Finance Department will begin billing on a monthly basis.

Monthly water and sewer bills provide frequent, timely feedback about your water consumption. In the past, a leak may not have been detected until the end of your two-month billing cycle and, as a result, you would end up paying for a leak for two months rather than only one month. In addition, monthly billing makes it easier for you to budget for water and sewer costs.

The Finance Department offers several convenient ways for citizens to pay many of their city bills. It provides citizens with new levels of convenience, cash management and benefits from credit card reward programs along with providing a safe, secure and proven way to reduce paperwork, speed transactions and eliminate errors.

Option I Electronic payments allow citizens to pay utility bills, recreation payments and other miscellaneous payments using all major credit and debit cards via our website: www.EdenNC.us Option II We can accept MasterCard, Visa and debit cards at the counter or MasterCard and Visa by telephone.

Option III Automatic bank draft.

Customers who prefer to pay by bank draft must come to the Finance Department to set up a bank draft.

Option IV We accept cash, check and money order by mail or in the office.

We hope that you will take the time to consider each of these payment options and hopefully one will work for you. The city does not charge additional fees for these payment types.

Our employees are eager to provide both service and infor-

as we continue to canvass the area to identify witnesses and collect information. Witnesses at or near the scene describe three vehicles with Virginia registration plates that were involved with the shooting that included a burgundy Nissan Sentra, a Gray Caprice with a blue hard top, and a black Honda.

During the course of the investigation , police learned that one of the shooting suspects, Reginald Earl Tinsley (AKA: Little E), is wanted out of Henry County, Virginia, for Kidnapping. Tinsley is a black male, 24 yrs-old, 6’1in height, 150 lbs. in weight with a tattoo on his neck. The second shooter, Shontae Devon Broadnax, is a black male, 28 yrs-old, 5’10 in height, and 150 lbs. in weight.

If anyone has information related to the shooting at the Golden Apple on May 9, 2009, or information as to the location of Reginald Earl Tinsley. please contact Lt. M.T. Frazier, Sgt. Clint Simpson, or Sgt. Richie Jeffries at the Eden Police Department at 623-9240 or 6239755.

DIABETES IN CHILDREN Diabetes is no stranger to many children. A life-long disease causing high levels of blood sugar, diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in children and teens. Recent evidence suggests that a common family of viruses may help trigger diabetes, especially in children. Sadly, diabetes is becoming familiar to an increasing number of children. The nation’s largest study of diabetes in young people found diabetes is on the rise in every racial and ethnic group studied.

What exactly is diabetes?

Often called juvenile diabetes, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. This means the immune system goes a little haywire. It mistakenly destroys pancreas cells that make insulin, a hormone that normally helps the body make energy from food. People with this type of diabetes must take daily injections of insulin for life.

With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas cells still produce insulin, but they don’t work the way they should. This type was formerly known as adult-onset diabetes because it mainly occurs in adults 40 and older. Now it is showing up in more and more children. Lifestyles that favor junk food and video games over exercise and healthy food choices may be a big part of the problem. Children or teens most at risk are overweight or obese and have a family history of the disease. American Indians, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders are also at increased risk.

Type 2 diabetes may be hard to detect in children. That’s because they don’t always have symptoms. Once diagnosed with blood tests, though, diabetes is often well managed with weight loss, exercise, and changes in diet.

When symptoms of diabetes do appear, they may include: • Frequent peeing • Extreme hunger or thirst • Unusual weight loss • Increased physical or mental fatigue • Irritability, jitteriness, or moodiness • Blurry vision So what’s the big deal about diabetes? What damage can it cause? Left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications, such as: • Nerve damage • Damage to the eyes, which can cause blindness • Kidney disease • Heart disease Doctors once thought these complications were unavoidable. Today, we know that controlling blood sugar can reduce or prevent them altogether. Doing this well does involve some big changes for your child – and possibly the whole family. And getting your child or teen on board at first may be tough. But you can do it!

To begin, you must check your child’s blood sugar often and keep accurate records. If your child takes insulin, you’re likely to check about four times a day, but you must test with either type of diabetes. It’s the only way to know what blood sugar levels are. You may need to do this more often on certain days, such as when your child is sick. Remember that our pharmacy staff can help answer your questions about these tests.

Managing diabetes well also involves exercise and meal planning. Your child will likely need to change what and when she or he eats. For example, healthy food choices require a careful balance and correct portion sizes of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. And, it’s important for your child to eat meals and snacks timed around insulin peaks. Sound complicated? With time, both you and your child can master these lifestyle changes. And, you can do it without depriving your child or teen of sleepovers, family vacations, extracurricular activities, and fun with friends.

JOBSNOW

TRAINING

COMING SOON

WENTWORTH – Rockingham Community College has received $250,000 to implement and operate the JobsNOW program in Rockingham County.

JobsNOW is a federal plan funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Its goal is to provide short term training – six months or less – so that individuals can reenter the work force.

Training is to be provided through the state’s 58 community colleges.

At RCC, Dr. Sheila Ruhland, vice president for instruction, is researching employment needs among area businesses and industries to determine their most pressing employment needs. Once those needs are identified, courses will be developed and delivered to train individuals for jobs in those targeted areas.

JobsNOW students will also earn a career readiness certificate. Now used in about half of the states in the U.S, the certificate is documented proof that an individual has attained a certain level of proficiency in applied mathematics, reading for information, and locating information.

RCC expects to begin offering the short term courses in August.

RUBY ROSE TEA ROOM

A SPECIAL PLACE FOR ALL

Many drive by the large Victorian house at the edge of town and don’t even think of it as a restaurant. But The Ruby Rose Tea Room is a very special restaurant.

You enter the foyer and your breath is taken away by the beauty of the walls, small intricate chandeliers, classical music playing and the special touch given to every inch of the place.

In the foyer hangs an old picture; a young lady in a pale dress who looks to be the epitome of grace. This is Ruby. Ruby Robertson, wife of CP Robertson, former residents of the home.

Ruby is only with us in spirit now as the home has a new life breathed into it by Lisa Crews. She chose the name Ruby Rose because everyone in town seems to remember the house as Miss Ruby’s and also for the love of roses which is evident in the interior design.

Lisa isn’t new to the business, she owned a similar restaurant in Summerfield called the Wisteria House, which was forced to relocate to a property that could eventually be purchased. She and her

His mom, Ruby, would have said it was a family tradition, as his father Ernest was the owner of Ernest Price Used Auto Parts.

David worked at many places repairing cars after his father’s business closed, even teaching Auto Mechanics for a while at Morehead High School. But his dream was to own his own shop.

David, who is ASE certified, and wife Rhonda worked hard for years, scrimped and saved and eventually took the leap and started their own business.

When asked what made them pick their location David said that he wanted to be “downtown” and that 603 Monroe Street was a prime corner.

David and Rhonda along with

their son Joseph who drives the wrecker and rollback, work the business that also employee Jeff Reichard, Scott Smith and Billy Phillips.

David hopes to offer new computer diagnostics in the near future and prides himself on the complete and personal auto service he always wanted to feature in his own business.

Open from 8-5 Monday through Friday, the couple live and work together and love meeting new people. They always have a smile for you.

The business will be celebrating their 5th Anniversary on June 14th and invite you to visit their location, see what they have to offer you in ways of vehicle care and maintenance.

If you want to be a part of Eden’s premier luxury apartments for Seniors 55 and older Call today and I’ll tell you about our fantastic Move in Specials. Our great amenities include:

For the fourth time in the last six years, the "Mamas and Papa" linedance group from the Eden YMCA have won the Rockingham County Silverarts gold medals in linedancing. They were also chosen "Best in Show" out of all performing categories to advance to State Senior Games Silverarts in Raleigh which will take place in September.

The group meets on a regular basis once a week, but admits having extra practices closer to competition time. Four of the dancers this year were either first or second timers with the group. Their instructor and choreographer, Debbie Smart, says that they all have a very good time dancing together, whether it's competition or just performing out in the community. She thinks that they work hard at mastering some of the "wild idea" steps that she comes up with in her sleep sometimes.

But mostly Debbie trys to stick to traditional line dance steps so they are not so difficult. She thinks the key to their success is how they learn the routines well enough to be able to just have "fun with it" and perform for the audience.

If anyone thinks they might be interested in joining the group or just taking regular line dance classes, please call Debbie at the YMCA to get information.

REAGAN DAY DINNER Jeffery Sykes

This year's Reagan Day Dinner was a resounding success for Republicans and conservatives in Rockingham County, as local and state leaders converged on the county to encourage people not to lose hope despite the ascendancy of big government and liberalism in America today.

The attendance was approximately 250 people and the enthusiasm was very exciting. The cafeteria at the Middle School in Wentworth was packed with people and the room was decorated in a patriotic theme. Carla Harper, second vice-chair of the Rockingham County Republican Party, and her committee were well prepared for the group. The food was served by the staff of Debbie's Catering.

The highlight of the evening was Congresswoman Virginia Foxx. She was direct and straight forward in her delivery. She expressed her concern that our country can be destroyed from within and that we are moving towards socialism in a quick way.

She also discussed National Health Care and encouraged everyone to look at the countries who have socialized medicine and the failure that even the medical experts in those countries tell us about.

Tom Harrington was a rousing crowd pleaser in his address. He

talked in detail about the merits of Ronald Reagan and Jesse Helms. He quoted many great people who admired both of these memorable conservative men who represented the people of America.

Among the impressive attendees were Skip Stam, House Minority leader, and Senator Phil Berger, Republican leader in the state senate. Rep. Bryan Holloway, who represents Rockingham and Stokes counties in the House of Representatives, attended and gave the dinner guests a picture of what it is like to be a Republican in the state house where the liberal Democratic majority denies such popular bills as Defense of Marriage and Taxpayer Bill of Rights from moving out of committee.

Also present were Tom Fetzer. former three term mayor of Raleigh who is running for the position of NC Republican Party Chairman. Chad Adams, who is running for the same position and attended our county convention in March, sent his representative to the dinner.

All interested conservatives are encouraged to join the Rockingham County Republican Party. Visit www.rockgop.com for more information and to sign up for our email list.

According to Copeland, the most important aspect of his art is in the conveyed message.

Whether still life or landscape, the images have a narrative quality – in which ideas and situations are depicted in metaphor.

His work speaks of a motivation beyond simple pictorial representation.

Cinemas, previous tenants of Kingsway Cinema ceased operations in mid-2008. City of Eden Economic Development Director Mike Dougherty had spent many months seeking a new tenant, a process that was hindered by the economic recession and credit crisis. After working with the shopping center owner, The Rosen Group of Boca Raton, Florida, a lease agreement was reached between the Robertson’s and this company.

Kingsway 4 will offer first run movies at the discounted ticket price of $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children. All tickets for matinees will be $3.00.

The theater will operate seven days per week. “It was a tremendous loss when Carmike closed the doors of the theater,” stated Dougherty. “We are extremely grateful to the Robertson’s for re-opening the theater and to The Rosen Group for its willingness to make this a workable agreement for all those involved.”

“We feel blessed to be able to open the theater,” remarked David Robertson. “We are also grateful to the city for its help in negotiating this lease.” Judy Robertson echoed the sentiments of her husband. “We are happy to be doing a community service in re-opening the theater.” While the theater will begin operations on May 29th, a Grand Opening is slated for a later date.

Movie enthusiasts can follow the Kingsway 4 movie schedule by visiting their web site, www.kingsway4.com.

Movie schedules will also be published in other media outlets.

Award Presented The American Legion Scholastic Award was presented to Cadet Colonel Derek Meojess during AFJROTC unit NC-961’s Annual Military Ball and Awards Banquet 16 May, 2009.

WILDLIFE Officer Joyce was at the Bethlehem Church Road river access when he observed an older model red Chevrolet pickup truck, without a bumper; enter the access area with a white male and female in the front cab and 2 other men in the back cargo area. The truck was displaying a temporary tag registration that was mounted in the back glass.

Joyce states one of the men in the back threw a beer bottle into the river. Joyce approached the man and observed him wearing white shorts, sandals and a black t-shirt. The man appeared intoxicated and as Officer Joyce was writing a citation, the man was making comments about jumping into the river.

As Officer Joyce was writing the citation for littering, he heard a splash and believed the intoxicated man to have jumped into the river. Eden Rescue and members of the Sheriff’s Office assisted Officer Joyce in his search for the man but without success.

Shortly before 9 p.m. the search was ended due to darkness. At about 8 a.m. tomorrow, the search will continue in an effort to locate Buford Hutson Jr., 41, of 1824 Delaware Avenue

At first glance, the name MyeBatch.com may look confusing and be passed off as just another dot.com. That would be a mistake.

MyeBatch.com is a product with a solution necessitated by our current tough times.

Tough times happen for a reason. It’s the marketplace saying in no uncertain terms the old way isn’t working anymore.

Until recently, the sound of cash registers ringing with customers lining up in checkout lines was the accepted way of doing business. Today, it’s the soft clicks of a mouse or a smart phone in the hands of a consumer miles away which are beginning to drive commerce.

And that will only increase.

MyeBatch.com is designed to be part of that new way of doing business.

MyeBatch.com is the first interactive search engine of its kind in the nation. It’s designed for local businesses that want to expand their effectiveness and reach in the Piedmont Triad Area.

16 Piedmont Triad Area Chambers of Commerce are actively involved with this undertaking, which was unveiled May 1st at the High Point Chamber of Commerce.

While virtually every other search engine offers general information to a wide area, MyeBatch.com, which is free for the consumer, centers its searches specifically to the 12 county Piedmont Triad Area. That allows local businesses to effectively compete with national chains in the growing arena of e-commerce. It does this through a powerful search engine data base which produces affordable qualified leads which the vendor or service provider has the option of accepting or rejecting.

Leads are just $5 for a chamber member, $10 for a non-member. If a lead is rejected, there is no charge, making MyeBatch.com a very affordable pay-as-you-go marketing system.

The feature which really makes MyeBatch.com standout from the e-commerce crowd is ebatching, or the ability for the consumer to send from 10 to 20 choices in any specific category to multiple businesses with one or two clicks. The consumer is given a speedy option to the often long and tedious process of contacting multiple businesses while the vendor/service provider knows they have a qualified lead from a consumer needing service.

For the consumer wanting to thoroughly research a business, MyeBatch provides four sources of elevated information. The first source is the general listing in the local area called up by the consumer, followed by the consumer option of accessing a snippet of any desired business. The third choice is going to the profile page of a participating business, which is provided free to all chamber members and not available to non-chamber members unless they participate in the

ebatch leads system. The fourth option is a hyperlink to the webpage of the researched business.

MyeBatch.com is the product of a group of Piedmont Triad Area entrepreneurs headed up by John Burton of Burlington, who came up with the idea with program-designer Tony Rector of Greensboro. It started when Burton spent hours of effort with little to show for it when contacting numerous businesses needed for the building of his restaurant.

After 20 months and well-over a hundred program revisions fueled by constructive feedback, MyeBatch.com is now in its construction phase.

Its online launch date is October 1, 2009, the beginning of the all-important fourth-quarter of the business calendar. Prior to that, businesses will be able to sign up to be a part of MyeBatch.com by contacting their local chamber of commerce.

By Bernie Moore, Fire Chief

The weather is breaking and we are having more and more warm, sunny days. This is the time of year when we want to be outdoors and enjoy the pleasant environment. Many of us like to grill and cook our favorite foods outside; however, grilling can be hazardous. Between 2003 and 2006 in the U.S., fire departments responded to an average of 7,900 home fires involving grills, hibachis or barbecues.

There were 120 reported injuries and $80 million in direct property damage. In 2007, 18,600 people went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills.

Before we fire up our grills, we need to consider safety tips that can help prevent trouble during those good times.

Safety tips • Propane and charcoal BBQ grills must only be used outdoors.

If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces, such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.

Search and Rescue Missing Children Missing Elderly Missing Disabled Evacuation Notices Evacuation Routes Public Works Drinking Water Contamination Utility Outages Street Closings Public Notifications Crime Prisoner Escape Warning Neighborhood Crime Watch Support Corporate Rapid Internal Communication Rapid Client Notification Notification of Large Public Events The use of CodeRED® by the City of Eden is intended to maximize our ability to communicate critical information to our citizens quickly.

If you have further questions please feel free to call Fire Chief Bernie Moore at 623-7789, ext. 3032.

AT THE GRILL

• Position the grill well away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.

• Place the grill a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic.

• Keep children and pets away from the grill area: declare a

three-foot "safe zone" around the grill.

• Put out several long-handled grilling tools to give the chef plenty of clearance from heat and flames when flipping burgers.

• Periodically remove grease or fat buildup in trays below grill so it cannot be ignited by a hot grill.

Charcoal grills • Purchase the proper starter fluid and store the can out of reach of children, and away from heat

sources.

• Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals or kindling have already been ignited, and never use any flammable or combustible liquid other than charcoal starter fluid to get the fire going.

Propane grills • Check the gas cylinder hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will quickly reveal escaping propane by releasing bubbles. If you determine your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and grill. I f the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.

• If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department.

Do not attempt to move the grill.

• Use only equipment with the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions on how to set up the grill and maintain it.

CHARLIE POOLE - A FABULOUS WEEKEND M. S. Aiken

A fish fry! A float down the river! A historical banjo demonstration and lecture! And of course a first–rate concert of topof-the-line old time and bluegrass bands and a whole day of amateur competition with big cash prizes!

The Charlie Poole Music Festival at the Fairgrounds in Eden, NC, on June 12-14, will be offering a tremendous family weekend at a nominal cost.

Camping is available at a low rate of $10 per night with a $20 maximum, and tickets at the gate for the whole event are $25 and are discounted if bought on line by June 5. Children 12 and under free.

On Friday evening the Festival, which begins at 6 PM at the Eden Fairgrounds, will be honoring Joe Thompson, probably the last of the old-time

African American fiddlers, with a Lifetime Achievement Award— and what a lifetime! At 90 years of age, he has been fiddlin’ most of his long life. One of the stars of the Carolina Chocolate Drops group, Dom Flemons, will also perform at the Friday night concert. The line-up for the evening includes the exciting New York group, the Wiyos, as well as The East River String Band and Faster Than Walking. Tickets for Friday night only are $15.

One of the best known cooks in the area, Kitty Cohen of Cohen’s Tea Room, will be doing a fish fry for festival patrons Friday evening and Saturday also. Lots of popular carnival food will be available. Bring your lawn chair and settle in for a great time.

Saturday will see a whole

day of competition, starting with the Youth Division in the morning, all the way through to the $500 Grand Prize competition for old-time 3-finger banjo. A full list of categories and prizes can be found at www.charlie-poole.com.

Interspersed in the program of competitors there will be opportunity to hear Kinney Rorrer’s New North Carolina Ramblers, the Carolina Roustabouts with George Underwood (probably one of the last people to have seen Charlie Poole personally), and Pete Peterson & Kellie Allen—Pete has been a Grand Prize winner, and they have been both competitors and judges.

On Sunday morning at 10 AM Greg Adams, musician, archivist, and historical researcher, will give an illustrated

talk and demonstration of the historical development of the modern banjo, drawing on his research trips to West Africa and his apprenticeship with native African experts. He will be followed by Henry Sapoznik, fresh from his adjunct professorship at the University of Wisconsin, with a fascinating look into the life, times and music of Charlie Poole, featuring examples from his Grammy nominated 78 reissue anthology, "You Ain't Talkin' to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music."

The Dan River Basin Association and the Three Rivers Outfitters are offering an extra treat on Sunday afternoon as a benefit for the Festival: a float down the beautiful Smith and Dan Rivers, starting at 2 PM from the historic area of Spray

where Charlie Poole lived and worked (sometimes!) and played.

For $35 they offer a guided 2hour river trip, canoe or kayak rental, equipment, and shuttle back to the starting point.

Left Handed Little Ricky was spending the weekend with his grandmother after a particularly trying week in kindergarten.

His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday.

It had been snowing all night and everything was beautiful. His grandmother remarked, "Doesn't it look like an artist painted this scenery? Did you know God painted this just for you?"

Ricky said, "Yes, God did it, and he did it left handed."

This confused his grandmother a bit, and she asked him, "What makes you say God did this with his left hand?"

"Well," said Ricky, "we learned at Sunday School last week that Jesus sits on God's right hand!"

The Blonde and the Lord A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the ice.

After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole. Again from the heavens the voice bellowed, THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." The blonde, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end of the ice. She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut her hole.

The voice came once more, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "IS THAT YOU, LORD?" The voice replied, "NO, THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE HOCKEY RINK" The Bus Wreck A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. As they stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter Paradise and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person one wish because of the grief they have experienced.

They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is.

"I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done.

The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too" Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.

This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts laughing.

When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off.

Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and says: "Make 'em all ugly again."

NEXT TIME YOU'RE LAST IN LINE. BE HAPPY Hmmmmmm.....

Read it all the way through.

More Moms like this would result in a better world!

Poem to MOM My son came home from school one day, With a smirk upon his face.

He decided he was smart enough, To put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics 2, that's taught by Mr. Wright It's all about the laws today, The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room, Don't have to cut my hair No one can tell me what to think, Or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion, And regardless what you say, I don't have to bow my head, And I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want, And pierce my tongue & nose.

I can read & watch just what I like, Get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me, I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges, With the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me, My body's only for my use, Not for your hugs and kisses, that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals, Like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control, And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights, So you can't influence me, Or I'll call Children's Services Division, Better known as C.S.D.' Mom's Reply and Thoughts Of course my first instinct was to toss him out the door.

But the chance to teach him a lesson Made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face, he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping At the local Goodwill Store.

I told him, 'Pick out all you want, there's shirts & pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D Who said they didn't care If I bought you K-Mart shoes Instead of those Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment To take your driver's test.

The C.S.D. Is unconcerned So I'll decide what's best..

I said 'No time to stop and eat, Or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn To make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite, And wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions, A favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie, To watch on my VCR?' 'Sorry, but I sold your TV, For new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room, You'll l take the couch instead...

The C .S.D. requires Just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now, I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used to get, Will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski, Dirt-bike & roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights', It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying, Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out, Instead of C.S.D.?

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use.

Toothpicks?

EDEN CITY COUNCIL MEETS Eden City Council met on Tuesday, May 19th to make decisions on several undisputed items, making for a short meeting.

Cindy Adams, of Economic and Tourism Development, presented the new Eden Tourism website, with Thad Roger noting the features and advantages it will have; noting that the site is ranking high on the search engine and it isn’t even finished yet.

Adams also spoke of the great success of the first Ladies Nite Out held in Downtown Leaksville Shopping District.

She said the merchants were very pleased with the turn out and she heard many visitors state they didn’t know that all these businesses were downtown.

The Eden Farmers market will open soon, featuring music, some stores staying open longer, fresh produce and more. This will come to downtown Leaksville area from June through October and the market will be located in the city parking lot near the pocket park.

One citizen stood to report her water quality and pressure are causing many problems in her life. Faye Perdue, 1925 Scott Street, in the Draper Section noted that she is at “the end of the line” when it comes to water service. In her new home, she has experienced poor water quality, can’t use her dishwasher due to no pressure and has had to replace a washing machine due to the sediment in the water.

Perdue brought in several jars of water for the council to see and showed a couple of her laundry items which were ruined by the water coming from the city.

She was told to have a licensed plumber flush the water heater at the city’s expense and that by July the problem will be addressed by replacement of lines already on the schedule to be performed.

• Changes were made in the zoning texts to apply the exact language mandated by the North Carolina General Assembly.

• Mariam Moore was appointed to the Tree Board • The sale of surplus properties was approved including 131 Greenwood St., and 911 McConnell Street.

Various budget amendments and the acceptance of maintenance and street dedication for a portion of Oleander Drive rounded out the meeting.

BOARD

OF

TRUSTEES

WENTWORTH The McMichael Civic Center was a major point of discussion during the May 12 meeting of the Rockingham Community College Board of Trustees. Dr. Tony Gunn, associate vice president of administrative services, told members that Calloway Johnson Moore and West, the architectural firm secured for the civic center design, are a “few weeks away from completing the construction design phase.”

Gunn explained the approval process for the design plans and estimated bids for the project can be sent out by late summer or early fall.

As a follow-up, Richard Powell, campaign director for the “Fulfilling the Promise”fundraising effort for the McMichael Civic Center, presented the

RECEIVE CIVIC CENTER UPDATE

trustees with a timeline of his recent activities. Since February, Powell has met or talked extensively with numerous state and federal officials and representatives concerning funding for the civic center project, including Rep. Brad Miller and Sens. Kay Hagan and Richard Burr. He is also pursuing funding through the Golden LEAF Foundation, the Economic Recovery and Investment Act, the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, and through various charitable foundations. These efforts will compliment the general public campaign for private donations.

Another topic of discussion included the Jobs NOW “12 in 6” Project. As explained by Dr. Sheila Ruhland, vice president for instruction, the new project is

an initiative to identify jobs within an area for which people can be trained in six months or less and must include participation in the Career Readiness Certificate program and the Human Resources Development program, both offered on the RCC campus. RCC received $250,000 to fund programs providing this training. Ruhland said she has begun the process of identifying which programs would best serve the employment needs of this county. A plan resulting from that assessment must be finished and submitted to the NC Community College System office by June 25. Program start dates will be determined afterward. Funding for the programs will be available July 1.

Board members also heard from Dr. Felix Nyako, professor

of business administration and faculty advisor to Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE). Nyako explained the purpose of SIFE and noted projects in which its members have participated including a mentoring program to a county youth organization and computer assistance to a local small business.

“This year, the RCC SIFE team was runner-up in the state competition where they presented these projects, which had a profound impact on the SIFE members and the community they served,” said Nyako.

Turning to other business, Dr. Robert Keys, RCC president, asked the board to approve a fee schedule for external use of the distance learning facility, which is equipped for activities such as teleconferencing.

“The college receives more and more requests each year from outside groups, government agencies, education groups and non-profit organizations to use our distance learning facility,” said Keys.

The board approved a fee that will cover the direct cost of facility use – set up, break down, and a technician’s assistance.

In other business, the board approved Keys’ request for the authority to operate the college at its present restricted spending level until the 2009-10 budget is received. The board also accepted the North Carolina Community College System program audit.

The next scheduled meeting will be July 14 at 4 p.m. in the Gwyn Board Room at RCC.

How Many Words Can You Make With The Letters G R A D U AT I O N

EDEN - Someone once said, “ A picture is worth a thousand words.” If that is so, then the Eden Historical Museum, an initiative of the eden Preservation Society, has just inherited an historical treasure worth 10 million words!

The Eden Historical Museum was established a little over a years ago for the purpose of preserving and protecting the rich heritage and history of Eden.

Recently the museum was given a rare treasure – the photographic collection of Harold Francis. This collection comprises nearly 100,000 photographs and negatives documenting the history and citizenry of Eden for over a century. The estimated cost to properly archive and digitize this collection is $10,000.

In order to afford this the museum is inviting citizens to become a Founding Friend of the museum with your tax-deductible

gift of $100 or more to preserve this priceless collection.

There were over 1,600 visitors from 13 North Carolina counties, 6 Virginia counties and 8 states to view the temporary exhibits.

A dedicated group of volunteers have given many thousands of hours helping to build the permanent exhibit areas and collecting, documenting, interpreting and displaying materials.

The rent-free building generously supplied by Jean and Thomas Harrington is just the beginning of the accomplishments of this young museum.

Over $46,000 in cash, stock and in-kind contributions including carpet were donated by contributors such as Mohawk, the Eden Preservation Society, Home Saving and Loan Foundation, Fair Funeral Home, Luther Hodges, Jr., Homer Wright and others.

North Carolina Comprehensive Cancer Program Executive Director Walter L. Shepherd, far right, toured Morehead Memorial Hospital's Smith-McMichael Cancer Center as part of his visit with the hospital's Cancer Committee. Shown with Shepherd are oncologist Kenneth Karb, hospital President and CEO W. Carl Martin, and Eden surgeon and Cancer Committee Chairman Henry Fleishman.

STATE CANCER PROGRAM DIRECTOR VISITS MOREHEAD EDEN -Morehead Memorial Hospital was pleased to host a presentation on the North Carolina Comprehensive Cancer Program delivered by Executive Director Walter L. Shepherd.

Funded by the NC Division of Public Health, the Comprehensive Cancer Program coordinates the development and implementation of the NC Cancer Plan, which seeks to improve cancer outcomes throughout the state.

“I’m here to learn from you,” Mr. Shepherd told members of the Morehead Memorial Hospital Cancer Committee following his tour of the Smith-McMichael Cancer Center. “You’re doing some great things in this community, things that I am going to borrow from you and take back.

That incredible idea in your radiation oncology of projecting television images for the patient to watch. I haven’t seen that anywhere. And I have visited all but four cancer centers in the state,

and no one has that. You have a lot to be proud of.”

Mr. Shepherd said North Carolina was picked by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to be one of six pilot states to develop a program called Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control. Since that time, primary funding has come from CDC, and North Carolina is considered to have one of the best programs in the country.

“In 2006, we came to realization that what we were doing was pretty well stagnant,” Mr. Shepherd said. “So in 2006 we created a vision that we would become collectively the national leader in cancer prevention and control.”

Elements of this vision included promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles, providing universal access to screening and early detection, having patient and family centered care that is accessible and affordable, and having a

cancer survivorship approach that is a collaboration between the patient, family, community, and health care system.

“All of these are issues you are addressing day to day at Morehead Memorial Hospital and in the community,” he said.

“At the national level we work very closely with the ACS, National Cancer Institute, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and others.”

Cancer survivors are invited to attend the 3rd Annual NC Comprehensive Cancer Program Survivorship Summit, June 2526, 2009, at the Greenville (NC) Convention Center. This year’s program, “Charting the Course for Survivorship,” will allow cancer survivors, patients and caregivers an opportunity to give feedback related to the experience of cancer in their lives. The program also will provide information on cancer resources.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. A limited number of room scholarships are available for survivors only who need an overnight stay. For more information or to pre-register, call (919) 707-5337 or : Kenisha.Bethea@ncmail.net.

DRS MEDICAL SUPPLY COMPLETES ACCREDITATION WITH ACHC DRS Medical Supply of Eden proudly announces its award of accreditation status by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC) for the services of medical supply provider.

ACHC , a private, not-for-profit corporation which is certified to ISO 9001:2000 standards, was developed by home care and community-based providers to help companies improve business operations and quality of patient care. Referring to the value of accreditation, ACHC President Tom Cesar indicated, “The survey process leads an organization to examine its policies and practices continually to clarify its strengths and improve its weaknesses.”

Accreditation is a voluntary activity where healthcare organizations submit to peer review of their internal policies, processes and patient care delivery against national standards. By attaining accreditation, DRS Medical Supply has demonstrated its commitment to maintain a higher level of competency and strive for excellence in its products, services and customer satisfaction.
