Dancing with Horses At first glance, Natalie Horton, age 15, the daughter of Marion and Martha Horton of Eden, NC, isn’t your ordinary, everyday teenager. But then take another look at her normal daily routine. In addition to regular homework, Natalie spends weekends and most of her time riding horses and competing in local and regional events. When asked if she considers herself a normal teenager she said, “I think self motivation and my solid grounding in my faith definitely play a big part in who I am. Right now I don't have a lot of the 'normal' teenager distractions in my life, but I am still a teenager." In my free time, when I can find any, I also love fishing, doing things outside on the family farm, and I like to play volleyball. I love to sing all the time, at the barn, when I am working, and in church. I also like to play the piano. I enjoy hanging out with my friends. I am blessed to have friends who are so understanding when I can't make it to a function with them because of my committments at the barn.” Natalie was asked when she knew she wanted to ride horses, “Well, I've always had a love for horses. It takes hard work and determination. Sometimes seven days a week, almost always 3 to 4 hours. It's a constant ongoing process,” says the teen. How does she juggle time with the horses, other activities plus school time? “I am home schooled so this is definitely a blessing.” But family support is a big factor, too. Making sure she gets to practice every day, to the venues and is ready to compete is a big task in itself. “My parents have always been my biggest fans,” she adds. Starting out with training at Graystone Farm, Natalie worked to gain the basic skills needed in her field, and being very competitive, which she admits she gets from her

father, she soon chose to begin classical dressage training at Cedar Hills Farm in Reidsville, NC. "I have never been very good at dancing so when my friends started wearing leotards and tights, I decided to experience the same grace by making my horses dance," Natalie said, noting that dressage is a methodical way of training your horse to move gracefully as if dancing, with the rider's job being to make the horse feel so comfortable, that it looks as if the horse is performing the moves all on their own and with ease. Natalie’s first horse, Goldie, was an older Palomino Quarter Pony, a lesson pony for many years, who the Hortons bought from a horse trader. She came off the trailer in poor condition, ribs showing and her coat was far from golden. But that soon changed dramatically under the then 12-year-old Natalie's loving care. Soon Goldie’s ribs were no longer protruding and her coat beautiful to represent her new show name Golden Opportunity. Although Goldie still

had moon blindness, a re-occurring eye infection, the two developed into a graceful pair under the guidance of her trainer, Cindy Norton. After entering several local shows and one horse trial, the Hortons realized that Natalie had outgrown the pony and Goldie would go on to Dancing... continued to page 25

Eden Kiwanis Club

As you may know, several years ago the Eden Kiwanis Club accepted the responsibility of conducting the annual "Ole Fashioned Fourth" celebration at the request of the City of Eden. This event, which features music, rides, games, food and fantastic fireworks display, has been a cornerstone event for the area for over 40 years, and we hope to be able to offer this celebration to the community for many years to come. Admission is, and has always been, free to the public. Vendors providing food and rides pay fees that only cover a small component of the cost to make this event possible. Budgetary estimates suggest that to provide a celebration in keeping with the scale of prior years, expenses will be approximately $16,000. In light of the many things that are happening in the world today, American maintains its dominance as a world power. We Dear Editor, As a Vet of Iraq and Afghanistan I have an appreciation for our vets of past wars. Especially our WWII Vets. We are losing 1000 WWII Vets every day and they are now in their late 80’s most in their 90’s. If you would, remind people to shake these folks hands and thank them when you see them. If in a restaurant, pay for their meal.

They are our greatest Generation and appreciate the recognition. Soon, they will be gone. I was at a car show in Roanoke over the weekend. A WWII Vet was with his family just looking at cars. He was in a wheelchair and wearing his hat “WWII Vet” with pride. I shook his hand and gave a simple Thank- You. I saw tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. His family thanked me for that simple gesture. Very Humbling. Just thought I would share. Jeffrey Pruett

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life

JUNE 2013 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 3 ¶

11th Annual Piedmont Pottery Festival RCS Preschool Trike-A-Thon Event Rockingham County Preschools geared up for the fifth annual Lisa Lawson Fargis TrikeA-Thon during the week of April 29 - May 3. The event taught preschool children riding toy safety while raising funds to replace tricycles in the preschool classrooms. The money raised by this preschool event will help purchase new tricycles for preschoolers in the schools. Lisa Fargis was an educator with Rockingham County Schools for 29 years before her untimely and sudden death from cancer. Lisa was the coordinator of Rockingham County School’s Preschool Program for 13 years. She was instrumental in developing a state model preschool program in the county. Lisa was well-loved and respected among the many agencies and families that she collaborated with to pro-

vide services for preschool children. Lisa’s sole mission in her personal and professional life was to help others. This fund helps continue Lisa’s legacy and honor her memory. Prior to the event, the preschool students learned about bicycle and riding toy safety. The final celebration of this fundraising, safety awareness event was the Trike-A-Thon, held at Freedom Park in Eden, on May 3. The grand total raised throughout Rockingham County Preschools was $3,237.22. Marla Joyce-Nelson’s PreK class at Stoneville Elementary was recognized as the top fundraising class with $450.90. Also recognized was Riley Isley from Julie Matejko’s PreK class at Monroeton Elementary for being the top fundraising individual.

The City of Eden will host the 11th Annual Piedmont Pottery Festival on Saturday, June 1, 2013 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at 220 Kingsway Plaza, King’s Hwy in Eden, NC. This event has always featured the finest in handcrafted pottery from across North Carolina and southern Virginia.

Keystone foods partners with County Sheriff’s office for schools Bad economic times almost always resulted in cuts to the programs offered in our schools and communities. Everyone Struggles to meet their budgets. To put it simply, the funds just aren't available. No matter where this occurs it hurts everyone it touches. One of the first places affected if the school systems of various arts programs; Music, art and drama classes are cut, giving priority to core curriculum classes. Remember art classes when you were in school? Were you in the marching band or performed in a the play? Besides wonderful memories, these programs provide our children with invaluable learning opportunities. High

school students who participate in the arts score and average of 58 points higher on their verbal SAT score and 38 points higher on their math SAT score than those students who take no art classes. Students in the arts develop problem-solving skills and an increase in creativity thinking and social skills. Without these programs, our children will not receive the balanced education they deserve. " Readin', ritin', and 'rithmatic" May feed the mind, but the arts feed the mind and the soul! Keystone foods and the Rockinham County sheriffs office Are partnering to sponsor the first annual Keystone cops for the arts event on Saturday, June

29, 2013 to raise money for the various arts programs throughout the Rockinham County school system. This will include a 5K run/walk and bicycle rides of 10, 30, and 60 miles. We hope you and your organization, will participate in this event! While we hope to raise money for him the entry fees and team support, additional donations are crucial to the success of this program. Please consider making a pledge to a worthwhile calls, your gift will go far in guaranteeing that the arts will continue to be an important part of the school curriculum and Rockinham County, and our children's education.

Choose with confidence. Carolina Cross Connection (CCC) announces that it will be expanding their summer home repair ministry to residents of Rockingham and Guilford. Residents in these counties have the opportunity to receive minor home repairs free of charge from the ministry, which is based in Concord, N.C. and serves 22 Western NC counties each summer. College students of CCC will be offering their services to the elderly, poverty-stricken, disabled, and other folks in need. Carolina Cross Connection is a nonprofit Christian mission organization which was started in 1988. This summer, CCC will bring in more than 1,400 volunteers, with the goal of working for more than 800 families in all

the counties they serve. CCC offers services such as light construction, interior and exterior painting, yard work, and general house cleaning. The work is offered free of charge. Homeowners are encouraged to provide any needed building materials or to help with those expenses, though it is not required. "The staff and participants of CCC look forward to spending the summer in western North Carolina, but they need some folks to put them to work," said CCC administrator Krista Petty. "Our volunteers strive to do more than just work," said Petty, "but to impact people's lives and this community for the better." Volunteers serving Guilford

and Rockingham residents will be housed at Camp Guilford in Reidsville, one of six locations from which CCC will operate this summer. At each location, church and college groups from across North Carolina in the southeastern U.S. form work teams that go out to serve in the surrounding communities.

“Lead”ing the way to better business in Rockingham County Would you like to be a part of... - A group of business owners that simply want to meet, eat and talk about business? - A group that is very informal and can supply “leads” that every business cherishes? - A group that costs nothing and supports your local business, wanting to make a network of like minded people. - A group that meets locally weekly at El Parral in Eden for lunch and conversation? Simply eating lunch with friends and growing your buisness at the same time? Then you have found the place to be any Wednesday you are free join the Rockingham County Leads Group in the Party Room (or occasionally in the back room) of El Parral Restaurant734 South Van Buren Rd., Eden. Just come in, sit down, and bring your cards and join in the converstation that could help your business and that of others. The Rockingham County Leads Group is a grass roots, member run, networking association offering the opportunity to meet with and get to know others in the Rockingham County area. While our main focus is business we do invite organizations such as non-profits and those interested in Rockingham County. At each meeting members/guests will have the opportunity to deliver a sixty second “Infomercial” about their business. Also one member will have the opportunity to make a ten minute presentation about their business. We encourage members to come early and stay late, bring their business cards, flyers, brochures and any other advertising materials. This is a small casual meeting, with business owners from Eden, Rockingham County as well as some from Greensboro and Burlington.

Local Prosecutor Sworn In For Air Force Reserves Rockingham County Assistant District Attorney Chris Freeman joined the Air Force Reserves by taking his military oath on May 3, 2013. He was sworn in by his JROTC instructor, Colonel Carie Hall, at Asheboro High School. Freeman, 35, will enter the Reserves as a First Lieutenant. “I have looked forward to this moment for a long time,” said Freeman. “I am extremely excited about the opportunity to serve my country.” Freeman is a graduate of High Point University and Regent University School of Law. He has been a prosecutor in Rockingham County for more than 6 years. “Chris is a patriot who cares about our country,” said Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger, Jr. “We are very supportive of Chris and his decision to serve the American people in this capacity.”

Report On The Rabies Vaccination Clinics A total of 696 dogs and cats were vaccinated at the Rockingham County Spring Rabies Vaccination Clinics held Saturday, May 4, 2013. This was a decrease of 14.4 percent compared to 2012, when 813 dogs and cats were vaccinated. While the Rockingham County Spring Vaccination Clinics show a decrease in numbers of pets vaccinated, there were at least 25 other rabies clinics held in the last year at sites across the county which have resulted in a large number of pets being vaccinated against rabies. Citizens should remain aware of the need to vaccinate their dogs and cats. Rockingham County had thirteen positive rabies cases involving a cow, 5 skunks, 5 raccoons, 1 fox and 1 dog in 2012. So far this year, there have been 4 positive cases: 3 skunks and 1 raccoon. Included is a copy of the official May 4, 2013 Rabies Vaccination Clinics report. Thank you to everyone who helped in this year’s clinics including veterinarians, police chiefs, animal control officers, news media, clinic contact persons, the Animal Protection Society of Rockingham County, the Rockingham County Animal Welfare Society, the Rockingham County Humane Society and the Rockingham County Animal Shelter. Our Department appreciates the help of all who were involved.

Amcor is a worldwide leader in tobacco packaging. Its local manufacturing operation is also located in the Reidsville Industrial Park and it currently employs 105 people. “Having two of our existing industries plan expansions is certainly great news for Rockingham County. Both Albaad and Amcor have been good corporate citizens here for the last seven to eight years and we are happy to support their growth,” said Graham Pervier, president of the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development. “Albaad and Amcor were our first two industries to locate in the Reidsville Industrial Park, so I am particularly pleased to see the continued reinvestment in their facilities. Their continued success in Reidsville is truly something to celebrate,” said Michael Pearce, city manager of Reidsville. “The incentive packages that were agreed on by the County Commissioners and City Council this week are working testimony of our local governments working together to help our industries grow.” “Albaad USA is honored to be a premier employer in Rockingham County and to provide employment and career opportunities to our local citizens. We appreciate the supportive partnerships within the community and the recognition for our continued investment into Reidsville and Rockingham County,” said Ron Gburek, chief executive officer of Albaad USA. “We are extremely pleased to be considered for this financial incentive

“April in Paris” came to Southern Virginia and the Chatmoss Country Club when Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation hosted its first Spring Gala on the evening of April 26. “Our primary reason for this evening is to raise funds for a very important project and that is to replace the current fluoroscopy system. Our current system is 18 years old and we need to replace this technology,” shared Mr. Carl Martin, President and CEO of the hospital. “April in Paris” was also an appreciation event to recognize the members of the First Christian Church (Disciple of Christ) of Eden who recently sold their church and gave $100,000 toward this project! Bringing the Gala to southern Virginia was part of a new initiative that Morehead Memorial Hospital and Foundation has started to make the people of the region more aware of the connections between the hospital and their communities. Approximately 1/3 of Morehead Memorial Hospital’s staff is Virginia residents and they bring millions of dollars into the local economy every year. The hospital’s birthing center last year delivered 134 babies who call the Danville/Martinsville area home. In that same period Morehead Memorial Hospital provided over $750,000 in charity care to Virginia residents. As Mr. Martin put it so well, “we need to share our story of how Morehead Memorial Hospital, through the decades, has provided life-saving and life-changing medical care to theese communities and to seek their philanthropic support.” The 75 guests who attended enjoyed the wonderful ambiance of Chatmoss, the French cuisine and great entertainment provided by the local musical group Real

Health Tips For Arthritis Aches & Pains!

About 27 million Americans have osteoarthritis (OA), which is the most common type of arthritis in older people. Hands and weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and lower back often take the biggest hit. OA develops when the cushioning tissue in joints (cartilage) breaks down. Then bone may rub on bone, causing inflammation, stiffness, and pain. When arthritis is advanced, you may hear grinding noises or your joint may become enlarged. What's the cause of osteoarthritis? It could be a combination of things. Joints can simply lose their cushioning with repeated wear and tear over time. And an injury can hasten this process. Extra pounds can also harm your joints. Sometimes OA runs in families, too. You can learn better ways to move to protect your joints. Your doctor may even recommend physical or occupational therapy. If you need a cane, make sure a professional fits it for you. You can also buy a brace or knee sleeve or special devices to help open jars or do other challenging tasks. Don't overlook our store's resourcesWhen pain flares up, it may be tempting to curl up in a ball and try to ignore it. That may be exactly the wrong thing to do. Although rest is important, moving may also help ease your pain. Some types of exercise can relieve stiffness and improve flexibility, while others promote strength or endurance. It may also help to switch to less weight-bearing activities, for example, swimming or cycling instead of running. If you've put on some extra weight, do your best to lose it. Did you know that with every pound you gain, your knees must handle four more pounds and your hips six more pounds of pressure? And, obesity may add insult to injury. That's because body fat may release chemicals that also cause joint damage. What else can you do? Heat or cold may help ease the pain of arthritis. And pain medications may be essential as well. Stop by, and I can help you sort out the differences between the types of medications used for arthritis. Some require prescriptions; others do not, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, fish oil and arthritis creams. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can also be effective in treating symptoms. That's because, with arthritis, fluid builds up when the body tries to compensate for lost cartilage. The resulting inflammation can cause pain and warmth around the joint. In more severe cases, you may need other types of treatment such as injections, splinting, or surgery such as a joint replacement. As for alternative remedies, recent studies show that acupuncture may bring relief for some people. The oral supplements glucosamine and chondroitin may help with moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain. But studies in the knee show these don't appear to improve cartilage changes. Whatever you do, steer clear of unproven supplements. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the public about certain products marketed as "natural" dietary supplements for conditions such as arthritis. If you're not sure about a certain product, please ask me. 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.

McMichael Cancer Center will operate as usual under its current name, without any immediate changes in service or staffing. “Cone Health has provided medical oncologists to the center for more than a decade. This new agreement provides our patients with greater access to Cone Health Cancer Center resources, skills, experience and support,” says Morehead Hospital President and CEO Carl Martin. “This step is an expansion of the oncology services Cone Health Cancer Center has provided our community for several years.” Cone Health will have responsibility for medical oncology, oncology pharmacy, and oncology supplies and materials. Mario Singleton, who leads oncology services at Annie Penn Hospital in Reidsville, will take on an expanded role and will also be responsible for oncology operations at Smith McMichael Cancer Center. Stephanie Vannoy will handle day-to-day operations as senior site manager. The management services agreement will not impact the Cone Health Cancer Center at Annie Penn Hospital. “These are challenging times in healthcare,” notes Cone Health Vice President of Oncology Services Skip Hislop. “We firmly believe that this agreement will not only ensure that cancer services remain here, but will strengthen the program and enhance the quality of care for many years to come.”

On Friday, May 10, at 2 p.m. in the Robert C. Keys Gymnasium, Rockingham Community College held a graduation ceremony for those who earned a GED during the 201213 school year. Graduation speakers included the two individuals chosen to receive scholarships to continue their education at RCC: Erin Hicks of Madison and Tonda Bailey of Stokes County. By earning a GED, Bailey and Hicks, 25 and 24 respectively, have been inspired. Bailey is looking at a possible career in respiratory therapy, Hicks in physical therapy. Although they were strangers and their lives took different paths, their journeys merged at RCC after hearing similar sentiments from the people who cared about them. One’s grandmother said, “It’s your fault you don’t have the life you want. You made your choices. Now you can fix it or not.” The other’s mother said, “I

gave you the tools you needed for a better life but you didn’t take advantage of it. You chose not to further your education.” With deadend jobs their only employment options, the reality of those words sank in. Both came to the same conclusion. They wanted more. The GEDs they earned and scholarships they have been awarded will start them on that path. The GED graduates for 2012-13 are listed below alphabetically. Adrian G. Agundiz, Tonda N.

Outreach Ministry seeks people to serve in Western North Carolina Carolina Cross Connection (CCC) announces that it will be expanding their summer home repair ministry to residents of Rockingham and Guilford. Residents in these counties have the opportunity to receive minor home repairs free of charge from the ministry, which is based in Concord, N.C. and serves 22 Western NC counties each summer. College students of CCC will be offering their services to the elderly, poverty-stricken, disabled, and other folks in need of May 19-25, 2013. Carolina Cross Connection is a nonprofit Christian mission organization which was started in 1988. This summer, CCC will bring in more than 1,400 volunteers, with the goal of working for more than 800 families in all the counties they serve. CCC offers services such as light construction, interior and exterior painting, yard work, and general house cleaning. The work is offered free of charge. Homeowners are encouraged to provide any needed building materials or to help with those expenses, though it is not required. "The staff and participants of CCC look forward to spending the summer in western North Carolina, but they need some folks to put them to work," said CCC administrator Krista Petty. "Our volunteers strive to do more than just work," said Petty, "but to impact people's lives and this community for the better." Volunteers serving Guilford and Rockingham residents will be housed at Camp Guilford in Reidsville, one of six locations from which CCC will operate this summer. At each location, church and college groups from across North Carolina in the southeastern U.S. form work teams that go out to serve in the surrounding communities. Those interested in the services CCC has to offer, or who would like to donate lumber or paint for the projects occurring this summer, may contact the CCC office at 704 – 721 – 0033. For more information, email ccc@carolinacrossconnection.org or visit www.varolinacrossconnection.org.

Country Club when Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation hosted its first Spring Gala in late April. “Our primary reason for this evening is to raise funds for a very important project and that is to replace the current fluoroscopy system. Our current system is 18 years old and we need to replace this technology,” shared Mr. Carl Martin, President and CEO of the hospital. “April in Paris” was also an appreciation event to recognize the members of the First Christian Church (Disciple of Christ) of Eden who recently sold their church and gave $100,000 toward this project! Bringing the Gala to southern Virginia was part of a new initiative that Morehead Memorial Hospital and Foundation has started to make the people of the region more aware of the connections between the hospital and their communities. Approximately 1/3 of Morehead Memorial Hospital’s staff is Virginia residents and they bring millions of dollars into the local economy every year. The hospital’s birthing center last year delivered 134 babies who call the Danville/Martinsville area home. In that same period Morehead Memorial Hospital provided over $750,000 in charity care to Virginia residents. As Mr. Martin put it so well, “we need to share our story of how Morehead Memorial Hospital, through the decades, has provided life-saving and lifechanging medical care to theese communities and to seek their philanthropic support.” The 75 guests who attended enjoyed the wonderful ambiance of Chatmoss, the French cuisine and great entertainment provided by the local musical group Real Jazz. They also generously donated $8,000 to a very worthy cause. Merci!

Leaksville-Spray Elementary Hosts “Faces of Africa”

Leaksville-Spray Elem. recently hosted “The Healing Force” from Winston-Salem in a 3-day artist-in-residence pro-

gram. The residency, entitled “Faces of Africa,” was made possible by a GrassRoots subgrant from the Rockingham Arts

Council. All students in grades 3-5 experienced hands-on drumming in a drum circle, led by two of the artists. Every student at the school also explored a large African exhibit, using a scavenger hunt to learn about many nations on the continent of Africa. Students’ favorite exhibit station was the one in which they could actually play several musical instruments from West African nations. The residency concluded with a performance by the artists in residence. During the grand finale, many of the students played African instruments and all sang an African song. Grant writer, Kay Spencer, is the Music Specialist at Leaksville-Spray Elementary. She believes this program stretched the students’ awareness of other cultures, as well as challenging them to think creatively about ways to make their own music and games. Students were highly engaged in the activities, and have retained much of what they learned in the weeks since the residency.

A Day at the Race Track New Film Follows The Arc Audi Racing Program in Action The roar of the engines. The expert pit crews working on the cars. The speed the cars travel. Does this sound like a place for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD)?. To Don and Laurie Istook of Istook’s Motorsports and The Arc, it does and is. And award-winning film producer and director Heidi Reinberg has captured a day at the race track with people with I/DD, including a pit crew member, who is raising awareness about what people with I/DD can do when given the chance. Mark Heitt, who is Laurie’s brother and has an intellectual disability, is an important member of Don’s racing crew, performing tasks like caring for the car’s exterior and changing tires, alongside his coworkers. Laurie says of her brother, Mark: “It just gives him a meaning and a purpose for his life. It gives him something to look forward to, and that’s what we all want.” Last year, The Arc launched The Arc Audi Racing Program, a partnership between The Arc and RS Werkes (formerly Istook's Motorsports). The goal was to provide a unique opportunity for people with I/DD to get a taste of what it is like to be part of a fastpaced professional race crew at select races in the 2012 Pirelli World Challenge race series. We are gearing up for the 2013 racing season, and The Arc

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued from Page 18 Audi Racing Program expects to compete in nine races in Florida, California, Texas, Michigan, Connecticut, and Ohio, and Don has two Audis to race. A partnership with RS Werkes and the Pirelli World Challenge series, and funded in part by Volkswagen Group of America, The Arc Audi Racing Program invited groups of 20 people, including individuals with I/DD, their support staff and staff from select chapters of The Arc to be honorary crew members at seven races, giving them a unique race day experience and helping to raise awareness of The Arc and I/DD among racing fans everywhere. The program captured the attention of Heidi Reinberg, an award-winning film producer and director (Heidi Reinberg Big Idea, LLC), who immediately saw the potential to capture this exciting experience on film to show the world that people with disabilities can be a part of the racing experience. Reinberg traveled to Sonoma to follow The Arc of San Francisco at the race at the Sonoma Speedway. Professional race team owner Don Istook and his wife Laurie have a personal connection to the I/DD community. Two of Laurie’s brothers, Mark and Tyson, have Fragile X, but this does not stop them from being an active part of Don’s professional race pit crew. Inspired by their success, Don and Laurie contacted the national office of The Arc to propose a program to give select chapters of The Arc across the country the opportunity to be a part of the racing world. Participants were able to see The Arc Audi Race Team cars, talk to the crew and play a hands-on role in preparing the cars for the race. “Being a special educator, I want people to see our crew members with intellectual disabilities out here and realize they have so much potential given the opportunity,” said Laurie Istook in the film. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter as The Arc expands this program! The Arc advocates for and serves people with I/DD, including Down syndrome, autism, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, cerebral palsy and other diagnoses. The Arc has a network of over 700 chapters across the country promoting and protecting the human rights of people with I/DD and actively supporting their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes and without regard to diagnosis.

Unconditional Love Do you know the old song named "They will Know we are Christians by Our Love"? Do you ever wonder what people assume about you? What assumptions have you made about somebody and then found out you were wrong? Did you do anything about it? About a year before I left the Cleaners I had a customer who must have told me 10 times in our conversation that she was a good Christian woman. I finally started wondering who she was trying to convince me or her. I mean really if you have to tell me how good a Christian you are should I believe you? How you treat people goes a long way in the assumptions they make about who you. In massage school we are learning how to effect change in the body by touch. I can tell

White where muscles start and end, I have had someone fall asleep on the table already and I even know where your thoracolumbar aponeurosis is. There is one thing that we have learned that everyone can benefit from, it is called Unconditional Positive Regard, we call it UPR. It is really very simple. Unconditional Positive Regard is treating everyone with kindness, respect and being nonjudgmental. Sounds real easy doesn't. Why don't we do this? I mean really just think about it you can effect somebody's whole day without ever touching them. You don't even have to get that close. Smile at someone across

the room, wave at somebody going the opposite direction like you know them( this drives my kids nuts when I do it) and guess what it even makes you feel better. I am no better at this than anybody else but I am trying to get better at it. All you have to do is come to grips with the idea that somebody else can be right for them and it doesn't affect how you live your life. We all get so caught in making sure how our life looks from the outside that we forget that what makes this big old world so special is that we are all different. Let's celebrate that for once. The saying goes we all march to a different drum, well some days my theme song is a hymn and some days let's just say it is not. Life is like your Pandora account it is full of choices, you pick your soundtrack to fit your mood. So go ahead pick a really cool song and march on. Quit worry about what other people think, they are just trying to make themselves feel better.

He also served the community as President of the Eden Rotary Club, 2013 Chairman of the March of Dimes Annual Drive and on the Board of the Rockingham United Way. According to Martin, “I started work in a hospital as a receiving clerk years ago and moved my way up from there to where I am now. And I must say, Morehead is a very special hospital. We have a strong board of trustees, excellent team, the strongest since I came here; And an outstanding medical staff. The vision is set, we need to continue in that direction.” Under Martin’s leadership these past four and a half years, Morehead Memorial Hospital has expanded it’s physician group which now consists of 14 practices employing 34 doctors, and 6 physicians assistants/ nurse practitioners. Mr. Martin also established new affiliation relationships with Wake Forest Baptist for Critical Care Services and expanded it affiliation with Cone Health in the operation of the Smith-Mc Michael Cancer Center. In addition, he stabilized the hospital’s financial position including the restructuring of its hospital’s debt resulting in a reduction of $5,000,000 in the interest payments.

“Carl has provided outstanding leadership to the hosMartin pital which has benefited the community in so many ways. We are sad to see him go but wish him well in his new endeavor,” stated Scott Barham, the Chairman of the hospital’s Board of Trustees. Mr. Martin has accepted the position of Chief Operating Officer of Providence Hospitals, a multi-hospital system in Columbia, SC, which employs over 80 physicians and is rated as a Top 50 hospital for cardiovascular services by Consumer Reports Martin is excited about his new roll, this being the first opportunity he has had to work in rural health care. He was attracted by the huge challenges ahead. Board Vice Chairman James (Jim) Burnett said that even though most hospitals are facing challenges in these trying times that MMH has a strong board and excellent community leaders and stressed the value of the hospital to this community. The Board of Trustees noted that despite the challenging economic conditions that have confronted hospitals across our state and the country, MMH remains fiscally strong and has achieved several financial and operational efficiencies such as: – Reduced capital debt by approximately $6 million and restructured bonds to provide a $5,000,000 in savings on interest payments over the life of the bonds

_ Grown the staff to 1,000 employees, positioning MMH from the 4th to the 2nd as the largest employer in Rockingham County – Achieved margin improvement in excess of $2 million through the new Margin Recovery Plan, which includes collection of upfront payments for elective procedures at the hospital – Achieved savings of over $970,000 (annually) by expanding the recent partnership with ConeHealth to manage the Smith-McMichael Cancer Center – Continue to be ranked by Truven Analytics as one of the most cost-effective providers of hospital services as benchmarked against the Top 10% hospitals of similar size. While all hospitals are going through lean times, Morehead recently had a 2% increase to employees pay. Board Member Pete Crouch said that having been involved in the hospital for many years, and having worked in the Hospital Pharmacy himself, that he has seen first hand the commitment of the staff and their excellence in taking care of patients, adding, “The community built this hospital and the community wants this hospital to succeed as a community hospital.” As a member of the finance committee Crouch said, “Healthcare is evolving, and we must evolve with it.” Board member and Chief of Staff Dr. James Parsons, came on staff in 1978, has been involved with the hospital and worked closely with the staff for years says of Martin, “Carl helped this hospital become stronger during his time here,” and added, “We must now focus on what to do next to assure continued leadership.” The fact that Martin has been offered such a quality position at Providence Hospital proves his value to the community. The board immediately went to work to assure a seamless transition. Quorum Health Resources (QHR), which provides management services to MMH, will place an interim CEO at the Hospital before Mr. Martin’s departure on June 30. QHR will now conduct a national search for a permanent CEO, closely involving the hospital board to find the best candidate for

Morehead Memorial and the community. There is no current time frame for the search to be completed. Barham explained, “QHR’s management services provide interim resources to minimize disruption within the hospital while allowing the board time to choose a CEO that can meet our needs, and fill the significant role Mr. Martin has played in the hospital and in the community.” The search begins now for a person who can exhibit the confidence to interact between Baptist and Cone, and who is able to delegate to the management team and relate to the community as well as with the physicians, administration team, service personal. Crouch wants someone who strives to… “Create within these walls ‘all employees rowing in one direction’ which takes good leadership and good com-

munication. The culture of everybody wanting to do the same thing.” MMH is a vital community asset, an important economic generator and a good corporate neighbor, producing an annual local payroll of $50 million and spending more that $2.3 million dollars with local vendors, suppliers, utilities and landlords. In addition MMH is a major corporate contributor to the United Way with our employee campaign receiving the Super Platinum Award for the highest growth in contributions to $58,000. They also have provided more than $13,000 in sponsorships to various other charitable and economic development causes in the community.

There were 12 youth participating in the contest! 4Hers prepared a food dish in one of the 5 categories such as salad, snack, dessert, main dish or beverage. Some examples of food displayed were peach bread, Eskimo blueberry muffins and walking salad. The 4-Hers not only had to prepare their dishes; they had to share their knowledge to the judges.

of the food. Youth had to tell the judges about the nutrition of their dish and what nutrients were in their dish. The 4-Hers then shared their food with one another before the awards were presented. 4-H participants received certificates and cooking items to improve their cooking experiences. 4-H wants to thank the Nutrition Fair judges as well.

Clark named Teacher of the Year Rockingham County Schools is pleased to announce Jessica Clark, 3rd grade Language Arts/Science teacher at Moss Street Elementary School, has been selected as the Rockingham County Schools’ 2013-14 Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Clark has taught at Moss Street Elementary for seven years. Mrs. Clark is a graduate of Reidsville High School and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Elementary Education from Salem College. In Clark’s teacher of the year portfolio she states, “Teaching is the gift that keeps on giving. I feel successful, of course, when my students master curriculum material and make good grades, but I believe my impact is more noticeable when I see students grow and change. The fact is, my students will probably forget some of the strategies I’ve taught them in reading and they may confuse the different types of soil or the definitions of embryo and seedling. I can only hope that

when I see them at their high school graduation or at the doctor’s office with their own children one day that they can look back and see that I made a difference.” Mrs. Clark and her husband, James, live in Reidsville and have two children, Bryson, 3, and Rachel, 1. Teachers of the Year are chosen by their peers and colleagues because of their high level of commitment to the teaching profession and their outstanding accomplishments in the classroom. Mrs.Clark will now represent our school district as the Rockingham County Schools Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Clark is eligible to compete in the PiedmontTriad/Central Region North Carolina Teacher of the Year competition, which will begin this September. For more information about the North Carolina Teacher of the Year program, please visit www.ncpublicschools.org/recruitment/recognition/toy/.

JUNE 2013 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 25 ¶

Dancing with Horses continued from page 1 teach the younger children of the family. Natalie soon received word that an Oldenburg horse, VT Idol Gambit, was available. Gambit is, by industry standards, a magnificent dark bay, schoolmaster, that stands 17.2 hands tall. At first glance this horse would make you feel as if you were in the presence of royalty. But not long after taking possession of Gambit, a leg condition forced the horse to stop competing for several months. After recovery, the pair made their debut at their first USDF horse show in Pinehurst, NC, in the fall of 2011, which proved to be a good move as the pair received a qualifying score in Dressage Seat Equitation. And in March of 2012, they added a high enough score at Training Level to qualify for the USDF/GAIG Regional Competition held in Williamston, North Carolina. While Natalie was excited about the opportunity, there was yet another road block. Despite the achievements of the two, the pressures of trailering long distances were starting to take a toll on Gambit. The difficult decision was then made to retire the horse to teaching an adult amateur at the barn. Once again Natalie found herself without a mount. Natalie received another call, this time of a young Belgian Thoroughbred cross. Although a far cry from the dark bay with a regal presence, this mare was pretty in her own right. This medicine hat pinto, now known as "My Fair Lady" (Eliza), came with a few odd quirks and at first it seemed it may be easier for Natalie to teach a bull ballet in a china shop than to train her in dressage. "The horse kicked cones, fences, ground poles, and charged around like a freight train" Natalie recalls. Training was proving to be a challenge but this diamond in the rough soon revealed her qualities. Cindy Norton, has been training riders for some 30 years, and has been with Natalie for the past three years. Working on intense Equitation and Dressage training is a challenge in itself, but Norton said she does so because she loves it and Norton notes, "Natalie is an awesome student, she works very hard at what she does, and Eliza is coming along very well". She said that every horse is different, they all have their own forte, and you just have to work hard to figure out how to bring out the best in them. "Natalie is terrific, loves the sport, and wants to excel in it. From the day she first came here she just wanted to make her horses dance. Dressage is an Olympic sport and so it fits right in with Natalie's competitive spirit," Norton adds. Dressage is often perceived as an elitist sport, but that's not really the case. Local teens, working hard and with modest means, have managed to make a name for themselves and their horses in this sport right here in Rockingham County, blending

This past April Eliza, well, it seems we have just the pair qualified for two different regional competitions, won one of the first level classes, as well as the Junior Equitation Division, proving that once again "My Fair Lady" could be refined just as her namesake. Trainer Eliza with Natalie Horton and trainer Cindy Norton Norton made it clear that, "It's easier to ride a trained horse than one that is just starting out, yet Natalie's ride, Eliza, is young and still the two bring in the awards." In most dressage classes the horse's performance is judged more than the rider. In equitation classes the rider is judged more. The horse's performance is considered to be the direct result of Eden the effectiveness and position of 122 East Meadow Rd. the rider.

For The Fun Of It Insomniac An elderly gentleman was hopeless insomniac, and his wife and grown children at length resorted to taking him to a hypnotist. The hypnotist had a remarkable record for being able to cure such ailments—but his services were not cheap. “We’ll pay whatever it costs,” the mother declared. “Not only is he unable to rest himself, but he’s depriving me of my rest, too.” The hypnotist proceeded as expected. He had the patient recline comfortably and then sat before him, slowly waving a gold pocket watch from a chain. He waited a few minutes before speaking at all, simply moving the watch in slow, precise arcs. “You are becoming very, very drowsy,” he began. “Your body is tired.…Your mind is tired.…Your muscles are weary….You need rest….Complete rest…” This stage—convincing the patient of his need for rest—lasted awhile before the hyponotist got to the root of the instructions. “And now you must rest. You must sleep. Your family will take you home and put you into your warm, comfortable bed. You will sleep without waking for exactly eight hours. This you must do every night for a month, at the end of which time you will come back to see me and we will talk again about rest…rest…beautiful, peaceful rest.” Softer and softer the hypnotist’s voice became. Finally, each member of the family sitting around the room was almost asleep. The victim himself had closed his eyes and was beginning to snore. “You may take him home now,” the hypnotist quietly advised, rousing the family. Ecstatic, they wrote a check for even more than the predetermined amount, and the hypnotist left the room. The sons gently began to lift their father from the chair. Then he opened his eyes, glanced furtively around the room, and asked, “Is that imbecile finally gone?”

Mental Hospital In a crowded cafeteria, a couple of businessmen saw two elderly women with their trays, wandering around and searching futilely for a vacant table. “Come sit here,” one of them told the nearest woman. “We’re just finishing. You can have this table.” “Why, that’s so very kind of you,” the woman said, smiling. “I believe you’re about the nicest young man I’ve ever met.” The other woman, making her way to join the first, pulled the young businessman aside. “Don’t believe a word she tells you. I’m her guardian. I’m returning her to the mental institution this afternoon.”

Mechanic

Job

A mechanic was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift when he spotted a famous heart surgeon standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager. The mechanic being somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage, "Hey doctor, is that you? Come over here a minute." The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on a car. In a loud voice, he said argumentatively, "So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work. I also take the valves out, grind them, put in new parts, and when I finish this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work?" The doctor, very embarrassed, said softly to the mechanic as he walked away: "Try doing your work with the engine running."

A rural mail carrier at the end of World War II took the news of the armistice to an isolated mountain family. He thought the good tidings would bring smiles, but the woman on the porch shook her head sadly. “I s’pose it figures,” she grumbled. “What do you mean?” asked the carrier. “We sent our Jeb off to join the army two months ago.” “Looks like he missed all the fightin’.” “That’s what I mean. That boy never could hold a job.”

Pretzels A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. Every day, a young man would leave his office building at lunch time and, as he passed her pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but would never take a pretzel. This went on for more than five years. The two of them never spoke. Then one day, the man passed the pretzel stand and left his quarter as usual. A few seconds later, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned. It was the pretzel woman, who spoke to him for the first time. “Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has increased to 35 cents.”

Job Interview In the later 1940s, a veteran of World War II applied for a bank job. During the interview, the unsmiling, no-nonsense bank official fired question after question, taking notes and never glancing up at the veteran. “Most recent job position?” was the question. “Supply officer,” the applicant replied. “Duration of employment?” “Three and a half years.” “Reason for termination?” The applicant thought about it a moment and then answered, “We won the war.”

Where's My Sibling? For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day his mothe allowed him to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and cried, "I think Mommy ate it!"

Temp A legal secretary returned to work after a two-week vacation and sarcastically asked a colleague, “So how’d that hotshot temp work out while I was gone?” “Pretty bad. He couldn’t type more than thirty-five words a minute. Kept pestering us with the simplest questions about using the word processor. Didn’t know how to alternate the paper bins in the printer. Made the coffee too strong. Embarrassed the managing partner in front of some of our clients. Oh—and he was one of the worst gossips we’ve ever had.” “Just as I figured,” sneered the veteran triumphantly. “Yes, it was pretty much as though you hadn’t left.”

Faces Cliff: “Why do you watch all those soap operas on TV?” Bev: “Because I can’t see the actors’ faces on the radio.”

One day, a little girl is sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She notices that her mother has a few white hairs. "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" she asks. Her mother replies, "Every time you do something wrong, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thinks about this for a moment, then asks, "So how come ALL of Grandma's hairs are white?"

Buy Why is it you can buy cigarettes at a gas station—where smoking is strictly forbidden?

Twice The secretary entered a crowded elevator at the end of the day, headed for home. Without thinking, she pressed the ground floor button twice in rapid succession. Another secretary noticed and commented knowingly, “You must keep your hand on a computer mouse all day, too.”

Pest Control The pest control man arrived at a home and heard a horrendous barrage of attempted piano music coming through the front screen door. He knocked and waited. The noise didn’t abate. He peered inside and could see a teenage lad savagely pounding through a lesson at the keyboard. The pest control man knocked louder and finally got the woeful student’s attention. “Are your folks at home, Son?” he asked. The boy menacingly banged out a couple of concluding, bizarre nonchords and glared at the visitor. “Take a wild guess.”

On May 3, 2013, Ms. Tonya Jones, Holmes Middle School assistant principal, treated the 7th grade student body and staff to a special assembly that motivated, inspired change, encouraged dreams and focused on making a difference to others. The assembly guest was Dr. Mary Helen Hensley, a mother, book author, Chiropractor and motivational speaker (and a former classmate of Ms. Jones) who resides in Athlone, Ireland. Dr. Hensley was in the United States for her book launch in her Hometown of Martinsville, VA. Students and staff were intrigued with the stories shared by Dr. Hensley as well as her literary work. Mary Helen grew up in Martinsville and attended the city schools until 1985. Her father, Dick Hensley, took over as Headmaster of Carlisle in 1984 and she completed her final two years of high school there, graduating in 1987. She attended Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina and following an internship with ABC in Florence/Myrtle Beach her senior year, Mary Helen graduated with a major in Communications and a minor in Graphic Design. Following graduation, Mary Helen moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where she worked in design for a sign company and sales for the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. In December of 1991, Mary Helen was involved in a 75mph car collision that was to change her life forever. She attended a chiropractor to begin her own journey back to health following a series of debilitating injuries

caused by the accident. She became so intrigued by the education she received while under her chiropractor’s care, she returned to school and graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 1998. After teaching National Board Exam reviews for students all around America, while practicing part-time in Philadelphia, PA, Mary Helen followed a calling to practice in Ireland and moved in 1999. She practiced in Athlone, Ireland until April 2012. She had been facilitating healing sessions and conducting seminars and workshops around Ireland, the U.K., continental Europe and America in her spare time, and decided to move into public speaking and writing full-time. Mary Helen is the mother of two lively daughters, Jemma Skye, 10, and Jada Pacifica, 8. In 2009, she wrote her first book, “Promised”, to be left as a guidebook of her unique life experiences for her children. In 2010, “Circles of Light” followed, and the trilogy was complete with the 2012 release of “The Land Beyond the River”. “The Pocket Coach; Motivation for Life” was just launched in Martinsville this month and is her fourth publication. This book is a collection of motivational quotes given to Mary Helen by her father in 1984, just before she started at Carlisle. She has just completed a children’s book entitled “The Chakra Fairies” and is currently under way with a novel entitled, “Apotheosis”, for release in 2014.

Due to experiencing an increasing number of incidents and distractions regarding electronic devices in and near the courtrooms, here and nationwide, there has been an order to eliminate the public from possessing them from the courtroom areas. Although the Bailiffs have been diligent in attempting to avoid and resolve many of the problems, they do still persist. Due to these problems, a new Administrative order 13 R 169 was passed in order to assure safety in our courtrooms, banning electronic devices from these areas. This order becomes effective June 1st, 2013 and proper signage will be placed in clear view as soon as possible. The policy is established regarding cell phones, laptops, tablets, or other electronic devices being brought in. Members of the bar and attorney’s associated with local council, their employees, staff of agencies and offices housed in the courthouse, law enforcement officers and others who possess current identification card by the Sheriff of Rockingham County or the state can bring in electronic devices capable of recording, broadcasting, or transmitting any video or audio. Even though allowed by these persons, the device shall not disturb the court with sounds in or near the courtrooms. All other persons shall be requested to return any such electronic devices to their vehicles or otherwise refrain from entering the Rockingham County Courthouse. If the device contains evidence to be presented it must be turned over to the Bailiff immediately and shall be returned to the lawful owner when it is no longer being held as evidence. If you are found in possession of an electronic device without permission the device will be seized and held until ordered released by the Court. Any person who records, photographs, or attempts to record or photograph any party to a proceeding, juror, or witness to a proceeding, or court official may be subject to all of the contempt powers of the Court.

Eagles end regular season with historical first

2 Rivers Soccer Camp

On Saturday, May 4, the Rockingham Community College Eagles played their last home game of the regular season on Gilliland Field. Despite the day’s loss to Catawba Valley Community College, the Eagles ended the season as the seventh seed in the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association), Region 10, Division II Carolinas/Virginia Conference. The seeding earned them a slot in regional playoffs for the first time under the new qualifying format implemented in 2009. In the first round, RCC will be pitted against second seed Brunswick Community College. The game begins at 1 p.m., Friday, May 10 in the Morehead City Marlins Big Rock Stadium, 2714 Mayberry Loop Rd., Morehead City, NC, 28557. Six sophomore players were honored before Saturday’s play began: • Josh Barringer (Fluvanna County High School, Va.), is a two-year member of the team who started at first and third bases and as catcher and relief pitcher. Named to the academic Dean’s List at RCC, Barringer plans to continue his education at James Madison University; • Marshall Creed (Surry County High School), a two-year member of the team who played right field, served as team captain, and will be attending UNC-Charlotte in the fall; • Kaleb Houchins (Morehead High School), played two years for RCC. During his sophomore year, Houchings pitched 67 1/3 innings. He has committed to play baseball at Pheiffer University in the fall; • Houston Ison (High Point Central High School), a two-year starter in the outfield, has a batting average of .302. With 25 stolen bases during his sophomore year, he holds the single season and career RCC record for stolen bases. He was named to the NJCAA 2nd Team All-Region

outfield. Ison has committed to play baseball next year at Erskine College; • Tommy King (transfer from Newberry College in New York), served for one year as the starting catcher and team captain. • Zack Wright (, A.L. Brown High School), served as team captain. Wright started as third baseman and as a relief pitcher his freshman year, but moved to full-time pitcher his sophomore year. Former Eagles left-handed pitcher, Zack Royals of WinstonSalem was also honored. He became the first Eagles baseball player to have his number retired. Rockingham Community College’s Interim Athletic Director, Chris Johnson, said, “Over the two years Zach was in our program, he embodied the ideal of what it means to be a student athlete.” Off the field, Royals was named to the Dean’s List and President’s list for his high academic achievements, named to Who’s Who Among Students In American Universities and Colleges, and nominated for the North Carolina Community College System Recognition for Academic Excellence. He also received the NCJAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement for 2011-12. He graduated from RCC in 2012 with a cumulative 3.68 grade point average. On the field, Royals racked up equally impressive statistics: 75.1 pitched innings overall and an outstanding Sophomore year with 31 innings pitched, 18 strikeouts, two wins, one loss and a 3.48 earned run average. In 2012 he transferred to Greensboro College where he continues to pitch. Royals attended Saturday’s ceremony with his parents, Terri and John Royals.

Shaggin’ on FieldcrestNew Date! This event has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 27th in the Draper Village downtown area. It was postponed due to last weekend’s rain.

Most of us have heard the famous quote from Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” My area of expertise has quite the opposite reaction. That which we call sewage by any other name would still smell rotten. It doesn’t matter how you present my line of work or the material I work in, to the general public it just plain stinks! (Whether it really does or not.) We can beautify our plant and even change our name to a more acceptable title like Water Reclamation or Water Resource Recovery, but it still doesn’t change what comes through our plant on a daily basis. It also doesn’t seem to matter that we take this smelly, unpleasant, and especially unwanted product of everyday life and turn it into something that can be reintroduced into the environment without causing harm. We take everyone’s household and commercial wastewater in this community and collect it all in one spot for special treatment. Now let’s take a moment to be real … you should all know by now that the odors that are released in your respective bathrooms are not always pleasant ones. Now imagine dealing with all of the wastewater from all of the bathrooms every day in one concentrated area of town. With that in mind, I think we do a pretty good job of keeping the potential odors at bay. If anyone were to come by my plant on Mebane Bridge Road, they may notice a slight unpleasant odor at any time near the head of the plant where the wastewater first enters, but for the rest of the plant, the odor is almost unnoticeable. Wastewater employees work hard to keep the wastewater “freshened up” as it comes on site so that odors are not released, but we can’t stop all odors entirely. With so many industries leaving town, we have a lot of pipes that just don’t move wastewater as fast as they used to which leads to more odor problems as the waste takes its time reaching our part of town. We are trying to find products that will keep it fresher longer and prevent it from producing hydrogen sulfide, which has the rotten egg smell, but many of these are expensive and still don’t do a great job. We

are experimenting to find the best product for the money to help us out until the flow through the pipes increases. If this could be improved, my plant wouldn’t have as many odors at the head of the process. Until then, we are experimenting at the plant as well. We have been planting trees at strategic spots on the plant site to slow down the wind as it blows past our trouble spots. This seems like a joke to some because they are so small right now, but in a couple of years they should be large enough to help reduce the wind or at least divert it. They should also filter the air and help mask odors with a slight scent. Until they grow, though, we have been trying different chemical agents to try to neutralize the odor where we notice it. Along with the prohibitive cost for some of the products out there, we have a problem pinpointing the exact areas of concern. The odors are not always present and when they are, the weather can make the effect worse. Early in the morning and sometimes even late in the evening as the temperature changes, the air can be held down closer to ground level. These are the times that we have heard of the worst odor complaints in the area. When it rains, there is the same effect all day while the cloud coverage is heavy. If an odor is present, it is held in place and slowly carried very low through the air in the direction of Highway 14. And this brings me to our other problem. The wind almost always seems to blow in the direction of Highway 14. If it blew south of our plant, it would filter through a thicket of trees and over the river before it would ever reach the highway and potentially sensitive noses. We obviously cannot change the wind direction, so we continue to look at better ways of dealing with this issue. In the meantime, I ask for your patience. If this odor was always present, the people in this area would be used to it. Since it is intermittent, it is tougher to deal with and can be perceived as offensive every time. Some of the odors associated with a wastewater plant will always be present but are more of an earthy smell. We will try to do what we can to at least reduce any “rotten” odors from being released. We want to be good neighbors and even invite anyone who still doesn’t understand our process to come out for a quick tour. Once you understand it more, you may appreciate the challenges that lie ahead. If you would like more information or a tour, contact me at 627-1009, ext. 130.

From The Desks Of CITY HALL Appreciating Eden’s Public Works By Melinda Ward, Wastewater Superintendent

On May 21, the City Council made a proclamation recognizing Public Works’ Week. This is a fairly new recognition that is now occurring annually. It acknowledges the hard work that our Public Works’ crews do on a daily basis. Public Works includes any crew that provides a service directly to the public or assists these crews in providing that service. For Eden, this includes the Street Department, Solid Waste collectors, Fleet Maintenance, Collection and Distribution crews for our water and sewer lines, Water Treatment operators, Wastewater Treatment operators, and Water Resource Maintenance workers who help keep all of our water and wastewater systems running smoothly. Many times you will see some of these employees on the street when there is a problem, but for the most part their work goes unnoticed. In a recent waste publication, there was an article that I read on safety. One of the biggest safety hazards is the public. For some reason, workers appear to be invisible to the public as they go about their jobs on the city’s streets. This is one of the main reasons for many of the reported accidents including many deaths in this country involving the public around municipal workers. No matter how many lights and signs that we use, we still hear reports that people didn't notice the workers or their trucks. These accidents happen when people just don’t

pay enough attention to their surroundings. Employees of Public Works are usually thought of just when a problem occurs or when they inconvenience someone’s day by stopping traffic. We get numerous complaints about something we should have fixed, even though we didn't know about the problem beforehand, a service being missed, even though it may have been a holiday or bad weather for a week, or neighbors causing problems that we should fix, even though we have no ability to change some problems. NO, we are not perfect, and YES, we make mistakes. The point of this article is that for every incident perceived as a problem, there are numerous things that our employees are doing to make life easier for Eden residents. This article is also not just an effort to toot our own horn. I am a supervisor, but I would not be able to do my job without the tireless efforts of many Public Works’ employees throughout the city. In general, the employees work very hard to provide quality service. They are dedicated to doing the best job that they can day in and day out, rain or shine. They look out for each other’s safety and try to please the everyday citizens that they come in contact with. Even at night or on weekends or holidays, if a major problem occurs or if snow moves in, they all may have to come into work to get things straight. That same publication also mentioned the efforts of one man in Florida to try to get national

recognition for all Solid Waste workers by declaring June 17 as "National Garbage Man Day." He wasn't trying to plug the efforts of just garbage men, but he feels, like many who see these workers daily, that some recognition needs to be given to show our appreciation. On any given day, we drink clean water, we can flush our waste away from our home safely, our garbage is collected and taken away before it begins to smell, and we can drive down our paved roads to get where we need to be anywhere in the city. None of this would be possible without the efforts of all of our employees of Public Works. Now we are not trying to get our citizens to run out and purchase cards for all of the employees they see. We do though want to bring about more awareness about what is done daily. Please, when you see the workers on the street, slow down and watch your actions as well as theirs. When out there on the streets, they are concentrating on the problems that need to be corrected. They are doing the work as fast as they can without jeopardizing their safety. They need the citizens to respect their work zone signs and stay clear of the area so as not to get in the way. By being aware, you can help keep them safe as well as to help save your own life. We truly have a heart for public service because all of us want to see Eden thrive. We each play a different role in trying to achieve this, but all of these are important in working together for a common goal.

Some dedicated and hardworking police officers were acknowledged at the May 21 Eden City Council meeting. The department’s Special Response Team (SRT) was recognized for completing Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training while another officer was commended for saving a life. Justin Stewart, Assistant Training Officer with Rockingham County Emergency Services, was in attendance at the meeting to provide background information about the extensive training the SRT went through. The TCCC program was developed by the U.S. military to provide skills for simple, easily trainable, and effective treatments in the field, which would potentially allow for an injured officer to defend himself while attempting to reach safety and

definitive care. These treatments would include self and buddy application of special tourniquets, pressure dressings, wound packing, hemostatic agents, penetrating chest wounds and basic airway management. The training the SRT received gave them the tools they need to survive or help a victim by bringing good medicine to bad situations. SRT members who have received the training, past and present, are Lt. Richie Jeffries, Lt. Tim Harbour, Det. Sam Reid, Officer Todd Shelton, Officer Jonathan Gourley, Officer Jamie Buffkin, Det. Andy Johnson, Officer Daniel Abbruscato, Officer Brian Ferris, Sgt. Chuck Gallaher, Officer Chester Eads, Officer Lee Pruitt, Officer Brian Roland and Lt. David Martin. Also at the meeting, Officer Josh Jones received a commendation. Jones is credited with saving the life of a person who attempted to cause harm to him-

County music featured in New NC Music Trails Guide

Jamie M. Rorrer Rockingham County Partnership for Economic & Tourism Dev.

The Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority is pleased to announce that two local attractions are featured in a new guidebook highlighting Western North Carolina’s legendary music traditions. Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina: A Guide to Music Sites, Artists, and Traditions of the Mountains and Foothills is a 256page book that includes more than 140 color illustrations, profiles of prominent musicians and unique sidebars. Two Eden attractions are featured in the book: banjo legend Charlie Poole and the Charlie Poole Music Festival and The Barn, a bluegrass and gospel music performance venue. Western North Carolina has a national reputation as a musicrich region and its traditions of old-time string band music, ballad singing and bluegrass are internationally renowned — with musicians from the region shaping many forms of American music. Today, bands like the Steep Canyon Rangers, Avett Brothers and the Kruger Brothers are learning these traditions and creating new forms of roots music. In this lively guidebook, noted folklorist Fred C. Fussell puts readers on the trail to discover the many sites in western North Carolina where this unique musical legacy thrives. Organized by region and county, Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina welcomes readers into the rich worlds of bluegrass, oldtime, gospel, and string band music, as well as clogging, flatfooting, and other forms of tradi-

tional dance. In fact, western North Carolina is the heart of unique regional music-making with many distinctions in traditional music that make it one of the most celebrated places for oldtime music-making. No other state has had more influence on the development of the banjo in America. Musicians from the western piedmont and mountain region, including Earl Scruggs, Charlie Poole and Snuffy Jenkins, among many, are recognized as the creators and popularizers of modern banjo styles. The Earl Scruggs Center in Shelby and the Charlie Poole Festival in Eden celebrate the banjo and the achievements of these extraordinary musicians every year. “While our community is firmly planted in the North Carolina Piedmont, our inclusion in this important guide to Blue Ridge music venues and historic sites is an indication of the tremendous importance of Charlie Poole to the development of American music,” said Louise Price, director of the Charlie Poole Music Festival. “We are proud that these two Rockingham County music attractions are featured on this new Blue Ridge Music Trail and in the book,” said Robin Yount, vice president of tourism. “The historical significance of Charlie Poole and the annual festival celebrating his legacy have attracted many visitors to our community over the years. And the success that The Barn is now having in drawing more old-time musicians and traditional dance fans to our county just shows the positive impact that our musical roots have on our tourism industry.” The Rockingham County section of Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina also features a sidebar story about Kinney Rorrer, a local banjo player. Rorrer taught history for 32 years at Danville Community College in Danville, Virginia, before retiring in 2006. He is the author of Ramblin’ Blues: The Life and Songs of Charlie Poole. Rorrer is a descendant of Charlie Poole and also plays the banjo with a group called the New North Carolina Ramblers, named in tribute to the acclaimed North Carolina Ramblers.

Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina is a project of the North Carolina Arts Council and its partner, the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. The book features a CD with more than 20 songs by musicians profiled in the book, historic recordings of the region's most influential musicians spanning nine decades—now available for the first time--and songs based on true stories of love, crime, and tragedy set in the North Carolina mountains. Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina is available for purchase for $20 at www.uncpress.unc.edu. About Charlie Poole Charlie Poole lived and worked in Eden where he had his humble beginnings. It was here that he assembled his famed group, the North Carolina Ramblers, which helped launch his international career as a Columbia Records recording artist during the 1920s and 1930s. Poole and the Ramblers were one of the most popular bands of the 1920s and they had a great impact on the development of bluegrass music and modern country music. Poole is largely responsible for popularizing the banjo. The 2005-released threeCD box set of Poole’s music, “You Ain’t Talkin’ to Me,” received three GRAMMY nominations in 2006. Each June the local community celebrates Poole’s contribution to the music industry with the Charlie Poole Music Festival. The 2013 Charlie Poole Music Festival will take place June 14-15 in Eden. For more information, visit www.charlie-poole.com. About The Barn The Barn is a traditional oldtime music and dance hall that was created by Jerry and Debbie Wilson. Literally a wooden barn, it is located on Gant Road near Eden and attracts people of all ages who gather to see and hear bluegrass and gospel bands. The Barn hosts formal performances as well as local regulars every Tuesday night and the second and fourth Saturdays of each month beginning at 7:00 p.m. It also features a small dance floor where patrons come out to twostep, waltz and flat foot. For more information, call 336.706.2144.

JUNE 2013 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 35 ¶

Best Auditorium bids farewell to the Bests Duane and Gloria Best have become well known fixtures to the town of Eden in the past 53 years; both have touched so many lives. The two will soon be moving on with their lives in another part of North Carolina, leaving Eden, and many, many friends.. Both Duane and Gloria were well loved teachers in the county system for years. Duane Best has taught music from 1960 - 1998 at Morehead High. The Morehead auditorium was dedicated to Duane. He is also known for is planned trips to New York with friends tagging along for the bright lights. He enables others to enjoy the Broadway musicals each year. You could say he always takes his friends, because he has never met someone who doesn’t soon become his friend.

Gloria coordinated the Duane Best Scholarship Fund effort in raising over $250,000 from 2009-2011, to replace 1,624 seats and stage curtains for the 50th Anniversary of the R. Duane Best Auditorium. Gloria Best taught at John M. Morehead High School, Eden; RCC and A & T. State University. She also was a , Deputy Director at the Rockingham Co. Board of Elections, and an employee of Chinqua Penn Plantation, as well as oral history recorder (Rockingham Community College Archives). Gloria is also known for her enthusiasm at Rockingham Habitat for Humanity as well as Rockingham Co. Community Concert Series, Rockingham Co. Arts Council, Rockingham Co.

Employee Wellness Program, Rockingham Co. Ex-Offender Loan Fund, and Rockingham Correction Center Community Advisory Council. The Bests will retire to Cary, NC to be nearer their children and grandchildren. On June 15th everyone is invited to the Duane Best Auditorium at Morehead High School to join the Bests and enjoy the The Musical Memories Variety Show. Performers from across the country will be displaying their talent and there love for the Bests. The main show begins at 7pm at Morehead High School Best Auditorium, 134 N. Pierce St., Eden. But there will be a preshow featuring Bluegrass beginning at 6:40pm. The Variety show will include: Broadway Show

The prize-winning drawing will take place at the 2013 Eden RiverFest on Saturday September 21st. Participants will receive a Get Fit Eden T-shirt while supplies last. Those who wish to register for the program can do so at the Eden Parks and Recreation Department at Eden City Hall 308 E. Stadium Drive, the Eden Chamber of Commerce, 678 S. Van Buren Road or Eden Drug, 103 W. Stadium Drive. Numerous walking trails are available, including the Historic Leaksville 1 and 2 mile loop, the Smith River 3 mile loop, Smith River Greeway 1.7 mile trail, and Draper Village 1 mile loop. Members of the Get Fit Eden Committee will be at those sites to lead participants during the

three month program. Fitness Centers and individual fitness instructors are offering free classes during this time to encourage residents to participate in their classes on a regular basis. “Statistics show that Rockingham County is 78th of the 100 North Carolina counties in health ratings,” stated Eden Mayor Pro-Tem Wayne Tuggle. “We thought it was a good idea to promote healthier living and fitness through the Get Fit Eden program.” Eden Chamber of Commerce President Jean Ann Wood and a current participant in a structured weight management program echoed Tuggle’s remarks. “My health has improved dramatically since I started a weight management program and I hope others will follow suit to discover the benefits of exercise and healthy eating.” The Get Fit Eden program is modelled after a program in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that resulted in that community being transformed from one of the most unhealthy cities to one of the fittest. Oklahoma ranks 43rd in the nation for its health index. Oklahomans have high rates of heart disease, diabetes and 31% are obese. Oklahoma City promoted fitness and healthy food choices resulting in a transformation of the city’s population. Now, sidewalks, greenways and bike paths are essential elements of Oklahoma City’s emphasis on diet, nutrition and fitness. Local Eden industry has engaged in weight loss programs. Gildan Activewear, the largest distributor of T-shirts in the United States, has held three weight loss contests recently and its workforce lost almost 400 total pounds. Those who wish to participate in the kick-off meeting, should come to Eden City Hall, 308 E. Stadium Drive, on Tuesday, May 21st at 7:15pm in time for the 7:30pm City Council meeting. For more information, contact Jean Ann Wood at the Eden Chamber of Commerce336-623-3336 or Mike Dougherty at Eden City Hall336-623-7789 ext. 3046

Black Tie Blue Jean earns thousands The Rockingham Pregnancy care center held it’s 11th annual Black Tie & Blue Jeans event in May to raise money for the center and its community projects. Following a short film featuring an actual person who has benefited from the help of the Pregnancy Center, there was food, fun and of course silent and live auctions. Jesse Meeks Auction did the work for the live auction which raised a great amount of money for the cause, auctioning donated items ranging from vacation rentals, artwork, furniture and memberships, to gift baskets, Karastan rugs, and autographed sports memorabilia. There surely was something for everyone’s tastes. And talking about everyone’s “tastes”… Food was abundant for the guests, donated in full by locals such as Red River Grill, Pizza Hut of Eden, Subway or Eden, Church Street Station, Santana’s, Alcorn Heating and the Chandler Family, Morehead Hospital Birthing Center, First Presbyterian Mission Service, Angelo’s Pizza Pub, Taste of Japan, First Baptist – Draper, Sweet & Sassy Bakery, Mt. Sinai Church, First Baptist of Eden Youth, Sasser Brothers Fine Foods, and Morehead High

School ROTC. Due to all the help in this annual event the Pregnancy Center raised between $37 and 40 thousand dollars. The Rockingham Pregnancy Care Center invests in the lives of women, children, and families by establishing and promoting healthy life patterns, offering to the community the love and compassion of Jesus Christ and His plan for sexuality, marriage and family. Gail Evans-Jones is the Executive Director, Lisa Powers, MSN, MS, RN is Client Services Director, and Liz Luking, RN, is Teen Nurse Educator. The Rockingham Pregnancy care Center would like to thank all the health care providers of Rockingham County who have offered invaluable services throughout this year. And a special thanks going to First Presbyterian Church, Jesse Meeks Real Estate Auction, Inc., Clyde Morris, Reggie Denney’s Auto Repair, Hedrick’s Frames and Things, David Bray, Kevin Bedard and Youth of Osborne Baptist Church, RPCC Client Contributor to video “This is My Story”, Morehead High School ROTC and RPCC Volunteers & Board of Directors.

Frankie White, Amilie White, Ashley Carter, Selena Juarez, Tiffany Wilson, Amy Wilson, Carol Massey, Patricia Wilson The shrill scream of the fire truck siren, the flashing red lights and the loud klaxon horn had people craning their necks to see what the excitement was in the Kings Highway Christian Church parking lot. Instead of the crackling of fire men’s radios or commands to firemen the laughter and giggles of girls were heard as the Daisy Scout Troop was instructed in Fire Safety by Frankie White. The troop and parents listened as Mr. White spoke about fire safety in the home and on a personal level. He stressed the lifesaving property of properly functioning smoke alarms and detectors. The need to be sure if they are battery operated to keep the battery fresh by at least an annual check. A

plan to get out of a burning building safely and quickly, keeping close to the floor away from deadly smoke, including a place to meet outside especially if it is your home was part of the instruction. The girls also were shown and practiced S.D.C.R., S.(stop)D.(drop)C.(cover your face) and R.(roll). Finishing with an overview of how the Fire truck works each Daisy Scout had the experience, with the help of Mr. White, to spray water from the pressurized hose off the Fire Truck. The Daisy Scouts and their parents thanked Frankie White for his timely information. Daisy Scout Troop 02174 meets at Kings Highway Christian Church, Thursday nights.

L.O.T. 2540... A community ministry While Marty Roberts had been a volunteer with Urban Ministries in Greensboro, he began to realize how many people from Rockingham County had to come for them for help. In 2010, Roberts, and owner/operator/ executive director of Help for the Homeless, David Burnette, proceeded to work on the problem and soon opened L.O.T. 2540 to bring help to those in need. Located only 25 minutes north of

the Piedmont Triad airport, the LOT 2540 architectural salvage store and ministries can be found at 124 New Market, Madison, NC27025 in the Kmart shopping center, L.O.T. 2540 is a non-profit organization, located in Western Rockingham County of North Carolina. Partnered with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the two worked hard to create a project similar to Habitat for Humanity's restore. LOT 2540

ADTS Celebrates National Nurse Week Aging, Disability & Transit Services was proud to celebrate National Nurse Week by recognizing the fine work of our Nursing staff. T. Lee Covington, Executive Director for ADTS said, “We are thrilled to honor and recognize the fine work of our nursing staff. They dedicate themselves fully each day to making sure that the services we provide are top notch.” ADTS currently has 7 registered nurses on staff, 4 in our In Home Division, one at our Adult Day Care/Day Health Center, one in CAP-DA Case Management and one who oversees the information/referral/intake process. In addition to our fine nursing staff, we also acknowledge the excellent work of our more than 180 Certified Nurse Aides and Family Aides who touch people’s lives daily in critical ways. Aging, Disability and

Transit Services is a private nonprofit agency whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for all Rockingham County Citizens, with primary focus on senior adults, people with disabilities and their families. Through service and advocacy we empower them to achieve optimum health and well being, independence and participation in the community. This mission is accomplished through providing an array of community services including In Home Aide (CAPDA, PCS, Home & Community Care Block Grant, Private Pay), Meals on Wheels, Meals With Friends Nutrition Sites, Adult Day Care/Day Health, RCATS Public Access Transportation, skat bus route, Community Resource Connections, Hospital Transition Services, Volunteer Caregiver Services and Advocacy and Referral Services.

salvages items from properties the university purchased. Now their organization currently houses a food pantry, their store, a free store of clothing and household goods, gathering of building materials, creating a food pantry and worship areas, and an area of free clothing and personal items for those who find themselves in need. The vision is grounded in an approach that involves the salvaging of lives as well as redirection of building materials destined for our landfills. These materials are taken to the retail store where they are made available to the public at 50% to 90% lower than their original price. Their mission is to promote: Spiritual and physical restoration for families and individuals of our communities, recycling of lightly used Building materials, and mentoring programs that encourage self-reliance. Salvaged items are available to view at their warehouse, but some samples can also be found in their Product Galleries on Facebook. Roberts has a background in business ownership and information technology, and actually left a steady job to start this ministry. The facility is run by dedicated volunteers who care just as much about the needs of the less fortunate as Roberts The Architectural Salvage Store is open Wednesdays thru Friday from 12-7pm and Saturdays 94pm. New products arrive weekly, so be sure to check back weekly for your needs. Roberts noted that there is a large crafting community, which works to up-cycle furniture as well as

other household items into artwork and household décor, and they have space as vendors to sell their work in L.O.T. 2540

Don’t Let Mosquitoes, Ticks or Fleas Take A Bite Out of Your Summer Fun –

Learn How to Protect Your Family and Pets Wentworth, NC – With warmer temperatures and extended daylight, summer also brings potential threats to the health of you and your pets: vector-borne diseases that are transmitted to humans by vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes or fleas. According to the CDC, diseases transmitted through insect bites are among the most complex of all infectious diseases to prevent and control. Not only are humans susceptible to disease, but animals can become infected as well. The rapid, unstoppable spread of West Nile virus (WNV) across the United States is an example of the problem. Another emerging infection, Lyme disease, has resulted in over 20,000 annual reported human cases in the US in recent years. Dengue fever causes thousands of cases of illness in US territories and US travelers, and millions of cases worldwide. Tick-borne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis are responsible for over 4,000 cases each year, including some with fatal outcome. Dogs are very susceptible to tick bites and tick-borne disease. Vaccines are not available for all tick-borne diseases that dogs can get, and they don’t keep the dogs from bringing ticks into your home. According to Glenn Martin, Rockingham County Health Director, “while it is a good idea to take preventive measures against ticks year-round, be extra vigilant in warmer months (April – September) when ticks are most active”. This may be difficult for people who enjoy working and playing outdoors and individuals who occupations increase their exposure to outdoor elements. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk. Tick Check Frequently Tips for Humans • Bathe or shower within one hour of coming inside. • Conduct a full-body tick check using a hand held or full-length mirror. Ticks can attach anywhere – pay particular attention to the backs of the knees, groin, waist, armpits, back of ears, chest, and back of upper arms. • Remove a tick before it has a

chance to transmit disease. Tips for Pets • Check your pets for ticks daily, especially after they spend time outdoors. • If you find a tick on your dog, remove it right away. • Ask your veterinarian to conduct a tick check at each exam. • Talk to your veterinarian about tick-borne diseases in your area. • Talk with your veterinarian about using tick preventives on your pet.

• Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible – not waiting for it to detach. For more information about vector-borne disease prevention, visit www.cdc.gov

Environmental Safeguards • Keep grass short and remove plants that attract animals like deer and rodents. • Pour out any standing water and remove any containers that can hold water. • Keep gutters clean and in good repair. • Repair leaky outdoor faucets and change water in bird baths and pet bowls at least twice a week. • Check window and door screens. • Dress Appropriately and Use Repellents • Wear light-colored clothing so ticks are easier to see. • Tuck pant legs into socks and tuck shirt into pants. • Use repellents that contain 20% or more DEET (N, N-diethyl-mtoluamide) on exposed skin for protection that lasts up to several hours. • If you can’t avoid exposure, use products that contain permethrin on clothing. Treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents. It remains protective through several washings.

continued from Page 37

Tick Removal • Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. • Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. • After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.

The delegates, from what is now the country of Tajikistan, were hosted by the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA), Three Rivers Outfitters, and Piedmont Folk Legacies as part of the "Rockingham County Jobs, Forests, and Rivers Initiative" (RCJFR). RCJFR is an initiative to enhance opportunities for job

Some 6,000 American host families and their communities in all 50 states have partnered with the U.S. Congress and Open World to make this ambitious public diplomacy effort possible."
