On Sunday April 15th at 5:30pm a massive line of storms stretching from Southern Florida to Canada swept through the area, producing tornadoes that took the life of one in Guilford County and destroyed homes and businesses, causing widespread power outages and a call for disaster relief from the government.

The first sighting of a tornado on the ground was in Greensboro near the Lee Street area of Hwy. 29. This area was devastated by the EF2 tornado, high winds and heavy rains as the storm headed on a path north on 29.

Skirting the east of Reidsville, another touch down hit the Mayfield area, through Ruffin and into Virginia.

According to Rodney Cates, Emergency Services Director of Rockigham County, the northeast sections of Rockingham County have sustained major damage from a tornado. The area of Grooms Rd., Frank Rd., and Rocky Ford Rd. sustained the most damage yet there was also substantial damage in the Ruffin area.

More jobs coming to County City and County officials are excited about Governor Roy Cooper’s announcement in April that local industry Albaad will be creating more than 300 jobs and investing nearly $45 million as part of its expansion plans.

Albaad, an international manufacturer of wet wipes and other non-woven textile products, is located in the Reidsville Industrial Park. The Israeli company, which currently supports 225 jobs in North Carolina, will add those 302 jobs over a three-year period as it expands to a second physical facility in the City.

“We are very pleased to continue expanding our Albaad USA business in Reidsville,” said Gidi Tenne, Plant Manager for Albaad. “We continue to build on a great workforce, culture and community that supports advanced manufacturing jobs in Rockingham County.

This merging of technology and a strong, creative workforce is the foundation of our success and we look forward to continued growth in the future.”

Albaad will add a variety of positions with this expan-

Eden Adopts Amended Ordinance to Address Animal Cruelty In response to matters voiced by concerned members of the animal welfare group, Humane-ity, and other concerned citizens, the Eden City Council working with the City of Eden Police Department amended their Animal Ordinance on April 17, 2018. The amended ordinance will include a new section under Chapter 3: Animals by adding Section 3-8 Cruel Treatment.

The new section will address humane animal tethering as well as sanitary and adequate food, water and shelter. Chains and ropes will no longer be acceptable.

Chains or ropes can tangle up and prevent the dog from access to food, water and shelter or the dog could possibly become entangled in the rope, chain or surrounding objects and become strangled.

The amended ordinance will require that tethered dogs must be attached to a swiveled ground anchor by a coated cable wire at least fifteen (15) feet in length and

and logistics personnel. Salaries for the new positions will average $38,300, which is higher than the current Rockingham County average wage of $34,620.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for Reidsville and for Albaad,” said Reidsville Mayor Jay Donecker, who spoke at the Governor’s press conference along with Kevin Berger, Chair of the Rockingham County Commissioners. “It is one piece of the puzzle, starting with Love’s Travel breaking ground a few weeks ago.

We anticipate several more announcements this year.

We appreciate everything Albaad does for our community.”

County Commission Chair Kevin Berger agreed.

“We are excited to have Albaad expand in Rockingham County,” Chair Berger said. “Without a doubt, the teamwork of the City of Reidsville, the County and State

Dear Ms. Griffith, I am writing in support of the ¼ cent sales tax referendum to be decided by Rockingham County voters on May 8, 2018.

The revenue from the tax will be used to fund workforce education at Rockingham Community College (RCC.) As an RCC graduate, I have seen how my Associates degree in Industrial Systems Technologies has helped my career with the City of Eden. Currently, I am a Machine Operator, something I wanted to do because I like to work with my hands. I believe my RCC degree will help me progress with the City in the future.

When I graduated from high school, I enrolled in a 4year private college. After one semester, I realized it was not a good fit for me. I am grateful that RCC was there for me with its Industrial Systems Technologies program which has given me a bright future.

I hope the voters of Rockingham County will support this referendum so other students can enjoy the same career potential as I have. RCC is a great resource for our students. Please help this organization provide the training our children will need for future jobs.

Sincerely, Jesse Carter

Letter to the Editor, I am writing in support of the ¼ penny sales tax referendum that will be on the May 8, 2018 primary election ballot.

This additional funding will be used solely for workforce education at Rockingham Community College. The current facilities are not up to standard for today’s workforce needs. Jobs are getting more sophisticated and for anyone to earn a living wage, they will need additional training after high school. RCC has always been one of the great resources in our county but it needs investment.

The tax is not on groceries, gasoline or prescription drugs and it only reaches a full penny when you spend more than $4.00. This seems like a small sacrifice to help our children have better opportunities in life.

Please vote “For” on the ¼ penny sales tax ballot on May 8th.

Sincerely, Neville Hall, Mayor of Eden

A note from Keith Mabe...

In the past 7 plus years, I have worked to reduce wasteful spending, creating more jobs and worked to prevent jobs from leaving the county. I also focused on making county government more transparent and making the government work for the people as customers.

During my time the taxpayer’s property taxes were reduced. In 2011 unemployment was above 16%, 2017 unemployment is below 6%. Created more jobs in my tenure than what was created in the past decade before with the most recent job announcement of Albaad expansion of 302 jobs in the Ball Plant. I’ve fought to save several companies from leaving adding even more jobs to the county. We’ve had of our meetings computer STREAMED and tape recorded over Rockingham Update and Channel 2 the RCC network so citizens can watch the meetings at home.

We also held the county employees accountable for the departments spending and the departments were rewarded when they saved the county money. Each department had measurable goals and objectives that were reviewed each year to make sure the department was on a positive trend of improvement. All departments were graded on customer service because the taxpayer and our citizens are our customers.

The focus needs to be getting a higher level of a skilled work force to fill the vacant jobs that employers need. This can be accomplished through Rockingham Community

College and upgrading the training equipment that more matches what the employer has in the manufacturing plant.

We also need to plan a strategy for a waste water treatment operation or work with the western towns to get sewer down the main corridors on the west side.

We also need a similar strategy between Eden and Reidsville and out 158 East and West.

I have been fair and honest to everyone regardless of who they were or what party they belonged too.

I have always accepted responsibility for what I have done both good and bad and have asked God for forgiveness for the bad. One quote that I always take to heart is “The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moment of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in the times of challenge and controversy”. I want to thank everyone for their continued confidence in me over the past years.

I would appreciate your Vote on May 8. Thank you and God Bless.

Keith Mabe, County Commissioner Dear Ms. Griffith, I am writing in support of the ¼ cent sales tax that is on the May 8, 2018 primary ballot. This tax will benefit Rockingham Community College by providing funds for workforce education. My story shows why supporting RCC is important.

While attending RCC, I worked the weekend shift at Gildan Activewear. This allowed me to dedicate time to my education and begin a career at this local Eden company. I graduated with an Associates Degree in Business Administration. After working as a production controller, I am now a shift supervisor at Gildan.

I believe I have a good future at Gildan because of the education I received at RCC. I ask Rockingham County citizens to please support the ¼ cent sales tax to help our community college. There are good jobs available in Rockingham County, but we need the type of training to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s industry. This small tax –it only reaches a penny when you spend $4.00---will help other students have a good future.

Sincerely, Edgar Robertson To the Editor and citizens, My name is Kimberly W. McMichael and I want to represent you as a Republican for Rockingham County Board of Education, Member at Large seat, in the 2018 election. A native of Rockingham County, and 1993 graduate of Rockingham County Senior High School, I have been married to Penn McMichael for 16 years.

Jobs...Continued from Page 1 were instrumental. On behalf of the citizens of Rockingham County, I want to thank Governor Cooper, Senator Berger and Commerce Secretary Tony Copeland for their role in landing this expansion for the City of Reidsville and Rockingham County.”

“We feel that Reidsville and Rockingham County are poised for real economic development growth over the coming year due to our location and businessfriendly climate,” said Reidsville Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka. “We love to get new industries here but we are also delighted when our existing industries make plans to build on their presence here.”

“We are thrilled with Albaad's success in our community and extremely grateful for the company's investment here,” said Jan Critz-Yokeley, Director of Economic Development & Tourism for the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business &

Tourism. “It was a true team effort by the State, Reidsville and County to secure this expansion when the company had the choice to go elsewhere. Albaad is a leading example of advanced manufacturing and we look forward to the company's continued success in Rockingham County."

The announcement by Governor Cooper is the culmination of more than a year’s worth of discussions between the company, State and local officials about Albaad’s plans to expand.

Albaad’s expansion in Rockingham County will be facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee earlier today. Over the course of the 12-year term of this grant, the project will grow the state’s economy by an estimated $810 million. Using a formula that takes into account the new tax revenues generated by the new jobs, the JDIG agreement authorizes the potential

reimbursement to the company of up to $3,688,200, spread over 12 years. State payments only occur following performance verification by the departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its incremental job creation and investment targets. JDIG projects result in positive net tax revenue to the state treasury, even after taking into consideration the grant’s reimbursement payments to a given company.

Partnering with the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the EDPNC on this project were the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Duke Energy, Rockingham County, the City of Reidsville, The Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business and Tourism, and the City of Reidsville Economic Development Department.

of sufficient strength to restrain the dog without breaking.

Chains, ropes, twine, cords and non-cable wire are not acceptable types of tethers. All tethers must have swivels attached to both ends to prevent twisting.

The area should be free of garbage and other debris that can harm the dog. It shall be unlawful to tether a dog in a manner as to cause injury, strangulation or entanglement of the animal on fences, trees, or other manmade or natural obstacles; or to a fixed-point; or that is under four (4) months of age; or that is sick or injured. There should be no fences or objects within the radius of the tether that the dog can get hung upon. The tether must be arranged so as to be free from obstacles that may limit the movable length of the tether.

The tethering ordinance also states that the tether must be attached to a safe and secure harness or collar. Under no circumstances shall the tether be placed directly around the dog’s neck.

Tethers are never to be used in conjunction with training collars such as choke or pinch style collars and shelter and water must be present and always within reach of a tethered dog.

Properly fitted collars will be required It will no longer be acceptable to use carriers or crates as shelter. The following descriptions will address adequate food water and shelter requirements.

Adequate food: The provision at suitable intervals, of a quantity of wholesome foodstuff suitable for the species and age, sufficient to maintain a reasonable level of nutrition in each animal. Such foodstuff shall be served in a receptacle, dish, or container that is physically clean.

Adequate water: Means provision of and access to clean,

fresh, potable water of a drinkable temperature which is provided in a suitable manner, in sufficient volume, and a suitable intervals, to maintain normal hydration for the age, species, condition, size and type of each animal; and is provided in clean, durable receptacles which are accessible to each animal and are placed so as to minimize contamination of the water by excrement and pests or an alternative source of hydration consistent with generally accepted husbandry practices.

Adequate shelter: Means provision of and access to shelter that is suitable for the species, age, condition, size, and type of each animal; provides adequate space for each animal; is safe and protects each animal from injury, rain, sleet, snow, hail, direct sunlight, the adverse effects of heat or cold, physical suffering, and impairment of health; is properly cleaned; enables each animal to be clean and dry, except when detrimental to the species; and, for dogs and cats provides a solid surface, level resting platform, pad, floor mat, or similar device that is large enough for the dog or cat to lie on in a normal manner and can be maintained in a sanitary manner. Adequate shelters for a dog or cat should consist of (3) walls, a top and a floor. Under this chapter, shelters whose wire, grid, or slat floor (i) permit the animal’s feet to pass through the openings, (ii) sag under the animal’s weight, or (iii) otherwise do not protect the animal’s feet or toes from injury are not adequate shelter. Crawl spaces under building/decks, under or in a vehicle, made from materials easily degraded by the elements, carriers or crates designed for temporary housing are not defined as adequate shelter.

When sunlight is likely to cause

heat exhaustion of an animal tied or confined outside, sufficient shade by natural or artificial means shall be provided to protect the animal from direct sunlight.

It will also be unlawful to fail to provide any dog with adequate space. "Adequate space" means sufficient space to allow each dog to easily stand, sit, lie, turnabout, and make all other normal body movements in a comfortable, normal position for the dog and interact safely with other animals in the enclosure.

Chief Greg Light and Captain John Edwards both explain that this ordinance reflects what other surrounding communities have adopted. By adding these requirements we hope that will allow our Animal Control Officer to more effectively ensure animals are not being mistreated. Chief Light explained that the animal owner will have 6 months to comply with the revised animal cruelty ordinance.

Humane-ity, a group of local Eden and Rockingham County residents working to improve the standards of care for animals in the community, county and state, believe that these changes to the ordinance will enhance the ability of our local Animal Control officers to police and enforce the ordinances designed to protect domestic animals in the city.

Statistics show that responsible pet ownership as enforced and protected by local ordinances benefits the community in many ways – to include reduced overall costs of handling, sheltering and euthanizing animals that are neglected, abandoned or abused.

In the case of a serious violation, the police may seize the animal.

According to the priorities submitted and discussed by the Mayor and City Council, the funding priority themes for FY 2018-19 include: A. Economic Dvpt. Initiatives B. Parks & Recreation Initiatives C. Infrastructure Improvement Initiatives D. Positively Eden Strategic Plan Initiatives E. Code Enforcement & Nuisance Abatement It should be noted that funding to some degree or another for each of these identified and discussed priority themes has been included in the budget as submitted.

The budget does not increase the current tax rate of $0.609 per $100 assessed property valuation. A comparison of the existing tax rates currently being charged by surrounding governmental entities is as follows: Eden $ 0.609 Madison $ 0.73 Mayodan $ 0.63 Reidsville $ 0.74 Rockingham County $0.696 Stoneville $ 0.69 Wentworth - Not Applicable The budget does not increase the water rates, sewer rates or monthly res. solid waste fee.

The budget does not increase the motor vehicle license fee of $15.00 per licensed vehicle.

The budget includes a flat $700 increase in compensation for all full-time employees.

The budget includes funding for 181 full-time employees.

This is a reduction of 3 full- time positions since Oct. 2015. This full-time employment level compares favorably to the 203 fulltime positions that were funded in FY 1995-96, and the 189 fulltime positions that were being funded during FY 2000-01.

The budget includes $1,000,000 in contingency funds (General Fund $500,000 and Water & Sewer Fund $500,000) for unanticipated expenditures and/or unforeseen declines in revenue.

The FY 2018-19 spending plan includes the allocation of $1,000,000 in available fund bal-

ance (General Fund $500,000 and Water & Sewer Fund $500,000). Without the appropriation of $1,000,000 in contingency funds as noted above, there would not have been a need to allocate any balance.

Approximately $38,201,955 in work related to the EPA Administrative Order Consent (AOC) ($31,134,055) to eliminate Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) and the Berry Hill Mega Park Project ($7,067,900) to extend waterlines to the NC/VA state line will dominate much of our time over the next 4 years.

A lump sum allocation of $300,000 for additional undesignated initiatives related to the continued implementation of the Positively Eden Strategic Plan is included in the budget.

Funding is included for the following items: • $4,760,900 for capital outlay items – several of which, are related to the Positively Eden Strategic Plan: General Fund – $1,543,600 Powell Bill/Street Resurfacing – $856,700 Water & Sewer Fund – $2,360,600 • $2,831,800 in loan proceeds for twenty-four different items/initiatives.

• $2,769,600 for debt service payments: • General Fund – $820,100 • Water & Sewer Fund – $1,949,500 • $1,307,900 in revenue from the following grants/principal forgiveness loans to help fund various projects and initiatives: 1. Rockingham County Aging, Disability & Transit Services (RCATS) Grant for the Skat Bus Operations – $127,800.

2. Duke Energy Water Resources Fund Grant for the Klyce Street/Draper River Access Points/Landings – $100,000.

3. Community Oriented Policing Services Grant the Help Fund Two Additional Police Officers – $83,100.

4. North Carolina Commerce Rural Infrastructure Authority Grant for the New Street Sewer Improvements Project – $997,000. $262,000 in funding to pay for the City’s obligations in reference to performance agreements with four local industries: Gildan, SGRTEX, Karastan, and Innofa. $162,800 for code enforcement efforts including demolitions and

nuisance abatements and $40,000 in funding for part-time employees who will focus on picking up litter and debris to improve community aesthetics. $124,100 in funding to continue supporting a number of community-wide organizations, events and initiatives.

A copy of the complete budget message can be found on the City’s web page in the document center for your review and information. It can be accessed directly via this link: https://www.edennc.us/Documen tCenter/View/10401. A public hearing and adoption of the FY 2018-19 budget will be held during the City Council’s regular meeting on May 15, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.

Economic & Tourism Development Department Lidl Supermarket Lidl Senior Real Estate Development Manager Hector Baez and Director of Communications Will Harwood spoke with Director of Economic Development Mike Dougherty on March 29th. All communications about new store openings come through the Communications Department.

Mr. Harwood remarked that he often deals with Economic Development offices in the locations in which Lidl has opened.

When the Eden store is scheduled for opening, the City will be the first to know, but there is no timetable for the Eden store that has been established at this time. Mr. Dougherty reiterated that area citizens are eager for the store to open, which they appreciated.

Mr. Dougherty has also sent out a Facebook request to Eden and Rockingham County citizens to visit the Lidl web site and click on the “contact us” link.

They can express their desire for the company to open the Eden store.

On March 28th, Mr. Dougherty received a call from a Triad Business Journal reporter about a Greensboro Lidl location that has been delayed. He was curious about the Eden location.

On March 21, 2018, Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Burnette, Main Street Manager Randy Hunt, Chamber of Commerce President Angela Fowler, Chamber Past President Will Flynt and Director of Economic Development Mike Dougherty met with Shawn Gorman, former county employee and VP of SCORE Greensboro to discuss starting a SCORE chapter in Eden. During his time in the county, Shawn monitored about 300 new businesses starting annually.

NC Wildlife Resources Commission The City of Eden has been informed that this state agency has purchased the remaining Whitt Farm property located off of River Road outside of Eden.

They will do a formal announcement in the near future. This property almost became a landfill in 2014.

Food Drive extended due to Tornados

Photo courtesy of UNC The Rockingham County Food Drive has extended its collections to run through Saturday, May 19, Blake Dawson, chairman of the Committee of 100 that conducts the annual event, announced today.

“People affected by the tornados – those whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged – probably will be contacting our agencies for help,” he said. “We also are running behind on our collections this year because of the 10,000pound increase in the goal.”

Businesses, organizations and individuals who want to help meet the 50,000-pound goal can use these extra three weeks to increase their efforts to bring in more food.

Dawson could not say how near the food drive is to meeting the increased goal because some agencies won’t be providing

UNC Rockingham Health Care collected 331 packages of macaroni and cheese, canned peas and other food items for the countywide food drive. Pictured are Myla Barnhardt, left, marketing and communications coordinator at the hospital, and Dale Hallett, manager of the Cooperative Christian Ministries.

their totals until after the drive’s original end date of April 28.

“We know that many of those people in the path of the April 15 tornado lost everything they had and are having to change their entire lives,” Dawson said. “Many have had to find another place to live on the spur of the moment and are now making decisions about replacing or repairing their homes.”

“We hope being able to get food from the participating agencies will lessen some of their worries,” he said.

Anyone wanting to donate food or help collect non-perishable items can drop off their donations to any of the seven participating agencies, at local fire departments, or can arrange to have it picked up by calling 336-432-2843 or 336-627-1256.

Randy McIntyre, owner Casey McIntyre and Chris Frazier, from left, of LED Integrations Co. on Church Street in Burlington hold some of the food they have collected for the drive. They learned about last year’s drive from a television newscast and brought nearly 1,000 pounds of food to add to the Countywide Food drive in Rockingham County. McIntyre says they plan to double that amount this year.

Q & A’s: 7 screening Tests for Women

May is the month when many women celebrate Mother’s Day. Maybe breakfast in bed, homemade cards, extra hugs….? It’s pretty wonderful to feel so cared for. But how well do you take care of yourself —whether or not you’re a mother? one big piece of self-care involves regular screening tests, which can prevent many health problems— or help you nip them in the bud as early as possible. Life can get hectic, though, so it’s easy to forget or to put it off.

Here is a brief overview of the tests the u.s. Preventive services Task Force recommends for women. remember: these are guidelines only. Talk with your doctor about your unique needs.

1. Blood pressure test. starting at age 18: • get tested at least every 2 years if your blood pressure is lower than 120/80.

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

• Discuss treatment with your doctor if your blood pressure is 130/80 or higher, per American Heart Association.

2. Bone mineral density test.

• At age 50, ask your doctor if you are at risk for bone disease (osteoporosis).

• At age 65 or older, have at least one bone mineral density test.

Ask your doctor whether you need repeat testing.

3. Breast cancer screening.

• At age 40, discuss your risk with your doctor to decide if you need regular mammograms.

• starting at age 50, have a mammogram every 2 years.

• At age 75, ask your doctor whether or not you need to be screened.

4. Cervical cancer screening.

• starting at age 21, get a Pap test every 3 years if you have a cervix.

• starting at age 30, you can get a Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) test together every 5 years if you have a cervix.

• At age 65 or older, ask your doctor whether or not you need a Pap test.

5. Cholesterol test. starting at age 20, get a regular cholesterol test if you are at increased risk for heart disease. Ask your doctor how often to do this.

6. Colorectal cancer screening. From age 50 to 75, get screened for colorectal cancer.

This may include one or more tests, such as fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy.

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

7. Diabetes screening. starting at age 18, get screened if your blood pressure is higher than 130/80 or if you take high blood pressure medicine.

In addition, if you’re sexually active, ask your doctor whether or not you need any special tests.

What if one of the tests above reveals that you have a health condition? You might feel overwhelmed by a new diagnosis. Many people do. We can offer you private consultations and a wide range of resources to help you manage what’s ahead. For example, if you need to monitor your blood pressure at home, you can find blood pressure kits for sale right here. or if you need help managing any drug interactions, we can work with your doctor to find better options for you. Don’t forget: eden Drug is with you each step of the way. 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.

HAPPY MoTHers DAY!

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Teen Leadership Council formed The Rockingham County Teen Leadership Council is a new initiative sponsored by Rockingham County Government, wherein Leadership Council members will serve as a liaison between the youth of Rockingham County and their County Government.

This is a service-oriented organization that requires monthly meetings as as well as participation in programs throughout the school year. Interested applicants are encouraged to read the Leadership Council's bylaws and attend a County Commissioner meeting to see what being a part of a governing team is like firsthand.

Students entering grades 9-12 for the 2018-2019 school year who attend a public, private, or home school within Rockingham County are eligible to apply.

The deadline for applications is May 30, 2018. Membership selection will be made before July 20, 2018, at which time all applicants will receive a letter of status. Membership in the Rockingham County Teen Leadership Council is expected to be very competitive, and those not selected are encouraged to reapply in subsequent years.

Help for Stuttering as close as your Library Thanks to generous donors, the Stuttering Foundation has donated books and DVDs to libraries across the country, including the Rockingham County Public Libraries.

Stuttering Foundation books are directed to parents of children who stutter, adults who stutter, speech pathologists, pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, health care professionals, hospitals, schools, clinics, day-care centers, and all those concerned with the problem of stuttering. The DVDs feature some of the world's leading therapists with children who stutter.

Since the original publication, Foundation materials have reached millions of individuals worldwide.

More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering remains misunderstood by most people," said Jane Fraser, president of The Stuttering Foundation. "Myths such as believing people who stutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs."

Sixteen books and DVDs produced by the 70-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. The Foundation has provided free materials that are available to over 20,000 public libraries nationwide. A library that will shelve them can e-mail info@stutteringhelp.org.

Sheriff urges, “Keep Rockingham County Beautiful, Don’t Litter!”

With Spring finally here, take a moment during your busy day, look around and take in our county's natural beauty. From our lakes and rivers to our parks and cities, Rockingham County has a lot to offer when it comes to breath-taking landscapes.

Rockingham County Sheriff Sam S. Page would like to remind citizens that it is the responsibility of all of us to keep our county beautiful.

Some people don’t know they’re littering. A cigarette butt here. A bit of loose trash in the truck bed. Others just don’t care.

They toss their fast-food bag out their car window thoughtlessly.

From turning our roadsides into eyesores, to harming local wildlife of all sizes, litter adds up and affects everyone and everything.

"Please don't litter.", says Rockingham County Sheriff Sam S. Page. "It can be costly, not only to the environment, but to your wallet as well. People caught littering can be fined up to 1,000 dollars! Not to mention the drain it puts on our resources and potential economic development. Imagine you are thinking of moving your business to Rockingham County, you're driving through looking for a potential location and you see garbage along every roadside that you travel on. Would that incise you to bring your business to Rockingham County? It's up to all of us to make sure Rockingham County stays beautiful for the generations to come! Make sure that you ALWAYS put your trash in its proper place... a garbage receptacle!"

County employees gathered food for the Countywide Food Drive.

The need of Food Pantries & Soup Kitchens Increased The Rockingham Countywide Food Drive Committee has increased this year’s goal to collect 50,000 pounds of non-perishable food for local residents. This 10,000pound increase over last year is due to the tremendous need being heard from food pantries and soup kitchens throughout the county. Food donations may be made now through Saturday, April 28th.

Like last year, canned good and non-perishable food donations were collected at various County Governmental Offices and public libraries.

"We will do all we can to help share food and encourage others to give towards the Countywide Food Drive," said Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler. "I was very thankful for the way our staff and residents stopped by last year with bags and bags of canned goods and non-perishable foods. We invite our entire community to contribute either here at the Governmental Center or one of our public libraries."

David Spear anecdotes and tales of his work with the Madison Messenger/ The Messenger as well as his retirement predicament when he found himself a little lost with nothing to focus on.

His tale began with joining his family business in 1964 as he noted how the early years revolved around integration as well as other turmoil in the country and county.

When his family sold the business and he retired in 1984, Spear found that he had more time on his hands than he could handle. “I felt lost,” he said. A friend told him that he would do well with photography, but he lost focus, but only for a while.

Spears said he had an epiphany, not the last, but this one was that his photography needed focus, a theme.

In 1987 with this knowledge sinking in, it didn’t take long to realize that a theme was right down the road from him. A family who seemed to be lost in time.

This is when he began contacting the Neugents, a small tobacco farming family on Tobacco

Flynn named Animal Shelter Director Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler announced this morning the appointment of Brittany Flynn as the new Rockingham County Animal Shelter Director, effective immediately.

"Brittany served as Interim Director after former Director, Kevin Baughn, was selected as Madison's Town Manager in November," Metzler said. "She was our Animal Shelter Flynn Manager for seven years and did a tremendous job sharpening her managerial, supervisory and leadership skills. Her technical background, certifications and experiences were also outstanding, therefore, her credentials rose to the top."

Flynn said she wanted to: "continue to grow and develop the Rockingham County Animal Shelter in order to improve the live-release rates; gain new partnerships with animal welfare agencies; stay current on changes to improve the quality of life for animals at the shelter; and to present the shelter in a positive light to Rockingham County and the State of North Carolina."

Prior to working at Rockingham County Animal Shelter, Flynn was Shelter Supervisor at Forsyth County Animal Shelter; Veterinarian Technician for Hopkins Road Animal Hospital; as well as for Banfield Pet Hospital.

She graduated from East Forsyth High School and majored in Animal Cruelty Investigations at the University of Missouri Extension.

She is a Certified Euthanasia Technician; Certified Rabies Vaccinator; and Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator who served the Rockingham County Sheriff's Dept. as the County's Cruelty Investigator for five years. In addition, she is a member of the NC Animal Federation; experienced with animal hoarding; and experienced as a First Responder for the Humane Society of the U.S. An Eden resident, Flynn and her husband, Holden, have lived in Rockingham County for seven years and have one son, Ryker Dean Flynn, who is currently three years old. Her first "children" are her four dogs, Gracie, Riley, Maddie, and Kodie.

Frequently Asked Questions about the proposed 1/4¢ sales tax Submitted by Citizens for the One Fourth Cent Sales Tax to Benefit RCC

Q: What will happen at the cash register if this sales tax is passed?

A: The Rockingham County sales tax will go from 6.75% to 7%. In many cases, consumers are already paying the 7% because you cannot pay ¼ cent and businesses just round up to 7%.

A: Everyone pays the tax including visitors and renters. The tax is paid by outsiders visiting the county, not just local taxpayers.

Q: What will the funds be used for?

A: To help improve our workforce education at Rockingham Community College. By 2025, almost 70% of all jobs will require some education beyond high school.

Currently, there are over 900 open jobs in Rockingham County but many of our citizens do not have the skills to compete for those jobs. The funding will help fund programs in advanced manufacturing, electronics, welding, HVAC training, plumbing, cosmetology and training for many other professions. It is esti-

Q: How much is the tax?

A: it is ¼ cent on a dollar or a penny on a $4.00 purchase.

Q: Is this tax on everything I purchase?

A: No, it is NOT on groceries, gasoline or prescription drugs.

Q: Why is this better than a property tax?

Road in Madison, that didn’t seem affected by the surrounding communities growth. A simple and straight forward family that worked unbelievably hard to make ends meet, and exhibited the values of a by-gone age.

At first Spears said the idea didn’t “sit well” with the matriarch of the family, Mamie. But after a few months of thinking, Spear understood why and made a new proposal to the family. If they, Mamie and Tracy Neugent, would let him have time to photograph their family’s everyday lives over an extended period of time, he would share the proceeds of the photographs and any book that came from the work.

This did it, even though they were what some would call “back woods”, they had a business head on their shoulders that told them, this may work in their favor.

The author then went on to take hundreds of photos of the family in their everyday lives, which basically always involved working or resting from their hard work.

Several of the photos made it into his first book The Neugents, “Close to Home”, a book containing very moving images of the family, including the extended family, that still lived on the land.

This book was first released in 1993 and has went on to sell extremely well for a photography book. It includes a detailed story of the family as well, with quotes that will make you laugh and sigh. It’s large format makes it a perfect coffee table book and conversation piece.

After this book he went on to create two more photography books, one focused on Mexico named Visible Spirits, the other on Cuba named 10 days in

Havana (which almost didn’t get done due to a badly timed back injury).

He is now presenting his most recent book which is Playing with Dynamite, The Story of One Newspaper Family in the South. This book takes you on a 60 year journey in history in Madison as two New Englanders struggle to establish a paper in Madison, N.C. during the Great Depression. Russell M. and Mimi Spear soon learn how absorbing the business can be.

The book is a memoir of the evolution of the newspaper from

mated that 45% of county graduates do not seek additional education.

That has to change for our citizens to compete for good-paying jobs.

Q: Who is supporting this tax referendum?

A: Citizens for the One- Fourth Cent Sales Tax to Benefit RCC is the name of the bi-partisan committee supporting this referendum.

Q: What do the local political parties think of this referendum?

A: Both the Rockingham County Republican and Democrat parties support the referendum.

Art Rocks Is Back The community art project, Art Rocks in Rockingham County 2018, comes to fruition on Friday evening, May 11, at Market Square in Reidsville with a free-to-attend county-wide festival. This is the second year for the Art Rocks in Rockingham County project and festival, which is a collaborative effort between UMAR of Reidsville, the Fine Arts Festival Association of Rockingham County and the Rockingham County Arts Council. Artists from across Rockingham County have spent the past few months painting 25 award winning Troutman rocking chairs that were handmade in North Carolina. A call to artists went out in September of 2017.

Individual artists, art organizations, and community groups answered the call and 25 unique rocking works of art have been created.

The Art Rocks in Rockingham County Festival will be hosted by motivational speaker Canisha Cierra Turner.

Ms. Turner owns her own business, Executive Reign, where she trains clients from the tender

age of 2 until 102 to SHINE BRIGHT by "commanding the microphone and conquering the crown!" Canisha Turner is the true definition of extraordinary.

She has been on stage since the age of 2 and enjoys motivational speaking and all things media and entertainment. She is a 14year pageant veteran, having competed in natural, semi-glitz, and scholarship pageants. She has competed on all levels: local, state, national, and international.

The musical guest for the festival is the local band, Whiskey Foxtrot. Whiskey Foxtrot is the moniker of the musical duo of Seth Williams and Sam Foster and their band formed in the summer of 2017. Seth and Sam have been playing around NC/VA as a duo and as a full band. The full band includes: Seth Williams on Vocals/Guitar; Sam Foster on Vocals/Guitar; Terry VunCannon on Lap Steel Guitar and Steven Worley on Drums. Their music is a combination of country, blues, and rock 'n roll.

Also performing at the festival will be the Theatre Guild of Rockingham County. TGRC will give the audience a sneak peek of their upcoming production of Beauty and the Beast by performing a couple of songs from the show.

Along with planning the festival, the Art Rocks committee has been selling raffle tickets for the past several months for a special chair painted in honor of the winning football history of Reidsville High School. Raffle tickets for the “Ram Pride” chair will continue to be sold at the festival until the winning ticket is drawn by none other than Reidsville High School football coach, Coach Teague himself. A portion of the proceeds from the

raffle will go to the Reidsville High School football program.

Other highlights of the festival include food trucks from the Downtown Doghouse and Tropical G, beer provided by Pig Pounder, and wine available for purchase. The festival coincides with Reidsville’s May Cruise-In, so there will be a big party in downtown Reidsville on May 11th.

The finale of the festival will be a lively art auction of the 25 rocking chairs. Many of these chairs have been seen all around the county in a “tour of chairs” and the response has been very positive, so the auction promises to be a lot of fun. Auction services will be provided by John Evans of Manitou Auction.

The Art Rocks Committee would like to thank our Journeyman sponsor for the festival: Annie Penn Hospital.

Other local sponsors include the Men’s and Women’s Fellowship of Leaksville Moravian Church of Eden.

Join us for a fun night, support a good cause, and bid on unique rocking works of art on May 11th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Market Square in Reidsville.

Reported Road Rage Resulting in Shots Fired into Vehicle Date of Release: Wednesday, April 18, 2018 On Tuesday April 17, 2018 at around 4:30 p.m., Rockingham County Sheriff's Deputies received a call of a reported shooting into an occupied vehicle on US158 West near Swallow Rd. in Reidsville. Upon their arrival, Deputies spoke with Tony Ray Chapmon, 53, of 215 Pennington Rd. Reidsville, N.C..

Mr. Chapmon told Deputies that he had been traveling down US158 West near Strider Mountain Rd. in Reidsville in his 1990 Red in color Nissan truck and passed a White in color 2-door Honda Civic with a stuffed animal in the back glass. Mr. Chapmon stated that after passing the Civic and returning to his lane of travel, the driver of the Civic shot at him, striking his tire and the back windshield of his vehicle. The projectile that struck the back glass of the truck grazed the top of Mr. Chapmon's head before exiting out the front windshield. Mr. Chapmon then sped away before stopping at US158 West at Swallow Rd. where a passerby stopped to check on him and reported the incident.

The driver of the White Honda Civic was described by Mr. Chapmon as a Caucasian male with dark hair. The suspect vehicle turned off on an unknown road prior to Mr. Chapmon stopping at US158 West at Swallow Rd. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Rcokingham County Sheriff's Office at 336-634-3232 or Rockingham County Crime Stoppers at 336-349-9683.

ADTS celebrating 45th Anniversary Aging, Disability & Transit Services is pleased to announce it is celebrating 45 years of service in Rockingham County.

ADTS’ services are primarily driven by community need and sustained through community support; as such, we invite the community to share in our celebration as we commemorate this milestone with public education and promotional events throughout the next twelve months.

In 1973, ADTS, then known as the Council on Aging, was formed to assist older adults with accessing information and community resources. Today, ADTS employs nearly 300 staff countywide and provides services to more than 17,000 people annually. While ADTS services have expanded over time, the fundamental purpose has remained the same: to promote the independence and dignity of older adults and help people remain healthy, secure and involved at home and

Relay for Life returns Relay For Life is a grass roots, community-based team event. Join family and friends on Friday, May 18th, 2018 at Rockingham High School, 180 High School Rd., Reidsville, NC for this years Relay For Life event.

Opening Ceremony (6pm) Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who's been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year's Relay season.

Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. At 6:15pm we honor their strength and courage with every step they take with the Survivor/Caregiver Walk .

It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.

Luminaria Ceremony (9pm) During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.

At 11:45pm the closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It's a time to celebrate what we've accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.

For more information contact Sandra Meadows at sandra.meadows@cancer.org or call (276) 806-5488 or view Online Help.

With a rapidly expanding population of older adults, the demand for services that support independence in the community is greater now than ever before.

Our 45th anniversary provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on past accomplishments as well as look to the future, identifying new and innovative ways to better serve our community. ” ADTS is a private nonprofit agency dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals

Roaming Around Reidsville

By Angela G. Stadler Public Information Officer City of Reidsville

Parks and recreation in cities has sometimes had a “tough row to hoe.” (For younger readers, that means it can be a large undertaking that is especially difficult.) Why do I say that? Cities provide a variety of much needed services such as water and sewer and trash pickup. They do Code Enforcement and protect their citizens with a police and fire department presence. While many municipalities offer parks and recreation, it is often considered a “nice to have” and is one of the first things to get cut when city budgets are tight.

Yet Reidsville officials have always recognized the importance of parks and recreation in our citizens’ lives. Providing recreational opportunities is a “quality of life” issue for those who live here. What would a City be if it didn’t have neighborhood parks, trails and ball fields in which kids and adults alike can roam and play?

The City of Reidsville is especially lucky to have Lake Reidsville and Lake Hunt. While Lake Reidsville is a City water supply, it is so much more.

Opened to the public in 1983, Lake Reidsville is the only municipally owned facility of its kind in Rockingham County.

This 750-acre lake and park includes campsites, a quality disc golf course, walking/cycling trails, an amphitheater, basketball courts, picnic shelters and a regulation soccer field. We often refer to it as Rockingham County’s little known gem.

And Lake Reidsville is about to get even better! The Murray Family has graciously

donated approximately 40 acres of land adjacent to the lake to the City of Reidsville. This generous contribution opens up a lot of additional recreational properties at the lake. Potential recreational uses include additional trails and camping or, perhaps, something “outside the box.”

The City of Reidsville is

of which was written about this land. All this is really helping us understand the beauty and family memory of this property. It's a special place."

Two public comment sessions have already been held to create a working master park plan. The lastest was held April 12 at the grand opening of the

Reidsville Chamber President Diane Sawyer speaks to the crowd gathered for the opening of the Lake Reidsville Trails. A final meeting on a Master Plan for the recently donated Murray property is scheduled for Tuesday, May 15 currently in a land use planning process to determine how the property can best be developed and managed for public use. Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) is assisting the City as part of the Pathways 2.0 Initiative, which is made possible by the Reidsville Area Foundation and DRBA’s municipal members. The Initiative helps to develop outdoor recreation across Rockingham County.

"It's such an honor to be part of this process," says Jenny Edwards, Program Manager, Dan River Basin Association.

"The Murray family has been involved in community meetings from the beginning and provided us with a copy of Margaret Murray's book of poetry, some

Appliance Repair and Service Appliances, washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, water heaters, ceiling fans, lock changes, faucets, toilets, heating, air conditioning and more!

Lake Reidsville Trails. If you are interested in having a say about the potential uses of this 40-acre piece of property, you still have another opportunity at the final draft review meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 15, 2018. That meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. at the Reidsville Parks & Recreation Center located at 201 N. Washington Avenue.

If you can’t make the meeting, here is a link to the survey that is being done by DBRA and City of Reidsville Parks & Recreation: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MurryPoint So far, officials have been pleased with the response from the public and feedback on the possible uses of the property.

“Residents and visitors are excited about the new land donation next to the Lake Reidsville Park,” noted Frederick Thompson, Parks & Recreation Superintendent for the City of Reidsville. “They see a great potential to expand the hiking/mountain bike trail and to add several other additional outdoor recreation amenities, confirming that Reidsville is a great place to live.”

The addition of the Murray property to Lake Reidsville is only the beginning of the City of Reidsville’s recreational plans.

As I noted earlier, the Reidsville City Council is committed to not only supplying its residents with the everyday services that a City provides but also enhancing the quality of life for our citizens.

But I don’t want to give it all away! There will be more in the coming months, most likely highlighted here in Eden’s Own Journal, about the City’s future plans for recreation.

Cone earns Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Designation For the fifth year, all six Cone Health's hospitals earned the “Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality” designation from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC).

HRC is the educational arm of the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights organization. The Cone Health hospitals are Alamance Regional Medical Center, Annie Penn Hospital, Cone Health Behavioral Health Hospital, Moses Cone Hospital, Wesley Long Hospital and Women's Hospital.

“We are proud to be recognized again this year,” says Laura Vail, director, Cone Health Office of Inclusion and Health Equity. “Cone Health’s LGBT Employee Network Group works tirelessly to better serve our patients, staff and communities. By embracing and respecting others as we deliver exceptional care, we can truly live our brand promise: We are right here with you.”

The Cone Health LGBT Employee Network Group takes part in community events such as Pride in Alamance County and Greensboro, where members

administered 100 flu shots in 2017. Members of the group also work in policy review and revision to ensure inclusive care at Cone Health.

A record 626 hospitals took part in the 2018 HRC survey.

HRC leader status is based on four core criteria: • Elements of LGBTQ patient-centered care • LGBTQ patient services and support • Employee benefits and policies • LGBTQ patient and community engagement In the 2018 report, an impressive 418 facilities earned HRC’s “LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader” designation with a score of 100. “With some of our biggest battles still ahead of us, it is crucial that institutions continue to demonstrate that the march toward full equality is not slowing down,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “The 626 participants in this year’s HEI continue this march in partnership with the LGBTQ community and we commend them for their leadership.”

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

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

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

Madison / Mayodan / Stoneville Southern Finishing Plans Expansion in Rockingham County The Town of Stoneville and the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business & Tourism are pleased to announce that Southern Finishing Company, Inc. plans to expand its local operation. The company will create 54 new jobs and invest $1.48 million in building upfit and new machinery and equipment in Stoneville. This expansion will take place over the next five years, in two separate phases.

As a supplier to the furniture industry, Southern Finishing has been operating in Rockingham County for 40 years. The company manufactures furniture and cabinet components, such as prefinished mouldings, accessories, panels,

doors, kitchen and bath cabinet components, and bedrails. It partners with manufacturers such as American Woodmark, Marsh Furniture, Armstrong Cabinets, Quality Cabinets and Thomasville Furniture.

Southern Finishing has its headquarters and four manufacturing facilities in Stoneville. It currently has 161 employees in Rockingham County in addition to over 350 employees in its other locations in Virginia and Arizona.

“The Town of Stoneville is excited to see Southern Finishing’s growth. The company has been an excellent corporate citizen since 1978 and we are pleased that they have chosen to continue their success

here,” said Kenneth Gamble, manager of the Town of Stoneville.

“I am excited to announce the expansion of one of our existing industries, Southern Finishing. This comes on the heels of the expansion announced last week with Albaad and it is further proof that our focus on business growth and retention is paying off. Southern Finishing has been a valuable employer and community supporter for 40 years now. We appreciate the company’s dedication to Stoneville and Rockingham County,” said Jan Critz-Yokeley, director of the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business & Tourism.

Hayseed Magnolia blooms under pressure Hayseed Magnolia brings fashion and inspiration to Downtown Mayodan with owner Deanna Shelton. The beautiful store front of 102 South 2nd Ave, has come to life with vibrant colors and touches of creativity that flow with the already artistic downtown shopping strip. The store is full of beautiful clothes and accessories for a fraction of the cost of major retailers with an atmosphere of hand painted art to take in while you shop. It is an ideal place to pick up that special gift you have been thinking about for Mothers Day! Deanna started out selling leggings out of Rocky Mount when her sales picked up and eventually she opened the doors to Hayseed Magnolia in September 2017 and opened the store to vendors. Amy Stone, Owner of On Fleek Brow Boutique moved in and they welcome new vendors who may not be able to afford the big rent of opening a store but are interested in selling products from a fantastic location. Together, with a more variety of vendors Magnolia Hayseed is going to “BLOOM!” Deanna is an inspiration to so many not only because of her drive for success

but because of her ability to overcome. It may not be known to all but in June 2017 she began her day as normal with a few laps at McMichael for cardio workout with her husband and she had a horrific experience.

She found herself not able to breathe or speak or even yell for help. Her husband finally found her struggling to take a breath.

That was the day she decided to go to the doctor for a check-up.

Bloodwork proved she was extremely anemic and the doctors didn’t know how she was even functioning while going to school, working and running her side business.

One month later Deanna was told she had full blown cervical cancer. Deanna still proceeded to open her store and through the midst of the storm faced a radical hysterectomy in November 2017. She was unable to lift, sweep or even decorate her shop as she liked. On January 15th 2017, Martin Luther King Day Deanna took her first round of Chemotherapy.

To her it was a sign to start treatments on such a day as this.

Deanna fully believed with her whole heart she would be set free from her cancer with these treatments, starting on MLK

Day! She endured 5 sickening weeks of chemo and linear radiation together. She could hardly get out of bed, let alone run her store. Thankfully she had Michelle Cardwell step up to the plate to help run the store when she could not keep the doors open herself. In February 2018, Deanna was back to work! On March 16th 2018 the Dr. said they felt comfortable saying Deanna was 100% CURED!!!!

Her last treatment was March 22nd 2018.

Deanna is now President of the Mayodan Merchants Association and she can be found in her store on many days painting her shop making it more beautiful than ever. Just meeting and speaking with her is a pleasure and an inspiration.

She teaches and is an advocate for early prevention and detection of cervical cancer and other health related issues. She even offers free classes at her shop on occasion for essential oils to help deal with some of life’s most common ailments! If you are interested in any classes she invites you to her shop which is open Wed & Thurs 10am - 3pm, Fri 10am-6pm, Sat 10am-3pm

New Meat source comes to Madison

Triad Meat Custom Processing has come to Madison NC with deals on freshly cut meat that you cannot get at any other stores like Walmart or Foodlion!

With their “pick 5 daily deals” you can choose 5 different packs of pork, chicken and steak that are not injected with preservatives like added salt, so this place not only has food that is easier on your wallet but healthier for your whole family.

Owner Darren Stevens has been in the meat business for many years performing a wide range of services including raising hogs and he even used to inspect places like the very one he owns and operates now in Madison.

He takes pride in knowing he is feeding family quality meat at prices they can afford. Triad Meat is a well-known name established in 1961.

The Greensboro location has any item you can imagine including crab legs, alligator, bison, fish, lamb, goat, and so much more.

Darren is now allowing customers to call the Greensboro location to send things over to the Madison store for pick up on request.

Our very own Sue from Eden’s Own Journal has sampled the pick 5 meats and was so impressed that Triad Meats has certainly earned a new customer.

She invites Rockingham County to eat better and give them a try.

The Greensboro location is at 3023 Randleman Rd., Greensboro. You can call to order any type of meat for pick up in Madison at 336-275-5671 or 336-274-6033 The Madison location is at 281 Sisk Mill Loop Madison, NC 27025 We Need Volunteers!

The Rockingham County Humane Society 205 Boone Road, Eden 336-623-4428

Unmet Needs Hotline set up Rockingham County has created an “Unmet Needs Hotline” for citizens to call in the event of needs that they feel have not been met by the county.

The number is 336-342-8229 Citizens who call the “Unmet Needs Hotline” will be prompted by a recording to leave a message and a county official who can give advice on the unmet needs will return the call.

Citizens can also call the United Way’s referral service at 2-1-1 or 888-892-1162 to talk a trained call specialist who can register storm related needs.

These lines are open 24 hours per day and seven days per week.

IF A TRUE EMERGENCY EXISTS, CITIZENS SHOULD DIAL 9-1-1.

The NC DOT will remove VEGETATIVE Debris for those affected by the tornado.VEGETATIVE is defined as things that NATURALLY grow.

Citizens should pile vegetative debris at the roadside in a manner that does not interfere with vehicular traffic.

NC DOT defines the roadside as a distance of thirty (30) feet from the centerline of the roadway or the area between the utility poles and shoulder of the roadway.

Citizens will have until Sunday, May 13, 2018 to pile their debris in the manner described above. Beginning Monday, May 14, 2018, NC DOT will begin the process of collecting the debris.

NC DOT may use private contractors to assist with the debris collection, so citizens may not see the traditional yellow trucks collecting debris.

Debris will only be picked • Caps • T-Shirts • Rain Gauges • Team Uniforms • Political Signs • Pencils • Pens

up from the state maintained roadways and NOT private roadways or private property. Those living on private roadways should have their debris piled at the state right-of–way as described above.

Debris piles that include construction debris (tin, shingles, windows, doors, drywall, plastic, glass, etc) WILL NOT be picked up.

Citizens in the areas affected by the tornado (Williamsburg or Ruffin Townships) can deposit debris at the county landfill at no charge. You will be asked to verify that your address is located in areas affected by the tornado.

Please follow the instructions on sorting the debris as the landfill has to meet state regulations on the collection and proper processing of debris.

State and Federal Assessment Teams will continue to survey the damaged areas to determine if the county is eligible for State or Federal assistance. These members will be uniformed and will be operating clearly marked vehicles.

Schedules for these teams are uncertain as the county does not regulate the State and Federal schedules. Many volunteer groups remain in the county and are ready to assist where needed.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns citizens about contractors who seek down payments for work of which the contractors will perform at a later date. The BBB suggests obtaining three pricing (3) quotes to ensure fair pricing and never pay with cash. www.MyRockinghamCountyNC .com

For the Fun of it...

Bored Animals

The animals were bored. Finally, the lion had an idea. "I know a really exciting game that the humans play called football. I've seen it on T.V." He proceeded to describe it to the rest of the animals and they all got excited about it so they decided to play. They went out to the field and chose up teams and were ready to begin. The lion's team received. They were able to get two first downs and then had to punt.

The mule punted and the rhino was back deep for the kick. He caught the ball, lowered his head and charged. First, he crushed a roadrunner, then two rabbits. He gored a wildebeast, knocked over two cows, and broke through to daylight, scoring six. Unfortunately, they lacked a placekicker, and the score remained 6 - 0. Late in the first half the lion's team scored a touchdown and the mule kicked the extra point. The lion's team led at halftime 7 - 6. In the locker room, the lion gave a peptalk. "Look you guys. We can win this game. We've got the lead and they only have one real threat. We've got to keep the ball away from the rhino, he's a killer. Mule, when you kick off be sure to keep it away from the rhino." The second half began. Just as the mule was about to kick off, the rhino's team changed formation and the ball went directly to the rhino. Once again, the rhino lowered his head and was off running. First, he stomped two gazelles. He skewered a zebra, and bulldozed an elephant out of the way. It looked like he was home free.

Suddenly at the twenty yard line, he dropped over dead. There were no other animals in sight anywhere near him. The lion went over to see what had happened. Right next to the dead rhino he saw a small centipede. "Did you do this?" he asked the centipede. "Yeah, I did." the centipede replied. The lion retorted, "Where were you during the first half?" "I was putting on my shoes." source: www.jokes4us.com/animaljokes/animalfootballjokes.html

Wildlife Reserve dedicated in Rockingham County On April 19th with the snip of a ribbon the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and the Piedmont Land Conservancy (PLC) dedicated the new Dan River Game Land. The ceremony was held at 1625 Riverside Circle in Eden, featured remarks by representatives from the Commission, the Conservancy, the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund and other distinguished officials.

The PLC has transferred 1,068 acres in Rockingham County to the Commission to help create the Dan River Game Land.

The acreage will adjoin an additional 660 acres acquired by the Commission in 2017. The new game land will provide the Triad area with public access to fishing and hunting opportunities.

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) wrote “This is not only an important conserva-

tion project, it is also a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts, I commend the Piedmont Land Conservancy and the Commission for conserving these game lands so that hunters, fisherman and the public can experience many of the abundant natural resources that Rockingham County has to offer.

“In the nine counties where PLC works, there are very few 1,500-plus acre singularly-owned parcels left,” says PLC executive director Kevin Redding. “To see this tract protected, with its miles of Dan River frontage and abundance of wildlife, is one of the most significant achievements in our history.”

He continued, “This is a tremendous asset for tourism and for bringing people to Rockingham County.” noting the abundant hunting, fishing, hiking, birding, nature photography and recreation opportunities on the river.

Starting out as the 2000 acre Galloway farm back in the early 1900’s, and coming into the hands of Grayson Whitt’s ancestors which later passed down to him, the property has a facinating history which includes the former consideration of the land to be a landfill, a State Prison and an Industrial park.

The 1,068 acre acquisition that completes this Game Land was funded by a $2.6 million grant provided by the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund.

The original 660 acres that were acquired in 2017 were done so with $1,000,000 from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wildlife

Grayson Whitt and Sport Fish Restoration Funds and a $586,000 grant obtained by the PLC. Walter Clark of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund thanked the state legislature for the 2.6 million provding gthe ability to purchase this property.

He noted the state now has 10.3 million people and is the 10th fasting growing state in country with an average of 196 people per square mile. “For all these people we need to protect the quality of life, invest in parks, gameland, greenways and community projects.” Going on to say that in these modern times people choose now go to where the quality of life is and find work instead of find work and go to that location.

Greer Haywood, Trustee Chair of Clean water Management Trust Fund said she was grateful for the board and the work done here and how the Piedmont Land Conservancy worked hard to protect this property.

Thomas Berry, President Pro Tem of N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission noted the abundance of quail, turkey and deer on the land. With the addition of a boat ramp in the future, fishing will be enjoyed here, even from the banks of the 4 miles stretch of river on the property. He added, Rockingham County is the Breadbasket of deer hunting in the state of North Carolina. There are a lot of people who come from all over

“We appreciate the chance to partner with the Conservancy to manage and conserve this unique property for the benefit of the citizens of Rockingham and surrounding counties,” said Chris Jordan, the Commission’s game lands and forest resources manager.

County Commissioner, Kevin Berger thanked the Clearwater Group, Adam and Phil Honeycutt for their work on the project.

“So much is learned outside the classroom, in the woods and on the river with your parent or grandparents. Now we have a public place for people to come and create those memories,” Berger said, “this is an economic draw to the county.

Children will get a lifetime of learning opportunities.”

Brian McRae, Land and Water Access Section Chief said this aquisition put us over 500,000 acre mark in the state.

The 7 miles to Leaksville access area will make a great day trip on kayak or canoe for recreation or fishing big mouth bass, catfish, sun fish.

McRae also noted there are plans on the horizon for habitat needs and increasing hedge habitats, perscribed fires, and timber management where appropriate. “We hope to engage our hunters, getting their input to help manage this area.”

Local Geneology Studies By Elvin Perkins, Jr.

Leaf Removal Lawn Treatments Mowing Mulching Pine Needles Seeding Hedging Fertilizing

“The French (Huguenot) Connection” On Sunday, April 8, the Genealogical Society of Rockingham and Stokes Counties met at the Madison Library for their quarterly meeting and had a wonderful presentation on French Huguenot history and the migration of French settlers to the American colonies.

Though we may not have thought much on the subject many of us no doubt have French ancestors within our family tree. Perhaps we have missed exploring for our possible French ancestors because many who came to America Anglicized their name to sound English.

The program reminded me of an article written several years ago for the one of the genealogical society journals. The article written by society member Joy Gann Brown gives insight into the history of the French Huguenots and French names.

Presented here is Joy’s wonderful article.

If you were to scan through any phone book for the nearby regions of Virginia and North Carolina, you would find many names that do not appear to be Ulster Scot, English, or German, the three main groups who populated our piedmont plateau.

Where did those names come from? How can we account for such wondrous-sounding names as Fuqua, Bondurant, LeSuer, Michaux, Foy, Seay, Chastain, Basset and Jordan? Is it possible that we have a “French Connection” here?

The century and a half following 1517, the year in which Martin Luther posted his famous ninety-five theses on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, was a period of turmoil for most of Western Europe.

The Protestant Reformation, really a revolution which Luther is sometimes mistakenly said to have fermented, involved excesses on the part of both the Catholic Church and their opponents. In France, the Protestants quickly gained a large following, and significantly, many of the French adherents came from the upper classes of society which resulted in their having more power and influence than was normally the case among Protestants. This being true, the French Protestants, called Huguenots (the origin of the name is unknown), were able to secure recognition of their rights not usually found in their neighboring Catholic states. In 1598, Henry of Navarre who had come to the French throne in 1589 as Henry III, issued a charter, called the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots freedom of worship as well as certain legal safeguards. With this aegis, the Huguenots were able to thrive for 87 years. Then came the ambitious Sun King, Louis XIV, who had no tolerance for the Protestant cause, or any other that was not his own. Louis repealed the Edict in 1685, which ultimately resulted in one

of history’s greatest mass migrations. Perhaps as many as 400,000 people left France.

Some went to South Africa, some to Holland, but the greatest number went to Germany and England. A considerable number eventually found their way to the American colonies.

Charleston, South Carolina, and New Rochelle, New York, are two of the places widely recognized for their large number of Huguenot settlers. It is not so well known, however, that there was an important Huguenot colony planted in Virginia, just up the James River from Richmond. And that Colonel William Byrd, the same man who was to later own 20,000 acres of land in the Dan River Valley, was instrumental in that plantation. A tract along the eastern North Carolina/Virginia border, which included the Great Dismal Swamp, was the original destination of these Huguenot refugees. However, Colonel Byrd was able to convince Francis Nicholson, the Governor of Virginia, that the selected tract was unhealthy, and that an abandoned Indian town up the James River, Manakintowne, which adjoined land owned by Byrd, was preferable. At least two other factors affected Nicholson’s decision to change the settlement location: the wish to keep these highly-prized refugees for Virginia alone; and, the feeling that such a settlement would provide a buffer to protect downriver and coastal settlers from Indian attack.

Throughout the year 1700, a total of 600 Huguenots in five separate ships left England bound for Virginia.

Unfortunately, by the time the third ship arrived in the New World, serious problems had developed in Manakintowne.

Necessities were scarce and the immigrants, weakened by long, hazardous voyages, and disheartened by a feeling that the native colonists had manipulated them, quickly lost heart.

Consequently, almost all of the arrivals after the first two shiploads sought to situate themselves away from Manakintowne with many choosing the locale of the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. While relatively little information is available about the disposition of the passengers on any of the final three ships, it is known that the fourth ship, The Nassau, carrying 191 passengers, docked first in New York, possibly disembarking some passengers there before it is thought to have proceeded on to Virginia.

In the year 1700, King William III, of England, granted to the constituents of Manakintowne, then the largest French settlement in America, just over 10,000 acres of land.

The Huguenot’s initial dissatisfaction with Manakintowne did not abate, however, and gradually, many of the new arrivals, like

so many of their fellow new world immigrants, began to venture forth in the great search for more and better. With the preferred land in the eastern parts of both Virginia and North Carolina already taken, and with west ward migration in Virginia effectively blocked by the mountains, the Huguenots naturally tended to gravitate towards the southwest with many eventually choosing to settle in the counties along the North Carolina/Virginia border, hence, our “French Connection.”

As you would expect, many French names have changed form over time, so that we have, for example, Michaux becoming Mishoe, Saye becoming Seay, Martain becoming Martin, Olivier becoming Oliver, and Deneille becoming Daniel.

Though I cannot vouch for them, I have been told that the names Barrett, Peay, Pruitt, Petty, and Priddy are French, as is Amos, originally spelled Amis. A French root should be considered for almost any name that begins with “De” or “Du,” which would include, of course, DeShazio, Dehart, DeLancy, DeMoss, DePriest, Devine, DuBois, Dumas, and DuPree.

If you want to know more about the Virginia Huguenots, you might like to read Huguenot Emigration to Virginia and to the Settlement at Manakin-Town (R.A. Brock, Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1962) and Turff & Twigg, The French Lands (Priscilla H. Cabell, published privately 1988). Both of these books can be found in Davis Library at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

If they are not in your library, try an interlibrary loan.

Individual pieces of equipment were also shown as well as the proper use of each.

On April 6th the Eden Fire Department in conjunction with Baptist Air Care set up a landing zone for the helicopter to land in the football stadium at Morehead High School. This demonstration was conducted for the EMT program taught at the high school.

the flight nurses. The students could ask the firefighters and the flight crew questions about landing a helicopter on an emergency scene and other questions of interest.

Information Technologies Dept.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) If you’re worried about your financial accounts or social media sites getting hacked, the best thing you can to do protect yourself is turn on two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-factor identification, is an additional layer of protection beyond your password. It significantly decreases the risk of a hacker accessing your online accounts by combining your password (something you know) with a second factor, like your mobile phone (something you have). Even if a hacker has your username and password, they still would not be able to access your accounts. Many of the world’s largest websites have made 2FA readily available from the security settings of your online accounts, but it’s up to you to turn on this free feature.

How you access and turn on 2FA is different for every site or service you use. Telesign has put together a website with tutorials on how to turn on 2FA for specific applications, online services, and social media. https://www.turnon2fa.com/

MAY 2018 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 35 H Continued from previous page tions and 2 orders were mailed for violation of the Minimum Housing Code. In addition, we will follow-up on all violations that have expired deadlines. In addition, five jobs were sent to our Facility & Grounds Division for abatement of junk and sight obstruction violations.

Blight and Local Code Enforcement Impacts In Eden’s Positively Eden Strategic Plan, there is a strong emphasis on local code enforcement. Several efforts are underway to improve our program and the proposed 2018-2019 budget reflects increased spending for the current year. Along with that, we have been doing research into possible avenues to improve our ordinances or approach to local code enforcement.

Director of Planning & Inspections Kelly Stultz has been reading two publications recently on the subject. The first is “Vacant Properties the True Costs to Communities” and “Implementing A Coordinated Approach to Address the Systemic Causes of Vacancy and Abandonment in High Point North Carolina”. These publica-

tions offer suggestions of a way that through GIS data and an interdepartmental committee, we might be able to identify the worst of the worst and track endangered properties. She plans to share more about these ideas in the coming months.

Ashton Way Apartments Work in underway on the Ashton Way Apartments being constructed by Wynnefield Development on East Harris Place.

REMINDER - City No Longer Picks-Up Used Car Tires The City of Eden will no longer pick up used car tires, residents must take them to the Rockingham County Landfill for disposal. This is due to a recommendation the City received from the Department of Environmental Quality and a City ordinance change that was approved by the City Council on April 18, 2017. The Landfill will accept the tires at no cost, unless it has a wheel on it, and in that event, they will charge $0.50 to remove the wheel.

School is Cool!

Chandra Caple, Director of Educational Partnerships sharing information about the Career and College Promise Program at RCC.

Non-Public Schools Community College Day On March 17th Rockingham Community College (RCC) held a Community College Day for Non-Public High Schools. This was a special event for North Carolinians for Home Education, homeschoolers located in Rockingham County. This was an opportunity for homeschoolers and the homeschooling parents to learn about the educational opportunities available at the college.

Eden Citizens Praying For Our Schools & Children Families gathered at Central & Drarper Elementary’s flag pole in April to pray for God to come back into our schools and country.

RCC’s Paying it Forward Mentoring Program meets A group of thirty gathered on March 23 in the Advanced Technologies Building on the Rockingham Community College Campus to network as part of the Paying It Forward Mentoring Program offered by the college.

“The goal of Paying It Forward is to provide an opportunity for students to talk with each other and with mentors as they grow academically and in life,” said RCC’s Director of Customized Training Sally Newman who serves as coordinator for the program.

“My goal for our students is to give them the tools and experiences they need to empower one another and be successful.”

As part of the mentoring program students have visited several university campuses including NC Central University and NC A&T University. They have attended conferences at Elon University and toured the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum located in Sedalia, NC. Currently the students have been working with their mentors to develop their personal DiSC profile. This assessment helps students learn to manage conflict, facilitate teamwork, improve relationships all in order to become more self-aware, wellrounded, and more effective leaders.

“RCC has changed me so much that I know when I graduate on May 11, I know I am going to be successful for the rest of my life,” said Deidre Thomas-Whisonant, RCC student and Paying It Forward participant. “After I graduate, I want to continue to be part of this program.”

Paying It Forward is designed to provide mentors to student mentees. Mentors support and encourage students to manage their own learning experience in order to maximize their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance, and become the person they want to be.

Collaboration Tour held for School Safety between Eden Police Department and Rockingham County Schools

Eden officers collaborating with RCS district administration and Central Elementary principal, Elizabeth Covell

Collaboration on school safety between Eden Officers, RCS district administration and Douglass Elementary principal, Dr. Nancy Mark.

School safety and security is always a top priority for Rockingham County Schools and the Eden Police Department.

Today, Chief Light, Deputy Chief of Police Simpson, Captain Edwards, and Eden Police Department officers, and the RCS District Crisis Team toured the Eden schools to have safety discussions with staff members and principals. The Eden Police Department and the school system district crisis team work hard to ensure school safety and security is a top priority.

Each of the schools in Eden were visited.

Each administrator was able to meet individually with the district crisis staff and Eden Police Department to discuss school safety. The goal of the safety walkthrough was to have each school in Eden visited by Eden officers to have them consult about areas for lockdown advice and to consult about any

safety/security plans. Karen Hyler and Stephanie Ellis (District Crisis Team Leaders) joined the team of law enforcement officers for the entire day.

“It was a great day of collaboration around the very important topic of school safety.

The Eden Police Department cares about our community and our students. We were able to have great discussions to ensure safety and security in our schools” stated Chief Light.

Stephanie Ellis and Karen Hyler stated, “We appreciate all our schools do to maintain the safety and security of our precious students each and every day. This is a top priority for our school district. We also appreciate the collaboration with Eden Police Department. They always work very hard to support us in our efforts of school safety.”
