Letter to the Editor and Friends of Downtown Reidsville, Even though it misted all day, the Reidsville Downtown Homegrown Festival was a success!. It was the great attitude of our downtown merchants, volunteers and city staff that made it all worthwhile. Attendance Friday and Saturday was estimated at 20,000. It was amazing to me that vendors hugged my neck, thanked me for the festival and said they would see us next year. Most even asking for their same spot again next year. The streets were packed early on and spectators stayed in the mist and shopped late into the day. We were all thankful that we did not get washed away as last year! We will still strive for that sunshine all day in 2014! The committees that planned the festival have worked since January advertising, planning and executing. 170 spaces were sold to vendors, however we had 9 that did not show up. The information booth received surveys from people who travelled across the state of NC and surrounding states. Attendees came from FL, TN, NJ, NY, SC, and GA just to name a few. The EZ Cruisers Car Club car show was great. We had new kinds of foods, vendors and sponsors!
The Elect Jay Donnecker Committee raised over $1100 for the Reidsville Soup Kitchen at their booth! Thank you Reidsville and thank you Jay! We would like to especially thank our sponsors: Cone Health; Rockingham County Tourism & Development Authority; Commonwealth Brands; MillerCoors; Home Savings Bank; WGSR-47; Lowes Home Improvement; Keystone Foods; Amcor; News & Record; ScreenPrint Plus; Duke Energy; Reidsville Review; A. Nichols Jewelry; Pelham Transportation; First Piedmont Corporation and Our State Magazine. Thank you to everyone who helped make the Reidsville Homegrown Festival a success.
Letter to the Editor and county citizens
WE give away food every Monday between 8am and 11am, and our clients can return every 2 weeks. We purchase food from Second Harvest Food Bank in Winston-Salem, NC at minimum cost. We pick up food daily from the Food-Lion stores in Mayodan and Meadow Road location in Eden. This food has not gone ba, and we get it an no cost. Local Farmers also deliver in-season fruits and vegetables, and sometimes eggs as well, all at no cost. The Government cuts to food programs have lowered the amount of food we can purchase from Second Harvest. Though we have no employee expenses, we have the usual monthly overhead costs of rent, lights, water, heat/air, insurances, plus we maintain 3 registered vehicles. Our normal monthly overhead costs run approximately $5,000, and presently our funds are lower than ever. Therefore presently, we simply cannot add the cost of another food suppliers to our budget, for we still operate solely on donations. Without your support, we will be forced to close our doors soon, being totally unable to serve our clients’ needs. Therefore again, we must call on the community to help us. Please consider making a donation that will change the lives of those in need in our community. Your support will mean the world to so many. Andrew Collins, Jr., President and Nelson Hairston, Vice President

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life
NOVEMBER 2013 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 3 ¶ Eden’s Women’s League Members pause for a pose
Women’s League of Eden works hard to support the community Everyone knows that when women put their heads together and their hands to work, that a lot can get accomplished. Locally the Women’s League of Eden has worked to support the community since 1982 and is still going strong. President Joyce Spear says, “I really enjoy working with women in Eden to help better our community and develop leadership of our members.” The objective of the NC Federation of Women’s Clubs is to unite the Women’s Clubs of North Carolina into a statewide charitable organization for the promotion of education and activities in civic, cultural, educational and social welfare for the betterment of our communities. Women of all ages who are held in high esteem in their community may belong, emphasizing quality in membership. The NC Federation of Women’s Clubs was organized in 1902 at Salem College in Winston Salem. With a modest beginning of seven clubs, they have now grown to about 150 clubs with over 4,000 members. By Oct. 1902, at the first convention in Winston Salem seventeen clubs had affiliated, in 1903 there were twenty clubs with a membership of 400. It was then the members decided to join the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, founded in 1889, whose motto is “The Union of All for the Good of All”. Members are proud to have the state monument at Salem College for the clubs 100-year memorial. Locally the Women’s League of Eden focuses on community service programs including arts, conservation, education, as well as home life, international and public issues. With 39 members at present, they hope to grow in the future and offer more help to the community. The group pulls together to give to several causes and chari-
ties throughout the year. At Christmas they adopt several Salvation Army Angels, as well donate to the Empty Stocking Fund of the YMCA, Christmas Stockings in the schools; and when they are supplied with the names of community family members serving in the military, Christmas cards are sent to these brave men and women to show them we care and thank them for serving our country. Long time member Libby Maddrey notes, “I enjoy the work because I know we make a difference in the lives of people and I have met such unselfish people.” In Education, the focus is presently on Local Art contests for schools, GVWC-NC Teaching Scholarship, Sallie Southall Scholarship, Rockingham County Literacy Project, and work to support the school libraries in Eden's elementary schools." Other donations from the club include: Relay for Life, MS Walk, Rolling Ridge Riding Stables, Help, Inc., Sallie Southall Cotton Scholarship (State & District), Cooperative Christian Ministries, Heifer Project – Vaccines in Zambia, Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, Camp Carefree and Caregivers. Local projects in the past included the placement of a flagpole and plaque to the Eden Chamber of Commerce on Van Buren Rd., and the donation of the statue of a boy reading a book at the Eden Library for the club’s 25th anniversary. Fundraisers help with the money to donate to these worthy causes. This season you can enjoy the well-known Gourmet Caramel Apple Sale which features delicious apples in a variety of styles, dipped in homemade caramel, dark and white chocolate and dipped in nuts apples. These are lovingly made by the members of the Women’s League of Eden and sold as a fundraiser
to help pay for all their community work. These apples are so large and decorative; they can be sliced open into 8 slices and used as an appetizer, dessert or centerpiece to your holiday tables. To reserve your order of these tantalizing treats, call Jennifer Boyte at 336623-9689. There will be two events, November 21 & 22 and December 12 & 13. Call early to reserve your treat! This and every Fall they have a variety of nuts delivered for sale before Thanksgiving. You can place your order for these by November 7th. These include pecans, walnuts, mixed nuts, dried fruits, candies and chocolate items. In the Spring look for a similar fundraiser for the “Easter Eggstravagana”. Past Secretary Earlene Hudson said, “It has been a wonderful experience to meet other women in our community, share our ideas, and work on various projects to benefit our community.” Women’s League of Eden likes to keep it fresh, and meet at different places each month. Members are contacted as to where to meet before each meeting. Contact the club for membership details or project information by calling Joyce Spear at 336-623-6918.

Redeeming Africa asks for your help Redeeming Africa is a ministry designed to meet the needs in rural Africa by combining the resources of God’s people. Right now we are focused on purchasing a 4-wheel drive vehicle for a small village in Eastern Kenya
called Lutuni. There is presently no vehicle in this area at all. A well was recently dug in Lutuni and people from several surrounding villages are coming there to get fresh water since it is a very scarce in this arid land.
The local pastor, Joseph Ngulutu, has used this blessing of freshwater to deliver the good news of Jesus Christ to the people from other villages. Unfortunately, the distance between the villages is so great that progress is painfully slow. The purchase of a vehicle would allow the transport of water and other humanitarian aid along with the Gospel to all the nearby villages. A used 4-wheel drive vehicle with right side steering has been located in Japan and can be delivered to Lutuni for a total cost of $24,000. Joseph’s brother Gabriel Ngulutu says “Acquiring a missions vehicle will make it easier to transport community people to the nearest medical clinic 20 miles away. Ngulutu adds, “There are no paved roads in the villages hence the need for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The vehicle has to be a righthand drive and preferably a Toyota 4Runner. The spare parts for Toyota cars are more readily available in Kenya.” The plan is to build a medical clinic when funds become available but in the meantime, a vehicle will be a great blessing as they continue to

serve the community needs in eastern Kenya. We are also planning a mission trip to this area during early July 2014. We plan to deliver basic medical supplies, shoes & clothing and to provide vacation bible schools for the children. We will hold nightly revivals to praise God for His faithfulness. We also need to have at least 2 medical professionals for this trip.

State is ready to fight the Flu. After an early and particularly devastating 2012-2013 flu season that claimed the lives of 59 North Carolinians, the State has already distributed more than 200,000 doses of the flu vaccine to health departments and providers across the state in preparation for the anticipated flu season. Seasonal flu is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, causing on average more than 41,000 deaths and 200,000 flu-related hospitalizations each year. For the third year in a row, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising everyone older than six months of age receive the seasonal flu vaccination, which will provide protection against H1N1, H3N2, and an influenza B strain. “Influenza can spread quickly, affecting anyone in its path who is not immunized,” said Ross Simpson, Jr., MD, PhD, MPH, CCME medical director. “Getting the flu vaccination is the one of the best protections against the deadly virus, and it can help prevent bacterial pneumonia.” According to the American Lung Association, nearly half of all pneumonia cases are caused by viruses that affect a person’s

respiratory system; influenza being among the most common. The symptoms of flu and pneumonia are similar so it can be difficult to detect the difference; however, with pneumonia, chills become more severe and fever temperatures can reach 105 degrees, whereas flu temperatures typically peak at 102 degrees. Flu symptoms may include: Fever Cough Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose Body aches Headache Chills Fatigue Diarrhea Vomiting In addition to pneumonia, flu virus complications can also lead to ear infections, sinus infections, and dehydration, and further harm individuals with preexisting conditions such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or
diabetes. Flu viruses can spread through the air by inhaling infected droplets produced through sneezes and coughs, and by touching your eyes, nose, or mouth after touching an infected surface. Besides the flu shot, health officials say the best forms of defense are to avoid contact with infected persons; stay home if you are infected; cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze; wash your hands frequently; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; and practice good health by getting adequate rest, nutrition, and exercise, which builds immunity. “The seasonal flu vaccination is a safe, effective, affordable, and accessible prevention option for the general public, but most importantly, it can help save lives,” said Melinda Postal, CCME director of communications. “CCME encourages everyone to get their flu vaccination sooner rather than later.” Flu shots typically cost less

than $30 and are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and certain health insurance plans. For more information about flu season and
the vaccination, visit www.cdc.gov/flu. To find a clinic or pharmacy in your local area, visit www.flu.nc.gov.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life
CenturyLink Service Areas May Qualify For Assistance Programs CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) is spreading the word about low-income assistance programs that help qualifying consumers obtain reduced-price voice and high-speed Internet services. CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program called Lifeline to make residential telephone service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Qualifying consumers are those who meet eligibility standards defined by the Federal Communications Commission and state public service and utilities commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized tribal lands may qualify for additional tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone line per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless telephone. For the purpose of the Lifeline program, a household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone service can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from the program. To find out more about the Lifeline program, please visit the government website at www.lifeline.gov. Individuals living in a CenturyLink service area should call 1-855-954-6546 or visit www.centurylink.com/lifeline to inquire about Lifeline eligibility. In addition to reduced-price phone service, CenturyLink offers discounted high-speed Internet service starting at $9.95 per month, plus applicable taxes and fees, to eligible consumers in markets where Internet service is available. The program, known as CenturyLink Internet Basics, uses the same income and program eligibility criteria as the Lifeline and Tribal Link-Up programs and provides access up to 1.5 Mbps downstream capability. Higher bandwidth services, where available, are offered at a comparable discount. A qualifying individual may enroll in this service plan once for a 12-month term, which may be extended on a month-to-month basis. CenturyLink is also offering program participants an Internetready netbook computer for $150, plus taxes, shipping and handling. In addition, CenturyLink is arranging basic computer education and technology training at no cost. The classes are being offered through community groups and senior centers, as well as schools, libraries, and other state and local institutions, in more than 100 markets throughout the country. For more information about the CenturyLink Internet Basics program, please visit http://www.centurylink.com/internetbasics or call 1-800-257-3212. Consumers can also visit CenturyLink at 405 East Dixie Drive, Asheboro, or call 336.625.1006 or 877.428.9290 to learn about CenturyLink Internet Basics and Lifeline.

When asked about receiving the Principal of the Year honor Nordan stated, “It is an honor to be named RCS Principal of the Year. The culture of any school is reflected in the behaviors, attitudes and beliefs of its individual members and groups. As school leaders seek to enable their faculties to meet the demands of increasing achievement for all students, we must not lose sight that creating moments for students are where successes are birthed. Acknowledge every moment with purpose and passion.” Nordan has served as principal of Holmes Middle School since 2010 and has over 23 years of experience in education. During her educational career, she has served as an elementary teacher, a middle grades teacher, a high school math teacher, a district high school math coach, instructional math coach at Reidsville High and an assistant principal at Reidsville High. Nordan earned a Bachelors in Applied Science degree in Family Studies from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, a Masters of Elementary Education from Elon Universityand an Administrative Endorsement from UNC-Chapel Hill. “I am continually impressed by Ms. Nordan’s leadership at Holmes Middle,” said Rockingham County Schools Superintendent Dr. Rodney Shotwell. “She exemplifies what
Vaccines For Adults!
Quick—do you know if you're up to date on your vaccines? Or, do you think of vaccines as just kids' stuff? Apparently lots of folks do, given that way too few adults receive the recommended vaccines. That puts them—and those who come into contact with them—at greater risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. Consider this: • In 2012, there were 42,000 cases of whooping cough (pertussis)— the highest number in a single year since 1955. Nearly a quarter of these cases were in adults. Most of the babies who died from the disease, in fact, picked it up from an adult in the home. • In 2011, most of the 4,000 people who died from pneumococcal pneumonia were older than 50. The highest rate of death was in those older than 65, yet only two-thirds of this age group receive the vaccine. • Only about one-third of U.S. adults at high risk for hepatitis B have received the vaccine. Fewer still have received a vaccine for hepatitis A. If you're someone who's afraid of vaccines, you need to know this: You can't get a disease from the vaccine. They won't cause you harm. Instead, the more people who receive vaccinations, the fewer germs are around you. Vaccines virtually wiped smallpox and polio off the face of the map. So which vaccines do adults need? Recommendations vary depending upon your age, overall health, and medical history. It's really important to stay up to date with vaccines if you have special health conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular, liver, or renal disease. That's because some vaccine-preventable diseases may put you at increased risk for serious complications. Remember: all adults—no matter how healthy you are—should have a seasonal influenza vaccine every year. You can talk with me about your schedule for these vaccines: * Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Td/Tdap) * Meningococcal *Chickenpox * Hepatitus A * Human papillomavirus (HPV) * Hepatitus B * Shingles * Typhoid * Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) * Yellow Fever * Pneumonia If you travel to other countries, there are often vaccine requirements recommended for your safety. Eden Drug can provide you with the CDC suggested vaccines for your destination, as well as, a complete travel immunization record. Vaccinate Here and Be Safe There! Be healthy and stay well!

Charity Helping Hands helps people in a pinch Homeless? A little down on your luck of late? Simply having trouble making ends meet? If you are in need of clothing, shoes, coats, or food, there is a new place to get what is really needed for you or your family members near Eden. Charity Helping Hands is the place to visit. They offer free clothing of all types; coats, shoes and you can pick up a little food on the way to hold you over. There is nothing to sign up for, no criteria to be met, just if you feel you are in need, come in and pick up what you need. Only a few of the really larger items are for sale, and this money is used to help pay the gas, electric, water and facility needs. Any cash left over is spent to buy food for the pantry. Ran by Charity Baptist Church members and volunteers, Charity Helping Hands is located at 11081 NC Hwy 87, in the former Bud’s Feed & Seed building near Hilltop. Gary Grubbs, pastor, said that since he has been preaching he has had contact with many who are homeless or nearly there in our population. With times as they are, things may just get worse before they get better, and he wants to help. “I just want those in need to know that we as Christians want to help, and that God’s people love them,” Grubbs added. With Christmas coming there will be a great need, so if you are cleaning out your closets or home, please think to drop off the items at Charity Helping Hands. The shop accepts donations of clothing, shoes, coats, furniture, food, and baby items during it’s normal hours: Tue Thurs. 12-5, Fri & Sat. 9-5, and on occasion, pickup is available for the larger items. Monetary donations are also appreciated.
For the fun of it Birthday Little Jimmy was shouting out a prayer for his birthday. “Please God, all I want for my birthday is a new X-Box. Thank you.” His mom walked in and said, “Jimmy, why all the shouting? God isn’t deaf.” “I know,” said Jimmy. “But Grandpa is.”

Two local young women have been called to serve 18-month missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)(Mormon). Kalena Martin is assigned to Calgary, Canada and Karlyn Richardson will serve at the Visitors Center of the Karlyn Kelina Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City. Martin, daughter of Kelly and Dr. Dustan Martin of Stoneville, will go to Calgary to begin her missionary work, and Richardson will go to Salt Lake City. “I am excited,” Martin said of her mission. She was especially happy when she learned she was going to Canada since her mother served her mission in Toronto. Richardson agreed she also is excited. “There’s really nothing else I’d rather be doing right now,” she said. “But I feel like it is what I need to be doing right now.” Although she was familiar with the mission program as a child, Martin said really didn’t become interested until the church changed the ages for female missionaries from 21 to 19. “I decided then that I wanted to go on a mission,” she said. She discussed it with her parents who agreed to finance her mission. Martin also saved money from her job as certified nursing assistant (CNA) at North Pointe in Mayodan to help pay for her mission. The two have been preparing for the mission field by accompanying the LDS missionaries assigned to Rockingham County. They visit church families, canvass neighborhoods, and visit people who have been recommended by other members or who sought information on line about the church. Martin graduated from McMichael High School in 2012 and was in a health occupations class, earning her CAN certification. For the past year, Martin was in the pre-associate degree nursing program at RCC but now will put off her education until she completes her mission. A native of Ann Arbor, MI, Richardson, Daughter of Bruce and Elizabeth Richardson, has lived in Eden since she was eight. She graduated in 2012 from Morehead High School. In the past year, Richardson attended RCC. After completing her mission, she plans to return to RCC and eventually hopes to work with children in the medical field. Both graduated from the church Seminary program. “Karlyn and Kalena are two of the finest young women I have ever known, and they are outstanding examples to not only the young members of our church, but also to the adults of what young people of their generation can become,” said Bishop Jack A. Monroe of the Eden Ward of the LDS Church.

Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler and County Governmental United Way Co-Chairs Tara Pierce and Ronald “Ronnie” Tate had extra help with this year's fundraising campaign. They invited Dr. Cindy Sarwi, Executive Director of United Way of Rockingham County, to visit County departments and briefly share with staff how giving to the United Way impacts the lives of local citizens and neighbors. Sarwi talked oneon-one with County employees to encourage increased support for local agencies. Those wishing to donate to the County’s United Way Campaign may contact Pierce at 336.342.5756 or tpierce@co.rockingham.nc.us or Tate at 336.342.8104 or rtate@co.rockingham.nc.us.
Continued from Page 14 "Our Rockingham County citizens are very special to all of us in Rockingham County Government," Metzler said. "I came up with this idea to honor a Rockingham County citizen as "Boss of the Month" in order to remind employees that our ultimate responsibility is to serve our citizens." Several framed photos of the "Boss of the Month" are displayed in the Governmental Center, on the County's homepage, and the County's Facebook page.

Future Voter ID Requirements in North Carolina outlined Beginning in 2016, North Carolina will require voters to show a photo identification (photo ID) when they present to vote in person. This change is a result of the Voter Information Verification Act or “VIVA.” (S.L. 2013-381). Until 2016, most voters will not be required to show any form of identification when they vote. Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Before 2016, there are certain voters who will be required to show some form of identification when they present to vote – either “in person” or when voting “by mail.” First-time voters, who at the time of their initial voter registration did not provide their North Carolina driver license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number, or who provided a number that could not be validated, will be required to show identification when they vote. This identification does not have to be a photo ID. The requirement for first-time voters to show identification is a requirement of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, a federal law not unique to North Carolina. Acceptable forms of HAVA ID include: Acceptable HAVA ID A current and valid photo identification; or A copy of one of the following documents that show the name and address of the voter: a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document. First-time voters who are required to show HAVA ID will have been notified of this requirement by their county board of elections. First-time voters who are required to show HAVA ID, but who do not bring an acceptable form of identification when they present to vote, will be offered the opportunity to vote a provisional ballot. The voter must then submit a copy of one of the acceptable forms of HAVA ID noted above to their county board of elections before the date set for the county canvass of the election in which they voted provisionally. The instructions provided to the provisional voter will explain the exact date and time by which the HAVA ID must be submitted. If the voter fails to provide the county board of elections with acceptable HAVA ID, the voter’s provisional ballot will not be counted. For full explainations of voting questions go to www.ncsbe.gov

Reidsville Area Foundation commits $1.27 Million to Simulated Hospital
Rufus Says Happy Thanksgiving! Over 20 years in accident recovery experience.
The Reidsville Area Foundation’s gift on Thursday of $1.27 million to Rockingham Community College will enable construction of the first two phases of a simulated hospital on campus. The gift, added to $1.16 million in previous donations, will allow RCC to combine phases one and two of the three-phase, $4.8 million renovations project when it goes out for bid later this fall. The effort to raise funds for the remainder of the project, called “Building Futures: A Campaign for Advanced Health Care Education,” will continue with added impetus. Dollars are still needed for the final phase, which includes equipment. “The Reidsville Area Foundation Board is pleased to have an opportunity to improve the learning environment for RCC’s health-care students by providing funding for this project,” said Reidsville Area Foundation Vice Chairman Jacob B. Balsley, III. “The simulated hospital appealed to us because its scope targeted several components of our mission. Our independent, non-supporting foundation was formed as a result of the merger of Annie Penn Hospital in Reidsville with the Cone Health System. This project uses resources to benefit all of Rockingham County which is an important factor for our foundation. “In this advanced technological education facility, RCC’s health sciences students will garner a skill set that will take them from novice to competency, which translates into job placement in area health care practices.” The project includes extensive renovations to the college’s Owens Human Services Building so RCC’s health sciences pro-
grams can be taught in one building. The facility will be transformed into a simulated hospital where students will benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to education in the health sciences programs of study. “We are grateful for this contribution to our health sciences program,” said RCC’s president, Dr. Michael S. Helmick. “The Reidsville Area Foundation has been a supporter of the college for many years, and we welcome their involvement in our latest endeavor to transform education in Rockingham County. “By housing all of our health care programs in one building within a simulated hospital setting, we will be able to realistically reproduce that environment for our students. This will not only foster interdisciplinary collaboration within our programs, but will enable our students to make a seamless transition into the work environment after graduation. It is the best possible learning scenario.” The Charlotte-based architectural firm of Clark Patterson Lee originally designed the project in three phases. They now are putting the finishing touches on a two-phase project, thanks to the generosity of the Reidsville Area Foundation. The contribution will provide for the renovation of the majority of the building’s lower level, which will feature a simulation area as well as classrooms, and labs. Also included in the initial phase will be the conversion of a courtyard into an atrium for study and community gatherings. The atrium and skills lab suite, which will house nine individual patient care units and an isolation room where students learn to care for patients in a realistic, hospital environment, will
Decemeber Deadline Is November 22nd At 4 PM
be named in honor of the Reidsville Area Foundation. The upper level of the building will include a conference room, faculty lounge, and classroom space. The final phase of renovations will cover much of the upper level, the lower- level lobby, and a covered ambulance bay. Some equipment also is included in the final phase. The mission of the Reidsville Area Foundation is to strengthen Rockingham County by supporting education and the well-being of its citizens. Members of the foundation’s board of directors include: Donna S. Rothrock, chair; Jacob B. Balsley, III, vice chair; J. Wayne Keeling, MD, treasurer; Lafayette Judkins, DDS, secretary; Victor R. Armstrong; Malcolm N. Clark, CPA; Jonathan Craig; Mary R. Fagan; Kathleen M. Halm; Leon Niegelsky; Kenneth G. Norman; J. Scottie Penn; Edwin Wilson, Jr.; and R. Craig Cardwell, the foundation’s executive director. Individuals, businesses, and others wishing to contribute to the college’s campaign are urged to contact Jeanette Webb, capital campaign assistant by telephone at (336) 342-4261, ext. 2016 or by email at webbj@tockinghamcc.edu.

North Carolina’s Infant Mortality Rates Released
Rockingham County Commissioners, Sheriff Sam Page & Detective MaryJane Webb! County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff Sam Page honored Detective MaryJane Webb (Rockingham County Sheriff's Dept.) at the Oct. Commissioners' meeting for Outstanding Dedication and Service Beyond the Call of Duty.
In October the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) released the state’s Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) for 2012. The IMR is the ratio of the number of deaths in the first year of life to the number of live births occurring in the same population during the same period of time. According to statistics released from the NCDHHS, the rate for North Carolina in 2012 was 7.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. The IMR for 2012, while the third lowest in state history; is a slight increase from the 2011 rate of 7.2, and the all-time low of 7.0 in 2010.

Unfortunately, the IMR for Rockingham County has shown a steady increase; revealing a 6.3 rate increase since 2010. Continued challenges identified in the statewide 2012 infant mortality data include: • There was a 7.8% increase in African American Non-Hispanic infant mortality rate with more than twice as many African American babies dying before their first birthday as white babies. The numbers are also increasing in the American Indian population as well. • Nearly half of women who delivered infants were overweight or obese (48.5%). Being overweight or obese during pregnancy can increase the risk for Cesarean section delivery, longer hospital stays, gestational hypertension, diabetes, fetal death and birth defects. • 12% of births to women in North Carolina have a birth interval of less than 6 months between delivery and next conception, which increases the risk for miscarriage, preterm birth, low birth weight and other pregnancy complications. • About 20% of women ages 18-44 currently use tobacco; with 10.6% of women smoking during pregnancy in 2012. Eliminating maternal smoking may lead to a 10% reduction in all infant deaths and a 12% reduction in deaths from perinatal conditions including premature delivery and low birth weight. According to the Rockingham County 2012 Community Health Assessment’s Community Household Opinion Survey, although the percentage of women who smoke while pregnant has decreased to 20.7%, it remains significantly higher than the state’s Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Survey result of 10.9% in 2011and remarkably higher than Healthy North Carolina’s 2020 objective of 6.8%. Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services recognizes this major health disparity and is committed to developing strategies to reduce childhood exposure to secondhand smoke by implementing programs and policies that will positively impact barriers to healthy behaviors and improve quality of life. In November, the health department will offer free FreshStart™ smoking cessation classes for pregnant women, mothers and/or female caregivers of small children. The session will begin on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 3:00 pm at the Rockingham County Department of Public Health located within the Governmental Center at 371 NC 65 Wentworth, NC. The classes will be held for one hour, once a week for four weeks. Participants will receive class material, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) in the form of gum or patches (while supplies last), light snacks, and a $10.00 gas cards when attending each class (up to $40 value). A component of the evidence-based You Quit~Two Quit intervention will be incorporated with all expecting mothers who attend. If you or someone you know is ready to kick the smoking habit, please contact Katrina White at 336-342-8150 or kwhite@co.rockingham.nc.us. For a complete copy of the 2012 Infant Mortality Report visit http://www.schs.state.nc.us/SCHS/d eaths/ims/2012. Funding for this project was made possible by the Dr. Ann F. Wolfe Endowment through the North Carolina Public Health Association.

Copper Thief Caught in the Act Twice Gets 2-4 Years in Prison Paul Clifford Lester, 67, of Eden will spend the next 2-4 years in prison after his plea of guilty to two counts of Breaking/Entering and two counts of Larceny. On February 2, 2012, officers with the Eden Police Department were called to a Church Street business regarding a larceny in progress. Officers found the defendant using tools to dislodge a breaker box in the business, along with additional tools and metal on the floor where the defendant was standing. The victims indicated it would cost more than $42,000.00 to repair the damage. On August 4, 2013, officers with the Eden Police Department were called to a Church Street residence regarding a breaking and entering. When they arrived, officers saw Lester climbing out of the window of the residence. Lester had two bags which contained a metal box with wires, a chandelier, and copper. Lester told officers that he needed money for his drug habit. Lester has prior convictions for Possession with Intent to Sell/Deliver Marijuana, Sell/Deliver Marijuana, Driving While Impaired, Felony Possession Marijuana, Possession of Clonazepam, and Resisting Arrest.
Hospital prices to be made public in June 2014 Gov. Pat McCrory recently signed legislation that will require hospitals to publish the prices that they negotiate with insurers. Most of us know that when a hospital charges a set price that the eventually negotiate a lower price with the insurance companies. Beginning in June of 2014, the state will make public the actual amount hospitals end up charging health plans for their services. This informaion will be available after that on the Health and Human Servcies web site. What does this mean to the consumer? It means that in North Carolina, if you are to undergow surgery, you can comparison shop between hospitals before schedualing the prosedure. This can be especially important because employeers are having to ask employees to take on larger premiums, and higher deductibles. If you are to pay out of pocket for your care, or have to pay a large co-insurance portion, comparison shopping can be important. You would think the prices would be generally in the same catagory, but not so. The same proceedure can cost hundreds, thousands and even tens of thousands different from a neighboring facility. Be sure to shop when there is time for a dicision to be made. North Carolina will soon make data like that a whole lot more accessible, possibly changing the way that people there seek health care treatments.

All County Chorus to feature a taste of Korean culture at event
On November 5th a taste of Korean culture will come to Rockingham County, as RCS Schools will present the annual High School All-County Choral Festival! Each of the four high schools will have 35 select singers to join together in this mass choir for the countywide event. The Festival will be held all day on Tuesday, Nov. 5th at Rockingham County High School, with a 6 pm concert to follow the day of rehearsals.
As a part of the countywide musical celebration, the singers will be conducted in a choral piece by each of the high school directors, as well as enjoying a clinic by special guest conductor Dr. Eric Poole of Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh. Accompanying the choirs will be Dr. Anne Lewis of Averett University in Danville. A variety of choral pieces will be featured: “Ubi Caritas”, “For Good” from Wicked, “Omnia Sol”, “Long Time Ago”, “Ride On, King Jesus” and “The Hills of Arirang”. Accompanying this Korean folksong on the Gayageum will be two instrumentalists who have a close connection to “Arirang”, which has been called the Korean National Anthem. Instrumentalists: Mrs. Yong Cha Young has studied for 6 months the Gayageum, Korea’s most well-known traditional stringed instrument. Closely resembling the zither, the Gayageum is often used in the accompaniment of Korean songs. Owner and operator of Young’s Cleaners in Eden, Mrs. Young shares her love of the instrument with her husband, 2 children and 2 grandchildren, Princess and Leah. Her teacher, Ms. Kara Lee, has been playing the Gayageum for 30 years, since high school! Ms. Lee studied the instrument in college and was a member of the Korean Youth Orchestra. After moving to the U.S. she has taught private lessons and was the music

director of the Chicago Korean Music Ensemble. Presently she serves as Vice-Principal of the Korean Language and Cultural School of Greensboro, and also is Director of the Mosaic Gayageum Ensemble. The public is cordially invited to this concert, which is free and open to the public. The 6 pm concert will be held on Nov. 5th at Rockingham County High School. Contact Ann Pratt at McMichael High School with any questions. The Festival is made possible by the generous support of Rockingham County Schools and a Grassroots Grant through the Rockingham County Arts Council, the NC Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art! *About the Gayageum l Closely resembling the zither, the Gayageum is perhaps Korea’s most well-known traditional instrument. It is customarily designed with twelve strings, each with a different pitch, but modern variants with twenty-five strings have also become increasingly popular. Each string on the Gayageum is supported by a bridge, whose position determines the individual pitch of the string. *About the Mosaic Gayageum Ensemble: The Mosaic Gayageum Ensemble is composed of Korean-American students from North Carolina, united under the goal of bringing Eastern and Western music together into a beautiful harmony. Just as each individual student embodies a link between two different nations, so their music seeks to cross over boundaries and form a bridge between Korean and American culture.

The Boys’ &Girls Club thanks all who helped The Boys & Girls Club of Eden recently held their Annual Appreciation Dinner to honor those who have given of themselves during the last year. Catered by Debbie’s Catering of Stoneville and sponsored by The Gloria Happala Family Trust, the guests enjoyed a delicious meal before the ceremonies began with Conrad Clark, president, introducing the guest speaker, Sam Law, former director of the Eden’ Boys & Girls Club. Sam spoke of the history of the local club, from its meager beginnings 58 years prior, near Five Forks in Leakesville to its present building and staff. He spoke how in the beginning the club operated on a small $15,000
budget yearly and noted how it has grown. With the present building located on 6 acres donated by Fieldcrest Mills, the capital Campaign staff worked to raise 700,000 to build the facility. After raising $400,000 of the goal a Godsend came from the
Estate of Mrs. John T. Hicks, totaling some 1.1 million. And the rest is history. Law retired in 2003 and Terry Vernon took over the presidents job until a few years later when he turned it over to Amy

For The Fun Of It In & Out Once there was a family of skunks who lived in a hollow tree. There were two baby skunks. Their names were In and Out. Now whenever In went out, Out came in, and whenever Out went out, In came in. If In happened to be in and wanted to go out, he would not go out until Out came in. And if Out happened to be in, and wanted to go out, he would not go out until In came in. One day a big storm blew up, and the mother and father skunks were worried about their children. So they quickly looked around to see whether In was in and Out was out or if Out was in and In was out. Out happened to be in right then. The mother skunk said to Out, "Out, go out and bring In in, please. I'm worried about him." Out said, "Sure thing, Mama." So Out went out, and for the very first time Out and In were out at the same time. Just a minute or two later Out came back in, and In came in behind him. For the first time in a long time In and Out were in at the same time. The mother skunk was amazed. "Out, how did you find your brother so quickly?" she asked. "Oh, Mama, it was easy," Out said. "In stinked!" If you need a hint, that's instinct.
Sunday Drive Two elderly women were out for a Sunday drive in a large car and both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light". After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red again, and again they went right through. This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to see what was going on. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through, and she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us!" Mildred turned to her and said "Oh, am I driving?"

Pilots
Lie
All the passengers are seated on a plane out on the tarmac and the stewardess announces “we’re just waiting for the pilots.”. The passengers look out the window and see two men, dressed as pilots walking towards the plane. Both men are using guide dogs and appear to be blind. There are murmurs among the passengers, and some believe it is a joke. The men board the plane and go into the cockpit. More concerned murmurs and uneasy chuckles from the passengers. The plane taxis normally to the runway and begins it’s takeoff. As passengers look out the window they realize they are nearing the end of the runway. The entire passenger cabin begins screaming but the plane lifts off just before the end of the runway. The passengers calm down and chuckle to themselves. In the cockpit, the pilot turns to his copilot and says “you know, one day those people are gonna scream too late and we’re all gonna die!”
A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon. The son says, "I did some schoolwork." The robot slaps the son. The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies." Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?" Son says, "Toy Story." The robot slaps the son. Son says, "Ok, Ok, we were watching a dirty movie." Dad says,"What? At your age I didn't even know what a dirty movie was." The robot slaps the father. Mom laughs and says,"Well, he certainly is your son." The robot slaps the mother. Robot for sale.
A Demanding Customer A customer was continually bothering the waiter in a restaurant; first, he'd asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down because he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour. Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, walking back and forth and never once getting angry. So finally, a second customer asked why didn't they just throw out the pest. "Oh I don't care." said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner."
Ice Cream
A man goes into an ice cream parlor and says, “I’d like two scoops of chocolate ice cream, please.” The girl behind the counter says, “I’m very sorry, Sir, but our delivery truck broke down this morning. We’re out of chocolate.” “In that case,” the man says, “I’ll have two scoops of chocolate ice cream.” “You don’t understand, Sir,” the girl says. “We have no chocolate.” “Then just give me some chocolate,” he says. Getting angrier by the second, the girl says, “Sir, will you spell VAN, as in vanilla?” The man says, “V-A-N.” “Now spell STRAW, as in strawberry.” “OK. S-T-R-A-W.” “Now,” the girl says, “spell STINK, as in chocolate.” The man hesitates. Then he says. “There is no stink in chocolate.” “THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!” she screams.
The Donkey One day a boy saw a farmer selling a donkey for $100.00. The boy told the farmer he would pay the money if the farmer could deliver it to his house. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day but when he arrived at the boy's house there was no donkey. He told the boy that the donkey died during the night. Saddened, the boy asked for his money back. "I'm afraid I have already spent the money." the farmer said. "Well, then just give me the donkey." said the boy. "What are you going to do with a dead donkey?" asked the farmer. The boy told the farmer he would think of something, so the farmer delivered the donkey the next day. The next month the farmer saw the boy and asked him what he ever did with the donkey. "I made $895.00 off of that thing." the boy said. " How could you make that much money off of a dead donkey?" the farmer wanted to know. The boy said, "I didn't tell anyone he was dead at first. I just put up signs around town that said I was going to raffle off a beautiful donkey for raffle tickets that cost $5.00 and I sold 200 tickets." "Wait a minute", said the farmer, "you said you made $895.00 but if you sold 200 tickets at $5.00 each that's $1,000.00. After you subtract the $100.00 you paid me you should have made $900.00". "You're right", said the boy, "But when the winner found out the donkey was dead he was a little upset so I gave him his money back." (The boy grew up and became the CEO of Enron.)
The Cab Driver A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much." The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years".
Great Thanksgiving is great because people tend to speak less when food is lodged in their mouths.
Three Men on a Hill
There were three men on a hill with their watches. The first man threw his watch down the hill and it broke. The second man threw his watch down the hill and it broke. The third man threw his watch down the hill, walked all the way to the bottom, and caught it. The other two men were puzzled and asked the third man how he did it. The third man said, "Easy. My watch is 5 minutes slow!"

For The Fun Of It Just me an' Leroy.
Farmer
Two Words
A man stopped at a local gas station, and after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a Coke. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole. The men worked right past the guy with the Coke and went on down the road. "I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a trash container and headed down the road toward the men. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?" "Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said. "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?" "You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: Me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy here puts the dirt back. You see with the government sequestering, they are not buying any more trees so Elmer's job's been cut ... so now it's just me an' Leroy.
A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost. "$10 for 3 minutes," replied the pilot. "That's too much," said the farmer. The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make a sound, you'll have to pay $10." The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man." "Maybe so," said the farmer, "But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out."
A prince had a curse put on him when he was a little boy. He could only speak two words every year. But, if he didn't speak for a whole year, he would then be able to speak 4 words the next year and so on. One day he met a princess named Josie and he wanted to say "My Princess". The next year he saw her he wanted to say "My princess, i love you". The third year he saw her he wanted to say "My princess I love you, will you marry me?" But, the young prince, now growing older knew he would have to wait a couple more years. So, on the fifth year, excited to finally present his question, he visited the princess. He approached her respectfully and asked, "JOSIE, MY PRINCESS, I LOVE YOU. WILL YOU MARRY ME?" And the princess said, "Pardon?"
Anthill Golf Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot. Everything but the golf ball. It sat in the same spot. So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn’t even wiggle. Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other, “Whoa! What are we going to do?” Said the other ant, “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to get on the ball.”

You Know You've Turned Into a Mom When... You automatically double-knot everything you tie. You find yourself humming the Barney song as you do the dishes. You hear a baby cry in the grocery store, and you start to gently sway back and forth, back and forth. However, your children are at school! You actually start to like the smell of strained carrots mixed with applesauce. You weep through the scene in Dumbo when his mom is taken away, not to mention what Bambi does to you. You get soooo into crafts you contemplate writing a book called 101 Fun Crafts to do with Dryer Lint and Eggshells. You spend a half hour searching for your sunglasses only to have your teenager say, "Mom, why don't you wear the ones you pushed up on your head?" You are out for a nice romantic meal with your husband, enjoying some real adult conversation, when suddenly you realize that you've reached over and started to cut up his steak!

Crystal Morphis, an economic development consultant with more than seventeen years of experience, evaluated the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development (RCP) marketing strategies and found them to be in line with those she recommends to her clients. Morphis met with the Marketing and Public Relations Committee of the RCP on Friday, September 20, 2013 at the Holiday Inn Express in Reidsville, NC. Morphis is a Certified Economic Developer who operates her own economic development consultant firm, Creative Economic Development Consulting, LLC. Prior to opening her own business, she worked with Sanford Holshouser Economic Consulting for ten years and was the Vice President,
of Surry County, NC Economic Development Partnership. Some of her observations of the RCP marketing efforts included praise for the web site that she found attractive and easy to navigate. Morphis reinforced the belief that while tourism efforts benefit from advertising, there is a very low return on investment by using media for industrial recruitment. Cold calling was not considered very useful in seeking industrial prospects, primarily because companies typically employ specialized consultants to help them find the sites they need for relocations and expansions. The only exception to this rule is if there are media reports of a company seeking a new location and it would then be helpful to follow up with these firms. It should be noted that the RCP has initiated 952 W. Washington St. Eden

contacts with both Colt and Berretta Fire Arm companies that had indicated they were looking for new locations. Morphis confirmed the RCP practice of contacting site consultants and local real estate brokers so they are aware of the available sites in Rockingham County. Vice- President of Marketing Wade Taylor regularly makes such contact throughout the southeastern U.S. Her major recommendation for the RCP was to initiate a new comprehensive economic development plan. Morphis was complimentary of the county tourism marketing materials and was pleasantly surprised at the high demand for them in area welcome and visitor centers. She encouraged the continued use of social media to promote county attributes and recommended an emphasis on quality of life for the attraction and attention of talented employees for area companies. For more information on this meeting or the RCP contact Public Relations and Marketing Consultant Jamie Rorrer at 336613-2196.

Do you have outdated or unwanted medications to get rid of? An easy solution is just around the corner at the Eden Police Department. Sgt. Anthony Welch and Sgt. Sam Shelton procured a grant from the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators to fund a permanent drop box for medications. The drop box is now in the lobby of the police department. All medications, prescription and overthe-counter, are accepted except liquids. Also, no needles or items that can prick should be placed in the box. You can put your medications in the box without having to talk to a police department employee. The box will be emptied periodically and the items inside destroyed. This is absolutely the best way to get rid of medication. While flushing prescription medication was at one time standard practice, scientists now know the flushed medications enter our water streams, potentially harming our environment. The police department is located at 308 E. Stadium Drive, at the corner of Pierce Street. The lobby is open 24/7.
Every October, people all over the world dress out in pink to help bring awareness to breast cancer. Most people by now know what breast cancer is and the affect that it can have on everyone involved. The problem, though, is many people forget to take the steps necessary to detect breast cancer early. By bringing awareness to breast cancer during this annual campaign, we hope to get people’s attention and remind them to make that appointment for their next or even first breast exam. Many women are afraid of what they may find out, but the news will be far worse if they wait until the cancer has spread to have it checked out. Early detection is the best way to fight breast cancer and improve your chances against becoming a victim. It’s really not a difficult process and doesn’t take a lot of time. Not catching breast cancer early can create a difficult process that may take all of your time. The choice seems simple to me. And MEN, don’t think that you are not affected. If you have any history of breast cancer in your family, you could be at risk as well. It doesn’t hurt to at least talk to your doctor to get more information. The reason breast cancer awareness is so highly talked about every year is it continues to be the second highest cause of death among women. There are still no real answers to why many women end up with this form of cancer, so every woman needs to take this seriously. There are many myths used to try to explain why some people get cancer. The truth is that you may never know the real cause. Having a family history of breast
cancer is definitely a cause for concern, but it doesn’t even determine that you will definitely be diagnosed one day. Many women with a family history never get cancer while many women with no previous family history do. You can’t predict your chances, so it’s best to just go ahead and have that uncomfortable conversation with your doctor. It could end up being the best conversation of your long, healthy life. The City of Eden does what it can to help with this cause. Every year on “Pink Day”, we ask our employees to wear pink to show support for breast cancer awareness. This year, the day was on Oct. 25. Because it is usually so close to Halloween, we give employees the opportunity to really show out and dress extravagantly in pink. We have a lot of fun, but we take the cause seriously and try to be a reminder for all of those out there who just need to take that first step. This year we also did something different by having our Facilities and Grounds crew build and place two huge pink ribbons by the sign in front of City Hall. This crew also found pink lights to shine on the sign at night. For the whole month of October, anyone driving down Stadium or Pierce streets any time of the day could see these signs and know that we care. The pictures that we take of all of us together in pink can last for many years to come and we want the same for the people of this community. Our employees are a part of this community in many ways and your well-being can affect us all in different ways. Stay aware and take care!

Eden’s deputy police chief graduates from FBI National Academy
Light
The City of Eden is proud to announce that Deputy Police Chief Greg Light, a 21-year veteran of the department, has reached one of the highest achievements a law enforcement officer can strive for – he is a graduate of the 254th session of the FBI’s National Academy Program. Light graduated on Sept. 20 after successfully completing 10 weeks of intensive and advanced investigative, management and fitness training. Light was in a class of 208 people from law enforcement agencies in 49 states, the District of Columbia, 22 countries, three military organizations and one federal civilian organization. Chief Reece Pyrtle, a graduate of the 186th session of the FBI National Academy, knows firsthand the benefits of the program. “In addition to all of the excellent training he received while attending the academy, Deputy Chief Light made personal and professional contacts from all over the world that he will remain in touch with for the remainder of his career and beyond,” he said. “I know that he will share his experiences with other members of our management team and encourage them to challenge themselves professionally in similar ways.” Pyrtle would like other members of his department to set and reach the goal of attending the academy. “I hope that Deputy Chief Light is one of many Eden police officers that are successful in completing such training in the future.” Congratulations Deputy Chief Light!

DILLARD ELEMENTARY PBIS FAIR Teachers and staff disguised as such characters as "The Dismissal Diva," "The Cafeteria Cop," and "The Potty Princess" could be seen in various places in the Dillard Elementary School building on Friday, August 30. No, it wasn't a Halloween celebration, these staff members were teaching the students about the PBIS expectations for each common area of the school. As students moved from station to station the staff member taught the school PBIS expectations, adding characters and humor to make the day all the more memorable. The day culminated in a PBIS Pep Rally to help teach about our school-wide recognition process. Dillard Dragons are now proficient in the three R's of each area of the Dillard campus and ready to show some school pride by being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn! Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success.
STONEVILLE ELEMENTARY GOES TO SAMBA SCHOOL Percussionist Daniel Diaz took Stoneville Elementary School students on a tour of Latin American cultures through percussion instruments and dance rhythms. Mr. Diaz, a percussionist from Winston Salem, is an active performer for the Hispanic Arts Alliance. Students discovered several styles of music from a wide range of Hispanic cultures: from indigenous people to the West Coast of Africa to Europe. The students clapped along in rhythm to the Samba and the Rumba and even helped Mr. Diaz sing a song from his native country of Puerto Rico. This performance was part of Stoneville Elementary School's programming for Hispanic Heritage Month and sponsored by the Stoneville Elementary PTA.

The Reidsville Business Showcase was a great success. It was moved to a new location this year, the former Winn-Dixie building on Way Street in Reidsville. Tech Authority was the major sponsor of the event. Pace Chevrolet, Buick, GMC was the sponsor of a Taste of the Reidsville Chamber with 10 participating caterers and restaurants providing food samples, a business to business networking reception with about 350 attendees. Sagebrush Steakhouse sponsored the vendor dinner. InterCircle Marketing sponsored and created the showcase website. The Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development sponsored the registration table. Scales Street Music provided the sound system. We had many facility sponsors who helped make repairs to the building. The Chamber would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, board members, and ambassadors for supporting such an important event. About 300 people from the Rockingham County area attended the event. There were 70 vendors that participated in the Showcase this year. We look forward to another successful event next October.

In A School Day’s Haze
SOUTH END ELEMENTARY PBIS PEP RALLY South End Elementary School held their PBIS pep rally on September 26. Students helped a new class (comprised of teachers) learn the expected behaviors in the halls, cafeteria and on the playground. Mrs. Moore, the guidance counselor, and Mrs. Martin, the principal, hosted the event, which also included a visit from Benjamin Bear, South End’s mascot. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success.
CENTRAL ELEMENTARY PERFORMS GOLDIE AND THE BEARS Kindergarten and first grade students at Central Elementary performed "Goldie and the Bears" on September 26, 2013. Central's music teacher, Melodie Overby, directed the show which followed a PTSO meeting.
Lincoln Elementary G - Give Respect A - Allow Learning T - Thinking of Others O - Observe Safety R - Remember Responsibility Kindergarten students in Mrs. Combs and Mrs. Bethel's class at Lincoln Elementary are certainly demonstrating the school's GATOR motto. At Lincoln, individual children earn "chomp" tickets for GATOR behavior and the whole class earns golden gators when caught following the motto. These kindergarten students earned more than 800 chomp tickets and a grand total of 52 golden gators during the first six weeks of school! Go GATORS!
MCMICHAEL HIGH STUDENTS WORK WITH VEX ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY Students in McMichael High Career and Technical Education (CTE) Advanced Studies and members of the Technology Student Association (TSA) are learning about VEX robotics (VEX is a brand of robotics). These students will be competing in the VEX robotics competition in the spring at the state TSA convention. The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). These are just a few of the many fields students can explore by creating with VEX Robotics technology. Beyond science and engineering principles, a VEX Robotics project encourages teamwork, leadership and problem solving among groups. It also allows educators to easily customize projects to meet the level of students’ abilities.
Rockingham County Middle Celebrates with Fall Extravaganza!
MOSS STREET ELEMENTARY INVITES PARENTS TO A LUNCH AND LEARN On September 11, all Moss Street parents were invited to attend the first Lunch to Learn event of the year. Parents were given valuable information about the Accelerated Reading (AR) reading program by Mrs. Donna Cook, Moss Street's media specialist. Catherine Massengale, RCS’ Parent Resource Center lead teacher, discussed the abundance of materials the Parent Resource Center has to offer our families to help ensure student success. Stacy Cholula, Moss Street’s school social worker, reminded parents of the importance of being at school on time everyday and also explained the difference in an excused and unexcused absence and tardy. Parents then enjoyed a pizza lunch.
On October 18, Rockingham County Middle School (RCMS) celebrated it's Fall Extravaganza with a dance in the cafeteria and the 2nd Annual Corn Hole Tournament in the gym, as well as games in the lobby. The PTO did a wonderful job of decorating, organizing, and running this assortment of fall activities. Sheetz provided sandwiches, chips, and drinks for the students and staff. A highlight of the event was watching Mrs. Stephanie Wray, Assistant Principal, get taped to the wall with pieces of duct tape that students bought as a fundraiser for the Student Council. Several teams were determined to beat last year's Corn Hole Champs, but Officer Shane Bullins and his son, Ben, won first-place honors again this year!

I am truly thankful by Ken White

So it is November. The kids have totally settled into their "new" schools. Larson is rocking the 6th grade at Holmes and you would never know that Hanson is a Freshman at Morehead. I must say I am having a lot more fun watching my kids go thru these years than I had going thru them myself. It is just kinda of weird that now that I have settled into school that when you read this I

will be done and waiting on the state to send me my LICENSE!! Cause you see I passed my state boards. I still have a couple more tests at school but I MADE IT!!! This experience has be a waking of knowledge and spirit in me that I wasn't sure was still there, I have learned more about the human body then I thought was possible for me. I also learned a lot about what makes people tick and no it is not just your heart that moves you. The old wives tale about squeezing your thumb to get rid of a headache is actually ancient Chinese medicine. I have learned a lot this year and the best is that I will keep on learning. There is so much more out to take in and see what works on people. There is not one miracle pressure point to fix everything, what works on one might make another person worse. There is a quote I read about a massage therapist that says, " I am not a doctor...I am a mechanic". It is funny but true. I can
tune you up and help make you feel better but the true test will be what you as my client will do with your souped up new body. 2013 has been a year of first. It was the first whole year that my family didn't own the cleaners, both kids moved up to the next level of their education, Amy changed departments at the hospital. I also think that this will be the first Thanksgiving in a long time that I can truly be thankful for what I have. I don't mean that in a bad way, I have always been thankful for what I had and the experiences that came with my life, but now I look deeper and longer and I see a little clearer. I still have much to learn about life and I hope to learn new things right up until the end. In the middle of the chaos that the holidays bring take a minute when nobody is looking and open not your eyes but your heart and really look at all that you have to be thankful for. And if you are still STRESSED out
call me. I can sit you up an appointment cause I PASSED MY STATE BOARDS!!! Happy Thanksgiving and get ready Christmas is almost here and you will definitely need to sit up an appointment with me. Don't forget I PASSED MY STATE BOARDS!! said with a big smile

Matthew West has a mission, he is trying to raise $10,000 for Eden's 1st Veteran's Memorial. West is a Life Scout with Boy Scout troop 552 and as a part of his Eagle Scout Project, he's on a mission to create a monument at Freedom Park for those who have served and are currently servingin our military. "Even though this is for my Eagle, if it wasn't I would still do it," said Matthew West. A lot of money has to be raised to complete this project. It will take about $10,000 to complete the entire memorial. Recently West has been hosting several fundraisers to raise money, including a recent Freedom Park Veteran's Memorial Golf Tournament at Oak Hill Golf Course in October.

Wentworth, NC – In October the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) released the state’s Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) for 2012. The IMR is the ratio of the number of deaths in the first year of life to the number of live births occurring in the same population during the same period of time. According to statistics released from the NCDHHS, the rate for North Carolina in 2012 was 7.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. The IMR for 2012, while the third lowest in state history; is a slight increase from the 2011 rate of 7.2, and the all-time low of 7.0 in 2010. Unfortunately, the IMR for Rockingham County has shown a steady increase; revealing a 6.3 rate increase since 2010. Statistics as follows: Year IMR

201213.7 13 7 6 2011 12.4 11 6 4 20107.4 7 5 2 Continued challenges identified in the statewide 2012 infant mortality data include: • There was a 7.8% increase in African American Non-Hispanic infant mortality rate with more than twice as many African American babies dying before their first birthday as white babies. The numbers are also increasing in the American Indian population as well. • Nearly half of women who delivered infants were overweight or obese (48.5%). Being overweight or obese during pregnancy can increase the risk for Cesarean section delivery, longer hospital stays, gestational hypertension, diabetes, fetal death and birth defects. • 12% of births to women in North Carolina have a birth interval of less than 6 months between delivery and next conception, which increases the risk for miscarriage, preterm birth, low birth weight and other pregnancy complications. • About 20% of women ages 18-44 currently use tobacco; with 10.6% of women smoking during pregnancy in 2012. Eliminating maternal smoking may lead to a 10% reduction in all infant deaths and a 12% reduction in deaths from perinatal conditions including premature delivery and low birth weight. According to the Rockingham County 2012 Community Health Assessment’s Community Household Opinion Survey, although the percentage of women who smoke while pregnant has decreased to 20.7%, it remains significantly higher than the state’s Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Survey result of 10.9% in 2011and remarkably higher than Healthy North Carolina’s 2020 objective of 6.8%. Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services recognizes this major health disparity and is committed to developing strategies to reduce childhood exposure to secondhand smoke by implementing programs and policies that will positively impact barriers to healthy behaviors and improve quality of life. In November, the health department will offer free FreshStart™ smoking cessation classes for pregnant women, mothers and/or female caregivers of small children. The session will begin on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 3:00 pm at the Rockingham County Department of Public Health located within the Governmental Center at 371 NC 65 Wentworth, NC. The classes will be held for one hour, once a week for four weeks. Participants will receive class material, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) in the form of gum or patches (while supplies last), light snacks, and a $10.00 gas cards when attending each class (up to $40 value). A component of the evidence-based You Quit~Two Quit intervention will be incorporated with all expecting mothers who attend. If you or someone you know is ready to kick the smoking habit, please contact Katrina White at 336342-8150 or kwhite@co.rockingham.nc.us. For a complete copy of the 2012 Infant Mortality Report visit http://www.schs.state.nc.us/SCHS/deaths/ims/2012. Funding for this project was made possible by the Dr. Ann F. Wolfe Endowment through the North Carolina Public Health Association.

How to Overcome Holiday Stress & Overwhelm The holidays are already beginning. Soon, the in-laws will be coming to visit and you'll be in charge of organizing the big family dinner and what seems like a hundred other tasks. Thanksgiving is all about gratitude. And sometimes with emotions running high it can be hard to feel grateful when there seems like so much pressure and responsibilities surrounding you at every turn. You might ask, what can you do? That’s just part of the holidays right? Well, consider this: how we deal with holiday stress is simply a mirror of how we deal with everything else in our lives. So if you are feeling overwhelmed with the pending holidays coming, or whenever you find yourself in a situation that seems overwhelming, how do you cope with this feeling? Do you work endless hours, perhaps neglecting yourself (like losing sleep or eating on the run because you simply “don’t have the time?”) Trust me, working night and day, or doing things to avoid the feeling, doesn’t get rid of that creeping feeling of an endless to do list being able to actually disappear (things have a tendency to always “pop up”). I see this same story every single day with my clients with who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out and stressed (and the holidays just exaggerate these feelings!). It really comes down to acknowledging that you are worth being taken care of and that you matter just as much.. no even more…than that of your to do list. You might be saying “you don’t understand, I can’t even think straight, I can’t stop thinking of everything I HAVE to get done!” I get it, because I used to be the exact same way! And that’s exactly why I am offering a complimentary resource just for this holiday season that will allow you to unravel those feelings of stress and overwhelm, and once again return to a sanctity of peace once again (even in the midst of a whirlwind of holiday chaos.) I’ve called it the Overwhelm Eraser Tool Kit. It’s a few simple techniques that take less than 5 minutes to feel a rejuvenated sense of calm and let the anxiety melt away. Because it’s at this place of calm, clarity and focus that you can begin to recognize how you can take that time for yourself AND then be even more rejuvenated and productive than before! To gain access, just visit: www.intouchinlife.com/overwhelm. *Go ahead and download it now while it’s still there and enjoy this seasonal gift from me to you!

Volunteer • Share Your Time, Expertise and Knowledge With The Community Letter to the Editor, I encourage Eden residents to vote for Angela Hampton for Eden City Council on November 5. Angela has worked for the prison ministry and the homeless through her church . She was a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and has served on Eden’s Planning Board and Board of Elections. I will vote for Angela Hampton because of her positive spirit. I have grown very weary of constant negatives from leaders. According to newspaper reports, Mr. Hagood has voted “No” on every budget since he has been on city council. His newspaper comments deal with what he is against . Examples of his lack of support are the Eden Community Resource Center that has helped almost 3000 people learn job skills and 500 obtain jobs. This was a collaborative project with the City of Eden, RCC, Goodwill, and Century Link . He did not support the public transportation system SKAT that gives our residents access to medical care, their work sites, and our businesses within a budget they can manage. This service has exceeded all expectations. He did not even show support for the All America City project. I hope you will also vote for Angela Hampton .
Sylvia Grogan
Letter to the Editor: I am writing to endorse Angela Hampton for Eden City Council. I met Angela when she worked at the front office of Morehead High School as a receptionist. Angela is well qualified to be a council woman because she has had a variety of work experiences from administration to manufacturing. She worked at Fieldcrest for 15 years, followed by several years as a receptionist in the Eden City School system. She has been employed by the Lorillard Tobacco Company in the Research Development Center for the past 13 years. A long-term resident of Eden, Angela offers stability and knowledge of the community. She has been married to Jackie Hampton for 41 years, and they have two sons, Clint and Greg. The Hamptons have lived on Irving Avenue for 40 years. Angela is known in the work place for her honesty, integrity, and willingness to listen and to learn. She is a sound decision maker. She has been a member of several boards and is active in her church, where she has worked to help the homeless and has served on the prison ministry. She is a deaconess, a Sunday school teacher, and a choir member. Angela is involved in politics and has worked for the Board of Elections for several years. She has a good temperament and is a team player. She is the type of person willing to work toward solutions and follow through until a project is completed. Job creation is her passionate goal. She is definitely a “people” person who can relate to all citizens—young or old, from any race or religion, and from any walk of life. Our council needs diversity. Vote for this outstanding WOMAN to represent us. Wanda Harris Retired Teacher Morehead High School
ANGELA HAMPTON City Council, Ward 3 The Voice We Need For Progress
Paid for by Committee to Elect Angela Hampton Letter to the Editor, As we approach the November 5, 2013 Eden City Council election it is important to know where incumbent City Councilman Gene Hagood stands on the issues. – Eden Community Resource Center Although this collaborative effort by the City of Eden, Rockingham Community College, Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina and Centurylink Communications has helped almost 4,000 of Eden’s citizens, Mr. Hagood voted against the city participation in the project (2011/2012 and 2012/2013 city budgets.) All we ever hear is how people need to upgrade their skills to compete in today’s workplace and this Center gives people a lifeline to a better future. But, Mr. Hagood thinks it is a waste of money. Just recently a woman was hired by Ruger after being helped by the staff at this Center. Does Mr. Hagood think her opportunity for a new livelihood was not worth the city investment in this project? – Gildan Activewear When this company expanded in 2010, Mr. Hagood voted against the incentive package to help Eden close the deal (June 2010 Eden City Council meeting.) He thought it was wrong to give one of Eden’s largest employers and best corporate partners customary incentives to help them expand and maintain their 285 employees. In fact, Gildan now has 310 employees and 50 more support employees. No one likes incentives, but if Eden did not participate, this expansion may not have happened. – Mega Park Mr. Hagood has been very vocal in his opposition to this park located just outside the city. It is an innovative partnership between the City of Danville, Pittsylvania County and City of Eden. It is a risk, as are all new ventures, but isn’t it worth the potential for 5,000-10,000 jobs? If Mr. Hagood had been in Wake County in the 1950’s when the Research Triangle Park was being proposed, he certainly would have voted against something that has become one of North Carolina’s finest assets. So, let’s examine Mr. Hagood’s record---he is against efforts to help people improve their job skills and he is against an existing industry expanding for the good of the community and its employees, and he is against an industrial park that promises thousands of jobs. What economic development efforts does this man support if any? Mr. Hagood has had four years to do something other than stop all economic development efforts. Do not let him have another four years in office. On November 5th, vote for Angela Hampton who will be a fair and innovative City Council representative, not someone like Hagood who has nothing to offer this city. Sincerely, Michelle Talbott-Corum
