Mother’s Against Drunk Driving Kick-Off planned The Rockingham County Chapter of MADD is hosting a “Kick-off” meeting Tuesday night November 10th at 6:00 PM at Rockingham County Community College, Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center, Room 103.

Founded by a mother whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver, Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) is the nation’s largest nonprofit, working to protect families from drunk driving, drugged driving and underage drinking. MADD also supports drunk and drugged driving victims and survivors at no charge through local MADD victim advocates.

In 2015, MADD's efforts to significantly reduce drunk driving through the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving as well as interest in defining it's role in the fight against

drugged driving, the Board of Directors revised it's mission to reflect those priorities to, “The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking.”

MADD has a state office locat-

ed in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Established during the 1990’s Rockingham County has had an active MADD Chapter with very passionate and avid members. Pandy Chambers Hawker was a passionate member of Rockingham County’s MADD Chapter for many years.

“She was an avid member of MADD for many years,” stated First Sergeant D.B. Wright, N.C. State Highway Patrol. “I met Pandy in 1998 when I began work with the N.C. State Highway Patrol, Pandy routinely came by the NCSHP District Office to calibrate the alcosensors for the County. She worked all of the DWI Checkpoints and always had food onsite at these events for the officers and the MADD volunteers. I personally know that often-times she purchased this food out of her own pocket when she was unable to get sufficient donations,” explained Wright.

Pandy coordinated all the Rockingham County High School Prom Promise Breakfasts each year.

County team again takes the Gold in State Championships The Rockin’ Caroliners are no stranger to the state competitions in Raleigh. Their group, formerly known as the Mama’s and Pa’s, have competed in the state finals held for the N.C. Senior Games, 7 times since 2004.

Debbie Smart, of Eden, has been the group choreographer for 12 years, and just in the past couple of years aged up to be able to participate in the dances herself. You have to be 50 now to participate in the Senior Games.

The Senior Games performance arts team won the county competition back in May of this year perfoming to the music of

Twistin’ the Night Away, by Sam Cooke. Winning on the county level sent them to Raleigh in September to compete against 7 other groups for the state title.

Members of the group this year include Debbie Smart, Betty Finney, Nancy Strong, Nancy Woody, Rhonda Laster, Rhena Wood, Arlene Christman, Lynda Butler, Velma Burcham, Judy Mungle, and Dion Hawkins.

When Lynda Butler’s health condition forced her to drop out of the competition for September more trouble followed. Rhonda Laster recieved a stress fracture in her foot just 1 week prior to competition, and during the orig-

Rockin’ Caroliners became State Champion’s again in September’s Raleigh competition inal May competitions. Rhena Wood had her foot in a brace from surgery, yet the group prevailed.

The performance art portion of the Senior Games takes place in Raleigh each year, with many dance groups going up against each other for the title.

There was unbelievable talent in N.C. State University’s McKimmon Center, as musicians, comedians, vocalists and dancers alike, proving that growing older doesn’t always mean slowing down.

This years event was a nail biter, and the tension was great

when the final countdown from Bronze, to Silver.... to Gold was announced, and the Rockin’ Caroliners came out on top again. This particular act is the only performing act sent from Rockingham County over the years to take home the gold medal.

Eden congratulates the team for their hard work and determination through many challenges.

Small Business Saturday

@ Home with ADTS

November 28, 2015

ADTS to Collaborate with City of Reidsville on new Senior Center!

In between the Black Friday sales and the Cyber Monday deals is Small Business Saturday® (November 28) – a day set aside to support the small businesses that play a vital role in creating jobs and economic opportunities all across the country.

Small businesses are the back bone of our communities.

When we shop small, we not only get great products and services, but we support our neighbors and strengthen our local economies.

By shopping small, we can help America’s small businesses do what they do best: grow their businesses, create good jobs, and ensure that our communities are vibrant.

Small Business Saturday began in 2010 when American Express created this event to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. Last year, an estimated $14.3 billion was spent at small independent businesses on the day. Now, in its sixth year, Small Business Saturday will be even bigger.

Remember, Saturday, November 28, 2015 is Small Business Saturday® – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. Please join the Eden Chamber of Commerce and organizations across the country in supporting your local small businesses by shopping at a small business.

To welcome shoppers, participating stores will display their welcome mat and balloons.

While supplies last, merchants will distribute sporty totes commemorating the celebration.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving and remember to shop small on Saturday, November 28. For more information on Small Business Saturday, please contact Heather Hanks or Randy Hunt at 336-623-3336.

Education Foundation to host Community Event in Eden Rockingham County Education Foundation invites the Eden community to join us for a Conversation with Friends at the Morehead Fair House on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 6:00 – 7:30 PM. The event is a casual social gathering and information sharing of education and its value to our community in its relation to advancing economic development throughout Rockingham County.

Rockingham County Education Foundation is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed in 2008 by community members interested in building the strength of our community through advancement of educa-

Henry Ford once said "Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." In the public sector we work to address complex issues, and collaboration is so often the key to success. An organization’s ability to establish meaningful outcomes more often than not depends on their ability to establish meaningful and effective relationships with other community partners. With this in mind, we are thrilled to announce one such partnership right here in our community - Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County (ADTS) will partner with the City of Reidsville to serve seniors across our county!

As you may have heard, construction is underway on the new Reidsville Senior Center to be located at 102 North Washington Avenue. This 25,000 square foot, state of the art facility will be home to two separate organizations that share a common goal, to enhance the quality of life for older adults.

Approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of the building is dedicated to activities offered through the Reidsville Senior Center. The Reidsville Senior Center, a state certified “Center of Excellence,” provides adults 55 years of age and older with many opportunities to socialize, learn new skills, and participate in a variety of activities, ranging from shopping trips and exercise classes to informational seminars. By providing an assortment of recreational, educational and social activities, the Senior Center emphasizes the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle and full participation in the community.

The remaining 7,000 sq. ft will be leased to ADTS in which we will operate a dually licensed Adult Day Care/Day Health program. Unlike Senior Centers, which cater programming to the interests of active adults, Adult Day programs are designed specifically for older adults who can no longer manage independently and require more formal or structured supports throughout tion and workforce preparedness for all citizens. The mission of RCEF is to provide leadership, advocacy and program resources to increase education and its value in Rockingham County, with a vision to build a more prosperous community through education. 2015-16 board members are Dr. Kristen Christman (chair), Judge Christine Strader (vice-chair), Heather Adams (secretary), Graham Pervier (treasurer), Jim Burnette (pastchair), Skip Balsley, Del Boothe, Craig Cardwell, Dr. Cieanna Hairston, Dr. Mark Kinlaw, Dr. Bob Lowdermilk, Ivan Moore, Lee Niegelsky, Dr. Rodney Shotwell, Ann Willis, and Judge Ed Wilson.

Powers the day. As our community ages and more people find themselves in caregiving roles than ever before, our structured day program provides benefits for the entire family - a safe and inviting place where your older loved ones can remain physically, socially, and emotionally engaged while continuing to live at home; while at the same time, offering caregivers a break from care giving duties with the comfort of knowing that their loved one is in good hands. Adult Day programs offer individually tailored supports to the specific needs of the person and the family. The newly constructed building will afford us the opportunity to provide a full range of services on site including bathing and hair care, making it a true alternative to nursing home placement.

Our collaboration with the City of Reidsville offers a truly unique opportunity to serve older adults across the aging continuum, from the very active to the most frail and vulnerable, this new Senior Center will allow access to an array of supports that adapt, shift, and grow with an individual. The North Carolina Division of Aging and our local Area Agency on Aging recognize this combined facility as the first of its kind statewide, offering a new model for providing aging services. The new facility, expected to open in the summer of 2016, will enhance and expand the services offered through both organizations as well as increase collaborative opportunities with other community partners. Most excitingly, it will provide unparalleled opportunities for residents across Rockingham County to access services, engage with neighbors, and participate in the community. We at ADTS thank the City of Reidsville for making the commitment to improving the quality of life for older adults and their families and we look forward to working together toward success.

Commissioner completes Advanced Leadership Corps Training Rockingham County Commissioner Mark F. Richardson completed the Advanced Leadership Corps (ALC) training offered by the School of Government at the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill in conjunction with the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners and the North Carolina League of Municipalities.

ALC is a weeklong residential program designed to help municipal and county elected officials understand the broader challenges of governing, build personal leadership abilities, and learn how to lead and act collaboratively. Participants also receive individualized leadership coaching after completion of the course.

“The Advanced Leadership Corps is about helping leaders discover how they can work across party lines, across regional boundaries, and across organizational divides toward a larger shared vision of a better North Carolina,” said NCACC Executive Director Kevin Leonard. “Programs like this one give commissioners the skills needed to resolve problems and to be effective leaders, not just in their communities, but also in their regions and at the state and federal levels.”

The program, funded in part by Prudential Financial, is in its third year and has trained 58 municipal and county elected officials from across the state. The course was held Sept. 13-18 in Chapel Hill. The leadership skills developed through ALC are designed to encourage commissioners to become better leaders in their home counties, promote more engagement in the work of the Association, and inspire participants to seek higher public offices.

The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) is the official voice of all 100 counties on issues being considered by the General Assembly, Congress and federal and state agencies. The Association provides expertise to counties in the areas of lobbying, fiscal and legal research, communications, intergovernmental relations, information technology, field visits and risk management services

Firefighters Raise Money to Benefit Children and Adults Struggling with Muscle Diseases October 16, 2015- Eden Professional Firefighters Association Local 2723 are the winners of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Fill the Boot Rookie of the Year Award because of their 2014 Fill the Boot fundraising drive on behalf of the local families affected by muscular diseases in the community.

Under the leadership of Boot Coordinator, Gary Martin, more than 50 volunteers raised a total of $8,800. Eden was in the Top Ten for Inaugural Fill the Boots in the state of North Carolina. Their results perfectly exemplify the passion and dedication they have for the MDA mission and making a difference in their community.

“For more than six decades fire fighters have stood on the front lines for MDA, striving to make a difference in the lives of those affected by muscle disease,” said Pamela Bunten, MDA Fundraising Coordinator, “Eden fire fighters dedicate countless hours of their time participating in Fill the Boot drives.

We're grateful for the support of these selfless individuals who have made a profound impact on our families’ health, wellbeing and quality of life.”

MDA is incredibly grateful for Gary and all of his volunteers who worked so hard to raise funds to support our local MDA families.

IAFF support for MDA began in 1954 when the organization committed by proclamation to support MDA until a cure is found, and the organization's unwavering commitment to MDA has remained strong to this day. To date the IAFF has raised $558 million for MDA. About MDA MDA helps children and

Q & A’s: Flu Season Is Here: Seniors & Friends Take Note!

The flu can hit seniors like a Mack Truck! That’s because their immune systems weaken with age. If you’re over 65—or care for someone who is— keep the following in mind as we head into the flu season.

As for the rest of you, we have a message for you too.

A better match: Last year, seniors really bore the brunt of the flu season.

Sixty percent of flu-related hospitalizations and nearly 80 percent of deaths were among those 65 or older. One problem was that last year’s main strain of flu (H3N2) wasn’t included in the vaccine. So the vaccine was only 13 percent effective against it.

This year’s flu vaccine should be a better match for circulating strains of flu, according to U.S. officials. There’s also an adequate supply of vaccine.

Long-term protection: More good news? A recent study has found that flu vaccines offer moderate protection for about six months. That’s the length of most flu seasons. The study’s findings suggest that a flu shot in early fall may prevent the greatest number of cases.

The common good: The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated each year, but only about half of all Americans do.

Even if you’re young and healthy, getting a flu shot is important.

It may be one of the nicest things you do for your neighbors—especially those older than 65 or younger than 2, pregnant women, or those with chronic health problems or weak immune systems. By protecting yourself, you also help protect others.

A recent study showed that higher vaccination rates among young and middle-aged adults may lower the risk of flu among older people.

Seniors are at greater risk for pneumonia—a complication of the flu.

So find out whether you also need the pneumococcal vaccine.

Stop flu in its tracks! If you do get the flu, you can help prevent its spread: Wash your hands often.

Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Take antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu or Relenza, if prescribed.

These drugs attack the flu virus and stop it from growing.

You can get your flu shot right here. We are ready and willing to make this as easy as we can for you. So don’t delay. Get yours today.

No appointment is necessary!

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.

Letter to the Editor, Eden City Councilman Jim Burnette has served the city and the Eden community well. Here are just a few of his accomplishments: Along with Mayor Tuggle, he spearheaded the Eden Community Resource Center that helps people gain job skills and obtain jobs. As of September of this year, almost 8,500 people had received help and 1,241 gained employment as a result of this center.

He and Mayor Tuggle convened a meeting of local officials to get transportation to the community college for Morehead High School students.

These students now spend part of their day learning skills, such

as welding, aviation technology and automated systems. These are vital skills required for them to continue at RCC when they graduate and be prepared for the needs of today’s workplace.

These are well-paying jobs that are in high demand.

He was a founding member of the Rockingham Education Foundation that helps students apply for and obtain funding for college. Jim also served as Chairman of this Foundation for two years.

He started the Eden Youth Council to help area students learn about civic responsibility.

This has been a very successful program that has helped groom the future leaders of the Eden community.

He was a founding member of the Bob Wilkes Scholarship Foundation that each year provides scholarships to two Morehead High School students.

He has served on the Morehead Hospital Board of Directors for seven years and is a past Chairman of that Board.

These are just a few of the ways that Mr. Burnette serves this community. He is a professional who works tirelessly for the citizens of Eden. Our city needs his leadership as it faces the challenges of the future.

Please vote for him on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Sincerely, Joy Toms

Letter to the Editor Please Support Jim Burnette for Eden City Council Jim Burnette wants to continue to be a part of Eden’s City Council. He is asking you to reelect him. I sincerely hope you will do that. Since his 2007 election, he has been an example of everything a council person should be.

A graduate of Morehead High School, he completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in chemistry. He was Manager of the Dan River Steam Plant.

Jim demonstrates his support for Eden in the most impactful way possible -- he shows up. He assists the Chamber in welcoming new businesses, going to festivals, fundraisers or parades. His presence speaks volumes about his commitment.

He has given thousands of hours working with and leading organizations that support Eden including the United Way, Education Foundation, Red Cross, YMCA, Morehead Hospital and SCORE that sup-

ports potential new business owners.

As Mayor Pro Tem, he created an incredible Youth Council, as an adjunct of the City Council, giving students the opportunity to learn the importance of community involvement. He serves as Advisor.

But Jim's most important asset is his humility and kindness. He is just basically a good guy.

Please go to the polls November 3 and vote for Jim Burnette.

Tips To Potty Train A Puppy Puppies need to go potty more often than adult dogs, follow this guideline: 2 months - every 2-3 hours.

Every additional month ad an hour.

6 month and beyond 6-8 hours.

Always take your puppy out for potty time after a meal and immediately after sleeping. After a playtime session and don't forget to praise him for pottying outside!

Never punish your puppy for a potty accident. If you didn't see it happen, it is too late to punish. If you see it happening, calmly but firmly say “hey hey”, and immediately take your pooch outside to finish his business.

Recently a law was passed to address the excessive burden created by instruments containing many names that appear to be required to be indexed, consuming hours of indexer time and cluttering the indexes. A common form of this type of instrument is a financial institution power of attorney that has long lists of securitized trust agreements and trustees.

Session Law 2015-227, revising G.S. 161-10(a)(1) will read: “For an instrument that contains excessive recording data, the fee shall be an additional two dollars ($2.00) for each party listed in the instrument in excess of 20. An instrument contains excessive recording data when there are more than 20 distinct parties listed in the instrument, including any attachments and exhibits, that require indexing pursuant to G.S. 147-54.3 or this Chapter.”

State law requires registers to index “the names of all parties” to the instrument. In determining who is a party to an instrument, the register relies on what appears in the instrument. If the register determines that a name may be for a party, it will be indexed, and if there are more than 20 names, the additional fee must be paid. The register will not rely on a presenter’s request that a name not be indexed.

NOTE: To avoid unexpected charges and possible inconsistencies in how different registers make reasonable indexing determinations, Drafters should make clear in the instrument which of the names are for parties . Presenters should expect the possibility of paying substantial additional fees, if the instrument is unclear. In addition, if exhibits or schedules are attached to an istrument containing names, the presenter should state on those exhibits or schedules that the names of the parties are not to be indexed. For example, “The names contained on exhibit “A” are not parties to the instrument and are not to be indexed.”

Taylor and Meredith London

MADD... Continued From Page 1 She worked many hours (with no pay) with the area law enforcement and school administration to get these events coordinated and was always there with a smile on her face and the greeting – “Hey Sug”, Wright explained.

Officer Kirk Wade, Traffic Safety Officer with the Reidsville Police Department is also the Team Leader for the County Wide Task Force and County Coordinator for Rockingham County’s Governors Highway Safety Program shared that the DWI Task Force for Rockingham County is named after Pandy in her memory for all her dedication to end drunk driving in Rockingham County.

Rockingham County lost a tremendous asset and advocate with the passing of Pandy Chambers Hawker. She was a true servant to the citizens of Rockingham County. In the past few years prior to Pandy’s death, the MADD Chapter here in Rockingham County had become quite inactive. But all of that is about to change with her cousin Kevin London stepping up to be the new Rockingham County Chapter Leader for MADD. Kevin London lost two of his daughters in a drunk driving crash in July 2012, Taylor and Meredith London. Taylor London was 23 years old and looking forward to a brilliant future. She loved books and learning and graduated from UNCG with a BS in Psychology.

She was working on her first novel when she passed away.

Her sister Meredith was 18, had just graduated high school and was planning to start college in the fall. Both of these girls were known for their big smiles, big laughs and big hearts. They loved being together and spending time with their family. The driver, was convicted in 2015 of driving while impaired, was a family friend. “My world changed forever that day. No parent should have to endure my heartache and pain,” London said.

"To get what everybody has always heard about, that doorbell ring -- it’s devastating," explains London. London's pain is now part of his passion. He is doing whatever he can to help end drunk driving. This dad holds on tight to the memories and he's

made it his mission to help other families have more time together. "It completely changed my life. I feel like I can’t let it happen to someone else," says London.

As a grieving Dad, he has become passionately devoted to the MADD program. He has been very active in Guilford County speaking through nonprofit organizations that offer programs through the Guilford County court system. He speaks with community groups, high schools and at awareness events when asked. "If I can change the thinking of just one teen, it could make all the difference in the world to another family," London said. "It is my mission to spare other families the pain of senseless tragedies like this. If we save one life, then all my work and effort has been worth it" London is in the strategic planning process to End Drunk Driving in Rockingham County.

London has been to Washington D.C. and to Raleigh NC representing MADD and has met with local officials about programs that are available to Rockingham County in efforts to bring about more awareness.

As Chapter Leader of the Rockingham County Chapter of MADD, Kevin has scheduled a “Kick-off” Event. It will be Tuesday night November 10th at 6:00 PM at Rockingham County Community College, Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center, Room 103. Please consider making an impact and join in assisting this group and offering your time and talents. They are in need of people with a passion for ending drunk driving.

MADD’s primary goal is to keep drunk drivers off our roadways, and highly publicized sobriety checkpoints are one of the most successful ways to deter drunk driving.

Officers keep us safe in many ways, including on the roadways. They work long hours with low pay, deal with difficult situations, and put themselves in danger on a daily basis—and some pay the ultimate price.

Forty-four percent of the officers killed in the line of duty were killed in traffic crashes. That’s why MADD supports these heroes who keep our roads safe.

Re-Elect EDEN CITY COUNCILMAN Draper Ward 7

Gerald (Jerry) Ellis Citizens of Eden, I am blessed to have been raised in Eden and to have always found employment here for my entire career. Upon returning from Elon College in 1980, my wife, Debbie and I married. For the next 16 years I worked at Vanier Graphics that was once located on East Meadow Road.

During this period, we had three daughters and were living a good life until Vanier Graphics closed abruptly in 1996. This began, however, on a much smaller scale the stressful situation in which Eden currently finds itself in.

When economic times were better in 1997, I quickly found my present employment with Rockingham County Schools and the City of Eden. This was the beginning of my new life serving our community as an ISS instructor for Morehead High School and being entrusted as head coach in the swimming and softball programs while also assisting our outstanding youth in the Panther football program. I continued as an Eden City Firefighter until my retirement with twenty years of service in 2006.

God willing, great fortune will be found in Eden, North Carolina once again.

No matter whom we are, patience is what we work on daily.

During my two terms as an Eden City Council Member, I have diligently studied the issues and voted my conscience always in the best interest of our citizens. Twentyfour hours a day I serve you the voter as your councilman, the person you chose to serve. Vote for me to continue with wisdom and honor in making wise decisions for our future.

My personal goal is to wholeheartedly join in all economic development efforts available, so that all citizens are able to achieve their personal living and working goals. It is my goal that every family will thrive in our community; and, enable all to have trust and have faith in their elected leaders. Positive direction brings positive results.

I would like to thank each of you for your support in previous elections and look forward to each voting for the Re-Election of Ellis in 2015 for Draper - Ward 7.

All registered voters that live in the city limits of Eden may vote on this ballot for all wards of Eden. Vote and ask your neighbor also to support me on Tuesday the 3rd of November, 2015 with the Re-Election of Councilman Jerry Ellis.

Passing a Final Bond Proposal Rep. Phil Berger Senate Distrct 26

Infrastructure addressed in bill North Carolina has long faced challenges with aging infrastructure – and with a rapidly growing population, our state’s needs are also rapidly growing. In recent months, Gov. McCrory has led the way in advocating for taking advantage of historically low interest rates on government bonds to fund much-needed repairs and replacements of our state facilities.

Recently the Senate answered the governor’s call and approved a final $2 billion bond package to support critical infrastructure needs in our state’s public universities, community colleges, National Guard installations and local water and sewer systems. Voters will cast their ballots on the proposal during the March 2016 primary election.

Among other items, the final proposal includes: · $980 million to upgrade science, engineering and business education facilities at 14 public university campuses and to support repairs and renovations at campuses statewide; · $350 million to the community college system to make improvements at every community college across the state; · $70 million to the N.C. National Guard to build and modernize needed regional readiness centers; · $8.5 million to a public safety training academy; and · More than $300 million in grant and loan programs to improve water and sewer infrastructure in communities statewide.

Two billion dollars is a lot of money to ask our taxpayers to borrow, and I hope voters will weigh the proposal carefully when deciding how to cast their ballots. But once they consider the long-term value to our state, I’m sure they will agree this bond is a good investment in North Carolina’s future.

Banning the Sale of Babies’ Body Parts In the wake of a national scandal exposing how some providers of abortions sell aborted babies’ remains for profit, an overwhelmingly bipartisan Senate moved on Thursday to prevent that from happening in our state.

While federal law prohibits the sale or purchase of aborted fetal tissue, it has become apparent that policy can be circumvented.

The passed legislation will: · Make it a Class I felony to engage in the sale of unborn babies’ body parts, no matter the cause of death, while allowing mothers who lose their babies due to a natural miscarriage an option to donate remains to scientific research. · Direct the state’s teen pregnancy prevention program to stop contracting with organizations that perform abortions.

In addition, this year’s state budget, which was signed into law last week, makes clear that no state funds for family planning services shall be provided to organizations that offer abortions.

The very least we can do is provide some level of dignity to babies who lose their lives in an abortion. This legislation will prevent abortion providers in North Carolina from profiting from the death of unborn children.

Prohibiting ‘Sanctuary Cities’ in N.C. The Senate also tentatively passed a bill this week to ban N.C. localities from acting as ‘sanctuary cities’ that ignore federal laws against illegal immigration.

Earlier this year, national news outlets reported that the suspected murderer of a California woman was in the U.S. illegally and could have been deported, but instead was given safe harbor by a so-called ‘sanctuary city’ refusing to enforce immigration laws. And in North Carolina, a number of local governments have adopted resolutions similar to those of other ‘sanctuary cities’ across the country.

In response, the Senate legislation would prevent counties and cities statewide from enacting local ordinances that violate or fail to enforce federal immigration laws. It would also prohibit local policies forbidding law enforcement from asking about the immigration status of those they arrest or detain or sharing that information with federal authorities.

The bill would also:

In May 1998, the Free Clinic of Reidsville &Vicinity, Inc. opened its doors to a six-mile service radius in Reidsville to target those individuals who were employed and without any form of healthcare coverage. As a result of the uninsured healthcare crisis in Rockingham County, the Clinic’s Board of Directors expanded the service radius in October 2005 to incorporate the entire county and changed its name accordingly to recognize its new service population.

The Free Clinic of Rockingham County, Inc. is designed to reduce the burden placed upon hospital emergency rooms by closing the access gap in the local healthcare delivery system. By providing primary and preventative medical and dental care to this vulnerable population, Free Clinic patients experience improved health status and are able to be productive members of the workforce and provide for their families which produces a ripple effect of economic benefit across the county. Proudly, the Free Clinic of Rockingham County received the top level of free clinic accreditation in August 2011, proving quality assurance to its patients, stakeholders and funders.

About Betsy-Jeff 4-H Educational Center The Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center was dedicated in 1964 as a gift from Betsy Penn to the NCSU 4-H program in honor of her late husband Jefferson Penn. The Center’s nearly 200 acres of fields, forests, lakes and streams were given to the citizens of North Carolina by Betsy Penn, who built the facility and then donated it to North Carolina 4-H in 1964. The Outdoor Retreat and Education facility is located in Rockingham County. The Center is proud to provide research-based educational experiences that help develop and promote life skills necessary for youth to become productive members of society.

The facility provides a wide variety of Piedmont ecosystems and wildlife for the study of aquatic biology, water quality and forest ecology and wildlife habitats.

Youth also learn and experience the lifestyle of early pioneer settlers and Native American heritage. The Center is operated through N.C. State University and the College of Agriculture and Life Science.

Cyberbullying: How to address and prevent the New Generation of Bullying AlertID Provides Tips on Preventing and Dealing With Cyberbullying Eighty percent of kids regularly use cell phones and 52% report having been cyber bullied, according to Counseling Service report concerning Cyber Bullying Statistics (2014). Resulting from the increased use of smartphones and social media by our kids, cyberbullying is becoming a very common and serious issue that can result in anxiety, depression, and thoughts of suicide.

Using social media, kids are much more likely to post things that they would not say face-to-face. Messages/images can be hurtful, anonymously posted and reach a large audience in a short period of time.

AlertID, the neighborhood safety network mobile app and online program, provides up-to-date public safety alerts to members in all 50 states and offers a virtual neighborhood watch, all for free. “As an online public safety application, here at AlertID, we believe it’s important to raise awareness and help address this important issue facing our kids,” said AlertID Founder, Keli Wilson.

Ways Kids are Being Cyberbullied: Sending someone mean or threatening emails, instant messages, or text messages.

Excluding someone from an instant messenger buddy list, blocking their email for no reason, or “unfollowing” them.

Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others.

Breaking into someone’s email or instant message account to send cruel or untrue messages while posing as that person.

Creating websites to make fun of another person such as a classmate or teacher.

Using websites to rate peers as prettiest, ugliest, etc.

Talk to Kids about How to Prevent Cyberbullying: Teach kids to never open emails from someone you don’t know or from someone you know is a bully.

Tell them to never put anything online that they wouldn’t want classmates to see, even in email.

Encourage kids to always be as polite online as they are in person. Share with them to not send messages when they’re angry.

Before clicking “send,” teach them to ask themselves how they would feel if they received the message.

Teach them to not use all caps online as it is viewed as the

Rockingham County has the highest rate of adult-onset diabetes in the Triad and one of the highest in the state. That is why Cone Health has opened a clinic to help people manage diabetes.

The Cone Health Nutrition and Diabetes Management CenterReidsville is at 1107 S. Main St., Reidsville. Patients will need to be referred by area primary and specialty providers.

“We see many cases of diabetes in our hospitals and we do a great job in treating this condition. But there are few resources in our community for diabetics once they go home,” says Certified Diabetes Educator Penny Crumpton, RD, LDN. Crumpton will provide counseling, education and nutritional advice for people referred to the clinic.

The practice is expected to have 600 visits its first year.

Crumpton will also provide monthly diabetes education classes at Annie Penn Hospital.

The free classes are designed to help diabetics manage their chronic condition. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to foot and skin problems, amputations, strokes and death.

“For type 2 diabetes, which makes up about 90 percent of all diabetes, it is almost never enough to just prescribe medica-

tions,” says Gebreselassie Nida, MD, of Reidsville Endocrinology Associates. “The most important piece in managing diabetes is diabetes education, which has been largely missing in Rockingham and surrounding communities. The opening of the clinic will change the quality of life for those who are affected by diabetes.”

People wanting more information about the Cone Health Nutrition and Diabetes Management Center-Reidsville can call 336-832-3236.

Cone Health is committed to being a national leader in quality, service and cost. The Network for Exceptional Care consists of Alamance Regional Medical Center, Annie Penn Hospital, Cone Health Behavioral Health Hospital, The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, Wesley Long Hospital, Women’s Hospital, Cone Health Medical Group, MedCenter High Point, MedCenter Kernersville, MedCenter Mebane, Triad HealthCare Network and various outpatient clinics and programs.

More than 11,000 exceptional people provide exceptional care to the people of Guilford, Alamance, Rockingham, Forsyth, Caswell and Randolph counties.

TRY) 2015 Clean Water Award.

Presented annually, the award recognizes exemplary performance at water reclamation facili-

ties serving the poultry industry.

The presentation was made during USPOULTRY’s Environmental Management Seminar in Destin, Fla., and the winners were selected by a committee of industry engineers and managers and university personnel.

Keystone Foods was selected as the winner in the pretreatment category for their further processing facility in Reidsville, N.C. The Reidsville facility processes and treats an average wastewater flow of 185,000 thousand gallons per day.

Biosolids generated in the DAF unit are used by a local composting company to produce a high value soil conditioner. DAF biosolids have not been landfilled since 1999. The facility has achieved landfill reduction

through compactors with monitoring systems, recycling, using a Planet Aid bin and composting wax boxes.

Since 2008, the facility has reduced the amount of waste sent to the landfill by more than 55 percent, with the goal be landfill free by 2020. One focal point of the facility’s operation is their water reuse program. The facility is currently implementing two Six Sigma water projects involving the use of valves to restrict water and the installation of timers to shut down the process when the lines are shut down. The facility also tracks its total water usage and has completed an analysis for water availability and scarcity risk.

“The poultry industry has been a well-known leader in conserving natural resources,” said USPOULTRY chairman Sherman Miller, Cal-Maine Foods, Jackson, Miss.

"Flintrock Farm is one of Rockingham County's most beautiful landscapes," says Jenny Edwards, HorseFriends Development Director. "If you’ve ever driven along Highway 158, chances are you noticed this special place. Much of it is in conservation easement, and the farm employs some of the best farmland management practices in the State. It's a pleasure to visit Flintrock whether you're a horse rider, horse lover, or just in need of some peaceful time in the country.”

"Therapeutic riding develops a special bond between a child with disabilities and a horse," says Sharon Neely, HorseFriends President, "and helps with motor and cognitive development, promotes a sense of self-esteem, and gives kids who may not be able to participate in team sports something they can call their own."

HorseFriends provides therapeutic riding services free of charge to participants and their siblings. "We are extremely grateful to the support we receive for our programs from Flintrock Farm," says Neely.

"Because of Annette Bradsher's and Jay Lankford's support, HorseFriends has access to a lighted indoor arena for classes, as well as an indoor activities area on the farm." There are other costs, however, to keep the services going. Donations to HorseFriends Therapeutic Riding Program go directly to the needs of the horses and operation of the program.

About HorseFriends HorseFriends is a Christian ministry with a mission to help children with disabilities and their siblings to experience joy and strength through horses regardless of participants’ individual beliefs. HorseFriends designs a specific curriculum, horse interactions and a support format to address the difficulties and offer solutions to participants’ life challenges.

"Run with the Cows" Beats the Rain!

Friends of Chinqua-Penn Walking Trail's September 27 fundraiser, "Run with the Cows," was not just "ANUDDER" race.

The second in Dan River Basin Association's three-race series for 2015, it is the only one guaranteeing "MORE COWBELL"!

As antique cowbells were rung, cows freshly washed by the weekend's rains lined up near the start line to watch 70 participants take off for the trail's second annual "MOO-ving" fun run/walk.

Families, friends, and serious runners got the whole HERD together, undeterred by the day's drizzle. First on the trail were youngsters in the one-mile Kids' Fun Run. Proving they're no COWCH potatoes, Jacob Durham, William Robinson, and Ronan Robinson all completed the mile in less than 20 minutes.

Cow-Girl Sandra Fuller Williams presented the prized Cowbell Finisher's Award to each boy.

Cowbells rang again as emcee Wayne Seymour announced the start of the 5K. After two loops around the Chinqua-Penn Trail, runners and walkers reached the finish line to cheers and more ringing cowbells. The men's competition was heated, with Joshua Eleby clocking 21:23, Mark Joyce 21:29, and Montel Bryson 21:31. The top three women were Rebecca

Adcock at 26:37, Boots Vandemark at 28:13, and Sarah McGrath at 29:18-all UDDERLY AWESOME! Funds raised by the event will be used for improvements along the trail, now recognized as a National Recreation Trail.

When the trail's historic Springhouse roof was repaired this year, slate fragments that could not be reused were saved and are being decorated by local artists with birds, wildflowers, and wildlife found at the trail.

These unique works are available at Round About Way in Reidsville, providing further support for the trail. See samples at www.chinquapenntrail.org/store .

Bark For Life to take over Stoneville Memorial Park The fight against cancer has gone to the dogs as the American Cancer Society's Bark For Life event took place October 17, Originally been scheduled for October 3, but had to be rescheduled due to all of the rain and flooding. Area pooches, with owners in tow, will tood to the track to take a bite out of cancer.

Bark For Life adds a twist to the society's traditional Relay For Life event, serving as a fundraising activity to honor the care-giving qualities of canine companions while supporting the mission of the American Cancer Society.

“We were upset that we had to reschedule the event; however, we are even more excited to see everyone on Saturday. We had lots of fun games and contests planned so everyone could come out and enjoy themselves,” stated Joanna Campbell, event planner.

The event included an opening ceremony at special laps around the festival, vendors, Blessing of the Dogs, and lots of surprises before it concluded at 2 pm.

Items were raffled off and a few of the items included donations from Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Feathers ‘N Fur, as well as many other donations from supporters of the event.

"Many pet owners consider their dogs a part of their family, especially those furry friends who lend a great amount of comfort and support during a loved one's cancer battle," said Chrissy Griffin, event chair. "Bark For Life is the canine counterpart to Relay For Life, a very familyfriendly movement that celebrates our canine caregivers, just as we honor other family members who support their loved ones who are fighting cancer, during Relay For Life."

Funds raised through Bark For Life support the American Cancer Society's comprehensive cancer-fighting mission to help people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early, to help people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis, to find cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery, and to fight back against cancer by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

The college will receive $449,868 for the first year of the five-year grant, and the same amount is anticipated for each of the remaining four years. The funds will be used to hire additional staff, provide training to faculty and staff, and buy and install equipment. The grant is funded through the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III – Strengthening Institutions Program.

In its application, the college proposed the project as a strategy to overcome declining enrollments, declining funding, and insufficient technology infrastructure, staffing, and expertise needed to build its online program offerings.

RCC President Dr. Mark Kinlaw explained, “Distance education or online education is rapidly evolving into the typical means by which many students receive all of or at least a portion of their education. RCC needs to expand its offerings in order to stimulate enrollment and provide students with the options they desire. The grant will help RCC keep pace with the changing trends in higher education.”

The grant application was written by a team from RCC who worked with a consultant, Ramona Munsell & Associates, in Rogers, Arkansas. The team included Suzanne Rohrbaugh, vice president for academic affairs; Tony Gunn, associate vice president for facilities and external affairs; Kevin Osborne, associate vice president for institutional effectiveness; Celeste Allis, dean of arts and sciences; Kim Shireman, associate dean of learning resources; and Curtis Dunlap, distance learning specialist.

That company is Aging, Disability, and Transit Services of Rockingham County”, says Christopher B. Gorham, VP of Marketing & Development for Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina, Inc. The ADTS Public Access Transportation services, RCATS and the newer skat fixed bus routes, played an integral role in helping the community access Goodwill community resources and services, GED programs, and employment opportunities.

Goodwill noted that through the skat system, 50 people that were transported to Goodwill training in Eden and 65 people transported in Reidsville are now employed - transportation and access equates to jobs in our community. Cathy Powers, ADTS Interim Executive Director said “ADTS is honored to be recognized as Goodwill’s Employer of the Year. Although our missions are different, our organizations share common values and goals to improve the lives of the people that we serve. Through our various collaborations we are able to expand our reach and maximize our efforts in meeting our respective missions.”

ADTS is a private nonprofit agency dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals by empowering them to achieve optimum health and well-being, independence and participation in the community. This mission is accomplished through providing an array of community services including Home Care (CAP-DA, PCS, Home & Community Care Block Grant, Private Pay), Meals on Wheels (United Way supported), Meals With Friends Nutrition Sites, LEAF Center Adult Day Care/Day Health, RCATS Public Access Transportation, skat bus transportation, Volunteer Services, Companion Care, Family Caregiver Support, Center for Active Retirement and Advocacy and Referral Services.

Madison/Mayodan & Stoneville 5K Walk/Run planned for LOT 2540 Teresa Belthrop-Hairston LOT 2540 Inc. Board Member

Feeding the hungry is our mission and want our community to know about it!

We challenge the runners among you to join us in our November 14 5K Walk/Run that will be held in Mayodan, NC. We especially want to get the word out to those we serve from all over Rockingham County.

Great things are happening at LOT 2540 Inc. and the new partnership with Second Harvest is certainly one of them.

"The recent loss of two food banks in Rockingham

County left a void that LOT 2540 wants to fill by having the needed food and supplies available to help people who are hungry, financially struggling and in need of assistance. With that goal in mind, LOT 2540 has formed a new partnership with Second Harvest and is planning its first annual Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run on November 14, 2015 to raise funds to feed the hungry in our community."

Please contact, Martin Roberts, LOT 2540 Inc.'s Executive Director for more information or to set up an interview.(martinroberts@lot2540.co m, 336.447.3873)

Grogan

Grogan Park Officially Opens On October 25th, friends and family of John E. Grogan gathered on the grounds of Eden City Hall to officially open the John E. Grogan Park. With music, special speakers and the unveiling of the Grogan signage, guests reminisced about Grogan and his contributions to the City of Eden.

The crowd gathered to honor who served the citizens of Eden for nearly 28 years of public service and was in the process of wrapping up his eighth year as mayor when he passed away.

Born and raised near the Boulevard, he was often called “Eden's biggest cheerleader".

His efforts aided industries in locating in Eden, including Miller Brewing Company, AC Furniture and Guildan Activewear.

In addition to his extensive community involvement, Grogan was honored as Edens citizen of the year, received a Wal-mart Community Citizenship award, was named a Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow, and in February of 2013 was a recipient of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of the highest honors a governor can bestow on a North Carolina citizen.

Paid entirely by donations from citizens, not with tax dol-

The hunger statistics in Rockingham County are increasing and with the recent news of major employer closings, layoffs and the potential impact on related businesses, we expect even more of our neighbors will need help with securing fresh, healthy food.

Thanks so much for your interest and action to alert the Triad to this dilemma and to create awareness that LOT 2540 Inc. is finding creative ways to make a difference for the hungry.

Why Hay Bales? You could

Developed as a partnership between the Downtown Mayodan Merchants Association and the Town of Mayodan, there are over two dozen hay bale sculptures around Town. Last year, we had a giant Sp-HAYder, a Pup-HAY Dog, a TurkHAY, even a HAY-Crow! So who knows what BALE of an idea folks will think of this year.

We hope you enjoy viewing all the sculptures. Be sure to cast a ballot for your favorite sculpture at Town Hall by October 23rd.

And please stop by all the sponsoring businesses and thank them for their community spirit and creative designs.

Coming in November, audiences can see the characters from a popular story come to life on the stage at Rockingham Community College as Earl Hamner’s “The Homecoming” makes its premiere with the Theatre Guild of Rockingham County (TGRC).

“The Homecoming” is remembered as the 1971 television film that spawned the Emmy-winning CBS series “The Waltons” that ran for a decade.

This stage version is adapted from the original novel by Earl Hamner Jr., which follows characters he first created for his earlier book, Spencer’s Mountain.

Theatre Guild veteran Jon Young has wanted to direct this play for several years. “It has always been special for me,” he said. “I grew up watching ‘The Waltons’ as many people did, and I’m excited to bring this original holiday story to Rockingham County audiences.”

“The Homecoming: A Christmas Story” tells the story of a 15-year-old boy whose father is late arriving home on a snowy Christmas Eve in 1933.

While his siblings, mother and grandparents keep vigil, the young man goes in search of his father. Along the way, he experi-

Appreciation vs Gratitude Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the whole year. It is a speacial day set aside to celebrate all that I have to be grateful for.

I used to think that being grateful was important. And I still do. But I have changed my daily Gratitude practice to a daily Appreciation practice.

What's the difference? BIG in my mind.

Gratitude is good. But it is inactive. What I mean is, it doesn't carry as much energy or stamina as Appreciation.

Appreciation is active because it is more engaging and carries with it more energy.

Let me give you some examples: A) Gratitude is like being grateful for food. Appreciation is appreciating the life giving nourishment it provides, or the delicious taste that provides an experience of B) I'm Grateful for beautiful flowers. But I Appreciate the opportunity to be surrounded by their beauty and fragrance. And I appreciate how they beautify my environment, make it more welcoming.

C) I'm Grateful for my husband.

But I Appreciate the fact he is a great provider, he listens to me. I

Heating & Air Conditioning Inc.

Appreciate that he has a great sense of humor which makes me laugh Appreciation delves deeper into the Why of Gratitude.

Appreciation has more power. It recognizes myself as a co-creator of my experience and I'm engaging with something. It helps me to engage with life more.

There is value in really differentiating between appreciation and gratitude.

I can be grateful for my body. But how can I appreciate my body? I can be grateful for a person. But what are the things about that person that I appreciate?

So what and who are you grateful for today? How can you take that gratitude to an appreciation level? This Thanksgiving, and every day, contact the people you are grateful for your life.

Call them. Send them a note. Let them know how much you appreciate them and why you appreciate them. Let them know all the things you appreciate about them.

Appreciation lands differently then gratitude. Get a partner and practice the difference.

Saying it out loud and see how that feels.

Because We are not used to receiving appreciation, it can feel odd and even vulnerable to give and receive appreciation. In my workshops I have one exercise that really allows the atten-

dees to experience fully accepting appreciation.

So basically, there is difference between appreciation and gratitude, Appreciation is more of a relationship. It's not projected at something. It becomes a two way relationship.

I'm grateful for you. More importantly, I appreciate you being in my life, that you take the time to read this and that you spread your gifts in your own unique way, and Yes. You Matter. Own Your Value by Appreciating Yourself.

Spread That to Others Around.

It's All About You. And It's About Being In Touch In Life.

“My hope for this play is that we have captured something of the spirit of this heartwarming story through the talents of our hardworking cast and crew,” said director Young, “and that audiences will agree that there is nothing like live theatre to enter-

ences a series of hazardous, heartwarming and humorous adventures that include a rascally thief, a singing preacher, and two elderly lady bootleggers.

TGRC’s production brings to life this family favorite with humor, drama, and lots of heart.

The cast of “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story” rehearses a scene. Kathy Glendenning as Olivia, with her children, await news of her husband.

Rockingham County’s brand new Single Stream Curbside Recycling Program is almost here! Recently, production workers in Rockingham County began assembling recycling carts for the program, so most are ready for distribution.

The recycling carts began being distributed to participating recycling customers Oct. 26th and will continue for approximately 16 business days,

depending upon weather. The carts will go out with a plastic baggie to include: 1. Rockingham County specific information, contact info, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 2. A refrigerator magnet with what can and cannot be put in the cart, along with a space to write your pickup day on it.

3. A schedule of pickup days for Waste Management customers.

The first day of collections for the new Curbside Recycling Program is Monday, Nov 30th.

A recent Curbside Recycling Kickoff summarized the details emphasized in community educational materials and billboards encouraging citizens to “DO YOUR PART, THROW IT IN THE CART!” Here is a link to the Kickoff: https://youtu.be/0WrcFPV_2Dc Curbside recycling partner Waste Management provided monetary support for the educa-

tion/information campaign to help citizens understand that: 1. All recycling materials will be collected in the same cart.

2. No separation will be required.

3. The new service will make recycling easier than ever!

Rockingham County Engineering & Public Utilities Director Ronald Tate explained the newSingle Stream Curbside Recycling Service in a 30minute video with Public Information Officer Mable Scott at this link: http://www.rceno.com/RCENO/s eptember-2015-communityaccents-rockingham-county-government/ The interview also airs on Rockingham Community College's public access Channel 2, on a Rockingham County Radio podcast, and on RockinghamUpdate at www.rceno.com

Tennis Talk

By Shelby Rhyne, Executive Director of RC Tennis Association

Happy Birthday RC Tennis!

We can hardly believe that in our first official year, Rockingham County Tennis Association has introduced the game of tennis to 4300 young community members and families at over 145 events across the county.

THANK YOU to our volunteer coaches, interns, Board of Directors, community partners and sponsors USTA, Reidsville Area Foundation, Xerox Corporation and Di'lishi Yogurt - and especially to Coach Bitrus Istifanus and Jackie Cantrell for making this a successful first year. We agree with Katrina Adams, USTA President, "There's something in tennis for everyone", right here in Rockingham County NC. HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR FIRST YEAR FOUR new playground courts are painted on the black top behind Williamsburg Elementary School.

SIX Rockingham County tennis courts have blended lines to modify the size of the court

for players age 10 & under.

FIFTEEN volunteers, parents and coaches attended the On-Court Coach Youth Tennis Workshop with Butch Staples at the Western Rockingham YMCA indoor courts in Mayodan this June.

FIFTYFOUR junior USTA members played in our first two seasons

of Junior Team Tennis on the 8 courts at Jaycee Park in Reidsville.

TWO HUNDRED rackets and balls went home with young Kids Tennis Club players at five summer day camps.

THREE HUNDRED youth tennis rackets have found their way into Rockingham County

QUALITY CLEANERS a four-year degree and graduates who can be competitive in the workforce.”

A strong supporter of business and industry, Dr. Kinlaw expects the college to keep businesses and industries in the county vibrant. “Instilling a level of confidence that we can meet workforce needs will go a long way toward attracting future business and industry to Rockingham County," he said.

Having worked in the community college system for 27 years, Dr. Kinlaw believes very strongly in the purpose and accomplishments of community colleges.

“We serve over 750,000 students every year through our community college system, and I believe we change lives every day,” Dr. Kinlaw said. “I hate to think about where we would be as a state without our community college system. As open-door institutions, we open doors for students and provide opportunities that they would not have otherwise. I am honored to be part of a system that makes such an incredible impact."

His installation, he continued, is not about him but the opportunity to celebrate the founding of the college, what it has done for Rockingham County, and what it will continue to do. “I hope people will come out to help us celebrate," he said.

To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the North Carolina Utilities Commission (Commission) ordered a 743 Area Code Overlay for the area currently assigned to the 336 area code.

The new 743 area code will be “overlaid” over the same geographical area as the current 336 area code so that two area codes, 743 and 336, will be assigned to the area, generally covering the Piedmont, including the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Kernersville, Burlington, North Wilkesboro, Roxboro and Asheboro.

New Dialing Pattern Residential and business customers assigned to the existing 336 area code should prepare for the introduction of the new 743 area code. Use of an overlay area code requires that customers must dial 10 digits (area code + 7-digit local telephone number) to complete local calls within their area code calling area. To help customers prepare for this change and ensure a smooth transition, beginning October 24, 2015, customers may begin placing local calls by using the new 10-digit local dialing pattern.

Customers may continue to use 7-digit local dialing until April 22, 2016, when that option will come to an end. Effective on April 23, 2016, all local calls must be placed using the 10-digit telephone number (336 or 743 plus the 7-digit local telephone number). Beginning May 23, 2016, customers in the 336 area code region requesting new serv-

ice, adding an additional line, or in some cases moving their service, may be assigned new numbers using either 336 or the new 743 area code.

Facts About the New Area Code The most important facts that consumers and businesses need to know about the upcoming 743 area code overlay are:  Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change, but may if you move your service.  You will need to dial the area code + 7-digit local telephone number for all local calls.  For billing purposes, what is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed.  You will continue to dial 1+ area code + 7-digit local telephone number for all long distance calls.  The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.  You can still dial just three digits to reach 911.  If 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 or 811 are currently available in your community, you will still dial these codes with just three digits.

• Planning for the New Area Code Customers should identify their telephone number as a ten digit number (area code + 7-digit local telephone number), and include the area code when giving the number to their friends, family, business associates and business customers, etc.

Customers should ensure that all services, automatic dial-

ing equipment, applications, software, or other types of equipment recognize the new 743 area code as a valid area code. Some examples are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions.

Be sure to check your business stationery, website, advertising materials, personal checks, and your personal or pet ID tags to ensure the area code is included in your telephone number.

Remember that all local calls must be programmed using 10digits and you need to add “1” for all long distance calls.

For more information, please visit your service provider’s website or the North Carolina Utilities Commission’s website at www.ncuc.net. If customers have any questions regarding information provided in this release, please call your service provider at the customer service number on your bill.

The Racetrack XIV

New Life for an Old Track

By Darrell Meade Gregory

A large size crowd watched as Ray Shropshire battled another Draper resident, Bill Hyler, for the lead on the small, round, dirt track. At the end, Shropshire overpowered last year’s 1958 Tri-City Micro Midget Club champion Billy Hyler. The small go-kart track had been the only racing going on in the area for the past few years but the winds

of change were blowing again.

At this Easter Sunday race, the spectators talked excitedly about the old racetrack, which was located on the next road over. It was being bought by a group of men from Virginia. All were talking about the track being reopened after five years.

After completing the sale of property beside the racetrack to

the Virginia Solite Corporation, track owner John East, Jr. was able to completely get out of the racing business. East was involved in more real estate deals and in his new soda shop located across the street from his pool room. While making the most of his profits from the Solite deal, East did have a few setbacks. East lost his seat on the Draper City Council as well as having a falling out with his business associate and track publicity director, Emerson Manuel.

In spite of this, East still prospered and now there was serious interest in his closed racetrack.

Alfred “Al” Lillard of Cascade, Virginia had been eyeing the track for some time. Just over five years before, Lillard was running the No. 88 car in the Dixie Racing Circuit. Lillard, being an above average mechanic, owned the car and maintained it well enough to place up-front.

With many local tracks closing in the mid-50s, only Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC survived. In 1957, South Boston Speedway in Virginia was constructed and racing started its cycle again. Lillard observed that there were no tracks operating between South Boston and Winston-Salem. He was a man with an active mind and a vision that was churning on how to obtain the old Draper Speedway.

Lillard ran a service station on Highway 58 close to Axton, VA. Knowing that he did not have the resources to pull off the purchase of the racetrack by himself, the thirty-six year old looked to three of his friends as partners in this adventure.

Lillard’s wife, Lottie confirmed that, “He was the instigator,” in the deal to buy the old speedway. Lillard started negotiations with John East and realized that he would be able to pull the transaction off.

Fortunately for Lillard, two of his friends were over ten years’ younger and avid race fans. Hunter “Buck” Long of Cascade, VA and Nelson Hyler of Danville, VA can trace their racing roots back to sneaking into races under the cover of hay in the back of a ton Ford truck while they were in high school.

School chum, Bill Mangum drove this truck into racetracks carrying his contraband passengers to watch his father Gordon race. Both young men looked up to Lillard, so convincing Long and Hyler to throw in with him was probably the easiest part in the plan. Al Lillard was one who could get things done and give a good talk about getting it done.

The fourth man involved was about the same age as

Lillard. He was Garland T. Mitchell of Ringgold, Virginia.

Mitchell took the job as pit director to ease the work load on Lillard . His wife, Maxine, would later be a formidable driver in the powder puff races designed for women.

John East had made good on his Imperial Farms investment when he sold most of it to the Virginia Solite Corporation and he still got to keep his racetrack. The track was grown up with vegetation and the untreated wooden stands had not been maintained since they were built ten years before.

However, the paved track was in very good shape. East had no intention of venturing back into racing and selling the track was just icing on the cake. Working together, John East and Lillard struck a deal. East probably aided in the financing of the track to finalize the purchase.

The energetic Al Lillard worked tirelessly to secure the contract and on May 8, 1959 the ink was signed. Pulling off the purchase of the track was a major accomplishment for these four men, but now reality had arrived as it was paramount to restore the track to operating condition as rapidly as possible.

Although Lillard had no experience at running an operation this large, he directed repairs on the grandstands and infield. Being jack-of-all trades, Lillard put his talents to use and the enthusiastic work of Mitchell, Long and Hyler quickly put the track back in action. The grandstands were in terrible shape from ten years of weathering. New boards were substituted where needed in the stands and other structures. In a little over a month, this group of bold entrepreneurs scheduled the first race on June 14. Renaming the racetrack, Bi-State Speedway— a new era had begun.

Al Lillard, being the track director, was quick to secure the services of experienced track personal. The veteran scorer from Danville, Pete East was back at what was his calling.

George Minter, who flagged the first race at Draper Speedway, would now flag the first race at the reborn track. Emerson Manuel had again squeezed into being publicity director, the same title he held at Draper

Speedway. A new face was added when Lewis Compton signed on to be the announcer.

The addition of Lewis Compton was a good move.

Compton was a well known radio announcer from Martinsville, VA. He also was

the announcer at Bowman Gray and was known there as the “Mouth of the South.” Later on in his career, Compton put in many good years at the

Martinsville Speedway.

Al Lillard was a “car” man for he took steps to bring in the racers and the supporting paying crowds. He dropped the admissions price from two dollars to a dollar and a half. He scheduled a full program of the sportsman and amateur classes, seven events which comprised 105 laps of racing. Lillard had future plans for new events that were designed to keep the crowds energized. Most of the wellknown Draper Speedway drivers were back, along with a new generation of racers showing up.

The crowds flocked in to observe the first race at the track in five years. There were a fair number of cars showing up as there were no minor races in this area on Sunday. It may not have been a full capacity event, but it was promising and all had a good time and vowed to return.

The newly formed Bi-State group had pulled off a near impossible event in record time— bringing racing back to the Tri-Cities. The only question that was on the fans’ mind when they were leaving that day was,” Who in the world is Burrhead Nantz?”

Toddler:

Psychiatry students were in their Emotional Extremes class.

“Let’s set some parameters,” the professor said. “What’s the opposite of joy?” he asked one student. “Sadness,” he replied. “The opposite of depression?” he asked another student. “Elation,” he replied. “The opposite of woe?” the prof asked a young woman from Texas.

The Texan replied, “Sir, I believe that would be giddyup.”

I wish I could sleep but my stupid ADHD kicks in and well basically, one sheep, two sheep, cow, turtle, duck, Old MacDonald had a farm, hey Macarena!

Identify A woman wrote a check at a department store. “I’ll have to ask you to identify yourself,” the clerk said. The customer took a small mirror from her handbag, looked into it keenly, and pronounced, “Yes. That’s definitely me.”

“Oh, and It Doesn’t Have Arms or Legs.”

A woman called the Colorado State Division of Wildlife regarding a snake in her backyard. “Can you tell me what kind it is?” she asked.

“Can you describe it?” I asked.

“Yes,” she said. “It’s long and thin.”

Couple A snowman couple were celebrating their sons birthday. The Mother brought in a carrot cake made up beautifully with white and blue icing. The son cut himself a real big piece and took a big bite promptly spitting it out and screaming “Mom this is disgusting it tastes like boogers!”

“Well what do you expect?” Questioned the Snow Mother.

“You asked for carrot cake!”

How to wash dishes: 1 - Place in hot soapy water 2 - Tell yourself they need to soak 3 - Go watch TV

The Place to be since ‘63!

To all the good folks in Rockingham County, I, Buddy Smith, who owns VC Ice & CCI on Business 220 in Mayodan for the last fifty years, would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone that I also own Gone Green Recycling at the Old Feed Mill on Water Street in Madison.

I do appreciate all of the people who recycle with us. I would like to thank Rockingham County for, hopefully, benefitting me by making everyone more aware of the importance of recycling. My understanding is that along with another company, they are putting out new containers which will cost you to put your recycling goods in.

So we would like to let everyone know that we have recycling bags to put your aluminum cans in and there-by get some extra money. These bags can be picked up at the Sheet metal Shop or at the Old Mill Gone Green on Water Street. If you have other metal recyclable items you can bring them by the Old Mill and recycle with us and benefit by getting paid to recycle.

With us YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET PAID. If you have larger items that need to be hauled away, we will be glad to work with you on pick up.

Let them have the glass, plastic and garbage and bring the metals to us so YOU GET PAID. And please remember we are still in the Sheet Metal, Gutter, Roofing, Heating and Air and Coleman dealers.

We appreciate your business!

Thank you Rockingham County.

my story, or history, to a pastor. His response was as follows: “Wow, Greg! That’s quite an exceptional journey you’ve been on, one with greater highs and lows than most people experience.”

I will say more about these “highs” and “lows” in future articles, but at this point I offer a few snapshots so that you can become at least initially acquainted with me.

Snapshots of “highs”: - raised in a caring and secure Christian home environment - married at 22 years of age and blessed with two children (both born at Morehead Hospital!)

- graduated with honors from Asbury University with a major in Bible - graduated with honors from Reformed Theological Seminary, receiving the Senior Award for Outstanding Leadership and Academic Achievement - served as the Student Assistant to a Professor of New Testament while in seminary - pastored churches for about 17 years and was better compensated financially than most pastors - formed several wonderful friendships along the way - and one more paradoxical “high”: the “lows” themselves, for which I have learned to become grateful, in the midst of which I began to learn important lessons, and from which I have been rescued, liberated, and am being healed Snapshots of “lows”: - divorced after 22 years of marriage - struggled with an addiction to alcohol - suffered mild stroke from acute alcohol poisoning (yes, it got that bad) - became homeless and lived on the streets of Dayton, OH for a time (homeless shelter) - lost all assets - I mean EVERYTHING - except for some clothes, a computer, and a box of personal memorabilia - lost many friends (couldn’t blame them!)

- fell into a deep depression that virtually paralyzed me After listing these “highs” and “lows,” I’m compelled to underscore a final “high” for which I am profoundly grateful: parents who welcomed back from the “far country” the lost and wandering prodigal son!

After I resigned from my last pastorate about 10 years ago (summer of 2005), I went

through an extremely dark period that eventually resulted in my questioning everything I had been taught in my Christian home environment, in Sunday School and church as a child and teenager, in college and seminary (especially about the Bible and the Christian faith), and, in fact, everything I had taught and preached from the pulpit when I was pastoring churches. It was a time of profound soul-searching and earnest truth-seeking.

(Again, I will say more about this dark period from time to time in future pieces.)

My quest included studying the world’s major religions (especially Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism and Islam), certain Native American traditions, and various expressions of New Age spirituality. I already had an in-depth understanding of Christianity as I had been taught it.

My personal quest also involved examining a number of sacred texts from different religious traditions and studying the overall message of the Bible in more depth than I ever had.

Further, it included reading the writings of authors and contemplating the teachings of “spiritual guides” who themselves wrote no books (for instance, Buddha and Jesus) but whose words were written down by others. I have read a good amount by "spiritual teachers" of both the past and present.

This brief history introduced, I now proceed to underscore my purpose in writing this column. Simply stated, my desire and objective is be an instrument through which God’s healing power may flow to people who have known – and perhaps even now are experiencing – what it is to be broken and in need of healing. The truth is that each one of us, to a greater or lesser degree, has been, and is, broken, and that for various reasons.

Saint Paul, in the New Testament, speaks of God as “the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Well, the God of all comfort is also the God of all healing…who heals us in and from our brokenness… so that we may be used by him to heal those who are in any way broken...with the healing with which we ourselves have been and are being! - healed by God. The journey of the past 10

years has proven to be the most spiritually rewarding and enriching chapter in the story of my life to this point, even though it has involved (as you will come to see if you read my articles) darkness, trial, defeat, sorrow, shame, and deep pain.

It was Rumi (a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic) who said, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” C. S. Lewis (a 20th-century novelist, poet, essayist, lay theologian, and Christian apologist) once commented, “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” I concur with Rumi and Lewis!

In these columns I will be offering gleanings from my life, and especially from the last 10 years of my spiritual pilgrimage.

I intend to communicate from the heart and, hopefully, to the heart - or better yet - from the soul...to the soul. My hope is that the gleanings might prove helpful to people who’ve known, and maybe even right now are experiencing, wounds, pain, brokenness, defeat, sorrow, even depression.

Maybe many in Eden can experience healing through my humble offerings.

Healing is possible. Healing is available. And it can start right now!

"When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing." ~ Rabindranath Tagore P.S. I am from Bellefontaine, OH and now reside in Eden, NC (if the latter weren’t obvious!) I have two children: a daughter, 28, who is in her final year of medical school at the University of AZ, and a son, 27, who is a line supervisor at an automotive plant in Lewisburg, TN, where he resides with his wife and their two sons. I enjoy reading, nature (especially walks in nature), animals (German Shepherd lover!), gardening, country life, and, not least, a SIMPLE life! (“Simplify, simplify!” said Thoreau. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” wrote Leonardo da Vinci.)

P.P.S. I have my own painting business (painting houses, places of business, etc.) and work parttime at The Railroad Café in Draper.

Roundabout the Eden Public Library Katherine Seaver, Branch Manager of the Eden Public Library

Now that we have all recovered from our Halloween scares, we’d like to welcome in the month of November. The Eden Public Library is once again bustling with great programs and “new” materials to entice you to come in and “check us out”; pun still intended. For children, we have a Toddler story time every Thursday at 10:30 am. Every Tuesday at 10:30 am, children ages 1-5 can come and play with Legos and a wooden train set during our Stem Building club.

Children ages 6-12 can come after school on Tuesdays at 4:00 pm for our STEAM Building club. On Monday, November 2nd and Thursday, November 5th from 7-7:45 there will be Pajama story times. So kids, wear your Jammies, make a craft, have some treats, hear a story told by Santa’s sister and have your picture taken with Kris Moose. A matinee of the family friendly movie “Wall·E” will be shown on Saturday, November 7th at 1 pm. There are family friendly events the second Saturday of every month.

On November 12th at 10:30 am come to “Art Time”, the kids of all ages will create a holiday painting – all arts supplies are provided; there is a $20 charge for this event and registration is required. On November 19th at 4 pm, there will be an opportunity for kids ages 8-12 to learn computer coding. The family friendly movie “Wall·E” will be shown again on Monday, November 23rd at 5:30 pm.

The teens and young adults can participate in a “mystery” craft on Thursday, November 2nd at 4 pm. Please register so we will know how many to expect. Teens are invited to meet as part of the Teen Library Council on November 12th at 4:30 pm. Be a part of the creative planning of teen programs then stay on and join us for the movie “Hachi: A dog’s tale” at 5:30 pm.

Let’s not forget about the adults. This month there will be three book discussions here at the library. The first one meets the first Thursday of every month at 5:30 pm. Adults gather and share whatever books they have been reading. On Monday, November 9th at 6:30 pm, the library in partnership with Rockingham Reads will be discussing this year’s book, “To Kill a Mockingbird”. On the fourth Wednesday of every month, we have a morning book club at 11 am. This month the book to be discussed will be “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah. You can pick up a copy of the book at the circulation desk up until the day of the meeting. The photography club

For the fun of it Broke If robbers broke into my house and search for money. I’d just laugh and search with them.

will be meeting on Saturday, November 21st from 10:30 am 12:30 pm. There are computer classes on Basic Internet, Basic Computer skills, and our Electronic resources. Please contact us for dates, times and to register for the classes.

On Monday, October 12th at 5 pm, we pulled the winning ticket for our Red, White and Blue crocheted lap throw. The winner was a very excited Kimberly Newsome. The raffle raised $70 for the Friends of the Eden Library which sponsors many of our programs and events. If you would like to join our friends group stop by the circulation desk, fill out the membership form, and make your contribution.

We have received many “new” items this month so don’t forget to come in and “check them out”. I thought I would highlight one of our electronic databases every month and give you an idea what is available on our web page at www.rcpl.org.

The database for this month is “Pronunciator”. This database is a fun and free way for the user to learn any of 80 different languages. As a first time user, enter email address and if certificates of completion are desired enter Full Name. The system will give a user name and password. Please write these down for future use, they can be changed later. Launch “Pronunciator!!!” Once the program loads, select the “I Speak” language and the “I Want to Learn” language. At this point the language program will run and once the user selects the type of learner they are the program begins. If you need help using or accessing this database or any other, you can either call us at 336-623-3168 or visit us at the library.

Remember if you have items (electronics, books, arts and crafts or sewing machines or materials….) you no longer want/need anymore see if your local library could use them. We have many programs that recycle items into new and creative things.

The library will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th for Veteran’s Day and Thursday, November 26 through Saturday, November 28th for Thanksgiving. Don’t forget to honor our Veterans and we hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive returns The Western Rockingham Chamber of Commerce asks you to join them in their third annual Thanksgiving food drive. Lot 2540 and Walmart will provide a box of food for a family in need including a turkey and all the"fixins!" Each box will have a tag with the name of the company or person, whose generosity made this gift possible. Lot 2540 will distribute them on Saturday, November 21st. WRCC will provide the turkeys.

Thankful for New Beginnings.

2 Corinthians 5:17 A young lady sits on the bench in front of the drug store crying with her head in her hands. She cannot return home because she has just been beaten.

She doesn’t know what to do because she feels like she needs comfort and to calm her nerves.

She contemplates busting in the door to the drug store and stealing prescription meds to cope because she also struggles with an opiate addiction. She wants help for her addiction but doesn’t know where to turn, who to call or who will help her.

The Department of Social Services show up at a home at 3:30 in the afternoon to remove three siblings from their home because their mom is an addict and their needs have been neglected. They were sent to school hungry and dirty. A report was made and there has been an investigation. This mom has called numerous times to multiple programs ready and willing to get help because her heart’s desire is to be a great mom and to care for her children. No one has a bed for her and no one can direct her to a program that does has an available bed so she delves deeper into her addiction, feeling like there is no option for her for help.

A young husband and his two babies lose a wife and a mother to her addiction to heroine. She loves her family but can’t seem to get past the bondage or out of the spiral of this addiction. She takes her own life. Now a husband and his babies bury a wife and mother.

A young woman who has an alcohol addiction because she struggles with PTSD from her service in the military loses her children and harms another family in a drinking and driving accident. She goes to prison and there finds Jesus and surrenders her life to Him. She starts working a program offered in the prison for inmates. She gets herself together. She gains some clean time and gets her children back. She recovers and begins to help other women find freedom from addiction and to build coping skills to deal with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome).

These are just a few real life examples of the scenarios faced daily with individuals who deal with the bondage of addiction. I was once one of those individuals. Those examples are not my story but my story is similar in that I dealt with the bondage of addiction and the consequences and results that came from that addiction. I lost my children for a while and had lost all hope for a good life or freedom from my addiction. Almost ten years ago God delivered me from that addiction. He opened the door for me to go to a discipleship program for women to get recovery.

Not only did I learn how to live free from my addiction but was also disciple and taught how to live based on biblical principles.

Today it is my desire to help other individuals gain freedom from the bondage of addiction and teach then to live successful

and fruitful lives free from that addiction, to add value to the community, to be a benefactor to civilization and to teach them how to teach their children how to live lives free in Christ and free from addiction.

Genesis Ministries exists to provide a new beginning for individuals who are bound by addictions. Through instruction, modeling, and a Christ-centered atmosphere students will be set free to live healthy spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional lives. By using Biblical principles to disciple our students, we pray that they will learn to find their value and help from the Lord. We will incorporate Teen Challenge curriculum into our program and will accept individuals ages 18 and up. We eventually desire to have a juvenile portion of our program.

We exist not only to help individuals gain freedom from addiction but to build coping skills to deal with the results of their addiction and to eventually gain freedom from those consequences as well. We feel that

Genesis Ministries of Rockingham County will benefit our community, our county, our state, our country and our world.

We feel that if we disciple individuals and help them gain freedom from their addiction then they too will have a heart to help and give others what was given to them. With this ripple effect taking place to reach of this ministry will go far beyond Rockingham County. We have received our tax exemption approval from the

IRS and are now moving towards opening the residential portion of our program. Genesis Ministries is a long term recovery program for individuals who struggle with any addiction.

We are a Christ centered organization so will need donors, volunteers, and other people who have special gifts, skills and qualities that they would like to use to contribute to our ministry. To become involved with Genesis Ministries in any fashion I can be

contacted at 336-344-2525 or email me at genesisministriesforwomen@gmail.com.

I can answer any questions you may have. I would also love to come and share with your church or organization about Genesis Ministries, my testimony, my experience working in this field and my training and education. I am available to schedule times to visit your church, organization or group.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall Eden plans to convert to chloramines this month

By Dena Reid, Water Plant Superintendent

In a continuing effort to improve water quality, the City of Eden will be making a modification of their current water treatment process. The new process involves switching the disinfectant product from free chlorine to chloramines in order to comply with new federal regulatory standards. Chloraminated water is safe for drinking, bathing, cooking and all other general uses that we have for water every day. However, there are three groups that need to take special precautions when using chloraminated water: medical/ kidney dialysis, fish and amphibian owners, and specialized industries.

Disinfection is critical to protect the public from diseasecausing microorganisms, by lowering the exposure rates to infectious diseases. Throughout the years, chlorine has been extremely successful in protecting water from harmful bacterial and viral contamination.

However, when chlorine reacts with organic and inorganic materials in the water it can form new compounds known as disinfection by-products (DBPs).

These DBPs, called Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs), are suspected carcinogens, when present at elevated levels and consumed over a long period of time. New drinking water regulations require utilities to maintain lower concentrations of DBPs, lower bacterial counts or coliform occurrences, and maintain better disinfectant residuals throughout the distribution system. The switch to chloramines should minimize the formation

of DBPs present in drinking water and provide a more stable disinfectant residual.

Chloramines are a disinfectant used to treat drinking water.

They are formed by mixing chlorine with ammonia at carefully controlled levels. Similar to chlorine, chloramines are effective at killing harmful bacteria and other germs and have been used in the United States for many years.

Also similar to chlorine, chloramines can harm kidney dialysis patients during the dialysis process if the chloramines are not removed before entering the bloodstream. Chloramines can be removed by one of two methods: a carbon filter that contains a high quality granular activated carbon, or water treatment products that neutralize chloramines. If you are using chlorinated water or chloraminated water and have any medical issues, please contact a physician or your home dialysis service company for proper water treatment recommendations to help you make the necessary modification to the treatment equipment. Chlorinated and chloraminated water is safe for kidney dialysis patients to drink. During the digestive process, chlorine and chloramine are metabolized before reaching the bloodstream. The local kidney dialysis centers have said they’re already prepared for the change since the machines they use have already been designed to remove both chlorine and chloramine from water due to its increased prevalence in other parts of the country.

If you have a fish tank,

please make sure that the chemicals or filters that you are using are designed for use in water that has been treated with chloramines. As with chlorine, chloramines can be toxic to fish.

You may also need to change the type of filter that you use for the fish tank.

Businesses and industries that use water in any manufacturing process for food or beverage preparation, commercial laundering operations, laboratory procedures, seafood handling or any other process in which water characteristics must be carefully controlled need to be aware of the change in our water disinfection. The conversion to chloramines may require companies to adjust or upgrade their current filtration and treatment system.

Businesses should contact their equipment supplier, equipment manufacturer, or other suppliers to determine if there is a need.

The date for the conversion is Nov. 10. During the conversion you may notice an odor.

Once the conversion is complete, the odor will have dissipated. At all times during the conversion the water will still be safe to drink, cook with and use for all of your everyday water needs.

If you have any questions, call me at 336-627-1009, ext.

131.

Morrison Bethea, rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The chapter became inactive during the stresses of the war years. In 1947 the State Regent, Miss Gertrude Carraway came to Reidsville with the expressed purpose of reorganizing the chapter. The Chapter has continued since that time.

Serena Hendrix Krohn is celebrating 50 years of service with the William Bethell DAR. She has been our member since 1965. She lives in Illinois & Florida but has supported our Chapter in many ways. Her mother, Mrs. Alta McWilliams Hendrix, held several offices in our chapter until her death.
