A sure sign autumn has arrived: band competition in Eden! The Pride of Morehead Band Festival will be held Saturday, Oct. 11 at Morehead High School’s Panther Stadium. This is the third season the school has hosted the event sponsored by the Morehead Band Boosters and the City of Eden. The festival will feature talented bands from North Carolina and Virginia in marching competition. The bands are judged by professionals based on their talent and showmanship in the categories of drum major, colorguard, percussion, visual performance and general effect. The first band is scheduled to take the field at 3 p.m. Sean McClure, Morehead High School Director of Bands, encourages the public to come out and participate. “Not only are you getting an afternoon of great entertainment, you are supporting music education in our schools,” McClure said. “Students involved in music programs learn discipline, teamwork, integrity and a great work ethic. They are often the top students in their school. Support from parents and communities is vital to keeping music education programs active in our schools.” MHS band students will spend the day volunteering by guiding bands, serving water, helping with concessions, manning the ticket booth and selling programs. The band students are very excited about this festival, as it is a time for them to show off their leadership skills and talent. Drum Major Jordan Thompson explained the pride
Enjoy a beautiful fall day in a beautiful place! Governor Morehead Park, just above the traffic circle in Spray, will be the scene of Preservation Day, Saturday, October 18, from 10 to 4. There will be no admission charge to come and share lots of memories and participate in fun activities. A homemade cake auction is planned, and a preserves contest and sale, as well as a hot dog lunch (hot dog, chips, and drink) for $5. Bring the family-- children’s activities will be ongoing. The Eden Preservation Society is sponsoring the event. Do you have memorabilia you are willing to share for a day? Bring your card table and set up your own display of Spray “Memories”, Draper “Memories”, and Leaksville “Memories.” Do you like to dress up in old-timey clothes? There will be a period costume contest, and you can pick your own era. Historic vendors are planned—you will see and be able to buy some really interesting things with an oldtime style. Home-made preserves need to be on site by 11AM, with one jar set aside for judging and three or more available for sale for the Society. Judging, with a great prize, is planned for 2 PM. Anyone willing to make a home-made cake for the auction and contest should register with Louise Price (623-1043) by Oct. 15th. There will be a silent auction of the cakes beginning at 12, with again a great prize for the winner—that is, the cake with the highest bid-- to be

Help Save Lives with American Red Cross Smoke Alarm Tips The biggest disaster threat to families across the country every day isn’t floods, hurricanes or tor-

most effective things people can do is to make sure that smoke alarms are installed on every level of their home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Simply put, smoke alarms save lives. They provide people with those crucial few extra minutes that can mean the difference between getting out safely and an unthinkable tragedy. Check smoke alarm batteries once a month by pushing the test button and replace the batteries at least once a year. Vacuum away dust and cobwebs from smoke alarms monthly, and don’t remove smoke alarm batteries except to change them. Following these tips will help maintain smoke alarms and will help families be safer in the event of a fire. If a fire does occur, the American Red Cross will be there. On average, the American Red Cross was called to help affected residents in 63,000 cases last year and provided food, shelter and emotional support. Volunteers play a huge role in the ability of the Red Cross to respond. Disaster Action Team members respond locally to home fires day and night and provide immediate assistance in the community. Get started as a volunteer by completing an application on your local Red Cross website. Go to www.redcross.org and click on Find Your Local Red Cross in the top right. You will enter your zip code and click on Volunteer. Potential Volunteers will complete steps that include a Background Check, Volunteer Interest Indication and Read and Agree to Red Cross policies. For additional information, call your local American Red Cross office. About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-forprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Letter to the Editor Dear Friend of ADTS Volunteer Caregiver Services (formerly Caregivers of Rockingham): The ADTS Bowl-a-Thon committee and the many seniors and people with disabilities who have received help over the years, thank you for being a friend and donor. We sincerely hope we can count on your support again this year during our Bowl-a-Thon, our annual fundraiser. Due to conflicts with additional fundraisers, the Volunteer Caregivers Bowl-aThon has been moved to the fall. The 18th Annual Volunteer Caregivers Bowl-a-Thon will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2014, at the Reidsville Bowling Lanes. Donations from this event amount to about one-third of our budget. Our goal this year is $20,000. Since Caregivers merged with ADTS, (Aging, Disability, and Transit Services of Rockingham County) we have seen many wonderful benefits, including administrative cost savings. Unfortunately, additional funding cuts on the federal, state and local levels have more than offset these savings. Therefore, your support is more critical this year than ever before! ADTS Volunteer Caregiver Services has continued its commitment to providing FREE volunteer services such as transportation, light housekeeping help, minor home repairs, respite care, lawn care, and wheelchair ramps. We continue to depend upon your generous support to offer this help. Our Volunteer Services Coordinator has recruited new volunteers and plans to recruit many more, further enhancing our ability to meet unmet needs in our community. We are seeking participation from individuals, businesses, organizations, and churches to bowl and raise donations. Our requests for services grow each year. Without your support we could not offer the needed services for our community. We would truly appreciate any participation you can give. If you have any questions, or are interested in participating in our annual Bowl-a-Thon, please contact Volunteer Caregiver Services at (336) 349-2343.

Preservation... Continued From Front Page announced at 3:30. The Governor Morehead Park, the prop erty of the Eden Preservation Society, is a huge asset to the community. The Society wants everyone to enjoy it, yet it is very expensive to maintain, and especially right now badly needs repairs to the old stone wall which formed the foundation of the very first textile mill in the area. Also the Superintendant’s House on the hill above the park should be restored, a project dear to the heart of preservationists. All funds gained from this Preservation Day will go to these good causes. For more information call David Clay (President) at 4275711 or Louise Price at 623-1043.

Clean up the Mess! With your support, Perkins can win a seat in the House of Representatives for the State of North Carolina. Perkins plans to focus on education that includes increasing North Carolina’s teacher salaries, alternative energy programs which include going green, and other economic growth through job creations. Having over 20+ years experience in the private sector, Perkins has the ability to work well with both liberals and conservatives. Her experience will allow her to help balance North Carolina’s budget and create jobs in this struggling economy. Perkins believes that we must continue to invest in our children’s education so that one day they can live the American Dream. Born and raised in Eden, NC, Perkins is no stranger to the needs of her district or the state. A graduate of North Carolina A&T State University with a degree in Textiles and minor in Business, Perkins was able to immediately make and impact with the companies she worked with which included Fortune 500 companies such as: Johnson & Johnson, Miller Brewing Company and Burlington Industries. As the textile industry began to decline, Perkins reinvented herself. In 1982, Perkins started her first business called Perkins Professional Day Care that offered quality Day Care and created many jobs for the community. Over the years her business has grown and helped to educate and mentor thousands of children in Rockingham County. Perkins, a member of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Eden, frequently volunteers in the local schools to help students pass their End of Grade tests. Recognizing the children’s needs, Perkins created a non-profit , “Boys and Briefcases,” with a mission to keep the youth in school and out of trouble. Some of Perkins community involvement includes working as a Board Member for the Eden Chamber of Commerce, Board Member for the Boys and Girls Club of America, Board Member for the Salvation Army, Board member for Eden Kiwanis, and a member of the NAACP just to mention a few. In 2001 Richmond Virginia Seminary recognized Perkins with a Honorary Doctorate Degree of Human Letters.
The 3 E’s Environment The future of North Carolina depends on each and everyone. We can’t play with our enironment. The future generation, our children, and our grandchildren are depending on us to keep the air and water safe. Clean air and water is a fundamental right. The growth of our state depends on clean air and water. Perkins would like to see more “Green Jobs”. This will stabilize some envirnonmental issues, and aid in envirionmental clean ups.
Elretha Perkins Candidate for State House of Representatives
Education Teachers deserve a decent salary here in the State. A 2% increase is a start but isn’t enough for the jobs they do. Being a teacher is a profession that should be respected by all. We also need to invest in our community college system.

Notes on Voting in 2014 Photo ID Voters will not be required to show a photo ID in order to vote during the 2014 Statewide Primary and General Election period. When presenting to vote, a voter simply needs to state his or her current name and current address. As long as his or her name is on the list of registered voters in the precinct, he or she will be given a regular ballot and permitted to vote. Voters who present to vote in person (during one-stop early voting or on Election Day) this year will be given instructions that starting in 2016, voters will be required to show a photo ID when voting in person. Provisional Voting Whenever a voter is offered a provisional ballot, the election official issuing the ballot will now mark in writing or other means on the ballot that it is a provisional ballot. If a provisional ballot is incorrectly placed into the voting equipment at the voting site, any ballot that is marked as a provisional ballot will be retrieved.
Any provisional ballot that is cast outside of a voter’s correctly assigned precinct on Election Day will not be counted. One-Stop Voting One-stop early voting will now begin on the second Thursday prior to the date of an election instead of the third Thursday prior to the date of the election. Unless a county board of elections requested an exception, the number of total cumulative hours for one-stop voting in the 2014 Primary or General Election will be comparable to the total cumulative hours for one-stop voting offered during the 2010 Primary or General Election, respectively. Absentee Voting Significant changes were made to the method of requesting and returning an absentee ballot by mail. All requests for a civilian absentee ballot must be made on the State Absentee Ballot Request Form. Handwritten requests will no longer be accepted. The voter or requestor must provide the voter’s date of birth and identifi-

cation information that can be matched to the voter’s record in the list of registered voters. A voter must now vote his or her ballot in the presence of two witnesses. A voter may vote his or her ballot in the presence of one witness only if the witness is a notary public. Voter ID Education At any primary and election between May 1, 2014, and January 1, 2016, any registered voter may present photo identification to the elections officials at the voting place but will not be required to do so. Each voter presenting in person will be notified that photo identification will be needed to vote beginning in 2016 and will be asked if he or she has one of the forms of photo identification appropriate for voting. If the voter indicates he or she does not have one of the types of photo identification appropriate for voting, the voter will be asked to sign an acknowledgment of the photo identification requirement and be given a list of types of photo identification appropriate for voting and information on how to obtain those types of photo identification. The list of names of those voters who signed an acknowledgment is a public record. Under long-standing federal and state law, certain first-time voters may be asked to show identification if they did not provide identification information when they initially registered to vote in the county. These firsttime voters may show either a current and valid photo identification or a copy of one of the following documents that shows the name and address of the voter: a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document.

DA’s Office Among State Statistical Leaders The North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts recently released the annual case activity reports for FY2013-2014 and the Rockingham County District Attorney’s Office continues to post impressive numbers. The Rockingham County District Attorney’s Office was second in North Carolina for the lowest percentage of felony cases plea bargained to reduce charges at just 7%, Buncombe County had the lowest at 6%, while the State average is 17%. “The people in this office have done outstanding work for the State of North Carolina, and we’ve delivered on our promised to try cases and not giveaway the courthouse,” said Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger, Jr. “Our results speak for themselves.” 93% of felony defendants in Rockingham County who plead guilty do so to the original charge, also second in North Carolina; the state average is 83%. Only 2 other jurisdictions were above 90%. 1.7% of cases are disposed of by jury trials in North Carolina. In Rockingham County, the average is 2.1%. In addition, the DA’s office moves felony cases quicker than other jurisdictions. The median case age at disposition in Rockingham County is 197 days; for the state it’s 229 days.
RCC Surgical Technology Program Receives Award Rockingham Community College has received the annual merit award from the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) for achieving a 90% pass rate on the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) examination for the cycle of August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.

The CST is widely recognized in the health care community as the foremost credential for surgical technologists in the nation and is required for employment with many local, state and national health care organizations. The national pass rate average for the Certified Surgical Technologist examination was 69.8% for this reporting period.

EXPECT.EMPLOY.EMPOWER. What can YOU do? Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. The theme for DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH 2014 is "EXPECT. EMPLOY. EMPOWER. What can YOU do?" NDEAM's roots go back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to "National Disability Employment Awareness Month." Upon its establishment in 2001, Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) assumed responsibility for National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and has worked to expand its reach and scope ever since. The Campaign for Disability Employment is a collaborative effort between several disability and business organizations that seek to promote positive employment outcomes for people with disabilities by encouraging employers and others to recognize the value and talent they bring to the workplace as well as the dividend to be realized by fully including people with dis-
abilities at work. People with disabilities can and do make important contributions to America’s businesses every day. By implementing good workplace practices, like maintaining a flexible and inclusive work environment, businesses can capitalize on the talents of qualified people with disabilities, benefitting everyone. Work is an important part of people’s lives. It means more than just getting paid. It means being able to make your own choices about how you want to live your life. At work, it’s what people can do that matters. If you are a young person with a disability, only you can decide your limits. You can work in a wide variety of jobs and play an important role in America’s economy. In fact, experience with a disability can help in a job or in starting a business. Today more than ever, businesses need people who can think differently about how to solve problems and get the job done. People with disabilities do this in America’s workplaces every day – and so can you. So set your sights high! Along the way, remember that resources are available to help you seek employment, succeed on the job, and understand your right to be judged on your ability, not disability. For further information on how you can be a part of Disability Employment Awareness Month, you may contact the local Vocational Rehabilitation Office at 336-6345611.

A student visited his old school, 20 years after his graduation, and met an old Science professor of his. The professor happened to be grading exam papers, and the student was surprise to notice that the questions were exactly the same as they were two decades ago. He asked the professor about the possibility of the leakage of the exam paper such that the students would have known the questions in advance. The professor smiled wryly and answered, "Don't worry about that, my dear boy. I've changed the answers every year."

The Flu Vaccine - An Insurance Policy for the Whole Family!!
No, it’s not foolproof. But an annual flu vaccine is a great way to insure against the flu. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each year. It’s designed to protect against the three or four flu viruses most likely to cause illness during the upcoming flu season. For most people, a flu vaccine can protect you throughout the flu season, which typically lasts from October to May. What’s the best policy? Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine becomes available. For young kids. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests the nasal spray vaccine for healthy children ages 2 through 8. For young children, it may work better than the flu shot (and be a little less scary, too). But if it’s not available early in the flu season, don’t wait. Go ahead with the flu shot. Remember: even healthy children are at risk of flu complications that are serious enough to land them in the hospital. Signs of pneumonia include chest pain and fast, difficult breathing. If you’re pregnant. In recent years, several studies have shown that the flu vaccine is safe and effective, no matter your stage of pregnancy. The flu shot protects both you and your baby. In fact, it is much more dangerous not to be vaccinated. In addition to pneumonia, the flu can lead to premature labor and other complications. If you’re pregnant, just given birth, or are breast-feeding, however, don’t get the live (nasal mist) vaccine. You should have an inactivated version instead. Where to get a flu vaccine. You can always see your doctor or go to a health clinic. You can also come by our pharmacy any time to get your flu shot. We make it easy for you. You do not need an appointment. If you have any mobility issues, we will accommodate you as well. If you have any questions about this year’s flu vaccine or any other vaccines, such as pneumonia, shingles, tetanus or travel needs, please call the pharmacy. Other ways to stay healthy—and keep others healthier—throughout the flu season: · Wash your hands regularly. · Stay away from sick people—as much as possible. · If you come down with the flu, stay home. After all, your productivity won’t matter as much if you make everyone at your workplace sick! Vaccines at the same time-This is a great time to think about other vaccines that you might also need and receive them at the same time! If you are 65 or older, or have a chronic disease, the CDC recommends the pneumonia vaccine and it’s covered by Medicare, just like the flu shot. If you haven’t had a tetanus shot in 5 to 10 years, it is recommended you have the new version T-dap, which also protects against whooping cough. If you are over 50 years old, you can now receive the Zostervax vaccine which covers shingles. Lastly, if you travel out of the country, we can give you protective vaccines for anywhere you might go. We have special documentation for your vaccines and add them to the NC Immunization Registry so your physician or healthcare provider can access your record. Benjamin Franklin got it right when he said: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!” 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.

ADTS
by Terrill Sandiford
There’s No Place Like Home @Home With ADTS Think of all the quotes about life at home; here’s a few I was able to find: “Home is where the heart is.” Pliny the Elder “There’s no place like home!” Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz “People usually are the happiest at home.” William Shakespeare As we begin to age and our independence slowly leaves us, we may start to question living at home and if it’s the right place to be. No one wants to become a burden on their family, or create a situation that is stressful and hard on loved ones. But at the same time, isn’t home where we all really want to be? I often find myself thinking of my wife and children, and wonder what they are doing in my absence. I have fond memories from my childhood, and most of them are from holidays at home with family, summers chasing after fireflies in the backyard, or just simply sitting on the back porch playing checkers with my dad. Sure…we remember the travel, trips to the beach, and other great adventures, but when you really think about it, where do we spend most of our time? During the years of raising a family, time is spent at work and home, as we age, retire and begin to let go of some of the activities that kept us so busy for so long, we find ourselves spending more and more time at home. Sadly, many people believe they have few, if any, options as they grow older. “Where will I get the support and services I need to age in place with dignity?” Individuals and families often make a major life transition and move into a nursing home or assisted living facility. I can remember going through this with my own grandmother, whom I loved dearly. She was beginning to decline in health, and she wasn’t the same person I used to visit in summers; no longer the grandmother I played golf with or went with on trips to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the beach or just played a simple card game after dinner with her and her friends. “What’s happening to her,” I would ask myself. “How can I help her?” She began to fall more and more, get confused, forget things. The decline was happening quicker near the end of her life. We took her to visit a nursing home. I couldn’t imagine grandma not being at home with her family. Everything was in the works for her to make the move, and then, one Saturday morning, just a few weeks before her 89th birthday, she passed away, at home, where she belonged. Don’t misunderstand menursing homes and assisted living facilities are a necessary part of the services available to senior adults and adults with disabilities; however, these facilities may not be the best choice for everyone. In North Carolina, there are many programs and services available to senior adults and those with disabilities, all designed to support individuals who wish to remain in their homes. The rapid increase of the senior population is also increasing the demand for such programs and services. There are 18 services avail-
able under Sandiford the Home a n d Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG), which can be traced all the way back to 1965 when Congress realized something must be done as a response to a significant lack of support for senior citizens. The Older Americans Act was created to help deal with the issue. The Administration on Aging was established to administer grantfunded programs and oversee issues concerning older adults. Meals on Wheels is probably the best known service under the HCCBG. Many such programs utilize the services of volunteers to deliver hot meals up to five days a week. And, as many of us know first-hand, the program is so much more than just a meal. For many recipients, it may be the only time in a given day that they have any interaction with another person. In Rockingham County, there are approximately 300 senior adults being served by Meals on Wheels, with an additional 120+ on the waiting list to receive this service. There are six routes for meal deliveries, and two additional routes are soon to be added. In 2013, Aging, Disability and Transit Services of Rockingham County served 41,000 meals. And, this month (October) will mark our one millionth meal being served – something we’re quite proud of! And, I would be remiss if I did not say we appreciate all of the support, whether through volunteering or by financial means. ADTS has become the largest provider of services to senior adults and adults with disabilities in Rockingham County. There is much work still to be done. We’re nowhere near being finished, and we need YOU. Please think about how you can get involved. Visit our website at www.adtsrc.org, listen to (or watch) our monthly radio show, “@Home with ADTS” to learn more about what we do, and help us be that voice for the senior
adults and adults with disabilities, and read this monthly column in “Eden’s Own Journal”. I’m out and about constantly, seeking to increase awareness of our programs and services, as well as to articulate the need for on-going support. I thank all of the various civic groups, clubs, organizations and individuals who have welcomed me, listened to me and gotten involved. Until next month….keep aging well.

Sheriff Hosts Meeting with Consul General of Mexico to N.C.
Pictured here: Consul General de Leon and members of his staff during the meeting with Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page, and Consul General de Leon and Sheriff Page shaking hands at the conclusion of the meeting. On morning September 4, 2014, Sheriff Sam Page had some special guests to visit the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Page had previously extended an invitation to Consul General of Mexico to North Carolina, Javier Diaz de Leon, and some of his key staff as part of the agency’s Hispanic community outreach. The primary focus of the meeting was to discuss any concerns the Hispanic community may have with law enforcement across North Carolina and in Rockingham County. During the visit, Sheriff Page provided the Consul General with a better understanding of our Sheriff’s Office operations, and its enforcement role and interaction with the Hispanic Community here in Rockingham County. The Consul General and Sheriff Page also had discussions on crime prevention, crime reporting and some of the misperceptions the Hispanic community has about law enforcement officers. Sheriff Page reiterated his belief during the meeting that “if a person is a victim of a crime, it doesn’t matter where they are from or what their residency status is. We are here to help ANYONE who needs us!” Sheriff Page and Consul General de Leon also discussed the Sheriff’s recent fact-finding mission to McAllen Texas, the influx of unaccompanied children from Central America through Mexico and into the U.S., and the Sheriff’s correspondence with the White House and President Barack Obama. After his return from the border, Sheriff Page contacted the White House via email and expressed some of his concerns regarding Border Security. Last week, he received an emailed letter from President Barack Obama responding to his concerns. He gave a copy of the President’s response to the Consul General, along with a written appeal to return Sgt. Andrew Tahmooreesi to the United States. The Sheriff asked the Consul General to forward to the President of Mexico on his behalf. Sheriff Page made the appeal as one U.S. Veteran trying to help a fellow Veteran to be returned to the United States to receive the help that he needs. This is the second time in the past two years that Sheriff Page has hosted a visit with the Consul General of Mexico stationed in Raleigh, N.C. His previous meeting was with Consul General de Leon’s predecessor Carlos Flores Vizcarra in April of 2012. “I look forward to future communications with Consul General de Leon as we resolve to continue reaching out to the immigrant populations residing and working here in Rockingham County that we serve in law enforcement”, said Sheriff Page.

The Rockingham County Tennis Association (RCTA) recently celebrated Nickelodeon’s World Wide Day of Play promotion with tennis activity booths at two Rockingham County fall festivals. The first was at the Eden RiverFest on September 20th and the second at the Stoneville Rotary Club Fall Festival on September 27th. RCTA’s experienced volunteers helped players, age 6-12 and their family members start playing tennis quickly, with a variety of activities and games including an obstacle course, "Buckethead", and tennis drills on a mini-court. RCTA believes that an early, positive experience in sports is vital and creates a lifelong commitment to an active lifestyle. If we reach children when they are young enough, they can learn to love physical activity and sports for life. Youth Tennis is geared towards getting more kids to play tennis using kid-friendly equipment - shorter courts, lowerbouncing balls, and lighter racquets, tailored for all ages and levels.

DRBA to clean historic section of Dan River The Dan River Basin Association's October 4 outing will be a 5-mile cleanup float on the Dan River from Whetstone Creek to Eden. Meeting at 10:00 a.m. at the NC Wildlife Access in Eden, locally called the Boat Landing , participants will paddle through several navigation sites, well-preserved nineteenth century river structures now on the National Register of Historic Places. The navigation structures provide easy passage through shallow areas, making this a Class I section, suitable for novice paddlers. Boats may be rented from Three Rivers Outfitters, 336-627-6215, www.3-r-o.com. Boaters are asked to choose canoes, which can hold more debris than kayaks. Coordinated by Ward Collis and T Butler, the cleanup is part of NC Big Sweep, the statewide component of an international watershed cleanup. Participants record the types of trash they find, contributing to statistics that help design educational programs to prevent littering. Collis, an avid paddler and coordinator of several DRBA cleanups, can often be seen trailing his fishing line as he paddles. He comments, "This DRBA First Saturday Outing is an easy paddle on a section of the Dan River containing several historic structures from a period when the river was of great commercial importance. This section is well upriver from the coal ash spill which occurred last winter. Participants will enjoy the company of their fellow paddlers and feel the accomplishment of improving the natural beauty of this portion of the Dan River." Butler, who served for many years on the NC Big Sweep Board of Directors, has coordinated hundreds of cleanups as Rockingham County Coordinator and was honored repeatedly by the state organization for her service. "I am extremely proud of DRBA's role in working to keep our rivers clean and safe," she says. "Our goal is litter-free waters throughout the Dan River basin in North Carolina and Virginia." The navigation structures in the Dan, built in the 1820s and expanded as late as the 1880s, include sluices, landings, and wing dams that made the river usable by flat-bottomed batteaux, the long, narrow workhorses of nineteenth century river commerce in the region. According to Lindley Butler, a senior North Carolina historian, "The structures channel the water through rapids and ledges that would have blocked the batteaux, each of which carried several tons of goods. Present-day recreational users enjoy the effects of these structures, which have been selfmaintaining for over 130 years. The improvements enable us to float the Dan throughout Rockingham County even in times of extreme drought."
In this section, boaters will pass through several of these improvements, including Galloway's Lower Ford Sluice and Sneed Strong's Fish Dam Sluice. Two miles into the trip, on river left, was the Grief Wade Plantation where coal was mined during the Civil War and shipped by batteau to heat military prisons in Danville. Just after passing the confluence of Buffalo Island Creek on river left, boaters will pass under
the Harrington Highway Bridge, the site of former Hamlin's (Menzies) Island. Students of river hydrology explain that islands appear and disappear as a result of water action during heavy storms and floods. Nearby on river left, according to Rockingham County Historian Bob Carter, is the graded right-of-way of the uncompleted North Carolina Midland Railroad. Also on river left one may see a fine stand of the river cane common on the river when William Byrd surveyed the "Dividing Line" in 1728, but now gradually disappearing throughout much of the river's length. During a lunch break at Leaksville Landing, boaters can view the crib structures in the river to which the nineteenth century batteaux were moored. Leaksville Landing is the only known batteau port remaining in the United States. After lunch participants will drift past Johnston's Landing and then the site of the former Leaksville Covered Bridge, where a massive stone pier from
the 1852 span survives, along with a 150-foot-long sluice wall on river right. One of the last points of interest on the trip will be the confluence of the Smith River, which enters the Dan from river left. According to The Dan River Book by Forrest Altman, the North Fork of the Smith and the East Fork of the Dan rise on opposite sides of Mountain View Road on Belcher Mountain in Patrick County, Virginia, within sight of the Blue Ridge Parkway. More information may be found on Maps 47-50 of An Insider's Guide to the Dan River. Both the Guide and Altman's book are available at www.danriver.org. Participants in the outing are asked to bring boat, life jacket, gloves, lunch and water, to dress in layers of artificial (quick-drying) fabric and to sign a waiver. Trash bags will be provided. Outings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without charge.

Project Safe RC Reports Decline In Violent Crime in 2013
Project SAFE Rockingham County, a county-wide anti-gun crime and gang violence coalition, reported a twenty-percent decline in violent crime in 2013. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the agency responsible for collection, analysis and release of the annual crime report, recently released the figures to the six local police and sheriff’s departments, all of whom are members of the coalition. Mayodan Police Chief Charles Caruso, who serves as chairman of the Project SAFE Rockingham County (PSRC) Executive Board saw the decline as a welcomed sign. “I believe this is a strong indication that PSRC, along with other crimefighting programs, is working well. Although we are all pleased
a big task. Project SAFE is a proactive approach that’s data driven.” Caruso and the other law enforcement executives know all too well, though, that violent crime rate results sometimes bear no reason or logic, and they can end on either an encouraging or disappointing note. Sheriff Sam Page, Vice- Chairman of the PSRC Executive Board stated, “There are too many variables that come into play in our complex society, not to mention the unpredictability of human behavior and turns in our economy, to accurately predict the outcome of the crime rate. All you can do is invest wisely in your personnel, training, polices and programs, and sustain strategies that are proven.” The focus of PSRC are the four violent crimes classified as Part I Offenses by the SBI in its report: Murder, Rape, Robbery, and Aggravated Assaults. These offenses form the centerpiece of the law enforcement ultimatum delivered by the Sheriff, Chiefs, and other criminal justice leaders

semiannually. The message is strong and unequivocal, notes Eden Police Chief Reece Pyrtle, one of the PSRC leaders. But he cites, of equal importance to the effectiveness of the Call-in and its message, are those who deliver it and others who stand firmly behind it. “As important as the content of the message is to the offenders, I feel the success of our program must be credited to all the dedicated men and women of law enforcement who believed in this strategy and work hard because they truly care about our community.” Through the laborious efforts of PSRC, including all the local law enforcement departments, NC Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice, Project Re-entry, community volunteers and many others, there has been a 96.8% offender compliance rate with the notification warnings. To date, two-hundred, fifty-three violent offenders have been warned in Rockingham County to stop the gun crime and only eight have re-offended. In a breakdown of last year’s crime reduction, four cities saw decreases, while one experienced no change, and still one other saw a modest increase of four assaults. Homicides in the county slipped from 7 to 5, while robberies dropped nearly 20%. Aggravated assaults, usually the crime most often reported of the violent offenses, dropped by 17% PSRC is in its fourth year of operation and is funded by the Rockingham County Government, and all the cities in the county, including the Township of Wentworth.

Church celebrates 85th Homecoming Draper Christian Church located at 1116 West Fieldcrest Road in Eden, NC is celebrating its 85th Homecoming. Starting in 1929 the church continues to be a vital part of Eden and what has historically been called The Restoration Movement. The Movement began in earnest at the turn of the 19th century in America. The Group was made up of Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists who wanted to shed their denominational tags and simply be called “Christians.” Creeds were rejected not as untrue, but unnecessary as one had the Bible and the Holy Spirit for guidance. The Christian Churches practice open communion every week for all those who believe in Jesus as their Savior, and they baptize believers in water for the forgiveness of sin so as to receive the Holy Spirit and their salvation. Gary L. Wackler, Minister invites you to come and join us at one of our services. If you are looking for a relationship with Jesus and His Church, we would love to have you be our guests for our Homecoming October 5th (11am) and our Revival October 5th (6pm) and the 6th-8th at 7pm. Our guest speaker is Matthew Wilson from Ekklesia Christian Church in Myrtle Beach, SC. The theme for the meetings is the “Urgency of the Gospel.” Matthew will be speaking on The Duty to Disciple the Family, The Call to Love the Hurting, The Need to Shift the Culture, The Commission to Make Disciples and The Command to Endure Till the End. Come and receive a blessing.

Partnership in Rockingham County is cutting edge,” said Rosie Allen Ryan, NFP State Advisory Board Member and former CEO of Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina. “Through this partnership, RCPC is showing that advancing child health is a top priority.” NFP is one of the oldest and most thoroughly evaluated nurse home visitation programs in the nation. Through regular in-home visits, nurses work with enrolled mothers to improve maternal health, promote healthy child development and support mothers with issues such as continuing school, finding work or establishing adequate housing. Home visits start early in pregnancy and continue until the child’s second birthday. The program also encourages participation from fathers and other members of the family. “The Duke Endowment invested in Nurse-Family Partnership in North Carolina because it works,” said Rhett Mabry, The Duke Endowment vice president. “We look forward to seeing the benefits that NFP brings to Rockingham County, and hope others will recognize its value and pledge their support so we can sustain this program longterm.” “The Trust is especially excited about the Rockingham County Nurse-Family Partnership program because an agency that serves children every day has crafted a unique rural model,” said Allen Smart, Vice President of Programs at the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust. “The program’s benefits also extend beyond our traditional health-focused efforts. NurseFamily Partnership impacts education, maternal success and employment. We are pleased Rockingham County has stepped up to bring this powerful program to first-time moms.” In North Carolina, initial results from NFP have shown: • 89 percent of babies were born

full term, and 89 percent were born at a healthy weight (at or above 2,500 grams/5.5 pounds). • 73 percent of NFP mothers had no subsequent pregnancies at program completion (2.5 years). Comparatively, in a national study of low-income mothers, 39 percent of pregnancies occurred within 18 months of a previous birth. • 44 percent of mothers who entered the program without a high school diploma or GED have since earned one. Another 26 percent are working to obtain one. The expansion of NFP to Rockingham County is supported by a public-private partnership that includes the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health. Across the state, NFP programs serve families in Buncombe, Cherokee, Cleveland, Columbus, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Halifax, Haywood, Hertford, Jackson, Gaston, Graham, Guilford, Macon, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Northampton, Pitt, Polk, Robeson, Rockingham, Rutherford, Swain and Wake counties. The program is supported statewide by a public-private partnership that includes the Duke Endowment, the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation, the North Carolina Partnership for Children, Inc. and Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina.

Randomized, controlled trials conducted over 35 years demonstrate multi-generational outcomes that benefit society economically and reduce long-term social service expenditures. Nurse-Family Partnership is headquartered in Denver, Colo.

Race Track: Prelude to the Green Flag By Darrell Meade Gregory
The three young men standing on the railroad tracks watched as a battered car burst through a wooden fence sending dirt and splinters into the air. They ran to the car, arriving before the dust settled, meeting others who were swarming around the wreck. With the driver being found safe, John Monk Tate put his hands in his bib overalls, knowing he would evade the two dollar admission ticket, and walked into the infield with the others, while the wrecker pulled the racecar back onto the track. Monk had again slipped by the officials, as he would be known to do in his future racing career. A scant four years after WWII found America returning to a peacetime economy taking advantage of the technological advances that fermented the country as the major world power. It was a great time to be alive in the Tri-City area, as it was expanding economically. Long overdue, Draper had finally incorporated in May 1949, and the future was bright. The Duke Power steam station was being built, and its dam backing the water up attracted a large boating crowd. The first diesel locomotives had replaced the steam operated ones just in time to carry heavy loads of coal to the new power plant. The Tri-City Airport was widely popular with air shows. The most modern theatre in the county, The Balmar, had just opened less than two years before. Work was available everywhere. The Lemons’ brothers operated a popular garage in Draper, and they were rapidly becoming a power family in town. They were well known for building and maintaining fast automobiles that catered to the local bootleggers. Clay Earles had business dealings with the Lemons and was seen quite frequently at the shop. Clay Earles had just built the Martinsville Speedway in 1947, and was a man on the rise. This was a risky move at the time, but with the help of his friend Bill France, the father of NASCAR, it proved to be the right move. The thirty-six-year-old Clay Earles took a liking to the younger Luther Lemons, and they became good friends. Even though Luther Lemons was fifteen years younger, they shared common interest with fast cars, and Luther Lemons began to think big. The handsome Luther Lemons was well liked, respected, and a rather sharp young man. Luther Lemons was also a friend of John East Jr., a local
restaurateur and poolroom operator who was making his claim on the rising fortunes of the town as a Draper city commissioner. John East Jr. had operated a business before the war, but he had to start from scratch when he returned from service. He rapidly became an economic force again by the time he was thirty-seven. Known as a workaholic, with his ever present wife working along side of him, he also had visions of the future. John East Jr. ran the Draper Pool Parlor, and employed his thirty-four-year-old friend, George Minter to oversee the tables at night. George Minter had a full time job as a mill supervisor, but he had no aversions to making some extra cash on the side. He became a good pool player, but his real outside interest lay in fast cars and racing. George Minter had no qualms about loading up in his speedster and driving it to Indianapolis or Daytona to watch and film a race. The multi-talented Minter also started writing a column, Stock Car Racing in Emerson Manuel’s The Advisor in March, 1949. Auto racing in this area was in its infancy, but rapidly growing. With outside mentoring from Clay Earles, John East Jr. and Luther Lemons began a business venture by purchasing fifteen acres about a mile outside the north-east city limits of Draper in 1949. A quarter-mile-banked track was cut out of the dirt, and grandstands were built of telephone poles topped with boards. A plank wood fence was placed around the track to keep unpaying spectators out more than for safety reasons. Even though it may have seemed rudimentary by today’s standards, this was a bold and expensive undertaking by Lemons and East. Lemons was too young to amass much capital, and, although East had a prosperous business, it is improbable that he had enough cash to swing the deal, but he did have political connections. Ramona Grogan Cecil was Luther Lemons’ girlfriend at the time the track was being built, and she accompanied him to the track site. Ramona met Clay Earles through Lemons, and they established a friendship that resulted in her being the first woman to present a NASCAR trophy at the Martinsville Speedway several years later. Ramona Grogan was privy to knowledge that Clay Earles was bankrolling Luther Lemons, and heard them talking about the finances and future of the track. As usual, weather and unforeseen circumstances hindered the
completion of the track, yet there was pressure to finish the track in time to hold a race before the end of 1949. Howard Hopkins, as a teenager, was employed to touch up the track with his father’s jeep which had a scrape blade attached to it and remembered being paid cash by Luther Lemons. The track was formally chartered as Draper Speedway, Inc. by the secretary of the state in October to operate as an auto speedway, which was cutting it close as the first race was to be held on October 16, 1949. Luther Lemons, John East Jr., and Gertrude East had $5,000 subscribed with an authorized capital stock of $10,000 in the speedway. To handle the promotion and race track program, Lemons and East were blessed by the talents of an aspiring newsman, Emerson Manuel. The twenty-five-yearold self- taught reporter was already making a name for himself by publishing a monthly magazine of the Tri-City area called The ADVISOR. The persistent Manuel secured his place as the Publicity Director, and, with his expertise, the Draper Speedway was now a complete package. The speedway was the talk of the town, it garnered the front pages of the Leaksville News. The local garages and car owners rapidly prepared cars for the inaugural race as anticipation built. The speedway owners advertised widely and sought spectators of all ages, sex and race. One of the ads run in the local paper, while promoting free parking, also added, “space provided for colored,” making sure that everyone was invited. Everything was in place for the first race, if the weather would only cooperate. Part II will appear in next month’s Eden’s Own Journal.

Grateful For My Body (At Home In the Body) Today I decide to be grateful for my body. This is a big step for me because there was a time when I hated my body. I could only look at it or think about it, all of it, with judgment or shame. Today is different. I do a body scan… What feels the easiest? My hands. I am grateful for my hands. They allow me to feel the softness of my cat’s fur as I pet her. And as I gently lay my hands on her side I feel the reassurance of her breath that lets me know she is alive and well. My ears hear her gentle purr as she senses me. So I guess I am grateful for my ears too. My eyes soften as I see her coat of white, checkered from the nose to across her back and tail, with pastel peach and light grey. She quietly opens her eyes, looks at me with complete trust, and love, then closes them gently. I’m grateful that I have my eyes to observe her in this quiet serene space. A space I am learning to be more at home in. And for this I give thanks. What would it take for you to be at home in your body? To love it fully? Reach out. Let me know. And if you want help, let me know that too. Yes. You Matter. Own Your Value. It's all about You. And it's about being In Touch In Life.

Tournament held in memory of Haley Jo Plummer On Saturday, August 23rd, RCC honored the memory and contributions of Haley Jo Plummer who was a member of the college’s first women’s volleyball team. In 2001, during her second semester as an RCC student, Haley died as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. During a special ceremony held before the tournament began, Charles and Cathy Plummer, parents of Haley, were presented with a framed jersey bearing Haley’s Number and a volleyball medallion bearing her name. Both will be permanently displayed as a tribute to her as a successful student-athlete. During the ceremony, Dr. Robert Lowdermilk, III, vice president for student development shared, “Haley was recognized as an outgoing, strong, loving student-athlete, she set for herself the goal of attending college to earn a degree in physical education so that she could become a teacher and coach. Although Haley was offered the opportunity to attend a four-year
institution and play a sport, she chose to attend Rockingham Community College, where she acquired a grade point average of 3.45 in her first semester.” RCC’s women’s volleyball team along with teams from Johnson & Wales University, Lenoir Community College, and St. Andrews University competed throughout the day Saturday with Lenoir Community College winning the championship round with a 5-0 record. Runner-up with a 3-2 record was Johnson & Wales University. RCC went 1-3 and St. Andrews University JV squad went 0-4.

Leaf collection season begins By Darren Gatewood, Street Superintendent The City of Eden’s annual loose-leaf collection will begin Oct. 13 and end March 6. The following is the schedule but please keep in mind that weather, equipment and the amount of debris to be collected may alter the schedule at times: If your garbage collection day is Monday, leaves will be picked up Tuesday. If your garbage collection day is Tuesday, leaves will be picked up Monday. If your garbage collection day is Wednesday, leaves will be picked up Wednesday. If your garbage collection day is Thursday, leaves will be picked up Friday. If your garbage collection day is Friday, leaves will be picked up Thursday. There are some exceptions to the schedule. • Parts of the Central area (Stadium Drive towards Kings Highway), Highland Drive and Dameron Street are targeted for collection on Wednesday. • Monday is leaf collection day for the Northridge area. • Friday garbage collection and leaf collection will be on the same day for the following areas: NC 135 and NC 770 taking in all streets on both sides of NC 135 to Harrington Highway (including all streets in Indian Hills and both sides of Brammer Road from NC 135 to NC 770); Harrington
Highway from NC 135 to NC 770 taking in both sides of Harrington Highway and both sides of Beddingfield Road to the dead-end on the fire station side only; and NC 770 from Harrington Highway right side only back to NC 135. Please keep in mind that leaves must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day. Leaves should not be placed in the traveled portion of the roadway as traffic would be impeded. Place leaves at a location away from any objects such as parked cars, low-hanging tree limbs, power/phone/cable lines, catch basins and drainpipes. It is important that leaves are not placed in the actual ditch to prevent potential flooding caused by such a practice. Sticks, rocks, bricks and any foreign type objects should be kept out of the leaves. They can cause severe damage to the collection equipment. You are encouraged to keep leaves on your property and compost when possible by implementing a backyard composting project. Residents who want leaves for gardening purposes should contact the Street Division for information on signing up for delivery of leaves by the truckload. For additional information regarding leaf collection services, contact me at 627-7783, ext. 102, or the Department of Environmental Services at City Hall, 623-2110, ext. 4.

City of Eden Water Filtration Plant wins award People expect water to be clean when they turn on their faucet. For customers of the City of Eden water system, that water is among the cleanest. The Robert A. Harris Water Filtration Plant recently received the state’s highest honor in water treatment, the Area Wide Optimization Award for 2013. Of the 150 surface water systems in the state, only 38 received the award. Tom Boyd, N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources water treatment plant consultant, presented the award Aug. 21 at the NCWOA meeting at the City of Asheboro Water Treatment Plant. The award means that the water’s turbidity levels were less than one third of the allowable limits 95 percent of the time. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or haziness of water caused by individual particles that can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Microbes are microscopic particles that occur naturally, but can potentially include harmful bacteria and viruses. Target turbidity levels are 0.1 ntu (nephelometric turbidity unit), well below the regulatory limit of 0.3 ntu. Water treatment plants that consistently attain such a low level of turbidity achieve significant water quality benefits by removing particles that may harbor microbial contaminants. Awards are given each year to water systems that demonstrate outstanding turbidity removal, a key test of drinking water quality. While all drinking water systems have to meet strict state and federal drinking water standards, the systems that achieve this award met performance goals that are significantly more stringent.
Tacky Branch Vineyard B.H. Edwards and his son Jordan are starting a vineyard and winery on Bryant Street just outside the Eden City limits. They are using a method called kickstarter to finance the venture. This allows you to invest in the vineyard at various levels. The kickstarter process began on September 15th but only lasts a month, so you will need to invest early. A vineyard and winery would be a game changer for Eden. It was one of the first initiatives the city’s economic development department pursued when it started in 2002. One Yadkin County winery, Rag Apple Lassey, draws 500 people weekly to its doors.

For the Fun of it... What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack... You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. If someone forgets to invite you, He or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, even decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives On December 24 in 25 minutes.
Anger Vs. Exasperation A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked, "Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?" The father replied, "It is mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean." With that, the father went to the telephone an dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, "Hello, is Melvin there?" The man answered, "There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don't you learn to look up numbers before you dial them?" "See," said the father to his daughter. "That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something, and we annoyed him. Now watch . . ." The father dialed the same number again. "Hello, is Melvin there?" asked the father. "Now look here!" came the heated reply. "You just called this number, and I told you that there is no Melvin here! You've got a lot of nerve calling again!" The receiver was slammed down hard. The father turned to his daughter and said, "You see, that was anger. Now I'll show you what exasperation means." He dialed the same number, and a violent voice roared, "HELLO!" The father calmly said, "Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?"
Freckles An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful." The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."
Penny For Your Thoughts One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around her husband. "A penny for your thoughts," she said. "It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50." The Brown Apple A four-year-old boy was eating an apple in the back seat of the car, when he asked, "Daddy, why is my apple turning brown?" "Because," his dad explained, "after you ate the skin off, the meat of the apple came into contact with the air, which caused it to oxidise, thus changing the molecular structure and turning it into a different color." There was a long silence. Then the son asked softly, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"
Moms Dictionary CAR POOL:
Coming to Visit Pete and Larry had not seen each other in many years. Now they had a long talk trying to fill in the gap of those years by telling about their lives. Finally Pete invited Larry to visit him in his new apartment. "I have a wife and three kids and I'd love to have you visit us." "Great. Where do you live?" "Here's the address. And there's plenty of parking behind the apartment. Park and come around to the front door, kick it open with your foot, go to the elevator and press the button with your left elbow, then enter! When you reach the sixth floor, go down the hall until you see my name on the door. Then press the doorbell with your right elbow and I'll let you in." "Good. But tell me...what is all this business of kicking the front door open, then pressing elevator buttons with my right, then my left elbow?" Pete Answered, "Surely, you're not coming empty-handed."
Purpose of the Dog A Sunday School helper was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children began discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster. "No," said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant." What To Do With 5 Penguins In The Car A man drives into a gas station. The attendant goes to fill his tank and notices 5 penguins in the back seat. The attendant says, "Hey - why do you have 5 penguins in your car?" The driver says, "I KNOW! I was just stopped at a light back there and they climbed into my car and now I don't know what to do!" The attendant thinks for a second and says, "I'll tell you what I'd do - I'd take them to the zoo." The driver says, "That's a good idea - I'll do that!" A week later the driver pulls into the gas station and the attendant sees the same 5 penguins, only now they're wearing sunglasses. The attendant asks, "What are you doing?! I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo!" "We did go! We had a great time! Today we're going to the beach!”

It’s that time of year... It is one of those times of year when people think about change. It is cooler now I should walk, the Holidays are coming we should get together, I should plan something for the end of the year. Stop waiting for Friday, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for life and make the most out of the moment you are in now. We get so caught up in try-

ing to make moments special that we forget that every second that we have is special. There was a post going around on Facebook this past week, if you were tagged you had to post three things you were Grateful for having. The catch, and there is always a catch, was you had to do it for seven days. The first couple of days were easy enough but then I was like I really love my running shoes. I know that was
not a good one, but in White my defense good running shoes do not fall off trees. My end result was that we should be Grateful for everything. Be Grateful for small things, big things and every in between thing. Count your blessings not your problems. We all have problems that

cause us to doubt our path that we have chosen. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to not think, not wonder, not imagine, not OBSESS. Just breathe and have full faith that everything will work out for the best. I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason. You may not understand why at that moment, but there is a lesson in it to make you stronger. Live in the moment. Learn all you can from that moment. Hang onto the good and let go of the bad. You have to be willing to go alone sometimes. You do not need permission to grow. Not everyone who started with you will finish with you. They have their own journey and that is ok. Do what is right, not what is easy. The one thing that you have that
voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write, paint, build, play, dance and live only as you can. Moments are happening all around. Open your eyes and see them. Stop looking at good and bad. Laugh as hard as you cry. Just remember there is a plan we just don’t know it but you cannot sit there and get caught in the bad because then you miss the good. If you knew the size of the blessing coming your way you would understand the battle you are fighting. When you are in one of those moments tell yourself “I AM ENOUGH.” You are equipment to handle it. God will not let you fall further than your knees.

Business 623-5660 Serving Eden Since 1990! Jesus Saves
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, our theme is, “Building on the past---Looking to the Future.” The Central Christian Church of Eden, N.C. began in a tent, in the yard of Austin and Zelma Murray on Martinwood Road, Spray, N.C. in 1954. A three week revival was held in that tent the last two weeks of September and the first week of October 1954. Three preachers participated in that three week revival, Earl York, Roy Miller and Charles Schmidt. At the end of that tent meeting the church had nine members. John and Betty Crouch were the first two people to be baptized as a result of that tent revival. During the three week tent revival a deal was made with Isaac Dixon to rent a old tin shop building just a short way up Martinwood Road. It was one big room with nothing on the inside walls. The men installed paneling on the inside walls, celetex on the ceiling. They also did some painting. The men I remember working are Jim Cannaday, Dara Callahan and Austin Murray.
Teenagers Ken Murray and Walter Thornton, Junior, helped by carrying things and holding things. Church services began in the tin shop building the second Sunday on October 1954. Within a few months two classrooms were built on the back side of the tin shop building.
Come help the congregation celebrate 60 years at the Homecoming Sunday October 12, 2014. From October 1954 to June 1955 Dara Callahan and Jim Cannaday did the preaching. Berline South led the singing and Pricie Underwood played the piano. The church was known at the time as the “Lincoln Street Church of Christ”, although the building was located on Martinwood Road. Harold Dean Price was the first full time preacher, from June 1955 to November 1955.

Aubry Payne with his wife Ruth served the church from December 1955 to September 1957. At Christmas time 1955 the first building fund offering was collected. It was $18.00. With $18.00 in the building fund and a lot of faith, Aubry Payne, Jim Cannaday, Clyde Hall and Charlie Gillie were appointed to look for a lot on which to start a church building. The lot at the corner of East Stadium Drive and Pierce Street was bought with a bank loan. The church had 25 members at that time. On July 3, 1956 a ground breaking service was held. On July 4, 1956 Charlie and Thomas Gillie, Contractors, started digging the footers for the first auditorium on this lot. Men of the congregation helped. The second Sunday of October 1956 the first “Homecoming Day” was celebrated on the new church lot, dinner on the ground. About half of the roof was on the building. Before the meal was over it started to rain. A blowing rain. Everyone moved into the building under the partial roof. Everyone got wet but their spirits were not dampened. The first Sunday on November 1956 the first church service was held in the new building, which is now referred to as the old auditorium. When the congregation moved to the corner of East Stadium Drive and Pierce, it became known as the Central Church of Christ of Spray, N.C.

Continued from previous page In September of 1957 Aubry Payne ended his ministry with this congregation. Leland Tyrrell, president of Winston-Salem Bible College was interim minister until March of 1958. From March 1958 until July 1962, Robert L. Stewart served as minister at Central Church of Christ, Spray, N.C. The last part of 1959 and the first part of 1960 a new building unit was added to the auditorium. The first floor was an apartment for the preacher and his family. The second floor was classrooms. Kenneth Talbert of Leaksville, a student at Kentucky Christian College filled the pulpit from July 1962 until September 1962, and from September 1962 until April 1, 1974, Harold Noe served as preacher for Central Church of Christ, Spray, N.C. When Harold Noe came the church had 134 members. Under Harold Noe the church had continued growth. Soon the need was felt for more classroom space and a larger auditorium. The lot next to the church property on East Stadium Drive was purchased and on July 2, 1965, work began to build a church parsonage. In March 1966 Harold and his family moved into the new parsonage, leaving all the classroom building free for classrooms.

resigned from Central Church Christ. From April 7, 1974 to August 11, 1974 the pulpit was filled by Aubry Payne, with help from Maurice Hylton for the month of July 1974. On August 14, 1974 Howard Ray began serving as preacher and served until October 1978. In July 1975 a church bus was purchased and used for several years. Ron Goss served as preacher at Central Church of Christ from August 1, 1979 until July 24, 1988. In the Fall of 1979 work began on a multi-purpose building and was completed in October 1980. The first meeting in this new building was the Homecoming Meal on October 12, 1980. This building is now known as The Fellowship Building. Other preachers who have served this congregation are; Byron Miller from January 16, 1989 to January 13, 1993, Bruce Schwan from June 1, 1994 to April 30, 1995, Lemuel (Lem) Hardison from July 30, 1995 to January 2, 2004, Walter Thornton from February 24, 2008 to March 6, 2011, Walter Allen Reed, Jr. (Buddy) from September 11, 2011 to present, August 2014 and continuing. Ron Culp served as interim preacher between Walter Thornton and Buddy Reed. According to a document from the state of North Carolina, dated 27 January 1997, The Central Church of Christ, Spray, NC Inc. changed the name to Central Christian Church, Eden, NC Inc. For the past several years the decline in congregation, due to death and members moving, has leveled off and the church is beginning to grow again. We have a good spirit of fellowship and working together. As the church celebrates 60 years of derving Christ in this community, our past successes challenge us to look to the future and reach for the future. As we look to the future, we are planning for an increase, working for an increase and praying for an increase.

American Legion Post 254 Supports Eagle Scout Project Members of American Legion Post 254 in Draper have been supporting scouting for many years. The Post has given the local scout troop support since 2008. The latest endeavor is an Eagle Scout Project at Freedom Park in Eden. Scout Matthew West has been trying to raise approximately $10,000 for his project. Matthew’s project is a memorial to all branches of the service. He is constructing a four foot black marble monument with the insignias of all branches of service and the men and women who fought to protect this great country. The monument is located inside the park just past the flags and on the left side of the road near the entrance. Matthew is just a few hundred dollars shy of his goal and hopes to raise the rest of the money with donations. Anyone wishing to help out with the project could contact Matthew at 589-1429.
