The City of Eden and Rockingham County as a whole, have once again been dealt a devastating blow.

Only days after the company named Gavin Hattersley as new chief executive officer on Sept. 9. MillerCoors brewing company announced it's imminent closing in September 2016, and the entire county felt the hit. The loss of some 520 jobs in the MillerCoors facility itself will of course expand as the support community for the brewery is effected.

In a statement to the citizens from county officials and the commissioners on the day of the announcement, County Manager Lance Metzler stated that “Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to these employees as we all come to grips that this outstanding corporate citizen will officially close September, 2016. We are especially concerned for the hardworking employees at the brewery.”

Mayor Wayne Tuggle in a letter to the community said, “Our hearts go out to those employees that will be displaced or lose their positions. Rest assured that all

MillerCoors... Continued from Page 1 efforts are being made to replace these lost jobs, starting with a meeting with the local MillerCoors staff about their intentions for the Eden facilities.”

According to reports the cause for this shutdown is related to location and Eden’s proximity to newer plants in VA and GA. Noting that MillerCoors has had its annual brewing production drop roughly 10 million barrels since 2008 to about 55 million barrels last year.

Noting that the clsoing has nothing to do with the efficiency of the plant or the quality of the workforce, in fact, the Eden plant was recognized as Brewery of the Year multiple times and we remain proud of that, they say the closing ws necessary.

The Teamsters Brewery and Soft Drink Workers Conference represents 420 employees at the plant. On a television interview a teamsters representative hinted that they would fight the closing based on the reasons stated in the announcment.

Already on the horizon in the business world was Anheuser-Busch InBev’s potential takeover of SABMiller which would create a mammoth $275 billion brewing company.

AB InBev has until Oct. 14 to make an offer and, from there, the complex negotiations and details could take over a year complete. Although only a glimmer at the end of the tunnel, there is no guarantee the Eden plant would stay open, it is a glimmer at least.

The MillerCoors Eden Brewery represents approximately $32.9-million of assessed tax value in real estate and approximately $132.6-million in personal property (business equipment inside the plant). This fiscal year alone (2015-2016), the company has already paid its Rockingham County taxes for a total of $1.2-million.

The local trucking businesses will feel that hit as well.

Rockingham county will lose its tax income from the plant, as well as the entire county feeling the hit of loss of income, unemployment expenses, loss of retail income. Ball Corp. located in Reidsville, with 170 workers, which makes cans for the brew-

ery had yet to feel the brunt of the decision by press time. The impact will slowly become evident as these supporting businesses feel the effect.

We in Eden and throughout Rockingham County especially know, change happens, not always for the best. If strength is found in adversity, we definitely are strong from our past challenges, and will come out even stronger facing this one.

With past closing such as Spray Cotton, Fieldcrest, Cone Mills, among many many others, one difference now from then, is that we are more diversified than ever. We have a strong workforce and close knit communities that more than welcome new challenges in the future.

Eden Chamber of Commerce President Randy Hunt said, “Eden has reinvented itself before, we are a resilliant group of smart, hard workers.”

On Thursday, September 17, Governor Pat McCrory met with local government and economic development leaders in Eden to discuss the closing of the plant.

The Rockingham County Economic Development Team will be working closely with our state and local allies such as NC Works and Rockingham Community College to put a plan in place to assist the displaced workers and recruit another company to find a way to reuse the plant before the scheduled closing in September 2016. “We’re working together to develop a short term and long term strategic plan to help the employees who are being impacted and their families, to help the community and also see what the long term plan is for the possible reuse of this plant...”,” said McCrory.

County Manager Metzler also stated, “Our first concerns are for our residents who work at the MillerCoors Brewery. They are seasoned, high-tech, professionals with numerous skills and abilities that will be attractive to other employers. The skilled workforce coming out of MillerCoors is a great asset for our industry recruitment efforts.”

The work force at the Eden brewery has been reduced over the years from 1,500 in 1978 to a now 520, due to technological

advances.

"It's extremely efficient," said Dougherty, economic development director for the city of Eden. "We're going to be marketing this to beverage companies. We think there's a great opportunity here."

Because the Eden plant which sits on 1,500 acres, was recently converted from coal to natural gas for its on-site power production, and has become a “zero landfill” manufacturing operation Mike Dougherty, Eden’s economic development director, believes there is a great opportunity to market this plant to other beverage companies.”

Companies like Ruger made the decision to come to Rockingham County to take advantage of the skilled manufacturing workforce here. In addition, we have strong technology training programs at RCC which impressed Ruger, Other manufacturing companies seeking a superior, permanent location will recognize the potential of our area and the value of our resources and workforce.

Metzler also added “We have recently energized our Economic Development & Tourism Department to aggressively promote and attract new industries, corporations, businesses and tourists. We are fortunate the MillerCoors Eden Brewery is a state-of-the-art, high-tech, facility with numerous natural resources and transportation venues.

MillerCoors has been a great corporate leader and major piece of the Eden and Rockingham County economies for 37 years. The Eden facility was the first brewery to produce Miller Genuine Draft back in 1986 and today, it’s a state-ofthe-art operation.

Metzler adds, “Our team will think creatively and plan focused strategies to accentuate our strengths, selling points and advantages to bring new jobs and industries to Rockingham County. We will explore possibilities across America and around the globe to let people know that when you’re in Rockingham County …

Over the next few months we will provide a series of articles discussing tips and bits of knowledge to guide you through open enrollment.

With the recent announcements of several local companies laying off or shutting down, we thought it would be appropriate to discuss what you may be facing

in regards to your health insurance. You will be receiving multiple packages from your current insurance carrier explaining COBRA. COBRA is simply your right, granted by Federal Law, to continue your health insurance benefits post-employment at your expense. Unfortunately, they are allowed to charge up to 105% of the cost! This is very painful in an already financially unstable period of your life BUT NOT NECESSARY! You may qualify for tax credits to significantly reduce the cost of what you pay for your health insurance.

We at Rakestraw Insurance Center are here to help! As the largest health insurer in Rockingham County and most trusted source of healthcare reform advice, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! Stay tuned for a calendar of health enrollment workshops that will be hosted in Eden.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

The yellow calla lily has large leaves and an extensive root network Doss and must have a large pot. It is normally about 20 inches high, but it can reach twice that height. The calla lilies bloom from May to August depending on when it starts to grow. The flowers are long-lasting. The spadix has a scent, but the rest of the flower has none.

During the growth season the yellow calla lily needs full sunlight and a temperature of about 72 degrees to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. During the winter it should be kept at about 42 degrees to 47 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the spring the temperature should be raised to 60 degrees to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

During the growth, the yellow calla lily should be regularly fed and watered often, preferably with lukewarm water. A mixture of normal soil and peat should be fine. Remove only discolor or withered leaves and flowers with a sharp knife for grooming.

The calla lily comes from the Transvaal in South Africa.

This area changes from being wet and swampy in one season to being as dry as the steeps in another. The calla lily is a plant that is used to having unlimited water during its growing. While the tube almost completely dried out during the dry season.

If the yellow calla lily is to be grown in the home copy the natural growing conditions as much as possible. If successful, a lovely plant can be grown with 3 to 5 flower stalks from each tube.

The flowers are small and yellow and sit on a cream colored spadix which rises from the center of the big, cone-shaped holster. The large spear shaped leaves on their long stems are splashed with irregular white flecks.

An eye catching plant both with and without flowers, the calla lily is perfect for the greenhouse, glass porch, or, in the summer, the patio. However, it may be just a bit too big for the windowsill since it needs a large pot to contain the tuber and root network.

The First Annual Pickin’ at the Rock Old-Time and Bluegrass Fiddler’s Convention OCTOBER 17th, 2015, On the campus of Rockingham Community College, 215 Wrenn Memorial Road, Highway 65, Wentworth, NC 27375 Admission – Adults $10.00 – Children under 12 -

"Bringing Counties Together."

Rockingham County Governmental officials experienced engaging programming, networking and special events at the 108th Annual Conference of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC). It was held Aug. 20-23, at the Greenville Convention Center, in Pitt County. The 2015 theme was: "Bringing Counties Together." From left to right are Rockingham County Commissioner Keith Duncan, Commissioners' Chair Mark Richardson, County 4-H Youth Summit Representative Emily Holmes of Ruffin, and County Manager Lance Metzler.

Founded in 1908, NCACC is one of the most successful and active statewide local government associations in the nation. It was established for the betterment of county government throughout the state. North Carolina’s 100 counties are vibrant and essential partners with state government in providing services to the state’s more than 9 million citizens. As the form of government closest to the people, counties offer a unique perspective that makes them critical players in decisions affecting their citizens.

The NCACC serves as the counties’ advocate before the executive, legislative and judicial branches of state government.

Carolina Monthly supports North Carolina Brands With the aid of The Rural Center’s New Generation Venture Grant and the ease of web-hosts like Cratejoy, three young entrepreneurs in rural North Carolina were able to create Carolina Monthly, a subscription box service that exclusively ships a hotchpotch of Carolina-based items each and every month.

Entering into their third month of business, Carolina Monthly has already included items such as Buck O’Hairen’s Legendary Sunshine, George’s Original Barbecue Sauce, Marilyn Swinson’s Scars of War, Boar and Castle Sauce, Charlie’s Soap, O. Henry Magazine, Old Mill of Guilford’s Corn Starch, Enderly Coffee and an album from Raleigh’s Mint Julep Jazz Band.

In addition to the reoccurring mystery box, Carolina Monthly has also launched an online retail shop and partnered with Raleigh t-shirt designer Humbly Made Brand as well as Outer Banks photographer Jess Lowcher. Along with these partnerships, the Shop also includes original content like ebooks Carolina Stir-Fry, Daily Juice, and Homesteading.

As a new company, the trio has already discovered dozens of brands that have little web-presence, meaning they could otherwise go unnoticed. With this in mind, their open forum invites for all followers and subscribers to share their favorite brands, musicians, artists, designers, chefs, craftsmen, artisans, and more to better promote all things Carolina.

On August 28, 2015, Carolina Monthly launched an official Kickstarter at the Mad Bean in Madison, North Carolina, answering questions, discussing local brands, and featuring new musicians as part of the Mad Bean’s Friday-night Open Mic.

Q & A’s: 5 End-of-Year Tips from Your Pharmacist!

As the days keep getting shorter, does it feel as though there are fewer than 24 hours in a day?

With the holidays right on the horizon, there’s so much to think about and so much to do. Here are a few end-of-year reminders to make sure your health—and your pocketbook— doesn’t get the short end of the stick.

1. Get your flu shot. If you’re like many people, getting a flu vaccination can easily slip your mind.

But a flu shot is too important to get bumped to the bottom of your priority list.

Every flu season is different, and every person responds to the flu in a different way. The flu can lead to hospitalizations and even death. The flu season often begins in October, so there’s no better time than the present. We are giving flu shots daily and no appointment is necessary.

2. Plan for Medicare open enrollment. Every year, the open enrollment for Medicare is October 15 through December 7. This is when you can change your health plan and prescription drug coverage.

You can get more information here: Call 1-800-MEDICARE or go to www.medicare.gov.

You’ll find a wealth of resources to help you compare hospitals, doctors, drug plans, and other health care services. If you need more help making comparisons and choices, we can help.

Please call to make an appointment.

3. Switch to generics. Generic medications are identical to brand-name drugs in dosage, form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance traits, and intended use.

Here’s how they’re different: They’re usually much less expensive than brand-name drugs.

Not all medications have a generic equivalent for a brand-name drug. One way to find out is to go to Drugs@FDA or, we can answer your questions.

Switching to a generic medication might put a few (maybe more than a few) extra dollars back in your pocket. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little extra money for the holidays— or to use however you choose?

4. Use or lose it. Do you have a flexible spending account (FSA)? This is a special account you put money into to pay certain out-of-pocket health costs. That might include co-payments, deductibles, drugs, and other health care costs. Limited to $2,550 each year, this money is not taxable.

If you have an FSA, now is the time to use up your health benefit dollars—or you’ll lose them!

Take time to schedule eye or medical checkups before the end of the year. Some employers make allowances, though. So check to see if you have a grace period for using up the money or if you can carry over a limited amount of funds to the next year.

5. Schedule a “tune-up.” Why not schedule a meeting with me to see if your medications are working as well as they can for you? We can help you come up with ways to remember to take your drugs and to order refills—before you run out. Ask us about our “Easy Meds” program where you will receive all of your medications at the same time each month. Not happy with your drug’s side effects? Both your doctor and I can work with you to adjust your dose or to find a substitute.

There’s no need for you to suffer in silence.

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: On August 27th, Will of the People had a well renowned speaker from the Coalition for Crime Prevention. Steve Grinstead has been conducting anti-crime and anti-violence seminars for the last twenty one years. He has conducted seminars for Duke University, University of North Carolina, Banks, Manufacturing firms, State and Federal Governments and many, many other facilities.

He has spoken before as many as 2000 people at a time.

The information presented was based on research from agencies such as Police Departments, Sheriffs offices, FBI, Rape Crisis Centers as well as Federal and State Prison Inmates.

Mr. Grinstead presented this information in a factual manner using props to show his points on how to avoid becoming a victim. The presentation was very professional and Mr. Grinstead also added a bit of humor. Did you know that the number one victim of violent crime is SENIOR FEMALES? Will of the People will be offering more educational speakers at each monthly meeting.

The public is always invited.

September was a presentation on anti fracking and October, we will hear from a pro fracking presentation.

Letter from Mayor, On behalf of the Eden city staff and City Council, I want to express my sincere regret at the announcement on September 14th that MillerCoors will be leaving Eden in September of 2016. For more than 37 years, Miller has been an excellent corporate citizen and provided well paying job to our citizens. Our hearts go out to those employees will be displaced or lose their positions. Rest assured that all efforts are being made to replace these lost jobs, starting with a meeting with the local MillerCoors staff about their intentions for the Eden facilities sometime this week. I hope is that the Eden brewery can be functional once again with another company.

MillerCoors meant a great deal to Eden in Rockingham County.

More than 1.3 million dollars in annual revenue flow to the city from this company. It's supported three local trucking companies, the refillable container facility as well as many small businesses. There will hate employees patronize our retail and service businesses and were extremely generous and charitable campaigns. Eden was a much better place because of this industrial partner.

The city of Eden, Eden Chamber of Commerce and Miller/Coors, and I will work together to identify career opportunities for the current brewery employees. As of September 1st, 2015 the North Carolina works website listed 711 open jobs in Rockingham County. We encourage MillerCoors employees and all citizens to the visit that site to see if there is a position for which they are qualified. The evening goodwill Community Resource Center Hotel place more than a thousand people in job and is available to assist citizens with resume creation and job applications the city is working with existing industry to learn of expansion possibilities. Finally, efforts are being made to recruit other companies, such as MillerCoors, star citizens can enjoy the highest quality of life possible.

Please know that all of us associated with the city of Eden are keeping everyone affected by this announcement in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely, Wayne R. Tuggle Mayor

Scott started in her new position this summer. She is a Burlington native and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, holding the Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Health Education with a concentration in Community Health Education.

County commissioners are recognized for their participation in both educational programs and service to the Association. The starting place for earning credits is the orientation program, the Essentials of County Government. As commissioners increase education and service, they earn credits toward recognition at three levels: Practitioner, Master and Mentor. The NCACC tracks credits and recognizes participation every year at the Annual Conference.

“LELA recognizes county commissioners who have dedicated themselves to becoming effective local leaders for their communities,” said NCACC Executive Director Kevin Leonard. “The roles and responsibilities of county commissioners are constantly changing, and the LELA program helps them keep up with the latest information.”

NCACC Mission Statement: Our Association supports and promotes the well-being of all North Carolina counties through advocacy, education, research and member services.

United Way discloses your dollars in action The United Way was first organized in 1887 when 2 Ministers, a Priest and a Rabbi convened to discuss the unmet needs in their community. Individuals were homeless and hungry.

This religious group felt overwhelmed with these growing needs with only minimal resources available to them. Collectively, they joined forces to form the Community Chest which later became known as The United Way. The need to build a strong United Way Campaign in this county requires all of us working together. The United Way needs not only the support of the community donors, but the support of local businesses, churches, organizations, and Partnering Agencies receiving the grants.

French photographer opens studio Sylvian Couzinet-Jacques isn’t a local name in Eden, but one that will be heard around the town for some time to come.

A photographer from France, Sylvian was awarded a little over $100,000 grant from Foundation d’enterprise Hermes in France and Aperture Foundation in New York to form a co-operative art endeavor to come anywhere in the U.S. and create his art project.

The grant would provide money for the creation of a pro-

100 years of crumbling. The building has served as a schoolhouse until the early 1900’s, a country store and a residence over the years, but had been empty for years.

Luther Hodges, governor from 1954 - 1961, attended class in this little schoolhouse as a child along with many mill worker’s children.

Sylvian believes the building is a piece of art in and of itself, and plans on keeping as much of it’s original features as pos-

posed project, the publication of a book in both English and French about the project, as well as exhibits in New York and France, where huge support for the art world exists.

With his proposal revolving around paradise, Sylvian began by “Googling” the word Eden.

With several cities in the United States named Eden, our own Eden, North Carolina caught his eye. When the project was selected as the winner, he flew to New York, jumped on a train to Greensboro and drove into Eden.

The project proposal included purchasing a house for a studio in Eden, one that would connect the future to the past. This was accomplished when he found the Little Red Schoolhouse in Spray area. This 1884 dilapidated structure only cost $1,000, leaving a lot of funds to continue with the project.

Sylvian’s work is contemporary photography, blended with video and images.

A recent artist to hold an exhibition was fellow Frenchman and sculptor Ugo Schiavi with “Battlefield”. The exhibit was inspired by vintage car parts and old football equipment.

More will come from France in the future showcase their work, and maybe to blend thier work with that of local heritage.

His own work, along with others, will be exhibited here in Eden as well as in New York in the fall of 2016, then it will move to Paris.

Older American’s Act Turns 50!

This summer the aging network celebrated the 50th anniversary of The Older Americans Act (OAA). In 1965 President Johnson signed three pieces of landmark legislation that together would drastically impact the lives of older adults: Medicare, Medicaid and The Older Americans Act. While Medicare and Medicaid extended healthcare insurance to millions of previously uninsured Americans, the OAA focused on the funding of critical services designed to support older adults, keeping them healthy and independent as they age.

According to statistics provided by the Administration for Community Living, OAA programs reach millions of

Americans annually, with one in every five older adults benefiting from the various supports.

Numerous programs are provided through the OAA, but the majority of funding is associated with state grants that offer four categories of service supports: Supportive Services and Senior Centers, Nutrition Services, Caregiver Support and Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. To maximize the impact, grants are designed to leverage other funding from states and local communities by requiring local matching and by giving program recipients an opportunity to make voluntary

623-5055 contributions towards the expansion of the services that they receive.

So what does the OAA do for us locally? At ADTS many of our programs are funded through the Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG), a state grant program made available through the OAA. For our current fiscal year, we are slated to receive $624,131 in HCCBG grants and an additional $22,487 in Family Caregiver Support funding, both of which are made possible through OAA. Locally, we are using these funds to provide meals to home-bound seniors; provide nutrition services through our four congregate nutrition sites; provide general and medical transportation; offer family caregiver support programs; serve older adults with cognitive and/or physical impairments at our adult-day care center, support senior center operations at the Center for Active Retirement and provide in-home assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing and meal prep. The programs offer a full range of supports that address a vast array of needs faced by older adults and their family caregivers. These critical programs are central to helping older adults remain independent in their homes and communities.

Despite its success over the past 50 years, the OAA has been due for reauthorization since 2011. Reauthorization allows Congress to update and improve the services provided through OAA as well as protect funding delivered through this legislation. Despite bipartisan support in Congress, reauthorization has not yet been realized. As our 60+ population expands it is critical that our elected officials move to protect funding to the programs that enable millions of older adults to age in their home with dignity, independence and choice. In our community, failure to reauthorize this important legislation could mean more significant waiting lists and longer waiting times for services critical to keeping people in their homes. As advocates for our aging population and community-based supports, we urge you to stand with us in asking Congress to seize the opportunity to renew the commitment to the programs offered through the Older American’s Act and those that the programs serve. For more information on how you can get involved or advocate on behalf of the aging community, call us at (336) 349-2343.

Each day, approximately 160,000 children miss school because they are afraid of bullying according to a 2012 National Education Association report. Bullying is a serious problem that can have long-term effects on its young victims. Specifically, robbing them of self-esteem, isolating them from their peers, lowering their grades in school and, possibly, leading to health problems or thoughts of suicide. There are steps that we can take as parents to help prevent children from being bullied as well as support actions in the event they are a bullying victim.

AlertID, the free neighborhood safety network and app that helps protect families, continues to raise awareness on issues which pose a threat to the well-being of children and families. “As children return to school, it’s a great time to educate parents on how to prevent bullying and teach our kids how to combat it,” said AlertID Founder, Keli Wilson.

For more information on how to prevent and combat bullying, go to http://alertid.com /search/bullying.asp.

The following are important tips on how to prevent your child from being bullied as well as tips for what to do if your child is a victim of bullying: How to prevent your child from being bullied: • Teach children to be assertive and teach them to have empathy for others. Emphasize peaceful ways to solve problems and encourage kids to stand up for themselves verbally, not violently.

• Give children positive feedback to build their self-esteem. Help give them the self-confidence to stand up for what they believe in.

Encourage your child to help others who need it.

• Ask your children about their day and listen to them talk about school, social events, classmates, and any problems they have.

• Get to know their friends. Encourage your children to invite their friends to your home or accompany you on family outings.

• If you see any bullying, stop it right away, even if your child is the one doing the bullying.

What you can do if your child is bullied: • Take bullying seriously. Many kids are embarrassed to say they have been bullied. You may only have one chance to step in and help, take that important step.

• Teach your child nonviolent ways to deal with bullies, like walking away, playing with friends, or talking it out.

• Help your child act with self-confidence. With him or her, practice walking upright, looking people in the eye, and speaking clearly.

• Don't encourage your child to fight. This could lead to him or her getting hurt, hurting someone else, getting in trouble, and initiating more serious problems with a bully.

• Involve your child in activities outside of school. This way he or she can make friends in a different social circle.

• Seek help from a teacher or principal to help address the problem.

One County, One Book announces book choice One County, One Book, Rockingham County Reads! is launching publicity for its book choice for 2015-2016. This is the 10th Anniversary of the initiative to get Rockingham County residents to read the same book, attend discussion groups, talk about it in their personal Reading Groups and in other words, “Get everyone talking about it.” We have chosen a variety of books over the years we have been in existence.

We have chosen for 2015-2016 “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. “It is the one book which has been chosen by reading groups all over the nation for many years and taught in many schools and colleges. The story is timeless and relevant to the racial unrest that seems to be coming up all across the United States. To Kill a Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an

Financial hardships can leave you feeling helpless, powerless, embarrassed, and confused.

Fortunately, there are options available to help you get a handle on your finances and become free from financial worries.

I grew up in Rockingham County, and I take pride in offering a service that can help ease many of the financial burdens that my neighbors here are experiencing. I understand how overwhelming debt problems can be. Financial worries can leave you feeling depressed and hopeless and they can even impact your relationships with friends and loved ones. A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may help you find some much-needed relief from debt and get you on the road to financial recovery.

Many people do not realize how a bankruptcy case can help them. People hear many incorrect or untrue things about bankruptcy or are afraid of bankruptcy. However, bankruptcy does not mean that you lose your home or your vehicle- in fact, most of the time bankruptcy offers a solution to helping you KEEP property that you are otherwise at risk of losing. Many people are simply unaware of what bankruptcy really is and the benefits it can offer them. For most people, bankruptcy offers a means of starting fresh and taking a step toward improving their credit rating.

I offer FREE consultations in a relaxed, friendly, and completely confidential environment. This offers potential clients the ability to meet with me, ask questions, and find out what options they may have under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. My Chapter 13 clients pay no upfront attorney fees. If you are curious about bankruptcy and would like more information, but are not quite ready to schedule a consultation, call me and I will send you an information packet with more information.

Richardson, Attorney at Law Our office also proudly represents clients in matters involving: Traffic Immigration, Workers Compensation, Social Security Disability Claims, Estate Planning and Administration (Wills and Trusts), Tax, Expunctions, Adoptions, and various other Criminal and Civil cases.

Reidsville location to help company expand An 113,500 square foot facility in Reidsville is giving a waste management services company the opportunity to grow its business.

Stericycle, based in Lake Forest, Illinois since 1989, has transferred 12 jobs from its former 12,400 square foot suite in Greensboro, NC, to its new Reidsville location at 211 Rockingham Drive. The site, near the intersection of US 29 and NC 87, will also be convenient as the company seeks to grow its customer base and serve existing customers, such as Procter & Gamble, which is only 12 miles from Stericycle's new Reidsville location. " Stericycle not only needed additional space for its current operation but also is looking toward future growth," said Mark Wells, Director of Business Development for the City of Reidsville. "As its business grows, the company will be able to expand at this location."

Stericycle, with more than 600,000 customers globally, provides waste management solutions not only for Procter & Gamble but for hospitals, laboratories and physician practices.

In Reidsville, the company will take defective, outdated or expired products and shred them. Those products with plastic casings are broken down, shredded and shipped out to other recyclers, according to Wells.

For more information, contact Mark Wells, Reidsville's Director of Business Development, at 336-347-2307.

The 16th tee featured a fairway that ran along a road. The first golfer in a foursome teed off and hooked the ball. It soared over the fence and bounced onto the street, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and ricocheted back onto the fairway.

Through Our Eyes photography shows work at Governmental Center Through Our Eyes Photography Club began meeting in April of this year. The group was formed to provide a creative environment for a diverse group of photographers: from the beginner, to the advanced, even to the professional. The Rockingham County Public Library, Eden Branch, allows the group to meet the last Saturday of each month at their facility. The common thread among these photographers is the love of photography, and the challenge that the art presents.

Each meeting generally lasts from 10:30 A.M. until 12:30

P.M., allowing members to share their pictures with one another, along with sharing tips and skills that each individual has learned as they practice the craft. As a newly formed group, we are small, but we hope to grow in members; and to have a positive impact on the community in which we live.

In addition to meeting in a group setting, the group participates in traveling to a variety of areas to participate in photo shoots. Thus far, areas that have been visited include the Chinqua Penn trail in Reidsville, N.C.; Lake Brandt, in Guilford

County; and Townsend Lake in Guilford County.

There will be a display of the various members’ photographs displayed at the Rockingham County Governmental Center from September 1 through November 30, 2015. The artwork can be viewed Monday - Friday, 8:00 5:00. These photographs will be available for purchase. It is with great appreciation to Tina Massey, Executive Assistant to the Rockingham County Manager, for making this opportunity possible for Through Our Eyes Photography Club.

County Promotes Recreation with New Video Rockingham County has produced a new, two-minute video to showcase and promote outdoor recreation in the area. The video was a joint project between the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority and the County’s Economic Development& Tourism Department.

The video, which is titled “There is a Place,” can be found on YouTube: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Ojnz8Kg0uoI. It will be used in a variety of ways to promote tourism, recreation and life in Rockingham County.

“We will be using this video on our web site, social media, and at special events, presentations and trade shows,” said Robin Yount, tourism manager. “While this video shows scenes from our water sources and Mayo River State Park, it also gives a good overview of recreation in Rockingham County.”

A thirty-second TV commercial will be created from the video. The TV campaign will run this fall and next spring and summer on Time Warner Cable News and other targeted cable networks.

“The TDA Board is thrilled with the video and to have this new tool to promote our beautiful community. We hope to see good results from it and from the TV campaigns over the next year,” said Dixie Penn, chair of the TDA Board.

Madison/Mayodan & Stoneville Help breeds more help

By Tamelia Hodges After this year’s Annual Nursing Home Cruise In, as noted in Septembers issue, the community of Rockingham County is burning with compassion and enthusiasm to help make our County a better place for the elderly! Mechanic shops were eager to help volunteer Tamelia Hodges with her car as she worked to prepare the event for the residents at Jacobs Creek Nursing and Rehab.

Though she didn’t have money, places like Shell Rapid Lube Beroth Tire and Smart Chevrolet helped her get her oil changed, brakes in top condition and kept her car on the road so she could continue in her efforts on what she calls, The War on Eldercare.

Hodges said, “The shops nearly competed in their efforts to help support the cause and each of them tried to outdo one another and even went as far as to change their business signs to support and advertise for the event! That’s what I call community involvement!”

The event raised $1 for every resident and with the final

amounts received from Lisa Griffith of Eden’s Own Journal, as well as a member from Mayodan Church of God, the silent auction raised just enough to buy a name brand hygiene supply for every resident! A volunteer group composed of members from Souls Harbour Church of Mayodan and Piggiz Playhouse passed out the gifts and brought smiles and even tears to the faces of our counties elderly and they eagerly look forward to the next cruise in which will take place in August of 2016.

Sponsors are still needed and they are looking for more volunteers to apply at this location throughout the year to bring the community to the patients and remind them that they still have a life worth living and people love them dearly! I encourage you to get involved and make this event even better next year! Tamelia says, “If you do not live near this facility, I encourage you to stop by your local nursing home and make a difference in someone’s day! Looking forward to seeing you at the next Nursing Home Cruise!”

Senate Passes Compromise Medicaid Reform Bill Plan to control Medicaid costs to taxpayers, promote better health care In a bipartisan vote, the North Carolina Senate passed final legislation September 22nd to reform and restructure the state’s chronically troubled Medicaid program.

A host of operational and budgetary challenges spanning several administrations has plagued the program. In the past four years alone, the legislature has had to fill shortfalls totaling nearly $2 billion – money that could not be invested in other

critical state priorities like education, infrastructure and public safety.

The final Medicaid reform compromise bill adopts policies supported by the House of Representatives, Senate and Gov. Pat McCrory and will achieve better budget predictability and sustainability by moving to a “capitated” system within a few years. This means the state will ultimately pay a flat fee to cover all physical, mental and long-term care serv-

ices for most Medicaid recipients instead of paying piecemeal for more costly individual services.

Under the new capitated system, the state will enter into contracts with both provider-led health plans (originally supported by the House and administration) and managed care plans (originally supported by the Senate). Medicaid beneficiaries will benefit from competition and have a choice of three statewide plans as well as up to

of Health and Human Services’ Division of Medical Assistance with a new Division of Health Benefits that will fully manage the state’s Medicaid program.

The division will be led by a director appointed by the governor and confirmed by the General Assembly.

• Exempts the Division of Health Benefits from the State Personnel Act, providing greater flexibility to hire highly-skilled employees, pay them competitive wages and hold them accountable for their job performance.

• Creates a new Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Medicaid to monitor budgeting, financing, administrative and operational issues.

10 regional plans based on where they live. Under the contracts, costs for enrollees must be at least 2 percent below national Medicaid spending growth.

“The reforms in this bill will not only save taxpayer dollars and achieve greater budget sustainability, but will also provide an additional incentive for delivering the highest quality care and keeping North Carolinians healthy,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger (RRockingham.) “I am grateful to my colleagues in the Senate, House and administration for working together to achieve a reform proposal we can all be proud of.”

Native Jordan Nance to Show His Documentary “Broadcast: A Man and His Dream” at Pickin’ at the Rock Recently Aired UNC-TV Documentary That Tells Story of Legendary Broadcaster Ralph Epperson and the Early Years of Radio Station WPAQ 740AM to Screen The sound of fiddles, banjos, and guitars will ring throughout the campus of Rockingham Community College on Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning at noon, when “Pickin’ at the Rock” takes place. With over $2500 in cash and ribbons, RC, NC’s first annual fiddlers convention will give bluegrass and old time musicians a venue for friendly competition in both individual and band events. Sponsored

by The MARC, Town of Wentworth, and Rockingham Community College, “Pickin’ at the Rock” will feature both adult and youth competitions, food, vendors, and performances by The Rorrer Family Band and Skyline Drive.

The day will also include a screening of Reidsville, NC native Jordan Nance’s hour-long documentary, “Broadcast: A Man and His Dream”. The film tells the firsthand account of Ralph Epperson starting WPAQ radio in nearby Mount Airy, NC, in 1948 with the promise to promote and preserve the traditional string music of the Blue Ridge. The documentary which recently aired on UNC-TV features a soundtrack of more than fifty original music recordings and interviews with many early WPAQ performers. Nance, who is thirty-one and lives with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy since a premature birth, interviewed Epperson in 2006 just six weeks before he died. Planning to attend the event, Nance hopes that this tribute to its founder and the pioneer musicians of WPAQ will spread and renew appreciation for radio and early string music.

“Pickin’ at the Rock” promises to be a fun-filled day of celebrating the music and heritage of the area. Whether you are a musician or a fan of bluegrass and old time music, plan now to attend.

John King performed at the Eden Riverfest for the second time in as many years, and again rocked the event with his country music sound.

John King is a Country artist orignially from Habersham County, Georgia, but now based out of Nashville. He made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry in September of 2014 and recently, he's been touring with acts like Jason Aldean, FGL and Sam Hunt. His first single "Tonight Tonight" was one of the most successful songs of 2014. It was also used by CBS for Thursday Night Football broadcasts last season. His latest single is “On Your Lips.”

When asked who is his favorite country music artist to work with, his reply was Jason Aldean, adding they have done a few shows with him and it has been a lot of fun. As to who he would love to work with some day, Garth Brooks made the top of the list, “He’s amazing!”

He says of his favorite song to perform, “ Tonight, Tonight.

My first single, it's just always been special to me and its always fun to see the crowds sing along and its a really fun song.

In addition to being an artist, John is also a successful song writer. Randy Houser's new single, "We Went," was written by John, Justin Wilson and Matt Rogers. He has also had recent cuts by Craig Morgan and Gloriana.

Last year John played over 240 shows in 44 states with some of the biggest artists in Country including Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line (FLG), Rascal Flatts, Cole Swindell, Brett Eldredge, Brantley Gilbert and others. We estimate that he physically

played in front of around 800,000 people. In 2015 John will continue to do dates with Aldean, Cole Swindell and FGL. John and his band traveled over 120,000 miles through 44 states in 2014 alone. Next year that number will also increase.

“We've got a lot a new music we’re working on. We're not exactly sure which one we’re gonna go with next. But we have a whole project we've been working on. Pretty excited about our new music,” John says of his next single possibilities.

John wasn’t born into the music industry, he grew up working with his hands, building character as he built structures.

“Those jobs made me who I am,” says John. “I started off working rock construction, rock masonry, putting rocks in fireplaces, stone furnaces, walkways at about 14 or 15. Although it was tough, it built muscle and character.”

John said of the band, “We've been together since highschool. It's the same band today as back then, but we have added a couple guys since we moved to Nashville. My brother plays the drums. It's a family thing.”

Speaking of his parents he said, “They are the only reason why music was introduced at an early age.” John’s musical tastes were formed early on by southern rock sounds...”, When it comes to the fans, the bar is set high according to John. “I want to be like Garth and these guys who treat their fans like royalty.

That’s how we want to be. Like Kenny Chesney, if you’ve got a long career in country music it’s because your fans love you.”

Once John settled into the position of lead singer of his

ANGELA HASKINS

John King band, his voice began to change the sound of the band. “Our early bands were rock bands but my voice was country. I grew up country, I talked country and I started to write about country things.”

John’s social media reach more than tripled in 2014 and the 'Tonight Tonight' YouTube video has attained over 200k views over the last 6 months and 500k Spotify plays.

To Eden he says, “I would like to obviously say thanks for having us out. Everytime we come through North Carolina it feels like home since we are so close to Georgia where most of us grew up. It's great to be here.

We have been playing this whole little circuit since I was 17 or 18.”

Be Aware and Prepare is mantra for county Emergency Management BE AWARE, PREPARE! Rockingham County Urges Residents to Be Aware & Prepare for Emergencies & Disasters!

As peak hurricane season nears, Rockingham County Emergency Management officials are reminding residents that now is the time to plan and prepare for emergencies and disasters.

“Natural and man-made emergencies are unpredictable, but residents can take steps now to plan how they will respond when disasters strike,” Rockingham County Emergency Manager Johnny Bowles said.

“Take time now to make a family emergency plan, practice that plan and put together an emer-

gency supplies kit. The more prepared you are before disaster strikes, the more prepared you are to recover from it. Be aware of the risks, prepare for the worst but hope for the best.”

Governor Pat McCrory proclaimed September as Emergency Preparedness Month which coincides with National Preparedness Month, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The designation is made each September to encourage Americans to prepare for emergencies.

Bowles encourages residents, schools and business owners to make a plan and practice it routinely with other household members or staff. The plan should include details about

where to meet, how to get in touch with one another, evacuation plans, what to do with pets and how to notify employees after an emergency.

The next step, Bowles said, is to put together an emergency supplies kit.

“Having the kit in place will help you during the emergency andmake the recovery process a bit easier,” said Bowles. “For example, including copies of insurance policies in your kit will enable you to more quickly process claims. Most of the items needed for the kit can be found around your house.”

Other items that should be in an emergency kit are: • Water - 1 gallon per person per day for 3 to 7 days

• Food – non-perishable and canned food supply for 3 to 7 days • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio with extra batteries • Cell phone with charger • First aid kit and first aid book • Flashlight and extra batteries • Manual can opener for food • Anti-bacterial hand wipes/ gel • Wrench or pliers to turn off water • Blanket or sleeping bag – 1 per person • Prescription medications, glasses and hearing aids • Seasonal change of clothing, including sturdy shoes

• Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, feminine supplies • Extra house and car keys • Important documents – insurance policies, copy of driver’s license, Social Security card, bank account records • Fire extinguisher • Cash and change • Books, games or cards For more emergency preparedness information contact Rockingham County Emergency Management or visit ReadyNC.org or download the free ReadyNC mobile app.

336-627-1175 Baker celebration

Baker family voted Outstanding Conservation Farm In August, Robert A. Baker and family were honored as North Carolina’s 2015 outstanding Conservation Farm Family at a celebration on their farm in the Ellisboro community.

Robert A., Bobby, and Mark were selected for the coveted award from a statewide field of contenders that included competition at the area, regional, and state levels. The award is presented annually by the NC Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts to a farm family who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to natural resource stewardship, conservation knowledge, educational outreach and community leadership.

The Bakers worked with the Rockingham County Soil & Water Conservation District to develop and implement a farmwide conservation plan that would protect and improve water quality and soil resources. Over the years, many conservation best management practices have been installed on the farm to achieve that goal, including crop rotations, grassed waterways, diversions, field borders, and strip cropping.

Conservation runs in the family. RA Baker was recognized as an outstanding conservation farmer in his area by a big majority of the farmers and businessmen in 1963. 50 people toured the farm to view the latest conservation practices in that year. The Baker farm was the Rockingham County Conservation Farm Family of 1966. RA Baker was on the Rockingham County Soil and Water Board from December 7th, 1974 until May 8th of 2007.

As the children grew and worked on the farm, Mr. Baker made sure a sense of stewardship was instilled in each of them that still remains today.

Attending the celebration were nearly 200 guests that included local, state and federal soil and water conservation agency staff and district supervisors, elected officials, legislators, local businesses, area farmers, and family friends.

Speakers at the event were from the Rockingham Soil and Water Conservation District and the NC, Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts.

The featured speaker was Commissioner Steve Troxler,

head of the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

The event was organized by the Baker family, the Rockingham County Soil and Water Conservation District and the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation. The local USDA Farm Services Agency, NC Cooperative Extension Service, Carolina Farm Credit, Alliance One, and Vf Wrangler contributed in-kind or financial assistance to help make this event a success.

In six short hours on Friday September 11, Rockingham County gained FOUR new tennis courts. What???

These courts appeared under the watchful gaze of 500 Williamsburg Elementary students and teachers as they walked to and from the nearby playing fields. “What are they doing?” they asked. On the asphalt playground, Court One’s Brian Wright and Josh Herndon carefully measured, taped and painted the lines for FOUR new tennis courts. The courts are 18 feet wide and 36 feet long.

Young children (and their fami-

lies) play on these smaller courts with shorter rackets, lower nets and larger, lower bouncing balls that are red and yellow…thus “a red ball court”. This is the official USTA tournament court for all players age 8 and under.

Tennis magic happens when the court, racket and balls are “just right” for our young players. From almost the first moment two children pick up their rackets, the red balls begin to move back and forth across the net. Since the court is only 18 feet wide, they can easily run from side to side to return a ball.

The service box is almost as long as the court so they are successful beginning a point with a serve. They have fun keeping

score with clothes pins, playing cards, dice or the traditional tennis scores of love-15-30-40deuce and ad. If hitting the ball over the net is too challenging, young players roll the ball under the net and still achieve “serve, rally, score” that is the definition of the game of tennis.

Funds for these four youth tennis courts were provided by a USTA 10 and Under (36’ and 60’) Line Grant with matching funds from NC Tennis and RC Tennis Association. This summer, RC Tennis partnered with the Reidsville Area Foundation and NC Tennis to give away over 200 youth tennis rackets and balls to young Kids Tennis Club players at six summer day camps. Another 300 youth sized rackets have found their way into four RCS elementary schools for PE classes and seven Kids Companion after school child care locations.

Providing equipment and new courts are two of the ways that we help Rockingham County “find themselves in the game”.

The Friends of Eden Animal Shelter was founded in 2014 to help save stray animals in the City of Eden, North Carolina and the surrounding area. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that would not exist without the compassion and dedication of volunteers, donors and special fund raising events such as this tournament.

Proceeds from this event go to support the services Friends of Eden Animal Shelter provides for the support of abandoned, abused, lost, stray or surrendered animals that find themselves at the City of Eden Animal Shelter.

The animals are rescued from the shelter and using social media, networked for exposure

to an owner seeking their lost pet, potential rescue organiza-

tions and adopters and to help raise money for the animal’s care. Friends is an independent organization working to save the lives of local animals. Since forming in 2014, Friends of Eden Animal Shelter has saved nearly 200 dogs and cats.

Hopefully their work will continue to help reduce the number of animals that are euthanized each year.

Corporate, individual, and team sponsorships opportunities

are available. Donations are welcomed and appreciated.

To register an individual, a team, or to become a tournament sponsor visit Oak Hills Golf Club at 436 Stadium Drive, Eden or contact the event organizer at 336-912-1178 or 336-2621627.

To My Readers, Yes there has been an eventful month, now behind us.

But not behind many in our community. Some sit in jail awaiting their time in front of judges and peers, others are out in society awaiting there final judgement to come. There have been some shocking announcements from our communities’

law enforcement that I could report on in depth... but I won’t.

I do believe in the law of the land when we say innocent until proven guilty. And until there is a final declaration come down from a jury of our peers or a confession of the suspected offenders, I will not be one to sensationalize anyone’s life story to later find out it ruined their

lives.

There are some bad people out there, there are some really good people, too. I will let the courts sort that out and then report on their decisions, because they are the ones who, hopefully, hear the entire story, both sides, and make the decision.

Once decisions are made by the courts, there of course will be announcements of the results.

If you would like to see the police reports of recent arrests, the press releases we as the media get daily, please visit Roy Sawyer’s, our great friend and colleague’s website at: RockinghamUpdates.com.

Rockingham County Schools 2014-2015 Test Results The NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) has released information on school performance for the 2014-2015 school year as measured by Growth Status, Proficiency Scores and Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) under the federal "No Child Left Behind Law" (NCLB).

The students continue to show academic growth with nearly 88% of RCS schools meeting or exceeding academic growth goals during the 20142015 school year. In addition to test scores revealing an increase in performance from the 20132014 school year to the 20142015 school year, the RCS fouryear cohort graduation rate has increased, yet again.

According to Dr. Rodney Shotwell, RCS superintendent, this year’s accountability results reveal progress. “While there is work to be done, we will not be judged solely by one test given on one day,” said Shotwell. “Our cohort graduation rate is at an all-time high. “ Growth Status Student growth is the amount of academic progress that students make over the course of a grade or class.

Students enter grades and courses at different places; some have struggled while some have excelled. Regardless of how they enter a grade or course, students can make progress over the school year. N.C uses the Education Value Added

Assessment System (EVAAS) from the SAS Institute as its value-added metric to measure student growth. EVAAS applies a combination of statistical models to provide information on district, school and individual

teacher effectiveness based on student growth. Growth levels are labeled as: “not met expected growth,” “met expected growth,” and “exceeded expected growth”.

Pennies 4 Paws at Stoneville Elementary Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. Stoneville Elementary School marked the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance by honoring the Furry Heroes of 9/11. The guide dogs who never left their owners and led them to safety down 110 flights of stairs.

The countless search and rescue dogs who worked 12 to 15 hour shifts on September 11th. The therapy dogs who aided the efforts at ground zero and visited hospitals, family centers, schools and counseling centers for the weeks and months following the tragic event. In honor of these Furry Heroes, the school sponsored a Pennies 4 Paws Service Project. The staff and students of the school raised almost $600.00 in one week. The

Sergeant J. Hutchins, Deputy D. Guerra, K-9 Kira and Captain A. B. Farrar accept the Stoneville Elementary School Pennies 4 Paws donation for the Rockingham County K9 Division during a visit on September 11th.

money was donated to the K9 Division of the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department in honor of all the Furry Heroes who keep our community safe each and every day. Deputy D. Guerra, Sergeant J. Hutchins and Captain A. B. Farrar accepted this donation during a school visit on Friday, September 11, 2015 with one of our own Furry Heroes - Kira. Under the direction of her handler Deputy D. Guerra, Kira amazed the students with her obedience and her ability to "handle" any problems that needed her attention. She left the students with the message, "Play with friends and not guns, use your brain and not drugs! Be smart, stay in school."

Students look on as Kira follows every command of her handler, Deputy D. Guerra.

Letter to the Editor I have known Jerry Ellis for over a decade. Throughout that time I have known him to be a person of integrity, a steadfast example of hard work and dedication, as well as a mentor to the community’s youth.

The City of Eden needs leaders who will stand up and fight for economic development and change. Leaders who have invested a lifetime in the community, through public service and coaching the youth. Jerry Ellis’s work and personal experiences; teaching & coaching in the public school system, working at local businesses during the summer seasons and having raised 3 daughters in this community, make him the best candidate to be the voice of Ward 7 on Eden’s City Council.

Jerry Ellis isn’t an individual who is idealizing about great opportunities for the city. He is living in the same neighborhoods, attending the same sporting events, worshipping in the same churches, and shopping in the same local businesses as his constituents. He hears concerns, enlists in conversations, understands financial impacts of decisions and is dedicated to enacting change.

Jerry Ellis will be my choice for Ward 7 in Eden’s City Council when elections are held November 3rd. Make him your choice and support Eden!

Recycling...Continued From Page 1 with a unanimous vote. This idea has been quite popular among local citizens and the Engineering & Public Utilities Dept. has been designing the details for several years to ensure the best possible solution.

Rockingham County Government has teamed up with Waste Management to provide the Single Stream Curbside Recycling services.

During the unveiling of the new recepticals and official announcment to the press, Waste Management brought some additional monetary support.

Manager of Community & Municipal Relations Stan Joseph presented Rockingham County Government a $25,000.00 check to Board of Commissioners Chair Mark Richardson and County Manager Lance Metzler.

The Board Chair and County Manager were all smiles receiving both the big check for the County and their big recycling carts for their homes.

Rockingham County recycling carts will be distributed mid-Oct. and continuing for five-weeks. Monday, Nov. 30th will be the first day for curbside recycling pickup in Rockingham County, NC. All recycling materials will be collected in the same cart. No separation will be required. The new service will make recycling easier than ever!

Waste Management, an experienced recycling industry leader, has a dedicated fleet of trucks, professional drivers and customer representatives to provide reliable service in partnership with Rockingham County Government. This collaboration was chosen because Waste Management understands how to

balance environmental goals with tight budgetary constraints.

The seasoned professionals at Waste Management are proven experts with mixed recycling therefore this collaboration will provide efficient, sustainable recycling solutions for Rockingham County.

A comprehensive public education/information campaign will immediately blanket the Rockingham County area to give vital details, suggestions, and recycling tips to local citizens.

County officials have already launched some aspects of the integrated communications plan regarding recycling and Single Stream Curbside Recycling to ensure residents are informed and knowledgeable about the new service. Hopefully, the communications campaign will inspire citizens to ““DO YOUR PART, THROW IT IN THE CART!” Contact Rockingham County Government for more information regarding the program. If you have questions, please call 336.342.8100, or visit MyRockinghamCounty NC.com, call Waste Management at 336.573.1618, or email them at: RockCnty@wm.com The following Rockingham County Single Stream Curbside Recycling TIPS and Recycling FAQs are two examples of the education/information campaign unfolding to familiarize citizens with this new service.

Single Stream Curbside Recycling Tips!

DO INCLUDE CLEAN ITEMS: · Office & School

County Commissioner Richardson and County Manager Lance Metzler admire the new recepticals.

The bright, blue recycling carts, with green lids embossed with recycling tips, were unveiled on the Rockingham County Governmental Center’s front lawn in Wentworth.

Engineering & Public Utilities Director Ronald Tate is a happy camper holding Rockingham County Government’s $25,000 check, from curbside recycling partner, Waste Management.

This money will support community education/ information for Rockingham County’s new Single Stream Curbside Recycling Service that starts Nov. 30th. A comprehensive, integrated, community education campaign is plastering, promoting and broadcasting curbside recycling tips, FAQs, and info throughout the County. The campaign is hitting Rockingham County citizens with details, suggestions, and recycling tips to keep residents informed and knowledgeable about the brand new service and to “DO YOUR PART, THROW IT IN THE CART!”

Recycling FAQs! What is the official start date for the curbside program?

The recycling carts will be distributed beginning the middle of Oct. and will continue up to five weeks. The actual first day of curbside pickup will be on Monday, Nov. 30, 2015.

What do I need to do to get curbside recycling service at my home?

If you are a current Waste Management customer in the unincorporated areas of Rockingham County, you will not need to do anything. Your recycling cart will come automatically to your home during the initial distribution process.

If you are not a current Waste Management customer and would like to have Solid Waste Service (weekly trash pickup, every other week curbside recycling pickup, and once per month call in bulk service), you can contact Waste Management at (336) 573-1618.

How much will the curbside service cost me?

If you are a current Waste Management customer, your solid waste fee will go from $12.78 per month, to $13.99 per month. This includes all three services (trash, recycling, and bulk). This increase will show up on your bill automatically. If you are not a current Waste Management customer and would like to sign up, the cost will be $13.99 per month for all three services. All applicable taxes will be added to the bill.

How will I know what day my curbside pickup is?

Waste Management will be sending out additional information to

Bold, colorful billboards on major thoroughfares are pushing “DO YOUR PART, THROW IT IN THE CART!” each customer in the coming days regarding scheduling for pickup for recycling. They will be determining what is the most economical and efficient pickup dates for residences in the County.

What can I put into the recycling cart?

Since the program is single stream recycling, almost all common household recyclables can go into the recycling cart. They do not need to be separated or in any type of container (plastic bags); just throw it all in the cart. A list of the most common household recyclables is available on the County website and mentioned previously in the list of Recycling Tips.

What can’t go into the recycling cart?

Contamination of recyclables is the number one problem for waste companies. We want to provide the best quality recyclables that we can to eliminate the risk of having rejected loads and the County having to pay the rejected load fee for this.

Normal household trash items cannot go in the cart like food waste, Styrofoam, cloth, broken glass, electronics, and plastic bags of any type. Please visit

our website for a list of banned recyclables for the program. If you have any doubt, please use the contact list and ask before you throw.

The Racetrack XIII : And The Honeysuckle Climbed

By Darrell Meade Gregory

As he spoke, John East, Jr. looked across his restaurant’s counter at one of his patrons, Red Haymore. Though he had heard it all before, Red listened patiently. East said, “Bill France wanted to tell me how to run my business, but I run it the way I want to.” East had closed his Draper Speedway for good instead of hanging on NASCAR’s bandwagon.

Draper Speedway had burst on the scene at the right moment, at the right place, and more importantly, the right situation. Racing had exploded on the local scene, injecting the populace with speed competition fever. The growing middle class of the Tri-Cities craved post war entertainment, whether it was from dance halls, ball games or the newest show in town, auto

racing.

Local business men and bootleggers saw an opportunity and moved rapidly to build tracks across the Piedmont area.

Bootleggers, flush with ill-gotten cash, looked for a way to launder money back into circulation by legitimate means. Since bootleggers had an interest in fast autos and gutsy financial endeavors, it was only natural that alot of tracks enjoyed some type of monetary influx and other aid while being built. The Draper Speedway seems to had the earmarks of such an attempt.

Luther Lemons was the conduit between Martinsville bootlegger Clay Earles and Draper Speedway. Clay Earles was known to be the silent money man in this small track.

Along with his Martinsville Speedway, Draper Speedway was another perfect place to bring his money back into circulation without the tax man being able to tie it in to any illegal enterprise. In those early, fullcapacity days, it was just about impossible to determine how many paying spectators were present without counting the concession sales.

The Draper Speedway boasted exceedingly large attendance numbers which do not bear out under the microscope.

After examining the grandstands, the average number of fans it could seat was about 1,400 people. That number was a far cry from the four to five thousand fans the newspapers had boasted. If there were forty cars on the roster, there was probably an average of four people per racecar in the infield, which translates to about 200 participants. At two dollars a ticket, which was two hours labor for the average local mill worker, the gate receipts totaled about $3,200 dollars. Every promoter always over inflated the attendance records for publicity purposes, and this also served to disguise the money laundering.

The perfect set-up was ruined when half-owner Luther Lemons was tragically killed in an aircraft crash at Draper’s TriCity Airport. His premature death cast a dark shadow over the future operations of the racetrack. Surprisingly, the track prospered greatly the rest of the 1950 season with Lemons’ brothers filling in for his estate.

The money rolled in, and the future was bright. It was so bright that John East, Jr. bought out the Lemon’s estate right before the 1951 season started.

In an explosive bold move, East then paved the track, which was unthought of.

Lured into paving his successful track by Clay Earles and Bill France, they convinced East that paving the track would be the wave of the future. However, East made one bold move too many, as the track was improperly paved and came apart. France and Earles left their “friend” East alone to repair the expensive damage. It took a year

before another race was scheduled. Without the charismatic Luther Lemons’ partnership with Clay Earles, the profitable money-laundering came to an end. In fact, not only was East disillusioned with France, East also had no use for Clay Earles anymore. Earles had taunted East by calling him on race day and asking East, “Is it raining yet?”

NASCAR had a strong presence in those early racetracks, for not only did it have all the major drivers signed on, it also provided affordable insurance, at one time backed by Lloyds of London. But NASCAR sanctioned tracks also had a hidden price tag, as Bill France also took a healthy part of the profits for being the race promoter. John East, Jr. was one who did not like to share the wealth, especially after the shoddy treatment he experienced with the tight friends, Earles and France.

East had lost the track’s momentum when the track was closed for paving repairs. There was still good attendance, but it never equaled the dirt track days.

By time the 1954 season had arrived, it was easy to see that the area racetracks were taking a beating in the attendance figures.

With an oversaturation of racetracks, one could race on three to five tracks a week. This took a tremendous toll on racecar owners, and the overexposure burnt the fans out. The Lynchburg track, which Clay Earles and Bill France were leasing, was forced to curtail operations by late June. At the last race at Lynchburg, there were just 700 paying customers. Lynchburg opened under new management the same summer but continued to struggle with low attendance.

By August, the Danville Fairgrounds closed after only 200 fans showed up. The over abundance of racetracks had finally caught up with the times.

The successful Morris Speedway, in Horsepasture, Virginia, was a quarter-mile dirt track that was extremely popular with the racers from Draper Speedway. The tracks were similar, and the owners evaded the pitfalls that John East, Jr. had to deal with. Coping with the downturn in attendance, the Morris Speedway owners had to contend with the larger tracks now offering “show-up” money to the top drivers. The Morris Speedway management decided that they had made their money back and staying in the racing game was doomed to failure.

Morris Speedway went the way

of the other closed tracks. The only small weekly track that survived these times was Bowman Gray in Winston-Salem, which doubled as a sports arena.

When the Draper track was built in 1949, the banked track was top line. Five years later, much has changed. Bill France once told Glenn Wood in those days, “This sport is going forward, not backward.” Newer tracks with concrete grandstands and modern facilities were the wave of the future. The untreated wooden grandstands at Draper had started showing wear, and there had been no improvements or upgrades in several years. Outhouses were starting to become a relic of the past at these sports stadiums, but the Draper track was outside the town’s plumbing service.

Additionally, most of these small tracks had already made the transition to running under the lights at night. John East resisted this movement because he had no intention to schedule Friday or Saturday night races to please the NASCAR hierarchy and their showcase Sunday races.

The tight-pursed John East would dole out no more money on the track.

Looking back, it seems like the paving of the track may have contributed to the problems manifesting themselves early on.

However, it seems like all small tracks were getting clobbered by the mid-50s in the grandstand area. The only variable in this equation that could have made a difference was Luther Lemons.

Many who knew Lemons, considered him a rising star in the Tri-City area. If Luther Lemons had lived, with his strong bond to Clay Earles, the track would have undoubtedly gone down a different path. The young Luther Lemons was a visionary and had access to make his dream of an enduring fast, quarter-mile racetrack a reality.

A surprisingly fortuitous situation occurred when the Southern Lightweight Aggregate Corporation, which made cinder blocks out of shale rock, tried to establish a plant on the outskirts of Draper. Public opposition forced the company to look for another site, and the shrewd Draper City Councilman, John East, Jr. was able to steer them to his proposed dormant housing development situated between Leaksville Junction and the Draper Speedway. The lucky East recouped all his money and made a sizable profit off of the new Solite plant while holding

Honeysuckle Continued On Page 31

OCTOBER 2015 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 31 H Honeysuckle Continued From Page 30 on to his racetrack. Content with not having to kow-tow to the supervision of NASCAR, East let his track fall into the hands of nature. The underbrush began to take over the infield and the ever present honeysuckles climbed rapidly over the grandstands, but

the seasoned, paved non-symmetrical track was still intact.

The 3 Necessary Things to Facilitate Change Did you know that Change does not have to be difficult?

It does, however, often feel uncomfortable. Even if it is a good change. Because creating change means getting outside of our comfort zones.

There are really only 3 things you need for lasting change to occur.

If you have been wanting to change something in any part of your life and wonder why things haven’t really changed, then there is one of three areas you may need to address.

In order for change to occur, you must 1) Be Willing 2) Be Ready 3) Be Able 1) Be Willing.

To be willing is more than just wanting to change. Yes. You must want change. But you must also be willing for that change to occur. You may say you want change, but if you have underlying subconscious beliefs that don’t want you to change, then you may find yourself at a standstill. For example: • You may say you want deeper connected relationships. But having that means being open and vulnerable and risking being seen for who you really are. And if you don't feel comfortable with that you may be unconsciously resisting connection and intimacy.

• You may say you want to lose weight. But if you have a secret fear that becoming slimmer will cause you to attract unwanted attention from others, then there is a part of you that is not fully willing to change.

That’s why it is SO crucial to gain one-on-one support to help you uncover the unconscious beliefs that are sabotaging before you even move on from the 1st step!

One question I first ask my clients is “what is the worst thing that could happen if you do change?” Asking this helps to uncover those hidden rears and beliefs.

2) Be Able.

This is a tricky one, as your perception of what is possible is undoubtedly tied back into your subconscious beliefs once again.

We have all achieved at least one thing that we previously thought was unattainable. You wanted it bad enough, so you found a way to make it happen right? Whether it was to ask for help, to negotiate for it, we as humans have an

astounding ability to creatively find ways to get what it is we want.

So the question really is.. are you making a conscious choice to do whatever it takes to make it happen?

3) Be Ready.

If you have already done some digging in your head and realized that you are both willing and able but thing just aren’t happening, then you simply may not be ready. For those of us who are determined hard-workers that believe they can push their way through anything, this was a hard pill to swallow.

But it’s ok if you’re not ready. To accept where you are is an essential part of the healing process.

Is your life what you want it to be? Your relationships? Your health?

Where you've been and where you came from .. All the history of your life is not who you are. It has only informed you up till now. Now. Ask yourself these questions.

• Is this really where I want to stay?

• Does who I was created to be stop here?

If not, begin to see what other potential is there. Take the steps to embrace who you really are, the one with possibility and potential for more greatness in all. Doing so will allow you to contribute and receive and higher levels.

My clients hire me because they know they need support.

They know they are in a place to access Being Ready, Being Willing, and Being Able. They know they want deep connected relationships, Vibrant health, and successful businesses. And they are ready to do what it takes to achieve those.

All truly successful people have support in the form of a coach, a healer, a mentor, a guide.

Do you have one? If not, reach out. Let's see if we're a good fit to work together.

Get the support you need to create your desired changes.

You're worth it. Just do it.

Yes. You and Your Choices Matter. Own Your Value. Get Help to Create the Changes You Want. It's All About You. And It's About Being In Touch In Life.

Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.

You no longer think of the speed limit as a challenge.

Your investment in health insurance is finally paying off.

You can quit trying to hold in your stomach no matter who walks into the room.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them anyway.

Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

People call you at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you???? " You can get into a heated argument about pension plans.

In a hostage situation you are the most likely to be released first.

No one expects you to run -- anywhere.

Latin The father of a high school senior phoned the Latin teacher and demanded to know why his son had been given a grade of F on the midyear exam.

“Because we’re not allowed to give a G,” said the teacher.

Verbal A lawyer was advising a client.

“Do you have written documentation that the used car dealer promised to service the car after you bought it?” the attorney asked.

“No, it was a verbal agreement.”

“Ach! Verbal agreements aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.”

Label Just once i like to read a medication label that says, WARNING May cause permanent weight loss, remove wrinkles and increase energy.

Playing Poker Six guys are playing poker. After losing $500 on one hand, Smith clutches his chest and topples over, dead at the table. To decide who’s going to tell his wife, his buddies draw straws. Anderson picks the short one.

“Break it to her gently,” they all urge. “Leave it to me,” he says. When Smith’s wife comes to the door, Anderson says, “Your husband just lost $500 playing cards.” “How much?” the wife yells, eyes blazing. “Tell him to drop dead!”

Huh? The awkward moment when you’ve already said “What?” three times and sty ill have no idea what the other person said. So you just agree.

If my dog could talk Dog - wat doing Me - nothing. I just stood up.

The thought of laminating something makes you feel all warm and tingly inside You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line

Couple An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy. One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee. She decided to send her husband a romantic text message and she wrote: "If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you." The husband texted back to her: "I'm on the toilet. Please advise.

Next Time, Let’s Stay in a Hotel Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. “I’ll go into town for a doctor,” the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the only doctor delivering a baby. “I can’t leave,” the doctor says. “But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.”

The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony. “What did the doctor say?” the victim cries. “He says you’re gonna die.”

Club Husband takes the wife to a club and there's a guy on the dance floor giving it large, break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works.

The wife turns to her husband and says with a smile, "see that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down."

Husband says "looks like he's still celebrating!"

Slow I don’t always pass slow drivers. But when i do, I check to see if they look as stupid as they drive.

Haunted 12 year old: Can we go to a haunted house this year?

Me: What’s wrong with the one we live in?

12 year old: What!?

Me: Goodnight, Son!

Some criminals can get away with anything ... not these You skimp on travel expenses. Twelve Middle Eastern immigrants forgot the first rule of sneaking into a country: Don’t call attention to yourself. En route to England from Germany, they snuck a ride in the back of a man’s truck. They stayed mum throughout their trip, even as they crossed the Channel into England. But once they hit Dover, they celebrated their arrival with songs and whoops. Not for long, though. The startled driver headed to a police station, where the 12 were apprehended.

You’re convinced the laws of physics don’t apply to you. Mr. Halford thinks big! The British career criminal stole a truck and loaded it with 18 pallets of stolen nickel and copper worth around $250,000. Yes, the haul was huge—too huge. Cops arrested Halford after the truck’s suspension collapsed under the weight. Earlier, Halford had stolen a car, overloaded it, and broken its suspension too.

You text and rob. Mr. Greenly dropped his cell phone near where an 84-year-old woman had her purse snatched in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Cops suspected that he might be involved in the crime when they read the phone’s last outgoing text message: "I am ready to grab some old lady’s purse."

You play both roles in a game of cops and robbers. Being a key suspect in a robbery wasn’t going to stop Mr. Montillano from realizing his dream of becoming a Chula Vista, California, police officer. Unfortunately for Montillano, his would-be colleagues put the kibosh on his plans, arresting him when he showed up to take the entrance exam. As he was led away, Montillano had one question: Could he take the test later? His request was denied.

You take the holidays too seriously. Mr. Dendy of upstate New York presented the local police station with a Christmas wreath. Since the officers were well acquainted with Dendy, they did some snooping and arrested him for stealing the wreath from a store down the block.

You air your neighbor’s dirty laundry. As she walked around her neighbor’s yard sale in Severn, Maryland, the woman couldn’t help admiring the items. The Oriental rug, the luggage, the shoes—they were exactly her style. And why not? They were hers, as was everything else on display. Mr. Perticone says somebody sold him the stuff. But cops think Perticone did the deed himself.

You can’t let go of your friends. Two New Zealand prisoners had the brilliant idea of fleeing the courthouse while tethered together by handcuffs. They might have escaped had a light pole not gotten between them.

Like a pair of click-clacks, they slammed into each other and were arrested trying to get back to their feet.

You harbor grudges. Mr. Goetz’s alleged attempt to rob a York, Pennsylvania, bank met with some snags. Cops say the first teller he tried to rob fainted and the next two insisted they had no cash in their drawers. Fed up, Goetz stormed out, threatening to write an angry letter to the bank.

You leave a far too indelible impression. Victims of a home robbery in Riverview, Florida, easily picked out Mr. Roberts from police photos.

Turns out, there aren’t too many other people with a map of Florida tattooed on their face. Still, Roberts is pleading not guilty.

Disease: Idiotitis. Causes the brain shut down and the mouth to keep talking.

Thousands affected. Might be contagious.

It’s Art Time Studio and Art Gallary explains the importance of Art Hello, my name is Teedgra Blackstock the owner of It’s Art Time Studio and Art Gallery located at 625 N. Bridge Street in Eden, NC. I’m a former art teacher. I taught art for the state of NC for eight and half years.

I had a love for art since the age of 9 years old. As an art teacher I learned that art is very important in children’s learning and development. Art helps to develop basic skills that children need including: Motor Skills, Language Development, Decision Making, Visual Learning, Inventiveness, Cultural Awareness, and Improved Academic Performance.

The purpose for opening It’s Art Time Studio was to bring culture to the Eden Community. There are also a lot of children who do not get to participate in art because it has been cut from schools.

Both Children and adults can learn and have fun at the same time. A fun two hour session is only $20 per person. You can have step by step or have an outline drawn out.

In addition, the studio is great for birthday parties, ladies night and date nights. Please stop by and “Create a Masterpiece”

Fire Wolves Martial Arts, owned by Jerry Beale is now open and located inside the Eden YMCA. You do not have to be a member of the Y to come to the classes, which are offered twice a week, Tuesday and Thursdays, for adults and children, at only $45 per month.

Beale decided to locate in the Eden YMCA because of its family atmosphere and commitment to the community. “You can’t get better than the YMCA,” Beale said about his location choice. Pete Baker of the YMCA worked with him to make sure it was feasable to have the business work out of the YMCA without the requirements of being members.

Fire Wolves is associated with the Intercontenental Tong Soo Do organization, and hopes to bring quality martial arts skills to the Eden and surrounding communities.

With the support of his family, Beale, an instrutor himself has taken training in time managment and business and has hired Head Instructor Elisabeth Stanley, 2nd Dan, for the hands on work.

The first classes were held in April and wanting to get out and help the community, he has also offered self defence classes at the library in the past.

If you or your child wish to participate and learn a new skill, build your strength and self esteme, call Beale today at 336496-7696.

Most know her as the seamstress with Judith Warren, whom she

worked with for 31 years. Her 54 years of making things fit perfiectly for others has come to full circle. With the death of her dear friend Judith, a legacy ended, and Linda was left with a dicision to make. Soon the answer became clear, although retired, she simply wanted to continue with alterations on her on time. She has now leased an area of the Judith Warren location to house her own alterations business, aptly named, “Make It Fit Moore”. The play on words was her daughters idea, and they ran with it. Now open at 640 Washinton Street, Eden, her official ribbon cutting was September 29th. Alterations from a simple hem to complex wedding and formal gown projects, Linda handles it all with a smile.

Final budget invests in public education, provides major tax relief With bipartisan support, the General assembly passed a final, $21,735 billion state budget in September that includes a responsible 3.1% spending increase, cut taxes, invest hundreds of millions of additional dollars in public education and other priorities and shores of our states rainy day and repair and renovation phones by $600 million.

Senator Bill Burger stated, “I am grateful to members of the Senate and House for their hard work on reaching a final budget agreement that is fiscally smart, sustainable and saves for the future.”

This budget benefits all North Carolina hands by providing families and small businesses hundreds of millions of dollars in tax relief, and by making a generous investment in public education, transportation and other cool priorities. The comprimise plan contianes reform that reduces the tax burden of families and small business by close to $400 million over the next 2 years.

It also increases funding for public education by more than $530 million in the first year alone and contains education reforms to reduce class sizes.

Making Flu vaccinations a top priorty for you and your family Rockingham County Division of Public Health has officially launched the 20152016 influenza/flu campaign.

Citizens of Rockingham County are encouraged to get vaccinated against the flu as soon as possible. To better serve you, the Division will host three Community Flu Vaccination Clinics. Clinic sites, dates, and times are as follows: October 1, 2015 – 9:00 am – 1:00 pm @ Reidsville Recreation Center located at 201 N. Washington Ave., Reidsville, NC October 6, 2015 – 11:00 am – 1:00 pm @ Garden of Eden Senior Center located at 508 Orchard Dr., Eden, NC October 7, 2015 – 10:00 am – 1:00 pm @ Madison-Mayodan Recreation Center located at 300 South 2nd Ave., Mayodan, NC Seasonal flu occurs every year and is highly contagious.

The flu is caused by a virus that cannot be treated by antibiotics.

The flu is much more than just a simple cold and will occur more suddenly and severely.

Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, aching muscles, cough, and sore throat. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms it is best to stay home on bed rest for a few days to avoid coming into contact with other

people. Some people are at a greater risk for developing flurelated complications, they include: children younger than five, adults 65 years of age and older, pregnant women, and others with certain illnesses or diseases (consult your medical provider if you are unsure if you are at a greater risk).

In order to avoid catching the flu, your best defense is to get the flu vaccine which provides protection for up to one year. It is also best to practice preventive actions everyday such as: covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, washing your hands with soap and water, and avoiding contact with sick people. If taken early, prescription only antiviral drugs can make your flu symptoms milder and shorten the time you are sick.

“The flu is a very serious disease that affects thousands of people nationwide each year,” stated Glenn Martin, Rockingham County Health Director. “The easiest way to protect yourself is to get your annual flu shot. With rare exception, everyone six months and older is recommended for annual flu vaccination.”

Rockingham County Division of Public Health now accepts United Health Care,

Blue Cross-Blue Shield of North Carolina, North Carolina Health Choice, MedCost, Cigna, and Healthgram insurance carriers as well as Medicare/Medicare Advantage Plan and Medicaid.

When planning for you flu vaccination, please be sure to bring your insurance card, Medicare/Medicare Advantage Plan, and/or your Medicaid card to the Health Department of the community site. If you are not covered by Medicare/Medicare Advantage Plan, Medicaid or a participating carrier, there is a
