Rockingham County Board of Elections

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Commissioner Richardson honored for service Commissioner Mark Richardson was recognized by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for meeting the requirements for the Mentor level in the Local Elected Leaders Academy. The highest level of recognition, a Mentor has completed a minimum of 82 credits (18 orientation credits + 42 focused in-depth credits + 24 elective credits) of continuing education since becoming a county commissioner.

The Local Elected Leaders Academy, a partnership with the UNC School of Government, the N.C. Association of County Commissioners and the N.C. League of Municipalities, Richardson offers local elected officials the knowledge and skills needed to lead and govern their communities.

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.

"The Academy is designed to help our commissioners by improving their knowledge of the issues and their leadership skills," said NCACC Executive Director Kevin Leonard. "A commissioner who achieves recognition through LELA has shown a true commitment to their personal development and to their constituents back home."

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

Morehead Hospital seeks affiliation with healthcare system The Board of Trustees of Morehead Memorial Hospital has announced that it has begun a search to establish a strategic affiliation with a healthcare system.

In late 2015, the board adopted a

three-year strategic plan, a process that's led to this decision.

Though Morehead has recently seen growth in patient volume and is working to add services and focus on employee engagement, it recognizes the challenges

that small, independent hospitals face in today's ever-changing healthcare environment.

"The healthcare industry is changing rapidly and rural community hospitals have unique challenges," says Judy Rouse, chairman of Morehead's Board of Trustees. "That's why we are being proactive in searching for the right strategic affiliation for Morehead," she said.

The hospital wants a strategic affiliation with a healthcare system that will share the patientcentered focus that has always been a part of Morehead's tradition.

Through affiliation Morehead would be better positioned in the industry that has seen increasing regulation, decreasing reimbursements, growing consumer needs and

rapid advancements in technology that require large capital outlays.

"It is the board's desire to find an affiliation that will maintain our quality, grow our clinical programs, while sharing our focus on providing local trusted care," says Dana M. Weston, president and CEO of the hospital. She has been at the helm of Morehead since mid-December 2015.

The search process is expected to extend into the spring of 2017, and will be led by Hammond Hanlon Camp LLC (H2C) a strategic advisory and investment banking firm headquartered in New York.

Morehead Hospital was opened in 1960 and now with around 700 employees, it is the largest employer in Eden.

by Myla Barnhardt

Eating healthy meals can be a challenge.

That's where the presentation Food For Thought can help.

The lunch time MedTalk will be offered at Morehead Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at noon.

Join Brooke Moize, a Health Educator at The Rockingham County Literacy Project, for a free box lunch and some tips on how to read food labels, make good food choices when you are dining out and implement healthy eating into all your meals and snacks.

The event, sponsored by Morehead, will be held in the

hospital's Main Conference Room, adjacent to the cafeteria.

Reservations are required. Please phone Myla Barnhardt at (336) 627-6191 to reserve your spot and meal.

“We The People” to be performed

by Theater Group With elections and Veteran's Day just around the corner, we can't think of a better way to celebrate America than with beautiful, patriotic music - from America's favorite anthems to poignant and uplifting original compositions, you'll find them in the Theatre Guild of Rockingham County's production of Pat Cook's "We the People: The Musical."

Our patriotic tableau opens as a committee discusses putting on a patriotic show for their town - but how can one show describe what America means to each of them? One person suggests using the Preamble to the Constitution as a guideline, and a wonderful idea takes shape.

Through a series of sketches and songs organized phrase by phrase from the Preamble, they show not only how the Constitution applies to our past, but also to our present and our future.

Everyday life is showcased in funny and touching vignettes, exploring the deeper meanings of the language of the Constitution. Two neighbors arguing their constitutional

rights to have crabgrass, an immigrant's heartwarming rendition of arriving in America, tributes to our military and letters home from war - all become part of this patchwork quilt of American life. This musical will serve as a fine reminder that the remarkable words written by our forefathers many years ago are still a living document, part of our lives each and every day.

"We the People: The Musical" will be performed in the Rockingham Community College Auditorium, located in the Advanced Technologies building, on Friday and Saturday nights, November 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th, starting at 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday afternoons, November 6th and 13th, beginning at 2:30 p.m. For more details and to purchase tickets in advance, visit us online at www.tgrc-nc.com. Directed by Tom Murphy with music directed by Beverly Burke, this educational and inspirational musical will leave audiences with a better understanding of the founding of America and a stronger appreciation for what makes our country unique and great today.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 established in the County at the following location: Rockingham County Extension Center, 525 NC 65, Suite 200, Reidsville, NC 27320 Mr. Strader explained that the referendum is being held to let users and producers of feed or fertilizer decide if they wish to continue the selfassessment program. This program has been in place since 1948, and the law requires that a new referendum be held every six years.

A 2/3 favorable vote will mean that growers are willing to continue to assess themselves to support agricultural research and education. The assessment is fifteen cents per ton on feed and fertilizer produced in North Carolina.

The funds, about $1.4 million annually, are collected by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and then allocated by the NC Agricultural Foundation, Inc.’s 148 volunteer Board of Directors to support agricultural research and extension projects at NC State University benefitting agriculture in North Carolina.

For more information on the referendum please call your County Extension Office at: (336) 342-8230.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 North Carolina announced recently that domestic visitors to and within Rockingham County spent a record $67.65 million in 2015, an increase of 3.4 percent from 2014.

“The 2015 figures on visitor spending represent a record high for Rockingham County and we are thrilled about it,” said Lance Metzler, Rockingham County Manager. “Our local metrics showed steady growth last year and the state’s figures are right in line with that. There are so many partners throughout this community working to grow tourism and the numbers show how important this sector is in our economic development strategy.”

Other tourism impact highlights for 2015 include:  The travel and tourism industry directly employs approximately 550 people in Rockingham County.  Total payroll generated by the tourism industry in Rockingham County was $11.35 million.  State tax revenue generated in Rockingham County totaled $3.6 million through state sales and excise taxes, and taxes on personal and corporate income. Approximately $1.63 million in local taxes were generated from sales and property tax revenue from travelgenerated and travel-supported businesses.  The tax revenue generated by travel and tourism represents a $57.00 tax savings per resident in Rockingham County.

Gov. Pat McCrory announced in May that visitors to North Carolina set a record for spending in 2015. The $21.96 billion in total spending represented an increase of 3 percent from 2014.

These statistics are from the “Economic Impact of Travel on North Carolina Counties 2015,” which can be accessed at partners.visitnc.com/economic-impact-studies. The study was prepared for Visit North Carolina by the U.S. Travel Association.

“All eight economic development regions of the state had spending growth of 2 percent or more, and 91 percent of the state’s counties saw direct tourism employment growth from 2014 to 2015,” said Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit North Carolina. “Tourism continues to be major driver of economic development across North Carolina, which is the sixth most-visited state in the country.”

Statewide highlights include: • State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending rose 6.1 percent to top $1.1 billion in 2015.

• Visitors spend more than $60 million per day in North Carolina.

That spending adds nearly $4.9 million per day to state and local tax revenues (about $3.1 million in state taxes and $1.8 million in local taxes).

• The travel and tourism industry directly employees more than 211,000 North Carolinians.

• Each North Carolina household saves $475 in state and local taxes as a direct result of visitor spending in the state.

Q & A’s: News About The Flu Vaccine!

It’s really tough to stay on top of all the health news these days. We’re here to help.

Since the flu season is right around the corner, here’s a snapshot of recent news stories about the flu vaccine.

Flu shot helps people with diabetes. The seasonal flu vaccine is now recommended for everyone 6 months and older. But for some people it can be a matter of life and death.

During a seven-year study, British researchers looked at a group of nearly 125,000 people with type 2 diabetes—people who have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems.

In those with type 2 diabetes, the flu vaccine was linked with reductions in flu-season hospital admissions, including a: • 30 percent reduction in admission for stroke • 22 percent reduction in admissions for heart failure • 19 percent reduction in admissions for heart attack • 15 percent reduction in admissions for pneumonia or influenza Among those who received a flu shot, the death rate was 24 percent lower than in those who had not been vaccinated. The study didn’t prove a cause-and-effect connection between the two. But the results are pretty compelling.

Limits of the flu vaccine “twofer.” How do infants benefit when their moms have a flu shot during pregnancy? Previous studies showed a benefit, for sure. Now we know how long it likely lasts. Researchers in South Africa assessed more than 1,000 infants whose moms received a flu shot while pregnant. During the first eight weeks after birth the vaccines were 85.6 percent effective.3 After that, effectiveness ranged from about: • 25 percent at eight to 16 weeks • 30 percent at 16 to 24 weeks It’s helpful to know this because current vaccines don’t work well in infants younger than six months, and infants have high rates of the flu. Talk to me about other ways you can protect your baby. That includes washing your hands often, keeping your baby away from sick people, and making sure everyone else in your family is vaccinated!

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.

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

Want to get a jump-start on that flu shot? Well, then, October is your month. No appointment is necessary. If you are unable to come in the pharmacy, we will vaccinate you in your car.

We are ready if you need us. If you do catch the flu this season stop in for your flu needs and talk with our pharmacist about your symptoms. We are here to help.

fragrance. Wandering Jew does this in a cool spot. Plants with colored leaves need light, but not direct sunlight. Green leaf Wandering Jew plants need less light. Water generously in summer with warm water, and mist the plant regularly. It can tolerate a dry period in winter, and in fact must not be watered too frequently during this period. Give liquid plant food at half strength once a month in spring and summer.

Repotting is best accomplished in spring. Cut back sharply at this time and use the cuttings for new plants.

There are many different varieties of Wondering Jew with an array of colorful foliage variation. Once one is grown, others will be desired. Some of them, have green leaves, while others have white striped leaves, or yellow stripes on its leaves or green leaves with white and pink stripes and some are green on top and violet underneath on the leaves.

Use the plant in many different ways. It can be used as a hanging plant, or is quite happy to sit on a windowsill or an inverted pot. It can also stand on a bright shelf or landing, or in bathrooms if they have a bright window. They will thrive in the humidity.

Also this year join us for our first annual diabetes Wellness walk free registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Our featured keynote speaker will be Dr. Marcus Duda, orthopedic surgeon specializing in Diabetic Care.

Sheriff Page commends Deputy and Trooper for saving infants life Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page would like to commend the actions of Deputy Clayton Doss and North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper T.T. Tucker in September that resulted in saving a 13 day old infant’s life.

While on routine patrol for their respective agencies on September 2nd, at around 10:20 a.m., each heard a call for help dispatched that an infant was choking/not breathing at a home in the Deputy Madison area. Deputy Doss arrived at the Doss home shortly after Trooper Tucker and found that the infant was in fact, not breathing and unresponsive.

They immediately began to administer CPR to the infant. Deputy Doss retrieved a suction device and began to suction the infant’s mouth and nasal passages while Trooper Tucker continued administering chest compression to the child. They conTrooper tinued their efforts until EMS and Fire Tucker Department personnel arrived at the scene, at which time they took over CPR efforts. The baby was revived and began to breathe again unassisted. The infant was transported to a local area hospital for a follow-up examination.

“GREAT JOB GUYS!” said Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page. “Situations like this one and the one that occurred in the courtroom recently are the reason why I have all of my personnel trained and certified in CPR by the American Red Cross. In both of these instances, they have saved a life. Families still have their loved ones today as a result of the quick actions of these officers. I could not be prouder of my Deputies, the Courtroom Security Officer that helped out the other day, and Trooper Tucker for their recent lifesaving efforts.”

Price honored by Preservation North Carolina Louise Price of Eden has been selected to receive a 2016 Gertrude S. Carraway Award of Merit from Preservation North Carolina for her exceptional There can be no doubt of the “genuine commitment to historic preservation” shown by Louise Wright Price of Eden, NC, in the decade after decade of patient, persistent effort for the preservation of Eden’s mill heritage. The monumental Nantucket Mill, called by Myrick Howard of Preservation NC possibly the greatest example of mill architecture in the state, and now the last mill standing of the huge mill complex that was the lifeblood of the community for over a century-- this has been the focus of her considerable energies for these many years.

Again and again she has escorted interested parties and possible developers through its cavernous interior. She has angled successfully for grants for architectural and environmental studies, and has hung on through years of legal tangles over ownership. Now at last it is in the hands of a developer who seems sincerely interested in responsible rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of this landmark building.

As chairman of Piedmont Folk Legacies, Inc., which she organized, she is at present negotiating an option with the same developer for possible renewal and transformation of the remaining buildings of the American Warehouse complex adjacent to the Nantucket.

During the years this has been going on, she has continued her other preservation interests, including the preservation and adaptation of the old Imperial Trust and Savings Bank building across from the Nantucket as her and her husband’s charming personal residence. The meticulously restored big downstairs room, with the

commitment to historic preservation in Eden. Price was presented the prestigious award as part of PNC’s Annual Conference in Greensboro on September 30th

vault holding Louise’s china collection, has wide windows looking out on the historic Barnett Canal and the rolling terrain of the Governor Morehead Park.

Louise was an active member of the team that created the park, which memorializes the foundation walls of the first textile mill in the area, Morehead’s 1830s “Old Stone Factory,” and the beginning of the textile industry which sustained the community for nearly 200 years.

She is working on a fund to stabilize the wall, which is suffering damage from the years of exposure to the weather.

The latest project is that she has obtained a matching grant totaling $20,000 from the Marion Stedman Covington Foundation for the preservation of what is undoubtedly the oldest dwelling in Eden, the 1810s “Superintendent’s House” overlooking the Morehead Park, and recently hosted a hugely successful fundraising event for that project in her home.

She has been an active member of the Eden Historic Preservation Commission for many years, participating in the production of the successful book (now in its second edition), A Tale of Three Cities, and has been the source of energy and stability for the Eden

at the Carolina Theater.

The Carraway Awards are presented each year to people and organizations demonstrating genuine commitment through

extraordinary leadership, research, philanthropy, promotion and/or personal participation in historic preservation.

The nomination letter that

helped make the Preservation North Carolina choose Price is below:

Preservation Society , spearheading the chief fundraiser of the Society, the Christmas Tour of Homes. For at least the last five years she has been responsible for recruiting suitable homes---a daunting task—and then planning, publicizing, and staffing the tour with volunteers.

Her husband, Philip K. Price, lately mayor of Eden, is now

brates the life and work of an iconic figure in the history of American country music who lived and worked—when he worked--in Spray, now part of Eden. It draws Charlie Poole fans from over the nation and even from overseas. This year

the BBC will be here from Britain to film the mill during the festival.

It would be hard to imagine anyone more deserving of recognition for outstanding efforts in preservation, leadership, and promotion than Louise Price.

Gripping Southern courtroom humor by J. Randlaph Cresenzo, JD, of Eden, Common Pleas, A Tale of Whoa! has been billed as a cross between a John Grisham, Harper Lee and Larry the Cable Guy kind of novel.

This legal thriller novel colored with humor, Common Pleas, A Tale of Whoa! is set in rural North Carolina in the mid1980's. With a beating gone too far, coon hounds sleeping under porch steps mixed with a Southern crime syndicate including a murder charge against an irredeemable but innocent lowlife, Common Pleas, A Tale of Whoa! is a book for anyone who enjoys a little mystery interspersed with humor.

Veteran trial attorney Bob Lee Pender, battling his courtroom adversary, the facts, and even his own client leads us through the winding journey of a rowdy, fast-paced, suspenseful high-profile murder trial made possible by the collective contributions of a sordid and colorful cast only a local courthouse could produce. This is an intense and informative tale of the mechanics and realities of courtroom justice, whether Southern or elsewhere--a tale of "Whoa!"

Interested? Who wouldn’t be? You can find the book with it’s ISBN 978-1-329-65953-7.

Publisher is Lulu Publishing.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 “In 2015 alone, the Free Clinic of Rockingham County provided over $980,000 worth of medical, dental and pharmacy goods and services to our patients, on a budget of $250,000. This investment in our community allowed many patients to control their sometimes life threatening illnesses. Since the Free Clinic is totally dependent upon private donations from the community to provide these services, events like Rocktoberfest are critical.”

The Free Clinic continues to offer a unique medical home and exceptional patient services to hundreds of chronically ill Rockingham County residents who are low income and uninsured.

It has the distinction of being one of only 16 North Carolina free clinics that have achieved the highest level of accreditation. The clinic has provided 15 years of quality, comprehensive health care.

It significantly relieves the burden placed upon local emergency rooms.

Joan Weisenbeck, Free Clinic board co-president and fundraising chair, said “I want to extend an invitation to all the caring residents of Rockingham County and beyond. Volunteering for this wonderful organization has brought me so much fulfillment. Making a difference in our community, serving those who life has dealt a tough hand and celebrating moving forward together is our goal. Please join us on October 29.”

About the Free Clinic of Rockingham County, Inc. In May 1998, the Free Clinic of Reidsville &Vicinity, Inc. opened its doors to a six-mile service radius in Reidsville to target those individuals without any form of healthcare coverage. As a result of the uninsured healthcare crisis in Rockingham County, the Clinic’s Board of Directors expanded the service radius in October 2005 to incorporate the entire county and changed its name accordingly to recognize its new service population. The Free Clinic of Rockingham County, Inc. is designed to reduce the burden placed upon hospital emergency rooms by closing the access gap in the local healthcare delivery system. By providing primary and preventative medical and dental care to this vulnerable population, Free Clinic patients experience improved health status and are able to be productive members of the workforce and provide for their families which produces a ripple effect of economic benefit across the county. To become a patient at the Free Clinic a person must have no health insurance, have income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level and live in Rockingham County.

Commissioner Keith Mabe's Recognitions from NCACC for Dedication to Professional Development Rockingham County Commissioner Keith Mabe of Eden has received many recognitions from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) for dedication to professional development.

Mabe has taken all of the classes offered by the UNC School of Government for County Commissioners; has participated in many discussion groups; plus served on numerous committees.

He said: "I have served as District Director for District 11 and served on the NCACC Board of Directors in 2012 and 2013. I was in the first graduating class to achieve the Mentor status, the highest level recognized by the NCACC in 2015."

Mabe was acknowledged by the NCACC for meeting requirements for the Mentor level in the Local Elected Leaders Academy.

A Mentor has completed a minimum of 82 credits (18 orientation credits + 42 focused in-depth credits + 24 elective credits).

The Local Elected Leaders Academy offers local elected officials the knowledge and skills needed to lead and govern their communities. As commissioners increase education and service, they earn credits toward recognition at three levels: Practitioner, Master and Mentor.

The Ball Reidsville Can Plant Contributions Committee sponsored a School Supply Drive to benefit the local Elementary School.

Moss Street Elementary is a Title 1 School with about 90% of the students participating in the Free Lunch Program. The enrollment is 430 Students. The response from the employees at the plant was tremendous. We supplied the school with 200 backpacks with the logo screened on, and a trailer full of school supplies, including over 720 glue sticks, 100 composition books, a huge plastic bin full of crayons, another bin full of pencils, over 100 my first pencils for kindergarteners, 120 boxes of Kleenex, a bin of folders, another bin of loose-leaf paper and various other things (dry erase markers, index cards, scissors, notebooks, etc.) on their supply list.

Employees from the facility donated both supplies and money for the committee to go and buy supplies. The generosity was overwhelming, especially since this was the first year such a drive was conducted.

The school was grateful for the generosity of the plant, especially in a school where many of the teachers have to spend their own money buying supplies for the students in their class.

Mike Martini, Human Resources Manager, Ms. Leslie Cassell, Principal of Moss Street, Matt Barham and Brian Hendrix, both Maintainers and members of the Committee. Missing from the picture were committee members Glenda Cardwell, Felicia Brown, and Johnny Totten.

On September 13, 2016. The Employee Counsel of Annie Penn Hospital donated ten book bags full of supplies, a case of copying paper and a box full of much needed school supplies to Williamsburg Elementary. Thank you to The Employee Counsel of Annie Penn Hospital for their generous donation and their support of the students of Rockingham County!

& Wentworth Repreve... Continued from Page 1 Reidsville, N.C. The state-of-theart recycling center is one of the most advanced in the United States, with the capacity to produce annually 75 million pounds of the highest quality, consistent, clean bottle flake.

Unifi will purchase baled PET bottles from materials recovery facilities across the eastern United States, and bring them to the REPREVE Bottle Processing Center, where undesirable materials will be sorted and filtered using multiple processes to ensure that only the proper, high-quality bottles are kept for use. Unifi will then remove labels, debris and caps from the remaining PET bottles.

These bottles will be chopped into flake, washed, dried and bagged for use in the production of REPREVE, or sold to other companies for a variety of consumer packaging applications, such as thermoformed foodgrade packaging like cups and takeout containers, as well as non-food applications such as strapping and film.

“The vertical integration of our REPREVE manufacturing process highlights an important next step in Unifi’s continued path toward sustainability and producing high-quality, valueadded products,” said Tom Caudle, president of Unifi. “The REPREVE Bottle Processing Center uses custom-designed, cutting-edge technology and provides increased flexibility that will allow us to better serve our customers, as well as create a new channel of revenue. We are also proud to support manufacturing in North Carolina and to add new jobs in our communities.”

Rockingham County provided a $25,000 matching grant that allowed the REPREVE Bottle Processing Center expansion to qualify for a Building Reuse Grant of $500,000 from the North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority under the Rural Economic Development Division at the North Carolina Department of Commerce. To support the expansion of the facility, a Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $861,000 from the North Carolina Department of Commerce was awarded to the city of Reidsville for a larger sewer line to replace aged infrastructure.

Financial hardships can leave you feeling helpless, embarrassed, stressed out, and hopeless.

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

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

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

Kentucky where he died during the 1820’s. Numerous families left Caswell and Rockingham Counties and moved to Green County in the early 1800’s.

The fifth child, Katherine Strader married Peter Lewis and moved to Georgia where she died in Henry County, August 1833. Katherine had a large family whose descendants migrated west moving into Texas and New Mexico. At least one descendant served in the Texas Rangers. Years ago I corresponded with a descendant who had written a book on this family and had records from the family Bible of Katherine.

The sixth child, Margaret Strader married Michael Daywalt (Devault) and moved to Sullivan County, Tennessee with her sister Mary Strader Shelley.

The seventh child, Lewis Strader married Mary Larimore, January 17, 1787 in Caswell County and moved to Green County, Kentucky where he purchased 350 acres of land on Trace Creek in 1808. Lewis and Mary raised seven children.

They died in 1838 and are buried on the family farm in Greensburg.

The eighth child, Peter Strader remained in Caswell County, where he married Mary Ann “Biddy” Baxter, June 11, 1788. Peter died at about the age of 43 in January 1811.

Having died at a young age the settlement of his estate would last for years finally being resolved in 1827. Peter had obtained 160 acres of land from his father in 1798. His wife would receive an allotment of land from her husband’s estate of 49 ½acres in March 1811. Other land was divided March 9, 1815 among his “six children,” Jane Kerns, Margaret McKinney, Conrad Strader, Henry Strader, Christian Strader and Lydia (Robertson). Margaret, Henry and Lydia would later move to Green County, Kentucky.

Christian Strader, son of Peter, married Evelina Burns in 1844 and would serve as Sheriff of Caswell County before his death in 1860.

The ninth child, Christian Strader married Zeporiah Summers and moved to Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.

He died there in the 1850’s. A cousin Keith Strader and I recently met with Don Strader, a descendant of Christian, who now resides in Danville, Virginia.

The tenth child, Ester Strader married William Elmore and moved to Brush Creek, Green County, Kentucky where she died in 1833. Descendants live in Kentucky and Illinois.

The eleventh and last child, David Strader remained in Caswell County on land he inherited from his father and became a leader in his community. A division of land in January of 1808 for deceased Edward Mills named David Strader as a Caswell County Commissioner.

County Tax Administration starts field work for 2019 Reappraisals Rockingham County Tax Administration is starting field work throughout Rockingham County for the upcoming 2019 reappraisal of real property.

The North Carolina General Statutes require all North Carolina Counties to reappraise real property at least every eight years. The last Rockingham County reappraisal was in 2011.

In September 2016, appraisers will start visiting properties in Rockingham County, beginning in Reidsville. Appraisers performing the reappraisal in the field will be verifying the information County Tax Administration has on real estate. They will verify this data by talking to citizens and measuring structures. They will observe the condition of structures and will make any changes to information needed since the last visit.

Field data collection and verification is an important part of the reappraisal process. Rockingham County Tax Appraisers and contractors hired by the County to assist in this project will be performing the field work.

It is important for citizens to be able to identify Rockingham County Tax Appraisers and the contractors assisting them.

Rockingham County Tax Appraisers have Rockingham County picture identification cards. They wear a bright, yellow, safety vest with a County Seal on the front and ROCKINGHAM COUNTY on the back. They will drive County vehicles with a County seal and a three-digit number starting with 9 on the back of the vehicle.

Each contractor will have a Rockingham County contractor picture identification and will wear a bright, yellow, vest with ROCKINGHAM COUNTY CONTRACTOR on the vest.

They will not be driving County vehicles. The Tax Office will study the markets in all areas of the County. In addition to field work, the Tax Office will analyze the real estate market, gather construction cost information, and research sales since the last reappraisal in 2011.

For more information or should you have questions, please contact Mark C. McClintock, Rockingham County Tax Administrator, at 336.342.8448, or at markmc@co.rockingham.nc.us

From Root to Branch David Strader acquired 304 acres of land on Hogan’s Creek from his father Conrad, for “fatherly love to his son.” David married Prudence Fisher sometime around 1794. She was named in the will of her father, Abraham Fisher. After the death of David in 1826, Prudence lived with her daughters for the remainder of her life. The United States Census for 1850 and 1860 shows them living at Oregonville in Rockingham County.

Oregonville in later years would become Oregon Hill.

The Last Will of David Strader was recorded in Caswell County, January 21, 1826 (Will Book L, page 80) and was probated in April Court 1826. Not being able to write, David signed the document with his mark, a cursive capitol letter “D.” The majority of Strader family descendants who reside in Caswell and Rockingham Counties today descend from David and Prudence Strader.

Their six children were: Lewis, Henry, John, William Christian, Mahala and Zepporiah.

Lewis Strader married Mary Weatherford, August 26, 1822.

He and several families from Bethesda Presbyterian Church in Caswell County withdrew their church memberships, loaded their wagons and moved west.

Henry Strader lived in the Oregonville community of

Rockingham County. He married Sally Moles in 1844 and moved to Calloway County, Kentucky in the 1850’s.

John Strader married Martha Rawley, daughter of James and Frances Rawley, in 1822. They lived in Oregonville and had two children, James and Eliza who married Thomas Delancey.

William Christian Strader called Christian in early Caswell County records later used the name William. The change was probably the result of avoiding confusion with his uncle and a cousin who were also named

Christian. William lived in Pelham and is buried in the Pelham Methodist Church Cemetery. He married Lucinda Lovelace in 1827 had ten children: 1) John Emerson Strader, married Martha Jane Pryor; 2) Mary Ann Strader, married John Durham; 3) David Strader, married Lucy Ann Elizabeth Walf; 4) Stephen Neal Strader married Eliza Hobbs and Sarah Virginia “Jennie” Daniel; 5) Paulina Strader, married William Meachum, John Wright and Joseph Terry; 6) George Van Strader, married Josephine Daniel and a cousin, Patience Strader, daughter of Christian and Evelina Strader; 7) Saluda Strader, married John Bragg; 8) Adaline Strader; 9) Robert “Bob” Strader, married Mary Frances Warf; and 10) Martha Virginia Strader married Franklin Monroe Travis.

Brother’s John, Stephen and George served in the Confederate Army during the War Between the States.

Mahala Strader married James French, son of Jeremiah French in 1818. They lived at Oregonville and had six children, John, David, William, Sarah, Martha and Mary.

Zepporiah Strader married Jeremiah French, Jr. in about 1832 and lived at Oregonville.

They had seven children, Prudence, Nancy, Sina, James,

The widening of Freeway between 14 and South Scales Street from 2 lane to four lane plus turning lanes in particular spots has been a mixed blessing with headaches to businesses

and customers, causing some businesses to close their doors for good, but will be a blessing once it is finished. Most businesses are partially compensated for losses they suffer due to the construction.

as most government projects seem to run, it’s past due and overbudget. Weather delays, and problems with utilities and details, caused the timeline to be far longer than expected.

The paving project also included several new bridges, on and off ramps, medians, lights and land prep.

Starting in 2012, the project was supposed to be finished over a year ago. Contractor W.C. English, Inc. of Lynchburg, Va., is in charge of the project which has now run over budget more than $4 million as of date.

Miracle... Contined from Page 21 One of Tammy’s friends put a part of a song on the wall for motivation that said “Because He lives I can face tomorrow” This song was something she looked to and encouraged her daily to remember that through the Christ, all things are possible.

The doctors were uncertain if she would ever walk again but with the support of her loved ones and the power of God, Tammy was able to come home.

When Tammy came home to Stoneville, the town welcomed her with banners and ribbons along the road with excitement as they had been missing her and Technicians work to praying for her daily. They sung teach Tammy to walk again.

“Celebration” for her as she sat in the car, as she was unable to get out of the vehicle at the time and was still in recovery. Many people from the town and First Baptist Church came and prepared and fed her meals daily for two months straight!

Tammy’s faith was renewed and after being out of church for several years Tammy went back to her church in her wheel chair and re dedicated her life to Jesus. She now tries to do what she can to let people know about the Lord. She feels like the Lord left her here for a reason and her duty is to encourage and bring others to Him. She keeps her bible with her in the store to share the word with others.

Though she is still facing the effects of the syndrome with tingling in her limbs and a blood clot from the top of her leg down to her foot, Tammy was released from her neurologist’s office because she recovered faster than anyone they had ever seen in their care.

Tammy knows the Lord has kept her alive for a reason. She has faced so many challenges; a house fire, she was born with spinal meningitis, she suffered from double pneumonia as a baby and wore braces as a child.

Proverbs 4:20 – 22 My son, attend unto my words; and incline thy ear unto my sayings…

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart…

For they are the life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Get your rakes ready!

Leaf pickup starts this month The City of Eden will begin its annual loose-leaf collections Oct. 10, ending March 3. The following schedule is the plan but keep in mind that as always, weather, equipment and the amount of debris that is out for collection may alter it at times: If your regular garbage collection day is Monday, your leaves will be collected Tuesday.

If your regular garbage collection day is Tuesday, your leaves will be collected Monday.

If your regular garbage collection day is Wednesday, your leaves will be collected Wednesday.

If your regular garbage collection day is Thursday, your leaves will be collected Friday.

If your regular garbage collection day is Friday, your leaves will be collected Thursday.

Exceptions to the schedule: • Stadium Drive towards Kings Highway, Highland Drive and Dameron Street do not follow the regular schedule but are targeted for collection on Wednesdays.

• Friday garbage and leaf collection are on the same day for N.C. 135 and N.C. 770 taking in all streets on both sides of N.C. 135 to Harrington Highway (including all streets in Indian Hills and both sides of Brammer

Road); Harrington Highway from N.C. 135 to N.C. 770 taking in both sides of Harrington Highway and both sides of Beddingfield Road to the dead end on the fire department side only; and N.C. 770 from Harrington Highway right side only back to N.C. 135.

Leaves must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day and should not be placed in the road so that traffic would be impeded. Place leaves at a location away from any objects such as parked cars, low-hanging tree limbs, power/phone/cable lines, catch basins and drainpipes. Do not place leaves in the ditch.

Sticks, rocks, bricks and any foreign type objects should be kept out of the leaves as these delay the collection process and can cause severe damage to the equipment.

We encourage you to keep leaves on your property and compost when possible. If you want leaves for gardening purposes, please contact our division for information on signing up for delivery of leaves by the truckload.

If you need more information, please call Streets Superintendent Darren Gatewood at 336-627-7783, ext.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall City of Eden releases annual report

By Melinda Ward, Wastewater Superintendent

Each year, every municipality and private corporation with a public sewer collection and treatment system is asked to send in a report for their previous year’s activities. This is to stay current with the types of treatment systems being used, the miles of pipelines in service, and any problems that were reported to the state by either the collection system or the treatment plant over the last 12 months. This is a requirement by the state for their records, but it is also a way to report to the citizens in each community what their system is like and how it has been doing.

Many citizens still do not understand what happens after they flush or what effect they have on the system when they flush the wrong things down the drain. The “Sewer Collection System Annual Performance Report” gives everyone a chance to learn more. This article serves only as a summary of the report, but I urge anyone interested to read the report in its entirety on the homepage of our website, edennc.us. Look toward the bottom under Water Quality Report.

With the recently passed Connect NC Bond, our city is expected to receive a considerable amount of grant money and loans to help us in our process of improving our sewer system. We have continued to work on several areas of our collection system, but we have had to do this work as funds became available through other state programs.

These new Connect NC Bond funds will enable us to work on the rest of the system that has been delayed for more urgent projects. In order to receive these grants and loans for sewer projects for the EPA Administrative Order, we will be required to complete our projects in the next five years. We do not anticipate having any issues meeting this timeline, and the grants will definitely go a long way in covering the associated costs without more undue burden to our customers. It will just mean a lot of work will be underway throughout the city over the next five years. Please be patient with our contractors and city personnel as we push forward in this time crunch.

Once it is all completed, we should be able to eliminate all rain related inflow and infiltration in our system that causes overflows.

Even with all of the work that has been completed, we did see an increase in the number of events from last year. It was less than it has been in recent years, but it did go up. Last year, we went from 26 to 6 events, but this past year, that number went back to 19 due to the above

average rainfall for the last 12 months. Many of the problems came from parts of the system that are due for improvements that haven’t begun. The majority, however, was a result of storm water making it into the system.

The past year has seen quite a few rain events that caused overflows that could not be stopped.

Our future upgrades should help prevent storm water intrusion as well as contain whatever makes it into our system. There is a crew, though, that has already been searching for sources and problem areas. They have found a lot lately that are being fixed as they are found. This large number of repairs only puts a dent in the work that still needs to be done, but they should be commended for their efforts.

Any work that they can complete saves the city money in the long run.

The treatment system for the city consists of one wastewater treatment plant. Mebane Bridge Wastewater Treatment plant can treat up to 13.5 million gallons a day, but for the past 12 months, the facility only averaged 4.511 million gallons a day. Much of our plant is original from 1967.

Age can wreak havoc on our structures, but our maintenance and operations staff do a fantastic job in keeping everything running properly. Hopefully a small portion of the Connect NC Bond money can be utilized at our facility in the upcoming year to upgrade one of our oldest basins that has not seen any upgrades since it was built. Even with these obstacles, our 9 operators continue to work together to efficiently produce a higher quality effluent than ever before.

For the sixth year in a row, we

were able to report no violations for a full 12-month period. The operations’ staff does an excellent job in maintaining and improving operations, keeping an eye on the little details of each process, learning about new and promising treatment options, and showing pride in their work.

We still continue to see problems that should be preventable.

There are still many overflows caused by such things as grease and rag blockages. We continue to work with commercial establishments to keep the majority of grease contained. However, it is so important that our citizens realize the role that they have in keeping our sewers in good shape. Everyone must stay aware of how the little things can either help or harm our system. Our website shows tips on dealing with household grease.

We try to get articles in the newspaper when we have to deal with frequent repeated problems, such as wipes being flushed and clogging pipes. We even have brochures in City Hall that explain how a wastewater system works so that citizens stay informed. When problems are in specific areas of town, we try to get out informative brochures or door hangers that cover how to prevent whatever the problem is.

It takes everyone in the community to make a difference.

If anyone has any further questions about our sewer system or what they can do to help improve it, please feel free to contact my office at 336-6271009, ext. 130. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have and even conduct quick tours of our facility as time allows.

City of Eden announces new website will be unveiled soon The City of Eden is pleased to announce that it has entered into a contract with CivicPlus to revamp its website, www.edennc.us. The new site is expected to launch on Nov. 10.

“We are looking forward to the unveiling of our new website this fall. I think our citizens and visitors will be pleased,” Mayor Wayne Tuggle said.

The redesigned website will be easier to use, allow for greater user interaction and will feature functionality, streaming video, an events calendar, public information and easier navigation. The current site will be operational until the new site is ready to launch.

The new website is expected to have modules that will allow ease and accessibility for economic development and businesses; public safety information; reporting issues, such as pot holes, graffiti and any other nonemergency activities; and paying bills and fees.

Having contracted CivicPlus, which is known for being the leading government website provider, the City of Eden and its citizens are looking forward to a website that will enhance community engagement and communication.

Morehead High Army JROTC Cadets learn what it takes to be a NC State Trooper Morehead High School Army JROTC cadets Steven Holland, Dylan Wiley and Angie Martinez know something about chasing fleeing cars. The cadets recently got a taste of life as a state trooper when they spent a week at the N.C. Highway Patrol's training academy in Raleigh, NC. The program is aimed at furthering teenagers' interest in a law enforcement career. During their stay, they rode in a patrol car as it sped down a track, a toned down version of the precision driving instruction cadets receive. It was probably the closest they will come to a high-speed pursuit until they fulfill their desire to join the force.

These high school students graduated from the American Legion Student Trooper Program on June 17, 2016. The week-long camp exposed the high school students to the boot camp-like training undergone by every badge-carrying member of the highway patrol. Being rising seniors at Morehead High School, this week would give them a look into the disciplined world of law enforcement.

Lights came on at 5 a.m. every day and mornings meant physical strain: push-ups, jumping jacks and leg raises. Most days offered classroom-based instruction, where they learned a range of police skills, from drug detection to crash investigation.

Lights off at 10 p.m.

Morehead Army JROTC Senior Army Instructor 1SGT David Bray said the program seeks to foster a positive outlook of law enforcement among youth eyeing the field as a potential career move. It also exposes them to the highway patrol's highly-ordered, military-style training so they can decide if the line of work is something they wish to pursue. Many participants have expressed interest in police work or military service, and the program is as close as many can get at that age.

All participants are sponsored by an American Legion Post, which pays $200.00 each to send a student from their community to the academy in Raleigh. William Johnson Post 534 of Eden, NC paid for all three cadets to attend.

The highway patrol's academy, known as the Basic School, is famous as a trying experience meant to equip incoming troopers with knowledge and discipline to enforce laws on the road. Cadets spend 29 paid weeks learning the ins and outs before graduation.

Launched in 1993, the student program gives teenagers a shortened, somewhat mellower version of what troopers undergo, officials said. But it is still designed to be exacting, with the level of difficulty rising if students break rules or fail tasks.

Military etiquette is required.

Students must begin each sentence with a "sir" or "ma'am" and end one with the same address. Failure to do so can

mean push-ups.

While hard, each cadet said they enjoyed themselves.

Students formed close bonds and learned the tricks of the trade, a preview to what many of them see themselves performing in the near future.

For the fun of it How to Tell the Weather To Tell the weather, Go to your back door and look for the dog. If the dog is at the door and he is wet, it's probably raining. But if the dog is standing there really soaking wet, it is probably raining really hard. If the dog's fur looks like it's been rubbed the wrong way, it's probably windy. If the dog has snow on his back, it's probably snowing. Of course, to be able to tell the weather like this, you have to leave the dog outside all the time, especially if you expect bad weather.

For the Fun of it...

Farmer Joe's Day In Court Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?," questioned the lawyer.

Farmer Joe responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the......."

"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'"

Farmer Joe said, "Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."

The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move.

However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me.

He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?"

The Farmer and the Pig A farmer and his pig were driving down the road when a cop pulled him over. The cop asked the farmer, "Didn't you know it is against the law to ride with a pig in the front of you truck?"

The farmer replied, "No, I didn't know that." The cop asked the farmer where he was going and he said, "To Memphis".

The cop said, "I will let you off the hook this time if you promise to take the pig to the zoo when you get to Memphis." So the farmer promised he would.

Several days later the cop spotted the farmer with the pig driving down the road and he pulled him over again. The cop said "I thought I told you to take this pig to the zoo when you got to Memphis."

The farmer replied, "I did and we had so much fun, I taking him to Kings Island now".

All Booked Up A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, nonantagonistic relationship. All to no avail though, as she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice, and generally making life unbearable for the farmer and his new bride.

While they were walking through the barn, during the forced inspection, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly. It was a shock to all no matter their feelings toward her demanding ways...

At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would shake his head no, and mumble a reply.

Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about. The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy and I would nod my head and say 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'Can I borrow that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't, it's all booked up for a year.'"

Penny For Your Thoughts After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing coming from his room.

Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die.

No amount of talking was helping.

His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted.

In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed, and then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"

Q: What do you call two fat people having a chat?

Special Pig Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity roused, he ask, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?"

"Well Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away. Saved my life!"

"And the boar tore up his leg?" "No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire. Started in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin' like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the darn thing had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!"

"So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?" "No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out 'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life."

"And that was when he hurt his leg?" "Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too."

"OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?"

"Well", the farmer tells him, "A pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once."

The Bar Mitzvah Two bees ran into each other. One asked the other how things were going.

"Really bad," said the second bee, "the weather has been really wet and damp and there aren't any flowers or pollen, so I can't make any honey "No problem," said the first bee, "Just fly down five blocks and turn left and keep going until you see all the cars. There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there are all kinds of fresh flowers and fresh fruit."

"Thanks for the tip" said the second bee and flew away.

A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again and the first bee asked, "How'd it go?"

"Fine," said the second bee, "It was everything you said it would be."

"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.

"That's my yarmulka," said the second bee, "I didn't want them to think I was a wasp."

The Brown Apple A four-year-old boy was eating an apple in the back seat of the car, when he asked, "Daddy, why is my apple turning brown?"

"Because," his dad explained, "after you ate the skin off, the meat of the apple came into contact with the air, which caused it to oxidise, thus changing the molecular structure and turning it into a different color."

There was a long silence. Then the son asked softly, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"

Q: How many tickles does it take to make an Octopus laugh?

A: Ten-tickles

Seeing Eye Chihuahua There's a guy with a Doberman Pincer and a guy with a Chihuahua.

The guy with the Doberman Pincer says to the guy with a Chihuahua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The guy with the Doberman Pincer says, "Just follow my lead."

They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman Pincer puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in.

A guy at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Doberman Pincer says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The guy at the door says, "A Doberman Pincer?" He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're very good."

The guy at the door says, "Come on in."

The guy with the Chihuahua figures, "hey why not?," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in.

The guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The guy at the door says, "A Chihuahua?"

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You mean they gave me a Chihuahua!?"

IGotBusted “I was on Facebook at work, and my boss walked up. I slammed down what I thought was my laptop screen, but it was actually my desktop monitor.”

“I lied and told my dad school was canceled. He said, ‘Let’s go see a movie.’ We got in the car, and he dropped me off at school.”

“I was Facebooking in church, and the usher passed by and whispered, ‘You better be texting Jesus.’”

@ Home with ADTS

by Cathy Powers, Executive Director

ADTS Highlights Year End Accomplishments In the past fiscal year, through our various programs and supports, Aging Disability & Transit Services (ADTS) has provided direct services to more than 17,000 residents across Rockingham County. ADTS has provided services within the community and home setting for more than 40 years with the goal of improving the health and quality of life for our participants and their families. Our services are driven by community need and sustained through community support, as such, we feel a great sense of responsibility to the residents of Rockingham County and are delighted to share some highlights of the past year with you.

This year the Center for Active Retirement , with state recognition as a center of excellence, served 164 people through its various activities and trainings designed to arm individuals with the information they need to remain active and healthy; address health risks such as falls; manage chronic diseases; and recognize the importance of selfcare when acting as a caregiver for others. By offering earlier interventions, we give individuals the information and support to better manage and avoid risks commonly associated with aging. The Center also promotes social and civic engagement and offers a variety of classes and activities to build new skills and enhance quality of life – including computer literacy, line dancing, and aerobics.

Good nutrition is widely recognized as a critical component of long-term health and well-being. Locally we see tremendous benefits of daily, home-delivered meals and social contact for homebound seniors.

According to studies presented

by Meals on Wheels America, an overwhelming percentage of Meals on Wheels recipients report that participation in the program helps them eat better, remain at home and increases their feeling of security. This year ADTS provided more than 52,182 meals to homebound seniors in our county. More than

Powers

22,709 additional meals were provided through the sister congregate nutrition program, Meals with Friends.

For the hundreds of people served through our nutrition programs, the benefit goes beyond the nutritious meals. For many, the daily contact with our dedicated volunteers reduces social isolation and increases the person’s overall well-being and sense of security.

By offering community based supports we enhance the ability for older adults and adults with disabilities to remain in their homes, delaying or preventing premature or unwanted placement in long term care facilities. Through the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA); In-Home Aide support services and the LEAF Adult Day Care/Health Center, we offer individually tailored care plans designed to address each participant’s unique care needs. Last year our In-Home Aide services averaged more than 21,000 service hours a month in the homes of individuals with physical and/or cognitive impairments. This program provides assistance with essential daily activities in the areas of personal care and home management tasks. The LEAF Center served an additional 41 people with daily programming designed to enhance socialization, creative thinking and physical activities that enrich their lives while offering support services and respite for family caregivers.

ADTS continues to serve the public transportation needs of Rockingham County, with the RCATS fleet and skat bus transportation systems. This year RCATS operated a fleet of 26 vans while continuing to serve as the one-call center responsible for coordinating all Medicaid transportation. Over the past year, our vans traveled nearly 630,000 miles providing incounty transportation to over 14,209 residents. The transit department has experienced significant growth as we expanded

the skat bus system to include fixed routes in Reidsville and Western Rockingham County.

The bus system has provided more than 28,000 trips this year alone. The fixed routes and connector system provides unparalleled access across Rockingham County and is positioned to have significant impact around issues such as education, employment, and access to health care.

It goes without saying that we couldn’t accomplish all that we do without support from our community. With the generous financial support from our corporate partners, the United Way of Rockingham County, the Reidsville Area Foundation, our private donors and all of the local businesses that have supported us through our fund-raising efforts, we are able to expand our reach to meet the ever increasing needs of our community. ADTS also appreciates the continued support from our elected officials and town managers. Our collaborative partnerships with the county and local municipalities have been instrumental in the continued success of our programs, improving the health and quality of life for individuals and families across Rockingham County.

We also recognize that none of this is possible without the dedication of our staff and volunteers. Our team of 260 staff and 450 volunteers are the backbone of our service delivery.

Over the past forty-one years ADTS has seen many changes.

However, the commitment, passion and expertise of our team have been unwavering. The dedication of our staff, volunteers, board and contributors have positioned ADTS as a leader in the field of nonprofits and more importantly, at the forefront for enhancing the quality of life for the residents of Rockingham County, a position we take very seriously.

We hope this year end review has provided valuable information about the ways we are continually working to meet the needs throughout the community. If you’d like more information on the programs presented in this article or if you would like to get involved with ADTS, contact us at (336)3492343.

ogy. The building features examination rooms, a trauma and emergency department, skills labs, patient care areas, ICU/birthing center, and a surgery/trauma department site. An atrium area is specifically designed for use by students and the community and features a special brick wall sculpture titled “The Healing Touch “ created by Brad Spencer of Eden. There are quiet spaces for study groups in addition to areas where students can review and critique justcompleted patient scenarios.

“One of the biggest challenges that educators have is providing a hands-on training environment for our students.

Traditionally, health sciences students are placed in a variety of hospital and doctor’s office settings in an effort to have them experience a wide variety of patient care; we call these clinical experiences,” explained RCC’s president, Dr. Mark Kinlaw. “Where previously our students worked in isolation and in a variety of buildings across campus, now students from all disciplines will come together, just like a real hospital, to provide medical care. We at RCC are dedicated to providing the best education possible for our

students, and this simulated hospital will help us prepare students for success.”

The building was constructed in 1995 as a multi-purpose facility featuring a child development center, senior center, and classrooms and labs for Early Childhood and health sciences programs. In 2011, college trustees voted to renovate the building to include a simulated hospital -- a state-of-the-art facility where students benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to health education. Students use a variety of low- and high-fidelity programmable mannequins, video equipment, and computers to experience realistic case scenarios and develop their skills in a safe setting.

In addition to hands on classrooms there are simulated hospital areas including Emergency Department including it’s own Ambulance bay and entrance, and two trauma units.

There is a large 10 bed Nursing Skills Lab designed to allow students the opportunity to practice their basic assessment skills in a hospital setting. There is an ICU, Birthing Center, and Surgical

Hospital...Continued from previous page area which contains a dedicated surgical technology lab.

To support the effort, the Rockingham Community College Foundation launched a drive to raise funds for construction and equipment. The “Campaign for Advanced Healthcare Education” raised $3.8 million of the total project’s $4.6 million target; a portion of the funds raised were from donors who transferred their

gifts from a project to construct a civic center on campus; college trustees voted to suspend that project.

A $1.27 million contribution by the Reidsville Area Foundation enabled the simulated hospital project to be reduced from three phases to one, saving time and dollars. A number of other organizations, businesses, and individuals have contributed to the project. The fundraising

campaign continues, with donations going to provide equipment. Individuals and firms interested in sponsorship opportunities are invited to contact Cindy Sarwi in the RCC Development Office.

The building is named after Dr. N. Jerry Owens, Jr., RCC’s second president, who served as president from 1983 to 1996. He later served as a trustee.

Clark, Patterson & Lee, an architectural firm with offices in Raleigh and Charlotte, served as project architect. H.M. Kern, of Greensboro, was the general contractor.

I am Reece Pyrtle, Republican candidate for County Commissioner.

People have asked me why I am running for this office, and my reply is because I know that our greatest resource is not the four rivers that run through the county. It’s not our proximity to Greensboro or Danville.

It’s not future interstates or mega parks or industrial developments.

Our greatests resource is our people. I pledge to work with you, the people, for job growth, workforce education, public safety and fiscal responsibility.

I will listen to your concerns and help build a better future for all of us.

This is my promise...

The Racetrack XXV: Quiet Norman In the late hours of a Sunday afternoon there was a circle of men forming around the front end of a racecar. The scene was silent compared to the waning noise of the spectators leaving the race track. A few drivers gathered around hoping that the engine would be disqualified and elevate them into the money.

One man stood up from his stooped position at the side of the 216 cubic inch engine and still holding his measuring device, looked up. With all yearning to hear, Bi-State tech man Calvin Thompson said, “He’s legal.” Norman Hall held his hand out for winning the twenty-dollar protest fee as well as the first place winnings.

After the exciting and controversial season championship race that earned hometown favorite Jimmy Griffin his first of many trophies, track owner Al Lillard was pushing to run a few more races before cooler late fall weather closed his track down for the winter. The week after the big championship race, the racing faithful came to squeeze in another barn-burner before the end of the season.

Curtis Scott Jr. of Leaksville and Clarence Pickeral of Ridgeway won the two ten lap heat races. The previous week’s champion, Jimmy Griffin took the consolation race. The persist-

ent Norman Hall from Spray came from the back and slowly worked his way to the front.

Pickeral had taken over first place and did a good job, holding Hall off to secure another win in Willie Chilton’s No. 3.

Hall had his hands full, trying to hold on to second place in front of Griffin. The fans felt like they had gotten their money’s worth and were ready to return the next week for what was rumored to be the last race of the 1960 season.

Norman Hall was listed in the newspapers as being from Draper and Spray. Hall was another hometown boy that was fielding a very competitive hobby car, a ’37 Plymouth. Hall wasn’t as dynamic as some of the other winners at Bi-State but he placed consistently up front.

Hall rounded out the list of winners of the 1960 season with a win and many top three finishes.

With his No.22 maroon Plymouth, he surprised the fans with his previous 1959 hobby championship win against a formidable field. Hall remembers that his friend, Clarence Pickeral, protested him that day.

This was not the first or last time Hall was protested. For some reason, the unassuming Norman Hall was constantly overlooked.

Many other racers found it hard to believe that Hall could build

an engine to outrun theirs, but he was never found running an illegal engine. Hall was not involved in the alcohol business or other nefarious activities. He never caused any drama at the tracks and was not involved when altercations broke out.

Norman Hall was no fluke.

Picking up the mechanic business from his father at an early age, he gained valuable experience. A sharp mechanic at Mize Motors on Bridge Street, the Chrysler dealership in town, Hall knew the in and outs of the Plymouths that he worked on everyday and was able to initiate a few innovations of his own.

His opponents consistently ignored him and were incensed when he often came out in front.

Hall was protested more than once at Bi-State for running an overbuilt powerplant but he always took home the extra cash after he was found running in spec.

Norman Hall also credits about four friends that helped him out on his car. Most of the cars running had a lot of family and friend support. None of the racers were big time and they worked in their blue collar jobs all week for a chance to take to the ovals on the week-end. At this time, it seemed like all racing fans had a stake in Bi-State.

Owning cars, driving cars, working on cars, scrounging for parts, running concession stands, selling programs, furnishing medical personal as well as law enforcement were all involved. This core group was there every Sunday with their money. As tight as money was, it took an effort by everyone to put a car on the track.

The 1960 season finally

Al Lillard presents Amateur Champitonship Trophy to Norman Hall came to an end in late October.

Another member of the Bi-State owner group, Nelson Hyler, decided that it was time to leave.

This left Al Lillard and his partner Garland Mitchell with responsibility for the racetrack.

Hunter Long had left earlier to pursue his tobacco buying career which weakened the rest of the co-owners. Losing the NASCAR sanctioning and sportsman class races did hurt the attendance but Lillard did not have to pay the premier racing association’s exorbitant fees. Bi-State, Danville Raceway, Rainbow Speedway, and South Boston were running the hobby car classes that fed the drivers with races every weekend.

Lillard and Mitchell knew that they had their work cut out for them. Two years of operating had started to wear the infrastructure of the track down.

Even after massive repairs before the track reopened, the grandstands were showing wear and the wooden fence had been beaten badly by cars barreling through them.

Lillard wasted no time over the winter making repairs.

Unlike the previous year when Bi-State was the last track that opened in this area, he was determined to get an early start.

Garland Mitchell assumed his duties as pit steward and Al Lillard added flagman to his duties as director. Lillard set the date of the first race of the 1961 season on March 20th. As the race date crept up, there were a few new cars ready to go racing as well as the established racers from last year. Who would come out on top this season?

Jesus Saves

An outstanding crowd showed up to support Nancy Pittin and Elaine Penn as they hosted this year’s CD Release party at The Mad Bean Coffee Shop, at 100 S. Market St., Madison, NC. With a small donation, the community as well as supporters were able to hear outstanding music and enjoy food at no extra cost all evening in a relaxed and elegant environment.

Nancy and Elaine are two gifted and pleasant women who not only make amazing music but they put forth efforts to help others. This year’s party collected donations that are going directly to Hospice. Elaine

explained that there is a stigma in connection to Hospice and their goal is to bring awareness to the good Hospice actually brings for people by improving their patients and families quality of life.

Nancy plays at annual events and is a sound healer who specializes in meditation and helps others with loss and grief.

Elaine comes from a long line of family talent and even grew up in a musical home with a family band and she does music for her church “Unity” in Greensboro, NC. Elaine is now a motivational speaker and an executive coach. Together they sing inspirational songs about hope, love

and the joy of God. They decided to host the party at The Mad Bean because of the energy and vibration of the wonderful location and they wanted to show their support of Madison NC and The Mad Bean, they are so proud of Daniel and the team!

Special guests included Jack King on guitar, Steve McCue on drums, Chris Micca on bass, George Penn on sac, Dixie Penn and Georgianna Penn on vocals, dancers and more.

The music they played truly is amazing and with their new CD “Everyday Amazed” it is easy to say that the listeners of their music are amazed every day!

Cholesterol - Silent but Deadly What you need to know about cholesterol, the good, the bad, the avoidable, the flexible.

Cholesterol is a soft, fat like stuff in your blood and body's cells. Everybody has it.

Everybody needs it for producing cell membranes, hormones and other body functions. It becomes a problem when there's too much in your blood.

Cholesterol is a mean, sneaky killer. It silently builds up in the walls of your arteries overtime. When the blood flow to your arteries is slowed down or blocked so that enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart or brain, you may suffer chest pain, a mild heart attack or stroke. If the blood supply is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a very serious heart attack, stroke, or death.

Because there are no signs this is happening until it may be too late, you need to have a blood test done to find out your cholesterol numbers. The testers called lipoprotein profile.

Where do I get the test?

Who does it? This blood test can be done in a clinic, lab or at your doctors office. You shouldn't eat for 12 hours before the test.

When you make a time for the test, you'll be told what to do to prepare for it.

If your total cholesterol is between 200 and 240 your in the borderline high range. Higher than 240, you're in a higher risk range and need to make some changes. But this is good news.

Because you know. And you can make the changes to prevent further risk to your health.

How do you get cholesterol?

One, your body makes some of it.

And the rest comes from cholesterol and animal products you eat. Things like meat (pork, beef, bacon, hot dogs, lamb, ribs, etc.) poultry (chicken, duck, turkey) fish, eggs, butter, cheese and whole milk, have more cholesterol and may be a problem for you. Food with saturated fats, processed foods and fried, also calls the body to make more cholesterol. So you have some choices here.

Foods that don't have cholesterol are plant-based, Fruits, vegetables, cereals, and grains.

What does “good cholesterol” mean? HDL is the good

stuff. Your body makes it for your protection. It carries the bad stuff away from your arteries and may reduce your risk of a heart attack.

A healthy diet and exercise make more HDL. How can you do it?

Eat more fruits and vegetables, at least five servings a day and less fatty foods. Eat fish, poultry without skin, and leaner cuts of meat instead of fatty ones. Bake, instead of frying: chicken, fish, okra or green tomatoes. Enjoy 30 to 60 minutes of real physical activity most days of the week.

Maintain a healthy weight. Don't smoke or hang out with people who do. Eat six or more servings of whole grain cereals, breads, and pasta. Use 1% or fat free dairy products rather than whole milk dairy products.

Don't take those high, “bad” LDL Numbers sitting down. The good news is you can do something about your cholesterol numbers. You can turn them around and make them change. And you can see the results pretty fast.

Get started. Use variety to keep your interest up, walk, swim, or ride a bike. Start slowly, build up to 30 minutes of activity on most or all days of the week, whatever your doctor recommends. Try exercising at the same time of day so it becomes a regular part of your day. Drink a cup of water before, during and after exercising. Check with your doctor, join an exercise group, health club or the “Y”. Many churches and senior centers offer exercise programs. Don't get discouraged if you stop for a while.

Start again gradually and work out to your own pace. Don't engage in any activity that causes chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness. If this happenes, stop.

Don't exercise right after meals or when very hot and humid. Ask family and friends to join you. It's more fun and it's good for them, too.

Rx. Life saving medicine.

The new cholesterol lowering drugs have made a big difference for lots of people. It's important to follow the directions carefully and make sure you're following your healthcare professionals care as prescribed. Make sure the healthcare professional knows all the medicines you are taking so they don't work against each other.

for the community and for yourself!

Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation The Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation provides an opportunity for the community to support the many health care services that are offered through Morehead Memorial Hospital.

Contributions to the Foundation are used to support and enhance services such as the SmithMcMichael Cancer Center and the Morehead Nursing Center.

Additionally, contributions support future development and improvement of the hospital facilities. Many lives can be touched through the community’s support of the Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation.

As the costs of providing basic health care services continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important to support the fund raising efforts of the Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Morehead Memorial Hospital receives no local tax support.

It is financially self-sustaining.

Income from insurance programs falls short of covering the full cost of providing care.

In an effort to address these increasing challenges, the Morehead Memorial Hospital Foundation was established in 1996. The Foundation is a separate, not-for-profit organization created to serve the hospital.

Contributions are tax deductible.

Gifts of cash, stocks, bonds and land are all acceptable, as well as planned giving through estate planning. By seeking and attracting charitable contributions, the Foundation is working to enhance the quality of health care in our community and assist in reducing the costs of those services.

Sponsorship Levels: Donor board Sponsorship levels provide an opportunity for donors to make a gift to the hospital through the Foundation with a variety of options. Supporters have the ability to decide what level is most comfortable for them and make their giving decision on that basis. All contributions are special to our mission and are appreciated.

Change a Life Do you want to help the animals but don’t have the time to volunteer at Friends of Eden Animal Shelter or the space to adopt a new family member? Is your company, club or school class looking for a meaningful way to “give back to the community?”

You can show you care every day of the year through our Dog Kennel Sponsorship Program, helping the many dogs at the Friends of Eden Animal Shelter while they wait for their forever families.

It is expensive to care for each animal, maintain the structure, kennels and equipment of the shelter, as well as provide veterinary care, vaccines, and medicine for the animals in our facility. Your donation will not be linked to a specific animal; rather it helps any animal that

may come into our shelter.

This is a great opportunity for families, clubs, classes and businesses to directly support the animals we rescue. By “adopting” a kennel, your taxdeductible donation will help ensure that each dog and cat in our care receives a warm, comfortable place to stay for as long as it takes to find their forever home. For as long as it takes! Of course we always hope that a forever home is just a day away, but we often find that many of our amazing animals sadly have to wait longer.

In return for your sponsorship, not only will you receive the reward of knowing you have helped animals in need, but you will also receive the following recognition: A highly visible, personalized plaque acknowledging your

sponsorship displayed on a dog kennel at our rescue. A sponsorship certificate for you, your home, office or business.

Recognition on Friends of Eden Animal Shelter website and our Facebook page.

A sponsorship is a great way for local companies to receive public recognition for their support of the Friends of Eden Animal Shelter. Your sponsorship plaque will be seen by the hundreds of people who visit the rescue each year. Think of all those people seeing your business’ name and knowing that your company helps animals in need.

Sponsorships are a wonderful way to pay tribute to a beloved person(s) or pet(s).

Sponsorships can be made in memory or honor of a loved one(s) or pet(s). For those pet parents who love their pets like a

family member, this program represents a great opportunity to help other animals find their own loving, forever homes.

Vocational Rehabilitation Services Celebrates Disability Employment Awareness Month 2016 Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a time to celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. To reflect the important role disability plays in workforce diversity, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy announced that the theme of 2016’s official National Disability Employment Awareness Month is “#InclusionWorks.” which marks 71 years, 1945-2016, since the first observance. NDEAM’s history dates back to 1945, when Congress declared the first week in October each year as “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was dropped to acknowledge individuals with all types of disabilities.

In 1988, the federal legislature expanded the week to a month and changed the name to NDEAM. When the department established ODEP in 2001, the agency assumed responsibility for NDEAM. ODEP created this year’s theme with input from a wide variety of its partner organizations, including those representing employers, people with disabilities and their families, and federal, state and local agencies. The hope is that the hashtag theme spurs both individuals and groups to post images and stimulate discussion on social media about the many ways “inclusion works.”

Vocational Rehabilitation Services’ mission is to promote employment and independence for people with disabilities through customer partnership and community leadership. Their vision is that North Carolinians with disabilities will live and work in the communities of their choice with economic and other supports available to help them achieve and maintain optimal self-sufficiency and independence.

Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR) is a division of North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services. VR provides counseling, training, education, transportation, job placement, assistive technology and other support services to people with physical, psychiatric or intellectual disabilities and to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing or have other communicative disorders to assist them with living independently and with finding and staying on the job.

Helping their customers find and keep a job is the main goal of VR. After an evaluation of the

customer’s strengths, skills and experience, they create an employment plan. The customer and counselor jointly create this employment plan that may include vocational evaluation, diagnostic services, physical and mental restoration, assistive technology and transportation. It may also include modifications to vehicle, home, job and worksite as well as personal assistance, college or vocational training and on-the- job training.

VR staff provide information on résumé preparation, interviewing and developing job leads and assistance in locating a job. After employment the VR counselor and customer stay in contact to help make sure the job is a good match. A community rehabilitation program may provide services such as job coaching, supported employment and adjustment activities.

VR has partnered with local schools to help students make a successful transition from school life to a job or career. Those services assist individuals with disabilities to find or keep employment that is compatible with their skills and interests.

VR’s rehabilitation engineers also consult with employers to remove architectural barriers in order to accommodate employees with disabilities. Examples include adaptive computer access; augmentative communication; seating/mobility; and vehicle, home and worksite modifications.

VR also offers benefits counseling. In North Carolina, the federal Benefits Planning Assistance and Outreach initiative operates under the name Making Employment a New Success (MEANS). This service helps Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability recipients understand how going to work often has a positive effect on their benefits payments.

You become eligible for services if you have a physical, psychiatric or intellectual disability that affects your ability to find or keep a job and require the services VR provides to prepare for, find or keep a job or if you have a disability and are receiving Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Income benefits and you intend to get or keep a job.

To contact Vocational Rehabilitation Services, visit 116 NC 65, Reidsville, NC 27320 or call 336-634-5611. VR serves all 100 counties in North Carolina; view a list of offices on VR’s website at www.ncdhhs.gov/divisions/dvrs.

Riverfest brings smiles to all ages Thirteen is usually thought of as unlucky, but that wasn’t true for this year’s 13th Annual Riverfest. The weather was perfect and the atmopshere was the same.

This year even had rides for the children and adults, which was a new twist to the event.

Cindy Adams, Coordinator of Tourism & Special Events of the City of Eden said, “What a weekend!! We had beautiful weather, record crowds and lots of smiling faces!! Thanks to everyone who supported the festival by coming out and enjoying it. We had a great time!”

Children enjoyed the rides, face painting, toys and shows while the adults shopped, ate and enjoyed the music, rides and shows.

The Riverfest celebrates Eden’s art, history and river h eritage each year in the Fall.

Historical exhibits are a mainstay throughout the event each year.

The two day festival kicked off with rides and a concert by Trail by Fire, a Journey Tribute band.

Saturday started early with over 100 artisans and crafters, food vendors, local businesses sales and interacive arts.

Peppa Pig, Star Wars Stormtroopers, Batman, Ninja Turtles and more were big hits with the little ones.

Saturday night brought the headliners GrooveTown to the stage and hundreds came out to hear the evening’s concert.
