Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County is proud to announce that it has received a $10,000 Respite Care grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The Respite Care Grant Program recognizes family caregivers and the vital role they play by supporting nonprofits that address the episodic respite care needed to prevent caregiver ‘burn out’. ADTS will use the grant to provide respite care for families with individuals with paralysis through participation at our L.E.A.F. Adult/Day Health Center or in-home care. Ashely Cooper, Director of Adult Day services said, “We are humbled and thrilled to have been chosen by the foundation among so many applicants around the country. It shows their commitment to quality care for people with mobility issues and their caregivers. We look forward to offering respite care to families and caregivers in Rockingham County in need of a break.” Cathy Powers, ADTS Executive Director noted, “We are so grateful to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for their generosity. This grant will not only provide direct care for people in need, it will help bring attention to the challenges faced by family caregivers. We hope this grant will serve as leverage as the agency seeks funding to provide a full range of services aimed at supporting people to live independently regard-

life and how we tend to take it for granted. If you stop and think about how much water we need, you soon realize that it touches almost every aspect of our life. I also mentioned that we pull from the Dan River for our drinking water source as well as play in both the Dan and Smith River. What would happen if we took their quality for granted? Our treatment plants are great, but they can only do so much. If the streams become too polluted, treatment becomes difficult and in some cases, not effective. We have good, clean water in Eden because we have a good, clean water source. The following are tips to make sure that we continue to have a good, clean water source in our area. Everyone must realize that rain washes anything on the streets and other paved surfaces down the storm drains and into the nearby creeks and rivers. Being aware and responsible can go a long way to reducing the pollution. • Keep leaves and grass off of the sidewalks and streets. If the city is picking them up for you, make sure that the area is clean afterwards. Don’t wait for the next rain to clean it off or a good

thing to keep it covered. Cover the area with plants to help hold it in place and then spread mulch around it so that it is not prone to runoff. Even just mulch would help. It could also improve the appearance of your yard. • Clean up after your pets if they do their business outside. If you take them for a walk, always bring a small bag to pick up any surprises. You’ll make your neighbors happy and you’ll keep it from spreading E. coli to the streams. Even if it’s your own yard, it’s good to pick it up routinely and dispose of it in the garbage. • Keep all of your trash bagged properly and in cans. There shouldn’t be any way for trash to fall out and litter the streets. Also, if they are bagged properly, trash won’t fly out of the truck as it rides through town. • Pay attention to your vehicle and make sure that no fluids are leaking from it. This may require routine tune ups or you can do it yourself, as long as you properly dispose of any used fluids. We have a drop off spot on Mebane Bridge Road. Also, some auto-

If you want to keep your driveway clear, always shovel before you salt. It’s important to also note that salt only works when the temperature is above 15 degrees and you only need a little to do the job. Excess salt can kill vegetation around it and

cause a lot of problems when it reaches the river. For colder temperatures, you can also use sand or kitty litter. It provides the traction that you will need and will not cause any pollution. Your actions may seem small, but they are important. If enough people are aware of how their actions affect the environment, it could even spread to others around them. Years ago, pollution was dealt with by sending it downstream of communities or diluting it to the point that they no longer noticed it. There was no thought about the impact to anyone that may live in that area downstream. Once they realized the problems, changes started to occur. Slowly attitudes changed and people became more aware and acceptant of the need for improvements. That’s why I keep writing these articles in the hopes that more awareness will slowly bring great improvements to our area. We love our rivers, so let’s do our part!
Letter written to Morehead Memorial Hospital and turned over to Eden’s Own by Ronald Gauldin to print. I am a 72 year old disabled veteran who has been treated by your hospital (Morehead Memorial Hospital) staff Dr. and nurses on numerous occasions. I have always been treated very well on each visit to your facility. Due to an accident in November 2016, I went to the ER for treatment of a broken ankle and afterward of X Rays and temporarily made comfortable, it was found that I had broken my ankle in three places. I was referred to Dr. Mortenson for further treatment, which included two surgeries and numerous office treatments in between the two surgeries and after the second one, for months, and was also set up with home health nurses three times a week. This Dr. and his staff were the most professional and courteous medical personnel that I have ever had the privilege to know. Furthermore I have never been treated with such grace, courtesy, respect, dignity, and most compassion I have ever been given by anyone inside or out of the medical field. Dr. Mortenson is so caring and has such a genuine concern for his patients, and has passed this on to his staff. I was so overwhelmed at such treatment, I find it hard to put into words. I hope I have expressed how grateful I am for them. If there is any kind of award that you give to your staff for outstanding people that go "above and beyond the call of duty" It is most certainly deserved by Dr. Mortenson along with his staff. All doctors and nurses as well as other medical personnel could learn a lot from this man, and I pray he will be on your staff for many years to come. Sincerely, Ronald L Gauldin, Eden, NC

One of her favorite parts of the job was celebrating several 100th birthdays, meeting great families and residents that touched her life. One of her most memorable events was when a dump truck literally ran into the building on April Fool’s day, and no one was hurt! She said she will miss the families that have been so good to their loved ones and to herself and her staff. My wonderful staff

Rich Hunter, Vice President of Bayberry said they are saddened to lose a long time employee who has brought great joy to the Eden facility.

This new Respite Care Grant Program awarded one year grants to 19 nonprofit organizations nationwide. Organizations applied for grants to provide 4-6 days of respite (per family), allowing a caregiver to tend to their own medical needs, appointments and overall well-being. “One of the goals of the Paralysis Resource Center is to provide caregivers and families the support they need to properly care for the loved ones living with paralysis and themselves without feeling overwhelmed,” said Maggie Goldberg, VP of Policy and Programs. “Adding

City of Eden reminds you to call 811 before any digging begins Contributed by Ann Rushing, NC 811 Education Manager
Striking an underground utility line while digging can cause harm to you or those around you, disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, and potentially result in fines and repair costs. A call must be placed to 811 before every digging project, from simple landscaping projects like planting trees or shrubs, to building a deck or installing a rural mailbox. Every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811. Don’t become part of the statistic - make sure to call 811! Here’s how it works: • One free, simple phone call to 811 makes it easy for NC 811 to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. • Call at least three (3) full working days prior to digging to ensure enough time for utility lines to be properly marked.
• When you call 811, a representative from NC 811 will ask for the location and description of your digging project. • NC 811 will notify affected utility companies such as the City of Eden to send a professional locator to the proposed dig site to mark the approximate location of your lines. • Once lines have been properly marked, roll up those sleeves and carefully dig around the marked areas. Do not have time to make the call to 811? Use our web based Single Address Ticket option at http://newtinc.nc811 .org/newtinweb/single_address_ ticket.html Safety is a shared responsiblity, and calling 811 helps protect you, your family and neighbors from utility line damages and helps keep your community safe and connected.

We had quite a festival with record numbers in atten-
dance. We certainly had the good weather on our side. Our entertainment was a big hit! Both headline bands did an outstanding job, along with all the local talent featured during the day Saturday on both stages. We had record numbers for the concerts as well. Also, our features that included the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, Knockerball, Amusements, Rock Painting, Archery, Trick Roping, Chainsaw Carving and so much more were very busy. Our strolling magician on Friday night said he had large crowds all evening long. Another great moment at the festival was our 50th Anniversary Celebration and Recognitions. A huge thank you to the Eden Historical Museum and their volunteers for being such a big part of our weekend long celebration. They created some incredible displays and were open the entire festival. We debuted our new “Small Town Big Outdoors” tent/display setup at the festival and received several positive comments about it. Plans for 2018 have already begun!

Street Resurfacing Projects -
Update The FY 2017-18 Street Resurfacing Contract, No. 3 – Waugh Asphalt hoped to start construction the week of Oct. 16. Weather permitting, 25 of the 36 street sections on this contract are scheduled to be completed by Nov. 15. The remaining 11 street sections will be resurfaced in the spring of 2018. • Southwood Drive Upgrade – Waugh Asphalt hired Delta Contracting to mill out the gravel section of Southwood Drive between E. Arbor Lane and E. Harris Place at a depth of 9.5 inches. This work was completed in conjunction with the E. Harris Place Improvements Project on Sept. 26. After milling out three small areas on E. Harris Place later that afternoon, we realized we were not going to be able to use the asphalt millings as the stone base due to the size of the material being removed. The following day, city forces hauled 493 tons of ABC Stone from Martin Marietta to the site and installed the 6-inch stone base. The city’s cost to upgrade Southwood Drive was $15,674.05. Wynnefield Properties, the developer of Ashton Way Apartments, hired Waugh Asphalt to install the asphalt on the gravel section of Southwood Drive. • E. Harris Place Improvements Project – Delta Contracting milled out the deteriorated sections of asphalt pavement between Linden Drive and Southwood Drive on Sept. 2628. Waugh Asphalt installed 7 inches of asphalt base course in the areas as they were dug out. Waugh Asphalt’s paving crew came in on Sept. 29 and overlaid the entire street section with 1.5 inches of virgin asphalt surface course. On Oct. 3, Triad Road Maintenance re-installed the pavement markings. • Morgan Road Resurfacing – This is a NCDOT project. The Gordon Brothers completed the asphalt milling on Oct. 10. NCDOT had contractors working on the patching, structure adjustments and the installation of two additional handicap ramps. The road was scheduled to be resurfaced the week of Oct. 23.
Waterline Replacement Projects Update Additional revisions to plans for the W. Arbor Lane and Wildflower Lane Water Main Replacement project resulted in the Bid Opening date being changed to Oct. 31. A crew from Shiloh Utilities, Inc. begin work on the Victor Street 2” Water Main Replacement project on Oct. 12. Work on the project is expected to be completed by the end of November. Survey and design work by engineering consulting firms is expected to be underway by the last week of October for the Water Main Replacement projects along a portion of Sunset Drive and a couple sections of

Cascade Express Band featuring from Left to right: standing: Jeff Murphy, Cal Mays, Danny Denson, and Kneeling Eddy Irving and Jason Crowder involved in young peoples lives. That desire created another purpose for establishing this weekly event. She welcomed new inspiring singers and musicians to participate in stage performance. She wanted to help showcase their talents and to sharpen their performance abilities. Cal and Linda Mays from Pelham, saw to it that this tradition continued after Evelyna’s untimely death about 5 years ago. They are long-time participants and performers at Cascade Community Center. The Cascade Express Band has over 250 years of combined experience. Come out and join the fun, food and fellowship and of course the music and dancing at 7pm on Friday nights, and every first and third Saturday. The active members of the Cascade Express Band include: • Micheal Jason Crowder on drums also serves the Union Church in Danville on his Praise Team as percussionists. He notes that his very name Crowder means musician. He has approximately 20 years experience. • Danny Denson, bass guitar
Sax, was inspired by his family at an early age he started playing guitar with the “Midnighters” in the ‘60s and later on with the “Mystics’, followed by “JohnJerry and the Soul Masters”. • James Cook, 18, is an upcoming guitarist and vocalist which sprang from our venue. He occasionally joins in with the band. There are many individuals over the years who have served this cause, to many to mention. The owners and operators of Cascade Community Center thank all of their former entertainers and contributers. In addition to the entertainment sessions on Fridays, be sure to come out on the First and third Saturday nights when Bluegrass fans gather to enjoy this Traditional American music performed by local favorites. Various groups are scheduled for this event such as Timbré Trail and ‘57 Express. Again in Evelyna’s honor the Cascade Express Band invites and encourages musicians and singers of every age.

Information Technology Department October is Cyber Security Awareness Month. We would like to remind each of you to be extra vigilant in regards to your online activities. Data breaches are increasing at a rapid pace. No business, institution, or individual is now considered too small for hacking groups to target. It seems the tool of choice for today’s hackers is e-mail. Infected e-mail attachments that install ransomware that encrypts your files, holding them for ransom, or that install back doors allowing a hacker to steal your online account and banking information are becoming more prevalent. E-mails that trick the user into thinking it is from their bank or financial institution often contain links to specially crafted websites designed to capture and record account numbers, credit card numbers, account login credentials, and passwords. We encourage each of you to keep these red flags in mind when determining if an email is genuine: • Generic subject line – Legitimate e-mails usually have detailed subject lines. • Suspicious links – Hover over links with your mouse cursor in e-mails to see the actual destina-
tion of the link. In general, avoid clicking on any link in an e-mail. • Improper use of copyright – This is often used to make a phishing email look official. • Bad grammar/spelling – Phishing e-mails often contain misspelled words and bad grammar. This is a sign that the email did not come from a professional organization or a real person. • Unnecessary urgency – Be wary of e-mails that implore you to act immediately, offer something that sounds too good to be true, or ask for personal information. Use your intuition and if something ‘feels’ wrong, consider calling the organization or institution directly to confirm the e-mail is actually from them. Remember, when in doubt, throw it out. If an e-mail looks suspicious, it probably is. MUNICIPAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Tornado Response & Recovery Costs Summary & Request for Public Assistance Funds On Oct. 6, I sent a letter to Mr. Michael A. Sprayberry, Director, North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM), respectfully requesting that our response and recovery costs related to the EF-1 Tornado that struck our community on May 5 be recommended to Gov. Cooper for consideration as a State Type 1 disaster declaration for public assistance as forth under North Carolina General Statutes 166-A. Specifically, it was noted that Eden has documented actual response and recovery costs in the following amounts: Debris Removal: $216,906.67 Emergency Protective Measures: $ 30,541.79. Road and Bridges: $953.01. Total $248,401.47 The threshold for declaration previously set forth by NCEM is $193,154. Since the City’s actual documented eligible costs exceed this threshold the City is eligible for reimbursement of 75 percent of its documented eligible costs or $186,301.10 if approved by the Governor. The City of Eden will be responsible for the remaining $62,100.37 in costs. Surplus Auction Scheduled for Nov. 4 A surplus auction will be held at our Municipal Services facility on Klyce Street on Nov. 4. For more information please

Q & A’s: Flu Season Is Here: Seniors & Friends Take Note!
The flu can hit seniors like a Mack Truck! That’s because their immune systems weaken with age. If you’re over 65—or care for someone who is— keep the following in mind as we head into the flu season. Last year, seniors really bore the brunt of the flu season. Sixty percent of flu-related hospitalizations and nearly 80 percent of deaths were among those 65 or older.
This year’s flu vaccine should be a better match for circulating strains of flu, according to U.S. officials. There’s also an adequate supply of vaccine. Long-term protection: More good news? A recent study has found that flu vaccines offer moderate protection for about six months. That’s the length of most flu seasons. The study’s findings suggest that a flu shot in early fall may prevent the greatest number of cases. The common good: The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated each year, but only about half of all Americans do. Even if you’re young and healthy, getting a flu shot is important. It may be one of the nicest things you do for your neighbors—especially those older than 65 or younger than 2, pregnant women, or those with chronic health problems or weak immune systems. By protecting yourself, you also help protect others. A recent study showed that higher vaccination rates among young and middle-aged adults may lower the risk of flu among older people. Seniors are at greater risk for pneumonia—a complication of the flu. So find out whether you also need the pneumococcal vaccine. Stop flu in its tracks! If you do get the flu, you can help prevent its spread: Wash your hands often. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Take antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu or Relenza, if prescribed. These drugs attack the flu virus and stop it from growing. You can get your flu shot right here. We are ready and willing to make this as easy as we can for you. So don’t delay. Get yours today. No appointment is necessary! Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

RCC President Dr. Mark Kinlaw presents a resolution from the RCC board of Trustees to Cynthia Wharton recognizing her many accomplishments during 24 years of service to the college.
Wharton Retires from RCC Trustees
After 24 years as a Board of Trustee member at Rockingham Community College Cynthia Wharton of Ruffin chose not to seek reappointment. Wharton was appointed to the Board of Trustees in July 1993 and served continuously until June 30, 2007. In July 2009, Wharton was reappointed and served until June. During this time, not only did she serve as chair for two terms, but she participated in three Presidential Search efforts on behalf of the college. Wharton has helped to oversee many significant changes that led to the growth of the college during her service. The addition of the Human Services Building as part of a statewide bond referendum; the opening of the Emergency Services Training Center; the Ben R. and Lemma M. Apple Foundation Amphitheater; the Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center built with funds from another statewide bond referendum; the addition of the Gilliland Baseball Field; the Center for Creative Woodworking in Reidsville and the Center for Brewing Sciences in Eden; the renovation and opening of the Owens Health Science Building;
the opening of the Early College High School on the college’s campus; the addition and success of numerous grants including a Title III grant focused on growing and enhancing the college’s distance learning program; the many partnerships the college established in her 24 years with business, industry, and with the public schools; and the addition of numerous degree programs occurred during her 24 years of service. “Looking back, I realized that I have served alongside 30 trustees,” Wharton said. “To have served with such a dedicated group of trustees, faculty and staff has been a great privilege.” Along with her husband Bobby, Wharton volunteered her time on various RCC Foundation events including the annual countywide campaign, the annual gala, the scholarship luncheon and other Foundation fundraising initiatives. “It has been a real honor for Bob and I to be able to support an institution that is so valuable to Rockingham County,” Wharton said. “RCC is at the heart of what should be most valued: the education of our citizens.”

• STarT living again! 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. Brandi L. Richardson, Attorney at Law.

Unvieling of Directional Signs Also Launches Downtown QR Code Tour Reidsville City staff was tasked with two different projects – implementing wayfinding signs in the downtown area and improving on the City’s downtown walking tour. During a brainstorming retreat of the Reidsville Downtown Corporation, one of the suggestions had been to provide such signage in the downtown area. City staff had been looking at revamping the downtown walking tour, and City Manager Preston Mitchell had seen a QR Code video project being done in another city. The two projects were merged into one. Instead of the traditional walking tour of the past, the City has created a series of YouTube videos, which tell the stories behind the sites listed on the directional signs. Each location has a corresponding QR Code
reidsville City Councilman William Hairston, center, and Councilwoman Sherri Walker, far right, led the unveiling of one of six directional signs erected by the City on Tuesday, October 10. also on hand were rockingham County Schools officials, including Superintendent Dr. rodney Shotwell, reidsville City staff and others who helped with the project.

On Tuesday, October 10, Reidsville City Council unveiled the wayfinding sign located at the Scales-Morehead roundabout, one of six such signs located in and around the downtown area directing visitors to key locations in the business district. The six signs, depending on their location, direct visitors to City Hall, the Police Department (Municipal Building), the Reidsville Public Library, Market Square, The Penn House and RCARE. The “Shop & Dine” sign goes to the Downtown video on the City Website’s Video Tourbook at www.reidsvillenc.gov. In addition to the directional signs, the QR Codes also will be displayed in front of the individual locations. A key component of the project was to involve local students in the creation of the videos. City staff met with school system officials, including teachers, at Reidsville High School to discuss the project. Barbara McMillan, a teacher at RHS, agreed to take on the project. Of the two projects selected by students in McMillan’s class, The Penn House became the first video made for the City’s QR Code Video Tour. Reidsville Mayor Jay Donecker and City staff met with the students to discuss the video tour and to suggest contacts to help the youth in researching their projects. Local videographer Chase Nappier has been working with the City, tweaking the Penn House video and creating the others. “This project was definitely a ‘win-win’ for us all the way around,” said Reidsville Mayor Jay Donecker. “We are sharing the stories associated with our City’s downtown area and its buildings while also engaging our young people to take an active interest in Reidsville and its history.” School leaders were also glad to be a part of the project.

RCC was the First Choice for Student Ambassadors
Student Ambassadors at Rockingham Community College agree that the college was their first choice after high school graduation because tuition and fees are affordable and the faculty are top-notch. RCC Ambassadors for 20172018 are Tyler Bruins, Taeja Pass and Rachel Jones all of Eden and Daniel Jordan of Pelham. Throughout the year, RCC Ambassadors help lead student orientation seminars, assist with student recruitment events, and lead campus tours. Under the guidance of Laura Jennings, RCC’s Assistant Director of Enrollment Services, these students work very hard to promote the college not only to prospective students, but to the community as well. Tyler Bruins enrolled in 2015 after graduation from Morehead High School. He soon joined the college History Club and Art Club. This semester, Bruins is entering his third term as president of the History Club. During his time at RCC, he hasn’t missed a single trip planned by the clubs. He has traveled to New York City, Washington D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia. “RCC has had a great impact on me,” said Bruins. “I would suggest that anyone take some time to study at RCC. It is a lot cheaper than going straight to a university and the experience is fantastic.” This spring, Bruins plans to graduate from the college with an Associate in Arts degree and transfer to a university to earn a degree in Psychology. Taeja Pass began her studies at RCC in 2016. Prior to becoming an Ambassador, Pass was heavily involved Paying it Forward, a student mentoring program developed at the college. Since enrolling, Pass has been named to the Dean’s List each semester. There is no doubt that she is a leader in her role as mentor and that she can provide students with the advice and support needed to be successful. “RCC has helped me achieve a lot, and as I move on to a university, I know that I’ll
do nothing but grow,” said Pass. “RCC is a great place to start. The admissions staff gives you the steps you need to be a success. You are not just a number in the classroom.

Daniel Jordan of Pelham enrolled in 2016 and is currently serving as president of RCC’s academic honor society, Phi Theta Kappa. “I chose to come to RCC because of the very reputable faculty and the variety of opportunities provided to the students,” said Jordan. “I would tell any student to search out every event and activity on campus. You’ll meet interesting people and learn a lot.” Jordan plans to attend the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill after receiving is Associate in Art degree.

opportunity to be included in this exciting project,” said Christy Barham, Director of Digital Learning, Professional Development & Media for the Rockingham County Schools. “Through the creation of the videos, our students have been able to expand their research and technical skills. They have also been afforded the opportunity to enhance their civic engagement by collaboratively creating a product that benefits their community." In the meantime, City staff started working on the scripts for other locations on the video tour. They were aided by Reidsville Area Foundation summer interns Zack Tate and Abby Bryan, who created several scripts for current and future projects. In addition to the locations listed on the directional signs, videos have been made for American Tobacco Company, Kelly’s Way and Mural Park. A video for the sculpture, “Budding Future,” is near completion. The videos have been narrated by the Mayor and current Council members as well as past Mayors of Reidsville. Rockingham County Library Director Michael Roche narrated the history of the Reidsville Library. The success of the Penn House project has led to a new class of Reidsville High School
students working on two other videos, one for The Block, the former African-American downtown business district, and the other for the Rockingham Theatre. With the retirement of McMillan, the school project is now being done by students in Kate Knabel’s classes at RHS. Other City-owned sites will be added to the tour. Reidsville Assistant City Manager Chris Phillips noted that the City was excited because this project involves students and, hopefully, helps them to understand the importance of preserving Reidsville’s history. “So much of our history is being lost because it is not being recorded or written down,” he stressed. “Projects like this help preserve that history. It will also help us as the City prepares for its 150th birthday in 2023. “We also hope that working on these historical narratives can be a legacy project at Reidsville High school, something that one class can pass down to the next class,” he said. Future phases of the project could also include local businesses recording historical narratives about their buildings. There has even been talk of local churches recording their histories for a church video tour. “We just see endless possibilities for this project, and we hope that the local business community and others will see the potential and get involved in the future,” Phillips said.
Art Rocks returns for 2018
Art Rocks in Rockingham County 2018 is a second-year county wide art project and collaboration which is composed of three non-profit art organizations: UMAR Art of Reidsville, the Rockingham County Arts Council, and the Fine Arts Festival Association of Rockingham County. In this unique celebration of the arts, local artists transform rocking chairs into works of art. A Call to Artists has been issued for local artists to apply to be a part of this fun art project. The project organizers provide the artists with award-winning Troutman rocking chairs. The artists use their creativity to create unique designs to paint on the chairs. These chairs will be exhibited throughout the county leading up to the big event next spring. On May 11, 2018 the Art Rocks in Rockingham County Festival will take place in Market Square downtown Reidsville. This countywide event will feature food trucks, music, wine & beer, and a live

Reidsville’s Fall Jubilee sets the mood for the season
This October, thousands of residents and visitors took the opportunity to see how Reidsville embodies their city slogan “Live Simply; Think Big’ at the city’s annual Fall Jubilee. The 26th annual festival was a great success on October 21st. This Fall Jubilee is one of the largest festivals in the county and draws thousands of people from across North Carolina and southern Virginia for entertainment, food, fun and a car show. The show, featuring more than 200 beautifully restored antique cars and trucks, street rods and classics, was sponsored by the EZ Street Cruisers Car Club. This car show is always a highlight of the festival and the car show circuit, and is one of the largest in the Southeast. The Reidsville Fall Jubilee showcased more than 100 vendors offering art, crafts, jewelry, fashion, pottery, home and garden decor, and much more. Just the aroma of the festival’s foods brought a smile to every face. Guests were encouraged to visit and shop in local downtown businesses by collecting stickers from merchants for prizes, and redeeming receipts for bonus gifts. The Kidz Zone featured bounce houses and amusement rides, and a Touch A Truck event. Captain Jim’s Magic Shack was a great draw. Music groups alternated with bands and singers including Against the Nights, Jacob Vaughan (Country / Pop), Alderman Duo (Americana & Blues), Kirk Huneycutt Jazz Trio (Jazz / Latin), Chris Marks Band (Country / Southern Rock) , Kimber & Kompany (R&B / Pop / Funk / Jazz) and of course the Headliner: Groove Train which took guests on a fantastic voyage back in time with an exciting blend of music from the days of disco, groovy costumes, outrageous hairstyles, and showmanship.

The funds will be used to aid in program operational expenses.” Graves added, “Partnering with community businesses such as Wells Fargo engages the program and community to improve collaboration and awareness.” “A hallmark of Wells Fargo is local decision-making and local involvement,” added Kiara Settle. “We’ll continue to make grants of all sizes, but through the Community Connections program, our branch team members are given the opportunity to support causes important to them each with a $1,000 grant.”
Plastic Revolutions Announces Expansion in Rockingham County
Plastic Revolutions, a full-service plastic recycler, plans to expand its Reidsville processing plant. The company plans to invest $600,000 in new equipment and create 35 new jobs at its Barnes Street facility. It expects the expansion to be complete by the end of this year. Plastic Revolutions has fabricated a 16 station sorting line and installed a new automatic wire tie baler. This line will be used to sort post-consumer plastic known as 1-7 bales and bulky mixed rigid bales. There is not enough recycling capacity to handle this type commodity currently in the US. Much of this plastic was going to China until they blocked importation of scrap plastic. “The main plastic we will be sorting out and baling from the 1-7 bales are soda bottles (PET) which will be baled and sold to Unifi’s bottle processing plant here in Reidsville. The other plastic will be used by Plastic Revolutions. The State of NC is currently accepting proposals for recycling grants for recycling bulky rigid containers. This attests to the shortage of recycling infrastructure for these materials,” said Eddie Handy, vice president at Plastic Revolutions. Handy added, “Labor shortages have caused us to start an apprenticeship program for Rockingham County high school students to work on this new line as well as other jobs in the plant. We are waiting on the State’s final approval of this apprenticeship program. Once we receive approval, we plan to hire 16, 17 and 18 year-old students with the guarantee of a permanent job when they graduate from high school. We are excited about partnering with the local schools, Rockingham Community College and the State of NC on this program.” “The expansion at Plastic Revolutions is great news. We are excited to see this local recycler growing and succeeding here, while also helping our environment and working with our local students” said Jan Critz, director of the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development and Tourism. Plastic Revolutions opened its current 300,000 square-foot facility in 2007. The company has experienced steady growth over the last decade and currently has 74 employees. It recycles all forms and grades of plastic scrap, specializing in high molecular weight plastics. It also processes post-consumer plastic bottles from used detergent, milk jugs and other consumer products. Plastic Revolutions produces around five million pounds of recycled plastic pellets per month. “This announcement is great news for Reidsville and Rockingham County. We have a local plant expanding to help ensure raw product for another local manufacturer’s fabric and students can be engaged to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation. A triple win from our perspective!” said Jay Donecker, mayor of Reidsville. “I am pleased that Plastic Revolutions has chosen Reidsville for this exciting expansion project. We value our existing industries and look forward to working with them on continued success. Plastic Revolutions fits well into a niche that we have in Reidsville and Rockingham County within the plastics industry and we hope that sector continues to grow,” said Jeff Garstka, director of Economic Development for the City of Reidsville.

Most know by now that Morehead Memorial Hospital filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July. When some hear the word “bankruptcy” they think everything will be put out to auction, down to the staplers and wheel chairs. This is more the case with Chapter 7. Chapter 11, on the other hand, allows for a company to demonstrate to the court a plan showing it can work it’s way out of debt by negotiating their debts, while staying in business. Because of this confusion, board members feared that rumors of liquidation will cause people to think the hospital is closing down will prompt potential patients to steer clear. Morehead Memorial CEO Dana M. Weston knew there were challenges to face with Morehead Memorial Hospital when she took over as President in December of 2015 and after a few years of the powers that be at Morehead attempting to persuade a larger system to purchase them, the time came in July of 2017 to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Then amazingly, buyers came for a peak. The possibility of a future auction for the hospital’s assets attracted both for-profit and nonprofit health care organizations as well as private equity investors to come take a look at what the facility had to offer. Morehead hired Hammond Hanlon Camp LLC, to help bring in more potential buyers. Bids were due Oct. 23 with the auction held Oct. 30. A bank-
ruptcy court hearing to approve the winning bid is set for Nov. 6, with all hopes aimed at the aquisition of the entire property by an entity that will continue the services here at best, yet only time will tell. The 108 bed facility was being looked at thouroughly by several bidders, including Cone Health. Jim Roskelly, executive vice president for strategic development at Cone Health said they were evaluating the situation at Morehead. The hospital financial woes are not new. In late 2013, Morehead Memorial board members were looking for a partner, but none was found and this eventually led to Novant taking over management of the hospital in 2014. Following this, Weston began second search for a potential buyer in 2016. There are several details to work out in any deal, with options of one entity purchasing all of it, or any other options such as Morehead Nursing being split from the deal to attract a buyer for it seperately. Morehead also own entities off site that could be purchased seperatly including the imaging center, physical and occupational therapy center, an urgent care clinic and even a family practice. Weston hopes to have the entire entity become a part of a larger health care system. If that were to become reality, Morehead would have more clout with suppliers and be able to negotiate higher reimburse-

role in chronic disease prevention, increasing access to services that are outside of a traditional clinical environment,” said Tracie Heavner, MPH, Director of Diabetes Prevention, YMCA of Greensboro. “Preventing Type 2 diabetes is a great example of this process in action, as once you know your risk for prediabetes, programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program can help change behaviors and potentially decrease chances of developing the disease.” The diabetes epidemic is growing rapidly in North Carolina. In 1999, an estimated 366,000 residents were living with diabetes. Ten years later, the prevalence of diabetes had almost doubled to 673,000. In addition, nearly 90% of those with prediabetes are unaware they have prediabetes. Prediabetes is a point in time where individuals at high risk for developing diabetes can stop or reverse the progression to diabetes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in North Carolina and decreases life expectancy by up to 15 years. How can type 2 diabetes be prevented? The YMCA is helping residents cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes through the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program. Research by the National Institutes of Health has shown that programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, that help people lose 5-7 percent of body weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity, can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by up to 58 percent, and for individuals over age 60 that increases to 71 percent. Participants in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program take part in a year-long program beginning with 16 one-hour weekly classroom sessions with a trained lifestyle coach who teaches individuals about healthy eating, physical activity and other lifestyle changes. Following these weekly sessions, participants meet monthly for added support in reaching their ultimate goals of reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes. Want to learn more about preventing diabetes? Tracie Heavner, MPH, Diabetes Prevention Program Director at the YMCA of Greensboro, will present a MedTalk to discuss ways to prevent or reverse the disease. The lunchtime event will be held in the Main Conference Room at Morehead Memorial Hospital from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 9. A free box lunch will be provided, but reservations are required and must be made by Nov. 6. Please phone Myla Barnhardt at (336) 627-6191 to reserve a spot. The hospital is located at 117 E. Kings Highway in Eden.

RCC’s Fall enrollment is up 9%.
“Our faculty and staff have worked very hard to make this happen,” said RCC President Dr. Mark Kinlaw. “We have had an all-hands-on-deck approach to strategically make this improvement and the hard work to enroll more students doesn’t stop today. We must make it a priority to meet the educational needs of the county and the workforce community. Planning for Spring semester recruitment is heavily underway.” RCC is offering more online classes than ever before. This fall the college offered courses that will allow a student to complete the Associate in Arts degree almost entirely online. Plans are in place to offer the Associate in Applied Science in Criminal Justice online next year along with many other general education requirement courses. General education courses being offered online at this time include the following disciplines: math, English, humanities, and criminal justice. During the summer, the college placed a heavy emphasis on marketing to prospective students and their families. Radio and direct mail advertising along with an increase in social media presence were part of the effort to improve enrollment. RCC faculty worked cooperatively with the staff in Enrollment Services to provide a "high touch" academic advising experience to prospective students preparing for fall semester. “Even though we live in a digital world, we should never underestimate the value and importance of simply sitting with a student to discuss pathways to meet their academic goals,” said Sheila Regan, Vice President of Academic Affairs. “I am very proud of our faculty for their collaborative spirit and positive attitude to try something different.” Developing new and innovative programs of study helps the college to attract students and encourages our graduates to continue to advance their education. During the registration period, 18 students enrolled in a new hybrid program of study LPN (licensed practical nurse) to ADN (Associate Degree Nursing). Many former practical nursing graduates requested that the college consider offering this program of study as the next stepping stone for their career. The college opened its newly renovated Simulated Hospital located in the Owens Health Science Building and recently completed major renovation in the Advanced Technology Building and in the James Library. “We know our students pay attention to the atmosphere and condition of our facilities,” said Kinlaw. “More renovations are planned for the Whitcomb Student Center and Industrial Technologies Buildings. Offering new programs of study, course delivery methods outside of the traditional classroom and keeping our facilities updated is very important to our students.”
Gap Billing explained
Beginning in 2013 North Carolina legislation changed the way property taxes were billed on Registered Motor Vehicles. Registered motor vehicle owners now pay the annual taxes at the time of the renewal of tags or the registration of a vehicle. These taxes are paid directly to the NC DMV or our local license plate agencies. The Counties are required by NC General Statute 105330.3(2) to collect property taxes for vehicles with even a short lapse in registration and an extended renewal date. This gap billing notice is a property tax bill that covers the months between the expiration of a vehicle’s registration and its renewal or the issuance of a new registration. Rockingham County Tax Administration will begin to send monthly gap billing notices of taxes due starting in October of 2017. These notices start with registrations or renewals done in July 2017. The way to avoid receiving a gap billing notice is to renew your registration on time and therefore eliminate a lapse in the registration. If you have further questions or need assistance, please contact the Rockingham County Tax Administration @ 336-3428299. You can link to our website from Rockingham County’s home page at www.myrockinghamcountync.com.

“I was heartbroken when I saw the media reports and pictures of the devastation that the hurricane had caused. Just the thought of how the people had lost everything stuck with me and I wanted to do something to help.” said Carlie,“When another hurricane struck, I was speechless. It was like watching a movie. I couldn't believe that this had happened again.” Carlie Hicks, 17, is a student at McMichael High School who felt it was her calling to work toward bringing funds to those in the hurricanes’ path. “Texas connected with me because I had visited friends when they lived in Texas. My thoughts were "what if that had happened to them?". She just couldn't get it out of her mind. “When that happens, I have to do something about it,” she added. She went to school immediately following the first hurricanes raising $759.08 quickly. Pastor Tommy Vass was very impressed about her spearheading a campaign. At her church, Stoneville Pentecostal Holiness, she raised about $1,643. “I combined the money and sent it to the organization DRUSA (Disaster Relief USA). 100% of their donations go into disaster relief,” Hicks said. She sites Philippians 2:4 - "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." The Corps Commander for the McMichael AFJROTC, Hicks’ future plans include applying to the United States Air Force Academy to pursue a career in the medical field. If she doesn’t get accepted into the United States Air Force Academy, she plans on attending Liberty University and will join the ROTC program there. “I will also purse a career in the

What to do in case of an auto Accident
U.S. studies show there are at least 5.25 million auto accidents per year, we at MAD-ROCK AUTO hope you are never involved in an accident. But accidents do happen. In case you are in an accident here are 10 things you should do. 1. Stop: When involved in an accident, however minor, do not leave until talking to police. 2. If possible get to safety: Move vehicles out of traffic into a safe area. Turn on your hazard lights, use cones and warning triangles if possible. 3. Stay Calm: Remain as calm as possible, avoid any inclination to react in anger, especially if the other party involved is acting irrationally. 4. Check yourself and others for injuries: If anyone is injured call 911. 5. Call police: Even if the accident is minor, a police report can be an invaluable tool to help the claim process and establish who is a fault. 6. Do not admit fault: Do not discuss specific details of the accident with anyone but the police. Be polite, but do not admit fault to the other driver or the police, even if the drivers actions led to the crash. 7. Exchange information: Usually the police accident report will have this information, including full names and contact information of both parties involved, the other party’s insurance information, drivers license numbers and plate number and complete vehicle descriptions. 8. Photograph the accident scene: if possible photograph the damage to all vehicles involved. Include photos that reveal the overall context of the crash (road conditions, intersection site, traffic signs and lights, etc.) .... 9. Document the accident: The incident time and date, description and exact location and any recollection of you vehicles handling or mechanical functioning immediately prior to the crash. Document the involved party and any witnesses. 10. Notify you insurer and file a claim: You may want to call your insurance company while you are at the scene. You can start the claim process immediately while at the scene and add details when things are calmer.

Slime Time for United Way raises thousands
Over $11,000 was raised in one month for United Way by Rockingham County Governmental Employees with fundraisers including Slime Time, Silent Auction, Change for Change, Covered Dish, and Bake Sale. The exciting, ooeygooey, slime project on Sept. 27th motivated many to donate. “SLIME TIME FOR UNITED WAY” allowed employees to vote for County department heads to be slimed! Each dollar was equal to one vote. Top candidates with the most dollar votes were slimed; plus a drawing picked employees to pour the slime. Eventually, United Way dollar donations narrowed candidates down to six who were slimed in various colors on September 27th in front of the Governmental Center flagpoles: 1. Lance Metzler, County Manager 2. Robert Cardwell, Fire Marshal 3. Paul Murray, Strategic Management Dir. 4. Ronnie Tate, Director, Engineering and Public Utilities 5.

improve the quality of life for
our most vulnerable citizens and provides resources to programs that would normally not be able to operate without the financial support of the United Way. This is why I am always grateful to donate to United Way. Slime Color: ECU Purple (obviously) • Robert Cardwell, Fire
Marshal Reason I Support United Way: “During my Emergency Service career, I have seen agencies arrive many times to assist a person during one of their life's darkest moments. Those agencies rely on the support of the United Way to be able to offer their services. I had the opportunity to assist with the delivery of the "Meals on Wheels" program and saw firsthand another program at work assisted by the United Way. I have witnessed the abused spouse taken to a shelter for their protection courtesy of United Way funding. Education is important to the growth of our county and again United Way funding assists in the numerous programs targeted for our youth. I have been a supporter of the United Way since the late 70's and continue to support their efforts. I am honored to have been selected to participate in this fund raising event.” Slime Color: Green (Is there any other color?) • Paul Murray, Strategic Management Director Reason I Support United Way: “While County government provides many great services to our citizens, there are areas we are not able to reach. This is where United Way steps in, not just through supporting local nonprofits but also by allowing them to become eligible for much larger outside grants. I feel confident that my donations help serve as a catalyst for maximizing funding available to deserving programs and maximizing funding available to deserving programs and am happy that the money I donate remains in Rockingham County.”Slime Color: Green • Ronnie Tate, Director, Eng. and Public Utilities Reason I Support United Way:
“Having been past Co-Chair for United Way gave me a new perspective on how much need there is in our community. There are so many people/groups that need these dollars to help our fellow citizens in the County. United Way provides much needed services that other groups or agencies cannot or do not provide. It is one of the most worthwhile causes in this area.” Slime Color: Red • Tara Muchini, Youth Services Director Reason I Support United Way: “I was fortunate to co-chair the United Way campaign for county employees for three years during which time I learned a lot about the organization. The United Way funds local Rockingham County agencies which provide help in many forms to those in our community who need it most. Giving to United Way is a great way to help our neighbors and make Rockingham County a better place.” Slime Color: Purple • Derek Southern, Chief Information Officer Reason I Support United Way: Supporting the local United Way helps supports your local neighbors in need. It is great to support an organization that helps all ages within the community. Slime Color: Blue
Others nominated included: • Susan Young, Interim Public Health Director Reason I Support United Way: “I support the United Way because I have seen firsthand what a difference it can make in lives. As a Home Health Nurse I visited many elderly, debilitated Rockingham County Seniors. They depended on the Meals on Wheels services to provide a healthy, hot meal for them. Without this program, many of these people would not have had food or poor quality meals. Also the fact that someone was coming to see them and 'check’ on them, gave them a sense of security and wellbeing. Also, I myself, participated in Youth Programs sponsored by the United Way (Scouts) which helped build character and responsibility and values. We need to start with the youth and build upon them.” • Will Strader, Cooperative Extension Director Reason I Support United Way: “The United Way of Rockingham County has done an excellent job over the years at focusing their efforts on the most pressing needs in communities across the county. It is very rewarding to know that the
donations they receive remain in the county and are used at the local level to support community programs that provide measurable and lasting results. The United Way has been a long-time supporter of Rockingham County 4-H and, as a result, I have been able to witness first-hand the impact their assistance has had on hundreds of youth across the county. I strongly endorse their efforts and would encourage everyone to contribute to this valuable organization.” • Emily Sloop, County Attorney Reason I Support United Way: “I support United Way because they make it easy for me to make a difference despite my busy schedule. While they are focused on the community, their impact is far reaching.” • Mark McClintock, Tax Administrator Reason I Support United Way: “Hospice of Rockingham County helped me with both of my parents at the end of their lives. Every day I drive past the Hospice of Rockingham County, Inc. on my way to and from work. I visit it weekly as a volunteer. I know United Way funds are at work every time I drive by, walk through that door or hear about the patients being helped in their homes. Last year, Hospice received $32,348 from the United Way to assist our families and friends in Rockingham County. The economy has caused allocations to shrink and campaign totals to decline. This past year, which was the first year without MillerCoors’ support, the agencies’ allocations were not cut. That is because United Way of Rockingham County absorbed the difference. Obviously that cannot happen year after year.” • Rodney Cates, Emergency Services Director Reason I Support United Way: “I support the United Way because their efforts involve the overall support of communities in need through strong partnerships in education, financial stability and healthy communities.” • Kevin Baughn, Animal Shelter Director Reason I Support United Way: “I support United Way because of the vital resources they provide to the residents of Rockingham County. The positive impact of the United Way can be seen throughout the county and we should continue to support the work they are doing.” The 2017 United Way Campaign for Rockingham County Governmental Employees was led by CoChairs: Strategic Management Director Paul Murray and County Attorney Emily Sloop.

First, we intend to seek funds to repair the Draper Landing River Access that was damaged by the spring rains and second, we intend to seek funding for the installation of a new river access point on City property at the end of Klyce Street approximately one mile from the Leaksville Landing.
This will allow tubers a longer float along the Dan and create a more manageable race beginning point for the Great River Race.

Finding Fur-Ever Homes Animal’s Of The Month
One Eye Willie had a rough life before he came to the shelter, but now he feels like the king of the castle. He’s only 8 months old and is an absolute love bug. Even though he is missing one eye, it does not affect his quality of life. His adoption fee is $15 and includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.
These beautiful pets are located at the Rockingham County Animal Shelter at 250 Cherokee Camp Rd, Reidsville (Wentworth Area). Please stop by and find your Fur Babies today! Website: www.rockinghamcountyanimalshelter.org Phone: (336) 394-0075 Buster was named RCAS’s most athletic for his love of all sports. He would do great with someone that likes to go on morning runs or afternoon jogs. Buster is roughly 1 year old and would need a home were he had room to stretch his legs. The $75 adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.

Leachate from the Duke Energy The Duke Energy Landfill Project began pumping leachate to our Wastewater Treatment Plant during the last ten days of June. During the billing cycle for July and into August they only pumped two days due to limited rain. The month of September was very dry, and no leachate was pumped to the City. Duke Energy is beginning to start filling the first cell of the landfill with coal ash, and this activity should start producing an accumulation of leachate.

Public Health Prepares for the Flu Season
The Rockingham County Division of Public Health is underway with the 2017 - 2018 Influenza Campaign and offering vaccinations Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Seasonal flu occurs every year and is highly contagious. The flu is caused by a virus that cannot be treated by antibiotics. The flu is much more than just a simple cold and will occur more suddenly and severely. Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, aching muscles, cough, and sore throat. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms it is best to stay home on bed rest for a few days to avoid coming into contact with other people. Some people are at a greater risk for developing flurelated complications, they include: children younger than five, adults 65 years of age and older, pregnant women, and others with certain illnesses or diseases (consult your regular doctor if you are unsure if you are at a greater risk). In order to avoid catching the flu, your best defense is to get the flu vaccine which can
protect you for up to one year. It is also best to practice preventive actions everyday such as: covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, washing your hands with soap and water, and avoiding contact with sick people. Most healthy people with the flu do not need to be treated with antiviral drugs. However, it’s very important that antiviral drugs be used early to treat flu in people who are very sick with the flu and have a greater chance of getting serious flu complications. When planning for your flu vaccination, please be sure to bring your Medicare/HMO and/or your Medicaid card to the health department or the community site. If you are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid, there is a fee of $29.75 for the flu vaccine (Quadrivalent), $45.00 for the “High Dose” (available for seniors only and covered by Medicare) and $68.00 for the pneumonia vaccine (which includes a $20.00 administrative fee). No out of pocket cost if you are filing your insurance. If your insurance carrier is
Humana HMO or United Health Care Compass, your Primary Care Provider (PCP) must provide your annual flu vaccine in order to cover cost. For more information about the flu vaccine, eligibility or to make an appointment, please call the Rockingham County Division of Public Health at 336-342-8140.

What to do When Someone is Choking Choking occurs when a foreign object become lodged in the throat or windpipe, blocking the
flow of air. In adults, a piece of food is the culprit. Young children often swallow small

objects. Because choking cuts off oxygen to the brain, administer first aid as quickly.

The universal sign for choking is hands clutched to the throat. If a person doesn't give the signal look for these indications. Inability to talk Difficulty breathing or noisy breathing Inability to cough forcefully Skin lips and nails turning blue or dusky Loss of consciousness
If choking is occurring the Red Cross recommends a “five and five approach to delivering first aid: Give Five back blows. First deliver 5 back blows between the persons shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Give 5 abdominal thrust. Perform 5 abdominal thrust ( also known as the Heimlich maneuver). Alternate between 5 blows and 5 thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

The American Heart Association doesn't teach the back blow technique, only the abdominal thrust procedure. Its OK not to use back blows if you haven't learned this technique. Both approaches are acceptable. To Perform The Heimlich Maneuver on someone else: Stand behind the person. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly. Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the persons navel. Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick upward thrust as if trying to lift the person up. Perform a total of 5 abdominal thrusts if needed If the blockage still isn’t dislodged repeat the five and five cycle. If you’re the only rescuer, perform back blows and abdominal thrusts before calling 911 or your local emergency number for help. If another person is available, have that person call for help while you perform first aid. If the person becomes unconscious perform standard CPR with chest compressions and rescuer breaths. To Perform the Heimlich Maneuver on yourself: First if you're alone and choking call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Then although you'll be unable to effectively deliver back blows to yourself you can still perform abdominal thrusts to dislodge the item. Place a fist slightly above your navel. grasp your fist with the other hand and bend over a hard surface- a counter top or chair will do shove a fist inward and upward
To clear the airway of a pregnant woman or obese person position your hands a little bit higher than with a normal Heimlich maneuver at the base of the breast bone just above the joining if the lowest ribs. Proceed as with the Heimlich maneuver pressing hard into the chest with a quick thrust. Repeat until the food or other blockage is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious.
To clear the Airway of an unconscious person: lower the person on his or her back onto the floor. clear the airway if the blockage is visible at the back of the throat or high in the throat reach a finger into the mouth and sweet our the cause of the blockage. Be careful not to push the food or object deeper into the airway which can happen easily in young children. Begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the object remains lodged and the person doesn't resent after you take the above measures. The chest compressions used in CPR may dislodged the object remember to recheck the mouth periodically.
NOTE: to prepare yourself for these situations learn the Heimlich maneuver and CPR in a certified first aid training course.

Weaving is in her blood With all the big industrial looms in service, hand weaving is still not a lost art form. Jenny Gorman has been weaving since high school. Jenny does several types of peices, but her favorite to create are shawls and scarves. “ I enjoy weaving with a rayon chenille which I purchased from an industrial NC mill,” Gorman said. Presently employed at David Rothschild company in Reidsville as a designer for the upholstery fabric mill, “I have been working as a fabric designer for over 30 years,” Jenny says. Her biggest challenge is finding enough time to get the hand work done between my full time job and family needs. She and her husband Tom moved from Alabama to Eden about four years ago. Tom is
very supportive of her fiber arts as is the rest of her family. Gorman had a studio at her home in Alabama, and now has one in Eden located at 643 Highland Drive. The couple quickly found a church family with the Episcopal Church of the Epihany on Henry Street in Eden. “ I have lived in several different places in my career and the Church of the Epiphany has been the most welcoming,” Jenny noted. Excited to show and sell her work, she is looking forward to the Episcopal Church’s Harvest Sale on November 4th. From 8am - 1pm the public is encouraged to come Christmas shopping at the church located at 538 Henry Street, Eden. Beside Gorman’s hand crafted weaved and crocheted items, there will be yard sale

The Racetrack XXXVIII
The Party’s Over By Darrell Meade Gregory
A small group of young women stood at the south end of an overgrown paved track watching their husbands run some go-karts. It was just several karts that the men had picked up and were just having a little fun tinkering with and running around the closed track on Sunday afternoon. The infield was overgrown with weeds and small vegetation, making it impossible to see the other end of the quarter-mile track. By standing in turns one and two, the women were able to see most of the backstretch and the straight in front of the concrete barriers. Their husbands were trying to tune the engines in the karts but one was giving some problems. After being easily lapped several times, one cart inexplicably turned around on the backstretch after being lapped again and started to go in the opposite direction. Shielded by the overgrowth in the infield, both drivers were unable to see the other as they barreled toward each other. The women frantically waved since they were able to see both carts on a collision course, but the drivers were focused on their driving. When both carts ran into the curve they saw each other but they both cut the wheel the wrong way. As the women watched in horror, the carts hit each other head on. With both carts at a dead stop, the wives ran to the wreck. At the end of the 1962 season, it was evident that J.D. Roberts had played his last hand. Everything that he did in the last half of the season seemed to work against him. The decision to allow any displacement and/or modifications to the engines was a disaster for this small hometown track. The front runners had more resources than the common Sunday racer and took over the winner’s circle. The average mill worker or mechanic could not keep pace with the more serious racers effectively putting them out of competition. With the old rules, all had to operate under the same restrictions, keeping the races more competitive. The proposed last race of October, J.D. Roberts cancelled on the spot because there was no qualified scorer. This cancelation left a sour impression in the best racers psyche. Why go to a race that was so poorly organized that it could be called off without warning? It was easier to drive an extra hour to the 501 Speedway on the other side of South Boston and know that one could race on the dirt on Sunday
afternoon. The defection of top drivers like Monk Tate and Jimmy Griffin, with others following, disrupted J.D. Roberts fan base tremendously. The paved track was holding up relatively well, just needing minor repairs but that was not the whole problem. The grandstands could not be ignored any longer. They had been continuously patched up: however now it was time for some serious repairs. This did not even take into account that the fence was almost completely demolished. The lessee J.D. Roberts could not fund reconstruction and the owner of the track, John East Jr., had no intention of dumping any more money into it. The racetrack had literally been run into the ground. The poor reputation that the track garnered the last few months it operated was not enticing to anyone else who might consider leasing it. The track languished for a few years until a consortium of area businessmen, with Leaksville lawyer Tommy Harrington spearheading, purchased the dilapidated racetrack from John East Jr. Harrington stated that they “were interested in bringing new businesses to the Tri-Cities.” How their plan was to accomplish this is unknown. Something went afoul and they were never able to do anything with the property. Evidently, they just forgot about the 16.5 acres of land. The locals did not forget it was there, neglected and under weeds. Access to the track was easy; all one had to do was just drive in. There were no gates or fences and the no trespassing sign was not enforced. Many townspeople took cars to the old track and drove them around to get a taste of the “South’s Fastest Paved Track” as it was advertised over a decade before. Teenagers threw some parties on the track and it also served as a “parking spot” at night for amorous couples. In the mid-60’s, the Draper Fire Department got a call about a fire at the track. Responding quickly, they found that someone had set fire to the remnants of the grandstands. It was probably set by someone recognizing the danger of a collapse because of people playing on them. Draper fireman Pete Overby, who watched races there when it first opened, operated the tanker truck. The fire was contained but the creaky wooden stands were gone forever. The firemen, with the exception of Overby,
were subjected to a bad case of poison oak from the vegetation that had taken over some of the stands. The smoke was heavily laden with the burning plant, infecting the firemen. The track was also popular with gokart enthusiast that looked at it as the perfect place to play with their toys. It was common place for the locals to take their karts and dodge a few bushes that had sprung up in the cracks of the pavement as they enjoyed their Briggs&Stratton powered carts. On July 14th, 1974, a Sunday afternoon, some teenagers were at previous BiState operator Al Lillard’s house in Cascade. The young men in the group had acquired several go-carts and were looking for a good place to ride and take their wives. Lillard’s daughter, Deborah, suggested that they try the old racetrack. Lillard warned them that the site was probably posted but they decided to try anyway. Arriving there, they found no gates or trespassing signs and quickly entered. The young people aged from 17 to 21 were there just to have a good time and have everyone that wanted to, take a few laps around the field. Lillards daughter and her 2 friends stood on the south end of the track. The brothers Charles and Mike Conrad from Danville, got crossed up and ended up in a head-on collision right in front of their wives. One of the women ran to Bryan Brown’s house beside the track to summon an ambulance while the other two tried to administer first aid. Charles, who was going the right way, had some minor head trauma that kept him at Morehead Hospital until Monday, however, his brother was not as fortunate. He was bleeding profusely out of his mouth. The women tried to clear his mouth of the blood and broken teeth so he could breath. Mike’s head hit the engine, causing a critical injury. He was taken to Morehead Hospital and then rushed by Rockingham County Ambulance to Cone Hospital in Greensboro. He passed away at 10 p.m., about two hours after the wreck This was the only fatality that the track ever suffered. After the fatal wreck, there were some half-hearted attempts to block the track by throwing

scrap metal and other obstacles on the track and the entrance. This was easy to either navigate around or move. After a short while, scrutiny around the track faded away. However, the track did not fade from everyone’s attention. The Solite Corporation ran a cinder block manufacturing facility and rock quarry next to the track. The owner of the business was John Roberts of Richmond, Virginia. Roberts had an interest in acquiring the racetrack property and finally was able to round up all the old owners and purchase the track. Roberts also bought the old boot-legging joint known as “Squats” and later “the Line,” for it was located on the Virginia side of the state line and bordered Solite. C.H. Gover of Draper managed the SoLite plant for years. Known for running a tight ship and being a friend to everyone, his largest fault was being too good to people. Trying to be a righteous man and eradicate any less than desirable structures, when Solite bought “Squat’s,” Gover quickly brought bull-dozers in and razed the iconic half a century old property. While many of the past customers of the old brick building felt a sense of remorse about the obliteration of the old liquor joint, C.H. Gover had his eyes on demolishing the derelict track. Getting permission from owner John Roberts, he had the equipment lined up ready to go in. C.H. Gover was worried about someone else being injured at the track. People were still going there to try a lap around the track or to participate in a romantic liaison at night. As luck would have it, John Roberts sold the SoLite company while this demolition was being lined up. The new operators found out that the racetrack property was not included in the sale as it was originally believed to be and they had no interest in pursuing the demolition. C. H. Gover was thwarted in his plans to level the track. Nothing really changed at the track, activities still were taking place. It was always a thrill to take one’s car around the track. Jerry Wilson had bought the house that was beside the track that had belonged to Bryan Brown. He kept an eye on the track and kept the pavement bush-hogged to keep the vegetation down. Jerry repaired an old Chevrolet station wagon for John Robert’s son in the 1990’s and mentioned that he was keeping the old track up. John Jr. quickly told him to stop the mowing and call the police if anyone was seen on the property. It would seem like the Robert’s family would appreciate someone keeping the property up as it was for sale but it was not to be. The trees finally began to crack the aged pave-
ment open and started to dislodge the concrete barriers that Early Saunders had put up in 1949 to protect the grandstands. John Robert’s mining and commercial property company, RR Inc, priced the property at $15,000 an acre which was way overpriced for the 16.5 acre plot. Spencers Inc. of Mt Airy, the present owners of the quarry, finally came to an agreement with RR Inc and bought it in 2016. As of the present date , no one knows what the fate of this pioneer NASCAR track will be.
The End
I always wondered about the old racetrack that my grandfather George Meade, took me to when I was eight years old. The 2012 exhibition of the Draper Speedway by the Eden Historical Museum, (which holds the attendance record for their museum exhibits) amazed me by all the information that they had accumulated. Still, I had many more questions than answers. To help put the pieces of this puzzle together, I was blessed by the research of Bill Mangum from Danville that he put in two research books, the VirginiaCarolina Early Dirt Racers. With the museum and Mangum providing invaluable sources, the framework of these stories were laid. To put a little local color in this narrative, a multitude of people provided information that would have been lost to the annuals of time but now is recorded. There is no way that I could have put this story together without their help. They gave unselfishly their time and stories. This is probably the most thoroughly recorded history of a small town racetrack in the country. Thanks to the input of my sources, my plans to do a two month story morphed into thirty-eight episodes. Getting the material together was not always easy: however, during this journey back in time, I learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and made a lot of new friends. I hope that you have enjoyed reading this history of the Draper Speedway of the Tri-Cities and its contribution to small track racing history. Thanks again to all those who made this possible..

The Morehead Theartre Group in October preformed two very special short plays that were to head to the finals at the NCTC Theartre Festival on October 27th & 28th at rocky River High School in Mint Hill N.C. This will be the 6th time the drama department has participated in this competition. Each play was performed three times for the public. Both productions were Directed by Krista Stewart. Limitations were put on the plays as to time and how much props could be used. Each play could only have a 10’x10’ area in which every prop would have to fit. The plays were timed down to 45 minutes each from the time the announcer says “Are you ready” in which the props can be brought out and set up until the final bow can not go one second over 45 minutes. This is quite a challege, but the crew and actors lived up to the challege. The first play, Peter & Wendy, of course featured a short rendition of the ever popular Peter Pan. The group was spectacular in their rendition of the classic and brought humor to the stage in a delightful way. These talented and hardworking actors included in Peter & Wendy were Riley Gilliam as Peter, Holli Burroughs as Wendy, Sarah Barton as Tink, Tristyn Rawlings as Tiger Lily, Kaitlyn Blankenship as Mr.s Darling, Gage Rawlins as Mr. Darling, Bruce Casper as Hook, Hallie Bullins as Smee, Breahna Doggett as the Mermaid, Donovan Blackwell as a Pirate and Lost Boys were Katelyn Edwards, Alyssa Dancy, Kennedy Cohen, and Jada Prichard. Directed by Krista Stewart, Stage Manager was Harmoni Hairston, Assistant Stage Manager and lighting person was Kayla Clark. Costumes were handled by Naudia Florence. The second play “Red Light” was much more serious and dealt with the growing problem of Human Trafficing, featuring examples of girls who were taken from all walks of life, showing, how they were tricked and led into a life of captivity with the Human Trafficers. One a runaway, one answering an advertisement on Craigs list for babysitting, one meeting a boy online, one a foster child bounced around from home to home due to her disability, another a much loved boyfriend forced her into prostitution, and Violet who had been in captivity the longest who gives advice to the others. Each girl ended up in the same room, held captive and sold into
Scenes from the moving presentation of Red Light prostitution, beaten and subdued in every way, until one, the weakest of the bunch who was murdered for not participating as her captors wanted. This moving, student written play, was intruduced on two of the three presentations by Det. Brian Disher of the Eden Police Department, who explained what the audience was about to witness and to tell them how much of a problem this subject really is in every area of America. The writing team consisted of Kaitlyn Blankenship, Hallie Bullins, Hollie Burroughts, Kennedy Cohen, Riley Gilliam, Jada Prichard and Gage Rawlins. The cast consisted of Breahna Dogget as Violet, Naudia Florece as Molly, Kennedy Cohen as Gwen, Katilyn Blankenship as Kimmy, Jada Prichard as Tanja and Katelyn Edwards as Amelia. The supporting cast included Gage Rawlins, Bruce Casper, Donovan Blackwall, Alyssa Dancy, Holli Burroughts, Tristyn Rawlins, Riley Gilliam, Hallie Bullins and Kayla Clark. Stage Manager Kayla Clark

Voting Residency Facts
Fact One: Your legal voting residence is your place of permanent domicile. That place shall be considered the residence of a person in which that person's habitation is fixed, and to which, whenever that person is absent, that person has the intention of returning.
Fact Two: If you are homeless, you may still register and vote. If your residence is not a traditional residence assoc.d with real property, the location of your usual sleeping area shall be controlling as to your residence. (Residence shall be broadly construed by election officials to provide all persons with the opportunity to register and vote. For example, a voter’s statement of a mailing address that differs from his or her residence address does not call the voter’s residency into question. Voter registration forms provide a space for an applicant to visually map where he or she usually sleeps.)
Fact Three: You may continue to vote in your usual North Carolina county if you only temporarily relocate. A person shall not be considered to have lost residence if that person leaves home and goes into another state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district of North Carolina, for temporary purposes only, with the intention of returning.

Fact Four: You may not vote in a county if you are only living in that county on a temporary basis. A person shall not be considered to have gained residence in any county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district of North Carolina, into which that person comes for temporary purposes only, without the intention of making that county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district a permanent place of abode.
Fact Five: When you move to a new county or state, you are no longer eligible to vote in your previous county. A person who removes to another state or county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district within North Carolina, with the intention of making that state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district a permanent residence, shall be considered to have lost residence in the state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which he or she has removed. Fact Six: If you move away and establish a new residence for an indefinite period, you are no longer eligible to vote in your previous county, even if you believe that you may eventually return to your previous residence. A person who removes to another state or to a county,
municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district within North Carolina, with the intention of remaining there an indefinite time and making that state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district that person's place of residence, shall be considered to have lost residence in North Carolina, or the county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which he or she has removed, even if that person may entertain an intention to return at some future time.
Fact Seven: If you move away, register and vote in another county or state, you will no longer be eligible to vote in your previous county. A person who moves into another state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district, or into the District of Columbia, and while there exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election, shall be considered to have lost residence in that State, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which he or she removed.

Public Transportation Keeps People Moving
For many years, Aging, Disability & Transit Services (ADTS) has worked hard to bring public transportation to Rockingham County. Having provided local transportation services since 1983, ADTS serves the public transportation needs through the RCATS van and skat bus transportation systems. Our services are driven by community need and sustained through community support and as such, we feel a great sense of responsibility to the residents of Rockingham County. We are delighted to share some program specific information and yearend highlights with you. Through the RCATS demand/response system our team travels over 51 thousand miles a month while also coordinating all non-emergency medical transportation trips for Medicaid recipients. RCATS operates 22 vehicles, 20 of which are lift equipped conversion vans, providing transportation services within the boundaries of the county. This system requires a three working day notice in advance of your appointment/reservation. Fares apply at $2.00 or $3.00 each way depending upon origin and destination for trips that are not covered under Medicaid. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturdays for dialysis only. Scheduling a ride is as easy as making one phone call to our office at (336) 347-2287. Over the past year, our vans provided 71,643 in-county trips to nearly 14,000 residents. In 2013, ADTS took a major step in the expansion of our transit services with the launch of the skat fixed route bus system, the first public bus system to serve Rockingham
Powers
County in many years. In addition to offering fixed bus routes in Eden, Reidsville and Western Rockingham, the skat network includes a connector system that affords riders the ability to move across the county as well as access the numerous services and programs housed in Wentworth. At a cost of only one dollar every time you board a vehicle, the buses and connectors together offer a convenient and affordable way to access the entire community. The buses operate Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and run on an hour loop through their designated areas; stopping at carefully chosen points with community use and convenience in mind. 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. The bus system has provided more than 34,000 trips this year alone! We continue to hear how the system is changing lives for the better – it’s helping residents secure job training and employment, providing transport to and from classes at Rockingham Community College, helping people access public and nonprofit programs or secure groceries and medications. In general, people are telling us it’s enhancing and expanding their ability to move freely throughout our county, and that’s the goal! 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)349-2343.

What Do Women Really Want?
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question?... What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered... is to be in charge of her own life. Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened The beau replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day... or night? Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments? What would YOU do? What Lancelot chose is below. BUT... make YOUR choice before you continue reading. OKAY? Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. Now... what is the moral to this story? The moral is..... If you don't let a woman have her own way... Things are going to get ugly.

Nowhere will you find more truth and humor than the innocence of a child... Read what some children have said when approached with unique situations. While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the man's, he said, "I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller too."

Bragging About Son Joke
Three old ladies are sitting around a table playing bridge and bragging about their sons. “My Freddie,” said Margaret, “Everyone should be so lucky to have a son like my Freddie. Once a week he brings me a huge bouquet of flowers, he’s constantly bringing me out to restaurants to eat, if I so much as hint that I want something the next morning it’s on my doorstep.” “That’s very nice about your Freddie”, says Gertrude. “But with all due respect, when I think about the way my Sammy takes care of me, it just can’t compare. Every morning as soon as I wake up he greets me with bacon and freshly brewed coffee. Every lunch he comes over and cooks me a gourmet lunch, and every supper he brings me to his house for supper, he truly treats me like a queen.” “WELL!” Says Barbara “I don’t want to make any of you feel bad or anything, but wait until you hear about my Harry, twice a week he pays someone $200 an hour just so he can lie on their couch and talk to them, and who do you think he speaks about at those prices?” asks Barbara with a big excited double chin smile, “I’ll tell you who he speaks about! ALL HE SPEAKS ABOUT IS ME!”

1st grader answers
A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her Clarkston, MI class. She presented each child in her class the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are just 6-year-olds, because the last one is classic... although sad to see it said!

From Root to Branch Local Geneology Studies By Elvin Perkins, Jr.
Hopkins Descendants Came to Rockingham and Stokes Counties
Richard Hopkins settled in Henry County, Virginia, probably in the 1780s and appears in the Federal Census of 1790. Later records show that he lived in the Critz area of Patrick County, which had been formed from Henry County. Richard was hired to work on the surveying crew of Peter France on June 11, 1792. The survey crew is recorded in Patrick Co., VA Order Book 00, June Court 1792. Richard paid taxes on 100 acres of land in 1792. His wife’s name is believed to have been Rachel, but her last name is not known. Richard had several children whose names were Nancy, James (Jimmy), William (Billy), Jane, and Frances (Franky). Thomas Hopkins a possible nephew of Richard moved with his family to Tennessee but later returned to the Buffalo Ridge Community of Patrick County. Thomas had descendants who would move to Rockingham County, North Carolina living in the area of Eden. Frances Hopkins, a daughter of Richard, was called "Franky." She married James Roe in Patrick County, Virginia in 1828. The death of Frances Hopkins Roe is recorded in the death register of the Patrick County, Virginia Courthouse. It stated that she died on May 7, 1891 at the age of 92, a widow. The cause of death was given as "old age." Her parents were listed as Richard and Rachel Hopkins. Personal information on Frances was supplied by Harden Hopkins, a "relative." William Hopkins, son of Richard, was born circa 1793, married Sarah “Sallie” Snider in Patrick County on January 27, 1824. They lived on Waters Mill Creek near Critz where they farmed and had their children. After the 1840 census William moved his family to Stokes County, NC, and lived in what is now the Oak Ridge community near Smith’s Chapel Church. By 1860, William Hopkins had left his wife Sallie and returned to Patrick County to live with the Harden Hopkins family and was employed as a cook and farm laborer. Also living in the home was William’s sister Frances who was a widow from her marriage to James Roe. William was involved in the apparent accidental shooting of his son Peter. A court hearing took place and no charges were brought against William even though there was some apparent animosity between the father and son. This could likely explain why William and Sallie were separated. William was
deceased before 1870. Sallie Snider Hopkins continued to live in Stokes County with her children or other family members until her death in the 1870’s. Additional research has revealed that William married twice. He had one son Richard by his first wife, Philida Thacker. This Richard moved to Missouri where he had several children with one or two of his sons fighting with Quantrill’s Raiders during the War Between the States. The known children of William and Sallie Hopkins were the following: Peter (b. 1827) who married Jane Dodson in Stokes County on May 7, 1851; Susan (b. 1828) who married Peter T. Joyce in Stokes County on April 29, 1851; Lucy (b. 1830) who married William Barnes in Stokes County on April 18, 1854; Frances (b. 1834); and John Hopkins who married his cousin Martha Hopkins in Patrick County on January 22, 1868. John Hopkins was born February 15, 1839. He learned to be a blacksmith as a young man and also farmed to support his mother and himself until the outbreak of the War Between the States. He enlisted into confederate service on March 1, 1862, and became a member of Company H, the “Stokes Boys,” of the 22nd NC Regiment. He served honorably in several conflicts including the Gettysburg Campaign and would be captured twice and imprisoned at the Point Lookout Prison for Confederates in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. After his marriage, John Hopkins lived in the Nettleridge section of Patrick County where he farmed and became a mill operator. Sometime after the year 1900 John and his family moved into Mayodan in Rockingham County, NC. The development of textile mills in Rockingham County had brought many people into the area seeking better employment opportunities. John and Martha Hopkins had nine children all born in Patrick County: Mary Elizabeth (18691908) married Harden Lee Kendrick, October 10, 1893; Martha Ann (1871-1949) married her cousin Peter David Joyce, March 15, 1896; Rosa Lee (1873-1947) never married; John Green (1874-1955) married Loutina Mize on December 8, 1897; Sallie Jane (1877-1965) married Walter Monroe Hutchens, December 4, 1898;
Perkins
Louisa Frances (1880-1969) married Willie Goode Hutchens, May 31, 1896; Nannie Bell (1884-1970) married Daniel Jackson Smith of Mayodan, Nov. 10, 1907; Lucy Darling (1886-1964) never married; Drucella Texa (1889-1984) married Martin Luther Smith (brother of Daniel J. Smith) on September 6, 1908. John Hopkins died in the Summerfield, NC, on December 10, 1936. His wife, Martha, died in Rockingham County on September 3, 1921. They are buried in the Llewellyn Family Cemetery near Mayodan. Harden Hopkins was the son of Frankie Hopkins and the grandson of Richard Hopkins. Harden was born circa 1818 and married Elizabeth Murphy in Patrick County, October 15, 1839. Elizabeth was born about 1810 and died around 1890. After her death Harden married Charity Gilley Mahon, the daughter of Burwell and Sally Gilley, on May 14, 1891. Harden and Elizabeth Hopkins lived in Patrick County and had six children: Jemima Frances (b. 1840) married William Hensley, October 30, 1867; Caroline M. (February 1843- August 28, 1855); Mary Elizabeth (b. 1845) married Richard Gilley on August 29, 1876; Martha (b. November 8, 1849) married
John Hopkins and moved to Mayodan, NC; Harden Columbus “Lum” Green Hopkins (b. June 28, 1850) married Mary Odell on October 24, 1869; William Richard (b. October 11, 1853) married Sarah Allen, June 27, 1872. Harden Hopkins died in 1898 leaving a will in Patrick County, which named his five living children and his wife Charity. His son Lum Hopkins moved into the old Spray area of Eden in Rockingham County. Lum died October 24, 1918. His wife Mary was born December 18, 1848 and died May 26, 1939. They are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Eden. Several of their children and grandchildren are buried at Woodlawn and Overlook Cemeteries. Lum’s known children were the following: Green (b. 1870); Harden Leftwich (1871-1958) married Ida Elizabeth Martin, March 3, 1892; John (b. 1873) married Lula T. Martin, January 16, 1896; Rufus Andrew Jackson (1879-1961) married Rosie Bell
Kendrick, September 30, 1897; Sarah “Sallie” Jane (b. 1882) married Jack Rakes; and James Dillard (1885-1977) married Lucinda Ore on February 21, 1920. The families of William and Harden Hopkins are representative of the large migration of people who came to Rockingham and Stokes Counties during a period of rapid agricultural growth and industrial development in the early 1900’s. As the families grew their children would continue to move seeking employment in the Cone Mills in Guilford County. Hundreds of Hopkins descendants still make their homes in Rockingham County and the surrounding area.

Smart Start Receives Funding to Expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
(Rockingham County will enroll 1,000 new children!) Smart Start and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library are working together to bring books to North Carolina’s youngest children through funding provided by the North Carolina General Assembly. During the 2017 legislative session, North Carolina state lawmakers included $3.5 million in the first year of the budget and $7 million in the second year for the Smart Start network to offer free books through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children across the state. Imagination Library is a program created to foster a love of reading among children aged birth to five through the gift of a specially selected book delivered right to their home each month. “I’m thrilled that my Imagination Library is going to be offered to so many children in North Carolina” stated Dolly Parton, the founder of Imagination Library. “Working together we can help children dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.” In Rockingham County, the Rockingham County Partnership for Children coordinates the program. With the expansion by the NC General Assembly, 1,000 additional children will be enrolled in the program. “Our state leaders clearly understand how important an early love of reading is for each child's success in school and later in life,” stated Cindy Watkins, the President of the North Carolina Partnership for Children that oversees the Smart Start network, “Smart Start works in every community to ensure young children have a strong foundation for starting kindergarten – now we can offer this important literacy program to that critical work.” “The opportunity to expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Rockingham County is exciting. Adding 1,000 children to the program will mean that we are serving over 65% of our birth-five population,” stated Heather Adams, the Executive
Director of the Partnership, “This is a tremendous opportunity! Reaching this many young children in our county will help ensure more kindergartners are starting school with strong preliteracy skills which we know is a huge predictor of academic success.” The statewide effort will begin in 98 of North Carolina’s 100 counties. Because the program is offered by zip code, the initial launch will cover 85 percent of NC zip codes expanding to cover every county by the second year.
