Shelton fills City Manager’s spot until permanent candidate chosen Letter from Mayor Neville Hall

On August 27, 2019, City Manager Brad Corcoran resigned his position prior to making an Alford plea in response to evidence he had manipulated timesheets to increase compensation for one of his children who worked part-time for the City. We regret that this incident happened, but the Eden City Council acted swiftly and decisively to resolve the issue. Former Director of Public Utilities, Terry Shelton, has assumed the role of City Manager until a permanent replacement can be hired. Mr. Shelton is a 40-year City employee with an impeccable reputation. A thorough search for Mr. Shelton’s successor has already begun.

Art in the Garden

needs input and support

Art in the Garden (AITG) is a new non-profit interested in offering art classes for children, youth, seniors, and adults in Rockingham County. While the physical space is located in Reidsville, AITG is mobile and will offer classes in different parts of the community for children. While the board initially has limited funds and are just getting started, there are years of successful experiences in business and the arts among the members. Each of the board members owns their own art business and works in the community. There is support from a diverse group of artists and business owners to start this project who will serve as volunteers and advisors to the board of directors. The board and volunteers are committed to this project as well as working with the established artists and businesses in the downtown area to enhance their customers and profitability as well. AITG is networking with the Arts Council to provide assistance with the newly forming Youth Arts Council as well as with MAC, the Fine Arts Festival, the Theater Guild and the artists to educate children and youth in the arts.

In the meantime, personnel policies will be evaluated and changed to ensure the integrity of the City’s compensation program. Safeguards will be incorporated so unfortunate incidents such as this will not be repeated. It is important for citizens to know that the City of Eden’s financial condition is sound; in fact it is better than any time in its history. First of all, the City has received a “clean” audit from a reputable accounting firm that has thoroughly reviewed its financial transactions annually for 38 years. This is the equivalent of an “A” rating. Secondly, the City has increased its fund balance 126% from $4,157,472 in the year 2000 to $9,408,745 in June of 2018. This illustrates that hard earned taxpayer money is spent conservatively and saving money is the highest priority. Thirdly, City staff, led by City Council, has secured $28,309,039 in grants for projects during the last six years. These grants do not have to be repaid, saving taxpayer money. Finally, the City has the lowest tax rate in the county and taxes have only been raised once in 19 years. On behalf of the Eden City Council I can assure you that the City of Eden will continue to provide the utmost in customer service to its valued citizens and maintain the highest level of professionalism.

UNC Rockingham Health Care Now Offering 3D Mammograms

Breast imaging services at UNC Rockingham Health Care now include 3D mammograms, a screening that delivers a more in depth look at breast tissue. The more detailed 3D image reduces the likelihood of additional screenings or follow-up visits. It also enables physicians to find cancers at an earlier stage. For those who have dense breast tissue, a 3D mammogram offers a clearer image. Screening mammograms are recommended for women beginning at age 40, unless otherwise advised by your physician. During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, hours will be extended to 7 p.m. every Monday. Patients getting a mammogram during Breast Cancer Awareness Month will receive a free gift. To make an appointment, call Central Scheduling at 336627-6183. UNC Rockingham Wright Imaging Center, A Service of UNC Rockingham Hospital is at 618 South Pierce Street, Eden. 3D Mammography at UNC Rockingham is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life

Art in the Garden...

Continued from Page 1

Plans include running an after school program for children and youth in different art mediums. Services will be offered to the school system arts programming. There will also be parent child classes and adult classes as well as “art in expected places” offering space for youth art meetings and projects hoping to reach every child who has an interest in art. We believe in the STEAM program. As our programs integrate with education, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) engagement and increasing affordability, Art in the Garden is positioned to contribute to local hobbyists, artistic businesses, and schools. We are able to go into the schools as well as offer after school programs to aid in the development of the fifth element of the STEAM programs. As stated by the University of San Diego, “by engaging students around the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math, STEAM aims to spark an interest and life-long love of the arts and sciences in children from an early age. Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) are similar disciplines in that all involve creative processes and none uses just one method for inquiry and investigation. In the near future we hope to provide a marketplace for artists needing a place to create. This space will be offered at a low cost so artists can afford their own space. Other cities report excellent results by allowing a maker space in their city and the synergy that comes from the artists greatly improves the community by the projects they create. Art in the Garden members will work hard to make these goals a reality for the young children, youth, seniors, and adults of Rockingham County. By creating a cohesive artist’s community we hope to brand Rockingham County as the place to move to, bring business to, and raise children. We cannot do this without community support. While we are writing grants to supplement the Board’s own personal investment in this, we need your help too. How can you support us? • Donate - you can make a donation through our Facebook page via PayPal. www.facebook.com/artinthegardennc/ or donate by mailing a check to Art in the Garden, P. O. Box 613, Reidsville, NC 27323 Sign up for classes - bring a friend (classes will be posted soon on our Facebook page.) Does your workplace have a grant program? Let us know and be sure to tell others about us! Thank you for your support of the Arts and making our community a great place to live, raise children, and enhance economic development.

Explaining germs to kids

If you have a child, you know what back to school time means. That’s right, a tsunami of germs is about to come in your door. Much as we love them, little ones tend to be germ magnets. Kids tend to catch, on average, six to eight colds a year. With 20 or more students in the average classroom, kids can easily pick up germs that lead to colds, flu, rashes, ear infections, “the stomach bug,” and other illnesses. One sick child can spread an illness to an entire classroom before we know it (and let’s not forget every parent’s greatest fear— lice!) TEACH YOUR KIDS ABOUT GERMS You can tell your kids repeatedly that it is important to wash their hands, brush their teeth, and bathe, but if they don’t know why, they just think … well, that you’re just being a parent. It can be difficult to explain the need for good hygiene practices if they don’t understand what germs are and why they are bad — especially when they can’t be seen. But even young children can be taught that germs are living organisms that can grow and multiply while older children can be taught about good germs vs. bad germs and even the difference between viruses and bacteria. SHOW THEM HOW EASILY GERMS SPREAD One fun way to show kids how germs spread is to use glitter. Rub your kids’ hands with glitter and let them touch different objects to show how easily the “germs” spread. Then have them wash their hands, first rinsing with plain water and then washing with soapy water, to show how they disappear after washing. Are you having a tough time convincing your little one to cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze? (Did you know that a sneeze travels up to 100 MPH and can spread 100,000 germs through the air?!) A spray bottle filled with a little colored water and set to mist can help show how far water droplets can travel, even when we can’t see them. TEACH YOUR KIDS NOT TO SHARE Now that your kids know how easy it is for germs to spread, it is important to teach them how to avoid them: 1. Wash your hands frequently. Washing with soap and water is best, but hand sanitizer will do in a pinch. 2. Brush your teeth. Get your child into the habit of brushing and flossing thoroughly twice a day. 3. Don’t touch your mouth, face or nose. This reduces their risk for colds and flu (and pink eye!). 4. Don’t share food and drink. Saliva and mucus can easily transmit everything from stomach viruses to hand, foot and mouth disease. 5. Don’t wear each other’s clothing. Hats and scarves can quickly spread head lice and ringworm. 6. Be active. Physical activity helps strengthen the immune system and can help your child fight off infections. BUT DON’T GO OVERBOARD! Hygiene is important, of course, but it is not healthy for either you or your child to become obsessive about germs. Studies by Johns Hopkins Medicine and others have shown that infants exposed to dirt, dander and germs may actually have lower rates of allergies and asthma later in life. Cleaning doorknobs, counters, toys, etc. frequently with soap and water, particularly during cold and flu season, will help minimize illnesses, but bleaching and sanitizing every surface is not necessary or advised — and may, in fact, leave your child less able to fight off illness. STAY CURRENT ON VACCINATIONS Vaccine-preventable diseases have been making resurgence in the U.S. despite overwhelming evidence that childhood vaccines are safe and effective. There are 10,000 to 20,000 cases of whooping cough each year, with 10 to 20 infants — many too young to be vaccinated — dying from the preventable disease. In 2017, there were 110,000 measles deaths globally, most of them children under 5. Work with your pediatrician to make sure your child is up-to-date and protected. It is your child’s best defense against these dangerous, sometimes fatal preventable diseases. WE’RE HERE TO HELP Your Health Mart ® pharmacist is an important part of your health care team. From vaccinations to cold remedies, if you have questions about how to keep your family healthy, we are here to help!

Ron Norwood with family and friends.

Norwood Named First "ROCKINGHAM COUNTY CHAMPION" The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners, chose Charles Ronald Norwood to be honored as the first "Rockingham County Champion" for his generous community spirit and his contributions to citizens of Rockingham County. Wonderful words of praise, a plaque, a resolution, a cake, a packed Board Room, a standing ovation, lots of hugs, family, friends, col-

leagues, neighbors, and many thank-you's were just a few of the ways the first "Rockingham County Champion" was saluted at the Sept. 16th Board meeting of the Rockingham County Commissioners. Norwood has given decades of service helping others in Rockingham County so on Monday night, Rockingham County showered much love on Norwood to say thanks.

Volunteers are especially needed to help on the intake days for Angle Tree applicants. If you can find it in your heart and in your schedule to help a day or maybe more.

Out with the Old, In with the new

Change is inevitable, and after 12 years the “Batteau Mural” at the pockect park on Washington Street in Eden, which was put in under a 2007 Grant for public art, has moved to a new home in Wentworth at the Museum of Archives of Rockingham County (MARC). to be put on display at a later date. Soon to be replacing the former mural is artwork designed with extensive input from citizens, historic records and photos. This will be artistically combined by Brandon Hardison, who also designed the Stoneville mural. The changes came about due to rebranding of the city’s image. In former months all citizens were invited to have input in the Strategic Planning Commission s meetings concerning the rebranding project and

design of the next mural installation. The commission has worked hard on many recent public art additions and changes to enhance sections of our city. Some examples include the wire art at Grogan Park, murals in other parts of the city and updates to parks. There is $300K in the general fund for the Strategic Planning Commission to work with the trails, public art installations, amenities and such. Each project approved must follow a criteria in the Strategic Planning guide. The new mural is scheduled to be installed in early October. The structure which contains the mural has been checked out to make sure the new mural will meet safety needs. The Historic Preservation Commission wanted the new art to encompass our entire city’s history as well as emphasise the

present beauty and natural resources of our community. This new mural will honor our rich textile heritage and display many other aspects of our history. Images of well known buildings, a canoe, our rivers and nature features, downtowns, and a map of the city. Not everyone was happy about the change. Jean Harrington, who has worked tirelessly for the community and for the former mural was not happy about the change and in September she resigned her posision on the Historic Preservation Commission to make that point. “I feel betrayed” she noted to the paper. Her desire was for the former mural to remain for years to come. “It belongs here, where the history took place,” she added.

unselfishly shared with the Rockingham County community for decades by David & Terry Wood. They were nominated by Cathy Powers, Executive Director of Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County (ADTS). Powers nomination included the following: "Dick’s Drive In opened over 56 years ago and they have filled the bellies of hungry patrons from all over the County. Their service to the community doesn’t end there. For the past 28 years, they have partnered with Meals-on-Wheels to graciously extend their food service beyond the walls of their restaurant and into the homes of seniors in need. Terry and David Wood and their outstanding team have spent Christmas Eve preparing and delivering meals to home-bound seniors across our community for nearly three decades. Fran Hughes, Director of Nutrition Services at ADTS, had the pleasure of meeting Terry before Christmas to provide information about the Meals-on-Wheels clients in need. At that time, she got to personally thank him and convey what their service has meant to the clients of ADTS over the years. For the meal recipients, the volunteer may be the only person they see. It’s because of their

dedicated service to the citizens of Rockingham County that we recognize David Wood and Terry Wood as Outstanding Volunteers." The Wood brothers received special certificates from the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners.

Soon we will begin hearing Christmas music, start our shopping, and enter the rush of the holiday season. I am writing to you before all of the rush begins, because here at Help Incorporated we are already planning for the holidays. Our agency assists victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking. What you may not know is that we host a Holiday Store for clients to “shop” for their families. The client does not have to pay anything, but they enter a room full of items for all ages. They are able to pick items for their children, and themselves. We have volunteers there to wrap the gifts, provide stocking stuffer items and snacks for the clients to enjoy. The Holiday Store is made possible by community partners, businesses, churches, and individuals in the community. I would like to invite you to be a donor for this special event. There are plenty of ways for you to help, and we have made it easy for you. You can collect items for the store ranging from

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Alarms sound in Wentworth

In late August Rockingham County Government had a un-scheduled fire alarm to to go off at the Governmental Center on NC Hwy. 65 in Wentworth, (not a training event but an actual event). Rockingham County Safety & Risk Manager Chris Elliott reported that two employees stood out with their Safety Leadership under pressure. Financial Services Director Pat Galloway made sure that all the auditors were accounted for before she left the building. Tax Administrator Mark McClintock assured that staff and citizens were all clear from the Tax Dept., double checking with Elliott, and relaying critical information quickly. Both Galloway and McClintock received a Safety Leadership Award for their efforts. In addition, over the last four weeks, Elliott witnessed multiple Information Technology (IT) staff members, including their department head, Chief Information Officer Derek Southern, use safety-minded techniques and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when conducting county business. Elliott was thoroughly impressed with their dedication to safe work practices and awarded the IT Department a Departmental Safety Leadership Award for the month of August.

Safety measures awarded

Rockingham County Commissioners applauded various county departments for receiving a total of 14 safety/ health awards. The The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners thanked staff and leaders for their achievement during the September Board meeting at the Governmental Center in Wentworth. Rockingham County Safety & Risk Manager Chris Elliott recently received a letter responding to applications he filed in January to North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) Commissioner Cherrie Berry. The letter congratulated the County Government for commitment to safety and health; and that Rockingham County received 14 safety & health awards from Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Nine departments received First Year Gold awards: 9-1-1, Board of Elections, Economic Development, Financial Services, Information Technology, Public Landfill, Rockingham County Library System, Register of Deeds Office, and the Department of Social Services. Five departments received Second Consecutive Year Gold Awards: County Manager's Office & Legal, Fire Marshal's Office, Human Resources, Inspections, and the Public Health Departments. The qualifications to receive an award are based on the DART rates for each department. DART means Days Away, Restricted or Transferred. Elliott collects and keeps this information for every department on OSHA 300A Forms, which are audited every year by Federal OSHA and the Bureau of Labor and Statistics division. The goal is a DART rate less than 50 percent below the average for its' particular industry group.

Mr. Harmony returns to landfill

"He's back!" Rockingham County Public Landfill's royal resident, Mr. Harmony, the American Bald Eagle, was captured in a photo again! According to Assistant Landfill Supervisor Ed Shelton, "we have not seen him for awhile." Equipment Operator Jeff Ikerd, got a great photograph of the king perched high on a hill. Since 2016, members of the landfill team have seen Mr. Harmony, Mrs. Hope and their babies ... Apollo, Avenger, and Justice in various locations around the landfill.

The Lawson Family Murders - 1929 Part 1

“Went back home…What a home so sad and lone” – A. P. Carter

December 25, 1929, near Germanton in Stokes County, North Carolina, the family of Charles Davis Lawson and his wife Fannie were up early as most rural farm families preparing for the day. The morning was icy cold and snow had covered the ground for several days. This Wednesday was a special day, Christmas Day. As Fannie prepared the morning meal, Charlie added wood to the fire and looked forward to the day. He had planned a holiday surprise that no one would ever suspect. Over a week before Christmas Charlie surprisingly announced that the family would take a trip to Winston-Salem for some holiday shopping, where

they would purchase new clothes. Fannie packed a lunch to carry along and the children huddled into the back of the truck where they no doubt endured a cold December ride. Despite the temperature the family was excited about the trip. Wanting a remembrance and keepsake of the day, Charlie (age 43), informed Fannie (age 37) that they would drop by the photography studio for a family portrait. At the studio they would dress in their new clothes. The children included Marie (age 17), Arthur (age 16), Carrie (age 12), Maybell (age 7), James (age 4), Raymond (age 2) and little Mary Lou (age 4 months). Perhaps as they gathered and posed for the photograph Fannie may have remembered and longed for the presence of her third child William, born in 1914 and died of pneumonia in 1920.

The trip to the city had been a great outing. The joyful family returned home. A few days later on Wednesday, December 18th, a close friend and neighbor Martha Tuttle Montgomery died suddenly. On Thursday evening, December 19th, Charlie and Fannie attended the wake. As Fannie talked with the ladies inside Charlie and several other men huddled outside around a fire discussing events of the last few days and Martha’s untimely death. For those standing close to Charlie they heard him exclaim in a soft voice, “I wouldn’t mind dying, but I would want to take my family with me.” The night was cold. A neighbor, Isaac Badgett, would remember that the next few days would turn bitterly cold with heavy snow. Huge flakes accumulating over six inches would contribute to one of the worst winters in years. The soft fall of the snow and the quiet it brings would assure the Piedmont region of North Carolina and Virginia a white Christmas. It would be a Christmas never to be forgotten. Having spent a couple of days with his Uncle Charlie’s family, Sanders Lawson, son of Charlie’s brother Marion Lawson, rose early on Christmas morning to help his Uncle and cousin Arthur take care of the morning chores and tend to the farm animals. When the work was done they joined Fannie and the other children for breakfast. When the meal was finished Arthur informed his mother that he and Sanders would go hunting. As they walked across the farm in the snow Arthur and Sanders soon joined up with another of Arthur’s cousins, Odell Ashby. Odell was the son of Ida Lou Manring Ashby, the sister of Fannie. The boys hunted for over an hour. Odell wanted to return home to replenish his ammunition. After a brief visit and a warming by the fire the boys once again set out for the hunt stopping by other neighbors home where friends joined the group for the days hunt. Arthur needing more shells decided to return home for more ammunition. While at the Lawson home the boys gathered some old cans and began target shooting by throwing the cans in the air. Charlie soon came from the house and joined with the boys in the fun. Inside the house Fannie was cooking and preparing a Christmas meal. Sanders Lawson later recalled that Marie was baking a cake, which would soon be completed, and Carrie and Maybell were preparing to visit the home of their Uncle Elijah Lawson. Before the noon hour

Cone Health Places local Nurses on Great 100 List

For the eighth time, more Great 100 nurses work at Cone Health than work for any other health care network in the state. Twenty-seven of this year’s Great 100 nurses work at Cone Health. “These nurses were selected by peers from across North Carolina for demonstrating excellence in practice and a powerful commitment to their profession,” says Kenneth Rempher, PhD, RN, executive vice president, acute care services, and chief nurse executive, Cone Health. “Our patients benefit from their professionalism, leadership and dedication.” These nurses were selected in a blind application process. These special healthcare professionals at Annie Penn Hosptial were Mona Easter and Robin Gentry.

Outstanding volunteers honored

Two OUTSTANDING ROCKINGHAM COUNTY VOLUNTEERS recently honored by the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners were Mr. Robert Majerick and Mr. Jeff Smith. They were congratulated and thanked for volunteer commitment and service, at the Sept. 3rd, On-the-Road County Commissioners' meeting, held in Eden City Hall. Majerick and Smith were nominated by Stacy Burns, Director, of the BetsyJeff Penn 4-H Center. Burns wrote in the nomination: "The Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Center has been providing summer camp and overnight field trip experiences in Rockingham County for the past 55 years. During 2019 Hurricane Michael caused severe flooding, road washouts and substantial tree damage at the Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Center. Without the resources, time and expertise from Mr. Jeff Smith and Mr. Robert Majerick, the Penn 4-H Center would have been closed during the Fall season of 2019. Mr. Robert Majerick spent countless hours using his equipment and professional expertise to help the 4-H Center re-build

arrived the boys had dispersed, most running out of ammunition and several needing to return home for their families Christmas gathering. Charlie, Arthur and Sanders walked into the house to sit and warm up by the fire. Sanders would eventually tell that Charlie sat “gazing into the fireplace.” To everyone who had seen him that day, “Charlie Lawson appeared perfectly normal.” After warming themselves, Arthur informed his father that he and Sanders would like to continue hunting but were out of ammunition and wanted to know if he could borrow some of his shells. Still looking into the fire Charlie said “No.” He didn’t have many left and may wish to go hunting himself. Arthur and Sanders decided they would walk to Germanton and purchase more ammunition from Hardin McGee’s Store. Charlie agreed and the boys were soon gone. At a nearby farm that morning, Charlie’s Uncle, Joe Lawson was crying during breakfast and at other times throughout the day. His grandson Leonard

Bibey asked several times what was wrong. Joe replied, “I don’t know…Something just feels bad wrong.” At the Charlie Lawson home Fannie was informing Carried and Maybell that they needed to get their coats and wrap warmly for their walk to Uncle Elijah’s. A neighbor boy, Abe Heath arrived at the door to visit Carrie. Entering the house he wished everyone well. Charlie noticed Marie curling her hair and applying rouge to her face. Charlie objected to the rouge and a short conflict ensued. Charlie looked once more into the fireplace and informed Fannie he had things to do at the barn. He picked up his rifle and exited the door. Quickly arriving at the barn he located his two 12 gauge shotguns that he had placed their earlier. He then stood behind the barn several hundred yards from the house. A short distance away in the woods, Charlie’s brother Elijah and two sons were finishing the day’s rabbit hunt and were considering a stop by Charlie’s home for a brief visit. At about the same time, Carrie and Maybell headed out the door into the cold walking through the snow taking the path by the barn toward their uncle’s home. Behind the barn their father

patiently waited. After Carrie left, Abe Heath continued his visit talking with Marie while she completed her raisin cake. As Carrie and Maybell passed the barn their father suddenly appeared in front of them. Raising his rifle Carrie immediately understood what was happening. As she screamed she raised a hand in front of her face as her father fired his first shot and the bullet passed through her hand into her head. Charlie now aimed at Maybell who had turned to run to the house. The rifle apparently misfiring he took up a shotgun and the blast entered the left side of her back ripping through her body. A nearby neighbor, Dora Watts Wagoner heard the shots and believed she had heard the screams as the children pleaded with their father. Then all was quiet and she wasn’t sure. Other close neighbors also heard the shots but believed Charlie or someone else was rabbit hunting. Inside the Lawson home Abe Heath and the rest of the family also heard the gunshots. Abe like the rest believed it to be someone hunting nearby. Seeing that there was still some movement of the bodies

Charlie found a short piece of a two by four board and bashed their heads until the bodies were still. He was careful not to damage their faces. He then pulled the bodies into the barn and placed a stone underneath their head. Folding their arms over their chest he exited the barn and closed the door. He then hurried toward the house where Fannie now stood on the porch. To be concluded next month in part 2.

OCTOBER 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 15 H

Reidsville & Wentworth Roaming Around Reidsville

By Angela G. Stadler, Public Information Officer, City of Reidsville

The City of Reidsville is excited about our economic future as the long awaited Interstate 785, now fully funded and scheduled on the STIP (State Transportation Improvement Plan) by the State, gets closer to becoming a reality. I have been with the City of Reidsville since 1998, shortly after the I-785 designation was approved in 1997. While it was always discussed as a future possibility, efforts in recent years to get the project completely funded have really been advocated by local leaders. With some persistent pushing by the City, as well as the invaluable support of Senator Phil Berger, the State has agreed to extend this project to our City’s northern most interchange (Exit 153) with pre-construction on the actual lanes to start in 2025. The upgrades of the interchanges will start earlier, in 2020 and 2021. The project has also had the backing of the City of Eden, Rockingham County, Caswell County, the City of Greensboro, Guilford County and the Piedmont Triad Regional Council. Each realizes that the I-785 designation will affect us all positively. It is hoped that Virginia officials will help get the interstate extended to Altavista, Virginia, and beyond. On September 13, 2019, the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce and NCDOT hosted a panel discussion of the project at the Pennrose Park Country Club. Answering questions posted by Moderator/Chamber President Diane Sawyer, Senator Berger, NCDOT Board Chairman Mike Fox, NCDOT Division 7 Lead Engineer Mike Mills, Reidsville Councilman James Festerman and the City’s Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka gave some historical context for the project, along with the reasons why the Interstate 785 designation is so crucial to the area. As Senator Berger so eloquently said in a quote that came

out in the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce’s “Box Score” column, "The I-785 project is vital to the economic future of Reidsville, Rockingham County, and the surrounding area. It will give folks in our region easier and quicker access to more employment opportunities, better access to health care, and more cultural and entertainment options. At the same time, it will enable people from the Greater Triad and beyond to come to our communities to enjoy everything we have to offer, which will help grow our local economies. It has been a pleasure to work together with the leadership in Reidsville and Rockingham County to see this important project become a reality." The importance of Interstate 785 cannot be overlooked. One, it will allow us to move faster as travelers driving from Reidsville to the Greensboro and Guilford County area and beyond. That same speed and ease will also be experienced by businesses and industries moving product from place to place, thereby making

Reidsville and Rockingham County more attractive as industries look to relocate. "Interstate 785 will be a large part of Reidsville's future success in attracting industry, commercial business and fulltime residents,” said Reidsville Mayor Jay Donecker in that same “Box Score” column. “Many of our citizens probably don't realize how important it is to have a 'blue shield' highway passing through our city. I want our residents to understand what this project will contribute to Reidsville's short- and long-term sustainability and growth. I also want to stress that the City of Reidsville is one 100% behind this and other road improvements that will enhance our connectivity to other major highways/metro regions of the State and East Coast along with increasing our visibility to businesses and potential residents. “The Reidsville City Council has always taken action

based upon the long-term vision and is a ‘Can Do City’,” the Mayor continued. “City Council and staff will continue to advocate for projects such as 785 on behalf of our growing population of City residents. There is always room for one more on Team Reidsville!" Reidsville’s Fall Jubilee – October 19, 2019 Team Reidsville, led by Main Street Manager Missy Matthews, is also hard at work on getting ready for Rockingham County’s premiere festival, the Reidsville Fall Jubilee. I’m not just bragging (well, maybe a little!), but the Fall Jubilee was named the best local festival in RockinghamNow’s 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards. Over 100 vendors will be showcased at the Fall Jubilee, which starts at 10 a.m. and continues until 9 p.m. Homemade crafts will be on hand, along with a variety of items and great gift ideas. And, don’t forget all

that wonderful festival food, like turkey legs, funnel cakes and more. As usual, the event will include two stages. The Morehead Street stage will highlight local talent in 45-minute slots. You might see someone you know among the ensemble of singers, dancers and performers so don’t forget to stop by. In addition to the local stage, Market Square will be home to several up and coming acts. From 11-12:30 p.m., area favorite Jacob Vaughan will start the musical offerings by strumming his own special brand of country music. From 1-2:30 p.m. Banjo Earth will make you feel like you are in the Appalachian Mountains. The band’s influences range from Bill Monroe to Ravi Shankar so you won’t want to miss it. From 3-4:30 p.m. Radio Revolver plays both timeless and modern hits that you are sure to remember. Taking the stage from 5-6:30 p.m., the Megan Doss Band covers many favorite country tunes as well as top 40 pop dance hits and class rock ‘n roll. Capping off the day of music will be Sleeping Booty

from 7-9 p.m. They specialize in music from the 70s and 80s up until today’s tunes guaranteed to have you dancing the night away at Market Square. How about the younger members of your family? The Fall Jubilee’s Kidz Zone will feature family entertainment, including amusement rides and an expanded “Touch A Truck” area designed to delight. Throw in from noon until 4 p.m. a Petting Zoo, which will make you a hit with your kids! Lucky City Brewing Company is in charge of this year’s car show, labeled the “1st Annual LCB Cruise and Shine”. The number of entries will be limited to the first 100 cars and open to all classes of vehicles. There will be three judging categories – Mayor’s Choice, Fire Chief’s Choice and the People’s Choice. Registration is only $10 and check-in starts at 8 a.m. All cars must be in place by 10 a.m. to be judged with actual judging starting at 11 a.m. Trophies will be awarded at 2 p.m. I like that these classic cars bring a little bit of “history” to the Fall Jubilee, but it won’t be the only history on view throughout the day. This year the historic Governor Reid House, the last home of Governor David Settle Reid, will be open for visitors. Take a step back in time to 1881 when this colorful yellow and green house was built. While still occupied for many years after the Reids passed away, the house had deteriorated before being purchased in 1979 by the City’s Historic Properties Commission and renovated in the 1980s. Many of the furnishings are original to the house, several of them donated by Governor Reid’s granddaughter, Lucile Reid Fagg. The home, located at 321 Southeast Market Street, will be open from 12 noon until 5:00 p.m. the day of the Fall Jubilee. Big Apple Farm Supply will provide transportation via a short “hay ride” to the site or visitors may walk over to the house. Also, outside the house you can see the Reidsville Fire Department’s oldest vehicle, a 1919 American LaFrance Pumper, on display. More information will be available at the City’s Information Booth located near Market Square. (And get staff on hand to tell you about

from devastating storms. His quick thinking and extensive knowledge base is what makes him such an outstanding volunteer. Mr. Jeff Smith is a lifelong member of the Penn 4-H Center family and since childhood he has dedicated his time and energy into assuring the success of the center. The contributions he has made throughout the years is directly reflected in the success of the center and the 8000 children it serves annually. As Outstanding Rockingham County volunteers, Mr. Majerick and Mr. Smith both donated hundreds of volunteer hours and repaired the facility daily to create safe pockets of camp allowing the children to return to field trips and summer camp." The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners would like to honor a deserving County volunteer each month for using talents and compassion to make a difference.

The Box Score: Interstate 785 is a Grand Slam! Diane R. Sawyer, President & CEO Reidsville Chamber of Commerce

At Team Reidsville, we love to compare our community to a sports team. This is a City of Champions and we are extremely proud of that fact. We don't ever shy away from stating the facts that allow us to call ourselves champions. As always, Team Reidsville is ready to celebrate our successes. We think it is a perfect time to check "the box score" regarding Interstate 785. Interstate 785 History & Present Designation was approved in 1997. The section of the corridor along US 29 between the then-Future Greensboro Northern Urban Loop and Business Interstate 40 presented significant financial and physical challenges to the actual construction of Interstate 785 (I-785). On July 31, 2013, NCDOT received approval from the Federal Highway Administration to co-sign the first section of I785 with the Greensboro Urban Loop Interstate 840 to officially establish I- 785 in North Carolina which opened to traffic more than a year earlier than scheduled on December 6, 2017. I-785 currently connects the City of Reidsville to Interstates 40 and 85 and will soon connect the City of Reidsville to Interstate 840- Greensboro Urban Loop, PTI Airport, and Interstate 73. Interstate 840 is scheduled to be completed by December 2020. Team Reidsville with Senator Berger led the way by advocating this project be extended to the City of Reidsville's northern most interchange of Exit 153 (I- 785/US 29 & US 158) of its four total interchanges with, of course, not only the City of Reidsville, but also the involvement of NCDOT, City of Eden, Rockingham County, Caswell County, City of Greensboro, Guilford County, and PTRC. Future Extension of I-785 is scheduled to be extended to the state line connecting the City of Danville to Reidsville. • June 16, 2020 - Funded & scheduled for construction of US 29/Reedy Fork Parkway Interchange Improvements to interstate standards and for US 29/Reedy Fork Parkway Bridge Replacement to interstate standards. • September 18, 2020 - Funded & scheduled for construction of US 29/US Business 29 Bridge Replacement to interstate standards. • January 1, 2022 - Funded & scheduled for construction of US 29/US 158(NC 14) Bridge Replacement to interstate standards. • January 1, 2022 - Funded & scheduled for construction of US 29/Barnes Street Bridge

Replacement to interstate standards. • August 18, 2026 - Funded & scheduled for construction of current US 29 route from I-785 & Future Interstate 840/US 29 Interchange to US 29/US 158(NC 14). Funded & scheduled for construction for US 29/NC 150 Interchange Improvements and for construction for US 29/Benaja Road Interchange Improvements to interstate standards. Senator Phil Berger said, "The I-785 project is vital to the economic future of Reidsville, Rockingham County, and the surrounding area. It will give folks in our region easier and quicker access to more employment opportunities, better access to health care, and more cultural and entertainment options. At the same time, it will enable people from the Greater Triad and beyond to come to our communities to enjoy everything we have to offer, which will help grow our local economies. It has been a pleasure to work together with the leadership in Reidsville and Rockingham County to see this important project become a reality." Representative Jerry Carter noted, "The NC General Assembly has traditionally had a long-term vision in terms of our state's highway infrastructure. My colleagues and I share that same approach today, understanding that an expanded transportation network directly impacts new jobs and investment in North Carolina. It is even more important in rural communities to have seamless connectivity to neighboring metro areas that allow cities like Reidsville to grow. Reidsville is already strong economically and you can see it growing just by driving down the streets revealing new construction and renovations, but Interstate 785 will only make it even stronger and increase growth along with that growth having a multiplier effect throughout the community." NCDOT Board of Transportation Chairman Mike Fox said, "The improvement of US Highway 29 to Interstate status in Rockingham County, and northern Guilford County will have a very positive impact on the area. This includes economic benefits such as making the area more desirable for businesses to locate as well as improvements to the life of all citizens. This improved highway will allow the citizens of Rockingham County, and northern Guilford County, better access to jobs, education and healthcare." Mayor Jay Donecker said, "Interstate 785 will be a large part of Reidsville's future success in attracting industry,

commercial business and full-time residents. Many of our citizens probably don't realize how important it is to have a 'blue shield' highway passing through our city. I want our residents to understand what this project will contribute to Reidsville's short- and long-term sustainability and growth. I also want to stress that the City of Reidsville is one hundred percent behind this and other road improvements that will enhance our connectivity to other major highways/metro regions of the State and East Coast along with increasing our visibility to businesses and potential residents. The Reidsville City Council has always taken action based upon the long-term vision and is a "Can Do City". City Council and staff will continue to advocate for projects such as 785 on behalf of our growing population of city residents. There is always room for one more on Team Reidsville!" Reidsville Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka, who stated that Reidsville's industrial, commercial, and residential development sites are PTI Airport development sites just like those in Greensboro. It means now that we no longer

OCTOBER 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 17 H think in terms of Reidsville's southern City Limits being approximately 5.5 miles from Greensboro's northern City limits, but rather Reidsville is minutes away from PTI Airport/Greensboro via a brand new 70 mph Interstate route." Reidsville Chamber of Commerce President Diane Sawyer said, "The Reidsville Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center is extremely pleased about the forum and announcement that I-785 is in fact, fully funded. This project and others discussed will impact our area and our businesses tremendously. Our goal is to continue to be Champions through our community for our member businesses and keep them informed and connected to progress in the Reidsville Market so that they and others

looking in our area can make informed decisions about their businesses." Reidsville Industrial Alliance Chairman Steve Scott noted, "The Reidsville Industrial Alliance has been an active participant in the ongoing discussions and planning for this project for some time and we are thankful for the efforts of all the panelists and their teams for making this happen. It is terrific that a "Blue Shield" interstate will be attached to our City of Reidsville. Infrastructure is the absolute foundation upon which any thriving industrial community is built. The City of Reidsville absolutely recognizes this fact and the RIA is appreciative of the City's leadership as they continue to pursue upgrades

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.

Reidsville Kiwanis hosts Dr. Taylor

Reidsville Chiropractor, Dr. Matt Taylor presented a program on acupuncture which he is licensed to practice as a means to help eliminate pain in various parts of the body. There have been many studies and scientific research of this traditional Chinese medicine in America and now used across the country. Dr. Taylor said that acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this simulation boosts the body's natural painkillers. Single-use, disposable needles are now the practice standard, so the risk of infection is minimal. Dr. Taylor said that he uses approximately 18 needles in his treatments and there is very little discomfort. The needles remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes while you lie still and relax. He pointed out that not everyone is a good candidate for acupuncture if you have a bleeding disorder, have a pacemaker, or pregnant.

Reidsville Chiropractor, Dr. Matt Taylor speaking to the Reidsville Kiwanis Club.

It is important to find the right practitioner so you should ask people you trust for recommendations, check the practitioner's training and credentials, interview the practitioner, asking what is involved in the treatment, how likely it is to help you and how much it will cost. Find out whether your insurance covers the treatment. The Kiwanis Club meets every Thursday, 12 noon at the Golden Corral on Freeway Drive.

Lucky City Brewing Chamber Member of the Month

They have been a member of the Chamber since their inception, volunteered to help us at numerous events, participated in the showcase, and are also Gold Chamber Champions, even before construction of their building has begun! Lucky City Brewing was started in June of 2016 when a small group of 50 people met in a vacant building in downtown Reidsville. By September of 2016 they had incorporated and had almost 100 people on board with the project. October of 2016 saw them obtain their permanent location on Gilmer St. They have spent the last 3 years raising money and recruiting more member owners. They are in the final stages of fund raising and will see construction start soon. Lucky City is something that is good for Reidsville and is going to help make the continued revitalization of downtown a huge success. They are doing 50 members in 50 days campaign starting this Friday and carrying them through to the Downtown Jubilee on Saturday October 19th. This will help them meet their $10,000 goal to begin construction. We appreciate what they are doing for Reidsville, for downtown, the Chamber and they are going to make great neighbors!

Reidsville celebrated 35 years as a Main Street Community on September 18, 2019. The Main Street Program is a National Trust for Historic Preservation initiative created to revitalize downtown districts by combining historic preservation, downtown design, promotional events, business recruitment, and community involvement. North Carolina joined the Main Street program in 1980, and Reidsville was the 13th designated NCMS community in 1984. Today more than 80 cities and towns are part of North Carolina Main Street. In FY 18-19 alone, these communities reported more than $261 million in public and private investment in downtowns, 303 net new businesses, and more than 1,700 net new full and part time jobs. In the last fiscal year, Reidsville’s downtown reported more than $120,000 in public and private improvements, six net new businesses, and a net gain of 13 full-time jobs. “Downtown is such a big part of Reidsville’s overall economic development strategy,” said Reidsville’s Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka. “A thriving downtown is the ‘front door’ of our community, and we consistently hear comments from residents and visitors about how beautiful the streetscape is and how they enjoy the offerings of our downtown businesses. Being a part of the Main Street program allows Reidsville access to numerous resources, including strategic planning, grants and connectivity to a nationwide network of other Main Street communities.” Missy Matthews is Reidsville’s Main Street Manager, and The Reidsville Downtown Corporation serves as the advisory group for the city’s Main Street participation. The RDC organizes and implements downtown events such as Second DownTown Fridays, the Christmas Tree Lighting, and the Fall Jubilee. In 2018-19, this group of dedicated volunteers gave more than 1,100 hours of service, valued at more than $26,000. The RDC celebrated by kicking off with an 80s themed Second DownTown Friday on September 13 with music at Mural Park and birthday cupcakes! “Back to the Future” was shown at Market Square The celebration continued with 35 days of social media posts celebrating Reidsville’s downtown area.

in this arena. Having I-785 and a full-scale truck stop/travel center in the heart of our community solidifies Reidsville as a hub for manufacturing and distribution. Our industrial sector will continue to prosper as new corporate growth follows the success we have seen in the last 18-24 months in our community. Congratulations to all who helped make this project a reality." The Reidsville Chamber of Commerce wants our community to know what is happening in Reidsville. The box score is in, and it is obvious that Team Reidsville is continuing to create a "Championship Legacy". This is just a snapshot of the community's successes and growth associated with what will

be the first Interstate that will connect our entire City and a significant portion of the County with three other Interstates (40/85/840 & 73 via 840), PTI, and Greensboro. This means bringing even more economic development projects to the already prosperous Reidsville residential, commercial, and industrial development growth corridor. Team Reidsville is already leading the way on for the City of Reidsville and the Reidsville Market. We encourage you to stop by the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center to learn more about the many victories we are celebrating. Team Reidsville always has room for one more on our Team!

City ranked in top 10 for second year in a row

For the second year in a row, SmartAsset has named the City of Reidsville one of the top 10 best social scenes for seniors in North Carolina. SmartAsset, a financial technology company, offers personal finance advice on the web. The company looked at a variety of factors and ranked the top 10 cities in North Carolina with the most recreational and social opportunities for retirees. Hendersonville came in first again, but Reidsville ranked ninth, sandwiched between Black Mountain and Mount Airy, North Carolina. Other cities in the top 10 include Brevard, Southern Pines, Hickory, Pinehurst, Williamston and Marion. “We are thrilled to be recognized by SmartAsset for the second year in a row,” said Mayor Jay Donecker. “As a Certified Retirement Community by the State of North Carolina, we believe we have a lot to offer active seniors, especially with our state-of-theart senior center, RCARE. With amenities like Lake Reidsville and our network of walking trails and parks, combined with a vibrant downtown and proximity to urban areas, Reidsville is ideal not only for retirees but also for all ages.”

RCARE

All Events are Free and open to the public unless otherwise listed. (RCARE) - Reidsville Center for Active Retirement is located at 102 N. Washington Avenue, Reidsville. Hours: Mon. & Thur. 8:30 -8:00pm / Tues., Wed. & Fri. 8:30-5pm, 2019. Anyone 55 or over may participate. 336349-1088.

Reidsville Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka agrees. “Reidsville has experienced a housing boom over the past few years, which has resulted in significant population growth compared to many other rural cities,” Garstka said. “We expect this trend to continue across all demographics, including active older adults.” SmartAsset reportedly gathered data on three separate regional factors that affect the quality of life for retirees. First, it looked at state and local tax rates, considering both income and sales tax. Based on a typical retiree earning $35,000 annually either from retirement savings, social security or part-time employment and spending their disposable income on taxable goods, the company calculated effective rates. Secondly, SmartAsset determined the number of doctors’ offices, recreation center and retirement centers per 1,000 residents in each area. Finally, they found the number of seniors in each area as a percentage of the total population. Each county and city was ranked on these three factors. An average ranking was calculated, weighting the three factors equally. Those areas with the lowest average ranking were determined to be the best place to retire. City Marketer Judy Yarbrough explains that Reidsville has been a part of the Retire NC Program for three

years and is one of 18 cities in the State in the program. To be designated, cities have to go through an intensive application process where they are vetted to ensure they all have the qualities a retiree is seeking in a city to relocate, she said. “Small cities are making a huge comeback and most of the people relocating here are coming from areas where the population and taxes are very high, and the cost of living is higher, Yarbrough said. “Reidsville offers lower taxes, a great quality of life where you know your neighbor if you choose, and you can be in a metro in 20 minutes.” Yarbrough added that the City launched its Reside in Reidsville, a new resident program, in 2018. Welcoming events are held a couple of times a year, and new residents are invited to come out and meet City staff, their local City Council members and many community partners and businesses, she noted. “It’s a great way for people to connect to their new community, get to know other new residents and get plugged into volunteer opportunities,” Yarbrough stressed. “Since launching the program, we have had over 100 families relocate to Reidsville. We can see they are made up of retirees and families with children. We have had people relocate from Ohio, California, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and more.”

Western Rockingham Treasures

Troublesome Iron Works

By Therese Francin

Going down a quiet rural country road in Rockingham County, I was enjoying the sunny Carolina Blue cloudless sky. I came upon an intersection that I was not familiar with, SR 2422 (Monroeton Road). I drove on to US 158 and stopped on the side of the road. I wanted to take the time to read the Highway Historical Marker. Discovering a new sign in this open area made me curious about the significance and the history of what had happened in the past that was noteworthy enough to be marked as a historical location. There was something about this site that evoked an emotional response that sparked my curiosity. The sign told me it was a site used as an encampment for troops during the Revolutionary War. I wanted to know more. Troublesome Creek Ironworks was originally established as Speedwell Furnace in 1770, by Joseph Buffington, a Quaker ironmaster from Pennsylvania. Interestingly, Buffington used a lottery to raise capital for the purchase, and constructed a rock dam on the creek for waterpower in 1772. The iron ore mined there contained too high a concentration of titanium dioxide to produce high-quality iron. By the time of the American Revolution the furnace was in disrepair. The site, however, was to become a site for temporary encampment and rendezvous for both the British and American (Whig) armies. The site played a significant role in the Revolutionary War. Both before and after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781, British and Whig troops

Francin camped at the site. In February of that same year, General Nathanael Greene led his Patriot troops over the Dan River into Virginia as Cornwallis’ forces returned to North Carolina and camped at various locations, including the Speedwell Furnace. George Washington retraced General Greene’s retreat from Guilford Courthouse during his southern tour in 1791, where Whig forces had camped, pursuing Cornwallis to Ramsey’s Mill. After the Revolutionary War, three Whig veterans purchased the ironworks, and in 1782 established a grist and flour mill at the site. In 1791 George Washington visited the works at Troublesome Creek. After 1806 James Patrick, a miller, purchased the property. In 1810 he had two of the three mills in the county producing first quality flour. The Ironworks continued to operate under various owners through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1968 James McClamroch purchased the site and accomplished his dream of preserving the property. McClamroch eventually donated the property to the Rockingham Historical Society. Rich with the history of the Revolutionary War and the rise of industries in Rockingham County, this peaceful place brings back memories of significant historical events. The area played a pivotal role in the formation of the United States, the State of North Carolina, and Rockingham County. It was nice to learn of and remember the striking historical significance of this peaceful place during a quiet drive meandering through the county.

For the Fun of it...

. -Velcro - what a rip off! -A teacher asked her students to use the word "beans" in a sentence. "My father grows beans," said one girl. "My mother cooks beans," said a boy. A third student spoke up, "We are all human beans." -Instead of "the John," I call my toilet "the Jim." That way it sounds better when I say I go to the Jim first thing every morning. -A husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. As they approached Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth, then they stopped for lunch. At the counter, the husband asked the blonde waitress, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are very slowly?" She leaned over the counter and said, "Burrr-gerrr Kiiing." -Nurse: "The invisible man is here for his appointment." Doctor: "Tell him I'm sorry I can't see him right now." -A man was walking down the street and saw a sign in a store window that said "Help Wanted," so the man ran in the store and yelled out, "What's wrong?!" -"Johnny, why did you kick your brother in the stomach?" exclaimed the angry mother. “It was pure accident, Mama. He turned around.” -Sign seen on a farmers fence – “Don’t cross this field unless you can run it in 9.9 seconds. Our bull can do it in 10 flat!” -A man got hit in the head with a can of Coke, but he was alright because it was a soft drink. If you ever get cold, just stand in the corner of a room for a while. They're normally around 90 degrees -A woman walks into a library and asked if they had any books about paranoia. The librarian says "They're right behind you!" -The other day, my wife asked me to pass her lipstick but I accidentally passed her a glue stick. She still isn't talking to me. -When you look really closely, all mirrors look like eyeballs. -My wife told me I had to stop acting like a flamingo. So I had to put my foot down. -Why did the old man fall in the well? Because he couldn't see that well. -I ate a clock yesterday, it was very time consuming. -I know a lot of jokes about unemployed people but none of them work. -Why couldn't the bicycle stand up? Because it was two tired! -Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet. -My wife accused me of being immature. I told her to get out of my fort. -As I suspected, someone has been adding soil to my garden. The plot thickens. -What did the traffic light say to the car? Don’t look! I’m about to change. -I just wrote a book on reverse psychology. Do *not* read it! -What did one hat say to the other? You stay here. I’ll go on ahead. -A fellow jumped off a high wall, And had a most terrible fall. He went back to bed, With a bump on his head, That's why you don't jump off a wall. -Limericks I cannot compose, With noxious smells in my nose. But this one was easy, I only felt queasy, Because I was sniffing my toes. -A canner, exceedingly canny, One morning remarked to his granny. A canner can can, Anything that he can, But a canner can't can a can, can he?. -There was a young woman named Bright, Whose speed was much faster than light. She set out one day, In a relative way, And returned on the previous night. -There once was a man from Tibet, Who couldn't find a cigarette. So he smoked all his socks, and got chicken-pocks, and had to go to the vet. -My neighbor came over to say, Although not in a neighborly way, That he'd knock me around, If I didn't stop the sound, Of the classical music I play. -A newspaper man named Fling, Could make "copy" from any old thing. But the copy he wrote, Of a five dollar note, Was so good he is now wears so much bling.

I need a front door for my hall, The replacement I bought was too tall. So I hacked it and chopped it, And carefully lopped it, And now the dumb thing is too small. .

I know an old owl named Boo, Every night he yelled Hoo, Once a kid walked by, And started to cry, And yelled I don't have a clue!

One Saturday morning at three, A cheese monger's shop in Paree. Collapsed to the ground, With a thunderous sound, Leaving only a pile of de brie.

UNC Rockingham Health Care Now Offering 3D Mammograms at the Wright Imaging Center, A Service of UNC Rockingham Hospital Breast imaging services at UNC Rockingham Health Care now include 3D mammograms, a screening that delivers a more in depth look at breast tissue. The more detailed 3D image reduces the likelihood of additional screenings or follow-up visits. It also enables physicians to find cancers at an earlier stage. For those who have dense breast tissue, a 3D mammogram offers a clearer image.

Screening mammograms are recommended for women beginning at age 40, unless otherwise advised by your physician. During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, hours will be extended to 7 p.m. every Monday. Patients getting a mammogram during Breast Cancer Awareness Month will receive a free gift. To make an appointment, call Central Scheduling at 336627-6183. UNC Rockingham Wright Imaging Center, A Service of UNC Rockingham Hospital is at 618 South Pierce Street, Eden. 3D Mammography at UNC Rockingham is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

In an article she wrote in 1930, Eleanor Roosevelt concluded that good citizenship is the purpose of education. Eighty-nine years later, it is still the primary reason we send our children to school. Certainly, the classroom is also where kids learn the skills they need—eventually--to get good jobs. But, it is also where children learn how to be industrious and conscientious citizens—a lesson that would be hard to learn without a knowledge of the successes and failures of past. America’s dire need for a history lesson has been revealed in numerous studies. Most recently, The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation reported that Americans don’t possess the history knowledge they need to be informed and engaged citizens.” The Foundation had 41,000 Americans from every state take the U.S. Citizenship Test; Vermont was the only place where a majority of those who were tested -- 53 percent -passed. It’s not a question of whether history teachers are doing their job, or if history is being taught in the schools. “This is an issue of how we teach American history,” according to Foundation President, Arthur Levine. The problem is the way in which it’s taught is “boring.” The late Dr. Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National

Endowment for the Humanities, recognized early on that the source of the nation’s history “deficit” wasfrom boredom. There’s nothing like a pageturner to help tap the innate desire in each of us to learn about the past, and Dr. Cole realized that. Children in particular are curious and interested in how they got here, and what it means to be an American. But often their textbooks fail to catch their attention. He felt the solution was to show just how exciting the subject could be. He believed “history could use the help of a ‘good read’ to generate enthusiasm among young people.” Dr. Cole came up with the notion for the Grateful American Book Prize, and along with author, publisher and education advocate, David Bruce Smith, implemented the project in 2015. According to Smith, “our focus was on getting writers and publishers to produce more works of historically accurate fiction and nonfiction; books that could

capture the imaginations of kids and adolescents. And, based on the growing popularity of the Prize, it has worked.” Valerie Tripp writes historical fiction for children. In a blog at the Teachinghistory.com Web site she wrote, some years ago: “Historical fiction helps us fire up our students and readers because it uses emotion to make the facts matter. It uses emotion to teach gentle life lessons, and to form a ribbon of connection between the child in the classroom and the characters in the story.” About the Grateful American Book Prize: The winners of the 2019 Grateful American Book Prize and Honorable Mentions will be announced shortly. Meanwhile, the panel of judges for the 2020 Prize will begin accepting submissions on January 1, 2020. Historically accurate books of fiction and nonfiction written for middle schoolers and published between August 1, 2019 and July 31, 2020 will be eligible.

ECONOMIC & TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

OCTOBER 2019 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 25 H

From the Desks of Eden City Hall

Southern Virginia Mega Site at Berry Hill An August 23, 2019 Danville Register & Bee article stated that Danville would run water and sewer utilities to the Mega Park. This referred to infrastructure running to the park from the VA state line—where Eden will send the water supply- and within the park only. They are not taking this over from Eden. The article clearly confirmed that Eden will provide most of the water and all of the sewer for the park. Eden was never involved in what our Virginia neighbors did with the water once it arrived at the VA state line. Work has begun on the water line which will be completed within a year.

Fieldcrest Road Building This building used to house Liberty Textiles. 48,000 SF of clean space has been vacated and will now be marketed for a user. This is a very attractive space that should be enticing to manufacturers. Besides MillerCoors, this is the only available space for industrial users in Eden at this time. The rest of the buildings are in use.

NCDOT The NC Board of Transportation voted last week to include the extension of I-785 from Hicone Road in Guilford County to exit #153 (Eden. Reidsville, Yanceyville) in the 2020-2029 State Transp. Improvement Plan. The project is to be completed by 2027. This will benefit Eden because instead of being 36 miles from an interstate highway, the city will now be 11. Transportation costs are very important to many industrial projects. City and County Representatives have lobbied to expedite the completion of this project, but it remains in the current timetable.

Self-Help Credit Union Self-Help Credit Union specializes in Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans. The local representative is working with Eden businesses on how to access these SBA loans. This is part of Eden’s entrepreneurship initiative run through the Economic Development Department and Rockingham Community College Small Business Center.

Kotis Properties This company owns Kingsway Plaza. They will be making considerable investment in the shopping center over the next several weeks as part of the Planet Fitness facility accommodation.

Planet Fitness Opening soon for everyone to enjoy their new equuipment and excercise features. This facility is located in Kingsway Plaza. Watch for great deals! Lidl

The City is working with the company on finding a user for this building. One established business has shown interest in the facility, but much remains to determine if this will work to their mutual benefit. On September 6th WDBJ TV of Roanoke, VA broadcast that Lidl will not build on two sites in Roanoke County, and one each in Salem and Christiansburg, VA. Salem and Christiansburg have populations of 25,000 and 22,000 respectively. This further reinforces the theory that Lidl hasn’t been able to thrive in smaller towns and is pursuing larger metropolitan areas in the northeast and southeastern U.S. That is why they decided not to pursue the Eden site and they closed stores in Kinston and Rockingham earlier this year.

Duke Energy Foundation Grant The City submitted a grant application for an otter habitat along the Smith River with the generous assistance of the Dan River Basin Association Executive Director Tiffany Haworth. This would be the only one of its kind in the U.S. The City will learn in a few weeks if the $9,999 proposed grant was awarded.

Triad Business Journal A special feature was completed on Rockingham County by the Business Journal for its August 22nd edition. It focused on road, trail and downtown improvements in the County leading to expectations of future growth. Eden’s trail development and downtown revitalization were covered extensively.

Washington Street Plans are moving forward with construction of 618 and 624 Washington Street to become apartments, a coffee shop and restaurant. The developer will rename the Central Hotel for John B. Ray, a former owner and prominent citizen. Progress continues for construction of restaurant and retail spaces at 727 Washington Street. Interior concrete has been poured to cover newly installed plumbing. Fire walls are being installed and exhaust outlets hung. A new business is coming to 616 Washington Street. The current owners of The Shiloh Shop plan to open The Workshop

Eden Downtown Development Inc. Thirteen hydrants have been completed, one in process and more designs to be approved. If you would like to participate contact Randy Hunt at rhunt@edennc.us. MONROE STREET

Sophisticated Rubbish, 633 Monroe Street, a retail establishment reminiscent of an old country store with furniture. Extensive cosmetic work has taken place and façade work has been completed. It will also include a salon space.

The former Duke Power building at 627 Monroe Street is now for sale. The property has stood empty for years, but was never available for purchase.

Mural for Monroe Street A building owner has met with a muralist to determine the scope of work for a project for 600 Monroe Street. There are materials readily available. When mock ups are complete the Eden Downtown Development Inc. Design Subcommittee will be contacted.

Revisited Vintage - A new reclaimed furniture store will occupy 600B Monroe Street. The Owner will open the business, Revisited Vintage, in the next several weeks.

Draper The property owner at 115 N. Fieldcrest Road has requested a bench and trash can be placed at this location. The property holds storage units and was a former car wash. A SCAT Bus stop has been designated there for some time. A trash can will be moved to the location and added to the route.

The Draper Municipal Service District members met September 5th voting to purchase two metal benches to be placed on Fieldcrest Road. They are also researching the possibility a bus stop shelter.

A group of Draper residents organized a community yard sale in September and will hold another in October 12th. Proceeds are to be used for a Draper building beautification effort. The sale was coordinated through local property owners and the Methodist church.

However, a minimum of 400 Eden City residents must sign up prior to October 31, 2019 directly with Foothill Waste Solutions before the curbside recycling option can be offered. This will be a contract between the citizen receiving the service and Foothill Waste Solutions. Curbside recycling cannot be offered by Foothill if less than 400 Eden citizens subscribe to the curbside recycling service. Subscribers will be charged $9.50 per month and you will be billed quarterly. This fee has been established by Foothill and the City of Eden will not be receiving any payments from Foothill for the services they are providing. Glass will not be collected by Foothill. To subscribe to this service or to learn more about it, call Foothill Waste Solutions at (336) 871-4055. Again, if you want to subscribe to recycling curbside service at your location, please call (336) 871-4055 to sign-up. PARKS & RECREATION

days later Josh did enjoy decorating his little pumpkin. We refer to this childhood story as "The Biggest Pumpkin" story. How often do we find ourselves with a three year old's attitude of wanting the biggest or the best? How often do we miss out on something good because we want something better? I know I have in life, but I'm then reminded that I could be without. As we enter this season let's remember to be grateful for the blessings we do have; don't look for something bigger and better. Instead of tapping into the stubborn three year old, let's tap into the fun childlike side and enjoy the Fall and all it has to offer! Rake up a pile of leaves and jump in them with your kids/ grandkids. Go on a hay ride with your loved one. Take a walk on the trails and use your senses to take in everything around you. Be a kid again and hold a Halloween party with costumes, ghoolish refreshments, and decorations. Whatever you do, don't spend this season with "The Biggest Pumpkin" attitude. Have an attitude of joy, laughter, and thankfulness. Happy Fall to you all! Natalie Schwartz my2son9498@gmail.com

Piedmont Folk Legacies PICK Program for Kids established by Louise price

Piedmont Folk Legacies, the sponsoring organization of the Charlie Poole Music Festival, is excited to announce the establishment of the PICK Program – Piedmont Instrument Classes for Kids. PICK is an after school program that will provide instruction in banjo, fiddle and guitar for third, fourth and fifth grade students. This program is being made possible by a community effort. Piedmont Folk Legacies is grateful to the Rockingham County Education Foundation and the Rockingham County Arts Council for acting as liasons with Leaksville-Spray Elementary School, where the program will be initiated. Major funding for the PICK Program is being provided by generous grants from the Reidsville Area Foundation and HomeTrust Bank. Additional funding was provided by Philip and Louise Price, Billy and Vivian Phillips,

and Moore Music Company of Greensboro. Funding will be sought in the future so that PICK can be expanded to the remaining communities of Rockingham County. Lead instructor for PICK will be Dr. Christen Blanton. Dr. Blanton is the director of the UNCG Old-Time Ensemble, and the Program Coordinator of the Lillian Rauch Beginning Strings Program. She holds degrees from the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam (BM, music education) and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (MM, viola performance & PhD, music education). A prize-winning fiddler and ballad singer, Christen has combined her love of teaching music and fiddling through providing clinics and research to students and school music teachers, most notably at the American String Teachers

Association National Conference (2014, 2016, 2017), the North Carolina Music Educators Association State Conference (2014, 2016), the Southeast Honors Strings Festival (2010, 2014, 2015, 2017), the International Bluegrass Music Association Conference (2015), the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (2015), and the International Society for Music Education Conference (2016). Christen performs regularly with the old-time string band The Zinc Kings. The group has received top prizes at the Fiddler’s Grove Old-Time

Fiddlers and Bluegrass Festival, the Hoppin’ John Old-Time and Bluegrass Fiddler’s Convention, the Charlie Poole Music Festival, the Happy Valley Fiddlers Convention, and the Union Grove Fiddlers Convention. In addition, The Zinc Kings have been featured performers with the Beaufort County Traditional Music Association, WinstonSalem Fiddle and Bow Society, Triad Arts Up Close, North Carolina State University Summer Stock Theater, Raleigh Little Theatre and Bare Theatre, The Charlie Poole Music Festival, the Folk Alliance International Conference, and the North Carolina Folk Festival. Joining Dr. Blanton in teaching the initial PICK classes

will be Bret Hart, a painter, sculptor, composer and musician, and most importantly, beloved teacher, newly retired from Leaksville-Spray Elementary. The students at LSES will be delighted to have Mr. Hart back to teach them the fundamentals of traditional music and to help them connect with the special musical heritage of Rockingham County and the legacy of Charlie Poole. Piedmont Folk Legacies is thankful to all of the community partners who have joined together to make the PICK program a reality. We look forward to using traditional music to positively impact the lives of the children of Rockingham County, enhancing their learning experience and continuing our rich cultural traditions for generations to come.

Pickin' at the MARC Fiddlers Convention set for November The 5th Annual Pickin’ at the MARC Bluegrass and Old Time Fiddlers convention will be held Saturday, November 9, at the Museum and Archives of Rockingham County. Registration will begin at noon and continue throughout the day. Online pre-registration is available at www.themarconline.org/pickin-at-the-marc. With more than $2500 in prizes offered, competitions will be held in both youth and adult categories. Youth competition includes instrumental, vocal, and flat foot dance categories. Adult competitions include bluegrass banjo, bluegrass fiddle, old time banjo, old time fiddle, mandolin, guitar, vocal, and flat foot dance. An open category will include instruments that may not have enough entrants to make a category. Awards are also offered for the bluegrass band and old time band competition winners. We encourage musicians to participate in this opportunity to perform, jam, and share the love of music, especially young musicians whose interest will continue these music traditions into the future. Featured performances will be provided by two well-known bands. The Slate Mountain Ramblers is a family old time band formerly from Ararat, VA

and now from Mt. Airy, NC. Richard and Barbara Bowman and their daughter, Marsha Bowman Todd, have won numerous individual and group awards since they joined together as the Slate Mountain Ramblers 27 years ago. Randy Hiatt adds vocal and guitar talent to the group. The performance by the Jeff Little Trio offers the unusual opportunity to experience piano as a band’s lead instrument. Jeff Little’s distinctive twohanded keyboard style, influenced by the mountain flatpicked guitar tradition, is breathtaking in its speed, precision, and clarity. In 2014 Little was inducted into the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame. He will be joined on the MARC stage by award winning guitar and banjo player Steve Lewis and Jeff’s son, Scott Little, playing mandolin. Scott is a

Imagine a day without water By: Melinda Ward, Wastewater Superintendent

On October 23rd, the US Water Alliance will again be trying to spread a national message about the importance of water and its impact on society through the Value of Water Campaign. On Imagine a Day Without Water, we ask the question: what would your day be like if you turned on the tap, or flushed the toilet, and nothing happened? Most Americans agree that they never consider where it comes from. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always there when they need it, and they never give it a second thought. Most donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize that, in many cases, it has to be purified at a treatment facility like the one we operate on Mebane Bridge Road in the City and then cleaned again after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done with it and before it goes back to the river. We take pride in the product that we deliver daily to your homes and the way that we then clean up the dirty water that you send back to us so that its cleaner than what is in the river. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen though. We have certified operators working around the clock, 24/7 to monitor the entire process and keep the water consistently clean for your use. They take their responsibilities seriously since they also use the water that is being produced. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe for their families, then it will definitely be safe for yours. Even at our wastewater plant, we take pride in going above and beyond our requirements to treat the water so that the river is protected against pollution. Many of us travel to Danville, Virginia to shop and eat. Their water comes from the Dan River and is partially made up of our discharge. If we mess up our discharge, it affects their water treatment process. We all work together because water is interconnected in so many ways. The government always makes sure that we meet strict guidelines daily for both drinking water and wastewater. There are even rules to help further protect our plants and water sources so that we can continue to provide safe drinking water,

even in perilous times. The Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Infrastructure Act was signed into law on October 23, 2018 and requires utilities serving over 3,300 people to certify that they have completed a Risk and Resilience Assessment followed by an Emergency Response Plan to address the assessment findings and make plans and procedures associated with the potential hazards. After September 11, 2001, most facilities conducted a vulnerability study to see how secure their plants and pump stations were so that they could better protect the public water sup-

ply from terrorist attacks or just general vandalism that could hinder production. This new law requires communities to take a fresh look at their facilities as well as reevaluate their asset management plans to make sure they have what they need to keep the systems running, standard operating procedures so that everyone is consistent with operations, source water protection plans to protect the water upstream from getting contaminated, as well as other different areas to be as prepared as possible. We have seen little evidence of problems over the years, but little things such as cyberattacks on a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer can completely shut down a system if they are not prepared with con-

Now is the time...

tingency plans. There is a tag line for the American Water Works Association that states â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Water, No Beerâ&#x20AC;? as a way to emphasize how everyday things truly rely on water to exist. Most everything relies on water either for cleaning material or equipment at the beginning of the process or as an essential part of its makeup. Consider your favorite beverage and how it would be affected if there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough clean water to help in its production. Do you ever play in the rivers or fish? If they were polluted, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be safe to even be around the water. We can all do a small part in protecting the rivers and streams around us by thinking about how simple acts could benefit them. We can also do small steps to

help conserve our drinking water or protect our wastewater system from having overflows. In the lobby of City hall, there will be a display showing how well disposable products break down (or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break down). We see a lot of trash flushed down toilets that should never be there. This trash builds up in pipes and can cause overflows that spill untreated sewage onto the ground or even into the nearby streams. This should never happen, but as long as people treat the toilet like a trash can, we will continue to have problems. All we can do to stop it is to educate the public about the problems. You can help us by spreading the word. The first step is knowledge.
