The Lord’s Pantry feeds an average of 285 people each week and is completely supported by Church and Community donations. As one of Rockingham County’s largest food pantries, this ministry has assisted literally thousands of needy homes for many years. Its founder Gyp Collins, a former county magistrate began this ministry to assist men and women who were struggling financially as he saw the daily struggle in the hearts and homes of Rockingham County Residents.

and rising costs the Pantry knew that in order to maintain its service to the residents of Rockingham County changes and reorganization was very much needed. Through all of this process Mr. Collins who is now, 88 years old felt that it was time to retire. Although his heart for the needs of others and his passion for feeding the hungry is very strong, his body and mind has grown weary. Mr. Collins has been assisted for these years of service by a serving Executive

The pantry is closed, but only temporarily as they are moving to their new location at 503 Morgan Road, Eden. There are some immediate needs of light construction, painting, building shelves, and all kinds of volunteers needed. The space is much smaller, but due to the current financial state of the Pantry they are having to scale down in order to provide the food to needy families.

Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality Of Life

“Gyp” Collins and Torrey Easler Board that have also sacrificed their time, energy, and assets for God to use in this ministry. Mr. Nelson Hairston, 85, Jack Strutton, 83, and Craig Dishmon, 50. Due to either their age or present circumstances these men also felt that it was time to step down from their hands on Management responsibilities at The Lord’s Pantry. “We didn’t want to see the Pantry close, and we didn’t want to step down, but we knew that the Pantry needed younger leadership to continue on if this ministry is going to last”, said Mr. Hairston. Torrey Easler, Pastor of Pleasant View Baptist Church, was the newest member of the Executive Board and in the prime of his ministry. During an interview recently Easler said; “I became involved with The Lord’s Pantry because of the immense need that I see each week with those within our church as well as all of the calls we receive from hurting people in need. Our Church began supporting The Lord’s Pantry several years ago on a regular basis and then we have hosted a benefit singing for them. Not long after that I was asked to join the Executive Board and so about a year and a half ago I consented to serve on the Board. During one of the last board meetings my heart was broken for the need of this ministry and I felt the Lord calling me to do whatever it took to keep this ministry going.” From that meeting Pastor Easler met with the leaders of his church and they committed to step in as transitional leaders to rescue the Pantry. “It is our plan to maintain this ministry as a community endeavor with all of our churches and businesses uniting for the sake of the needs of our county as well as for the glory of God”, said Easler. “We have already heard from several churches and pastors pledging their support and we are very excited to see God at work.”

agencies for those needs to be met. Food Distribution will be moved to Saturdays from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon beginning September 12th with a Grand Re-Opening planned at 9am. “This is to make the Pantry more accessible for those who work, but are still struggling to make ends meet and still need our help as well as a better day for volunteers to come and work”, said Easler. When asked how the community can help Pastor Easler responded that there are several ways in which immediate help is needed. “First, please pray! I believe in the power of prayer most of all. Second, we need support. If anyone has given previously please consider continuing your support and if you have thought about supporting a worthy community need, please consider giving to The Lord’s Pantry. I promise that every penny will go directly into the ministry and it will be spent wisely. Lastly, we need to restock our shelves. Every bit of food was given away before closing our doors on Bridge Street and we are starting all over again. If churches, businesses, and families would have a food drive for us that will go a long way in feeding those in need. We will be glad to come and get the food from you if you call the Pantry.” For further information or to volunteer please call The Lord’s Pantry at 336-580-2989. You can also visit our new website at www.thelordspantry.org. There is also a place on the website to donate. Let’s get behind this ministry and help feed those in need!

Born January 7th 1931, Mr. Harter was the youngest of four children, and the only boy. As a

favorite car of all time, a 1949 Chevy. Out of high school Kenny joined the National Guard where he served for 27 years.

He married his first wife Ann Hutson Harter and they had one son Kenneth “Wayne” Harter. Kenny’s son Wayne followed in his footsteps involving automobiles in his career as well. Wayne currently works at a large auto action in Florida. Kenney also served as a volunteer fire fighter for 23 years responding to many fires, selflessly giving of his time. Mr. Harter first stepped into the education field as the Industrial Education Center’s automotive instructor. The program was then maintained by the state of North Carolina offering classes on automotive repair. In 1965 Rockingham Community College took the program over and Mr. Harter continued to teach at the same location. It was not until 1968 that the Rockingham County School system took over the program and implemented it into the vocational program at Morehead High School. As a teacher Mr. Harter was known as a tough, concerned man who wanted the best of each student. Mr. Harter inspired many of his students to continue their careers in the automotive field. Many of his students went on to be auto business owners, mechanics and dealership salesmen. As a teacher Mr. Harter offered his experience and knowledge, as a man of morals he offered his students guidance, inspiration, and in friendship. Mr. Harter retired from Morehead High School after 30 years of service in March of 1990. He enjoyed 20 years of retirement where he worked on friends cars, rebuilt carburetors, alternators and starters. Kenneth remarried after his wife’s death to Mrs. Burnie Harter. Mr. Harter became an accomplished wood craftsman, building cabinets and various items. Mr. Harter passed away on February 22, 2010 leaving behind many friends, family members, co workers and students who loved him very much.

Letter to the Mayor Below is a letter written to Mayor Wayne Tuggle about how well Eden treated a stranded visitor. Dear Sir, On Friday, May 29, 2015, while returning from lunch at the Fishermens Galley with my 88year-old brother James Harold Barrow and his wife Violet, the mass airflow sensor on my car failed right in the middle of the intersection of E. Stadium Dr. in Pierce Street. While there is never a good time for this to happen – Friday afternoon in a rain shower, during heavy lunch hour traffic, 60 miles from home, this was probably the worst possible time. First, waiting at the same intersection was a City of Eden

truck whose driver realized my predicament and turned on his emergency flashers, pulled in behind me after I was able to roll my car to the side of the road, and called for a police officer. By then a police officer was there and took me to my brother Jim’s house, one half mile further East on Stadium Drive to get a car to take Jim, Violet and my wife to Jim’s house. Meanwhile, the officer had called David Price Auto Works, whose tow truck was already at the site, and towed my car to David’s garage where David immediately diagnosed the prob-

I was impressed to be able to relax and such a clean and comfortable area that will start with lots of interesting books, magazines and newspapers. Right at 5 o’clock David brought my keys and said I was good to go. On my way home just west of Winston-Salem in Louisville, NC, I was able to reflect on how fortunate I have been to have such competent, qualified, pleasant and professional help available from the City of Eden employee, the policeman, David Price, is Office Manager Victoria, and David’s shop personnel at the busiest possible time of the week. Accordingly, I wanted to share my appreciation with YOU in hopes you will pass it on to the city’s entire organization and congratulate the individuals involved on “being the very best that you possibly have been.” Sincerely, Dan Barrow

Dear Editor, This letter is to verify that I am NOT seeking public office for the City of Eden’s Council. I wanted to notify all of my family, friends, church family at OBC, and others, that I am not the Steve Smith running for city councilman in Ward 7. Although we both live on Ashby Street in the Draper section of Eden, the man running for this office is not Denise’s husband! I hope this clarifies things for all of our patriotic, Ward 7 voters! Please let me know if I can help you with anything. Thanks! Have a truly blessed day, Stephen L. Smith, LPO Manager, NMLS #35261, River Community Bank, N.A.

Voters over the age of 70: Any voter 70 years of age or older may use an expired photo ID, provided that it is one of the acceptable photo ID’s and that it expired at any time after the voter’s 70th birthday. If the photo ID was unexpired when the voter turned 70 years old, it will be acceptable for voting.

Sheriff attends 93rd Annual Training Conference Sheriff Sam Page of Rockingham County recently attended the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association’s 93rd Annual Training Conference held in Brunswick County, North Carolina with other sheriffs and law enforcement professionals from across the State. Sheriff Page is a Past President of the Association and serves as a member of the Association's Executive Committee, the governing board for the Association. Sheriff Page said, "Our Annual Training Conference allows North Carolina's sheriffs to discuss their experiences and learn from each other, as well as bring ourselves up-to-date on important law enforcement developments. North Carolina sheriffs have a complex role as constitutional officers leading law enforcement within their respective counties. Our duties often require that we be available to personnel and to the public continuously. My staff and I will use this knowledge to further serve and protect Rockingham County's citizens." "Sheriffs in every county of North Carolina are facing tremendous challenges in carrying out their responsibilities for law enforcement and the safety of our citizens; maintenance and operation of local jails; recruiting, training and maintaining talented personnel; working with domestic situations and child abuse cases; serving civil papers; tracking sex offenders; issuing weapons permits; providing court security and in many other areas," said Sheriff Page. Also in attendance were: – Attorney General Roy Cooper, NC Dept. of Justice – B.W. Collier, II, Director, NC State Bureau of Investigation – Judge Richard Dietz, NC Court of Appeals – Justice Sam J.

Q & A’s: More Options for Cholesterol Control

There’s more than one way to tackle the risk of high cholesterol. That’s a type of fat that can clog up your arteries and block blood flow. Check it out. Without being tested, though, you can’t be certain about your risk. Yes, you might be in good company being in the dark: For example, nearly half of Hispanics in the U.S. who have high blood pressure are unaware of it. But, no, ignorance is not bliss. If you haven’t had a recent cholesterol test, why not schedule one now? You can do it in honor of National Cholesterol Education Month. In the meantime, check out a few new findings about cholesterol control. Fitness pays off. You probably already know that eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol can raise your cholesterol. Likewise, being overweight can lower your levels of “good” (HDL) cholesterol. But did you know that being inactive could literally be the “kiss of death?” Exercise can lower risks of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and stress. Now, a long-term fitness study shows that fitness may delay normal age-related increases in cholesterol levels by up to 15 years! The study ran from 1970 to 2006 and included just over 11,400 men, aged 20 to 90. Although the study included only men, the researchers believe results would be similar for women. Drugs tough on LDL. There’s another new kid on the cholesterol-control block. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just approved alirocumab (Praluent)—the first in a new class of injected cholesterol-lowering drugs. The FDA approved Praluent for patients with heart disease and a history of heart attack or stroke and patients who have inherited a family condition causing high levels of “bad” (LDL) cholesterol. By the time you read this, the FDA may have approved another in this class— evolocumab (Repatha). These drugs work by blocking a protein in the liver that helps regulate LDL. They can cut levels of LDL by nearly 50 percent. Early short-term research shows they may also cut the risk of heart attack or death from heart disease in half. Longer clinical studies are needed to confirm the results of these early studies. Another big wild card? Cost! This class of drugs is expensive to make. It could cost each patient as much as $12,000 a year. Still, it’s encouraging to have options for people who don’t get the results they need with statins. If you already take cholesterol-lowering medications, be sure to take them exactly as your doctor directs. As you well know, I can be your go-to person for any questions you may have. 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.

Corcoran awarded scholarship to East Carolina University

Shaggin’ on Fieldcrest

Local Government Federal Credit Union (LGFCU) proudly congratulates Candice Corcoran, who is the recipient of an LGFCU Scholarship Award. Corcoran, will use the scholarship to study at East Carolina University and is one of 120 deserving high school seniors and post-secondary students that will have extra money to apply toward their education at the university, community or technical college of their choice. “This is the 17th consecutive year we have offered this scholarship,” said LGFCU President Maurice Smith. “It’s a real pleasure to reward these fine adults for not only getting topnotch grades, but also for finding the drive to take active roles in their communities. We applaud them and wish them luck in their studies and beyond.”

Couples enjoyed the third annual Shaggin’ on Fieldcrest where they took the dancing to the streets of the Draper section of Eden in late July. Jim Quick and Coast Line provided the music for the open air event, and with food and fun, the night was surely a success. The band has quite a following and several from out of the area came to enjoy the event. It was a great place to hang out with friends and meet new ones that also love to dance and be with the community. This City of Eden event provides fun for the citizens and shows others outside the city that we are offereing a great quality of life right here in Eden.

The LGFCU Scholarship Award recognizes a student’s high achievement in extracurricular activities, as well as academic excellence by their having maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or higher; financial need is also a consideration. For more information, or to apply, call 919.755.0534 or visit www.lgfcu.org. Local Government Federal Credit Union serves North Carolina’s local government employees, elected/appointed officials, volunteers and their families. The $1.5 billion federally chartered credit union is a cooperative of more than 263,000 members associated with various facets of local government in North Carolina’s 100 counties and 546 cities, towns and villages.

Free Fraud Detection Alerts now offered by Register of Deeds office The Rockingham County Register of Deeds’ office is now providing a new, FREE service that will probably receive lots of attention … Fraud Detection Alerts! Register of Deeds Rebecca Cipriani is teaming up with Courthouse Computer Systems to offer Rockingham County citizens a Fraud Detection Notification Service. This early warning system alerts property owners of any activity occurring in their registered name at the Register of Deeds’ office. “We have just unveiled a new, free service to alert our Rockingham County citizens by email when a document is recorded in our Office that matches their name,” Cipriani announced this morning. “Citizens can simply go to the Register of Deeds’ website and sign up for this free service.” You may reach the Register of Deeds’ website from the Rockingham County URL at www.MyRockingham CountyNC.com. Click Your County Government, then click the Register of Deeds’ link on the lower left, blue box, labeled Most Popular, or visit: http://www.co.rockingham.nc.us/ pview.aspx?id=14962 The Fraud Detection Notification Service is an early warning system to alert property owners of any activity occurring in their registered name at the Register of Deeds’ office. According to the FBI, Property and Mortgage Fraud is the fastest growing, white collar crime in the United States. For instance, a criminal will record a fraudulent deed, making it appear as if they own your home. Then, they can use your home as collateral on a mortgage or even worse – attempt to sell your home to an unsuspecting buyer. Cipriani cites this case: “I heard about a case in Oak Island, where the homeowners returned to their beach house to find that someone else had moved in, gutted it and was in the process of renovating the property. After questioning, the man produced a deed. But, it was discovered that the ‘new homeowner,’ had been given a fraudulent deed, using fake information.” She goes on to explain: “Although this type of crime is rare in North Carolina, it is on the rise nationwide, and every homeowner should be concerned. Therefore, the Rockingham County Register of Deeds’ office has taken a proactive step to provide you with a tool for staying ahead of criminals who prey on property owners by protecting your most important asset – your home.” It’s easy to sign up. Just go to the Register of Deeds’ website at www.registerofdeeds.info. Next, enter your name, email address, and one or more names that you wish for the service to monitor. A confirmation email will be sent to you upon completion. Once you receive the confirmation email, click the link in the email to activate your Fraud Detection Request. The service monitors the daily recordings and sends you an e-mail notification when a document is recorded in the Rockingham County Register of Deeds’ office that matches the name you entered. The service is provided at NO CHARGE by your Rockingham County Register of Deeds’ office. When signing up, please enter your full last name, but only a letter or two for your first name. For instance, using ‘S’ or ‘St’ rather than ‘Stephen’, the system will alert you if names are detected that were recorded with just initials, or misspelled, or

CenterPoint pushes Awareness for Access to Care Nothing should prevent an individual with a mental health condition, intellectual/developmental disability or substance use concern from seeking services and support. Calling the CenterPoint Human Services 24hour, toll-free number at 1-888581-9988 is a simple first step people can take to get the help they need. CenterPoint is reaching out through traditional and social media with an encouraging message for people who need, but are not currently receiving, public behavioral health services. What’s Stopping You? is a multi-media campaign that

breaks down barriers preventing individuals from seeking care – fear, shame, cultural bias, language, unemployment, lack of insurance, peer/family pressure. The six-month campaign uses real people to discuss real problems and real solutions. Bill boards, videos, television spots, website postings and written materials help carry the message. CenterPoint’s Chief Executive Officer, Betty Taylor, explained “The What’s Stopping You? campaign is truly a community effort to reach those who can benefit from behavioral health services. The hope is that the information and encourage-

ment offered through the campaign will motivate people to seek help. ” CenterPoint is hoping to “spread the word” to residents of Forsyth, Stokes, Davie and Rockingham Counties. Videos containing access information and encouragement will air on local televisions stations and will be posted to CenterPoint’s website (www.cphs.org). The public is invited to share these videos widely through email, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Google+. Billboards containing the toll-free access number will be posted in each of the four counties served by CenterPoint. A mobile application with appointment reminders and motivational content will soon be launched. Many individuals and partnering community organizations have participated in the initial phase of this public awareness effort targeting those with mental health and/or substance use needs. In late fall, additional campaign content will focus on services for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Along with the online Fraud Detection Notification Service on the Register of Deeds’ site, you’ll also find numerous, convenient links such as: e-Vault to search online records; Get Certificate Now to request Rockingham County birth, death, and marriage records online and pay by credit card; and Online Marriage Kiosk to complete your marriage application online to save time and streamline the process. Historically speaking, Cipriani says: “For hundreds of years, the Rockingham County Register of Deeds’ office has been a place where our local citizens could record and research land transactions. Our office provides transparency, accessibility, and a foundation for democracy and commerce. This new, FREE Fraud Detection Alert is a way to keep you up-to-date regarding information that may be filed under your name, so you have time to react quickly if fraud is suspected. It’s a tool that can provide our citizens with timely information and peace of mind.” She states: “The best protection we can offer our citizens against property fraud is proactive protection. My goal is to make Rockingham County less attractive to criminals and provide services that are in the best interest of our County. Although the service will not prevent property fraud, it can act as an early warning system to property owners that fraudulent activity may be occurring so they can quickly react and take appropriate action. We urge you to please sign up and then urge family and friends to sign up too!” Cipriani is no stranger to how fraud can impact property owners. In 2005, her quick action helped to bring a national lending scam that was defrauding homeowners out of thousands of dollars to the attention of the Attorney General, Roy Cooper. Her involvement was recognized by Governor Mike Easley on October 2, 2007, when she was awarded “The Old North State Award” for “dedication and service beyond expectation and excellence to the Great State of North Carolina, on behalf of the citizens of this State.”

The 1st “Maker Event” coming to Eden Public Library On Saturday, September 26, 2015 from 10-2, the Eden Public Library located at 598 S. Pierce Street in Eden will be putting on its very first “Maker” event. What is a “Maker event” you ask? Well, it is an International movement to provide space where people of all ages can create using arts and craft supplies, accomplish engineering and science projects all with a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. There will be several stations set up in our “Fieldcrest Room” where patrons of all ages can practice various “maker” experiences. For example, there will be stations where three levels of building blocks (Mega Bloks, Lego Duplo and Regular) will be available to build whatever the creative mind can imagine. In addition, we will have circuitry stations where you can discover how circuits work. There will be stations to disassemble electronics (VCRs, an adding machine, a typewriter, and other items) to identify the ingenuity of how they were built and possibly create something else; recycling at its finest. Lastly, there will be stations for you to make things out of various materials using glue guns, nuts, bolts, screws, tape, etc. Your creations can be taken home with the exception of the building blocks and circuitry components; they must remain at the library for future programs. For more information, please contact the Eden Public Library at 336-623-3168. Let your creative juices out and join us for this inaugural event.

Tuesday, September 15 at Noon - RSVP by September 14th! Reidsville Chamber of Commerce Office • Joel Kaczmarek, Sandler Training – 10% of people have written goals. The 10% with written goals are 10X more likely to attain them. Why? Because the other 90% don't have goals of their own and spend their time and energy helping the 10% attain theirs. Goals are magic and the attainment of personal goals goes a long way toward building selfesteem and healthy ego. This exercise will cover 7 different areas of life for setting goals and a way to write them as if they have already been accomplished.

years through collaborations with community groups and senior centers, as well as with schools, libraries, and other state and local institutions. To help get more households online, CenturyLink is offering discounted high-speed Internet service starting at $9.95 per month, plus applicable taxes and fees, for up to 1.5 Mbps download speed to eligible consumers in Eden Higher bandwidth services, where available, are offered at a comparable discount. “We are happy to offer affordable high-speed Internet service to those who need help getting online because we believe the Internet can be a vital part of expanding a family’s educational, social and economic opportunities,” said Rondi Furgason, CenturyLink vice president of operations for North Carolina. Participation in CenturyLink Internet Basics is determined by the criteria for the Lifeline Affordable Telephone Service, a federal program offered by CenturyLink that provides discounts on basic monthly telephone service to eligible low-income consumers. Although the criteria are the same, residents do not have to be Lifeline subscribers to participate in the Internet Basics program. However, consumers must qualify for one of 11 federal programs: Medicaid -Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps or SNAP) -Supplemental Security Income (SSI) -Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8) -Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) -Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) -National School Lunch Program’s Free Lunch Program -Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance -Tribally Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TTANF) -Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) -Head Start (if income eligibility criteria are met) CenturyLink is also offering program participants the opportunity to purchase a tablet for $150, plus taxes, shipping and handling. To purchase an iPad mini™, CenturyLink Internet Basics customers must agree to a 24–month contract (service is $9.95/month for 12 months; $14.95/month for months 13–24). CenturyLink is helping to provide access to basic computer education and technology training classes at no cost to eligible Internet Basics customers through collaboration with local community partners. Over the past three years, CenturyLink has facilitated more than 130 in-person customer training sessions throughout the 37 states it serves, with more than 2,700 participants. Through collaborations with community groups and senior centers, as well as with schools, libraries, and other state and local institutions, CenturyLink encourages and supports activities that help spur digital literacy. The Internet plays an increasingly central role in connecting Americans, including the senior population, to news and information, government services, education, health resources, and opportunities for social and economic support. According to a Broadband Expanded report on broadband adoption by senior citizens, older adults remain among the least likely to have a broadband connection, with only 47 percent having a connection at home. The report notes that the two largest barriers for senior broadband advancement are digital literacy and a belief that the Internet is not relevant or useful to them. The report concludes that educating seniors helps increase interest and facilitate impactful outcomes. Programs like CenturyLink’s Internet Basics that educate older adults on the benefits of broadband and train them to effectively use this technology while providing affordable Internet service can help spur broadband adoption among this segment of the population.

Even small improvements in food, physical activity choices yield big benefits Taking just one “small step” to improve your lifestyle choices can drastically enhance your health. Here’s an example. To prevent weight gain of one pound a year, eat ten calories less per day on average. Here’s another example. Walk one - half mile five days a week for three

months to burn the calories found in one pound of body weight. Two small food choice changes that improve health are to eat breakfast more regularly and to replace white bread with a whole grain type. Next, you might snack more often on fruits

and vegetables instead of selecting foods high in added salt or sugar. You might choose to read the Nutrition Facts labels on foods; replace most soft drinks with fat free milk; add cooked legumes to salads; or replace 80percent lean ground beef with 95-percent lean. Similar to making gradual improvements in food selections, being more physically active enhances well-being. You might begin to walk during part of your lunch hour, or park a little farther away from your office and stores. Over time, you could increase the minutes per week spent in planned physical activity sessions, such as stretching, using light hand-held weights or bicycling. Recent research confirms that losing ten pounds of excess body weight and getting 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, such as walking, greatly reduce the risk of getting Type-2 diabetes, or at least postpone the risk. The first step in this change process: Be aware that you don’t have to make lots of changes in food selections and physical activity all at once. That can lead to feeling overwhelmed. Instead, start by improving just one or two of your lifestyle choices. Nudge your food and physical activity habits toward better health. You can expect measurable benefits to your health and quality of life. For more information: Contact Nutrition Agent Geissler Baker at the Cooperative Extension office at (336) 342-8239.

County government wins two nationally recognized solutions awards Rockingham County Government is really on a roll starting cutting-edge programs, out-of-the-box initiatives, and creative projects. The Public Technology Institute (PTI) formally announced May 28th that Rockingham County Government won two, nationally recognized, solutions awards. In the category of Public Safety, the County received the 2015 PTI Solutions Award for the completion of the new 9-1-1 Emergency Communication PSAP Consolidation Project. In the category of Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), the County received the 2015 Significant Achievement Award for the Pictometry Application Project. The PTI Award programs actively seek solutions that solve real problems, are replicable, and create a sense of team and collaboration. "These projects are representative of the continual improvement efforts County employees make every day in commitment to good stewardship of government resources," said Rockingham County Chief Information Officer David Whicker, who submitted the two projects to PTI for consideration. Earlier this year, Rockingham County Government hosted a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony after completing the new Consolidated 91-1 Communications Center. This multi-year initiative was achieved through the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of elected officials, agency leadership, employees, and volunteers in local government and public safety agencies from all over Rockingham County. "Collaborative efforts between Rockingham County Government, the City of Reidsville, the City of Eden, and the Towns of Madison, Mayodan, Stoneville, and Wentworth made this vision a reality for our entire community," Whicker stated. “All 9-1-1 calls for service come to this new facility because we now dispatch for all public safety agencies in Rockingham County, with the exception of state agencies,” said County Emergency Services Director Johnny Bowles. “We have call stations for up to six call takers; the other six stations are dispatch/call taker stations.” The Pictometry Application Project also came about through collaborative efforts by the Tax and GIS Departments. County

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Manager Eric Belton and the Tax Dept., worked together to improve the property appraisal process; and an Electronic Field Study Software product provided by Pictometry International was selected and implemented. Pictometry is an innovative GIS program allowing the viewing of real property from different angles and perspectives. This allows the accurate measurement and identification of structures. The Tax Dept. began utilizing this tool which ultimately led to increasing the efficiency of the property appraisal process. This new capability created a cost avoidance opportunity, eliminating the need to increase personnel between revaluations. “Pictometry is yet another invaluable tool in which our appraisers can now easily assess property directly from their offices, in some situations. We can accurately confirm improvements’ measurements and identify changes in properties, oftentimes eliminating the need for a field visit,” explained Rockingham County Tax Director Mark McClintock. PTI’s Solutions Award program is a very prestigious PTI Member Award program and has been in existence for more than 30 years. Rockingham County will receive award statues in Oct. to place on display; official award recognition logos to place on the County website; and national attention through webinars and other presentations. Rockingham County Manager Lance Metzler will officially present these awards at an upcoming, regularly scheduled meeting of the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners this fall. “Our continued focus on providing the most efficient and timely services to Rockingham County citizens is always at the forefront of our organizational efforts. We are fortunate to have a Board of Commissioners committed to providing the best quality of life educationally, economically, and environmentally.

When the local wrestling team from Rockingham County Middle School lost their wrestling coach and was ready to fold the program, two of the team members Brian Land and Matt Barham at the plant stepped in and became coach and assistant. Another team member Jason Dooley donated money through the Benevity system for equipment and uniforms, getting his donation matched. The vol-

unteer hours were also entered into the system for the team to get needed resources as well. The team received almost $4000 through all the efforts from the plant. The team finished as conference champions, a tremendous accomplishment due to the hard work and dedication of the coaches and members of the team! The team also presented the Reidsville plant a trophy for their support and outreach in the community.

RCC names new Baseball Coach When the 2015-16 academic year begins, Rockingham Community College will welcome a new men’s baseball coach. Reece Honeycutt has been named to head the Eagles’ baseball program, bringing experience in coaching, recruitment, and game management to a program that has continued to enjoy success both on and off the field. Stewart McClintock, RCC’s Director of Student Life, also serves as athletic director, and expressed pleasure in having Honeycutt to serve as head baseball coach. “He brings great experience to our program, understands and believes in our values, and is excited to continue building upon the principles that have helped us to rebuild baseball in recent years. I’m confident that our student-athletes and others will really enjoy knowing Reece and learning from him.” Honeycutt has been involved with the sport of baseball most of his life. He attended Southern Wesleyan University and pitched for a season before an arm injury ended his pitching career. His coaching experience includes serving as Assistant Coach for the Mooresville Spinners collegiate program since 2014. In June 2015, his team was ranked #20 in the

country within collegiate baseball leagues. He served as head coach for Mt. Mourne IB Middle School in Mooresville since June 2014, and previously was JV assistant coach and head coach, then varsity assistant coach, at South Iredell High School in Statesville. The coaching ‘bug’ led Honeycutt to pursue the head coaching position at RCC upon learning of the departure of Jake Loye, who coached for the past two seasons and led RCC to a conference championship among Division III (non-scholarship) colleges within the region. Loye’s efforts were rewarded with his receipt of Coach of the Year recognition in the region’s Division III ranks. He decided to leave the team this summer to pursue other personal interests. McClintock reflected upon recent years of improvement in the baseball program as the basis upon which new coach Reece Honeycutt will enter. “Prior to Reece, coaches Jake Loye, Chris Loye, and Chris Johnson were the keys to the significant turnaround we’ve experienced with baseball. Their values, their expectations of our student-athletes, their role-modeling, and their ability to balance success on and off the field were increas-

ingly important and well known. Reece will inherit a program that has achieved positive recognition and will be a great basis upon which to build.” The 2015 team saw three baseball players receive high academic honors from the National Junior College Athletic Association, with all of the departing sophomores moving on either to four-year colleges and universities or the military. “It’s been pretty impressive to see what has been recently achieved,” McClintock remarked. “We expect to continue to build upon these good results with our new coach, Reece Honeycutt.”

DRBA to paddle in Danville, Va. T Butler

September 5 Outing from Newton's Landing to Anglers' Park Come paddle the Dan River through historic Danville, Virginia, with the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) on September 5. DRBA's First Saturday Outing will be a 3-mile float through the river district from Newton's Landing to Anglers' Park. Participants will meet at 10:00 a.m. at Newton's Landing parking lot, 500 Bridge Street, (GPS 36.587923,79.386737), to set the shuttle and begin the trip. Boat rentals and shuttle will be available at Three Rivers Outfitters of Eden, 336-6276215, www.3-R-O.com, or from Danville Parks & Recreation (reserved before noon on September 1), 434-799-5215, www.playdanvilleva.com/index.a spx?NID=257 . Coordinator for the trip is Charlie Williams, expert paddler and former chair of DRBA's Outings Task Force. The river is rated Class I, with a low Class II rapid at the broken Brantley Dam beside Dan Daniel Memorial Park. According to Williams, "This section of the Dan River offers a good opportunity to see wildlife. It's a good family paddle that's not too strenuous for young paddlers. As the last unobstructed section upriver from Kerr Lake, it also provides what some consider the best fishing on the Dan River." Wildlife is surprisingly rich and varied in downtown Danville, the only truly urban section of the entire river. River otters are sometimes seen frolicking in the water, and river cooters (turtles) sun themselves atop boulders. An osprey nest overlooks the water where other water-loving birds, such as herons, ducks, geese, and kingfishers, are frequently spotted. Forested sections of the bank host a variety of songbirds and small animals. Also varied are the major transportation bridges under which paddlers will pass. Pedestrians and bicyclists cross the Dan on the Richmond & Danville Pedestrian Bridge, a former railroad bridge that is now a prominent feature of the city's Crossing at the Dan. The Norfolk & Southern Railroad Bridge carries trains between Atlanta and New York. And highway traffic streams over the Dan on the double bridges of US-29/US-58 halfway through the trip. Founded in 1793 at a series of major rapids, Danville became a commercial and transportation center for the region. The Dan River powered early sawmills and gristmills via mill races that took advantage of these rapids. By the 1820s, the mill race on river right was enlarged and modified to become a batteau canal and locks that enabled long, narrow wooden batteaux to carry goods past the river's for-

Paddlers can enjoy a late summer day on the Dan River with the Dan River Basin Association on September 5. The First Saturday Outing float is free to the public. midable rock ledges and rapids. According to Dr. William Trout's Dan River Atlas, each of Danville's three canal locks "could hold a boat up to 10 feet wide and 68 feet long." In 1885 the batteau canal became the source of power for Moratock Mills, later Dan River Mills, a major textile manufacturer for over a century. During the Civil War, Danville's tobacco warehouses were used as Confederate military prisons, and a Confederate hospital complex was located in the city. In 1865 as the Confederate government fled oncoming Union troops on the Richmond & Danville Railroad, Danville became the last capital of the Confederacy. Its capitol building was the Sutherlin Mansion on Main Street, now the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History. Long a transportation center, Danville is the site of the 1903 Wreck of the Old 97, fatal to its engineer and ten crewmen, when the train ran too fast around a curve on a trestle overlooking Union Street Bridge. A contemporary ballad, now a classic of old-time string music, immortalized the wreck. Participants in the outing should supply boat, paddles, life jacket for each boater, lunch, and water; wear water-shedding synthetic fabric or wool; and be prepared to get wet. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver. To reach Newton's Landing from the south: Take US 29 N toward Virginia. Continue 5.8 miles on US-29 N/US-58E/Danville Expressway. Take the Goodyear Blvd. exit, and turn left onto Goodyear Boulevard. Drive 1 mile, and turn right onto Industrial Avenue.

The Race Track XII

The Woodchopper By Darrell Meade Gregory

Fifteen-year-old Bill Mangum opened the front door of his home to come face to face with the smartly uniformed Western Union representative. Bill signed for the telegram with dread, for he had seen them before. When his father, Gordon,

came home from work he was handed the message. Gordon read the note from NASCAR which suspended him for participating in a non-sanctioned event for several races. Gordon, the last winner at Draper Speedway, knew it was coming, so it was no sur-

prise. As Bill looked on apprehensively, his father laughed and said, “They’re crazy,” and tossed the telegraph into the trashcan. Gordon had a very successful ’53 season and had intentions of continuing his streak in 1954. The 1954 racing season had finally arrived. After two stellar seasons, Dixie Racing Circuit folded over the winter months. The only threat to NASCAR’s dominance could not fight the war of attrition that Bill France had imposed on them. Dixie failed to compete financially with the bulging pocketbook of the premier racing organization. Dixie garnered strong support from NASCAR deserters, but it came on the scene when there was starting a decline in spectators, for racetracks had popped up everywhere and were competing for the fan base. NASCAR had locked in all the big name Grand National drivers for its premier races and was growing throughout the south. If a driver ventured out to an unsanctioned race, he faced suspension of races and a fine of twenty-five dollars and up. Dixie faltered under this enormous pressure. Clay Earles and Bill France moved in and had taken over the Lynchburg track by April, and the Danville Fairgrounds soon went under the NASCAR banner. The major players of Dixie were quickly summoned to fill the positions they had held previously. Again, Ezra Apple of Danville was the flagman, the infallible Pete East was the scorer, and the radio personality Jerry Webster was the announcer. This trio was a hard combination to equal, and NASCAR was fortunate in securing their services. John East, Jr. had decided to open the Draper Speedway again. Racing had started in the area by April, but East did not have the track ready to go until June 6th. East went on a well-timed full blown publicity blitz for his first race of the year. The Southern Speedway News, published by Emerson Manuel, did a front page article on the speedway’s first race of the season. NASCAR’s local chief steward, George Minter, announced that Roanoke’s “Blond Blizzard,” Curtis Turner would be on hand opening day. The hottest driver on the NASCAR circuit, the brash Turner boasted that “he intended to show the rest of the boys the fast way around.” Perk Brown quickly predicted that Turner “has got to go if he wins.” The NASCAR Sanctioned Sportsman event had an overload of over forty drivers scheduled to show up. Carl Burris, Perk Brown, and Gordon Mangum were the strongest and most popular local drivers attending.

Ellis

EDEN CITY COUNCIL Ward 7 Paid for by the Committee to Re-Elect Jerry Ellis

Another favorite, Glenn Wood from Stuart, was steadily putting his No.22 in the winner’s circle. Spectators were starting to recognize Danville’s Wendell Scott’s car being in the top three finishes more often, and this was the first time that he was mentioned in the Leaksville News. Ralph Earnhardt, from Kannapolis, was also listed for the first time to show up at the track. With no rain in the forecast, it was a perfect day for racing that June 6th. While all the fans were pulling for their hometown heroes, another first time winner at the speedway emerged. It was not a surprise that Glenn Wood of Stuart, Virginia, took the first place honors from a host of contending drivers. Wood had always been a tough foe at the track, and that day was his day.

Though he narrowly missed being impaled by a plank from the fence which went through his windshield in an earlier Draper race, he did not let that deter him from the winner’s circle that day. An unbelievable success story, Glenn Wood won a race the first year he started in 1950. Aided by his “make anything run” brother, Leonard Wood, he rapidly climbed through a tough field of racers to the top echelon. Glenn Wood did not drive liquor cars to get his driving experience. Instead, he cut his teeth on driving trucks loaded with wood up and down the hills of Patrick County. Being in the sawmill business, he was quickly hung with the nickname “the Woodchopper.” Glenn Wood was an exceptionally smooth driver who avoided being caught up in melees and conflicts with other drivers. The 1954 year was good for the No.22 car as Glenn Wood had just won his first race of the season at Bowman Gray Stadium the prior week. The rest of the year, he was constantly up front with the best. Glenn Wood went on to win at least eight feature events, making 1954 his best year yet. Glenn Wood had started his

stellar climb to the top of NASCAR. Soon, the Stuart brothers would be known to the world as the Wood Brothers. Always sticking with the Ford Motor Company, Glenn Wood turned down an offer to drive a potential winning Chevrolet when his car was down one night. Without hesitating, he told the car owner, “I’d rather drive a Ford.” This arrangement worked well for both parties, as he became a legend in stock car racing and Ford reaped the publicity benefits. Wood left the sawmill business in the mid 1950’s to concentrate strictly on racing when Ford started their sponsorship. When the 1960’s rolled around, the Wood Brothers’ innovations transformed NASCAR into the period of modern racing. No team could equal the Wood Brothers’ famed pit-stops, and it took all by surprise. Not content with sitting on their laurels, the Wood Brothers took the Daytona 500 again just a few short years previously. While others have come and gone, the Wood Brothers are the longest running team in NASCAR. Contributing to the media blitz, John East, Jr. made an alliance with the local Moose order to sell advance infield tickets for half-price to entice more fans. The Moose also threw in a new, 1954 four-door, Chevrolet sedan to be given away to one of the advance ticket holders. A Moose member, Raymond Ellington purchased a ticket for his son, Sherman, in the Air Force. As luck would have it, Sherman won a new car while stationed in Newfoundland. The attendance was good, but there was still some empty seats. Exciting races were back at the small and fast track. The track had just re-opened, and it was hoped soon the bleachers be back to full capacity. The fans waited for the next event to be announced, and they waited, and they waited. Part XIII will appear in next month’s Eden’s Own Journal.

Jacob’s Creek brings show to residents Tamelia Hodges wants to help people. She’s had a lot of problems in her past and has overcome them with strength,

hard work, and a wonderful sense of determination not to mention a contagious uplifting personality. She exhibits and shares her enthusiasm with those she works with at Jacob’s Creek Rehabilitation Center in Madison. In her work as a C.N.A. she works first hand with patients who light up at her sincere smile. Tamelia realized that the patients rarely if ever get out of the center to visit community events and festivals. So she came up with an idea, bring the festival to them. In a short three weeks she worked day and night, countless hours, to get businesses and groups together to create the first ever Annual Jacobs Creek Nursing Center Classic Cruise In.

She gathered vendors from all over to support the festival as they could, with products for selling, giveaways and food for the residents and guests. Among the classic cars provided for the event by Eden Cruise Car Club, there was food for everyone.

The

Teacher helps children understand the impact of 9/11 elementary students, focused on the way people came together and helped each other after the attacks. Topics covered included character education, anti-bullying, 9/11 myth debunking, remembrance, and service, with a presentation by a local firefighter who shared his story of working on the recovery at the World Trade Center. The event has now become an annual 9/11 memorial celebration at the school. This schoolwide memorial is a prime example of what schools can do to educate their students on the subject of 9/11 during their remembrance ceremonies as well as how to teach such a subject on a younger level.

Vickie Slaydon explains 9/11 to class

Bethany teacher music teacher Vickie Slaydon, was honored earlier this year with the 2014 9/11 Tribute Center Teacher Award and sent to New York for a special ceremony at Ground Zero. Each year the 9/11 Tribute Center honors teachers who create exemplary educational projects that help students understand the impact of 9/11. This year, we had so many exceptional projects that we awarded 8 winners and 13 honorable mentions, which we’ll be sharing throughout the year! Enhancement teachers (music, art, computer, gym and library) took the lead in creating a 9/11 anniversary event to introduce young students to the history of September 11th. Ms. Slaydon led the charge and hosted the programs for each age group in her music room. The age-appropriate lessons, using 9/11 themed books written for

Photography, Shell Rapid Lube, Auto Zone, Adavne Auto, Carquest, Stitch Party Studio, Madison Flower Shop, Flynn Furniture, Tire Max, Tanning Creations, Morgan’s Gun Shop, Oriely’s Atuo Parts and Always and Forever Florist. Besides creating a good time for the residents, Hodges wanted to raise a little money to provide personal items for each resident, and to promote community involvment and awareness of the worldwid elder care crisis. There were residents, guests and volunteers galore, enjoying the wonderful day filled with smiles. Denise McKee “The Dove Lady” of Skydancer Dove Release provided a show with her beloved doves, releasing several at the event.

Just look at that sweet face! Dell is a loving dog who just wants to be with people. He is happy to have been rescued from death row and now he is searching for someone to make him part of their family. He is a chow-chow mix, about 2 years old, still young and playful but out of the terrible puppy stage! He loves to play with toys and likes long walks. Dell is up-todate on his vaccinations and he has been neutered. He tested positive for heartworms but is under treatment and doing great. If you’re searching for a great companion dog to become part of your family, please consider Dell. He’s just a big teddy bear! His adoption fee of $125 includes his current vaccinations, neutering and a six-month supply of heartworm treatment. For more information, call Lori at 280-8021 or find us on Facebook at friendsofedenshelter or at our website friendsoftheedenanimalshelter.weebly.com. The Friends of the Eden Animal Shelter is a 501c3 nonprofit group using networking to provide support for the abandoned, lost and stray animals that find themselves at the Eden and area shelters. Volunteers for the Friends of the Eden Animal Shelter work on a daily basis to promote and save the animals that come into the shelter. We organized more than a year ago,

and since that time, we’ve saved the lives of more than 200 animals in Eden and beyond! We do much more than get a cat or dog out of the shelter. Our rescued animals are given a health check by a vet and vaccinated. Arrangements are made for the animal to be spayed or neutered. Animals then go with their adoptive family or into foster care. We are passionate about helping Eden’s less fortunate pets and we need your support. We would love for you to see what we are all about. Come to our booth at RiverFest on Saturday, Sept. 19. We will have delicious baked goods for sale for you and your furry friends, along with handcrafted wares, Friends logo merchandise and raffle tickets for a couple of fantastic pet goodie baskets. And keep in mind that your tax-deductible donation to the Friends truly does save a life. If you’re in Greensboro on Sunday, Sept. 27, stop by and see us at All Pets Considered on Battleground Avenue. You can get more information about our group and meet a furry someone you may want to add to your family. For more information, call Lori at 280-8021 or find us on Facebook at friendsofedenshelter or at our website friendsoftheedenanimalshelter.weebly.com.

Foot Care Month August was Foot Care Month, and it's still a great time to give some attention to your tired tootsies. And the best way to do that is to wear comfortable shoes that fit well. The next time you shop for shoes, keep these guidelines for foot health in mind: Along with other things, your feet may get wider with age. Measure your feet before buying the shoes. Soft, flexible uppers will better match the shape of your foot. Leather shoes generally irritate your skin less. Soles should provide good traction. Thicker soles lessen pressure on hard surfaces such as concrete and wood flooring. Low-heeled shoes, for obvious reasons, are more comfortable and present less risk of injury and discomfort than high heeled shoes.

Morehead Hospital receives new quality-based accreditation from DNV GL Healthcare Morehead Memorial Hospital has successfully completed its new three-year accreditation from DNV GL – Healthcare. By earning accreditation, Morehead has demonstrated it meets or exceeds patient safety standards (Conditions of Participation) set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV GL’s accreditation program is the only program to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation. ISO ( International Standardization Organization) is a quality management system that has been used in industry for years. It is now a standard in healthcare. “Morehead has worked hard to achieve this certification, and they have done so with unwavering commitment from their top leadership to make their hospital the best it can be,” says Patrick Horine, President of DNV - GL

Healthcare. “ISO certification isn’t just an award or trophy for something you’ve done; it’s public evidence that you are at the top of your game with an obvious plan in place to make excellence an every day objective.” Morehead Hospital CEO Howard Ainsley agrees. “The DNV GL program is consistent with our long-term commitment to quality and patient safety. The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward.” ISO 9001 brings science to the art of caregiving; it helps to standardize processes around things that are proven to work, by the people doing the work. It empowers frontline workers while creating an environment of predictability for the entire organization. The ultimate impact of ISO within hospitals is the reduction or elimination of variation, so that critical work processes are done consistently and the “best ideas” aren’t held by one person or one department, but are ingrained in the organization itself. Businesses that implement ISO do so for both the internal and external benefits. Internally, it helps staff create clear and consistent processes of patient care, and ensures that progress is constantly being made toward specific quality objectives. Externally, it tells the public, as well as insurers and regulatory agencies, that the hospital is not only talking about quality, but is pursuing it with discipline and transparency.

For the Fun of it... Weighed Down During a business trip to Boeing’s Everett, Wash., factory, I noticed several 747 and 777 airliners being assembled. Before the engines were installed, huge weights were hung from the wings to keep the planes balanced. The solid-steel weights were bright yellow and marked “14,000 lbs.” But what I found particularly interesting was some stenciling I discovered on the side of each weight. Imprinted there was the warning: “Remove before flight.”

Tough Question My 50-something friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her mother to the magic of the Internet. Our first move was to access the popular "Ask Jeeves" site, and we told her it could answer any question she had. Nancy’s mother was very skeptical until Nancy said, "It’s true, Mom. Think of something to ask it." As I sat with fingers poised over the keyboard, Nancy’s mother thought a minute, then responded, "How is Aunt Helen feeling?"

Smarter Generation The computer in my high school classroom recently started acting up. After watching me struggle with it, one of my students took over. "Your hard drive crashed," he said. I called the computer services office and explained, "My computer is down. The hard drive crashed." "We can’t just send people down on your say-so. How do you know that’s the problem?" "A student told me," I answered. "We’ll send someone over right away."

Airplane Confusion My flight was delayed in Houston. Since the gate was needed for another flight, our aircraft was backed away from the terminal, and we were directed to a new gate. We all found the new gate, only to discover a third gate had been designated for our plane. Finally, everyone got on board the right plane, and the flight attendant announced: “We apologize for the gate change. This flight is going to Washington, D.C. If your destination is not Washington, D.C., you should deplane at this time.” A moment later a red-faced pilot emerged from the cockpit, carrying his bags. “Sorry,” he said, “wrong plane.”

Big Mouth New to the United States, I was eager to meet people. So one day I struck up a conversation with the only other woman in the gym. Pointing to two men playing racquetball in a nearby court, I said to her, “There’s my husband.” Then I added, “The thin one—not the fat one.” After a slightly uncomfortable silence she replied, “And that’s my husband—the fat one.”

Small Print During the mortgage closing on our summer house, my wife and I were asked to sign documents containing small print. When I asked if I should read it, my attorney replied, “Legally, you should. But here’s the bottom line: If you pay your installments on time, there is nothing in there that could harm you. Should you stop paying, however, there is definitely nothing in the small print that can save you.”

Six Dumb Questions Real Lawyers Asked In Court “How many times have you committed suicide?” “Were you alone or by yourself?” “Was it you or your brother who was killed?” “Without saying anything, tell the jury what you did next.” “Was that the same nose you broke as a child?” “Now, doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning?”

Security System When a neighbor’s home was burglarized, I decided to be more safety conscious. But my measly front-door lock wasn’t going to stop anyone, so I hung this sign outside: “Nancy, don’t come in. The snake is loose. Mom.”

Turkey A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

Timing Is Everything

You’re a dumb criminal if …

A guy shows up late for work. The boss yells, “You should’ve been here at 8:30!” The guy replies, “Why? What happened at 8:30?”

You believe flattery will get you anywhere. Adan Juarez Ramirez had it all figured out—he could be a cop without having to take the boring test. But he was arrested in Grapevine, Texas, after pulling over a driver in his pickup truck, outfitted with flashing lights. He even had an ID badge, which he’d made by blacking out a restaurant gift card and etching in the word "POLICE." However, he’d kept the restaurant’s logo, a jalapeño pepper surrounded by the words "Chipotle Mexican Grill."

What’s in a Name? A young man called directory assistance. “Hello, operator, I would like the telephone number for Mary Jones in Phoenix, Arizona.” “There are multiple listings for Mary Jones in Phoenix,” the operator replied. “Do you have a street name?” The young man hesitated, and then said, “Well, most people call me Ice Man.”

Quacking Up A duck walks into a drugstore and asks for a tube of ChapStick. The cashier says to the duck, “That’ll be $1.49.” The duck replies, “Put it on my bill!”

Drink A grasshopper hops into a bar. The bartender says, “You’re quite a celebrity around here. We’ve even got a drink named after you.” The grasshopper says, “You’ve got a drink named Steve?”

Some criminals can get away with anything--not these. You leave IOUs. Mr. Price of South Wales ripped off the bank where he worked, but he wasn’t completely duplicitous. He left a note in the safe: "Borrowed, seven million pounds"—signed "Graham Price." You vastly overrate your powers of persuasion. Mr. Moore of Miami filed a fraudulent tax return, and the IRS promptly sent him a $10,000 refund. So figuring, Why not try my luck again?, he sent in three more tax returns. But even the IRS raised an eyebrow at cutting him a check for the total amount of the refunds: more than $14 trillion. Moore pleaded guilty to cashing the $10,000 check. You think presidents need a promotion. Mr. Rhyne of Memphis was charged with forgery after he handed a waitress a $100 bill. The waitress knew something was funny with the money: Instead of the portly visage of Ben Franklin, it was the star of the $5 bill, Abe Lincoln, who was staring back at her. You leave a paper trail. Hickory, North Carolina, cops were able to solve in record time the mystery of the two cash registers purloined from the Captain’s Galley restaurant. Their big break came when they discovered a trail of white register tape. They followed it 50 yards to an apartment, where, they say, Donny was cracking the registers open. You love too much. Maybe Mr. Bennett should try online dating. After he and two accomplices allegedly mugged a couple in Columbus, Ohio, police say he found the woman’s ID in her purse, then showed up at her door with a simple proposal: How about a date? Since a girl likes to play hard to get, she called the cops, who arrested Bennett outside her home.

2014 Tourism’s Economic Impact announced by state Rockingham County Experienced Record $65 million in Visitor Spending Governor Pat McCrory and Department of Commerce Secretary John E. Skvarla, III recently announced that 97 of the state's 100 counties saw increases in visitor spending in 2014. Domestic visitors spent a

record $21.3 billion statewide in 2014, an increase of 5.5 percent from the previous year. State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending topped $1 billion in 2014, and local tax revenues directly resulting from visitor spending totaled more than $636 million. Visitor expenditures directly supported 204,909 jobs and generated more than $4.9 billion in payroll income across North Carolina. In Rockingham County, domestic visitors spent a record

$65.45 million in 2014, an increase of 5.9 percent from the previous year. Other tourism impact highlights for 2014 include: The travel and tourism industry directly employees approximately 530 people in Rockingham County. Total payroll generated by the tourism industry in Rockingham County was $10.54 million. State tax revenue generated in Rockingham County totaled $3.35 million through state sales and excise taxes, and taxes on personal and corporate income. Approximately $1.57 million in local taxes were generated from sales and property tax revenue from travel-generated and travelsupported businesses. The tax revenue generated by travel and tourism represents a $53.12 tax savings per resident in Rockingham County. "Tourism is a major force in North Carolina's economic development," said Governor McCrory. "The industry is fueling a continued growth in jobs

and contributing substantial sums to the state budget and local economies in every corner of our great state." Secretary Skvarla added, "Nothing compares with our state's diverse natural beauty and rewarding experiences at every turn. We can take pride in North Carolina's position as the sixth most-visited state in the nation with nearly 50 million overnight visitors in 2014." The visitor spending figures come from an annual study commissioned by Visit North Carolina and conducted by the U.S. Travel Association. The study uses sales and tax revenue data, employment figures and other industry and economic data to determine the overall impact of visitor spending in North Carolina. “We are thrilled with these numbers from 2014,” said Robin Yount, tourism manager for Rockingham County. “The state numbers reflect the growth we have been tracking locally and further indicate the importance of tourism in economic develop-

ment in our community.” “As indicated by these numbers, tourism plays a vital role in Rockingham County’s economy. The TDA Board and I are committed to making sure this industry continues to thrive here,” said Dixie Penn, chair of the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority. “We hope more and more people will come and see what a good place this is to visit.” Full tables can be accessed at partners.VisitNC.com. For more information about the travel impact numbers, contact Marlise Taylor, Director, Tourism Research at Visit North Carolina.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall City system continues to improve By Melinda Ward, Wastewater Superintendent

Each year, municipalities and private corporations with a public sewer collection and treatment system are asked to send in a report for their previous year’s activities. This is to stay current with the types of treatment systems being used, the miles of pipelines in service, and any problems that were reported to the state by either the collection system or the treatment plant over the last 12 months. This is a requirement by the state for their records, but it is also a way to report to the citizens in each community what their system is like and how it has been doing. Many citizens still do not understand what happens after they flush or what effect they have on the system when they flush the wrong things down the drain. By publicizing the Sewer Collection System Annual Performance Report, we are giving everyone a chance to learn more. This article serves only as a summary of the report, but I urge anyone interested to read the report in its entirety on the city’s webpage at www.edennc.us under City Departments, Public Utilities, Wastewater Treatment division. The treatment system for the city consists of only one wastewater treatment plant. Mebane Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant can treat up to 13.5 million gallons a day, but for the past 12 months, the facility only averaged 3.578 million gallons a day. Our nine employees continue to

work together to efficiently produce a higher quality effluent than ever before. For the fifth year in a row, we were able to report no violations for a full 12month period. The operations’ staff does an excellent job in maintaining and improving operations, keeping an eye on the little details of each process, and showing a sense of pride in their work that is hard to find nowadays. During the past year, a lot of work has been done on different areas of our collection system to help us eliminate inflow and infiltration. You may have seen private crews working hard in different parts of town. The city’s collection crew has also been working hard to do what is within their capabilities so that we can reduce the amount of work that is contracted out. With this consorted effort, the number of sewer overflows should either dramatically decrease or stop altogether. This has all been part of the city’s effort to comply with the EPA’s Administrative Order. The Administrative Order will still stand until all areas have been corrected, but we are now able to show a significant improvement while continuing to move forward with their directives. Because of all of the recent work, we did see a decrease from last year of reportable overflows or bypasses that flowed to surface waters. We went from 26

to six events for the year. An additional overflow also occurred but it never made it to the state’s waters. That is a huge improvement in and of itself. What is even more impressive is the reduction in the amount of sewage that made it out. Last year the total number of gallons of untreated sewage that made it to the waters of the state from I&I was 183,290 gallons. This year the total was only 4,475 gallons with an additional 9,125 gallons spilled on the ground. That is a decrease in over 97.5 percent making it to state waters. It shows that all of our efforts are paying off and aiding in the protection of the rivers. We also had overflows from three of our pump stations as compared to four the previous year. The amount of sewage reaching surface water also decreased from 62,561 gallons to 25,095 gallons. There is still more work to be done to ensure that we can stop all preventable overflows in the future. At this time, we are looking at up to 20 years more of repairs on our system to keep it operational and overflow free. As I mentioned, we can do a lot to stop overflows that are preventable, such as broken pipes and undersized pump stations. We do, however, have problems preventing other overflows caused by such things as grease and rag blockages. We are working with commercial establishments to keep the majority of grease contained, but this continues to be an ongoing battle. It is so important that our citizens realize the role that they have in keeping our sewers in good shape. Everyone must stay aware of how the little things can either help or harm our system. Our website shows tips on dealing with household grease. We try to get articles in the newspaper when we have to deal with frequent repeated problems, such as wipes being flushed and clogging pipes. We even have brochures in City Hall that explain how a wastewater system works so that citizens stay informed. When problems are in specific areas of town, we try to get out informative brochures or door hangers that cover how to prevent whatever the problem is. It takes everyone in the community to make a difference. If anyone has any other questions about our sewer system or what they can do to help improve it, please feel free to contact my office at 627-1009, ext. 130. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have and even conduct quick tours of our facility as time allows.

Let’s get back to school in Eden, safely! By Sgt. Sam Shelton, Police Department

Once again we find the end of summer vacation and the return of school routine. As we prepare for the 2015-16 school year with new clothes and school supplies, let’s prepare as well for the safety of the approximately 4,000 students on their way to and from school in Eden each school day. TIPS FOR CAR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS: Be sure that everyone in your car is wearing a seatbelt and that younger children are in properly used child restraint devices. Be sure to leave early enough to safely deal with any traffic congestion along the way. Pay attention to any traffic control officers. They are there to help ensure that everyone arrives and leaves school safely. Not only is it against the law to fail to comply with a traffic officer’s directions, failure to do so can cause injury and death. Pay attention to stopped school buses. Remember that it is against the law to pass stopped school buses. The only time a motorist does not have to stop for a school bus receiving or discharging passengers is if the motorist is traveling in the opposite direction of the school bus and there is a physical barrier between both directions of travel. A center turn lane counts as a barrier as long as the roadway consists of at least four lanes. For more information, check out the North Carolina Safety Web at http://itre.ncsu.edu/GHSP/index. html TIPS FOR SCHOOL BUS RIDERS: Always walk on the sidewalk to the bus stop, never run. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left facing traffic. Go to the bus stop about five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Do not play in the street while waiting for the bus. Enter the bus in line with younger students in front. Hold the handrail while going up and down the stairs.

Make sure that drawstrings, backpacks and other loose items are secure before getting on or off the bus so that they do not get caught on the handrail or the door. When entering the bus, go directly to a seat. Remain seated and face forward during the entire ride. Always speak quietly on the bus so the driver will not be distracted. Always be silent when a bus comes to a railroad crossing so the driver can hear if a train is coming. Never throw things on the bus or out the windows. Keep the aisles clear at all times. You should keep your feet in front of you on the floor and your backpacks should be kept on lap. Never play with the emergency exits. Never block aisles or emergency exits. If there is an emergency, listen to the driver and follow instructions. Hands should be kept to yourself at all times while riding on the bus. If you leave something on the bus, do not return to the bus to get it as the driver may not see you come back and may be moving the bus. If you drop something near the bus, do not try to pick it up. While standing away from the bus attempt to get the driver’s attention so that the driver may know something is under the bus. Respect the "Danger Zone" which surrounds all sides of the bus. The "Danger Zone" is 10 feet wide on all sides of the bus. Always remain 10 steps away from the bus to be out of the "Danger Zone" and where the driver can see you. Wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing the street. Always cross the street in front of the bus. Never cross the street or play behind the school bus. Never speak to strangers at the bus stop and never get into the car with a stranger.

National Night Out celebrated in Eden On Aug. 4, the Eden Police and Fire departments were happy to participate in the celebration hosted by staff and residents at Riverview Apartments as they joined in the National Night Out program. National Night Out is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. National Night Out has been held in the U.S. 32 times now and is celebrated the first Tuesday night of August. Last year’s National Night Out program involved 38.1 million people in 16,540 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.

“RockingCam” is a web camera that is placed on Mayo Mountain, the county’s highest point, and is a joint project between WLOE/WMYN RockinghamCountyRadio and the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority (TDA). The project was funded by a $25,000 grant received from the Rockingham County Community Foundation as part of the Duke Energy Dan River Basin Fund. The Rockingham County Community Foundation is an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation. RockingCam live stream is now available anytime and anywhere. It provides real-time footage of the views from the top of Mayo Mountain in the rolling hills surrounding the

Mayodan area. “This project was a natural fit for the TDA because it gives us another tool for promoting the beauty of Rockingham County. RockinghamCountyRadio is the perfect partner for this because of the station’s location on Mayo Mountain and their capability to manage the web cam and broadcast the live stream,” said Robin Yount, tourism manager. “This is going to be a wonderful way to showcase our landscape, especially in the fall when the colors are so vibrant.” “RockingCam is an exciting one-of-a-kind project.

In the past fiscal year (July 2014 – June 2015) Aging Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County has touched the lives of more than 17,000 people. In a county of roughly 93,000 residents this means we are directly serving nearly 1 in every 5 residents with the services we provide. Our goal is to provide supports within the community and home setting to improve the health and quality of life for our participants and their families. Our services are driven by community need and sustained through community support, as such, we feel a great sense of responsibility to the residents of Rockingham County and are delighted to share some highlights of the past year with you. This year the Center for Active Retirement , with state recognition as a center of excellence, served 121 people through its various activities and trainings designed to arm individuals with the information they need to remain active and healthy; address health risks such as falls; manage chronic diseases; and recognize the importance of selfcare when acting as a caregiver for others. By offering earlier interventions, we give individuals the information and support to better manage and avoid risks commonly associated with aging. The Center also promotes social and civic engagement and offers a variety of classes and activities to build new skills and enhance quality of life – including computer literacy, line dancing, and aerobics. Good nutrition is widely recognized as a critical component of long-term health and well-being. Locally we see tremendous benefits of daily, home-delivered meals and social contact for homebound seniors. According to studies presented by Meals on Wheels America, an overwhelming percentage of Meals on Wheels recipients report that participation in the program helps them eat better,

Powers remain at home and increases their feeling of security. This year ADTS provided more than 61,000 meals to homebound seniors in our county. More than 25,000 additional meals were provided through the sister congregate nutrition program, Meals with Friends. For the hundreds of people served through our nutrition programs, the benefit goes beyond the nutritious meals. For many, the daily contact with our dedicated volunteers reduces social isolation and increases the person’s overall well-being and sense of security. By offering community based supports we enhance the ability for older adults and adults with disabilities to remain in their homes, delaying or preventing premature or unwanted placement in long term care facilities. Through the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA); In-Home Aide support services and the LEAF Adult Day Care/Health Center, we offer individually tailored care plans designed to address each participant’s unique care needs. Last year our In-Home Aide services averaged more than 19,000 service hours a month in the homes of individuals with physical and/or cognitive impairments. This program provides assistance with essential daily activities in the areas of personal care and home management tasks. The LEAF Center served an additional 34 participants with daily programming designed to enhance socialization, creative thinking and physical activities that enrich their lives while offering support services and respite for family caregivers throughout the community. ADTS continues to serve the public transportation needs of Rockingham County, with the RCATS fleet and skat bus transportation systems. This year RCATS operated a fleet of 24

I’m grateful to the many people who made it happen,” said Mike Moore, general Manager of WLOE/WMYN RockinghamCountyRadio. “The web cam provides a nice little window into our world. We greatly appreciate the Rockingham County Community Foundation and Duke Energy for funding this project for us. I hope that people will visit it often to see how our landscape changes throughout the seasons,” said Texie Needham, chair of the TDA Board.

vans while continuing to serve as the one-call center responsible for coordinating all Medicaid transportation. Over the past year, our vans traveled nearly 710,000 miles providing incounty transportation to over 14,000 residents. The transit department has experienced significant growth as we expanded the skat bus system to include fixed routes in Reidsville and Western Rockingham County. The bus system has provided more than 21,000 trips this year alone. The fixed routes and connector system provides unparalleled access across Rockingham County and is positioned to have significant impact around issues such as education, employment, and access to health care. It goes without saying that we couldn’t accomplish all that we do without support from our community. With the generous financial support from our corporate partners, the United Way of Rockingham County, the Reidsville Area Foundation, our private donors and all of the local businesses that have supported us through our fund-raising efforts, we are able to expand our reach to meet the ever increasing needs of our community. We also recognize that none of this is possible without the dedication of our staff and volunteers. Our team of 260 employees and 650 volunteers are the backbone of our service delivery. Over the past forty-one years ADTS has seen many changes. However, the commitment, passion and expertise of our team have been unwavering. The dedication of our staff, volunteers, board and contributors have positioned ADTS as a leader in the field of nonprofits and more importantly, at the forefront for enhancing the quality of life for the residents of Rockingham County, a position we take very seriously. We hope this year end review has provided valuable information about the ways we are continually working to meet the needs throughout the community. If you’d like more information on the programs presented in this article or if you would like to get involved with ADTS, contact us at (336)349-2343.
