Rockingham County Commissioners present a plaque to Darin Quesinberry, plant manager of Karastan, to commemorate the company’s 90th anniversary.

This year marks 90 years since Karastan began making the first high-quality, machine-made Oriental rugs in Eden and Rockingham County. To celebrate this major milestone, both the Eden City Council and Rockingham County Board of Commissioners recognized the company during their respective July meetings.

Karastan’s story as an innovator dates back to the 1920s when its “wonder rug” first amazed visitors at two World’s Fairs. What was so impressive about the Karastan rug manufactured in Eden then, as it still is today, was that it brought the first high quality, machine-made Oriental rug to consumers at reasonable prices.

The Karastan mill that sparked the brand’s history and great reputation opened in Eden in 1928. Today, Karastan remains a vital industry to Eden and Rockingham County with around 280 full-time employees.

Now a division of Mohawk Industries, Karastan has continued as an innovator, implementing new technology to refine its manufacturing process but the result remains the same: elegant, machine-made rugs that rival their handmade counterparts.

In 2015, Mohawk announced it would expand the Karastan plant in Eden, creating more than 100 new jobs and investing $8 million in improvements in the plant.

This expansion represents a revitalization of one of Eden’s and Rockingham County’s legacy companies.

“It is wonderful to celebrate Karastan for being in our community and doing business here for 90 years. This company has meant a lot to Eden and Rockingham County

Help Needed to Create County Aging Plan!

Aging, Disability & Transit Services Powers

As you may already know, the population of our community is changing. The aging of baby boomers and increased life expectancies have led to a rapidly expanding population of older adults. According to the U.S Census Bureau, by 2040 one in every four Americans will be advanced in age. In order to prepare for this aging boom, it has become increasingly important for local communities to understand the needs and strengths of their older adult populations.

Aging Planning Committees are responsible for the creation and implementation of plans that provide supportive services for the older adult population, including those with disabilities. Committee members review and analyze data about the aging population, the services that are available, the costs of those services, and oversee how the county’s Home and Community Care Block Grant funding will be distributed.

More recently, these committees have been tasked with developing county-wide aging plans to serve as a “roadmap” for meeting the diverse needs of older adults. The focus is not

just on health services but also encompasses transportation, housing, recreation, safety and other community services. This plan is intended to develop a proactive approach that will address the short-term and longterm needs of the aging demographic while recognizing and expanding the strengths and opportunities currently available.

The Rockingham County Planning Committee for Services to the Elderly is asking for your input in evaluating the needs of people 60 years of age and older in the county. We are interested in learning your perspective on how to best promote a high quality of life among older adults in Rockingham County. An online version of the Needs Assessment can be located under the “News and Events” section of the ADTS web page (www. adtsrc.org) or contact our office at (336)3492343 to obtain paper copies.

This anonymous and confidential survey will guide the development of an aging plan that will help make our community a better place to live for older adults, caregivers, and others.

Q & A’s: More Options for Cholesterol Control

Nearly one in 10 kids deals with allergies. That includes hay fever and respiratory, food, and skin allergies. That’s a lot of sniffling and sneezing and itching and wheezing!

It’s not any wonder that researchers keep trying to figure out ways to relieve some of this suffering. Here’s a snapshot of a few recent allergy studies that reveal a few surprises about allergies in kids.

Too clean? Think twice before going overboard with the cleaning supplies. A recent study found that inner-city newborns exposed to a too-clean home were more vulnerable to allergies and asthma later in life. Surprisingly, the more rodent, roach, and cat allergens they were exposed to, the better. Allergens plus bacteria appeared to be the most protective.

This study supports what’s called the “hygiene hypothesis.” What does that mean? When homes are too clean, young kids’ bodies might not develop the right responses to allergens like cat dander.

Maybe cleanliness isn’t really next to godliness!

The study needs more follow-up, especially since it reverses the results of earlier studies. So, don’t rush out and adopt a cat (or let your house become infested!) But stay tuned for more on this topic.

Moo! Exposure to microbes may also be behind another study’s recent findings.

In rural areas of Sweden, researchers found that kids growing up on dairy farms had one-tenth the risk of allergies as kids living in other rural areas. The study found for the first time that delayed development of immune systems puts youngsters at risk for allergies. So the researchers suspect something on these dairy farms is helping their immune systems to mature.

Speaking of milk (and eggs). Researchers recently surveyed more than 300 caregivers of kids about their kids’ allergies. What they found surprised them. Parents weren’t most anxious about peanut and tree allergies—which are the most severe.

They were most worried about milk and egg allergies.

In a way, it makes sense: Milk and eggs are used in so many dishes.

It may be harder for parents to keep track of them.

Fortunately, about two-thirds of the parents surveyed clearly understood how severe their child’s allergic reaction was. This is important because it’s necessary to have a clear plan of action to handle your child’s reactions. In severe cases, you might even need to give your child epinephrine.

Where you least expect it. Allergens can show up in unexpected places. A recent report about a skin allergy in an 11-year-old boy is a good example. Doctors finally traced the problem to the nickel in his iPad. Covering the iPad solved the problem.

According to some doctors, skin allergies like this are becoming much more common. This report is a good reminder to consider the effects of metallic electronics and other potential sources of nickel exposure such as clothing fasteners and ear piercings.

If any of your kids suffer from allergies, consult with your doctor. You might need referral to a special doctor (an allergist). I can also answer your questions about allergy medications and point you to products in our store to help ease symptoms.

A Duke Energy Water Resources Grant of $100,000 funded 70% of the trail with the City of Eden providing the additional funding required to complete the project. The Duke Energy Water Resources Fund is $10 million that has been allocated for projects that improve quality, quantity and conservation of waterways, enhance fish and wildlife habitats, expand the public use and access to waterways or increase citizens’ awareness about their roles in protecting water resources since 2014.

Eden has been the recipient of several of these grants.

City offers Development Incentive Grant to Property Owners and Developers A program that provides tax incentives for commercial property owners and developers who improve their buildings resulting in property tax increases announced in July of 2017 is being continued during the 2018-19 fiscal year by the City of Eden and Rockingham County. This program is designed to encourage the rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of commercial structures.

The program provides incentives to projects based upon increases in ad valorem taxes paid resulting from improvements made to commercial

structures. The payments will be spread over a 5- year period after they are approved by the City Council. One Historic Leaksville property owner qualified for the program in 2017-18 and others have expressed interest in the program in concert with their development plans.

The grant is available over five years, representing a percentage of the difference of the parcel’s improved assessed value and previous, unimproved assessed value. The City of Eden Commercial Development Incentive Grant (DIG) amount per year will be a percentage of

this formula as follows: Year 1: 100%, Year 2: 80%, Year 3: 60%, Year 4: 40% and Year 5: 20%. Since the tax rate and/or property valuation may change during the five-year grant period, the base grant amount will be recalculated each year.

The percentage of the base grant amount, which steps down from 100% to 20%, is fixed. For the 2016-17 Fiscal Year, the tax rate established by Rockingham County is $0.696 per $100 property valuation; in the City of Eden it is $0.609 per $100 property valuation.

Victims’ Rights on Ballot this Fall A bipartisan North Carolina Senate passed legislation in June that would let voters consider a constitutional amendment on the November 2018 ballot to expand the rights of victims of crime and their families.

A victims’ rights amendment was added to North Carolina’s Constitution in 1996, which gave some crime victims basic rights to participate in the justice system, but House Bill 551 further advances those rights by doing the following: • Expands the scope of crimes under which protections to victims are extended.

• Requires that victims receive effective and timely notice of all court proceedings.

• Expands victims’ rights to those victimized by juveniles.

• Gives victims a greater voice by allowing them to be heard at plea, conviction, sentencing or adjudication hearings.

• Creates an enforcement mechanism allowing a victim to file a motion with the court if they are being deprived of their rights.

“This really is a safety and a respect issue. Victims of crimes should not be marginalized. They have rights too, and they deserve the right to be heard, as well as the right to know what’s going on in court proceedings that involve them,” said Sen. Tamara Barringer (R-Wake). “Enshrining this amendment in the Constitution will ensure victim’s rights are enforceable and consistent across all 100 counties in North Carolina and will not be subject to legislative change.”

While protecting the rights of victims, the bill makes sure that those rights do not infringe upon the rights of the accused.

Amendment Protecting Right to Hunt and Fish on Ballot This Fall In bipartisan votes, both the NC Senate and House of Representatives passed legislation in June that will let voters choose whether to amend the North Carolina Constitution to safeguard citizens’ right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife.

“We are very pleased that North Carolinians will now have the opportunity to vote to preserve the right to hunt and fish in our state constitution,” Sens. Danny Britt (R-Robeson), Norman Sanderson (R-Pamlico) and Tom McInnis (R-Richmond) said in a joint statement. “These rights are deeply rooted in the culture of North Carolina and that is what this amendment recognizes.

We are confident that voters will agree.”

Senate Bill 677 had bipartisan support, and voters will consider the constitutional amendment on the November 2018 ballot.

Twenty-one other states already guarantee this right.

Voters to Decide on Cutting the Cap on N.C. Income Taxes A bipartisan NC Senate in June approved a proposed constitutional amendment that will empower voters to decide whether to lower the state’s maximum possible income tax rate from 10 percent to seven percent. The House of Representatives has already passed Senate Bill 75, and the measure will appear on the November 2018 ballot.

Since assuming leadership of the General Assembly in 2011, legislative Republicans have overhauled the state’s tax code, lowering rates and eliminating dozens of loopholes – resulting in the vast majority of North Carolinians keeping more of their own tax dollars. The changes have also helped create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and consecutive budget surpluses. If voters approve, the amendment will help ensure the state does not reverse course on those reforms and return to burdening North Carolinians with some of the highest taxes in the Southeast, as it did when Democrats last controlled state government in 2010.

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued this statement following the proposed amendment’s passage: “North Carolina had some of the highest taxes in the Southeast when Democrats controlled the legislature. Legislative Republicans have substantially reduced the tax burden and put more money back into the pockets of hard-working families and businesses. With this amendment, voters can say no to a return to the days of spendthrift politicians, high taxes and multi-billion dollar deficits by placing this protection in our state constitution.

Photo ID Amendment on November Ballot Voters will choose whether to make North Carolina the 34th state to require ID at the polls, after the state Senate approved a proposed constitutional amendment that will appear on the November 2018 ballot. The House of Representatives has already approved the measure.

If a majority of voters agree, the proposal will amend the state constitution to require that North Carolina citizens show photo identification in order to cast their votes in person.

Currently, North Carolina is the last state in the Southeast not to have some form of voter ID at the polls. Voter ID was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 2008.

Polls have shown voter ID is hugely popular in North Carolina and across the country: • • • • • • •

69% of North Carolinians support voter ID in Feb. 2018 Civitas Poll 70% of likely U.S. voters support voter ID in Aug. 2017 Rasmussen Poll 68% of North Carolinians support voter ID in May 2017 Civitas Poll 80% of registered U.S. voters support voter ID in Aug. 2016 Gallup Poll 70%of registered U.S. voters support voter ID in May 2014 Fox News Poll 73% of North Carolinians support voter ID in March 2012 Elon Poll 75% of likely U.S. voters support voter ID in June 2011 Rasmussen Poll

“For years, the overwhelming majority of North Carolinians have voiced strong support for requiring photo ID at the polls,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham.) “People know it’s just common sense. This amendment gives North Carolinians – not judges or politicians – the right to decide if photo ID should be part of our state’s constitution.”

From Root to Branch Local Geneology Studies By Elvin Perkins, Jr.

The Search for Henry Hill I’ve stated before that genealogy is one of the most popular and fastest growing hobbies in the United States, second only to coin collecting. At some point in your life you may begin to question who your ancestors were.

The reasons you begin to research can vary. Having served in the military I wondered what ancestors before me had done the same. That began my journey to learn more about my family. Others may need to know more for family health concerns or those who may have been adopted are seeking to learn who they are.

Cornard K. Hill became interested in his HILL antecedents years ago after serving in the United States Air Force for twenty years, and retiring in Pensacola, Florida. In the following article written by Cornard he explains his journey to discover his family roots.

“Researching Hill family members in my birthplace of Eden, Rockingham County, North Carolina (Leaksville - where I was born in 1932) proved to be an interesting undertaking.

However, it did not take me long to ascertain that my great-greatGrandfather was named Henry Hill. That information I obtained from my father’s (Connard Lee Hill) sister.

Henry, I discovered, is first identifiable via a marriage bond, in Rockingham County, dated 23 January 1845, which he took out in order to marry Lucy Jane Buress. (Zachariah Sneed was the bondsman and John P. Grogan was the Justice of the Peace.) The 1850 census for Rockingham County shows Henry as a day laborer, and the census of 1860 shows him as a farmer. Until I began my research no member of the older generations of our Hill family, with whom I consulted knew anything about Henry’s eventual whereabouts. Indeed, one elderly Hill descendant said that all she knew about Henry’s eventual whereabouts was “that he disappeared”, or so her mother had told her.

After an extensive correspondence, with numerous folks by the name of Hill, I encountered, by mail, one of my grandfather’s (Anthony “Tony” Lee Hill) brother’s, son - James Robert Hill - who, at the time, was living in Atlanta, Georgia. In his reply he said, “Yes, I know what happened to Henry, and what almost happened to your greatGrandfather Hardin H. Hill.”

It seems that during the time of the Civil War the Confederate Government was involved in building a railroad to Greensboro, North Carolina from Danville, Virginia. (Mr. Jerry C. Cashion, N.C. Dept. of Cultural Resources, informed me of some of the facts concerning the construction of the Piedmont Railroad Company, which was chartered in 1862 and

construction was supervised by Confederate Army engineers.) It also appears that farmers along the right-of-way of the railroad being built could leave stacks of wood near the right-of-way for use in the wood-burning locomotives of the time. For this act those leaving the wood would be compensated in some fashion.

James Robert Hill recounted how Hardin H. Hill told him that in the latter part of 1863, Henry, Hardin and Alexander (another son of Henry, but only a young boy) were working in the fields near the railroad track, previously mentioned. Hardin had been sent to get some water for the men. While at a spring, obtaining water, a black man came running up to him and said words to the effect, “Run, hide!

The Army got those other men!”

Hardin ran home, told his mother what he had been told and she hid him in the attic of their cabin. It was not long before a Confederate Army patrol came looking for men of an age suitable for enlistment in the army.

Hardin, at the time, was approximately sixteen years of age.

Since Henry appears on the roster of Company A, 45th Regiment of North Carolina Troops (Confederate) as of 10 November 1863, it is logical to presume Henry was conscripted from the fields of Rockingham County to serve in that Company A. (Source; National Archives, Atlanta Branch; the book, “North Carolina Troops 1861 – 1865, A Roster, Vol. XI, Infantry, 45th – 48th Regiments,” page 15.)

As you may know, those of you who have studied the War Between the States, North Carolina troops took heavy casualties at the battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.

My presumption is that Company A, 45th Regiment of N.C. Troops, had Conscription teams in the field to replenish the ranks of their unit. And that, being the case, is how Henry Hill came to be a Private in their ranks. Records for that unit show that Henry was present for duty until his death on 18 January 1864, at Orange Court House, Virginia, dying of an unstated type of disease. The Quartermaster Corps of the Confederate Army received from The Register of Effects of Deceased Soldiers, $10.00 in pay due to Henry. I have been unable to ascertain whether or not his widow, my great-greatGrandmother Lucy Jane Buress Hill, received that money.

In 1885, my great-greatGrandmother Hill resided in the area of Matrimony Post Office in Rockingham County. On July 6, 1885 she appeared before the Clerk of Superior Court (John T. Pannill) for Rockingham County, North Carolina and initiated a Widow’s Claim for Pension under the provisions of an act entitled, An Act for the

Perkins Relief of Certain Soldiers in the Late War Between the States (the act was ratified on 11 March 1885, in North Carolina.)

She stated her age as fifty years, and attested to the fact that her husband, Henry Hill, had served in Company A, 45th Regiment of North Carolina Troops, and had died while in service with that unit. I believe her age to be in error, since she and Henry were married in January 1845.

Her claim for a pension was denied on 20 July 1885, by the Board of Inquiry of Rockingham County, because Henry Hill’s name was not on the rolls for Company A, 45th Regiment of North Carolina Troops. Since we now know that Henry’s name is today included on the roster for that unit, I have often wondered if Lucy ever received justice with her claim. Her claim for a pension, dated 6 July 1885, is the final evidence of her existence that I have been able to discover.

Likewise, Henry Hill’s place of burial is one of those items lost in time. I have, over the years, exchanged correspondence with the Director, Cemetery Service, Veterans Administration, Department of Memorial Affairs, Washington, D.C.; Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Vital Records, Richmond, Virginia; and telephone contact has been had with personnel in the National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. None of the aforementioned agencies have any record of a burial site for Henry Hill.”

YMCA After School – building a solid foundation for success With busy families juggling the demands of work, activities, and family time, after school care is often a necessity. Beyond the convenience and scheduling benefits of after school care, there are real, documented benefits in terms of a child’s overall wellbeing and success.

In 2008, the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) published a report that summarizes 10 years of research on after school programs. The study found that after school programs make a positive impact on the academic success, social development, health, and safety of children who participate. The report identified three factors that are essential for success: 1) access to and sustained participation in the program, 2) quality programming and staffing, and 3) strong partnerships among the program and other places where students are learning; for instance, their schools, their homes, and other community institutions, such as the YMCA. Five YMCA of Greensboro locations sponsor after school programs, either on-site at the YMCA or at nearby schools. In Rockingham County, the Eden Family YMCA sponsors after school programs at Central Elementary and Leaksville-Spray Elementary.

The Reidsville YMCA sponsors programs at South End Elementary and Williamsburg Elementary and students from Monroeton

Elementary and Moss Street Elementary are transported to South End Elementary.

When Lauren Blue began looking for an after school program for her daughter, Kennedy, the Mary Perry Ragsdale Family YMCA was a natural fit.

“Kennedy had been in a wonderful daycare, so when it came time for her to start kindergarten, it was important for us to find an after school program with which she would be familiar. Kennedy had taken swim lessons at the Y, so she was already comfortable,” says Blue. Kennedy enjoys a consistent environment yearround, since she also attends Camp Boomerang at the Ragsdale YMCA in the summer.

It is crucial for parents and guardians to trust and know that their children are in a safe, familiar environment.

Studies by Brandeis University’s Community, Families, and Work program show that parents concerned about their children’s after school care miss an average of eight days of work per year. This causes strain on the entire family, and in the workplace. In addition to standard hours, the YMCA after school programs are also open when local schools are closed for teacher workdays (for full-time after school program participants), which keeps parents from having to miss work or make alternative arrangements for care.

The YMCA of Greensboro

after school programs offer structured time for sessions like homework assistance, snack, arts and crafts, STEM activities, character building, sports and fitness, outdoor games, board games, and swimming (frequency varies by location). Some locations even offer piano lessons or tutoring, so children can participate in activities while they’re at the YMCA, without interrupting family time.

Lauren Blue appreciates that the YMCA challenges Kennedy to step outside of her comfort zone and try new things, like the rock climbing wall. “The fitness classes and swimming are her favorite activities,” says Blue.

The Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) emphasizes the importance of fun, saying that balancing academic support with engaging, fun, and structured activities, appears to support and improve academic performance. Is Kennedy Blue having fun? Ask her, “What was your favorite part of kindergarten, Kennedy?” She’ll tell you, “after school.”

The YMCA of Greensboro believes that all members of the community should be able to participate in YMCA programs, regardless of income or background; therefore, some scholarships are available for eligible families.

Reidsville cares about health

Did You Know?

From www.ci.reidsville.nc.us.

Eden Has Plenty of Water & Sewer Capacity for Potential Large Users

One of the best forms of exercise is simply walking. The City of Reidsville provides its residents with 1.3 miles of walking trails as part of our Greenways system. Reidsville Jaycee Park Trail is a 1.1 mile path connecting Reidsville Middle and High schools on South Park Drive with the Jaycee Park Recreation Area. The Jaycee Trail Extension connects the ballpark to the lower Jaycee Park on South Scales Street. The Sherwood Trail has also been completed, but it doesn't stop there. If you love historic buildings you can take a walking tour prepared by the City's Historic Preservation Commission.

Reidsville's two historic districts are special because they are examples of domestic architec-

ture and city planning from just prior to the turn of the century up to the beginning of the Second World War. They reflect the styles of the time, ranging from Queen Anne to the popular Foursquare and Craftsman Bungalow structures, as well as the prosperity of Reidsville's days as an important tobacco products producing center. Take a stroll through these lovely neighborhoods on the Historic District Walking Tour.

A brochure is available with a historical synopsis of the houses on the walking tour. If you prefer the downtown area of Reidsville, the Reidsville Downtown Corporation and City of Reidsville have compiled a walking tour of the sights and attractions of the downtown area. ( brochures are available at City Hall and the chamber and online at www.ci.reidsville.nc.us.)

The City of Eden Water Filtration Plant is rated at 20.6 million gallons (MGD) a day.

However, during the month of December 2017 the water plant averaged treating 3.74 million gallons of raw water per day and distributed an average of 3.02 MGD. The Mebane Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant is permitted for 13.5 MGD, but since the closure of Hanesbrands, the plant has only been averaging between 2.5 and 4.0 MGD. As you can see, Eden has plenty of water and sewer capacity for potential large users.

Bethany, Jacobs Creek and Northwest Rockingham Fire Departments Receive New Insurance Rating North Carolina Insurance Commissioner / State Fire Marshal Mike Causey has announced that the Bethany Fire Department, Jacobs Creek Fire Department, and the Northwest Rockingham Fire Department completed their inspection and received Fire Insurance Ratings of 5/9E for the Bethany Fire Department, a 6/9E for the Jacobs Creek Fire Department, and a 6/9E for the Northwest Rockingham Fire Department effective 11-01-2018.

The fire departments previous rating were: Bethany 7/9E, Jacobs Creek 8/9E, and Northwest Rockingham 9E. The districts past 5 mile travel from the fire station will remain a protection class 9E. The inspection is required on a regular basis as part of the North Carolina Response Rating System (NCRRS). Among other things, the routine inspections look for proper staffing levels, sufficient equipment, and proper maintenance of equipment, communications capabilities and available water source.

The NCRRS rating system ranges from a 1 (highest) to a 10 (lowest) rating with most rural department’s falling into the 9S category. While lower ratings do not necessarily indicate poor service, a higher does suggest that a department is overall better equipped to respond to fires in its district. Higher ratings can also significantly lower homeowners insurance rates in that fire district. A rating of a 5 or below can lower insurance ratings for businesses and commercial properties.

Causey congratulated the Bethany Fire Department, Jacob’s Creek Fire Department, and the Northwest Rockingham Fire

Reidsville & Wentworth Roaming Around Reidsville

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

I have always thought Reidsville is a picturesque City with lovely older homes and a quaint downtown. The addition of local artist Brad Spencer’s brick sculptures and scenic spots like Mural Park and Kelly’s Way have only added to the City’s downtown appeal.

But you can’t rest on your laurels! Enter Project DREAM, otherwise known as the “Downtown Reidsville Empowering Art Movement”.

This initiative of the Reidsville Downtown Corporation (RDC) is part of that group’s vision to enhance Reidsville’s downtown so that visitors and residents can enjoy a “unique and diverse” experience. So how are they planning to accomplish this?

One way is to increase art in the downtown area through a variety of ways. Building on the rebirth of street art throughout the United States, the RDC has a four-phase plan to help beautify the downtown while, hopefully,

enticing more shoppers into our local stores.

Project DREAM is spearheaded by RDC board member Melanie Morrison, who has been working extremely hard to make this project a reality. The first

of when that mural was commissioned for the then-Reidsville Post Office in 1938.

Plans are for the City’s newest mural to provide a snapshot of present-day Reidsville, but I don’t want to give away

phase is to establish a new mural in downtown Reidsville. Our City is no stranger to murals.

Back in 1985, the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce and the City of Reidsville helped create the area’s first outdoor mural, which depicts a historical Reidsville. Another indoor mural done by noted artist Gordon Samstag is located at nearby Reidsville City Hall, a reminder

too much about the content! In order to help make this happen, the City’s Planning Board and City Council will be considering in late September an amendment to Reidsville’s Sign Ordinance, adding a section on original art murals. Following the necessary approvals, the mural will be located on the side of a local downtown business, thanks to the monetary contribution of a kind benefactor. The plan is for Reidsville artist Mary E. D. Ryan to be painting on the mural as part of the City’s annual Fall Jubilee on Saturday, October 20.

By that time, the hope is that the mural will be nearing completion so that visitors will be able to see this “art in the making”.

What a great idea!

“This is a perfect example of community collaboration among numerous entities,” said Jeff Garstka, City Economic Development Director and RDC Board Member. “Under the leadership of President Eric Smith, the RDC has taken the lead in partnering with the City on the DREAM project. And I understand Mr. Smith has plans of his own for a mural/art on the side of the Lucky City Brewing building.”

Reidsville Kiwanis Club President Johnny Hoover with Colin Pruitt who received the Kiwanis Club Scholarship worth $500 to attend the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill this Fall. Colin is a graduate of Rockingham County High School and son of Mark and Wendi Pruitt.

The second phase of the Project DREAM is already in the works. The RDC has identified 15 fire hydrants that can be painted with unique designs.

Artists were invited to submit potential designs to the RDC by August 24. Of course, there were a few stipulations per Fire Chief David Bracken. The fire hydrant “bonnets” or tops will have to be blue, green or red because of regulations for hydrants and their use by fire departments.

Nothing can be attached to them and camouflage is a “no-no” since the Fire Department must ensure hydrant visibility. As with the murals, fire hydrants can’t endorse a commercial business.

And of course, no inappropriate or offensive words or imagery will be allowed.

The RDC plans to have a one-day Paint Party for artists to paint their hydrants sometime in September. If an artist can’t attend the one-day paint party, they must complete their hydrant

by October 1.

The third phase of Project Dream will be filling vacant store windows with art, silhouettes of people/business activities and other designs. It has been shown that showcasing such art in empty storefronts not only improves the look of downtown but also helps properties look more appealing to potential buyers. It’s a “win-win” for the community!

And finally, the fourth phase of this endeavor is painting utility boxes, again with cute, whimsical designs that will attract the eye and improve the appearance of what is typically considered an eyesore. Like the other efforts we’ve mentioned, the RDC believes these metal

utility boxes and meter boxes with unique art will be great conversation pieces and another reason to stroll the streets of downtown Reidsville.

As RDC officials have said, the hope for Project DREAM is to “put more feet on the downtown streets, more shoppers in our stores and more money back into the local economy.” Hats off to the RDC and Melanie Morrison for looking for creative ways to bring people to downtown Reidsville. The RDC, assisted by Main Street Manager Missy Matthews and Economic Development Director Jeff Garstka, has been working to ensure that downtown Reidsville is a vibrant, diverse and creative City center for many years to come.

We are thrilled to see our community pulling together for projects such as these. It’s all about becoming a part of “Team Reidsville”. You can either be on the sidelines and complain about things or you can be pro-active, taking to the field and creating a positive environment that people want to visit or be a part of, whether you are here for the day or you’ve lived here all your lives. It is often said that for any community, the hardest thing to do is to sell a City to its own residents! We have even taken the “Team Reidsville” concept to our local stores and encouraged retailers like Walmart to establish a line of “Team Reidsville” shirts, which they did. The tshirts hit the stores in August.

If you want the look of a more traditional jersey, then visit the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce, which has them for sale in a variety of sizes at its downtown Reidsville office. We hope you will support Walmart and the Chamber by purchasing these shirts and showing that you are proud to be a part of “Team Reidsville” and our Community of Champions.

Reidsville & Wentworth Animals find Fur-ever homes at shelter event

by Sue Orellana

NBC and Telemundo stations teamed up with multiple of shelters across the United States and hosted Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption drive on Saturday, August 18. Their mission was to help find loving homes for animals in need. More than 150,000 pets have found their fur-ever homes since 2015.

Last month, Rockingham County Animal Shelter at 250 Cherokee Camp Road in Reidsville participated in the nationwide event with feewaived adoptions. Petsence® offered free nail trims and had dog food to purchase for the shelter at discounted rates and donated a generous amount of dog food to the shelter.

There was music, raffle drawings, and free goodie bags to many animal adopters! Clear the Shelter in Rockingham County placed 49 animals with loving families. Golden tickets are on the now empty kennels of

newly adopted pets as seen on the Rockingham Animal Shelter Facebook page. The shelter encourages the community to donate to the shelter wherever possible as it supports events like this and makes adoption possible for animals who would otherwise be forgotten.

The Shelter sends a big thank you to Aspen Bakery and Coffee shop, Petsence® of Reidsville, along with their groomer, and Drive 4 Shelter and our many volunteers that came to help. Without the help of the community this event would not have been such a huge success!

There is still a need for puppy chow and donations are needed. If you are interested in being a volunteer or being a sponsor you can visit the Facebook page, check out their website at https://rockinghamcountyanimalshelter.org/ or call them at (336) 394-0075.

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.

Madison NC is brimming with excitement as the September 22nd Bicentennial celebration approaches. Many of the townspeople, merchants and business owners have been extraordinarily busy this year.

Beautifully composed banners, flags and posters designed by Alan Joyce, owner of Inkternal Art Studio and President of the Madison Merchants Guild, have been meticulously placed and now deck the streets and businesses of the historical district of Madison.

You may have witnessed an extra bustle and action in Madison as fireworks have been tested and last-minute touches are made to prepare for the biggest birthday bash that Madison has ever seen.

Historical Demonstrations and Games Kid’s Bounce All Day for $5

September 22nd downtown Madison will block off its downtown streets and fill them with live music from 2 stages, tons of vendors, classic cars, games and historic memorabilia.

The museum will be open on Hunter Street AKA “Bicentennial Avenue” for the community to view the contents of newly unearthed Time Capsule from Madison’s Sesquicentennial celebration.

Presentations and demos of various trades, clothing, photos, antiques, food trucks of all kinds including chicken, waffles, Indonesian and American food will be available. There will be contests and prizes, $5 wristbands for children to enjoy bounce houses ALL DAY LONG, face painting, free oldtime games like tug-of-war, egg & spoon races, hopscotch, and fish ponds. There is expected to be more at this event than Madison has ever seen before!

A shuttle will run from from the old Kmart parking lot, and parking is available along the town streets when you can find it, but vendors ask for you to please not park in their spaces.

The Madison Merchants Guild has outdone themselves this time. They not only utilized their unique talents in preparation for the event, but a sense of comradery has developed, and appreciation has grown amongst the merchants as they have supported one another.

The event has been in the works for over a year when Mavis Dillon, Director of the Western Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and owner of Southern Spirits teamed up with Kathy Miller, of Madison Dry Goods and Treasurer of the MM Guild to become Co-chairs of the event. Since then many have stepped up to the plate and put forth tremendous effort. Running the media and gaining the exciting momentum on Facebook is Jennifer and Chas Scott, owners of Eclectic Calico. Penny Jones, owner of the PB&J Boutique is always lending a helping hand.

Christy Fox, of Mr.

Promotions has been exceptionally reliable. Travis and Trenton Phelps of Candy-Man Creations have really stepped up to the plate to find over 110 vendors with a large waiting list to fill spots if anyone cancels and have helped with many other various tasks!

Alan and Brandi Joyce of Inkternal Art Studio, have taken charge and have exhibited such effort in the artistic components as well as the time-consuming aspect of being President of the Guild.

Of course, the entire community has worked so hard and has been in action behind the scenes along with Richard Miller, Owner of Madison Dry Goods, Howie from Ray’s Funeral Home, neighboring businesses, townspeople, various volunteers including named and anonymous sponsors.

One sponsor who wanted to remain unnamed generously donated $10,000 for the fireworks display which will take place over the infamous town clock for a spectacular show that will last nearly 20 minutes at the end of the event.

The McMichael Band Boosters have 35 students signed up to volunteer the day of the event which is commendable for so many young people to be involved as this is the next generation that will be caring for and putting forth effort into our beloved community! They are not the only youth to sign up to work the event, but 16-year-old Trenton Phelps will have his volunteer group, “Your Community United Juniors” at the celebration.

If anyone is interested in being a volunteer for the event, a meal will be provided. Simply contact a member of the Madison Merchants Guild, sign up and make sure you get a volunteer badge on the day of the event! Madison invites everyone to come enjoy the fun, the history, the music and the community as they celebrate the 200th birthday of their wonderful community. This is one event that you do not want to miss!

It’s that time of the year...

Madison / Mayodan / Stoneville Madison’s History revisited

New Lpcatopm But Our Quality of Service is the Same...

Submitted by Madison Town Manager Kevin Baughn and Amy ‘Roberst of Planning Zoning

The history of Madison dates back to the 1700’s when the Saura Indians lived along the Dan and Mayo Rivers since the river provided fertile soil for crops and fish for food. History states that the Dan River was named for Danaho, an early Saura chieftain and the Mayo River was named for one of William Byrd’s surveyors, who, in 1728, dubbed this region “The Wonderful Land of Eden” due to its local beauty. Settlers of mainly Scotch-Irish descent embarked upon the land about 1730, following Mr. Byrd’s survey to tame the wilderness until about the year 1760.

Lord Granville, the British Lord Proprietor for this area was one of the last Lord Proprietors to relinquish his land to the Crown. John Jude, and early settlers purchased the land that is now Madison from the Crown in 1752 and sold the land to Edmund Brewer in 1760. In 1786, Edmund Brewer sold the land to Joseph Scales, who died ten years later leaving the property to his sons Joseph and Robert Scales. Significantly, on September 19, 1810, Peter Scales purchased 324 acres from

the Scales Brothers, the acreage for which Madison was established at a cost of $2500.00 With river commerce flourishing, the Roanoke Navigation Company was searching for town locations near rivers so markets would be near the main source of transportation. The Navigation Company proposed three towns of which, only Madison survived.

In 1815 a group men, known as Joshua Smith, Richard Wall, Nichols Dalton, John Guy and Joel Cardwell obtained legislature to establish a Town named Madison near the conflux of the Mayo and Dan Rivers. These men, who were late appointed as the first Town Commissioners, encouraged Randal Duke Scales to secure 324 acres of land from his father Peter Scales on May 10, 1818.

Mr. Scales platted 96 half-acre lots with designated streets and proposed a land auction for the purpose of establishing the Town of Madison. On June 3, 1818, the first day of auction, five lots were sold at prices ranging from $67.00 to $100.00 per lot to Powhattan May, John Guy, William & Zacharia

Fewell, Thomas Smith, Louis Peeples, John Scales, John Menzies and James E. Galloway.

The newly established Town of Madison was four blocks long and four blocks wide running east to west and north to south with streets that were 66 feet wide and included 50 feet for thoroughfare and 8 feet for walks on either side and no additional streets were added until 1890. All streets began streets began at the high water line except for Water Street and when it flooded, there was no access to the river except by ferry.

Academy Street served as the focal point for social and educational activities during early years and was unpaved but well-kept with flintrocks that prevented deep mud and miring of wagon wheels. As Madison began to take shape, schools, homes, churches and business laid the foundation of the Town, specifically along Academy Street. Beulah Academy was a

Beside, Beulah Academy was a “free school” that operated only during the winter months in the first residence built on Academy Street. Opposite Beulah Academy was the Hopper House, built in 1820 and behind the Hopper House, toward the river were several cabins for African Americans, known as “Washpot Row” since large iron pots lined the yards where women did laundry for the families they worked for. The Methodist Church was built in 1845 and most of the early townspeople who belonged to the church were active in the development of Madison.

Beside the church, the James Cardwell family owned a large frame dwelling that was designed to prevent a fire since the first home built by the Cardwells burned to the ground on a Sunday afternoon. Across the street around 1825, Randal Duke Scales built two homes, one large for the family and one small for the slaves, as a wedding gift to his daughter Elizabeth when she married Joseph Twitchell. Rural Retreat, now the Boxwoods, was the home Randal Duke Scales built in 1798 on a bluff facing the Dan River bottomlands. Around 1860, John duPuy Watkins and wife Phoebe lived in Rural Retreat and Mrs. Watkins brought in over 1000 boxwoods from Virginia to border the house.

Self-sufficiency was the only way to survive life in early Madison and most homes used what little acreage they had to raise fruits, vegetables, poultry, hogs and horses. Fruits were dried and stored for winter use and vegetables were stored in crocks until glass canning was developed in the late 1890’s and made it possible to store anything. Nature provided an abundance of creases, wild strawber-

ries, blackberries and onions, while the river provided fish and wooded areas were games for hunters of birds, turkeys, rabbits and squirrel.

Businesses began to open in Madison and included Trader P. Swaney Black’s General Store that was next door to Alex Searcy’s display for wagons, carriages and buggies, McGeheeCarter-Andrews Store opened about 1840, a drug store was opened in 1856 by Frank and Abner McGehee and Hoskins and Woodburn opened a store at the corner of Market and Murphy Street. In 1856, a drugstore was opened by Staples and Gallaway next door to James Churchill’s tin shop and G. Fel’s opened a clothing store in 1859.

There were several general store keepers in early years including John duPry Watkins, William Scales, Sam Smith, D. W. Busick, James Apple, Robert Nelson and Jabez Gravelly.

Around 1900, several African Americans began opening small independent businesses on the western end of Murphy Street including Armestead Williams’ restaurant, Jethro Franklin’s pressing club, Nat Wall’s blacksmith shop and Thomas Scales shoe shop.

Tobacco was a high demand commodity and employer in the 1800’s due to Madisons’ location on the Dan and Mayor Rivers that provided fertile soil for cultivation. Randal Duke Scales owned the first plug tobacco factory or “stemmery” in Madison with his son-in-law Joseph Twitchell on the back lot of Twitchell’s property on Academy Street. With its success, others including Nicholas Dalton, William Scales, Pleasant Scales and James Webster built tobacco factories and manufactured plug tobacco between 1840 and 1850 and until mid-1870, Nathaniel Pitcher Scales and General Thomas owned a large two-story frame building on Decatur Street to work tobacco. Plug tobacco dwindled and the leaf tobacco

Madison / Mayodan & Stoneville trade developed after the Civil War and packhouses were built to care for the leaves until they could be packed and shipped.

One large packhouse later became Gem Dandy, two were located on Hunter Street and one just a block west of Hunter Street. Samuel and Zachariah Wall built the first tobacco sales warehouse at the corner of Hunter and Franklin Street.

In 1914 the Penn Brothers Suspender Company was organized by Harry, George and Howard Penn and operated until 1920 when Green Penn bought out the business to pursue his patented invention of an adjustable lady’s garter. Penn termed his successful garter the “gem dandy” and Gem Dandy Garter Company was incorporated in 1921 with Green Penn as president and Paul Rierson as superintendent. The business added children and men’s garters, suspenders, belts, ties lingerie and foundation garments and was renamed in 1941 to Gem Dandy, Inc. Gem Dandy has had numerous expansions over the years and is still a thriving business in 2017.

In 1947, D. L. McMichael, W. J. Armstrong and C. T. Sutherland organized Madison Throwing Company with operations in the “Old Armory” before building more than ten plants and employing over 3000 employees. Madison Throwing Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Burlington Industries by 1970.

In order to understand how Madison arrived at where it is today, we must first understand how it became known as the Town of Madison and the individuals that followed a vision over 200 years ago. We hope you join us in celebrating 200 years of Madison History in 2018.

It can be a death sentence to feral or even tame cats that are picked up by Animal Control. Saddly, tame cats can be mistaken for ferals in a shelter environment.

Ferals are the first put down at RCAS. There are proper ways to deal with nuisance cats and I can help you! The cat shouldn’t have to die.

Brandy Reavis says, “Feral/community cats are very close to my heart and they are at such a disadvantage. We are working with other groups & community members to build a year round pet food pantry.”

Reavis adds, “I would love to see all cats in Rockingham County sterilized. This will help end suffering.” She asks that if you need help getting cats sterilized, please contact her at bgreavis@gmail.com and she will gladly provide you with resources to have it done. She is also taking any kind of cat food for the pet food pantry donations and all cat related supplies. She says they are in need of several drop off locations that will be ok working with us year round, hoping to place large boxes at these locations.

Reavis and friends will be hosting a meet and greet at Riverfest and October 10, 6pm-8pm at Red River Grill in Eden.

There will be nformation on what the group does, sterilization assistance info, feral/community cat education, tee shirt sales, raffles, & cat food drive. Don’t miss it.

The group will also be selling advertisement space on the backs of the shirts. All proceeds will go to stocking the pet food pantry, helping people with spay/neutering cats, cat/dog houses, & proper tethering equipment for needy pets, and hope to hold a Brunswick Stew November 10th and the time, place, & price are to be announced soon.

We are looking forward to better lives for our community cats. Reavis notes that at this time they have 7 adoptable cats in their program.

Citizens Academy Update The 2018 Citizen’s Academy is scheduled to get underway on August 16. We have 16 individuals that will be participating in the 2018 academy. They include: Karen Williams, Chris Burns, Nicole Burns, Michael Hutchinson, Andrea Fox, Jon Land, Sherry Hall, Tanya Harris, Clara Ann Williams, Carol Bailey, Norma Purcell, Heather Castle, Angela Fowler, Carla Rodgers, Jeffrey Starnes and JeSie Morris.

The schedule for the 2018 academy is as follows: September 6: Public Utilities, Water Filtration Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant September 13: Municipal Services Dept. (Streets, Solid

Waste, Fleet Maintenance, & Collection & Dist.) and the Engineering Dept.

September 20: Economic & Tourism Development Department September 27: Parks, Recreation, Facilities & Grounds Department October 4: Planning & Inspections Department & Positively Eden Strategic Plan October 11: Finance & Human Resources Department October 16: City Council Meeting - Graduation ECONOMIC & TOURISM DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Berry Hill Regional Mega Park The Economic Development Administration gave final approval to the scope of work change for the water line project securing the $2 million grant they had previously approved. In addition, in the recently approved state budget the NC General Assembly included $1 million in funding for Eden to use for water line extension work. This $1 million in grant funding will be used to help extend a waterline to the Berry Hill Regional Mega Park.

This brings the total amount of grant funding for this initiative to more than $4 million for the estimated $7.5 million project.

Special thanks to Senator Berger for his efforts and support in obtaining these funds for our community.

Since being ranked the #3 location for the Toyota-Mazda project that ultimately went to Huntsville, Alabama, the interest in the mega park has increased dramatically. It should be noted that the Alabama site where Toyota-Mazda located was in development for more than twenty years before landing this project, so sometimes it takes time to land a large company.

Currently, several projects are considering the various sites within the mega park. In addition, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is working to improve access to the park since transportation is such an important element in attracting companies.

Area Companies Hiring Gildan, KDH Defense Systems, Loparex, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Glass Dynamics (they need CDL drivers and other employees), Hampton Inn, Di’Lishi Frozen Yogurt, Cook Out, and Papa John’s are all now hiring. Please stop by these locations to learn more about the available jobs.

and counselors for an industry bus tour on a regularly scheduled teacher work day. RCC will end the tour with a luncheon and discussion of the workforce development programs available now and those coming with the development of the workforce center. This is being done to familiarize teachers and counselors with the available career opportunities at Eden companies.

For the Fun of it...

Lights Two guys are driving down 5th Avenue in Manhattan when they come up to a red light. The guy driving slams the gas pedal and they go zooming past the red light. His friend looks at him and says, "Hey, you just went through a red light." The guy driving says, "Don't worry about it. My brother does it all the time." So they keep driving and they come to a second red light. The guy driving slams on the gas pedal and zooms past another red light. His friend is pretty mad, looks at him and says, "Hey man, you just went through another red light. What the heck are you doing?" The guy driving tells his friend, "Don't worry about it. My brother does this all the time." They come to a third red light and the guy driving slams on the gas, zooming past the red light.

His friend starts screaming at him, "What the heck? You're going to get us killed! Pull over and let me out." The guy driving screams back at him, "I'm telling you: don't worry about it. My brother, he does it all the time." So they keep driving and they come to a green light. The guy driving slams on the brakes. His friend looks at him and says, "Are you out of your mind? What the heck is wrong with you? You go flying past three red lights, almost getting us killed, and then you slam on the brakes when you have a green light?" The guy driving looks at his friend and says, "I had to stop; my brother might have been coming."

Plane Crash There was a plane and it had 5 people in it: a president, a lawyer, a young teenage boy, a priest and a blonde girl. The plane driver said that the plane was going to crash so one of them has to jump off without a parachute because there was only 4 so they were talking to each other about who was going to jump off without a parachute. The president spoke first and he said " I run a part of this earth so I should get a parachute" so he jumped off with one. Then the blonde girl spoke and she said " I look beautiful so I should get one too" so she jumped off with one. The next person to speak was the lawyer and he said " I help people solve their problems so I should get one" so he jumped off with one. Now there was only two people left: a priest and the teenage boy.

The priest said to the boy " here you take the last parachute and go because you will live a longer life then me" but then the boy said "no, it's all right because there is still 2 parachutes left. The blonde girl only took my backpack".

Train Lady: "Is this my train?"

Station Master: "No, it belongs to the railway company."

Lady: "Don’t try to be funny. I mean to ask if I can take this train to New York."

Station Master: "No Madam, I’m afraid it’s too heavy."

Talking Dog

Marry

A guy spots a sign outside a house that reads “Talking Dog for Sale.”

Intrigued, he walks in. “So what have you done with your life?” he asks the dog. “I've led a very full life,” says the dog. “I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Iraq.

And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a retirement home.” The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog’s owner, “Why on earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?” The owner says, “Because he’s a liar! He never did any of that!”

Dad: Son, I want you to marry a girl of my choice.

Son: No. Dad: The girl is Bill Gate's daughter.

Son: Okay then!

Dad goes to Bill Gate.

Dad: I want your daughter to marry my son.

Bill Gates: No. Dad: My son is the CEO of the world's greatest bank.

Bill Gates: Okay then!

Dad goes to the CEO of the world's greatest bank.

Dad: Make my son the CEO. CEO: No. Dad: My son is the son-in-law of Bill Gates.

CEO: Okay then!

This is BUSINESS.

Made In An Indian cab driver picked up a Japanese man from a hotel. Along the way, they saw a Honda motorcycle overtake the taxicab and the Japanese guy said, "Motorcycle very fast, made in Japan." Then a Toyota car overtook the taxicab and the Japanese guy said, "Car very fast, made in Japan." When they reached the destination the fare was 1500 rupees. The Japanese man thought the ride was would only cost 500 rupees. He asked the driver why the ride was so expensive. The driver said, "Meter very fast, made in India."

Judges Two judges were stumbling home from their local pub, arms around each other, loudly singing Kenny Rodgers. "Hey," said one, "I think we're drunk." "You are right, and according to the law I will have to charge you with being drunk and disorderly," said his mate. "And you will have to appear before me at 10AM tomorrow," said the first. Next morning in court, the first pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $10. They then switched places. "Drunk and disorderly, eh? You are fined $20." "Hey," protested the first, "When I was in was in chair I only fined you $10!" "Yes," said the second judge, "But the offence is becoming too common. You are the second drunk to appear before the court this morning."

Vincent: “One dollar.”

Teacher: “You don’t know your arithmetic.”

Western Rockingham Treasures

Western Vista I can’t imagine living life with no sweet watermelon pieces to savor during a hot and humid summer afternoon. But it could happen one day – if the tiny hard workers who are responsible for the growth and prosperity of this wonderful North Carolina crop aren’t around to do their job.

Yes, those little industrious honey bees that you hardly notice play a vital role in the production of our food supply, as well as fabrics, nuts and flavorings! They are the premiere pollinators of our food crops, and without them, many fruits and vegetables would disappear.

Fruits and vegetables such as apples, peaches, pears, okra, strawberries, onions, cashews, lima beans, green beans, cherries, lemons, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, black eyed peas, and of course, watermelon, would no longer be available. Products such as cotton and vanilla would cease to exist. If the thought of a barren life without these healthy and nutritious foods upsets you, there are actions you can begin taking to preserve bees and their habitats. A staggering 90 percent of all crops need to be pollinated, and honey and bumble bees are the only ones who can do the job. No, it’s not just honey -- it’s the food on our tables every day. The food chain would collapse without the bees doing their job.

Every third spoonful of food you put in your mouth can be attributed to the honey bee.

North Carolina has more beekeepers than any other state.

Francin Association has about 75 members, with about 25 located in the Western area of the County.

The Rockingham County Beekeepers holds a monthly meeting on the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Agricultural Center in Wentworth. The members do outreach talks and presentations to civic groups, as well as schools.

Yes, being pro-active in helping to preserve the humble honey bee can mean having food that is delicious and nutritious, and perfect for a warm afternoon to refresh and hydrate ourselves and bring back many sweet memories of family and church gatherings and homecomings.

Sheriff Asks Citizens to be Considerate When Mowing Recently, the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office has received several complaints about residents blowing grass clippings into the roadway while mowing. Although there is no law specifically against this in North Carolina, Sheriff Sam Page asks that citizens be considerate of their neighbors and motorists by making sure to blow their grass clippings back towards their property or use a bagging attachment.

"Not only do we want to keep Rockingham County beautiful, but grass clippings in the roadway poses a potential safety hazard to motorcyclists", said Sheriff Sam Page. "Someone might get hurt, which we don't want to see happen. When you mow, please be courteous and blow your grass clippings back onto your property; it's just the right thing to do."

• TRAFFIC ISLAND BETWEEN TACO BELL AND RUBY TUESDAY Restaurants The traffic island located at the Wal-Mart entrance off of Van Buren Road is no more. Over the years, this has been a traffic hazard and ugly entrance for

those visitors staying at the Hampton Inn or Econolodge.

The City of Eden worked with Wal-Mart Realty and NCDOT to gain approval to remove the island. Thanks goes to the City Streets Department and Josh Woodall who created the plans to convince Wal-Mart that the island served no purpose but to create problems for Eden motorists.

Eden Family YMCA Executive Director, Pete Baker, poses with some of the 1500 backpacks the Y donated to Rockingham County students.

Rockingham County students pose with their new backpacks filled with school supplies, courtesy of the Eden Family YMCA.

Backpacks donated

Volunteers at the Eden Family YMCA distribute backpacks to Rockingham County students.

The Eden Family YMCA recently donated 1500 backpacks filled with school supplies to Rockingham County students. The YMCA also took 14 children on a back-to-school shopping trip.

This endeavor is part of Bright Beginnings, a YMCA of Greensboro program that aims to lessen the back-to-school financial burden on local families. The community generously supported the program through donations of monetary gifts, school supplies, and volunteer time.

“The backpack program arose last year through a partnership with Eden Drug” says Pete Baker, Executive Director of the Eden Family YMCA. “Eden Drug sponsored a generous backpack program for the community, but when the facility that housed the program was destroyed by the tornado last spring, Eden Drug turned to the YMCA for help. The program was such a resounding success that we decided to repeat it this year.”

Waterline Replacement Projects Update After the hydrostatic pressure testing for the new 2-inch PVC water main along S. Byrd Street was passed on July 11, the crew from Sam W. Smith, Inc. was able to chlorinate the new pipe without any problems, then flush the pipe after the residual chlorine levels were checked.

Samples collected for bacteriological testing were checked for total coliform and E. coli, with results received on July 16 indicating that the new water main was ready for taps to be made.

From the Desks of Eden City Hall Continued from Page 33 The City of Eden has been awarded a $100,000 Duke Energy Water Resources Fund Grant for the development of a new river access at the Klyce Street and for improvements to the Draper Landing river access.

We are preparing to reinstall the steps at the Draper Landing river access and are completing the necessary surveying work for the property at Klyce Street.

PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT Water Filtration Plant Receives Area Wide Optimization Program Award Since 1998, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has developed several new regulations to help reduce the risk of biological contamination while limiting the risk from disinfecting chemicals and their byproducts. The Area Wide Optimization Program (AWOP) was developed to help water systems meet more stringent regulations and achieve higher levels of water quality. Achieving this goal means the water’s turbidity levels were less than one third of the allowable limits 95 percent of the time.

Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or haziness of water caused by individual particles that can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Microbes are microscopic particles that occur naturally, but can potentially include harmful bacteria and viruses. Target turbidity levels are 0.1 ntu (nephelometric turbidity unit), well below the regulatory limit of 0.3 ntu. Water treatment plants that consistently attain such a low level of turbidity achieve significant water quality benefits by removing particles that may harbor microbial contaminants.

AWOP Awards are given each year to water systems that demonstrate outstanding turbidity removal, a key test of drinking water quality. While all drinking water systems have to meet strict state and federal drinking water standards, the systems that achieve this award met performance goals that are significantly more stringent.

The Robert A. Harris Water Filtration Plant here in Eden has participated in AWOP since 2005 and recently received one of the state’s highest honors in water treatment, the Area Wide Optimization Award for 2017.

This is the ninth award and the sixth straight year of achieving this recognition. Of the 150 surface water systems in the state, only 69 received the award. Mr. Eric Hudson, North Carolina Regional Engineer with the Public Water Supply Section within the Department of Environmental Quality, presented the award June 14, 2018 at the North Carolina Water Operators Association meeting.

Congratulations to Mr. Terry Shelton, Director of Public Utilities, Ms. Dena Reid, Superintendent of Water Filtration and the staff at the Water Filtration Plant for the excellent work they continue to do on a daily basis.

Unifi Championed Recycling at the Wyndham Championship Unifi (NYSE:UFI), global textile solutions provider, and the Wyndham Championship raised awareness around the importance of plastic recycling during the 79th annual Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. on August 1319.

Through the partnership, announced in April, Unifi was an official recycling partner of last week’s PGA TOUR event and collaborated with the Wyndham Championship to encourage thousands of golf fans to be even more sustainable, on and off the course. This effort included a limited-edition line of Wyndham Championship hats and t-shirts, made from REPREVE recycled fibers, that sold out at the tournament’s Ralph Lauren Merchandise Pavilion.

Unifi makes its REPREVE® performance fiber from 100 percent recycled materials, including plastic bottles, preventing billions of bottles from going into landfills each year. To date, Unifi has transformed more than 12 billion recycled plastic bottles into REPREVE products and has a goal to recycle 30 billion bottles by 2022.

Unifi partnered with Republic Services to place 300 co-branded REPREVE recycling bins throughout Greensboro's Sedgefield Country Club. With the participation of tens of thousands of Wyndham Championship attendees, an estimated 1.8 tons of plastic bottles were collected, recycled and diverted from landfills—equivalent to the weight of a mid-sized car or enough to create thousands of shirts and hats for future championship products.

“When consumers understand that just one plastic bottle can be transformed into a pair of golf socks, it truly brings the power of recycling to life,” said Richard Gerstein, Unifi’s executive vice president of global branded premium value-added products and chief marketing and innovation officer. “Like sports, recycling has the power to bring people together in support of a cause. People feel empowered when they’re part of something bigger like creating a better tomorrow.”

“Thinking of all the plastic bottles recycled at the Wyndham Championship as thousands of future tournament shirts and hats really puts recycling in perspective,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “We are grateful to Unifi for teaming with Republic Services in an effort to enhance our recycling efforts, and these numbers clearly show the effort was successful. We can’t do too much to protect the environment, and we appreciate Unifi’s support in this important area.”

To highlight the sustainability story of many popular brands, Unifi also brought its REPREVE mobile tour to the tournament. Fans visited the tour, learning how to #TurnItGreen by experiencing firsthand the vast possibilities

that result from reimagining plastic bottles. The tour educated fans of all ages about the importance of recycling and buying recycled, as well as showcased products from leading brands that use REPREVE, ranging from garments to accessories.

In addition to the array of branded products displayed in its tour, the company also collaborated with Sunbrella, Vapor Apparel and New Era Cap during the championship. Golf fans were able to participate in REPREVE’s contest to win an Under Armour Sunbrella golf bag made with Sunbrella’s leading edge fabrics and purchase Wyndham Championship merchandise made with REPREVE

by Vapor Apparel and New Era Cap, further contributing to the fight against plastic waste.

With some estimates suggesting that Americans dispose of as much as 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour—70% of which end up in landfills—recycling is now more important than ever. The partnership between Unifi and the Wyndham Championship addressed these challenges, proving sustainability can be achieved when everyone comes together to recycle.

About Unifi: Unifi, Inc. (NYSE:UFI) is a global textile solutions provider and one of the world’s leading innovators in manufacturing synthetic and recycled performance fibers. The Company’s proprietary PROFIBER™ technologies offer increased performance, comfort and style advantages, enabling customers to develop products that perform, look and feel better.

Cadets go through mock government workshop Tar Heel Girls’ State as well as Boy’s State, week long mock government workshops, were back in session for its 79th year at Catawba College in June, Girl’s were sponsored by the North Carolina American Legion Auxiliary and Boy’s were sponsored by the North Carolina American Legion.

Two of Morehead High School’s Army JROTC Cadets were sponsored by American Legion William C. Johnson Post #534 Auxiliary to attend this great event.

Cadet Captain Nicole Flint and Cadet Captain Nicole Hernandez, both Honor students and rising Seniors participated in the week-long practical study of the structure and operation of North Carolina State Government.

They received a “handson” approach to learning how state and local governments function. Whether it was running for mayor, or campaigning for governor both young ladies developed an understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship by creating and living under their own mock government.

Cadet Hernandez who was selected as Mayor said, “Girls State is an awesome program, with my favorite part being the

bonding between the 200 plus women. Even more impressive was how creative the ideas were amongst the group with respect given to all input provided.”

“The Girl’s State program takes Patriotism to a higher level said Cadet Flint who presented the National Colors for the ceremonies.” I also enjoyed the guest speakers, NC Attorney General Josh Stein and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall as I had heard their names mentioned before but didn’t fully understand what role they played in our NC Government.

Two of Morehead High School’s Army JROTC Cadets were sponsored by American Legion William C. Johnson Post #534 to attend this great event.

Battalion Commander C/Lieutenant Colonel Cody Dunn and Battalion Executive Officer C/Major Alex Stadler, both Honor students and rising Seniors participated in the weeklong practical study of the structure and operation of North Carolina State Government.

They become familiar with the structure of North Carolina government and it’s political process using the LEARN TODAY TO LEAD TOMORROW concept of instruction.

Just as important, they gained a

better understanding of our American traditions and beliefs in the united States of America.

Cadet Dunn said, “Boys’ State gave him a better understanding and sense of his obligations to the community, state and nation.” Dunn who hopes to attend the United States Military Academy next Fall hopes to take back what he learned and use it in leading his “Corps of Cadets” this school year.

“The Boys’ State program has provided me with the additional drive to pursue a career in public service, said Cadet Stadler.” I truly enjoyed meeting different people from all over the state of North Carolina and working with them on different projects and ideas.

Four Tried and True Ways to Get Your Kids Excited for the Dentist

Seeds of Hope by Samuel Moore-Sobel

The time has come. Your little one has sprouted teeth and is ready to start visiting the dentist. Whether you’re scheduling your child’s first visit or he is a bit anxious about visiting the tooth doctor, the North Carolina Dental Society recommends a series of tips to help you and your family have a successful visit and relationship with your dentist.

Seeing a pediatric dentist is generally a great place to start and ease your children into a lifetime of dental visits.

Generally, the offices of pediatric dentists are decorated with bright colors, fun toys and patient chairs catering your child’s size. Most importantly, these dentists specialize in the oral health of children, beginning in infancy through adolescence. They will help you, the parent, come up with a plan to help your child establish good oral health habits at home that will carry them through their adult lives.

teeth,” said Dr. Kerry Dove, a pediatric dentist in Concord.

“It’s important to start practicing good oral hygiene at an early age to ensure that your kids have healthy teeth. The earlier you start bringing your child to the dentist, the more accustomed they will be to going twice a year as they continue to grow.”

The NC Dental Society and the American Dental Association recommend scheduling that first dental visit after the first tooth emerges, but no later than your little one’s first birthday. Here are four tried and true ways to get your children ready for their upcoming dental checkup: 1. Educate your children.

You might try teaching your child about oral hygiene by incorporating books about healthy teeth and gums into their bedtime stories. This way you can make oral health both fun and educ.al.

2. Encourage good oral hygiene at home. You and your kids can practice your brushing and flossing routine together.

Demonstrate to your children that it is important to take good care of your pearly whites by standing in front of the mirror together as part of your morning and nighttime routines.

3. Let your kids communicate their preference. Consider allowing your child to participate in small decisions, such as choosing a special toothbrush with their favorite character on it. They may even find it fun to choose an ADA-approved flavored toothpaste such as bubblegum, strawberry or blue raspberry.

4. Develop a relationship with your pediatric dentist. Ask friends and family for recommendations for a local pediatric dentist with a fun environment and a friendly office staff who will comfort your child and make them feel at ease.

Cultivate a relationship with your dentist from that first visit so biannual visits become fun and personable over the years.

To learn more about pediatric dentistry and proper oral hygiene for children, visit www.mouthhealthy.org or consult a dentist in your area.
