Archdale to design new gateway into city A

rchdale is planning to transform N.C. 62 into an appealing and safe gateway into the city, but it will take time.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS At their February meeting, Archdale’s Planning and Zoning Board agreed to recommend incorporation of the N.C. 62 Access Management Plan. The Urban Resource Group, a division of Kimley Horn and Associates, developed the plan with input from Archdale, High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization, N.C. Department of Transportation and community members. HPMPO and DOT will reimburse the city for the $65,000 study, which

started a year ago. City Council will consider the plan at their Feb. 23 meeting. The Urban Resource Group studied the N.C. 62 corridor near the interstates, from Longview Drive to the U.S. 311/Interstate 74 overpass, all in Guilford County. The two-lane, rural highway passes through residential neighborhoods, large farms and highway businesses like a hotel and gas stations. People currently use that portion of N.C. 62 to access Interstate 85. The U.S. 311 bypass (or I-74) is expected to bring more trafﬁc and more development to the area. The 2009 trafﬁc counts show up to 19,800 vehicles per

day using the portion of N.C. 62 at I-85. A traffic model forecasts that section to have 27,600 vehicles per day by 2035. Without improvements, motorists trying to turn onto N.C. 62 could face long delays. “The current configuration of N.C. 62 is not expected to handle the anticipated growth of the area,” said Jeff Wells, Archdale planning director. That’s why a plan for the future is needed. The Urban Resource Group also studied intersections at Aldridge, Fairfield, Kersey Valley, Weant, Modlin Grove and Penman roads. The intersections with the most delays were Weant Road in the morning and Fairfield in the evening.

Agreement deﬁnes growth areas T

he renewal of an annexation agreement between High Point and Thomasville continues to deﬁne which city can offer sewer and other utility services to an unincorporated area of northwestern Randolph County that borders U.S. 29/70 (Business 85). BY ROBYN HANKINS

Annexation agreements are used by cities to deﬁne where each can grow. Such agreements also deﬁne which city a resident should appeal to for sewer or other utility services, which generally requires annexation. “All past municipal annexations have been at the request of the individual property owner who desired the utility services that could be provided by the municipality,” said Hal Johnson, planning director for Randolph County. “We’ve never had anything but voluntary annexations in Randolph County, period.” High Point City Council recently renewed an annexation agreement with Thomasville for potential growth in that area, with High Point’s territory primarily north of the interstate. Thomasville City Council renewed the 20-year agreement at their Feb. 15 meeting. Trinity and Archdale are not part of the annexation agreement. “Trinity has no annexation agreements with High Point or Archdale, or with anyone,” said Trinity City Manager Ann Bailie. However, it is possible that could change, Bailie admitted. “It’s probably a good idea, but it has not been an issue,” Bailie told the NEWS. “We will likely develop one with Archdale at some point because of the future wastewater treatment plant.” The proposed wastewater treatment plant, a joint effort between Trinity, Archdale and Randolph County, would be situated south of the two cities. An annexation agreement would outline which unincorporated areas each city could offer sewer service to. Trinity could have had input into the agreement between High Point and Thomasville if the city had taken that area as part of its extraterritorial jurisdiction. An extraterritorial

ATMS wins tournament! T

he Archdale-Trinity Middle School boys basketball team still bask in the championship spotlight after they claimed the Feb. 6 Randolph County Middle School basketball tournament championship held at Wheatmore High School. BY HAL MOSLEY Special to the NEWS

The team entered the championship games following a near perfect season of 13 wins and one loss under the leadership of first-year Head

Coach Harry Loeffler and Assistant Coach Matt Smith. ATMS hosted the first game Jan. 29 against North Asheboro Middle School. That game was never close. ATMS closed the game with a 39-20 score. The leading scorers were Madison Fountain 10, Daniel Newcomer 6, Braydton Hardin 6 and Hunter Osborne 6. The winter storms cancelled school and postponed the next round of games. The semi-final games were played Feb. 5 at Wheatmore. ATMS won 51-32 over South Asheboro Middle School. For ATMS, Madison Fountain led all scorers with 17

points, followed by Kyle Mosley 12, Jarrod Rogers 10 and Braydton Hardin 8. The excitement of Friday night’s game continued at the 12:15 p.m. game at Wheatmore on Feb. 6. ATMS started out strong only to see Randleman Middle close the gap and take the lead in the final minutes. With only 6 seconds remaining in the game, Jarrod Rogers got open for a basket that gave ATMS the win 34-33. Jarrod Rogers lead the scoring with 16, Daniel Newcomer 8, Kyle Mosley 3 and Colin Rosenbaum 3. ATMS closed the season with a record of 16 wins and 1 loss.

Free running clinic Feb. 27 in Asheboro The Sports Medicine Program through the Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital is now taking registration for its free running clinic. All runners, seasoned and novice, are invited to attend the clinic, which will be conducted from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Randolph Hospital Outpatient Center. “Conditioning with Care” and “Caring for your feet” are two of the topics. “This clinic is designed to give all runners regardless of experience the tools necessary to continue a safe, healthy and fun running routine,” said BJ Chockley, director of rehabilitation services at Randolph Hospital. “Our hands-on approach allows us to create a customized program specific for each runner’s individual skills.” More than 75 million people in the United States run. Most often, people run to stay in shape and to reach an ideal body weight, but there are other benefits of running — to lower blood pressure, to maximize the lungs’ potential and to strengthen the heart and to help prevent

heart attacks. Registration is required and is limited. Visit www.randolphhospital.org or call 633-7788. Participants must be 18 years or older. Light refreshments will be provided. Participants should wear running attire.

Rotary seeks applicants for leadership program

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little things ... J

ust mentioning the name Eric Potts brings a grin to the face of Davidson County Community College basketball coach Matt Ridge.

Rotary District 7660, which includes Archdale and Trinity, seeks nominees for the Rotary Youth Leadership Program to be held in July at Guilford College in Greensboro. There is no cost for the student. Students live in a dormitory on campus and use classrooms, the cafeteria and recreational facilities. Selection criteria include leadership potential and at least a B average in school. Participants must be rising juniors or seniors as of July 2010. Applications are available at www.tinyurl.com/RYLP2010.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Thomasville Times

Not because he is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer or a flashy player who makes spectacular plays, but for the simple fact he is the type of character building, hard-work driven athlete that every coach dreams of getting the chance to coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows what it takes to win and he learned that long before he met me, playing at Trinity for coach Tim Kelly,â&#x20AC;? Ridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does the little things that do not always show up in the black and white ink in the newspaper, but he helps us win.â&#x20AC;? Potts averages right at 9 points per game, but continues to be the leading rebounder for a second year in a row. Those are just two statistics that show up in the box score. He does all of the little things, like drawing charges, setting screens, getting deflections and likely leads the team in floor burns. Potts is the epitome of a role player, staying low-key and doing his part to help the team any way he can. At the end of the day, while the high scorers and stars of the game get the recognition, he quietly exits the gymnasium knowing he did his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to be a leader as much as I can and not take any plays off,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to lead by example.â&#x20AC;? Ridge echoed his comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He brings it on every play, of every practice and every game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He leads by example and is a winner off the court and in the classroom. He will continue to be successful far beyond our basketball program.â&#x20AC;? Getting to this point in his career has been difficult for Potts. While at Trinity, he played two years of junior varsity basketball before getting his chance at the varsity level. Not always the tallest player at his position, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to play that much harder to be effective. By the time his senior year rolled around he became an integral part of a Bulldog team that finished second in the state at the 3-A level. Now, in his second season with the Storm, Potts has really tapped into his potential and has helped DCCC win 16 of its last 17 games and a current ranking of ninth in the NJCAA Division III poll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even through high school I have fought hard to get to where I am now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have worked my tail off to get where I am at. I guess you could call me a late bloomer.â&#x20AC;? His blooming process could not have peaked at a better time for Davidson. With just a handful of games remaining and a perfect record in the Region X Tarheel Conference, DCCC has a chance to run the table and set the stage for what could be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first regional championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have become a better team the last few games,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have bought into what coach is teaching us and we are just trying to play hard, smart and together.â&#x20AC;? No win was more satisfying than the recent 101-69 thrashing DCCC gave to the University of North Carolina junior varsity. Potts has lost three games on the Dean E. Smith Center floor, which includes Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state champi-

Softball clinic March 27-28

The Carolina Breeze softball organization will hold an Olympic softball clinic March 27-28 in Southern Pines. The clinic is open to Archdale-Trinity residents. The clinic will be limited to 120 players. The cost is $200 if paid by Feb. 15 or $225 thereafter. The clinic will be held at Pinecrest High School, 250 Voit Gilmore Drive, Southern Pines, NC 28387. The cost for coaches who wish to observe is $60. For more information, call Jessica Kinsey at 1-910995-3188 or at jkinsey13@gmail.com or visit www. thecarolinabreeze.com.

Storm sophomore Eric Potts has helped DCCC win 16 of its last 17 games. onship loss. So when the Tar Heels came to visit Brinkley Gym, Potts and company were prepared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was ready to play and we played together that night,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consistency-wise, that was the best game we have played this year.â&#x20AC;? While the win generated a high level of excitement with the program, there is one other major game this year that DCCC would rank much higher and would mean more than just a win against UNC. In its first two seasons, the Storm has reached the Region X title game, only to come away with a loss. Potts was a member of the 2009 team that overcame all obstacles and made an improbable run to the championship game, where DCCC fell by 1 in the final seconds. Still fresh on his mind, the sophomore forward remembers that game all too well, and would like to get one more crack at changing history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I even cried after that game,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a dagger and it saddened me, but it also got me ready for this season to get back there and get coach Ridge a regional championship.â&#x20AC;? DCCC will host the regional tournament Feb. 25â&#x20AC;&#x201C;27. So next time while at a Storm game, enjoy watching the sharpshooters fill up the basket with points and the dunkers ramming home a slam. But for a few moments, take a glance at the man in the No. 12 jersey working tirelessly to make all of those plays possible.

Wheatmore scores Wheatmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball teams lost to top-ranked T.W. Andrews Friday night. The girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final score was 42-39. Taylor Walker led the Lady Warriors with 16 points. The final score for the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game was 73-33.

The Bulldogs led the first half, but the Yellow Jackets were hot on their heels, 15-14 at half-time. Carver then took the lead, still a tight 26-27 at the end of the third. Trinity finally outpaced them in the last two minutes of the game. The Yellow Jackets stung themselves in the foot, twice, by trying to play down the clock before making their shot. Only one point behind Trinity and needing the goal for the win, Carver missed. Dustin Mann grabbed the ball and ran down the court for a shot that went in at 0 seconds. Watkins led Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score with 16 points. Clausel added 8 and Nathan Willett, 7. Seniors Clausel, Mann and Watkins were recognized before the game. Trinity (9-0 conference, 20-3 overall) was scheduled for a showdown with Andrews (7-1, 13-6) Tuesday night, too late for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition.

It’s time to remove the ‘Let it snow’ sign H Vickie urry, spring. No extra words, no cute little song, no rhyming verse. Just two simple, desperate words — hurry, spring.

For years I have told you all about how much I love snow and I wasn’t lying. But loving snow does not constitute loving freezing rain, freezing temps, ice, slush, gray leftover snow and mud ... mud, mud everywhere! My walking path is muddy, my parking space at the shop is muddy and everybody’s yard is full of water. Enough already. I guess I should count my blessings that I don’t live up north. Gracious me, I would be having a ﬁt of spring fever. Even my sweet mother, who has never been bossy, told me to take down my cute little garden ﬂag that reads, “Let It Snow.” I think she is having yard sale withdrawal. Gary and I did enjoy a recent cruise that gave us a brief break from the gray days of winter. Of course, when we got off the ship in Tampa, Fla., it was a brisk 29 degrees. That was a welcome-back shocker. We’re booked again and I hope it’s warmer when we go in a few months. I enjoyed a visit with Phyllis East a few days ago. Phyllis, who many of you know from the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce and the Archdale-Trinity News, has been at home recuperating from

knee replacement surgery. She’s up and moving, albeit slowly. We all know that Phyllis usually runs at about 100 miles an hour, but the surgery has slowed her down for now. She is getting stronger every day and hopefully you’ll soon see her around town again. Take care, Phyllis. When you spot Archdale mail carrier Denise Nance around town it might be nice to give her an extra hug or wave or something. She said she thought that her workday on Saturday, Jan. 30, during the snow, ice and sleet storm we had was the worst day she has seen in her 20 years of working for the U.S. Postal Service. She had visions of absolutely freezing to death before her route was completed. I was glad that the next day was Sunday so she could thaw out a little. ’Wouldn’t want one of my best buds to get frostbite. Welcome back to Lori Warren of the Sophia post ofﬁce. Lori had been in another town on assignment for several months. While she was gone, we were fortunate to have Pat Robin (yes, just like the bird) helping Sophia residents with mail delivery needs. Pat seemed to love meeting and greeting Sophia residents. Be sure and say a special welcome to Vickie Anderson, who will soon work at the Sophia branch. Vickie (Foland) Anderson grew up in Sophia so she will be a familiar face to many of us. We haven’t had much more progress on the road construction in our community

because of the weather. As I said earlier — mud, mud everywhere, good ole Randolph County red mud. Yes, I am ready for spring. But until it gets here I can console myself with some thrift store shopping and gathering other things from around my house to donate to the thrift stores. I try not to donate to the ones that I shop at the most because I have been known to look at something and consider buying it only to realize that I have already owned it once. That’s the good thing about yard sales — it’s new-to-me stuff. Happy birthday to my dear aunt Annette Steed on Feb. 14 and to my cousin Christy Stiles Gunter on Feb. 15 and to my precious mom on Feb. 16. I musn’t forget my dear friend Mattie Ann Sechrist, who will celebrate her birthday in February. She and Ray will have an anniversary on one of those days. Happy days to you, Mattie. Happy days to all of you.

Fairfield also had the highest number of accidents over the past three years. The goals of the plan are to keep traffic safe and minimize traffic jams, provide pedestrian and bicycle options and give the corridor a pleasing appearance, all while minimizing the impact on nearby homes and the environment. The Urban Resource Group spent three days in August interviewing stakeholders, working with city personnel about land use plans and connector streets, and holding a public workshop. Stakeholders included groups such as property owners, business owners, developers and emergency personnel. Their input was used to develop the recommended Access Plan. The plan recommends that N.C. 62 be turned into a four-lane road, divided with a landscaped median, from Aldridge to Penman roads. The rest of N.C. 62 will remain two lanes. The median, along with consistent left turn lanes at intersections, will make the road safer. The landscaping and buried utilities will improve the city’s appearance. The outside lanes will be wider to share with bicyclists and sidewalks will accommodate pedestrians. The existing bridge over I-85 was built to accommodate five lanes. Connector streets will alleviate crowding in the thoroughfare. Connector streets will be constructed over time, as the area is developed, and may be different from the drawings. However, showing them on the access plan helps to plan the intersections and the overall flow of traffic. Driveways would preferably connect to the side streets instead of the N.C. 62 thoroughfare. The plan suggests two options for alleviating traffic at Fairfield Road. The first is to move the south end of Fairfield to approach the intersection at a traditional angle and to add turn lanes, but that would require the purchase of land and rights-of-way. The second is to insert an oval — like a traffic circle — to make the intersection safer and more efficient. Planners also recommend that the Kersey Valley Road and Weant Road intersections be moved farther from the interstate, which will require further studies. If adopted, the access plan would go into effect the next time the city reviews a development design. But changes to the N.C. 62 roadway may be a long time coming, because no funding is in place. Archdale would have to work with DOT and the High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization to get the changes on long-term plans or pay for some things out of city funds. “This document will provide us with the guide to, over time, ensure that the corridor is safe and provides an interconnected network of streets for the motoring public,” Wells said, “as N.C. 62 transitions from a two-lane rural corridor to a multi-lane urban corridor.”

In the large graphic, the dashes indicate possible primary and secondary connector streets. The sketch shows how landscaping and turn lanes will enhance the N.C. 62 corridor as a primary gateway to Archdale. Design by Urban Resource Group, courtesy of city of Archdale

ANNEXATION

Continued from front

jurisdiction, or ETJ, is an area directly outside of a city’s limits. Residents are subject to the city’s zoning laws and fee schedules but do not pay city taxes. Trinity’s northern ETJ area extends from the city’s northern limits to the south side of U.S. 29/70 (Business 85) and east to the Archdale city limits. The Randolph County Board of Commissioners approved Trinity for ETJ all the way to the Guilford County line, but the city decided to limit the scope of the ETJ because anything to the north of U.S. 29/70

would be beyond one mile of the city’s current limits. Sewer concerns also played a role in the city’s decision to limit the size of Trinity’s ETJ. City Engineer Randy McNeill said at that time that it would be difﬁcult for Trinity to extend sewer to those areas because of the area’s topography. It would make more sense for those areas to be served by either High Point or Thomasville. Archdale, which does have an annexation agreement with High Point, is not party to the agreement between

High Point and Thomasville. “Our agreement expires Aug. 31, 2010,” Archdale City Manager Jerry Yarborough said. “It covers the area around N.C. 62, Kersey Valley Road and Weant Road, the area south of Fairﬁeld Road and along the Interstate 74 corridor.” That agreement, which will likely be renewed later this year, he added, would not extend to the unincorporated area in question because Archdale’s city limits do not stretch that far west.

It is impossible to go through life without making mistakes and missing out on certain opportunities, and these mistakes and missed opportunities are often the source of considerable regret or remorse. The fact that we often have considerable difficulty getting over some past failing is evidence that we are moral creatures and this is good in many ways. Mistakes have a way of teaching us and keeping us from repeating our mistakes. But once we have learned the lesson from our failings, it is time to move on. The problem with dwelling on past sins or missed opportunities is that it keeps us mired in the unchangeable past rather than moving forward into a future that we can actually do something about. If we have wronged someone in the past and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told them we are sorry, we should do so and then move on with our life. We may not be able to forget this sin of our past, but we should be able to forgive ourselves and move on. Focus on the future and consider how we might live our lives in such a way that we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repeat these mistakes, or miss out on future opportunities.

Meet your whodunit neighbor ... Barbara Arntsen

Barbara Arntsen gave the ‘Fat Man’ himself, Harold Bessett, Photos submitted a copy of her book.

MURDER, SHE WROTE B

arbara Arntsen’s debut novel, “SOS,” is ﬁlled with humor, suspense and a memorable protagonist that’s got it all — looks, smarts and a penchant for attracting trouble, all wrapped in sweet, Southern charm. STAFF REPORTS

That Southern charm is found in Arntsen herself, a reallife sleuth with the awards to prove it. As a staff writer at the Henderson Daily Dispatch from 1997 to 2002, she won four North Carolina Press Association awards for investigative stories that ranged from the improper spending of taxpayers’ money to crimes committed by a real estate company. According to Al Wheless of the Dispatch, “In her ﬁrst journalism job, the woman with the piercing blue eyes and the amazingly thick blond hair became both famous and infamous in Henderson and Vance County — depending on whom you asked — for her investigative stories.” Arntsen won two Press Association prizes while working at two other newspapers: the Goldsboro News-Argus from 2002 to 2005 and the High Point Enterprise from 2005 to 2006. As a reporter with the High Point Enterprise, she covered Randolph County. While residing in High Point, she was a member of Archdale United Methodist Church. Arntsen is now a writer and public relations executive who resides near Goldsboro. Arntsen’s knack for sleuthing sets the tone for the main character, Peri Mason, an attractive widow ready to escape the pressures of her investigative reporting job and head for the beach to take in some much needed R&R and R — rest, relaxation and romance. Peri and her two friends head to North Myrtle Beach to take part in a time-honored tradition, a dance craze that Carolinians created back in the 1960s. Shagging on the Strand was the sensual dance of the South, and a group of people known as The Society of Stranders (SOS) pay homage to the practice twice a year. Although the ladies

had never participated in the event, they intended to rectify that shortcoming upon arrival. Fat Harold’s is their first stop. Known as one of the hottest dance clubs on the strand, Peri thinks it’s the perfect way to begin their weekend. Precarious is what it turns out to be, when she encounters a renegade cat, a rude redheaded woman and two half-naked men in a nearby alley, one very dead and the other very ill. Later that night, another dead body (yet another redhead) is discovered. Who is responsible and what does the cat have to do with the bodies that keep piling up? Despite her plans for rest, Peri puts on her investigative reporter hat when the finger of suspicion is pointed at her. Can she figure out whodunit, prove her own innocence and, most importantly, will she ever get to shag? The mystery is set perfectly at Fat Harold’s, a place Arntsen first visited in 2001. “I was blown away. I’ve never seen so many people going in and out of clubs, and up and down alleys. All of this to dance the Shag.” Then and there, she decided, “this would be a good place for a murder mystery.” And so it came to be. Arntsen began to craft her mystery novel in 2002. She submitted the book for publication last summer to Strategic Book Publishing Company in New York. It came off the press in October. According to her publisher, Arntsen has created a strong, sexy and likeable female sleuth with razor-sharp wit. With a fast-paced plotline and a story that hooks the reader from page one, fans will eagerly anticipate the next Peri Mason adventure. Copies of the hardcover book, $24.95, are available online from Amazon or Barnes and Noble or through the publisher at www.strategicpublishinggroup.com.

Want to meet the author?

Barbara Arntsen, author of “SOS,” will offer her book for sale at a free wine tasting at The Wet Whistle from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26. The winery will be Rag Apple Lassie. Owner Carol Hamilton has had two book signings with her wine tasting events, including a local history book written by Fran Andrews. Books and coffee just go together, said Hamilton. “We have a book exchange,” she said, “and it brings in business for us, hopefully gets people interested in the books.” Books and wine go together, too. The wine tasting is free, but the business also sells wine by the glass, from $4.50 to $6.50, and by the bottle. Rag Apple Lassie Winery is in the heart of the Yadkin Valley, about 20 miles from Winston-Salem. The Wet Whistle is at 101E Bonnie Place in Archdale.

At this club, sometimes it’s the youngBarbara sold out at a January book signsters who stand on the sidelines to envy the beauty of the dance. The more mature dancers glide to “Sixty Minute Man” or “Carolina Girls,” songs likely recorded before some of the younger ones were born. My husband and I were the out-of-towners — so I thought. Wearing my sleuth hat, I found plenty of ArchdaleTrinity presence at Fat Harold’s. The entry walls are lined with deejays of the year. Two of Archdale-Trinity’s own are included: Butch Metcalf in 1991 and Ervin Ellington Otis Harris, an Archdale businessman, purchased in 1993. Otis Harris, an Archdale a copy of “SOS” during the mid-winter event at businessman, was among Fat Harold’s.

My cousin Joy Thompson, a Davidson County native, is manager of the popular club, where it’s OK to “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy.” And that we did. It had been quite a while since Barbara and I had seen each other. Reconnecting our kindred spirits was not a problem. Barbara and I had come to know each other as she covered the Randolph County beat for the High Point Enterprise from 2005 to 2006. She loved this community and joined Archdale United Methodist Church. I love to hear about her life experiences, from her volunteer effort to build an animal shelter to adventures with her daughter at the National Conservancy in Florida. Barbara’s career Joy Thompson

and interests have ranged from investigative reporting and horse riding to her current position as communications director for Wayne County. From each career move and her travels to the Grand Strand, she claimed little bits and pieces for her book. In “SOS,” one of the characters is from Archdale — the site of a family reunion, not a murder. Barbara is an observer of people and this allows her to paint an eloquent and detailed picture of her characters, especially the main character, “Peri Mason.” The tension mounts in her book, but I don’t want to give it away. I’ll just add a few more words from her account: “The stakes become personal as Peri gets closer to ﬁguring out who is killing the old shaggers. She is drawn into a lifethreatening situation and her only chance for survival rests with her friends.”

Youth plans fundraisers to beneďŹ t Archdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-9 E

ight-year-old Susanna Alane Boone of Archdale enjoys helping others and she loves animals, big and small. The combination has prompted a new project for the Trinity Elementary School student. STAFF REPORTS

She is raising money for the Archdale Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-9 unit to purchase a HOT-N-Pop system, which costs $960. This system monitors the temperature inside the police car. If the car gets too hot, the system will roll down the back windows and kick on a fan. The system also allows the officer to have a device on his uniform that will activate the opening of the doors to allow the dog to be released to assist the officer. A series of fundraisers are planned

Triad Rotary to hold white sale Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often you can purchase toilet paper and make an impact on your community, said Steve Farabee, president of the Rotary Club of the Triad. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what will happen with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming white sale. Individuals and businesses may place orders for bath tissue, paper towels, trash bags, cups and facial tissue by the case through March 10. Rotarians will provide free delivery on April 2 for commercial customers and April 3 for residential customers. The fundraiser will benefit programs for autistic students in High Point, Seniors Day in the Park project, youth scholarship program and the Stop Hunger Now project.

City grateful wind damage was minor A

rchdale Public Works Director Mike Shuler feels fortunate that there was no major damage after gale-strength winds ripped through the area last week, downing tree limbs, a power line and causing widespread power outages.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER “Power was lost at a pump station in the Parker Place subdivision on Suits Road,” said Shuler. “We had to take our generator out to the pump station. We ran it for about an hour, and then power was restored.” Still, Shuler is relieved that the situation was not any worse. “I told the guys to prepare for the worst, but we were fortunate not to have any trees down,” he told the NEWS. Homes and businesses in the city did lose power Feb. 10 and yards and streets were littered with sticks and limbs,

however, and drivers also experienced difficulties. “Traffic signals south of I-85 were out, beginning at about 3:30 p.m.,” said Archdale Police Department dispatcher Caroline Brown. “We had officers out directing traffic for about an hour and a half.” A traffic signal at the intersection of Trindale and Archdale roads blew off its line. “It was in the road,” said James Baker, signal system technician. A crew restrung the light within a short time. The power outages caused several other delays and closings as well. Dean Rhonda Winters said that Wednesday evening classes had to be cancelled at the Archdale Center of Randolph County Community College. Weather-related problems also caused problems for other residents and businesses in northwest Randolph County. The worst, however, was when a tree fell on a power line. “The winds were really pretty high, with gusts of up to 50 miles per hour,” said Guil-Rand Fire Department Assistant Chief Scott Spencer. “Some power lines were dam-

aged as a result of a tree that fell on them.” According to a fire report, a power line at 5644 Trotter Country Road came down under the weight of a fallen tree at 3:33 p.m. Crews from the N.C. Department of Transportation put up barricades as Duke Energy crews cut power to the power lines. “Sometimes it will cause sparking and the power line may catch the grass on fire,” Spencer explained. “We stood by to keep the road blocked and keep people away from the power lines.” As many as 2,567 customers lost power due to the incident, said Shirley Moore, a media representative for Duke Energy. Peak outages occurred at 3:27 p.m. Power was restored to the last customer at 2:11 p.m. Feb. 11. Jared Byrd, Randolph County Emergency Management coordinator, estimated that the 911 system received about 50 calls requesting assistance from the fire department because of trees on the road or trees and limbs on power lines.

County residents face multiple drug charges Two Randolph County men face multiple drug charges following searches of their residences. Approximately 90 pounds of marijuana was seized Feb. 9 after a search of a residence at 2587 Wayne White Road, Lot 25, in Pleasant Garden.

Hopewell Elementary students enthralled by ‘Brass Under the Big Top’ H

opewell Elementary students enjoyed Brass Under the Big Top, a circus-like presentation Feb. 11, coordinated by Communities In Schools of Randolph County. Coordinating a CIS event is a little like a circus, said Executive Director Sandi Norman. The band also performed at Randleman Elementary School. Brass Under the Big Top is a collaborative program that introduces young audiences to musical concepts and classical music through the magic of the circus. Prior to the performance, students studied band instruments, musical selections and circus concepts. The Giannini Brass, also called the Circus Band, was sponsored by a grassroots grant from the Randolph Arts Guild. In the photo right, Dikki the Clown, aka Richard Ellis, juggles while wearing stilts.

From left, Walter Johnson, Madeline Underwood and Erin Cody enjoy the band’s rendition of ‘Entrance of the Gladiators.’

Even adults couldn’t resist getting into the circus act. Pictured front row from left are CIS staff members Christie Smith, Gwen Taylor and Sandi Norman; Hopewell Principal Sharon Harper; Randolph County Schools Director of Student Services Sherri Trotter; and CIS Archdale-Trinity Volunteer Coordinator Dara Matthews.

Get the NEWS online! www.archdale archdaletrinitynews news.net

lex Mebane, an eighth grader from Archdale-Trinity Middle School, is the winner of the Randolph County spelling bee. He clinched the title Feb. 9 in the Randleman Middle School auditorium.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

Alex competed against 24 other Randolph County students in grades four to eight. He won the title when he successfully spelled the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;begonia.â&#x20AC;? Alex has always been a good speller, but he prepared for the county spelling bee by studying a list of words and a special technique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I say something or hear a word I try to visualize how the word is spelled,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am not sure how to spell it, I remember it and look it up later.â&#x20AC;? Alex received a $25 check from the Asheboro Courier Tribune, a championship trophy from Randolph Bank and a Merriam Webster Thesaurus from CommunityOne Bank. The county spelling bee is a preliminary competition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee which is held in Washington, D.C. Alex now qualifies to compete in the regional spelling bee set for March 14 at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in WinstonSalem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited,â&#x20AC;? said Alex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to compete with the other spelling bee winners.â&#x20AC;?

RCC enrollment jumps, classrooms overďŹ&#x201A;owing

STAFF REPORT

When spring semester registration ended, some 2,971 students had enrolled in college credit classes. That number is an all-time high for a spring semester at RCC, a 16.2 percent increase of over last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment of 2,557, according to Karen Ritter, director of planning and assessment. This spring, the number of new student applications increased by nearly 30 percent over last spring, from 1,179 to 1,527. Many classrooms are full to overflowing, and the College has increased the number of sections of many courses to handle the extra students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fourteen general psychology course sections are offered, with 64 percent full or over,â&#x20AC;? said Ritter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collegewide, 109 classrooms are filled to capacity and an additional 28 classrooms had at least one student over their stated capacity.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These enrollment figures indicate that, even in the worst of economic times, the people of our community turn to RCC to find hope and opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Robert S. Shackleford, RCC president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are dedicated to the mission of preparing our students for the jobs and careers of their dreams.â&#x20AC;? The largest growing technical programs were industrial systems technology (177 percent), automotive systems technology (94

percent), funeral service education (71 percent) and healthcare management technology (50 percent), according to Ritter. In addition, several of RCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest enrollment programs saw a boost this spring. Entrepreneurship grew by 233 percent (from 3 to 10 students) and biotechnology by 125 percent (from 4 to 9 students). Parking has been at a premium, too. The paved parking lots are full most mornings, with students nearly filling the gravel overflow lot next to the old Klaussner plant purchased by Randolph County for the school two years ago. That facility is awaiting renovations to provide more classroom space. Randolph

County will hold a referendum in March for voters to decide for or against the quarter-cent sales tax. If passed, it would generate $8 million over four years to finance the renovations.
