Guthrie, Lawson decline re-election S

ix candidates are vying for three seats on the Randolph County Board of Education, including incumbent LaVerne Williams and former Board member Tommy McDonald.

tist Church, at Surrett and Mendenhall roads, but he said that seven other churches have agreed to help with the Feed the Need event. More volunteers are needed to help promote the event and provide manpower for the collections during the day.

Multiple truckloads of donations, including approximately 1,600 cans of food, were collected at last year’s “Feed the Need” event held March 28 at Faith Baptist Church.

With unemployment and underemployment, the needs have grown more, said Foster. The nearly 12 percent unemployment rate in Randolph County exceeds the state average and the number of clients seen by COAT continues to set monthly highs.

“We live pretty comfortably, but there are people who are just struggling in our own backyard, who lack even the basic necessities,” Foster said. “We want to show our love for God by loving people, and share Christ through our works.”

COAT was selected as the beneficiary of Feed the Need because the nonprofit organization helps people in multiple ways.

“They have the resources not just to give them a can

Two long-time Board members have said they will not seek re-election. Grady Lawson of Ramseur is retiring after 40 years and Paul Guthrie of Trinity has decided Guthrie Lawson to step down.

“I’ve had 41 years in education and I believe More election coverage is in term limits,” on page 4. said Guthrie, who served eight years on the Board immediately following his 33-year teaching career. “It’s just become difficult to get things done, there are things that are not going to happen.”

Guthrie added that he’s looking forward to having some personal down-time to play golf and reconnect with old friends.

“When you retire, you’re supposed to be able to have fun,” he told the NEWS. “But every week I’ve had nothing but meetings, meetings, meetings!”

Incumbent LaVerne Williams of Asheboro, however, is ready for the challenge.

“There’s a lot going on, and I’d feel bad giving up now,” Williams told the NEWS. “I enjoy serving and always try to work with the people who bring issues before the Board.”

What bothers her the most are the financial issues currently plaguing the Board.

“Money is tighter, that’s the biggest problem we have,” she said. “You never know from one year to the next what you’re going to have.”

The financial situation and its impact on the classroom is also what prompted Brian Biggs of Trinity and Gary Mason of Asheboro to toss their hats into the ring.

“We shouldn’t be cutting classroom funds,” Biggs said.

“I know it’s tough, but we’re bringing economic issues into the classroom.”

Specifically, he feels that cutting teacher assistant positions, and having two or more classes sharing one assistant, is a mistake. “I love this school system, it’s great, but there is no reason to back up to the way things were before,” Biggs told the NEWS. “There have got to be cuts we can make elsewhere.”

“I’m keeping an open mind (on issues), but we all know money is a problem,” echoed Mason, retired chief of the Asheboro Police Department.

Helicopter visits THS Trinity High School students gathered at the track March 4 to witness the landing of a UH-72 Lakota helicopter. U.S. Army 1st Lt. Dan Klinker and Chief Warrant Officer Stanley Dunston told students how they use the helicopter to coordinate with law enforcement officers in drug interdiction operations. Sgt. Nicole Smashum of the N.C. National Guard Counterdrug Task Force joined the soldiers to urge the students to finish school and stay away from drugs so that they can achieve their goals. The event was coordinated by Air Force JROTC instructor Lt. Col. Carter.

‘Feed the Need’ sets COAT awareness day — March 20 A

rchdale-Trinity residents who want to do something about hunger are gearing up for ‘Feed the Need,’ an event which will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 24, at Trinity High School, 5746 Trinity High School Drive.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER Representatives from area churches, as well as others who want to help, are invited to “meet” COAT from 10 to 11:30 Saturday, March 20, at the COAT office in First Baptist Church, 10607 N. Main St. “We wanted to do this to raise awareness about COAT,” organizer Jeff Foster said. “It’s so much more than a food pantry.”

At COAT awareness day, Executive Director Rita Walker will give a presentation on all of COAT’s programs, including the BackPack Program, which provides nonperishable weekend food for 265 children in six elementary schools.

Following Walker’s presentation, Foster will tell people about Feed the Need, an event that will cross denominational barriers. Foster is a member of Faith Bap-

Art Explosion to showcase local children’s artwork

A

rt Explosion, a Week of the Young Child event, is a children’s art show that will be featured at various locations throughout Randolph County during April.

The Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, city of Archdale and the Archdale Public Library will display children’s artwork, along with more than 40 storefronts in downtown Asheboro and public libraries in Franklinville, Liberty, Ramseur, Randleman and Seagrove.

Children under the age of five are invited to participate in Art Explosion. The Randolph County Partnership for Children invites parents to encourage their children to create art using paints, fingerpaints, sponges, string, feathers, collages, watercolors, crayons, markers, boxes and more.

Parents can submit artwork to the Partnership for Children at 349 Sunset Ave., Asheboro, or at any Randolph County public library location by Friday, March 19. Submit only one art piece per child, including three-dimensional creations. If possible, include a picture of the young artist at work, creating the submitted art piece. Creations must be no smaller than 8 inches by 10 inches and no larger than 20 inches by 26 inches, with the exception of murals — no longer than 10 feet. Write the first name and age of the child legibly on the back of the artwork.

In addition to Art Explosion, the Week of the Young Child, April 10–17, will feature a variety of events, including the 2010 Gala for the Children Barnyard Dance on April 10, performances by Greensboro-based theatre troupe Rags to Riches, parades in Archdale and Asheboro, and various other activities in local child-care centers.

The Randolph County Partnership for Children, a nonprofit organization, is the community’s lead organization to plan, identify and fund programs and services for young children and their families. For more information, call 629-2128 or visit www.randolphkids.org.

Tillman named Creekside Park to get new entrance Legislative Leader A

S

en. Jerry Tillman (R-D29) was named Legislative Leader 2009 by the Sportsmen’s & Animal Owners’ Voting Alliance.

STAFF REPORTS

The national, nonpartisan volunteer group works to protect the rights of sportsmen and animal owners. According to saaova.org, the organization fights against legislation that, under the guise of regulating “puppy mills,� actually hurts responsible breeders, rescue operations and specialty groups — such as hunting dog owners.

Tillman, who represents Randolph and Montgomery counties, has the unique perspective of this area’s hunting dog heritage. That perspective was one of the things that singled him out to win the SAOVA award.

Tillman voted against Senate Bill 460, which eventually passed. That bill requires anyone with 15 or more female dogs to get a commercial license, get annual veterinary certifications and meet commercial standards. “Why should these legitimate businesses suffer because there’s a puppy mill down the road?� Tillman told the NEWS. He said that there are other means to regulate the puppy mills, such as going through the health department.

Tillman voted for animalfriendly Senate Bill 467, which adds requirements to try to contact the owners of stray dogs and cats and to put them up for adoption beJerry Tillman fore euthanizing them.

new entrance not only will provide Creekside Park with a facelift, but also make it safer. ‘When people come into the park for the first time, they’ll feel like they’re turning into a park,’ said Elaine Albertson, director of Archdale Parks and Recreation.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS

“I think folks are going to be proud of how it looks,�

Albertson said.

Archdale City Council authorized City Manager Jerry Yarborough to sign a contract with Smith and Jennings Inc. for $321,047 at their Jan. 26 meeting.

Smith and Jennings had presented the lowest bid of five contractors at $351,639. City staff decided that decorative asphalt stamping was too expensive and removed it from the contract, saving more than $30,000.

When the work is finished, park patrons will turn into Creekside across from Country Lane (between the current entrance and the library) and proceed through a roundabout. A new parking lot on the right will support events at the upper ballfield and the entrance road will continue onto the current Park Drive.

An improved entrance, with landscaping and a new sign, was already slated as part of Archdale’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Budgeted at $50,000, the entrance was one of many Creekside projects funded by a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant received in 2007.

Because of the national economic decline, the other Master Plan projects have been completed under budget.

Archdale decided to use remaining grant money to completely revamp the entrance.

Safety is the biggest reason for the change, said Yarborough. The new entrance will be farther from Tom Hill Road, giving southbound drivers more time to see traffic coming over the “blind� hill. A turn lane will be added on the northbound side of Main Street.

SerCo needs ‘stuff ’ for Cheer Fund yard sale Got stuff? The SerCo Club needs your stuff for a yard sale April 24 at First Baptist Church of Archdale at the corner of Main and Frazier streets.

The rain date is May 1.

All proceeds will benefit the club’s Archdale-Trinity Cheer Fund, which assists families throughout the year, but especially at Christmas.

The timing is perfect, said SerCo member Tammy Peace. “We are asking the community [to donate items] as they complete their spring cleaning,� she said.

Items may be taken to Stan Byrd Realtors on Main Street at Laura Avenue and to NewBridge Bank in Archdale at the corner of Main Street and Tarheel Drive.

The day’s event also includes a flower sale and breakfast food.

SerCo, organized in 1986, not only coordinates and operates the Cheer Fund, but also hosts a senior citizens banquet in September.

Albertson said that the turn lanes will get drivers out of the rat race of people going up Main Street.

At the upper ballfield, parents and fans park wherever they can find a spot on the grass. The new parking lot will improve that. The roundabout will add traffic control to the aesthetic design. It will slow traffic near a pedestrian crosswalk. Jamestown Engineering designed the layout.

The Smith and Jennings contract includes the road work. Albertson said that enough grant money will be left over to pay for landscaping and the new sign.

Archdale will use Powell Bill funds to resurface Mose Drive, which will become a temporary park entrance during construction. “For a short period of time it may be a pain getting in and out,� said Albertson. “We hope folks will be patient with us.�

According to the contract, Yarborough expects the work to be completed no later than Labor Day. “We have until June 2010 to finish it (the PARTF grant),� Albertson pointed out. She hopes the city won’t need an extension, although she wants to avoid planting landscaping in the heat of summer. “We really want to meet our June deadline,� said Albertson, explaining that this is Archdale’s third grant and she wants to keep the city in good standing for future applications.

RCC president thanks Archdale-Trinity To the editor, I am very grateful to the voters of Randolph County who saw the “huge return” that was possible for such a “small investment” in Randolph Community College, and either voted early or came out on a snowy election day to approve the referendum for RCC’s capital needs.

The voters gave Randolph County the opportunity for a brighter future than would have been possible otherwise. And no part of the county gave more support than Archdale and Trinity.

It would be very shortsighted to see the passage of this referendum only as a victory for Randolph Community College. Actually, it is a huge victory for the economic and workforce development of Randolph County.

With this small investment in RCC’s capital needs, the voters helped to save the county taxpayers huge amounts of money in several ways.

The hundreds of students who come to RCC each year for the first two years of college before transferring to a fouryear university will save themselves, their families, and the county’s taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per student, compared to what it would cost for them to attend four-year universities all four years.

The thousands of students who come to us each year for a two-year degree and

then enter the workforce will earn approximately 22 percent more per year than those with a high school diploma. Consequently, with almost $250,000 in additional earnings over their careers, these students each will contribute more to our community’s economic prosperity than they could have without RCC’s help.

We help hundreds of unemployed and displaced workers each year become productive, wage-earning employees with new skills, new hope and new jobs. In fact, 44 percent of the county’s unemployed adults are currently enrolled at RCC. With additional facilities, we can provide education and training for even more of our unemployed friends and neighbors who are seeking a new and enhanced place in our county’s workforce.

It has been incredibly rewarding to travel throughout the county these past couple of months, telling the RCC story and hearing people share with me their testimonials about what RCC has done for them and their family members. I am very grateful for the opportunity we have to be a part of so many lives in Randolph County.

The almost unanimous votes of support from the county’s municipalities (including the Archdale City Council and the Trinity City Council), the Chambers of Commerce (including the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce), and other key commu-

Letter to the editor

nity groups made a powerful statement about RCC’s role in the future economic and workforce development of Randolph County. They recognized that this ¼-cent is not a careless expenditure, but rather, is a valuable investment in our people, our communities and our economy.

After hearing a presentation about the referendum, one member of a civic club publicly pronounced, “I have never once in my entire life knowingly voted for a tax increase of any kind for any reason, but if I don’t break my legs before Tuesday, I plan to vote for this one.”

All over the county, reasonable people from all walks of life and all political persuasions studied the issue, counted the cost and voted for a brighter future for Randolph County.

Our motto at RCC is “Creating Opportunities, Changing Lives.” Now, because of the community’s support for this referendum, even more lives will be touched and changed by the opportunities RCC makes possible.

Again, thank you to the voters of Randolph County for your confidence in RCC as a valuable life-changing economic engine for the county.

We pledge now to invest these funds back into the county, working every day to serve our students and enhance our county’s economic and workforce development.

Dr. Robert S. Shackleford Jr. President, Randolph Community College

Flowers blooming, birds singing, I’m ready for spring I

’m ready for some beautiful spring weather with the flowers blooming and birds singing. How about you?

Sunday, March 21, will be the first day of spring, so we have something to look forward to very soon.

Many thanks to city of Trinity staff members Rich Baker and Rusty Saxon who threw out salt during the big snow storms. Who says Trinity doesn’t have a maintenance department?

Rich, stormwater manager, and Rusty, a contract worker, threw the salt by hand on all the streets the city maintains. That’s just one of the many things they take care of for us — things like putting up street signs, checking out many complaints about trash, junk cars and sewer problems.

Thanks, guys.

I am delighted that the Weeks house, next to Leach & Wagner on N.C. 62, has been sold. I understand it is to be restored and will be a showplace when the work is finished. I haven’t met the new owners, but look forward to meeting them and welcoming them to Trinity.

Friends of Trinity will have a baked spaghetti supper at Trinity Memorial United Methodist Church at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 19. The menu also includes salad, rolls, dessert and beverage for $7. Takeout orders will be available and tickets can be purchased from any member or at the door.

Hope to see you there. It is always delicious.

He added that aside from the impact the financial situation is having on the schools, he had no preconceived notions about the Board and its work, but that he wanted to help the county’s children.

“I want to be a positive influence,” Mason added. “I’ve had a calling to service and I need to be involved. I’ll bring years of management experience to the Board and I can get along with everybody.”

A desire to help the children also drives Bob Cromer of Liberty and Emily Thomas Coltrane of Seagrove.

“I’ve always had a desire to serve the children in Randolph County, but have been unable to serve due to a conflict of interest,” Cromer explained.

After working as a teacher and coach in Liberty schools, he took a job with a company that sold school furniture and Randolph County was one of their customers. He is now retired.

“I’m keeping an open mind,” Cromer replied when the NEWS asked if there was a specific issue he wanted to

address. “I just want to help the children and our school board.”

“The school board is an important role, and my background would be beneficial,” said Coltrane, who works as a juvenile court counselor supervisor. She previously ran for a Board seat in 2008.

All children, regardless of their background, are potentially at-risk students, she pointed out. Throughout her career she has worked with many such children and their families and believes that she could be of more help to the county’s children as a school board member.

“In 2008, I was endorsed by the North Carolina Association of Educators, and I’ll seek their support again this year,” Coltrane added.

The NEWS attempted to reach Tommy McDonald of Randleman but he did not respond prior to the deadline.

The school board election is nonpartisan. The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 8.

Chadwell, Eurillo win tax seats Phillip Chadwell and Charles Eurillo will take their places on the Archdale-Trinity Tax Advisory Council at the start of the 2010-2011 school year .

The Council oversees a $2 million supplemental school tax budget.

The two were elected March 11 at Archdale-Trinity Middle School.

More than 125 of those who attended submitted votes.

“It was a good turnout for the election, as well as a good choral and band concert,” Tax Advisory Council Chairman John Cable said. “The fundraiser meal for COAT did well.”

COAT DAY MARCH 20

olunteers are needed for the Bush Hill Heritage Festival.

The Festival is organized by the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce.

Held the second Saturday of each September, the festival is one of the highlights of the year in the community, said organizers.

This year’s festival, set for Sept. 11, marks the festival’s 25th anniversary.

Vendor applications are posted online at www. bushhillfestival.com. On the home page, click on the vendor tab to the left.

Applications will not be mailed except by request.

of food, but to put their lives back on track.”

Through a grant from High Point Community Foundation, COAT implemented a program, FISH (Finding Independence through Self Help), to help people work through the obstacles that cause them to be unemployed. COAT also refers clients to other nonprofits with specialized programs.

Like COAT, Feed the Need is designed to impact those in need in multiple ways.

“First and foremost, we are doing this to reach out to the needy,” Foster said.

It is not only about connecting them with the resources to fulfill their physical needs, but also to provide a message of meaning and hope.

Along with the other organizers, Foster believes that those who are blessed can give back and use their gifts to help others. People are requested to bring donations of clothing and non-perishable food items. The HOPE bus, High Point Regional Hospital mobile health unit, will be on site to do health screenings.

The day will conclude with a free concert in the gymnasium at 7 p.m. Live music will be provided by

The Morning.

This year’s speaker will be Derwin “Dewey” Gray, who played football for the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers. Gray is a national speaker who is known as the evangelism linebacker.

Foster feels that COAT awareness day as well as Feed the Need will inspire folks to volunteer to do something to help COAT help others.

“I would hope that folks would come out and learn more about what we are doing at COAT and the ministry that we have,” said Ray Luther, COAT vice president. “We would love to talk to those who are interested in volunteering and helping in some way. Anything that folks could do would help.”

“I would love to have every single church in the Archdale-Trinity area get behind this,” Foster said.

“My passion and my desire with Feed The Need is that this thing will grow. This is not about one church.

“We Want to be Your Neighborhood Pharmacy!�

Then said Jesus unto His Disciples, If Any (Man) Will Come After Me, Let Him Deny Himself, and Take Up His Cross, and Follow Me. Matthew 16:24

Your Bank for Life.

Steve Foley, Vice President, Business Development

Moral Bravery Bravery is knowing the right thing to do and doing it willingly in the face of considerable risk, and even fear, with the full knowledge of the risk. It is not fearlessness; being fearless in the face of danger is reckless or foolhardy and a man who does what he knows to be the right thing despite his fear is undoubtedly braver than the man who feels no fear. Many a brave soldier or firefighter has faced a hail of bullets or gone in to a burning building with great fear in his or her heart, but knowing it was the right thing to do. We usually think of bravery as involving physical risk such as injury or death, but there is also moral bravery, where we risk humiliation or the negative judgement of our friends, family or colleagues.

For example, speaking an unpleasant but necessary truth, such as telling someone that what they are doing is wrong, as in blowing the whistle on illegal practices in the workplace. Doing the right thing frequently requires courage, because we are not always rewarded, and may even be punished or ostracized for doing so. St. Thomas Aquinas considered bravery to be crucial for the virtuous life precisely because a kind of moral or psychological courage is often necessary to carry out the other virtues. The good life requires fortitude and endurance because it is sometimes a long and hard journey, and one brave act does not make one brave.

Plus, all of my friends who are involved across the U.S. with ‘Dogs and Reading’ programs have seen the benefits themselves and are happy to hear of other programs starting up. “The reports from these types of programs show that the children are more relaxed and they have fun, thus reading scores improve significantly overall. “Don’t we all learn much better if we are relaxed and are having fun? Numerous scientific reports show lower blood pressures and positive attitudes in patients in hospitals and residents in nursing homes who have regular visits from therapy animals.�

Paws and Read started at John Lawrence Elementary on Feb. 19. The program will run at both schools through May. Paws and Read is one more way Communities In Schools of Randolph County connects resources with schools to make sure all students successfully learn, stay in school and graduate on time prepared for life, said Executive Director Sandi Norman. “The CIS model includes a mix of schoolwide prevention and one-on-one intervention services that meet a variety of needs. Their cornerstone program is one-on-one mentoring and volunteers are always needed.�

Other programs include BackPack Pals, weekend food for kids; Fill the Bus school supply drive; Adopt A School, which pairs schools with churches; Transitions, which includes activities to keep middle school students involved and interested; and Kool 2 B Kind, an anti-bullying program.

Beau, Deuce and Max are canine “mentors� in Communities In Schools’ latest community partnership, “Paws and Read.� Leigh Kiser, the dogs’ trainer, brought them to Trindale Elementary Feb. 15 to get started.

The concept of the program is that the dogs listen quietly while students practice reading aloud. Being neither judgmental nor quick to correct, the dogs put the students at ease and give them confidence. The students just see the activity as fun.

SAIL stands for Students Achieving In Literacy. “The children in the SAIL program here at Trindale are so excited about the opportunity to read with Deuce, Max and Beau,� said Barnes. “They got to meet them last week and were ready to sit down and read one-on-one with them as soon as they got here [Monday] morning. “When they left, they were telling everyone they met in the hallways about the experience. I see this as a win-win situation. The children get extra time to practice their reading and the dogs get extra experience with their training. “Paws and Read is another great example of how Communities In Schools is such a valuable asset to our school system.�

Christie Smith and Dara Matthews coordinate Paws and Read in the Archdale-Trinity area. “It’s amazing to see the calming effect the dogs have on the children,� said Smith. “Both Trindale and John Lawrence welcomed this program into their schools. The staff and administration at both schools have been very accommodating and willing to em‘bark’ on this new adventure!�

Leigh Kiser, an experienced trainer of therapy dogs, said she was glad all the children were excited following their morning of reading with the dogs. “I had no reservations whatsoever with this program as I’ve seen what dogs can do with giving back to humans through working with therapy dogs and now service dogs.

Smile. Bend your arm. Tap your fingers.

The book contains nearly 100 worksheets from matching to counting exercises.

“We wanted to work with High Point Regional because we knew that the inpatient rehab center had an excellent reputation, and the highest patient satisfaction scores possible,” Mary said.

First, Mary and Stephenie observed the techniques used by the center to determine if the worksheets could benefit others.

As Jeffries worked with the Rulli family, he urged them to incorporate more than just worksheets — they should tell their story.

“Hearing how the Rullis were able to struggle through all of the hardships of this transition and triumph with their loved one was moving for us,” Jeffries said. “We felt it provided a road map that would be even more powerful for family members of folks who’d also experienced a trauma themselves. So, we did urge them to tell their story.”

Mary, Sonya and Stephenie turned the worksheets into a scrapbook-type publication, which includes the family’s story as well as comments and photos.

The book records the progress of Sonya’s mother-in-law from a wheelchair to a walker and marks some milestones: • “She learned how to write legibly with her left hand even though she was righthanded prior to the stroke.”

• “She made every woman proud when she could dial a telephone and was the envy of men with her proficient use of a remote control.”

With those milestones reached, the family concluded that this process could help other families.

Jeffries feels that the Rullis’ book provides resources that were previously unavailable.

“Sonya’s Story” includes a wealth of resources, from worksheets which help to organize everything from financial inforFrom left, Mary Rulli, Sonya and her husband Bob Rulli, and Stephenie Rul- mation to a caregiver’s day-to-day journal.

most vital resource of all.

“We think ‘Sonya’s Story’ is unique in that it really tells the story of how one family struggled and overcame such a challenge with a loved one, and through perseverance and their own plan, moved their loved one to achieve things even they never thought she could achieve,” said Jeffries. “The book Stephenie and Mary have created really provides two wonderful resources in one.

First, he continued, it tells the emotional story of what their loved one and family members went through. It also provides a wealth of information and tools to assist someone currently going through a similar experience, and helps them have as positive an outcome as possible after exiting the traditional health care experience.

“One of the things we hear over and over again from our patients and their loved ones, both before and after they are discharged from the hospital, is how ‘lifechanging’ the events that landed them in our facility were, and how difficult and stressful going from a family member to a primary caregiver can be,” Jeffries said.

“We have just started providing the book to a select number of appropriate families.

We have heard a lot of positive responses from family members to whom the book has been offered, who seem grateful to have a guidebook to take home with them to continue to work with their loved ones on achieving the best outcomes possible.”

The book will not be for sale until the family has completed its community project with High Point Regional Health System.

However, they would like to input from other families.

Oates receives national award for bravery

Deputy Chad Oates of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office received the National Sheriff’s Association Medal of Valor Award. This award is presented to deputies for acts of bravery and courage in the line of duty. Recipients are chosen from a national pool of candidates.

Sheriff Maynard B. Reid Jr. made the presentation during a recent meeting of the Randolph County Commissioners.

Oates, after stopping a suspect vehicle in connection with the May Deputy Chad Oates 12 robbery at the Level Cross BP station on U.S. 220 in Randleman, took on heavy fire.

Inside the suspects’ vehicle were 11 loaded AK-47 rifle ammunition magazines, 24 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Ruger 9 mm magazine and a large quantity of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition. More ammunition was found in a house.

According to Reid, Oates was faced with imminent threat of serious bodily injury or death while responding to this call.

“Oates used his training and kept a clear head while trying to not only protect himself, but also the citizens of Randolph County,” Reid said. “Once again I and the entire Sheriff’s Office are proud of the bravery and professionalism displayed by Deputy Oates, and it is with great pleasure that he is given this award.”

Ladies Auxiliary chicken ’n dumplins dinner Saturday J

ust imagine Grandpa Jones rockin’ on the front porch, rubbin’ his belly and goin’ ‘yumm, yummm.’

BY BETSY FELDMAN He must be thinkin’ about the second annual chicken ’n dumplins fundraiser dinner by the Guil-Rand Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.

Dinner will be served from 5 to 7 p.m.

Saturday, March 20, at the Main Street fire station. “The food is delicious,� promised Auxiliary President Gwen Roberts, and the profits help the fire department and the community.

You can be sure Grandpa Jones wants to know what else will be on the menu — green beans, slaw, dessert and a drink.

The price is $7 per person. Kids ages 6 and under eat free with the donation of two cans of food.

And just to make it a little easier, they’ll have drive-through curb service.

While the fundraiser is a fun community event, the Ladies Auxiliary know it’s a serious cause. Proceeds help the commu-

nity — from providing food to firefighters while on extended calls to helping those in need. “We have helped several families who have had house fires with basic needs,� said Roberts. “At Christmas, we try to help a couple of families, whether it’s helping them get food or Christmas presents.�

They assist in other ways, too.

Members volunteer their time to help run Guil-Rand Fire Department’s awardwinning children’s fire camp and at the Bush Hill Heritage Festival. They even raise money to purchase equipment for the department. “We’ve helped purchase a training dummy for the fire department,� Roberts said.

In addition, the Ladies Auxiliary purchased the bicycle that is being raffled for Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Fire department secretary and Auxillary member Ginger Harmon says they’re hoping for about 250 people to purchase the meal. “We hope the community will come out to support us so we can support our firemen and the community,� said Harmon.

Planting demonstration at extension garden Cooperative Extension Agent Mary Helen Ferguson and Randolph County Master Gardeners will demonstrate how to plant and mulch trees and shrubs at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 20.

The demonstration will be held on the northeast corner of W. Walker Avenue and S. Church Street (next to the Extension office at 112 W. Walker Ave.) in Asheboro.

This garden is intended to demonstrate plants and practices that are well suited to the area.

To preregister, call 819-3000.

At the December banquet held by the Guil-Rand Fire Department, members of the Ladies Auxilary were applauded for their support. Members at the banquet, bottom row from left, are Ginger Harmon, Stephanie Cox, Phyllis Cockman and Melissa Skeen; second row from left, Christy Starnes, Ann Dollaeye, Linda Crotts, Natalie Strickland and Gwen Roberts; third row from left, Shelley Dodson, Lynn Richardson, Casey Puckett and Amanda Barber; top row from left, Laurie Hamilton, Becky Spencer, Kristy Sports and Heather Weatherman.
