Resolution asks state not to cut school funding C Budget belt

hris Tuft, a third grade teacher at Archdale Elementary School and president of the Randolph County Association of Educators, feels the solution to the state’s economic woes shouldn’t affect the education of its children. BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER AND ROBYN HANKINS

That’s why he asked the Randolph County Board of Education to endorse Fund Schools First, a joint resolution by the N.C. Association of Educators and the N.C. Parent Teacher Association. The Board unanimously approved the resolution at the April 19 meeting. The resolution urges lawmakers to restore the $225 million in discretionary funds and jobs that were cut from the current state budget. According to the resolution, of those losses, 88.34 percent ($198.76 million), directly hurt classrooms by reducing the number and effectiveness of teachers, instructional support staff and teacher assistants. Tuft told the Board that the 2009-2010 budget cuts have directly affected his classroom — he now shares a teacher assistant with two other teachers. Teacher assistant funds took a hit last year when RCS had to send $2.8 million back to the state to help narrow the budget shortfall. “I used to have her (an assistant) every day for my guided reading groups, but now she is only available three days a

week,” explained Tuft. “The other two days I have to improvise, and my students get less individual attention.” Other cuts have impacted the classroom. Archdale Elementary did not hold math and science week this year because funds for guest speakers and activities were not in the budget, not when teacher positions and salaries are in question, and three classrooms serve as combination grades. He also pointed out Randolph Chris Tuft County teachers didn’t get the $100 per year classroom allowance that they had received in the past. “I didn’t get reimbursed for school supplies that I bought this year,” Tuft said. “But I still needed the supplies, so they had to come out of my own pocket.” Trinity High School Principal Denise Lackey says they have felt the pinch. “We have definitely tried to find ways to cut back,” said Lackey. “There are so many little things that we have cut back on — paper usage, telephone usage, stamps, anything we can. We have thought about what we really need and, if we can, we do with less of it. “High school teachers can use 7,000 to 8,000 sheets of paper per month,” she continued. “The Archdale-Trinity

gets tighter A

fter budget cuts at the state level last year, Randolph County Schools tightened their belts. However, the school system will have to squeeze to a tighter notch because more cuts are looming. BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER AND ROBYN HANKINS

“Talk right now is a 3 to 5 percent reduction,” said RCS Finance Officer Todd Lowe. “We won’t know until the General Assembly meets. It would depend on tax revenue. We have no idea what that would mean for personnel.” Last year RCS had to send $2.8 million back to the state to help narrow the budget shortfall. Although it hurt, they had to use teacher assistant funds to refund the money. “We were able to re-employ, through Title I and stimulus money, many of the teacher assistants who lost their jobs,” Lowe added.

Artwork depicts state scenes The Hopewell Elementary School media center looks much brighter this spring thanks to parent volunteer Caprice Thrift. Thrift worked diligently throughout the school year to paint window views of Randolph County’s Pisgah covered bridge, Chimney Rock, Biltmore House and the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, said media specialist Amy Caputa. The four scenes were designed to depict North Carolina seasons, regions and landmarks. Thrift started the project in September. Thrift is pictured with her children Kynnedy and Ty, who spent many hours after school waiting on their mom Photo submitted while she painted, said Caputa.

Proposed budget: no tax increase, but fees may rise A

rchdale’s proposed budget includes an increase in water and sewer utility fees, but no increase in taxes. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, at City Hall on Balfour Drive.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS If approved, the minimum rates for water and sewer will depend on the size of the meter. The minimum rate for the smallest meters — such as for a residence — will be $13.25 per month for up to 2,000 gallons of water and $16 for sewer. Every additional 1,000 gallons adds $4 for water and $6 for sewer. The numbers represent a 6 to 7 percent increase. As reported in a previous edition of the NEWS, pro-

posed garbage, recycling and stormwater fees stay the same. City staff had proposed higher fees at the May 3 budget meeting, but Council members asked for lower rates. Archdale’s water and sewer budget increases next year as the city starts to receive water from the Randleman Regional Reservoir. More than half a million dollars of the budget goes toward the purchase of water and payment of debt on the new Randleman Water Treatment Plant. Archdale will have to pay $68,540 for its share of improvements to High Point’s Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. High Point is increasing its rate for water, but

City of Archdale

sewer rates are expected to go down in the fall. Archdale has its own share of infrastructure to build and maintain; $339,000 worth in the coming year. City Council, staff and Dan Pritchett of Jamestown Engineering Group Inc. discussed upgrades and potential growth into areas east and south of the city at their annual retreat in February. Council members indicated that getting sewer service out to Interstate 73/74 (U.S. 311 bypass) would be a priority. The bypass is scheduled to open about June as far as the Cedar Square interchange in Glenola. The highway will connect to U.S. 220 in Asheboro in 2012. SEE ARCHDALE ON PAGE 4

Duke equipment failure prompts outages at A-T schools

n equipment failure at a substation led to power outages at four Archdale-Trinity schools, and also at Liberty and Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel elementary schools.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER The substation is on Archdale Road. The power outage occurred about 5:30 a.m. Monday and impacted about 1,100 Randolph County residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The power outage was caused by an equipment problem in a substation,â&#x20AC;? said Rita Sipe, spokesperson for Duke Energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It affected customers that were on that circuit. A crew was dispatched immediately, repairs were made and power was restored at 9:21 a.m.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hoping that it would be restored so we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to dismiss early,â&#x20AC;? said Randolph County Schools Superintendent Donald Andrews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come on prior to our pre-determined time, we made the decision to dismiss the students.â&#x20AC;? According to Marty Trotter, assistant superintendent of operations, even though power was restored, there was insufficient time to prepare lunch. Duke Energy supplies electricity for ArchdaleTrinity area schools. Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel and Liberty use Progress Energy.

According to Progress Energy spokesperson David McNeill, some 550 customers were without power because a tree had fallen on a line. He could not verify if the two schoolss had lost power for this reason.

Readin’, Writin’ and Ridin’ for CIS C

ommunities In Schools of Randolph County invites motorcycling friends to join them for the ﬁfth annual Readin’, Writin’ and Ridin’ beneﬁt poker run on Saturday, May 22. BY GWEN TAYLOR Communities In Schools Photo submitted

Participation from throughout the Archdale-Trinity area is needed more than ever to support Communities In Schools of Randolph County’s activities. CISRC Executive Director Sandi Norman explains, “Even though we moved our administrative ofﬁce to Asheboro earlier this year, we are still very much a part of the Archdale-Trinity community. The largest percentage of services we provide and students we serve is in the nine ArchdaleTrinity area schools.” She elaborated with the following statistics: • For the 2008-2009 school year, CISRC mentored 305 students one-on-one; 60 percent (183 students) were in the ArchdaleTrinity area. • An additional 1,182 students beneﬁtted from our peer mentoring program; 71 percent of those were in the Archdale-Trinity Bulldog Buddies and Breakfast Buddies programs.

The ride will leave from ATMS, as pictured above in 2009. • In the Archdale-Trinity area, 2,510 students received services in one or more CISRC programs. • The CISRC mentoring program gets results. Last school year, 94 percent of mentored students were promoted, 58 percent maintained or improved their grades and 43 percent had fewer absences. More important than the statistics are the relationships formed between the students and their adult or peer volunteers. One teacher noted, “Each day during calendar (time), Alex would count down the days till Tanya would come. On Thursdays, he would watch the clock, anticipating her arrival. He felt safe and cared for when he spent time with her.” The ride will leave from Archdale-Trinity Middle School. Registration starts at 9 a.m. and riders depart at 10 a.m. for a scenic tour of Randolph County.

A lunch break is planned for Ramseur Park, and the ride will end at the Guil-Rand Fire Station on Main Street in Archdale to draw for a 55-inch ﬂat screen TV and Toshiba netbook about 3 p.m. The Randolph County Sheriff’s motorcycle unit will accompany the riders again this year. If you are considering the ride, but cannot make the Archdale start, contact CISRC by phone or e-mail and they will arrange a meeting place along the route. The registration fee of $20 includes entry for the bike, driver, passenger, lunch, and one poker hand. Additional poker hands are $5 each or three for $10. Proceeds from the poker hands will be split 35 percent for the winning hand, and 15 percent for the worst hand. Split-the-pot tickets are $1 each or six for $5. For more information, call 625-0008 or e-mail cisrandolph@centurylink.net.

BUDGET CUTS

The culmination of the year came May 4. “The band ﬁnished this very successful year with a spring concert at Braxton Craven,” said Ferguson. Registration for next year’s band has concluded, said Ferguson, with a record number of participants. However, he encourages parents to still inquire by calling 431-4078.

April 19 meeting, board member Gary Cook told the NEWS that school ofﬁcials had indicated they were planning no cuts that would affect the classrooms. “If I ﬁnd out they’re going to hit the classrooms more, I’m going to be mad,” he said. “The classrooms have been robbed enough. I try to use common sense, but sometimes I wonder if the experts have any.” Throughout the state, school positions and salaries are in limbo as the General Assembly meets. However, budget concerns are not the only driving force in personnel decisions, explained Cathy Brady, assistant superintendent for human resources and administrative services with Randolph County Schools. Fluctuations in the student population can prompt changes that would require a teacher to divide instructional time between two or more schools, be moved to another school, have their hours reduced or, in a few cases, have their jobs cut. “These changes are driven by enrollment

changes,” said Brady. “If a school allotment changes, we have to adjust. We can’t keep a teacher at a school if the enrollment does not justify the position. “Right now we are proceeding conservatively, because it’s not likely that we’re going to get any more money (from the state).” Normal attrition is addressing some of the budget decisions. Some teachers are retiring, transferring to other school systems or changing careers. Not every situation is solved so easily. “Last year we did lose positions, but not as many as we could have, because we were able to shift people around,” Brady further explained. Budget cuts, however, meant that Randolph County Schools did not get those positions back. Still, allotment numbers did justify the addition of approximately 14 elementary school positions last year and some schools do have current vacancies, which is why RCS held a teacher job fair May 1, Brady added.

supplemental school tax has helped us out. We’ve used those funds to buy paper and put Smart Boards in just about every classroom. I feel very fortunate that we have the tax. It has saved this area.” Speciﬁc cuts from the Randolph County Schools budget have not been determined. The budget, along with Randolph County’s budget, will be posted online May 25. Randolph County Schools Finance Ofﬁcer Todd Lowe expects a 3 to 5 percent reduction in state funds. Rep. Harold Brubaker (R-District 78) is among those who strongly object to classroom cuts and offers another solution. “Education cuts are my hot button,” Brubaker said. “My theory is that we need to downsize the Department of Public Instruction. They have grown now, I am told, to between 700 and 800 [employees]. We can save dollars

for the school system, and not reduce education, which is so important, by reducing the hierarchy in Raleigh.” Brubaker added that the salary of a DPI employee averages $60,000 per year. He suggested that if “house cleaning” took place at DPI, there is a good chance that cuts in the classrooms wouldn’t have to be made. “Who knows better what the needs are? The teacher in the classroom or someone in Raleigh in a pink palace? “Local school boards and local systems are in place who know what the needs are — we don’t need someone in Raleigh to tell our local people what to do.” However, Brubaker added that if budget cuts do come about then classroom budgets should be frozen, including salaries for classroom teachers as well as their supply allowances.

There is an instructive metaphor that compares lashing out in anger to picking up hot coals to throw at your enemies. In so doing, you may hurt your enemy, but you will almost certainly hurt yourself in the process. Anger is like that. It often hurts the person harboring it more than the person toward whom it is directed. All of the negative feelings and resentments associated with anger are as likely to damage the angry person as they are to hurt the one they lash out against. Nelson Mandela has remarked, in this vein, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping that it will kill your enemies.â&#x20AC;? Anger is sometimes justiďŹ ed, but more often than not it is a sign of our selďŹ shness and egotistic peevishness. So, we should try to let go of our anger and resentment and resist the urge to pick up those hot coals. We will save ourselves a lot of pain and frustration.

Angela Allred, dancing in heaven T

he NEWS has printed tributes before, but this time we say farewell to one of our own. Angela Allred, NEWS reporter from about 2005 until illness kept her away from work in 2007, passed away May 4, 2010. She was just 39, but she left a brilliant impact on the lives around her. Each of her coworkers wanted to share, including former staff writers Michaele Stafford and Walter Taylor. Kathy Stuart, editor: The rain pounded my windshield as my cell phone rang. My daughter Amy answered it for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angela.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take a message,â&#x20AC;? I said. My heart pounded as hard as the rain when Amy relayed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer.â&#x20AC;? Angela had cancer in one breast, I think it was stage 0, but unexpectedly the doctors found stage 2 in the other breast. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to say except â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you.â&#x20AC;? And really, for the next few years, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all anyone could do as she endured treatments, complications and more complications. Through it all, she had this lively spirit that I adored. Sometimes her hair colors were as strong as the colors she loved to wear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Luminous Tulips nail polish, still my favorite. Angela integrated journalism and creativity, spinning her stories into our hearts. She covered education (no spinning there), but she loved to cover the cute stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like church dinners or kids winning awards. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a close bunch here at the NEWS. We get mad at each other, pout, fuss, argue endlessly about word usage or layout, but we also hug, laugh, eat chocolate and even love each other. Angela still feels like a part of us, of me. Luminous Tulips must be the color of heaven. Michaele Stafford: Angela was a kind and gentle spirit. She was passionate about the art of belly dancing, even encouraging some of us with more than ample bellies to give the craft a try. Her creativity carried over into all the aspects of her life and she strived to live each moment to its fullest potential. Her warm smile and positive attitude always brightened my day. It was a blessing to have known her and she will be greatly missed.

met Angela when she came by the office to talk. Despite the toll the cancer and the treatments took on her body, she remained a determined soul who spoke often about when she would be able to come back to work. She laughed and joked and caught up on our lives and the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. She wanted to be here, in the NEWS office, and out there among you, writing about your triumphs and adversities. Determined to regain her work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Angela I knew. A few years ago there was a small but flourishing prayer shawl ministry group at Archdale United Methodist Church. Angelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Linda Anderson, was part of that group, as was I, and some evenings Angela could be persuaded to bring her embroidery or jewelry work and join us. Those were good nights and her creative spirit buoyed us all. In fact, I briefly tried making jewelry as a direct result of watching Angela â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her creativity and ability to see designs were inspiring. She designed and made costumes. Only a few months before her death Angela stopped by the NEWS office for a chat and shared her joy about making a swing dance costume, then her frustration at being too ill to go out and wear it. Determined to continue her art. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Angela I knew. She was certain that things would be better. She started a column about her experiences, but never got around to finishing it. One of things that bothered her most was how breast cancer is portrayed. She wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really frustrates me how little is actually understood by the public. Too many of the stories skirt around the physical, psychological and sexual aspects.... Every thought or worry is not centered on death. I was upset because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look the same, because my life had changed, because plans were interrupted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people seem to think that once your doctor says your cancer will not be fatal that you should no longer be upset. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, it is great when you know that the cancer is not going to kill you, but that does not magically make everything all better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, I never really worried about dying. I had cancer as a child and knew it could be beaten.â&#x20AC;?

Angela was eloquent and articulate, with a fierceness that made her seem to radiate light even on her worst days. She fought, and fought, and fought some more, as long as she could, and never feared death. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Angela I knew. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Angela I miss.

Walter Taylor: Angela once asked me to read a story she wrote about crowded conditions at Trinity High School. She was concerned that someone at the school might be offended. Of course, it was a brilliant investigative report, and I told her that in my opinion, it would serve the community well. It ran and Angela won a first place award from the North Carolina Press Association that year. That is a remarkable thing by itself, yet she accomplished this while battling cancer at the same time. In that spirit, we should all honor Angela Allred by supporting Relay For Life and other efforts. Angela was a spunky little angel and I am honored to say that I once worked with her. Sadly, she left us much too soon, but her courage will always live on in my mind as an outstanding example of how to face adversity. She is a hero of mine.

Phyllis East: When Angela first came to the NEWS I started immediately calling her â&#x20AC;&#x153;youngin.â&#x20AC;? Not only because she was a lot younger than I, but because she had the zest of life, the vivacity and the mindset of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;youngin.â&#x20AC;? A free-spirited lady who was full of life, beautiful inside and out, courageous and sometimes a bit flambouyant, Angela could really get my â&#x20AC;&#x153;goat,â&#x20AC;? so to say. She, as well as our other co-workers, know I am a bit old-fashioned. I keep the same hairstyle, wear the same type of clothing. I am not a very colorful person, just a down-to-earth conservative woman. Angela, on the other hand, always liked to experiment with different hair colors and styles and different types of clothing, especially her belly-dancing costumes. Angela dyed her hair red one day. I can just see her now as she waited at her desk for me to see her new hair color. I guess my mouth dropped open. After that she always had that little quirky smile on her face when she changed something about herself because she knew it would shock me. I will miss that â&#x20AC;&#x153;youngin.â&#x20AC;? but I know she is resting from all her pain. Cancer is a terrible disease that takes our loved ones from us, but we can still have hope of seeing them again one day with a perfect, healthy body. I look forward to seeing Angela again smiling, free of pain and dancing in heaven.

Elizabeth Saunders: A few years ago, I thought that Angela and I would probably never be good friends. Oh, we got along well at work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we enjoyed helping each other find just the right word for an article â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but we were very different. She was fashionable and dynamic, always trying new things, and a belly dancer; I was bookish and methodical. She liked bright, warm colors and I, purples and greens. About a year ago, after constant illness had kept her away from work, I gave Angela a call. She wanted to see people, so I think we had dinner or watched a movie together. As the months went by, it turned out we had a lot in common. We both loved traveling and culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like ethnic food and foreign films. And scrapbooking, and art, and cats. She got me interested in Indian music and I took her to see an Australian movie. She understood if I had a meeting or was just too busy to make plans. I understood if she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel well enough to go out. Sometimes we just talked on the phone for a little while. Last week her dad, Tom Anderson, said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You were her friend.â&#x20AC;? What an incredible, unexpected honor. All that from a simple phone call. Robyn Hankins: I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hired at the NEWS until after Angela took a leave of absence to deal with breast cancer; in fact, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the reason I was hired. That said, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known her parents from church, and I

On the first day of class — algebra — all the fears of high school came back to her. She sat at her desk waiting for someone to make fun of her. “I was scared to death,” said Donna. Still, she kept a vision in her head — the Beta Club ceremony in high school. Donna’s No. 1 goal was to be inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. “I reached that goal on Nov. 4, 2009,” she said. As an active member of Phi Theta Kappa, Donna speaks about her educational experiences. “Going back to school was so frightening,” she said. “Now that I’m here, Donna’s mother, Mary Moore, and her husband Alan beamed proudly at it’s not as frightening as the state awards banquet.

The experience also fostered friendships. “From the first day on campus, I haven’t ceased to make new friends,” Donna said. “I never had friends in high school. Now, I’ve got friends around every corner.” She believes that friends Heather Callicutt, Patty Bodenhamer and Barbara Robinson boosted her desire to achieve.

But I thought there was just a slim chance I might get chosen, and I did!” she said. Donna submitted an essay about her success, along with a faculty letter of recommendation. She was selected by a committee of faculty and staff members from 17 applicants. As the RCC winner, Donna’s application was submitted to the state level. Donna, her husband Alan and mother Mary Moore traveled to Raleigh for the awards banquet April 14. “I wanted to take my mom,” said Donna. “She has been there for me through everything. It was just an awesome, wonderful day.” The rest of Donna’s family is proud of her, too. “My daughter said she is going to throw me a big ole party when I graduate,” she said. Donna is on schedule to complete her associate degree in December. According to RCC, in the future a four-year school might offer the junior and senior years of a healthcare management degree on RCC’s campus. “If that happens, I would like to do that,” said Donna. “Or I may do my CNA (Certiﬁed Nursing Assistant) after this.” Her husband Alan would support that, too. Alan is an assistant minister at Totally Committed Ministries in Asheboro. Donna sings in the praise and worship group. “He’s awesome,” said Donna. “He’s so proud of me.” Last May, Alan was laid off from Timken but returned in February. The time allowed Donna to focus intently on her studies. “He learned to cook, clean, do laundry. He would tell me, ‘Don’t worry about it, Honey. You get your [school] work done.” Donna’s journey included many lessons about parenting, marriage, self-conﬁdence, self-worth, family, faith and education. But the ultimate lesson learned was not found in a book — it was found in faith. “I am worthy of love,” she said. Cathy Hefferin, RCC director of communications, contributed to this story.

An Archdale man was arrested and charged with obtaining property by false pretense and possession of stolen property. Archdale police were alerted by an employee of CommunityOne Bank that a subject was at the drivethrough window attempting to cash a $700 check that had been reported stolen from an Archdale resident. In connection to the report, Emory Leroy Craven Jr., 43, of 5689 Uwharrie Road, was charged with four counts of obtaining property by false pretense and possession of stolen property. He was placed in the Randolph County Jail under a $5,000 secured bond. During the investigation, officers learned that checks had been stolen on April 9 from a resident of Trinity Road. The resident noticed the checks were missing from a checkbook he kept in a desk drawer. To date, seven of the checks, totaling $3,800, have been cashed. The investigation is ongoing, police said. FRAUD An employee of Wachovia Bank, 11245 N. Main St., told police that a man, who appeared agitated and nervous, entered the bank and attempted to cash a check that had been altered. The check was drawn on The SEFA Group in the amount of $1,214.50. When the employee told the man she was calling Wachoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate office about the check, the man left the bank. The check was collected as evidence.
