Finch Farm Road detour begins today T
he N.C. Department of Transportation closed access to Finch Farm Road from just past Welborn Road to Old Mountain Road today (June 24) to begin construction on the first of two roundabouts. BY ROBYN HANKINS Only local residents will be allowed access to the closed stretch of road. All other traffic will be detoured. The roundabout at the intersection of Finch Farm and Old Mountain roads will be the first to be constructed, said Jeff Loflin, resident engineer with DOT Division 8, which includes Randolph County. To access the other end of Finch Farm Road drivers should turn left onto Welborn Road, right on Morris Road, right on Kennedy Road, and then left back onto Finch Farm Road. “We expect the detour to last four to six weeks,” said Loflin. Roundabouts are a type of circular intersection where traffic never actually stops. Drivers turn right onto the roundabout, travel counterclockwise and then make another right to continue to their destination. Loflin said they will begin construction on the second roundabout, at the Kennedy Road intersection, after the first is completed. “When (the Old Mountain Road roundabout) is almost done we’ll open it up to traffic, then close the Kennedy Road inter-
section and start that roundabout,” he explained. The Kennedy Road roundabout will detour traffic right onto Old Mountain Road then left on Fuller Mill Road, then left again back onto Finch Farm. Businesses and residents on Kennedy Road may access the road from Welborn and Morris roads. DOT hopes to have both roundabouts complete by the time school resumes in August, but acknowledges that it will be a “tough schedule.” Trinity City Manager Ann Bailie agreed that the schedule is tight and pointed out other possible complications. “We may have to move some sewer lines,” Bailie told City Council at their June 15 meeting. “There’s also summer school (at Wheatmore High School).” However, she added, “DOT did say they would resurface Finch Farm all the way back to Interstate 85.” Roundabouts for Finch Farm Road were proposed after DOT conducted a study last July. Afterward, David Willet, traffic engineer with Division 8, told the NEWS that the intersections did not meet the requirements for a stoplight because the heaviest traffic was at peak commuting times, not spread consistently throughout the day. Trinity City Council voted to support the roundabouts in October 2009 despite protests from city residents. DOT had no other funds it could apply to solve the problems along Finch Farm Road and the SEE ROUNDABOUTS ON PAGE 3

At the June 16 storytime, Ben Cherry’s energetic presentation was based on the life of Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard the pirate. He was accompanied by “Gigi,” his pirate counterpart. Although the program was designed for children in kindergarten to eighth grade, parents and grandparents became immersed in Cherry’s racy narrative, which also highlighted colonial America, Outer Banks history and the history of pirates. Enthusiastic participant Nina High enjoyed Cherry’s explanation of the types of pistols and swords which would have been used by pirates of Blackbeard’s era in the early 1700s. Following the presentation, kids scavenged the library shelves for books about pirates. “We just want to keep everybody reading this summer,” said librarian Carol Motta. Blackbeard’s visit was the kickoff session of the library’s summer reading program. Storytimes for school-aged children will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesdays. Magical storyteller Mark Daniel will visit at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 27. For a schedule, visit www.randolphlibrary. org/summerreading.html or call 431-3811.

BASS tourney beats the heat at High Rock T
he Bass Anglers Sportsman Society North Carolina Chapter’s ‘Yadkin Challenge’ held the third in its series of 2010 tournaments on High Rock Lake Saturday, June 12. The tournament is a fundraiser for state-wide youth and conservation programs. BY BILL FRAZIER There were several large and small tournaments at the various access points around the lake, fishermen hoping to capitalize on recent reports of great fishing at this Yadkin River chain lake. They were not disappointed. All but one of the teams that returned to the ramp to weigh in had the limit of five fish. Third place honors went to the local favorite father-son team of Randy and Lucas Hutchins. These guys had 12.08 pounds. Second place went to the team of Beaver and Parks with 12.80 pounds. First place by a landslide went to the local team of Big Mike Hedgecock and Brian Sorrel, fishing out of both the Shamrock and Archdale Bass Clubs. These guys toted a hefty bag of five fish to the scales
weighing a whopping 21.14 pounds, including the big fish of the tournament at 5.23 pounds. The next tournament will be Saturday, Aug. 14, at Tuckertown Lake’s Flat Creek Landing, better known as “the Graveyard.� The entry fee is $60 per one or two-man team with $50 of the $60 paid back to contestants. The remaining $10 per entry goes toward state-wide NC BASS youth and conservation programs. While this tournament is scheduled to launch at 6 a.m., the high temperatures last week took their toll on everyone, with one contestant being forced to withdraw due to health concerns. Many of the contestants suggested that it might be better to shorten the tourney hours at the August event given the probability of excessive heat strain on the anglers and fish. We will certainly consider any concerns the morning of the tournament. For more information, stop in at either of the two fine bait and tackle retailers in our area: K&J Tackle in Jamestown, across from the Jamestown Library, or Fishing Fever on Fairfield Road, just east of its intersection with Uwharrie Road. Information is also available at www. anglersites.com, www.fishbyte.net or by calling Bill Frazier at 880-0627.

WHS Booster Club says thanks To the editor, The Wheatmore Athletic Booster Club’s first poker run was a tremendous success. There was a huge number of motorcycles, riders, classic cars and even a recovery vehicle with a trailer. The run began at Wheatmore High School, where riders registered and had breakfast provided by Bojangles. The procession, escorted by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office elite motorcycle unit, snaked through Randolph County and through the beautiful Caraway Mountains. Stops were made at the Richard Petty Museum, the Citgo in Siler City and Cox’s Harley Davidson in Asheboro. The procession trav-
eled back to Wheatmore High School, where the winning hand was determined. Lunch was prepared by Booster Club members and available to participants. Door prizes were donated by various businesses. The winner of the 50/50 drawing donated it back to the Booster Club’s fundraiser. A cash prize was awarded for the best hand. The worst hand “winner” was refunded the entry fee. This will be an annual event and is expected to be one of the club’s bigger fundraisers. Plan to participate next year about the same date! Rich Guilliouma Wheatmore Booster Club
Letter to the editor
A one-track mind is a terrible thing to waste B
eing in a world of your own can be hazardous to your health. Well, mine anyway. Last Monday, I left work at the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce early to head for home with one thought in mind — to mow my 40 acres (really about four acres) before the rain. As with everyone else, our grass and weeds are growing so fast that we are having to mow twice a week. If I mow all four-plus acres at one time, it usually takes about six to seven hours. I’ve got a small mower. Raking is a chore this old girl hates. I changed into my regular mowing clothes, put on my dad’s old hat that I wear every time I mow, retrieved the tattered towel I use for the seat on my mower and headed to the barn to start my trusty John Deere 242. The sky was mostly sunny with a few clouds in sight. The temperature was stifling — hot and humid. I spoke to Larry, Daniel and Thomas Cribbs (of Sophia Diesel Co.) who rent our shop in the barn, then started the task of mowing the front and side yards and then behind the house. I did notice darker clouds moving in from the north and west, but over me the sky was still kind of clear. When I mow the sound of the motor is so loud that I sing to myself or think about something going in our family or in the church. On this day, I was trying my best
to remember words to a song my brother Ardel Tucker, friend of Seth Farlow, and myself were trying to learn during one of our music practices at church. The words kept rolling around in my brain. According to my neurologist, an MRI of my head indicated that I do not have a brain. I sure hope he was being funny. My friends and family think the same thing at times. Have you ever gotten something on your mind and just couldn’t shake it? Well, that song, “The Old Crossroads,” kept bugging me and I just kept hearing the music and the words. I tried and tried, but I couldn’t remember all of it. I didn’t notice the sky above me was getting darker and filling with more clouds because my head was still in the singing mode mingled with the mowing mode. A one-track mind trying to do two things is dangerous. I finished the first couple acres, headed toward the barn to mow and never looked up. I went around and around the field with only one thought on my mind — that song. Oh no, a couple drops of rain hit the top of my hat and the top of the mower. I finally looked up and noticed that the sky was getting darker. Hurry, I told myself, and mow the hill beside the driveway and a little more in the field before the rain really comes. What I wasn’t hearing was the thunder above.
Later, I learned that Larry sent out his son Daniel to yell at me, but remember, I was still in the singing and mowing modes. I never saw him or heard him whistle. I just kept doing my thing. All of a sudden, a loud noise jolted my mower and shook the hood until it jumped. The latches on the hood of my John Deere have been broken for years and it just sits in the brackets. That hood actually jumped. OK Lord, warning taken. I looked up just in time to see a streak of lightning over the trees. Mr. John Deere was put into No. 6, which is the fastest it can do, and we headed for the safety of the barn, but not in time. The rain came. Dad’s hat has been washed many times, but I think that is the first time it was washed while perched on my head. When I made it inside the shop, my first words were, “Well, I’ve had my bath.” Larry headed over to one of the shelves and brought out the dishwashing liquid and told me to finish the job. Now, I don’t exactly know if he meant the bath or going back outside to be hit by the lightning flashing all around us. I just sat down beside Daniel in an old chair, away from the door, to watch the storm and the torrential rain. Figured I was safe from the rain there. Wrong. The roof was leaking and guess who was sitting under the leak. Remember, I just had a scare and had gotten wet. I didn’t think anything about
Phyllis East Walking in Faith the water coming over the brim of the hat onto my shoulders. I just thought dad’s hat was dripping wet. The rain finally stopped enough that I could take off for the house, so I thought. My new knee won’t let me go fast, yet. But I was getting down that drive as fast as I could. Guess what? I got wet again. OK, I should have taken the dishwashing liquid with me and I could have had my bath, washed my hair and never skipped a beat. Except it started thundering and lightning again. Safe at last, I entered the house. As the thunder and lightning rolls and my heart sings “The Old Crossroads” again, I remember God’s promise to watch after his people, especially the one with a one-track mind sitting on a John Deere mower with words from a song going over and over in her head during a storm with lightning and thunder all around. Thank you, Lord.
Local agencies grateful for United Way T
he United Way of Greater High Point ran an ‘amazing’ campaign, said Sandi Norman, executive director of Communities In Schools of Randolph County. The campaign, led by Leah Price, which raised $4,336,572, fell short of its $4,525,000 goal. Here is the amazing part. “For the third straight year, the United Way of Greater High Point, which serves High Point, Archdale, Trinity and Jamestown, had one of the very best campaigns among the 70 United Way organizations throughout North Carolina,” said Bobby Smith, president of the organization. This is remarkable considering the economic situation, Norman added. at work in “Although CIS, like the other Archdale-Trinity agencies, received a cut in our allocations, we are grateful for the help the United Way provides for our programs in the Archdale-Trinity area,” said Norman. Archdale Senior Center also experienced cuts, as all the United Way partners did, but Joy Branning, director, said United Way money is a godsend for senior citizens. “Because of United Way funding, senior citizens in Archdale, Trinity and Sophia are provided with free trans-
portation, socialization, nutritious meals, insurance counseling, prescription assistance and a safe environment that otherwise would not be provided without the help of United Way,” she said. “Without United Way, we could not serve the 40 plus seniors we are serving at this time.” The allocations are decided through Program Review Teams, which included Archdale-Trinity volunteers. More than $3.2 million dollars will be allocated in July to nonprofit agencies. Last year, the agency allocated almost the same amount, less than a 1 percent difference. Just like its nonprofit partners, United Way itself made cutbacks. United Way’s internal budget was reduced by 5 percent for the second consecutive year, with the intent to keep dollars for use by partner agencies, said Smith. Norman sympathizes with the cutbacks. “Like everyone else in the nonprofit world, we are faced with doing more with less as the needs are greater while the resources are fewer.” The United Way’s 10 full-time staff members do more than fundraise for partner agencies. They coordinate efforts that benefit other nonprofits, like Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity. In May, United Way worked with letter carriers for a food drive. For COAT, that meant more than 5,000 pounds of food. In total, the drive raised more than 35,000 pounds,
United Way helps collect more food

ita Walker, executive director of Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity, likes to give credit where credit is due. That includes the Archdale post office and United Way of Greater High Point.

abouts are funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as the economic stimulus package. ARRA projects compete to get the money, and the more support a project has from local government and businesses, the better its chances of being funded. Since Trinity’s municipal limits include only a portion of both intersections, the Randolph
County Commissioners also voted to support the roundabouts last October. “This project gives us a chance to get something done quicker,” Commissioner Darrell Frye commented at the time. “This will slow traffic, and we saw this as a better plan than doing nothing.” DOT also may put in a right turn lane along Welborn Road.

he seventh of the works of the flesh mentioned by Paul in his epistle to the Galatians is strife, which is a translation of the Greek word “eris.� The word “eris� can be translated as strife, or contention, variance, or even quarreling, fighting, and discord. It is the outward manifestation of enmity, in the same way that mercy and compassion are the manifestation of love. Whereas enmity may remain largely internal, like a worm gnawing away at our insides, strife inevitably breaks out into discord and quarrels, thus infecting others with negativity and hostility. It is bad enough when this happens among strangers and enemies, but it is particularly tragic when strife creates discord among families and friends. This sin of the flesh is also particularly likely to affect churches or religious groups. Consider how many churches have bitterly divided over doctrinal issues or how many wars have been fought over religious issues. Instead of coming together in common cause and being united by love, we are divided by hatred and strife. We should let the love of God permeate our life and being, and melt away into thin air the hatred and strife.

ABWA speaker reveals ‘hidden gem’ M
arlene Hedrick calls the Doll & Miniature Museum of High Point ‘a hidden gem in our own backyard.’
Corbin Daniel Brewer
New arrival Travis Brewer and Brittany Singleton Brewer of Washington announce the birth of their son, Corbin Daniel Brewer, born May 7, 2010. He weighed 8 pounds, 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. The grandparents are Lewis and Joyce Singleton of Washington, Kelly and Sherry Grooms of Archdale and Ronnie and Missy Brewer of Trinity. The great-grandparents are Clara and Rudolph Anderson of Stokes, Gary and Juanita Phillips of Archdale, Barbara and Marvin Thacker of Archdale, Barbara Brewer of Archdale and Judy Bryant of Thomasville. Marie Parker of Hickory is his great-greatgrandmother.
Hedrick was the keynote speaker at the Golden Arch Charter Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association May 27 at Messiah Too!! She spoke on the history of the Museum and the impact it has made on the area. Museum founder Angela Peterson spent more than 50 years working, traveling and collecting dolls. Her collection, considered to be one of the finest in the world, included antique dolls of china, wood, bisque, wax, cloth and tin. The collection, which dates back as far as the 1800s, was gathered from 44 countries. Of special note are more than 130 Shirley Temple dolls and a Princess Diana doll with a long wedding gown. The oldest and most valuable dolls consist of Crèche dolls, some dating back to 1490. The large 10-foot by 7-foot nativity scene is considered one of the finest in the country. In addition to boasting more than 2,700 dolls from around the world, the Museum also features miniature displays. The Museum has become a must-see attraction for doll enthusiasts everywhere, Hedrick said. “Out-of-town visitors to our museum also spend money in local hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, car rentals and other attractions,â€? Hedrick pointed out. “Although we draw visitors from all over the world, we encourage our local community to support the Doll Museum, a hidden gem in our own back yard.â€? Other chapter business included recognition of new member Rita Spriggs and the election of new Board members for 2010-2011. All chapter activities keep with the mission to bring together women of diverse backgrounds to grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking, support and national recognition.

Archdale gears up for Fun Fourth C
reekside Park will rock at the annual Fun Fourth Festival, but come early — parking inside the park will be limited. BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER The Main Street entrance to the park is under renovation. A temporary entrance is on Mose Drive also off Main Street. The park offers three lots — at the recreation center, near the tennis courts and at Randolph Community College. Once those lots are full, no other vehicles will be allowed in the park. Archdale police will direct traffic.
Walk-in entrances are located in several neighborhoods — Rush Hollow on Weant Road; Water’s Edge and Courtland Park, off Wood Avenue; and Elks Ridge off Suits Road. A walk-in entrance is also on the west side of Main Street, at the Guil-Rand Fire Department. Those with mobility issues may contact the recreation department for special parking arrangements. Call 431-1117, ext. 315. Archdale Parks and Recreation Director Elaine Albertson has advice for festival goers — come early and bring your blankets or lawn chairs. The fun starts at 3 p.m. The fun will continue to 9:30 p.m. when fireworks will fill the sky.
“Admission is free,� she added. “There will be music, amusement rides and a variety of food and craft vendors in addition to the fireworks display.� Albertson said normal park rules will apply — no alcohol or weapons are allowed. While pets are usually welcome at the park, Albertson said pets are discouraged during the Fun Fourth. Albertson and the rec staff have organized the event for years. “The band is my favorite part, and I just enjoy watching everybody have a good time,� Albertson said. “We are just looking forward to the same type of good, free family event as in the past.�

Landscape leads to retreat Willie and Norma Bare of 4223 Oak Haven Drive earned the June recognition from Friends of Trinity. The landscape includes a raised flower bed planted with day lilies, begonias, impatiens, salvia and marigolds.

A clematis-filled arbor leads to a retreat created with the use of a stone lined stream, waterfall and koi pond surrounded by day lilies, irises, hydrangeas, azaleas and punctuated with whimsical statues. The landscape evolved over 10 years through a collaborative effort between the couple. Norma is the designer and Willie is the laborer.

Don loves to work in his garden. secretary, now works with James Williams. She praised Don’s kindness to his clients. “Don was a real good person, easy to work with and easy to work for,” Sherri said. “I fussed at him all the time because he didn’t charge enough. He would do some work for a client, something that took half a day to do, and charge them $20.” Sherri recalls a particular act of kindness. “There was an older man who came in,” she said. “The man didn’t have an appointment but Mr. Miller saw him anyway. What the man really needed to do was borrow some money, so Mr. Miller gave it to him knowing that he would probably never see it again.” Don’s retirement allows him to cultivate a special hobby — flower and vegetable gardens at his Hillsville home. He is especially proud of his Mock Orange and Trillium. He is still an avid reader and a family man. He and Ruth occasionally visit their family, which now includes five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. “After 40 years, I still love and am still in love with that man — the man of my life,” Ruth said. “He is the most loving and patient man.” The scrapbook reflects that. In the final entry, Ruth writes, “Don did wonders for his community. As he said one time to a friend, ‘This is my town.’”
Ruth stands out in community service Behind the Meet Your Neighbor focus, Don Miller, stands his wife, Ruth. According to family and friends, Ruth’s support enabled Don to place such a strong emphasis on community service. “She is about the most sacrificing individual for her family that I have ever seen,” said the Millers’ daughter, Angela Dyson. “Everything she does revolves around her family.” And she does it quietly, Angela added. Marian Tillman agrees. Ruth, like Marian, was a member of the steering committee which founded the Archdale Public Library. Even during this formative stage, Ruth continued her volunteer work with the PTA. Ruth’s leadership was selfless, said Marian. While she did not seek the limelight, she was a force in creativity, said Marian.

RCC project leads to Preservation Commission logo
J
ust as it happens in the real world of work, none of the logo designs were quite what the Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission was looking for. However, that didn’t stop a determined group of Randolph Community College students in the advertising and graphic design program.
Four teams of students presented logo designs to the Commission last November as part of their fall semester class project. None of those designs were chosen, but three second-year students — DeAna Ramirez, Jamie Kellis and Bryan Kennedy — decided to continue working with the Commission on a volunteer basis. They reworked the designs and came up with some new ideas. “Our Commission members were very impressed with the students from RCC,” said Hal Johnson, chairman of the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission.
“They worked with us as a group as well as individually. It was a great learning process for them.” One of the earlier logos was based on the exterior of the historic 1909 Randolph County Courthouse, but it was suggested that the students look inside the building as well. “One Commission member suggested we look at features inside the courthouse as inspiration for the logo instead of the outside,” said Ramirez. “There was a unique ceiling tin used in that courthouse. I started developing a new logo design based on that ceiling tin.” When the students presented the new and revised logos in April, the Commission gravitated toward the new one. “They wanted to know if I could use blue
on it,” she explained. “I had made it more monochromatic.” Because the students were getting ready to graduate by then, Ramirez decided to finish the work on her own. “I did three different versions with a blue background,” she continued. “I presented them on my own (at the May meeting) and they chose one, voted on it and passed it. I was so excited. I’ve been waiting on this moment since last year.” Ramirez, 31, graduated May 12 with an associate degree in advertising and graphic design. In addition to her work for the Commission, Ramirez completed a six-month internship with King’s English in Greensboro. She has developed her own website,
www.graphicninja.net, which includes her portfolio developed through her studies and internship work. The Historic Landmark Preservation Commission is Randolph County’s official body to identify, preserve and protect historic landmarks, and to educate the public about those resources and historic preservation in general. Its members are appointed to staggered terms by the County Commissioners. The Commission’s recommendations are approved by the County Commissioners or, through interlocal agreements, the elected officials of the county’s seven municipalities. Randolph County currently has eight designated historic landmarks and seven cultural heritage sites. The Winslow House, which contains the Trinity Preservation Historical Society museum, is a historic landmark. The house is on N.C. 62. www.co.randolph.nc.us/hlpc
Red Cross effort could merit scholarship for students
S
ummer is a time for students to relax, have fun with friends and spend time with family. However, students can also use free time to help out in their community. That’s why the American Red Cross is offering an opportunity for two scholarships this summer for students who participate in its Bloodstock program from trying again.
To qualify, students must plan and organize a blood drive by Aug. 31. A $2,000 scholarship will be given away to a student whose drive collects at least 50 pints of blood. To qualify for a $1,000 scholarship, at least 35 pints must be collected. Winners of the scholarships will be selected at random from qualifying students. “Last summer, the Red Cross challenged students to help ensure a sufficient blood supply for sick and injured hospital patients,” said
Perri Coltrane, senior donor recruitment representative for American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. “Dedicated students from throughout our community answered the challenge, and two of them were lucky enough to win some funds for college. This is a wonderful example of young people showing they care and making a real difference. We’re hoping to see even greater participation in Bloodstock 2010.” Not only will Bloodstock give students a chance to earn a scholarship by coordinating successful blood drives this summer, it will also provide them with benefits such as networking opportunities, leadership development skill and a chance to cultivate many other skills that will last a lifetime. Ashley Stacy already hosted a Bloodstock scholarship blood drive May 7 at Fairfield United Methodist Church, collecting 44 units of
blood. She has qualified for the $1,000 scholarship. Two additional blood drives are scheduled this summer. Lauren Deaton will host a drive from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 28, at Allen Jay Baptist Church, 1100 E. Fairfield Road, High Point. Appointments are strongly recommended. Call Lauren at 906-8201. Donors will receive a T-shirt. Katy Ezzell will host a drive from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 15, at the Grubb Family YMCA, 609 Trindale Road, Trinity. Appointments are strongly recommended. Call Katy at 314-0211. Donors will receive a T-shirt. For more information or to complete an application for a Bloodstock 2010 scholarship, visit redcrossblood.org.
