School board narrows options for budget cuts
A
budget shortfall requires that Randolph County Schools cut its budget by 3 percent or $537,290.
BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER The budget shortfall is due to state and county declines in revenues. At a July 19 work session, Board of Education members voted down a proposal to reduce the number of school resource officers or to reduce the number of months in which they were employed.

“I’m not for sacrificing the kids’ safety,” said board member Gary Cook of Trinity. The board voted to pursue line item reductions in four areas — instructional supplies, remediation, staff development and reduction of travel reimbursement. The Board will hold another budget work session prior to the next regular board meeting Monday, Aug. 16. Randolph County Schools Finance Officer Todd Lowe expects that the 2010-2011 budget will be finalized for presentation at the meeting. SEE OPTIONS ON PAGE 3

of the hardest budget years in history. In April, Randolph County Schools shifted local money from reading teachers to the lead teacher program. As a result of the Board’s action, reading teachers are funded through Title I money, which is based on the free and reduced lunch program. All but four elementary schools in the county are eligible for Title I money. Three of the four elementary schools — Hopewell, Lawrence and Trindale — are in the Archdale-Trinity attendance area. The fourth school is Farmer Elementary in the Asheboro area. The question is how to fund reading teachers at those four elementary schools. “I am for keeping reading teachers in the elementary schools. It is the county’s

CIS school supply drive revs up
hey can be a fashion statement or strictly utilitarian. They can feature princesses, cartoon characters and wacky designs. They can be big or small. BY GWEN TAYLOR Assistant Director Communities In Schools
Items needed Book bags 3-ring binders Pencils Subject dividers
Colored pencils Highlighters Crayons Student scissors
Wide-ruled notebook paper Pens - black, blue, or red ink Pencil bags and pencil boxes Composition books — one, three, or five subject Markers, thin or broad tip Marbled composition books
They hold books, paper, pens, snacks and a host of other items that won’t fit inside a pocket. They normally last only one school year and are what every student needs when school starts — book bags. Communities In Schools of Randolph County launched its annual Fill The Bus school supply drive with a request specifically for book bags. Citing a recent 30 percent cut in funding from the Randolph County Commissioners, CISRC Executive Director Sandi Norman explained that in past years, the organization bought a supply of book
bags. “We receive generous quantities of paper, notebooks and so forth from the community, but not so many book bags, probably because they are a bit more expensive. So, CISRC, in the past, has used its budgeted funds to make sure each of the students we help has a brand new book bag to start the school year off right. “This year we just don’t have the funds to do that, so we are appealing to the community to help us meet the needs of these approximately 300 students.” The book bags should be sturdy and relatively large, as most will be used by upper elementary school students. Book bags should not have wheels. The faith community is again playing a large part in helping CISRC meet this need. “These congregations see Fill The Bus as a part of their home missions work,” Norman explained. “We appreciate their generosity and could not provide the current level of support to our community without their help.”
Businesses also play a part in this year’s effort. Hubbell Industrial Controls is hosting a box for their employees to drop off items and other businesses are planning events and will donate the items to CISRC. CISRC also welcomes monetary donations for school supplies. These contributions can be sent to 1011 Sunset Ave., Asheboro, NC 27203. Items will be picked up Aug. 16.

Archdale changes street names T
he entrance to the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity may look like just a driveway, but it’s on its way to becoming a city street. BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS The entrance already sports a street sign labeling it as English Farm Road. The dirt road that formerly bore that name has been renamed Old English Farm Road. Archdale’s Street Network Plan, updated last year, shows the new road eventually connecting N.C. 62 with
School Road. That may be far off in the future, according to Planning Director Jeff Wells. The road will extend as part of natural development, not as part of any imminent plan. The YMCA street is 650 feet long, has a 50-foot right of way, and has curb, gutter and a sidewalk. “It’s more than a driveway,” said Wells. Planning
and Public Works staff inspected the street and found that it met public road requirements. As when any other development builds a street and then turns it over to the city, the acquisition has to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council. The Planning Board approved it July 12. City Council was to have voted on it at the July 27 meeting, too late for this week’s edition. If approved, English Farm Road will have a one-year warranty phase, after which the city will take over maintenance as part of Archdale’s street system.

CIS needs mentors ‘I
love CIS volunteers,’ Ms. Sweatt from New Market Elementary wrote on her end-of-year teacher survey form for Communities In Schools as she commented on volunteer Terri White. She went on to say that Ms. White was a great role model and talked in detail about her success with the students.
As executive director for Communities In Schools for the last six years, I have tried many approaches to recruit volunteers to mentor students in our schools. I’ve talked about the great need for some of our children to have another responsible, caring adult in their lives. I’ve given examples of real situations that often make me “tear up” when I tell them. I’ve quoted the research about the benefits of mentoring. In a survey by Commonwealth Fund, three-fourths of the mentors reported that their experience had had a “very positive’ effect on their lives. They felt that mentoring provided a break from their busy lives and a chance to give something back. Eighty-three percent indicated that they learned or gained something personally from their mentoring experience, including feeling that they were a better person, increased patience, friendship, a feeling of effectiveness and a chance to acquire skills. I’ve also stressed that the time requirement is quite short. It only takes an hour a week to change the life of a child. I’ve even tried to go the corporate route, attempting to convince employers that allowing their employees to mentor “on the clock” would be beneficial to them. And there are several documented benefits. Dr. Susan Weinberger, who is affectionately called Dr. Mentor, surveyed Allstate Insurance employees who had
mentored for only seven months and released these findings: Seventy-five percent of the employees reported that the activity improved their attitude at work. Eighty-eight percent felt very satisfied working as a mentor. Most of our mentors agree that they get more out of the relationship than they give. But then, while reading Ms. Sweatt’s comments, I thought, “Why not let the teachers tell the story?” The names of the children have been changed to protect their identity, but these are real comments about real volunteers who speak to the value a mentor has in the life of a child — spoken by those who see the results every day. “The mentor was wonderful for Billy. I wish there were plenty of mentors to go around because there are many students who would benefit from that special time with a mentor.” “Margaret has helped Allyson. With no female influence in her life, Allyson has benefitted and loved her time with Margaret.” “Britt was a positive role model, a great person for Bob to have in his life! He made a huge impact on Bob. (He even remembered his birthday!)” “I feel that this is a great program. For some of our students, this is the only positive adult interaction they get. They need a program like this to help them see the good in themselves and others.” “Thank you for putting me in contact with Mrs. Bobbie Hunt. Wow! My students and I could not have been so successful without her weekly support. What an amazing woman!” “Johnathan loved his special lunch dates with Mrs. Sharpe! She was extremely dedicated and did so much to help Johnathan

this year. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work with Mrs. Sharpe; she is wonderful.” There are so many more great testimonials from teachers, but space prohibits including all of them. Mentors are needed in every school; we need people of all ages and all walks of life to step up to the plate and make a difference in the life of a child. Businesses can help by allowing their employees one hour a week to go out into the community and mentor a child. Communities In Schools provides a brief training for any “new recruits” interested. Before becoming a mentor, the volunteers must agree to a background check. Then, CISRC staff will work diligently to place every volunteer with a child as soon as possible. Qualifications? Being a good listener and a willingness to help a child are most important! Communities In Schools surrounds students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Through a school-based coordinator, CISRC connects students and their families to critical community resources, tailored to local needs.

Splashing, swimming, lying in the sun, hair a little shorter now, and then I saw it — the fishing boat cruising along the shoreline. Not splashing, not spurting, not flying fast past the moments. It was PaPa. Showing Nanny the scenery, slowing down to experience life’s little moments, except this time there was no grimacing face, no clutching hand on his leg. Nanny wasn’t with PaPa, at least not sitting in the boat, but she was there in spirit. Enjoying the slow pace, enjoying the scenery, looking down upon us from Heaven as she smiles, knowing that her loving and caring spirit will be passed down to more generations. Knowing that the moments she spent on earth have left everlasting memories that will inspire me and others to continue to find ways to serve those in need. Locks of Love is just the first step for me.

shifting of funds from the reading teacher positions to lead teachers that I question,” said Archdale-Trinity Tax Council Vice Chairman Jeremy Godwin. “These three Archdale-Trinity schools may have to use Archdale-Trinity dollars to fund the reading teachers, but the tax advisory council has not been officially notified of this budget change ... “This is an unfunded county mandate and the result is that Archdale-Trinity tax dollars at these schools will have to be spent to just keep up with the rest of the county’s elementary schools.” The supplemental school tax, approved by Archdale-Trinity voters in 1969, was designed to supplement area schools. “Archdale-Trinity property owners pay the school tax in order to provide additional needs and resources to students,” Godwin said.

Becky Coltrane, School Board member and former Tax Council chairman, agrees. “Supplementary taxes are collected to help these schools in addition to what the county provides.” Coltrane and Godwin question if the implementation of lead teachers is a good idea. “They [the administration] wanted to add the curriculum specialists,” said Coltrane. “They felt that the teachers needed that support.” She questions if the Board was given the full budget picture when they made the decision. “We didn’t understand that concept the way that it was presented before,” she said. “We were not cutting the reading teachers, we were just changing the source of funding.” Godwin also questions the wisdom of creating a new program in the midst of an unpredictable economy.
“Support positions such as lead teachers are easier to justify when times are good, but with the current economic climate, I cannot fathom a school system creating such a position systemwide.” The supplemental school tax budget is primarily distributed on a per-pupil basis. Each school submits to the tax council how the money will be spent. Godwin said that the supplemental school tax can fund salaries, however, the positions should have been included in each school’s budget submitted in April. According Crystal Clodfelter, director of kindergarten through fifth grade instruction for Randolph County Schools, lead teachers have been hired for Trindale, John Lawrence and Hopewell elementary schools.
as he had feared. State officials mandated that county schools return $3,857,833 of the $94 million they receive in state funding. “This is the amount of money we have to give back to the state in whatever category we choose,” said Lowe. During the 2009-2010 school year the county had to return $2,864,657. Lowe said another source of funding — low wealth funds — are designed to help mitigate some of the disparities which occur in school districts with low property wealth.
“Low wealth funding this year is $6.4 million and can be used for almost anything directly related to the classroom, like teacher and teacher assistant salaries, classroom supplies and equipment, staff development, etc.,” he said. As for lottery funds, Randolph County Schools uses the money to pay for brick-andmortar construction. “We have had so much school construction in the past few years that when we get lottery money, you can just feel it blow past on the way to the county commissioners to pay for construction debt,” Cook said.
Continued from front
Board member Paul Guthrie of Trinity wondered if there was anything the board could do to be proactive and plan ahead in case of more budget cuts for the following year. “Can we do anything to soften the blow?” he asked. “You can’t carry over those state dollars from one year to another,” said Lowe. “Next year will be a whole new ballgame.” The ballgame for the previous and current budget has been tough. Lowe informed the board that the state allotment shortfall, although bad, wasn’t as devastating

T
aking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes.

Anglers sizzle, bass swim at Randleman T

ing the lake early. The heat may have taken a toll on fishermen, but fish care was excellent. Weights were understandably low but, with the accommodation of Randleman’s helpful staff, everyone weighed and released their catch alive. Lucas Hutchins weighed the only fivefish limit for a total of 9.86 pounds. Second was Freddie House with three fish weighing 5.63 pounds. Bill Frazier finished third with two fish for 5.38 pounds. No hints came out of young Mr. Hutchins, but we saw him hanging around main lake points and bends off and on through the day. Second and third places fished within sight of one another early, but it appeared the lures and features fished were very different. Our fish were taken on
But nothing about this day would cool down, as the Archdale Bass Club fished their second scheduled tournament July 24. Due to the string of dangerously hot days, the club voted to shorten their venture an hour and a half. Even so, more than one club member was feeling it by the end of competition time, with two members leav-

open water features with micro jigs. Honorable mention goes to visiting youth angler Alex Randall, 14. Alex is one of a few young men that wanted to try their hand at full-blown tournament angling this year. Sunscreen-soaked Alex toughed it out with the big boys in the club, sacking two fish with a total of 5.19 pounds. His first fish ever on a jig included his biggest bass yet, at 3.32 pounds. Although he cannot compete in the adult ranks until he’s 16, his weight placed him in overall fourth place in the tournament standings. Considering the conditions, that should at least earn him some bragging rights — and a very big grin. With four club tournaments left in the year, the standings shake out like this: the

top total weight category is lead by Jamie Denison with 47.87 pounds, with our most experienced angler, Clayton Proctor, nipping at his fins with 47.18 pounds. Third place is steady Ed Brady at 46.73 pounds, with Bill Frazier, Brian Sorrell and Famous James Lewis in the fourth through sixth slots. Total points are headed up by Steve Gunter, followed by his dad, Sam. Yours truly is in third place with Clayton and James in fourth and fifth. Ed Brady holds down the sixth position. All are within easy striking distance of moving up with some very respectable fishing opportunities this fall, on the far side of this unfavorable heat wave. It’s particularly worth pointing out that four of the top six positions in both categories are held by guys fishing out of the same boat. Steve and Sam are fishing partners, as are James and Clayton. Being able to consistently find fish and share them with the other guy in your boat speaks volumes about the courtesy and commitment to our club motto of “friends, fellowship and fishing.� The next club tournament will be Aug. 7, at High Rock Lake out of the Southmont ramp. Starting time is at 6 a.m., but the club did not want to set the weigh-in time with no end in sight to this heat wave. Albeit a bit balmy, we’ll see you on the water. anglersites.com/archdale

Matt was 4 years old when he wore his first uniform. Over the years, his uniforms have been different colors, but his love for the game has remained the same.

atthew Dillon heads from the locker room to Finch Field for a late-afternoon batting practice. Even in the 99-degree heat, he still talks about how much he enjoys baseball. BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER “I’ve always loved the game,” Matt says. “It is so much fun.” A freshman at Guilford Technical Community College, Matt is taking a break from his studies to play for the HiToms. The right-hander, who also plays second base and shortstop for the HiToms, has pitched 23 innings during his nine appearances on the mound. Home base for the HiToms is Finch Field, a 1,700-seat stadium originally built in 1935 by Thomasville Furniture Industries. Just like in 1935, the league allows only wooden bats, but the Tommies know how to use ’em. During the afternoon practice, baseballs still escape over the fence and bounce across Ballpark Road. The team is part of a 15-team Coastal Plain League which allows collegiate athletes to build their skills over the summer. Matt, 20, who lives in Trinity, joined players from colleges in Missouri, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and California. This is the first year that Matt has played for the HiToms, whose grueling
Matt Dillon at bat
July schedule included 28 games in 31 days with practices in between games. When he isn’t playing or training, Matt squeezes in several trips per week to Greensboro Batting Center to work on bullpen and arm strength training. All that means this — during baseball season, he eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. “Baseball, every day,” said Matt. “That’s it.” Matt and baseball go way back. He doesn’t remember the first time he held a ball and bat, but his parents tell him that his first word was “ball.” Matt credits his dad, Joe Dillon, who introduced him to the game when he was barely old enough to walk. He was 4 years old when he wore his first uniform — for a High Point-Deep River T-ball team. Over the years, Matt’s uniforms have been different colors, but his love for the game has remained the same. Matt has held a position on team rosters of the High PointDeep River league and Archdale Parks and Recreation’s youth baseball team. He played for a team organized by Greensboro Batting Center for five years. In high school, he played for the American Legion Post 87 team based at Finch Field for two years. His mother, Kim Cook Dillon, said that as a youngster Matt needed no urging to go to baseball practices or games. “That was something that he always wanted to do and loved,” she said. The 2008 Trinity High School graduate played football in addition to baseball. During his junior year, he suffered a football injury. “I tore my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament),” said Matt. “I had knee surgery and it was a big setback, baseball-wise.” Matt had a successful first year as recruit pitcher for the GTCC Titans. GTCC Head Baseball Coach John Barrow said, “Matt was our team MVP this season as he led our squad in batting average Photos by John Kidd (.421), home runs (7) and stolen bases (15). He was

also a 2nd Team All-Region selection as an outfielder (he also played shortstop towards the end of the season). He set a school record this year for batting average in a season. Pitching-wise, he was second on the team in wins (4), strikeouts (56) and innings pitched (54.1). “This was his first season here at GTCC. I think that the sky is the limit for Matt. He has a ton of natural ability and has really matured over the last couple of years into a great overall player. Naturally, we are counting on him tremendously this year not only as a hitter and position player, but also as a pitcher. “I am very excited to see what he can do this coming season,” Coach Barrow said. “I hope to see other kids grow as much as I’ve seen Matt grow over the past three years,” said Rob Shore, Matt’s high school baseball coach, who now coaches the American Legion team based at Finch Field. “He’s different in that he’s older and more mature. I think what has changed is that now he can see the fruit of his hard work on the athletic field. It’s giving him motivation to be successful in other areas of his life.” Joe would agree about the hard work part. He kept count as Matt played 189 games over 31 weeks as a young teenager in a 14-and-under AAU league. But Joe also believes that Matt has worked even harder this summer as a HiTom player. “This year he has given it his all,” said Joe, who has attended every HiToms home game during the 2010 season. Other family members enjoy the games, too — his mom Kim, brother Bryan Cook, sister Madison Dillon, stepmother Deiska Dillon and his grandparents Bobby and Carolyn Cook. With an eye on the future, Matt would like to continue his connection to baseball. “I would like to go play at the next level — professional,” he said. “Coaching is also a possibility.” Coach Barrow agrees about possibilities for Matt’s future. “He is getting a lot of attention now from many colleges and universities, and does have pro potential as well,” he said. www.hitoms.com

In the past five years, at least 10 children in North Carolina have died from hyperthermia after being trapped in hot vehicles. “These deaths are preventable,” said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, state chairman of Safe Kids North Carolina. “A child should never be unattended in a car, for any length of time or at any time of year. We need to work to reverse this tragic trend.” Hyperthermia can occur even on days with mild 70 degree temperatures. The temperature in a closed vehicle can rise about 20 degrees in 10 minutes and nearly 30 degrees in 20 minutes. Cracking a window has little effect. Safe Kids North Carolina offers these safety tips for all parents and caregivers: • Never leave a child alone in a vehicle. • Lock the doors when your vehicle is parked. Cars are not places to play. • Place your purse, briefcase or other important items in the backseat next to your child’s car seat so you have to look in the back before leaving the car. • If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, call 911 immediately. • Check vehicles and trunks first if a child goes missing.

o’So Tavern, Oh So Good!
Helping Mom cook in the kitchen as a young boy, Sammy Gianopoulos always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. Not a fireman putting out blazing fires, not a policeman chasing bad guys, not a football or baseball hero or even a doctor earning a comfortable living. He wanted to be a restaurant owner so that he could make people smile with a full belly of good food. As he became a young man, he added being a chef to his list of achievements. Gianopoulos, former owner of Aquaria Seafood Grill, is now one of five owners of the o’So’s Restaurant group with the newest location of o’So Tavern at the former home of Aquaria Seafood Grill on 3800 Tinsley Drive in High Point. He is joined with Johnny Pappas and the family of Spiro Strates, Pete Strates and Jimmy Strates. Closing Aquaria and joining with the o’So Restaurant group has given Gianopoulos the capability to have an eclectic menu and no longer be perceived only as a seafood grille. o’So Tavern’s menu is varied and can appeal to all appetites and budgets. Starting at $6.29 with o’So Nachos, their Greek version with spinach, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, olives with creamy havarti cheese and feta cheese served over chips to just less than $20 for Filet Mignon or grilled Sea Bass entree served with one of o’So’s assorted sides. o’So Tavern still has many of Aquaria’s old favorites like the Royal Thai Shrimp appetizer or the famous Prime Rib of Beef entreĂŠ. But a lot of new favorites have been added for lunch and dinner. Lunch always brings a daily special created by the chefs as well as menu staples of Specialty Burgers and Chicken Sandwiches to the Toasty Portabella Sandwich, Prime Reuben, Club Wrap, Tuna Roll and many more. Smaller hot entree portions are served for lunch which reflect a sample of the dinner menu with such specialties as Kahlua Pecan Chicken with a pecan brown sugar crust topped with a pineapple cilantro sauce to “What Happened,â€? a grilled chopped steak topped with homemade marinara, melted cheese blend served over cheese ravioli and parmesan alfredo sauce. Salad lovers and those with small appetites, do not fret. Soups, salads and “Little Eatsâ€? are available at lunch and dinner with such specialties as o’So Chicken Skewers, Gyro bites, Brie or Not to Brie Salad, B.L.T. Wedge Salad, Fried Oyster Salald, Scallop Quesadilla, Fried Mater and many more.The possibilities are endless no matter what time of day you join them to squelch your appetite.
you can eat in a reasonable amount of time and leave full and happy. For larger parties, Sammy G’s at historic Market Square in downtown High Point is available. It can easily serve 200 people for a cocktail party or 100 people for a sit-down dinner. Room is available for a band inside Sammy G’s or outside in the courtyard for your entertainment. o’So Restaurant group also hosts many offsite caterings for parties, weddings, “anywhere in the state from 300 to 1000,� says Gianopoulos, “you name your number, place and we will be there!� And, with five Greek owners, if you choose to have a traditional Greek catered wedding, they can definitely do this too. o’So’s slogan says it all. “We Do It Simple. We Do It Funky. We Do It All. We Do It Well.� Being of Greek heritage, the owners love to host, entertain and make people happy with their food and finesse. On their success, Gianopoulos says, “I love what I do. I meet 200 people everyday and make them happy by feeding them and putting a smile on their face. In turn, this makes me happy to please all those people.� Now that is success! Open for lunch and dinner, o’So Tavern is located on 3800 Tinsley Avenue in High Point. You may call at 884.3474. Or visit o’So Eats in Winston-Salem on 299 Jonestown Road. Their number is 293.6371. Please visit the website at www.osorestaurantgroup.com.
