Trinity to welcome new business

J

immy Allred wants to open an auto repair business in Trinity. More importantly, he wants to open a business that will be good for the city and the community.

BY ROBYN HANKINS “It’s a good location on a well traveled road,” Allred said of the 2.3 acres near the intersection of Trinity and

Fairview Church roads where he plans to build. “Trinity only has a few garages and Archdale has several, so it will be good for the city, and I saw a need to invest in a business I can make grow.”

Trinity City Council unanimously approved Allred’s request to rezone the land at a July 13 special meeting, held because City Council, in June, voted to cancel their regular July meeting.

The property was rezoned from highway commercial to heavy manufacturing because the city’s zoning ordi-

nance does not allow auto repair shops within the highway commercial zoning district.

No one spoke against the rezoning during the public hearing.

The densely wooded property is currently owned by Lohr and Associates Inc. It is located next to Components Fabricators, a defunct furniture company.

Allred said he grew up in the area, and when he moved back he looked around to find a good location for a business.

Bush Hill to celebrate 25 years with special events

W

ith the Bush Hill Heritage Festival celebrating its silver anniversary, mark your calenders now to attend all of its special events — from a Friday night concert to Saturday’s main event.

BY ROBYN HANKINS The Festival, founded by the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, will be held Friday and Saturday, Sept. 10-11, on N.C. 62 and several of its side streets.

The Archdale-Trinity News is the premier sponsor.

“I’m so pleased that the community has supported this event for 25 successful years,” said Beverly Nelson, president of the Chamber and a past chairman of the festival. “I think it’s because we’ve been careful to preserve the feeling of community and put strategies in place to protect and ensure the local presence of vendors and entertainers.

“We believe in the spirit of this community and that the Bush Hill Heritage Festival embodies this.”

That spirit will be alive at the Friday night event, which includes a new component — a free concert sponsored by the Archdale-Trinity Merchants Alliance.

Nash Vegas, which fuses country, rock, soul and blues, will play at 7 p.m. at the corner of Bonnie Place and W. White Drive.

Friday night fun isn’t just for adults.

Children will enjoy the Big Wheel Race, sponsored by Allred and Co. Realtors, and a bike rodeo by Safe Kids Randolph County. Children should bring bicycles and safety helmets to the rodeo.

“With all the donations the kids will each probably get a helmet, but they should definitely bring their own to the rodeo,” said Zeb Holden, code enforcement officer for Archdale and the Festival committee member helping coordinate the rodeo.

The Archdale Bass Club will sponsor Casting Kids, a fishing game that teaches young and aspiring anglers one of the most important things — how to cast that line.

The Friday night line-up inGraphic by www.martydesigns.com cludes pizza by Domino’s Pizza in Hillsville as well as other food vendors.

On Saturday, in addition to all the vendors, festival-goers can enjoy music at three stages — the main stage on W. White Drive, the gospel stage at North State Communications and the children’s stage at Archdale Elementary School. The Part Time Party Time Band will again headline the main stage.

Not all the fun is on stage. Festival-goers may enter or just enjoy a quilt show, car show and 5K run.

The third annual Bush Hill Quilt Show, which showcases the area’s heritage, will be held in the historic Hammond-Ragan House, home to Ed Price & Associates, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

To the editor, The fifth annual Matt Hunt Bike Ride, held on June 26, was a great success and we have many thank-yous to say.

We thank Rich Brenner, who led the ride, and the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, who escorted the ride to ensure everyone’s safety. The Archdale Police Department escorted us through the city as we departed from Archdale United Methodist Church. The day was hot and we are grateful to family and friends who came to help us.

We thank the businesses which donated auction items and the sponsors who purchased ads on the T-shirts, made by The Red T-shirt Co. He did a beautiful job.

Be careful, things you say come back to haunt you J

ust recently, I and my coworkers at the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce — Ellen Johnson and Beverly Nelson — were talking about things we have said or done in the past that have come back to haunt us.

Especially the things our mothers did or said that seemed so funny to us at the time.

One very familiar saying to me, and to the others, was this: “Do not sneeze or it’s all over with.” We all three remember our mothers saying this. Ladies in their 50s, 60s and older know exactly what I am referring to. Of course, I have heard some younger women talk about the same problem.

This is a very embarrassing situation when you’re in a public place like church or a restaurant with what seems like millions of people. How do you get to the restroom quickly without making a scene? Crossing your legs while walking will surely draw attention.

Then comes the problem. What if all the bathroom stalls are full? And then someone turns on the faucet. I’m thinking, “can’t you see I am in trouble here?” As the saying goes, I have been there, done that.

Forgive me, Mom, for ever laughing at

UNITED WAY

you.

A dear friend from church is a prime example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I will not mention her real name. Let’s just call her Jane, to protect the innocent.

My husband Butch, myself and Jane and her husband “Joe” were going to Hillsville, Va., sometime back in the late part of winter to look at some property to purchase.

The several inches of snow in Fancy Gap was not a challenge for Joe’s large fourdoor truck.

We detoured to a friend’s house, off Highway 58 east of Hillsville, that is situated on a long dirt road in the middle of nowhere. He wasn’t home.

This would become the first in a series of bad events.

After watching the deer eat in his backyard, we decided it was getting late (it gets dark early in those hills) and struck out on a journey to look at the property. Butch was driving and he decided to back out of the driveway instead of turning around. He backed into a snow drift made by the snow plow. We were stuck.

Remember, this property is in the middle of nowhere, and I am talking nowhere.

Sure is quiet in them thar hills.

Butch and Joe pushed and pulled the truck. They used tree limbs to no avail.

The tires just kept spinning on the ice and packed snow. They went on a scavenger hunt for a shovel at one or two vacation homes in walking distance. They even went into barns on some of the properties hunting for something to dig us out. Nothing.

We sat, waited and crossed our legs, questioning why we had stopped in Pilot Mountain to buy such large sodas.

Both men walked to the next road to wait for a car. One or two vehicles finally passed by but no one stopped. I would even yell from the truck. An hour and half later, a car stopped and took Butch to a home way up the road to get help. A friendly man brought him back, shoveled us out and we were on our way.

The property we wanted to look over was just a mile or so down another dirt road. This property was not what we expected. A piece of curtain held the back door of the trailer, which was situated on land going uphill. Dirty. Ragged. Certainly not what we expected.

We started back toward Hillsville with the intention of going to Shoney’s on Interstate 77 to eat and relax. When we finally arrived, Jane and I had one thing in mind

Phyllis East

Walking in Faith — the bathroom. As soon as Jane’s foot hit the running board, it was all over. Too late for Jane and I almost didn’t make it. All we could do was laugh.

We left the restaurant in a hurry, went to Dollar General in Hillsville to buy some clothes for Jane and headed back to Shoney’s. Finally, we sat down to a hot meal.

As we laughed even more about the day, our mothers’ warning spilled, flowed out, oh let’s just say came to mind: “You young girls must remember to never laugh at us older girls who have some, er, problems. It will come back to haunt you one day.”

Please Lord, don’t let my laughing at and with my friend come back to haunt me.

The United Way of Greater High Point funds programs which benefit 29 partner agencies, impacting the lives of more than 70,000 residents in High Point, Archdale, Trinity and Jamestown.

Other partner agencies in the Archdale-Trinity area include Communities In Schools of Randolph County, the Randolph County Family Crisis Center, Randolph County Senior Adults Association Inc. and the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA.

United Way leads toy drive The United Way of Greater High Point is now working with its community partners to hold the sixth annual “Gifts for Homeless Kids” toy drive.

New toys, games and books will be purchased for children in foster care through Youth Unlimited and children in transitional housing at Carpenter House and The Salvation Army.

The gifts will be distributed Aug. 12.

“The looks on their faces when they realize their gift is truly theirs to keep, well, that’s exactly why we do this,” reads a promotional flyer.

The Aug. 12 event includes face painting, food and games. Volunteers are needed to wrap gifts Aug. 9-11.

Trinity as they stuffed backpacks for children at Allen Jay Elementary. United Way provides the nonperishable food through an agreement with Second Harvest Food Bank. COAT volunteers and staff pick up the food, pack the backpacks and deliver them each week.

Allen Jay Elementary School Guidance Counselor Samantha Lee praised the program for providing food for children at risk of hunger.

Additional partners reach out into the Archdale-Trinity community.

David Pollock, branch director of the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity, said that United Way funds help those who can’t afford a YMCA membership or program.

“Occasionally there are folks in the area who are out of work or undergoing financial hardship for other reasons,” Pollock said. “United Way dollars help out when a child wants to join a sports team or someone needs a membership but the family can’t afford it.

“What this means is that nobody is turned away at any time,” he added.

For Communities In Schools of Randolph County, it means programs, especially mentoring, for kids in Archdale-Trinity area schools.

“We are very grateful for the support from United Way,” said Sandi Norman, executive director.

“Without it we couldn’t provide as many programs and services in the Archdale-Trinity area.

“The biggest part of the money goes to support our staff as they recruit and train mentors, work with teachers, do the background checks, monitor the mentoring relationship and track the progress of the students.

“United Way dollars fund an after-school music club. They also fund our dropout prevention programs like Job Shadowing, Reality Store and the GIRLS Club.”

Kathy Stuart accepted one of four Eugene H. Bohi Community Partners Media Awards for efforts by the ArchdaleTrinity News staff to promote the mission of United Way of Greater High Point. This was the first year that the award carried Bohi’s name. Bohi, pictured with Stuart, served as United Way’s marketing and communications chair and longtime general manager of WGHP. Also receiving the award were FOX8 WGHP, The High Point Enterprise and the Photo by Debbie Hightower Jamestown News.

At Randolph County Family Crisis Center in Archdale, the funds allow the center to help victims of family violence and sexual assault.

“Without United Way funds we would have to close our doors,” said Laura Stockwell, program director. “If we didn’t have an office in Archdale, people would have to drive 20 miles to Randolph County Family Crisis Center in Asheboro — that’s 40 miles round-trip.

Many of our clients don’t have access to transportation.”

The Archdale office has seen an influx of clients. Randolph

County ranks as the third highest county in the state for domestic violence.

“We are trying rapidly to reduce those rates,” said Stockwell. “It is a growing and evident need.”

Since it was founded as the Community Chest in 1935, the United Way has raised $189 million, said 2010 United Way Capital Campaign Chair Randy Brodd.

He was thankful that in 2009, in a difficult financial climate, United Way of Greater High Point was still able to raise $4,336,572.

The 2010-2011 campaign will begin in the fall.

“The land was available and both I and my wife graduated from Trinity High School, so it just made sense,” he said. “My son and I are going to start the business, and one day he’ll take it over.”

The repair shop will service cars, trucks and trailers.

“I want to construct a metal fabricated building with three bays,” he explained. “A bay for classic vehicles, one for bigger vehicles and a third for trucks and trailers.”

Allred said he’s only waiting for approval from the bank.

“It’s scary, really scary to do this right now,” he told the NEWS. “But my wife and I thought about it, and the interest rates are real low right now.

We think we can make it.”

Adam Stumb, planning and zoning administrator, said that a new business can only mean good things for the city.

“If he gets it off the ground it will be a new business and that means more sales tax (for the city) and a few new jobs,” Stumb said.

According to Stormwater Administrator Rich Baker, the property is in the Randleman Lake Watershed, so Allred will have to put in a retaining pond to comply with state regulations.

Allred will leave a 30-foot tree buffer on the property, instead of the 20-foot buffer required by the city’s ordinance.

“He’s serious about this and been willing to comply with everything we’ve asked him,” said Baker.

Allred said his experience with Trinity was positive.

“My experience with Trinity City Council and the Planning and Zoning Board was great, the process was smooth, there were no hiccups,” he added.

Book documents black history ‘W

e are intertwined,’ said Glenn Chavis, referring to the histories of High Point in Guilford County and Trinity in Randolph County.

STAFF REPORTS

His new book, “Our Roots, Our Branches, Our Fruit – High Point’s Black History 1859–1960,� reflects the historical research that led to his conclusion. “My mission is to find, document and make known the history and contributions of High Point’s African American community that has long been overlooked,� Chavis said. “In order for my people to be recognized for their role in High Point’s history, we must record and make known our existence by creating records that chronicle facts and debunk likes, exaggerations and myths.�

Chavis earned a Bachelor of Arts in

English from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte.

He worked as a sales representative with Abbott Laboratories Inc. from 1969 to 2000.

Chavis’ passion for genealogy began after retirement.

He found very few writings and documents of the African Glenn Chavis American experiences in High Point.

He set out to change that. This book is the first in a series of five that Chavis plans to write and publish on the subject. This book traces African American history in High Point from the city’s founding in 1859 to 1960.

The working title for his next book is “Three Negro Schools,� which includes William Penn, Florence and Fairview schools. Most of the black population in Trinity attended William Penn. “There was no choice but to come here (High Point),� Chavis said.

The current book, “Our Roots, Our Branches, Our Fruit,� is available at the High Point Museum for $24.95 plus tax or online at www.highpointmuseum.org/ store.htm.

Shipping, handling and tax will be added. The book was sponsored and supported by the High Point Historical Society, the Hayden-Harman Foundation, Robert Brown and Ken and Jane McAllister. “The Historical Society is committed to telling the story of all High Pointers and we are very excited to make Glenn’s research available to the public in this way,� said Edith Brady, museum director.

For more information, call 885-1859 or visit www.highpointmuseum.org.

Museum exhibit explores Jewish life The N.C. Museum of History will exhibit “Down Home: Jewish Life in North Carolina.� Admission is free.

It documents and presents more than 400 years of Jewish life in the state.

Produced and organized by the Jewish Heritage Foundation of North Carolina, “Down Home� chronicles how Jews, through a process of struggle and negotiation, became integrated into Southern society and helped build a New South while pre-

serving their ethnic and religious traditions.

The project also features a critically acclaimed documentary film, a companion book published by University of North Carolina Press and curriculum guides.

Call 1-919-807-7900 for more information or visit www.ncmuseumofhistory.org.

The museum is at 5 E. Edenton St., across from the State Capitol. Parking is available in the lot across Wilmington Street.

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.

Bush Hill Writers’ Block includes Scott Forrester

S

cott Forrester of Trinity has written “He Still Holds Tomorrow,” a compilation of inspirational Christian poetry.

Forrester graduated from Trinity Senior High in 1973 and joined the Marine Corps Reserves in 1976. He works for North State Communications and his wife, Elizabeth “Libby” Forrester, is a retired teacher from Archdale-Trinity Middle School.

They and their two sons, Dan and Sam, attend Life Tabernacle Pentecostal Church in Archdale.

About three years ago, Forrester woke up at 2 a.m. with inspiration for his first poem. Ideas kept coming, sometimes at inopportune times, until he compiled 65 works into his debut book. “He Still Holds Tomorrow” was of-

ficially released June 15 and is available at amazon.com.

The works range from poems about life choices and contemporary issues, like the struggles of modern youth and the homeless, to songs of praise.

Scott Forrester will be one of the local Forrester authors featured at “Writers Block” at the Bush Hill Heritage Festival on Sept. 11.

Forrester has written more poems that may lead to a second book.

Writers Block is sponsored by Costa & Grissom.

Meet Your Neighbor ...

Cassie Carter

From Archdale to South Africa ... she’s on a mission

A

s soon as Cassie Carter arrived in Norway for discipleship training school, she discovered that she had inadvertently brought two left hiking boots. She made a decision to keep going, no matter what.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

‘I want to reach out to those who are less fortunate.

Through doing the [YWAM] program, I realized that I want to do missions work and work with children.’

The day after her arrival, Cassie went on a three-mile hike wearing those two left boots.

Perseverance is something that her dad, Kevin Carter of Archdale, has seen in her many times.

“There was no question that this was what she was going to do,” said Kevin. “She was determined. She made her own decision to go to discipleship training school and learn in-depth and hands-on what missionary work would require from her.”

That decision would require her to spend the next seven months studying in Skien, Norway, and then two months working with AIDS orphans in South Africa.

On Sept. 15, 2009, Kevin watched his daughter, who had graduated from Trinity High School a few months before, walk down the corridor of Piedmont Triad International Airport with a backpack. She flew to New York, to Copenhagen, Denmark, and to Oslo, Norway.

In Oslo, one facility serves as an airport and train station. Cassie was unsure how to get her heavy bags downstairs from the airport to the train station, and she was uncertain which train to board.

“A man asked if he could help,” said Cassie.

She felt a little uneasy accepting help from someone she didn’t know, but she had no other options.

“He helped me with my bags,” Cassie said.

“He helped me get on the right train.”

After the train, she took a bus and for a part of the journey, she walked.

During the four days of travel her dad and stepmother Becky, her mother Misty Carter and her five siblings waited for word that she had arrived safely. The word came in an international format — Facebook. Cassie’s 800 friends followed her on the journey.

Her safe arrival was not a surprise. Cassie’s family knows her determination.

Her drive to go to missionary school was born when she was in the youth group at Grace Church in High Point. “There were other people in my youth group at Grace Church who had done it before,” said Cassie. “They inspired me.”

Cassie took the leap through YWAM — Youth With A Mission, an international, interdenominational nonprofit Christian missionary organization. For the seven months of training, she lived in a former prison building.

“I was so busy,” she recalled. “We had classes every day. At night, we opened up a cafe in the basement, where the local youth would come, hang out and enjoy coffee and desserts.”

There was another “sweet” to this basement — Cassie, who has sung at church since age 8, led a group of singers at the cafe. After all, she also had acted and sung in THS productions.

Cassie was thrilled when a hometown, bigtime musician and artist came to speak at her

school.

Ken Helser, of A Place For The Heart ministry in Sophia, makes an annual journey to visit with the YWAM schools. Ken and his wife Linda spoke to students at the Skien school in January.

Even with a heart-warming visit from a friend, Cassie said the weather was extraordinarily cold.

January offers only a few hours of daylight and the average temperature high is 23 degrees.

“They would tell me, make sure you wear your wool,” Cassie said. “Wool socks, wool leggings and underwear — the Norwegians really know how to dress warm.” www.mamacasss.blogspot.com.

Following her discipleship training, Cassie “We are learning more and more every day by experienced two months of outreach. being here and we are so thankful for the pletho“You take all of the things that you have ra of opportunities we have had to minister into learned and share them with others,” Cassie many people’s lives!

Cassie described the praise and worship services as awesome.

“It was His call and not my own,” she said. “I didn’t go there intending to convert them.

Archdale adds water customers T

he city of Archdale has made an agreement with Davidson Water Inc. to purchase water lines and take over customers along U.S. 311, south of the city.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS Archdale will acquire more than a mile of water line, down to Edgar Road and on some side roads, as well as 66 customers formerly served by Davidson Water. The city

will pay Davidson $150,000 for the infrastructure, valued at $180,000, and $1,070 per month for 20 years for the customers.

City Council approved the agreement at a continued meeting June 29.

City Manager Jerry Yarborough explained to the NEWS that the purchase will make Archdale sole owner of the lines that deliver water from the Randleman water treatment plant when it starts operation. Archdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivery point is near Holly Ridge Golf Links. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be nothing between the Randleman plant

Archdale approves Pedestrian Network update A

rchdale City Council approved an updated version of the Pedestrian Network Plan that adds 8 miles of sidewalk and a half mile of greenway to future plans. To date, 6 miles of sidewalk and 2½ miles of greenway have been completed.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS At the July 27 meeting, Councilman Lewis Dorsett recalled that years ago, when the Council had decided to add walkways, they received calls about pieces of sidewalks that went nowhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had to start somewhere,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way.â&#x20AC;?

Dorsett added that the completed walkways get used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the better things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done.â&#x20AC;?

In other business, Council approved a High Density Development Permit for New Life Baptist Church to build

at the corner of Archdale and Playground roads.

Planning Director Jeff Wells said that the zoning for the parcel already includes a church as a permitted use.

The new English Farm Road, at the YMCA on N.C. 62, was approved as public right of way. If there are no problems for the next year, the street will be included as part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance system.

Council adopted a Code of Ethics for Archdale City Council, as mandated by the N.C. General Assembly in 2009. The Code does not change policies for city employees, who already have a personnel handbook that includes ethics. Council members stayed after their regular meeting for a two-hour ethics training session.

Council approved a budget correction to change seweronly rates to $40 within city limits and $80 outside as discussed during budget meetings. The printed budget incorrectly listed $85 as the outside rate.

RCC offers tuition payment options R

andolph Community College students will have to pay a little more in tuition this fall, but the college has several options for students with financial need â&#x20AC;&#x201D; grants, scholarships and payment plans.

STAFF REPORTS

RCC financial aid and Veterans Affairs have geared up to serve a record number of students this fall, according to Chad Williams, financial aid director.

The North Carolina General Assembly approved a community college curriculum rate increase of $6.50 per semester hour for in-state residents and $7.20 per semester hour for out-of-state residents.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increase of $104 per semester for full-time in-state community college students. But community colleges remain a cost-effective alternative.

According to recent news reports, students at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T will pay nearly $500 more in tuition for the 2010-11 school year, and students at UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State will pay $750 more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize just what a bargain community colleges are,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, relating a

story of a student who was recently awarded a financial aid package that paid for her tuition, fees, and books at RCC and included a disbursement check for other financial needs. Williams said the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sibling had qualified for the same amount of financial aid at a university, but had to take out a loan to meet the additional costs. The studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents were amazed at the difference, said Williams.

RCC has received more than 66 percent of the total number of FAFSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to date for the 2010-11 academic year compared to last year, 97 percent of the applications received two years ago and 124 percent of the applications received three years ago, according to Williams.

Pell Grant recipients are increasing, said Williams. RCC had a 54 percent increase in Pell Grant recipients in 2009-10 from 2008-09 and an 84 percent increase over 2007-08.

A federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Students who are North Carolina residents may be eligible for additional grant programs in which, like the Pell Grant, eligibility is determined when a student completes the FAFSA. The maximum Pell Grant award for the 2010-11 award year (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011) is $5,550. The amount a stu-

dent may receive, though, will depend not only on their financial need, but also on factors such as their status as a full-time or part-time student, and their plans to attend school for a full academic year or less. Pell and state grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or a professional degree.

One change in Pell Grants that was implemented this past year is a year-round Pell Policy, according to Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Policy will provide students with the opportunity to receive twice the amount of Pell Grant funding for which they would have been eligible previously,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In previous years, for example, if a student attended full time during the fall semester and then full time during the spring semester, there would be no financial aid remaining to cover the costs to attend summer. Now, as long as students meet the additional requirements, they will be able to receive funding to help pay for the summer semester.â&#x20AC;? Williams said the real benefit for students is that they will be able to accelerate through to graduation from their program at a faster rate.

Students who have applied to start classes at RCC this fall and need financial aid should have already filled out their FAFSA,

and us,â&#x20AC;? Yarborough said.

The acquisition also will make it easier for Archdale to expand service as the U.S. 311 bypass (Interstate 73/74) brings development to the south and east.

Councilman Lewis Dorsett, board member of the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority, told City Council last week that the water treatment plant is going through its testing phase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparently on go,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The state has to certify the treatment plant before the Randleman Regional Reservoir can start providing water to the region.

or should do so immediately, said Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The financial aid process takes weeks,â&#x20AC;? he noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and a student has to be fully admitted to the College in order for us to award financial aid.â&#x20AC;? To be fully admitted, a student must have completed an admissions application, taken placement testing or submitted eligible SAT/ACT scores and the College must have received the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official transcripts from high school, GED institution, and/or other colleges attended.

However, RCC will continue to process files up until the date of registration â&#x20AC;&#x153;in hopes of getting everyone who wants to enroll at RCC the assistance they are eligible for,â&#x20AC;? said Williams.

Students who do not receive their financial aid award in time for registration have the option of paying their tuition through the FACTS Tuition Management plan and would be reimbursed if and when their financial aid is approved. The tuition management plan allows students to arrange for monthly payments to cover tuition, fees, and books for a nonrefundable enrollment fee of $25 per semester.

igh Point Regional Health System recently qualified for the American Heart Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mission: Lifeline Bronze Performance Achievement Award.

STAFF REPORT

The award recognizes High Point Regionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment and success in the implementation of a higher standard of care for heart attack patients that effectively improves the survival and care of elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Point Regional is dedicated to making our cardiac unit among the best in the country and the American Heart Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mission: Lifeline program is helping us accomplish that by making it easier for our professionals to improve the outcomes of our cardiac patients,â&#x20AC;? said Meg Cashion, Emergency Department manager at High Point Regional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having more than 95 percent of our STEMI patients treated within specific time frames is an example of our dedication and achievements in cardiac care.â&#x20AC;?

Hospitals that receive the award have

demonstrated for 90 consecutive days that at least 85 percent of eligible patients without contraindications are treated within specific time frames upon entering the hospital and discharged following the American Heart Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended treatment guidelines.

Every year, almost 400,000 people experience this type of heart attack. Unfortunately, a significant number donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in the restoration of blood flow.

Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate STEMI patients from timely access to appropriate treatments.

Hospitals involved in Mission: Lifeline strive to improve care in acute treatment measures and discharge measures. Systems of care are developed that close the gap of timely access to appropriate, life-saving treatments.

Before they are discharged, appropriate patients are started on aggressive risk reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, aspirin, ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers and receive smoking cessation counseling.

Free screening for kidney disease A free screening for chronic kidney disease will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 26, in the gymnasium at High Point City Lake Park, 602 W. Main St. in Jamestown.

The screening is offered by the National Kidney Foundation and a local organization, Dialysis Action Committee, said the Rev. Harvey Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-six million people in America have this disease and most of them are not aware that they have the disease,â&#x20AC;? said Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two leading causes for chronic

Her venture started when she was attending College at DCCC and blossomed into a full blown business opportunity, one that she finds very fulfilling and rewarding.

Helen says, “When customers come into my store, I want them to feel a warm and friendly atmosphere, but most of all, I want them to feel welcomed.” She goes on to say, “Our products are very comparable to those such as Clinique, Merle Norman, Mary Kay, and others that you would find at K-Mart or Wal-Mart, but ours are at a much more affordable price.”

Helen’s Avon Beauty Center offers a registry for birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. She also offers customized gift bags for those last minute gifts someone might need.

In celebration of her 2-Year Anniversary on July 31, Helen is hosting an anniversary sale. Everything in the store is 20% off!

Barbara, owner of Messiah Too!!

Catering came by the business naturally. Taught to cook at the tender age of 13 by her Mother, she was inspired to take her love for cooking and years of experience to a whole new dimension, opening her own restaurant 10 years ago. In addition to 43 years of cooking experience, Barbara has 3 years of education in food service management and culinary technology.

Messiah Too!! Is a full service restaurant and banquet hall facility offering professional all-occasion food service and event planning. Barbara says, At Messiah, Too!! we know what customer service means and we work diligently to provide a first class restaurant and food service facility for our customers. I love meeting our customers and making sure they get quality food and excellent service second to none! “Customer satisfaction is always our top priority!”

Gail Cauble Gurley, owner of Cottage Garden Publishing, has exchanged her career as a probation/parole officer with the state of North Carolina for a passion that is near and dear to her heart. After winning a national short story writing contest and retiring from her career she decided to take her hobby of writing to a more serious level.

She says it brings her much joy when readers say they are touched by her writing. In describing her work Gail says, “Reading is a wonderful way to relax and relieve stress. My work is gentle and soothing without violence or anything that would offend a reader.” She says her writing is not about making a huge profit, but rather in reaching as many people as possible with her work and message. She believes, “Reading has become an endangered species as we demand more and more immediate gratification by watching a video or looking for books online that we don’t have to touch. Reading should be a tactile experience as well as visual with the ability to touch and smell the pages not only while reading them but after placing the book on a shelf.

Books are friends that can give great joy and companionship and should be treated with deep respect and honor, just as any respected and honored friend.”

With three books currently in print, her latest work is due to debut August 1. It is an editing of the cookbook she grew up with in Rowan County, produced by the church she grew up in. It is a wonderful sharing of recipes that reflect a kinder, gentler time in our world.

It is a gift of nostalgia that will give peace to the cooks who use it. Cost is $7.00 and is available at Romantic Treasures in Jamestown; Queen B in Archdale, Carolina Lily in Salisbury or it can be purchased by e-mailing Gail at gailgurley@northstate.net g g y .

MEET MEET Kendra Koontz Wendy Farmer Owner

Kendra Koontz, owner of Rushed Refunds in Lexington, has been preparing taxes for more than 20 years, a skill that she perfected while working under the skilled and watchful eye of her Mother. Fresh out of school, she went to work for Xpress Refunds in Thomasville which is owned by Carroll Gray, Kendra’s Mother. She had started the business in 1991 and has since grown to multiple locations. Kendra worked diligently, learning all she could about the business, and in 2007 she decided to spread her wings, opening her own business, Rushed Refunds, in another community of course, to see if success would follow her as it had her Mother. In the three years she has owned the business she has found her own success and proven her business acumen with satisfied customers helping to spread the word.

In addition to tax preparation, Kendra does electronic filing, direct deposit and 24-Hour Tax Refund Loans. “And for those who want a really quick return,” she states, I can offer refunds in minutes for a lot less than the big name chains, sometimes saving the client literally hundreds of dollars.”

Kendra’s secret to success is in her customer service. She says, “I will never treat my clients as a number as do some places; I just look at each individual’s taxes as if they are my own and then do them at a fair price.”

& Tina Griffin Owners

Wendy and Tina’s mission in life could be equated to the Apostle Paul who said, “For me to live is Christ” They have taken their faith and purpose in life to serving the community, opening IDA Christian Books & Gifts in January of this year. When asked what prompted them to open their business they said, “This area has been without a Bible book store for years. The Lord just opened the door for us to do something about that.”

They said, “Our mission at IDA Christian Books & Gifts is to point the lost to Jesus and equip the saved to grow in the Grace and knowledge of the Lord. We strive to be a welcoming environment for believers and seekers alike. We purpose to represent Christ to all who enter and point everyone toward Him!” With a mission to serve Christ and represent him to the community, Wendy and Tina Griffin offer a wide variety of Christian based books and products including fiction, non-fiction, gift items, church supplies, CD’s, and the new Clear Play DVD Players, a family friendly DVD player that filters violence, inappropriate language, and enables your family to enjoy all of the great Hollywood movies you’ve always wanted to watch without all of the junk that you didn’t want to see or hear!

Current offerings include Back-to-School items such as notebooks and faith based decorations. They also have a new line of graphic T’s in a variety of designs. And of course, new merchandise will be arriving soon for Fall as well as their Christmas line.

The opening of IDA Christian Books & Gifts has made shopping for Christian merchandise convenient for Archdale and the sur-r rounding area.

MEET Tomi Watson Owner Capitol Medals Tomi took over ownership of Capitol Medals in April of ‘07 after spending 20 years in the print industry in Customer Service Mgmt. Tomi took on the challenge of business ownership because she enjoys the act of “making someone’s day” with the creation of an engraved plate or a large corporate order of Awards and plaques.

Another reason Tomi left corporate life was because she could bring Jewel - her Westie - with her to work. Jewel has been a valuable asset to the co. and acts as the PR Director.

Since starting out, Tomi has established a business philoophy of providing a quality product, outstanding customer service and “doing what I say I’m going to do!”
