It’s Bush Hill time!

his year’s Bush Hill Heritage Festival — Friday and Saturday — will be full of entertainment, food, crafts, informational booths and more than 200 vendors from across the nation.

But that’s no different than previous years.

What sets this year apart? It’s the 25th anniversary of the celebration that was first held in 1986 as the bicentennial of the community’s Quaker heritage. A dedication of a time capsule will be held at 9 a.m. on the Main Stage.

All of the events, as well as a history of the Festival, are outlined in a tab section, included with this edition of the NEWS. Festivalgoers can start the celebration about 6 p.m. Friday on Bonnie Place with a free concert and plenty of activities for

the kids.

Saturday’s main event, on N.C. 62 and its side streets, will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In the 25 years of the Festival, the NEWS has stood steadfast in its support and in recent years increased its participation as the premier sponsor.

The NEWS booth not only will feature free newspapers, but also information about becoming an organ donor.

The booth is dedicated in memory of Daron Skeen, whose life was extended because of organ donation. Read Kathy Stuart’s column on page 3.

Furniture warehouse to get new life A

manufacturing business is expected to bring new jobs to Archdale when it moves into the former Rose Furniture Distribution center at 3803 Comanche Drive.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS J.L Darr & Sons Inc., the owners, plan to use a Building Reuse and Restoration Grant of $195,722 from the N.C. Rural Center to help upgrade the warehouse.

“The building’s still good, there are just some changes that need to be made for their use,” said Scott Darr. He said he could not reveal the name of his potential tenant, yet, but hopes to disclose that information by October.

The city of Archdale had to apply for the grant by the Sept. 3 deadline. The city will be obligated to match $20,000.

Officially, the money will be loaned to Darr & Sons, but the loan will be forgiven if the jobs are created within 18 months and retained for at least six months after that.

Softball tournament to benefit COAT G

uil-Rand firefighters will go to bat for Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity as they host the first annual 2010 COAT Softball Tournament, Nov. 10-14 at Creekside Park.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER All proceeds from the tournament will benefit COAT. Organizers also hope to score a truckload of food donations for the food pantry ministry.

Guil-Rand firefighters plan to compete as a team, said Guil-Rand Assistant Chief Scott Spencer. Four other teams have already registered.

Space in the tournament is limited to 10 teams, which

will represent area churches, groups and businesses.

Teams will vie for a spot in the championship game.

First, second and third-place teams will receive a trophy.

The entry fee is $175 per team and the deadline to register is Oct. 1.

To register, mail team name and registration amount to Guil-Rand Fire Department, 10506 S. Main St., Archdale, NC 27263, Attention: Frank Crotts. Include a contact person and telephone number. Team rosters must be submitted by Nov. 1.

Registrations may be dropped off at the main fire station.

Games will follow Amateur Softball Association of America regulations. Local rules specify slaughter rule if there is a 20-run lead after three innings, or a 10-run lead after five innings.

Only three home runs will be allowed per game. Any additional home runs batted will count as outs — unless teams “buy” additional home run privileges by bringing in canned food. Each 50 pounds of non-perishable food will purchase an extra home run.

“Some of those guys just love to go out there and hit home runs,” said Spencer. “We are hoping that teams will bring in 50 pounds of food, and this will allow them to bat an extra home run.”

There is no limit to the amount of extra home runs that may be “purchased.”

The first game is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10. Games will take place daily, with the tournament SEE COAT SOFTBALL ON PAGE 2

At the beginning, West Davidson scored two touchdowns to bring the score to 14-0, but in the second quarter Josh Rickert scored a short 3-yard run after a handoff by Garrett Rains to come within 7 points of West Davidson.

Chris Clubb tried to hold West Davidson back with a 10-yard tackle, but West Davidson’s Ozzie Moore ran into the endzone for 7 more points to bring the score at the half to 21-7.

Into the second half, Wheatmore tried to come back with an amazing 82-yard kickoff return by Josh Rickert to bring the score to 21-13. Wheatmore failed to come back as West Davidson got three more touchdowns.

The final score was 41-13. Wheatmore stands 1-2 as the team heads into the fourth game of the season.

Keep THS traditions alive To the editor, I would like to express a few concerns I have about Trinity High School, where my child attends. A lot of changes have been made. Most of them I am not happy with and I would like to voice my opinion.

THS or Trinity High School?

The school wants us to believe that this stands for Tradition Honor Success. So far this year, tradition has been overlooked for all our senior students.

First, the painting of the lockers for

seniors was done away with. My child was looking forward to this tradition with friends.

Next, I learn there will be no special parking for seniors. My child had parking last year as a top junior. As a top 20 senior, I thought it would be a reward for the past years of hard work and achievements.

Tradition?

Next to go — sports announcements.

There’s no time to allow our kids a little praise for a good job. These young adults

have all worked hard to get this far and have waited for their turn for some Trinity tradition.

Why are we allowing them to be disappointed? This should be the best year of their life. Let’s honor their success with some Trinity tradition. What will we let the school take away next? Toga day?

What about graduation at the ’Dog Pit? Sandra King Archdale

Carlton T. Boyles, Mayor City of Trinity

Make a miracle. Be a donor.

I

remember the ‘Why, God?’ that raged in me when I was told that the kidney that my husband Henry had been called to receive would go to another person.

It was late 2006 and he had been on the waiting list for nearly nine years at that time. All I could focus on was this: when will it be his turn? Our turn?

That glorious moment came just months later and the match was perfect. Looking back, I should have had more trust, but I was so weary and he was so sick.

That’s why I can imagine the weariness of the 3,523 people in North Carolina and their families who wait for that call. Na-

tionally, 108,553 people and their families are waiting.

Many people in this community know the stress of waiting, the joy of receiving and the agony of making a decision on behalf of a loved one who has passed away.

It’s a story the NEWS has covered from every angle.

In February, we told you about the Loves. Bill had a heart transplant and then a kidney transplant. Annually, they place flowers in the sancutary of Archdale United Methodist to honor their donor family.

Last year, the NEWS wrote about Rex and Joyce Mason, who walked the journey with their son Anthony, who received a liver transplant.

Daron Skeen with his triplets

Like my family, the Masons readily talk about the experience and work to educate potential donors. In 2009, they received a special award from Carolina Donor Services for their commitment.

In April 2009, we brought you the story of Todd Schmaus, a Trinity resident who had been listed for a liver transplant.

Last week, we published the obituary of Daron Skeen, a warrior in his faith and an encourager to all who knew him.

Just the few times I spoke with him, he would say he was blessed because two heart transplants had enabled him to be a son, brother, husband and the father of triplets. He was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.

I’ve had the privilege of talking with those who wait, those who have received and those who have sacrificed. The 2006 Bush Hill Heritage Festival came full circle when a donor family and a recipient connected.

I was there to witness it.

A few years before, I had written a story about Rebecca Marshall, whose senior project was about the dialysis that was sustaining the life of her mother, Pam. Sometime later I was happy to report that Pam had received a kidney transplant. Pam speculated that she may have received a kidney from a 5-year-old killed in an automobile accident. The timeline fit.

Prior to the 2006 Festival, the community mourned the death of Trinity High School student Sandy Kivett. Her family found comfort that she was an organ donor.

In memory of Sandy, the NEWS had offered information from Carolina Donor Services in its booth. That morning, during setup, as I turned the corner from Bonnie Place to W. White Drive, I saw the Carolina Donor Services logo in the booth of Barbara Green, owner of Messiah Too! How wonderful, I thought, that someone

Kathy Stuart Editor & Organ Donor

else believes so passionately in this cause.

In her booth was a picture of a beautiful 5-year-old. She told me Jukiya died in an auto accident and the family had made the decision to donate her organs.

I paced the street putting together that Jukiya could be Pam’s donor. I told Barbara that I might know someone who received a kidney from Jukiya.

Barbara beamed and said she wanted to meet her. Typically, these sort of meetings are not arranged by nosey editors, but I had to call Pam, who was as enthusiastic as Barbara.

I don’t know if that moment was meant for them or me, but I was included in that hug — a hug that gave my family enough hope to continue the wait.

I hope this column gives hope to those who wait, assurance to those who have sacrificed and encouragement to those who struggle with the decision to become an organ donor.

“In one moment, a life may be lost,” said Beth Hinesley of Carolina Donor Services.

“In one moment, a miracle can be shared.”

Make a miracle. Be an organ donor.

We’ll show you how at the NEWS booth at the corner of N.C. 62 and Bonnie Place.

Our booth is dedicated in memory of Daron and to all those families who have sacrificed and all those who wait.

The forum will be moderated by a representative from the League of Women Voters of the Piedmont Triad. This ensures impartiality and that procedural rules are followed.

United Way of Greater High Point receives four national awards

T

he United Way of Greater High Point has received four national awards for excellence in its local Alexis de Tocqueville Society, which is comprised of donors giving $10,000 or more annually.

Awards included Most Tocqueville Members, Net Increase in Tocqueville Membership, Net Increase in Community Impact Dollars Raised and Most National Society Members.

The local Tocqueville Society, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, was formed in High Point in 1990 with five founding members.

United Way Worldwide estimates that a community should have one Tocqueville donor per 10,000 population, meaning that the Greater High Point community could reasonably expect to have approximately 10 donors making gifts of $10,000 and above.

The 2009 United Way campaign boasted 61 members who raised $729,772 of the campaign’s $4,336,572 total.

During the past 20 years, Greater High Point’s Tocqueville Society has raised $13,070,000.

Chris Greene, a former campaign co-chair and longtime United Way volunteer, serves as the local chair of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society.

For more information, contact Sarah Barker at 8990871 or United Way President Bobby Smith at 899-0878.

Archdale Drug supports Bush Hill for 11th year

A

rchdale Drug, located at 11220 N. Main St. in Archdale, is celebrating its 11th consecutive year of Gold Sponsorship of the Bush Hill Heritage Festival and it’s not surprising.

STAFF REPORTS

Since Ryan Hoskins opened the drug store in 1999, he has continued his tradition of supporting and being involved in this community that he proudly calls home.

Although Ryan was born in Greenville, Miss., and grew up in Gadsden, Ala., Raleigh, and Mobile, Ala., he has lived in the High Point and Sophia area for the last 28 years – and this is where his heart is!

His enthusiastic and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as the tremendous support of his loyal and faithful customers, has enabled him to grow his business during the last 10 years. He was able to open Deep River Drug in 2005 to serve the north High Point and Jamestown areas. Last year he joined the new Cornerstone Health Care at Westchester facility in High Point with a new pharmacy, Archdale Drug at Cornerstone.

Located just inside their main entrance, the Cornerstone store is positioned to serve the west High Point and Thomasville markets.

These three pharmacies have allowed Ryan to expand on his vision and desire to offer quality, personalized health care to a larger geographical area than originally planned.

In doing so, he has also been fortunate to surround himself with a dedicated, friendly and professional staff to meet these needs.

Their shared goal is to treat each customer as the most important person who walks in the door.

The Archdale Drug location has seen some visual upgrades during the past year.

In addition to receiving a major exterior face-lift that included structural enhancements and new signage sporting their new logo, they have expanded their parking lot to better serve their customers and installed a customer-friendly pick-up and drop-off service window. This feature has enabled customers to speed up their transaction time.

It has also been touted by young mothers with children, as well as grandmothers with their grandkids, as a positive and helpful change to transact business without having to park their vehicle and bring the youngsters inside.

In addition, customers with mobility issues are also very appreciative of the advantages that the new drive-through has to offer.

If you want to experience genuine service as in bygone days . . . free delivery of prescription medications . . . or just enjoy some good conversation over a free soft drink or cup of coffee while you wait, give Archdale Drug a try. You’ll be glad you did!

Sense of community guides Festival volunteers M

ost people don’t realize what it takes to pull off the Bush Hill Heritage Festival successfully. They can’t imagine how many hours it takes to plan a party for 25,000 people that includes fun, food and entertainment, and do it in a safe environment.

Hundreds of hours are necessary to recruit sponsors, hire the entertainers, register vendors, mark the streets, recruit and train event volunteers and develop publicity.

And then there are the 70-plus volunteers who help us the day of the festival.

They spend their time helping vendors get to the right place on the street, directing traffic, answering questions, managing the entertainment stages and monitoring the safety and security of the event.

Why does the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, which has organized this festival since 1986, continue to commit staff and volunteer resources to this event?

Why does the City of Archdale provide support staff for sign-hanging, street blocking, street-marking, trash removal and security?

Why do our volunteers return year after year to help on what has traditionally been

Joan Rotramel

Kim Cates Co-chairmen

Bush Hill Heritage Festival an incredibly long, hot day in September?

I know the answer. All of us love the sense of community that we feel, not just on that day, but as we work together as a team to organize and develop this very complicated logistical feat.

The Bush Hill Heritage Festival and the Bush Hill Bash celebrate community. It’s a chance to see your neighbor and catch up on what’s going on in their life. It’s a chance to see what new businesses are in town. It’s a chance to support your local school, church or civic group.

And it’s a chance to participate in the freedom that we have to gather and celebrate.

On behalf of the Chamber, I express my thanks — not just to the volunteers, the City of Archdale, Guil-Rand Fire Department and Archdale Police Department — but also to our sponsors and our vendors.

I also want to say a big THANK YOU to the community.

You’re why we do this. We thank you for being so faithful to show up, year after year, rain or shine, to reaffirm our belief that this is the right thing to do.

Last year, in this column, I wrote that it was my final year as chairman.

Let me introduce Kim Cates with Domino’s Pizza in Hillsville as my co-chairman this

year. Next year, she will serve as chairman.

As I step down from this awesome position, I hand over an event that is a vital part of our community. I know she will help the Chamber improve this event each year.

I am pleased that I was asked to be a part of this wonderful event. It has brought me closer to this community.

Please don’t wait to be asked, come out and help make this an awesome event.

Without volunteers our event could not be the success that it is. As I hand over the reins to Kim, I encourage you to give her the support that you’ve given me.

A message from Kim Cates, I would like to thank Joan for being the chairman of this event for so many years.

She has done an amazing job. Along with the awesome staff of the ArchdaleTrinity Chamber, they have worked tirelessly to make this event one of the top events in North Carolina.

I am very honored to help with this venture and excited about our 25th anniversary celebration. There is sure to be much enjoyment for folks of all ages.

Please come out and support our vendors and our community.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Bush Hill Festival goes green

A

t the Bush Hill Heritage Festival, vendors and charities sell hundreds of canned drinks and bottles of water to thirsty people. This year, for the first time, all of those cans and bottles can be recycled.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS Waste Industries and the Archdale-Trinity Middle School Environmental Club have partnered to help the environment and take advantage of the Festival’s recyclables. Waste Industries will have three large dumpsters behind their booth, on N.C. 62 between Kangaroo and Archdale Friends Meeting. One will be for cans and bottles; one will be for “comingle” recycling, which includes paper and newspaper; and the third will be for cardboard.

Package Crafters has donated smaller containers

that will be placed next to garbage cans throughout the Festival area. Volunteers from ATMS will empty the smaller containers and sort the items. Best of all, the Environmental Club gets to keep the money from the sale of recyclables for their projects.

“All of the revenue that’s going to be generated that day is going to these kids,” said Roger Marcum, general manager at Waste Industries.

The recycling bins aren’t limited to just festivalgoers; anybody can bring their recyclables from home and drop them off for free. The recycling bins will be available during the Festival, from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Or drop them off right now at RBC Bank, on the corner of N.C. 62 and Main Street. Drive-by bins will be at the bank to collect materials through Friday. Bank employees will take the materials to the Waste Industries bins during the Festival, all of it to benefit the ATMS environmental program.

Bring ...

Paper products — newspapers and inserts, office paper, computer paper, magazines, junk mail and paper grocery bags.

Cardboard.

Plastic containers — soft drink or water bottles, milk jugs and detergent bottles, anything with the recycling symbol and the number 1 or 2 on the bottom of the container.

Discard caps, rinse and flatten the bottles.

Glass — clear, green and brown glass beverage bottles and food jars. Discard caps and lids and rinse out the containers.

Plastic grocery bags, egg cartons or styrofoam, or plastics labeled with higher numbers than 1 or 2.

Non-food or beverage containers, coat hangers, lids or other scrap metal.

Dylan, a rising junior at Trinity High School, lost his life in a four-wheeler accident Aug. 6.

Comforting words, thoughts and prayers have made an impossibly painful situation a little less painful. To the service providers who made Dylan’s ceremony so beautiful, thank you.

This community has helped us through the darkest days of our lives. By sharing our grief, you lessened our burden.

For all the people who have kept Dylan in their prayers, know that those prayers have given us inspiration and strength. You have treated us as family. Although we lost a good part of the joy and radiance of

our family, your embrace has helped us contend with our loss. Thank you for coming to the visitation and the funeral and for sharing in the remembrance of Dylan.

This is a sad time for all of us, but we find comfort in knowing how fortunate Dylan was to have known each of you. At times like these, the company of friends is incredibly comforting.

Our reflection as a family has brought us to this conclusion: cherish your loved ones and your friends like there was no tomorrow. Live your lives to the fullest, help one another, and be true to yourself.

We will always be grateful to and for each one of you. Please continue to remember our family in your prayers.

Thank you

Meet Your Neighbor ...

VERNON CHAMBERS

‘Cowboy’ ‘I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande But my legs ain’t bowed and my cheeks ain’t tanned I’m the cowboy who never saw a cow Never roped a steer ‘cause I don’t know how I sure ain’t fixin’ to start in now Yippee i oh ti-ay!

Yippee i oh ti-ay!’

Written by Johnny Mercer 1936 Recorded by Bing Crosby

Vernon with his quarter horse ‘Lady.’

Cowboy greets a Doug Hawks.

Biscuitville corrals a cowboy ‘Y

ippee i oh ti-ay.’ It’s not Pig Latin. It’s a greeting you just might hear at Biscuitville if Vernon Chambers, or ‘Cowboy,’ opens the door.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER Across the room, funny man Ronnie Hines responds with another “Yippee i oh ti-ay,” a line from the cowboy song “I’m an Old Cowhand.”

Somewhere in the land called Biscuitville, Vernon got the name “Cowboy.” He doesn’t remember who called it first, but then the “Old Cowhand from Rio Grande” never roped a steer.

The banter fills the restaurant just like little dogies going to the Big Corral. The little dogies known as the Biscuitville staff crashed the gate a few weeks ago to give Vernon a candle-filled doughnut for his 91st birthday and sang “Happy Birthday.”

It’s all in a day’s kidding and for Vernon this is an affirmation of being loved and loving those around you. Guess you could call it part of Gene Autry’s Cowboy’s Code of Ethics.

Rule 7: He must be a good worker.

“He does a lot of nice things and doesn’t expect anything in return,” said Biscuitville owner Abed Hassan. “He cleans the tables, helps the customers ... even opens the doors for them. He always has a smile on his face.”

By the way, Vernon isn’t on the payroll. He just loves to help out.

“I come out to see the crowd and talk to them,” said Vernon. “I like all of them...” which leads to rules 1-10 which all boils down to this — be nice to people.

Vernon does more than talk to the customers. He does all he can to make them feel special.

“He is a people person,” said Woodrow Pitts. “He has truly never met a stranger.”

Vernon gallops through the restaurant as he greets, so it may take a little while to notice that he has a disability.

As a 10-year-old his left arm was severed when he and a cousin crawled underneath a freight train.

Nevertheless ... Rule 7 remains strong with Vernon.

“He does more work with one hand than most people do with two,” Abed said.

Vernon doesn’t remember who among his Biscuitville friends gave him the nickname of “Cowboy,” but he knows why.

His favorite attire consists of a Stetson hat (a white one and a black one), boots and a belt buckle. Add to that an affinity for animals, and it is easy to see why he earned the nickname.

“I had a horse — two horses — a Tennessee Walker and a quarter horse,” said Vernon. “I sold them two years ago when it was so hard to get hay.”

Vernon doesn’t plan on getting another horse, but he doesn’t rule it out, either. He knows how to saddle a horse, dig a hole, drop a fence post and repair barbed wire fence — traits Gene Autry would be proud of. Unlike the cowhand from Rio Grande, Vernon probably would take on the task of roping a steer — one-handed at that.

For one moment in the 1950s, Vernon forgot the cowboy music of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers and opted for an Elvis concert at the Centre Theatre in High Point. Yep, rock ‘n roll Elvis. He never knew that his future wife, Elizabeth, was among the swooning girls.

They officially met in the spring of 1953, married Oct. 4 and still live in High Point.

They have a daughter, Nancy Scott, who lives in Florida; three grandsons; two great-grandchildren and one on the way.

Vernon has led an adventurous life. Originally from Fort Payne, Ala., he hitchhiked to High Point, where his sister and brother-in-law lived. When he arrived, his sister Odessa and husband

‘Cowboy’ (Vernon Chambers) helps Biscuitville customers with cleanup. In the photo right, he and his wife Elizabeth pal with Biscuitville owner Abed Hassan.

Billy Ingle invited him to stay in their home. Vernon kept house, cooked the evening meal and looked after his niece Gaynell while the couple worked their shifts at Silverknit Hosiery.

Later on, he worked in a shipyard as a tack welder, and in the furniture industry as a sander.

Jeff Hazelton recalls Vernon’s work ethic back when they both worked at the Sylvania plant in High Point.

“He was on the assembly line, while I worked in receiving,” Jeff said. “He worked just as hard and was as nice as he could be. Whenever he saw me across the street he would holler at me. He still works just that hard, and he always gets the job done.”

Vernon’s silver belt buckle shines, but friend Doug Hawks knows that Vernon possesses something even shinier.

“He has a heart of gold,” said Doug. “He can’t sit still — he feels like he’s got to be helping someone all the time.

I love to see him smile. He’s a great person.”

Rule 9: He must respect women, parents and his nation’s laws.

“What I like most about him is that he likes to honor people by giving to them,” said Abed. “He always has a smile on his face. He cleans the tables and helps the customers. He does a lot of things and doesn’t expect anything in return.”

For Elizabeth, well, she loves being Cowboy’s wife.

“I think he’s very special,” she said. “I think he has a compassion for people. If he sees someone who feels uncomfortable, he’ll start talking with them. He is the sort of person who is quick to see when help is needed and he is johnny-on-the-spot to help out.”

Make that Cowboy-on-the-spot. He’s riding tall in the Big Corral of Biscuitville.

“Yippee i oh ti-ay! Yippee i oh ti-ay.”

‘Pioneer Days’ a success B

ill Kinley, who served on Archdale’s first city council, stood humbly, throwing up a small wave to acknowledge thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER Mike and Kathy Liner, owners of Pioneer Family Restaurant, threw a party Aug. 30 to celebrate community and give thanks to all those who have helped the Pioneer thrive since its 1987 opening — people like Councilman Kinley. “Bill was on Archdale’s first city council,� Mike said in an opening ceremony. “They worked to re-incorporate the city and provide safe water.

What they did wasn’t only for them — it was for everyone’s benefit.� “For everyone� captures the theme of the celebration.

The room was filled with more politicians than you could shake a ballot at — Congressman Howard Coble, Sen. Jerry Tillman, Archdale Mayor Bert Lance-Stone and council members, and Sheriff Maynard Reid, but Mike greeted his long-time customers with the same dignity.

Mary and Raleigh ThigpeCongressman Howard Coble called the nof Cedar Square have been Pioneer a piece of coming to the Pioneer FamAmericana. ily Restaurant ever since it opened. They were among the 120 guests who attended.

In the opening ceremony, Mike and Kathy spoke from the heart.

Thanks went first to the Almighty, who has blessed them over the years. Pastor Ray Luther, of Springfield Friends Meeting, gave the invocation and sang “God Bless America.�

Mike paused to thank community leaders, especially Councilman Kinley, who had worked to provide city infrastructure for businesses to succeed.

But then the tables turned, so to speak. Guest speakers gave high praise to the Liners and the restaurant which has become a community icon. “The Pioneer has been an important part of Archdale’s history,� said Stone. “When it burned, we nearly lost an institution in the community. We are so proud of the Pioneer because it literally rose from the ashes.� “This is Americana at work at the Pioneer,� said Coble.

Make sure address numbers are visible I

t could mean the difference in life or death if an address number is not clearly posted.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER The requirement of house numbers is defined in city code, said Zeb Holden, enforcement officer for Archdale’s Planning Department.

However, he and Archdale Chief of Police Darrell Gibbs want to reiterate the importance because the police department will soon go live with its enhanced computer aided dispatch system.

The new system will improve safety for citizens and officers. The CAD system will automatically pop up with history reports when an address is entered. This feature will allow officers to prepare for potentially dangerous situations based on prior information.

The visibility of an address becomes critical for input into the CAD system and if the address is not visible, response time

It’s the law...

Archdale requires that residential house numbers contrast with the color scheme of the structure; be at least 3 inches high; and be posted at the front.

If a structure is more than 100 feet from a street, or not visible from the street, the numbers should be posted at the driveway entrance.

Randolph County ordinance requires that residential numbers contrast with the color scheme; be posted on the front of the building or at the entrance, whichever is the most clearly visible; and be at least 4 inches in height.

When a building or residence is 75 feet or more from the street, an additional set of numbers should be posted at the street.

Bush Hill Heritage Festival thrives at 25 T

he Bush Hill Heritage Festival has gone through many changes in its 25-year history, but its goals remain the same: to boost the economy, especially for small businesses, and to celebrate the heritage of the rural Quaker settlement that became Archdale.

by Elizabeth Saunders The start of an idea In 1786, William Tomlinson, one of the Quakers who had moved to the Piedmont from Bush River, S.C., bought land near Muddy Creek from John Hoggatt, one of the Quakers who had moved south from Pennsylvania. The Tomlinsons and other families who came with them acquired more land and soon set up thriving businesses: wagonmaking, leatherwork, selling goods that came in from the coastal towns and farming. They starting educating their children; Martha Haworth taught school in Josiah Tomlinson’s saddle shop.

Their settlement became the town of Bush Hill. The residents later changed the name to Archdale in honor of John Archdale, a Quaker governor of North Carolina during the colonial era.

Two hundred years later, descendants of those early settlers and a few newcomers were still hard at work. Those early businesses had gradually changed into furniture manufacturing, retail, grocery stores and schools — with a few farmers, horsefolk and dog trainers still in the region.

In early 1986, a group of small business owners were very active, holding seminars and working with the brand new Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce. Kathy Stuart, then the owner of Country Manor gift store, had low sales because of extensive street work that had blocked many driveways. Stuart and her colleagues wanted to attract customers back to Archdale.

Pam Morgan, then executive director of the Chamber, had been watching the successful street festivals of Asheboro and other cities. She, Stuart and other members of the small business committee thought they could do something similar.

“We were trying to get Archdale on the map,” Morgan recalls.

“We were trying to create an event that would bring all the 1986-1987 Kathy Stuart community together,” said Ro1988 Roland Albertson land Albertson, who was Cham1989 Debbie Coggins ber president at the time. New 1990 Sandy Lanford families had been moving into the 1991 Sandy Lanford, chairman area, and Albertson recognized Bonnie Clark, coordinator an opportunity for local business 1992 Dan and Denise Warren owners and craftsmen to show off 1993-1995 Jerry Wade their talents.

had been settled in 1786. The upcoming event became a bicentennial celebration.

“We have a rich heritage here,” says Albertson. He and the others wanted residents to know about their history.

The idea turns into a celebration The committee had to learn as they went — none of them had done anything like this before. They found vendors and sponsors, coordinated with city officials and police, recruited volunteers and got the word out. New Chamber Executive Director Bill Davis and the Jaycees coordinated entertainment, using a flat-bed truck as a stage.

Warren and Betty Leach Brown created a display about Archdale’s history, set up in the old Randolph Community College Extension building near Archdale Elementary School. Children read from oral histories they had gathered from “old people.”

Trinity High School graduate Starr Ayers donated her artwork to commemorate the bicentennial. The Chamber sold limited-edition prints of “In Thy Presence,” which depicted a Quaker girl communing “in the Light.”

People came out to Bush Hill Bicentennial Celebration on Sept. 20, 1986. They saw the history displays, shopped among the crafts and ate traditional foods — like barbecue and bake sale goodies. Chamber members, churches, historians and civic groups and businesses all worked to-

gether to pull the festival off.

Let’s do this again!

The Bicentennial Celebration was so successful, the Chamber decided to turn it into an annual event.

It was named the “Bush Hill Heritage Festival” and attracted more than 7,000 people and 70 artists and craftsmen its second year. In 1995, the date was changed from the third Saturday in September to the second because of competing festivals in the Piedmont.

Except for a few years where rain dampened attendance — including Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 — the festival has grown every year. This year, the Chamber anticipates 200 vendors and 25,000 attendees. The Festival was included in the latest list of the top 20 events in the Southeast by the Atlanta-based Southeast Tourism Society.

The event became a fundraiser for the Chamber by about 1991, to help pay for staff and events throughout the year. Nonprofit organizations and original craftsmen get a break on the booth fee.

The Festival has grown and changed with the community and with the times, but the heart of the fall street festival has remained the same. Crafters use the event not only to sell their wares, but also for Christian outreach, to fund Boy Scout trips and to enjoy a hobby of making things after their day jobs.

Whether with crafts or food, civic groups make money to fund their programs as well. Politicians meet people and shake hands. Neighbors sit in the shade and catch up.

For several years, hot air balloon rides gave people a bird’s eye view of Archdale. A ferris wheel gave them a lift another year.

The historical theme has taken various turns throughout the years — from a collaboration with Duke University for its 1988 sesquicentennial celebration to Heritage Hall displays and 2009’s Fabulous Friday at Archdale Friends Meeting.

A 5K race was added in 1996.

Children’s events and music have been included since the beginning. Kids have enjoyed the bungee jump and giant slides as their smaller siblings enjoyed the pony rides.

Big Wheel races started in 2006.

Alive and thriving One year, when it rained, a vendor put away his sunglasses and started selling umbrellas. The Festival’s organizers try to incorporate that kind of innovation into their planning.

For example, the Festival has included a Friday night event since 2007. Formerly at Creekside Park, this year’s music and family fun, “Bush Hill Bash,” will be consolidated around Bonnie Place and White Drive.

Festival to mark anniversary with time capsule A s part of its 25th anniversary celebration of the Bush Hill Heritage Festival, a time capsule will be buried at Creekside Park.

BY ROBYN HANKINS The time capsule is sponsored by KIHigh Point, a furniture manufacturer, under the direction of Danny Hankins.

Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce President Beverly Nelson said the time capsule will hold festival memorabilia.

“We’ll be including a proclamation from the city of Archdale, the Bush Hill tab section from the NEWS, this year’s festival

T-shirt and the new directory of Chamber members,” Nelson said.

The capsule will be filled during the Festival’s opening ceremonies on Saturday, Sept. 11, but will be buried at Creekside Park, on protected land, at a later date.

A plaque will mark the spot where the capsule is buried.

“We’ll also include a collective letter from this year’s Festival Committee to the committee of 2035, as well as additional memorabilia from the first festival, including a print of ‘In Thy Presence’ by Starr Ayers,” Nelson added.

“In Thy Presence” is a pointillism drawing made especially for the first Bush Hill Heritage Festival in 1986.

FESTIVAL HISTORY Continued from page 6 Bush Hill Heritage Festival,” said Beverly Nelson, Chamber president. “We’re also very aware of how the community has changed. We have tried to be adaptive and flexible to design events that mirror those changes.”

The two-day event not only extends the fun, but also brings traffic to hotels — hotels that didn’t exist when the Festival started.

“We’re always asking people, what would you like to see?” she explained.

Nelson has used surveys to get local

input and she monitors other festivals and regional trends.

“People wanted more entertainment and the Friday night event offers that in a relaxed, pre-festival venue.

“The Festival is a living, breathing event with 25,000 heartbeats,” said Stuart, who has watched it from the standpoint of organizer, board member of local charities and NEWS editor.

“Every chairman has brought a new aspect to it and it just gets better and better.”

Archdale Bass Club offers CastingKids

A

rchdale Bass Club for the first year will offer CastingKids, a free fishing game that teaches young, aspiring anglers one of the most important things — how to cast that line.

The game will be held in conjunction with Bush Hill Bash, Friday, Sept. 10, in the Bank of North Carolina parking lot on Bonnie Place in Archdale.

According to NEWS columnist Bill Frazier of Archdale Bass Club, the challenge of the game is to flip, pitch and cast a line with accuracy. Mastering these three techniques will give any angler the skills they need to present lures and catch bass.

“The kids will be casting at targets,” Frazier said. “We’ll have two lanes going and all they need to do is show up.”

Trophies will be awarded to first, second and third place winners in each age group. A fishing rod will be presented to the top angler in each category.

“We just want to get kids interested in fishing,” Frazier added.

Stills Family Band will amaze crowds

ith the first three notes of “Amazing Grace,” 7-year-old Kayleigh Stills can quiet a room — or a Festival.

The youngster, along with her 3-yearold brother Noah, will perform on the Festival’s Gospel Stage with the Stills Family Band from noon to 12:45 p.m.

Kayleigh amazes crowds and has placed in several fiddler’s conventions. Noah sings “Amazing Grace” and more, and seems to bring the audience to laughter.

The pair, along with their dad, performed for ABWA’s community awards night and drew multiple rounds of applause.

Mad Scientist at Bush Hill!

Mwha-ha-ha G

o mad with science, dance with puppets, laugh with the clown, break a board and enjoy the magic in the Children’s Area of the Bush Hill Heritage Festival.

The special events of the Children’s Area runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Hillcrest Drive at Archdale Elementary School.

Icky, disgusting, gooey Mad Science will offer a slimemaking booth. Kids will see two top secret concoctions mixed to create the creepy mess. Kids get to pick the color.

The science behind the creation is educational. In fact, Mad Science in the Piedmont offers science-themed special event shows for school assemblies, corporate events and community centers. The shows are designed to be fun and educational, and entertain young audiences with scientific concepts.

There’s more at the festival — face painting, pony rides, puppet shows, martial arts and kiddie rides.

And just so the parents think the fun is even more educational, there’s a little bit of CARE and DARE and the Archdale Police Department just to make friends.

Returning to the stage are the Mountain Marionettes, whose productions feature short strung marionettes with the puppeteer in full view of the audience. It also includes audience participation.

Without sponsors, Festival would not be possible - thank you S

ince the Bush Hill Heritage Festival was founded as the 1986 bicentennial celebration of the Quaker settlement known as Bush Hill, the commitment of sponsors and volunteers have driven the event to a regional level, prompting the Festival to be named one of the top 20 September festivals in the Southeast.

The Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, which has organized the event since 1986, says more than an estimated 20,000 people attend. This year, the festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary, a testament to the commitment of sponsors and the community.

“Hosting and sustaining a community event of this magnitude in this economy is a phenomenal accomplishment,” said Chamber President Beverly Nelson. “It just can’t happen without a lot of people who believe in the value of this event” The commitment of the festival’s sponsors is just as strong as the festival itself.

“The Bush Hill Heritage Festival would not happen without the sponsors who step up and support us,” said Nelson. “Most people think that the Festival can support itself, but this simply isn’t true. And to see committed sponsors, who year after year, dig deep and come up with support for our Festival is quite gratifying.

“It’s also true that the revenue raised by the Festival helps to support the Chamber’s activities and programs throughout the year. The commitment displayed by our sponsors ensures that the Chamber is here to promote and recruit business to our community, and to offer quality family events like the festival.”

While some Gold Level sponsors such as Archdale-Trinity News, Archdale Drug, Aldridge Properties, Costa & Grissom Machinery Inc., Drs. Macdonald & Whaley and Sheetz make financial contributions, others gain the recognition because of the extensive role they play in logistics. The City of Archdale, Archdale Friends Meeting, Beco Inc., Clark Sign Corp., MartyDesigns.com and SSG/Brandintense Inc. provide services which contribute to the quality of the event.

Contributions and volunteer hours from Allred & Co. Realtors powers the Big Wheel race, Crumley Roberts LLC and Randolph County SafeKids makes the bike rodeo hap-

pen and the Archdale Bass Club offers CastingKids. Bounces to Go/Fun Functions, McDonald’s and Archdale-Trinity Pediatrics provide the resources for the children’s area.

A list of all the sponsors is included on page 13. Sponsors also have signage at their businesses.

Community support led to an expansion of the Festival, which has come to include a Friday night event. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Bush Hill Bash will be held on Bonnie Place and W. White Drive on Friday. The Archdale-Trinity Merchants Alliance will sponsor the entertainment and Heart of NC Visitors Bureau is the general sponsor for Friday’s activities.

The Merchants Alliance made the commitment to sponsor the entertainment because they want to give back to their customers who make their businesses successful.

“It’s a way of saying thank-you and reinforcing that we’re a part of this community,” said Merchant Alliance co-chairs Missy Pendry of PB&J and Stan Reid of Archdale Bakery.

For the fifth year, the Archdale-Trinity News serves as the signature sponsor of the Festival. Since the founding of the festival, the NEWS has stepped up with promotion and volunteers hours, said editor Kathy Stuart, who serves on the Festival Committee.

“The festival has grown, but still retains the ‘hometown’ feel that festivalgoers enjoy,” Stuart said. “That’s our philosophy here at the NEWS — to promote our hometown through youth sports, features and local government news.

“Like the festival, the NEWS relies on community support and wishes to say thank you to its contributing writers and its subscribers.”

The NEWS booth will be on Bonnie Place, near N.C. 62. About 250 free newspapers will be distributed.
