Truck drivers rail against Trinity ordinance T

ruck drivers living in Trinity turned out en masse to protest a zoning ordinance, adopted in August, that regulates where trucks and freight trailers may park. While their exact words varied, all agreed that they had the right to park their trucks on their own property — and that City Council needed to ‘grandfather people in.’

BY ROBYN HANKINS “This law is an undue burden on citizens, and you need to rescind it or grandfather people in,” Gerald Wong told Council at the Sept. 15 meeting. “I’ve tried to appease my neighbors by parking elsewhere, but I keep getting forced out. Right now I’ve found a place, but it’s costing me $30 a month and all my stuff — my cargo, computer, scanner and other electronics — are at the mercy of vandalism (and so is) my personal car when I’m on the road for two

to three weeks.”

Wong and others spoke during the public comments portion of the meeting. At each City Council meeting, citizens have three minutes to speak about any topic not on the evening’s agenda.

The ordinance regulating where trucks and freight trailers can park has exceptions, but no grandfather clause, said Joe Rainey, city planner and code enforcement officer.

“There’s no grandfathering, it went into effect as soon as it was passed,” he told the NEWS. According to the ordinance, trucks and freight trailers that are 80 inches or more wide and have a combined length of 30 or more feet are prohibited from parking in any residential zoning district.

Moving vehicles and emergency responders are exempted, as are lawn service or home repair trucks as long as they are servicing a nearby home or property.

There is one more exception. Truck and freight trailers can park in the residentialagricultural zoning district if the vehicle

No one had spoken against the ordinance during the public hearing at the Aug. 18 meeting, when it was adopted by Council.

Several truck drivers present at the Sept. 15 meeting told Council that they found out about the ordinance only after reading newspaper articles written after it was passed.

Ed Lohr, a truck driver who attended

the meeting, told the NEWS he never saw the ordinance advertised in the newspaper ahead of time.

“We looked back in the papers to see where it was advertised ahead of time, and couldn’t find it,” Lohr explained. “I feel like my rights are being violated. You try to be a good citizen ... I was born here, and none of neighbors mind.”

State to take money from Archdale budget D

espite the tax increase on beer and wine at the beginning of this month, the city of Archdale expects to get much less of those taxes than in previous years.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS

That’s a big tater!

Bill Farlow of Archdale got several big ones when he harvested his potatoes Sept.

14, but he was amazed to uncover this 4 1⁄2 pound monster. Most crop potatoes are 4 to 8 ounces. Farlow, who has been a farmer all his life, said this is the largest he has ever grown. His Biscuitville breakfast buddies admired the potato and suggested that he share it with the NEWS’ readers.

The League of Municipalities warned the city to expect only about one-third of their usual distribution from alcohol sales, Archdale Finance Director Lori Nurse told the NEWS. City Council approved a budget amendment at their August meeting to reduce revenue from beer and wine taxes from $44,500 to just $14,500.

“It sure does seem like the state just loves to take our money,” said Councilman Eddie Causey.

To balance the city’s budget, playground equipment and maintenance items were postponed.

Excise taxes on beer rose from 53.17 cents to 61.71 cents per gallon and excise taxes on unfortified wine rose from 21 cents to 26.34 cents per liter.

Income from alcohol taxes is collected by the state, which keeps more than two-thirds of it for the general

The Bulldog defense is hot on the Comets’ tail.

Special to the Archdale-Trinity News

The Bulldogs, who have beaten their Guilford County neighbor four out of the last five years, are aching for another win, particularly after their disappointing 20-15 loss Sept. 18 to the Asheboro Blue Comets.

The kickoff last week

opened under damp conditions as the fog settled in at the ’Dog Pit, but the Asheboro Blue Comets had no problem burning a trail past the Bulldogs.

Dmitri Faglier put the visiting team on the board early in the first quarter after a 68-yard drive that end-

ed with a 1-yard touchdown run. The Comets found the end zone again just four minutes later. The conversion attempt was good and the ’Dogs were down 14-0.

Then the ’Dogs bit back.

Two minutes into the second quarter, Rhyne Kivett spiraled a 12-yard pass to

‘Public hearing’ falls short on notification

N

EWS staff member Betsy Feldman braved the afternoon traffic at Archdale Elementary School to ask drivers these questions: Do you plan to attend tonight’s meeting about school district reorganization? How did you hear about it?

The question was after notification by Randolph County Schools that a “public hearing” would be held Sept. 10 at Trinity High School about a proposal to redistrict grades kindergarten through eight in the Archdale-Trinity attendance area.

Eleven people were polled by the NEWS: four said they had been informed by Connect Lynn Wagner Advertising Director Ed, the school’s telephone messaging system; 888-3545 Elizabeth Hyde Advertising Manager three said they had not been informed; one could not speak English; and three others did 888-3567 not answer the question.

Donna Prawel Ad Sales 888-3596 Periodically, the NEWS had checked the dprawel@hpe.com Randolph County Schools Web site to see if the date had been posted. It was not, even though 3407B Archdale Road the date had been made privy to school adminArchdale, NC 27263 istrators in the spring.

That’s a shame. Those affected by reorganization deserve more notice.

Randolph County Schools itself called the meeting a “public hearing,” however notice fell far short of the legal standard.

Of the 120 who attended the forum, half were employed in the educational system.

the noneducators was high.

While I protest the lack of notification of the general public, I applaud the effort to bring additional options to the table. Two Board of Education members – Becky Coltrane and Gary Cook – attended the meeting held at Archdale Elementary. They listened when parents said “show us other options.”

Here are the options, as outlined by Debbie Hightower in last week’s edition of the NEWS. All the options include the use of existing facilities.

• Convert Archdale Elementary School into a sixth grade school, and pair it with seventh and eighth grades at Braxton Craven to create a feeder for Trinity High School.

• Add a sixth grade to all of the elementary schools.

• Convert Trindale Elementary School into a sixth grade school.

• Convert Trindale into a sixth through eighth grade school.

• Reconfigure Braxton Craven and Archdale-Trinity Middle School to house sixth through eighth grades.

• Leave the system as is.

Because all the options include some level of overcrowding or reassignment of students, I’m not convinced that two feeder systems — one for Trinity and the other for Wheatmore — are needed.

Academically, students in the ArchdaleTrinity attendance area perform well. Speculation has run high that the effort to design two middle school systems is based on athletics.

If that is the case, then two people at the Sept. 10 public hearing made strong points.

“It seems like it may not be the best decision to spend money to change schools that are performing in the way that we want them

moratorium.”

Other comments focused on safety issues.

Darrell Johnson said truckers should be able to park their trucks at home, but felt that keeping them off the streets would promote better safety.

“I’ve got no problem with people parking trucks in driveways, but I do not like them on the road, it’s dangerous,” firefighter Lee Wolfe noted.

However, a few people present did have a problem with truck drivers parking at their homes.

Cheryl Barker attempted to play a recording of a conversation with her neighbor, Creech, that she claims is just one instance of him harassing her family when they complained about his truck.

Mayor Fran Andrews asked her to stop playing the recording because no one could understand it.

Barker’s husband, James Barker, then told Council, “It’s just a nuisance. I have nothing against truck drivers. Just be respectful of neighbors.”

Chester Ayres was also in favor of keeping the ordinance as is.

“This ordinance was passed and the time has come for it,” he opined. “If it’s a residential area, that’s what it is. Truck drivers, don’t take it personal, we just need to take the billboards out of neighborhoods.”

Lohr, however, just shook his head.

“I’ve lived in my house for over 35 years, and I’ve driven a truck since 1971,” Lohr recalled. “I fought in Vietnam and came home with a purple heart. What did I fight for?”

Council took no action, nor did they make any comments.

to perform,” said Mark Hyder, a parent and Randolph County Schools teacher.

He’s right. Our schools are performing well, a point that the Board of Education and this community should take pride in, especially when you consider Randolph’s level of funding for its schools.

Greg Allen, a parent and teacher, had another point: “I think that we should take any funding that it would take to reconfigure these schools and put it toward a new middle school.”

Sometimes there’s a wisdom in waiting.

With a slow economy, school populations may not increase the way school administrators project. With an economy that some say is rebounding, school populations may increase more than projected.

“We won’t do anything next week or next year,” Andrews said at the hearing.

“There’s too much of a transition being made.” Andrews was referring to the opening of Wheatmore High School Sept. 14.

That puts the reorganization in the 2011-12 school year.

Planning assures student achievement and fiscal solvency and I believe that’s what the Board of Education is doing. But I agree with Hyder and Allen — save the money.

Other drivers also agreed with Wong that they had the right to park on their own property.

“My husband drives a truck, why can’t he park his truck on his property?” questioned Susan Hicks. “This ordinance does not pay attention to the people who make their living with trucks.”

Hicks was not the only wife to speak on behalf of her husband. Lucy Rush was there representing her absent husband, and asked Council to reconsider the ordinance.

“My husband is a professional truck driver and he parks across the street from our house, two feet off the road,” Rush explained. “He does not idle, he does not make noise. We have talked to our neighbors and they do not mind. We wish you would reconsider.”

“Why is the city limiting how taxpayers make money?” asked Arthur Gilbert. “America moves by trucks, vans and RVs. I hope the city will rescind this ordinance.”

Others were far more direct.

“I think we ought to be grandfathered in because I don’t have the money to buy property elsewhere,” Mike Cox said vehemently. “It’s not fair to tell us we can’t park on our own property.”

“I’ve been truckin’ since 1964, and the only way I can survive is to work on my truck at my house,” agreed Bill Burge.

“Just because I’m a truck driver does not mean I’m uneducated,” declared James Creech, a former banker with J.P. Morgan. “There’s nothing in the community covenants that forbids my truck, which is not longer than 30 feet but is wider than 80 inches. How does that fit (the ordinance)?”

Creech also told Council that he had “retained counsel” and been advised to “request a

Srishord darted around the left side and past the goal posts to bring the score to 14-12 by halftime.

The home team took the lead only once late in the third quarter when Ron Griffin kicked a 36-yard field goal.

On the Bulldog’s next possession, with 9:28 left to play, Kivett’s pass to Mario McInnis was intercepted by Blue Comet Nick Chavis who returned it for a 73-yard touchdown run.

“That was the play of the game that killed us,” said THS Coach Alex Mebane. “We had everything under con-

“I wish I could call that play back.”

Faglier, who averages more than 200 rushing yards per game, was held to just 99 yards Friday night by the ’Dogs defense.

Finally, after six minutes into the second half, Wheatmore completed a first down and was 18 yards away from scoring their first touchdown of game. However, the ball was fumbled and went to East Davidson.

Panthers play well against Randleman W eek No. 2 for the Archdale-Trinity Panthers, a youth football program of traveling teams, was spent at Randleman High School.

BY TOM MCGEE Archdale-Trinity Panthers

The Randleman Parks and Recreation team has been in existence for a long time and it showed. The teams are well coached and have a lot of players, cheerleaders and fans.

Assistant Coach Austin Reddick summed it up, “When you travel, you don’t have to travel very far to find quality football coaches or players these days.� Reddick, who graduated from Trinity High School just last year, was a starter for all 10 years he played and is now giving back to the sport and the community, coaching the junior varsity team.

Flag division The Panthers played hard, but came up short on the scoreboard 26-7. Garrett Meadows scored the touchdown on a nice run.

Jaxon Kimmons and Christian Long led the Panthers’ defense. Jamey Johnson and Mason Bunting also played well on defense with several nice stops.

Registration is open for the flag football program of the Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity. Flag football includes two groups, ages 4-6 and 7-9. All games and practices will be held at the Bill Aldridge fields in Archdale. This league will start following the baseball and soccer seasons. The fee is $35 for ages 4-6 and $45 for ages 7-9.

The cost is $200 per team.

Play will begin Oct. 1.

For more information, call 431-1117.

Junior varsity The game ended 7-6 with the Panthers falling short by 1 point. On Randleman’s first play from scrimmage, Malik Brady broke free for a 40-yard run before he was pushed out of bounds by several Panthers close to the goal line. The Panthers’ defense stiffened but the Tigers’ Christian Massey scored from two yards out on fourth down.

Brady added the extra point which would eventually be

the winning point.

The Panthers played very good defense the rest of the day, as the Tigers had averaged close to 30 points a game. Blake Reddick, Steven Mor, Zachary Guilkerson and Drew Davis led the Panther defense.

The Panthers gained twice as many yards as the Tigers and more first downs, but the Panthers’ three turnovers inside the Tigers 30yard line were the difference. Tanner McGee scored the Panthers’ only touchdown. Tanner and MacAllister Ingram combined for 98 yards rushing.

Assistant Coach Mark Reddick, Austin and Blake’s dad, said, “We lost one of our better players from injury on our first possession and we missed him. Jake Grantham went down with a bruised knee. He is fine, but we just never got momentum going. Our defense ... played very well against a strong offensive team. Our team will respond. These kids work hard and are determined to be in the playoffs this year.�

Varsity The Panthers won 33-6.

Kaegan Westfall started the scoring on a 31-yard scamper on the opening drive of the game. Jared Barnes added the PAT. The Panthers’ second score came on a

tough 5-yard run by Jared.

Randleman answered with a touchdown of their own, and their last, with a tipped pass going for 65 yards. The Panthers gained two more touchdowns, one

by Hunter Sheets on a 7-yard run and Hunter’s pass to Andrew Rowley. Kaegan Westfall kicked an extra point to bring the halftime score to 27-6. Jared Barnes scored the game’s final touchdown on a 22-yard reverse. The Panthers had 254 yards of offense on 26 plays.

Paxton Watts led the Panthers with 10 tackles (four for loss). Hunter sheets, Aaron Tiller, Jordan Jones and Larry Murvinn each added four tackles to hold Randleman to just 85 yards of offense.

Head Coach Kevin Flenniken said, “We are real proud of how our team is working and coming together, these kids want to accomplish something big this year and it shows in their work habits. It is a fun group to coach.�

Next week the Panthers take on a team from South Davidson at Trinity High School. The flag team plays at 10 a.m., rookies at 11 a.m. and varsity at 12:30 p.m. The junior varsity team is not scheduled to play.

Reverse rafe Oct. 3 to beneďŹ t THS sports The Trinity High School Booster Club will hold a reverse raffle and silent auction at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Hillsville Community Center, 10471 Archdale Road.

Randleman and the Panthers played well, but the Panthers won 13-7 and stand 2-0 in the season. Randleman scored on its first possession. Panther Jackson Powell scored a touchdown on a tough run, then Blake Sheets scored on a great run. Both players rushed for more than 70 yards. Austin Biggs scored an extra point.

The outcome was decided by defense. Cameron Kinley came up with a fumble recovery that changed the direction of the game.

Jordan Gillispie, Conner Stanley, Jackson Powell, David Braswell and Joey Stevens all had great games on defense. Coach Brian Biggs said, “This was really a team victory. Our guys have been working hard and today it paid off as they beat a very good team.�

Trinity High School’s PTSO and two restaurants have joined forces to raise money for school improvements.

Self-control

“Capturing the Moments of a Lifetime� alsphotography@triad.rr.com www.alsphotographyonline.com

Self-control is the ďŹ nal virtue which Paul lists as the fruit of the Spirit in Galations 5:2223. Self-control is a translation of the Greek word “egkratiaâ€? and may also be rendered as temperance. This virtue is exempliďŹ ed by the person who has mastered their passions and appetites. The Greeks also had a word for the vice of lacking self-control, i.e., “akrasia,â€? which referred to the phenomenon of knowing the right thing to do but failing to do it. This lack of self-control is something with which all of us struggle, often to our own detriment.

Proverbs 25:28 warns us that “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.â€? And, St. James tells us that our religion is worthless if we cannot control our tongues: “If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is in vain.â€? (James 1:26) But of course, taming the tongue is more difďŹ cult than taming a wild beast. Socrates said that the appetitive part of our soul, the part of our self concerned with our appetites and passions, was like an unruly steed which needed to be reined in by reason. But sadly, reason is too weak in most of us to rein in the passions, and therefore, we need divine assistance. Where the esh is weak, and reason is willing and able to follow the esh, we must rely on the Spirit to guide us. In the ďŹ nal analysis, we cannot rely solely on our own devices to be self-controlled, but must seek the assistance of God.

Meet your neighbor ...

Rachel Davis Photo by Debbie Hightower

‘Small things can make a big difference’ S

ix-year-old Rachel Davis has a strong compassion for animals, so much that a dying dog on the side of the road led to a strong commitment to help animals in need.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

Photos submitted

“The dog had been hit, injured by a car,” said Gretchen Davis, Rachel’s mother.

“We called the shelter people, and they came out and got the dog,” said Rachel. “They take the animals, and do surgery on them and make them better.”

The “shelter people” is Cozy Acres Outreach and Adoption Center in Greensboro, operated by SPCA of the Triad Inc. Rachel, a student at Trindale Elementary School, loves animals. The experience led to a eureka moment in the middle of the night.

“She woke me up at 2:30 a.m. saying that she was going to save the animals,” said Gretchen. Rachel’s idea was to raise money to benefit the SPCA, so that they could continue their work to heal animals and place them in good homes. She went straight to work.

First, she decorated a can with a plastic lid to collect donations for Cozy Acres.

They went to the place of employment of her father, Johnny Davis, and her grandmother, and to Lori Wishon’s beauty shop, Shear Perfections in Archdale, where Rachel solicited donations.

“She was able to raise $127.06 in one day,” said Gretchen.

Gretchen, Rachel and her younger sister Jessica, 3, took the donations to the facility and toured the site.

Volunteers at the shelter take excellent care of the animals, Rachel said.

Some even come to the facility to “strut the mutt” (take the animals for walks).

Rachel learned about surgeries, including spay and neuter, which prevents dogs and cats from having too many puppies and kittens.

Brenda Overman, president of the SPCA of the Triad Inc., sent Rachel a thank-you letter. Adoption will never completely solve the problem of stray animals, wrote Overman. Spay and neuter does the most good. The letter speci-

fied that the money would be used for spay or neuter surgery for two dogs and one cat.

Rachel and her mother made a scrapbook with the photos of their visit to Cozy Acres. Rachel presented the scrapbook to her Daisy Troop 096 and received an award for her fundraising project.

Holding her collection can, Rachel said, “I need to get some more money for the shelter, so that the animals there will have enough food and blankets and a place to live.”

She would like to take a wildlife rescue course, so that she can help wild animals as well. She may become a veterinarian, so that she can be the one who does surgery on animals to make them better and save their lives.

Rachel made another “Pennies for Pets” donation can, which she placed at Shear Perfections.

Donations for the SPCA may also be mailed to SPCA of the Triad, Inc., Attention Brenda Overman, P.O. Box 4461, Greensboro, NC 27404.

In her letter Overman told Rachel, “You and your sister will be the future that will be empowered to look after our animal friends in the years to come.

You are to be commended for taking such a passionate stand at such a young age.”

“I’m small, but small things can make a big difference,” said Rachel.

Eigh th a nnual NASQUACK O c t . 2 4

T

he 8th annual Success By 6® Duck Race – better known as NASQUACK – will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, in conjunction with t h e 20th Annual NASCAR Day Festival.

NASQUACK is held by the Randolph County Partnership for Children’s Success By 6® Randleman local advisory committee.

This year’s event again promises the excitement of 3,000 colorful racing ducks competing for glory on the picturesque Deep River. The event takes place at the Deep River Nature Trail, north of downtown Randleman on Presnell Street. Launch time is 4 p.m.

Ducks can be purchased on the day of the event from

9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Success By 6® and Randolph County Partnership for Children booth on Main Street, at the intersection of Naomi and Main streets.

Advance ticket purchase is available at the Randleman Chamber of Commerce, Randleman Enrichment Center, Main Street Steakhouse, the Randleman branches of CommunityOne, Security Savings and Randolph Bank and Trust, Randleman and Level Cross Elementary schools and at the Partnership office at 349 Sunset Ave. in Asheboro.

The price is $2 a duck or three for $5. The person who holds the ticket which matches the number of the first duck to cross the finish line will receive the $1,000 grand prize. Second place is $500 and third place is $250.

Rhonda Brown of Randolph Bank in Randleman

serves as this year’s chairperson.

“We are really happy with the support we have received from the business community so far,” Brown said. “All proceeds from the race will be used to support programs for young children in the Randleman area.”

Programs supported by the event include prekindergarten programs at the Randleman Enrichment Center, Level Cross elementary schools, Jumpstart and a full-time Parents As Teachers coordinator.

For more information about NASQUACK, contact the Partnership for Children at 629-2128. The Randolph County Partnership for Children, a nonprofit organization, is the community’s lead organization to plan, identify and fund programs and services for young children and their families.

OfďŹ cer followed procedure in dog shooting, says Chief P

rotocol was followed in the shooting of a dog which had allegedly charged at a neighbor, said Archdale Chief of Police Darrell Gibbs. Family of the dog owner believes the shooting was unnecessary.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

At 7:10 p.m. Sept. 16, Officer Anthony Cugino of the Archdale Police Department responded to the call at 117 Winchester Court. A neighbor told police that while outside, the dog had charged him in an aggressive manner.

The neighbor said that he had a similar encounter with the same dog earlier in the week.

According to a police report, when Cugino approached the neighbor’s residence to knock on the door, the dog, a 21 2-year old brown pit bull-chow mix, about 80 pounds, came up to him from behind, growled and charged in an aggressive manner. In fear that the animal would attack, Cugino fired a shot and killed the dog. The dog was within a few feet of the officer when shot.

The family does not believe that shooting the dog was necessary.

“I think he handled it very poorly,� said Larry Davidson about the officer. Davidson is the father of Jay Davidson, dog owner and Winchester Court resident.

At the time of the shooting, Jay Davidson was on his way to purchase a new restraint system because the dog had escaped. “I think he over-reacted, acted too quickly in a split second,� Larry Davidson added. “If he (the officer) had waited five seconds, he would have seen that the dog was not going to harm him.�

Gibbs believes protocol was followed in the shooting, but nevertheless the incident is being checked by internal affairs. “This is standard procedure which occurs each time a weapon is fired,� said Gibbs. “Any time a weapon is fired, we do this investigation.�

Gibbs also added that whenever a citizen complains that procedure was not followed, the department reviews its policy and state law to ensure that everything was done properly.

Jay Davidson was issued a citation for allowing a dog to run at large.

Police reports HOME DAMAGED A resident of the 100 block of English Court reported Sept. 16 that someone used a BB gun to shoot the window in his master bedroom. Damage was set at $300.

FRAUD An Archdale resident reported Sept. 15 that someone used her debit card number to make Internet purchases of $246.70.

WRECK Israel Alfonso Regueyra, 56, of 717 Gaines Ave., High Point, was pedaling north in the southbound lane on Main Street on his bicycle when he was hit by a 2001 Honda driven by Sharon Canada Hinkle.

Hinkle, 43, of 3501 Glendale Drive, was making a right turn onto Main Street from W. White Drive and did not see the bicycle, police said. No injuries were reported and no charges were listed on the report.

Damage to the bicycle was set at $20 and the Honda, $500.

CHARGES FILED Brian Jordan Taylor, 18, of 3008 Archdale Road, was charged Sept. 13 with driving while impaired and provisional licensee violation.

Manuel Figueroa Hernandez, 26, of 4 Forest Brook Drive, Asheboro, was charged Sept. 13 with possession of marijuana.

Stanley Gene Burns, 44, of 2208

Brookwood Circle, was charged Sept.

12 with driving while impaired.

Raymundo Rodriguez Saldana, 37, was charged by citation Sept. 11 with having an open container of alcohol in vehicle.

The city of Archdale and the Community Appearance Commission invite everyone out to enjoy the fall weather and keep the city beautiful during their semiannual Litter Sweep. Volunteers should meet at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Archdale, where earlybirds will be treated to coffee and biscuits.

Groups will depart at 8 a.m. from McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to pick up litter in different areas of the city. Safety vests and gloves will be provided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community spirit type of event, which is good to do in a difficult economic time,â&#x20AC;? said Zeb Holden of Archdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Department.

Volunteers enjoy the camaraderie of working together, as well as a friendly competition to find the weirdest items. N.C. Department of Transportation, who coordinates the Litter Sweep campaign statewide, offers a reward for the most unusual find.

About 42 people helped with the event last spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were thankful that so many people turned out and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly looking to grow the event,â&#x20AC;? Holden said. He would like to see more groups get involved, such as churches and scouts.

Commission members say that a cleaner Archdale benefits residents in many ways. Not only is litter unsightly, it also disrupts wildlife habitats and contributes to flooding and poor drinking water quality.

Civic and other groups who would like to participate, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it Sept. 26, can coordinate their own litter pick-up day.

For more information or to get supplies, visit City Hall on Balfour Drive, call 431-9141, ext. 233, or e-mail zholden@archdale-nc.gov.

The Adopt-A-Street program offers businesses free advertising on a city street for regular participation.

ersey Valley Spookywoods, voted the top sixth haunted scream park in America

by Haunt World Magazine 2009, is about to finish a year-long building phase.

The effort has created one of America’s largest Halloween events, said Tony Wohlgemuth, president of Kersey Valley Inc. Spookywoods opens Thursday, Sept. 24.

Behind the “pure horror and fun” is a business which benefits the community with tourism and jobs.

“Our Halloween event boosts the local economy with hotel reservations, restaurants and gas stations from patrons who make the traditional yearly trip from not only the southeast region but from around the world,” said Wohlgemuth.

“The last time Spookywoods was featured on national TV we had to post directions from PTI for all the out-of-state visitors.”

Three businesses operate from the Kersey Valley Road location: Spookywoods, Maize Adventure and Kersey Valley Christmas.

Kersey Valley employs more than 240 people to operate Spookywoods and the Maize Adventure each season.

At the heart of the business is one big desire — to have fun. In these tough economic times finding an escape from the everyday stresses can benefit one’s well being, said Wohlgemuth.

Kersey Valley Spookywoods will be featured on national TV on the Travel channel. Filming at Spookywoods will be Saturday.
