Council again took up the idea of providing curbside trash and recycling in August. City Manager Ann Bailie said at the time the city had received calls from many residents who wanted the service and were frustrated that Council voted it down in April 2009.

Randolph schools save for a ‘rainy day’

Trinity’s car show and chili cook-off ‘bigger than ever’

T

he Randolph County Board of Education will spend $748,500 of federal funds for technology and remediation and save the remaining $3 million for a ‘rainy day.’

Randolph County Schools will receive a projected $3.7 million in federal funding slated for educational jobs. The money will officially go toward teacher salaries, which frees other money.

The Board approved the 2010-2011 spending plan at the Sept. 20 meeting. Technology and supporting positions accounted for $683,500. Remediation was designated at $75,000.

Nan York, director of media and technology, spoke in support of spending money on technology. The replacement of old computers would save money in the long run, reduce energy costs, replacement parts and upgrades.

Board Chairman Matthew Lambeth supported the $125,000 for the purchase Chris Tuft of 50 SMART Boards and $91,500 for technology trainers at each school. He added that some teachers have had a SMART board in their classroom for two years and don’t know how to use it.

The Board decided to hold off on the purchase of 50 additional SMART boards, and more technology, pending notification that they could be installed in a timely manner.

Other people in attendance at the Sept. 20 meeting would rather see the money used to add jobs.

Chris Tuft, of the Randolph County Association of Educators, urged the Board to re-establish the teacher and teacher assistant positions that have been downsized in the past two years instead of adding technology.

“The best teachers know that a good teacher will make learning happen with a rock and a stick,” he said.

Friends of Trinity will hold their fourth annual “Feel the Thunder and Taste the Heat” car show and chili cook-off from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, at Braxton Craven School, 7037 N.C. Hwy. 62 in Trinity.

Friends of Trinity is a civic organization devoted to enriching the lives of Trinity citizens. According to Connor, the car show and chili cook-off is their major fundraiser, and allows them to sponsor other events such as General Hardee’s Retreat, a Civil War re-enactment that was held in April.

They also put up the American flags that line N.C. 62. Connor said about 45 flags are missing this year and will need to be replaced.

The car show and chili cook-off will include vendors, cars, barbecue, biscuits, desserts and, of course, chili. The Trinity High School JROTC Color Guard will present the colors during the opening ceremonies at 9 a.m. and the Archdale-Trinity Community Band will perform about 9:30 a.m.

Registration for the car show will begin at 7 a.m.

Trophies will be presented for Best in Show, Mayor’s Choice, Beal Racing Choice and Most Original.

First, second and third place awards will be presented in multiple categories. The categories are listed at www.friendsoftrinity.com.

In the chili cook-off, the Chili King or Queen will receive $200; first place winner, $50; and second place winner, $25.

The cost to enter the car show or chill cook-off is $15. Registration will be $20 the day of the event.

Vendor spaces are $15. For vendor information, call 476-6498, 434-4993 or 472-8207.

t’s getting bigger every year,’ said Curtis Connor, president of Friends of Trinity. ‘More and more chili cookers are coming. It’s really putting Trinity on the map.’

“It’s a good time for the whole family to come out,” added Connor. “The event is open to the public and everything is free; the only thing people pay for is the food.

Come out and look at these beautiful cars.”

Ride to benefit veterans’ memorial A motorcycle ride on Oct. 16 will benefit construction of a veterans’ memorial, a project of the Trinity Historic Preservation Society.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. at Braxton Craven School.

The ride will be coordinated by Kim Cates of Domino’s Pizza in Hillsville and Frank Crotts of the Guil-Rand Fire Department. The cost is $20 per bike.

Trinity Historic Preservation Society will build a veterans’ memorial at the museum site on N.C. 62.

For more information, contact Fran Andrews at 431-9456 or Frank Crotts at 431-2512.

Friends of Trinity will hold a veterans’ appreciation cookout Saturday, Nov. 6. It is tentatively scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the grassy area at City Hall.

GRYSA Rage captures first win

Cougars outplay Warriors T

Photo submitted

Ryan Smith’s goal with just minutes remaining capped a furious comeback to give the Guil-Rand Youth Soccer’s Rage 10-and-under boys’ soccer team its first win of the season, a 4-3 victory over North Davidson.

The Rage turned in a dismal first half and fell behind 2-0 at the break. But minutes into the second half, the Rage tied the score with goals from Kevin Dominguez and Ryan Smith. After North Davidson regained the lead at 3-2, Evan Somero knotted the score at 3 with his first goal of the season. Both teams battled to break the deadlock, but Ryan Smith and Rage teammate Jack McCroskey combined to turn away several attempts by North Davidson before the late goal sealed the victory for the Rage.

Jake Clodfelter and Omar Castrellon combined for more than 10 saves in goal for the Rage. The team improved to 1-2-1 in their inaugural season. On Saturday, the Rage travels to face Greensboro’s Cosmos.

he Wheatmore Warriors have a night off this Friday in preparation for conference play. Last week the Warriors had a tough game at Southwestern Randolph.

BY CONNOR HARRIS WHS correspondent

In the first quarter with about two minutes to go, Southwestern’s No. 7 made a 31-yard pass to No. 10, who ran in for the touchdown and a score of 7-0. The Cougars made three more touchdowns in the second quarter to bring the score at the half to 27-0.

In the third, Southwestern scored two more touchdowns and a field goal to bring the score to 43-0. Midway through the fourth, the Cougars got one more touchdown, bringing the final tally to 50-0.

Warrior runningback Josh Rickert had a big performance with 109 yards rushing and Garrett Rains was effective in passing in this game.

“Southwestern Randolph played an outstanding game,” said Wheatmore Head Coach Eugene Everhart.

“We were outplayed in every phase of the game. We must regroup in our off-week and get ready for conference play.”

The Wheatmore Warriors will open conference play against Carver Friday, Oct. 8, at home.

Storm darkens day for Bulldogs

T

rinity High School’s varsity football team gets a reprieve this week from a dismal 0-6 season start, which included a loss to Southern Guilford last Friday at the ’Dog Pit. STAFF REPORTS

The Storm scored early in the game, leading 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Bulldogs sank their teeth into the ball for nine plays to work down the field until Rhyne Kivett passed to Nathan Willett for a touchdown.

But the Storm rained on the Bulldogs with five consecutive scores and, with two interceptions, wouldn’t let the ’Dogs get back on their feet.

Kivett did earn another score on a quarterback-keeper in the third quarter. Southern Guilford scored again in the fourth for a final tally of 63-15.

The Bulldogs will take a break this week before facing the Randleman Tigers at an away game Friday, Oct. 8.

WHS tourney Oct. 15

From ‘slimy’ to successful S

aturday Sept. 25, members of the Archdale and Shamrock bass clubs partnered with other fishermen and clubs in the area to participate in the Third Annual Benjamin Moye Classic.

This tournament is promoted by friends of Green Street Baptist Church in High Point and their generous sponsors to provide a day of witness, food, fishing and fun on High Rock Lake for youngsters from the Baptist Children’s Home in Thomasville — many of whom had never been fishing at all.

Tamarac Marina hosted the event.

Contestants and boat captains of the 40 teams received a bright florescent yellow shirt designating them as participants. They fished for multiple species in total number of fish, total weight and biggest fish categories.

All contestants received a medal to commemorate their competition in addition to the top category prizes of gift cards from local businesses for the kids to use as they wish. But all of the prizes paled in the glow of warm hearts and huge smiles of everyone there.

Top weight went to a team with over 50 pounds of catfish, including the largest fish of the tournament at over 11 pounds. The string of fish was longer than the young person in the boat was tall.

I was matched with a young lady named Tenosha and her adult counselor, Mike Roberson. Mike was pretty handy with a rod and reel, as he demonstrated later, but Tenosha had never been fishing.

She was pretty clear from the beginning she had little interest in it at all. Slimy worms and bug-eyed fish seemed a bit more than she wanted to handle.

The morning started slow but, within an hour, she was lifting fish

over the gunwale like a pro. With each new species of fish she caught, including her first largemouth bass, her interest grew a little more. By the end of the day, she had learned not only how long the bait should sit unnoticed by a fish but exactly at which pier and which pole on a pier the concentrations of fish should be located.

The investment in a little interest netted her third place in the contest for total fish caught and she actually caught all but five of the fish boated.

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work with young people in many positive ways, but this was one of the more rewarding of my lifetime.

These children live their lives almost entirely on the generosity of others and little more than hope. For one day, it was about them and their enjoyment.

There was no question they enjoyed it. They were doing something where rewards are immediate and the result, although a little slimy, were tangible.

What I saw at the individual level was a young person who got in my

Bill Frazier Archdale Bass Club boat without any interest or enthusiasm leave with a sense of great accomplishment and happiness, along with a winner’s award and a new ability to see what she could achieve.

We hope you’ll take some time to relish your families and friendships, but also to reach out into your neighborhoods and communities for opportunities like this to make a difference.

That is the special part of who we are and what makes this community one of the best in North Carolina.

And, as always, we hope to see you on the water.

Meet Toni Ruth, pastor at Hopewell United Methodist Church in Trinity, and Ivey, a nine year-old student with whom Toni Ruth is matched through Communities In Schools of Randolph County. Together since Ivey was in kindergarten, this will be their ďŹ fth year together, and they love spending time together! Once a week, they meet in the library at Ivey’s school, where they read, do math, and play games. Toni Ruth says about half the time is spent on academics, and about half on fun activities. And largely as a result of Toni Ruth’s time and encouragement, Ivey has come to really enjoy reading --- especially biographies. (She says her favorite this summer was one about Amelia Earhart.) Toni Ruth says she decided to become a CIS volunteer because she saw it as “an easy way to make a big impact on my community. Anybody can do this, and I truly see the potential one person can have on another person’s life.

I think everybody should do it!� We do, too. After all, that is what United Way is all about: Reach out a hand to one, and inuence the condition of all. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED!

arlier this year, a number of volunteers from Randolph County, along with delegates from every county in the state, participated in local forums and regional summits as part of ‘Smart Investing: Communities Thrive When Children Thrive.’

The goal of this initiative, funded by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, was to bring together individuals from across the state to answer the question, “What do North Carolinians want for their children?”

After more than 8,000 combined hours of time spent reviewing data and discussing their answers, three top priorities emerged.

Participants concluded all children need to have the following: • Food, shelter and health.

• Access to high quality early care and education.

• Involved and engaged parents and families who are supported through training and educational opportunities.

To ensure that these priorities are addressed in our community, we as parents,

business executives and community leaders must be involved. Because today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, parents, workers and everyone has a stake to make sure all children have the experiences they need to succeed.

A great first step to get involved is to familiarize yourself with the high quality services in our communities and their benefits to young children and their families.

Maybe your child or grandchild has benefitted from a service or early childhood program.

Share your experiences with other parents, business executives and community and elected officials. It is essential that all of these individuals are informed of the benefits of high quality services in order for these programs to continue.

If you have an experience you would like to share, please e-mail your story to pmckee@randolphkids.org.

By investing in our young children now, we can help to ensure that they become successful, productive adults that will greatly benefit society in the future.

ROTC earns 15-year Adopt-A-Highway star A

FJROTC Cadets at Trinity High School and now Wheatmore have participated in Adopt-A-Highway, a volunteer program to keep roads and highways clean, for 15 years to earn special recognition from the N.C. Department of Transportation.

Cadet Col. Garrett Smith (cadet commander) posts the 15-year star.

In the Adopt-A-Highway program, volunteers are assigned a specific stretch of road or highway. At least four times a year, cadets muster early on Saturdays to remove the unsightly litter.

The cadets began this service in March 1995 with 17 participants cleaning roadways near Trinity High School and portions of Surrett Drive.

After a safety briefing, cadets “attack” the area. Cadets are rewarded after each session with brownies and soft drinks provided by Lt. Col. Ray Carter’s wife, Brenda. Cadets also earn service ribbons from Senior Master Sgt. Jim Hedgecock.

The unit recently received a letter from the N.C. Department of Transportation, which congratulated AFJROTC for its 15 years of service.

The unit also received a 15-year star to place on their Adopt-A-Highway signs. During this labor of love, more than 1,337 cadets have met 51 times to complete 2,672 community service hours.

Together, cadets have collected more than 1,541 bags of trash.

Cadets are always awed by what they discover along the roadways. Lt. Col. Carter and

Alas, the tomato season is over E

xcept for a rip-roaring case of poison ivy, I really enjoyed the summer.

My favorite thing about summertime is when I get to enjoy a good ol’ home-grown tomato sandwich. Here is the epic story of my quest to produce that perfect homegrown tomato in my own backyard.

My husband Eddie and I have grown vegetable gardens in a residential setting before. Our Robin’s Nest home featured a backyard with plenty of sun exposure. It wasn’t too difficult for two novices such as ourselves to produce enough tomatoes, squash and zucchini to eat, can and freeze.

Three years ago we relocated to the Westwood subdivision. While our front yard gets plenty of sunshine, you could go on a safari in the backyard. As soon as we arrived, we were challenged to come up with a spot that would produce anything other than weeds.

Last year’s garden attempt produced lush, tall tomato plants that produced about two dozen good-sized tomatoes — which matured in October.

I come from a family of gardeners, all of whom have a natural green thumb, but I suspect that somehow I didn’t end up with that gene. To some, this skill comes naturally, but others must work harder.

Ed and I thought that we would attack the garden’s problems in a proactive way.

Thinking that the red dirt may be a prob-

lem, we ordered a truckload of topsoil. We placed the topsoil garden smack-dab in the middle of the backyard. We addressed the problem of too much shade by lopping off a few tree branches, which opened up the site to several hours of full sun each day.

We grew cucumbers and green beans from seed, but purchased German Johnson and German Queen tomato plants. When I purchased these items, however, I happened to muse about how the cost of seeds and plants would stack up against the cost of fresh vegetables.

Oh well, the flavor of fresh homegrown tomatoes is priceless.

Early on, the garden produced a prolific crop — of rocks. We have done rock removal of the garden patch each year.

Two very large heaps of rocks stand as a testimony. We figured that we must have left two rocks in the garden from last year which met, fell in love and produced a crop of new rocks which pop up to the surface on a daily basis. I realized that this flies in

the face of common sense, but the evidence piled up. Each time I pull weeds I end up throwing out more rocks than I do weeds.

Overall, the garden plants came out well. The runner beans produced enough to eat and extra to save for seed. The green pepper plants gave birth to produce that was actually edible.

Remember the tomato plants?

They were the original goal of the garden. We watered, lopped off more tree branches to bring in additional sunshine and faithfully weeded. At one point I even cheated and began to use Miracle Gro. Keep in mind that I didn’t aspire to produce a truckload crop for market. Just a sandwich or two.

I was thrilled when the backyard tomatoes began to blossom. I was even more pleased when I noticed five of the little yellow blossoms start to develop into tomatoes — one a huge monster which grew to double-fist size. But I was more than a little confused when the developing green tomatoes began to disappear one by one. When the monster tomato disappeared, I debated

Senior Master Sgt. Hedgecock estimate that during these “adventures” more than 400 discarded automobile tires have been collected, in addition to refrigerators and other home appliances.

The significant achievements keep the cadets smiling because they are making a huge difference in their environment and community.

Senior Master Sgt. Hedgecock hopes that such success will show how dedicated teenagers can be with the right influence and direction in their lives.

about pulling the last tomato and bringing it inside to ripen.

It’s still too green, I told myself. Too late — when I checked again two days later, it too had disappeared.

While Ed talked about the installation of a wildlife camera, I fussed and I fumed, but I didn’t give up.

In the last week in July more than a dozen pea-sized tomatoes emerged on the tomato plants. Seventeen of ’em, to be exact.. I was so excited. Little by little, they grew and matured. I kept an eye on them and no more disappeared.

This story has a happy ending. I am pleased to report that we picked our first vine-ripened tomato, and a half-dozen of its little friends on Labor Day! It was expensive and took a lot of work, but my tomato sandwich certainly was tasty.

So, with a tomato-juice toast, we say good-bye to summer and hello to cooler weather.

Ayres asked. “On what basis would we “But you are, you’re dumping in Guil- want to evade our responsibility?”

Former Councilwoman Edith Reddick, while not opposed to curbside trash and recycling, does not believe it should be mandatory.

“When I ran for City Council 11 years ago, I said if you don’t like something you need to come out and talk about it because we don’t know if you don’t tell us,” Reddick recalled. “What I don’t like about trash and recycling is making everyone do it. Some people may be getting raises, but I’m in furniture and we’re not getting raises, we’re getting cuts.”

Reddick also pointed out that senior citizens are not getting raises and have physical limitations. “Who’s gonna haul the senior citizen’s (toter) to the road?” she asked.

Lewis Hall believes that the city has done the best they could.

“I understand that by state and federal law we’re mandated to do recycling, we have no choice, people,” Hall said. “At least we can keep the cost down.”

Trinity resident Clay Poole shared his views.

“I remember about a year ago being in here listening to the same arguments, all the negatives, all the pros,” he said. “I heard the comment that people couldn’t afford it. Well, what I’m trying to figure out is, what are they doing with their garbage if they can’t afford it? Are they hauling it somewhere else to someone else’s dumpster?”

Poole said he stopped putting plastic in his garbage, but it just keeps piling up and he has nowhere to take it.

“Yeah, I think we need recycling,” he told Council. “I think it ought to be done and done. Get it done with and let’s quit talking about it!”

The city’s trash and recycling task force addressed some of these concerns at their meeting Monday, Sept. 27, too late for this edition of the NEWS. The next regular meeting of the Trinity City Council is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19.

ARPKD can also result in extremely underdeveloped lungs in newborns.

The experience instilled in Jodi and Torrey a mission to educate others and to give thanks for a family who stood strong at their side — including Wayne Kellum of Trinity, Jodi’s maternal uncle.

“Our family got us through the toughest days of our lives,” said Jodi from her Cary home.

Wayne witnessed the two-week journey of Torrey, Jodi and Trevor. “It’s amazing the way the family came around to support Jodi and Torrey,” said Wayne, a staff member of Fayetteville Street Christian School in Asheboro. His wife Lynn teaches at Archdale Elementary School.

“If you had seen Trevor without medical equipment, he looked like any newborn baby,” he said.

The disease stumped two hospitals.

Monday, March 9 At first, Trevor bellowed like any healthy newborn. Within an hour after Jodi’s C-section, Trevor went into respiratory distress. Chest tubes flanked his sides and a ventilator pumped oxygen. Doctors said Trevor’s lungs were underdeveloped. They didn’t know why.

As Torrey watched Trevor struggle, his mother-in-law alerted him of the crisis that nearly claimed Jodi’s life. Her labor had been long and her platelets were low, traits they would later learn are connected to ARPKD. “We got Jodi under control and then I’d run back to Trevor,” Torrey said.

Jodi, still foggy from anesthesia and the hemorrhage, was somewhat aware of Trevor’s instability.

Meanwhile, Trevor was being prepared for a transfer to WakeMed hospital, where he could be placed on a jet ventilator. Torrey went with Trevor to WakeMed. Jodi and her mother stayed at Rex Healthcare. The family talked every 20 minutes throughout the night. Trevor’s oxygen levels remained unstable. Doctors still didn’t know why his lungs were so underdeveloped.

Tuesday, March 10 Jodi was transferred to WakeMed about 4 p.m. She had precious few hours with

Trevor because he was life-flighted to Duke University Medical Center at 1 a.m.

His oxygen levels continued to plummet.

Torrey, driving from WakeMed, followed the helicopter on Interstate 40.

Jodi and a family member left Wake Med, against medical advice, and headed for Duke, as did other members of the family.

On the phone, consent was given for Trevor to be placed on an ECMO — a machine that provides cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are severely diseased.

In a stairwell at Duke, Torrey met the doctor who would diagnose ARPKD. However, for that moment, all Dr. Wheldon could say was that Trevor’s kidneys were enlarged, a symptom that had not been recognized before.

“Shortly after our arrival, Dr. Wheldon informed us they suspected (Trevor’s) respiratory issues were related to his swollen kidneys,” Jodi said.

Wednesday, March 11 On the second day of ECMO, Dr. Wheldon presented the diagnosis of ARPKD. That’s when the education of the disease began for the family. Trevor was stable at this point and the doctors hoped the holes in his lungs would begin to heal. Torrey and Jodi researched the disease and asked questions, lots of questions. With so little research of the disease, there were only bits of information, much of it at www.pkdcure.org, the website of the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation. They also relied on other parents who had experienced this with their children.

March 12-16 Trevor remained on the ECMO machine. Good days, bad days. More tests.

More monitoring. Jodi was discharged March 13 but her life remained at Duke.

Doctors and family insisted that Torrey or Jodi go home for a little while, but rest was elusive. One night, Jodi collapsed on the stairs at her home.

“One day we would feel hope, the next devastated,” said Jodi. They tried to establish a routine with a son they could not hold. They read to him, sang to him, played lullabies. They had not yet seen his eyes.

By March 16, they learned that Trevor’s prognosis was poor. The family was given the option of palliative care.

“The doctor said we had to make a decision at this point,” Jodi said.

In what seemed like a surreal world, Jodi all the while thought, “They can fix this. This is Duke.”

March 17-20 Trevor was stepped down from the ECMO, to a jet ventilator, to a ventilator and to a C-pap. His oxygen levels remained unstable. On March 20, Jodi held her baby for the first time and met with doctors about a “do not resuscitate” order.

Saturday, March 21 Trevor was transferred to palliative care. Finally off heavy sedation, Jodi held her baby and saw his eyes. Torrey and Jodi held their baby for the rest of his life. They felt the weariness of being a newborn’s parents, a feeling they treasure.

Torrey and Jodi Seidel with their son Trevor Sunday, March 22 Trevor went into respiratory distress and was given morphine to help with the pain of “air hunger.” He was baptized by the hospital chaplain.

Monday, March 23 “Trevor passed away in my arms,” Jodi said. “He was surrounded by his family.”

There is no cure for this disease and without family and faith the journey would have been unbearable for the Seidels.

“They sat with us at the hospital, made sure we ate, took care of the daily functions of our house and let us cry on their shoulders... It brought us all closer to each other and closer to God. “We have all been forever changed by the experience. We feel very blessed to have such a supportive and loving family and friends.”

Walk for the Cure Trevor’s baby book grows with the impact of his short life.

Last October, the family participated in Walk for the Cure to benefit the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation. Pictures of their family, “Team Trevor,” are included in the book.

Amy Stuart, a 1994 Trinity High School graduate, coordinated the 2009 walk held at Apex Community Park. She and Bruce Howell will co-chair the Oct. 3 walk at the same location. They promoted the statewide walk at the Bush Hill Heritage Festival.

Team Trevor was the top fundraiser of the 2009 event, which raised nearly $20,000.

Uncle Wayne was among the donors and encourages others to donate as well.

Donations not only benefit research, Wayne said, it also gives people hope for a cure and assurance to people like Jodi, Torrey and Trevor that family stands with you.

It also gives assurance to local families — the Stuarts and the Smiths.

Henry Stuart of Archdale, Amy’s father, has the disease that caused his kidney failure in 1995. Three years ago he received a kidney transplant and is doing well, but symptoms of the disease still impact his life. Amy has the disease as well as the Stuart’s son, Michael.

Norma Smith of Archdale has the disease as does her son Rusty. Both have had kidney transplants and are doing well.

Grief to activism As a result of the Seidels’ experience, they have served on the Patient-Family Centered Care committee at Duke to implement changes in PICU such as a more comfortable waiting room, direct access communication with the PICU secretary rather than a buzzer, implementation of a primary doctor caregiver because of the number of physicians becomes overwhelming, the purchase of bedside recliners and development of a parent advisory council. They also advocated before the Certificate of Need Section for Rex Hospital and Wake Med to receive additional equipment.

Amy has taken a similar direction. For the second year, she is serving as the walk coordinator to raise money for research.

She also volunteers with Carolina Donor Services and lobbies her representatives to increase research funding for the disease. More research money could result in a long-term savings because dialysis, primarily covered by Medicare, is a costly procedure.

“Research is the key to finding a cure,” said Amy. “Billions of dollars are needed on a yearly basis for kidney patients; I am included in that number.”

At last year’s walk, Amy spoke of the 600,000 people in the nation who have the disease. At each point, walkers said, “This is why we walk.”

Like Amy, Jodi encourages others to educate themselves and to donate.

“Please help me make a difference by making a donation today or joining our team,” Jodi writes in ‘PKD Progress.’

“And so for you, Trevor, we walk...”

Walk for the Cure The walk for the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation will be held Sunday, Oct. 3, at Apex Community Park. Registration begins at 1 p.m. and the walk at 2 p.m.

The park is at 2200 Laura Duncan Road, Apex, NC 27511. To donate or donate to a team, visit www.pkdcure.org.

Team Baldwin of Archdale also seeks the community’s support at www.pkdcure.org. Pictured from left are Zach Thompson, NEWS editor Kathy Stuart with her husband Henry, Michael Stuart, lower right, and Amy Stuart. Henry, Michael and Amy have the disease. Henry’s mother, Mildred Baldwin Stuart, and his aunt, Ruth Baldwin Roberts, died of the disease.

‘Dine Out Day for United Way’ Oct. 5

F

ive Archdale-Trinity restaurants, and several on S. Main Street in High Point, are among the 54 restaurants which will participate in Dine Out Day for United Way set for Tuesday, Oct. 5.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER “There is no secret password, and no coupon to bring in,” said Ernest Bayne, owner of Archdale Subs.

Diners can order the same great-tasting food that they would ordinarily get and the restaurant will donate a portion of the proceeds from that day to United Way of Greater High Point.

“We put little fliers out on all the tables,” said Lisa Bayne. “It’s all day. Whatever we make that day, 10 percent goes to United Way. We have done it every year.”

This is the second year for Kim Cates, owner of Domino’s Pizza in Hillsville, and the High Point group of Domino’s owners.

“I support the United Way as just another way to give

back to our community,” Cates said. “We all have struggles, but we also all have blessings. The right thing to do is to help those in need whenever we can. The United Way supports so many. We are glad to help.”

Jerry Rozier, owner of Archdale Soda Shop, reiterated Cates’ belief in helping others through United Way. This is his first year as a participant.

“I try to help charitable organizations as much as I can,” he said.

This is the fifth year for Dine Out Day, said Sarah Barker of United Way of Greater High Point.

Last year’s event yielded $5,640 from 45 restaurants who participated. Most donate 10 percent of their proceeds. With 54 participating restaurants, Parker hopes this year’s event will net $7,000.

“We were thrilled the responses came back so quickly,” Barker said of the increase of participating restaurants.

United Way of Greater High Point funds 70 programs at 29 partner agencies which touch the lives of 70,000 people in Archdale, Trinity, High Point and Jamestown.

COAT awareness day Oct. 2 F

ree hot dogs, face painting, crafts and a performance by The Morning will welcome those who attend COAT Awareness Day set by Feed the Need.

STAFF REPORTS

Feed the Need is a local organization which supports Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity and other efforts to help those in need.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday at COAT, 10607 N. Main St. in Archdale at First Baptist Church. Men of Faith in Action from Faith Baptist Church will provide the food.

Rita Walker, COAT executive director, will be on hand to answer questions about the food pantry ministry.

“This is more of an informative type event to spread awareness of COAT,” said Feed the Need founder Jeff Foster.

Donations are welcomed to help support COAT’s BackPack Program, which provides backpacks of food to 265 elementary school children.

Donations of food or money will be accepted for the program, which costs about $850 a week.

Foster began Feed the Need as an outreach ministry and has partnered with COAT on several events.

“We are working on our nonprofit status as we speak and have evolved from a stand-alone event as we had in the past several years to an ongoing effort to touch the lives of others in our community,” Foster said.

“We are affiliated with COAT because it’s an organization that already has so

many mechanisms in place to help those in need. We want to help support COAT as much as possible.”

Feed the Need’s mission is a collaborative effort by followers of Christ, regardless of denomination or affiliation.

GrayBrier promotes residents’ rights Residents’ Rights Week, Oct. 3-9, offers a series of dining options at GrayBrier Nursing & Rehabilitation, but the week takes on a serious side, too. “As the GrayBrier celebrates residents’ rights, we encourage community members to visit someone they know in a long-term care facility, volunteer in a facility, participate in Residents’ Rights Week events, or inquire about becoming a volunteer long-term care ombudsman,� said Kelly Swartwood, director of admissions and marketing.

The week offers a series of events as part of the national observance. GrayBrier selected a theme of “Defining Dining: It’s About Me.�

GrayBrier will hold a chili cookoff — using residents’ recipes — at noon Monday, Oct. 4. Residents also will provide recipes for restaurant dining day set for noon Tuesday, Oct. 5. A tea party with pastries or coffee and doughnuts will be held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct 6.

A happy hour will be held 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, with cheese, crackers, peanuts and drinks. A buffet style lunch will be offered at noon Friday, Oct. 8. The buffet will in-

clude pizza, salad bar, chicken wings and all the fixings.

The week also includes recognition for the local longterm care ombudsman program staff and volunteers, who promote residents’ rights.

The GrayBrier is at 116 Lane Drive, Trinity. For more information, call 431-888.

Ride to beneďŹ t patients The third annual Hogs for the Holidays event will be held Saturday, Oct. 2. The ride benefits the patients’ activity fund at the GrayBrier Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on Lane Drive.

Registration begins at 11 a.m. at the GrayBrier.

Riders will travel to Danbury to Pickin’ at Priddys.

The event includes food and music. The cost is $20 per bike. Contact Stephanie at 879-0379 or Connie at 408-5202.

QuitSmart classes start in October Randolph Hospital will offer QuitSmart, a smoking cessation program, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Oct. 5, 19 and 26. The classes will be held in the conference room of the Home Health Building, 341 N. Fayetteville St., Asheboro (across from the main hospital campus).

Participants will learn several techniques to ease off nicotine, as well as decide if they need medication.

To overcome physical withdrawal symptoms, the QuitSmart System has smokers quit “warm chicken.�

Nicotine addiction is reduced gradually by switching each week to cigarettes at 40 to 50 percent less nicotine.

After two weeks, with much of the nicotine out of the body, the smoker will be able to quit much easier.

To overcome psychological dependence on cigarettes, QuitSmart teaches positive thinking (similar to reinforcement strategies used by successful athletes), decision-firming techniques and hypnosis. The classes are free and funded through a grant from the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation.For more information or to register, call 629-8836.

WAGE$ÂŽ improves teacher skills, turnover

L

ast year, more than 1,600 young children in Randolph County gained more highly-skilled teachers committed to their classrooms thanks to the Child Care WAGE$ÂŽ Project, said the Randolph County Partnership for Children.

STAFF REPORT

The project, funded by the Partnership, provides funding to reward higher levels of education and retain 143 early childhood professionals as a way to improve children’s early learning experiences. Research shows that childcare programs with highlyskilled teachers and low turnover rates benefit children developmentally, socially and eventually economically.

Research proves children benefit long-term when they have teachers

with college level coursework in early childhood education and are adequatelycompensated.

Unfortunately, according to the Partnership, North Carolina preschool teachers make approximately $22,530 a year.

The Child Care WAGE$ÂŽ Project provides salary supplements to qualifying early educators. It encourages teachers to take college-level early education classes and rewards them financially for achieving higher levels of education and for staying at the same center.

Tammy Hill, director of First Church of God Day School in Archdale says, “WAGE$ is a wonderful incentive to encourage teachers at our center to pursue higher education. Through this program, we are able to retain great teachers and give our children the high quality early education they deserve.�

Last year, 91 percent of WAGE$ recipients in Randolph County indicated the program either encouraged them to stay at their current child-care center or to pursue further education.

Since joining WAGE$, 64 percent of recipients have participated in early education coursework.

Additionally, Randolph County’s turnover rate for teachers last year was 13 percent as compared to a countywide 31 percent turnover rate prior to the implementation of the WAGE$ project. “In today’s economy, my WAGE$ supplement has made the difference between being able to keep my home, car, etc.,� commented a local early childhood professional. “Times are so hard; the supplement has been a lifesaver.�

The Randolph County Partnership for Children, a nonprofit organization, is

Adoption fair Oct. 9 The Randolph County Health Department in collaboration with Girl Scout Troop 40680 will hold a fall fling from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Randolph County Animal Shelter, The shelter is at 1370 County Lane Road in Randleman.

The event includes animal petting, food vendors, music, a meet and greet with “Stargazer� the mini horse. Animal adoptions will take place.

According to Janet Forrest, the oncology program planning liason, a patient said, “I walked in the parade with the survivors and it was inspiring to see so many other survivors there.

People who know what the journey is all about. “But that was not the thing that meant the most to me. What overwhelmed me, humbled me, and brought tears to my eyes was what I saw when we reached our destination. I saw all those folks from the hospital walking behind the ‘We Love Our Patients’ sign! I saw the actual people who gave me chemo, radiation and doughnuts. “I always knew they

And I feel really lucky that I chose this Cancer Center for my treatment!�

WEATHERMAN Continued from front Weatherman and his wife Heather were injured while returning home from the Pink Heals Tour, in which firefighters ride motorcycles accompanied by pink fire engines to raise cancer awareness.

Helms was riding with the couple and witnessed the accident in his rear-view mirror. “We were about 10 minutes out from Laurinburg,� he said. “We came around an s-curve and there was this SUV in the road.�

Helms slowed down and saw that the driver was backing up. Helms and another vehicle went around the SUV, but the driver didn’t see the Weathermans or Darren Pierce, who was behind them.

Horrified, Helms watched as the SUV struck the Weathermans’ motorcycle. Pierce had to go for the grassy shoulder to avoid being struck himself.

Helms felt helpless. Firefighters on the ride had no rescue supplies. “It’s not like we had a squad truck and an engine,� he said.

Darren, who suffered serious injuries to his pelvis, hip, left leg and ankle, was transported to a hospital in Laurinburg. He was later transferred to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center where he underwent multiple surgeries. While in the hospital, a group of his fellow firefighters went to visit him each day.

Heather is recovering from injuries to her knee and leg.

Darren has been with Guil-Rand Fire Department for 18 years. “Darren is a very community-oriented man who loves to help people,� said Guil-Rand Assistant Chief Scott Spencer. Heather is a charter member of the GuilRand Ladies Auxiliary. “She is right there by his side,� Spencer said.

The couple, who live in Sophia, have two children.
