Caldwell County, North Carolina Rosemary Marlowe Fountain Dedication on the Lenoir Greenway LENOIR, NC (August 9, 2018) -- Family and friends of Rosemary Marlowe gathered on the Lenoir Greenway Thursday morning, Aug. 9, 2018, to remember Rosemary and dedicate a water fountain in her name. Richard Marlowe, Rosemary’s husband, donated the fountain to the City. Rosemary and Richard spent many hours walking and talking on the Lenoir greenway. Rosemary died last year after putting up a courageous and dedicated fight against cancer. “A lot of things attracted me to [Rosemary], but one of the first things was her always-present smile,” Marlowe said. “It was a window into who she was as a person - genuine, caring, and always looking to help someone else if possible.” Throughout her fight against cancer, Rosemary persevered, Marlowe said, and she endured all the trials and struggles of that fight with “that same ever-present smile.” “She never gave up that she was going to be better one day,” Marlowe said. Less than six weeks after her first major surgery, Rosemary wanted to get back out on the greenway. She wanted to do the things she and her husband did before she got sick. “I couldn’t convince her that it was too early,” Marlowe said. “For those couple of hours every day it seemed like we were able to put our worries and fears behind us.” Continued on page 2…

“It’s my hope that this [fountain] stands here for many years, reminding people of Rosemary,” Marlowe said. “And that it will render aid and comfort to whomever stops by. I’m proud of it, and I think she would be.” Parks and Recreation Director Kenny Story said he really appreciated Marlowe’s generosity. The City will maintain the fountain. “I was so excited for [Marlowe], he’s a good man,” Story said. “And he cares about our Parks and Recreation Department. Thank you for this.”

Midsummer Musings by Dan O’Neal Confession is good for the soul, so it has been said. That being said, I take such a moment to do that; confess that I have given much thought to this feature that I intended to have completed back in June but honestly, fatigue has set in from time to time this summer season. With that, my confessional leads me to say I have not been much in the mood for “journalism.” On this particular day, that spirit has been rekindled. Part of what I had planned to write about was to first pass along the kudos to Coach Elliott Bridges, Casey Justice, and Jeff Parham on their outstanding spring sports performances in closing the 2017-18 School calendar year. Both the varsity baseball and soccer advanced past the first round in the NCHSAA playoffs; outstanding as always. However, the Varsity Softball exceeded all expectations by advancing to the NCHSAA Class 4A State Championship. Unfortunately, the Lady Spartans came up short in losing the best of three series to the Jack Britt Lady Buccaneers. Nevertheless, unofficially, the Caldwell Journal has declared Varsity Softball the South Caldwell Spartans “Team of the Year” and Casey Justice as South Caldwell’s Varsity Athletics “Coach of the Year”. All in all, the administrations and athletic directors do an outstanding job with enhancing academic and athletic achievement (certainly you notice the order of priority). My apologies to Trent Black for jinxing (i.e. if you are superstitious), running his perfect game in the conference playoff game at the “Big Deal”. He very much had a perfect game going until the late inning where I asked someone in the stands if it was a perfect game, to which the man replied “shhhhhhhh”. So, what happens when the next Freedom Patriot batter come to the plate? He hits a blooper between the first and second baseman breaking up Black’s perfect game. Yes, the Spartans won but next time I will “shoosh” when a no-hitter is in progress. Congratulations also to Carter Lewis for qualifying in the NCHSAA 4A Track meet and finishing eleventh in the pole vault with a height of 12’6”! Congratulations also to Granite Falls own native son Marty Curtis on his retirement from coaching High School baseball. Enough cannot be said with the way he helped shape many a young person in his fortyseven years of coaching, thirty-five of those at Bunker Hill High School. After 400 plus outstanding coaching victories, thank you so very much for your service. In talking with new Bears head coach Todd Setzer, I could only say to him, “your shoe size is not Marty’s shoe size. Do what you do really well!” Also, Marty and his wife Beverly recently celebrated 50 years of marriage, yet another milestone and extended words of congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Congrats also to Caldwell American Legion Post 29 in making the North Carolina State baseball playoffs. I so wish you guys were playing in Asheboro this weekend for the Southeast Regional Legion baseball tournament.
Is anyone shocked that LeBron James signed with the Lakers? Do any of you really care? I’m like, “as if this was such a big mystery, please?” In other musings, Tiger Woods, great to have you back on the PGA Tour. He may not be winning any majors but make no mistake about this, Spieth, Garcia, Mickelson, Johnson et al are very thrilled about him being back in the game. If the Boston Red Sox do not make it to and win the World Serious, oops, Series, that is very much on them. The same applies to the Alabama Crimson Tide football squad. Do not ask where I am on the NFL! Sometime next week, I will have my pre-season varsity sports feature. Again, South Caldwell students are blessed to have faculty, staff, band directors, choral directors, and coaches who truly care. As football coach Marc Kirkpatrick states, “while we certainly want wins, it is even more about team building as well as helping to shape these young people”. There, I finally got this done and will try not to delay too long next time, LOL…

August is Back to School Safety Month: Know the rules of the road RALEIGH, NC (August 2, 2018) -- August is Back to School Safety Month, and North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey who also serves as the Chair for SafeKids NC, reminds students, parents, and motorists to use extra caution as students walk, drive, or ride the bus to school. Violating the school bus law can cost you!!! “Passing a stopped school bus can result in the motorist adding four insurance points and seeing an 80 percent increase in auto insurance premiums,” Commissioner Causey noted. “More importantly, making such an ill-advised and unsafe move could result in injury or death to one of our precious children.” While students on traditional calendars will go back to school in late August, students at year-round schools have already started boarding buses and have headed back to class. On a typical day, more than 14,000 school buses carrying nearly 800,000 students operate on North Carolina roads. Commissioner Causey encouraged all motorists to watch for children walking to school or waiting by the roadside for a school bus. And he advised motorists to understand the rules of the road when a school bus is stopped picking up passengers. “In most cases, vehicles must stop in either direction if the school bus stop sign is out, red lights are flashing, and the bus is stopped to load or unload passengers,” Commissioner Causey said. “In some cases, where a median or physical barrier divides the traffic going in different directions, or where a center turn lane separates a four-lane road, motorists traveling the opposite direction from the school bus are not required to stop.” Commissioner Causey also offered National Safety Council tips as students and teachers head back to school.

Granite Falls woman found guilty of robbery and kidnapping LENOIR, NC (August 13, 2018) -- Granite Falls woman will spend at least four years in prison after a Caldwell County jury found her guilty of robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree kidnapping during Caldwell County Superior Court last week. The jury returned a guilty verdict for 50-year-old Judy Potter Norris on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018, and the Honorable Hugh B. Lewis, Superior Court Judge from Mecklenburg County, sentenced her to an active prison term of four to six years. Norris will serve that sentence in custody of the North Carolina Division of Adult Corrections. An employee of a Granite Falls convenience store was in the parking lot on Jan. 19, 2017, when Norris pulled into the parking lot wearing a mask, sweatshirt and camouflage pants. Upon exiting the vehicle, she pointed a .22-caliber handgun at the employee, told him he was being robbed and forced him into the store bathroom, locking him in from the outside. The defendant then walked to the cash register and took money from it along with rolled coins found under the counter. The employee had his cell phone with him and contacted law enforcement. Officers from Granite Falls Police Department arrived and were able to watch video surveillance of the robbery with managers of the store. They were able to help investigators identify Norris as a suspect by her walk, build, blonde hair protruding from the mask and the fact she was not wearing shoes, which she was known to do when coming into the store on other occasions. The vehicle driven to the store by the defendant was found at her residence along with the mask, sweatshirt and items taken from the store. Det. Clint Ferguson investigated the case for the Granite Falls Police Department. Andrew Jennings handled prosecution for the District Attorney’s Office.

Virtual Dementia Tour®: An Experience that Can Change Your Outlook HUDSON, NC (August 15, 2018) -- “I had no idea.” “Everyone on the planet needs to experience this!” “You are an active learner…you walk in the shoes of someone with dementia.” “My mom struggled with dementia for 12 years, but it wasn’t until I experienced the Virtual Dementia Tour® that I truly understood what her world was like.” These are just some of the quotes we’ve heard about the Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT), the original, ground-breaking, evidence-based, and scientifically proven method of building a greater understanding of dementia. The truth is that when dementia strikes, it strikes the whole community, not just the individual. Thanks to the VDT, health care professionals, family caregivers, business leaders, consumer advocates, first responders and educators are experiencing for themselves the physical and mental challenges facing people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
The VDT uses patented sensory tools and instruction based on research conducted by P.K. Beville, MS, a specialist in geriatrics and the founder of Second Wind Dreams®. During a VDT experience, trained facilitators guide participants outfitted with patented devices that alter their senses while they try to complete common everyday tasks. The VDT enables caregivers to experience for themselves the physical and mental challenges those with dementia face and use the experience to provide better personcentered care. “The solution to Alzheimer’s disease today and in the foreseeable future is in developing a better and more personal understanding of the day-to-day challenges facing those with the disease,” says Beville. “The VDT program is the tool that makes that understanding possible.” Caldwell Hospice recognized the need and created its dementia care program in 2011 to better serve patients with dementia and their families. “Dementia affects an increasing number of Caldwell Hospice patients and their families, not to mention others in our community,” says Martha Livingston, CSW, one of only four VDT Certified Trainers in North Carolina and 67 in the world. “It is important that we educate and encourage caregivers, families, and friends so they don’t give up in frustration and desperation.” Caldwell Hospice is excited to offer the following Virtual Dementia Tour® opportunities to our community: • Tuesday, August 28, 2018, from 9 to 11 a.m. • Wednesday, October 10, 2018, from 1 to 3 p.m. Each event will be held at Caldwell Hospice’s McCreary Family Professional Center, 526 Pine Mountain Road, Hudson, NC. Participants are led through the 45-minute experience in 10-minute intervals and only need to be present for their appointment time. Appointments are required, and space is limited. To reserve your space or learn more about the Virtual Dementia Tour®, please call 828.754.0101 or email prc@caldwellhospice.org.
