Eden is an All-America City finalist The City of Eden has been selected as a 2011 AllAmerica City finalist by the National Civic League. This non-profit, nonpartisan organization supports a mission to strengthen democracy by increasing the capacity of all of our nation’s people to fully participate in building healthy and prosperous communities across the nation. The AllAmerica City designation is part of its Civic Recognition Awards.

To become eligible to be an AllAmerica City you have to demonstrate how your community has addressed its two most pressing issues and a third issue concerning youth. A committee of Eden citizens started meeting in July of 2010 to begin this process. Many worthy programs were identified, including the Lord’s Pantry, Boy’s and Girl’s Club, Eden Parks and Recreation Department after school programs.

The three programs selected included:

Headquartered in Eden, this grassroots organization strives to improve water and encourage conservation, recreation and education.

Water quality is vital to Eden’s industrial recruitment efforts and tourism development.

• Rockingham Education Foundation This organization was started in Eden and expanded across the county. This organization has addressed the need to increase the education level of city and county residents. Employment opportunities increase with education levels.

• Dan River Basin Association (DRBA)

• Rockingham Student Health Centers Started in Eden in 1992, the centers provide health care for youth who may not otherwise have access to these services. In recent years, they have also addressed issues such as texting and driving, cyber-bullying and drinking and driving.

“The All-America City Award, does not mean you have a perfect community; it means you recognize your issues and are dealing with them in a collaborative way, utilizing a

The City of Eden received a $769,000 grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation in April. The funds will be used to run a sewer line to the Virginia state line so the city can supply utility services to the Berry Hill Regional Mega Park. The Mega Park is a 3,500 acre industrial park designed to attract a “gamechanging” industry, such as automotive, steel or chemical.

Up to 12,000 jobs have been forecasted for the park when it is completely occupied. Eden has been a partner in this park since its 2009 ribbon-cutting.

The Golden Leaf Foundation is a non-profit organization that disperses funds from the tobacco settlement to help tobaccodependent communities initiate and take advantage of new economic development opportuni-

ties. In July of 2010, it started a Community Assistance Grant process that awarded $2.7 million to Rockingham County.

Citizens and community leaders met monthly to identify the areas that most needed assistance. The final three areas selected included economic development, education and access to health care.

The Eden project was ranked second to the Rockingham County Schools Mobile Learning Initiative that received $1million in grant funds. “We appreciate that the participants in this process from other parts of Rockingham County recognized the tremendous potential of the Berry Hill Regional Mega Park in creating employment opportunities for citizens in a 6 county, 2 state area,” stated Mike Dougherty, Director of

Economic Development for the City of Eden. “We are pleased to participate in such a huge economic development project with our Virginia neighbors.”

Construction on the city sewer line extension is schedule to be completed by August of 2012.

This grant was one of two funds the city obtained recently.

On April 1, 2011, The City of Eden Environmental Services Department was notified of a $2.5 million loan to do the Kuder Street Substation rehabilitation project, $1 million of which is principal forgiveness, meaning it does not have to be paid back.

This is the second consecutive year that the Environmental Services has applied for and received loan forgiveness funding.

WASHINGTON, April 2011 – The American Red Cross is working around the clock to provide relief to people affected by the deadly tornadoes and scorching wildfires that left a path of destruction in six states across the south over the April 16th weekend.

Strong tornadoes ripped homes off their foundations, destroyed businesses and schools, overturned cars and buses, uprooted trees and downed power lines in Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi. In North Carolina alone, preliminary disaster assessments show almost 500 homes destroyed and more than 1,000 damaged. Some of the hardest hit areas are still inaccessible, and officials say that many more than 1,000 families will be homeless in the state.

Red Cross workers sheltered more than 500 people over the weekend, served meals throughout the affected neighborhoods, and provided personal hygiene items and supplies to help as the clean-up begins. With government officials reporting more than 40 deaths from the tornadoes, Red Cross disaster mental health workers are available to help people cope with the aftermath. Red Cross chapters throughout the south are deploying trained disaster teams into the area and more than 25 Red Cross emergency response vehicles are in hard-hit North Carolina, or on their way to the

state.

In Texas, wildfires have spread across more than 700,000 acres, destroying homes and forcing people to leave their neighborhoods. Red Cross disaster workers have opened shelters and are feeding those displaced by the fires. As families return to their neighborhoods, Red Cross teams are providing them with food and water. The Red Cross is also assisting those who have lost their homes to the fires, providing them with food, clothing and other necessities.

“Families have lost everything, and we are doing what we can to help them as they figure out what’s next,” said Charley Shimanski, senior vice president, Red Cross Disaster Services. “We’ll continue to help them in the weeks ahead as they try to get back on their feet.”

Since the end of March, the Red Cross has offered relief to people affected by 35 disasters in 20 states. The Red Cross is able to respond quickly with the help of corporations who are members of the organization’s Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP). ADGP members pledge donations on an ongoing basis to allow the Red Cross to pre-position supplies and be ready to take immediate action when disasters occur.

ADGP members include 3M, Altria, Aon, Cisco Foundation, ConAgra Foods, Darden Restaurants, Inc., Dr Pepper Snapple Group, FedEx Corporation, GE Foundation,

The Home Depot Foundation, John Deere Foundation, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Kraft Foods, Lowe's Companies, Inc., Merck, Morgan Stanley, Nationwide Insurance Foundation, Northrop Grumman, Ryder Charitable Foundation, Southwest Airlines, State Farm, State Street Foundation, Target, The TJX Companies, Inc., UnitedHealthcare, UPS and Walmart.

The Red Cross depends on financial donations to help people affected by disasters like these tornadoes and wildfires.

You can help by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

Contributions may also be sent to your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

All-America City finalist diverse group of citizens, organizations and community leaders,” stated Mike Dougherty, Director of Economic Development for the City of Eden.

Community pride, increased tourism development and making your community more attractive to businesses and residents are just some of the benefits of being selected. The excitement and positive outlook that resulted from Reidsville’s 2008 selection are still apparent among city residents and leaders.

On June 15, 2011, approximately 30 Eden community leaders, selected program representatives and other participants will travel to Kansas City, MO to compete with twenty five other finalists. Ten communities will be selected as All-America City Award winners. “We are very optimistic about our chances of winning,” stated Dougherty.

“The Eden projects are innovative, effective and have impressed the National Civic League.”

Fundraising efforts have begun, along with a process to create the most effective presentation before the National Civic League judges. This ten minute presentation is the determining factor in award selection. The award ceremony will take place on June 17th.

If you would like to participate in the process or contribute to the All-America City Award Fund to send the Eden contingent to Kansas City, please contact Mike Dougherty at 336-6237789 ext. 3046.

Morehead Mammography Center to Open Extended Hours Morehead Memorial Hospital’s mammography center will offer extended hours for the convenience of patients beginning Monday, May 2.

The center will extend its operating hours to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, enabling later afternoon mammography appointments.

The center currently is open 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Breast specialists from Greensboro Radiology now read all screening mammograms, as well as diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasounds. This enables patients in Rockingham County and the surrounding communities to obtain the same screening and diagnostic mammography services at Morehead Memorial Hospital as patients of The Breast Center of Greensboro without leaving Eden.

All mammograms scheduled at the Wright Diagnostic Center of Morehead Memorial Hospital are performed with digital imaging equipment. Digital mammography enables the radiologist to magnify the images, increase or decrease the contrast, and invert the black and white values while reading the images. These features allow the radiologist to evaluate very small abnormalities and focus on areas of concern.

Women will notice little difference when having a digital mammogram performed. The procedure is the same as traditional film mammography, but less time consuming, since repeated repositioning of the breasts for additional imaging is frequently unnecessary.

“Digital mammography has been proven in large scale studies to be especially helpful for women who are pre-menopausal and still have periods, and for those who are under the age of 40 and have dense breast tissue,” said Dr. Gretchen Green, supervising radiologist with Morehead Memorial Hospital’s breast imaging program.

For information about scheduling a screening mammogram, contact Morehead Memorial Hospital’s Central Scheduling Department at (336) 627-6183. The Wright Diagnostic Center of Morehead Memorial Hospital is located at 618 Pierce Street in Eden.

Umberella Girls - Everett Kuntz In addition to the Tenth International Argus Collectors Gathering we are sponsoring an exhibit of photos of Ridgeway Iowa 1939-42. They will hang for the whole month with an Argus Camera display as well.

Photos resemble Leaksville-Spray-Draper in same era. They were made using an Argus camera and the film was developed then, but not printed until 2002 Later some were published by University of Iowa Press so you'll get press release site as well as this NY Times site for a review.

Tenth Annual International Argus Collectors Group Comes To Eden Display is curated by Mike Retisma and Pam Buckley from Los Angeles with permission of the Everette Kuntz family. Copies of the book will be available. The photographs themselves will be available at the end of the show..

"In the early summer of 1939 I was in Iowa City to participate in a scholarship contest. I didn't win a scholarship, but I did get a nice sit down dinner with tablecloths and real napkins at University of Iowa expense - and I got a camera."

Everett W. Kuntz, 2002 In 1939 Everett Kuntz spent $12.50 at Henry Lewis's drug store in Iowa City for an Argus Model AF camera. The purchase exhausted most of the 18-year

old's savings, but he soon discovered the economy of surplus movie film and turned his camera toward the people of his hometown. Over the next three years he would make nearly two thousand negatives documenting the lives of the people of Ridgeway, Iowa and then store them away, not to be seen for 60 years.

Seventy of these images will be exhibited at the Eden, North Carolina Public Library during the month of May. The photographs are clearly those made by someone who is

known and trusted by his subjects: a policeman pushing a baby carriage, children spinning

Rockingham County Schools are seeking votes from the community in a national contest that evaluates school district websites. The school district’s www.rock.k12.nc.us website is one of 7 national finalists in a contest coordinated by the Kansas-based All of E Solutions organization.

The organization has selected 7 medium sized (with enrollment 7001 – 24,999) school district websites in its School-e Awards program that recognize the best district websites. The contest generated more than 7,500 nominations and RCS received 1,002. A selection process named 7 finalists for best websites in the medium sized category. One of the final 7 will be announced as best website based on the number of votes it receives. Members of the public can vote for their favorite school district websites. Voting ends on May 5, 2011 and a winner will be announced on May 6, 2011. To vote go to www.rock.k12.nc.us and click the graphic link under the Announcements heading that reads “Vote for RCS.” The School-e Awards recognize the best school district websites based upon good design practices, clear, concise and complete content and the ability of a website to fulfill an audience’s needs.

Rockingham County Schools is the only NC school district to make the final 7 in the medium sized category. Other finalists are school districts in Missouri, Wyoming, California, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Apple Foundation Grant Helps Continue Entrepreneur and Technology Services The Rockingham County Business & Technology Center recently announced that it has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Ben R. and Lemma M. Foundation to support its general operations. With these funds, the Center will continue to help local entrepreneurs learn how to plan, start and grow businesses, while also supporting its renewable energy, broadband and local food projects aimed at helping transition Rockingham County’s economy.

To foster local business success, the Business & Technology Center provides reliable information and effective services to its clients regardless of the business type or phase of development.

Businesses served by the Center fall in a wide range of sectors including alternative fuels, commercial construction, light industrial, renewable energy, catering, farming, retail and more. While each business is different, sound business principles and effective use of technology cut across them all.

The counseling, training and support services provided by the Business & Technology Center cover a variety of areas including business plan preparation, budget development, marketing strategy, financial analysis and e-commerce. In addition, staff has developed economic development projects that aim to push broadband into rural areas not already served, utilize trash as a renewable energy source and help farmers develop markets for high value food to help replace tobacco income.

“This investment by the Apple Foundation helps us continue the broad range of services we are providing and the innovative projects we are leading,” said Mark Wells, Executive Director at the RCBTC. “Without their support, we would not be able to offer the level of services Rockingham County businesses need to help them through the existing economic transition from tobacco and textiles, coupled with the Great Recession,” added Wells.

About the Ben R. and Lemma M. Apple Foundation: The Ben R. and Lemma M. Apple Foundation was established in 1987 by a gift of stock from Mrs. Apple. The Foundation focuses its investments in Western Rockingham and Eastern Stokes Counties, the area the Apple family spent their entire lives. The family’s desire was to use their accumulated wealth to reinvest in their community. Mr. Ben T. Vernon serves as the Foundation’s Senior Trustee.

About the Rockingham County Business & Technology Center: The RCBTC is an e-NC Authority Business and Technology Center designed to create an entrepreneur-friendly, technology-enabled environment in Rockingham County.

The Center helps entrepreneurs learn how to plan, start and grow businesses, while making sure they understand how to use technology to be competitive in today's global marketplace. For more information call (336) 342-7853 or visit their web site at www.rockinghambusiness.org.

RAFI Grant to Increase Local Food Sales The Rockingham County Business & Technology Center (RCBTC) has received a $30,000 grant to redesign and take control of the Piedmont Local Food website (www.piedmontlocalfood.com) . This is a demonstration grant distributed by Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA (RAFI) with financial support from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission. These demonstration grants are slated to help transition tobacco farmers into other crops so that rural areas can maintain their farming heritage. Now entering its second season, the Piedmont Local Food initiative is a virtual farmers’ market partnership led by Rockingham County Local Food Coalition, Inc. and supported by the RCBTC and Rockingham County Cooperative Extension.

Grant funds will be used to fully redesign the existing PiedmontLocalFood.com website, which is currently leased from Foothills Connect, a sister e-NC Business & Technology Center to the RCBTC. Doing so will allow many new enhancements to the current site, including thorough reporting that will allow farmers to better manage their farm businesses.

It also will bring technical control of the website to the Piedmont, allowing quicker updates, fixes. “Foothills Connect has done a magnificent job helping us expand their program in the Piedmont, and this grant provides them a signifi-

On Duty - Everett Kuntz

ARGUS ... continued from previous page around a merry-go-round, young friends arm-and-arm smiling for the camera, a store clerk surrounded by the sundries of the 1930's. All reflect an easy familiarity and affection between photographer and subject. Other images record the working and social life of Ridgeway - setting fence posts, laying railway track, a high school car wash, a dance and are full of the material details of the time which provide so much of the satisfaction of documentary photographs. The lasting impression is one of a community in which friendship and mutual regard were the expectation, an impression more striking to today's viewer than it would have been to the subjects themselves.

Everett worked almost entirely with available light on Kodak Super-XX film, and his images are well exposed and sharp. He could not afford an enlarger or printing supplies, so he simply developed the negatives in a makeshift darkroom, storing them away when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942.

After the war Everett finished his degree and worked as an electrical engineer at Minneapolis Honeywell. He married Helen in 1954 and together they raised 3 children and cared for 7 foster children. He continued to make photographs and movies, passing on his love of the discipline, the outdoors, and learning in general to his children and foster children.

Everett returned to his Ridgeway negatives in 2002, and at age 81 began scanning and printing them on his PC. He showed the prints to friends, family and some of the original subjects, and word spread of the exceptional photographic and documentary value of the work.

Requests for prints accumulated and articles appeared in media in Iowa and Minnesota. Finally, a few months before his death in 2003, a retrospective exhibit was held near his home in Mounds View, Minnesota. In 2008, a book of the photographs, Sunday Afternoon on the Porch (text by Jim Heynen, University of Iowa Press), was published.

The current exhibit was assembled with the cooperation of David, Carol, and Nancy

Kuntz, the Argus Collectors Group, the Eden Public Library, and the University of Iowa Press.

It includes the first complete collection of prints of the images in Sunday Afternoon on the Porch made since the publication of the book. The prints in the exhibit were made from Everett Kuntz's scans by Clint Farlinger, a nationally published photographer who works from Cresco, Iowa.

The exhibit will be up from May 3rd to May 28th during regular hours at the Eden Public Library, 598 South Pierce Street, Eden, North Carolina.

The exhibit is in conjunction with the Tenth Annual International Gathering of the Argus Collector's Group which meets May 13-15. Argus camera collectors from across the US and Canada gather at the Eden City Hall for the fourth year for workshops, photo tours and contests.

Football League invited Eden to participate in league. They will begin play this fall.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for kids who want to play football," said Jason Smart. "RCYFL is a quality organization, and we are excited about the chance to have our kids participate in an established league."

Several months ago, Keith Dallas, Jason Smart, and Phil Berger, Jr. began discussing the possibility of joining the RCYFL. Dallas and Smart submitted a proposal to the league which provided for one team in the 7-9 age group and another in the 10-12 age group. There will also be cheerleading squads for the teams.

While football season may seem far away, the group has to build the program from the ground up.

"We are looking at brand new helmets, jerseys, pants," said Keith Dallas. "Right now, however, we have to pick out colors, logos, and even a name. We invite football fans in Eden to help us."

Children interested in playing should contact edenyouthfootball@gmail.com. Information on signups will be available at a later date.

You can be the voice for an abused or neglected child in rockingham county.

Over 125 of Rockingham County’s children are in foster care.

These children are victims of abuse and neglect. Many of these children will spend their childhood in foster care and never experience the love and security of a permanent home. Unfortunately, this number continues to rise.

While many of these children’s stories are sad, there are also many with the potential for happy endings. In order for safe, permanent homes to be secured for these children many people must become involved and work to improve their outcomes. A Guardian ad Litem Volunteer is one of those people.

The Rockingham County Guardian ad Litem Program is a nonprofit organization and is a division of the Administrative Office of the Courts. This program is based on community volunteer participation. Without volunteers the program would not exist. This program trains volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. Our goal is to help these children find safe, loving, and permanent homes.

A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is a trained volunteer who is appointed by the court to advocate for the best interests of an abused or neglected child. In court, the GAL serves as an important voice for the child. Guardian ad Litem volunteers come from all walks of life and have a variety of professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds. No special education or experience is required.

All children deserve a voice and an advocate on their side. Won’t you dedicate a few hours a month to ensure they have it?

Death is an experience that hurts, and brings pain. No one is immune. It is part of being human. No one escapes grief and loss.

The sources of grief and loss are many. They vary from person to person, but the feelings we experience are similar...shock, denial, anger depression.

Feelings that can overwhelm us unless they are faced and shared.

If this is a time of grief and loss for you we invite you to join with others who are going through the same experience.

Dealing with grief and loss following a death has many times been thought of more in the area of crisis management. What has been discovered though, is that the process of grieving often lasts for years. After all the friends, family, church officials, and other professionals leave, there is still unresolved pain and negative feelings. These feelings many times are thought to be unique and are buried and not dealt with.

Here is what others have said: “This class helped me put things in perspective and showed me I was handling things better than I thought.”

“It was helpful to hear others and what they went through and are feeling. Plus the meetings actually make you bring feelings out and deal with your grief. Plus there are always those people you attended with that will always be there for extra support. Thanks.”

This support-group on “Grief and Loss” being offered

by Draper Christian Church will be of real value to you. We are having an initial organizational meeting on May 28th at the church building located at 1116 West Fieldcrest Road in Eden.

We will meet at 7PM. Gary L. Wackler, DCC’s new minister, will facilitate the group. Call 336-635-8932 to register or if you have questions.

GIS is a technology that combines hardware, software and data to help view and understand mapped information. Through conducting field work in our local streams and woods, participants in the GIS Explorer Camp will explore how spatial data can help biologists make decisions and answer questions about the natural world. GIS is also used by city planners, hydrologists, health officials, emergency response teams, and in many more careers around the world.

The program is free, but you must supply your own bicycle and helmet as we will be traveling by bicycle along Raleigh greenways to collect the data needed for GIS mapping.

Providing Solutions For Better Heath Asthma in Infants Few things are as unsettling as a sick baby, struggling to breathe – especially when it's yours! And, figuring out the source of the problem can be a bit of a puzzle, particularly if your infant has asthma. That's because asthma in infants can have many faces. Babies with asthma often have sudden, severe wheezing and trouble breathing, just as older children do. But asthma in infants may also show up a s chronic coughing, noisy breathing, or "chest colds."

Asthma is a chronic lung disease. It makes the airways swell, tighten, and produce too much mucus. Severe asthma attacks can require a trip to the emergency room. And, uncontrolled asthma can damage the lungs over time. So, this is not something to ignore. If your baby has unexplained respiratory symptoms, stay alert and in communication with the pediatrician. Be prepared to tell the doctor how and when symptoms get worse. This can help rule out problems and confirm a diagnosis of asthma.

If anti-asthma medications relieve any wheezing and coughing, the diagnosis is pretty clear. But in some cases, other asthma mimics need to be ruled out. These include viral infections or congenital conditions or diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

If it turns out your baby does have asthma, you may be wondering what caused it and what to do next! Although no one really knows the cause, your genes may play a role.

Other factors may also come into play. Some doctors think breastfeeding the first year can help prevent asthma, but the evidence doesn't yet support this.

Keeping your baby away from common asthma triggers such as cigarette smoke, aerosol sprays, pet dander, and dust mites may lessen symptoms of asthma. If you suspect a certain food is causing an allergic reaction, this could also trigger asthma. Remove the food from your baby's diet, and then reintroduce it, to see what happens. However, it's hard to do very much about other common triggers, such as crying, respiratory infections, and weather changes.

Prescription anti-inflammatory medications are the other mainstay of asthma treatment for infants. Your baby may need a combination of different types of medications. Be clear about whether you should give medication continuously or only when symptoms appear. A nebulizer uses forced air to send out a mist of medication that your baby can breathe through a mask. Don't be alarmed if it takes a little while for your baby to get used to this. If your child is a toddler, it may be possible to use an inhaler with a spacer (a small tube).

Are you concerned about trying these medications in such a small child?

Remember that, along with your child's pediatrician, I can help guide you in their safe and effective use. But whatever you do, don't put off seeking care – even if you think your child may "outgrow" this problem. Some kids' asthma does get better with time, but the best results come with adequate treatment.

tion of three classrooms and a conference room and helping with the annual operating costs for a two -year period. At the end of this period the city would release responsibility of the project to Goodwill Industries completely.

Council was presented with the infrastructure and projected operating costs for the budget.

Although Councilman Gene Hagood opposes the city’s involvement with the project, believing that the city should not be in the education business and should be handled by a non-profit entity, the motion was approved.

Rockingham Community College, has already approved their cooperation in the project, which now awaits approval from the Goodwill Industries Board.

County 4-H Nutrition Fair On Tuesday, April 12, Rockingham County 4-H held their 2011 4-H Nutrition Fair. 4-Hers from ages 5-18 displayed their recipes and food dishes. There were 6 youth participating in the contest!

4-Hers prepared a food dish in one of the 5 categories such as salad, snack, dessert, main dish or beverage.

Some examples of food displayed were veggie pizza, tropical yum yum and monk’s coffee cake.

The 4-Hers not only had to prepare their dishes; they had to share their knowledge to the judges. The judges taste tested 4-H dishes and asked questions about the preparation and display of the food. Youth had to tell the judges about the nutrition of their dish and what nutrients were in their dish.

The 4-Hers then shared their food with one another before the awards were presented. 4-H participants received certificates and cooking items to improve their cooking experiences. 4-H wants to thank the Nutrition Fair judges as well. Rockingham County 4-Hers culinary skills shined brightly at the Nutrition Fair!

Cutting for over 40 Years fan. It’s the first thing you see on the door. In fact some of his most prized possessions are autographed Duke posters.

Woodall is a family man, he has a stepson, Bryan Cox, with

his wife Kay and also a son with Kay, Sgt. Shane Woodall of the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department, He serves as a school resource officer at McMichael High.

Woodall’s father, the late Roy “Buck” Woodall retired from American Tobacco, his mom Virginia, retired from Vanier Graphics.

Special Invitation In honor of Mother's Day and Better Hearing Month,

Advantage Hearing & Audiology is offering free refreshments and consultations for mothers and families.

This event will be available by appointment only during the month of May.

Over 40 years cutting hair and listening to stories, Tommy Woodall has heard it all. Or so he thinks, until a new customer comes in and tells him something that surprises him all over again.

He began working in July 1968 at Butler’s Barber Shop on the Cook Block, owned by Lee and “Rooster” Butler. He decided to go into business for himself almost three years later and opened up on April 5th 1971 in the old Gillespie Barber Shop on Fieldcrest. In 1977 he moved to his present location right up the street at 130 N. Fieldcrest, where he has been ever since.

Born and raised in Draper, Woodall cuts hair for the community in his little golf ball filled Barber Shop (he has 2249 displayed and 1500 more at home).

The ceiling is covered with flags from over 100 various golf courses. So it’s easy to see what he liked to do in his off time.

Woodall recently celebrated 40 years in business in April and is still going strong. Many think of him as the place to go to find out what is going on, and to spread a little news of their own.

An avid sports fan, as soon as you see the front of his shop, you know he is Duke Blue Devil

Nearby Vacation Destinations Completely unsolicited at locations that were totally unaware of being critiqued before checkout.

As a new feature, every month or so I will review a dayaway drive location (within a few hours drive) that I feel could offer citizens a nice little get away… or not…depending on the review!

This month’s choice is the Sandy Beach Resort, in Myrtle Beach and a nearby restaurant that is also a great place to visit on your trip the beach.

Where to stay…

Sandy Beach Resort, Myrtle Beach 201 S. Ocean Boulevard - 1-800844-6534 • www.beachtrips.com General Manager Tony Volpe at ext 4000 Rates April 1 – June 30 are from $49 - $415 per night July 1st through September 30 $64 - $395 per night October 1 – December 31 $45 - $135 per night • 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condos with bedroom and living room separate, most rooms are equipped with washer and dryer (wonderful for those wet bathing suits!), refrigerator, stove, microwave and LCDTV. Some have deep and luxurious whirlpool tubs as well. These rooms are not the bright tropical motif most are accustomed to at

the ocean, but a tasteful, luxurious decor makes you feel like you’re living in style.

AMENITIES • Offering indoor and outdoor pools and lazy rivers (heated and unheated), a children’s pool that has big colorful amusements as well as hot tubs inside and out, all these are great additions to the ever popular ocean. I find that there is abundant outdoor seating, well kept pools and hot tubs, plenty of shade for the non-sun worshippers. There are also towels available at the pool so you don’t have to bring your own.

• For those who like to work-out there is a fitness center.

I find it enough of a work out just to be on vacation, but you may want to visit the gym.

• All rooms have free wireless Internet and free local calls.

• Do you become a dare devil on your vacations, well there are on-site parasail and Jet Ski rentals just for you.

• Some like their rooms close to the ground, others can get a more than spectacular view from the 19th floor.

• Right on the beach, with a lifeguard stand directly in front, and rentable beach cabana tents and chairs right on the oceans edge.

tion, location? The hotel sits diagonally from the Family Kingdom Amusement Park, where the famed Swamp Fox roller coaster runs, as well as scooter rental, convenience stores, beach stores, hot dog stands, ice cream parlor and a neighborhood bar, all adjacent to the property. Not to mention only a few hundred feet from the entrance to the ever-popular Family Kingdom Water Park.

• There is a guard on duty at the front entrance to the hotel, and guests are assured of a safe vacation.

That is all the good about the Sandy Beach Resort the only bad I saw in the entire hotel was that the parking was across the street, and although you have plenty of room to pull up under a covered entrance to unload and load, the parking can be a small drawback.

Where to eat…

• The 2nd Ave Pier is a very short little walk on the beach or on the sidewalk away (about two hotel widths away), and features the PierHouse Restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the third floor Pier View Open Air Bar overlooking the ocean, beach and pier and a magnificent view of the strand.

Owner Trent Collins and bartender Michael Phillips both make you feel right at home, and don’t forget to ask for server Heather Fernie, who will make sure your visit is enjoyable.

I personally ate at the Pier View Open Air Bar, choosing to sit out in the sun due to a sumptuous cool breeze, forgetting that the sun still burns the skin, whether you’re hot or not! But I found the covered open-air tables are great for the day and the uncovered for the evening dining, unless you are a true sun worshiper. Food was great; service was quick, friendly and lighthearted.

Just right for beach dining.

Teacher Remembered with Scholarship Dr. Dorothy M. Haith of Perry, Ga. remembers well Ida Hauser Duncan, the woman who took time to mentor, guide and instruct students at Booker T. Washington High School in Reidsville. Haith was one of her students.

“She took a deep interest in teaching her students more than academics,” said Haith.

“She knew the influence that a caring teacher could have upon a student’s life.”

Duncan In honor and appreciation of Duncan, the woman who served as teacher, yearbook and student government association advisor, mentor, and “first lady” of Livingstone College during her husband’s tenure there as president, Haith has established the Ida Hauser Duncan Scholarship at Rockingham Community College.

The scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating senior from Reidsville High School who is enrolled full-time in any RCC program of study leading to a degree or diploma.

Duncan scholars will demonstrate good character, a desire for education, and financial need. Recipients must have a minimum 2.25 grade point average and show academic promise for completing their course of study at RCC. The scholarship is renewable for two years if criteria are met.

Gifts may be made to the Ida Hauser Duncan Scholarship at any time. To make a contribution, contact the RCC Development Office at 342-4261, ext. 2201.

DADDY

Amanda Rorrer, Contributing writer Author of Runningwrite.blogspot.com

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."

-- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Rorrer

Dear Daddy, You really gave me a scare last week, and everyone else that loves you, too. I had planned a birthday surprise for you, but it was nothing major, just cake and ice cream and our family get-together. I didn’t get you a present to open. As I thought about things and the events that unfolded over the next few days, I regretted that I didn’t have a gift for you.

As I was wondering the gift shop at the hospital, I really felt out of sorts.

I had stepped away from the room to make some phone calls, clear my head, and just make sense of all that had happened. I didn’t know what I was looking for, but really, God showed me what it was.

I’ll never forget the look you gave me as you lowered your glasses and saw the price tag when I brought back the coffee mug. (Sorry, I forgot to take it off.) You asked me if I really paid $14 for a coffee mug. The answer is no— I paid $28 for two. I know you have a gazillion mugs, but you didn’t have one like this, and neither did I. And no, it wasn’t the mug that God was showing me, but the message behind it.

The inscription on the mug says: Appreciate the little things, because one day you’ll back and realize they were the big things. My eyes welled up with tears when I read the words. As I turned the mug in my hand, I saw the figure watering the small bush and the larger tree next to it. My tears were no longer contained in my eyes; they were streaming down my face. I know it’s not even scripture, but I think that is one of the neat things about it. God reveals Himself to us in ways that surround us all the time. Sometimes I let myself become consumed with things that I make out to be big things, when really, they are small potatoes in the grand scheme of life. That’s part of being human, and sometimes God likes to slow us down and make us reconsider our perspective and priorities.

I immediately thought of you and of those I love the most in this life. I thought of your love of flowers and the outdoors, and how you instilled in me that same love. I realized that my happiest childhood memories are of us working together in the yard. My happiest memories as an adult are times I have spent working in the flower and vegetable gardens with Robert and Lydia. I remembered Nannie and how much she loved flowers. I remembered how you taught me the names of them and how Nannie sang to them to “get them to grow.” I’ve tried to pass this love on to Lydia. We’ve had her in the dirt since before she could walk and I’ve taught her the names as well. Robert works with her patiently in the vegetable garden, just as his grandpa did with him.

You see, I can’t put a price on those memories. I don’t need a mug to remind me to remember, but I thought you could think of me and I of you when we can’t be near and know how much we love each other. God reminded me that the little things in life should be the things we cherish the most. He did this in a way that was much more personal than any cheesy “priceless” MasterCard commercial. I answered by saying, “Ok God, you’ve got my attention. Thanks for saving my Daddy. I promise to pay more attention to the little things that I am so blessed to have. I’m trying to do the right thing in so many different directions of my life, I still make mistakes, and I need you to show me what the right things are.”

There in the hospital, you told me that everything happens for a reason, and God never puts more on us than we can handle. Even in the midst of things, you were comforting and parenting me. The thought of not have you as a presence in my life was very bleak and scary, but I know it is a part of growing up, growing older, and living life. There is no possession that could compare or replace those who I love the most. I spent years searching to fill a void because I didn’t have the capability at the time to realize the love surrounding me or the importance of the little things. I went to Texas and back, came home with an empty heart, and only then did I begin to treasure the little things that family provides. Over time, and with maturity, God has granted me a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter that have shown me more love than I thought I was even worth at times. They have helped me prioritize what is important and view life with a larger perspective. Our love is not found in grand things, but in small things we often take for granted. I think it all comes down to what a person’s view of big and small really is proportionately, in one’s heart and head.

I am thankful that I have a house, which is a necessity in life. It may not be the biggest or most fancy house, but it is ours and we have made a home.

There is always a stack of bills that must be paid, but our table is blessed and our bellies are full. For us, these are the big things. We work for them and we have pride in what we do, but at the end of the day, it’s the little things that provide us with joy. Little things include: sitting in the front porch swing and planning our future, snuggling and laughing during Scooby Doo cartoons, reading bedtime stories, a refrigerator covered with memories and artwork, a note on the counter that says “I love you,” tomato sandwiches for breakfast, a dog at my feet after a hard day’s work, talking to you on the phone for an hour and not even realizing that an hour has passed, a kiss on the cheek for no reason at all, the sound and feeling of laughter with family, and evening walks.

We were more than lucky on April 10th, 2011, and that’s no little thing.

I love you very much and I appreciate all that you are to me.

Love, Amanda

For The Fun Of It Are blind pilots flying?

Business Men

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated waiting for the pilot to show up so they can get under way.

The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle.

Both appear to be blind; the pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with sunglasses.

At first, the passengers do not react thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes though, the engines start revving, and the airplane begins moving down the runway.

The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness.

They start whispering among themselves and look desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.

Yet, the plane starts accelerating rapidly, and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.

When the plane has less than twenty feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once. At the very last moment, the plane lifts off and is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and tells the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we aren't going to know when to take off!"

Once there were four business men. They were sitting on a bench in a hospital waiting room because their wives were having babies.

A nurse comes over and says to the first businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had 1 baby."

The man says, "What a coincidence! I'm the president of And1!"

The nurse goes away.

Then the nurse comes back and says to the second businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had twins!"

The man says, "What a coincidence! I'm the owner of the Minnesota Twins!"

The nurse goes away.

The nurse comes back and says to the third businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had triplets!"

The man says, "What a coincidence! I work for Triple Crown!"

The nurse goes away.

The nurse comes back and sees the fourth businessman alone on the bench crying.

She asks, "Why are you crying"?

The man replies, "I work for Seven Up"!

Tent Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping.

They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep.

Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.”

Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.”

Holmes said: “and what do you deduce from that?”

Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.”

And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.”

Adam then asked, "why did you make her such a good cook?".

God replied, "So that you would love her".

Adam asked, "Why does she have such a heavenly smile?".

God said "So you would love her" Finally, Adam asked "Why did you make her so dumb?"

God replied, "So that she would love you!".

Blondes So a blond was speeding down the highway. All of a sudden she gets pulled over (obviously because she was speeding.)

The cop who pulled her over was also a blond (uh-oh)... The cop says "Ma'am i need to see your drivers license ID." The driver was confused, being blond and all.

So, the cop decides to remind her what an ID is. "Ma'am its a rectangular thing with your picture on it" The blond still has no idea, but looks for it anyways. So funny them blonds. She pulls out a rectangular mirror and hands it to the cop.

The blonde cop says to the blond driver, "Oh, sorry ma'am if I had known YOU were a cop too, I wouldn't have pulled you over."

Dogs In A Bar A man goes into a bar with his dog. He goes up to the bar and asks for a drink.

The bartender says "You can't bring that dog in here!" The guy, without missing a beat, says "This is my seeing-eye dog."

"Oh man,” the bartender says, "I'm sorry, here, the first one's on me." The man takes his drink and goes to a table near the door.

Another guy walks into the bar with a Chihuahua. The first guys sees him, stops him and says "You can't bring that dog in here unless you tell him it's a seeing-eye dog."

The second man graciously thanks the first man and continues to the bar. He asks for a drink. The bartender says "Hey, you can't bring that dog in here!"

The second man replies "This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bartender says, "No, I don't think so. They do not have Chihuahuas as seeing-eye dogs."

The man pauses for a half-second and replies "What??! They gave me a Chihuahua??!"

Three Women Three women are at a house, one redhead, one brunette, and one blonde.

A genie appears and says the women can say anything, but if they tell a lie, they will disappear.

The redhead says, "I think I am the smartest woman ever," and she disappears.

The brunette says, "I think I am the most beautiful woman on Earth," and she disappears.

The blonde says, "I think-" and she disappears.

Heaven

Three Men

Mary, Anna, and Tess died and went to heaven. God said, "Do whatever you want, but don't step on the pink clouds." One day, Mary decided to go for a walk. When she came back, there was an ugly boy next to her. Anna and Tess asked, "Where'd you get that ugly boy?" "I stepped on a pink cloud." The next day, Anna decided to go for a walk. When she came back, there was an ugly boy next to her. Mary and Tess asked, "Where'd you get that ugly boy?" "I stepped on a pink cloud." The next day Tess decided to go for a walk. When she came back, there was a cute boy standing next to her. Mary and Anna asked, "Where'd you get that cute boy?" The boy said, "I stepped on a pink cloud."

Three guys had to cross a lake. The first one prayed to God for the strength, he swam across the lake, but almost died 5 times.

The second guy prayed to God for the strength and the tools, he made a boat, and rowed himself across the lake, he almost died 3 times.

The third guy prayed to God for the strength, the tools, and the brains. He turned into a girl, walked 4 yards, and crossed the bridge.

Memory Class An elderly couple had been experiencing declining memories, so they decided to take a power memory class where one is taught to remember things by association.

A few days after the class, the old man was outside talking with his neighbor about how much the class helped him.

"What was the name of the Instructor?" asked the neighbor.

"Oh, ummmm, let's see," the old man pondered.

"You know that flower, you know, the one that smells really nice but has those prickly thorns, what's that flower's name?"

"A rose?" asked the neighbor.

"Yes, that's it," replied the old man. He then turned toward his house and shouted, "Hey, Rose, what's the name of the Instructor we took the memory class from?"

How To Ask A Man How To Ask A Man To Do Something Always remember these six important rules when asking a man to do something: 1. Make sure the man is conscious.

2. Crash the hard drive on his computer and line the bird cage with the sports section.

3. Be brief! Limit your nagging speech to two, three hours, max.

4. Reward him for cooperative behavior. Offer to cook him something that doesn't have a peel-back cover.

5. Punish him when he refuses to cooperate. Microwave his remote on high power for 55 minutes.

Rotate 1/4 turn, and microwave again for another 35 minutes.

6. Use "would you" or "will you" instead of "you'd better" or "do as I say and no one will get hurt."

Those raccoons are not luggage

The Hair Cut

As migration approached, two elderly vultures doubted they could make the trip south, so they decided to go by airplane.

When they checked their baggage, the attendant noticed that they were carrying two dead raccoons. "Do you wish to check the raccoons through as luggage?" she asked.

"No, thanks," replied the vultures. "They're carrion."

A little boy took the chair at the barber shop.

“How would you like your hair cut today, Son?” asked the barber.

“Oh, do it like Daddy’s with the big hole at the back.”

I deserve a first class seat A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first class section of the plane. The stewardess rushes over to her and tells her she must move to coach because she doesn't have a first class ticket. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good job, and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."

The disgusted stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the blonde to leave. The blonde yet again repeats "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."

The head stewardesses doesn't even know what to do at this point because they still have to get the rest of the passengers seated to take off; the blonde is causing a problem with boarding now, so the stewardess gets the copilot.

The copilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She immediately gets up and goes to her seat in the coach section. The head stewardess asks the copilot in amazement what he said to get her to move to her correct seat. The copilot replies, "I told her the front half of the airplane wasn't going to Jamaica."

Memories Michelle: “My parents have dreadful memories.”

Chris: “Can’t remember everything, huh?”

Michelle: “Oh, no. That’s the problem. They do remember everything.”

1st Time Flier The first-time flier was very nervous as he buckled his seat-belt before takeoff. He turned to the woman in the next seat and asked, “About how often do jetliners like this crash?”

She thought a moment and replied, “About once, usually.”

The Scale Little Kristin, five, was showing a neighborhood friend around her house. Her friend had never seen bathroom scales before and was mystified by the dial.

“What is ths?” the friend asked.

“I’m really not sure. But I know what it’s used for. It’s a machine that puts grown-up people in a terrible mood.”

Dear Son: Just a few lines to let you know I’m still alive. I’m writing slowly because I know that you can’t read fast. You won’t know the house when you come home… We moved.

About your father, he has a lovely new job. He has 500 people under him. He is cutting grass at a cemetery.

There was a washing machine in the new house when we moved into it, but it wasn’t working too good. Last week I put 14 shirts into it, pulled the chain and I haven’t seen the shirts since.

Your sister, Mary had a baby this morning. I haven’t found out whether it’s a boy or girl, so I don’t know if you are an aunt or uncle.

Your uncle Dick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey in Doublin Brewery. Some of his work mates dived in to save him, but he fought them off bravely. We cremated his body and it took three days to put out the fire.

Your father didn’t have much to drink over Christmas. I put a bottle of castor oil in his pint of beer. It kept him going until New Year’s Day. I went to the doctor on Thursday and your father went with me.

The doctor put a tube in my mouth and told me not to open it for 10 minutes. Your father offered to buy it from him.

It only rained twice last week. First three days, and then four days.

Monday was so windy that one of our chicken laid the same egg four times.

We had a letter from the undertaker. He said dif the last installment wasn’t paid on your grandmother, up she comes.

Your loving mother.

All proceeds benefit The Free Clinic, a private, non-profit, volunteer based organization which continues to be the thoroughbred provider of medical, dental, and pharmaceutical care for Rockingham County residents who are low income and uninsured.

The Clinic is quick to acknowledge its winning record is only because of caring community partners. Nearing its 13th year of providing quality, comprehensive health care, the Clinic has provided millions of dollars in services to its target population and has significantly relieved the burden placed upon local emergency rooms. In 2010, medical visits jumped 32% and dental visits increased 40% over 2009 totals as record numbers of Rockingham County residents found themselves uninsured and desperate for care. The Clinic ensures the sick and hurting are able to receive the quality care they need so they can return to work, support their families and contribute to our local communities in ways that ripple positive economic effects throughout our entire county. Leslie Deaton, Executive Director of the Clinic, says “the cost per day to operate the facility is $850. Our biggest expense is the many prescriptions for our patients, many of whom are extremely sick with chronic diseases.” Open since 1998, the Free Clinic of Rockingham County operates solely on private donations and grants. Fundraisers like this are critical to keeping the Clinic doors open.

A limited number of tickets are available for $50 per person and may be purchased by calling 336.627.1127.

MAY 2011 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, PAGE 23 ¶

Paddling Snow Creek The Dan River Basin Association's First Saturday Outing on May 7, 2011 will be a paddle trip on the Dan River in Stokes County. Covering just over 5 miles, the float will begin at Snow Creek Access and end at Hemlock Golf Course Access.

Will Truslow, expert paddler and past president of the Association, will coordinate the trip.

Participants are asked to meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Snow Creek Access about 200 yards west of Dodgetown Road Bridge on Pitzer Road (GPS 36.4026, 80.1404) to unload boats and gear and set the shuttle.

For boat rentals and shuttle, contact Three Rivers Outfitters, 336-627-6215 or 276-340-3983, www.3-r-o.com, or Dan River Company, 336-593-2628, www.danrivercompany.com.

History and legend abound on this section of the river, which is characterized by high bluffs forested with hardwoods and stands of stately hemlock trees.

Just upstream of the put-in is the frame of the Pitzer Steel Truss Bridge, dating from 1918.

About half a mile below Snow

Creek is Thompson's Fish Dam, which has remnants of a rare wooden slat trap. According to "An Insider's Guide to the Dan River," a "heavy timber frame, about eight feet square, formed a grid of slats" to trap fish channeled into the trap by a veeshaped low rock wall.

At least two branches of the Great Wagon Road forded the river at shoals on this section, and caves are said to have been used

by Confederate draft dodgers.

Rock formations and uncommon Carolina hemlock stands have received recognition as the Dan River Cliffs natural heritage area.

According to Trip Coordinator Will Truslow, "This section of the Dan has the last of the really high bluffs before the river winds on into the Piedmont. Some are about 150 feet high."

The most spectacular is Davis Bluff, a dramatic rock face on river left where huge boulders lie in the water at the base of the cliff. Legend says that a member of the Davis family fell to his death from the road on top. To this day, the cliff is known as

Mount Horrible.

The Dan River in this section is rated mostly as Class 1, but the remains of a former Duke Power dam, dynamited in 1975, create a sometimes challenging Class 2 rapid. Fortunately, it is located within sight of the take-out ramp at Hemlock Golf Course.

Participants are asked to meet at 10:00 at the Snow Creek Access on Pitzer Road. They should arrange to supply boat, paddles, life jackets, water and lunch; wear water-shedding artificial fabric or wool (not cotton, and certainly not blue jeans); and provide a back-up change of clothing. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver.

Directions: At intersection of NC 8 and NC 89 3 miles south of Danbury, NC, turn northeast onto Dodgetown Road. Drive about 4 miles, cross Dan River. Immediately turn left onto Pitzer Road. Snow Creek Access on the left 200 yards.

Driving south from Virginia on US 220, turn west on NC 770 to Sandy Ridge. Turn south on NC 704 to Dodgetown. Turn right onto Dodgetown Road and drive about 4 miles. Just before crossing the Dan River, turn right onto Pitzer Road. Snow Creek Access is on the left in about 200 yards.

Outings and meetings of the Dan River Basin Association are open to the public without charge.

For more information about the trip, contact trip coordinator Will Truslow, 336-5471903, willtruslow@hotmail.com .

A Breath of Fresh Air -- DRBA Welcomes New Executive Director "Going green and protecting the environment are not only good for the earth, but good for people, too," says Tiffany Haworth, new executive director of the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA). "We all know that fresh air, clean water and exercise can help our bodies, but what people may not realize is that preservation of our natural resources is also good for our economy. It can draw businesses and tourists to the area, making our communities economically stronger."

Haworth, a native of Ohio with a degree from Rutgers University, has experience working in both the corporate and non-profit worlds in Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. Since 2004 she has been with the United Way in Martinsville, where she has created new partnerships and programs to achieve community outcomes and has conducted workshops and training for dozens of organizations and businesses.

"DRBA's Board and staff welcome Tiffany to Team DRBA and look forward to working together to further the Association's mission and vision," says Wayne Kirkpatrick, DRBA President.

"Her experience with non-profit and private businesses will be a great asset for the entire Dan River region."

"We've gotten to know Tiffany through her workshops and consultations with our board and staff," says T Butler, corporate secretary of DRBA. "We know what an excellent leader she is, and we're delighted to welcome her to lead our organization. We have full confidence that she will help DRBA grow in new ways, continuing and building on the great work and dedication of our wonderful staff and volunteers."

A frequent user of new trails that DRBA has helped to build in Martinsville and Henry County, Haworth notes, "Once you experience the beauty of our natural resources and understand the cul-

tural history that makes this region unique, you can't help but want to support the efforts of DRBA. "And yes, building trails and caring for the water quality of our rivers and streams will get you wet and dirty," she continues, "but it feels good to be doing something that makes such a positive difference. I'm looking forward to sharing that experience with every person, in every community, that DRBA serves."

DRBA serves a sixteen-county Piedmont region spanning the North Carolina - Virginia border, all united by the Dan River and its tributaries. Founded in 2002 to preserve and promote the region's natural and cultural resources, DRBA is headquartered in Eden, NC, with offices in Collinsville, VA, and Danbury and Yanceyville, NC. DRBA's first executive director, Katherine Mull, retired this spring. Tiffany Haworth assumes the position on

May 2.

Haworth comments, "Every person living in the Dan River region has benefited from DRBA's work in keeping the rivers and streams that provide our drinking water clean, constructing walking trails for recreation and health, and providing educational programs for children such as Trout in the Classroom. I hope to continue and expand its work so that every adult and child can experience the wonder of the natural beauty of our region."

Looking ahead, Haworth says, "I am so looking forward to joining the highly experienced DRBA team. I share the same passion as the board, the staff and the volunteers in continuing to preserve our natural resources and care for our rivers and streams so that future generations can enjoy outdoor adventures and learn about our local heritage and cultural treasures."

From The Desks Of CITY HALL City relocates recycling site

By Rodney Carter, Superintendent of Solid Waste

When the lease for the city’s recycling site at the Eden Mall expired, we began searching for a suitable replacement. Turns out we didn’t have to look far. The relocated site is now at the municipal building housing city hall and the police department at the corner of Pierce Street and Stadium Drive. Recycle plastic, news and mixed paper, tin and aluminum in the containers located in the back parking lot closest to the Pierce Street entrance. Cardboard and glass are not collected at this site and must instead be taken to the main recycling center on Mebane Bridge Road. If you don’t live or work near this location, you may find one of our other recycling sites more convenient to use. They are located on Henry Street, Main Street, Orchard Drive, J-Mart at Virginia Street and Aiken Road, and Oak Street at The Boulevard.

If you have any questions about recycling, please call the Solid Waste Division at 627-7789.

Code enforcement works for community’s vitality

By Kelly Stultz, Director of Planning and Inspections

It’s spring. The grass is growing and everyone is getting out in their yards. This is also a busy time of year for our department with local code enforcement. The city enforces regulations that deal with grass and weeds, housing code violations, accumulations of debris, junk cars and building violations.

Once grass or other vegetation is 12 inches high it becomes a violation. If a notice is sent the property owner would have 15 days to mow it and if it has not been cared for the city will have it done. The costs of this abatement would be the responsibility of the property owner. Any other nuisance violations follow the same procedures.

Our junk car ordinance limits a residential lot to having one junk motor vehicle stored on the lot. This one vehicle must be stored behind the house and completely covered.

The vitality of our community depends on maintenance of neighborhoods and businesses. If you would like to report a potential violation or if you need more information, please give the Planning & Inspections Department a call at 623-2110, option 2.

Meet your Eden city employees: Jonathan Gourley – Eden Police Department He’s worn several different hats as a city employee but Jonathan Gourley has finally put on Gourley the one he’s been striving for. Gourley has joined the Eden Police Department as a full-time patrol officer. In the past five years, he has served the Eden community as a part-time patrol officer, part-time firefighter and volunteer firefighter.

He’s content with the position he’s earned, citing that he likes his coworkers and enjoys learning new things every day.

Gourley is the son of Dot Shelton and Wesley Gourley and is a native of Reidsville. He now lives in Eden. He enjoys four-wheeling and spending time with his children. Asked about his plans for the future, Gourley said he just wants to make every day count.

Vision Van May 5, 2011-As spring cleaning gets under way, the Evening Lions are asking people to look through dresser drawers and closets for used eyeglasses and donate them to the Lions Recycle For Sight program.

RIBFEST May 14, 2011 - The Evening Lions Club will be collecting used prescription eyeglasses and prescription and non-prescription sunglasses as part of a unique recycling program. The collected glasses will be cleaned and prepared for distribution in developing countries where eye care is often unaffordable and inaccessible.

“We need everyone to donate their used eyeglasses,” said Jim Bush, President of the Evening Lions Club. “In most developing countries, an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s wages and a single eye doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people.”

The donated glasses will be shipped to a regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center where they will be cleaned, categorized by prescription and prepared for distribution by Lions and other groups.

To donate used glasses (including sunglasses and reading glasses), place them in the specially marked Lions Recycle For Sight collection boxes located at WalMart or bring to the Vision Van May 5th or to Freedom Park May 14th.

The Eden Evening Lions Club meets the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month at Santana’s Restaurant at 6:30PM. Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs.

Unique program takes on cyber criminals

810 Washington Street, Eden, NC 27288

In a home drive-by theft, Shanine Messick’s identity was stolen. At Bank Business, hackers removed sensitive data contained in 33 employees’ files as well as financial information from the files of all 1200 of the bank’s customers. Pornography has been circulated from a local home, name withheld pending further investigation.

These crimes did not happen, but they are real. Every day technologically savvy criminals are committing cyber crimes, often from the comfort of their homes. All it takes is skill, knowledge, practice and the right equipment.

The percentage of people exposed to or victimized by a cyber criminal is shockingly high. As computer crimes grow, so does the need for qualified, technologically savvy fraud/crime investigators.

These individuals must know how cyber crimes are committed and how to detect them.

Students in criminal justice technology financial crime/computer fraud, a degree program at Rockingham Community College, are being trained to offer front line defense in the fight against cyber crimes; they are learning how to investigate computer crimes in order to catch the perpetrators. In this unique program, students study financial criminal activity and computer investigative security procedures from a law enforcement perspective. They study forensic accounting, constitutional law, network security troubleshooting, criminology, courts and evidence, ethics, and more.

No one sits passively through this course. Students must take an active part in learning criminal behavior and conducting investigations. In this course, they learn to protect those without the skills or knowledge to protect themselves.

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life

Market Enhancements given to Farmers Market Rockingham County Farmers Market, located on the Upper Piedmont Research Station--adjacent to historic Chinqua Penn--has received market enhancements from the USDA-NIFA Farmers' Market Promotion Program (FMPP). A new permanent sign is being erected on the site; and new tents, tables, and chairs will enable the market to have more special events to promote local foods and farmers.

On Friday, March 11, 2011, the Rockingham County Farmers Market welcomed representatives from NC A&T University. Present were the School of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences Dean, Dr. Donald McDowell; the Project Director, Dr. Osei Yeboah, Associate Professor & Interim Director, L. C. Cooper International Trade Center; Co-Project Director, Dr. Paula Faulkner, Assistant Professor; and the Administrative Assistant to the Center, Ms. Sandra Simmons.

Deborah Crumpton, President of the Rockingham County Farmers Market, says "We are looking forward to our best year yet at RCFM. Our market has been self-sustaining by participating farmers since 2005." Dr. Joe French, Superintendent of the Upper Piedmont Research Station agrees, "This will really help move our market to another level of visibility for the entire community while supporting local agriculture."

Brenda Sutton, Rockingham County Extension Director, notes that the market is the only farmers market in the area that accepts WIC vouchers and EBT cards. The market is committed to making good local foods accessible to all citizens.

Scout Clubhouse Suffers from Storm Damage The storms of April took their toll on several areas of the state, but locally one of the casualties was the clubhouse of Madison Boy Scout Troup 540, located at 102 Tidball Avenue, which had their building damaged and their supply travel trailer totally destroyed.

The troop, kids and parents, plan on doing all the work themselves to repair the damage from a fallen, but the supplies and materials will take their toll on the checkbook. Scout Master Van Hurd said there simply isn’t money for this contingency. With the fundraisers they have the funds are to help make sure anyone who wants to join will have the funds to do so, none was really in excess enough to pay for these repairs.

The troop would appreciate any help they can get from the community, whether in supplies, materials, money or skills to do with fixing a roof and broken chimney, which was partially pulled away from the structure.

If you have any information or can offer help call Hurd at 336706-0606 or 336-427-0888.

Morehead Memorial Hospital staff recently received their first shipment of produce from PiedmontLocalFood.com, a new “online” farmer’s market launched by the Rockingham County Local Food Coalition, Inc., in partnership with the Rockingham County Business & Technology Center and Rockingham County Cooperative Extension.

The PiedmontLocalFood.com project was designed to help local farmers sell sustainable agricultural products to potentially high volume buyers. Specifically, the project focuses on helping local farmers sell to restaurants and corporate buying clubs.

Last summer, Morehead Memorial Hospital developed an initiative to provide healthier eating options to its staff through access to locally-grown, fresh food products. Through cooperation between Morehead’s Food Services Department and Piedmont Local Food staff, a seasonal onsite farmer’s market was established on the hospital grounds in front of the hospital Dining Room which provides a

Morehead Vice President of Operations Steve Kleckowski assists with the first delivery of PiedmontLocalFood.com.

Employees Ann Hanline and Tina Kirkman were among the first hospital staff to order local produce through a new “online” farmer’s market launched by the Rockingham County Local Food Coalition, Inc., in partnership with the Rockingham County Business & Technology Center and Rockingham County Cooperative Extension.

limited variety of fresh products to hospital staff.

The PiedmontLocalFood.com project enhances the onsite farmer’s market by expanding the number of participating farmers to more than 30 and providing access to locally produced vegetables and baked good year round. With this increase in the number of participating farmers also comes a substantial increase in the variety of fresh food made available to Morehead employees.

How it Works Hospital staff can place orders online at PiedmontLocalFood.com and it is delivered to the hospital in a refrigerated truck once a week for pickup onsite. Food ordered is picked within 24 hours of delivery, guaranteeing the freshest food possible, all from farms within about a 50-mile radius of the hospital. This is much fresher than food that travels 1,500 miles over the course of more than a week, which is typical of grocery store “fresh” farm products. Beyond that, Morehead employees have the ability to order 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing a significant level of buying convenience.

According to Mark Wells,

executive director of the Rockingham County Business & Technology Center, all food listed on PiedmontLocalFood.com is verified by Cooperative Extension staff to be grown on the respective farm, guaranteeing all listed food as truly local.

“Once off the farm, the quality of food products is checked first by the Piedmont Local Food project manager, and the buyer then has the ability to reject food that does not meet their expectations,” he said. “Much effort is expended to ensure all food sold through PiedmontLocalFood.com is local and of high quality.”

Morehead Memorial Hospital’s management team has embraced the project as a way to impact the eating habits, and thereby lifestyles, of its employees while at work and at home.

“Research has shown that many life-threatening illnesses can be prevented by lifestyle changes,” said Steve Kleckowski, vice president of operations at Morehead Memorial Hospital. “The onsite farmer’s market and PiedmontLocalFood.com are two great opportunities to enable staff to purchase fresh produce so that we can all be healthier and enjoy local produce at the same time.”

Rockingham County Arts Council accepting subgrant applications Rockingham County Arts Council is now accepting applications for North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program subgrants through June 30, 2011.

Since 1977, the North Carolina Arts Council’s Grassroots Arts Program has provided North Carolina citizens access to quality arts experiences.

Using a per capita based formula, the program provides funding for the arts in all 100 counties of the state through partnerships with local arts councils.

Rockingham County Arts Council serves as the North Carolina Arts Council’s partner in awarding subgrants to local organizations for arts programs in Rockingham County.

Applications are available for non-profit organizations whose purpose is to promote and develop diverse cultural arts programming in Rockingham County.

Funding priority is given to qualified arts organizations (theaters, galleries, choral societies, festivals), arts in education programs conducted by qualified artists, and other community organizations that provide arts programs in the county. Grassroots funds are not generally awarded to arts organizations that receive funding through the North Carolina Arts Council’s State Arts Resources. Projects must occur between July 1, 2011 – May 15, 2012.

Application forms and grant guidelines are available on the Rockingham County Arts Council website at www.artsinrockingham.org or may be picked up at the Rockingham County Arts Council office Monday,

Thursday & Friday between 11am-2pm. Rockingham County Arts Council will also mail applications and guidelines upon request. Applications must be received no later than 5pm, June 30, 2011.

Rockingham County Arts Council is also hosting a Grassroots Arts Program Grant Workshop to assist interested applicants in preparing competitive grants on May 19 at 4pm.

New and past applicants are required to attend. Grant applications are evaluated by a diverse panel of community members and voted on by Rockingham County Arts Council Board of Directors. Awards are announced in September each year.

For questions or more information, contact Rockingham County Arts Council at 336.349.4039 or email info@artsinrockingham.org

Rockingham County Aging, Disability and Transit... A Blessing To The Community Hungry and lonely. That’s what hundreds in our community could be every day, but thanks to those who volunteer for the “Meals on Wheels” program, they never go hungry, and actually have loving human contact everyday.

In April the Rockingham County Aging, Disability & Transit Services welcomed their many volunteers to a breakfast at Golden Corral in Reidsville honoring all they do for the community. The breakfast was generously provided for by BB&T. Lee Covington recognized their special guests and presented the Volunteer Board, Helen Bondurant, Harold Vaden and Bonnie Nelson as well as the 260 staff members of the program.

The Meals on Wheels program provided some 35,000 meals last year alone to shut-ins who would possibly go without were it not for the volunteers time.

Eden Mayor John Grogan, guest speaker said, “I am honored to be asked to be part of Meals on Wheels.” He had the chance to see what volunteers do during this year’s Mayors For Meals

North Carolina Community Foundation activates statewide Disaster Relief Fund to support storm, tornado victims The

North

Carolina

Community Foundation (NCCF) has activated its statewide Disaster Relief Fund to support relief efforts related to the April 16 tornadoes and storms that created devastation in more than 20 counties in the central and eastern regions of the state, according to an announcement made today by Grants Board Chair Rodney E. Martin.

Credit card donations can be made online through the NCCF website via the “Give Now” button or under the “Giving” tab at nccommunityfoundation.org or by downloading a contribution form from the site and mailing or faxing it to NCCF offices. (The fax number is 919-828-5495. The

form or checks can be mailed to NCCF at 4601 Six Forks Road, Suite 524, Raleigh, NC 27609).

Please designate your gift for “Disaster Relief.” All gifts are tax-deductible.

All funds will go directly to nonprofit organizations serving the needs of local victims in counties served by the NCCF. Local affiliate foundations will determine the nonprofit agency/agencies that are the best and most efficient means to provide immediate relief for victims of storms in their areas. No portion of the NCCF’s Disaster Relief Fund will be used for the Foundation’s administrative or operational expenses, which the Foundation is also encouraging among local recipient agencies.

“Our hearts go out to our neighbors and friends who have suffered losses throughout so many counties in North Carolina due to this horrendous storm,” said NCCF CEO Jennifer Tolle Whiteside. “Our network of affiliate foundations will ensure that any contributions we collect for the NCCF Disaster Relief Fund are quickly and effectively distributed to those nonprofit agencies that can serve the greatest needs in our partner communities,” she said.

For more information visit nccommunityfoundation.org, contact the NCCF headquarters office in Raleigh at 800-2019533 or email questions to info@nccommunityfoundation.org .

About NCCF The NCCF is the single statewide community foundation serving North Carolina and has made nearly $63 million in grants since its inception in 1988. With more than $130 million in assets, the NCCF sustains 1,000 endowments established to provide long-term support of a broad range of community needs, nonprofit organizations, institutions and scholarships. The NCCF partners with 60 affiliate foundations to provide local resource allocation and community assistance in 66 counties across the state. An important component of the NCCF’s mission is to ensure that rural philanthropy has a voice at local, regional and national levels. For more information, visit nccommunityfoundation.org and Facebook.

Eden Cook shares sugar free applesauce cake recipe in national book Eden hometown cook Bill Snead is sharing his Sugar Free Applesauce Cake recipe with thousands of others at Just A Pinch Recipe Club, the new online social community for cooks in hometown America at www.justapinch.com.

Snead is one of several area residents participating in the club, known as "America's Great Recipe Swap". Members can post their own "family tested and approved" recipes, try recipes submitted by other club members, print hundreds of grocery coupons and enter recipe contests. They also have the opportunity to utilize a personal online recipe box to save recipes, compile grocery lists and plan meals. In addition, members can create and join discussion groups to chat about recipes, share cooking tips and build relationships as if they are sitting around one big kitchen table.

"We continually add new features to the club based on the feedback of our members," says Just A Pinch Food Editor Janet

Tharpe. "It's because of people like Bill Snead, who is proud to share his family's favorite recipes with other hometown cooks, that the club has become so popular and is growing so fast."

Snead's Sugar Free Applesauce Cake recipe, along with thousands of others, can be viewed, printed and shared at no charge through the recipe club.

"My wife made this cake for my uncle who was a diabetic. He always looked forward to us visiting and bringing him this cake," says Snead.

Founded in 2010, Just A Pinch Recipe Club offers free memberships and premium perks. Join us in the kitchen at www.justapinch.com.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the seniors who TOOK The melody out of music The pride out of appearance, The courtesy out of driving, The romance out of love, The commitment out of marriage, The responsibility out of parenthood, The togetherness out of the family, The learning out of education, The service out of patriotism, The Golden Rule from rulers, The Nativity scene out of cities, The civility out of behavior, The refinement out of language, The dedication out of employment, The prudence out of spending, The ambition out of achievement or God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

We do understand the meaning of patriotism and those who have fought and died for our country.

Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner?

What about the last verse of My Country 'tis of Thee?

"Our father's God to thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing.

Long may our land be bright, With freedom's Holy light.

Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King."

Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!

YES, I'M A SENIOR! I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps. with a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

I'm a walking storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR and I think I am having the time of my life!

Now if I could only remember who gave this to me.

Spread the laughter -Share the cheer Let's be happy while we're here.
