Imagine going in for a simpletonsillectomy and coming out withyour life changed forever. That’s whathappened to Eden’s Carol PulliamRorrer of Eden.

Robert Rorrerand CarolPulliam weretwo ordinaryMorehead Highstudents who metat the local skatingrink in Eden.They were marriedshortly after gradua-tion at St. Luke’sEpiscopal, in 1962. By1971 they were living in Greensborowith their two children. Carol wasonly 28 years old when she went intoMoses Cone for a simple tonsillecto-my and adenoidectomy.

According to the Rorrers, whomoved back to Eden near their fami-lies years ago, the doctor committedan off the scale medical malpracticeon Carol that resulted in tongue paral-ysis. It also resulted in years of trau-ma of a different kind, with lawyers,specialists and red tape.

They decided to write a book totell their side of the story in detail,and they named it Betrayed ByAttorneys, Because They Could. Thestory of how lawyers abandoned theirduty to them in the Rorrer’s hour ofneed. The Rorrers want others tolearn from their mis-take of trusting whatthe lawyers told themand putting theirlivelihood in attor-ney’s hands. Theirhope is to see thatsome rules and lawswill be changed toprevent this from hap-pening to others.

This rivetingbook with familiarnames and places keptin tact, will keep you

wondering, what is alayman to do in a sim-ple but highly techni-cal lawsuit; and howsomeone can be so bla-tant as to lie to yourface about what theysaid directly to yourface.

Benzinga.comrecently released abook review onBetrayed and said, “This inspir-ing true story examines howcorrupt the legal system is and

why it should be adjusted to alwaysprotect the just.”

Betrayed By Attorneys, BecauseThey Could by Robert & CarolRorrer is available on amazon.comand at www.rosedogbookstore.com.Or you can call 1-800-834-1803.

Already in the Eden Library, the cou-ple hopes to soon have the book inlocal book stores and is working tomake sure the public learns what canhappen in real life, to anyone whoputs their lives into the hand of oth-ers. For now there will be a fewcopies available for purchase atEden’s Own Journal by the secondweek of April, call 336-627-9234.

Letter To EditorA Good Nurse Resigns

Nancy Barnes, a very dedicated LPN in the ICCU at MoreheadMemorial Hospital, turned in her resignation recently. Nancy hasworked at the hospital for over thirty years. She has played a vital rolein the treatment of mant very sick patients during that time. Althoughit was her decision to resign, this decision came after being told by asupervisor that she wasn’t “carrying her weight” in the unit. Afterreading that, anyone who knows Nancy is probably laughing out loud.No one works any harder than Nancy Barnes! Her work ethic will behard to replace. Thanks, Nurse Nancy, for your many years of serviceto Morehead Hospital and our community.Cathy Merritt, Eden

Rebecca Cipriani,Rockingham County Register ofDeeds announces her participa-tion in a web-based systemoffered through the Vital RecordsDivision of the North CarolinaDepartment of Health andHuman Services. She is partici-pating, along with 29 other NorthCarolina Registers of Deeds, in aproject designed to offer citizensquicker access to their vitalrecords.

Beginning November 1,2010, the Rockingham CountyRegister of Deeds went live withthe statewide system known asVRAS (Vital RecordsAutomation System). This web-based application enables registerof deeds offices to search theState database and issue certifiedbirth abstracts for any NorthCarolina county of birth for peo-ple born in 1971 or after.(Exceptions: records restricted bystatute such as adoptions, andsome converted records.) Birthamendments, birth legitimations,and delayed birth registrationsfor this same time frame (1971 topresent) can also be processedthrough this system.

The statutory fees charged tothe customer by NC VitalRecords for the use of this system

are based on the type of servicerequested. For issuing a certifiedcopy of a birth abstract, the costis $24. Of this amount, $14 is for-warded to NC Vital Records and$10 is retained by the county.

“I am always thrilled when Ican offer additional services tosave our citizens time and money.This system saves our customersfrom having to drive to anotherNorth Carolina county to obtaintheir birth record, eliminatingtravel time and the costs associat-ed with that travel,” statesRebecca Cipriani, RockinghamCounty Register of Deeds.

According to Cipriani, “Wewere fortunate that we had thetechnology in place so there wasno up-front equipment costs toimplement this system.” To uti-lize the system, staff underwentextensive training and testing ofthe application. Prior to going“live” with the system, staffattended several training work-shops. These workshops provid-ed a comprehensive review of thefunctions of the system, as wellas hands-on training on the use ofthe available functionalities ofthe web-based system.

“This investment in trainingallows us to quickly search andissue birth records and enables afaster turnaround time for ourcustomers; no appointment isnecessary. The record can be pro-duced within minutes.”

“However, a commitment ofstaff resources was necessary forthe more advanced featuresbecause staff’s processing timehas increased due to their keying

data and information previouslyhandled at the State level. Inorder to offer the more advancedservices that include processingamendment applications, legiti-mations, and delayed birthsthrough VRAS, we are askingcustomers to make appointmentsso the time and attention neededfor these specialized services canbe provided. The State is current-ly experiencing a backlog ofapproximately 4-5 months.Registers are unhappy with theState’s current approval turn-around time. As more registersparticipate and we begin toassume more of the State’s work-load, we are hopeful this backlogcan be reduced. Our citizens needtheir information in a timelymanner and if our participation inVRAS helps to accomplish this,then it will be worthwhile.”

“Although participation inVRAS is optional at this time, itis the intent by North CarolinaVital Records for all offices to bea part of the system and opera-tional in the near future. This is adifficult system and has taken afew months for us to feel com-fortable navigating around in it. Iam proud of my staff’s commit-ment to embrace the technologyin order for our citizens to bene-fit,” says Cipriani.

For questions concerningthese and other eligible services,citizens are encouraged to con-tact the Rockingham CountyRegister of Deeds Office at (336)342-8820 or visit www.regis-terofdeeds.info for additionalinformation.

RCC goes tobacco-freeOn March 14, 201, Rockingham Community College became

a tobacco free campus and, thus, a healthier place for students, staffand visitors. The measure to become tobacco free was passed by theRCC Board of Trustees during their September 2010 meeting. Thepolicy that was passed prohibits smoking anywhere on campusgrounds.

The 100% tobacco free policy applies to everyone on campus,including administrators, students, faculty, staff, visitors, vendorsand contractors. The policy also prohibits the sale, distributionand/or advertisements of tobacco products on campus.

“This policy will help prevent exposure to the well-documenteddangers of secondhand smoke,” said Dr. Laura Gerald, executivedirector of the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund(HWTF), which works with colleges across the state to pass andimplement these policies.Currently, half of the 58 community colleges in North Carolina aretobacco free. Others are considering the measure.

Tobacco use has been identified as the number one preventablecause of premature death and disease in the country. Twenty-eightpercent of 18-24 year-old North Carolinians smoke representing thehighest smoking rate across all age groups in our state.

The college will also promote cessation resources like thephone-based coaching provided by QuitlineNC. Funded by theHWTF, this service is available free to all North Carolina residentsby calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).

The Farms to Fuels Program highlights the potential forRockingham County Schools to integrate hands-on alternative ener-gy training for its students.

“The current spike in gas prices has again shown us that ourdependence on foreign oil can be catastrophic to the American econ-omy, and especially so in rural areas like Rockingham County whereaverage incomes are lower”, stated Mark Wells, Executive Directorof the Rockingham County Business & Technology Center. “RedBirch Energy provides an excellent example of the innovative capac-

Controlling Allergies on a BudgetIn today's economy – where every dollar counts – budgeting can be about as painful as aroot canal. So, when it comes to something like allergy control, you may feel you don't

have anything left over to spend. Still, there's no need to suffer in silence. A few simple steps can make a big difference, while costing very little.To start, think about the things you can do that are free – or practically free. For

example, clear out items that might be collecting dust mites. Think extra pillows, throwrugs, or stuffed animals. Are hypoallergenic pillows and comforters or allergen-proof covers (starting around $65) too costly for you? Then keep bed linens and other items

around that can be washed in hot water. And, rent a steam cleaner for about $25 a day to steamroll those nasty little allergens lurking in carpets.

Speaking of cleaning, dust and pollen masks and nonlatex gloves are very low-costways to whip through the housework (or gardening) without exposing yourself to extra

allergens. Microfiber hypoallergenic cloths are specially designed to attract dust and allowyou to clean without the use of chemicals. They generally cost around $1 to $2 a piece. Usea diluted bleach solution to wipe down surfaces in bathrooms and other places. And, even if

you don't have a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner, don't forget to change your vacuum bag at least once a month. A washable rubber mat

at the front door will cut back on what gets tracked in.If you can spring for a portable air cleaner, make sure you find one that doesn't

produce ozone. This can make allergies worse. A good place to research these products is atthe website of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM)[www.cadr.org/]. Here, you can find information about all kinds air filtering

technologies, from HEPA to ionization. Short of buying an air cleaner, though, it might help to buy a pleated paper furnace

filter with a MERV rating of 7 to 13. These capture many of the allergens HEPA filters do and cost around $10. Electrostatic filters do a similar job and cost around $15.

Humidity is also an important factor when trying to control allergies. You want itlow enough to control dust mites, but not so low it irritates your nasal passages. A $15

hygrometer can help you see if you're in a safer range – between 30 and 50 percent humidity. Then you can use a humidifier or dehumidifier to achieve the right level.

To help keep those nasal passages clear, consider using a bulb syringe or neti pot ($15), filled with lukewarm saline.

Remember: Many of these products are available in our store. And, of course, don'tforget about over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medications, such as pills, eyedrops, and nasal

sprays. Check with me about any prescription medications that may now be available ascheaper OCT medications. For example, a wide range of Allegra products, the best-selling

antihistamine, is now available over the counter. And one final note: If you or your child needs allergy shots, you may be heartened

to learn this: A 10-year study showed that allergy shots reduce overall health care costs in children by one-third and prescription costs by 16 percent. A pretty sound investment.

"By hosting the exhibit, we hope we can reach out toRockingham County women and raise awareness of breast cancerand promote early detection,” said Stokes Ann Hunt, R.N., Directorof Community Outreach, Annie Penn Hospital.

A North Carolina college student created the Button Chair in1998 as a tribute to the women in the state who have battled breastcancer.

HUGE “PARTYPIZZAS”.


Course focusedon makingfallow landprofitable

Local citizens with unusedfarmland recently learned waysto help them make that landturn a profit. Through an eight-week agriculture entrepreneur-ial course offered throughRockingham CommunityCollege’s Small BusinessCenter, farmland owners dis-covered that business opportu-nities might lie right outsidetheir front door.According to the NC RuralEconomic DevelopmentCenter, the 871 farms inRockingham County average156 acres each. More than 90percent are family owned.Some are operating farms,some are not. The SBC coursewas geared to the farm ownersthe business of turning a profit.It is the only such course thathas been offered in the centralPiedmont.“Current trends such as the“Farm to Fork” initiative areproviding more entrepreneur-ship opportunities to farmers,”said course facilitator, DebiJoyce, an NC REAL trainedinstructor. “Our goal is to giveindividuals the business toolsthey need to turn their land intoprofitable businesses.”Those tools, closely examinedthrough the course textbook,“Building a SustainableBusiness,” comprise the com-ponents of a viable businessplan which include identifyingthe type of business a personwants, determining goals andhow to achieve them, andimplementing the plan. Toaccomplish those steps, courseparticipants devised budgetsand marketing strategies, anddetermined pricing, equipment,human resource needs, manage-ment strategy, operating strate-gy and more. Participants werealso made aware of agenciesand resources available to helpthem with their particularneeds.The course was made possibleby Regional AgribusinessDevelopment Initiative grantmoney dispersed from theTobacco Trust Fund through theNC Department of Agricultureand into the coffers of NCREAL (North Carolina RuralEntrepreneurship throughAction Learning), a non-profit“dedicated to helping bringentrepreneurship and smallbusiness to North Carolina.”Of those who took the agricul-ture entrepreneurial course, onehopes to sell sweet potatoes tostores, one sorghum molasses,another hopes to raise and sellchickens and yet another, whocurrently sells produce to arearestaurants, came for a betterunderstanding of the businessside of the venture.




The United Way ofRockingham County believes incelebrating heroes in the commu-nity who help to keep the countystrong and vibrant. “Some ofthem are volunteers, giving theirtime and talents to help others,”says Rick Hurley, United WayExecutive Director. “Some speakout for those in need. And othersgive their dollars to support pro-gramming that benefits all mem-bers of the community. Thisyear’s campaign goal of$925,000 is a challenge. Thosewho are giving to this effort areheroes, and we cannot thankthem enough!”

To celebrate their ‘GivingHeroes’, United Way ofRockingham County recentlyannounced the first round of five$50 debit card winners in the2010-11 campaign donors’ draw-ing. All community heroes whomaintained their prior years’ giv-ing or donated $50 or more forthe first time to the annual cam-paign by December 31, 2010were eligible to win.

Winners of the drawing are:Wanda Robertson of MoreheadHospital, Holly Dalton ofLeaksville Spray ElementarySchool, Mike and Sheila Scarverof Ball Incorporated, LynetteBrown of Frontier Spinning, andM J Herring of Ball Incorporated.

When asked why she givesto United Way, the first debit cardwinner, Wanda Robertson, wasquick to reply. “We’re put on thisearth to help other people.”

“I want to congratulate eachof these heroes who give theirdollars to United Way ofRockingham County to help ourcommunity,” states Hurley.“They are helping us to keepRockingham County strong dur-ing these tough times. With thedonations from our annual cam-paign, the lives of people inRockingham County areimproved. People have theirbasic needs met. Students aremore successful in school. Thecommunity is healthier and safer,and our older adults can live indignity and independence. That’swhat giving to the United Way ofRockingham County is allabout.”

Drawing for the final five$50 debit card winners will takeplace during the United Way’sAnnual Meeting and AwardsDinner on May 12 at the EdenCity Hall. The event will also bea celebration of heroes who givetheir time and talent throughUnited Way of RockinghamCounty to keep the communitystrong. All members of the com-munity can be United Way “Careand Give” Heroes by donating tothe campaign. Donations givenby April 30 are eligible for thedrawing in May.

United Way’s goal of$925,000 in the 2010-11 cam-paign is greatly needed in theRockingham County community.The funds are to provide assis-tance to community individualsin this time of increasing demandfor services. United WayPresident, Kerry Faunce,explains there are many people inour county who work in sur-rounding areas and designatetheir United Way donations backto our community. With the clos-ing of American Express in

Greensboro, he reports there willbe a decrease in designations forRockingham County this yearthat could mount to as much as$13,000. Yet, there will be morecommunity members in need ofassistance, especially in basicneeds such as food, housing andutilities.

The campaign has currentlyraised 84%, or $779,442, of its$925,000 goal. Even with desig-nations from other counties to bereported and several more cam-paigns still to be completed,bridging the gap to reach the goalremains uncertain. United Way islooking for more “Care andGive” heroes. Corporations whowill hold employee campaignsand other community individualswho will give whatever they areable could still help the agency toreach its goal by the close of thecampaign in late April.

“The solution to increasedneed here in our community is forus all to come together,” saysHurley. “Be a ‘hero’ to yourRockingham County neighborsand give what you can. If we alldo a little, we have a much betterchance of reaching our goal andaccomplishing much in our com-munity. With each donation, thecommunity is made stronger,healthier and safer. With eachdollar, neighbors are helpingneighbors.”

Panels generating more than electricity

Students at Rockingham Community College have beenimpacting the planet’s environment for almost two years. Now theirimpact is measurable, thanks to a computer software program, andeveryone can follow their impact online.Software continuously reveals the amount of electrical kilowatts

produced by the 57 photovoltaic solar panels the students installedoutside of their “training house” on campus as well as the amount ofcarbon dioxide offset by using solar power.

While “clean” energy is gaining prominence in the UnitedStates, it only accounts for 19 percent of the country’s total con-sumption. The remaining 81 percent is produced from fossil fuelswhich are under fire for the greenhouse gases they emit. These gasesproduce carbon dioxide which impacts the planet’s environment.

According to the software measuring the solar array at RCC, thepanels averaged a daily output of more than 37 kilowatts of electric-ity in January. This was a meter savings of over 690 pounds of car-bon dioxide, or 43 gallons of gas.

Monitoring solar output is important, but especially so in a pro-grams like RCC’s electrical/electronics technology in which studentsare being trained to install, maintain and monitor solar energy sys-tems. The output measure, such as the one at sunnyportal.com is akey component to this training.

Electrical/electronics instructor, Keith Elliott, said, “One of ourgoals at this point is to offer a sustainable energy certificate throughour program.”

The current daily output of the student-installed panels is justunder the 40 kilowatts needed to power an average home in NorthCarolina, according to statistics provided by Duke Energy, Inc.Saving 40 kilowatts per day results in an average daily offset of 67-87 pounds of carbon dioxide. By providing electricity for the train-ing house, the panels are saving the money for the county and state.To see how much electrical kilowatts produced by these panels visithttp://www.sunnyportal.com/Templates/PublicPage.aspx?page=034507b6-3575-49fa-ae66-6472e64a4f23

Little did two families knowbefore February that there wouldbe an unusual reunion comingout of tragedy. The untimelydeath of an Eden man wouldmean two young siblings wouldmeet for the first time.

Lilly Christian, a 9 year oldwho goes to DouglassElementary was told that her bio-logical father, Brad Abestz, hadpassed away and was preparingto go to the funeral, while at thesame time the same was happen-ing a few blocks away atDeShawn Edwards home.DeShawn, now 14, is a student atHolmes Middle School.

The two didn’t know theother even existed until the funer-al.

While Lilly always wanted abig brother to watch after her,DeShawn was the baby of hisfamily and spent a lot of his home

time playing videogames.

At the funeral thetwo were introduced toeach other, and wheneveryone compared thetwo, they discovered thelikenesses they shared.

Their smiles would light up aroom. The connection was imme-

diate and the newfoundsiblings have spent a lotof time together eversince.In one day, Lilly foundthe big brother she haddreamed about, andDeShawn had a little sis-ter to watch after. Hesoon bought video

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the rightpaths, but the final forming of a person's character lies intheir own hands." ~Anne Frank

My daughter loves the Disney Princesses. Her favorite onehas always been Ariel, the Little Mermaid. For her third birthday, I bought heran Ariel umbrella. It was a just a cheap child’s umbrella, but she loved it a lot.She loved it so much that it seems I have been buying an Ariel umbrella everysix months for the past two years. I’ve figured out that the average life-expectancy of a cheap umbrella in the hands of my daughter is about sixmonths. Each time one breaks, we have to get a new one, and no otherPrincess will do. She has carried Ariel proudly on every rainy day sincePreschool, and now, well into Kindergarten. Recently, she opened the umbrel-la only to find it broken. “Great. Way to go,” I thought. But when I saw thelook on her face, I knew that her heart was in worse shape than the umbrella.

We ventured out on that rainy Sunday to find a new one. I was secretlyhoping that we could find another Ariel, but trying to prepare her for the pos-sibility that it might be time to let Ariel go. I was worried that our lucky streakwas going to run out and she would have to settle for another character. Sureenough, there were no Ariel umbrellas, but I did find one with HannahMontana on it. “Oh, Look! Hannah will do,” I told her, thinking it would bean easy sell for a five-year-old. And it was, until she saw a larger one withSleeping Beauty on it. “Oh no, you don’t want that one. It’s way too big,” Itold her. But she was certain that she had grown enough for “a big-girl umbrel-la just like Mommy.” I opened it in the store to prove my point to her, that shereally couldn’t handle an umbrella that size, yet she was confident she could,so I let her try. I realized that with a little help and practice, she really couldopen and close it, and away we went with the big umbrella.

We practiced opening and closing it at home. Her little arms could bare-ly stretch to open it all the way, but she managed. She pinched a finger whentrying to close it, and she cried. She tried again and again. All afternoon shepracticed with that thing. At that point, I hoped it was going to last six hours,never mind six months. She learned to adjust her grasp to push it open and usethe release button to close it without pinching herself. For the next three days,she asked, “Do I get to use my new umbrella today? I really want it to rain!”Her big “rainy day” finally came and she couldn’t wait to take her umbrella toschool and show her friends. She was so excited when she jumped out of thecar at school that I didn’t even get my usual good-bye kiss.

She sprung from the car and rushed right up to two friends on the side-walk. I watched through the window as she talked a mile a minute, andalthough I couldn’t hear the conversation, I had a pretty good idea of how itwas going. I could see the excitement on her face, but she was having troublegetting it to stay open. As I peered through the window, a huge piece of myheart was aching while I watched my baby standing in the rain, desperatelytrying to open her new treasure. “Come on. Hold it like you practiced. Lord,please help her get that thing open,” I said out loud. By then, she had quite agathering of friends with their own umbrellas who had stopped to see hers, butshe still couldn’t get it completely open. The car line was moving and I had togo, but I watched impatiently in the mirror for as long as I could.

As a parent, even something this simple was hard for me. If I had beenstanding next to her, I could have helped her, or at least coached her throughit. My first instinct would have been to just open it for her, so that she couldshow her friends. At that moment, it hit me: I can’t always be there for her toopen the umbrella, to shield her from the rain, and see that she is successfulin her endeavors. At little points that come all too quickly in life, I have to stepback and let her have a go at things on her own. Although I drove her to schoolthat day, I had taken a “back seat” before her feet ever hit the sidewalk. Shedidn’t turn around to wave goodbye like usual, and she had no idea I contin-ued to watch and secretly cheer her on. The older I get, the more I recognizethe wisdom my daddy dispensed during my childhood and my turbulentteenage years. It must have been difficult for him to watch me make my ownchoices and inevitably, some mistakes. Some choices weren’t always the bestones, but in retrospect, I know that he was always watching and praying forme. Sometimes the greatest help a parent can give a child is not a “handout”or “help up.” The greatest help is to be a strong example. Thanks Daddy,you’ve always been that for me.

There will always be rainy days and times when even an umbrella (or aparent) can’t protect us from the storms of life. Sometimes the situations andplans we imagine don’t turn out the way hope or anticipate. No amount ofpreparation, planning, and rehearsing can insure that life’s situations willalways work in our favor. But chances are, if the parents have laid the ground-work for a strong foundation, a child will be able to stand on his own. As aparent, I try to give her all the necessary tools for success and the wisdom toknow how to use them. But ultimately, it will be up to her to define what hersuccess and future will be. She will make the choices to use the wisdom or“learn the hard way.” I’m not a perfect parent, but I know that my daughterwas the brightest and most beautiful thing I saw on that rainy day. I wasn’table to see if she got the umbrella open before I drove away, but I wonderedall day, because I knew how important it was to her. When I got home thatafternoon, she had a story to tell that shined with accomplishment.

The naming ceremony was the last official honor bestowed onthe college’s third president who retired effective March 1 after near-ly 15 years of service. RCC Board of Trustee Chair, Barbara Moore,said the board chose the gym as the appropriate one to bear Keys’name because of his commitment to scholarship and sportsmanship.Keys began the RCC intercollegiate athletics program at RCC in1999 with men’s soccer, women's soccer and men's basketball. In2000, women's volleyball was added and men’s baseball began in2001. In addition to bringing athletics to RCC, Keys was asked topreside over the NCCCS Intercollegiate Athletics Task Force in2007. This special task force was asked to examine the interest andissues concerning athletics in two-year colleges and to formulate astate policy concerning athletics.The RCC gymnasium was built in 1969. The 35,000 square-footgymnasium includes a basketball court, fitness center, locker rooms,classrooms offices and balconies. The building serves as the site forgraduation ceremonies, special events and collegiate sports competi-tions.Vice President of Student Development, Dr. Bob Lowdermilk, notedthat the college’s goal is to help students reach their potential and theend of that journey and celebration of their accomplishments takesplace in what is now known as the Robert C.

Morehead HospitalReceives $100,000 grant

Morehead MemorialHospital has been awarded a$100,000 grant from the NorthCarolina Golden LEAFFoundation to benefit the work ofits cancer center.

The funds will go toward thepurchase of new computer hard-ware and software for the hospi-tal’s CT scanner, which will beused to provide treatment plan-ning for cancer patients undergo-ing radiation therapy at the hospi-tal’s Smith-McMichael CancerCenter.

The grant application wassubmitted to the Golden LEAF’sRural Hope program earlier inthe year by the MoreheadMemorial Hospital Foundation,working collaboratively withhospital administration and thecancer center staff.

The Rural Hope programwas developed to provide fund-ing for capital equipment, andconstruction needs of rural hospi-tals located in Tier One countieswhich had a history of tobaccofarming. Rockingham County isdesignated a Tier 1 county by theNC Department of Commerce.The state’s 41 most distressedcounties are designated as Tier 1;the next 39 as Tier 2; and the 20least distressed as Tier 3.

In addition to being locatedin a Tier 1 county with a historyof tobacco farming, MoreheadMemorial Hospital also hadshown that this improvementwould help to create or retainnew employment and provide apositive financial benefit.


March 15 was officiallyNational Ag Day, but AgricultureCommissioner Steve Troxlerwants North Carolinians to thinkabout agriculture more than justonce a year.

“Every day should be agday,” Troxler said. “Agricultureprovides the food we eat, theclothes we wear and many otherthings we use in our daily lives.

“We all need to understandhow food, fiber and renewable-resource products are produced,”he said. “We should value theessential role of agriculture inmaintaining a strong economy,and appreciate the role agricul-ture plays in providing safe,abundant and affordable prod-ucts.”

Agriculture and agribusinessmake up North Carolina’s lead-ing industry, generating $74 bil-lion for the economy andaccounting for nearly 700,000jobs. North Carolina is thenation’s leading producer ofsweet potatoes and tobacco, and

ranks among the leaders inChristmas trees, hogs, trout,turkeys, cucumbers and strawber-ries.

North Carolina’s populationnow numbers 9.5 million people,an 18 percent increase over thepast decade. This populationgrowth has coincided with adecline in the number of farms inthe state. North Carolina current-ly has about 52,000 farms, downfrom 59,000 in 1997, accordingto the U.S. Department ofAgriculture.

A few generations ago, mostNorth Carolinians were directlyinvolved in agriculture, or knewfamily or friends who worked init, Troxler said. Today, that isn’tthe case, as more NorthCarolinians live in urban areasand do not have a direct connec-tion to farming.

“With our state’s populationcontinuing to grow and change,we cannot lose sight of the factthat agriculture remains an inte-gral part of our economy,”

Troxler said. “North Carolina hasa lot of high-tech industries, butagriculture remains our economicfoundation.”

Governor Perdue hasmarked the Upper PiedmontResearch Station for closure inthe budget proposal she has sentto the NC Legislature. We feelthat this would be a terrible lossfor the citizens of RockinghamCounty and all of North Carolina.1 – The Chinqua-Penn WalkingTrail would be lost as a recre-ational benefit of the station. TheTrail has proved valuable not justfor those who walk it for pleasureand exercise, but also for manycitizens who walk it for therapyfor a variety of medical prob-lems. School groups and civicorganizations also use it.2 – Many agricultural researchprojects carried out at the stationbenefit North Carolina farmersby showing them how to produce

food and other crops more cheap-ly and efficiently. These savingsare passed on to consumers in theform of lower food prices.3 – Agriculture is the biggestincome producing industry inNorth Carolina. In these tougheconomic times, the state shouldsupport farmers with moreresearch, not less. A lot of thestate’s agricultural products go toother states and nations.Increasing farm income increasesour state’s income.4 – The station accounts for about$1,000,000 in cash flow inRockingham County throughwages and purchases. The jobsand economic benefits would belost if the station were closed.5 – Several of the station’s impor-tant research projects are price-

less and cannot be shifted else-where. These include research tomake beef production more effi-cient, using the prize-winningAngus herd maintained here for65 years, and research in no-tillfarming, underway here for 25years.

Please email Senator PhilBerger, [email protected];Rep. Bert Jones,[email protected]; [email protected] andtell them you wish to keep theUpper Piedmont ResearchStation Open. And please askyour friends and family to do soas well.

The Eden Preservation Society,the Rockingham CountyHistorical Society Museum andArchives, and the Eden HistoricalMuseum are presenting a CivilWar Symposium to be held inEden, NC on June 25th.

Seating is limited, so registerearly!

The subject of the sympo-sium is Capt. Thomas RobinsonSharp, who spent the last 30years of his life in what laterbecame the Draper section ofEden, NC. Under StonewallJackson, Sharp mastermindedone of the great railroad heists ofall time during the Civil War. OnMay 24, 1861, soldiers began toseize some 40 locomotives andnearly 400 railroad cars they hadaccumulated and relocated them130 miles over land. Read moreabout The Great Train Raid of1861 - Strasburg, Virginia.

Sharp was from a railroadfamily. His father was superin-tendant of several railroads inPennsylvania and Virginia.Thomas R. Sharp was assistantsuperintendent and later superin-tendent on numerous railroads

prior to the Civil War. Althoughborn in Pennsylvania, during thewar he became the military road

superintendent of theConfederate States of America,achieving the rank of captain.During this time, GeneralJackson recommended toGeneral Lee, and Lee toPresident Davis that Sharpbecome head of theQuartermaster Dept., althoughthis did not happen. Sharpbecame the mastermind behindthe Great Train Raid of 1861, theConfederates stealing of locomo-tives, cars, rails, telegraph wire,

etc. from the Baltimore and OhioRailroad, and the building of theCentreville Railroad, the firstConfederate government rail-road. He also worked in the rail-road shops in Raleigh, Charlotte,and Columbia, South Carolina.

After the war, Sharp contin-ued in the railroad business alongthe East coast, and even workedfor the B & O Railroad, the veryline he had robbed of equipmentduring the war!

About 1879, he bought over1400 acres of land in what is nowthe Draper section of Eden, NC,and developed a hamlet by thename of “Sharp, NC.” Eventhen, he continued working in therailroad business (including serv-ing as president of the Danville,Mocksville & SouthwesternRailroad Company), often leav-ing his wife and children to over-see the bustling plantation. Hedied in 1909 and is buried atLawson Cemetery in Eden, andhis wife, daughter and father-in-law are buried at Church of theEpiphany in Eden.

Foundation volunteers get in thegame of helping students

WENTWORTH – The Rockingham Community CollegeFoundation is one of the most active community college foundationsin North Carolina due to the generous support it receives from thecitizens of Rockingham County. For almost three decades the peo-ple of Rockingham County have given their time, talents, gifts,donations and pledges to the foundation. As a result, the foundationhas been able to financially support RCC students through grants,work-study programs, tutoring, awards and more. It supports facul-ty and staff through professional development opportunities and itsupports all citizens through cultural events, historical collectionsand more.

These were the key points made by RCC President, Dr. MichaelHelmick, as he addressed volunteers at the Foundation’s AnnualGiving Campaign kickoff event. The theme for this year's effort is “March Madness – Get in theGame!” The campaign set a goal to raise $185,000 by March 31.

“The public thinks everything offered at a community college ispaid for by the state,” said RCC Foundation President, EugeneRussell. “This is not true. Therefore, the foundation raises moneyfor the extras which help make RCC an exceptional college, butwhich aren’t covered by the state.”Russell shared how many campaigns since 1989 have seen volun-teers exceed the amounts they hoped to raise.Volunteers in this year’s campaign will be led by the following area

AS KTHEDEANBob PlainCommunity& WorkforceEducationDivisionRockingham Community College

Here is an important ques-tion: “What is the best way tokeep my current job or preparefor the future?”

The answer: Keep yourskills at the highest possiblelevel. Resist any urge to be com-placent.

As an employee, you may befeeling the pressure of the neweconomy; one in which compa-nies go in and out of markets,send operations elsewhere withno certainty of success, or fallvictim to poor decisions orchanging market needs.

Consider recent marketchanges: we all know Facebookbut few remember MySpace;popular synthetic materials yield-ed to an upsurge in popularity ofnatural products; Call Centers,deemed the great answer to cus-tomer service, shrank as con-sumers showed a marked prefer-ence for navigating companyweb sites themselves.

These examples point to acurrent and future job marketwhere we on average change jobsevery four years and will change

careers three to five times in aworking life. These are stunningexamples of our changing world.

Therefore, the best way toprotect your current position andprepare for future change is, as Isaid earlier, to keep your skills atthe highest possible level. Byhaving those skills, you may beable to help your employer withsome new activity. That abilitywill help keep you from beingone of the people left behind inthe workforce. What do I meanby that? In the office area, learnthe latest version of word orspreadsheet programs. If you area front line worker, learn aboutsupervision or quality. Becausesalespeople are being challengedin new ways, project manage-ment skills could enhance yourfuture.

Everyone in the workforcewill be more effective as anemployee once he/she under-stands this need for greateremployability skills diversity.

The Community andWorkforce Education Division(CWED) is prepared to help youacquire the skills you need. Ifyou have a busy schedule ormany responsibilities and too lit-tle time, we have an excellentvariety of online classes. And wehave a staff at CWED willing tohelp you.

At Rockingham CommunityCollege and all over RockinghamCounty, the Community andWorkforce Education Divisionprovides paths for people to gainthe skills to good careers!

To help volunteers get in the spirit of the campaign game, Dr. RobertKeys and Dr. Bob Lowdermilk, retired RCC president and vice pres-ident for student development, respectively, officiated a “free throwthrowdown” contest in which the area campaign chairs tried to sinka basket by shooting a basketball in a particularly challenging way.

While no one made their shot, they all scored entertainment points. The impetus behind the foundation’s work is helping students findsuccess, said RCC Foundation Director, Gaye Clifton.“Whether seeking a particular degree or passing a challengingcourse, our goal is to help students succeed,” said Clifton. “Thefunds raised by the Foundation help make that happen.

City of Reidsville moves to protect,ensure animals’ safety

New rules are now in effect to protect animals and ensure theirsafety within the Reidsville city limits.

The Reidsville City Council approved amendments to four ani-mal control ordinances earlier this year. The Reidsville PoliceDepartment has begun enforcement efforts, which are designed toprovide a better quality of life for outdoor pets.

Cities across the state have been considering the issue of tether-ing, which is defined by Reidsville City Ordinance as securing ananimal to an anchor point to restrain or confine the animal to adesired area by means of a fixed tether or a trolley system. The trol-ley system allows the animal to roam along a running cable line.The new regulations do not allow chains, ropes and non-cable wiresto secure animals, according to Police Chief Edd Hunt. As an exam-ple, he highlighted for Council members an incident where a dogsuffered from exposure to snow and foul weather around theChristmas holidays because it was tethered and unable to reach itsdog house, food or water bowl. These amended ordinances shouldhelp officers when inhumane treatment of animals is discovered, hesaid.The civil fines for violation of these ordinances are as follows: FirstViolation, $50.00; Second Violation, $100.00; and Third andSubsequent Violations, $200.00.The amended ordinances dealing with enclosures and tethering areparaphrased below. Copies of the complete revised animal controlordinances are available from Reidsville Police Officers, includingAnimal Control, as well as the City Clerk’s Office.

Section 3-6 EnclosuresOutdoor enclosures, defined as fences, pens, cages, buildings or

any structure utilized to confine or contain animals, must be at least100 square feet. Enclosures shall be maintained at all times in a cleanand sanitary condition so as not to constitute a public nuisance.Waste shall not be permitted to accumulate, but shall be removed anddisposed of in a sanitary and lawful manner.

Enclosures, shelters or tethered animals must not be nearer than100 feet from any residence located on adjacent property. Any ani-mal confined unattended outdoors must have proper protection fromthe weather. Animals must have adequate shade and shelter with aroof, floor and three sides to prevent exposure to the weather. Theshelter must be large enough to allow the animal to turn in a circlewithout touching the shelter walls. The shelter must contain dry bed-ding in the cooler months and adequate ventilation during the

WWII Traveling Exhibit Visits Reidsville Library

Traveling Exhibit Tells Unknown Story of German POWs Heldin Camps All Over the U.S. During WWII.

By the end of World War II some 425,000 German, Italian andJapanese prisoners of war (POWs) found themselves imprisoned inover 660 base and branch POW camps in almost all of the then-48United States and the territory of Alaska. Millions more Axis andAllied POWs were held in other camps in Europe, the Soviet Union,Canada, Australia and Africa. While Axis and Soviet POWs wereboth the perpetrators as well as victims of dictatorial governmentsand state-sponsored violence, POW experiences on all sides embodyageless and timely themes of war and peace, justice under arms andissues regarding human rights, international reconciliation and futureconflict avoidance.

The roughly 372,000 German POWs held in U.S Army-operat-ed camps across the United States were sent out to harvest or processcrops, build roads and waterways, fell trees, roof barns, erect silos,work in light non-military industry, lay city sewers and constructtract housing, wash U.S. Army laundry and do other practical

wartime tasks. With the high rate of 19th-century German immigra-tion to America, many of those who worked with POWs spoke tothem in their native tongue; some even had relatives or former neigh-bors among them. In the process, they formed significant, oftendecades-long friendships with “the enemy” and underwent consider-able changes as individuals and as a group – thus fundamentallyinfluencing postwar German values and institutions, as well asAmerican-German relations. A number of POWs even chose toimmigrate to the United States after the war.

Theaverage recovery time of a miss-ing individual is 30 minutes orless. The success rate is 100%with over 2,163 rescues acrossthe nation.

Project Lifesaver utilizes aone-ounce battery-poweredbracelet which is worn by theindividuals taking part in the pro-gram. The bracelet may be wornon the wrist or ankle and it emitsa personalized tracking signalevery second, 24 hours a day. Thesignal may be tracked on theground or in the air over severalmiles. When a participating indi-vidual is discovered missing, theProject Lifesaver team from theEden Police Department, withassistance from the Eden FireDepartment, will respond to thearea to locate the missing person.The ability to locate these indi-viduals in a timely manner andaid in their safe return home iswhat this program is all about.

Police to provide online crime mapBy Reece Pyrtle, Police Chief

Welcome to the future of law enforcement: No longer do you haveto walk into the lobby of the police department to see the sex offend-er map or search the halls of the department looking for an old-fash-ioned “pin” map representing various crimes and their locations. TheEden Police Department, along with all other law enforcement agen-cies in the county, recently contracted with the GeographicTechnologies Group to provide a portal from the city’s website to theMapNimbus website. Once at the website, you will be able to navigatethe easy-to-use site with a simple click of the mouse, searching byaddress or agency to view the crimes in the area. You can even searcha specific date range or specific crime. There will be limited informa-tion about a specific crime, which may be retrieved by clicking theicon on the map.

The MapNimbus website will also allow you to view sex offenderdata, with the ability to search for sex offenders near an address orother specific location. You will be able to click on the sex offendericon and view information about the offender. The site also offers adirect link to the state’s sex offender site.

We at the police department are excited about making this infor-mation more readily available to the public. We feel that by providingthis important and relevant information to our citizens, we strengthenour bond with the community. We know that keeping you informed isan important step in the on-going partnership between law enforce-ment and our citizens.

Look for a link to MapNimbus on the city’s website(www.EdenNC.us) coming in early April.

You Can Help our Community BeRed Cross ReadyInformational Session Held for Prospective ShelterLocations

The mission of the American Red Cross is to help people prevent,prepare for and respond to emergencies. During those times of disas-ter, individuals and families in need are our priority and to providefood and shelter for all. While the ways we provide our services havechanged over the years, the enduring commitment of the Red Cross tocommunities across the country has not. “Planning for disaster isimportant,” said Jana Nowell, Executive Director of the RockinghamCounty Chapter. “Whether it’s the Astrodome in Houston in the wakeof Hurricane Katrina where thousands were sheltered or a local shel-ter set up to house several dozen who were left homeless by an apart-ment fire, sheltering is an integral part of the everyday services theRed Cross provides.”

Chapters across the country are prepared to open shelters as need-ed within hours of a disaster. During the year, chapters identify andwork with hotels, school districts, places of worship and communityorganizations so these locations can be activated in response to aflood, fire or other disaster. Over the last several years theRockingham County Chapter has made considerable progress inbuilding its capacity to provide shelter and feeding services followinga disaster. It is critical that the Red Cross continue to build this capac-ity, and those of our communities, to directly serve our citizens duringtheir time of need.

The Rockingham County Chapter is currently recruiting for shel-ters in Rockingham County. By providing sheltering services follow-ing a disaster your organization or facility has stepped forward toserve our community and will be supported by the RockinghamCounty Chapter of the American Red Cross. If you are interested inbecoming a shelter site or just interested in learning more, theRockingham County Chapter will host a Shelter InformationalSession on Wednesday, May 11 at 2:00pm. Please RSVP at (336) 349-3434 by May 6, 2011.About the American Red Cross:The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and counsels victims of dis-asters; provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply; teaches lifesaving skills; and supports mil-itary members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a governmentagency – and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its human-itarian mission.

For The Fun Of ItLooking for a Hitman

There was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highlyclassified positions are hard to fill, and there’s a lot of testing involvedin filling the position.

After sending some applicants through the background checks,training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to twomen and a woman, but only one position was available.

The day came for the final test to see which person would get theextremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took oneof the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. We must knowthat you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances” they explained. “Inside this room, you will find yourwife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her.”

The man got a shocked look on his face and said, “You can’t beserious! I could never shoot my own wife!”

“Well,” says the CIA man, “You’re definitely not the right man forthis job then.”

They bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun.“We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what thecircumstances,” they explained to the second man. “Inside you willfind your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her.”

The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took thegun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then thedoor opened and the man came out of the room with tears in his eyes.“I tried, but I just couldn’t pull the trigger. I guess I’m not the rightman for the job.”

“No” the CIA man replied, “You don’t have what it takes.Take your wife and go home.”

Now only the woman is left to test.They lead her to the same door to the same room and hand her the

same gun. “We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you willfind your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him.”

The woman takes the gun and enters the room, closing the doorbehind her. Almost immediately, gunshots can be heard - one shotafter another after another. They then hear screaming, crashing andbanging on the walls for several minutes and then silence.

The door opens slowly and there stands the woman. She wipes thesweat from her brow and says “You guys didn’t tell me the gun wasloaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair!”

KidnappedWinthrop found the following ransom note slipped under his frontdoor: “if you ever want to see your wife alive again, bring $50,000 tothe 17th green at your country club tomorrow at 10:00am.”

But it was after 1:00pm by the time he arrived at the designatedmeeting spot.

A masked man stepped out from behind the bushes anddemanded, “You’re over three hours late. What took you so long?”

“Give me a break!” said Winthrop, pointing to his scorecard. “I’ma 27 handicap.”

Smart PillsA blonde signs up for research project testing “smart” pills. Amazingly, the pills work and the blonde becomes smarter. So she

dyes her hair and becomes a brunette.One day, she is out driving in the country and spots a farmer in his

field with his sheep. She decides to test out her new-found smartness,so she stops and walks up to the farmer. She says, “If I can correctlyguess how many sheep you have in your field, can I have one ofthem?”

The farmer, thinking it was a safe bet, says, “Sure.”She says, “578.”The farmer says, “Wow, that is correct. I guess you can pick out

your sheep.”So, the blonde picks out a sheep and puts it in the trunk of her car.But before she call pull away, the farmer says, “Wait. If I can

guess your original hair color, can I have my dog back?”.

The MightiestA lion woke up one morning

feeling rowdy. He went out andcornered a small monkey androared, “Who is mightiest of alljungle animals?”

The trembling monkey said,“You are, mighty lion!”

Later, the lion confronted adeer and bellowed, “Who ismightiest of all jungle animals?”

The terrified deer stammered, “Oh great lion, youare by far the mightiest animal inthe jungle!”

On a roll, the lion swaggeredup to an elephant and roared,“Who is mightiest of all jungleanimals?”

The elephant snatched up thelion with his trunk, slammed himagainst a tree, stomped on himand then ambled away.

The battered lion holleredafter the elephant, “Sheesh, justbecause you don’t know theanswer, you don’t have to get soupset.”.

My Summer VacationSummer was over and the

teacher was asking the classabout their vacations.

She turned to little Johnnyand asked what he did over theSummer. “We visited my grandmother in Minneapolis,Minnesota,” he said.

“That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word,” theteacher said, “Can you tell theclass how you spell that?”

Little Johnny thought aboutit and said, “Come to think of it,she lives in Ohio.”.

Trouble with plane enginesWhile cruising at 36,000 feet, the airplane shuddered, and a

passenger looked out the window."Oh no!" he screamed, "One of the engines just blew up!" Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly

the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side.

The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardessescouldn't maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyonethat there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanorseemed made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down asthe pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbedseveral packages from under the seats and began handing them to theflight attendants.

Each crew member attached the package to their backs. "Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "Aren't those parachutes?" The pilot confirmed that they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing

to worry about?" "There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're

going to get help."

First ThingA jolly department store

Santa Claus took a small girl onhis knee and asked, “Now tell methe first thing you plan to doChristmas morning.”

She thought, scratched herhead, and replied, “Wake Up.”Explain

After being punished for losing his temper, a little boyventured to say to his mother,“Please explain to me the differ-ence between my foul temper andyour worn nerves.”

AttentionTwo mothers were comparingchild-rearing notes. “I just can’tseem to get my children’s attention,” said one. “They stay mesmerized in front of the TVset. I say things to them and callfor them, and they’re oblivious toevery word.”

“Try sitting in an easy chairand looking like you’re relaxed,”said the other. “That gets mychildren’s attention without fail.”

TripletsWho were the famous triplets ofthe New Testament?First, Second, and Third John.

New Element DiscoveredA major research institution has just announced the

discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.The new element has been named “Governmentium.”Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75

deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it anatomic mass of 311.

These 311 particles are held together by forces calledmorons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.However, it can be detected, as it impedes every reaction

with which it comes into contact.A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to

take over 4 days to complete, when it would normally take less thana second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; it doesnot decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portionof the assistant neutrons and deputy neutron exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase overtime, since each reorganization will cause more morons to becomeneutrons, forming isodopes.

The characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientiststo believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach acertain quantity in concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is called “Critical Morass.”When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes

Administratium, an element which radiates just as much energy,since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons.

Broken ChainWe little knew that morning

that GOD was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you,the day GOD called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;and though we cannot see you,you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as GOD calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

In Loving Memory... Papa & Granny

Pete Crouch, owner of EdenDrug, located at 103 W. StadiumDrive, has started a “buy local”campaign. He distributed$2000.00 in $2.00 bills to his 35staff members as free money tospend at locally owned business-es. The rules are: They can’t putin their checking account or pay abill and they must spend it in 30days. Crouch defined locallyowned as the owner of the busi-ness must live in the community.They must also give 10% to acharity of their choice and if any-one asks about the program, theyhave to explain it. Eden Drugemployees will get a form withfour columns (date, amount,business and any reaction/story).The form lets Crouch knowwhich businesses benefitted. Asan incentive to spread this out asmuch as possible, Eden Drug willhold a contest to see who gets the

most local businesses on theirlist. "Two bucks does not go farthese days but it may keep local-ly owned businesses alive $2.00at a time". Pete also wanted toposition this as there can be anUpside to a Down Economy.

“If we work together tosupport local businesses, theywill keep this money in the localeconomy. We live here, our kidsgo to school here and every dol-lar counts. If we are going tohave strong cities and towns weneed strong locally owned busi-nesses. Our Fire fighters can't do

their job without our tax dollars,”he continued.

Eden Drug plans to keep$2.00 in their cash registers togive as change to customers, witha reminder to spend it at a locallyowned business if possible. Theyhope other local businesses thatreceive them, will in turn givethem as change, and mayberequest some of their own fromthe bank.

The Eden Drug staff has ahistory of supporting the localcommunity. Their staff has pro-vided food for the Red Cross,CCM and the Lords Pantry aswell as volunteered at the LordsPantry over the last year to helpthe community and to help themfeel a sense of pride in helpingother people.

GO FAR (Go Out For a Run) is a10-week exercise/running pro-gram developed in 2003 inresponse to the growing epidem-ic of childhood obesity. The GOFAR program consists of afterschool running clubs which com-bine twice weekly discussionsand activities about goal settingand good character with the useof physical activity and educationon healthy eating to empowerchildren to make healthy choicesat an early age which will helpthem choose healthier lifestylesas they grow and mature.

In its first year of implemen-tation, there are nine communitysites (Douglas Elem., DraperElem., Central Elem., Leaksville-Spray Elem., Wentworth Elem.,Southend Elem., LawsonvilleAvenue Elem., Eden Boys and

Girls Club, and Angelic MindsAfterschool program) and over160 children participating in theprogram. At the culmination ofthe GO FAR program, the chil-dren will participate in a 5-kilo-meter road race and/or a OneMile Fun Run and are encour-aged to invite family members toparticipate with them.

Rockingham County’s firstGO FAR 5K and One Mile FunRun are open to the public andwill be held on April 30th, 2011at Reidsville High School.

Why does it matter? TheFacts About Childhood Obesity• In North Carolina, over 30% ofchildren are either overweight orobese giving North Carolina the5th worst ranking in the UnitedStates for childhood obesity.• Rockingham County’s child-

hood obesity statistics are farworse than the state averages.• Overweight children have a 70-80% chance of becoming over-weight or obese adults. • Obesity in adulthood increasesthe risk of diabetes, high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, asth-ma, sleep apnea, arthritis, andgeneral poor health.• There are more than 25 scien-tific studies that show a positiverelationship between a child’slevel of physical activity as a fac-tor of overall health and academ-ic achievement. Children whoare more active and generallyhealthier tend to perform betteracademically.

“Locally owned businesses keep70% of the money in the localeconomy, national companies

You heard right. On April2nd Keith Henderson will bringElvis back to life with “Illusionsof the King”, his award winningshow, featuring Henderson’s

impersonation of Elvis. For more than 20 years,

Keith Henderson has broughtback the memories of Elvisthrough his show, "Illusions of

The King".Keith has composed a show

that captures the energy anddynamics of an Elvis concert andpossesses a stage presence thatdraws the audience to him. Notedfor his superior vocal talent,Keith takes pride that his perfor-mance is completely natural andthe delivery of each song is filledwith emotion, so that the audi-ence not only hears the music,but "experiences" the song.

In 2002 Keith won theGrand Prize in the $50,000Tribute to the King contest inBiloxi, Mississippi, beating outcountless competitors fromacross the World. He also won

the 1998, 1999, and 2000“Images of Elvis” competitionsin Council Bluffs, Iowa. Alongthe way, he's had the privilege ofperforming with Elvis’ originalback up singers the legendaryJordanaires and members of theStamps Quartet.

Keith performed his veryfirst “Illusions of The King” trib-ute show in 1978, making himone of the very first professionalElvis acts in the World. Hecaught the Elvis bug as a 3-year-old, listening to his grandmoth-er's Elvis records and singing

along. He practiced almost daily,developing his style of singingalong with those records andemulating Elvis moves he saw atthe local drive-in theater.

For Keith,the shows aredefinitely a fami-ly affair. Formany years, hisg r a n d m o t h e rmade his outfits,his mother stud-ded them, and hisfather helped bygiving himscarves. His wifeSarah handles scheduling and hisdaughter Lauren performs onstage with him. His son Chadhelps out in many ways. EvenLauren's husband Tyson helpswith setup for the show.

With a repertoire of hun-dreds of Elvis songs, no twoshows are ever the same.

"What I try to do is give the illu-sion of Elvis still on stage andbring back bits and pieces ofmemories that people havealready had or seen on television

and regeneratethose," hesays. "It’s atrue tribute toElvis."

S owhat buildingwill “Elvis”be in? Noneother thanB e s tAuditorium of

Morehead High School. The spe-cial musical event is a fundraiserfor the 2011 Spring BenefitSeries for the Best Auditorium.

The show begins at 7:30p.m. Tickets are available at theshow for only $10 for adults and$5 for students.

Rockingham agency for aging, tran-sit services outlines needs to localRotary Club

Lee Covington, executive director of Aging, Disability & TransitServices of Rockingham County (ADTSRC), said the need for seniorservices in Rockingham County exceeds available resources.

Covington provided an overview of the services provided by hisagency at a recent meeting of the Eden Rotary Club and explained thatsome services such as Meals on Wheels could be extended to moreindividuals if the financial resources were available. Operating inRockingham County since 1973, the private, non-profit agency (for-merly Council on Aging) provides nutritional and Medicaid servicesto senior citizens and the disabled, as well as a public access transitservice to contracted agencies and the general public. Program fund-ing comes from state and federal sources, the United Way ofRockingham County and fees charged for some services.

According to Covington, with Rockingham County's elderly pop-ulation expected to double over the next 25 years and already existingwaiting lists, ADTS is striving to meet the growing demand for ser-vices and is constantly looking for opportunities to meet unmet needs.

The agency's headquarters is located at 105 Lawsonville Avenuein Reidsville. For more information on the agency's services and vol-unteer opportunities, contact ADTSRC at (336) 349-2343.

March was NationalColorectal Cancer AwarenessMonth. According to theAmerican Cancer Society, col-orectal cancer is the third mostcommonly diagnosed cancer andthe third leading cause of cancerdeath in both men and women inthe United States. The diseasedevelops from precancerouspolyps in the colon or rectum,and occurs as a result of errors inthe way cells grow and repair thelining of the colon. The risk of aman having colorectal cancer inhis lifetime is about 1 in 19; for awoman, it is about 1 in 20.

“Unfortunately, there are noearly warning signs for colorectalcancer. When symptoms dooccur, they may include blood inthe stool, abdominal pain, achange in bowel habits (constipa-tion or diarrhea), unexplainedweight loss, or extreme fatigue,”says Gastroenterologist Dr.Najeeb Rehman at MoreheadMemorial Hospital.

“Getting screened for col-orectal cancer routinely can sig-nificantly reduce your risk ofdeveloping the cancer,” he says.“Because more than 90 percentof cases are diagnosed in thoseover the age of 50, it is smart tobegin regular screenings whenthat milestone is reached. Ahealthy lifestyle can also go along way toward preventing thedisease.”

As of 2007, U.S. annualincidence and mortality rates forcolorectal cancer have bothdropped substantially from 1975rates. Beth Buckley, ClinicalOperations practice leader atQuorum Health Resources(QHR) reported: “It has beenestimated that half of this declinecan be attributed to changes inrisk factors, and half to increasesin screening for colorectal can-cer.” In 1987, only about 35 per-cent of American adults in therecommended age range under-went screening; by 2008, thisnumber had increased to 63 per-cent.

Dr. Rehman recommendsthe following steps to help pre-

vent colorectal cancer: Get Screened. As of age 50,

make a commitment to regularscreenings for colorectal cancer.There are several different typesof screening tests that may becombined or used alone, includ-ing:• Colonoscopy (every 10 years)• High-sensitivity fecal occultblood test (annual) • Flexible sigmoidoscopy (everyfive years)• Virtual Colonoscopy (every fiveyears)

Know your risk. Individualsat a higher than normal risk forcolorectal cancer may need tobegin screening at an earlier age.If you have a first degree relativewho has suffered from colorectalpolyps or colorectal cancerbefore age 60, a personal historyof polyps, inflammatory boweldisease, or Lynch Syndrome talkto your doctor about gettingscreened today.

Eat Healthy. Medicalexperts agree that one of the bestways to reduce your chances ofdeveloping colorectal cancer is tomaintain a diet low in animal fatsand high in fruits, vegetables andwhole grains.

Get Moving. Studies showthat those who are physicallyactive are 24 percent less likely todevelop colorectal cancer thanthose who are not. The AmericanCancer Society recommendsexercising at least 30 minutes aday, several days per week.

Maintain a Healthy Weight.Studies show that your body typecan influence your risk for devel-oping colorectal cancer. Thosewith an “apple” shape and thosecarrying extra weight around thewaist are at greatest risk.

Go Tobacco Free. Researchshows a link between smokingand colorectal cancer (becauseinhaled or swallowed tobaccosmoke transports carcinogens tothe colon). Tobacco use has alsobeen shown to increase polypsize.

Take Your Vitamin D. TheAmerican Cancer Society sug-gests that Vitamin D can reduce

the risk of developing colorectalcancer by helping the body getrid of its own highly toxic diges-tive acid. Oral calcium supple-ments can also aid in reducing therisk of developing the cancer.

To make an appointment atMorehead Memorial Hospital foryour colonoscopy call your pri-mary care physician.

To learn more about pre-venting and treating colorectalcancer, visit www.cancer.org andclick on Cancer Topics, thenColon and Rectal Cancer.

SIDEBAR:Three Myths About ColorectalCancerCourtesy: American CancerSociety

Myth #1: Colorectal cancer is aman’s disease. Truth: Colorectal cancer is just ascommon among women as men.Each year, about 150,000Americans are diagnosed withcolorectal cancer, and about50,000 die from the disease.

Myth #2: African Americans arenot at risk for colorectal cancer. Truth: African-American menand women are diagnosed withand die from colorectal cancer athigher rates than men and womenof any other U.S. racial or ethnicgroup. The reason for this is notyet understood.

Myth #3: It’s better not to gettested for colorectal cancer,because it’s deadly anyway. Truth: Colorectal cancer is oftenhighly treatable. If it is found andtreated early (while it is small andbefore it has spread), the 5-yearsurvival rate is about 90 percent.But because many people are notgetting tested, only about 4 out of10 are diagnosed at this earlystage when treatment is mostlikely to be successful.

It’s YourHome,

Not Theirs.Call Today!

I would like to evolve onthe topic of biodiversity, partic-ularly in the soil. Althoughthere are many different meth-ods of sustainable farming andgardening, the importance ofdiversity in the soil remains thesame. It is imperative that one'sdirt is teaming with life. Thereis an excellent book on thetopic, titled Teaming withMicrobes. I highly recommend

it, as well as the documentary dirt!, which the wholefamily can enjoy. Billions of kinds of bacteria,fungi, nematodes, earthworms,arthropods, insects, and birds in thesoil food web all help to balancepests, weeds, and fertilization natural-ly. Remember, all the plants we culti-vate grew just fine before the birth ofRoundup and DDT.

Think of soil as a living organ-ism, like ourselves, that is made up ofmany organs and tissues that all playa key role in its survival. A personcould not live without a stomach,heart, or lungs. Soil also requires allits components to function.Organisms in soil allow it to digest, circulate waterand nutrients, and breathe. Healthy diets for peopleconsist of a diverse array of foods that supply all thevitamins and nutrients we need. Soil is no different.Fertilizing your soil with N/P/K(Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium) is like eating ahamburger; bread, meat, and ketchup. It covers thebasics (carbohydrates, protein, vegetable) butwouldn't constitute a good diet if it was all you ate.Adding pesticides and herbicides make it a baconcheeseburger. It seems better at first but does moreharm than good. Organic N/P/K is like a gourmethamburger; the best bread, meat, and fresh toma-toes. However, even a diet of only gourmet ham-burgers will lead to severe deficiencies. This is the

reason most soil these days requires so much “med-ical attention.” Luckily, there's good news and moregood news.Natural soil amendments, organic or inorganic, arevery easy to come by and much less expensive thanthe alternatives. They are multifunctional, sustain-able, and can be be found or cultivated for free.They also contain the keystone of soil fertility; ben-eficial indigenous microorganisms (BIM), meaningthey are alive (unlike your N/P/K hamburger).Compost is the most popular. Everyone shouldcompost anything that didn't come from an oil refin-ery; food scraps, paper, cardboard, leaves, grassclippings, manure and more. Over time, it becomes

dirt... the best dirt, and you werethrowing it away. The key to goodcompost is its carbon to nitrogen(C:N) ratio.Once you have compost, you canmake compost tea. Choose yourfavorite instructional video onYouTube. Concentrating the nutri-ents and microbes allows all the lifein a handful of compost to be spreadover a large amount of soil and plantfoliage to help boost the desiredincrease in microbial activity andbiodiversity.

There are an infinite number of methods and recipesfor cultivating your own BIM fertilizers, fungicides,pesticides, etc. Gil Carandang is a wonderfulteacher of the subject. I suggest you research hiswork online. You can download a free essay of his(http://www.permaculture.org/nm/images/uploads/Indigenous_Microorganisms.pdf) which contains adozen homemade recipes for the only “medicines”he uses on his farm at all. It's a translation fromPhilippino, so excuse the grammar. I do hope youlook him up and enjoy the read. The more you putinto your soil, the more you will get out of it. Justmake sure you feed it a well balanced, local, organ-ic diet.

Gov. Bev Perdue today willannounce that visitors to NorthCarolina spent a record $17 bil-lion in 2010, an increase of 9 per-cent from 2009. The number washigher than the previous recordof $16.8 billion set in 2008. Thesixth most visited state in thenation, North Carolina gainednearly 2,000 tourism jobs in 2010while state tax revenues from vis-itor spending increased 12.6 per-cent and have increased 16.2 per-cent since 2007.“North Carolina’s natural andcultural treasures bring peopleand dollars into our state,” Gov.Perdue said during remarks at theN.C. Governor’s Conference onTourism and Hospitality inAsheville. “It’s a consistentlygrowing part of our economy.Visitors and vacationers spendmoney that helps localeconomies thrive and creates jobshere in North Carolina, which ismy number one priority.”More than 40,000 businesses inNorth Carolina directly provideproducts and services to travel-ers. Those visitors spend morethan $46.6 million per day in

North Carolina and contributenearly $4.1 million per day instate and local tax revenues as aresult of that spending, accordingto the U.S. Travel Association. Highlights include:• 2010 total visitor spending sawan increase of 9 percent to a

record $17 billion, up from $15.6billion in 2009.• 36.8 million people visitedNorth Carolina in 2010, a 2.5 per-cent increase from 2009. • The travel and tourism industrydirectly employs 185,500 NorthCarolinians, up 1 percent from2009. • Visitor spending directly gener-ated a total of more than $1.5 bil-lion in state and local tax rev-enues. State tax revenue totaledmore than $947 million and local

tax revenues were $546 millionas a direct result of visitor spend-ing.The visitor spending figures arethe preliminary results of anannual study conducted by theU.S. Travel Association. Thestudy uses sales and tax revenuedata, employment figures, andother travel statistics to deter-mine visitor spending in NorthCarolina, the amount of taxesgenerated by that spending, andthe amount of payroll andemployment directly supportedby that spending.“We are thrilled to have record-setting visitor spending fortourism in 2010,” said LynnMinges, assistant secretary fortourism, marketing and globalbranding for the North CarolinaDepartment of Commerce. “Thefact that tourism helped createjobs and grow North Carolina’seconomy in these tough econom-ic times is a testament to both thestrength of our tourism productand to the collaborative partner-ship of the North Carolina travelindustry.”

The kickoff for the CountyWide Food Drive andBloodmobile will be at 9 a.m.Saturday, April 9, at The Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints, 4751 N.C. 14, about a halfmile south of Eden.

City and county officialshave been invited to participateand issue proclamations for thefood drive.

Both events are sponsoredby The Committee of 100.

"Because of the tremendousneed in our county due to a highunemployment rate, our foodbanks are having difficulty inkeeping their shelves filled," saidBlake Dawson, chairman of TheCommittee of 100 which is spon-soring the two events. "The RedCross also needs blood donationsto meet its quotas since severalblood drives were cancelled dur-ing bad weather earlier in theyear.

"We hope to collect a largesupply of food for the foodpantries," he said.

At the kick-off, grocery bagswill be issued to church congre-gations which are asked to dis-tribute them to family members,neighbors, friends, relatives andco-workers. After the filled bags

are returned, they will be deliv-ered on April 23 to one of threecollection sites in the county:Leaksville Moravian Church,Eden; Zion Baptist Church,Reidsville and First BaptistChurch of Mayodan.

Youth volunteers will countand sort the food which will bedelivered to three area foodbanks:Cooperative Christian MinistryFood Bank; Reidsville OutreachMinistries and The Hands of GodFood Bank.

Area churches with theirown food banks are encouragedto do food drives within theircongregations to replenish theirfood banks.

Several county schools havebecome involved in the fooddrive, said Dawson."We hope other schools will con-tact us about helping our commu-nity in this time of need. Many ofthose families receiving foodfrom the food banks have chil-dren in our school system."

"I think the need for foodright now is as great as it has everbeen in Rockingham County,"said Nina Hylton, vice-presidentof the CCM. "About the only waywe are going to be able to provide

it is for all of us to work togeth-er."

Hylton said about 150 citi-zens are given food bags eachmonth through the CCM FoodPantry."We would appreciate any helpthat would be given to us at thistime," she said.

Reidsville OutreachMinistries serves about 280 fam-ilies each week, said PresidentClara Gunn."The number of requests haveincreased two-fold in the pastyear. Every can of food will be ablessing to someone with littlefood," she said.

The Hands of God providesfood on a regular basis through-out Madison, Mayodan andStoneville, said Steve Lawson,drive coordinator for westernRockingham County.

"We all know that with theeconomy the way it is now, theseneeds grow every year," he said."It seems like we have to havemore drives to keep up. A county-wide drive like this will helpevery one."

The blood drive will be from10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. April 23 atThe Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints. Anyone wish-

ing to register to give bloodshould contact Dawson.Volunteers from RockinghamCounty High School's HOSA willbe on hand to assist Red Crossworkers.

Planning committee mem-bers are contacting many church-es but because of the large num-ber of churches in the county,they are asking those wanting tojoin the project to contact BlakeDawson at 336-963-0256 or

email [email protected]; or Shannon Thorpe at336-791-3269 or [email protected] that have not been con-tacted can join by contactingDawson. Cash prizes of $100 willbe awarded to the high school,middle school and two elemen-tary schools collecting the mostfood.

The Dan River BasinAssociation's First SaturdayOuting on April 2, 2011 will cel-ebrate springtime with a return tothe water. The Smith River floatin Henry County, Virginia, willcover 5.2 miles from the BassettAccess to the newly openedGreat Road Access. CharlieWilliams, will coordinate the trip.

Participants are asked tomeet at 10:00 a.m. at the BassettCanoe Access, 271 Trent HillDrive, Bassett, VA (GPS36.76992,-80.00147) to unloadboats and gear and set the shuttle.

For boat rentals and shuttle,contact Smith River AdventureOutfitters, Call 276-252-0701,www.smithriveradventureoutfit-ters.com or Three RiversOutfitters, 336-627-6215, 276-340-3983, www.3-r-o.com.

The Bassett Canoe Access,opened in 2006, is located at thenow dormant J. D. Bassett ChairFactory. As the Smith runs

through the town of about 1,300residents, remnants of the pastremind paddlers of the river's his-tory. In the nineteenth century,Smith's River NavigationCompany built rock wing damsand sluices to enable long, nar-row batteaux to haul iron andgrain to market in Danville.

Shortly below the put-in,paddlers will pass the "LeaningTower of Bassett," one of theselater structures.

Just downstream is the thirdof six bridges that span this sec-tion of the river.

A short distance below thefifth bridge is Blackberry Creek,entering from river right. TheGreat Wagon Road crossed theSmith River nearby, providing aroute for settlers migratingthrough the region in days goneby.The take-out is at the Great RoadAccess, the Smith River's newestriver access point, which openedin September, 2010. SolutiaPerformance Films granted ease-ments for the access and for anadjacent 500-foot-long trail.Plant manager Joe Stultz says,"This is our way of giving backto the community." Outings and meetings of the Dan

River Basin Association are opento the public without charge.

For more information aboutthe trip, contact trip coordinatorCharlie Williams, 336-337-8843,[email protected]
