Randolph Telephone!Celebrates 60 Years!This year marks the 60th anniversary for Randolph Telephone Membership Corporation. In the early 1950’s it became evident that there was a need for telephone service in the rural communities of central North Carolina. Larger telephone companies ignored the region—just because they thought the rural communities didn’t have enough population to make the investment worthwhile. So a handful of concerned and dedicated people living in the sparsely populated areas of Randolph, Chatham and Moore Counties banded together for a common dream—a hope that one day their area would have the same reliable communications as the larger cities. They gathered funds, signed petitions, and got membership enrollments from their friends and family. They put in countless hours and faced many setbacks. But the fruits of their labor were seen when the Secretary of the State of North Carolina granted a Certificate of Incorporation on May 13, 1954 through the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority. It was on that day that a new force in rural telecommunications emerged. Its name was Randolph Telephone Membership Corporation. In May of 1956, Randolph Telephone Membership Corporation opened its doors for business in a three-room block building, heated by an oil stove, on the corner of Hwy 64 and 42 in Asheboro with only a manager and one employee as its staff. William H. Trogdon was named the first General Manager and Peggy C. Kivett was the Secretary-Bookkeeper. It was from that small office building where Randolph Telephone began to take shape. !!

On June 1, 1957, when Alvin Shaw, the cooperative’s first vice president stood before a large assemblage in the Grange Hall in Farmer placed a long-distance call to Raleigh, where the state REA chairman waited for the first telephone call in the history of Randolph Telephone Membership Corporation to go through! From that moment, everything started to fall into place. In that same year, RTMC cut over its first exchange, called the “Martha Exchange” in Farmer. The exchange had 97 telephones. All of the wires were above ground and eight people shared a party line. !!On January 1, 1958, the Bennett exchange was added along with the Coleridge exchange in November of 1963. In 1964 an Amendment was approved from the State to permit RTMC to extend service to Davidson and Montgomery counties and in 1966 the High Falls and Badin Lake exchanges came into existence with Pisgah following in 1973 and Jackson Creek in 1976. As the company continued to grow, so did their staff and they moved into a larger building in 1979 on Old Cox Road. !!In 1985, the Farmer and Badin Lake exchanges became the first exchanges to receive digital switching. This was a momentous occasion and from there, began the necessary first step toward building a network of fiber-optic cable. By 1990 the Fiber-optics was cutover from RTMC exchanges to Coleridge, creating the first link in a fiber network, or “fiber ring.” On September 26, 1994, Randolph Telephone Membership Corp acquired Randolph Telephone Company, an independent commercial service provider based in Liberty.!Story Continued On Page 22!

Patterson Cottage Museum Corner!-Brenda Heindl, Committee Member!On North Greensboro Street where the Liberty Tire and Auto business is, used to be the site of the Liberty Milling Company. The Liberty Milling Company was a roller mill. A roller mill had two large cylinders that pressed materials such as grain between the cylinders, crushing the grain to a varying consistencies. The building was a large wooden structure (photo included) where farmers brought their products to be milled and locals could buy flour and feed for their animals. The business was once owned by JF Pickett and later Edward A. Caudle. A receipt from the business (photo included) shows they milled Liberty Belle Flour, corn meal, bran, and shipstuff. The Bulletin of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture from 1911 de-fined “shipstuff” as a mixture of wheat products, which of-ten included “bran, middlings, and reground bran.”We are looking for additional photos and information about the Liberty Roller Mill. Do you have any memories to share about the mill? Do you have any photos of the Liberty Roller Mill?!

THE MUSEUM REOPENS ON !SATURDAY, MAY 17! 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.!

We’re still rounding up photos of places, people, and events in and around Liberty- can you help us out? For more information, e-mail: [email protected] or contact one of the following committee members: Warren Dixon: 336-622-2731 Brenda Heindl: 336-483-1231!

RCC Foundation Announces 2014 Presidential Scholars!Five outstanding Randolph County high school students have been chosen in a competitive process to become Presidential Scholars at Randolph Community College for the 2014-2015 school year. Emily Nichole Allred of Providence Grove High School, Morgan Blair Brackett of Southwestern Randolph High School, Taylor Addison Coble of Eastern Randolph High School, Christina “Crissy” Chanty Nutt of Faith Christian School, and DeAnna Nicole Shumaker of Eastern Randolph High School will receive two-year RCC scholarships through the Presiden-tial Scholars program funded by the Randolph Community College Foundation.!            High school students from public, private, and home schools throughout Randolph County were invited to apply for the scholarships. Thirteen students who met the preliminary requirements were invited to attend a Presidential Scholars Day at RCC, where they learned more about the College and were interviewed by a committee of faculty and staff members. Ten finalists were chosen and were invited back for a second interview with RCC President Robert Shackleford Jr., who made the final choice of five recipients.!Students’ academic records and extracurricular/community activities weighed heavily in the selection of recipients, as did the interviews.!Emily Allred of Franklinville, who is expected to enroll in the Radiography program at RCC, has been active in the BETA Club and HOSA Club at Providence Grove High School. She is also involved in many activities with her church, Whites Memorial Baptist, including the church choir, music leader for Vacation Bible School, and the Adopt A Highway program. One of her references said that for her graduation project, “Emily chose to help her community. She took a leadership position as she organized a kickball tournament (Kicks for Kids) and raised enough money to purchase 163 pairs of shoes for individuals in need.” Her career goals include help-ing cancer patients through radiology and to become a medical missionary to Third World countries.!Taylor Coble of Staley is interested in local politics, with aspirations for holding public office in the future. She plans to study in RCC’s Associate in Arts (College Transfer) program and wants to double major in Spanish and Political Science before continuing to law school at the Univer-sity of Virginia to earn a degree in international law. At Eastern Randolph High School, Coble has been a member of the Choral Ensemble, the FFA Public Speaking Program, and the Ran-dolph County Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council. One of her references noted that “Taylor was chosen by her peers to be the ‘Good Citizen’ representative of the senior class.” In addition, she has spent time working with the local American Legion Auxiliary post.!The RCC Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides a margin of excellence for Ran-dolph Community College by building a strong relationship with the local community, acquiring and managing contributions, and funding activities that support the College.!

The Reality of Kindergarten!Story By Jennifer Beasley!If you have a child who will be 5-years-old on or before August 31, 2014 and you have not yet registered for Kindergarten, it is not too late! If you have already reg-istered your child, then you are one step ahead of the game! Even though school is about to be out for summer, it is never too early to start learning about Kinder-garten and preparing your child for Kindergarten.!Kindergarten is changing! It does not look much like it did in the past. There are Smart Boards, handwriting programs, and even a new curriculum. Kindergarten students are learning things that will help them be successful in school and in life. !By the END of the Kindergarten year, students are expected to have various math skills knowledge. For example, by the end of the year, Kindergarten students should know how to count to 100 by ones and tens, solve addition and subtraction problems within 10, and identify and name 3-dimensional shapes (i.e. cubes, cones, etc.) to name a few.!They are also expected to have many literacy skills as well. For example, by the end of the Kindergarten year, students should know how to retell a story, answer questions about a story, use knowledge of letter sounds to read words, recognize upper and lower case letters, and produce rhyming words to name a few.!By the end of the Kindergarten year, students are expected to have appropriate language and writing skills. This includes forming letters correctly, using capital letters appropriately, using correct end punctuation, and writing with proper spac-ing.!Kindergarten students are also expected to have appropriate social skills and work habits. This includes being able to listen without interrupting, work independently, complete assigned tasks on time, and listen and follow directions.!Although these skills may seem overwhelming, these are skills that Kindergarten students need to have by the END of Kindergarten. And of course, Kindergarten teachers are here to help! Throughout the school year, Kindergarten teachers will support your child’s learning in the classroom. But, they still need your help at home. Your involvement as a parent can begin now by doing some of the following simple things:!

• Talking to your child about going to school!• Sharing a book with your child EVERYDAY!• Counting during everyday experiences (i.e.

walking up stairs)!• Giving your child opportunity to write!

In the June issue of the Liberty Leader, look for another article on more specific ways that you can help your child prepare for Kindergarten over the summer. For more information on preparing for Kindergarten please contact Jennifer Beasley, Lib-erty Parents as Teachers Program, at (336) 622-8282.

I would like to thank the people of Liberty and the surrounding communities for all the thoughts, prayers and cards that were sent to my family for the loss of my mother, Martha A.  Carter.  I would also like to thank you for all the cards and visits made to my mother while she was at Universal Healthcare in Ramseur. She truly loved the peo-ple she worked with years ago at Liberty School and she especially loved all the children she had as students. She loved each and every one of them in her special way. She always had fond memories of working at Liberty School and that is where she thought she was when she was at Universal. I have especially loved hearing the sto-ries recently about what my mother did for some-one's child when they had her during their kinder-garten years. I was so Blessed to have such a caring and loving mother.  She truly loved this community and the people who here. She also loved teaching piano to some of the young people of this little town. It gave her great pride to pass"her God-given talent on to others. I thank" you for giving your love and support to " my mother all those years.   "! Ellen C.  Luck

That same year, RTMC cutover to a new softswitch, allowing them to introduce new premium features such as Notify Plus (a phone tree service), and enhanced existing products, including voice-mail, auto attendant, conference calling and others. As 2013 came around the company realized that their customers wanted faster internet speeds with a bet-ter connection, so they invested more money into their “Fiber To The Home” campaign. !Randolph Telephone has been serving the community for over 60 years and their goal has been the same since day one, they strive to provide affordable, reliable services that improve their members’ daily lives and enable their communities to thrive. It has always been their passion to bring its customers, services equal to, if not better than those available in more heavily populated urban markets. They are dedicated to offering the highest level of service, not

just as any company serving the community, but as neighbors serving neighbors in the Piedmont region.!!They plan to continue serving the Piedmont region for years to come. Their history is rich, and they are proud of their success as a provider of information age technologies and services, which will bring benefits to the lives of those in the community and help to make the connection between our local and global interests.!!To learn how you can become a member of this cooperative, please call 336.622.7900.

Liberty National Day Of Prayer It was awesome to see the community to come together to seek God for our country, state, county, and city. What was great, was the pastors felt let to ask people from the church in lieu of the pastors praying. Boy, the prayers were powerful. The night started with Kevin Bowman welcoming everyone , fol-lowed by Mayor Terry Caviness giving proclamation. Prayers were given by locals, Garland Matthews, Joe Cuthbertson, Jim Parker Sr, Keith Bartell, Jay Ritch and Don Schenkel. Music was provided by Troi Nance, Brenna Dodson, Edwards Grove Youth Choir, and Jason Keller. To GOD be the GLORY.
