336-627-9234 • 336-613-0325 Fax 336-627-9225 lisadoss@edensown.com An unexpected gift from the White House arrived in Eden in November when the Obama family sent a Happy Birthday photo to Betty Finney. Finney worked at the White House for 14 years and retired 3 years ago this year.
Dr. Paul Sasser of Dayspring Family Medicine, Eden, received a great honor in November when he was awarded the 2010 Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service at a ceremony held in Raleigh, at the State Capitol, in the Old House Chamber. Beverly Perdue, Governor of North Carolina presided at the ceremony, and Elaine Marshall, Secretary of State, presented the Medallions. The Governors Award for Volunteer Service program has honored the true spirit of volunteerism in our state by recognizing those who make a significant contribution to their community though their volunteer service. With nine categories to choose from, one is chosen per county for the honor. Dr. Sasser, who received the Faith-Based Volunteerism award in the county, was chosen by the com-
mission to represent the entire county. Faith-Based Volunteers are those who volunteer though a faith-based community organization. Nominees may serve members of, or those outside,

C ITY C OUNCIL, CITY S TAFF S AV E TA X PAY E R M O N E Y At the November 16, 2010 Eden City Council meeting, the accounting firm of Rouse, Rouse, Penn and Rouse, presented its audit of the City of Eden 2009-2010(July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010) annual budget. Some of the findings from this audit included:
Visit Chinqua Penn During The Holidays Page 15
• $1.5 million less than they were budgeted was spent by City Departments during the fiscal year. This was due to a cost cutting program that each department implemented to reduce expenditures wherever possible in their respective budgets. • Over $2.3 million in grants was acquired by city staff. This includes $429,924 by the Eden Police Department, $359,353 by the Eden Fire Department, $760,723 in funds for water and sewer projects, and $750,000 for Indian Hills’ projects. In the audit report, City Manager Brad Corcoran stated, “Our staff has worked diligently for the past several years in attempting to secure federal and state funding assistance which in turn reduces the overall financial burden on our citizens.” At the October Eden City Council meeting, the City Councilmen Wayne Tuggle, Jim Burnette and Darryl Carter recommended a two year moratorium on water and sewer increases. The remaining City Council members voted to approve the measure. Eden city staff has not had a salary increase in two years in view of the current economic conditions, a factor in reducing budget costs. The Pierce Street roundabout that has improved public safety by reducing traffic on Hwy 14 was funded primarily from state grants. “I am proud of the work the city staff has done to reduce costs in recognition of the economic recession and the proposal for water and sewer increases to be delayed

¶ PAGE 2 EDEN’S OWN / COUNTY STAR, DECEMBER 2010 Letter to the Editor, The results are in, another campaign is behind us, and I accept the outcome. Along with my wife Libby and the rest of our family, I thank you for the honor and privilege of serving you. It wasn't the outcome we hoped for, but nonetheless it was part of a mood that swept the nation, with populist angst ousting many hard-working public servants. The challenges facing our state and nation are at historic levels, and we witnessed voters take their bigger frustrations out on local leaders. I thank my supporters -- too many to name individually in this letter -- who put our future above partisan labels and worked tirelessly despite the odds. I will forever be indebted to you, and I encourage you to stay encouraged and active. I graciously congratulate my opponent on a spirited campaign. While he and I disagreed on some issues, he and I share a faith in Rockingham County that is stronger than political differ-
ences. I commend him for a tough race and wish his family continued blessings. He now tackles the promises made along the campaign trail, and I wish him all the best. I offer him the services of my staff to make his transition as smooth as possible as he gets acquainted with Raleigh. I also extend my congratulations to all the other candidates who ran for office across our area. It's a sacrifice for candidates and their families, and our
democracy is stronger because of the commitment displayed and the willingness to throw your hat in the ring and serve the people. Now the real work begins. Today we come together, united as the people of Rockingham County, on a mission to jumpstart our economy, and strengthen the future for our children and grandchildren. I pledge to you that I will keep working for the betterment of our community, working to
Letter to the Editor On September 18, I was given the opportunity to be a member of the Triad Flight of Honor to Washington, DC, to view the old War II Memorial. In honor of Veterans’ Day, November 11, I wish publicly to thank Rotary International, WXII Channel 12, US Airways and the numerous volunteers involved in the accomplishment of this memorable trip. My veteran comrades, Louis Land, Bill Leffew, Allen McBride, and I are especially thankful to Harry Hudgens and his fellow employees of Miller Brewing Company in Eden who contributed from their wages to make this trip possible for us. With the economic difficulties in Rockingham County, as well we throughout the Triad, we appreciate their individual generosity in providing us with this unique and rewarding experience. Sincerely, Jimmy Davidson, 1845 Indian Trail, Eden
create jobs, bring more industry here, improve education, and protect our quality of life. Again, my deepest thanks for the trust that you have placed in me. Because our best days are ahead. May God bless you and yours. N.C. Rep. Nelson Cole House of Representatives, District 65

P.S. As always, I have an open door and a listening ear. Even if I'm not in the State House for the next term, I remain deeply invested in Rockingham County because it is my home and your home, and the home of our children and grandchildren. I pride myself on being accessible to you, and will continue to stay busy. Together, we will unify to jumpstart our economy, create jobs, keep families strong, protect our principles and our quality of life. Again, thank you for the privilege of serving you.

by two years,” stated Mayor John Grogan. This was echoed by Mayor Pro-Tem Wayne Tuggle who pointed out the over $1.5 million saved in the 2009-2010 budget. "I simply want the public to be aware that all the employees for the City of Eden are seriously making an effort to reduce the amount of money it takes to run the city. An Energy Plan has been implemented that has reduced electricity, gas, heating, air conditioning, etc. The City of Eden audit also shows that departments spent $1.5 million less than they were budgeted for the year. And, with the state and federal government reducing funding to our city as well as dealing with more unfunded mandates, our departments have secured more than $2.3 million in grants and loans. I am personally proud of their efforts to be conservative." More Savings this Year Less than six months into the current fiscal year, almost $2 million more in grant funding has been awarded to the Environmental Services Department and Planning and Inspections Department for water and sewer as well as streetscape projects. At this rate, the 2010-2011 grant awards will far exceed the $2.3 million city departments acquired last year. Grant funds to extend water and sewer services to the Berry Hill Regional Mega Park will be sought from the Golden Leaf Foundation as part of the $2 million it is providing each Tier #1 county in the state. That application will be submitted on December 3, 2010. For more information, contact City of Eden Accounting Coordinator Amy Winn at 623-2110.

In November Tommy Fleming’s Boy Scout Troop #567 visited the Cooperative Christian Ministries Food Pantry to learn more about CCM and see how the pantry functions. The boys did a three week food drive thru family, friends and neighbors. On November 22 the troop returned to the pantry which is located in the basement of Leaksville Moravian Church with their food donations and had a chance to help sort the food with the help of volunteers Dick and Dale Hallett. Because the pantry relies on the local churches for support and individual donations projects like this food drive make it possible to continue to help the people of Eden. The CCM thanks the boys for a job well done.

WENTWORTH – The selection process for the next president of Rockingham Community College is extensive. Therefore, when Dr. Robert Keys announced he would retire as the college’s president effective Jan. 1, 2011, the RCC Board of Trustees met with Dr. Scott Ralls, president of the North Carolina Community College System to discuss the process. Upon Ralls’ recommendation, the trustees contacted consulting firms experienced in assisting colleges with community college presidential searches. Following a special meeting on Aug. 25, the board chose the North Carolina Association of Community College Trustees and its Executive Director, Dr. Donny Hunter to assist with the search. Hunter helped the trustees develop a presidential profile of leadership characteristics, which can be viewed on the college’s website. In addition, ads for the position were placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education, the Community College Times, and on the North Carolina Community College System website and RCC website. October 18 was selected as the final date for candidates to submit applications. A Presidential Search Advisory Committee was then formed consisting of individuals from local industry, public education, health care, elected officials, the RCC board of Trustees and RCC faculty and staff. This group of 20 has been given the task of narrowing the submitted application pool to 12 semifinalist and then to the final six candidates who will be invited to the campus for personal interviews. The RCC Board of Trustees expects to choose the next president from the six finalists. The advisory committee is currently in the process of reviewing the submitted applications and has reviewed the applications and has narrowed the candidates to 12 semifinalists. The RCC Board of Trustees anticipates selecting RCC’s fourth president in January.

He talked about the very issues the Will of the People stand for which is giving government back to the citizens, government responsibility to the people, elected officials listening to the citizens, demanding answers and educating the voters. He stressed the importance of citizens getting involved such as the Will of the People and the importance of the upcoming November '10 elections. The applause and cheering during his talk was proof positive that the citizens of Rockingham County are engaged in the governing of our County and will continue to be involved.

JOHN’S-OSBORNE HOUSE One of Eden’s truly historic structures is on the Preservation Society’s Christmas Tour this year. The Johns-Osborne House at 1011 Center Church Road is undergoing a complete rejuvenation and restoration. Using local expert craftsmen in many trades, owners Guerrant and Janet Tredway are sparing no expense or care to see that the house is put back in absolutely pristine condition. The workmen have been at it for many weeks, and expect to have the house ready for the Preservation Society’s Christmas Tour on December 5th, and thereafter to be available for all kinds of special events. The Johns-Osborne House was built in 1850 for Dr. A. B. Johns, one of Eden’s more important “Founding Fathers.” Upon his death he left the property to his extraordinary daughter, Annie Eliza Johns, who distinguished herself as a compassionate nurse of Civil War wounded, a novelist, and as a dedicated churchwoman. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, and was very active in the Sunday School and other activities of the church, especially Sunday School for local unchurched children. A Civil War Trail plaque describing her nursing career stands today in the churchyard. Miss Johns deeded the house to her brother, Dr. A. B. Johns, Jr., and he and then his daughters lived there for many years. Various members of the D. F. Osborne family occupied it from about 1950 on, and finally it was acquired by Mr. Tredway. Some of the furniture has come from the King House, and everywhere Mr. Tredway has made an effort to use local materials and furnishings, such as Karastan rugs and King’s chandeliers. The newly installed kitchen cabinets are noteworthy in that they are made from cherry logs salvaged out of the river. It will be a rare treat indeed to see this magnificent home in full Christmas finery. THR SHAW HOUSE The neat dwelling on a rise at 208 Green Knolls Drive gives little hint from the outside what treasures are within. Doug and Betty Shaw have lived there a long time, and what hours they could spare from their Bible Book and Gift Shop they have obviously spent gathering collectible nineteenth and twentieth century Americana from far and wide, including not a few things from their own childhood. The effect is like walking through the middle of a museum exhibit, with interesting, beautiful, or utilitarian objects crowding on every side. Yet the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Add to this the lavish Christmas decorations throughout the house, including fully dressed trees, many beribboned wreaths, and almost innumerable Christmas figures, such as over 100 Byers’ Choice Carollers, and many Santas. The den is completely furnished with unusual and authentic pieces, such as a large dry sink china cabinet, a Hoosier kitchen cabinet that belonged to Betty’s
Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued from Page 8 People gave away two door prizes which were bank bags with gold coins in each. Norma Kelly gave away a beautiful large fall center piece. The winners were surprised elated as no one knew there would be such fantastic door prizes. Mr. Harrington spoke to the members as well and congratulated them on their continuing involvement in Will of the People and the importance of our goals. As usual, Mr. Harrington was both serious and humorous in his talk. He stressed the importance of citizens voting in November and the importance of the '10 elections. He reminded everyone that we are not only involved in Will of the People for ourselves but the future of our children and grandchildren. Dot Bush recognized all the volunteers who worked five festivals in a row to inform the people of the County about Will of the People. The volunteers did a very good presentation to citizens and signed up many new members. Their participation provided citizens an opportunity to learn about the committee first hand. Over 1500 brochures were handed out during the five festivals in the County. Will of the People was met with great interest at the festivals and especially in the western part of Rockingham County.

Anyone who would like to make monetary donations to assist the family in this difficult time is asked to contribute to the Pamela and Richard Willis Fire Fund at any State Employees Credit Union location in Rockingham County.

There are two full English silver tea sets and several large cut glass pieces, as well as more Christmas figurines. One bedroom is furnished with a handsome tall back Victorian bed with a matching bureau and a handmade (in Eden) chest of drawers, as well as two colorful Gone-with-the –Wind style lamps. Another bedroom holds a walnut poster bed, and in the corner a primitive American compartmentalized flour/meal/sugar chest. Another interesting piece is a bonnet chest, with spaces for bonnets, and drawers for gloves and shoes. A hotel style oak washstand with its own towel rack offsetting the mirror at the top is one more of the many other interesting and unusual pieces that fill this unique home. THE FARABEE “The Farabee,” at 1301 West Washington Street, offers a step back in time with its copious contents of mid-century memorabilia in a charming small cottage setting. The house was built in 1940 for Lloyd and Zelma Farabee and is still owned by the family. It is preserved as a homelike setting for catered luncheons and teas and has become extremely popular over the years.

Pictured left to right: NC Representative Nelson Cole, Nell Rose, Julie Ganis, Daniel Burton, Dr. Paul Sasser, Brenda Sutton, and Graham Pervier. Brenda Bryan Sutton is the Rockingham County Coordinator for the NC Volunteer Service Award. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of this program that showcases North Carolina’s most dedicated volunteers. Through the years, North Carolinians have proven their concern and compassion for their neighbors by volunteering in their local communities. Each county selects up to five individuals, businesses, and/or groups to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities. One of the five recipients is nominated to receive the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service. A local committee evaluates the nominations. Sutton made the following announcements at the Rockingham County Non-Profit Council Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon and 2010 Governors Volunteer Service Award Recognition on Wednesday, November 3, 2010: Youth Winner: Daniel Burton. Daniel has volunteered as Assistant Coach for Special Olympics for the past three years—since he was only 13 years old and in the 8th grade. Individual Winner: Julie Ganis. Julie has been a volunteer with the Eden Preservation Society since 2004. Senior Winner: Nell Rose. Nell Rose has volunteered with the Rockingham County Schools as a Children’s Advocate for 18 years—volunteering seven to eight hours daily for five days each week. Faith-Based Winner: Dr. Paul Sasser. Dr. Paul Sasser has been Chairman of the Fundraising Committee for the Rockingham Pregnancy Care Center since 2001. He is a wellrespected physician in Eden with a busy practice—who probably spends as many hours volunteering as he does at work. The highest level of recognition is the Governor’s Medallion Award. Sutton is proud to announce that Dr. Paul Sasser is one of twenty award recipients in North Carolina for 2010. Dr. Sasser and Ms. Sutton will be honored at a reception at the Executive Mansion on November 16, 2010, by Governor Beverly Perdue. Submitted by: Brenda B. Sutton, Rockingham County Cooperative Extension Director, Rockingham County Coordinator for NC Volunteer Service Award brenda_sutton@ncsu.edu

C ITIZENS F O R JO B S M E E T AT C ITY H ALL Citizens for Jobs, a Pittsylvania County group of citizens who support the collaboration between the City of Eden, City of Danville and Pittsylvania County on the 3,500 acre mega industrial park on Berry Hill Road outside of Eden, hosted a presentation on the mega park at Eden City Hall on Oct. 26. Pittsylvania County Administrator Dan Sleeper and his staff made a presentation on the progress of the mega park and its collaboration with the City of Eden for water and sewer resources. City of Eden Economic Development Director Mike Dougherty spoke about the mega park and other Eden industrial initiatives, including the expansions of Loparex, Gildan, significant investment of MillerCoors in the Eden brewery and the growth of Mabe Trucking Company. (Mabe was awarded the Carrier of the Year Award for 2009 by Dollar General. Mabe Trucking carries a significant amount of Dollar General freight from their South Boston, Va., distribution center.) Starting in 2001, Pittsylvania County began acquiring land along Berry Hill Road. The resulting 3,500 acre park is the largest in Virginia and the fifth largest along the east coast. It is designed to attract a “game changing” industry, such as an automobile manufacturer or steel production facility. The City of Eden is part of the regional partnership supporting this project because of its considerable water and sewer resources. The Oct. 26 meeting was an opportunity for Eden and Rockingham County citizens to learn more about the mega park project and to join Citizens for Jobs. Joining this group will enable citizens to learn about the group’s initiatives and support this regional partnership. Dougherty believes this type of grass-roots citizen group contributes to the success of such an innovative project. “For years, Eden and Rockingham County have competed with Southside Virginia. Now we are partnering with them for our mutual benefit. It is rewarding to see a group of citizens support this effort,” he said. For those wishing to learn more about Citizens for Jobs, visit www.citizensforjobs.org or sign up for the mailing list by emailing citizensforjobs@ gmail.com. The committee members of the 2nd Annual Tish Evans Roberson Fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and the Anita’s Angels Relay for Life Team humbly thank all the folks that helped make our fundraiser on 11/13 a HUGE SUCCESS through their donations of goods, services, and money contributions. Thank you to all those that came out to strike a blow in the war against cancer and also honor our beloved friend and family member, Tish Evans Roberson. A special thank you to the Eden Moose Lodge for allowing us to host our annual fundraiser in their facility. God Bless You All.

Have you heard about Medicare prescription drug coverage, but not quite sure how it works? Also called "Part D," this type of insurance helps you pay for prescription drugs at participating pharmacies like ours. No matter your health or income, you are eligible for it if you have Medicare. We can help you compare your drug costs and plans using the Medicare tool kit on their website. Please call for an appointment if you would like for us to help you “work through” this complicated process! To avoid a penalty, you need to sign up for it as soon as you become eligible for Medicare. (This is the period three months before and three months after your 65th birthday.) Even if you don't need a lot of medications now, you might later. That's why it makes sense to consider joining, so you'll pay a lower price in the future. Whether or not you choose Part D coverage depends in part on how good your current coverage is. If you're currently covered through your employer or union, they will provide information that tells you how much your current plan covers compared with Medicare. You can get Part D coverage in one of two ways: You can join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP). Or, or you can join a Medicare Advantage Plan (MA-PD) or another Medicare Health Plan that offers drug coverage. You get all your Medicare coverage, including Part D, through a Medicare Advantage Plan. Both brand-name and generic medications are covered under either plan. Available to you through private companies approved by Medicare, these plans vary in cost and the drugs covered. So choose a plan that works best for you. If you need more coverage, for example, you might choose a plan with a higher premium. You'll want to make sure the plan you choose covers the drugs you need. The list of drugs covered through the plan is called a formulary. If you want to, you can change your plan each year between November 15 and December 31. Then the new plan begins on January 1. Although Medicare doesn't cover all your drug costs, it can protect you if you have high or unexpected prescription drug bills. Monthly premiums range from $8 to $121 with a deductible and small copay for each drug. Premiums are the monthly cost you pay to join a drug plan. The deductible is the amount you pay for prescriptions before the plan kicks in. Copayments are the amount you pay after you've paid the full deductible. If you qualify for extra help due to limited resources, you may not have to pay a premium or deductible. To learn more about this, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. If you don't qualify for extra help, your drug plan may have what's called the "donut hole." This coverage gap is a period when you will have to pay for all your prescription drug costs yourself, unless you have a plan that offers some coverage during this gap. It begins once you and your plan have spent $2,830 on prescription drugs. After that, you continue to pay your monthly premium and pay for the next $4,550 of your drug costs. (These figures are for 2010.) In 2010, if you entered the ‘donut hole’ you will receive a one-time $250 rebate check if you are not already receiving Medicare Extra Help. These checks mailed mid-June. Once you reach your coverage gap limit, you pay a small amount for each of your drugs for the rest of the year. In 2011, if you reach your coverage gap, you will receive a 50% discount when buying Part D-covered brand-name prescriptions drugs. If you need more information to help you compare plans, go to www.medicare.gov/ or call 1-800-633-4226. We can also provide you with resources that might simplify things for you.

He also volunteers at the YMCA, homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity and First Presbyterian Church. According to the commission, “Dr. Sasser is a volunteer that makes a true difference.” The NC Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service was created in 1994 by Executive Order to develop and ethic of service and volunteerism in all citizens. Part of developing that ethic of serves is also to recognize and celebrate the outstanding accomplishments the volunteers achieve each day in communities across the state. The Governor’s Volunteer Service Award has been in existence since 1979, and in 2006 the Governor’s Medallion Award was created to highlight the special volunteer achievements of individuals, groups and organization in North Carolina, whether it is helping the elderly, tutoring children or protecting our environment.
D ISABILITY R IGHTS D ISCUSSED AT LION’S M EETING In November members of the Lunch Lion’s Club gathered at Whistle Jacket restaurant for their regular meeting. Robbie Johnson had invited the special guest speaker from Disability Rights of North Carolina (DRNC), Elaine Whitford, to explain the program to members. Whitford provided handouts to all members and guests as she spoke of the mission of the program, which is to help protect the legal rights of people with disabilities through individual and systems advocacy. DNRC, a protection and advocacy system (P&A) works for justice, and to uphold rights of those with disabilities to live free from harm in the community of their choice, which would in the best case scenario have that person living on their own and integrated into the community. Services are individualized and consistent with that person’s strengths and resources. It is a federally mandated system, existing in every state, which has several programs targeted to specific problem areas.

P RICE R O A D FIRE TA K E S H O M E
YOUR FLOWER CONNECTION... IN TO W N AND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
In early November Patrol Captain Tim Newman was travelling on the Price Road when observed a mobile home on fire. He also saw a lady in the roadway near the residence. He notified the fire department of the fire and directed his attention to the lady, Darlene Hooper. Ms. Hooper said she lived alone in the trailer and kept warm by using a kerosene heater. While in another room she heard some Hopper popping noises and then observed fire on the floor and wall. She became afraid, so she got her cell phone and exited the house to dial 911. That is when she saw Captain Newman. While waiting for the fire personnel to arrive, items stored in the residence began to explode. Ammunition, medical oxygen cylinders and stored kerosene were likely causes of the explosions. Members of the Leaksville, Shiloh, Stoneville, and City of Eden Fire Departments responded and eventually extinguished the fire. Fire Marshal Robert Cardwell said the structure was a total loss and the cause of the fire was not established. There are no injuries to report. The Eden chapter of the American Red Cross responded to the scene to assist Ms. Hooper with three days lodging, clothing and food necessities.

Traveling through Eden, you will notice homes and businesses have started decorating for the Christmas season. As you prepare to put up your own decor, keep this in mind: According to the most recent U.S. statistics available, around 250 home fires involve Christmas trees while another 170 home fires involve holiday lights. Follow these holiday decorating tips to ensure that your home does not suffer a tragedy this holiday season: TREE • If you purchase a live tree, make sure it is freshly cut. The needles should be green and should not break and the trunk should be sticky to the touch. You can identify an old tree by bouncing the trunk on the ground - if a lot of needles fall off, it's been cut too long and is a fire hazard. • Do not place your tree close to a heat source, including a heat vent. • Do not leave a live tree up longer than two weeks and in that time, keep the stand filled with water. • Make sure your artificial tree is flame retardant. LIGHTS • Inspect your Christmas lights before you plug them in. • Do not link more than three light strands, unless the directions indicate it is safe. • Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into an outlet. • Periodically check the wires they should not be warm to the touch. • Do not leave the lights on unattended! As always, if you have questions or need more information, please call the Eden Fire Department at 623-2110, option 9.

My left side was numb and my husband drove me home. He had made homemade soup for us for dinner. I ate the wonderful soup without crackers. He made tea for me. I sat in the recliner and sipped tea.

On my day off I scheduled a dentist appointment. It seems when I am asleep I clench my teeth. Because of clenching, I, over time had cracked a tooth! After assessing the crack my dentist determined that I had two choices, either extraction or a crown. I did not like either option. I had never had such a serious diagnosis in my life. I was hoping that the first crown I would get would be in heaven. The thought of having to get a needle almost caused me to faint. When it comes to needles, one side of my family are criers and the other side are screamers. I am a crying screamer. I tried to explain to the dentist how I did not think I could endure the procedure. He did not seem to understand how just thinking about it caused me to loose sleep. The waiting between the time I knew what I had to do and the date of the appointment was pretty awful. The day before my appointment I saw something shiny inside the mouth of one of my students. Not one but three CROWNS!!! I could hardly believe it! A child had endured what was reducing me to jelly. This little child explained that, “it wasn’t that bad”. I was told that it would not take long, that I would not feel anything and would be over before I realized it. The day of my appointment came and with courage born from knowing that a small child had gone through this, I drove to my destiny with my husband. The doctor came in and explained all the horrific stuff that could happen but statistically probably would not. My eyes began to water. He spoke of hitting nerves and the room seemed to spin. At
early. When I got to work and saw that kid who had endured three crowns in one day, I hugged her. “You are the bravest person in the world”, I told her. She laughed and asked me how I did. I was honest when I told her how scared I was. “But you did it anyway, I am proud of you.” “Thanks” I said. “You are welcome, that is what you say when we do math problems that scare us, that you are proud of us, it’s the same thing” she said. “I still have to get my permanent crown”, I whispered. “You’ll be ok” she said. I taught Math differently that day. Remember to be patient today. For what maybe no big deal to you maybe a trip to the dentist for someone else.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body has a shortage of insulin, a decreased ability to use insulin, or both. Insulin, a hormone, is important because it allows glucose (sugar) to enter our cells and be converted to energy. When diabetes is not controlled, glucose and fats remain in our blood and, over time, damage vital organs. Diabetes affects more than 23 million people (7.8% of the population) in the United States.1

“According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, almost one-infour hospital dollars go to treat people with diabetes.

(QHR). “In this day of out-ofcontrol healthcare costs, it’s in the interest of consumers, taxpayers and hospitals to fight diabetes in every way possible. We must encourage prevention through healthy living, and disease management through education and awareness.” The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes. While most cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented, it remains the leading cause of diabetes-related complications, such as blindness, non-traumatic amputations and chronic kidney failure, among adults. “Type 2 diabetes most commonly occurs in people over age 40, who are overweight. However, the disease has also started to appear more often in children because of the rise in obesity and lack of physical activity among our youth,” says Family Practitioner, Greg Napier, M.D. with Morehead Family Medicine at Morehead Memorial Hospital. “The good news is that you can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by committing to a healthy lifestyle.” Consider these tips, he says: Get active! Regular physical activity can help improve your health in a number of ways. It can help: • Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease; • Reduce your risk of some cancers; • Strengthen your bones and muscles; • Control your weight; • Improve your mental health and mood; and • Improve your ability to perform daily activities and prevent falls, especially among older adults. Of equal importance, physical activity can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It lowers blood sugar and boosts your sensitivity to insulin, which helps keep your blood sugar within a normal range.

LO N G L E A F P INE INITIATIVE A VAILABLE TO LA N D O W N E R S NRCS Longleaf Pine Initiative Available to Private Landowners Raleigh, NC -Longleaf pine forests once covered millions of acres throughout the Southeastern United States. Today, only a few thousand acres of this vital habitat remains. To help sustain, enhance and restore longleaf pine forests, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Dave White today announced the availability of more than $12 million to help private landowners in 9 States restore and manage longleaf pine. “The longleaf pine is one of our key native species; providing a home to hundreds of plant and animal species as well as being a tremendous economic resource,” White said. “Restoring and expanding this species is only made possible through voluntary partnerships with conservation-minded landowners who share our goal of healthy forests.” Longleaf pine habitat can contain as many as 300 different species of groundcover plants per acre, and approximately 60 percent of the amphibian and reptile species found in the Southeast. Additionally, this forested habitat is home to at least 122 endangered or threatened plant and animal species including the fox squirrel, northern bobwhite, red-cockaded woodpecker and gopher tortoise. “We’ve taken great steps toward conserving longleaf pine forests in North Carolina,” said NRCS State Conservationist JB Martin Jr. “Through this initiative, and the great works of our landowners, we will be able to enhance and protect more of this essential habitat.” The Longleaf Pine Initiative will incorporate both technical and financial assistance providing $800,000 to help landowners in North Carolina improve habitat on agricultural land, nonindustrial private forest and Tribal land. Nine states are included in the Longleaf Pine Initiative: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Approved participants will receive financial assistance for implementing conservation practices including planting longleaf pine, installing firebreaks, conducting prescribed burning and controlling invasive plants. Additional information on the Longleaf Pine Initiative, NRCS and our programs is available on our Website at www.nc.nrcs.usda.gov or at your local USDA NRCS office.

After nearly 23 years at the helm of Reidsville City Government, City Manager D. Kelly Almond will be retiring as of February 1, 2011, Mayor James K. Festerman announced today. Almond has worked in municipal government for 38 years, starting out as a City planner and managing several other cities before coming to Reidsville in July of 1988. Mayor Festerman acknowledges that Almond will be leaving huge shoes to fill in terms of experience and overall knowledge of municipal government. “We will be consulting with Kelly as we prepare for the next step in the City’s future,” the Mayor said. “I anticipate, due to advertising deadlines and the need for a national search for candidates, that we will need to employ an interim manager as we work through the process of interviewing, selecting and hiring a new manager.” Almond announced his retirement plans to his employees this morning. “I could not have survived for almost 23 years without having true professionals like them helping me,” he stressed. “I am very lucky and very blessed to have been able to serve a wonderful City like Reidsville for 23 years. Frances and I love Reidsville and plan to stay here.” Mayor Festerman noted that during Almond’s 20-plus years in

For The Fun Of It IDIOT SIGHTING : The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!' Never Represent Yourself A man was on trial for robbing a convenience store. He didn't like the job his attorney was doing, so he fired him and represented himself. He was doing a fine job until the manager of the store got to the stand. When she identified him as the robber, he jumped up and yelled, "You're lying! I should have blown your head off!!" He paused, then added, "If I had been the one that was there." It took the jury only twenty minutes to find him guilty. He was sentenced to thirty years. Flying without a parachute A man jumps out of an airplane with a parachute on his back. As he's falling, he realizes hiss chute is broken. He doesn't know anything about parachutes, but as the earth rapidly approaches, he realizes his options are limited; he takes off the parachute and tries to fix it himself on the way down. The wind is ripping past his face, he's dropping like a rock, and at 5000 feet, another man goes shooting up past him. In desperation, the man with the chute looks up and yells, "Hey do you know anything about parachutes?!" The guy flying up looks down and yells, "No, do you know anything about gas stoves?!" Mechanics A rich suburbanite had car trouble while on a mountain holiday. He puttered into the yard of a rickety roadside filling station and called to the greasy bearded attendant, “Have you had any experience with BMWs?” “Buddy, if I could work on cars like that, I don’t reckon I’d be here.”
Hymn #365 A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had All the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he Said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' Sermon complete, he sat down. The song leader stood very cautiously and announced With a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song, Let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.' Dog Property Rules 1. If I like it, it's mine. 2. If its in my mouth, it's mine. 3. If I can take it from you, it's mine. 4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine. 5. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine. 6. If its mine, it must never appear to be yours anyway. 7. If it just looks like mine, it's mine. 8. If I saw it first, it's mine. 9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine. 10. If its broken, it's yours. Shrinking Cows “Dad, don’t we get leather from cows?” “That’s right, Son.” “Doesn’t leather shrink when it gets wet?” “Usually.” “Then what happens to cows when they stand outside in the rain?” Real Throngs of admirers collected around the handsome actorat a shopping mall. “Is that a real mustache?” one child asked. “No, not this one. I keep my real one at home on the dresser.”
I Love My Job (As told to Dr. Seuss) I love my Job, I love the Pay! I love it more and more each day. I love my Boss; she’s the best! I love her boss and all the rest. I love my Office and its location I hate to have to go on vacation. I love my furniture, drab and gray, and the paper that piles up every day! I love my chair in my padded Cell! There’s nothing else I love so well. I love to work among my Peers I love their leers and jeers and sneers. I love my Computer and all its Software; I hug it often though it doesn’t care… I love each Program and every File, I try to understand once in a while!! I’m happy to be here, I am I am; I’m the happiest Slave of my Uncle Sam. I love this Work; I love these Chores. I love the Meetings with deadly Bores. I love my Job - I’ll say it again I even love these friendly Men These men who’ve come to visit today In lovely white coats to take me away!!!
Tipping the Dealer A blackjack dealer and a player with a thirteen count in his hand were arguing about whether or not it was appropriate to tip the dealer. The player said, “When I get bad cards, it’s not the dealer’s fault. Accordingly, when I get good cards, the dealer obviously had nothing to do with it so, why should I tip him?” The dealer said, “When you eat out do you tip the waiter?” “Yes.” “Well then, he serves you food, I’m serving you cards so you should tip me.” “Okay. But the waiter brings me whatever I order. So I’ll take an eight.”.
Food and Drink might be deadly! The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.

County Star Investing In Rockingham County’s Quality of Life Continued from Page 18 office, the City Manager took many giant steps to improve the quality of life for Reidsville’s citizens and the economic well being of the City. He said it would be difficult for him to name all of the accomplishments made under Almond’s administration, but he listed a few: ß Negotiation of water sales to the City of Greensboro ß Renovation of the Police Department building. ß Construction of two fire stations ß Improvements at Lake Reidsville, including new piers, a camp store, soccer field and amphitheatre ß Establishment of a Teen Center for City youth ß Revitalization of the downtown area, including the construction of Market Square ß Establishment of a network of greenway trails ß Recognition of Reidsville as an “All-America City” in 2008 Mayor Festerman concluded by saying that Almond is leaving the City in good financial health, no small task in these difficult economic times nationally. The next city manager of Reidsville will benefit from Almond’s expertise, he noted. While sad to see Almond go, the Mayor said Almond deserved to enjoy his retirement. “I wish only the very best to Kelly and his wife, Frances, as they take the next step in their lives because I know he has always given his best to the City of Reidsville,” the Mayor said.
N O T A LW AY S “TH E M OST W ONDERFUL TIME O F THE Y E A R” The winter holidays are generally perceived as “the most wonderful time of the year.” But for those who are facing grief after the death of a loved one, the holidays may instead be a time filled with pain and sadness. Even those for whom grief is not as fresh, the holidays may serve as an annual reminder of the loss—not only of that person, but of tradition and celebration. Bereavement professionals working in hospice understand how difficult this season can be. They support families coping with loss all year long.

Bereavement counselors stress the importance of making decisions that feel right to the grieving person, and giving oneself permission to make new or different choices at the holidays. Grief experts remind us that: • Holidays often center on certain traditions and rituals. For some, continuing these traditions without a loved one may be an important way to continue sharing their memory. For others, it may be more comforting to develop new rituals to help lessen the pain and immediacy of the loss. • While the holidays can be filled with meaning, they can also be filled with pressure and stress because of additional tasks such as shopping, baking and decorating. Grieving people should be encouraged to prioritize what needs to be done, and focus on those projects that may bring them pleasure. Perhaps the gift list can be pared down, cards need not be sent out, or another family member can cook the family dinner this year. • The holidays can bring opportunities to remember the person who has died in a way that is personally meaningful. Some families choose to participate in holiday events at a local hospice. Others may choose to share special family stories over a meal. Some may find that making a donation to a special charity or volunteering time to help others in need may be a comforting way to honor their loved one. Hospice of Rockingham County’s grief and bereavement professionals know of the importance of providing emotional and spiritual support to those who are grieving but most importantly, they remind us that a person grieving should do what’s most comfortable for him or her during this time of year. To learn more about grief and loss or about hospice, contact Hospice of Rockingham County at (336) 427-9022 or visit www.hospiceofrockinghamcounty.com. This information is provided by Hospice of Rockingham County and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

R URITA N C L U B D O N ATES D ICTIONARIES Who says kid’s don’t like to read anymore? In November the Wentworth Ruritan Club donated dictionaries to the entire 3rd Grade class of Wentworth Elementary and the excitement was in the room when they also held a contest to see who could find the information the fastest. Members of the Ruritan Club including President Monette Rich as well as Francis Paschal, David Smith, Charles Bosewell, Mary Joe Boswell and Debbie Smith joined in on the fun as they announced information for the children to quickly find in their new dictionaries. Most of the children knew the answers to the questions before they even looked them up in the new books, but the challenge was to find what page the information could be found on. Hands went up all around the room when they found the answers and those who got it right first were allowed to come up and read the next question as well as get a quarter.

Duke Energy President and Chief Operating Office Jim Turner was joined by county commissioners, City of Eden council members, Rockingham County Manager Tom Robinson and Partnership for Economic Development President Graham Pervier in celebrating the Oct. 19 groundbreaking of the new gaspowered energy facility that will replace the existing coal-powered plant. The $700 million project will take over two years to complete, employing 400 to 500 temporary workers. (Area realtors and property owners are fielding calls from workers seeking Eden housing.) The facility is scheduled to begin operations in December 2012 and will employ between 25 and 35 full-time workers. After the groundbreaking ceremony, a community meeting was held at Eden City Hall. More than 3,500 residents living in close proximity to the site were notified by mail of the meeting. Representatives from Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas were in attendance to answer questions about the facility.

Christmas is turkey season, too! Baked or fried - we Americans love to eat turkey, especially during the holidays. In recent years, we’ve seen the popularity of deep-fried turkey rise and with it, the sale of home turkey fryers. The Eden Fire Department discourages the use of these outdoor, oil-filled turkey fryers because of the personal safety and fire risks they pose. If you choose to use a turkey fryer, please follow these tips: • Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors a safe distance from buildings and any other flammable materials. • Never use turkey fryers in a garage or on a wooden deck. • Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping. • Never leave the fryer unattend-
ed. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you do not watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire. • Never let children or pets near the fryer even if it is not in use. The oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot hours after use. • To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer. • Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter. • Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water do not mix, and water causes oil to spill over causing a fire or even an explosion hazard. • Keep an all-purpose fire extin-

RETIRE
Like many people, Floyd Moyer is looking forward to celebrating New Year’s Day. He perhaps has more reason to celebrate than the rest of us … it’s the first day of his life as a retiree. Moyer began work with the city in 1984 and has served in several positions including laborer, brush hauler, knuckle boom operator and finally, a crew leader in the solid waste division. Many things have changed in the time Moyer has worked for Eden. Advances in technology have allowed the city to upgrade its garbage collection equipment through the years. (Remember the days when workers rode on the backs of garbage trucks?) The job may have eased in physical labor intensity but collecting trash and waste is still a stressful and often thankless job. Moyer said he was surprised several times through the years to have citizens stop him on his route and thank him for the great job he did. Indeed, Moyer’s service has been invaluable to the City of Eden and its citizens. Rodney Carter, superintendent of the city’s solid waste division, noted he has worked with Moyer for the past 12 years. “Floyd is an
Moyer outstanding, wonderful employee to work with and to supervise. He has a fantastic work ethic and is a can do man.” Moyer is a native of Axton, Va., and now lives in Eden where he enjoys hunting, gardening and lawn care. He looks forward to relaxing and spending more time with his family, which includes wife Emma Jean, six children and twelve grandchildren. The city congratulates Moyer on his retirement and thanks him for his service. Stepping into the crew leader position is Eden resident Herman Wilson, a 12-year employee of the city. Wilson enjoys working with the public and looks forward to encouraging great team work from the solid waste employees to provide the best service for Eden’s citizens.
A MERICAN LEGION N A M E S S A M S HELTO N A S O FFICER O F THE Y E A R On Nov. 18, a surprised Sgt. Sam Shelton received American Legion Post 254’s Officer of the Year Award. Shelton was nominated to receive the award based on his tremendous contributions to the citizens of Eden and his fellow officers. If you don’t personally know Shelton, you have probably seen him out and about in Eden. In addition
to playing a critical role in securing grants for the police department, Shelton serves in many departmental capacities. He also teaches DARE at Eden’s elementary schools, making a difference in the lives of countless Eden youth. The Eden Police Department is proud to call Shelton one of their own and congratulates him on this honor. Shelton

BIBLICAL REFLECTIONS OF NATURE
“bloweth where it listeth.” The same is true today but we must point our wings in the right direction to hear the sound of His voice. The south winds bring warmth to the earth. The north winds bring coldness and rain, both are needed for a fruitful life, (Song of Solomon 4:16). Without the cold north winds there could be no growth in the spring. Without sufferings the meaning of joy is to no effect. Without the driving rain from the north winds there could be no rainbows. Rainbows are reflections of light that shine through the clouds of despair. When the cold north winds blow in your life, know that it is for your good to help you grow. We must accept the struggles in order to embrace the Sovereign. Just as the hawk points her wings towards the south, we too are called to point towards the south winds of the Holy Spirit and bask in the warm rays of His love.

The Hawk “Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings
to the second part of the verse in Job, “and stretch her wings towards the south.” When it is time for the hawk to molt her old feathers and grow new ones in its place, she will elevate her body temperature until her pores open, allowing her to absorb the sun’s rays. It accomplishes this in one of two ways. If the south winds are blowing she will spread her wings towards its direction or into its warmth. If there is no south wind blowing, she will beat her wings to create a breeze while facing the sun. There is a great object lesson here, we too need to “molt”. Our old feathers must be shed in order to grow new ones. We are to put off the old man and put on the new man. The old man is, of course, our old sinful nature and the new man is the godly righteousness that we are to grow into. How do we let go of our old feathers? It is that we are to yield our lives to Him. Jesus told Nicodemus that the wind could not be tamed nor controlled, but
toward the south?” (Job 39:26) Have you ever watched the nature of a hawk? They seem to be great thinkers and observers, looking down on smaller birds from lofty tree-tops. God’s design of the hawk is of greater wisdom than we can comprehend. Job said, “Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom…” Isaiah said, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” All of nature is part of God’s pattern; each piece meticulously orchestrated by the Master builder, gently woven together fitting a mold like no other, each stitch without a seam, each thread without a fray. Only God could create such handiwork in all creation. I would like to draw your attention

However, equipment was not included in the budget. Today, Kevin Bottomley, Executive Director (336-637-1350) of the YMCA of Reidsville, along with Jim McGough, Associate Director (336-637-1351) made a donation of several pieces of equipment. The Reidsville YMCA recently updated their equipment and retired the previous equipment. There is enough equipment to fill the room and needs of employees of the Sheriff’s Office that choose to utilize the new fitness room. Sheriff Sam Page expressed his appreciation and had his picture made with these men and a portion of the equipment. He emphasized the importance of keeping physically fit in the workplace. Sheriff Page said the donation was greatly appreciated. Jim McGough, Sheriff Sam Page, Kevin Bottomley
ADTS A W A R D E D N ATIONAL A CCREDITATION Aging, Disability & Transit Services of Rockingham County (formerly Council on Aging) proudly announces its award of accreditation status by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC) for the services of in-home aide. T. Lee Covington, Executive Director for ADTS states, “ADTS and our hard-working, dedicated staff have been validated as an organization dedicated to quality services by successfully meeting national standards.” ACHC, a private, not-for-profit corporation which is certified to ISO 9001:2008 standards, was developed by home care and community-based providers to help companies improve business operations and service quality.

By attaining accreditation, ADTS has demonstrated its commitment to maintain a higher level of competency and strive for excellence in its products, services and customer satisfaction. Aging, Disability and Transit Services is a private nonprofit agency dedicated to assisting and linking senior adults, people with disabilities and their families with information, opportunities and services that promote and enhance quality of life, and to meeting the local transportation needs of Rockingham County citizens.

Officials say restaurateurs have reported receiving calls from people claiming to be health inspectors or other government officials who tell the business owners of a new inspection procedure. On Monday, November 15, 2010, an Eden area restaurant notified local environmental health officials of receiving such call. The phony “government official” provides a numeric code and instructs the restaurant operator to provide this confirmation code when prompted during an automated call or give the code to a health

At Job Fairs, on community college web sites and in a variety of Job Search courses, we hear that employers are looking for candidates who are computer literate, have the ability to problem solve and work in teams, and can read for information and apply math to their work. These skills and abilities apply to almost all positions in the job market. People develop these skills in a variety of ways: some are learned on the job; some in workshops. However, I think we sometimes overlook the fact that we need a solid foundation in “learning to learn.” This solid foundation comes from our K 12 education and in our attaining a high school diploma. Employers are nearly unanimous in requiring a High School Diploma or GED for work. If employers are requiring the diploma or GED and if educators believe the diploma or GED is your foundation, then it is clearly in the job seekers best interest to have a high school diploma or GED. The workplace statistics show that having a high school diploma or GED significantly improves lifetime earnings. The Community and Workforce Education Division is prepared to help you receive your GED. We have classes during the day and evening at our campus and at several different locations around the county. If you have a busy schedule, many responsibilities, and too little time, we have online classes to prepare you for your GED. Most importantly we have a staff at Basic Skills to help you find the right place to start, the right things for you to work on and our staff is ready to see that you earn your GED. Let us help you. At the Rockingham Community College campus and all over Rockingham County, the Community & Workforce Education provides paths for people to gain the skills to good careers!

The caller then says that the health inspector will visit the food service establishment the next day between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., or a similar time-frame. Glenn L. Martin, local health director said he has learned that other states have been targeted by similar scams. These scams have involved setting up “verified” accounts with a national online auction service. The purpose of the code is to get the restaurant to provide false verification to the online auction service which establishes a bogus online account to be used in other fraud schemes. Food Service establishments and other business owners need to be aware of this scam and should protect themselves by understanding: • Never provide personal or business information by phone unless you are certain of the person with whom you are speaking. • Environmental health specialists do not contact establishments in advance to schedule a routine inspection. • A new inspection procedure has not been developed and any “government official” who asks you to provide a given code through an automated call system or to an inspector is part of a fraud scheme. • Ask for proper photo identification if you do not recognize any inspector. There have been no reports of phony inspectors arriving at any establishment targeted by the scam in North Carolina. However, owners and operators should immediately contact local law enforcement if they suspect they are being targeted by a scam. Questions about the identity of any environmental health specialist authorized to inspect in North Carolina should be directed to the N.C. Division of Environmental Health at (919) 733-2884 or the Rockingham County Department of Public Health’s Environmental Health Division at 336-342-8180.
RCC TRUSTEES H O N O R K EYS, GILLILAND WENTWORTH – During its scheduled November meeting, Rockingham Community College’s Board of Trustees agreed to name two facilities in honor of two individuals – a major donor and the retiring president. The board voted to name the college’s gymnasium in honor of Dr. Robert Keys, RCC’s president, and the baseball field in honor of David L. Gilliland of Greensboro, a major contributor to the college’s baseball program. “Thank you,” Keys responded after the board gave him a standing ovation following the unanimous vote. “This was very unexpected and I am overwhelmed.” The selection of the gym was appropriate since Keys has been a strong advocate of health and wellness and student development at RCC since he came in 1996. He re-instituted an intercollegiate athletics program at the college with the goal of complementing the classroom experience of the student-athlete. Further, in 2007 Keys was selected to chair the statewide intercollegiate athletics task force to develop guidelines for athletes in community colleges. Gilliland, whose son played baseball at RCC, made the original contribution that enabled the college to construct a baseball field and has continued to make substantial contributions as field improvements have been made and equipment added. “Mr. Gilliland has continued to support our baseball program to show his appreciation to the college for his son’s very positive experience at RCC both as a student and as a baseball athlete,” Keys said. While the search for a new president is under way, board members said it will be at least January before one is selected. Therefore, the board asked Keys to consider delaying his previously announced retirement for two months or “until a successor is named, but no later than March 15.” Keys had submitted his notice of retirement as RCC’s third president in July, with an effective date of December 31. In reporting on the search process, Grayson Whitt, vice chair of the board and chair of the presidential search advisory committee, reported that the committee reviewed applications from 26 candidates and narrowed the pool of semifinalists to 12. These 12 have been asked to submit a video of their responses to a group of interview questions; the committee will review the videos and select six finalists to submit to the trustees for interviews. The board also was informed by Dr. Bob Lowdermilk, RCC’s vice president for student development, that headcount enrollment for the fall semester remained steady after last fall’s 20 percent increase. However, full-time equivalent enrollment – a number based on the number of class hours taken – grew 2.6 percent from the previous fall. Lowdermilk noted that one in four high school graduates in Rockingham County is coming to RCC, and the number of African-Americans attending RCC has grown 46 percent over the last two years. In other business, the board: – Discussed with Keith Wilson, architect of Calloway, Johnson, Moore, & West, PA, options for construction of the McMichael Civic Center. – Accepted an audit report of RCC’s credit and non-credit programs for Spring 2009-Spring 2010 which included only one audit exception.

MHS STUDENTS E XPERIENCE V IRTTUAL R EALITY LIVE Sixteen students from Morehead High School’s Computer Applications II and eCommerce I Honors classes visited the Duke immersive Virtual Environment (DiVE) lab at Duke University on Friday, November 5, 2010. This lab is a 6-sided CAVE-like virtual reality theater. All six surfaces – the four walls, the ceiling and the floor – are used as screens onto which computer graphics are displayed. The lab is a fully immersive room in which each student literally walked into a virtual reality world, is surrounded by the display and is capable of interacting with virtual objects in the world.
Only $10 & up
Students wore stereo glasses which provided depth perception, and one student at a time got to use a handheld “wand” which controlled navigation and input into the world for manipulating virtual objects. During their trip at Duke, the students toured Duke Chapel, Dorms, Cameron Indoor Stadium and Wallace Wade Stadium. “This was an enjoyable learning experience for students. I hope I will be able to take my classes each semester to experience Virtual Reality at its best.” – Mrs. Thompson

WENTWORTH Phillip Madison, 50, pled guilty to Indecent Liberties with a Child yesterday In Rockingham County Superior Court. Madison, a resident of Redisville, received a 16-20 months suspension sentence. He was placed on probation for 5 years by Judge Edger B. Gregory, and ordered to pay a $1,000.00 fine and costs, submit to a sex offender treatment program, and register as a sex offender for a period of thirty years. Detectives with the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department interviewed a 14 year old victim regarding a reported fondling incident. The teenager told authorities that on July 10, 2010, the defendant, the victim, and two others were riding in a vehicle confirming bus riders for Sunday services at their church. The defendant was a bus driver for the church according to the victim. While in the vehicle, the defendant fondled the victim’s breasts, forcefully grabbed her stomach, and rubbed her thighs. The victim submitted to a forensic interview and the counselor who spoke with the child found her to be “extremely reliable.” Madison was interviewed by detectives and confessed to touching the victim inappropriately on her breast and lower stomach.

S H O P SAFELY THIS HOLIDAY F R O M THE E D E N P OLICE
WITH TIPS
By Sgt. Sam Shelton, Police Department
Before You Leave Home Plan your shopping trip carefully. Know where you are going and what routes you will take. Tell someone your route plans and expected time of return. If possible, arrange for a companion to go with you. There is safety in numbers. If you are shopping at night and have to walk alone to your car, ask the mall security to escort you to your car. Dress casually and comfortably when shopping, and do not wear expensive jewelry. When You Are Driving Keep your doors locked at all times. Choose a well-lit and traveled route even if you believe it is out of your way. Never allow your tank to become less than half full. Never pick up hitchhikers. Do not stop to help strangers. Call the police to assist them. Avoid confrontations with strangers or with others who might seek to follow you to continue the confrontation. When You Park Your Car Park in a well-lit area. If you are parking during the day and returning to your car after dark, check for street and building lights. ALWAYS lock all your doors. Remove all electronic items, such as calculators, radar detectors and all packages from your car. Place them in the trunk or glove compartment, out of sight. Avoid parking near vans or other vehicles with covered cargo areas. Look around the parking lot for suspicious persons before you get out of your car. Avoid carrying large handbags. Carry only what is necessary. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Pay for purchases with checks, credit, charge or debit cards. Carry cash and wallets in a front pocket to reduce your chances of having your pocket picked. Shop in groups whenever possible. Use the “buddy system.” Don’t get out of your car until you are ready. If you don’t feel safe, stay in the car or drive away. Remember where you parked your car. While this may sound elementary, many shopping areas are spread out over large areas. Being unable to locate a car can cause you undue confusion and stress that may present you as a better target to a criminal. Don’t get out of your car until you are ready. If you don’t feel safe, stay in the car or drive away. When You Return to Your Car • If you are shopping at a mall, keep in mind the time the store closes where you entered the mall, as some stores close earlier than others. This may keep you from having to walk unnecessary distances to your car if you find the store has closed earlier than you expected. • Never leave the store with your arms full of packages. Use a courtesy cart. • Have your car key in hand, ready to unlock your door. • Check the parking lot for suspicious people and look around before you exit the store. • If you feel unsafe, always ask the store security to assist you to your car. • If you are parked near a van or other vehicle with a covered cargo area, it is a good idea to return to the store and ask a security officer to accompany you. • Check underneath, in front and in back of your car before you enter it. • Check the front and rear passenger seats before you enter your car. • Place all packages out of sight. When You Are Returning Home Frequently check your rearview mirror to see if you are being followed. If you feel like you are being followed, DO NOT go home. Drive to the nearest police station, fire station or other place of safety. Use your cellular phone, if you have one, to call the police. Try to obtain a license plate number, how many people are in the car and a good description of the car you believe is following you. If Your Car Breaks Down • If you are off the roadway, raise the hood of your vehicle, then get back into your car and lock the doors. • If you have a cellular phone, call for help. • If a stranger stops, slightly lower the window to request they contact the police for you. REFUSE ALL OTHER HELP. • If someone tries to force their way into your car, blink your headlights and blow your horn at the same time to attract attention.

P IT S TO P O R S W E E T S H O P - WH AT W ILL IT B E ? Ann Jackson, (A.J.) for short, is one busy woman. When she found out she had breast cancer, giving up was not in her vocabulary, she fought hard, and came out one top. She also, at the same time mind you, began her businesses. Yes I said, businesses... plural. Both her Mayodan businesses, A.J.’s Pit Stop on the well known corner of Main Street and Second Avenue, is a fully functioning restaurant with outdoor seating, big screen tv and a hometown atmosphere. But winter’s coming you say, outside is not the place to be to eat. Well she’s got that under control. Walk right down the street to 105 S. Second Avenue, just in site of the Pit Stop, and you will see A.J.’s Sweet Shop, a little ice cream shop that will transport you back in time and fill your sweet tooth as well as your tummy. The entire menu that is served at A.J.’s Pit Stop is also served at the little ice cream shop in the warmth of the inside booths and with an old fashioned flair you don’t find often. She serves up hamburgers, hot dogs, vegies and meats and a little of everything you could want for dinner for the entire family. But don’t forget the wonderful hand-made desserts and sweets after the meal. Whether it’s warm or cold, A.J. can take care of your hunger and do it in an atmosphere that brings back fond memories of the past. If you have a hankerin’ for ice cream she has what it takes to fill that sweet tooth including sundeas, shakes, cookies, cakes and more. Next time your hungry, give it a try, stroll down to A.J.’s and visit her as she welcomes everyone with a smile. If you want to call and place an order first, call dial 4276502. This year the Mayodan Christmas Tree will be located on her patio at the Pit Stop and she invites everyone to come see the lighting on December 5th at 6pm. There will be carolina and Santa will visit as well.

A B ETTE-R-LO O K AT M Y S TO RY Bette Hutchens It all started for me as some of my earliest memories in life . . . the way lip-gloss & hair spray could be so magical for a little girl. Now at age 37 it’s more like wow this morning is scary until the mascara wand waves into these baby blues. Now don’t get me wrong I think we all should feel beautiful naturally from deep within our soul but it always makes you feel more like “HELLO WORLD” after your face is on, or those gorgeous new tones of honey, wheat, & coco are mingled throughout your hair (covering those much unruly grey patches that we try to defy). Well you know how the saying goes every old barn could use a coat of paint . . . seems to be true for humans as well. I have been in the beauty industry now for 18 years making a living & thank God everyday for allowing me to still feel so passionate towards life in general. In my opinion we all make our choices as to which road we are going to take no matter what our circumstances may have been. We should believe in the power that we all possess to rise up & focus on our goals no matter who or what road we have traveled. Each day someone different comes into the salon with their own story of hope, joy, sorrow, & even pain. In any job we could all benefit from being more personable with our guest. Do we remember their names or how about their children’s names or certain details of what they have been willing to share with us during the last visit? Details are how the former Leaksville Bank & Trust or even later Bank Of America was converted into a salon & day spa. You see as a little girl I also remembered a former dance teacher repeating the words to us girls “Can’t Never Could” for years. I didn’t realize until later in life just how much that would play into my life. The 1922 building that my business had been in for 10 plus years was absolutely perfect until I realized people were coming in with gift certificates they had been given & saying “how long have you been here giving facials or I didn’t know anyone around here offered facials for a man or waxing services to rid men of “caveman” back hair.” Wow I started paying attention to some details of what was all around me, people needing to see what we offer a lot more then just designer haircuts & fabulous color. When I called the 1-800 number for the auction company in Florida on the sign in front of the former bank, the voice on the other end of the line said, “OH THAT PROPERTY WAS SOLD!” I knew something didn’t
feel complete or like I hadn’t tried hard enough. After going back that same day to look again there was a small Guilford County real estate sign bolted to the inner wall. We worked out a deal & a bit later “Blondie” was on a mission. I have a wonderful husband & three beautiful children (currently ages 3-5-7) that motivated me EVERYDAY, more than they will ever know, throughout the whole process. We as a family worked for 15 months on our “Project” from start to finish. The kids were with us every step of the way. We were spending between 20 to 25 hours per week on top of trying to both work our regular full time schedules, go to church, sports, & birthday parties, well you know… LIFE. THANK YOU FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SACRAFICED PRECIOUS TIME TO HELP US (EVEN MY SOUNDING BOARDS) I LOVE YOU & AM EXCITED ABOUT CONTINUING TO OFFER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO ROCKINGHAM & SURROUNDING COUNTIES. The BetteRLook Salon & Day Spa is about helping you relax & find YOURSELF again! We offer a wide range of dual services meaning you can come in with your spouse, parent, child, or just a friend & both get manicures (care of the hands & nails), pedicures (care of the feet), waxing services, hand, arm, or cranial massage, World Famous “Repechage” seaweed facials, ear candling & more in a private setting at the same time. We are PROFESSIONALS in multicolor applications as well & can help you find the cut that is best suited for your lifestyle and facial shape. We even offer Princess Day Spa Parties to ensure your “LITTLE PRINCESS” has the VERY BEST for her BIRTHDAY MEMORIES! If you don’t have a lot of spare time but want to still feel like a KING or QUEEN, we offer express treatments that can be performed during a lunch hour. (At least two BetteRLook team members will work on you at once combining such as a mini facial & mini manicure for total relaxation or hand & feet massages.) Wedding Parties or special events for make up applications & formal hairstyles are other services that we offer to our clients. We do accept walk-ins when available, however appointments are recommended. While visiting with us browse through our “boutique” for that special gift or pick up a gift certificate that will always be the PERFECT FIT. Just ask for complimentary gift-wrap on any purchase!

D R B A TA K E S A H IKE... DE C E M B E R 4T H A DJACENT TO H ANGING R O C K Late Fall Hike on South Side of State Park
Take in a breathtaking view of the south side of Hanging Rock as you hike on private property adjacent to Hanging Rock State Park with the Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) on the first Saturday in December. DRBA's First Saturday Outing will begin at 10:00 a.m. on December 4 when participants meet at Moratock Park in Danbury, NC to carpool to the site where the hike begins. Trip coordinator Julia Pyron, an active DRBA volunteer and outdoorswoman, notes that the woodland hike of approximately two miles is mostly easy, but with two or three short, steep climbs. "Wear boots appropriate for wading across a stream," she advises, as the trail will cross the headwaters of Old Mill Creek several times. According to our host, the hike is very much like walking in the park itself. "There is lots of wildlife," he says, "from Black Bears to Wild Turkeys, including lots of bluebirds, hawks, and owls. You might even see a few deer." Although no hunting will be allowed on the property or adjacent parklands, wearing brightly colored clothing is encouraged. The terrain includes countless rocks that get larger the clos-
er you get to the mountain. As in many woodlands in our rural area, the old home place, long abandoned, is marked by remains of stone chimneys. Parts of the trail pass through laurel and rhododendron thickets, with carpets of running cedar and occasional patches of the rarer running pine. Our host further notes that the forest may include "trees and The Dan River Basin Association's wild plants you don't December 4 First Saturday Outing normally see." He sugwill be a hike on land adjacent to gests that participants Hanging Rock State Park. The pubbring along field guides lic is invited without charge. to help identify these plants. Participants should dress in layers, wear waterproof ing lot near the old iron furnace. DRBA invites the public to boots, and bring lunch and water and walking sticks. All partici- join in, free of charge, for this pants will be asked to sign a special hike. For questions about the outwaiver.

Tis the season and everyone’s searching for the perfect gift that doesn’t break the bank. The more money saved, the more there is to spend. Still, many of us struggle to find the perfect gift. What if, for just one day, you forget the sales and choose to save a life instead? Donating blood helps save up to three lives and the only cost is an hour of your time.

I
AM
WHAT I AM
Amanda Rorrer, Contributing writer Author of Runningwrite.blogspot.com I am what I am. I am one who embraces the challenge. I am one who does what others only dare. Rorrer I teach and I reach… Though they may be far and few between. At the end of my years, I will reflect and know, Think and say, Speak and feel, All that which I have become. All that I have embraced, Even that which was difficult, Because I rose to the challenge And I was firm in my convictions. I loved the challenge and the quest for answers— Even the seemingly impossible ones. I nurtured the thirst for knowledge by never letting my own well run dry. I am a woman who wonders, “Do I do enough?” Or, am I doing too much? How much more of myself can I give? I do what I do because I am what I am. I am a wife, a mother, a teacher, a daughter, a niece, a granddaughter, a friend. I am what I am. I am a work in progress, Never perfected and in constant need of refinement. This is me and I am what I am. I am a poet whose words are often unrhymed. I am a writer who writes what is on my mind. I keep trying and I practice. I practice to perfect an art, knowing that perfection is an unattainable goal— Only a point to strive toward. My heart is on my sleeve and that is only because I am what I am. I am a lover of the written word, the ability to speak one’s mind, and the inspiration to find one’s voice. I am human and I am often sidetracked by the realities of life and the pains of death. I am a writer who struggles to find the words that fit perfectly on the page— Regardless of how those words are interpreted by those who know me less than myself— By those who think they know me. I am a teacher who teaches respect, Knowing that respect for one’s self and others will benefit my students farther in life than any multiple choice test. I am strong, but even I need reassurance and positive reinforcement to do the insurmountable tasks that consume my day. Even with strength comes doubt--But I have a higher power whose voice reminds me that He has made me who I am. And He gives me a will to strive to do more. Always changing, always learning, and always growing, Which is the essence of life. I am what I am. I am me.

FOR
LIFE – HOLIDAY E VENTS
The holiday season is here! Relay for Life will be active this season – please come and join us! December 11th marks the Wentworth Christmas Parade. We will be marching behind our Relay for Life banner. Another participant in the parade will be the Pink Fire Truck that is touring the nation in support of fighting women’s cancers. This is part of the Pink Heals Tour 2010 and is driven by the Guardians of the Ribbon – an organization that “cares enough to wear pink”. They are fire fighters, originally from Phoenix, Arizona and have visited more than 1000 cities in the last 22 months. The truck is carrying more than 40,000 signatures of survivors across the country – come and sign it too! They hope to raise awareness, encourage men to support women’s health issues and bring hope to all who are fighting cancer. The parade will take place at 11:00 am in Wentworth. Also on December 11th, we will be in the Madison-Mayodan
by Joan Weisenbeck
parade at 1:00 pm. We will be marching in support of the fight to end cancer – both for Relay for Life and Bark for Life. Bark for Life recognizes our furry friends who also fight cancer. Our first annual Bark for Life this summer was a huge success! Relay for Life supports local patient care programs as well as cancer research. In the News Promising new research, which is supported by the American Cancer Society, involves earlier diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pancreatic cancer. This cancer is usually found so late that only 5% of patients live five years past diagnosis. This is among the lowest survival rate for any cancer. Numbers 43,000 new diagnoses each year 36,800 deaths each year 20% found early enough for surgery to help 80% recurrence rate Survival rates have been virtual-
ly unchanged since 1970. Patrick Swayze ( Dirty Dancing, Ghost ) died of this cancer last year at the age of 57 just 19 months after diagnosis. Symptoms 1) Unexplained weight loss 2) Abdominal pain 3) Jaundice ( yellow skin and eyes) Risk Factors 1) Smoking 2) Obesity 3) Lack of exercise 4) Diabetes – especially type 2 5) Cirrhosis of the liver 6) Increased stomach acid 7) H. pylori bacterium in the stomach 8) Family history 9) Work exposure to pesticides, dyes and other chemicals Prevention 1) Quit smoking 2) Maintain a healthy weight 3) Exercise regularly 4) Consume a healthy diet 5) Avoid excess alcohol What They’re Working On 1) PARP inhibitors show promise
in pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations ( also found in some breast and ovarian cancer patients ). These, paired with chemotherapy, are showing some increased success. 2) Targeted therapy – aimed toward each individual’s type of cancer – like Tarceva. 3) Pancreatic cancer vaccines Some of the dollars raised by Relay for Life fund this important research. Please join this year’s Relay for Life campaign and help put an end to cancer. Our Kick-Off for 2011 will be on January 6th at Main Street Methodist Church at 6:00 pm. It will be a pajama party – come in PJs or as you are!! Our Relay will be on May 1314th ( save the date ) and we will be celebrating ! Stay Awake at the Lake with us! Teams are forming now .
