holding an “open/walk-in”immunization clinic at our loca-tion in the Eden Mall (201 EMeadow Rd, Ste 120, Eden, NC27288) on Dec 12th from 9 AMto 2 PM. The primary reason forthis is to help get the H1N1 vac-cination into the community andpromote a healthy ‘flu season’.

Since this is a free vaccinesupplied by the government, it isrestricted to their pre-set prioritygroups. As it stands right now,the priority groups that will beable to receive the vaccine are thefollowing: • Pregnant women. • Children, teens and youngadults from 6 months to 24 yearsold. • Parents and caregivers ofinfants less than 6 months old. • Adults from 25 to 64 years oldwho have a chronic medical con-dition that increases their risk ofsevere illness or flu-related com-plications. • Health care workers and emer-gency medical services person-nel.

There is much anticipationthat the priority groups will beopened up sometime before theyear ends, but as of now—theseaforementioned groups are allthat we can serve, per federalrestrictions.

In addition to the H1N1shots, Maxim will be offering thefollowing as well: seasonal fluvaccine, pneumonia vaccine &tetanus shots. All in all, peoplewill have the opportunity to bevaccinated one last time beforethe year ends with a number ofdifferent options, should they sochoose.

As the holiday seasonapproaches, the MHS ArmyJROTC program continues to dowhat they feel is the most impor-tant aspect of their program, giv-ing back to their school and com-

munity. Over the past 30 days theprogram has been moving at afast pace with everyday class-room activities but have found away to continue their community

involvement in and out of theclassroom. These activitiesinclude:

Collected 25 pounds of sodacan caps for Ronald McDonaldHouse Tutoring and mentoring atCentral Elementary School everyWednesday Color Guard and

Over the past month the pro-gram has began a partnershipwith the American LegionWilliam Johnson Post #534 andhas began a Booster Club that hasalready had 40 members to join Senior Army Instructor David

Bray feels everything that isgoing on is a testimony to theprogram's mission statement: "tomotivate young people to be bet-ter citizens." Our cadets havereally stepped it up this semesterand have bought into the idea ofdoing for others even if some ofthem don't have themselves.

We have challenged ourcadets to live by a set of valuesand to develop their character byfulfilling the last part of our pro-grams motto "PANTHERPRIDE". PRIDE standing forPersonal Responsibility In DailyEfforts. This challenge is forevery cadet to give their besteffort on a daily basis in every-thing they do.

With only two instructorsand over 140 cadets in the pro-gram each semester, the cadetleadership has had to step up tothe challenge of being a cadet ledprogram. From the highest levelof leadership to the lowest levelof leadership, leaders are respon-sible for providing the purpose,direction and motivation for theirsubordinate cadets. With every-one being involved, the ArmyJROTC Program at MoreheadHigh School continues to moveinto 2010 with a vision to makeour program, our school, ourcommunity, our country a betterplace to live.

EDEN -Morehead AcademyChild Development Center,located in the Eden Mall, 205 E.Meadow Road, will be closeduntil further notice due to roofleaks, the resulting damage to theinterior of the center, and thedetection of mold growth. Thefacility was recently cited by theEden Planning and InspectionsDepartment for having numerousroof leaks, and hospital officialshave been working with mallmanagement to get the roofrepaired and the interior prob-lems corrected.

Academy staff was advised bystate officials that children

“We are a tenant in the build-ing,” said hospital President andCEO W. Carl Martin. “We willremain closed until the mallmakes the necessary repairs andcompletes all mold removal. Wemay resume operation at an alter-nate site if a suitable location canbe identified.”

The Rockingham County Boardof Commissioners met inNovember with the followingbeing some of the items on theagenda.

The Board voted to accept$2,293 in state grant fundingfrom the N.C. Deparrtment ofHealth and Human Services foreducatioal progam inplenentationin preparation of the N.C.Smokefree Restaurant and BarsLaw effective January2, 2010.

Due to an increase in WICclient caseload and an increase inthe funding per participant, andDipartement will receive an addi-tional $31,560 for WIC programadministration and client ser-vices.

The program’s increasedcaseload will require the employ-ment of an additional preccssingassitant at no cost to the county.Nutritionistws are currently hafv-ing to function in clerical roles tomeet the caseload demand. Thisis an inappropriate untilization ofthe nutritionhists’ time is result-ing in longer wait times for theclients.

The board accepted $301,601in State Public Health EmergencyResponse Phase III funding fromthe N.C. Department of Healthand Human Services for imple-mentation of a HINI mass vacci-nation campaign in the county.

It was recommended that theHowell Group, LLC, be com-misssioned to conduct aBroadband Feasibility study forthe best possible solution forincreasing Broadband coveragein the county. The study is to cost$29,750 with an additional$8,000 set aside for grant writingassistance on the project.

Sheriff Sam Page requestedthe purchase of equipment - taserrounds, ballistics helments andshields with federal forfeituremonies totalling $3,600.

The county received addition-al federal and state funding forChild Day Care Direct Servicesin the form of a Smart Start allo-cation of $189,010. They alsoaccepted $71,750 from

CenterPoint LME in subtanceabuse prevention funds toenjanc3e existing prevention pro-grams (Student of Success,Ladybugs, GRAD Guys).

Library president, JayStephens noted in a request thatas more computers were added inthe branches the library began tosell floppy disks to customersneedingt to wsafve data. The latetevice for data storage and trans-port is the flash dirve. Thewsswmall devices, no vbigtger thana small box of matchews, canhold incredible quantities of data.Several libraraies in NorthCarolina have already startedsllling flash drives to customers.He successfully requested thatthe Rockingham County Library

be allowed to sell flash drivedevices to the public, at the costof 10% above the individual pur-chase price, rounded to the near-est whole dollar.

Stephens also requested thatthe library be allowed to holdFood for Fines Week December14-19, 2009. This is an opportu-nity for customers with overduematerials to return them and paytheir overdue fines with dcannedgoods and non-perishable items.The collected goods are then tobe given to a local charity. Ondontated itmes is equivalent to $1in forgeven overdue fines.Customers may not pay offcharges for laost or damagedmaterials with food. Only over-due fines are included.

7:51a.m. December 7,1941brought us into World War ll.Japan hit American ships andinstallations with a surpriseattack on Pearl Harbor. The deathtoll was over 2,000, including 68civilians. The country rallied! Allof FDR’s sons served in the mili-tary during WWll. Many citizensjoined the military. The youngestto serve was Calvin Graham 12years old who lied about his age.He was wounded, and received adishonorable discharged for lyingabout his age.(His benefits werelater returned due to an act ofCongress.) My Uncles lied aswell. My Uncle Calvin, myUncle Joe and my Uncle Abner,they all lied. They lied about theirage to serve their country even ifit would cost their lives. MyUncle Calvin told them that hewas 22. He was really 16.Hewent to the Army. My uncleAbner told them he was 20. Hewas 15 years old. He served inthe Navy. My uncle Joe told themhe was 21 after they bombedPearl Harbor so he could serve,he was 17. He went aboard a ves-sel headed into battle in theNavy.

You see the enemy conclud-ed that their attack would be sodemoralizing that it would para-lyze the country for at least ayear. They could not have beenmore incorrect! The actionsmeant to defeat just infused, even

children to do what they could tofight back. The U.S. was ready in60 days and entered the war as aforce to contend with.

My dad was working 11 to 7at the Bridgeport BrassCompany in Bridgeport,Connecticut when Pearl Harborwas hit. He recalled working adouble shift when it happenedand in a matter of hours theywere turning out munitions 24/7.

I think we can learn manylessons from events associatedwith Pearl harbor. The one Iwould like to submit to you isthis:

At some point in your lifeyou will be surprised by somedevastating event, but it need notparalyze you. You can restore orrepair what you can and “getback in there“. You can prove naysayers wrong regardless of theloss you have suffered. Fouryears after the attack on PearlHarbor all but 3 sunken shipswere repaired and back in activeduty! At this time when wereflect on the events of PearlHarbor, remember that in themany battles we all face in life,be it financial, health issues, rela-tionship conflicts, what ever may“sneak attack” : We are a resilient bunch! We will fight back! We will rally! We will win!

PETER MAYER PERFORMS ATFIRST PRESBYTERIAN

Judy White, owner of A Cleaner World in Eden, started some-thing special after the death of her husband, she began the SeniorAngel Tree program.

Above, Ken White of a Cleaner World holds up the 22 SeniorAngels that they have prepared for this Christmas season. Theseseniors have no normal support system consisting of family, and are inneed of a happy Christmas holiday. They are not aware of being on thelist and will be especially surprised at any gifts they receive from will-ing participants. You can pick up your very own Senior Angel at ACleaner World in Eden. Give a senior, with no immediate family tocelebrate with, a special Christmas this year, too. They deserve giftsunder the tree on Christmas morning.

The Angel cards provide sizes and needs of these special peoplein our community. Please stop by A Cleaner World at 640 Van BurenRoad, Eden, and choose a person to “adopt” for a very specialChristmas. Individuals or groups are welcome to adopt an angel.

After gathering the gifts, bring them back to A Cleaner World,where they can be wrapped and separated for each individual recipi-ent. They will be given out in December at the Salvation Army whenthe come to pick up their food orders.

ChristmasSale!Will of the PeopleMeeting RCC November 19, 2009 7:00 PM

Tom Harrington was incharge of this meeting, BeverlyWilcox, spoke briefly. Mr.Harrington apologized for notdoing more, but said that he hasto make a living. This is true fora lot of people. If this group is tobe successful, someone has totake charge and it will likely be afull-time job. One thing oftenmentioned is getting citizens toattend county commissionersmeetings. The real stories oftenhappen in committee meetings,but I have not seen many at com-mittee meetings in the last threeyears.

Mr. Harrington spoke of theMcMichael Center as a newcounty expenditure. He was dis-appointed that the press was notpresent; I guess I was a fly on thewall to get this information.Obviously, he wanted TV andother press representatives.

Harrington has a map of thecounty that he had divided intofive regions, from each of whichhe will pick one person to makeup a committee of five. Wonderwho will be in charge? Thisgroup may be effective if thepolitical part can be resolved.

Night of Entertainment Rockingham Comm. College November 21, 2009

What a wonderful eveningof local entertainment! Thetheme was “Live at the Sandswith Sinatra and Friends”. NatePendley wrote the script for theshow. This was all in harmony,with no musical instruments, justa tuner. This was two hours ofthe best I have seen and heard ina long time.

SOUND COUNSEL is agroup that seems to enjoy beingambassadors of barbershop har-mony. Dr. Keys and DickFranklin had to fill in for TimService.

THE DOWNTOWNSOUND is composed of ladies of

harmony and they did an out-standing job of entertaining - andwhat beauty! Thanks, ladies.

EASY LIVING is anothergroup, as is “Wee Men”. Theydid a great job. Thanks to DavidWilliams, Glenn Ogden, FredConrad, and Mark Thompson.Another group, VILLAGEGREEN, is a quartet with greatharmony.

Bringing all these groupstogether for one night of enter-tainment was a great idea andwas a bargain at $5.00. Hats offto RCC for bringing us a night ofjoy. The standing ovation says itall. One note of observation -adding “My Way” at the endwould have been a nice touch anda tribute to Frank Sinatra.

NOTES FROM FORREST BRAYForrest Bray spends his limited time attending all the meetings he can get to in thecounty, he takes notes, sometimes with editorials as to what he hears at these meet-ings. We thank him for his time and occasional wit concerning these meetings andwish we could all attend more of them ourselves. Content is strictly editorial.

The November 19th Will of the People meeting was held atthe Whitcomb Center at RCC with nearly 100 present.Beverly Willcox and Tom Harrington are pictured.

Helps Patients Take the Right Medication at the Right TimeEden Drug Health Mart in Eden is now offering My Dose Alert, an innovative com-

munication tool that helps patients keep track of medications. It is proving to be an invalu-able service for people taking multiple medications and for those too busy to keep track ofmedications and proper dosing.

According to a report by the National Council of Patient Information and Education,84 percent of patients say that forgetfulness is the major cause of medication non-adher-ence. This is up from 64 percent just two years ago. Medication therapy has become moreprevalent and sophisticated over the years, with people of all ages taking multiple medica-tions. One out of two patients does not take or refill medications as instructed by the pre-scribing physician, according to the World Health Organization.

Now, Eden Drug has a solution so that patients don't have to worry about complicatedmedication schedules. Through Eden Drug, patients can receive automatic reminders byphone call, text message or email, reminding them of what medications they should be tak-ing and when.

“We are very pleased to be able to offer this important service to the residents ofRockingham County,” said Pete Crouch, Pharmacist/Owner. “We are offering it for free toeveryone in the community, not just our current patients. My Dose Alertis very valuablebecause patients taking medication incorrectly will not get the desired results. Physicianswill determine that the medication is not working and may change the medication or thedosage, possibly leading to a more expensive drug or uncomfortable side effects.”

Eden Drug has been serving the community for thirty years. With trusted, experiencedpharmacists who offer medication education, Eden Drug Health Mart can serve all yourmedication needs.

Visit Eden Drug at 103 W. Stadium Drive to receive your “My Dose Alert” enrollmentform. Let us help you remember to take your medications properly. This is just anotherway Eden Drug is Providing Solutions for Better Health! For more information call (336)627-4854 or visitwww.mydosealert.com.

He who hasnot Christmasin his heartwill neverfind it undera tree. ~RoyL. Smith

I’ve heard it said that theholiday season can be equal tomadness. From shopping tospending to eating, this is the“biggest” time ofthe year. Theadvertising thatsurrounds us tellsus bigger is moreand louder is bet-ter for practicallyeverything on theconsumer mar-ket. Our societye m p h a s i z e sexcess-to theextreme-and it’seasy to getcaught up in allof it.

Overspending temptationsbombard me at every corner.Television, radio, mail advertise-ments, sale papers, maga-zines…Each screaming “Sale!50% Off! Save Today!” As a self-confessed shopaholic, I admit Ifight the urge to whip out theplastic to pay for Christmas gifts.I could attempt to justify myweakness by rationalizing how Igot a really great deal since theitem was, after all, “On Sale”.While sales are great, I have to berealistic and stay within my bud-get. I would love to shower myfamily and friends with expen-sive and unique gifts, but theyunderstand I can’t. After all,that’s not the real meaning ofChristmas anyway.

Whatever you do this sea-son, whatever your traditions are,I hope that each and every onewill remember what Christmas istruly about. Christmas is morethan a sale, a dinner, a party, or apresent wrapped in frilly bows.It’s about the birth of Jesus. Andwhile retail and some politicianstry to shut Christ out ofChristmas, they will only be suc-

cessful if we allow them to be. So what can I do to let loved

ones know they are loved withoutexpensive gifts and withoutbreaking the bank? Of course I’llstill buy some presents thisChristmas, but here are a fewideas I have that we can all do toremember the true meaning ofChristmas. 1. Pray. Thank God for sendingHis Son who died for us. That’s

a good startingpoint. After that,thank Him for ourblessings. Whenwe think about it,that’s a really longlist. 2. Share the storyof Christmas witha friend. Invitethem to attendyour church forthe Christmas playor cantata. Younever know whenGod will use you

to plant a seed in someone else’slife. After Christmas, invite thatfriend to church again. 3. Call a loved one. Do more thansend a card this year. Even if youhaven’t talked to someone inyour family in a while, reach outand tell them how much they areloved. We never know whenthey’ll be gone for good. 4. Read the Christmas story as afamily. Gather the kids, make hotchocolate, sit by the fire, andopen the Bible. Enjoy the timetogether and thank God as a fam-ily. 5. Volunteer. Pick a charity andget involved. Ring a bell, cook ameal, or visit a shut-in.Christmas is the perfect time tospread cheer, but we can only dothat by being around people.Remember that money wastesaway but the time we spend help-ing someone can have a lastingimpact on that life.

As the Christmas seasonapproaches, I hope we can allavoid the “madness” of the sea-son and use every opportunity wecan to spread some “gladness.”Merry Christmas everyone!

The North Carolina History Class of Mrs. Cherry at Holmes Middle School had a special guest from the staff showthem the “ropes” of spinning yarn.

Mrs. Renee Shropshire, the Speech Language Pathologist at Holmes, was welcomed enthusiastically by the 8th gradeclass when she brought her spinning wheels and examples of fibers which she spins into yarns to make things such asshawls, shirts, scarves and ornaments.

The class learned of the many different kinds of fibers there are, including llama, sheep, goat, angora rabbits, alpacaand the old standby, cotton. They had the hands on experience of handling unwoven samples of fiber as well as scarvesand other things made from these types of fibers. The classes favorite was from the angora rabbit, whose fur is the soft-est of all. The class was also impressed to know that the fibers from Bamboo can also be woven into a fabric.

Shropshire has been involved in this seriously challenging hobby for only a few years and already has created manybeautiful items for gifts and self use. She hopes to eventually sell her products in local markets.

Mrs. Cherry’s class has studied cultures from the coast to the mountains, learning what the citizens of our state haveto offer by way of skills and training, and what each area is known for such as quilting, weaving, whittling, pottery andmore.

Dr. Bill McLeod’s appoint-ment to chairman of theMorehead Memorial Hospital'sBoard of Trustees in Octobermarks the first time in the hospi-tal’s history that a physician hasheld that position.

Dr. McLeod joined theBoard in 2004. He has been amember of the medical staff since1992 when he moved to Eden to

establish Women’s Health Centrewith Dr. Nigel Buist.

He received his medicaleducation and residency trainingin obstetrics and gynecologyfrom the University of WesternOntario Medical School inLondon, Ontario.

Although Dr. McLeod’sappointment marks the first timea physician has held the chair-

man’s positionon Morehead’sBoard, it wasthree physi-cians whoestablished thearea’s first for-mal hospital early in the 20thCentury.

Tri-City hospital was estab-lished in 1924 by Drs. C. V.Tyner and Kenan Casteen ofLeaksville, and Dr. H. CarlyleDixon of Madison, who saw aneed for a hospital in the Tri-Cityarea. With a $7,500 gift fromMarshall Field and Company anda $7,500 loan, a new 24-bedfacil-ity was opened. Tri-City Hospitalremained in private ownership,operated by Drs. Tyner, Casteenand Dixon, until 1953 when thefacility was sold and became a publicly owned com-

munity hospital. Soon after the sale, the newly

appointed trustees felt the needfor a more modern structure forthe public’s health care needs andthere began a campaign to build anew hospital. Stimulated by giftsfrom industry and the communi-ty, particularly $100,000 contri-butions from Fieldcrest and JohnMotley Morehead, bids were sub-mitted and the present-day hospi-tal became a reality in 1960.

Dr. McLeod’s historic appoint-ment marks the beginning ofMorehead Memorial Hospital’s50th Anniversary in 2010. Aseries of events leading up to aMay birthday celebration havebeen planned for the hospitalstaff and community.

The City of Eden has been hon-ored as an NCLM GreenChallenge municipality by theN.C. League of Municipalities.Eden achieved IntermediateLevel status by completing spe-cific activities and projects tosave energy, natural resourcesand money. Cities and towns thatachieved NCLM GreenChallenge status were honored atthe NCLM Annual Conferenceheld Oct. 25-27 at the GreenvilleConvention Center.

“Municipalities continue tolead the way in implementingsustainable operations and inno-vations that save energy, naturalresources and money,” saidMorehead City Mayor JerryJones, 2008-2009 NCLM presi-dent. “The League is proud tohonor these cities and towns thathave made tough decisions thatwill have a positive impact ontheir communities, citizens,

region and state for years tocome.”

The NCLM GreenChallenge was the brainchild twoyears ago of then-NCLMPresident Susan Burgess,Charlotte council member, as away to honor those municipali-ties that have taken the initiativeto conserve energy and naturalresources at the local governmentlevel. Approximately 80 statemunicipalities achieved LevelOne Green Challenge status lastyear. This year, 22 more havebeen approved for AdvancedLevel while 13 have beenapproved for Intermediate Level.In addition, four municipalitiesjoined the ranks of the Level OneGreen Challenge communitiesthis year.

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR

COOKING THIS CHRISTMASBy Bernie Moore, Fire Chief

As Christmas draws near, many Eden citizens will be cooking and preparing for this special time ofyear. Did you know this is when fire departments across America get a large number of their calls? Cookingfires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries.

Nearly all cooking equipment fires start with the ignition of food, other cooking materials (grease,cooking oil, etc.), or other items normally found or installed in a kitchen like cabinets, wall coverings,paper or plastic bags and curtains. • In 2005, U.S. fire departments responded to 146,400 home structure fires that involved cooking equip-ment. These fires caused 480 civilian fire deaths, 4,690 civilian fire injuries and $876 million in directproperty damage. • Cooking equipment fires are the leading cause of home structure fires and associated civilian injuries.These fires accounted for 40 percent of all reported home structure fires in 2005 and 36 percent of homecivilian injuries. • Twelve percent of the fires occurred when something that could catch fire was too close to the equipment. Safety tips • Be alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop. • Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a shortperiod of time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while foodis cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. • Keep anything that can catch fire - oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains - awayfrom your stovetop. If you have a cooking fire • Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire. • Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave. • If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out. • Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lidover the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. • For an oven fire turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

Please be safe and pay attention to what you are doing. Don’t get sidetracked and forget what’s cook-ing. The Eden Fire Department wants you to be safe and out of harm’s way.

On Nov. 17, the Eden Police Department held a swearing-in cer-emony for three recently hired police officers.

AFTER 16 YEARS OF SERVICEOn Dec. 15, Council Member Christine Myott steps down from

Ward 3 after serving 16 years for the citizens of Eden. Myott was sworn in Dec. 21, 1993. During her term she served

as Mayor Pro Tem (2003-2005) and she also represented the city onvarious committees, spending a great deal of time and effort on thecity and county solid waste committee where she served as chair for anumber of years. Other committees included the Annexation,Investment/Finance, Personnel, Public Works and Cable TV Advisorycommittees.

Early in her role as a council member, at her direction the cityformed an Eden City Youth Committee to look at what was offered toyouth in opportunities and recreation and what could be offered in thefuture. This committee was approved by City Council in 1994 and ithad a tremendous influence on the city’s Parks & RecreationDepartment. “She was an informed member of City Council who didher homework with an eye on making Eden the best possible place tolive, work and play,” City Manager Brad Corcoran said. “I've had thedistinct honor and privilege of working hand in hand with Chris Myottfor the past nine years. During this time she always voted her con-science and was deeply devoted to doing what she felt was best for thecitizens of Eden.”

Myott also participated in the decision to move the city’s admin-istrative staff into a larger structure located on East Stadium Drive thatnow includes the City Council Chambers as well as the PoliceDepartment.

“I have known Mrs. Myott for quite a number of years,” PoliceChief Reece Pyrtle said. “She has always represented the people ofthe city with passion and without prejudice. She has been an excellentmember of our City Council. I would like to thank her for everythingthat she has done and will continue to do for our city.”

Mike Dougherty, the city’s director of Economic Development,also had praise for Myott. “During my time with the city, Mrs. Myottalways voted her conscience, cared deeply about how City Councildecisions affected every citizen, and supported what she thoughtwould help the city move forward. I speak for many in expressing myappreciation for the respect she showed city employees as well.”

Myott is known for her concern for the citizens of Eden. “Shealways amazed me at how responsive she was to the needs andrequests of her constituents. If someone called her about a particularsituation she worked expeditiously and diligently to find them the cor-rect response or have the matter handled,” Corcoran said. “For the past16 years she has demonstrated a commitment to excellence, and hasplayed an instrumental role in the successes of our community. Onbehalf of the employees I would like to say ‘Thank you Chris - weappreciate you, will miss you and are grateful for your dedicated ser-vice.’”

Coming WinterIt's late fall and the Indians

on a remote reservation in SouthDakota asked their new chief ifthe coming winter was going tobe cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in amodern society, he had neverbeen taught the old secrets. Whenhe looked at the sky, he couldn'ttell what the winter was going tobe like.

Nevertheless, to be on thesafe side, he told his tribe that thewinter was indeed going to becold and that the members of thevillage should collect firewoodto be prepared..

But, being a practical leader,after several days, he got an ideaHe went to the phone booth,called the National WeatherService and asked, 'Is the comingwinter going to be cold?'

'It looks like this winter isgoing to be quite cold,' the mete-orologist at the weather serviceresponded.

So the chief went back to hispeople and told them to collecteven more firewood in order tobe prepared.

A week later, he called theNational Weather Service again.'Does it still look like it is goingto be a very cold winter?'

'Yes,' the man at NationalWeather Service again replied,'it's going to be a very cold win-ter.'

The chief again went back tohis people and ordered them tocollect every scrap of firewoodthey could find.

Two weeks later, the chiefcalled the National WeatherService again. 'Are you absolute-ly sure that the winter is going tobe very cold?'

'Absolutely,' the man replied.'It's looking more and more like itis going to be one of the coldestwinters we've ever seen.'

'How can you be so sure?' thechief asked.

The weatherman replied,'The Indians are collecting fire-wood like crazy.'

FloridaA Minnesota couple decided

to vacation to Florida during thewinter. They planned to stay atthe very same hotel where theyspent their honeymoon 20 yearsearlier. Because of hectic sched-ules, it was difficult to coordinatetheir travel schedules. So, thehusband left Minnesota and flewto Florida on Thursday. His wifewould fly down the followingday.

The husband checked intothe hotel. There was a computerin his room, so he decided tosend an e-mail to his wife.However, he accidentally left outone letter in her e-mail address,and without realizing his error, hesent the e-mail.

Meanwhile.....somewhere inHouston, a widow had justreturned home from her hus-band's funeral. He was a ministerof many years who was calledhome to glory following a sud-den heart attack. The widowdecided to check her e-mail,expecting messages from rela-tives and friends. After readingthe first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed intothe room, found his mother onthe floor, and saw the computerscreen which read:

To: My Loving WifeSubject: I've ArrivedDate: 16 May 2003I know you're surprised to hearfrom me. They have computershere now and you are allowed tosend e-mails to your loved ones.I've just arrived and have beenchecked in. I see that everythinghas been prepared for yourarrival tomorrow. Looking for-ward to seeing you then! Hopeyour journey is not as uneventfulas mine was.P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Crazy GrnadmaAn elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car,

found four males in the act of leaving with her car. She dropped hershopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them atthe top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get outof the car you dirty rotten scoundrels!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out andran like mad, whereupon the lady, shaken, proceeded to load her shop-ping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes latershe found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. Sheloaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.

The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in twowith laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where fourpale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly womandescribed as white, less than 5' tall, glasses, and curly white hair car-rying a large handgun. No charges were filed. (True story!)

If a cow laughed, would milkcome out of her nose?

MOREHEAD OVER BARLETTBy Vernita Lowe

Morehead started off the 2009-2010 J.V. Basketball season witha win over Barlett-Yanceyville. The final score was Morehead 56,Barlett 52. Morehead was up at one point by 20 points. The scorer forthe Wednesday, November 25th game were: D.J. Johnson (13), DesMcDaniel (12), Devin Neal (11), Stephen Greeson (8), Chris Hampton(5), Tony Lowe (4), Michael Smith(2), Shaquan Malloy (1), andSpencer Odell (1). There werenumerous steals and rebounds byMorehead players also. Moreheadwas 66% from the free throw line.The Morehead Panthers playedBarlett-Yanceyville again TuesdayDec. 1 at an away game.

The Board ofCommissioners normally meetson the second Monday at 6:30PM and fourth Monday at 3:30PM of each month. The Boardencourages all citizens to attendthese meetings and to address theBoard with any issues or con-cerns they may have at the publiccomment period provided at thebeginning of the first regularlyscheduled monthly meeting (sec-ond Monday at 6:30 PM).

Recently a couple of citizensraised several questions andmade requests that the Boardfeels answering would be of ben-efit to all citizens. 1. Change Time of meetings to7 PM. Over the years the Boardhas heard requests to move themeeting times to earlier in theday, the afternoon and later atnight to accommodate citizens.This Board and other Boardsacross the state have varied timesof meetings to accommodate citi-zens but attendance changes lit-tle. The Board holds most of itspublic hearings on various mat-ters at 7 PM on the first meetingof the month to allow citizensmore time to attend meetings.The 6:30 PM and 3:30 PM timeperiods are intended to provideflexibility and to allow countybusiness to be conducted withouthaving to extend into late hoursof the night. 2. Print Agendas in Newspapers.This is a good idea and the Boardwill consider. We have solicitedcooperation of newspaper editorsbut have no control over whatand when information can bepublished. Public support in thismatter will be helpful. TheCounty is also in the process ofrevamping its website. We cur-rently publish Board meetingagendas online 3 – 4 days beforeeach meeting. 3. Provide more explanation oneach agenda item. Another goodidea. The County will look intoscanning the agenda item expla-nation material with the onlineagenda. 4. Public Comment Period ateach meeting. Very few peopletake advantage of the publiccomment period that is presentlyprovided and the Board feels thatthis period of time is adequate to

allow citizens to express theircomments on various issues. 5. Allow questions and answersat each public comment period.The intent is to hear from thepublic. The Board meets to workthrough a scheduled agenda ofitems, many of which have timeconstraints to handle. Allowingtime for questions and answers ateach meeting would hinder theability of the county to take careof often pressing matters. To thecontrary, the Board does listenvery carefully to citizen’s con-cerns and can and will addressissues and concerns at a later timeif warranted. 6. Only borrow money by a voteof the People. North Carolinalaw allows a wide array of bor-rowing options for counties andmunicipalities. The Boardbelieves that it is wise to keep allborrowing options open to meetthe needs of its citizens. 7. Publish FAX numbers foreach Commissioner. Not allCommissioners have identicalmodes of communication, but allCommissioner phone numbersare published. Our system offaxing concerns to the Clerkassures the citizen that eachCommissioner will have thesame information. The Clerkshares with all Commissioners,as well as staff when applicable.Everyone needs to be equallyaware. 8. Who pays if the proposedEquestrian Center operates at aloss? Our consultant for theHorse Park is Mr. Glenn Petty.Mr. Petty is one of the top horseshow promoters and producers inthe country and is currently VicePresident of the InternationalArabian Horse Association. Mr.Petty ran the Governor HuntEquestrian Center in Raleigh for20 years. He has provided a fea-sibility study of the proposedcenter that shows the center willoperate with a slight profit afterthe center is fully operational(third year). The County will usetwo cents of hotel occupancy taxas a reserve as well as revenuefrom the sale and lease of com-mercial property to be developedon the front 70 acres of the park.Additionally, the park will gener-ate significant new commercial

development in the area immedi-ately adjacent to this facility.None of this development wouldmaterialize without the develop-ment of the park. Some of thenew tax revenue generated fromthis development could be usedto cover an operating loss if nec-essary. Finally, the park will gen-erate a considerable increase insales tax revenue. A portion ofthis new added revenue couldalso be used if needed. TheBoard has proceeded cautiouslywith the development of the parkto make sure that developmentand benefit assumptions aresound. The main reason fordeveloping the park is to stimu-late the area economy and to cre-ate jobs. A similar facility inLexington, Virginia has beendocumented to have producedover 700 jobs for the area econo-my with direct annual economicbenefit of over $45 million peryear. The horse park is the cata-lyst to develop a major horseindustry cluster of economicactivity in this region. Therecently completed NorthCarolina Equine Study commis-sioned by the State GeneralAssembly thoroughly documentsthe current major impact of thisindustry on the state economyand the potential to greatlyexpand this industry in the state.
