STAND UP AND BE COUNTEDBy Debbie Galloway, City Planner

The U.S. Constitution requires that a national census be taken once every 10 years. All U.S. residentsmust be counted – people of all races and ethnic groups, citizens and non-citizens of the U.S.

Census Day is April 1, 2010 and each household should receive their census form in the mail some-time in March. This year’s census form has been shortened to 10 questions, and should only take about10 minutes to fill out. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share your personal information with anyone,including any other federal agencies, so your information will remain private.

It is very important that you complete your census form, since population counts help determine howfederal funds are allocated to states and local communities. Census information also helps to determinewhere to build roads, schools, hospitals and other institutions. Businesses also use this data to decidewhere to locate new business. Census data determines how many seats each state will have in the U.S.House of Representatives.

The City of Eden staff has been busy updating maps and address information to ensure that the CensusBureau gets an accurate count of ALL residents of the city.

campaign was launched in 1958to raise money to build a newhospital. In order to meet thenecessary requirements to qualifyfor state and federal funds total-ing $750,000, the communityneeded to raise $500,000.Fieldcrest employees set a goalof $150,000 for the hospital cam-paign, but far exceeded that goalby securing a total pledge of$223,000. Fieldcrest Mills madea corporate donation of$100,000. Other communitymembers raised the remainingbalance.

The new MoreheadMemorial Hospital was built on22 acres of land donated by SprayPower, Water and LandCompany. John Motley

Morehead donated another$100,000 which enabled anunplanned fourth floor to be builtand the hospital to be named forhim. The hospital opened itsdoors on May 5, 1960, markingthe beginning a new era of healthcare in the Eden area.

Over the next 50 years,Morehead Memorial Hospitalwould undergo numerous expan-sion and renovation projects toimprove technology and provideadditional health care services tothe community. The main cam-pus is now home to the Smith-McMichael Cancer Center,Morehead Nursing Center, andthree medical office buildings.

In addition to the main cam-pus, Morehead MemorialHospital has three off-campussites: the Wright DiagnosticCenter at 618 S. Pierce Street,

which houses laboratory anddiagnostic imaging services, aWound Healing Center, the LouMcMichael Miracle BreastImaging Suite, the MoreheadMemorial Hospital Foundation,and patient financial services;and Morehead PhysicalRehabilitation in the MeadowGreens Plaza, which providesphysical therapy, occupationaltherapy, speech and languagetherapy, massage therapy, andfunctional capacity evaluations.

The traveling history displaykicks off a series of events thathave been planned to recognize50 years of caring for the com-munity, culminating with a"birthday party" on May 1.

DEVELOPMENT

CENTER CLOSESWentworth - On Jan. 12,Rockingham CommunityCollege President, Dr. RobertKeys, announced to the RCCBoard of Trustees that the col-lege will close its five-star childdevelopment center on May 28.The board supported the deci-sion.

“This was an extremelydifficult decision to make,” saidKeys. “I truly regret it, butwhen we looked at the num-bers, we realized this decisionwas unavoidable.”

The numbers involveenrollment and costs.Currently, the center has 66children enrolled; close to 50percent of its full operationalcapacity of 120. Of the 66,only 21 are children of RCCstudents.

“Originally, the center wasopened on campus in 1990 toprovide needed child care ser-vices to preschool children ofour students who otherwisewould not have been able toattend college,” said Keys.However, Keys added, thenumber of students using thefacility has declined steadilyover the past few years.

students, the number of individ-uals in the community and RCCfaculty using the center hasdropped nearly 50 percent inthree years.

“I believe the economy isdriving this trend,” said Keys.“Parents are finding the cost ofchild care too expensive fortheir budgets.”

Although fewer childrenare enrolled in the center, costsfor running and maintaining thefacility have increased.Theoretically, said Keys, with anearly 50 percent decline inenrollment, fees would have todouble in order to operate thecenter.

The six full-time andseven part-time child develop-ment center instructors and staffmembers have been notified ofthe May 28 closing date.Parents were notified of thedecision today.

“We have a contractthrough May 28 with Headstart,and we will fulfill that con-tract,” said Keys. “We wantedto announce the closing datenow in order to give everyonedirectly impacted by this deci-sion ample time to make alter-nate child care arrangements orsecure other employment.”

Keys said he is proud ofthe center and the positiveimpact its faculty and staff have had onthe lives of hundreds of chil-dren throughout its 20 years ofoperation.

• How does the city decide whichstreets get plowed first? The City of Eden Public WorksDepartment plows the streets thatare segregated by traffic volumefirst. The most heavily traveledroads are assigned as first priori-ty streets. These roads are themain thoroughfares through thecity and the major roads in andout of subdivisions. Thenext classification is sec-ond priority roads. Theseare the connecting roadswithin subdivisions. Theremaining streets are seg-regated by the grade of thestreet, or the steepness of the hillson those streets. If the street hasa hill that is six percent or greaterthen the street is assigned to thethird priority list. All otherstreets fall in the residential clas-sification. These streets are pre-dominantly flat and easily negoti-ated during light snow storms.The first, second and third priori-ty streets receive deicing treat-ment for virtually every storm.The residential streets are plowedwhen snow accumulation on theroad exceeds two inches. In thecase of a severe ice event everystreet in the system receives deic-ing treatment in order of their pri-ority ranking.

• Why do the city snow plowspush snow into my driveway andwho is responsible for clearingit? During normal snow plowingoperations, some snow may beleft in your driveway. Plows areangled to the right for plowingfrom the centerline of the street tothe curb. For this reason, a certainamount of snow will be depositedin driveways. Snow left in drive-ways or on sidewalks by the city

while snow plowing is the resi-dents and owners responsibilityto remove.

• I just shoveled my driveway.Why did the city snow plow pushsnow on it? When plowing, the snow mayend up on the driveway you justshoveled. We apologize for the

inconvenience this causesyou. If your schedulepermits, you may want towait and clear your drive-way after city plows havepassed through yourstreet. If it is a significant

snowfall, the snowplows willprobably be back. Streets are typ-ically opened with one passthrough, so that streets can bemade passable for drivers as soonas practical. Snowplows mayreturn to open the street curb-to-curb. This is done to clear areasfor on-street parking, where it is

permitted, and to allow meltingsnow to drain into catch basins.We regret that you may find someof this snow on your recentlyshoveled driveway and you haveto shovel it again. SNOW REMOVAL TIP… If yourdriveway is cleared before thestreet is completed, clear the areato the right of the driveway if youare facing the house, (the oncom-ing side). When the plow comesby the snow will dump in thisclear area instead of your drive-way approach. The more snowyou clear from this area, the lesswill be deposited at your drive-way entrance.

• Can snow from my driveway beblown into the street? Snow may not be pushed orblown into the street from privateproperty. The large piles leftbehind can create hazards formotorists. Please keep this in

mind when clearing your drive-way. If you hire a private serviceto clear your driveway or parkinglot, let the contractor know.

• Who do I contact if a city snowplow damages my lawn?

If a city snow plow causes lawndamage, please contact the Cityof Eden Public WorksDepartment at (336) 627-7783 onnormal business days between7:00am and 3:00pm.

The averagedog has onerequest to allhumankind.Love me."~ H e l e nExley

Temperatures have droppedto record lows and the remnantsof month old snow still lurk inshady spots all around our town.Cold weather hashit us hard overthe last fewweeks. We feelthe stinging windas we wrap ourcoats tightly andhead out thedoor. We put ongloves, maybe anextra pair ofsocks, and make sure our kidswear an undershirt. Maybeyou’ve enjoyed a nice pot of veg-etable soup and a warm grilledcheese sandwich…Or chillybeans with crackers. “Good foryou” food—the kind that warmsyou from the inside out.

But what about our ani-mals? Do you have dogs or catsor any other living animal thatdepends on you for survival? Arethey warm and taken care of?Yes, I know that animals have athick coat of fur, but in the frigidtemperatures we have been expe-riencing, even the animals getcold. Wild animals are free toroam in search of food, water andshelter—a freedom that domesti-cated animals do not have. Theydepend on us totally for survivaland do not deserve to be left inthe cold. Remember that waterfreezes, and no animal can drinkfrozen water. When we get too

cold, our feet and hands hurt. Thesame is true for animals. Theirpaws can hurt and even becomefrostbitten.

I am aware that some peoplewill never agree with me inthinking that a family pet actual-ly belongs in the home. I do how-ever think it sad that those whodo not share their home with theiranimals will never know the truecompanionship an animal canbring to one’s life. Dogs especial-

ly are pack ani-mals and long tobe near people.They deservemore than a lifecondemned to thefar corner of ayard on a shortchain or a littlepen with no roomfor exercise.

I firmly believe that being aresponsible pet owner consists ofmuch more than delivering foodand water to an animal once aday. We must love our animalsand show compassion towardsthem and care for their well-being. If you are a pet owner,please take some extra precau-tions during these winter monthsto see that your animal has theprovisions it needs to stay warmand healthy this winter. I urgeyou to bring your animals inside,but if this is not a possibility,check the water often, provide anextra blanket for warmth, andtake steps to see that your animalis dry and blocked from the icywind.

Animals cannot talk, but ifthey could, I bet they’d say“Thank you” and “I love you.”As for me, a lick and the wag ofmy dog’s tail is all I need to knowthat I am loved.

TheMulberryLoveLegend

Manymay ask, how did red mulberriesget their color? The answer istold in Greek folklore in the lovestory of “Pyramus and Thisbe,” two neighboringteenagers whofell in love whenthey becameadults. Their par-ents disap-proved, but thelovers communicated secretlythrough a small crack in the wallseparating their homes. One nightthey ran away to elope, butThisbe was frightened away fromtheir rendezvous point, near awhite mulberry tree by a bloodymouthed lion that had just fin-ished her meal. Thisbe escapedand hid but left her cloak behind,which the lion mauled and blood-ied. Pyramus seeing the lion’sbloody mouth and Thisbe’s cloakupon arrival imagined the worstand impaled himself on his own

sword. His blood colored themulberries red. When Thisbefound him and realized what hadhappened, she followed him indeath on the same sword. TheEuropean mulberry species hasbeen red ever since.

God’s great love story is nolegend, myth or fantasy. Itunfolds before our eyes in the

pages of HisWord. God in Hisbountiful love tous despised theshame andendured the cross,

so that we might go free.Philippians 2:7-8, “But madehimself of no reputation, andtook upon him the form of a ser-vant, and was made in the like-ness of men: And being found infashion as a man, he humbledhimself, and became obedientunto death, even the death of thecross.”To find out more about “Trees ofBiblical Days Come to Life”please visit www.treesofbiblical-days.com, www.amazon.com orReidsville Bible Book Store.

married. It is nerve wrackingbecause, I don’t care how old youare, you have NO idea what ittakes to BE married if you havenever been married. Oh yes, youget what it takes to find someonewho you love, but few get whatgoes into actually being married.Few have given many thoughts towhat they need, or what they arecapable of giving, as a part of aunit. I believe my daughter hasmade a great choice with thepartner with whom she is aboutto unite, and he has made one aswell. I believe that they are com-mitted to the institution of mar-riage (which you need as much asa commitment to your partner)and want to be with each other“til death do them part”. I believethey are on the same page withregards to, work ethic, sharinghousehold chores, wanting chil-dren, family values, educationallevel and educational goals,finances, and their faith. That is agreat start. I have suggested tomy daughter that they establishtraditions that they both respectand hold dear. I told them tonever hold a grudge, never go tobed or leave the house angry, tohold hands often and express

their appreciation and love daily.They agree. I told my daughter toalways maintain a great appear-ance for herself (she already doesactually) and for their home andto praise him for keeping hisappearance (well worded compli-ments are valuable). I told her tokeep a positive outlook, remem-ber through everything that mayever happen that he is the rightone. I told her to never entertainthe notion that divorce is anoption. I said,” Remember tocelebrate your union and runfrom people who put down theirpartner, spouse or marriage, thatnegativity is contagious.” As Ispoke to her, it recharged me.Speaking positive sends positivemessages to the listener and backto the giver. I thought more abouthow much I love my spouse andstopped a few time while typingthis to give him a little kiss or hug(it took me longer than ever totype but three times as muchfun). And that, my friend, is mypoint. Be positive in your wordsand thoughts. Speak and listen topositive, productive and peacefulmessages, the rewards of doingso are worth celebrating. Now Ihave to find my dress! Think pos-itive thoughts for me!

NEW EMPLOYEES JOIN RCC FACULTY AND STAFFWENTWORTH - The workforce upheavalover the past decade has recently netted acouple of new employees for RockinghamCommunity College.

Danny Edwards worked 21 years inretail management, rising from assistant storemanager at K&K Toys to senior district man-ager and back to store manager when thecompany was purchased by KB Toys. Sometime after the sale, Edwards realized KB Toyswas failing so he turned to AlamanceCommunity College to pursue one of his interest – computers.

“I bought my first computer around 2000 and was fascinatedwith it. After taking a few computer classes, I decided to changecareers.”

Edwards earned an associate degree in information systems inMay 2002 and went to work that fall as a network support technicianwith Acucote, Inc. in Graham. He loved thework but in 2009, Edwards was laid off.When the computer support specialist posi-tion came open at RCC, it was a godsend.

“My son graduated in 2006 from RCC’sBLET program, so I was familiar with thecollege and liked it,” said Edwards.

Edwards lives in Mebane. His mainduties at RCC are repairing campus comput-ers and projectors, as well as providing tech-nical support for computer users.

Another pink slip victim, Tim Carter, has been hired as seniorcustodian. Carter is no stranger to the college. After working 20years as a supervisor with Stoneville Furniture Company, Carter losthis job and began working for Bullins Janitorial Services out ofMadison. Then he was hired by WeiserSecurity in High Point. One of his jobs forWeiser was to work as a security guard atRCC, which he did for five years. He stillprovides this service on the weekends.

During the week, Carter is now responsi-ble for custodial duties in the AdvancedTechnologies building.

“It keeps me busy,” he says, laughing,“but I really enjoy the job.”

Rhonda Mangione replaced RobertShields as cosmetology instructor after Shields retired on Jan. 1.Shields and Mangione have orbited each other professionally foryears. “I feel like I’ve come full circle,” said Mangione who workedas an apprentice cosmetologist in Shields’ hair salon in Graham in1984.

Mangione then took a job with Regis Hairstylist for 10 years,including a seven year stint as manager of the store in the Eden Mall.While working in Eden, she helped Shields in the classroom at RCC.

“I enjoyed teaching and Robert encouraged me to get a teach-ing license.” She did. Afterward, Mangione taught either part-timeor full-time at Alamance Community College, RockinghamCommunity College, Guilford Technical Community College, andDavidson Community College.

A resident of Whitsett, Mangione graduated in 1983 fromAlamance Beauty School and in 2009, she earned an associate inapplied science in cosmetology from GTCC.

NEW ANNE & FRAN BOOK IN STORESSisters Anne and Fran have published their second children’s

book, The True Story of Kitty Clyde, along with illustrator StacyJenkins. Their first book, The Goat in the Roxy Theater, was pub-lished in 2008.

Set in the 1800’s, this fascinating tale is about a strong bondbetween a man and his horse. Brewster is a mail carrier who dependson his horse, Kitty Clyde, to help him deliver the mail in all types ofweather. When a surprising discovery is made, Brewster and KittyClyde must make a dangerous delivery. Their teamwork is impor-tant, and Brewster knows he can count on Kitty Clyde’s strength anddetermination. Kitty Clyde has one surprise for Brewster, and he dis-covers just how much he loves his horse and just how special KittyClyde really is.

Anne and Fran grew up in Bassett, Virginia, with a love ofbooks and storytelling. “Anne” is Anne Marie Freeman, aPsychology and Women’s Studies instructor at RockinghamCommunity College. Her sister, “Fran” is Fran Ross Snead, a fifthgrade teacher at John Redd Smith Elementary School in Collinsville,Virginia. Stacy Jenkins is an elementary art teacher in Martinsville,Virginia. The trio attended a book signing for local authors onFebruary 4th at Barnes and Nobles in Greensboro. Published byXlibris, their books are currently available at amazon.com.

The Benefits of Managing Your WeightTwo out of three adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese. And our children are following close-

ly in our footsteps. It’s a recipe for a public health disaster with ripple effects felt far and wide. It’seasy to see why weight gain has become epidemic: Cheap junk food, everywhere you turn.Technological innovations that make it possible to rarely lift a finger. Car-dependent suburbs. Busyschedules.

Yes, the decks may seem stacked against you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take charge andmake a change. And, in many cases, a little weight loss goes a very long way. Did you know that losing weight can greatly improve survival for many obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease,diabetes, and cancer?

Consider this:• Even losing as little as 5 to 10 pounds can lower blood pressure.• People at risk for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the disease with weight loss and extra

activity. If you already have the disease, losing as little as 10 to 15 pounds can lower blood sugar levels, making it possible to use less medicine.

• A 10 percent weight loss results in improved sleep and reduced daytime sleepiness for people with obstructive sleep apnea (a sleep disorder).

• People with asthma (a chronic lung disease) who lost an average of 30 pounds over a year experienced improved lung function, fewer asthma episodes, and better overall health.

• Whether achieved through diet or exercise, moderate weight loss in healthy but overweight middle-aged adults restored the heart’s elasticity right away.

And, that’s not all. Weight loss also reduces levels of blood fats and stress on joints. You can move and breathe easier and have more energy to do all the things you love to do.

Do you need to lose weight? If so, what are the “damages?” Search online for the term body mass index (BMI) and you’ll find several places to calculate your BMI. These calculators compare your height and weight, and indicate whether you are underweight, overweight, or at a healthy weight.

If you need to shed some pounds, the formula is simple: the calories you burn must equal the calo-ries you eat. A few steps in the right direction? Eat smaller portions, choose low-fat and low-calorie foods, and avoid sugary drinks. Also add activity to your day, whenever you can: walk during your lunch hour; grab a game of ping-pong with your kids; take the stairs, not the elevator.

Simple? Yes. Easy? Rarely. But here are a few strategies that may help:• Set realistic goals – don’t try to do too much too fast. For example, start by adding an extra serving

of vegetables each day or 30 minutes of extra exercise each week. Make this a habit, and then move on to another change.

• Avoid diets, but make rules you can live with. For example, don’t eliminate treats altogether, but limit them to once a week.

• Stock up on healthier foods and keep tempting ones out of the house as much as you can.• Serve food on smaller plates and bowls.• Weigh yourself at least once a week.• Find an exercise partner for support.

Do you want to know more about over-the-counter or prescription weight-loss products? Areyou taking medications that might cause weight gain? Our pharmacist staff can help answer your ques-tions. For more information, visit www.healthmart.com and click on “Health and Wellness.” In theWellness Library, you’ll find many articles about weight control.

As always, don’t hesitate to ask our pharmacy staff about any questions you have. You can also find more information at www.health mart.com/.

WENTWORTH - At the Jan. 12meeting of the RockinghamCommunity College Board ofTrustees, elections were the firstorder of business. The followingwere elected to serve a two-yearterm: Barbara Moore ofReidsville, chairman; GraysonWhitt of Eden, vice-chairman;Dr. Robert Keys, president ofRCC, re-elected as secretary.

Vice-President forInstruction, Dr. Sheila Ruhland,then provided the board with anoverview of the fifth-year interimreport recently submitted to theSouthern Association of Collegesand Schools, the accrediting bodyfor educational institutions forthis area. This is a requiredreport. Colleges are reviewed foraccreditation by the organizationonce every 10 years. RCC willundergo the full accreditationprocess in 2014.

Dr. Bob Lowdermilk, vice-president for student develop-ment, announced preliminaryenrollment figures. As of Jan. 5,the last date students could regis-ter, 2,492 students had enrolled.

This is an increase of nearly 16percent over the same point in2009 and a 34 percent increaseover the same point in 2008.

Turning to business matters,the board voted to increase diplo-ma replacement fees from fivedollars to $35 effective Jan. 12.Due to revisions in formatting,each replacement of a diplomarequires the development of anew engraving plate. The newfee to replace one diploma, saidVP for Administrative Services,Steve Woodruff, accuratelyreflects the cost of replacementand is within the range of feescharged by other institutions.

The board also approved anamendment to the approved2009-10 budget. Earlier in thefiscal year, colleges wererequired to send five percent oftheir budgets to the state. Theamendment reflects the state’srefunding of two percent back tocolleges. For RockinghamCommunity College the two per-cent relief represents $189,950.The board also accepted the2008-09 annual equipment audit

summary report from the statecommunity college system.

Board members werepleased to accept a monetary giftfrom Pizza Hut designated for theRCC men’s basketball program.The funds were used for theEagles Tip-Off Tournament heldin November. They were alsohappy with the gift of a 16,000frac tank from Williams GasPipeline-Transco. The tank willbe used as a rescue training toolfor the emergency services pro-gram of study.

Dr. Tony Gunn, associatevice-president for administrative services, stated that the outsidecampus lighting project is com-plete and that replacement ofplexiglass panels in theAdvanced Technologies Buildingwill be completed when theweather becomes warmer.

Dr. Keys discussed with thetrustees the history and currentstatus of the Child DevelopmentCenter and his decision to dis-continue the center’s operationon May 28, 2010. The trusteesregretted that this decision wasnecessary but concurred with thePresident’s actions.

The next RCC Board ofTrustees meeting is slated forMarch 9 at 4 p.m. in the GwynBoard Room.

RCC BOARD OF TRUSTEES ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

Page 18: 2-5-10

Rep. Nelson Cole recentlyvisited the sixth grade students atHolmes Middle School in Edento speak in honor of theLeadership program which hasbeen put into place over the pastfew months at the school.

Teacher, Melissa Waldrop,explaines a little about the newprogram, “We are trying to getstudents to feel better aboutthemselves. We let them knowthat they are important to us. OnFriday's we call it "Dress toImpress". Several students cometo school in a suit or a dress. Theother grade levels have starteddressing on Friday's, too.”

“We are going to have a dayand let the students be theteacher. If they really excel indrawing, playing video games,writing poems etc. We try toinstill positive attitudes towardeach other,” Waldrop said.

On Friday, January 22nd,Vice Principal Nichole Lancasterof Holmes Middle School inEden welcomed Rep. NelsonCole and introduced him to threestudents who would show theState House Representativearound the school and a fewclassrooms.

Sixth grade students CorbinWatson, Georgia Stophel andTyler Dabbs led Cole the newWhite Boards in classrooms, thelibrary, choral room, gymnasiumand dining room while explain-ing the process of the gradessome 300 students daily activi-ties.

They also explained the“Love Links” hanging on varioushall walls and in classrooms.According to Corbin Watson, stu-dents donated a quarter for each

link, and the money raised will besent to help in Haiti.

As the program began in thecafeteria Cole was introduced bystudent, Joshua Fashina with ashort personal history of theleader.

Coles message was based on“Dream the biggest dream youcan dream.” He told the studentshow he didn’t set out after schoolto go into politics. His expertisein his earlier years includedworking with the automotiveindustry and that led into openinghis own dealership in the early1980’s.

Being a business owner iswhat eventually led to his interestin politics due to the rules andregulations politicians wereputting on the small businessowners at the time.

Each change he made wasdifficult but worth the struggle.He ran for office in 1990 and lost,but he didn’t give up. In 1992 heagain ran and was successful inhis attempt, he is now serving his8th term in the State House ofRepresentatives for the 56thDistrict. In addition to his posi-tion Cole is chairman of over 10committees in the state.

Although not everyone willtake the road to college, Colenoted that education is a dooropener, but it doesn’t guarantee ajob. Hard work and determinationare the key to any successful plan.

Students were prompted toask questions of the leader andone in particular was how does hedeal with all the responsibilities,to which he answered, “You putforth effort, totally focus on theproject. But cut off the pressurewhen you go home.” Cole noted

that when he left the school hewould be picking up his threeyear old grandson and playingwith him a few hours, which isone way he de-stresses.

He said some of his hardestchallenges in his job is dealingwith opposing positions andknowing that North Carolina citi-zens need help in certain areasand having to find the money todo it.

To bring education into focusfor the students Cole went over alist of what on average personsearn in certain situations notingthat a non-high school graduateaverages only $18,800 per yearwith a graduate earning $24,900.An associates degree raises thisfigure to $31,500, a Bachelors to$39,000 and a professionaldegree such as a doctor or lawyercan earn $75,000 and up.

The program was brought toa close with student, TelashaBaize, thanking Rep. Cole for histime and program.

Matt Brownback, a teacherat Holmes Middle School said,“The Leadership Program hasbeen a great new asset to theschool. The students have reallybought into the program and itshows. Students are working hardto achieve their educationalgoals, both long and short term,that they have set for themselves.It's great to see students takingresponsibility for what they areaccomplishing in school.”

He added, “It's neat to seethe kids applying Covey's habitsin their lives. With some studentsyou can really see them thinkingabout the habits before they makea decision.

He and others are hopingthey can secure the funding to beformally trained in this programso the school can continue toimplement and improve throughthis program.

JUST SITTING AROUND? ... NOT A CHANCEMAYODAN - Ernie Johnson is well knownthe town of Mayodan. For several years he hasran his business of Ernie’s Coins andCollectibles at 306 W. Main Street, and madesure the community knows their welcomeanytime.

He likes to talk to everyone and takes thetime to really listen. And still, even if you hadknown him for a while, you may not realize heis a survivor of a double amputation.

Ernie doesn’t like to call it a disability,because he is able to do more than most who don’t have any disabil-ity to speak of.

The 69 year young business owner was a former WallpaperHanger who because of diabetes lost both his feet to the disease, onein 2000 and the next in 2004.

During the ordeal he spent a lot of time in a wheel chair, watch-ing a lot of television, and the world go by without him. That didn’tlast long though, because he just couldn’t give up. Getting boredwith the situation, be went to work on his gardening, worked a busi-ness at the Eden Flea Market and eventually opened his own busi-ness in the town he loves, Mayodan.

Although coins were his first love, he expanded to take in pret-ty much anything of use to the community, including movies onDVD’s, music CD’s, games and game systems, what-nots, antiques,cards and much more.

Ernie also likes to support the community and wants to form aMerchants Association for Mayodan. He hopes that all the merchantsthat are interested in the area will contact him and talk about whatcould be done to bring more people into the shopping district. He canbe contacted at Ernie’s Coin Shop & Collectables located at 220 W.Main St., Mayodan or by calling him at 336-616-4115.

He knows how much the community has suffered in this econ-omy and keeps his prices low and his hopes high, oh yeah, and thereis always a smile on his face to help lighten your mood.

His advice to others, get up and go, do something. Get out andbe with people, be a part of the community. His message to everyoneis you’re only disabled if you act like you are. He, with no feet, stillmanages to mow his yard, garden, and run a full time business, allwhile supporting his fellow citizens as much as he can.

Facts About Rockingham County

North Carolina

Did You Know...The North Carolina General Assembly created Rockingham County from the northern portion of GuilfordCounty on December 29, 1785. The new county was named for Charles Watson Wentworth, the SecondMarquis of Rockingham, who served as Great Britain’s Prime Minister from 1765-1766 and in 1782.

In 1786 the first session of the Rockingham County Court of Pleas and Quarter Session convened at thehome of Adam Tate at Eagle Falls on the south side of the Dan River. A site for a county seat was securedin 1787 on the land of Constantine Perkins and Charles Gallaway near the center of the county.

The site was located on a high ridge just east of Rockhouse Creek between Bear and Rocky branches.Public buildings were then constructed and the county court convened in the new courthouse in November1787. Action by the General Assembly in 1798 established the town of “Wentworth” at the county seat.

RALEIGH - - Gov. Perduerecently announced that MCNChas received $28.2 million inbroadband funding through theAmerican Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) tobuild a 480-mile fiber-optic net-work for the North CarolinaResearch and Education Network(NCREN). The design, con-struction and operation of thenetwork are estimated to createmore than 230 engineering andconstruction jobs. In addition,the network has the potential toserve more than 1,500 school andcommunity institutions, 180,000businesses and more than300,000 underserved families.

“Increased broadband accessfor underserved areas is a criticalinfrastructure improvement thatwill help businesses of all sizescreate jobs,” said Gov. Perdue.“NCREN will also play a vitalrole as part of my Career andCollege – Ready, Set, Go!Initiative—which will helpensure those businesses haveaccess to a well-trained work-force.”

This funding will allowNorth Carolina to leverage theexisting NCREN to create morerobust access for our schools,libraries and public health facili-ties, while also reaching ourunderserved citizens

MCNC will begin immedi-ately to undertake the work ofplanning and building the newmiddle-mile fiber. Within thenext 60 days, MCNC will issueseveral requests for proposal(RFP) for the design, construc-tion and operation of the net-work. Construction is expectedto last up to three years.

The new fiber build will tra-

verse 37 counties in NorthCarolina. Counties in easternN.C. include: Beaufort, Bladen,Carteret, Columbus, Craven,Cumberland, Edgecombe,Greene, Harnett, Johnston, Nash,New Hanover, Onslow, Pender,Pitt, Robeson, Wake, and Wilson.In the west, counties include:Alexander, Buncombe, Burke,Caldwell, Catawba, Cleveland,Davidson, Davie, Gaston,Haywood, Henderson, Iredell,Jackson, Lincoln, McDowell,Mecklenburg, Polk, Rutherford,and Transylvania.

MCNC raised $11.7 millionin matching funds for its success-ful project application throughprivate sources, including $4 mil-lion from the MCNC endow-ment, making the total project a$40 million investment in NorthCarolina’s broadband infrastruc-ture.

“MCNC is doing a greatpublic service through theirefforts to help bridge the digitaldivide among our communities,”Rep. Price said. “MCNC’s pro-ject ensures that North Carolina’sbroadband infrastructure willremain a strong foundation forthe state’s 21st century economyby enhancing the state’s capacityfor collaborative research, devel-opment, education, and innova-tion. It also provides further evi-dence that the Recovery Act ismeeting the needs of Americanfamilies.”

In addition, this project ispart of a coordinated strategy toenhance feasibility of HealthInternet Technology (HIT) initia-tives across the state, resulting inimproved access to health ser-vices. The MCNC plan has beencoordinated closely with other

applications for federal economicrecovery funds in North Carolina,including those in the areas ofhealth care and education.The ARRA appropriated $7.2 bil-lion and directed the U.S.Department of Agriculture’sRural Utilities Service (RUS) andthe U.S. Department ofCommerce’s NationalTelecommunications InformationAdministration (NTIA) toexpand broadband access tounserved and underserved com-munities across the U.S., increasejobs, spur investments in technol-ogy and infrastructure, and pro-vide long-term economic bene-fits. The result is the RUSBroadband Initiatives Program(BIP) and the NTIA BroadbandTechnology OpportunitiesProgram (BTOP).

“We were very pleased tolearn of the BTOP award toMCNC,” said Mike Murphy,chairman of the MCNC Board ofDirectors. “The 480 miles ofnew fiber throughout the westernand southeastern part of NorthCarolina will ensure that our K-12 schools, universities, commu-nity colleges, university hospi-tals, and other community anchorinstitutions (libraries, publichealth) will have access to unlim-ited amounts of bandwidth nowand into the future. All NorthCarolinians will benefit from thepublic/private partnership thatcreated this application.”

MCNC is an independent,non-profit organization thatemploys advanced networkingtechnologies and systems to con-tinuously improve learning andcollaboration throughout NorthCarolina’s K20 education com-munity. MCNC providesadvanced communications tech-nologies and support servicesthat enable access to 21st centurylearning applications and offersthe opportunity to improve teach-ing, learning, research and col-laboration among NorthCarolina’s education community.For a quarter century, the 501c3non-profit organization, MCNC,has operated a robust, secure,exclusive communications net-work that has connected the insti-tutions of the University of NorthCarolina System, DukeUniversity and Wake ForestUniversity to each other andthrough advanced research net-works such as Internet2 andNational Lambda Rail, to theworld.

Rockingham County PlanningBoardJanuary 19, 2910

The Planning Board beforea full house. The item of interestto those in attendance was a pro-posed addition to the UnifiedDevelopment Ordinance con-cerning kennels. Members ofthe audience who spoke to theBoard were decidedly against theaddition as it is written, or hadquestions on how it would beimplemented. Following thepublic comment period, theBoard voted unanimously totable the addition until thePlanning Department staff has anopportunity to study the proposaland make possible changes.Rockingham CountyCommissioners MeetingJanuary 11, 2010

There was a very goodturnout for this meeting and Ihope it continues. Four speakersfrom a group called “The Will ofthe People” presented the bigissue of the meeting. Theypointed out the way the county isspending money in thesedepressed economic times.Thomas Harrington gave a pre-sentation on the Horse Park pro-ject and included informationfrom other established horseparks. The Lexington, Virginia,horse center was sold by the statebecause of the financial drain to anon-profit group. The non-prof-it is now struggling to keep thecenter operating. They incurreda debt of $11 million and anannual payment of $600,000 onthat debt. Mr. Harrington saidthat the director of the Virginiacenter has agreed to come toRockingham County and talkwith the commissioners. Mr.Harrington also asked the com-missioners what would be the

source of money for the county’shorse park and other future pro-jects, if it were not financiallyprofitable. In addition, energycosts continue to go up and hurteveryone. People are mad andthey plan to keep the pressure onto control government spending.

Several speakers mentionedhow hard it is to make it thesedays, with costs as high as theyare. One person said that we arespending more on animals andhorses than on trying to house thehomeless. Another person gavestatistics on other horse centersacross the country in financialtrouble. Another asked the com-missioners to hold down taxes,keep their campaign promises,and honor requests to cut pro-jects.

Chairman Bass told thegroup that there would be aplanned meeting in the nearfuture so that everyone wouldhave a chance to speak.

In other business, relocatingthe Election Board to theBusiness and Technology build-ing would give them much need-ed space. The New Life ClubHouse will move to the former911 center. Cost estimates forthese moves are $100,000, withsome of the work to be done byin-house labor. This needs to becompleted soon, with electionsjust around the corner.

Shiloh Airport is eligible forgrants from NCDOT, but thecounty must match 10% of anygrant. Mike Apple requestedapproval of an amendment to thecapital project budget for twoNCDOT grants for the airport.One grant for $166,667 wouldcover airfield improvements,with $16,667 matching fundsfrom the county included in thebudget. The second grant is

$819,000 for land acquisition andobstruction removal, with$81,990 in matching funds fromthe county. They were askingfor a change to the budget tocover the amount not already inthe budget. Some of the appro-priation is included in the 2008-2009 budget and the balance willbe requested in the 2009-2010budget.Hunting Advisory CommitteeJanuary 21, 2010

Trespassing was the maintopic discussed. The types ofsigns available today are easilydestroyed so other methods ofposting property were discussed.Painting triangles on trees atintervals along property lines isone possibility. Other countiescan fine trespassers $250 whileRockingham County has a $50fine. Hunters can come toRockingham to bag a big buck orturkey cheaply even if they arecaught hunting illegally. Writtenpermission for hunting on a par-ticular property would berequired.

Another problem discussedwas trespassing on ATV’s with-out permission. Peter Bromleygave a very good report onVirginia’s policies on this sub-ject. He did a lot of research,which will be a good guide to usein writing new regulations.

This committee receivesinput from all its members,including wildlife officers andSheriff Sam Page. This meetingis just one of many meetings tobe held before suggesting regula-tions for hunting in this growingcounty.

Again, the committee chair-man, James Kallam, handled themeeting in a business-like man-ner and accorded respect to allwho were present.

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.

WENTWORTH - The much-anticipated Rockingham CountyAnimal Shelter is one large stepcloser to reality. After nearlytwo years of planning, theCounty has finalized designs forthe facility and placed an adver-tisement for bids. The bids willbe opened in a public meeting onFebruary 18, 2010 at 3:00 pm inthe Commissioners’ Board Roomat the Rockingham CountyGovernmental Center inWentworth.

Rockingham County beganthe animal shelter project inFebruary 2008 with the forma-tion of an Animal ShelterAdvisory Committee, comprisedof County Commissioners, ani-mal welfare activists, veterinari-ans and county employees. InOctober 2008, the advisory com-mittee launched the RockinghamCounty Animal ShelterCampaign, an initiative aimed atgenerating funds for the new10,000 square foot animal shel-ter. To date, the campaign hasraised over $135,000 in pledgedprivate funds. The County hasalso been pre-approved for a loanand grant from the USDA

Department of RuralDevelopment. The exactamount of both the loan and grantwill depend on the final construc-tion cost.

The project will be bid as acore facility with two alternates.Alternate one consists of anadoption wing and administrativeoffices and alternate two featuresa spay and neuter clinic. Thecommittee hopes to build allcomponents of the facility thisyear, as the adoption wing andspay and neuter clinic are essen-tial for reducing pet overpopula-tion and curbing the county’sstaggering 80% euthanasia rate.Given the current economic cli-mate; however, the facility mayhave to be built in phases. TheBoard of Commissioners willmake that decision in March.

Those interested in biddingon the project, may view theadvertisement at: www.co.rock-ingham.nc.us/pp/BidRFP.htm.In addition, a pre-bid conferencewill be held on February 4, 2010at 3:00 pm at the RockinghamCounty Governmental Center,Demonstration-Assembly Room,371 NC 65,Wentworth, NC

The CountyBoard of Commissioners is commit-ted to funding a very basic, barebones shelter. In order to thwart thecounty’s pet overpopulation epidemiclong-term, several features (particu-larly an adoption wing, bondingarea, and spay and neuter clinic),must be included in the design. Thecampaign’s goal has been to fundthese additional features privately.Through sources such as fundraisingevents, brick paver sales, corporatesponsorships, and grants, the cam-paign hopes to collect enough pri-vate donations to make the plannedfacility a reality.

The second public hearingdealt with the rezoning request of527 Summit Road, approximate-ly 7.05 acres, from Residential-20 to Industrial-1. Kelly Stultz,Director of Planning &Inspections Department - City ofEden reported “The most impor-tant issue to remember is what wehave on the ground, on this par-ticular spot, it’s not whether itcan be a trucking company or anyof those things.

Scales is the head of the police depart-ment’s D Squad and his job includes making surehis officers are enforcing laws and protecting thecitizens and visitors throughout the city of Eden.

Hesaid the best part of his career has been “helpingpeople and trying to make a difference in mycommunity.” Although he’s not a native of Eden, Scales is happy tolive here. “I like Eden because I know a lot of folks and it’s a goodplace for me and my wife to raise our children,” he said. He does seeroom for improvement in our city. In addition to more job opportuni-ties, Scales said he would “love to see Eden grow into a loving andcaring community where the word of Christ Jesus really means some-thing in everyone’s heart.”

HANESBRANDS FACILITY HAS BEEN SOLDL & M Associates purchased the former 900,000 square foot Hanesbrands facility in January of this year.

With over 40 buildings in its inventory, Roanoke, Va., based L & M plans to subdivide the building andmarket it immediately to potential users. The North Carolina Department of Commerce industrial activityover the last several months has shown that most new clients are seeking existing facilities to upfit for theirparticular needs. The former Hanesbrands facility provides ample space for a variety of users. The City ofEden and the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic and Tourism Development are aggressivelypursuing a large water user for the community, one that may be attracted to the former Hanesbrands facil-ity.

A consultant will be visiting Eden and the county to discuss what Eden needs to do to attract water users,such as food processors. The city is also working with the N.C. Department of Commerce to include foodprocessors in its target industry group. “A positive note is that there has been more industrial and com-mercial activity in the last 60 days than perhaps the previous 12 month period,” stated Mike Dougherty,director of Economic Development for the City of Eden. “While we are still in a global recession, there aresigns of new investment coming to our city.”

For more information, call Dougherty at 623-7789, ext. 3046.

COLE ANNOUNCES COUNTY CITIZENSHAVE CASH OR STOCKS OWED TO THEM

Rep. Nelson Cole would like you to watch in the next Eden’s Own Journal for a continued listing of RockinghamCounty citizens who have cash or stocks waiting for them with the state. There is approximately $380,000 in stocksand cash, which is owed to over 1400 people in Rockingham County alone. The state does not put forth an exten-sive effort to find these persons or businesses. Starting in the January 15th issue names will be listed so that you cansee if you or someone you know are on it. The names will be listed with the last known town they were located in.Contact the call center at (919) 508-1000 Unfortunately, there is not a toll free number available. In most cases, indi-viduals had moved, so there would need to be proof of the former address, as well as the social security number. Inthe case of a death , there would need to be a death certificate and a form from the clerk of court. For stocks, indi-viduals will be sent a form to complete. See more in our next issue...

"GOONY BIRD"After many years of marriage, a husband has turned into a couch

potato, became completely inattentive to his wife and sat guzzlingbeer and watching TV all day. The wife was dismayed because nomatter what she did to attract the husband's attention, he'd just shrugher off with some bored comment. This went on for many months andthe wife was going crazy with boredom. Then one day at a pet store,the wife saw this big, ugly, snorting bird with a hairy chest, powerfulhairy forearms, beady eyes and dribble running down the side of itsmouth. The shopkeeper, observing her fascination with the bird, toldher it was a special imported "Goony bird" and it had a very peculiartrait. To demonstrate, he exclaimed, "Goony bird! The table!"Immediately, the Goony bird flew off its perch and with single-mind-ed fury attacked the table and smashed it into a hundred little pieceswith its powerful forearms and claws! To demonstrate some more, theshopkeeper said, "Goony bird! The shelf!" Again the Goony birdturned to the shelf and demolished it in seconds. "Wow!" said the wife,"If this doesn't attract my husband's attention, nothing will!" So shebought the bird and took it home. When she entered the house, thehusband was, as usual, sprawled on the sofa guzzling beer and watch-ing the game. "Honey!" she exclaimed, "I've got a surprise for you! AGoony bird!" The husband, in his usual bored tone replied, "GoonyBird, my foot!"

SEEING EYE DOGA blind man with a seeing eye dog at his side walks into a gro-

cery store. The man walks to the middle of the store, picks up thedog by the tail, and starts swinging the dog around in circles over hishead. The store manager, who has seen all this, thinks this is quitestrange. So, he decides to find out what's going on. The store man-ager approaches the blind man swinging the dog and says, "Pardonme. May I help you with something." The blind man says, "Nothanks. I'm just looking around."

FEED THEMThere was once a man from

the city who was visiting a smallfarm, and during this visit he sawa farmer feeding pigs in a mostextraordinary manner. Thefarmer would lift a pig up to anearby apple tree, and the pigwould eat the apples off the treedirectly. The farmer would movethe pig from one apple to anotheruntil the pig was satisfied, thenhe start again with another pig.The city man watched this forsome time with great astonish-ment. Finally, he could not resistsaying to the farmer, "This is themost inefficient method of feed-ing pigs that I can imagine. Justthink of the time that would besaved if you simply shook theapples off the tree and let the pigseat them from the ground!" Thefarmer looked puzzled andreplied, "What's time to a pig?"

DOG FIGHTA man walks into a bar one day and asks, "Does anyone here own

that rottweiler outside?" "Yeah, I do!" a biker says, standing up. "Whatabout it?" "Well, I think my chihuahua just killed him..." "What areyou talking' about?!" the biker says, dis-believingly. "How could yourlittle runt kill my rotweiler?" "Well, it seems he got stuck in your dog'sthroat!"

COMPLAININGA customer was bothering the waiter in a restaurant. First, he

asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot,then he asked it be turned down cause he was too cold, and so on forabout half an hour. Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, hewalked back and forth and never once got angry. So finally, a secondcustomer asked him why he didn't throw out the pest. "Oh, I reallydon't care or mind," said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even havean air conditioner."

DRAG"Fred got home from his Sunday round of golf later than normal

and very tired. "Bad day at the course?" his wife asked. "Everythingwas going fine," he said. "Then Harry had a heart attack and died onthe 10th tee." "Oh, that's awful!" "You're not kidding. For the wholeback nine it was hit the ball, drag Harry, hit the ball, drag Harry."

LONELY CHILDSandy began a job as an ele-

mentary school counselor andwas eager to help. One day dur-ing recess she noticed a girlstanding by herself on one side ofa playing field while the rest ofthe kids enjoyed a game of soccerat the other. Sandy approachedand asked if she was all right.The girl said she was. A littlewhile later, however, Sandynoticed the girl was in the samespot, by herself. Approachingagain, Sandy offered, "Wouldyou like me to be your friend?"The girl hesitated, then said,"Okay," looking at the womansuspiciously. Feeling she wasmaking progress, Sandy thenasked, "Why are you standinghere all alone?" "Because," thelittle girl said with great exasper-ation, "I'm the goalie!"

GENDER ROLESBarbara Walters had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait sev-

eral years before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women cus-tomarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.

She returned to Kuwait after the war and observed that the mennow walked several yards behind their wives.

Ms Walters approached one of the women for an explanation.“This is marvelous,” she said. “What enabled women here to achievethis reversal of roles?” The Kuwaiti woman replied, “Land mines.”.

SUBJECT: BUY USAWant to buy US made products? BUY USA by watching for "0"

at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get! Thismay be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.

The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods".Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product isMADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but the government and related depart-ments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE our-selves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do notprefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from whichcountry it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first3 digits are:690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA .00 - 09 … USA & CANADA30 - 37 … FRANCE40 - 44 … GERMANY47 ... Taiwan49 … JAPAN50 … UK
