NOTES FROM FORREST BRAY...Rockingham County Commissioners’ Meeting

Rockingham County Commissioners’ MeetingGovernmental Center- Wentworth, N.C. - June 8, 2009 - 6:30 p.m.

Debra Allen, Nurse Practitioner with the County HealthDepartment, was recognized by the Commissioner as the 2009 TriadNurse of Distinction. The award was presented to Mrs. Allen byCommissioner Flynt.

During the Public Comment period, the meeting really got inter-esting. A group of taxpayers were there to talk about taxes, but theywere not allowed to discuss taxes since that was not on the agenda.Discussion of taxes is on the agenda for the June 22 meeting and theywill be allowed to present their opinions at that time. ThomasHarrington, Eden attorney, was allowed to address the Commissionerswhen he said he wanted to talk about something besides taxes. Hiscomments were primarily about the lack of response from theCommissioners about his concerns.I know about the lack of responsebecause it had happened to me. It seems when someone is running fora seat, they will talk with anyone and everyone. Yet once they are inoffice, they act as though they are told not to respond to citizens. It’snot hard to see why they can’t respond to every concern since they areon local committees, attend meetings in Guilford County and Raleigh,keep up with the Piedmont Triad Airport status, attend local events,and speak at local clubs. It almost seems like a public relation job, andthe management and staff actually run the County.

Glenn Martin, Health Director, asked for approval to move a wallin the Health Department to make space to store records which mustbe kept for a long time. This will allow additional storage space andextend the outer waiting room.

Jay Stevens asked that the Library be allowed to charge a $5.00fee for any out-of-county requests for genealogical research.

Under new business, Tom Wiggins discussed the need for amend-ing the Unified Development Ordinance to incorporate minimumstandards for paintball fields. A church in the county wants to operatea paintball field on church property as a fundraiser. The church’srequest was tabled until regulations could be worked out.

The Lake Jordan Rules were discussed to bring theCommissioners up to date. House Bill 239 (Jordan Lake Rules) passedand is now in committee. This bill concerns storm water run-off fromexisting subdivisions and could be very expensive.

Celebrate July 4 close tohome with the Dan River BasinAssociation! The Association'sIndependence Day float willcover six scenic miles of theMayo and Dan rivers inRockingham County, NC.

Meeting at 10:00 a.m. onSaturday, July 4, beside the NC135 Bridge over the Mayo River,participants will set the shuttleand float 1.5 miles of the Mayo toits confluence with the Dan. Afteranother 4.5 miles on the DanRiver, the take-out will be at themouth of Jacob's Creek.

Coordinators of the outingare T and Lindley Butler, amongthe founding members of theAssociation. "Since there is notyet a public access point on thelower Mayo," said T Butler, "wehave obtained permission to putin and take out on private property."

Celebrating the nation'sindependence on its 233rd birth-day, participants in the outing canenjoy two free-flowing rivers thathave nurtured inhabitants of thevalley for countless centuries.

Upon reaching the conflu-ence with the Dan River, partici-pants will encounter six historicstructures from the batteau navi-gation system.

Robertson's Fish Trap Sluiceincludes a widened fish weiroriginally built to collect fishmaking their great spawning runsupriver from the coast. SlinkShoal Sluice and Wing Dams,called the navigation system's"crown jewel," includes thelongest sluice, or channel, and theonly surviving log-crib wingdams on the river.

These and the other naviga-tion structures direct the waterinto channels around rapids andledges that would have blockedthe batteaux, each of which car-ried several tons of goods.

Participants in the outing areasked to meet at 10:00 a. m. at theWall Lumber Company parkinglot, 104 East Roosevelt Street, onthe west side of the NC 135Bridge in Mayodan, NC. Thebridge is about two miles west ofUS 220 Bypass.

Bring boat and paddles, lifejacket, lunch and water, and dressin layers of artificial (quick-dry-

ing) fabric. Although the trip isnot technically demanding orhazardous, boaters will be askedto sign an "Assignment of Risk /Waiver of Claim" form.

Boats may be rented fromThree Rivers Outfitters, 336-627-6215 or www.3-R-O.com, whichwill provide shuttle as well.

Asked about the possibilityof low water in case of drought,Butler replied, "We will meet atWall Lumber Company at 10:00as planned. If the Mayo is too

shallow to float, we'll put in at thenearby NC 704 Access Point inMadison. Our take-out will stillbe at Jacob's Creek."

All First Saturday Outingsof the Dan River BasinAssociation are free and open tothe public. For more informationabout the river trip, contact TButler, 336-349-5727 or [email protected]. Information about the Dan RiverBasin Association is available atwww.danriver.org .

Gov. Perdue Announces thatLaw Enforcement Cited 15,132Unbuckled People during ‘Clickit or Ticket’ Campaign

Gov. Bev Perdue todayannounced that more than 15,000drivers and passengers were citedfor not wearing their seat belt orhaving their child properly buck-led during the “Click It or Ticket”campaign, which began May 18and ended May 31.

"I thank law enforcementofficers across the state who par-ticipated in this life saving cam-paign," said Perdue. “I urgeNorth Carolinians who stillchoose to remain unbuckled tothink twice and remember that aseat belt or proper child safetyseat could save your life or thelife of a loved one.”

The final statewide total for

the campaign includes 13,654seat belt citations and 1,478 childpassenger safety citations. Stateand local law enforcement offi-cers issued the citations duringmore than 8,500 checkpoints andstepped-up patrols.

The N.C. Governor’sHighway Safety Program admin-isters “Click It or Ticket.” Theprogram began as a national pilotproject in 1993 to increase seatbelt usage and child passengersafety through stepped-upenforcement of the state’s seatbelt and child safety seat laws.

The National HighwayTransportation Safety Admin-istration reported that NorthCarolina’s 2008 seat belt usagerate was 89.8 percent, its highestrate ever. A NHTSA study pub-lished last year showed that whenworn correctly, seat belts haveproven to reduce the risk of afront seat passenger being killedin a crash by 45 percent.

In addition to cracking downon unrestrained drivers and pas-sengers, officers across the statecharged 2,220 motorists with dri-ving while impaired. Officersissued a total of 6,309 criminalviolations, including 1,597 drugcharges, 95 stolen vehicles and629 fugitives captured.

WATER SAFETY FOR LIFEContributed by the RockinghamCounty Sheriff’s Department

When the weather turnswarm, people often spend time inor around water. The beach,pools, farm ponds and rivers arepopular sites for beatingthe heat.

As the weather tem-perature increases andsummer vacations arrive,we see an increase in water recre-ation.

For people between the agesof 5 and 24, drowning is the sec-ond leading cause of accidentaldeath. It doesn’t have to be thatway, though.

Most water-related accidentscan be avoided by knowing howto stay safe and follow a fewguidelines.• BUDDY UP: Always swimwith a partner. Even experiencedswimmers can become tired orget muscle cramps.• GET SKILLED: Learn to swim,CPR, and boating regulations.• KNOW YOUR LIMITS: Whenyou get tired or uneasy, take abreak from swimming for awhile.• SWIM IN SAFE AREASONLY: Areas with lifeguards arepreferred.

Always have permission ofproperty owners, rather than tres-passing.

Often open bodies of waterhave currents or other conditionsof danger.• BE CAREFUL ABOUT DIV-ING: Diving injuries can causepermanent spinal cord damage,paralysis, and in some cases evendeath. Observe posted “NoDiving” areas.• WATCH THE SUN: Sun

reflecting off the water or offsand can intensify the burningrays. Apply/reapply sunscreenfrequently.• DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS:It’s easy to get dehydrated in the

sun. Keep up with fluids,especially water, no alcohol.• BOATING SAFETY:Alcohol and water still don’tmix. Alcohol

distorts a person’s judgment nomatter where they are, but it isincreased on the water.• PERSONAL FLOTATIONDEVICES: Use Coast Guardapproved flotation devices• STAY IN TOUCH: Let some-body on land know where youare going and how long you willbe out. Take a radio and or cellphone.• JET SKIS: Jet skis and personalwatercraft follow the same rulesas for boating.• ALCOHOL AND WATERNEVER MIX: half of water-related deaths are related to alco-hol. About 1/3 of deaths fromboating accidents involve alco-hol. Actually, and intoxicatedperson whose head is immersedcan be confused and swim downto death instead of up to safety.

In depth information isavailable online. This informa-tion was gathered from some ofthe following sites and providedto encourage awareness for theneed of summer water safety.- United States Power Squadrons:1-888-FOR-USPS www.usps.org- American Red Cross- U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 www.cgaux.org- Kids Health:www.kidshealth.org

FREE CARE PROGRAM

FOR ELDERLY SAFETYREIDSVILLE - The City ofReidsville’s new program whichchecks up on the elderly, home-bound and latchkey youththrough a daily telephone callappears to be one of the City’sbest-kept secrets.

A lot of applications for theprogram are going out of hisoffice, but many citizens don’trealize that this is a free serviceprovided to the public, explainsCapt. Ronnie Ellison, who over-sees the project.

A joint project of theReidsville Police and FireDepartments, the CallReassurance Program, alsoknown as “CARE,” is an auto-mated computer-generated ser-vice calls residents to ensure theyare okay. It can be set up to callon a daily basis, several times aday or at different times through-out the week.

Funded by the Annie PennCommunity Trust, the programcost less than $12,000 to insti-tute. Due to this generosity, citi-zens living inside the Reidsvillecity limits only have to apply forthe program at no cost to them.

The Pro Care system isdesigned to re-dial the samenumber several times looking fora response. If none is received, amessage can be sent to a listedfamily member. If no familymember can be located, a policeofficer or a firefighter will be dis-patched to check on the individ-ual. If a person does answer, thesystem will allow them to use atouch phone response acknowl-edging that they’re okay.

Those who have takenadvantage of the program arevery pleased with the results,according to Capt. Ellison. “Thisprogram has so many advantagesfor our citizens. First, it can givefamily members peace of mindthat their loved ones are beingchecked on regularly, especiallyfor those who can’t do it them-selves. Secondly, and mostimportantly, it can save lives,” hesaid.

Questionnaires are availableat the Police Department, 220 W.

Morehead Street, and online atwww.ci.reidsville.nc.us on thePolice Services page. The appli-cations must be completed andapproved before citizens canmake use of the system.

For more information, con-tact Captain Ronnie Ellison at the Reidsville Police Department,336-347-2312.

The victim was air lifted toBaptist Hospital in WinstonSalem. Nine other individualswere cited for second degreetrespassing.

Sheriff Sam Page: “As theweather temperature increasesand the school year ends, therewill be an increase in waterrecreation. I caution everyoneto practice water safety and rec-ognize the negative effects ofconsuming alcohol during thisrecreational time. This incidentis sad and I hope the public willlearn from mistakes of others. Ishould also encourage everyoneto only use the public accessareas provided when visitingour rivers”

MOREHEAD HS ARMY

JROTC MILITARY BALL

SY 2008-2009 EDEN - CD below is what Icame up with on the MilitaryBall. Can you forward it up forthe Eden Journal. Thanks.

On May 23, 2009 theMorehead High School ArmyJROTC Program held it's 4thAnnual Military Ball in theschool's cafeteria. The guestspeaker was Chief WarrantOfficer 3 David Dubay of Eden,NC. He spoke on the theme of themilitary ball, which was "MakingA Difference" and told the 200+present that they were alreadymaking a difference by beinginvolved in community serviceand service learning projects.Over the past year the "Panther

Pride" Battalion has beeninvolved with tutoring at CentralElementary School, mentoring atthe YMCA, collecting coats andcanned food for community orga-nizations, Color Guards for localevents and participation in localparades.

Awards and gifts were pre-sented to the 24 seniors whowould be graduation in less thattwo weeks. For the first time everin Morehead High School's histo-ry, three Army JROTC Cadetswill be attending the colleges oftheir choice at the expense of theU.S. Army. Chelsea Dix-MajorAnthropology, Appalachian StateUniversity, Tiffany Mundy-Major Nursing, East CarolinaUniversity and Chris Edwards-Major Engineering, NorthCarolina A & T. All three cadetshave signed letters of intent toattend their respected schools inthe Fall 2009 semesters.

Dubay challenged the cadetsto continue to strive and realizethe tough choices they make, domake a difference as they moveinto their adult lives. TheMilitary Ball closed with SheriffPaige presenting a video of sup-port for today's military by himmaking a jump with the GoldenKnights out of Ft. Bragg, NC.The American Legion Post #534Commander C.D. Grant closedthe ball with a challenge foreveryone to get involved withwhat our young people are doing.He officially said that theAmerican Legion Post #534would be working with theJROTC Program for years tocome and wanted to assist in anymeans necessary to help thecadets be successful.

Senior Army Instructor FirstSergeant (Retired) David Braysaid it's been a long, hard bumpyroad over the past four years toget the program where it is today,but this year will definitely behard to top with the many suc-cesses our cadets have achieved.


laid-off rural workers start theirown small businesses. It isavailable in RockinghamCounty and the citizens havebeen responding.

“We are getting a lot ofcalls,” said RockinghamCommunity College SmallBusiness Center Director,Cathy Wheeler. “Many indi-viduals who have never consid-ered owning their own businessare now looking at it as anoption.”

GATE is not a grant pro-gram. It is a scholarship pro-gram funded by the U.S.Department of Labor. Fromthose funds, up to 750 scholar-ships will likely to be awardedin North Carolina.

Wheeler estimates calls toher office have increased 25percent since the GATE pro-gram was announced. Many ofthe callers were unaware that aSmall Business Center existedin Rockingham County. Ofthose, some are pursuing aGATE scholarship, while othersare looking into existing pro-grams offered at RCC.

As it has since its incep-tion, the center is serving as aportal of entry into other programs oncampus for those individualswho decide not to pursue abusiness of their own,” saidWheeler. “This includes thoseseeking information aboutGATE.”

Eight NC community col-leges, including RCC, wereselected as primary GATE sites.GATE scholarship applicantsmust be dislocated workers –those who lost their job throughno fault of their own due to abusiness closing or layoff – andbe eligible for the WorkforceInvestment Act (WIA) pro-gram.

CONCERT IN THE PARKEDEN - Free concerts will beheld at Freedom Park the lastSaturday of each month thruOctober. Appearing June 27thfrom 6:30-8:30pm Cotton andthe Country Classic Band.Coming July 25th The CarolinaRoust-a-bouts.

RED ON FRIDAYS FOR

THE TROOPSAnonymous

As a Company, SouthwestAirlines is going to support 'RedFridays.'

Last week I was in Atlanta ,Georgia attending a conference.While I was in the airport, return-ing home, I heard several peoplebehind me beginning to clap andcheer. I immediately turnedaround and witnessed One of thegreatest acts of patriotism I haveever seen.

Moving thru the terminalwas a group of soldiers in theircamos. As they began heading totheir gate, everyone (well almosteveryone) was abruptly to theirfeet with their hands waving andcheering.

When I saw the soldiers,probably 30-40 of them, beingapplauded and Cheered for, it hitme. I'm not alone. I'm not theonly red-blooded American whostill loves this country and sup-ports our troops and their families.

Of course I immediatelystopped and began clapping forthese young unsung heroes whoare putting their lives on the lineever yday for us so we can go toschool, work and home withoutfear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I couldnot be more proud of my countryor of our Service men andwomen, a young girl, not morethan 6 or 7 years old ran up to oneof the male soldiers. He kneeleddown and said 'hi.'

The little girl then asked himif he would give something to herdaddy for her.

The young soldier, who did-n't look any older than maybe 22himself, said he would try andwhat did she want to give to herdaddy. Then suddenly the littlegirl grabbed the neck of this sol-dier, gave him the biggest hugshe could muster and then kissedhim on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl,who said her daughter's namewas Courtney, told the young sol-dier that her husband was aMarine and had been in Iraq for11 months now. As the mom wasexplaining how much her daugh-ter Courtney missed her father,the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily sin-gle mom was done explaining hersituation, all of the soldiers hud-dled together for a brief second.Then one of the other servicemenpulled out a military-lookingwalkie-talkie. They started play-ing with the device and talkingback and forth on it..

After about 10-15 secondsof this, the young soldier walkedback over to Courtney, bent downand said this to her, 'I spoke toyour daddy and he told me togive this to you.' He then huggedthis little girl that he had just metan d gave her a kiss on the cheek.He finished by saying 'yourdaddy told me to tell you that heloves you more than anything andhe is coming home very soon.'

The mom at this point wascrying almost uncontrollably andas the young soldier stood to hisfeet, he saluted Courtney and hermom. I was standing no morethan 6 feet away from this entireevent.

As the soldiers began toleave, heading towards their gate,

people resumed their applause.As I stood there applauding andlooked around, there were veryfew dry eyes, including my own.That young soldier in one last actof selflessness turned around andblew a kiss to Courtney with atear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember every-day all of our soldiers and theirfamilies and thank God for themand their sacrifices. At the end ofthe day, it's good to be anAmerican.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Verysoon, you will see a great manypeople wearing red every Friday.The reason? Am ericans whosupport our troops used to becalled the 'silent majority'. We areno longer silent, and are voicingour love for God, country andhome in record breaking numbers.

We are not organized, bois-terous or over-bearing... We getno liberal media coverage on TV,to reflect our message or ouropinions. Many Americans, likeyou, me and all our friends, sim-ply want to recognize that thevast majority of America sup-ports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidar-ity and support for our troopswith di gnity and respect startsthis Friday - and continues eachand every Friday until the troopsall come home, sending a deafen-ing message that.. Every red-blooded American who supportsour men and women afar willwear Something red.

By word of mouth, press,TV- let's make the United Stateson every Friday a sea of red muchlike a homecoming football gamein the bleachers.

If every one of us who lovesthis country will share this withacquaintances, co-workers,friends, and family. It will not belong before the USA is coveredin RED and it will let our troopsknow the once 'silent' majority ison their side more than ever; cer-tainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier sayswhen asked 'What can we do tomake things better for you?'is...We need your support andyour prayers. Let's get the wordout and lead with class and digni-ty, by example; and wear some-thing red every


have installed a panel for solar hot water.

Built by former RCC stu-dents, the house is a short walkfrom the college’s twoIndustrial Technologies build-ings. The interior is a shellwith exposed circuitry used fortraining purposes. The photo-voltaic panels and solar hotwater system, however, arecompletely new: the program’sfirst foray into solar energy.

Instructors Keith Elliottand Will Soyars have beenworking toward this momentfor several years by takingclasses on solar systems atNorth Carolina StateUniversity. Elliott then helpedput solar panels at a Park andRide station in Raleigh andSoyars installed panels on theNCSU campus.

“The process of wiringsolar is basically the same asnon-solar,” said Elliott. “Thedifference is in monitoring itsproductivity.”

Solar energy componentshave been added to four electri-cal/electronic classes – two inbasic wiring, one in DC/ACelectricity, and one in processcontrols with programmablelogic controllers (PLC’s). Thepanels installed this year will beused as teaching tools in futureclasses. Students will studytheir wiring, maintenanceneeds, and integration. Theywill learn how to monitor thesystems to determine their efficiency. And through asmall wind turbine recentlyinstalled adjacent to theIndustrial TechnologiesBuilding, students will receivean introduction to wind powersystems.

Two other campus pro-grams are also using or teachingfacets of solar energy. BradOverby, horticulture technologyinstructor, will be installing asolar heating system in a cam-pus greenhouse and KeithSigmon, instructor for air con-ditioning, heating, and refriger-ation technology, has integratedsolar hot water training into hisprogram.

Elliott and Soyars want tocontinue what they have begunby installing solar systems to allcampus buildings. To do so,they need grant funding.According to Elliott, an 80 gal-lon solar hot water system cost about $3,000. Photovoltaicpanels cost approximately $800each. Once installed, though,they are guaranteed to last for20-25 years, allowing studentsto get hands-on experience inthis new solar world.

Their mission is to help asmany homeless animals as possi-ble find loving homes. They arenot affiliated with the CountyAnimal Shelter in Reidsville,NC.

THEATRE HONORS MILL WORKERSWENTWORTH There are a lotof stories about Southern work-ers: tales of tobacco farming, fac-tory work, aiding the sick, serv-ing travelers and more. “PieceWork,” an adaptation of BarbaraPresnell’s poetry about work inthe South, tells these tales.Punctuated with folk and blues

music, the play emphasizes millwork while simultaneously delv-ing into Southern work, history,families, relationships, historyand values.

“It is a weaving together ofwords and voices,” said Presnell.“It has both the rhythm and thecacophony of the machinery ofthe mill, the individuality of the

people who work there. It is anamazing work.”

Characters in the play talk toone another and tell the audienceabout their lives, including facingunemployment, reeducation, andother life changes relevant totoday. Their lives shine throughtheir words – all of the courage,

despair, persistence, and defiancethey feel.

Presented by Touring Theatreof North Carolina, “Piece Work”will be held at 7 p.m. on June 25in the Apple Amphitheater atRockingham CommunityCollege. The hour performanceis free and open to the public. Incase of inclement weather, the

performance will be held in theAdvanced Technologies buildingauditorium.

QUILTING BEES GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITYJean Ann Wood

The love of quilting broughttogether a group of friends inSeptember 2008 and aquilting guild was born.The group calls them-selves the M&MQuilting Bees to honorthe Madison-MayodanRecreation Center that graciously hosts thegroup.

Meeting twice amonth, the guild gathersto share tips and tech-niques with each other.Often members demon-strate techniques such asappliqué, applying binding, mak-ing labels or hand quilting.Together they assist each otherwith personal quilting projectslike pinning quilts and trou-bleshooting sewing problems.

There is never a dull momentwhen the quilting bees are togeth-er as they offer support beyondquilting and remember needs andprayer requests from friends andfamily.

Early in 2009 the guild decid-ed to act on an idea that memberGlenn McKinnon brought to thegroup. McKinnon suggested thatthe guild reach the communitywith their talent by making a quilt

to benefit a local non-profit orga-nization.

The group buzzed with

excitement for this idea of shar-ing their love of quilting withothers.

Over the late winter months,each guild member made two tothree quilt squares to submit tothe project. The group met topiece together the squares using acanary yellow fabric to bridge theindividual color and patternselections of the differentsquares.

Once the top panel was com-plete, the project moved to local, professional quilter and friend,Faye Carter, who lovinglymachine stitched the project.

The finishing touches ofbinding and labeling completed

the quilt and the group was readyto present its work to the localorganization it had selected to

honor, Camp Carefree.Ann Jones, Executive

Director of Camp Carefree,accepted the quilt at the Junemeeting of the M&M QuiltingBees. Jones intends to raffle the quilt to raise funds for the camplocated in SW Rockingham

County. Camp Carefree is dedi-cated to providing real campingexperiences for children with

specific health problemsand disabilities and relieson community support forfunding.

The guild plans to makeanother group quilt in thefall.

The M&M QuiltingBees take summers off, butwill gather again onSeptember 21 to resumeguild meetings. They wel-come quilters of any age or

skill level to join them on the firstand third Mondays at 9:30 am atthe M&M Recreation Center inwestern Rockingham County.For additional information on theguild, contact Glenda Foulks at 336-427-0673.

WGSR GOES DIGITALAt 11:00am on June 12th,

WGSR (better known as StarNews) in Reidsville, operating inthe northern Piedmont and south-side Virginia areas since 1987,joined other television stationsacross the country in making theswitch from analog broadcastingto digital broadcasting.

The station, with studioslocated in downtown Reidsville,switched from analog channel 39to digital channel 47.1. Theswitch took place at the station’snew transmitter and antenna siteon Friendship Church Road southof the city.

Azile Roark, the president ofthe Star News Corporation andthe owner of WGSR 47.1 said,

“We are truly excited that our sta-tion is making the transition fromanalog to digital broadcasting,but we’re more excited that ourstation will find a new audiencewith our expanded signal cover-age. Star News will be the Triadarea’s newest television station.Let me assure you that we willnot abandon the viewers whohave been faithful to us over theyears. Instead, we hope they willshare our excitement as we willtake our interesting brand of pro-gramming into new territory, and

show what makes the Star Newsregion so unique.”

Roark adds, “No otherbroadcast stations in this areahave as much viewer input as ourstation allows. Whether its liveviewer calls on the air about thenews of the day or our extendedcoverage of local area events,Star News is the station thatallows our viewers to becomeinvolved in what’s happening.”

Star News carries program-ming 24 hours a day. In additionto local area news, includingbreaking news, Star News carriesits own locally produced pro-grams. The station is one of fewthat allows call-in segments,where viewers can comment on

news and topics of the day. Otherlocally produced shows includeMonday Night Live (acomedy/variety/quiz show), TheBuzz (local area topics and gos-sip), Medicine On Time (call-inshow with local pharmacists),Star Date (talk show on localevents), DCC Today (currentevents at Danville CommunityCollege), Ask The Sheriff (call-inshow with Rockingham CountySheriff, Sam Page), and TalkBack (local area interest show).The station also broadcasts localantique car cruise-in events,Christmas parades (over ten dif-ferent regional communities),festivals and more.

The company has plans toexpand its local coverage in thenew viewing area includingGuilford, Alamance and Forsythcounties. Star News has studiosin Reidsville, Martinsville andDanville. Future plans includestudios in the Greensboro area.


allowed each organization toreceive a grant and allow theTDA to stay within budget.

“Times are tough foreverybody right now and wewanted to be able to assist eachorganization rather than declinesome requests all together,”said Robin Yount, vice presi-dent of Tourism. “We had tostay within budget so we decid-ed to fund a certain percentageacross the board to be fair. Wefelt it was important for theseorganizations to receive a por-tion of their grant requestsbecause many have lost fundingfrom other sources this year.”

The only stipulation thatcomes with the grants is that themoney must be used to marketlocal events outside the countyin order to attract out-of-townvisitors.

The 2009-2010 Marketingand Promotional Grants areawarded to: • City of Eden Dixie YouthBaseball Tournament atFreedom Park • City of Eden’s 8th AnnualPiedmont Pottery Festival • Eden YMCA SwimmingMeets • Eden YMCA TennisTournaments • City of Reidsville for LakeReidsville • Madison-Mayodan RecreationCommission for the Dan RiverBoat Race • Morehead High SchoolWrestling Boosters for fourtournaments • Olde Leaksville ShoppingDistrict for 2009 Eden Riverfest • Piedmont Folk Legacies for15th Charlie Poole MusicFestival • City of Reidsville for DixieYouth Baseball Tournament • Reidsville DowntownCorporation for ReidsvilleDowntown Fall Festival • Reidsville DowntownCorporation for Tour ofReidsville Bike Race • Stars and Promises Concert • City of Reidsville for ThePenn House

Jesus Saves

Farmers market stalls teem-ing with locally grown fruits andvegetables are attracting morecustomers in search of nutritious,high quality fruit. Many shoppersat farmers markets are lookingfor ways to prepare and preservewhat they buy at market and anew resource from the N.C. StateUniversity Program for Value-Added & Alternative Agricultureat the new N.C. ResearchCampus in Kannapolis offershelp.

"The Produce Lady" videoseries tells farmers and con-sumers the wonders of locallygrown fruits and vegetables - thenutrition they provide, the deli-cious meals or snacks familiescan enjoy with each vegetable orfruit and how to prepare them astasty meals and snacks or freezethem to use throughout the year.

The Produce Lady is themoniker for Brenda BryanSutton, the new director forCooperative Extension inRockingham County. She servedas Extension family and con-sumer sciences agent untilrecently. Sutton grew up on afamily farm in Wake County andknows all about gardening andfood preparation, storage andpreservation. As a family andconsumer sciences agent shetaught these skills to others. Sheworks closely with her localfarmers markets and she current-ly raises Shiitake mushrooms andblueberries to sell at market,which gives her first-hand expe-rience in what farmers marketvendors experience.

"Local farmers and theircontributions to our communitiesare so important," Sutton said."I'm delighted to have a chance tohelp provide helpful tips so peo-ple can enjoy the wonderful localfoods we're so fortunate to havein North Carolina."

Sutton teamed up with LeahChester-Davis, coordinator ofcommunications and communityoutreach for the N.C. StateUniversity Program for Value-Added & Alternative Agriculture,who produces the videos. Thetwo work with N.C. State video-grapher Ken Ellzey. Chester-Davis visited numerous farmersmarkets last year. More thanonce, when she asked a farmer

for a good way to prepare his orher produce, the farmer respond-ed, "I don't know, I just grow it."

"Many farmers have won-derful suggestions for how toprepare their products, but I real-ized that many of them could usehelp in providing information totheir customers to keep their cus-tomers coming back," Chester-Davis said. "We're working tomake this a helpful resource toboth farmers and consumers."

Funded with a grant fromthe N.C. Tobacco Trust FundCommission, The Produce Ladyvideo series features Sutton, whofocuses on a different vegetableor fruit in each video. Suttonexplains the nutritional value,when to expect the item at thefarmers market, what to look forand how to prepare, store andpreserve the item. She alwaysreminds viewers to wash theirhands before handling produceand when and how to clean fruitsand vegetables. She incorporatesfresh produce safety guidelines inall the videos.

The Produce Lady videoscan be viewed at (dot)thepro-ducelady.org. Currently, the sitecontains videos on blueberries,cabbage, cantaloupe, corn, egg-plant, green beans, greens, okra,peppers, Southern peas, squashand strawberries. More videosare in development and will fea-ture North Carolina goat cheese,grass-fed beef and seafood, allitems that pair well with produce.The Web site also has helpful,healthy recipes for preparing

fruits and vegetables. The siteprovides news columns thatCooperative Extension agentsmay localize and provide to theirlocal papers.

This spring, The ProduceLady debuted on AlmanacGardener on UNC-TV across thestate. She also found her place inthe blogosphere. Twice eachmonth at theproducelady.word-press.com, Sutton offers timely,no-nonsense tips you can use inthe kitchen. Her videos are alsobeing posted to YouTube to reacha wider audience. Find them at(dot)youtube(dot)com/thepro-ducelady.

"The campaign has reallytaken off," said Chester-Davis."Brenda has been invited toappear at several markets andother events across the state. "

WENTWORTH - – TheRockingham County Departmentof Public Health received notifi-cation on Tuesday evening, June2nd, that a county resident testedpositive for Novel H1N1 flu.The patient has begun antiviraldrug treatment and in-house iso-lation until at least 24 hours afterthe resolution of symptoms.According to RockinghamCounty Health Director GlennMartin, “We have known that theNovel H1N1 flu has been presentin our State since early May.”There have been several con-firmed cases of H1N1 flu hadbeen reported in North Carolina.The counties reporting casesincluded Alamance, Brunswick,Buncombe, Carteret, Craven,Durham, Guilford, Mecklenburg,New Hanover, Onslow, Orange,Rutherford, and Wake.

The symptoms of the H1N1flu virus in people are similar tothe symptoms of seasonal flu andinclude fever, cough, sore throat,runny or stuffy nose, body aches,headache, chills, and fatigue. Asignificant number of people whohave been infected with the virusalso have reported diarrhea andvomiting.

It is thought that the NovelH1N1 flu spreads the same waythat regular seasonal flu virusesspread, mainly through thecoughs and sneezes of peoplewho are sick with the virus.

Sometimes people may becomeinfected by touching somethingwith flu viruses on it and thentouching their mouth or nose.While there is no vaccine cur-rently available to protectagainst the H1N1 virus; properhand, respiratory, and coughhygiene can help prevent thespread of germs that cause respi-ratory illnesses like flu. Peopleshould feel reassured that if theyfollow certain basic steps theycan greatly diminish the risk ofcontracting respiratory illness.These basic steps include:• Avoid close contact with peoplewho are sick. When you are sick,keep your distance from othersto protect them from getting sicktoo.• If possible, stay home fromwork, school, and errands whenyou are sick. You will help pre-vent others from catching yourillness.• Cover your mouth and nosewith a tissue when coughing orsneezing. It may prevent thosearound you from getting sick.• Washing your hands often willhelp protect you from germs.• Avoid touching your eyes, nose,or mouth. Germs are oftenspread when a person touchessomething that is contaminatedwith germs and then touches hisor her eyes, nose, or mouth.• Practice other good healthhabits. Get plenty of sleep, be

physically active, manage yourstress, drink plenty of fluids, andeat nutritious food.• Communicable Disease Nurse,Billie Whitener, R.N., stressesthe importance of persons withflu-like symptoms to stay homeand avoid contact with otherpeople when sick. “Staying athome means that you should notleave your home except to seekmedical care,” according toWhitener. This means avoidingnormal activities including work,school, travel, shopping, socialevents, and public gatherings. Itis recommended that if you havesevere illness or you are at highrisk for flu complications, thatyou contact your health careprovider or seek medical care.Your health care provider candetermine whether flu testing ortreatment is needed.

As of June 12, nationwide,over of 10,100 confirmed casesof Novel H1N1 flu have beenreported to the Centers forDisease Control and Preventionthrough the week ending May23, 2009.

AND THATS HOW THE

FIGHT STARTEDI asked my wife, 'Where do

you want to go for our anniver-sary?' It warmed my heart to seeher face melt in sweet apprecia-tion. 'Somewhere I haven't beenin a long time!' she said.

So I suggested, 'How aboutthe kitchen?' And that's how thefight started....

THE PERFECT DRESSJane's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement -- not even her parents'nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!A week later, Jane was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the same exact dressas her mother! Jane asked her step-mother to exchange the dress, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I looklike a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it!"Jane went back and told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind, sweetheart. I'll get another dress towear to your wedding. After all, it's your special day."A few days later, Jane and her Mom went shopping a nd found another gorgeous dress. When they stoppedfor lunch, Jane asked her Mom, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have anotheroccasion where you can wear it." Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, sweetheart. I'm goingto wear it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding."NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOYTHIS STORY? SEND IT TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW!!

In The 1500's The next time you are washing your hands and complain because thewater temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how thingsused to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:These are interesting...Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bathin May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they werestarting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide thebody odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when get-ting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of thehouse had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sonsand men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all thebabies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose some-one in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bathwater.

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no woodunderneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all thecats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When itrained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip andfall off the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs. Therewas nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed areal problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings couldmess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheethung over thetop afforded some protection. That's how canopy bedscame into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other thandirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor.. The wealthy had slate floors thatwould get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. Asthe winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you openedthe door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood wasplaced in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold. (Gettingquite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle thatalways hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added thingsto the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to getcold ov ernight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew hadfood in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme,Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot ninedays old...

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quitespecial. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon toshow off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could bring home thebacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would allsit around and chew the fat..

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with highacid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causinglead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, sofor the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burntbottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top,or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combinationwould sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days.Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and pre-pare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a cou-ple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink andwait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding awake..

England is old and small and the local folks started running outof places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would takethe bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening thesecoffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on theinside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So theywould tie a string on the wristof the corpse, lead it through the coffinand up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would haveto sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen forthe bell; thus, someone could be,saved by the bell, or was considereda dead ringer.

And that's the truth....Now, whoever said History was boring ! !

MISSISSIPPIThe young man from

Mississippi came running intothe store and said to his buddy,'Bubba, somebody just stole yourpickup truck from the parkinglot!'

Bubba replied, 'Did you seewho it was?'

The young man answered, 'Icouldn't tell, but I got his licensenumber.'

PLAYINGCHURCHJohnny's Mother looked out thewindow and noticed Him "play-ing church" with their cat.

He had the cat sitting quiet-ly and he was preaching to it.

She smiled and went abouther work. A while later she heardloud meowing and hissing andran back to the open window tosee Johnny baptizing the cat in atub of water.

She called out, "Johnny, stopthat! the cat is afraid of water!"

Johnny looked up at her andsaid, "He should have thoughtabout that before he joined mychurch."

A woman had just returnedto her home from an evening ofchurch services, when she wasstartled by an intruder. Shecaught the man robbing her homeof its valuables and yelled: 'Stop!Acts 2:38!' (Repent and beBaptized, in the name of JesusChrist , so that your sins may beforgiven.)

The burglar stopped in histracks. The woman calmly calledthe police and explained whatshe had done.

As the officer cuffed theman to take him in,he asked the burglar: 'Why didyou just stand there? All the oldlady did was yell a scripture toyou.'

'Scripture?' replied the bur-glar. 'She said she had an Ax andTwo 38s!'

Knowing scripture can saveyour life - in more ways thanone!

WANNA GO TO HEAVEN?Father Murphy walks into a

pub in Donegal, and asks the firstman he meets, 'Do you want togo to heaven?' The man said, 'Ido, Father.' The priest said, 'Thenstand over there against the wall.'Then the priest asked the secondman, 'Do you want to go to heav-en?' 'Certainly, Father,' the manreplied. 'Then stand over thereagainst the wall,' said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walkedup to O'Toole and asked, 'Do youwant to go to heaven?' O'Toolesaid, 'No, I don't Father.' Thepriest said, 'I don't believe this.You mean to tell me that whenyou die you don't want to go toheaven?' O'Toole said, 'Oh, whenI die , yes. I thought you weregetting a group together to goright now.'


YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SOUTHTENNESSEE

The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretaryfor some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said , 'You graduated from the University ofTennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you takeoff?'The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.'NORTH CAROLINA

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bou-quet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.

Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curioushe turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, 'I have a flat tire.'The passerby asked, 'But what's with the flowers?'The man responded, 'When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the

back. Hey, it don't make no sense to me neither.'TEXAS

The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriffasked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head". "Yep",he replied. "That's why I dumpin it here, cause it says 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'. GEORGIA

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one ofthe hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. 'Where's Henry?' the others asked.

'Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,' the successful hunterreplied.

'You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?' they inquired.'A tough call,' nodded the hunter. 'But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!'

STUDENT PROVES HE’S OUTSTANDINGRCC - Overcoming loss is a pri-vate process, not something forprint. But it is embedded herebecause it is part of the remark-able story of RockinghamCommunity College’s 2009Outstanding Student, ToddStegall. In July, Stegall willgraduate with an associate degreein general occupational technolo-gy. In 2006 he graduated with adiploma in heating, air condition-ing and refrigeration, residential(HVAC/R). Throughout his fouryears at RCC, Stegall maintaineda 4.0 grade point average, thehighest possible. He achieved itall despite the fact that his wife,Erica, to whom he was devoted,died unexpectedly in 2005.

In a way, college saved Stegall.It gave him something to focuson besides his overwhelmingloss. But it did more. It gave hima new life. “I was a machineoperator in a textile plant, makingdecent wages, doing all right,”said Stegall. “Even though myfamily tried to get me to go tocollege, I thought, ‘I’m doingokay, there’s no need.’”

But the textile industrytanked and Stegall needed a wayto earn a living. “I don’t know

why I decided to try heating andair,” he said. “I didn’t know any-thing about it. I thought I’d giveit a year and if I didn’t like it, I’ddo something else.”

He was scared, of course. Ithad been a while since highschool but he fell into a routine:full-time work during the day,

classes atnight, sleep alittle andstudy everyfree minute.Through itall, he madea discovery.“I’m good atH V A Cwork. I’m

better at it than at what I used todo. Losing my job was rough,but looking back, I’m glad it hap-pened. I’m happier.”

Stegall credits his instructorsand his family – especially hismother and daughter – for hisacademic success. After graduat-ing with the diploma in 2006, hewas hired as a repair technicianby Preventive MaintenanceServices of America. Within ayear, he was a lead technician.

“My education really paid

off. It changed me. It changedmy whole life. It not only openeddoors, it taught me I can opendoors myself.”

While at RCC, Stegall wasinducted into the internationalsociety Phi Theta Kappa, helpedinstall HVAC systems for Habitatfor Humanity houses, taughtHVAC Sheet Metal Layout andDesign, and was a two-timerecipient of the Miller Train andGain Scholarship.

Keith Sigmon, HVAC/Rinstructor, said, “He is an exem-plary student who has provenhimself to be a leader. He leavesRCC with the skills and confi-dence to be successful for a life-time.”

Stegall is humbled by hisaward. “Without the faculty andstaff at RCC, this wouldn’t havebeen possible. It’s an honor to berecognized for the effort I putinto my education. If you striveand work hard, you can accom-plish so much. I’m proud; myfamily is ecstatic. I just wishErica could be here. She wouldhave been so happy.”

It’s hard to believe that it hasbeen a year since Krysti has beengone. I miss her so much. I findgrace and comfort, in the midst ofthe deepest pain we can experi-ence on earth, in knowing thatshe is in the presence of JesusChrist, our Lord. Although, myconfidence is resolute in that fact,not a day goes by that I don’tthink about Krysti countlesstimes. I would love to hear herfunny laugh and see that beauti-ful smile. I do rejoice in knowingthat one day I will seeand hold her again, butfor now, it is just hard.

I am writing thisarticle in memory ofmy “Princess” and toencourage so many ofmy friends who havelost loved ones overthis past year, somejust within recentweeks. I want to encourage all ofyou to seek Grief Counseling.The process of grieving, as I havecome to discover, is filled with avariety of emotions. You need toprepare yourself. You need tounderstand what to expect andhow to handle those emotionswhen they come. I highly recom-mend Grief Share classes. Youcan attend sessions for free, heldeach Monday night, at GrowingOaks Community Church. Weare also going to host a 13 weeksession at Osborne BaptistChurch, beginning Thursday,July 9th. This program takes youthrough the journey of grief,dealing with all types of losses.Although the relationships of theloss may vary, the pain and voidof not seeing and talking to thatperson that you love so deeply isvery much a cold reality. There isan accompanying book,“Through a Season of Grief” thatis a devotional type book thataddresses the wide range of emo-tions you will feel as time passeson. It has proven to be a wonder-ful resource for my wife and me.

So, please be encouragedthat the God who created us lovesus and desires to comfort us,through His Spirit. When we arestunned by the sudden loss ofsomeone we love, like my 18year old daughter, Krysti, wemay wonder where God was orwhy this happened. The answer isHe was right there with them.Please remember, we live in abroken world and all of our daysare numbered before we breatheour first breath. That is all themore reason, as severalScriptures teach, to love eachother and to make the most ofeach day, because we never knowwhat tomorrow may bring. In thescope of eternity, this temporaryjourney should be put into per-spective. Please make yourinvestment in eternity and don’tsweat the small stuff of this life.My daughter Krysti taught me so

much about these truths, becausethat was her philosophy of life.She lived each day with passionand fun, but was extremelyresponsible. In her 18 short yearson this earth, she accomplishedmuch and she touched manylives, especially mine. I love herand miss her and sometimes thetears still flow for hours, but thenI get a sweet reminder that she is“absent from the body and pre-sent with the Lord!” She willnever suffer again and for that I

give glory and praise toour Savior, Jesus Christ,as it was His death, bur-ial, and resurrection thatmade it possible for herto be raised and now inHis presence. I will seeher again.

For all of you,who have lost someonedear to you, please con-

sider Grief Counseling. Hospiceis another great resource or a pas-tor. Please talk to someone andplease do no suppress these emo-tions, as they can quickly over-whelm you.

I want especially say to thefamily and friends of Kimberly“Kimmy” Norris that my heartgoes out to you and I constantlypray for you. I can relate com-pletely to your loss, as well as theparents of young Nicholas“Nick” Adkins, from Stoneville.Losing anyone is painful, but los-ing a child is almost unbearable.Therefore, I have learned to reachout to the greatest resource Iknow, which is my God, who canrelate to us because He experi-enced the death of His only Son.He actually gave His Son to payyour sin debt and mine. Now,through Jesus’ death and resur-rection, we can have direct accessto God in prayer “to find graceand mercy to help us in our timeof need.” (Heb. 4:15, 16).

For the students and staff atMorehead High School, whohave experienced so many deathsof classmates over the past sever-al years, and for Nick’s friendsboth at Morehead andMcMichael, please know I ampraying for you as well. Life isshort. Please live it with passionand fun, balanced with responsi-bility. “Commit your plans andactions you are developing toGod.” (Proverbs 16:3). Please letHim guide your path. To thiscommunity and to my wonderfulchurch, (Osborne BaptistChurch), I do want to say, “ThankYou” from the depth of my heartfor all your love, support, andprayers you have given our fami-ly over this past year. It has beensuch a hard experience, yet wehave also experienced wondrousgrace through the journey, andthat can only come from a loving,personal God. I love youKrysti!!!! May God bless you all!

RCC - RockinghamCommunity College studentsAdam Cardwell of Walnut Coveand Joseph Somers of Ruffinwere selected as recipients of thecollege’s 2009 MeritoriousService awards.

In announcing the recipi-ents, RCC President, Dr. RobertKeys, said, “These awards recog-nize those who have made signif-icant contributions to the life andwell-being of the college com-munity.”

As president of the StudentGovernment Association on cam-pus, Cardwell went “above andbeyond.” Among the many activ-ities he promoted and worked in,Cardwell increased the level ofparticipation in the SGA, imple-mented the first formal inductionceremony for officers, started anSGA page on the RCC web site,participated in leadership train-ing, and volunteered time forRCC Foundation events, home-coming activities and campussporting events.

“Under Cardwell’s leader-ship,” said Keys, “the RCC SGAhas extended its presence withinthe state community college sys-tem SGA, having won awards inseveral categories at the recentspring state SGA conference.”

Cardwell chose RCC over atrack scholarship to attend a four-year university. That choice led

to his role as SGA president,which gave him the opportunityto serve as student trustee on theRCC Board of Trustees.

“My involvement at RCChas helped develop leadershipskills,” said Cardwell. “I’m moreoutgoing and have more confi-dence in myself. My family isproud.”

A paint contractor who hadnot been in school since 1985, hedecided to take the placement testjust to see how he would do. Hedid all right and decided to take acourse. He made a “C.” His sis-ter encouraged him to take twomore courses and learn what ittakes to study and make bettergrades. He did. As a result, hebecame a full time student who ison the college’s dean’s list foracademics.

Because of his grades,Somers was inducted into SigmaKappa Delta, an English honorsociety, in which he served aspresident, and then into Phi ThetaKappa, an international honorsociety, in which he served asvice president of leadership. Inaddition, he worked in the col-lege AT3 lab as a tutor.

“Those who know Josephunderstand he is a ‘go-getter,’ notcomfortable simply to sit and donothing,” said Keys.

Somers said he was shockedto get the award.

Both Cardwell and Somersare college transfer students.Cardwell plans to major in busi-ness administration atAppalachian State University andSomers will pursue a degree inpsychology at UNCG.
