THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Archdale-Trinity News 3
From ‘slimy’ to successfulSaturday Sept. 25, members of
the Archdale and Shamrock bass clubs partnered with other fishermen and clubs in the area to participate in the Third Annual Benjamin Moye Classic.
This tournament is promoted by friends of Green Street Baptist Church in High Point and their gener-ous sponsors to provide a day of wit-ness, food, fishing and fun on High Rock Lake for youngsters from the Baptist Children’s Home in Thom-asville — many of whom had never been fishing at all.
Tamarac Marina hosted the event. Contestants and boat captains of the 40 teams received a bright florescent yellow shirt designating them as par-ticipants. They fished for multiple species in total number of fish, total weight and biggest fish categories.
All contestants received a medal to commemorate their competition in addition to the top category prizes of gift cards from local businesses for the kids to use as they wish. But all of the prizes paled in the glow of warm hearts and huge smiles of everyone there.
Top weight went to a team with over 50 pounds of catfish, including the largest fish of the tournament at over 11 pounds. The string of fish was longer than the young person in the boat was tall.
I was matched with a young lady named Tenosha and her adult coun-selor, Mike Roberson. Mike was pretty handy with a rod and reel, as he demonstrated later, but Tenosha had never been fishing.
She was pretty clear from the be-ginning she had little interest in it at all. Slimy worms and bug-eyed fish seemed a bit more than she wanted to handle.
The morning started slow but, within an hour, she was lifting fish
over the gunwale like a pro. With each new species of fish she caught, includ-ing her first largemouth bass, her inter-est grew a little more. By the end of the day, she had learned not only how long the bait should sit unnoticed by a fish but exactly at which pier and which pole on a pier the concentrations of fish should be located.
The investment in a little interest netted her third place in the contest for total fish caught and she actually caught all but five of the fish boated.
I’ve been blessed with the oppor-tunity to work with young people in many positive ways, but this was one of the more rewarding of my lifetime. These children live their lives almost entirely on the generosity of others and little more than hope. For one day, it was about them and their enjoyment. There was no question they enjoyed it. They were doing something where rewards are immediate and the result, although a little slimy, were tangible.
What I saw at the individual level was a young person who got in my
boat without any interest or enthusi-asm leave with a sense of great accom-plishment and happiness, along with a winner’s award and a new ability to see what she could achieve.
We hope you’ll take some time to relish your families and friendships, but also to reach out into your neigh-borhoods and communities for oppor-tunities like this to make a difference. That is the special part of who we are and what makes this community one of the best in North Carolina.
And, as always, we hope to see you on the water.

Meet Toni Ruth, pastor at Hopewell United Methodist Church in Trinity, and Ivey, a nine year-old student with whom Toni Ruth is matched through Communities In Schools of Randolph County. Together since Ivey was in kindergarten, this will be their fi fth year together, and they love spending time together! Once a week, they meet in the library at Ivey’s school, where they read, do math, and play games. Toni Ruth says about half the time is spent on academics, and about half on fun activities. And largely as a result of Toni Ruth’s time and encouragement, Ivey has come to really enjoy reading
--- especially biographies. (She says her favorite this summer was one about Amelia Earhart.) Toni Ruth
says she decided to become a CIS volunteer because she saw it as “an easy way to make a big impact on my community. Anybody can do this, and I truly see the potential one person can have on another person’s life. I think everybody should do it!” We do, too. After all, that is what United Way is all about: Reach out a hand to one, and infl uence the condition of all. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED!

ROTC earns 15-year Adopt-A-Highway star
Alas, the tomato season is over
What do we want for our children?Earlier this year, a number of volun-
teers from Randolph County, along with delegates from every county in the state, participated in local forums and regional summits as part of ‘Smart Investing: Communities Thrive When Children Thrive.’
The goal of this initiative, funded by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, was to bring together individuals from across the state to answer the question, “What do North Carolinians want for their chil-dren?”
After more than 8,000 combined hours of time spent reviewing data and discussing their answers, three top priorities emerged. Participants concluded all children need to have the following:
• Food, shelter and health.• Access to high quality early care and
education.• Involved and engaged parents and
families who are supported through train-ing and educational opportunities.
To ensure that these priorities are ad-dressed in our community, we as parents,
business executives and community lead-ers must be involved. Because today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, parents, workers and everyone has a stake to make sure all children have the experiences they need to succeed.
A great fi rst step to get involved is to familiarize yourself with the high quality services in our communities and their ben-efi ts to young children and their families. Maybe your child or grandchild has ben-efi tted from a service or early childhood program.
Share your experiences with other par-ents, business executives and community and elected offi cials. It is essential that all of these individuals are informed of the benefi ts of high quality services in order for these programs to continue.
If you have an experience you would like to share, please e-mail your story to [email protected].
By investing in our young children now, we can help to ensure that they become suc-cessful, productive adults that will greatly benefi t society in the future.

can be found at www.smartstart.org/smartinvesting.

AFJROTC Cadets at Trinity High School and now Wheatmore have partici-pated in Adopt-A-Highway, a volunteer program to keep roads and high-
ways clean, for 15 years to earn special recognition from the N.C. Department of Transportation.
Krista Keith
Public Affairs Officer
ROTC
Cadet Col. Garrett Smith (cadet commander) posts the 15-year star.
In the Adopt-A-Highway program, volun-teers are assigned a specifi c stretch of road or highway. At least four times a year, cadets muster early on Saturdays to remove the un-sightly litter.
The cadets began this service in March 1995 with 17 participants cleaning roadways near Trinity High School and portions of Sur-rett Drive.
After a safety briefi ng, cadets “attack” the area. Cadets are rewarded after each session with brownies and soft drinks provided by Lt. Col. Ray Carter’s wife, Brenda. Cadets also earn service ribbons from Senior Master Sgt. Jim Hedgecock.
The unit recently received a letter from the N.C. Department of Transportation, which congratulated AFJROTC for its 15 years of service.
The unit also received a 15-year star to place on their Adopt-A-Highway signs. Dur-ing this labor of love, more than 1,337 cadets have met 51 times to complete 2,672 commu-nity service hours.
Together, cadets have collected more than 1,541 bags of trash.
Cadets are always awed by what they dis-cover along the roadways. Lt. Col. Carter and
Senior Master Sgt. Hedgecock estimate that during these “adventures” more than 400 discarded automobile tires have been collected, in addition to refrigerators and other home appliances.
The signifi cant achievements keep the cadets smiling because they are making a huge difference in their environment and community.
Senior Master Sgt. Hedgecock hopes that such success will show how dedicat-ed teenagers can be with the right infl u-ence and direction in their lives.
Except for a rip-roaring case of poi-son ivy, I really enjoyed the sum-
mer. My favorite thing about summertime is
when I get to enjoy a good ol’ home-grown tomato sandwich. Here is the epic story of my quest to produce that perfect home-grown tomato in my own backyard.
My husband Eddie and I have grown vegetable gardens in a residential setting before. Our Robin’s Nest home featured a backyard with plenty of sun exposure. It wasn’t too diffi cult for two novices such as ourselves to produce enough tomatoes, squash and zucchini to eat, can and freeze.
Three years ago we relocated to the Westwood subdivision. While our front yard gets plenty of sunshine, you could go on a safari in the backyard. As soon as we arrived, we were challenged to come up with a spot that would produce anything other than weeds.
Last year’s garden attempt produced lush, tall tomato plants that produced about two dozen good-sized tomatoes — which matured in October.
I come from a family of gardeners, all of whom have a natural green thumb, but I suspect that somehow I didn’t end up with that gene. To some, this skill comes natu-rally, but others must work harder.
Ed and I thought that we would attack the garden’s problems in a proactive way. Thinking that the red dirt may be a prob-
lem, we ordered a truckload of topsoil. We placed the topsoil garden smack-dab in the middle of the backyard. We addressed the problem of too much shade by lopping off a few tree branches, which opened up the site to several hours of full sun each day.
We grew cucumbers and green beans from seed, but purchased Ger-man Johnson and German Queen tomato plants. When I purchased these items, however, I happened to muse about how the cost of seeds and plants would stack up against the cost of fresh vegetables.
Oh well, the fl avor of fresh homegrown tomatoes is priceless.
Early on, the garden produced a pro-lifi c crop — of rocks. We have done rock removal of the garden patch each year. Two very large heaps of rocks stand as a testimony. We fi gured that we must have left two rocks in the garden from last year which met, fell in love and produced a crop of new rocks which pop up to the surface on a daily basis. I realized that this fl ies in
the face of common sense, but the evidence piled up. Each time I pull weeds I end up throwing out more rocks than I do weeds.
Overall, the garden plants came out well. The runner beans produced enough to
eat and extra to save for seed. The green pepper plants gave birth to produce that was actually edible.
Remember the tomato plants? They were the origi-nal goal of the gar-den. We watered, lopped off more tree branches to bring in additional sunshine and faithfully weed-ed. At one point I even cheated and
began to use Miracle Gro. Keep in mind that I didn’t aspire to pro-
duce a truckload crop for market. Just a sandwich or two.
I was thrilled when the backyard toma-toes began to blossom. I was even more pleased when I noticed fi ve of the little yel-low blossoms start to develop into toma-toes — one a huge monster which grew to double-fi st size. But I was more than a little confused when the developing green toma-toes began to disappear one by one. When the monster tomato disappeared, I debated
about pulling the last tomato and bringing it inside to ripen.
It’s still too green, I told myself. Too late — when I checked again two days later, it too had disappeared.
While Ed talked about the installation of a wildlife camera, I fussed and I fumed, but I didn’t give up.
In the last week in July more than a dozen pea-sized tomatoes emerged on the tomato plants. Seventeen of ’em, to be ex-act.. I was so excited. Little by little, they grew and matured. I kept an eye on them and no more disappeared.
This story has a happy ending. I am pleased to report that we picked our fi rst vine-ripened tomato, and a half-dozen of its little friends on Labor Day!
It was expensive and took a lot of work, but my tomato sandwich certainly was tasty.
So, with a tomato-juice toast, we say good-bye to summer and hello to cooler weather.

TRASH SERVICE Continued from front“I’ve been here 40 years and I haven’t
needed Trinity trash service,” Ivey began. “If they want trash service they need to go over on their land, build a fence, have dumpsters put in and hire a man at the gate and that’ll be Trinity’s trash service.”
Ivey went on to say that he lives on a limited income and his son handles his trash.
“I appreciate your son taking care of your trash,” responded Councilman Kelly Grooms.
“It’s legal,” Ivey insisted.“But just because you can do it don’t
mean it’s right,” Grooms continued. “We’re taking care of each other’s neigh-bors and Guilford County and Randolph County are our neighbors. You can’t just dump your trash in somebody else’s yard and think that that’s OK.”
Ivey reinterated, “We ain’t dumping in nobody else’s yard, what’s going on is le-gal.”
“But you are, you’re dumping in Guil-
ford County,” Grooms rebutted, “and it comes back to the City Council to deal with it. Taking one problem to another city doesn’t solve it.”
After Bailie answered some of his ques-tions, longtime Trinity resident Chester Ayres said he now agrees with the proposal for curbside trash and recycling.
“Recyclables quickly mount up,” Ayres pointed out.
Ayres did express some concerns, chief among them that residents living on pri-vate roads should not have to sign a dam-age waiver in order to receive trash pick up.
Under the current proposal, residents on private streets are not required to par-ticipate, but may opt in and receive service if they agree to hold the haulers and the city harmless for any road damage.
“If damage is done by a trash hauler, then shouldn’t that damage be paid for?” Ayres asked. “On what basis would we want to evade our responsibility?”
Former Councilwoman Edith Reddick, while not opposed to curbside trash and recycling, does not believe it should be mandatory.
“When I ran for City Council 11 years ago, I said if you don’t like something you need to come out and talk about it because we don’t know if you don’t tell us,” Red-dick recalled. “What I don’t like about trash and recycling is making everyone do it. Some people may be getting raises, but I’m in furniture and we’re not getting raises, we’re getting cuts.”
Reddick also pointed out that senior citizens are not getting raises and have physical limitations. “Who’s gonna haul the senior citizen’s (toter) to the road?” she asked.
Lewis Hall believes that the city has done the best they could.
“I understand that by state and federal law we’re mandated to do recycling, we have no choice, people,” Hall said. “At least we can keep the cost down.”
Trinity resident Clay Poole shared his views.
“I remember about a year ago being in here listening to the same arguments, all the negatives, all the pros,” he said. “I heard the comment that people couldn’t af-ford it. Well, what I’m trying to fi gure out is, what are they doing with their garbage if they can’t afford it? Are they hauling it somewhere else to someone else’s dump-ster?”
Poole said he stopped putting plastic in his garbage, but it just keeps piling up and he has nowhere to take it.
“Yeah, I think we need recycling,” he told Council. “I think it ought to be done and done. Get it done with and let’s quit talking about it!”
The city’s trash and recycling task force addressed some of these concerns at their meeting Monday, Sept. 27, too late for this edition of the NEWS.
The next regular meeting of the Trinity City Council is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19.

Church NewsService of healing Oct. 17
New Covenant Lutheran Church in Archdale invites the community to attend a healing worship service at 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 17.
Organizers say the service is an expression of the min-istry of healing. All who sense the need for God’s healing in any part of their lives may join in prayer for others and themselves.
The service includes the laying on of hands and anoint-ing with oil and prayer.

“We offer and celebrate gifts such as God’s presence with strength and comfort in time of suffering, God’s promise of wholeness and peace and God’s love embodied in the community of faith,” Knutson said.

“We Want to be Your Neighborhood Pharmacy!”
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confu-sion.
Psalms 71:1 (KJV)
There are several schools of thought on the issue of whether poverty can be ended: One which says that it can; one which says that it cannot; and one which says that poverty cannot be eliminated, but that it can certainly be diminished. Assuming that we can either end or at least diminish poverty, then we need to know the best way to do so. On this issue, one school of thought says that we should give aid and charity to the poor and thus lift them out of poverty in that way, and another school of thought which says that this kind of aid or charity does more harm than good by creating people who are dependent on others. This latter school of thought contends that we need to help others to help themselves, by giving them training or education which will allow them to then support themselves by getting a job or starting their own business. This is the familiar notion that if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish you feed him for a lifetime. More and more economists and social scientists are saying that we need to do the latter. So, teach someone how to fish, or how to run a business, and help to lift them out of poverty.
CAN WE END POVERTY?
For you have the poor with you always,and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do nothave always.

This is why we walk ...
Torrey stared at the heaving chest of his newborn son Trevor, swaddled
with chest tubes, IVs and a ventilator. His concentration was interrupted when his mother-in-law ran down the hall to say that his wife Jodi had crashed. Torrey walked into the hospital room to see Jodi hemorrhaging and her chest being pumped.
BY KATHY STUART
The chaos of this moment in March 2009 was only a glimpse into the lives of the Seidel family for the next two weeks — a journey that ended with Trevor’s death from a disease the family had never heard of — ARPKD, autosomal recessive poly-cystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that affects the kidneys and liver. ARPKD can also result in extremely underdevel-oped lungs in newborns.
The experience instilled in Jodi and Torrey a mission to educate others and to give thanks for a family who stood strong at their side — including Wayne Kellum of Trinity, Jodi’s maternal uncle.
“Our family got us through the toughest days of our lives,” said Jodi from her Cary home.
Wayne witnessed the two-week journey of Torrey, Jodi and Trevor. “It’s amazing the way the family came around to sup-port Jodi and Torrey,” said Wayne, a staff member of Fayetteville Street Christian School in Asheboro. His wife Lynn teaches at Archdale Elementary School.
“If you had seen Trevor without medi-cal equipment, he looked like any newborn baby,” he said.
The disease stumped two hospitals.
Monday, March 9At fi rst, Trevor bellowed like any
healthy newborn. Within an hour after Jo-di’s C-section, Trevor went into respiratory distress. Chest tubes fl anked his sides and a ventilator pumped oxygen. Doctors said Trevor’s lungs were underdeveloped. They didn’t know why.
As Torrey watched Trevor struggle, his mother-in-law alerted him of the crisis that nearly claimed Jodi’s life. Her labor had been long and her platelets were low, traits they would later learn are connected to ARPKD.
“We got Jodi under control and then I’d run back to Trevor,” Torrey said.
Jodi, still foggy from anesthesia and the hemorrhage, was somewhat aware of Trevor’s instability.
Meanwhile, Trevor was being prepared for a transfer to WakeMed hospital, where he could be placed on a jet ventilator. Tor-rey went with Trevor to WakeMed. Jodi and her mother stayed at Rex Healthcare. The family talked every 20 minutes throughout the night. Trevor’s oxygen levels remained unstable. Doctors still didn’t know why his lungs were so underdeveloped.
Tuesday, March 10Jodi was transferred to WakeMed about
4 p.m. She had precious few hours with
Trevor because he was life-fl ighted to Duke University Medical Center at 1 a.m. His oxygen levels continued to plummet.
Torrey, driving from WakeMed, fol-lowed the helicopter on Interstate 40. Jodi and a family member left Wake Med, against medical advice, and headed for Duke, as did other members of the family.
On the phone, consent was given for Trevor to be placed on an ECMO — a ma-chine that provides cardiac and respiratory support to patients whose heart and lungs are severely diseased.
In a stairwell at Duke, Torrey met the doctor who would diagnose ARPKD. However, for that moment, all Dr. Whel-don could say was that Trevor’s kidneys were enlarged, a symptom that had not been recognized before.
“Shortly after our arrival, Dr. Wheldon informed us they suspected (Trevor’s) re-spiratory issues were related to his swollen kidneys,” Jodi said.
Wednesday, March 11On the second day of ECMO, Dr. Whel-
don presented the diagnosis of ARPKD. That’s when the education of the disease began for the family. Trevor was stable at this point and the doctors hoped the holes in his lungs would begin to heal. Tor-rey and Jodi researched the disease and asked questions, lots of questions. With so little research of the disease, there were only bits of information, much of it at www.pkdcure.org, the website of the Poly-cystic Kidney Disease Foundation. They also relied on other parents who had expe-rienced this with their children.
March 12-16Trevor remained on the ECMO ma-
chine. Good days, bad days. More tests. More monitoring. Jodi was discharged March 13 but her life remained at Duke. Doctors and family insisted that Torrey or Jodi go home for a little while, but rest was elusive. One night, Jodi collapsed on the stairs at her home.
“One day we would feel hope, the next devastated,” said Jodi. They tried to es-tablish a routine with a son they could not hold. They read to him, sang to him, played lullabies. They had not yet seen his eyes.
By March 16, they learned that Trevor’s prognosis was poor. The family was given the option of palliative care.
“The doctor said we had to make a deci-sion at this point,” Jodi said.
In what seemed like a surreal world, Jodi all the while thought, “They can fi x this. This is Duke.”
March 17-20Trevor was stepped down from the
ECMO, to a jet ventilator, to a ventilator and to a C-pap. His oxygen levels remained unstable. On March 20, Jodi held her baby for the fi rst time and met with doctors about a “do not resuscitate” order.
Saturday, March 21Trevor was transferred to palliative
care. Finally off heavy sedation, Jodi held her baby and saw his eyes. Torrey and Jodi held their baby for the rest of his life. They felt the weariness of being a newborn’s parents, a feeling they treasure.

and Cary couple
Sunday, March 22Trevor went into respiratory distress
and was given morphine to help with the pain of “air hunger.” He was baptized by the hospital chaplain.
Monday, March 23“Trevor passed away in my arms,” Jodi
said. “He was surrounded by his family.”There is no cure for this disease and
without family and faith the journey would have been unbearable for the Seidels.
“They sat with us at the hospital, made sure we ate, took care of the daily functions of our house and let us cry on their shoul-ders... It brought us all closer to each other and closer to God.
“We have all been forever changed by the experience. We feel very blessed to have such a supportive and loving family and friends.”
Walk for the CureTrevor’s baby book grows with the im-
pact of his short life. Last October, the family participated in
Walk for the Cure to benefi t the Polycys-tic Kidney Disease Foundation. Pictures of their family, “Team Trevor,” are included in the book.
Amy Stuart, a 1994 Trinity High School graduate, coordinated the 2009 walk held at Apex Community Park. She and Bruce Howell will co-chair the Oct. 3 walk at the same location. They promoted the statewide walk at the Bush Hill Heritage Festival.
Team Trevor was the top fundraiser of the 2009 event, which raised nearly $20,000.
Uncle Wayne was among the donors and encourages others to donate as well.
Donations not only benefi t research, Wayne said, it also gives people hope for a cure and assurance to people like Jodi, Tor-rey and Trevor that family stands with you.
It also gives assurance to local families — the Stuarts and the Smiths.
Henry Stuart of Archdale, Amy’s father, has the disease that caused his kidney fail-ure in 1995. Three years ago he received a kidney transplant and is doing well, but symptoms of the disease still impact his life. Amy has the disease as well as the Stuart’s son, Michael.
Norma Smith of Archdale has the dis-ease as does her son Rusty. Both have hadkidney transplants and are doing well.
Grief to activismAs a result of the Seidels’ experience,
they have served on the Patient-FamilyCentered Care committee at Duke to imple-ment changes in PICU such as a more com-fortable waiting room, direct access com-munication with the PICU secretary ratherthan a buzzer, implementation of a primarydoctor caregiver because of the number ofphysicians becomes overwhelming, thepurchase of bedside recliners and develop-ment of a parent advisory council. Theyalso advocated before the Certifi cate ofNeed Section for Rex Hospital and WakeMed to receive additional equipment.
Amy has taken a similar direction. Forthe second year, she is serving as the walkcoordinator to raise money for research.She also volunteers with Carolina DonorServices and lobbies her representativesto increase research funding for the dis-ease. More research money could resultin a long-term savings because dialysis,primarily covered by Medicare, is a costlyprocedure.
“Research is the key to fi nding a cure,”said Amy. “Billions of dollars are neededon a yearly basis for kidney patients; I amincluded in that number.”
At last year’s walk, Amy spoke of the600,000 people in the nation who have thedisease. At each point, walkers said, “Thisis why we walk.”
Like Amy, Jodi encourages others toeducate themselves and to donate.
“Please help me make a difference bymaking a donation today or joining ourteam,” Jodi writes in ‘PKD Progress.’
“And so for you, Trevor, we walk...”

Disease Foundation will be held Sunday,Oct. 3, at Apex Community Park. Registra-tion begins at 1 p.m. and the walk at 2 p.m.The park is at 2200 Laura Duncan Road,Apex, NC 27511. To donate or donate to ateam, visit www.pkdcure.org.

Pictured from left are Zach Thompson, NEWS editor Kathy Stuart with her husband Henry, Michael Stuart, lower right, and Amy Stuart. Henry, Michael and Amy have the disease.

Board member Gary Cook, however, expressed con-cern that additional teachers and assistants might lose theirjobs again. “I’m afraid if we hire more people now, thennext year, if the bottom falls out ... In my opinion, it’s bet-ter to prepare for that rainy day. If we don’t have that rainyday, then we’re fine.”
Superintendent Donald Andrews said, “When you lookat what is going on all across the state, one-third or 29 per-cent are holding all the money for next year.”
“It’s definitely go-ing to get worse be-fore it gets better,” said Todd Lowe, Ran-dolph County Schools Finance Officer.
The Board allocated $75,000 of the money for remediation, which supports students who need to be retested.

“There is no secret password, and no coupon to bring in,” said Ernest Bayne, owner of Archdale Subs.
Diners can order the same great-tasting food that they would ordinarily get and the restaurant will donate a por-tion of the proceeds from that day to United Way of Great-er High Point.
“We put little fliers out on all the tables,” said Lisa Bayne. “It’s all day. Whatever we make that day, 10 per-cent goes to United Way. We have done it every year.”
This is the second year for Kim Cates, owner of Domi-no’s Pizza in Hillsville, and the High Point group of Dom-ino’s owners.
“I support the United Way as just another way to give
back to our community,” Cates said. “We all have strug-gles, but we also all have blessings. The right thing to do is to help those in need whenever we can. The United Way supports so many. We are glad to help.”
Jerry Rozier, owner of Archdale Soda Shop, reiterated Cates’ belief in helping others through United Way. This is his first year as a participant.
“I try to help charitable organizations as much as I can,” he said.
This is the fifth year for Dine Out Day, said Sarah Bark-er of United Way of Greater High Point.
Last year’s event yielded $5,640 from 45 restaurants who participated. Most donate 10 percent of their pro-ceeds. With 54 participating restaurants, Parker hopes this year’s event will net $7,000.
“We were thrilled the responses came back so quickly,” Barker said of the increase of participating restaurants.
United Way of Greater High Point funds 70 programs at 29 partner agencies which touch the lives of 70,000 people in Archdale, Trinity, High Point and Jamestown.

“We are affiliated with COAT because it’s an orga-nization that already has so
many mechanisms in place to help those in need. We want to help support COAT as much as possible.”

The classesare free and funded through a grant from the RandolphHospital Community Health Foundation.For more infor-mation or to register, call 629-8836.

WAGE$® improves teacher skills, turnoverLast year, more
than 1,600 young children in Randolph County gained more highly-skilled teach-ers committed to their classrooms thanks to the Child Care WAGE$® Project, said the Ran-dolph County Partner-ship for Children.
STAFF REPORT
The project, funded by the Partnership, provides funding to reward higher levels of education and re-tain 143 early childhood professionals as a way to improve children’s early learning experiences. Re-search shows that child-care programs with highly-skilled teachers and low turnover rates benefit chil-dren developmentally, so-cially and eventually eco-nomically.
Research proves chil-dren benefit long-term when they have teachers
with college level course-work in early childhood ed-ucation and are adequately-compensated.
Unfortunately, according to the Partnership, North Carolina preschool teach-ers make approximately $22,530 a year.
The Child Care WAGE$® Project provides salary supplements to qual-ifying early educators. It encourages teachers to take college-level early educa-tion classes and rewards them financially for achiev-ing higher levels of educa-tion and for staying at the same center.
Tammy Hill, director of First Church of God Day School in Archdale says, “WAGE$ is a wonderful in-centive to encourage teach-ers at our center to pursue higher education. Through this program, we are able to retain great teachers and give our children the high quality early education they deserve.”
Last year, 91 percent of WAGE$ recipients in Ran-dolph County indicated the program either encouraged them to stay at their cur-rent child-care center or to pursue further education. Since joining WAGE$, 64 percent of recipients have participated in early educa-tion coursework.
Additionally, Randolph County’s turnover rate for teachers last year was 13 percent as compared to a countywide 31 per-cent turnover rate prior to the implementation of the WAGE$ project.
“In today’s economy, my WAGE$ supplement has made the difference between being able to keep my home, car, etc.,” com-mented a local early child-hood professional.
“Times are so hard; the supplement has been a life-saver.”
The Randolph County Partnership for Children, a nonprofit organization, is
the community’s lead or-ganization for young chil-dren and their families. The Partnership for Children is a United Way of Randolph County agency. For more information, visit www.randolphkids.org.
The Randolph County Health Depart-ment in collaboration with Girl Scout Troop 40680 will hold a fall fling from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Ran-dolph County Animal Shelter,
The shelter is at 1370 County Lane Road in Randleman.
The event includes animal petting, food vendors, music, a meet and greet with “Stargazer” the mini horse. Animal adop-tions will take place.
For more information call the Randolph County Animal Shelter at 683-8235 or visit www.rcaspets.org.

Weatherman and his wife Heather were injured while returning home from the Pink Heals Tour, in which firefighters ride motorcy-cles accompanied by pink fire engines to raise cancer awareness.
Helms was riding with the couple and witnessed the accident in his rear-view mirror.
“We were about 10 min-utes out from Laurinburg,” he said. “We came around an s-curve and there was this SUV in the road.”
Helms slowed down and saw that the driver was backing up. Helms and an-other vehicle went around the SUV, but the driver didn’t see the Weathermans or Darren Pierce, who was behind them.
Horrified, Helms watched as the SUV struck the Weath-ermans’ motorcycle. Pierce had to go for the grassy shoulder to avoid being struck himself.
Helms felt helpless. Fire-fighters on the ride had no rescue supplies.
“It’s not like we had a squad truck and an engine,” he said.
Darren, who suffered se-rious injuries to his pelvis, hip, left leg and ankle, was transported to a hospital in Laurinburg. He was later transferred to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center where he underwent multiple surgeries. While in the hospital, a group of his fellow firefighters went to visit him each day.
Heather is recovering from injuries to her knee and leg.
Darren has been with Guil-Rand Fire Department for 18 years.
“Darren is a very com-munity-oriented man who loves to help people,” said Guil-Rand Assistant Chief Scott Spencer. Heather is a charter member of the Guil-Rand Ladies Auxiliary.
“She is right there by his side,” Spencer said.
The couple, who live in Sophia, have two children.
Volley for a cure Oct. 7As part of her senior project at Wheatmore High School,
Courtney Rains will hold a fundraiser to benefit Relay ForLife. The event will take place during the Wheatmore vs.Trinity volleyball matches on Thursday, Oct. 7. The ju-nior varsity games start at 5 p.m. and varsity games follow.Wheatmore’s team will sport pink jerseys.
Breast cancer awareness apparel and other items will befor sale and part of the proceeds and admissions will helpthe cause. “Let’s pack the place in pink!” said Rains.
More than $40,000 was raised in
Sept. 11’s Pink Heals Tour in High Point to benefit High Point Re-gional Health System’s LoveLine Cancer Sup-port Program.
The Pink Heals Tour, included a Main Street pa-rade in which scores of can-cer survivors participated. Cancer survivors and their families wrote inspirational messages on the sides of the six pink fire trucks.
