Under current law, Jordan said, hospital police are limited in what they can do to restrain or detain in- voluntary commitments. Hospital police are bound by civil liability, he said. If involuntary com- mitments are combative or if they flee, police hands are legally tied in using force or in pursuit outside hospital walls. Because of these limita- tions, Ashe County Sher- iff’s deputies and other local law enforcement of- ficers spend hundreds of man hours every year de- taining and transporting involuntary commitments. “It was a local bill,” he said. “I was trying to fix the problem in my area… I didn’t want all the blow back of a statewide bill.” In its first draft, the bill was entitled “an act to to expand the arrest and law enforcement authority of hospital police officers in Ashe County.” It did just that, permitting DPS to enter into mutual aid agree- ments with other local law enforcement, allowing county-wide jurisdiction. “It got a lot of push- back” Jordan said, with the Attorney General, and the UNC School of Government Ashe legislation may pilot statewide bill Rep.

State Univer- sity, Kimberly Ring, a graduate of Ashe County High School, looks to continue to leave her mark on the fashion world in Raleigh. Despite being a freshman in N.C. State’s fashion and textile de- sign program, Ring earned several achievements during the 2012- 2013 school year. “There were a lot of all-nighters last year, but it was worth it,” said Ring about her work. Most notably, Ring, along with fellow student Ford Bowden, were pitted against professional design- ers in the Redress Raleigh fashion show, and submitted one of 11 featured collections in the show. Ring and her partner were the only students who were featured in the show, the rest were collec- tions designed by professionals. “It was a giant honor to be fea- tured in the show,” said Ring. During the Redress Raleigh fashion show, Ring had the oppor- tunity to meet industry leaders. The items submitted by Ring and her partner were also “Eco-friend- ly,” meaning they used natural fabrics and dyes instead of syn- thetic materials. Ring said she has now incorpo- rated Eco-friendly designing into her fashion style, along with using sophisticated patterns and func- tional designs. Ring her family moved to Ashe County from Orlando when she was 5-years-old, and Ring said she considers herself an “Ashe County girl.” Ring said she has always been artistic, ever since the first time she started drawing. Ring took different art classes throughout her school career, but it wasn’t until she made her first dress ju- nior year that she discovered her true passion. Her first dress would be her attire for her junior prom. At the time, Ring had never sewn her own dress, let alone thought about fashion as a career. “It’s funny, junior year I just said to myself, ‘I’m going to make my own prom dress,’ and I did,” said Ring. Ring completed her first dress in 2011 using her grandmother’s vintage sewing machine, and did so with no experience and no pat- terned fabric to work with. Afterword, Ring continued to design dresses to use for her portfolio upon entry into N.C. State’s fashion and textile design program. She also made her own Kimberly Ring designed this dress and chair using her own triangle pattern freshman year at N.C. State, and had a fellow student model the dress for a quick photo. This design earned her first place in beginner’s apparel and textiles in the Cotton First Design Competition and Exhibition in 2012.

YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER
KEEP PUBLIC NOTICES IN YOUR NEWSPAPER! Pending legislation may re-move your right to read public notices in newspapers, moving them from the public domain to the internet. We’re con-cerned. And you should be, too. Public notices are an im-portant tool in assuring an informed citizenry. They have helped develop America into a participatory democracy for hundreds of years and where it counts the most: how your tax dollars are spent, how policy is made and how our futures are charted.
They are located in easy-to-fi nd pages of your newspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone - unlike the internet, which is not accessible to ev-eryone. Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local, state or federal government website daily, according to the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bu-reau, Annual Estimates of Resident Population. This means more than nine out of ten people may never see a given notice. This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% of adults read a commu-nity newspaper every week, ac-
cording to the National News-paper Association. Furthermore, a public notice printed in the newspaper pro-duces a permanent record. The internet does not, nor does it assure timeliness. And a news-paper is archived for years; not subject to computer crashes and hackers. Newspapers are easily verifi -able, fully transparent and rep-resent a secure third party who has nothing to gain from any notice. Newspapers are your watch-dogs. Don’t let that role be changed now.

John Walters, Store Sales Representative, has attended a comprehensive three-day training program designed to qualify him as a “Certified FeedMaster Specialist®” for Southern States Cooperative, Inc.
The rigorous training program is tied to the Southern States’ Feed-
Master program and is designed to augment the existing knowledge base of employees involved in advising the co-op’s cus-tomers on issues related to feeding various types of animals. The program provides new and updated information and qualifies for continuing education
units (CEUs) by the Amer-ican Registry of Profes-sional Animal Scientists (ARPAS), a national or-ganization that certifies animal scientists through examination.
Professors from land grant universities in the Southern States service area, industry nutrition-
ists and veterinarians were among those conducting technical sessions during the program Walters attended.
“With all the research and new developments occurring, animal own-ers need and want the best possible counsel on feed nutrition and feed solutions in general,” says
Rich Schneider, part of the Southern States team that developed the FeedMaster program. “FeedMaster programs instill knowl-edge in our people, so that we can truly provide people who know.”
Founded in 1923, Southern States is a Rich-mond, Va. based farm supply and service coop-erative that now has more than 300,000 farmer-members. One of the na-tion’s largest agricultural cooperatives, Southern States provides a wide range of farm inputs, in-cluding fertilizer, seed, livestock feed and pet food, animal health sup-plies and petroleum prod-ucts, as well as other items for the farm and home.
The cooperative serves its members and non-mem-ber customers through 1,200 retail outlets. Please visit http://www.southern-states.com for more infor-mation. Southern States – farmer owned since 1923.

North Carolina’s jobs picture remains bleak de-spite superficial improve-ment the state’s unem-ployment rate, according to new numbers released by the N.C. Division of Employment Security on Friday, May 17.
Almost 20,000 work-ers dropped out of the labor force last month, including 15,000 jobless workers who were unable to find employment and gave up searching.
“Although today’s re-port provides some su-perficial good news, it’s not quite as good news as first appears,” said Al-lan Freyer, policy analyst with the NC Budget & Tax Center.
“The unemployment rate is dropping because jobless folks are giving up on finding work and dropping out of the labor force, not because we’re experiencing significant and meaningful job cre-ation,” said Freyer.
As a result of these changes, the labor force (the pool of prime age workers who either have a job or want one) is now at the lowest level since July 2012, erasing almost 9 months worth of gains.
Even more troubling, the total number of em-ployed people in North
Carolina also dropped to the lowest levels since October 2012, suggest-ing that North Carolina’s economy is continuing to struggle in generating long-term sustainable job creation.
Although the unem-ployment rate dropped from 9.2 to 8.9 percent in April, most of this improvement is due to a mathematical quirk in how the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the jobless rate, not meaning-ful improvements in the state’s job creation.
This rate is determined by dividing the number of unemployed workers who are looking for work by the number of workers in the labor force.
Given that the la-bor force contracted by 20,000 and the total number of employed workers also dropped by 4,000 at the same time, it appears that the 14,000 drop in the number of unemployed workers is largely the result of job-less workers becoming discouraged and giving up on looking for work and dropping out of the labor force altogether.
As a result, this makes the unemployment rate look lower than it actu-ally is.

Gamma Delta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma had two spring meetings in 2013.
The first Spring Meet-ing was held Saturday, March 16, at the Ashe Campus of Wilkes Com-munity College.
George Zeller, an Ashe County Middle School teacher, presented a pro-gram on living and work-ing in Africa as a teacher at an international school.

Gamma Delta was honored to provide a donation to the project in honor of our program providers in 2012-2013.
Several committee re-ports were given includ-ing information about the gifts given to first year teachers in Alleghany and Ashe County.
The April Spring meet-ing was held at the Spar-ta Methodist Church in Alleghany County. After a short business meet-ing, there was a special induction ceremony for 10 new members of Gam-ma Delta.

Tea Party nanny state is no Mary Poppins
T h e Tea Party crowd — that lov-able fringe w h i c h s t a n d s f u r t h e s t to the right and s c r e a m s “get off my lawn!” at any-body to their left — are for-ever grip-ing about the nanny state, shaking their fists at government wher-ever it threatens indi-vidual liberty in the name of public health and welfare.
But don’t be fooled: these crabby parti-sans stand flat-footed in favor of legislative nannying, just not the doting-but-firm Mary Poppins variety.
No, the Tea Party nanny state — call it the granny state — is more like one of Pop-pins’ predecessors: a strict old governess in a frumpy black dress, with a switch in one bony hand and a bot-tle of castor oil in the other, and she doesn’t sing songs about spoonfuls of sugar.
And warts. She’s got plenty warts.
The nanny state presumes to tell you what’s best for you. The granny state knows what’s best for you, and aims to give it to you good and hard.
A selection of granny legislation introduced by N.C. Tea Party lawmak-ers this year could be used to write the script for a feel-good musical about uni-lateral demagoguery — call it “Granny Goes to Raleigh.”
“If you mooches want public assis-tance, you’ll have to pee in this cup,” Gran-ny scolds the poor. “That’ll be $100!”
“You little tramps can get birth control and STD testing,” Granny berates the teenagers. “But you’ll have to get notarized permission from your
parents.”“If you
want a d i v o rc e , you’ll just have to wait two y e a r s , ” G r a n n y chastens the un-h a p p i l y marr ied . “ A n d y o u ’ l l have to take mar-riage fix-in’ class-
es, too.”“You can vote, but
you’ll have show pic-ture ID,” Granny ad-monishes the voters. “And you smart-alec college kids can vote at school, I sup-pose, but your par-ent can’t claim you on their taxes.”
“No federally-fund-ed health care for you,” Granny shakes her finger at the un-insured. “You can just move Florida if that’s the sort of thing you want.”
“If you slackers have to draw unem-ployment, go ahead, but it’ll be less now,” Granny chides the job-less. “And you won’t be getting it for very long, either.”
“There’s not room for all you little ur-chins in Pre-K,” Gran-ny shoos the children. “But it looks like we might squeeze a few more of you bigger kids into these other classrooms.”
“If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding!” squawks Granny at whoever will listen. “How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”
No, there wasn’t a bill making it unlaw-ful to eat dessert with-out first eating dinner, and with the Gen-eral Assembly past its crossover deadline for this legislative ses-sion, there probably won’t be.
But next session Granny might file such a bill, with a subsection that says you can’t buy cake and ice cream with your EBT card.
I thought Republicans wanted less government, but interfering in medical treatments, testing, coun-seling and procedures is as invasive as it gets.
House Bill 693 requires that teenag-ers receive parental consent to make medical decisions and that a notary public witness that consent, even if
the parent is present at the doctor’s office. This serves no purpose other than to shame the parent and will discourage NC teens from seeking medical care. Talk about infringe-ment of rights! Who are these leg-islators we elected and why are they trying to control so many personal decisions and rights? We need to
wake up and pay attention to what’s going on in NC and take action. Write to Jonathan Jordan and Dan Soucek and tell them to stop wasting time and money on ridiculous things like this, and do something to help North Carolinians!
Sincerely,Beth Sorrell

Revamped road race to challenge athletesEastern America’s highest el-
evation township has revamped its annual road race to take advan-tage of its rarified altitude.
The Beech Mountain 10k ClimbMax, presented by Beech-Mtn.com, is set to challenge run-ners with a demanding course on Saturday, June 22.
The race includes more than 800 total feet of elevation gain. The first two miles will be mostly downhill, winding along a scenic stretch of Beech Mountain Park-way toward the ski village. From that point, it’s a long, steady up-hill climb, punctuated by several switchbacks and long-range vis-tas, to a height of 5,443 feet, just below the mountain’s summit.
The route replaces a fairly chal-lenging five-mile course upon which the town hosted an event known as “A Cool 5” for several years.
“We wanted to take advantage of our altitude differentials, high-lighting descents, ascents, vistas and our beautiful township,” said race director Tim Fox of the Beech Mountain Parks & Recreation De-partment. “It will be unlike any other race course we know of on the East Coast.”
As in previous years, there will be a simultaneous fun run/walk for family members and others of all ages. Strollers and pets are allowed, and encouraged, in the fun run.
However, the main event is geared toward the serious runner.
“We’re looking to attract not only locally competitive runners of all age groups, but also runners from across the country. We want this to become a major event on the East Coast,” Fox said. “If you think other races are challenging, try this one.”
Course-side lodging specials will be available, along with post-race activities.
The entry fee for adults is $30 through May 20; and $35 from May 21 until race day. Race day registration is $40. Children 13 and under may register at any time for $20.
Entry fees include a t-shirt, good-ie bags, and post-race activities.
“Endurance will be a key. There will be hairpin turns, short climb-ing bursts and short bursts of down elevations, as well as long, grinding up elevations,” said Fox. “People are always looking for that challenge, for that one event that takes it up a notch and tests them. This is it.”

Alcohol safety initiative resumes
A multi-agency safety initiative aimed at summer holiday travel will resume throughout North Caroli-na, beginning on Memorial Day weekend.
The “On the Road, On the Water, Don’t Drink and Drive” campaign will work to reduce accidents on the state’s roadways and water-ways, which see increased traffic this time of year.
Unfortunately, too many accidents are alcohol-re-lated. In North Carolina, a driver or vessel operator with a blood-alcohol con-centration that meets or ex-ceeds .08 or is appreciably impaired by alcohol and/or drugs is subject to arrest.
The campaign is made up of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, Wildlife Resources Commission, State Highway Patrol, Al-cohol Law Enforcement, Forensic Tests for Alcohol, U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers, U.S. Coast Guard and local police and sher-
iff’s offices, along with participating organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who work for public safety in their communities.
“On the Road, On the Water, Don’t Drink and Drive is more than an an-nual law enforcement cam-paign,” said Sgt. David Jor-dan, a Commission wildlife officer stationed in Pender County. “It’s a partnership, with the most important partner being a safe and responsible public.”
Officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and special increased patrols during busy holiday peri-ods, combined with special messaging strategies to increase awareness of the dangerous consequences of impaired driving.

hour to shoot.It’s Okay to Ask is a joint
effort from the N.C. Division of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch, Youth Suicide Prevention Program, and works in col-laboration with the N.C. Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force.
According to itsok2ask.com, suicide is the third lead-ing cause of death for ages 10-24, “making it a serious public health issue.”
Holcomb has been a part of the group since November, and said the group’s member really bonded this year.
“We met a couple of time and just talked about suicide detection and prevention,” said Holcomb. “If you know the signs, it’s easier to reach out.”
Holcomb became involved with the group after she be-came curious about suicide rates in Ashe County. When she looked up the rates for herself, she was shocked by how high the suicide rate ac-tually is.
Holcomb said she always knew Ashe County’s suicide rate was higher than average, but she never realized how high the rate was until her own investigation, where she discovered Ashe County’s
rate is literally off the chart.“I though that was terrible
and something needs to be done about it,” said Holcomb.
This finding was especially significant for Holcomb, who works as a counselor for mid-dle school students at a local faith organization. Holcomb said she began noticing signs of depression in some of the students she spends time with, and would like to raise public awareness for signs of depression and suicide.
“Ashe County can be a sad place,” said Holcomb, “I just want to help make it a better place to live.”.
Holcomb also said Kurt Cobain, lead singer for the American rock band Nirva-na, influenced her interest in suicide prevention.
Cobain, a hero of Hol-comb’s, committed suicide in 1994 at the age of of 27 after struggling with heroin addic-tion and depression.
Moving forward, Holcomb plans to turn her desire to help others into a profession.
Holcomb will attend East Tennessee State University this fall, and plans on be-coming a pediatrician. To make headway towards this goal, Holcomb has taken nursing classes during her senior year.
taking issue with the bill.In April, The N.C. Sher-
iffs’ Association voted to oppose HB 533 dur-ing their annual legisla-tive meeting in Raleigh, with Ashe County Sheriff James Williams also op-posed to expanded police powers at AMH.
Facing local and state-wide opposition, the bill was amended on the House floor with changes to existing mental health statutes under G.S. 122-C, Jordan said.
The law is ambiguous on use of force by hospital po-lice, and uses vague terms like “24-hour facility” in reference to emergency rooms and hospital facili-ties that are their jurisdic-tion, he said.
House Bill 533 gives AMH police the power to “use appropriate and rea-sonable force and means”
to keep involuntary com-mitments inside hospital facilities, and to give “con-tinuous and immediate pursuit” when they flee.
“The bill now has the support of the Sheriff’s Association, the Police Chief’s Association, the Hospital Association, and the (AMH) police chief and (CEO),” Jordan said.
The Ashe-County-only legislation was also favored by two other counties, Wilkes and Cumberland, where it will also apply if signed into law, he said.
“I think other counties are going to see this as a solution,” he said. “It will probably become a state-wide law next session.”
“I don’t want our local law enforcement sitting there at the hospital, I want them out patrolling,” he said. “That’s what this bill does.”
Warning
Notices Can Disappear on Government websites.
DON’T LET NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIALS REMOVE YOUR RIGHT TO
KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER Pending legislation may re-move your right to read public notices in newspapers, moving them from the public domain to the internet. We’re con-cerned. And you should be, too. Public notices are an im-portant tool in assuring an informed citizenry. They have helped develop America into a participatory democracy for hundreds of years and where it counts the most: how your tax dollars are spent, how policy is made and how our futures are charted. They are located in easy-to-
fi nd pages of your newspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone - unlike the internet, which is not accessible to ev-eryone. Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local, state or federal government website daily, according to the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bu-reau, Annual Estimates of Resident Population. This means more than nine out of ten people may never see a given notice. This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% of adults read a commu-nity newspaper every week, ac-cording to the National News-
paper Association. Furthermore, a public notice printed in the newspaper pro-duces a permanent record. The internet does not, nor does it assure timeliness. And a news-paper is archived for years; not subject to computer crashes and hackers. Newspapers are easily verifi -able, fully transparent and rep-resent a secure third party who has nothing to gain from any notice. Newspapers are your watch-dogs. Don’t let that role be changed now. Contact your local representative today and voice your opinion.

dress for her senior prom.Along with being featured in the Redress Raleigh show,
Ring was also a featured designer for Raleigh Fashion Worx and for NCSU Fashion Week.
She was one of nine grand prize winners in Cotton’s 24-Hour Runway Design Contest in March, and had her work featured on a runway in South Beach, Miami on March 3. Also, Ring, along with other group members, were runners-up in the Glen Raven Marine Design Chal-lenge in 2012, when Ring and her team designed the con-cept art for a yacht.
Also, Ring took first place in the Beginner’s Apparel Collection and in textiles (a collaboration) during the Cotton First Design Competition and Exhibition in 2012.
Ring said her parents are, “of course,” very proud of her work. So is her twin sister who also attends N.C. State. Ring said her sister’s presence has made the transition from small town to Raleigh much easier.
As for what the future holds, Ring said she wants to con-tinue working in fashion design, but doesn’t know where.
“I’m trying to keep an open mind about where I’ll go,” said Ring. She said she enjoyed spending time in New York City during a visit earlier this year, but said she also enjoys Raleigh.
In the spring semester of her junior year, Ring plans to study abroad in either Italy, France or Prague, and will have a better sense of where her career will take her as she moves closer to graduation.
No matter where she ends up though, Ring said she will always consider Ashe County home.

Theater
Trailer Park Broadcast-ing Scandals,” a comedy about a radio broadcast of the latest gossip from the the Luna Del Mar Manu-factured Home Oasis and Monkey Emporium.
In April, they did a pro-duction of “Cosi.” Set in a mental institution, the play is about a university gradu-ate who does a production of Mozart’s opera “Così Fan Tutte” starring a cast
of mental patients, none of whom speak Italian.
But, while Mosaic has established itself with a venue and production re-sources, the company is still freewheeling its ac-tors’ studio.
“We’ve rehearsed in a parking lot once,” Bianchi-ni said. A member of the company has a barn the group may be using for re-hearsal going forward.
Beginning June 7, Mo-
saic will be performing Loose Tiles, a live improv comedy act, at Club 21 ev-ery Friday, with shows be-ginning at 7 and 9. There is a $5 cover, but a “pay what you can” is offered for EBT recipients who show their cards at the door.
The company has three more stage productions scheduled for the remain-der of 2013, and looks to partner with community organizations in what they hope will develop into a program of themed advo-cacy, said Gilly Macknee, Mosaic’s technical director.
September 13-15, the company will perform A. R. Gurney’s “Syliva,” a play about a stray dog who is adopted by a mid-dle-aged couple whose marriage is tested by the new addition to the fam-ily. For this production, Mosaic hopes to partner with the Ashe Humane Society, Macknee said.
And they’d like to get Ashe Suicide/Depression Awareness Prevention to take part in their Novem-ber 22-24 performance of
Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Night, Mother,” he said, which explores the final hour in the life of a mother and a daughter.
Dec. 13-15, the company will do the holiday musical “1940’s Radio Christmas Carol.” Macknee said the company had no sponsor in mind for the production, but that they would like to talk to some Christmas tree growers.
Mosaic is not here to detract from or compete with the 54-year-old Ashe County Little Theater, Bi-anchini said.
“The Little Theater does a great job,” she said. “Our thing is we really want to be doing more than stan-dard community theater.”
“We want to get into the public schools and bring some Shakespeare,” she said.
“People ask ‘why aren’t you going to Boone?’” Bi-anchini said. Her answer: “We need it here. Why can’t Ashe County be-come this hip place that does theater?”
