Blood drive July 15Katy Ezzell, a rising senior at Wheatmore High

School, will host a blood drive from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 15, at the Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity. The effort is her se-nior project.

She has volunteered more than 75 hours since 2008 to support the blood donation services of the American Red Cross. Her goal is to collect 50 units to qualify for a $2,000 scholarship from the American Red Cross.

The supply of type O negative blood and B negative blood at the American Red Cross has dropped to criti-cally low levels, said Perri Coltrane, senior donor re-cruitment representative and mentor for Ezzell. Type O negative blood is always in high demand because it can be transfused to patients with any blood type, especially in emergency situations.

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. The Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet hospital demand. Accident victims, as well as patients with cancer, sickle cell disease, blood disorders and other illnesses receive lifesaving transfu-sions every day.

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with paren-tal permission), meet weight and height requirements and are in generally good health may be eligible to give blood.

Donors should bring their Red Cross donor card or

other form of identification. Donors will receive a Red Cross T-shirt and will be registered to win a $1,000 gift card.

Appointments are strongly recommended. Call314-0211.

Archdale may prohibit yard sales in the parking lots of businesses, like this sale held June 19 in the parking lot of Archdale Plaza.

Revised rules of vegetated buffers in the Randleman Regional wa-

tershed, which went into effect June 1, will have little impact for Archdale and Trinity.

BY ROBYN HANKINS

The N.C. Division of Water Quality has regulated the size of vegetated buffers ad-joining the lake and streams in the Randle-man Regional watershed since 1999. The rules still require 50 feet of vegetative buf-fers between the water’s edge and any de-velopment. The buffers, which consist of

native plants, help filter pollutants and trap debris.

The regula-tions were revised to make them eas-ier to understand and to align the Randleman Lake watershed with similar buffer pro-tections in place throughout the state. Uses that are allowed in the buffer zones, such as no-impact pe-destrian trails and archeological studies, and uses that can be allowed under certain

circumstances, such as drive-ways and util-ity installation, are outlined in a table.

A variance application pro-cess for proj-ects that meet specific criteria is included.

The revision clarifies that buffer regula-tions apply to all streams in the watershed, even if they have not been mapped.

According to a press release, a public

hearing was held Nov. 19 in High Point and public comments were accepted until last December.

Residents of Archdale and Trinity will see little to no change because of the rules.

“Archdale already has this covered,” said Archdale Stormwater Manager D.J. Señeres. “We were actually antic-ipating a higher limit of 100 feet, so that’s what we (implemented). We know in the long term

Yard sale rules could change in Archdale

Archdale’s Planning and Zoning Board was on the verge of prohibiting yard sales at any business,

but has decided to give the matter more thought.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS

The city code of ordinances specifies that residents can have yard sales in residential areas up to two times per year. Archdale defines yard sales to include garage sales and similar events. The term does not include one or two items, like a car for sale.

Last year some businesses let people sell in their park-ing lots. At a June 7 work session, Board member Larry Linthicum pointed out that many were held in front of the Pioneer Family Restaurant. With a different person filing for a city permit each week, the yard sales went on for mul-tiple weekends.

Zeb Holden, code enforcement officer, explained to the NEWS that not all of the vendors had a permit. One person would get a permit and several others would set up nearby, turning a small sale into an impromptu flea market.

Holden said at the work session, “We had some issues the past couple of years with yard sales getting larger, tak-ing parking from other businesses.”

If yard sales at businesses are prohibited, businesses would still be allowed to have “sidewalk sales” or outdoor displays of their own retail products. That change was made in answer to concerns from the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce when the restriction was discussed at a pub-lic hearing in November.

Another proposed change allows religious institutions to have sales, but only twice a year. Board members dis-cussed yard sales by nonprofit organizations at businesses, as well as by family members of business owners.

“Yard sales have a community as well as an individual benefit,” said Board member Lynwood English. He and Board member Doug Monroe suggested they try to address the people who cause problems without overly restricting everybody.

Linthicum and Holden described those problems as events that take up so many parking spots that they hurt adjacent businesses, and safety as drivers try to find park-ing in busy areas like Main Street.

The Board will hold another work session about yard sales on July 12.

Yard sale permit fees, $5, fund the Community Appear-ance Commission. The money from penalty fines for sales with no permit, up to $50, goes to the state and not the city.

STAFF REPORTS

Children can get into trouble in a matter of sec-onds when around water. Safe Kids Randolph Coun-ty recommends that parents actively supervise – with their eyes on their children at all times – when they are in or near the water.

Nationally, drowning is the second highest cause of unintentional death for chil-dren ages 1-4 and 10-14. Approximately three out of four pool submersion deaths and three out of five pool submersion injuries occur at a home pool.

A 3-year-old in Ashe-boro drowned June 29 at a home on Golden Meadow Road.

“Kids drown quickly and quietly,” said Cox. “A drowning child cannot cry or shout for help. The most important precaution for parents is active supervi-sion. Simply being near your child is not necessar-ily supervising.”

To keep kids safe this pool season, Safe Kids Randolph County recom-mends these precautions:

• Actively supervise children in and around wa-ter. Don’t leave, even for a moment. Stay where you can see, hear and reach kids in water.

• A pool or spa should be surrounded on all four sides by a fence at least 5 feet high with gates that close and latch automati-cally. Studies estimate that this could prevent 50 to 90 percent of child drownings in residential pools.

• A pool or spa should be equipped with an anti-entrapment drain cover and a safety vacuum release system to prevent children from being caught in the suction of the drain.

• Don’t leave toys in or

near the pool, where they could attract unsupervised kids. For extra protection, consider a pool alarm and alarms on the doors, win-dows and gates leading to the pool.

• Enroll your kids in swimming lessons about the age of 4, but don’t as-sume swimming lessons make your child immune to drowning.

• Don’t rely on inflatable swimming toys such as wa-

ter wings and noodles. If your child can’t swim, stay within an arm’s reach.

• Learn infant and child CPR.

• Keep rescue equip-ment, a phone and emergen-cy numbers by the pool.

These guidelines apply to inflatable and portable pools, not just in-ground pools. A child can drown in just an inch of water. Kid-die pools should be emp-tied and stored out of reach when not in use.

Even a near-drowning incident can have lifelong consequences. Kids who survive a near-drowning may have brain damage, and after four to six min-utes under water, the dam-

age is usually irreversible. Although 90 percent of parents say they supervise their children while swim-ming, many acknowledge that they engage in other distracting activities at the same time – talking, eating, reading or taking care of another child.

“A supervised child is in sight at all times with your undivided attention focused on the child,” said Cox. “When there are children in or near the water, adults should take turns serving as the designated water watcher, paying undivided attention.”

the better the buffers are, the better the streams will be. We’re trying to stay ahead now, so we don’t have to react later.”

Trinity Stormwater Administrator Rich Baker said that Trinity’s buffers, while not as large as Archdale’s, met the requirements of the revised rules.

“Trinity only has 22 to 24 acres in the water-shed area, so there will be no huge impact to us,” Baker said. “Most of that land is in the northeast part (of the city), and we already have 50-foot stream buffers in place.”

Baker said he will investigate the acreage Trinity has in the watershed to determine if the city needs to take any further action.

Both Señeres and Baker pointed out that these rules were designed to protect water quality by limiting how close development and impervious surfaces can be to the water. Señeres added there are some places that are technically in violation of the buffer, but the areas were grandfathered under the revised rules.

“No one is going to make them move a house that’s been there since 1970-something, but if they want to put in an accessory structure they may have to put it elsewhere,” he said. “The same goes for the redevelopment of existing areas.”

Señeres said that those wanting to start con-struction projects near streams in the watershed, as well as anyone signifi cantly expanding or re-modeling existing development on grandfathered properties, will be the most affected.

“If additions, remodeling or redevelopment of that property exceeds a certain percentage, about 50 percent, the owner or developer would be forced to comply with the new regulations,” he explained.

Every case will be different. Señeres will work one-on-one with any property owner or develop-er who needs to come into compliance with the regulations.

To view the revised rules in their entirety, visit http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/ri-parianbuffers/rules.

In Archdale, questions about a specifi c prop-erty’s compliance should be addressed to Señeres at 434-7344.

In Trinity, contact Baker at 431-2841.

Friends of Trinity has received permission from Mr. Everhart to use his property in Trinity, where the railroad tracks cross N.C. 62, for a farmer’s market. We will start at 7 a.m. Saturday, July 10.

It will probably last until noon.If you have produce to sell,

please join us. Bring your own table or sell from your truck. We hope to eventually make this a yearly thing, but we need growers to help us out.

Hope to see you there — either selling or buying.

Everyone’s gone on vacation and school is out, so I don’t have much to report this month.

Hope you had a great fourth!

Join us at the farmers’ market

A remark made by my pastor, the Rev. Jim Honeycutt at Caraway Baptist, during the Father’s Day service sure hit my grand-son Dylan as funny.

Dylan will turn 13 in July and he thinks he is Mr. Macho at times. Preacher Jim was telling fathers they needed to be the heads of their families and were warning them about a certain type of young man who are after their daughters.

His remark was like this: “If Goober comes to your front door wearing his hat backward and his pants top hanging down around his knees and his “crack” — and I don’t mean cocaine — showing, tell him that you hope he is delivering something because he sure ain’t picking up anything at this house.”

Dylan looked at his mom Shawn and then at me and just roared, right out in church. OK, so did everyone else.

I think I made the remark that he better not even think about trying to pick up a girl at her door because he was way too young. Period. Exclamation mark and all that.

I know he has had his little “girlfriends” for several years, and Mamaw hasn’t been too worried until now. Now he has a pic-ture of a certain young lady on his cell phone and she is kissing him. He certainly is proud of that picture.

Back to the Fathers’ Day message.Preacher Jim told the congregation that

fathers should take the lead in their families and not leave things up to good old mom all the time. Discipline should be dad’s re-

sponsibility unless he isn’t around. I agree totally. In most families, mom is deemed the bad guy because she does most of the discipline. Mom should be the nurturer.

Years ago, back in my childhood days, dads were the disciplinarians. I should know. In our family, my dad could whup harder and longer than our little mom, who did her fair share.

We had a “special” bush growing at the side of our yard. I hated that bush with a passion. It possessed the keenest hickory switches in the whole world. I think God planted it there just for us.

When we heard our full names yelled out by dad or mom, my brothers and I knew we had committed an unpardonable act. It was time to pay the price. We had to go pick a switch off that bush and it had to be a good one or we paid dearly, not that we didn’t pay dearly anyway.

Our parents didn’t know the meaning of the words child abuse. Those words weren’t invented when we were growing up in the 1950s. Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it into the 1960s.

But all three of us did. Striped legs, rear ends and all. I still cringe when I think about that bush.

Not only did my dad wield a mean switch, our grandmother, whom we were instructed to call Mama Tucker and never grandma, could man a mean switch, too. She had prac-tice disciplining her own boys. Ouch. I can still feel the sting of her switch. I think she taught my dad all he knew about whuppin’.

Mama Tucker kept several of her grand-children during the summer and some holidays and we Tucker kids were a rowdy bunch.

She had already raised her fi ve very hard-headed, rowdy boys who fought among themselves as well as fought anyone else that crossed their paths. These boys loved each other and they loved to fi ght. The say-ing around the Highland Cotton Mill area was “don’t mess with one of the Tucker boys ’cause the other four will get you.”

Mama Tucker didn’t put up with a lot of what she called “goings on.” One of her pet peeves was girls shouldn’t ever climb trees or get dirty; they should be lady-like. That’s why I got my share of whuppins. I was never lady-like growing up. I was a tomboy. Hey, I grew up with all boys in my neighborhood and in my family. I had to learn to take up for myself. My girl cousins were all either older or way younger than I was. Who was I to play and fi ght with? Boys.

Many times Mama Tucker found me, wearing a dress, climbing her pear trees or jumping across the creek in the pasture below her house. That’s where the switch came in. She could get me before I could get down from one of those pear trees. She sure was fast for a grandma. And if she didn’t get to the tree fast enough, she just yelled “Phyllis Marie Tucker!” — I still hate hearing my full name called — “get in this house.” I knew to move fast. My cousin Ray Jr., who was my age, always

thought it was funny that I got whuppedfor climbing those trees and he didn’t.

Daddy Tucker was head of the familyand we were all kind of scared of him. His“say so” went unless Mama Tucker over-ruled him. But he was deemed the head,the leader of the family. When he spoke,we listened. Even his own grown sons lis-tened. He took care of his family.

How many children today really listento what their dads and moms say whenthey give them advice?

In Preacher Jim’s message he relatedthat parents were made older and wiserthan their children so they could guidethem. We parents have been there, donethat and paid the consequences for ourmistakes.

God gives us, his children, whuppinstoo when we go astray. Those whuppinsare to make us better Christians and to putus back on the straight and narrow waythat leads to Him.

I sure hope all the whuppins I’ve hadthrough the years by my parents, grand-parents and God have made me a betterperson.

KerryJean

Friend

Her faith & journey

renewed

a congregation

SS he pedaled as fast as she could on the exercise bike. ‘This is good for me,’ thought Kerry Jean

Friend. She had just completed another round of chemotherapy and exercise would keep her body in shape. To check her pace, a pace she envisioned as steady and sure, she looked down at the readout. It blinked ‘PAUSE.’ She was so weak, the bike could not detect her movement.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

But even that wasn’t the lowest point for the 27-year-old. There was more to come, a lot more to overcome, in her year-long treatment of aplastic anemia.

Could life ever get back to the joy she experienced as the youth and children’s pastor at Springfi eld Friends Meeting? To her passion to help others? To being able to pedal an exercise bike?

Like anyone with a life-threatening illness, Kerry Jean had fears but remained steadfast in her trust in God. She returned to her job in May.

As Kerry Jean speaks to the NEWS, the weather is cloudy and her offi ce dark, but her face lights up like a ray of sunshine. Tiny clips adorn her new-growing short, blonde curls, which before chemo had circled her face. Now, she’s just happy to have hair.

Bookshelves fi lled with children’s Bible story books line her offi ce in the 90-year-old meeting house. She’s in the process of making arrangements for a farewell picnic trip with the youth group, and fi nalizing activities for a summer Bible school.

In a few days, Kerry Jean will head back to her home-town in Ohio to a job which will allow her to be closer to the family who was so supportive during her illness. She is grateful for the opportunity to spend a little more time with the youth and congregation who have come to mean so much to her.

“I wanted to be here for the summer to reconnect with the youth and to let them see that I am better,” said Kerry Jean.

Her connection to the youth, to the meeting, renewed the congregation. Kerry Jean took the position of youth pastor in September 2006.

“Since she arrived there have been changes, not just in the youth, but in the whole church,” observed Springfi eld senior pastor Ray Luther. “She has a lot of energy and a deep faith. I think those two things have helped to make a difference for us.

“Her energy and her faith have been positive for the entire congregation, not just the youth. Those two things stand out and draw people to her, and that has been good for us as a church.”

Meeting members made the same observation.“She attracts youth like the Pied Piper,” said Dr. Eldora

Terrell. “She is tireless in her work with youth. She is a deeply committed Christian.”

That faith was tested last year with a ...

Li fe-threatening diagnosisKerry Jean consulted a doctor in the spring of 2009 be-

cause of unexplained bruising. Her life was put on hold when she was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in April 2009.

Aplastic anemia attacks the bone marrow, which produc-es red and white blood cells and platelets. Kerry Jean’s bone marrow wasn’t producing any blood cells or platelets.

At fi rst, doctors attempted to restart the blood produc-tion process in her body through a antithymocyte globulin

treatment, or ATG, which depressed her immune system. “So I waited to see if my bone marrow would start mak-

ing blood cells again,” recalled Kerry Jean. “It didn’t.” The severity of the disease would require a bone marrow transplant.

While Kerry Jean was boosted by frequent blood and platelet transfusions, the search began for a bone mar-row donor match. A drive was held at Springfi eld Friends Meeting.

Kerry Jean had a blood transfusion at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center cancer clinic on July 19 before she headed to her hometown of Leesburg, Ohio, for another bone marrow drive.

Both drives produced many volunteers, but no matches.For a while, she split her time between the two states,

but fi nally reached the conclusion that treatment would continue in Ohio.

To get ready to receive the donor bone marrow, she endured chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Chemo-therapy caused Kerry Jean to lose her hair. When it began to fall out in hunks, she knew that it was time for a haircut. The chemo barber-nurse came around, and she only knew one style — bald.

“So I just sported it,” Kerry Jean said. “I went around bald or I wore a scarf.”

Meanwhile, Kerry Jean’s parents, Ron and Nellda Friend, researched her condition.

“There was quite a bit I didn’t want to tell her [because it] was scary!” said Nellda. “First of all, it is a rare disease, so there are not a lot of statistics.”

Three things could go wrong with a bone marrow transplant. She could contract an infection while her white blood cell count was depressed; the graft might not work; and there was a risk of rejection.

Finally, the call came — a match had been found from the nationwide registry.

Kerry Jean’s bone marrow transplant was Sept. 25.“It was a perfect match,” said Kerry Jean. “I couldn’t

believe it when they told me that the donor had 10 out of 10 matching criteria. They will do a transplant with 8 out of 10 matches.”

Kerry Jean stayed in the hospital for a month following the transplant, waiting to see if the bone marrow would work in her body.

Family and friends were thrilled when her white blood, red blood and platelet counts started coming back and, for the fi rst time in eight months, she didn’t have to get blood and platelet transfusions.

Altogether, she stayed in the James Cancer Cen-ter in Columbus, Ohio for about two months, as she experienced ...

S e t b a c k s a n d l o w p o i n t sFinding and receiving the transplant was only part of

the journey. “She was at death’s door several times,” Dr. Terrell re-

called.When she was fi nally allowed to come home from the

hospital, Kerri Jean still had diffi culty eating and keeping down food. After losing 30 pounds from her slim frame she was unable to stand. She was admitted to the hospital where her fi rst meal was a tube-fed Thanksgiving “dinner.”

Her immune system had been wiped out by the che-motherapy. She developed infections and kept getting sick with colds. The drugs interacted unfavorably.

“I went crazy ... I was out of my mind,” she said. “I thought I was dead or dying. I pulled out my IV and they had to strap me down. It was a scary experience.”

She defi nes the crazy episode as her lowest point, but it

also was the point she began to get better.“The doctors took a close look at my medications and

they took me off of six of them,” she said. “Afterward, I felt a lot better. After that, I was on the road to recovery. “From that point, I received no more transfusions. I started getting healthier and gaining strength and appetite.

“After my drug interaction, I tell (the youth), I don’t know why in the world anyone would want to do drugs.”

She ponders now the journey and knows for sure ...

W hat got her through itKerry Jean credits her “fabulous” family and skilled

medical personnel for her recovery, but what guided her heart and the prayerful hearts of many was God.

“My mom took off from work for a year, so she could help me out day and night,” she said. “My dad took early retirement so he could be with me. I have two brothers, Rusty and Raymond, and they called every day.”

Kerry Jean was amazed by the outpouring of support from Springfi eld as well as other churches in the Archdale-Trinity area. While in the hospital, she received cards from people she knew and others she didn’t know who said she was on their church prayer list.

“When I was in the hospital, all I could do was say thank you for those who were praying for me, because for the fi rst time in my life, I couldn’t pray myself,” said Kerry Jean. “I just didn’t have the energy or the focus.”

During her recovery, when she was too tired to read or watch television, she spent hours listening to music. Christian alternative music was her favorite type. She was surprised to receive a call from international Christian contemporary singer Michael W. Smith.

Just like the scripture Kerry Jean kept near her, Smith inspired her.

Her favorite scripture is Psalm 50:15 — “What I want from you is your true thanks. I want your promises ful-fi lled. I want you to trust me in your times of trouble so I can rescue you and you can give me glory.”

The scripture kept her going and with that thought she developed a renewed ...

Appreciat ion o f l i fe , health & faith“I still have checkups,” she said. “I still go to the same

doctor’s offi ce, except I am getting to leave after 15 min-utes instead of eight hours.”

She leaves with her hands uplifted in praise.Kerry Jean will take immunosuppressant drugs until

the one-year anniversary of her transplant.Since she was cleared to return to her duties in May,

others have noticed changes in Kerry Jean’s spiritual side. She is stronger physically, mentally and spiritually.

“The biggest change has to be because she has faced death, and faced it as a young woman,” said Ray. “It has deepened her faith.”

Kerry Jean exudes this new focus. “I feel really lucky that I was sick,” she said. “It has

made everything about life so much more meaningful.”As she begins to experience again those taken-for-grant-

ed moments, she savors the taste of chicken, pizza and chocolate and the feel of swimming through water.

It’s not just Kerry Jean who has this re-newed life, it’s Spring-fi eld Friends Meeting.

“Seeing how she has handled and fought the disease has brought us together,” said Ray. “It has caused us to give God a lot of praise and thanks, for healing her and working with her. We have been made aware of how pre-cious life is and how quickly things can change.

“We are aware of how much we need each other and how much we need our faith in God to get us through the diffi cult times, as well as every day.”

FarewellSpringfi eld Friends Meet-

ing will say good-bye to Ker-ry Jean at the 11 a.m. worship service Sunday, July 11.

Study shows that yoga is benefi cial to cancer patientsA national clinical trial with connections to the Charles

E. and Pauline Lewis Hayworth Cancer Center at High Point Regional Health System is a major breakthrough for cancer survivors.

According to a recent clinical trial presented at the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting, prescribing YOCAS® (Yoga for Cancer Survivors) im-proves sleep, fatigue and quality of life for cancer patients.

Twenty-two of the 410 participants enrolled in the study were from High Point Regional.

Two of the most common problems cancer survivors face are sleep and fatigue, and both impact the survivors’ quality of life. The study participants were largely female, with an average age of 54, who reported sleep and fatigue problems after completing chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgical treatment for early-stage cancer. Sleep quality im-

proved 22 percent, fatigue was reduced by 42 percent andan average of six percent reported improvement in qualityof life. The yoga group also reduced the use of sleep medi-cation by 21 percent.

High Point Regional will add a second yoga class forcancer patients beginning July 16. For more informationabout yoga for cancer survivors or other clinical trials be-ing offered at High Point Regional, call 878-6888.

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confu-sion.

Don’t Be Ambivalent

It is natural and even reasonable to sometimes be ambivalent, i.e., to have mixed emotions. We want that second piece of cake, but we know we will feel guilty if we eat it. Most of the time we know the right thing to do, but simply don’t want to do it.

There are, however, times when we should feel ambivalent, since the situation genuinely contains a mix of good and bad elements. But, even then it helps to think through our options, make a decision and act, and not be tormented by the negative consequences. Many difficult decisions are difficult precisely because we know that there will be negative consequences no matter what we do and we can’t always please everyone. So, if we are struggling with a decision, we should weigh the pros and the cons, consider how the decision reflects our values, pray about the decision, and then make the decision with confidence that we did the best that we could with the available information. Don’t let ambivalence paralyze us. Enjoy that first piece of cake, and indeed, savor it. But, we should turn down the second one, and be confident that we are doing the right thing.

Community supports injured fi re recruit

The Archdale-Trinity community turned out to support injured fire

recruit Brandie Lyons at a fundraiser held by Guil-Rand Fire Depatment’s recruit class at the Pizza Inn on Fair-field Road. Firefighters and recruits served as wait staff while community members ate pizza, socialized and, all totaled, raised $1,448.

“The fundraiser went extremely well,” said Capt. Charles Cardwell, Guil-Rand’s training officer. “We were not expecting Brandie to be there, so to say the least it was a pleasant surprise. Her fellow class-mates were speechless when they saw her come through the door.”

Cardwell said he and the recruit class had a great time at the June 29 fundraiser.

“We raised $1,448 and had a good time doing it for a great cause,” he said. “Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Brandie Ly-ons relief fund fundraiser.”

Lyons was injured in an auto-mobile accident June 1 on U.S. 311 between Wall Brothers and Millikan roads. She was airlifted to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and is expected to be discharged to-day (July 8).

Her two children, ages 1 and 4, were not seriously injured.

To help with the medical bills, the fire department set up a relief fund in her name and her fellow recruits or-ganized the fundraiser.

“The fund will remain open for donations,” Cardwell confirmed. “Depending on how things go with Brandie in the coming weeks, we may be doing another fundraiser of some kind.”

Donations to the relief fund will continue to be accepted at the fire department, 10506 S. Main St., and at CommunityOne Bank, 10108 S. Main St.

Brandie returned to the hospital after the fundraiser.

Brandie’s co-workers at Building Blocks for Tiny Tots in Asheboro came out in support, too. Pictured from left are Leslie DeHart, Ashley Mantone with her daughter Hope, daycare owner Kathy Mantone and Jennifer Man-tone.

Brandie’s recruit class was ‘speechless’ to see her arrive at the Pizza Inn fundraiser, said Capt. Charles Cardwell, pictured far right. Also pictured with Brandie, from left, are Brian Shively, Nick Hill and Travis Peeler.

Recruit Thomas Hazelwood serves beverages.

Davis, Redding earn EDC honorsThe Randolph County

Economic Devel-opment Corporation honored two long time leaders of local industry with the 2010 Partners in Progress Award.

JB Davis, recently re-tired president and CEO of Klaussner Furniture Indus-tries, and William H. Red-ding Jr., board chairman of Acme McCrary Corpora-tion, received the award.

The award was cre-ated to recognize those individuals, organizations and groups that make a significant contribution to economic development in Randolph County.

Davis and Redding were described as two extraor-dinary individuals whose leadership and commit-ment have blessed the com-

munity and its people. N.C. Secretary of Com-

merce Keith Crisco said, “They are long term key leaders, courageous and will-ing to tackle tough issues.”

The 25th annual meeting celebrated 25 years of eco-nomic development success resulting in $1,520,854,800 in announced capital invest-ment and 10,152 new jobs from new and expanded in-dustries.

Retiring Board members and officers also were recog-nized — Dale Lambert, re-tiring chairman; Greg Spain-hour, past chairman; Donald Andrews, superintendent of Randolph County Schools; Jorge Lagueruela, president of Trinity Furniture; Larry Small, president of Acme McCrary Corporation; and Lynwood White, vice presi-dent and chief financial offi-cer of Randolph Hospital.
