Stokes County has beenwithout a county managersince Bryan Steen’s depar-ture on Dec. 10 and now, lo-cal residents will lose an-other leading county em-ployee. Stokes CountyHealth Director Josh Swiftis resigning to take a newposition in New HanoverCounty, specifically in thecity of Wilmington, N.C.His last day in Stokes isTuesday, Feb. 1.

Swift has been hired asthe Deputy Health Direc-tor for New Hanover. “It’san advancement eventhough the post is nothealth director,” Swift said,explaining that the depart-ment in Wilmington has220 staff members com-pared to 45 employees inDanbury.

He will not enter thatposition until later in Feb-ruary and plans to takemuch of the month to makethe long move and welcomehis second child into theworld. The baby is due anyday now.

Swift was hired as thehealth director for Stokesin Sept. 2008. “I hate toleave,” he admits. “I reallyenjoyed working here. Thestaff was good, and I’ve en-

joyed everyone I’ve met inthe community.”

These and other rea-sons, including the naturalbeauty of Stokes, Swiftsays, make his departurebittersweet.

But for this young manwith a three-year-old childand another one on theway, the new position is, henotes, an opportunity toadvance his career. It willbring more money into thehousehold, but Swift saysthat is not the primary rea-son he took the position.

“The big reason is theexperience,” Swift states.“I’ll be working for a healthdirector who’s been ahealth director for 30years—at New Hanover for12. I’ll learn from someone

YVEDDI proposes publictransportation rate increaseWill Stokes County go into the van business?By Leslie BrayNews Editor

YVEDDI’s vans are acommon sight aroundStokes County as theytransport local citizens.Some YVEDDI driversstart their routes at 5 a.m.to take patients to medicalappointments such as dial-ysis. The recent economicdistress has brought evenmore requests for publictransportation, especiallyfrom Stokes County’s Se-nior Services and Depart-ment of Social Services.

But with YVEDDI’s re-cent request for a substan-tial rate increase, willtheir vans be part of thiscounty’s future?

This question should beanswered at the Jan. 24meeting of the StokesCounty Board of Commis-sioners when the issue willbe on the action agenda.There has also been dis-cussion about the Countybeginning their own publictransportation business.

YVEDDI, an acronymfor Yadkin Valley Econom-ic Development District,

Inc., has been providingpublic transportation tocounty residents who needhelp for many years, cur-rently at the cost of $1.19per vehicle mile. In mid-December, YVEDDI Trans-portation Director JeffCockerham and YVEDDI’sBoard of Directors’ Chair-man Jack Koontz madeknown the need for a rateincrease effective Feb. 1.The new rate would be$1.45 per mile with a fuelsurcharge that would startat $2.50 per gallon.

The suggestion wasmade by Stokes County of-ficials to decrease the pro-posed increase because theCounty sells fuel to YVED-DI at the County’s cost.Within days, Cockerhambrought to the table a sec-ond option--a proposed in-crease to $1.34 with a fuelsurcharge that would kickin at $1.95 per gallon.

That is what countycommissioners will be pon-dering before taking actionat their next meeting. Theestimated additional cost

Brethren dwelling together in unity. . .MLK March brings a crowd to Walnut CoveBy Leslie BrayNews Editor

“Just seems like thecrowd gets bigger and big-ger every year,” said Chris-tian Awareness Programmember Danny Woods ashe welcomed people to theMLK Jr. service on Mon-day. Indeed the sanctuaryat Rising Star BaptistChurch in the Londoncommunity of Walnut Covewas full. Many of thosepresent had marched tothe church from the CoveMart at the lower end oftown.

Denise Goolsby Lowewas one of the marchers.Behind her on the shuttlevan from the church to themarch site sat her youngson. Lowe says she comesevery year she can, toteach her children aboutDr. Martin Luther King Jr.and what he accomplishedbefore his assassination onApril 4, 1968.

“Because it’s an honorthat someone would do theultimate sacrifice thateveryone would have equalrights,” Lowe commented.“We just look forward tothis every year. . .just tomake it a tradition.”

Lowe noted that for herit’s not about race. “Butyou got to know where youcome from to know whereyou’re going,” she statedwith firm conviction.

Lowe was joined byabout 125 marchers. Theyprayed together in the coldgrayness of Jan. 17 beforebeginning their trek upMain Street in WalnutCove. Traffic was halted inthe northbound lane asmarchers wound their waypast spectators standingoutside of businesses orwaving from vehicles.

Snatches of songs couldbe heard--“Victory IsMine,” “Marching Up to

Zion” and “We Shall Over-come”--from those whomarched in honor andmemory of the man whosebirthday inspired this na-tional holiday on the thirdMonday in January.

By noon, the windblownmarchers joined those al-ready gathered in thesanctuary at Rising Star.Ninety-year-old BettyScales had been theresince 11 a.m., waiting onthe marchers to arrive.The MLK holiday is partic-ularly meaningful to her,because she actually knewDr. King.

“I was in Washingtonwhen he was assassinat-ed,” Scales recalls. She re-members receiving thenews of his death whilesitting at the cash registerwhere she worked at astore owned by a New YorkJew. Scales tells howblacks came into the store,telling the primarily blackwork crew to pack up theirthings and leave so theywould not be hurt whenthey set fire to the store.They were carrying torch-es with fire on the end.

“They just burned thecity down,” Scales recountsthe violence that broke outin the nation’s capitalwhen the beloved blackleader was killed by awhite gunman in Mem-phis, TN. “The police could-n’t control all of ‘em.” Shesays that they didn’t burndown the businessesowned by blacks.

Her anguish over theviolence is still evident al-most 43 years later. Andshe vividly remembers thehorror of hearing of Dr.King’s death. “It justseemed like the wholeworld. . .” Scales paused toshake her head as wordsfailed her. “It was like allour hope was gone--like we

Leaving a legacy through adoptionBy Amanda DodsonContributing Writer

Retirement for somemay mean all day fishingexcursions or travelingaround the world, but forGary Blanks of King, re-tirement looks a little dif-ferent. The 65-year-oldserved in the Air Force for23 years and is now a sin-gle father to three adoptedchildren ages seven, nineand 14.

Blanks and his wifeJody had two sons, butwhen they were grown andmoved out, the Blanks be-gan talking about foster-ing.

“I had some reserva-tions at first, but my wifealways wanted a footballteam of a family,” Blankssaid. Soon after, the couplecontacted the Departmentof Social Services of StokesCounty and enrolled in therequired courses to becomefoster parents.

Months later, they re-ceived a phone call about afive-year-old boy that wasin need of respite care.

“It was a learning expe-rience. We had to figureout how to adjust andreach out to each child we

had. Many had emotionalissues and we wanted tooffer them a normalcy theymay not have ever seen,”Blanks said.

Blanks rememberedopening their doors to twoyoung sisters. The girlswere confused and wantedto know why they weren’twith their parents. Theyoungest was devastatedand completely lost.

“My wife and I knew wewere there to nurture andto love these kids,” Blankssaid. “We couldn’t answerall of their questions, butour job was to make a real-ly difficult situation easi-er.”

Over the years, Blanksand his wife fostered 20children and adopted thelast three that were intheir home. However theirhappy family was struckwith tragedy in Septemberof 2009. Jody, Blanks’ wifeof 41 years, had a massiveheart attack and passedaway at the age of 59.

“We were devastated,”Blanks said, “it was a diffi-cult time for all of us.” Herecalled a moment whenthe kids came to him and

Submitted photoJody Blanks was a foster and adoptive mom who passedaway last year and wrote this: “Every child should have aplace that is safe and inviting. A place where they can letdown their guard and be themselves and know that theyare safe from physical or mental attack. A place wherethey will be accepted nourished emotionally and physical-ly and loved for who they are. A place where they knowthat their well-being is of importance to others. I havelearned that you do not have to be the ‘legal’ parent tomother a child. Some children come into your lives andyou might influence and nurture them for only momentsor days. Others are a part of your life for years. In my ownlife I remember many people who had a nurturing andpositive effect on my life. I only hope that I can help achild to know themselves and appreciate who they are.”

asked if they could stilllive with him. For two ofthe children, the adoptionshad just been finalized.“We’re a family, and noth-ing will ever change that,”he reassured them.

During those first few

grueling months of griefand challenges, Blankswas comforted with thelegacy his wife had left be-hind. Jody’s life and herpassion for fostering hadtouched the lives of notonly children, but manyfoster parents she had en-couraged over the years.

“She loved babies, butshe gave her heart to

every child that came intoher life. She made it apoint to find somethingspecial about each one ofthem. She really under-stood compassion andlove,” Blanks said.

Blanks has continuedthe work he and his wifestarted. He is an advocatefor the fostering communi-ty in Stokes County where

he serves on the board ofthe Stokes County FosterParents Association. Thenetwork of foster familiessupports one anotherthrough training opportu-nities and rallying togeth-er when there is a need fora child or a foster family.

“For Jody and me, fos-tering enriched our livesand our marriage. I be-lieve it made us betterpeople,” Blanks said.

Mary Francis Pulliam,Foster Care Licensing So-cial Worker, said theBlanks never backedaway from the challengesof fostering. “Together asa couple, they were a truepartnership and the typethat went the extra mile.”

Currently StokesCounty has 33 foster par-ents, but would like to seethat number rise to 50 in2011.

“The Blanks were al-

ways realistic when itcame to the children whogo through the foster caresystem. Many people be-lieve that these are badkids, but that’s not thecase at all. We have a re-markable group ofteenagers; a lot of themare honor students. Thesekids today in foster careare going to break the cy-cle,” Pulliam said.

Pulliam is also quick tosay that there are otherways to help foster chil-dren if you don’t feel ledto be a foster parent.

“We need people whoare willing to attend grad-uation this year on behalfof a high school senior.There are a lot of expens-es that come with the12th grade; some peoplecould help offset thosecosts. We’d also like tohave diaper bags on handwith baby items and paja-

mas in them. Anotherthing we need is cameras,even disposable camerasthat will let these chil-dren have a record ofwhere they are in life.These are the things weoften take for granted,”Pulliam said.

More than anything,Pulliam says DSS is look-ing for those who have adesire to be role models toour next generation.They’re looking for thosewho will teach childrenresponsibility and the im-portance of education andgetting a job.

“If we don’t correct theills of our society, it’s go-ing to repeat itself and Idon’t want to see thathappen in Stokes County,”Pulliam said.

of the proposed $1.34 rateincrease, using figuresfrom July 2010-Nov. 2010,would be $24,983.31. Theoriginal higher rate pro-posed by YVEDDIwould’ve resulted in a$28,881.97 additional cost.There is no appropriationfor such an increase in thisyear’s fiscal budget.

However, at the Jan. 10meeting, Stokes CountySupport Services Supervi-sor Danny Stovall gavecommissioners the goodnews that Medicaid is notcapped, meaning that theCounty would be reim-bursed fully for YVEDDIexpenses related to Medic-aid.

Board Chair ErnestLankford asked if YVED-

DI services could continuewithout added taxpayermoney until June 30, theend of this fiscal year. Sto-vall replied yes, due to thereimbursements.

At the Dec. 21 meeting,Lankford had noted someconcerns, namely thatYVEDDI was asking forthe increase in the middleof the budget year andthat the company had giv-en a cost of living al-lowance for the past twoyears when Stokes Countyemployees had not had onein several years.

YVEDDI officials saythat there are two mainreasons for the rate in-crease. One is that thecompany receives no grantfunding and must rely to-tally on user fees. Anotheris that there has been alarge increase in expensesdue to mandated training,

drug testing and back-ground checks, higherworker’s comp. fees, vehi-cle insurance and mainte-nance, and the increasedcost of fuel.

Cockerham argued thatsurrounding counties paya rate comparable to whathas been proposed forStokes. He pointed outthat rates should’ve in-creased already but thatthe previous director didnot tackle that problem.Because of that, YVEDDIis now operating in adeficit situation and wouldhave to park the vanswithout the increase. Theincreased rate would han-dle operating expensesand leave a five percentmargin to put into reserve.

Cockerham said thathis company is looking atmore efficient vehicles andwould take the County’s

suggestions to work withvolunteers drivers and tohelp develop incentives forpassengers to travel to ap-pointments together.

At the Jan. 10 meeting,Stovall presented theBoard with an interestingoption. He told them howAlleghany County startedtheir own public trans-portation system severalyears ago and now has a12-vehicle fleet. He esti-mated that it would takethree to five months to getsuch a business started inStokes.

Commissioner RondaJones commented on theentire situation, “I’m real-ly in no mood to give outany more capital,” addingthat she would really haveto sit back and think onthis.

Vice Chair of the BoardLeon Inman summed up

the situation as he saw it:with Medicaid and Work-First programs being man-dated and thus funded,YVEDDI’s increase would-n’t cost anything now.Plus, he noted, YVEDDIhas agreed to pick up anyabove-budget cost of seniormeals.

Inman therefore ad-vised staying with YVED-DI through June 30, inthe meantime exploringother options, such as oth-er vendors--PART, e.g. Atthe Dec. 21 meeting, ithad been made knownthat a local public trans-portation contractor, JDCruises, provides servicesat $1.32 per mile with afuel surcharge beginningat $3/gallon.

“It’s gonna take a tonof evidence to convinceLeon Inman to go into thevan business,” he warned.

Commissioner JimmyWalker, who also serveson YVEDDI’s Board of Di-rectors and Finance Com-mittee, asked Stovallwhat his recommendationwas.

Stovall recommendedleaving things as they arefor the rest of the fiscalyear but to start lookingat other options quickly.He admitted that it wouldtake huge capital up frontfor staff and equipment ifStokes County startedtheir own van system butpointed out that savingswould be seen later.

The Board plans tovote on the proposed in-crease at their regularmeeting on Monday, Jan.24, at 6 p.m. in theirchambers in the ReaganBuilding in the Govern-ment Complex in Dan-bury.

with lots of experience.”Swift is eager to see how alarger department runs.

Swift looks back withsatisfaction on many of thethings that were accom-plished in Stokes under hisheadship. He cites the banon smoking in countybuildings as one of the ac-complishments he isproudest of.

Another thing that hewill remember fondly isthe many grants that weregarnered in the last twoyears. Swift tells how thehealth department is inthe process right now ofgetting a $130,000 trailerto use for emergencies, fluclinics or other events.

Since he took the posi-tion in 2008, the depart-ment has received over$160,000 for primary carefor uninsured adults. Thismoney was applied at themain clinic in Danbury butalso helped to open the

clinic in King. Getting theKing clinic up and runningis another thing Swift willremember with pride.

Yet he is humble aboutthese accomplishments.“This all didn’t occur be-cause of me, but because ofour staff, the Board ofHealth, the commissionersand others,” Swift acknowl-edges.

He is particularly proudof the health departmentstaff and praises them formany things, especiallyhow they responded duringthe H1N1 bout in the2009-10 flu season. Theygave between 5,000-6,000flu shots—something Swiftpoints out is excellent for acounty the size of Stokes.

“The success we’ve hadas a health departmenthas been the collaborationwith other agencies,” Swiftexplains. He gives the ex-ample of how his depart-ment worked with theschool system in givingvaccinations, as in thespring immunizations forfifth graders.

Another example is thehealth department’s workwith the EMS—how theypartnered with EMS Di-rector Monty Stevens dur-ing the H1N1 scare. Theyalso collaborated with theEMS to get the trailer thatshould be coming soon.

”I think that’s the thingStokes does really well,”Swift praises the county.“We may not have all theresources, but we’re able towork together—not worry-ing about who gets thecredit.”

Dr. Mark A. Johnson,chairman of the StokesCounty Board of Health,praised Swift: “I feel hehas been a real breath offresh air and one of themost knowledgeable, com-petent directors Stokeshas ever had. Getting thesmoking ban passed inpublic buildings was tabooat one time, and he per-sisted with daring in a dif-ficult political environ-ment. But our loss isWilmington's gain. I wishhim God's speed.”

Founded as aChristian nationDear Editor,

Without the promise ofa Bill of Rights, the UnitedStates Constitution maynever have been ratified.There was a fear amongthe citizens of the 13states of a powerful feder-al or national government.The fear of those earlyAmericans has now beenrealized in our time. OurFounding Fathers wouldbe shocked at the sugges-tion that the citizens ofKing not be able to displaythe Christian flag at theveteran’s memorial.

The very fear of localcommunities not beingable to exercise theirrights because of a power-ful federal government isnow upon us. This nationwas founded as a Christ-ian nation. Evidence tothat suggestion would bemore than a simple letterto a newspaper can pro-duce.

But let me suggest someplaces for the readers tostart. To understand wherewe are, read chapter “Con-flict and Compromise in theWest” in Charles Colson’sbook, God & Government.From there read chapters“Freedom’s Heritage” and“Our Republic” in Jerry Fal-well’s book, Listen America!

Continue with the chap-ter “PostChristian America”by Janet and Craig Par-shall in their book, ToughFaith. Proceed to the “Pro-logue” and chapters“Founding a Christian Na-

tion” and “Undermining aNations’s Foundation” byPat Robertson in his book,The Ten Offenses. Then fol-low it up by reading “WasAmerica a Christian Na-tion” by James Dobson onthe Internet.

Should anyone be inter-ested in these details,please e-mail me a requestatjoyceabstokes@yahoo.com.Please identify your re-quest clearly, because I donot open e-mails when Idon’t recognize the sender.

In the Supreme Courtcase Church Of The HolyTrinity v. United States,143 U.S. 457 (1892) afterciting evidence, the Courtstated “. . . that this is aChristian nation.” The TenCommandments can befound in the sitting room ofthe Supreme Court andalso on the doorframes.

In Franklin Graham’sbook, The Name, a state-ment of Patrick Henry isquoted, “It cannot be em-phasized too strongly or toooften that this great nationwas founded, not by reli-gionists, but by Christians;not on religions, but on theGospel of Jesus Christ. Forthis every person of otherfaiths have been affordedasylum, prosperity, andfreedom of worship here” (p.31).

Our Christian heritagesays the citizens of Kinghave every right to fly theChristian flag in the veter-an’s park. It is a dishonor todo otherwise.

Sincerely,

Boyd JoyceSandy Ridge

About half of American workersdidn’t pay any federal income taxeslast year.

Huge agribusinesses got billionsin tax subsidies to turn food intofuel—pushing up the price of foodfor American families. In fact, lastyear’s tax subsidies for turning corninto ethanol reached $6 billion. TheCongressional Budget Office evenestimates that government subsi-dies for ethanol amount to about$1.78 per gallon.

What do these two rather diver-gent facts have to do with each oth-er? Answer: they each point to theneed for fundamental federal taxreform.

Let’s face it. Our tax system is acomplete disaster. It is so byzantinethat only the sharpest tax lawyer orWashington lobbyist can tell youwhat lies beneath the surface.

In true Washington fashion, itgets more complex, more unfair andmore indecipherable with eachpassing year. Congress can’t resisttinkering at the margins, throwingin new provisions or special carveouts and generally adding to theeconomic dead weight that is ourtax code.

The year-end debate over taxrates just serves to illustrate thepoint. There are currently six sepa-rate tax brackets that will all in-crease in 2011 if Congress doesn’tdo something to stop it. Some peo-ple want to increase taxes on somebrackets, others would like to in-crease taxes on all brackets andstill others would like to increasetaxes on no brackets. (You can putme in the not increasing taxes onanyone column.)

This tax debate is rowdy and thedisagreements are sharp. Left un-said is the fact that no matter what

Congress does about these upcom-ing tax increases, we’ll still have anopaque system that is constantlygamed by special interests.

You may wonder what special in-terests have a stake in the currenttax code. The honest answer is al-most all of them. This is why realtax reform is such a herculean task.Thanks to hundreds of exemptions,deductions and carve outs insertedinto the tax code over the past sev-eral decades, almost every interestgroup with a mailing address inWashington, DC will be crowing foranother carve out if Congress setsabout retooling taxes.

The tax code is so bad that Amer-icans waste at least 6.6 billionhours each year working to complywith the IRS requirements. Add tothat the more than $200 billionspent to stay in compliance andkeep the auditors at bay, and youhave a massive drag on the econo-my and economic growth.

So Congress must be bold. Taxreform can’t be a piecemeal sort ofoperation. Step one must be burn-ing the current tax code. Step twomust involve creating a tax systemthat is fair and efficient and thatdoesn’t pick favorites. There areplenty of tax reform options outthere—many of them far, far betterthan what we have now.

The core problem is that our taxsystem is stuffed with needlesslycomplex provisions. These carveouts mean tax rates are artificiallyhigh. The carve outs also end uparbitrarily punishing some taxpay-ers and rewarding others. As amatter of fairness, any tax reformproposal should strip away the lay-ers of tax carve outs and lower thetax rates everyone pays. After all,if you get rid of the special deduc-

tions, you could lower rates withoutseeing tax collections fall.

This kind of reform could looklike a Fair Tax or a flat tax or somesort of hybrid proposal. Ultimatelythe exact type of tax reform shouldbe up for negotiation. The most im-portant thing is to kill off the cur-rent tax code and replace it withsomething straightforward and fairfor everyone.

The result of fundamental taxreform would be immediate anddramatic. America would experi-ence a profound—and real—eco-nomic stimulus. The uncertaintyand ambiguity currently plaguinghundreds of thousands of business-es would virtually evaporate. Thewasted time and money of tax com-pliance would be slashed to a pit-tance. Most importantly, tax rateswould fall—empowering entrepre-neurs to focus on big ideas ratherthan long tax forms and families tofocus on their budgets and not theirtax returns.

If we get tax reform right, wewill spur investment in the peopleand businesses of tomorrow on alevel not possible under the currenttax system. In today’s tough eco-nomic times, we can’t afford NOT toscrap our tax code and start over.

Why we need tax reformFirst step: burn the current tax code

Adult daughters – whotypically serve as homecooks for seniors – arefeeling the heat in thekitchen, according to a re-cent study of family care-givers. The stress is espe-cially high for adult chil-dren who are caring andcooking for someone withseveral nutritional riskfactors.

In response to this is-sue, Home Instead SeniorCare has partnered withnational nutrition expertsfrom the University ofMaryland and Duke Uni-versity Medical Center topromote healthy, stress-free grocery shopping andmeal preparation tips andrecipes for the approxi-mately 4,000 householdsin Stokes County caringfor seniors.

At the center of thispublic education cam-paign is the Cooking Un-der Pressure handbookthat is available freethrough the local HomeInstead Senior Care office.A specially-designed Website, www.foodsforse-niors.com, provides addi-tional information, re-search and resources.

Research recently con-ducted for Home InsteadSenior Care revealed thatproviding care for an olderperson with three or morenutritional risk factors istied to increased stresslevels in family caregivers.Of the caregivers who rat-ed their lives as extremelystressful, 67 percent werecaring for loved ones withthree or more nutritionalrisk factors.

Adult children reportedthe top three nutritionalrisks as:

--Three or more pre-scribed or over-the-count-er drugs per day

--An illness or condi-tion that made the seniorchange his or her diet

--Having lost or gainedmore than 10 pounds inthe past six months with-out trying.

Local senior care ex-pert Shannon Hodge, own-er of the Home Instead Se-

nior Care office servingForsyth and Stokes coun-ties, said that risks associ-ated with conditions suchas medication use and ill-ness can negatively im-pact seniors’ health andindependence as they age.“Good nutrition is, in fact,the first line of defense inhelping to keep seniorshealthy and independent,”she said.

Experts advisestressed-out family care-givers to get organized bycreating a shopping list sotheir seniors regularlyhave healthy ingredients(see the 12 Staples YourSenior Shouldn’t LiveWithout), collect interest-ing recipes and ensuretheir senior has the com-panionship they need toshop for groceries andmake mealtimes enjoy-able.

Hodge added that com-panionship is one ingredi-ent that family caregiversshouldn’t leave out of a se-nior’s meal plan. “So manyseniors are alone or lonely.If you can’t be there toshop for groceries or eatwith loved ones, consider acongregate meal site –such as a senior center –or a companion to help en-courage older adults to de-velop the kind of nutri-tional habits that willkeep them healthy andgive you peace of mind.”

Senior Shopping ListTwelve staples your

senior shouldn’t live with-out

They may seem likecommon staples for anyhealthy diet, but the fol-lowing 12 foods hold spe-cial nutritional value forseniors. These items,from Home Instead SeniorCare, developed in cooper-ation with nutrition ex-perts at the Duke Univer-sity Medical Center andthe University of Mary-

land, are also versatileenough to be used in a va-riety of recipes.

--Oatmeal—A greatsource of soluble fiber, oat-meal has been shown tohelp lower blood choles-terol and may reduce therisk of heart disease andstroke.

--Eggs—With only 75calories per serving, eggscontain 13 essential vita-mins and minerals, in-cluding vitamin D, impor-tant to absorbing calciumneeded for bone strength.Lutein and zeaxanthinfound in egg yolks may re-duce the risk for cataractsand help prevent maculardegeneration.

--Yogurt—Rich in calci-um, yogurt can contributeto the calcium require-ment needed to preventosteoporosis. Good bacte-ria is added to some yo-gurt, which may help peo-ple with digestive prob-lems that often accompa-ny aging. Mixing yogurtwith fortified cereal pro-vides added vitamins, in-cluding vitamin B12,which many seniors havedifficulty absorbing fromfoods that naturally con-tain that vitamin.

--Blueberries—Theseblue beauties are amongthe top fruits and vegeta-bles for antioxidants. Re-search on aging andAlzheimer’s disease re-veals that blueberries mayalso improve memory andcoordination.

--Apples—The benefitsof apples are too numer-ous to name. The pectinin apples supplies galac-turonic acid to the body,which lowers the body'sneed for insulin and mayhelp in the managementof diabetes.

--Fish—Bluefish, mack-erel, salmon, sardines,trout and tuna (bluefinand albacore) are a low-fat, high-protein source ofnutrients. The AmericanHeart Association recom-mends fatty fish twice aweek to improve hearthealth.

--Chicken—Poultry is

an excellent source ofprotein that contains lessfat than most meats.Chicken, especiallybreast meat, containshalf the fat of a steak.Chicken also has niacinand selenium, which pos-sess cancer-fighting prop-erties.

--Broccoli—A goodsource of multiple nutri-ents, including vitaminsK, C, E, B, and calciumand iron, broccoli hasbeen found to protectagainst cancer, heart dis-ease, stroke and maculardegeneration.

--Soy (Edamame)—Nutritionists recommendconsuming up to oneserving a day of soy as areplacement for foodshigh in saturated fats.Some studies have shownthat soy improves bonehealth. Be sure to consultyour doctor before addingsoy to a senior’s diet.

--Sweet Potatoes andSquash—Sweet potatoesprovide beta caroteneand vitamins C and E, allof which promote healthyskin, hair and eyesight.Squash is a good sourceof beta carotene and vita-min C.

--Rice—As a complexcarbohydrate, rice digestsslowly, allowing the bodyto utilize the energy re-leased over a longer peri-od, which is nutritionallyefficient. Rice has lowsodium content and con-tains useful quantities ofpotassium, the B vita-mins, thiamin and niacin.Rice contains only a traceof fat, no cholesterol andis gluten free, so it’s suit-able for people with celi-ac disease.

--Dark Chocolate—Consumed in moderation,this high-calorie, high-fatfood has been found toboost HDL cholesterol(known as good choles-terol) and lower bloodpressure.

Please note: Alwaysconsult a doctor beforebeginning any diet or nu-trition program.

Make your healthclub work out for youBy Attorney General Roy Coop-er

North Carolina fami-lies celebrated the holi-days in different ways,but one thing most cele-brations had in commonwas plenty of good food.As a result, it’s no sur-prise that many peopleresolve to lose weightand get in shape in theNew Year.

If your New Year’s res-olutions have you think-ing about joining a gym,do your homework first.My office hears fromhundreds of consumersevery year who are un-happy with their healthclub or see it shut downunexpectedly. For exam-ple, hundreds of con-sumers contacted my of-fice after several PeakFitness clubs closed theirdoors. State law requiresthat most health clubsmaintain a bond, so wewere able to help many ofthose consumers getsome money back.

To help avoid prob-lems from the start, hereare some things to con-sider when you check outa health club:

· Compare facilitiesand prices at severalhealth clubs.

Shop around for thebest value which may ormay not be the least ex-pensive club. For exam-ple, some clubs with lowmonthly fees require longmembership periods.Know what you can af-ford to pay and stick to

your budget no matterwhat incentives the salesagent offers. Don’t beafraid to bargain. Youcan also check with myConsumer Protection Di-vision by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM to see if thereare any complaintsagainst the clubs you’reconsidering.

· Take a tour andcheck out the staff.

Visit at the time ofday you’re most likely toexercise to see if theequipment you want touse will be availablewhen you need it. Makesure the club is clean andwell maintained, andlook for friendly andknowledgeable staff withthe appropriate educa-tional background andcertifications. Some facil-ities have a staff membertrained in Pulmonary Re-suscitation on-site at alltimes, and some offerchild care facilities. Lookfor a health club with theright combination of loca-tion, facilities and re-sources to meet yourneeds.

· Take a test drive.Ask if the health club

allows free trial work-outs so that you can seehow you like it before yousign up. This will alsogive you the chance toask current membersabout the facility. Bewareof signing up with a clubthat hasn’t opened itsdoors, no matter howgood the offer sounds.

Tearing Down and Building Up—-by Jerry Pence

“See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, toroot out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and toplant” (Jeremiah 1:10).

There is so much religious confusion and division in this world today thatevery moment could be spent in opposition to false systems, schemes, anddoctrines. However, in the pursuit of an eternal home with God we mustplace our emphasis on the search for truth and righteousness.

When the pioneers crossed this country in the nineteenth century, they had to spend long hoursin “pulling down and rooting up.” However, if that was all they did, the land from the MississippiRiver to the Pacific Ocean would be no more than leveled wasteland. But each time they clearedland, they planted, sowed, and built a great nation “from sea to shining sea.”

Likewise, if we are to serve God as he would have us to, and if we are to grow as he would haveus to grow, we need to cast out human creeds and reasonings and every high thing that exalts itselfagainst God. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). As in the days of Nehemiah, we all need to focus on doingGod’s will and not on what we think is right. “And it came to pass that from that time forth, thatthe half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, theshields, and the bows...and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. They which builded onthe wall, and they that laded, everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with theother hand held a weapon. For the builders, everyone had his sword girded by his side, and sobuilded” (Nehemiah 4:16-18). Come worship with us and let us work together to do God’s willaccording to His Word.

Jerry is the minister for the South Stokes Church of Christ. 1223 S. Old 52 Rd., PO Box 483,King, NC 27021, 336-969-5498, jerrypence@rocketmail.com, http://www.southstokeschurch.org

A Spoonful of Sugar---by Jerry Pence

The movie "Mary Poppins” was a about having a positive outlook on life and encour-aging others to do the same. In the movie Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) sang a song en-titled "A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down”. In Proverbs 17:22, Solomongave a similar message when he said, "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a bro-ken spirit dries the bones".

Throughout God’s word we find that a positive attitude will have a profound effecton our minds. On the other hand "a broken spirit" will produce a negative effect. A posi-

tive attitude can be nurtured by refusing to dwell upon problems which are beyond our control. Job said, "If I say, Iwill forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile" (Job 9:27). This does not mean that weshould ignore sin in our lives, for dealing with the guilt of sin is within our control (Acts 22:16). Appropriatelydealing with personal sin is "... the answer of a good conscience toward God" (1 Peter 3:20-21),

Unresolved sin is often a prime reason for “a broken spirit”. When sin is dealt with Biblically (Acts 8:30-39;8:18-22; 1 John 1:9), the Christian can go on his way rejoicing and forgetting those things which are behind(Philippians 3:13-14). He is then free to meditate upon "...whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, ifthere is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things" (Philippians 4:8).

Our state of mind has much to do with our personal choices, which in turn affects our lives for better or forworse. Having a positive outlook on life is often as simple as choosing to refuse to allow evil to rule our lives. Forexample, "A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledgerightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness" (Prov. 15:1-2). Please come worship with us at SouthStokes this Sunday and study more about have living life with "Spoonful of Sugar".

had nothing to look for-ward to. These memorieswill be with me all mylife.”

But the sign at thefront of the church--putthere in 2008 when Presi-dent Obama was elected--spoke of the renewed hopefelt by many AfricanAmericans: “The dreamfulfilled. HOPE.”

That hope was almosttangible in the post-marchservice as joyful voicesrang out with “Lift EveryVoice and Sing.” YoungBobby Lash set the tone ashe read the Scripture ofthe day, Psalm 133:1: “Be-hold, how good and howpleasant it is for brethrento dwell together in unity!”

That same tone was ex-emplified in the theme ofthe annual CAP essay con-test: “Can’t We All JustGet Along?” CAP Chair-man Charles Welch recog-nized twins Alex and An-thony Dixon as the firstand second place winnersrespectively in the 9-13-year-old category.

In Alex’s essay whichhe read to those gathered,the theme of love wasprominent. “We shouldlove our enemies andneighbors even thoughthey might not love us,”Alex said. “It all startswith us. . .When a personhates, it takes over them. ..what is beautiful turnsugly. . .Love has such apower that it changes aperson’s heart. . .theirmind.”

Jordan Hairston’s win-

ning essay in the 13-18age division also touchedon love and unity, oftenquoting Dr. King: “Wemust all live together asbrothers or perish togetheras fools. . .Peace is notmerely a distant goal thatwe seek, but a means bywhich we arrive at thatgoal. . .With love, we canunite the whole world andbring change.”

The second place win-ner in the older age brack-et was Keisha Harper, whowas recognized along withall of the other essay con-test participants.

In the service therewere interpretive danceroutines by “Redemption”--a mime-like group ofyoung women from Life inChrist in Winston-Salemand selections by the Wal-nut Cove CommunityChoir. Then came theguest speaker, WalnutCove native David Kirk-land.

Kirkland, a 1987 SouthStokes High School gradu-ate, received his BS in Ele-mentary Education fromUNCG. He has beenteaching and coachingever since and is now aNorth Carolina PrincipalFellow at UNC-ChapelHill, preparing to becomea principal next year.

Kirkland gave an inspi-rational speech, exhortingthose present to strive tobe all that they can be. Hesays that there is a wordhe doesn’t allow in hisclassroom--“can’t.”

Kirkland told theyoung people, “You can beand do anything that youwant. . .Nobody’s gonnaLET you do it; you gotta

DO it.”Before he closed, the

longtime educator issuedchallenges to those pres-ent: speak kindly; supporteach other; volunteer inthe community; be an ex-ample of a good student,citizen, neighbor; [par-ents] be involved in chil-dren’s education; and[church] organize academ-ic programs for the youth.

“Let’s be better togeth-er,” Kirkland concluded.

Rev. Greg Hairston, thepastor of Rising Star,

closed out the program byencouraging the crowd tocontinue to fight for free-dom and equality as Dr.King did: “We need to takeback what has been takenfrom us. . .We still have along way to go.”

Rev. Hairston chargedthe audience with thesepenetrating words: “Don’tlet this day go aside andyou forget what was said. ..Remember that themarch doesn’t stop today.The march continues to goon!”

your contract.Take the contract

home and read it careful-ly before you sign. Makesure you understand thecancellation policy, theservices included, andthe total cost. Stay awayfrom clubs that pressureyou to sign on the spot.Be certain that every-thing you’ve been prom-ised is included in the fi-nal written version ofyour contract. If you signup, don’t leave the clubwithout a copy of yoursigned contract. Considera short-term contract soyou don’t get stuck witha membership you don’tuse. Under state law, ahealth club contract can-not be longer than threeyears.

· Ask about club trans-fers

Find out what wouldhappen if the club closes.The law allows clubs totransfer members to an-other club up to eightmiles away in certain cir-cumstances. Considerasking the health club toremove that provisionfrom your contract andagree instead to cancelyour membership if theclub closes before yourcontract expires. If theclub agrees to this, makesure it’s written in yourcontract and signed by aclub representative.

And once you’ve joineda gym, keep the followingimportant information inmind:

· Remember your right

to cancel.Under North Carolina

law, you can cancel yourcontract within threedays of signing it. Mostclubs require you to can-cel in writing, so pay par-ticular attention to thepart of the contract thatspells out how you musttell the club if you decideto cancel. It’s best to sendyour three-day cancella-tion notice via certifiedmail so that you haveproof of when it was sentand received.

· Watch out for auto-matic renewals.

Every Saturday morn-ing and Sunday afternoonof basketball season, par-ents, grandparents, sib-lings and all those who en-joy the great game of bas-ketball squeeze into theLondon Elementary gymto cheer on their team inthe Walnut Cove YouthBasketball league. Fans ofeach team sit side by sideon one half of the roomwhile the coaches andplayers make up the other.

The scene is typical--theconcessions well-stockedwith snacks and drinks;the observers of the gamediscussing great plays, ar-guing over calls andyelling words of encour-agement or advice to thoseon the court; and the ath-letes geared up in theirspecial sneakers, with wa-ter or favorite flavor ofGatorade nearby andfighting tooth and nail forpossession of that rubber

ball.But some remember a

time when local youthplaying league basketballmeant traveling to King,Madison or even Winston-Salem, since there was noWalnut Cove Youth Bas-ketball League at thetime.

In around 1997, WalnutCove resident, RandyRichardson, was travelingback and forth to Madisonfor his son to play ball.Randy, Jason Clary, MartyMitchell, Randy Marsh,Tiny Brown, Lynn andMelanie Lewis, Jeff Wattsand others began to talkabout starting up a localleague. Richardson wentto principals at both Lon-don Elementary and Wal-nut Cove Elementaryseeking approval, and soonthings got under way. Thegoal was to give every kidin the community an equalopportunity to play bas-ketball.

"There was nowhere forthe kids to play," Richard-

son stated.At the time, the Stokes

County youth basketballleague was only offered tofifth and sixth graders. Sothe WCYB started withgrades kindergartenthrough sixth grade, in aneffort to create fundamen-tally sound players at anearly age. The idea wasmet with great success,registering approximately

90-100 players the firstyear.

The K-fourth gradewould play at WalnutCove Elementary, due toshorter goals, and thefifth and sixth graderswould play at London.Eventually the leaguebought goals that wouldroll down (which were do-nated to London Elemen-tary) and all games were

moved to the London gym.Current WCYB presi-

dent, Jason Clary, who wasthere from the beginning,didn't have kids oldenough to play at the timethe league was created.But for him it was aboutworking with the kidswhile they're young, in or-der to instill the basic fun-damentals in them.

"Give me any day a

group of five fundamental-ly sound players ratherthan superstars," saysClary. It was also aboutgiving every kid a chanceto play. "For some it maybe their only opportunity.We don't turn anybodyaway. . .It's good for thecommunity. And it giveskids something to do inthe winter."

Lest Stokes County forgets, last year—being, ofcourse, the millennium’s tenth—was as exciting (so faras local sports are concerned) as any in recent memory.So, without further ado, here are The Stokes News’ fivemost noteworthy sports stories of 2010.

5…The Carolina Educators. We shan’t forget Marchof last year, in which notorious baseball man BobbySmith extended the joy of competitive baseball to localteens by establishing the Carolina Educators home-school baseball team.

4…Nail retires. In his thirteen-year tenure as SouthStokes’ varsity baseball coach, Gary Nail amassedthree state championships, those coming consecutivelyfrom 2002 to 2004. He chose to finally shelf the reign inMay, but his resume speaks for itself, and the prece-dent has been set.

3…Nickell and Martin reach tops of respectiveheaps. By establishing themselves as THE top-ranked1A/2A/3A North Carolina athletes in pole vaulting andshot put, Sean Nickell and Shandellah Martin, respec-tively, shoved North Stokes High School into promi-nence in a manner not seen since North contended fora state basketball title in 2006.

Coach Gary Nail retired from South Stokes as baseball coach that had coached teamsthat won three straight national titles. Coach Bobby Smith speaks with players of the newly formed Carolina Educators.

From Heartland Publications News Service

The Surry Central Golden Eagleshosted South Stokes Friday night in agame that started after 7 p.m.

On Friday, the Eagles held their ownin the first half against the Sauras, butSouth Stokes exploded for 25 points inthe third quarter on the way to a 63-45win.

Ethan Wilmoth (10) and BradleyLewis (7) scored all but two of theteam’s 19 first-half points. The Eaglesled 14-12, but wing guard Cole Greeneand lanky center Nick Adams com-bined for six straight points. A Greenebasket in the final minute gave theSauras a 22-19 halftime lead.

Greene hit a couple of big threes inthe third quarter and made severalfree throws in the fourth quarter to

finish with 19. Adams also had 19, in-cluding eight in the first quarter onquick post moves and putbacks. JoshWright added 14, and Jaron Withershad eight.

For Surry Central, Wilmoth finishedwith 21 points, including passing the1,000-point mark with 2:16 left in thefirst half. Lewis had 12, Gabe Leftwichand Jacob Hammond three each, andHunter Smith, Simeon Bracken andZach Wilmoth had two each.

The Eagles just didn’t have the effortand energy they normally bring, saidassistant coach Myles Wilmoth. Theplayers were beaten off the dribble anddidn’t have fast enough rotation fromthe backside. The defense also didn’tclose out quickly enough to challengeoutside shots, he said.

Sauras clip Golden Eagles in 63-45 winIn North America, col-

lege football teams com-pete in a series of post-season games called"bowls." The term has be-come synonymous withpost-regular season col-lege football. Many maywonder where the term"bowl" originated andother interesting factsabout football bowls.

Football's bowls can betraced back to the early1920s, when the colle-giate football postseasonwould be one game. In1923, the postseasongame was moved to theRose Bowl in Pasadena,California. It wasn't until10 years later that anoth-er large postseason gamewas held, this time in Mi-

ami, Florida. In order tocapitalize on the popular-ity of the Rose Bowl, theMiami organizers calledtheir game the OrangeBowl. Since then, numer-ous bowl games are heldannually all over thecountry.

Prior to 2002, bowlgames were not includedin a player's season-longstatistics. Today there are35 bowl games played bycollegiate teams, andeven a rather popular onein the National FootballLeague for professionals.The Super Bowl is one ofthe world's most popularsporting events and de-termines the NFL cham-pion each year.

Other bowl games are

not part of the postsea-son, but simply aregames that promote therivalry between two op-posing teams. These in-clude the Egg Bowl, IronBowl and Steel Bowl,among others.

Across North America,bowl games are very pop-ular. Canadians also getin on the action. Canadi-an Interuniversity Sport(CIS) plays two semi-fi-nal "bowl" games, includ-ing the Uteck Bowl,played by the Atlantic Di-vision Champion and thechampion from anotherdivision. The MitchellBowl is played at thewesternmost team's ven-ue participating in thesemifinals.

After a few years a con-cession stand was started,and the league grewstronger, registering an av-erage of 100-175 kidsevery season. Soon ath-letes from other cities tookup interest; this year's ath-letes included a playerfrom Stokesdale. Pine Hallsought to join the leaguearound three years ago,holding their own prac-tices and recently bringingalong a cheerleadingsquad, all of whom get tro-phies along with the play-ers at the annual banquetheld at the end of the bas-ketball season.

But soon the seventhand eighth graders beganto feel left out. So approxi-mately five years ago, theleague was opened tothem. Due to the overflowof teams, the older agegroups were moved toSundays, which started todraw larger crowds.

The first year of seventhand eighth graders includ-ed the first all-girls team,which was coached by Bob-by Smith. The talk of thetown, these girls weretough, daring any boys’team to stand in their way."They were under theradar at first, but then af-ter they won two or threegames nobody wanted toplay them," Clary recalls.

Another great momentClary recalled was a firstand second graders gamein around 2000 or 2001that went into triple over-time! "[Basketball] is hardwork. You gotta love thegame. If it was easy, every-one would do it," he stated.

He also spoke aboutmaking it fun for the kids."And you gotta be positivefrom day one. It's notabout winning or losing,"Clary said. But the great-est satisfaction Clary has

is seeing the camaraderie."Seeing them still line upand shake hands after thegame, being competitive,but still being friends afterthe game. You can competewith your friends and stillbe friends," he went on tosay.

This season the leaguehad 164 players sign up,featuring six games onSaturdays and threegames on Sundays. Howmany of these 164 athletesare future stars? "You cantell at an early age whohas potential," Clary re-marked.

Think of some countystars who grew up playingfor WCYBL: Jodie Lemons,a standout athlete forNorth Stokes; KaylaMitchell who went on toshine for both SouthStokes and West Stokes;Cole Greene for SouthStokes who recently scoredhis 1,000th career point;and many others.

Clary asked, "Wherewould these kids be nowwithout this league? Wemight've taught them athing or two. It had tomake 'em better."

Mary Lou Greene, moth-er of Cole Greene, givesrecognition to the coaches:"Cole played for somegreat coaches . . . I wouldhave to say that might bethe most important thinghe got from playing there -these coaches taught himthe fundamentals startingat age five, helped him de-velop as a player and alsohelped instill the love ofthe game."

After over 10 years, theWalnut Cove Youth Bas-ketball league is still goingstrong, thanks to the dedi-cation of all the coaches,the enthusiasm of all theathletes, the encourage-ment of the parents, andall those who come out andsupport it.

YOUTHContinued from page B1

Thousands of children participatein some sort of organized sport,whether it is school-related or on anindependent team. Kids as young as4 are now playing organized soccerand baseball. However, with thepressure to succeed put on childrenso early, there are many people whowonder if the benefits of youthsports participation outweigh thenegative aspects.

Consider these myths and revela-tions:

Myth: My child should play sports-- and begin early -- because he orshe could eventually earn a collegescholarship.

Fact: According to research by theNational Center for EducationalStatistics, fewer than 1 percent ofthe kids participating in organizedsports today will be good enough toland a college scholarship. There arevery few young athletes who will goon to be the Tiger Woods, DavidBeckham, Michael Jordan, andVenus Williams of the future.Putting stock in youth sports simplyfor the fame or fortune it may bringis being short-sighted and frivolous,say experts.

Myth: Winning is important, andit's good to teach kids early on tostrive for success.

Fact: Various studies show that 73

percent of kids quit their childhoodsport by age 13 because it ceases tobe fun. Pressure from coaches andparents simply doesn't make itworthwhile for kids to play any fur-ther. Children should be encouragedto play for the fun of it, and not forthe potential trophies and medalsthey could win.

Myth: Youth sports is all for thebenefit of the children.

Fact: Research conducted by theNational Alliance for Youth Sportshas found that one-quarter of adultshave witnessed a physical confronta-tion involving coaches, officials orparents at a youth sports practice orgame. If sports participation were allabout the kids, why would adultsfind themselves in such an uproarabout rulings and what's going on inthe field or on the court?

With these clarifications in mind,parents, coaches and caregivers needto discover how to make sports funagain for children and motivatethem in positive ways. Here aresome of the better-known benefits ofsports participation:

* learning to play collectively witha team

* physical exercise* problem-solving and forming

strategies* social interaction

* stress release* overcoming challenges through

practice/discovering personalstrengths

A child should never be forced toparticipate in a sport, but encour-aged if this type of activity seemslike the right fit for him or her. If achild does decide to participate, mo-tivation should not come from adultsin the way of undue pressure, belit-tling or physical confrontation. Posi-tive reinforcement does wonders.Compliment the child when he orshe has done well, but don't punishwhen the reverse happens.

If a child is not connecting with aparticular sport, enable him or herto choose the activity that may be abetter fit. It's only through experi-mentation and practice that somechildren find the right activity orteam for them -- and it may not bethe game their parent played whilein school.

Parents should regularly attendgames and practices to see how play-er-coach interaction unfolds. Physi-cal or verbal altercations should notbe tolerated and do not motivateplayers in a positive way.

By making changes to the wayadults view youth sports, there is thegreater likelihood for children to en-joy themselves for the love of thegame.

Preparations for the commem-oration of the Sesquicentennialof the Civil War are underwaywith 150 programs, educationalsymposia and re-enactments al-ready scheduled by the N.C. De-partment of Cultural Resourceswww.ncculture.com. For the pastyear a team of Cultural Re-sources staff, operating with anexperts’ advisory panel of lead-ing historians, has plannedevents, lectures, exhibits and in-formational resources for com-memoration of the 150th an-niversary of the Civil War.

Activities for lifelong learners,travelers, teachers and schoolchildren will feature the theme“North Carolina and the CivilWar: Freedom, Sacrifice, Memo-ry.”

News and information areavailable at www.nccivil-war150.com. A logo, designed bythe Department of Cultural Re-sources, presents that themeagainst a sunburst image, basedon the button worn by NorthCarolina soldiers, 1861-1865.

North Carolina’s planningcomes as a similar national ef-fort is underway. Several otherstates have established commis-sions or other boards to markthe anniversary. Keith Hardison,Director of the Division of StateHistoric Sites and Properties,and Michael Hill, ResearchBranch Supervisor, co-chair theNorth Carolina group.

In establishing the committeeof researchers, archaeologists, li-brarians, preservationists, edu-

cators, exhibit designers and cu-rators, Dr. Jeffrey J. Crow,Deputy Secretary of the N.C. Of-fice of Archives and History, not-ed that the Department has longheld a commitment to projectsassociated with the Civil Warand that, during the anniver-sary, those efforts will intensify.

“We anticipate that interest inthe Civil War will draw tens ofthousands of travelers to NorthCarolina,” Crow said. “Becausecultural and heritage touristsstay longer and spend more thantypical travelers, the Sesquicen-tennial will provide an economicboost. The Civil War was themost critical moment in the na-tion’s history. Understanding theconflict’s effect on the life of thenation, its institutions, and itspeople remains as important to-day as it did 150 years ago.” TheBattle of Bentonville 145th re-enactment held in April 2010drew 50,000 visitors to the John-ston County location, for exam-ple.

The group will develop and ex-ecute a multiyear program ofstate-sponsored activities tocommemorate, in an appropriateand historically accurate man-ner, the richness, diversity andsignificance of the state’s partici-pation in and contributions tothe American Civil War. Accord-ingly, the objective is to extendto North Carolinians and travel-ers an understanding of the com-plexity of the issues surroundingthe war and to transform the in-terpretation of the events for anew generation, via a layered

and interdisciplinary approach.An ambitious three-part series

of symposia is planned, with thefirst dedicated to “memory” tak-ing place at the N.C. Museum ofHistory in Raleigh on May 20,2011. Following that, keepingwith the theme, panels will beheld at Wake Forest Universityin 2013 (timed to coincide withthe anniversary of the Emanci-pation Proclamation) around thetopic of “freedom,” and in Wilm-ington in 2015 on the topic of“sacrifice.” Calls for papers willbe forthcoming.

The NCCivilWar150 Web sitewww.nccivilwar150.com offers aconcise overview with maps,graphics, an event calendar, digi-tal records and text about NorthCarolina’s Civil War experience.It contains a timeline of the hun-dreds of military expeditions, af-fairs, skirmishes, actions, en-gagements, battles and otherevents that occurred in the OldNorth State during the war. Im-ages of monuments from acrossNorth Carolina and a map fea-ture illustrate where the monu-ments are located. StateArchives will showcase relevantdocuments, such as letters re-garding possible secession, thatare gathered from its collectionof more than 100 million maps,letters, and documents. Informa-tive essays discuss North Caroli-na on the home front, slaveryand the African American expe-rience, reconstruction and othertopics.

The Division of State Historic

Sites and Propertieshttp://www.nchistoricsites.org istaking the lead with a new com-prehensive education initiativerelated to the war. Thirteen ofthe 27 historic sites will partici-pate, including such non-tradi-tional Civil War sites as HistoricEdenton, Somerset Place,Stagville, Tryon Palace andRoanoke Island Festival Park.Sites will create a permanentaddition to their grounds andhighlight the North Carolina ex-perience through programs de-signed to help fourth- andeighth-grade students meet edu-cation standards. Each site alsowill have an individual programthat is site specific. In prepara-tion, a teacher workshop for re-newal credits was held this pastsummer.

Exhibits will appear on arange of topics such as a CivilWar transportation exhibit atthe N.C. Transportation Muse-um in Spencer in 2011, and anexhibit at the Museum of theAlbemarle on the capture of theport towns on the AlbemarleSound, the rivers, canals andwaterways.

Archaeological work will beundertaken at selected locationsincluding Ft. Fisher and Ft. An-derson/Brunswick Town. Statearchivists will hold quarterlytalks, and the genealogy staffwill offer tips on “tracing yourroots.” The N.C. Museum of His-tory will build upon previous ex-hibits and highlight aspects ofthe war over the course of theanniversary period.

The Historical PublicationsOffice will initiate new publica-tions related to the war and willperform a series of reprints, inaddition to continuing work onvolumes in the troops roster se-ries http://nc-historical-publica-tions.stores.yahoo.net. A high-light is the new publication“Worthy of Record: The Civil Warand Reconstruction Diaries ofColumbus Lafayette Turner,”about an Iredell County nativewho spent time in two Unionprison camps and later waselected to the General Assemblyduring Reconstruction.

Presently in development as acollaborative effort with the Uni-versity of North Carolina Pressis a North Carolina Civil War at-las, a project conceived by map-maker and research historianMark A. Moore.

The advisory committee of thestate’s leading Civil War histori-ans is guiding development andexecution of programming.Members include Mark Bradleyof the U.S. Army War College,Paul Escott of Wake Forest Uni-versity, Chris Fonvielle of theUniversity of North Carolina atWilmington, Joseph Glatthaar ofUNC-Chapel Hill, Susanna Leeof N.C. State University, FreddieParker of N.C. Central Universi-ty, John David Smith of UNC-Charlotte and Richard Starnesof Western Carolina University.

Civil War Sesquicentennial planning

Consumer demand for locally pro-duced foods is encouraging more farm-ers to produce pasture-raised meat andpoultry.

This is according to NC Choices, aCenter for Environmental Farming Sys-tem initiative that promotes sustain-able food systems through the advance-ment of local, pasture-based animalproduction, processing and marketing.

NC Choices points to the increase inthe number of farmers it works with—45—up from 10 when the initiativelaunched in 2005—as well as the num-ber of farmers who are licensed to sellmeat directly to consumers.

“Today, there are more than 330 meatproducers selling directly to con-sumers,” said Casey McKissick, coordi-nator for NC Choices. “This is a three-fold increase over the past six years; themarket for local foods is strong andgrowing stronger.”

Sales in natural and organic meat,which represent approximately two per-cent of total red meat sales, are forecastto increase at an annual rate of 11.3percent through 2012, a much greater

rate than total red meat sales sold, ac-cording to research by Mintel, an inde-pendent market research provider.

In response to the increase in partici-pating farmer and consumer interest,NC Choices recently revamped its web-site http://www.ncchoices.com to pro-vide updated farmer profiles and con-tact information for pasture-based meatproducers throughout North Carolina.It also spotlights N.C. Department ofAgriculture& Consumer Services andU.S. Department of Agriculture meat-processing facilities, contains an em-bedded Google map that enables theuser to search geographically for pro-ducers or processors and hosts a calen-dar of educational workshops andevents focused on local, pasture-basedmeat production and marketing.

NC Choices is committed to support-ing farmers and consumers through ed-ucation and outreach.

A new program an-nounced recently will freeup to $800 million in cap-ital for North Carolina'ssmall businesses over thenext two years.

The North CarolinaCapital Access Programwill support loan loss re-serves that allow banksand other qualified finan-cial institutions to makebusiness loans that oth-erwise fall just outside oftheir normal underwrit-ing standards.

The program is madepossible by the StateSmall Business CreditInitiative, part of the fed-eral Small Business JobsAct of 2010. PresidentObama signed the billinto law in September.Gov. Beverly Perdue des-ignated the N.C. RuralEconomic DevelopmentCenter to administer$46.1 million that NorthCarolina will receive un-der the initiative.

"In all my conversa-tions with small businessleaders across North Car-olina, I've heard commonconcerns," Perdue said."They can't grow or putpeople back to work untilthey have access to cred-

it. I applaud Congress foraddressing this issue,and I'm pleased to reportthat North Carolinastands ready to get themoney moving from themoment it arrives."

Larry Barbour, CEO ofNorth State Bank andchair of the North Caroli-na Bankers Association,called the program "themost significant step yetto bring statewide scaleto our collective efforts tore-fuel the engine of jobcreation - our state'ssmall businesses."

All businesses locatedin North Carolina with500 or fewer employeesare eligible for loans un-der the program. Themaximum loan amount is$5 million. Loans may beused to finance the acqui-sition of land, construc-tion or renovation ofbuildings, purchase ofequipment and workingcapital.

The Rural Center oper-ated a previous version ofthe Capital Access Pro-gram from 1994 to 2008.During that period, 1,850loans allowed business tocreate or retain morethan 27,000 jobs, said

Rural Center PresidentBilly Ray Hall.

"We took $3.6 millionin loan loss reserves and,with the help of thestate's banking communi-ty, turned it into $103million in businessloans," Hall said. "That'sa leverage ratio of betterthan 1 to 28."

The program is expect-ed to begin operation inearly 2011. Businessowners will apply forloans through a local par-ticipating institution.The individual lenderswill be responsible for ap-proving loans and settingterms, including a loanloss reserve fee to beshared by the lender andborrower. The Capital Ac-cess Program will thenmatch the loan loss re-serve fee.

Federally insuredbanks and credit unions,and community develop-ment financial institu-tions are eligible to par-ticipate in the program.The Rural Center willhold workshops aroundthe state for interestedlenders starting in earlyJanuary.
