BY KATHY STUART According to an accident report from Archdale police, the youth was attempting to cross from 229 Liberty Road at Archdale Holiness Church of God about 2:53 p.m., pos- sibly to visit a friend who lived across the street, said a witness. A vehicle traveling west struck the youth on the left leg. “He went up into the air,” said Brenda Corders of Liberty, who stopped to help the boy. “He jumped up and picked up his left leg, which gave way.” She supported his neck while a passenger in her vehicle called 911. He was transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. As of last Thursday, he was listed in good condition. The driver of the vehicle which hit the youth was not charged. In the fatal accident near Liberty Road Apartments, a youth, hidden from view by a passing truck, attempted to cross. The vehicle hit the boy, who was knocked to the ground and became tangled up underneath the vehicle. The boy was dragged for several feet before the driver stopped. Another fatal accident occurred about 15 years ago on Halloween night when a youth on a bicycle was struck near Brookwood Apartments. With increased traffic since the fatal accidents, pedestri- ans on N.C. 62 should be cautious, warned Archdale Chief of Police Darrell Gibbs. As of 2007, the traffic count was about 6,700 between Main Street and Brookwood Apartments. The road lacks sidewalks and pedestrians often have to walk on the roadway because the narrow shoulders drop into a ditch. Officers sometimes stop pedestrians to make them aware of the dangers, said Gibbs.

N.C. 62 dangerous

for pedestriansPedestrians on N.C. 62 walk at risk on the highly

traveled road. A 13-year-old was seriously injured March 23 near the same site another youth was killed more than 10 years ago.

According to an accident report from Archdale police, the youth was attempting to cross from 229 Liberty Road at Archdale Holiness Church of God about 2:53 p.m., pos-sibly to visit a friend who lived across the street, said a

witness. A vehicle traveling west struck the youth on the left leg.

Submit letters to the editor at the above address. Please include a local ad-dress and telephone number.

Sen. Kay Hagan disappointed with bickering. Well, doesn’t that head-

line just say it all!With all this talk about health-care re-

form, I decided to do my own research. In a newspaper article, Sen. Hagan said she was disappointed about health care bickering and that it could be easily be solved if rep-resentatives would spend more time in D.C. and less time in their home states.

Apparently she wants less time here in North Carolina.

In an e-mail to Hagan, I wrote that I don’t want more Washington infl uence here at home, I want less.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, H.R. 3590, is a fi scally respon-sible plan that will reduce the defi cit by nearly $132 billion in the next 10 years,” her e-mail reply stated. She wrote nothing about the cost, $848 billion over the next 10 years, which will be offset by new taxes and revenues.

Hagan reiterated that the cost of mal-practice insurance would save money, that no rationing of health care would occur, and I should go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ for a better understanding of the facts.

Well how about that! All this time I thought that we were still under a represen-tative government!

The majority of North Carolinians never backed this bill and the facts were never dis-

closed. Many representatives voted for this bill without reading it, because the bill was held back in Congress. I called and talked with Rep. Howard Coble, Sen. Richard Burr, as well as others in Congress and all said that this was a bad bill! Reform is need-ed, but this was not the way to do it. The bill is too expensive, it is not well thought out and just not the right time.

This nation is in the middle of hard times. Neighbors are out of work and losing their homes and benefi ts. The nation’s defi cits are astronomical and ballooning out of control to the point of destruction.

Spending another trillion at this time is criminal. The number of unemployed is hov-ering around 12 percent in North Carolina. However, that number does not give a clear picture. People have run out of benefi ts and have given up trying to fi nd a job. Some are underemployed, and are no longer counted as being unemployed. A more likely number is about 20 to 23 percent.

Who will pay their insurance premiums?It will probably take two to three years

to regain the employment numbers that we had, but without employers like GM, Ford and the aircraft industry, all the manufactur-ing jobs will never come back, and that’s where wealth was made.

My job is in transportation. The company has fewer employees and has no intention of hiring in the near future. Until trucking picks up, our economy will not, and unem-

Does Congress know what they voted for?

ployment will not improve. And, well, I don’t feel that requiring small busi-nesses to provide insurance benefi ts for their employees is going to stimulate job growth.

Like many good southerners, I like to drink tea but I am not at all interested in attending a tea party. My belief is that the proper way to communicate my opinion is to contact my representatives.

Their recent decision takes Congress from a representational government to a dictatorial government.

I want my country back and our jobs back from China, Mexico and other countries. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.

I’m done. I’m getting off my soapbox. I know that there are no easy answers.

Now I have something in common with Kay Hagan — I’m disappointed, too.

Eddie Hightower

My View

To the editor,I want to thank my Congressman

Howard Coble for standing up against the Obama Healthcare Plan this past weekend. At a time when Americans are outraged at their government because it seems the majority of our legislators do not listen to the people they are supposed to represent, I am proud that Congressman Coble listens to his constituents and votes accord-ingly.

Congressman Coble comes home every weekend to be with the people he represents so well. He can be found

at parades, barbeques, town meetings, grand openings, meeting with con-stituents, eating breakfast at the local restaurant, and he is never too busy to say hello and ask how you are doing.

He cares, at a time when it feels like no one else does. I wish we had 434 Representatives just like him.

I am pleased and hon-ored to call Howard Coble

my Congressman, and that is why I will vote for him on May 4.

Landfi ll proposal could save taxpayers some ‘cha-ching’

If the Randolph County land-fi ll becomes a regional facil-

ity, it could mean a 2- to 3-cent tax decrease.

BY ROBYN HANKINS

The Randolph County Com-missioners discussed the possible ramifi cations of expanding the landfi ll and accepting solid waste from other counties at their annual retreat, held March 20 at Randolph Community College in Asheboro.

Public Works Director David Townsend broached the subject of expanding the county landfi ll off of Henley Country Road.

“It may be time for Randolph County to consider opening a re-gional facility,” Townsend told the Commissioners. “We’re only using 275 acres out of 600. There are not a lot of neighbors, no subdivisions, it has lots of natural buffers and is downstream (from residences).”

Townsend added that typically the host county pays no tipping fees, and that he knew Chatham County and the city of Greensboro were looking for a new place to ship solid waste.

“Internally, we don’t have enough to make (expansion) cost effective,” he added. “But if we accept out-of-town waste, that

changes everything.”“We could reduce taxes by 2 to

3 percent,” mused Commissioner Phil Kemp.

“It’s already going past us,” said Commissioner Darrell Frye, who represents Archdale and Trin-ity. “Asheboro is the center of the state, the highways go north to south and east to west. The trucks (carrying other counties’ waste) are already passing us.”

Kemp pointed out that nearby residents concerned about well contamination could be easily con-nected to municipal water because the pipes are in place.

Those counties could save on fuel costs and vehicle maintenance by delivering their trash to Ashe-boro, Frye added. Moreover, by becoming a regional facility, Ran-dolph County would not only make money, it would save money.

According to its 2009-2010 budget, Randolph County pays $44 per ton, more than $2 million per year, in tipping fees. Most of this money is paid to Montgomery County, which is where Randolph County sends its 250 tons of gar-bage each day.

The state also charges $2 per ton for administrative costs.

Waste is transported out of county because Randolph County’s

landfi ll, closed in 1997, is unlined. The state requires landfi lls be lined to protect the environment, and landfi lls across the state had to convert to transfer stations unless they spent the money to upgrade their facilities.

Townsend said to break even the county would need to receive 750 tons of garbage per day, but that as a regional facility it could make signifi cantly more money if it took in closer to 2,000 tons per day.

The permitting process for a lined landfi ll can take up to four years. However, Townsend said the actual construction would only take six to eight months.

“We need to think 20 to 30 years down the road,” he added. “Gar-bage is not going away and locat-ing landfi lls is getting harder.”

As a regional facility, Randolph County could also produce enough methane gas to sell.

“Sixty percent of Randolph County’s waste is industrial and does not create methane,” he ex-plained. “But if we become a re-gional facility, it’s a whole new ball game.”

The Commissioners want citi-zen input on this issue. To submit an opinion, call 819-3300 or visit www.co.randolph.nc.us.

PERMITS Continued from front

“The question is, can we continue to allow more than one truck? That violates our existing zoning ordinance,” Bailie ex-plained.

According to the city’s zoning ordinance, parking two or more tractor-trailer rigs on one property constitutes a trucking terminal — which is not allowed in residential areas.

Bailie said City Attorney Bob Wilhoit was investigating the city’s options.

“We’re either gonna allow this or not,” Councilman Rob-bie Sikes pointed out during the nearly two-hour long meet-ing. “Let’s move ahead, we’ve tied up too much time with it already.”

“If we stay with the motion I made and answer the questions asked about tractors and trailers (provided by city staff), to me that’s the simplest way,” said Councilman Kelly Grooms.

Grooms later added that a neighborhood can enforce restric-tive covenants where tractor-trailer rigs are prohibited.

Grooms’ motion, made at the February meeting, to permit existing truckers only, required that the trucker own the prop-erty and the truck. At the meeting, however, Council agreed that trucks owned by spouses or children, who can prove residency at the property and who have a valid commercial driver’s li-cense, are eligible for a permit.

The Council also agreed that leased trucks are ineligible for a permit, but trucks and trailers can be replaced.

The city’s stormwater ordinances already prohibit illicit discharge or motor oil, anti-freeze and other substances, said Stormwater Administrator Rich Baker, but Council agreed to duplicate the language in the ordinance. This means that truck-ers cannot perform major maintenance on their trucks while parked at the residence.

Baker also pointed out that trailers containing hazardous ma-terial are not allowed to park outside designated areas by federal law, so it is not necessary to include that in the ordinance.

According to Bailie, the permits will have to be renewed ev-ery year. Permits will not be renewed if the driver does not own a truck at the time of renewal, if the property where the truck is parked changes ownership, if the driver loses his or her CDL or if the property owner receives two or more city zoning cita-tions.

Council will hold a public hearing on this at its next regular meeting set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 20.

PersistenceThe ability to stick to a task or project until completion is a valuable trait in a world where many tasks are difficult and don’t go smoothly the first time around. Thomas Edison is said to have tried literally thousands of materials for the filament of the electric light bulb before hitting on carbonized cotton thread as the proper material. How much longer would humans have toiled in darkness had it not been for his dogged persistence? Indeed, it could be argued that civilization would not be possible

without this virtue. Perseverance is undoubtedly a useful virtue, but we must be careful that we don’t fall into perseveration, the knee-jerk repetition of a particular response, even when that response is not working. So, we should be smart in our persistence and keep at it, but don’t continue “beating our head against the wall” when our approach is not working. We should be willing to modify our approach and think about what is required to solve our problem. And remember that in some areas of life, such as working with people, patience and persistence are especially called for. Recall that when Jesus was asked how many times we should forgive our brother who has sinned against us, He is effectively saying that we should never stop forgiving.

Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.”

Little Miss Trinity deadline Friday

Arnette completes basic trainingNavy Seaman Shannon N. Arnette, daughter of Doris

F. Arnette of Archdale and Charles W. Arnette of Greens-boro, recently completed Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program, Arnette completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefight-ing, water safety and survival and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedi-cation, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

Arnette is a 2009 graduate of Trinity High School.

Blue Bag Event promotes reading

Parents and their chil-dren at two Archdale

child-care centers are participating in Raising a Reader, a program to increase the amount of time parents read to their children.

More than 220 children and their families are par-ticipating in the program this year.

Children whose families participate in the Raising a Reader program are loaned a bag of award-winning children’s books each week for 26 weeks.

The Randolph County Partnership for Children, in collaboration with the Randolph County Public Library extension services, recently hosted a special event at each of the par-ticipating Archdale centers — My Circle of Friends and First Church of God Day School.

Known as the Blue Bag Event, parents and their

children receive a blue bag to carry library books.

Dear friend, Grover Cleveland was President when the main procedure used in my profession was discovered. You may think that’s a bit anti-quated, but why change something that has such a dramatic success rate and has been get-ting sick and hurting people well since 1895?People are often impressed with highly so-phisticated, “cutting edge” therapies and drugs; that kind of thing certainly gets atten-tion. But, in my office, I’m not going to try to impress you with fancy technology. However, you’re likely to be even more impressed with the results you may get. It’s results that count. Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. The people that often come to see me have been everywhere else first, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Of-ten, they may have been subjected to medica-tions that may have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for.

Before I go on and tell you more, let me tell you something about me.

Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever.

Twenty years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giv-ing up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then adjusted my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I finally felt like my-self again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I finish college but I went on to chiroprac-tic school myself.

For the last ten years, people from Thomas-ville and the surrounding area have come to see me with their headache problems. They also come to me with their:

Here’s what some of my patients had to say:

I thought that there was no way anyone could help my problem and that I would have to live with it. I am now able to swim and run with-out pain which I haven’t been able to do for 2 years. (Brian C.-High Point)

-

I noticed a difference after only a few visits.

I’m blessed that people often thank me for helping them with their health problems.

Chiropractic is probably the most misun-derstood health care profession there is. It is about working with, and enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities. Chiropractors find and remove interference in the nerve system, which allows the body to respond better. As misunderstood as it is, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed

LLife is not about a destination, it’s about the jour-ney, say Jon Greer and Ashley Briggs. While

their destination is California, their journey repre-sents an effort to help people with disabilities.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

Jon and Ashley left Trinity March 22 to pedal to Florida and then to California. As ofTuesday, they had made their way to Savannah, Ga.

The trek will cover hundreds of miles, take exceptional endurance and discipline.

“There are people out there who will never get to do this,” said Jon — people like Ashley’s 7-year-old nephew Elijah, who was diagnosed with Asberger’s Syndrome.

Because of early intervention and therapies, Elijah will have the chance to enjoy a relatively normal life.

Jon and Ashley want more people with disabilities to enjoy a fulfi lling life and believe they can make a differ-ence with this journey through Push America, a nonprofi t which benefi ts children with special needs through specifi c projects like building camps, playgrounds and wheelchair ramps.

Along the way, the couple will do guest appearances and volunteer work for Push America.

Their desire to help those with special needs intertwines with another objective — fulfi llment of a “bucket list.”

“Everyone has things they want to do someday,” said Ashley. “If you don’t at least plan on doing it, it may never happen.”

At the top of the bucket list is cycle across America, at the bottom is make a difference and what’s in between — that’s good stuff, too.

They hope to bungee jump, go hot air ballooning and hang gliding as well as enjoy swimming with dolphins, petting a baby elephant, or being kissed by a giraffe.

Right now, their emphasis is on the fi rst and last objec-tives. Ashley has been on the last objective for years now.

“Due to my experiences with Elijah, I have a big place in my heart for children with special needs,” said Ashley. “This motivated me to earn a degree in special education.

“During college, I was lucky enough to get a job as a CAP (Community Alternative Program) worker.”

This experience reaffi rmed Ashley’s desire to work with special needs children.

“I have had the opportunity to work closely with many amazing children who had all types of disabilities,” Ashley

said.Ashley, 22, a native of Thomasville, graduated from the

University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2009. She not only holds a bachelor’s degree in special education, but also in elementary education. Although she wants to dedicate her life to teaching children with disabilities, she decided to delay her entry into teaching for a year until the bicycle trip is over.

Jon, 25, a Trinity High School graduate, is a graphic design artist.

Neither of them is an experienced cyclist and, until four months ago, Ashley had never owned a bicycle without training wheels.

“A year ago if someone would have told me I was about to venture off into the unknown and ride a bike, that I don’t have, across the country, well, I would have laughed in their face,” said Ashley.

How long the journey will take is unknown.As of last Wednesday, the couple were in South Caro-

lina and had camped out in a family’s backyard. “We are riding our bikes from North Carolina, through

Florida to California,” Jon said. “We are not sure exactly how long this adventure might take.”

The idea to cycle across the country was Jon’s. “I’ve al-ways wanted to travel and see everything there is to see,” he said. “I ran the idea by [Ashley] one night and she fell in love with it.”

The two want to fulfi ll this dream before the responsibility of careers and children obli-gate them to stay in one place.

The couple spent six months planning, pre-paring and saving money for the challenging trip. Dave Clodfelter, at Spinz Bicycle Shop, gave them instructions on basic bike repair as well as how to change tires. The couple trained at Archdale Family Fitness.

Jon and Ashley are thrilled about their jour-ney, but know realistically they face challeng-es.

They have promised to check in with their families frequently.

“Our parents are supportive, but they’re worried,” said Ashley.

During practice rides, Ashley fell and re-quired surgery.

Even packing for the trip was a challenge.

They carry saddlebag-like containers called panniers. Because of limited space in their panniers, Jon and Ash-ley spent two months carefully selecting their clothing and camping equipment.

And then ... there’s the 30-mile incline to the Grand Canyon.

“We don’t really know what we’re getting ourselves into,” Jon writes on the Web site. “We know this is going to be one of the hardest things we‘ve ever done.

“But you know what, we can do it. The quote on the main page of our Web site is one from T.S. Eliot ‘Only those who risk going too far can possibly fi nd out how far one can go.’ ”

With planning and a little research and help from friends, Jon and Ashley are taking the steps to make a dream come true — one check at a time on the bucket list.

“Even though we are a little afraid, we aren’t going to let fear rule our lives,” wrote Jon.

Want to follow Jon and Ashley?

Jon Greer and Ashley Briggs of Trinity are pedaling from North Carolina to Florida to California to benefi t Push America, a nonprofi t which benefi ts children with special needs.

Donations to Push America may be made from the Project Live Web site — http://project-live.org/.

“At the end of our trip, 10 percent of all the money do-nated from our Web site will be given to the Autism Soci-ety of America, and will specifi cally help families affected by autism,” Jon said.

They want the community to follow their journey.“We will be documenting our trip on our Web site

through means of pictures, videos, daily journals and a pretty detailed map of our route,” said Jon. “We will get the chance to share most of our experience with the world.”

Readers may follow on the Project Live Web site at http://project-live.org or follow Jonathan N’ Ashley on Facebook.

“We will need encouragement in any form possible — a handshake, a “way to go” or anything,” said Jon. “If you know any way of helping us out let us know and it will

CIS partners with Rotary

When Joyce Metters decided to get her husband, Kenny, a flat screen TV for Father’s Day last

year, she thought she was going to go to a ‘big box’ store and shell out ‘big bucks.’

STAFF REPORTS

Instead, she wonKenny’s gift in a drawing held by Communities In Schools of Ran-dolph County.

“My daughter thought the mes-sage they left on my answering ma-chine (that I had won a TV) was a joke,” Joyce ex-plained. “So I had to tell him before Father’s Day. He had a great Father’s Day!”

This year, CIS is again sponsoring a drawing for a 55-inch flat screen TV and the Randolph Rotary Club’s new member committee is partnering with them. Tickets are $5 each or five tickets for $20. Rotarian David Whitaker explained that each club is expected to have a charitable project each year.

This year, the group decided to support CIS’s BackPack Pals program. Proceeds from sales of those tickets will be so designated.

Archdale’s Mark and Mary Jane Akerman were run-ners-up in last year’s drawing. They won an Apple iPod. This year’s second prize is a 10.1 Toshiba netbook.

CIS will draw this year’s winners on Saturday, May 22, at the conclusion of their “Readin’, Writin’ and Ridin’” motorcycle event.

For more information or tickets, contact Whitaker at 629-3250 (Able Signs) or CIS at 625-0008 or [email protected].

Joyce Metters hopes her husband does not expect a similar Father’s Day gift again this year.

“But,” she says, “I am going to buy another ticket.”

Mark and Mary Jane Akerman of Archdale won the Apple iPod last year.

Civil War re-enactment April 10 and 11

Archdale, Trinity escape storm damage

The Archdale-Trinity area was relatively unaffected by a severe

thunderstorm Sunday evening, while a category F3 tornado touched down in nearby High Point.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

According to the National Weather Ser-vice, just under an inch and a half of rain fell in Archdale on Sunday, mostly dur-ing the evening and night hours. While area residents reported high winds and hail, Guil-Rand Fire and Archdale Police departments did not receive any storm-re-lated calls.

After visiting the High Point area Mon-day morning, crews from the National Weather Service confirmed an F3 Tornado touched down near Johnson Street in High Point. The Fujita or F-scale rates tornado intensity, based on the damage tornadoes inflict on vegetation and structures.

According to the weather service, speeds

hit 130 mph during the storm. A spokesper-son for the National Weather Service said the tornado was upgraded to an F3 after further investigation.

Guilford County Emergency Manager confirmed 20 structures were damaged by high winds following reports of a tornado sighted near Green Street Baptist Church on Rotary Drive at 7:27 p.m. Sunday.

There was extensive tree damage and roofs were ripped off several buildings near the intersection of Old Mill and Skeet Club roads in High Point.

Heavy rains caused flash flooding in the East Fork area of Deep River, five miles northeast of High Point.

Duke Energy reported as many as 1,600 reported power outages in Guilford County Sunday night.

Multiple tornadoes were reported in the Piedmont area Sunday.

In addition to Guilford County, storm damage in Davidson, Gaston and Person counties is under investigation by the Na-tional Weather Service.

A Civil War re-enact-ment in Trinity will depict the final surrender of Gen. William Hardee.

The event will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 10 and 11, at the Albertson House, 4924 Meadowbrook Road in Trinity. The camp will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Two battles will be re-enacted Saturday and one Sunday. A mid-morn-ing worship service will be held Sunday.

Visitors may tour a field hospital and stroll through the camps to experience soldier life.

At the time of surrender, Confederate Gen. William Hardee was camped at Trin-ity College (now the site of Braxton Craven School) with 20,000 soldiers and 7,000 horses spread over six miles along the road leading to Archdale.

Gen. Hardee was in charge of the Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and had slowed Union Gen. William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea by delaying Sherman at Sa-vannah. Hardee later joined Gen. Joseph Johnston at the Battle of Bentonville and

surrendered at Trinity when he learned that Johnston was negotiating surrender at Bennett Place in Durham.

The event is a project of Friends of Trinity. For more information, call 472-8207.
