Vanderpool exhibit to openCarol Vanderpool’s ex-

hibit “Cautionary Tales and Other Considerations” will open from 6-9 p.m. to-night at the Foothills Arts Council.

The event will feature live music and a wine booth.

“My exhibit addresses the human condition,” said Vanderpool. “It’s a humor-ous way of looking at seri-ous issues.”

Vanderpool said the exhibit includes fabric hangings and mostly can-vas pieces, including some collage and acrylic paint-ings.

“I hope people ind hu-mor in my work,” she said. “I hope they will think a little more. I want the viewer to look at the pic-ture and come up with his or her own diagnosis.”

The exhibit will also feature Vanderpool’s pup-pet theatre. Vanderpool, who currently works at the library as a librarian assis-tant, revamped the puppet stage, and her work with the puppet theatre will be on display as well.

Visit the FAC Friday evening to view Vander-pool’s ideas and enjoy a night of art. For more information, call FAC at 336-835-2025.

Surry requests study of YVEDDI servicesMEGHANN EVANS

Heartland Publications

Surry County Board of Commis-sioners Chairman Paul Johnson this week called for a study of YVEDDI to see if the services the organization offers could be provided at less ex-pense to the county.

Johnson said at the close of Monday night’s Surry commis-sioners’ meeting that he would like the county to do a study of Yadkin Valley Economic Development District Inc., to investigate wheth-er its services could be performed as cheap or cheaper by a different group in the county. Commission-ers instructed the county manager to do a study, which would likely be presented to the board in August.

YVEDDI provides a variety of services in a four-county region, in-cluding domestic violence services, a family resource center, services

for the elderly, Head Start, the Re-tired and Senior Volunteer Program, senior centers, transportation and weatherization. It utilizes federal, state and local funding.

Johnson elaborated Tuesday that he would like to see a study on the pro-grams that Surry County and YVEDDI share to see if the possibility exists to put out the programs to bid to let the private sector take them over in Surry, or if some of the services such as a number of senior programs could be provided by the county. “To see if there’s any possibility of doing it differ-ently,” Johnson remarked.

He continued, “We’re just looking at eficiency and savings.”

Johnson did express some frustra-tion with YVEDDI, saying the agency had asked the county multiple times for a $75,000 allocation for a build-ing purchase. According to Johnson, the agency purchased a building a few years ago before talking to Surry Coun-

ty to see if it would be willing to help fund the purchase. He said the group started putting pressure on its member counties to give $75,000 apiece to help with the building cost, but the previous Surry County Board of Commissioners had voted no.

“We’re tired of hearing about it,” Johnson remarked Tuesday.

He said Davie County had given $75,000, Stokes had given $25,000, Yadkin had given $50,000, but Sur-ry has not given any funds for the building.

Commissioner Eddie Harris had questions about the study on Monday night and said perhaps the county needed to have a greater dis-cussion about YVEDDI and com-municate with YVEDDI leaders.

Harris noted Tuesday that not many groups are in the business of doing what YVEDDI is doing, such as providing its transportation ser-vices. Of the study, he said, “I don’t

know where this will go.” But he said as a public oficial it is always good to take an in-depth look at ev-erything you are involved in.

There is probably some con-cern or frustration with the lack of money to adequately fund a lot of groups such as YVEDDI, Harris said. “The economy and revenue shortfalls have made it so dificult for organizations like YVEDDI and county governments to do what they’ve always done,” he remarked.

YVEDDI requested a total of $176,856 from the county this year for its programs, but the county allocated $139,544. Last year the agency received an allocation of $154,548. It saw a 10-percent cut in funding for most programs this year, as did various other human services agencies.

The commissioners unanimous-ly approved Johnson’s suggestion to do a study.

Surry sheri<’s o=ce to buy new data terminals with savingsMEGHANN EVANS

Heartland Publications

Savings from the recent privatization of meal ser-vices at the county jail has allowed the Surry County Sheriff’s Ofice to purchase new mobile data terminals.

The Surry County Board of Commissioners approved the sheriff’s ofice to make the roughly $90,000 pur-

chase using funds saved by the transition to a new meal system at the Surry County Detention Center. Sheriff Graham Atkinson said the ofice ordered the 29 new MDTs (mobile data termi-nals) after the meeting.

He explained to the com-missioners that the ofice has been having trouble with its MDTs in the past few months to the point of them no longer functioning

consistently. These comput-erized data terminals are located in oficer vehicles and allow them to access databases with information about warrants from across the state and various other information. Atkinson said they are critical tools for of-icers.

Atkinson explained Tuesday, “In today’s law

One driver is lucky a guardrail stopped his vehicle short of a perilous plunge into the Yadkin River late Wednesday night.

According to Jonesville Police Department officer Justin Hamlin, Eric Marshall Sherrill, 22, of 1570 S. N.C. 16, Newton, N.C., was arrested on one misde-meanor DWI count after his car crashed into a guard-rail on the Jonesville side of the Yadkin River at ap-proximately 11:30 p.m.

The guardrail that blocked the path of Sherrill’s 2006 Ford Taurus was erected to mark the end of the

Youth mission tripTRIBUNE/Submitted photo

The youth, led by Marty Nixon, and some adults of Arlington First Baptist Church took a mission trip, June 16-23, 2011, to Bryson City, Tenn. They joined Tom Harris, S.W.A.R.M (South Western Area Resort Ministry) and his team and completed mis-sion projects in the area. There were decisions made for the Lord and we were blessed. Pray for S.W.A.R.M. as they continue their work in this area.

She was a very faithful servant be-fore becoming disabled and homebound, but continued paying her tithes.

Ms. Martin graduated from Gary High School in West Virginia and re-tired from Vaughn Basset. She worked as a dietitian for Banner Manufacturing Company and Moses Cone Hospital, both of Greens-boro. She was know to most

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, June 24, 2011, at Piney Grove United Methodist Church, by Rev. Clyde Moore. Ms. Martin will lie-in-state from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Buri-al will follow in the church cemetery.

Flowers will be accepted or memorials may be made to Piney Grove UMC, 1195 Bethel Church Road, Ron-da, N.C. 28670.

Type O negative blood supply dropsThe supply of type O nega-

tive blood at the American Red Cross has dropped to critically low levels. Type O negative blood is always in high demand because it can be transfused to patients with any blood type, especially in emergency situations. Type O negative donors are needed now to help prevent the type O negative blood supply from declining further.

“The American Red Cross is reaching out to eligible blood donors, sponsors and community leaders to ask them to help recruit type O negative blood donations to help meet the needs of patients in our community,” says Ash-ley Gantt, spokesperson for the American Red Cross Caro-lina’s Blood Services Region.

While all blood types are needed during the summer months, the Red Cross urges those eligible donors with O negative blood type to make and keep appointments in the upcoming days to help restore the blood supply.

A shortage of type O nega-tive blood often occurs during the summer months when few-er donors are giving because of summer vacations and schools approaching summer break are hosting fewer drives.

Every two seconds, some-one in the United States needs blood. The Red Cross Caro-linas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet hospital demand. Accident victims, as well as patients with cancer, sickle cell disease, blood disorders and other ill-nesses receive lifesaving trans-fusions every day. There is no substitute for blood and volun-teer donors are the only source.

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet weight and height re-quirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to give blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.

June 25, 1986Tri-County area earth is cracking; most grass has turned

June 26, 2006Consolidation of area Hospice organizations has im-

proved service for terminally ill patients, the new opera-tion’s director believes. About nine months ago, North-ern Hospice, serving Mount Airy, and Hospice of Surry County that focused on southern Surry with an outreach organization that operated under the name Hospice of Yad-kin County, merged to form Mountain Valley Hospice and Palliative Care.

Headlines read, “Jonesville netter wins tourney title.” Laura Beaver of Jonesville and Levi Simpson of Dobson both claimed championships at the 34th Mount Airy Junior Novice tennis tournament.

S u p e r v i -sor Bill looks around his de-partment and fumes over how many single women have jobs when his own brother, who has a family to support, can’t ind work.

Supervisor John, still steaming over his divorce, is convinced that every woman is just as greedy as his ex-wife.

Supervisor Phil thinks any woman who doesn’t wear much makeup isn’t trying hard enough.

Supervisor Bob insists that a woman’s sense of judgment luctuates with her menstrual cycle.

Supervisor Mark believes that God created Adam irst for a reason and that no man should have to take orders from a woman.

In every instance, these male supervisors are wrong in their perceptions of women. If their be-liefs in women’s inferiority drive their managerial decisions in the workplace, they are breaking the law. That doesn’t mean, however, that they won’t get away with it.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the 1.5 million female workers for Wal-Mart who claimed — in the largest civil rights class-action suit in history — that the company fa-vored men over women in pay and promotions.

Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the court’s majority, said the women did not have enough in common to be certiied as a single class. What seemed to matter most to the all-male majority was that even if the male supervisors did discriminate against women, each did it in his own way.

Let’s hear it for creativity.No one sums up the impact of this decision bet-

ter than Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick:“Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private em-

ployer, seems to have igured out that the key to low-cost discrimination lies in discriminating on a massive scale.”

She adds: “A lot of critics are saying that this decision has created a new rule: Some companies are simply too big to sue. But that’s only half the story. The other half is that in the court’s eyes, sex discrimination is simply too pervasive to be a prob-lem.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for all three women on the court and Justice Stephen Breyer, zeroed in on the impact of corporate Wal-Mart’s hey-don’t-blame-us policy of man-agement:

“Women ill 70 percent of the hourly jobs in

the retailer’s stores but make up only 33 percent of management employees.

The higher one looks in the organization the lower the percentage of women. … The salary gap widens over time even for men and women hired into the same jobs at the same time.”

Ginsburg also made clear that in discrimination, innovation should not be rewarded.

“The very nature of discretion,” she wrote, “is that people will exercise it in various ways.”

Before you step foot in a Wal-Mart store, con-sider these court pleadings from some of its female employees:

When Kim McLamb discovered that male em-ployees made more than female employees working the same jobs, she complained to three different as-sistant managers. Each told her it was because the men “had families to support.”

A store manager told Ramona Scott, “Men are here to make a career, and women aren’t. Retail is for housewives who just need to earn extra money.” This same store manager told her that if she wanted to get along with him, she would have to behave like his wife and frequently asked her to get coffee for him and other male managers.

Christine Kwapnoski’s evaluations were out-standing, and she received a number of merit raises over the years, but she still was denied a manage-ment job. The director of operations claimed she had “people issues,” in that she was too direct and outspoken. Two weeks after she inally became an area manager, the general manager told her to “doll up” and “blow the cobwebs off her makeup.”

Store manager Melissa Howard had to attend district meetings at a Hooters restaurant. On one occasion, two male members of management trav-eling with Howard insisted on stopping at numerous strip clubs. She didn’t feel safe sitting by herself in the dark parking lot. She went into the club, where a stripper and a male district manager proposed that she join them for a “threesome out back.”

“Managers, like all humankind, may be prey to biases of which they are unaware,” Justice Gins-burg wrote. “The risk of discrimination is height-ened when those managers are predominantly of one sex, and are steeped in a corporate culture that perpetuates gender stereotypes.”

Some managers are indeed unaware.Sometimes they know exactly what they’re do-

ing, and they just don’t care.Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning col-

The desperate denials continueTwo things have

continued unabat-ed since the Re-

publicans and ive rogue Democrats in the General Assembly passed a budget last week that slashed funding for public schools.

People in classrooms are getting fired and Republican leaders and their propagandists are desperately denying they have anything to do with it.

The latest attempt to absolve Republican legislative leaders of any responsibility for all the pink slips flying into teachers’ mail-boxes across the state comes from the News & Observer’s Rick Martinez, whose latest column reads like an only slightly rewritten press release from the office of House Speaker Thom Tillis.

Martinez has especially harsh words for the North Carolina As-sociation of Educators and Gov. Beverly Perdue, for what he says is their fear-mongering, bellyaching, pandering, trash-talking, and exploiting children.

Martinez is beside himself that members of the “education bureau-cracy” continue to point out that teachers and teacher assistants are losing their jobs every day, a fact Martinez says is not unusual and that many of those laid off will be rehired in the fall after funding “irms” up.

Then after saying that not many teachers will be fired, he wants us to know that if they are, local school officials are to blame, not the leadership of the General Assembly. He points to counties like Wake where the superintendent managed to avoid firing teachers by slashing other jobs.

He doesn’t mention that Wake Superintendent Tony Tata, a Re-publican hero, called the Republican education budget “draconian.” Or that the NCAE and Governor Perdue are not making up stories about layoffs of teachers and teacher assistants, they are merely cit-ing some of the dozens of reports of school layoffs in newspapers across the state.

And education funding is as firm as it going to get and leaves many local school officials with no choice but to let teachers and teacher assistants go. There is nowhere else for many of them to make the cuts the Republican budget imposes.

A handful of counties may be able to avoid cutting teachers by relying on left over one time federal stimulus money, the funds that Martinez and his allies on the right opposed and blasted Democrats for using to hire teachers in the last two years.

Also left out of the rewritten press release are the other education cuts that directly affect the classroom and the ability of the teach-ers who are left to do their jobs, like the reduction in funding for classroom supplies.

Ask any teacher and they will tell you they are already paying for supplies out of their salary that hasn’t increased in three years.

Surely Martinez can’t believe that only the “education bureaucra-cy” believes students ought to have pencils and paper and materials for bulletin boards, but the budget he supports doesn’t provide them.

Expect more misleading screeds like this from the folks on the right because their carefully crafted prevarications aren’t working, their cover is blown.

Their budget fires teachers and teacher assistants and school staff members that support them. And students will suffer.

That is the simple truth and all the confusing claims and name calling in the world can’t hide it.

road that once led to the Hugh Chatham Memo-rial Bridge. The guardrail sustained nearly $1,500 in damages from the crash and is currently in the pro-cess of being replaced by the N.C. DOT, according to the JPD.

Wednesday night’s in-cident raises further ques-tions regarding the safety of current traffic markings and signage alerting driv-ers of the road closing at the site of the recently de-molished bridge.

The issue has been a topic of discussion at a number of Jonesville Town Council meetings in the months since the bridge’s demolition.

During these recent meetings, the councilmen have voiced concern about the possibility of drivers running into the guard-rail after failing to see the signs intended to re-route traffic.

The Councilmen were

particularly worried for out-of-town visitors who might overlook the signs. The members of the Town Council also expressed concern that the guard-rail may not be a strong enough barrier to sustain a severe impact.

JPD officer Hamlin said that the town is now in talks with DOT officials about adding road signage farther in advance along N.C. 67 to warn drivers of the bridge outage and traf-fic pattern change.

enforcement world it’s just as essential as having a gun or cuffs.” He said it gives oficers quick access to in-formation which can inlu-ence how they approach a vehicle they have pulled over or how to respond to a call. He said it can mean the difference between life or death when dealing with a wanted person.

The sheriff told the commissioners that most agencies in the state have transitioned to systems op-erated with aircards, so the modem system that Surry County has been using up to this point is no longer func-tioning properly. The ofice tested out a MDT model which it likes and is cheaper than the former unit consid-ered. Atkinson said many of the oficers like the new system better. It has a larger keyboard and runs faster than the modem system.

The funding was avail-able due to the $97,000 saved by the county’s con-tract with Aramark to pro-vide meal services at the jail. Those funds were al-ready appropriated in the budget; the county just had to agree to move money be-tween line items in the sher-iff’s ofice and jail budgets. The board approved this unanimously.

The sheriff’s ofice contracted with Aramark mid-year to take over meal services at the jail, drop-ping county costs per meal from around $2.41 to $1.60. Atkinson said the agency also hired the meal service employees that had previ-ously been employed by the county, saving more funds.

Also during the county commissioner meeting:

• Alvis Beach of Elkin spoke during the open fo-rum, urging the commis-sioners to act on his behalf. He said the tax ofice had assigned more value to two of his vehicles than they were worth, and he wanted the block to be taken off of his tags. He said, “I want to pay what I owe, but that’s all I want to owe.”

• The board approved rezoning requests for par-cels on Old Westield Road

and Hawks Road, both for business purposes. No one came up to speak during the public hearings for those rezonings, which the Surry County Planning Board had recommended for approval.

• The board and Surry County Emergency Ser-vices recognized emer-gency personnel with life save awards. They regu-larly recognize people who have saved ive, 10, 25, 50 or 100 lives. Roger Horton was recognized for saving 25 people, Byron Isaacs for 10 saves, Brant Bot-tomley for ive saves, Tim Crotts for ive saves, and Jose Butron for ive saves. Emergency Services Direc-tor John Shelton also rec-ognized Jonathan Bledsoe, assistant director with 911 communications. Shelton said Bledsoe ran up on an accident scene coming back from a church outing this weekend in Charlotte and stopped to check on the driver. He said the man was in full cardiac arrest, and Bledsoe pulled him from the vehicle and worked to resuscitate him. Thanks to Bledsoe’s quick actions, the man is now coming home from the hospital. Shelton said, “These are the things we hope to achieve in the business we’re in.”

• As part of the county’s continuity of operations planning, the board ap-proved an interlocal agree-ment with Dobson authoriz-ing the governing boards to use each others’ meeting spaces in cases of emer-gency.

• The board approved El-kin City Schools to convert oil heat to natural gas in its schools, since the school system is now repaving its high school parking lot and now is the ideal time to in-stall the natural gas line. The school system said the

conversion will lead to sig-niicant savings in the fu-ture. Part of the cost of the project was added to phase three of the Elkin High School renovation project and can be funded through sales taxes recouped, with the rest coming from capital outlay.

• The board agreed to hold a work session at some point in coming months to evaluate current and pos-sible water and sewer proj-ects. The board also voted to continue working on a possible project for sewer services at Veterans Me-morial Park in Mount Airy. Johnson told the board that the initial estimate for the project came in higher than expected, so Jack Gardin, water and sewer projects coordinator, suggests con-ducting a ield survey at the site to clarify the county’s options before making a i-nal decision about the park.

• The commissioners agree to wait before con-sidering a $125,000 offer to purchase county property on Riverside Drive since the health department is do-ing a feasibility study about the site to see if it could be used by the department.

• The board amended the county personnel ordinance and approved a new clas-siication plan for 2011-12, which reclassiied a number of positions. Sandra Snow, human services oficer, explained via e-mail that the changes were based on “added or changed duties and responsibilities requir-ing employees to perform at a higher level.”

The board will not meet again until mid-July. It will not hold a meeting on the irst Monday of July since that is the Fourth of July.

Every time we get into our car to drivesomewhere, we are obligated to obey the variouslaws that we encounter while on the road. Weshould stop at the red lights, not speed, and weshouldn’t tailgate or drive too fast for onditions.Even if we do not drive a motor vehicle, weshould obey the laws that pertain to edestrianswhenever we are walking on public roadways.For example, we should not jaywalk, or crosswhen the signal shows “don’t cross” at busyintersections. Generally, these man-made laws arebeneficial and are enacted to protect everyone. God’slaws are also made to protect everyone. Whenever we areunkind, untruthful, or dishonest, we are breaking God’s laws andthis may be harmful to us or someone else. Regrettably, it oftentimesseems easier to break the law than to do the right thing. Being latefor an appointment, we may drive faster than we should, or tellingsomeone a lie may be easier than admitting that we did somethingwrong. However, most often it is not as easy to be forgiven bysimply telling a law officer that we are sorry for having broken thelaw. Fortunately, when we break one of God’s laws, it is easier to beforgiven, than when we get caught speeding, or going through a redlight. Our Heavenly Father knows that we are prone to makemistakes and His loving kindness is always there when we arerepentant and ask for His forgiveness.

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Rowan piles up runs against WilkesCHRIS SIERS

Sports Writercsiers@elkintribune.com

MORAVIAN FALLS – In Thursday night’s legion baseball game, Rowan Post #342 exploded for six runs in the top of the fourth inning en route to a 15-6 victory over Wilkes County.

Key errors and six walks allowed Rowan to make an entire trip through the lineup to push the six base runners across the plate.

“We battled them pretty well for the irst four or ive innings. We gave them the lead and came back within one. Then we committed three errors and gave them six on the board and that was the difference in the ball game,” said Wilkes Manager Terry Johnson.

Although Rowan broke the game open in the fourth, the irst few innings were a much tighter struggle between the two squads.

In the top of the irst, three Rowan play-ers singled, including an RBI single by Na-thaniel Fulbright to take the early lead.

With two runners on, Luke Thomas stepped to the plate and launched a three-run bomb over the leftield fence to put Rowan up 4-0.

Wilkes responded in the bottom of the inning with a leadoff single to right ield by Ryan Harrold.

After Harrold’s single, third baseman Perry Lowe struck out for the irst out of the inning.

With one out, Dillon Dobson stepped to the plate and was able to safely dash to irst base after a dropped third strike. During Dobson’s at-bat, Harrold was able to safely move on to third base.

William Johnson drove in Harrold on a sacriice ly ball to put Wilkes on the board.

Alex Minton cut even farther into the Rowan lead with a two-run homer to right ield.

“That’s a major league shot. Alex has all kinds of power at the plate. That hit

changed the complexity of the game for us,” Johnson said.

After cutting the Rowan lead to just one, both teams slugged it out defensively for the next two innings, until Rowan was able to drive in six runners during the top of the fourth inning.

Although able to defensively hold Row-an to just one run in the second and third innings, key errors plagued Wilkes.

After a rough outing on the mound for Wilkes in the fourth, Will Shepherd re-lieved Tanner Mathis and was able to retire the inal batter of the inning.

Facing a seven-run deicit, Wilkes’ scor-ing was silenced until Scott Gambill’s RBI single in the bottom of the ifth inning.

But just as soon as Wilkes rallied for a run, Rowan piled on three more in the top of the sixth inning.

Determined to get back in the game, Wilkes scored one inal run in the bottom of the seventh, however, Rowan was able to hold on and cruise to the 15-6 win.

Despite the loss, Johnson thought the team played well from the mound and plate.

Starting pitcher Christian Triplett pitched three innings for Wilkes and earned two strikeouts against Rowan.

“I thought Christian came out and pitched a good ball game. When we brought Will (Shepherd) in, I thought he pitched well for us. I know Tanner (Mathis) struggled a little bit trying to ind the zone, but he hasn’t been on the mound in a while. You’ve got to hit it, you’ve got to play de-fense and you’ve got to pitch well. I think we pitched well and I think we hit it well I just don’t think we played good defense tonight. When you don’t have all three of those together, you normally don’t end up winning ball games,” Johnson said.

Wilkes County will be back in action Friday night when they travel to Lake Nor-man Friday night.
