Although dark clouds loomed close by, the spirit of the hundreds of participants and attendees of the 2011 Relay for Life of Yadkin Coun-ty could not be dampened on Friday, May 13.
The event was held at Starmount High School to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
The event began with a survivor lap around the track of the athletic ield at 6 p.m. Throughout the night, speakers, bands, the Starmount show choir, contest, dancers and other mu-sicians performed to those in atten-dance.
“Throughout the year, teams that have registered, hold fundraisers to help with reaching our goal,” Com-mittee Chairperson for Survivors for Yadkin County Teresa Holman said. “The teams gather here and support the ACS further by setting up booths and offering items and food products for purchase.
“Some of the groups have home-made ice cream, some handmade items, cookies and candies,” she said. “We are thrilled with the turn-out and the support of the residents of Yadkin County.”

GARDNERMrs. Marilyn Eileen

Throughout her ca-reer as a nurse, consultant, and administrator in long-term care, she lived out her faith by loving each client as part of her own family and guiding her staff to do the same. Most important to Marilyn was a personal commitment to her fam-ily which extended far be-yond the lines of blood and marriage. She was the rock on which all could rely, a teacher from whom count-less could learn, a healer so full of compassion, and a mother and nana to so many more than her own children. Marilyn could only be all these things be-cause she married her best friend and her biggest fan. She was MEG to her “Coy,” and their love lives on in all those blessed to be called family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Michael Montagano; father-in-law, Maxton Gardner; brothers, Mathew Montagano and Mario Montagano; broth-ers-in-law, Rubin Gardner and Sonny Gardner.
Surviving are her devot-ed husband, Coy Diamont Gardner of the home; two dedicated daughters and faithful son-in-law, Laura Foster, and Amy Harlee and husband Larry; two loving step-sons, Joseph Gardner and wife Denise, and Timo-thy Gardner and wife Geral-dine; doting former son-in-law, Wesley Foster; adored grandchildren, Thomas Foster, Timothy Foster, Erika Foster, Larry Akiyah Harlee, Mario Harlee, Ryan Gardner, Rebecca Gardner, Randy Gardner, Caitlin Gardner, and Caroline Gard-ner; her precious mother, Marilyn Betty Montagano; deeply affectionate broth-ers and sisters, Michael and Ellen Montagano, Mark Montagano, Myles and Lynn Montagano; Maureen Lister, Marianne and Paul Wynne, Peggy Montagano, Marlene Montagano; a true constant in her life, her mother-in-law, Vetral Gard-ner; always loyal brothers and sisters-in-law, Jerald and Kim Gardner, Lucy and Roger Swaim, Nellie and Benny Norman, and Issy and Ricky Hinshaw; and many beloved nieces, neph-ews, and cherished family and friends.
The family will re-ceive friends from 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Gentry Family Funeral Service in Yadk-inville. Her funeral ser-vice will be 1 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2011, in the Gen-try Family Chapel by Rev. Kelly Carpenter. Full mili-tary honors will be given by

“Over $80,000. was raised this year with 34 teams participating in this year’s event,” Allison S. Reeves, Community Man-ager, ACS-South Atlantic Division said. “The Relay For Life committee did an outstanding job of putting this event together. We are so thankful to those who were on the scene and be-hind the scene, months prior to and the day of the event,” she said.
“We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s cor-porate sponsors. Relay For Life would not be possible without them.”

My Little Margie Day: Gale Storm (Margie Albright) and Charles Farrell (Vernon Albright) starred in My Little Margie which debuted on CBS-TV on this day in 1952.
Fans of the popular comedy will remember that My Little Margie was based at the Carlton Arms Hotel, Apart-ment 10-A. Vern Albright was a very eligible widower who worked for the investment irm of Honeywell and Todd. Margie Albright, his 21-year-old daughter, was continually scheming to help dad and continually causing big trouble while helping.
The show made the unusual move from television to ra-dio in December, 1952, airing original, not simulcast, ver-sions on the radio. Gale Storm and Charles Farrell starred in the radio series as well. My Little Margie skipped around the TV networks, going from CBS after four months to NBC-TV, back to CBS-TV in January of 1953 and then back to NBC in September of that year. year.
The sitcom met its demise in August 1955, just in time for Margie AKA Gale Storm to move into a singing career. I
Hear You Knocking, Ivory Tower, Teenage Prayer, Why Do Fools Fall in Love and Dark Moon made it to the pop charts after My Little Margie made it into our memory banks.Events of June 16 over the years:

Summer is here.Are there some North Car-
olina books in your summer reading book bag?
If not, here are some pos-sibilities from authors who will be featured on upcoming programs on UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch.
Rachel, the blue-eyed child of a black American GI and a Danish mother, is the central character in an award-winning novel, “The Girl Who Fell From the Sky” by Heidi Dur-row. Durrow herself is the child of a Danish mother and an African-American father, whose military assignments brought him to North Carolina. The author’s real struggle to ind her identity provided the background for the similar ictional struggle that Rachel faced. But the novel is a darker story, a more compelling one, of a child whose mother loved her so much she wanted her child to die with her. (Durrow will be my Book-watch guest at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, June 17, and 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 19.)
Suzanne Hobbs, who teaches at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health, is a prominent public health professional and author of several books in the “for Dummies” series, includ-ing “Living Dairy-Free for Dummies.” Why would a distinguished professor want to write a book for dummies? She explains that the “dummies” for-mula is a big help for an author who wants to write clearly and simply. Lots of readers, most of whom are not dummies, appreciate the approach. And the books far outsell most of the academic books that Hobbs’s university colleagues write. (June 24,26)
Burnsville’s Abigail DeWitt’s new novel, “Dogs,” is not about dogs. It is the story of a judge’s daughter who grows up into trouble and neverthe-less is admitted to Harvard, where those troubles
compound. How she makes for a happier life in North Carolina as she grows older keeps the story from being overwhelmingly dark. Here is what Lee Smith says about the book: “Dark, sexy, and pro-foundly original—a Texas-hot family saga unlike any other. A brilliant and thought-provoking novel from the extravagantly talented Abigail DeWitt.” (July 1,3)
From “Birth of a Nation” in 1915 to Hattie Mc-Daniel in “Gone with the Wind,” to Ethel Waters in “Member of the Wedding” in 1952, African-Ameri-can actresses made their way into American movies in the irst half of the last century. In her new book, “African American Actresses: The Struggle for Visibility, 1900–1960,” UNC-Chapel Hill profes-sor Charlene Regester tells the real stories of these women who became stars in a time of segregation and oppression. (July 8,10)
John Hart’s recent novel “The Lost Child” won for him a second Edgar Award for the best mystery novel of the year. He says his latest, “Iron House,” is even better. It is a page-turner, with much of the action set on a large estate near Chapel Hill owned by a wealthy U.S. Senator. (July 15,17)
A new author, Anna Jean Mayhew, and a new novel, “The Dry Grass of August”, take us all the way back to the racially-segregated Charlotte of 1954 and the poignant story of a young girl in a family under stress, being pulled apart by forces the girl does not understand. It is a story, in Lee Smith’s words, that is “written with unusual charm, won-derful dialogue, and a deeply felt sense of time and place.” (July 22,24)
Seventy-ive years ago, down in Pinehurst, a young heiress married a charming but dead broke socialite. A few weeks later she dies under suspi-cious circumstances. Many people think the hus-band did it. Years later Steve Bouser, editor of the Southern Pines Pilot, tracked down the details. He tells the story of what he found in “Death of a Pine-hurst Princess: The 1935 Elva Statler Davidson Mystery.” (July 29,31)
North Carolina books for summer reading
The Cost to Taxpayers
of Missing Fathers
With Father’s Day coming up, we should ponder the sad plight of the 20 million American chil-
dren who are growing up without their fa-thers in the home. In 1993, Charles Murray identiied “illegitimacy as the single most important social problem of our time … be-cause it drives everything else.”
Murray was whistling in the wind. Last year, the U.S. illegitimacy rate had grown to 41 percent, and among whites it was 29 percent.
Prior to Lyndon Johnson’s War on Pov-erty, husbands and fathers provided for their families. The 1.7 million out-of-wedlock babies born last year and their unmarried moms now look to Big Brother as their i-nancial provider.
The left is content to let this problem persist because 70 percent of unmarried women voted for Barack Obama for president. They vote for the party that offers the richer subsidies.
Means-tested welfare handouts cost federal taxpayers $700 billion last year (not counting programs into which people pay, such as Social Security and Medicare). Spending by the states raises the annual total to nearly $900 billion — more than we are spending on national defense — and most of these programs subsidize non-marriage.
The 77 means-tested programs include Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, housing subsidies, Medicaid, day-care, WIC, EITC (which can be as much as $5,657 a year to low-income families), school lunches, school breakfasts, summer food, SSI, Head Start and S-CHIP. The Heritage Foundation estimates that these beneits amount to $16,800 per person in poverty.
Ronald Reagan’s advice is still on target. If we subsidize something, we’ll get more of it; if we tax it, we’ll get less.
The inancial subsidies that encourage non-marriage are the biggest reason why federal spending is out of control. There is no way to make signiicant cuts in the federal deicit unless we address the marriage-ab-sence problem.
Poverty is massively greater for children living with a single, divorced or cohabiting parent than with parents who are married to each other. The poverty rate for single parents with children is 37 percent, but only 6 percent for married couples with children.
Marriage breakdown is a double-edged sword. At the same time that it forces government to become the inancial provider for millions of chil-dren and their caregivers, it also reduces the government’s tax receipts to pay for the handouts.
Income tax day now divides us into two almost equal classes: those who pay for government services and freeloaders.
In 2009, 47 percent paid no federal income taxes, and the bottom 40 percent receive cash or beneits inanced by the 53 percent who do pay income taxes.
Among other unfortunate effects, the trends toward non-marriage and toward same-sex marriage are a direct attack on fathers. The bond be-tween a child and his mother is an obvious fact of nature, but marriage is the relationship that establishes the link between a child and his father.
There are many causes for the dramatic reduction in marriage, start-ing with unilateral divorce, which spread across the United States in the 1960s and ’70s, putting government on the side of marriage breakup. Then came the legalizing of abortion, diminishing the custom of shot-gun marriages, which in earlier years was often the response to surprise pregnancies.
The feminist notion that women should be independent of men, fol-lowed by afirmative-action/female quotas in employment, tended to car-ry out the goal stated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that the concept of husband-breadwinner and wife-homemaker “must be eliminated.” These feminist ideas and practices demean marriage by discriminating against men and also against fulltime homemakers.
Since the federal government created the child-support bureaucracy, the majority of divorces have been initiated by women. They conidently expect that pro-feminist family courts will award them a steady income for which they will never be held accountable.
The more child support that divorced fathers are ordered to pay, the more federal funds low through the hands of the states, which compete for federal bonuses given to states that collect the most child support. It is proitable to state bureaucrats to make sure that fathers are permitted to see their own children only a few days per month so support payments can be set at the highest possible level.
Women have discovered they can use a request for an Order of Pro-tection against their husband as “the gamesmanship of divorce” (in the words of the Illinois Bar Journal) in order to get sole child custody plus generous so-called child support. It’s easy to get such orders without any evidence of abuse or even a threat, without notice to the husband and with no danger of prosecution for perjury.
Federal and state laws and subsidies that undermine marriage are the biggest iscal as well as cultural issue of our times.

As your American Cancer Society staff partner, I would like to thank residents of Yadkin County for their generosity and support of this year’s Relay for Life. Thirty-four teams participated in this year’s event and raised more than $80,000 so far, to help the Society’s ight for every birthday, threatened by every cancer, here and throughout the world.
This outstanding show of support proves that the people of Yadkin County stand shoulder-to-shoul-der with the American Cancer Society to achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by inding cures, and ighting back. A storm passed over and threat-ened to put a damper on our Relay For Life event but participants waited it out in their cars, and we resumed activities beginning with a Spectacular Luminaria ceremony. Our event lasted through the night as teams chose to continue walking to honor those who battle or have battled cancer, remember-ing that Cancer Doesn’t Sleep!
We were honored to be joined by survivors from all over the county, who walked the opening Sur-vivors Lap, oficially kicking off this year’s event. These survivors are the reason we continue the ight. Their participation inspires hope in those cur-rently battling cancer.
A special thanks to the many Relay For Life vol-unteers who worked to make this event a success – celebrating the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and pledg-ing to ight back against this disease. The Relay For Life committee did an outstanding job of putting this event together. We are so thankful to those who were on the scene and behind the scene, months prior to and the day of the event.
We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s corporate sponsors. Relay For Life would not be possible without them.
You may get involved with Relay For Life at any time. Check out RelayForLife.org or call 1-800-227-2345 for more information. Anyone wishing to still make a donation toward this event, may do so online at www.relayforlife.org/yadkinnc or mail a donation to American Cancer Society, Attention: Karlen Boring 4A Oak Branch Drive Greensboro, N.C. 27407. Please Memo: Yadkin County Relay For Life. Anyone who would like help in the plan-ning of next year’s event may reach me at [email protected] or 336-501-2726.
Together, we will continue this ight!Sincerely,
Allison Reeves
LETTER TO THE EDITOR

“The programs at New Hori-zons are for adults 18 and over,” Social Worker for the center Jer-ry Motsinger said. “The clients we serve are here from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. and participate in develop-mental disabled or challenged activities, and some who are physically able work in the thrift store or out in the community with a crew who works a clean-ing service. For those physically able who wish to work, this al-
lows them to earn an income.“The funds raised through the
thrift store allow us to purchase supplies for art projects, take the clients to movies and the library,” he said. “We are able to provide transportation to the YMCA for those who can use the pool and other activities that they can enjoy and participate in.”
New Horizons does not offer physical or occupational therapy to the clients.
“Our center allows for parents or family members to have a safe and active environment for their loved ones with a special need,” Motsinger said. “For some, this allows the managing family mem-ber an opportunity to work out-side of the home. The funding for some of their care comes from the area mental health programs. We have approximately 30 clients at any given time.
“If we have a client come in who needs additional special care, we are able to hire an additional worker for that particular client.”
Clients also participate in the Yadkin County Special Olympics where they participate in different sports activities throughout the year.

National Just Ask Day 2011Nineteen million parents are ask-
ing. Are you?ASK is a national public health
initiative that provides something real every parent can do to keep their chil-dren safe. The ASK campaign encour-ages parents to ASK if there are guns in the homes where their children play. It is a simple idea that is undoubtedly saving lives.
ASK if there are guns in the homes where your children play. If the an-swer is No, that’s one less thing you have to worry about. If the answer is Yes, make sure all guns are stored, unloaded and locked, ideally in a gun
safe, with ammunition locked sepa-rately.
The Yadkin County Health De-partment has agreed to participate in National Just ASK Day on Tuesday, June 21. The Center to Prevent Youth Violence, in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, cre-ated the ASK (Asking Saves Kids) campaign in an effort to decrease the number of children who die or are injured each year due to improperly stored irearms.
Every year, thousands of children are killed or seriously injured as a re-sult. In North Carolina alone, there are
more than 168,000 children and teens living in homes with loaded guns, and more than 82,000 live in homes with guns that are loaded and unlocked.
The Yadkin County Health Depart-ment is distributing Just ASK Bro-chures to all parents visiting the clinic on June 21st. The brochure contains information about how to start a con-versation with other parents to keep our children safe. For more informa-tion about National Just ASK Day, please see www.AskingSavesKids.org or contact Jessica Cooper at the Yadkin County Health Department at 336-679-4203.
Camp Raven Knob to host open camp dayCamp Raven Knob welcomes all Eagle Scouts, former camp staff, and families to an
open house to show camp and improvementsThe Old Hickory Coun-
cil of Boy Scouts will host an afternoon of food and fun for area Eagle Scouts (of all ages), former Camp Raven Knob staff, and their families on Satur-day, June 25 and July 23, at Camp Raven Knob in Mount Airy. The camp will open at 2 p.m. for tours and Scout activities followed by a cookout at 6 p.m. These events will conclude with a brief presentation about the campaign for improving and renovating Camp Raven Knob.
All Eagle Scouts, re-gardless of where the in-dividual earned their Eagle Award, are invited to at-tend as well as any individ-ual that formerly served as a staff memmber of Camp Raven Knob.
In April of 2011, Old Hickory Council of Boy Scouts announced a $2.9 million capital campaign to expand and improve facili-ties at Camp Raven Knob, located near Dobson, North Carolina. The theme of the campaign is “Because the World Needs Scouting
More Than Ever.”In making the announce-
ment in April, Old Hickory Council executive board president Alan Proctor said, “Camp Raven Knob is one of the largest-attend-ed Boy Scout camps in the nation. Last year’s summer camp attracted Scouts from throughout North Carolina and 12 states. Attendance topped 4,300 – double the number from 10 years ago. Improvements and invest-ment in Camp Raven Knob are desperately needed to keep up with the pace of growth.”
John Medlin, Jr., re-tired former chairman and CEO of Wachovia Bank, is the campaign’s Honor-ary Chair, and Dr. Richard Dean, retired president and CEO of Wake Forest Uni-versity Health Sciences, is the Campaign Chair. “I believe it is more impor-tant now than ever that the education and experiences Scouting provides be nur-tured,” Dr. Dean said. “The campaign has been enthu-siastically received by ev-eryone thus far.”
An emphasis on out-door activities is one of the characteristics that sets Boy Scouts of America apart from other youth pro-grams. This emphasis is a key component of Scout-ing’s plan to develop self-conidence, leadership, teamwork, life skills, and a positive attitude toward lifetime achievement and learning.
Major improvements to Camp Raven Knob in-cluded in the “Because the World Needs Scouting More Than Ever” cam-paign are:
A new irst aid itness and wellness center which would replace the current health lodge that was built in 1956 to serve 150 camp-ers per week. Today, there may be up to 1,000 camp-ers a week at Camp Raven Knob. The current building offers little privacy and can only handle one Scout at a time.
A new climbing tower and challenge adventure course to replace the cur-rent climbing tower that was built more than 20
years ago but does not meet current safety standards.
A new and expanded swimming area to provide a safe and fun environment for this high demand area.
An equestrian area.The acquisition of sev-
eral properties near the camp to protect from en-croaching development.
Numerous infrastruc-ture improvement projects including campsite well and water storage, road and parking areas, emergency communication systems and a new logistics and maintenance center.
There’s no charge for attending, but to reserve a meal for the Camp Raven Knob Open House for Ea-gle Scouts and camp staff alumni, please email HY-PERLINK “mailto:[email protected]” [email protected] or call the Old Hickory Coun-cil at 336-760-2900.

Grandfather Mountain Highland Games July 7 - 10The 56th Annual Grandfather
Mountain Highland Games and Gathering of Scottish Clans brings the color of hundreds of tartan plaids and the clamor of half a doz-en bagpipe bands to the North Car-olina Highlands Thursday through Sunday, July 7-10.
The Grandfather Games are considered America’s grandest Games because of the spectacular mountain setting that is so remi-niscent of Scotland. The deep blue peaks of 6,000-foot Grandfather Mountain tower above a meadow ringed by 167 red, blue, yellow and green striped tents. The color is augmented by thousands of Scots decked out in their inest tar-tan plaids, and the energy is ampli-ied by the sounds of bagpipes and kettledrums echoing across the moor.
The Highland Games begin Thursday afternoon, July 7, with a sheep dog demonstration, Celtic entertainment, the running of “The Bear,” and the opening ceremo-nies. Many people choose to bring a picnic dinner or buy concessions at the Meadows to enjoy during the evening events.
The opening ceremonies begin at dusk with a torchlight ceremony where representatives of each of the 120 clans announce their fam-ily’s participation in the gathering. This “raising of the clans” pro-claims that they have once again come together to celebrate their heritage.
Prior to the torchlight ceremo-ny, 800 runners will participate in a ive-mile footrace called “The Bear” that climbs 1,568 feet in elevation from the town of Lin-ville to the summit of Grandfather Mountain.
Returning this year on Friday, July 8, is the Grizzly Bike Ride, a challenging route with 7,000 feet of climbing completed over 65
miles. The ride begins at Grandfa-ther Mountain with cyclists travel-ing throughout Avery County, in-cluding a two-mile dirt road up the backside of Beech Mountain.
Completing the trifecta of ex-treme physical challenges is the 43rd running of the Grandfather Mountain Marathon on Satur-day, July 9. A special prize will be awarded to athletes who complete all three grueling events.
Friday, Saturday, and Sun-day are illed with competition in heavy-weight Scottish athletic events; highland dancing com-petition; bagpipe band parades; piping, drumming and harp com-petitions; sheep herding demon-strations by Scottish border collies and concerts featuring a wide vari-ety of Celtic music.
At the center of the activity, the nation’s top Scottish athletes clash in traditional heavyweight events such as “Turning the Caber” and “Tossing the Sheaf.” The irst re-quires an athlete to lip a telephone-pole-sized tree trunk end-over-end and the second challenges athletes to loft a 16-pound sack of hay over a cross bar more than 20 feet above the ground. Other ancient tests of strength awaiting the brawny pro-fessionals are highland wrestling, putting the stone, the hammer throw and various weight throws.
On Friday night, the Celtic Jam highlights traditional and contem-porary Celtic music at MacRae Meadows and on Saturday night the Celtic Rock Concert serves up encore performances from some of the higher energy bands.
Among the performers at the Celtic Jam and Celtic Rock Concert on Friday and Saturday nights, and in the Celtic Groves each day are Rathkeltair, Brother, Davey Ramone Morrison, Cut-throat Shamrock, Mother Grove, and Saor Patrol. More traditional
Appalachian and Celtic folk mu-sicians appearing at the Games include Jill Chamblis and Scooter Muse, Chelsea House Orchestra, Marcille Wallis, Lisa Lynn and George Tortorelli, Celtic Connec-tions, Blessed Blend and George Hamilton IV.
In addition to the many activi-ties taking place at MacRae Mead-ows, there will be a Scottish Coun-try Dance Gala at Lees-McRae College on Friday night.
Among the many sights and sounds of Scotland to be found on MacRae Meadows throughout the weekend is the popular open-air market set up adjacent to the
parade grounds. Merchants sell Gaelic and tartan gift items while concessionaires sell Scottish meat pies to give visitors a taste of the highlands. There is also a tent set up to help guests trace their Scot-tish roots and learn more about their heritage.
Tickets and information are available online at www.gmhg.org. Parking is available on site at the Games ield Thursday and Friday on a irst-come, irst-serve basis with overlow parking at shuttle lots in Linville. Public parking is not available at the ield on Saturday and Sunday. Shuttle service is provided be-
tween MacRae Meadows and satellite parking areas in Linville, Newland and Boone. The Boone shuttle runs Saturday only and the Newland shuttle runs every day but Sunday. Shuttle fees vary de-pending on the distance between the lots and MacRae Meadows.
Tickets to the off-mountain evening events vary by event. For more information, call 828-733-1333 or visit online at www.gmhg.org.

Dobson, NC – June 10, 2011. Each year, the N.C. Community College Sys-tem (NCCCS), measures eight performance indica-tors from the 58 commu-nity colleges. The eight measures include the prog-ress of basic skills students; passing rates on licensure and certiication for irst-time test takers; perfor-mance of college transfer students; passing rates in developmental courses; student satisfaction of com-pleters and non-completers; curriculum student reten-tion, graduation, and trans-fer; and client satisfaction with customized training. Surry Community College has achieved the exception-
al ranking for the second consecutive year.
SCC met all eight of the performance standards identiied by the NC Com-munity College System and is ranked as an exceptional community college for the 2010-11 year. SCC Presi-dent Dr. James Reeves said, “Exceptional performance begins with the excellent quality of students who attend Surry Community College. The faculty and staff support these students daily with quality instruc-tion and services that truly make a difference to them. Surry Community College has achieved a tradition of excellence and these results are a testament to our cur-
rent and past faculty and staff who worked hard to strengthen the tradition of academic success at SCC.”
Surry Community Col-lege maintained an aggre-gate institutional passing rate of 93 percent for licens-ing exam results which in-cluded Cosmetology, Reg-istered Nursing, Practical Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Basic Law En-forcement, and Emergency Medical Technician exam scores. One hundred and sixty-seven students sat for licensing exams with 155 successfully completing the tests. SCC Cosmetology students continued to attain a 100 percent pass rate on the cosmetology exam. The overall passing rate for the
Practical Nursing Exam was 96 percent.
Business and industry satisfaction with services provided also improved from 98 percent in last year’s report to 99 percent in the 2011 report. Accord-ing to Kevin Kimrey, Direc-tor of Business and Indus-try Services, “Workforce training is vital both to the recruitment and the success of industries in our area. The state’s Customized Training Program has been at the forefront of work-force training for decades, and activity in Surry and Yadkin counties proves that it is working successfully. We are recruiting quality industries to our area, and all of the industries in our area are thriving, due, in part, to the training Surry Community College pro-vides.”
Surry Community Col-lege also holds the rare distinction of meeting the performance measure for college transfer students since 2003. Connie Wolfe, Dean of Arts and Sciences explained, “All transfer stu-
dents are required to take a Transfer Success course during their irst semester which provides focused instruction on study skills, writing and thinking skills, and educational planning. Students in this class com-plete a strategic plan for transfer success which re-quires them to think care-fully about their goals and plan ahead so they can meet those goals. SCC balances high standards with aca-demic support to prepare all students for the rigors of university-level course work.”
Surry’s academic pro-gram continues to maintain a record of excellence. Dr. Jami Woods, Vice President for Curriculum Programs said, “SCC places a pre-mium on teaching a high percentage of courses with full-time faculty. Approxi-mately 70 percent of SCC’s courses are taught by full-time faculty and these edu-cators are highly competent in their ields, possessing advanced degrees. They are motivated, life-long learn-ers who stay current in their
ield through extensive pro-fessional development.”
Dr. Anne Hennis, Vice President of Planning, Re-search, and Assessment said, “Surry Community College continues to be a highly ranked community college. This year we were one of twelve community colleges within the NC Community College Sys-tem to attain the exception-al ranking. We are pleased with our results, but we realize the need to continu-ously monitor and adjust our programs so that they are meeting the identiied standards. We have also been identiied as one of the top 120 community col-leges in the nation, which positions SCC in the top 10 percent of community colleges. SCC provides an excellent value for students who wish to remain in the area and complete a certii-cation, a certiicate, diplo-ma, or an associate degree. The citizens of Surry and Yadkin Counties are fortu-nate to have such a qual-ity educational institution within their service area.”

Surry Community College Classes Once a WeekPower Monday’s allow for less travel to campus
Surry Community College is empowering students to earn a full semester of credit toward an Associates in Arts degree while only traveling to campus one night per week.
The college is launching “Power Mondays” for the fall semester, featuring a sequence of hybrid courses that meet for 50 minutes each week. Further instruction is provided online the remainder of the week. Stu-dents will save time and money. The schedule of courses will be
offered between 4-9:50 p.m., providing lexibility for students who are balancing education with employment.
Power Monday courses pro-vide three transferable credit hours toward an Associate in Arts degree, a program designed for students interested in trans-ferring to a four-year institution. The Power Monday schedule for the fall semester includes the following: 4-4:50 p.m., CIS 110: Intro to Computers; Dinner Break; 6 - 6:50 p.m., PSY 150:
General Psychology; 7 - 7:50 p.m., Choice of SOC 210: Intro to Sociology or BUS115: Busi-ness Law I. 8 - 8:50 p.m., ENG 111: Expository Writing; 9 - 9:50 p.m., MAT 140: Survey of Math-ematics.
All of the courses are offered at SCC’s main campus in Dobson with CIS 110 also being offered through video conferencing at the Yadkin Center in Yadkinville.
SCC offers dozens of hybrid courses each semester that com-bine traditional classroom in-
struction with the interactivity of an online course. Students meet with instructors face-to-face to complete labs and hands-on ac-tivities. They can then access instructor lectures and complete class assignments at their conve-nience online.
The hybrid format is ideal for dedicated, self-motivated students with busy schedules; courses offer the lexibility of 24-hour access from home, of-ice, or campus. They include a course website, textbooks, mul-
timedia content, online and in-class discussions, and collabora-tive assignments. SCC provides a free, web-based email account through which students can com-municate with their instructors.
The Power Monday courses, like all SCC hybrid courses, re-quire that students attend the irst day of class. They are open to both irst-year and returning stu-dents. For registration or more information contact the student development ofice at 336-386-3264.

Starmount’s Bryant inks with MethodistCHRIS SIERS
SPORTS WRITER
As with any graduating high school senior, Starmount’s M.J. Bryant faced a tough decision with choosing a col-lege to attend after the 2011 commencement. Throw in the added complexity of playing NCAA football and it makes the decision even more dificult.
After much deliberation, Bryant inally realized his path and signed his letter of intent to play football with Method-ist in the fall.
“I went to Elon, I went to Appalachian State, and I went down to Methodist, and, out of all three, I seemed to like Methodist. It seemed like I was right at home,” Bryant said.
On his trip to Methodist, Bryant felt an immediate con-nection with his new coaches.
“They were really nice to me and they seemed really humbled to see me,” Bryant said.
Although Bryant made his initial trip to Methodist a few months back, his new coaches still keep in regular contact with him to help make his transition from Starmount to Methodist a smooth process. “The coaches still call me to see how I’m doing and to see if I need anything or if I need to ask any questions,” he said.
While he still has several months before his college de-but, Bryant has already began thinking about how he will contribute to the football team.

Starmount class offers
hands-on opportunitiesSTAFF REPORTS
In this day and age, providing students with as many hands-on op-portunities as possible is essential to learning.
Sports and Entertainment Mar-keting, a class offered at Starmount High School, provides students with several hands-on opportunities in the ield of sport and entertainment mar-keting. One project the class took on was organizing and running the irst Sport and Entertainment Marketing 1 (SEM1) Cornhole Tournament, which was held at the high school on May 27.
Cornhole is a relatively new game where teams of partners toss bags full of corn on to boards with a hole in the middle trying to reach 21 points before the other team. The event was planned, developed and implemented by the class to provide a real-world lesson on holding an event and the impact it could have on the local economy. While pre-
paring for the event, members of the class researched the equipment necessary, secured the materials to make the boards and bags for corn-hole, and consulted volunteers to help make the boards and bags.
In addition to acquiring the sup-plies, the class also set up brackets for the 53-team ield, held signups, sold tickets, created lyers, and learned to score and time each ses-sion. The class also discussed plans with the school’s administration and received permission to hold the event in the school’s gym.
Starmount’s shop class helped with the project by constructing the boards used in the tournament while the art class helped paint the boards with the Starmount High School logo. Mrs. Melanie Matthews, along with FACS teachers, helped by mak-ing the bags used in the tournament. In addition to the SEM1, shop and art classes, many other students and staff helped with the scoring and timing of each game.
In the tournament, the two-mem-ber teams could sign up to play in the tournament for $10, while other students were allowed to watch the game by paying $1 in advance or $2 at the door on the day of the event. After the bulk of the teams had been knocked out of the tournament, the inals came down to a team of stu-dents against a team of teachers, with the students prevailing. Rusty Wood and Dillon Bray defeated Coach Peoples and Coach Hortnon to be crowned as the champions of the event.
The class raised $525 from the proceeds of the event, and the mon-ies were donated to former Star-mount student Meme Brown to aid her battle against cancer. Brown also participated in the tournament with her father David Brown. Ear-lier this year, the meeting between Starmount’s softball team and rival Forbush raised and donated funds for Brown as well during the annual Strike Out Cancer Night.
Dash president visits
Starmount Sport and
Entertainment Marketing classSTAFF REPORTS
As part of the hands-on learning experience in Star-mount’s Sports and Entertainment Marketing class, various speakers and hands-on projects help enhance the learning process.
One such speaker who recently visited with the class was former Surry County resident and sports star, Win-ston-Salem Dash president Geoff Lassiter. Lassiter is the spokesperson and public face for the Dash organization. Lassiter visited Starmount back in April and spoke to Mrs. Melanie Matthews’ Sport and Entertainment Marketing 1 class about combining marketing strategies with the sports industry.
He explained how “old school baseball” and “new school baseball” are set up completely different from each other. Today, customers (fans) want more than just the sport itself, but also the entertainment as well. Bearing this in mind, the Dash organization works diligently to provide the great baseball for the sport side, but also tries to entertain their fans and ensure they have a great ballpark experience. Dur-ing the discussion with the class, Lassiter also explained how he became the Dash president and he discussed the internship program with the organization as well. Although the subject matter Lassiter provided the class directly re-lated to the class’ curriculum, it still was just a classroom lecture.
So, the next day, the students in the class loaded up and experienced a day at the ballpark watching the Dash play the Frederick Keys. During the trip, students had the chance to observe marketing strategies used before and during a

NASCAR This WeekGramps vs. the Brat
MONTE DUTTON
Let us consider the strange case of Richard Childress and Kyle Busch.
Childress is the last ves-tige — full-time, anyway — of old school in NAS-CAR team ownership. He and Dale Earnhardt made a perfect match. Childress interacted as easily with Bud Moore and Junior Johnson as he now does with Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske. Childress’s success is grounded in the way that he manages to
bridge the generations.The younger Busch
brother is Thoroughly Mod-ern Kyle. He is wondrously talented and self-centered. Sometimes people insist on comparing him to Earn-hardt, which is akin to com-paring Tim Linecum to Bob Gibson. If Kyle Busch is his generation’s Dale Earn-hardt, his generation has re-ally changed.
Though I rather like both men, they obviously do not care for each other.
I like Childress for the qualities described above.
This former racer, who built his empire by hand, is about as adept as dealing with the media as anyone I’ve encountered. He has an in-stinctive knack for handling the various issues that con-front his team.
I like Kyle Busch be-cause he isn’t a phony. I may disagree with him. In fact, at times, I may consid-er him a brat. But he isn’t afraid to be himself, and has the strength of convic-tion not to worry unduly about what others think. He adds spice to NASCAR.
The sport needs a bad boy. The NFL needs the Oakland Raiders (and some even re-member them).
As sensible as Childress is, and as closely watched as Kyle Busch is, somehow things went crazy after the Camping World Truck Se-ries race in Kansas. Busch’s Toyota had traded licks with a Childress Chevy, one driven by Joey Coulter, and then Busch had roughed up the kid a bit during the cool-down lap. Busch had

“I asked Coach Williams, the offen-sive coordinator, where were they going to put me. He said basically ‘M.J. you’re pretty good at what you do. You can choose whether you want to be a fullback or a line-backer.’ I like to play a linebacker. I’ve got the mentality of a linebacker. I’ve played linebacker all my life. I don’t know if I’ll start the irst year, but I’ll have to work my way through that,” Bryant said.
Bryant will have to compete against the upperclassmen in the summer camps and in practice to earn a starting position with Methodist.
In addition to knowing where he wants to play on the ield, Bryant also has a major picked out for a course of study.
He plans to pursue a degree in mathe-matics and eventually be a teacher some-day. “I’ve talked about being a math teach-er because I’m really good with numbers and I like to do math. It’s either between that or being a physical education teacher,” Bryant said.
Keeping in mind where he is going, Bry-ant never forgets where he began playing and where his love for the game originated.
“I’ve been playing football since second grade. I played for Jonesville until eighth grade and then I came up here,” he said.
In addition to playing football at the ser-toma level, Bryant also spent many years watching family members play for Star-mount before he got the opportunity to don his Ram uniform.
“I have a lot of people to thank— all my coaches from second grade until now, in-cluding all my j.v. and varsity coaches,” he said.
Bryant, along with teammate Jake Barr, helped lead the Rams to building one of the dominate football teams in the area. But his relationship with his teammates went be-yond the blood and sweat shed on the ield. Bryant and Barr often reminisce about their
memories shared while playing for Star-mount.
“Every chance, we talk about it. Some of the good memories and bad. Family is a big key to our team. I think that’s what came together for us more than anything—friendship, family and determination,” he said. Last season, the Rams earned a per-fect conference record, and helped lead the Rams to an undefeated regular season.
Although he has several fond memories of his time at Starmount, one stands slightly above the rest.
“Right now, the only one that sticks out for me is when I scored the touchdown in the fourth quarter at Wilkes Central. I put my hands up and was really happy I helped my team win the game. I have a lot of other memories where I made big hits and game changing moments,” he said.
For Starmount Coach Scott Johnson, a few fond memories stand out about Bry-ant’s efforts on-ield.
“Talking about memories—my memory of him (Bryant) was when he moved up as a sophomore during football season. He didn’t believe what we were telling him. He didn’t believe how good he could be. We were pretty hard on him and the kids were pretty hard on him. So between his sophomore and junior year in the summer we would go out and start our on-ield work doing some tackling drills with no pads on which was mostly footwork. And he was being a little more aggressive than he ought to be. So after two or three they were like ‘You’ve got to make M.J. stop.’ And I told them, ‘As much as he’s put up with you guys better get used to it,” Johnson said.
But beyond going beyond Bryant’s natu-ral ability in the game, Johnson commented on Bryant’s character.
“What a lot of people don’t realize is what a good fellow this guy is. He’s got great character and he’s a hard worker. He wants to do good. He’s going to do well at Methodist. I feel like what he showed be-tween his sophomore and junior year, if he gets his mind right and what a good person he is, he’s going to do well,” Johnson said.

Dash baseball game. While students were able to enjoy food and the game, they also observed many other activities going on throughout the game via fan interaction. Other activities available at the game were
the Childress Institute Kids’ Zone, 360-de-gree concourse, hospitality and group ar-eas, the LED display board and Bolt, the mascot for the Dash.
“This is a great experience to witness what students are learning in the classroom and watch it play out on the ield. Students were able to better understand class topics and objectives because they actually ob-served marketing taking place. This was a great trip and experience,” Matthews said.

roughed up another Childress Chevy, the one assigned to Busch’s foil Kevin Har-vick, after a Sprint Cup race at Darlington.
The latter incident apparently led the 65-year-old Childress to mutter, or think, something along the lines of “enough is enough,” probably with at least one epithet added. Apparently, the resulting incident wasn’t caught on tape, so it may be some-thing like the dime novels of the Old West. Though what happened may be exagger-ated, it can reliably be reported that Chil-dress, in some form, attacked Busch.
Childress, being Childress, apparently handled the situation that arose after the sit-uation — that being his closed-door meet-ing with NASCAR oficials — with charac-teristic aplomb, having had time to retrieve his right mind. He paid a ine, and they put him on probation.
Probation. Let me deine it for the ump-
teenth time. In NASCAR, it’s a serious-sounding word that means “nothing.” Here’s one more shred of evidence.
Long before handing down the slap to Childress’s wrist, NASCAR absolved Busch of blame. On race morning at Kan-sas Speedway, word spread that Busch’s ac-tions “would not affect his probation.”
How can this be so?Busch was on probation for his role in
an incident in which he bumped another car after the Darlington race. How could bumping another, well, truck, after a Kan-sas race “not affect his probation”?
I’m not after Kyle Busch. I igure he’s got enough of a headache with M&Ms, one of his sponsors (do they melt in your mouth, or do you get belted in the mouth?), without having another meaningless level of probation thrown in.
But the whole reaction makes NASCAR look, yet again, like a mountain.

Smart Start Reaction to Gov. Perdue’s VetoStatement by Dr. Olson Huff, Chair of the Board of The North Carolina
Partnership for Children, Inc.Raleigh – “In vetoing
the budget, Governor Per-due told North Carolinians that our children must be the irst priority. She said no to a budget that slashes numerous programs that children need, including the state’s early childhood system that serves as a model throughout the coun-try. The 20 percent cuts to Smart Start and More at Four place a disproportion-ate share of the sacriice on our youngest children—those at an age where the brain is literally being built
and the foundation for all learning is established. The experiences that children have in their earliest years literally shape the archi-tecture of their brains and strongly affect whether they grow up to be produc-tive, contributing members of society.
Both Smart Start and More at Four produce im-portant results for North Carolina, including ensur-ing that more children are reading by third grade and creating and sustaining jobs. Earlier this year, Duke
University released a study showing that all North Car-olina third-graders have higher standardized read-ing and math scores and lower special education placement rates in counties that received more funding for Smart Start and More at Four when those children were younger. In the imme-diate, these programs sus-tain hundreds of thousands of jobs, generate billions of dollars, allow employees to be productive, attract busi-ness to our state, and lay the groundwork for North
Carolina’s economic fu-ture. Long-term, children who receive high-quality early childhood education are more likely to gradu-ate from high school, own a home, have savings, and commit fewer crimes than their peers. Investing in developing healthy, smart and productive children is a iscally responsible way to reduce deicits and cre-ate growth.
We applaud the Gover-nor for her decisive action for our children.”
Gov. Perdue vetoes the General Assembly’s
budget, calling it a step backward for N.C.Gov. Bev Perdue vetoed the state budget plan passed by the General Assembly
FROM THE OFFICE OF
GOV. BEV PERDUE
Below is the message Gov. Bev Perdue delivered from the Old Senate Cham-ber of the State Capitol building and attached to the bill.
For generations, we, North Carolina, have distin-guished ourselves from oth-er southern states as a place of opportunity, and a place that understands the value of investing in our people.
Education has been our hallmark – the one area that set us apart from our neigh-bors and propelled our eco-nomic success.
From the high chair to the rocking chair, every North Carolinian has been given the opportunity for a quality education — from early childhood, K-12, community colleges and through our colleges and universities. This is the commitment we have made to our people because, quite simply, it’s what we believe in.
We have lived our values – until now.
Now, for the irst time, we have a legislature that is turning its back on our schools, our children, our longstanding investments in education and our future economic prospects.
Under this budget:• We will overlook many
of our most at-risk pre-school children by slash-ing Smart Start and More at Four, leaving these kids behind before they’ve even started Kindergarten;
• Classrooms will be un-derfunded in K-12, forcing local school districts to lay off thousands of teachers and teaching assistants who will then be added to the unemployment rolls; and
• In our community col-leges and universities, pro-grams will be shut down, tuition may be raised, ca-reer training and college degrees will be further out of reach, there will be fewer class offerings and students will take longer to graduate.
This budget will result in generational damage. It tears at the very ibers that make North Carolina strong – not only our schools, but also our communities, our environment, our public safety system and our abil-ity to care for those who need us most.
• Our most vulnerable and sick will see medical and mental health services cut or eliminated;
• Families will have few-er resources as they care for their elderly, their disabled or their mentally ill;
• The natural environ-mental treasures that we cherish and that draw so many visitors to North Carolina will be at risk of permanent damage or de-struction;
• Historical sites that at-tract tourists and stimulate economic activity by com-memorating our rich cultur-al heritage will be closed;
• Our ability to prepare for and recover from disas-ters such as tornados and hurricanes may be ham-pered; and
• These cuts would be
devastating when we have a more than active hurricane season predicted.
• Fewer law enforce-ment oficers will patrol our streets and supervise con-victed felons, while victims will be forced to wait lon-ger for justice.
In the days since the General Assembly’s bud-get reached my desk, I’ve traveled the state listening to parents and grandpar-ents, teachers and superin-tendents, business people, community leaders and law enforcement oficials. I saw worry in their eyes;
I heard frustration in their voices. These are peo-ple who, like me, are proud to call North Carolina home because of what we believe in as a people; because of our legacy of smart choices and planning for the future. They spoke to me not as Democrats or Republicans, Tea Partiers or Indepen-dents. They came to me as North Carolinians, and they asked me to stand up for what is right for our chil-dren and grandchildren, for what moves North Carolina forward, not backward.
They know that much of (the) damage that this bud-get seeks to do is simply unnecessary. By extending less than a penny of the sales tax, North Carolina can avoid severe cuts to our schools and other crucial programs.
These cuts were made by the legislature in this budget by choice. They chose to risk our children’s futures — for less than a penny.
For weeks I have cau-
tioned legislative leaders of the damage this budget will cause. Yes, these dificult economic times demand that we tighten our belt, make cuts and face up to hard choices.
The budget I submitted to the General Assembly in February did just that — but it also invested in our future. We cannot move North Carolina forward without both balance and reason. This budget pro-vides neither.
As I’ve reviewed the General Assembly’s plan for how North Carolina should run the next two years, (what) I’ve found is (a)ideologically driven budget that rips at our class-rooms and campuses, our environment and quality of life, our services for the needy and ill, and the safety of our streets and commu-nities. What message does that send to the people and businesses who are consid-ering a move to North Car-olina? The state’s budget is more than just a roadmap for how state agencies op-erate. It is a relection of the state’s values, of what we believe in.
I will not put my name on a plan that so blatantly ignores the values of North Carolina’s people. I cannot support a budget that sends the message that North Car-olina is moving backwards, when we have always been a state that led the nation.
The General Assembly may be satisied with a state in reverse, but I am not. Therefore, I veto this bill.
Hit the RoadPlan the ultimate family road trip
Family vacations are on the rise again and according to a recent Bing/Impulse Research survey, when plan-ning a vacation, people are equally as inluenced by the recommendations of their friends as they are by where out-of-town friends/family live.
If you’re going to hit the open road for a wedding, reunion or some fam-ily fun, here are the things you need to know to have the ultimate family road trip.
Get ReadyYou know that old saying that it’s
not about the destination, it’s about the journey? Keep that in mind when planning a road trip. It’s not about get-ting from point A to point B in record time - it’s about enjoying the little things along the way.
• Do your homework. A little trip prep can go a long way toward getting the family excited about the idea of a road trip. Find a good map, and re-search general information about your route. Highlight areas or attractions that appeal to your family’s interests and have pictures ready to show.
• Hold a family meeting. Get ev-eryone in on the fun by letting the family help plan the trip. Show them what you’ve already found and ask what they want to do on the trip. Consider letting each person be re-sponsible for planning one leg of the trip - from what attractions to see and where to eat, to ideas for things to do in the car. Get the feedback of your Facebook friends who live in your destination area, helping you make a more informed decision.
• Plan your stops. One of the big-gest mistakes road trip rookies make is driving too many miles in one day. Generally speaking, younger children won’t do well being in the car for more than six hours a day. So give yourself plenty of time for breaks by search-ing for rest stops, picnic grounds and parks along the way.
Get Set• Packing Checklist• Treats bag for each child (games,
favorite toys, books, music, drawing materials, etc.)
• Surprise distractions - keep a few fun items handy to use in times of need
• Pillows and blankets• Snacks and drinks• Small cooler for easy access up
front• Larger cooler with reill items,
stored in the back• First-aid kit• Road-side emergency kit• Wet wipes, paper towels or nap-
kins• Trash bags• Flashlight• Electronics charger and/or extra
batteries• Camera and video camera• Laundry bag for dirty clothes• Rolls of quarters (for tolls, gum-
ball machines, etc.)• Updated maps or navigation sys-
temIf you want to upgrade your cam-
era or GPS system for the trip, or are looking for other good travel gear, consider getting recommenda-tions and opinions from people you know and trust based on their “likes.” You can share your shopping list on Facebook to get feedback from your friends or compare with other prod-ucts on your wish list.
• Packing practice. A week before your trip, conduct a dry run by pack-ing the car with everything you plan on taking. Then have everyone take their places in the car, giving you a chance to see if you over-packed or need to rearrange things to make more room. • Car readiness. Make sure your car is in road-ready shape. AAA rec-ommends that you have a qualiied mechanic give it a thorough check-up to make sure it’s safe and in good run-ning order. If your car is on the small side, you may want to consider rent-ing a larger vehicle so everyone can ride comfortably.
GoHere are a few more tips for when
you inally hit the road:• Set a technology time budget.
Nothing can ruin family time like everyone spending all their time en-grossed in electronic devices. Set a time budget for everyone - adults in-cluded - that lets each of you enjoy your own music, games and movies without sacriicing your time together.
• Expect the unexpected. Give
yourselves time - and permission - to discover things not on your itinerary. Take that unplanned exit; stop and take pictures of a beautiful view; ask a local about interesting things to do. You never know what types of adven-tures are around the bend - be open to the possibilities.
Road Trip Resources• Search for travel-related informa-
tion.• Get fun road trip ideas with the
Road Trip Books series at www.road-tripusa.com.
• Discover family-friendly destina-tions at The Best of the Road (www.bestoftheroad.com), the National Trust for Historic Preservation (www.nationaltrust.org) or the National Parks Organization (www.national-parks.org).
• Enjoy the journey by inding out what’s along The Lincoln Highway (www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org) or Route 66 (www.national66.com). Have a safe, fun-illed trip and enjoy the view from the road.
