Deadline passes, but no truck permits issuedTrinity has yet to issue any truck

parking permits because they are not currently defined by ordinance, ex-plained City Manager Ann Bailie. The permits will be issued as soon as City Council decides what the permits will allow and amends the zoning ordinance to reflect that change.

BY ROBYN HANKINS

In September, City Council approved an ordinance which banned tractor trailer parking in residential neighborhoods. In February, Council members decided that

tractor trailers can be parked in residential areas with a permit. Truckers were given 30 days to apply for the permit.

However, the Sep-tember ordinance has not been amended to include the permits. Even though the 30-day period to apply for a permit has expired, Trinity staff members cannot issue any per-mits until the ordinance is amended.

“The permits have to be part of the or-dinance,” Bailie said last Thursday. “The ordinance will be adopted and then the per-

mits will be issued.“Staff is kind of in a holding pattern,” she

added. “We are taking the information, but not issuing permits.”

At the end of the March 16 meeting, after the regular agenda items had been discussed, Bailie requested an ex-tension to the deadline which would allow truck drivers to apply for a permit. The exten-sion would allow the

city staff to publicize the permits in the city’s spring newsletter and allow Council time to clarify precisely what is allowed by permit.

“I stand by my motion — 30 days,” answered Councilman Kelly Grooms, and the Council agreed.

Grooms’ original motion, made at the end of a heated discussion during the Feb. 16 meeting, allowed truck drivers to ap-ply for a permit within 30 days, provided the driver was the owner of the property where it would be parked. The deadline was March 18.

Even though the filing period has end-ed, the requirement drew opinions during the public comment portion of the meeting, which is held prior to Council’s discussion of agenda items. Each speaker is allowed three minutes to address the elected body.

Feet-going, hands-on art Trinity Elementary School students danced to steel drums and hip-hop music and tried layering techniques for collages at the heritage arts day held March 19. The children also enjoyed dem-onstrations and talks about wooden decoys, dog training, Civil War life, bonsai, pottery and many other activities. The all-day event was sponsored by the PTA and organized by teachers. In the photo above, students learn hip-hop moves from Bobbi’s School of Dance. In the photo left, Sid-ney O’Shields, left, and Tyler Williams try their hand at collage.

Archdale fees,garbage & recycling,

to remain steady

Archdale’s annual budget process is just begin-ning, but city leaders have decided one thing —

that garbage and recycling fees will stay the same.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS

At Archdale’s annual retreat, Finance Director Lori Nurse gave council members an update on the solid waste collection program. Before 2007, garbage bills weren’t enough and taxes subsidized garbage collection. Since 2007, the city has tried to pay for the program with the utility fees. Nurse said that it’s been hard to project costs because of factors like fluctuating fuel prices.

Nurse asked the Council if they want the waste program, which is still under the general fund, to be self-supporting and in a separate fund. Council may discuss that during their budget meetings.

The current waste collection contract goes through June 2013, which helps with budget planning. However, chang-ing landfill charges and a fluctuating market for recycla-bles, as well as fuel prices, make costs unpredictable.

In fiscal year 2008, 11 percent of Archdale’s total waste weight was recycled. The city paid $38 per ton, the same as for garbage.

This past year, residents doubled the recycled amount to about 22 percent. In January, the landfill fee was $0. In February, the city got paid $4 per ton of recyclables.

“It’s gotten better every single month,” said Nurse.The fees collected gave the city a surplus in 2008-2009,

but Nurse predicts that 2010 will see a shortfall. City lead-ers and staff hope that if they keep fees the same, every-thing will level out.

We don’t want to cut the price way back one year, and then raise it a lot higher the next year, said Councilman Lewis Dorsett.

“I think where we are now is about right,” said Council-man Eddie Causey.

Garbage and recycling cost residents $11 and $3, re-spectively.

“I don’t think there’s a service in the world that would do it for $14 a month,” Causey said. “And with the state putting in the restrictions with the plastic bottles and gar-bage like that, I think we’re ahead of the curve.”

Budget meetings for other items, such as water and sew-er fees and taxes, have not yet been scheduled.

Trinity museum in need of repairs

The wooden steps and porch have become soft. Water damage stains the ceiling of

an upstairs bedroom. The heating system needs repair and, when the back door closes, paint flakes off the frame.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

Repairs are desperately needed at the Trinity Historic House Museum at 7524 N.C. Hwy. 62, in the former home of Dr. Thomas Winslow. The home was donated in 2003 to the Trinity Historic

Preservation Society by Ella Richardson.“As with all buildings, ours is in constant need

of repairs,” said Eric Smith, president of the So-ciety. “At this time, we need to replace and paint doors and windows, patch holes in an outbuilding roof, do some electrical work and replace steps.”

“It’s something all the time when you are using a build-ing as old as this one is,” said

HPU prepares kids for YMCA soccerThe High Point Univer-

sity women’s soccer team helped youth in the Grubb Family YMCA soccer pro-gram prepare for opening day, March 20.

The free clinic was held Feb. 27 at the soccer complex in Trin-ity. About 100 kids learned from the defending Big South champi-ons.

“It was a very successful week-end,” Assistant Coach Brandi Fon-taine said. “This was a great way for our team to get out and get in-volved in the community. Clinics like this help to remind our players that soccer is more than a game to these kids. It is about having fun and being part of a team. It is very important for us to reach out to the people here. This helps teach the girls about the importance of giv-ing back to the community.”

The Panthers worked with the young players on several different soccer skills including passing, receiving and dribbling and also worked to improve their speed and agility.

The dog ate my census. Really.Participation in the census is re-

quired by law, so when I fi nally lo-cated my form, in a thousand pieces in my front yard, I knew I was in trouble.

You should send in your census form and be counted. Accurate numbers are re-quired to help your community receive part of $400 billion in federal funds which pro-vide for such things as hospitals, job train-ing centers, schools, senior centers ... yada, yada, yada.

Plus, there’s that required-by-law thing. My husband Ed and I re-

ceived our census form early last week. Thank goodness it was the short form, which only asked for our names, birthdays and verifi ed our address. It was no trouble at all to fi ll in. The next morning, I picked it up along with my usual assortment of items to go put in the mail ... at least, I thought I did.

Have I told you about my dog? Not Holly, the 16-year-old mutt dog who sleeps on the heating pad most of the time. I’m talking about Tippy, the 11-month-old German shep-herd mix. OK, she looked like a Tippy when she was 10 pounds, little and cute, like Holly.

On most days, Tippy rules over the front yard and barks at the UPS truck as it passes by. She wags her tail when George Payne, our mailman, comes by.

We have taught Tippy how to come, sit and lie down. She taught herself how to fetch. She fetches the mail and shreds it.

Let’s go back to the tragic scene where I discovered my census in a thousand pieces in the front yard.

I am so going to jail. Or at least get a visit from a friendly census worker, who will see my less-than-pristine house and

ask lots of questions, requiring me to look up all kinds of stuff.

I went online to the census Web site at http://2010.census.gov/2010census, which said, “If 100 percent of households mailed back their forms, taxpayers would save $1.5 billion.”

Let’s all do our part and mail back our forms! Great idea, I sighed.

One helpful little tab said: Need help with your form? Call our telephone ques-tionnaire assistance line.

Just what I needed! The recording said that

if I wanted assistance, I had to call another number, 1-866-872-6868.

Lo and behold, there wasn’t a human at that number, either. However, the helpful recording said, “If you need another form, dial 2.”

I punched in No. 2 and the recording then said, “Please enter your barcode number from your form.”

How am I going to enter my barcode number if my form is lost? I frantically look through the handful of shreds that I had rescued from the

yard. I would be happy to enter it, if I had a piece of the envelope big enough to read the numbers.

OK, they are so going to come and take me away. I won’t be able to participate in the survival weekend that Ed signed us up for in May because I’ll be in jail.

I hung up on the helpful recording and went back to the Web site.

In the frequently asked questions sec-tion, it read, “Can I fi ll out the form online? What if I don’t fi ll in the form? What if I make a mistake on the form? What if I lose my form?”

Looking at the pieces again, I said

“bingo!”The tab I clicked suggested that I call

the telephone questionnaire assistance cen-ter at 1-866-872-6868. Again, I navigatedthrough the prompts and fi nally got to a re-cording which was suited to my situation... except I was still asked for that bar codewhich Tippy consumed.

In panic mode, I went back to the Web site and clicked on a tab which instructedthose who did not receive a census form inthe mail to pick one up at various commu-nity locations.

I called the Archdale Pubic Library.As always they were very helpful. BranchManager George Taylor said that they hadjust received some. I drove to the library topick up another form.

Librarian Linda Hurley asked mewhether I would prefer a form in English,Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese orRussian.

The very next day, my completed form — in English — was on its way to be counted.

Whew. My bacon was saved and hope-fully I will not have to go to prison.

So when you get your census form, fi rstmake a copy of it and fi le in triplicate. Thenfi ll out that bad boy and put it in the mail.

Stand up and be counted ... except forTippy. Put down the mail, girl! Put it down!Good girl.

Chester Ayres, a vocal supporter of the original ordi-nance which banned truck parking and an opponent ofthe permits, said the original ordinance was passed tokeep residential areas residential.

“Issuing permits to truckers is like issuing permits tosmokers, they’re getting around the law,” Ayres told theCouncil. “I’m asking that these permits have a sunsetclause, that they expire on a specifi c date.”

A sunset clause terminates a law or portions of a lawafter a specifi c date unless further legislative action istaken.

Pam Goins just wanted to know why the Council would allow permits because it re-verses the original deci-sion to ban tractor-trailer parking in residential neighborhoods.

“The original ordi-nance was well thought out,” she said. “Why change it for a minority? If this is the way it goes, zoning laws are a joke. Theonly rights truckers have are the same as others — theright to use their home as a home.”

Mary Hiatt, a neighbor of Goins, agreed.Jerry Sturgis, another long-time supporter of the

truck parking ban, expressed his neighborhood’s dis-content with the permits.

“Our neighborhood feels you [City Council] havediscriminated against us!” Sturgis railed. “The truckernext door has an unpaid citation from the city for $1,250from when the ordinance was fi rst passed. This permit isgoing to wash that away!”

(Bailie confi rmed that the citation was issued and un-paid, but said the Council would make the fi nal decisionas to whether or not it must be paid when it determinespermit requirements.)

The truckers also had something to say during theMarch meeting.

“I understand (Pam Goins) and the others, thingsshould be handled differently,” Trent Wilmoth said.“I’m just trying to make an honest living. Why don’twe work things out as neighbors and stop wasting taxmoney?”

Tommy Wilmoth, Trent Wilmoth’s father, agreed,and added that the situation was ridiculous.

“You’re trying to bring (solutions for) heavily popu-lated areas into Trinity when this whole situation is overone group,” he complained. “Let’s set up a boxing ringand settle this!”

Wilmoth’s suggestion drew some applause from theaudience, but he was rebuked by Mayor Carlton Boylesfor violating procedure. According to Boyles, his sug-gestion was aimed at the audience and the rules of pub-lic comment require that those speaking only addressthe Council.

Ed Lohr, a vocal proponent of truckers’ right to park on their own property, was upset that the permits might do more than just allow existing trucks to keep parking.

“I came to the pre-agenda meeting and was shockedto hear that we can only have one truck per property,”he said.

Permit items tentatively agreed upon include annualrenewal of the permit, a specifi c defi nition of tractor andtrailer, allowing one tractor and no trailers per proper-ty, and allowing drivers to exchange or replace trucks.Drivers will have to provide a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) to be eligible.

It has not been decided if the truck owner must be theowner of the property where the truck is parked.

Bailie said the city would work out the details con-cerning the permits and ordinance at a special calledmeeting set for 4 p.m. today (March 25) at City Hall.

There will be no public comments at the meeting.

society member Fran Andrews.The society uses the home as a museum to collect and

preserve local historical artifacts, images and documents. Going inside is almost like stepping into a time machine.

Kitchen cabinets still have their 1940’s hardware. An upstairs room, set up like an 1800’s doctor’s offi ce, com-memorates Dr. Winslow. The children’s bedroom features a 100-year-old bed.

A mannequin dressed in full Naval uniform stands at attention in a room which showcases memorabilia of mili-tary service.

Mollie Jones’ favorite piece is a hanging pie safe in the kitchen.

Kenneth Orr, also a member of the Historic Preserva-tion Society, believes that the museum is a perfect place to display photographs, books, antiques and memorabilia from Trinity’s history.

“We have recently acquired Dr. Winslow’s journal,” he said. “It goes back to 1853. It is important to the commu-nity. It is almost a who’s who of the people who lived in Trinity.”

The journal adds vital understanding about the time period when Trinity College — which was the town’s name back then — was formed.

History most often is taught using books, but having the items arranged in a realistic way gives a three-dimensional viewpoint of what life was like long ago.

“The museum offers an elementary school child the chance to come in and see these things in the setting in which they were used,” Jones said. “We can say to that child, in your grandpappy and great-grandpappy’s day, people were doing real things in a real way, right here.”

The ceiling of an upstairs bedroom shows evi-dence of water damage.

A upstairs room fea-tures medical arti-facts, some from the era of Dr. Thomas Winslow, who built the house about 1855.

In addition to providing a safe place for the historic objects, the Winslow home itself serves as an example of Trinity’s history.

The oldest deed that can be found for the home is dated 1866, but the house is believed to have been constructed in the 1850s. However, the home has been altered.

“A wood-burning fi replace in the kitchen area, which they used for cooking, was closed in,” said Orr. “I would like to see it restored to its original state.”

The Trinity Historic Preservation Society operates sole-ly from fundraisers and donations. Members would love to add exhibit areas, but the priority now is basic mainte-nance and emergency repairs. The repairs must be made soon so that the Society can continue to have a safe place for all the artifacts.

Donations of funds, labor or supplies would be appreci-ated.

The society is a nonprofi t corporation. All donations are tax deductible. To make a donation, send a check to Trinity Historic Preservation Society, P.O. Box 777, Trinity NC 27370.

WisdomWisdom is a quality that is hard to define, though we usually know it when we see it, and almost always recognize its absence, which is folly. While it is often associated in literature with bearded, white-haired gurus who give sage advice, wisdom is essentially about having good judgement and perspective. Older people seem to have it simply because they have had more experiences, and they have been through the trials and tribulations of a long life. We sometimes say that young people are wise beyond their years, but in reality

no one who has not weathered the storms of time can truly be wise. But is it necessary to have suffered through sickness or the deaths of loved ones and various misfortunes to gain a deeper perspective on life, or do the ordinary stresses of a challenging career and relationships suffice to give one the necessary perspective that is considered wisdom??It is reported that Freud was once asked what a normal healthy person should be able to do, and he answered to love and to work. ?Perhaps the growth and maturity that comes from a life of loving and working is enough for most of us to develop that intangible quality we call wisdom.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.

Writer’s journey inspires othersCathy Weaver is fighting

breast cancer – a battle she shares.

“After the shock of learning I had breast cancer, I realized I needed a way to make something positive come out of this challenge,” said Weaver. “I’m a writer with breast cancer. Maybe, just maybe, something I’ve experienced will make an-other woman’s journey just a little bit simpler.”

The result is Chemo Field Trips, a blog with de-tails of a stage one breast cancer patient. Weaver, a former staff member of High Point Rgional Health Ssystem, has been docu-menting her experience

since Jan. 27. The blog was launched Feb. 15. The first, introductory entry depicts her life eight weeks after having her first surgery.

She describes the details of using different medica-tions, chemotherapy and even getting fitted for a wig. Chemo Field Trips is filled with useful and practical tips, such as write down and store passwords in a safe place because of “chemo brain.”

Often readers will find the “crazy tip of the day,” such as how to remove small hairs falling out due to chemo.

“I took a lint roller and rolled my scalp,” she ex-

plained. “It lifted a bunch of hairs off. It doesn’t hurt and I feel like that’s a few hundred hairs that aren’t going to fall on my neck and drive me nuts.”

‘Hit the gas’

Meet your neighbor ...

Sabrina Williford

Sabrina Williford leads a busy life as a wife, moth-er, bank manager and Communities In Schools

mentor. The petite dynamo relaxes by drag racing and then kicks back — literally — with Tae Kwon Do.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

On the track at Farmington Dragway in Mocksville, Sabrina revs up her 1983 Chevy S-10 for a test drive on the eighth-mile track.

It’s her, the road and an engine as she prepares for her fi rst race of the season on March 27.

Her husband, Chris, and dad, Roger Ferguson, watch.“All I could hear was my husband’s voice saying, ‘Hit

the gas!’” said Sabrina.Putting the pedal to the metal is a family tradition.Roger, who lives in Asheboro, has built and restored

cars since he was 16. He built the cars to run fast so his deputy sheriff dad couldn’t catch him.

Roger’s skill not only helped him escape from a speed-ing ticket, it also helped to build Farmington, said Sabri-na.

Roger put his baby girl in the driver’s seat as soon as she could sit up. By high school, Sabrina and her dad had converted a blue Camaro into a foot-brake racer. Sabrina drove the car in Friday night shoot-outs and test-and-tune races at North Wilkesboro and Rockingham Speedway, as well as Farmington.

There’s no doubt — like her dad, she loves the speed. Perhaps this rush factored into a chance meeting with her future husband.

Four years ago, Chris Williford ran his grocery store shopping cart into Sabrina’s shopping cart.

“I thought he was cute, but I didn’t give my number to a stranger,” she said. “We corresponded by e-mail for a couple of months before we had our fi rst date.”

When Chris and Sabrina married two years ago, he knew that he was marrying into a drag racing family — a family well versed in the nuts and bolts of racing. That’s a good thing.

Last season, Sabrina and her dad completed modifi ca-tions to her 1983 Chevy S-10. She helped with the selec-tion of the block, intake heads, valves and cams. The build was time-consuming, but it didn’t keep her away from the race track.

“You spend a lot more time building your drag racer and getting it ready,” she said.

She cheers for Chris, who will drive a Camaro in the foot-and-brake division this season.

Although Sabrina’s 7-year-old son Roger is too young to be a drag racer, the family discovered something that they can all do — martial arts. Chris takes mixed martial arts classes and Sabrina and Roger take Tae Kwon Do.

“Family is very important to us,” Sabrina said.Drag racing and martial arts both take determination. Sabrina’s spirit of determination dates back to her days

at Trinity High School, where she was a member of the

Beta Club and president of the Science Club. Her hard work during four years of Air Force Junior ROTC merited a nomination to attend West Point.

“I worked hard for good grades in high school because I knew that I wanted to go to college, and I knew that my family couldn’t afford it. So my only hope of accomplish-ing my goal would be working and putting myself through school or getting a scholarship. Besides, I loved learning, so it never really felt like work to me.”

Sabrina wants to help students in Archdale-Trinity have a bright future. She serves as a mentor for Communities In Schools.

When she addressed the GIRLS club — or Girls In Real-Life Situations — at Archdale-Trinity Middle School, she spoke from experience.

She was the fi rst one in her family to graduate from high school, but her plans for college were nearly side-tracked.

“I was a teenage mom myself,” she said. She married and moved to Oklahoma right after her high school gradu-ation.

Alone and newly separated, Sabrina in 2004 returned to her hometown with her infant son. At fi rst, she worked for Blockbuster Video. Still a teenager, she had to juggle two or three jobs to support herself and her son.

In the years that followed, she not only provided for her small family, she also purchased a home and earned a college degree.

Determination wasn’t all that helped her get through this time.

“I made it with God’s help,” she said.At age 20, she landed a job with Wachovia bank as a

teller. Because her hours at the bank were stable, Sabrina returned to school. She graduated from Greensboro Col-lege in December 2007 with a degree in business admin-istration.

Working full-time and attending classes was rough, but it was worth it. Her career got on the fast track, earning her a job at RBC Bank in Archdale, where she was named branch manager Jan. 31.

“The best part of my job as a banker is helping people accomplish their goals — purchasing a home, putting kids through college and making sure they have everything set for retirement,” she said.

Sabrina teaches a free evening class at the bank about fi nance management, budgeting and saving for the future.

Although she holds a degree in business administration, these are topics that she learned through experience as a single mom.

Life has been a race for Sabrina and perhaps that makes the rush on the racetrack sweeter. Her fi rst points race is Saturday in the street division.

“There are no computers or electronics of any type al-lowed,” said Sabrina. “Drag racing is more a matter of driver skill and strategy.

“At the end of the race, it’s like I’m shaking, but I’m not scared at all. It’s so cool. You really can’t describe it. There’s nothing like it.”

THS 1975 reunionThe Trinity High School

Class of 1975 will hold its 35-year reunion May 1.

Contact Pamella Doby Saladino, class president, at psaladino@carolina.rr.com or 1-704-575-1985 or 421 Landsbury Drive, Waxhaw, NC 28173.

All class members and teachers are invited.

Before vacation, check school Web sites for exam schedules

Capital needs subject of retreat

High school officials ask that parents avoid scheduling vacations near exam time.

Parents should check the Web site of their student’s school for exam dates, said THS Assistant Principal Lynn DiFoggio.

“Many families plan vacations during the week of exams,” said DiFoggio. “If your child is in one of the end-of-course exams, please take all of the exam dates into consideration when planning any va-cations before June 9.”

The North Carolina Department of In-struction mandates that students in algebra I, English I, biology, civics or U.S. history must score a level three on the end-of-course exam.

Students who score below a level three must be remediated and retested.

“If your child does not participate in the remediation and the retesting, he or she will

not pass the course and will have to repeat the course the following year,” she said.

Students who score below a level three in algebra II, geometry and physical sci-ence also have to be remediated and retest-ed. The higher exam score will be counted as 25 percent of the final grade.

Randolph County Schools will not offer summer academy for students who did not score a level three on the retest. Because of time constraints, all make-up exams must take place no later than June 4. Remedia-tion and retesting for students who scored a level two on the first exam must take place by June 8.

Trinity and Wheatmore high schools will post their schedules on their Web sites as soon as all the details are finalized.

Capital and infrastructure needs were on the minds of the Ran-

dolph County Board of Commis-sioners during their annual retreat held March 20 at Randolph Com-munity College in Asheboro.

BY ROBYN HANKINS

The Commissioners heard from department heads, Randolph County and Asheboro City schools and RCC. The schools each outlined what they had accomplished as well as their most pressing infrastructure needs.

With regard to the Archdale-Trin-ity district, Superintendent Donald Andrews said that although it would be several more years, the school sys-tem is now looking at building a sec-ond middle school on Surrett Drive in Trinity instead of next to Wheatmore High School. Under this proposal, Braxton Craven could become an al-ternative education facility for both high schools or a ninth grade acad-emy for Trinity High School.

The Commissioners also discussed the possibility of turning the county landfill into a regional landfill. It cur-rently occupies 275 out of a possible

600 acres, and is in a sparsely populat-ed area surrounded by natural buffers.

Commissioners noted that the tip-ping fees associated with a regional facility could mean a 2- to 3-cent tax reduction.

Other needs include the upgrade of the county’s emergency services com-munication equipment, cardiac moni-tors for all ambulances, replacement or renovation of the Liberty ambu-lance base, expansion of the Randolph County Jail to ease overcrowding and a new animal shelter.

The NEWS will report on these needs in future editions.

Breast Enlargement Now Less Painful and A Great Time of Year To Do ItBreast augmentation has,

again, become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The silicon gel breast implant “fiasco” has faded (where it belongs,) and besides, we use saline implants most of the time anyway.

Let’s talk about breast enlargement.

When I am seeing a patient thinking of enlarging her breasts, the biggest reason she hasn’t already had the operation is usually the fear of pain. Now, pain is always an important reason. But, we have a great gadget to help with pain. The ON-Q Pain pump has been a true blessing for many of the painful operations we do. For instance, if you are considering a tummy tuck, we use it here too. This pump is like blowing up a balloon, except we use numbing medications (like

lidocaine which a dentist might use to numb your teeth.) The numbing fluid is slowly passed through a small tube that we insert next to your breast implant.

The implant is bathed in the lidocaine for TWO DAYS. WOW! The worst of the pain occurs in the first two days, so you get help during the most painful time. We still give you narcotics, but narcotics sometime have side effects like nausea and constipation that obviously are less if you need less, and use less.

Fantastic.So, what are you waiting

for? Bathing suit season is coming soon. Having your surgery now is a good idea. The reason is that we are probablygoing to place the implant under the pectoralis (chest-come on, you can learn some anatomy too)

muscle. The thing about putting implants there is that it takes time for the pectoralis to stretch out. We need this stretching over weeks to months to allow the implant to lower itself into a correct position behind your breast.

OK, what’s your excuse now? We can help you with the pain, and NOW is a great time to have breast augmentation. Get the body balance you want. I tell my patients we are in the Happy Business. And it’s true. Our breast enlargement patients are some of our happiest!

16 Archdale-Trinity News THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2010

Parents and children flocked to the Easter bunny (aka Zach Thompson) during the Spring Fling held Friday and Saturday by the Archdale-Trin-ity Merchants Alliance. The bunny visited several area merchants, who participated in the event. Bonnie Place was probably the most hopping. ‘We had people to stop in for the [free] samples,’ said Wet Whistle owner Carol Hamilton. Archdale Bakery, pictured in the background above, also gave out samples.

Bunny gears up for Creekside Easter egg hunt

More than 300 children attended last year’s Easter egg hunt at Creekside Park. Archdale Parks and Recreation is gearing up for more fun at its annual egg hunt Saturday, March 27. The event is open to children up to fifth grade.

“The Easter bunny will be on hand for lots of hugs and pictures,” said rec staff member Tanya Work.

Those who wish to enjoy the fun should go to the gym at 3 p.m. For more information, call 434-7316.

It’s spring!

RCC university night March 30

Randolph Community College will host a Univer-sity Center Night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday,

March 30, in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus.

STAFF REPORTS

The University Center was established in 2008 and is a collaborative effort between Randolph Community Col-lege, Pfeiffer University and Salem College. Cours-es are offered in particular disciplines at reduced tu-ition rates.

During the March 30 program, representa-tives from both four-year schools will talk about their programs and answer ques-tions.

Salem College offers a Bachelor of Science in busi-ness administration through the University Center.

Randolph County resi-dents can earn a degree in elementary education from Pfeiffer University through the University Center.

Anne Hockett, vice president for instructional services at RCC, discussed the impact of the Universi-ty Center on the local com-munity. “The University Center of Randolph County provides an avenue to at-tain education through the baccalaureate level without having to leave the county. This enables adult learners to continue to meet their family obligations, while advancing their educa-tion and increasing their employability and earning level,” she said.

The Asheboro Campus is at 629 Industrial Park Ave.
