august 2011 Vol. 2 No. 3 int roducing A publication of Sum5 Communications, LLC Complimentary Important Davie County Schools Information on Page 29 Davie County Welcomes New School Superintendent Darrin Hartness and Family DavieLiFE.com A Magazine Dedicated to Life in Davie County1 2 Fall 2011 s y a D l o o h c S It’s so hard to believe, but another school year is upon us! Where does the time go when you’re having fun — summer vacations and camps, kids sleeping in late, soaking in some much needed Vitamin D and just trying to squeeze in one more thing before good ole’ summertime comes to an end. Our family has enjoyed some extra time together and I hope that you have taken the time to enjoy some special time as well, but as the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end”. Well, in DC, that saying is only partially true . . . summer may be ending, but a whole new season is upon us and it is even more exciting! DavieLiFE has once again had the privilege to partner with Davie County Schools and bring you our second annual, Back-to-School issue. Again, we have included lots of valuable information for the 2011-12 school year (see our center spread), but we also had the extra special opportunity to meet Dr. Darrin Hartness and his family. Dr. Hartness is the new Superintendent for Davie County Schools and we spent time with him in July getting to know more about him, as well as his wife, Lisa, and two daughters, Madison and Molly. I hope you will enjoy our interview with the Hartness family on pages 28 and 33. They were such a joy to work with and I am excited about them joining the Davie County community — they will make a fantastic addition! Also, a special thank you to Jessica Marie Bailey of Jessica Marie Photography for helping us capture the family’s personality in photos. Davie County is full of talented photographers, and Jessica Marie is certainly one of them…..her ability to work with the Hartness family and understand the vision of DavieLiFE for this special feature really helped bring the piece “to life”. We’ve once again been blessed by the response from readers and supporters. We’re proud to display the nearly 100 supporters in this issue of DavieLiFE and we ask that you as a reader and fan, take the time to thank the businesses and agencies (represented in this issue) for making the magazine possible. Although I have said this over and over, without our supporters, DavieLiFE would not be possible! I ask that you help DavieLiFE stay vital by supporting those represented and be sure to let them know how much you appreciate their willingness to make DavieLiFE a reality. A new addition to DavieLiFE is our partnership with the Humane Society of Davie County. Since our first issue in January of 2010, the Humane Society has been an avid supporter and advocate for our little, hometown magazine. Through their support and involvement, I realized their need for help in pairing loving families with the many animals they care for. Starting in this issue, we will be sharing with readers some of the animals that are available for adoption at our local humane society. Please be sure to check out their photos and bios, and if you are considering a pet for your home or family, we hope that you will consider one of these very loveable pets. For more information on any of the pets featured in this issue, visit the humane society website at www.DavieNCHumane.org. Again, let me thank you all for making DavieLiFE the magazine it is today. I am blessed to work with such a special subject — Davie County. I am proud to be a part of this great magazine and hope to make our community proud as well. Wendy H.

Dear DavieLiFE, On behalf of the Davie Chamber, “THANK YOU” for bringing DavieLiFE Magazine to our community! Each edition is better than the last and provides so much useful information and interesting facts and history about Davie County. Serving as the entity that not only welcomes new businesses and residents to the area, but also the tourism authority for Davie County, we interact with so many people wanting information about our community. Our relocation package always includes the Chamber Business Guide, a county map and the latest edition DavieLiFE Magazine. We also provide copies to visitors who stop in our office looking to “Discover Davie County”. The May 2011 issue, “Growing Davie County”, was especially good as it highlighted and promoted a key economic asset in our county. It was also a great venue for the Chamber to showcase the first segment of our new tourism campaign “Discover Davie County”. We have received such great feedback on the “Discover Davie Vineyards” page and cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ad you designed. Davie County is a great community and we now have a beautiful magazine that reminds so many of us why we call this community home. Keep up the great work and thank you DavieLiFE!

Contributed by Melinda Beauchamp You may have heard “if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life”. That’s how I feel about being the Executive Director for Davie County United Way (DCUW). I meet new people or reconnect with old friends every day, tackle new concerns, look at the overall health of the county and have joined forces with all who want Davie County to be stronger and regain economic prosperity. I talk to people who care about this community; the non-profit and government funded agencies that help thousands of our neighbors who are dealing with heart breaking issues every year. I feel blessed to be part of a network of caring, compassionate people; an organization with strong, successful roots in this area. Melinda Beauchamp Davie County United Way, Inc. The Davie County United Way began in 1973 when the Rotary Club of Mocksville identified the need for a Community Fund. Charles Dunn and Allen Martin were key organizers and raised $40,000 that first year. In 1975, the Community Fund affiliated with United Way of Atlanta and in 1977, with United Way of Forsyth County. By 1989, Davie County United Way was incorporated. During those 37 years, the organization has supported over 30 partner agencies by raising awareness of needs as well as over $10,200,000! The economic downturn in the last few years hit many families very hard causing an inability to keep a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs and food on the table. Today, as in years past, DCUW has been here to help thousands of families. Whether a disaster strikes or a bad economy, people have depended on the DCUW and the agencies we serve. Today we have 3,000 children on free and reduced lunch programs in our schools; many of them are also homeless. You see, DCUW still has much to do. We serve 18 agencies with programs to help children and youth in crisis, families about to lose their homes, cancer victims needing medication and mothers and children escaping abuse. There are programs that provide residential services to adults with developmental disabilities, home care, counseling, help with financial problems, school readiness for very young children and many more needs are addressed. The 2011-12 United Way Campaign will kick-off September 13th. Our slogan is: At Least $1 per week X United Way = Lives Changed for the Better! Our goal is 100% participation from all of our Davie County company employees. If you have never given to United Way before, please start with this campaign. You will never give so little to any cause and have it mean so much to hurting neighbors. You can give through payroll deduction in your company which makes it so easy. Would you miss $1 a week out of your pay check? Probably not, but someone will benefit greatly from your gift. If you are a current donor, thank you. We will be looking for your support again and, if possible, please increase your gift. It will make a difference! DavieLiFE.com 11 Life Is... Contributed by Darryl Bandy, Jr. Life is . . . spending time with family and friends. Watching a ball game. Lying in a hammock on a Saturday afternoon. Life can be all of these things and more. Life is happy and sad and all things in between. It’s about living. Darryl Bandy, Jr., State Farm Insurance Companies But life is also about protecting your family from the unexpected. Life is making sure your family can continue without financial hardship if you are no longer around to help them. One way to do that is to have adequate life insurance coverage on you and your spouse. Life is….being protected with life insurance. Whether you are the main breadwinner or not, the American Life Insurance Council states you should have five to seven years worth of your salary in coverage. Others increase it to 10 years. According to LIMRA, 68 million adult Americans have no life insurance. With so many Americans leaving their loved ones financially vulnerable, the Life Continued on page 12 12 Fall 2011 Continued from page 13 and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) designated September as Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM), a time for the public to take stock of their life insurance needs. Residential The best way to determine your needs is to begin with calculating what long-term expenses you have that your loved ones would be responsible for if you were not around. Those expenses could include a mortgage, college tuition and everyday items such as food and clothing. The type of policy you choose is an important decision. Term coverage can be very affordable initially, but premiums may increase over the life of the policy. Permanent policies usually have higher premiums but tend to stay level. How long you need the policy is also important to consider. A qualified life insurance professional can assist you in your calculations and show you policies that may fit your needs. Life is ever changing. Protecting your family from financial struggles after you are gone is what life insurance is all about. Bianca “BIANCA”, a gorgeous brindle-an dwhite boxer mix, was rescued by the Humane Society of Davie Coun ty from the county-operated an imal shelter. She’s quite a character with her loving and playful personality and enjoys running with the smaller dogs in our fenced in play area. When you are with her… she wants all of your attention and will greet you by trying to hug and will give you a kiss if you’ll let her. She’ll need basic trainin g, lots of room to run and has lots of love to give back to a loving family. She’s spayed, up-to-date on shots, with an estimated birthdate of May 7, 2010. www.DavieNCHumane.or g Live FuLLy. Live ComFortabLy.

Contributed by Dr. Brandon Byers Not exactly what you’d expect to hear from someone trying to run a business. But, if I stay true to the chiropractic principle that prevention is a better approach than treatment, I’m compelled to supply some useful spinal care tips. 80% of the population, at some point in their lives, will suffer from debilitating back pain. That’s job security for me but trouble for you. So here are a few simple, practical tips to keep you upright. Dr. Brandon Byers Davie Chiropractic 1. Move! One position, whether it’s sitting, standing or lying, allows joints in your spine to fill with pressure and cause pain. If your job demands a fixed position, get up periodically and stretch. Walk down the hallway, touch your toes, roll your neck, whatever. Just move! 2. When lifting something heavy, get help. If you can handle the weight yourself, always squat and use your legs, keeping the item as close to your body as possible. 3. Avoid twisting, especially while carrying a load. The spinal discs are beautifully designed to withstand tremendous amounts of compression (downward force). What they cannot tolerate is compression with rotation (twisting). Simple solution, make sure your toes are pointed in the direction you are headed. People have ruptured discs from picking up a toothbrush. It wasn’t the weight of the toothbrush, it was the twisting. 4. Stiffness is your warning. When pressure begins to build, the initial symptom will be stiffness. That’s the time for an adjustment. Not after it’s progressed to excruciating pain that shoots out your toes, that takes much longer to fix. Hopefully this will help keep you out of my office. But, if you need us we’re here.

Contributed by Brooke Kochanski You may notice some idle reduction signs starting to pop up around Davie County. Elementary schools, business and local governments are taking a keen interest in cleaner air for the community, AND saving gas money. Switch that key to the off position when waiting to drop off kids at school or any other place you tend to idle, and start to enjoy the savings! For every two minutes a car is idling, it uses approximately the same amount of fuel it takes to go about one mile. Research indicates that the average person idles their car five to 10 minutes a day. Another way to save on gas money and protect our air is to take advantage of different commute options. The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation, PART, offers daily commuter service to Winston Salem and beyond. PART will work with you to set up a vanpool or carpool and provide telecommuting and other transportation resources. www.Facebook.com/ PartNC Contact us for more information on how you can obtain an idle reduction sign free for your school or business, or to learn more about how you can share the ride, save money and clean the air!

Since 2007, businesses around the county have joined the “Team” to raise more than $30,000 for college scholarships! Businesses, both large and small, can join together to support Davie students. The project works like this: Businesses sign up to be part of the Team and agree to donate $100 to the Community Scholarship Fund at the Davie Community Foundation every time the War Eagles score a touchdown. In 2009, the project had its biggest game, raising $12,000, thanks to the generosity of 24 local sponsors combined with successful scoring by the War Eagles (a total of five touchdowns). It was our biggest winner to date! Over the past four years, students have been the real winners! Fifteen, $1,000 scholarships have been awarded from the fund. The remaining dollars are being used to build a scholarship endowment which will ensure that scholarships are still available to award, even when the project ends. Basically, Team members are helping students today AND building an endowment that will help students long into the future. The 2011 Touchdowns for Education Team will take the field on Friday, September 30th at 7:30 p.m. in the game against Reynolds High School. Since it is Homecoming, a terrific crowd is expected. It will be a great night to have your business, group, or club announced throughout the evening as a member of the Touchdowns for Education Team! Contact the Davie Community Foundation at (336) 753-6903 for more information about securing your spot on the team! 16 Fall 2011 Welcoming new patients Our pediatric practice in Mocksville is growing Brenner Children’s Hospital offers pediatric expertise and compassionate care at its convenient Mocksville location.

Austin, M.D. and Shasta Helsel, M.D., Wake Forest Baptist Health, Brenner Children’s Hospital, Pediatrics – Mocksville We’ve all heard about the Freshman 15, the dreaded weight gain teens sometimes experience during their first year of college. But did you know that younger children can also pack on unwanted pounds when school begins? We’ve seen it in enough of our patients to know that it’s a pretty common occurrence. Unwanted weight gain — an increase that pushes your child over the desired weight range for their age — can happen when children become less active and eat fewer fresh fruits and vegetables during the school year. So while your child’s summer may have been filled with swimming, playing and eating lots of garden produce, their school year can bring many hours of prolonged sitting and unhealthy eating. To help make sure this doesn’t happen, here are a few healthy guidelines: 1. Dr. Clio H. Austin 2. 3. Dr. Shasta Helsel 4. tart the day off right: S A healthy morning meal should be low in sugar and include 100 percent juice, low-fat milk, and multigrain bread or cereal. You might be surprised to discover there are many great tasting cereals that are both low in sugar and high in whole grains. When you're doing your grocery shopping, check labels to be sure. Pack a nutritious lunch: The Davie County school system strives to offer students healthy lunches, but if you choose to pack your child's lunch instead, do so wisely. A sandwich with whole-grain bread, vegetables, low-fat cheese and low-fat, low-sodium deli meat is a great choice. It's also surprisingly easy to find low-calorie snacks your child will enjoy, such as baked chips, pre-packaged 100-calorie snacks, or a favorite fruit. Skip fast food for family dinners: The school year is a busy time, so look for time-saving meals that still allow you to use healthy ingredients like vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. One option is to make dishes ahead of time and freeze them to enjoy at a later date — say, an evening when you have to dash off to a soccer match or band concert. Encourage after-school and weekend activities: Your child may no longer have all day to play outside, but you should allow them to spend time outdoors after school and on weekends. Extracurricular group sports can also provide exercise. And for indoor time, allow activity promoting games like Wii Sports and Fit. With these changes, your child can be just as healthy during the school year as they were during the summer months. Dr. Laura Forster, Dr. Clio H. Austin and Dr. Shasta Helsel of PediatricsMocksville. 18 Fall 2011 Flood Insurance – Maybe You Don’t Need It or Are Paying Too Much Contributed by Jeff Allen, PLS If you have ever sat at the closing table of a real estate transaction involving a loan from a bank, you know that the fees for the various line items can become a large sum. Although it’s one of the smallest fees, the flood zone determination is necessary by federal law. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), within the Department of Homeland Security, requires all federally insured banks to require the homeowner to purchase flood insurance if the structure is within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). This is determined by a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The first FIRMs for Davie County were introduced in 1978, and have been revised a few times, most recently in 2009. The newest version produced a much more accurate determination of the flood zones we have here in Davie County. This may have caused some homes that were previously in a flood hazard area to be removed; and some that were not, to now be included. The average homeowner may not know their situation unless they re-finance. I have received many calls in the past couple years from people who have been informed that they must purchase flood insurance. This can be several hundred dollars a year, and it may not be necessary. The good news is that a more detailed survey of any structure can be performed to appeal to FEMA and show that the lowest floor of the house is above the flood elevation. Each foot of height above the Base Flood Elevation changes the price of insurance. A Professional Land Surveyor can provide this in the form of an Elevation Certificate that the homeowner can use to submit a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). Jeff Allen, PLS Allen Geomatics, P.C. The average homeowner may not know their situation unless they re-finance. I’ll be happy to help with this issue or any other Land Surveying needs you may have.

Contributed by Gina Spangler, DDS, MS and Gail Rohlfing, DDS, MS Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood diseases and yet 90% of it is preventable. Dental decay is five times more common than asthma and 25% of all preschoolers between the ages of 2 and 5 already have a cavity. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists suggests that your child be seen by a dentist by age 1. Pediatric dentists practice preventative dentistry. Preventative dentistry for children requires parental involvement with daily oral care at home as well as visits to the dentist at least 2 times per year. By following some simple steps you can start your child off to a lifetime of healthy dental habits: 1. Wipe out your child’s mouth after feedings — even before teeth erupt. 2. Begin brushing with toddler toothpaste, twice a day as soon as teeth erupt. 3. Never put a baby to bed with a bottle. 4. Water only for at-will drinking (bottle, sippy cup, and cup). 5. Wean your baby from a bottle by age 12-14 months. 6. Use frozen teething rings and appropriate amount of acetaminophen for teething pain. 7. Avoid sweetened and/or acidic beverages, including juice. 8. Limit sweets and sticky fermentable carbohydrates. 9. Watch child around furniture as they learn to walk and remove obstacles. 10. See a pediatric dentist by age 1. Ring in the School Days... Drs. Spangler, Rohlfing and Isharani specialize in caring for children from infancy through adolescence and those with special needs.

DavieLiFE.com 23 Back in Time: Center Community Contributed by Ellen Newman What’s it like growing up in a small community where everybody knows your name? Just ask anyone from Center – they’ll probably tell you “there’s no place like home.” The large families of yesteryear are shrinking in number, but familiar names are still on the roster at Center United Methodist Church, established in 1830. Old Time Revivals were held under the Arbor; the 135-year old rustic structure was built with hand-hewn oak trees from local landowner Billy Tutterow. It was put together with wooden pegs, lit by pine torches, then oil lamps, and later wired for electricity. Ellen Newman Want to see your community in future editions of DavieLiFE? Tell Ellen Newman why at [email protected]! Before electricity had been made available in the area, Luke Tutterow had a Delco power system installed in his general store and home, and ran it to the church and the Arbor. The L.M. Tutterow General Store ran during the 1920s up through the 1950s. Settlers, some descended from Daniel Boone, married and grew the population to about 50 families. They were united by civic pride. In 1975, their Community Development Association was recognized by the Northwest Development Association with its highest award. Monroe Cope’s service station was a “hub of activity” in the 1960s and 70s. It’s where you could get a Brownie chocolate drink, and “chew the fat” with your neighbors. The couch always seemed to be covered in newspapers. The store was in operation from the 1950s through the 1990s. The Center BBQ Fair has taken place on the 2nd weekend of September since 1957. It was started to raise money for the first volunteer fire department. Pork shoulders are slow-cooked on a pit, served with “eastern style” vinegar based dip and “yellow” slaw. What would a county fair be without exhibits, like prize-winning pumpkins and quilts? Competing for cash and ribbons, in both adult and junior divisions, categories include horticulture, culinary, art and photography. Back in time, Center was a close knit community of hard working people who took pride in their church and ancestral ties. The same values and beliefs have been passed on for generations, and Center is still a good place to call home. y r, 1969 County Librar BBQ SuppMeartin-Wall History Room, Davie sy Photo Courte 24 Fall 2011 BBQ Supper, 195ll9History Room, Photo Courtesy Martin-Wa Davie County Library 3 BBQ Supper, 197ll His tory Photo Courtesy Martin-Wa y Room, Davie County Librar Center, NC Latitude: 35° 53' 38" N CooleemeeLon gitude: 80° 33' Contributed by S Elevation: 889 ft. 41" W Turkey Shoot, 1959 Photo Courtesy Martin-Wall History Room , Davie County Library BBQ Dinner, 1973 Photo Courtesy Martin-Wall History Room , Davie County Library Monroe Cope’s Store, c. 1957-58 Photo Courtesy of Ray Tutterow L.M.

In addition to learning about him and his plans for the school system, we were introduced to his lovely family who we believe will make the transition to DC quite well. We hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Darrin Hartness, as much as we did. DavieLiFE: Tell us a little bit about your family. Dr. Hartness: My wife, Lisa, and I have been married for 22 years. We have been blessed with two daughters, Madison and Molly. Madison will be a sophomore at Davie High School, and Molly will be an 8th grader at South Davie Middle School. Our family is extremely close; the girls are best buddies. We strive to build our relationship on the foundation of Christ and His Word. DavieLiFE: I know that you mentioned that your wife is from Davie County and graduated from DHS. Where did the two of you meet? Dr. Hartness: Lisa and I met while we were both working at a church youth camp in Charlotte, NC, during our teen years. Shortly thereafter, I began making the 72-mile commute from my home in Gastonia to Cooleemee, on a regular basis. Lisa and I married while in college. DavieLiFE: Other than your wife being from here, what did you know about Davie County before coming to the area? Did anything in particular draw you to the area? Dr. Hartness: After graduating from Appalachian State University, Lisa and I lived in Davie County for 3 years. Since that time, we have visited my in-laws frequently. Over the past 20 years, I have followed the progress of Davie County Schools, being particularly interested in their academic success and technology initiatives. Quality schools, a caring community, and proximity to extended family were three important factors in my decision to apply for the superintendency. continued on page 33 28 Fall 2011 Welcome back! SPECIAL PULL OUT SECTION! Message from the Superintendent: Welcome back! I am looking forward to the 2011-12 school year as your new superintendent! I am excited to be part of a community that truly cares about our public schools and has an unwavering love for children. It is evident that Davie County citizens are proud of our schools, and every day, we will be looking for new ways to make them even better places for our children to learn. Davie County Schools is a place where all children can grow academically, identify and develop their own talents and leadership skills, and find success. As we prepare our students to become the next generation of citizens, they must be able to compete and succeed in our globally interconnected world. In order to be competitive and successful, we are committed to providing a quality education through rich, rigorous, and relevant learning experiences for every child we serve. As I visited around the district this summer, I saw enrichment experiences for both students and our teachers. I visited teachers being trained about how to incorporate robotics in our classrooms as we continue our focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Davie County Schools is blessed with outstanding teachers! As I reviewed testing data from this past year, I saw that our students are continuing to make significant growth in the area of reading. Reading is a foundational skill necessary for success in all other academic areas and in life. Parents, you are our greatest educational partners, and I appreciate all you do to encourage and continue the academic growth of your child at home! I would also encourage members of our community to consider joining the many volunteers who spend time with children in our schools supporting the learning process or having lunch with a child. If you are interested in a tremendously rewarding volunteer experience, contact one of our principals to find out where your talents can be used in our schools! I cannot wait to see you in our schools or in the community! We will work together in the coming months and years as we strive to always do what is best for the children. Have a fantastic 2011-12 school year! Darrin L. Hartness, Ed.D.

At what stage in your life did you decide you wanted a career in education, or did you always know you would be an educator? Dr. Hartness: This is my 21st year as an educator. I made the decision to go into the educational field while I attended high school. There, I had a drafting teacher who was not only a positive role model, but was also instrumental in helping me to discover my strengths. He encouraged me to truly consider my life after high school. While I applied and was accepted into the College of Architecture at UNC Charlotte, I knew that my family could not afford this route. This teacher’s advice led me to also apply for a NC Teaching Fellows Scholarship. This scholarship kick-started my career as an educator. DavieLiFE: Did you ever have any unique or interesting jobs before becoming an educator? Dr. Hartness: I have worked since age 15, including working in a cotton mill, a Christian bookstore, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. One of my most interesting jobs was being a college husband while working for the ASU Police Department. DavieLiFE: What are some things you are interested in doing to become more familiar with the area, as well as members of the community? Dr. Hartness: I have already begun to participate in Rotary. I plan to attend community events, as well as school academic and athletic events. My family and I will also be visiting area churches. We truly look forward to getting to know our neighbors. DavieLiFE: What would the community be surprised to know about you? Any interesting hobbies or achievements? Dr. Hartness: In my spare time, I enjoy woodworking and building furniture. Our girls have enjoyed picking out some pieces from the Pottery Barn catalog and having me attempt to duplicate them. I play a bit of bass guitar and banjo. Madison and Molly say that I am a techno geek, I am always interested in new technologies. I was in the very first class of NC Teaching Fellows, and the first NC Teaching Fellow to serve as a school superintendent. I have been North Carolina’s Technology Educator of the Year, and NCASCD’s Outstanding Young Educator. Last summer was a fun experience when I was featured in a NC Education Lottery commercial on site at Mount Airy High School. My girls had fun seeing a “Hollywood set” and Daddy being “fixed up” by a make-up artist to air on television.” Hartness Family— Welcome to Davie County!

Well, get ready to do both with ChamberDeals.org, a new program the Davie County Chamber of Commerce will be rolling out as the new school year gets under way. ChamberDeals.org partners with Chambers of Commerce throughout the country by offering free online deals from local businesses that are typically at a 40% discount or more.

DavieLiFE.com 45 Encouragement Café “Luann, our station is missing a female perspective and we would like you to prayerfully consider doing a show for women.” “I’m not qualified,” I thought as I looked around. A stun gun could have produced a more lively response. Did they really mean me? As I agreed to prayerfully consider their request the words, “I’m not qualified,” echoed in my head then burrowed into my heart. Luann Prater Encouragement Cafe Have you been there? Has a God-sized challenge ever stepped into your life and your first response was, “Who, me?” Take heart, even the Bible greats shared our angst! Moses said, “Who am I?” Moses couldn’t see the God-sized vision so he repeated the words I’ve said myself, “What if?” I shared it with my husband, my pastor and the President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, where I’m a speaker/author, and they all said the same thing, “You didn’t open this door, God did, walk through it.” Women share with each over coffee, so on May 30, 2009 Encouragement Cafe with Luann & Friends, was born. It’s a one-hour talk show discussing topics that concern every woman. The need for the listener to continue the conversation once the show was over spurred the launch of our website and Facebook page. The connection is so real, women ask if they can stop by the cafe for a visit. Now we give them that opportunity at Encouragement EXTREME Events where our team travels to cities around the country to share life. One by one, steps of obedience followed intense times of prayer and fasting. God delivered the answers whenever we asked. He is faithful. Today we are on both secular and Christian stations across the nation and as podcasts on iTunes. Who knew? Only God. He didn’t check my list of qualifications, He was qualified.

When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying“more is better” is not good to follow. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.*At the very least, multiple accounts usually means multiple fees. Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement makes it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

Compiled by Rachel Williams Rachel Williams DavieLiFE Summer Intern Young Life, started in 1941 by Jim Rayburn, is a non-denominational Christian outreach organization focused on building relationships with middle and high school kids and sharing God’s love with them. It has a long legacy of effective work with kids and a reputation for excellence among adults worldwide. Young Life is not affiliated with any one church or denomination, but works to partner with churches and youth groups as leaders go to the individual high schools to reach kids on their turf. Young Life is there in the world of high school — learning kids’ names, hearing their stories, having fun and sharing with them the great news of a God who loves them… and more recently in middle schools through YL’s counterpart for middle school kids, WyldLife. No matter where high school kids live — in small towns, suburbs or big cities — Young Life’s commitment to them is the same. We take them as they are, place no expectations on them and seek to understand their world. It offers them fun, adventure, direction for the future and hope, not to mention lasting friendships that could change their lives forever. Here is a portion of the interview between Rachel Williams and the Davie County representatives for Young Life. DavieLiFE: How did you get involved with Young Life? Charlie Rowe had been involved with YL at Reynolds High school. Charlie and his wife Courtney have close friends who are on the “adult committee” for Young Life in Forsyth County.* Last fall the Rowe’s attended the Forsyth County YL Fall Banquet with their friends and they saw the impact YL was having on hundreds of local teens. After they saw how kids lives are being positively impacted and changed through YL, they realized that they needed to get involved in helping establish Young Life here in Davie County. Bob and Jen Smith moved to Davie County last June from Maryland. Before they had kids, Jen was a YL leader and Bob was a youth group leader at their church. It was neat to see how many of their high school kids overlapped and were involved in both groups. Jen was amazed to see how through building friendships and investing in kids lives, God used YL to give kids a hope and a reason to live, knowing the God that created them. For the four years prior to their move, the Smith’s went as a family to one of Young Life’s camps, Lake Champion, for Family Camp weekend. The weekend was run the same way a YL camp is run for a week in the summer, but one weekend out of the year they allow whole families to come. When the Smith’s relocated to NC, their kids were most upset about not being able to go to Young Life camp every year! They had so much fun doing activities such as tubing, zip lining into a lake, jumping off of the blob, etc… So this year, the Smith’s went to Young Life’s Windy Gap in NC for Forsyth County’s family camp weekend. *YL has been active in Forsyth County since the 1950’s and is currently at 9 high schools as well as there being an active WyldLife group. Jonathan Murfee, the Area Director of Forsyth County has been a huge resource in trying to establish YL in Davie County. 52 Fall 2011 DavieLiFE: What made you want to start Young Life in Davie County? Between our two families, we have kids in middle and high schools here in DC. We know all of the peer pressure and bad influences facing today’s young people. Our adolescents are dealing with so much stress and pain and trying to find acceptance, meaning and make sense out of life. We believe that life makes the most sense when we know the One who created us and live life in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Many teens whether they go to church or not, may believe that God is boring. Young Life was created to reach kids that might never step foot in a church or don’t feel connected with God. With the pain that Davie High school staff and students have been dealing with, we really believe that God wants to use Young Life to bring hope and healing to our school. We also hope it can be something that unifies folks across the county. With so many negative things out there vying for the our kids attention and trying to pull them in, why wouldn't we want something like Young Life here in Davie County to have a positive impact on our youth and our community? DavieLiFE: How can others get involved with Young Life? There are many ways that you can be involved. We have a diverse group of about 20 committed adults, and are still looking for more, who are forming our “adult committee”. This is the foundation of Young Life in Davie County. These are people who roll up their sleeves and do what it takes to make Young Life happen here. Young Life does not send out people to randomly start it up in local communities, it will only happen if we make it happen. It is exciting to already have the approval of Davie High principal Jeff Wallace as well Davie County’s new Superintendent, Darrin Hartness, in addition to other county school staff and employees. We need more people who will join us in making this happen. We need to raise money to hire a staff person for Davie County. After that person is hired we can begin to recruit and train volunteer leaders who will begin to go and build friendships with kids at Davie High. So far we have raised about $16,000 which is enough to hire a part-time staff person. To hire someone for a three year term, full time, we would need about $85,000. So we are looking for businesses, individuals and churches who want to invest in something that will impact the future of Davie County. Eventually we hope to have YL’s middle school counterpart, WyldLife, at the three county middle schools as well. We have an email contact database and periodically send out updates and information about DCYL. We are also compiling a list of people who are interested in praying for Young Life in Davie County. If you are interested in getting on our email list, joining our adult committee or prayer team, or making a contribution, please send us an email at [email protected]. DavieLiFE: What can you expect if you attend Young Life? Club – A Party with a Purpose: What is it about Young Life Club that makes it the best night of the week for thousands of kids every week? We like to think of it as a party with a purpose. It’s controlled chaos that's almost impossible to describe, but kids know it when they see it. And before the party ends, we share a simple message about God’s love for them. After all, that's what the celebration is all about. Club usually includes music, goofy skits/games, a brief message from one of the leaders and followed by the leaders and kids going to grab a snack at a nearby fast food restaurant and hanging out. Camp – The Best Week of Their Life : Young Life camping involves high adventure, lots of fun, great food and excellent speakers who understand and respect high school and middle school kids. At Young Life’s camps, kids are treated to resort-quality facilities for which Young Life has become known. Regardless of the facility, the experience is the same — kids getting away from the pressures of everyday life, having fun with friends and their Young Life leaders, and hearing the message of God’s love in terms they can understand. Young Life camping is open to kids who often are overlooked: those from economically depressed communities, kids with disabilities and teenage mothers. Each year, more than 100,000 kids around the world spend a week or weekend at Young Life camp, having an experience that many describe as the “best week of their lives.” Campaigners – A Time to Question, Learn and Grow: Campaigners (a name that points back to the early days when Young Life was referred to as “The Young Life Campaign”) is a weekly meeting for kids who wish to learn more or grow in their faith through study, service and leadership. Young Life leaders also encourage these kids to celebrate their faith through participation in a local congregation.

Mac Bond The first week of August proved to be a notable one from an economic standpoint, and not in a good way. Congress finally got the debt ceiling crisis resolved without really doing anything, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the rating for the USA, and the stock market went bonkers as a result of both. Further, we have not yet addressed the underlying tax issues to address the problems we face. So, what is ahead for all of us? I am definitely not a financial or economics expert. And I certainly do have the same questions as many of you. And I have a few thoughts and suggestions from an accountant’s point of view to help you ask the right questions and hopefully find the right answers for your particular situation. F. Mac Bond, CPA, Inc. Accounting & Consulting First and foremost, do NOT panic. Yes we have lots of problems, but none of them are insurmountable. Plan and strategize and move steadily toward your goals. Secondly, realize that there are no glorious 20% rates of return products out there for you to invest in. I wish I knew about one or two, but they really do not exist anymore. Look for sound investments that will survive the roller coaster and don’t gamble unless you can stand to lose. As an accountant for over 20 years, what I can tell you about is the trend of taxes going forward. Estate planning and tax planning more than a year or two is necessary, of course. But you must realize that all of these things are in a state of change and Congress recently has been well known to change tax laws in November that affect what has happened since January. Further, after the fall election, there will almost definitely be some sort of tax law change that will affect many of us. Until that electorate is seated in Washington, none of us know what will happen to the tax laws for all of us. So, what am I trying to tell everyone today? Stay current on what is going on in Washington. It affects all of us one way or another and it is important stuff. Speak your opinion to your legislators. They really do listen to their constituents, especially if a lot of them express one particular view. And be conservative in what you do. Large returns always come at a higher risk and in a volatile economy like we have right now the risk is even greater. And try to remember that change is inevitable. We all can help to make latesome little choco sure the change is a positive one. “PACO”, a hand ingese Chihuahua/Pek le a m m a re -c and And if we do find the sky is falling, get out your tools and lets e by the Human all chip in to fix it. mix was rescued the e County from Society of Davi r.
