Celebrate with multiple July 4 activities
Staff Report
Bethabara, Bethania and Salem were among the first communities in North Carolina to
hold documented Independence
Day celebrations beginning on
July 4, 1783. Bethabara Park will
continue that tradition this Sunday, with an Independence Celebration from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
The Bethabara Band will perform patriotic music to kick-off
the afternoon’s patriotic celebration. The band began in the early
1980s and is now in its 27th season. John and Mildred Cline are
the founders of the Bethabara
Concert band, who gave their
first performance inside the Palisade Fort at Historic Bethabara
Park in September 1986.
American’S’Way will take the
stage at 3 p.m. This is a high
energy show with up-beat performances, and according to
Bethabara Park’s press release,
there will be a chance for audience participation. This “unbelievable duo” will sing a variety of songs including “Mack
the Knife,” “Cheek to Cheek,”
“Sway,” and many more.
The historic buildings of
Bethabra will be open to tour
and Revolutionary War re-enac-
tors will be giving demonstrations throughout the afternoon.
There will be Colonial games
for all ages, including the Great
American Watermelon Seed
Spitting contest at 4 p.m. Children can make paper colonial
hats at the hat-making table.
A reading from the Declaration of Independence will take
place at the beginning of the
festivities. Uncle Sam will be
on stilts, roaming through the
crowd throughout the afternoon.
There will also be a liberty pole.
Other activities will be held
by the Wake Forest Athletics Department.
Admission is free. Hot dogs
and ice cream will be available
for purchase.
According to the city of Winston-Salem’s website, the Moravian communities of Bethabara,
Bethania, and Salem joined Boston, Massachusetts and Charleston, SC as possibly the first places in the new nation to celebrate
in 1783.

Travelers who frequent
Highway 65 through Rural
Hall often notice the large
raised bed gardens adjoining
the highway beside Nazareth
Lutheran Church.
The Rural Hall Community
Garden is now in its fifth season.
It all started when long-time
gardener Rollin Greene was no
longer able to till his garden,
so he offered his vegetable
patch as a community garden.
Wallace Williamson, who was
then president of The Garden
Spot of the World Gardening
Club, helped to organize the
first community garden.
Interest grew and Nazareth

to meet the unique needs of
grieving children and teens
(rising 1st- 12th graders)
and adults who are grieving
a death-related loss.
Campers will find support through small group
grief sessions that provide
them with a natural outlet
for expression of feelings
and healthy coping skills.
Special experiences include:
creative play, art therapy,
expressive movement, music therapy, animal-assisted
therapy, and more!
Camp Carousel is open
to the community.
The dates for the camp
are July 22 through July 25

KING — Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your
engines! “Heaven on Wheels,” an uproarious musical about the history of stock car racing, is coming to the King Central Park Outdoor Amphitheatre with two scheduled performances, July 5 and
6, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on both nights.

part of our summer schedule,” said Program
Coordinator Taylor Vaden, of the Stokes County
Arts Council.
“With the Piedmont of North Carolina so
closely tied to stock car racing, it’s only fitting
that ‘Heaven on Wheels’ makes a pit stop in the
area to share a few stories and characters of the
history of NASCAR.”

event, which the church considers part
of their mission outreach. “We are not
typically an evangelical church…we love
to give back to our community and there
are no expectations with this event. This
is one of our mission action projects we
have throughout the year. We are doing
this for all of you,” he said with a smile,
watching the many people enjoy the
beautiful day in the park.
Families, neighbors, church members,
and even people from other locations traveled to the park to enjoy the festivities.
Dessert Bingo was a huge hit, with winners selecting from a vast array of desserts,
all lovingly prepared by church members.
The church plans to continue the free
event each year, as a gift for the community. A cornhole tournament took place at the Germanton Community Block Party on Sunday, hosted by the Red Bank Missionary Baptist Church.

the garden space. The church already had a garden project on the
property, growing pumpkins and
sunflowers as a fundraiser for a
church ministry.
Williamson learned of a nonprofit community garden initiative, Reap More Than You Sow,
and Rural Hall became one of
their four charter gardens.
To begin, Reap More furnished
lumber and soil for 22 raised
beds. The next year members
built 24 additional beds.
Today there are 46 beds with 29
households participating. Williamson’s work led to his being cho-
sen as coordinator of Reap More,
which now sponsors 24 gardens.
Garden captain Edie Jackson
grows vegetables there because
her yard is too shady. She also
serves as the Master Gardener
Mentor for the garden, helping
to advise those who have never
planted before.
Jane Bodenhammer acts as
treasurer for the group and liaison with the church, where she
is a member.
Husbands and wives, families
with children, widows and singles
— they all come together to grow
gardens and create a community.
Lifelong gardener Gladys Shuler said, “I thoroughly enjoy it. I
brought my sister–in-law and she
was so impressed with the garden.” Shuler is in her third year
at the garden. She started with a
4 by 4 plot the first year, a 4 by 8
bed the second year, and this year
she has two beds where she grows
cabbage, lettuce, radishes and
broccoli in the spring, followed by
tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.
Then Schuler will plant a fall
garden of greens, lettuce and
spinach, some of which will be
harvested all winter. She said
the rabbits and deer bother her
home garden, so the community
garden works well for her.
Each garden bed is assigned
and each gardener decides what
he or she will grow. Some grow
for their own use, while others
donate most of their harvest to
food banks or needy families.
Some choose to decorate their
garden plots, making each one
unique. Everyone pays a small
fee to cover the water bill.
There are a few restrictions,
such as no corn since it would
shade other vegetables and is
not an appropriate crop for the
bed size.
Occasionally the garden holds
work days to help keep the paths
mulched and clean and to encourage everyone to tidy up his
or her garden.
Some novice gardeners like the
opportunity of learning from others. Neophyte Trish Mitchell is
very enthusiastic: “I just love it. I
met a lot of new people and they
are so generous to share what
they know. I’ve already had strawberries and cucumbers.” Others
have moved from other states or
even other countries and are not
sure what grows in North Carolina, so they welcome the help.
There are also cookouts and
social gatherings where members
share the fruits of their labor and
recipes for enjoying the harvest.
For more information or to
participate in the community
garden, call Wallace Williamson
at 336-331-2564.

Opinion
Farewell, Weekly
Independent
As I write this column, I am thinking
about the stacks of
paper that I have unloaded from my filing
cabinet. Mounds and
mounds of paper.
The pages are far
from blank. Littered
with a choppy print
that even I can’t understand at times, these
notes contain the essence of the past 1 ½
years of my life. They
Meghann Evans
are the foundation of
everything I have written, the knowledge I
have acquired.
Now they are reduced to piles, and I will no
longer need these pages.
You see, by the time you read this column,
I will no longer be the managing editor of
The Weekly Independent. I have accepted a
new position elsewhere that feels like a good
growth opportunity for me. Though I will
miss running this newspaper, I am excited to
embark on a new adventure.
But as I look at these notes, it is hard to part
with them. The stories they transformed into have
long left the consciousness of most Forsyth County
minds, but for me each page tells its own story.
When I took over the editor role at The Stokes
News and The Weekly Independent in November 2011, I was thrown in the midst of high
school football playoffs for Stokes County. I had
never covered a football game before, but I had
long been a fan of the game. As I look at the
notes, I see how my sports reporting ability improved over the playoff season. When I started,
I felt awkward as the only woman with a camera
on the field, but I settled into the coverage and
thoroughly enjoyed watching the Wildcats roar
their way to a historic state championship.
My notes of these games don’t just tell me
about stats and scores. They remind me of people, such as Robert Money who helped me get
a handle on West Stokes stats, or Kelly Snow
who offered advice and encouraging words to a
very green editor / sports reporter. Jimmy Kuhn
provided me with some beautiful pictures and
helped me understand how to use the office camera. Dale Sands supplied me with gorgeous photos and a big smile every time I saw him.
But the majority of my notes point me back
to the news stories I wrote — the quotes from
law enforcement officials, the answers from local town administrators, the colorful quotes and
long dialogues between elected officials, the
helpful details provided by the board clerks.
Some of the notes contain complaints. They
remind me of hurtful times, of the times when I
had to go sit in the bathroom and let out a few
tears because I was recovering from a long press
night only to be cussed out by someone who
didn’t like the way I wrote a story.
But there were more happy moments than
sad. The call from a stranger to thank me for the
job I was doing, a kind word that came just when
I needed it — those are the things I will remember from the past year of personal growth.
I see my life in these pages. I see the mistakes
I’ve made, the things I’ve learned. I see all the
stories I wanted to write but never had time to
finish. I see the stories that I’m glad I never have
to deal with again. I see the touching interviews
that I will never forget. I see the strong work
ethic of my co-workers that enabled me to complete all of these stories.
As I sort through these pages, I can’t help but
see the stacks of newspapers sitting nearby. How
strange it will be to see future editions of The
Weekly Independent that won’t have my name
in them! Thousands upon thousands of words
later, my work here is done.
To everything there is a season, Ecclesiastes
says, and that is true. Moving on is my choice,
and I am excited about what the future holds,
but I will always treasure the time I spent managing this paper.

The social media controversy
Hannah Wood
Social media, a virtual
socialization tool capturing people from ages in the
pre-teen years to senior citizens. It has transformed
from a rating device used
at Harvard to now serving
as a constant update on
our loved ones’ lives.
Controversy lies within
the fact that social media
could be replacing actual
face-to-face socialization.
Are teens becoming more
interested in life through
the web than they are
participating in sporting
events and socials? Do
people have a thicker backbone through their computer screen and engage in
conversations they would
not normally be involved
in through the comfort of
a fiberglass screen? Cyberbullying, online dating,
and total replacement of
social involvement are reasons for concern.
The biggest fright for
me is the ability of someone to say something
over text, chat, Facebook
message, tweet, etc., that
they would not normally
say face-to-face. It has
happened to all of us, and
as I am guilty of this phenomenon as well, one feels
braver when protected by
distance and a computer
screen. Researchers call
it emotional contagion,
the recognition that others’ assessments of peers’
feelings are directly impacted by what people said
about them. Nonverbal
cues are also important in
picking up what the communicator actually means
by what they are saying.
For example, if someone
texts “I hate you,” it will
probably come across as
harsher than the joke it
was intended to be. With
Stokes County holding on
to the highest suicide rate
in the state, cyber bullying
becomes a major concern
for us. Per the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human
Services, 52 percent of students claim they have been
victims of cyber bullying.
With the average family of
four, one of your kids is being bullied online.
If anyone has seen the
MTV show Catfish or
heard the Brad Paisley
song “So Much Cooler Online” where online dating
becomes a source of heartbreak and deceit, you understand how easy fibbing
about one’s own life can be.
Online dating can sometimes be a very effective
tool in finding your soul
mate, but can you really get
to know someone through
a keyboard and a mouse?
Social media often times
tends to replace or publicly
enhance relationships. I’ve
seen two people that have a
mediocre romance seem to
be head over heels through
Instagram and Twitter.
Also, texting and constant
communication has ruined
dating. I cannot tell you
how many times I have seen
young couples and families
text and be on their phones
through an entire dinner
or family outing, keeping
their real life interaction to
a minimum.
Studies have suggested
that depression also stems
from a constant update
on all of the fun activities
friends and family are engaged in while your life is
seemingly less exciting or
rewarding. Can constantly
comparing your life to others be healthy?
While social media continues to be a helpful form
of communication between
people, serves as a revolutionary business advertisement, and keeps citizens
updated on events happening around the world,
it should be, like my mom
says about most things,
used in moderation. When
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., consume your
life, it is time to tune in to
your own life and log off.

STEP ONE TO THE AUTUMN
GARDEN PLOT: The days of summer
have already started to get shorter by
a minute per day and here’s a signal to
think autumn in the garden by ordering
seeds to start in six weeks or so to begin the autumn agenda in the garden.
The end of June is an ideal time to
order seeds to start broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and collards for the autumn garden. From the
Park Seed catalog, you can order Sweet
Surprise Cabbage for $3.50 per pack;
Coronado Crown Broccoli for $3.50
per pack; Amazing white cauliflower
for $3.50 per pack. From Burpee Seed,
you can order Tokyo Cross Turnips for
$3.95 per pack; Oasis turnips for $3.95
per pack. Of course, when you can’t find
the variety you desire locally.
THE MASKOTKA CONTAINER
TOMATO REPORT: The Maskotkas
are responding well after being transplanted to medium pots and the humid
days of June sunshine and occasional
thunder showers has a positive effect
on them. They should be ready to transplant to hanging baskets in another
week or so.
LATE RUGERS TOMATOES: Unlike the Maskotkas, we have Rutgers
tomatoes started from seed at the same
time the Maskotkas were started and
the Rutgers are already transplanted in
the garden plot. Maybe this is because
Rutgers has been tried and true for many
generations, and just maybe that’s why my
father always planted them in his garden!

Why? There are two big reasons.
First, inflation has been low, hovering between 1 percent and 2 percent
annually for several years. Any interest rate paid on an investment will
reflect prospects for future inflation.
The higher the expectations
for inflation, the higher the interest rate. This is because inflation
erodes the purchasing power of
dollars, so if inflation is low, and
expected to continue that way, then
interest rates will be low.
The second reason results from
the policies of the nation’s central
bank, the Federal Reserve.

The Butterfly
Effect
-- by Jerry Pence
Pfafftown Baptist
Church
4336 Transon Road
Sunday School 9:15
Worship 10:25
In science there is a concept
referred to as the Butterfly Effect.
This concept means that no matter
how minor an action might be it
has an effect on the final outcome.
Do you think that Adam and
Eve understood the far reaching
consequences of their actions in the
garden? When Abraham took his
wife’s handmaiden do you think
he envisioned the turmoil it would
create between nations today?
We seldom think about how our
decisions the we make for ourselves
will impact others.. Though he was
not perfect, the good that David did
in his life was remembered hundreds
of years after his death. Many times
God’s wrath was such that he would
have destroyed Israel, but he would
not because of His servant David. In
1st Samuel 25 we read a story about
how David took care of a group of
men from the household of Nabal.
Later when David asked Nabal to
help him and his men, Nabal was
disrespectful to David. David told his
men to put on their swords and that
they were going to destroy Nabal and
his servants. Nabal’s wife, Abigail,
was far more gracious than her
husband. When she heard what her
husband had done, she took food to
David and begged David’s forgiveness.
David said, “Blessed be thy advice,
and blessed be thou, which hast kept
me this day from coming to shed
blood and from avenging myself
with mine own hand (vs. 33). How
many lives did Abigail save that day
because she brought words of peace?
The words and deeds that we speak
daily have far reaching consequences
beyond what we can even imagine
both good and bad. “Blessed are
the peacemakers; for they shall be
called children of God.” (Matthew
5:9) Come and study with us so we
can talk more about these and other
things pertaining to God’s will.

good turnout of neighbors, family and friends came out to
join in the fun.
Among those attending a ceremonial ribbon cutting
was Alan Wood, Stokes County economic development director.
“This fits right into our tourism objectives,” Wood said
of the park. “We need more lodging and they’ve done a
wonderful job here. This not only ties us to the (state)
park, but it opens channels to the rest of the county. I think
this is very important.”
As owners Kane and Charity Shelton prepared to cut a
ceremonial ribbon held by their children, Johnathan and
Kathryn, Charity offered a word of thanks to those in attendance and those who have been a part of the park’s creation.
“I’m so thankful to all of those who helped us get where
we are,” she noted. “And I thank God that He has blessed
us with this beautiful place to share with others.”
Campers on the site included members of the Colonial Campers Club. Club member William Lancaster of
Lexington was quick to note the impressive view of Pilot
Mountain as a feature.
“Where else can you camp and be able to look at that
rock wherever you go,” he said, referring to the mountain.
“There are pictures of Pilot Mountain all over the state.
I’m looking forward to seeing it when the leaves change.
It’s a beautiful place and a year from now it’s going to really be something.”
“It’s an emotional day,” Kane Shelton said afterward,
“and it really means a lot. My dad used to say that the
hardest part is getting started. I’m thankful and excited
and now it’s in God’s lap. I give Him all the credit.”
Kane and Charity Shelton moved to their 27 acres of
property on the eastern side of Pilot Mountain about
nine years ago. Kane grew up in Pilot Mountain, and
Charity is from Dobson.
“We have 22 acres on this side of the road, and we had
such an awesome view we wanted a way to share it with
people,” Charity Shelton said Monday, sitting on the
front porch of the new office and bathhouse building at
Greystone RV Park, with the mountain rising in front of
her across from the RV sites and the pond.
The office and bathhouse building features handicapaccessible bathrooms and are decorated with a rustic feel
using family heirloom tools for farming and construction.
Shelton said Tony Cave and his crew built the building,
and then she and Kane did most of the walls and floors.
“These are not permanent sites, but for visitors passing
through or coming to enjoy the area,” Shelton said. “A lot
of local people have come for a quick weekend getaway,
because it is just an hour or two drive for them.”
Greystone features 10 sites with concrete pads, picnic
tables and rock fire pits. Shelton said plans are to expand
the RV park , but that there will not be more than 30 sites.
“We don’t want it to be commercialized where everyone
is on top of each other,” she said.
She said there are places for tent camping and popup campers at the state park, and the cabins and main
house at Pilot Knob Bed and Breakfast, but no facility
was available next to the mountain for campers who
are looking for full hook-ups.
“We didn’t want to do anything to feel like we were
competing with neighbors, but instead enhancing what’s
available,” said Shelton, noting that Kane’s father had
built the cabins at Pilot Knob Bed and Breakfast and the
original main house that was Scenic Overlook Bed and
Breakfast in the 1980s.
The Sheltons had cleared the land and timber and built
the pond, but at the time didn’t know what they were going to do with the land. Charity said they had discussed
a wedding and banquet hall facility, but the start-up costs
were too high.
“So I mentioned to my husband about an RV park,”
she said.
Kane Shelton wanted to make sure there was enough
room for the large RVs, so they graveled the drive and
parking areas and put in the concrete pads.
“We’ve had 45-foot buses with tag-along vehicles. All
the sites are pull-through with full hook-ups with 50 amp
service,” said Charity, who added that the RV park has
been three years in the making.
The Sheltons had their first camping guests Sept. 7,
2012, and are working on signage to help draw in more
business. Charity said to this point they’ve had as many
as five to seven sites full at a time, and this weekend,
which will be the grand opening celebration of Greystone,
a camping group is coming in and will fill all 10 sites.
Greystone phases of development will include patios
for the picnic tables and fire pits along with hard top areas for the driveway and parking areas at each site.
“We have planted a couple of pin oaks and we are debating on where to plant others now for shade without being
where they will block views of the mountain and branches
won’t fall on campers,” she said.
“There is a pond the sites overlook, which is stocked
for fishing,” Shelton pointed out. “Most people who come
want to hike or bike, relax, fish. We had a couple this past
weekend who went kayaking and ziplining.”
She said there are farms just a couple of minutes up
the road which offer trail rides, and for those wanting to
tent camp there is the state park or Blackberry Mountain
Camp, which opened in July 2012.
Other projects that are ongoing and upcoming at
Greystone include a small camp store that will offer necessities in the office; laundry facilities with the hookups
already available and the service coming in the next few
months; a community covered picnic area overlooking the
pond with a fire pit; an outdoor kids play area; and eventually an enclosed building with a kitchen area, seating
and indoor games for groups who are camping together
to use and for rainy days.
The cost for a site is $48 a night, and those staying a
week can stay the seventh night free. Shelton said from
November through February, sites are available at a
monthly rate.
With Kane and Charity not being avid campers, they
have relied on the advice and suggestions from friends
and family who RV camp to know what people are looking
for when they seek out a place to camp.
“Our bucket list is to eventually go RVing and visit all
50 states,” Shelton said. “With the RV park, we were looking for something to eventually be our retirement. It is
something we hope will eventually lead into careers for
our kids in the future if they wish.”
Kane owns and operates Woodstar Clearing, using a
forestry mulching machine his company clears out undergrowth and leaves the large standing trees. He also pressure washes RV and campers. Charity is a teacher at Pilot
Mountain Elementary School.
“This is our venture together,” Shelton said.
In addition to a Facebook page, Greystone RV Park, the
Sheltons are members of the National Association of RV
Parks & Campgrounds (ARVC) of North Carolina and
South Carolina. They also hope to have Good Sam RV
Club visit Greystone and rate it for its organization.
Shelton also has linked with Google Maps will bring
up Greystone when someone searches for area camping.
She said the facilities also are available to those in the
area looking for a wedding venue or other event.

results representing a resounding
success for participating employers

More than 25 companies participated, and total participants
numbered 11,337, with 1.8 billion

A Rural Hall, N.C. man has been indicted with
involuntary manslaughter in the May 25 traffic
death of Carroll County, Virginia tow truck driver Russell Nelson.
According to Carroll County Commonwealth’s Attorney Nathan H. Lyons, a Carroll
County Grand Jury indicted Jesse Tang of involuntary manslaughter on Monday. An indictment is a formal charge, not a finding of guilt.
Nelson, 75, was killed the morning of May 25
after loading a disabled vehicle on the cab of his
Russell’s Garage rollback truck. According to
Lyons, Nelson had loaded the vehicle and was
attempting to get into the cab of the rollback
when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Tang
on the shoulder of the road at the 5.5 mile marker of Interstate 77 North, just south of Fancy
Gap, sometime before 9 a.m. that morning.
“The involuntary manslaughter indictment
is based on driver inattentiveness,” Lyons said.
“He was driving on the shoulder when he hit a
pedestrian on the shoulder of the road.”
Renee Metzler, President of Step
Up Carolinas, stated, “Healthy
communities are happy and prosperous communities, so we’re really excited about the results of

Expected heavy boating
traffic for holiday week
4th holiday is traditionally
America’s busiest recreational boating period, with the
most on-the-water traffic. If
you watch fireworks from
a boat, go slowly after fireworks shows end, post extra
lookouts on the way home,
and be prepared for delays at
the launch ramp.
3. In freshwater, very small
amounts of 120-volt AC current can kill. If the kids want
to take a swim, never allow it
in a marina, and only swim
near a private dock if it is
without electrical service or
the power has been shut off
at the source.
4. Dead batteries and prop
entanglements lead the list of
requests for on water towing
assistance.
Download the BoatUS
Towing App at www.BoatUS.com/towingapp to summon water or roadside assistance.
Go ahead and celebrate
America’s birthday with
gusto! Just remember that
being on the water all day
can exacerbate alcohol’s effects, so think about holding off until after you’ve
safely made it home, and
drink lots of water.

SALEM
— The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina and
HanesBrands, a leading
marketer of everyday basic apparel, announced a
partnership that will use
a donation of 5.3 acres of
land from Hanes to build
a wellness park at the Fulton Family YMCA.
Fulton Family YMCA,
located at 385 West Hanes
Mill Road, will convert
the donated land into
an athletic complex that
will include two multipurpose fields, a walking
track, outdoor exercise
elements and a pavilion.
The complex will not
only provide outdoor athletic space, but space to
expand the Fulton Family
YMCA summer day camp
and serve more children in
the local community.
The YMCA will begin
construction on the athletic complex this summer.
Hanes donated the
property as part of the
sale of its former Weeks
hosiery and R&D facility, located at 401 West
Hanes Mill Road.
The project is already
gaining support from the
community.
WinstonSalem Lacrosse is one of
the first donors to support
the field construction and
plans to practice and play
games on the fields.
“We are incredibly grateful to HanesBrands for
demonstrating with this
donation how much they
value our community’s
health and well-being in a
way that will benefit Winston-Salem residents for
years to come,” said Curt
Hazelbaker, president and
CEO of YMCA of Northwest North Carolina.
“The planned athletic
complex will provide outdoor recreation opportunities unlike any in the immediate Hanes Mill Road
area, as well as muchneeded green.”
Hanes, which is located
one mile from the Fulton
Family YMCA, has a long
history of supporting the
branch.
“HanesBrands and its
employees strongly believe
in being great community
partners, and it is only fitting that we collaborate
with a local organization
that shares in our commitment of strengthening
communities,” said Chris
Fox, HanesBrands vice
president of corporate social responsibility.
“We aim to change lives
by meeting the basic needs
of the communities in
which we live and work,
and the new wellness park
is another tool that will allow us to enhance lives.”
Fulton Family YMCA
has had a great long-term
relationship with Hanes.
“This is not only an addition to the Fulton Family YMCA facility – it is
a contribution that will
benefit both Y members
and the local community,” said Richard Daniels,
executive director of the
Fulton Family YMCA.
“Our goal is to be playing
sports on these fields and
enjoying the complex by
fall of this year.”
The
Fulton
Family YMCA manages an
on-site fitness center at
Hanes headquarters on
East Hanes Mill Road in
Winston-Salem.The fitness
center has been a huge
success among employees,
and helps them stay active
and live healthier lives.
Through its annual United Way donations, Hanes
is also a financial contributor to the YMCA’s annual
giving campaign, which
provides program funding
and financial assistance to
ensure no one is turned
away from the YMCA due
to the inability to pay.
The YMCA is one of the
nation’s leading nonprofits
strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and
social responsibility.
The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina engages more than 115,000
people annually, regardless
of age, income or background, to nurture the
potential of children and
teens, improve the community’s health and wellbeing, and provide opportunities to give back and
support neighbors.

physical presence not just
to promise, but to deliver,
lasting personal and social change. Learn more at

The Boat Owners Association of The United States
(BoatUS) says this July 4th
holiday week will be a doozie
for America’s recreational
boaters.
“From June 29 to July
7, America will have more
boats on the water than at
any other time during the entire summer boating season,”
said BoatUS Director of Public Affairs Scott Croft. “Patience will run thin, mistakes
will happen. Our 24-hour call
centers are expecting several
thousand requests for routine breakdowns, dead batteries, or flat trailer tires.”
BoatUS has these five
tips to keep boaters happy and safe:
1. Have a life jacket for
everyone aboard, and if
guests aren’t wearing it,
keep it near them, under a
seat ready to grab. It’s the
number one step you can
take to ensure everyone has
a good day on the water.
If you need to borrow a
right-sized kids life jacket (at
no cost), go to the BoatUS
Foundation’s Free Kids Loaner program, www.BoatUS.

2. Be patient: The July

“Owning a home is part of the
American dream,” said Phyllis
Caldwell, director of The Center for Homeownership. “We
are excited to celebrate that joy
with new and potential homeowners through this event. The
