CIS school supply drive revs up

A shift in the Randolph County Schools budget to fund lead teach-

ers may have an unanticipated impact on the Archdale-Trinity supplemental school tax budget.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

The Council, which oversees the local tax budget, questions such a move in one

of the hardest budget years in history.In April, Randolph County Schools

shifted local money from reading teachers to the lead teacher program.

As a result of the Board’s action, read-ing teachers are funded through Title I money, which is based on the free and re-duced lunch program. All but four elemen-tary schools in the county are eligible for Title I money. Three of the four elemen-tary schools — Hopewell, Lawrence and Trindale — are in the Archdale-Trinity at-tendance area. The fourth school is Farmer Elementary in the Asheboro area.

The question is how to fund reading teachers at those four elementary schools.

“I am for keeping reading teachers in the elementary schools. It is the county’s

They hold books, paper, pens, snacks and a host of other items that won’t fi t in-side a pocket. They normally last only one school year and are what every student needs when school starts — book bags.

Communities In Schools of Randolph County launched its annual Fill The Bus school supply drive with a request specifi -cally for book bags.

Citing a recent 30 percent cut in fund-ing from the Randolph County Commis-sioners, CISRC Executive Director Sandi Norman explained that in past years, the organization bought a supply of book

bags. “We receive generous quantities of paper, notebooks and so forth from the community, but not so many book bags, probably because they are a bit more ex-pensive. So, CISRC, in the past, has used its budgeted funds to make sure each of the students we help has a brand new book bag to start the school year off right.

“This year we just don’t have the funds to do that, so we are appealing to the com-munity to help us meet the needs of these approximately 300 students.”

The book bags should be sturdy and relatively large, as most will be used by upper elementary school students. Book bags should not have wheels.

The faith community is again play-ing a large part in helping CISRC meet this need. “These congregations see Fill The Bus as a part of their home missions work,” Norman explained. “We appreci-ate their generosity and could not provide the current level of support to our com-munity without their help.”

Businesses also play a part in thisyear’s effort. Hubbell Industrial Controlsis hosting a box for their employees todrop off items and other businesses areplanning events and will donate the itemsto CISRC.

CISRC also welcomes monetary dona-tions for school supplies. These contri-butions can be sent to 1011 Sunset Ave.,Asheboro, NC 27203.

Items will be picked up Aug. 16.

A budget shortfall requires that Ran-dolph County Schools cut its bud-

get by 3 percent or $537,290.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

The budget shortfall is due to state and county declines in revenues.

At a July 19 work session, Board of Ed-ucation members voted down a proposal to reduce the number of school resource of-fi cers or to reduce the number of months in which they were employed.

“I’m not for sacrifi cing the kids’ safety,” said board member Gary Cook of Trinity.

The board voted to pursue line item re-ductions in four areas — instructional sup-plies, remediation, staff development and reduction of travel reimbursement.

The Board will hold another budget work session prior to the next regular board meeting Monday, Aug. 16.

Randolph County Schools Finance Offi -cer Todd Lowe expects that the 2010-2011 budget will be fi nalized for presentation at the meeting.

The entrance to the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity may look like just

a driveway, but it’s on its way to becoming a city street.

BY ELIZABETH SAUNDERS

The entrance already sports a street sign labeling it as English Farm Road. The dirt road that formerly bore that name has been renamed Old English Farm Road.

Archdale’s Street Network Plan, updated last year, shows the new road eventually connecting N.C. 62 with

School Road. That may be far off in the future, according to Planning Director Jeff Wells. The road will extend as part of natural development, not as part of any imminent plan.

The YMCA street is 650 feet long, has a 50-foot right of way, and has curb, gutter and a sidewalk. “It’s more than a driveway,” said Wells. Planning

and Public Works staff inspected the street and found thatit met public road requirements.

As when any other development builds a street and thenturns it over to the city, the acquisition has to be reviewedby the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council. The Planning Board ap-proved it July 12. City Council was to have voted on it at the July 27 meeting, too late for this week’s edition.

If approved, English Farm Road will have a one-year warranty phase, after which the city will take over maintenance as part of Archdale’s street system.

Learning to live to serve those in needSplashing, swimming, lying out in

the sun, then we saw it, the fi shing boat cruising across the lake. Flying fast, spurting water every which way. We started laughing — PaPa was at it again. Nanny was clutching his leg and grimacing. Nanny didn’t like to go fast, she liked just cruising along, en-joying every breath, every view, every moment of life.

Balloons, presents, a cake and food, food, food! It’s a birth-day! A party, a time to celebrate — it’s my birthday! My Nanny had it all planned out, all set out, all ready for the family. Birth-days are a time to celebrate, my Nanny said. And celebrate we did! Every birthday, everybody. It didn’t matter whose birth-day, how old, or what day, my Nanny felt it was a privilege to be born and therefore we had to celebrate each one.

Sickness, weakness, illness, Cancer. One word, so much meaning. My Nanny was diagnosed with cancer. But that word had a bigger meaning to her — Fight! Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006, Nanny wasn’t going to let it get her down. Birthdays, trips to the lake, nothing changed. In fact, no one who didn’t know our family could tell that she was even sick. She continued to work, caring for her patients, giving them care and compassion that she herself was in need of, but never once asking for help. Putting her family fi rst, she fought! If anyone needed any-thing, my Nanny was the fi rst person there and the last person to leave. She showed me that there was nothing more important than helping people in need.

People in need. Nanny said there were people in need, but what could I do? Me, only 12 years old, what could I do to help people in need? People like my Nanny. Then it came to me. Nanny told me that each person has gifts given to them by

God; we just need to use them. Well, I have lots of talents, but how could I use them? Then I re-alized a simple need that people with cancer have, something that God had gifted me with, which I took for granted.

It may sound vain, but every-one told me how much they loved my hair. My blonde curls drove me crazy. And my hair grew so fast I could barely go six weeks without needing another trip to the beauty shop. Then it hit me

— my Nanny had needed a wig, so I was sure that others would need one too. Locks of Love is an organization that takes hair from haircuts and makes them into wigs for cancer patients. I could donate my hair to them.

So it began. I had to let my hair grow to be able to cut 10 inches off of it. Brush, brush, comb, comb, but no more haircuts for me until that 10-inch mark.

Time passed. Nanny’s birthday was ap-proaching. I knew what present I was go-ing to give her. I was going to donate my cut hair in her name to Locks of Love. I couldn’t wait to share this special occasion with my Nanny, to show her that someone as young as I could do something to help others by just getting a haircut. It would be the greatest birthday present yet! Just about six more weeks ... I was getting ex-cited. Little did I know that this would be a memory that I would have to experience without my Nanny.

June 8 came, and the donation was sent

to Locks of Love in memory of my beloved Nanny, Rachel Harper. I know she would be so proud!

Splashing, swimming, lying in the sun, hair a little shorter now, and then I saw it — the fi shing boat cruising along the shoreline. Not splashing, not spurting, not fl ying fast past the moments. It was PaPa. Showing Nanny the scenery, slowing down to experience life’s little moments, except this time there was no grimacing face, no clutching hand on his leg. Nanny wasn’t with PaPa, at least not sitting in the boat, but she was there in spirit. Enjoying the slow pace, enjoying the scenery, looking down upon us from Heaven as she smiles, knowing that her loving and caring spirit will be passed down to more generations. Knowing that the moments she spent on earth have left everlasting memories that will inspire me and others to continue to fi nd ways to serve those in need.

Locks of Love is just the fi rst step for me.

Board member Paul Guthrie of Trinity won-dered if there was anything the board could do to be proactive and plan ahead in case of more budget cuts for the following year.

“Can we do anything to soften the blow?” he asked.

“You can’t carry over those state dollars from one year to another,” said Lowe. “Next year will be a whole new ballgame.”

The ballgame for the previous and current budget has been tough.

Lowe informed the board that the state allot-ment shortfall, although bad, wasn’t as devastating

as he had feared.State offi cials mandated that county schools

return $3,857,833 of the $94 million they re-ceive in state funding.

“This is the amount of money we have to give back to the state in whatever category we choose,” said Lowe.

During the 2009-2010 school year the county had to return $2,864,657.

Lowe said another source of funding — low wealth funds — are designed to help mitigate some of the disparities which occur in school districts with low property wealth.

“Low wealth funding this year is $6.4 millionand can be used for almost anything directly re-lated to the classroom, like teacher and teacherassistant salaries, classroom supplies and equip-ment, staff development, etc.,” he said.

As for lottery funds, Randolph CountySchools uses the money to pay for brick-and-mortar construction.

“We have had so much school construction inthe past few years that when we get lottery mon-ey, you can just feel it blow past on the way tothe county commissioners to pay for construc-tion debt,” Cook said.

shifting of funds from the reading teacher posi-tions to lead teachers that I question,” said Arch-dale-Trinity Tax Council Vice Chairman Jeremy Godwin. “These three Archdale-Trinity schools may have to use Archdale-Trinity dollars to fund the reading teachers, but the tax advisory council has not been offi cially notifi ed of this budget change ...

“This is an unfunded county mandate and the result is that Archdale-Trinity tax dollars at these schools will have to be spent to just keep up with the rest of the county’s elementary schools.”

The supplemental school tax, approved by Archdale-Trinity voters in 1969, was designed to supplement area schools.

“Archdale-Trinity property owners pay the school tax in order to provide additional needs and resources to students,” Godwin said.

Becky Coltrane, School Board member and former Tax Council chairman, agrees. “Supple-mentary taxes are collected to help these schools in addition to what the county provides.”

Coltrane and Godwin question if the imple-mentation of lead teachers is a good idea.

“They [the administration] wanted to add the curriculum specialists,” said Coltrane. “They felt that the teachers needed that support.”

She questions if the Board was given the full budget picture when they made the decision.

“We didn’t understand that concept the way that it was presented before,” she said. “We were not cutting the reading teachers, we were just changing the source of funding.”

Godwin also questions the wisdom of creat-ing a new program in the midst of an unpredict-able economy.

“Support positions such as lead teachers areeasier to justify when times are good, but withthe current economic climate, I cannot fathom aschool system creating such a position system-wide.”

The supplemental school tax budget is pri-marily distributed on a per-pupil basis. Eachschool submits to the tax council how the mon-ey will be spent.

Godwin said that the supplemental school taxcan fund salaries, however, the positions shouldhave been included in each school’s budget sub-mitted in April.

According Crystal Clodfelter, director ofkindergarten through fi fth grade instruction forRandolph County Schools, lead teachers havebeen hired for Trindale, John Lawrence andHopewell elementary schools.

‘I love CIS volunteers,’ Ms. Swe-att from New Market Elementary

wrote on her end-of-year teacher survey form for Communities In Schools as she commented on volunteer Terri White. She went on to say that Ms. White was a great role model and talked in detail about her success with the students.

As executive director for Communities In Schools for the last six years, I have tried many approaches to recruit volunteers to mentor students in our schools. I’ve talked about the great need for some of our children to have another responsible, caring adult in their lives. I’ve given examples of real situ-ations that often make me “tear up” when I tell them. I’ve quoted the research about the benefi ts of mentoring.

In a survey by Commonwealth Fund, three-fourths of the mentors reported that their experience had had a “very positive’ ef-fect on their lives. They felt that mentoring provided a break from their busy lives and a chance to give something back.

Eighty-three percent indicated that they learned or gained something personally from their mentoring experience, including feel-ing that they were a better person, increased patience, friendship, a feeling of effective-ness and a chance to acquire skills.

I’ve also stressed that the time require-ment is quite short. It only takes an hour a week to change the life of a child. I’ve even tried to go the corporate route, attempting to convince employers that allowing their employees to mentor “on the clock” would be benefi cial to them. And there are several documented benefi ts. Dr. Susan Weinberger, who is affectionately called Dr. Mentor, sur-veyed Allstate Insurance employees who had

mentored for only seven months and released these fi ndings:

Seventy-fi ve percent of the employees reported that the activity improved their at-titude at work. Eighty-eight percent felt very satisfi ed working as a mentor.

Most of our mentors agree that they get more out of the relationship than they give. But then, while reading Ms. Sweatt’s com-ments, I thought, “Why not let the teachers tell the story?” The names of the children have been changed to protect their identity, but these are real comments about real vol-unteers who speak to the value a mentor has in the life of a child — spoken by those who see the results every day.

“The mentor was wonderful for Billy. I wish there were plenty of mentors to go around because there are many students who would benefi t from that special time with a mentor.”

“Margaret has helped Allyson. With no female infl uence in her life, Allyson has ben-efi tted and loved her time with Margaret.”

“Britt was a positive role model, a great person for Bob to have in his life! He made a huge impact on Bob. (He even remembered his birthday!)”

“I feel that this is a great program. For some of our students, this is the only posi-tive adult interaction they get. They need a program like this to help them see the good in themselves and others.”

“Thank you for putting me in contact with Mrs. Bobbie Hunt. Wow! My students and I could not have been so successful without her weekly support. What an amazing wom-an!”

“Johnathan loved his special lunch dates with Mrs. Sharpe! She was extremely dedi-cated and did so much to help Johnathan

CIS needs mentors

this year. I was very lucky to have the op-portunity to work with Mrs. Sharpe; she is wonderful.”

There are so many more great testimo-nials from teachers, but space prohibits in-cluding all of them. Mentors are needed in every school; we need people of all ages and all walks of life to step up to the plate and make a difference in the life of a child.

Businesses can help by allowing their employees one hour a week to go out into the community and mentor a child. Com-munities In Schools provides a brief train-ing for any “new recruits” interested. Be-fore becoming a mentor, the volunteers must agree to a background check. Then, CISRC staff will work diligently to place every volunteer with a child as soon as pos-sible. Qualifi cations? Being a good listener and a willingness to help a child are most important!

Communities In Schools surrounds stu-dents with a community of support, empow-ering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Through a school-based coordinator, CISRC connects students and their families to critical community resources, tailored to local needs.

Be Careful

Taking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our

seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes.

Archdale Bass Club

Anglers sizzle, bass swim at Randleman The sun, rising slowly over the ho-

rizon on the Saint Peter’s Church Road branch of the Randleman Reser-voir, looked like a big old golden, crusty piece of fried chicken just pulled out of boiling oil. You could almost hear the sharp crackle fade into a slow hiss as it cooled down.

But nothing about this day would cool down, as the Archdale Bass Club fished their second scheduled tournament July 24.Due to the string of dangerously hot days, the club voted to shorten their venture an hour and a half. Even so, more than one club member was feeling it by the end of competition time, with two members leav-

ing the lake early. The heat may have taken a toll on fishermen, but fish care was ex-cellent. Weights were understandably low but, with the accommodation of Randle-man’s helpful staff, everyone weighed and released their catch alive.

Lucas Hutchins weighed the only five-fish limit for a total of 9.86 pounds. Second was Freddie House with three fish weigh-ing 5.63 pounds. Bill Frazier finished third with two fish for 5.38 pounds.

No hints came out of young Mr. Hutchins, but we saw him hanging around main lake points and bends off and on through the day. Second and third places fished within sight of one another early, but it appeared the lures and features fished were very different. Our fish were taken on

open water features with micro jigs.Honorable mention goes to visiting

youth angler Alex Randall, 14. Alex is one of a few young men that wanted to try their hand at full-blown tournament angling this year. Sunscreen-soaked Alex toughed it out with the big boys in the club, sacking two fish with a total of 5.19 pounds. His first fish ever on a jig included his biggest bass yet, at 3.32 pounds. Although he can-not compete in the adult ranks until he’s 16, his weight placed him in overall fourth place in the tournament standings. Consid-ering the conditions, that should at least earn him some bragging rights — and a very big grin.

With four club tournaments left in the year, the standings shake out like this: the

top total weight category is lead by JamieDenison with 47.87 pounds, with our mostexperienced angler, Clayton Proctor, nip-ping at his fins with 47.18 pounds. Thirdplace is steady Ed Brady at 46.73 pounds,with Bill Frazier, Brian Sorrell and Fa-mous James Lewis in the fourth throughsixth slots.

Total points are headed up by SteveGunter, followed by his dad, Sam. Yours truly is in third place with Clayton andJames in fourth and fifth. Ed Brady holdsdown the sixth position. All are withineasy striking distance of moving up withsome very respectable fishing opportuni-ties this fall, on the far side of this unfa-vorable heat wave.

It’s particularly worth pointing out thatfour of the top six positions in both cat-egories are held by guys fishing out of thesame boat. Steve and Sam are fishing part-ners, as are James and Clayton. Being ableto consistently find fish and share themwith the other guy in your boat speaks vol-umes about the courtesy and commitmentto our club motto of “friends, fellowshipand fishing.”

The next club tournament will be Aug. 7, at High Rock Lake out of the Southmontramp. Starting time is at 6 a.m., but theclub did not want to set the weigh-in timewith no end in sight to this heat wave.

Albeit a bit balmy, we’ll see you on thewater.

To accomplish that goal, Sides asks that Randolph County residents share their ideas.

Bush Hill quilt contest to be judgedThe third annual Bush Hill Heritage Festival quilt

contest will allow quilters in Randolph County and the Springfield and Allen Jay areas of High Point to show their creativity, and the creativity of others.

BY ROBYN HANKINS

This year’s contest will include a people’s choice penny vote and a judged competition.

The decision to hold both a people’s choice and a judged show was part of the natural progression of the contest, said Gwen Taylor, quilt show chairman.

“The committee needed time to make sure the quilt contest was some-thing people would continue to be in-terested in,” she said. “We also need-ed time to work out the logistics of a judged show.”

All entries will be entered in both the people’s choice and judged com-petitions. Categories are hand quilted, antique quilt, appliqué quilt, small quilt (smaller than a twin size comforter) and other.

“Our judge, Sandi Zucker, will select the best quilt in each category,” Taylor explained. “Zucker will then select a best-in-show from among all the quilts entered in the contest.”

Taylor said each category will also have first, second and third place winners as determined by penny vote.

“Allowing the public to continue to vote for the best quilt in each category helps us keep this on a local level,” she added.

The quilts with the most votes in each category will be the winners. In case of a tie, the decision of the committee will be final.

For the second year, the contest will be held in the Ham-mond-Ragan House, which was built in 1885 and is listed

on the National Register of Historic Places. It now houses Ed Price & Associates.

“The committee asked us if they could display the quilts here, and we said yes, because it’s just a good fit for us,” said Janice Spainhour, a real estate broker with Price & Associates. “We have some lovely rooms here and we thought it was a great place to show quilts.

“I imagine there were probably a lot of quilts made in this house.”

Quilts entered in the contest do not have to be the work of the person entering the quilt, but the applicant must own the quilt. Only the first 75 quilts will be accepted. No com-

mercially made quilts will be allowed.During the voting, quilts will be

numbered. Names will not be posted until the winners are announced.

Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the festival, Sept. 11. The winners will be announced at 4 p.m.

Anyone interested in entering a quilt in the contest must register by Sept. 1. The entry fee is $5 per quilt,

and a separate application (with attached picture) must ac-company each entry.

Applications are available at www.bushhillfestival.com, or may be picked up at the Archdale-Trinity Cham-ber of Commerce’s office on Balfour Drive.

A quilt may only be submitted in one category, even if it qualifies for two or more. It will be up to the applicant to determine the quilt’s category based on explanations pro-vided by the committee.

Applicants must provide a means of display for each quilt submitted. A small quilt rack is preferred.

The Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, the Bush Hill Heritage Festival Committee and Ed Price & Associ-ates will not be responsible for quilts on display.

All proceeds from the voting will benefit the Chamber and its programs.

THS grad aspires to the big time

Meet your neighbor ...

Matt Dillon

Matthew Dillon heads from the locker room to Finch Field for

a late-afternoon batting practice. Even in the 99-degree heat, he still talks about how much he enjoys baseball.

BY DEBBIE HIGHTOWER

“I’ve always loved the game,” Matt says. “It is so much fun.”

A freshman at Guilford Technical Com-munity College, Matt is taking a break from his studies to play for the HiToms. The right-hander, who also plays second base and shortstop for the HiToms, has pitched 23 innings during his nine appear-ances on the mound.

Home base for the HiToms is Finch Field, a 1,700-seat stadium originally built in 1935 by Thomasville Furniture Indus-tries.

Just like in 1935, the league allows only wooden bats, but the Tommies know how to use ’em. During the afternoon practice, baseballs still escape over the fence and bounce across Ballpark Road.

The team is part of a 15-team Coastal Plain League which allows collegiate ath-letes to build their skills over the summer. Matt, 20, who lives in Trinity, joined play-ers from colleges in Missouri, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Louisi-ana and California.

This is the fi rst year that Matt has played for the HiToms, whose grueling

July schedule included 28 games in 31 days with practices in between games. When he isn’t playing or training, Matt squeezes in several trips per week to Greensboro Batting Center to work on bullpen and arm strength training.

All that means this — during baseball sea-son, he eats, sleeps and breathes baseball.

“Baseball, every day,” said Matt. “That’s it.”

Matt and baseball go way back.He doesn’t remember the fi rst time he

held a ball and bat, but his parents tell him that his fi rst word was “ball.” Matt credits his dad, Joe Dillon, who introduced him to the game when he was barely old enough to walk. He was 4 years old when he wore his fi rst uniform — for a High Point-Deep River T-ball team.

Over the years, Matt’s uniforms have been different colors, but his love for the game has remained the same. Matt has held a position on team rosters of the High Point-Deep River league and Archdale Parks and Recreation’s youth baseball team. He played for a team organized by Greensboro Bat-ting Center for fi ve years. In high school, he played for the American Legion Post 87 team based at Finch Field for two years.

His mother, Kim Cook Dillon, said that as a youngster Matt needed no urging to go to baseball practic-es or games.

“That was something that he always wanted to do and loved,” she said.

The 2008 Trinity High School graduate played football in addi-tion to baseball. During his junior year, he suf-fered a football injury.

“I tore my ACL (ante-rior cruciate ligament),” said Matt. “I had knee surgery and it was a big setback, baseball-wise.”

Matt had a successful fi rst year as recruit pitcher for the GTCC Titans.

GTCC Head Baseball Coach John Barrow said, “Matt was our team MVP this season as he led our squad in batting average (.421), home runs (7) and stolen bases (15). He was

also a 2nd Team All-Region selection as an outfi elder (he also played shortstop towards the end of the season). He set a school record this year for batting average in a season. Pitching-wise, he was second on the team in wins (4), strikeouts (56) and innings pitched (54.1).

“This was his fi rst season here at GTCC. I think that the sky is the limit for Matt. He has a ton of natural ability and has really matured over the last couple of years into a great overall player. Natural-ly, we are counting on him tremendously this year not only as a hitter and position player, but also as a pitcher.

“I am very excited to see what he can do this coming season,” Coach Barrow said.

“I hope to see other kids grow as much as I’ve seen Matt grow over the past three years,” said Rob Shore, Matt’s high school baseball coach, who now coaches the American Legion team based at Finch Field. “He’s different in that he’s older and more mature. I think what has changed is that now he can see the fruit of his hard work on the athletic fi eld. It’s giving him motivation to be successful in other areas of his life.”

Joe would agree about the hard work part. He kept count as Matt

played 189 games over 31 weeks as a young teenager in a 14-and-under AAU league.

But Joe also believes that Matt has worked even harder

this summer as a HiTom player.“This year he has given it his

all,” said Joe, who has attended every HiToms home game during the 2010 sea-son.

Other family members enjoy the games, too — his mom Kim, brother Bryan Cook, sister Madison Dillon, stepmother Deiska Dillon and his grandparents Bobby and Carolyn Cook.

With an eye on the future, Matt would like to continue his connection to baseball.

“I would like to go play at the next lev-el — professional,” he said. “Coaching is also a possibility.”

Coach Barrow agrees about possibili-ties for Matt’s future.

“He is getting a lot of attention now from many colleges and universities, and does have pro potential as well,” he said.

In the past fi ve years, at least 10 children in NorthCarolina have died from hyperthermia after beingtrapped in hot vehicles.

“These deaths are preventable,” said Insurance Com-missioner Wayne Goodwin, state chairman of Safe KidsNorth Carolina. “A child should never be unattended ina car, for any length of time or at any time of year. Weneed to work to reverse this tragic trend.”

Hyperthermia can occur even on days with mild 70degree temperatures. The temperature in a closed ve-hicle can rise about 20 degrees in 10 minutes and nearly30 degrees in 20 minutes. Cracking a window has littleeffect.

Safe Kids North Carolina offers these safety tips forall parents and caregivers:

• Never leave a child alone in a vehicle. • Lock the doors when your vehicle is parked. Cars

are not places to play.• Place your purse, briefcase or other important items

in the backseat next to your child’s car seat so you haveto look in the back before leaving the car.

• If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle,call 911 immediately.

• Check vehicles and trunks fi rst if a child goes missing.

Helping Mom cook in the kitchen as a young boy, Sammy Gianopoulos always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. Not a fireman putting out blazing fires, not a policeman chasing bad guys, not a football or baseball hero or even a doctor earning a comfortable living. He wanted to be a restaurant owner so that he could make people smile with a full belly of good food. As he became a young man, he added being a chef to his list of achievements.

Gianopoulos, former owner of Aquaria Seafood Grill, is now one of five owners of the o’So’s Restaurant group with the newest location of o’So Tavern at the former home of Aquaria Seafood Grill on 3800 Tinsley Drive in High Point. He is joined with Johnny Pappas and the family of Spiro Strates, Pete Strates and Jimmy Strates.

Closing Aquaria and joining with the o’So Restaurant group has given Gianopoulos the capability to have an eclectic menu and no longer be perceived only as a seafood grille. o’So Tavern’s menu is varied and can appeal to all appetites and budgets. Starting at $6.29 with o’So Nachos, their Greek version with spinach, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, olives with creamy havarti cheese and feta cheese served over chips to just less than $20 for Filet Mignon or grilled Sea Bass entree served with one of o’So’s assorted sides. o’So Tavern still has many of Aquaria’s old favorites like the Royal Thai Shrimp appetizer or the famous Prime Rib of Beef entreé. But a lot of new favorites have been added for lunch and dinner.

Lunch always brings a daily special created by the chefs as well as menu staples of Specialty Burgers and Chicken Sandwiches to the Toasty Portabella Sandwich, Prime Reuben, Club Wrap, Tuna Roll and many more. Smaller hot entree portions are served for lunch which reflect a sample of the dinner menu with such specialties as Kahlua Pecan Chicken with a pecan brown sugar crust topped with a pineapple cilantro sauce to “What Happened,” a grilled chopped steak topped with homemade marinara, melted cheese blend served over cheese ravioli and parmesan alfredo sauce.

Salad lovers and those with small appetites, do not fret. Soups, salads and “Little Eats” are available at lunch and dinner with such specialties as o’So Chicken Skewers, Gyro bites, Brie or Not to Brie Salad, B.L.T. Wedge Salad, Fried Oyster Salald, Scallop Quesadilla, Fried Mater and many more.The possibilities are endless no matter what time of day you join them to squelch your appetite.

o’So Tavern has private seating available for catered parties of 30 to 35. It is recommended to have a set menu, or limited choices for large parties, so that
