‘Celebrating Agriculture’ returnsBy Bill [email protected]
Cow Patty Bingo will make its debut as a “Cel-ebrating Agriculture” activity in Fisher River Park on Saturday, Sept. 9, according to Joanna Radford, Extension Agent, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and organizer of “Celebrating Agriculture.”
The new event, spon-sored by Surry Central Future Farmers of Amer-ica (FFA), will take place about midway through Saturday’s festivities, which run from 2 — 7 p.m.
For Cow Patty Bingo, a paddock or enclosure will be divided into 300 squares and FFA mem-bers have been selling the squares and will continue selling them until they are sold out or it is time for the game to begin. At that point, a cow will be released
into the area and the first square to be ‘gifted’ with a cow patty will be the winner. In the event that first poop lands in mul-tiple squares, a judge will select the winner.
If the cow has failed to do her business and time is running out on the fes-tival, a backup cow will be on hand to take over the duties of the non-performing cow. If all the squares are not sold and the first cow patty lands in an unsold square, the prize will revert to the Surry Central FFA.
Not all of the activities at Celebrating Agricul-ture are as complex as Cow Patty Bingo but they do share a common denominator. They all celebrate and spotlight the role of agriculture in everyday life as well as the role of agriculture in the local economy, which even with the decline of tobacco as an economic
engine, is still 24 per-cent of Surry County’s economy.
The event began approximately 13 years ago — Joanna Radford says no one at the exten-sion office is exactly sure how many years it’s been — when Extension’s advisory council wanted some kind of an event to boost awareness of agriculture in the county. Or as Radford puts it, “where food comes from.”
She says that, “even though Surry is a rural county, many children believed food came from the grocery store.” She said that long-ago advi-sory council wanted to do something to alter that perception, to bring people together so they could learn about agri-culture.
“The mission and the goal of ‘Celebrating Agriculture’ has not
changed,” she says.In addition to the inau-
gural game of Cow Patty Bingo, North Carolina Department of Agricul-ture will be on hand with “The Big Cart,” an enor-mous shopping cart to promote local food and “Germ City,” an activity booth where children will learn the importance of hand washing and how to do it correctly.
Returning from previ-ous years will be antique and classic tractors, a petting farm, 4-H kids area, corn shelling, a farmer’s market, Master Gardener plant sale and beekeepers.
Music will be per-formed by “Surry Line” from 2:30 until 6:30 p.m. with a break from 4:30 until 5 p.m. for “Rhyth-mic Expressions” to perform. Music will be performed at the amphi-

Although Florida and several Caribbean islands seem to be in the cross-hairs of Hurri-cane Irma at present, local and state officials are getting ready for the storm’s possible arrival in North Carolina next week.
“The state has really got everything on stand-by and are already pulling up resources that can be ready at a central staging area in Butner,” said John Shelton, director of Surry County Emergency Services. He made his remarks Thursday following a daily conference call for state emergency services coordinators.
Shelton said resources have been committed to assist statewide, with what he called a prime mover truck fueled and ready to go wherever its needed. The truck is equipped with chainsaws and winches.
“We have a couple of people ready on standby to work in Butner with disaster software if our folks get deployed,” he said.
“Locally, we’ve talked will all of our agencies that we normally do to get prepared,” Shelton said, adding that this morning, a meeting will be held at the county’s emergency operation center to coordinate with school staff, forestry, health service, Department of Transportation, Red Cross officials and many others, “in the event it happens like Hugo did.”
Hurricane Hugo, which came through the Carolinas in 1989, downed trees and left power outages in its wake. That storm also was a mid-September hurricane, making landfall just north of Charleston, South Carolina, as a Category 4 storm. It tracked up through South Carolina and skirted the western Piedmont as the center trav-eled over the foothills and mountains of North
City board approves dog tethering banBy Tom [email protected]
The Mount Airy Board of Commissioners took unanimous action Thursday afternoon which will soon make the tethering of dogs illegal in the city limits.
Its 5-0 vote to prohibit the practice of pets being restrained in outdoor areas by chains, ropes and leashes — effective Jan. 1, 2018 — came on the heels of similar action last year by Surry County officials. They voted in favor of the tethering ban to prevent neglect and abuse of animals left exposed to harsh weather conditions for long peri-
ods without adequate shelter and access to food and water.
County animal control offi-cers long have had enforcement power in the city and it was first thought that the restraint mea-sure approved for Surry auto-matically would include Mount Airy under a decision by munici-pal officials in May 2000. It gave permission for the Surry County Animal Control Ordinance to be applicable within the city limits, including any amendments to that ordinance.
However, “contradictions” between city and county animal regulations later were discov-
ered, Mount Airy Police Chief Dale Watson said when explain-ing the situation during Thurs-day afternoon’s meeting.
It earlier was reported that after a complaint recently was received by county animal con-trol personnel about tethering in Mount Airy, a check of city zon-ing regulations showed that prac-tice is presently allowed as part of the city’s leash law provisions. Tethering animals effectively is permitted with the prohibition on dogs running at large.
This prompted a proposed change in Mount Airy’s regula-tions to explicitly ban tethering

Rather than dwell on end days, take comfort in ChristMy AnswerBy Billy Graham
Q: I can’t help but wonder if we’re living in the last days. Are we? There’s so much conflict and turmoil in the world, and I don’t see any answer unless God inter-venes and brings it all to an end. Am I being too pessimistic? — Mrs. V.T.
A: You’re right; we do live in a world that is constantly torn by conflict and chaos and fear. And because of the development of nuclear and bio-chemical weapons of mass destruction, the world is arguably the most dangerous it has ever been. Jesus warned that as the end of the present age approaches, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. … Nation will rise against nation, and king-dom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6-7).
Jesus, however, cautioned us against trying to predict exactly when He would come again, or when the present age would come to an end. (From time to time people have ignored His warning, claiming they knew exactly when Christ was coming — only to be discredited.) At the same time, Christ repeatedly promised that someday God will inter-
vene and Christ will come again to rule in perfect justice and peace. No wonder the Bible calls this “the blessed hope — the appear-ing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).
In the midst of our chaotic world, take comfort in the fact that evil will not win, and some day Christ’s victory over evil and injustice will be complete. Take
comfort especially in the fact that when we know Christ and have committed our lives to Him, we have hope — hope for our lives right now, and hope for all eternity.
In the meantime, make it your goal to live for Christ, and to point others to the peace and hope we have in Him.

Walk to end Alzheimer’s is happening Saturday
The Alzheimer’s Association of Western Carolina will be holding a Walk to End Alzheimer’s Saturday at Riverside Park in Mount Airy.
Former Mount Airy Mayor Deborah Cochran will be hosting the day’s events, which get underway with 9 a.m. registration. At 10 o’clock will be the opening ceremony, followed by the walk. Those participating have the option of completing either a one-mile or two-mile walk before the closing ceremony begins at 11:30 a.m.
The event is a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research as well as a time to learn about the disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment, and support programs and services from the Alzheimer’s Association.
Some facts the Association shared about the debilitating disease:
- One in 10 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia;
- More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, a number estimated to grow to as
many as 16 million by year 2050;
- Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women;
- African-Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s or other dementias;
- Hispanics are about one and one-half times as likely to have Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
Standard and handicap-accessible parking is located inside Riverside Park. The entrance is off East Independence Boulevard.

theater.Radford stresses that
most everything is free. She says, “we get a lot of sponsorship from within the county and nearby counties.” Items will be available for purchase at the farmer’s market and plant sale, and at food booths but most food vendors have a connec-tion to Extension and prices are reasonable. One of those vendors is the NC State campus dairy who will be on hand with their own brand of ice cream, “Hal-loween Cow.”
“We just want to pro-vide a place where you can enjoy yourself and not be stressed,” says Radford.
“Celebrating Agricul-
ture” will be at Fisher River Park, 251 County Home Road, Dobson, Saturday, Sept. 9, from 2 — 7 p.m. Rain or shine. Joanna Radford hopes the weather will

Corn-shelling returns to this year’s “Celebrating Agriculture.” Here, Davis Seivers, 6, of Pilot Mountain, gets a kick out of shelling corn at last year’s festival.
Tom Jouce | The News
A hayride rolls through the busy grounds of Fisher River Park during 2016’s Celebrating Agri-culture event.
Carolina.“As powerful as it (Irma) is, if it
takes the path of Hugo, we could be hit harder, and emergency services will be taxed to the limit,” said Keith Vestal, director of Yadkin County Emergency Services.
“We are just watching the storm to see what path it takes and hoping and praying it doesn’t come through us,” said Shelton, adding the county has gotten pricing from private con-tractors in case more resources are needed for clearing debris. He said he’d been told generators were being bought quickly countywide as well.
Even with emergency crews opera-tional and prepared, Vestal encour-aged local residents to be prepared to take care of themselves in a storm and its aftermath.
“We need each family and house-hold to be self-sufficient for the first 72 hours, with water, food and sup-plies,” he said. “If you live in an area where your power could be affected and you are on well water, fill up containers like bathtubs and things that could be used to flush toilets. If you have food safe containers, you can store up your own personal well water.”
Already stores are selling out and seeing shortages of items like bottled water, Vestal said, noting he’d been to the Yadkinville Food Lion Thursday morning to get sodas for a meeting and was told they were out of water already. “Save that water for drink-ing, and use the other water stored up now for bathing and flushing toi-lets.”
For those without power, Vestal cautioned if people are cooking with charcoal or gas grills or camp stoves, be sure to do that outside where there is good ventilation. “The big-gest concern there is carbon mon-oxide poisoning, so anything that burns should be outside and well ven-tilated,” he said. “If you are running generators to run power to keep food from going bad, get the generators outside where it is in well-ventilated air. Don’t risk carbon monoxide, the silent killer.”
In a press conference at lunchtime Thursday, Gov. Roy Cooper said, “It’s
too soon to know how North Caro-lina is going to be impacted, but it is not too soon to get ready for it.”
While he assured everyone that the state is doing everything it can to prepare for the storm as well as the recovery that may follow, Cooper encouraged residents to take advan-tage of the good weather over the weekend to update their emergency preparedness kits with water, food, batteries and working flashlights and any other items they may need.
Nick Petro, warning coordination meteorologist with the Raleigh office of the National Weather Service, said, “The forecast is becoming clearer that North Carolina will see signifi-cant impact Monday into Tuesday. Be ready for heavy rain and inland wind damage with downed trees and flash flooding.”
He didn’t expect flooding to be as significant as it was when Hurricane Harvey stalled over Texas last week, because Petro said Irma is a fast-moving storm.
“Across the mountains, the rain could lead to flash flooding and mud slides. The track is more inland and further west, but the coastal area will see heavy dangerous surf, rip cur-rents and overwash. The flooding like with Matthew is not expected at this time.”
Cooper declared a state of emer-gency, which took effect Thursday morning. The governor and State Emergency Management Director Mike Sprayberry explained the pur-pose for that declaration was three-fold.
The state of emergency declaration allows the North Carolina National Guard to be designated active duty, allows use of state emergency funds to provide for adequate response, and waiving of time and weight restric-tions for trucks so that power compa-nies can come in and get set up.
State officials noted that by the time Irma reaches North Carolina it will likely be downgraded to tropi-cal storm status, but they cautioned that doesn’t mean the storm system shouldn’t be taken seriously.
“Just because it is tropical storm strength doesn’t mean it won’t be
very dangerous, because of tropical force winds and flash flooding,” said Cooper. “We still don’t know for sure, but we are planning for everything.”
By Wednesday, the storm system should be out of North Carolina, Petro added.
A resource suggested by local and state authorities to be able to watch traffic and weather conditions, where shelters may be opened, tips on emer-gency preparedness and more is by visiting readync.org or download the ReadyNC app.

to conform with the county’s 2016 action, while also maintaining language aimed at making sure dogs otherwise are restrained.
“So it just puts us on the same page,” Chief Watson said Thursday of the reasoning behind tweaking the municipality’s rules, while adding that abusive tethering of animals has not been a major problem in town.
“Progressive enforcement” plannedThe city commissioners seemed to agree Thursday with the change, but did
have questions about its implications.“What kind of hardship will this be on the people who tether now?” Com-
missioner Shirley Brinkley asked.Watson referred to the fact that affected pet owners will have nearly four
months to adjust their situations in order to comply with the prohibition on dogs running at large without the restraint practice in question.
The police chief added that the goal will be a “progressive enforcement” scenario.
“We start with warnings and work our way up,” Watson said of that proce-dure, which city police have employed in the past to break in some new regu-lation. “The goal is not charges, just compliance.”
Penalties for violations can include impoundment of animals, with owners liable for the related costs.
Another question came Thursday afternoon from Commissioner Steve Yoke-ley, about who will respond if a citizen complains about a dog being tethered.
“If they call the police, we will respond,” Watson said. “If they call Animal Control, they will respond.”
The animal resolution approved Thursday by the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners makes it clear that all other future amendments and updates to the county’s measure will be applicable to the city.
Under the county’s anti-tethering measure, pet owners with extenuating circumstances can apply for an exemption to the ban. This requires an on-site visit by animal officers to ensure an area is safe, the owner is providing adequate living conditions and the dog has the opportunity to socialize daily.
The county also prescribes the use of cable “trolley systems,” which allow unrestrained freedom of movement and exercise by dogs while also keeping them confined.

The prophecy of Nahum says God is loving, just
Church Calender
Rev. Kitty MearsThe story of ancient
Ninevah, according to the commentary by Matthew Henry, was a magnificent display of God’s judgment and mercy, his sovereignty over nations, and his love for the nation of Israel. Nahum’s letter to the Assyrian Empire spoke of future terror to the city and vindica-tion for Israel. Nahum’s name in Hebrew meant “comfort” to Israel, yet judgment to Israel’s enemies.
Just over a century earlier, the prophet Jonah preached a short message to Ninevah, “Repent, for judg-ment is coming.” As a result, the entire city repented and experi-enced a major revival. For a century, the city repented of its wick-edness toward other nations. However, the older generation failed to train the younger generation in the teach-ings of God.
Notice a haunting verse from Judges 2:10-12, “And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baa-lim. And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers.”
During the time of Nahum, the Assyrians had reverted back to their old wicked hab-its. They once again raided neighboring nations. They divided families by selling them into slavery. They plundered towns, stole anything of value and burned crops. They devastated communi-ties in order to rob the wealth to hold for their own.
Ninevah had become proud. Their pride rest-ed on their 100-foot tall walls and the safety of the Tigris River. They were proud of their wealth that they had plundered and horded for themselves. They were proud of their ability to send terror to neighboring nations and to intimidate their own way to supremacy. They remembered their own deeds, but forgot God.
Nahum was not intimidated. In his let-ter of prophecy, Nahum described the character of God. According to Biblical historians, Nahum wrote this short book, only 47 verses total, as a warn-ing to Ninevah and a comfort to the nation of Judah.
After composing the oracle, he stood on the hills in Galilee and read it out loud, possibly knowing that Assyrian scouts were hiding out in groves or bushes in
order to plan another attack. Boldly, Nahum delivered the message by saying, “God is jeal-ous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furi-ous; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for His enemies. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked…”
In his message, Nahum described some of the characteristics of God. God is jealous over His people, which meant that God was passionate about His people. He took note of each raid that was made by the Assyrian army. He took note of each tear shed by families who became forcefully separated as slaves for the citizens of Ninevah. He made a note of their wealth stolen by the Assyrian army. God had had enough.
Notice in chapter 1:7-8, Nahum gave a clue on how God was going to destroy the city of Ninevah. Nahum said, “The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place there-of, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.”
According to Biblical
historians, after Nahum proclaimed his oracle, the Tigris River flood-ed which caused parts of the city’s 100-foot wall to cave in. East of Ninevah was the city of Babylon that had been scouting Ninevah for several years for a possible invasion. After the flood, the Babylonian army made a surprise invasion, in which they captured the city’s wealth of silver and gold. The city was leveled and burned; its inhabitants were carried away cap-tive, and the city was never rebuilt.
What can we learn from Nahum? God is loving and just. He takes note of His chil-dren’s trials because He knows those who are called by His name. God has an eternal love for His children.

Dear Heloise: A month ago, my girl-friend and I went on a TRIP TO A FOR-EIGN COUNTRY, and while we had a nice time, we noticed that on the way home, both of our heads seemed to itch. It didn’t take long to discover that we had picked up head lice!
While telling friends about our unfortunate discovery, we found out that some of them had unexpectedly taken home spiders and even a scorpion in their luggage. I used to laugh at my grandmother, who would look all over a hotel/motel room, behind the curtains, pull back the covers on the bed, etc., but now I understand why she did what she did. It never hurts to examine a room with more care. -- Victor D., Hempstead, N.Y.
Victor, here are some sug-gestions for when you travel overseas:
* When you first get to a hotel, put your luggage (still packed) in the bathroom while you check your room.
* Don’t forget to lift the mattress and look under there, and be sure to check for bugs, especially at the head of the bed.
* Check the sheets by pulling back the bedcovers.
* Place your luggage on a luggage rack, up off the floor. You might even want to pack those very large plastic bags and keep your luggage in those.
* When you finally return home, wash all whites in hot water with half a cup of bleach. Tumble everything in a hot dryer to make sure you kill any would-be travelers.

WANT TO REDUCE STRESS?
Dear Heloise: I’ve been a travel agent for nearly 20 years, and I can tell you firsthand that the benefits of travel in reducing stress and mak-ing life more exciting are huge. Many of the ben-efits are intangible, but still are well worth the effort to take a trip some-where new. It’s no secret that Americans take very little time off from work when compared with other countries, such as France, Finland and Spain. Life is short, and all of us need time to relax and rejuvenate. -- Helen M., Tulsa, Okla.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Sept. 8, 2017:Relationships in general be-come more important than in the recent past. Whether interacting with a boss or a partner, you’ll discover how good you feel with a strong interpersonal foundation. If you are single, you break precedent and become less fussy and critical, which allows several interesting potential suitors to come toward you. You could form a key bond this year. If you are attached, the two of you learn to flow together and to accept your differences as something positive. You experience increased respect and kindness between the two of you, though you are the leader in these changes. ARIES often challenges your logic. Don’t take it personally. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Posi-tive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-DifficultARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Put your best foot forward. Understand what separates you from an au-thority figure. You simply might be less conservative and more active than this person. You have a well-defined procedure when approaching a difficult or unknown situation. Know that you can blaze your own path! Tonight: Christen the weekend with friends.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HH Know when to back down and become less as-sertive. You are often stub-born and hold your ground despite opposition. This at-titude could be the source of a problem right now. De-fer and be willing to let oth-ers assume a stronger role. Tonight: Do for you.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Gemini can be quite the socialite. You could find that you might be unusually busy having a conversation about an im-portant topic. Squeezing in other social activities could be hard. Tonight: Decide to lighten up the moment.CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take charge and deal with a problem that keeps rearing its ugly head. You have what it takes to smooth out a rough spot. Be aware of what a parent, older relative or loved one wants. Maintain a sense of humor, as you might hear commentary you would like to erase from your mind. To-night: Being noticed wher-ever you are.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHH Keep reaching out for more information and opinions. The bigger the selection, the better your responses can be. You see more options than most people. You are also will-ing to take a course or two if the experience will open
you up to new thinking. To-night: Start planning a trip or weekend away in the near future.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)HHHHH One-on-one re-lating takes you down a new path if you are open to a new type of adventure. How you see a new possibility could radically change given time and space. The introduction to this experience is likely to come through a loved one or close friend. Tonight: Make it your pleasure to be with a favorite friend!LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Continue defer-ring to others. The time to reclaim the pulpit and let others know about your ideas isn’t quite yet. You could learn a lot about oth-ers instead. You will know when to move on a certain issue as a result. Tonight: Hit several different TGIFs. The mix and differences might be intriguing.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)HHH Pace yourself and get as much done as possible. You could be tired with the same old places, people and spots. In true Scorpion form, blaze a trail in a new direc-tion. Changing the setting and the people could revive you in many different ways. Tonight: Let the fun begin.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)HHHH You might want to check in with friends to see
what is going on. Your sense of humor comes out when dealing with an associate, co-worker or acquaintance. Stop to have a conversation with this person more often. Tonight: Think weekend. Who would you most like to be with?CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHHH You have the abil-ity to read between the lines and notice what was not shared. You also might want to ask a question to confirm a hunch. This ac-tivity could involve family, your home life and what you most want from a re-lationship. Tonight: Invite a friend or two over.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHHH You might want to reach out to someone you haven’t seen in a while. This person is part of your life, and you often act like siblings when you are to-gether. Don’t take any statements about some-one else as fact. There could be some gossip mixed in. Tonight: Catch up on news with friends.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)HHH You could go haywire with your spending and not even be aware of the dam-ages you are creating. Use good sense, even when treating someone to lunch. Choose a moderately priced restaurant. The company is what counts. Tonight: Play away stress.
HOROSCOPE
Dear Annie: My 28-year-old son, “Jerry,” will not pay his college loan bill -- which is $85,000 -- even though he has a good job.
Jerry insisted that he had to go to an out-of-state college. Our agreement was that my husband and I would cover an amount equal to what an in-state school would’ve cost and that Jerry would pay the differ-ence when he finished school. The total student loan started out at $130,000, and we have paid it down to $85,000. My husband, his step-father, co-signed for it, and we have been stuck with paying it for seven years. It turns out that Jerry didn’t even finish his degree. He flunked out of school and then lied to us about it.
Despite our repeated efforts to talk to Jerry about this, he ignores us. It has caused such heartbreak. He wouldn’t even let us visit and meet our only granddaughter for over a year because he doesn’t want to talk to us -- just in case we bring up the loan.
I am 66, and my husband is 59.
We are looking forward to retiring in two years, but we have this student loan hang-ing over our heads. We both work for nonprofits, so our income is certainly limited. Our son has bought two houses, bought two new cars, gotten married and had a child and still won’t pay this loan. I have no idea what he has told his wife, but I’m sure it’s not the truth.
We have talked with an attorney, but I hate to have to sue my son. He never calls, visits or acknowl-edges our birthdays or Christmas -- yet he adores his in-laws and his friends from college. He calls them his “college family.” I am so fed up with this situation. I am really tired of spending therapy money talk-ing about this. I have sent presents and cards and tried my best to be a good mother and grandmother -- but to no avail. Should I just go ahead with the attorney? Any help would be so appreciated. -- Sad and Over It, With Empty Pockets
Dear Empty Pockets: Let’s see whether I’ve got this straight: Your son agrees to pay part of his student loans, persuades your husband to co-sign the note for his loan, drops out of college and then lies to you and your husband about it. You and your husband have paid tens of thousands of dollars on the note, while your son has paid zero, but because you protected his cred-it rating, he was able to buy two houses and two cars. Is that right?
Obviously, he harbors a great deal of resentment against you, and refusing to talk about the situ-ation -- while he does nothing to own up to his obligations -- only reinforces his permanent pout. Yes, I would recommend hiring a lawyer, if for no other reason than to force him to talk about it. Don’t sue him unless you have to, but a strong letter from an attorney could at least bring him to the negotiating table. Your only hope is to start communicating, even if you have to force your son to the initial conversation.
Son has act together but is still a deadbeat

By Cory [email protected]
DOBSON — The Surry Central volleyball team is like a puzzle. Not one of the puzzles with 15-pieces that make a picture of the Very Hungry Caterpillar that I like to put together, but more of a complex, 1,000-piece mosaic of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
All of the pieces are there for the Golden Eagles to fly high on the court, as they have shown all season, but failed to put all the pieces together against Forbush.
“We just didn’t have it tonight,” Central Coach Carrie Bruce said. “We could get good balls up but couldn’t do anything with them.”
Central started off strong with big plays from Taylor Coe. Coe showed her versatility up front with a block and kill for the Eagles’ first two points. Coe’s efforts, combined with a few service errors on the side of the Falcons, allowed Surry Central to gain a 9-5 lead. Colby Crater of Forbush closed the gap with powerful serving to give the Falcons their first lead of the set since 1-0.
The Eagles and Falcons duked it out in the air with powerful kills on both ends. For the Eagles, Coe and Tara Blevins took to the skies and sent powerful spikes straight to the hardwood. The Fal-cons’ Camryn Doub and Parkley Hennings fought back with kills of their own to keep the game close throughout the teens. Surry Central held a slim lead until the game was tied at 20 apiece.
Forbush chose this time to take off, hammering serves at the home team to go up 23-20. Coe had an excellent hit to end the run, but it was too little too late as the Falcons scored the next two points to take the first set 25-21.
The second set housed some of the frustrations that Coach Bruce expressed after the game. Mis-communication and service errors by the Eagles let Forbush take the lead early. Despite their struggles, Central kept it close and eventually tied the game at 7. The girls in gold capitalized on mis-takes by the visiting team to pull ahead 10-7.
Points were exchanged by the two teams with neither able to gain a distinct advantage. Rallies were long and both teams made good plays to win points rather than relying on unforced errors by their opponent. That was, until Central’s Jenna Simpson decided to take over. Simpson’s net play was extraordinary, but was overshadowed by her amazing serves.
The southpaw powered her serves mere inches over the net at high speeds. Slowly the lead for Surry Central began to grow until the scoreboard read 19-13. With possession back in the hands of the Falcons, they were able to set the pace for longer rallies that often went in their favor. They chipped away at the seemingly insurmountable lead before Coach Bruce called a timeout at 23-19, still favoring the Eagles. But the good feelings for Central would diminish as Forbush tied the set at 23 and exchanged points before shockingly taking the second set 28-26.
The third set went by a similar formula as the previous two. The teams fought neck-and-neck, with each team succeeding with their specialty; the Eagles with blocking and strong serving and the Falcons with long rallies. Ebony Williams of Forbush worked her tail off to keep the ball in play and was diving all over the court. Once again the lead bounced back and forth until, once again, Surry Central pulled away on a 7-1 run to lead 20-13 before a Forbush timeout.

Lady Eagles blankLady Hounds, 9-0Staff Report
DOBSON — Without a doubt, the unbeaten Surry Central girls’ tennis team can now say it is the best team in Surry County.
The Lady Golden Eagles returned to the courts after an eight-day absence on Thurs-day evening, and it was clear that no rust had set in as Cen-tral rolled to a 9-0 victory over county rival North Surry in a Western Piedmont Athletic Conference match.
Surry Central improved to 6-0 on the season and 2-0
in conference play. Central won all six singles matches in straight sets and also swept the doubles, with only North’s experienced doubles tandem of Katherine Parsons and Cal-lie Willard making a strong challenge. In the the No. 1 doubles, Hannah Pardue and Sarah Wyble had to battle for an 8-5 victory over Parsons and Willard.
In the singles matches, Par-due claimed the No. 1 match 6-1, 6-2 against Parsons, and Wyble downed Willard
Eagles flounder against Falcons
By John [email protected]
North Surry head volleyball coach Shane Slate recently spoke of the maturity his team possessed. It was in evidence once again on Thursday evening.
One day after an emo-tional, come-from-behind win over arch-rival East Surry, the top-ranked Lady Hounds had to avoid a letdown in an important Western Piedmont Athletic Con-ference match against a quality West Stokes team. In fact, with the Lady Wildcats consid-ered one of the top chal-lengers to North’s domi-nance in league play this season, it was even more imperative that North Surry play at the top of its game.
The five seniors and four juniors that the Lady Hounds deploy passed the test with flying colors, down-ing West Stokes 25-19, 25-21, 25-16 to take an early stranglehold on the race for a conference title after beating both Forbush and West book-ended by the victory over the rival Lady Cardinals.
“We talked about how it was going to be a tough week with three solid teams that were all going to be highly motivated,” said Slate. “Having a good non-con-ference match in between two really important conference matches is tough, but we came out with three wins. We didn’t play with as much consistency as we’d have liked, but we did do a lot of good things.”
North Surry (11-0, 4-0 WPAC) was strongly challenged by the Lady Wildcats (8-2, 2-1) in all three sets, but North proved equal to every challenge, taking control of each set in the end-game. The opening set of the match set the tone. In this one, the teams traded blows and split the first 30 points before the Lady Hounds finally got on a roll and pushed out to a 20-16 advantage. West was able to slice the lead back to two
points at one point, but North pulled away for a 25-19 win.
Set two started the same way, with the teams tied at 7 after 14 points had been played. Then Paige Sizemore, who had one of her best matches of the season (11 kills, 12 digs and four aces) stepped to the service line, and with a combination of strong serving and attack by Mikaela Johnson, Camille Cartwright and herself, helped the Lady Hounds reel off five straight points before West Stokes coach Jor-dan Stevens called time-out. However, Sizemore served an ace right out of the break, and the score got to 14-7 before Mackenzie Parker finally scored a kill to get West on the board again. However, North kept pressing its advantage, and reached a 10-point margin at 19-9 after Johnson scored a block, then slammed back an over-set ball, and Dixie Fulk followed that up with an ace.
However, the Lady
Wildcats didn’t come up to roll over for North Surry, and they didn’t. West Stokes mounted a furious rally, winning seven of the next 10 points thanks to strong defense by Abigail Gordon and Taylor Cun-ningham, and Parker setting up Rachel Del-camp on the attack. After Delcamp served an ace, West was within 22-16 before North Surry finally caught a break. Sizemore put a ball at the top of the net, which rolled across the tape and finally came down on the West Stokes side for a lucky kill and a 23-16 lead. But even this didn’t discourage the visitors. They won the next two points and missed by inches from a third when Madison Upchurch’s kill attempt went long. However, Upchurch won the next point and then North hit a ball long to make it 24-21. Finally, Cartwright put the set away for the Lady Hounds by putting one off a West defender.
The Lady Wildcats still held the momentum,
though, and they opened set three impressively. Cunningham served an ace for a 2-0 West lead, and the visitors kept rolling, winning the first six points of the set. However, Slate declined to call time-out, and his players proved his faith by winning the next three themselves.
West Stokes was up 10-5 when North Surry made its move. Sizemore put one away from the outside hitter position and then Martha Holt served an ace. West held onto a precarious lead until Cartwright took over with North down 12-10. She scored a kill, then a block that led to a point, and then drilled a ball off a Wildcat after North’s defense had bril-liantly dug and then set a smash by Delcamp. The Lady Hounds led 13-12, but then Parker and Fulk took turns loading the proverbial gun for Delcamp and Johnson, respectively. This went on for a while before Holt scored a kill after

6-3, 6-0 at No. 2. At third singles, the Lady Hounds’ Paige Simpson also won three games, but still fell 6-1, 6-2 to Sarah Marion. Central’s Haily Robertson scored a 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 4 against Juliana Cooke, while the Lady Eagles’ Mamie Simpson was a 6-2, 6-1 victor over McKensie Bare at No. 5. The No. 6 singles match was a shutout for Central’s Mattie Grace Snow against Madison Stockman.
“Surry Central is a very good team with very few weaknesses,” said North Surry head coach Mark Parsons. “Our girls battled hard and played hard, but we just didn’t have anything for them today.
“We’re frustrated and we hate losing, but we won’t fold and will keep working hard.”
The No. 3 doubles was the first to wrap up. Smith and Snow scored an 8-0 victory over Cook and Stockman. At second doubles, Marion and Robertson teamed up to defeat Simpson and Bare 8-2.
Surry Central has now beaten all three of its county rivals, Mount Airy, East Surry and North Surry, four times without a defeat. Central also owns victories over the Nos. 3 (East Surry), 4 (Mount Airy) and 7 (East Wilkes) ranked teams in the latest N.C. High School Tennis Association’s 1A rank-ings.
The Lady Eagles are slated to travel to confer-ence rival West Stokes on Tuesday afternoon. North will visit the Lady Bears on Monday.

some apparent miscommunication by West, making the score 19-16. When Sizemore won the next point by North with a block against Parker, Stevens called for time. However, Sizemore beat another Lady Wildcat right out of the break, her team won the next three, and she concluded the match by dunking an overhit on match point.
Johnson had seven kills and Cartwright six. Evann Shelnutt had 21 digs and Holt 10. Fulk had 24 of her team’s 26 assists with Holt earning the other two.
“We’ve got two more tough matches coming up next week with Mount Airy and Surry Central, and we’ll try to recover a bit in practice and try to fine-tune some things,” Slate said.
Both teams are off until Monday. North Surry hosts the Lady Bears, while West Stokes faces another unbeaten team in 4A power Reagan.

At 37, Panthers still believe in PeppersCHARLOTTE (AP)
— The Panthers aren’t exactly sure what they’ll get from 37-year-old defensive end Julius Pep-pers this season.
But teammate Charles Johnson has a pretty good inkling.
“I expect Pep to be Pep,” Johnson said with a smile. “I expect him to be the person he’s always been.”
Peppers is Carolina’s career sack leader despite splitting the past seven seasons between the Bears and Packers. He left Carolina over a highly-publicized contract dispute in 2009.
He hasn’t spoken to
The Associated Press about his decision to return to the Panthers since signing a one-year deal with the team in March. He was nowhere to be found this week in open locker room as the Panthers prepare for their season opener on Sunday against San Francisco.
But taking a low-key approach is nothing new for the quiet Peppers, who has more sacks than any active NFL player.
“With us, he’s just Pep,” Johnson said. “He doesn’t do all the rah-rah. That’s what y’all are look-ing for, but that’s not that guy.”
Johnson, linebacker
Thomas Davis and others politicked for manage-ment to re-sign Peppers following his eight-year hiatus. The North Caro-lina native was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft and spent nine sea-sons with the Panthers.
Now he’s back to finish his career where it began — and possibly earn that Super Bowl ring that has eluded him for 16 seasons.
How much he’ll con-tribute remains a mys-tery.
He’s still productive, getting 25 sacks the past three seasons with Green Bay, including seven last season.
But while Peppers has been an All-Pro three times and has been to nine Pro Bowls, he’s not expected to start. Coach Ron Rivera said Pep-pers will likely see just as many reps as starter Charles Johnson.
“It doesn’t matter who starts,” Rivera said. “At the end of the day it’s who is going to make the plays.”
Davis said Peppers is still capable.
“He’s still a dominant player,” Davis said. “He’s still a guy that’s going to go out and be successful. He’s going to command a lot of attention. If you don’t, then shame on you.”
The 6-foot-7, 295-pound Peppers remains as stout as ever.
And, based on prac-tice, hasn’t lost any of his quickness that has resulted in 143 sacks.
run to close the lead to just one. But the biggest difference between the second and third sets was the Eagles’ ability to keep a level head. Surry Central shut down the Falcons’ momentum and pulled away 25-20.
Central needed to win the next two sets, and played with more aggression in the first few points of the fourth set. Both teams showed improvement and were less reliant on the oppo-sition’s errors and more on winning points with good serving and intense net play. This was until Forbush showcased its’ best net play of the eve-ning. Sarah Hutchens and Crater dominated the front line just as Coe had done in the first set for Central.
Strong net play and a barrage of unforced errors ultimately spelled the end for Surry Cen-tral. Forbush closed out the home team with a 25-12 victory in the fourth set, cementing a 3-1 lead.
Coach Bruce noted
that despite the glimpses of greatness shown by her team, they still needed to avoid getting stuck in a hole and be able to bounce back after tough plays. The Eagles are now 5-5 on the sea-son and 1-1 in conference play. Central will travel to West Forsyth on Satur-day for a tri-match. For-bush improves to 4-6 and will host North Wilkes on September 11.
