Budbreak celebrates wine industry
David Broyles
staf reporter
Just as the budbreak on a grape vine inspires enthusiasm in a winemaker, the fourth festival held in downtown
Mount Airy drew a sizable crowd for the express purpose
of showing off some of the good things about the area.
The festival offered wine tastings and sales from 15
North Carolina wineries, multiple food vendors, local artists and musical entertainment. Proceeds from the event
will benefit charity organizations supported by the Mount
Airy Rotary Club, who partnered with the Downtown
Business Association as event hosts.
“The chilly temperatures were not anticipated,” commented Downtown Business Association President Phil
Marsh. “This has been a good turnout that brings people
together and that’s good for the area and for downtown.
I have seen a lot of people from out of the area here today as well. This is a good event for a lot of friends and
neighbors to get together as well. It helps support our
businesses and that’s what we’re all about.”
Television personality Eric Chilton, a Mount Airy native, served as emcee for the event and echoed Marsh’s
reactions to the festival.

Although the annual Budbreak Wine
Festival drew a large crowd and was
proclaimed a success by some of its
organizers, controversy erupted in connection with a fundraiser at the festival
in downtown Mount Airy.
Vickie Riekehof was called out as the
winner of the raffle for a 2013 limited
edition Fiat Abarth, or that is what she
thought. After arriving to claim the car,

Cutest Kids contest
is up and running
The The Mount Airy
News staff is on the hunt
for some adorable young
faces, and they’re hoping
the reading public — both
in print and online — will
once again help them find
those cuties as they team
up with Scenic Motors, title sponsor of the contest,
to kick off the third annual
online contest designed to
promote your children.
“We are thrilled to be
bringing this contest back
again,” said Mount Airy
News editor John Peters.
“It is one of our most popular online contests and a
real winner with readers,
too. Everyone loves children, and everyone loves to
see all those adorable, smil-

Music wafted through the air.
Laughter and giggles and glee’s of delight matched
the level of the music.
Kids were running, jumping, playing and generally
having a great ole time.
And the rain held off to let everyone — moms,
dads, and the kiddies — enjoy all that the expo had
to offer.
Saturday’s fourth annual Kids Outdoor Healthy
Expo event was so popular, in fact, folks had to
search a bit to find a parking spot.
“We’re holding this event,” said Darren Lewis,
assistant director of the Mount Airy Parks and Recreation department, “just to try to promote healthy
options … We hold it once a year.”
Last year, around 200 visitors attended the event,
and Lewis was hoping for at least that number this
year, he said.
Members of both the Narehood and Tilley families
were some of these visitors Saturday. Along with
Cody the puppy, both families were attending the
Expo for the first time this year. Both moms said it is
a great way to get their kids away from the computer
and video games because of all the fun activities for
kids available. Their first stop was going to be the
fishing venue, with the climbing wall a close second,
the group said.
The Arafat River had been stocked with trout the
night before, Lewis said, ready for all the anglers to
catch their limits. No catch and release Saturday.
And, while at the fishing venue, Keith Cockerham,
vice president of the Stone Mountain Trout Unlimited organization, demonstrated tying flies.
Julian Rawley, 16, didn’t say, but he may have had
some help with selecting the correct fly because he
caught his first fish at Saturday’s expo.
“I’ve fished before, but I never caught anything,”
Rawley confessed. He planned on taking his nicely
sized trout to his grandpa to have him cook it up for
him Saturday evening.
Other families, like grandma Wendie and grandpa
Jimmie Gwynn, brought their grandsons, Micah
Gwynn, 5, to the Expo for the first time this year.
“We were out of town last year,” Wendie Gwynn
said. But whenever Micah was asked about last year’s
event when he and his brother, Alec, 2, attended with
their mom and daddy, Micah could relay every fun
and exciting detail, grandma said. So, she knew if
last year’s event made such an impression on her
grandson, it is one event she wanted to make sure
she didn’t miss.
Riverside Park was filled with a climbing wall,
Freddie the Firetruck, the trout fishing venue, a hula
hoop competition, pedal cars, a free tomato give-away booth, the Mount Airy Fire Department hook
and ladder truck, face-painting, the Chick-fil-A mascot, and more.

Over the past two years
the contest has generated

Police seek to reunite
stolen property with owners
Tom Joyce
staf reporter
By all accounts, Robert
Lee Adkins was a busy
man during the first part of
this year.
Adkins, 32, was arrested by Mount Airy police on April 11, capping
off a string of vehicle and
residential break-ins that
investigators estimate began in early January and
stretched to the day he was
taken into custody.
The crimes were concentrated along the Rockford
Street (U.S. 601) business
corridor, where Adkins
lived in a room at Quality
Inn. He now is in the Surry
County Jail, where Adkins has been held under
a $75,000 secured bond
since being taken into custody after a surveillance
operation triggered by the
crimes on Rockford Street.
He initially was charged
with four counts of felonious breaking and entering,
six counts of felony break-
ing and entering of a motor vehicle, one felonious
larceny charge, six counts
of misdemeanor larceny
and one injury to personal
property offense.
And Kyle James, a city
detective, said last week
Adkins also has been
linked to similar alleged
crimes outside Mount Airy
in Surry County.
Just as the charges have
accumulated against Adkins, so did a large stash
of items he allegedly stole
during the various breakins, a portion of which is
still in police hands. There
are several women’s wallets, jewelry and a Sprint
cell phone to name a few.
“There is a sword, actually, in a sheath,” James
added of another item,
which has “made in India”
inscribed on the blade.
Some of the property
unearthed during a search
of Adkins’ room has been
claimed by its rightful owners through cross-checking

Habitat hosts Woman’s Build Day
David Broyles
staf reporter
Greater Mount Airy Habitat for
Humanity volunteers at the Women
Build Day Saturday would be the
first to tell you warm hearts will
stave off chilly temperatures.
Volunteers were part of an estimated 10,000 women nationwide
who are expected to volunteer at
Habitat construction sites the week
of May 4-12. This is the sixth year
of the effort.
Lowe’s Hardware is the underwriter of Habitat’s Women Build
program and has donated more
than $1.75 million to 300 affiliates
across the United States. This is the
first such build day for the Greater
Mount Airy Habitat for Humanity
group. The purpose of the program
is to educate and inspire women to
build and advocate for simple, decent and affordable houses in their
communities.
This home was constructed as
part of a cooperative effort between Habitat for Humanity, Surry
County Schools, North Surry High
School and Surry Community College, with students from North
Surry and SCC working on the
construction for the home as part
of their building technology classes
at the school. The home was then
transported to the site.
Phillip Clark and his sisters, Ramona and Noreen, needed a new
home because their former house
was more than 100 years old and
had to be demolished after their
Habitat application was accepted.
The Clarks are helping work on
their own home, a process referred
to by Habitat for Humanity as
sweat equity hours. The organization used three criteria to determine who received the home: need,
the ability to pay an affordable
mortgage for 25 to 30 years, and a
commitment to perform sweat equity hours on their own home.

“We cannot thank our

“Without them, contests
like these wouldn’t be possible. We encourage you to
support them and thank
them for being a part of

Hurley said.
“All the property came
out of his (Adkins’) hotel
room and 90 percent got
claimed, and this is the
stuff left over,” James said
of an array remaining —
which is still fairly sizable.
Officers know the property is owned by someone,
but are at a loss to determine who, despite initials
being on the items in some
cases. “We just can’t find it
in our system,” the detective said of corresponding
information.
The valuables now being
stored at police headquarters also include an Armitron watch with a blue face,
a Garmin Nuvi GPS unit
and rings including a classring type containing a blue
stone and the words “police
department,” along with a
silver one bearing the initials “RT” on the front.
“There’s odds and ends
here,” James said, “a lot of
personal items.”
Citizens who had property stolen during a home
or vehicle break-in in the
city or county during the
early January to April
1 time frame, who have
not recovered it, could be
owners of something now
stored, James said.
Interested persons can
contact James at 786-3559
or Brandon Davis, a fellow
detective, at 786-3555.
Those officers can arrange to meet with individuals and confirm ownership, James said.

Editorial
House bill helps ensure
honest local government
Oh Wednesday the North Carolina House of Representatives will consider House Bill 870, which requires governing bodies to record closed meetings, or portions of
meetings that are closed to the public.
Under present law governing bodies, such as a board
of commissioners, can go into a closed session — they
often like to call it an executive session — only to discuss
certain subjects. Among those are specific personnel matters regarding an employee, acquisition of or disposition
of property, pending or likely litigation.
Unfortunately, as we’ve seen several times over recent
years in Surry County, some boards use those exemptions rather loosely, either to keep from public view what
should be open discussions and considerations, or to outright hide questionable activity from the public.
While the Mount Airy News has been able to bring
some of these instances to light, quite frankly it is exceedingly difficult to hold an elected board accountable to the
voters when they can go into closed session, do and say
as they please, and then return to open session without
properly reporting what was discussed in that behindclosed-doors gathering.
Even when illegal or unethical discussions take place, it
often becomes a matter of a number of different versions,
with some board members outright denying any wrongdoing while others give conflicting accounts.
House Bill 870 would change all of that. Without adding work, without adding expense, it would put in place
a way to make an accurate record of everything that goes
on in a closed meeting.
There will still be some protections against public dissemination of what should remain private. If an individual
government employee’s job performance is discussed,
there is nothing in HB 870 that will make that eventually
open to public scrutiny.
However, if a local government sells or purchases a
piece of land, once that transaction is complete the closed
meeting discussions could become part of the public record. If a local government engages in, or is targeted for,
legal action, once the action is complete those closed door
discussions can then become part of the public record.
And a sound or video recording ensures an accurate
record of those meetings is in place.
House Bill 870 is good legislation that takes a step toward ensuring honest, lawful governing by locally elected
bodies, at no additional cost to taxpayers. We hope all
who agree will contact Rep. Sarah Stevens and let her
know they believe she should vote in favor of the bill, and
then we hope she does so.

Contest ofers memories (and bragging rights)
Many years ago, more
years than I’d care to think
about, we lived in a tiny
Virginia community near
the Chesapeake Bay. Every
year, this little town held
a festival, complete with
parade, games, cooking
contests, and a whole host
of old-time, small-town festival events.
Among those was a baby
contest, and you better believe my wife had our oldest — at the time our only
— daughter dressed up in
her Sunday finest for the
event.
Don’t get me wrong,
this wasn’t one of those
pageants where parents
paint their daughter’s face

25-year-old women and,
even worse, try to get
them to walk and act like
grown women. I’ve always

Everybody in North Carolina should have heard that speech
Someone had just heard
Tom Lambeth’s recent remarks to the North Caroliniana Society, which was
presenting him with its
annual award for service to
our state.
Lambeth, longtime former executive director
of the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation, used the occasion to talk about some
of the people and some of
the stories that help define
North Carolina and its history for him.
Lambeth acknowledged
that North Carolina had
sometimes been called
the Rip Van Winkle state
or the “valley of humility
between two mountains of
conceit.” (“Conceit,” Lambert quipped, is not always
so bad if it is “informed
conceit.”)
How did the state rise
from this humble status to
be a progressive leader in
its region?
One of the keys, Lambeth believes, is that its
people are determined to
do things to make the state
a better place, often overcoming great obstacles.
Sometimes, he said, the
state’s people “just don’t
know they can’t, so it turns
out that they can, and do.”

The message from North
Carolinian was Senator
Sam Ervin. As a young
state legislator, he fought a
bill that would have banned
the teaching of evolution
in the public schools, saying the bill would serve
“no good purpose except
to absolve monkeys of
their responsibility for the
human race.”
Why do North Carolinians have a special feeling
for its university? Lambeth
told the story of a man at
a senior citizen center in
Madison County who was
wearing a UNC cap. Somebody asked him, “Did you
go there?”
“No,” he answered, “but
I own it.”
Lambeth told his audience to keep working for
a better North Carolina,
reminding them of that
mountain man who was
determined to keep his
grandfather’s fire alive.
Quoting the late Congressman Roy Taylor,
Lambeth challenged his
audience to keep the fire of
North Carolina’s greatness
burning. Otherwise, “the
Lord may forgive us, but
our children and grandchildren will not.”

Bears qualify 6 for state track championship
Jef Linville
Staf Reporter
MONROE — Six Mount
Airy athletes have advanced to the state 1A
track championship after
top-four showings in the
1A Midwest Regional.
East Surry’s Lamar
Shuff just missed the state
meet with a fifth-place finish in the 100 meters.
The Bears’ Corey Valentine put in the best performance with two top finishes, a tie for another first
place and a third place in
four events.
“Corey had himself an
unbelievable day,” said
track coach Clarence
Cropps. The senior is
such a great athlete that
he could have competed in
more events, but regional
rules limit him to four.
Valentine won two conference titles and finished
second to 2A Brock Reynolds in two other events
two weeks ago.
Against only 1A competition, he won the long
jump and triple jump outright. He tied for the best
in the high jump, but was
judged second. And he was
third in the 400 meters.
Valentine’s performance
in the jumping categories
continues Mount Airy’s
strength after Joktan
Moore’s
performance
last year.
Cropps was quick to deflect credit for his boys.
“It’s the athletes,” he
said. “We point them in the
right direction, and they
get things done.”
Also going on to state
from the boys’ team
was
discus
thrower
Parley Gentry.
At the conference meet,
Gentry blew away the
competition with a record throw of more than
151 feet.
On Saturday, however,
the weather was cool and
windy, noted Cropps.
It was hard for all the
throwers to stay loose
and flexible.
Gentry still cleared an
impressive 135-01, good
for second place.
The winner was South
Stokes’ Zach Singleton,
who couldn’t land a single
throw inbounds at the
conference meet. Single-
ton threw 137-09 feet.
Gentry also competed
in the shot put, finishing
12th.
Cropps noted the effort given by freshman
Cordell France.
“This was the biggest
event he’s been in in his
life,” the coach said. “Next
year he’ll know what
to expect.”
France was eighth in the
100 meters, ninth in the
200 meters and seventh in
the 400 meters.
“He’s worked to get to
this point,” said Cropps.
“You couldn’t ask for anyone to work harder.”
And, he added, Cordell
is just a freshman and is
still growing.
For East Surry, Shuff
finished fourth in the first
round of the 100 meters,
good enough to qualify for
state.
In the final, however, Tyler Casey, Monroe, stepped
up his game and jumped
from fifth to second place.
That knocked Shuff down
to fifth.
On the girls’ side,
long-distance standout
Kirsten Parries finished
third in three events.
A state champion in
both track and cross country, Parries couldn’t keep
up with Malia Ellington,
Community Day, who won
both the 1,600 meters and
3,200 meters.
While Parries was battling with Bishop’s Carly
Kreber for second place,
Ellington finished 23 seconds faster than either in
the 1600.
Then in the 3200, Ellington was nearly a full minute ahead of Parries, which
is more than half a lap on
the quarter-mile oval.
“She’s in a league by
herself,” said an impressed
Cropps. At the state meet,
he said, “We just have to
do the best we can.”
Parries had her other
high finish in the 4x800
meter relay with partners
Davi Barbour, Jai Daniels
and Jordan Jackson, who
all three play tennis for the
Lady Bears.
The Bears cut more
than 25 seconds off their
time in the conference
meet, showing the same

Hound, Eagles advance to state tennis tourney
Jef Linville
Staf Reporter
LEXINGTON — North Surry and Surry Central each have
an entry going into the state
2A tennis tournament next
weekend after making the top
four in regional play.
The Greyhounds’ Austin
Barker and the Eagles’ doubles
duo of Luke Haymore and
Colby Chilton will go into the
state championship as fourth
seeds after losing on Saturday.
As reported in Saturday’s
edition, Barker won twice on
Friday to reach the semifinals
of the singles brackets.
The Eagles finished late and
scores were not available at
the time.
Coach Mark Parsons said
he was proud of his doubles
team for winning twice on Friday. This is the first time in at
least the past six years that a
Golden Eagle has qualified for
state, he noted.
Luke and Colby beat a team
from North Stanley 6-3, 6-0
in the opening round and advanced to face West Stokes’
Sam Elter and Jacob Covington, whom the Eagles beat for
the conference title.
Haymore and Chilton did
even better in the rematch
with a 6-3, 6-1 win.
That put them into Saturday’s match with a strong team

said. The Eagles nearly pulled
out that win.
Luke and Colby won the
first set 6-1, but Cuthbertson
bounced back to take the second set by the same 6-1 score.
In the deciding set, the Eagles pulled to 5-6, but couldn’t
break serve to send the match
to a tiebreaker.
That battle took a lot out
of the duo, but they still had
another match to play for
seeding purposes. The two
semifinal losers faced off for
third place.
A team from Eastern Davidson beat Central 6-3, 6-3.

took about two and a half
hours to complete, then Austin had to come out the next
morning and go against the
overall top seed Garrett Lakey,
Wilkes Central.
Lakey, who won the Mountain Valley singles title, didn’t
lose a single game in the first
two rounds, going 6-0, 6-0
each time, Belton said.
Despite the fatigue, Austin
played well and actually took
two games in the first set before falling 6-2, 6-0.
That dropped Barker into
the third-place match, and if
he was tired at the start of the
day, then he was doubly ex-
Central’s second doubles team
in the first round. Zach Wilmoth and Trent Day fell 6-2, 6-2.
The other Eagle in the tournament was Kirk Needham for
singles.
Kirk had the misfortune of
facing the best player from
Central Davidson, a guy who
finished second in the regional
last year, Parsons pointed out.
Needham did his best but fell
6-0, 6-0.
As for Barker’s singles showing, the senior was feeling the
effects of two long bouts the
day before.
North Coach Drew Belton
said the second match Friday
hausted for this one.
Austin won his first set 6-4
against Brent Moore, West Davidson, said Belton.
Then Moore came back to
take the next two sets 6-3, 6-4.
The other coaches had some
nice compliments for Austin,
the coach said. He played baseball as a kid and didn’t take up
tennis until his freshman year.
And, he hasn’t been able to devote himself to tennis full time
because he was a standout
punter on the football team.
The 2A state championship
will be played Friday at the
Cary Tennis Center.
Injury limits Mount Airy’s Kessler in 1A tennis regional loss
Jef Linville
Staf Reporter
WINSTON-SALEM
—
Mount Airy’s Mitch Kessler
will go to the state 1A tennis
championship as the fourth
seed from the West after losing
on Saturday.
Kessler and Gray Stone
Day’s John Latimer faced off
in a battle of the undefeated
Saturday morning at the Wake
Forest University Indoor Tennis Center.
Kessler (18-0) was slowed
in the conference tournament
last week because of a pulled
abdominal muscle. He played
through that on Friday, but
Saturday made four matches in
two days.
“It became apparent that
Kessler’s injury was being aggravated by the intensity of his
play,” said Coach Rodney Pell.
In the first set, Pell said,
“Each player held serve until
Kessler broke Latimer to go
up 3-2. They held respective
serves until Kessler served out
the set at 6-4.”
After Latimer won his serve
to open the second frame,
Kessler then battled through
the longest, toughest game of
the match.
Twice the Mount Airy junior had a game point and
couldn’t close.
“After four deuces, Kessler
eventually lost serve on a third
break point,” the coach said.
Latimer then served his way
to a win to jump out to a com-
manding 3-0 lead on the way
to a 6-1 set.
If there was problem with
Mitch’s swing or a strategy he
wasn’t utilizing, then corrections could have been made,
according to the coach. But,
the problem was his lingering
injury.
“In another lengthy service
game, Kessler was broken to
go behind 0-1 in the third set,”
said Pell.
After Latimer led 2-0, Kessler won a game, but Latimer
kept the pressure on and eventually won 6-2 to advance to
the final.
“This was only Kessler’s
second career loss in singles,”
he said.
“Having already qualified
for the state championship
round, he defaulted the three/
four seeding match due to injury,” said the coach.
Kessler will play the top
seed from the East in the quarterfinals Friday at the Cary
Tennis Center.
Northwest names 10 locals to all-conference team
Jef Linville
Staf Reporter
DANBURY — Local softball players made up 10 of the spots on the
Northwest All-Conference Team
announced at North Stokes Friday
night.
East Surry had four players on
the all-conference team, while North
Surry and Surry Central had three
each. Central likely would have had
a fourth, but pitcher Elise Austin (a
previous first-teamer) was out with
an injury.
Named to the first team for the
Lady Cardinals were Jessica Barker,
Kristen Cummings, Amber Lawson
and Kelsey Wilson.
For the Lady Hounds, the three
players were Marlee Bunker, Bailey
Culler and Molly Martin.
The Lady Eagles earned spots for
Brittany Myers, Cassidy Joyner and
Jordan Wood.
North Stokes’ Lindsay Brown
pitched a shutout to beat West
Stokes 7-0 for the conference tournament title.
After the game, Brown was named
both NW player of the year and tournament most outstanding player.
Viking Coach Jeff Frye was named
coach of the year.
East Surry and Surry Central both
made the semifinals, so one player
from each team was selected for the
all-tournament team. Joyner got the
nod for Central, while Jesse Barr
earned her first major award for East.
Seven local girls were named to
the honorable mention list.
Mount Airy senior Madison
Thomas received the Bears’ honor.
East’s Emily Cummings and Olivia
Sheets were named. From North, it
was Kacey Beamer and Claire Montgomery. For Central, Meagan Hutson
and Kendra Johnson.
The baseball all-conference team
will be announced at the end of the
final between East Surry and South

From Page A1
“I think this is Mount Airy reinventing itself to some extent,”
said Chilton. “It’s time for the
city to step up as a mid-sized
venue where events can be held
such as this celebration of wine
which is a huge industry in
North Carolina. Mount Airy is
on the fringe of this and can pull
persons from out of the area and
infuse the economy.”
Previous years’ festivities
included a wine competition,
which was not part of this year’s
festival. Bob Meinecke, organizer of the festival and member
of the Mount Airy Rotary Club,
earlier explained that omitting
the competition from this year’s
festival allowed the event to focus on enjoying and celebrating
local wineries.
Meinecke earlier characterized the event is a “real collaborative effort” with the Downtown
Business Association, who also
hosted a sidewalk sale in conjunction with the wine festival so
merchants have the opportunity
to draw participants into their
businesses.
Another important addition to
the festival this year came in the
form of a fundraiser to establish
a scholarship for Surry Commu-
nity College’s viticulture center
spearheaded by Amadour Winery & Vineyard President David
Chaloupka.
Chaloupka is a third generation
vineyard operator and owner of
Amadour Winery and Vineyards,
which will open this fall in the
Dobson area. He worked with
the general manager of Fiat of the
Triad out of Greensboro, Pamela
Shelton, to secure a FIAT 2013
limited edition Abarth car that
was on display at Budbreak. Chaloupka sold $100 raffle tickets for
a chance to win the car.
Chaloupka said he wanted to
support the viticulture program
at Surry Community College because prior to this year, there was
no scholarship program and he
wanted to support the program
and the community. He said the
idea came to him from the Adopta-Vine program, hence the Adopta-Vineyard approach. Viticulture
student Josh Willard was the recipient of the full scholarship for
one semester at the college.
“This was our first year doing
this but it’s important to us to do
something good for the community,” added Chaloupka. “This is a
business where every wine maker
has its own pallet. It is also good
for tourism in North Carolina.
You can take ten different winer-
ies with the same varietal and get
ten different tastes. We are really
trying to make a difference in the
wine industry. It all goes back to
great wine making.”
Platinum-level sponsors for
the event included the title
sponsor 100.9 WIFM as well as
a sponsorship by Dr. Flippin’s
Bed and Breakfast. Gold-level
sponsors are wine glass sponsor
CenturyLink and music sponsor
Interlam. Silver-level sponsorships include food court sponsors SouthData, media sponsor
Mount Airy Visitors Center,
stage sponsor Renfro Corporation, ticket sponsor Surrey Bank

sponsor Insteel Industries.
Bronze-level sponsors included event rental sponsor Cooke

she said David Chaloupka,
owner of Amadour Winery and Vineyards who
oversaw the contest, told
her that she had to toss a
Frisbee into the car’s open
window from a point estimated to be about 90 feet
away.
She claims there was no
such rule for the contest
when she purchased the
$100 raffle ticket.
“It (this rule) wasn’t
posted near the car, there’s
no signs on it, there was
nothing written on the
ticket. I feel it was fraud,”
said Riekehof. “I know the
money went to charity, a
portion of it went to charity and that’s great. But we
should have been told of
this in advance.”
David Chaloupka, who
said his winery will open
this fall in the Dobson
area, worked with the
general manager of Fiat of
the Triad in Greensboro,
Pamela Shelton, to secure
the car that was displayed
at Budbreak as part of the
raffle.
Chaloupka sold the
tickets to win the rare
car for $100 each during
Budbreak. In an earlier interview with The Mount
Airy News, he said the
car would be given away
if enough tickets were sold
to “cover the insurance
policy.”

Riekehof, the person
whose name was drawn,
become upset when informed of the Frisbee
throwing requirement and
protested that she had not
been told this prior to her
ticket being drawn.
Bob Meinecke, organizer of the festival and
member of the Mount Airy
Rotary Club, said it was
his understanding the instructions would be printed on the ticket and on the
literature about the event.
“There was a misunderstanding. We refunded her
money and apologized,”
said Meinecke. “It was a
he said she said thing. My
understanding was that
verbal instructions were
given to each person who
purchased a ticket from the
salesperson.” He said that
person was Chaloupka.
Downtown Business Association President Phil
Marsh said he knew of
people who told him they
had purchased a ticket for
a chance on the car and
received no instructions
about the Frisbee throwing.
“This is so unfortunate.
There should have been a
sign posted explaining all
about it and this procedure,” said Marsh. “This
sort of miscomunication
can hurt events. There
should have been a sign as
well as having this procedure on the tickets. I hate
that this happened. We
don’t want to think this reflects on all of our events.
The DBA had nothing to
do with the ticket sales or
car giveaway.”

As for Riekehof, she
said getting her ticket purchase refunded really isn’t
enough.
“I finally got my hundred dollars back. …I had
to kick, scream and holler,
the police were there,” she
said. “I finally got my money back but this isn’t done.
If I wasn’t afraid of going
to jail, I would have gone
up on stage. This is fraud. I
think the other people who
bought tickets should get a
refund.”
She also implied that
legal action is not out of
question. “I called my attorney, but this being Saturday, he’s not in.” She
said she would be contacting him this week.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
May 6, 2013:
This year you open up to new
concepts. Know that you can’t fight
city hall, but you can let go of rigidity
and choose to look at other ideas. If
you are single, you are likely to attract
someone quite unusual yet dynamic.
Regardless of whether this bond is
long-term, you will gain from the contact you have with this person. If you
are attached, the two of you could
benefit from taking an exciting trip that
you have been discussing for a long
time. ARIES tests your patience.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH The unexpected happens,
and it adds excitement to your week.
You might want to try to gain more
control. You also might want to learn
to trust your own abilities instead of
resisting change. Remain secure, and
know where you are headed. Tonight:
Accept what is.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HH Much that is happening around
you is vague. You could feel as if
someone is whispering in your ear.
How you deal with a situation could
change dramatically if you can get the
hard facts. Pull back and listen more.
Try to figure out what is really happening. Tonight: Not to be found.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH You have pushed hard to
accomplish a lot. It is clear that you
can’t take a shortcut and still achieve
the same outcome. A partnership
often tests your commitment. You
might want to come to terms with
the fact that interaction is part of the
bond. Tonight: Dinner for two.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You say the right words
and charge your inner circle with
ideas. Your perception could be off,
in that you might see things only from
your point of view. A discussion could
become overwhelming. You find that
a child or loved one could be sassy.
Tonight: Kick back.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH You might want to rethink
how you react to unexpected events.
You’ll be reminded that you have no
control over anything but yourself.
Situations like these center you, and
they also allow you to see life from
a different perspective. Tonight: Let
your imagination roam.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Ad goes here
HOROSCOPE
HHHH Look at what is happening
behind the scenes with a key associate. This person might choose not to
reveal much at first. Be patient with
him or her, and your understanding
will grow. The two of you will become
closer as a result. Tonight: Opt for
togetherness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Defer to others, and watch
what happens as a result. You might
seem incapable of clearing up a personal matter. Consider rethinking a
choice you made if you feel pushed
by a family member. Support yourself
more often in what feels right to you.
Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You could feel out of sorts
and unable to get a firm grasp on a
situation that is impacting your daily
life. What you can be sure of is that
you are not getting the big picture.
Lighten up when dealing with a controlling person. Tonight: Get some
extra R and R.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Your fiery side emerges
with a change of plans. You know
what you want, but you also might
want to let go of a need to be completely in control. You can control your
own actions, but you can’t control the
stock market and other random factors. Tonight: Choose with passion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You could be surprised at
what you have to deal with. Did you
think you were on cruise control?
You certainly find out otherwise. Your
ability to move mountains might need
to come through. Stay centered.
Tonight: Happily head home — you
need a break.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Though you’re likely to hit
a bump or two along the way, you will
skip right over them and continue on
your present path. There might be a
persistent, annoying thought in the
back of your mind. Do check out its
validity, so that you can let go of it.
Tonight: Fun and games.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You might want to figure
out what is necessary for you to make
a change. Understand that you are
dealing with others and their wishes,
as well as your finances. Learn to say
“no” when a request is not possible
for you to meet. Start today. Tonight:
Re-evaluate your spending.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy showed last month why it remains
the envy of industrialized nations: In the
face of tax increases and federal spending cuts, employers added a solid 165,000
jobs in April — and far more in February
and March than anyone thought.
The hiring in April drove down the unemployment rate to a four-year low of 7.5
percent and sent a reassuring sign that the
U.S. job market is improving.
The economy is benefiting from a resurgent housing market, rising consumer
confidence and the Federal Reserve’s
stimulus actions, which have helped lower
borrowing costs and lift the stock market.
The stock market soared after the Labor Department issued the April jobs
report Friday. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed up 142 points, or nearly
1 percent, to a record a record 14,973. It
briefly broke 15,000 for the first time.

Professor: Understanding history through culture is key
David Broyles
Staf Reporter
DOBSON — Surry Community College Social Science Division Chairman Dr. Cory Stewart
prefers an examination of history
from the bottom up, or through
the prism of grass roots common
experience. He makes the case
history may repeat itself but not
for the same reasons.
“History repeats itself but it’s
like an echo instead of repeating,” said Stewart. “Part of the
answer lies in psychology, religion and folklore. History allows
you to play with all those things
and bridge it together.”
Stewart said he started with
the college as an adjunct professor in 2006 shortly after earning
his doctorate at The University
of Carolina Greensboro.
“I started as a substitute for
an instructor and was living in
Greensboro,” recalled Stewart.
He said in the fall of 2008 he was
hired full time on the faculty after another instructor retired. In
January he was named to the social sciences chair. He is quick to
answer any supposition history
is best approached by knowing
dates and time lines.
“That is the most common
thing I hear when people tell
me why they are not interested
in history,” said Stewart. “I love
history but I can’t remember
dates. After all, dates are numbers and numbers are math and
that’s in a separate building.”
The scholar insists truly understanding why something has
happened in history is best approached by knowing what most
people in that society at that
time liked or disliked. He readily
admits one of the biggest things
to advance history in the public
mind is movies.
“Unfortunately from the standpoint of accuracy movies can be
used as a starting point for discussion or as a good adaptation
of a novel but they are seldom
accurate historically,” said Stewart, who attributes his interest in
history to his father, Clyde. He
said everything from bedtime
stories to moral lessons involved
historic persons or people his father admired.
Stewart characterized himself
as “a particularly bad student”
early on in his career. He said his
interest in teaching history was
sparked by eighth grade teacher
J.D. Willard, who taught a class
on North Carolina history.
“He (Willard) brought the past
to the present,” said Stewart.
“There was a specific point to
it.” He also credits North Surry
teachers including Tim Creed
with getting him interested in
other things in high school, other than getting out of class. He
admits to this day he can spot
similar stagnation in students
and he is frustrated they are doing what he did in high school.
Another watershed moment
for the educator came on an assignment where teacher Lawanda Badgett required him to go
and watch a teacher. He went to
Surry Community and watch the
late Conrad Holcomb interact
with his class.
“In just a few minutes of
watching him I knew this was
what I wanted to do,” commented Stewart. “I loved to learn and
how he delivered the curriculum

Surry Community College History Instructor Dr. Cory Stewart’s approach to history examined through the popular culture of the time seems a natural direction
since he also chairs the school’s social science division. Stewart enjoys drawing from the expertise of a variety of disciplines to guide student inquiry.
“History repeats itself but it’s like an echo
instead of repeating. Part of the answer lies
in psychology, religion and folklore. History
allows you to play with all those things and
bridge it together.”
— Dr. Cory Stewart
SCC social science division chairman
by actually questioning students
was awesome.” Stewart said his
one of the first classes he signed
up for at SCC brought him into
contact with the late English instructor Chris Yopp.
“He (Yopp) changed my world
view. This was not just neat it
was what I wanted to do,” remembered Stewart. “Then I
started liking school. By the time
I had my undergraduate and
masters I couldn’t study enough.
I liked learning but I just didn’t
know what I wanted to do. My
lack of focus drew me to history
where I could play with it all at a
different level.”
Now Stewart finds himself in
the midst of professors of a variety of disciplines under one roof
at the college.
“It’s a neat environment to be
in. There are experts in a variety
of different fields,” said Stewart. “There’s not a lot of jobs I
can think of where you can do
that. In big schools the only others you can consult are other
historians. Where is the fun in
that?” He said he tries to get his
students to use their interest as

The library is selling raffle tickets on a
patchwork quilt as a fundraiser to buy e-
a way to understand history as
well and gear their projects accordingly. One method he feels
strongly about is to not interpret
history by using figureheads.
“If I asked many people who
the Speaker of the House many
wouldn’t know,” said Stewart.
“More people know of Lady Ga
Ga than John Boehner. That’s a
major part of what happens historically. As a cultural historian
I’m looking more from the bottom up. It’s a culture that builds
the ideas and students are a part
of this culture.”
He also chafes a bit at the suggestion that so much in culture
and history is viewed as set. He
likes the opportunity to tell his
students what they study is all
up to them and the challenge of
getting them to actually use their
minds. He said some thrive and
some panic and agreed that being obsessive with something for
just a while is the key to being
successful at it.
“From the first moment I
walked into a classroom I admitted to my students I didn’t know

Dear Where: A certain
amount of anger and bitterness is not an unusual
reaction to a child’s difficult divorce. But it is unlikely that your brother’s
marital problems changed
your mother’s personality. Either there was an
underlying problem, or
the stress provoked an
overreaction that she has
been unable to control.

her to see her doctor for
a complete checkup. Offer

Dear Annie: I disagree
with your advice to “Some

hostess asking that a dish

more popular in these economic times.
I live in an affluent
neighborhood, and we all
can afford to cater parties if we so choose, but
we have potluck parties
all the time. It fosters a

Dear Toluca: We have
no objection to potluck

invitations to your own

that responding guests
bring a dish of the hostess’s choosing is not a
“potluck party.” It’s taking
advantage of your guests.

what I was doing,” said Stewart. “I saw it as we’re doing
this together. The first group I had was wonderful. They
just took me in. To this day I still get jitters every time
before I walk into class on that first day. I love how everything changes every four months.”
Stewart says he has always felt he has a rapport with
groups that makes teaching easy. He says content, making
assignments and grading them is what is the hard part.
He admits he still feels apprehensive at times knowing
he will probably not cover everything he plans to because
students are learning a process as well as information. He
also finds himself changing courses as new things happen.
“Western civilization changed after 9/11. I had to educate
myself about what culturally affected the terrorists because
my students wanted to know,” said Stewart. “That class
now has more of what contributed to 9/11 and less about
the Cold War. I think of what my students need to know and
change. Recently I have been including more about Korea.”
He said he feels students are burdened with information and being able to process it is something they need
to learn. Stewart feels history is a great avenue for this
type of learning.
“Often there is not one set side to these things,” commented Stewart. “You can come up with different interpretations looking at the same facts. I feel this approach
causes enthusiasm because they feel this is why they need
to know things.”
The area that is near and dear to Stewart’s heart and
the repository of much of his enthusiasm is Revolutionary War History with a focus on this period in Western
North Carolina. Much of this, no doubt, fell into place for
Stewart as he served as a living history re-enactor at the
Hickory Ridge Living History Museum. The first question to his mind was why would the supposedly disconnected backwoods people participate in the Revolutionary War. Hadn’t they moved to the frontier to drop out
from society?
Work on his master’s thesis yielded his answer. The
backwoods was not as disconnected as it was portrayed
and their participation was not hitched solely to the ideology of freedom. Their participation was not shaped by the
opinions of the elite.
Much of their interest stemmed from the British enforcing
boundaries where they would have lost their land and a local
government so dysfunctional land transactions couldn’t be
transported and recorded reliably. They were fighting for the
land they worked. The land that was their life as well as the
idea of no taxation without representation.
“My goal is to always show people in the past as though
they live in modern times,” said Stewart.”They are part
of this now as well because they set the stage for where
we are. Understanding the background can lead to understanding its conclusion. It is not how it’s always been. It is
the way we created it and we can change it. That’s empowering. Education is the cure to any society’s ills. No society
I know of has ever said we have too much education.”
He said he feels the road to economic recovery is
through the community college system and understanding is power and that students seeing themselves as active participants and not just passive players makes all
the difference.
