Jaynes Announces Retirement from CCC&TI,
Receives Governor’s Long Leaf Pine Award
After 40 years as an educator, Beverly Jaynes, who currently serves as Department Chair for
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s College and Career Readiness Division (formerly known as Basic Skills), has announced her retirement.
At her recent retirement celebration, Jaynes was also presented with the Governor’s Longleaf Pine
Award. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of the most prestigious awards presented by the
Governor of North Carolina, is awarded to individuals who have a proven record of extraordinary
service to the state. Contributions to their communities, extra effort in their careers, and many
years of service to their organizations are some of the guidelines by which recipients are selected
for this award.
Jaynes began her career as a public school teacher in 1974 after earning her Bachelor’s degree at
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1983, CCC&TI hired Jaynes to teach Basic Skills
courses in local furniture factories as a part-time instructor. Four years later, Jaynes was appointed
to lead a partnership between Broyhill Industries and CCC&TI’s Basic Skills department to help
improve reading levels among factory employees. “The effort endured for more than 10 years and
saw hundreds of students improve their reading skills and obtain a secondary credential,” said
Jaynes.
In 1998, the college’s Basic Skills Division was expanded. “Thanks to the vision of [College President] Dr. Ken Boham, this seminal event provided a structure for the department that resulted in
a staff with great longevity at the institution,” said Jaynes. “Over time, we grew a department that
has been recognized across the state for excellence, innovation and integrity.”
Jaynes was named Department Chair of Basic Skills in 2004 and has served in that capacity for the
last 10 years.
In her 30 years at the college, Jaynes has seen a number of changes in how students are reached
and how needs are met, citing several innovative programs over the years including the college’s
Family Resource Center, Compass Program and Dual Enrollment or Pathways Programs. In addition, the department and its employees have received a number of accolades with Jaynes at the
helm. “My goal when I assumed the position of Department Chair was to make sure that there was
no one in the state who did not know and respect the Basic Skills programs at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute. I wanted this program to be the best there is and for Caldwell
to be one of the top ‘go-to’ programs for how a high quality program operates,” said Jaynes.
Many would say that Jaynes achieved that goal as evidenced by the fact that since 2004, the
department has been recognized as “The Outstanding Basic Skills Program” for the state twice, it
has produced two Students of the Year, two Staff of the Year, two Toyota National Family Literacy
Teachers of the Year, and a number of students who have presented keynote speeches at national
conferences. In addition, CCC&TI’s College and Career Readiness staff members are in demand
as trainers and presenters in national, state and regional venues and many curricula developed at
CCC&TI are in use nationally.
Asking what she would miss most about CCC&TI was like opening a flood gate holding back three
decades of stories and experiences with colorful characters, dedicated educators and successful
students. Stories included a student who came to class in a ninja costume; a graduation speaker
who had found her way to class after writing the contact number for CCC&TI in the dust on her
car’s dashboard; field trips with students; special parties for students earning their U.S. citizenship;
fundraising efforts for students in need; and, of course, annual graduation ceremonies celebrating
the accomplishments of the thousands of students who have earned a credential through College
and Career Readiness courses at CCC&TI. “It has been one of my life’s great pleasures to serve
the students at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute. From the moment I walked
into my first class, I knew this was the ‘fit’ of a lifetime, and from that time I have never felt like an
employee, I have felt like a partner in the effort to create opportunities for students to reach their
full potential.”
In her retirement, Jaynes hopes to travel, garden and be creative, while spending time at her
homes in Lenoir and Virginia. Jaynes also serves on several local boards and will continue her civic
and volunteer work in the community. “I plan on doing whatever strikes my fancy,” she said. “And
not looking back.”
CCC&TI congratulates Beverly Jaynes on her upcoming retirement.

CCC&TI Students Study Abroad in England and Ireland
A group of 18 students and employees from Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute recently travelled to
England and Ireland for a study abroad tour.
The group flew from Charlotte to London’s Heathrow Airport and started the experience with a tour of Oxford University.
Over the next five days, the group visited numerous attractions including the Tower of London, the Winston Churchill
War Museum, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the National Gallery and the London Eye. The group also enjoyed a boat ride on the Thames River to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Many took an afternoon trip to visit
Canterbury Cathedral.
CCC&TI History Instructor Kathy
Cloer, who led the trip along with
Religion and Philosophy Instructor
Frankie Kelly, said that the London
experience included many firsts for
the student travelers. Cloer said that
students enjoyed all of the attractions in the area but “most travelers agreed that one of the most
enjoyable evenings of the trip was
dinner at an upscale restaurant in
the Piccadilly Circus area, followed
by a theater performance of ‘Phantom of the Opera’ at Her Majesty’s
Theatre.”
The following days were spent in
Ireland where Kelly said travelers
were treated to a completely different type of experience. “The next
four days in Ireland were a contrast
to London in that the experience was
more about countryside and people
rather than city sights,” said Kelly.
“After arriving in the city of Dublin
where we first visited the National
Museum of Ireland, visits were
made to ancient sites including the
passage tombs of Knowth that predate the pyramids of Egypt by 500
years.” Students hiked the Aran
Islands where a local archaeologist
talked about the islands’ history and
significance. Students also visited Galway, Kylemore Abbey and
enjoyed a guided tour of the poet
Yeats’ country in Sligo and learned
about the Irish Potato Famine from
a local historian.
Pictured from left to right at the passage tombs of Knowth in Ireland are:

Alex Bruenger at Abbey Road in London, recreating the
classic cover of the Beatles album, Abbey Road.
Overall, students who were taking
the trip as part of the Humanities
180 course, said this was a great learning experience. “I can honestly say I had the best time of my life in these short 10
days away from the United States,” said student Katherine West. “This trip has shown me what life is about. Whether it
be traveling to a different country or stepping outside my comfort zone and meeting new people and trying new things,
there is more to living than just waking up every morning and going to school, coming home and watching television...I
3
believe that I am a new person because of this. What everyone said was right; studying abroad certainly has changed
my outlook on everything!”
Cloer and Kelly agree that this type of study experience can be invaluable to students. “Certainly international travel
gives a student a perspective on the world that nothing else can. Travelers, particularly first-time international travelers, begin as students of CCC&TI and become students of the world,” said Cloer. “They experience the richness and
beauty of another culture that ultimately contributes to the added appreciation and understanding of one’s own cultural
heritage.”
CCC&TI Offers New Industrial Maintenance Technology Program
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Corporate and Continuing Education Department is offering a new
Industrial Maintenance Technology Program on the Caldwell Campus in Hudson.
This program will prepare students for entry-level employment in the industrial maintenance field. Areas of training covered
will be safety, blueprint and schematic reading, mechanical systems, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC), electrical systems including programmable logic controller or (PLC) systems and motor controls, and hydraulics
and pneumatics.
The program will also include 40 hours of HRD training at the beginning of the program that will allow participants to obtain their Career Readiness Certificate. Participants will have the opportunity to obtain their forklift licenses, 10-hour OSHA
card in General Industry and a Universal Refrigerant card approved by the EPA.
According to Jeff Holman, Vocational and Technical Director at CCC&TI, job opportunities are currently available in the
area for those with these types of qualifications. “There is currently a shortage of individuals to fill Industrial Maintenance
Technician positions,” said Holman. “Specialized knowledge is required to fill the positions and companies often have a
difficult time replacing an aging workforce.” Holman says that this program was developed using input from local employers and will provide students with specific skills needed to fill local job opportunities.
The Career Pathways module of the class begins Sept. 8. Class will be held from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. with a break from 5 to
6 p.m. Students must earn at least a Silver level Career Readiness Certificate to continue in the program. Cost for the
course is $362.
For more information or to register, call Jeff Holman at 828-726-2242 or email jholman@cccti.edu.
CCC&TI Offers New Healthcare Technology Program
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Corporate and Continuing Education Department is now offering
a new Healthcare Technology Program that integrates a series of skills training courses into a single course for health
care occupations and gives graduates multiple skills and prepares them to earn three health care industry-specific
credentials.
The course prepares students to sit for exams in Nurse Aide I, Phlebotomy and Medication Aide. Classes begin Sept.
30 and are held Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a break from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. and on Fridays
from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Cost for the program is $181.
Debbie Smith, Coordinator of Health Services at CCC&TI, says that local employers are excited about the program and
having more qualified candidates. The feedback she’s received from local health care agencies has been very positive.
“I’ve heard from several local employers who believe that this program will be an effective and beneficial program for
the industry and that it will lead to higher earnings for our graduates,” said Smith. “No matter the economy, health care
is and always has been in high demand. It is important to remember that the health care jobs of tomorrow belong to
those who prepare themselves today.”

J.E. Broyhill Civic Center Welcomes
Bluegrass Legend Ralph Stanley
Legendary bluegrass artist Dr. Ralph Stanley will grace the stage of Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s J.E. Broyhill Civic Center on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m.
When legends come to mind there is one star that shines above them all, the legendary icon Dr. Ralph Stanley. With a
career spanning six decades and countless awards, Stanley has sealed his place in music history as one of the most
influential artists of all time. Despite announcing his retirement last year, Stanley is still going strong and will once again
grace the Civic Center stage with his unique and haunting talent for bluegrass and mountain music. In Dr. Stanley’s own
words, “God has had his hand on my career for the past 68 years. It’s up to him when I will quit. I have no plans of slowing down. I love my fans, and I love performing.”
Born in 1927 in Big Spraddle Va., Ralph Stanley was the second child of Lucy Jane and Lee Stanley. In 1946 along with
his older brother Carter Stanley, they formed the legendary Stanley Brothers duo. The Stanley Brothers and the Clinch
Mountain Boys became one of the most popular brother acts in Country Music history. The Stanley Brothers traveled together for 20 years recording some of the most mournful mountain songs to date. Their catalog of songs includes “Angel
Band”, “Rank Strangers,” “Little Maggie” and the famed “Man of Constant Sorrow.”
Tragedy struck the Stanley Brothers on Dec. 1st 1966 with the untimely passing of 41-year-old Carter Stanley. Disheartened and discouraged with his brother’s death, Ralph Stanley pressed on by faith in God and support of his family,
friends and fans.
Some of Country and Bluegrass music’s biggest stars
came from Stanley’s band,
including Ricky Skaggs, Larry
Sparks and the late Keith Whitley. In 1976, Stanley received
an honorary doctorate of
music from Lincoln Memorial
University in Harrogate, Tenn.
In 1984 Dr. Ralph Stanley was
the Recipient of the “National
Heritage Award” given by
President Ronald Reagan. In
1992, Stanley was inducted
into the “International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor.” In
2000, he was inducted into the
Grand Ole Opry.
In 2002, Stanley received
his first ever Grammy Award
for Best Male Country Vocal
Performance of the haunting
rendition of “Oh Death” that
was featured in the movie and soundtrack of “O Brother Where Art Thou.” In 2006, he received the Living Legend award
from the Library of Congress and National Medal of Arts given by President George W. Bush.
With awards and accolades too numerous to list, Ralph Stanley has sealed his place as a legend in his own time. Don’t
miss Dr. Ralph Stanley at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center on Saturday, Sept. 20. Tickets for the show are $24 plus tax.
CCC&TI student tickets are $12 plus tax with a valid student identification card. For more information, or for tickets, call
the Civic Center Box Office at 828-726-2407 or visit www.broyhillcenter.com.
