DOBSON — The Surry County Board of Commission- ers received some positive information last night about water and sewer projects under way in the county. The commissioners allowed J.T. Henson with Blue Ridge Ag and Turf to speak briefly near the end of the meeting. Henson came to express his appreciation to the board for running water to his business on N.C. 89 through the new Interstates Water and Sewer District. “I really want to thank the commissioners for water,” Henson said. His business was the first to hook on to the system and the first to receive water. The water started running on Fri- day afternoon. Henson said he’s been waiting on the county to get public water to the area for more than 20 years. He believes access to the water system will encourage the expansion of businesses in the area. “It’s been a long time,” said Henson. “I’m glad I lived to see it.” He also told the commissioners that the area needs public sewer services as well. Earlier in the meeting, Commis- sioner Craig Hunter asked Jack Gardin, water and sewer projects manager, how long it would be before a sewer project for the Interstates Water and Sewer District got started.

walls so that instructors can see inside the loft from around the media center and keep an eye on students. “We want them to be excited about reading and about books,” said Bode. “I’ll probably use it as a reward for students. It helps with the atmosphere we’re trying to create.” The loft’s theme will revolve around the story of “Chic- ka Chicka Boom Boom,” a children’s book that uses rhymes to teach the letters of the alphabet. Bode is in the process of painting a large tree which will extend up through the loft and will have the letters on its branches. “The kids are really excited about it,” said Bode. “With the new schools opening, this gives them something new to have and to be excited about as well. It’s better than I would’ve hoped.” When High, an alumnus of Dobson Elementary, first started the project, he knew very little about construction. He took a drafting class during his sophomore year but noted actually working on a project was different than what he experienced in class. “I’ve pretty much learned how to do everything,” he said. “I took drafting last year, but there’s a big difference between drawing and actually putting it together. I like doing stuff like that. It’s a nice challenge to have to do something and put it together.” High and White built most of the structure off-site and arrived at the school last week to begin setting it up and taking care of the finishing touches.
