A Surry County facility for troubled youths which was threatened with closure due to state budget tightening has escaped cuts and will keep operating. “We’re extremely pleased that we will be able to con- tinue to serve the youth of North Carolina,” Karen Bon- signori of Eckerd Youth Alternatives Inc. said Tuesday of wilderness camps Eckerd operates at Lowgap and other locations in North Carolina. Earlier this year, Gov. Bev Perdue had proposed a statewide slashing of $7.6 million, and 155 beds, for camps serving troubled teens as part of an effort to reduce spending on “social” programs. It was feared that this could lead to the closure of Camp E- Mun-Talee at Lowgap, which opened in 1979 and now serves about 60 boys while employing some 45 staff members. However, when the smoke settled from final budget ac- tions in Raleigh during the recent short session of the N.C. General Assembly, wilderness camp funding had been left intact.

MONDEE TILLEY STAFF REPORTER

It’s summertime and one way to beat the heat is to keep the kitchen cool and the grill hot. Jeff Gilley, sales manag- er at H&H Auto Sales in Mount Airy, is a grilling master. He likes to fire up the grill every chance he gets. He prefers to use a gas grill, but can cook up a feast on a charcoal grill any day of the week. Gilley’s motto is “Grill slow and sip fast.” He always keeps the grill on low or medium while grilling and always uses the top rack rather than the grill. Whether it’s steaks, burgers and hot dogs, ribs or chicken wings, Gilley has his tips and techniques that can give even a beginning griller the skills to impress. Gilley is a huge Virginia Tech fan and loves to tail- gate before football games in the fall where the Fa- mous Hokie Wings are in high demand. In the summertime, he heats things up by grilling MONDEE TILLEY/THE NEWS and floating at Lake Nor- Jeff Gilley keeps vigil over the gas grill at his Mount Airy home. man or just chilling out by the grill in Mount Airy. top rack of the grill.

Tharrington Primary School students in Mrs. Dawson’s and Mrs. Hiatt’s first-grade class did a fun experiment. Each student was allowed to take a turn to crack an Scenic Ford Lincoln Mercury egg on each other’s heads. The eggs were soft-shell store-bought eggs, with confetti inside. Multi-colored Hwy. 601 Mt.
