Enjoy! -Wendy Kennon With Deepest Sympathies With utmost sorrow, we regret to announce the passing of our co-worker and friend William Keith Withrow, 54, on Thursday, May 6, 2021, at Duke Medical Center in Durham. What can I say about Keith? Keith was probably the most tender-hearted person that I have ever met. He would not hurt a fly and I mean that literally. I witnessed him relo- cate a spider outside instead of killing it on more than one occasion. He was a devoted husband and father who loved spending time with his family. He would help anyone in need and I don’t think that Keith ever met a stranger. He could also aggravate the day- lights out of you as nothing pleased him more than a good prank, except maybe sneak- ing up on someone and giving them a scare. It was a pleasure to work with Keith and I find myself lucky to have known him. He was truly a special person and we are all go- ing to miss him dearly. -Crystal Carpenter and the Maintenance Department Staff 2 L to R: Dustin Grant, Planning and Zoning; Beth Winze, Social Services; James Gibson, Sheriff’s Of- fice; John Carter Jr., Sheriff’s Office L to R: Brooke Allred, Katherine Danz, Alicia Hutton.

We are excited to be able to bring this much needed service to Ran- dolph County in an effort to assist with the opioid crisis. In recent years there have been growing trends with concerns related to drug use within the community, as well as overdoses. Substance use during adoles- cence is a predictor of substance use disorders in adulthood. Already this year Randolph County has responded to 125 overdoses and responded to 576 overdos- es last year. With our new substance abuse program, we will be able to offer free services to Randolph County juveniles that will not only consist of a 10-week substance use educational program, but also sub- stance abuse assessments, one on one counseling, group counseling, and family counseling. We are excit- ed to be able to continue offering free transportation to participants while attending our programs. We have a licensed clinician at our facility who is able to diagnose and provide treatment as well as educate those in need. We will be having guest speakers come to talk to participants about drug use, peer pres- sure, and enhancing resiliency skills. We are excited about expanding our services to address the Ran- dolph County’s Strategic Plan issue of enhancing prevention programs. We accept referrals from Juvenile Justice, Social Services, schools, School Resource Officers, law enforcement, doctors, and parent/ guardians. -Pam Resch 6 Register of Deeds SANDY NEWLIN and SHELLEY JOYCE attended the NCARD Virtual Workshop on May 4th, 2021.

    Systemwide Plan for North Carolina State Parks 2009 N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Systemwide Plan for North Carolina State Parks 2009 Division of Parks and Recreation Department of Environment and Natural Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The years from 2000 through 2008 were a period of unprecedented growth for the North Carolina State Parks System. In 2000, the NC General Assembly established a goal of protecting one million acres of open space lands. Funding was provided through several state trust funds, as well as special indebtedness, and the state parks system underwent an historic, carefully planned expansion. • Land acquisition added 46,340 acres to the system, and 15 new units, including state parks, state natural areas, and state trails, were authorized by the General Assembly. Land acquisition funding from fiscal year 1999-2000 through fiscal year 2007-2008 totaled $276.1 million. • Two nationally known landmarks were added to the state parks system. Chimney Rock was added to Hickory Nut Gorge State Park in 2007, and the park’s name was changed to Chimney Rock. The undeveloped portions of Grandfather Mountain became a state park in 2009. • From fiscal year 1999-2000 through fiscal year 2007-2008, $139.3 million was made available to the state parks system for construction of new facilities and for repairs and improvements to existing facilities. • Major advances have been made in interpretation and education, natural resource stewardship, planning, trails, and all other programmatic areas. Field staff positions increased from 314 in 1999 to 428 in 2008 to manage new lands and operate new park facilities.
