Local scout troop pleased with progress in 2000 j
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
The Scout* Motto is to do a
" Do A Good Turn Daily." Hav
ing the experience of helping
someone during the holiday sea
son or anytime is a very special
feeling. The Scouts in Troop 805
experienced this feat during this
?season of giving. They were able
to put together several dinners
and colleet money, to buy items
a family might need. Doing these
things will have a positive effect
on these young men
The Scouts satd giving was
something everyhody should
experience, along with volun
teering your time, because the
more you give, the more bless
ings you will have. This was done
from their heart and the only pay
was the great feeling they
received moving.
God said that "when you give
to the least, you give to me."
These young men are grateful
for the opportunity to serve. The
Scouts who took part in this pro
ject were: Jonathan Penn. Jaftfes
Tatum. William Peay, Antwain
Peay. Kenston Sullivan. Blake
Jones, Walter Farabee Jr..
Andrew Mitchell and Kenneth
Sullivan Jr. All were able to con
tribute their time and money.
This Scout troop is spon
sored by Grace Presbyterian
Church and Wentz Memorial
Church on Carver School Road.
The Scouts are planning to do
more volunteer service to the
community. For more informa
tion about Scout Troop 805. call

A year in review
Boy Scout Troop 805 has
come a long way, They have
moved up "in their ranks, from
new Scouts to their 2nd Class
ranks. We now have nine boys in
scouting. We are doing a com
bined charter with Wentz
Memorial Church. Dr. Harvey
Allen is the scoutmaster, assisted
by William Penn.
The troop has been on two
camping trips. One was here at
the church and the other was
held in North Wilkesboro at the
William Kerr Scott Dam and
Reservoir State Park. This camp
ing trip was the first real camp
ing experience for most of the
Struts. There were many activi
ties, including codling, hiking,
fishing and other activities that
proved to be fun for all. We had
some parents to camp too.
The Scouts participated in
the annual Scouting for the Hun
gry program. This program col
lects nonperishable items and
canned goods, which are donat
ed to the Food Bank of North
west North Carolina. We collect
ed about 200 pounds of food.
This year one of our Scouts
Brendan Thompson, now a
freshman at N.C. State Universi
ty - received an award for his
volunteering in this community.
This award came from President
Bill Clinton.
The Chronicle newspaper has
printed articles about the troop.
The Scouts will soon earn,
merit badges in computer tech
nology, taught by John Moore.
William Peay, principal of Philo
Middle School, allowed us to use
the computer lab at his school in
training to use the computers.
We are planning to add a Cub
Scout pack to our unit soon. A.
Stanley Mitchell will be the cub
master.
We are looking forward to
having another successful year in
scouting. We are very grateful
for the support we have gotten
from the parents and others who
helped us be successful in this
scouting venture. The Winston
Lake Y has allowed us to swim.
Thanks to the staff at the Win
ston Lake Y for their support.

m
Easley
from pane A1
low-wealth community where we
have large populations present
and living in substandard condi
tions compared to the more
wealthy, affluent, bustling cities
throughout the state."
As a result, Easley said he is
enforcing a more bipartisan
leadership.
"Leaders from both sides of
the aisle will have to work
together to confront these
issues." he said. "1 plan to work
closely with Democrats. Repub
licans and Independents to
accomplish my agenda and con
front the many challenges before
us."
Swimpson added that the
new administration will fre
quently seek advice from private
and non-profit sectors like the
Institute for Minority Economic
Development. Easley.also wants
to pass a Prescription Drugs Bill
of Rights that will make pre
scription drugs affordable to res
idents, a problem prevalent
among African Americans, and
particularly the elderly.
"The need that you have to
make sure when you are address
ing issues of health care is that
we are also thinking about not
just the research but providing
medication for patients as well,"
Swimpson said. "There are cer
tain illnesses that we know are
more prevalent in our communi
ty like sickle cell and hyperten
sion, and we want to make sure
that medication and prescription
drugs are available and afford
able."
Swimpson said people will
probably be most impressed with
Easley's style of decision-mak
ing.
"He will listen to many voices
before he makes a decision," she
said. "He doesn't arbitrarily
come up with what you believe is
the right answer but he will lis
ten. That why (diverse) voices
are so important. He will get the
input and then he will consult.
"Oftentimes, it may appear
that he is slow to make decisions
but it is because he is seeking
input. It may be perceived as
downside but I think it is a good
thing."
