Bridge tournament benefits Shepherd's Center SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE ? For nine years, Salemtowne Retirement Community has held a Bridge Tournament to benefit local non profits that serve older adults. In those years, the event has raised more than $24,000. The Shepherd's Center was the beneficiary of the event for 2012 and received a record-setting contribution of $4,330 on Oct. 31. An enthusiastic crowd of more than 100 avid bridge players participated in this year's tournament. Salemtowne provided a wonderful meal for the par ticipants, which allowed all of the dona tions to benefit the mission of the Shepherd's Center. During his remarks, Shepherd's Center Executive Director Sam Matthews indicated that this generous gift would be used immediately to assist with supportive transportation and minor home repairs for older adults served by the agency. Salemtowne, a nonprofit, is an ecu menical community that reflects the Moravian values of individual respect, hospitality, life-long learning, and love of the arts. The Gibson Elementary School team.

Fun fitness program challenges local boys CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT On Nov. 10, five Winston Salem/Forsyth County elementary schools participated in The Big Event, the culmination of Xcel 2 Fitness, a six week after-school fitness program for boys in grades three through five. ' Student teams from Old Town, Piney Grove, Cash, Gibson and North Hills, the host school, took part in challenges that included running in a zigzag pat tern between orange cones, slipping under - or climbing over - ropes strung to form a three-dimensional grid, step ping smartly through a series of plastic rings placed on the ground and crawling under netting staked close to the ground. The Big Event had a festive atmos phere with lots of parents, siblings and other family members around to support the athletes and a performance by the Panther P.E.A.R.L.S. (Peers Establishing Attitudes Reflecting Lifelong Success), a pep squad made up of North Hills fourth- and fifth-grade girls. Parent Janard Jackson videotaped much of the action, while encouraging his son, an Old Town student. "I think this is great for the kids - a good way to build camaraderie,". Jackson said about the program, which was established by Stephen Vaughn, an elementary-school physical-education teacher in Union County. One of the program's goals is to pro vide an outlet for boys who might not participate in organized sports. "I signed up for it to keep in shape while I'm not playing baseball or bas ketball." said Dylan Modahl, a fifth grader at Gibson. McCray McGee, a fourth-grader at Piney Grove, had similar goals. "To help my speed and agility for baseball and football," he replied when asked why he signed on. There is a similar program for girls called "Girls on the Run," said Nancy Sutton, the school system's program manager for physical education and health. About 20 boys participated at each school. At North Hills, the school's business partners TW Garner Food Co. and IL Long Construction Co. and indi vidual donors picked up the costs of the program. Business partners and individ uals helped out at the other schools as well. For more information about the pro gram, go to wwwjccel2fitness.com.
