Looking back on those we lost in 2019

Lillie Brewer

Her tombstone reads, “Love is a verb” and the life she lived demonstrated it.

Lillie Dean Bryan Brewer passed peacefully into heaven on March 7, 2019. She had been residing at her home surrounded by those who loved her, and whom she taught to love.

She good-naturedly endured the nickname “Dinky” due to her diminutive size, but her impact on the lives of those around her was anything but small.

She was a lifelong learner, attending Berea College and earning a nursing degree from Rex Hospital and an Education Specialist degree from Appalachian State University. She was a devotee of The Great Courses, enjoying them on her iPad for years.

She was an Emergency Room registered nurse at Rex Hospital and was credited by many young residents for helping them learn their way around emergency medicine. She worked energetically right up until the day she delivered her son, the “miracle baby” she was not supposed to have been able to have due to her thyroid cancer. Soon after her son was born in 1958, the place where she worked became her treatment center. She survived cancer that time and lived another 60 years. Some people credited her boundless energy with the thyroid medication that she had to take every day for the rest of her life. However, her family knew that her vim and vigor pre-existed her illness.

She was a reading and English teacher at Boomer Ferguson Elementary and Woodward Junior High Schools whose students fondly remember her kindness, patience, and ability to increase their reading proficiency in a positive and encouraging environment.

For more than 15 years, she was a legal assistant who advocated tirelessly for the rights of Social Security disability and workers’ compensation clients, as well as medical malpractice, product liability and personal injury cases, at her family’s fourth-generation law firm. When her declining health forced her to leave that position, she did so only after diligently and enthusiastically passing along knowledge of the job to her grandson who replaced her. For more than 50 years, she taught children’s Bible classes at Wilkesboro church of Christ. As a lifelong and devoted student of the Bible, she participated in Bible Study Fellowship for several years.

She served in both the Wilkesboro Women’s Club and the Delta Kappa Gamma honorary society for women educators for many years, parking cars at MerleFest much longer than her rich age should have allowed. When not parking cars, Lillie could be found in either the Traditional Tent watching Wayne Henderson and the Kruger Brothers, or at the Main Stage listening and dancing to the joyful exuberant music of Scythian (her favorite Irish/Gypsy music band).

Mrs. Brewer thought hard work was important, but she thought recreation was just as important. She was the driving force behind what is now known as Cub Creek Park in Wilkesboro, NC. It was important to her that Wilkesboro have a park for everyone to walk, have picnics, play ball and play tennis with their family. She served on the Parks & Recreation Board for 52 years and recently was awarded the key to the Town of Wilkesboro. Once when she presented a program on literacy to the Kiwanis club and read aloud the children’s book, I’ll Love You Forever, grown men dissolved in tears. It was a favorite recollection of her husband and one that never failed to make him chuckle.

Together, Joe and Lillie Brewer regularly took in people like some folks collect stamps: the more varied the backgrounds, histories, and nationalities, the better. The collection of extended family that they kept in their own home (many for years at a time) included a 102-year-old grandmother, a high school senior, a newly released felon, several young cousins, and two international exchange students including a Colombian who remained for six years. Her table was always set for family, friends and strangers, and if you could not come to her home to share a meal, she would bring it to yours. She and Joe also paid or cancelled innumerable debts of others, paid school tuition for extended family and friends, and gave rent free housing to numerous families.

Lillie’s wisdom and good advice were cherished by her family. She was always planning ahead and thinking of the next project. In fact, never wanting to be a burden on her family, she planned and paid for her own funeral in 1994.

She took good care of those around her. She was the impetus for building the house next door to hers where her mother, her father, and her father-in-law spent their last years in comfort, surrounded by family members and compassionate caregivers.

Her circle of caring spread far and wide, extending even to those she did not know personally. When a 2014 newspaper article announced the felony arrests of five young Asians for stealing twelve ears of corn from a field beside Highway 268 West, Lillie lifted her pen in action. She wrote a passionate letter to the editor of the paper, asking if the young people had been referred to local help agencies, asking if they had been informed of North Carolina’s laws, and recounting a time from her childhood when her own father had allowed others to take food from his garden. It was not unusual for Lillie to call for compassion, forgiveness and charity as opposed to persecution. She was a member of the Friends of the Library board who initiated the annual Chocolate Extravaganza. On February 11, 2015, when her husband passed away in her arms at his law office, a grieving but determined Lillie stayed up all night at her home cooking chocolate creations for the library event the next day. One of her last acts was directing her daughter to create chocolate-covered Bugles for the Extravaganza a few short weeks ago. In truth, no one person will ever know all of the good that she did in her lifetime.

Lillie was preceded in homegoing by the love of her life, Joe Oliver Brewer; her parents, T.R. Bryan, Sr., and Nell Plyler Bryan, and her brothers, Dr. T. R. Bryan, Jr. and Jackson Bryan.

Cherishing her memory and inspired to try to follow her example are her son, Gregory J. Brewer (Lisa) of North Wilkesboro, NC; daughter, Tonya Brewer Osborne (Joey) of Hickory, NC; grandchildren, Joseph Zachary “Zack” Brewer, David Bryan Brewer, Tanner Paige Clifton, Karsen Elizabeth Osborne and Sadie Olivia Osborne; sisters, Rhoda Jean Billings (Don) of Lewisville, NC, Suzie Bryan Wiles (David) of Wilkesboro, NC, and brother, John Q. Bryan (Janet) of Wilmington, NC, as well as a delightful clan of nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews. The family wishes to thank Lillie’s skilled, compassionate caregivers: Nena Shepherd, Donna Poole, Emily Poole, Diane Greer, and Polly Nichols.

Per Mrs. Brewer’s wishes, a public memorial service was held on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at the Wilkesboro Church of Christ located at 1740 Curtis Bridge Road, Wilkesboro, N.C.

Bill Casey

Mr. William “Bill” Eller Casey age 91 of North Wilkesboro, passed away Monday, September 09, 2019 at his home.

Memorial services were held 11 a.m., Thursday, September 12, 2019 at First United Methodist Church North Wilkesboro with Dr. Tim Roberts officiating. The family received friends immediately following the service in the Faith Center.

Bill was born August 30, 1928 in Wilkes County to Andrew Harrison Casey and Vera Eller Casey. He graduated Wake Forest College in 1950 and was an Army combat veteran having served in Korea. He was a Life Insurance Agent. Mr. Casey was a member of First United Methodist Church of North Wilkesboro. He was active in civic and church affairs, Casey served as president of the Winston-Salem Certified Life Underwriter Chapter, president of the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis Club, and held various positions at North Wilkesboro First United Methodist Church, including cook for the Methodist Men for over fifty years. Casey served as Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 335 for many years and was awarded the Silver Beaver for distinguished service to boyhood by the Old Hickory Council of the Boy Scouts of America in January 1975. Casey, an avid fisherman, enjoyed the outdoors and was a charter member of the OF Hiking Club.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters; Lucille Wilson and Mary Ann Sigmon.

Honorary Pallbearers will be his Former Boy Scouts from Troop 335.

J.C. Faw

Well known Wilkes businessman J.C. Faw died Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019.

Mr. Faw began his entrepreneurial career in the early 1950’s when he acquired his first grocery store in North Wilkesboro. Between the early 1950’s and 1983, his principal efforts were directed toward the development and operations of Lowe’s Food Stores, Inc. When Lowe’s food Stores was sold to Merchant’s Distributors, Inc. in 1983, it had grown to a chain of 75 grocery stores, 25 convenience stores and 12 restaurants doing an annual sales volume of approximately $250 million. Part of Lowe’s Foods’ growth resulted from Mr. Faw developing the real estate and constructing strip shopping centers in certain market areas located in North Carolina and southern Virginia, for a number of the stores in which Lowe’s operated.

In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Mr. Faw and a business partner built and operated a chain of 11 very successful Hardees franchise restaurants. These restaurants were sold back to Hardees when Mr. Faw and his business partner started the Bojangle’s Restaurant chain. Although he sold his interest in the original Bojangle’s company in the 1980’s, he still owned three Bojangle’s franchises. Other franchise food service operations he owned include Arby’s, Subway and Taco Bell. All of these units are located in the Foothills and Piedmont section of North Carolina.

After the sale of Lowe’s Food Stores, Inc., Mr. Faw formed Fast Track, Inc., a chain of convenience stores located in the Piedmont and Foothills sections of North Carolina. Fast Track currently operates 13 convenience stores and primarily markets Shell petroleum products. In addition to conventional convenience store operations, Fast Tracks also operates co-branded franchise operations with several well known food fanchisers. The real estate for most of the Fast Track stores was developed and owned by Mr. Faw.

In 1984, Mr. Faw started a motel operation which was later incorporated as Addison Properties, Inc., jointly owned by Mr. Faw and his son, James Clayton Faw. Over the years several franchised hotel properties were acquired and later sold.

Although Mr. Faw had been involved in new and used automobile operations on a small scale throughout his career, in the late 1980’s he and another individual acquired the dealership for Cadillac, Oldsmobile and other General Motors products located in Elkin. That dealership was operated profitably until it was sold in 1991. Mr. Faw and his partner then acquired the dealership in Wilkes County, that had the franchises for Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, GM Trucks, Dodge and Nissan. In 1992, Mr. Faw acquired his partner’s interest in that dealership with his son under the corporate name of Premier Chevrolet Buick, Inc. Mr. Faw also owned Auto USA, Inc., the Wilkes County dealer for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.

Mr. Faw’s real estate development endeavors began primarily with strip shopping centers and Lowe’s Food Stores being the anchor tenant, and these activities expanded over the years to include the construction of a number of other commercial and residential properties. These properties include shopping centers, warehouses, restaurants, motels, hotels, residential subdivisions, office buildings, convenience stores and automobile dealerships. This development has been accomplished both through the use of general contractors as well as through the use of sub-contractors with Mr. Faw serving as his own general contractor.

In March 2017, Mr. Faw was selected Citizen of the Year by the Rotary Club of North Wilkesboro.

During his introduction of Faw, club member Joe McMillan said, “When you step back and look at all of Mr. Faw’s accomplishments over the past 60-plus years of doing business here in our great county, it is only fair to say that this man truly, truly is a legend.”

Barry Bush, who has worked for Faw for more than 25 years, spoke of the effect Faw had on his family, long before he ever went to work for him. He recounted a story of his grandfather, Henry Bauguss, who was a printer and sign painter, who for many years painted the window banners for many of Faw’s Lowe’s Food stores. Bush said that his grandfather was always appreciative of that work and his treatment by Faw personally, saying that, the sign work he did for Lowe’s helped him buy a home and educate both his daughters.

Bush went on to detail stories of his longtime relationship in real estate with Faw, stories sprinkled with humor as well as an obviously sincere affection.

According to Bush, some of Faw’s businesses, in addition to grocery stores, Faw had built and operated a wide variety of homegrown and franchised enterprises, including: Pantry Pride, Run-Ins, FastTrack, Hardee’s, Bojangle’s, Shoney’s, Tipton’s, Holiday Inn, Addison Motor Inn, College Park Cinema, Taco Bell, McAlister’s Deli, Drug World, AutoRack, Rather’s Famous Chicken and Biscuits, Movie Max, the Empire auto dealerships, as well as real estate ventures in West Wood Hills, Shannon Park, Ravenwood, Meadowview, Ridgecrest, Fox Run, The Greens, and The Oaks- One, Two and Three.

McMillan said that the variety of businesses Faw has run and his ability to “multitask” made him unique.

He added that he first met Faw when he went to work for a dairy in Wilkes 57 years ago. He was needing a place to live and was told to call Faw.

“I made that call and Faw had just what I needed,” McMillan said.

He said Faw was also community minded.

“As Mr. Faw grew his businesses he did a lot of good things for other communities as well as his own, especially when he took his commercial development enterprises into other cities and states,” McMillan said.

He went on to add that one of the best things Faw has done for Wilkes County is the development along U.S. 421 in Wilkesboro. “Some call it the Miracle Mile,” McMillan said. “All those businesses, just think about what they do for Wilkes County. There are literally hundreds of jobs in all those businesses combined.”

McMillan continued, “To see the gold mine. To see what could take place with some proper development, this man had the expertise to make it happen, and he made it happen. What a success story.”

Joining Faw the evening he received the Rotary Club award was his wife, Judy, son, Jim, and wife, Sandy, daughter, Diane, her husband, Monty Shaw, and two ladies who help Faw: Kenya Bailey and Keeya Gibbs.

After receiving his plaque from Rotarian Charles Bentley, Faw spoke briefly, thanking the club for the honor and reflecting on his more than 60 years in business.

Charles Avery Gilliam

Memories may be sent to the Gilliam Family, PO Box 306, Ronda, NC 28670 or email [email protected]

Junior Johnson

The last American Hero is gone.

NASCAR legend Robert Glenn “Junior” Johnson died Friday, Dec. 20, under hospice care in Charlotte. He was 88.

Junior Johnson, who was born in raised in Ronda, cut his teeth driving fast cars filled with illicit moonshine through the back roads of western North Carolina. He entered racing at an early age.

Mike Staley of Wilkes, the son of Enoch Staley — a charter member of NASCAR and former owner of the North Wilkesboro Speedway — said his father saw potential in the young moonshine runner.

“Junior and Dad were good friends and went way back,” Staley said. “When he (Johnson) was about 16, my dad picked him up. Junior was working in a field, plowing behind a mule. My dad told him they needed a driver for a race. Junior went with him to the track, got in the car and took off.”

Staley added that his father and Johnson remained good friends up until the time of Enoch Staley’s death in 1995

Racing was in Johnson’s blood. His first NASCAR race was in 1953 where he ran in the Southern 500 at Darlington, S.C. His first checkered flag came in 1955 at Hickory Motor Speedway. Appropriately enough, his final victory came at the North Wilkesboro Speedway during the 1965 Wilkes 400.

He ran 313 races over his 14-year driving career, taking a total of 50 wins, 148 top 10 finishes and 46 poles. His last race was in 1966 in the American 500 at Rockingham.

His achievements in the sport of racing include:

Winner of the 1960 Daytona 500;

Six-time Winston Cup Series Owner’s Championship with Cale Yarborough (1976, 1977 and 1978) and Dale Waltrip (1981, 1982 and 1985);

Named one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998;

International Motorsports Hall of Fame Inductee in 1990;

Motorsports Hall of Fame of America Inductee in 1991;

NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductee in 2010.

About their father’s passing, Junior Johnson’s children wrote:

“Friday afternoon, Junior Johnson passed away peacefully with those he loved nearby. To the world, he was the ‘Last American Hero,’ but to us he was simply Dad. Our time with him barely overlapped with his racing career, but he gave us the last, and greatest, laps of his life. No amount of time, no matter how long, could have ever been enough to spend together. He never missed a night of telling us 'I love you’ before bedtime, or how proud he was that we were becoming the people he’d raised us to be. He was a courageous man, a generous friend, a loving and dedicated husband, and the best father anyone could’ve asked for. He lives on through us, the many lives he touched, and in the sport to which he gave so much. We would like to thank everyone who has reached out or shared a kind story about our Dad, and we are deeply grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support. It has been a comfort to us all during this difficult time. We love you. Dad, Sissy and Robert.”

NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director Winston Kelley said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Junior Johnson on behalf of the Johnson family. First and foremost, everyone at the NASCAR Hall of Fame offers our most sincere condolences to Lisa, Robert, Meredith and the entire family. We have lost one of NASCAR’s true pioneers, innovators, competitors and an incredible mechanical and business mind. And personally, I have lost one of my dearest friends. While we will miss Junior mightily, his legacy and memory will forever be remembered, preserved, celebrated and cherished at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and in the hearts and minds of race fans around the world. Please join us in remembering and celebrating Robert Glenn Johnson Jr.”

NASCAR CEO and Chairman, Jim France stated: “Junior Johnson truly was the ‘Last American Hero.’ From his early days running moonshine through the end of his life, Junior wholly embodied the NASCAR spirit. He was an inaugural NASCAR Hall of Famer, a nod to an extraordinary career as both a driver and team owner. Between his on-track accomplishments and his introduction of Winston to the sport, few have contributed to the success of NASCAR as Junior has. The entire NASCAR family is saddened by the loss of a true giant of our sport, and we offer our deepest condolences to Junior’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

Mike Staley, as did his father, considered Junior Johnson to be a friend.

“I was invited several times to eat breakfast with him. I enjoyed the time I spent with him. It was great. It was a lot of fun.”

And Johnson never forgot his roots.

Staley said, “He was loyal to Wilkes County and the people who got him where he was.”

Julius A. Rousseau Jr.

The Honorable Julius A. Rousseau Jr., 88, retired senior resident Superior Court judge for the 23rd Judicial District (Wilkes, Ashe, Alleghany and Yadkin counties), died Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019, at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at noon Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019, at First United Methodist Church of North Wilkesboro, with Dr. Tim Roberts and Dr. William T. Medlin, III officiating . The Rousseau family will receive friends following the service in the Faith Center.

Born in North Wilkesboro on Dec. 3 1930, Judge Rousseau was the son of the Honorable Julius A. and Gertrude Hall Rousseau. Julius A. Rousseau Sr. was an N.C. Superior Court judge from 1935-1958. Combined, the father and son served as N.C. Superior Court judges for more than 50 years.

The younger Judge Rousseau was also an emergency Superior Court judge, a part-time position appointed by the governor, from 1999-2015. He first became a judge when named to fill the unexpired term of Resident Senior Superior Court Judge Robert M. Gambill in 1972. He was subsequently elected to eight-year terms in 1974, 1982, and 1990. He had the longest tenure of any Superior Court judge in the state when he retired in late 1998.

He and the former Gary Maxwell were married in August 1955, and they had one son, Julius A. Rousseau III, an attorney in New York City, who is married to Sharon Campbell Rousseau. The couple lived in Wilkesboro until they moved to Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community in Winston-Salem a few years ago.

Judge Rousseau is survived by his wife, son and daughter-in-law, adopted grandchildren; Daniel, Jay and Stephanie Shinaman, Neal and Jackson Smith and special friends; Dr. and Mrs. Brad Shinaman and Mr. and Mrs. Brian Smith.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three sisters, Nelle Rousseau Bailey, Frances Rousseau Alspaugh and Nancy Rousseau Kern.

Judge Rousseau graduated from North Wilkesboro High School in 1949, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where he played football as a walk-on) with an undergraduate degree in 1953 and from the UNC School of Law in 1956.

He had a solo law practice in North Wilkesboro from 1956-1962, and was a partner in Moore & Rousseau in Wilkesboro from 1963 until 1972, when he became a Superior Court judge. Judge Rousseau was chairman of the Wilkes County Democratic Party Executive Committee from 1961-1968.

Judge Rousseau was a lifelong member of the First United Methodist Church of North Wilkesboro, where he served on the church’s board of trustees and was a member of the Men’s Bible Class. He also was a member of the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis Club and North Wilkesboro’s Elks Lodge.

He served for about 20 years with other trial judges on the state’s Pattern Jury Instruction Committee, a volunteer body that creates annual supplements to judges’ instructions to juries, based on changes in statutory and case law. He also was president of the N.C. Conference of Superior Court Judges.

He was a member of the committee that designed the current Wilkes County Courthouse in Wilkesboro, which opened the same year he retired as a senior resident Superior Court judge.

N.C. Supreme Court Justice Sarah Parker presented Judge Rousseau the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of top awards given by the governor, in 2012.

In a newspaper interview in late 1998, Judge Rousseau said he simply wanted to be remembered as fair. He continued, “I’ve tried to be the best judge I know how….to do what is right regardless of who or what a person was. I made some people mad in the process, but I have been able to put my head down and go to sleep each night.”

Dr. Shaw and his wife, Elizabeth, and son, Conal, moved to North Wilkesboro in August 1948 to teach business subjects at North Wilkesboro High School. After four years in that position, Dr. Shaw became principal of North Wilkesboro Elementary School (grades one through eight) in 1952 as North Wilkesboro and Wilkesboro High Schools merged into Wilkes Central High School. He served as principal for 14 years.

When Wilkes Community College opened its doors for multi-classes on July 1, 1966 in the Wilkesboro Primary School Building, college President Dr. Howard Thompson invited him to join him in the position of Business Officer for the college. The responsibilities consisted of accounting and budgeting of finances, and plant and grounds management. The new college facilities, consisting of three buildings, were completed in April 1970. Dr. Shaw oversaw growth of the college. It went from zero to eight buildings, 2,200 students, and 90 acres of land.

In 1972, Dr. Shaw and four other Community College Business Officers and the State Community Director of Finance were the founding officers of the Association of Community College Business Officers, ACCBO. The ACCBO meetings throughout the state enabled the officers to learn more as the new North Carolina Community College System progressed. Dr. Shaw served as president of ACCBO in 1974-75.

Dr. Shaw’s educational career spanned 47 years, all of which were in Wilkes County. He earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts from Appalachian State University, and a Doctor of Education from Nova University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

He loved the church and loved serving the Lord.

The North Wilkesboro Lions Club was Dr. Shaw’s civic love, having almost 100 percent attendance since 1952. He served in a number of positions including the office of president in 1973-74 and 2000-2001. He was named the Rotary Club’s Citizen of the Year in March of 2019. His hobbies included collecting antique radios, and he and Mrs. Shaw were members in the western square dance club, the Tory Oak Twirlers for 31 years. He enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and to many other countries with friends since his retirement from the college in 1995.

The family received friends from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2019, at Reins Sturdivant Funeral Home.

Hurricane Florence: Tree Maintenance & Storm Safety

As Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Irma showed us all too well, a powerful tropical storm is one of the most destructive forces of nature one can experience.The combination of high winds and heavy rainfall in a short amount of time can lead to problems when it comes to your trees, whether those problems take the form of damaged trees or damage to your home or property from trees that fall to the fury of a storm.

Let’s explore how you can to protect your house from falling trees and ways to nurse your storm-damaged trees back to health.

Wilmington, NC. September 28, 2018. Hurricane Florence Damage to B’nai Israel in the historic overlay district.

How To Protect Your House From Falling Trees

As the wind begins to pick up speed, you can never be sure exactly what damage it will leave in its wake. This means you must take every step you can to prevent or limit any damage the storm may bring. Some of the most effective preparations you can make are things you should be doing year-round.

Unhealthy trees are usually the first to fall during a storm. This means you should do a thorough job of regular maintenance of the trees on your property. Things like the regular pruning of dead or damaged limbs, a regular schedule of mulching and fertilizing, and even the removal of trees that are too damaged to survive can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache when a storm hits your area.

Another step you can take is to remove branches to strengthen the whole tree’s ability to survive the storm. If you choose to do this, prune branches at the ends of long limbs. By leaving the interior branches intact, you will strengthen the chance of the tree to make it through in one piece.

The National Storm Damage Center estimates that over $1 million in property damage is caused by falling trees and broken branches each year. Although there is no “hurricane-proof” solution for your yard, there are things you can do right now to minimize your risk.

Before storm season begins, please, pay attention to your trees and landscaping. Some of the things to look out for include:

STORM CHECKLIST

dead or dying trees trees with dense canopies trees with weak limbs newly planted or young trees trees with split trunks trees with lightning or pest damages

If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have a professional tree service come out and inspect your property immediately. We’ll take the time to trim excess branches, thin dense trees and remove any landscaping that may be at risk of damaging your home or those nearby.

Storm Resistant Trees

Another thing to consider if you live in an area that may experience storms is the type of trees you plant. Bald cypress, beech, crape myrtle, live oak and many types of palm trees are more naturally wind resistant than other breeds. Having these types of trees on your property will help alleviate the amount of damage you must deal with once a storm has passed.

Crape Mirtle

Just remember, while some types of trees are more naturally resistant to the effects of strong winds, no trees are fully impervious to damage from a storm of significant power.

Live Oak

What To Do If Damage Happens

No matter how well you prepare, there are no guarantees that you’ll avoid hurricane damage. This means that you may have some hard decisions to make in the wake of a storm. While it’s obvious to most people what to do in the event they have flood or wind damage to their homes or other structures, many times their trees aren’t considered until later. This can be a mistake.

First, a damaged tree can turn into a more severe problem, depending on the type of damage the tree has sustained. Some types of damage are more obvious to the untrained eye than others; again, it’s simple to realize that a broken branch dangling over your garage needs to be pruned before it falls and causes even more damage, but damaged branches aren’t the only type of problems you can experience.

Cut timber begins to pile up along Market Street in Wilmington North Carolina following hurricane Florence.

In the wake of a storm, you can find trees leaning without being completely uprooted; these could fall in the future and should be checked by a professional. Also, some tree damage caused by storms can remain hidden for months; for example, if the roots of the tree are damaged by flooding or trauma, your tree could be dying while still looking healthy.

First Aid For Storm-Damaged Trees

Once the storm is over and the time for cleanup has come, there is one thing you will have to learn: patience. Storm recovery is a long, labor-intensive process, and in the immediate aftermath of a storm like Hurricane Florence or Hurricane Irma, there will be many things that you must take care of before saving trees can become a priority.

Once that time has come, though, the type of first aid your storm-damaged trees need will depend on what kind of trees they are and the type of damage each has suffered.

You may have the urge to prune many of the limbs on a damaged tree in an effort to make sure you get all the damaged limbs down. Don’t do this – removing too many limbs at once may deal a death-blow to the tree! If someone tells you that your tree needs most or all of its limbs pruned to help prevent damage, get a second opinion, as this will do little to prevent future damage.

After this type of procedure, one of two things will happen: either the tree will survive and the limbs will grow back, leaving the same problem as before, or the tree won’t survive such a massive pruning. If the tree dies, you’ll have an even bigger problem on your hands.

A Word of Caution

Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who prey on victims of powerful storms. They will descend on a storm-damaged area with offers to clear away debris, remove or prune trees, or even repair damage, many times at a very reasonable price.

Scammers will either do a sub-par job or simply take your money and vanish. Even though dealing with storm cleanup is a stressful task that you’ll want to complete as quickly and affordably as possible, make sure you’re dealing with a reputable person or company when getting the help you need after a storm.

How to Survive Medical Residency

Regardless of your field of choice, your first year of medical residency will likely outdo year one of medical school in terms of difficulty—both mentally and physically.

We spoke with three doctors who have recently gone through it and come out the other side:

Shannon Lowell, University of California, Davis class of 2016. Started her general surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University in 2016.

Tarak Shah, American University of Antigua College of Medicine class of 2014. In his third year of internal medicine residency at the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC.

Chitra Akileswaran, Harvard Medical School class of 2011. Completed her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco in 2015. Dr. Akileswaran is currently a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, and co-founder of LUCY, an app for new parents to access support services as they return to work. She also has an MBA from Harvard Business School.

These current doctors (and former residents) share their advice for keeping your sanity, your bank account, and your relationships intact as you complete your internship.

Sleep … Whenever You Can

If you’re the type of person that needs eight hours of sleep to function, make sure to take this into account when choosing a specialty.

Dr. Shah, an internal medicine resident, slept six to eight hours per night in his first year—and said he can function on a minimum of six hours when on call.

Ob/Gyn residents, on the other hand, are “notorious for working long stretches of nights and being on call during weekends,” according to Dr. Akileswaran.

She recalled working at least one 24 to 30-hour shift per week and sleeping only five to six hours per night on the remaining days of the week. Some of her rotations required even more of her waking hours, leaving just four hours for sleep.

Dr. Lowell, who is entering her second year of general surgery residency, estimates that she sleeps between five and six hours per night, which is dependent on the rotation, but she rarely sleeps more than six hours.

“I don’t think you’ll find a surgery resident who would ever say there is a level of sleep at which we can’t do our job,” Dr. Lowell said. Whether it’s an operation or admitting a patient, “you just do it.”

Both Dr. Akileswaran and Dr. Lowell swear by naps, even if it’s after your shift and before your drive home. They both pointed out that the amount of sleep you get really depends on the rotation—lighter rotations are a good time to catch up on sleep before the next tough stretch.

In terms of the sleep you do get, Dr. Akileswaran advocated for a consistent routine (and might even sacrifice a small amount of sleep in order to maintain that routine). Whether it’s a meal, shower, reading a book, or all of the above, if you need some time to yourself at the end of the day, getting into a routine can help your quality of sleep. On that note, she recommended also abiding by good sleep hygiene—keeping your room dark or using an eye mask, and finding a quiet place to sleep, or using a noise machine or ear plugs.

There Is No One Financial Solution

While doctors may eventually be among the highest earners, it takes a long time to get there, so it’s important to manage your finances carefully during your first few post-med school years.

Dr. Lowell credits the loan counseling program provided by her medical school for helping her devise a student loan payoff strategy. She chose an income-based repayment plan, which means she’s making smaller, manageable payments each month, but that’s not doing much for her principal balance for now.

However, she said she plans to take advantage of loan forgiveness that kicks in once you’ve worked 10 years for a non-profit (her training itself lasts about eight years). Recent or upcoming grads who aren’t provided with great loan counseling might seek out (and even pay) an expert source (for example Doctors Without Quarters) who can help them come up with a strategy, she said.

Dr. Shah took a frugal approach as a resident in order to continue making healthy student loan payments; he suggested buying a used car (if you even need a car in the first place), saving money by eating at home, and getting together with friends at their houses instead of at restaurants or bars. His advice regarding loans is to pay them off as soon as possible and to maximize 401(k) and Roth IRA investments once your loan is paid off.

Dr. Tarak Shah is in his third year of internal medicine residency at the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC.

Dr. Akileswaran had an alternative approach to student loan repayment, suggesting that residents pursue deferment or even forbearance so as to avoid having to make any payments during residency.

She suggested that future high earnings (even for those in primary care) and low-interest rates on student debt meant that it made more sense for residents to make sure other bills were paid off—and they are not taking on more debt.

She encouraged keeping things simple with digital tools. Residents “will never be able to get to a bank during business hours,” she said. Online banking, a cash back or rewards credit card, and automation (such as direct deposit to your checking or savings and bill pay) can all help make your life easier.

In addition, she also recommended seeking the help of a financial planner to get profession-specific disability insurance and to advise on ways to “de-risk your finances” once you finish residency.

“Keep in mind that our training as physicians is essentially deferring earnings for seven to 15 years, while our friends were paying into their 401(k)s,” Dr. Akileswaran said. “We have to be disciplined to catch up.”

Maintaining Your Relationships

In the hospital, “you will not make it out the door at the end of the day” without the help of everyone around you, according to Dr. Lowell.

She stressed the importance of getting the nurses on your side by “taking their concerns seriously, explaining your thinking to them when you disagree … and thanking them when they go out of their way to help.”

Dr. Shannon Lowell graduated from University of California, Davis and started her general surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University in 2016.

Also, case managers are another important resource (and important people to befriend), because without them wanting to help you, patients may sit in the hospital for days.

Pharmacists can also “save your butt” with urgent questions, medication reconciliation, and discharge instructions. Senior residents, she says, are who you’ll learn the most from. Dr. Shah also said senior resident were invaluable in his first year.

Both Dr. Lowell and Dr. Akileswaran said befriending fellow residents was important.

“[They] look out for [you], help each other get out of the hospital,” said Dr. Lowell, “and make sure people feel supported.”

Dr. Akileswaran encouraged residents to go to every class gathering (happy hours, brunch, or other organized activities), trade battle scars via a WhatsApp group (or start one!), and play an active part in forming the culture of your program.

It can also be incredibly valuable to have a mentor, particularly for networking opportunities. Dr. Shah said his mentor’s letter of recommendation played a huge role in landing his fellowship.

Dr. Lowell said she had the help of a doctor who is very well-respected in the surgery world. Now that she’s started her residency, she meets with a mentor every six months (as part of her program).

Managing the Rest of Your Life

Outsourcing errands and housework is a common strategy amongst residents. Dr. Akileswaran recommended spending $100-$200 per month for help with cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, and other home-related tasks—despite the extra expense.

Dr. Lowell swore by Amazon and autopay bills and pointed out that having a significant other to help with housework was a huge benefit, though not a luxury every resident will have.

Taking care of yourself, both mentally and physically, is of utmost importance, the doctors said.

Dr. Lowell said her resident-life evenings were down to a science, and she typically managed two or three tasks every night in a given evening. She said had learned to make conscious choices between eating, showering, studying (for residents, this could be prepping for a big case), doing something social, spending time with family and/or significant other, exercising, errands, and housework. Each person is different, she says, so it’s important to prioritize which two or three of those tasks or activities per night you care about in order to stay “happy and sane.”

“Self-care is incredibly undervalued in residency, all around,” said Dr. Akileswaran. “Sacrifice is what’s respected, including of your own comfort and well-being.”

That said, she urged residents to maintain “one small ritual of self-care.” That might be fitness, massage, meditation, therapy, or something else that makes you “feel human.”

She said she was also a big fan of routine in residency, and not just at bedtime.

“Similar to building muscle memory in the operating room, routines reduce the cognitive load devoted to decision-making, which you will need to conserve for actual patient care,” she said. “[It helps] make sure you aren’t missing anything important.”

Embrace Technology

Dr. Akileswaran recommended a Bluetooth headset if you’re driving to work, as this can be a great time to catch up with friends and family.

She also leveraged various technologies for note-taking and clinical learning, such as Dropbox to store publications and Evernote to aggregate all her notes from talks, Grand Rounds, didactic teaching, and her own learning from cases.

When you finish residency, she said, you’ll have an “incredible living database to draw from.”

Vacations Still Exist—Sometimes

Dr. Shah used upcoming vacations as “the light at the end of the tunnel,” and said trip-planning was one way to help stay in touch with family and friends.

Dr. Akileswaran recommended a vacation style that was about “completely unplugging”— including from your pager and phone. One key caveat: She also budgeted at least one day back at home before your first day of work so that you can settle in and readjust from jetlag.

“Prioritize your time in the most beneficial way for you,” suggested Dr. Lowell; for some people, that’s traveling and for others, it might be a stay-cation complete with a lot of sleep.

Also, you have to compromise, even when there are special events.

“Our time as residents is not our own, and we are completely subjected to the schedules created for us—sometimes we get to put in requests… but sadly nothing is ever guaranteed or promised,” Dr. Lowell added. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ask, she says, but do so respectfully and understand that making a request is putting an extra burden on the person making your schedule.

Leona Blevins, 95

Mrs. Leona Mae Brown Walsh Blevins, age 95 of North Wilkesboro, passed away Friday, July 7th, 2017 at Wilkes Senior Village.

A celebration of her life was July 10th, at Fishing Creek Baptist Church with Rev. Richard Cardwell and Rev. Charles Edwards officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery.

Mrs. Blevins was born January 4, 1922 in Wilkes County to Ray Vaughn and Maude Ann Prevette Brown.

While our nation celebrated its independence a few days ago, it took Leona Brown Walsh Blevins a few days longer to do the same. Nonetheless, her grand finale was just as liberating.

She was a firecracker herself to all that knew her, with a spark of independence and honesty that could not be dimmed.

Most of her life was spent as a dedicated homemaker where her kitchen soon became the favorite spot of everyone to gather. Seated around a table with her famous mashed potatoes, creamed corn and mouth-watering biscuits, 5 star restaurants paled in comparison.

Her spark continued to burn steadily for 95 1/2 years. Along the way she lost many people that she loved including her parents, her husband, Edward Walsh, and later husband, Luther Blevins. Her list of lost loves also included three sisters, four brothers, an infant son, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. The welcoming committee in Heaven was great.

Surviving are her two sons, William Wade Walsh, and wife Ruby, of North Wilkesboro, and Gary Michael Walsh, and wife Vickie, of Wilkesboro. Also, three grandchildren, Sherri Tribble and husband Tim, of North Wilkesboro; Carrie Walsh and fiance' Greg Roten, of Wilkesboro; and Kelley Barker and husband Trent, of Traphill: three special Great-grandchildren, Cameron, Morgan, and Madison; one brother, Edward Eugene Brown and wife Betty, of North Wilkesboro and two special nieces, Debra Hester and Ann Osborne.

While independence means many things to many people, Leona's Independence Day freed her from a tired body and a foggy brain. As she took her last breath here on this Earth, she opened her eyes in Heaven in the presence of the source of all freedoms-freedom from the chains of sin, freedom from pain, and freedom from sadness. Only in His presence are we truly free and it is there that she rejoices today.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Fishing Creek Baptist Church Building Fund, 925 Old 60 Wilkesboro, NC 28697.

Beulah Staley, 85

Mrs. Staley was formerly employed with Rose's Department Store, Crest Five and Dime and a homemaker. Mrs. Staley was an avid gardener and was known for her green thumb, growing vegetables and flowers. Mrs. Staley was known for her delicious home cooked meals. She loved her church, family and her community. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ralph "Clate" Staley; brother, Arvil Huffman; sisters, Eva Brown and Jeanette Staley; son-in-law, Bert Ferrell.

Doug of Lenoir; brother, James Huffman of North Wilkesboro, twin sister, Eulah Huffman and husband Laverne of Purlear; grandchildren, Emily Ferrell who lived with her grandparents and was their caregiver, Ben Ferrell and wife Sandra, Lori Prevette, Nathan Prevette and wife Amanda, Holly Prevette, David Staley and wife Kristin, and Mark Staley and wife Autumn; great grandchildren, Clayton Staley, Lorelei Staley, Riven Staley, Ruby Staley; several nieces and nephews.
