Congratulations! ~ North Carolina Wins $400 Million “Race to the Top” Grant for Education

North Carolina is in the winner’s circle for the US Department of Education’s “Race to the Top” grant competition. In the video below, US Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, announced the winners.

For over 50 years, Washington has relied on formulas to distribute federal education dollars to the states based on school district size and other data. The Race to the Top competition may signal a transformation from awards based on formulas to awards based on what works best.

If this trend toward funding what works best holds up in Raleigh, the Davie County STEM Education Initiative and the NCSTEM Community Collaborative should continue to gather steam.

Visions of a Davie County Bio-Center

labmirrorScott Callison has a vision for creating a biotech incubation center in Davie County.  The Davie County Bio-Center would accelerate the successful development of start-up and early-stage R&D driven companies active in the biotechnology and related life sciences sectors.

STEM Education for students ~ As envisioned by Dr. Callison, The Davie County Bio-Center would provide real world science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning opportunities for students from the Davie County High School, Early College and DCCC Community College programs.  The STEM learning opportunities would include student lead research and development (R&D) projects addressing practical, real-world problems.

Supported by scientists at the center, students would formulate hypothesis, conduct research on current knowledge, design experiments to test the hypothesis, collect and analyze data from experiments and publish a report on the findings.  Scott envisions a process whereby student R&D work could lead to publication in peer reviewed scientific journals.  In addition to engaging students in relevant, problem solving and project-based learning, this hands-on experience would provide Davie County students with a competitive advantage over other students bound for college and careers in the 21st century.

Davie-County-STEM-LogoSTEM Education for adults ~ Dr. Callison also envisions STEM education opportunities for adults looking at new careers or skills to help with daily tasks and decisions.  This might include community seminars featuring speakers from the scientific community presenting on topics of general interest or current event relevance.  One example Dr. Callison talks about is the topic of immunization.  With H1N1 and seasonal flu shots featured in news stories almost daily, the center could provide a community education seminar on the science behind vaccines, how they are developed, why they work, and the benefits of vaccinations to the health of their families.  The STEM education initiative for adults might also include periodic newsletters and web based materials.

dnastructureLocal Economic Benefits ~ While the failure rate for newly opened small businesses over 5 years exceeds 50%, studies have shown that 87% of businesses graduating from incubators are still in business 5 years later and that 85% of those are operating in the same community.  A biotech/life sciences incubation center in Davie County would both leverage and strengthen other investments in life-sciences that have seen significant growth in Davie County in 2009.  The community can harness long term benefits from a successful incubator as companies graduate from the incubator and pay taxes on earnings, provide local jobs, and build value into the local tax base.

Local talent a significant plus ~ Strong incubators facilitate scientific information exchange, industry partnerships and professional networking opportunities for scientists and researchers.  One way to assure a strong start is to have an anchor in place that attracts other fledgling companies.  GTCAllison, LLC could be that anchor.  After receiving his Ph.D. in Medical Microbiology, Scott Callison returned home to Davie County to start GTCAllison, LLC, a life-sciences company located in Mocksville with a focus on animal diagnostics and molecular biology products.

His company is profitable, has an established base of intellectual property, and has working relationships with a wide range of clients and organizations from multinationals like Merial to university research labs like North Carolina State University and The University of Pennsylvania.  A graduate of Davie County High School, Scott’s ties to the community are strong and he believes that this is the right time for biotech success in Davie County.

Want to Learn more? ~ If you have a fledgling company in the biotech, agri-tech, nanotech, or life sciences industry and you are interested in participating in or investing in a small business incubation model, contact Scott Callison, Manager of GTCAllison, LLC at 336-473-5525 or contact Terry Bralley, President of the Davie County Economic Development Commission at 336-751-2714.

Carnegie Medal for Heroism To Be Awarded in Public Ceremony to Elijah Wittum at Riverpark, Cooleemee on Tuesday, August 17th at 6:00 PM

Elijah Jarred Wittum will be presented with the Carnegie Medal for Heroism at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 17th.  The public is encouraged to attend.

carnegie medal

Inscription on the Carnegie Medal: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13).

The Carnegie Hero Medal, established in 1904 by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, recognizes selfless acts of heroism.  The awards are given each year to individuals who place themselves in significant danger to save the life of a fellow human being.

Elijah Jarred Wittum saved the life of Marlon Porfirio on May 30th, 2009.  On this day, Marlon, 15 years old, was swept downstream by the very swift current of the South Yadkin River, which was swollen and muddied from heavy rain.  Marlon shouted for help.  Wading near the bank of the river downstream was Elijah Jarred Wittum, a 16 year old high school student.

Elijah Jarren Wittum

When Elijah heard the screams for help, he immediately entered the deeper water and swam downstream after Marlon, reaching him at a point about 30 feet out.  Both boys then submerged when Marlon panicked and took hold of Elijah by the neck, but Elijah broke free and surfaced.  Elijah dove back under the swirling, muddy water, found Marlon, and returned him to the surface.  Holding onto Marlon, Elijah swam toward the bank as the current carried them downstream.  They reached a tree that extended from the bank over the water, and Elijah grasped it.  Men who were fishing nearby took Marlon into the tree and then to the bank, Elijah following.  Marlon was taken to the hospital and fully recovered.  Meanwhile, Elijah returned to the family picnic he had been attending… just another day on the river.

Yadkin River ~ Swollen and Muddy On Day of Rescue

Not everyone sees it that way.   Elijah, an Eagle Scout was awarded the Boy Scout Medal of Honor with Cross Palms, the highest honor for bravery awarded by the Boy Scouts.  All Eagle Scouts are required to take life saving.  The Boy Scout motto, “Always be Prepared” has seldom had such a visible result.

Elijah is the son of Jimmy Wittum and Cyndi Allison Wittum.  His brother, Celeb Wittum is also an Eagle Scout. Elijah’s grandparents are Evelyn and Harry Looney and the late Bob Allison; Darleen Wittum and the late Jim Wittum of Kansas/Oklahoma.

Join us tomorrow evening at 6:00 PM to help Elijah and his family celebrate this well deserved award.

Lee Jeans Consolidation Means More Jobs for Davie County

Lee Jeans GraphicVF Corporation, a global apparel leader headquartered in Greensboro, NC selected Davie County as the single point of distribution for Lee Jeans to all US markets, increasing the volume of Lee Jeans shipped out of the Mocksville facility.   This brought an additional 50 jobs to Davie County with the possibility of more jobs by year end.  Currently there are 430 associates at the Lee Jeans distribution facility in Mocksville.  As a result of this consolidation, every pair of Lee Jeans, from Maine to Florida, New York to Alaska is now shipped out of Mocksville to retailers throughout North America.

“Davie County is conveniently located within a 12 hour drive of 60% of the US population.  Lee Jeans acknowledged their productive work force in Mocksville and the strategic location on I-40, within minutes of I-77 and I-85 made Davie County the smart choice for the Lee Jeans distribution center” said Terry Bralley, President of the Davie County Economic Development Commission.

Lee Jeans Celebrates 20 Years in Davie County
Lee Jeans just celebrated 20 years in Davie County where they play an important role in the community.  They are a major contributor to Davie County United Way, Davie County Relay for Life, Davie County Domestic Violence Services, Smart Start, Storehouse for Jesus, and many other charitable organizations.

$75,000,000 Raised to Fund Breast Cancer Research
Lee Jeans has also raised over $75,000,000 to help fund breast cancer research programs through Lee National Denim Day, established in 1996 as part of national breast cancer awareness month.

Founded in 1889 by Henry David Lee as the Lee Mercantile Company in Salina, Kansas, Lee Jeans was purchased by VF Corporation in 1969.  The Lee Jeans Distribution Center in Mocksville operates 7 days per week at a 500,000 square foot facility across from Davie County High School and beside the Davie County Campus of Davidson County Community College.

Relationships Build Visibility and Recognition for Davie County
Recent growth in the Site Selection Consulting industry is evidence of the long term strategic importance of location decisions made by companies both large and small.  Building strong relationships with organizations like the Piedmont Triad Partnership, the North Carolina Department of Commerce and site selection consultants from around the world is helping get the word out about Davie County as a great place to locate a business.

Davie County is proud to be the home of the Lee Jeans Distribution Center in Mocksville, NC.
