Chatham Vaccine Providers Work To Ensure Vaccine Equity for Hispanic Residents
When Chatham Hospital’s Jesus Ruiz became the first person and first Latino in the county to get vaccinated on Dec. 16, UNC Health made its stance clear: vaccine equity and access would be top priority.
“It’s very important to get the coronavirus vaccines,” Ruiz said in a Spanish-language video Chatham Hospital shared on Facebook a week later. “In part it’s another weapon against this virus that unfortunately has devastated our community, so I recommend that everyone get vaccinated when the vaccine becomes available to all of us.”
SILER CITY Call them vintage. Or just call them old. But for Jordan-Matthews High School media coordinator Rose Pate, that large pile of old Life magazines that had remained untouched for decades was just gathering dust. Let’s face it: They were trash.
But that didn’t mean she was ready to bury them in a landfill. “We needed to clear the library storeroom early last year to make a workspace for teachers and so we simply needed to get rid of them,” Pate said. “After give-aways to our history teachers, the next obvious spot was the art department.”
Down the hall and around the corner, some art students studying under teacher Rahma Mateen-Mason worked in the studio at the time, sorting through the stacks, pulling images and words for their own collages. After that, when there were so many issues left untouched, Mateen-Mason knew exactly where to send them next: her friend John R. Miles III.

VIENNA School officials are discussing options with district buildings and properties, including eliminating one building as a cost-savings measure.
School Superintendent Russell McQuaide and members of the Mathews Board of Education are considering going from three school buildings to two and also possibly putting up for sale some land behind the school administration building off Cadwallader Sonk Road.
The district has Currie Elementary School in Fowler for kindergarten to second grades, Baker Elementary School in Vienna for grades three to six and Mathews High School in Vienna for grades seven to 12.
Being proposed is to use Baker for housing kindergarten to fifth and the high school for sixth to 12th, and closing Currie.
