Fulfilling Dreams Ledford Middle School principal ready to chase second passion

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer After a life build around others, Clyde Eugene “Pat” Slaten, 83, died Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010, at High Point Re gional Hospital.

B o r n March 17, 1926, in Fulton, Ga., to the late Clyde Slaten E u g e n e and Fannie Slaten, Pat was a decorated World War II Army Veteran. He spent four years at Georgia Tech and UGA, with a certificate in marketing. Slaten also owned his own printing company, Dixie Ticket and Label.

After retiring, Slaten decided to pursue politi-

WALLBURG — The first thing Evan Myers ever drove was a John Deere tractor.

At 18 months, Myers’ grandfather gave him a pedal tractor, beginning the boy’s love for not only the tractor company but the agricultural business itself.

And though Myers followed a career in education at the encouragement of his mother, Thelma, a teacher of 38 years, he never gave up his love for agriculture.

John Deere tractor models preen proudly in a case in his office at Ledford Middle School, and the principal has spent his personal vacation four of the past six years touring John Deere manufacture sites in the Midwest.

Now, at the end of February, the part-time farm owner will retire from education to pursue this other passion and work for James River Equipment, which has 20 John Deere dealers in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

“Education has always been my love,” said Myers, who has been an educator for Davidson County Schools for 34 years. “My second love other than education has been agriculture and the agriculture industry. I’ll have two perfect jobs in my lifetime.”

Even though Myers knew that Ledford would be his last stop when he became principal seven years ago, leaving won’t be easy, he said.

“My heart will always be here at this school to a certain degree,” Myers said. “I will enjoy watching the children grow up and be successful because I’ll be around.”

Giving children the tools to find that success has been one of Myers’ primary goals while in education, he said. With a family dedicated to teaching — his wife, Carol, his sister, Sally Landis, his daughter, Alisa Henderson, his son, Charles Myers, and his son-

cal office and served on the Thomasville City Council from 2006-08.

“When he was elected to the City Council, that’s when I really got to know Pat as a person and a friend,” said Mayor Joe Bennett. “Pat campaigned — he was running for ward one — and he knocked on every door in this ward. I was highly impressed.”

Even after he lost the election in 2008, Slaten didn’t lose his dedication to the community. He continued serving on committees by appointment, particularly the Golf Advisory Commission, and was instrumental in the development of Winding Creek Golf Course.

“He was sort of a fixture in the community,”

Ledford Middle School Principal Evan Myers works at his desk Wednesday afternoon at the school. in-law, Mike Henderson, were all educators — Myers understands the importance in molding young minds.

“Basically, it’s the foundation of this country,” he said. “Our country could not do well or be the country it has been without public education. One of the most important things we try to do is teach them to be good citizens.”

And Myers has always been one to throw himself into the everyday happenings of his school to get to know the students, said Sloan Denny, assistant principal

at Ledford. Myers even attended the basketball game Tuesday night.

“He loves the dances, and he loves the honor roll and the basketball,” Denny said. “Seeing the kids thrive outside of school are the things he lives for.”

Witnessing that success and that growth in his students gives Myers all the gratification he needs for his hard work, he said.

“Probably the most rewarding thing that we in education have is

A Mineral Springs man was indicted by the Davidson County Grand Jury on Monday for the murder of a 21-month-old baby girl.

According to a press release from the Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office, Travis Christopher Lemmond, 20, of 2220 Billy Howey Road, Cabin 17, in Mineral Springs, is facing one count of first degree murder and one count of felony child abuse inflicting bodily injury after the Davidson County Grand Jury returned two true bills of indictment

on Monday for the death of 21-month-old Lilly Grace Cowell. Detectives, with assistance from the Union County Sheriff ’s Office, arrested Lemmond at his residence on Monday and transported him back to Davidson County for processing. Lemmond was placed in Davidson County Jail and issued no bond.

“We have been actively investigating the case and when the autopsy results came back we contacted the district attorney,” Sheriff David Grice said. “It was then presented to the grand jury,

Spring break shortened due to winter weather

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville City Schools announced makeup days for students at the board of education’s monthly meeting Tuesday night.

As a result of the snowstorm that forced city schools to shut down for nearly a week at the beginning of the month, TCS students won’t have much of a spring break.

Rick Jones, TCS’ career technical education director, said the four makeup

days will take place April 6, 7, 10 and June 10. By going to school on April 10, a Saturday, students will have a regular fiveday week as April 5 is Easter Monday. Graduation at Thomasville High School also will be moved back from June 5 to June 12. City school students missed class on Feb. 1, 2, 3 and 5 due to heavy snowfall.

“What we’re doing is taking two days, April 6 and 7, as make ups,” Jones said. “We have followed what the board did

Community Sponsor

last year. We had to add a day, which will be April 10.”

With all four make-ups days announced, Jones said things will get tricky should any more weather roll into the area and cause more cancellations.

Should students miss any more school, Memorial Day may become a makeup day on May 31 or possibly June 11, which goes against a state statute that says all classes must be finished by June 10.

Students are required to spend 180 days in school.

“In all honesty, if we miss any more days, we’re probably going to have to go on [June 11],” said Jones.

TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin said using Memorial Day as a makeup is a last resort. Thomasville is known for having the largest Memorial Day parade in the state.

“There are no days to make up,” Tobin said.

“Either we’re going to have to get a waiver from the state to make up on a

FOCUS How to trick yourself into a big savings account

BY MARY HUNT Advice Columnist

Now and then, a great reader tip washes up on my desk that causes me to wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?� It makes so much sense: Think of your paycheck as 100 percent savings. Then, as you must, transfer into your checking account only the amount you need to cover your essential expenses. Emotionally, for most of us, it’s a lot harder to spend money once it’s been saved. Read on. I hope you agree; this tip deserves the Tip of the Month award.

TIP OF THE MONTH. I believe that people have a hard time saving money because they deposit their paychecks into their checking accounts. I don’t know anyone who puts his/her paycheck into his/her savings account except me. I currently have about $27,000 in my account. When I need to write checks to pay bills, I transfer the amount of money required to cover them into my checking account. Doing it this way forces me to save money each month. I have read a couple of your books and have found them very informative. I look forward to reading more money-saving tips in “Everyday Cheapskate.� — Shannon P., Ohio MANY POCKETS. I have a trick to keep track of mittens, gloves and other small items of winter gear. I attach an overthe-door plastic pocket organizer (shoe bags available in home stores, such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Home Depot) to a handy closet door near my entryway. No one has to search for that one missing glove or mitten because everything is stored in the handy pockets. I even label each pocket with names and items. — Nell W., Iowa PAID TO WAIT. I saw bra clips advertised on TV for $19.99. I was very tempted to purchase them because they are such a good idea, but I didn’t. A few days later, I was looking in the dollar store and found the same product for $1. Thanks for “Everyday Cheapskate�! — Vikki, e-mail HARDENED SOAP. Anyone who has problems grating Fels-Naptha soap when making laundry detergent should remove the wrapper and allow the soap to sit for a few days to dry out. That makes the grating process much easier. It’s what I do, and it works great. — Sally P., Pennsylvania CAKE STAKE. I found that whenever I put icing on a two-layer cake, the top layer slides around.

Here’s my solution: I put icing on top of the bottom layer, and then I set the top layer on. Then I push my cake tester (a wooden skewer works well) through both layers. This holds the cake in place until I’m finished icing it. — Pat M., Maryland

United Way Agency Allocations

United Way announces 2010 agency allocations Campaign falls short of annual goal TIMES STAFF REPORT The United Way Of Davidson County Board of Directors is pleased to announce its 2010 Funding Allocations to programs sponsored by 30 human service Agencies in Davidson County.

At this point in time the United Way of Davidson County is still $150,000 short of its $2 million dollar goal, so cuts of between 5 and 50 percent had to be made during the 2010 Fund Distribution process. Funding cuts to programs sponsored by the agencies averaged 9.4 percent. “We had over 80 volunteers to participate in our Fund Distribution process,� James Carmichael, associate superintendent of Thomasville City Schools and chair of the United Way’s Board of Directors said. “They visited each agency and heard a financial presentation from each agency.

The work of these Funding Panels formed the basis for our Board’s decision about allocations. It’s always tough to make funding cuts, but we are very grateful to have raised $1.84 million dollars during last year’s recession.�

One agency, the Thomasville Coalition for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, decided not to take a United Way allocation this year,

believing that other agencies serving the basic needs of Davidson County residents should be a priority. “Our Board was completely overwhelmed when the Thomasville Coalition on Alcohol and Drug Abuse asked us to distribute their allocation to other agencies serving Davidson County folks with special needs,� Lee

‘Even though we didn’t quite make our goal of $2 million, we consider the campaign to have been a success.’ — Josef Walker Campaign Chair Jessup, United Way president said. “This is one of the most compassionate gestures I’ve ever experienced and we are grateful to the Coalition for this remarkable action.�

The United Way of Davidson County funds programs based on Funding Priorities for the United Way of Davidson County.

These include: Providing for the basic essentials — food, shelter, clothing, and basic medical needs; providing services to “at risk� children, youth, and older adults; and providing services for families in crisis (mental illness, abuse, special needs clients).

Study Panel Leaders for the United Way during 2009 were Chris Call (Mountcastle Insurance),

Myra Thompson (DCCC), Chuck Taylor (Charles W. Taylor, CPA PA), Dr. Wayne Herrick of Thomasville, Bart Stofferis (Unilin-Quick Step), Scott Beckom (Pallet Resources) Dale Cowan (Williams Gas Pipeline), and Debbie Fanary (Mountcastle Insurance). Keith Johnson (DC Dept. of Social Services) was in charge of this year’s Fund Distribution Process and Campaign Chair was Josef Walker of Thomasville. “Even though we didn’t quite make our goal of $2 million, we consider the campaign to have been a success,� Josef Walker, 2009-10 Campaign Chair said. “Many of our individual donors and companies actually raised more money this year than last year. Our volunteers did an outstanding job in one of the most difficult years we’ve ever had.�

The United Way Of Davidson County will hold its Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet at DCCC on Tuesday, March 23 beginning at 6 p.m. All donors are invited to attend this celebration of this year’s campaign year.

Persons wishing to attend may call 249-2532 and make reservations. The cost is $12 per person.

In August of 2010, information will be distributed via local newspapers announcing a meeting of non-profit human service agencies that are interested in United Way funding for 2011.

WHERE, WHO, WHAT, HOW, HOW LONG, WHY LEFT? Most people have no trouble answering these questions about their career history. It’s just that we don’t often stop to think about these questions or what their answers may tell us. So if you are completely satisfied in your present work situation, have no interest in ever changing it, reflecting on it, or helping someone who does – then please pass this column along to another who can benefit from it.

The above listed questions form six different columns on the Patterns Panel in the PaperRoom System, as described in “Choice Points.” All the headlined panels (we’ve addressed the first three in previous columns) are detailed in the book, where you can complete the work on your own or work with a specially trained PRS coach.

Each column contains information that reveals aspects of career that bring about satisfaction and fulfillment, as well as frustration and disappointment. Good things to know if you are looking around for what’s next.

When working up a resume, it is customary to begin with your most recent employment history. Whether you use a traditional resume format, or the newer functional type resume, working from last to first is the typical order. Once again, the PRS breaks the mold. In the Patterns piece, you go back to the very first employment experiences you had, even back to mowing lawns for the neighbors or baby sitting for the family around the corner.

Now for the questions beginning with WHERE. In the WHERE column you list the different places where you have

been employed, or volunteered for extended periods of time. The answers could contain names of companies, enterprises, cities, towns, or even neighborhoods. These are all the places, large and small, where you have invested your time and energy in the pursuit of a livelihood or some reward.

Moving on to WHO - identify the names of those bosses you have encountered through the years. Some individuals you may have enjoyed, while others you likely endured (at least for a while).

Either way, their names reflect the sum total of employer experiences you have had, as you’ve navigated your career from novice to old hand.

In the WHAT column, name the work you did for each corresponding employer. You might include a few specific tasks you were required to do. Once completed, this field contains all the different types of jobs/tasks you have tackled in your career.

Some entries will show work that is very general or basic; others may list work that is highly skilled. It all counts.

HOW did you get that job in the first place?

Did you respond to an ad? Did a friend tell you about an opening? Did you walk or drive by and notice that a particular place of business was hiring? Maybe your parents told you about a job they thought you should apply for. Its interesting to think that there are patterns here too, as you note all the ways you tend to go about finding a job.

The HOW LONG question, although literal, gets at how much we tend to put change in our lives. Some people work for many years for a single company and when that job ends, look for a similar long term stint. Others routinely change jobs every few years and see that as positive, bringing in opportunities for professional growth or increased job satisfaction.

Once you get to the WHY LEFT column, it is time put down the real reason why you moved on. Whether your choice or a choice forced upon you, there may be several layers to this

answer. Take a moment here to record what really happened. It will, like the other columns, show you interesting trends and work-life patterns that went previously unnoticed.

Once all the data has been collected, the observation and interpretation begins. One very strong aspect of the PRS is the highly visual nature of the query. You can literally SEE patterns in your employment history that you never saw before. The trends around where you prefer to be, the kinds of people with whom you like to work, as well as the kinds of work you most enjoy - are all there in front of you like a snapshot. So are reminders of those employment experiences you never want to repeat. Been there, done that. Indeed the picture of your entire worklife will be clearer than ever before.

It’s a compelling collection of pertinent facts and information. It’s all about you. And its potential lessons abound.

Say no to democracy VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist If you’ve been paying attention to the left-wing punditry these days, you may be under the impression that the nation’s institutions are on the verge of collapse. Or that the rule of law is unraveling. Or maybe that this once-great nation is crippled and nearly beyond repair.

You know why? Because the 40 percent (or so) political minority has far too much influence in Washington. Don’t you know? This minority, egged on by a howling mob of nitwits, is holding progress hostage using its revolting politics and parliamentary trickery.

Leading the charge to fix this dire problem is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who advocates abolishing the Senate filibuster to make way for direct democracy’s magic.

It had better be quick. The populace is fickle. Jacob Weisberg of Slate believes that Americans are crybabies who don’t know what’s good for ‘em, causing “political paralysis.” Even President Barack Obama, after his agenda had come to a halt, claimed democracy is a “messy” process — as if that were a bad thing.

Actually, “democracy” is not only messy but also immoral and unworkable. The Founding Fathers saw that coming, as well. So we don’t live under a system of simple majority rule for a reason, as most readers already know.

The minority political party, luckily, has the ability to obstruct, nag and filibusterthe majority’s agenda.

Otherwise, those in absolute power would run wild — or, in other words, you all would be living that Super Bowl Audi commercial by now.

And if democracy is the mob — the “worship of jackals by jackasses,” as H.L. Mencken once cantankerously put it — whom does it comprise in our scenario? Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.

Not long ago, even before

the Tea Party existed, Obama whipped up crowds angry at Republicans with his rosy brand of left-wing populism.

He was able to hypnotize adoring masses with his grand and nebulous promises, though he had few new ideas and little experience to back it up.

Obama’s ensuing coronation — more than 2 million people reportedly showed up for his inauguration — must have reinforced the perception in Washington that nearly everyone was on board.

And in its first year, this administration acted accordingly, attempting to transform energy and health care policy, among other things.

Turns out, if we believe polls, that Americans changed their minds quickly and in large numbers. And history shows us that generally, unhampered one-party rule doesn’t work out for anyone.

Then again, today’s argument that the ruling party doesn’t have enough power is a reflection of a nearly spiritual belief in the wonders of government, not democracy.

Though many Democrats advocate for direct democracy — whether it be fighting states’ rights or supporting the removal of the Electoral College — it is a curiously selective endeavor.

Take the Tea Partiers, who also have attached themselves to “democracy” rhetoric.

What, one wonders, will Democrats have to say about the filibuster when Sarah Palin is jamming through her first-year agenda as president?

We must be more judicious.

We must have more debate before moving forward. The Founding Fathers never envisioned radical policy being jammed through by the majority. Oh, my God, it’s actually happening.

Those who contend that the ruling party isn’t instilled with enough control are worried about politics, not process. And actually, regardless of which ephemeral majority happens to win the day, we should be looking for more checks on power, not less.

Frontier suburbanite VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist Al Gore is responsible for this. He taunted Mother Nature. Consider this her memo: Don’t Presume To Know What I Have in Store.

Here in Fairfax County, we thought we were prepared. I had purchased enough milk to last our family of five for a week. We had plenty of food. As the blizzard raged Friday night, we were tucked comfortably in the family room under blankets alternately watching a movie and observing the snow blowing sideways past the windows.

The only interruptions to our comfort were the obligatory trips to the (decreasingly visible) driveway for Cali, our 10-week-old puppy.

It was around the 3 a.m. outing that the power went out. I hadn’t really worried enough about that possibility.

Though we often lose power due to summer storms, and occasionally if there’s ice, snow has never before left us dark. But this is no ordinary storm. This is Al Gore’s blizzard. My husband opened the garage door manually. We fumbled with flashlights to find Cali’s leash and get her safely in and out. Back under the covers until 6 a.m., by which time the house was pretty cold and Cali needed to go out again. One of the kids did this trip. The snow was about 10 inches deep but the storm showed no signs of abating.

When the ambient tem-

perature drops below 50 degrees, door handles send a chill down the spine, and we won’t speak of bathroom experiences. A warm drink can make all the difference.

But our cook top is electric, as is the oven. All was dark and inert. In good pioneer spirit, we lit a fire in the fireplace and used a stainless steel pan to boil water.

Those silicon oven mitts have never done more useful service! Pour the boiling water over the (thankfully previously ground beans) et voila — hot coffee. Slightly smoky tasting, but hot. The world is righted. Repeat procedure for the kids (yes, my teenagers drink coffee).

Our hot water heater uses gas, so we could at least wash our hands and faces in warm water. And unlike our less fortunate neighbors, we have county, not well, water so the lack of electricity doesn’t shut down our water supply. But actually taking a shower, only to emerge into near freezing air, didn’t seem appealing.

We plugged in the one corded phone we keep for such emergencies. Dominion Virginia Power estimated restoration by 11 a.m. Thinking of Sisyphus, we started shoveling. Now there were 13 or 14 inches.

We helped the stranded cars near our house dig out.

At 12:30, the power did jump to life, then faltered, then came back on. Rejoice!

There was a rush to power up everything we could — laptops, cell phones, BlackBerries. You could read by the light of the charge brigade. I threw a turkey breast and some potatoes into the oven — and dashed upstairs for the shower and (bless you, Dominion Power!) the hair dryer.

As the inside temperature climbed, we noticed that our supply of firewood was getting unexpectedly low.

Did you dig all around the

rack? Some may have fallen and might be covered with snow. Yes. We were nearly out. Well, no problem. We had power. Until 4 p.m.

— that sickening sound of buzzing when your computer backup needlessly tells you what you already know. And the outside temperature was plunging into the teens.

Now we had 34 inches of snow, just a few logs left, and approaching darkness.

We ate the turkey and potatoes by candlelight, and played a game around the kitchen table. The mood was giddy. We had warm food, two dogs, two cats, shelter, and one another. We had to dig a path for Cali. The snow was way over her head.

She thought it was grand, though. A frolic. Her golden fur wore a halo of white.

The boys bedded down in the family room in front of the fireplace. My husband and I slept in our room under four blankets. Only my face was cold. But in the morning, it was getting harder to be cheerful. Almost out of firewood, we burned an old table that had been in the storage room. If we could get out of our street, we could go to a hotel. Oh, but not with a puppy who doesn’t yet distinguish between the outside and the kitchen floor. More fireplace coffee, less fun this time.

For now, the power has returned. But the forecast is for another 8 to 12 inches starting tomorrow. A little snow is beautiful, but this is getting to be bad taste. We’re grinding coffee and praying that the firewood will be delivered in the morning, as promised. Otherwise, I’m eyeing the kitchen chairs sadly.

Board looks closer at Wilcox Bridge

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Davidson County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday night to further discuss the ownership of Wilcox Bridge.

While the state said it will grant Davidson County $2.5 million if the county assumes ownership, commissioners expressed uncertainty and confusion about the bridge’s repair costs and whether or not that expense would be deducted from the state’s monetary grant.

The help the decision, the board approved an $8,500 contract with a private engineering firm, bringing in a third party to further assess what repairs the bridge may require.

“We just want to make sure that we ask all the right questions, that

“He loved the game of golf and loved everyone who played the game.”

Slaten put just as much dedication into his personal life as his public one, walking three miles every morning, caring for his wife and family, and meeting up with friends.

He even stopped by City Hall for random visits, such as to bring by a rum cake, Craver said.

“Pat was almost larger than life,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever met anyone who lived life to the fullest quite like Pat did.

You see so many people go through life saying, ‘I want to see somebody else do the hard work.’ But he did the heavy lifting.”

“We don’t want to find out things we should’ve known about before, after we make the decision.”

Wilcox Bridge will be destroyed when the N.C. Department of Transportation replaces the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River if the Board doesn’t take ownership. Associated with area history, Wilcox Bridge was the site of one of the last Civil War battles. Commissioners hope to preserve that history and convert the bridge into a walking and bike path, McClure said.

The Board should receive the engineering firm’s assessment as well as the DOT’s responses to questions posed at Tuesday’s meeting before the next Commissioner’s meeting March 9. A decision on ownership

“That’s what it’s all about, remembering Pat for the person that he was,” Bennett said.

MURDER From page A5 who issued true bills of indictments. The grand jury is 16 people who review felony cases before they go to trail. They will determine if there is a true bill or no bill of indictment. Typically, if a person is charged with a felony, we’ll obtain a warrant, arrest them, and they’ll have a probable cause hearing. We can go straight to the grand jury, as the district attorney did in this case.

The indictments follow a nearly three-month long investigation, dating back to Nov. 20, 2009, when deputies responded to a report of a 21-monthold child pronounced dead at Lexington Memorial Hospital. Detectives began investigating the child’s death, conducting interviews with family members and collecting necessary evidence. The child’s body was sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill.

DCCC wins title outright

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

CALENDAR TODAY BASKETBALL Louisburg JV @ DCCC 7 p.m.

FRIDAY BASKETBALL Thomasville @ Lexington 6 p.m.

Davidson County Community College doesn’t have to share anything this year.

After finishing in a tie for first place in the Storm’s first two seasons, DCCC will have the Region X Tarheel conference championship all to themselves following Tuesday night’s 73-68 over Central Carolina Community College. DCCC, currently ranked sixth in the country in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III poll, is 21-4 on the year, including a perfect 8-0 record in the Tarheel conference.

“We were excited,” DCCC coach Matt Ridge said. “It was definitely one of our goals before the season just as it was the previous two seasons. We were co-champions before, but this year we wanted to do it without the

‘co’ part. We were fortunate enough to do that. Hopefully, this will not be the highlight of our season. We want to base our pride not on what we’ve done but what we’re going to do.”

Justin Glover’s 24 points paced the Storm Tuesday night, as DCCC collected its 13th victory in a row. With the regular season title locked up, the Storm head into the conference tournament on Feb. 25-27 as the top seed and will have a first round bye.

Ridge In the previous two seasons, DCCC has reached the finals only to lose to Catawba Valley, who is longer in the conference. Taking that step and getting that elusive championship is next on the Storm’s list, especially after losing last

year’s final on a 3-pointer in the final seconds.

“There’s not been many days in the past year where that game hasn’t been in the back of my mind,” said Ridge. “It was the most painful loss I’ve had as a coach. To lose like that was such a dagger in our side. Our sophomores have talked to the team about not going out like that again.”

After starting the year 2-3, DCCC has only lost one of their last 20. There are two more games left in the regular season and both are at home where the Storm is 38-2 in almost three full seasons. DCCC hosts Louisburg tonight at 7 p.m. before honoring its sophomores on Saturday against Caldwell Community College. Sophomores Roderick Geter, Eric Potts and Phillip Williams all will be

Sports Editor Thomasville’s boys’ team was on a high coming into Tuesday’s Central Carolina Conference game with Salisbury, having beaten East Davidson in a crucial game in terms of seeding the night before.

But the second-place Hornets dealt them a 55-42 loss, bringing the excitement down a notch and keeping the Bulldogs in a dead heat with the Golden Eagles for the third spot.

Isaiah Williams and Donovan Merchant led THS with nine points each, while Salisbury was paced by John Knox who netted 13.

“That is probably the best team we have faced all year in my opinion,” said Thomasville coach Tony Clark. “It seems like for a while we just did not have an answer for anything they did.”

In the girls’ game, the Lady Hornets had a height advantage at almost every position, using its size and athleticism to cruise 46-27. The Hornets are now 17-0 and maintain the top spot in the CCC at 8-0.

Alexis Lambert put in a tough effort scoring eight points for the Bulldogs with Bubbles Phifer leading SHS with 13.

years of league clashes are on tap before the next statewide realignment.

Henderson compiled a 47-41 record with the Panthers and his teams reached the second round of the playoffs four times.

Ledford’s only losing seasons during Henderson’s tenure — in 2004 and 2005 — included conference records of 5-3 and 3-3, respectively.

Henderson’s fondest memories were of his first team that tied for a conference champion-

Monday’s Central Carolina Conference matchup between the East Davidson boys and Thomasville left one coach happy as can be, while the other could barely stand to be around his team.

With control over third place in the standings on the line, Thomasville played with determination with East looking a bit out of sorts, as the Bulldogs pulled away for a 52-41 win.

“The guys just fought tonight through some adversity,” said THS coach Tony Clark. “That is the biggest win of my career so far.”

East coach Matt Jacobs’ emotions were at the opposite end of the spectrum.

“I think for the first time we showed no heart whatsoever,” Jacobs said. “We went from Thursday night playing like we could win a conference championship, where tonight we just went through the motions. This is the most disappointed as I have ever been with any team I have ever had. I never thought I would feel that way about this team and it hurts me to say that.”

The Golden Eagles had a good start racing out to a 7-0 lead, but the remainder of the game was a huge disappointment.

Thomasville overcame the deficit and built a 2312 lead at the half.

Thomasville guard De Dow missed the last meeting between the two in a game that saw East roll past the Bulldogs, but his presence on the floor in this game was a big part of the success.

Though he scored just nine points, his athleticism and quickness kept THS flowing at a high pace.

East did make a bit of a comeback late in the third quarter and early

Danica Patrick not the only woman earning spotlight The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway may be commonly referred to as “Dani-palooza,” but there is a larger issue at stake. This race may actually be breaking new ground in the realm of coed sports.

Admittedly, using the word “realm” may be a bit of a reach. Is there really any such thing as a true coed sport? Do we even WANT there to be a true coed sport?

The definitive answer is ... we’re not sure.

Tennis has probably done the best job of giving it a go. Billie Jean King trounced a much older Bobby Riggs in straight sets in 1973, and guys will begrudgingly submit to a mixed doubles match now and again, although they never look all that thrilled about it.

Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstam have competed in PGA events, but their lack of success made those appearances look more like publicity stunts than legitimate shots at a win in golf ’s highest level.

And professional bowler Kelly Kulick got a lot of attention on Jan. 24 when she made history by becoming the first woman to win a PBA Tour title.

In stock cars, women like Louise Smith, Janet Guthrie and Shawna Robinson have tried, but let’s be honest. For the most part, they haven’t been taken all that seriously.

That may be changing.

IRL superstar Danica Patrick, probably the most famous female race car driver in history, is climbing into a stock car in 2010 — running the ARCA race at Daytona in addition to a parttime NASCAR Nation-

ON NASCAR

CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist wide Series schedule — and the move has generated nearly as much speculation and debate as any NASCAR driver announcement in recent memory.

Yes, Patrick was a notable name on the ARCA entry list, but somewhat overlooked is the fact that she was not the only female driver in the race.

Six women qualified for the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 — Patrick, Alli Owens, Leilani Munter, Milka Duno, Jennifer Jo Cobb, and Jill George.

Patrick’s accomplishments are well known.

But who are these other women? Why did they belong in this race?

I’m glad you asked.

Daytona Beach native Alli Owens began her racing career at the age of 8. She worked her way through the ranks, competing in quarter midgets, Mini Stocks, Late Models and the NASCAR Whelen All American Series before landing in the ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2008.

In a December 2009 test session at Daytona, Owens was the only female driver to consistently place in the top three. In fact, she posted the fastest time of any of the female drivers.

Leilani Munter began racing in California in 2001 in the Allison Legacy Series. She made

her first speedway start in 2004 at Texas Motor Speedway, where she set a new qualifying effort for a female driver at the track.

In 2006, in just her fifth race of the season, she finished fourth, setting a new record at Texas Motor Speedway for the highest finish by a female driver in the history of the track. In 2007 she made the move to open wheel racing, then got back in a stock car in December 2008, testing an ARCA car at Daytona.

In the December 2009 ARCA practice session at Daytona, Munter posted the seventh quickest lap.

Sports Illustrated magazine has named her one of the top 10 female race car drivers in the world.

Milka Duno began her racing career in 1996 in her native Venezuela, finishing second in the Venezuelan GT championship. She was the first woman in history to win a Ferrari Challenge, and in 2007, she became the highest-finishing female in the history of the 24 Hours of Daytona; her team finished in second place. That same year, she competed in the Indianapolis 500.

Duno made her stock car debut at the ARCA open test at Daytona in December 2009. With no prior practice or seat time in any type of stock car, at the end of the sessions on Saturday, she had delivered the 13th quickest time, and was the second fastest woman, behind Owens.

Kansas City native Jennifer Jo Cobb has competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in addition to the ARCA RE/MAX Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. She has announced plans to

Leading 36-28 moments later, Thomasville used a 7-0 run to put the game away. Davis hit a baseline jumper, then Dow converted a 3-point play and added another basket off the glass.

“There is so much more room for improvement, but I am just happy as can be tonight,” said Clark.

East had hoped to take a stranglehold on third place and perhaps move up with some help throughout this final week, but it was not meant to be.

“We got up 7-0 and I guess we thought it would just be easy,” said Jacobs. “We didn’t even show Thomasville the respect of giving them a good game.”

Merchant finished with 13 points and Davis 12 for the Bulldogs. Warren dropped in 13 to lead East with Blake Dodd chipping in with 11.

Chasity McCurdy dribbles the ball up the ball up the floor on Tuesday.

EARN From page 7 Boys Thomasville kept pace with the Hornets through one quarter trailing by only two, but a steady dose of pressure helped Salisbury get turnovers and forced the Bulldogs into contested shots.

Darien Rankin scored the first two buckets in what turned out to be a 18-4 second quarter in favor of SHS, as they built a 33-17 halftime lead.

The lead was extended to four early in the third quarter, with the Bulldogs about to be ran out of their own gym.

De Dow and Merchant scored two quick baskets for Thomasville, helping them chip away at the lead. Alex Weant scored in the lane to shove Salisbury ahead 39-21, before the Bulldogs finally made a huge dent in the deficit.

Mainly led by Williams and Merchant, the Dogs reeled off 12 unanswered points to trail 39-33 at the end of three. This time it was the pressure of THS that had Salisbury off balance, and the swarming presence of Dow and Williams made much of the comeback possible.

The two flew all over the court making steals and slicing through the defense off the dribble.

Williams willed his way into the lane several times and even knocked down a 3-pointer.

“I didn’t think we did a very good job defensively there in the third quarter,” said Salisbury coach Jason Causby. “We

rushed shots and were careless with the ball.

But Thomasville played their butts off to get back in the game.”

Salisbury made the adjustments and the Bulldogs began to wear down in the fourth quarter.

Salisbury’s 13-4 run to the 1:22 mark buried any hopes Thomasville had of victory.

“It took all of our energy just trying to get back in it,” said Clark. “With all of our energy trying to win the East game, we just did not have the legs tonight.”

only trailing 21-12 at the break. The starters returned in the second half and limited the Bulldogs to eight points in the third quarter, allowing them to build a comfortable 33-18 advantage.

Girls Lacardo Means just wanted his team to go out and perform the best they could, knowing Salisbury were heavy favorites in the game.

As it turned out, the Hornets were too much for his team to handle, but he got what he expected from his girls.

“My girls played as hard as they could play the whole game long,” Means said. “We are young and small, and when you play what I think is the No. 1 team in the state, I cannot ask for any more than they did. We give effort every night and I can deal with that.”

Salisbury stormed out to a 14-6 advantage, mainly because of the height inside of Olivia Rankin and Jessica Helig. When the Hornets were not hitting shots, those two cleaned up over the shorter Bulldogs.

The Hornets played substitutes for the entire second quarter to allow THS to hang close

When FrenchAmerican architect Pierre Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant designed Washington, D.C., he included plans for a monument to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first president.

The design was chosen through a contest, as were most capital memorials.

The winning designer was Robert Mills.

In 1848, workers began building the monument, but money ran out after six years. By the time work began again, 25 years later, workers had to get rock from a different quarry. As a result, the stone changes color about one-third of the way up.

Supersport: Jayne Appel Height: 6-4 Hometown: Pleasant Hill, Calif.

On the basketball court, Jayne Appel is up to her usual performance: scoring, rebounding and blocking shots. In the Stanford womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-0 start, the tall and talented center averaged 13.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and blocked 14 shots.

With more than half a season left in her sparkling college career, Appel already holds the Cardinal record for blocked shots, with more than 200. A psychology major, her presence on the court can psyche opponents out.

Appel earned second-team All-America and Pac-10 Player of the Year honors as a junior last year. In one game, she unloaded a career-high 46 points.

Before joining the tradition-rich Stanford program, Appel was a high school star and became the â&#x20AC;&#x153;appleâ&#x20AC;? of college recruitersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. She won two gold medals in international competition playing for the United States.

Away from her favorite game, Appel enjoys being with her friends and playing water polo. But she makes the biggest splash on the basketball court.

The Lincoln Memorial A place for dreams Abraham Lincoln is one of our most honored presidents. He took the first big steps toward ending slavery.

He held the United States together during the Civil War. As a result, the memorial to him has become one of the most inspirational sites in the world.

Many world-changing events have been held there.

In 1939, a group would not allow singer Marian Anderson to perform in their hall because she was black.

First lady Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange for her to sing at the Lincoln Memorial instead. Millions heard her concert on the radio.

In 1963, at a march for civil rights, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech there. The speech continues to inspire people Martin Luther throughout the world. King Jr.

The Lincoln Memorial was designed by Henry Bacon with 36 columns on the outside. These represent the states that existed at the end of Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency. The names of the 48 states that existed when the memorial was dedicated are written at the top of the memorial.

A plaque with the names of the newest states, Alaska and Hawaii, was placed at the memorial later.

Lincoln is seated because the designer thought a standing figure would disappear among the tall columns.

The memorial When Lincoln was president in the 1860s, the Potomac River came almost to the Washington Monument, about three-fourths of a mile away.

The Lincoln Memorial is built on former swamp land that was filled in by the U.S. Army in the late 1800s.

Work began on the memorial in 1914.

The 19-foot-tall statue of Lincoln is made up of 28 pieces of marble put together like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Honoring Jefferson and FDR The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial

Cherry trees surround the Jefferson Memorial. When it was built, people were afraid the cherry trees would be cut down.

When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt first came to Washington, D.C., he was surprised that there was no memorial to his hero, Thomas Jefferson. Roosevelt led the push to build a memorial to him.

Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.

He also nearly doubled the size of America with the Louisiana Purchase.

Working during the war Workers began building the memorial in 1938. The original statue was made of plaster because metal was needed for weapons in World War II. After the war, a bronze statue replaced the plaster one.

The Mini Page thanks Jennifer Epstein, education specialist, National Park Service, for help with this issue.

Next week, The Mini Page is about the fun of solving math problems.

This statue in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial shows Roosevelt with his dog, Fala. The memorial was designed by Lawrence Halprin.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is the largest presidential memorial in Washington, D.C. It covers about 7.5 acres. It was dedicated in 1997.

The memorial is made up of four outdoor â&#x20AC;&#x153;rooms.â&#x20AC;?

Timing is everything Durham Herald Sun

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Having already secured the return of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski after his gold medal success in the 2008 Olympics, USA Basketball revealed Wednesday that the large majority of the players who steered that team will return for another run.

The organization named 27 players who have agreed to be a part of the 2010-12 USA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Team. The list includes nine of the 12 players on the 2008 Olympic team, highlighted by starters Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard as well as reserve Dwayne Wade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the leading scorer in the Olympics.

Gone are starting point guard Jason Kidd and reserves Tayshaun Prince and Michael Redd. But back in the mix are point guard Chauncey Billups and post player Amarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e Stoudemire, likely Olympians in 2008 who pulled out before the Beijing games.

Also back are 2008 Olympic vets Chris Paul, Chris Bosh and Deron Williams, as well as

DREAMS From page 1 not about the money,â&#x20AC;? Myers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about who we are. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what we do. A lot of times our rewards donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until years later. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a rewarding career.â&#x20AC;?

That being said, Myers emphasized that he could not have done all that he has without the support of his wife, his assistant principals and his fac-

BREAK From page 1 Saturday or use Memorial Day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not wanting to use holidays at this point. [Memorial Day] is a big deal and it should be, and my preference would be not to mess with it. We may be forced to, but hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some good weather.â&#x20AC;?

In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ TCS approved a budget amendment of $50,000 to be used for resurfacing the track and tennis

Carlos Boozer, a former Duke standout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think continuity is an important part of building a program,â&#x20AC;?

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so when you look at what was accomplished and the effort that was put forth and the unity and camaraderie that developed, it was a truly a team effort in every respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can keep something going like that, you do [that]. The reason theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back is because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deserving of being back.â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski announced in July that he would be back, and this is the first major step in his second tour of duty. The next steps come over the summer, when the pool of players will attend mini-camps in July and August, out of which a 12-member roster will be picked to compete in the 2010 FIBA World Championship for Men beginning Aug. 28 in Turkey.

The winner of the 24country tournament will earn a berth into the 2012 Olympics in London.

Krzyzewski came up short in the 2006 World Championships, settling for a bronze medal before rolling to the 2007

ulty, including the work of Denny, who will take over as interim principal when Myers leaves Feb. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Ms. Denny grow,â&#x20AC;? Myers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She caught my eyes with her leadership ability. Kids respect her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; teachers respect her. The transition is going to be good.â&#x20AC;?

FIBA Americas Championship to qualify for the Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely important,â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world looks at it as the world championships.

We were kidding about it during the Olympics, saying they should call it the World Cup for basketball, and it would get even more significance.â&#x20AC;?

Half of the 12 players from the 2006 World Championships arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the 27-player list, including three with local ties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; former Duke players Shane Battier and Elton Brand and former UNC player Antawn Jamison.

The list does, however, again include Boozer, the returning Olympian who had the least statistical impact on the gold medal run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of time on the Olympic team this past run, but he brought a lot of experience to the table,â&#x20AC;?

Colangelo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very dependable guy. We know his strengths in terms of his game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his inside presence, his size, rebounding, blocked shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a role for Carlos Boozer just playing his game, and he gets the

team concept in spades.â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski said he thought the pool of talent had improved right along with the interest level since he and Colangelo announced a 23player group in 2006 that kicked off USA Basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new approach to building a program rather just simply selecting a roster.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list included seven young players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose among them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06 list but who scrimmaged against the Olympic team as members of the 2008 USA Basketball Select Team.

It also included 11 young players, those seven plus four more, who took part in a mini-camp last summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing the benefits of having not just a World Championship team or an Olympic team but also these other teams that give everybody a chance to be a part of USA Basketball,â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a step up from the pool we had in the last quad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to see this many people be interested in being a part of the program.â&#x20AC;?

DOT warns motorists to beware of potholes TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH — North Carolina has seen its fair share of winter weather this season. While this may be fun for those of us who love to join a snowball fight, it’s not for motorists driving on roads.

The N.C. Department of Transportation reminds motorists that this is a bad year for potholes and to keep an eye out while driving on roads throughout the state. We will continue to see potholes over the coming months.

NCDOT’s top priority is to provide a safe transportation system for North Carolina. Potholes are common during the winter months when moisture seeps into cracks in pavement, freezes, expands and then thaws.

This causes cracks to widen or asphalt to rise.

Traffic then loosens the pavement, which eventually crumbles, creating a pothole. North Carolina has seen several of these freeze-thaw cycles this winter.

Motorists play an important role in identifying potholes. If you see a pothole on a state-maintained road, report it to the NCDOT Customer Service Office at 1-877368-4968, or send in a report online at www. ncdot.gov/contact. Scroll down to “Reporting” and use the drop-down menu to choose the county, then the link for a Contact Us email form that can be sent directly to that county’s maintenance office. Provide as much detail as possible about the location of the pothole including the city or county, road name, nearest intersection, which lane the pothole is in, and the size and depth of the pothole. To report a pothole on a road that is not maintained by the state, contact the local municipality.

City reports two wastewater spills TIMES STAFF REPORT

The City of Thomasville reported two wastewater spills on Feb. 5, 2010.

A spill of of 46,000 gallons of untreated wastewater came from the East Davidson Pump Station and spilled into South Hamby Creek — a tributary of the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin. A second spill of 5,760 gallons came from a manhole on Concord Street and spilled into a tributary to North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

According to a press release, the Division of Water Quality was notified, and the City is reviewing the matter.

House Bill 1160, which the General Assembly enacted in July, 1999, requires that municipalities and others who operate waste handling systems issue news releases when a waste spill of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters.

Swerving can cause loss of vehicle control.

• Slow down. Carefully avoid impact with potholes. If a pothole can’t be avoided, slow down.

Hitting a pothole at a high speed increases the chance of damage to the vehicle, and losing control.

• Roll through. Rolling through the pothole is better than braking rapidly.

• Properly inflate tires.

Over-inflated and underinflated tires increase risk of tire and wheel damage.

•Avoid puddles that may conceal a deep pothole.
