LYT to honor Dr. Seuss Youth theatre celebrates 25 years on stage
Man charged with possession of child pornography BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
All those “whos” down in “whoville” join with Cat-in-the-Hat and Horton in the Lexington Youth Theater’s 25th birthday celebration production of Seussical the Musical. The show, which will run March 12-14, will feature 70 children grades 3-12 from the Davidson County area. “We felt that Seussical the Musical has broad appeal,” said LYT Publicity Chair Sylvia Walters Drake. “It’s just a fun celebration.” LYT, an all-youth theater group, began in 1985 with “On The Tip of my Tongue.” While directors only expected between 25 and 30 kids to try out, 80 showed to auditions. Now, 25 years later, that trend has continued. Including the backstage crew members, Seussical the Musical cast numbers 85-strong. “This is just amazing,” said LYT President Nita Jarrett. “I don’t think the audience realizes that the productions we put on are all kids.” As part of the 25th anniversary celebrations — and also partly in honor of Dr. Seuss’ 106 birthday — LYT has put on 15 different little shows in its Seussical Reading Week this week. The actors read from Dr. Seuss books, sing songs from the performance and talk about acting. LYT also will sell cookbooks for $10 — a compilation of various cast member favorite recipes — and set up a display
A Davie County High School guidance counselor was arrested Wednesday by the Davidson C o u n t y Sherif f ’s Office and charged with multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a Sidden minor in connection with a child pornography investigation. According to a DCSO press release, Kevin Ronald Sidden, 37, of 485 Forest Creek Drive in
Winston-Salem, is facing three counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor following a month-long investigation involving solicitation of a high school student and possession of child pornography. DCSO detectives obtained and executed a search warrant at Sidden’s residence near Wallburg, seizing computers that authorities allege “possess numerous images of child pornography.” “We were involved in the investigation because the computers involved in the case were in Davidson County,” Sheriff Da-

Smith Civic Center, in Lexington Cost: $8 pre-sale and $10 at the door, plus a can of food from all past shows. Still in the works is a special summer production for kids kindergarten through eighth grade, something the theater group had done in the past and wants to bring
back for the birthday celebration. As one of the nation’s only remaining allyouth theaters, LYT is a big draw for kids. Most of the actors said they love the atmosphere, be-
ing among all peers and forming strong friendships. “You get to be friends and be part of something that’s pretty big,” Keaton Everhart, 13, of Thomasville, said. Others are attracted to the acting itself and love standing in the spotlight. “It’s a good way to express myself,” said Micahley Shaver, 16, of Thomasville. “I’m very bubbly and happy, and this stuff kind of brings that out.”

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer A new solar energy farm in Davidson County will likely be the largest photovoltaic solar farm in the country, bringing more than 16 megawatts of energy to consumers no later than Dec. 31, 2010. The farm — built by SunEdison, a solar energy services provider — recently completed the farm’s first phase, which includes 14,000 solar panels with four megawatts of generation capacity. Duke Energy Carolinas, based in Charlotte, bought a 20-year contract for the farm’s entire en-
ergy output. “We’ve really started to increase the amount of solar energy that we’re bringing to our customers,” said Jason Walls, media relations and solar expert for Duke Energy. Over the course of Duke Energy’s 20-year contract, the farm will generate 115 million kilowatt hours of electricity, according to SunEdison spokesman Brad Oswald. That electricity will be enough to power 10,000 average homes for a year and will offset more than 225 million pounds of carbon dioxide that a traditional coal-burning power plant

BWD Computers opens downtown BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Downtown Thomasville welcomed another resident Wednesday afternoon at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Joined by Mayor Joe Bennett and several members of city council, Jay Browning officially opened BWD Computers at 5 J.W. Thomas Way, putting another new business into an empty building. “This is another example of a business that has got confidence in coming and staying in downtown,” Bennett said.
“With the market for computers, maintenance and technology, we need folks like this to help those of us who aren’t that smart.” BWD Computers will service all forms of computer software and also will be a place where people can go to purchase a new system. What separates BWD Computers from other businesses is that there will be no charge for an initial prognosis. Once a problem is detected, it will be up to the customer to go ahead with any repairs. Customers can also sell used computers that

will be refurbished and put back in stock at a discounted price. “I had been looking for something like this to do,” said Browning. “We do anything related to computers. With the state the economy is in now, we’re not charging people anything to look at their computer. We will look at it for absolutely free. A lot of shops charge as much as $45 just to look at it. Once you spend the money to have it looked at, you realize it’s not worth fixing and you’re pretty

FOCUS Nesbitt returns from tour of duty in Afghanistan TIMES STAFF REPORT
Army Sgt. Travis D. Nesbitt has returned to Fort Richardson, Anchorage, Alaska after being deployed to Afghanistan for one year. The soldier is one of 3,500 members of the 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division stationed at Fort Richardson. Airborne combat team members included soldiers assigned to one of six battalions and regiments of the 25th Infantry Division. The airborne brigade served in three eastern provinces of Afghanistan, which included the Paktya, Paktika and Khost. Some of the challenges the brigade soldiers faced included poverty, unemployment, security, and management of natural resources and government institutions. Soldiers improved roads, provided vocational training in construction and civics, improved and reopened 29 schools, remodeled six medical clinics and improved three district courthouses. Nesbitt, a food service specialist, is assigned to the 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment. He has seven years of military service. He is the son of Matthew Nesbitt, and Edna Mae Nesbitt, both of Thomasville, N.C. His wife, Juana, is the daughter of David Gonzalez, and Guadalupe Gonzalez, both of San Antonio, Texas. The sergeant is a 2002 graduate of Thomasville High School.
‘Snapshot in Time’ Picture of 1910 First Grade in Chair City School found Editor’s Note: The following story was published in the High Point Enterprise on April 21, 1957. It was written by former staff writer Ed Lane. The original photo and article recently was submitted to the Times by Neil Manack of Columbus, Ohio, whose grandfather, William Percy Tudor, was pictured in the photo. Also, the word “nee,� which can be found in the ninth graph of the article, is French for “born.� It was a common journalistic term used at the time to refer to a woman’s maiden name. Miss Lillian Yow, no doubt, wondered what would become of the first grade class she had in one of Thomasville’s first school buildings nearly half a century ago. A picture of the 1910 primary class was discovered recently and handed to Eugene (Chick) Green, a member of the class. The immediate problem was identifying the boys and girls in one of Miss Yow’s first classes. In addition to finding out who the boys and girls were, there was also considerable curiosity to find out what had become of the youngsters of 47 years ago. After pounding the streets for a couple of weeks and making a number of telephone calls, Green was able to identify all except one. “Miss Lillian� as Miss Yow was know in Thomasville and to the thousands of school pupils who attended her classes, and who is credited with the longest teaching career in the history of Thomasville’s public schools, is today living with her sister, Mrs. Water Abernathy, Cephyr Hills, Asheville.

County Civitan honor local clergy TIMES STAFF REPORT
The Davidson County Civitan Club honored seven local pastors February 23 at their seventh annual Clergy Appreciation Observance. The event included a dinner at Beulah United Church of Christ in Welcome. Among the honored guests was The Reverend Bob Floyd, who has served at North Lexington Baptist for 35 years of his 40-year career. Also from North Lexington Baptist Church was Rev. Gavin Pratt. The Reverend James Cooper and his wife, Ina, are retired from the Denton Church of God. They have been married 60 years and have served the residents of Mountain Vista Health Park in Denton for 30 years. Rev. Cooper has been a minister for 53 years. Other honorees were the Rev. Ed Armfield of Cotton Grove United Methodist Church, Pastor Ivory Roseboro of Saint Delight Church in Winston-Salem, Pastor Gloria Cross from On The Wings Of A Dove and the Rev. David Purdy of Beulah UCC. Donna Smith was the featured speaker sharing
some personal family stories that she has written. Smith writes a monthly religion column for THE DISPATCH of Lexington and has published a book containing many of her columns. Smith teaches at Southwood Elementary School. Civitan Lieutenant Governor Howard Stone of Thomasville presented the story of The Four Chaplains. Heroics by the chaplains inspired Civitan International Clergy Observances around the world. On February 3, 1943, a total of about 678 men lost their lives out of around 904 on board the U.S.A.T. DORCHESTER when it was hit by two torpedoes and sunk off the coast of Greenland during World War II. Four clergymen-a Catholic Priest, a Rabbi and two Protestants, went down with their troop transport ship after giving up their life jackets to soldiers who had left their vests below deck in the scramble to evacuate. Survivors stated that the chaplains stood with arms linked together, braced against the railing reciting “The Lord’s Prayer� and singing as the ship sank. “The Four Chaplains Medal,�
considered equal to the Medal of Honor, was established by Congress in 1960 and presented to the families of the chaplains in January 1961 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Hundreds of Civitan clubs around the world participate annually in International Clergy Appreciation Observances honoring ministers of all faiths and denominations. The local ministers received a gift in recognition of their service to the community from the Civitan Club. They each received a fleece lap quilt, Claxton Fruit Cake and handmade items from the High School 1 class at Stoner-Thomas School. President Teresa Shaw conducted the meeting attended by 54s people.
Chaplain Anna Louvet gave the invocation and President-Elect Stacey Wright introduced the honored guests. Sergeant-At-Arms Artanis Shaw led the Pledge of Allegiance to Flag. Cindy Armfield arranged for the speaker and introduced Smith. Ray Baity, accompanied by his wife Jane on the piano, rendered the gospel song “He Hideth My Soul.� A dozen members of the Fellowship Class of Beulah UCC prepared and served the meal. Civitan is a worldwide service organization dedicated to community service with an emphasis on assisting people with disabilities. The Davidson County Civitan Club meets the 4th Tuesday of each month and has 57 members.

Registration will be held following each session. Classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning March 16 and ending May 4, from 6 until 9 p.m. Three Saturday sessions will also be
scheduled. Development of the new program was in direct response to requests from families faced with providing home care for their elderly or disabled loved ones. Course topics will include communication, infection control, safety and emergency procedures, personal care and grooming, and legal and ethical issues. “We want to help these caregivers understand and feel comfortable helping the client with daily life,� said Rose McDaniel, assistant dean of the DCCC School of Health, Wellness and Public Safety. No state licensing is offered, but a certificate of completion will be awarded. Clinical handson training will be included in coursework.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor To all of those who called, visited, emailed, texted, or wrote in to express their concerns about my unscheduled visit to High Point Regional recently, I am pleased to report that I am feeling great and back at work. I want to publicly thank High Point Rotary Club, High Point Country Club, Guilford County EMS personnel, and the entire medical team at High Point Regional Hospital for their care and concern after I fainted. While I was being treated, I kept thanking everyone for all of the special attention I was receiving — and to a person — they kept reminding me that everyone receives the same level of care. What that reinforced in me is that we are lucky to live in such a special place with caring and dedicated professionals throughout our community. Again, thank you to all who expressed their concern for my well-being. Howard Coble Member of Congress
To the Editor On behalf of the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life of Davidson County, we would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the Creasey family and to all the volunteers who helped make the “Extreme Walk Through Tours” a success. Volunteers are the heart of the American Cancer Society and are what make our organization so remarkable in the fight against cancer. Thank you, to the Relay For Life Committee — Sherry McBride (accounting chair of Relay For Life), Carolina Cancer Services, Robyn Dezego and once again our Relay family … The Creaseys! It was great to partner with Carolina Cancer Services on this project. It’s was great to see two cancer organizations come together and serve the community of Davidson County. In a nation where more than one million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year, Davidson County is inviting you to celebrate life at our Annual Relay For Life event held on May 21-22, 2010, at Thomasville High School. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a unique fund raising event in which teams of participants take turns walking the track overnight in an effort to fight cancer. Teams campout, eat and play games. The message of the event is cancer can be conquered. This year’s theme is “Hero’s Of Hope” in honor of Tricia Creasey. Mrs. Creasey is our Survivorship Chairman of the Relay For Life and invites all cancer survivors to come and support Relay through participating in the Survivor Lap at the event. This emotional lap honors the courage of all who
have defeated cancer. All survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer) all walk the opening lap — unified in victory and in hope. The atmosphere of Relay For Life is one of camaraderie and celebration, providing an opportunity for cancer survivors to pass the torch of hope on to those still battling cancer or those that might be touched by cancer in the future. If you are a cancer survivor, a local business, a church, or family and would like to take part in the Relay For Life of Davidson County, please call your American Cancer Society at (336) 404-8965. For more information on cancer, call the American Cancer Society at (800) ACS-2345, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or visit www.cancer.org. Jami Myers American Cancer Society
To the Editor Go Storm! We want to congratulate the Davidson County Community College men’s basketball team — the Storm — on winning the NJCAA Division III Region 10 Championship Tournament Feb. 27 in Brinkley Gym. The team will be back in the gym Saturday, March 6, at 3 p.m., playing for the District 7 Championship against Montgomery College-Germantown of Maryland; the winning team will play for the national championship title in Delhi, New York, March 11-13. In January, we were both privileged to watch this team’s dramatic win over the UNC Junior Varsity team, previously unbeaten for the season. At the StormWatch viewing party in the new DCCC Conference Center, where the spillover crowd gathered because Brinkley Gym was sold out, we witnessed the Storm beat Carolina 101-69. It was a proud moment for the entire community, just as it was when the DCCC Storm women’s volleyball team also vied for the national championship in Minnesota in 2009. Sports championships make us proud, and we are so glad that athletics have attracted additional attention to DCCC and given students extra opportunities outside the classroom. But what makes us even more proud is the college itself and the way it is growing and changing to meet new needs. DCCC is the community’s college, and sports are just one more way that we can cheer on this college, its students, and our community. If you’re not already a Storm fan, we hope you will become one soon! J. Larry Link Lexington Don Clinard Thomasville
Voyeurism dressed as a public service VIEWPOINT
MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist It’s none of my business what Barack Obama’s LDL cholesterol level is. And I don’t have to know that he is using nicotine therapy to attempt to kick his smoking habit. But all of this and more is dutifully passed along after the president’s annual physical. Want to know his resting heart rate? It’s available. And we’re told that President Obama has been instructed by his physicians to “eat healthier” and “moderate his alcohol intake.” What to make of this annual invasion of privacy? We’ve been privy to similar details about other presidents — sometimes to an excruciating degree (President Carter revealed his troubles with hemorrhoids). In part, this may be a response to President Eisenhower’s 1955 heart attack. Treatment was less sophisticated then, and the president spent seven weeks in the hospital. That was discomfiting enough, but with the advent of nuclear weapons, the Cold War, and the “football,” anxiety about a possibly debilitated president led to passage of the 25th amendment to the Constitution, which provided for the smooth transition of power in the event the sitting president should die or become incapacitated. But a Cold War sensitivity

to the president’s health is not the whole explanation for our current fetish for private health information. After all, Bill Clinton’s refusal to release his medical records didn’t undermine confidence in his ability to fulfill his term. So something else is going on. Surely, it’s one part voyeurism. They dress it up as a public service but it’s gossip all the same. Whenever a public figure undergoes a medical test or surgery, we get minute-by-minute updates on his condition and full-color graphics of the affected part of the poor sop’s body. When former president Clinton checked into an N.Y. hospital to have a stent placed in one of his arteries, CNN and the other cable channels were ready with easels and experts to walk us through it as if each of us were a family member. It was the same when Dick Cheney suffered a recent heart attack. Concern for even the smallest details of a person’s health is the proper realm of family and close friends, don’t you think? To broadcast your stent operation or upper GI series or whatever on MSNBC is undignified — or what the 18th century would probably have called too “familiar.” Besides, there lurks beneath all of this professed concern another sentiment — less noble. In the case of Cheney, several news types expressed the “hope” that the former vice president was sticking to his diet and exercise regimen. When Clinton became ill, the AP reminded us of his eating habits: “Clinton’s legend as a voracious and unhealthy eater was sealed in 1992, when the newly minted presidential candidate took reporters on jogs

to McDonald’s. He liked hamburgers, steaks, French fries — lots of them — and was a sloppy eater who could gobble an apple (core and all) in two bites and ask for more.” It surfaces again and again — a bossy smugness about other people’s health. We have arrived at a cultural moment when no one would dream of waxing judgmental about your sexual life or your manners, but we feel free to place you in metaphorical stocks for offenses against health. To prove yourself, show us your HDL-to-LDL ratio! The busybodies who ask about the health habits of prominent people must imagine that they are performing a public service of some sort. Don’t we hear incessantly about the crisis of obesity and sedentary habits? But while it makes sense to encourage the society as a whole to curb its outsize appetite for red meat, fried potatoes, and sugary sodas, it’s hardly fair to single out individuals for scolding. In the first place, it’s none of our business. And secondly, it’s completely unfair. Nature is unpredictable. Some who exercise and eat a low-fat diet nevertheless have high cholesterol levels. And the reverse is often true as well. But finally, it comes down to this: We are mortal. We sicken and die. This is a problem that not even Barack Obama claimed to be able to solve. Ailing people need sympathy and support. But Americans have veered awfully close to treating illness as a character flaw.

FROM PAGE 1 SOLAR From page 1 would have emitted. With an estimated cost of about $173 million, the farm’s construction is a result of a request for proposals, or RFP, that Duke Energy made in April 2007 — the first of its kind designed for potential renewable providers in North Carolina, according to Duke Energy. Part of the company’s motivation to buy the farm’s energy output stems from preparation for the new North Carolina renewable portfolio standard, which will require utilities to have 12.5 percent of their generation from renewable sources by 2021, Walls said. The other aspect comes from a clamoring from customers for an increase in renewable energy sources. “Right now we primarily use coal and fire generation, nuclear generation, some natural gas generation,” Walls said. “We’re adding renewable solar generation to that mix.” Solar energy brings a host of benefits to Duke Energy consumers. According to SunEdison, solar farms can be installed faster than other traditional power plants, are more reliable long-term and allow local production of energy, reducing the need for high-voltage transmission lines. From
CHARGED From page 1 vid Grice said. “We just did our end over here due to our jurisdiction. We didn’t conduct the initial investigation.” On Jan. 7, the Davie County Sheriff ’s Office received a report that an employee of DCHS solicited a high school student. During the investigation, Davie County detectives determined that there was an issue with child pornography possibly being on Sidden’s home computer. The information was passed on to Davidson County Sheriff ’s detectives due to Sidden’s residence. DCSO detectives received the information on Feb. 2 and obtained a search warrant for the content of the computers and other digital media belonging to Sidden. Detectives, as part of the Piedmont Internet Crimes Against Children (PICAC), allege that Sidden did have child pornography images on those computers. “Apparently he was downloading images off the Internet,” said Grice. “I don’t know what the nature of the images were.” Sidden was released from custody after being issued a $5,000 secured bond. He is scheduled
an environmental standpoint, solar farms are clean and quiet, using little water and offsetting the carbon dioxide pollution of traditional power plants. “Bringing solar or any renewables into our energy mix certainly helps to provide our customers with reliable and clean electricity,” Walls said. As Duke Energy turns more and more to renewable sources, Walls said that the company remains aware of managing costs for consumers. However, he added that with renewable energy technology, costs can be high. “Costs might go up,” Walls said. “As we add additional renewable generation, those costs are passed along to our customers.” Another downside of the solar energy is that it is intermittent in nature. “There is no one solution to how we’re going to meet the evolution of the next energy economy,” Walls said. “You only get the maximal potential when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. We really look at how we provide electricity in a holistic way. It really takes all forms of generation for us to meet the growing needs of our customers.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576, or newsdesk@tvilletimes.com
to appear in Davidson County District Court on April 12. Sidden was not charged with solicitation of a minor by the Davie County Sheriff ’s Office, who stated in a press release that their original investigation is concluded, determining that “the allegations did not rise to the level of criminal charges being filed.” Sidden has been suspended with pay while Davie County Schools conducts its own investigation. He has been at DCHS since 2008. Sidden’s arrest marked the third such incident in Davie County Schools. In January, Eric Reeder, a English teacher at Davie County Early College High School, was arrested in Winston-Salem for allegedly peeping into a bathroom stall at a Barnes and Noble bookstore. In December, Douglas Ebersback, a William Ellis Middle School teacher, was charged with two counts of statutory rape, four counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of indecent liberties with a minor and one count of breaking and entering.

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future. There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA. Call today to schedule an appointment to learn more. We’ll discuss your retirement goals to help determine if a Roth IRA makes sense for you. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice.

Davidson County Community College should have a pretty good vibe going into Saturday’s Region 7 District Championship g a m e w i t h M o n t gomery CollegeGer manRidge t o w n (Md.). After all, every goal the team set before the season began has come to fruition. Goal No. 1 was to get better every day, which has obviously been accomplished with the Storm having won 20 straight. Next on the list was to win 20-plus games — check. Then the goal was to win the Region X conference regular season championship and the regional tournament — check again. Davidson has already accomplished more this season than any of the previous two DCCC teams, but are not satisfied, and there just happens to be two more goals left to accomplish — winning the district game and going to the national tournament in Delhi, NY. Sitting 28-4 on the season, it appears the Storm are saving their best basketball for the end. Coach Matt Ridge at least hopes

Tar Heel seniors go out with win BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — Before each senior night, North Carolina coach Roy Williams points to each underclassmen in the locker room and tells them it is their responsibility to make sure the seniors go out on a high note. But Tuesday’s game
against Miami went a little differently. “I put pressure on the underclassmen to take care of the older guys, and today the older guys took care of themselves,” Williams said. Fifth-year senior Marcus Ginyard recorded his first double-double in a Tar Heel uniform — 12 points and 12 rebounds — and senior

Deon Thompson added 14 points, despite playing just 24 minutes because of a back injury, to lead UNC past Miami 69-62 at the Smith Center for the 2,000th win in the program’s history. UNC is just the second school to reach 2,000 wins as Kentucky became the first to reach the milestone on Dec. 21, 2009.
COMING NEXT WEEK
The victory also guaranteed that the Tar Heels (16-14, 5-10 ACC) will finish the regular season above .500 overall, and they still have a shot at an NIT berth. It was the first time UNC has won back-toback games since beating Rutgers on Dec. 28 and Albany on Dec. 30.

For the first time, DCCC’s District Championship game with Montgomery College-Germanton (Md.) will be available live via streaming video on the College website at www.davidsonccc.edu. A Storm athletic logo icon will appear on the home page shortly before the scheduled 3 p.m. tipoff. Viewers should click on the icon to view game action live. It will be ac-
cessible throughout the game. “We are excited to offer this opportunity to view the game for fans unable to attend in person,” said Storm Athletic Director Kenneth Kirk. “However, we encourage supporters to pack Brinkley Gym and cheer the Storm to another victory and the possibility for our first trip to the national tournament.” There is no admission charge.
It seems ironic that as NASCAR is preparing to race at perhaps its most modern, contemporary track of all — Las Vegas Motor Speedway — one of the most significant events that occurred in the sport during the week leading up to the race focused not on the NASCAR’s present, but on its past. On Wednesday, Feb. 24, 73-year-old J.C. Elder — “Suitcase Jake” — passed away. Newer NASCAR fans may not know much, if anything, about Suitcase Jake Elder. In the days before celebrity crew chiefs like Chad Knaus and Greg Zipadelli were representing their team sponsors in national television commercials, Elder was hunkered down in America’s garages, interacting with a chassis rather than a camera lens. His third-grade education might not have allowed for much of a detailed explanation about NASCAR telemetry; Rusty Wallace once described his tool box as being filled with “so much prehistoric stuff that it was unreal.” Elder ground out speed the old-fashioned way, by getting his hands dirty. And he was very, very good at it. The long list of drivers he helped get to Victory Lane includes Darrell Waltrip, Fred Lorenzen, Benny Parsons. He was Mario Andretti’s crew chief when Andretti won the 1967 Daytona 500, and David Pearson’s crew chief when the “Silver Fox” — NASCAR does love its nicknames — won back to back Sprint Cup Series championships in 1968 and ‘69. The man who acquired his nickname thanks to a reputation for being somewhat of a NASCAR job hopper also worked with Dale Earnhardt for a while, helping “The Intimidator” win NASCAR Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year honors in 1979. In fact, his character was even featured briefly in the 2004 ESPN original movie “3: The Dale Earnhardt Story.” The famous names the sport is built on were propped up, gassed up and sped up by Suitcase Jake Elder.

Discovering NIE
Newspapers at School Do you read a newspaper every day? You might read the comics for a laugh, or you might want to check sports scores to find out how your favorite teams are doing. Your teacher may use the newspaper in your classroom. With the paper, he or she may teach about events going on in the world (social studies), using ads and coupons to plan a budget (math), or good writing skills (English). Newspapers are an important part of a community. They give us information about things going on around us, provide ways for businesses to advertise their goods and services, and let citizens voice their opinions about issues affecting the area. This week, The Mini Page recognizes Newspapers in Education Week (March 1-5) with an issue about this important group.
A paper in your tool belt Jill said the newspaper has always been a great research tool for students. “It’s not so important anymore to just memorize facts, but to use them to relate to your own life,� she said. Newspapers help you do that. In a newspaper article, the writer and editor have: s gathered the information, s evaluated what’s most important, and s edited the story so that those points can be shared with the reader.
A new way to read There are hundreds of newspapers all across the United States. Some have been in business for more than a century. Today, besides the print edition of the newspaper that many of us are used to, some publishers offer a new way to read the paper: the electronic edition, or e-edition. The Mini Page talked with Jill Armstrong, youth content editor at The Denver Post, about how her paper’s NIE program works.
Keeping events more current “The e-edition gives students more context, or background about the story. They can see how the story has evolved by easily looking back at previous days’ editions,� Jill said. Some facts you find in newspapers are more current, or recent, than even the newest textbooks. For instance, science changes so fast that books can’t always keep up.

NAA Foundation Newspapers in Education, or NIE, is supported by the Newspaper Association of America Foundation. The Foundation works to help students do well in school through newspaper readership. It also teaches the importance of the First Amendment (Americans’ right to free speech and freedom of the press). NIE started in the 1930s in just a few cities, when newspapers began delivering copies to schools for use in classrooms.

Supersport: Dirk Nowitzki Height: 7-0 Weight: 245
Birthdate: 6-19-78 Hometown: Wurzburg, Germany
Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki is one of those 3-D basketball players — dependable, dazzling and deadly. In 10-plus NBA seasons, the 7-foot forward has averaged more than 20 points per game each year. He can score inside or step out on the perimeter and pop in three-point shots. In mid-January this season, he was doing his usual Dirk deeds — scoring almost 23 points per game and hauling down 8.5 rebounds a night. Nowitzki comes from an athletic family. Father Joerg was a handball player, mother Helen competed in basketball for the German national team, and sister Silke works in television for NBA International. Along the way, Nowitzki has developed other interests as well, such as reading and playing the saxophone.
What’s In It for Me? Do you get a newspaper delivered to your home? You might think it’s just for your parents or other adults. But the paper is full of information and entertainment for kids, too. For 2010, NIE has chosen five areas where newspapers can help students learn. Let’s take a look at these important subjects.
Financial literacy Finances means money or other resources for a person or business. Even young kids can understand saving money for a special toy or giving money to help people who are less fortunate. The newspaper can show kids how good money habits can help people avoid problems, such as losing their homes. Ads and coupons can help kids figure out the difference between things you need and things you want.
Nutrition
Character education
Many newspapers have a section about food, cooking and eating out. You might help your family find recipes for dishes with healthy ingredients. You can learn how good food choices, such as fruits and vegetables, and good habits, such as exercising and drinking water, can keep you healthy.
Good character, or being a good person, means something a little bit different to everyone. It’s easy to find examples of good character in the newspaper, though. Look for articles about people being responsible, caring for others, cooperating with others and being honest.
The environment Our planet has been in the news a lot lately. Scientists and politicians are trying to find ways for us to be kinder to the Earth. Have you read about the environment in the newspaper? Articles in the paper may help you decide how you want to help the environment. You might decide to volunteer, recycle or donate money.
Information technology As we use new technologies, such as texting and blogs, we have to learn how to be responsible and careful. Newspapers offer up-to-date explanations of new technologies. They show us how important it is to protect ourselves when we’re communicating with others online or over a cell phone. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick

Why Read the Paper? These kids use The Mini Page as part of the NIE program at their school. Their teacher uses both print and electronic editions of the newspaper as part of her lessons.
Good for kids Jill Armstrong of The Denver Post said studies show that kids who read newspapers earn higher test scores. They also learn how to apply, or use, the skills they’re gaining at school in their life.
Good for papers Kids who read newspapers in school are more likely to be readers as adults. They may one day subscribe to, or order, a newspaper to read on a regular basis. 2EPORTERS AT NEWSPAPERS FOLLOW government and businesses and try to show the public if something important or illegal is going on. Newspaper readers are more involved in their community and are participating in a critical part of our democracy.
Good for teachers
Lessons from newspapers
The Mini Page spoke with a public school teacher in Denver, Colo., about how newspapers help teachers. She said some of her younger students aren’t very familiar with the newspaper until they use one at school. “Then they start to look outside their own community and know about other people,� she said. “They get excited about the things they find in the newspaper.�
NIE programs in different cities might provide lesson ideas and extra materials, such as The Mini Page, to teachers. Has your teacher used the newspaper to help with a lesson? For younger students, teachers might: s HAVE KIDS CUT OUT NUMBERS FROM newspaper ads and paste them in the right order. s ASK KIDS TO FIND THE WEATHER report in the newspaper. Each child picks a city, then finds out what tomorrow’s temperature will be for that city. Older kids can: s LOOK FOR ARTICLES ABOUT CERTAIN issues in the news, read the article, then write a paragraph about it. s READ ARTICLES AS A GROUP THEN discuss what they learned from the story. The Mini Page thanks Jill Armstrong, youth content editor for The Denver Post, and teacher Rachel Chappell of the Denver public school system for help with this issue.

SPORTS SPORTS From page 7 lor, who is averaging 16.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. DCCCs tallest player stands at 6-5, but the Storm do have three players at their disposal to bang down low with Taylor. “We have got to limit his touches and if he does get it, we need to double down on him,� Ridge said. “We are going to mix it up with our defenses, but regardless of what defense we play, he is going to be a handful. We cannot take one second off of one possession, because he is extremely talented.� Like the Gryphons (218), the Storm have four players averaging double figures led by high-flying guard Justin Glover’s 19 points a game. Davidson is averaging nearly 99 points in its last seven contests, so scoring has not been a problem. If they can figure out a way to keep Montgomery’s guards in front and disrupt Taylor in the post, a trip up north could be on the way. “We are going to be ready and excited, and hopefully we can get off to a good start and our fans can provide an environment that will make it difficult on our opponent,� said Ridge.

an indelible impression, and will not be forgotten. NASCAR honors its history. It also celebrates its future. Even as tears fell for one of the most successful and respected crew chiefs in stock car racing history, eyes lit up in another part of the country, on the very same day, as Carl Edwards and his wife Kate welcomed 8 lb., 4 oz. Anne Katherine Edwards into the world. In a single day, NASCAR lost a piece of its past, and gained a part of its future. What a poignant, albeit bittersweet, example of the way the world renews itself. The Edwards’ baby’s story is yet to be written. I’m sure we’ll be seeing her at pre-race ceremonies, and maybe even in Victory Lane, before the end of the season. Maybe she’ll be the CEO of “Backflip Motorsports� someday, in the tradition of Kelley Earnhardt. She could become a doctor like her mom, or — I say this with my fingers crossed — a race car driver like her dad. We just don’t know. But we do know this. She is part of the NASCAR community now, and fittingly, she has gotten off to a great start, with a nickname of her own — “Annie.� A flight of fancy it may be, but still it is nice to imagine that the spirits of Annie Edwards and Suitcase Jake Elder may have nodded to one another as they passed on February 24. As one bade its final farewell to the NASCAR family and the other said hello for the very first time, perhaps they both smiled to think that on this momentous day, the circle of life was an oval.

LYT From page 1
Because LYT doesn’t associate itself with any one school in particular, it gathers kids from all over the county. Everhart, for example, attends Brown Elementary, while Shaver goes to Ledford High School. Thomasville resident Chad Aboukaram, who plays Horton in the show and attends East Davidson High School, said he enjoys that aspect of the theater group. “They’re all these talented kids from all over,” he said. “The community all comes together to do what we love.” One of the more unique things about LYT is that not only does it combine kids from across the county, but it only casts actors less than 18 years old. “We have just been completely committed to the fact that this is going to be youth-only and there’s only going to be youth in the shows,” Drake said. “It gives the kids the opportunity to learn responsibility and to improve their talents in acting.” While many of LYT’s productions cater more to an older acting crew with a range of difficult songs and challenging roles — Seussical the Musical among them — Drake said the group has full confidence in its actors. “We believe our kids are really talented, all of them are really talented, and we like to showcase that,” she said. “We’ve got kids that can do it.” Though the kids themselves shy away from the spotlight at first, Jarrett said they all rise to the occasion, helping each other to reach success. “You always have these kids who come in for auditions who are so scared,” Jarrett said. “But when they get on that stage, they just shine. Everyone wants to be the lead role, but they overcome

That’s something we’re going to do to help some folks out.” In addition to BWD Computers, Browning, who ran for city council last year, also announced the launching of Thomasvilleradio.com, a local Internet broadcast that will feature daily conversations about what is going on in the Chair City. Browning said a weekly newsletter is also in the works and should be ready in the next six months. The newsletter will feature stories about “uptown” events as well as other lighter topics like conspiracy theories. “This will be really be geared towards uptown and what it has to offer,” Zack Rickard, Browning’s partner who recently opened up the Greyhound Lounge, said. “Whatever money we make will be put towards opening other businesses. We want to keep this ball rolling until we get all these buildings filled.” For more information on BWD Computers or Thomasvilleradio.com, call Browning at 4727723.
