On the Cutting Edge Businessman calls on state to help small companies

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Rod Lambeth wears his heart on his sleeve. Don’t ask him a question and not expect to hear exactly what’s on his mind. When the chance came for Lambeth to express his concerns to the N.C. House Select Committee on Small Business last week at Davidson County Community College, the “old school” furniture maker made it clear that others like him are not getting the help from the state they need in order to survive the economic recession. “Sawdust runs in my blood and Thomasville is part of it,” Lambeth told the committee. “We’re going to be here and we’re gong to build it in the USA, and dammit we’re going to win yet. I will say that in my years and my family’s years, I’ve never asked for a handout. We don’t want anything for nothing. We want the ability to get a leg up to get to the next step.” In a time when furniture jobs were leaving North Carolina, Lambeth stepped in and tried to save as many as he could. In 2001, Lam-

Two years ago, Lambeth took over Carter Furniture, a Salisbury manufacturer who fell victim to the market downturn. In an effort to keep people working, Lambeth moved both companies into his home facility at 201 E. Holly Hill Road, where an estimated 80 employees now work. “I am a true family business,” said Lambeth. “I know my employees. I know

their children and where they go to school. If they can’t pay the electric bill, we find ways to make it happen. Their benefits are slashed to the bone, but employees chose to take cuts instead of laying off a bunch of people.” Lambeth contributes the deterioration of the furniture industry to lack of vision. Lambeth’s family started building furniture in the Chair City in 1901, and for the next five decades were one of the largest manufacturers in the country.

Staff Writer An already historic unemployment rate in Davidson County reached another milestone in January. According to the latest statistics released by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission Friday, Davidson County’s unemployment rate climbed to 14.2 percent in January, a hike of .8 percent from the end of last year. “The current economy continues to influence nearly every major job sector, mainly manufacturing and construction,” ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said. “In our local employment offices, we see, as well, the impact on our citizens.” Davidson County was one of 99 out of the state’s 100 counties that saw an increase in unemployment as North Carolina tries to rebound from the national recession. In the past two years, unemployment in the county has more than doubled, going from 6.0 percent in 2008 to the current rate of 14.2. The unemployment rate a year ago was 11.8 percent.

Males Only Club ﬁnds way to gives back to community BY ERIN WILTGEN

Staff Writer

As the furniture landscape began to change, manufacturers failed to keep up with the times. “From a woodworking standpoint, we’re archaic,” Lambeth said. “The furniture industry left this part of the country for three reasons — old factories, old thought processes and lack of funding for technology.” This is where Lambeth wants the state to start helping small businesses. He recently invested $150,000 in

In a time where much is being taken away, Lexington High School students are trying to give back. The Lexington High School Males Only Club, a leadership and service program for Lexington High boys, will join with a similar group at Appalachian State University. The young men will then travel to Thomasville to serve hamburgers and hot dogs to the homeless today from noon to 1 p.m. at Cooperative Community Ministry. The food was donated by the owner of 11 Lexington Wendy’s franchises. “It’s young boys doing something positive,” said Donnie Holt, a retired educator and leader of the Lexington group. Holt anticipates about 10 to 12 boys from Lexington and around 17 from Appalachian State’s club, Minority Men Leadership Circle,

a member of which used to be president for the Lexington club. “We’re going to come help set up and talk to the people, giving them hope to stick with it,” Holt said. Although Holt says they originally planned to do the service project in Lexington, they later switched to Thomasville — partly because it’s Holt’s home town. “I was born and raised here, and that’s a way for me to give back to my own community,” he said. “This community has given so much for me. I thought this was just an excellent opportunity to do this in Thomasville.” Holt also hopes that the mingling of the two groups will give the college men a chance to mentor his boys. “They’ll bond a little bit hopefully when they do the food to feed the homeless,” The students from Appalachian State will meet the Males Only Club at Lexington High.

What’s Inside

With the economy still lagging and unemployment rates spiking, programs all across the board have seen major budget and funding cuts. This restriction in funds has put an especially hard burden on non-profit organizations, which operate solely on donations from organizations and individuals. Meals on Wheels of Thomasville, Inc. — a local chapter of a national United Way organization — has seen its share of hard times. The program serves hot meals once a day, five days a week to about 100 individuals in Thomasville who don’t have the means to get food themselves. But this year, WANT TO HELP the funds have come in short. “Either we To volunteer, come up with a different way to contact Agnes raise the money, Farthing at 475or we’re not go- 3447, Elsie Gregg ing to be able to at 474-4215 or feed those 100 people,” said Becky Kearns at Misti Boles Whit- 472-9325. man, a member To donate, call of the board of directors and le- 476-3158 or email gal counsel for jjmoore@norththe organization. state.net. Started in 1983, Meals on Wheels of Thomasville gets the meals — typically including juice, fruit, vegetable, sandwich or main course and dessert — from Thomasville Medical Center and Piedmont Crossing. Nutritionists at both locations pick out the meals to ensure the recipients get healthy food. Though the Medical Center and Piedmont Crossing had to raise the cost of the meals by 25 cents last year, Whitman said the two organizations have worked hard to keep the costs down. “They’re charging us not really enough for these meals,” she said. It costs Meals on Wheels $715 to feed an individual for one year, making the

How to live below your means ADVICE

MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist

I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a radical new idea, although a popular womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine declared recently that living below your means, or LBYM, is the hot new trend. It is a simple concept: to spend less than you earn. Still, LBYM is seen by many as a life sentence, not the lifesaver that it is. It can take a crisis, such as unemployment or a sudden illness, to reveal to some people just how far in over their heads they really are. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when a lifesaver looks really good. Your household is like a business. You have revenue and expenses. If you spend more than you bring in, you will take on debt. A business that continually takes on debt will eventually fail. It is a healthy company that ends the year not just breaking even, but with money in the bank. Same at home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LBYM. A commitment to LBYM should not be taken lightly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal, particularly if you have come to see credit as an extension of your income.

Smith returns from tour in Afghanistan

If you ever have flown on a jetliner, you have survived a â&#x20AC;&#x153;controlled crash,â&#x20AC;? also known as landing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no pilot, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read how much control is required to take a piece of machinery that weighs many tons going at a speed of 600 miles per hour and bring it to a full and complete stop precisely at the gate cited on that monitor inside the terminal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverse thrust,â&#x20AC;? and depending on the length of the runway, that braking sensation can be an interesting experience. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re belted in for good reason. Thankfully, those systems work thousands of times every day.

ASK YOURSELF â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can I afford it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I really need it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I need it now? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I have something like it already? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can I find a cheaper substitute? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Is this the best deal? If you struggle with living beyond your means, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been spending at a rate of about 600 miles per hour, metaphorically speaking. Things are out of control. You need to bring your spending problem to a halt by making a serious commitment to stop living beyond your means. For the next 30 days, track your spending.

Write down everything, from that cup of coffee to your rent or mortgage payment. At first, it will feel as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just reversed your engines, that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to be thrown on your head. Once you get your bearings, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready to start the important work of plugging up all the places from which money is leaking out of your life. One of the best ways to plug those money leaks is to start talking to yourself. Whenever you are faced with a desire to spend, stop long enough to ask yourself: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can I afford it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I really need it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I need it now? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do I have something like it already? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can I find a cheaper substitute? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Is this the best deal? If you make it through all six questions, go home and sleep on it. Tomorrow you probably will change your mind. If not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the confidence you need to make the best decision.

Old favorite moves to new location Ribbon cutting held for Gordon’s Furniture BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer David Gordon doesn’t believe in bad days. As the owner of Gordon’s Furniture, a company that has called Thomasville home for more than half a century, Gordon feels that some days are simply better than others. Friday was one of those days. Accompanied by dozens of the Chair City’s finest, Gordon’s Furniture held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its move into its new location at 805 Randolph St., culminating three years of planning and hard work that hopes to keep the local company in Thomasville for another half century. “We have a lot of confidence in Thomasville and the surrounding area,” Gordon said. “We’re going to be fine. Our customers have been with us for years. We see their sons and grandsons, and we’re fortunate to have them. We hope to be here for a long time to come.” It’s no secret that the furniture industry has been one the hardest hit in the country, with job losses reaching in the thousands, leaving a slew of empty buildings in the national recession’s wake. Gordon didn’t see hard times as a moment

I remember in 1973 when we couldn’t get any gas, so we couldn’t heat our building or deliver furniture the way we wanted. We got through that and we’ll get through this.” Three years ago, with their old building showing its age, Gordon set out to find a new location for his business, one with more floor space, an updated interior and more customer-friendly. The old Holton Furniture proved a perfect spot as the building was already set up for Gordon’s needs. “They are sending the

message that they’ve been here for 55 years and plan to be here for 55 more,” Mayor Joe Bennett said. “They’ve invested in the city and the signal is that they feel confident in Thomasville and that the economy will come around.” Nothing will change in terms of what Gordon’s Furniture offer. Customers can still find quality furniture, including beds, sofas, tables and chairs, as well as highdefinition TVs. Gordon says his reputation is ev-

erything, and in 25 years with the Better Business Bureau, his company has never had one complaint, a rarity in the furniture business. “You just don’t give up,” said Gordon. “No matter how hard times are you continue on and have a good attitude. You have to feel good about things. If you keep a positive attitude, you can succeed in anything. It’s not your surroundings or what you do, it’s how you perceive it.” Gordon’s father start-

ed the business 55 years ago and his son Lance is becoming a fixture of his own. By keeping his customers first and his reputation clean, the 74year-old has managed to keep Gordon’s Furniture viable amidst a terrible economic climate. If Gordon’s Furniture continues weathering the storm, the chances of it being around another 50 years look pretty good. That’s the only way Gordon knows how to look at things.

Actually, process does matter VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist The Democratic Party believes so deeply in the will of the American people that it may courageously not vote on a bill that it couldn’t pass. It was The Washington Post that recently compressed the absurdities of the Democrats’ plan to control your health care into a single amusing headline: “House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it.” For the typical American, this may sound counterintuitive -- or perhaps inconceivable -- but as Democrats continue to display a creative knack for legislative swindling, a question has emerged: Are voters, by and large, concerned about the “process,” or do they care more about outcomes? This query becomes more significant as Democrats continue to abandon their defense of “deem and pass” -- when the House deems a bill passed without actually voting on it -- and make a far more dangerous case. How we pass legislation doesn’t matter, they say, as long as the cause is just. Don’t worry; in the end, you’ll learn to love it. (Boy, I wonder whether history offers any clues as to where that kind of logic leads.) House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said: “We talk a lot about process in this town. ... ‘So what?’ says the American public. ... ‘What did you do for me and my family to make my life more secure and better and greater quality?’” President Barack Obama believes citizens are indifferent to “procedural” spats. “I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or the Senate,” Obama explained to Fox News’ Bret Baier, asserting that it is frustrating to see the “focus entirely” on process. “It was ugly when Republicans were in charge,” he went on to say, “(and) it was ugly when Democrats were in charge.” Actually, in the case of health care legislation, the

ugly substance of the legislation creates the ugly process. The two issues are inseparable. The process is corrupted, as the advocates have no other path for passage. This particular process, cobbled together in an effort to bypass the will of voters and protect cowardly legislators, then becomes vitally important. No wonder Obama admits, perhaps unwittingly, that he’s uneasy about all the focus on what’s going on. To deflect attention, he turns to a childish rationalization: Hey, those guys did it, too! Let’s concede that Democrats are correct in calling out duplicitous and hypocritical GOPers. Does dredging up instances of Republican chicanery now validate the use of your own scams to pass “the most important piece of social legislation since the Social Security Act” (the president’s own characterization)? Even on those terms, Democrats have yet to make a solid case. After all, not all legislation is created equal. No Republican “deem-andpass” case comes remotely close to being used for “the most important bill most of us will ever pass” (per House Speaker Nancy Pelosi). On Thursday, Democrats voted down a bipartisan attempt to force Congress to take an old-fashioned upor-down vote on the Senate health care bill, as it would on nearly any other significant piece of legislation. Perhaps the House still will elect to vote on the Senate bill as is without any gimmicks. If not, the constitutionality of “deem and pass” in this configuration almost certainly will be challenged. However the challenge pans out, we shouldn’t forget that the process matters. Sometimes process is vital in protecting the American people from the abuses of majoritarians and crusading tyrants. Other times, it is used by those very people to circumvent pesky constitutional restrictions. And in this case, the process is only a reflection of the ugly legislation that makes it possible.

In for a dime, in for a dollar VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist When I heard about the proposal to replace Ulysses S. Grant with Ronald Reagan on the $50 bill, I had two thoughts. The first: Grant is on the $50 bill? The second: Jimmy Carter is going to be furious. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! I’m in favor of the idea, partly because it would give us a break from the bitter partisan warfare over the problems of the 21st century, allowing us to enjoy bitter partisan warfare over the problems of the 1980s. But there is something else to be said for the proposal. Americans are enamored of change, in cars, clothing, communication, you name it. We are always open to the hope of progress — except when it comes to money, a topic that brings out the hidebound reactionary in all of us. The question is not: Is it time to change the $50 bill? The question is: What’s taking us so long, and why are we considering only one bank note? The current lineup of faces — George Washington ($1), Thomas Jefferson ($2) Abraham Lincoln ($5), Alexander Hamilton ($10), Andrew Jackson ($20), Grant ($50), Benjamin Franklin ($100) — has been around since 1929. The world has changed beyond recognition, but you’re carrying around bills that look pretty much the same as the ones your great-

grandfather carried around during the Great Depression. Money was not always synonymous with monotony. Back in the 19th century, Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War under President Lincoln, appeared on the $1 bill. So did Martha Washington. Grover Cleveland was on the $10 note. In the old days, our currency was a carnival of images: Explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, Union Gens. George Thomas and Philip Sheridan, and inventors Samuel Morse and Robert Fulton. There were even subjects now forgotten by everyone except history buffs, such as Thomas Hendricks (vice president under Cleveland) and Running Antelope, a Sioux chief. Heck, previous generations didn’t limit the options to real people. Allegorical figures were common, including a winged goddess entitled “Electricity Presenting Light to the World.” By contrast, our modern bills and coins show about as much variety and imagination as a Bulgarian housing project. The figures adorning our currency have a claim to be remembered. But there is no reason to grant them eternal tenure. As the three presidents who had the greatest impact on our history, Washington and Lincoln ought to remain on their bills and Franklin Roosevelt is entitled to keep his spot on the dime. But everyone else on bills or coins should have to compete with other important figures. Grant, having been on the $50 bill for nearly a century, would make way for Reagan, the most successful president of the last 50 years (Bill Clinton, his only real competition, isn’t eligible because he’s alive). Hamilton might yield to Frederick Douglass or Martin Luther King Jr.

Jackson could be replaced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Theodore Roosevelt. Am I leaving out any deserving souls? We can go beyond political people. Maybe a scientist — such as Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine — or a novelist. F. Scott Fitzgerald, tribune of the rich, would be perfect on the $100 bill. Or how about a musician? Say, Ella Fitzgerald, who sang “Love for Sale.” Since we’re talking about money, I’d include Milton Friedman, the peerless economist who worked so hard, though without complete success, to preserve its value. Once we open up to new faces, we may find there are more we should accommodate. Fine: We can rotate in the runners-up after 10 years, and again 10 years after that. The idea will take some getting used to. Jay Beeton and Rod Gillis of the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs tell me that Americans generally distrust any monetary change. That’s why the $1 coin has never caught on. It’s easy to see how many Americans who tend to be suspicious of government would fear being shortchanged by any alteration of their money. For them, I have reassuring news: Our experience proves that our leaders do not need to redesign the currency to debase it. It may be too much to hope that our leaders will uphold the purchasing power of our dollars. But if we are going to have to watch as the currency declines in value, at least the government could make it more interesting to look at.

From page A1 yearly expenditures $71,500 for all 100 recipients. More than 98 percent of the organization’s proceeds go towards the meals. The only additional expenses include postage, tax preparation, insurance and supplies, such as coolers for food. All of the staff are volunteers. “If you really want to make a difference in your dollars, we’re putting food in the mouths of individuals,” Whitman said. Unfortunately for Meals on Wheels those dollars have been few and far between. Individual or private donations were down by 80 percent last year, and the United Way could only give the organization $23,500 instead of the requested $40,000. Typically Meals on Wheels only asks for around $25,000, if any at all, but because other donations were so low the group’s reserves had been depleted. And with the baby boomers growing older, as well as increased gas

The adopt-a-grandparent program is a way to sponsor an individual to ensure he or she gets the nutritious meals needed. Meals on Wheels needs to adopt 50 individuals, five of which have already been fully sponsored. The cost to adopt a grandparent is roughly $60 per month, or $2 per day, but any donation in any capacity is welcome. To adopt a grandparent, call 476-3158 or email jjmoore@northstate.net. prices making it harder for out-of-town relatives to come take care of their elderly parents or grandparents — the need for the service has increased. “There are a lot more people who are just relying on this meal,” Whitman said. A majority of the people that Meals on Wheels serves are elderly folks who can’t afford to go into assisted living but don’t want to go into a nursing home. “Assisted living allows them some independence,” said Jackie Moore, acting president of Meals on Wheels of Thomasville, Inc. “For them, being able to stay in their homes is very,

HELP From page A1 a new cutting machine that not only speeds up production and reduces unneeded inventory, but employs operators as well. He would love to do more, but with a limited cash supply available and banks steering clear of anything involving furniture, Lambeth doesn’t know where to go for help. “We need incentives for small businesses to get more technologically advanced,” said Lambeth. “I don’t have a loan from a bank that I don’t have everything personal I own on the line. That’s what we’re looking for. I need the ability to understand how to get training, what I need technologically and how to get loans for it.” Banks across the board are tightening up on loan availability, but demand also is down, according to Tony Hyde, NewBridge Bank’s

CLUB From page A1 group can drive down on a bus together, having even more time to bond. Holt started the Males Only Club four years ago as a club to help young men develop in a positive way. “It’s about establishing true male qualities, like giving back to the community,” he said. Besides service events like today’s cookout, Holt also takes the group on educational field trips to cultivate the mind, statewide conferences, mentoring programs at middle schools and volunteer sessions at the Salvation Army after-school program. “We do a lot of things to try to enhance the boys’ self-esteem and let them

very important.” That being said, the ability to pay for food is not in and of itself a factor of eligibility for Meals on Wheels. Some participants can afford the meals but can’t travel to get them, meaning they typically don’t have any family or friends living close by. “They sometimes do not see another person during the day,” said Agnes Farthing, a volunteer of several years. “My favorite part would be seeing people, knowing that you have helped to make somebody’s day a little brighter.” About 250 volunteers serve Meals on Wheels. Mostly retired folks, vol-

Thomasville Area Market Executive. “What has happened is that loan requests have really slowed,” Hyde said. “I hear more business owners talk about the fact that they are trying to keep people working than whether they make a profit or not. They care about their employees, but that’s not surprising for Thomasville.” When it comes to a situation involving a small business owner wanting to implement technology, Hyde said NewBridge welcomes the chance to help a local company. “That’s what we love doing,” said Hyde. “When we do that we see them improve their facility and start hiring people. We’re a community bank, and if we don’t see our businesses grow, we can’t grow. It behooves us to help those business owners find ways.” All Lambeth is asking the state to do is take a little bit of risk when it comes to small businesses. With so many owners putting their homes

and individual assets on the line, Lambeth would like to see the state put something on the line as well. “They say there are places to go to get information on small business loans,” Lambeth said. “Interesting enough, some pretty smart business guys weren’t aware of that. I don’t think they’ve done a good enough job of letting us know where to go. The state should share, in a capital sense, some incentives to get us through these times and give us the opportunity to pay it back over a longer period of time at a great rate in a position where banks wouldn’t normally loan those monies.” Handouts don’t interest Lambeth. A system where the state works with small businesses during hard economic times does. He just isn’t getting that now. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

‘We do a lot of things to try to enhance the boys’ self-esteem and let them know that it’s OK to have good character and give back.’ — Donnie Holt Lexington Male’s Only Club Leader know that it’s OK to have good character and give back,” Holt said. Bernard Williams, a member of the Appalachian State’s Minority Men Leadership Circle and a former president of the Male’s Only Club, says he encouraged the joint project partly because of his ties to Lexington High but also because the clubs are similar. That similarity encouraged Williams, now a sophomore, to join the Appalachian State club in the first place.

RATE From page A1

The labor force in the Thomasville-Lexington area is 77,500, but only 66,550 are currently employed, leaving nearly 11,000 people out of work who are actively seeking a job. Since December, a total of 703 people have lost employment or simply quit looking for work. In the past year, the ESC has paid out more than $110 million in benefits to those collecting unemployment compensation. A bill passed by Congress last week extended

Holt says these types of groups are extremely important, especially in today’s society. Kids are dropping out of school at an alarming rate, not being efficient in the classroom and in some cases going to jail, he said. “The disrespect a lot of our guys are showing is something that needs to be addressed,” Holt said. “I think this program will look at a lot of those factors.” After the service event, the group will drive back

unemployment insurance benefits until the end of the year to workers who were set to max out their compensation. “The action by Congress to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program and the latest implementation of benefits will assist thousands as the continue to look for work,” said Holmes.

unteers have a route of a few houses on a scheduled day of each month. The routes usually last about an hour to give business professionals the ability to participate during their lunch break. The economic dip has affected the number of volunteers as well as the organizations funds, especially given rising gas prices. Because the number of volunteers limits the number of people the program can serve just as much as the group’s funds, Moore said Meals on Wheels desperately needs people to take on a route. “We do need the help ourselves so we can help all those people,’ she said. And volunteers like Farthing said they have found their participation in Meals on Wheels both enjoyable and rewarding. “I just always thought it was the most wonderful program in the world, and so needed,” said Becky Kearns, a volunteer of 10 years. “It is just humbling to go into their homes and get to know them and see what wonderful people they really are. It’s a blessing, really.”

to Lexington High, where the Appalachian State men will talk a little bit about college life. Williams says some of the impact his comrades can have on the highschoolers comes from the fact that they’re from out of town. “It’s other guys from different backgrounds that can come and talk to them,” he said. “It’s saying a lot when you have just some random guys coming to some small city like Lexington.” The boys will end the day with a few games of basketball, again to nurture the bonding between the two groups. “Our young boys in high school can spend some time with college students,” Holt said. “That might influence them to do the things they need to do to go to college.”

Total county employment decreased by 7,077 workers in January to almost 4 million with unemployment reaching 532,279. Orange County had the state’s lowest unemployment rate at 6.9 percent with Graham County registering the highest at 19.3 percent. A total of 59 counties in North Carolina reported an unemployment above the state rate of 11.8 percent.

Raising the next generation of believers KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

The pitter patter of little paws can be heard around our house. You read that right, my wife and I have adopted an energetic young cat. While that may sound like fun, it has its challenges. We already have an older cat that rules the roost. While he has been a perfect gentleman, she has been a handful. She has been hissing and acting aggressively towards him, and that has been

trying our patience. The new addition seems to be sweet, but we have to train her in our ways. Some of the basics seem to be in place, which helps us as we work to help her adjust to life in the Creamer household. The process is taking a good bit of time, but if we are going to do it right then we are going to have to make the commitment of both our time and energy to make it happen. I am hopeful that things will go well. Raising the next generation of Christians has many things in common with training new pets as they join a family. New Christians are joining the family of God. New Christians and the next generation of believers need to be trained in godly ways. If there is one thing I have learned about following God in my life it’s that God’s ways are not our ways.

That’s why it is important for mature Christians to spend time teaching younger Christians God’s ways. There is so much that can be taught, even though much of knowing God and His ways can only be learned through experience. One of the first lessons younger Christians need to learn is that even older Christians don’t fully understand all of God’s ways. Older Christians understand the need for good friends and wise counsel. There are three basic things that the next generation needs to understand in order to grow and develop in the family of God. First, God calls each of us to serve others, which includes those from inside and outside of the family of God. People are attracted to those with a loving, servant heart. When you attract others you

can win them into the family of God. There are so many ways to serve, I don’t know of a church that has too many volunteers. It’s important in the family of God that we teach each member that they must do their part. The second thing to teach the next generation is that it is important to live your life with integrity. If there is one thing I have learned about God is that He is all about building character. He wants us to live godly lives. That doesn’t mean perfect lives, it does mean one in which we work to gain the fruit of the spirit; that we strive to become more like Christ. Godly men and women admit their mistakes, work to mend broken fences, and live both their public and private lives in ways that honor God. The next generation needs to be taught these

things because they do not come naturally. The third and most important thing we need to teach the next generation is to lead a life of devotion to God. We need to teach them to read the Bible, which helps us understand God’s ways and His plans for our lives. Next we need to teach them to pray and listen to God. We need to teach them to remove distractions so we all can hear the still, small voice of God. I believe that God wants to talk with us but we are often unable to hear because we have allowed the world with all its noise to keep us from listening. Prayer is a conversation with God. It’s letting Him know what we want, but allowing Him space to work and bring about His will. We can ask for His guidance and seek His favor and blessings. We want to ask Him to move on

the hearts of the lost and bring them salvation. I want to encourage you to look for ways that you can get involved in raising up the next generation of believers. God can use each of us to be positive role models in the lives of younger believers. None of us has all the answers but we all have personal experiences and testimonies about how God has worked in our lives. These stories can help other people make the decision to follow Christ and encourage those who are struggling with their faith. The family of God needs each of us to do our part.

Climb your mountain BY VAN BRINKLEY Special to the Times It has been said that a trip of a thousand miles begins with the first step. How about this statement, “Soaring with an eagle without getting off the ground is impossible.” Man does not like to be told what to do. Warning signs and signals are for our benefit. The Ten Commandments of the Old Testament are not easy to live up to. On the other hand, if we do live up to them, we will not go wrong. What is your God? We are to worship NO other Gods. Anything to satisfy desires, such as money, drugs, sex and sinful pleasures are intriguFILE PHOTO ing. False gods will lead to destruction. Bad company brings corruption.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS DAY

tience with persistence has a slow but lasting and effective finish. Our love of God is shown by actions. Begin each day with prayer to God. Peace with God, peace with self and peace with our fellow man brings results in contentment and gain. Live each day, each hour, in harmony with whom you are and what your life represents. Forgetting those thing which are ahead, I press towards the mark of the high calling of Christ Jesus. His grace covers all, He cares for you. Integrity is a gift of God, but it does not come to those who do not want it. It must begin with a person being willing to be honest with himself. A final note; try working on your enthusiasm, in spite of past difficulties, valley of depression or mountain you may be climbing. God working in you can help you become your real true self. Refuse negative thoughts as you seek and pursue higher ground. Believe in yourself and go bravely forward. You may not be able to climb all of your mountains in your lifetime, but don’t give up. Try and try again. Choose the must important ones and enjoy your victories.

The Church Basement Ladies will perform at the Stevens Center in Winston-Salem on April 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Church Basement Ladies to perform at Stevens Center TIMES STAFF REPORT The Church Basement Ladies will perform at the Stevens Center, 405 W. Fourth St. in WinstonSalem on April 1 at 7:30 p.m. A celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, Church Basement Ladies is a new musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1964. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, the audience will see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser, and, of course, a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the Pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other as the true “steel magnolias” of the church. Funny and down to earth, audiences will

recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God. This is most certainly true. Church Basement Ladies uses the renowned Scandinavian Lutheran humor writings of “The Lutheran Ladies,” Janet Martin and Suzann Nelson, authors of a host of humorous books the most famous being Growing Up Lutheran. The script is by Jessica Zuehlke and Jim Stowell with music and lyrics by composer Drew Jansen, who gave us the music for the popular long-running hit musical, How To Talk Minnesotan, The Musical. Tickets are $32 in Orchestra Level and $28 in Balcony Level. Group rates of at least 20 are $24 and $21. A dinner buffet will be served on the 10th floor reception hall of the Stevens Center from 5:307:30 p.m. The menu will include fruit salad, sweet Georgia pecan chicken with gingered sweet potato casserole, grilled salmon with wild rice, vegetable medley, cheesecake, rolls and iced tea, coffee or water. Costs for the buffet is $23.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor What a week it has been for East Davidson senior Spencer Embler. On Wednesday, she signed to play collegiate softball for FlorenceDarlington Technical College, then Friday, she hit a walkoff grand slam to lift the Lady Golden Eagles to a 15-2, six-inning win over Wheatmore. On top of that, she got the win on the mound striking out four, helping East improve its record to 3-1. “She deserves it,” said East coach Greg Fowler, with a huge grin and eyes watering. “It is just like I told you the other day, she works so hard. There was no doubt when she hit it, and I am so happy for her.” Embler almost did not get the chance to hit her home run, with East leading by nine in the fifth and having the bases loaded with one out. But the runners were left stranded, prolonging the game one more inning. When the bases became loaded again in the sixth, the senior ended it like every player dreams of doing. Her shot sailed over the fence in left field, ending a superb day at the plate for the Golden Eagles. “We hit the ball extremely well, and that is the best overall game that we have played,” Fowler said. “It was just a great team effort.” Wheatmore scored its only two runs in the first inning to take the 2-0 lead, but East had an answer scoring two of their own with RBIs going to Morgan Gallimore and Embler. East took the lead 3-2 in the second on an odd play. Warrior pitcher Cat Tupper was called for an illegal pitch that allowed Brittany Osborne to score. Embler found a little trouble in the third allowing two runners, but worked her way out of the jam. The Golden Eagles

A little over a decade ago, Jim Hunter, NASCAR’s current vice president of corporate communications who then served as president of Darlington Raceway, took masterful advantage of what could have been a discouraging situation. At the same time the fall race was being run at Bristol in late August of that year, a hurricane was headed toward South Carolina, where the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was scheduled to run the very next weekend. The end of the race resembled the Fourth of July more closely than it did the upcoming Labor Day weekend, as Dale Earnhardt basically knocked Terry Labonte out of his way on the final lap to take the checkered flag. Hunter, who was working in his office that night, picked up the phone after the race and called an artist buddy. The following Monday morning, newspapers around the country ran a cartoon featuring the cars of Labonte and Earnhardt, along with the famous hurricane weather icon, all bearing down on Darlington. Phones in the ticket office rang off the hook, as Hunter and his staff had reminded people of the things that attracted them to the sport of stock car racing in the first place — excitement, hard-fought, closely won victories, and the thrill of not knowing what might happen next. As the editor of a hometown newspaper, I get a lot of press releases in the course of any given week. Recent topics have ranged from spring vegetable-planting timelines to the latest gubernatorial candidacy announcement to how to decorate the perfect Easter cupcake. And then, I got this one — “Dillon Motor Speedway opens 2010 to record crowd.” Now, that’s what I’m talking about.

Kaley Key, Osborne, and Embler each had an RBI and Addie Chaney added two RBIs in the frame. When all was said and done, East held an 11-2 lead that would not be challenged. “We communicated so well today, and that has been a big thing we have tried to drive into them,” said Fowler. “There was talking over here in the dugout, and it is the little things like that we try to get them to do.

CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist

Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — A fresh start is something North Carolina is looking forward to as it gets ready to play Gonzaga in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday in Seattle, Wash. The Tar Heels have gone through an unpredictable season that has left Coach Sylvia Hatchell grasping for answers. Her team enters the tournament facing one of the questions that been around since the start of the season: Who is the starting five?

Hatchell has mixed and matched her players and achieved some success with some lineups and not so much with others. Right now, Hatchell says she has a group that rebounds well but lacks a scoring punch. And another group that can score but isn’t as aggressive on the boards as she’d like. “When have the kids who can score out there, we’re not good of a rebounding team,” Hatchell said. “If I put the kids who can rebound out there, then we don’t have the scoring. That’s been something that we went

through with the last several conference games.” Hatchell has been pleased with the practices leading up to the tournament, though. The Tar Heels played their last regular-season game on Sunday against N.C. Central to keep her team from going two weeks without game action. While there is still a break in the action, it was welcomed this year, according to Hatchell. “It give you some time to make some separation,” Hatchell said. “It has given us a chance to regroup. Our practices have been very good and

The worst kind of henpecking is on the shotgun range OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a terrible slump on clay targets. A little over a year ago, I was shooting clays better than I ever had in my life. I shot several 25 out of 25s on five stand and wobble trap, I was shooting like a natural shotgunner and feeling very good about myself. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I could hit my own foot if it had a clay target on it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a most frustrating situation and it happens to everyone who participates in anything that requires practice and effort. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of ashamed of it, though I know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through it before. The comeback will require effort, but I have a reasonable expectation Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back strong. The fact is, though, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a natural shotgunner. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an uncoordinated spaz who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk and chew chewing gum at the same time. The main reason I got interested in shooting in my youth was because I stunk at regular sports. I won my class at the first pistol match I ever shot and the first time I ever shot an M14 rifle in a High Power rifle match, I

won first Marksman in the 1984 North Carolina State Championship. When it comes to holding a gun steady and keeping it on target while pulling the trigger, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a natural. Shooting a pistol or rifle is easy for me for some reason. Shooting a shotgun is a whole different ballpark. I struggle with it because it requires hand/eye coordination. The problem is, I love shooting shotguns, too. For some reason, my slump isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affecting my ability to shoot real birds. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hunting a lot lately to get the most out of the ending game preserve season and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been slaying ducks, pheasants, and chukars with regularity. I make long shots, shots in tight places, and shots that are a total surprise with equal ease. Clay targets are, for some reason, another matter. For me to shoot a shotgun well, I have to really work at it and I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing that enough. My psyche is suited to focusing on the target, making everything as perfect as possible and allowing my finger to break the trigger and fire the gun. Adding movement to that equation complicates things for me, but I can manage provided I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think too much. When I was shooting well, I was shooting a lot. I was in the groove and confident. Confidence makes one able to block out negative thoughts and negative thoughts make a spaz even more inept. I know why I have the problem; I just have to shake it by shooting

enough to get back my confidence. What makes this especially difficult is that my wife, Cherie, was going through a slump, too, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovering much faster than I am. Only those of us lucky enough to have a spouse who shoots knows the misery involved in being outshot by the woman we encouraged to learn to shoot. The last few times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot together, Cherieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outshot me. In fact, last fall, she taught my friend, Terry Picketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Sara, to shoot and the last time I shot with Sara, she outshot me, too. My affliction with clay targets comes from a lack of confidence. To those who have great hand/eye coordination, this may seem strange but to a life-

long spaz, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not funny. Shooting a shot gun well requires a smooth, confident swing that tracks the target and allows the trigger finger to do itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work at the most opportune moment. If the shooter lacks confidence, his swing is jerky and the shot just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break at the right time. This allows the little clay disk to continue its flight unimpeded and damages the confidence of the poor jerk even more. The reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shooting at real birds so well is because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to think about failure when a chukar, pheasant, or duck tries to wing its way to the next county. In most situations, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking more about Larry, my lab, and what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing and the shot

just comes reflexively. Thinking about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen when the gun goes off breaks down the ability to let the shot happen naturally and I, and anyone else afflicted with self doubt, tend to stop my swing and second guess my lead which causes a miss. In other words, I have everything I need to break the target, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just analyzing it too much. Russell Jones, a shooting buddy of mine who won the 1989 Wimbledon Match,( the long range shooting equivalent of the Daytona 500,) said this after the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

was the easiest match I ever shot, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about having problems so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any problems. Shooting a good score is easy, everything goes right. Shooting a bad score is hard, everything goes wrong and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling to deal with it.â&#x20AC;? This happens to everyone from time to time; I know that, by shooting regularly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get back in the groove.

NASCAR adds wrinkle to Sprint All-Star Race NASCARMEDIA.COM DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The 26th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race will once again feature a 10lap shootout as its final segment and will add a new wrinkle that should make the competition even more exciting for the fans. The NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, set for Saturday, May 22 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (SPEED, 7 p.m.), will consist of four segments, concluding with a 10-lap sprint and a $1 million pay-out to the race winner. There’s an added twist this year before the green flag drops

But that doesn’t phase Hatchell or DeGraffenreid. “There is no pressure on us,” Hatchell said. “Before we’ve been one of the top seeds. We are the underdog. That is a

dandelions start popping up on the lawn. It is a harbinger of spring, with many of the characteristics of the season, things like renewal and rebirth, as old rivalries from the previous year resume and new ones are formed. DMS is a great track, but depending on where you live, you know one just as good. The phrase “record crowd” was the real attention grabber, because it reminds us of something we already knew. Fans just love short track racing, and the Cup schedule has two humdingers coming up back to back, at Bristol Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway, with Richmond International Raceway not too far behind them on May 1. There are a lot of theories on why short track racing is so beloved by fans. There’s a lot of action, certainly, but it can be frustrating, too, as sometimes it seems there are just as many caution laps in a race as there are green-flag runs. A lot of the appeal is nostalgia. For thousands of fans, the first stock car race they ever saw in person was a local Friday or Saturday night show. Preparation involved grabbing a cooler and a bucket of chicken and heading out to the track early, where there was usually some type of promotion going on, wacky or otherwise, to entertain people while they waited. The venues were small, even intimate, if such a word can be applied to a racetrack. The crowds were enthusiastic, cheer-

for the final segment: once the field takes a lap behind the pace car, all cars must enter pit road for a four-tire stop. The order in which the cars exit off pit road is how they will line up for the final 10 laps, placing an even greater premium on the efficiency of the pit crews. The 2010 format is as follows: • Segment 1: 50 laps with a mandatory greenflag pit stop on Lap 25 at which time teams must pit and take on four tires. Following the end of Segment 1, the caution flag will be displayed for an optional pit stop. • Segment 2: 20 laps with the caution flag dis-

played at the end of Segment 2 for an optional pit stop. • Segment 3: 20 laps with a 10-minute break at the end of Segment 3. Teams may make normal adjustments to their cars during this break. The finishing order after the third segment determines the field’s lineup for the pace lap prior to the start of the fourth segment. • Segment 4: Once the field takes a lap behind the pace car, all cars must enter pit road for a four-tire stop. The order in which the cars exit pit road is how they will line up for the 10-lap shootout with only green-flag laps counting.

different role for us. Our kids know that they’re a better team than their record indicates. I think we’re anxious to prove that.” Gonzaga won the West Coast Conference and is on an 18-game winning streak. The Bulldogs are loaded with good outside shooters, according to Hatchell. She said Courtney Vandersloot is an exceptional shooter and will require a lot of defensive attention. Vandersloot earned WCC tournament

MVP honors for the second straight year. “They shoot a lot of 3s,” Hatchell said. “We played Gonzaga three years ago in Hawaii and I remember that they all put it up from the outside.” Gonzaga, a No. 7 seed, is making its third appearance in the tournament and second in a row. “We may be a little underrated as 10 seed, but that’s OK,” Hatchell said. “But we’ve got to show up and prove it.”

ing for their favorites and booing everyone else with equal vigor. The cars weren’t fancy looking — some of them were pretty beaten up — but nevertheless they shone under the lights. In a venue this size, you could actually hear doors and tires and fenders scraping both the walls, and one another. They kicked up dirt, and you could taste it between your teeth. It felt like the whole place was giving you a big, loud, gritty, smelly hug. And then someone won the race and everything started all over again, as local tracks typically feature several events each weekend. If any or all of this sounds familiar, it should. This is the cornerstone of racing, the most basic point where local tracks and facilities that host NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends meet. Bristol, Martinsville and Richmond owe a lot of their popularity to these tracks, where almost every famous name that ever graced a Cup Series winners’ wall turned his first lap. The tracks are all dressed up and glamorous now. Small town promotions have evolved into acres of interactive displays and shows. The cars glitter like the million-dollar jewels that they are. But you won’t have to look too hard to find coolers, and chicken, and passionate spectators galore. The short tracks in particular wrap themselves around you, making you feel you’re living in some sort of racing bubble. It feels familiar and fun. Once again, you feel like you’re getting that big, loud, gritty, smelly hug, and you love it ... because it feels like home.

Vendors join to build house for Victory Junction Gang Camp TIMES STAFF REPORT

More than 20 vendors at this year’s Southern Ideal Home Show have joined forces to build a house for Victory Junction Camp on the Greensboro Coliseum floor during the three days before the event planned for March 26-28. The idea to build and donate the fully-functioning high tech house and the organization of its tightly scheduled construction were conceived by Len Malave´, president of Granite and Marble by Malave´. Malave´ developed the idea for the house in Dec. 2009 with the intention of utilizing materials from his business only. As the plans evolved, he quickly realized that the “Ideal Dream House” could be a showplace for the products and services of other companies participating in the event. “Participating companies were handpicked because of the high quality and low maintenance of their products which with low maintenance that will last for years to come,” said Malave´. The group chose to donate the home to Victory Junction in memory of Malave’s son, Jason, who passed away two years ago. Pattie Petty, chairman and co-founder of Victory Junction Camp. Petty, who with her husband, Kyle, established the camp for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illness in 2004, said, “We are so grateful that Victory Junction was selected as the recipient of such a generous and much needed gift.” The house will become the on-site home of camp facilities director, Tracy Hedrick. WFMY News 2 will sponsor the house as a “Hero Central” project. Hero Central is the WFMY News 2 initiative that recognizes heroes throughout the Triad viewing area. “The builders of this house are true heroes. They are donating their products and services, as well as their time and talents, for the benefit of Victory Junction Camp,” said Deborah Hooper, President and General Manager of WFMY News 2. Highlights of the Ideal

Dream House include the most advanced and maintenance-free products available for home construction and renovation as showcased by the participating exhibitors. The indoor kitchen features custom cabinetry and the outdoor kitchen is crafted from stone with granite countertops and a matching custom-designed sink. Both kitchens feature 2010 Spring Series Viking stainless steel appliances. Guest chefs will be presenting cooking demonstrations in the outdoor kitchen, throughout the Show. The flooring is made of porcelain with a woodlike finish. The shower is constructed from a continuous sheet of material requiring no grout cleaning. The custom

designed vanity features a flat screen TV hidden behind the mirror. The house is wired with high tech security and fire prevention systems and an advanced sound system designed to be compatible with mp3/iPod players and indoor/outdoor speakers. The house also includes a home theatre room, living and dining rooms and outdoor living area. Victory Junction will host an exhibit next to the Ideal Dream House and show guests are invited to visit and view the camp’s most recent video, “Voices of Victory.” A show car will also be parked adjacent to the Victory Junction exhibit and camp merchandise will be available for purchase.

Piedmont Opera, led by conductor James Allbritten, closes its season with a semi-staged concert performance of Giacomo Puccini’s grand opera Turandot at The Stevens Center of the North Carolina School of the Arts. Starring UNCSA alumni Carter Scott as Turandot and Piedmont Opera favorites, tenor José Luis Duval as Calaf and Jill Gardner as Liù, Turandot will run April 9, 11 and 13, 2010. American soprano and alumnus of the UNCSA, Carter Scott, will return to Winston-Salem to sing the title role of Turandot in Piedmont Opera’s season finale April 9, 11, and 15. Turandot, by Giacomo Puccini, is set in ancient China where any brave suitor seeking the hand of Princess Turandot is subjected to three impossible riddles. Failure means certain death, but Calaf (José Luis Duval) risks everything. Turandot has become one of Scott’s signature roles; she has sung it over 40 times in Europe and South Korea as well as having covered it at Lyric Opera of Chicago and Santa Fe Opera. Having sung for years as a mezzo-soprano, Scott began her move to the soprano repertoire as Nedda in Pagliacci with Mobile Opera. In addition, she has performed with numerous companies throughout the country including Opera Pacific, Opera San Jose, Virginia Opera, Pensacola Opera, and Piedmont Opera. She made her Carnegie Hall debut singing Mozart’s Laudate Dominum and Chilcott’s Jubilate. American soprano Jill Gardner will sing the

part of the heartbroken, slave girl, Liù. Gardner is swiftly establishing herself among today’s leading operatic heroines. In the 2009-2010 season, Ms. Gardner made her Kennedy Center debut with the Washington Chorus in a concert called The Essential Puccini. Gardner will return to her hometown, where she received a Master of Music degree in vocal performance from the University of North

Program to expand children’s health insurance to 16 counties TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue Friday announced the 16 high-need counties that will pilot the “Healthy and Ready to Learn” initiative. They are Cleveland, Columbus, Cumberland, Davidson, Edgecombe, Gaston, Halifax, Harnett, Lenoir, Pitt, Randolph, Robeson, Rutherford, Vance, Wayne and Wilson counties. The North Carolina “Healthy & Ready to Learn” (HRL) Partnership will identify uninsured children who are entering kindergarten and are eligible for Medicaid or N.C. Health Choice. “When our children enter public school, we need to ensure that they are healthy and ready to learn,” said Perdue. “This initiative will help us reach out to more young children across North Carolina to make sure they are receiving the care and coverage they need.” Year one of the “Healthy and Ready to Learn” initiative begins with these 16 counties and in year two the program will expand statewide to all 4- and 5- year-olds. The

initiative is funded by a $678,210 grant by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced in October of last year. Gov. Perdue has asked the N.C. Pediatric Society Foundation to lead the HRL Partnership, which is a coalition of physicians, school nurses, School Health Advisory Councils, state agencies, Local Education Agencies and communitybased stakeholders. The N.C. Pediatric Society has an accomplished record in working to improve health care access for medically underserved children. “North Carolina Pediatricians are excited to begin providing care to uninsured children in these 16 counties,” said Dr. Marian Earls, president of the N.C. Pediatric Society. “Having care in a medical home promotes physical, oral and emotional health, and sets the stage for children and adolescents to be ready to learn and to experience success.” Other key partners in the HRL initiative include: the School Nurses Association of North

Carolina, N.C. Healthy Start Foundation, Action for Children, N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Rural Health and Community Care, N.C. Healthy Schools, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, the Office of the Governor and the N.C. Academy of Family Physicians. Throughout her career, Gov. Perdue has championed expanded access to health care for children, in particular the role of child health in ensuring children’s ability to succeed in school and later in life. As part of her health care roadmap, Gov. Perdue has worked to expand access to health care for all North Carolinians despite the economic crisis and historic budget shortfalls including the expansion of SCHIP by 9,098 children; a $17 million federal competitive grant to expand coverage for uninsured working families; a $9.3 million federal grant for children’s health innovations; and nearly $3.9 million for Rural Hope to improve health care facilities in rural North Carolina.
