PICKING UP THE PIECES Volunteer relief efforts in full force
N.C. Baptist Men move in to assist families
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
In the wake of Sunday’s devastating tornados that ripped through parts of Davidson and Guilford counties, the High Point Police Department is helping those affected by putting them in touch with those who want to help. HPPD is setting up a volunteer coordination process to help homeowners find volunteer groups who are wanting to assist in the long clean-up process left over from the destructive storms. High Point Mayor Becky Smothers said that more than 600 homes in the area were affected by the tornados. The process is scheduled to run until Sunday. “If you’re a volunteer and would like to help the homeowners in the area you can come by our command center,” HPPD Capt. Ken Steele said. “We will place volunteers with homeowners who have called in for assistance.” A command post vehicle will be set up at Community Bible Church at 4125 Johnson St. in High Point. Volunteer groups interested in helping will be paired up with home and property owners who are trying rebuild. Homeowners in need of help can call 906-4341. Steele said the process may be extended past Sunday if the need calls for it. Volunteers will be

Two days later, residents of the park are still doing all they can to help their stricken friends and neighbors. “They [residents] rose to the occasion,” park owner Angela Boles said Tuesday. “It was like they were all trained to be first responders to a tornado.” That spirit of togetherness and support, perhaps, was best exposed by the young McClure, Boles says. “Today, one thing that got me
HIGH POINT — With people still unable to return to their homes after Sunday’s series of tornados, the relief effort has reached full swing. Volunteer organizations as well as county staff are out at the various damage sites helping property owners make a dent in a clean-up effort that Doug Lowe, emergency services director of Davidson County, says could take two to three weeks. “The clean-up hasn’t really started yet,” said Davidson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Dr. Max Walser. “But what has happened is encouraging.” With hundreds of houses destroyed, the Red Cross and the county Emergency Management staff have found sites for the displaced people to live temporarily and are supplying them with food. The Social Services Department has used some emergency money to pay for the supplies. But outside the realm of government relief, volunteers from across the Triad area and even the state have mobilized in a collaborative clean-up. North Carolina Baptist Men has coordinated an assistance effort the past

Families sift through rubble they once called home BY LISA WALL Editor DAVIDSON COUNTY — The wind howled, the rain poured, and the sound of hail colliding with metal roofs and cars filled the air. But, it was the deafening silence that followed that scared residents of Valley Mobile Home Park on Sink Lake Road Sunday night. Moments after the silence came the fury of an F3 tornado as it ripped though the neighborhood, destroying everything in its path. Trees crashed through the roofs of several homes and cars, while others were shifted from
their foundations, tossing inhabitants and their possessions within the walls. One home was lifted from the ground and tossed into a nearby lake as if it were a mere toy. Thirteen-year-old Chris McClure, along with his family, was inside at the time. “We were in the closet and everything just started shaking,” McClure said. “It kinda felt like a roller coaster. I thought I was gonna die and when we hit the water I thought we were gonna drown cause it kept pulling us under.” With the aid of neighbors who rushed to help rescue the family, everyone survived the vi-

HIGH POINT — Rep. Howard Coble had never seen his 6th district in such ruin. Splintered trees, dangling power lines, smashed vehicles and dream homes left condemned littered much of the district Coble has represented for the last two decades. While he saw footage of the disaster area left by Sunday’s tornados that struck parts of Davidson and Guilford counties on TV, seeing it in person left Coble struggling to find the words for those looking for answers. Coble toured the affected areas with High Point Mayor Becky Smothers Wednesday afternoon. “You have to be here to see how big the disaster is,” Coble said. “I had no idea it

was this bad. The people are still smiling and saying they’re lucky to be alive. That’s true, but I’ve still wept a time or two today.” As Coble and Smothers went from one tattered neighborhood to another, the devastation only seemed to worsen. In Hampton Park, Coble stopped to speak with Dan Krawiec and his wife Carol, who were standing out front of what vaguely resembled their home. The second floor was all but gone as only cracked picture frames, a rocking chair and some dirty clothes remained. The Krawiec’s said they were watching the Duke basketball game on TV when reports started coming in of a tornado touching down near Highway 311 and Johnson Street.

County residents question who’s paying for health care bill BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Public support for the health care reform bill has increased since the bill’s approval by the House of Representatives, according to three national polls conducted after the vote by CBS News, Quinnipiac University and USA Today/Gallup. But a few Davidson County residents voiced concerns on the bill at a town hall meeting held by Rep. Mel Watt (D-NC) at Davidson County Community College on Monday. Some of the doubts raised by constituents centered around the pork-barreling running rampant on Capitol Hill, including the sweetheart deal given to Nebraska that had the federal government picking up costs that otherwise fell to the states. With that provision’s elimination in the Senate reconciliation bill, Watt said the congressmen focused on the root of the problem. “Sometimes even when someone does something bad, something good comes of it,” Watt said. “As a result of that being there, people in the House and Congress continued to focus on something bad we had in there which was that the states were paying a lot of this cost.” Now the federal government will provide Medicaid matching payments at
a 100 percent rate for expansion states from 2014 to 2016, tapering down to the same rate as nonexpansion states in 2019 — 7 percent in 2019 and 10 percent thereafter. “We have lifted a bunch of the cost that would have been passed along to the states and put it back at the federal government level,” Watt said. “We’re imposing these costs, we ought to be paying them. We recognize that.” An important clarification in that statement was that someone, indeed, would be paying for health care changes, Watt says.
‘There’s a misconception out there that we are doing this without costing anybody anything.’ — Mel Watt N.C. Representative
“There’s a misconception out there that we are doing this without costing anybody anything,” he said. “We are not. You can’t get more coverage for nothing.” But while the Congressional Budget Office has put a $980 billion price tag on the bill, it also said that the means of paying for the bill will not only generate that $980 billion
back but will also apply more than $1.34 trillion to the national deficit. Part of the payment for the bill comes from the health system itself. “Hospitals and health systems are being relied upon to help finance this expansion by agreeing to cuts in our Medicaid payments,” said Jane Wilder, director of community relations at Thomasville Medical Center. “These cuts are only sustainable if the federal government’s estimates are accurate for the number of people who gain coverage.” Watt says he thinks that the Budget Office’s estimates are conservative in regards to the amount of money the bill will put towards the national deficit, primarily because of the emphasis on preventive and primary care, which should remove a large cost burden from emergency rooms. Emergency rooms currently see many patients who don’t have health insurance and so they wait until a health condition has escalated to seek help. But while the cost savings to the system should be substantial, neither the Budget Office nor hospitals have an estimate as to how much they will save. “It is impossible to calculate the impact on the hospital or physicians’ offices,” Wilder said. “We hope the bill will achieve its goal of extending more health coverage to people uninsured.”
ASSIST From page 1 three days, gathering volunteers from as far away as Raleigh, Oxford, Asheville and Wilmington and sending 28 out on Monday, 68 on Tuesday and 43 on Wednesday. The group has received 74 work orders from individuals affected by the storm, mostly to do with tree removal and fixing tarps over roofs that lost shingles. One project on Wednesday involved cutting away a driveway so the resident could get into the house. As of Wednesday morning, Baptist Men had complete 33 jobs and had started 14 more at 19 different sites, including a section by Old Mill Road and the Sink Lake Road property. “It’s very rewarding,” said Greg Riggs, a Baptist Men volunteer from Durham who has been helping the relief effort since Monday. “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.” Baptist Men volunteers must go through a training process before they can become a member of the organization. The training includes feeding, recovery, child care and safety instruction. Part of the reason for the strict organization is that it keeps relief efforts orderly and it assures other safety workers of a volunteer’s authenticity, says John Gore, director of ministry coordination for the local region of North Carolina Baptist Men. “It makes sure we have all people on the same page,” he said. “When we send a volunteer out,
they’ve been trained, they know what to do.” That being said, Gore added that any local folks who want to volunteer are welcome to join. Such volunteers will be paired with a trained Baptist Men member and will join ranks of other groups already coming together in the effort, including youth groups, Abbot Creek Baptist Church and other churches in the area.
WANT TO HELP?
To volunteer with North Carolina Baptist Men, either go to Oak View Baptist Church, 810 Oakview Road, in High Point, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or call (336) 8416511.
“We won’t turn anyone away who wants to help,” Gore said. “It kind of brings the community together when something like this happens.” And having the community rise up to offer support becomes important
in a disaster situation because governmental agencies can only do so much so fast, Gore says. “Volunteers can move immediately,” he said. “And we have such a great force, more than 10,000 trained people in North Carolina.” Whether it’s government-issued or not, the people of the Triad area certainly need the help. The storms that swept the county Sunday were rated F3. “This has probably been the worst that we’ve seen in a long time,” Lowe said. “Most of our disasters that we have are short-lived and shortterm. .” And while this time of the spring marks peak tornado season, there still has only been two dozen or so tornados in the Triad area since the 1950s, said Ryan Boyles, state climatologist and director for the State Climate Office of North Carolina. Boyles said. Facing the odds, people have risen to the occasion, helping those who lost everything. “It shows you the spirit of the American people,” Walser said. “When tragedy comes, people come together to help folks out.”

In the drug war, drugs are winning VIEWPOINT
JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist When someone next door is coping with trouble, the neighborly thing to do is help. Mexico has a growing problem with extreme violence. And many people in California have a good idea of how to help. Mexico has been wracked by murders connected to the drug trade. Last year, it suffered more than 6,500 drug-related killings, triple the number in 2007. And 2010 looks worse. As of mid-March, more than 2,000 people have died in drug-related homicides — which puts Mexico on pace for more than 10,000 such deaths this year. That’s more than one every hour. This is not an epidemic of crazed meth addicts slaughtering people at random. It’s the byproduct of a war involving narcotics traffickers, who sometimes kill each other, sometimes kill police and soldiers, sometimes kill journalists who report their crimes and sometimes kill innocent bystanders. So what can the Golden State offer in the way of assistance? Something potentially valuable. In November, Californians will vote on a ballot initiative that would make it legal not only to use marijuana but to grow and sell it. You may think this would help only by allowing Mexicans to flee northward and escape their troubles in a stoner fog. But it would do more. Mexico is the biggest supplier of cannabis to the United States. Control of that market is one of the things that Mexican drug cartels are willing to kill for. Legalizing weed in this country would be their worst nightmare. Why? Because it would offer Americans a legitimate supply of the stuff. Criminal organizations would no longer be able to demand huge premiums to compensate for the major risks that go with forbidden commerce. If the referendum passes, some 39 million Californians will have access at lower prices, from regulated domestic producers. So the drug cartels would see a large share of their profits go up in smoke. Those profits are what enables them to establish sophisticated smuggling operations, buy guns and airplanes, recruit foot soldiers and bribe govern-
ment officials. Those profits are also what makes all those efforts — and the murderous violence the merchants employ — worth the trouble. By now, it should be clear that using force to wipe out the drug trade is a task on the order of bailing out the Atlantic Ocean with a teaspoon. Law enforcement can interdict shipments and imprison dealers, but the success is invariably short-lived. Each seized cargo is an opportunity for another seller to fill the gap. Each arrested trafficker is an invitation for a competitor to grab his business. The more vigorous and successful the law enforcement campaign, the higher the prices drug suppliers can command — and the more people will be enticed to enter the market. It’s a self-defeating process. All this would be academic if Americans (and Mexicans) would simply lose their taste for illicit drugs. But we might as well hope the Sahara Desert will run out of sand. There has always been a demand for mind-altering substances, and there always will be. That’s why, despite all the resources the U.S. government has expended on locking up sellers and their customers, drug use is higher today than it was two decades ago. Prohibition is no match for the obstinacy and ingenuity of many human beings. Iran has a repressive theocratic regime that imposes severe penalties for using and selling drugs — including death by hanging. Yet it has one of the highest rates of addiction in the world. President Obama’s promise of change is inapplicable in this realm. The Bush administration provided hundreds of millions of dollars to help Mexico fight the drug war. The Obama administration intends to keep sending money, the only real difference being that it will go to the police instead of the military. On a recent trip to Mexico City, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged that Americans’ demand for drugs helps sustain the Mexican merchants and resolved to address the problem. “We are looking at everything that can work,” she said. Well, almost everything. The most viable option is the one that is considered unthinkable. The head of Obama’s Office of National Drug Control Policy has said that “legalization is not in the president’s vocabulary, nor is it in mine.” No, but failure is.
It’s not you, Mitt; It’s me VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Mitt Romney not only possesses an air of realworld know-how but also has mucho smarts. I’ve been a reluctant apologist for him for years now. And for those of you who believe he’s out of touch with the proletariat, pick up his touching ode to the human spirit, “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness.” The book begins, “I hate to weed. I’ve hated it ever since my father put me to work weeding the garden at our home.” And it only gets better. You see. He’s just like us. I hate to weed, too. Yet, notwithstanding his many attributes and my own nagging man crush, it has become evident that Romney’s is a hopeless quest for the presidency. It is possible to see — if one dares to dream — some authentic fiscal conservative emerging to take a shot at the presidency in 2012. Though Romney has the required drive, intellect and temperament, he is wrong on the fundamental ideological question of this time: health care. In fact, Romney’s illogical
and unconvincing defense of his own health care plan not only is a deal breaker but also allows folks like White House press secretary Robert Gibbs to tell reporters that Obamacare is similar to a plan enacted (and still defended) by a leading Republican contender in 2012. And Gibbs is right. Let’s concede momentarily that the GOP will win back enough seats in 2010 to make it thornier for Democrats to push through any other comprehensive assaults on the economy. Let’s concede also, then, that health care reform becomes the defining legislative accomplishment of Barack Obama’s first term. By 2012, many of the hidden costs of this reform will have surfaced, while the bulk of the alleged benefits still will not have kicked in. Barring some earth-shattering geopolitical event, candidate Romney will be impelled to spend a noteworthy chunk of his time pointing out differences and/or defending comparisons between the two plans — effectively eliminating the issue that holds potentially the greatest impact for Republicans. Unlike Hillary Clinton on Iraq or Romney’s dad, George, on Vietnam, Mitt can’t claim to have been brainwashed by The Man. Not anymore. In fact, when recently asked about it, Romney, according to The Boston Globe, offered “an enthusiastic defense.” “Overall, ours is a model that works,” Romney explained. “We solved our problem at the state level. Like it or not, it was a state solution. Why is it that President Obama is stepping in
and saying ‘one size fits all’?” Federalism is a good argument that has nothing to do with health care reform models, as Romney knows well. Here’s what he should have said years ago: “Everyone makes mistakes. Heck, I made a huge one. My plan, first hijacked by state liberals and now copied by Barack Obama, has created a fiscal nightmare in my state — one that, according to the former Democratic treasurer, has forced us to cut back on other basic services. “Though we promised an individual mandate would mean everyone would chip in, nearly 70 percent of the newly insured are subsidized by taxpayers — with many paying nothing. Meanwhile, health care spending in our state is 27 percent higher than the national average, and we have a shortage of doctors, to boot. And that’s just for starters. “Let me be clear. I am not here to defend Romneycare. I am here to extract my name from that botched experiment by repealing its ugly stepson, Obamacare, so Americans work together to pass genuine, common-sense, market-based reform.” Then again, it is entirely possible Romney genuinely believes his health care model works. If that’s the case, his position just doesn’t cut it. David Harsanyi is a columnist at The Denver Post and the author of “Nanny State.” Visit his Web site at www.DavidHarsanyi. com.

Ledford pitcher Brian Connolly had a standout day go bad in the seventh inning Tuesday.
WALLBURG — Ledford pitcher Brian Connolly was pitching one of the best games of his career, until North Forsyth made him pay for a costly mistake in the seventh inning Tuesday in a MidPiedmont Conference contest. Connolly had allowed no runs and only five hits through 6 2/3 innings, keeping a dangerous Viking team off the scoreboard. He was one out away from putting the Panthers in prime position to take control of the
conference, but getting the final out can be the toughest of all. Striking out the first two batters in the last inning, Connolly needed just one more strike on Trent Bottoms to finish the complete game. He would plunk Bottoms, continuing the game. Again, with two strikes on Adam Smith, Connolly placed the pitch exactly where he wanted it, but Smith adjusted and yanked it over the left field wall to send North Forsyth ahead 2-1. Disgusted by the turn of events, Connolly threw his glove to the ground.

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun NEW YORK — Maybe North Carolina fans should start calling point guard Larry Drew II “Mr. Clutch.” T h e sophom o r e provided late dramatics the third straight N I T game, and Williams his key buckets Tuesday night propelled fourth-seeded UNC past second-seeded Rhode Island 68-67 in overtime at Madison Square Garden in the semifinals.

But Drew scored the Tar Heels’ final five points to send the game to overtime. Drew made a jumper with 1:28 to go and made 1 of 2 free throws after the Tar Heels (20-16) forced a turnover in the backcourt to cut the deficit to two.

East Davidson’s Amber Williamson battles Thomasville’s Heather Smith for possession of the ball in the first half of Wednesday’s CCC contest.
East girls control the pitch BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Thomasville coach Huey Turner knew East Davidson midfielder Taylor Hallman was pretty good, but he and his Lady Bulldogs got a taste of just how good she is. Hallman did not score in the Lady Golden Eagles’ 6-1 win over Thomasville at Brown Middle School Wednesday, but she did assist on three of the goals and completely shut down the Lady Bulldogs’ Joslyn Spires in the second half. “She is maybe the most dominating player in the conference,” said Turner. “She can change the swing of the game and moving her back to full-
back in the second half was a great move.” Spires put THS in front 10 minutes in, breaking away for a score past goalie Haley Grimsley. Once East put a strong mark on Spires, Thomasville had no place to go on offense and the Golden Eagles pressured at the other end of the pitch. Hallman’s long throw three minutes after the Spires goal went to the far post, where Ashley Swaim tapped it in. With four minutes and change left in the first half, Hallman was again assisting, this time hitting Nicole At-

DURHAM — Shooting struggles have been rare for Duke junior Kyle Singler since the beginning of February, but losses for his Blue Devils have been even more rare. Even on those occasions when Singler’s shots haven’t fallen, he’s made sure the rest of his game hasn’t fallen off. Witness Duke’s victory over Baylor on Sunday that advanced the Blue Devils to the Final Four: His 0-for-10 showing from the floor marked his first game without a field goal, but he held LaceDarius Dunn in check in the second half and also tied for team highs with four assists and two steals. “I couldn’t find the bucket and was struggling to score the ball, but I think it’s about having a mindset of winning, just doing whatever you can to help the team win,” Singler said. “That is about scoring, but that’s not all. “As a team, we do a great job of doing everything we have to do to win the game.” Sunday’s win advanced Duke to a date Saturday with West Virginia (8:45 p.m, WRAL). The Mountaineers are a toughminded defensive team that will throw another challenging zone at Singler, but Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski isn’t concerned about a possible carryover. “Kyle is a great player. He’s not always gonna play great,” Krzyzewski said. “A few games before that, [Jon] Scheyer was 1-of-11 and we won. In fact, he still played pretty well. “You can’t give knee-

kinson on a corner kick at the back post. “She (Hallman) sees the field so well, and I am just glad she is on my side,” said EDHS coach Paul McIntyre. Thomasville’s defense aided the first two goals of the second half for East. On the first tally, the defense played the ball to the middle of the box, and Atkinson made them pay with a shot in the corner of the frame. Then, Swaim got goal No. 2 for the evening when her weak shot from the wing somehow trickled right by THS goalkeeper Stacy Wilder. Erin Bell made it 5-1 with a goal, then Swaim picked up the hat trick scoring with just under two minutes left to make it six. McIntyre believes the
game changed the second they kept Spires in check. We had to figure out how to key in on Joslyn,” said McIntyre. “I think she is their thoroughfare, so once we were able to key in, I felt better about the game. She is explosive, and if people do not watch out they are going to regret it.” Spires got free one last time with 16 minutes left and drew a foul in the box, but as an example of how the final 70 minutes of the game went for the Bulldogs, Alex Solis missed the penalty kick. “We just didn’t finish,” said Turner. “When Stacy let the ball go between her legs, that was like the white flag for everybody else, because later Alex missed a penalty kick and she never does that.” East is 3-5-1 for the year, 2-0 in the Central Carolina Conference. THS dips to 2-4, 0-2.

syth lefty Wes Helsabeck was equally as strong on the mound, striking out Thorburn for the final out as he completed the complete-game three-hitter with 14 strikeouts. That exemplified the day Ledford had at the plate, where making contact did not come easy. “One, he is left handed and two, he changed speeds beautifully,” Smith said of Helsabeck. “It is something we have to do a better job at and take a better approach.”
Scoreless through five, Ledford broke through for a run in the sixth with Colyn starting a rally. He singled to center then stole second, and was then pinch-ran for by Josh Kearns. Victor Zecca moved him up 90 feet with a groundout to short, then Josh Phillips brought him home with a grounder to second. The one run would proved to not be enough, which left Ledford at 2-1 in the league instead of 30. The Vikings improved
to 3-1 in the MPC. “We have got to go back to work offensively,” said Smith. “Their pitcher had us off-balance all day, but you tip your hat to him and it was a great game all-around.” Shelton had two hits on the day breaking up the no-hitter in the fifth. Connolly struck out seven for the day. Sports Editor Zach Kepley can be reached at 888-3631, or at kepley@tvilletimes.com.

SPORTS REACH From page 7 and Drew countered on the other end with a right-handed layup to tie the score at 59 with 55 seconds to play. James had a chance to give URI the win but missed two free throws, and Drewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final shot of regulation was no good. The Rams missed five of six free throws in the final two minutes of regulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel those kind of the situations is what I was bred for,â&#x20AC;? Drew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the reason why I came here. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to have the ball in my hands in those situations.â&#x20AC;? Will Graves opened the overtime period with his first 3-pointer of the game, but back-to-back layups by URI (26-10) gave the Rams a 65-63 lead with 3:33 to play. Tyler Zeller then made a layup and ensuing free throw, and Deon Thompson added a pair of free throws to give the Tar Heels a three-point lead. Keith Cothran, who led the Rams with 23 points, then scored a layup to cut the deficit to one, but that would be the final points URI would score. The Tar Heels did not execute the final two minutes perfectly, but offensive rebounding and an out of bounds call on the Rams under their basket allowed UNC to keep possession with 42 seconds to play. Drew ended up with the ball back in his hands, but he missed a shot with four seconds to play and the ball was tipped back out to URI. As the final frantic seconds ticked off the clock Lamonte Ulmer and Will Graves both tried to get possession of the ball, and Ulmer ended up on the floor, but no foul was
called as the final buzzer went off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I got hand on the ball,â&#x20AC;? Graves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to dive on the floor when it was rolling and just do what a regular Carolina player would do.â&#x20AC;? So did Graves think there was any contact with Ulmer? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No comment.â&#x20AC;? A jumper by Ulmer tied the score at 10 five minutes into the game, but two straight buckets by Zeller kickstarted a 13-7 UNC run. But after Rhode Island coach Jim Baron called a timeout after Dexter Strickland went the length of the court for a layup and a 23-17 lead, the Tar Heels faltered. Over the last nine minutes of the first half UNC recorded six of their nine first-half turnovers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including five during a 2:43 stretch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scored just two field goals and missed four free throws. And with a 1:47 to play in the first, URI took its first lead since the opening minutes when Keith Cothran made a layup and ensuing free throw for a 28-27 advantage. A pair of free throws by Ulmer pushed the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to three, but Thompson responded for UNC. The senior hit a layup and ensuing free throw with 32.6 seconds remaining in the half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eight minutes after he made the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last field goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Rams turned the ball over on the other end as the score was tied at 30 at the break. Note: Deon Thompson played his 151th collegiate game Tuesday, which tied the NCAA record for career games play. Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wayne Turner (1996-99) and Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walter Hodge (2006-09) have also share the record.
Oak Hollow to host boat drag racing TIMES STAFF REPORT HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The High Point Junior Chamber (Jaycees) and Lucas Oil Products are proud to announce, the Oak Hollow Boat Drags â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thunder at Oak Hollow, which are scheduled for July 23-25, 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Top Fuel Hydro Drag Boats travel the liquid quarter mile in less than 4.5 seconds at speeds of 270 miles per hour,â&#x20AC;? said Troy Powell, Project Coordinator. According to the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau, the 2009 Oak Hollow Boat Drags pumped $1.2 million into the local economy and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we foresee an increased return with the expansion of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event,â&#x20AC;? said Troy Powell. In 2009, Lucas Oil Products formed a new drag boat sanctioning organization, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series.â&#x20AC;?

This will probably be the most exciting time for the sport of drag boat racing, and Lucas Oil Products is equally excited about
establishing this positive direction for the future of the sport.â&#x20AC;? This event will kick off at the Oak Hollow Golf Course on July 22, 2010 with the 1st Annual Oak Hollow Boat Drags Golf Classic. It will be a Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice event with four player teams in which one of the players will be a celebrity.

A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anniversary A short stay
Do you love to read? If so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably read at least one of Laura Ingalls Wilderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books about her life in pioneer America. This year, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little House on the Prairie.â&#x20AC;? This week, The Mini Page learns more about Laura and her books.
In July 1870, the U.S. Congress ordered the Osage Indian Reserve to be sold. The tribe moved to a reservation in Oklahoma. Also that year, the Ingalls family heard from the man who had bought their land in Wisconsin. He no longer wanted the land. The family was not happy with how things had gone in Kansas, so they decided to move back to Wisconsin.
Little girl on the prairie Laura was born in Wisconsin on Feb. 7, 1867. Her family moved around a lot when she was a child. When Laura was just 2 years old, her family moved from Wisconsin to Kansas.

The family settled in southeastern Kansas, near the Verdigris River. They lived in Rutland Township, near Independence, Kan. In 1977, researchers from the Kansas State Historical Society found the original foundation of the Ingalls home and the well dug by Volunteers built a log cabin on Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the site in Kansas using Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. descriptions from the book.
Indian territory When Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved to Kansas in 1869, they settled on the Osage Indian Reserve. Many other Native American tribes had already been forced out of Kansas. White settlers hoped the Osage would have to move to Oklahoma, opening up the land in Kansas for farming.
Although Laura was only a toddler when her family lived in Kansas, her parents and her older sister, Mary, shared with her many of the adventures found in the book. The story of this part of her life became one â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little House on the of the most was Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved books Prairieâ&#x20AC;? third book.

Supersport: Tracy Porter Height: 5-11 Weight: 186
from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick
Birthdate: 8-11-86 Hometown: Port Allen, La.
Peyton Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass was spiraling toward an Indianapolis receiver. But then, New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defensive back Tracy Porter snagged the ball in mid-air and raced 74 yards for a touchdown. That super play clinched a 31-17 Super Bowl win for New Orleans. Two weeks earlier, in a conference championship game, Porter had a key interception that helped the Saints beat the Minnesota Vikings. Tracy has a knack for stealing the ball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the spotlight. During a standout career at Indiana University, he intercepted 16 passes and made 212 tackles. A second-round NFL draft pick in 2008, he cracked New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting lineup as a rookie. He also has suffered several injuries along the way. But these days football life is downright heavenly for Porter, the Saints and their celebrating fans.
Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life A new way of life
Moving on Have you always lived in the same place? Some kids move around a lot with their families, and others stay in one area for their whole life. Charles Ingalls, Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, worked at many different jobs. He raised crops and animals, worked as a carpenter, and hunted animals for meat and fur to sell.
Back in Wisconsin After the Ingallses moved back to Wisconsin, many other settlers began to arrive in the area. Charles, whom Laura called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pa,â&#x20AC;? wanted to live where neighbors werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so close by. When Laura was 7 years old, the family climbed into their covered wagon and started west, toward Minnesota.
When Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father came back, he was ready to move again. The family went to Burr Oak, Iowa, to work in a hotel in town. Laura and Mary washed dishes and did other chores. But they missed the prairie, so after two years in Iowa, they headed back to Walnut Grove. Soon they followed Pa to Dakota Territory, where he had found a job with the railroad. He promised they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move again.
A helpful sister A home in a hillside Near the town of Walnut Grove, Minn., the family stopped along Plum Creek. Their first home there was hollowed out of a hillside, with a roof made of sod. Later, Pa built a house for them and planted wheat in their fields. Laura and Mary loved going to school in Walnut Grove. But after grasshoppers destroyed the wheat crop, Pa had to travel far away to find work.
Mary had lost her eyesight during a long illness. After school, Laura would come home and repeat her lessons to Mary so that she could keep up with her education.
Laura grows up At 15, Laura became a teacher. She also fell in love with Almanzo Wilder, and they married when she was 18. She and Almanzo had a daughter, Rose, and a son who died soon after he was born. The Wilders spent most of their lives in Missouri. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick

A Life in Books Laura was in her 60s when she decided to write about her childhood. She was 68 when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little House on the Prairieâ&#x20AC;? was published in 1935. Her daughter, Rose, helped her with much of the writing and editing. The Mini Page provides a description of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Houseâ&#x20AC;? books about her life.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Farmer Boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; In this book, Laura tells the story of her husband, Almanzo Wilder, as he grows up on a farm in New York.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the Banks of Plum Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Ingallsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sod home and their challenges in Minnesota are part of this tale of Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time near Walnut Grove, Minn.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Long Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Ingalls familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time in Dakota Territory continues. This book is about the blizzards of 1880-81, when no food or other supplies could be brought in by train.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Town on the Prairieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; This book tells the story of Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first job sewing shirts, and her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to save money to send Mary to the College for the Blind in Iowa.
The Mini Page thanks William Anderson, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prairie Girl: The Life of Laura Ingalls Wilderâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pioneer Girl: The Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder,â&#x20AC;? for help with this issue.
All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These Happy Golden Yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; In this book, Laura begins her teaching job 12 miles outside of De Smet. Soon Almanzo Wilder is bringing her home to see her family at the end of each week in his horse-drawn sleigh, and their friendship grows into love.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The First Four Yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Laura and Almanzo marry and settle on the South Dakota prairie. This book tells the story of the birth of their daughter, Rose, and the challenges the young family faced as pioneers.
A letter from Laura Sometime after Almanzo died, Laura wrote a letter to children. We share part of it here: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; books are stories of long ago. Today our way of living and our schools are much different; so many things have made living and learning easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the real things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with the simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.â&#x20AC;? Next week, The Mini Page is about those mysterious water towers you see in every town.

“We had a lot of wind and rain and [the news] said a second one was on the way and heading down the same path,” Carol Krawiec said. “Dan heard that and went to the kitchen door and that’s when we heard the noise. He sort of pushed me in the room, shut the door and it started immediately.” The couple huddled up in a pantry underneath the stairs as the tornado rolled by. Once the storm passed, the Krawiec’s came out and sensed the damage. Concern turned to fear when they realized a second floor bathtub fell on gas lines outside their once two-story home. Dan Krawiec asked Coble if there was any way the area could be declared a natural disaster and that this is a time when Americans need to help Americans. “Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated,” Dan Krawiec told Coble. “A lot of times we have a stigma in this country that when an American needs help you’re lazy or something. That’s not the case.” Coble’s final stop of the day was at 1100 Elmwood Ave. where one of his interns, Stephanie Blair, lives. The Blair’s residence looked like a model from a movie set. The front of the house looked nor-
RELIEF From page 1 asked to clean up debris, so anyone with access to a chainsaw is needed. Sunday’s tornados left a massive trail of fallen trees, snapped limbs and scattered household items behind and a community trying to make sense of it all. Some of the hardest hit areas in High Point occurred in the northern part of town around West Wendover Drive near Hartley Drive, Highway 311, Old Plank Road and Johnson Street. “I’ve been here for 18 years and have never seen anything like this before,” said Steele. “It’s new to me and a lot of the guys. The path kind of looks like a boomerang. It’s a pretty good-sized area.” HPPD has assigned an additional 25 officers to the affected areas in an
mal at first glance. Upon closer inspection, what was left was anything but normal. The second story of the home actually turned nearly 180 degrees until the back part fell, sending Stephanie’s bedroom crashing to the ground. Stephanie wasn’t home when the storm hit, something her father is very thankful for. “Stephanie’s room fell off the back of the house,” said Dan Blair, who was home alone with the family dog. “The tornado scooted the back of the house off. I thought ‘Oh my god, I’m going to die.’ It ran straight through us. There was a vacuum and it suffocated me. I heard something moving so I lifted my head up and the top of the house hit me in the head. I almost was decapitated. A pole from a trampoline came through the window and stuck into the headboard where my wife would’ve been sleeping.” Coble said the Federal Emergency management Association is coming to view the destruction today and it will be up to Raleigh to initiate whether the area will be declared a natural disaster. Coble said he was amazed how positive the people all were and how determined they were to rebuild in the face of such devastation. “It’s a nightmare and a disaster,” said Coble. “The city of High Point has handled it as well as it can be done.”
effort to secure neighborhoods and limit traffic to just homeowners. Surrounding law enforcement agencies also have volunteered their time to help in the clean up process. High Point-Thomasville Chapter of the Red Cross also is assisting tornado victims. Ken Weeman, chairman of emergency services and director of the recovery, said the Red Cross is doing client assistance, offering services to homeowners displaced by the tornados in the form of a security deposit or one month’s rent as people try to find a new place to live. “Some people are starting to go back to their homes,” Weeman said. “Right now, it seems to be going fairly smooth. There are very few reported injuries. Our
main concern is that people have a roof over their head, food and clothing. We try to help people get back to as close to normal as we possibly can.” The Red Cross is working closely with the Salvation Army, FEMA, Davidson County Emergency Management and other local companies like Lowes Foods and Food Lion, which are donating necessities such as water and food. Surrounding chapters of the Red Cross also are helping in the relief effort. The Red Cross also is supplying clean-up kits to affected homeowners. Anyone in need of assistance can call 906-4341 or 885-9121. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

proud of Alison because of her outstanding academic achievements and campus leadership,” said Rittling, DCCC President. “Our faculty and staff are to be commended for helping prepare and guide students such as Alison who represent DCCC so well.” Castillo is a May graduation candidate for the Associate of Applied Science degree and has a 4.0 grade point average. She hopes her degree will allow her to become a professional zookeeper specializing in the care and keeping of primates. Her love of apes and chimpanzees began in Africa when she volunteered at an animal sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo near where her husband was stationed for his military service. “A passion for great apes was ignited, burning steadily through my
RUBBLE From page 1 was that while everyone was out here picking up cinderblocks, the little boy who lost his home came and helped load them all day. That’s what kind of people are here.” And residents of the small neighborhood realize how easily it could’ve happened to them. “It’s a bad feeling that their [home] is gone and ours is still here,” said neighbor Tony Lasater. “I feel blessed, but sad at the same time.” Just a few miles from Valley Mobile Home Park, Rodney Craven and friend Jerry Kennedy were sifting through the remains of Craven’s mother’s garage on West Lexington Avenue. It was the same tornado that ripped the attached garage from its foundation and shuffled it into the back yard destroying most everything inside. Trees lay throughout the yard like fallen dominos and a blue tarp covers the holes left in the roof from wind and debris. Craven or his mother weren’t home at the time of the storm, but he was called by a neighboring cousin after the tornado passed. “We just happened to be away and I’m glad we weren’t here,” Craven, who grew up in the house, said. “This is unbelievable. I‘ve never seen anything like this.” Now, all those families affected by Sunday’s string of tornados are beginning the next phase of the nightmarish experience — sifting through the damage and salvaging any personal items that remain. “It’s just overwhelming,” Craven said. “There’s so much stuff to do, it’s hard to know where to start.” Editor Lisa Wall can be reached at 888-3590, or at editor@tvilletimes.com.

She will be among 57 other community college student honorees from across North Carolina, one from each of the 58 community colleges. The Excellence Event is held each year to celebrate student achievement and recognize some of the most talented of
the almost 900,000 students attending North Carolina’s community colleges each year. Guests expected to attend the event include members of the State Board of Community Colleges, Dr. Scott Ralls, President of the N.C. Community College System and members of the N.C. General Assembly.
