Experience taught great lesson, former sheriff says

Ribbon cutting celebrates NewBridge Bank opening

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

NewBridge Bank in Thomasville handed out two pieces of good news for the price of one Thursday morning on Randolph Street.

Just a few hundred feet from where NewBridge opened in Thomasville more than two decades ago, the bank celebrated the launch of a new office at 919 Randolph St. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new two-story facility not only marked the end of NewBridge’s stay at its original building, but the beginning of a promise the bank made to Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce.

“We are very happy to be part of this area and part of this city,” Tony Hyde, the Thomasville City executive for NewBridge Bank, said. “Twenty-three years ago this month we moved into the building next door. It’s only fitting that we unveil this building to the city. We are ecstatic to open our new Randolph Street location as we donate the former office to the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce.”

As part of an economic development plan called “Thomasville on the Move,” NewBridge Bank donated the building to the chamber, which in turn will transform the structure into its new home. Pressley Ridgill, CEO of NewBridge Bank, presented chamber president Doug Croft and Keith Tobin, chamber chairman, the keys to the building at 941 Randolph St., officially starting a process that should change the face of Thomasville business for the foreseeable future.

“This is an exciting time,” said

Croft said the chamber will start the transformation process immediately and the project is expected to take between eight to 10 months.

Hopes are the new Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce will be a more attractive headquarters for the organization, resulting in a better tool to lure prospective businesses to the city. “Thomasville on the Move” is a five-year, four-part strategic plan initiated by the chamber as a way to re-invest back to the city and make it a more viable option for businesses.

Part of the plan included moving

Republican candidates have different views for job creation Staff Writer With budget cuts looming from the state government, jobs still remain a top concern. And the five Republican candidates for Davidson County Board of Commissions who didn’t attend the April 9 commissioners forum were all eager to address the issues.

Many ideas for revitalizing the economy in Davidson County stemmed from using resources already in the area.

“We need to get together as a county and take an inventory of what we have available and how we can promote those assets to bring jobs and tourism to Davidson County,” said Dwight Cornelison, Lexington resident and former Thomasville City Council member.

Cornelison pointed to High Rock Lake and the Chair City Cruisers — a group that showcases an-

When it comes to Gerald Hege, there seems to be no middle ground. Much like Dale Earnhardt Sr., a man he willingly compares himself to, people either love him or hate him — and Hege understands that.

Hege “That’s just the way it is with me,” Hege said.

The 61-year-old former sheriff of Davidson County, who was removed from office six years ago, has returned to the political scene with hopes of regaining the position that made him a national persona. Only this is not the same Hege from years past. The meteoric crash that ended with him pleading guilty to two felony obstruction of justice counts has left its mark and resulted in a changed man who wants one last shot at redemption.

“You learn from it and I’ve learned from it,” said Hege of his conviction. “Whether I win the election or not, I’ve been a better person in the last eight years and a different person. You look at life differently. I don’t blame anyone for it or any of that.

What happened to me, I took it on the chin and lost a lot.”

Hege’s impact on the Republican primary for sheriff of Davidson County can not

Hot pink walls with an accent of zebra screams a fashion statement.

And Tip, Toes, & Tans, Too definitely wanted to make a statement when it changed location from West Main Street to 5 Commerce St. “It’s very girly,” said owner Lori Falls. “It’s very feminine.”

The new building used to be a pet-grooming place, and the 10-year-old nails, pedicure and massage company came in to give the building itself a makeover.

“We pretty much gutted the inside of it,” Falls said.

“We re-did everything.”

That drastic overhaul of the building’s aesthetics

earned Tip, Toes & Tans, Too the Beautification Committee’s honorary Business of the Month for April.

“It really looks nice now,” said Carol Brown, director of the committee.

And Falls says she can already feel the difference between the old and the new.

“The other site was white,” she said. “This is much more vibrant. And just being able to see out and having windows — we love the street.”

That brighter, less restricted feel seems to have impacted customers as well.

Falls said people have commented on the new look and the new atmosphere.

“It is more open,” she said. “They say it’s more welcoming.”

FROM PAGE A1 LESSON From page A1 be understated. Ever since he made his intentions to run for office known, Hege’s presence transformed the primary into a battlefield, where lines are drawn in the sand between those who want him back and those who want nothing to do with him.

To Hege, it’s all part of the process. “The reward for me is just being out there,�

Hege said. “I’m a people person. The difference between [candidates] is that I love this stuff. I get goosebumps just talking about it. I love going out there and talking to people and putting up yard signs.�

With less than two weeks to go before the May 4 primary, Hege is feeling pretty good job about his chances, especially with 4,800 yard signs throughout the county. Considering incumbent sheriff David Grice and challenger Terry Price combined for slightly more than 5,000 votes four years ago, Hege feels simple math tells him he has a shot. “Everybody has read every article, seen the media and read the affidavits for seven years, and you still get 4,800 people who are saying that this guy, regardless of his warts, was a dag gum good crime fighter,� said Hege. “I’ve been to 840 some houses since August, going door to door.

I sit right in their living room and I say here I am, I’m Gerald Hege, ask me anything about my life, my sheriffing, the charges, the affidavits. “The only reason why Price and Grice don’t

have 4,800 yard signs out there is that those people haven’t called them.

People aren’t saying sheriff Grice bring me a yard sign or Terry Price bring me a yard sign. If they were, they would be there. They’re not going to not bring someone a sign. With this amount of time left, they’re going to have to get a lot of phone calls.�

Hege knows politics and understands the game. In his eyes, one yard sign is worth more than 50 signs on the side of the road. Hege catalogs all of his yard signs, knowing what sign should be in what yard. If he sees a sign at a right of way, he collects it, finds out who it belongs to and tries to return it. If the person doesn’t want the sign, he takes it home.

A key factor that seems to side with Hege is that his supporters have already made up their mind and will vote for his return regardless. Those wanting to keep him out will have to select Price or Grice, odds Hege will take. “Mathematically, my people have one choice, their people have two,� said Hege. “They’re in a position where they’re fighting each other.

They’ve spent their entire three months now campaigning against me when they should’ve been campaigning for the job for sheriff.�

Hege has managed to keep a pretty low profile during his campaign in an effort to avoid trading jabs through the media.

This comes from the time he spent under intense scrutiny for his transgressions and the impact it had on he and his family. Going through that left Hege thinking more about how words affect

the lives of others. “I learned that before you call somebody a scumbag or a lowlife, you need to sit back and think about No. 1 why did that person do that, what caused that person to do that and how did that affect his family,� said Hege. “That’s why I haven’t said anything abut Price or Grice because after my ordeal, it hurt my family 100 times more than it hurt me, which was bad. I have no hard feelings towards none of these guys.�

What Hege will say is that while he respects Grice, having known him for more than 40 years, the current sheriff doesn’t enjoy the campaign process, and if he really was doing a good job in the public’s eyes, neither challenger would defeat him. Hege recalls winning a primary shortly after three of his officers went to prison, something that normally would destroy a campaign, yet he still managed to garner more than 8,000 votes in an easy victory.

Hege did face more than a dozen felony charges and was accused of indiscretions involving racial profiling, reckless use of his famous spider car and embezzlement.

Having served his punishment, though, Hege believes it’s time for his second chance, despite efforts by some to remove his name from the ballot on the grounds he is a convicted felon, therefore can not be in the custody or care of firearms. “It all goes back to the constitution,� Hege said. “The guys that wrote the constitution realized that 80 percent of people are going to make mistakes at some point in their lifetime and you can’t punish everybody for life, unless

OPENING From page A1 the chamber from its Main Street location to a new and improved building called the “First Impression Business Center� that will offer clients more work space and meeting rooms. “Thomasville on the Move� raised more than $1 million from local donors. “I want to thank NewBridge for their confidence and investment into our community,� Tobin said. “This is such a great facility. As a chamber, we want to make sure we do things right. It’s not only the facility but what happens in that facility that is going to make a difference in our community.�

NewBridge’s new twostory facility is 6,000 square feet and offers an expanded teller line, five drive-through banking lanes and will be managed by Carolyn Charette.

The branch at 725 National Highway will close on June 25 and all staff will merge into the new location.

it’s a capital offense. “When I used to have my show on Court TV, I ended the show every night the same way. I would say ‘look guys you made a mistake, you’re in here and you’re ready to get out. Go on back out and get a job, get squared away. I’ll even help you get a job.’ I have no reservations about running for sheriff because the constitution allows me that. I didn’t like the fact [president] Bill Clinton lied to Congress and the American people about that woman, but he came out, as bad as I hate to say this, one of the best presidents of my lifetime.

Coming from an old diehard southern Republican, that’s hard to say. I’m a firm believer that when you make a mistake you should be punished for it and be serious about it.�

Win or lose, Hege said this is probably it for him running for public office, feeling that despite keeping himself in good shape, he is getting too old for the process. He said he may consider a run for county commissioner some day, but isn’t sure. As a self-described field general who was once called a “mailbox-tomurder sheriff � for his vigilance to all crimes, the Vietnam veteran can’t see himself behind a desk.

Come May 4, just how many people love Hege and how many don’t will determine the Republican candidate. Hege wouldn’t have it any other way.

Computer nightmares UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

Sometimes computers can drive me absolutely insane! For example, losing my pointer, being in the middle of writing an important document and the computer says, “Goodbye!� Writing a note to a friend and it ends up in La-La Land, never to be found again.

Being online and the computer decides it’s time to update. Writing a document and getting ready to send and instead you delete it! Of course, I should have had sense enough when I start to hit the save button. You are in a very important discussion with a friend, and you get thrown offline. Or, beginning to write something and the words get all twisted up and you can’t even read it when

it is completed. The list could go on and on, but I will stop with this. This makes me think of a story I read once about a big computer blunder.

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particular icy, snowy winter.

They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, and his wife flew down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so being a good husband, he decided to send his wife an e-mail.

However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and, without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. Now to me this a very devastating time in anyone’s life and my heart goes out to them!

He was a minister who had a heart attack and died. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she screamed, got hysterical, and began to run around the room and fainted, dead as a door nail in the middle of the living room floor!

Well, “Uncle Bill,� would react the same way if this happened to me! The widow’s son rushed into the room and saw the computer screen which read: To: My Loving Wife Subject: I’ve Arrived Date: October 16, 2004 I know you are surprised to hear from me.

They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. I understand that you will arrive around 11 a.m.

I will meet you then!

Looking forward to seeing you. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine!

P.S. It sure is horribly hot down here!

Take care, be good, and if you see me driving my PT Cruiser around town, give me a honk a wave or a hollar.

OPINION

Thomasville Times MICHAEL B. STARN Publisher mstarn@hpe.com • LYNN WAGNER Advertising Director lwagner@hpe.com

LISA M. WALL Editor editor@tvilletimes.com • ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor tvillesports@yahoo.com

Letters to the Editor To the Editor Lord, please send us leaders who know and live in your Spirit of truth and grace, so that the dilemmas of the common man all over the world may be resolved, as your world, will and way have long ago, and to the day, revealed so clearly for all who hunger, seek, discover and want to do it.

A case in point, among a good baker’s dozen of major gut issues, is the the corruption of Social Security as one reliable undergirding of our economy. Too many take pot shots at Social Security and want to further cripple or destroy it without understanding the perspective into which it was born and continues to benefit the maintenance of democratic freedom.

It was never a gift of government for whomever elected or appointed officials might be to spread around to solicit votes for the immorally ambitious.

It was mandated by law that all citizens pay into it for their possible future need in retirement years. It was established, at least presented so, for retirement needs and no other, not gifts to those who did not pay into it, and only according to the amounts paid in.

Yet, it has been bastardized by criminal control of Congress who annually rip off the original trust by embezzling from it with IOUs, additional taxes, welfare doles, illegal immigrant support, et al. It was not designed as a congressional emergency fun. Annually, this embezzlement by Congress of the balance of funds not needed to pay “earned” supplements to current year retirees is spent, essentially, on pork barrel items galore, rather than as intended as an additional deposit for future needs into what has long been know as “The Trust Fund.”

The big question is: into who “trust” is it placed, and when will it be paid back, so there will be no foreseeable need to revise further one of the great dreams of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to stabilize the future of America?

Even now, the search for funds to reduce our national debt and not add further to it has many eyeing not the non-existant embezzled “trust fund,” but how further to tax and reduce payouts to the citizens who faithfully paid into this national trust.

And it was not for the capricious squandering on every unnecessary nuance dreamed up by Big Pharma that usually is a criminal invention that promised by every deception known to man what it cannot deliver (and what food supplements can). Medicare, like most titles seeking to delude

the public, is a multi-headed economic monster controlled

by Big Pharma’s exorbitant greed, reaching deeper in to the pockets of all citizens, probing the ultimate fear of man for life and health. It is probably the major cause for the crippling of our economy by bankrupting many small businesses until larger businesses could more easily default and reward their senior executives with pay-offs that stagger the mind and further destroy the reasonable American dream.

Sept. 11, has appeared to many the trigger causing our economic break-down, but it has been only a scapegoat to cover free trade failure.

Finally, our economy cannot be restored without equalizing free trade by nationally imposing tariffs and allowing market conditions too reestablish indigenous needs, which can bring industries and jobs back to each nation accordingly and trade as mutually desired, thus reducing the hunt for taxes from Social Security because of rebuilding our citizen’s “monetary commodity-exchange circles.”

Where are our visionary young patriots today?

Wayne G. Wegwart Lexington

To the Editor Moderating candidate forums here for over three decades allowed me to get to know hundreds of politicians and political wannabes.

This year, reading letters to the newspapers and attending candidate forums has been an eye opener.

Looking closely at the candidates seeking the seat of Sixth District incumbent Howard Coble, you realize that the voters don’t know how lucky they are and have been to have Howard as our representative.

Howard Coble is not only our Congressman, he is our representative. He works for us.

Howard Coble is accessible. When you need him he is there to help you navigate the federal bureaucracy.

He is there for us and he and his staff can make things happen. I know of many examples but a personal one tells the story. We had planned a family vacation, the first in over 25 years. One son forgot to renew his passport.

Howard and his staff made it happen. We got the passport and enjoyed the family trip.

We need Howard Coble in Washington. We need him to represent us. We know what he believes in. A vote for Howard Coble on May 4 will be an investment in our future. We have had enough “change.”

Spring travels and other this-n-thats THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Gayle and I celebrated our 38th anniversary on the 9th of April. I am a lucky man.

She’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Early in our plans to celebrate our anniversary, we decided to visit historic Savannah.

If you haven’t been to Savannah, plan to do so soon.

It is a beautiful historic town especially during the spring when all the azaleas are in bloom. Buy your ticket and board one of those “sight seeing” trolleys and see all the historic places. Then go down by the river and just sit and relax, “people watching” as we did. By the way there is no shortage of good eating places, also there seems to be no shortage of folks taking a vacation because of high gas prices or unemployment as the highways were packed and Savannah had lots of tourists.

Gayle had planned our itinerary for the trip. Our son Keith and daughter-in-law Pat had visited Bonaventure Cemetery and told us this was one place we didn’t want to miss. Boy, am I glad we went there. Oak trees that are hundreds of years old covered in Spanish moss, thousands of azaleas in bloom while we were there. Massive monuments and sculptures made this 160-acre cemetery unbelievably beautiful.

I suppose many of you may recall Johnny Mercer, one of America’s most popular song writers. He wrote more than one thousand lyrics, received four Oscars and produced several Broadway shows. He was Co-Founder of Capitol Records. His family plot had a bench with a silhouette of him with his signature.

Engraved on the bench were the titles of 14 of his most famous songs including: “The Days of Wine and Roses.”

“Hooray for Hollywood,”

“Laura.” “Moon River,” “Autumn Leaves,” Blues in the Night” were a few.

There is also a bronze statute of Mercer on one of the town squares.

Clint Eastwood featured the Bonaventure Cemetery when he directed the movie, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

There is a lot of history in Savannah. We plan to go back again to see the many things we didn’t see this time.

••• We attended the Communities in Schools of Thomasville fundraiser and presentation of “Dancing in the Moonlight” this past Saturday night at the home of Dr. David and Jane Williams.

The Tom Holladay Orchestra provided the music for dancing and listening pleasure.

Pepper Moon Catering provided the delicious food.

Communities in Schools of Thomasville performs an outstanding service for the children of Thomasville by “Helping Kids Stay in School and Prepare for Life.” If the event is held again next year, we plan to attend. Hope you will consider it too!

••• I have learned that several Thomasville veterans were able to fly to Washington last Saturday as a part of the “Flight of Honor” program.

Winfred Armentrout, John Cranford, Curry Regan, Glenn Leonard, and Roger Boles traveled to Washington from PTI and spent the day in the nation’s capital.

I have been impressed with TV News coverage of the veterans as they visit the WWII Memorial and other sites in Washington. I would love to be at the airport when these veterans return from these trips and to give them thumbs up and a salute.

Editor Lisa Wall has indicated that the Times will assemble a special Memorial Day insert for inclusion in the Saturday, May 29 edition.

Included in that Saturday edition will be interviews with “Flight of Honor” participants as well as other Memorial Day stories and interviews and information on the “North Carolina Memorial Day Parade” to be held here at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 31.

••• The 7th annual Spring Daze event is sponsored by Thomasville City Beautifica-

tion Committee, a group of volunteers who oversee the beautiful flowers around the city, & various other projects. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 1 from 9 a.m until 3 p.m. on Main Street, rain or shine.

This year will be the largest year yet with more than 80 spaces filled with flowers, plants, vegetables, garden accessories, outdoor furniture, outdoor building, pottery, jewelry and more. The food vendors will be in the depot parking lot with a great selection of food, and in the bandstand will be music by New Wine, Forty Days, Kelly Craver, Shining Light Singers and The Gospel Sensations.

There is something for everyone: for the children there will be the Smoke House by Fair Grove Fire Dept, the Thomasville Fire Dept. & Thomasville Police Dept. will provide info, other vendors will offer face painting, free items and activities.

The Davidson County Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer any question and provide information, The Farmers Market will be selling strawberries and the Davidson Soil and Water Conservation will have education on “No-till gardening.”

The Beautification Committee has new postcards of Thomasville’s Big Chair and Thomasville for sale at their booth. All proceeds will go toward the work of City Beautification.

The Beautification Committee’s Litter Sweep continues this morning at 9 a.m.

You don’t have to be a member of the Committee to help.

I picked up litter in the East Davidson area on Earth Day (this past Thursday) since I was going to be out of town today. But, I’m not through yet. I picked up 387 cans, plastic and glass bottles from the roadside in an area about the length of two football fields. That didn’t included “Fast Food” Wrappers; cigarette packs and other litter.

We’ve got to do better than this. I imagine a citation to court for littering might make a difference. How about it Sheriff Deputies, Police Officers and State Troopers.

FROM PAGE A1 VIEWS From page A1 tique cars in Thomasville.

“I’d like to see the county get behind that and make it more wellknown,” Cornelison said.

“I think we’ve got to look at our county and see what all we’ve got available.”

Joseph Byerly, of Lexington, also emphasized capitalizing on events already in the county, such as the Barbecue Festival.

“We definitely have to have more tourism to help this county,” Byerly said.

New to the political scene, Byerly also says that offering a slight tax benefit to new businesses for the first two years will help get companies on their feet.

Todd Yates, of Lexington, focused more on recruiting new companies to the county, emphasizing what he referred to as the county’s biggest assets, Interstate-85.

“I’d like to get some sewer and water out there to promote business,” Yates said.

A business-owner himself — he owns Yates Disposal as well as a bridge building company and a grating and paving company — Yates says he understands the woes of small businesses. A year ago his company employed 40 people. Now it employees 15. “Things are just really tough out here right now,” he said.

Yates said that he has a few connections in the business community that may be able to bring in new companies. If the other business owners in the area put their heads together, he said, they may be able to come up with more.

“I’d try to get some small business owners into a small committee and try to figure out how we can move some other businesses this way,” Yates said.

Eric Osborne, of Thomasville, also emphasized the importance of bringing in new companies.

“We should be able to recruit companies without giving incentives,” Osborne said in an e-mail. “And if we go give them incentives, we should hold companies

COMMISSIONER’S RACE Primaries are on May 4. For the commissioners’ race, citizens can vote for four Republican commissioner candidates and four Democrat commissioner candidates.

Four commissioner seats are open for the final election in November. to it and make sure they follow up on their promise to hire the number of people they said they would hire.”

Other issues Osborne says he would like to address are a flat tax rate in the county, the elimination of tax evaluations, tax breaks for active military and veterans, and no taxes for citizens over the age of 65.

Osborne also says that if elected, he will relinquish his pay.

“I am working for the people, not the party,” he said.

Cornelison says he wants to keep his eye on the prayer issue at government meetings as well as look at lowering property values.

“Our property values are way too high,” he said. “People who are doing improvements to their homes and businesses are then getting stuck with much higher evaluations than I think they should be getting.”

One couple spent $4,000 on paving their driveway, and the assessment on the house increased by $30,000, Cornelison says.

“I don’t think it’s fair,” he said. “It think it’s holding back the county.”

To remedy the situation, Cornelison suggests an increase in the discount to early payment of property tax.

Also running for county commissioner on the Republican ticket are Sam Watford, Don Truell, Owen Moore, Billy Joe Kepley, Eddie Gallimore, Kenneth Cavender and Larry Allen, who were all present at the forum on April 9.

City reports two wastewater spills TIMES STAFF REPORT

The City of Thomasville had a wastewater spill on April 20, 2010, of an estimated volume of 11,700 gallons of untreated wastewater from two manholes by the bridge on Mason Way. The cause of the spill was vandalism. An individual or individuals had placed metal fence posts and rip-rap stone into a manhole and blocked the flow of the wastewater.

The spill was called in at 7:15 a.m. that day, located at 7:28 a.m. and stopped by 8:27 am. Crews worked until noon to remove the debris that had been placed in the manhole.

Approximately 11,200 gallons of the wastewater entered North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

ing the matter. For more information, contact the City of Thomasville at (336) 475-4220.

Another spill w as reported by the city on Monday of an estimated 5,600 gallons.

According to a news release, there was a untreated wastewater spill from a sewer clean out on Carmalt Street that was found at 1 p.m. Monday by a worker looking for a water meter leak that had been called in. A jet truck was immediately dispatched and crews worked for more than an hour to clear the blockage and 45 minutes clearing debris. Unidentified solid debris in a sanitary sewer line, which blocked the normal flow through the pipe, caused the spill.

The wastewater entered North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

The Division of Water Quality is reviewing the matter.

Sports Editor WALLBURG — East Davidson has three extremely challenging Central Carolina Conference games looming over the course of the next 10 days, but needed to make sure they did not overlook winless Thomasville.

They were not overly impressive, but did do the job they needed to winning 12-2 in six innings Friday at Finch Field.

“Obviously, Thomasville did not play as well as they would have liked too, and helped us out in some situations, but they played hard to the end and that is a tribute to their coach that he does not let the kids quit,” said EDHS head coach Dan Tricarico.

East (12-5, 6-1) collected 18 hits with seven different players getting two hits.

Justin Weavil had three hits and three RBIs, Justin Mounts three hits, Keaton

Hawks three hits with a home run, Davin Lawson two hits with a 3-run homer, Justin Hulin two hits and an RBI, and Preston Gammons and Braxton Shetley each got two hits and two RBIs. Tyler Lequire (6-3) pitched five scoreless innings of two-hit ball to get the win. He faced one batter over the minimum collecting six strikeouts. Taylor Warren pitched the final inning yielding no hits but two runs.

“They are a tough team and we knew they could come out and hit the ball, which they did,” said Thomasville coach Brian Kennedy. “We just did not hit the ball again, and that was pretty much the game.”

Hawks struck for a home run to the opposite-field off the net for a 1-0 East lead in the first inning, but Thomasville held their own through two complete innings.

LHS, East battle to 1-1 tie

CHERIE JONES

Sports Editor

Outdoor Columnist

WALLBURG — Coaches like to win, but East Davidson soccer coach Paul McIntyre came into Thursday’s nonconference clash with Ledford hoping for at least a stalemate.

He got one.

Nicole Atkinson scored a goal for the Golden Eagles and Macy McCasland one for the Panthers, leading to a 1-1 tie. Due to it being a non-league game, no overtime was played.

“We came up here and just wanted to compete,” said McIntyre. “I told them the pressure is not on us, it is on them, because they beat us last game.”

Ledford indeed won the previous game 4-1, but found East to be a little better than the last time the two played.

Possession was fairly equal throughout the night, with a lot of action coming in the midfield.

It’s hard to believe it’s April already. The fish are in the water and the weather couldn’t be better. I’ve been getting prepared for this season for a couple of months now. Fishing sounds pretty simple to a kid growing up in a small town without a father figure around.

You find a long stick, a piece of string and a safety pin. Don’t laugh, you can’t tell me you weren’t just as primitive in your resourcefulness when you were a kid.

I’ll admit, the fish in the creek at the park where I tried the stick, string and pin rig were only two inches long but fishing for me was the challenge, not the meat.

When I got old enough to put real money into fishing equipment I still didn’t have the knowledge for the best stuff. I remember going to a department store and buying the package deal that came with the rod, reel, line and a small assortment of hooks and lures. I prided myself in my large selection of colored bobbers that were hand chosen one at a time and my bait of choice was the earth worm.

At the end of this

For the first five years of its existence, Greensboro Grasshopper players and staff were greeted by a 50-foot blank concrete wall as they entered or exited their clubhouse to the playing field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime I was downstairs I would look at that wall and think, it should would be nice to make it into a neat mural,â&#x20AC;? said Grasshoppers President and General Manager Donald Moore.

ROD From page B1 month I’ll be celebrating 12 years of marriage to the fish whisperer. My husband, Dick, can talk a fish into the boat without even baiting his hook. Not really, but he sure knows how to fish. During those twelve years, he’s helped me understand the importance of good quality equipment as well as the appropriate rod for all of the situations I’d be encountering.

I’ll start with my smallest rod first and then work my way up to the biggest. My seven foot ultra light Hitech rod has 100 yards of 10-pound Stren braid line on a tiny Penn 4300 reel. It’ll throw up to ¼ ounce in a pinch but does best with 1/8 and lighter lures. It’s great for Hickory shad on the Roanoke River or spin-fishing for trout and panfish. I can land a fairly good sized fish provided I have room and the fish doesn’t get tangled up with something. I can also rig this outfit with a bobber and worm or crappie minnow for pond fishing. I chose the seven foot over the normal six foot or less because it allows me to cast further and with better precision when I’m fishing with a crappie jig.

My medium weight spinning outfit is a seven foot Pflueger Medalist rod with matching reel that’ll hold 140 yards of 14-pound Fireline Fusion line that has the power to pull fish out of cover yet still allows a lot of line capacity. It handles 1/8 to ½ ounce lures easily and is easy to use. I use it in light salt water and fresh water with lures or live bait fishing. It’s pretty much my middle of the road general purpose outfit.

My casting rig for largemouth and river stripers is a 6 ½ foot Quantum rod with an Artemis small frame casting reel. It’ll hold around 110 yards of 14-pound test Stren line and handles from 3/8 to ¾ ounces comfortably and gives me more control when casting

STARTS From page B1 would be to win the most championships at Bowman Gray,” said Tim Brown. “I’m pretty much speechless.”

One of Brown’s fiercest rivals in 2009 was Burt Myers of Walnut Cove, and Myers is determined to be a contender again in 2010. In fact, many predict that Myers will be the competitor to beat this season.

Myers started off the 2009 season with an ailing car and a host of poor finishes due to mechanical problems. At the mid-point of the season, Myers installed a new Ford motor and his performance took off.

From then on, Myers won more races, led more laps, won more poles, and earned more points than any other Modified competitor, although, at that point, it wasn’t enough to overtake Brown.

“For years over here, I don’t know if I really understood how down on horsepower I was until I got this Ford motor,” said Myers. “Now the car doesn’t have to handle quite as well because I can run down

Sometimes it takes more than one rod to catch a fish. under low hanging limbs or close to the bank.

A casting reel is harder to use because of the chance of a backlash and requires a learning curve to work it well, but it’s more comfortable to use when casting a lot because of the low weight and the axis of the reel being so close to the center of the rod.

The rod is light and balanced, giving me more control yet stout enough to land a 20-pound striper if I get lucky.

It doesn’t hurt that it’s completely pink, either.

Since we live around five hours from the ocean, I have two surf fishing rods. The first is a general purpose 9-foot Tica with a Pflueger Trion reel that holds 200 yards of 14-pound Stren clear line. The rod will throw up to 4 ounces of weight plus bait and, under good conditions, I can land a 40 inch drum or striper with it. It also works great throwing metal spoons for Spanish mackerel or bluefish. This outfit is my standard weather and water surf rod and to find it on the truck rod rack easier I chose the one with pink wraps.

My other surf rod is a heavy duty, huge rod and only needed in very rough fishing conditions like those found at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The rod is a 12-foot long Tica and

the straightaway faster. I don’t want to say it makes my job easy, but it makes it a little easier. It takes a little bit of the stress off of me.”

“On starts and restarts — where I was able to just leap out in front of the field and get me a cushion — the car was just perfect. Hopefully, we can come back with the Ford and take the win in the Tucson 200,” said Myers.

This Saturday’s Tucson 200 is the longest and most prestigious race of the season for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series — and for the second year in a row, the 200-lapper will feature the infamous double-file “Choice” restart.

Each and every caution will give competitors the chance to pull up side-byside in a heated battle for position.

Added to the mix for 2010 will be a stickier outside row. With some extra tar being placed around the outer groove during the off-season, competitors taking to the outside will be able to grip the track more and travel at greater speeds. This has the potential to introduce a drastic change to strategy for restarts for the Tucson 200.

is as thick as a broom handle close to the reel seat. The Okuma spinning reel holds 250 yards of 20-pound Stren Mono gold, making it easier to see at night; that’s when most of the really big surf fish are caught.

This rod allows me to cast eight ounces plus bait around 80 yards into the surf and hold it out there in the heavy water and current. Some fishermen can cast over 150 yards but I’ll settle with my 80. The wraps on this rod are also, you guessed it, PINK. Well, I’ve got five rods and they’ve covered every fishing situation I’ve had in the last twelve years pretty successfully. My husband has 34 rods, has been fishing his whole life, and is still on the lookout for others to add to his collection. I don’t dare say anything because his comeback usually involves the amount of purses or shoes I have. I guess everybody has their own addiction to deal with.

Saturday, April 24, 2010 – Thomasville Times – B5

SPORTS BRIEFS From page B4 Greene St. Run or walk in honor of the dedicated Military Personnel & Veterans.

Registration is the day of the race from 6:30-7:30 a.m., or beforehand online at www.funfourthfestival.org.

Concealed handgun class There will be a concealed handgun class today, at the Fairgrove Fire Department. The class is from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. This class is mandatory for anyone wishing to get a concealed handgun permit. The class is covered

by Jason Livingston, N.C. certified firearms instructor and 16 years law

enforcement experience.

The class covers laws for citizens governing the use of deadly force to protect their homes, as well as deadly force laws in general as they pertain to citizens of N.C. Also, gun safety, marksmanship and fundamentals are covered and practiced during the class, with hands on range time.

To sign up for the class call Livingston at 6870290 or go by the fire department.

From page B1 Ashley Eddleman was the workhorse for the Panthers while Taylor Hallman countered for East.

Both set up teammates for first half scoring opportunities, but had no points to show for after the opening 40 minutes.

A lot of Ledford’s scoring chances were taken away due to offside penalties. It was a plan McIntyre had coming into the game that his defense executed precisely.

“Their coach was smart running an offside trap,” said LHS head coach Adam Duncan. “We were in onside position a lot of times, but that last defender was stepping up at the last second playing smart defense.”

McIntyre had a big smile on his face afterwards, as Ledford was offsides more than 10 times.

“Those girls are super fast, so that is the only thing we had and it worked,” he said.

As the clock ticked under 20 minutes, there were still a pair goose eggs on the scoreboard, but a point was about to go up as East earned a corner kick.

Haley Grimsley drove a low liner near the goal crease that slid all the way through to the back post. Atkinson placed herself into position and poked it through, putting the Eagles in the scoring column first.

“Honestly, I did not see it,” said Duncan. “I was talking to one of my players, but it had to be miscommunication.”

Eddleman kept feeding front line players McCasland and Kaitlyn Hamm the ball into free space for runs at the goal, but one or the other were constantly being called for an offside penalty.

Beginning to show a little more patience, McCasland waited for another pass from Eddleman and broke through the defense with seven minutes to go. She chipped the ball up and off the hands of goalie Addie Grubb, and the ball made its way over the line for the equalizer.

“We have a young goalie and with experience she will be tough, but she still played a great game,” McIntyre said.

Both teams had scoring chances in the closing minutes, but nothing ever found its way to the back of the net.

Ledford is 6-7-1 with East posting a 5-7-1 mark.

Sports Editor Zach Kepley can be reached at 888-3631, or at kepley@tvilletimes.com.

From page B1 They were one out away from getting out of a jam in the third with two runners on, but Davin Lawson powered the Golden Eagles to an even bigger lead. He found netting himself, blasting a 3-run shot to left field that landed on top of the batting cage, moving East out to a 4-0 cushion.

International program to launch in Davidson County TIMES STAFF REPORT

Adventure Boot Camp is coming soon to Davidson County. Ladies get ready to jump start your day with a fun and energizing workout! Perfect for the busy woman, camp meets Monday-Friday and starts at 5:30 a.m. Boot campers will meet for one hour per day for four weeks. Beginning in late April, they can choose the intensive five-day program, a four-day or a three-day program. Maggie Healy, who is a NESTA Certified Adventure Boot Camp Instructor, operates this camp.

Central Carolina Adventure Boot Camp will give a jump-start to your fitness plan in a fun and supportive environment. Don’t worry about getting bored with the monotony of a routine because every day at camp is different.

Many women have experienced results

of: 3-5 percent reductions in body fat, 5-12 pounds weight loss, 1-3-inch reduction in the midsection, and all women have experienced a 100 percent increase in confidence.

The objective of the camp is to offer the benefits of a personal trainer combined with the support of others reaching for similar goals. The accountability of a group helps the campers challenge themselves more than they would if they were working out on their own. All levels of fitness are welcome and each woman will work at her own level & will be challenged.

Adventure Boot Camp was developed in Orange County, CA by Dr. John Spencer Ellis, an internationally renowned fitness expert and author. Now, Adventure Boot Camp has finally made its way to Davidson County. Information is available at www.CentralCarolinaBootCamp.com or (336)408-4060.
