Wanted S.C. man captured in Lexington BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer A South Carolina man allegedly on the run after murdering his wife engaged in a four-hour standoff on Interstate 85 with several law enforcement agencies, including Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office, early Tuesday morning before finally surrendering. Arthur Deval Mims, 45, of 823 Terrace Creek Drive in Duncan, S.C., was wanted by South Carolina police after

authorities responded to a shooting call at his home shortly after 3:15 a.m. and found his wife’s dead body and the house on fire, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff ’s Office. Officers also found Mills’ stepdaughter, Amber Smith, suffering from gunshot wounds to her ear. Dawn Mims, 36, suffered.a fatal gunshot wound to the head, but Smith is expected to recover. Mims fled the area in his white Ford F-150, but police eventually spotted him in Cherokee County near the North

Carolina state line. The chase ensued through the Charlotte area, where officers attempted to disable Mims’ truck by using stop-sticks in an effort to blow out the tires. The sticks did flatten the tires, but Mims, who allegedly fired shots at police during the chase, kept driving north on Interstate 85 through Rowan County before finally stopping in the middle of the northbound lane between milemarkers 89 and 91 near Lexington around 5 a.m. “[Mims] had three of his four tires

knocked out but he kept coming,” Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said. “He was on the rims until he got to our county. We had to shut the interstate down because it was alleged he had a gun in the car. He entered Davidson County at around 4:53 a.m. and refused to come out.” Police halted traffic on I-85 traveling in both directions as the suspect refused to exit his vehicle. Grice said

Terry Price never really thought about being in law enforcement, the job just sort of found him. Five y e a r s ago, Price had no intentions of running for sheriff of Davidson County Price but that calling to serve found him again. With less than a week before the May 4 Republican primary, Price is hoping his experience and willingness to give Davidson County residents the change they’ve been looking for will lead him into the next phase of his life as sheriff. “We’ve taken our campaign to the people because the people brought it to me,” Price said of his run for sheriff. “I’m doing this for the needs

EXTREME ARTWORK Pittsburgh’s Jeff Pinney touches up one of his pieces that will be on display during this weekend’s chainsaw sculpting competition in downtown. A dozen carvers from across the country will be showing off their wood sculpting talents and an auction will be held Saturday at 3 p.m. for selected pieces. Main Street also will be host to Spring Daze Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved a partnership with Preservation North Carolina to move forward with an option to purchase the old post office building on South Main Street in Lexington. The building was last used by Arts United of Davidson County in May 2009 and was recommended for sale by Mike Stout, director of the northwest regional office of Preservation North Carolina, at an informational meeting on April 1. Stout told the board then that while the Colonial Drive and Cecil School sites also were marketable, the old post office offered the best opportunity in the current economic climate. The building’s vacancy also means that the county wouldn’t have to relocate any employees. “We’ve discussed this

East Coast Wings & Grill opens restaurant in Thomasville BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Fans of East Coast Wings & Grill can finally stay in Thomasville. On Wednesday, East Coast Wings & Grill opened its door at 920 Randolph St. and will bring the same atmosphere and food customers have grown to expect from the expanding franchise. “A lot of people have visited East Coast Wings, now they don’t have to drive to it,” Sam Ballas, CEO of the franchise, said. “It’s here, and it’s

home.” Co-owners D.T. and Denise Tolani wanted to open an East Coast Wings in Thomasville for several years, but had to wait their turn. In February, the couple began renovating the building and transforming it to go along with the East Coast Wings theme. “I already knew about East Coast Wings and had heard good things about it,” said D.T. Tolani. “We wanted to open two or three years ago, but technicalities prevented an immediate move. It had a good name. I was look-

ing for a franchise with a good name and good people to work with, and something that was growing. From there it just kind of took off.” In addition to the food, East Coast Wings & Grill also put 45 people to work in a community that can use new employment opportunities. Tolani said all the new employees were looking for work at the time of their hire. Ballas said East Coast Wings currently employs more than 600 people at its 13 locations across the

FOCUS Spend an evening with ‘Thelma Lou’ at DCCC TIMES STAFF REPORT Fans of the popular “Andy Griffith” television show and especially those of the show’s character “Thelma Lou” will get a chance to chat with Betty Lynn, the actress who starred as Barney Fife’s girlfriend, on May 18 at the Davie Campus of Davidson County Community College. DCCC will host “An Evening with Actress Betty Lynn” on Tuesday, May 18, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., in the Administration Building of the Davie Campus in Mocksville. Registration is $15, and seating is limited. Betty Lynn, an accomplished stage, screen and television actress, with chat with the audience, answer questions, and sign copies of her photo for those who would like a memento. When asked why she became an actress, Betty Lynn replied “because I wanted everybody to like me.” Mission accomplished. During her appearance, she will reminisce about her beloved role of Thelma Lou on the famous sitcom that ran from 1960 to 1968 before going into syndication; she appeared in 26 episodes from 1961 to 1966. Now living in Mount Airy, the hometown of Andy Griffith and the inspiration for the television town of Mayberry, Betty Lynn remains popular everywhere she goes; she will forever be etched in the public’s mind as the sweet, pretty and understanding girlfriend of the hilarious deputy, Barney Fife. On the show, Thelma Lou was an independent character who lived alone, was employed in an office, sang in the choir, and was quite self-sufficient. She was a good cook, especially when preparing one of Barney’s favorite desserts, cashew fudge. Barney and Thelma Lou went their separate ways when Barney left Mayberry to join the Raleigh police force. In the sixth season, Barney returns to Mayberry for a high school reunion hoping to get back with Thelma Lou, only to discover she is married. This was Thelma Lou’s final appearance on the series. She also appeared in the 1986 reunion movie that was made for television titled “Return to Mayberry,” where viewers learn her marriage only lasted a year before ending in divorce. Thelma Lou finally marries Barney in the movie. Betty Lynn was born August 29, 1926, in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother was a singer, and that influence helped Betty begin her career singing and dancing in many Broadway productions. After entertaining the troops with her songs at USO tent shows near the end of World War II, Betty Lynn was signed as a starlet for Twentieth Century Fox. She appeared in several popular movies where she was known as “Betty Ann Lynn” before dropping her middle name from the credits. Following Betty Lynn’s work on “The Andy Griffith Show,” she appeared in many other television shows such as

In 1986, she appeared in several episodes of “Matlock” as Andy Griffith’s secretary. Before retiring from acting, Betty Lynn returned to her beginnings as a stage actress in the 2002 play “Love Letters,” where she appeared opposite Howard Morris, who also played a Mayberry character.

County pursues three new economic development projects Two men arrested for BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer The Davidson County Board of Commissioners announced another economic development project, code-named Project L, at its Tuesday night meeting to follow on the heels of the two economic projects announced after the meeting on April 13. Project L plans to invest $3 million and provide 60 jobs during the first three years. In return, the county will offer an incentive grant of .00328 times the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment each year for five years, never exceeding $10,000 a year. The board scheduled a public hearing to discuss Project L during the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting on May 11 at 7 p.m. The other two projects have been code-named Project Heel and Project S-I. Project Heel will invest $1 million and provide 30 jobs. The county will offer an incentive package of .0027 times the investment each year for five years. Project S-I will invest $1.25 million and promises a retention of jobs in exchange for an incentive grant of .0027 times the investment each year for five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our missions is to create a tax base, and all three of these would increase the tax base,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Googe, director of the Davidson

County Economic Development Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our goals is to create jobs that are about the county average wage or better, and all three of these meet that wage category.â&#x20AC;? All three prospects are manufacturing companies. One of the businesses is a new one looking at Davidson County for the first time. One of them is an expansion that could also locate in other areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a company with multiple plant locations across the country. The other is a joint venture with another company that also has multiple location options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have opportunities to do that expansion somewhere else, so obviously we would like to have them do that here,â&#x20AC;? Googe said. The county began talking with the new company six months ago, but negotiations with the other two businesses have been going on for some time. Though only two of the companies will create immediate jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Project S-I will retaining jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Googe said that in the long-term the contracts would pay off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that investment was made here, I think in the future there would be additional jobs,â&#x20AC;? he said. And with the economy like it is, expanding the work force is a top priority for the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jobs, jobs, jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the name of the

game,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Chairman Dr. Max Walser. But the companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; investment would bring more to the area than just an immediate job fix, the chairman added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a commissioner for eight years has been a good investment for the future,â&#x20AC;? Walser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jobs are important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but generally after five years we are in the money, so to speak. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid our dues to get them there and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making money off of them.â&#x20AC;? The companies work to expand the tax base, Walser said, creating additional revenue for the county and allowing local government to keep the tax rates at a reasonable level. But the opportunity for such an investment hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come without hard work, Googe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our elected officials are very aggressive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we have a reputation of being very aggressive in recruiting and being flexible in adapting our policies and incentive packages for the customer.â&#x20AC;? Googe said that while other communities have strict formulas that punch in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment and the number of jobs it plans to create and then spit out an automated incentive package, Davidson Coun-

ty looks at more than just the figures. Some companies have approached the county saying that state tax credits donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help them because they work for or are owned by larger companies who decide how much profit the smaller business will make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A state that can be more flexible in providing cash grants and that type of thing are going to be more appealing to them,â&#x20AC;? Googe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to keep that flexibility and find out what our customers need.â&#x20AC;? Besides the aggressive recruiting efforts of EDC staff and county officials, Walser said that Davidson County is also just the place to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got literally hundreds if not thousands of people in Davidson County who know how to make furniture,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can have those skills, they translate into other manufacturing opportunities.â&#x20AC;? Other factors that contribute to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal include good skills, the proximity to large cities such as Charlotte and Greensboro, and a plethora of natural resources, Walser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people come here, they want a good place to live and to raise families,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a more attractive place than Davidson County. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great place to live.â&#x20AC;?

By working with Preservation North Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historic buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Davidson County can by-pass the public bidding process. State law allows governments to sell historic property valued at $30,000 or more through a private sales procedure with a nonprofit historical corporation. With an option to purchase in place, Preserve North Carolina will begin marketing the property to find a buyer. The option needs to last at least one year because of marketing costs. Once a buyer is found, the non-profit will buy the property from the county and minutes later sell it in a dual closing. The option to purchase allows Preservation North Carolina to place protective restrictions on the property to retain its historical integrity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an aesthetically

pleasing building,â&#x20AC;? said Chairman Dr. Max Walser, who said he remembered going to the post office as a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has some really nice architecture. Lexington has lost so many really nice houses. I just think it needs to be preserved.â&#x20AC;? The option to purchase passed Tuesday set the selling price at $556,720, the amount taken from an appraisal by the county tax office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I considered that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is that enough, is that too much,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair price.â&#x20AC;? On top of that option price, Preservation North Carolina will add a fee, which the buyer will pay to the non-profit. Commissioner Larry Potts questioned whether the old post officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic nature dictated how the property could be marketed, suggesting another venue option as commercial property.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to limit our possibilities,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get all we can for it.â&#x20AC;? Frye said that all restrictions that existed when the county acquired the property have been lifted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With regard to our ownership of the property, there are no restrictions from that standpoint,â&#x20AC;? Frye said. In other news, the board: Created a board of trustees to oversee an abandoned cemetery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; known as Mt. Pleasant Cemetery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that was discovered after Tyro Methodist Church prepared to survey and expand its existing cemetery.

marijuana possession TIMES STAFF REPORT Davidson County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office detectives with the Vice/Narcotics Unit busted two men with more than 40 pounds of marijuana near the Randolph County line. Mayco Torres Arroyo, 21, of 443 Hillary Court in Asheboro, and Miguel Gauna Aleman, 21, of 578 Hillary Court in Asheboro, are charged with two counts of trafficking marijuana following their arrest on Friday when they were caught by detectives with 44.8 pounds of pot, valued at $62,000. Arroyo also was found to be wanted by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) for being an aggravated felon who had previously been deported. Both

suspects were issued $100,000 secured bonds. Sheriff David Grice said that a new partnership between DCSO and ICE will assist in the identification of subjects like Arroyo. Grice called the program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secure Communitiesâ&#x20AC;? and said it allows DCSO to search ICE fingerprint files for matches of arrested suspects who may be wanted by other agencies. Grice said his office currently has the necessary equipment to conduct these searches and hopes to be on-line with the program by July. The program was developed in order to determine the most effective way to find the real identity of suspected illegal immigrants who have been arrested by county law enforcement agencies.

Meddlers at the Gate VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist No. Legislators never would employ crude and simplistic sloganeering like those rowdy anti-gummint protesters. Just ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who this week offered up this eloquent gem: “A party that stands with Wall Street is a party that stands against families and against fairness.” You know Wall Street; it lives to destabilize the family unit. Just scratch the surface and you’ll find 8,500 companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange and another 3,200 companies listed on Nasdaq. Nearly 50 percent of households own some form of equities, and 21 million households own individual stocks outside any employer-sponsored plan. All working together against kids and fairness. Actually, what Reid’s words reveal is an ideological disposition that is wholly unconcerned with creating a healthier Wall Street or a Wall Street scrubbed of crony capitalism and governmentproduced moral hazard. Using stale populist rhetoric, Democrats dishonestly pit families against “banks” to generate enough support to pass a fiscal reform bill. But how many voters manipulated by the fear-mongering of Chris Dodd, Reid or Barack Obama fully understand reform? I sure don’t. It’s complex stuff, no doubt. How many of us are aware that these derivatives that politicians rail against are financial tools that often allow people to hedge bets and take insurance on risk? As The New York Times recently reported, entities like Mars, the maker of M&M’s, like to dip into the derivative market to insulate themselves from fluctuating prices of sugar and chocolate. How many voters are aware that the pending Senate reform bill includes a payback to unions in the form of a “proxy access” that would allow labor to manipulate company boards? How many are

aware that the bill may give the Treasury Department the right to seize private property and businesses without any significant judicial review? How many Americans are aware that the reform bill might create a so-called “consumer protection board” that would slather another needless layer of federal red tape on a wide range of businesses — businesses, incidentally, with far less culpability in creating the housing bubble than members of the Senate Banking Committee. At the same time, the board also may ban private, voluntary arbitration agreements between consumers and financial firms. Why? How many voters are aware that the Senate reform bill would clamp down on “angel investors” — wealthy individuals who invest in startups with few regulatory guidelines. From Google to Facebook, it was angel investors who undertook the initial risk. What is appropriate risk? Well, who else but politicians and bureaucrats, both genetically disposed to avoid risk, could be better judges? That is the kind of micromanaging Washington is proposing. Would it not make more sense for government to disentangle itself from the market (and the bailouts), enhance transparency and simply enforce the rules already in place? Instead, Democrats have boiled down this intricate and wide-ranging legislation into a false choice that pits Wall Street against families. Our attention is to be diverted by a show trial of Goldman Sachs — which, as far as I can tell, is accused of betting against the housing market just as Fannie and Freddie were incentivizing failure -- to gin up anger. No crisis ever is wasted. And for those reflexively averse to risk, profit and markets, this is an opportunity like no other. We need financial reform. What we’re being offered, it seems, is another piece of command-and-control legislation fast-tracked to avoid the midterm elections — and honest discussion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Thomasville is proud of the great event that will occur May 31. Memorial Day ceremonies, the largest in the state of North Carolina, will take place in Davidson County. Thomasville can boast of its dedicated patriotism that has taken place for a number of years. Active generals, high raking military officers from Fort Bragg, retired army generals, North Carolina’s National Guard’s Commanding General and many more will be here. Also included are different military vehicles, military troops and veterans carrying 100 big American Flags from the Big Chair to the Stadium, the streets lined with people cheering and waving flags as the parade passes by. As we take part in the different and meaningful patriotic activities, listen to the many ceremonies, our heart swells with pride to be true American Citizens. The families can be proud of the commitment made by all branches of service. Our warriors on guard and ready to prove that good does triumph over evil. The fearless hearts and bodies of the United States Military both past and present gives us hope for continuous victory and freedom. Our nation instructed the troops to go where needed. They went without hesitation — land, air and sea, living and fighting in freezing bitter cold, scorching desert heat and jungles of uncertain dangers. Thomas Payne said it so well, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” Losing comrades in the line of duty, wounded, the POW’s and MIA’s along with their families, all cope with the wages of war. May God reward, bless you and keep your families in his care. Thank you veterans, all who served and sacrificed in different ways, we are proud of you. The sacrifices of your

heroism will not go forgotten. One nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Please come to Thomasville May 31, bring your families and show your patriotic spirit of grateful Americans. Van E. Brinkley U.S. Army Veteran Retired Hospital Chaplain

Dear Editor: Is Christ First? This is question each Christian should ask themselves on a regular basis. We are instructed all through the Bible to seek God first in everything. I don’t know about everybody else, but that seems to be difficult for me at times. It is so easy to let self get out front. When we put ourselves out front, we are not behind Christ, receiving his protection and blessings. Sometimes we think we are putting Christ first, but we can be deceived. One of the best examples is in Luke 10:38-42. I am going to put this in my own words — please go and read this for yourself. It seems two sisters Mary and Martha were preparing for Jesus to visit as they scurried around to get everything ready. But when Jesus arrived, Mary stopped helping and sat at Jesus’ feet to hear him speak. This kind of riled Martha, as she was left to finish preparations alone. I think some of us would say Martha was right to be upset, but Jesus had a different perspective. When Martha complained, we find that Jesus in verse 42 explained that Mary was right in seeking him first, as he was Mary’s greatest need, just as today Jesus is still our greatest need above everything else. If we fail to take time with Jesus, we could have very unpleasant consequences in our other activities even with good intentions. This applies to everything. Sometimes we prioritize our activities, but Christ should

always be first on the list. Seeking Christ, Danny Soles

Dear Editor: It is my pleasure to endorse Dick Johnson, of Denton, for the office of Representative in the North Carolina House. I have known Dick for more than 30 years and have found him to be a man of high character and integrity. He is always friendly and receptive to anyone he meets. He has several years experience in the automobile and real estate businesses. His experiences in these fields will serve him and his constituents well when it comes to making legislative decisions. We need more representatives in the House with real-world business experience. I am sure Dick will make decisions for the best interest of the people of Davidson County because he is a life-long resident of the county and has a genuine heart for the best interest of the county’s residents. Dick is a Fiscal Conservative and will work to correct this economic turmoil we now face. Dick is married to a teacher, the father of two sons and fully understands the need of our state’s education system. He has a record of support for the local schools. His family has participated in the Foreign Exchange Program for several years, influencing many students and adults in the need for international cooperation. If elected, Dick will be a breath of fresh air in the state legislature. We will once again have someone working for the good of the people in this area. We will have someone in Raleigh who will listen to our input and act upon it. I would encourage every eligible voter in this district to vote for Dick Johnson and take our district back. Sincerely, Delbert Cranford Denton

Missed opportunities cost Eagles Central takes first place in CCC with East tied for second BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor SOUTHMONT — East Davidson cannot say they didn’t have their chances in a crucial Central Carolina Conference game with Central Davidson on Tuesday. The Golden Eagles squandered away several chances with runners in scoring position, while Central made good on its opportunities, staking claim to a 6-3 win. “Just like the last time we played them, early on we had runners at first at second, bases loaded, and we just couldn’t get the clutch hit,” said EDHS head coach Dan Tricarico. “Give Central the credit they deserve, though. They played well.” Central, 16-4 overall, 7-1 in the CCC, got a tremendous, complete-game pitching performance from Cody Beck. The southpaw struck out 13, improving his season record to 7-2. Keaton Hawks was just as good at

With the loss, Hawks is now 3-2 for the year. East falls into a tie for second place with Salisbury at 6-2.

The Central Davidson Spartans found themselves in a familiar situation Tuesday night: battling for conference supremacy at East Davidson. Once again, the Spartans were up to the challenge, as the three-time defending state champs battered the Golden Eagles with 16 hits en route to a 13-1 victory. “We hit a lot of balls tonight. I was very impressed with our offense,” Spartans coach Gene Poindexter said of the outpouring of runs. “We took advantage of the situations we were given. That’s what you want to be doing when the weather warms up.” Central’s starting pitcher Carly Tysinger tallied

the first run of the game with an RBI single in the first inning. Nicole Perry then broke the game open in the third with a tworun homer to straightaway center field to give Central a 3-0 advantage. Perry came within a triple of the cycle as she went 4-for-4 with four runs, and two RBIs courtesy of the two-run blast in the third inning. “We made good pitches. They just hit them,” said Eagles’ coach Greg Fowler. “Give them all the credit. They made the plays and we didn’t.” Spencer Embler — who was on the mound for East – came within about five feet of tying the game in the bottom half of the third, when she stepped to the plate with two runners aboard and ham-

Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Coming off a national championship run in which bigger was better for Duke, the Blue Devils have secured the services of another big man for the future. Tyler Adams, a 6-9, 255pound post player out of

Mississippi, has made a verbal commitment to play for the Duke beginning in 2011. Adams, who averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds as a junior at Brandon High School, picked Duke over Memphis, Mississippi State and Alabama among others. Scout.com recruiting

analyst Dave Telep ranks Adams as the 14th-best center prospect in the class of 2011 and a top-100 prospect regardless of position. Adams is somewhat of a traditional, back-to-thebasket type of post player, but his high school coach said he is more polished than many similar post

players his age. “He’s 6-9 and he’s 255, but he’s very mobile. A kid that size is usually a little bit clumsy,” Brandon coach Fredrick Barnes said. “He’s just a competitor and a smart kid. He loves basketball, and he wants to get better. “I think he has all the

things that Coach K is looking for. Coach K loves the way that he can move on the court.” Duke’s recent run to the NCAA title featured a trio of high-scoring perimeter players who benefited from the presence of 7-footer Brian

In fact, the senior never had hit a grand slam. But Tuesday night, the fifth career homer by the Tar Heels shortstop with the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 10th secured a 6-2 victory over High Point at Boshamer Staidum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was definitely a new thing for me,â&#x20AC;? said Graepel, who entered the game batting .293. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of everything sort of culminating at the same time to where it worked out perfectly.â&#x20AC;? Graepel was referring to how he possibly could have ended the game almost two hours earlier when he collided with Coach Mike Fox while rounding third.

Ben Bunting to tie the score and Graepel was on his way home to give UNC the lead when he crashed into Fox, who was coaching third base. Their helmets went flying and Fox was knocked to the ground, but Graepel managed to scramble back to third where he watched the next three batters pop out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Fox] was a little more down towards the baseline than he normally was,â&#x20AC;? Graepel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he was close enough to where I thought he wanted me to go behind him, and so I took a step toward the outside and he sort of stepped with me and the next thing I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the ground and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scurrying back to the base.â&#x20AC;?

The Tar Heels took the lead in the bottom of the seventh when Jacob Stallings hit his first career home run, a solo shot to left-center field. But in the top of the eighth, the Panthers (2222) tied the score 2-2 thanks to UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone error. Colin Bates came on to pitch in relief of Jordan alum Zach Bernard, and when the first batter bunted, Batesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toss to first sailed wide right to allow Matt Ganter to tie the game. Bates, however, gave up no more runs the rest of the inning and the Tar Heels had a chance in the bottom of the frame. Seth Baldwin led off the ninth with a base hit, but then Mike Cavasinni struck out, Bunting hit a fly out and Levi Michael struck out. Fox wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy about the last strikeout called on Cavasinni, however, and began to argue with the umpire before quickly being ejected for the first time this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to protect [Cavasin-

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing that I wanted to have happen or thought would happen right there.â&#x20AC;? In the 10th, UNC reliever Greg Holt worked himself out of a one-out, twoon jam to keep the game tied and eventually earn the win.

Snider, though, then took part in getting a runner out at home to limit the damage. CDHS added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to add the fifth run. Meanwhile, East was giving away chances to score and Beck kept finding ways to get out of jams. A pair of leadoff doubles in the second put runners at second and third, but they would never move again. Beck struck out the next three he faced to slam the door shut. “Cody pitched a really good ballgame, and they obviously deserved to win it,” said Tricarico. East put runners on first and third with one out an inning later, but again could not work some magic. A 6-4-3 double play kept the Eagles off the board and the Spartans in control. Needing to make some noise quickly with only nine outs left, East regained its focus and made a push in the fifth. They would score three in the frame, with the big hit coming from Tyler Lequire.

Black Sunday, April 14, 1935

The Dust Bowl During the 1930s, a series of dust storms hit parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. The words â&#x20AC;&#x153;dust bowlâ&#x20AC;? caught on after a reporter used them to describe the area in an article about the storms for the Washington Evening Star.

Does spring bring thunderstorms to your area? If you live close to an ocean, you might have experienced hurricanes. Or if you live in northern areas, you might have to dig out after a snowstorm in the winter. But about 75 years ago, another kind of storm made life very hard for people in the middle of the United States. This week, The Mini Page looks back at the Dust Bowl and how it changed Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives.

Changing the prairie Important rain

Terrible wind

At first, wheat and other crops grew very well on the Plains. There was plenty of rain, and the soil was healthy. But farmers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to take care of the soil. They wore it out with overfarming and overgrazing by cattle. When the Great Depression began in 1929, wheat prices dropped. Farmers tried to grow and sell more to make up the difference, but many ended up losing their farm machines, their land and even their homes.

In the early 1930s, farmers faced another challenge: drought (drowt), or a lack of rain. In 1932, high winds picked up the fine, dry soil left from farming and sent it flying across the land. Dust storms continued through 1933, and in May 1934, a huge storm blew for a day and a half. It blew millions of tons of soil as far east as New York City and Washington, D.C. On a Sunday in April 1935, the worst storm of all sent huge black clouds of dust over the Plains and made the temperature drop by more than 50 degrees. This day became known as Black Sunday.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, life was changing on the North American prairie. Native Americans were being moved to reservations to open up land for farming. Settlers were moving west. There was a great demand for wheat to help feed people during World War I, so farmers could make good money growing crops. Native Americans in the area had not been farmers. They grew some food close to water sources, such as rivers, and hunted bison (buffalo) for meat and hides. On the Plains, where native grasses once held the soil in place, farmers began using gas-powered tractors and other machines to plow the land.

Black Sunday Imagine your family returning from church on a Sunday morning in the spring. Birds are singing, the sun is shining, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to playing outside. But that afternoon, A hBLACK BLIZZARDv appears from the north. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen dust storms before. But this one will make history.

Crops destroyed Not only were the storms harmful to people and animals, but they also killed thousands of acres of corn, wheat and other crops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes in just one day. After losing so much to drought and depression, many farmers in the Dust Bowl were completely ruined.

A famous storm

Hometown: Chicago

In early December, Evan Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball season turned from bright to bleak on one painful play. Falling on his back in a nonconference game, the Ohio State junior suffered two broken vertebrae. People usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recover quickly from that kind of injury, but Turner played again a month later, after missing six games. Soon his season became bright again. The versatile swingman led Ohio State to another Big Ten regular-season title, was voted conference Player of THE 9EAR AND HONORED AS A .ATIONAL 0LAYER OF THE 9EAR (E ALSO SHOULD WIN A Comeback Player of the Year award. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he bounces back. During the regular season he paced the Big Ten in scoring average (19.5 points per game) and rebounds (9.4), and was SECOND IN ASSISTS AND STEALS (E DOES IT ALL Â&#x2C6; AND WITH FLAIR Away from basketball, Turner enjoys listening to music, reading and getting in rounds of golf.

Black Sunday, on April 14, 1935, was one of the worst of the dust storms to hit the Plains states. It blocked the sun and caused rainbow colors in the sky above the cloud of dust. Birds flew away ahead of it. People and animals caught in the dust couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe, and some died.

Shocking All the dust particles running into each other in the air caused a lot of static electricity. People sometimes knocked each other down just by shaking hands. They also put cloth over metal door knobs to avoid shocking their hands. photo courtesy NOAA/NWS

No shelter Even people who were inside their homes were battered by the storm. Dust came in through cracks around doors and windows. It nearly buried some homes and barns.

Life Amid the Dust

Dust at school Just like you, children in the 1930s spent many days in school. Sometimes dust storms began while they were at school. Parents might try to bring children home, but if they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, kids would stay in the school building. People were afraid to be outside during storms because they might choke on the dust or lose their way. Some wore goggles to protect their eyes; some people held wet washcloths over their mouths during a storm to filter the dust.

A health problem

How did it end?

Storms caused other problems for people in the Dust Bowl. After inhaling the dust, some people coughed up wads of dirt. Silicosis (sihl-ih-COE-sis) is a lung disease that affects people who work in coal mines and other industries. The particles of coal or dust irritate the lungs and destroy the lung tissue. Miners call this hBLACK LUNG v $URING THE $UST "OWL IT WAS KNOWN AS hDUST PNEUMONIA v People also got eye infections and appendicitis (uh-pen-dih-SIE-tus). (Appendicitis is an irritation of the appendix, a part of our digestive system.)

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932, he started many programs to help victims of the Depression and the Dust Bowl. One of the programs taught farmers about soil conservation. They learned to plant crops in lines that followed the contour, or shape, of the land. The Soil Conservation Service suggested farmers grow low plants, such as soybeans, to help keep the soil in place. Farmers helped in planting millions of trees to block the wind.

Moving on

A filthy home It was almost impossible for families to keep their houses clean during the Dust Bowl years. Every surface became coated with dust. If people used water to clean, it turned to mud.

This boy in Oklahoma around 1936 is having trouble breathing with all the dust in the air.

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

While many families stayed in the Plains states during the Dust Bowl, others headed to California to find work. They packed up whole families in trucks and cars and traveled for days. Some even walked. Experts say about 3.5 million people left their homes between 1935 and 1940. Next week, The Mini Page celebrates Be Kind to Animals Week.

Can it happen again? Droughts, or periods of little rain, still happen on the Plains. In the early 1950s, dust storms came again. Other short droughts took place in the 1970s and early 2000s. But farmers had learned something from the 1930s. Today, many acres in the Plains have been returned to grassland. Farmers manage crops and soil quality more carefully. Irrigation, or watering crops, is widely used on modern farms.

PRICE From page 1

of the people of Davidson County. This campaign is not about me. They are the ones screaming out for change and they deserve better law enforcement than what they’ve gotten in the past. The people of Davidson County are driving this campaign.” In 1972, Price was working as a retailer in Winston-Salem when a cousin came to him with the idea of becoming a police officer. While hesitant at first, he eventually warmed to the idea and decided to become a highway patrolman. Little did he know that the next three decades of his life would be spent moving up the career ladder to where Price would eventually become a Lt. Commander overseeing hundreds of officers from 10 different counties. During that time, Price worked at various locations across the state, spending time on security detail for three governors and also supervising one of North Carolina’s most famous sporting events — racing at Charlotte Motor speedway. Price was at the speedway on May 21, 2000, when a walkway collapsed, injuring more than 100 fans. “Those five annual events would draw around 225,000 people per event and it took months of planning,” said Price. “We were working with homeland security and troopers from across the state, not to mention the local agencies from 10 counties. I was the second person at the walkway that night and in 58 minutes we evacuated 98 injured people. The logistics were tremendous. We set up a triage and had to coordinate with the hospitals, ambulances, medivac. It was a long night, but there were no deaths.” When Price elected to retire in 2005, he thought his law enforcement days were behind him. Retirement didn’t last long, however, as there suddenly was a need for a new sheriff after Gerald Hege was removed from office amidst a scandal that led to him pleading guilty to counts of obstruction of justice. Price was approached about the job and went before a selection committee only to lose out to current sheriff David Grice. A year later, Price challenged the incumbent and four other challengers but came up 500 votes short. Four years later, Price is returning to the political arena for one last shot at giving Davidson County what he feels it sorely needs — an experienced, professional sheriff who can be a fresh face to a position that he thinks hasn’t lived up to the people’s standards. “I certainly don’t have anything to prove to anybody,” said Price. “Law enforcement to me is service to the community you’re in. When I retired in 2005, we had just come out of an era I consider very detrimental to law enforcement. Due to that, law enforcement was in search of professionalism, integrity, respect and something you could believe in. We had lost that. I was still in the mindset of serving the citizens in the county that I lived in since 1991. We need a change and a better way of doing things. That’s what people are searching for. If [Grice] was doing his job, I wouldn’t have a chance. None of us would.” Price feels his history in law enforcement speaks for itself. Hav-

ing been in a position of overseeing multiple jurisdictions and his management experience alone more than qualifies him to be sheriff of Davidson County. Price says his administration will be more open to the public and will restore the trust and transparency he claims has been lacking for years now. “We have been successful right here in Thomasville,” Price said. “We’ve had a tremendous turnout and everyone is real excited and positive. Being a politician is not easy. There’s a lot of late nights, but the job is 24/7. Crime doesn’t have a time

scale.” Law enforcement has always seemed to find Price. He could have enjoyed retirement and all the luxuries that go along with it, but that calling and desire to pass a better, safer community to his children and grandchildren keeps bringing him back. “If I can’t clean up some drugs and make this a better place to live then why was I ever in law enforcement for 32 years?” said Price. “I feel young and healthy, and I could easily go home and play golf. But if I don’t do this then all that experience will be lost.”
