Carpe diem Davidson County voters

High turnout expected at polls BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Seize the day Davidson County. When voting booths across the county swing into action this morning, who will be the next sheriff for the following four years will fall squarely on ELIOT DUKE the shoulders of Staff Writer registered voters. If early voting numbers are any indication, this year’s sheriff ’s race may go down as one of the largest ever in terms of turnout. This is a historic moment for the county, and residents should welcome the chance to be a part of it. The right to vote is as old as the country and it is the one true way to make our collective voices heard. What makes this Republican primary for sheriff so unique is the cast of characters involved. Sheriff David Grice, former sheriff Gerald Hege and challenger Terry Price have spent the last several months on the campaign trail, trying to get their message across in an effort to represent the Republican party in the November election. The race has been anything but boring. All three candidates have traded shots back and forth, and supporters from all sides have managed to express their opinions one way or another. Thanks to the world of blogs and message boards, citizens throw support to their candidate of choice whatever way they can. The fact they do it anony-

Primary races come to an end today as voters cast the final ballots. After two weeks of early voting, Davidson County residents have a last chance to come out to the polls, open 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. About 101,093 people have registered to vote — 46,719 Republicans, 32,985 Democrats

and 21,241 unaffiliated voters. Ruth Huneycutt, director of the Davidson County Board of Elections, said she would like to see around 10-11,000 people come out to vote today. “We hope for around 20 percent,” she said. In 2006, the last mid-term primary election, 9,975 residents turned out to vote on election day. An increase in registered voters — about 8,000 since 2006

— as well as the high-profile sheriff ’s race this year, hopefully will bring out even more voters, Huneycutt says. “I think she’s probably right,” said Loretta Martin, former chair of the Davidson County Democratic Party. “Just because of the interest in the sheriff ’s race here, I think that’ll make it heavier than other elections. The people have a real interest in who becomes the sheriff this

time.” The Republican primary for sheriff pits incumbent Sheriff David Grice against Terry Price, who was defeated by Grice in 2006, and former sheriff Gerald Hege, who resigned in 2004 after being convicted of felony obstruction of justice. Lance Barrett, chairman of the Davidson County Republi-

Thomasville teen killed in traffic accident BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Shoppers of all ages toured the vendor booths at the Seventh annual Spring Daze Festival Saturday in downtown Thomasville. This year also marked the first Thomasville Chainsaw Competition, in which sculptors entertained crowds with their unique artistic talent. The two events were organized by the City Beautification Committee and the Thomasville Tourism Commission, respectively.

A Thomasville teenager scheduled to graduate high school in a few weeks died Friday as a result of injuries he sustained in a High Point traffic accident. According to High Point Police Department, Justin Payne Simmons, 17, of Ball Park Road, died after the SUV he was riding in rolled over following a collision with another vehicle in the 900 block of Phillips Avenue near Westchester Drive Friday at 11:22 a.m. Simmons was ejected from the Chevrolet Blazer, driven by Jacob Foster Nance, 17, of Lexington, and died at the scene. Nance, who also was ejected from the vehicle, survived the crash, but would later succumb to his injuries Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. at Baptist Hospital in WinstonSalem. Both men attended High Point Christian Academy and were sched-

Members of Wallburg Town Council and other local officials broke ground for the new town hall Monday morning.

Wallburg breaks ground on new town hall BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

WALLBURG — Wallburg’s good fortune lasted all the way to the moment when shovels touched the ground on the new town hall. Rain showers stayed away long enough Monday morning for council members to officially break ground on Wallburg’s new town hall, culminating years of planning and a little lucky timing thanks to the national recession. Once rain moves out of the area, construction will officially begin on the 11,500-square-foot, two-story facility, located on a 6.7-acre lot at the corner of Franklin Drive and N.C. Highway 109. The town hall will become the base of operations for all governmental agencies within Wallburg. “This is a fantastic day and a big day for Wallburg,” Mayor Allen Todd said. “To be a town, there’s certain things you’ve got to do. You need a facility that you can work out of. You need a place where history can be kept and a place for every day functions. This facility will take care all of that.” Council members started planning for a town hall several years ago, but decided to wait until enough money was available that the project would be paid for upon completion. Thanks to the economic downturn

in construction, council members were able to get the project for much less than it would’ve cost even two years ago. “This is the perfect time for this facility to go up,” said project architect John Fuller. “The building construction cost is extremely economical in this time period, so that’s why I say there couldn’t be a better time to build. Two years ago, it would have been considerably more, maybe $200,000 more.” In 2009, council members sought help from Davidson County and coordinated efforts with Dwayne Childress, county purchasing director. Council member Lynn Reece acted as the liaison with the county and provided monthly updates on the project’s progression. Jarrell Construction, Inc. out of Salisbury will build the town hall, which is expected to be completed by next March at a cost of $1.4 million. “We feel like we are getting tremendous value with this structure,” said Todd. “It will be a beautiful building and will be very functional, too. Every detail in the building is designed to serve the citizens of this town. This is the citizen’s governmental center.” The Wallburg community originated in the late 1700s and was named Abbotts Grove. The name changed to Piney Grove before one of Wallburg’s

Event to offer information on Health Care Tax Credit TIMES STAFF REPORT

The Internal Revenue Service is sponsoring a public outreach event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 11 at the Greensboro Historical Museum to assist taxpayers who may be eligible for the Health Coverage Tax Credit. This credit makes health coverage more affordable by allowing eligible individuals to pay only 20% of their health insurance premiums each month. Nationwide, thousands of people are potentially eligible to receive the HCTC. Some of them are displaced workers who are certified by the Department of Labor as eligible to receive Trade Readjustment Allowances under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act (TAA). The remaining others qualify because they receive benefits from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)

and are between 55 and 65 years of age. The HCTC Program partners with various federal and state agencies and Health Plan Administrators (HPAs) to deliver the tax credit to eligible individuals. The HCTC is available on a monthly basis to help individuals pay their health insurance costs as they become due or on a yearly basis when they file their federal tax return. It is a refundable tax credit and is paid in full no matter how much federal income tax an eligible individual owes. The HCTC began as a ground breaking tax credit program in 2002 and was expanded in 2009 as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. For more information, call 1-866-628-HCTC or visit http://www.irs. gov/individuals/article/ 0,,id=109915,00.html

founding fathers, George Wall, opened a post office in his home in 1882. In 2004, after numerous efforts to gain its independence, Wallburg incorporated as a town. “I’ve looked forward to this for many years,” Wallburg resident Jack Craven said. “We talked about it for 10 years before we finally got something started. It seemed like we did start, everything was perfect timing. Everything just seems to fit right in for us. Let’s hope it continues.” In addition to the town hall, the land also may be used for a walking trail and small park. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

HEALTH

Surgical therapies are key to easing lumbar pain LIFELONG HEALTH

DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist

After the age of 60, virtually everyone complains of low back pain that is second only to an upper respiratory infection as a reason for employee absenteeism. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the single most common cause of long-term disability. Although it is generally difficult to manage and medical relief can be elusive, for people with a condition called lumbar stenosis, surgical therapies can be extremely successful in reducing pain. Lumbar stenosis disease affects one in

1,000 people over the age of 50 and is associated with a narrowing of the spinal canal, the central part of the bony spine that encases the spinal cord. This narrowing is caused by arthritis, degeneration of the vertebral disks and thickening of the ligaments that keep the vertebra in alignment and stable. In rare cases, injury to the spinal cord and tumors can lead to stenosis. The condition can either affect the neck (cervical spine) or low back (lumbar spine). Patients with lumbar stenosis typically experience low back pain that comes on slowly and can vary in intensity from mild to severe. Pain occasionally radiates down into the legs and is made worse by walking. Many patients find relief by bending forward. If the compression is particularly serious, patients can also experience numbness, weakness, changes in gait and balance as well as loss of bowel

and bladder control. For people with severe pain where conservative treatments have been unsuccessful, or if there is evidence that nerve compression is leading to urinary incontinence or neurological deficits in the lower limbs, surgery is the best option to correct the stenosis, improve symptoms and ensure a better quality of life. To date, there are three common surgical approaches to the treatment of lumbar stenosis. Two are relatively minor treatments and one is a more complex procedure. Of the two simpler surgeries, one is a procedure called decompression, which involves widening the narrowed spinal canal. The other is simple fusion of two vertebrae together, which helps relieve the pain by stabilizing the spine. The third procedure involves fusing three or more vertebrae together and treating the front and the back of the spine. This operation

is more extensive and complicated, but many back surgeons believe strongly that the success rates are so high that the more aggressive approach is preferred. In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers examined the trends in treatment, complication rates and costs associated with surgery for lumbar stenosis in the Medicare population. Although the total amount of surgeries for lumbar stenosis remained consistent between 2000 and 2007, the complex procedure became the dominant approach, increasing 15-fold from 1.3 to 19.9 surgeries for every 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries. A total of 32,152 of the complex surgeries were performed during the first 11 months of 2007 at a cost of $80,888 each, compared to a cost of $23,724 for the other two more minor approaches. If complications were less and the outcomes

were better, the increased expenditures would be worth the benefit. However, this is simply not the case. In terms of greater mobility, less pain and improved quality of life, the outcome was no better for the complex procedure and the complication rate was much higher. Life-threatening complications occurred in 2.3 percent of patients having either decompression or simple fusion, compared to 5.6 percent for those having the complex procedure. Those being treated by the older procedures were less likely to die and required fewer readmissions to the hospital. These results offer an important message for patients and physicians. It is easy to justify more complicated therapies in the hope of achieving better outcomes, but often the aggressive approaches fail to meet our expectations. For patients, you must always understand the data behind your phy-

sicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended course of action. How long has the procedure been performed? What are the success rates? Is it more beneficial than a conservative approach? For physicians, we must be vigilant in assessing, evaluating and re-evaluating the need for newer, more sophisticated therapies. In health care, we must all do our part to improve outcomes while simultaneously considering cost. And with a thoughtful approach to medicine, the two can coexist perfectly.

Residents urged to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fight the Your Town. biteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; during flea and tick season Your Times. TIMES STAFF REPORT

As Tick and Mosquito Awareness Month begins, state health officials are reminding people to be careful because warmer, wetter weather brings out more of the diseasecarrying pests. All North Carolinians are urged to take simple steps to prevent insects from biting them and to reduce insect breeding conditions around the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring rains and warmer weather provide ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes and ticks,â&#x20AC;? said State Health Director Jeff Engel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ticks and mosquitoes can be more than just a nuisance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they can also make people seriously ill. Now is the time to fight the bite!â&#x20AC;? Nolan Newton, chief of the Public Health Pest Management Section of the Division of Environmental Health, said that people can take steps to prevent illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can make your backyard a lot less tickfriendly,â&#x20AC;? Newton said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep grass short and remove plants that attract wild animals like deer and rodents, which carry ticks.â&#x20AC;? Newton said discarding containers that hold water will remove mosquito breeding grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take a good look at your environment now, before the mosquitoes really start biting,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things like bird baths, old tires, planters and even small containers like tin cans can give mosquitoes a place to thrive.â&#x20AC;? Newton added that people should remember to make sure they tightly secure screens on all openings on rain barrels used for water conservation.

Placing a window screen on a rain barrel will remove a breeding area for mosquitoes but still allow people to conserve water. Engel and Newton said insect repellent also can be useful, particularly against mosquitoes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend several repellents against mosquitoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DEET, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. According to the CDC, oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under 3. Repellents containing permethrin provide excellent protection against ticks but may only be used on clothing.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor

To the Editor

I would like to share some facts with you about a man, an honest man, running for reelection to the N.C. House of Representatives, District 80. His name is Jerry Dockham, and I have known him quite well for more than 55 years. I grew up with him, went to school with him, and for a short time was his seventhgrade sweetheart. During all those formidable years there was always a constant. I admired him, respected him and knew he was a person meant to help with change, the right kind of change! As is so often the case, if a child is raised with morals and character, those qualities remain, and this is the case with my candidate for N.C. House. Jerry’s actions are preceded with concern for the personal and individual rights of others, trying never to overstep his authority but always willing to listen and act only when change is best. Changes which are right for his constituents and citizens — this sometimes means reexamining his position when the majority feels differently. This comes with listening and receiving ideas from his district’s population. Ideas become bills and bills become laws, such as the ones that have benefited Davidson County introduced by N.C. House Rep. Jerry Dockham. Lexington’s Bar-B-Q Festival, named The Food Festival of the Triad, was no easy task for him. The folks in the eastern part of our state like theirs as much as we do — even though I can’t imagine why! The funds, a few years ago, that were obtained for the City of Thomasville to promote tourism (to excite people as to what is here) and for the Town of Denton as well. These are just a few examples of the people’s ideas that Rep. Dockham worked to make happen. I would be remiss if I did not include his undying support for Davidson County Community College. He has served there as a most loyal trustee for the past 25 years. Folks, you need to know that in Raleigh, one must communicate with both sides of the aisle, Republicans and Democrats, to pass legislation. This he does and does with integrity and honesty, important qualities you had better look into deeply when you make your choice in the Republican primary for N.C. House of Representatives District 80 on May 4. Your choice will be your representative! I say this with complete and total conviction. I believe your vote must be for Jerry Dockham, my husband of 38 faithful years. This from the heart of a born and bred lifelong Republican. Louise Dockham Denton

There will be a third candidate for Davidson County Sheriff on the ballot in November. My name is Don Swink. I am an Unaffiliated candidate for Sheriff of Davidson County. To avoid any confusion, I want to let the voters know that I will not be on the Primary ballot on May 4, but I will definitely be on the ballot in November. As an Unaffiliated candidate, I am required to get signatures of 4 percent of the registered voters in the county by June 25th. to put my name on the November ballot. As of the writing of this letter I have attained that goal, having over 4,021 signatures in hand. However, the Board of Elections also told me that I would need about 10 percent more than that to make up for the ones they will throw out for various reasons, so therefore we will be working some of the polls on Primary day to get the remaining few hundred signatures needed to ensure that we have enough. So be looking for us at some of the polls on Election Day May 5th. and sign the petitions. If you would like to volunteer to work a poll, give me a call at 561-1760. Thank you, and God bless. Don Swink Unaffiliated Candidate

To the Editor As Early Childhood Educators, there are many things that we know. Research tells us that the first five years of life lay the foundation for all future learning. Also, more than 40 years of early education research shows that high quality early education experiences positively impact young children. Research tells us that those participating in high quality care are far more likely to graduate from high school, commit fewer crimes, be homeowners and have higher earnings. More importantly, they will provide communities with a higher skilled workforce that will be required as technology continues to expand. This past week Gov. Bev Perdue released her proposed state budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year. This budget makes critical investments in four key areas, education being one of them. I would like to recognize and thank our governor today for holding the line on investments in young children. Smart Start initiatives across the state were held as equals to the K-12 and community college systems. This is an important step in our state’s future success. Linda Leonard Executive Director Smart Start of Davidson County

Lumbees, Lewin and Lowery VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist Are you trying to make sense out of the latest news from the Lumbee Tribe? According to news reports, the Lumbee Tribal Council has approved a contract with a Nevada-based lobbying firm that will attempt to persuade Congress to grant the tribe full recognition without any restrictions on gambling ventures. A bill granting recognition but restricting gambling has passed the House of Representatives and has been waiting on action by the Senate. The shocker in the new contract with Lewin International is a provision that would require the Lumbees to pay Lewin $35 million if Congress grants recognition and permits gambling, unless the tribe votes to set up a gambling operation run by Lewin. The contract with Lewin has some of the 50,000 or more Lumbees who live in and around Robeson County worried and angry. Just when a compromise recognition bill was finally about to become law, they say that the tribal leadership changed directions, put the recognition effort in jeopardy, and risks the loss of $35 million, a substantial part of the tribe’s assets. Just when we are trying to make sense of the Lumbee actions and as people start asking questions about the

tribe’s history, a new book comes to the rescue. The book is Lumbee Indians in the Jim Crow South: Race, Identity, and the Making of a Nation. Its author, a Lumbee Indian, is UNC-Chapel Hill Assistant Professor of History Malinda Maynor Lowery. Although the Lumbees are the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River, they have had to struggle for appropriate recognition and acceptance. Some North Carolinians question whether or not they are “real Indians.” So have agencies of the federal and state government. But, although there may be disagreements about issues that affect them, the Lumbees have no doubt that they, their families, and the groups of their neighbors and kinsfolk who have lived for hundreds of years in and around the swampy lands that border the Lumbee River are Indian people. Professor Lowery supports their claim. Her new book lays out in detail how these peoples have worked, plotted, fought, and compromised in order to preserve and enhance their Indian heritage. To accommodate the white establishment’s notions of Indian governance, the Lumbees tried a series of tribal names — Croatan, Siouan, Cherokee and Tuscarora. To gain and retain recognition and support from the state, they accommodated themselves to the Jim Crow racial culture of the South. They submitted to studies that evaluated their “Indianess” based on dubious scientific measurements of physical features that supposedly defined race. And in 1956, they had to accept a form of Federal recognition that denied them every benefit given to other Native Americans. Lowery believes that the identity of the Lumbee is defined primarily, not by the

percentage of Indian blood, but by kinship, mutual recognition, and strong and longstanding connections to the land. With this background, she says, lack of government recognition “did not prevent the Indians in Robeson County from becoming a nation.” She quotes Lumbee Attorney Arlinda Locklear, the first Native American lawyer to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court, “We have always been independent and self-determining communities ... [Sovereignty is] not bestowed by government ...” Nevertheless, the goal of full Federal recognition is one of those things that holds Lumbees together. But, decisions about the strategy and tactics of securing recognition can divide them. According to Lowery, Arlinda Locklear has been working on behalf of the Lumbee Tribe since 1983 in the effort to secure Congressional action to recognize the tribe. Reportedly, she worked mostly for free. Ironically, the Tribal Council’s new contract replaces Locklear with Lewin International. It is a result that not even Lowery’s wonderful book can make me understand.

FROM PAGE 1 From page 1 can Party, also expects a large turnout at the polls. “It’s going to be big,” he said. Because North Carolina’s closed primary system means that registered voters can vote only for candidates in their party, the Republican party has seen an increased number of unaffiliated voters migrating to the rightwing primary and even Democrats switching to unaffiliated to vote in the contested sheriff race. “It’s going to be a different type of electorate, that’s for sure,” Barrett said. “We’re getting an awful lot of people in our electorate that normally wouldn’t be.” But the fact that Democrats only have one sheriff candidate to vote for in the primary hasn’t entirely dampened interest in the elections. “I think this time the Democrats are coming out because of the U.S. Senate race,” Martin

uled to graduate May 21. “It’s really a tragedy,” HPPD Lt. Steve Myers said. “It’s tragic that this had to happen to two young men who were getting ready to graduate high school.” Two other passengers — Alex Murr, 18, and Ivan Soldo, 19 — also were in the SUV at the time of the crash and suffered injuries. They were transported to High Point Regional Hospital, treated and released on Friday. The occupants of the other vehicle were not injured. Myers said that according to witness accounts, a black SUV attempted to pass a small blue vehicle against the double yellow line as it was turning into the Westchester Commons parking lot. The two vehicles collided causing the Blazer to lose control and roll multiple times, ejecting two of the four occupants. The Blazer came to rest in the parking lot of 919 Phillips Ave. Myers said the accident report indicates the Blazer was traveling between 60-65 mph in a 35 mph zone. No charges are being sought by HPPD at this time. “It looks like what happened is when they went around the second vehicle, the collision caused the SUV to start going sideways,” said Myers. “It then went up an embankment and started rolling across a parking

said, referencing a race with six Democratic candidates, none of which are the incumbent. “That is thought to be pretty much up in the air.” Early voting, which ended Saturday, certainly supports Barrett, Martin and Huneycutt’s predictions for today’s turnout. About 3,885 people took advantage of early voting, more than three times the 1,100 who voted early in 2006. Huneycutt said that while the sheriff ’s race probably affected voter turnout, she also thinks that word has spread about early voting. “I think it’s convenient to people,” she said. “It’s becoming more wellknown.” Unlike in early voting, unregistered voters will not be able to register and vote on election day.

lot until it came to rest. It appears like it rolled a couple of times.” Simmons’ funeral service was held at Jamestown United Methodist Church on Monday. Simmons was active in the school jazz band and worked with children in the nursery at his church. He had received scholarship offers from High Point University and Elon University. “He was a great kid,” Rev. Jay Bowers said of Simmons. “He was a kid with a gleam in his eye. I know he was Christian, and for us that says it all. He had a very gentle and kind heart.” Bowers knew Simmons for five years at Jamestown United Methodist Church and said he had a special knack for dealing with children. Simmons spent two days a week working in the nursery. “He was genuine about working with the children,” said Bowers. “He was real easy-going with the kids. It’s not unusual for our high school kids to work in the nursery, we have a lot that do, just not that many males. That makes it remarkable.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

Versatility is valuable to any coach, and Davidson County Community head man Matt Ridge has found just that in his latest recruit for the 2010-11 campaign. Maurice Nash, a 6-4 wing out of Wakefield High School in Raleigh, will don a Storm uniform next season. He can play spots 2-4 on floor, and could see time at each in the lineup. His athleticism should allow him to fit in nicely at DCCC, with the uptempo pace the Storm prefer to play at. “He is athletic and can play multiple positions,” said Ridge. “He does a lot of things really well and can defend a lot of different positions. Maurice is a more

natural small forward than anything, but he can also play power forward and shooting guard if we need him.” Nash averaged 13 points in his senior season at Wakefield, shooting 39 percent from beyond the arc and averaging five rebounds. But more important than flashy numbers, spectacular plays or accolades, Ridge likes Nash for the individual he is on and off the court. “Maurice works and listens, and has great character,” Ridge said. “Guys that work and listen over a period of time will do well for us.” Nash is the third newcomer to sign with DCCC thus far.

CROWN ROYAL 400

Busch claims Richmond win

BY REID SPENCER NASCARMedia.com

RICHMOND, Va. — Frustration continued to dog Jeff Gordon, but on Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, it was polesitter Kyle Busch — not four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson — who kept Gordon out of Victory Lane. Busch surged past Gordon after a restart with five laps left in the Crown Royal Heath Calhoun 400 and cleared Gordon’s Chevrolet to the outside through Turns 3 and 4. Four laps later, Busch beat Gordon to the finish line by .755 seconds. The victory was Busch’s 17th in the series. Kevin Harvick ran third behind Gordon, followed by Jeff Burton and Carl Edwards. Juan Pablo Montoya, Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Newman, Marcos Ambrose and Johnson completed the top 10. Harvick took over the lead in the series standings from Johnson, who trails by 10 points through 10 events. All told, Busch led 226 of 400 laps to Gordon’s 144. “I figured I was going to get the outside (for the last restart),” said Busch, who won the spring race at Richmond for the sec-

be pretty good — and it worked. That’s what I did. Did I have a plan? Was that exactly my plan? No. I was just going to drive it as hard as I could, and make whatever happened happen. It worked, just off the cuff.” Gordon finished second for the eighth time since his last win in the series on April 5, 2009 at Texas, 39 races ago.

“I’ve been doing this long enough to know they don’t give out trophies for leading any lap other than the last one,” said Gordon, who reached the boiling point at Talladega last week after Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, forced him onto the apron in Turn 3. Moments later,

Defending champ picks up where he left off BG REPORT With the stands absolutely packed on Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium, thousands of cheering fans were reminded why the legendary quarter-mile is known as “The Madhouse”. With a race full of ups and downs, Tim Brown of Cana , Va. was able to soar above it all and claim victory in the Tucson 200 for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. Brown started on the pole after turning the fastest qualifying lap — and as the green flag fell, “the Rocket” leaped out into the lead. Burt

Duke, Butler to meet in rematch next season DURHAM — Eight months after their classic NCAA championship showdown, Duke and Butler will do it again. The champion Blue Devils and runner-up Bulldogs will face off Dec. 4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., a source close to the situation confirmed Sunday. Duke won the first-ever meeting between the schools, an instant classic by any definition, 6159 on April 4 in Indianapolis for the Blue Devils’ fourth NCAA title. The Blue Devils are expected to be among the favorites -— possibly preseason No. 1 -- for the 2011 title, and Butler could well be in the mix. While Duke already has learned that star Kyle Singler — who was named Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four after scoring 19 points against Butler — will remain at Duke for his senior season, Butler is waiting to hear whether its star, Gordon Hayward, will be back for his junior year. Hayward is on the NBA draft list but didn’t hire an agent and has until Saturday to withdraw his name. If he does, Butler could well be a top-five team in the preseason. With the game, Duke will continue its December tradition of playing a top nonconference opponent in a home-awayfrom-home game in the New York-New Jersey area.

Sauter spins and wins truck race at Kansas NASCARMedia.com KANSAS CITY, Kan.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; What simply had to be the two best saves of the Camping World Truck Series season occurred at exactly the same time and within inches of each other Sunday afternoon at Kansas Speedway. When the two trucks involved finally got pointed back in the proper direction, it was the one driven by Johnny Sauter that had the lead and would go on to win the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly Auto Parts 250. The other truck involved, that of Ron Hornaday Jr., finished second but left its driver buzzing like a radio with a bad tube. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me that Kansas didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that one,â&#x20AC;? Hornaday, not generally known to be all that excited about a second-place finish, shouted as he entered the postrace interview room. Sauter, wearing a very large and sticky smear of birthday cake on his fire suit, was equally excited. As well he should be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bet it looked pretty cool on TV,â&#x20AC;? said Sauter, who turned 32 on Saturday. With 13 laps to go, Sauter had the lead heading down the backstretch, but Hornaday pulled even on his low side. Hornadayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck suddenly hooked rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;right into Sauter. Both spun simultaneously. With smoke pouring from the wheel wells of

both trucks, they turned 60 degrees sideways. The two drivers, who have a history of roughing each other up on the track and in the pits afterward, cranked the steering wheels and both executed highlight-clip saves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got into me,â&#x20AC;? Sauter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but sit there and think as I was trying to save it â&#x20AC;Ś that darn Hornaday got me again within a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. But it all worked out. That was good. That was good for the fans.â&#x20AC;? The victory was the first of the year for Sauter and moved him from 14th to fifth in the points standings. Sauter said he felt good about his truck before it even arrived at Kansas. It was the same truck he used to win his first truck race last September in Las Vegas and finish 11th at Nashville the last time out. Todd Bodine finished third and moved into second in the standings, 22 points behind Timothy Peters, who finished 23rd, six laps back. Notes: Brian Ickler finished fourth and now has two top-five finishes in both of his starts for Kyle Busch Motorsports. â&#x20AC;Ś Rookie Austin Dillon had his best finish, sixth. â&#x20AC;Ś The race was stopped after 114 laps for more than 90 minutes by rain and hail.

East is 7-6.

East Davidson stormed to a 16-2 win at West Davidson Friday in five innings. Morgan Gallimore paced a bit Golden Eagle attack at the plate going 3-for-4 with a home run and scoring three runs.

Kyle Busch’s pit crew goes to work during a stop on Saturday at Richmond.

BUSCH From page 7 Gordon was wrecked. “We’re a team that’s made huge strides, in my opinion, from last year. … That’s what I’m excited about. We’re leading laps at a lot of different types of tracks, and I think our team is really on top of our game. “Yeah, it’s a little disappointing that we haven’t won some races yet, but if we keep doing this, those will come. We’ve got to keep putting ourselves in position.” Gordon led by 2.566 seconds when Elliott Sadler slid through the frontstretch grass with four flat tires to bring out the fourth caution of the race on Lap 367. When pit road opened on Lap 373, Gordon, Burton, Harvick, Montoya and Ryan Newman stayed out on tires that were three laps old when the caution flew. Busch, Denny Hamlin, Truex Jr. and Edwards led a group to pit road for fresh rubber in preparation for a restart on

CHAMP From page 7 the fact that Myers was driving a backup car instead of his normal Stadium machine. When Myers tried for the seventh time to pass Brown from the outside during a restart on lap 140, Brown’s night almost ended early. As Myers tried to find his way into the inside groove, he gave a stout bump to Brown — nearly sending him into the guardrail. “Burt gave me a shot getting into the corner and turned me sideways,” said Brown. “It was just hard Bowman Gray racing,” said Myers about the incident. In an impressive feat of driving skill, Brown was able to save his car and regain control. However, he left the inside lane wide open for Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg. “I just shot under there, and we came out with the lead,” said Jeffreys. “You just have to go for the hole when it opens up.” Luckily for Brown, a caution came out quickly as a result of another incident, giving Brown the chance to turn right around and attempt to reclaim the lead from Jeffreys. “I got a good jump on Lee and kept him pinched down,” said Brown, who

Lap 378. Gordon was leading when the sixth caution flew on Lap 389 for Sam Hornish Jr.’s wreck on the backstretch. That set up the five-lap dash to the finish. Busch ran away with the first half of the race, leading all but eight of the first 229 laps before Burton powered past him in Turn 3 on Lap 230. Burton held the top spot for 20 laps, only to surrender it to Gordon, whose car came to life in the middle of a long green-flag run. “I have no idea how this has just happened—but I’m liking it,” Gordon radioed to crew chief Steve Letarte after the pass for the lead. Gordon extended his advantage through a cycle of greenflag pit stops, and by Lap 300 he had stretched his advantage over Harvick to 2.878 seconds. Notes: Edwards led Laps 269 and 270 during a cycle of green-flag pit stops. Those were the only laps he has led this year, ending a 12-race drought dating to Talladega in November 2009. … Busch gave Dave Rogers his first victory as a Sprint Cup crew chief.

was able to motor past Jeffreys to take back the race lead. Meanwhile, Myers decided to take the risk of pitting for a tire change — a gamble that looked to pay off as Myers fought his way to the front and was in position to challenge Brown again for the lead. During the final caution of the race, Myers was able to pull to the outside front row. “When I got to pull up there beside of Tim with new tires on, I really thought we had a chance to win,” said Myers. But with bumps from Brown and from rival Junior Miller of Danbury, Myers got caught on the outside and fell back to sixth. Brown went on to win with Jeffreys finishing in second. Rookie Zach Brewer of Winston-Salem claimed third, and Miller took the fourth place spot. In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Derek Stoltz of Walkertown powered ahead of the rest of the field to claim the first win of the 2010 season. Ryan Robertson of WinstonSalem grabbed second place with Luke Fleming of Mount Airy battling up to third. Jody Fritts of WinstonSalem notched his first win in several years in Saturday’s race for the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series. John McNeal of Winston-Salem took sec-

ond, with Zack Clifton of Walkertown finishing in third. In the first race for the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, Ted Mickalowski of Mocksville brought home the checkered, with Phillip Wright of King taking victory in the second race.

10 – Thomasville Times – Tuesday, May 4, 2010 , 2010

FROM PAGE 1 VOTERS From page 1 mously and therefore cannot be held accountable for their words is a topic for another day, but at least they’re involved. In the past month, I have sat down with all three candidates, one-on-one, to try and form my own opinion on who should be sheriff of Davidson County. I do not live in Davidson County — hopefully the High Point Enterprise won’t hold it against me that I cover an area where I don’t reside — but I still have to work with whoever is elected as sheriff. I wanted to know who these men are, in their words, rather than read or hear about it from someone else. Over the past week, separate stories on each interview appeared in the Times, but I would like one final say on each candidate to offer one last piece of insight on each man. Let’s start off with Hege. My first encounter with the former sheriff was interesting to say the least. Last November, I wrote a column about the primary that Hege obviously didn’t appreciate. He made that known to me very clearly, but I respected what he had to say and we moved on. All I knew about Hege coming in was what I had read and heard in the media. What I found out was Hege didn’t fit either image I had made him out to be. He wasn’t a hero, but he wasn’t a monster either. He is just a man. Hege is a human being who admits he made a mistake. He seemed remorseful in my interview and understands the mistakes he made. Hege loves being sheriff, for whatever reasons one wants to believe, and he hopes to redeem himself should he get the chance. For the record, I do believe an active sheriff should carry a gun, but that’s not up to me to decide. Price is the x-factor. I don’t think anyone questions Price’s qualifications, having spent more than three decades

RELAY From page 1

march of triumph. After dark – about 9 p.m. at the Davidson County event – Relay celebrates the Luminaria, a ceremony when candles are lit in memory and in honor of cancer patients. The music stops, and Relay participants take a silent lap. “The Luminaria ceremony is probably the most meaningful and somber time of the event,” Myers said. “It is the one moment where everything kind of stands still. It gives you the opportunity to reflect.” Relay teams can tackle the day-long challenge in any way they choose. Some divide up the time by a certain number of laps. Others have one person walk to exhaustion before switching or go for a specific amount of time. Whatever the strategy, Relay organizers encourage the walkers to have fun. Teams decorate their campsite and create various games and activities. Jennifer Bauguss’ team, for example, has taken this year’s Relay theme — Heroes for Hope — to heart. The group plans to set up their camp like a bunker and wear camouflage, dressing as soldiers against cancer. “We’re going really all out. We are here to battle cancer and fight for our families and friends,” said Bauguss, team captain and Davidson County Relay For Life publicity chair. The team will also have water guns and water balloon bombs as an activity for down time. “We’ve asked our teams to embrace the fun about Relay,” said Myers, who said Relay organizers will award the most spirited team. “It gives us an opportunity as family and friends and a community to come together and celebrate life.” That bonding against a

in law enforcement. I think Price is a man who truly does want to be sheriff and wants to make a difference. I do believe there’s a difference between working for the highway patrol and being the sheriff of a county. What Price does offer is a complete change from the current theme. There is no negative publicity around Price and he would offer a new perspective to the position. Sheriff Grice, to me, is a professional. Everyone has detractors, but I find it hard to believe Grice is doing a bad job. One of the things I hear from people is that Grice isn’t accessible, that he never returns calls and can’t be reached. When I sat down with him, he opened a desk drawer filled with phone messages. If Grice spent time responding to every single phone call, he would never get anything done. As sheriff, people are pulling at him constantly and it’s impossible to please everyone. I can say that Grice has always been accessible whenever I need a comment on something, even when he can’t say anything. The point is, he gives me what he can without compromising an investigation. That’s all journalists ask for — cooperation. Grice is Davidson County. This is his home and he understands the people. He works with other law enforcement agencies all the time and does his best to stay out of the spotlight. Again, I am not voting in Davidson County today. I can only exercise my right as a journalist to offer an opinion. It’s up to the citizens to decide and I hope you all take advantage of this unique opportunity. I think Grice is the right choice to remain as sheriff, but I will support whoever wins in November. Seize this moment, citizens. Don’t sit on the sidelines and wait to complain because the wrong guy is in there. The choice really is yours. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

In the Matter of the Estate of MARJORIA M. BULLARD, Deceased.

T HE UNDER SIGNED, hav ing qual ified as Administratrix of the Estate of PAUL EUGENE THOMPSON, deceased late of Davidson County, this is to notify all persons, f i r m s , a n d corp oration s having claims against said Estate to present t h e m t o t h e undersigned on or before the 3rd day of August, 2010, or this Notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All persons indebted to said estate please make immediate payment to the undersigned.

All persons, firms or corporations having claims against MARJORIA M. BULLARD, deceased, formerly of Davidson County, North Carolina, are notified to exhibit same to the undersigned on or before August 4, 2010 or this notice will be pleaded in bar of recovery. All persons indebted to the estate should make immediate payment. This 4th day of May, 2010.

Relay began in 1985 when a surgeon from Tacoma, Wash., Dr. Gordy Klatt, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities across the U.S. reenact Klatt’s fundraising attempt. In the Davidson County Relay, 46 teams are actively participating, totaling 628 relayers. The event as a whole has raised $45,000 so far. Individually, participants are required to pay a $10 registration fee. Teams and individual relayers can raise as much as they want, though the American Cancer Society recommends a personal goal of $100. common foe provides the motivation for most of Relay participants, Myers said, even those who don’t have cancer themselves. “You won’t find many people who don’t know someone who’s been touched by cancer,” she said. “No one likes to see anyone suffer, and everybody wants to help someone at least make it a little bit easier.” But for those who have been effected by cancer – either personally or through a loved one – Relay becomes a more personal event. For Carolyn Adams, chairman of the event, Relay hits close to home. Adams was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma 21 years ago. In 1999, a breakthrough in treatment that had fewer side effects came along as a result of research from the American Cancer Society. “Lymphoma patients sometimes practically live on chemo therapy, keeping things under control, and this one is just so much easier to live with,” Adams said. “I want someone else to know what a breakthrough feels like. It was just a miracle.” But even for racers like Bauguss who can’t trace their attachments to any one person, the event is still a moving one. “It just seems like the community is overwhelmed with it,” Bauguss said. The community aspect

is, in fact, a crucial part of Relay For Life. Besides the race itself, the event will have speakers, such as Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett and cancer survivor Tricia Creasey, a DJ with music and karaoke, food, and even bounce houses for kids. “We encourage everyone to bring the whole family,” Myers said. “You can come to Relay as a child and as an elderly person and still have a great time. Bring lawn chairs and listen to music and then walk some laps.” The community involvement becomes important not only because cancer affects one in three people but also because the disease doesn’t discriminate. “It affects our children, it affects our elderly, even our doctors,” Myers said. “No one is safe from getting cancer. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together.” For those who have survived the throws of the disease, seeing such community support is a moving experience. “It just sort of grabs you in the heart to know that that many people care,” Adams said. “We’re all in this fight together and we’re all trying to make a difference in the world. Cancer could be an epidemic. We hear about new cancer diagnoses every day. It affects all age groups so everybody needs to be involved to raise money for research.”

BITE From page 4 Consumers should look for products that contain the CDC-recommended ingredients, and follow instructions. Also, exposure to mosquitoes and ticks can be limited by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks. People should also check themselves and their families for ticks when they are in tick-prone areas. Proper and prompt removal of ticks is the key to preventing infection. Use fine-tipped tweezers to remove ticks, getting as far forward near the head as possible and pulling steadily. Note the day you removed the tick on a calendar. If you become ill in the next two weeks or develop a skin rash within a month of the tick bite, tell your physician the date you removed the tick. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most common tick-borne illness in North Carolina. According to the N.C. Division of Public Health, more than 260 cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever were reported in North Carolina in 2009. The state also has other tickborne illnesses. La Crosse virus is the most common mosquitoborne illness. La Crosse virus is found mostly in western North Carolina. Two other mosquitoborne diseases, Eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus, are also found in North Carolina. While Eastern equine encephalitis is found largely in the eastern part of the state, West Nile virus is found statewide.

Lowery Court Apt. H in Winston-Salem, were arrested and charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods, injury to real property and possession of a controlled substance. All three suspects were issued a $200,000 secured bond and are scheduled to appear in court on May 24. TUESDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

A South Carolina man arrested in Lexington and wanted for murdering his wife, shooting his stepdaughter and setting a house on fire is heading home to face charges. Arthur Deval Mims, 45, of 823 Terrace Creek Drive in Duncan, S.C.,

was picked up by Spartanburg County deputies Monday afternoon where he is charged with the first degree murder of his wife, Dawn Mims, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and arson. Mims waived extradition from the Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office at a hearing Monday morning.

Mims engaged in a four-hour standoff with several law enforcement agencies last Tuesday on Interstate 85 near Lexington before finally surrendering. Mims was acting suicidal and drinking Clorox bleach after leading police on a chase that started in Duncan, S.C. In order to avoid transporting Mims back and

forth across state lines, Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said that all local charges against the suspect were dismissed. Mims allegedly shot his wife in the head and his stepdaughter, Amber Smith, 17, in the ear before setting fire to their home. Smith is expected to recover.
