Voters’ voices heard in sheriff ’s race BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
LEXINGTON — A sheriff ’s race expected to be one of the closest in Davidson County history turned out to be anything but. Incumbent Sheriff David Grice took his two opponents behind the woodshed Tuesday night, claiming more than 60 percent of the vote in a Republican primary for the ages. While a computer glitch kept the crowd of Grice supporters at the Davidson County Governmental Center in suspense until after 10 p.m., a good two hours after most races had been declared, the results ended the sheriff ’s race in blowout fashion. “It’s great and better than I expected,” Grice said. “I was sort of hoping for 51 or 52 percent, but 60 is great. I am truly humbled by all
‘Davidson County voters have responded and came out and supported a conservative. I think it sends a message that people are satisfied.’ — David Grice Sheriff the support. I think this sends a message that Davidson County is moving forward and will continue to move forward. “People are smarter than some people give them credit for. Davidson County voters have responded and came out and supported a conservative. I think it sends a mes-
sage that people are satisfied. We’re always looking to improve things and we will continue to do that.” A total of 15,836 votes were cast in the sheriff ’s race with 9,631 or 60.82 percent going to Grice. Former sheriff Gerald Hege finished second with 3,838 votes (24.24 percent) and retired highway patrolman Terry Price came in third, claiming 2,274 votes (14.36 percent). Davidson County Board of Elections Director Ruth Huneycutt said that turnout for the sheriff ’s race increased by nearly nine percent from 2006. “It’s always disappointing when you come up short of your goal,” said Price, who did not rule out the possibility of running again in 2014 despite consecutive defeats to Grice. “I feel disappointed for all
In an otherwise as-expected Primary Election, the Democratic U.S. Senate race results call for a head-to-head runoff. Neither Cal Cunningham — a Davidson County native — nor Elaine Marshall was able to garner 40 percent of the votes necessary to win the election outright. The runoff will take place June 22, and the winner will move on to challenge Republican Sen. Richard Burr. Statewide, Marshall took 36.36 percent of the votes while Cunningham won 27.31 percent. “We thought it’d be a little bit Cunningham closer than what it was percentagewise,” said Roy Holman, chairman of the Davidson County Democratic Party. “We’d heard so many good, positive things from a lot of people.” Ken Lewis took third with 17 percent of the votes, with Marcus Williams and Ann Worthy trailing. Burr defeated three challengers, Brad Jones, Eddie Burks and Larry Marshall Linney. In Davidson County, Cunningham took the majority with ease, raking in 66.7 percent of the votes as opposed to Marshall’s 16.44 percent. “He hasn’t had a lot of time to work on his campaign, but he’s come a long way, he really has,” Holman said. “We’re excited about the momentum.

Incumbent commissioners take top three spots Tuesday BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Davidson County held the status-quo Tuesday during Primary Election for county commissioner. The three incumbents — Commissioners Billy Joe Kepley, Don Truell and Sam Watford — took the top three spots in the Republican primary with 15.80 percent, 13.33 percent and 13.08 percent of the votes, respectively. “The three incumbents have a huge advantage with name recognition,” said
Lance Barrett, chairman of the Davidson County Republican Party. “It didn’t really surprise me that they finished one, two and three.” Kepley jokingly attributed the incumbents’ reelection to public attachment. “It’s like an old antique lamp in the house that you just don’t want to get rid of,” he said laughing. “It couldn’t be because of my look and my charm. Things get older, and they have sentimental value.” The lead vote-getter in the Republican primary, Kepley

says one of the things that helped his campaign was a series of Burma-Shave-type signs. Kepley used the campaign technique when he first ran for office in 1990, and brought them back this election. His Burma-Shave signs were a series of four signs, each with a phrase that together made a witty sentence. Kepley’s read “I love my friends,” “Maybe my enemies, too,” “I ask each to vote,” “For you know who.”

On April 25, BCH representatives, members of the Britton family, and community members participated in a ceremonial groundbreaking at the site for a new children’s group home in Ahoskie.
BCH breaks ground on new facility TIMES STAFF REPORT
Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina (BCH) staff, community members and friends came together on Sunday, April 25 at the groundbreaking for a new group home in Ahoskie. Named Britton Ministries, the home will provide residential services to aid children and families in the northeastern area of the state. As many as nine boys and girls will call the new facility “home.� BCH is headquartered in Thomasville at its Mills Home campus, the nonprofit’s oldest residential location. Nearly 200 guests packed the sanctuary of St. Johns Baptist Church for the afternoon groundbreaking ceremony. Attendees included John Pond, West Chowan Baptist Association Director of Missions; David Phelps, Member of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina’s Board of Directors; Johnnie Farmer, Chair of the Hertford County Commissioners, and Linda L. Blackburn, Mayor of the City of Ahoskie. “Your vision and dedication to establish a home in this area is to be commended,� Mayor Blackburn said to the crowd. “Children deserve to be able to share in every good thing life offers.� After the ceremony at the church, guests traveled the short distance to the property site located on Hwy 561 West/St. Johns-Menola Road. Children’s Homes, church and community representatives joined with members of the Britton family, who donated the land for the home, in the ceremonial groundbreaking. “We’ve come full circle with the establishment of Britton Ministries,�
said BCH president Michael C. Blackwell. “Baptists in this area played an integral role in first establishing Baptist Children’s Homes in 1885. It’s fitting that we would at last build a home here during the year of our 125th anniversary.� The area’s historic ties to BCH began in early 1885 with the Chowan Baptist Association in Ahoskie, known today as the West Chowan Baptist Association. During that time, the area churches that comprised the association agreed to give a $1,250 donation towards establishing BCH’s first location in Thomasville. Chowan was the first of the statewide Baptist associations to contribute. Later that year on November 11, John Mitchell, Pastor of Ahoskie Baptist Church (now First Baptist), boarded a train with nine-year-old Mary Presson of Hertford County. Mitchell escorted the girl on a 200-mile journey to her new home in Thomasville. Presson became the first child ever admitted into BCH’s care and November 11 is considered the official date of BCH’s anniversary. Today, churches efforts to assist with Britton Ministries draw similar parallels to the Children’s Homes’ beginnings. The morning of the groundbreaking, Blackwell recounted Presson and Mitchell’s historic trip at the late reverend’s former church, First Baptist Church in Ahoskie. At the end of the service, Pastor Daniel Glaze presented Blackwell with a check from the church for the Ahoskie-based home. “It’s astounding to witness churches in this area pledge their support for the new group home,� Blackwell explained. “Their faithful and sacrificial support of BCH

is just as it was 125 years earlier.� Connarista Baptist Church in Aulander recently contributed a $10,000 gift, a substantial amount for the small congregation and the largest contribution in the church’s history. “Connarista has always been a supporter of Baptist Children’s Homes even though its ministries were away from us,� said John Tayloe, Deacon Chair at Connarista. “Once we became aware of BCH’s plans to build a home in our community we knew we needed to be supportive.� Since Connarista’s donation, other area churches have also made contributions including St. Johns Baptist Church, the location of Sunday’s groundbreaking ceremony. While Blackwell was
speaking at First Baptist, members of St. Johns’ voted to make their own gift. BCH looks to complete its $780,000 fundraising campaign for Britton Ministries soon and hopes to have the home built early next year. “We are so grateful to the Britton family as well as our fellow Baptists and community friends for making the dream of this much-needed home a reality,� Blackwell said. “I can think of no better way to celebrate Baptist Children’s Homes’ 125th anniversary than to establish Britton Ministries.� Anyone wishing to contribute to the Britton Ministries campaign can call Michael Blackwell at 1-800-476-3669. To learn more, visit BCH’s website at www.bchfamily.org.
I am so relieved! I just learned this week that the grand piano in the sanctuary of Heidelberg church was not involved in the most recent Yamaha recall. Yamaha has recalled over 20,000 pianos due to a problem with the pedal sticking, causing the pianists to play faster than they normally would, resulting in a dangerous number of accidentals. The sticky pedal also makes it harder for pianists to come to a full stop at the end of a piece making it extremely risky for audiences, including the choir and congregation alike. Although there have
been a tremendous number of accidentals, fortunately so far it has caused no deafs. Analysts are wondering if this will put a damper on their bass market and if they will be able to sustain sales. The United States Congress is also considering calling the President of Yamaha for questioning as to when the company first learned about the treble. I’ll try to keep you updated on other musical happening around Thomasville in the future. Until then keep a song in your heart.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor In my mind and heart if I could select a Mother of The Year, it would be a 90-year-old wife and mother who married and raised her family in Thomsville. Recently, her husband died at the age of 91. She is still courageous and carrying on her life. This lady grew up on a farm in a family of 13 children and knew hard work, enjoying bare necessities. Sharing food, clothes, chores and responsibilities of the farm. Tending to the animals and raising their own food. With a lot of cooperation among her siblings, sharing instead of being greedy. School studies on their own and helping each other. Recreations, pleasures, enjoying functions was just being at home on the farm. The weekends were not as the children and teenagers know today. Children learned to be responsible, to believe in themselves and hopes of a happy, secure future. Hot rods, drugs, crime were almost non-existent. No need for locked doors at home or cars. Happy with own home sports, swimming holes, fishing, hunting, ball games in the broom sage fields was a thrill. Medications and physicans were rare. They took care of their own injuries and home remedies for colds and other infections. Enjoying fresh country air, clean water, non preservative foods, vegetables right out of the garden, and fruit fresh from the orchards. The way of life then compared to our fast pace today is almost like living in another world. Back to this wonder woman, she continues to be a blessing to her entire family. Giving advice, love and encouragement to others. She is a fine example of a Christian wife and mother. Her Church is and has always been a very important part of her life. She continues enjoying cooking, gardening and the seashore where she, her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren spent a lot of time at Kure Beach. This outstanding mother, Pearl Brinkley and husband Raeford, raised four proud daughters. They and their families are a very close knit family and respected by those who know them. Thank you, Pearl, for
being be an example of an outstanding mother for this generation. Van E. Brinkley Thomasville
To the Editor Gov. Bev Purdue and her loyal cohorts in the General Assembly are proudly touting their recent budget as an act of self-sacrifice, claiming to have made “draconian cuts” in the North Carolina budget. My, how well they hide the truth from all of us — even if not successfully hiding all the truth. The truth is the General Assembly has once again raised their spending by 2 percent. The actual spending from 2008-09 increased from 19.6 billion to 20 billion for 2009-10. After Purdue claiming “draconian cuts” for the 2010 budget, the current projected Governor’s spending is 20.7 billion. After reversions, it will be about 20.5 billion – a 2.5 percent increase in spending. It gets worse. The governor has released her new “budget” and purposefully left out the $1.6 billion dollars in stimulus funds. Perhaps Mr. Obama should demand the money back; after all, North Carolina politicians like Hugh Holliman and Bev Purdue keep forgetting to mention the Federal bailout money when they tell the “common people” their version of “budgeting.” Maybe (like Purdue’s recent illegal plane trips) it was a computer error. We are being lied to by our current politicians. During a terrible recession when most of us have had to reduce spending, our politicians are increasing their spending by $20 billion dollars. ($40 million for art and concerts!) Taxes are finite and they will run out very soon. We are in trillions of dollars in debt to communist and tyrannical nations who hate us. Our current state and Federal government — both Senate and House — are controlled by the Democratic Party and they will only continue to raise taxes and suffocate small businesses and job creation. They will do nothing to stop forced annexations. We cannot afford more irresponsible spending and corruption. We can not afford another Democratic majority. Keith Bost Lexington
The global war ... well, something VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Even as investigators were hunting for the perpetrator of the botched “man-caused disaster” in Times Square, our cool homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, was reassuring a frazzled nation that the failed bombing appeared to be an isolated incident — a “one-off ” — and avoided the notion of (much less the word) “terrorism.” Thankfully, law enforcement agencies refrain from leaping to conclusions before they have all the facts. Not Janet. And citizens should not infer anything based on a litany of historical and anecdotal evidence, even after the fact, lest some group feel demonized. “If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that,” explained New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — who has plenty of quarters to spare — during the investigation’s early stages, “homegrown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.” It could be anything, said the mayor of New York. A
mentally deranged person perhaps? Maybe some crazy from the fundamentalist faction of about 56 percent of us who opposed health care reform? After all, in the deep recesses of some imaginations, conservatives are not above murdering hundreds of tourists to make a point about Obamacare. Or it could be something totally unanticipated! For example, Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old naturalized American citizen from Pakistan who was taken into custody at Kennedy Airport as he attempted to escape to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A senior U.S. official said Shahzad already admitted to interrogators that he had received (not very effective) bomb-making tips during his five-month trip to Pakistan. Reason dictates Shahzad wasn’t upset about reconciliation. It is also clear that Shahzad worked “alone” in the same way that Nidal Hasan or Najibullah Zazi or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab or that bumpkin who threatened the “South Park” creators or the 9/11 terrorists or Umayyad and his armies worked alone. If I had to guess 25 cents, I’d bet the administration makes no mention of fundamentalist Islam, even when it reluctantly admits we’re dealing with “terror.” Yet such an obvious admission is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of any brand of foreign policy. It is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of the idealistic notion that we can “eradicate terrorism,” nor is it the naive idea that
a charismatic president can plead for friendship enough times that jihadists worldwide will be lulled into submission and awe. After all, the administration never has been scared to call out despots and extremists, such as insurance companies, Wall Street executives, tea party activists and the Israeli government. This is the Department of Homeland Security that issued a report alerting us to potential violence from “right-wing extremists” who are ginned up about “illegal immigration,” “federal power” and the Second Amendment. (So at least half of you qualify.) Why not engage in one of those frank discussions the president always is pretending to have with the American people? How can we deal with a problem if we’re not even allowed to talk about it honestly? Now, if this attempted man-made disaster had been perpetrated by a member of a white power militia, it would have been a “one-off.” As it turns out, however, we are dealing with something utterly predictable and increasingly common. I just don’t know what to call it or whom to blame. David Harsanyi is a columnist at The Denver Post and the author of “Nanny State.” Visit his website at www.DavidHarsanyi.com.

FROM PAGE A1 CLEAR From page A1 the volunteers who helped me along the way. They gave me so much of their time, and I wanted to win for them as much as I did for me.” Grice will now face Democrat Tommy Evans on Nov. 4, but he said he plans to take a little time off from campaigning following a grueling few months of stumping. “I’m going to do a little trout fishing,” said Grice. “I want everybody to recycle those [campaign] signs. Put them in the garage until September and then we’ll pull them back out. People are probably tired of seeing all those signs. Let’s give everybody a break.” For Hege, the loss ends
a potential return to the position that made him a celebrity. Leading up to Tuesday’s primary, the former Davidson County sheriff who was removed from office in 2004 felt he had the support needed to get the victory. The matchup never materialized, however, as Hege trailed from the outset once early voting numbers were released. Hege could not be reached for comment. Protesters wanting Hege’s name removed the ballot on the grounds he is a convicted felon and therefore cannot be in the care, control or custody of a firearm plan on going through with a scheduled hearing at the board of elections on Friday morning. Melisia Prout, CEO of Salvation’s Way, a nonprofit organization that offers legal counsel
SPOTS From page A1
“In true seriousness, though, I have worked hard,” he said. “I have a reputation for doing my homework. I’ve worked hard on getting people to visit and tour, and our tourism has gone up from $80 million to $120 million since I’ve been working on that.” But while slots one through three were a no-brainer for Barrett, it was the fourth Republican commissioner that eluded the chairman. “I didn’t really know how to figure the fourth spot,” he said. Todd Yates ended up stealing the last commissioner slot with 10.32 percent of the votes, narrowly making it past Larry Allen’s 10.11 percent. In fact, earlier in the night Allen had significantly more votes than Yates did. “I thought Larry Allen would have the fourth spot,” Barrett said. “Todd Yates coming in fourth, I did not see that coming. I didn’t know enough about him to figure that he would pull it. But everyone I talked to has nothing but good things to say about him.” Republican candidates Eric Osborne, Owen Moore, Eddie Gallimore, Kenneth Cavender, Dwight Cornelison and Joseph Lee Byerly also did not make it past the primary. The Democrats had no incumbents to carry an easy victory as far as name recognition goes, but Jason Hedrick — who ended up the lead vote-getter — still carries a reputation, especially from his involvement with Extreme Home Makeover. “The Hedrick name is very wellknown in this county,” said Roy Holman, chairman of the Davidson County
SENATE From page A1 He’s got a lot of work to do, we all do.” Besides the U.S. Senate race, the Democrats had a relatively tame primary. “Our primaries have been kind of quiet,” Holman said. The Republicans saw a bit more action, though still without many surprises. Rep. Howard Coble (RN.C.) easily beat his five opponents for the U.S. House of Representatives District 6 seat, gaining 63.65 percent of the votes. Billy Yow came next with 16 percent, while James Taylor, Dr. Cathy Hinson, Jeff Phillips and Jon Mangin took the last four slots. The Republican race for U.S. House of Representatives District 12 seat ran a little tighter. Scott Cumbie won with 39.49 percent of the votes, while Greg Dority came in a close second with 34.3 percent. William Gillenwater fell in third. At the state level, Chairman of the Davidson County Republican Party Lance Barrett said he anticipated a solid win by incumbent Jerry Dockham, who defeated challenger Dick Johnson
to low income families, said she will be at the hearing and will try to disqualify Hege from running for any public office, not just sheriff. “[Hege] is not qualified to be the dog catcher,” Prout said. “I can’t get into it any more than that. We’re happy with [Tuesday’s] results. I’m ecstatic.” Friday’s hearing will start at 8:30 a.m. on the fourth floor of the Davidson County Governmental Center. There were five convicted felons running for sheriff in the 2010 primary election across North Carolina. The counties included Avery, Cleveland, McDowell, Wilkes and Washington.

Democratic Party. “And I don’t think that was a big surprise.” Hedrick snagged 24.43 percent of the votes. Second in line came Ronald Swicegood with 21.34 percent, while Kevin Williams and Jeff Switzer took the last two spots with 21.09 percent and 18.22 percent, respectively. Phillip Olshinski failed to advance to General Election. “The other people, except for Jeff Switzer, are kind of unknown, young, new people,” Holman said. “It was just kind of a toss-up between the three of them. The Hedrick name is very wellknown throughout the county and that helped him.” Hedrick himself recognized how much his name boosted him in the primaries, and he says that he knows the story may be a little different come November. “I’m excited about getting on with it and going onto the General Election now, seeing how I can perform against the incumbents,” Hedrick said. “It may be a different story in the General Election. I just got to keep my name out there and keep in front of everybody, doing everything I can to let everyone know I care.” And while Hedrick continues to fundraise, shake hands and otherwise stay in the public eye, Holman said the party as a whole has confidence in its candidate. “You just like him right off the top,” Holman said. “He’s going to make us a good candidate and we would love to see him be in there in November and win this thing.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 888-3576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com
for the N.C. House of Representatives District 80 seat with 64.09 percent of the votes. Rayne Brown beat Davidson County Commissioner Fred McClure for the N.C. House of Representatives District 81, collecting 59.72 percent of votes. “The main thing that needs to be said about that race is she developed a very good group of grassroots supporters two years ago when she ran, and it’s very obvious that she held that group together,” Barrett said. Regardless of the results, both sides of the ballot said there was an increase in voter turnout this year. Of the 101,093 registered voters in Davidson County, about 20,636 people cast ballots Tuesday, according to unofficial numbers from the county Board of Elections office. That totals to about 20.41 percent of registered voters. The Thomasville precinct recorded between 20 and 30 percent voter turnout for the day. In 2006 — the last mid-term primary election — only 9,975 residents showed up on Election Day. “We didn’t quite expect this many people to come out,” Holman said. “We had a decent turnout, I thought, with the fact
that it’s not our big race yet until November.” Holman said that the Cunningham race for U.S. Senate probably brought Democrats to the polls, while the high-profile Sheriff ’s race most likely drew Republicans. The number of unaffiliated voters and Democrats who registered as unaffiliated that turned up at the Republican primaries really helped to boost their numbers, Barrett said. “It was sort of like a perfect storm there that all came together,” he said. Before Election Day, Barret had predicted around 11-12,000 ballots cast for the Republican primary. Instead, more than 15,000 people came out to vote, at least for the Sheriff ’s race.

Governor’s proposed budget could force hard cuts for city schools BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Thomasville City Schools could be forced to cut personnel should Governor Bev Perdue’s state budget get passed as is. At the TCS monthly board meeting Tuesday night, Superintendent Keith Tobin said that the school system is already expecting to lose about $1 million, but Perdue’s plan to cut a key source of funding to the school system could result in job losses. Tobin said part of Perdue’s budget calls for the removal of the Disadvantaged Student Supplemental Fund (DSSF), a program established in 2004 that gives money to improve the education of at-risk students. TCS is one of the 16 original school systems to receive the money, and removing that funding will cost TCS $500,000, possibly putting jobs in jeopardy. “That will be a tremendous hit for us,” Tobin said. “We’re hoping that [the cut] will not go through. That’s money we will lose on top of the other money. We have a significant amount of money that we will have to make up if the governor’s budget goes through as written. There will be some compromising going on, but it’s still scary to think that we could lose more than $1 million of additional money in our school system. If that happens, we’re going to have to make some hard choices.” Tammy Stromko, TCS’ executive director of business, presented her new budget plan based on the past two years that accounts for a $510,000 discretionary cut, losing $400,000 in school improvement funding and an additional $100,000 loss from Reading First funds. Perdue’s budget, however, calls for an additional 3.8 percent cut in discretionary spending, totaling $575,000, cutting assistant principal allotments and atrisk money, eliminating non-instruction support personnel money, equaling $732,000, and paying back furloughs. “I’m not going to say we’ll cut people,” said Tobin. “I will do everything in my power as a superintendent to avoid cutting people. If that money is taken away from us, it will be hard not to do that. When you look at that kind of money, you only make that up by cutting personnel. I paint that picture because it’s out there. The budget has been proposed and there are some hits in it for education.”
Stromko faced a budget crisis last year but said she managed to handle it because she had the flexibility to do so. Perdue’s proposed budget will remove that flexibility, leaving Stromko little wiggle room. “One of the reasons why we made it through last year was that the state gave us some flexibility, a lot of flexibility, with our teacher positions,” Stromko said. “If we lose that flexibility with our teacher positions, and it is in the governor’s budget to lose that flexibility, I can’t do what I did this year. We really will be in a pickle if all that happens. That was the way I could make ends meet. If I don’t have that I can’t make ends meet.” Tobin said he didn’t expect Perdue’s budget to get passed as is and feels some compromises will be made by state legislators. The state budget should be passed by July. In other news: • Mike Ingram, TCS’ technology director, presented a restructuring plan for Thomasville Primary School after it failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) last year. The plan, which only goes into effect if TPS doesn’t meet AYP again this year, is a result of sanctions imposed from the No Child Left Behind Act. • TCS named TPS’ Jim Eldridge and Amanda Davis, Tony Clark from Thomasville Middle School and Thomasville High School’s Cynthia Tobin its monthly VITAL award winners for exemplary service to the school system. • TCS recognized Robert Gray from Thomasville High School for winning first place in spread sheet applications from the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). • Board members approved a new nonrenewal or non-reemployment of teachers policy code. The board, upon recommendation of the superintendent, may refuse to renew the contract of a probationary teacher who is not under contract for any cause it deems sufficient, provided the cause is not arbitrary, capricious, discriminatory, or for personal or political reasons. A teacher whose contract is not renewed may request to receive written notice of the reasons for nonrenewal.

How to determine a good deal on home paper products triple-price! This same strategy works for figuring out the best price on paper towels, too. — Terri D., Minnesota
ADVICE
COLOR KEEPER
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
There’s a question that shows up in my mailbox a lot, and it’s one that has gone unanswered until now. “How can I compare prices for toilet paper when there is no standard size?” For years, I’ve searched for a formula that would offer a way to find a bargain on bath tissue. Today’s first reader tip offers just that: a quick and easy way to compare across all the variations and packaging sizes.
TIP OF THE MONTH
Shop for bath tissue the way you shop for carpet or fabric: by the price per square foot. There is no standard square footage for a roll, but the measurements are listed on the package. I have found that the closer the price is to the square feet of tissue in the package the better the deal is for two-ply tissue. For example, if there are 525 square feet of tissue total, the price should be no more than $5.25. I have seen 360 square feet of tissue selling for $9. That is almost
Years ago, I worked for the Gap, back when you still could buy unwashed Levi’s. We always suggested that you dry-clean your jeans or slacks just once before laundering them for the first time. The chemicals in the dry cleaning process help set the dye into the fibers, so they do not fade as quickly. — Diane K., Ohio
PURSE-FREE I don’t carry all of my membership cards everywhere I go, and I even have stopped carrying a purse or a wallet. I only carry my license and any cards I know I’ll need that particular day. This may seem a little extreme, but it happened as a gradual result of leaving my credit cards at home. Instead of swiping my rewards cards, I just give the cashier my phone number, and I still get all the benefits. This arrangement rarely has caused me a problem, and I have found living purse-free to be incredibly liberating. — Lorelei O., e-mail

Friends With Fur, Feathers and Scales
Being Kind to Animals
You may be big and strong. You can probably get yourself something to eat and pick out your own clothes. But can you take care of everything you need? Can you pay for your food and housing? You need a grown-up to do that for you. You are the grown-up in your pets’ lives. They depend on you for everything. For example, if you forget to fill your dog’s water bowl, it is a big deal for the dog. He can’t fill the bowl himself. He needs you to do it for him.
Be sure your cat or dog wears a collar with tags. Think about getting a tiny computer chip identifier for each of them. This can help people return a lost pet to you safely. It is important that even your indoor cats wear tags. Accidents can happen. Cats can get out. Experts say fewer than five out of every 100 lost cats without collars are returned to their owners. Keep your dog on a leash. If a pet gets lost, it can’t tell people where it lives.
Showing and needing love
Loyal friends
Have you ever missed supper? How did it feel to be hungry? Do you believe animals have some of the same feelings that humans do? Your pet can feel hunger, fear, affection, thirst, pain and pleasure, just like you do. Your pet can’t say the words “I love you,� but when it sleeps at the foot of your bed, jumps in your lap, licks you or puts its paw on you, it is saying, “I love you.� An animal’s love is special. For many people, an animal’s love is the only love they have.
Our pets are completely loyal to us. We need to treat them well. Pets will love you all the time. They don’t care what you are wearing or if you know what the latest fads are. We need to love and protect these friends.

A Family Choice Asking questions Responsibility for a pet begins before you even choose it. You and your family need to think carefully about whether you will be able to care for a pet. Whether to get a new pet needs to be a decision the whole family makes. Ask yourselves, “Are we being fair to the animal?� Will you be leaving your pet alone for long periods of time? It is especially unfair to leave a young dog alone for a long time. Ask yourselves other questions: Does your landlord allow pets? Can your family afford to care for a pet? Is there enough space for the animal to exercise? Remember that if you adopt a pet when you are 8 years old, that pet might still be alive when you go away to college. Be sure your parents will be happy to keep caring for it.

Are animals special to you? Maybe you have pets. Whether you are loving your own pets or love to watch creatures in the wild, animals bring joy to our world. It is important that people treat animals well. Be Kind to Animals Week is May 2-8 this year. In celebration, The Mini Page interviewed an expert from the American Humane Association, the sponsor of this special week.
This girl cares for donkeys. People who live in the country may get to be around many kinds of animals, such as horses, cows, pigs or chickens. Caring for animals is a serious responsibility.
The right thing to do Think about how you’ll feel when your animal is older. It might have mats in its fur or not have the energy to play. An older pet is the same animal it was when it was a puppy or kitten. It still needs to be loved.
Deciding not to have a pet can be the responsible thing to do, too. Often when people get a new pet, they are happy to pay attention to it and care for it. But after a few weeks, the excitement might wear off.

How to Be Kind
All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?
Some more tips
Experts say that in the last 25 years there has been a big change in how people think about animals. Kids today are much more concerned about animals’ feelings and health. About 15 years ago, from 10 million to 20 million animals were killed each year because there was no room for them in shelters or homes. Today it is down to about 4 million to 5 million each year. People are being more responsible about their pets. But there are still too many homeless animals. Every day, about a million animals in shelters wait for someone to give them a home.
s )F YOU SEE AN ANIMAL BEING HURT tell an adult. Do NOT approach the animal or mean person yourself. s 2EMIND YOUR PARENTS TO take your pet to the veterinarian regularly. s !SK YOUR PARENTS TO GET YOUR dogs and cats spayed or neutered. This means the vet will do a simple operation so your pet can’t have puppies or kittens. This helps make sure there are enough loving homes for all the animals.

Shelters
Many animals in shelters were left there by people they loved. The dog or cat may have gone from sleeping at the foot of the bed to a cage. These animals didn’t do anything wrong. Rescuing an animal from a shelter is a great thing to do. You might Dogs love to share activities with people. also help raise money for your local shelter. 3OME KIDS ARE HAVING SHELTER Add` i]gdj\] ndjg cZlheVeZg [dg hidg^Zh birthday parties.

With the final regular season games in the books, the Central Carolina Conference will begin tournament play today, starting with baseball. Winners of the conference season, Central Davidson, along with second place Salisbury, will have opening round bye’s today. No. 6 seed Lexington will travel to No. 3 East Davidson for a 4:30 p.m. start. The Golden Eagles were in position to earn a bye in the first round, but recent losses to the Spar-

The Bulldogs are coming off their first conference win, a 14-0 flogging over Lexington in five innings on Tuesday. The 5-4 winner will play Central at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the semifinals, while the 6-3 winner faces Salisbury at 7. The finals will be held Monday at 7. Semifinals and the championship game will be played at West. In softball, the Spartans ran the table in league play to claim the top spot. East, the
No. 2 seed, joins Central in getting a bye for Monday’s first round. Those two games will see No. 6 Lexington take on West and Thomasville battle against Salisbury. The winner of the 5-4 game gets the Spartans at 5 p.m. and the 6-3 victor takes on E. Davidson at 7. The finals will be Wednesday at 7. Semifinals and the championship game will be played at Central.

NCHSAA 3-A STATE TENNIS PLAYOFFS
Ledford ends season with tough 5-4 loss
ZACH KEPLEY
BY ZACH KEPLEY
Sports Editor
Sports Editor Ledford tennis coach Randy Grimes knew the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state tennis playoffs was going to be difficult to get out of, and his thoughts were spot on. Dropping four of six singles matches, the Panthers needed to win all three doubles matches over Northern Guilford to advance. They only got two, losing 5-4 to the Nighthawks and seeing their season end much too early. “I knew it would be tough getting out of the first round no matter who we play,” Grimes said. “I’m disappointed but not surprised. I’m just happy as hell we battled all day.” The day started off with a win in singles, as No. 4 player Thomas Edwards defeated his opponent 6-2, 6-1. Ledford would lose the next three and were in danger of losing the match before doubles play even began. Nathaniel Lundrigan won 6-2, 6-1 over David McSwain at No. 6; No. 5 Michael Zimmerschied defeated Jay Buchanan 6-3, 7-5; and No. 1 Alex Southard beat Landon Rogers 6-1, 7-5. Ledford freshman Ricky Ydrovo temporarily got his team back on

depot, and Sandy walked across the stage when her husband’s name was called to accept his award. “I was very thrilled, but it is bittersweet that he’s not able to know,” Sandy said. “I’m very honored to be able to accept in his honor. It hurts like crazy that he’s not able to accept it.” Tom won awards on a regular basis throughout his 20-plus year career at The High Point Enterprise. Most came through the N.C. Press Associa-
By now, many of you have either seen or heard about Bowman Gray Stadium. A popular attraction made even more famous by the recent History Channel television series hit, “Madhouse,” the tightly-confined, quarter-mile short track has seen some of NASCAR’s greatest drivers participate the last 61 years. Now, in its 62nd season, it is more popular than ever, and I must admit, I am a diehard fan. Dating back to the days Ralph Brinkley raced at the track, I have seen some wild moments happen on and off the track. Due to its flat corners and short distance, about the only way the featured Modified Division drivers can make a pass is to move the car in front of them out of the way. That leads to confrontations that take place both on the track and in the pits. To many, these altercations seem out of place and a bit ridiculous. But these drivers are passionate about what they do and if they feel like they have been wronged, they will take action. As portrayed by the show, the drivers have regular jobs, spending whatever free time they have working on the cars. They sacrifice time with their understanding families, and some have very little money to continue racing. With all the time and expense that goes into the car, having it wrecked by someone, to them, merits some sort of retaliation. I have been to several

That had the team and coaching staff fired up, as only one singles match remained on court. Senior Josh Edwards was in a tussle with Northern Guilford’s Russell Riley, as the two entered a tiebreaker. Edwards jumped out to an 8-3 lead and needed
only two more points to tie the team score at 3-3. Riley won the next two points, then Edwards had a chance to grab a match point opportunity when his counterpart slipped. His shot would miss, and Riley would rally to tie the score at 8-8. Riley played the next ball into the net, handing Edwards a match point
chance. This time it was Edwards’ forehand finding the net. The game became tied again at 10-10, then Riley finally ended it. Edwards hit long on consecutive points, crouching down on the bench in disbelief as the Nighthawks led 4-2 and needed a lone doubles

Berry honored with sportswriter award BY STEVE HANF HPE Those who knew him in passing offered similar sentiments. “I certainly appreciated his work,” said John Swofford, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference. “It was tragic to lose somebody that talented,” added Woody Durham, the voice of the Tar Heels. “And that young.” Those who knew Tom Berry a little better certainly echoed those sentiments. Ron Morris, sports columnist for the
Columbia (S.C.) State, worked for the Durham Morning Herald when Tom wrote for the Durham Sun in the mid ‘80s. Some 20 years later, their seats in the Carolina Panthers’ press box were right next to each other. “Tom had that dry sense of humor,” Morris said. “He was a fun guy to be around.” They certainly would have enjoyed mingling again Monday night in Salisbury for the annual National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association awards program. Berry was voted North
Carolina’s sportswriter of the year by the NSSA panel — an honor given posthumously in the wake of his death Aug. 30. “As soon as I heard about (the award), I thought it was a great thing,” Morris said. “The only sad part about it is he didn’t win before he died.” That, more than anything, was the feeling from those who knew Tom best. His wife, Sandy, and younger brother Greg attended the banquet at Salisbury’s historic train

Prize earnings see increase at Bowman Gray thanks to television exposure TIMES STAFF REPORT Bowman Gray Stadium’s historic 62nd year is off to a roaring start — not only in terms of racing action but also in terms of spectator attendance. And with the increased crowds, Bowman Gray Stadium Racing management proudly announces an increase to prize earnings for competitors. The opening night crowd for Stadium racing is always one of the biggest of the season and the rain checks issued on April 24 and favorable weather for May 1 only added to the potential for a large crowd on Saturday. Then, of course, the new interest in Bowman Gray Stadium Racing generated by the recent “Madhouse” television show has had a sizeable effect on attendance. “We’ve been blessed, and we’ve had a great turnout from the community,” said Gray Garrison, promoter of Bowman Gray Stadium. “It took all the drivers and race teams to make this happen, so we’d like to give back to them to show our appreciation.” Garrison hopes that the larger crowds and interest in Stadium racing will lead to more sponsorships for competitors from all divisions. “I think in this tough economy, the new excitement has been a breath of fresh air for Stadium

Fans packed Bowman Gray Stadium last Saturday night to watch the season opener. Fans of the show “Madhouse” came from all over the country to see the event. competitors looking for sponsorships. Hopefully, it’s been easier and will be easier for them to get more sponsorship money,” said Garrison. In addition to the extra potential sponsorship revenue for drivers, race teams will now receive increased prize earnings directly each night. For years, the top 10 Modified finishers each night have received a $100 credit towards purchasing tires. This prize money will continue, but new for 2010 — the remainder of the Modified field will also receive a $50 credit each event towards the purchase of tires. Also starting this season, a similar bonus will now exist for the other
three divisions. For each night, the top 10 finishers in the Sportsman Series and the Street Stock Series will receive a $25 credit towards the purchase of tires. For the Stadium Stock Series, the top 10 finishers in each of the two races will receive a $25 tire credit. “It ends up being over a 10 percent increase in our weekly prize money for competitors,” said Garrison. “We hope the drivers and crew members know that we do appreciate them, and hopefully this will show them our thanks for all the efforts that they put forth.” Many expect the crowds to still be larger than normal for this

As I arrived at the track around 7 p.m., I was greeted with a long line of cars trying to make their way off of the highway. I knew the show would attract more people, but I could not believe the crowd that had was already there. It took me nearly an hour to circle around the track and get parked, and as I
entered the gate, there were patrons lined up three-deep in some spots around the top wall of the stands. Luckily, I was able to squeeze into a seat that my father-inlaw had saved for me. In all the years I have attended, I had never seen the entire crowd rise to their feet for the start of a modified race. It was something special to see, and I am sure Track Promoter Gray Garrison had to have goosebumps on his arms. It may not be for everyone, but it is something I highly encourage people to experience just once. Besides, where else can you get a night chocked full of excitement for only $10.

the March FLW Tour event on Lake Norman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fish at High Rock are always shallow. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just cover as much water as I could with a topwater bait and a jig.â&#x20AC;? Takeoff and weigh-in will be at Tamarac Marina and campground located at 9120 Bringle Ferry Rd. in Salisbury Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public. Bass Fishing League competition is a 24-divi-
win to advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In tough matches with really good teams, it comes down to a match or two just like that, either in a tiebreak or one that comes down to the very last shot,â&#x20AC;? said Grimes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough on the coach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an emotional rollercoaster.â&#x20AC;? Ledford still had a glimmer of hope, but Grimes at that point had a feeling that was a match they needed to secure. Northern Guilford wasted no time picking up a doubles win at No. 3, putting an end to the Ledford season. It would have been easy at that point for the remaining Panther players on court to give up, but Grimes refused to let them. In heroic fashion, Josh Edwards picked himself up off the canvas and put a point on the board for his team along with his partner Buchanan.

That effort, according to Grimes is what makes him so proud of his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was his last hurrah,â&#x20AC;? said Grimes of Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell the heart of the team when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already lost in singles and you battle out there in doubles. I love kids that will not lay down.â&#x20AC;? Rogers and Thomas Edwards cleaned up a rousing win at No. 1 doubles, giving Ledford a strong finish to the season. Though a trip to the second round is not in its future, Ledford tennis was the epitome of pride Tuesday. Though defeated, they continued on, and that brought a pleasing conclusion to a heartbreaking evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys have battled all year long and have never laid down, and that is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? Grimes said.

Flood of activity for Duke football recruit BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The latest verbal commitment to the Duke football program got an unexpected day off from school Monday, but it was anything but a day for relaxation. Lucas Patrick, an offensive lineman from Brentwood, Tenn., sandwiched some football work in between a pair of projects: helping a nearby church and helping a friend dig out from the effects of flooding that has claimed 21 lives and closed down Brentwood High School on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty hectic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rain everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been crazy, with streets blocked off and a couple of bridges that are gone.â&#x20AC;? Friday, before the historic weather system hit, Patrick made a verbal commitment to play football for the Blue Devils beginning in 2011. The 6-4, 287-pounder also had scholarship offers from Arkansas, Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky and Memphis, and he was in serious talks with Virginia, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaching staff, however, made all the difference in the recruiting battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really committed to be a championship-caliber team,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
settle for anything short of championship-level effort. They get after it every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever I talk to the coaches, it about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go be great.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That just really impresses me because I want to win.â&#x20AC;? Patrick helped Brentwood reach the 2009 state semifinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to be really physical,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my strong points is run blocking. I need to work a little bit on my pass blocking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass that much at our school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I can still do that fairly well.â&#x20AC;? Run blocking and the kicking game were among top concerns for Duke coach David Cutcliffe during spring practice, and the Blue Devils appear to have improved in those areas away from the practice field with verbal commitments from Patrick and from Georgia kicker Will Monday, one of the most sought after specialists in the class of 2011. The Blue Devils also have continued their recent trend of securing in-state talent over the past few weeks, getting commitments from West Charlotte linebacker Britton Grier and Davie County wide receiver Joe Watson. Duke now has eight verbal commitments for the class that can sign binding letters of intent
in February; four are instate recruits. Monday, from Flowery Branch (Ga.) High School, is ranked as the No. 2 punter in the recruiting class, an appealing rank for a Duke program that was last in the ACC in punting this past season. Monday averaged 44 yards per punt as a junior and also is an accomplished kicker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dual-role guy; he can punt it and kick it as good as anybody,â&#x20AC;? Flowery Branch coach Lee Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Duke wants him just as a punter, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see once he gets the pads on and gets out there and showcases his abilities as kicker, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly find out if he can do both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pressure kind of guy. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crumbled under pressure. He kind of thrives on it.â&#x20AC;? Grier, a 6-2, 190-pound linebacker, had 75 tackles, highlighted by 15.5 sacks, for West Charlotte as a junior. He was garnering attention from UNC, N.C. State and East Carolina. Watson, a 6-3, 215-pound widedout with 4.5 speed, caught 40 passes for 682 yards and eight touchdowns for Davie this past season. Watson, who had a scholarship offer from Kentucky, might try to play baseball for the Blue Devils, as well.
BERRY From page B1 tion in contests open to everyone at newspapers throughout the state. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was different. The only winners of NSSA honors are supposed to be NSSA members, but the Enterprise never has belonged to that organization. Regular winners include Sammy Batten of the Fayetteville Observer and Lenox Rawlings from the Winston-Salem Journal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud that he won the sportswriting award, but much prouder of what a caring person he was,â&#x20AC;? Rawlings said earlier Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen anyone work harder than Tom, or more softly. Sometimes, he was still writing when I left the Masters press building or the Panthers stadium or any gym near you, which might be an industry record. He never complained. He usually smiled and chuckled and kept on going.â&#x20AC;? Rawlings said many of Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues encouraged him to take it easy two years ago following a stunning cancer diagnosis that sidelined Tom most of the summer. He returned healthy and eager to work, and a year later received a clean bill of health. The stories kept coming, but in midAugust, Tom complained a bit about a lack of energy and not feeling quite right. He saw his doctor, planned a visit to Duke University Medical Center after the Wyndham Championship and actually covered the first three rounds of Greensboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PGA tournament despite feeling worse and worse. A week after his final story appeared in the Enterprise, he was gone at the age of 48, having succumbed to an infection due to complications from an unknown bout of leukemia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He absolutely loved what he did,â&#x20AC;? Sandy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom was one of the rare people you meet who absolutely was doing what he wanted to do. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if he was covering the Super Bowl, the Masters, prep sports or a community swim meet, that was the most important athlete to him at the time.â&#x20AC;? But no matter where he was, Tom
also was thinking about the important people at home. Sandy remembered when Tom covered a Saturday evening game in Philadelphia and drove home through the night to be at a baby dedication service for a family member the next morning. Rawlings remembered a similar event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember the last time we shared a house, with others, at Augusta. He worked all day Sunday and then traveled all the way home at night so he could drive the family to Washington the next morning,â&#x20AC;? Rawlings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he wanted to do, so he did it. We had some great days together, and I miss him. He was dedicated and dependable and respected for being himself.â&#x20AC;? Ashlyn, Rachel and Leah knew Dad would be there to make breakfast for them in the mornings and help them get ready for school, Sandy recalled. Now Ashlyn is getting ready to graduate from Western Guilford High School. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll head to North Carolina in the fall, where Tom graduated and where he met Sandy: not through regular campus life, of course, but when Tom was coming back into town to cover a UNC football game and had a friend set him up on a blind date. Monday night, when the sportswriters of the year were being introduced in a raucous ceremony, the emcee waited for the applause to subside for New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. As Sandy stepped to the stage, the story of Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long career, his many achievements, and his death were told to the silent crowd. Those in attendance then rose as one to applaud what Tom had done over the years and what Sandy was doing on this night. As she returned to her table, she sat down, nodded in appreciation at those around her and looked down at the plaque which she was presented. She smiled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what appeared to be a smile of genuine happiness no matter the bittersweet nature of the night. Another happy memory of Tom to add to a collection too vast to count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing OK,â&#x20AC;? Sandy said of the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult, tough for all of us. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we have to.â&#x20AC;?

Tactics for personal change TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist Would the four tactics from last week’s article (sense of urgency, Kotter, 2008) speak to the quest for personal as well as organizational change? Let’s use one client’s story to check it out. Nearing retirement age, Don (not his real name) wants to enter those well-deserved years with fresh energy and good health. At the top of his game careerwise, he is ready for his emphasis to shift. Wellness is the new target. 1. Bring the outside inside Right away, this fits. Having never worked with a coach, Don is opening himself to new ideas and a significant new support system. He is clearly bringing the outside in as he completes assessments, considers new goals, looks deeply into his own needs and values, and charts a new course. He will continue to do so as he works with a coach in the weeks ahead, while forming new habits and insuring accountability for the things HE really wants to happen. Behave with true urgency every single day With true urgency Don sees the importance of a new life-long lifestyle, rather a quick fix. First of all, he is not broken. Don is a high functioning
professional who has put many other important things in life ahead of his personal challenge to exercise and eat well. He has had a successful career, is involved with a local church, and loves to spend time with family. Many aspects of his life are going along very well. But Don knows the time is NOW to be alert and move toward positive change. He has already proven to himself that he can lose the weight – he has “been there, done that”. Losing and re-gaining (Kotter’s “episodic change”) the weight is not a cycle he wants to repeat. Don now wants every single day to be one where he chooses well to be well. 3. View crisis as a potential opportunity, as well as a threat Once again, we can quickly see that this viewpoint is key in Don’s new world. With diabetes looming and blood pressure rising, a potential crisis is real. The threat of loss from current health challenges will be compounded by other problems as the years go by. But opportunity may also be knocking….. To connect with future possibilities, we completed an exercise where Don described how he would like his life to be around age eighty. Before you question that logic, recall Eubie Blake’s infamous line uttered at the ripe old age of 96: “If I’d known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.” In that spirit we considered life twenty years out and discovered some important – really important – aspects of how Don would like his life to be. The entries collectively formed a
compelling word picture of his future. The opportunity was as clear as the notes from Eubie’s ‘Charleston Rag’. Effectively confront the problem of “no, no’s” OK, so there may not be a no,no (someone who says NO to everything) lurking around Don’s corner, but you can bet there will be voices. We all carry around our ‘silent partners’ (Choice Points, Rice 2004) like it or not. These voices remind us of our failures (bless their hearts) and chide us at every opportunity. Others may also encourage us to not worry about new habits and just ‘enjoy life’. In their various guises, these are the no,no’s in the world of personal change. Send them packing by acknowledging their presence and then letting them know you’ve got this one. They really hate that! I’m betting on Don. .

BNC announces first quarter results TIMES STAFF REPORT
BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) announced today financial results for the first quarter of 2010. For the first quarter, net income available to common shareholders totaled $886,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share, an increase of 1% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $876,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2009. Total assets as of March 31, 2010 were $1.63 billion, an increase of 2% compared with $1.59 billion as of March 31, 2009. Total loans on March 31, 2010 were $1.09 billion, an increase of 8% from the $1.00 billion reported as of March 31, 2009. Investment securities decreased $100.8 million, or 22%, when compared to the $460.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2009. Deposits increased 5% over the one year period, with interestbearing demand deposits and savings increasing by $146.6 million, retail time deposits increasing by $134.3 million, and wholesale time deposits decreasing by $221.7 million over the same one year period, as our focus on core deposit growth began to show meaningful results. Commenting on the results, W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO,
noted, “There is much to be proud and excited about at our Company right now. Our first quarter continued to show that our investments in people and infrastructure are paying dividends for our shareholders in terms of higher asset quality and operating performance than most of our peers in North Carolina and the Southeast. In addition, the recent announcement of our FDIC-assisted acquisition of Beach First National Bank in Myrtle Beach, SC, was a significant event for our Company in many ways. It expanded our franchise into the Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head markets, both with significant future growth potential; the loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC minimizes the potential loss exposure on the acquired loan portfolio; and it provided further evidence of the confidence of the FDIC in our management team and the strength of our Company.” “While the Beach First transaction happened quickly, the preparation to take advantage of such an opportunity began twelve months earlier. The potential economic benefits of these transactions were clear very early. However, the diligence to understand the bid process, the infrastructure needed to ex-

The Grays setting a new standard in skilled nursing TIMES STAFF REPORT
Dick and Sarah Bennett are not new to the Skilled Nursing business. In March of 1990 they broke ground for The GrayBrier Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Archdale. The Bennett’s’ extensive background in Nursing Home Administration, consisting of 37 years of combined experience, allows the GrayBrier to run efficiently while offering excellent care. Richard and Sarah are still owners and operators to this day and are on-site daily to oversee operations and maintain their high operating standards. With the opening of The Shannon Gray Rehabilitation & Recovery Center in Jamestown, Jim Newman, a 14-year veteran of Nursing Home Administration, is now part of our management team. The Evergreens Health Care System convened a Task Force, made up of local hospital and health care professionals as well as other Guilford County leaders, in 2005. After extensive search for viable options for the future of the two Guilford County facilities, the decision was made to invite Richard and Sarah Bennett and their management company to consider providing for future nursing home operation and care of Evergreens patients including over 400 skilled
nursing home beds. The Bennett’s, through their company Canyon Management, accepted the responsibility of building and operating a new 150 bed facility in the Jamestown-High Point area. Ground breaking for this new facility took place in March of 2009. A Grand Opening event was held on March 26, 2010 for the 75,000-square-foot Shannon Gray. The Shannon Gray is a long- term care facility with a different focus. They will specialize in both in-patient and out –patient physical, occupational and speech therapy with a focus on short term rehab to home for the baby boomer generation. Located in Jamestown, the facility is one of only two in the state to feature its own Hydrotherapy Department consisting of a Hydroway System 2000 pool equipped with an underwater treadmill and real time video capability. The Shannon Gray will produce its own DVDs to submit to Orthopedic Surgeons to document gait and motion progress for post surgery patients. The OT dept. has its own real time living area simulating a home living atmosphere, as well as an “in house” automobile for return to real world training. Sensitivity/ Restoration Therapy is available based on a physician referral certifying
patients ability to react in operating an automobile to maintain a state drivers license. The facility includes the largest therapy department in the state with over 1,700 square feet of therapy space and every major piece of equipment available. In addition to therapy services, the facility offers 150 licensed Medicare/ Medicaid beds with 24/7 care, four communities boasting a homelike atmosphere, large resident rooms, private dining, sitting, and recreation areas. Walking into the main entrance of this facility it can be seen that the Bennett’s are truly setting a new standard for the industry. The facility recently began accepting new residents.

As we say often, great things happen when preparation meets opportunity. We sent a team of 46 from our NC franchise
to the area, and while the process was daunting, I could not be more proud of our team’s professionalism, compassion, patience and effectiveness through an emotional time for the employees and customers of Beach First. To date, due to the incredible efforts of our staff, the reception from the employees, customers and communities of Beach First have been overwhelmingly positive, and the integration process has progressed well as a result,” stated Montgomery.

Air Quality officials issue Code Orange health notice TIMES STAFF REPORT
RALEIGH – Air quality officials issued a health notice Wednesday for air pollution in the Charlotte, Triad and Triangle metropolitan areas on Thursday. Forecasters have predicted Code Orange conditions, which means that air quality in these areas is likely to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. In Code Orange conditions, people who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid moderate exertion outdoors in the afternoon. Sensitive groups include children and the elderly who are active outside, people who work or exercise outdoors, and those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments. The primary pollutant of concern is ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen. Ozone can be unhealthy to breathe, damage plants and reduce crop yields. High ozone levels generally occur on hot sunny days with stagnant air, when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react in the lower atmosphere. The air pollution forecast for Thursday predicts that ozone levels will exceed the federal standard of 0.075 parts per million (ppm) averaged over 8 hours. High ozone levels can impair breathing and aggravate

TIMES STAFF REPORT
RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin wants to remind North Carolinians that starting this week, approximately one million policyholders will begin receiving refund checks from their auto insurance companies totaling more than $50 million. The refund distribution is a result of the 2009 auto rate settlement with the N.C. Rate Bureau (NCRB) that Commissioner Goodwin signed last July. “These refund checks represent instances where North Carolina drivers were paying too much for their auto insurance, and I’m glad that these extra premium dollars plus interest will go back into their wallets,” said Commissioner Goodwin. “The refund distribution will occur in two different waves, the first starting this week and the second starting on Nov. 1.” Refund checks will be mailed to eligible policyholders. According to the settlement language, companies writing only six-month policies and companies writing both six-month and 12-month policies that expire prior to May 1, 2010, should send out refunds May 1 – July 31, 2010. All other refunds should be sent Nov. 1, 2010 to Jan. 31, 2011.

TIMES STAFF REPORT
About 100 people came Saturday to the beautiful grounds at March Motorcars outside Lexington, NC, for a Kentucky Derby party to raise funds for Pastor’s Pantry. Guests watched a telecast of Super Saver’s victory at Churchill Downs on a huge screen. They also cheered as four local men raced on foot across the March Motorcars lawn carrying glasses of grape juice on small trays in the Run for the Rose’, an event based on a similar prederby activity in Louisville, KY. Lexington’s Cindy McNeill, who might have set a record for the amount of foliage on top of her head, won the
derby hat contest. Guests also enjoyed a delicious dinner topped off with Derby Pie and served by On Time Catering of Lexington. And they participated in silent and live auctions. For a musical photo gallery of the event, see www.pastorspantry.org. The derby party is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Pastor’s Pantry. The pantry is a nonprofit food bank that provides monthly groceries for senior adults (60 years of age and older) in financial need in Davidson County, NC. For more information, contact Bill Keesler, executive director, at pastorspantry@lexcominc.net or (336) 249-8824.
