TPS reading initiative receives recognition
Election Board dismisses petition
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer LEXINGTON — The issue of whether or not a convicted felon can run for sheriff will have to wait for another day. Davidson County Board of Elections voted to dismiss the petition that former sherHege iff Gerald Hege is not qualified to run for office as moot Friday morning at a hearing in the Davidson County Governmental Center. Following Tuesday’s primary election results, where Hege finished a distant second to incumbent sheriff David Grice, the BOE voted to dismiss the challenge due to the fact Hege no longer is a candidate. “It is my belief at this time that, as stated, we were presented with a challenge to a candidate,” board member Jon Myers said at the hearing. “Based on Tuesday results, as Mr. Hege is no longer a candidate, it is my contention that the issue is moot.” While board members resolved the candidacy issue, they elected not to proceed with a hearing on whether Hege, a convicted felon, can be in the care, custody or control of firearms. Protesters claimed that Hege should not be allowed to run for sheriff on those grounds, and ar-

vidson County cared for its first patient. “They spent years trying to birth it,” Owen said. “It was out of their professional concern and their care and their love for our county and our folks here that they wanted to make this happen.” Hospice of Davidson County celebrated that birth this past week, honoring its 25th anniversary with a series of activities and an anniversary dinner. “Twenty-five years in business in a community is a long time,” said Lisa Hathaway, Hospice’s chief executive officer. “We really are considered a hometown hospice.” The dinner reception, held
An reading initiative five years in the making at Thomasville Primary School received state recognition this week. TPS was named an Exemplary Reading First School of North Carolina by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), becoming one of 24 schools across the state to receive such an award. TPS will receive $5,000 to be used for purchasing more books for the school. “TPS is being recognized for meeting the exemplary criteria of a Reading First school,” Mike Ingram, Thomasville City Schools’ Technology and Reading First Director, said. “This is the culmination of a five-year grant and this goes to show what a great job and hard work all our teaches who have been a part of this have done over the course of the program.” Five years ago, TPS was awarded more than $2 million for the Reading First initiative, a program that is designed to ensure all children are at or above reading level by the third grade. This year, every third, fourth and fifth grade student in TCS reached Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Reading First is a bi-product of the No Child Left Behind Act. In order to receive the grant, the DPI considers a school’s history, growth and trajectory of improved student achievement in reading. This year’s fifth graders are

Resting in Dignity Hospice of Davidson County celebrates 25 year anniversary BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer It began based on an ideal, the dream to further improve health care. In a time when hospices were starting to spring up all across the nation, a small group of doctors, nurses and citizens put their heads together, researching end-of-life care at various facilities in the county. “They recognized that folks in Davidson County and folks that were experiencing death in the ecumenical settings, in the hospital settings, really didn’t have a lot of resources that were collaborative,” said Laura Owen, director of communications and development at Hospice in Davidson County.

Thomasville City Beautification Chair Carol Brown resents outgoing committee member Butch Langfitt with a print of the Big Chair.
Community Sponsor
After living in the community for more than 10 years, Butch Langfitt decided to step out of the box and do something in return — he joined the Thomasville Beautification Committee. “I had been living in Thomasville since 1983,” he said. “That had been a really good experience. When I had the opportunity to give something back — and I also thought I had some skills in the area that the Beautification Committee needs — I took advantage and signed
up.” Langfitt — whose real name is Silas — signed on in 1992, and now, 18 years later, he has stepped down. “We wanted to do something to honor him,” said Carol Brown, director of the committee. “He’s very dedicated in his job. He was very thorough. I would pick on him and say he kept me on my toes.” To celebrate Langfitt’s departure from the committee, Brown presented the former secretary treasurer with a picture of the Big Chair and a plaque thanking him for his service.

“He’s the type if he likes you, you’ve got a friend for life,” Brown said. “I understand him and his wife have been contributors to different things in the community and the community college. They’re both dedicated as far as being entrepreneur-type people.” Brown calls the extent of Langfitt’s commitment and his staunch dedication to the committee admirable, saying it expresses a lot about his personality. “He made time for all of that in his retirement years,”

How to stop the charity junk mail monster
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
Dear Mary: Every day, I receive donation requests from charities. Usually, they enclose “gifts,� such as calendars, greeting cards, address labels, notepads, religious tokens and even gloves and blankets. I’ve tried sending requests for no gifts, but they are ignored. Some charities send mailings on a weekly basis. If I could, I’d donate to them all, but I can’t, and I’m getting both frustrated and angry. I’m reluctant to make any donation at all because my name immediately goes onto a list. How can I stop these donation requests and be sure that what money I do have to give goes to reputable charities that will use it wisely without adding me to mailing lists for others? — Joy M., e-mail
Dear Joy: Sadly, with so many people unemployed, there are fewer dollars available to charities. That means
charities are competing and scrambling hard to capture as many of the available dollars as possible. Some, as you are learning, are pulling out all the stops. Donating once to a charity without a donor privacy policy in place can result in an onslaught of mail appeals from numerous unrelated businesses and other nonprofit organizations because they do sell their lists. You can limit the amount of mail you get by following these tips: — Only donate to charities that have written donor privacy policies in place. Look for a link on the charity’s home page or donations page, and read the policy carefully, or look for this information on the printed material. — Get in touch with the charities directly. Request that they stop sending you appeals. While you are on the phone, be sure to get the names and numbers of the third parties to whom your name may have been sold. Contact them, as well. Responsible and well-run charities are grateful for your donations and should be willing to comply with your requests. — Concentrate your giving. Sending small donations to a variety of organizations is a sure way to get your name on a shared mailing list. Instead, focus your donations on just one or two
worthy organizations to reduce your chances of getting inundated with other requests. — Give anonymously. You can give to any charity through Charity Navigator (http://www. CharityNavigator. org) and request that your donation be sent anonymously to that organization. This will ensure that you avoid any future contact from the organization you’re supporting, and it will prevent your information from being shared with third parties. Stopping all of this unwanted mail will take time. The normal avenues for stopping junk mail are not likely to work in your situation, as nonprofits are not bound to following direct mail rules and regulations. Do not respond to the mail you want to stop. Contact only confirms that your address is good and that you are reading their material. Your silence will get you off the lists. In the meantime, place a wastebasket next to your mailbox, and drop the junk in there as it arrives. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt is the founder of www. DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books.

Hughes receives highest award from SV Civitan TIMES STAFF REPORT
The Silver Valley Civitan Club presented John T. Hughes the Honor Key during the club observance of its 51st charter anniversary. It is the highest award presented by Civitan Clubs and recognizes long, sincere and dedicated service to Civitan and the community. John Hughes joined the Silver Valley Civitan Club 34 years ago in April 1976. He has quietly been one of the most dependable and highly supportive members to every president that has served during that span. He was elected by the club membership as the Distinguished Civitan twice, 1993 and 1997, and successfully nominated as the Area Distinguished Civitan in 1995. The Hughes family including his wife, Debbie, and son, Bryan, received the Distinguished Civitan Family Award from the club in 1989. Hughes has served at least eleven terms as a Director, seven terms as sergeant-atarms and secretary in 1977-78. He actively served on nearly 30 teams or committees totaling more than 200 assignments during his Civitan career. This dedicated Civitan has shown particular interest in Project Santa Claus having served diligently in all phases. Team leaders for PSC are called captains with one exception. Hughes longevity of heading the Food & Fruit Team, nearly 30 years, earned him the rank of Major many years ago.

Athens or Washington, it’s the size of government BY MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist “The President of Greece warned last night that his country stood on the brink of the abyss after three people were killed when an antigovernment mob set fire to the Athens bank where they worked.” — The Times Online That “anti-government mob,” it must be understood, consisted of civil servants, tens of thousands of whom took to the streets to protest austerity measures. Greece is in the midst of a general strike. Airports are closed. Trains are not running. Classrooms are empty. Trash is piling up. The Wall Street Journal reports that “Angry youths rampaged through the center of Athens, torching several businesses and vehicles and smashing shop windows. Protesters and police clashed in front of parliament and fought running street battles around the city.” The Greek crisis, like a fraying rope on a footbridge, is also sending shudders throughout the Eurozone. This is more than a financial crisis. This is a national meltdown. And while facile comparisons to the U.S. must be avoided, there are nonetheless lessons for us —particularly in light of the direction the Democratic Party wants to travel. First, the differences. Greece is a small nation of 11.3 million people. Its GDP is estimated to be in the range of $333 billion (though with recent revelations of government dishonesty about deficit numbers, all figures must be viewed skeptically). Greece partakes zestily in the Mediterranean tradition of tax avoidance, and corruption is endemic. Many ordinary transactions are greased with “fakelaki” (little envelopes) or “rousfeti” (political favors). Daniel Kaufmann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, compared 40 industrialized countries and concluded that “If Greece had better control of corruption — not to Swedish standards, but even at Spain’s level — it would have had a smaller budget deficit by 4 percent of gross domestic product.” So Greece has cultural problems that contribute to its economic implosion. But there are similarities to the U.S. as well — and because we have elected Democrats, they are growing. By the end of 2011, Greece’s debt will be 150 percent of its GDP. According to a March report by the Congressional Budget Office, President Obama’s 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in cumulative budget deficits over the next 10 years — $1.2 trillion more than the administration projected — which will increase our debt to GDP ratio to 90 percent by 2020.
One in three Greeks works for the government. Government employees enjoy higher wages, more munificent benefits, and earlier retirements than private sector employees. Civil servants can retire after 35 years of service at 80 percent of their highest salary and enjoy lavish health plans, vacations, and other perks. Because they are so numerous, and because Greece is highly centralized, public sector unions hardly have to negotiate. They simply vote in their preferred bosses. Some civil servants receive bonuses for using computers, others for arriving at work on time. Forestry workers get a bonus for outdoor work. All civil servants receive 14 yearly checks for 12 months’ work. And it’s impossible to fire them — even for the grossest incompetence. Public sector unions are growing in the U.S. More than 50 percent of all union members are now public employees who have negotiated sweet deals with local, state, and federal governments. As economic historian John Steele Gordon points out, “Federal workers now earn, in wages and benefits, about twice what their private-sector equivalents get paid. State workers often have Cadillac health plans and retirement benefits far above the private sector average: 80 percent of publicsector workers have pension benefits, only 50 percent in the private sector. Many can retire at age 50.” While private employers were shedding jobs during the recession, state and local governments hired 110,000 new workers. Obama’s new spending will result in a 14.5 percent increase in the number of federal employees in just two years. And he has looked after union interests with particular zeal, whether at General Motors and Chrysler, or by funneling one-third of stimulus spending to state and local governments, or by repealing the rule that required unions to disclose their spending. And in a corrupt feedback loop that may not be so very different after all from the Greek practice, public employee unions give generously to Democratic candidates, both in cash contributions and by manning phone banks, getting out the vote, and so on. It’s no coincidence that the states with the most powerful public sector unions -- New Jersey, California, and New York -- are facing the most severe budget crises. Greece is in flames, but if you look around, you can smell the smoke here as well.

Groups making progress downtown THIS-N-THATS
LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful spring weather. I don’t think we left any stone unturned from the last article. Lot’s of activity downtown last weekend with the Chainsaw Carving Competition and Spring Daze. It’s good to see downtown active. PACE (People Achieving Community Enhancement), a volunteer committee, took on the task of building a downtown amphitheater. The facility is located on Memorial Park Drive between East Main and East Guilford streets on property formerly occupied in the 50s and early 60s by a new car dealership. Ms. Sue Hunter gave me a tour of the facility last Saturday during Spring Daze. The facility is almost complete. If you want to get involved you can participate by purchasing “paver” bricks, or by purchasing a “bench” to be used at the site for casual time. The paver bricks can be inscribed as a memorial to or in honor of someone. Contact any member of P.A.C.E. for more information. Across the street from the Amphitheater is the Thomasville Community Garden which is sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church. Garden spots are open to anyone. You may call the church at 476-7900 for more information. •••
A couple of Sundays ago, Gayle took the afternoon off from preparing Sunday evening dinner for our children, their spouses, our grandchildren and great grandchildren. For the lack of a Thomasville restaurant that serves a meat and vegetables being open on Sundays, several of our family members drive over to the K&W on Westchester Drive for Sunday evening dinner. When we go over there on Sunday evenings, we always see quite a few familiar Thomasville couples and families there also. If anyone owns or operates a Thomasville restaurant, this is a hint! Thomasville could use a cafeteria or a restaurant where you can get a good Sunday lunch or evening meal. I threw a strong hint out to Fagg Nowlan of J&S Cafeteria this past November but he apparently didn’t catch it. On the way back to Thomasville, we stopped by the fountain and clock tower downtown. We sat and watched the fountain as we usually do. The great-grandchildren are fascinated by it. The tulips and other spring flowers were in bloom. The area around the Big Chair and the town commons is a beautiful site. Keep up the good work Beautification Committee and those who maintain the sites! (Now, if we could get some of those ugly building fronts downtown refurbished, it would be much prettier.) How about it City Inspection Officials, can we put the pressure on the property owners? ••• We spent a couple of days at our mountain home last week. We decided to pack a picnic and drive over toward the Hendersonville area with an ultimate destination of visiting Tryon. Their slogan is “Welcome
to the most wonderful place you may not have heard of: Tryon, North Carolina.” We’re located smack dab in the center of the triangle formed by Asheville, N.C., Greenville and Spartanburg, S.C.. We’re close to everything but away from it all.” Their website says “If you want endless nightlife, countless restaurants and shopping that rivals the Mall of America? See you around. Just not around here. Our claim to fame is quality — not quantity — of life. We’ve always plugged Tryon as the friendliest and prettiest town in the South.” The town has a toy horse as its mascot and the owner of the local hardware store does great impressions — of train whistles! If you’re ever up that way, drop in. It’s neat. Tryon’s downtown area was very active and clean. As we left Tryon to head back over to Gerton, we ran into a terrible traffic jam. President Obama’s plane was preparing to land at Asheville’s airport. Motorist had pulled off the road trying to get a peek at Air Force 1. One interesting note, the Downtown Farmers Market opens May 22; support our local farmers and gardeners. On our recent trip to visit my sister in Florida, Gayle found on a wall in a restaurant in Clearwater. “The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything and the young know everything.” ••• Hey guys, tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Hope you don’t forget your sweetie. A card would be nice but a gift or a nice meal would be better. Happy Mother’s Day, to all you fine ladies!

A6 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, May 8, 2010
FROM PAGE A1 HOSPICE From page A1 Tuesday night, marked the big celebration of the year. Three of the five founders were present for the event, and national Hospice and Palliative Care organization president, Dr. J. Donald Schumacher, presented as keynote speaker. County Commission Chairman Dr. Max Walser also was present to recognize Hospice for its services to Davidson County, and representatives from Hospice partners Lexington Memorial Hospital and Thomasville Medical Center attended. “We felt that it was a big milestone not just for the agency but for the community,” Owen said. Besides the dinner, Hospice has planned a few smaller events for staff and has incorporated a 25th anniversary logo into its marketing campaign. “Health care and health care reform and hospices and end-of-life care are becoming more and more important as our popu-
BOARD From page A1 rived at the hearing ready to prove their case. The hearing never happened. “I think it was the right decision by the board,” said Robert Weckworth, a Greensboro attorney representing the protesters. “The issue is now moot because Hege lost the primary election on Tuesday. Had he won, it would have made it a relevant issue and we would’ve been in a hearing. If he refiles for a candidacy down the road, it becomes a relevant issue again. He is no longer a candidate and this was a candidate challenge. It’s pretty clear cut.” Representatives from both sides said they would like to have seen a hearing to resolve the issue. Hege’s attorney, Shawn Fraley, asked the board to conduct the hearing so that everyone involved could have some resolution. “I think my lawyer was right to just go ahead and get it over with instead of putting it off,” Hege said. “I wish they had went ahead and resolved it because leaving it hanging out there doesn’t accomplish anything.” Hege wasn’t the only convicted felon running for sheriff in North Carolina, and a decision by the board could have set a precedent for future candidates. Hege feels others will follow in his footsteps. “I thought it would be better to go ahead and resolve it here and set a precedent for other boards of elections across the state

lation gets older,” Owen said. Which is exactly why celebrating Hospice’s existence is so important, the communications director says. “It’s really changing lives and it’s impacting our community,” Owens said. “So many families have had unresolved loss. Hospice is able to partner with them, and not only the patient with their clinical and psychophysical and spiritual care, now we’re able to get with the families earlier and help them prepare.” Now an organization with 30-plus acres of land, 10 in-patient rooms and more than 70 fulltime staff, Hospice of Davidson County has changed a lot over its 25year existence. In its early days, Hospice boasted less than 10 volunteer employees and served less than 40 patients a year. Today, the non-profit serves more than 500 patients per year. It also has added a bereavement program, offering counseling and grief support, which touches 200 families. Services such as the
bereavement program set hospices apart from other health care facilities. Hospices use a collaborative effort between physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, hospice aids, social workers, chaplains, counselors and volunteers to provide a personalized plan of care for each patient. “We have a really big team that’s going to focus on that patient and focus on the needs of the family because when someone’s dying, it’s not just physical,” Owen said. Working with 30 other organizations in the area, Hospice serves patients in hospitals, in nursing homes, at the in-patient facility or at their own homes. “Our nurses and social workers meet people where they’re at in their end-of-life journey,” Hathaway said. “We are able to really surround that patient and family with the different services that they need.” Dr. Walser has experienced that quality endof-life service first-hand. About six years ago, his 91-year-old father — who had been staying in a hos-
pice in Winston-Salem — knew he was dying. He wanted to go home to Davidson County to die. Walser contacted the Hospice of Davidson County, and by that night the organization had a bed and everything set up in his father’s house. “The care and all the attention he got here locally was extraordinary,” Walser said. “Hospice is something that touches every person in this community at some point or another.” The emphasis on quality care and providing people with the ability to live out their last days in peace forms the cornerstone of Hospice’s mission — one it has been striving for over the past 25 years. “No one needs to die alone,” Hathaway said. “No one needs to die in pain. A lot of people think, ‘Well you’re dying. You’re just kind of forgotten.’ We want you to live until you die.”
and get it done once and for all,” said Hege. “My whole basis is why let someone go ahead and file. I think they need to resolve it and get it out of the way because I’m sure there are always going to be people who made a mistake who want to run for public office. You’ve got a lot people out there who have made mistakes, and I’d encourage anybody who has made a mistake to get back up, dust themselves off and at least try.” Fraley asked the board to have the hearing in case Hege becomes a write-in candidate in November. Hege said he is not pushing for write-in ballots, but he can’t control what people do. “I’m not, but I’m sure you’ll have public supporters who will want to do that,” Hege said. “Once they walk into the booth they can do what they want to.” Melisia Prout, CEO of Salvation’s Way, a nonprofit organization who provides legal counsel to low income families, has been the face of the protest and said that she respects the board’s decision but will return should Hege seek another run at the public office. “I would’ve been happy to have the hearing but I understand the board’s decision,” said Prout. “If he comes back in a few years to refile than we will definitely be back here again. Hopefully, the board will decide then that it is relevant and they will hear it.” Hege said afterwards that he plans to retire from politics and will spend more time with his family.

components of reading. There is a lot more consistency with instruction in the classroom. It’s very progressional. It’s really neat and has taken a lot of work.” Crowder said coaches also have been working with pre-school students to get them ready for kindergarten. Crowder said students learn through numerous hands-on reading exercises and working together in group settings. “Being recognized like this was just icing on the cake,” said Crowder. Ingram said the program will end after this year. Crowder said TPS will continue its course of instruction in terms of meeting the needs of the children. Grant money has already been used to stock classroom libraries and purchase instructional material for students.
Man charged with sex offenses TIMES STAFF REPORT
Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office arrested a Lexington man for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 7-year-old. Herbert James DeLosh, 55, of 204 Gordon Lane in Lexington, is charged with one count of first degree rape, two counts of first degree sex offense with a child and five counts of taking indecent liberties with a child following his arrest on Thursday. According to a DCSO press release, detectives initiated an investigation regarding a sex offense against a 7-year-old juvenile on May 5. Following the investigation, detectives allege that between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2009, DeLosh, who already was incarcerated in Davidson County Jail after being charged in September by detectives with numerous other sex offenses involving three juvenile victims, was issued a $350,000 secured bond, which was in addition to a $315,000 secured bond he received in September.
From page A1 the first group to cycle through the program. Ingram said TPS made AYP in reading without any statistical help. “Our coaches have been working with these children since kindergarten,” said Ingram. “For the first time in 10 years, the kids in third, fourth and fifth grade made AYP in reading.” Students are taught reading skills through assessments and diagnosis. Teachers are given professional development in research based strategies in order to help meet the student’s needs. “It has made a big difference with the students,” Melanie Crowder, a reading coach at TPS, said. “Teachers receive in-depth training on the
SERVICE From page A1 she said. Since Langfitt joined the committee, he says he has seen it grown tremendously. In 1992, the committee basically just planted flowers. Now, the group plants flowers, works on the aesthetic appeal of downtown, refurbishes parks, works on a few landscaping projects, refurbishes areas that have gotten overgrown and picks up litter. “It has a lot more projects than it did when I first joined,” he said. “It’s really expanded.” But even though Langfitt has enjoyed his time with the committee, saying “I wouldn’t have stayed 18 years if I hadn’t,” the long-time volunteer decided it was his time to step down. “I’d been out here for 18 years, and I thought, ‘You know, I think I’ve contributed all that I can contribute and I need to let someone else have my space,’” Langfitt said. Brown said that even though the committee has already filled Langfitt’s position, his presence will be missed. For Brown, the connection is almost personal — Langfitt was one of three committee members who had been on the board before she started. And his

detail-oriented attitude and dependable personality helped others on the committee tremendously, Brown says. “Butch was very thorough,” she said. “I told him, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do, you keep me in line.’” Langfitt even took the mission of the Beautification Committee to heart in his own life. Brown said she eventually gave him his own safety vest and pickup stick because she saw him conducting his own litter sweeps so often. “We’re going to miss him,” Brown said. “I can’t imagine it without him.”

What is depression trying to do to me? WOMEN OF SEASONS
LaSHONDA CRAWFORD Syndicated Columnist
“What can depression do to me? I’m saved! I have God on my side!” Yes, that is true, but just because you are saved and have God on your side, it doesn’t mean that depression will not knock on your door. Depression is a powerful and influential spirit sent by the enemy himself. It operates in many ways. The bible reminds us to be careful when dealing with the enemy, because he uses wicked devices. Isaiah 32:7 says, “… He deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaketh right.”
This means that the devil will try to attack those who maybe suffering from the circumstances of life and in the midst of their distress, the enemy will send a device called “depression” and it will try to distract you, mislead you into thinking that things aren’t going to get better, or your situation will not change. Even when others try to encourage you in some circumstances, that depression spirit will block out the words that are meant to empower to you. Depression can manifest itself in various ways and just because you are a child of God, it doesn’t eliminate you from being attack. Don’t believe me? Well, Isaiah 54:17 tells us, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” This tells us that the devices and weapons that the enemy have designed to attack us, will attack. That battle is inevitable. We cannot stop what life has prepared for us.
Death, job loss, broken relationships, foreclosures, changes and other situations can not be totally controlled by us, things happen to us unexpected. This is how God strengthens us, builds up our character and our ability to believe in Him and not our faith in our jobs, our relationships or our money, but God has to sometimes train and direct our faith towards Him, and Him alone. Depression is a heavy spirit that applies pressure to your mind, which in turns affects your body. Everything has to go through your mind, your ability to believe, the Word of God, your emotions, your ability to resolve problems; your determination resides in your mind. When one makes up their mind, anything is possible, so depression attacks that mind first to gain control of the body and the emotions. It causes you to be saddened by the problems that you are facing. This is not an ordinary sadden, but it comes attached with a heavy spirit, the kind that

which can make impressions on individuals whom, are not strong enough to fight back. If you are a weak individual in Christ, fighting more than one heavy evil spirit can result in a predictable battle. You have already given to the enemy, but what the devil tells you is that, “just give up, you can’t win, it is alright to quit, no one cares about you, give up” The DEVIL IS a LIE! You have to begin fighting back. First you have to realize that you are in warfare. Second, you then have to recognize the devices that the enemy has placed before you, which in this case is “depression.” Tell the devil that you know what he is up to and call that spirit out by its assigned name. Third, pull up the Word that has been hidden in your heart, so that you will not sin against God, and put it on the devil. Remember who you are. Get up, look in the mirror, wash your face, clean house, I mean the earthly vessel, and go before God. If you have
to force yourself, get up out of that bed. Open the windows in the house, open the doors, let the air in your home, put on some of your “good clothes,” dress yourself up, even if you don’t have anywhere to go, begin to make yourself feel good physically first, then began to strengthen up spiritually. You can fight! You can win! Why? As believers, we are more than conquerors and we can do all things through Jesus Christ. Don’t let Satan win, don’t let him defeat you. Know what the enemy is attempting to do to you, for II Corinthians 2:11 says, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” Women of Seasons Ministry strives to reach out into the community in every way possible.

This spirit cause you not to fight back, even when the Spirit of God tries to tell you to pick up His Word and read, that spirit, that evil spirit tries to distract you from being obedient to that voice that is crying out for help, crying to be feed so that it could be utilized to fight the wicked device sent by Satan to destroy you. In some cases, depression can bring people to different levels. Emotional distress can be described in ways such as crying for no apparent reasons or becoming angry with others. And sometimes as believers, we can catch ourselves in this mode and with the grace of God, pull ourselves out. But it is not all true in every situation, even Saints of God, get pulled down further. Depression has relationships with other spirits; like loneliness, suicidal thoughts,

Eagles beat LHS, Hornets by same score BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson hammered Salisbury 11-1 in a Central Carolina Conference semifinal on Friday, and will advance to the championship game on Monday at 7 p.m. where it will play West Davidson. The Green Dragons knocked off top-seeded Central Davidson. The title game will be played at West. On Monday, East had a little tougher time than expected getting past the Lexington Yellow Jackets in the first round, but still managed to end the game in six innings winning by an 11-1 score. Braxton Shetley improved to 3-1 for the year on the mound. At the plate, Davin Lawson had two hits and two RBIs, Keaton Hawks had two hits and Justin Mounts a pair of RBIs. Lexington actually led after the first inning and challenged the Golden Eagles for a while, but much of that can be attributed to failed assignments. On a few different occasions, East would have a runner attempting to steal a base, but wound up getting doubled-up when the hitter would pop the ball up. “We are not supposed to be hitting the ball in those situations,” said East head coach Dan

East Davidson second baseman Justin Mounts prepares to tag out a would-be Lexington base stealer on Thursday in the first round of the Central Carolina Conference baseball tournament. Tricarico. “Those are not hit and runs. Those situations we are either swinging through the ball protecting the runner, or we are taking the pitch because the guy has already gotten the base stolen.” Shetley tied the game in the second inning with a sacrifice fly, then retired the side in the third before East tacked on three more. Justin Hulin reached
on a fielder’s choice with one out, then went to second on a Hawks single to left. Tyler Lequire walked, then Lawson drew a free pass to bring in Hulin. Hawks and Lequire each scored thanks to an error by the Lexington shortstop, making it 4-1. East was in good shape to get plenty more, but Shetley popped up while Mounts tried to steal second, which resulted in a
double play. “Those are the mental mistakes I was talking about,” said Tricarico. “That is why it stayed as close as it did, because we wound up taking ourselves out of innings.” EDHS would continue to build on the lead scoring a run in the fourth, fourth in the fifth and a pair in the sixth. Lexington could not rattle Shetley to get back in it. The Jackets tried
desperately to make something happen in the sixth loading the bases with two outs, but Shetley coaxed a popup to second base that Preston Wilson safely hauled in. Braxton pitched well,” said Tricarico. “He did great last week against West Forsyth and came back and did okay today.” Daniel Albright singled home Hawks in the sixth to end it.

Wear twins to transfer out of UNC program BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun
Your Town. Your Times. Subscribe today! 888-3511 GAME REPORT DEADLINES: Monday-Friday 9 p.m.
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina’s oncedeep frontcourt got significantly thinner with the surprise announcement Thursday that twins David and Travis Wear are transferring. “We are extremely disappointed that David and Travis are leaving the program,” UNC coach Roy Williams said in a statement released by the school. “Their father called me [Wednesday] night and asked for their release, which came as a complete surprise. “I met with both kids in mid-April for our typical end-of-year meetings and together we worked on their development plans for next season. Both David and Travis seemed to be excited about their futures at North Carolina.” Their departures, combined with sophomore Ed Davis’ decision to leave for the NBA and Deon Thompson’s graduation, has quickly taken UNC from six post players to two. One of the returners, Tyler Zeller, has shown great promise but has been repeatedly sidelined by injuries each of his first two

Heels need run to make tourney BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — If the ACC Tournament started today, North Carolina, which has been to four consecutive College World Series, would be on the outside looking in. The young Tar Heels sit in ninth place in the league and the ACC Tournament takes just the top eight teams, with the top two teams from the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions earning automatic bids. The ACC Tournament starts May 26 in Greensboro. Fortunately for UNC it has nine more conference games to climb back into the tournament, starting with a weekend series against Wake Forest at Boshamer Stadium. “At no point this year did we expect to be in the position that we are in,” senior shortstop Ryan Graepel said. “We still don’t feel like we are an inferior ACC team, if
that’s what you want to call it. We are heading into this weekend with a lot of confidence. We don’t expect anything less than to be playing in Greensboro when the regular season is over.” And UNC’s schedule appears to give it a chance to sneak into the confer-

After the Tar Heels (28-17, 813 ACC) face the Demon Deacons (12-32, 4-17) they will travel to top-ranked Virginia (40-9, 18-6) before closing the regular season at home against Virginia Tech (32-15, 1410).
N.C. State (28-18, 11-13) currently holds the final spot in the ACC Tournament, but it has just two more ACC series remaining — at Florida State (34-11, 14-7) and at home against Duke (25-21, 717). Still, Graepel said the Tar Heels aren’t focusing on what anybody else is doing right now and know their post-season fate rests in their own hands. “We know that our backs are against the wall a little bit right now but if we start focusing on that and focusing on things that we can’t control then we are not going to play as well,” Graepel said. “We feel like if we take care of our own business then the rest is going to take care of itself.” And for Coach Mike Fox the key the next few games will be his team’s pitching.

Saving the memory OFF THE PORCH
DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist I spent five days on the river last week taking folks fishing. There were lots of Kodak moments in that much fishing time and some of the shots will likely hang on someone’s wall or rest on their desk for quite a long time. We took a shot of almost every big fish caught and we caught over a hundred over the five days. Photos now are easier than ever and a way to record a great trip that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. One of the worst things that can happen on a catch and release fishing trip is to catch a fish that’s the fish of a lifetime and have nothing to record it. There’s really no excuse for this to happen with the modern technology we have. Even if you do get the photo, the photo still has to be a good one to really be something special. I’m constantly getting a photo of a great fish that’s been in the cooler all day and looks worse than anything you’d see in the fish market. I get pictures of the deer of a lifetime hanging off the tailgate
of a pickup, wild turkeys in someone’s garage, and photos of an angler with the sun behind his back creating a silhouette of his 10-pound bass that might as well be a cardboard cutout. With modern cameras, there’s really no excuse for a bad photo; all you have to do is think about what you’re doing and you can get a great picture. Since we have the ability to get a good exposure and focus so easily, the main thing that makes bad pictures from great opportunities is poor composition. Here are a few things to remember that will help you take photos you’ll be proud of. Think about the background When you take a picture, think about how the background will look. Shots with a cluttered garage in the back ground reduce a spectacular shot to something that’s useful to only you. The best place for the picture is right where you caught the fish or shot the deer. Modern high res compact cameras make that part easy. Remember then that you have 360 degrees of background and the one that looks out over the water or out across the woods or fields is almost always best. Really try to avoid having uninvolved people in the shot. If your shot is back lighted, use the flash I use flash in most of my close outdoor shots. That’s how photographers get those vivid colors of fish and the drops of water suspended
in mid air. Flash is only useful in close shots under about 10 feet, depending on your camera. Never use a flash when there’s something like a tree limb in the foreground that might be distracting because the flash will light it up and detract from the picture. Also avoid shots with a strong backlight like bright sunshine. Even a flash can’t overcome the difference in light and your photo will be a dark silhouette. Side shadows are better than a backlit shot with faces in shadow. A really great shot is a sunset with the flash filling in. This gives you nature’s most beautiful backdrop and the flash fills in the details. Take a lot of shots “If you don’t tie good knots, tie a lot of knots” is a great rule in fishing. It also works in photography. The hardest thing for many people to get used to with digital cameras is that shots are free. If you’re computer literate, you don’t need to print anything unless you want to give it to someone or make a scrapbook. If you need one shot, take three. Use different angles and use flash one time and no flash the next. Mix it up and take a lot of shots. Make yourself recognizable I sometimes take a photo of a fish on the deck of the boat or a bird lying on a stump but most of the best outdoor shots have someone in them. You might be really proud of your truck
or 4-wheeler but a better photo is one with you in it. Having your fishing rod, rifle or shotgun in the photo records more of the event and makes a better photo. If you’re wearing sunglasses, take them off for the picture. If you’re wearing a cap and it’s putting your face in shadow, push it back a little so your face gets some light and use the flash to fill in. Look at the picture after the shot, you can shoot it again if you didn’t get it right. Do a little prep If you’re shooting a deer or other game, make sure there’s no blood showing in the shot. Tongues should be put back in the deer’s mouth. On really large game animals, put the hunter behind the animal, it makes the animal look larger and makes a better picture. Standing behind the fish or deer makes it look more spectacular. With fish, the angler should hold the fish horizontal in front of the camera, supporting it underneath its belly. Resist the temptation to push the fish too far into the camera, most folks have figured that out by now. Fish caught in the surf are often sandy, a little water splashed on the fish will restore the clean look and bring out the color. If there’s blood on the fish, rinse it off. Don’t Forget, You Can Make a Movie Almost all modern cameras now have movie features and the quality is remarkably good. I caught a 45” drum a few
years ago and one of the guys fishing with me had the presence of mind to video me landing the fish. It’s much more impressive than a simple photo and you can send it and have it for years. Modern cameras that cost $250.00 will take better photos than cameras that cost $2,000.00 twenty years ago. There’s really no excuse for not recording the great moments of your outdoor experiences with the technology we have. Besides, if you don’t take good pictures, I can’t use them in the paper. What Kind of Camera do I Need? While you can get better photos with an expensive camera, most of us will be fine with a two or three hundred dollar camera. I use a
Fugi Finepix and I’m now on my third one. When a new version with features I need comes out, I upgrade and give my old one away. I like the Nikon Coolpix L110 and the FinePix S1500 FD. Both are in the $250 range and have large display windows, video capacity, good lenses and 12 and 10 megapixel resolution. They’re small enough to carry and big enough to take almost any shot you need. The video is amazingly good. Both weigh under a pound and won’t ruin your life if the canoe turns over.

Jankowski, Dillon join HiToms TIMES STAFF REPORT The HiToms have announced the signing of a regular from the 2009 squad, Miami of Ohio sophomore J.J. Jankowski, and former Post 87 player and current Guilford Technical Community College freshman Matt Dillon. Last year, Jankowski lead the HiToms to the CPL playoffs. He made 15 appearances on the mound, 14 as a relief pitcher; compiling a 1.71 ERA and he worked 21.6 innings and allowed just five earned runs while firing 41 strikeouts.
WEAR From page B1 seasons. The other, John Henson, showed significant progress late in his freshman year. In a much more crowded frontcourt, Zeller and Henson combined to 15 points and nine rebounds last season. The twins averaged about 10 minutes apiece as freshmen. Travis averaged 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 32 games, while David put up 2.9 points and 1.7 rebounds in 27 games but missed the final nine games with a torn labrum in his left hip. UNC now has 10 scholarship players, including incoming perimeter players Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall and Reggie Bullock — ranked the No. 2 class by ESPN. com. That leaves the Tar Heels with three available scholarships. “I love both kids and they would have been very important parts of our team next season,” Williams said. “It is a significant blow to our team as we had four post players and now we are down to two. They are quality kids and will be quality players. “Our coaching staff will look at whatever options are available but it’s
Jankowski went 2-1 overall on the mound during the summer and picked up a save. While at Miami of Ohio, Jankowski has compiled quite a record on the mound for the RedHawks. So far this season, Jankowski has made 18 appearances with a 3-3 record with a 3.81 ERA, 31 strikeouts, 13 BB, and 7 saves. Joining Jankowski is High Point native and Guilford Technical Community College freshman Matt Dillon.

State commitment Luke Cothron (who is expected to sign with Auburn). “There really aren’t many rocks to look under at this point,” Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. “In my opinion, the best high school prospect they may be able to make a run at would be Kadeem Jack who stated last week that he’d like to attend prep school. Former B.C. signee Kevin Noreen is a crafty post player who is taking visits. “However, at this stage in the game there simply aren’t many directions to go.” The Wears haven’t yet said why they decided to change direction or where they’re likely to land, but speculation will be strong that the California products will end up on the West Coast. The Wears originally picked UNC over Arizona and UCLA and also had scholarship offers from Washington and Stanford.

round major league draft pick Matt Harvey. “We’ve got to pitch well,” Fox said. “We are who we are offensively. We are not going to hit a lot of homers. I mean we are going to have to take advantage of other team’s mistakes, string together a few hits.” And that’s exactly what UNC has done the past few weeks to win six of its past seven and put together its first four-game winning streak since March. With the Tar Heels starting to put together complete games, senior Mike Cavasinni is optimistic about his team’s chances to get into the ACC Tournament. “I think it’s going to be a great test on our part just seeing how well we can respond,” Cavasinni said. “See how these new guys can respond and see how much we can impress ourselves and see how well we can finish. Hopefully we can open some people’s eyes and show them how good we really are.”

A tribute to mothers UNCLE BILL HILL
BILL HILL Guest Columnist
Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day. This is a special day that we celebrate our precious Mother’s. To all of the Mothers out there, this is my special gift for you on your special day. I hope you enjoy.
MOTHERS
Somebody always has something to say whether it be negative or positive ... people share their thoughts with one another. Here are somebody’s thoughts on being a mother, as well as responses from mothers. Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after giving birth to her child. Somebody doesn’t know that once you have a child, normal is history. Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct. Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. Somebody said being a mother is boring. Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a learner’s permit. Somebody said if you’re a “good” mother, you’re child will “turn out good.” Somebody thinks a comes with directions and a guarantee. Somebody said “good” mothers never
raise their voices. Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor’s window. Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother. Somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math. Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery. Somebody never watched her “baby” get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten or placed him on a plane headed for military “boot camp.” Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child get’s married. Somebody doesn’t know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother’s heartstrings. Somebody said a mother’s job is done when her last child leaves home. Somebody never had grandchildren. Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don’t need to tell her. Somebody isn’t a mother. Please pass this along to all the mothers in your life.
FINAL THOUGHT A Precious Mother Mom, you’ve given me so much, Love from the heart And the warmth of your touch, The gift of life and you’re a friend to me. Thank you, We shared a special bond which only comes from God. I’m sure you’ll agree. As a child I would say,” Mom, I love you.” Now you’re my
mother so dear I love you even more with each and every year. If I could had chosen, I would have picked no other. Than for you to be my lifelong friend and Precious Mother. — Author unknown My Mother Kept A Garden My Mother kept a garden, A garden of the heart, She planted all the good things that gave my life it’s start. And encouraged me to dream, Fostering and nurturing the seeds of self-esteem. And when the winds and rain came, she protected me enoughBut not too much because she knew I’d need to stand up tough and strong. Her constant good example always taught me right from wrongMarkers for my pathway that will last a lifetime long. I am my Mother’s garden. I am her legacyAnd I hope today she feels the love reflected back from me. — Author unknown If you are near or far on this special day and you still have your mother, give her a hug or a call, because this is her special day! Mom, we love you! To all the readers, of the Thomasville Times, thank you for your support, your emails, getting to meet you in different places and your phone calls. I have truly been blessed. Be good, because Uncle Bill is watching! Guest Columnist Bill Hill can be reached at billyunclebill@aol.com.
