DOWNTOWN ON PACE New amphitheater and park to help bring foot traffic to center city
Car Cruise to raise funds for United Way BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
This summer has a chance to be the season that brings downtown Thomasville back to life. Thomasville’s new downtown amphitheater is all but finished, and those close to the project hope the outdoor facility is just the medicine Main Street needs to attract people to an area that has seen its share of struggles in recent years. Bands and other local organizations are already signing up to use the amphitheater, but Thomasville City Council is still hammering out the details regarding rules and regulations for its use. Councilman David Yemm said he expects guidelines to be approved when the council meets in June. “It’s mostly done,” Yemm said of the project. “We have a bunch of groups ready to do events out there. A lot of things are getting moving on it. By next month everything should be in place. It’s built, but a lot of the stuff on the back end hasn’t been completed yet as far as who’s going to use it and what’s going to be the rules when they do use it. The council it trying to play catch up right now.” Yemm said Thomasville City Schools and Mt. Zion church are planning

Dority requests runoff for District 12 nomination BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Greg Dority sent a letter to the N.C. Board of Elections Monday requesting a runoff election in the Republican primary for the U.S. House District 12. Dority, of Washington,
N.C., came in second in the Primary Election, taking 4,787 votes for 34.32 percent. Scott Cumbie of, WinstonSalem, earned the highest number of votes — 5,506 for 39.47 percent, just under the 40 percent required to win the race outright. In North Carolina, run-
off elections don’t happen automatically but instead require the request of the second-place finisher. “That seems to be what all the politicians are doing now,” said Davidson County Republican Chairman Lance Barrett. “I can understand why the other gentleman’s
asking for the runoff. He finished not far behind Cumbie. They invest so much into it — there’s so much at stake.” Unofficial results from the Board of Elections show that 13,949 ballots were cast in the 12th Congressional District,

County presents budget BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Davidson County’s 2010-11 budget — presented to the Board of Commissioners at its Tuesday night meeting — will remain essentially the same as last year’s budget, keeping the county property tax rate at an even level. The recommended budget sits at about $120 million, only a 1.1 percent increase from the adopted 2009-10 budget of around $119 million. Property tax would stay at 54 cents per $100 valuation, consistent with the rate it has been since 1994, said Assistant County Manager Zeb Hanner. “That’s been pretty consistent,” he said.

MARKING THE WAY
“We have the lowest tax rate of any contiguous county to us.” In fact, Davidson County has one of the lowest property taxes in the state, according to County Manager Robert Hyatt’s budget report. At the current rate, the tax will generate $64.5 million in revenue, an increase of $1.3 million from last year. But while the property tax base has grown, that increase has been offset by losses in other areas, particularly sales tax. Sales tax has decreased by about $7.7 million since Fiscal Year 2006-07. “People are not buying as much as they were at one time,” Hyatt said. One way to help boost sales tax is to buy locally, said Commissioner Fred Mc-

You did WHAT to her wedding dress? ADVICE
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
These days, the typical wedding is anything but cheap. After all, for most people, it is one of the most important days of their lives. Still, finding ways to keep the costs down is a noble endeavor. Today’s tips are among the best ever! I think that all you brides and grooms — and families who love them — will agree.
DRESS DUTY
I was going to take my daughter’s wedding dress to the dry cleaner, when I read the tags. It was made of 100 percent polyester, making it 100 percent washable. I placed the dress in a large net bag, used gentle detergent in cold water and washed it in the washing machine. I even dried it for four minutes on a medium setting in the dryer. Then I hung it up to finish drying. It came out beautifully. Since then, it has been worn two more times by friends. Each time it is washed, it comes out looking as if it just came off the rack. — Faylee J., Tennessee
BRIDE’S BLOOM
When I got married, money was tight. Because my wedding was in mid-October, I purchased potted mums in my wedding colors for less than $5 each. Wrapped in beautiful paper and ribbon, they dressed the altar. Afterward, I planted them in my garden. Twenty years later, I have a beautiful reminder of our wedding day when those mums bloom on our anniversary. — Kathy, Iowa
WEDDING WOES
I work at a photo lab. Here’s a scene I’ve encountered many times: A happy bride pops in with 25 single-use cameras that she put on the tables at her reception. The wedding photog-
rapher was only at the church for formal photos, so she counted on guests to take photos at the reception. She hoped for great candid shots of the event. Instead, children played with the cameras as toys, so she got floor shots and heads cut. I’ve had brides in tears because it was such a waste of money. Disappointment is the norm. There are other ways to save on photography. Brides should cut the cost of the wedding in ways that won’t sacrifice the pictures she will treasure in years to come! — Janice B., New York
PICTURE-PERFECT When shopping for photographers for my wedding, I contacted the publications department at a university with which I am associated. I was looking for a photography student who might photograph my wedding on the side. As it turned out, the man who does the photography for the university’s publications also does weddings. He charged me $200 for two hours. Then he gave me the rolls of film and let me do what I wanted with them. Today he would have given me a CD with the digital files. I took the film to a local camera shop and had it developed. In total, it cost less than $300. — Nancy C., e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

There’s no lying in baseball VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Boston Mayor Tom Menino recently delivered one of the most atrocious speeches in the history of oration when, during a dedication to hockey great Bobby Orr, he not only referred to Boston sports greats as “ionic” instead of “iconic” but also followed it up by reminiscing: “Havlicek stole the ball, Fisk waving the ball fair. Flutie launched the Hail Mary pass, Varitek splitting the uprights.” Now, for those of you who aren’t sports fans — or who never would feign to be sports fans or can’t afford a speechwriter with some tenuous familiarity with being a sports fan — Jason Varitek was the catcher on two Boston Red Sox championship teams, a franchise that went nearly a century without a title and, being a baseball franchise, one that has no interest in splitting uprights or winning Super Bowls. In old war movies, spies often exposed themselves by lacking some rudimentary American sports knowledge. Politicians who rely on the cheap ploy of connecting with the common voters by piggybacking on the achievements of local heroes are also often exposed as pandering infiltrators. Sports fans can sniff out these ham-handed fakes rather effortlessly. I still hold that Martha Coakley sealed her fate in the Massachusetts senatorial race when she said Red Sox hero Curt Schilling was a Yankees “fan.” On Opening Day this season, Barack Obama was reminiscing with broadcasters about his all-time favorite team, the Chicago White Sox, but was unable to name a single member of that franchise — ever. Now, Sammy Sosa briefly played for the White Sox, but only after our previous president, as minority owner of the Texas Rangers, watched as the future 600-home-run hitter was traded to Chicago for nothing. Even with their many tribulations, professional
sports are comparatively uncontaminated by the bitterness and ugliness that taint most politics — aside from Philadelphia, where each and every fan should be ashamed of himself. But ideology has no place — even on the periphery — in professional sports. When Rush Limbaugh moonlighted as an NFL analyst for ESPN a few years back, it did not work out, not only because of what he said at the time but also because of everything he ever had said. When Keith Olbermann’s career shifted from his main gig as sports announcer to political commentator, his subsequent appearances in the sports genre are tainted. Take the recent immigration flap in Arizona. Leftist intellectual and El Sol allstar point guard Steve Nash — slumming it in Arizona at $13 million per year — is certainly free to lecture the proletariat. But like Jack Kemp, Jim Bunning, Heath Shuler or Bill Bradley, it probably would be better if he saved it for the post-game. Those boycotting the Arizona Diamondbacks are equally grating. Obviously, I oppose any sort of discrimination by my childhood teams — unless the Yanks are exclusively signing Dominican stars; then they can call themselves Los Gringos for all I care. But I don’t take out my exasperations over New Yorkers’ consistently voting for Chuck Schumer on the New York Knicks. Sports happen to be one of the most meritocratic institutions in this nation. They divide us into regional and traditional clusters. To inject corrosive political grandstanding into this thing that so many of us love can only undermine the camaraderie of fans, who are able to put aside their ideological differences, financial situations and often their worries to partake in a communal gratification that politicians and “activists” only pretend to understand and foster. And, after all, is nothing sacred?
A supreme choice VIEWPOINT
SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist Elena Kagan is not a surprising choice for the United States Supreme Court, but she is a very smart and deserving one. She is smart and honorable, a woman of character and integrity. And perhaps most important of all, in these times, she will be very hard to oppose. I have to laugh when I hear conservatives complain that she is not qualified to serve on the court. The former dean of Harvard Law School? The current solicitor general of the United States? Sorry, my friends, but that dog don’t hunt. Then there’s the argument that she’s too liberal, the “judicial activist” routine. A judicial activist, I’ve come to conclude, is someone who goes out on the line to disagree with you. Liberals think defenders of the Second Amendment are judicial activists. Conservatives think the same of defenders of the First Amendment. The truth is, you can’t interpret the Constitution without being an activist. You’d have nothing to say. Pretending that the words of the First Amendment tell you whether images of dogs being crushed can be sold online, or that the words of
the Second Amendment tell you how far a state can go in limiting the possession of certain weapons, is just plain absurd. It’s what nominees say when they’re going through the modern charade called confirmation hearings. But no serious legal scholar, liberal or conservative, thinks that all a justice has to do is call balls and strikes. That’s just what the smart ones say to get confirmed. If Judge Bork had been equally disingenuous, he’d be Justice Bork. Fool me once… As for where Kagan actually stands on the ideological spectrum, my guess is that she’s not as far left as liberals would like and not as far right as conservatives would hope — which is to say she’s highly confirmable. In the rarified world of legal academia, she’d almost certainly be counted as a moderate, not even close to a “lefty.” (But that may be scant comfort, because the same is true of me.) Her academic writings have been careful, not controversial. Her tenure as dean of Harvard Law School was marked by broadly shared good will, not radical change, and great success in fundraising. In the solicitor general’s office, she has been a very effective advocate, a great boss and a popular presence. The court treats her with great respect. She gets along with liberals and conservatives alike. She is a great favorite on the Judicial Conference circuit, the get-togethers of federal judges around the country. How do you beat a woman like her? You don’t. Some will probably argue that in picking Kagan, the president made a safe choice, and I think that is certainly
true. But he also made a very good choice. Kagan’s experience in the Clinton White House and at Harvard Law School (once known as the Beirut of legal education, in the days when Beirut was more like Baghdad) helped her develop a set of skills that is almost as important in a Supreme Court justice as legal brilliance. She is a consensus-builder. She is a team player. She is ideally suited to succeed in an institution where five votes matter, not one. When Justice Stevens, whom she will replace, first joined the court, he was known for his dissents. They were brilliant dissents, but they were, very often, lonely ones. I remember, clerking for him in the early years, telling him how this or that justice worked the halls or the phones to put together their majorities. It was not his instinct, in those early years, to do that kind of politics. He wanted reason, argument and logic to carry the day. He had lunch every day with his law clerks, which was wonderful for us, but not a vote getter. I think Kagan will be a very popular justice. I think she will be one of those who walks the halls, works the phones, does lunch and dinner. I think she will be a leader of the court for years to come. She happens to be, on a personal level, a lovely woman. I could not be more pleased for her, or more appreciative to the president To find out more about Susan Estrich and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com.

A6 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, May 13, 2010
FROM PAGE A1 RUNOFF From page A1 and the difference between the top two votegetters was only 719 votes. William Gillenwater finished third with 3,656 votes, or 26.21 percent. Cumbie also garnered more votes than Dority in Davidson County, earning 47.64 percent to Dority’s 31.86 percent. The runoff will take place June 22, and the winner will go on to face Democrat incumbent Mel Watt, of Charlotte, and Libertarian candidate Lon Cecil, of High Point. Barrett says that Dority and Cumbie will face a challenge encouraging voters to turn out for the runoff. “Turnout will be abysmal,” he said. “If you’re a Republican in the 12th District, the turnout’s go-
ing to be very low.” Not only do people tend to f o r g e t about runoff challenges, but Dority Barrett says that the 12th District — which covers parts of Davidson, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Rowan, Forsyth and Guilford counties — has been drawn more in the Democrats favor, whereas District 6 is drawn to favor the Republicans. “It’s just going to be hard for these two candidates to reach out and get Republicans in the 12th District,” Barrett said. “People don’t mind showing up for a highprofile sheriff race if there’s a runoff. These two guys are not household names.” With no other natural
BUDGET From page A1 Clure. “It’s increasingly important for people to buy in Davidson County if you live in Davidson County,” he said. “It’s very important to buy locally as we lose most of the sales tax dollars if you buy out of county.” Other revenue areas that have seen a slowing or standstill in growth are the residential tax base as well as commercial and industrial businesses. The county is also losing about $8 million per month in auto valuations, according to the tax department. “The cumulative effect of all these factors is that the tax base is struggling to keep pace with the needs of the county,” Hyatt said. “However, staff does believe that sufficient revenue can be generated for the 2010-11 Fiscal Year Budget by maintaining the tax rate at 54 cents.” On the expenditures side, the budget again will stay even-keel. The largest increase in the proposed budget is the debt service at $568,753, which will be used to finance two sewer projects and school construction projects. Two other factors increasing

There also will be a live DJ, food, snacks, drinks and a 50/50 raffle. “Everything will benefit the United Way of Davidson County,” said Dennis. “It’s mostly volunteers from KimberlyClark that put this on.” Lee Jessup, president of the United Way of Davidson County, said the money raised will help

The area will be named PACE Community Park for the city committee People Achieving Community Enhancement. PACE member Sue Hunter, whose family donated the park’s land in memory of Dr. Jim Hunter, a local physician and council member who passed away six years ago from a rare form of lymphoma, said all of the work for the amphitheater is being done by volunteers. “I think it will be a wonderful thing for the community for many years to come,” said Hunter. “This was always [Jim’s]
draw in place, it will be up to the candidates to c o nv i n c e voters to show up on Cumbie June 22. “It’s just which one of those guys can get the people who voted for him the first time to come out again — for one race,” Barrett said. “There’s a lot of people who love to go out and vote when they’ve got that big ballot, but for one race it’s going to be tough. The one that can get his supporters out there for him is going to win because it’s going to be close.” Cal Cunningham and Elaine Marshall will also go head-to-head in a runoff election in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on June 22.
the budget are about $440,000 from the capital reserve and around $205,000 in health insurance. Education will remain even at $35 million funding to the public schools and the community college, about the same allotted last year. “A top priority continues to be education,” Hyatt said. “We’re recommending we keep the same funding levels in general that we had for the county schools and the two city schools. I don’t know that the county’s in the position that we can backfill what the state has not provided in funding.” The county will face increased pressure by the state in the coming year as North Carolina faces an $800 million deficit, Hyatt said. “The state is forecasting another difficult budget year, and we can anticipate them looking to county resources as a source of potential funding,” he said. “By most news accounts, the recession has bottomed out, and the economy is starting a slow recovery. Historically, the positive effects of economic recoveries are reflected last by local governments.” The board adopted the proposed budget unanimously and scheduled a public hearing for its regular meeting on May 25 at 7 p.m.
fund more than 30 programs sponsored by human service agencies in the county. “The Car Cruise is not only going to be a fun event for us and the community, but the money raised is going to help atrisk boys and girls, older adults and people with special needs,” Jessup said. “Kimberly-Clark does a wonderful job raising dollars and raising awareness in our community in support of United Way-funded programs. It’s going to be neat seeing a bunch of cars cruising down the street with a police escort.” Registration for the cruise begins at the Kimberly-Clark plant on
Clyde Fitzgerald Road in Linwood at 8:30 a.m. The cruise will leave at 9:30 a.m. and travel through Davidson County. Registration for those not participating in the cruise will start at 10:30 a.m. at Finch Park. Cost to participate is $20 and includes a T-shirt, meal ticket, car show entry and a door prize ticket. Cost to register for the car show only is $10. Spectators can attend for free. For more information on the cruise, call Dennis at 248-7303 or Donna Lane with the United Way at 249-2532.
feeling that you gave back something of what you earned. The family thought this would be a real memorial to him to show that we are giving back. It’s wonderful because there’s nothing you can give back that is more rewarding than giving back to your community. We hope this is something that people of all ages in the community will enjoy in different ways.” Hunter said PACE will discuss having a launch party at its next meeting later this month and that volunteers are still raising money for the park by collecting tax deductible donations for personalized bricks, landscape areas, trees and park benches. Hunter credits PACE member and general contractor Ben Watford with bringing the
project to fruition. Watford estimated the cost of the amphitheater would run around $50,000 at an unveiling ceremony last year. The park was designed to incorporate all of downtown, including the Farmer’s Market and Main Street. Yemm said the park was designed to be low-maintenance so city council wouldn’t be burdened with its up-keep. City council is preparing to pave the parking lot, and with Thomasville Move More going on today, the community will have a chance to see the almostcompleted park. “These are small steps we have to take to get downtown back thriving again,” Yemm said. “This will help bring people downtown. I think it’s going to be a real popular place for people to come

In January, a strong earthquake hit Haiti. It killed about 220,000 people and injured about 300,000. More than a million people lost their homes. In February, an earthquake that was about 500 times more powerful hit Chile. However, the Chile earthquake did not do as much damage. The quake and following tsunamis* killed about 500 people. Hundreds of thousands of people had major damage to their homes and businesses.

Parts of our planet
What is an earthquake?
The Earth is formed with: A. an inner core of solid iron and nickel B. an outer core of melted iron and nickel C. a mantle of molten rock. This is melting rock, in a kind of halfway stage between being solid and liquid. D. a hard crust, from 5 miles to 40 miles deep.
An earthquake is a sudden release of energy caused by the movement of the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust or upper mantle. During an earthquake: s THE %ARTH SHAKES AND CRACKS s QUAKES CAN CAUSE LANDSLIDES s SANDY AREAS WITH A LOT OF WATER might turn to liquid for a few seconds to a few minutes. The liquid can be forced upward as high as 20 feet. The holes this liquid makes are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;sand boilsâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;sand blows.â&#x20AC;? Earthquakes can also cause tsunamis with waves as high as 100 feet. These waves can travel about 600 miles per hour. Earthquakes in Chile have caused tsunamis that killed people in Japan.
The force of most earthquakes is centered in the crust (D) and in the upper part of the mantle (C).
People walk in front of a collapsed building brought down by the January earthquake in Haiti. Experts say most buildings collapsed within 10 seconds after the quake started. Many people did not have enough time to escape.

A changing world The crust, or surface of the Earth, is broken into 15 huge parts called plates. These plates are like giant puzzle pieces. Faults are located at the edges of these plates. A fault is a break in the Earth where plates may slip past each other. Most earthquakes occur along these faults. During a quake, one plate might move to the side. The other plate might move the other way. The recent earthquake in Haiti was this type of earthquake. Or one plate might move up and the other might move down. The recent earthquake in Chile was this type of quake. This type of quake and volcanoes often occur in the same area.

*Tsunamis (soo-NAHM-ees) are fastmoving, giant ocean waves.
The 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Chile on Feb. 27 destroyed many older buildings, such as this one in Concepcion. But most modern buildings, like the tall one in the background, were mostly undamaged in the quake. In the last 40 years, Chile has set strict standards for new buildings so that most are earthquakeresistant.
A tsunami destroyed this house and car near Concepcion, Chile, after the February earthquake. This tsunami had waves about 32 feet tall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tsunamiâ&#x20AC;? comes from a Japanese word meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;harbor wave.â&#x20AC;? Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes, underwater landslides, volcanic eruptions and meteorites landing in the ocean.
The January earthquake in Haiti SOUTH had a magnitude of AMERICA 7.0. Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s February earthquake had an 8.8 magnitude. This was about 500 times more powerful than Chile the Haiti quake. In 1960, the biggest earthquake ever recorded hit Chile. It measured at 9.5. This was more than 5,000 times stronger than the Haiti earthquake.
Size and strength Scientists have several different scales to measure the size of earthquakes. They all can be translated into a measure called magnitude. Using one measure makes it easier to compare quakes. The higher the magnitude, the more powerful an earthquake is.

More quake terms to know
Experts believe there are several million earthquakes in the world each year. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice most of them. They may be so small we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t detect them. Or they may hit areas with few people. Most occur under the sea or in mostly unpopulated areas. The number of big earthquakes is not changing. Experts say there are about 15 earthquakes of magnitude 7 and one of about 8.8 each year. It only seems as if there have been more quakes lately because some have hit heavily populated areas. Earthquakes hit some areas more frequently. For example, in the last 30 years, Chile has had about 15 major earthquakes. Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last major destructive quake before January was in the 1700s.
The focus is where the earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point on the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface just above the focus.

In the years before a quake, the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust bends. When it finally snaps into a new position, an earthquake occurs. While the crust is snapping, vibrations called seismic (SIZE-mik) waves travel from the source of the quake to other parts of the Earth.

Tactics for personal change TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist
Continuing from last week, Don’s quest for wellness confronts him with the reality that behavioral change can be hard. He is following Kotter’s four tactics outlined last week, including: 1. Bring the outside inside 2. Behave with true urgency every single day 3. View crisis as a potential opportunity, as well as a threat 4. Effectively confront the problem of “no-nos” Behaving with true urgency every day is a challenge for everyone. But so far, the no-nos are the most troubling obstacle. Not from the standpoint of Don hearing that he can’t do it, but in whittling away at his resolve that every choice matters. The no-nos remind him that he has been carrying around this extra weight a long time anyway and it’s not likely to go away anytime soon. To insure that Don understands his instinctive and learned patterns of behavior, another tool, called the Enneagram, now comes into play. This modern system, based on ancient philosophic traditions, is a “profound, elegant and compassionate approach to people ... their worldviews and different ways of doing business in the world.” (The 9 Ways of Working, Goldberg) The Enneagram exposes our unconscious assumptions, opinions, inclinations and expecta-
tions which allow us to see ourselves more clearly and make more conscious choices. “It would not be far-fetched to say that one of the main points of the Enneagram is to show us where our personality ‘trips us up’ the most.” (Understanding the Enneagram, Riso, Hudson.) You can imagine that information is of great interest to Don, at this point. Don will take the RisoHudson Type Indicator (RHETI), an online version endorsed by the Enneagram Institute. That assessment (available through www. taylortrain.com) will reveal his score in the 9 ways of working identified by the Enneagram. One of these types will offer best fit and fresh insights beyond personality, into his true self. The dynamic system is framed around the following nine patterns:
THE REFORMER The Rational, Idealistic Type: Principled, Purposeful, Self-Controlled, and Perfectionistic
THE HELPER The Caring, Interpersonal Type: Demonstrative, Generous, PeoplePleasing, and Possessive
THE ACHIEVER The Success-Oriented, Pragmatic Type: Adaptive, Excelling, Driven, and Image-Conscious
THE INDIVIDUALIST The Sensitive, Withdrawn Type: Expressive, Dramatic, Self-Absorbed, and Temperamental
THE INVESTIGATOR The Intense, Cerebral Type: Perceptive, Innovative, Secretive, and Isolated
THE LOYALIST The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious
THE ENTHUSIAST The Busy, Fun-Loving Type: Spontaneous, Versatile, Distractible, and Scattered

of experience and more than 200 wins with him. Cline will finish out the school year at Glenn High School, where he was the Bobcats head football coach since 2001. “I’m just excited to be able to be part of a program that is as passionate about the game as I am,” Cline said. “I think it’s going to really be fun to be around people who love the game as much as you do.” In addition to Glenn and Ledford, Cline coached at North Davidson and Ragsdale. Cline led Ragsdale to the 1984 state title and is 264-108 as a head coach. He became available when his part-time position at Glenn
was eliminated and Bulldogs assistant coach Sam Captain took a coaching job in Georgia. Cline will be teaching morning weightlifting at THS. Cline said he got a phone call from Bulldogs head coach Allen Brown about the position and thought the two longtime friends would make a good fit. Both coaches have similar philosophies, and Cline’s offensive mind allows Brown to focus more on the defense. “They just happened to have a position, and coach [Allen] Brown and I have been

Sports Editor SOUTHMONT — East Davidson knew what was at stake in Tuesday’s Central Carolina Conference tournament semifinal against West Davidson, and they made sure the outcome was in their favor. With the No. 2 seed out of the conference for the playoffs in play, the Lady Golden Eagles roughed up the Green Dragons 12-3, giving them a first round home game on Tuesday. “That was a huge game for us tonight,” said coach Greg Fowler.
East (14-6) scored a run in every inning but the fifth, pounding out hits all over. Spencer Embler struck out eight in getting the win, and helped herself at the dish with three hits and an RBI. Her teammates were strong at the plate as well, with Natalie Naturile and Kaley Key each getting two hits and two RBIs. Three others had a hit and an RBI. The Golden Eagles held a comfortable 7-0 lead after four inning, and were not getting much resistance from West. The fifth inning told a different story, as the Green Dragons made
the game a bit more interesting. West started finding holes that had been closed in previous innings, trailing only 7-3 at the end of the frame. “ They came over here and gave Central all they wanted the other night, so we knew they were going to come out and fight us,” Fowler said. The third-seeded Dragons sent No. 2 seed East down in the bottom half to keep momentum, but could not do anything in the sixth.
Like they had done throughout the night, East hammered pitcher Nicole Michael in the sixth, scoring four valuable insurance runs that deflated the Dragons. “Hopefully, we can start playing this time of the year because at this point it is one and done,” said Fowler. “We have got to go out and play focused and hard every game, and if we do that, it is all a coach could ask for.”
TYRO — For six innings Monday evening in the Central Carolina Conference championship at Feezor Field, East Davidson had little trouble with host West Davidson. By the time the seventh frame rolled around, they were fighting for their lives. The Green Dragons (1213) staged a remarkable comeback in the seventh, scoring six runs to tie the game. Bent, but not broken, the Golden Eagles regained their composure, as a pair of underclassmen accounted for the winning run in a wild 8-7 victory that gives East the No. 2 seed for the playoffs and allows them to host a home game Friday in the first round. “I knew we could battle back from it,” said East sophomore Preston Gammons, who delivered the game-winning hit. “We are like a family and we never quit.” Before Gammons got his chance to be the hero, West strung together a furious rally to tie the game. Relief pitcher Braxton Shetley allowed the first two batters to climb aboard the basepaths, forcing East to go with Tyler Lequire (9-3) to try and shut the door. West not only kept the door open, they had it flying off the hinges. Two runs crossed to make it 73, then the bases became loaded with only one out. That brought up Colby Bessette, who crushed the first pitch he saw foul

Withers to join National Wrestling Hall of Fame BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Last October, Jennings W. Withers received special recognition when he was inducted into the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame. At the time, it was the highest honor he had ever received and he was greatly humbled. Little did he know his most prestigious accolade yet awaited half a year later. On Sunday evening at
the Friday Center in Chapel Hill, Withers, along with four others will be inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. “I was shocked when I saw the letter,” said Withers. “It is hard to describe your emotions, but it makes me really proud and honored to be a part of a national association. That is the top one.” Withers played an important role in bringing a wrestling program
back to Thomasville High School. In 1959, he left Baptist Children’s Homes, where he served as athletic director and a coach, to take a position at THS. With very little funding the first year, he worked with what he had. A remarkable 50 athletes joined the team that first year, and he was forced to hold two practice sessions to work with them all. In 1961, his team

WITHERS From page B1 won the North Carolina State championship, and would add several other achievements along the way. In 1968 he retired from coaching at Thomasville with a 92-37-2 record. His love for the sport began years before his coaching days when he was just a young schoolboy at recess. “We played tether ball and soccer and the games like that, but me and some of the other boys wanted to do something different,” he said. “I went and asked the teacher if we could go over in a grassy area and wrestle, and she told us we could. We would get grass stains on our pants and our mother’s didn’t like that too much, but we had a great time.” While coaching at Thomasville, Withers had the privilege of coaching Phil Kanoy, who is also a member of the Hall of Fame. The two have remained close friends for many years, and Kanoy is delighted to have a man he cares so deeply about join him as a member. “He has been like a father figure to me, and it is really special that I was able to get in and now he is getting in there, too,” said Kanoy. “It makes it

Brown off to good start in quest of 9th championship BG REPORT Before the 2010 season even started at Bowman Gray Stadium, Tim Brown of Cana, Va. had one thing on his mind more than anything else — winning the championship. Last season, Brown achieved his goal of winning eight Modified titles, tying Ralph Brinkley for the most championships in the 61-year history of Bowman Gray Stadium. And Brown has his eyes set on being the only person at the top of the ladder of Stadium champions. He started the year off strongly in the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series with a victory in the Tucson 200, and things were looking great for him again on Saturday during the Bill Plemmons RV World 100. Brown drew 10th as his starting position, but rocketed up towards the front in quick fashion. During the first double-file “choice” restart, Brown chose to go to the outside to challenge Junior Miller of Danbury for the lead. Brown didn’t succeed, but that didn’t stop him from trying again on the very next restart, where Brown did complete the pass for the lead. Brown’s No. 83 car then settled into a groove while the No. 1 car of Walnut Cove resident Burt Myers was climbing through the field. Myers drove a backup car for the season-opening Tucson 200 after severely damaging his primary car in practice sessions. But on Saturday, Myers was ready to take his old, faithful car to Victory Lane . Myers went to the outside lane at almost every double-file restart in an attempt to gain as many positions as possible. And on lap 66, Myers had the chance to finally pull up beside Brown. Now Myers would see if his mainstay racecar really did have what it takes to beat the No. 83. As the green flag fell, Brown got tapped slightly from behind — just enough to throw him off the pace. Myers took advantage of Brown’s falter and closed down on the inside lane to steal the lead. Moments later, Brown received a stout tap from Zach Brewer of

Not only did Brown’s checkered flag hopes fade away, but the points battle had to weigh heavy on his mind as Brown dropped from the lead to 11th place. But Brown refused to give up, taking to the outside at the next double-file restart and motoring hard to claw back up to a fifth place finish. Myers ended up claiming the checkered. Brown’s performance keeps him in the points lead, but just barely. Myers’ victory boosts him up to second place, only two points behind Brown. Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg is a close third, only two points behind Myers. In the points standings for the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Derek Stoltz of Walkertown leads the way. To add to his victory on opening night, Stoltz claimed a fourth and second place finish on Saturday. Michael Adams of Yadkinville finished second and 11th on Saturday, giving him a second-place ranking in the points. Ryan Robertson of Winston-Salem and Kyle Edwards of King tie for third in the points. Matt Cotner of Rural Hall brought home the win on Saturday in the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series. The victory bumps him up to second in the points standings. John McNeal of Winston-Salem currently rests on top.

CLINE From page B1 friends for awhile,” said Cline. “You really don’t know what the future holds and I sure am happy about it. I hope I can be a part of a continued tradition.” Brown, who has won seven state titles during his career at THS, said he plans on giving Cline more freedom with the offense. With Cline running a similar offensive scheme during his career, Brown feels the terminology will be the same, allowing players to make a relatively smooth transition. “When you have a guy with his experience, you need to give him as much authority as you possibly can,” Brown said. “I don’t think it would be a good idea to hire a guy like that and then shackle him. He needs to enjoy what he’s doing. Over the years, we’ve tossed around ideas back and forth, and what we do is very similar. I’m going to let him run the offensive end of the team. He’s got huge abilities as a head coach, offensive line
EAGLES From page B1 down the left side. The next time he made contact, the ball was also not playable, but only because it sailed over the left-field fence for a grand-slam, completing the comeback. Lequire was able to end the inning from there to keep it tied. “In all the years I have coached, I do not remember a team coming back like that on us in the final inning,” said Tricarico. “That was just phenomenal.” With Bessette’s heroics out of the way, it was time for a new hero to emerge. East (16-8) seemed to be down on themselves as reliever Josh Andrews struck out the first two batters and Shetley faced an early 0-2 hole, But the freshman reached on an infield single to keep hope alive. He would later move to second on a passed ball, but it appeared he would stay there with Gammons in a hole. But the sophomore kept fouling off pitches before he found one he liked. He drove a fastball to left-center to bring home Shetley, setting off a huge celebration near second base. “I was looking for a curve ball because he hadn’t thrown me one the whole time, but he threw me another fastball and I just hit it,” said Gammons. “It felt really good.” What felt even better to Tricarico was the determination and effort his team put forth after they could have easily lost all

From my standpoint, he is a tremendous asset.” After being the head man for more than three decades, Cline, who coached four NFL players including former Carolina Panthers fullback Brad Hoover and Giants fullback Madison Hedgecock, said he is fine working under Brown. Cline already has begun meeting the players through small group workouts in the evening. “They’re great kids,” said Cline. “They have some good skill players I’m looking forward to working with. Being a head coach for 32 years, I do know that [Brown] is the boss. It’s time for me to quit being the chief and to be one of the indians. I want to do whatever I can to help us do well. I don’t think you’ll see any changes. Our philosophies are pretty much the same. We’re both I-formation guys. As far as terminology, it’s pretty much the same. There won’t be any major adjustments.” Captain is leaving THS after six years for Wayne hope. “We looked like we had no confidence and the momentum had totally turned, and then Braxton keeps it alive for us and Preston has a great atbat and crushes it to left-center field,” Tricarico said. “Our kids did not quit or fold when the momentum went the other way.” Aside from the seventh inning comeback, it was all East in the early going. Starter Keaton Hawks kept West batters off balance, and got plenty of run support from the offense. East scored a run in both the first and second innings, before opening up a sizable margin in the third scoring four more to lead 6-0. The Golden Eagles accounted for another run in the fourth, before the Green Dragons finally found the scoring column with a lone run in the fifth. That set the stage for the memorable seventh inning. “Our goals were a conference championship and to go as deep as we can in the state playoffs,” said Tricarico. “We let the regular season championship slip away, but we did come back and win the tournament and earn a home playoff game. For that, I am proud of my guys.” Notes: Hawks allowed just two hits and struck out six in his five innings of work ... Justin Hulin had three hits and Gammons two ... Taylor Warren added two RBIs ... It was the second straight CCC tournament title for East.
County High School in Jessup, Ga. Captain will probably be the secondary coach for a program that is going through a rebuilding process, but he feels the timing is right to make a change. “I got one of those offers you can’t refuse,” Captain said. “It was a tough choice. I love it here and have made a lot of friends. I’ve enjoyed it greatly. They’re rebuilding and haven’t been good for awhile. It will be a challenge and it’s a risk. They want to win down there, and if doesn’t go well I could be looking for a job in a couple of years. Sometimes when you don’t take any risks, you don’t get any rewards.” Brown said it was hard losing Captain because of everything he did both on and off the football field. “You hate to lose a guy like Sam,” said Brown. “He has been really good to our kids. He has been a father figure to so many of those kids. We’ll miss him.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

Choosing the right Father’s Day gift for dad this year STATEPOINT Don’t reach for another generic tie or watch when choosing a Father’s Day gift this year. Take a minute to think about what type of dad will be receiving your present. Is he an outdoorsman? Is he a gadget nut? Does he like puttering in the garden? By considering his interests, it will be easier to make smart buying decisions. It’s about matching the right gift to the right dad. • Techie Dads: If your dad is always the first to try out new gadgets, he falls into this category. Luckily, he shouldn’t be hard to shop for. If he doesn’t already have an iPad, your search is over. Or consider a gaming system if he’s young at heart. If your budget is lower, try one of the latest e-readers or a new smartphone. Even new headphones will work if your wallet is feeling light. • Outdoorsy/Sports Dads: Not only is outdoor equipment a great gift, it’s the season for hiking, gardening and enjoying the outdoors. Golf equipment, camping and fishing gear, and GPS systems are great for sporty dads. For gardeners, an electrical shear will ease the task of tending gardens. For a bigger impact, consider a riding mower or tractor. • Chef Dads: If he can’t be pried from the kitchen, he’s definitely a chef dad. If you have a large budget, consider a new grill, complete with add-ons like a smoker or rotisserie. If you’ve got less to spend, try a new espresso machine or countertop portable grill. • Fix-It Dads: Bring on the most powerful electric drills, wrenches, nail guns and sanders for this dad. The choices are endless, no matter your budget. Be sure to get safety gear, such as goggles, protective footwear or work gloves. • New Dads: A digital camera or camcorder will help him capture precious moments. Extra camera features to look for include image stabilization and sharpness in dim lighting. Remember to purchase a memory card with capacity to save all those new memories. Bassinets, carriers, strollers or car seats will also please the new papa. Once you’ve found the perfect gift, protect it for the long-term. Most warranties that come with products are “limited.” Give dad extra peace of mind by purchasing an extended service plan. Many protect against failures from normal wear and tear, accidental damage, mechanical and electrical breakdowns, and defects in materials and workmanship. “Today’s electronics, lawn equipment and sports gear can be expensive, and even simple repairs can be costly,” says Jamie Breneman, contributor to The Savvy Shopper blog (thesavvyshopperblog.com) and spokesperson for N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc., an independent administrator of buyer protection services. “With an extended service plan, dad has access to reputable servicers should something go wrong.” Even the handiest of dads needs help when it comes to repairing a failed product, especially with today’s technology. But it’s not just about re-
pairs. Service plans also offer benefits beyond fixing or replacing failed products. The better ones provide help using products via free support on the phone or online. So whether dad is struggling with setting up or operating your gift, a service plan can help. This year, tailor your Father’s Day gift to dad’s interests and make it a stress-free year.

AREA NEWS Third case of rabies in county reported TIMES STAFF REPORT The Davidson County Health Department recently reported the third case of rabies for the year. On May 6, a fox attacked several animals in the Denton community. A dog and several cats were not properly vaccinated and have been destroyed. There was human exposure reported and that person has been referred to a physician for medical follow up.
Do not handle an animal with bare hands after it has had contact with a wild animal. Saliva from the wild animal may still be present on the domestic animal’s fur and by handling the animal, you may expose yourself to the rabies virus. If there are stray dogs, cats, or wildlife in your neighborhood, call Animal Control at 249-0131. Call the Rabies Hot Line at 242-2348 if you or your pet comes in contact with another animal.

Rep. Watt to speak at DCCC commencement Sunday TIMES STAFF REPORT
The 46th annual Davidson County Community College Commencement ceremony will be held S u n d a y, May 16, at 3 p.m. on the Davidson Campus with U.S. Repres e n t a t ive Mel Watt Watt as guest speaker. Commencement will take place on the front lawn adjacent to the Mendenhall Building. Graduation candidates should arrive at the Brinkley Building Gymnasium at 2 p.m. Sunday to line up and receive final instructions. For those who can’t attend the ceremony, graduation may be viewed live via the Internet. Just before 3 p.m., an icon alert on the DCCC website front page www.davidsonccc.edu) will provide instructions on how to watch and hear the commencement via computer. In case of rain, commencement will be held at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center in Lexington on Sunday, May 16, at 3 p.m. In this case, no live computer feed will be available. The 2010 graduation class is made up of 769 candidates, 446 who earned two-year associate degrees, 342 who earned certificates and 154 who will receive diplomas. Many students will receive more than one credential. “The entire campus community will come together Sunday to honor and applaud our graduates. It will be a day of
celebration and beginnings,” said Dr. Mary E. Rittling, DCCC president. “Our graduates will continue on a path that will lead them to further education, knowledge, skills and meaningful employment. It is a path that will offer them more opportunities and better choices to mold the type of future they desire. We are so proud of them as well as each member of our committed and professional staff and faculty who helped the graduates along the way.” Congressman Watt played his part in enriching the academic pursuit of DCCC graduates and students by providing funding to enlarge and renovate the DCCC Learning Resource Center, better known as the library. Rittling will lead Watt on a tour of the facility prior to graduation. Watt served one term in the North Carolina Senate from 1985 to1986 where he was called “the conscience of the Senate.” He did not seek reelection the next year so he could spend more time with his family until his sons graduated from high school. In 1992, Watt was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District and became one of only two African-American members elected to Congress from North Carolina in the 20th century. From Charlotte, Watt was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1967 with a B.S. degree in Business Administration. As president of the business honors fraternity as a result of having the highest

academic average in the business school, Watt’s leadership abilities matched his academic excellence. In 1970 he received his law degree from Yale University. Since then, he has been awarded honorary degrees from North Carolina A&T State University, Johnson C. Smith University, Bennett College and Fisk University. He is married to Eulada Paysour Watt, an educator. Their sons, Brian and Jason, both graduated from Yale University and have earned graduate degrees.
