Man drowns in High Rock Lake
MARKED IN HISTORY BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer It stands — regal and stoic — drawing the eyes of passerby and gawking tourists. It towers — slender yet sturdy — marking and even naming the city, embodying the past, defining the present, projecting the future. The 30-foot replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair resides in the center of downtown Thomasville, significant not only as the world’s largest chair but also because it represents much of the Chair City’s history. “It’s emblematic,” said Bill Colonna of the Thomasville Historic Preservation Commission. “Chairs were some of the first products that the community industry dealt with. It’s a symbol of the community’s early days.” Back in 1922, Thomasville Chair Company — now Thomasville Furniture Industries — made simple, sturdy, straight-back chairs almost exclusively. No one knows who first suggested the idea to erect a big chair to bring attention to the town’s principal manufacturer. The first chair, constructed by Thomasville Chair Company in September 1922, took three men working 10 hours a day for one week with enough wood to build 100 regular-sized chairs. It stood 13 feet and 6 inches tall. Weather and time eventually wore on the chair, and in 1936 the construction was taken down. In 1948, the Chamber of Commerce formed and talk began of erecting a new chair that could stand the test of time. Thomas W. Johnson — Thomasville Chair Company’s dean of designers — designed a reproduction of the Duncan Phyfe armchair, and James Buford Harvey — who built the concrete lion standing on Main Street — constructed the Big Chair out of concrete. Painted to appear made from wood, the completed chair stood 30 feet high. And it still stands today.
The Big Chair First constructed by Thomasville Chair Company in September 1922, the Big Chair was made of wood and was 13 feet 6 inches tall. In 1948, plans for a second chair, built this time of concrete, began. It now towers 30 feet above Main Street.
TIMES STAFF REPORT For the second time in less than month, a man drowned at High Rock Lake while spending time with his family. According to a Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office press release, Kenneth Earl Kennedy, 25, of 265 Brown Road in China Grove, drowned Saturday morning at 10:51 a.m. at the boat and swim access area located at the Brown Loflin Bridge on N.C. Highway 8 on High Rock Lake. Kennedy was at the lake with his wife and children when he disappeared under the water near the buoy markers.
Witnesses saw Kennedy swimming one minute, Sheriff David Grice said, but the next minute he was gone. “He was out swimming with his kids and went under the water,” Grice said. “We’re just encouraging everyone to use their life jackets and to use good judgment when they’re swimming and not go out beyond their capabilities. It’s so unnecessary, and I think people just overestimate their own capacities and put their selves in trouble.” The Healing Springs Fire Department’s Water

Council sets public hearing for budget BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Despite the rough economy, Thomasville’s 2010-11 proposed budget doesn’t include any layoffs, furloughs or tax increases. The total recommended budget totaled to about $33 million. Property tax — which makes up of 47 percent of the General Fund revenue — will remain at 56 cents per $100 valuation. Though the city left two positions in the Sanitation Department

Crime Stoppers helping solve crimes on tip at a time BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
One of the most important tools a police department uses in solving cases is information. Rarely does a crime happen in the presence of police, so information from eyewitness accounts or informants plays a huge role in discovering who did what, where and why. There are circumstances where concerned citizens wanting to help are afraid to come forward with what they know, fearing repercussions or simply trying to avoid getting involved. That’s where Crime Stoppers of Thomasville comes in. For nearly two decades, Crime Stoppers of Thomasville has given citizens the chance to make a difference in complete anonymity by just picking up the phone and making a call. Since its inception,
Crime Stoppers of Davidson County has received 1,105 tips from callers, leading to 644 arrests and 848 charges against suspects. The organization also has paid out more than $45,000 through 236 paid rewards. All of it is completely anonymous. “Detectives and vice officers, even some of the patrol officers, have informants, people who are willing to talk to them and give them information in exchange for money,” Thomasville Police Department Capt. Darren Smith said. “It’s usually just a few dollars. But Crime Stoppers is a way for people to call in anonymously, and there’s no way of tracing who they are. They feel more comfortable about it because not everybody wants to be an informant. We know who informants are, and

Rescue team and Davidson County EMS arrived at the scene at 10:59 a.m., but were not able to recover Kennedy’s body until 12:33 p.m. Medical personnel were unable to revive him and pronounced Kennedy dead at the scene. Grice said the water is more than 10-feet deep where Kennedy was last seen swimming. Free life vests are available at this swim access area, but Kennedy was not wearing one. Grice said alcohol or drugs were not a factor in Kennedy’s death. The property is owned by Alcoa and there are several access points where people can swim, but no lifeguards are present. “In this particular case, Alcoa provides free life jackets you can use and just hang them back up when you’re finished,� said Grice. “There was buoyed areas and signs instructing people on how to be safe. If you get tired, it’s important to come in right then and not wait. Always keep up with the kids and make sure they’re supervised.� On April 17, a father and son drowned while fishing under the bridge on Bringle Ferry Road near High Rock dam. Phothy Chanthahevang was fishing with his two sons when 14-year-old Blu Chanthahevang fell overboard trying to retrieve his fishing pole. Phothy jumped in after his son, but neither could swim and were not wearing life vests. Grice said he thinks there only was one drowning at High Rock Lake in 2009. “The No. 1 precaution people can take, which in all three of these fatalities would have made all the difference in the world, is the use of a personal floatation device (PFD),�
Sgt. Tony Sharum with the state wildlife office said. “I think I would advise people who are on or around the water to wear a PFD. It doesn’t do much good if it’s not on your body.� Sharum said state law requires boat owners to have available and readily accessible life vests for everyone on board, and every child under the age of 13 must be wearing a personal floatation device. The penalty for failing to meet the requirements is a criminal offense, class-3 misdemeanor that could result in up to a $200 fine. “I know a man who fell off a boat in the same vicinity of the father and son who drowned, but he was wearing a self-inflating life preserver,� said Sharum. “As soon as he hit the water, the vest inflated and he was able to get back in the boat. Had he not had it on, it might have been a different story. People need to be responsible for themselves and take the necessary precautions. There may be 50 people watching who are not able to help. Accidents happen.� Sharum said there are numerous situations that can develop while swimming, like getting a cramp or becoming entangled in fishing line that can put a person in danger of drowning. “Even a good swimmer can get into trouble,� Sharum said. “I think it boils down to being safe while doing outdoor activities. Always expect the unexpected and have and use safety devices. There’s a wide range of type and sizes you can get. They’re very comfortable and half the time you don’t know you’re wearing it. I mean, what’s your life worth?�
there’s always the slight possibility an informant can be disclosed in court if the judge rules for discovery. There’s a risk. With Crime stoppers, you’re unknown.� When an officer receives a Crime Stoppers call, the information is verified and the person gets a specified number. Once a month, Crime Stoppers of Thomasville’s Board of Directors approves its awards and allocates the money through a local business. The person who made the call then goes to the business and states the designated number to an employee. Once the number is verified, the person receives the award without ever giving any personal information. Crime Stoppers of Thomasville’s board is made up of 11 members and was founded in
1992. “It’s just concerned citizens doing what they can to help local law enforcement,� said original board member Judy Younts. “Law enforcement officers do a great job and don’t always get the appreciation they deserve. Crime Stoppers gives people an avenue to do something anonymously to try and help us all. It has lead to some pretty big discoveries and convictions, even some murders. You never have to reveal who you are, even when you pick up your money.� Earlier this year, Crime Stoppers of Thomasville raised the maximum reward to $2,000, but the amount given out varies on the nature of the information and the significance of the arrest. Crime Stoppers calls have lead to the arrest of 122 fugitives, more than $500,000 worth of recovered property and $644,589 in drug seizures. Smith said Crime Stoppers is becoming
more active in schools, as well, to try and deter crime and drug use. Smith also said that law enforcement agencies share Crime Stoppers tips if certain information comes in that may impact a different jurisdiction. Crime Stoppers of Thomasville already has received 29 tips and approved nearly $2,000 in rewards so far this year. For more information about Crime Stoppers of Thomasville call 476-8477.

Four-year-old attacked by dog
A 4-year-old child was attacked by a dog in High Point Thursday evening.

HEALTH
Lower sodium intake can improve your health LIFELONG HEALTH
DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
With obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure on the rise, a recent Institute of Medicine report strongly urged the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the amount of sodium in processed, canned and restaurant food. With modest restrictions, lowering the average American’s sodium intake can substantially decrease the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.
Consuming too much sodium can adversely affect your health. High amounts of sodium cause the body to retain fluid and release several hormones, predominantly from the adrenal gland, in order to secrete excessive sodium out of the body. Hormones released to compensate for excessive salt also cause blood vessels to constrict, resulting in a rise in blood pressure, which in turn forces the heart to work harder; the heart muscle hypertrophies and the heart enlarges. Over time this can result in heart failure, the most common cause of death in men and women. Moreover, too much sodium adversely affects the lining of arterial blood vessels predisposing to cholesterol deposition and a high risk of heart attacks. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, a series of research studies,
titled “Trials of Hypertension Prevention,� clearly demonstrated that lowering salt intake in patients with early elevations of blood pressure returned the pressure to normal and decreased the risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart failure by 30 percent. Currently, Americans consume a daily average of 9 to 12 grams of salt containing about 3,600 mg to 4,800 mg of sodium, which is about 1 1/3 teaspoons daily. This is double the recommended amount of 2,000 mg to 2,400 mg of sodium per day in healthy young adults. At the American Heart Association’s annual conference on cardiovascular disease prevention, information was presented recommending that if Americans reduced their salt intake by 1 gram daily, the number of heart attacks and deaths would be reduced 200,000 in a decade. Every American over
40 and black adults are particularly sensitive to the effects of salt and are much more likely to develop high blood pressure with too much sodium intake. In these individuals, sodium intake should not exceed 1,500 mg daily (no more than twothirds of a teaspoon). Sadly, this information about sodium is neither new nor groundbreaking. Americans have been hearing about the dangers of excessive salt for decades, and yet there have been no major inroads into reducing daily sodium intake. Some claim it is a taste issue -- foods simply do not taste as good without huge amounts of salt. But the evidence is compelling that reducing sodium intake to more appropriate levels does not in any way adversely affect taste. Additionally, using sensible levels of salt does shorten the food’s shelf life.
So what can you do? First, be educated about how much sodium you currently consume. Most common foods have much higher sodium levels than you think. For example, a 5-ounce, healthy frozen turkey dinner contains 800 mg of sodium, a bowl of most cereals contains more than 350 mg of sodium, most canned vegetables contain more than 700 mg, and a bowl of warm canned soup (for example, chicken noodle) contains more than 1,100 mg of sodium. Add those up during the day, and it is easy to exceed the recommended daily amount. Becoming a savvy shopper is critical. At the grocery store, always consider fresh first, frozen second and canned last. Learn how to read labels and be aware of marketing claims. Sodium-free means less than 5 mg of sodium per serving, low sodium is less
than 140 mg, and reduced sodium means the salt content has been reduced by 25 percent. Study labels carefully and choose foods with the lowest possible sodium levels. High blood pressure and all its deleterious effects are increasing in incidence. It is quickly becoming a very dangerous epidemic. But by going back to basics, eating right and watching salt, you can guarantee a longer and better life. Change your health habits now and you will reap the rewards.

Cornerstone Health Care recently hosted a regional meeting of the American Medical Group Management Association (AMGA) that was judged by Donald Fisher, Ph.

N.C history through Jewish eyes VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist What is the best way for me to learn about North Carolina history? I get this question all the time, especially from new North Carolinians who want to learn about the special history of their new homeland. There are lots of good answers: Professors Powell’s and Lefler’s classic state history books are still the standards. But newer versions from important historians like Milton Ready and William Link are now essential references. H.G. Jones’s pictorial history, North Carolina Illustrated, 1524-1984, though out of print, has always been one of my favorites. A good, easyto-read description of North Carolina life during various periods of history is The Way We Lived in North Carolina. Another way to look at the history of our state is through the eyes of a special person or a group of people whose experiences differ from our own. The newest of these special North Carolina histories may be the best. Down Home: Jewish Life in North Carolina by Leonard Rogoff follows the experiences of Jews in our state beginning with Sir Walter Raleigh’s efforts to establish a colony on Roanoke Island, when Joachim Gantz, a Jewish metallurgist, explored the area’s potential for mining in 1585. It would be many years before Jews established more that a token or temporary presence in the state. Between 1730 and 1775, North Carolina’s population grew from 35,000 to more than 200,000. Between 1770 and 1790, the population doubled. As the population grew, opportunities developed in the fields of commerce and trade. Jews from other parts of the country and the world came here to take advantage of these new opportunities. By the time of the American Revolution, some Jews were ready to join Patriot troops to fight the British, while others played important roles in supplying the Army. Early on, Jews typically settled in port towns like Wilmington and New Bern. In the early 1800s, some moved
west, establishing a presence in places like Warrenton, Hillsborough and Charlotte. One of the most important Jewish families, the Mordecais, came from Virginia, first to Warrenton and then to Raleigh, where their home place has been preserved as an important public historic site. The Mordecai children and descendents became physicians, presidents of institutions like banks and railroads, authors and teachers. Ironically, the family’s success led to intermarriage with Christians. Many “nonJewish” families can trace their origins to the Mordecais. In the years before and after the Civil War, wholesalers in New York and Baltimore supplied goods for Jewish peddlers and for a growing number of established Jewish merchants in North Carolina small towns. Between 1840 and 1860, 48 North Carolina towns had a Jewish store. As the North Carolina Railroad pushed into the Piedmont, Jewish merchants followed. In the following years, Jewish migration escalated. Rogoff confronts with candor some of the painful challenges Jews faced. He described the complicated Jewish accommodation to slavery and the racial caste system that replaced it. He explains the difficulty Jews had in preserving their religious traditions in a society dominated by Christians. He shows the tensions within the Jewish community between the orthodox religious views of newer immigrants from Eastern Europe and those whose more liberal views had been shaped by a long time of contact with American traditions. In more recent times, increasing numbers of Jews have moved from selling merchandise to manufacturing it — or to the professions and other businesses. Rogoff tells with some pride the contributions of Jews and Jewish families to public service and their generosity to community, educational, and charitable causes. The Jewish experience in “down home” North Carolina has been something like the best business deal: Good for both parties — very good for Jews and great for North Carolina. So is Rogoff ’s book. D.G. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www. unctv.org/ncbookwatch/.

The truth about gun sales to terrorists VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Months before he loaded his SUV with propane tanks and fireworks and drove to Times Square, police say, Faisal Shahzad went to a firearms store and bought a rifle. It was found in his other car at Kennedy Airport, where his name showed up on the no-fly list in time to keep him from escaping. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., is one of many people wondering why a suspected terrorist can be barred from flying but not from purchasing a gun. It “defies common sense,” he says, that “the rights of terrorists are placed above the safety of everyday Americans.” Well, not exactly. Anyone convicted of terrorism has no right to buy a gun, since felons are barred under federal law. And Lautenberg neglects to mention that in denying constitutional rights to people merely suspected of dangerous connections, he would deny rights to lots of peaceable “everyday Americans.” His bill, the subject of a recent Senate hearing, gives the attorney general the power to block gun sales to anyone the government suspects of being a terrorist. Never mind the obstacle known as the Second Amendment, which according to the Supreme Court protects an individual right to own guns for personal use.
Someone arrested, tried and found guilty of a crime loses that particular freedom. But Lautenberg’s bill would strip the right from many people without forcing the government to show they’ve done anything wrong. It’s not entirely clear what it takes to be tagged in the government’s terrorist watch list, which includes more than a million names and has been plagued with errors. “How you get on is a mystery, and how you get off is extremely difficult,” says Mike German, a former FBI agent now with the American Civil Liberties Union. A 2009 evaluation by the Justice Department’s inspector general found that many nominations “were processed with little or no information explaining why the subject may have a nexus to terrorism.” The FBI also “did not consistently update or remove watch list records when appropriate.” If you get put on the list by mistake, you may find yourself permanently exiled to the Twilight Zone. The program under which innocent Americans may challenge their designation “does not always provide meaningful solutions,” according to the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security. Supporters of the bill lament that, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, people on the watch list have tried to buy firearms more than 1,200 times, with 91 percent of the sales going through. That could mean al-Qaida has a good-sized secret domestic arsenal by now. Or it could mean that a lot of people thought to be a mortal threat were about as bloodthirsty as Jill Biden. The more interesting question is whether any of the purchases led to terrorist violence. If supporters
of the bill had examples to flog, you can be sure they would. In any event, the FBI keeps track of anyone on the list who buys a gun and sometimes steps up surveillance in response. The proposed law wouldn’t have impeded Shahzad because he didn’t make the list until after he bought the rifle. Nidal Hasan, the alleged Fort Hood shooter, failed to get a nomination. Most of the people on the terrorist roll, as it happens, can’t buy guns legally anyway, because most of them are not Americans. Under federal law, firearms may be purchased only by U.S. citizens or legal resident aliens. Barring gun sales on the basis of mere suspicion might be permissible except for that pesky Second Amendment. The Constitution doesn’t specifically enshrine the right to ride in a commercial airliner or even the right to travel. The right to own a gun, by contrast, is right there in black and white. Not only that, but someone blocked from boarding a plane can always travel by train, bus, boat or car, says UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh, which is one reason courts have upheld restrictions on flying. “But this completely prohibits you from even possessing a gun,” he notes, once you’ve gotten notice that you are forbidden to buy one. All this would happen without the normal requirements of due process, which makes it unconstitutional as well as unwise. Note to the federal government: You are entitled to deny firearms to anyone engaged in efforts to commit acts of terrorism -- just as soon as you can prove it.

FROM PAGE 1 CHAIR From page 1
“It has some nostalgia, too,” Colonna said. “It’s a symbol of the heart of the community at that time.” Aside from its fame as the largest chair worldwide, the Big Chair caught the attention of the nation in 1960 when vice-presidential candidate Lyndon B. Johnson greeted local supporters from atop the chair. Since then, the Big Chair has seen governors, university presidents, mayors and beauty queens, and it is listed in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. “That chair is very, very famous, and that chair will remain to stand up there on the corner for years to come,” Mayor Joe Bennett said. “It signifies that that’s what the city was all about in years past.” But the city’s roots began far before the manufacturing days and the Big Chair. Officially established in 1852, the idea of Thomasville hatched when North Carolina passed a tax to fund a railroad system in 1840. N.C. Senator John W. Thomas — for whom the town is named — realized that right along the railroad tracks would be the perfect place to start a community, especially almost right in the geographic center of the state. “The railroad is the factor as to why we as Thomasville are located here, with the railroad going down through the middle of the city,” Bennett said. “All of that is extremely important about the town and of course the people that have made it.” Thomas was a Whig representative from Davidson County in the N.C. General Assembly in 1831 and was elected to the

state Senate in 1842. In 1856, Thomas took a bill to Raleigh to incorporate the town of Thomasville, which was ratified on Jan. 8, 1857. About 158 years later, Thomasville has grown from a small railroad town to a city with a population of 25,400. The city erected a statue of Thomas in his honor. But even though time has passed and the Chair City has stopped making quite so many chairs, both Bennett and Colonna say that it’s good to remember the past. “It’s very important to maintain and keep the history as to how it became Thomasville, N.C., as it has grown through the years, of what it is today,” Bennett said. Without the historical districts, neighborhoods, buildings and landmarks, Thomasville loses some of its character, Colonna says. “That’s the way Thomasville was, and we want to preserve it for the generations to come so they can understand what the heritage was,” he said. “A lot of it is about the people and not just about the buildings. It’s trying to preserve the past for the present.” The Big Chair continues to be a symbol of how the past can find a place in the present. Though the overwhelming presence of furniture industries has long gone away, and the generations of furniture manufacturers are aging, the Chair City is still remembered across the state and even the country for the monument that marks its history. “It will continue to be a landmark in Thomasville, N.C.,” Bennett said. “It stands very proud. It’s not what it was in years past, but it’s still a recognized piece of the history of Thomasville.”
increase by 8 percent in the proposed budget. A previous rate study called for a 5.2 percent increase, and an additional 2.8 percent increase was necessary due to a decrease in consumption, according to City Manager Kelly Craver’s report. Thomasville City Schools were allotted about $1.3 million. The council set a public hearing for June 7 at 7 p.m. in the council chamber of the Thomasville Police Department to discuss the proposed 2010-2011 budget. Copies of the budget are on display in City Hall. In other news, the coun-
Two arrested for kidnapping, assault TIMES STAFF REPORT Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office arrested two Thomasville men and charged them with kidnapping. According to a DCSO press release, Ronnie Jerrod Gladney Jr., 23, of 918 Culbreth Ave., and Clarence Jamal Gordon, 16, of 926 Culbreth Ave., were arrested Friday and charged with first degree kidnapping, sexual battery and sexual servitude of a child victim in reference to an assault and robbery at 1012 National Highway. Deputies responded to the call and discovered the victim knew the suspects and
invited them to her residence to visit. Once there, the suspects allegedly assaulted the victim by touching her in an appropriate manner. When the victim tried to flee, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and pointed it at her. The suspects again sexually assaulted the victim and left, taking a camera and $15 in cash. Gladney also was charged with assault by pointing a firearm and Gordon is charged with larceny. Both suspects were remanded to the custody of the Davidson County Jail and issued $150,000 bonds. They are scheduled to appear in court on July 6.

“When you play teams at this point of the year, they are all going to be pretty good,” Fowler said. “When you play a oneand-done tournament, you have to play your Agame or you are done.” East played two terrific games in the Central Carolina Conference tourney, though losing 1-0 to threetime defending state champion Central Davidson in the finals. Leadoff hitter Natalie Naturile is
dangerous at the top of the lineup for the offense, and Spencer Embler has been sharp in the circle. The Golden Eagles have plenty of other weapons that can make clutch plays on any given night, but the consistency has not always been there. East had several scoring chances against the Spartans last week, but the one hit they needed never came to fruition. “We played real well in
the conference tournament,” said Fowler. But we have got to play consistent. If we do, we feel like we will have a chance to win the ballgame.” Ledford took an unexpected blow late in the season with a surprising loss to Southern Guilford a few weeks after they had 10-run ruled their Mid-Piedmont Conference foes.

NASCAR Hall of Fame on its game Fame, according to a very old saying, is the perfume of heroic deeds. So if anyone in the vicinity of Charlotte, N.C. notices an unfamiliar aroma in the air as they go about their daily business, don’t panic. The reason may well be the fact that the long awaited NASCAR Hall of Fame has opened its doors at last. The decision regarding the facility’s location was officially announced in March 2006, and the ensuing four years have, in typical NASCAR fashion, sped by as designs were approved, exhibits were collected, and the selection process for the inaugural inductee class was completed. Now the deal is done, the doors are open (as of May 11), and all the speculation can cease, as fans are now able to crawl inside and take a ride in this 150,000 square foot time capsule. I’ve already been asked about the NASCAR Hall of Fame, several times. One conversation went something like this. Him: “Hey, are you going up to that museum thing?” Me: “What museum thing? Do you mean the NASCAR Hall of Fame?” Him: “What’s the difference?” Good question. Strictly by definition, a museum is a depository where significant objects — artworks or historical relics, for example — are housed and displayed. The term hall of fame, on the other hand, generally refers to a group of people judged to be outstanding in a particular profession, like music or sports.

DOVER, Del. — Kyle Busch took advantage of a rare mistake by fourtime Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson to pull away for an easy win Sunday in the Autism Speaks 400 presented by HERSHEY’S Milk & Milkshakes at Dover International Speedway. Busch, 25, a champion in waiting, and Johnson, a proven one, waged quite a battle on the highbanked, 1-mile track, the lead see-sawing back and forth between the two each time the race resumed following five caution periods and assorted green-flag stops. But when Johnson was flagged for speeding while exiting the pits during a round of green-flag stops on Lap 363 and forced to return to pit road to serve a drive-through penalty, the battle was effectively over. By the time Johnson returned to the track, he was one lap down. And Busch was long gone. “We snookered him on that one,” Busch told his crew as he streaked past the finish line. “He saw us coming, and he sped.” Pitting closer to the entrance to pit road, Johnson had completed his stop and was making his way back onto the track when Busch shot out of his pit box alongside him. Johnson said he didn’t speed up to beat Busch back onto the track but

one,” Johnson said. “So what I can take from this is that I got a much better launch out of my pit box than I did on other pit stops and then was speeding in that given area.
“At the end (of pit road), I wasn’t busted. I knew Kyle had me beat when I saw the jack drop for him and he was easing away

Jeffreys wins 25-lapper for Modified division BG REPORT Lee Jeffreys was happy to qualify on the pole for K&N Filters Night, happy to lead every lap, and happy to take the checkered flag. But the thing that really put a smile on his face was reminding all the fans that he’s as much a force to be reckoned with as the often-mentioned names of Burt Myers and Tim Brown. “Brown and Myers — that’s all you heard last year,” said Jeffreys. “We’re going to see if we can’t get our name out there several times.” Jeffreys knew that

Jeffreys shot out to the lead as the green flag fell, while Myers took advantage of his inside lane position to slip into second. Myers began putting the pressure on Jeffreys, giving him a few taps to the rear — but Jeffreys was unshaken. Despite several caution restarts, the No. 77 of Jeffreys stayed up front until the end. The No. 1 car of Myers came in second. Jonathan Brown of WinstonSalem finished third,

with Randy Butner of Pfafftown finishing fourth. Junior Miller of Danbury started off his night with a streak of bad luck. First, he was unable to compete in his primary racecar as he waited on purchased parts to come in. Then, Miller’s back-up car had problems during practice. “We thought it was ready to go, because in practice two weeks ago it ran fine,” said Miller. “When we went out to practice today, it just ran flat.” The crew of Miller worked feverishly to get the car running again, but they were unable to do so in time for the No. 69 to make a qualifying attempt. Miller would make the field based on a provisional start, but he would be forced to lineup at the very rear of the

When the time came for the Four Seasons Home Improvement “Madhouse Scramble” to shake up the starting lineup for the second race, Miller was placed on the pole. It seemed at first like a chance of redemption for the Miller team, until raindrops began to fall right as the cars were being rolled out to start the second race. “If my motor would’ve run, we would’ve had a cake walk for that second race,” said Miller.

We attacked during the conference tournament and played really well, and I feel like we are back on top.”
Ledford has the sticks to produce a plethora of runs, but their ticket to success will be how well Kristen Murphy performs on the rubber. She has been up and down at times, and Meg Everhart has done well in backing her up. But Murphy has proven herself before in big games, and when the first pitch is thrown tonight, she will be the one letting it go. “Murphy has struggled a little bit here and there due to an illness, but she is getting back and she is our ace,” Brown said. “She is who we are going with.”

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future. There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA.

Eagles waltz into second round TIMES STAFF REPORT Tyler Lequire pitched a completegame shutout and produced a key hit to get East Davidson some breathing room, as the Golden Eagles advanced past West Lincoln 8-0 Friday evening in the first round of the NCHSAA 2-A state playoffs. East moves on to the second round where they will face perennial power East Rutherford on the road Tuesday. Rebel starter Cameron Hyde was locked into a pitcher’s duel with Lequire through four innings, as neither allowed a run to score. In the fifth, though, the Golden Eagles drew first blood and went for the knockout punch in the frame. Preston Gammons reached on an error with one out, then went to second on Taylor Warren’s infield single. A fielder’s choice by Justin Weavil put runners on the corners with two outs, putting Hyde one out away from escaping without harm. Hyde lost command of his pitches at the wrong time, first yielding a free pass to Justin Hulin, then walking Keaton
HALL From page 7 My family visited museums a time or two when I was a kid. This usually involved a few hours of whining, yawning and searching for the restroom. On one unfortunate occasion, I actually planted myself next to a cannon on the deck of the majestic Battleship North Carolina and refused to budge until it was time to leave and go to Taco Bell. The first official “hall” I remember visiting was the Hall of Presidents at Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The animatronic Abraham Lincoln broke down in mid-speech (I am not making this up), and I found the whole experience frankly unsettling. I grew up, of course, and learned how wrong I was. ‘Museums’ and ‘halls of fame’ are things we think we know, but the country’s newest homage to professional sports treats that perception to four fresh tires and a full tank of gas, setting it on its ear.

After fighting off several pitches, Lequire sent an offering to the gap in right-center for a double, clearing the bases for a 4-0 Golden Eagle lead. Davin Lawson took care of getting Lequire home, ripping a single to left to give East an insurmountable 5-0 lead with the way Lequire was pitching. East added three more runs in the sixth for the final total.

Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin and David Reutimann completed the top five. There were eight race leaders, but once Kasey Kahne faltered — bitten by a broken gear-shifter early in the race — the battle for the win was between Busch and Johnson. “I think the race off pit road really won it for us,” Busch said, noting that he didn’t know if Johnson sped in an attempt to beat him back onto the track, “but that’s what I’m going with. “I wouldn’t say that we psyched Jimmie out.

Ledford vs Mount Pleasant Ledford nearly pulled off the comeback on Friday in the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs, but in the end came up short in a 4-3 loss. Victor Zecca had tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the seventh with a two-run homer with two outs, but Mount Pleasant scored the winning run in the bottom half on a throwing error.

is a display of cars from racing’s early days to the present, positioned on an actual banked track. The highlight of the facility is the Hall of Honor, where NHOF inductees will be enshrined and their careers and contributions celebrated. The inaugural Hall of Fame class includes Dale Earnhardt, Bill France Sr., Bill France Jr., Junior Johnson and Richard Petty. Perhaps even more moving than seeing these visual displays of racing history is hearing what NASCAR’s living legends have to say about their Hall of Fame. “For me to go in ... with Richard and the Frances and Earnhardt was just unbelievable. It still ain’t soaked in,” Johnson said. “It’s just the greatest thing that ever happened to me.” Petty took the opportunity to reflect on his personal experience with the evolution of NASCAR in typically self-effacing fashion. “Of all the thousands and thousands of people who worked to make NASCAR what it is today, we were just along for the ride,” he said. In an interview on Sirius NASCAR Radio on the Hall’s opening day, Bobby Allison, a surefire future Hall of Famer, said that to be inducted would be the greatest moment of his career. To finally have a place where the story of NASCAR unfolds in front of
visitors is a wonderful thing, but truly it is the personalities like these men, and countless more like them, that have really made this wonderful sport come alive and find a home in the heart of America. Once in a very blue moon, we have a Goldilocks experience, and stumble across a painstakingly assembled assortment of people and things, of fond memories and future plans, of rebellion and respect. It isn’t too hot, and it is never dull. It isn’t too quiet, and it doesn’t break down. You are happy when you get there, and sorry when it’s time to leave. You learn some new things, and are reminded of some things you already knew. It’s rare, but it has happened. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is no fairy tale, but a reality at last. And it is just right.

pretty much been through all the head games in this world. “But … it kind of turned our way today. Unfortunately for those guys … they got busted for speeding and we weren’t able to beat them outright and race them around to the end of the race the last 30 laps. “But I feel like our car was at least good enough where we could at least challenge them for it, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that we could have beat him today, with or without the penalty. But he had a fast racecar all day. It was a fun battle there racing him through the last … 100 laps or so.” Busch led six times for 131 laps, and the win moved him to second in the point standings. He trails points leader Kevin Harvick, who finished seventh, by 69 points. Johnson led eight times for 225 laps. His 16th-place finish, however, dropped him two spots to fourth, in the standings.

Cunningham, Marshall plan for two debates BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Cal Cunningham and Elaine Marshall, candidates for the Democratic U.S. Senate runoff Primary Election, will engage in two debates before the June 22 showdown. Though five debates are on the docket, Marshall has committed to only two so far — WRAL on Thursday, June 10, at 7 p.m. and NBC17 on Tuesday, June 15, both in Raleigh. “We have accepted two Cunningham debates for the runoff primary, twice the number held during the first primary,” said Thomas Mills, a representative with Marshall’s campaign. “We’re confident that North Carolina voters will have the information. At this point, we’re Marshall comfortable with the two debates.” Cunningham’s campaign has confirmed all five, the remaining three being with Triad Today in Winston-Salem — the only public interest news program in the Triad — WWAY in Wilmington and WTVR in Durham. Marshall has officially declined the debate in WinstonSalem due to scheduling conflicts. “I’ve sent a letter to her to encourage her to keep our campaigns in front of the public,” Cunningham said in a press conference Monday. “We’ve expressed a willingness to move our schedule if
that’s a problem.” Cunningham says that his push for the debates actually stems from a point Marshall made. “She expressed a willingness to clear her schedule to dialogue with people, and she thought that’s what politics should be about,” Cunningham said. “I’m agreeing with her today. It’s an election, not a coronation. Voters should have the opportunity to see the candidates.” The increased discussion about Democratic political views also will help the party as a whole, Cunningham says. “Our state and our party are stronger when our candidates — she and I — are engaging voters,” he said. “I think that’s good for the party and that’s good for the candidates.” Mills said that Marshall also embraces the opportunity to let voters know her stance on the issues, though a jammed-full schedule left her capable of committing to only the debate dates suggested to her on the night of the primary. “I think it’s fair to give people another look at candidates,” Mills said. “I think that two debates are going to be plenty.” Both contestants are gearing up to face off against Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the General Election. Though the gap in votes between the two Democratic candidates was about 3,800, Cunningham says polls now show he and Marshall are tied. “We need to get out and engage voters and allow folks to hear us,” Cunningham said. “I’m pleased to see that we will carry the momentum forward from the primary.”

AREA NEWS Smart Start to host forum for Business Leaders TIMES STAFF REPORT Today, for the first time in the history of mankind, there are four generations jostling for elbowroom in the workplace. According to the U.S. Census, there are 44 million Traditionalists, the most senior generation, largely retired now and leaving the workforce in droves. There are 80 million Baby Boomers, the largest group; while some have retired early; greater numbers are set to retire beginning in 2011, creating an employment gap unlike anything business and industry has experienced before. Then there are 68 million Generation Xers, currently moving into management, upper management, and executive positions. Finally, there are 72 million Millennials, also known as Generation Y, born between 1982 and 2000. Simply put, while the current economic downturn may delay Baby Boomers retirement plans, there’s no escaping the demographic reality that in the very near future, 80 million Baby Boomers will be retiring with only 72 million Millennials to replace them. This will create a vacuum, increasing demand and competition for young employees. Nowhere is this employment-gap dynamic more evident than in the current economic tumult. Gen Y costs less to employ, bring greater technological skills and flexibility to the workforce. Companies have made workforce reductions in an effort to create a sustainable and lean workforce for their future survival, looking for younger employees to fill skill gaps. This aforethought is frustrated by Gen Y’s tendency to challenge everything that looks to them like a “traditional” method of going about business. Generation Y requires more from management: more attention, more direction, more flexibility, more feedback, and more remediation of skills. What will this mean for the parents of the next generation born after Gen Y? What type of world will their children inherit? What can parents do NOW to increase the likelihood that their children will succeed in the future? These questions will be addressed in the the Generations Presentation. Smart Start of Davidson County will host this Business Leaders Forum sponsored by the Lexington and Thomasville Chambers of Commerce, Thomasville Medical Center, and Focus on Leadership. The event will take place on Thursday, May 27th at First Baptist Church in Lexington from 12:00 to 1:30pm. The event is free of charge and lunch will be served. Reservations are required. Please call Erin at (336) 249-6688 for more information.

Know when to replace smoke alarms A properly maintained smoke alarm will work forever, right? Not so fast. All hardwired or battery-operated smoke alarms, installed before May 2000, should be replaced now. A smoke alarm’s lifespan is 10 years, which means any smoke alarm installed before May 2000 is too old and needs to be replaced. The smoke alarm is no longer reliable. Part of smoke alarm maintenance includes knowing when

You can use a date you already know, like your birthday or when you change your clocks as a reminder. • Write the installation date on the inside cover of the smoke alarm for future reference. Homeowners, landlords and renters should check to verify exactly when each smoke alarm in the home was installed. If any smoke alarm was installed before May 2000, now is the time to have it replaced.

• Every residence, and place where people sleep, should be equipped with both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms or dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors. • Place properly installed and maintained smoke alarms both inside and outside of sleeping areas and on every level of your home.

More than 3,000 people die in home fires each year, and the majority of them have no working smoke alarms.
