VIETNAM VETERAN’S MEMORIAL

ust standing in silence within the brick-ringed clearing can evoke an overwhelming sense of awe. Sitting back, watching fingers trace over the names of loved ones and seeing mouths move in silent prayer brings tears to the eyes. For Joe Leonard, the North
Carolina Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial is almost a sacred place, filled with memories and hope and loss. “I don’t know if the number of people that’ve gone in there, if they’ve felt reverence, a sense of patriotism, a sense of loss,” Vietnam vet Joe Leonard said. “It’s awesome to go in there and then have this feeling that you get just standing there among these people that gave everything they had.”
The memorial, constructed in 1991, features a wall built of 1,647 bricks — each manufactured in North Carolina — naming the North Carolina soldiers who died or went missing in Vietnam. The clearing is ringed with a brick path bordered by 100 North Carolina River Birch trees decorated with yellow ribbons, one for each of the 100 North Carolina counties. The memorial also honors the more than 216,000 North
Carolinians who served in the war. “It symbolizes the ones who have given their lives for our freedom,” said former Thomasville Mayor Hubert Leonard, Joe Leonard’s brother. “It just honors them. It’s probably one of the central points of recognizing the people, particularly those in Vietnam, who sacrificed.” Hubert Leonard was a ma-

The name may have changed, but the meaning and symbolism remains the same. On May 31, Thomasville will again host what is now called the North Carolina Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony Inc., continuing a tradition that has grown into the largest such event in the Southeast. What started out as a gathering at a veteran’s memorial near Cushwa Stadium 20 years ago, the annual Memorial Day parade now at-

In an effort to bring more recognition to the sacrifice of veterans, Joe and Hubert, along with many others, began holding a small service of less

than 100 people. As time went on, the event grew to what is now the largest Memorial Day celebration in North Carolina. Joe Leonard feels the parade is important to young people who may not be aware of all the sacrifices that were made to make their way of life possible. “A vast majority of young people have no idea the price that’s paid for the freedoms they enjoy,” said Leonard. “Here, you get to see the people who actually did it.

Though ransom notes and human trafficking may seem the elements of movies and third world countries, statistics prove such thoughts to be nothing more than a misconception. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 797,000 children younger than 18 were reported missing in a one-year period with an average of 2,185 reported missing each day. “We were just alarmed by the statistics,” said Lois Hunter, executive director of Thomasville Housing Authority. “We have children in our community and we wanted to makes awareness to the community for the safety of our children.” Thomasville Housing Authority will hold a Community Safety Fair Take 25 Campaign event on Tuesday, May 25, from 5 to 8 p.m. to commemorate National Missing Children’s Day.

Your Town. Your Times.
In pursuit of wellness, our corporate client ‘Don’ took an online assessment called the Enneagram. Specifically, we used the RHETI, from the Enneagram Institute. The way this system works, your results include a numerical score for ALL nine types – and it’s up to you to draw your own conclusions. Don’s scores were very surprising to him initially. His highest category was 8 and is described in this way: 8 THE CHALLENGER The Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational. Having worked with Don for many years, I can see his surprise at the results and a possible explanation for it. I do not believe most people in his organization would describe Don as ‘Dominating, Willful, and Confrontational.’ In fact his common sense, high degree of people skills, and sharp emotional intelligence have all contributed strongly to his rise through the ranks of the organization he has served for many years. Don’s present job title required him to step into his power, exude confidence and be more decisive. He has met that challenge. Yet would others call him ‘the Challenger’? Would he call himself ‘the Chal-
TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist lenger’? Probably not. His second highest score was in a completely different arena – which naturally produced more questions from Don. The number two slot went to category 2, which is described in this way: 2 THE HELPER The Caring, Interpersonal Type: Demonstrative, Generous, PeoplePleasing, and Possessive Talk about a split personality? No, not really. The Enneagram system holds that each type has two other directions it moves to when we are under stress or seeking growth. Guess which type the stressed 2 becomes? Yep – the 8. Don seems to be managing his job responsibilities extremely well, but there is no question that he is constantly ‘on call’. The unrelenting high state of readiness produces a low level of stress that he finds it

difficult to move away from. Couple that with the fact that he now has much broader span of control and the Type 2 Helper eventually becomes the Type 8 Hulk. I often find that when clients are moving into new phases in life, new areas of responsibility or are undergoing any serious type of change, they respond to formal assessment questions in such a way that actually ‘type’ themselves differently. Because type is a snapshot a not a moving picture, it can be helpful to understand whether the scores reflect lifelong tendencies or ‘experimental’ new areas. If Don wants to use the Enneagram tool as part of his growth process, discovering the type that fits him best is key. Then he can evaluate his stress profile, identify the type that offers him respite (in this case 4) and dig in to new ways to reach his personal wellspring.

As a child in the 1960s, it was always fun to hear the adults talk about the Great Depression in hushed tones and watch them squirrel money away, just in case. The boom years of that decade made their behavior seem quaint. Even the shortlived recessions of the 1970s and ‘80s weren’t enough to change that perspective. Americans saved less and less and bought more and more on credit. Whatever lessons were learned by our parents were apparently hopelessly lost on us. We marched in the streets for equal rights and somehow worked that into a grand sense of entitlement. Then, September of 2008 came along and took a very sharp pin to that financial bubble. The Great Recession had already officially begun nine months earlier and the roots of it were at least a few years old. But its real origins probably dated back to when McMansions became acceptable in small lots in the late ‘70s and people paid more for tire rims than they put into their child’s orthodontics. Ridiculousness was in vogue. The eventual financial folderol that went on with people buying big houses without a job and poor credit and then the loans being bundled and sold over and over again, passing through a lot of formerly staid financial houses ended up costing a lot of people their jobs, their homes and their 401k’s. Unlike the previous recessions, everyone was affected, some more than others and there were a lot of people who were financially hammered who had done everything by the book. Seniors who had saved up for retirement and invested in what looked like reasonable securities watched everything evaporate. Parents planning for college who had put money away in state run funds watched some of those funds turn up empty. Employees who had shown up early and stayed late for years on end found out that loyalty wasn’t going to buy them much and were laid off. So, here we are at the exit door to the Great Recession
as things start to slowly ease. The big financial houses are still paying themselves ridiculous bonuses and the hearings, lawsuits and criminal trials are all just getting started. Those will play out for at least another decade. But what about the average taxpayer who got a real eyeful of how much they’re valued by big business, big government or even their own community? Some of it was good news but a lot of it was the cold shoulder along with the bill. There are a few good questions we need to ask ourselves and this time have a lot more discipline about the answers and the necessary actions than we’ve managed to show in the past. Let’s start with a long look at the idea of bailouts and who should qualify. It was easier for a few years there to get a billion dollar interest free loan for companies that had poor credit than it was for a small business in good standing to get a relatively small line of credit. The smaller business would have also owed more in interest. There have been a lot of cries of “socialism” about the bailouts but if there was any aspect it was that the companies were willing to accept them without having to pay their due. On the personal level, we can all stand a good long look at how much we had invested in ourselves every month, whether it was in the form of real dollars or even education to stay current. There was a general lack of honesty when it came to applying for credit cards about how much we could afford. That was possible because of how few of us even made up a household budget that showed exactly how much money comes in the door and how much goes out and to where. We largely ignored it all and hoped for the best. Now, we are thankfully getting a second chance. There’s a possibility that because of all the euro nonsense going on with Greece that this is only a breather. Either way, here’s our opportunity to try out some new behaviors that will lessen our personal drama should we lose another job or watch our investments seep away. Then, the next time we can also make better choices about what we do with the large insolvent corporations that have their hands out because we won’t be as interdependent on the outcome.
And the enlightened tyrants will lead us VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist In a recent interview with a Spanish newspaper, famed director Woody Allen reportedly declared himself “pleased” with President Barack Obama’s presidency. “I think he’s brilliant. The Republican Party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him,” Allen explained. Then he waded into thorny terrain by saying, “It would be good ... if he could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly.” Allen, who, one hopes, was joking, doesn’t speak for anyone but himself (and perhaps Soon Yi Previn-Farrow-Allen) yet makes a good point. Aside from the occasional genocide, oppression, evil and torture, etc., it is inarguable that public policy could be implemented more rapidly in an autocracy. Think of how many uninsured Americans we could have helped. Think of the environmental benefits. Democratic institutions are imperfect and chaotic, and man’s selfish behavior is constantly gumming up progress. Just ask widely read liberal New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who pointed out (twice in recent months) that despotism can be advantageous if “enlightened” tyrants (in this case, environmental-
ists) would run the show. “One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks,” according to Friedman. “But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages.” Of course, some form or another of Friedman’s rationale has been used in nearly every embryonic dictatorship. Now, if only Venezuela and Sudan funded more solar farms, Friedman could embrace their progressive forms of governance, as well. Friedman isn’t alone. The lure of enlightened autocracy is why MSNBC’s Chris Matthews can casually ask, as he did on his show this week, why the oil industry hasn’t been nationalized yet. It is why Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan can stand in front of the Supreme Court, as she did last year, and defend book banning (for the administration, via bipartisan legislation). The idea drives people like Donald Berwick, a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health and Obama’s pick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Berwick will be charged with managing government health care programs. It is true that Berwick is smarter than you and I. He can prove it with a hat trick of Harvard degrees. But his advocacy for state monopolies and top-down control borders on religious zealotry. As The American Spectator reported in 2008, in a speech celebrating the anniversary of the U.K.’s National Health Service, Berwick asserted not only that the socialized systems were excellent but also — and you might have believed he was talking about Gandhi or, at least,
Angelina Jolie — that they were “generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just.” Britain’s rationing probably doesn’t seem exceptionally “joyous” for many of that nation’s elderly (the evidence is not pretty) or “generous” to those who pay a disproportionate amount of the tab. Yet Berwick’s most revealing assertion was that he does not “believe that the individual health care consumer can enforce through choice the proper configurations of a system as massive and complex as health care. That is for leaders to do.” Health care choice is too complicated for you. When you’re buying your kid medicine, for instance, you’re woefully oblivious to the “proper configurations of the system” as a whole. This is a problem. You’re not thinking about the group, my friend. And seeing as Americans wrestle with an array of intricate societal systems — from energy, education, technology, food, farming, communications, finance and so forth — we’re going to need strong leadership in a number of areas, apparently. It seems that the negative externalities of our freewheeling ways have become too much for some of the enlightened to bear. Progressivism is the belief that we have too much freedom with which to make too many stupid choices. But rarely do we see it this bluntly articulated.

jor force in getting the memorial erected in Thomasville in the first place. Because of its central location, the state chose Davidson County for the wall’s location, erecting it at a state-maintained rest stop on I-85 to ensure easy access for visitors. “It’s a good reminder of the North Carolinians that gave all that they had,� Joe Leonard said. “It recognizes the price that the North Carolina military has paid for the freedoms we all enjoy. It represents a heroic American in the finest sense of the word.� Besides Thomasville’s central location, the Chair City’s rich history in America’s wars also makes the site fitting. In testimony to that fact, Tourism Director Mark Scott recalls a young man who was receiving a promotion at the Pentagon. Given a choice of where to receive the honor, the man elected the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Thomasville. “He could have had that ceremony anywhere,� Scott said. “He chose that to represent all of Thomasville because of the respect that Thomasville has for military people.� The Vietnam Memorial emphasizes and contributes to that sense of reverence, Scott said. “It helps solidify that this is an area where people appreciate people making that ultimate sacrifice,� he said. “That same type of attitude seeps into other parts of their lives.� Whether it be the 149year-old cemetery hon-
VIETNAM VETERAN’S MEMORIAL ON MEMORIAL DAY Thomasville’s Memorial Day celebration begins each year with a wreath-laying ceremony at the North Carolina Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Thomasville. The ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. and involves a keynote speaker and the placement of a purple and white wreath, the colors representing the Vietnam War and the Purple Heart. oring Civil War fallen or various monuments around the city, Chair City residents have long held war heroes in high esteem. And that appreciation hasn’t gone unnoticed by veterans. A group of Vietnam vets, called the Band of Brothers, who arrange reunions every Memorial Day in different locations across the country, chose to attend Thomasville’s celebration two years ago. Thomasville honored the veterans in a ceremony. “They saw thousands of people in the stands stand up and cheer for them, and to see the looks on their faces — to see people that appreciated their efforts even though it may have been decades after it happened,� Scott said. The recognition came doubly significant to those Vietnam soldiers because Americans had looked down on the war for so long. “Sometimes it’s called the forgotten war,� Scott said. “The people had ostracized them. Those guys had finally gotten their due.� Joe Leonard says the Vietnam War has been accused of being shrouded in politics, and as such many veterans were
shunned by their fellow countrymen. But the North Carolina Memorial helps to remind those soldiers how appreciated they are. “All of the people, whether they served in combat or they were not a combat veteran, these were people who put themselves in harm’s way,� Joe Leonard said. “We have got to remember those who have paid the price. One day we will fully remember and honor what we did in Vietnam.� Hand in hand with recognizing the sacrifices of soldiers, the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial also serves to educate the younger members of society who haven’t experienced a war like those in the past. “We’ve got generations who have no idea about this,� Joe Leonard said. “We must remember the price we paid for freedom. We have a responsibility and an obligation to remember and pay tribute to and honor those who have gone forth and those that will go in the future.� Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.
From page 1 There’s not a classroom in the world when you can see that kind of history.� Veterans dating back to World War II will be on hand during the parade, as well as family members. The celebration will begin at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial on Interstate 85 at 9:30 a.m. before moving to Main Street. The route turns onto Salem Street and ends at Veteran’s Memorial Park. “We’re expecting between 25 and 30,000 people this year,� Col. Bruce Guard said. “The main thing the parade means is that we have the opportunity to talk to and mingle with the families. We’ve got between 9 and 12 families coming to the ceremony. They mean more to us than anyone.� Lt. Col. Leon Wessel is a co-chairman for the event and said he is hap-

The event will include safety and crime prevention exhibits, free child identification kits — which include a finger print and a photo ID — vehicle safety information, a raffle of a child’s bike and helmet, refreshments, a performance by Thomasville Senior High band, and a presentation by Thomasville Chief of Police Jeffrey Insley on Take 25. “Our goal is to reach as many people as possible,� Hunter said. “That’s why in this year’s event we’ve included some of the other agencies to partner with.� Partners include the Thomasville Police Department, Thomasville City Schools and Communities in Schools, the Fire Department and the Davidson County Sheriff Office’s DARE program. “This is certainly a situation that people need to be aware of,� said Judy Younts of Communities in Schools. “It’s a situation that’s hitting close to home.� The reality of child abduction and exploitation even in surrounding areas spurred the need to raise awareness about the importance of child safety. “We need to do something about getting the information out about missing children,� Hunter said. “It serves as a reminder to the nation to renew our efforts to reunite children with their families.� The more festive format will offer a more entertaining avenue for kids and parents alike to obtain the information they need. It will also reach a larger portion of the population. “I think sometimes when something like this is brought about to a community as a whole and families as a whole, then it makes for better exposure,� Younts said. “I don’t think that people in our community think that it can touch us.� Having the information come from parents rather than — or really as well as — from teachers also helps increase a child’s awareness of the reality of the world around them. “Parents have to make it very, very clear to children that there are people that they can count on and feel safe and secure with, and there are those that aren’t,� Younts said. “Sometimes we just take things for granted and think schools are handling it. Anything you can do that is proactive in helping a child is far better than anything that’s retroactive.� And though child safety is already top-of-mind for most parents, Younts said that constantly raising awareness, especially about events that many people think can’t happen to them, never hurts. “I’d rather overkill something like that then there not be enough information,� she said. “The last thing you want is some parent or guardian to say, ‘I had no idea.’ If it keeps one child from being exploited, then we’ve done something.�

py to say how the community comes together to honor its veterans. As a Vietnam veteran, Wessell remembers coming home to protests and anger. Now, Wessell said he has seen nothing but admiration and respect from people towards those in uniform. “I was walking through the airport and noticed people standing back against a wall,� said Wessell. “I was with other soldiers and realized these people were saluting us and telling us thank you. That meant a lot to me, and I know it meant a lot to the other guys, too.� Joe Leonard said planning the parade is a year’s worth of hard work by more than 70 volunteers. This year, the parade will feature replicas of a P47, C-130 and C-117, four helicopters and an appearance by the Army’s Golden Knights. Veterans of all four branches will be attendance, as well as Congressman Howard Coble, Sen. Richard Burr, Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton

Persiani hit boosts LHS to win BY DANIEL KENNEDY Times Correspondent WALLBURG — When Sara Persiani stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday, she had every intention of getting the bunt down. Teammate DeAnna Crayton preceded her by jumpstarting Ledford’s half of the inning with a deep fly ball that was dropped by Rockingham’s center fielder for a two-base error, setting the stage for Persiani. With no outs and the game tied 2-2, Persiani fouled away two unsuccessful bunt attempts to put herself in a two-strike hole. Panthers coach Charlie Brown would later joke “she didn’t want to bunt anyway.” No matter the intent, the results that ensued could not have been more favorable for Ledford. Persiani ripped an 0-2 pitch from the Cougars’ Katie Lipford into rightcenter field to plate the game-winning run for the Panthers in a 3-2 victory in the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs. “This was my chance to win it for my team,” Persiani said. “I just kind of knew

East catcher inks with Quakers BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson senior Addie Chaney donned her black and gold jersey Tuesday evening as she has done the past four seasons for the Lady Golden Eagles in the playoffs, only this time she never got to step foot into the field of play. For the past few weeks, this has been the routine for the catcher, who has
endured a senior campaign that has been trying and difficult to cope with. She broke her hand on a play at home plate against Central Davidson earlier this season, and has not been able to compete since. With three weeks of recovery still to go, Chaney has come to the realization that her career at East was over on that single play against the Spartans. “It has been hard know-
ing I will not get to play with these girls again,” said Chaney. “They have become my family and my sisters.” Despite the heartache she has endured, there is plenty of hope and a bright future ahead for the good-spirited teenager. She recently committed to the Guilford Quakers, and will step foot on campus in the fall with

Jerod Belvin and Tevin Richardson have signed to play for the Storm, bringing a winning attitude with them having gone 46-10 the last two seasons. “These two guys know how to win and I expect them both to step in and
help us continue our winning tradition,” said Ridge. Belvin averaged 10 points per game as senior shooting 54 percent from the floor and 84 percent from the free throw line. He was a Pac-6 AllConference performer and was All-District. “He is quick and really makes his teammates better in a lot of ways,” said Ridge. “Our defense starts with point guard pressure on the ball and he is really good at that. He reminds me of Landon Bowers. He is not quite as good of a shooter, but is better on the defensive side.” Richardson’s numbers are not flashy at six points per game and 5.5 rebounds a contest, but

Kristen Murphy threw eight sparkling innings, allowing just two runs on four hits, while fanning 12. The first run — surrendered in the first inning after a bang-bang play resulted in an error at first base that allowed the Cougars’ base runner to score all the way from second — appeared as if it would stand up for the game’s duration.

Stilley got things started in the bottom of the seventh with a perfectly placed swinging bunt for an infield hit. A close call at first base on the ensuing play went the Panthers way when it was ruled Ashley Best was
safe on an attempted sacrifice due to the Cougar first baseman’s bobble of the ball as Best stepped safely onto the bag. After Meg Everhart’s groundout to the pitcher moved Stilley and Best to second and third, Mel Green knotted the score at 2 with a sacrifice fly hit so shallow into right field that the second baseman fielded the ball and nearly threw out the speedy Stilley at the plate. Thanks to the gritty play to grind a run in the sixth, seventh and eight innings, the Panthers will now have a chance to battle the winner of Wednesday’s contest between Northern Vance and Northern Guilford for their second playoff win. “I’m really proud of the girls. They just kept at it, kept digging and digging,” Brown said. “We hit the ball at times, but we hit it right at them. Murph pitched pretty well for us. We didn’t play our best game, we dealt with the nerves and stuff, but it’s the playoffs — you survive and move on.”

HiToms sign freshman infielder from Duke TIMES STAFF REPORT The HiToms Baseball Club have announced the signing of Duke University freshman and Cary native Eric Brady. While at Duke, Brady, a 6’0” 170pound infielder, has been a talented player for the Blue Devils. So far this season,
Brady has a .244 BA with 40 hits, 22 runs, seven doubles, 22 RBIs, and one home run. As an infielder for the Blue Devils, he has been quite a standout for Duke’s defense with a .918 fielding percentage with 98 catches, 29 putouts, 61 assists and nine double plays so far this season.
Myers takes points lead from Brown at Bowman Gray BG REPORT Burt Myers started off last season at Bowman Gray Stadium with a streak of mechanical problems and bad luck, putting the Walnut Cove resident behind in the points race. He came on strong at the end of the season but could never overcome the points gap between him and Tim Brown of Cana , Va.. Now in 2010, Myers is smiling. Three races into the season, he’s passed Brown for the points lead in the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. Myers qualified third in the first scheduled 25-lapper last Saturday, while Brown only managed a sixth place qualifying effort. As the race started, Myers darted past Randy Butner of Pfafftown to claim second — then proceeded to put the pres-
sure on pole-starter Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg. Jeffreys would defend the lead, giving Myers a second-place finish. The performance allowed Myers to claim the points lead. But a fifth place finish by Brown puts him only one point behind Myers. As if the points race wasn’t tight enough, Jeffreys’ win on Saturday moves him up to tie Brown for second in the points — putting him within easy striking distance of the points lead. Jeffreys has made it his aim to show that he’s as strong of a competitor as the drivers who receive so much attention on television, and moving this close to the points lead has certainly done that.

How Do You Spell Summer Fun?
C - A - M - P!

Have you ever gone to camp? Many kids spend some part of the summer at camp. Whether it’s a daytime-only program (day camp) or one where you stay overnight (resident camp), it can be a great place to make friends and create good memories. This week, The Mini Page explores more about camps and why so many kids love to go.
Camp history Almost 150 years ago, Frederick W. Gunn and his wife, Abigail, were teachers in Connecticut. They decided to take their students, all boys, on a two-week trip. The boys hiked to their campsite. They fished, went boating, and trapped animals for food. The Gunns continued their camp for the following 12 years. It was the first American organized camp.
Why go to camp? Kids might tell you that the best reason to go to camp is because it’s fun. But adults know there are other reasons. “Fun is just a feeling you get when you’re learning,� said Peg Smith, the leader of the American Camp Association.
These girls are at camp in Nashville, Ind. Some of the friendships made during a stay at camp will last through adulthood.
from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick
Building relationships with other people Experts say camp gives kids a chance to practice being adults. Kids who attend camp learn to take care of their own needs. They learn to make good decisions and solve problems on their own. Children and teenagers at camp also develop “face-to-face� relationships with other kids. This is different than having a friend over the Internet. These important friendships help kids practice skills that they’ll use as adults to get along with others.

Living at camp Kids who go away for a few days or several weeks have to think ahead. Along with their parents, campers can make a list of what they’ll need while away. Most camps will help by providing a list. Don’t make Mom or Dad do all the work! You can help by labeling your clothing and other items with your name. Along with the items listed earlier, campers might want: s DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHOES FOR HIKING SWIMMING OR SPORTS Don’t forget socks. s TOWELS AND SHEETS FOR YOUR BED 9OU MIGHT NEED A SLEEPING bag, and your own pillow will feel good after a busy day. s FAVORITE BOOKS AND MAGAZINES s A FLASHLIGHT WITH SPARE BATTERIES s PAPER ENVELOPES AND STAMPS TO WRITE LETTERS TO YOUR FAMILY s SPECIAL GEAR SUCH AS TENNIS RACKETS OR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS s A SPECIAL ITEM SUCH AS A TEDDY BEAR THAT WILL BE COMFORTING if you feel a little homesick ,EAVE YOUR CELL PHONE AT HOME MANY CAMPS DON T ALLOW THEM
Will you be homesick? Experts say most kids are at least a little homesick while away at camp. But the feeling usually passes after a day or two, when campers make friends and get involved with activities. s A LUNCH AND Talk with your family ahead of time about how you’ll handle a snacks, if necessary bout of homesickness. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick

Is Camp for You?
All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?
What type of camp?
Experts say about 10 million children go to day or resident camps each year. Another 1.5 million teenagers and young adults work as counselors at camps. Most campers will stay at a resident camp for about two weeks, but some programs last as long as eight weeks.
Kids are interested and involved in many different activities. A traditional camp offers outdoor and indoor fun, including swimming, canoeing, hiking, games, skits and other events. But some camps are focused on one subject or skill. While they may still have plenty of play time outdoors, kids will learn and try to get better at something they love. For example: s 3PORTS CAMPS ARE popular. Children might attend soccer, tennis, swimming or even scuba diving camps. s !RE YOU INTERESTED IN COOKING You might go to culinary camp and learn how to prepare delicious meals.

Lots of campers
Kids with special needs get to have all kinds of fun at summer camp.
Camp for everyone Campers for life Kids as young as 3 might attend a day camp. The average age for resident campers is 9 years old. In the last 20 years or so, new types of camps have given more people a chance to attend. For instance, a whole family can attend camp together. Experts say this is a good way to introduce young kids to camping. Even adults like to camp! Grownups of all ages can find programs that are focused on one interest or that are more like traditional camp. The Mini Page thanks Peg Smith, chief executive officer of the American Camp Association, for help with this issue.
Some children have special needs while at camp. There are many camps that welcome kids with special physical needs, such as those who use wheelchairs or braces. Other campers just like to spend time with kids who are like them. For example, programs for kids who are fighting cancer, who have diabetes or who communicate with sign language give campers a chance to have fun with others who understand those challenges.

VICKERS From page 1 the 26-year-old Vickers with having blood clots in his legs and around his lungs, and the driver has since been undergoing treatments from a team of specialists. Red Bull Team Racing requested a driver change to NASCAR that was cleared, enabling the No. 83 and Mears to participate in the annual All-Star event. “Given the extenuating circumstances we have dealt with this past week regarding Brian’s health, we would like to thank NASCAR for their assistance and understanding of this unique situation by allowing us to compete in the All-Star race,” Jay Frye, Red Bull Team Racing General Manager and Vice President, said. Just how long Vickers will be out is still up in the air, and a return date to the track has yet to be determined, according to Jayme Christianson, Vickers’ public relations representative with Red Bull Racing. Several media outlets reported Wednesday that Vickers could miss up to three months, but Christianson said that is not the case. “That is incorrect information,” said Christianson. “It’s all speculations and people are just making up stories right now. All the facts will be addressed by Brian himself. He has not spoken to anyone yet and we have not released
that information. Right now people are speculating and making stuff up as they go.” Vickers has scheduled a Friday press conference from Charlotte Motor Speedway where he is expected to address his immediate future on the race track. “Everything will be addressed then,” Christianson said. “He is still undergoing treatments and tests with the doctors so we don’t have a final word and won’t until Friday. We’re trying to avoid all the speculation and that’s why Brian will be addressing the media on Friday.” Prior to last week’s race, Vickers was in Washington D.C. planning to visit wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital when he began feeling ill on Wednesday. Vickers went to the emergency room where doctors discovered blood clots in his veins, including one near his lungs. He was released from the hospital last Friday. Vickers is in fourth year with Red Bull Racing and his seventh in Sprint Cup. He has two career wins, including one at Michigan last season when Vickers qualified for NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup. Vickers was off to a slow start in 2010 with only three top 10s, but he claimed one of those two weeks ago at Darlington. Missing last week’s Dover race, and the points that goes with it, all but assures Vickers will not make NASCAR’s post-season this year.

DCCC named as ‘Achieving the Dream’ institution TIMES STAFF REPORT
Davidson County Community College is one of only three community colleges in North Carolina selected to be part of the national initiative “Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count.” DCCC’s participation in “Achieving the Dream” signifies the College’s commitment to student success, institutional excellence, and continuous improvement. The national initiative seeks to increase student success at community colleges across the country. The designation means that DCCC will become part of a network of 130 Achieving the Dream colleges in 24 states and the District of Columbia, with more than one million students enrolled. On May 18th, DCCC joined 25 other new U.S. community colleges approved for membership. Colleges will collaborate to share data, research and strategies to increase student success, close achievement gaps and improve student retention, persistence, and completion rates. Conceived in 2004 by Lumina Foundation for Education and seven national partner organizations, Achieving the Dream focuses on creating a “culture of evidence” on community college campuses. This will feature data collection and analysis that help drive efforts to identify problems that prevent students from succeeding, particularly low-income students and students of color. Following the data analysis, initiatives and improvements will be developed to help students stay in school and earn degrees, certificates or diplomas. “We are proud to have been chosen for this important and unprecedented national effort to help more of our students succeed and develop to their greatest potential,” said Dr. Mary E. Rittling, DCCC President. “This exciting initiative will help us increase the number of students who successfully complete their courses and programs and move further up the college and career ladder. It will also assist students as they advance from basic skills to college prep to curriculum or credit-bearing courses,” said Rittling. DCCC made an initial two-year commitment to focus its efforts on closing performance gaps among specific student populations including those with low-incomes and those of color. Collaboration with other colleges will bring assistance from experienced practitioners in gathering and using data to identify problems, setting priorities, and measuring progress toward increasing student success. “There’s never been anything like this undertaken on such broad scale in higher education,” said Byron McClenney, Project Director, Fellow,
