Vitacost.com adding 228 jobs at plant in Lexington BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Vitacost.com Inc., an all-Internet based company that manufactures and sells health and wellness products, will expand its existing facility in Lexington to create 228 jobs over the next three years. The company — headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., and the producer of its own line of proprietary vitamins and supplements — will invest $6.7 million and hopes to increase the originally proposed number of jobs to 300 over five years. “Anytime we can do anything with a job creation, I’m happy about it,” said Davidson County Commissioner Chairman Dr. Max Walser. “This roughly doubles the capacity of what they were doing.” While salaries will vary depending on the job, the overall annual wage for the 228 new jobs will average $30,000 plus benefits, which lies above the Davidson County average of $29,640.

Depot ties past to present BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

nce upon a time — though not so long ago — Thomasville’s old railway depot stood in

glory. A passenger depot built in 1870 and a major stop on the new North Carolina railroad, the little building served as a transition post for the rich folks traveling by train to visit the hunting lodge right across the street. Year’s later, the depot still stands as one of North Carolina’s oldest depots and, despite its age, still serves the people of Thomasville as a visitor’s center. “It almost helps signify a changing of the times and how cities have to be,” said Thomasville Tourism Director Mark Scott. “The train used to signify our goods and products, our chairs being shipped out and people coming in by train. Now it’s interesting that the depot has become a visitor’s center because tourism has now become one of the biggest industries in North Carolina.” The foundation of the depot lies in the beginning of the railroad. The idea for the North Carolina railroad began in the 1840s with the passage of a $3 million tax. N.C. Senator John W. Thomas, who represented the Thomasville area, started the town which be-

The Thomasville Depot, which now serves as a Visitor’s Center for the Chair City, contains many artifacts from its time as a transition post for the railroad. came known as Thomasville along the proposed route of that railroad. In fact, according to some accounts, Thomas traded a four-horse drawn wagonload of bacon for 1,500 acres of land which would become a primary part of Thomasville. Thomas then built his own depot and a general store along the tracks, and the area became known as Thomas’ Depot before it was called Thomasville. The first train passed through Thomasville on Jan. 20, 1856, and by 1860 Thom-

asville was a thriving city with 308 residents, a female seminary — constructed by Thomas — and a shoe factory. The depot now standing on Main Street was first built in 1870 on the opposite side of the railroad tracks as a passenger depot. In 1912, the building was moved to the side of the tracks on which the building currently stands, and served as a baggage and freight warehouse. A major stop on the North Carolina railroad, the Thomasville Depot sent soldiers

off to war and shipped furniture all across the country. During the Civil War in 1864, Gen. James Longstreet’s corps rode through the Chair City on the railroad to join Gen. Lee’s army in Virginia. The depot eventually fell out of use when Thomasville ceased to be a railroad stop and was restored between 1975 and 1977 by the Thomasville Historical Society. In 1981, the building was added to the National Register of Historical Places as one of

Unemployment in North Carolina dropped to its lowest rate in a year last month. According to statistics released by the Employment Commission of North Carolina, statewide unemployment fell to 10.8 percent in April, marking the second consecutive month the number has decreased. The unemployment rate has fallen nearly a half a percent since reaching an all-time high of 11.2 percent in February, and is at its lowest mark since last April’s 10.7 percent. The number of people employed across North Carolina went up by more 22,000 workers in April while the number of unemployed decreased by 16,516. “There is some good news in the April data,” ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said. “North Carolina gained jobs for the second consecutive month, however, we have seen some variation in the sectors experiencing growth. While overall job growth is up and the unemployment rate is slightly lower, we

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Prom night is a special time for high school students. For some, the evening signals the end of their high school career while others look forward to inching that much closer to graduation. On the eve of Senior Prom Friday, East Davidson High School invited guests from Thomasville Police Department and the High PointThomasville Association of Insurance Women to ensure students not only have a fun prom night but a safe one by allowing them to experience first-hand the effects of drinking and driving. “We’re trying to hit hard how dangerous driving and doing anything is, even answering the phone,” EDHS Principal Cathi Smith said. “Students think they’re invincible and that it can’t happen to them. This is a real important part of our Prom

activities.” Students strapped on fatal vision goggles and attempted to manipulate around a coned obstacle course, simulating the affects alcohol has on one’s judgment. Some students did fairly well while others struggled mightily, running over cones or missing turns all together. “It was good to drive like that so you can learn not to do it,” said junior Zach Walker. “I didn’t think it would be that hard, but it’s pretty hard.” Spanish teacher Shannon Jones made contact with just about every cone on the course, but found the experience valuable — and a bit embarrassing. “It’s a lot harder than it looked,” Jones said. “Everything looked very wavy and it was really hard to see where you were going and where to turn. Everything seemed to overlap. It will hopefully show them what could hap-

Animal crackers in my pancakes

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

Remember when you were five and everything was possible.You lived in a world of dreams and you were full of excitement with many questions about the world in which you lived? There were lions, and tigers, and bears in your back yard. Your bed had to be checked nightly just in case there were monsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under there. Going to the ocean for the first time and looking at all the waves rushing to the shore. wondering what made that do that? Remembering the loving words of your Mom and Dad and Grandparents trying to explain the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? of this, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? of that. I have lots of fond memories. Stroll with me down memory lane this morning and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be young again or at least, young at heart! A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons ,Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3. The boys, being like boys, began to argue over which one would get the first pancake. Their mother thought this would be a great opportunity for a moral lesson for each child. The mother said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Jesus were sitting here right now, He would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let my

brother have the first pancake. I can wait.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Kevin, with a big smile on his face, lifted his eyebrows, thought for a minute, turned to his younger brother Ryan, pointing his finger and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Ryan my brother, you be Jesus!â&#x20AC;? By this time Mom had had enough of Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin, you are going to think Jesus, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t behave this morning!â&#x20AC;? A father was at the beach with his children when his 4-year-old son Sam ran up to him, grabbed his hand and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddy, What happened to him?â&#x20AC;? Sam asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He died and went to Heaven,â&#x20AC;? the dad replied. Sam thought for a moment and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did God throw him back down?â&#x20AC;? Dad had to think fast so he picked the dead bird up and threw it into the ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why did you do that?â&#x20AC;? asked Sam. Dad repliedd, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sending him to heaven by a big shipâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ A mother was teaching her 3-year-old, Sally, The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, Sally repeated it after the mother. Then one night Sally was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride to the carefully enunciated words, right up to the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And lead us not into temptation, but, but, but, deliver us some mail, for thine is the kingdom and power and the glory forever, and forever, Amen. God, even better, we live on a earth with lots of ( techno-golly). We have a computer, you could just email us. Amen,

again, and good night.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Six-year-old Abby and her 4-year-old brother, Jeff, were sitting together in church. Jeff giggled, sang, and talked out loud and was squirming all around. Finally, his big sister Abby had enough. Abby got right in Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to talk out loud in church. Do you hear me?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;? replied Jeff ? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to stop me?â&#x20AC;? And he proceeded to stick his tongue out at his big sister. Abby was furious. I mean really mad. Abby pointed to the back of the church and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see those big guys back there standing at the door?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? replied Jeff. Abby, looked seriously into Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are Hushers! Now hush or the HUSHERS are coming to get you.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ A father was reading Bible stories to Adam his youngest son. He read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.â&#x20AC;? Adam looked seriously at his father and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened to the flea. And Dad if it rainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the wife she will melt and go all over the ground.â&#x20AC;? The dad thinking very quickly said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well Adam, I guess the flea jumped on a nearby dog or cat, and the wife would look like the wicked witch of the West and melt, like from the movie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Oz!â&#x20AC;? Adam replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ch ya dad.â&#x20AC;? Guest Columnist Bill Hill can be reached at Billyunclebill@aol.com.

YARD OF THE WEEK

The Thomasville City Beautification Committee has named the yard of Michael and Shfreda Drake of 307 West Guilford Street in Thomasville as Yard of the Week for the week of May 15-22. To qualify for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yard of the Week,â&#x20AC;?the nominee can be either a renter or homeowner as long as they are responsible for the planting and maintenance of the yard nominated. Yards being planted and maintained by a professional landscaper are exempt.

May lawn and garden tips BY SCOTT WELBORN Master Gardener Prepare for Dry Weather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prepare plants now for dry weather. Conserve moisture and control weeds by using a 2-3â&#x20AC;? layer of pine straw, wood chips or pine bark. Also water deeply and infrequently to encourage a deep root system. Weeding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Control weeds prior to planting vegetables and flowers. Round Up and Finale are common weed killers that can be used. Keep ahead of weeds during the growing season by simply hoeing frequently in the top inch of soil to prevent new seeds from germinating. Poison Ivy can be eliminated with multiple sprays of Roundup or a product containing 2-4d which is a broad leaf weed killer. Do not apply herbicides on a windy day to prevent injury to desirable plants. Spring Bulbs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do NOT cut back spring bulb foliage until it turns yellow and brown. Bedding Plants - Frostsensitive bedding plants can be safely planted in May. Make sure to tease out the roots of the plants to prevent circling roots. Clumps of Cannas should be divided every three or four years to encourage flowering. Set root sections 5-6â&#x20AC;? deep, 15â&#x20AC;? apart. Watch plants carefully for evidence of aphids and spray as needed.

(Insecticidal soap, horticultural oil, or chemicals are available). These aphids are responsible for the black sooty mold often seen on Crapemyrtles later in the season. If powdery mildew occurs, apply sulfur based fungicides. You can prune your rhododendron/azaleas after they finish flowering. Be sure to spray your azaleas with Malathion to kill lace bugs which will turn the leaves a grey color. Aphids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Aphids vary in color from green, black, brown, red, pink, etc. They are soft bodied insects. They suck sap from their needlelike mouthparts from buds, leaves, twigs and developing fruit. Leaves may be stunted and distorted and fruit may become misshapen. They can be found along stems or on the underside of a leaf. One of the Aphidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural predators is the lady bug. Non chemical removal of these pests includes washing them off the plant with a steady stream of water or spraying soapy water on the leaves. Repeat again in 3-4 days to catch any survivors. Chemical removal includes spraying insecticidal soap, pyrethrins or Malathion. Hummingbirds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to hang up hummingbird feeders. Any feeder can attract hummingbirds, so the most important design feature to look for is ease of

disassembly and cleaning. Hummingbirds get the energy they need to maintain their astonishing metabolism primarily from flower nectar and the sugar water they find at feeders. For protein and other nutrients, they also eat soft-bodied insects and spiders. The sugar water we use to fill hummingbird feeders is only a supplement to the birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; natural diet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessary to but a commercial â&#x20AC;&#x153;nectarâ&#x20AC;? mix that includes additional vitamins, protein, or other substances, because the birds get all they need from the flower nectar and insects they consume. Do not put honey, Jell-O, brown sugar, fruit, or red food coloring in your feeder! You can plant wing seeds now: beans, cantaloupe, corn (sweet), cucumbers, lima beans, okra, southern peas, pumpkins, squash, Swiss chard, watermelons. (basically all frost sensitive crops need to go in the ground now) You can set out the following vegetable plants this month: eggplant, pepper, and tomato. May is a great month to enjoy the garden. Harvest those spring crops and plant the summer ones.

Leave them tubes alone VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist As there is no real problem with the Internet, it’s not surprising that some of our top minds have been working diligently on a solution. In a 2001 interview (one that only recently has gone viral and caused a brouhaha), Cass Sunstein, now the nation’s regulatory czar, is overheard advocating for government to insist all websites offer opposing viewpoints — or, in other words, a “Fairness” Doctrine for the Web. This was necessary because, as hundreds of millions of Internet users can attest, ferreting out competing perspectives online is all but impossible. (A search for “Cass Sunstein” on Google, for instance, barely generated 303,000 results in 0.19 seconds.) And what if websites refused to acquiesce to this intrusion on free speech? “If we could get voluntary arrangements in that direction, it would be great,” Sunstein said at the time, “and if we can’t get voluntary arrangements, maybe Congress should hold hearings about mandates.” After all, Sunstein went on to say, “the word ‘voluntary’ is a little complicated. And sometimes people don’t do what’s best for our society.” Mandates, he said, were the “ultimate weapon designed to encourage people to do better.” Actually, the word “voluntary” isn’t complicated at all. And mandates do not “encourage” people to do better; mandates “force” people to do what those writing regulations happen to think is better. We’re intimately familiar with the distinction. In truth, I’ve enjoyed many of Sunstein’s counterintuitive arguments and read his idealistic notions about “nudging” (and sometimes a bit more, apparently; I guess it’s complicated) irrational people into “rational” choices.

Sunstein is an intellectual who thinks aloud. Obviously, that can come back to cause you some problems. Then again, would an impulsive intellectual who wondered aloud about coercing universities to offer more right-wing professors — or who casually entertained the idea of dispensing with the First Amendment — be tasked with the job of overseeing the health of the nation’s entire regulatory system, which holds so many real-world consequences? Doubtful. Sunstein, it must be noted, later backed off his dictatorial approach to dealing with the non-crisis of our narrow online reading habits by claiming that the Internet is “too difficult to regulate in a way that would respond to these concerns.” In other words, he concluded that the Internet is too complex to allow for the types of regulatory intrusions we insist on in other areas of everyday life. Others have not backed off, though. The Federal Communications Commission has been working diligently to find a way to act on the same control impulses that Sunstein had in mind, with something called “net neutrality.” I know it sounds wonderfully fair. But the reality of net neutrality makes as much sense as mandating that tricycle riders have the same rights and privileges as cars and trucks on our roads — highway neutrality. The FCC promises it doesn’t have any intention of controlling Internet content, only of making access fair. But empowered with the ability to regulate the flow of online traffic, it offers a semantic, not substantive, excuse for a power grab. Like Sunstein, the FCC should acknowledge that the complexities of the Internet are beyond the ability of control. Not to mention unnecessary.

Events offer much to celebrate BY LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Has our society become so busy, lackadaisical, apathetic, careless, relaxed, half-hearted, laid back, easy going that we don’t bother to use two one syllable words, “Thank You?” What has happened to common courtesy? Once a month, Gayle and I go downtown to pay a couple of monthly bills. She pays her health care insurance at one location while I walk to another to pay a monthly bill. I enter the business, walk to the counter and drop my envelope, check enclosed, in a box placed there for that purpose. Four to five employees are seated there behind the counter. No one acknowledges my presence, comes to the counter or says, “Thank you,” as I turn to leave the office. So, in their absence of a “Thank you”, I sarcastically say, “Thank you” as I leave the office. Apparently, they haven’t caught on to my sarcasm yet or, maybe they don’t care! ••• In my last column, I was on a roll about the lack of a Thomasville restaurant that serves a meat and vegetables on Sunday. I stand corrected; The Thomasville Woman’s Club building houses Carolina Cuisine Catering. They serve lunch from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday. Also, one of those old downtown buildings I had complained about, the old McClellan’s 5 & 10, is sporting“a new paint job. Thanks! ••• Thomasville Medical Center is celebrating 80 years of providing remarkable medical care. An invitation has been issued for you to join them on Saturday, June 12 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. for a day of free food, giveaways and fun as they celebrate their 80th Birthday. Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Thomasville Medical Center, Happy Birthday to You! ••• The dates and times for Sunset Sounds are just around the corner. If you are not familiar with Sunset Sounds, it is quality musical

entertainment sponsored by the Arts Council of Davidson County and held at the Bandstand in downtown Thomasville. The Tom Holladay Orchestra leads off this year’s entertainers. So, put these dates on your calendar, pack your lawn chairs in the trunk of your car and come-on-down. It’s great entertainment! • Thursday, July 1 7-9 p.m. The Tom Holladay Orchestra featuring The Lamplighters • Thursday, July 8, 7-9 p.m. New Wine - Southern Gospel • Thursday, July 15, 7-9 p.m. - Scott Huffman and friends Thursday, July 22, 7-9 p.m. - The Gianinni Brass - Classic Brass Sextet • Thursday July 29, 7-9 p.m. - Ken Davis and friends. ••• Remember the Memorial Program at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on I-85 South and the Memorial Day Parade and activities downtown and in Veterans Memorial Park on Monday, May 31. A giant of a man passed away yesterday, B.D. (Bennie Hicks), retired police captain, had been ill for several months. On Nov. 1, 1958, I joined the Thomasville Police Department as a patrol officer. Chief Paul Shore assigned Officer Bennie Hicks as my Training Officer. Bennie was a “giant of a man.” He could be tough when he had to but also he could be a man of compassion. I have seen him in both situations. I treasured his dedication to the Thomasville Police Department and his personal friendship. God rest his soul! ••• What better way to close this week’s column than with this story. Billy Graham is now 90 years old with Parkinson’s disease. In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte invited their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honor. Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because of his struggles with Parkinson’s disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, “We don’t expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you.” So Billy agreed. After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the ros-

trum, looked at the crowd, and said, “I’m reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honored by Time magazine as the Man of the Century. Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn’t find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn’t there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn’t find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn’t find it. The conductor said, “Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I’m sure you bought a ticket. Don’t worry about it.” Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor then continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket. The conductor rushed back and said, “Dr. Einstein, don’t worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don’t need a ticket. I’m sure you bought one.” Einstein looked at him and said, “Young man, I too know who I am. What I don’t know is where I’m going.” Having said that, Billy Graham continued: “See the suit I’m wearing? It’s a brand new suit. My children and my grandchildren are telling me I’ve gotten a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more fastidious. So I went out and bought a new suit for this luncheon and one more occasion. You know what that occasion is? This is the suit in which I’ll be buried, but when you hear I’m dead, I don’t want you to remember the suit I’m wearing. What I want you to remember is this: “I not only know who I am. I also know where I’m going.” ••• Thanks and remember our veterans on Memorial Day! Guest Columnist Larry Murdock can be reached at larry.murdick@hotmail.com.

A6 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, May 22, 2010

DEPOT From page A1 the oldest — if not the oldest — depot in North Carolina. Even though it no longer serves its original purpose, the depot doesn’t stand empty. In 2000, the old railway building was converted into the Thomasville Visitor’s Center and contains books, pictures and artifacts from Thomasville’s history. But it hasn’t lost its ties to the past. “Today’s it’s being used not only as a visitor’s center but as a starting

FROM PAGE A1 point for the Civil War trails and the walking trails through Thomasville,” Scott said. “I think what it kind of stands for is how we’re trying to roll with the changing of the times and the changing industries.” That symbolism attached to the depot forms a major part of why the Chair City spent so much time and effort to restore a building that wasn’t being used, termites not withstanding. “It has a lot of meaning to the town,” Mayor Joe Bennett said. “The railroad is really what has made the city of Thomasville where it is.”

OBITUARIES

THE RED CABOOSE As cabooses were being phased out in the 1980s, the City of Thomasville decided to get one. The Norfolk Southern Corporation donated Southern Railway Caboose X703 to the City after it was retired. The caboose was delivered to City Fuel and Ice in October of 1986. Soon afterward, it was moved down the street on special dollies to its current location next to the Visitors’ Center.

SENIORS From page A5 a large percentage of driving-related fatalities involve young drivers who were drinking. “What it does is allow students to be exposed to drinking and driving in a controlled environment,” said Grove. “It gives them an idea of just how unprepared they are. Sometimes kids think they can do a lot more than they can. An accident involving children in any sense is bad enough, but when it involves a child that has been drinking makes it that much worse.” In addition to the driving and sobriety tests, students also wore goggles that simulated the affects of tunnel vision. Volunteers tossed bean bags at students as they walked, but few were able to make the catch. Smith said students also will watch a film about drinking and driving and will sign a pledge to not consume alcohol tonight. “We’ve already had two wrecks this semester any-

We have a heart-to-heart and we show a video that shows an actual situation where one student gets killed and others are injured. We’re also going to talk about texting while they’re driving. It’s not just alcohol anymore.”

RATE From page A1 still face challenges in this tough economy. We will still be working, as always, with customers across the state in numerous ways to provide benefits and job search help.” The largest job sector employment increase came in professional and business services and government, as each gained 6,300 and 6,000 jobs, respectively. ESC spokesperson Larry Parker said much of the government jobs were primarily for the Census, and that decreases in retail trade and leisure employment is concerning when it comes to the state recover-

JOBS From page A1 Jobs will range from manufacturing, distribution and the customer service call center. Both the Lexington City Council and the Davidson County Board of Commissioners have already approved an incentive package for the company, which first opened in the Lexington Business Center. The project also is made possible in part by a $450,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. The expansion will add 115,000 square feet onto an already 112,000square-foot building and will allow the company to add manufacturing and warehouse operations, increasing distribution capabilities to meet a growing demand. The expansions should be completed this fall, said

Fran Brown, safety chairman with the High Point-Thomasville Association of Insurance Women, has been holding the program at EDHS for years, and said that if the demonstrations save one life, it’s worth it. “It’s very important,” said Brown. “I think we’ve made an impact

ing from the recession. “There’s a large number of people who became employed in April and that’s a good thing,” said Parker. “One of the things we’re cautious about is when looking for a trend we’ve had different job sectors experience gains the last couple of months. Some were down this month but up last month, and vice versa. We don’t have that consistency in some of the job sectors right now.” Parker noted that North Carolina has seen job growth in three of the last four months heading into summer, where the unemployment rate may jump as high school and college students enter the labor force. Retail trade is expected to do well this time of year, but the job sector

company Chief Executive Officer Ira Kerker. The bigger space will also allow Vitacost.com to begin producing soft gel supplements, such as fish oil. “They’re just virtually on top of each other now,” said Lexington City Manager John Gray. “They must be doing booming business. They had stacks and stacks of inventory. They’re business must be good — I would think with this day in time with people having more concern about their health.” And the online company certainly does seem to be doing well for itself. Kerker said that the company had grown from a $66 million revenue in 2006 to $191 million revenue in 2009, when the company became publicly traded. The CEO thinks the growth will continue, increasing 15 to 30 percent in the next five years be-

was down in April, as well as leisure and hospitality. “We hope that next month those two turn around,” Parker said. “There was an increase in temporary help, and when companies are hiring temp help that means they’re trying to get work done, and that’s a positive. Some of those may turn into full-time positions.” There are currently 491,467 people actively looking for work in the state, and employment since last April is down by 1,819 workers. North Carolina’s unemployment rate is still above the national rate of 9.9 percent. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

cause of the company’s primarily online distribution and the product’s appeal to the baby boomer population. Vitacost.com’s natural supplements are also a growing trend, Kerker said. “We are pleased Vitacost has the opportunity to expand its operations in Davidson County where we have been since 2008,’ said Kerker in a press release. “We look forward to working with our employees and the community to meet the demands of Vitacost’s growing healthy living and wellness customer base.” Both Walser and Gray say a main motivation for the company’s expansion in Davidson County stems from the talent of the area’s workforce. “Many of these companies that have been coming here know that we have a workforce sit-

ting out there that knows how to do things — that we have good work ethic, that we have good skills,” Walser said. “It’s a place that’s poised to take off.” And with a 13 percent unemployment rate in the county, the number of jobs Vitacost.com proposes certainly makes the future look brighter. “We have a lot of good folks in this community that are skilled and can do a lot of different jobs,” Gray said. “In the end that was a contributing factor for why they decided to invest further. It speaks well of the business climate here, but just as important I think it speaks well to the type of good employees.” For information about job opportunities at Vitacost.com, e-mail greatcareers@vitacost.com, or contact the Vitacost.com human resources department at 130 Lexington Parkway, in Lexington.

RELIGION

We serve a good, compassionate God KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Syndicated Columnist

We are quickly approaching the end of the school year and I have to confess that I am tired and ready for it to end. I feel pressed to get papers graded and get paperwork off my desk. We still have some curriculum to squeeze into these students’ brains, which are shutting down for the summer. We still have a number of things to finish up and it is really beginning to feel like crunch time.

When I get to feeling this tired physically and emotionally I have to admit that I feel drained spiritually too. I still read my Bible and I still pray, but the passion level has dropped. This is nothing new; it generally happens toward the end of the school year. Thoughts of the beach, reading a good book, and catching up with good friends are the life preservers that help me make it to the end of the school year. Last Sunday I received a very unexpected life preserver. For various reasons I decided to visit a church that I had heard good things about from some friends. I was curious about their service and why I was hearing such good reports about this church. I arrived with an open mind and heart and actually a little excited about having the opportunity to

attend the service. When the music cranked up and the service began I began to sense the presence of the Lord. I pressed in because I was so hungry to be touched and refreshed by God. Sometime in the middle of the worship I felt the presence of the Lord in a profound way. I felt like we were standing on the edge of a lake with an open invitation to jump in. In my spirit I felt myself jump in and as I did my soul was washed in His peace. I felt the joy of the Lord penetrating my heart and deep within I felt refreshed in a way that I haven’t in quite a while. It was a beautiful gift from God, from the goodness of His heart. Why do we doubt the goodness of God? Some people believe that the God of the Old Testament is harsh. I think we need to read deeper

Synder Family to perform at Memorial United Methodist Church TIMES STAFF REPORT

Memorial United Methodist Church presents in concert the well-known Snyder Family Band today at 7 p.m. in the Christian Enrichment Center. The event will feature award-winning instrumentalists Samantha and Zeb Snyder. Music is a big part of life for this North Carolina family as Samantha, 11, and Zeb, a14, have excelled in their individual instruments and the art of entertaining. As the two youngsters began to perform more often as a duo, their music interest turned toward Bluegrass. While Samantha plays fiddle and Zeb the guitar, there seemed to be something missing. So, Dad was surprised by an upright bass on his birthday and it was only a matter of time before Bud would join them on stage. The Snyder’s show in-

and between the lines to understand God’s true character. Time and time again the people rebelled against God and worshipped idols. God didn’t give up on the people. He kept sending prophets or allowing foreign kings to oppress the people so they would return to the Lord in faith. When they repented, He was always there to rescue them. If you really think about it, God is very loving, compassionate, and long-suffering even in the Old Testament. God is good and He blessed His people far beyond what they could imagine. He gave them the riches of Egypt and the Promised Land. The road of faith is never easy because God wants to challenge us to grow and mature, but that does not diminish His goodness and mercy. Jesus taught us about God’s love through many

Pastors face many problems BY CLYDE DUPIN Guest Columnist

In many churches the pagan culture has become more powerful than the Gospel. According to some, religion has become deformed. It is unhealthy, unattractive, unfulfilling and without purpose. The modern culture may call for relativism, watered down spirituality, and seeker sensitivity to spur church growth. People pick and choose what they want from the Bible. Many pastors are torn between the desire to please the culture or preach the Word. The preacher must never forget that the Gospel truth is above pop psychology and a desire to please all the people. There are some things the pastor must not do. He must never lose sense of community. He must never depart from the authority of the scripture. He must never

change the message of the church. In 50 years of ministry, I have counseled thousands of pastors. The expectations placed on them are often unfair and unattainable. Most of them are good, sincere men and women who feel a call from God. They begin with a clear vision and great dreams. They know that 60 percent of all churches in America have less than 100 in attendance. They think their church will be different. Pastors attend all the conferences, spend their church money and get lost in a fog of confusion. They must defeat the pagan culture, persuade people to see the culture from the standpoint of the Gospel and follow God. When a pastor has a servant’s heart and a real commitment to unconditionally doing God’s will he will not end up with pastor burnout or become a pastor dropout. Pastors need support and encouragement from those in the pew.

of His parables, then He laid down His life to demonstrate His love and goodness toward us. I believe that God wants us to experience His love and goodness. The problem is we doubt His love for us and feel unworthy of His goodness and blessings. God wants to give us good gifts but we won’t open the package and receive them. We need to understand that Jesus paid the price for all the things we have and will do wrong, so we can be in God’s presence and receive God’s goodness and love. We serve a God who expects us to grow, mature, and raise the standards in our lives, but we also serve a God who loves us beyond what we can image and who desires to bless us with His goodness. I want to encourage you to believe that God loves you and that He is

Post 87 poised for great season BY STEVE HANF HPE

CALENDAR TUESDAY LEGION

Post 87 @ Prohlific Power 7 p.m.

The American Legion Baseball Post 87 squad tasted unprecedented success last summer. A crushing end to the Junior HiToms’ season left the players hungry for more. “We have guys back on the team from last year and we were very successful last year,” Post 87 coach Rob Shore said. “It was a very tough way to end our season — one game away from the state championship series — and some of the guys are really eager to

get back in that position.” Shore’s team actually led Mooresville two games to none before dropping three straight in the best-of-five Area IV quarterfinal series. Both semifinalists advance to the state finale. Mooresville went on to finish third overall. That came as small consolation to Post 87, which finished at 25-12 overall. The Junior HiToms figure to contend once again with an impressive array of pitchers and some new talent in the lineup. Several of the top returning players lead the pitching staff. Former High Point Chris-

tian Academy standout Conner Scarborough is finishing up his freshman year throwing for Gardner-Webb. The right-hander figures to be Post 87’s most experienced arm. Charlotte-bound Brock Hudgens, from Southwest Guilford, is another top-flight pitcher, with former Ragsdale standout David Coffey back from college after a year as a student at North Carolina. High Point Christian’s Andrew Barnett also returns as a key starter. Among the newcomers to the Legion team

NCHSAA 2-A SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS

East struggles in late innings

CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist

BY ZACH KEPLEY

Pit crew members are ‘roll’ models

Sports Editor East Davidson began to see its hopes of continuing this season slip away in the latter innings in the second round of the NCHSAA 2-A state playoffs Friday night. The Lady Golden Eagles and Cuthbertson were tied after four innings, but two runs in the sixth and four more in the seventh gave the visitors a 10-4 lead. The game was still not over as of press time with the Cavaliers still leading 104 in the seventh. Visit www.tvilletimes. com for a complete game story. The first inning played out almost exactly the same as it did on Tuesday for the Lady Eagles. Cuthbertson came out ripping the ball against East starter Spencer Embler, accumulating two runs to start the game. In the bottom half of the inning, East got the runs right back with a two-out rally after Paige Byrd reached by getting hit by a pitch. Byrd went station to station, coming home on a steal of second by Morgan Gallimore. Kaley Key made sure Gallimore got home ripping a single to tie the game. The score stayed knotted until the bottom

Last year, the top story that came out of the NASCAR Sprint Pit Crew Challenge presented by Craftsman, one of the most popular events leading up to the annual Sprint All Star Race, was written by Marty Smith of ESPN. Smith’s account of Jack Kerr, who won $10,000 in the individual jack man category of competition, then donated his winnings to the family of a critically injured 4-year-old boy, reignited the spirit of selflessness and compassion in its readers, inspiring similar acts of generosity from many of them. By comparison, this year’s most visible story seems to be the fact that Denny Hamlin’s girlfriend piloted his No. 11 Toyota to the Pit Crew Challenge in his stead, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan, “All We Do Is Win.” Not quite as heartwarming, perhaps, but that’s OK. It was inspirational enough for the crew, and ultimately proved prophetic, as well, as the No. 11 team earned the victory and the $70,000 cash prize that comes with it. The Pit Crew Challenge is a fun event, and an important one, serving as a great way to drive home a point we sometimes seem to forget, no matter how many races we watch — truly, NASCAR is a team sport. Every team member has a specific task to perform, and they all work together to create a community that is functional,

Gallimore reached on a fielder’s choice, then moved to second on a Caroline Fowler single. Key delivered the big hit again, slapping a single to center for a 3-2 Golden Eagle lead. It was short-lived, with the Cavaliers charging right back with a twospot in the fourth. Singles by Paige Barnes and Amber Hurst were followed by an RBI groundout by Lauren Gruber and RBI

single by Kinny Davis. Staying poised and upbeat, the resilient Eagles brought the offense once again, tallying the tying run in the home half. Summer Pope reached via a fielder’s choice and was replaced by courtesy runner Jessica Esquivel. The speedy Esquivel stole second, then rounded the remaining bases on a single by Natalie Naturile to get the equalizer. A fairly silent fifth inning by both teams set up the sixth, where the Cavaliers would make a

serious stand and take control. Megan Recher singled to start the frame, bringing No. 9 hitter Gruber to the dish. She smacked a ball to center that dove quickly on Kaley Key. The ball scooted under her glove, as Recher raced all the way around to score and Gruber pulled up at second. Gruber would later score on a wild pitch by Embler, pushing the Cavalier lead to 6-4. Zach Kepley can be reached at 888-3631.

Fishing patterns or something else? OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist We drove down the beach looking for deep water — two trucks and four anglers. I was looking for the characteristics of a good surf fishing hole to catch a drum, steep sloping beach, humps to generate a rip and a break in the outer bar. I spotted the perfect slough and we piled out of the truck. I rigged up, baited up, and made a cast. Before another line got in the water, I had a serious fish on the line. The others in the group saw what was happening and were getting lines out within a minute of my hookup. Instantly, they too had fish on. My fish came in first, a six-pound puppy drum, considered a prize catch for almost anyone. As I put my fish in the cooler, I was congratulating myself on choosing the perfect drum fishing spot. I knew we were

going to be in the drum big time this morning. As the other fish came in, they weren’t drum, they were bluefish and each two-hook rig had two fish. We had a great morning catching blues, but my first fish was the only drum we caught. A good fishing spot, but I hadn’t picked the drum hole, I’d picked a bluefish hole. Fish don’t always behave the way you want them to. They’re strange organisms, sometimes acting totally as individuals and sometimes seeming to all be thinking the same thing at the same time. My philosophy on fishing is to fish for what’s biting and enjoy it while it’s happening. I’ve written this many times but a few years ago at the Oak Hollow Youth Fishing Derby, Tacota Waden, a young man about six years old, landed a six pound bass on a piece of McDonalds sausage. I’m sure that any tournament bass fisherman would have scoffed at the idea of fishing for bass, or any other fish, with sausage from a breakfast biscuit, but the bass in question didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to like sausage. I’m amused when other anglers tell stories about how they fished a frog green Jitterbug all morning and decided to

switch to a lime green Jitterbug and the decision instantly produced fish. It’s just human nature to pat ourselves on the back for wisdom when we just get lucky. The problem with that statement is that the best fishermen almost always catch more fish. I think the reason is that they work harder at fishing than the duffers and you can’t argue with success. Trout fishermen, especially dry fly fishermen, are the most scientific of the anglers I meet with hardcore bass fishermen coming in a close second. Trout anglers will scoop up gravel off the bottom to find which insects are about to emerge and plan their fishing day accordingly. Some will carry a small vise and tie flies alongside the river to match exactly what’s flying over the stream. They use tippets or leaders as fine as human hair and some flies are tied to hooks so small you can hardly see them. All this behavior would subject them to ridicule to less precise anglers except for one thing — the really serious guys catch way more fish than those who aren’t so serious. Bass anglers keep diaries covering wind conditions, moon phases, water clarity and temperature, and plan

trips based on where, how deep, and what colors worked in getting fish. They will pay $20 for a single lure and often carry three tacklebags to the boat so they are prepared for prevailing conditions. I would write stories about how silly they are for going to all this trouble when a six-year old can catch a nice largemouth on a piece of sausage except for one thing, those guys catch way more bass on a Saturday morning than I could in a week. There’s an old saying that 20 percent of the anglers catch 80 percent of the fish. I would argue that one. I think it’s more like 10 percent catching 90 percent. A few years ago, I fished beside of a serious surf fisherman. I caught one big drum that night, he caught nine. We used the same bait, the same line, and he told me where to cast. He still outfished me nine to one. Howard Cator is a local at Hatteras. With a dark brown tan, a beard, and a fisherman’s hat, he looks like a serious waterman and he is. I was on the beach one afternoon and Howard pulled up and parked beside me. It was a calm, clear spring day and nothing except a few small blues had been caught all

PATTERNS From page B2 day. I assumed Howard was out on the beach just to get a little air. Since I’d witnessed him catching so many citation drum, I joked and told him he wasn’t likely to catch a drum today with these conditions. He gave me a level gaze and said, “I come out here every day and catch a drum before I go home. I’m going to catch one today.” I’m sure Howard was ribbing me a little, but within 15 minutes and on his first cast, he hooked into a citation drum. He landed the fish, released it, packed

Anderson will play for South Carolina next year – depending on how things go with the major league draft this summer — and Fultz is headed to East Carolina’s strong program. Their decision to patrol the outfield at Finch Field this summer is huge, Shore said. “One of the tough things is that we’re battling showcase and other types of travel ball,” the coach explained. “Last year we were able to get a lot of players we weren’t able to get in the past, and the quality of players we’re able to get back out this year is the same. The more successful you are — the more consistent you are being successful — kids are going to hear about it and want to play for that program.” Shore added that another plus is the support he gets from Thomasville HiToms president Greg Suire, who is always quick to welcome former Post 87 standouts back for the summer college circuit. Ledford’s Murray White IV and Trinity’s Matt Dillon are two former Legion stars who will play for the Coastal Plain League’s HiToms this year.

up, and left the beach. OK, so is the science of fishing what gets these guys on fish when no one else is catching anything? I believe it helps, but the main factor is their undying dedication. Serious anglers leave little to chance, they re-spool reels more often, tie better knots, use the best equipment, know where to find the best bait, know how to match conditions to where the fish and what they use. They spend more time researching locations, and finally, they have a highly developed sense of what works. So where does this all leave those of us who approach fishing as a way to pass a little

time or those who take it seriously but don’t really apply themselves? I guess we’re bound to stumble into an occasional good day from time to time. Maybe on those days when I can’t get a bite, I should try a little sausage.

Shore, who coaches Trinity High School, will see other familiar faces coming up from the junior Legion program. That group includes Houston Ison of High Point Central, Aaron Blackman of South Davidson and Justin Morrison of High Point Christian. Ragsdale will provide a few more new faces in Tyler Southcott and Kyle Morrison, with other HPCA players Taylor Bergsma and Joseph Powell also joining the group. Former Cougar Huston Harrington — now at Greensboro Day — is out this year, along with Southwest Guilford star Cal Sutphin and Ledford’s Victor Zecca. “Like any Legion program, you’ve got kids from all over who kind of know each other and have heard of each other, but they haven’t really played together,” said Shore, who will be assisted this season by Trinity softball coach David House — a former East Davidson baseball standout. “We have a good group of guys who can mesh together. “I feel great about our pitching and I feel like we can be very dominant at the top of the lineup,” Shore continued. “We just need to find some key guys to fill into the lineup, and I like that. That creates competition, makes everybody work harder.” With just a little more hard work, perhaps Post 87 can clear that final hurdle into the state tournament.

Junior Football Combine coming to Proehliﬁc Park TIMES STAFF REPORT GREENSBORO — Do you have what it takes to take your game to the next level? Find out on June 5 as Junior Rank football scouts come to Proehlific Park in search of America’s next generation of 6th-9th grade student athletes and potential participants in the 2011 Junior Rank Diamond Bowl. “We are very excited to be visiting Greensboro on our national combine tour and look forward to identifying some upand-coming talent for the 2011 Diamond Bowl and beyond,” said Shaon Berry, founder and CEO of Junior Rank. “In addition to myself, our scouts include Randy Taylor from NCSA (National Collegiate Scouting Association) and Tom Lemming, who you may remember from the movie ‘The Blind Side’, who is the author of the most widely read college scouting report, the Lemming Report. The only way to get to the Diamond Bowl is to get evaluated and identified and we’re doing that in Greensboro on June 5th.” The cost for the combine is $99 and will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Combine athletes will be evaluated on the their performance in the 40 yard dash, vertical jump and agility shuttle. Position-specific instruction from current and former college and NFL players and coaches will also be part of the day’s events. All participants will have a profile on the Junior Rank website as well as a videotaped 40-yard dash. A top performer

from each age group will receive MVP recognition with a special feature on JuniorRank.com and a potential spot on the 2011 Diamond Bowl team. Berry, a respected youth football coach and former University of Pittsburgh running back, is quick to add that Junior Rank and its combines are about more than just football. “The first thing I tell these young men when they walk out onto the football field is that they need to have character,” Berry said. “Colleges and universities are hungry for academically sound leaders who show integrity in any and all situations. Consider what you do, what you say, what you put online because if you do want to play at the next level somebody is watching how you handle yourself right now.” “We use a 5-Diamond Methodology (patent pending) when evaluating our athletes,” Berry said. “All these athletes are in training — diamonds in the rough if you will — and so we evaluate them as such. However, a 5-Diamond athlete must not only have an exceptional physical skill set he must confirm good academic standing to achieve 5-Diamond status.” The Proehlific Park Sports Complex is at 4517 Jessup Grove Road in Greensboro. Contact Proehlific Park at 665-5233 for directions or facility information. Space is limited and athletes can register today by visiting www.juniorrank.com.

MAKING THE RIGHT MOVE East Davidson’s David Lackley battles it out with Randleman’s Cliff Thompson on the mat in a match held at the home of the Golden Eagles. FILE PHOTO

CREW From page B1 efficient and, ideally, very fast-moving. I had a great time serving as one of the guest speakers for Career Day at a local elementary school last week. The gist of the event was this: business people from the community went to the school and talked about their jobs to seven fourth-grade classes, then answered questions from the kids. The assortment of jobs represented was pretty diverse, ranging from cosmetology to fire-fighting, although those two really might not be all that different, when you think about it. In the event of a perm gone bad, for example, a certain level of fire-fighting expertise could come in handy. There were also policemen and bankers, and then there was me. Nobody, and I include myself in that group, is quite sure how to define my job, but I gave it a valiant effort, complete with various NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver

stand-ups and a chunk of original Darlington Raceway asphalt, squirreled away from the repaving project a few years back. The day went surprisingly well. NASCAR was still top-of-mind in town, as the race weekend was only a couple of weeks in the rear view mirror, and the props really helped. Remember this the next time you’re invited to do some public speaking — bring along a few cardboard representations of superstar athletes and a big chunk of old rock, and hide behind all of them as much as you can. You’ll be golden. The most surreal moment of the day came when I opened it up for questions by asking the kids if anyone had discovered a potential career that day. Great news for the town — there is plenty of police protection and lots of great hair days in its future. Then, one young man in the back of the room raised his hand and said, “I want to be one of those guys who change the tires on Jeff Gordon’s car.” Jeff, I was pleasantly surprised

to learn, is still the driver of choice among the younger crowd. When I asked the young man how in the world he had settled on that job, he said, “It’s like, you know, totally cool. And you only have to work a few seconds at a time.” Wow. We are so accustomed to watching those guys hop over the wall, gas up a stock car, slap four tires on it and send it on its way that we have almost become desensitized to how impressive that actually is. Think about it this way. If you were to take a nice bite of your burger just as that car was pulling into its pit stall, and if you were to chew it 20 times like you’re supposed to, the car would be long gone before you even swallowed that first bite. That’s how fast they are. That’s also how wellconditioned they are. Those spectacular 13 seconds are the result of many hours of grueling physical training and absolute dedication to being the best. A pit crew becomes a winner in exactly the same way a musician gets to

Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice. It’s great to see these hard-working team members get the recognition — and for some, the nice financial bonus — they so richly deserve. Your favorite driver, whoever he may be, wouldn’t be so visible or successful, and probably wouldn’t have sold you all those hats and T-shirts bearing his car number and his likeness, without a solid pit crew protecting his back. It is important to note that these fourth-graders recognized Jimmie Johnson and Joey Logano from various commercials and things on TV, but they’ve also been watching the races, and they’ve been noticing the guys who are not behind the wheel, but behind the wall. When you’re so good at your job that you make it look easy, you also make it look fun. Kids admire you, and want to emulate you. So that aspiring rear tire changer was right about one thing. To serve as a positive role model is like, you know, totally cool.

SPORTS VICKERS From page B1

and a pulmonary embolism, and will be on blood thinners for the next six months. Limentani said it is uncommon for a 26year-old to develop blood clots, as the ailment occurs more prominently in people in their 40s. Just how Vickers came down with blood clots has yet to be determined. “It is not advisable for [Vickers] to race while he is on blood thinners,” said Limentani. “The work for this type of problem is elaborate, lengthy and involved. We have just started that work up and laboratory tests are simply not back. It will take a number of weeks before we have definitive data to try to reach conclusions, if we are able to. Sometimes the absence of data is the conclusion.” Vickers said he contemplated returning in three months, but felt coming back with less than 10 races remaining in the season and risking a reoccurrence wasn’t worth the reward. Vickers described the blood clot near his left lung as feeling like broke ribs, resulting in shortness of breath. “It was probably the most excruciating pain I’ve ever had,” Vickers said. “Out of a 100 percent lung capacity, I could probably take five breaths. My pain didn’t happen all at once, it was over a series of a couple days.” Jay Frye, general manager of Red Bull Team Racing, said initial plans are to keep Mears in the No. 83 for the foreseeable future. Mears filled in for Vickers at Dover International Speedway last weekend, finishing 22nd. “[Mears] did a great job last week in Dover, so we don’t anticipate any change,” said Frye. “With road courses coming up, maybe we do something different there, but we’re comfortable with Casey.” Vickers said he plans on keeping fit physically during his layoff and is appreciative of all the

well wishes he’s received from fans and other drivers. Vickers, who is in fourth year with Red Bull Racing, made NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup playoff last season, but was off to a slow start in 2010 with only three top-10 finishes. He was in Washington D.C. planning on visiting veterans at Walter Reed Hospital last week when his condition worsened. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

AROUND THE STATE

North Carolina’s Ten Natural Wonders named The state’s most beautiful places identified by popular vote

Land for Tomorrow, a coalition dedicated to supporting the preservation of North Carolina’s land and water resources, announced the winners of the first-ever “North Carolina’s Ten Natural Wonders Contest” yesterday. The contest is part of Land for Tomorrow’s effort to highlight past generations’ conservation successes and urge North Carolina lawmakers to continue supporting conservation in our state. In fact, several of the nominations, including many of the Natural Wonders identified, were protected with the help of North Carolina’s conservation trust funds. Participants were encouraged to nominate any landscape, natural fea-

ture, wildlife or plant life that is unique to North Carolina and should be considered among the state’s greatest natural wonders. About 1,300 nominations yielded 200 unique potential “Natural Wonders,” which were narrowed to a field of 25 semifinalists by a panel of prominent North Carolinians. From those 25, “North Carolina’s Ten Natural Wonders” were determined by popular vote. Over 3,000 individual votes were submitted. And “North Carolina’s Ten Natural Wonders” are: • Blue Ridge Parkway • Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout • Grandfather Mountain • Great Smoky Mountains • Lake Mattamuskeet • Lumber River • Merchants Millpond State Park • Mountains to Sea Trail • New River • Ocracoke Island

“North Carolina has something to offer to nature lovers of every description, and the excitement this contest generated is proof of that. We had a great time reading everyone’s arguments in favor of their favorite spots - each one is worthy of that affection, no matter how small or little-known,” said Reid Wilson, Executive Director of the Conservation Trust for North Carolina. “People who live in North Carolina and those who love to visit are passionate about protecting their favorite places and - with their support - we’ll continue to put that passion into action to safeguard these beloved natural wonders.” Visit the Land for Tomorrow Facebook page or www.landfortomorrow. org for more information on sponsors and judges, and to track the debate and view photographs from participants’ favorite natural places and things in North Carolina.

Lewis endorses Marshall in U.S. Senate race TIMES STAFF REPORT

Former U.S. Senate candidate Ken Lewis threw his full support behind Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in the runoff election to determine the Democratic nominee for U. S. Senate. Lewis was the third place finisher in the May primary. Lewis is an attorney from Chapel Hill. His outsider campaign surprised political pundits when he carried 17 percent of the vote in a six-way primary. He won

Durham and three eastern counties. He also placed second to Marshall in Charlotte and counties throughout the northeast part of the state. “I am humbled and honored to receive Ken’s support and endorsement,” said Marshall in a press release. “He brought real excitement into this race and always focused on the issues important to North Carolina. The combination of our organizations will build a powerful movement that leads us to victory in November.”

Catawba College unveiled a new scholarship to present to incoming high school valedictorians and salutatorians. Students who achieve either one of these benchmarks will receive a merit scholarship from the Office of Admissions for their consistent, high academic achievements

throughout high school. The new academic merit awards range from $1,000 to $1,500.

Lynn portrayed Thelma Lou, the long-suffering girlfriend of Deputy Barney Fife. Lynn reminisced about her adventures with Barney, Andy Taylor, Helen Crump and the rest of the Mayberry townspeople. In addition, the audience learned about Lynn’s Broadway and Hollywood film career. The 83-year-old actress is retired and currently lives in Mt.
