Davidson County Board of Commissioners adjusted the proposed 2010-11 budget Thursday morning to allow more money for economic development initiatives. The $120 million proposed budget brought for further discussion at the commissioners’ informational meeting saw little debate and revision by the board. The only revision came from a suggestion by Commissioner Larry Potts to contribute $10,000 toward a $25,000 partnership with Friends of North Carolina, an economic development advisory group to the North Carolina Commerce Trade and Development Fund. “It goes without saying that we have a lot of people out of work, and we’ve got to do everything we can to encourage and stimulate job creation in our county,” said Chairman Dr. Max Walser. “Every little thing that you can do, like this, I think is an investment.” The remaining $15,000 in the partnership was contributed by other Davidson County Economic Development Commission partners, Lexington, Midway, Thomasville and Denton. Based out of Raleigh, Friends of North Carolina works to promote the state in an effort to draw businesses and trade, discussing ways to market the state and particular counties by highlighting key areas, notable events etc. County Economic Development Director Steve Googe suggested the partnership a few weeks ago. “It’s kind of a market-

Supreme Court hears sound of silence VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist In the last 44 years, the Miranda warning has become as American as the Iowa State Fair. Most of us could recite it in our sleep, particularly the part that goes: You have the right to remain silent. Police and prosecutors, who once saw it as coddling criminals, have learned to live with this modest obligation. But not everyone is so adaptable. Some people bridle at the notion of going along with something that protects the guilty as well as the innocent. Five of them sit on the Supreme Court of the United States. They read the Miranda protections the way W.C. Fields read the Bible: looking for loopholes. That became blindingly evident this week when the court, by a 5-4 vote, ruled against a defendant who said he had been deprived of his freedom to keep his mouth shut. After being arrested and told of his right to remain silent, Van Chester Thompkins proceeded to exercise it. He refused to speak, beyond a few one-word responses to innocuous questions, such as whether his chair was hard. But his police interrogators were not to be denied. For nearly three hours they confined him in a small room and peppered him with questions. Finally, Thompkins was asked if he prayed to God to forgive him for “shooting that boy down,” and he replied, “Yes.” He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole. His lawyers said that having indicated his choice to remain silent, he should have been spared further grilling. On their side is common sense, which says that if someone announces you are free not to speak, not speaking is an unmistakable way to convey your exercise of that prerogative. But common sense is not always abundant in the halls of justice. The Supreme Court claims that Thompkins’ persistent silence didn’t suggest a choice to remain silent. Its logic: How can I know you don’t want to talk if you won’t say anything? It doesn’t occur to the five justices that someone in the grasp of the police, after hours of relentless questioning, would conclude that his right to remain
silent was meaningless -- that he would be interrogated until he answered. Justice Anthony Kennedy insisted there was no evidence the suspect had the slightest desire to invoke the privilege. “Thompkins did not say that he wanted to remain silent or that he did not want to talk with the police,” asserted Kennedy. If there is any doubt about the suspect’s preference, the court established, it will be taken as consent to be questioned. If Kennedy were to try to strike up a conversation with someone at a bar, only to be ignored, he would assume she was dying to hear more. Such obtuse logic is impossible to square with the 1966 Miranda decision, where the justices explained the psychological reality of a police interrogation. Someone being held involuntarily in a station house, they knew, will tend to assume that he must cooperate or suffer painful consequences. The Miranda warning is one way to convey to the suspect — and the cops — that he has rights they must respect. “Unless adequate protective devices are employed to dispel the compulsion inherent in custodial surroundings, no statement obtained from the defendant can truly be the product of his free choice,” declared the court. But just giving the warning is not enough. The court stressed that the police may not exploit ambiguities to nullify its effects. “If the individual indicates in any manner, at any time prior to or during questioning, that he wishes to remain silent, the interrogation must cease,” it said. “If the interrogation continues without the presence of an attorney and a statement is taken, a heavy burden rests on the government to demonstrate that the defendant knowingly and intelligently waived his privilege against self-incrimination...” (my emphasis) Not anymore, it doesn’t. Now, says the court, it is the duty of any accused person “who wants to invoke his or her right to remain silent to do so unambiguously.” The “heavy burden” lands on the suspect. If cops can trick him or wear him down, the justices say: Good for them. Once upon a time, the Supreme Court tried to make sure that Americans under police suspicion could freely decide whether to exercise their constitutionally protected right against self-incrimination. I’m waiting to hear Kennedy and Co. express any similar commitment. And their silence is deafening.
A memorable day of patriotism THIS-N-THATS
LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Can it get any better than that? The “that” I am referring to is the Memorial Day festivities held in our town on Monday. Aren’t we all proud of the patriotism exhibited from the laying of the wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial just south of town, to the festivities at the Big Chair and Gazebo downtown, as well as the Parade down Salem Street to Memorial Park where patriotism shined? A little rain shower didn’t dampen the spirit of those in attendance. I must admit that I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye as those veterans who had fought for our freedom proudly proceeded down Salem Street. Thanks, to all the Veterans who have served in our armed forces and thanks to the Planning Committee; the volunteers and those individuals and companies who provided funding to make the Memorial Day events possible.! God bless the USA! ••• Do you sing around the house or do you sing in the shower? If so, it’s the season to sing this one. “Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don’t care if I never get back, Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don’t win it’s a shame. For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out, At the old ball game.” Hi-Toms baseball is back! The season opened with a
home game on Wednesday and another home game last night against Forest City. The next few home games will be Sunday at 5 p.m. versus Edenton; Monday versus Winston Salem; Wednesday versus Asheboro; Thursday versus Carolina Hurricanes; and Saturday, June 12 versus Asheboro. Most game times are 7:05 with a few scheduled for 7:20. Pick up a complete schedule at Finch Field Box Office. ••• Another downtown building is making some facade improvements. The old Rose’s 5 & 10 is sporting a fresh coat of paint and the brown butcher paper is no longer on the plate glass on the front of the building. Thanks for whoever is responsible. Looking good. ••• I am sure that you recall the puppy that was set afire last year. Although near death with second and third-degree burns on more than 60 percent of her body, a broken jaw and teeth, and covered with more than 300 maggots, “Susie” had a will to survive. The perpetrator was caught; however justice would not be served. North Carolina structured sentencing guidelines would only allow the guilty party — a 21-year-old — to serve 4-5 months, suspended sentence (probation) for a Class I felony of Cruelty to Animals. Susie’s Law has been introduced and may be heard in next year’s General Assembly session. An e-mail circulating urges all to contact your senator and house representative and tell them we need stricter animal abuse laws in North Carolina. ••• One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of
days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked. “Oh yeah,” said the son. “So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father. The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. “We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us. They have friends to protect them.” The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.” Isn’t perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! Life is too short and friends are too few. ••• Don’t forget Thomasville Medical Center’s 80th Anniversary Celebration next Saturday June 12 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. ••• Some schools are already out for summer vacation. Others soon will be. Be mindful of our young folks who will be out and about. Guest Columnist Larry Murdock can be reached at larry.murdock@hotmail.com.

away for a while, and now has returned — has held a cosmetology license for 17 years. She spent the first five years working in cosmetology then went on to work in business development and marketing. Now she has fulfilled her dream of opening her own business, and in her hometown, to boot. But VIBE isn’t just any business. Thomasville Beautification Committee named the boutique the June Business of the Month for the complete makeover given to the building. “I was very, very excited,” Ratliff said of the nomination. “I wasn’t planning on receiving that.” Carol Brown, director of the committee, had stopped by the store during litter sweep at the end of April, drawn by the new painting job and the inviting feel. “It’s actually breathtaking,” Brown said. “It’s very unique. The colors are just so soothing, and it’s refreshing to go in there. She’s got everything just displaying so beautifully.” Ratliff ’s husband, who is in the construction business, actually did most of the work himself, handpainting the wood. “We have totally, totally redone the whole inside of the building,” Ratliff said. “New floors, everything. A lot of people say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe there’s a place like this in Thomasville.’” But the Ratliffs’ sights extend farther than just the front doors of the shop. Brown said that the couple has a vested interest in revitalizing the downtown. “Her and her husband are really interested in downtown,” Brown said. “They’ve really invested back into the community downtown. She’s got a personality that’s unreal. She’s like somebody that you’ve known your whole life.” Ratliff says her motivation stems not only from wanting to bring people back downtown but also to help the economy in the area. “I love the history of Thomasville,” she said. “I love the old buildings, and I would really like to see more people come back downtown. I’m a hometown girl, and I want to help my city.”

TMC From page A1 ladies to be born at TMC will be honorary guests. Birthday cake also will be available. “I think it speaks a lot about our people and the medical services they provide, and the people in the community who utilize those services,” said Jane wilder, TMC’s public relations director. “In these tough economic times, when probably a lot of community hospitals may find themselves having to close their doors, we’ve been very fortunate to actually add services and bring the technology into the community.” What has made TMC so successful and a viable hospital for 80 years is its willingness to stay up with the times. During the past year alone, TMC has added physicians to its medical staff, opened up a sick child daycare ward, established a comprehensive lung care center for people with chronic lung disease or breathing problems and digital mammography. “It’s all come because we are fortunate to have doctors who can work anywhere yet they choose to work at Thomasville Medical Center,” Wilder said. “We have a group of employees who are very dedicated and put the patient first. We didn’t get here on our own and we know that. If you’re not continually looking at the newest innovations you’re out of date. It’s so important to leadership
that’s creative and forward-thinkers and connected with what’s going on.” In 1997, TMC merged with Novant Health Systems, a move that has led to the corporation investing more than $50 million to the facility. Johnson said the merger gave TMC more access to both capital and professional expertise to handle the ever-changing medical world. Plans are in motion to bring a new geriatric behavioral health program to TMC by January, a field that is growing as the country’s population ages. “We constantly talk to our community about what their needs are,” said Johnson. “Geriatric health is a very specialized program for patients 55 or older who have medical and behavioral health needs. There are very few behavioral health programs, and with our population aging, there’s a big demand for it. We’ve had waiting lists for our units which already has grown twice.” TMC also is now offering a new form of evasive surgery that limits the amount and size of incisions, while also reducing the chance of infection and scarring. A new palliative care unit opened recently designed for individuals with incurable illnesses, allowing them to live longer while avoiding unnecessary testing in a family-friendly environment.

Thomasville Primary School children march in the annual Parade of Excellence Friday afternoon. “What makes me feel good is all the community folks who come out and support our children. It’s probably the biggest one I’ve been to. It’s good to see all the community leaders and parents come out and support the children. It’s just a fun time.” Students joined in on the parade one class at a time. All of TPS took part in the event, and students who accomplished their individual goals were recognized by their teachers individually. Parents waived at children as they passed by, and some students held banners representing their respective classes. Thanks to an outside contribution, a mist sprayer welcomed parade participants at the finish line with a cool dose of water on a exceptionally warm afternoon. Volunteers handed out bottles of water to children as they meandered down the TPS driveway.
PARADE From page A1 ebrate.” TPS students set individual goals at the beginning of school, and participation in the parade acts as an incentive to keep learning throughout the year. Family members lined the parade route that started in front of TPS and headed down East Sunrise Avenue towards Liberty Drive Elementary before turning left onto Duke Street. From there, the procession turned left onto Longview Drive and back to East Sunrise before returning to TPS. Principals from all four city schools participated, as did the Thomasville HiToms. Some guests rode is classic cars while others hitched a ride on the back of a tractor. “It’s a good time to celebrate what the children have done during the year,” said TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin.
BUDGET From page A1 ing economic development advisory group that works in partnership with the Department of Commerce in promoting North Carolina and the economic development of our county,” said County Manager Robert Hyatt. “It will help us have a seat at the table and have better access to what’s going on across North Carolina and what opportunities may be out there.” The group will help keep the county informed about upcoming trade shows and other economic opportunities that could benefit the county. Hyatt said Googe, who would sit at the table at Friends of North Carolina meetings, feels like he needs to be there to exploit all the opportunities available. “We think it’s worthwhile,” Walser said. “It’s certainly worth $10,000 to try to get these foreign companies, for example. We felt like it was worth the expense.” In another commitment to economic development, the board also set aside $15,800 for the Piedmont Triad Partnership. That group focuses on regional economic growth, seeking to draw larger companies to the Triad area. “We’ve been a member of that for many, many years, and it’s a really viable organization with a lot of very heavy hitters

sitting on that board who are trying to attract companies like Honda and Fed Ex and the like for our whole region,” Walser said. “It’s a really very potent, high-powered group of people who have clout and we need to be at the table.” Despite some concerns raised by community activist Barney Hill — who voiced an opinion at a previous commission meeting that the Partnership hasn’t done anything for the county — commissioners still felt the Triad group had benefits. “We felt like it was important to continue to be involved in those efforts nationally and globally and continue to raise awareness of the region,” Hyatt said. “Some of these organizations, the value is getting you closer to where decisions are made, access to information. Those are soft things.” Hyatt says the county’s involvement with the Piedmont Triad Partnership doesn’t reveal concrete and visible benefits, though he says he wishes

Instead, the group works as a source of valuable information. “As competitive right now as economic development is across the United States and the thousands of groups out there promoting their region, it’s very important for us to stay engaged and have access to as much information as we can and kind of be in the know,” Hyatt said. “These organizations help us do that.” The board will look at the budget again at its June 8 meeting, held at 7 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Davidson County Governmental Center.

RELIGION
Will the church survive the effects of human error? RELIGION
DR. GEORGE JACKSON Guest Columnist
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18
This question looms larger as the years roll by. The current political, social and economic climate of our nation often causes me to wonder about the stability of the church. We’ve surely seen better days. The international fallout from the Catholic
Church’s child abuse scandal brings to light the need for accountability among the clergy to the laity as well as to the bishopric. The continued voluntary segregation of our houses of prayer and worship reflects a lack of reconciliation from festering wounds that are centuries old. By law and attrition, racial barriers have been toppled but the church remains a safe haven for division. The gulf between the have and the have nots seems to grow wider each year, creating an undercurrent of anger, hostility, jealousy and distrust among the population. Where is the church in all this? How does the church regain or simply maintain relevance in this asset driven society? How does the church keep up with all the new technology that distracts and disconnects its congregants from fellowship and ministry? The highly-publicized
trial of a prominent Charlotte bishop and his co-pastor wife has sparked wide-spread opinions and heated debate about the relevance of the church. The IRS has 14 counts against the couple, including tax evasion, mail fraud and perjury. The government’s case alleges the couple owes as much as $650,000 in unpaid taxes from 2002 through 2007, living a lavish, opulent lifestyle, earning as much as $5.8 million during this period while the 2,000 member congregation teetered on the brink of repossession and bankruptcy. The bloggers have been in an uproar at the individuals involved as could be expected. Some have lashed out at the congregation as bearers of some blame for allowing this travesty to happen. For many, this sounds much like the tragic events that brought about the down-
fall of PTL and Jim and Tammy Baker in 1987. Scandal in the church is nothing new of course. Controversy caused the Apostles to establish the ministry of Deacons in Acts chapter six. In II Corinthians chapter 13, Paul is issued a severe warning of harsh discipline to the church at Corinth upon his third visit. In Revelation chapter 2, Jesus instructs John the Beloved to write a letter to the church at Thyatira, reprimanding her for tolerating the false prophet Jezebel. The Protestant church can trace it roots back to conflict and controversy. The African-American church was born out of the chaos of disenfranchisement and religious oppression. So why are so many of the bloggers mad at the church in this case. Anger towards this couple has fueled state-

ments like, “I’m never going back to church again”… “That’s why I don’t go to church, all they want is my money”… “If I wanted to get robbed I would have stayed in the street”… “The church doesn’t care about the little people anymore.” I know there’s a lot of hurt in our nation right now due to much human error. People sometimes feel the need to blame someone or something. I hope we do not blame the church. The church is not the blame. The problems in the church are not based on Divine negligence, but human frailty. God is not greedy. Jesus is not motivated by big houses or over priced cars or excessive lifestyles. The Holy Spirit is unmoved by our fame or fortune. Jesus, the founder of the church was careful not to base the assembly on people because people
will disappoint you and leave you feeling empty. He warned us about how twisted our world could be saying, “In the world ye shall tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Because the paradigm or concept of church is based on the eternal Jesus being the Son of the Living God, even though she is attacked from every angle, the church will survive. When Jesus said the “The gates of hell shall not prevail …,” he did not intend for us to think that hell would not unleash its fury on the ekklesia. He just wanted us to know that hell cannot defeat that for which He died and rose again on the third day. Dr. George B. Jackson is Pastor of Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship and Chairman of the MLK Social Action Committee.

Anderson RC features the latest technology in radio controlled vehicles ranging from off-road cars and trucks to airplanes.
BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Looking for something different and exciting to do this summer instead of heading to the pool every day? Matt Anderson of Anderson RC hobby shop has an activity suitable for all ages. High-tech, radio-controlled cars, trucks and planes have grown in popularity lately, and it is fairly inexpensive to get involved with. “The past couple of years a lot of stuff has gone electric, so it is becoming cheaper and a lot more people can get into it without spending a lot of money,” said Anderson. The hobby shop, located at the end of Ballpark Road, also has a full service parts center and is filled with cars, trucks, helicopters, boats, planes and many other radio controlled vehicles.

Anderson says the majority of what he sells is the trucks and cars that go for as cheap as $130 and can go up to as much as $700. These are durable machines that do not break easily, and if there is a problem, Anderson RC can fix it in their service center. “Everything I sell you we can get parts for,” Anderson said. “It is nothing like you get at a store that is going to break and you throw it away.”

HiToms struggle Busch’s make Vegas city of brotherly love in last four games ON NASCAR TIMES STAFF REPORT The last few days have not been kind to the Thomasville HiToms in Coastal Plain League action. After winning two in a row, the Tommies have dropped their last four contests. The HiToms started the losing streak against Martinsville losing 8-6. Two night’s later, Gasto-
nia got the better of the Tommies with a 6-1 win. Then it was Forest Citiy’s turn, as the defending champion Owls defeated them 2-1, and Morehead City was the latest to drop them in a 91 game on Thursday. The good news for the HiToms is they are still waiting on several of their key players to show up at Finch Field.

Post 284s Justin Weavil leaps to avoid a West Forsyth baserunner at second base during Friday’s legion game.
“Brother acts” are hardly a new phenomenon in NASCAR. There are many notable examples: Bobby and Donnie Allison. Terry and Bobby Labonte. The Waltrips. The Wallaces. The Burtons. The Flocks. But as the sport continues to diversify, attracting drivers from all over the nation and even the world, that time-honored tradition is becoming diluted just a little bit. Looking around the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage these days, there really aren’t too many active competitors who are actual relatives — or blood kin, as we call them in this neck of the woods. There are two guys who share the same last name, although they don’t hail from a town exactly known for producing legendary racing families. Las Vegas, Nevada natives Kurt and Kyle Busch are neither small-town nor Southern, but both have proven to be NASCAR to the bone. If you take an informal — and truly impartial — survey, most people will have to admit that when it comes to raw racing talent, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone with a bigger supply than Kyle Busch. Years ago, before Kyle had even run his first race in the Cup Series, Kurt went on record as saying his kid brother was the more talented driver in the family. Since his first full-time Cup season, Kyle has
CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist gone on to put his money where his brother’s mouth is, winning 18 races and, according to who you ask, roughly the same number of fans. He has also tacked a NASCAR Nationwide Series championship onto his increasingly long resume, winning the title last year. Along the way, Kyle’s aggressive racing style and public displays of pique have alienated an awful lot of people including, most recently, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin. Hamlin isn’t always a day at the beach, either, but there’s still something to be said for presenting a united front. When Kyle fails to win a race, he will often stalk off disgustedly rather than sticking around to chat it up in front of the TV cameras. He is often roundly criticized for this, although I sometimes wonder why. NASCAR’s policy is to hold the second through fifth place finishers on pit road for post-event interviews. On more
than one occasion, when Kyle has failed to place in the top five, I have seen the media chasing him back to the hauler in an attempt to get a comment. You don’t see much of that with any of the other so-called “losers.” The guy doesn’t like to be beaten. But then again, who does? Kurt Busch looks relatively tame these days compared with his younger brother, but he had his own share of controversy early in his career. In interviews, he often came across as sounding either condescending or sarcastic, because frankly, he’s a whole lot smarter than the average bear. He has been involved in a couple of fairly famous feuds, most notably with Jimmy Spencer and Kevin Harvick, coming out on the short end of both, at least in terms of public opinion. After enjoying a great deal of success at Roush Fenway Racing, he left under, shall we say, less than amicable circumstances, and was in fact taken out of the car for the last two races of his contract. Just to make things harder on himself, Kurt has developed that annoying — to some — habit of winning. A lot. He has 21 Cup Series victories, and in 2004 was the first-ever champion under the new Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup format. Headed into the race weekend at Pocono,

HOBBY From page B2 While Anderson currently focuses on the hobby end of the sport, he says they are hoping to get their off-road, outdoor racing track complete to go along with the street course that sits out in front of the building. He has already hosted a
few events, but hopes to expand and be able to draw in even more participants in the future. There are many tracks already in the area in Asheboro, Greensboro, King and Cherryville. “It is just such an investment for the dirt, but we are hoping to get the off-road track going,” said Anderson. “We are hoping we can get moving on that in the next
month or so.” Racing competitively can get quite expensive, but at the same time, be quite exciting. Some of the cars and trucks can reach upwards of 100 mph, but the majority run around the 70 mph range. Anderson says many of his customers prefer a cheaper route, though, and just enjoy playing in the yard at their homes.
For anyone interested in getting started, stop by the shop where Anderson is eager to help out. “The best thing to do is read into it and ask questions, and that is what I am here for,” Anderson said. Sports Editor Zach Kepley can be reached at 888-3631, or at kepley@tvilletimes.com.

LOVE From page B1 there is an impressive statistic that has been frequently quoted. Of the last six races run in NASCAR’s top three series, including the non-points-paying Sprint All-Star Race, the Busch brothers have combined to win all six of them. The last time a different driver won in either the Sprint Cup or Nationwide series was in Darlington, where Hamlin swept the weekend. And Kyle probably still holds that against him. Of course it can’t last, but a six-for-six record is nothing to sneeze at. It is also nothing to ignore. Both Kyle and Kurt currently sit in the top 12 in the Cup driver standings, and their names regularly come up in conversations about potential championship prospects. Our siblings are the

people we practice on before we have to deal with the folks that aren’t related to us and aren’t obligated to spend money on us at Christmas. It is an ongoing process. Kurt and Kyle don’t always get along with their fellow drivers; shoot, they don’t always get along with one another. But you can’t argue the fact that they seem to be getting along just fine with their mechanics, crew chiefs, engine builders and, by extension, with their race cars. It may not be what we’re used to, but it’s nice to see a racing family doing so well. So in the case of Kurt and Kyle Busch, we can all just sit back, enjoy the show and let brotherly love continue. Until one of them comes in second, of course. Then, all bets are off.

Time to get up and get moving OFF THE PORCH
DICK JONES Guest Columnist
Traveling, I tend to stay on my own time zone unless I’m more than one time zone away. This week, I emerged from my Paris, Tenn. motel room at 8 a.m. with the morning sun bearing down. In the parking lot of the motel, two men about my age were finishing getting everything on the boat behind their truck for a bass fishing trip. Rods were being stowed, coolers put in hatches and the last tackle bags were on the decks. “You guys should already be on the water,” I chuckled as I dropped my briefcase into the back seat. Sweat was already running down the face of the more portly of the two anglers. “At our age, we don’t always get on the water before sunup, anymore,” he said with a sheepish look. No one loves the comfort of their bed in the morning more than I, but there are times when early rising is required. No, bird hunting is not one of those times and maybe that’s why for the last few years, I’ve shot more upland birds than ducks. In fact, I’m quite sure I’m on to something there. Hunting and fishing are almost best early and late and, in my experience, early is always better than late. It’s true that with duck hunting, hawking hours begin a half hour before sunup and end at sundown. That early, low light shooting is almost always the best of the day. Of course, to get ready for that shooting, you have to be on the water no later than 4:00 AM to get everything ready unless you’re hunting with a guide who did it all for you last evening. Any deer hunter worth his salt is firmly ensconced in his deer stand for a half hour before shooting light so the woods can settle down before shooting time. Turkey hunting involves being in the woods while the birds are still asleep on the roost, preferably close to where the flock is going to drop off the limb and land once awake. At least, in goose hunting, you can get out in the field at first light provided you don’t plan to set a huge number of decoys, geese are no doubt the latest rising waterfowl. The best of surf fishing requires you fish under cover of darkness. If you divided the day into four equal segments beginning with midnight, there would be more citation drum caught in the first six hours than in the other eighteen. The best bass fishing I’ve ever done was in the dim light before the sun came

up. One summer morning in July, Daddy and I both caught two bass on one plug before the sun ever cleared the horizon at Ned Wilburn’s pond. You could wear your arm out trying to catch a bass there after 8 a.m. but from first light to sunup, you had to hide behind a bush to tie on a plug. The highlight of striper fishing on the Roanoke River, for me at least, is catching them on a topwater plug. The law requires that lures on the Roanoke during the striper run only have one barbless hook and a Zara Spook is a large lure for one hook. The normal average is to get at least a dozen blowups on your spartanly modified Spook before a fish manages to get himself impaled on the hook and I think that’s why I love that kind of fishing so. I love seeing four pound fish bumping against each other trying to knock my lure out of the river. Guess what, catching stripers that way only happens about 30 minutes out of a day, from first light till the first rays of sun filter through the trees. Now, if you’re going to be a decent outdoorsman, you must be able to set the alarm clock for a low number and have the resolve to roll out when it rings. Even competitive shooting requires getting up early. When I was shooting rifle matches, I left home at 5 a.m. to get to Camp Butner’s Known Distance range in time to get good squadding and at Camp Perry for the National Matches, we were walking across Viale range every morning

Stripers are active in the Yadkin Chain. A 12-pound striper caught at Tuckertown this week.
MOVING From page B4 before it got light enough to read a newspaper. With summer almost here, there’s a big temperature advantage to early morning fishing, as well. I’d have to really be catching them to enjoy fishing in direct hot sun with 90 degree weather. When I was a teenager, two of my duties, among others, were to keep the wood box filled in winter and the grass cut in summer. It took a little ridicule from my Mama, to get me to realize it made more sense to mow in the cool of the morning, I did finally figure it out when she told me once that she hoped it was “hot as blue blazes” when I put off mowing till one of the hottest afternoons of the year. I pushed that old Craftsman mower and mopped sweat, vowing to learn from my lesson this time to get the mowing done in the morning. One of the blessings of my life is the fact that my wife, Cherie, has developed a love of hunting, shooting, and fishing. One of the worst things about her new found appreciation of the traditional outdoor sports, though, is that she is by nature a late riser. It has taken me a few years to get her to understand that the time from first light to full day is more productive than any other time but I have managed it. OK, so I’ve convinced Cherie that there’s a big advantage to rising early for a hunting, shooting, or fishing trip. Now if I can just figure out how to keep her from being grouchy before 8 a.m., I’ll be in good shape. One morning as we drove through the pre-dawn darkness, I suggested that was going to be my next project. “Wouldn’t it be easier to teach the fish to sleep later?” was the grumpy reply. Dick Jones is a freelance writer living in High Point. Dick writes about hunting, fishing, dogs, and shooting for several N.C. newspapers as well as magazines.

A look at the City of Thomasville’s 2010-11 budget CITY BEAT
KELLY CRAVER Thomasville City Manager
The budget documents include three major operating funds. The largest is the General Fund which includes Public Safety, Public Works, Recreation and Administration. The Water and Sewer Fund includes the Water Plant (Raw Water Pumping Station and three elevated storage tanks and one Booster Pumping Station), Waste Treatment Plant and 31 Sewer Pumping Stations, meter reading and service, and the Maintenance and Construction Division, which maintains all water and sewer lines throughout the city. The third fund is the Golf Course. The Storm Water Management Fund is a minor enterprise fund that is included in the 2010-11 Budget. The revenue for this fund continues to be billed monthly on each water account and is set at $1 per month per inside customer accounts. Total estimated revenue for this fund is $90,681. These revenues support expenditures for engineering services, surveying, illicit discharge detection, and storm water public education. These expenses are required to comply with Federal and State storm water regulations. We also receive and pass through the School Supplement Tax fund. The recommended General Fund Budget is balanced using a tax rate of 56 cents per hundred dollar valuation. This is equivalent to the 2009-10 fiscal year tax rate. One cent of this rate will pay directly to enhance the general fund unreserved fund balance. Property Tax: Property tax represents 47 percent of all General Fund revenue and is estimated at $9,362,420 based on 56 cents per $100 valuation. This estimate represents a 1.7 percent increase in projected valuation over last year based on information provided by the Davidson County and Randolph County Tax Departments. Sales tax revenue: This budget projects a 5.0 percent decrease in sales tax which provides 24 percent of the total General Fund revenue of $4,769,643. Utility Franchise Tax: This tax represents 7 percent of the General Fund revenue at $1,393,963. Powell Bill: The Powell Bill distribution is 3.5 percent of the General Fund Revenue and is estimated to be $682,464. This estimated revenue represents a 21 percent decrease (174,360) from 2008. Powell Bill reserves totaling $388,684 are utilized to fund paving. The Solid Waste Disposal fee represents 4 percent of the budget. The monthly fee per household is $5.75
and has not changed. This fee is to offset operational costs and county landfill tipping fees charged to the city. Total revenue generated from this fee is $752,555. Planning and Inspections fees represent 1 percent of the total General Fund revenue. No fee increase is included in this year’s budget. The revenue estimated from this source is $243,750. This represents a 15 percent decrease in revenue from 2009-10 ($42,250). Utility reimbursement to the General Fund for services rendered represents 4 percent of the total revenue at $709,549. Recreation revenues from rental and program fees amounts to 1 percent of the General Fund revenue at $141,964. Other financing amounts to 2 percent of the General Fund Revenue at $454,283. Other taxes and fees amount to 3 percent of the General Fund revenue at $605,964. This includes revenues from ABC tax and Occupancy Tax. A $5 motor vehicle fee is assessed on all vehicles registered in Thomasville. All other miscellaneous revenues total 1.5 percent of the budget at $274,066. Salary and benefits for our employees total $12,186,263 or 62 percent of all expenditures. No Merit or COLA adjustments are included in this budget year. No salary study will be funded in the 2010-11 budget. Employee health insurance premiums did increase 4.4 percent in this budget. Workers compensation premiums budgeted decreased 31 percent in this budget. ($187,698) All other employee benefits are continued for 2010-11. No planned layoffs or furloughs are included in this budget. No additional personnel are included in this budget. Two unfilled positions in the Sanitation Department were eliminated. All employee benefits are continued at their current level. Retirement contributions increased 1.55 percent ($157,691) due to loss of investment income incurred by the retirement system. Operating expenses are 29 percent of all General Fund expenditures totaling $5,801,284. The budget includes a manager directed 3 percent operational line item reduction. Total Debt Service in the General Fund is 4 percent or $711,774. New Capital expenditures amount to 3 percent of total expenditures or $688,783. The percentage of financing to pay as you go to financing capital purchasing is 57 percent to 43 percent. This percentage meets city council’s fiscal policy
of a minimum of 30 percent pay as you go capital purchasing. Total revenue in the Water and Sewer fund has increased due to an average 8 percent rate increase. Of the total revenue of $10,515,467, eighty-five percent is generated through the per thousand gallon charge to the customer each month. The rate increase represents a 2.8 percent increase in addition to the rate study indicated 5.2 percent increase. The additional increase is necessary because of the continuing decline in consumption. Water and Sewer tap fees will not increase. The third year of phase out of the “declining block” discount will decrease the discount from 10 percent to 5 percent for those customers with over 20,000 gallons consumption per month. Expenses from salaries amount to 19 percent or $2,030,523. No additional personnel are included with one position frozen for the entire budget year. Operational expenses are 30 percent or $3,199,413 and debt service now totals 40 percent of the total cost in operating these utilities at $4,172,217. Management continues to pursue completion of five sewer infrastructure projects as indicated by the “Pease Associates Wastewater Collection System Study.” The highest priority project in that study was funded in the 2009-10 budget. Due to low cash reserves in the Utility Fund, outside funding alternatives, both loans and grants are being sought to complete the remaining projects. As those funding sources are secured, the 2010-11 budget will be amended and funding appropriated. The needed capital improvements total 4 percent or $403,765. The Golf Course total revenues are expected at $662,607 with no per round increase. Total budget including operating expenses and debt service is $1,044,828. Debt service is 35 percent of total expenditures at $362,676. Salaries and benefits are 43 percent of total expenses at $448,576. No capital expenditures are budgeted for the Golf Course in 2010-11. The total combined recommended budget for fiscal year 2010-11 is $33,003,266 for all city personnel, operations, equipment, capital improvements and debt service. The above total includes a $1,318,801, to Thomasville City Schools. Note: A public hearing concerning the city’s 2010-11 budget will be held Monday at 7 p.m. in council chambers at the Thomasville Police Department.

Crawfish Day planned at Piedmont Triad Farmers Market TIMES STAFF REPORT
Crawfish lovers need to mark their calendars for Saturday, June 19, at 10 a.m. for the annual Crawfish Day at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market in Colfax. The sale will be held in the Farmers Area No. 2, which is on the left after entering the market. Live crawfish will be on sale for $5 per pound, with a 5-pound minimum purchase and a 40-pound maximum purchase per person. Cooked crawfish will be on sale for $6 per pound.
“This is always one of the most eagerly anticipated events at the market,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Growers expect to have more than 1,000 pounds of North Carolina crawfish available for sale, but shoppers are still encouraged to come early to ensure availability.” Crawfish Day is sponsored by the N.C. Crawfish Growers Association. In 2009, N.C. growers raised more than 10,000 pounds of crawfish in ponds from the Piedmont to the coast. In addition to crawfish,
shoppers can enjoy the large variety of locally grown, fresh produce, bedding plants, shrubbery, garden supplies, cheeses, meats and wines available at the market. The Piedmont Triad Farmers Market is at 2914 Sandy Ridge Road, located off Exit 208 from Interstate 40. More information on Crawfish Day and other offerings at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market can be found at www. ncagr.gov/markets/facilities/markets/triad/ index.htm or by calling (336) 605-9157.
Is there a tough conversation that you have been putting off ? John knew he was dissatisfied with his working relationship with a major client. More and more often, this client ‘hit him up’ to reduce his professional fees for services rendered. Although John had satisfactorily provided services to this client for years, the current economic climate was bringing tension into the financial practices of their shared past. John worked hard to provide extraordinary service – exceeding expectations whenever possible. Whether adjusting his schedule to meet their deadline, or even reducing the number of billable hours, John had concrete evidence to back up his claim that he was doing his part to keep expenses in line. Yet the client wanted even more concession. Now John wondered whether he wanted to
had already addressed the issue. To break free from “Sucker’s Choice” John could follow the recommended path: Open yourself to Change Look for the elusive “AND” Clarify what you don’t want, add to it what you do want and start looking for alternatives. Now that he has a different framework, John is looking at his situation with fresh eyes. Next week we’ll check in with him and see where his new vision is taking him.

State Controller’s Office releases monthly financial report TIMES STAFF REPORT RALEIGH – For April 2010, North Carolina’s General Fund experienced a decrease in tax and non-tax receipts. Tax revenues, net of refunds, decreased by $119.2 million, or 5 percent during the month of April compared to the previous year. Non-tax revenues decreased by $182.6 million, or 73.1 percent. Both March and April 2009 had transfers into the General Fund’s Other Non-Tax Revenues for the purpose of providing cash flow to meet the State’s obligations. In March 2009, $336 million was transferred into the General Fund to fund the Medicaid program from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In April 2009, Governor Perdue’s Executive Order Number 6 authorized the transfer of $139.6 million into the General
Fund from special fund and trust fund accounts. Neither March nor April 2010 had transfers of that type. Because of the existing lower cash balances and lower rates of return on investment, investment earnings declined by $2.4 million or 53.3 percent for the month of April compared to the previous year. Year to date, through April, net tax revenues reflected an increase of $528.8 million, or 3.7 percent, with investment earnings down by $74.6 million, or 68.4 percent. The General Fund’s unreserved fund balance as of April 2010 was $405.2 million as compared to a negative $284.7 million as of April 2009. This information is contained in the most recent monthly report on the General Fund compiled by the Office of the State Controller. This report can be found at http://www.osc.nc.gov.

continue serving this client. That’s a good place to start thinking before you start talking! In Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High. (Paterson, Grenny, McMillan, and Switzler) the authors teach us to “Start with Heart”. To ‘start with heart’ means we first take a look at ourselves and what we really want now. The advice is spot-on here, as John’s frustration with the situation could drive him to lose or walk away from a big client that has been well-served in the past. Thinking about what he really wants for himself, the other party and their working relationship brings John back what matters most. It also helps him to avoid the ‘Sucker’s Choice”. When we fall into a “Sucker’s Choice”, it is set up in our minds that only two options exist. It’s the worst of either/ or thinking. The person making the choice truly doesn’t see that there is a third, healthy, option.
