MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

Garden brings about spirt of community

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Lexington resident Hal Triplett patrols the streets of Al Kut, Iraq while working as an contractor helping to train the Iraqi police force.

A small town, almost by definition, comes woven with a sense of community, of togetherness.

And whether the Thomasville Community Garden is a product of that community or a perfect fit within it matters little to the families which it feeds. Either way, people throughout the Chair City — from all walks of life and a variety of backgrounds — have pitched in to make the garden a reality.

Located on Memorial Drive cross from the Farmer’s Market and the new ampitheater on a lot owned by Habitat for Humanity, the garden provides healthy and nutritious food to people in the community and offers growers a source of income and independence.

“One of the things

Staff Writer LEXINGTON — When the moment came for Hal Triplett to step off the plane in Baghdad, Iraq two years ago, reality hit the former lieutenant with the Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office.

After leaving his job of 12 years behind, his decision to depart Davidson County for the battlefront in Iraq had come full circle. Others like him faced that same of moment of truth and decided to go the other way.

Triplett elected to stay.

“When the plane was getting ready to touch down, I thought, ‘what in the world am I doing here?’” Triplett said. “I saw some advisors get off of one plane and get right back on another one once we landed in Baghdad. They weren’t mentally ready for it. It

‘They have been doing things a certain way for so long that it will be hard for them once we leave. But it’s time we get out of there.’

— Hal Triplett was a life-changing experience for me, helping another culture around the world.”

Faced with financial uncertainty, Triplett saw an opportunity to both make money and serve his country helping train Iraqi police while working with the U.S. State Department as a private contractor. In 2008, Triplett, 58, signed up, and for the next 18 months

found himself walking dangerous Iraqi streets with soldiers young enough to be his children.

“It was an honor to work with those kids,” said Triplett. “You would see them at the base, playing around with each other and joking, but when it came time to saddle up they became so professional. I couldn’t believe how young they all were.”

Before Triplett’s plane arrived in Iraq, he had to undergo a twoweek crash course in Virginia, receiving basic training on how to survive in a volatile country ravaged by nearly a decade of war.

Psychological tests were supposed to weed out the ones not suited for the job, but some still managed to make it to Iraq before turning back once reality set in.

“It was a difficult decision for

that’s so neat about it is how so many groups have come together to make this a really fun and good project, and one that is helping some people that need help in their lives,” said Earl Hackman, one of the garden’s organizers. “When you hear so much bickering going on in the world, it is so neat to see government, religious organizations, commercial enterprises and just volunteers who have come together.”

The garden did indeed stem from quite an eclectic mix of people. Last year, Mike Lamm — pastor of First Presbyterian Church — Greg Rice — a member of the church and worker for Habitat for Humanity — and City Council Member David Yemm came up with the idea for a garden to feed the hungry, so to speak.

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer One of the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is staying active. In addition to eating right, a steady exercise regimen can go a long way towards feeling better and having more energy as people age.

For senior citizens, simply getting up and walking a few miles isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Inclement weather or the searing heat of summer often keeps the elderly indoors, but a local agency is providing an outlet to those who wish to still do a little something rather than nothing at all.

Davidson County Se-

nior Services at 211 W. Colonial Drive recently established its own exercise room, complete with equipment, free weights, and, equally important with summer looming, air conditioning.

“This room is for the seniors of Thomasville,” Angela Chapel, senior center manager with DCSS. “As a senior center, one of our goals is to keep our seniors as active as possible. We hope with this that we can accomplish a goal.”

Funds for the exercise room came available through a state grant, and senior citizens are free to use the equipment with a

Wishon reunion offers lesson in genealogy

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

It’s the emotion Will Smith’s character tapped into in the movie “Hitch” on the date that failed. It’s the curiosity of a child who asks where babies come from or what grandpa’s dad’s name was.

The Wishon family will explore that philosophical practice of looking back on the past at a reunion today, celebrating the 300th birthday of their ancestor who originally came to the new world from Germany.

Through a family reunion at Oak Hill Memorial Baptist

Church, the family will honor the man — born in 1710 — who came over on the Ship Loyal Judith on Nov. 25, 1740.

Teressa Wishon Lowder, the sixth great-granddaughter of Conrad, has spent the last year or so researching the family’s history and organizing the reunion along with her cousin and family matriarch — as she has been jokingly called — Betty Kiser.

“It’s just to do something really nice for the family, to give them something to carry on and to pass down to their kids,” said Lowder, a Thomasville native but now a resident of Conway, S.C. “We’ve

Community Sponsor

got 300 years worth of information here.”

Because a majority of the family is originally from Thomasville — and many still live in the Chair City — the family decided to come together in the hometown. Both Lowder and Kiser have organized a plethora of festivities for the day, spanning from a family trivia game, a mini history lesson, games and a covered dish dinner.

A guess-the-baby poster with 24 baby pictures spanning the four living generations will also be one of the events, as will a 355-picture

me and my family to go over there,� said Triplett. “I wanted to do something and felt I wasn’t too old that I couldn’t do something. I wanted to be a part of it. Money also was a factor. I started late in law enforcement and my retirement wouldn’t even cover my house payment.�

But, this wasn’t just another job.

Training Iraqi police proved tedious, dangerous and frustrating at times.

Corruption within the government, prospective officers who couldn’t read or write and the inability to distinguish who was good or bad made Triplett’s job painstakingly difficult. “We would roll through a neighborhood, and people would line the streets shouting USA, USA,� Triplett said. “Once we went by, the same people would starting throwing things at our vehicle. Children would toss bricks at us.�

As a Major U.S. police advisor, Triplett’s job was to mentor and advise Iraqi police in the Al Kut region on all aspects of law enforcement. This wasn’t something he could do in the safety of his Ford Operating Base (FOB). Triplett had to get out in the public where improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and snipers awaited American troops and personnel. The former Marine sergeant conducted 83 missions “outside the wire,� a term for being away from the safety of home base. Triplett came under fire several times, losing two comrades along the way, yet continued his mission. He showed Iraqi police how to thoroughly investigate a crime scene using modern law enforcement techniques, something most of them had

slideshow. “It’s so cool because you look at all these baby pictures and you don’t know who they are,�

Lowder said. “It’s just fun to look at them. It’s fun to go back...and the memories...this is when we lived here, this is when we knew this person.�

The family also will honor those who have gone before them with a 166-photo slideshow of the deceased. Typically, Wishon reunions involve the lighting of a candle for lost loved ones, but Lowder decided against such a sorrowful tradition. “This year, I said, ‘Let’s not do anything sad. Let’s do something to celebrate their lives,’� she said. “It’s basically to celebrate our family in a way we’ve never done before, and to honor them, too. We’ve found out a lot of stuff during this. The stories start coming out when they’ve passed away,� she added, laughing.

Conrad Vishang, as his name was spelled on the ship’s log, came over from Germany and settled in Philadelphia. Once Conrad landed in America, the name was changed to Wishon.

Lowder’s grandparents had often told her and her cousins that their family originated from three brothers coming over together. When looking at the ship’s log, Lowder discovered another Vishang, Phillip, though there are no records of him in the U.S. On another ship in 1742, there is a record of a Samuel Wishon — spelled like the current Wishon family. Lowder said that she thinks maybe these were the three brothers her grandparents alluded to.

Conrad died in May 1789

COURTESY PHOTO

Pictured is Joe Wishon, who served as a Thomasville Police Officer from 1961-62. in York County, Pa., and it was his son, Leonard, who first came to Surry County, N.C. It wasn’t until 1947 when the Wishons first came to Thomasville from Elkin – Kiser’s parents, Ed and Mary, came looking for work.

And though the more recent history Lowder had already gathered from her closest relatives, much of the extended ancestry she hadn’t even heard of until a distant cousin, Joyce Reece Braswell of Laurinburg, N.C., wrote a book “Wishon in America 1740-1999.� “I had no idea before she sent me this information what my greatgrandfather’s name was,�

Lowder said. “You don’t realize how interesting and how much fun it is, finding out about this history stuff, until you get into it. Once you get into it, you go, ‘Wow.’�

Though much of the younger generations seemed less interested in their ancestry at first, once Lowder began digging up information and producing pictures and family trees, interests began to spark. “The thing about history is that you can lose it if you don’t research

it and keep it going,�

Lowder said. “You can lose all that information.

It just all runs together, especially the older you get.�

The importance of that history certainly isn’t lost on Lowder’s cousins. “Family, people need to keep up with their family,� said Michael Wishon. “People don’t do that anymore. It gives you a sense of who you are, where you came from.�

Other relatives can’t believe Lowder has managed to scrape together so much history, pictures from way-back-when that have everyone rolling in their seats. “I just think it’s amazing she would go back that far,� said Anita Wishon.

But for Lowder, the work has paid off. “It’s going to be worth it. Everybody’s so excited,� she said. “The cool thing for us is there are people coming this year that have never been to our reunion. It’s like our whole family is coming together over this.�

never even heard of before. Training local police with weapons also provided some intense moments on the firing range. “Outside the wire was where the bad guys were,� Triplett said. “They have nothing, no radios, communications.

You can’t trust none of them. In Mosul, one of the Iraqi police officers came into a station with an AK-47 and lit the whole place up, killing the station commander. That’s the kind of thing we had to be aware of. Getting places safely was our biggest challenge.�

Looking back, Triplett feels he made a difference, but more work is needed if Iraqi police are to step up and maintain security in their country. With decades of political corruption to overcome, Triplett thinks it will be hard on local police once American troops have vacated the country. “I would say we accomplished about 60 percent of what we wanted to do,� said Triplett. “They have been doing things a certain way for so long that it will be hard for them once we leave.

But it’s time we get out of there. They are going to have to do better. The Iraqi armed forces aren’t doing what they should be doing. They’ve got the money, but it isn’t being put in the right place.

I don’t think they’re ready to take over their country. The have to work it out amongst themselves.�

Triplett signed on for one year in Iraq but stayed another six months before returning from Iraq in March. He’s proud of the time he spent serving his country, and even prouder of all the young men and women who stood side by side with him in a part of the world where danger literally lingered around every corner.

BOE discusses policy revisions TIMES STAFF REPORT

Davidson County Board of Education met Monday to discuss an overview of the new state-mandated sex education curriculum as well as to look at revisions to existing policies about cell phone usage.

The Healthy Youth Act of 2009, which will go into effect next school year, is a statewide program for grades seven through nine. A 14-member committee of educators, board members, health providers and members of the faith community will develop the local curriculum, which will be brought before the board at its June 30 meeting.

Abstinence remains the main focus of the new curriculum, coupled with biological information and an emphasis on healthy relationships.

The program also has goals for parent-student interaction. Mostly the same as the current curriculum, the new pro-

gram will add lessons on sexually transmitted diseases, FDA-approved contraceptive methods, sexual abuse and sexual assault.

Also at the June 30 meeting, the board will look at a new policy on cell phone usage. The policy revision prohibits students from using cell phones during school hours and on yellow buses and activity buses used for school purposes, such as field trips, but allows students to use cell phones on activity buses operated for extracurricular activities like sporting events, student organizations or band activities.

The new policy also states that cell phones are subject to search just like all other personal items, such as purses and backpacks, as long as there is reasonable suspicion that a school rule or law has been broken.

The board also raised student parking fees from $20 to $35.

The so-called cuckoo’s nest VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Any impartial national media type will tell you as much: A bunch of half-baked zealot nut jobs have emerged from the Republican primary field.

Folks like Nevada’s Sharron Angle and California’s Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman are throwing around frighteningly out-of-step opinions.

Let’s start with Angle, who believes it would be prudent — get this — to start defunding the Department of Education.

The Department of Education!

You must be aware that the vast majority of Americans were unable to write or use basic arithmetic before the prestigious bureaucracy began operating, in 1980. Over its 30 years of sure-footed guidance, in fact, edumacation standards have improved dramatically and graduation rates have skyrocketed.

Only a wing nut would question the prudence of sinking $50 billion a year into an organization that has taken control incrementally of local education matters and that boasts as its biggest success this time around an erroneously named, stimulus-funded contest: Race to the Top. The consensus on this matter is clear: N-U-T-S. Then we have Fiorina, who was once the CEO of Hewlett-Packard — and thus clearly unprepared for political office. Progressive Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson points out that during a recent debate, this radical supported “the right of suspected terrorists on no-fly lists to buy guns.”

The woman is clearly one round short of a full clip, right? No one ever gets on that no-fly list by accident.

If you’re in the mainstream, you understand how loony it would be to permit an American citizen who hasn’t committed a crime — or is even accused of a crime, much less suspected of terrorism — to have access to his or her constitutional rights. The folks in Gitmo? That’s another story. And not radical.

Then there’s Meg Whit-

man. She ran eBay for a while, and now she’s running for governor. Meyerson says she’s out of step with California, as well.

Fortunately, rational Californians have a choice this November. They can keep the state’s economy humming by choosing the more sensible Jerry Brown, a man who once said that “the conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs.”

“More welfare and fewer jobs!” is a great campaign slogan and unequivocally not crazy.

You see, people need more time to relax. People work too hard. And that’s probably why Brown legalized public employee unions in California when he was governor in the magical ‘70s. Look at how great that’s been for the economic health of the state.

Just to recap: Meg Whitman, radical. Jerry Brown, awesome.

It’s been quite an education watching the evolution of what are acceptable positions in this country. Also confusing.

If you believe Americans should have some limited ability to make choices — say, in Social Security or the purchase of governmentsanctioned health insurance — you are, at best, a latent racist and probably listen to Rush Limbaugh.

If you add $5 billion of debt every day of your presidency — as Barack Obama has done with the help of Congress since he entered office — you are a contemplative moderate.

If you believe in drilling for more oil, you are at best a wretched boob, at worst a tool of corporate interests.

But if you support the corporate interest of creating a fabricated market for the non-commodity of carbon dioxide so it can be “traded” and taxed to deliberately make energy expensive for citizens ... well, you’ve got some serious smarts.

Or, in other words, sanity is liberal orthodoxy, and the Cuckoo’s Nest is everything else.

Why, oh, why doesn’t Obama save us?

VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Not long ago, Barack Obama was pilloried for being too activist, too meddlesome and too inclined to see himself as the messiah.

He was forcing health care reform down our throats, running General Motors, wrecking the financial system and promising to make the oceans recede.

But that was a different guy, from a parallel universe. The President Obama we all know is a passive, detached do-nothing. Or so we have been hearing since the British Petroleum oil spill gained our attention.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican who once denounced Democrats for scheming to “increase dependence on government,” now demands that Washington do more for his state.

Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who recently called on Congress to zero out the Environmental Protection Agency, challenges the administration to “save the Louisiana coast, save the fisheries, save the wetlands.”

Funny how nobody said that at the 2008 Republican national convention, where the chant was “drill, baby, drill.” Back then, real men didn’t protect sea turtles.

“For 35 days, he hasn’t used the full force of our government,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., complained of the president last month. That’s right: a conservative lamenting that Obama is being too

cautious and prudent in his deployment of federal power.

What’s next? Griping that he’s not enough of a socialist?

It may not be a surprise to find Republicans damning Obama when he does and when he doesn’t. But it is novel for them to act as though the president is an omnipotent national father, without whose tender care we are all lost.

“America wants a leader, not a politician,” proclaims former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, writing in USA Today. He says Obama should emulate former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who after the 9/11 attacks “camped out at Ground Zero” to lead the response.

“There is no substitute for being there,” Romney lectures the president.

This is part of Romney’s ongoing campaign to make sure no one ever again takes him seriously. Obama is not a mayor. He is commander in chief at a time when we are fighting two major wars, confronting a North Korea that recently sunk a South Korean naval vessel, trying to prevent Iran from getting nukes and grappling with an international crisis involving Israel.

He is also responsible for directing policy and making budget decisions involving numerous federal departments and agencies that exist because the GOP, after all, didn’t abolish them during its time in power.

To suggest that Obama should devote his full attention to fixing a single problem (a leaking oil well) that the federal government has no competence or responsibility to fix is not leadership but childish fantasy.

Making rules for deepwater drilling is a legitimate function of government, and so is holding polluters accountable for the damage they cause. Plugging oil wells is the function of oil companies.

The federal government does have a responsibility to help mitigate the harm done by the leaking petroleum. But Obama does not need to be on hand for it to carry out that mission, any more than the chairman of Toyota needs to be carrying a wrench on the factory floor. If the president cannot formulate a policy and direct those under him to carry it out, he has no business being president — because there is no other way to be president.

When his critics accuse Obama of being detached and passionless, they are really faulting him for being calm, rational and realistic.

Those qualities, a contrast to the cocky style of his immediate predecessor, are what got him elected. If Americans had wanted a leader to channel rage or grief, they would have chosen someone more demonstrative.

Obama has gone wrong — as conservatives have often been correct in pointing out — when he has pressed against the limits of his rightful powers, taking on responsibilities far greater than the federal government should assume.

A president who does too much is far more dangerous to life, liberty and property than one who does too little.

So if Obama is erring on the side of circumspection, more power to him. When he was running for the White House in 1968, Democrat Eugene McCarthy was asked if he felt he would be a good president. “I think I would be adequate,” he replied.

Here is a goal for Obama that conservatives as well as liberals should be willing to endorse: Just be adequate.

$10 monthly donation to DCSS. There are currently two treadmills, exercise bikes, hand weights and a cardiovascular machine. Seniors wanting to use the room must first sign up for an orientation session where they will get familiar with the different exercises and receive training on how to operate the equipment.

The exercise room opened May 17 and has been met with seniors eager to stay active in the comforts of indoors, especially now that temperatures have hovered around 90 degrees recently.

Brenda Bowman worked out on one of the exercise bikes Thursday morning and said the exercise is helping recover from a recent surgery.

“I need the exercise,” said Bowman. “I just had shoulder surgery and this is helping to strengthen that. It’s nice and cool in here, and it sure beats getting out and walking.”

Seniors wishing to participate must be at least 55 years old. Chapel said an average of 10 seniors a day have been using the exercise room as word gets out now that it’s open. The room is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“People are still finding out that this open,” Chapel said. “We’re hoping more will come as word spreads we’re here.”

Seniors wanting to set up an orientation appointment can call 4742754.

“The intent was that this would be for the folks that were struggling, out of work, because unemployment’s been so bad, that it would be a way for them to get a hold of or to have fresh vegetables to serve to their family,” said Marguerite Fowler, the garden’s volunteer organizer.

But after a while the founding three discovered that not only did people not want to work to grow their food, but some of the kids wouldn’t eat many of the vegetables.

So they switched angles to a financial initiative.

“Greg came up with the concept that if eating the vegetables wasn’t going to help this group of people, maybe we could sell the vegetables and the money that we made from the vegetables could be divided among the growers,” Fowler said.

Essentially the way the garden operates is growers — those in need of the food or money — primarily work in the garden, taking turns to check on the crops daily.

About once a week other volunteers from the community assist the growers with basic gardening work such as mulching pathways, weeding and harvesting.

Since the vegetables are now mostly sold to local businesses such as Tville Diner, the Farmer’s Market and Cedar Lodge Grocery, volunteers and growers alike went through a basic good agricultural practices

Geneva Perry Heaven received another angel on June 8, 2010, when Geneva Pearl Myers Perry quietly left this earth to be re-united with her husband Clyde Hubert and daughters, Carolyn and Linda. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family and friends.

It broke our hearts to see her go, but have peace in the fact that she is rejoicing in her new body, mind and spirit, no longer affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

She was born on Feb. 7, 1925, to William Curtis and Pearlie Elizabeth Trotter Myers. Geneva attended and graduated from Fair Grove High School. She was married to the late Clyde Hubert Perry, who died Aug. 1, 1970. She was employed

by Carolina and Wrenn Hosiery for many years, retiring at the age of 80.

Geneva was the loving mother of Carolyn Perry Christopher and Linda Gayle Perry Honeycutt, both now deceased.

Surviving children are Charles Curtis Perry Sr. (Kay) of Thomasville and Patricia Ann Perry (Joe Ratcliff) of Archdale.

Also surviving to cherish wonderful memories of their grandmother are: Kelly Honeycutt Robinson (Maurice) of Myrtle Beach, S.C., Lt. Tracey LaVerne Perry (Stephanie) of High Point, Cheryl Lynn Perry Duncan and Charles Curtis Perry, Jr. both of Thomasville; Great-Grandchildren,

GARDEN WORKDAY

The Thomasville Community Garden will begin weekly Monday workdays starting Monday, June 14, at 10 a.m. each week. This Monday, the work will include spreading mulch on pathways, picking some produce and painting a part of the garden shed.

To volunteer, donate — money or gardening supplies and tools — or to become a grower, call Marguerite Fowler at (336) 499-7184. seminar. Scott Welborn, a horticulture agent with North Carolina Cooperative Extension, helps with fertilizers and what to plant when.

“They had to be taught how to handle the products before taking them to whoever’s going to buy them,” Fowler said.

“It’s developing into a real community project, which was what we wanted from the beginning.”

Proceeds are then split among the four growers.

The spring crop, mostly romaine lettuce, was sold to Hill’s Farm and Garden, who sold out.

In April, growers and volunteers planted yellow squash, onions, bell peppers, three different kinds of tomatoes and two kinds of cucumbers from the seedlings grown over the winter by residents of The Oaks Assisted Living Center.

The fall crop will be cabbage and iceberg lettuce, depending on what store and restaurant owners want, Welborn said.

“It’s a great idea as far as helping those in our community that are trying to help themselves,” he said. “They just need a helping hand. They’re already working hard.”

But the garden’s benefits don’t stop at the

mouths it feeds. Community members have found working in the garden to be an incredible form of volunteer work, and businesses are able to buy locally grown produce, Hackman said.

“It’s just a good idea from a lot of different angles,” he said. “The fresher the produce, the better it is. We take it out of the garden, and we get

Wondering where to find answers? Seek God VIEWPOINT

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

A friend gave me a book on CD and asked me to listen to it. The book grabbed his attention, piqued his curiosity, and got him to think.

With only a few weeks of school left, it’s difficult to get me to think about something new.

All I can think about is trying to make it to the end of the school year.

Entertaining new ideas is the last thing on my mind at this time of year.

The book is the story about the Brooklyn Tabernacle and the famous Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. It’s a story about the very humble beginning of the church and how God brought about their growth and success. You’ll never be able to guess which marketing plan brought about their growth and success. The answer is simple and something any one of us could do if we would only become committed to it.

The answer is found in the power of prayer.

I have been facing some difficulties in my life. I became convinced that the answer to my problem was going to come through people.

I earnestly prayed and asked God to send people to me with the answer to my problem. I followed this path for several weeks before listening to this book on CD. The peo-

ple who I thought might have the answer I needed did not come through for me. After listening to the CD, I felt convicted that while I was doing the right thing in prayer, I was asking for the wrong solution to my problem.

I needed to repent, and I did. I am now praying not for human help, but for God’s help. I am asking God to intervene to do with me whatever He wants but to bring His solution to my situation.

My prayer and focus is totally different but now I feel my faith growing as I believe God is going to do something that I could never have imagined. I have invited God into the situation and asked Him to do things His way and to use me in whatever way He sees fit. Do you think that is a scary prayer? I do!

I have been given the high privilege to speak to several civic groups

recently. Hidden in the middle of my speech I tell the group, God has given each one of you the power to change situations and circumstances in your life. You can do a very simple thing and change entire outcomes, problems, and the people, too. If you will earnestly pray and ask for God’s help and His solution, I believe God will answer you. There hasn’t been a person who disagreed with me yet.

Why don’t we pray and seek God’s help and guidance more often? Is it a matter of pride? Do we feel like God is too big, busy, or far away to care about our situations and circumstances? Nothing could be further from the truth. If God knows the number of hairs on my head, and believe me that number changes daily, then He is already intimately involved

in my life. He knows all about my problems and He knows the best solutions. We only have to humble ourselves and ask His help.

The answers to all of life’s problems are hidden in God. God intends and hopes that we will pursue Him and seek out the answers. He hides the answers so we will spend more time with Him. He also expects us to work with Him on the solutions. Sometimes it’s waiting, but other times it involves taking a stand and fighting. The odds will be against us so God can show Himself strong on our behalf. We need to know and understand that we serve the God of the impossible. When we discover and implement God’s solutions we bring great joy to His heart.

I want to encourage you to start looking to God for the solutions

to problems and situations that are out of your control. Don’t wait for everything to reach crisis level before turning to Him. He wants to be more involved in your daily life. His wisdom and guidance is available to you if you will ask and seek it with your whole heart. God’s love and desire to help are greater than any of us can imagine. He’s anxiously waiting to intervene on our behalf, but He is also waiting for us to ask. I want to encourage you to ask Him who has the answers to help you find the solutions.

NewBridge Bank ďŹ&#x201A;agpole helps fulďŹ ll wish TIMES STAFF REPORT

The new aluminum flagpole directly in front of NewBridge Bank in Thomasville wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the original plan for NewBridge Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Thomasville branch, which opened in April at 919 Randolph St. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long after the opening that the flagpole arrived, making possible a wish of longtime Thomasville physician and civic leader, the late Dr. James E. Hunter.

Hunter, who died in 2004, had been a physician for the U.S. Air Force before he and his family moved to Thomasville in 1968. Strongly patriotic and civic-minded, Hunter helped build Community General Hospital and the local YMCA and served on the City Council. For about 15 years, he was also a member of NewBridge Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim was a great person. I knew him very well; everyone in Thomasville did,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Hyde, NewBridge Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

TIMES PHOTO/LISA WALL

NewBridge Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest location on Randolph Street now has a flagpole erected in honor of the late Dr. Jim Hunter. business banking executive for the Lexington, Thomasville, Wallburg, High Point, Archdale and Jamestown areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had always wanted us to have a flag for our bank.â&#x20AC;?

Now, the American flag and the NewBridge Bank

flag are suspended from the flagpole.

At the time of new branch opening, Hyde mentioned the flagpole to Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow, Sue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was very enthusiastic and kindly offered to donate a flagpole in Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

memory,â&#x20AC;? Hyde said.

On May 13, NewBridge Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomasville branch held a dedication ceremony and erected the flagpole in Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Joining the Hunter family and group of about 40 people were N.C. Rep. Jerry Dockham and Sen. Stan Bingham, both friends of Hunter. The previous month, Dockham had arranged to fly the North Carolina flag over the State Capitol building in Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory. Sue Hunter became the eventual recipient of that flag.

Hunter, a retired entrepreneur and former Davidson County Commissioner and City Council member, shares her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views about civic duty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always felt that wherever you lived and earned your living, you needed to give back,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was important to him.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he would be a very proud American that he was honored with the flagpole,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would have loved it.â&#x20AC;?

First Bancorp listed as a Top Performing Bank TIMES STAFF REPORT

In a recent study published by the American Bankers Association, First Bancorp ranked fifth among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top performing public banks and thrifts with total assets of more than $3 billion.

The study, which was published in the ABA Banking Journalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 2010 issue, ranked the performance of domestic depository institutions based on return on average total equity (ROAE) for 2009. The study found that First Bancorpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ROAE was 19.24 percent, as compared to the national average of -5.74 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are happy to see that, in a

time when profitable banks are few and far between, First Bancorp has achieved such a high ranking,â&#x20AC;? said First Bancorp President and CEO Jerry Ocheltree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This success is a wonderful validation of our mission to make responsible business decisions, maintain good loan quality, and most of all to take care of the communities we serve.â&#x20AC;?

The study found that top ranking banks differentiated themselves from lesser performing institutions in terms of asset quality, holding a low number of nonperforming loans. At the end of 2009, a mere 3.14 percent of First Bancorpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total loans were nonperforming, as

compared to the 4.56 percent national average.

According to the study, top performing institutions also capitalized on short-term opportunities such as First Bancorpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FDIC-assisted acquisition of Cooperative Bank in June of 2009.

The study found that top performing banks had also benefited from a flight-to-quality of deposits and by offering loans during a time when the competition for loans had lessened.

MARILYN TAYLOR Guest Columnist Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The following is part 2 of a series.

John was facing a tough conversation.

But was it crucial?

A major client wanted reduced fees, again, and John was resistant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost to the point of walking away. He was tired of being worn down on price, particularly when he felt his pricing strategy was already more than fair. Clearly John and his client saw the issue differently. And at least one of them was running on emotional fuel.

Yes, the three conditions as outlined in Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High. (Paterson, Grenny, McMillan, and Switzler) are all there: Stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong.

Because John was willing to â&#x20AC;&#x153;start with heart,â&#x20AC;? he spent some time thinking about what he really wanted.

And he refused the â&#x20AC;&#x153;suckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choiceâ&#x20AC;? of caving in or pounding on the table (flight or fight). He opened himself to change and chose a third alternative.

Are you ready? John decided to review the cost sheets once again.

Wow! Revolutionary.

Review the cost sheets again! Although this course of action doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer much drama, it is a perfect example of an elegant solution. His clarified aim was to simply spot any opportunities to further reduce fees and look for a path where he did not feel completely compromised. With less tension and more clarity, he found something.

A cursory review of client charges revealed a short list of services rendered where he had not offered this client the

standard discount. How had he missed it? While he was at it, John also reviewed the charges for the past several months and noted that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees were running lower than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

It was clear he had both a concession and an important positive trend to share with the client.

But once again, there is no drama here. John chose to share the information by email â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a communication method with which he is very comfortable.

The client received the information well and life moved on. The crisis was averted and both professionals are back to business as usual.

The story is profound perhaps in its simplicity. Few of us read the latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;how-toâ&#x20AC;? and turn our typical tactics completely around. What happens on the good days is that a point gets taken, a new tip is tried and comes true, or a fresh idea begins to take hold. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for those committed to continual learning. One step forward, and then another, as in Crucial Conversations, Starting with Heart.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll add another element next week. Skill No. 2 is called Learn to Look, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about noticing when interpersonal safety is at risk. Put on your PPE and check it out.

The phrase, “Actions speak louder than words” is the perfect way to describe East Davidson’s Keaton Hawks.

A soft-spoken senior on the diamond for the Golden Eagles, Hawks preferred to let his game do the talking, and there were plenty of colleges listening in.

After a sizzling senior campaign in which he earned All-Conference honors and finished runner-up in Player of the Year voting, Hawks made the final move in his recruiting process, signing a letter of intent to play for the Catawba Indians.

“I am really glad that everything has paid off,” said Hawks. “I have worked hard for this and it is just a great opportunity I am looking forward to take advantage of.”

Along with a stellar glove in the infield and sound pitching, Hawks

COASTAL PLAIN LEAGUE

Delay no problem for HiToms

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor The start to the 2010 season has not been all that glamorous for the HiToms, so a much-needed break from the rigors of the Coastal Plain League schedule was desperately needed.

On Thursday, the Tommies got to regroup and have a little fun, stepping out of league play to host the Carolina Hurricanes of the Carolina-Virginia League. With nothing to worry about in the exhibition, the HiToms took care of their opponents by a 3-0 score, giving them positive thoughts as they head back into the CPL schedule.

Delayed 35 minutes due to the umpires not showing up, the players got to enjoy a little free time, with the highlight of the delay coming at home plate. Apparently, due to plays at home plate throughout the years, the dish points a bit in the direction of right field. By the time the person responsible for drawing the batter’s box figured it out, it was too late, and the box pointed in the direction of right-center

‘Clichés’ earn that designation for a reason. Yes, they might be tired and hackneyed, but they’re also mostly true, which is why they are pulled out, dusted off and shoved up in people’s faces time and again. The final laps of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono served to vividly illustrate that point.

Most of us played the game “Musical Chairs”

when we were kids, so we know from experience that two bodies cannot physically occupy the same space at the same time. This also applies to stock cars.

While going for the same line at Pocono, the cars driven by Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series made contact.

When that happens, ‘something’s gotta give.’

In this case, it was the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota. Both drivers were running near the front of the field at the time, but the incident spun Logano out. He ended up in 13th, while Harvick went on to finish fourth.

Some call it karma, while others refer to it as the Golden Rule, but whatever name you give it, it is a principle that repeatedly proves its veracity. We’re combin-

ing a couple of clichés this time, but most folks agree that ‘you need to give as good as you get,’ because ‘what goes around, comes around.’

Kevin Harvick certainly is having a good year. The driver of the No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevrolet took over the lead in the driver standings at Richmond on May 1. A winner at Tal-

SPORTS AREA SPORTS BRIEFS

Launch and load OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist One of the things that creates the most pride in outdoorsmen is the mastery of a variety of skills. Outwardly, this isn’t obvious but when you think about it, most of what makes you a competent outdoorsmen is the ability to efficiently execute the tasks that allow you to pursue your outdoor pursuits.

For a competitive shooter, it’s all about the mastery of a skill whether it’s shooting a rifle, shotgun, or a bow.

Serious surf fishermen take pride in their ability to tie knots, maintain complicated equipment, and cast one and a half football fields across the surf. Dry fly anglers spend hours tying flies that require a magnifying glass to truly appreciate. Boaters navigate and handle a boat and getting it in and out of the water is a big part of that.

I admit I’m proud of my ability to launch and load a boat effort-

lessly. I suspect I’m not the only person who has this kind of pride. It’s not just about impressing others at the ramp with your skills, it’s about being considerate to other boaters.

Often, there are other folks waiting to launch or load. If I’m at a boat ramp, I’m watching folks launch and load because it’s often entertaining.

This past week, I helped with the Oak Hollow Youth Fishing Derby and I had occasion to watch a guy spend about twenty minutes trying to launch his small boat.

His first problem was in getting the trailer lined up with the ramp.

It took him three or four tries. Finally, he got the trailer lined up with the ramp only to spend considerable time putting in the plug and unstrapping the boat.

Then he backed the boat into the water but not far enough to launch.

He then gave his wife the painter (the correct word for the bow line) and she held it while he backed the boat farther into the water, though still not nearly far enough to launch. Next, he tried to get on the trailer to push the boat off eventually giving up and wading out into the lake wearing sneakers and socks. He then managed to push the boat off the trailer after a good deal of straining. Had he backed up a few more feet, the boat would

have floated off. The problem was probably compounded by the fact that there were so many folks watching. He certainly did look stressed.

It’s true that not all boats load and launch the same way. Some are much harder than others but if you spend a little time thinking about the process, you can make it painless. Sometimes, you might need to make an adjustment to your trailer or add an aftermarket gadget that will prove worth its weight in gold. But if you do your homework, you’ll launch and load like a pro.

When a boat is bought by a dealer, it normally comes in without a trailer. Most times, the trailer comes from another company and is sold based on the weight and length of the boat it’s intended to handle.

The boat dealer simply sets the boat on the trailer without much regard to how easy it will be to load and launch. I’ve noticed many trailers have incredible amounts of tongue weight because the dealer simply put the boat on the trailer and never adjusted the bow stop for the boat. Bunks are often in the wrong place and many trailers for flat bottomed boats have nothing to guide the boat onto the trailer.

You can adjust the bow stop on your trailer to balance the boat on the trailer by simply moving the bow stop until you

get to the recommended tongue weight for your vehicle. It will then load and drive better. The bunks should be adjusted to help guide the boat on the trailer and this is easy to do by getting under the boat and looking at the spacing needed, launching the boat, and making the changes in the parking lot. Side guides will make loading a flat bottomed boat a snap and will set you back less than a C note.

Once the trailer is properly adjusted, pay attention to how deep the trailer needs to be in the water. You can even mark the fenders or side guides to help you remember. A good place to start is with the bunks halfway into the water.

If the boat won’t drive all the way to the bow stop, go a little deeper.

Remember that the angle of the ramp has an effect on how deep the trailer goes and remember that a shallow ramp angles mean you have to back further into the water.

In areas where there’s current, it’s a good idea to crank up the motor and back off the trailer under power. This way, if you have motor trouble, you won’t be launched, untied and drifting down the river.

In still water you can tie the painter (or bow line) to the trailer with enough slack and bump the boat off when you

SPORTS LOAD From page B2 get to the right depth by tapping the brakes. You can then come around, pick up the line and maneuver the boat to the dock or bank. Of course, if you have someone with you to finish backing into the water and pull the trailer out, this is much easier. Once you’re at the dock or bank, make sure the boat is fast to something before you walk off.

To load, consider that slow and steady works best. Boats don’t work like cars though and the boat has to be moving to steer. The trick is to bring the boat to the trailer at just enough speed to steer, but not so much as to make it hard to make adjustments using reverse. I approach the trailer in neutral, bumping the boat into gear and back out again instantly to keep just a little speed.

In slack water, come in straight and slow and think about what the wind is going to do to your approach. If the wind is blowing across you, you’ll need to approach from slightly upwind. By keeping the boat going just fast enough to steer, you can make a final adjustment a few feet from the trailer and you’ll be lined up.

If there’s current, look at the water and consider how much

you’ll have to compensate. One trick I use in strong current is to approach the trailer at an angle that’s straight into the current. When the bow is almost to the back of the trailer, I turn into the trailer as one might make a turn into a garage. This eliminates the need to compensate for the current with a straight in approach. Once you’re coming onto the trailer, get the boat lined up with the center of the trailer and drive on.

I always drive onto the trailer. With flat bottomed boats, you almost have to because, unless you have good side guides, the boat will drift off the bunks before you can get it winched up. If you get the trailer depth right, you can drive right up to the bow stop and hook up the winch and safety chain. It’s best to run through a mental check list to make sure everything is taken care of: motor trimmed up, winch hooked up and locked, etc before you pull out.

You might spend an afternoon doing all the above with a new boat to get everything adjusted so launching and loading is a cinch. Once you have it all down pat, think about the peace of mind you’ll have if there’s a line of folks at the ramp watching.

Second baseman John Neese makes the short throw over to first base for the out on Thursday.

HITOMS From page B1 field. Players came in droves to get a good laugh at the situation.

When play finally got under way, the pitching staff of the HiToms showed dominance, holding the Hurricanes to only five hits for the night, while striking out 13 of the batters.

The offense of the Tommies threatened from the start putting a runner at third with two outs, but left him stranded.

A run would come home in the third, though, in a big way.

Tyler Frederick sent a lining drive to left that cleared the Finch Field scoreboard, putting the Chair City boys of summer up 1-0.

Pitching was the highlight of the middle innings, with the two staffs holding each other in check up until the seventh, where the HiToms

tacked on another run.

Cass Hargis singled, then stole second with no outs to stand 180 feet from the skewed home plate. His stay on the bag at second was a short one, with the key hit coming from a man who needed a bit of good fortune come his way. Daniel Kassouf had previously popped out to the first baseman twice in the game, but his third time up to bat was the charm. He went the other way with a single to right field, easily scoring Hargis for a 2-0 advantage.

Matt Dillon would record the final run in the eighth by singling, stealing second, going to third on a wild pitch, and trotting home on a Ben Grisz single to left.

Dillon and Hargis would end up with two hits each for the game.

The HiToms will be at home all weekend, as Asheboro pays a visit today and Gastonia invades on Sunday.

Hawks was pursued by several colleges, but what Catawba had to offer as a whole was too much for him to pass up. His excitement for the baseball program is high, but it was another area that interests him the most.

“Academics is a big priority in my family and Catawba is a well-known school for academics,” said Hawks, who hopes to pursue a degree in either Exercise Science or Biology.

Before heading off to college, Hawks will finish up playing for the Thomasville-Davidson American Legion baseball team. He has been privileged to have Dale Moser as his coach there for two seasons, and spoke highly of those who have been devoted to helping him during his career.

“I’ve had great coaches that have helped me get my name out there and have never given up on me when things did not look the best,” said Hawks.

Saturday, June 12, 2010 – Thomasville Times – B5

SPORTS VISION From page B1 ladega in April, Harvick has posted five top five and 10 top 10 finishes and sits just 19 points ahead of second-place Kyle Busch headed into Michigan. Since his first season in the Cup Series in 2001, he has won a respectable 12 races.

Harvick and his wife DeLana have also enjoyed success in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, winning a couple of championships with their Kevin Harvick Inc. team. It is pretty safe to call Harvick a NASCAR veteran at this point in his career.

Until now, Joey Logano’s primary claim to fame was his age.

Relative to other drivers in the Cup Series, he’s young. In fact, last year he became the youngest driver in history ever to win a race in NASCAR’s premier series. Now 20 years old, he has nine top 10 Cup Series finishes to his credit, and was the series’ 2009 Raybestos Rookie of the year.

With an aw-shucks, boy-next-door kind of vibe working, Logano has earned a reputation for being a nice, easy-going young man, one who is slow to anger and usually ‘turns the other cheek.’

But following the incident at Pocono, neither cheek was turned. Logano pulled his car onto pit road and came after Harvick full-face and straight on, looking ‘mad as a wet hen.’ At least I guess that’s what he looked like, having never seen a wet hen. Alive.

The result was something a lot of fans don’t care for; a melee ensued.

Instead of allowing two drivers to settle their disputes mano a mano, crew members often get in between them, there’s a lot of pushing and shoving and yelling, and nothing gets accomplished.

“You get out of the car, you want to talk to the guy and see what’s going on. And there’s 6,000 crew members around him ... I don’t know how you’re supposed to settle something when you can’t even talk to the guy,” Logano said after the race.

Well, ‘with age comes wisdom.’ Harvick’s take on the incident was, “That’s just racing.

Hate that it happened and we’ll just go on and keep at it. ... You can’t talk to him. He’s 20.”

At 34, Harvick is hardly ready for the front-porch rocker, but in all fairness, Logano did take a shot at DeLana, saying, “His wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do, so it’s probably not his fault.”

Feisty — and businesssavvy — Mrs. Harvick promptly responded by having merchandise produced bearing the phrase “I wear the firesuit in this family,” sure to be a big seller with female race fans.

Apparently, ‘when the going gets tough, the tough sell T-shirts.’ I’m paraphrasing that one a little bit, but it was too good to pass up.

Although unfortunate, the entire Harvick/Logano mini-feud has been awfully entertaining, and in the end was chalked up simply as ‘one of those racing deals.’ The Harvicks earned a few bucks at

the souvenir hauler, and Logano earned some respect for standing his ground and speaking his mind. ‘It’s a dogeat-dog world’ out there on the racetrack, and a guy can’t just ‘roll over and play dead.’

Cute little puppies can grow up to become big, fierce dogs, remember. And sometimes, they do bite back.

FOCUS

A dreamer and his dreams UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

A simple but true little story for you.

Let me tell you, Jesse hated his job. As would you, I imagine, if you had to do it. Jesse was a chicken plucker. That’s right. He stood on a production line all day plucking feathers off of dead chickens in a chicken factory, so the rest of would not have to do this. It wasn’t much of a job, day in and day out. But at the time, Jesse didn’t think he was much of a person.

His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actually thought to have mental illness. He treated Jesse rough all of his life. Jesse’s older brother wasn’t much better. He was always picking on Jesse and beating him up and was very cruel.

Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in West Virginia. Life was anything but easy. And he thought life didn’t hold much hope for him. That’s why he was standing in the chicken line, doing a job that darn few people wanted.

In addition to all the rough treatment he

received at home, it seems that Jesse was always sick. Sometimes the pain was physical and sometimes it was mental strain. He was a small kid, very skinny and meek. This sure didn’t help the situation.

When he started school, he was the object of every bully on the playground and in the classroom. He was made fun of and had no true friends. He was a hypochondriac. For Jesse, tomorrow was not always something to look forward to.

But he had dreams. He wanted to be a ventriloquist. He found books on the subject and he practiced with sock puppets, till finally he saved his hard-earned dollars to buy a real ventriloquist dummy.

When he was old enough, he joined the military. And even though many of his hypochondriac symptoms persisted, the military did recognise his talents and put him in the entertainment corp. That was when the world changed.

He gained confidence.

He found that he had a talent for making people laugh and laugh till they actually cried.

You know, folks, the history books are full of people who overcame a handicap to go on and to make a success of themselves, but Jesse is one of those who did not.

Instead he used his paranoia to make millions of dollars and became one of the best-loved characters

Get Connected!

of all time in doing it.

Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who transferred his nervousness into a successful career, still holds the record for the most Emmys given in a single category.

This wonderful, gifted, talented and nervous comedian who brought us so many wonderful memories as Deputy Barney Fife was Jesse Don Knotts. You know the rest of the story.

Uncle Bill’s advice to you: Dream big, follow those dreams, and let no one take those dreams away. Never take the words “no” or “you can’t” as an acceptable answer. Believe in yourself, as I believe in you.

Congratulations, graduating classes of 2010.

Your Town.

Keels ensures troops, cargo deploy downrange

BY LINDSEY MAURICE U.S. Air Force Tech Sgt.

With the U.S. military’s support of two war fronts, to include a major drawdown in Iraq and buildup in Afghanistan, airlift support of troops and supplies in and out of the war zone is critical.

This is where C-130E/H loadmasters such as Master Sgt. Gregory Keels, 737th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron superintendant, come in.

“My primary focus is the moving of combat troops and equipment in and out of the combat zone,” said the Thomasville, N.C., native deployed from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.

“The small piece of the airlift machine that our ramp coordination team provides is meeting and greeting every C-130 that takes-off and lands here.

More importantly, I assist aircrews in the loading and off-loading of cargo and passengers, as well as keeping relations smooth between the other organizations that make the mission go.”

A typical day in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility begins early in the morning for Sgt. Keels to make sure he is ready for the first “go” or takeoff of the day.

“Most morning flights have what we call ‘halftimes,’ which means they return to the base at least once during the mission and go back out again before mission termination,” he said, “So, midday gets extremely busy.

After a quick lunch, I have a little time to do some of the administrative duties that I’m responsible for.

“For instance, I’m the decoration processor for the 737th EAS, so all Air Medals and Aerial Achievement Medals cross my desk for review and corrections before going to the commander for processing. After 20 combat missions, air crew members are eligible for one of these decorations, so I will process close to 170 medals during my tenure.”

The senior NCO said he spends a few hours every day on administrative duties before heading back to the line to recover the morning launches. On the flight line, he assists air crews and maintainers in reconfiguring the aircraft to carry different loads and in completing preflight duties.

Keels said one of the most important aspects of his job is coordinating

between the various flying mission agencies.

“I pride myself on diffusing any disagreements that may arise between a crew and our maintenance or air terminal operations counterparts,” he said. “Building healthy relationships with these agencies is of the utmost importance to mission

‘Knowing that you are responsible for getting a young private home to his wife and 15month-old baby ... makes it all worth it.’

— Master Sgt. Gregory Keels accomplishment. Cooler heads always prevail, and intervening when a crew and maintenance [teams] are tired from long days, will go a long way to getting the mission done.”

The 17-year Air Force veteran said his job downrange is quite different from that at his home station.

“At home station, my job is more administrative in nature such as managing training, currency and deployment requirements for 57 loadmasters,” Keels said.

“Here in the AOR, getting the opportunity to put ‘eyes’ on every crew on a daily basis is crucial.”

While the senior NCO has a lot more interaction with the aircraft and crews on the flightline while here as the superintendant, he is still missing out on his favorite aspect of being a loadmaster more than he would like to.

“Flying is what I enjoy most,” he said, “which I don’t get to do much of in this position. Knowing that you are responsible for getting a young private home to his wife and 15-month old baby that he may have only seen in pictures, makes it all worth it.”

Now serving on his ninth deployment, his first six while serving as a vehicle maintainer in his previous career field, Keels said he understands the importance of deploying and appreciates the opportunity.

“I absolutely love the deployed mission we do,” Keels said. “Our primary mission at home is airdrop [training], so this is the only time we really get to ‘get in the fight’ so to speak. We did do some Haitian relief work right before the deployment which is the best part of what we can do with airlift - help those in need all over the globe.”

Keels is scheduled to redeploy to Dyess AFB this month.
