Fundraisers play a key role in the type of services non-profit organizations are able to offer. When economic times are tough, a Catch-22 scenario develops for non-profits, as donations drop while demand for services rise dramatically, making the need for community support even greater. So is the case for Fairgrove Family Resource Center (FFRC). Since the nationwide recession hit more than two years ago, community demand for services has doubled at FFRC as available funds dwindle. Fundraisers are more important than ever, and FFRC is

Council to vote on proposed budget BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Thomasville City Council will not only vote on the 2010-11 budget at its meeting next Monday, but it will also vote on two letters of support dealing with the Interstate-85 bridge project. One of the letters addresses the workforce used for the construction project and an attempt to keep the jobs local. “This resolution is in support of using local labor and local companies in the construction of the I-85 bridge,” City Manager Kelly Craver told the council. The first phase of the project — costing about $136 million — will be completed by Flatiron-Lane, a joint effort by Flatiron Construc-
tors, Inc., and the Lane Construction Corporation. The project will replace several bridges, including the I-85 bridge that spans over Yadkin River, and other improvements on the highway. Given the scale of the project, Craver said the effort to give locals the job could do wonders for the economy. “That’s a $400 million project that will span three yeas, so there will be many companies involved,” he said. “It will be great for the economy, especially if some local companies can get contracts or sub-contracts.” The other resolution involving the I-85 bridge would create the North Carolina Mobility Fund to finance this project and others like it. The money would come

Flags symbolize more than nationality BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer While flags might be labeled as a modern symbol, the idea of a banner by no means remains unique in this day and age. In fact, the concept of symbolic strips of cloth stretches back to biblical times and the days of myth, when profits and sons of gods rallied beneath banners dedicated to their holy ones. The modern flag has dropped the divine significance, but the message of strength and unity remains. And though the City of Thomasville didn’t formally celebrate Flag Day on Monday, paying respect to the meaning of the various flags in

That one symbol can stand for bravery, courage, death and independence.” The first state flag of North Carolina was officially established in 1861. On May 20, 1861, North

HEALTH
Stopping or not filling a prescription is a bad idea VIEWPOINT
XXXX Syndicated Columnist
Almost daily, I confront patients who elect to stop or not fill a recommended prescription. In the field of geriatrics, this is rarely life-threatening as the most frequently prescribed medications are those used to treat chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, back pain, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and depression. While noncompliance may not contribute to mortality rates, it seriously affects a physician’s ability to maintain healthy patients. Research clearly shows that continued compliance with a medical regimen is frequently a problem. Nearly half of patients elect to discontinue an effective medication, fail to follow the doctor’s advice, and either stop early or take their medications incorrectly. Many patients simply forget to take their medicine. Information just published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine evaluated non-adherence to medications in more than 75,000 patients treated by 1,217 medical prescribers. Only 78 percent of the nearly 200,000 prescriptions were filled, and of those prescriptions written for new medications, only 72 percent were filled. The study also found that compliance rates vary with the type of physicians who prescribe medication. For example, prescriptions were filled more often when written by a primary care physician, particularly pediatricians. Fewer prescriptions were filled if the physician was a specialist, younger, female or part of a group of more than 10 physicians. Prescriptions for patients under the age of 18 were more likely to be filled. Sadly, compliance was least likely in older patients with multiple chronic diseases, including high blood pressure (28.4 percent), elevated cholesterol (28.2 percent) and diabetes (31.4 percent). Patients fail to follow a doctor’s orders for various reasons. In many cases, cost is a concern. Patients without health insurance and those insured patients with high co-pays or deductibles may never fill a prescription. For many Medicare patients, medications are discontinued upon reaching the “doughnut hole” -- when insurance requires the patient to pay all costs up to $2,500.
Fortunately, health care reform will slowly eliminate this gap in coverage. The cost of medication is particularly problematic for older adults with multiple chronic illnesses and those on fixed incomes. However, cost is only one reason for poor prescription compliance. Potential side effects scare many patients from beginning a therapy. In addition, filling prescriptions seems to be partly assisted by the ease with which they can be obtained. For example, compliance appears to be higher at Kaiser Permanente hospitals and clinics, where patients can pick up drugs at a pharmacy on site. The key to improving compliance is education. Patients must understand the purpose of every prescribed medication. More importantly, they must know how benefits of the drug outweigh potential risks. Your doctor has an important role in explaining the value and need for a particular medication and providing understandable information on the prevalence of side effects. For virtually every medication used to treat chronic illnesses such as pain, high blood pressure, heart disease and osteoporosis, the true incidence of side effects is quite rare. Nevertheless, when side effects do occur, particularly if unexpected, they cause a great deal of alarm. I always advise my patients to discuss their medications with a trusted pharmacist, who plays a key role in education and minimizes the risks of side effects. Failure to take medications appropriately can lead to continued symptoms and progressive disease. Moreover, it contributes to poor health and rising medical costs. If possible, always talk to your physician or pharmacist before discontinuing a medication. Whatever the reason for noncompliance, you should not feel reluctant or embarrassed to tell your doctor that you have elected not to fill or continue taking a medication. If cost is a concern, discuss it immediately. Generic, low-cost medication may be available or different therapies may be appropriate. If side effects are unbearable, do not wait for several months to discuss it with your doctor. Call the clinic, make the doctor aware of the problem and find out whether there is an appropriate alternative.

Tough sell VIEWPOINT
PETER FUNT Syndicated Columnist
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, that BP could say in an ad that would change my thinking about the oil business or prompt me to buy BP gas. So it’s hard to fathom why BP continues to run so many expensive ads in the midst of the unchecked disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. But then, I’m probably as naive about advertising as I am about the oil business. I can’t honestly recall ever doing anything at the suggestion of an ad — except, perhaps, arrive at a movie theater at the proper time. That’s a powerful statement considering more than $100 billion is spent on advertising in the U.S. each year. Not to say all ads are bad. Some, like the radio spots that feature the humorist Tom Bodett have put a smile on my face for years. I love the sappy music, and I enjoy hearing Mr. Bodett say, “We’ll leave the light on for ya.” But I’ve never stayed at Motel 6; never even considered it. All the ads have reminded me is that if I ever run into Tom Bodett in a bar I’d like to buy him a drink. I love the fact that Dos Equis beer has used its ad dollars to identify the world’s most interesting person, albeit a fictitious fellow, and I applaud the fact that he’s honest enough to say, “I don’t always drink beer.” It’s particularly impressive that these entertaining ads survive despite press releases like the one from Dos Equis Brand Director Paul Smailes that includes in a single paragraph: “strategic understanding of the brand platform,” and “strong digital and social media experience.” Ironically, Mr. Smailes uses the very sort of obnoxious PR thinking that seems absent in his commercials, but must be exactly what BP’s ad team is talking about. Regardless, I’ve never tried the beer. Nor do I buy much Corona, although its ads set some kind of record for televised tranquility. The current batch feature folks on a beautiful beach, never saying a
word. In one spot, a guy is so blissed out he throws his cell phone into the ocean. A woman I work with said she really enjoys a Huggies commercial for designer diapers with the tag line: “You’ll never look so good pooping in your pants.” Would this influence a diaper purchase? No. My wife expressed fondness for a commercial touting the virtues of cotton, in which the actress Zooey Deschanel wears quirky, slightly retro cotton ensembles. Ever buy anything made of cotton as a result of the ad? Nope. What’s not to enjoy about the Mac vs. PC commercials? My hunch, however, is you’re either a PC person or a Mac type, and casting two lovable guys in the roles of digital devices isn’t going to change that. So, what hope does BP possibly have in swaying public opinion by boasting about its attempt to deal with disaster in the Gulf of Mexico by running ads that foolishly state, “our efforts will not come at any cost to taxpayers”? And, the insulting pledge to honor all “legitimate” claims? Adweek magazine was kind in a headline that reported, “BP’s ‘Appology’ Ad Not a Complete Disaster.” The magazine notes that although BP’s TV commercial rated “average” with viewers, “many consumers expressed their anger and unhappiness with BP.” No kidding. BP shot its commercial on a pristine beach with no tar balls or oil-coated pelicans in sight. President Obama expressed disappointment that BP would squander time and money on rehabilitating its image at a time when the last thing needed is public relations. In 1989, when the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound, the company spent $1.8 million on a newspaper ad that offered regret, but no acceptance of responsibility. “The accident has been receiving our full attention and will continue to do so,” said the ad about the largest spill in U.S. history. In its current print ad, BP pledges, “We will get this done. We will make this right.” One fears that they’re talking about developing a successful commercial, not cleaning up the oil. I’m still not buying.
The candidates’ challenge VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist As the primary runoff campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination draws to a close, it is fair to ask what has been the hardest challenge for the two candidates. I will tell you my answer in a minute. But first, I am going to give you the name of a useful book that every statewide political candidate should carry in the front seat of the car. Here is the book: The North Carolina Gazetteer, Second Edition: A Dictionary of Tar Heel Places and Their History. The new book is an update of the 1968 classic that was compiled by North Carolina history hero William Powell. Michael Hill from the N.C. Office of Archives and History updated Powell’s almost 20,000 entries and added about 1,800 new cities, towns, crossroads, waterways, islands, mountains, counties, and other geographical and historical points of interest. Now, what is the challenge for political candidates and how would this book help? Consider the experience of one U.S. Senate campaign in which the candidate was invited to give a speech at “the courthouse in Rockingham.” On the appointed date, the candidate arrived at the courthouse in Rockingham in Richmond County near the South Carolina border.
Finding the courthouse doors locked, he wondered why not a single supporter had shown up to greet him. Meanwhile, at the Rockingham County Courthouse in Wentworth, not far from the Virginia border, the small group that had gathered to greet the candidate gradually dispersed, wondering why he had not shown up. With a quick look at page 448 of the Gazetteer, the candidate would have noted the two Rockinghams and their different locations. Also, he could have gotten a little interesting history to add to his speech — noting, perhaps, that Rockingham (both city and county) and Wentworth were named for the same man, Charles Watson-Wentworth, Marquis of Rockingham and a British Prime Minister who had been friendly to the American colonies. Travelers in North Carolina, as well as candidates, get confused because so many county seats carry the names of counties other than their own. For instance, Asheboro is the county seat of Randolph County and Asheville is the county seat of Buncombe County. The county seat of Ashe County is West Jefferson. The county seat of Washington County is Plymouth, not Washington (Little Washington), which is the county seat of Beaufort County. Beaufort is the county seat of Carteret County. The Greene county seat is Snow Hill, not Greensboro (county seat of Guilford) or Greenville (country seat of Pitt). Pittsboro, meanwhile, is county seat of Chatham County. Jackson County’s seat is Sylva, not Jackson (county seat of Northampton) or Jacksonville (county seat of Onslow).
There are more. Columbus is county seat of Polk; Lenoir of Caldwell; Graham of Alamance; Franklin of Macon; Waynesville of Haywood; Yanceyville of Caswell; and Henderson of Vance (although Hendersonville is, appropriately, the county seat of Henderson County.) The Gazetteer takes care of this confusion about counties and county seats and other things that create problems for statewide political candidates, who sometimes mispronounce the names of the places where they campaign, places like Robeson County (ROB-uh-son, according to the Gazetteer), Rowan County (ROW-an), Tyrrell County (Tir-ehl) and Beaufort (BOE-furt). I hope future editions will tell candidates and young public radio reporters how we pronounce Salisbury and Concord. Also thanks to the Gazetteer, our U.S. Senate candidate could develop his or her foreign policy resume by visiting places like Warsaw, Belgrade, Dublin, Lisbon, Bolivia, and Arabia, without ever leaving North Carolina. If you are looking for a gift for your favorite political candidate or any other “serious North Carolinian,” the Gazetteer might be the answer to your challenge. Note: Michael Hill is scheduled to talk about the Gazetteer at UNC-Chapel Hill Saturday, July 24th, as part of a meeting of the Cumming Map Society. D.G. Martin hosts UNCTV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www. unctv.org/ncbookwatch/.

FLAGS From page 1 Carolina not only adopted the secession resolution but also acknowledged an ordinance for a state flag presented by Col. John D. Whitford. Whitford’s original idea designed the state banner as a blue field with a white V and a star, with the words “sirgit astrum, May 20, 1775.” But when the sevenperson committee tasked with designing the flag consulted with Raleigh artist William Jarl Browne, his model was a banner with a red vertical stripe on the left side, called a field, with two horizontal bars – blue on the top and white on the bottom. A white five-pointed star sat centered on the field, with the date May 20, 1775, above and May 20, 1861 – the date North Carolina declared secession – below. The 1775 date marks the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, though many historians now doubt that document’s authenticity. During the Civil war, North Carolina Regiments of the Confederate army carried the state flag into battle. But, like many secession states, once the Civil War ended with the Union as victors, the state flag’s design was revised. In March, 1885, Gen.
LINK From page 1 nations are down and our program demand is up.” When Nelson came to FFRC eight years ago, her organization served around 50 meals a month. This year, the number is between 700 and 800 per month. Throw in the fact that government funding is down by 20 percent and FFRC is facing a financial crisis. With the unemployment rate in Davidson County still in double-digits, Nelson said the number of people needing financial support to help pay rent, utility bills and buy groceries has risen 200 percent. “We’re looking at all these people with tremendous need and we don’t have the resources to provide what they need,” said Nelson. “That’s the purpose of having fundraisers like the golf tournament, is to try help us get the resources so we can keep offering the programs people have come to expect from us.” In addition to monetary support FFRC offers, the non-profit also has numerous programs directed at families who are struggling. Parenteducation classes help people with children deal with stress — a problem that affects the entire family. FFRC also does a food backpack program with Thomasville and Davidson County schools for children who aren’t getting enough food at home. “It’s very, very difficult
FROM PAGE 1 FLAG DAY HISTORY The idea of Flag Day originated in 1885 when a schoolteacher in Fredonia, Wis., BJ Cigrand, set aside June 14 for students to celebrate as the flag’s birthday. After much encouragement by Cigrand in educational magazines, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, George Balch, planned some Flag Day activities for students at his school in 1889, and the State Board of Education of New York adopted the observance of Flag Day. Various groups and school continued to pick up on Flag Day celebrations for three decades until on May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially established Flag Day as the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777. But it wasn’t until Aug. 3, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designation June 14 as National Flag Day. Johnstone Jones presented a resolution to change the North Carolina flag. The red field became blue, and the top horizontal bar switched to red. The letters N and C were placed on either side of the star, and scrolls above and below the star read with two dates: the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence remained on top, but the secession date was replaced with April 12, 1776, the date of the Halifax Resolve, when North Carolina sent delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence. These dates – particularly the replacement of the succession date with
the more unifying date of the Halifax Resolve – reflects the central role that state flags play. The American flag provides an over-arching sense of unity and strength, a patriotism and loyalty to the country as a whole. But the individual state flags have an important part in the system, reflecting each municipality’s individuality and domestic ideals as well as commemorating particular aspects in state history. “North Carolina is a state that stands for geographical beauty, with the mountains and the coast but also with the people,” Scott said. “The tar heel state, whether
to try and keep a nonprofit in a position where we can provide the quality of service we have in the past,” Nelson said. “The economy is in such rough shape and donations are down. Everything is a challenge for non-profits right now and this is where we lean on the community and ask for their support. “We’ve seen a enormous increase in the number of people who need emergency assistance. As far as need goes, that is where most of the problem lies because people have lost their jobs, their unemployment has run out, and they can’t even pay for basic essentials. That’s where we come into play.” FFRC first had its golf tournament in 2005 and had hoped on making it an annual event until the economy forced the organization to forgo the fundraiser last year. By having it on a Wednesday, hopes are more people will be interested and willing to help. Entry fees cost $60 per person or $240 for a four-person team. Fees include a hot dog lunch, beverages and snacks during the round of golf, a goody bag and a mulligan. Local businesses can sponsor holes through a tax-deductible donation, and cash awards will be available for the top-three teams. Prizes also will be handed out to closest to the pin, longest drive and a putting contest. Nelson hopes at least 25 teams will participate. For more information on the golf tournament, call FFRC at 472-7217.

OBITUARIES you’re a Carolina fan or not, stands for a state that stands for its principals and doesn’t budge in the face of danger.” Most state flag’s, like North Carolina’s, have some tribute to history, an important aspect in such a strong symbol, Scott says. “If you don’t learn from and at least recall the past, then it’s hard to move forward,” he said. “As people are reminded of the bravery, the courage, the things that people went though fighting for independence, even if it’s just done one day a year, I think that helps – to be proud that you’re a North Carolinian and be proud that you’re an American.” And while Flag Day in a large part assists with that recognition, the celebration doesn’t just extend to the banners of the country and the states. Scott says that a resurgence in displaying flags – from patriotic to decorative – has occurred in the past few years. Some people place flags in their garden, displaying a hummingbird to express their love for birds or flowers. Others place small banners of their favorite sports teams on their house or their car. “A flag can bring attention to itself by waving in the wind,” Scott said. “It’s a chance for people to show what something means to them.”

HiToms watch early lead vanish BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor
CALENDAR WEDNESDAY CPL
Asheboro @ HiToms noon
A promising start for the struggling HiToms Sunday evening turned out to be just another disappointing loss on the season. After scoring five runs in the first inning, the Tommies failed to put another run on the board, surrendering a 7-5, Coastal Plain League loss to Gastonia at rainsoaked Finch Field. It was the sixth time the HiToms (4-12) have lost by two or less runs.
“We are tying to keep everybody up, but it is getting frustrating,” said HiToms skipper Tom Dorzweiler. “The little things we are not doing right now in order to win a ballgame. I guess I take the blame for us letting up or whatever. I do not know what happened.” Gastonia put a twospot on the scoreboard in the first inning off starter Ben Grisz, but the offense for the HiToms quickly responded with
five in the bottom half. Tyler Frederick, David Roney, Daniel Kassouf and Mike Patman each accounted for RBIs, as the Grizzlies’ Brandon Padgett lasted only 2/3 of an inning. The HiToms still threatened with two men aboard, but Matt Dillon popped out to third base to end the frame. “We really jumped on them and that is something we have been trying to work on,” Dorz-
weiler said. “We have cut down on our strikeouts and are more aggressive.” Gastonia grabbed one run back in the third, but the bullpen of the HiToms was able to hold steady through the middle innings. The Grizzlies looked to their bullpen again to stay within reach, and they wound up getting a superb outing from Kevin Kirksey. He bailed his teammate

NASCARMedia.com BROOKLYN, Mich.— Denny Hamlin sucked the drama right out of Sunday’s Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway — because his car was so vastly superior to the 42 others in the field. “All we do is win, baby — two in a row,” Hamlin radioed to his crew just before crossing the finish line 1.246 seconds ahead of Kasey Kahne, the only other driver who could stay in the same zip code with Hamlin. “I can’t tell you how good this car is, man.” Hamlin was more than good enough to win for a career-best fifth time this season and for the 13th time in his career. He backed up last week’s victory at Pocono with his fifth win in the past 10 races. Polesitter Kurt Busch ran third, followed by Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. Jimmie Johnson finished sixth, with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind him in seventh.

Kurt Busch (No. 2) and Jamie McMurray (No. 1) lead the field to the green flag for the start of Sunday’s Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle and Joey Logano completed the top 10. Hamlin’s victory tightened the Cup points race because of mediocre results from the top two drivers in the standings, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch. Harvick finished 19th, one spot ahead of Busch, and leads Busch by 22 points and thirdplace Hamlin by 47. Stewart gained two positions to 11th in the standings. If Hamlin stole the suspense from the race, a debris caution on Lap 182 of 200 threatened to restore it. At that point, Hamlin had a lead of
more than nine seconds over Kahne. “That’s what a ninesecond lead will get you,” crew chief Mike Ford radioed laconically to Hamlin after the yellow flag flew. The caution bunched the field for a restart on Lap 187, but after Kahne dogged Hamlin for the next five laps, Hamlin began to pull away by more than a tenth of a second per lap. All told, Hamlin led 123 laps. Kurt Busch led 60 laps but showed his strength early while Hamlin was moving forward from the seventh starting position. “We had a strong car
early on,” Busch said. “It seems like we lost a little bit of speed as the race went on, lost a little grip when the track rubbered in. … Denny Hamlin, once halfway rolled around, his car had really good grip. “The track got rubbered in, and his car just kept gaining speed, and ours lost a little bit of speed.” To Hamlin, the final caution was inevitable. Kahne said he saw a big piece of debris on the backstretch. Hamlin said he saw no debris. “I knew a caution was coming, so I might as well back off and save my tires,” Hamlin said.
“I knew that debris caution was coming. We’ve got to do what’s right for the fans, and they need to see a great race at the end. The best car won— and that’s all you can ask for.” Nine Ford teams were running the new FR9 engine Sunday. Kahne said it made a difference. “We had the new Ford engine, and it was night and day difference to what I had last week,” he said. “I’m really happy with the FR9 engine. For our first time racing it, it was a nice improvement. I think that bodes well

Lee Jeffreys celebrates his victory in the first modified race Saturday night.
The recent “Madhouse” television show placed a lot of attention on a few select drivers at Bowman Gray Stadium, but Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg is determined to make sure that the fans know his name too. While Tim Brown and Burt Myers turned in disappointing qualifying times, Jeffreys soared during his qualifying run. The No. 77 car of Jeffreys had the second fastest time of the night, with the pole going to Terry Gaither of Walkertown.
Jeffreys was able to beat Gaither into turn one during the first lap to take over the lead. He then sped away from the field in dominant fashion to take the checkered for the first 25-lapper for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. “It’s a tough one tonight, it’s hot,” said Jeffreys, who understands that the key to his victory on Saturday was his fast qualifying lap. “A lot of the other guys had some problems,” said Jeffreys. “It rained this afternoon

SPORTS VANISH From page 7 out of a jam in the fourth, and kept on cruising. Kirksey struck out five over the final innings, allowing just a single in the ninth. Gastonia took the lead for good in the seventh, scoring three runs to go up 6-5. Zach Luevanos tacked on the exclamation point in the eighth, hammering a pitch off the netting in right field for a solo home run. With six more players expected to show up in the coming days, Dorzweiler is desperately trying to keep team morale up. With the first half pennant nearing completion and the HiToms well behind, the coach is hoping the final half of the season will produce bet-
CLAIM From page 7 and we didn’t know what the track was going to be like. We ended up second in qualifying, we got a good jump on them, and everything worked out well.” Gaither fell in right behind Jeffreys to take second. John Smith of Mount Airy claimed third. The race didn’t end so favorably for Jason Myers of Walnut Cove or Junior Miller of Danbury. Myers was bumped out of the way as he and Miller raced. Myers then returned the favor by ramming the car of Miller. Myers was forced to pit. Miller attempted to race on, despite a bent nerf bar which was applying pressure to his tire and creating a stream of smoke behind the No. 69 car. When the race restarted, Miller couldn’t keep up the pace and was nudged to the side by Zach Brewer of WinstonSalem. The Four Seasons Home Improvement “Madhouse Scramble” sent Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem to the pole for the start of the second Modified race. On the outside pole was Chris Fleming of Mount Airy . Brown, who had finished in last place in both of last week’s races due to mechanical problems, was aching for a win. He grabbed the lead as the green flag fell but quickly had to deal with shots to the bumper from Fleming. Then, as Brown began to pull away from Fleming, John Smith moved up to second place and put the pressure on Brown. But the No. 53 car of Brown was able to stay up front to take the victory. “It’s going to get the whole morale of the team back up, because we’ve been pretty down on ourselves lately. I’m sure everybody will be pumped up after this,” said Brown. John Smith finished second. Lee Jeffreys, who fought his way up from 10th, finished in third. In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Taylor Branch of Lewisville brought home the win in the first race with Kyle Edwards of King and Tommy Neal of Walkertown second and third. Barry Edwards claimed victory in the second race with Kevin Neal second.
ter outcomes. “The season is still early and we have a long way to go, so we are going to keep digging and plugging away,” he said. “We want to get some momentum going now and be ready for the second half.” Notes: Frederick was the only HiTom with multiple hits ... Gastonia stole six bases for the night ... The game was delayed an hour due to heavy rains .
