Site makes ticket payment easier BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Getting a traffic ticket is never fun. If the sting to the wallet isn’t bad enough, finding the time to go and take care of the citation turns the matter into more of a hassle and inconvenience than anything else. A new online system implemented by the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (NCAOC) is making the process a little more tolerable. PayNCticket gives people who

GET A TICKET? PAY ONLINE! North Carolina residents who have a waivable traffic citation, such as speeding or seat belt violation can pay fines online at www.payNCticket.org receive a waivable traffic citation the chance to settle their debt to society online without ever having to step into a courtroom or clerks office. “The payNCticket system is a major step forward toward increasing the North Carolina court system’s online capacities and meeting the technological

needs of citizens as well as court officials and staff,” Judge John W. Smith, NCAOC director, said. “It provides a more convenient payment option for citizens, and it allows for quicker disposition of cases due to automatic updates of case records.” Launched as a pilot program in March, payNCticket is pro-

cessing an average of around $24,000 a day, keeping more than 4,000 people out of already congested courtrooms across the state. North Carolina handles more than half a million waivable offense citations per year, and before the introduction of the new system, payment had to be made in person or by mail, costing court systems key man hours during a time where financial restraints due to the poor economy are forcing state agencies to do more with less.

a roll and dessert.

TPD launches new website BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville Police Department has launched a new website that will give citizens more access to crime statistics, personnel and upcoming events. Since coming to the Chair City last year, TPD chief Jeff Insley’s vision of a transparent department has unfolded on numerous fronts, and the new website is a continuation of his open-book policy. “We want to make sure the citizens know what it is we’re doing as an agency,” Insley said. “We

TPD ONLINE Find news, events, districts and crime statistics at www.ci.thomasville.nc.us feel this a good way to keep them informed because people are becoming a whole lot more reliant on the computer than they are on regular mail or print. We’re hoping this will keep them informed on what’s going and who to call if they have an issue.” Designed by Davidson County Community College student Andy

Wolfe, the site’s home page follows the traditional black and white color scheme being implemented on new TPD squad cars with logos of the department’s badge and memorial statue. The site can be easily accessed through the City of Thomasville’s website at www.ci.thomasville.nc.us. “That’s the design the chief liked best, using the design from the new police cars,” said Wolfe. “They just kind of told me they wanted this, this and this on it, and I went from there. They left the look of it up to me.”

Gov. Perdue greets BCH children at capitol TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH – Children and staff members from Baptist Children’s Homes (BCH) of North Carolina’s Broyhill Home in Clyde were personally hosted by Gov. Bev Perdue on Thursday, July 1, and given an insider’s tour of the Capitol building. The group began their day at the Executive Mansion where First Gentleman Bob Eaves greeted them after they had toured the grounds of the Governor’s residence. Eaves had the “first dogs� Dosie & Zipper to assist him in welcoming the children. Volunteer docents led the group through an informative presentation of the first floor rooms. “This is a great honor for us,� BCH president

Michael C. Blackwell said. “For many of our children, this is the first time to see where the Governor both lives and works. To have a personal tour made each boy and girl truly feel special. It was a day of memorymaking.� After walking the three blocks from the Mansion to the Capitol, Governor Perdue met the children on the steps of the historic building and was greeted by enthusiastic applause and wide-eyed interest. This is the second time Broyhill Home residents have visited with Governor Perdue. The first was when she visited the western NC campus as Lieutenant Governor in 2007. At that visit, BCH’s Western Area Director Linda Morgan presented Perdue with a large quilt that the children had per-

sonalized with painted imprints of their hands, which later included Perdue’s. Today, the quilt is displayed in the hall near the Governor’s office. Perdue, Blackwell, BCH children, and staff members stood with the quilt for a photo. Before and after the photo, the Governor greeted each child individually before addressing the entire group. “Remember,� she told the children, “it is important for you to finish high school. Go for technical training, attend community college, or get your four-year degree. You can do anything! But whatever you choose to become, it begins with your education.� To learn more about Baptist Children’s Homes, visit BCH’s website at www.bchfamily.org.

FOCUS Piedmont Crossing receives 5-star rating

Embarrassing moments MUSICALLY SPEAKING

JOSEF WALKER Guest Columnist

Embarrassing moments happen for everyone and that includes professional musicians. It is unfortunate that they sometimes happen in church. Over my lifetime, I’ve had more than my fair share of them. I thought I’d share a few that have happened right here in Thomasville. I have asked permission of the people I mention in this article and you can ask any number of people in town if this is true and they will assure you that it is. I served as organist of First United Methodist Church here for 13 years. For six of those years, The Reverend R. Marsden Kitley, OSL, was pastor of the church. You may ask what is “OSL” it stands for Order of St. Luke. Members of this order pay extraordinary attention to the “rituals” of the church, church history, the order of worship, religious paraments, the processional cross and the like. Most of us would call this “high church” and for Marsden it certainly was. I very much enjoyed serving with Rev. Kitley but some of the most embarrassing things happened during his pastorate. One such incident hap-

pened on the morning we were installing church officers, which happened annually around the first Sunday of the year at FUMC. During his sermon, I felt “inspired” and thought to myself, wouldn’t it be a great idea to play something special when he called the new church officers forward to assume their roles of leadership. The perfect thing, I thought, would be to play “A Charge to Keep I have, a God to Glorify” and I would play this on the chimes and accompany it with the string division of the organ. There were indicator lights on the console so that the player would know if the stop was in the “on” or “off ” position. The light over the chime stop was a bit dimmer than the other stops and I wasn’t sure if it was on or not. When I leaned forward to investigate, I lost my balance and fell elbows first onto the keyboard. The resulting sound was something between a Chinese fire drill and a huge bag of bells being thrown down a flight of stairs. Rev. Kitley stopped mid-prayer to make sure I was still living before he resumed the prayer, the choir thought I had a seizure, and there were audible gasps from the congregation. All of this was punctuated by the laughter from kids in the balcony. I survived the service but barely so and people still kid me about the Sunday I played the “bell solo” at First. On another occasion, when the sermon had lasted a little bit too long, the pastor announced that we would stand and sing only the first and last stanza of “O God, Our Help in Ages Past.” Although there are six

TIMES STAFF REPORT

stanzas to the hymn, the first and last stanzas are identical and are are only two sentences long. Then there was the time he announced that rather than singing the last hymn as printed in the bulletin we would be singing … and he turned to me from the pulpit and said; “what’s the name of that hymn, Josef.” I had no clue what he was talking about since he had not told me about the change and I wasn’t about to ask him to hum the tune since he couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. But this is not yet the most embarrassing experience with him. I will write about it later. It was my most memorable funeral in Thomasville, and I’m sure it was memorable to everyone who attended as well. I was very fond of Rev. R. Marden Kitley and his family. He was a wonderful pastor and I still use the loose-leaf hymnal given me, and for every service of Holy Communion, I wear his cincture that his family gave me with my white alb. In spite of a few faux pas, he made it easy for me to keep a song in my heart.

Piedmont Crossing’s Health Center was recently awarded a Five Star Rating by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which they may want to ask questions. This quality rating system gives each skilled care facility a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. Those with 5 stars are considered to have much

above average quality. “We’re pleased to be recognized for the quality of our health care services,” said Donna Sprinkle, executive director of Piedmont Crossing. “Piedmont Crossing nursing staff does an outstanding job of putting resident care first, and this recognition is a testament to that.” The ratings are given based on a variety of factors including health surveys, quality measures and staffing. Piedmont Crossing is a not for profit retirement community on 61 acres in Thomasville. For more information, call at (336) 474-3605.

County reports 5th case of rabies TIMES STAFF REPORT

The Davidson County Health Department reports the fifth case of rabies for the year. On June 28, a rabid fox was found in the Hasty community. The fox was in a fight with two dogs and bit a person. Neither dog was properly vaccinated and both have been destroyed. The person was referred to a physician for medical follow up. Do not handle an ani-

mal with bare hands after it has had contact with a wild animal. Saliva from the wild animal may still be present on the domestic animal’s fur and by handling the animal, a person may be exposed to the rabies virus. Anyone noticing any stray dogs, cats, or wildlife in a neighborhood, call Animal Control at 249-0131. Call the Rabies Hot Line at 242-2348 if a pet comes in contact with another animal.

The daily content VIEWPOINT

PETER FUNT Syndicated Columnist You have here what I’d humbly call an “opinion column.” Fact is, you can call this 665-word missive anything you like, as long as you don’t call it “content.” For those who take their creativity seriously, content has become a dirty word. With so much space to fill on the Internet and the cable dial, not to mention satisfying the seemingly endless needs of iThis and iThat, it’s all about content. I’ve sat through lengthy industry dissertations about how media can’t get enough video content, audio content and, of course, written content, but I don’t ever recall anyone mentioning “good” content. Imagine going to a restaurant hoping to get a culinary treat and instead learning you’ll be served a plate of “kitchen content.” How about if you went to pick up your suit at the cleaners and were handed a bag of “laundry content.” If this were only a semantic shortcut it would be no big deal. But lumping together the efforts of writers, musicians, videographers and so many other hard working creative folks and calling it content is not only demeaning, it’s also part of the mindset that devalues creativity – by under paying, plagiarizing and repackaging it to the disadvantage of reputable creators. Much of what’s published on the Internet these days comes from companies known as “content farms.” It’s difficult to imagine a more abhorrent term for what passes as journalism, but it’s a billion-dollar business at places like Demand Media, a leading farm that harvests roughly 4,000 “pieces of content” each day. On its own sites, such as eHow.com and Golflink.com, as well as for outside clients ranging from the newspaper USA Today to the fashion guru Tyra Banks, Demand develops its content by monitoring words and topics sought in Internet searches, then paying freelancers to write short articles and videos to address the supposed need.

One eHow contributor named “Jenajera” describes herself as a mother of four living in the Pacific Northwest and a “paralegal-turnedSEO-writer.” (SEO is a slick term meaning “search engine optimization.”) She has written such reports as “How to Determine the Value of Scrap Gold” and “How to Choose a Site for a Backyard Chicken Coop.” But perhaps her most enlightening piece is “How to Make Money Writing eHow Articles,” in which she notes that her most recent story “has earned me nearly $1 in less than a week” — from ad revenue that Demand Media shares with some writers on top of a fee of about $15. Her advice: “The key to optimizing your earnings is to create a large cache of targeted, keyword heavy articles quickly.” Also: “You will make more money from your eHow articles if you choose topics that are well supported by advertisers.” I have no beef with Jenajera or thousands of others like her, who undoubtedly work hard for each dollar Demand Media pays them. But, as the axiom has it, you get what you pay for, and it’s fair to say readers of Demand’s content aren’t getting much. Still, low-cost, low-quality content has certain appeal. Media analyst Tish Grier, writing for the respected Poynter journalism site, goes so far as to suggest that companies like Demand Media could help struggling newspapers stay afloat by providing “edited, optimized evergreen content at reasonable cost.” That’s true, I suppose, just as optimized toys can be purchased at reasonable cost from China. It remains a possibility that as new media become more established, and the fascination wears off, things will change for the better. After all, the earliest material for television involved harvesting content from radio, until viewers demanded more. And when cable emerged as a programming force, ESPN, for example, cared so little about the quality of its fare that it devoted hours to rugby and Australian Rules Football, until fans grew tired of cheap sports content. In the end, it’s not all just “content,” anymore than it’s all just laundry, which is why the public must continue to demand the most from its media.

Living up to ideals of Democracy VIEWPOINT

MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist There is a trend occurring across America of late that has people feeling more comfortable about stating their views openly toward groups of people they don’t like. Sometimes it’s been a group with a different ethnic background, sometimes it’s been a religious practice and sometimes sexual orientation. All of it may be a reaction to having a sitting black President, a Great Recession that has cost millions their jobs, or just fear over changing demographics. It’s difficult to say exactly what’s causing it but what’s more surprising is how little anyone is saying about the rising vitriol. Now it’s seeping into our legislation such as in Arizona where it’s possible to stop someone and ask for proof of citizenship, whether they were first breaking a law or not. It would be very easy to decry the law at face value but that would do nothing more than to create more frustration on both sides. It’s time to stop expressing righteous anger without listening for a common ground. Arizona has suffered economically for years from a wave of people illegally crossing the border from Mexico and has asked repeatedly for help with no real response from the federal government. What’s needed is a forum where both sides can work together on a common solution. Both sides, in this instance, are Arizona farm-

ers and businesses who are feeling an economic impact and the Hispanic community who are here legally and deserve to go about their business without being stopped by the police as some sort of citizenship litmus test. However, there’s a more insidious form of discrimination boiling up as well. There are planks in both the Texas and Montana GOP’s platforms that openly state that homosexuality should be viewed as a criminal act. Montana’s GOP plank says, ‘We support the clear will of the people of Montana expressed by legislation to keep homosexual acts illegal.’ The Texas GOP plank brings an interpretation of God’s will into it and goes on to add, ‘We are opposed to any granting of special entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges…’ and lists custody of children or access to insurance or retirement benefits as out of the question. They also want to keep the courts in our bedrooms by keeping certain sexual acts illegal between consenting adults. Police could break in and arrest people, much like they did in the South back when it was illegal for people of different races to marry or have consensual relations. The current Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell dropped protection for gay or lesbian state workers opening the door for discrimination but after citizens protested, had to reverse the decision and said it was all a misunderstanding. This current trend boils down to the idea that US citizens could be denied rights or even their liberty based on who they are and who they love because homosexuality goes against what some other American citizens believe is righteous. That’s the part that flies in the face of a democratic state and is the slippery road we all not only need to stay off of but defend others from, even when we hotly disagree or don’t understand.

The most difficult parts of democracy are the places where we are rubbed raw from disagreement. This is also the space where we have the opportunity to stand up and do the right thing, thereby honoring the sacrifices made by everyone who has ever defended our right to congregate and express free speech, starting with the men who met in secret in 1776 to argue things over and ended up starting a revolution. Who someone else chooses to love and care for does not impinge on who I choose as a partner or a spouse. If I don’t agree with them I am free to ignore them and there have been plenty of neighbors that I chose to ignore on the grounds of stories that went on way too long, too much poisonous gossip and once over garden encroachments. But I also defend their right to blather on and I freely admit I’m powerless to control their lives. I thank the same God who is getting thrown around by others for that last part because I know at some point someone would disagree with me over something and my choices could disappear. Believe it or not, I’ve been known to get on people’s nerves from time to time. There are boundaries, of course, and there always need to be when large groups of people decide to become a society. But denying basic freedoms of any kind isn’t where the limits reside. The practice of democracy is always going to be difficult but the fruits of our labors will always be rewarded. We receive a uniquely American ability to believe that our future is resplendent with the possibilities and we dream of things to come. That is the large truth and it’s why so many people want to live in America in the first place. Martha’s latest book is the memoir, A Place to Call Home. www.MarthaRandolphCarr. com.

RIDE From page 1

The ride, which will last about an hour-and-ahalf, is escorted and coordinated by police. All of the turns onto major roads have been carefully scheduled so that officers can get to those points on time and redirect traffic so that the bikers never have to stop. The route also was changed this year — instead of riding in the southern, rural part of the county, Laura Owen, director of communications and development for Hospice, said they rearranged things so that the route would pass by Hospice. “It’s a good connection as to why we’re doing the ride,” Owen said. “It’s a beautiful rural route.” After the ride, motorcyclists and spectators alike are welcome to enjoy a time of fun and entertainment back at the farmpark, complete with on-site vendors, food,

passes, a weekend getaway at High Rock Lake, pillows, lamps, handmade quilts and more. All of the items — and much of the dinner supplies — were donated by contacts of Mullins’ friends. And the group expects a good turnout. Tickets have already been selling well, and Rebecca Sink, event organizer and good friend of Mullins since age 14, hopes to serve around 800. “I would love to fill that church and then some,” Sink said. “I have faith that it can happen.” Sink originally planned the fundraiser as a way to pay some of Mullins’ bills and medical expenses. When the young woman was diagnosed with cancer, she lost her job and her health insurance shortly after, leaving finances a bit tight. “It was just a tumble of events from there,” Sink said. “She did chemo, radiation, the whole nine yards, but the cancer just kept spreading.” Mullins then found out that there wasn’t much more that the doctors could do. She was placed on life support, and died on June 9.

Though Hospice hopes to raise around $10,000 or more, exceeding last year’s $8,000 with 200 riders, Owen says that recognition plays just as much of a role in the fundraising effort. “It’s not just the money, it’s the awareness too,” She said. “It’s a great show of support, and it reminds people how wonderful it is that we have an agency that is a viable and strong health care service provider in Davidson County. The money really goes a long way, but the awareness really has a much greater impact because it continues to connect people to us.” As a non-profit, Hospice depends on community support to help

“I told her before she left us that the show would go on,” Sink said. The event’s goal then took on an alternate purpose — to raise money for Josie’s care. The 4year-old will live with her grandparents, Gibson and his wife, Judy. “They will use anything we raise to help finalize things with Jenny that were left behind and undone, and the rest will be put towards Josie, like the education front,” Sink said. The little girl herself has started to more fully comprehend what happened, Sink says. “She finally understands,” she said. “Her ‘Poppy’ and I were always at the hospital, and she was always with her grandmother. Now we’re not at the hospital anymore, we’re always around. She knows her mommy’s in heaven with Jesus.” Sink said a pediatric grief specialist has spoken with the girl’s grandparents about walking a child through grief. Though the journey has been hard, it’s been a process. “She has her days, she has her moments where she doesn’t want to go to sleep at night and she misses her mommy,” Sink said. “We take it one

Owen says that caring for a patient in the comfort of his or her own home costs more than $100 a day, and folks living in the in-patient facility use more than $500 a day in services. “We’re constantly looking to raise money so we never have to turn anyone away,” Owen said.

While a majority of the bikers who participate in Ride for Angels have a connection to Hospice through a family member, many just come out for the fun of the event and the cause. “People are crazy about their bike riding, and then there are people who just look for benefits and charities,” Owen said. “People like to show off

Being a single mom is hard enough as it is, and then faced with getting sick and losing your job

Davidson County began implementing the system in May. “I’m already surprised by the use of payNCticket,” said Davidson County Clerk of Court Brian Shipwash. “Through June, we collected $5,223 of citation fees and fines via this program. Within the first month, we’ve already seen a benefit and it’s two-fold. The person who receives the ticket gains the ability to not have to come to court and pay online from their home. It helps us with resources. The state has us in the middle of hiring freezes and it helps with the transaction and alleviates some of the traffic in the court room. It’s a win-win for everyone, and I’m glad to see this kind of technology used by the court system.” Waivable offenses like minor speeding and seat belt violations will be listed on any traffic citation, stating that a person doesn’t have to appear in court. Shipwash did say that by paying the ticket online means a person is pleading guilty to the offense which may lead to insurance issues. Shipwash advised talking to an insurance agent before paying the ticket off. “What’s beautiful about the whole thing is that is takes a lot work off our staff,” Shipwash said. “When somebody pays online, it’s automatically entered into our computer system as paid and removed form the court calendar. This type of automation is helping us to not have to hire new people. That’s what technology is for. So far, it has been seamless.” Shipwash hopes that technology’s roles in the court system will continue to grow and people will be able to pay tickets using a credit or debit card, something that is not yet available. Payments can be at www.payNCticket.org.

Links on the site offer detailed information on the new city districts and what officer a citizen can contact with a problem. Crime statistics will be updated monthly and will be compared to numbers from a year ago. For example, violent crimes such as murder, rape and assault are down 56 percent from 2009 while property crimes like burglary and arson are up 4 percent. “People can now pull up their street and know what district they are in,” said Insley. “They’ll know which commander to contact when they have a problem. This is a first step in being open and getting the information out to the community. It also addresses concerns I’ve heard since I’ve been here regarding not being able to get in touch with us. The new site enhances our accountability and if someone hasn’t gotten

You’re fighting cancer, you shouldn’t have to cry over a stack of bills.”

the answer they’re looking for, we can find out why.” Thomasville’s most wanted criminals will be featured on the site and a link leads directly to a Crime Stoppers form for anyone who has important information for police and wish to remain anonymous. Scheduled events also will be listed and a photo gallery highlights daily activities around the city. “The new site will be a real asset to the community,” Maj. James Mills said. “It’s all about transparency and the chief wants to share this information with the citizens of Thomasville. This will be a valuable tool in helping TPD move forward into the 21st Century.” Contact information for all TPD’s administrative team is available, as well as representatives from all three city districts, field operations and investigations.

their bikes and connect to other riders from all over. It really is nice that we have such strong, local support and also that people are coming from outside the area.” And for many of the riders, the event represents more than just a ride. “It’s the ride, it’s the cause,” Owen said. “Another beautiful thing that happens that day is that you hear stories. Hospice is such a unique health care service for people. It allows for a more supportive and more complete and more resolved end-of-life experience that is very meaningful.” After three years, some riders have become friends, connecting over their shared experience with Hospice. Ride for Angles gives people an outlet to share experiences and grieve together. “You see some of these really colorful people who are bike riders, and they’re tearing and they’re hugging,” Owen said. “It’s an emotional thing.”

Ironically, the day of the event — which just so happened to fit everyone’s schedule the best — also happens to be National Bladder Cancer Awareness Day, a fact Sink was told after she and her friends had set the date. The coincidence goes hand in hand with the event’s other purpose, to get the word out about less mainstream types of cancer. “As with any cancer, awareness is the reason,” Sink said. “Early diagnosis makes all the difference in the world. If Jenny had been able to get diagnosed earlier, I know in my heart things would be different.” Though the Gibsons have let Sink and her friends take care of most of the arrangements, the full meaning of what they’re doing hasn’t gone unnoticed. “These are all friends of hers that have gotten together,” Gibson said. “They’re doing a wonderful job. I really appreciate that the girls that my daughter went to school with and was friends with are doing this in her memory. And I’m proud of them for doing it.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.

‘We’ve got a lot of talent on this team ... We’ve just got to believe in ourselves.’

BY STEVE HANF

Sometimes when one door closes, another one will open. Davidson County Community College basketball coach Matt Ridge recently found out that one of his top players would not be in uniform next season. Needing a quality player to replace the one he was losing, Ridge

did some searching and may have found just the guy. Michael Wooten, a transfer from Radford University, signed with the Storm Saturday morning after a workout session with the coaches. It was the first time Ridge and his staff have seen him play. “Michael is an amazing

shooter who should help the Storm compete for another conference championship,” said Ridge. “In Junior College there is a high turnover rate from one year to the next. So bringing in a shooting guard with college experience should certainly help us. He is extremely talented and

practiced against a high level of competition every day last year.” Wooten redshirted for the Highlanders last season and was a highly touted player out of high school. He was a two-time all-state selection playing at Alamance Christian and Graham High School. Along with returning

Myers gets a little luck to stay in lead BG REPORT With a little luck and a little help from family, Burt Myers hangs onto the points lead at Bowman Gray Stadium. In the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series, Burt Myers of Walnut Cove has had his hands full in recent weeks adapting to the demands of Stadium qualifying. “We’re really struggling to qualify,” said Myers. “It’s the heat, it’s the track condition, it’s going out first — it’s just really hard.” With starting position being determined strictly by qualifying order, a disappointing time trial from Myers gave him a 10th place start for the first 25-lapper. Points rival Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg was in the same boat, qualifying 14th. Jeffreys flew through

Post 87 one win away from series victory TIMES STAFF REPORT Fourth-seeded High Point Post 87 needs just one more win over No. 1 seed Western Forsyth to advance to the third round of the playoffs. On Tuesday, the Junior HiToms had to work extra innings to get the win, pulling out an 11-7 decision in the 10th inning of Game 3 in their best-of-five series. Post 87 leads 2-1. Kevin Sanders was the hero of the hour, drilling a grand slam that put the game away. Western Forsyth previously held a 7-1 lead through four innings, but were held down by the High Point bullpen and the offense finally came alive. Post 87 scored three runs in the fifth and three more in the seventh to knot the score. DeSean Anderson hit a solo home run in the seventh, and Kyle Morrison added a single later on for the tie. Post 87 (16-8) was to play at home Wednesday against Forsyth for a chance to advance to the third round.

What’s Your Grade?

Summer Safety Report Card Most kids look forward to summer, when school is out, the pool is open and they can play all day. But summer can be a dangerous season for kids. Experts say that between May and August, more kids are injured or die from accidents than at any other time during the year. This week, The Mini Page lets you give out the grades! Give you and your family a plus (+) for safety rules you always follow. Put a check (¸) next to those you need to work on. Then sit down with your family and discuss whether you get an S (satisfactory) or a U (unsatisfactory) for each category. Stay safe this summer!

For the year, Thomasville is batting .227 as a team, which goes a long way toward explaining the squad’s record of 1023 overall and 0-5 in the second half of the Coastal Plain League slate. “It gets frustrating all the way around,� Dorzweiler said. “We’ve got a lot of talent on this team. We’ve just got to believe in ourselves. We won five of seven at one point (to end the first half), and we’ve got to believe we can do that again.� The lone run for Thomasville crossed in the second when Alex Yarbrough turned on an inside pitch and drove it over the right-field fence. The Copperheads’ lead stayed at 3-1 until the fourth, when Brantley Meier connected for a two-run, two-out single that chased Striz. T.J. Clarkson escaped further trouble in that frame and starred over

As the recruiting process winds down, Ridge still has a couple of guys on his radar that he would like to see play Brinkley Gym for the 2010-11 campaign. “We are still looking to sign another point guard and another big,� Ridge said. “Hopefully, we can land a couple more good players that can help us next season.� Davidson won the Region X title outright last season and went on to win a District championship. They earned a trip to the national tournament where they finished eighth in the nation.

Cycling returns to the streets of Lexington TIMES STAFF REPORT As Lance Armstrong ascends the Alps of the Tour de France, he’ll be missing all the fun in Lexington and Davidson County. On July 9-11, hundreds of cyclists will descend on the area to race for personal records, bragging rights — and $10,000 in prize money. If that weren’t enough, along the way they’ll raise money for a local chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This weekend, Lexington and Davidson County will host the third edition of The Piedmont Triad Omnium, a premier regional race that draws top cyclists from all corners of North Carolina and the East Coast for three days and four separate events. What can spectators expect to see? The Friday night event on the streets of uptown Lexington is called a Criterium or Crit. “Groups of racers divided by age and experience go as quickly as they can around a ž mile rectangular course that starts at First Avenue and South Main Street, turns left on West Center, turns left on State Street, turns left on Fourth Avenue and turns left again back onto Main Street,â€? said Martin. “The event starts in sunshine at 6 pm and concludes under light supplied by street lights and other portable lighting just after 11 pm.â€? “Spectators along the streets have often remarked about hearing the sound of the approaching pack of cyclists and then feeling a breeze as the racers past,â€? said Edwards. The best places to view the Criterium are the Square and East First Avenue where there will be bleacher seating on a first-come first served basis, the elevated lawn of the Old Post Office at South Main Street and Third Avenue, sidewalk dining areas at CafĂŠ 35 and Naples Restaurant on South Main Street and at parking lots along the route on State Street. The Saturday night event is a Street Sprint. Racers will race against each other uphill from about Third Avenue to the finish line at First Avenue. “By racer’s request, this is a shortened and reversed course from last year,â€? said Martin. Again organized by age and experience, a sprint is basically a drag race along Main. “Helping the racers start off by holding their bikes in position will be girls from Hooter’s Restaurant in High Point who are returning for the second year,â€? said Martin. Groups start off at 6:30 pm. A popular component of the Saturday night event is the ‘Celebrity Sprints’. “These sprints are just a little different in that the riders are on three wheeled cycles,â€? said Edwards. Instead of racing uphill, these lucky riders will race downhill. This portion of the celebrity races starts at 7 pm. The Omnium concludes with the final event, the Road Race, on Sunday, July 11^th . The Davidson County Community College is the start and finish line for this challenging road race. The course is an 11.6 mile loop with challenging rolling hills and a flat, fast finish. The road course encompasses Old Greensboro

Road, Clodfelter Road, Ridge Road and Yokeley Road. Prime viewing locations will include the Lake Thom-A-Lex area and the finish line at DCCC. The first group of racers leaves DCCC at 8 a.m. and the last at 1:20 p.m.
