DCCC to pilot new ‘green’ initiative

Schools may get more leniency for makeup days

BY ELIOT DUKE

School systems across North Carolina may get more flexibility when it comes to planning their calendars around snow days.

The state Senate voted unanimously Thursday, 49-0, on a bill that will give administrators options as to when the school year will begin and end in the event days are missed to inclement weather. A state law currently requires schools to open no earlier than Aug. 25 and close no later than June 10.

“I think it’s a great idea,” Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Keith Tobin said. “That’s what we’ve been talking about for awhile now as far as the school calendar and that’s give us the option to start a little earlier. It’s really more of an advantage at the secondary and high school level than anywhere else. It will give us some options we don’t have now.”

According to the proposed bill, the State Board of Education may waive the required starting and ending dates if school calendars are able to provide sufficient days to accommodate makeup days due to school closings. A local school board may revise the scheduled dates if one or more schools have been closed for all or part of eight days per year during any four of the last 10 years because of weather conditions, power failures, or other emergency situ-

properly, but that’s not to say something couldn’t change and a judge make a ruling that we have to deal with.”

There are an estimated 900 locations in North Carolina that offer the online games where people play by purchasing Internet time for the chance to win cash prizes. An estimated 10,000 people are expected to lose their jobs once the law goes into effect later this year.

“We’re not bothering anybody,” said John Forshee while sitting down at 1622 Sweepstakes in Midway Plaza. “There has to be a better way than this. A lot of people come in here to pass time and enjoy ourselves. With the state in the shape it’s in now, losing jobs is the last thing we

Davidson County Community College gets the chance to step up to the plate and take a leadership role in the North Carolina Community College System.

The local community college has been selected to lead the environmental sector of NCCCS’ Code Green Super Curriculum Improvement Project, a system-wide initiative to integrate sustainability across a variety of curriculums through all 58 state community colleges.

“I’m really excited,” said Holly Weir, DCCC biology instructor and the lead faculty member working on the initiative.

“I’m very excited that I have the ability to impact the workforce in North Carolina and be able to build a more sustainable workforce and something more environmentally friendly.”

Every two years, NCCCS works to re-enhance a particular subject area through a curriculum improvement project (CIP), the last two of which focused on machinery and hospitality, respectively.

“The way that has worked in the past is a particular college will play a key role in looking at our curriculum standards, the requirements for the degree, and working within the network of the community colleges and the businesses and industries to enhance the program and make sure

DEALT A BAD HAND

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Internet sweepstakes appears to be running out of minutes.

By a 86-27 vote Wednesday evening, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill banning Internet sweepstakes games that lawmakers say are just another form of video poker. The bill will now go to Gov. Bev Perdue’s desk where she is expected to sign it into law, effective Dec. 1. In 2006, the state legislature banned video poker, but a couple court cases challenged loopholes in the law two years later, paving the way for Internet sweepstakes games to start popping up at small businesses across the state.

“We banned sweepstakes because it’s just another form of

‘Over the last three years, sweepstakes has averaged more than $1 billion in revenue for the state.’

— Steve Henderson Co-owner, 1622 Sweepstakes video poker,” House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman (D-Davidson County) said Friday. “[Internet Sweepstakes] is just another way for them to get around the law, so we changed the law to make it so they couldn’t. We think we’ve written the law

Gift helps bring families in touch with the past SUMMER

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Dewey Snider never found high school history particularly fascinating.

The open-the-book-and-read lesson plan left him droopy-eyed and daydreaming, sending the stories of battles and political intrigue written in a dray history text book in one ear and out the other.

But a little research into his family’s past peaked Snider’s interest.

“When I started doing some family history, I realized that I had family members that lived through all of these things that I didn’t want to learn about,”

he said, adding that the real-life connection pulled him into history more than any texbook could.

Now a genealogist and historian, Snider works part-time with the Genealogical Society of Davidson County, feeding his new-found hunger for historical knowledge and assisting others in their own research.

And in an effort to continue to make family research an accessible hobby for Davidson County citizens, Snider along with the society purchased two new microfilm readers for the Ruth B. Stoner Genealogy and History Room at the Lexington library last month, replac-

July lawn and garden tips

BY SCOTT WELBORN Guest Columnist

Grasses: Fescue goes naturally semi-dormant during extremes of hot and/or dry weather; it can survive three weeks without water. Water only when grass shows signs of wilt (footprints will show when grass is walked on). At the current time it is extremely hot and dry and your fescue lawn will need some irrigation. The most effective watering methods is to water to the point of runoff, turn off sprinkler to let water soak in, then water again, repeating until the root zone is wet. Unless the water reaches the roots where it is taken up by the plant, you waste both time and water. Water in early morning or late at night; late afternoon or early evening is the worst time to water as the grass stays wet for a longer time and encourages diseases.

Warm season grasses such as Bermuda needs to be fertilized during the warm months of the year. Apply 1 pound of nitrogen each month during the summertime from May to August.

One pound of Nitrogen would equal 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer.

Be sure to water it in during dry times.

DON’T bag grass clippings. Leave them on the lawn and save 25 percent on your fertilizer needs for the year. Clippings take up unnecessary landfill space and can be best disposed of in a home compost bin.

(Compost clippings only if you have NOT applied broadleaf weed killer!)

Crape Myrtles: The beauty of crape myrtles is shown in their color this month. Prune spent flower blossoms and you’ll prolong the flowering period. If the leaves appear dark and sooty or almost uniformly charcoal gray, you have sooty mold, the result of an aphid infestation in May/June. Spray now with horticultural oil or soaps according to label directions. Next year watch for and treat aphids in May.

Some have problems with powdery mildew.

Use horticultural oils to control mildew.

Evergreens: CuttingsJuly thru September are the months to take semi-hardwood cuttings of evergreen shrubs. Remove the leaves from the lower half of cutting and dip in rooting powder.

Place in a well-drained media in a container that can be placed in a clear plastic bag or set in a cold frame. Place them out of direct sunlight and keep moist for about six weeks. (azalea, boxwood, holly, camellia and other evergreen shrubs) Bagworms: Handpick the bags. Pesticides are not effective once bags have been produced.

Trees: Remove suckers and water sprouts from trees. Do NOT prune trees. It is too hot! Only remove dead areas.

Watering: Water plants carefully early in the morning to avoid evaporation. Trickle or drip irrigation works well for valuable trees and shrubs. Shade trees may need more water especially if they are in declining health. Most of the water should be placed at the outer reaches of the root system (the drip line) where the small root hairs which take up the soil moisture are located.

When you water a tree, water deeply — apply sufficient water so the

soil is quite moist to a depth of at least 8 inches.

Deadhead: If you cut off (deadhead) blossoms when they die, then you will prolong the flowering period of the plant.

What to Plant this Month? It’s a little late to be planting but consider second crops of cucumbers and bush beans at this time. Also begin to plan your fall garden so you can begin planting the first of September.

Yellow Jackets: These bees can ruin outings until frost. With insect prey (their usual diet) becoming scarce, yellow jackets scavenge for other sources of nutrition, especially sweets, e.g. fruits, ice cream, soft drinks.

A dilute solution of ammonia and water (6 oz. of ammonia per gallon of water) sprayed in and around trash cans and sponged onto outdoor tables and food preparation surfaces may help to repel yellow jackets from these areas. Use household ammonia, not bleach. Aerosol sprays that control wasps and hornets work well to control yellow jackets.

Carefully locate the nest and use these sprays at dusk or after dark directly in the hole. Do NOT pour gasoline into a nest. This can contaminate our ground water.

BILL HILL Guest Columnist For decades, I worked in the Emergency Department at Community General Hospital as a nurse. I was very proud and privileged to have worked with many fine nurses, doctors, emergency services personnel, police officers, public officials and of course the patients who came thru the department for treatment.

Some patients’ condition were very critical, some were minor, and some needed a pure miracle.

During my years there, I experienced many miracles. Here is one such miracle told to me by a mother of a sick child while she was traveling thru Thomasville from Philadelphia. I remember the story as if it was told to me yesterday.

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.

Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to a drug store. She told her mother that there was a big red Indian chief sign

Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.� “How much do you have?� asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and 11 cents,� Tess answered barely audible. “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.� “Well, what a coincidence,� smiled the man. “A dollar and 11 cents, the exact price for a miracle for little brothers.�

He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the miracle you need.� That well-dressed man was a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again doing well. Mom and Dad were happy talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,� her mom whispered to me, “Was a miracle.

I often wondered how much it would have cost?

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost, one dollar and 11 cents, plus the faith of a little child.

In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need.

A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law!

Have a great week, be safe, be strong, and believe in miracles, they do happen!

above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment.

Tess, I remember was the child’s name. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most distinguished sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?� the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. Without waiting for a reply, he said, “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages.� “Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,�

Tess answered backed in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really, sick and I want to buy a miracle.� “I beg your pardon,� said the pharmacist. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside of his head, and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?� “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,� said the pharmacist softening his tone a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.�

The pharmacist’s brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?� “I don’t know,� Tess replied as her eyes welled up. “I just know he is really sick and

Stuck in Afghanistan

BY JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist There is good news about Afghanistan.

No, really. It comes from Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist and author of the book “The Promise: President Obama, Year One.” He thinks the president is firmly resolved to end our involvement there. Based on his sources inside the administration, he says one thing is certain: “We ain’t stayin’ long.”

Anyone who thinks nine years of stalemate is enough would like to believe Alter, whose reporting skills are not in doubt. But it may be more prudent to believe Gen. David Petraeus.

Reminded of Obama’s commitment to begin withdrawing a year from now, the new commander in Afghanistan carved out four lanes of wiggle room.

“There will be an assessment at the end of this year after which undoubtedly we’ll make certain tweaks, refinements, perhaps some significant changes,” he told senators.

So we may be leaving even sooner than planned? Um, no.

“We’ll need to provide assistance to Afghanistan for a long time to come,” he said.

That’s a recurring theme.

Obama himself recently ridiculed the “obsession around this whole issue of when do we leave.” The plan for next summer, he said, is not to leave but only to “begin a process of transition.”

The Rockies may crumble and Gibraltar may tumble in the time it takes to complete a “process of transition.”

But Alter says his reporting gives him confidence “a significant withdrawal will begin within, at the most, 18 months to two years.”

Not staying long? That would put off Obama’s original drawdown by as much as a year. If Obama is willing to push back his deadline by a year, why not two years? Or five?

Harvard international relations scholar Stephen Walt notes that Obama has had three chances to begin our extrication — “right after his election, then following his strategic review in the fall of 2009, and most recently with the McChrystal firing.” But he passed them up. “In each case,” Walt told me, “he’s chosen either to deepen U.S. involvement or he’s publicly committed to ‘staying the course.’”

It’s possible that Obama will break that pattern next summer, just as it’s possible that Adam Sandler will go for his doctorate. But there is no reason to bet on it.

He came into office opposed to the Iraq war, unlike the Afghanistan war — and yet his

schedule for withdrawal is no different from what President Bush planned. Why should anyone expect him to show more nerve in Afghanistan?

The political incentives are pushing him to go along with extending our presence because no president wants to be blamed for losing a war (see: Iraq, Vietnam). It’s politically safer to muddle along hoping for something that can be portrayed as success than to admit failure.

To think Obama will take the risk of a major withdrawal as he’s running for re-election assumes him to have more backbone on national security matters than he has yet demonstrated.

Time after time, forced to choose between sticking to his commitments and appeasing Republicans, he has opted for the latter — keeping Guantanamo open, giving up the idea of trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City, abandoning his campaign pledge to leave Iraq in 16 months.

The only thing that would spur Obama to start a pullout would be major progress in Afghanistan, which is about as likely as a Hard Rock Cafe in Kandahar. June was the most lethal month for American and NATO troops in the entire war, and this may just be the beginning.

A UN report says the number of roadside bombings by our enemies nearly doubled in the first three months of this year. So did the number of “complex suicide attacks.”

Meanwhile, our allies are failing us. Corruption has proliferated, and President Hamid Karzai has not captured the hearts of his countrymen since winning a rigged election last year.

The Afghan army suffers from ethnic divisions, weak leadership and an epidemic of desertion. The national police are plagued by illiteracy as well as graft. These developments do not spell “victory.”

Getting out of Afghanistan would be easy for Obama if things were to go well. But to get out when things are going badly would let Republicans blame him and his party ever after for what happens next. Democrats learned that lesson from Vietnam.

In the end, Obama is likely to follow a well-known rule of American politics: Fighting a futile war is excusable. Ending one is not.

U.S. Cuba policy: A 50-year failure?

VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist After a 134-day hunger strike, Guillermo Farinas’ waist is so small that a dog collar could fit around it.

This living skeleton (who has survived this long only because he has taken nutrients intravenously) now has a victory: The Cuban government has announced the planned release of 52 political prisoners. That Raul Castro appears to have buckled to international pressure is, of course, good news — though it comes too late for Orlando Zapata.

Zapata was a plumber and bricklayer who committed what the Castro brothers consider a treasonous act -- he joined a political group that believes in freedom, the Alternative Republic Movement. After his 2002 arrest and conviction for “disrespect, public disorder, and resistance,” he was repeatedly abused and beaten in prison.

Displaying a flair for irony, he demanded treatment comparable to that which Fidel Castro endured when imprisoned by Fulgencio Batista in 1953. Instead, he was further mistreated and his prison sentence was lengthened from three to 36 years.

Zapata’s only weapon was his own suffering, but his demand was not for himself.

He fasted for the release of 22 other ill political prisoners.

Upon his death in February, at age 42, there was a quick

splash of negative headlines, and he was forgotten. A few weeks later, President Obama lifted the travel ban for those with relatives on the island and lifted other restrictions on contacts between Cuba and the United States.

Farinas, a psychologist, Cuban army veteran, and political “subversive,” took up the gauntlet with his own hunger strike that now seems to have succeeded.

“Seems” is the operative word since the Castro regime has often promised reforms without follow through. Even by its explicit terms, the government’s agreement is to release only five prisoners immediately and the rest over the course of the next three or four months.

All will leave the country.

Why the wait? Presumably, it’s because the regime needs time to make its prisoners presentable. Bruises must heal. Weight must be gained. That sort of thing.

Here is a description of Cuban prison conditions from “The Black Book of Communism”: “Violence began with the interrogation ... Prisoners were forced to climb a staircase wearing shoes filled with lead and were then thrown back down the stairs. ... Working conditions were extremely harsh, and prisoners worked almost naked ... As a punishment, ‘troublemakers’ were forced to cut grass with their teeth or to sit in latrine trenches for hours at a time.”

Cuba is a last redoubt of communism. Because Fidel Castro clings to life and to power, a veil still covers the island. Castro’s crimes have scarcely begun to be revealed as he dodders toward a comfortable death in his bed. But enough, more than enough, is known. Between 1959 and the present, more than 100,000 Cubans have suffered in Castro’s prisons

and camps (some just for homosexuals). An estimated 17,000 were shot. Two million fled. Another 100,000 died attempting to escape.

All of this is known and has been for decades. And yet the image of Che Guevara continues to sell on t-shirts and posters around the globe.

Now Congress seems poised to lift all travel bans on Cuba and provide a tourism boon to the regime. A broad spectrum of Americans approves the legislation, including Republicans and Democrats, farmers and business interests. Fine. It may serve the interests of freedom at this point to permit trade with Cuba (though one suspects that the Chamber of Commerce is interested in the business angle). What is galling is to hear one and all describe the 50-year embargo as a “failed policy.”

In what sense did it fail?

We declined to help or support a criminal regime in any way. Yes, Castro claimed that his island’s persistent and desperate poverty was due to the embargo, but so what? Anyone with eyes could see that Castro traded freely with Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, Russia, China, and virtually everyone else. His special relationship with the USSR and later Venezuela is all that kept Cubans from starving like their ideological brothers in North Korea.

The day is coming when the true scope of Castro’s reign of terror will be fully revealed. Perhaps then we will take some grim satisfaction in having attempted, however unsuccessfully, to strangle the beast.

FROM PAGE 1 BAN From page 1

need. The state could regulate it if they wanted to. I don’t think they do, they want control.”

Steve Henderson is a co-owner of 1622 Sweepstakes and said a majority of his customers are older people who simply want something to do during the day.

Since opening two years ago, Henderson said his business has been run buy the book and he has gone to extensive measures ensuring all its affairs are in order. All three of his employees were looking for work before being hired and Henderson isn’t sure what will happen to them and others who will be affected by the ban.

“I guess we’ll close the doors,” Henderson said. “The state was presented with ways to regulate the games either through revenue sharing or taxes.

That’s not what they want. The state wants to control the games the same way they do the lottery. West Virginia faced a similar situation and found a way to regulate the games. Over the last three years, sweepstakes has averaged more than $1 billion in revenue for the state. We’re a lot bigger than West Virginia, so do the math.”

A manager at another local location that offers the games who wanted to remain anonymous said she is worried about losing her job. She said five people work at her location and they all will be without work once the bans goes into effect.

“Most people that come in here are just having fun,” said the manager.

“They’re going to shut us down and I don’t know what I’m going to do. All five us didn’t have a job before we came here

GREEN From page A1 they’re viable within the field,” said NCCCS President Scott Ralls. “This year is a little bit different. This is probably one of the most unique CIP’s that we’ve ever had.”

The super curriculum improvement project will look to revamp five different subject areas — environment, building, energy, transportation and engineering technology.

“Super CIP is way more involved,” said Frank Scuiletti, NCCCS program coordinator. “It involves pulling in green or sustainable technologies, energy reduction, those sorts of things, into the program areas.”

Like other CIPs, code green will streamline programs, upgrade curriculum, research giving students credentials in areas that have national certifications and further train faculty.

“The goal of this is to go in and look at each of those programs and we’re going to revitalize

and it will be really hard on all of us.”

Holliman said the same argument regarding job loss was made following the ban on video poker, but he insists Internet sweepstakes preys on people who eventually lose a lot of money. As far a comparisons to the lottery, Holliman said the difference is the amount people lose while playing Internet sweepstakes.

“There are distinctions between video poker and the lottery,” said Holliman. “Most people go in and buy a ticket or two, and spend a dollar or two, they don’t spend a paycheck. That’s the difference in the two. We want to make sure that we’re adding the right kind of jobs and people are working. We hate anybody would lose a job but that’s not the kind of industry we need.”

As far as regulating the industry, Holliman said lawmakers didn’t have to time to address the issue during short session, but the easiest solution would be to put Internet Sweepstakes under the lottery commission and tax it.

“That could happen at a later time,” Holliman said. “At this time we felt like with the proliferation of all these going up all of a sudden, we had to get a handle on this now.”

While some locations offer other services like copying and faxing as well as Internet Sweepstakes, Holliman feels the businesses are not there for anything but online gambling.

“To be honest, they are not for people to go in for business services,” said Holliman. “They’re there for one reason and that’s video poker. They don’t make their living on other people making faxes or getting on the Internet for business purposes.”

them,” Weir said. “What we’ve seen is that North Carolina’s economy has changed to include a greater amount of sustainable products. We’ve also tried to create a green workforce.”

Weir said that the economy has shifted to start looking at the triple bottom line. Explained with the metaphor of a threelegged stool, the triple bottom line looks at the relationship between what’s good for the environment, what’s good for business and what’s good for society.

And since many community college graduates enter right into the workforce, teaching sustainable practices across a variety of curriculums could have a very real and almost immediate impact, Weir says.

“It creates awareness and brings environmental stewardship to our students,” she said. “This can dramatically impact our community as well.

Integrating these environmental concepts into the curriculum will automatically affect their home life, their personal

GIFT From page A1 ing older models the center had been using.

“The old ones were getting old and giving trouble,” Snider said. “You can’t get parts for them anymore. You know how things are when they’ve been around for 20 years.”

Microfilm readers — that work reliably — form a crucial role in the genealogical and history room’s resource center because many of the room’s records are on microfilm.

“We still have quite a collection of microfilm around here, a lot of records from state archives,” Snider said.

“We’re trying to save people the expense of having to drive to Raleigh.”

Some of the records purchased and copied from the state capital include files of loose estate papers for Davidson and Rowan counties, Davidson County military service discharges and marriage registers.

Though the society’s primary facility resides in the Lexington library, both Thomasville and Denton have local genealogy rooms.

“Those areas focus mostly on areas surrounding Davidson County, whereas in Lexington we have records countrywide,” Snider said.

life. You can realize the impact we can have on the workforce and the economy.”

Creating a green work force can help to bring more green jobs to North Carolina, speaking in economic development terms. And by developing a standardized curriculum across the community college system — one that’s up-to-date with the most recent green technology — NCCCS ensures its students have the most cutting-edge skills at their fingertips.

“It’s part of how we stay relevant and stay at sort of the forefront to make sure that the programs we offer provide the kinds of skills that people need to get jobs,” Ralls said. “Those are the kinds of skills that our students need and will help them in the future going into the competitive work force. It’s a very unique project, a very important project.”

Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.

Formed in 1980, the society has published 20 books to assist in family research, including the Heritage of Davidson County.

“Our role is to encourage the study of family history and support in any way possible the genealogy research facilities here in the county,” Snider said.

Understanding and knowing ancestors not only satisfies an instinctive itch but also helps people understand themselves better, Snider added.

“It’s a natural curiosity about how we got here,” he said. “If you don’t know where you come from, you don’t know where you’re going. We just like people to know what kind of people they’re descended from.”

But nowadays the connection between the current generations and past ones has continued to grow. Snider says that gap stems from several factors, especially the increased fluidity of the family unit.

“There are a lot of different factors that are putting pressure on families that we didn’t have in the past,” he said.

“We have a lot of single-parent families and that sort of thing. Families are more mobile. In some cases now, some kids are even disconnected from their grandparents.”

“What they’re doing is allowing us to use our delayed and early dismissal days if have bad weather as part of our eight days they look at for whether or not we can ask for a waiver to start school earlier,” said Tobin. “How early we would start? I don’t know. If we get that waiver, we have an option to start before the 25th.

Any time they give us more leeway towards the schedule, it gives us an advantage.”

Tobin said the advantages to starting the school year earlier is positive on two fronts. Finishing the first semester before Christmas allows Thomasville High School to get its testing out of the way and also enables seniors who graduate early the option of going to community college.

Dr. Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools, said he supports any initiative that turns the calendar over to local elected school boards, and added that the reason the General Assembly controls the school calendar is because of tourism in the

RELIGION

In all our travels, God walks with us KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

I went to my brother and sister-in-law’s house for their annual 4th of July gathering. When you go to their house for a family gathering you might be greeted by as little as a dozen people to as many as thirty. You don’t have to be family to be at one of my brother’s gatherings. If you don’t have someone to be with on a holiday, there is always an extra plate at my brother’s house and

his family makes you feel welcome. It seems every time I go to one of his gatherings there are people I have never seen before, but we all enjoy the food, family atmosphere and fun.

This year’s gathering was marked by stories of travels. My Dad had been on a cruise up the northeast coast and into Canada. Within a four day period he had celebrated the birth of two nations: Canada and America. My brother went on a cruise to Alaska. He had a slide show playing on his TV of the family trip. The pictures were phenomenal, they made me want to go and see such beauty.

My sister helped chaperone a youth mission trip to Honduras. The pictures of that beautiful land were equally as phenomenal. What was interesting to me was to hear how happy and

reconciled with life the people seemed to be even though they didn’t have many possessions. It was great to hear stories of how the youth connected with the people so well.

It seemed the missionaries were as highly impacted as those they went to serve and help.

One of the girls said she was hoping to go back.

Those were the major trips, but there were also plans for additional trips including the Dominican Republic, a wilderness survival trip, a reunion of former Boy Scouts at Philmont, New Mexico, a mission trip to the inner city of Charlotte, and the trip that every family was looking forward to… the beach! I am so proud of my nieces and nephews (and their significant others) who are traveling around the world to help people who are less fortunate than themselves. It is

so good to see the next generation eager and hungry to reach out to their fellow human beings from different corners of the world.

I think those kinds of trips will change their lives and their concept of love and success.

We are all grateful for God’s protection as we travel. If we added up all the miles that my family will travel this summer the total would be unbelievable.

We all need God’s hand of protection around us as we make trips. We have some responsibility when we travel in that we should be paying attention to what we are doing and not texting or talking on the phone.

I believe that life is much like a trip. We have an idea where we are going, our eternal destination, just not sure of all the stops along the way. We have some

objectives and some goals we want to accomplish, but ultimately it is still a journey of faith. In our journey we really need to ask God to guide and protect us.

I believe God is with us, closer than any of us realize, as we walk along life’s trail. He’s not only there to protect us but to guide us along the way. He wants us to see some awesome sights, but often we miss them because we have allowed the busyness of life to crowd out His voice. I am convinced that God is walking along beside us much like a best friend would while walking the beach.

He wants to share life’s experiences with you: good, bad, and the boring routine of everyday. God wants to be involved in every detail of your life, guiding you through decisions and listening when it seems like you

don’t have a friend in the world. God is with you.

I want to encourage you to begin to recognize that God is truly walking with you every hour of every day. Look for His presence, listen for His voice. God not only wants you to share with Him, He wants to share with you. When we take time to bring God into every situation we are going to change the outcome of those situations.

So I want to encourage you to invite God into your personal life, your family life, your work life, in every aspect of your life, stop and invite Him in. I believe if you do you will experience life more fully and you will discover peace, joy, and fulfillment.

Eddie Huss of Charlotte and Marcia Dills of High Point will preform piano duets today at 4 p.m. at Heidelberg UCC.

Piano duets continues concert series at Heidelberg UCC TIMES STAFF REPORT

What is better than hearing a Concert Pianist? Perhaps hearing two concert pianists.

Josef Walker, choirmaster of Heidelberg United Church of Christ announces the third concert in the 2010 “Great Music from Heidelbereg” series. A program of piano duets is planned for today at 4 p.m. at the church located at 118 Salem St., Thomasville. The concerts artists are Eddie Huss of Charlotte and Marcia Dills of High Point.

Both Huss and Dills are well-known concert artists from right here in North Carolina. Huss is Minister of Music and the Arts of First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte. Dills is Chair of Keyboard Studies at High Point University.

“I think we are in for a unique treat,” said Walker. “They have chosen a program of music by all American composers. I can hardly think of a better or more appropriate conclusion to the week of July 4.”

Last year, the music series concentrated on vocal artists and included a

concert by a Craig Collins, Lyric Tenor and another concert featuring Seven Choral Scholars majoring in vocal performance from UNC-G, UNC-SA and High Point University. In addition there was an organ workshop for children entitled “Pedals, Pipes & Pizza” and a Hymn Festival.

“This year we are concentrating on instrumentalists and have featured this year the Chancel Bells of Wesley Memorial conducted by Dr. Michael P. Dougherty performing on five octaves of bells and three octaves of chimes, and Gregorio Miderio, Concert Violinist from Venezuela,” Walker said.

“Today, two concert pianists will be presented in concert.”

The remainder of the Great Music from Heidelberg series for 2010 will include a “Festival of Hymns & Anthems” on Oct. 10, an Organ Recital on Nov. 14 on the historic Palmer Memorial pipe organ, and “Advent Procession of Lessons & Carols” on Dec. 12.

All concerts are free and open to the public. For directions to the church or further information, contact the church at (336) 472-7024 or MusicHeidelberg@northstate.net.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Season ends in Clemmons for Post 87

BY STEVE HANF HPE

CALENDAR TODAY CPL

Martinsville @ HiToms 7 p.m.

CLEMMONS — One last thrilling rally never materialized for High Point Post 87 in the conclusion of a thrilling American Legion Baseball playoff series.

As a result, the Junior HiToms’ season concluded far earlier than hoped.

“I’m very proud of the way these guys fought,” Post 87 coach Rob Shore said Thursday night. “Most teams in the second round of the playoffs have a full 18-man roster and

SUNDAY

we had 13, 14 all week. For us to stretch this to a fifth game – I’m very pleased with the way we played.”

Andre McKoy clubbed a pair of homers and drove in five runs to spark Western Forsyth Post 522 to a 13-2 victory. The win sent No. 1 seed Western into the semifinal round of the Area III playoffs and capped the No. 4 Junior HiToms’ season at 18-9.

McKoy and Dustin Myers hit back-to-back shots in a four-run first inning off Tyler Southcott. That lead hardly seemed safe, though, after the teams combined for dozens

of runs in the first four meetings.

Southcott — an emergency starter given Post 87’s absences — wouldn’t allow another run before leaving in the fourth, and Mike Whited pulled Post 87 within two runs in the second inning with a towering home run over the scoreboard in left-center.

“When we were down 7-1 here two nights ago, we honestly seemed out of the game,” Shore said. “But a few runs here and there and we were right back in it.”

There are many things I like and admire about Dale Earnhardt Jr., but one particular item that keeps popping up is the fact that just when you’re a little bit tempted to give up on the guy, he saves it. Junior definitely knows how to come through in the clutch.

The ability to be productive in a “clutch” situation is one of the characteristics that sets a good athlete apart in his or her individual sports. The term is generally applied to someone who succeeds in pressure situations, who does well with the game on the line.

It can also refer to someone who, when it really counts, manages to overcome any related stress and live up to his own hype. At Daytona International Speedway on the Fourth of July weekend, Dale Earnhardt Jr. put to rest once and for all any doubt about his ability to rise to an occasion.

And what an occasion it was.

The decision for Junior to drive the No. 3 Chevrolet, complete with a retro Wrangler paint scheme made famous by his father, wasn’t exactly a publicity stunt; he’s driven the “3” a couple of times before. It was more of a marketing promotion, a cooperative effort between Richard Childress Racing, which holds the rights to the No. 3, JR Motorsports, the company owned by Earnhardt Jr., and Dale Sr.’s widow, Teresa Earnhardt.

HiToms deliver in dramatic way

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor A broken down bus may be the best thing the HiToms could have ever asked for.

On Wednesday, the strugg l i n g C h a i r City team was delayed in its trip to Asheboro, giving skipper Tom Dorzweiler Dorzweiler a chance to hammer out some of the difficulties his team has faced.

They were thirsting for something good to happen, and it finally did. They beat the Copperheads, then scored a rousing 6-5, come-frombehind win on Thursday against Martinsville,

possibly setting the table for a huge streak that will get them in the playoffs.

“We had a little emotional meeting before we went to Asheboro last night, and we were talking to them about drinking the HiTom Kool-Aid,” Dorzweiler said. I think everybody had a sip of it Wednesday and a pitcher of it today. It just excites me that we are coming together when we need to.”

After slowly chiseling away at a 5-0 deficit, the HiToms crept within one heading to the bottom of the ninth, where they finished the deal.

Kyle Barbeck scored the first run on a sacrifice fly by Cass Hargis, then Tyler Frederick doubled down the line in left to move Alex Yarbrough to third. In

WORKING ON THEIR GAME Campers from the Davidson County Community College Storm basketball camp pose for a picture after a great week of learning the fundamentals of the game of basketball and refining their skills. The camp was conducting by Storm head coach Matt Ridge along with DCCC assistant coaches and former players.

Are you still beating your wife?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old joke that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be answered without making yourself look bad whether you answer yes or no, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve beaten my wife, Cherie, twice this week.

It has been a while since the last time I beat her and, I can tell you, it felt pretty good. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a slump and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been beating me on a regular basis and, frankly, I was getting a little tired of it.

No, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abuse my wife and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abuse me, I spoil her and she deserves spoiling.

Most men I know would give their eye teeth for a wife that hunts, fishes, and shoots. (At least they would until that wife started outshooting them on a regular basis, which is exactly what Cherieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing).

A couple of years back I gave her a Parker 20 gauge shotgun for her birthday and she had the nerve recently to use it to repeatedly outshoot me. This week, I beat her twice, shutting her out at Five Stand, a clay target shotgun game.

When the hunting season is over, most hunters put the guns up and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch them until dove season. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with that but, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like me, you get rusty. As a shooting instructor, I find there are two kinds of people, those who take to shotguns easily and those who really have to work at it. Unfortunately, for me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m one of the ones that have to work at it and, were it not for clay targets, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a sorry shooter indeed.

I did quite a bit of wingshooting this winter and shot really well.

The last duck hunt I went on, I hit more than I missed. I shot a lot of chukars in the process of training my young lab, Larry, and I did a little clean up shooting for pheasant hunts at Beaver Pond Sporting Club.

Once the season ended, I got busy with striped bass and forgot about the guns for a while.

With my level of hand/eye coordination, that spelled disaster.

When the fishing season was over, I went back to doing a little shooting and suffered the relentless humiliation of my wife outshooting me on a regular basis. Cherie has steadily improved as a shotgunner since she began shooting seriously four years ago,

OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist but the big factor was me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I could have hit my own foot.

Since one of the things I do to earn bread is teach people how to shoot, this is humiliating. I can walk away from the pistol and rifle for quite a while without losing much, but the shotgun requires constant maintenance on my part. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not coordinated. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so uncoordinated that I can barely drive and talk at the same time. Shotgunning is a hand/eye sport and I have to stay with it to keep from losing it.

A big part of that hand/eye problem relates to confidence. A confident shotgunner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing as he fires a shot. That confidence allows him to smoothly swing, break the shot, and follow through. If the shooter is questioning his lead or swing as he fires the shot, he tends to have a jerky swing which puts him in front of or behind the target at times. Pull the trigger at the wrong time and you miss.

True, you have to have all the fundamentals but once you have those fundamentals, confidence is one of the most valuable factors in your success at shotgunning.

As a gangly, awkward 58-year-old, I lose the smoothness of my swing and my follow through as soon as I leave the gun in the safe for more than three or four weeks. Once I miss shots I think I should have hit, I start to analyze and my confidence goes out the window. The loss of confidence creates a self fulfilling prophecy because I start to second guess my lead, jerk the trigger, and stop my follow through to see if I broke the target.

When that happens, I have to get back to basics and shoot confidence targets. Confidence targets are shots that are easy for the shooter to make. For

them to really help, they must vary in nature, but allow the shooter to hit a high percentage and get his or her groove back. Simple crossers, quartering away shots, and shots that are easy to pick up and present predictable flight paths give the struggling shooter the ability to break a high number and recover his confidence. Once you begin hitting those targets regularly, you can move back to the trickier shots and, for me at least, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all come back.

A really good way to do this is to shoot a high percentage of shots that are close range shots.

This allows you to use a really open choke and increase your odds. A skeet range is perfect for this. It offers a wide variety of targets at close range. Shooting light loads with low recoil also helps by increasing your comfort level. During a slump is no time to experiment with equipment. Use what has served you well in the past, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inherent confidence boost in using what has worked before.

Of course, the real solution is to shoot.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not that far from the shooting season and, if you were frustrated with your shooting last year, maybe you should consider some confidence building now, before you humiliate yourself in the dove field.

Cherie and I will be running the Five Stand today at PHA in Churchland. We start shooting at 9 a.m. Come and watch me beat my wife.

WAY From page B1 stepped Zak Wasserman of Louisville, who delivered a laser ground ball through the box to score the game-winner.

Reliever Johnny Hoffman deserves much of the credit, though, pitching 5 2/3 innings of scoreless ball to get the win. He did not overpower, but produced easy balls for his defense to handle behind him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been working hard all year but has struggled,â&#x20AC;? said Dorzweiler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told him that we believe in you and we are not giving up on you. He has worked his tail off and it showed tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Starting games have been tough for the pitching staff of the HiToms this season, and the first inning was no different.

Starter Ben Grisz gave up a single to leadoff hitter Matthew McGovern, who was sacrificed to second via the bunt.

Grisz then struck out Matthew Black, needing just one more out to get in the dugout.

Cleanup hitter Cody Pack made him wait at least one more batter, as the slugger lifted an opposite-field home run off the bottom of the netting in right-center field, as the Mustangs galloped out to a 2-0 lead.

While Martinsville starter Michael White was busy handcuffing the HiToms hitters, his offense was going back to work getting him some more run support.

A run in the third pushed the lead to three

then two more in the fourth made it 5-0 Mustangs, as the Tommies were facing another uphill climb like they have done all season.

Hargis and Frederick helped make the trek up the incline a bit shorter in the fifth, as Hargis brought in Kyle Grieshaber with a bases loaded walk and Frederick scored David Roney on a fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice.

Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm showed signs of fatigue a frame later, as he yielded two more runs to leave the HiToms trailing by a single run. Matt Dillon singled to start the inning and was brought home a batter later on a double down the left field line by Daniel Kassouf. After making his

way to third on a wild pitch, Kassouf covered the final 90 feet thanks to a sacrifice fly off the bat of Grieshaber.

The rally kept plugging along, as the final two runs in the ninth kept hopes high of making a huge push in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew we had the team and talent to come back and win these close ball games,â&#x20AC;? Dorzweiler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To come back and win one like this feels awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Notes: The HiToms improve to 2-5 in the second half standings while the Mustangs fall to 3-4 ...

Frederick and Dillon had two hits each.

Fans didn’t care too terribly much about the many wonderful reasons why the No. 3 would be competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona.

They just rejoiced in the fact that the car, a beloved and even revered NASCAR icon in its own right, would once again be making its way around DIS. After the initial hype settled down, the speculative frenzy began.

Surely, Junior would win the race; he HAD to win the race. This is no mean feat at Daytona, where the smallest ill-timed movement can result in a double-digit attrition rate. On-track incidents don’t discriminate. Last names or car numbers doesn’t impress them.

To them, all drivers are created equal.

Stories of celebrities’ kids who have tried without much success to follow in their famous parents’ footsteps aren’t uncommon. Can you even begin to imagine being the son of Joe Montana?

Or Michael Jordan?

Or Dale Earnhardt?

It’s hard to go out and make a name for yourself in the world when someone else has already spectacularly done that for you. In fact, it’s close to impossible. Even if his blood is running through your own veins, how can you compete with a legend?

The answer, of course, is that you can’t. All you can do is try your hardest, and be yourself.

That, or move to South America and change your name, which seems to be a much less popular option. Why these guys don’t all have ulcers is beyond me.

Back to Daytona. On the plus side we had Dale Earnhardt Jr. coming to race at a track where he performs exceptionally well, driving some of the sport’s best equipment.

On the minus side we had the inherent vagaries of a NASCAR race, 42 other drivers all anxious to get to Victory Lane, and millions of fans not only hoping for, but actually expecting, the driver of the No. 3 Wrangler car to bring it home.

How did Dale Earnhardt Jr. respond?

He hit it out of the park. For the first time in over two years, he won a points-paying race. In the No. 3 Wrangler car. At Daytona.

On the Fourth of July weekend. With his father’s dear friend and car owner Richard

ence. The class covers laws for citizens governing the use of deadly force to protect their homes, as well as deadly force laws in general as they pertain to citizens of N.C. Also, gun safety, marksmanship and fundamentals are covered and practiced during the class, with hands on range time.

To sign up for the class call Livingston at 6870290 or go by the fire department.

Childress standing by his side, telling him his dad would be proud.

It was one of the most magnificent clutch plays I have ever witnessed, in any sport. I have never been more touched by an individual driver’s accomplishment on the track.

Anyone who wants to talk about the determination, tenacity and sheer grit of Dale Sr., well, carry on, because you’re absolutely right.

But did you get a load of his kid?

Junior came back the next night and wrapped up the weekend by finishing fourth in the Coke Zero 400, racing his way into the current Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field. Not too shabby.

As far as the big picture goes, Junior’s Nationwide Series crew chief and cousin Tony Eury Jr. probably said it best — “To come back with that number and do this, it means everything.”

There will be no repeat performance of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Nationwide Series triumph, at Daytona or anywhere else. “This is it. No more 3 for me,” he said in Victory Lane after the race.

Disappointing?

Perhaps, but that’s OK. Because no doubt everyone would agree that on this one night, he did it all, and it was more than enough.

SPORTS FIT From page B3 it can be so demanding, spinning can be a tough routine for those making a lifestyle change. Once you’ve gotten into an exercise groove, spinning might be something to explore.

Often set to aggressive, pulsating music, spinning involves riding a stationary bike through demanding courses featuring hills and other difficult terrain.

• Aqua aerobics. For those who enjoy time in the pool, see if your gym offers an aqua aerobics class. This might not be as readily available at most gyms as spinning classes are, as lots of gyms don’t even have pools. For those who love swimming, look for a gym that does have a pool, and chances are, that gym will offer some derivation of aqua aerobics which consists of intense cardio movements mixed with some strength training. The chief benefit of a good aqua aerobics workout is that it will work all your muscle groups with low impact on joints — making it ideal for seniors.

• Pilates. The popularity of pilates classes is now so great that many gyms offer classes several times per day.

Not unlike yoga, pilates is both a physical and mental exercise. The exercises themselves can be quite demanding, focusing on stretching and breathing that strengthens the abdominal core.

• Abdominals. Few people look at their abs and don’t think they could use some work. That said, nearly every gym offers a class focusing strictly on abdominal exercises. These usually range anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes in length. Anything longer than that might cause painful and unnecessary muscle strain, so beware of ab classes that might be longer than 30 minutes, especially if you’ve only recently gotten back into exercise.

• Fusion. For those who subscribe to the idiom that “variety is the spice of life,” fusion classes (also known as total body conditioning) classes could be the perfect fit. That’s because such classes are a combination of other classes.

Because they combine so many different elements, these classes tend to run a little longer in length, oftentimes exceeding an hour in length. The benefit of these is that they build up your cardiovascular as well as muscular strength.

• Yoga. Arguably no alternative exercise class is more widely known than yoga. A

centuries-old Hindu discipline aimed at promoting control over the body and mind, yoga classes are offered at nearly every gym or fitness center across the country. Much of yoga is concerned with helping you become stronger, more balanced, focused, and flexible. If you’re looking for a non-competitive environment where you can move at your own pace, this might be the best workout program for you.
