For the third year in a row, the two companies will be holding an annual benefit today where all proceeds will go towards the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a place where children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses go to see dreams become reality, and the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma.

“The proceeds this year will be split,” Melissa Blackwell, marketing communication specialist for CV Products, said.

“Half will go to Victory Junction and half to the institute. The Childress Institute is trying to build a pediatric trauma center that will work hand-inhand with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

The closest pediatric trauma center to here is in Nashville.”

Lost and Found

Father, son face second round of distance

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Editor’s note: This is the second of a three-part series. Look for the final installment in Tuesday’s Times.

The fairy-tale reunion of the summer of 1982 didn’t last.

Though Patrick White waved goodbye to 13-year-old JP, thinking that their 10-year absence had ended, his son flew off into oblivion, falling again into a black hole of names and addresses and phone numbers.

The U.S. Coast Guard veteran searched long and hard. He threw his efforts back into scouring the Internet, trying tactics he had re-

sorted to when JP first disappeared with his mother 10 years earlier.

But to no avail.

In 1987, Patrick remarried. Joan White embraced her new husband’s emotional attachment to the missing JP, hanging pictures of the boy in the house and telling friends and family the sad story.

“I was hoping for another reunion,” Patrick said. “I was hoping. But after this many years, I almost gave up hope and wondered if it was too late.”

Across the country, JP ran into his own roadblocks — a mother who refused to answer any questions or help in his search for his father. So JP grew into adulthood, never quite forgetting about the man from North Carolina.

Community Sponsor

JP tried once in 2002 to find Patrick on his own. Locating a High Point man named Patrick E. White, JP called the number and a woman answered — Joan.

The young man asked for Patrick, but he didn’t mention who he was, and, before his father took the call, he hung up.

“I hung up immediately because of the anxieties of not knowing what I was getting myself into,” JP said. “I was thinking to myself then, ‘I haven’t had a father. Why start?’”

But still Patrick lingered on JP’s mind and remained in his heart.

The story of his long-lost father was a common one among JP’s

The law of garbage trucks UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

If you are like I am often, you let other people’s nonsense change your mood. Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day?

Unless you are the Terminator, for instance, you’re probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he/she can get back on focus on what’s important. Approximately four years ago, I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane, when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling curse words at us. My

taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.

And I mean, he was really friendly. So, I asked, “Why did you just do that?� This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital ! And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck.�

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. You will see this in churches, schools, organizations, grocery stores, shopping centers and practically everywhere you go. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.

When someone wants to put garbage on you, don’t take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it: The Law of the Garbage Trucks.

I started thinking, how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore.� I began to see garbage trucks. Like in the movie The Sixth Sense, the little boy said, “I see dead people.� Well, now I see Garbage Trucks. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave wish them well, and move on.

One of my favorite football players of all time, Walter Payton, did this every day on the football field. He would jump up as quickly as he hit the ground after being tackled. He never dwelled on a hit. Payton was ready to make the next play his best. Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about. The bottom line is that successful people do not let the Garbage Trucks take over their daily activities.

What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here’s my bet. You’ll be happier!

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so, love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, TAKE IT ! If it changes your life, LET IT! Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!

Bye for now, take care.

May God be with you and your family and friends.

See ya around town.

Uncle Bill, over and out!

LEXINGTON — Some people volunteer, others send a check, but when it comes to supporting local charities, Mark Beck prefers to get on his V-Star Silverado 650 Yamaha and do what he loves best — ride.

Carolina Cancer Services, Hospice of Davidson County and Samaritan’s Purse are just a few of the non-profit organizations that Beck has supported over the years. “I love to ride with a group of motorcycles,� said Beck. “Charity rides bring together all kinds of bikes and people for a special cause. It’s a good feeling to connect with other bike enthusiasts who care about helping others in need.�

Beck started riding motorcycles as a young boy and bought his first street bike in 2006. A year later he participated in his first charity ride when he rode in a cancer-related fundraiser. “My Mom died of cancer in 2005,� he said. “She participated in several Walks for a Cure when she was able. After her death, I wanted to honor her by helping a nonprofit that she believed in.�

The following year, Beck heard about a ride for Hospice of Davidson County. It was the first year the agency had held a motorcycle fundraiser. “It was a good ride with more bikes than any other charity events I had rode in,� he said. “I’ve been a part of Hospice of Davidson County rides ever since.

Laura Owen, a staff member at HODC, saw Mark at the first ride. “We had graduated from the same high school over 25 years ago and I hadn’t seen him in a long time,�

Owen said. “We spoke at length about the event and he had a lot of good ideas about enhancing the ride.�

Later, when the agency was in the planning stages for the next year’s ride, Owen remembered Beck’s comments. “I thought how important it was to have riders involved in helping organize the event and I asked if he would serve on the volunteer committee,� she said. “We were really fortunate that he signed on without any hesitation. He’s been a big asset planning this year’s event.�

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future.

There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modiďŹ ed adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA. Call today to schedule an appointment to learn more. We’ll discuss your retirement goals to help determine if a Roth IRA makes sense for you.

Wind-Jacks named Business of the Month

BY LISA WALL Editor

Wind-Jacks produce was named Business of the Month for July by the Thomasville City Beautification Committee.

The produce outlet has been in business for 20 years and recently moved across the street from its former location to a newer facility located at 628 National Highway.

Owned and operated by Windie Cody and her husband Jack, the store offers

a wide assorted of seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh eggs, lunch meats, dried beans and an assortment of grocery items. Keeping it local, the store offers produce from area farmers, but mostly from a larger distributor in South Carolina. Jack Cody says WindJacks competes with grocery store produce sections by offering fresher fruits and vegetables at a lower price.

The business is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 4751227.

A change election in wrong direction VIEWPOINT

JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist The headline for the latest poll says that public confidence in President Obama has sunk to a new low, with a majority of Americans saying they don’t trust him to make the best policy choices, especially on the ailing economy. These same voters, surveyed by The Washington Post and ABC News, are even more disdainful of Congress, split almost evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

Those numbers may portend a shift in partisan control of the House and a loss of Democratic seats in the Senate if citizens express their anger by punishing incumbents.

But the furious and frustrated electorate should be careful when they demand change in the upcoming midterm elections -- because what they get may well be very different from what they actually want.

To understand why, let’s look again at the findings of that poll. While that survey (and many others) show Americans deeply polarized over partisan preferences, the Obama presidency and other questions, there is broad agreement on at least one critical issue: extending unemployment benefits for the millions who have lost jobs and remain out of work. Fully 62 percent said that Congress should continue to extend benefits; only 36 percent said it should not, with 2 percent undecided. Most independents joined most Democrats in supporting extended benefits -- and even 43 percent of Republicans agreed.

But when Republican congressional and Senate candidates are asked that same question, their responses are negative -- strangely and sometimes harshly out of touch with the current realities of American life.

Listen to Sharron Angle, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada, a Scientology adherent who also favors returning the country to prohibition of alcohol.

Although there are five unemployed workers in this coun-

try for every available job, she believes that unemployment insurance is keeping people from seeking work.

“You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job but it doesn’t pay as much,” she said not long ago. “We’ve put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry.” She is not only heartless but badly misinformed, since she apparently doesn’t know that the average weekly unemployment check is scarcely higher than the minimum wage in most places. It would be educational for her to attempt to maintain a family with that level of income.

Not every Republican running for office this year necessarily shares that brutal viewpoint, and few of them are stupid enough to say so as bluntly as Angle. Yet the idea that unemployment benefits ought to be cut off to encourage people to find work -- even when there is no work to be found -- reflects the Republican consensus.

Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul, for example, sees cutting off benefits as “tough love.” The only way to revive the economy, in his view, is for Americans to “accept a wage that’s less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work.”

Neither Paul nor Angle should be seen as outside their party’s mainstream. In the Senate, Republicans have consistently blocked the extension of unemployment benefits using similar arguments.

Sen. Jon Kyl, the Arizona Republican who holds his party’s second-ranking position in the Senate, explained last March on the Senate floor that he would vote against extending benefits because unemployment insurance “doesn’t create new jobs. In fact, if anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work.”

Such is the Republican vision in 2010, echoing that of the 19th century: a nation of workers toiling longer hours for far less money, descending to the threshold of poverty.

Nobody who votes for them in anger should complain when that is what America becomes.

Remembering a soman of devout faith THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist In the March 27, 2007, edition of “This-N-That,” I wrote about a remarkable woman. At the conclusion of the story below, you will understand why I am including it again.

We first met her a number of years ago at the “Procession of the Cross” ceremony that takes place in Thomasville on Good Friday. Doshie Mae (Hairston) was working her way to the front of the procession, all the while singing a spiritual song. Gayle noticed that she was having trouble walking and held on to her arm as we moved her toward the cross. We placed the cross on her shoulder and she carried it for a distance before the weight of the cross overburdened her. For several years after that, we sought her out to make sure that she had her opportunity to carry the cross of Jesus.

As the years passed, she had to rely on a cane and then a walker to assist her in moving about. Several years ago, during the cross walk, the spring time temperature had dropped to a chilly 38 degrees in a misty rain. Doshie Mae was riding on a bus that was driving behind the procession and carrying those who were seeking shelter from the cold rain. But not for long.

About mid-way through the walk, she was off the bus and headed to the front to again carry the cross of Jesus.

Doshie Mae passed away on July 10, 2010, at the age of 84. Her funeral will be at 2 p.m. on Monday, July 19, at Brown New Calvary Baptist Church. I feel sure she is in her heavenly home.

••• I’ve been back to the Thomasville Library to check out one of the two copies they have of a book, Images of America, Davidson County, authored by Ray Howell, a Baptist Minister in Lexington. I have referenced this book in previous columns when writing about Davidson County and its history.

I find the book to be very interesting with a lot of pictures. I will attempt to find a book store that may have copies for sale. I have been told that the book may be out of print. Next time you are at the Thomasville Library, check out the one copy that can be checked out if it is available. One copy is for reference only and cannot be checked out but you can peruse it at the library.

••• Fifty Promises for Marriage Continued from the last column. I had several readers remark how they enjoyed the first twentyfive Promises, hope you enjoy the last 25 promises: 26. Ask for others opinion.

27. Show respect. 28. Welcome the other person home.

29. Look your best. 30. Wink at each other. 31. Celebrate birthdays in a big way. 32.

Apologize. 33. Forgive. 34. Set up a romantic getaway. 35.

Ask “What can I do to make you happier? 36. Be positive.

37. Be kind. 38. Be Vulnerable. (39. Respond quickly to the other person’s request.

40. Talk about your love.

41. Reminisce about your favorite times together. 42.

Treat each other’s friends and relatives with courtesy. 43. Send flowers every Valentine’s Day and Anniversary. 44. (Here’s a toughie) Admit when you are wrong.

45. Be sensitive to each other’s sexual desires (no extra comment on this one).

46. Pray for each other daily.

47. Watch sunsets together.

48. Say “I Love You” frequently, and mean it! 49. End the day with a hug. 50. Seek outside help when needed.

••• Question: Why do men’s clothes have buttons on the right while women’s clothes have buttons on the left?

Answer: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich.

Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left.

Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid’s right! And that’s where women’s buttons have remained since.

••• Question: Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?

Answer: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document.

The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

••• Only two more Sunset Sounds free concerts. The crowds have been great and the music outstanding. First, was the Tom Holladay Orchestra, last week a Southern Gospel group, New Wine, this past Thursday night was Scott Huffman Band.

They were all outstanding.

Giannini Brass Band will appear on July 22 with Ken McIver Davis and Steve Lindsley ending this year’s programs on July 29. Too bad we can’t get a few more dates in. Maybe next year!

“Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in America’s history,” said Dr. George Stevens, founder of the USAA. “Certainly, USAA students should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement.”

While most kids his age were sunning it up at the beach, Taylor spent time in Chicago earlier this month, participating in a national leadership conference with the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). Taylor is the North Carolina vice president of competitive events for the FCCLA and joined more than 6,100 members, guests and alumni from across the country

in the Windy City. Taylor was one of more than 3,000 students competing for top honors in FCCLA competitive events. Taylor first joined the group in seventh grade and has earned numerous honors from the organization.

“I keep my goals straight and I know what I’m going for in life,” Taylor said. “I know what the right choices are so I keep my grades high. Being in the FCCLA helps me with my leadership skills. I started with a STAR event which is Students Taking Action with Recognition.

“It was really nice in Chicago. We had our meetings at the Hyatt and I met a lot of people from all 50 states, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

There were colleges and companies and guest speakers who talked to us about staying determined and life changes.”

RELIGION

Accepting God’s plan for our extreme makeover KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

Last summer my wife and I took on a project to makeover our spare bedroom. The walls were in bad need of paint and repair. The carpet was old and needed to be replaced. So we took out the carpet, including the thousand nails and staples that once held it to the floor, and put down a laminate floor. We repaired the walls and gave them a fresh coat of paint

and we were pleased with the outcome.

As summer approached this year, we discussed the possibility of another makeover but this time for the office. We use our third bedroom as an office with two of everything so we both can have our space. The first problem with this makeover was finding places to put all the stuff that was in the office until I could get the work done. We planned it out carefully so we could still live and function in the house while the work was going on.

I am finally down to a few pieces of molding that need to be cut and nailed in place. The new laminate floor and paint look good in the office.

We have moved most of the stuff back in the office and the house is beginning to get back to normal. My big question is: why do these

projects always take longer than you plan in the beginning? I thought I allowed some extra time in my estimates for some unexpected problems, but I still underestimated the time.

I guess all home projects take longer than we think because we just don’t know what problems are waiting to be discovered as we begin our work. Even though it takes longer than we think, it is a good feeling when it gets done. I guess there is a similar comparison to our lives when you think about the extreme makeover that God must perform on us.

Most of us hate to think that we are in need of extreme makeovers. We like to think of ourselves as pretty decent folks. Most of us know other people who are in need of a makeover, but we don’t see ourselves as qualifying

for anything of that sort.

Most of us are honest, law abiding citizens. We look after our families, help out our neighbors, and we might even attend church once in a while. Those are all good things, but the reality is that we are flawed and in need of a makeover.

Jesus didn’t come into the world to tell some nice stories, kiss a few babies, shake some hands and then go back to heaven. He came with a plan for a makeover for all of mankind. In your heart of hearts you know you have done some things that are wrong.

That’s called sin and every single one of us is guilty. God is so pure that He can’t allow sinful, guilty people in His presence. So we are all in need of His makeover.

God’s plan cost Jesus everything. Jesus had to be willing to sacrifice His life so we could receive

the makeover that we need. That sacrifice makes us righteous, holy, and guilt-free! Once we have received our makeover by accepting Jesus as our Savior, we can enter God’s presence and have fellowship and friendship with God. Sometimes I find it hard thinking of myself as being righteous, but who am I to argue with God? There are so many other benefits to God’s makeover plan. God gives us His peace. His peace is the compete package; heart, soul, and mind. He gives us joy even when we are going through tough times.

He gives us love beyond comprehension. His love accepts completely. He gives us hope for today and for our future. In God we have a future, a plan for our lives. Ultimately we have a secure destiny, an eternal home

that God has bought and paid for each one of us who have accepted His makeover plan for our lives through His son.

I want to encourage you to accept God’s makeover plan for your life. It will change you and your outlook on life. God loves you very much and He wants a deeper relationship with you if you are willing to accept His plan. Open your heart and allow God to come in and do a complete makeover in your life.

The past will be wiped away and you will have a future that is bright and filled with His love.

P. MICHAEL MCNAIR Guest Columnist George McDonald once said, “To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.” Take a moment to think through this statement. You can love a person, but do you trust that person with your life, your heart, and all that is included in your life? Many times, we are careful to say the right things and not allow those around us to see who we really are.

We don’t want people to see our flaws or to know about our failures because we think they may not love or approve of us.

Faithfulness is an even deeper issue because it requires being faithful even when we may not agree with the popular view. It also means being loyal to Christ and following His precepts even when the world’s

view is anything but His. Today, faithfulness is viewed as an oldfashioned word. Many times, we find words like team player, champion, leadership potential, and independent have replaced words like faithful as an important factor in the employment world. If you step into a marketing meeting of a large corporation, more than likely faithful will not be a buzzword used for a new campaign.

There was a time when a man’s word was his bond-when trustworthiness was more important than wealth, fame, or popularity. It seems that the days are gone when promises were kept and friends were faithful.

Yet, God calls each one of us to be faithful to Him and to one another.

Faithfulness is evidence of a humble heart that

is turned toward God in adoration and devotion.

Are you seeking to be faithful to God first and then to what He has given you here on earth?

Turn your “potential” into productivity! Learn to be faithful and His love and goodness will flow from your life. The Bible says in the New International Version of Proverbs 3:3-4 “Let love and faithfulness never leave you, bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart: Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man”. Let this scripture remind us of the benefits of faithfulness and cause us to re-prioritize our lives for the better!

Hundreds of citizens attended and the benefit exceeded all expectations by raising more than $17,000, which equated to a halfdozen children getting to attend Victory Junction. Hopes are this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit will surpass the past two, as close to 35 event sponsors already have committed to the fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already raised $10,000 up front,â&#x20AC;?

YOURS, MINE, OURS

From page A1 friends. He told everyone about his dad, including the woman who would become his wife, Lisha, and his four children.

JP even named his youngest and only son, born in 2006, the Pacific Islander name of Evani, which means Evans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always mentioned my dad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or grandpa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to them with vague stories of what little information I knew of him,â&#x20AC;? JP said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As time goes by, so do the worries of aging. It was time for me to locate my father before it was too late.â&#x20AC;?

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until a lazy night last June, while watching one of his favorite shows, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Locator,â&#x20AC;? that he felt the spark to act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to my wife Lisha of 16 years and mentioned to her that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Locatorâ&#x20AC;? needs to do a story with me,â&#x20AC;? JP said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MIA for 28 years would sky-rocket their ratings for sure.â&#x20AC;?

The conversation got him thinking, and later that evening JP plopped in front of the computer and began looking. He tried several searches and a few rounds of the $19.95 cost for browsing through every locator Web site out there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nerves were starting to rattle,â&#x20AC;? JP said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Web site came back with several names and listings of previous addresses. I broke it down to one and gave it a shot.

Best life decision I made yet, not including starting a family.â&#x20AC;?

JP finally dialed the number at 10:30 p.m.

North Carolina time on April 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just eight days before Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday.

The caller ID showed a number from AK, which Patrick assumed meant Arkansas.

Not knowing anyone from the state, Patrick was surprised when Joan, who had answered, handed him the phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for you,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The man on the other line asked if this was Patrick Evans White â&#x20AC;&#x201D; another Patrick E.

Patrick and Joan White have a very eclectic family grouping, but the couple have always taken any and all children under their collective wings. Joan has three children, and Patrick came into the marriage with two sons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at them as yours and mine, we look at them as ours,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very, very close to her children, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very close to mine, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ours.â&#x20AC;?

So, the sudden reappearance of Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and missing son, JP, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause any wrinkles in the family chemistry. Joan, her children and the extended family all welcomed the news of the new brother with open arms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been acceptance on everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part,â&#x20AC;?

Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, the only thing she said was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it have been a sister?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry, this is the best I could do on such short notice.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

White lives in the area, so Patrick answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? without much thought.

The man then asked if he had a son named John.

Taken-aback, Patrick said â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? The man thanked Patrick politely and hung up.

States away, JP stared at the phone in a mixture of horror and desolation.

He looked at Lisha and told her he was sure the man he had just spoken to was his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a blow,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was him from my people search report.

I thought maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not meant to be or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for this reunion. I also was thinking that 28 years later my Dad did not want anything to do with me. It hurt but hey, I never had a dad to begin with.â&#x20AC;?

Joan, meanwhile, stopped Patrick as he was hanging up the phone, already forgetting about the mysterious phone call. She asked him if he had just said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a son named John.

Patrick nodded, and said that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Joan asked him again, and again, Patrick denied it.

Finally Joan reminded him that his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is John Patrick, JP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It literally floored me,â&#x20AC;?

Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a son named John, I had a son named JP. Had he said JP or John Patrick it would have broken through, but not John.â&#x20AC;?

Patrick was absolutely devastated, thinking that he may well have missed the moment he had been waiting for over the past

28 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I almost had a heart attack,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heart went into my stomach and it just scared me so much to think that maybe I had missed him, that he had tried to contact me and I had missed him. I was thinking about what that did to him, to put himself out there and then have a man he thinks is his father jerk the rug from beneath his feet.â&#x20AC;?

Patrick lunged for the phone and redialed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Alaska number, he realized â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but got the answering machine. He left a message and tried again. Then he asked Joan to call, but she, too, had to leave a message.

In JPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Anchorage, Alaska, Lisha chatted with a friend, ignoring the persistent beeping of an incoming call. When she hung up an hour-and-a-half later, Lisha checked the caller ID and rushed to the garage to tell JP. The man took the phone, hands shaking, and redialed. Patrick implored Joan to answer the phone, which she did â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much to JPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relief. JP used his full name this time, and Joan knew instantly it was the missing son. Tearfully, she handed Patrick the phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a call that was,â&#x20AC;?

JP said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk about happiness. I could not believe it, that I was talking to my dad.â&#x20AC;?

WORK From page A1 Opened June 1, WellWatchers has cared for five sick children during the month of July â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some of which returned for a second or even third day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and 14 in June. So far all but one of the children have been offspring of Novant employees.

Parents can call the morning of to reserve a space at the center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is currently licensed for 11 children at one time, a number that decreases as the number of young children increases. The center cares for children between the ages of 3 months and 12 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are licensed by the state of North Carolina,â&#x20AC;?

Hollis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By having WellWatchers located in the hospital, we have immediate access to medical staff if the need arises.â&#x20AC;?

When a child arrives at the center, staff conducts a brief screening to determine if the child can be admitted. Kids with a cold, minor flu symptoms, minor surgeries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as dental work or tubes in the ears â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sprains, broken bones, asthma or allergies are clear.

If a child has higher than a 102 degree fever, has vomited more than three times in a 24-hour period, has had diarrhea more than five times in an 8-hour period or has signs of dehydration, the center will refer parents to a doctor.

In general, WellWatchers runs like a typical day care, just with a more relaxed atmosphere. Teachers have a basic lesson plan and various games organized in advance.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have the education aspect,â&#x20AC;? said Deanna Bailey, assistant teacher at WellWatchers as well as The Learning Place and certified in early childhood education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the activities could be something for every age level. They can do them if they feel up for it.â&#x20AC;?

If the kids are too tired or wiped out, however, teachers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t press them into activities. Bean bags and stuffed chairs litter the facility and are available for naps. There also is a TV where the children can watch movies.

Although WellWatchers may be more relaxed than most day cares on TV and activity levels, staff takes hygiene seriously.

All of the toys are plastic that can be cleaned regularly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; none of the plush stuffed animals.

The toys are sanitized every time a child puts them down and moves onto something else, and Bailey says she tries to keep kids from playing with things another child has touched. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit more strict,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enforce washing their hands a lot. We have a lower teacher to child ratio so we can spend more time with our children.â&#x20AC;?

If a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition should worsen during the day, parents, grandparents or guardians are notified instantly so that the child can be moved if necessary. If a child comes to the center three days in a row, he or she must see a doctor before returning for a fourth day.

The idea for the sick child care center stemmed from the need to keep hospital employees at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that during these hard times we were having trouble with trying to keep budget down,â&#x20AC;?

Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought this would help keep our nurses on staff. Most of the time we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have extras to fill in. We used to be able to, but now we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have those extras hanging around.â&#x20AC;?

Without backup physicians or nurses, Bailey said that TMC staff struggled if an employee had to miss work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have these people that are specialized in these things and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many of those who are on staff,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when we have one out, that puts extra work on our staff and our customers. We want to make sure our patients get the best care and our employees arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overworked.â&#x20AC;?

And in a hospital setting, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the respiratory therapist whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out or the pharmacy worker. If any link on the chain is broken, someone has to work harder to pick up the slack and patient care could be compromised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter what position theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, we need them here,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WellWatchers has really helped us out.â&#x20AC;?

Moments after an open gym session at Davidson County Community College on Friday, Storm basketball coach Matt Ridge added a third point guard to his roster for the 2010-11 season.

Danquill “DQ” Sherrill is a 5-5 guard that is transferring from Southern Carolina Prep. Last season he averaged 11.4 points per game to go along with seven assists per outing at Southern Prep.

“He plays much bigger than he is,” said Ridge.

“His speed is something you cannot coach or teach, but you can certainly recruit. If he is not the quickest player we have had here, he is certainly one of them” Sherrill is already drawing comparisons to one of the top point guards to ever play for DCCC. “Sherrill reminds me of Landon Bowers because he can shoot it, can fly up and down the court and just makes his teammates better,” Ridge said.

“He has great vision and understands offensively

Southern Carolina Prep transfer Danquill Sherrill has joined the DCCC hoops program and will play for head coach Matt Ridge next season. Sherrill is a quick 5-5 point guard that distributes the ball well.

Travelers often mark their time on the road by using certain points of interest; state lines, for example, or favorite stops along the way.

Florence, S.C. is a great example of this.

Frequent travelers of Interstate 95 know Florence as the halfway point between New York and Miami, making it an ideal place to stop for a while, take stock of the miles already traveled and speculate about the ones that lie ahead.

Now just barely past the halfway mark — the Lifelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 11 was race number 19 of 36 — the 2010 racing season is preparing to pull into one humdinger of a stopping point.

UNC football program under investigation

GAME REPORT DEADLINES: Monday-Friday 9 p.m. tvillesports@yahoo.com

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour said Thursday the NCAA is investigating one of the school’s programs, but he declined to discuss which sport or what violation may have occurred at the NCAA’s request.

An anonymous source told the Associated Press it was the football program.

“I can only acknowledge that they’ve been here and they have instructed us to maintain their confidence about that visit and that we have and will continue to cooperate every way possible,” Baddour said. “One of those ways of cooperation is to follow their instructions on discussing it publicly.”

Baddour said the school is taking the investigation step-by-step but could not say how long it would last.

The boys dream rifle, then and now OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist The .22 long rifle cartridge is the most popular cartridge in the world. There are multiple reasons for this but the most significant is cost. M.22s also make excellent trainer rifles since they’re quiet, accurate and have hardly any recoil. Millions of .22 rounds are sold each year and even the most

expensive match ammunition is cheaper than almost any centerfire round. Normal .22 ammunition costs about five to six cents per round.

With all these attributes, it’s no wonder that there are scores of rifles chambered for this truly remarkable caliber. Many are simple utility rifles that have served as workhorses for sportsmen seeing duty in target practice, plinking and small game hunting. These guns have reasonable accuracy and most are very reasonably priced.

Of course, there are also competition and training rifles designed for accuracy to both train shooters to move up to larger calibers and target rifles that will literally put 10 bullets in the same hole provided

the shooter does his work. These guns can cost into the thousands and are truly marvels of engineering and the gunmakers art.

There’s another category of .22 rifles that fulfill another need.

These guns simulate larger, more powerful rifles in look and feel and are styled to attract the shooter who likes a certain, more powerful type of gun, but may not be able to afford to shoot it a lot because of ammunition cost.

Some of these guns are almost exact replicas that resemble the donor firearm so much only the experienced eye will see the difference and others simply mimic the style and operating functions.

This week, I shot two guns that represent the ultimate boys fantasy

rifle from two different generations 50 years apart. My generation grew up watching cowboy movies and we pined for a lever action rifle like the ones John Wayne, Chuck Connors and James Arness carried in a scabbard on their saddle.

Marlin answered this call long before I arrived on the scene with the Model 39A. The first variation of the Model 39 appeared in 1891 and was used by Annie Oakley. It’s the longest continuous production run for any rifle in history and over two million have been sold.

Model 39s have solid walnut stocks and hefty barrels and the guns feel like a serious rifle.

With a tubular magazine, the 39A will hold 19, .22 long rifle cartridges.

It’s as accurate as most of the bolt action rifles it competes with and more accurate than many. The solid feel and smooth lever action make the shooter feel he’s shooting something more powerful than just a .22 and the Model 39A has made many a young man happy.

While the Marlin 39A was the dream rifle for many in my generation, it might still speed the heart of a modern 15year-old boy. More likely though, the Smith and Wesson M&P 22 would double the pulse rate of a modern 15-year-old.

The Marlin’s design was a practical application to make a quality gun.

S&W’s new boys dream rifle is a new design meant to mimic the current battle rifle our soldiers carry in the cur-

rent Gulf engagements.

Built with the latest manufacturing techniques, the M&P is a functionally exact copy to the M4 battle rifle our troops currently carry.

It’s the same size, a little lighter in weight and every function works the same way as the real thing except, of course, it’s not full auto. In fact, a regular AR15 replacement trigger will fit right into the lower receiver.

It comes with a 25round staggered magazine, the bolt holds back on the last shot, the sights are identical with regular A2 M16/AR15 sights, it’s a true rimfire replica of the real thing.

It has the adjustable stock, a hand-guard with mounting surfaces for all kinds of real M2/M16/

CHASE From page B1 the name of an event, or a race car driver, the first words out of my mouth would have been “Mario Andretti and the Indianapolis 500.”

There’s a great story in the book “Bill France Jr.: The Man Who Made NASCAR” about his dad, Bill France Sr., who founded NASCAR. Mr. France, it seems, had worked at IMS as a young man and marveled, as millions of fans have over the years, at the sheer scope and grandeur of the place.

In the manner of competitors everywhere, the American Automobile Association, which sanctioned the Indianapolis 500, had developed a rivalry with NASCAR, probably wanting to stomp the offending little spark out before it had a chance to grow into the blaze of racing glory it is today.

So much for that plan.

Mr. France and his wife visited the venerable speedway in 1954, only to be escorted from the premises. That’s right; as inconceivable as it now seems, the Frances were kicked out of IMS. That had to sting a little. The track in Indianapolis was, and is, famous. So famous, in fact, that it appears on the short list of people and places so monumentally well known and popular that they are instantly identified by a single word. Madonna. Daytona. Elvis. Gallagher.

(OK, maybe not Gallagher.) And the Brickyard.

You have to accomplish something really big to become that famous, and the designers of the Brickyard took the concept of “building it bigger” to an entirely new level. Vatican City, the Rose Bowl, Yankee Stadium, Churchill Downs and the Roman Colosseum could all fit inside the 2.5-mile oval. This covers offensive and de-

fensive strategies, gladiators, the occasional incident out of left field, horsepower and prayer.

Throw in the national anthem and you have a pretty succinct description of a NASCAR race, when you think about it.

The reason opposites attract is that often when they get to know one another, they discover they are not so different after all.

That process can take time, though, and ultimately the Frances got the last laugh. Leaving (under duress) the home of what, to that point, was surely considered America’s signature motorsports event, they headed back to Florida and soon started work on their own 2.5-mile track, the Daytona International Speedway, host of what is now known as “The Great American Race,” the Daytona 500.

In 1994, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing made its debut at IMS. That contentious early rivalry spawned what has turned out to be the happiest of unions. The inaugural Brickyard 400 hosted the largest crowd ever to witness a NASCAR event, and has now become one of the most highly anticipated events of the entire racing season.

The winners’ list includes names like Earnhardt, Jarrett, Gordon, Elliott and Stewart. This year, a new name could join that list of notables, or a repeat winner could once again lower his face to those bricks to kiss his gritty but beautiful bride. Who knows?

It is said that the secret of a long and successful marriage lies in the ability to sing a duet and two solos at the same time. So regardless of the outcome, as they celebrate their 17th anniversary this year, fans can rest assured that NASCAR and the Brickyard are definitely still playing our song.

Playing time is available for the speedster, but he will have plenty of competition for the job. Davidson has already signed Chad Taylor and Derrick Mayo, giving the Storm plenty of depth at the No. 1 spot on the floor. With some combo guards that can slide over and play the spot as well, DCCC should not have any trouble keeping guys fresh for late game situations.

“We signed three guys because of our style of play,” Ridge said.

“We are going to rotate them in and out rather quickly and hopefully by the last three or four minutes of the game, we will be more fresh and finish strong.”

Davidson opens the season Nov. 1 at home in Brinkley Gym against the Milligan College junior varsity.

AR16 accessories, and uses the same safety and handgrip though there is no forward assist.

With the sights that come on the rifle, the accuracy is quite good.

I managed groups about a half inch at 25 yards off a bench rest, but that’s not what this rifle is about. The M&P 22 is about shooting fast, close targets for fun. It’s a great practice rifle for guys shooting threegun and tactical rifle matches, but it’s even better for the kind of shooting young people like, plinking with reactive targets that swing, fall over, or ring when you shoot them.

At just over four pounds and with a very short total length, it’s a great plinking gun for anyone who likes the look and feel of military rifles. OK, the Marlin is more accurate and, really, I do like it best, but the M&P is a great gun from a modern perspective. I guess I’ll

have to get my 14-yearold grandson out to the range and we can do some more testing.

Army veteran helps further soldiers’ education THS graduate shares love of learning with fellow soldiers

BY DUFF MCFADDEN U.S. ARMY MASTER SERGEANT

CONTINGENCY OPERATING SITE, MAREZ, Iraq – An educated soldier is the best asset of today’s Army, as a skilled and knowledgeable warrior reinforces tomorrow’s flexible, adaptive and competent future force.

Soldiers of the 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division are finding the opportunity to further their education while deployed to Mosul, Iraq.

Besides being responsible for more than 1,200 troops within his battalion, Command Sgt. Maj. Jimmy Pegues, 46, the 26th Brigade Support Battalion command sergeant major, is helping provide the Army with better educated and more competent leaders.

This persistent and motivated North Carolinan recently taught a “Principles of Supervision,” class and is scheduled to instruct a “Managerial Communication Skills” course for the University of Maryland University College – Europe in August.

“I tailored the class to the times I had available. I teach the class from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and then work late into the night. I brought my initial plan to my commander and he said he didn’t see any problems, as long as it didn’t interfere with my mission. I still go out on convoys, do briefs and attend meetings,” said the Thomasville, N.C., native.

With the recommendation of Sgt. 1st Class Vincent Brown, the brigade educational NCO, Pegues submitted a teaching application to the University of Maryland. He was accepted, and in April, began his first class, “Personnel Counseling,” with 13 students.

Besides being responsible for 1,200 soldiers within the 26th Brigade Support Battalion, Command Sgt. Maj. Jimmy Pegues is helping provide the Army with better educated and more competent leaders, while teaching college courses in Mosul, Iraq. The 26th BSB is deployed as part of the 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division.

“They liked the class and the soldiers wanted the opportunity to better themselves,” he said. “For them to see a command sergeant major teaching, it’s like ‘wow.’ I have a relaxed mode of teaching, so I quickly put them at ease.

“Teaching is simply a matter of sharing experiences,” said Pegues.

“I cannot only relate to the stuff in the book, but I’m also able to share my experiences, both from my life and from the Army.

“I have to be careful, though.

Even though I teach in the military, I need to think of them as students, rather than as military students. In a civilian environment, you can’t keep referring back to your military experience. I may have civilians in my class, so I have to tailor myself to the group. I don’t want to bore them with all that military stuff,” Pegues said.

After Pegues was initially accepted to teach as an adjutant instructor, he began to build

his first class. He created a syllabus and lesson plan, as well as tests and a grading system.

Once the classes were loaded into the GoArmyEd system, the soldiers were able to enroll, which gave the command sergeant major an idea of how many students to expect.

Classes are scheduled for eight weeks, or 48 “contact” hours.

“However, I condensed it, cut an hour and added a day.

We have 16 class meetings and meet for three hours. They also get time for their term papers and projects,” Pegues said.

For Spc. Shantell Agnew, 22, of HHC, 26th BSB, the college course offered a chance to “help develop me more personally and professionally. Professionally, it gives me more promotion points, and personally, I gain a better understanding of how to be a leader,” said the Muskegon, Mich., resident.

The class allowed Spc. Rebecca Wilson, 38, of Headquarters and Headquarters Company 26th BSB, and a Chatanooga,

tion has achieved a much higher foothold within the military system, he noted. And it’s not just within the battalion – promotion boards Army-wide are looking at soldiers’ levels of education and self-improvement.

Unfortunately, while many soldiers want to attend school, there are those who don’t have the opportunity due to mission requirements and scheduling.

Pegues joined the military in June 1981 via the delayed entry program, after graduating from Thomasville High School in North Carolina. He earned his Associates of Arts degree in political science from Austin Peay State University (1989), his Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies from Columbia College of Missouri (2004), and his Masters of Business Administration degree in Military Operations from Touro University International, Cyprus, Calif. (2008).

“When I came into the Army in 1981, I had no college back then, although I always wanted to go,” said Pegues. The Army allowed me the opportunity to educate myself. It made me more knowledgeable and a better leader. Education is the future.”

He served as the Fort Lee, Va., NCO Academy commandant prior to coming to the 26th BSB. A 29-year military veteran, he’s served as the battalion’s senior enlisted soldier since October 2009.

While he hopes to get in 35 years of service,“If it comes down to it, I’ll retire at Fort Stewart. That’s been my home for the last 15 years,” he said.

AREA NEWS State DOT employees awarded for heroic actions TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH — N.C. Department of Transportation road crews work in hot weather all the time, but some days, the job heats up in ways even the most seasoned veteran may not expect. That was the case for five NCDOT transportation workers who received the department’s Extra Mile Award today for putting out an engine fire on a WinstonSalem/Forsyth County school bus carrying 19 students.

NCDOT presents the award to employees who go the “extra mile” to provide excellent service to the traveling public.

“I congratulate these employees on receiving this award,” said Transportation Secretary Gene Conti. “Their actions demonstrate the commitment and dedication the department has to public safety.”

Employees Greg Dellacona, Nikoma Emanuel, Randy Munn, Jack Roland and Mike Westmoreland were heading down Clemmonsville Road in Winston-Salem on June 2 when Dellacona, the crew’s supervisor, noticed something unusual about a Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County school bus coming toward them in the opposite lane.

“Smoke was pouring out from under its hood,” Dellacona said.

“After the bus passed us, it pulled over to the side of the road, so we turned around and headed over to where it was parked.”

The men grabbed fire extinguishers from their trucks and rushed to the flaming engine while the bus driver evacuated the 19 high school students still onboard.

“It looked as though a small electrical fire had burned a hole through the fuel line, spilling gasoline into the engine compartment,” said Munn, who also works as a volunteer firefighter. “Everything was completely engulfed in flames, and the inside of the bus was filling up with smoke.”

When the fire department arrived, the students and bus driver were safely off the bus, and the NCDOT crew had completely put out the flames. In all, it took six fire extinguishers to get the blaze under control.

The crew stayed at the scene to help direct traffic until the roadway was cleared.

The next day, a representative from WinstonSalem/Forsyth County Schools visited the crew members and personally thanked them for their help.

“Most people do what is expected of them; few do what is unexpected,” said Rhonda Fleming, transportation director for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. “These men went beyond the call

of duty and reached out to those in need. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for being there for our students.”

Though they appreciate the thanks and awards, neither Dellacona nor the other crew members see their actions as anything out of the ordinary.

The most memorable funeral ever MUSICALLY SPEAKING

JOSEF WALKER Guest Columnist

Shortly after The Rev. R. Marsden Kitley, OSL, came to serve First United Methodist Church, there was the occasion for him to officiate at a funeral service. At the request of the family, the service was to be held in the funeral home chapel rather than the sanctuary of First Church.

The family had requested that in addition to the pastor, they would like to have Bill Jarret, who was the choir director of the church, sing. Since I was church organist, I was asked to play for the service.

Bill Jarrett and I had provided music on several occasions at the funeral home but this was the first time that the new pastor had conducted a funeral service other than in the church sanctuary since he had been in Thomasville.

I arrived at the funeral home about 30 minutes prior to the service and started playing a program of quiet contemplative, calming music.

Bill and I had rehearsed after choir rehearsal on Wednesday night and so there was no need for us to rehearse at the funeral home the following day prior to the funeral.

Marsden had arrived before I did and left two copies of the Order of Worship at the organ console, one for me and the other for Bill. In addition to two scripture lessons and prayers, there was to be an organ meditation and two solos. The first solo was “How Great Thou Art,” and for the life of me I cannot remember the second one. When you finish reading this article you may understand why.

Did I mention that this was Marsden’s first funeral held at the funeral home instead of the church? I thought should fill him in on

the arrangement of the funeral home, since he had not been there before. I told him that the organ console was in the front center of the chapel with a small choir loft on the right hand side and the pulpit on the left hand side. I also warned him that the pulpit was raised and so he would need to step up on the raised platform to use the pulpit.

After playing for about 25 minutes, the pallbearers entered and took their seats. Then the family, led by the pastor, processed in and took their seats while he made his way to the pulpit area. Following the order of worship he left for me, he delivered the Words of Grace, a prayer and a scripture lesson.

Then he was to sit down and Bill would sing “How Great Thou Art.” You will remember that I had told Marsden about the step up to the pulpit?

Apparently, I should have told him that he would need to step down as well … because he did not. He stepped straight back and fell down. Now I don’t mean he stumbled or tripped, I mean he fell down — BAM! It scared all of us half to death.

There was a short pause of indeterminate duration and he slowly pulled himself up by the chancel rail with this “my Lord, I can’t believe I did that” look on his face, which by the way, was very red at this point. Bill Jarrett said he looked like “Kilroy” looking over the rail at us. Marsden straightened his ministerial stole regained his dignity and sat down.

When I realized that he was alive and well, it suddenly struck me as extremely funny that he had fallen down.

I had not mentioned that the family of the deceased is seated right in front of me only about 12 – 15 feet away. I immediately added two more books of music to the music desk of the organ so that they could not see the amused look on my face.

Now it was time for the first solo. I had played no more that two measures of the introduction until the freight train rolled through town. It was blowing its whistle and

continued to do so until it reached Archdale. It was very hard to hear anything. I finished the introduction and nodded to Bill that it was time to sing. Now, I don’t need to tell you that in a contest for volume between an electronic organ and a freight train the train will always win, hands down. Unfortunately, Bill tuned to the freight train rather than to the pitch I was playing on the organ. It took the entire first stanza and well into the chorus before it became readily apparent to everyone that the soloist and organ were not in the same key.

You’ve heard of a joyful noise? This was not one. About mid-way through the second stanza, we were able to transition to the same key. By this time I was laughing out loud and trying to duck down behind the music desk so that no one could see me. I knew not to look at Bill because he was still amused over Marden’s recent trip (pardon the pun).

I truly have very little memory of what may have happened after the first solo. This may be a blessing. By the end of the funeral, one could tell by my tear stained face that I had been truly moved by the service. I did my best to try to have a somber expression on my face as I left the chapel, although on the inside my giggle box was turned upside down. I’m sure that this is the day my hair started turning from blonde to white.

In the parking lot, Bill stopped me and said, “What key did you play that solo in, ‘L’? I laughed and said, “Of course not, it was in ‘D.’ To which they responded, “Well it sure sounded like ‘L’ to me.”

I realize now they were just trying to cheer me up, to encourage me. I will share other special moments with you later.

Although embarrassing to me, they may prove entertaining to you. I hope sharing these experiences help you keep a song in your heart.
