Summertime Service Program keeps children fed while out of school BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

T

homasville City Schools will continue its Federal Funded Summer Food Service Program for another month-and-a-half, providing Chair City children with a hot meal free of charge. The program, which began on

June 14, runs until Aug. 13 and serves a free lunch to all children 18 years of age or less. “The goal is to feed the children that may not be able to eat a nutritious meal during the day while their parents are at work,” said Brenda Watford, TCS child nutrition director. “We’re so glad that we can do this.” Summer lunch serves hot lunches similar to those children would receive in school. Though Watford doesn’t know exactly when Thomasville began the program, she says it has been around her entire 16 years with the school system.

And the program hasn’t gone unused. “We’re feeding about 900 to 1,000 children a day,” Watford said. “It’s awesome.” Last year, TCS expanded the program’s reach, serving lunches through a van delivery system at major school bus stops. “With the way the economy is, some of the parents couldn’t get their children here and some couldn’t ride their bikes to come and eat,” Watford said. “We just wanted anyone who wanted to

Faced with an already difficult budget for the upcoming year, Thomasville City Schools couldn’t afford to lose any more money from the state. Dealing with discretionary cuts was one thing, but losing more than half a million dollars on top of that would have put TCS behind the proverbial 8-ball. Thanks to a joint effort from state representatives and Davidson County Schools, TCS will receive its full allotment from the Disadvantaged Student Supplemental Fund (DSSF), Name here a program that gives money to improve the education of at-risk students. DSSF was created six years ago following the Leandro court case that determined all children in North Carolina have a basic right to a sound education, and TCS was one of the initial 16 school systems to receive funding from the program. TCS is expected to get $650,000 this year from DSSF. “The big hit was the work [House Majority leader] Hugh Holliman and others did with saving the Leandro money,” TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin said. “We knew there was a possibility of losing around $1.4 million in this county alone if this DSSF was taken away. [Holliman] fought hard, along with some other folks to save that

Contemporary music vs. hymns MUSICALLY SPEAKING

JOSEF WALKER Guesst Columnist

Recently a number of friends who are also musicians have commented on my column and have wanted to share some of their experiences with me. A dear friend of mine who is also a church organist, at the suggestion of her pastor, sent me the following. It’s way too good not to share. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The Difference between “contemporary music” and “hymns.” An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big church in the center of town. He came home and his wife asked him how it was. “Well,” said the farmer. “It was good. They did something different however. They sang praise choruses instead of regular songs, you know, hymns.” “Praise choruses,” said his wife. “What are those?” “Oh, they’re okay,” said the farmer, “they’re kind of like hymns, only different.” “What’s the difference?’ asked his wife. “Well,” the farmer said, “it’s like this. If I were to say to you, ‘Martha, the cows are in the corn,’ well, that would be a hymn. If on the other hand, I were to say

High Point Arts Council to hold ‘Day in the Park’ TIMES STAFF REPORT

High Point Area Arts Council is inviting visual artists — fine arts and craft persons — to participate in the 40th annual Day in the Park festival scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 18. Five awards in the amount of $100 each will be selected from all participating artists. Judging will include only handcrafted items. Exhibit booth space is 15 ft. long by 10 ft. deep.

Held throughout High Point’s City Lake Park, Day in the Park features live entertainment, Adventure Island activities for children, a Folk Life area, community friends and food, as well as fine arts and crafts booths.

For more information or to receive an application, call Travis Compton, Community Outreach Coordinator at the High Point Area Arts Council, at (336) 889-2787 ext. 26 or at rtcompton@highpointarts.org, or visit the website at www.highpointarts.org/DIP.asp.

to you, ‘Martha, Martha, Martha, Oh, Martha, Martha, Martha, the cows, the big cows, the brown cows, the black cows, the white cows, the cows, cows, cows are in the corn, in the corn, in the corn, in the corn, the corn, corn, corn,’ Then if I were to repeat the whole thing three or four times, well, that would be a praise chorus.” As luck would have it, the exact same Sunday, a young man from the city attended the small town church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was. “Well,” said the young man, “it was pretty cool. They did something different, though. They sang hymns instead of regular songs.” “Hymns,” said his wife. “What are those?” “Oh, they’re okay. They’re sort of like regular songs, only different,” said the young man. “Well, what’s the difference?” asked his wife. “Well,” the young man said, “it’s like this. If I were to say to you, ‘Martha, the cows are in the corn,’ well, that would be a regular song. If, on the other hand, I were to say to you: ‘Oh, Martha, dear Martha, hear thou my cry. Inclinest thine ear to the words of my mouth. Turn thou thy whole wondrous ear by and by to the righteous, inimitable, glorious truth. For the way of the animals who can explain, There in their heads is no shadow of sense,

Hearkenest they in God’s sun or his rain Unless from the mild, tempting corn they are fenced. Yea those cows in glad bovine, rebellious delight Have torn free from their shackles, their warm pens eschewed, They, goaded by minions of darkness and night, They all of my sweet corn have happily chewed. So look to that bright shinning day by and by When no foul corruptions of earth are reborn, Where no vicious animal makes my soul cry, And I no longer see those foul cows in the corn.’ Then, if I do a key change on the last verse, well, that would be a hymn.” Music is the universal language. It’s also a great healer. What if not only in music, but more importantly, in our daily lives, rather than always pointing out what is different about us, we were to celebrate the ways in which we are alike; and try to be accepting of the fact that we are not all alike. We could put less importance on the differences that separate us. I think it might make us happier people and make it easier to keep a song in our hearts. Guest Columnist Josef Walker is organ master and choirmaster of Heidelberg United Church of Christ in Thomasville.

Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction TIMES STAFF REPORT

For the fifth year out of the past six, financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction with full-service brokerage firms, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study, announced the two Thomasville financial advisors, Tim O’Flaherty and Kevin White. The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full service investment firms based on seven factors: investment advisor, portfolio performance, account information, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution. The J.D. Pow-

er and Associates study found that Edward Jones “performed particularly well across the two highest-weighted factors: Investment Advisor and Investment Performance.� “As stated on their website, Edward Jones advisors strive for personal attention and believe in providing one-on-one service,� according to the J.D. Power study. “This is evident in their efforts to engage in proactive conversations regarding a multitude of their investors’ concerns, including reviewing an existing strategic plan or developing one for a new investor, and initiating discussions regarding portfolio/asset allocation or investment needs.� Edward Jones’ overall score climbed 10 points

over last year, when it also was ranked highest among the 12 largest firms rated. “Being ranked highest in investor satisfaction for full-service brokerage firms by J.D. Power and Associates five times now is a great honor and quite an accomplishment,� said Jim Weddle, managing partner of Edward Jones. “It results from always having our clients’ best interests at heart as we work to help them through the tough times as well as the good times.� The 2010 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 4,460 investors who primarily invest with one of the 12 firms included in the study. The study was fielded in May 2010.

I hope my service will benefit the region at this critical time.�

Explore others’ paths in crucial conversations TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist There’s one more skill in the Crucial Conversations system: Skill No. 6: Explore other’s paths. This chapter in the book is subtitled, “How to Listen When Others Blow Up or Clam Up.� In some cases when the other party shouts or slinks off to sulk, you may choose to simply leave it alone. But if the problem is still out there and needs to be resolved, exploring their path may be the only way to increase the shared pool of meaning. Is there something you can do to open up a dialogue? Each time we initiate dialogue the crucial conversation formula is to ‘Start with Heart’. What do we really want? What are the facts from our perspective and what is our story? How is our story impacting the way we see the other person? Once we have wrestled with the all-important self questions, then we are ready

to listen in these ways: Be sincere. Be curious. Stay curious. Be patient. When sincerity, curiosity and patience are lacking – the other party will feel it is unsafe to express their true thoughts. That is why they’ve sought sanctuary in verbal violence or silence. Real conversation felt just too threatening. It is safety that they need, although the behavior doesn’t always tell us that. How do we supply safety? This is the part of listening where we have to use our mouths ‌ we ask. Crucial Conversations suggests a formula that includes powerful listening techniques, some of which you may have used before. It is key to remain calm and collected when using this model. The formula is called AMMP:

Ask to Get Things Rolling Examples: “I’d like to hear your opinion, OR Let me know how you see this.�

Mirror to Confirm Feelings Examples: “You seem upset to me, OR You sound angry even though you say you’re not�

Paraphrase to Acknowledge the Story Examples: “Let me see if I’ve got this straight, OR OK, what

I’m hearing is ‌�

Prime When You’re Getting Nowhere Examples: “Do you think if we go forward with this plan that it will ‌â€? When the conversation ball starts rolling again, keep it in play with the author’s last tip on exploring others’ paths. Whenever possible: Agree when you agree. Build when others leave out key pieces. Compare when you differ. Working together well depends on it!

The Obama paradox VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist You don’t need to be a political pollster, much less a worried Democrat, to know that the president’s approval ratings have plummeted. “Down to the immediate family,” we used to say mockingly, when President Bush was at about the same point. Of course, it’s a little bit better than that — down to the hardcore, the yellow dog Democrats (as in, I’d rather vote for a yellow dog than a Republican), but there’s no denying that the bloom is off the rose, and any other cliche you can think of. The paradox is just how “effective” the president has been, at least if you define “effective” as doing what he said he’d do when he ran for office. He said he’d get comprehensive health care reform through Congress (like every Democrat who won and lost in the past 20 years has said), but he actually did it. He said he’d push for major financial regulation, and you can also check that one off the list as done. Big stimulus package to create jobs — did that. More diversity at the top — say yes to that, with triple the number of women on the High Court (or about to be). He said Afghanistan was the important war, the one he’d focus on — and he has. He appealed to Hispanic voters by promising not to play punitive immigration politics — and his Justice Department has now sued Arizona for allegedly intruding on federal supremacy to shape immigration policy. Like him or hate him, the one thing you can’t say about Barack Obama is that he is the typical politician who makes promises he doesn’t keep. He hasn’t. He made promises and he kept them. Could that be the problem? In delivering on his promises, in doing what he said he’d do, the national debt has skyrocketed. It wasn’t so many years ago that we used to sit around on campaign planes trying to figure out

how to make people actually care about the debt. You could see eyes roll over as candidates started explaining the problems with a big deficit. “Mortgaging our children’s future...” Yawn. “For every man, woman and child in this country, the debt is...” Snooze. I might be the only person in America who remembers this, but thenGov. Bill Clinton’s endless speech at the 1988 Democratic Convention was, in too large part, an effort to explain the impact of the federal deficit on our place in the world economy. Even he couldn’t make it come alive. Lesser mortals couldn’t come close. No more. In recent polls, the debt now ties with terrorism on Americans’ list of their big fears. The debt? Tied with terrorism. I kid you not. This may be good news for our economic literacy, but it is not good news for the president or the Democrats. The awareness of the deficit is a sign that people are coming to understand that the country’s economic problems are not going away; that the “stimulus” package stimulated more debt than jobs, or at least that’s how it feels; that there is no easy or quick fix around the corner, and that every new government program — even the ones you like — just adds to the balance sheet. Even the rich have stopped spending money. The secret is out. The future is not secure. If Democrats are to avoid disaster in November, candidates — as well as the man at the top — have to address that insecurity. They have to reckon with the increasing realization that all of the activity of the last almost two years, all the programs so many of us were for, supported and worked for, appear as a double-edged sword, at best, in current economic terms. You can’t talk about how many jobs have been created without admitting how much it has cost, or answering the question where we’re going to get the money to pay it back. No one’s snoozing in the back of the room anymore. They’re looking for some answers, and the Democrats’ future depends on their willingness to address those questions openly and honestly.

Aging hero a concern for fans VIEWPOINT

ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer One of the hardest things to do in life is watch people you care about grow ill and eventually pass on. Facing our own mortality is a grave reminder of how precious and so very short life really is, and watching a family member, friend or idol die is a difficult process for anyone. Some people seem immune to the natural progression of life. Throughout our lives, we gravitate to certain individuals who make us happy for whatever reason, and those people are put on pedestals of admiration and respect, protected from the idea of death. Growing up, guys like Mike Schmidt and Dan Marino were iconic figures to me, men who with one swing of the bat or one quick snap of the wrist could make me whole day a good one. Watching them both retire signaled a time of change in my life, a time when my boyhood heroes came back to earth as ordinary people who could no longer play in a field of dreams. There’s a difference in a player retiring and a coach hanging up his whistle. When Dean Smith retired

from the University of North Carolina in 1998, the announcement came as a shock to me. As a Tar Heel fan, the notion of UNC taking the court without Coach Smith on the sideline was unthinkable. In the years since, I’ve been able to meet Coach Smith a couple of times, never long enough to make any kind of real impression on one of the game’s great minds. While ultimately meaningless to him, that one handshake and recognition of my existence in the underbelly of the Dean Dome 10 years go meant more to me than Coach will ever realize. When news surfaced this past week that Coach Smith was suffering from memory loss at times, the realization set in that this great man, who has done so much for the state, is not immune to the natural progression of time. Nobody lives forever, but a nieve part of me kind of thought Coach Smith might. I spoke with my father last week and he hold me his mother wasn’t doing so well. She’s 95 and can’t remember anything, living the rest of her days in a nursing home not knowing who her son is or why he visits every Sunday. My grandfather died of Parkisan’s and spent the last few years of his life confused and wondering who most of us were. Watching this great man wither away in front of our eyes was a helpless, frustrating feeling for my entire family, and my heart goes out to those close to Coach Smith. Childhood fairy tales paint the picture of heroes being immortalized with statues and stories of their greatness. Generations pass

on legends of overcoming impossible odds or charitable acts that benefit the lives of many. These stories never mention cancer, Alzheimer’s disease or Parkisan’s. Chapters of loneliness, memory loss and sickness get tucked away in the part of us that doesn’t want to believe such things happen to those we care about and admire the most. Our experiences make us who we are and our memories are what we all have that is truly unique and priceless. Take away our memories and what’s left? For someone like Dean Smith, who knows so much about basketball and life in general, to be suffering from memory loss just doesn’t seem fair. A man like coach Smith should be spending his days reflecting on a fairy tale life, surrounded by family and friends who love him, and not struggling to remember faces of those who care about his well-being. Hope is everlasting, and I will lean on the thought that coach Smith will get better and his memories will stay with him for as long as he’s with us. I feel comfortable in speaking on behalf on Tar Heel nation in saying our thoughts and prayers are with Coach Smith and his family. No one should be stripped of who they are, especially not a person like Dean Smith, who is a hero of mine and I’m sure of many others who were lucky enough to share in his achievements, both on and off the basketball court.

Area children get both a mouth and belly full of food at Thomasville Primary School cafeteria Wednesday as part of the Summer Lunch Program.

SERVICE From page 1 come to be able to.� That aspect of the lunch has been a success, Watford says, feeding about 400 kids a day. “It doesn’t get any better than that,� said Janet Willingham, cafeteria manager at Thomasville Primary School. “It’s a very good thing because we have a lot of hungry children in Thomasville. It’s nice to get them a hot and healthy meal every day.� Ensuring that area children not only get a solid meal but that it’s a healthy one remains one of the main missions of summer lunch. Watford says nutrition is especially important at an early age because kids are growing. “We don’t want to see any child hungry, and nutrition is so important for each child,� she said. “We’re hoping that later on in life, they’ll be healthier than some of us are now.�

SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM

Meals will be provided at the sites and times as follows: Thomasville Middle Cafeteria – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Primary School Cafeteria – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. * F.D. Thomas Education Center – noon to 12:30 p.m. * Emmanuel Baptist Church – 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. * James Avenue – noon to 12:30 p.m. * Van route addresses: 118 Dedmond Court (10:45-11 a.m.) 40 Hunter St. and Main St. (11:05-11:20 a.m.) College St. and Ingram St. (11:30-11:45 a.m.) Memorial Park and Leonard St. (11:50 a.m. – noon) Church and Highland Ave. (12:25-12:35 p.m.) Douglas Drive and Cohen St. (12:40-12:50 p.m.) Polk and Dillon St. (12:35-12:50 p.m.) Warner and Taylor (1-1:10 p.m.) * Time varies For more information, contact Brenda Watford, Child Nutrition Director, at 474-4219 The provided lunch replaces the soda parents often quickly throw into a child’s bag lunch with milk and juice and substitutes fruits and vegetables for a bag of chips, said Jerry Burchett, who is involved with the after-school program and brings a group of children to TPS for lunch each day.

FUNDS From page 1 funding, and they did it.� Holliman said he and fellow House representatives Stan Bingham and Jerry Dockham lobbied to keep DSSF money in Davidson County rather than see the funds used for something else. Lexington City Schools (LCS) was looking at losing close to $1 million from Leandro funding. “We were able to not use that money for other items people wanted to Mock use it for,� said Holliman. “We decided to keep it right where it’s at. We did some things in the education budget like redoing the lottery formula that takes money out of capital expenditures and put into teachers to make Holliman sure we keep them in the classroom. It impacted greatly Thomasville and Lexington City school systems.� Tobin said Davidson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Fred Mock played a key role in helping TCS and LCS keep the DSSF money by lobbying the General Assembly earlier this year. “It’s good to have that relationship,� Tobin said. “We have a superintendent in a neighboring school system and a school board who really fought on our behalf to save that money. They didn’t really have a piece of the pie in that money.� Being that Thomasville and Lexington both reside in Davidson county, Mock said he was more than willing to help and hopes that all three school systems stick together during a tough economic climate. “We asked [the General Assembly] to do all they could to keep that Leandro money in Lexington and Thomasville, and not put the meat ax to it to save money in the budget,� said Mock. “It doesn’t matter what the issue is, if the three schools systems can stand together for the welfare of the students we’re going to being stronger than if we di-

Burchett added that providing food during the day makes things easier on parents – who don’t have to pack or pay for it – and for daycare staff – who don’t have to prepare their kids for lunch time. “I think it’s a wonderful, wonderful program,� Willingham said. “We wish we could get more people involved.�

Story in Saturday’s Times vide up. It’s a dangerous scenario when school systems begin to divide up and nitpick over pieces of the pie.� TCS still had to deal with a $250,000 budget shortfall, resulting in the elimination of five positions that was managed through attrition and retirements and not layoffs. Tobin said TCS was hit with another cut recently when TCS lost $145,000 from North Carolina Virtual Public Schools, an online program for students. “I’m not too happy about that,� Tobin said. “We’re having to deal with how to fund that program and we’ve had, over the years, a tremendous amount of students to be a part of it.� With this year’s budget in tact, TCS and DCS are now focusing on a very gloomy outlook for the 2011-12 school year. Key stimulus funding from the Recovery and Reinvestment is scheduled to run out, leaving the state with an even bigger deficit. “We get about $1.4 million from the stabilization money,� said Tobin. “If that money goes away and it’s not replaced with any revenue from the state, we’ve got our hands full. Any time you take $1.4 million away from a $25 million budget, that’s a lot of money.� Mock is concerned DCS could lose as much as $10 million next year if the economy doesn’t turn around, forcing state lawmakers to decide if education truly is a priority. “It’s going to be an insurmountable task, and school boards and the General Assembly are going to have some tough, tough decisions next June,� said Mock. “The question is are we going to continue putting children first? It will be examined and re-examined as resources become tight.� Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Tom Dorzweiler refuses to let the word quit be associated with his ball club. The HiToms are a dismal 12-31 and are nearing last place in the entire league, but that does not mean they are ready to give up just yet. Though the hopes of winning a Coastal Plain League title are dashed, the HiToms have set a new goal — one they hope to accomplish with 12 games remaining. “Our main goal right now is to get 20 wins by the end of the season and send these players out on a positive,” said Dorzweiler. A quick glance at the results reveal this team has not been as bad as the record may indicate. The Tommies have lost 11 games by a lone run. That kind of statistic can

Heels ‘uplifted’ after meeting BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — The North Carolina football team met for 68 minutes Tuesday afternoon, but the players didn’t have much to share afterward as they left Kenan Stadium. The meeting had been scheduled before news of an NCAA investigation allegedly involving improper contact between agents and players broke a week ago. The Tar Heels typically hold a meeting on the last day of classes for the second session of summer school. Tuesday’s meeting is the last time the entire team will be together before reporting for training camp Aug. 5 and then beginning practice Aug. 6. “Just a little goodbye meeting,” junior defensive end Robert Quinn said. “A little break before

we come back for training camp. It went pretty good.” Quinn said the mood of the team was “uplifted,” as the Tar Heels are excited for training camp. When asked if the NCAA inves-

Penalties handed out to Edwards, Keselowski for actions at Gateway NASCARMEDIA.COM DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has penalized the No. 60 team and the No. 22 driver for rule violations committed during last Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Gateway International Raceway. The penalties come as a result of violating Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing/ aggressive driving) of the 2010 NASCAR

Rule Book. Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 60, has been penalized with the loss of 60 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship driver points, fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.

He said he isn’t worried about the investigation becoming a distraction. “It’s here, but we’re going to look right past it and worry about the season,” Quinn said. Senior cornerback Kendric Burney said he wasn’t supposed to talk about the meeting and just walk away. Senior quarterback T.J. Yates gave a similar response. “I can’t talk about it,” Yates said. On Monday, Yates posted a message on his Twitter account about golfing with a friend: “… don’t worry NCAA its ok we’ve got a prior relationship.” Senior defensive lineman Marvin Austin, who sources said has been the focus of the NCAA’s interest, didn’t make an appearance

YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING Former Thomasville baseball coach Roger Bryant looks away from the umpires in disgust as he argues a call in the mid-1990s. Bryant no longer coaches baseball but is an assistant coach with the football program.

tvillesports@yahoo.com FINISH From page 7 Dorzweiler has pondered about some of those one-run losses and questioned some of the decisions he may or may not have made. At the same time, he understands it is all part of the game and he must move forward. “You think about things like should I have bunted in this situation or did I leave that pitcher in too long,” he said. “You really start second-guessing yourself, but you still have to remain positive and not put out negative things.” Leading up to the AllStar break this past Monday and Tuesday, the

HiToms have been in a massive rut. After winning four straight, the Tommies have lost 14 of their last 16 games, including a current stretch of eight straight. Dorzweiler hopes the break will give the players a chance to recover and focus on the newest goal set before them. “The All-Star break came at a good time for us because we had 12 or 13 games in a row. We are ready to get back at it,” he said. There has been one player excelling on the team throughout the recent turmoil. Shortstop Alex Yarbrough of the Ole Miss Rebels has been ripping the ball, recently earning Hitter of the Week honors. He is currently batting .305 with

11 doubles and 14 RBIs. “He has played so well as of late,” said Dorzweiler. “He is seeing the ball well and absolutely hitting it. I was kind of discouraged a little bit because he did show up late and was not eligible on the All-Star ballot. With the numbers he has put up, he definitely deserved to be an All-Star for sure.” Cass Hargis has also

SPORTS

Achieving pure perfection on the course METRO Golf enthusiasts know that all it can take is one missed stroke to lose a game. While skill on the course is one factor in a great game, the equipment used is another major contributor to performance. It is essential for golf clubs to perform consistently and correctly, which is why many avid players and professionals look to technological advancements in their quest for perfection. Every golf club created is unique to itself. Regardless of material manufacture and output, the shaft cannot be perfectly round, straight or stiff throughout its length. SST PURE Shaft Alignment is a technology that analyzes golf shafts after manufacture and locates the most stable orientation of any golf shaft to minimize off-line bending and twisting. The system places all of the shafts in a set of clubs into the same orientation for a more consistent game. The technology behind the system is simple but revolutionary to the golf game. The shaft is first removed from the head and placed in a computer-driven machine. This machine checks for irregularities in straightness, roundness and stiffness that are inherent to the manufacturing process. Then the shaft is corrected, or PUREd as the company calls it. Independent testing on players of all skill levels has established that SST PURE improves impact repeatability on the center of the clubface by up to 51 percent. Clubs that have been PUREd have a softer feel than randomly installed shafts. This technology is frequently relied upon by PGA tour players, some of whom will not even hit a ball until their clubs have

gone through the analysis. The process can be performed on existing clubs, new clubs or new shafts — steel or graphite — from all major manufacturers. For more information on SST PURE(R) shaft alignment or to locate a licensee near you, call 877-254-4648 or visit www.sstpure.com. Apart from using technology to improve your golf game, here are some other strategies you can employ. • Invest in a good set of golf shoes that will provide the right level of traction and comfort. • Improvements in your golf game will come from plenty of practice on the course and at the driving range. Frequent practice is valuable in lowering your handicap and taking strokes off of your game. • Improved attitude can also go a long way toward a better golf game. Learn from setbacks and don’t get discouraged.

Colorful and Strange

Asian lady beetle

Metallic leaf chafer, a type of scarab

Have you watched lightning bugs sparkling at night or ladybugs on a leaf? You have been watching beetles. Beetles are insects with hardened wing covers and chewing mouth parts. One out of every four species, or types, of living creatures on Earth is a beetle. The Mini Page talked with a beetle expert to learn more about these fascinating insects.

Behold the Beautiful Beetle!

Chewing mouth parts

Billions of beetles

Beetles’ mouths are designed for chewing and biting. They might use their powerful mouths to grab their prey, bite it and chew it up. This is different from many other insects that suck up their food instead. Beetles may also use their strong mouth parts to chew holes in trees, crops and even carpets.

Experts say there are about 400,000 different species of beetles. They are on every continent except Antarctica. The warm, wet tropics are especially rich habitats for beetles. More species live there than anywhere else. However, people are destroying the tropical forests where beetles live so quickly that there are probably hundreds of thousands more species we may never discover. One entire species of beetle can live on one single tree and nowhere else. Or one entire species may live only on the side of one mountain. Since many beetles can live only in one habitat, such as a tree, they can’t survive when they lose their homes.

Wing covers photo by Peggy Greb, courtesy USDA

Beetles’ hardened wing covers protect them like a suit of armor. They help keep them safe from predators, or animals that want to eat them. Wing covers also trap moisture inside beetles’ bodies. This helps keep them from drying out.

Life of a beetle A beetle often lives much longer in its younger stages than in its adult stage. A larva could live for weeks to more than a year. A pupa might also live for many months. Adults live from weeks to months, depending on the kind of beetle and where it lives. The larvae, also known as grubs, usually eat the most. It is at this stage that beetles often cause the most damage to crops and trees. Beetles grow throughout the larval stage. Larvae shed their outside skeletons several times as they get bigger.

Beetles and People

This dung beetle rolls a ball of poop. This is the type of beetle that the ancient Egyptians believed was sacred.

The sacred scarab

Pests and helpers

Ancient Egyptians believed the scarab beetle was sacred. When they saw dung beetles popping out of the GROUND YEARS AGO IT LOOKED AS if the beetles were appearing out of nowhere. The beetle pushing its ball of dung reminded them of their god Ra moving the sun across the sky each day. Egyptians wore scarabs as holy charms. Models of scarabs were used to replace the heart in mummies. Scarabs stand out in the world of beetles. Many have bright metallic colors or giant horns.

Many beetles do a lot of damage. They can destroy forests and crops. Others help people. Some, such as ladybugs, eat other insect pests. Some people even eat beetles! Many different types of beetles feed on and bury dead animals, recycling THEM &OR EXAMPLE ONE KIND MIGHT feed only on rotting flesh. Another might feed on bones. Scientists use beetles to clean the flesh off animal skeletons they want to study.

These huge elephant beetles are a type of scarab.

This Asian longhorned beetle looks like an alien invader, which in a way it is. It was originally from China, but has come to the eastern United States. It makes holes in hardwood trees such as maples. This causes too much sap to flow out, and after a time, the trees die. When a plant or animal comes from somewhere else and hurts the new ecosystem, it is called an invasive species.

FROM PAGE 1 AWARD From page 1

“She had an affection for law enforcement,” said Thomasville Police Chief Jeff Insley. “It was something that she wanted to do. But unfortunately, Meghann succumbed to a medical issue, and she went home to be with the Lord. We do sorely, sorely miss her.” Murphy developed a bad case of the flu at age 12, which progressed into pneumonia and a staph infection. “She picked up a virus that just wiped out her lungs,” Sherril Bumgardner said. Doctors placed the young girl on a waiting list for a double lung transplant. In high school, Murphy’s doctors removed her from the list, saying her condition had stabilized. Her brief inaction on the waiting list prevented Murphy from receiving the needed transplant until June 2009, when she finally underwent surgery and was able to come off of the oxygen tanks she had used since contracting her illness. Despite her difficulties, Murphy staid as upbeat as possible, her mother says. “Before that she was a normal, bouncy little blonde,” Melanie said. “She’d never ask why or question her condition.” But Murphy’s condition did affect her life, no matter how hard she tried to fight it. On homebound instruction throughout high school, the girl had to put more physical effort than most into academics. “It was hard for her to get through college, keeping her grades up,” Melanie said. “Oh, she was a fighter.” But get through Murphy did, graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. After college, Murphy dreamed of attending law school or studying crime scene investigation. With an aunt already serving in law enforcement, Murphy had a keen interest in the field, even spending hours watching CSI with her step-dad.

BENEFITS From page 1 since last June. The new legislation would extend benefits to eligible workers through Nov. 30., but James said nothing is finalized yet. “I’m sure benefits will be extended for a period of time, we just don’t know what it will be,” said James. “The last few times it has been a several month thing. One of the first ones was pretty long, but the extension of the extensions has only been a few months at a time.” Supporters of the legislation claim the extension will inject millions of dollars into the economy amidst the current recession, but opponents feel it will just add to the growing national debt.

“She was worse than I was about watching crime shows,” Sherril said. But just as with continued education, Murphy’s physical condition prevented her from actively pursuing her passion – at least at first. “It was her fondest wish to be in law enforcement, but her health would not allow it,” Melanie said. “She really was interested in doing police work and getting her foot in the front door.” THURSDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

We thought it was just a little illness, but it took her life.” Murphy passed away on May 15, just a few weeks after she began her work in law enforcement. “She had basically a common cold,” Sherril said. “That’s all it was.” But Murphy will never be forgotten. TPD plans to honor her memory by awarding a department volunteer of the year with the Meghann Mur-

phy Volunteer Service Award. “It makes me very proud of my daughter,” Melanie said. “It was great that she got to realize one of her dreams. I walked out of Meghann’s funeral, and there was a whole line of police officers. That was really kind, and we appreciate that.”

Researching ways to pursue her dream, Murphy ran into an old friend from elementary school, Jeff McCrary, on Facebook.
