State sales tax increase looms as deficit climbs
Fairgrove kicks off ‘Fill the Bus’ campaign
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
BY ERIN WILTGEN
With this year’s budget in place for the time being, state legislators and local school systems are focusing their attention on the 2011-12 calendar and what appears to be a nowin situaHolliman tion if the economy doesn’t pick up fast. Early forecasts predict a very dismal financial situation for North Carolina next year, where the state budget is expected to face a $3 billion deficit. This year’s budget already was billions of dollars less than in the past, and if the state’s economy can’t recover from the current recession, 2011-12 could be worse. “The budget this year was a tough budget,” House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman (D-Davidson County) said. “We don’t have the funds to deal with that we used to have. The budget this year was $18 billion when it used to be around $21 billion. A lot of people say next year we’ll have a $3 billion deficit and it may be, we’ll just have to wait and see.” With the unemployment rate either at or above 10 percent in nearly half of North Carolina’s 100 counties, the state has yet to show any clear signs of economic recovery. There are still close to 500,000 people without work, resulting in fewer

Endurance cyclist Chris Boone shares information with children from First Baptist Church in Charlotte about his upcoming statewide bicycle ride to benefit boys and girls living at Baptist Children’s Homes.

ith the drastic effects a slow economy has on non-profit and charity organizations, philanthropic souls all across the country find themselves digging deep into already sparse pockets trying to scrape together some extra coin to donate. But Bakersville, N.C., resident Chris Boone took it a step further. Boone will bike the 564 miles across the state of North Carolina on Sept. 8 and 9, seeking not only to break the record of 40 hours but also to raise money
‘This ride is a testament of will, desire and the incredible lengths one is willing to undertake to make a difference in the lives of children.’ — Dr. Michael Blackwell BCH President and awareness for Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina (BCH). “Chris has been blessed with an incredible talent to ride a bike, and he wants to put that talent to good use,” said Blake Ragsdale, director of communications for BCH Mills Home Campus in Thomasville. “It’s inspiring to see what Chris wants
to do to help the boys and girls that not only live at the Baptist Children’s Home Mills Campus but the children at the 18 communities across North Carolina.” Promoted as RideNC2010, Boone’s trip is organized as part of BCH’s 125th anniversary celebration. He plans to leave the post office in the mountains of Murphy, N.C., at 3 a.m. on Sept. 8 and bike non-stop to Manteo at the Outer Banks, arriving at 3 p.m. on Sept. 9. “Chris’ efforts are an inspiration to every child and every staff member at Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina,” said BCH president Michael C. Blackwell in a press release. “This ride is a testament of will, desire and the incredible lengths one is willing to undertake to make a difference in the lives of children.”
Summer speeds by, and parents have already begun thinking about those back-to-school sales. Fairgrove Family Resource Center will once again offer its Fill The Bus program to help struggling parents make ends meet and get all of the school knick knacks their children need for the coming year. Decorated collection boxes will be placed in participating locations starting Wednesday and will remain there until Aug. 18. “We collect school supplies for the kids that need them to help them start school,” said Terri Nelson, the center’s executive director. “After we get the school supplies, we distribute them to all the area

Easy tools to debt-proof your kids ADVICE
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
Dear Mary: My 13year-old son is beginning to make money by mowing lawns, and my 15-year-old daughter has a job that brings in $1,500 to $2,000 a year. My children actually want guidance on how to set goals and determine how much money to spend on the things they buy! I’m not sure how to guide them. They’ve seen how fast it goes when you’re not careful. Can you give us some ideas on percentages to spend for certain categories or other ideas I haven’t thought of ? — Shelley, e-mail Dear Shelley: I highly suggest you teach them the Debt-Proof Living method of money management (at http://www. DebtProofLiving.com), but you’ll need to learn it first. I recommend that you read my book “DebtProof Living.� I also have written “Debt-Proof Your Kids� for parents like you who want to make sure they give their kids every opportunity to become financially confident before they leave the safety net of home.
The underlying principle is the 10-10-80 formula, which you can teach them tonight: Always give away 10 percent, save 10 percent for the long term and live your life on 80 percent of your net income. You need to teach them about tracking their spending, saving for short-term goals, finding the best value (not necessarily the best price), the difference between secured and unsecured debt, and why they need to avoid unsecured debt. If they get all of that while they are young, you will proudly send two financially confident young people into the real world. Watch your mailbox. I am sending you both of these books with my compliments and the sincere hope that you’ll read them and pass the principles on to your kids. I’m excited for you because I know how well this could turn out! Dear Mary: My husband and I have the opportunity to travel. I have a debit card and credit card but am not taking advantage of a rewards credit card. I’ve heard they can reduce travel costs significantly if used correctly. We have no debt. Even the mortgage is paid (whoo hoo!). I pay my credit card balance before the end of each month. What is the best credit card to use for travel rewards? — Sally, e-mail Dear Sally: Forget the notion that using a rewards card will reduce your travel costs signifi-
cantly. That’s hype. The best-case scenario is you’ll earn a few frequent flier miles or see a small rebate check at some time in the distant future. What you need to be concerned about are foreign exchange fees. MasterCard and Visa both tack on 1 percent for any charge made outside the United States. Most banks add another 2 or 3 percent. That can really add up fast. Here’s a great tip. So far, Capital One waives all foreign exchange fees. That could change, but for now I suggest that you use only a Capital One credit card (not a debit card, please) as you travel, making sure that you pay the balance in full during the grace period. If you will not be traveling abroad but want a card that pays a cash rebate as a reward, there are several that are pretty good. You should avoid any that charge annual fees. Because you’ll be paying the balance in full each month, the interest rate is of little consequence. Go to http:// www.IndexCreditCards. com to get a complete listing of currently available credit cards to see which would work best for you. Happy travels! Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt is the founder of www. DebtProofLiving.com
Byerly graduates Marine Corps basic training TIMES STAFF REPORT
Marine Corps Pfc. David J. Byerly, son of Melissa D. Hailey of Lexington, N. C. and David J. Byerly, Sr of Butler, Tenn., recently graduated from the Marine Corps Basic Combat Engineer Course at Marine Corps
Your Town. Your Times.
Engineer School, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, N. C. During the five-week course, Byerly received instruction in the fundamentals of engineering support for combat units, including the procedures for building and repairing bridges, roads and
field fortifications. Byerly also received training on demolition concepts, land mine warfare and camouflage techniques. Byerly is a 2009 graduate of Central Davidson High School of Lexington, N. C. and joined the Marine Corps in July 2009.
The whole thing began at a vacation Bible school. BCH staff member Lewis Smith spoke at the event at Boone’s Baptist Church in Bakersville, sharing his vision about a statewide ride to raise money for the home. “[Smith] had an idea that all the people who work at the children’s homes were going to come together to do a relay across the state,� Boone said. But Smith had been told a few days prior to the Bible school that the project had to be canceled due to worker’s compensation. “It dampened his spirit,� Boone said. “He said he about cried. Then my wife said, ‘He rides bicycles.’� Smith jumped at the opportunity. Further conversation with Boone revealed that the cyclist held the city-to-city/ point-to-point record for riding the 470-mile Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee, N.C., to Rockfish Gap, Va., in 29 hours and 36 minutes. Though hesitant at first, Boone eventually conceded to the state-wide trek so long as BCH took care of the fundraising — with a goal of $250,000 or more. “Chris felt like it was meant for him to do this,� Ragsdale said. “He had the talent to do it.� Throughout his 20 years as a bike-rider, Boone has surprisingly never really gotten into distance biking. “I don’t really like doing long-distance, but it seems like when you do something everybody thinks is crazy, it sort of gets people’s interest,� Boone said. The biker says he doesn’t exactly relish the early mornings and the long hours training for such a ride demands. “It takes too much time, and you have to live on your bike,� Boone said. “For a cause, I’ll do a long-distance ride. It sparks people’s interest, and when they see that it’s something that you don’t think anybody can do and then they do it, they become a part of it and they donate and the love to talk about it.� And as Boone has become more involved in the project, he, too, has grown more connected. Before the ride, Boone
had little personal involvement with BCH. He attends a Baptist church but says he doesn’t tie himself down with denominations and didn’t feel any attachment to the homes. After he agreed to RideNC2010, however, Boone has met several of BCH’s children, including spending some time backpacking in the mountains with some kids from Cameron Boy’s Camp. “At first, it was just like, well I ride this bike,� Boone said. “Then when you start meeting the kids and having a relationship with them and talking to them, it becomes a tie with the children’s home where I didn’t have one before. That keeps me going because there are some days that I really don’t want to ride.�
The kids themselves have become just as involved. “They’ve really become a part of it,� Boone said. “They want to be there at the end. They want to cheer me on.� While setting a new record remains a personal goal for Boone, his journey from the vacation Bible school through meeting the BCH children and training for his ride has slightly changed his primary mission. “The draw is to try to break this record because it excites everybody,� Boone said. “But I want to help. I want to help these kids who need something in their lives. I’m good at riding a bicycle, and through riding this bicycle I could raise enough money to make it better for someone else.�

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. Edward Jones, its employees and ďŹ nancial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice.

The old scrapbook
UNCLE BILL’S CORNER
BILL HILL Guest Columnist
I have many different hobbies, and one of those hobbies is going to yard sales and flea markets. I like to browse thru things, look and just enjoy and bide my time. On a bright, hot, sunny day a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning, I went to a local flea market just to get out of the house for a little while. I approached a table where I notice what appeared to be an old scrapbook. Wow, it was just that, and old family scrapbook! I looked thru the book and asked, “What’s the price?� “Well, that would be $1, sir.� I pulled a crisp one dollar bill from my wallet, paid the gentleman and thanked him. I felt there was something to be cherished in the scrapbook that felt just right when holding it in my hands. I could hardly wait to get home and open the book and study and look to see what it contained. I got home and went straight to my kitchen breakfast bar. As I opened the scrapbook, you could smell the musk and old smell that old books have. I noted the pages were very worn and very fragile to touch. In this book, I found old photographs, postcards, pressed flowers, old newspaper articles, poems someone had written, baby handprints, handkerchiefs, and old cooking recipes, things written down that looked like a formula for medical treatments and medications that a person could make at home. I was so impressed with the treasure I had found. Everything in the book stood out to me as if I had won a million dollars. I now consider it as one of my treasure’s
that will never be for sell. I want to share with you, the Thomasville Times readers, one of the letters I found. The postmark was Alabama 1888 and it was addressed to Mrs. Sadie May Wilcox, Boone, N.C. This is the exact copy as written and found in the old scrapbook, with spelling errors and all. I hope you truly enjoy it just as I will cherish this the rest of my life. You may want to cut this out and post it somewhere in your home to read when things seem to get rough and you seem to want to throw both hand’s in the air and say to yourself, “I give up! Don’t!� Just remember this letter. Nov. 14, 1888 (sic) Deer Lovin’ granddaughter Sadie Mae. i hope you enjoy being marriried now that John is a nice feller and a hard worker, you treat him right. He must get 3 good mels a day, and you care for him and you cherrrish him and love him and repact him and giv him childrens untl the day you go to the LORD i Like JOHN yes i do hes a finee finee man and very smart two. I have some bad news two tell ya— your grandpappy got sick 3 weeks ago with a bad cold, he had the problems breathing, I fixxedd polassus for him and put them on his chest, and when be had coughing speels I faned him, gave him some root medecene and washed him down with cold water— butt nothing worked, he went to the LORD LAST WEEK.

The Washington Post finds waste — in government! BY MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist Congratulations are due to the Washington Post. “Top Secret America,” its in-depth, multi-part, two-year investigation into the vast network of government security agencies and private contractors is an eye-opener — obvious Pulitzer bait. Reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin have revealed a “hidden world, growing beyond control.” Within this “alternate geography” of the United States, they found some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies at work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States. Over 850,000 Americans have top-secret security clearances. They spend “a gusher of money” that has flowed since 9/11. And — this will blow your socks off — the Post found that there is tremendous waste, duplication, and lack of accountability. Really? In a government program? “Many security and intelligence agencies do the same work, creating redundancy and waste. For example, 51 federal organizations and military commands, operating in 15 U.S. cities, track the flow of money to and from terrorist networks.” Not only that, but they aren’t careful about the way they spend taxpayer dollars. “With so much money to spend, managers do not always worry about whether they are spending it effectively. ‘ Someone says, let’s do another study, and because no one shares information, everyone does their own study,’ said Elena Mastors ... ‘Everybody’s just on a spending spree. We don’t need all these people doing all this stuff.’” The growth of counterterrorism spending since 9/11 has been sharp and dramatic. “With the quick infusion of money,” write Priest and Arkin, “military and intelligence agencies multiplied. Twenty-four organizations were created by the end of 2001, including the Office of Homeland Security and the Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking Task Force. In 2002, 37 more were created to track weapons of mass destruction, collect threat tips and coordinate the new focus on counterterrorism. That was followed the next year by 36 new organizations; and 26 after that; and 31 more; and 32 more; and 20 or more each in 2007, 2008 and 2009.” These analysts and agents produce an estimated 50,000 reports per year -- most of which are never read. So yes, bravo to the Post. Truly. But why do they tend to notice government waste only when it applies to national security? The Post and other liberal organs have been quick to
record how much the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (particularly Iraq) have cost taxpayers. But they seem much less curious about waste, duplication, and even fraud in other areas of government spending. If they need ideas about where else to look, they can consult Martin Gross, author of a series of books about the “government racket” (that’s one of his titles actually). It may interest the Post to learn that there are 70 different programs in 13 different federal agencies addressing the problem of teen drug abuse. There are 160 different job-training programs, 50 homeless assistance programs, 27 programs to avert teen pregnancy, and 90 programs on early childhood development. According to a recent Government Accountability Office report, “at least 12 federal departments and agencies were responsible for hundreds of community development programs that assist distressed urban communities and their residents. Historically, there is but little coordination among the agencies, posing an unnecessary burden on communities seeking assistance.” To say nothing of the taxpayers. Nor do federal departments and agencies even know where all of the money goes. In “National Suicide,” Gross recounts, “In one recent year, the federal government could not account for $24.5 billion it spent. Buried in the Treasury Department’s ‘Unreconciled Transactions Affecting the Change in Net Position,’ is the fact that the enormous sum is unreconciled — that is, it is missing.” This is rich: The GAO also found that “The IRS could not verify $3 billion of its expenses” as the agency “had not kept its own books and records with the same degree of accuracy it expects from taxpayers.” Medicare fraud alone accounts for an estimated $60 billion annually, according to the Wall Street Journal. A Philadelphia cardiologist convicted of defrauding the program to the tune of half a million dollars explained to a Senate committee, “The problem is that nobody is watching. The system is extremely easy to evade. The forms I sent in were absolutely outrageous.” It doesn’t surprise conservatives to find waste, duplication, and gross overspending in the military and in the security agencies of government. We know that this is inevitable in government programs. As Milton Friedman said, “No one washes a rented car.” It’s not at all clear that the Post understands the larger lesson.
Politics: The art of the unbelievable VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist In many places, voters become disenchanted when politicians move directly from high offices to lucrative jobs as lobbyists and consultants. Not in Illinois. Here, we are just happy when a politician doesn’t go directly from high office to prison. Of the most recent eight governors (not including the incumbent), three have been convicted of felonies. That’s a batting average of .375, which is high in any league. And then we have the last governor, who got impeached and is now on trial. It would not have been hard for Rod Blagojevich to raise the ethical standards of his office. His immediate predecessor, George Ryan, is serving a 6 1/2-year term in federal prison for bribery, extortion and other mischief. Yet Blagojevich has managed to disappoint even the most pessimistic voters. His tenure brought to mind comedian Lily Tomlin’s lament: “No matter how cynical you become, it’s never enough to keep up.” All he did was get caught on wiretapped phone calls running his office like a used car lot. Most notable was his effort to trade an appointment to the U.S. Senate for money, campaign contributions or a job — such as secretary of Health and Human Services, which was about as plausible as his winning the Cy Young Award. Yet last week, it came as
a stunner to find we cannot believe everything he says. For months, the state’s most infamous Elvis impersonator had vowed to take the stand at his corruption trial. In June, he told reporters, “I can’t wait to testify, to set the record straight and clarify some of these conversations, and tell the people of Illinois exactly what was on my mind and what I was trying to do and what I ultimately attempted to do.” But after the prosecution rested, he elected to maintain a discreet silence. Given a choice of hanging himself in court or being exposed as a brazen fabricator, well, you know which one Rod would choose. He’s not entirely alone. The events involving that particular Senate seat, which was vacated by Barack Obama in November 2008, have generated an epidemic of mendacity. There was Obama, who the White House said “had no contact or communication with Gov. Blagojevich or members of his staff about the Senate seat.” But it emerged in the trial that Obama had personally called Tom Balanoff, head of the Service Employees International Union, to suggest the appointment of his longtime aide Valerie Jarrett. Balanoff promptly set up a meeting with Blagojevich to pass on the recommendation. There was Roland Burris, the former state comptroller who got himself named to the vacancy. Burris originally said “there was not any contact” between his people and the governor’s people about the appointment. He later amended and reamended that claim — with the crucial revisions coming after the Senate had agreed to let him be sworn in. Much later came the revelation of a wiretapped call between him and the governor’s brother, before Burris was chosen, in which
they discussed ways an appointee might express his gratitude. He promised to send Blagojevich a campaign contribution. The Senate Democratic leadership, including Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, originally declared that “anyone appointed by Gov. Blagojevich cannot be an effective representative of the people of Illinois and, as we have said, will not be seated by the Democratic Caucus.” A few weeks later — I know this will shock you — that promise went poof. Gov. Pat Quinn, the Democrat who succeeded Blagojevich following his impeachment, had supported holding a special election to fill the vacancy. But seeing the possibility that the Democrats might lose, he and the legislature dropped the idea like a hot stove. Last week, though, it was revived by a federal appeals court, which said the Constitution requires a special election. What began as tragedy has degenerated into farce: On Nov. 2, 2010, Illinoisans may get to choose someone to finish a term that will end in January 2011, at the same time they choose someone to occupy the office until January 2017. Right now, the race includes Republican Mark Kirk, who has made a name with tall tales about his Navy career and his teaching experience, and Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, who claimed to have been a major force at his family’s bank but now blames others for its failure.

FROM PAGE A1 BUS From page A1 schools so they can give them out to the kids to have the right kind of learning materials when they start school.” Though Fill The Bus used to involve literally piling school supplies on a bus, Nelson says the center has expanded the program in its nearly eight years of running to include locations across the county. The center encourages parents to pick up a few extra items while shopping for their own children’s school supplies, especially on North Carolina’s tax-free weekend from Aug. 6-8. Once the items are collected, Nelson says she divides everything up between the 17 Davidson County and Thomasville City schools, giving them to school social workers and guidance counselors to hand out to children with the greatest need. Though Nelson says she doesn’t have a clear number goal in mind, she aims her sights high. “We want to have enough supplies so that all the children that need them have the adequate materials to start school,” she said. “A lot of things that the middle school and high school kids need we don’t usually get. We have an
TAX From page A1 money coming into the state through tax collections, a lifeline for any governmental agency. Holliman said a one percent tax increase could generate as much as $1 billion in state revenue, but with money from the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act set to dry up, North Carolina is back to Square One. While a recent drop in the state unemployment rate is encouraging, Holliman would like to see it come down much further. “If we take off the one percent sales tax, that’s $1 billion,” said Holliman. “If the economy doesn’t improve, there’s no offset there. We taking it a year at a time. It is an extremely tough time. The recovery money is a little less than $1 billion. We’d like to get [the unemployment rate] down to around 7 or 8 percent, but it’s a slower than we like. I hope we get back there soon. I think we’ll see a steady improvement.” Losing key stimulus funding will deal a harsh blow to Thomasville City Schools, where staff has been using the money to balance its depleting budget. TCS Superinten-
overabundance of some things and not enough of one thing.” For example, the center often collects a lot of crayons, but comes up short on book bags, three ring binders, glue sticks and highlighters. And while these supplies may seem insignificant and almost petty, Nelson says that children who walk into a classroom on the first day of school without the same things that everyone else has often start the year with low morale. “Everybody needs the same set of school supplies so they can learn and retain what they need to retain,” Nelson said. “And not everybody has the economic means to buy their kids the same supplies for schools. We want to help those parents so they can get their kids off on the right foot.” And the impact has been tremendous. Nelson says that parents have already approached her asking when the supplies will be available. “It’s a grave concern for a lot of parents because they want their children to succeed academically,” Nelson said. “We’re just asking parents to pick up extra items. There are so many places — drug stores, K-Mart, Office Depot, all of those places run major sales. We’re just asking them to get extra so that all the kids have the opportunity to learn.”
dent Keith Tobin fears that without the stimulus money, saving jobs will become that much harder. Tobin said TCS has been setting money aside in preparation for next year’s budget, but the outlook is gloomy at best, even if the state economy rebounds. “Next year, when the federal money goes away, that’s the big hit,” Tobin said. “That’s what we’re facing next year and everybody’s fear is across the state. I tend to doubt they’ll be able to come up with more money. If the economy turns around, there will be more money, but a lot of people are vying for that money right now, and it’s not just K12. It will have to turn around quite a bit. We’ve been trying to carry over a little money just to make sure we have some there because we’re going to need some.” Davidson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Fred Mock said school systems are using stimulus money to pay for custodial and secretarial services, and once those funds are gone, tough decisions will have to be made. Mock said he is worried North Carolina may be left out of receiving part of the $500 billion for Medicaid relief, which may result in DCS
SPACE From page A1 will spend five days in both the spring and fall doing experiments using various forms of science, space, math and physics. The summer part of the program wrapped up Thursday at THS with students learning how to make a small robot perform different tasks. Students program the robot to follow certain lines using a low-grade light sensor. “It’s fun,” said Cameron Harris, a soon-to-be THS freshman. “Sometimes it’s challenging but I like the challenge. You have a program called motor mindstorm and you have to do it step-by-step. It’s a little hard.” Clodfelter said students are adapting to the program well, but have run into some difficulty with getting the robot to do exactly what they want. It’s this hands-on experience, Clodfelter said, that teaches the kids the inner-workings of modern technology. “Their frustration, which is heavy at the moment, is all based on the fact that programming is a step-by-step process,” Clodfelter said. “That’s the source of their lack of understanding. They don’t see it from that perspective.
having to make more cuts to its budget at the end of the year. “They have told us we may see additional cuts after Christmas,” said Mock. “I am concerned about what those cuts will be. I am worried about next year’s budget and how we’re going to replace the stimulus dollars that have helped us balance the budget the last two years. The state is going to be $3 billion short when that stimulus money dries up. Out of a $19 billion budget, that’s a big chunk of money.” The bottom line is that the state is still mired in the national recession, and without significant signs of recovery, the money simply won’t be there. “The great gamble was the recession was going to last 24 months or so and we would pull out and the tax revenues would come back,” said Mock. “The indications we’re getting is that recession is not on a fast recovery and the tax revenues will not be fully replenished by next fall.” Only time will tell if the economy is on the road to recovery. If and when it does will be the center of attention for leaders and lawmakers for the foreseeable future.
In some ways they expect that when you program it do something it should do it. Sometimes it doesn’t always work that way. “This is really just the tip of the iceberg as to what will be available to the students. It’s quite extensive and will carry on through their junior year.” Over the next two years, students will participate in competitions with other schools from across the state, and will venture out into more complex subjects and materials. Staff at THS also will teach students the importance of good English and math skills, and the career and college opportunities that await them once high school is over. “We all played a part in this, even though robotics was the main center of the activity,” said Alvin Rubin, a THS science teacher. “We kind of snuck school into it without them realizing. Once they got confidence in what they were doing, they really took off. They were very into it from the beginning.” There currently are 14 students at THS involved in the program, but Clodfelter said more could be added in the near future. Participants were selected for the program through teacher recommendations and their willingness to learn and enthusiasm towards the world of science and math.

Listening for God’s voice in your life FAITH
DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist
My wife and I escaped to the beach for a few days last week. The drive down was not very pleasant as we endured rain the whole way to the beach. It was hard to be upset that it was raining after all this hot, dry weather we have been experiencing. I guess it was a little selfish, but we wanted warm, sunny weather while we were at the beach. We did get
some additional rain while we were at the beach, but not enough to disturb us. It is nice to escape the daily grind and the pressures of being home while at the beach. The sun and the cool ocean breeze felt great. We didn’t find many shells this year, but I guess we have plenty of them from other years. It’s just fun and relaxing to search for the beautiful shells as we walk along the beach. It’s such a peaceful activity to enjoy together. Because of the lack of shells, we got a lot of walking in on the beach. Going to the beach is a good way to relax. I have a hard time relaxing because I seem to have this need to be doing something all the time. At the beach I am able to subdue that need and quietly relax. I enjoy sitting quietly
on the balcony listening the sound of the waves and watching the ocean both in the morning and late at night. My wife and I also enjoy reading at the beach. We will both spend hours reading our books. There is nothing like escaping into the imaginary world created by a good author. Reading is a quiet activity, something that is difficult for me because I am such a slow reader, but also something I really enjoy when I have the time. I love getting lost in a really good book and hate for that experience to come to an end. The beach has always been a place where I can quiet my thoughts and really listen for God. At home there are so many things to distract me that it can be hard to listen for the Lord. At the beach, while there are some distractions, I am

able to quiet my mind and hear God speak to me. It seems every year I go to the beach seeking answers and I can assure you that I always come home with His wisdom. Many people believe that God doesn’t talk with us today. Nothing could be further from the truth. God wants to talk with each one of us, but we often miss those intimate times with Him. If God wants something you would think He could have it, but He allows us to exercise our free choice. We can choose to spend time with and listen to God or we can ignore Him. The problem is that many of us don’t know how to listen. God speaks to us in many ways. The first place to begin is by reading the Bible. Many solutions to life’s problems are hidden in those words. Another thing to
do is to find a quiet place that is free of distractions. In that place, pray and tell God what you need help with and then be quiet. This is not a time to figure things out. Listen. God will begin to give you ideas that you know are not your own, thoughts that you have never considered. When you feel like you have discovered God’s guidance, there are two important things you need to do. First, you need to weigh the solutions you received against the Bible. God will not tell you something that is against the scriptures. Second, take what you have received to some older, wiser friends. If God has spoken to you, He will confirm it through some godly friends. That will also help to build your confidence as you endeavor to listen for
God’s voice in your life. I want to encourage you to find the time to relax and to listen. The Bible teaches us of the importance of resting. Our bodies can’t go 24/7; God designed them to need some rest and relaxation. It’s during those quiet, restful times that we can hear God speak to us. God’s wisdom is available if we will listen quietly. I believe God wants us to seek Him. If we are willing to rest, listen, and seek Him with our whole heart, we will find something far greater than we can imagine. His peace, presence and love will envelope and change our lives.

The insanity of redundancy MINISTER’S CORNER
DR. GEORGE JACKSON Guest Columnist “What shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?” (Romans 6:1 NIV). As the Apostle Paul developed his magnificent treatise on grace and salvation in his letter to the Roman Church, he raised more than 70 rhetorical questions. In the sixth chapter we can hear the somewhat typical sarcasm of first century Jewish intellect. The former Pharisee implied that we should not continue to practice destructive behavior based on the preeminence of God’s abundant grace and mercy. That would be dangerous, reckless, and senseless. Some might call it insane. When I watch the network news coverage of the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, I’m overwhelmed by the magnitude of what has become the largest oil spill in history and possibly the
worst man-made disaster since the Exxon Valdez spilled as much as 32 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound, off the coast of Alaska in 1989. It seems as if every decade or so we have one of these major catastrophes that devastate our ecosystem and threatens already endangered wildlife to the brink of extinction. It would make sense to explore and invest in new deposits of clean, less toxic energy sources to satisfy our insatiable need for fuel. But when it comes to oil and the supply and demand for it, logic is often tossed out the window. The Deepwater Horizon offshore oil disaster should have been a wakeup call to our nation. It should have signaled the beginning of the end of offshore drilling. Instead it has ignited big oil companies to launch media campaigns promoting increased offshore drilling in deep water. The Obama administration issued a moratorium on drilling only to have it rejected by a lower court decision in New Orleans, rendered by three judges with previous ties to the oil and gas industry. In their opinions, an eminent threat to the environment was outweighed by the potential loss of revenue to the oil companies who threatened to slash

jobs if the six month moratorium stood. So we keep drilling even though we know the potential danger. We must be insane. That’s how the 20th century genius Albert Einstein described it. He described insanity as, “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” I guess that would qualify most of us for a straitjacket, continuing in toxic relationships or depreciatory addictions in hopes that “maybe one day she will change, maybe one day he will kick the habit”… by attrition. The oil companies continued to drill on over 3,000 platforms and 33 exploratory wells while an estimated 180 million gallons of crude gushed into the Gulf of Mexico since April 20, 2010. BP could not stop the flow of oil because the technology at their access was inadequate at depths greater than 300 feet below sea level. When you know something is wrong and you know it’s potentially harmful, continuing in that endeavor is an abuse of God’s abundant grace. His grace is certainly sufficient, but should not ever be taken for granted by blatant arrogance. Guest Columnist Dr. George B. Jackson is pastor of Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship in Thomasville.

Leonard to coach LHS hoops BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor
CALENDAR TODAY CPL
HiToms @ Gastonia 7:05 p.m.
When Ledford boys basketball coach Scott Dalton took an administrative position with Central Davidson earlier this week, LHS Athletic Director Donald Palmer did not need a stack of resumes to thumb through. The guy he wanted has been roaming the sidelines of the junior var-
sity program the past five seasons. In what has become a coaching and administrative carousel between the Panthers and Spartans, Jonathan Leonard — a 1993 graduate of Central Davidson —has accepted the head coaching job. “I am so excited,” said Leonard Friday in a phone interview from a New York hotel. “I never thought it would hap-
pen to tell you the truth. I thought the world of Scott as a coach and I did
not think he would leave. Whenever he did decide to take the job, coach
Palmer asked me what I thought about it and if I would be interested. I jumped on the opportunity.” Palmer knew that Dalton was pursuing an administrative position, but did not think it would happen so soon. When Dalton passed down the final word he had accepted the position at CDHS, Palmer did not mull over the situation long and
thought Leonard was the obvious choice. “We expected it possibly in the near future but not necessarily this summer,” Palmer said of Dalton’s departure. “We didn’t know anything until Tuesday, so myself and Bill Butts (LHS principal) talked it over about what we wanted to do. The best thing we decided to do

Bobby Dale has a heart for racing. He also has the genes for it. Bobby, who is 22 years old, lives in Rockingham, in the shadow of a speedway that once hosted NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends, and where large crowds still show up for ARCA and street stock races and driving schools. Like so many other aspiring race car drivers, he spends his days working at a “normal” job — he is a cook at the local KFC — and his weekends at the track. The name at the top of his Facebook page simply says Bobby Dale, but there is more to this young man than initially meets the eye. Take one look at his photo and you’ll see it for yourself; the family resemblance is unmistakable. You realize that Bobby’s surname is missing from Facebook. Bobby is an Earnhardt. The oldest son of Kerry, and Dale Earnhardt’s first grandchild, Bobby Dale Earnhardt grew up between Mooresville and Kannapolis, deep in the heart of racing country. From fifth through eighth grade he, along with his brother and step-sister, were homeschooled, and the family hit the road with dad while he competed in the NASCAR Busch (now Nationwide) Series. Bobby raced go-karts for a while, and did pretty well, although he says he didn’t exactly burn up the track. All in all, it

Davis talks about investigation BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — After first-year East Carolina football coach Ruffin McNeill finished discussing the hectic summer his team has faced so far, the floor was given to North Carolina’s Butch Davis at the Eighth Bill Dooley Triangle/East Chapter Pigskin Preview on Thursday. And the Tar Heels’ coach used the opportunity to make his first comments about an NCAA investigation that came to light last week. “Think Ruffin would like to trade whirlwinds?” Davis quipped to laughter. It was the first public acknowledgement from a UNC representative that the NCAA is investigating
players in the football program, but Davis said he couldn’t go into details. “The NCAA has told us not to make any comments until this review is over with,” Davis said. “The only things that I can say is … that the NCAA did come on campus. They are going through a review, as everybody can attest to the fact it’s spreading significantly to different other institutions around the country, and that they are going to try to work as fast and as quickly as possible to try to come to some kind of resolution.” The NCAA’s interest reportedly is focused on improper contact between players and agents, with players at South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and

HiToms split pair of games against Asheboro, Gastonia TIMES STAFF REPORT The HiToms went in the right direction Wednesday evening towards reaching their goal of 20 wins, traveling to Asheboro and racking up a 10-5 win over the rival Copperheads. The Tommies built up a 7-0 lead after three innings and never looked back recording 13 hits in the contest. Cass Hargis, Zak Wasserman, Kyle Grieshaber, Chris Fritts and David Roney each had two hits for the game. Grieshaber and Roney had success driving men in collecting three and four RBIs, respectively. Nate Striz finally broke through for his first win of the season lasting five
DAVIS From page B1 Georgia also are being questioned. Davis said the investigation came “out of left field” but his players have been “unbelievable cooperative,” and they are just trying to get through the process as quickly as possible. Davis said he doesn’t know when the investigation will conclude but has been told it is a priority. “I don’t think anybody expected any of this stuff was going to potentially happen,” Davis said. “But it is what it is.” Davis wouldn’t answer a question specifically about Marvin Austin or Greg Little — the two players at the focus of the investigation — but said he is completely confident in his staff for doing things ethically, and they have tried to educate the players about agents. “It’s no different than being a parent,” Davis said. “You can teach your children, you can talk to them and lessons that aren’t learned, you continue to teach those lessons. “We’ve got good kids at North Carolina. We’ve got really good kids, and we’ve got good parents ... and we’re going to continue to work hard to do everything right.” Davis didn’t have
innings. Jordan Rittiner racked up his second save pitching three innings of relief. On Thursday, the brief momentum the HiToms had built came to a halt as Gastonia dealt them a 6-3 loss. This time the Tommies were limited to seven hits as the Grizzlies rallied back from an early 3-0 hole. Hargis and Tyler Frederick each collected two hits with Wasserman, Grieshaber and Fritts getting RBIs. Jordan Jankowski was saddled with the loss lasting just 3 1/3 innings giving up six runs. The HiToms are now 13-32 for the year. Thomasville travels to Gastonia again today.
much to say about the investigation launched Wednesday by the N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, who has said her office will focus on the actions of the agents. Marshall told the Associated Press that she has assigned three investigators who will talk to student-athletes about their involvement, though her office cannot punish them. “We are focusing on athlete agents and anybody who gave these young people things of value — such as trips or parties or food, women, whatever it might be,” Marshall said to the AP. Davis did seem confident, however, that the NCAA investigation — along with the arrest of Quan Sturdivant and misdemeanor charges against Jared McAdoo this summer — won’t affect the teams momentum, and said the players are excited for the start of training camp on Aug. 6 “I think that we’ve had some issues that we’ll deal with internally,” Davis said. “I think the majority of our football program, I think that they’re doing absolutely everything that we would like for them to do. And when kids make mistakes, that’s why they call you a coach and a teacher — it gives you an opportunity to try and help them learn from their mistakes and try to change.”

Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs and the full moon OFF THE PORCH
DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist There’s no better sound than the sound of insects at dusk interspersed with some frogs singing. Maybe the reason I like that sound so much is the things I was doing as a boy when I first noticed the strength and musical nature of the songs of crickets and cicadas, playing rhythm while a half dozen healthy frogs belt out the melody. Daddy and I used to get in the old white Rambler wagon after supper in summer and take the short ride over to Mister Ed’s pond. Mister Ed was Ed Wellborn, a patriarch of the Ledford area, and he had a farm pond a couple of hundred yards off Rich Fork Creek that was largemouth bass heaven and the crickets and frogs had a natural amphitheater. There were openings in the button bushes that skirted Mister Ed’s pond and we took advantage of those openings to toss Daddy’s favorite lure, a Wampus Kat, and my favorite lure, an Arbogast Hula Popper into
that still, dark water. I could understand Daddy’s affinity for the Wampus Kat. It was a tiny spoon with a small bucktail hook trailer if I remember right. If you had all the bass Daddy caught on a Wampus Kat, you probably couldn’t put them all in the spacious cargo area of that Rambler. Daddy would toss the lure out at an angle that let him work the edges of the button bushes and he caught more bass than me. But I had more fun. In fact, my favorite fishing technique often made him laugh out loud. I was a Hula Popper man. I lacked Daddy’s finesse with the Wampus Kat so I chose something that would attract a bass beyond the protection of the bushes. In retrospect, the Hula Popper kind of suits my personality. It’s loud and it demands attention. It weighed enough that my Zebco 606 outfit could cast it with ease and I was quite accurate. When a bass went for the Hula Popper, there was no doubt of his intentions. There was no finesse. It was a brawl. There was generally a loud gulp or splash and I had a fish. Sometimes the fish would attempt to take the Hula Popper from the front and, in those cases, he would normally knock it out of the water without being hooked but mostly, I had a fish for every strike. The topwater is the most visually exciting of all plug fishing. Strikes
are normally magnificent with fish splashing, gulping, and tail slapping when they attack on the surface. Certain fish have a certain amount of trouble hooking up, but I consider that to be part of the show and I don’t mind the missed strikes because I know I, at the very least, enticed the fish to go for it. This week I saw an old friend whom I hadn’t seen in a while. When Dwayne Hill walked up, the first thing he said was, “Ever since I read that story you wrote about catching the 12 pound striper on a topwater, I’ve been thinking about it.” Dwayne and I stood for a few minutes reminiscing about great topwater bites and fish we caught on a topwater. He told me about how when he was a kid, he and another young angler had fished every farm pond they could get to with black Arbogast Jitterbugs. They would use the black lures on moonlit nights and wore the bass out. “We couldn’t always see’em hit, but since the line’s always tight on a Jitterbug, we could feel ‘em as soon as they were on. The bass couldn’t resist’em.” As he told the story, I knew he was visualizing those fish striking the surface of that calm, moon dappled water on those summer nights decades ago. I guess there’s just something about topwaters that makes the fishing memorable. A few years ago, I was on the
Point at Hatteras. There was a small bluefish blitz in full song. The fish were only a couple of pounds but every cast would produce a fish. I started with a treble hooked Stingsilver and switched to a single hooked Stingsilver with the barb mashed down after the first few dozen fish. I caught so many, I just had to stop and rest awhile. While I was resting, I thought about the striper plugs in my tackle box; I had a five inch Atom Popper I’d carried for years after experiencing a striper blitz and I’d never had it in the water. Knowing the blues would attack from all angles, I crimped on a section of Sevenstrand wire and heaved it into the maelstrom. The Atom Popper had really big hooks and the blues had a hard time getting hooked, but it looked like the lure was being subjected to machine gun fire. The blues were snapping and tearing at it and after a dozen or so strikes, one would get himself hooked. The other fishermen around me all had fish on, but they were laughing and yelling about the action on my popper. Within a few minutes, everyone with a topwater in the truck was doing the topwater thing. I still have that scarred up Atom somewhere, I retired it from the tackle box in honor of the fun I got out of it that day.

Coaches talk football at annual Pigskin Preview BY JOE JOHNSON Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — The four college football coaches in the Triangle plus firstyear East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill were the featured speakers again at the eighth annual Pigskin Preview at Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club on Thursday. Duke’s David Cutfliffe provided the most zingers during the luncheon, as he talked about getting his first Sam’s Club card to buy diapers and formula for his squad. “This is the youngest team I’ve ever been around,” Cutcliffe said of his roster, which includes 54 freshmen and sophomores. He also said the Blue Devils are speedier than they’ve been before, too. “We’re faster, but I don’t know where they’re going,” Cutcliffe said. North Carolina coach Butch Davis acknowledged the ongoing NCAA investigation his squad, but he still was able to bring a little humor about other topics brought up by emcee Don Shea. N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien was wry with his humor and even bantered with Davis about the Tar Heels’ starting quarterback situation. After Shea asked whether UNC senior quarterback T.J. Yates was the incumbent, Davis provided answered simply “Yes.” O’Brien quickly piped in and asked Davis if there were any other announcements about the Tar Heels’ signal callers, regarding the competition between Yates and red-shirt freshman Bryn Renner. N.C. Central coach Mose Rison, who is about to start his fourth season as Eagles’ head coach, expressed confidence about the prospects for his squad. NCCU opens on Sept. 2 in the school’s first Thursday night football game at home. The Eagles also will be com-
peting in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference starting with football. “I have to be care with the excitement,” Rison said. “Instead of being roaming nomads, we’re going to play seven home games in Durham. I knew, at some point, we were going to get into a conference.” McNeill said he was excited to be back in North Carolina after serving as an assistant at Texas Tech. He takes over for Skip Holtz, who left for South Florida after the 2009 season. McNeill, a Lumberton native, played for the Pirates in the 1970s and now is undertaking his first head coaching duties. “I’m looking forward to the season,” McNeill said. “I’m glad to be back in North Carolina. It’s been a whirlwind. “We’ve got a bunch of guys who see the glass half full. We’re just excited. The Great Durham Chamber of Commerce sponsored the luncheon, where the group formally was renamed the Bill Dooley Triangle/East Chapter of the National Football Foundation. The event, which was attended by close to 400, also served as a fund raiser for the chapter, which provides more than 20 annual scholarships to football players of the schools. Helmets autographed by the head coaches were auctioned during the program, raising $9,600 toward the scholarships. The N.C. Central helmet went first for $500. New N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow made a pledge of $1,500 to buy the O’Brien signed helmet. Duke had what seemed to be hometurf advantage, and the Blue Devils helmet went for $3,000. But ECU, with its newcomer status, had the biggest haul of the day at $3,100. The UNC helmet, after some slow bidding, finally sold for $1,500.

SPORTS EARN From page B1 was a normal childhood, in racing family terms. Bobby isn’t a guy who is prone to a lot of chitchat — a familiar Earnhardt trait — but equally typical of the family is that animated sparkle in his voice when the talk turns to racing. He says racing has been on his mind all his life — how could it not be? — but his real involvement started when his younger brother Jeffrey began traveling up to Virginia to compete on the dirt tracks. Bobby was right there, behind the scenes and under the hood, helping with the car. When Jeffrey — who has raced in the Nationwide Series and most recently finished 30th in the CampingWorld 200. com NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway on July 17 — moved up to the Late Model Series, big brother Bobby decided it was time to get behind the wheel. He raced at the New River Valley Speedway (now Motor Mile Speedway) in Radford, Va., in the UCAR Series. UCAR is best known as a starting platform for drivers looking to jump from gokarts into full-sized cars, or for people who have never raced to get their start. Bobby describes it as “old school, run-whatyou-brought” racing. These days, he races the No. 3 lawn mower at the Ellerbe Lions Club track, one-tenth of a mile of banked dirt in Ellerbe. Yes, you did read ‘lawn mower’ correctly, but set the notion of 15 or 20 John Deeres tooling around the yard aside; these mowers are souped up and ready to race. Bobby’s has been cut and lowered. His team — Forever 3 Racing, owned by Earl Chapel — built its own spindles and has basically created something he describes as similar to a go-kart inside a mower body. These lawn mower engines can run at speeds of about 80 mph. Bobby’s description of lawn mower competition sounds eerily familiar to anyone who has ever talked with a race car driver. “You have to get the feel of the track. You have to judge how deep you drive into the corners, know when to get in and when not to,” he says. “A lot of times, you have to know how to drive by the seat of your pants.” Bobby spent a number of years working for his uncle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., first on his farm and then in the shop, where he was a tire specialist, a mechanic and the catch can guy on the Hooters Pro Cup car Dale Jr. owned. He doesn’t try to hide the fact that he is an Earnhardt; far from it. The name is his family legacy, and he is proud of it. So the obvious question must be asked: Why wouldn’t you just go and ask your uncle, who owns teams on several levels of racing and is the most popular driver in NASCAR, to help you out? For starters, he feels it isn’t fair play. “Say I walk into a shop with another guy, who has a different last name. Most people are going to talk to me first. I hate
to say it, but it does give me some opportunities,” he says. “I want to work my way up, just like everybody else. I want to prove you can do it without having people hand everything to you, by actually working for it.” Bobby says that’s the way his grandfather went about the business of racing in the early days of his career. “He worked his way up, from working on his dad’s car when he was a kid, to working on his own car when he raced on the dirt tracks. From what I’ve heard, he didn’t just come out of the gate being great, being the best. He had to work hard, and build that name up.” A tinkerer by nature, Bobby is the guy friends and family members call when they’re having trouble with their computers, scanners and other electronic gadgetry. He likes working under the hood of a car and getting his hands dirty, helping to set up the car for competition. He wants the opportunity to do that on a car with his name on it. That is his goal. “I’m trying to find the right people, the right team; I want to do it on my own talent,” he says. “I want people to come out and see me race and say, ‘He’s good; we want to talk to him.’ “I want to earn it.” People do come out to watch him race. The lawn mower races, which will resume in August after the track is re-graded, draw big crowds, and fans often track Bobby down at KFC, asking for his autograph. The desire is there, and the work ethic, and the lineage. But what about the talent? Does Bobby Dale Earnhardt have what it takes to be a successful race car driver? “I honestly think if I had a chance to run, and got with the right team, I’d be good,” he

SPORTS MOON From page B2 The memory is the thing that makes outdoor experiences fun and catching fish when you can see them attack is memorable. Thinking back to that great trip erases the four bad trips that preceded it. Those movies we play in our minds are what keep us coming back for more. Now, I’m thinking about Dwayne’s Jitterbug story. I wonder how long till the next full moon comes around? Wampus cats are long gone but you can still get a Jitterbug or Hula Popper at www. arbogastlures.com.

HOOPS From page B1 was hire Jonathan. He has done a great job for us in the JV program and we figured that he was the logical choice.” After graduating high school, Leonard served in the Navy for four years and then worked as an electrician after that. There was something missing, though, so Leonard decided to tackle his dream of becoming a physical education teacher. He enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where he obtained his degree. When a spot became available at Ledford, he took it. His junior varsity basketball teams have been successful despite losing many of his top players to the varsity program. He’s had a great mentor in Dalton, who always found a way to put good teams on the floor despite not having the most talented kids. Leonard plans on keeping the style of play the way Dalton preferred it, and believes the team next season will be just as competitive as teams in the past. “We have a good group coming back and I know we are going to be competitive and work hard,” Leonard said. “We aren’t going to be the tallest or the most talented, but I guarantee they will go out there with some heart and are going to play hard. We have some great kids, and I am honored and excited to be the coach.” Sports Editor Zach Kepley can be reached at 888-3631.

Davidson County Republican Party donates funds to Brown campaign TIMES STAFF REPORT
The Davidson County Republican Party made a $2,000 donation to Rayne Brown (R), candidate for NC House district 81 at it’s monthly meeting on July 1, 2010 in Lexington. Rayne Brown, who is opposing NC House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, accepted the check while meeting with Davidson County Republican Party officers and approximately 100 party faithful during the party’s July monthly meeting at Tricia’s Catering in Lexington. The Davidson County Republican Party has targeted NC House District 81 as a major priority in the 2010 election
cycle. Rayne Brown’s determined grass roots effort has attracted hundreds of new supporters. While presenting the check to Rayne Brown, party chairman Lance Barrett stated “Rayne Brown is who Davidson County working families need in Raleigh. Davidson County citizens are sick and tired of over taxation and bloated yearly budgets from the hand of Hugh Holliman, the house majority leader”. The Davidson County Republican Party has been agressive in supporting candidates in the 2010 election cycle. Earlier this year, the party presented Sen. Richard Burr with a $2,500 contribution.

Durham VA researcher to study Gulf War Illness TIMES STAFF REPORT
A Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center Researcher has received a significant award to study therapies for treating Gulf War veterans. Ashok K. Shetty, Ph.D., of the Durham, N.C., VA Medical Center, will conduct a four-year study on an animal model of Gulf War illnesses to assess the effectiveness of therapies to enhance mood and memory. The therapies are designed to increase generation of nerve cells in the hippocampus, improving cognitive function and reversing depressive and anxiety-like behaviors. One strategy will test treatment with anti-depressant medicine and a drug or dietary supplement having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The second strategy will test use of either an antidepressant or an antioxidant/ anti-inflammatory agent, combined with exercise. The grant is part of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) decision to use $2.8 million in funding three new research projects focusing on treatments for illnesses affecting Veterans who served in the Gulf War 1990-1991. The research incorporates recommendations of the department’s Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses Task Force. “Reaching out to Gulf War Veterans is essential to the transformation of
VA,” said Veterans Affairs Chief of Staff John R. Gingrich. “This research is a great opportunity to do something that will improve the care and services these Veterans have earned.” About 697,000 men and women served in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm from August 1990 to June 1991 during the Gulf War. In the years since, nearly a quarter of these Veterans have experienced chronic symptoms including fatigue, weakness, gastrointestinal problems, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disturbances, persistent headaches, skin rashes, respiratory conditions and mood changes. The symptoms are known collectively as “Gulf War Veterans’ illnesses.” A recent report by the Institute of Medicine’s Committee on Gulf War and Health, “Health Effects of Serving in the Gulf War,” noted that chronic multisymptom illnesses affect an estimated 250,000 Gulf War Veterans. Given the findings, VA is embarking on a national Gulf War Veterans’ illness research program to identify and adopt the most effective treatments for Veterans. The IOM report noted that the illnesses seen in Gulf War Veterans cannot be ascribed to any psychiatric disorder and likely result from genetic and environmental factors, although the data are not strong enough to draw conclusions about specific causes.
