Caterpillar could spur local jobs BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Three companies in Davidson County and the surrounding area have made steps to expand their business, including Caterpillar, which will create a few hundred jobs and could bring first-tier suppliers to invest in the county. Caterpillar, a manufacturer of parts for large mining machines, will begin construction on its roughly 700,000 square-foot Forsyth County plant in November. The company will invest about $420 million and will hire approximately 390 full-time employees in five years with an average wage of $40,482 a year plus benefits.
Caterpillar also will hire about 110 parttime employees. And though the plant itself isn’t located in Davidson County, Steve Googe, director of the county’s Economic Development Commission, says the expansion could help residents. “We have a manufacturing background, and our citizens are very well-trained in manufacturing,” he said. “We would assume that a lot of those folks would journey to Union Cross to apply for the jobs and hopefully would get some of those jobs. It’s kind of a central location, so you’d see a lot of people commuting to that area for work.” The Caterpillar plant will be located next to the Dell facility at Union Cross Business
Park in Winston-Salem. While construction will begin in the fall, the company won’t begin operation until 2013. But Caterpillar’s contribution to the area doesn’t end with job creation. The large business’ investment here has spurred conversations with several of its suppliers. Googe says most of the companies have contacted Davidson County EDC, looking at existing buildings or sites to build on. One company the county has been talking to for a while recently revealed that it is, in fact, a Caterpillar supplier. “Normally, we have a concentrated effort when a large facility like Dell or Caterpil-

Backpack program encourages reading BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Thomasville City Schools are hoping simple math equates to better reading this upcoming school year. Ceretha Mitchell, TCS’ executive director of curriculum and instruction, unveiled a new backpack initiative Tuesday night at the monthly Board of Education meeting that is designed to get younger students reading more on weekends. “This is a new weekend backpack reading program,” Mitchell said. “It’s interactive with the parents, and a lot of school systems are doing programs like this. We’re really focused on getting the books into homes. This is a sure way to do that.” First, second and third grade students at Thomasville Primary School will receive a backpack filled with five books every Friday for weekend

Watt visits Chair City company BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Rep. Mel Watt sat behind a sewing machine Wednesday morning at Carolina Safety Sport (CSS) and listened to Sherry Dawkins’ instructions very carefully before threading his first bright yellow vest. After spending a few minutes under Dawkins’ watchful eye, Watt concluded a brief sewing career and spent the rest of his time touring CSS’ facility on Sunrise Center Drive, listening to owners Philip Young and Tammy Joyce express their concerns about the future of the country’s economy and the struggles they and other small business owners are facing during the current national recession. “I’m extremely impressed by this whole operation,” Watt said. “They employ local people and are preserving an industry that has been vital to
this community for years. I want to understand more of the diversity in the district I represent. ” Watt stopped in Thomasville Wednesday as part of his “Trading Places” tour, where the democrat visits various businesses throughout his 12th district, including stops in parts of Davidson, Forsyth, Rowan and Mecklenburg county. During his stay at CSS, Watt heard concerns ranging from unemployment benefits to health care, and the effect each has on small business owners who are trying to stay afloat. “Identifying some of their challenges and talking about them, from health care to property protection, is what this is all about,” said Watt. “For me, understanding the challenges businesses and entities are having and trying to figure out ways

Thomasville, North Carolina • Your Town. Your Times.
Davidson County Extended Day School, an alternative education option for ninth through 12th grade, outlined its plan for a School Improvement Grant (SIG) to the county Board of Education Monday night. The SIG grant, which totaled more than $65.4 million, was divided up among 25 schools in 19 districts to be used towards a three-year improvement plan. While Davidson County Schools applied for about $6 million in March, Extended Day received only about $2 million – not that the administration is complaining. A team of people formed to re-create the world at Extended Day, as Ben Terrell, student services director, put it. The goal – to improve student achievement and increase the graduation rate.

Beyond responsibility — Revolution TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist
You say you want a revolution? This green series features ideas built around The Responsibility Revolution, by Jeffrey Hollender and Bill Breen. Using Seventh Generation as a model, they offer examples and challenges for other companies to “innovate powerful ways to build market share and grow revenue by confronting confounding social and environmental challenges.” Not content to take profits and “do good,” this book leads the charge to “do good,” while making a profit — a revolutionary idea. The authors admit that neither Seventh Generation nor the other exemplar companies have fully embedded the responsibility revolution. Yet without clear
and concrete examples of how it can and is being done to some degree, the bar does not move. Take Timberland as a case in point. With about 6,000 employees, this mainstream company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Yet they are cited as transparency leaders, a newly accepted part of being a good global citizen. When Timberland made a decision to close a Chinese factory that constituted 17 percent of its production, they admitted failure without spin. Additionally, they have moved from issuing an annual report on the state of their corporate responsibility initiatives to issuing quarterly reports on their key indicators. And they attach a “Green Index” tag on some products to show their impact on the environment. What about a smaller company? What can it do? Responsibility Revolution offers a blueprint for revolutionizing businesses regardless of size or stature: The mission matters. When organizations stand for something, they separate themselves — in a positive way — from the competition. Dare to wear the see-through.
Through the Internet, everyone has so much access to information that it’s almost impossible to bury the baggage. Publicly baring the hard facts is a trademark of the truly responsible company. The company is a community. Talented people work at all levels of the organization. Collaboration harvests it and captures the creative spirit. Bring consumers inside. Good companies listen to their customers and external stakeholders. Innovative ideas often spring from end users. Make it real. It’s not about good PR or appearing to be green to gain more green. The actions of a company have to align with its words. Build a corporate consciousness. Develop a collective view of who and what the company should be, and use it to make strategic decisions. The last item, “Build a corporate consciousness,” returns us to the challenging question at the close of last week’s article: What does the world most need that we can uniquely provide? When I reflect upon his question I’m reminded of an influential
writer from a different sector — theologian Frederick Buechner. Buechner’s words on vocation offer direction for the individual which mirror the same corporate wisdom espoused by Hollender: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” My sense is they are both saying it is a place worth looking for.

One wrong turn leads to embarrassing moment MUSICALLY SPEAKING
JOSEF WALKER Guest Columnist
I was involved with the Miss America program for 30 years. It started with my being an accompanist for the Miss High Point Pageant, and then an accompanist at Miss North Carolina. I was the vocal coach and accompanist for Susan Lawrence Googe (former Miss Thomasville), who became Miss North Carolina and first runner-up to Miss America. In addition to playing piano and being a vocal coach, I’ve served as emcee, certified pageant judge and chief judge. For my last 10 years with the Miss North Carolina Pageant, I was chairman of Judges Seminars. Miss America requires that all judges must attend at least one seminar annually to retain certification and they are offered twice a year in Raleigh. The purpose of the seminar is to acquaint the judges with the rules and regulations of Miss America, to clarify the point system for judging and point out what to look for in talent presentation. I would normally handle vocal and piano performance and would always have someone else to critique dance, be it ballet, tap or jazz. That being said, I was very familiar with our pageant and the pageant officials.
Each year in June, there would be a cocktail party on Saturday afternoon of the pageant for the judges. Then they would be taken out to dinner and would show up later in the evening at Memorial Auditorium for the pageant. On Wednesday of pageant week, the executive director came to me and asked if I’d like to attend the party. He told me that they had arranged for a string quartet from the North Carolina Symphony to play but something had come up and they would not be able to. He asked if I would mind playing the piano and assured me that I would be well paid. I said I’d love to and thanked him for the invitation. Herein the names change to protect the guilty: The cocktail party was to be held at the home of the Rothrocks — one or the corporate sponsors — in a very nice section of Raleigh. The guests were other corporate sponsors, the judges for the pageant, the Miss North Carolina board members and guests and field director from the Miss America Pageant. Now this is long before the days of the GPS and so being young and male I would never have dreamed of stopping and asking directions. I’m also never late and so I started early and finally found the neighbor-
hood about 15 minutes early. It wasn’t easy to see house numbers but as I turned the curve, sure enough, there was the house. It was just a little bit smaller than the governor’s mansion with a wall around the property, wrought iron gates, just like he said. I parked my car and started walking down the long drive way. I’m dressed in a tuxedo, music case under my arm, at that time long blonde hair neatly combed, and shoes so shiny you could see yourself in them. As I got nearer the house, I saw the flagstone terrace with three pairs of double French doors opening onto it. One of the doors was ajar and I could see the grand piano inside. I could also see through the other doors people putting food on silver trays and scurrying around getting things ready. This is really nice I thought, really nice. Rather than going to the front door, since I though I’d know most of the folks there, I decided to enter from the terrace and surprise them. I’d just start playing and they would find me I thought. I let myself in and there was the large grand piano with fresh cut flowers in a large silver wine cooler on it. I was impressed. This is really a nice place! I put down my case and starting spreading out piano music all over
the music rack of the piano. I sat down and started playing. Boy, were they surprised! Within seconds there was a lady standing at my right elbow, I thought she was going to say “Welcome.� or “O how beautiful.� She did not, she asked, “Who are you?� and as I started to tell her, she interrupted with “and why are you here?� I was stunned. I said, “I was invited to play for this cocktail party.� She asked “Well, who asked you?� When I said I was with the Miss North Carolina Pageant and the Rothrocks had invited me she said, “Well, this is the Webster residence and they live four doors down on the right!� Oh my Lord! How I wished the floor would open up and swallow me. I hurriedly gathered up my music. Although it only took seconds, it felt like it took five minutes at least. I apologized again and again and made my unceremonious way out. As I was leaving, she shared with me how little she thought of our program. It was the lowest form of cheap entertainment and was demeaning to women ... etc., etc. By this time, I was literally running down the driveway, realizing that I was going to be late and out of fear for my life. I think she held
Hers was just the first large house I saw with wrought iron gates. I was paid very well for the gig and was given a nice tip as well. Mr. Rothrock actually walked me to the car himself, thanked me again and shook my hand. In his hand was a crisp $50 bill. I’ve already been paid I protested and given a tip. What is this for? He winked at me and said, “Hazardous duty pay.� He smiled and walked away. I found my way back to the auditorium making sure not to drive back the same way I came. That was over 10 years ago, yet I will always remember having been the uninvited guest of the Websters. Goodnight, Mrs. Webster, wherever you are. Hope you have a song in your heart.

me in the same esteem that one would normally hold Nazi war criminals. When I arrived at the Rothrocks, I went to the front door and rang the bell. The host welcomed me and called into the kitchen, “Josef ’s here.â€? The executive director and some friends came to greet me and said, “Did you get lost? We were worried about you.â€? When I told them where I had been they said, “You’re kidding? ‌ Tell me you’re kidding?â€? It turns out that Mrs. Webster had already told the local pageant committee and the Miss America folks what she thought of the pageant. They all burst out laughing, some laughed until they cried. Throughout the cocktail party, people kept coming up to me and interrupting me to ask what had happened. The bad thing is that Mrs. Webster probably thought they had put me up to this trick, but I really was innocent.

The new American frontier VIEWPOINT
MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist st in the right direction for most states. There is a handful, including Nevada that lead the way in unemployment with an eye-popping 14.2 percent, which still had the misfortune to see a slight uptick in the rate and have lost more jobs. Michigan, California, Rhode Island, Florida and Mississippi, in that order, are the other hardest-hit states all above an 11 percent unemployment rate according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Vermont, New Hampshire, Nebraska and North and South Dakota are at the other end of the scale with a rate of six percent or less and have all gained jobs with the exception of South Dakota, which held steady at a low rate of 3.6 percent. The states that are suffering the most were also the hardest hit by the housing bubble that burst and are a commentary on what happens when too much of a city or state’s economic health is in one basket. Both the private sector and the state and local governments had become dependent on an influx of new money or higher taxes as a means to support a larger lifestyle without asking enough questions about the structure it would take to keep the party going. As the congressional elections approach remember to ask a lot more questions about who was in power during those decision making years when casting a vote this fall. The leaders who were willing to give the voters what they wanted willy-nilly without a plan for leaner times are the ones we want to avoid ever electing again. Big budgets that didn’t hold enough revenue back for rainy days have put a lot of states in enormous financial trouble. That same rise in housing prices was already siphoning off one of Florida’s old mainstays, retirees who were already starting to choose other more affordable locales a few years before the mortgage lending scandal was exposed. Analysts have also pointed to the lack of a diversified private industrial base as another factor that has hurt
some states’ bottom line. Once the artificial rise of new construction and real estate speculation was removed there was nothing to fill the vacuum. No new technology base or corporate headquarters such as in Virginia or Minnesota who are riding out the Great Depression a bit easier with a rate of seven and 6.8 percent unemployment. These are the same states that showed some restraint in adding on services during the fat years and are now able to at least consistently continue with basic needs for their constituents. Both states have reasonable sales taxes, no inheritance tax and real estate taxes that fall in the middle of the pack. In other words their longterm legislation seems to be more balanced and therefore there’s less fluctuation in the good or the bad times. However, that still leaves an awful lot of states and certain cities such as Las Vegas, Miami, Phoenix, and Detroit that are really feeling the pinch. But maybe there’s also an opportunity. To all of the entrepreneurs out there, consider the idea of a new American frontier. In the 1800’s a lot of Americans were willing to risk their lives just to travel west and that was for land that had no infrastructure and a lot of perils in order to stake their claim. In the new millennium the new frontier consists of all of these cities, which already have an infrastructure of sewers, technology, schools and roads and would welcome a budding industry or even a company. It’s not to say that choosing Detroit as a new horizon would be easy but it would be very American and a great place to bargain for advantageous tax breaks or real estate and then hire locally. Maybe Wall Street can cease to be the place where all of our money is pocketed and we can start to spend it on different Main Streets instead. Our forefathers who struck out for new ground knew they’d have to think on their feet when it came to every aspect of their new lives but they were determined to see it through. There have got to be some people out there who are looking for the same opportunity in this generation and have the steely backbone and quick wit to do the same. Yes, we have gone through a Great Recession where all of our bad habits were stripped away. But maybe it was so a new Renaissance would have a clean slate and some obvious places on the map from where it can all begin again.
More freedom is a safe bet VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist The other day, a citizen went before a House committee and urged its members to stop their burdensome interference with her business. “At its most basic level,” said Annie Duke, “the issue before this committee is personal freedom, the right of individual Americans to do what they want in the privacy of their homes without the intrusion of government.” I know what you’re expecting: At that point, the politicians all had a good laugh and told her to get lost so they could get back to meddling in people’s lives. But no. Not only did they hear out the winner of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship, they did exactly what she suggested. The committee voted to lift the federal ban on Internet poker and other online gambling, while approving a measure to tax and regulate it. This happened over the objections of Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., who expressed shock that his colleagues would “open casinos in every home and every bedroom and every dorm room, and on every iPhone, every BlackBerry, every laptop.” There are two good responses to that complaint. The first came from Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, taking a position one rarely associates with Massachusetts Democrats: “Some
adults will spend their money foolishly, but it is not the purpose of the federal government to prevent them legally from doing it.” The second is: The casinos are already wide open everywhere you look. As Duke noted, unlimited online gambling already awaits “any American with a broadband connection and a checking account.” Law or no, the United States is the biggest online betting market on the planet. Americans wager an estimated $6 billion a year in cyberspace. Four years ago, Congress tried to stamp out online betting by forbidding banks from transferring funds to Internet gambling sites. But it was spitting into a gale. “Gamblers have used online payment processors, phone-based deposits and prepaid credit cards to circumvent the ban,” reports The New York Times. It’s an old problem: When lots of people are eager to enter transactions with other people that do no direct harm to anyone else, the government can’t realistically hope to prevent them. All the ban accomplishes is to push the industry offshore, leaving U.S. customers more vulnerable to fraud. Well, that’s not all it accomplishes. It also encourages Americans to do their gambling elsewhere: going to casinos (now found in 33 states), wagering at off-track parlors or buying lottery tickets peddled by state monopolies. The lotteries are a motive for governments to oppose legalization of online gambling, since it might take away customers looking for better odds. In a country where other types of gambling are permitted, there is no moral argument for excluding this kind. But gambling critics depict the Internet as a dark abyss leading the unwary to their doom — “the ‘perfect storm’ of harm,” according
to the group Stop Predatory Gambling. By making access so easy, we are told, virtual wagering will create hordes of new gambling addicts. It’s easy to forget that in the old days, opponents denounced casinos for luring bettors into dimly lit bunkers where they would fall victim to card sharps, leggy waitresses and rivers of booze. Now the same opponents suggest that Luxor Las Vegas is far safer than that den of vice you call home. But the fears about online wagering are demonstrably bogus. Britain legalized Internet betting in 2005, and the government’s 2007 survey found that while 68 percent of Brits place bets each year, only 0.6 percent of the population falls into the category of “problem” gamblers. That number has not budged since 1999. In the end, there is no good reason for the federal government to prohibit citizens from engaging in a peaceful, popular and enjoyable activity that almost all of them can handle responsibly. Nor is there any point, since those citizens are going to do it anyway. Congress would be wise to accept that age-old reality and settle for harvesting the tax revenues Internet betting can generate. Maybe it would be the start of something even bigger. After all, it’s not every day you hear congressional Democrats making the case for more freedom and less government. When Barney Frank acts on the view that “most actions the government should stay out of,” it would be a shame to stand in his way.

The county recruited Summer Industries about five years ago and now seeks to add a 50,000 square-foot building onto the existing 110,000 square-foot facility. While the company initially said it wouldn’t hire any more people, it has now announced an immediate need of 20 people. Part of the reason for the sudden influx of expanding businesses stems from manufacturers waiting until the time was right. “If you listen to a lot of these national business shows on television, they’ll tell you that we continue to hear that corporate manufacturing in America is sitting on $2 or $3 trillion worth

Other companies, however, are merely looking for building space and haven’t yet reached the number stage.

Many of the bills the House of Representatives already has passed are still floating around the Senate, a situation that has become all too common on Capitol Hill. “This is a tremendous example of working together,” said Watt of CCS. “If we can figure out a way to be helpful with any of their concerns, I need to know about it.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

Environmental Disaster
An Ocean of Oil Oil and water don’t mix SEA LEVEL photo courtesy U.S. Coast Guard
More than three months ago, an explosion on an oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico set off what scientists think may be the worst environmental disaster we have ever faced in the United States. The oil that leaked into the ocean is still killing sea animals, plants and birds. But officials hope this catastrophe will push Americans to work harder for our environment. This week, The Mini Page talks to an expert about the oil spill, its effects, and how kids can make positive changes for our future.
OCEAN FLOOR
What happened in the Gulf of Mexico? Oil is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels were made from fossils, or the remains of animals and plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. When ancient animals and plants died, they became buried underground and crushed by heat and pressure for millions of years. This turned them into liquid or gas. These important fossil fuels may be miles under the surface of the Earth. In the case of the Gulf of Mexico well, the oil was two miles under the ocean floor.
When people drill to find oil, they often also find explosive natural gases, such as methane. Experts think that on April 20, a bubble of gas moved about 5,000 feet up the oil platform’s “riser pipe.� When it got near the platform, it probably came into contact with a spark or a flame. This set off an explosion that killed 11 workers on the oil platform. Oil began spilling into the ocean from two places in the riser pipe.
If you’ve seen pictures of the thick oil in the water, you may wonder why it doesn’t sink in the ocean. Oil is less dense, or has less weight for a certain amount, than water. Experts say tiny bits of oil naturally seep into the ocean all the time. Microbes, microscopic life-forms, living in the ocean break down these little bits of oil. But microbes are overwhelmed by such a big oil spill. Nature helps get rid of the oil in other ways. Some of it will evaporate, or become part of the air. Some will be broken down by water and light. Some of the oil from the well will eventually attach to other particles in the water and settle on the bottom of the sea.

Stopping the Oil Experts say once oil is spilled, it’s hard to clean up. Since the accident on April 20, many different methods have been tried to clean up the oil.
Break it up Scientists have tried using dispersants (dis-PURS-ants) — chemicals that do sort of the same thing as natural microbes. Dispersants break up oil into small droplets that attach to other things in the water, such as plants and animals. But these chemicals also make it harder for people to “capture� the oil.

Jackie Chan plays Mr. Han in the movie “The Karate Kid.� He has starred in many movies. He was the voice of Monkey in “Kung Fu Panda.� He was his own voice in the animated series “Jackie Chan Adventures.� His birth name was Kong-sang Chan. He grew up in Hong Kong. When he was 6, he began going to drama school. There he trained in martial arts, acrobatics and music. His first jobs after school were as an acrobat and stuntman in movies. When he was an adult, co-workers in Australia nicknamed him Jackie, which was easier for them to pronounce. He is also a singer and has performed many of the theme songs in his movies. Jackie supports many charitable causes, especially for kids and the elderly. His causes also fight against animal abuse and pollution. He is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick
Workers have also tried burning the oil off the surface of the ocean. This method is difficult because of weather and tides putting out the fires. Also, the fires can add to air pollution.
Skim it off A skimmer moves across the water surface and sucks up the oil floating there. But usually it gathers much more water than oil.
Yellow booms in the water surround a piece of land where brown pelicans land.
Protect wetlands For oil floating on the surface, scientists use booms, floating bumpers with “skirts� hanging into the water, to protect certain areas where oil could do the most harm. They may use a series of booms, one inside the other. The inside ring may be a sorbent boom, which attracts oil. Outer rings keep oil out. In the gulf spill, booms may not be very effective because so much oil is rising up from the ocean floor.
The company that owns the oil well and scientists are working hard to stop the leak at the bottom of the ocean. You have probably heard news reports about many different ideas they’ve tried. Experts say the only sure way to stop the leak is to drill a new well, called a relief well, close to the damaged one. They will use the new well to pump a special heavy liquid into the broken well, followed by cement, shutting off the leaking oil. This will probably happen early in August. In early June, a funneltype structure called a containment cap was lowered over the leaking CAP well. A pipe leading up to container ships collected some of the oil. In July, a better-fitting cap was lowered over the well, shutting off more of the flow of oil. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick

Looking Ahead Dr. Carl Safina of the Blue Ocean Institute examines a tarball from the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico during a recent visit to coastal Louisiana. This type of oil on human skin can cause burning, redness and swelling.
A long-term problem Even after the leak is stopped, the effects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are expected to continue for years or even decades.
Oil and animals Experts say the poisonous oil gets through the thin outer surface, called the membrane, of fish eggs. Fish breathe oxygen through their gills. The sticky oil clogs the gills and makes it impossible for them to breathe. Brown pelicans dive into the ocean to catch fish. When they dive through the oil, it coats their feathers. Pelicans and gulls try to preen, or clean their feathers, but end up swallowing the oil. In the nest, oil may rub off their feathers onto their eggs, poisoning them. Birds also may die of hypothermia, or becoming too cold, because their oil-soaked feathers can’t insulate them from the cold ocean water. When many animals die, it affects the food chain. Larger fish, birds or other animals may starve without smaller fish to feed on.

Oil and plants
What can we do?
Sargassum (sar-GAS-um) is an important marine plant in the Gulf of Mexico. It provides food and habitat for young yellowfin tuna, crabs and other marine life. Experts believe the oil is killing the sargassum in the gulf. Wetlands are low-lying areas with lots of watery soil, plants and animals. They are all around the mouth of the Mississippi River, which empties into the gulf. Scientists are worried about how the oil will affect the plants and animals that live in wetlands, such as crayfish and grassy plants called sedges.
Kids may feel overwhelmed about the oil spill. It is a huge problem. But you may be more powerful than you think. Kids can encourage adults to find easier and less harmful ways to get energy, such as solar and wind energy. These are called renewable energy sources. For instance, you might write a letter about clean energy to your representative in Congress. You can also learn more about endangered or threatened species close to your home and work to help them. You might clean up a stream or a park to make it safer for animals and people.

Ceretha Mitchell shows off a new backpack that students at TPS will be using to take home books.
READING From page 1 reading assignments. When the students come back to school on Monday, they return the backpack and pick up another one at the end of the week. There will be a different backpack for each student in a particular classroom, and the initiative will run the entire school year. “I think it’s a tremendous opportunity for our children,� said TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin. “You multiply how many weekends we have during the school year times five and that’s how many books a child is going to take into their home. Some children may not have a lot of books at home so this is a great opportunity with our literacy initiative and it’s going to pay dividends for us, no doubt.� TCS has more than 600 books available for students, and the goal of the initiative is to increase children’s comprehension and understanding by constantly having reading material easily accessible. Kindergarten students also will par-
ticipate in the program, but they will not start taking backpacks home until the fall. Mitchell said that by waiting with the kindergartners gives the first-time students an adjustment period while they get used to being in school. Mitchell also said TCS would like to expand the program to fourth and fifth graders should more funding become available. “We’re real excited about it,â€? Mitchell said. “Hopefully, the more time with text increases comprehension. The more opportunity they have to read a book, hold a book, and understand a book, the more apt they are to read.â€? In other news: • TCS unanimously approved a revision to its wellness policy that recognizes students need adequate nourishing food and physical activity in order to grow, learn and maintain good health. TCS ensures child nutrition programs comply with federal, state and local requirements, physical activity programs are accessible to all children, and adequate resources are provided to implement and support the wellness policy.

Dorzweiler removed as coach BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor
CALENDAR TODAY CPL
Petitt Cup First Round TBA
For the past seven years, the Thomasville HiToms have been playing in the postseason — three of which ended in grand fashion with a Coastal Plain League championship. This season took a different path. The Tommies ended their dismal season Monday evening with another loss, ending up with a 17-37 record. It was the worst season in franchise histo-
ry, and that does not sit well with team President Greg Suire. “To finish .500 every now and again, OK,” said Suire. “But to finish 20 games under .500 here, with as much work as we’ve put in this place, that’s unacceptable for me as a leader. I have to do a better job. We went from being a dominant team in this league, to this year where we had quality players, but just did not gel. This is rock bottom.” Suire took the first step to-
wards righting the ship soon after the game Monday evening, informing manager Tom Dorzweiler that he would no longer be at the helm. Dorzweiler is a man that is well respected within the organization, and Suire made it clear that he would remain with the program in some manner. “Tom will remain with the organization in whatever capacity the new coach sees fit,” Suire said. “He will be with us some-
how for sure. But the role, (as coach) as the record shows, just did not fit with him.” Suire would like to name a manger with head-coaching experience by the end of this month, and plans on getting him involved quickly in the recruiting process. The recruiting steps taken by Suire for the 2010 season may have been the first of many blunders for the year, and he accepts fault for that.

a freshman. Lewis, though, is gone and will be replaced by redshirt sophomore Sean Renfree. Cutcliffe is confident Renfree is ready to run the offense and maintain a productive passing game. But he knows Duke must get more out of its running game if it is to have a chance to match last year’s win total. And he’s confident it can happen. “We had a great spring in that regard,” Cutcliffe said. “We’re more physical on the offensive front. We certainly have some competition there. I think our running backs can make some things happen.” In the backfield, Duke returns junior Jay Hollingsworth and sophomore Desmond Scott, while listing redshirt sophomore Patrick Kurunwune and freshman Josh Snead behind them on the depth chart entering the start of practice on Aug. 9.
GREENSBORO — State’s Ted Brown, the ACC’s all-time career rushing leader, highlights the 12-member 2010 class of ACC Football Legends, which was announced by the league Tuesday. Four other running backs also are in the Legends class: North Carolina’s Ethan Horton, Duke’s Jay Wilkinson, Virginia’s Barry Word and Wake Forest’s Larry Hopkins. Georgia Tech defensive back Randy Rhino, Clemson quarterback Steve Fuller, Boston College defensive back Tony Thurman, Maryland wide receiver Darryl Hill, Florida State defensive end Peter Boulware, Miami defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy and Virginia Tech defensive end Cornell Brown round out the rest of the class. The former players will all be honored at the ACC Night of Legends event on Dec. 3, the weekend of the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. They also will be recognized during halftime of the game on Dec. 4 at Bank of America Stadium. Brown, who played for the Wolfpack from 197578, is the only player in ACC history to be named first-team All-ACC for four consecutive seasons. He is the leading rusher in ACC history (4,602) and holds NCSU records for most yards in a season (1,350), most touchdowns (51) and longest run from scrimmage (95 yards vs. Syracuse in 1977). He was an All-American in 1978 and spent eight years in the NFL after being taken in the first round of the 1979 draft by the Minnesota Vikings. Horton was named ACC player of the year in 1984 after leading the league in rushing with 1,247 yards. He ranks sixth on the UNC career rushing list (3,074) and

Blue Devils look to run ball more BY STEVE WISEMAN Herald-Sun Correspondent DURHAM — Duke’s offense, built on passing, passing and more passing will be on display at Wallace Wade Stadium again this season. Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe, though, promises a necessary wrinkle. “I think we’ll run the ball better this year,” Cutcliffe said. “We’re going to throw it. Everyone knows that. But we are going to run it better.” While going 5-7 last season to log the program’s most wins since 1994, Duke did so with a one-dimensional offense. The Blue Devils led the ACC, and were No. 9 nationally, with 3,660 passing yards (305 per game) as Duke threw the ball 501 times in 12 games. Conversely, the Blue Devils were last in the conference in rushing offense, compiling just 762 yards and a measly 2.2 yards per carry.
Six ACC running backs topped Duke’s rushing output by themselves, including ACC rushing leader Ryan Williams of Virginia Tech who had more than twice as many yards (1,655). The main reason for Duke being more pass-happy, of course, was personnel. Senior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis threw for 3,330 yards and helped wide receiver Donovan Varner lead the ACC in receptions with 65. “Last season we played to our strengths,” Duke senior center Bryan Morgan said during last week’s ACC Kickoff media session. “We had a fantastic quarterback. We had great receivers. This year we’re fortunate to have those receivers coming back. So we just played to our strengths. This year, we want to get the running game better.” Varner is back this season and is a preseason All-ACC pick. Also returning is Conner Vernon, who logged 55 catches for 746 yards as

LEGENDS From page B1 spent eight seasons in the NFL after being selected 15th overall in the 1985 draft. Wilkinson, who played quarterback and halfback for the Blue Devils, earned ACC player of the year in 1963 when he finished second in the league in rushing. He helped lead Duke to a two-year record of 20-9-1, which included back-to-back ACC championships in 1961 and ’62 and finished ninth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Hill, who transferred from the U.S. Naval Academy and was a standout wide receiver for the Terps from 1963-64, was the first black football player in the ACC. Hill led Maryland in receiving in 1963 with 43 catches for 516 yards and seven touchdowns, which was a school record at the time. After a short career with the New York Jets, Hill earned a master’s in economics and returned to Maryland in 2000 as a fundraiser. Rhino still is the only three-time first-team
All-American (1972-74) in Georgia Tech history, and his 14 career interceptions remain No. 2 in Yellow Jacket history. Named to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 2002, he still holds the record for longest punt return in Tech history, a 96-yarder against South Carolina in 1972. Fuller is one of only five two-time ACC players of the year (1977, ’78), having led Clemson to a 27-8-1 record during his final three seasons including an ACC championship in 1977. Thurman, who was at Boston College from 1981-84, is tied for fourth in NCAA career interceptions with 25. Boulware was named the 1996 ACC defensive player of the year, and Kennedy helped the Hurricanes win a national championship in 1989. Brown was named national defensive player of the year in 1995, while Word was the 1985 ACC player of the year. Hopkins led the conference in rushing in 1971 and helped Wake Forest capture the ACC championship in 1970.

FRIENDSHIP-HASTY ALL-STARS WIN TITLE The Frienship-Hasty All-Stars are the 2010 regional champions for Davidson County Schools, and went on to place third at the state competition July 23-25. Team member are (front row, L-R) Brent Godwin, Will Bethune, Walker Covington, Tanner Cecil, Zach Wentz, Jimmy Dasher, Anthony Alexander, Michael Burchett. Second Row: Andrew Olvey, Bryson Conrad, Michael Boyles, Logan Werran, Zac Stowe, Dalton Craven, Chris Poole, Dylan Raybon. Back Row: Coaches Jeremy Cecil, Tim Leonard, Tony Craven and Jeff Poole.
COACH From page B1 At one point, the team had 18 freshmen on it out of 27 players. Though talented athletes, the experience factor may have led to some of the problems, especially with no clear leader being established. “I recruited them so that falls on me,” Suire said. “I fell prey this year to getting kids who were very talented at bigger programs, but they were just too inexperienced. We have to be older next year without a doubt. You will see a lot more veteran kids here. Maybe not as many from the high-profile schools, either.” Hearing some of the stats Suire rattled off were mind-boggling in a bad way. The offense hit just .246 as a team, slugging only 20 home runs. As bad as the offense may have been, the pitching was twice as woeful. “The most startling number this year was our
walks,” Suire said. “We allowed 280 walks and our opponents walked us 183 times. A 100-walk difference is a lot to overcome.” So, was the talent level just that far of a drop from the past few seasons? Suire does not think so. “Alex Yarbrough started every day at Ole Miss, Tyler Frederick started every day at Louisiana Lafayette, Zak Wasserman started the second half of the season considerably at Louisville, Kyle Grieshaber started from the get-go at Louisville, Chris Fritts split time at Tennessee and Tanner Mathis split time at Ole Miss,” Suire said. “They had the time in, just for some reason it did not flourish here. We came up with about 13 kids off this team that could be drafted.” What’s done is done, and there is no way to go back and change the events that have taken place the last couple of months. All Suire can do now is keep his eyes straight ahead and work tirelessly to get the HiToms back to being dominant. “There is always next year,” he concluded with a smile.

It will be led by coaches from both Ledford High and Middle Schools. This two-day camp will focus on offensive and defensive skills as well as important baserunning fundamentals. The cost of the camp is $35 and will include two days of instruction, a camp T-shirt and camp insurance. Each camper should wear comfortable athletic attire with cleats if they have them.

Mack (Butler); Chris Singleton (Florida State); Howard Thompkins (Georgia); Mike Tisdale (Illinois); Kemba Walker (Connecticut); and Chris Wright (Dayton). Villanova’s Jay Wright will coach the Select Team. “One of the great developments of our Las Vegas camp was the USA Select Team, which consisted of juniors and seniors out of the college ranks, that we brought in to scrimmage against the USA National Team,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. “Lorenzo Romar and Jay Wright did a terrific job of coaching the select players in Las
Vegas. “It worked so well we’ve decided to bring to New York a smaller group of players from that Select Team to do the same thing. They were very valuable to us, and it’s a great experience for them.” This will not be Singler and Smith’s first experience with USA Basketball, as the pair were teammates on the USA’s U18 Team that won gold at the 2006 FIBA Americas U18 Championship. They also were teammates on the USA Junior National Select Team that beat an international select team at the Nike Hoop Summit in 2007.
