PREYING ON INNOCENCE Internet a gateway for predators BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

eet Chase Rhodes, a Thomasville teenager who, on the surface, looks like a normal kid with his whole life in front of him. In the summer of 2009, however, two separate incidents involving Rhodes and the Internet cast a dark shadow over social networking sites and just who is behind the person on Facebook or MySpace. Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office twice arrested Rhodes between July 20 and Aug. 11, 2009, for sexually assaulting women he met on the social networking site MySpace. According to warrants and DCSO press releases, Rhodes befriended women on the site, communicated with them via text messages for a few weeks before eventually meeting them in person. In one case, Rhodes met a 23-year-old woman in a parking lot on N.C. Highway 109, forced her into his ve-

hicle and assaulted her with unwanted sexual advances. “They’re predators and they prey on the naivety of the victims,” Sheriff David Grice said. On June 9, Rhodes was convicted on three counts of sexual battery, including an assault from 2002, and received 60 months probation. Cases like this are prime examples of how social networking sites can be used for all the wrong reasons. While the problem may be relatively new, as social networking sites continue to grow in popularity worldwide, law enforcement agencies are taking steps to ensure sexual predators don’t have free run of the Internet. “It’s very difficult to prevent,” said Det. Lt. Kimberly Sebastian with Thomasville Police Department. “The best thing we can do is educate parents and educate the kids themselves to try and recognize the signs. You think you’re talking to a 13-year-old boy when you’re really talking to a 50-year-old man. You can’t always trust that people are who they say they are.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION • To report a case of sexual abuse or assault, contact Thomasville Police at 475-7755 or Davidson County Sheriff’s Office at 474-2645. • Search the North Carolina Department of Justice Sex Offender Registry at http://sexoffender.ncdoj.gov/search.aspx • If you suspect sexual abuse of a child, contact Davidson County Department of Social Services at 474-2760.

Emotional trauma lingers for victim BY ERIN WILTGEN

Staff Writer Editor’s Note: The names have been changed in the following story to protect the victims and their families. arah’s monster didn’t come in the dark of night, prowling from the unknown depths under her bed or oozing from the black abyss of her closet. Instead, her monster stalked with a disarming smile and in broad daylight, whispering innocently into her ear. It was summer 2009. Ten-year-old Sarah had spent the night with her best friend, Lindsey, a frequent occurrence for the two playmates, who had known each other for years. After breakfast, the girls ran outside for a game of hide-andseek. Though Lindsey’s father wasn’t home, a friend of his stopped by and jumped into the girls’ game. “One, two,…!” Lindsey yelled, turning and covering her eyes. Sarah dashed off to find a hiding place. The man came up to her and quietly told her he had a better hiding place in mind. The two crept off to an alley between two buildings. And Sarah’s nightmare began.

TCS orientation has lesson for parents BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

After months of planning and training, Thomasville High School is ready to go with its new oneto-one laptop initiative that will put a computer directly into the hands of every student. Now it’s the parents turn. Starting Monday, THS will begin holding parent orientation sessions for each grade level and attendance is mandatory before a laptop can be issued to a student. Parents will be provided with the necessary and required information regarding the care of use of laptops, the insurance information, online safety practices and an explanation of the laptop agreement contract. Teachers at THS have spent the summer learning how to incorporate laptops into daily education with representatives from Mocksville, who began a similar initiative three years ago. “We’re excited about it,” THS Principal Deboy Beamon said. “Our teachers are very prepared. For insurance purposes, we have to ensure parents have been properly trained on what’s acceptable use for

FROM PAGE A1 NEED HELP? For more information on how to protect children from sexual predators or what to do if a child has been abused, visit: • Darkness to Light - http://www.darkness2light. org/ •Child Advocacy Center of NC - http://www. childadvocacycenter.com/ • Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina - http:// www.preventchildabusenc.org/

INTERNET From page A1

DCSO joined a multijurisdictional task force designed to combat Internet-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children and TPD is currently in the process of training one of its officers how to identify online predators. Thomasville City Schools is launching a new one-toone laptop initiative this year, but access to these social networking sites will be blocked. Measures are being taken to address this issue, but police still urge parents to get more involved with what their children are doing while online. Sebastian recommends parents not allow their children to have computers in their rooms, but rather keep one in a central location of the house. Parents also need to know who their children are chatting or communicating with on sites like MySpace and Facebook, and just how much information about themselves is available to people other than friends. “Kids are less likely to go into chatrooms or on websites if their parents are in the room,” said Sebastian. “Set up firm rules and if the kids break those rules, you pull the plug and take the computer away. It has to be a joint effort and something the parents are educated and stand firm on.” Grice said he thinks online predators are beginning to realize the police are monitoring these sites. Officers are trained to act like a young person in order to identify online sex offenders, who by law can not have a social networking site. Despite the efforts of law enforce-

ment, parents remain the best line of defense when it comes to sexual predators targeting children via the Internet. “Parents need to make it their business and know who their kids are talking to online,” Sebastian said. “If you’re worried abut where your child is going on the Internet, there are computer programs available that block certain websites. These sites are so worldwide and you really don’t know who you’re talking to sometimes. If it’s a friend of a friend, you have to be careful about the information you put out there. You have to be very careful.” Attorney General Roy Cooper helped pass the Child Exploitation Prevention Act in 2005, making it a felony for an Internet predator to solicit anyone, including undercover officers, he or she believes to be a child. The law also requires convicted online predators to be added to the state’s sex offender registry and to provide DNA samples to the convicted offender database. According to one study by EHow.com, one in 25 youths receive an online sexual solicitation where the person tried to make contact offline, either by phone, mail or meeting in person. Sexual predators seduce young people by offering sympathy or flattering appeals, luring them into taking romantic risks and taking advatnage of their inexperience and vulnerability. Teenagers also should never release sexually oriented information, erotic pictures or express interest in a romance online, the study said.

TRAUMA From page A1 The man took her close and began rubbing her chest over her shirt, asking her repeatedly if she was going to tell anyone their secret. Terrified, Sarah wriggled free and raced back to the house. She pleaded sick to Lindsey’s mom, who called home. When the girls’ mom, Nancy, came to pick her up, Sarah still felt shaken. But she kept her lips sealed. “I could tell something was bothering her,” Nancy said. “But she said her stomach hurt, so I just kind of let it go.” Once at home, Sarah declined the opportunity to play video games, sitting listlessly in front of the TV and paying little to no attention to the movie Nancy had put on. “She was just staring off into space,” Nancy said. But the mother one again chalked her daughter’s behavior up to a queasy stomach. It wasn’t until she went to tend to the laundry that she heard the first signs of trouble. “She was going to the bathroom, which is right next to the laundry room, and she was crying,” Nancy said. Nancy hurried over to her daughter and asked what was wrong. “I’ve got something to tell you, but you’re going to be mad,” the girl said. The mother thought maybe Sarah had broken something at Lindsey’s house, or perhaps the girls had gotten into a fight. “If it’s upsetting you this much, you need to tell me,” Nancy said. But she wasn’t prepared for the story spewing from Sarah’s lips. “At first it kind of like knocked the breath out of me because she had spent the night there so many times, I had never really worried about it,” Nancy recalled. “That’s what hit me the most.” Nancy didn’t know the man herself, so she went over to Lindsey’s house and asked her mom about the incident. The women called the Sheriff ’s department, and Lind-

sey’s mom called her husband, who was now with his friend. She told her husband to come home immediately, something was wrong. When the men arrived home, Lindsey’s father went into the house to speak to his wife, leaving his friend outside with Nancy. Unafraid, Nancy told the man what Sarah had admitted to her. “I’m sorry. Your child must be lying,’” he responded. When Lindsey’s father found out what Sarah had said, he and his wife sat Lindsey down and asked her about her interactions with the other man, who had known the family since Lindsey was a baby. The parents discovered that the man had molested Lindsey for more than a year. Nancy and her husband took Sarah to the Sheriff ’s department to make a formal statement about the incident. On the car ride over, the parents explained that if she got the story out of her system she would feel better, and by telling her story, the police could catch the man and keep him from hurting other little girls. “She had a hard time with it because she’d ask, ‘Why didn’t someone say something before so it didn’t happen to me?’” Nancy said. “We had to stress ‘You’re strong and we’re glad you had the courage to come tell us.’” And that fact has been Nancy’s saving grace through the incident. “At least she told,” Nancy said. “We’re sorry this happened, but at least she felt comfortable enough to come and talk to someone.” Nancy had worked hard to foster that comfort – and the knowledge that such acts by adults were not OK. With three daughters, sexual assault had been a constant fear for Nancy and her husband to begin with. “When they were little, we went over what is inappropriate for adults to do and if it happens, tell me,” Nancy said. She would reinforce to her children that if such an incident did happen, it wasn’t their fault. “We pretty much are open about what we talk about,” Nancy said. “I don’t want them to be scared

to come to me and talk about any topic they have on their mind. Any question, I’ve answered within their age.” Nancy had done her homework as far as other adults, as well. The family had known Lindsey’s parents for a while. “I had no reason not to trust her going over there,” Nancy said. “They’re really good people. They’re having a hard time with it, a really hard time.” The perpetrator himself had been good friends with the family for years and someone the children knew and trusted. “He always seemed to be the big kid that was playing with the kids,” Nancy said. “He was just a big kid.” And he always seemed to strike when the girls played hide-andseek. Since the incident, Nancy has become more protective of her daughters. Sarah rarely sleeps anywhere outside her own home – she stays with her grandparents and has spent the night at Lindsey’s once or twice. Sarah has become more protective of herself than she was before. “You can’t just come up behind her and hug her,” Nancy said. “It scares her.” Sarah hasn’t spoken much about the incident. She didn’t want to talk to the counselor, and Nancy said she rarely brings it up at home. “She doesn’t’ want to talk about it, really,” Nancy said. “I answer what I can. She wants to be informed on court dates. She feels like since she’s the one that told, that if he does get out he’s going to come after her.” But overall the girl seems to be coping well, Nancy said, despite a few emotional scars and precautions. “My child doesn’t want to play that game anymore,” Nancy said. “Other kids would come over and say let’s play hide-and-seek and she says no.”

Giving birth to immigration fears VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist The campaign against birthright citizenship has been on a roll. Last month, it won the endorsement of South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, long seen as a moderate on immigration. He favors amending the Constitution because he’s aghast that “people come here to have babies.” Graham and his allies got a boost last week from the Pew Hispanic Center, which released a report that sparked ominous headlines. “Illegal immigrants bear 8 percent of children born in the U.S.,” blared Fox News. “Rise seen in births to illegal dwellers,” proclaimed USA Today. Sweet vindication, right? Not quite. In fact, the Pew study refutes the case being made against granting citizenship to children born here to illegal immigrants. It shows that the anti-immigration crowd is chasing a chimera. Pew did estimate that of the 4.3 million babies born here in 2008, 340,000 had at least one parent who was an illegal immigrant. It also found that “nearly half of unauthorized-immigrant households are couples with children.” But how many “come here to have babies”? Not many. Jeffrey Passel, who co-authored the report, told me that “85 to 88 percent of the mothers have been in the U.S. for at least a year,” and “a majority have been here at least three years.” Someone who has a child a year or three after arriving is not exactly in line with Graham’s image of pregnant Mexicans wading the Rio Grande in search of the nearest maternity ward. At most, only 15 percent of the mothers arrived here in a mode of expectancy. But even that modest figure overstates the alleged problem. The kids referred to in the study are those with at least one illegal parent, and many of those parents are married to legal residents. If one parent is a U.S. citizen and you’re born on U.S. soil, you’d be a citizen even if Graham got his way. Only a portion of that 12 to 15 percent would be barred. The more sober opponents of illegal immigration don’t think birthright citizenship is much of a draw. When I called Ira Mehlman of

the Federation for American Immigration Reform, he said, “It’s probably one factor among many. Most people come because of better economic opportunities.” Change the Constitution, and they’d keep coming. Why are all these undocumented foreigners producing offspring on U.S. soil, if not because of birthright citizenship? Some obvious explanations: Because they live here, and because they tend to be of childbearing age, since older folks are less likely to trek through the desert for the privilege of harvesting watermelons. But the chief reason is that having kids is what human beings do, wherever they are and whatever their immigration status. The odd thing would be if these newcomers weren’t reproducing. You don’t need an incentive to get them to bear children, any more than you need artificial inducements to get college students to drink beer. Changing the citizenship rule would have little or no effect on the fertility of illegal immigrants. There is one category of foreigners who do travel to this country just to give their babies the gift of American citizenship. “Birth tourists” reportedly are catered to by travel agencies, hospitals and hotels offering deals for expectant mothers. One Turkish-owned hotel in Manhattan offers a package including month-long accommodations for $45,000, which doesn’t cover hospital costs. But it’s hard to see why this phenomenon causes so much anger among anti-immigrant groups. They complain about poor Mexicans sneaking in illegally, taking jobs, getting government assistance and staying forever. Shouldn’t they be happy to hear about rich Turks getting visas, avoiding employment, paying their own costs and leaving immediately? At any rate, it’s not exactly a raging epidemic. The National Center for Health Statistics says only 7,670 babies were born in 2006 to women who said they don’t live here, or a microscopic 0.17 percent of all live births. If we want to head them off, we don’t have to amend the Constitution. We can just deny tourist visas to visibly pregnant women, or make it a federal offense to come here solely to have a baby. But what’s the fun in addressing a modest problem with a minor change? Antiimmigration zealots would much rather mount a heroic expedition to conquer a mighty mountain. Even if it’s really a molehill. To find out more about Steve Chapman, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com.

The history of aprons THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist This one is for the ladies. Remember making an apron in Home Ec. (Economics)? Remember Home Ec? If you don’t remember Home Ec., You may want to skip this. I don’t think children today know what an apron is. The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few dresses and it was easier to wash an apron than dresses and aprons required less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children’s tears and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes halfhatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. And, when company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. When the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big ole aprons wiped many a perspiring brow bent over a hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall it was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. And, when unexpected company drove up the road, it was amazing how much furniture that apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out to the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. Do you remember when Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool? Now, in today’s modern times, her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to “thaw.” I don’t think anyone ever caught anything form an apron — but love! Note: Gayle thinks I have used this story in an

earlier column. If I did use it earlier I think it’s worth reading again. ••• In my last column, I referred to the old “Our Gang” TV show of early television days. I got my information from an e-mail which had been forwarded to me. However, early on Times publication date, July 31, in which the last “This-n-That” appeared, I received a phone call from Barney W. Hill and an e-mail from Jeff Teague indicating that I had incorrectly identified the actors name for several characters. I’ll attempt to correct that here: Matthew Beard played Stymie in 33 episodes; George McFarland played Spanky in 89 episodes; Robert Blake was also known as Mickey Gubitosi (apparently his real name). Scotty Beckett (earlier referred to as Brackett) appeared in 17 episodes but his character is unknown. Billie Thomas played “Buckwheat” in 89 episodes while Willie Mae Taylor played “Buckwheat” in 5 episodes. Barney was very helpful in clarifying this information. If you have a need for reference material or information pertaining to “Radio and Television Shows” Barney can and will provide you with the help you might be looking for. Thanks, Barney! ••• I noticed in a recent edition of the Times that the Thomasville PD is once again embracing the Community Policing Philosophy. It was a great program for our department when I served as Chief. We were recognized for “Excellence in Community Policing” by the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety in 1996. It wasn’t anything I did, but a coalition of citizens in neighborhoods and officers from the Police Department working together to make their homes and communities safer places. Get your neighborhood or community involved in the Community Policing program if you are not already involved. ••• I have mentioned Main Street Methodist Church in my articles quite a few times. It sat on East Main on the corner lot at Memorial Park Drive. Martha Blake brought me a Church Bulletin from the “Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South.” It was dated Sunday, June 28, 1936. The guest minister that day was Enmei Yue, a medical missionary from Changchow, China. The bulletin had the

names of some of the church members who were the “movers and shakers” of Thomasville in the 30s, 40s and 50s. Hopefully, Memorial United Methodist Church or the Historic Preservation Society would be interested in this piece of history. Thanks, Martha, for sharing. •••

Some things to ponder Someone passed this along to me. I thought you might find it interesting, I did! To realize the value of a brother or sister, ask someone who doesn’t have one. To realize the value of four years, ask a graduate. To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of nine months, ask a mother who has given birth to a stillborn. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To realize, the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize, the value of one minute, ask a person who has missed a train, bus or plane. To realize the value of one second, ask a person who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You can treasure it even more when you can share it with some one special. To realize the value of a friend or family member, lose one. Remember, hold on tight to the ones you love! The origin of this letter is unknown. •••

Our Way with Words

I found this quite interesting. It sounds a lot like “Lumn-Abner.” I’ll give a word, then the phrase associated with the word or phrase, the meaning and the usage. “A fine howdy do” is a reaction to an unexpected circumstance and it means. “Now that’s a fine howdy do!” A “piece” means some distance. “That old sawmill is down the road a piece” “Bring” means worth or value. What do you think that cow will bring? “Continueds” means movie serials. “After the newsreel and cartoons they showed a continued.” “Directly” means after a while. “She’ll be along directly. “ “Bless your heart” means you/that poor thing. “Well, Bless your, her or his heart.”

the community puts an iPad, beach condo rental, spa packages, restaurant gift certificates, home accessories, fine art and furniture up for grabs. This year’s theme will be “Treasure Every Moment,” a philosophical quandary hard on the heels of other themes such as “Food for Comfort” and “Around the World.” “Each year, we try to develop a theme that speaks to the public who come to maybe jog their memory a little and get them to thinking,” said Hospice committee member and Taste of the Town volunteer Carol Jollay. “For instance, with this year’s theme, you never really know if your life or someone you know is going to be affected by tragedy or ill health.” To emphasize the theme, each table will sport a treasure chest and other decorations will reflect a treasure hunt. “That message relates to what we do here at Hospice,” Hines said. “We want people to live every moment to the fullest and treasure every moment.” Taste of the Town serves as a fundraiser for Hospice. Last year, the event raised more than $130,000. “There are many people in the community who either don’t have Medicare or Medicaid or private insurance for Hospice care,” Hines said. “It goes to help those people so that we can help them no matter what their financial situation is.” But the money goes to help more than just Hospice’s medical patients. The organization also has a grief counseling department that serves the entire community free of charge as well as a bereavement program for kids. “Children grieve differently than we do, so we have special programs for children who have lost a loved one,” Hines said. But besides just the money aspect, Taste of the Town attempts to reach out to the community, to raise awareness and show the necessary relationship between the two entities. “What you get from tasting the food and the various restaurants, to me that’s secondary,” Jollay said. “To me, what’s important is that good feeling you get when you come through that door and you think, ‘My dollars are going to help someone who needs that care.’ They go away knowing that their dollars went directly to help someone, and there are few events like that. Every dollar counts.” And for Jollay — and many Taste of the Town visitors, she said — the event

If the patient wants to die at home, Hospice staff does everything possible to bring services to the house. “The purpose of Hospice is to add more quality of life at the end of life, to make sure that people are as comfortable as possible at the end of life,” Hines said. “There’s no need for someone to be in pain or alone at the end of life.

We traveled to see our families last week. It was good to get away and to visit with our families, but it was equally good to come home. While we were visiting our folks, we ate plenty of good food, shared some laughs, and caught up on all the extended family news. We all lead such busy lives that sometimes it is hard to keep up on what is happening in the lives of our family and friends.

I spent some time talking with my Mom and my in-laws about the old stories. I asked my Mom about the flood when she was a child. Even though I had heard the story before, I learned more details about it this time. It must have been a scary thing to go through as a child. We also talked about her parents and growing up in a small town. I learned more about relatives and discovered that some people that I thought were relatives were really only good neighbors. My mother and I talked about the circumstances in which she was raised and the impact it had on her life. We talked about the early years of her marriage and our family. There weren’t many new details, but it is good to refresh my memory while I still have my mother to reference. We also talked about how decisions were made and

how to go about making good decisions. I was thirsty to gain the wisdom that was available. I talked about hurricanes and their impact on my father-in-law who grew up on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. We discussed faith and our churches, politics and hot political issues, economic issues, and we shared a few jokes to lighten the mix. It was interesting to get his perspective on situations and circumstances. I also talked with my in-laws about how they raised their own food, which included vegetable gardens, chickens and hogs. They talked with me about something my generation knows almost nothing about: slaughtering and dressing meat. There is an art to the process and many of those details will soon be lost. Most people don’t know how to clean and prepare fresh meat

and how not to waste any part of the animal. As I listened and talked with my in-laws and my mother, I worried that their stories would go with them when they are gone. Their stories offer insight for living. They have wisdom they have learned through experiencing life. Their stories are a part of our heritage; they make up the fabric of life. Their stories are a testimony of where they have come from and how they got here. In our Christian walk, God wants us to have a testimony. He wants us to be able to tell our stories of how He has impacted and changed our lives. He wants us to be able to tell the stories of how He got us through the difficult situations, how He rescued us from a life lost in sin to one of freedom in Christ. If God has touched you miraculously, He wants you to

tell the story. If you have had the high privilege of seeing His divine hand at work, He wants you to tell the story. There are so many things and people who have helped to forge each of our testimonies and who could be dramatically impacted by our testimony. I believe God wants us to think about Him and our interaction with Him. He wants us to read the Bible and to allow those old stories to infect our lives and to infuse us with the hope, peace, joy, forgiveness, and the love of God. When we read that nothing can separate us from God’s love we need to allow our beliefs and knowledge to intersect with experience so we can share that with others. The gospel has the power to change our lives and that change is a powerful testimony of God’s interaction with us as He molds us and changes

New product will help protect children BY JIM SIMONDS Guest Columnist

I watched an interview this week with Bill Bennett, former Secretary of Education for President Ronald Reagan and “Drug Czar” for President George H.W. Bush. Bennett has had many interviews this past week regarding a new product called “MouseMail.com.” Here is how MouseMail says their product will work when it is up and running: MouseMail.com is a patent pending, secure, safe digital environment for children, protecting them from vulgar, sexual or bullying emails or texting. If MouseMail. com determines that the content is questionable, the email/text is automatically forwarded to the parent for clearance. Should the parent approve the message, it can be sent to the child; if believed to be inappropriate, the message is permanently blocked by the parent. Using MouseMail.com, a parent can program the cell phone for

specific hours access, and the parent can shut off cell messaging during school hours. However, the system allows specified contacts to be reached by the child or can reach the child at all times. I was very excited to see that this product is available. I believe it will help parents, educators and children. Parents will finally have a way to protect their children from harassment via text messages. It used to be that if you monitored who your children were with and what was said on the phone at home, you could shelter them from many of the hurtful people in this world. Now, other youth send them lurid or mean messages and they have their day interrupted by garbage that hurts their self-esteem. Our children were created in the image of God and they don’t need to have people bombarding them with inappropriate messages. It is a tough call for educators on whether to have cell phones at school. For one, they are so

easy to hide. Also, there are times emergencies arise where a cell phone is helpful. This technology stops texts from coming through during the day so students can focus on school work and the friends who are around them. Children and youth are likely to complain about MouseMail. They are likely to see it as an invasion of their privacy. MouseMail does not allow parents to monitor texts or see what their children are receiving unless it is inappropriate material. Parents do have the right to protect their children from harm. This is a tool that assists parents in the God-given task of raising their children in a supportive environment. By the way, perhaps some of us who are adults could use a little filtering on what we allow ourselves to read. Jim Simonds is Pastor of Zion United Church of Christ in Thomasville.

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 modified 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 financial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice.

Fans get sneak peak of Bulldogs BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor

CALENDAR TODAY BASEBALL Petitt Cup Championship TBA

A couple hundred fans trickled into a humid Cushwa Stadium Friday night, wanting to catch an early glimpse of how good their beloved Thomasville Bulldogs may be this season. One of those in attendance was none other

than the No. 1 Thomasville fan himself, Warren King. There was plenty of excitement hovering throughout the stands, and for good reason. The Bulldogs appear to have the pieces they need to make another deep run in the 2-A playoffs, as they came up two wins shy of the state title game

in 2009. King is always excited about football, but he may be more pumped up about this season more than any other. It has been a long couple of months for the proud waver of the THS flag. He is a huge fan of Thomasville HiToms baseball as well, but it was a grueling and disappointing summer as the team finished

17-37. With baseball out of the way, his full attention is directed towards the gridiron on Friday nights. “They (HiToms) didn’t do so hot this year, but my mind is on football right now and I am ready for the 2010 season to begin,” King said. Though the Bulldogs made mistakes here and

Baddour addresses investigation BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — Before North Carolina coach Butch Davis stepped to the podium Thursday for the Tar Heels’ football media day, athletic director Dick Baddour took center stage. For 10 minutes, Baddour addressed the ongoing NCAA investigation into members of the football team, again reiterating that the school will not discuss details of the case per the NCAA’s request. NCAA representatives were on the UNC campus July 12-13 to interview players, though the school has not identified which members of the football team

were interviewed. Defensive lineman Marvin Austin and wide receiver Greg Little reportedly have been the focus of the inquiry. However, The Herald-Sun reported on Thursday that the office of N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall has sent a letter to sports agents who are registered in North Carolina requesting that they save any information regarding contact with Austin, Little, Deunta Williams, Kendric Burney, Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant. Even though Baddour did not share any new information, it was his first time in a room full of reporters since news broke of the investigation in mid-July. Baddour said he does not think

school officials have hidden from the review, but they are trying to work with the conflicting interests of the public’s desire for information while trying to protect the rights of the individuals involved in the review and respecting the NCAA process. “What you have to understand about an ongoing process is that it’s obviously bad, and so as you get into things, you find out things,” Baddour said after reading a prepared statement. “You may hear about something that wasn’t on the table, so that sends you in a different direction. “My position is [that] when it’s over, we’ll be in a position to

DURHAM — Duke’s football team finally engaged in some full-pad, full-contact drills Friday morning, and the ramp up in intensity couldn’t have arrived fast enough for Blue Devils. “I love it,” Duke linebacker Adam Banks said. “You get to put on some plastic and run around and hit a little. “For me, it’s the unofficial kickoff of the season. That’s what really kicks off the season. I love it.” The defensive guys on Banks’ side of the ball even lined up noseto-nose with the offensive linemen to work on some intense goal-line situations that sent the adrenaline flowing. “We figured out how physical we will be on the goal line,” offensive lineman Brandon Harper said. “We had a good goal-line session — both on defense and on offense. For the first day going live, it was interesting.” Duke began preseason practice Monday night. But NCAA rules, aimed at creating an acclimatization period, prohibited players from wearing the full allotment of pads until the fifth day of practice. Because the players wore helmets for protection Monday and Tuesday before adding shoulder pads Wednesday and Thursday, Duke coach David Cutcliffe was limited in his player assessments. He was able to see much more during Friday’s two-hour practice. “It was a good start,” Cutcliffe said. “I was real pleased with the contact. We saw more physical play on both sides of the ball than we’ve seen. Now, will we sustain it?” In addition to the goal-line work, Cutcliffe thought the work between the defensive backs and receivers stood out. After finding themselves behind the de-

Eight and bait, Time to get to it

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist My first surf fishing trips to Cape Hatteras were a mixed bag. Some of the time I caught more fish than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been catching at other beaches and some of the time the weather closed me out. Part of the problem was that I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned where to fish depending on the wind direction and part was that I was not equipped for the big waves and strong currents that are common to that part of the Atlantic. The Outer Banks of North Carolina are some of the harshest water you will ever surf fish in. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing between you and jolly old England to break up the big waves of the Atlantic Ocean. On those rough days, you can just sit around the motel, but the problem is those days are often when the big drum bite. Big Red Drum and the husky winter stripers love current and those big waves generate current. Strong Northwest winds mean drum in the fall on the north beaches of Hatteras and strong south west winds mean the same on the south side of the point. A smart man duck hunts with the wind to his back and fishes with it in his face. The problem I had in those early days at Hatteras was that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep my bait out if the wind got very strong in my face. As with all things there is a learning curve and eventually I learned how to fish in high currents. The other big issue is getting the distance that you sometimes need to get over the sandbars that line the Outer Banks. The most important part of the equation is tackle. To fish those rough days, or even normal days in the high current areas where the big fish are, you must have tackle capable of throwing an eight ounce sinker for long distances. Rods rated for less than eight will toss eight but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really effective. A better bet would be a rod rated for 10 or 12 ounces. Remember, the bait often weighs an ounce or two and often ten ounces stays out better anyway. I like rods with a lot of backbone near my hands, I find it disconcerting to feel the rod bend in the grip section. When I first started fishing Hatteras, rods that would throw twelve ounces were heavy and unwieldy unless you spent three hundred dollars on a G Loomis or bought a custom made

rod. This is no longer the case. Tica, and numerous others now make rods that are so close to the $300 rods that it takes a serious fisherman to tell the difference. These rods are available for around $150 in 11 and 12 foot models. They are light weight, durable, and have the backbone needed to heave a sinker with authority. I use 20 pound test line for this kind of fishing but if I fish in a crowd I sometimes use twenty five. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also necessary to have a shock leader on the line that is about 40 pound test to prevent snapping the line with the load generated by a 12 foot rod and a eight or 10 ounce sinker. This leader should be a little longer than twice the length of the rod to make sure there are several wraps on the reel when casting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nice to have that heavy line when you bring a big fish up in the wash. The last 25 feet are where most fish are lost, especially in heavy surf. Once you get a few wraps of shock leader you can horse the fish a little more. Spinning reels work well and are less expensive than casting reels. They work just like the little reels that are used in fresh water. For surf fishing in these conditions, I would want a reel capable of holding 250 yards of 20 pound line. You will want a reel with a good durable drag as well since the fish you are after will test the best drag systems. For this kind of fishing, I put a Cannon line release on the rod. The Cannon, made by Breakaway, works like a trigger to release the line. Twenty pound test line loaded with a ten ounce sinker will cause considerable discomfort to the end of your index finger when casting. The Cannon allows you to release the line by releasing the trigger without the line cutting into your finger. You will cast farther because loading the rod wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. I use casting reels because of comfort. Spinning reels are heaver and more unwieldy to me when handling a heavy fish. Casting reels are harder to use at first, but much more comfortable once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mastered the art of casting and laying line back on, or packing, the reel. Casting reels will also cast farther than spinning reels since the spinning spool of the casting reel feeds the line off and the spinning reelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stationary spool requires the line to pull off for the whole length of the cast. I suppose that you could learn to cast this tackle while fishing, but it would take a long time and I would only attempt it if I lived on the beach. Fishing time is important and expensive and it is best to have the bugs worked out before you drive out on the beach. Resign yourself to the fact that some

lady who is walking the jogging track will ask you if you are catching anything. Use common sense about where your sinker will go should you break it off. I like to pad my practice sinker with duct tape. Modern casting reels have controls that prevent backlashes. As you develop a smooth cast, you can lighten the control until you are getting distance without backlash. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning to cast, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn to lay the line on the reel. Surf casting reels should not have level-winds. The knot for the shock leader will cause backlashes going through the level-wind guide. One hundred yards is not a long cast with this kind of equipment. Most good surf casters can throw eight and bait, as it is called, between 100 and 150 yards. Some can cover 200. Yes that is two football fields. By the way, light lures can be cast very long distances with light surf casting equipment as well. A good casting reel and the right rod can cast a one and one half ounce lure over a hundred yards. Buying this kind of tackle and learning how to use it requires some work, but once mastered, it allows you to get more fishing time and access more good water at the banks. True, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a couple of months away from time to do this kind of fishing, but

DEVILS From page B1 fense in earlier practices, Duke’s standout receivers (which include all-ACC pick Donovan Varner, Conner Vernon and Austin Kelly) made progress. “We probably had the best day there competing,” Cutcliffe said. “It had been just one group dominating the other, really more of the defense dominating. The receivers took the challenge today much better.” The flip side to the good news is that contact brings injuries. Cutcliffe said four players were held out of Friday’s practice because of various ailments. Starting center Bryan Morgan has an ankle sprain, while starting cornerback Johnny Williams and linebacker Kevin Rojas were sidelined with sore hamstrings. Reserve tight end Danny Parker also has an ankle sprain. With Morgan out, Brian Moore shifted over from right guard. Redshirt freshman Joey Finison, who is No. 2 on the depth chart behind Morgan, continued to work with the second string. “We’re not going to take any chances with [Morgan],” Cutcliffe said. “We moved Brian Moore over, and he functioned well. We didn’t have a snap on the ground.” Cutlciffe is hopeful all four can be on the field for Duke’s next milepost, Monday night’s initial full scrimmage at Wallace Wade Stadium. “What I want to see for the most part is just basic, fundamentally played football,” Cutcliffe said. “I’m not interested in the schemes as much as I am evaluating where some of the players are. We’ll worry about schemes later in the process.” As much fun as the Blue Devils had during Friday’s practice, Banks said Monday will be even better. “That,” he said, “will be all out.”

talk about it and so I don’t want to speculate. I don’t think that’s fair to the people involved, I don’t think it’s fair to the process, as well. I’m going to do what it is they ask me to do.” Baddour called the past few weeks a trying time for the school but said there is no timetable for when the NCAA investigation may conclude. “It’s territory that the University of North Carolina has not been in,” Baddour said. “How we run this program, the integrity of this program is a core value for us. And the world doesn’t know it, but we spend an enormous amount of resources and time in doing things the right way. It’s a disturbing time for all of us.” Baddour said he decided to make the

But even though Baddour’s statement might have addressed some NCAA issues, Davis still found himself facing questions about assistant coach John Blake. Blake, along with defensive tackle Marvin Austin and wide receiver Greg Little, reportedly is under investigation by the NCAA because of his connection with long-

time NFL agent Gary Wichard. Davis said Blake was a good teacher and defensive line coach but would not discuss Blake’s relationship with Wichard. “Anything that has anything to do with any kind of investigation or any kind of review, we’re not going to talk about it,” Davis said. “I can talk all you want to about football.” Davis is not the only member of the UNC program who wants to focus on football. It’s clear the lingering NCAA investigation is starting to wear on some of the players. “It’s kind of annoying when new stuff keeps coming out on the news and we don’t even know about it,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “We go into the lunchroom and there’s another thing up there on ESPN. It’s like, ‘Geez, come on, let’s get it over with,’ you know? “We’re all ready to move on.” But for now, all the Tar Heels can do is wait and see.

Children of yesteryear: It’s a miracle we survived UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

First, we survived being born to (some mothers), who may have smoked and or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. Then, after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in a baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets, and, when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps, not helmets, on our heads. As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes on the car. Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank KoolAid made with real white sugar. And we weren’t overweight. WHY? Because we always were outside playing, that’s why! We would leave home in the mornings and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And, that was OK! We would spend hours building tree-houses, and go-carts out of scraps and ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running into a few bushes and scraping our faces, arms, and knees, we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Play Stations, Nintendos, and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 250 to 300 channels on cable, no video movies or DVDs, no surround-sound or CDs, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms or Facebook. WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits for those accidents. We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand, and no one would call child services to report abuse. We ate mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and although we were told

it would happen, we did not put out many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them. Little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those that didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was SUNDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

BUSINESS

Priority power ASK THE COACH

TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, It seems as if time is moving faster. I have more “To-Do’s” on my list than hours in the day. How can I get a grasp on my time? — Running Out of Time Dear Running Out of Time, It does seem as though time has increased its speed. Our weeks seem like a day, we blink and it is gone. We look at the calendar and wonder where the year went. The encouraging report is there are some specific rules that apply to time. Our awareness of these principles is a key indicator as to how we decide to spend what we have. Time is a valuable asset that is perishable. This means that it cannot be saved. We must spend what we have everyday. We have all heard someone say, “I will take a vacation, get more organized, clean the garage, visit my family, or read more when I get the time.” All of us have a “Someday I will list” and we say “Oh, I will get to that when I get more time.” The reality is we cannot get more time. This is one area where everyone in the world is equal. We all have the same amount and we have all the time there is. We cannot make it, nor can we save it to spend later. Time, it just keeps ticking and we must spend all of it everyday. There are tremendous amounts of resources on the subject of time management. But I believe we cannot manage time itself. The only thing we can manage is ourselves within the time. All things require time. No matter what you want to do in life, whether it’s work, a round of golf or sleeping that extra few minutes, it requires time. Time is indispensable. There is a rule in planning called the 10/90 Rule. This rule says that the 10 percent of time you spend to plan your activities in advance will save you 90 percent of the effort

involved in achieving your desired results. When we take the time to plan it helps us to think through the actions and steps involved in completing the task. We have also heard people say, “I don’t have time for this.” What they are really saying is “this” is not important to me. In order to get control of our time we must know our highest priorities. Only then are we able to say “yes” to our goals and “no” to the things that are not in line with what we are trying to achieve. Time is irreplaceable. Nothing else will do, especially in relationships. Highly successful people understand that time is the only currency that builds relationships at work and at home. Most people equate the amount of time you spend with them to measure how much you care about them. When I think of time, I think of it as currency in exchange for something else. Our time should be spent in exchange to what really matters to us. We have 168 hours in a week. Evaluating how you are currently spending that time will help in taking control. The average person spends 49 hours per week sleeping, 6.5 hours eating and 40 plus hours working. So that leaves 72.5 hours per week for other activities. When we stop and evaluate we often discover that what we say is important and what we do with our time is different. By planning and making these necessary adjustments, we can gain a greater level of control while living a purposeful and peace life.
