Bulldogs’ coach off limits to media this season BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville High School varsity football coach Allen Brown will not be talking to the media this season. Brown did not attend the Bulldogs Media Day on Friday and when reached by phone that afternoon, deferred all questions regarding the football program to assistant coach Stan Baronowski. Brown said he would not be addressing the media this season but did not give

Teen faces additional larceny charges BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Charges just keep coming in against a Thomasville teen suspected of breaking into dozens of vehicles throughout the Chair City. Since last We d n e s day, Tyler Adam Robinette, Name here 19, of 1109 Harvest Drive, has been charged with an additional 14 counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle, 11 counts of misdemeanor larceny, one count of felony larceny, one count of injury to personal property and one count of larceny of a firearm, adding to his already lengthy list of allegations. Between Thomasville Police Department and Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office, Robinette has been charged more than 70 times in the past month. “He has been involved in quite a few of these type of B&E situations around Thomasville,” Sheriff David Grice said. “More charges just keep getting added as detectives gather more information for warrants” According to warrants obtained from the Davidson County Clerk of Courts Office, TPD has charged Robinette with 27 counts of breaking and entering, 24 counts of larceny, one count of possessing stolen property, one count of felony conspiracy and one count of larceny of a firearm. DCSO has charged Robinette with nine counts of breaking and entering, eight counts of misdemeanor larceny, one count of larceny of a fire-

ABC scores high for county schools BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Davidson County Schools continues its trend of improvement. With Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) scores already recording progress, the school system’s ABC scores, reported in the beginning of August, also carry a positive overtone. Of the system’s 32 schools, 29 – or 90.6 percent – reached expected or high growth and 20 – or 62.5 percent – achieved a performance composite of 80 percent or higher. “We are happy with that,” said Assistant Superintendent Dr. Sandi Lee. “Obviously, we’d like to have 100 percent, but what we’re happier with is the number of schools that have 80 percent proficiency or higher.” The ABC system, created in 1996 and expanded in 2002-03

‘Obviously, we’d like to have 100 percent, but what we’re happier with is the number of schools that have 90 percent proficiency or higher.’ — Dr. Sandi Lee DCS Asst. Superintendent to meet No Child Left Behind requirements, sets growth and performance standards for every school in the state. Scores take in growth, proficiency and AYP status. Growth looks at the rate students learn over an academic year. Each student is given a target score based on the end-ofgrade (EOG) tests of the previous two years. Students are expected to perform as well as or better.

In Davidson County, all 14 of the middle and high schools made expected or high growth, with 11 making high growth, and 15 of the 18 elementary schools made expected or high growth, with four making high growth. Nineteen of 32 schools system-wide met the School of Distinction or Honor School of Excellence designation as opposed to 13 in 2008-09. A School of Distinction made at least expected growth with an 80-89 percent proficiency, while an Honor School of Excellence made at least expected growth, AYP and 90-100 percent proficiency. Proficiency measures the percent of students who scored at or above grade level. Proficiency measures the achievement of a school. Growth measures a student’s change in academic achievement.

Thomasville City Council voted to amend the rules and contract for rental of the Farmer’s Market facility to allow the sale and consumption of alcohol at its meeting Monday. Council members also had to amend a city ordinance prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol on city property except for Finch Field and Winding Creek Golf Course. Both votes passed 6-1, with Council Member Raleigh York Jr. opposing each time. The amendments would allow events at the new PACE Park amphitheater to have a beer garden of sorts – a location where people could buy and sell alcohol in a controlled setting while still maintaining a family-friendly environment. Alcohol would be served at events using or adjacent to the Farmer’s Market property, not during normal Farmers Market operating hours. “There are places all over that have events and have a controlled environment with responsible salesmen there to provide alcohol,” said Council

HEALTH

Health threats increase with temperature LIFELONG HEALTH

DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist

I just returned from my annual vacation in Carlsbad, Calif. The beach was beautiful, the daytime temperatures were in the upper 70s, the sun was out and the sea was warm. After a perfect weeklong vacation, I thought that I was ready to arrive home, until I had to face the 90-degree Arkansas heat and unrelenting sun. Currently, cities throughout the country are blasted by an awful heat wave that is not only uncomfortable but also unhealthy. In fact, this sort of extreme summer heat can be deadly. During heat waves, many susceptible people are at risk of developing dehydration and heatstroke. As the body tries to maintain a normal temperature, exposure to high heat causes profuse sweating, increasing heart rate and respiration. Increased flow of blood through the lungs and skin helps reduce body temperature.

More dangerous than excessive sweating, heat exposure can cause a heart attack or stroke, particularly in people with cardiac problems. High blood pressure, diabetes or significant obesity increases the risk of heat-related illness. In addition, medications can make coping with heat waves more difficult. Many tranquilizers interfere with the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to cope with heat as do beta blockers to treat high blood pressure and diuretics to promote fluid loss. Alcohol particularly compounds health dangers of heat, as it not only leads to fluid loss but also interferes with judgment, which may result in an inebriated person spending more time in the heat than appropriate. Older adults are at particular risk of serious problems during heat waves. Aging blunts the thirst drive, making it difficult to recognize dehydration or the need to increase fluid intake. Research has shown that when fluid is withheld from anyone over the age of 70, it takes much longer for the body to replace the fluid than it does in a younger person. If fluid is not replaced, a condition called delirium develops, which leads to confusion, even less fluid intake, and a vicious cycle of worsening dehydration and confusion.

Once dehydration occurs, the ability to regulate body temperature becomes compromised. The temperature can increase to 105 degrees or more. In turn, this leads to damage of many organ systems and a high risk of death. Each year, hundreds of older people die from heatstroke, particularly if they live alone or in homes that do not have air conditioning. For many older people, problems with heat can occur without much exertion, but for younger people, it can be extremely dangerous spending a great deal of time outdoors during extreme heat or exercising when it is very hot. Early problems suggesting heat problems include: headache, dizziness or fainting, profuse sweating, cold and clammy skin, muscle cramps, a rapid heart rate, and nausea or throwing up. As the problems progress, heatstroke can occur. Symptoms include increasing confusion, unconsciousness, seizures, and serious and life-threatening drops in blood pressure. Whether you are young or old, healthy or suffer from chronic illnesses, be prudent in dealing with sultry summer days. During this time of the year, even an elite athlete can collapse and die from heat exposure. If you develop a headache, become light-

headed or have any of the symptoms described above, get out of the heat and drink plenty of fluids. Call 911 if the person becomes confused, disoriented or collapses. Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely hot, it does not mean that you must spend all your time indoors. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go outside during the hottest time of the day, and in a serious heat wave, be sure to drink liberal amounts of fluids, avoid alcohol and caffeine (a potent diuretic), and find out if any of the medications you are taking can increase the risk of dehydration and heatstroke. Never exercise during the hottest time of the day and always carry plenty of water. If the heat is blaring, take some time to check on the older people in your life. Remember, they are particularly susceptible to heat-related health problems. Make sure that they have adequate air conditioning and are coping well with the heat. Follow this simple advice and everyone should be able to survive the summer without health hazards.

International students enrolled in DCCC programs

A record number of students filled Davidson County Community College classrooms Monday as fall classes began. Among them will be six international students dedicated to learning new skills to take back to their home countries after completing a year of study in the United States. In addition to educational opportunities, the students will benefit from professional development opportunities and exposure to American society. The students represent three different countries including Ghana (Africa), Pakistan (Southeast Asia) and Nicaragua (Central America). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We welcome the diversity these students bring to our campus and communities,â&#x20AC;? said Elaine Sill, project coordinator for International Education at DCCC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their presence reinforces the ongoing efforts of community colleges such as ours to build international ties and allow our students to understand the importance of understanding other cultures in an increasingly global society.â&#x20AC;? The three men and three women are enrolled in electronics engineering, business administration and automo-

tive technology courses, all in the DCCC School of Business, Engineering and Technical Studies. They are participants in an international education program offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in partnership with Community Colleges for International Development (CCID). Dr. Mary E. Rittling, president of DCCC, serves on the CCID Board of Directors. Five of the six students arrived in early June to prepare for fall curriculum courses by enrolling in preparatory courses such as English as a Second Language and testing to assess their proficiency in English, reading and math. In addition, they are adapting to life in a different culture. The sixth student arrived in early August. Muhammad Younas Rustamani, one of three students from Pakistan studying business administration, said he feels so welcomed by the instructors and administration at DCCC, he already feels at home. He is appreciative that he and his fellow scholar exchange students are being guided through each step of becoming familiar with academic programs, social life and culture.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to learn about U.S. culture and my course work to try to build mutual understanding between the people of the U.S.A and people of Pakistan so that global misconceptions and conflicts may decrease and so that all nations will fight collectively against evil, like extremists and terrorists,â&#x20AC;? Rustamani said. Rustamani has studied public administration and has four years of experience in the development sector. He plans to continue in this area of work after returning to Pakistan. Akua Achiaa of Ghana is one of two international students enrolled in the electronics engineering technology field. She has previously studied at a technical school in her home country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the hope and dream of becoming a professional electrical engineer in the field of automation so I can contribute to my countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of developing industrially,â&#x20AC;? she said. She looks forward to learning about American culture and helping her fellow students at the DCCC understand the Ghanaian culture. This is the second year DCCC has hosted international students as part of the Community College Initiative Programs

What was I going to say? VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist The Daily Telegraph brings welcome news — “Old age begins at 27 as mental powers start to decline, scientists find.” It seems that the University of Virginia conducted mental acuity tests on 2,000 adults over the course of seven years. The results: Your steel-trap brain is at its best around the age of 22. By the time 27 rolls around, you’ve already begun to depreciate. Those of us who are well past 27 can smile smugly as the younger set takes in the fact of its relative senescence. A 30-year-old may feel pretty immune to the ravages of time, but aha! we now know that he or she is taking just a smidge longer to factor those square roots than someone fresh from college. As someone who got her first gray hair at the age of 24, I’ve always been unusually conscious of time passing. This needn’t be morbid. My junior high school French teacher had a sign on her desk that read “Wasted time is wasted life.” Bearing that in mind can make you crazy or it can make you productive. It may have made me a bit of both. Study or no study, most 27-year-olds will not perceive their creeping decrepitude. That comes later. About age 45, most adults notice big things, like their vision deteriorating. “It’s the age when your arms get shorter,” explained an ophthalmologist. I don’t mind this. Before I had Lasik surgery I wore glasses anyway. It’s not such a shock to need readers — though vanity forbids doing the only sane thing, which is wearing them on a chain around your neck. I’d rather leave a pair in each room and spend time patting piles of papers in search of missing ones than look like Marion the Librarian. Becoming far-sighted isn’t so bad. Losing your shortterm memory, however, is another matter. What was I saying? Oh yes, short-term memory. In the last several years I have forgotten countless appointments, addresses, events, and e-mail addresses. I laugh if someone tells me a phone number when I am without pen and paper. I have

three calendars and a BlackBerry that rings to remind me of things and I still manage to screw things up. Bill Cosby recommends that when you forget why you entered a room, you simply back out and walk back in again. This sometimes works. I tell my family that my declining powers of recall are a boon to them as I can enjoy the same jokes over and over. This works less often. You must hone compensating skills, like searching for that bored look in your spouse’s eyes to alert you that you are repeating yourself. This rarely works. I have forgotten the names of friends’ spouses and children hundreds of times. I now understand why my parents had so many acquaintances called “whatshisname.” Big social occasions become gauntlets as people whose names I’ve forgotten greet me by mine. When I do remember someone’s name I sing it out proudly — and then later cringe at the thought that I may have gotten it wrong anyway. I wish I could wear a sign around my neck at times like these. It would say roughly the following: “Please don’t take it personally that I cannot remember your name. I can list the last several articles you’ve written that I particularly enjoyed or the talk you gave at whatever that was broadcast on C-SPAN. But names are my nemesis!” There are other dismaying aspects of middle age, but there are also major compensations. Truly. George Bernard Shaw (at least I think I remember that it was Shaw) famously quipped that “Youth is wasted on the young.” One great aspect of getting older is that you gradually shed your self-consciousness. To quote Cher’s character in “Moonstruck,” you “get over yourself.” Young people are in perpetual fear of being embarrassed, of saying or doing or wearing the wrong thing. They are burdened by an exaggerated feeling of conspicuousness. We middleaged people get to the point of not caring so much about the opinions of others. We know that most of the time people are too wrapped up in themselves to even notice or care what we may be doing. And if they do take notice and judge us harshly, who cares? Suddenly little old ladies in tennis shoes make perfect sense. So fear not. While the mental decline may begin at 23, the serenity kicks in later.

A brand new page turner VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist The furor about the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime labs, the history and culture of Lumbee Indians in and around Robeson County, and a best selling North Carolina author’s new novel. Can we bring all these themes together in one column? I am going to try and, while I am at it, I will throw in a connection to one of my favorite home-cooking “Interstate” eateries. Kathy Reichs’s “Spider Bones” hits the bookstore shelves in a few days. It is the 13th in Reich’s popular Temperance Brennan series. Like Reichs, her fictional character, Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist. They are models for the “Bones” TV series. Readers of “Spider Bones” will get an education on the proper role of professionals who use their expertise to help law enforcement agencies solve crimes. They will also get a great story, much of which takes place in familiar territory — in Charlotte and in Robeson County. Reichs often takes her readers to Charlotte, where she has been a professor of anthropology at UNCCharlotte and where she and

Temperance Brennan live. She and Brennan also live part-time in Montreal, where each of them work with Canadian law enforcement agencies. As forensic anthropologists they can often discover important information from the examination of the bones of crime victims. When the “Spider Bones” story begins, Brennan is in Canada. She gets an assignment to help investigate and identify a dead body that turns up near a small town south of Montreal. A fingerprint check ties the body to an American, John Lowery. But John Lowery was killed during the war in Viet Nam and is buried in Lumberton, or so everyone thought. So Brennan has to go to Lumberton to begin the effort to determine whose bones were actually buried under John Lowery’s gravestone. (While she is in Lumberton, Brennan stops at Fullers Old Fashioned Barbecue. “Ignoring the buffet, I ordered my usual. Barbecued pork, cole slaw, fries, and hush puppies. A tumbler of sweet tea the size of a silo.” This stop is not critical to the plot, but it is good information for anyone looking for home-cooking just off I-95) To solve the mystery of the bones in Lowery’s grave, Brennan goes to Hawaii, where she partners with the U.S. military’s Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover and identify Americans who have died in past conflicts. Along the way, Brennan uses her forensic skills to help solve several other crimes and identify the remains of other victims. And the reader learns some of the consequences of unpro-

fessional crime lab work. Readers also learn that forensic science, while a great help in providing clues to help solve crimes, is not always appropriate for proving guilt in court. Sometime scientists, when presenting evidence, have to admit that they are not absolutely sure what the evidence proves. Their roles as scientists and advocates can conflict. And, as the reader learns in “Spider Bones,” even identifications based on fingerprints or DNA matches with relatives are not foolproof. North Carolina readers have an advantage. When they see the Lowery name and Robeson County, they may guess, before other readers, that John Lowery is a Lumbee Indian. They will be prepared for a little plot twist that depends on his Native American DNA. Is there a helpful lesson here for us, as North Carolina faces a challenge in rebuilding confidence in the SBI Crime Lab’s work? “Spider Bones” reminds us of one possibly very helpful fact. North Carolina has at least one person whose training and experience has taken her to crime labs all over the world. If I were the Attorney General, I would give Kathy Reichs a call today. D.G. Martin hosts UNCTV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www. unctv.org/ncbookwatch/.

“While growth is very important, you could have high growth and still be a very low-performing school system,” Lee said. “Our parents look a lot at proficiency scores.” Davidson County Schools increased proficiency in grades 3-8 math and reading as well as fifth grade and eighth grade science. But high school proficiency showed the

OBITUARIES Davidson County Schools ranked eighth highest in the state with an 87.9 percent of schools reaching AYP.

the alcohol issue, saying it wasn’t a decision that the council took lightly and members made sure to add stringent rules and regulations. “This is a decision that I know we all struggle with because we come from seven different points of view,” said Council Member Scott Styers. “We think this is a step to increase quality of life and economic vitality of downtown.” York said that personal opinion prevented him from supporting the amendment. But morals notwithstanding, he added that he feared the negative effects of alcohol. “I’m concerned as a council member to endorse an activity that could possibly open us up to liability,” he said. “It is not if we have a problem, but when we have a prob-

lem.” And York wasn’t the only individual present with reservations about permitting alcohol at the Farmers Market. David Hedrick, pastor at Promise Baptist Church, opposed the amendment and said many of his parishioners do the same. “We have an AA meeting every Tuesday night,” Hedrick said. “When I see the word alcohol, it boils something in my blood. I see what alcohol does.” Citing a few examples of drunken misconduct, Hedrick said he was concerned despite the reassurances that the Farmers Market is an enclosed structure. “America’s drowning in alcohol,” he said. “Davidson County is drowning in alcohol. Thomasville is drowning in alcohol. We just don’t need to keep

opening it up. I know it’s revenue, I understand that, but somebody’s got to step up and take the ball and run with it and hit this thing head on.” In other news, the council: Approved the plan proposal for Partners for Playgrounds, a project that would replace equipment at six parks. The City will contribute $50,000 to the project, which has a goal of $350,000. Declared a parcel of property at the corner of West Guilford Street and Church Street surplus.

Robinette is accused of stealing various items such as sunglasses, cash, GPS units, a case of soda, Ipods, digital cameras, cell phones, computer software, MP3 players, credit cards, a pair of shoes, a baseball hat and a pack of menthol cigarettes. He was still in police custody on Monday and is scheduled to appear on court on Aug. 19. “The chances are pretty good his case will go before the Grand Jury,” said Joe Black with the Davidson County Clerk of Courts Office. Robinette already was

on supervised probation following a second charge for underage drinking. On Sept. 24, 2009, two charges of misdemeanor larceny and possession of stolen goods were dismissed, and on June 14, 2010, there was insuffi-

cient evidence to convict Robinette on charges of misdemeanor larceny and obtaining property by false pretenses.

The wait will finally be over this Friday night as local high school football players will strap on the pads and pull the chin strap tight, heading out onto the playing field for battle between the lines. Two of the three area schools will be on the road, with Thomasville traveling to Cox Mill and Ledford making the short trek over to Trinity. East Davidson will play host to Randleman.

was handed a 31-0 defeat at Cushwa Stadium. The Bulldogs did pretty much anything they wanted to with the ball on the ground, easing off the pedal in the second half to not let the game out of hand. The Golden Eagles started the season off in good shape last season beating the Tigers on the road, 19-14, but the remainder of the season would be a struggle. East did have a big win over Lexington midway through the season, but would not win again in finishing

4-7 for the year. Ledford starts the season with new beginnings after bringing in former assistant coach Chris Adams to take the head job. The Panthers were tripped up at home by the Bulldogs 16-7 to start the 2009 campaign, but would later turn things around and finished the season with a .500 mark, falling in the first round of the playoffs to Carson by a 14-13 score.

Sprint Cup Series points leader Kevin Harvick increased his lead on Sunday by winning the Carfax 400 at Michigan International Speedway. The victory was his third of the season.

Harvick rolls the dice to get win BY REID SPENCER NASCARMedia.com BROOKLYN, Mich. — When you have a comfortable points lead, you can afford to gamble. That’s what Kevin Harvick did — successfully — in Sunday’s Carfax 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway. Staying out on old tires under the final caution of the race, Harvick tracked down Denny Hamlin on Lap 190 of 200 and pulled away to beat Hamlin to the finish line by 1.731 seconds. Harvick extended his series lead to 293 points over Jeff Gordon and became the first driver to clinch a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

After NASCAR threw a yellow for debris on Lap 167, Harvick restarted second behind Tony Stewart on Lap 173. Hamlin, who restarted third, took the top spot from Stewart on Lap 178, with Harvick following. Running the top of the 2-mile track, Harvick passed Hamlin through Turns 3 and 4 after Hamlin’s Toyota began to lose grip on the bottom. The victory was Harvick’s first at Michigan, his third of the season and the 14th of his career. Roush Fenway Racing drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth claimed positions three through five. Stewart, Juan Pablo

Realignment, Race to the Chase are puzzlers The past few days in NASCAR have started to resemble a Sudoku puzzle. You know the pieces are going to fall into place eventually. You’re just not exactly sure how. Sudoku is a number puzzle, usually a block of nine individual squares combining to make one big square, where you have to arrange digits in a certain order so that no line — horizontal or vertical — contains the same number twice. I have never mastered it, or completed even a single one; just thinking about it prompts a mad dash for my Goody’s Cool Orange stash. A few of the numbers, like that famous Biblical tree planted by the water, shall not be moved, but the rest are subject to relocation. The trick is finding the right spot for them to land. Some look at Sudoku and see a fun challenge. Others see an indecipherable hieroglyphic that requires the mental equivalent of a crystal ball or Rosetta Stone to sort things out. NASCAR, I suppose, sees both, although you have to wonder how in the world they manage to keep it all sensibly organized. Summer’s end is the time of year when NASCAR generally announces the Sprint Cup Series race schedule for the following season. With the notable exception of 2004 — the first official year of the realignment process — the schedule has held few surprises. Next year, however, is starting to approximate how you might feel upon walking into your home and discovering that in your absence, all the furniture has been rearranged. The official schedule hasn’t been announced yet, but various track announcements and press releases have already answered some of the questions. Atlanta Motor Speedway, which has hosted two Cup races a year for a half century, is down one. Kentucky Speedway, which has hosted zero Cup races a year since 2001, is up one. Kansas Speedway has added a second race, and Auto Club Speedway has lost one. Phoenix Inter-

Brown, Robbins take home wins Saturday BG REPORT Tim Brown was reminded what a difference a week can make at Bowman Gray Stadium. After finishing a disappointing 20th last week, Brown recovered to take the checkered flag at the Stadium on Saturday. Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg qualified on the pole for the first 25-lapper for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series, with Tim Brown of Cana, VA turning in the second fastest lap. During that all-important initial start, Jeffreys and Brown entered turn one side-byside. Jeffreys slipped a little out of turn two, giving Brown just enough ground to grab the lead. Jeffreys then began to apply the pressure to the bumper of Brown, giving him a few stout taps during the opening laps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My car was a little free, and I had to back the corner up and that let Lee get in on me there,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. One particularly strong bump sent Brown sliding, but Jeffreys got the worst of the exchange, turning a little sideways himself. Jeffreys then was forced to fend off the advances from Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem in third.

RACE From page 7 national Raceway hung on to their two annual Cup Series weekends, but the first has moved from April to February. New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been moved out of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup; Chicagoland Speedway has moved in to take its place. The new schedule is interesting, but like any sort of change, will take some getting used to. We might be banging our shins on the coffee table the first year or so. A more immediate issue is the final spot in the 12-driver Chase lineup, which has an awful lot of turnover. It brings to mind another numbers-oriented game, this one from childhood. In the process-of-elimination game Musical Chairs, the players outnumber the seats. So when the music ends and everyone plops into place, one competitor is left with no place to perch. Interestingly, in this game the last man standing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only guy still on his feet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is no longer eligible to win. In some parts of the country, Musical Chairs is also known as a cakewalk, where the one who claims the final chair literally takes the cake. In six weeks of racing, from Loudon, N.H. to Watkins Glen, N.Y., three drivers have occupied this seat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer and Mark Martin. Edwards has gradu-

Both Brown and Jeffreys were able to hold on to their position. Brown went on to claim the checkered, his fourth victory of the season. Jeffreys took second with Jonathan Brown finishing in third. Brad Robbins of Winston-Salem started on the pole for the second Modified race, with rookie Austin Pack of Walkertown starting beside him in second. Robbins was worried about how he would perform in the second race, since he had encountered a lot of handling issues in the first race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The night was a fight. This was the biggest fight Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all year. I bet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had 10 shocks and springs on this car. We came over here today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was terrible. We ran the first race, and the car was just terrible,â&#x20AC;? said Robbins. But after making some major changes in between races, Robbins was pleasantly surprised with how well his car felt during the second race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The car was actually pretty strong,â&#x20AC;? said Robbins. The No. 40 car of Robbins coasted at the head of the pack to bring home the win in the sec-

ally moved higher into the Chase field, but the other two are still duking it out, trading punch for punch like Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. Martin is a perennial contender, while Bowyer has shown himself to be a model of consistency. At this point, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no way to predict who will win the fight. Perhaps it will be neither. A handful of other guys, most notably Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray and even Dale Earnhardt Jr., are hot on their heels. None of them should be taken lightly. Newman has been known to put together some pretty impressive winning streaks in the past. McMurray has shown a knack for grabbing headlines this season, with high profile wins in the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frankly difficult to dismiss Junior with two short track races â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Bristol and Richmond â&#x20AC;&#x201D; still to be run before the Chase field is set. Soon the entire 2011 schedule will be released, and the 12 Chase drivers confirmed, leading to Las Vegas and the crowning of a champion. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a mystical process, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require an ancient granite key to unlock the answers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just a lot of time, thought and very hard work. It has taken NASCAR many months of ciphering, but the numbers now seem to be falling neatly into place, and soon the entire puzzle will be complete. In the end, what began as a random and jumbled list all adds up, and that definitely takes the cake.

From page 7 Montoya, Martin Truex Jr., Elliott Sadler and Joey Logano completed the top 10. “The biggest concern I had was the tires,” Harvick said of the call to stay out. “Once we got through those first three or four or five laps, the new tires kind of evened out. Our car was so good up on the top. We were a little off on the restarts, but what a great day. This hasn’t been the best track for us.” Harvick’s pass of Hamlin represented a 20-point swing in bonus points to start the Chase. Harvick now has 30, 10 for each win, and prevented Hamlin from adding to his 50-point total. The bonus points will kick in after the Chase field is set Sept. 11 at Richmond. Hamlin, who also stayed out during the final caution, said he wasn’t sure

whether the strategy would serve him well until the last restart. We didn’t know whether the guys with four tires were going to eat us up or not,” Hamlin said. “I think five laps into that (run) when me, Harvick and Tony started pulling away, I realized it was a three-car race for the win at that point. “But really it just seemed like whoever could get their car up front was pretty strong. You lose one spot, next thing you know your car handles a little worse and you lose more. It’s a tough balance out there to try to get track position, but you got to have everything working right for you to get that track position. Once you get it, obviously the fastest car won today. So it was at least good to see that.” In the race within a race, Mark Martin dealt a blow to his chances to qualify for the Chase in the opening laps.

Martin scraped the outside wall, damaged the right-front of his No. 5 Chevrolet and crippled the handling of the car.

UNC tailbacks ready to go BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — When talking with North Carolina senior running backs Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston, it’s easy to tell the two are starting to get annoyed by the hype surrounding the defense. There’s no question the Tar Heels return one of the top defensive units in the nation, but Draughn and Houston also feel the offense will turn some heads despite struggling a year ago. “Everybody [says], ‘The defense is top of the nation,’ and, ‘Oh, the offense sucks,’ “ Houston said. “We were picked fourth in the ACC because of our offense, so I feel like I we got to go out there and prove like, ‘Man they got some weapons in there. Carolina’s offense is no joke.’ “So yeah I feel like we’ve got something to prove.” And if UNC’s offense hopes to get noticed, it will need to start with the ground game. The Tar Heels finished seventh in the ACC a year ago with 132.8 rushing yards per game but were inconsistent from week to week. Part of the problem was injuries and inexperience on the offensive line, but a season-ending shoulder injury to starter Draughn on the first offensive play of the Duke game didn’t help. However, Draughn — who was ninth in the ACC with 56.7 yards per game last year — went through all of spring practice and said he’s 100 percent now. He spent the offseason working on his speed and said he feels more com-

fortable in the system. “I think I matured just from experience,” Draughn said. “I think reading defenses and fronts and knowing all that stuff.” Houston — who was 10th in the ACC with 54.8 yards per game last year — was back in full pads last week for the first time since the Meineke Car Care Bowl in December after missing all of spring practice to focus on academics. Houston said he is trying to graduate in December for family reasons and is currently on track to get a degree in African American studies. “I missed the spring, but I was in the film room a lot,” Houston said. “I felt like I hadn’t lost a step. I feel like I’m back in the groove.” For Houston’s first two and a half years at UNC, he was used mostly in goalline situations because of his size — he stands at 6-2 and weighed as much as 270 pounds. But over the final five games last season he proved he could be the Tar Heels’ primary tailback. Houston, who is down to 235 pounds this year, averaged 88.4 yards over the final five games, and running backs coach Ken Browning said Houston is no longer just a power runner. “He’s got really good feet and cutting ability for a guy of his size,” Browning said. “He runs with good pad level, generally speaking. He keeps his legs going so he’s a hard guy to tackle.” And it’s not just Draughn and Houston who will be competing for carries this season. Browning said senior Johnny White, who

was moved from wide receiver to tailback midway through last year, is having a solid training camp and is earning playing time. White had 19 carries for 143 yards last year. Beyond the three Tar Heel seniors, however, there is not much depth at running back. Freshman Giovanni Bernard — whom Houston called “impressive” — tore his ACL a week ago and sophomore Hunter Furr has the speed but still is a work in progress, according to Browning. “I never feel comfortable with [depth] because I thought we had decent depth last year and by the end of the year we were down to Ryan and Johnny,” Browning said. “That position attracts so much attention. When you’ve got the ball you’re the center of attention and you take a pounding and you never feel comfortable. You just try to get a group of them ready and then knock on wood that they take care of themselves and stay healthy.” Staying healthy also will be key for the offensive line, as Houston and Draughn both praised its progress from last season. They said they are excited about the offensive line this year and can’t wait to get back on the field to help the Tar Heels win — no matter how the carries are divided. “Everybody, [says] ‘Do you feel like y’all have something to prove?’ “ Draughn said. “Of course we do. We got some work to do. I just think we need to be way better than we were last year. So I guess it is something to prove.”

N.C. on pace for record foreclosures in 2010 TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH — If average foreclosure rates for the year stay constant, North Carolina will reach a record of 70,000-plus filings for 2010, according to court data. By the end of July, the state had experienced more than 40,000 filings – enough, if trends hold, to eclipse last year’s record of 63,289. “The foreclosure crisis is devastating for North Carolina’s working fami-

COACH From page 1 were taken against the former THS football coach who led the Bulldogs to three consecutive state titles before leaving for the assistant principal position at LDE in 2007. Allen Brown returned as head coach and lead THS to the state title in 2008. “I think he is upset at the way the Benjie thing got played up,” said Huneycutt. “It was not as big a deal as some of the newspapers made it out to be. He has just decided not to talk and that’s part of it. This is not completely new because he has never really been that outspoken. Knowing Allen as well as I do, he’s pretty stubborn when it comes to certain things. I don’t see him changing his mind right now, but he may. I’m going to stick by my coach. It’s not just the Thomasville Times, it’s a combination of everything that went on.” A source close to the football program said Allen Brown felt “very betrayed by the press coverage” surrounding his son’s assault charge. The source said Brown “didn’t feel the situation was handled right” and that he would “not be talking to the media ever again.” Tobin said he plans on meeting with Allen Brown and Huneycutt about the situation today, but has no plans on forcing Brown to retract his decision or to remove him as head coach. Allen Brown does not teach at THS. Editor Lisa Wall and Sports Editor Zach Kepley contributed to this story.

lies,” said Alfred Ripley, head of the NC Justice Center’s Consumer Action Network. “Across the state, people are struggling to stay in their homes.

session. The bill restricts certain unscrupulous practices, such as foreclosure rescue scams. More attention to the problem is needed, Ripley said. “We also need to create more affordable housing options through the Housing Trust Fund,” he said, “and continue to strengthen and pass

common-sense rules and regulations on mortgage lending and home foreclosure policies and procedures.” This is a national problem, as foreclosure rates across America ticked up 4 percent in July. Forecasters now believe rates might not peak until next year.
