State sees slight drop in jobless rate BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

North Carolina’s unemployment rate may have dropped below 10 percent for the first time in 18 months, but experts still worry that the state isn’t out of the woods quite yet. According to statistics released by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina on Friday, the state unemployment rate dipped to 9.8 percent in July, marking the lowest rate since last January. Total employment, however, decreased by 29,800 jobs as the

‘The number of people missing from the labor market is at an all-time high and the state continues to lose jobs.’ — Alexandra Forter Sirota N.C. Justice Center, Budget and Tax Center state’s labor force continues to shrink. “The decline in the unemployment rate is masking the reality in the labor market,” Alexandra Forter Sirota, a policy analyst with the North Carolina Justice Center’s Budget and Tax Center,

said. “The number of people missing from the labor market is at an all-time high and the state continues to lose jobs.” North Carolina’s labor force declined by 35,612 workers from June, which accounts for the decrease in the unemployment

rate, despite the loss of jobs. Since the start of the country’s recession in December 2007, Sirota said North Carolina’s labor force has declined nearly five times the national average. If more jobs are not created, the unemployment rate will inevitably go back up. Sirota added that the state’s job shortfall, or the number of jobs needed to keep pace with the growth in the working age population and replace lost jobs, grew in July to more than 425,000 jobs. “Without greater focus on pre-

Simulator keeps driving mistakes off the road BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Davidson County Community College began integrating its new, hightech driving simulator into classes this month, seeking to offer students and professionals alike enhanced road safety techniques. The computerized simulator, which the school purchased in June, will give law enforcement, firefighting, rescue, first response, and truck drivers the opportunity to practice and learn emergency driving skills without actually endangering themselves or others. “The instructors can design a scenario that puts the students in a situation that they might not normally see, that we can’t emulate in real life,” said Randy Ledford, associate dean of the DCCC School of Business, Engineering and Technical Studies. The simulator, valued at $320,000 and purchased

Free, reduced price lunch numbers on the rise BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

One of the By-products of the lingering national recession is the growing number of children across the state who receive free or reducedpriced meals. In Thomasville City Schools, 88.78 percent of all students received either free or reducedpriced meals during the 2008-09 school year, according to statistics from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Liberty Drive Elementary and Thomasvile Primary School had more than 96 percent of its students qualify, as 1,219 out of 1,267 students combined got reduced-priced or free meals. Across the state, more than half of all students in public schools are in the same boat. “Total enrollment in public schools in North Carolina is close to 1.5 million,” Lynn Harvey, section chief of Child Nutrition Services for the DPI, said. “So to think 770,000 qualify for free or reduced-priced lunches is a huge number. It’s sobering to see that.” DPI recently released the USDA policy on free and reduced-priced meals for children in public schools, and Brenda Watford, Child Nutrition Director for Thomasville City Schools, is making sure parents are getting their applications in time for the upcoming year. “We’ve got the applications at the home office and at the schools,” said Watford. “Parents are already filling them out, and they can come at any time. I’ll call the parents who were on the list last year to make sure they fill out their applications. We do anything we can to make sure our students are eating.” One of the changes

Dragonﬂy House to offer help to abused children BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

When it comes to children, parents rarely take shortcuts. So when Davie Domestic Violence Services and Rape Crisis Center in Mocksville — an agency working with adult victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse — noticed a gap in services for abused children, as well as the correlation between children who were abused and grow to become abusers, staff took action.

The idea for a Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) in Davidson and Davie Counties was born. “As parents ourselves, we saw the need to work directly with children and begin educating them and offering safe services and resources for the child victims, because if they aren’t helped now, then there is a strong possibility that this abusive pattern will be carried into their adult life,” said Brandi Reagan, coordinator for the Davie and Davidson Counties

CAC. Davie Domestic Violence Services and Rape Crisis Center wrote a grant from the Governor’s Crime Commission Victims of Crime Act and received an award to create a local CAC. The center, named The Dragonfly House Children’s Advocacy Center, will open Oct. 1. “There is a great need in this district for that because right now, all of the children have to go out of county to get services,” Reagan said, adding that the agency already has begun

helping a few Thomasville children. CAC, a child-friendly center that gathers a multi-disciplinary team of community professionals to help abused children and their families work through the healing process free of charge, was founded in 1993 in Cumberland County, N.C. Centers now span across the state’s 100 counties. The Dragonfly House, operating under the same system

A history lesson UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and off the top of their hat, comes a phrase we have heard over and over again? I sometimes find myself in conversations like that. I just wondered where the phrases came from? Well, I did some research and came up with some answers. Ever heard the phrase “Dog gone it?” Well, that phrase originated in the 1800s in England. At times, meat was hard to come-by, so folks would place the meat which they had on a kitchen table. Those days, no one closed and locked their doors, dogs would wander in the house, they would see delicious things on the table take a big hunk and run off with their prize. Thus, “Dog gone it!” became a phrase, and I bet you have heard it used! (To be perfectly honest, I have used this phrase before, when I got frustrated with something. Shame be on me.) The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house got clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then, the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone

in it. Hence the saying “Don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water!” Houses had thatched roofs, thick straw piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became very slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence, the saying, “It’s raining cats and dogs.” There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where the bugs and other critters could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came to exist. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. This is where the phrase, “Dirt Poor” came from. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would start slipping outside. A place of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Here is where we get a “Threshold.” (Getting quite an education , aren’t you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things in the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Guess what? Rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot, nine days old! Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, “Bring in the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with

guests and would sit back and “Chew the fat.” Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the “Upper crust.” Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. The family would take them for dead and get them ready for burial. They would be laid on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of “holding a wake.” In England, and other small towns around England at one time, the folks began to run out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to what was called a “bone house” and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been buring people alive. So, they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse,lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night, (The graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, “saved by the bell, or “a dead ringer,” phrase began, And that’s the truth! Whoever said history was boring?” Pray for the sick, pray for the men and women who so proudly serve our country with dignity and pride, and pray for peace and good will toward men! Have a great weekend, a great week, and give back to society, because we all have been blessed! Uncle Bill is over and out, “See ya’ soon!” Guest Columnist Bill Hill can be reached at billyunclebill@aol.com.

FROM PAGE A1 RISE From page A1 implemented this year to identify needy children is the sharing of information with the DPI. In an effort to relieve some of the administrative burden on households, Harvey said the DPI and its health and human services department are sharing data to identify children whose household receives federal food assistance or food stamps. Any student enrolled in public schools who comes from a household receiving federal food assistance is automatically certified to receive free meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel this program has helped us tremendously identify children early on so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lagtime in their being approved for free meals,â&#x20AC;? Harvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The child automatically qualifies for free meals so the household doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about submitting an application.â&#x20AC;? Harvey said there has been an increase over the past several years in children who qualify to receive free or reduced meals, especially in districts that have experienced huge job losses. There also has been a rise in the amount

of students who now receive free meals instead of reduced-priced meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen about a 10 percent increase since 2008,â&#x20AC;? said Harvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also seeing a trend where children who originally qualify for reduced meals are now switching to the category of free meals. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a decrease in household incomes.â&#x20AC;? Funds for such programs come from the federal government, as school districts are reimbursed with federal funds based on the number of meals they serve. Every time they serve a meal that qualifies for reimbursement, school systems are reimbursed a certain amount of money. Right now, that figure is $2.74 a meal in Thomasville for a child who qualifies for free or reduced-priced meals. According to the new USDA policy, a household of four with an annual income of $28,665 or less qualifies for free meals, compared to $22,050 for reduced-price meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed a little bit but no much according to income,â&#x20AC;? Watford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, if a family was eligible last year they will be again this year.â&#x20AC;? Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

as every other CAC, has the support and involvement of a variety of Davie and Davidson County agencies, including the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, law enforcement offices, mental health agencies, medical personnel and DSS from both counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout this process, none of these agencies work together,â&#x20AC;? Reagan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Child Advocacy does is it brings all the agencies that work with the child all at one time to do medical exams, do a forensic interview. That prevents the child from having to report the incident over and over again.â&#x20AC;? At The Dragonfly House, children undergo a medical exam, an interview and therapy if need be.

Reagan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to put them at ease. The involvement of all the agencies coming together to work in the best interest of the child and their families is really an amazing process.â&#x20AC;? And the center even takes the process one step further by following up on how the child is coping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When law enforcement is done with the case, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done with the child,â&#x20AC;? Reagan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the overall well-being of the child. The mission of the CAC is to reduce the devastating long-term effects that all forms of child abuse have on children,

their families and society through immediate, coordinated, child-focused services, education and advocacy.â&#x20AC;? But the center canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it alone. Although the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crime Commission Victims of Crime Act grant gives the center a good chunk of money, it requires the community to match at least 20 percent, leaving The Dragonfly House in need of donations such as cabinets, furniture or funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CACs are supposed to be grassroots organizations,â&#x20AC;? Reagan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really need the support of their community to sustain themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Camp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, no one gets hurt and no equipment gets damaged.â&#x20AC;?

With a majority of the job losses coming in local school districts, Sirota said recently passed education funding totaling $300 million for North

Carolina could help hundreds of educators who lost their job in July. Construction work has been the hardest hit by the recession as 32 percent of jobs have been lost, and 18.6 percent of all manufacturing jobs are gone. Workers who still have a job in manufacturing are working less, losing an estimated two weeks of work a year, Sirota reported. In July, the ESC paid out $138 million in unemployment benefits.

Republicans for religious freedom BY STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Ten years ago, Republicans in Congress passed a major law to protect the right of Muslims to establish mosques even where such a building might be unwelcome. Yes, they did. They just may not have thought of it quite that way at the time. The law, called the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), was aimed at a common problem often ignored by the courts: local government bodies using zoning authority to prevent religious institutions from moving in or expanding their operations. It had the support of such groups as the Christian Legal Society and the Family Research Council. Rep. Charles Canady, R-Fla., said it was aimed at “the well-documented and abusive treatment suffered by religious individuals and organizations in the land use context.” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, pushed it because, he said, “At the core of religious freedom is the ability for assemblies to gather and worship together.” Today, of course, that statute is a problem for anyone hoping that the city, state or federal government would take action to block an Islamic community center in lower Manhattan, commonly referred to as the Ground Zero mosque. Many of those opponents are happy to disregard both the law and the Constitution in their effort. Not all critics of the plan endorse government intervention. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani agreed the Cordoba Initiative has the right to build at that site if it chooses, while insisting that it should reconsider out of “sensitivity” -- a trait rarely associated with him. But other opponents are not so respectful of religious rights. Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that permitting the construction of the center would show “weakness and submission” to our enemies. Carl Paladino, who is running for governor of New York in the GOP primary, has vowed to seize the land. Pamela Geller, head of Stop Islamization of America, urged the city to give landmark status to the existing building to kill the proposal. Among the citizens who turned out to protest the building at the Landmarks Preservation Commission meeting, there was no visible deference to the religious liberty of Muslims. When the commission voted to

let the plan proceed, there were shouts of “Shame on you!” and “Disgrace!” But had the city used its landmarking power to kill the project, it would have faced a court challenge. And thanks to the 2000 law, it would probably lose. The law says, “No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person, including a religious assembly or institution,” unless it meets very strict conditions. Nor may any government inflict a regulation that discriminates “on the basis of religion or religious denomination.” Before this law, cities usually got away with such behavior, because zoning authority gives them broad discretion to hinder religious groups in the outwardly neutral guise of architectural preservation or traffic control. It wasn’t hard to discriminate without being obvious enough to get in trouble. In passing the measure, Congress sided with unpopular minority sects that often found themselves blocked at every turn by local governments. So even if the opposition to the Cordoba plan were cloaked as an impartial effort to preserve the character of the neighborhood, it would run smack up against this law. This case, though, is even simpler. Most of the time, when local authorities throw up roadblocks before unwanted religious groups, they do so in a way designed to conceal their real motive. Here, though, the critics object to the center precisely because it involves Muslims doing nothing more than practicing their religion. There is nothing covert or subtle about the opponents’ motives. To stop the building on the grounds that Islam has no place near Ground Zero would clearly defy the law’s ban on religious discrimination. That prohibition is a credit largely to conservatives who understood the dangers of putting religion at the mercy of government. The law was an effort by Republicans (and many Democrats) to protect the rights of believers -- especially despised minorities. The law recognized the importance of assuring the same freedom for them as for everyone else. That objective made sense 10 years ago, and it still does.

Put personal feelings aside VIEWPOINT

LISA WALL Editor High school football is a big deal in Thomasville. And rightfully so. With a total of eight state championship trophies in the Bulldogs’ trophy case, the program is hailed as a force to be reckoned with across North Carolina. Even outside its conference classification, the ‘Dogs have steamrolled formidable 3-A and 4-A contenders in non-conference matchups throughout the years. Each week, fans’ excitement grows as the Bulldogs prepare for their next opponent. Draped in black and red, they head to Cushwa Stadium or fields far away in anticipation of what will unfold under the Friday night lights. Players transform from ordinary teenagers to gridiron heroes with every tackle, catch, pass or touchdown as the crowd’s cheers elevate their spirits. With each win, the stands fill to capacity, the talk of heading to the state championship game once again permeates the airwaves in local diners and each edition of the local newspaper highlights the week’s action. Without a doubt, Thomasville is “Title Town.” And for every championship, in every sport, since the schools’ inception, the Thomasville Times has been there to record the journey to glory. Heralding their successes and sympathizing with their heartbreak, the Times has been there every step of the way. And the coverage of Thomasville City Schools hasn’t just extended to the athletic programs, but also to academics, health and wellness, nutrition, technology, testing results and graduation. In fact, I’d put the Times’ coverage of Thomasville

City Schools, athletics and otherwise, up against any newspaper’s coverage of a local high school in the nation. And that’s why news of coach Allen Brown’s rebuke of media this season isn’t just sports news, it’s front page news. Now, after decades of a healthy professional relationship, things have become personal. For school officials to stand behind Brown’s “no comment” policy, which is said to be based on how he feels the media treated his son, Benjie, after he was charged with assault of another TCS teacher in January, says they agree that the Liberty Drive Principal was somehow treated unfairly by the media. It’s puzzling that a school system, or anyone else, would think an assault charge being brought against the leader of one its schools — regardless of the circumstances or any moral justification — is not newsworthy. In defense of Allen Brown’s decision, Athletic Director Woody Huneycutt said, “It [the assault charge] was not as big a deal as some of the newspapers made it out to be.” I doubt any media outlet in the country would agree with such a statement. Admittedly, it’s admirable that coach Brown is a man who sticks by his family, but if he is unable to put aside his personal differences to do what is right by the team and the program as a whole, then perhaps it’s time to hand over the reins. And, if school officials are willing to stand behind one man’s personal grudge that will ultimately affect the publicity of students in a school program, they then, too, should take a long hard look at their ability to separate personal feelings from professional responsibility. Are the programs and successes of students in the school now secondary to the personal feelings of some of the school leaders? One would hope not. But if Allen Brown’s stand-off with the media is allowed to continue, that’s exactly the message being sent. In doing so, it sets a precedent for others in leadership positions in the community to avert accountability and responsibility within their professions

due to personal reasons. Suppose the Times staff took a similar stance to the school system and no longer covered any news relating to Thomasville City Schools. That would be considered biased journalism. And all that would be accomplished is further punishing the students and begetting a great disservice to the community. Personal differences should be set aside to do what is right by the team, the fans and the entire football program. While some may say that having a coach talk to the media after the game is no big deal, it defies the first and most fundamental rule of sports — good sportsmanship. Media outlets provide a public forum for opposing coaches to show their respect for the players, the fans, the programs and each other. Not doing so, says that Allen Brown’s personal feelings trump the hard work of all those who leave it all on the gridiron week after week. Just like head coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) said in the instant classic Remember the Titans: “I’ve never seen an assistant coach’s name in the paper for a loss.” And neither have I. If this were college or professional football, this wouldn’t be an issue. Those leagues have media policies requiring all coaches to be accessible to media, or fines are imposed. In high school football, those policies have always been unspoken. But, despite Brown’s or school officials’ final decision, the Times will continue to bring readers the best possible coverage of high school football and the school system, unimpeded by subjective opinions. In the event the Bulldogs’ path leads them all the way to the state championship this year, the Times will be there every step of the way, despite any roadblocks the school system presents. And years later, when people look back on the 2010 season to relive the memories documented in the local newspaper, only one thing will be missing — the coach.

Animals in heaven KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

Last week I took my cats to the vet. One needed his annual check-up and the other was scheduled for some surgery. The cat with the annual check-up did very well in the doctor’s office. He cooperated with the doctor and allowed her to perform some tests on him without getting upset. He came home and has done some hiding from me because I think he’s afraid we might have to go back. The other cat had surgery that required a couple of nights stay at the vet’s. When I went to check on her, she was doing great. All the ladies in the office said she was very friendly and well-behaved. We have discovered she is an extraverted cat since we adopted her, but being on her best behavior was a real stretch for us to believe. She likes to get into everything. She defi-

nitely has the curiosity that is attributed to cats. We thought she might be a little lethargic after she came home from the vet, but she wanted to get back to things as usual around here. Within a short period of time she was going about her normal routines and getting into her usual mischief. She doesn’t let anything slow her down. I guess it must be nice to be young and energetic. Our male cat is a laid-back senior cat. He takes things slow and he likes it quiet around the house. He is a little more introverted than our new cat, but he is very loving. We can only imagine how he must have felt when this new high-energy cat arrived at our house. We all noticed how quiet it was when she was gone for her surgery; it was almost a little too quiet. Most of my neighbors have pets; dogs and cats are pretty common around my neighborhood. To me a pet helps to make a house a home. Most of the time they will come to the door to greet you. It’s nice to think that they missed you. Pets recognize their owners and I believe that they love us. So how can anyone imagine heaven without animals? I realize that the Bible remains

relatively quiet on the subject of animals in heaven. But let’s begin with our beloved pets; can you imagine living in heaven and not having a pet at your home waiting to greet you when you arrived? I have had a number of cats in my life and I have known a number of good dogs. Heaven just wouldn’t be the same without them there. We have a large variety of wildlife around our house. We have skinks, butterflies, hummingbirds, squirrels, rabbits, turtles, and a large variety of songbirds that visit us on a regular basis. My wife and I (and our cats) love to watch all the creatures in the yard. I can’t imagine the beauty of heaven without thinking about all the different animals that will be there. There will probably be animals and creatures in heaven that we have never seen here on earth. All that said about animals, heaven would not be such a wonderful place if the people we know and love weren’t there with us. Reaching out to the lost, especially our loved ones, is so important from an eternal perspective. We can’t make the decision for them, but we can encourage them and live our lives in such a way that they want to

God’s video camera

go to heaven with us. I have met a number of Christians who do not have the joy, peace, and grace that makes their lives attractive. Sadly, some have never been touched by God’s love which accepts each one of us exactly as we are. God does not expect us to be perfect, He just wants us to love Him and accept His Son as our Savior. God’s love is greater than anything you can imagine and it has the power to change you and your destiny forever. I want to encourage you if you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior or discovered the depth of God’s love for you to open your heart to Him right now. You don’t have to wait until you get things right because you never will have everything right. All you have to do is tell Him that you love Him and that you want His Son to be your Savior. After that you will begin a journey where you will never be alone and your destiny will be in heaven with Him for all eternity. Doug Creamer teaches Marketing at East Davidson High School.

BY KENNY COKER Guest Columnist Proverbs 5:21 “For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He watches all his paths.” The book of Proverbs is a great book in the Bible to read every day. In our Discovery Class at our church (a class for new Christians) I always challenge the students to read a chapter of Proverbs every day for the rest of their lives. Because there are 31 days in most months, and there are 31 chapters of Proverbs, I challenge them to read the chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. It is a great book that teaches how to have wisdom from God in how one can avoid sin and escape the danger of wasting his/her life. Furthermore, the wisdom from God that Proverbs talks about teaches how one can live his/her life for the glory of God. The above verse from Proverbs 5 is a great verse of Scripture for every person, and to teach our children! This verse speaks of the omniscience (all knowing) and omnipresence (all presence) of God. There is nowhere we can go to escape His presence. There is nothing we can do to escape His notice! God knows all and sees all! Did you know that video cameras are everywhere now? There is hardly anywhere you and I go now days that we aren’t being filmed! It’s all being caught on camera — the parking lot of Wal-Mart, gas pumps, convenience stores, etc. Whatever you are doing, it is more than likely being caught on camera. The problem is that we are often not aware of it. Would we act any different if we were constantly aware that everything we do is caught on tape? More than that, would we act any different if we were constantly aware that everything we do is in the presence of God? Guess what? According to this verse, everything we do is caught on God’s tape!

everything we do, hears everything we say, and even knows our motives and thoughts! Furthermore, this verse is in the context of the sin of adultery (read the verses before). This is a sin that is committed in private and covered up. But God sees and knows! Can you imagine standing before God one day with all of your life shown on tape before you? The good news is that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became a man, and took upon Himself all the sins of the world. He died for all of them. He was judged in your place for them. If you will repent (be sorry and turn away from your sin) and turn to Him, and by faith receive Him into your life, He will forgive you of all that you have ever done, and present you faultless before the Father in Heaven. That is exactly what the Bible says in Jude verses 24-25, the “Him” speaking of Jesus: “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” Then, when we have given our life to Christ, what a great reminder this verse is, as we seek to live our lives for Him. May we live our lives in the fear of God, as the book of Proverbs teaches. This means not so much that we are afraid of Him, but that we reverence Him. May we always seek to please Him, obey Him, honor Him, and glorify Him in everything we do today and every day! We cannot do this in our strength. We are once again reminded that we must live our lives in absolute dependence upon Him, His strength and wisdom! Father, help us to live our lives in the continual awareness that we are always in Your presence! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Whenever a team has as many punts as first downs at halftime, the outlook for victory is pretty bleak. So was the case for East Davidson Friday night when the Golden Eagles hosted the Randleman Tigers in the 2010 season opener. Too little offense and not enough defense equaled one long night for EDHS at Eagles Stadium in a 26-0 defeat to a Randleman squad that featured a little bit of everything. Led by junior quarterback Kyle Farlow and senior tailback T.J. Simmons, the Tigers turned Friday night into a glorified scrimmage, breaking big plays on offense while shutting down the Eagles defensively. East managed just four first downs in the opening two quarters, matching its punt total. “We couldn’t stop the run and we couldn’t stop the pass,” East coach Bryan Lingerfelt said. “They have a good quarterback, good running back and good receivers, and we didn’t do a good job of stopping them. They executed well and we didn’t play as well as we needed to. They had a lot of good athletes.” Randleman had little trouble scoring on its opening possession of the new season, driving 56 yards in eight plays. Farlow found Simmons open across the middle from 11 yards out for an easy touchdown and a 60 Tigers lead with 9:21 to go in the first quarter.

East’s Storm Stidham tackles Randleman runner Justin Freeman Friday night. Simmons added another clip to his first quarter highlight reel on RHS’ second possession, taking a toss at the Tiger’s 12-yard line around the left side that turned into an 88-yard touchdown gallop. East had the senior bottled up at the line of scrimmage but Simmons shrugged one tackle, juked a defender and headed for open field, out-running the Eagles secondary to the end zone. Randleman appeared on the verge of

putting East away early, but Simmons fumbled at the goal line with 6:53 left before halftime, delaying the inevitable. “We’ve got a lot of young kids,” said Lingerfelt. “We had some guys mess up. The key to our game was we had to move the chains and not make any mistakes. We just weren’t able to do that.” With the running game firmly established, RHS took to the air. Farlow connected on consecutive passes midway through

the second quarter, chewing up 58 yards, culminated by a 24-yard fade to Chase Causey in the far corner of the end zone for a 19-0 Tigers lead. EDHS had a chance to get on the board late in the third quarter but quarterback Taylor Warren fumbled short of the end zone and Nick Cooper recovered for RHS. “We were happy with the balance offensively,” Tigers coach Shane Handy said. “Defensively, we played well. East found

a few spots and we’ll go back and look at that.” Randleman outgained the Golden Eagles 299-62 in total yards during the first half of play, with Simmons rushing for 151 yards on 12 carries. Farlow went 7-for-10 for 151 yards and three scores in the contest. Jeremy Taylor caught three balls for 72 yards, including a 20-yard scoring grab with 10:13 left in the fourth quarter. Warren led the Eagles with 45 yards rushing.

A playmaker like Ledford tailback Dee Greene can only be contained for so long. After the yards were tough to come by in the first half, the speedy junior saw plenty of green in the second half, ripping off three big touchdown runs to lift Ledford to a 29-7 win over Trinity Friday night at the Pit. Greene finished the evening with 250 yards rushing and four touchdowns. “It started rough, but the O-line started blocking pretty good and it opened up,” said Greene. “I just saw grass and was heading for the touchdown.” The night was made even better for the Ledford family, as head coach Chris Adams claimed victory in his debut. “I am happy for the kids and the coaches,” said Adams. “The key to success is surrounding yourself with good people, and I have done that.” Tied 7-7 at intermission,

The PAT by Tyreke Crump was blocked. Ledford’s defense flustered Trinity’s offense for much of the second half, wearing down a Bulldog team that carries just 25 players.

Scoring 31 points in volleyball is enough to win a set, but when it is the total number scored for the entire match, there is a lot of work to be done. East Davidson head coach Kim Warrick, watched her Lady Golden Eagles struggle mightily against Randleman, losing 25-8, 2514, 25-9 on Thursday in the season opener. She had a pretty good idea coming in that it would be a learning process early on in the season, so she just took the loss in stride and let her team know they have plenty of time to correct the mistakes. “I have nine seniors, but I knew this was going to be a group where I would have to find a starting six,” said Warrick. “Our communication was not good tonight. We looked like we were all over the place, but I expected that being our very first game. I am not disappointed. We have room to work and these girls work hard, so they will come into practice next time and be ready.” East made several unforced errors for the night, but the Tigers were aggressive at the net and kept the Golden Eagles back-pedaling. Randleman looked to be in midseason form, passing efficiently and finishing above the net. About the only thing they did wrong was serve six consecutive balls in the net. East’s best chance to take a game came in

SPORTS

At least I didn’t shoot my foot OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist Doing some things well requires a certain amount of what I call maintenance. If you play the guitar and you don’t pick it up for five years, you might have a little trouble should you decide to play for a large audience. Even if you were pretty good at it, you still get rusty. Last week, I demonstrated to myself that very thing, though I already knew it perfectly well. I was assigned to cover the National High Power Rifle Any Sight, Tactical Championship. That’s a long name for a rifle match but one must remember that the match involves 240 shots from four different positions and lasts four days. This is a big match. It was the first ever Any Sight, Tactical match to ever be held at the National High Power Rifle Matches. It was held concurrently with the regular Match Rifle and Service Rifle Championships. I asked for the assignment because I was planning to be at Camp Perry anyway to shoot the Springfield M1A Match. During my years of competing in High Power, I shot the M1A/ M14 rifles almost exclusively. I practiced one time with my borrowed rifle, the first time in five years, loaded up my moldy shooting gear, and headed for Camp Perry. When I arrived at Camp Perry, I found out that my entry in the Springfield M1A match was not an entry at all and my online sign up had done nothing. This was a minor problem since the Stat office signed me up and got me a target number and relay. The real problem was that no one had registered to shoot the Any Site match I was there to cover. There was a match but no competitors; therefore, I had no story. I called my editor and asked if she wanted me to shoot the match and report on it as the only

competitor. She said yes, so I signed up. Now all I had to do was get a gun I could use in the Any Sight match and I’d be set to shoot both events. I’d shot really well when I practiced with my borrowed M1A. In fact, my practice score would have won the match last year. True, they’d had bad weather last year, but my practice score would have been in the top five this year. The problem was I shot my practice on a 200 yard range with reduced targets and therefore, I didn’t have a real zero for the 300 yard targets in the match. I, considering myself still an exceptional rifleman, thought this would be no problem; I’d done well before without a firm zero and I thought I still could. I was wrong. I adjusted the sights the wrong way on my prone rapid fire string and effectively took myself out of the match within the first half hour. The rest of the day was spent mentally kicking myself for thinking I could just come out of retirement and shine. Once the match was over, I applied myself to the problem of getting a rifle and scope to shoot in the Any Sight match only one day away. Had this been an established match, I could have borrowed a rifle with rough zeros from a half dozen folks I knew from my old days. It wasn’t that kind of match and I knew I’d have to put a rifle/scope combination together and I now had 36 hours before the first shot of the championship went downrange. After exhausting all possible solutions, I gave up to the fact that I’d have to drive home and get a scope and rifle to shoot the match. I drove the 550 miles home on Sunday night after the Springfield M1A match/humiliation and, after picking up my rifle, ammunition, and scope, drove back on Monday. At about 7:30 p.m., I had everything I needed I needed to shoot the match. Things went fairly well for the first 44 shots. Remember that I’d installed the scope and didn’t zero the rifle so I had to zero the rifle from a standing position at 200 yards. I got the gun shooting in the 10 ring by the fifth shot and the rest of the string went OK. I was a little stressed by having to zero while the shots counted in a

without moving. I failed to realize I could back the variable scope down and, not being able to see the number board in the scope at the same time as the target, I crossfired, a term for shooting the wrong target. At 300 yards, rapid fire,

National Championship but I made myself feel better by reminding myself that, since I was the only competitor, I was assured to win no matter how badly I shot. In sitting rapid fire, I did quite well with a 196 out of a possible 200. Not a bad score but I knew I was in trouble. In the sitting position, your head moves closer to the front of the rifle and I was having trouble because I was getting too close to the scope. This proved disastrous in prone rapid fire at 300 yards. I shot each 10 shot string pushing the gun away from me instead of pulling it into my shoulder. Not good but at least the day was over and I could regroup. After the day’s shooting, I ran into an old friend at the window of the Stat office who, as it turns out, was also shooting the Any Sight match but his entry had been mixed up. The bad news was that I was now likely down to second place but the good news was he had an upper assembly to fit my rifle with a scope mounted far enough forward that I could shoot in a normal position. I swapped uppers that night in the condo, undaunted that I’d have to adjust my zero the next day but I, at least, had some idea of where to start. The next morning, I realized I had another problem since his upper assembly had a very heavy barrel and my lower had a very light stock. Most match rifles have a weighted stock to stabilize the gun and mine didn’t. Shooting the gun offhand was like trying to hold a pig in a shovel at arm’s reach

Wishing You A Healthy School Year

B4 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, August 21, 2010

SPORTS Champs to be crowned Saturday at BG BG REPORT It all comes down to this Saturday night at Bowman Gray Stadium. Only 150 laps are left until the 2010 champion for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series is crowned. For this first time ever: the season-ending Carolina Farm Credit 150 will utilize the infamous double-file restart rule. In addition to each race being worth double the normal points, now Modified contenders will have plenty of opportunities to challenge from the outside row. If there’s one thing Stadium fans know, it’s that anything can happen on that final night. What are the chances of Burt Myers of Walnut Cove claiming his fourth championship? Will Brian Loftin of Lexington come from behind to take over the title for himself ? What’s going on with defending champion Tim Brown? Will Junior Miller of Danbury or Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem put the damper on Burt Myers’ championship hopes as they fight for the final checkered flag of the season? Brian Loftin trails Burt Myers by 56 points, so Loftin would need to finish 15 positions ahead of Myers to claim the title on Saturday. Lee Jeffreys of Winston-Salem sits in third in the points, 15 points behind Loftin. In the Webb Heating

LEDFORD From page B1 Each time the defense got the ball back, the offense worked quickly to put the game out of reach. A 32-yard field goal by Crump with 3:32 showing in the third quarter made it 16-7, and a quick series by Trinity would lead to more Panther points moments later. This time around, Greene jaunted down the field for a 57-yard touchdown, putting the guests up 22-7. Greene finished his final run of the night off in style the very next series, rushing it in from 27 yards away, giving LHS an insurmountable 29-7 advantage. “He doesn’t have a clue how good he can be, but he is going to find out,” Adams said. Ledford as a whole showed they have the potential to be really good. “We have plenty of work to do, but I want them to enjoy this and hopefully we can come out and be even better next week,” Adams said. Both teams came bearing gifts late in the first half of a scoreless game. Trinity was the first recipient of a gift from Ledford, taking advantage of a botched snap on a punt attempt that sailed over Greene’s head. Trinity took over at the LHS 35, needing just three plays to score. Quarterback Rhyne Kivett hit Jake Smith in the corner of the end zone on a lofted pass, sending Trinity on top 7-0. With 1:07 remaining in the first half, Greene took the ensuing kickoff from his own 10 out to the 50. One player later is when the Bulldogs returned the favor, sending a much smaller gift, but equally as damaging one.

& A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Kyle Edwards of King sits on top of the points ladder with brother Barry Edwards of Pinnacle in second, only 34 points behind Kyle. Ryan Robertson of WinstonSalem enters this Saturday with a third place ranking in the points standings, currently five points behind Barry Edwards. Matt Cotner of Rural Hall had good luck on Saturday in the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series, while many of his points challengers ran into misfortune. Billy Gregg of Winston-Salem , Reggie Doub of Germanton, and John McNeal of Winston-Salem were each involved in separate wrecks on Saturday, hurting them severely in the points battle. Meanwhile, Cotner finished third. Cotner leads the points with Gregg in second, 72 points behind Cotner. Doub drops to fifth, McNeal drops to sixth, and Zack Clifton of Walkertown moves up to third in the points as a result of their bad luck. In the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, Jason Keaton of Mocksville leads the way in the points, with defending champion Dale Barneycastle of Mocksville ranked second. Barneycastle is a mere 22 points behind Keaton, with Jimmy Absher of Rural Hall in third, only six points behind Barneycastle.

START From page B1 the second set, when they trailed by a 16-11 score and had some momentum brewing. With ball in hand, the Golden Eagles had a shot at

snatching another point with a kill, but were whistled for being in the net. Two more errors quickly made it 19-11, and the Tigers went on to take a 2-0 lead. The frustration mounted for the Golden Eagles in what turned out to be the third and final game.

WIZARD OF ID

Randleman took the first nine points, then turned the ball back over to East for a lone point on a rare miscue. The Tigers then took eight straight points to lead 17-1, breezing to the 25-9 win. Warrick was pleased by the play of Kelsey Long and Ashley Swaim, and

hopes when East takes the floor this weekend for the Davidson County Tournament, the results will be significantly better. “They are a scrappy bunch and they want to win — we just have to put it together,” Warrick said.

BY PARKER AND HART

Quarterback Duke Boger was stopped for no gain, but a horse-collar penalty against Trinity gave LHS the ball at the 35 of Trinity. Two pass plays from Boger to Deyonta Dow brought the football to the 3, and Greene plunged in from there with six seconds left to tie the score at 7-7. A - High Point/Archdale/Guilford Co.

SHOOT From page B2 I couldn’t get the magazine to stay in the gun. Every time I put it in, it fell back out. I finally got it to stay and got off four of the ten shots in the 70 second time limit. We were rained off the range and I was relieved. I didn’t know how much more of this fun that I’d be able to stand. At the end of the day, I found out there were now five people shooting the Any Sight Championship. Now I had people to write about but I was likely now to slide to fifth place. The next day went fairly well until I got to the 600 yard line. On my first shot, the target came up a miss. Since I’d already made almost every mistake in the book, I assumed I’d cross-fired again so I tried another shot. You get two sighters, though and so far, my misses didn’t count. Finally, I figured out that, like a rookie, I’d turned the windage knob the wrong way without realizing it. I turned the windage knob one whole revolution, put what I thought I needed to compensate for the wind and shot a 98 out of a 100. OK; so I can still shoot, sometimes… I just can’t deal with the things you have to deal with when you shoot. Still, I finished fifth in the National Any Sight, Tactical Rifle Championship. Yes, it was fifth out of five shooters. I guess I’m just not as good now as I tell people I once was. Dick Jones is a freelance writer living in High Point.

Check kids for head lice before sending off to school TIMES STAFF REPORT Head lice, or pediculosis, are small wingless insects that feed off the blood of humans. They live on the scalp, hiding in the hair, and contrary to popular belief, they do not jump, hop or fly. They have claws specially designed to grasp the hair. They vary in color from clear to brown to almost black depending on their age and they are the size of a sesame seed. Adult head lice live for 30 days and the females have the ability to lay at least 100 eggs (nits) in that time. Head lice are found mostly on children because of the close contact that children have with each other and the close settings where children spend most of their time, such as school, day care, slumber parties and camp. Lice can cause intense itching, scratching of the scalp, red bumps on the scalp, and even infection from the constant scratching. When looking at a child’s head for lice, louse may not even be seen, but small white dots (the nits) attached to the hair shaft (in very blonde hair, the nits appear darker in color) may be visible. The female lays eggs and attaches them to the hair using special glue. This is why they are so difficult to remove. The nits may look like dandruff, but do not flake or move like dried skin would. The single most successful way to rid your child and family of lice is to remove each and every nit and check the hair repeatedly to make sure no nits were missed. There are over-the-counter products that claim to kill the lice and their nits, but resistance is seen in killing the lice and no product is known to rid the hair of the nits. All three school systems in Davidson County have No-nit policies. This means that children cannot attend school as long as they have lice or nits. Removing all the nits is a long and tedious process, but it can be accomplished with patience and persistence. Many people find that using a fine-toothed comb (sold in stores or come with lice products) help to remove the nits. Many people prefer to use their fingers to remove each nit, making sure that they are not thrown on the floor. If left on the floor or on furniture, they can hatch and live for 1-2 days before finding a scalp to feed on. When using over-thecounter or prescription products to eliminate lice, follow the directions closely. Remember, these are insecticides and can be poisonous if used improperly. There are many sites on the Internet that give more detailed information on head lice, such as www.headlice.org and w w w. k i d s h e a l t h . c o m , just to name a few. Ccontact the Davidson County Health Department for additional information regarding head lice and treatment. School nurses will also have information available for eliminating head lice.
