Kate takes turn for the worse

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer On one of her good days, 5year-old Kate Thornton looks like a real life princess, straight from a Disney movie. Her big blue eyes, straight brown hair and caring smile is enough to touch even the deepest chambers of the human heart.

Kate’s bad days, however, are spent in a hospital bed, tied to tubes amidst a battery of tests as doctors try to treat her acute lymphocytic leukemia, first diagnosed when she was only three. It’s hard to imagine any-

one standing up to the trials and tribulations associated with fighting such a deadly disease, but Kate managed to do just that for nearly half her life.

Needing a miracle, Kate seemingly got one earlier this year when her brother, Jared, turned out to be a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant. Up until a few weeks ago, everything was normal, as Kate’s body appeared to be accepting Jared’s bone marrow, bringing welcome news to the Thornton family. All that changed recently when doctors found Kate’s cancer had returned and the prognosis is not

good. “[Jared’s bone marrow] was a perfect match, but for some reason, her body rejected it,” Jerry Williamson, Kate’s grandfather, said. “Her little body just can’t take any more as far as radiation and chemo. They figure she probably has two weeks, maybe three. She’s coming home Friday and hospice will be involved. Up until last Wednesday, we were looking forward to her being in remission. But they did a bone marrow aspiration and found that her white blood cell count

Family fair promotes health

Commissioners approve school sewer line project

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer A little of The Amazing Race fever has come to Thomasville.

The Family Fit And Fun Fair will feature a team scavenger hunt this year, in addition to the usual live entertainment, activities and health information.

In its fourth year, the event will take place Saturday at PACE Park in Thomasville from 4 to 8 p.m. Organization booths will distribute information on health and wellness in the midst of a festival-like atmosphere. Admission is free with the donation of canned food.

“The fundamental theme of it is to get information out there about the dangers of drugs and alcohol and also all kinds of wellness, what all is involved in living a healthy, happy lifestyle,” said Billy Freeman, director of Thomasville Parks and Recreation, an organizer of the event.

A variety of community agencies will be on hand to inform parents and children alike on a wide range of health issues. Hospitals will

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved the extension of sewer lines to StonerThomas School and the Davidson County Administrative Offices using funds left over from other sewer projects at its meeting Tuesday.

Project costs for the Extended Day School and the Churchland Elementary School sewer lines – part of the county’s order to bring each school onto the sewer system – came under budget by $500,000 and $400,000, respectively.

While change orders are still possible for the projects, the most likely case being the discovery of more rock than was originally thought and budgeted for, county staff and commissioners thought that the $900,000 excess was more than enough buffer for the $147,875 estimated construction cost to bring sewer to Stoner-Thomas and the county offices

TPD requiring solicitors to purchase a permit

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Thomasville Police Department is now requiring anybody going door-to-door to solicit money or provide a service to acquire a permit in order to do so.

A new ordinance enacted by Thomasville City Council makes it unlawful for any person to go door-to-door on public streets or private property for the purpose of soliciting or canvassing without authorized identification. The ordinance is intended to help ward off scam artists who may or may not be who they say they are.

“If you go door-to-door with the purpose of soliciting money or providing a service you

must have a solicitor’s permit,” Maj. James Mills said. “The whole thing is designed to protect citizens from being scammed, especially the elderly.”

Landscapers and individuals wanting to sell items such as home alarm systems or vinyl windows fall under the ordinance, but organizations like churches or Girl Scouts selling cookies do not. Any individual who comes to a homeowner’s door with the intent to solicit money or offer a service must have a photograph identification on their person.

“You must be issued a permit which is a photo ID that you have to present to any homeowner,” said City Manager Kelly Craver.

“It’s something that has been on the books

for a long time but we beefed up the ordinance in recent months. It didn’t have a lot of teeth in it before and didn’t require the badge.”

In order to obtain a permit, an individual has to go to the Clerk of Courts Office in Lexington and have a background check done for $25. The person must then come back to TPD with the background check, get fingerprinted and fill out an in-house application, providing some basic information.

There is a 10-day waiting period upon which a photo ID will provided. The fingerprinting cost $10 and the ID is $5, raising the final total for the permit to $40. The permit is good

VIEWPOINT

ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thornton family needs a helping hand The past several weeks have left me questioning why I decided to become a journalist. Reporting the news, both good and bad, is something I once felt was important, and in doing so gave me a lot of fulfillment at the end of the day.

Lately, however, I have found myself wondering why? It’s definitely not for the money, as any reporter would know.

It’s not for the glamor, as there is none. So, at 37, I have been feeling like I made the wrong career choice and am only a sentence or two away from being right back at Square One. I have been thinking a lot about why God has put me here, at the Thomasville Times, at this point in my life, wondering if there is a higher calling out there that is directing me in a way that is not so clear right now.

All that changed Wednesday morning.

I know now why I am here, at this particular time, and why God has given me the ability to write articles for a newspaper. For the past two years, our paper has published several stories about the struggles of one beautiful little girl named Kate Thornton, who has spent half of her short life battling leukemia.

A couple of months ago, Kate’s diagnosis

Responsibility Revolution through community TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist Looking further down the blueprint for revolutionizing responsible businesses, you’ll spot one called: Not a Company, But a Community.

As touchy-feely as that sounds, I was curious as to whether any organization larger than a soda shop could pull that off. The example of Southwest Airlines caught my attention…

Longtime CEO Herb Kelleher was a poster child for edgy employee empowerment. You can read about his philosophy and outrageous style in The Responsibility REVOLUTION, Hollender and Breen (JosseyBass, 2010). By putting people on par with customers and stockholders, he built a tenacious and resilient workforce that served him well through tough times. “When you treat your people right, they will treat your customers right”, Kelleher once told Fortune. Fortune has called him perhaps the best CEO in America.

Gary Kelly, Kelleher’s successor, vowed to continue the employee-friendly tradition with these words spoken in 2008: “The awesome task before us is to ensure the continued prosperity of Southwest Airlines -- one of the greatest success stories in American business,” Kelly said.

“We all pledge to continue to keep the LUV alive and the Warrior Spirit strong that Herb and Colleen inspire in all 34,000 Southwest Employees.”

Moving into 2009, the Dallas Morning News reported that the airline added four new airports – New York LaGuardia, Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Milwaukee – despite shrinking its capacity 5 percent.

Kelly called 2009 a “very, very gratifying year” because Southwest was able to take care of its employees and customers and boost its liquidity during a financial crisis. “I was very concerned a year ago that we might need to seek pay cuts or cuts in benefits. We did not do that,” he said.

“In fact, instead we were able to offer virtually every single Southwest employee a raise – a modest raise. But nonetheless, in an environment like that, to be able to even talk about a raise I thought was pretty extraordinary,” he said.

Indeed.

Speaking to the Wings Club in New York City, Kelly predicted that the economy will grow about 3 percent in 2010 and that business traffic demand will grow at a similarly modest pace.

“We have very cautious expansion plans for 2010 accordingly,” he said.

Note use of the word ‘expansion’. This word, even preceded by “cautious”, beats the ‘downsizing’ word every time.

A visit to their 2010 website showcases a vintage 22 year old mission statement: The mission of

Southwest Airlines is dedication to the highest quality of Customer Service delivered with a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual pride, and Company Spirit.

So far so good. But the next few lines represent a clear departure from most mission statements I research and review. Check out the pledge to employees: To Our Employees We are committed to provide our Employees a stable work environment with equal opportunity for learning and personal growth.

Creativity and innovation are encouraged for improving the effectiveness of Southwest Airlines. Above all, Employees will be provided the same concern, respect, and caring attitude within the organization that they are expected to share externally with every Southwest Customer.

Does this sound like a responsibility revolution through corporate community? For those who find autonomy, creativity, and personal growth to be their strongest values, it might be a stairway to heaven.

FROM PAGE 1 KATE From page 1 had dropped from 600 to below 100.

When [the disease] came back, it came back viciously.”

Family members are still trying to process the news. Kat Manzella, Kate’s godmother, said doctors thought almost all the cancer was gone and that the bone marrow was starting to reproduce itself, a sign the transplant succeeded.

Apparently, the cancer morphed itself to adapt to Jared’s blood and attacked it, leaving the family in shock.

“We’re speechless,” said Manzella.

“This is not what we expected. We all had such hopes and dreams, and I still haven’t given up hope for my miracle.

[The disease] just got more progressive.

It’s unbelievable for something to happen so quickly. Basically, her little body has been through so much that they just can’t see putting her through anything else. If they do that, she’ll most likely die in the hospital.”

Kate will come home Friday where Manzella said hospice nurses will try to kill some of the cancer long enough to help her be comfortable without having to heavily medicate her with narcotics that will basically put her in a comatose state.

“They’re trying to keep the cancer at bay so she can at least enjoy what’s left,” Manzella said.

When Kate comes home from Brenner’s Children’s Hospital Friday, it will not be to her house in Thomasville. Kate will be staying at her grandmother’s home with her mother, Susan, while her father and four siblings live in the family’s home where little Kate used to sleep on the couch.

The family home is too small to support Kate’s needs and her situation attracted the attention of the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition last year. While the Thornton’s did not appear on the show, family and friends promised the family they would make their dream come true one way or the other.

“We told them we would do it and this was a string of hope for them,” said Manzella. “We can’t just leave them hanging. It’s not like

they asked for it. We have no time but we have to move forward. We had to change gears and change quickly.”

With time seemingly running out, Manzella said the plan has shifted from building the Thornton’s a house to buying them one that is ready to be moved into. Manzella said she found a house in the Ledford community that is perfect for the Thorntons, and friends and family members are frantically trying to raise enough money so a bank will approve a home loan.

“We are pressed for time,” Manzella said. “I’ve talked to the builder and they are open to the idea of us taking early possession of the house if we can get up enough money to show a bank that we can do this. If we can find a bank that believes in this project, Windsor Homes says we can move in.

We have people who are ready to storm this place and get them moved in.”

Monetary donations are being accepted at High Point Bank and online at www.Kisses4Kate.org. The website is an umbrella project of Carolina Cancer Services (CCS) and all donations are tax deductible. The Thornton family plans on keeping the site active regardless of what happens in the immediate future and wants Kisses4Kate. org to be a constant reminder of the struggles so many kids with cancer go through every day.

“If Kate passes, this will go on and help other children who are in this situation,” said Manzella. “We want this to be Kate’s legacy and her contribution to society so people remember the Kate that this community has loved so much.”

CCS also is selling pink wrist arm bands that say “Kisses For Kate” for $5 and all proceeds will go to the Thornton family.

“CCS is helping and supporting their efforts to raise awareness about this situation,” Caron Myers, executive director with CCS, said. “There are many, many children out there just like Kate, and she is fortunate enough to have a group of friends who are trying to make her life as comfortable as possible. Even if it’s for a short time.”

Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

PERMIT From page 1 for 90 days.

“What we’re asking citizens to do is use discretion,” Mills said.

“What this permit does is if we get a call, we can clear them faster to go door-to-door. It allows citizens to know they have already been cleared by the police department.”

Mills said that TPD has seen a number of individuals come to Thomasville recently wanting money for a Hurricane Katrina relief fund.

When those individuals were told they needed a background check, Mills said he never heard from them again.

“My personal opinion is if they’re not willing to do simple background check than we don’t want them,” said Mills.

“We occasionally get complaints about individuals who come from out of town and want to sell magazine subscriptions or groups come in and drop college kids off to sell vacuum cleaners, you name it.”

Craver said City Hall has received recent complaints regarding a wellgroomed young man who was going around town telling people he had an internship overseas and needed to raise money to pay for it by selling books.

FROM PAGE 1 HAND From page 1 seemed to be improving, as her brother was a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant.

Finally, it appeared little Kate was getting the break she finally needed to live a healthy, happy, normal life that so many of us take for granted every single day.

Yesterday, I found out that Kate’s body rejected the bone marrow and her prognosis is not good. Family members told me Kate has weeks left, and she will be receiving hospice care to make whatever time she has comfortable.

The news was devastating. Talking to her family was extremely difficult, and feeling their pain through the telephone struck me right through my heart.

I couldn’t help but think of my little girl, Jasper, and how much we all love her so very much.

Her smile brightens my every day and just the

BOARD From page 1 building.

An additional engineering cost will also be added to the construction estimate. County Manager Robert Hyatt says that while that number is unclear at this time, it won’t bring the total project cost close to the amount of leftover funds. Triangle Grading and Paving, the company used for the Extended Day project, provided the estimate. “We previously heard form the Davidson County Board of Education their interest in the sewer line extension to Stoner-Thomas and the school administration building,� Hyatt said. “They have concerns with their existing septic systems.�

Davidson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Fred Mock had told county staff that both the Stoner-Thomas building and the administrative building used old septic tank systems. Mock said he wasn’t sure how long the systems would hold up.

At the time, commissioners chose to hold off on any decision about an extension, waiting to see if the Extended Day and Churchland Elementary projects came in under budget. “Previously when we had discussed this, there was a desire to wait until the bids came in to look at this,� Hyatt said. “The bids are in. We think we’re good with that, and we’d like to more

thought of anything bad happening to her scares me to death. For that reason alone, I have to do something that will help the Thornton family cope with this terrible situation in whatever way possible.

Being in the position to reach so many people, I realize that there is a reason for me being here, now, at the Thomasville Times. I am calling on the entire city of Thomasville to reach out and help this family. In the four years I’ve been here, I have seen this city do great things, and I know its citizens are capable of doing one more. When needed, Chair City citizens have always done the right thing and I know, deep down in my heart, that you all will come through again and help a family that so desperately needs it.

Kate is coming home Friday, but she will not get to be with her immediate family. Her home is too small and ill-equipped to support her many needs. She

will be staying at her grandmother’s house with her mother, Susan, for what appears to the be the rest of her days. Kate’s father and siblings will be apart from her during this time, and that just isn’t good enough for me.

I’m sure it’s not good enough for all of you.

A group of Kate’s family and friends are frantically trying to get the Thornton family into a new house, and they are running out of time. They need your support in helping this family be together.

They need money and they need it now.

I am asking everybody and every organization to help, from local banks to City Hall. Whatever it takes, Thomasville.

We need to make this happen. Everyone reading this needs to put themselves in the Thornton family’s shoes and realize this is about being caring, loving neighbors and doing whatever is possible to extend a helping hand.

Kate Thornton didn’t

forward.�

The board approved the extension to the two schools unanimously, but declined to extend sewer lines to the Interstate-85 and U.S. 64 Interchange, an extension suggested to spur commercial and retail development in that area.

Triangle Grading and Paving estimated construction cost for the I85 sewer line project at $429,900, plus engineering fees. Cost for the I-85 sewer line and the extension to the two schools would have totaled $716,553. “I think it’s a good time to extend to Stoner-Thomas and the administrative offices,� said Commissioner Sam Watford. “As far as the private property out to the highway, until we get more participation from the property owners, I can’t see spending that money now. I’d like to see some direct benefits.�

In other news, the board also: • Approved the Rural Operating Assistance Program Grant application • Approved the appointment of Dale Moorefield, director of Davidson County Social Services, to a two-year term on the Davidson County Planning Committee for Services to the Elderly. • Approved the appointment of Brenda Metzler, manager of Mt. Moriah and Kidron Corner Senior Housing of Lexington, to a two-year term on the Davidson County Planning Committee for Services to the Elderly. • Approved the reappointment of Ann Corn

to a three-year term on the Davidson County Senior Services Advisory Board. • Approved the appointment of Linda Randolph to serve on the Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee. • Set a public hearing for Sept. 14 on economic development Project Lynx.

ask to get leukemia. Her family didn’t ask for it, either. I am asking all of you to give, whatever it is. A dollar, $500, it doesn’t matter, just give something. This little girl has been an inspiration to so many like her, and her strength and perseverance is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen.

Please, Thomasville, please help the Thornton family. Her family is accepting donations at High Point Bank and through the website www.Kisses4Kate. org. Carolina Cancer

Services is selling arm bands for $5 to help the family pay for Kate’s medical bills. People are standing by, waiting to put this family under one roof. All they need is a little help.

Whether it’s money, furniture, anything, please take a long look at how you can help.

I believe in you, Thomasville. I know you will do the right thing. If Kate has taught me anything, it’s the power of the human spirit. That spirit is alive in the Chair City, and it’s time to show a

neighboring family just how strong it truly is.

For the record, I still firmly believe that God has put me here to write about a miracle.

I expect to be writing a story very soon about how a 5-year-old girl defied all the odds and beat a disease when no one thought she could.

I’m not giving up hope because I know Kate and the rest of her family isn’t either.

Leaving home VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist For the past two weeks, I’ve been traveling across the country interviewing law students who have applied for jobs at my law firm. I talk to young people from New York who want to be in California, and to young people from California who want to be in New York. Some days, it seems like the only constant is that (almost) no one wants to be where they’re from — and where their family is.

When I was applying to college, my mother told me I could apply to any school within the Boston subway map. I stayed inside that circle for college and law school and, but for a few quick interludes in Washington, until I was pregnant with my daughter, 20 years ago.

Since then, I’ve lived three thousand miles away from those familiar subways, in a city that is now my home.

When I ask the young people from California why they want to go to New York, and the ones from the east why they’re determined to go west, I hear what you’d expect: new challenges, different weather, boyfriends, girlfriends, to make a name...

They laugh when I say, “But your poor mother.” Occasionally, they suggest that their mothers should move, but most aren’t serious about it.

Moving is easy, exciting, an adventure — when you’re young. Later, not so much. I love Massachusetts, my old home. Sometimes, late at night, I even study the real estate ads in my old hometown. But it’s not even a fantasy. My parents are both gone. The world I left doesn’t exist anymore.

Neither does the person I was.

The young people I talk to aren’t just crisscrossing the country. Many have spent

extended periods on the other side of the world. They expect to live many places in their lives, to hop on planes to live in places I won’t ever see.

But what about your mother, I ask. They laugh.

I spend a lot of time thinking about this business of letting go — letting go of the children God gives to us for such a brief time before they go off on their own; letting go of old homes, old friends, old places and old dreams. From these students’ perspective, it’s all about more — new and different, bigger and better.

From mine, it sometimes seems like just the opposite.

I am less ambitious than I used to be. What I seek is not more, but grace. Not power, but serenity. Not the ability to hold on to what I cannot hold, but the peace to enjoy what I have and hold back the tears of loss.

I remember doing these same interviews as a student, certain that I knew where I was going and what I wanted; determined to get there faster, better, stronger; trying to persuade the old person on the other side of the desk that I was smarter and tougher and surer than the person who came before me and the one who would come after; certain that happiness was just a “callback” or an “offer” away.

Sometimes, these days, I want to reach across the table and tell them not to worry so much, not to give us power we really don’t have, not to care so much about what we think of them. Really, we don’t know so much. We look at transcripts, at numbers on a page, at who went to what school. It means something, but so much less than we pretend it does.

The truth is that it will all work out somehow — not necessarily the way we planned, not necessarily the way we choose, but its own way, some way. Play your cards as best you can, and enjoy the game.

Wherever you go, there you are. And whatever you do, don’t forget to call home.

Gridlock: Our greatest hope VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Get ready for the most productive and decent political condition known to man: sweet gridlock. You get nothing. And after what you’ve been through these past few years, you deserve it.

Hey, things are tough.

A new Rasmussen poll says 48 percent of voters regard President Barack Obama’s political views as “extreme.” Not surprising, seeing as — how can I put this without being hyperbolic? — Washington has been doing to the economy what “Piranha 3D” has done to cinematic excellence.

So with Democrats in deep trouble, it’s time to start pondering this creepy and amorphous “anti-incumbent” wave.

Weird, isn’t it, that few (if any) fiscally conservative Republicans seem to be troubled by this indiscriminate rage of voters? Perhaps — and this is a stretch, I realize — these voters are disturbed or enraged specifically by the policy choices of Democrats? After all, there are polling experts who suggest that Republicans might take back the House.

Some assert that even the Senate may be in play.

Don’t worry. Unlike recent momentous, history-altering elections that saw Democrats sweep into power — The Thumpin’! — this midterm is nothing more than a reflection of some misguided fears about the economy ginned up, presumably, by Fox News.

Whatever the why, Republicans will have enough votes to prevent any more great leaps forward. Nothing of consequence will happen.

And nothing could be better.

This week, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio — emboldened by the prospect of an unearned return to power — asked the president for the resignations of his economic team of Tim Geithner and Larry Summers. (As if it makes a difference which technocrat is meddling with your life.)

Republicans would, unlike the last time out, make significant cuts in spending and taxes, ease the overbearing regulatory system, and repeal nationalized health care.

Maybe.

But in the near term, the president certainly would veto any ideologically unpalatable legislation. Just as certainly, he never would allow Republicans to undo his major legislative “accomplishments.” If Republicans do take over the Senate, Democrats can filibuster legislation just as easily.

There is no greater check on power in Washington than two strong political parties.

Safe to say there will be enough secure Democrats and secure Republicans that legislative activity will be winnowed down to the

bare necessities — namely, politics without policy results. And that’s fine by me.

What we need now is to stop the implementation of any more bright ideas and give everyone a break.

I recently read a Newsweek piece (“On Our Own”) examining the nation’s economic troubles. Government, the story explained with a straight face, “seems to have run out of ideas for rebuilding the economy, but businesses and consumers are figuring it out for themselves.”

Out of ideas? Hardly.

And that’s the problem.

But what I particularly liked about the piece was that it neatly summed up the prevailing “idea” of the Washington establishment: Without government’s help, you’re on your own (a condition, incidentally, that is supposed to be scary).

Washington is stocked with folks who possess the extraordinary gift of believing that they have the ability to manage and organize complex economic systems — and our behavior in them.

The one thing that they won’t accept is that businesses, consumers and citizens can “figure it out for themselves.”

We need gridlock to help them. And us.

North Davidson Black Knights @ Ledford Panthers 7:30 p.m.

BY BRIANA GORMAN

Times Correspondent East Davidson High School has embraced a blue-collar, grind-it-out style of football under the leadership of Golden Eagles’ head coach Bryan Lingerfelt. Entering the first week of the 2010 season, questions involving team personnel and the installation of a new offense caused some to question whether or not the approach would endure.

Last Friday night’s game against Randleman served as a reminder to Eagles’ followers that the intention of running the football relentlessly remains. According to Lingerfelt, those in attendance for this week’s game versus Trinity can expect much of the same.

Against a defense heavily dependent upon twoway players, East (0-1) will look to wear down its opponent, whose biggest weakness appears to be a lack of depth.

“We run a whole lot, so I don’t know if we’ll run any more than usual, but we’ll definitely try to control the tempo,” Lingerfelt said.

On the flipside of the ball, the Eagles defense will be challenged by a triple-option attack very similar to what they see in practice on a weekly basis.

“It helps that we’ve seen that kind of offense a little bit,” Lingerfelt said candidly. “There are a few wrinkles that we do differently and they’ve done it longer, so they’re a little better at it than we are.”

Taylor Alexander showed just how scrappy the Lady Golden Eagles can be diving after a ball against North Davidson on Tuesday.

Black Knights fend off Lady Eagles

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson’s volleyball team found themselves rallying from behind all day long against North Davidson on Tuesday, falling short in three straight games by scores of 25-23, 25-20, 26-24.

In game one, it was actually the Black Knights that had to do a little rallying for themselves. East had built a 14-9 lead after a Caroline Fowler tip fell in, but the Black Knights surged back to tie the score on some great play at the net by Alex Payne.

Taylor Alexander (nine kills) gave a boost to her team with three thunderous kills over the next few points, as East started to get separation again.

Just like that, though, North rattled off some big points behind three kills from Timmery Cook. North led 2418 at that point and appeared to have the game sealed, but East came back again. Winning five straight points, East trailed by one following a Chelsea Turner kill. On the ensuing serve, however, Natalie Naturile hit long to allow North to hold on.

“I wish we would finish games off,” said East coach Kim Warrick. “We fight, fight, fight and then we take a few steps back. I think we will get that drive over time.”

North jumped out to an 8-3 lead in the second set, maintaining that margin throughout the game to win 25-20.

Down two games, the Lady Eagles needed to find an extra gear if they had any hopes of surviving to see a fourth frame. It did not look promising midway through the game as North had built up a 14-8 lead. East remained in trouble later trailing 22-15, but with the help of sloppy play by the Black Knights, the Eagles soared back into contention. A kill from Alexander got the ball rolling, as East took the next

East’s Natalie Naturile keeps her concentration while making a pass. three points. Ali Lanier hammered down a kill for North to tack on the 23rd point, but five straight errors on the visitor’s side tied the score at 23-23.

The two teams traded points for a 24all score, then North finally ended the night. Cook blasted a ball to the floor setting up match point, then Alexander hit long on the final play.

“We are playing inconsistent right now, but it is good to have some close games at the beginning of the year,” said North coach Kim Payne. They [East] are one of those teams where everything comes back, so you have to be on your toes and be ready to play.

We are lucky to get out of here with a win.”

Considering where her team started last Thursday, Warrick was proud of the fight her team showed.

“I am not satisfied because we have room to improve, but I was pleased with our effort,” she said.

CHAPEL HILL — Since the spring North Carolina coach Butch Davis has played coy about who will be the Tar Heels’ starting quarterback for the seasonopener against LSU on Sept. 4.

Even though threeyear starter T.J. Yates always had the advantage because of his experience, redshirt freshman Bryn Renner has been breathing down his neck since outplaying the senior in the spring game.

And while Davis did not officially announce a starter Monday -— the first day the Tar Heels were to spend the majority of practice focusing on the Tigers — he did give a clearer picture of the situation.

“T.J. Yates is still the starting quarterback,” Davis said. “And I think he’s done a very, very good job. I think that Bryn has pushed him and I think that Bryn has earned the respect. ... It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that [Renner] could certainly play in the first game.”

Yates, who is coming off his worst season at UNC after throwing 15 interceptions to 14 touchdowns, is having the best training camp of his career. Not only has the competition with Renner pushed Yates to work harder than he’s ever worked before, but Davis noted Yates’ improved mobility and decision making.

“I don’t think there’s any question that it’s been one [of his best camps],” Davis said. “I think the one thing I see that is dramatically different is he’s a bigger, stronger kid than he was at any time in his career.

I think that has transformed into velocity, the speed at which he throws the football, how quick his arm is. I think he’s done what all kids do, he’s gotten better over the last six months.”

Yates’ goal was to go interception-free during training camp, but

LOOK From page 7 Despite the disparity in experience within their respective offensive sets, East’s success is predicated on a senior-laden roster that looks to make strides against the Bulldogs. The apparent parity between the schools should render Friday a telling measuring stick of how far the Eagles have come along their learning curve.

“We’re definitely hoping to improve. We’re just learning (at this stage in the season), so it’s going to take some time,” Lingerfelt said. “It’s very important for us to try to win this football game to gain confidence in what we’re doing. I think it’ll be a tough battle between two good football teams.

They’re well-coached over there, so we know it’ll be a good test for us.”

YATES From page 7 that streak was broken Thursday when he threw his first — and only — pick.

“It was a tipped ball and a [defensive] lineman caught it,” Yates said. “It was bullcrap. I was trying to go interceptionless throughout camp but it was just a screen and it bounced off somebody.”

Davis said Yates and Renner have been splitting snaps 50-50 in practice but in UNC’s second scrimmage Saturday, which was closed to the media and public, Yates worked once again with the first team while Renner led the second team. Yates said he threw just two short passes, and Renner said he worked two series that included a 60-yard touchdown pass to Josh Adams with a little help from broken coverage.

“I’m really just looking forward to an opportunity to play,” Renner said.

“Whoever starts is going to start and whoever backs up is going to back up so I think it’s coach’s decision, and I’m leaving

GENERAL Concealed handgun class There will be a concealed handgun class Sept. 25 at the Fairgrove Fire Department. The class is from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. This class is mandatory for anyone wishing to get a concealed handgun permit. The class is covered by Jason Livingston, N.C. certified firearms instructor and 16 years law enforcement experience. The class covers laws for citizens governing the use of deadly force to protect their homes, as well as deadly force laws in general as they pertain to citizens of N.C. Also, gun safety, marksmanship and fundamentals are covered and practiced during the class, with hands on range time.

To sign up for the class call Livingston at 687-0290 or go by the fire department.

seemed to create an inordinate level of difficulty in transitioning to a new coaching regime in addition to the already gratuitous task of preparing for classes. Last Friday night’s game against Trinity, then, had all the ingredients of a prototypical “look ahead” game for the Panthers.

Instead, coach Chris Adams had his players sufficiently prepared for the first game of the season and he grabbed his first victory as head coach. The road simply does not get any easier for Ledford in Week 2, as the team will face a formidable 4-A North Davidson team.

“They’re really good.

It’ll be a stiff challenge a different animal for us,” Adams admitted. “North’s going to be more of a spread-you-out offense (as opposed to Trinity’s one-dimensional rushing attack) with big tall receivers and a good little running back. They’re a solid team, so it’s going to be a great test for us.”

Jumping from its first challenge to a perennial playoff contender does not necessarily mean throwing out the blueprint from last Friday’s tussle with Trinity. In fact, Adams says, the successes Ledford experienced in its Week 1 tilt will be the key to tasting victory for a second consecutive contest.

it up to that.”

While Yates seems to have secured the starting job for the first game, it’s also obvious he’s on a short leash, and the coaching staff will not hesitate to insert Renner if necessary. Davis said there’s no specific plan to ease Renner into a game, but if an opportunity presents itself then he will be given an opportunity.

Renner said he feels ready to lead the Tar Heels if asked but for now he’s just trying to focus on learning the playbook better. Yates, who knows the playbook inside and out, admitted his experience is an advantage but also confessed the question of who will be the starter against LSU is not keeping him awake at night. “[T.J.] has the one distinct advantage that you just can’t take away from him is that he’s been in games before and he’s got starting experience and he’s played in big games,” Davis said. “But I love competition. I love the way that Bryn’s pushing him and I think that will certainly continue throughout the entire year.”

“What I felt the best about was that they looked like they knew what they were doing,” Adams said. “(First-year sophomore quarterback) Duke Boger was tremendous. The numbers were not too flashy but he stepped up and made several big throws.

“We’re still learning offensively and the defense is where our veteran players are, so we’ll rely on them while we’re developing offensively.”

Although Adams cited a few concerns about having to balance the first three days of classes with the impending matchup with a natural rival, he seemed pleased to be handed the responsibility of being tested early in the season.

“We can’t do anything but get better by playing them, so I look forward to a good crowd and a good game,” Adams said. “It should be a good night for football.”

Latin and Greek Are the Keys

Cracking the Word Code Breaking the code

Have you ever thought about how words are made? Many English words are built from words from other languages, especially Latin.

Take a bunch of Latin, toss in some Greek, and you have the codebook for English (and Spanish, French and others). The Mini Page talked with an expert on languages to learn more about decoding the meaning of words.

Latin rules About 2,000 years ago, the Romans had conquered much of Europe, the Middle East and northern Africa. The Roman Empire united the conquered countries under Roman law and one language, which was Latin.

When the Romans defeated Britain, early British peoples mixed a lot of Latin with their own languages. The Roman Catholic Church used Latin to communicate everywhere. It added more Latin words to the English language.

The Latin roots Even though the Romans conquered Greece, they still admired Greek ideas.

They brought many Greek words into their own culture. Greek words later became part of English too.

Latin and Greek are language cousins. Both are part of the same language family, the Indo-European.

Another cousin, the Germanic branch, also added many words to the English language.

But Latin is the main source of English words. Experts say that about 65 percent to 70 percent of English words come from Latin roots.

Supersport: Megan Langenfeld Height: 5-6 Birthdate: 1-17-88 Hometown: Bakersfield, Calif.

To UCLA softball fans, Megan Langenfeld has long been a big hit. Pow! The ball often exploded off the slugging senior’s bat and frequently landed where no fielder could catch it.

That’s the way it was in the recent women’s Softball World Series. Langenfeld batted a whopping .706, with 12 hits in 17 at-bats, including four home runs, and helped the Bruins win THEIR TH .#!! TITLE AND TH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP OVERALL Langenfeld received the Series’ Most Outstanding Player award. A threetime All-American, she completed her final collegiate season with a .527 batting average and 20 homers. Oh — and she also compiled a 14-1 record as a pitcher.

An economics major, Langenfeld lists math as her favorite subject.

Other things she likes are music, movies, the Los Angeles Dodgers, “Grey’s Anatomy,� mashed potatoes — and winning championships, of course.

*A novel idea is a new, different idea.

Astronomers thought a star that seemed to burst into light was a new star. They named these stars novas. A novelty is something new or different.

Meet the Okee Dokee Brothers Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing sing as the Okee Dokee Brothers. They aren’t really brothers, but were best friends growing up in Denver. Their newest CD is called “Take It Outside.�

Joe began taking piano lessons when he was 6 years old. He and Justin started taking guitar lessons when they were around 12.

Joe (left) and Justin Joe then learned to play the mandolin, and Justin learned to play the banjo.

Joe got a college degree in Spanish. Justin majored in Spanish and sociology. He taught music and movement to 3- to 5-year-olds in Thailand for six months.

They started their own nonprofit band, The Medicinal Strings. This band gives free concerts in places such as soup kitchens, homeless shelters, lowincome day care centers and nursing homes.

Joe and Justin now live in Minneapolis. Both have led choirs and classes in community centers and summer camps and teach guitar to individual students. They also perform concerts at schools, libraries and festivals.

Latin gives you an important key to the word code. It can help you figure out how to take words apart, which can help you figure out the meaning.

It can even help you build new words.

For example: The Latin word for “new� is novus. In English, a novice is a beginner, or someone new to something. A novel is a book with a new story, or a story that was created.

Novice skier What do you think it means when somebody says, “What a novel idea�?

What do you think astronomers are seeing when they view a nova? What is a novelty?* You can also use Latin to figure out words in other languages that came from Latin. For example, the Spanish word for “new� is nuevo. The “o� in Latin becomes “ue� in Spanish.

Latin is all around us. For years, people believed it was the language of learning. Scientific and medical terms come from Latin and Greek.

The front of the Great Seal of the United States of America, which also appears on our dollar bills, is printed with the Latin saying “E pluribus unum.� This means, “Out of many, one.�

You don’t need to actually know Latin to get a rough idea of the meaning. You just need to know other words that came from the same word. For example, pluribus sounds like “plural,� or more than one.

Unum sounds like “unite,� or “one.�

The motto of Kansas is on its state seal. “Ad Astra per Aspera� is Latin for “To the stars through difficulties.� Many state mottos are in Latin.

The top motto on the back of the seal means “It (the eye of God) favors our undertakings.� The bottom Latin phrase means “New Order of the Ages.�

The front of the Great Seal of the United States of America. The eagle is holding a banner saying “E pluribus unum.�

Language of magic

Some Harry Potter spells include: s Confundo, Latin for “I confuse�; s Protego, Latin for “I protect�; s Impedimenta is a little harder to figure out. It is Latin for “baggage.� Baggage holds you down, so impedire means “to hinder,� or interfere with.

There is a similar expression in English. We say, “He is carrying a lot of baggage.�

Latin was also the language of ancient magical practices. J.K. Rowling used Latin and Greek to create the spells in the “Harry Potter� books.

Did knowing English words help you figure out the meaning of those spells in the books?

The Word Builders How to break the code

All the following jokes have something in common.

Can you guess the common theme or category?

Prefixes

To figure out the meaning of words, it helps to know three things: s THE root, or main word; s THE prefix, or part before the main word; s THE suffix, or part after the main word.

These are the building blocks of most English words. You can use your knowledge of Latin and Greek, English or Spanish to help you figure out new words.

Sometimes this can be tricky because some Latin words take different forms. For example, videre and visus are different forms of “to see.� “Video� and “vision� come from the same Latin root.

This happens in English too. For example, the form of “to be� changes.

We say, “I am,� “He is,� “We are,� “I want to be.�

They ARE so cute!

She WILL BE an astronaut.

The Mini Page thanks Dr. Marion Polsky, Scarsdale (N.Y.) High School Latin teacher and author of the series of books “First Latin: A Language Discovery Program,� for help with this issue.

Next week, The Mini Page is about Newbery and Caldecott Honor Book award winners.

The prefix is a word part that comes before the root. For example, in “prefix,� pre comes from the Latin prae, meaning before, or in front of.

Fix is from the Latin root “to fix.�

A prefix is fixed before the root.

Some common prefixes include: s con- or com-, which means “together,� as in congregation, congress, confide s dis-, meaning “not,� as in disrespect or disapprove s re-, meaning “again� or “back,� as in regain, remake, redo Root form s sub-, meaning “close to�

The root word is the base, or main building block, of the new word. or “under,� as in submarine.

Suffixes It is what forms, or shapes, the word. For example, portare means Suffixes come after the root and “to carry� in Latin. The root form is change the meaning. Suf comes from port, which means “carry.� “sub.�

Out of this root, we get words Some common suffixes include: such as: s able or -ible, meaning “worthy s Report, “to carry back� of� or “able to be,� as in likable or s Import, “to carry in� visible s logy, “to study,� as in biology s Export, “to carry out� s or or -er, someone or something s Transport, “to carry across� s Transportation comes from the doing something, as in finder, Latin noun transportatio. In Latin, keeper.

Inventing words “tio� at the end of a word changes a verb to a noun.

People can mix languages Can you figure out the meanings of to create new words. For other words? For example, astra and example, television comes aster are the roots for “star.� Naut from the Greek prefix tele, meaning is the root of “sailor.� What is an far, and the Latin root visus. astronaut?

12 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, August 26, 2010

FAIR From page 1

check blood pressure and body mass index. The Health Department, Department of Social Services and North Carolina Cooperative Extension will offer information, as will the Boys and Girls Clubs and Smart Start.

Coupled with such informational activities will be positive and healthy things for families to do together. Inflatables and games will be available for children, and live local entertainment will play at the ampitheater from 4 to 7 p.m., including the Thomasville High School band, the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church choir, and Connections, a band from Mt. Zion Wesleyan Church.

The Tom A. Finch Community YMCA will also hold a zumba demonstration.

At 8 p.m., featured Christian and national recording artist Shawn McDonald will hold concert from 7 to 8 p.m.

The event’s new activity, the scavenger hunt, will begin at 4:30 p.m., with team registration up until the hunt starts.

Each team must have five members in the different categories — under age 12, between ages 13 and 19, and age 50 or older — and two teammates of any age.

“It’s keeping with the family theme,” said Billy Freeman, director of Parks and Recreation.

“It doesn’t have to be a family, but they have a representation of all generations that might be involved in a family. We thought that would add to the experience.”

Each team receives a list of tasks to complete, all of which take place in town. Teams are required to have a camera, since some tasks might involve taking a picture, such as finding and snapping a shot with the mayor.

“We were looking for something to add to the event this year,” Freeman said. “There’s so much reality TV and game shows such as The Amazing Race and the Survivor series. People seem to really enjoy this kind of thing. This is our mini version of a little reality fun.”

Winning teams will earn money that will be donated to a local charity of their choice. Even the $20 scavenger hunt entry fee — which participants will get back if they show up — can be donated instead to a charity organization. This concept not only will keep the game in the spirit of fun but also encourages people to give back.

“All of our sponsors are advocates for the community, so we thought why not have the prizes be for the community,” Freeman said. “That’s what it truly is. It’s an outreach fun time for the Thomasville area.”

The mix of important information and fun works to emphasize the event’s goal — keeping healthy family relationships, which translates to healthy children.

“It’s all in the name,” said Mary Jane Ackerman, wellness coordinator for Thomasville City Schools and chairman of the Thomasville Coalition on Alcohol & Drug Abuse, another organizer and the initiator of the event four years ago. “It’s for families, being together, doing healthy things, having a good time. The more families do things together, the more families are involved and parents are involved in their children’s lives, the lower the risk of those young people becoming involved

in risky behaviors.”

And the festival-like setting offers parents a fun way to access the information.

“We have parent education things, but sometimes it’s just not an exciting draw to say come and listen to a lecture.

This is a way that draws families in. Rather than just telling them how important it is to spend time together as a family, we’re showing it. We’re allowing them the opportunity.”
