EPA postpones change in ozone standard BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Years ago a hiker scaling North Carolinas’ Great Smoky Mountains found a spectacular view at the peak, one stretching for miles. Over the past 50 years, however, visibility has decreased by 80 percent, according to the National Park Service. The culprit — ground level ozone produced by man-made pollution and natural gases that not only obstructs gorgeous scenery but also is detrimental to public health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has strived over the years to keep the air clean, regulating air pollution by setting ozone level standards. The agency has proposed to lower the current standard of

.075 parts per million to between .060 and .070 ppm – but has delayed the change yet again. Originally set for August, the lowering date has been extended for another six months. “We just found out earlier this week that the EPA will not be meeting that deadline for setting the standard,” said Hanna Cockburn, planning program manager for the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments. “We’re expecting to see something in December or January.” Ground-level ozone – a highly reactive form of oxygen that forms when nitrogen oxides (NOx) from vehicle and industrial emissions mix with heat, sun light and volatile organic compounds from trees and plants – was identified in the Clean Air Act

of 1971 as an air pollution affecting public health. The peak ozone season lasts from May to September or October. The EPA first set air quality standards on ozone in 1997. In 2008, the agency lowered the standard but not quite as low as scientists had recommended at the time. The EPA began talks about further restricting ozone emissions in September 2009, but it wasn’t until January 2010 that an official announcement was made. Although Davidson County is in attainment with the current standard, a tightening of ozone levels would push the area over the edge. “We have addressed and improved our ozone,” said Davidson County Planning Director Guy Cornman. “The federal govern-

Davidson County’s unemployment rate dropped slightly in July, showing signs that people are slowly beginning to find work. According to statistics released by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina on Friday, the unemployment rate in Davidson County fell to 11.7 percent in July, a .4 percent decrease from June as the number of employed people rose by 118 workers to 66,801. In Thomasville, the unemployment stayed at 11.5 percent, but the number of people employed increased by 18 from June to 10,508. The unemployment rate dropped in 86 of North Carolina’s 100 counties, but only 46 reported rates that were at or below the state rate of 9.9 percent. “Unemployment has dropped in the majority of the state’s 100 counties in July,” ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said. “However, over half of our counties had unemployment rates over 10 percent. Local communities continue to be challenged by the current economic conditions. Our staff across the state continues to provide assistance to those seeking unemployment benefits and those seeking employment opportunities.” Despite the minimal job gains, the labor forces in Thomasville and Davidson County continues to shrink. In July, Thomasville reported a labor force of 11,877 workers compared to 12,468 a year ago. Since March, the labor force in Thomasville has dropped by more than 200 workers, as people have either

Car chase ends with wreck at Big Chair A man suspected of breaking into a Wallburg home led area police on a chase down N.C. Highway 109 that ended with a crash near Thomasville’s Big Chair. Thomasville Police Department and Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office joined efforts in apprehending Joseph Daniel Hunt, 41, of 1719 Pea Ridge Road in Ellenboro, Thursday afternoon after the man refused to stop for a school resource officer in the Ledford community following a call regarding a possible home break-in. Sheriff David Grice said a relative of a homeowner at 6992 N.C. Highway 109 called police to report a home breakin. A school resource officer in the area was dispatched and attempted to stop a black Ford Explorer near Old Greensboro Road that was spotted leaving the scene. The suspect, however, fled, leading police on a chase that came through Thomasville, down Salem Street. Deputies called TPD for assistance where officers laid down stop sticks in an effort to disable the vehicle. Grice said that the Explorer and the vehicle’s tags were stolen. “We’ve already connected [Hunt] to two break-ins in the county and there may be more,” Grice said. “He is also wanted on a warrant and a failure to appear, one of which I think is

Kimberly-Clark gives helping hand to spruce up property BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Lynn Isaacs’ shed lay in ruins. The roof caved in, doors hung limply on crumbling hinges. Widowed at about age 30, the 80-somethingyear-old woman had lived in her Davidson County house by herself for nearly 40 years, filling it with treasures she had collected throughout her life.

When someone broke into the building a few weeks back, Isaacs feared for her belongings. And given her near-blindness, there was little she could do on her own. Kimberly-Clark came to the rescue. As part of United Way of Davidson County’s Week of Caring, employees of the Kimberly-Clark Lexington mill traveled out to Isaacs’ property last week at the request

of Davidson County Senior Services. They painted her roof, built and installed new doors, and weeded around the yard. “She’s just had a hard road,” said Kristie Hege of United Way, one of the coordinators for the Week of Caring. “She was so, so thankful. She just kept coming outside and thanking the Kim-

The Bible explained by kids: The 12 opossums UNCLE BILL’S CORNER

BILL HILL Guest Columnist The more you know, the funnier it is. I laughed unti I had tears running down my face! You simply must read these observations on the Bible! If the story of Joshua does not make you howl, then you are not alive! I recently received an email from a lady in Oregon who just happened to be visiting Thomasville, and happened to pick up one of our Thomasville Times paper and read my column. She writes: Dear Uncle Bill, I read your cloumn in The Thomasville Times newspaper and laughed until I cried. Thank you! I want to share a story with you that perhaps you could share with your readers. One of my favorite jobs has been leading junior church. We try to do more than baby-sit our church’s beloved little ankle-biters during their time in our special

junior church facility. We aim to give them a solid background in biblical history. At the end of the year, we give them pencils and paper and ask them to chronicle what they have learned. This assignment never fails to elicit some intriguing responses. In case you’re a little foggy on your biblical history, let our junior church students help you with their complete overview of the Bible, compiled from their essays. In the beginning, which occured near the start, there was nothing but GOD, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, The Lord thy GOD is one, “but I think HE must be older than that.” Anyway, GOD said, “Give me a light!”, and someone did. Then GOD made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t embarasses because mirrows hadn’t been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed GOD by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in through, because they didn’t have cars. New then, Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something like that. One of the

next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some of the other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check. After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat. Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Isreal Lights out of Egypt and anyway from the evil Pharaoh after GOD sent ten plagues on Pharaho’s people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. GOD fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. The He gave His top ten Commandments. These included don’t lie, cheat, smoke, dance. or covet your neighbors bottom (the BIBLE uses a bad word for bottom that I’m not supposed to say. But my Dad uses it sometimes when he talks about the President.) Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother. One of Moses’ best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought

the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town. After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but doesn’t sound wise to me. After Solomon there was a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some monor league prophets, but I huess we don’t have to worry about them. After the Old Testament came a New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New Testiment. He was born in Bethleham in a barn. (“I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, Close the door! Were you born in a barn”) It would be nice to say,( “As a matter of fact, I was”) During His life Jesus had many arguments with the sinners like the Pharisee and the Republicans and Democrats. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named him a terrible vegetable after him. Jesus was a great man. He helped many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and the Democrats all of

those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn’t stick up for Jesus. He washed his hands instead. Anyway, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went to Heaven, but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolations. There! Now you understand it. Well, Uncle Bill says, “I guess the truth has been redefined! “Only out of the mouth’s of babes!” This column today is dedicated in Memory of my dear friend, Donald Whitehead, who passed away last week. My thought’s and prayers go out to Billie Whitehead his wife, and her dear family members, who have always treated me like a family member. Don, was a very giving and caring individual, who will surely be missed by many people. “Don you were an insperation for life, rest in piece friend, rest in piece,” “Thank you, Reverened Jamie Fonville and Carol for all that you do for Heidelberg United Church of Christ, what would we do without you ?* Stay strong, stay safe, stay happy, until we meet again friends, Uncle Bill is over and out!

attempted to apprehend Hunt, who unsuccessfully tried to resist arrest. DCSO charged Hunt with breaking and entering and larceny. “A citizen or relative observed the suspect leaving a home and started following him,” said TPD Capt. Darren Smith. “The sheriff ’s office got behind him and attempted to stop him but he fled down 109 towards town. They called us and we put the sticks out. One of his tires went down but he just never would let off the gas and kept going through town. We blocked off traffic the best we could, but when he went across the railroad tracks, there was an accident. We had traffic stopped on the north side of Main Street but nobody had gotten over there yet. Officers detained him at the car and he resisted a little. He was banged up a little bit, but didn’t require any treatment. We were lucky it wasn’t a lot worse.” DCSO detectives began investigating and found that Hunt is allegedly tied to other break-ins in Davidson County and Winston-Salem. TPD charged Hunt with several traffic violations including two counts of fleeing to elude arrest, driving while license revoked, possession of stolen goods and resisting a police officer. The driver of the utility van was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Hunt was issued a $130,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 27.

Mike and Kathy Liner first opened the Pioneer Family Restaurant and Steakhouse along with Walter and Ruby Hill in July of 1987. They opened their doors with the philosophy of providing customers with the highest quality products, largest portions at the most affordable prices that would allow them to stay in business. This motto was working well as customers far and near flocked to the Pioneer for both lunch and dinner. Just as things were going great, the two lane Main Street underwent major construction to create the now five lane highway. During this time, cars could barely access the Pioneer parking lot and business began to slow. This was the period Mike and Kathy attribute to the development of perservance, personality and success that have made he Pioneer a cornerstone of the community. In order to keep their doors open during the massive road construction, Mike and Kathy decided to offer the “Road Construction Special.” A deal that was so good, even the most timid of drivers braved the construction to get through the doors. The Pioneer was sold in July of 1997 and purchased back on August 31, 2009. They would like to celebrate their anniversary by ging back to the 1980’s and 90’s where they got their start by offering some of those same great prices and deals including “The Road Constuction Special!”

DCSO deputies and officers with Denton Police Department responded to a possible breaking and entering into an outbuilding at 1213 Old Camp Road in Denton Thursday morning and found the two inside. An investigation revealed Svejkovsky had been missing from the West Davidson area since mid-July. The homeowner decided not to file charges but officers located a stolen moped near the area where the two were found. Both admitted to the larceny and were placed in jail and issued a $1,500 secured bond. They are scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 20.

Thomasville couple charged for harboring runaway According to a DCSO press release, a report of a runaway juvenile came in on June 11. Deputies located the juvenile on Aug. 21 and are alleging that William Warren Mounce, 41, of 274 Kennedy Road, and Helen Marie Ford, 38, of the same address, committed acts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and obstructing an investigation. The couple was arrested on Wednesday and charged with one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three counts of resist, obstruct or delay law enforcement.

employees for what they were doing. She called them her angels. It was nice to help somebody like that who really appreciated it.” United Way’s Week of Caring spans from Monday, Aug. 30, to Saturday, Aug. 4 – though projects can be completed before or after those dates, depending on when both the volunteers’ and agencies’ schedules. Nearly 20 years old, the program has announced 41 projects this year, and nearly all of them have been matched with willing workers. “We’ve just had a great response from the community,” Hege said. “It’s a great way for them to get involved with the United Way not just by giving money, but by giving their time and talent.” Week of Caring originally began as a single day of hands-on projects, such as building picnic tables, painting and landscaping. But since many workers struggled to take time off and non-profits juggled client schedules, pinning the volunteer work into a 24-hour period became two much. The hands-on projects also left some unable to participate. Those who still couldn’t get time off even during the more flexible Week of Caring longed to participate in other ways, so United Way added collections of items such as food, toiletries and school supplies. But while donations total about $2 million a year, the hands-on work hasn’t lost its popularity. “The thing that is most amazing to me is that people really respond to doing a hands-on project – just the physical act of doing landscaping or painting or whatever it might be” said United Way of Davidson County Director Lee Jessup. “We’ve been amazed that folks still like doing that basic labor for somebody in need. It’s a neat thing.” Week of Caring corresponds to United Way’s campaign kickoff in August, getting everybody involved in the organization back in United Way mode, as Hege put it. “It’s a great way for our individual donors and companies to see exactly what our agencies do,” she said. “Before they’re actually asked to give money, they can get involved.” But the week dedicated

to community service holds a deeper significance than just the beginning of United Way’s fundraising campaign. It also points to the fact that giving doesn’t always mean dolling out cash. “The week is a reminder that anyone can give to the United Way – you can give dollars, you can volunteer your time, or you can work,” Jessup said. “There’s a lot of hands-on work that goes into compassion. It’s not just writing a check, although that’s extremely important. You can write all the checks you want, but donating a pint of blood to the Red Cross is one of the most compassionate things people can do.” United Way composes the list of projects by handing out forms to the county’s many non-profit agencies. The organization then sends the projects compiled from those forms out to companies and individuals who volunteer with or donate to the United Way, asking them to select top three choices. Matches are first-come, first-serve. About 30 agencies hold membership with the United Way, but Hege says the outreach for Week of Caring doesn’t stop there. The organization instead expands this service to all area non-profits. “We really just wanted it to be a community event and really reach out to all non-profits because we’re all in the same boat,” Hege said. “Just because they’re not a United Way agency doesn’t mean they’re not serving the community. It’s just about bringing everyone together.” To volunteer in United Way of Davidson County’s Week of Caring, contact Kristie Hege at (336) 249-2532.

STANDARD From page 1 ment is going to lower the standards and make it even more difficult.” In 2002-03, the Triad area formed an Early Action Compact process to put forward enough strategies to improve ozone levels and reach attainment that the EPA labeled it as such. “The EPA allowed our region through the Early action Compact to suspend nonattainment designation, to put it off, so we could put forth some strategies to show we were in attainment,” Cockburn said. “And we were able to do that. This new standard, depending on how low it is, is going to be more difficult to show attainment.” The suggested change comes at the request of scientists and environmentalists who say the shift in 2008 was never low enough to protect public health and the environment. “What the EPA put out is the science behind the last standard was being questioned,” Cockburn said. “That’s sort of their basis. The EPA’s role in this is to sort of protect the health of the public. All the things I read basically say the same thing – that poor air quality means poor public health. Anything we can do to work with our public agencies to improve air quality will translate to a healthier public.” And ozone isn’t the only air quality issue facing Davidson County or threatening the health of the community. In fact, the EPA actually considers fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) the most pressing air qual-

ity concern in the country. PM 2.5, such as dust, smoke and soot, can affect both the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of healthy individuals, according to Clean Air Carolina. Davidson County and the surrounding areas have been labeled in unattainment with PM 2.5 standards for years. And while that was true in the early 2000s, Cockburn says that the readings have dropped significantly since then and continue to fall each year. Since the drops put the area back in attainment, county governments requested that the Department of Natural Resources speak to the federal government on their behalf. “The local governments got together and made a request back to EPA saying that PM 2.5 continues to be held over our heads as a conformity issue, and it’s not,” Cockburn said.

The EPA has said that it might put the county in maintenance designation, meaning that the area would have to continue to demonstrate attainment through readings and conformity activities for a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20. The agency also said the process of labeling the area would take 18 months – work began in December 2009. “So the story doesn’t really end here,” Cockburn said. “It’s very complicated. We’ve made the request. EPA has responded saying it may take as much as 18 months to consider the implications of recatagorizing these three counties. We continue to be hopeful. Not it’s in the EPA’s court.” As for the ozone standard, Cockburn says that for now, the county must just sit tight and wait. “Stay tuned,” she said. “Sooner rather than later, we will know.”

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future. There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modiﬁed adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA.

The price of victory VIEWPOINT

LINDA CHAVEZ Syndicated Columnist Sen. John McCain won the Arizona Republican primary against former congressman J.D. Hayworth this week, but he paid a heavy price. Never again will he be able to lead on an issue that was important to him and the Nation: reforming our broken immigration system. Not only did he flip-flop shamelessly, but it wasn’t even necessary. Hayworth was a huckster — not just shilling for an outfit that promised “free” government money to anyone who’d fork over a few bucks, but voting for pork-barrel projects throughout his congressional career. And it was ultimately McCain’s exposure of Hayworth’s record that led to his 20-point victory. McCain didn’t need to pander on the immigration issue to be re-nominated. After all, he handily won his party’s presidential nomination in 2008 after spending the previous two years in the Senate pushing for comprehensive immigration reform. For all the blather emanating from some circles, illegal immigration is not a top voting issue for most Republicans. Jobs, the economy, taxes, the national debt, government spending, and terrorism all trump immigration as primary issues of concern in most polls. And even in Arizona, the frontline of the immigration war, McCain’s record on comprehensive reform wasn’t much of a factor. McCain’s admission, following his victory, that “we had to do what it takes,” suggests his hard-line rhetoric was simply a bone thrown to the minority of Republican voters for whom illegal immigration is their top voting issue. He did the same thing when he was running for president in 2000 in South Carolina’s primary, only at that time the issue was the debate over the confederate flag flying over the state capitol. When he campaigned in the state, he said he viewed the flag as “a symbol of heritage” and demurred over whether it should fly over the capitol as a “state issue.”

But he later called his statements an “act of cowardice.” Does anyone really believe that Arizona Republicans bought McCain’s reinvention of himself as a clone of Sheriff Joe Arpaio? The Maricopa County loudmouth has earned a national reputation out of his hard-line on illegal immigration and happens to be under grand jury investigation for alleged corruption and abuse of power. McCain’s capitulation to what he once called, in my presence, “a strong nativist tendency” fooled no one. It simply besmirched his honor and dignity. But McCain isn’t alone. Candidates often take positions in party primaries — both Republican and Democrat — that they feel obliged to take in order to win. And winning, no matter what the price in abandoned principles, has become the rule. Rare is the politician who is willing to stand up and tell the voter what he or she really believes. Instead, candidates hire pollsters to tell them what they should believe, and they then parrot whatever position polls best. But after the primary is over, the candidates must shuffle to reposition themselves again since they must now appeal to a broader electorate. It will be interesting to watch McCain as he tries to pull back from his most outrageous primary positions, like favoring a constitutional amendment to deny citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States. In the 2008 presidential election, 44 percent of Hispanic voters in Arizona voted for McCain over Obama. Hispanics made up 16 percent of the vote in Arizona in 2008 and will likely make up at least that large a percentage of voters in November. McCain will likely try to mend fences with Hispanics and others who think he overstepped the bounds of decency during the primary. He will likely still win re-election — he’s up about 20 points over his Democratic opponent. But he’ll never again be able to claim that — agree with him or disagree — he’s always acted on principle. He’ll remain a major voice on foreign policy and fiscal issues, but he’s written himself out of the immigration debate.

Congratulations all around THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Don’t forget the “TrashN-Treasure” sale this morning at Memorial United Methodist Church on Randolph Street, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. in Jarrett Hall. ••• Congratulations to Joe Hedgpeth, co-chair of the “Uptown Thomasville” project and to Nancy Higgins-Horne, Secretary-Treasurer. “PACE” Park is now going to get some usage. Downtown is looking much better. Some of the downtown property owners have spent quite a few dollars to make the façades of some of the downtown buildings look much better. Riding through town one morning this week, I had stopped at the traffic light adjacent to the “Big Chair.” I was glad to see a tourist taking a photo of what I assumed was his wife at the Chair and the beautiful flowers there. It reminded me of scenes of 20 years ago when we had a lot of tourists traveling through and stopping at the Big Chair to shoot pictures. ••• In this column I frequently make mention of my wife, “Gayle.” Aug. 31, will be Gayle’s last work day. She is retiring at the end of the day. Her nursing career began after graduation from Thomasville High in 1967. She enrolled at Forsyth Hospital School of Nursing that year completing her nurse’s training in 1970. Immediately after graduation from the School of Nursing, she was employed as an “Emergency Room Nurse” at the “old” City Memorial Hospital on Pine

Street. Unfortunately for her, while working in the ER there, she met a “widowed” police officer with four children and became married in 1972. (wonder who that was?) When City Memorial moved to the “new” Community General Hospital in 1972, she helped move patients to the new building. In 1974, she was employed at Thomasville Pediatrics from which she will retire Tuesday. Hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I do, Babe! ••• Sometimes, we are challenged by the actions or activity of others. Such was the case a few weeks back when my Mother-in-Law (and the children’s grandmother), by my first marriage, celebrated her 93rd birthday. She decided she wanted to ride in a “Hot Air” balloon. So, my son Jerry lined it up with a friend of his who owned such a balloon. After she had taken her ride, the basket was open for others who wanted to ride. I looked at Gayle! Gayle looked at our daughter-in-law, Bonnie and our grandchildren, Laura and Ryan and we all agreed to be good sports and take a lift in the balloon. I didn’t want to be outdone by a 93-year-old and 4 and 5-year-olds. It was quite neat. We were several hundred feet in the air. The balloon was “tethered” to several vehicles on the ground in order for it not to fly off into the “wild blue yonder.” ••• I try hard not to repeat a subject. I have checked my computer and can’t find that I have used this one, so I’ll share it with you: To realize the value of a sister/brother: Ask someone who doesn’t have one. To realize the value of four years: Ask a graduate. To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a prema-

ture baby. To realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed a train, bus or plane. To realize the value of onesecond: Ask a person who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE. Remember.... Hold on tight to the ones you love! ••• I was reading the daily devotional in Daily Guideposts the other day when I came upon a word, “flummoxed.” The writer for that day used this sentence. “I became totally flummoxed.” So, naturally I grabbed Webster’s and checked the Thesaurus in my computer. Flummoxed means: confused; bewildered; bemused; at sea; stumped; puzzled; perplexed; mystified or baffled. Well, I did learn my “new” word for that day. I can relate to being “confused” but not “flummoxed.” •••

The Blame Game This is the story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody. I want to close this session with these two statements. Make God your first priority not your last resort! Nothing is Politically Correct if it is Morally Wrong! Nuf said, until next time! Guest Columnist Larry Murdock can be contacted at this-n-thats@hotmail.com.

In Davidson County, the number of unemployed people has decreased by more than 1,500 in the past year, but the labor force also has fell by 1,579 during the same time period. “Our labor market department tells us not to be surprised by one month’s figures but to look at the trend,” said Pat Hilliard, branch manager at the ESC office in Lexington. “Our unemployment is trending on the way down, and that’s a good thing. Some people are ending their extensions and saying they’re not looking for work, which causes the number to go down. “It’s never a good thing when the labor market drops, and you never want to see people quit looking for work all together.” Hilliard said some companies in the county have started hiring more.

RELIGION

Back to school KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist Teachers started back to work last week. We are busy preparing for our students who will be arriving this week. We have been attending meetings, cleaning our classrooms, and getting things set up for our students. There is always much more to do to prepare for the students return than there is time to get it all done. We have to organize all our materials and make things look nice for our students’ return to the classroom. I have been working on copying handouts for my classroom and printing the guidelines for my cooperative education students and internship students. I still have to hang my posters, do some extra cleaning, and work on my lesson plans before the big day. It takes a lot of time and energy to get things just right for our students. Summer vacation never seems to arrive soon enough. Summer vacation allows teachers the opportunity to rejuvenate for a new year. I go to some workshops and look for new ways to approach my curriculum. There are always things that change in the marketing field and I try to stay up on some of the news so I can tell my students about the latest trends. I know I need to be excited and prepared to return to my classroom each school year. I also know that I need to learn and stay on top of what the new educational trends are, especially as they relate to my instruction. I also know that I need to discover new ways to build students’ interest in the content of my curriculum. I can do all those things, but sometimes that may not be enough. Students have to come to school with the right attitude. They have to come to school willing to work and apply themselves to the learning process. There is no magic formula; they just need to be open and willing to apply themselves. Parents have a responsibility to nurture the desire to learn, provide a home atmosphere that lets the student know that what goes on at school is very important. After all, learning and education is really a lifelong process. Going to school really teaches us

how to learn so we can continue that process after we finish school. Spiritual growth and maturity is much the same. No one has ever arrived spiritually. We all have to continue to grow and mature our faith. Learning and growing spiritually requires us to read, study, reflect, and to live out what we have learned. School is never out spiritually. There will be times of spiritual growth and seasons when we struggle to maintain, but we still need to keep moving forward. We are also going to discover that there are tests. God wants to see if we are learning. Do we really trust Him? Do we believe that all things are going to work together for the good, even the difficult things and the stuff we don’t understand? Will we stumble or stand when our faith is persecuted? When things are not going along just as we thought they should, will we turn our backs on God? The truth is our faith is organic and changing as life experiences impact us. Age can grant us wisdom and deeper spiritual insight, but spiritual maturity comes as we learn to apply what we have learned to our lives. Spiritual growth will produce spiritual fruit. There are challenges we will face in every stage of life and in order to win the victory we must continue to grow and learn. I believe it is our responsibility to grow and maintain our faith throughout our lives. We need to feed our faith through reading the Bible. We need to water our faith through prayer. We need to live our faith so others can see that what we have is real and it is what sustains us as we walk along the path of life. I want to encourage you to do several things. First, pray for the teachers as we head back to the classroom. Pray for the students as they come back to school so that they will have the right attitude about learning. Then spend some time reflecting on your own spiritual growth. Have you read some good books or encouraging articles? Are you praying on a regular basis? Are you learning just as I expect my students to be doing? Remember, we never stop learning spiritually, so it’s always back to school time.

Bulldogs survive in Mount Airy BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer MOUNT AIRY — A mark of a great team is being able to make the most out of a good break. With not much going right offensively, the Thomasville Bulldogs were on the verge of falling behind the Mt. Airy Granite Bears by two touchdowns early in the second half Friday night. Considering how the Bulldogs were performing on offense, a comeback didn’t seem to be in the cards. On one strange series of events, a pivotal penalty proved to the be the break THS needed in a 21-14 victory. “We didn’t have a good week of practice,” THS assistant coach Dickie Cline said. “We’re happy with the win, but we’ve got to clean up some of the mental mistakes. We put ourselves in a hole and the defense played great. We made some adjustments at halftime and were able to execute better offensively.” Trailing 7-0, Sam Nelson had apparently thrown his third pick of the night midway through the third quarter that the Granite Bears ran down to the Bulldogs 1-yard line. The referees, however, flagged Mt. Airy for a 15-yard late hit penalty that nullified the pick and gave THS a first down. Two plays later, Quin Riley sprang a 70-yard touchdown run, sparking some life into the Bulldogs listless offense. By the time the third quarter ended, Riley added another score and Isaiah Williams returned a punt 40 yards for a touchdown, putting THS ahead to stay, 21-7. “I just had to focus myself at halftime,” said Riley, who ran for 159 yards on 21 carries. “I said a few prayers and just put my faith in my offensive line. The defense played lights out.”

Thomasville linebacker James Boyd pounces on a Mt. Airy ball carrier in the first half of Friday’s nonconference showdown with the Granite Bears. With a lead in hand, the Bulldogs defense took their play up a notch. Robert Davis and James Boyd led a spirited charge by the defense that bottled up the Granite Bears offense for much of the second half. Mt. Airy made things interesting late with a fourth quarter touchdown and a possession that could’ve tied the game with under two minutes to go, but Davonte Gordon-Hunter knocked down a fourth and long pass with 43 seconds to play. “We just played hard and didn’t fuss at each other,” Davis said. “We just had to stick with what we were doing.” Thomasville didn’t do a whole lot right in the first quarter. Penalties, poor blocking and turnovers led to an early road deficit for the Bulldogs, who could easily have been down several scores had it not been for the

Airy drove down to the THS 5-yard line midway through the opening quarter but settled for a field goal attempt that Chris Ross blocked. The Bulldogs took over deep in their own territory and managed to pick up a first down, but Nelson had a pass tipped that Austin Taylor picked off at the THS 14-yard line. Ben Hinson found Sam Simmons wide open in the flat off a play-action fake two plays later, putting the Granite Bears up, 7-0. Mt. Airy threatened again early in the second quarter following another Nelson pick off a tipped ball that gave the Granite Bears great field position at the THS 17-yard line. The Bulldogs defense held their ground, forcing another field goal try that missed wide right, keeping it a one-score contest.

CHAPEL HILL — After struggling to break free at the line of scrimmage a year ago as a freshman, North Carolina wide receiver Erik Highsmith not only bulked up dur-

Charles Brown, who has 22 career starts, to press him during summer workouts so he could work on getting off the line faster. It’s just one of the many signs the young receiv-

The wideouts were the youngest unit on the field a year ago after losing Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster to the NFL, and that inexperience showed. There were dropped balls, missed blocking assignments and poorly run routes while the lone veteran, Greg Little, became quarterback T.J. Yates’ only consistent deep target. But after a full season of games, as well as spring practice, wide receivers coach Charlie Williams said those young players — sophomores Highsmith, Jheranie Boyd, Todd Harrelson and redshirt freshman Josh Adams — understand the game better. “Now they know what to expect,” Williams said. “We’ve got our work cut out for us, but ... I feel a lot better the second time around because they’re more experienced now.” The biggest question mark for the Tar Heels, however, is the status of Little. The senior had 62 catches for 724 yards a

year ago, but his status for the season-opener against LSU on Sept. 4 remains uncertain because of an ongoing NCAA investigation. Little and defensive tackle Marvin Austin are at the center of NCAA probe reportedly focusing on improper benefits or contact between agents and players. Boyd, who had 12 catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns in 2009, has been taking snaps with the first team instead of Little. Highsmith, UNC’s second leading receiver a year ago, is the other expected starter. “We go to practice every day,” Williams said. “It’s out of our hands. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. We go to work every day, and all we’re worried about doing is getting better — the whole group, [Little] included.” Williams said the most improved player so far in camp, however, has been Jones. The 6-4, 220pounder, who is listed as Highsmith’s backup on the depth chart, arrived at UNC with high expectations but has failed to live up to them so far. He didn’t record a catch in 2008 and had just five catches for 21 yards after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee the day before the start of the season. “He’s just playing faster,” Williams said. “He’s playing more physical.

He’s catching the ball. He’s catching the deep ball. [He’s doing] the things that we saw in high school.” Williams also praised Adams, who started the first two games of 2009 before a shoulder injury ended his season. He received a medical redshirt and has four years of eligibility remaining. Yates said he also has seen the receivers become bigger, stronger and faster as they have become more comfortable in the system and with him. The three-year starter said the receivers have grown up, which is what the Tar Heels need if they hope to become more of an offensive threat through the air. “I think we’re one of the most talented groups on the team,” said Highsmith, who is back at practice after missing almost a week because of a concussion. “We’ve got to step up. Everybody is looking forward to us stepping up and being a bigger impact. We know we have to.”

Awareness, focus and balance OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist When I teach someone to shoot a shotgun, I tell them about awareness and focus. Awareness is what allows the shooter to be in position to break the target. It allows him to position himself, have the gun ready, and find the target in the sky once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launched. Focus is what makes a good shooter. When the target comes out of the trap, a good shooter puts his whole focus on that clay disc. He can see the shape of the skirt and the dome as he homes in on the target. As he breaks the trigger, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely involved in that target and, as soon as he shoots, he moves on to focus on the next target. Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to Port Clinton, Ohio for the National Rifle Matches. It was my first visit in at least eight years. I love Port Clinton and the surrounding area. Tangled along the twisty, southern coastline of Lake Erie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly the heart of America. With off-shore islands, wineries, beaches, and Cedar Point Amusement Park, the area is loaded with things to do and see. I spent almost a week at Port Clinton and hardly experienced any of what it had to offer. I did manage to eat at the Islander, a new, upscale restaurant in Port Clinton but I even missed the traditional dinner visit to the Mona Mia, a winery restaurant Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited almost every trip since my first year of coming to the National Matches in 1984. My problem was focus.

Focus is a good thing. It allows us to excel at what we do by concentrating our energy on the task at hand without distractions. I was focused on writing a story for Remingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Roadmap. It was an important gig for me and I wanted to do a great job. I was also focused on shooting and getting everything in line to shoot well, though I failed miserably at that. All around me on the range, there were folks who also were oblivious to all the attractions of the Erie Shores. Serious competition in almost any endeavor, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outdoor activity like shooting, fishing, or dog training can pull the participant into a zone of tight focus that excludes almost any other activity. When I was shooting and running the state team, I was a victim of that obsession. I would take nothing for that time in my life, but I realize now how easy it is to become obsessed with one part of your life to the exclusion of the rest of it. While I was in the pits operating targets for the other relays last week, I enjoyed conversation with the other shooters around me. In the course of conversation, I mentioned fishing, hunting, and training dogs. Almost everyone wistfully remembered those pleasures but related they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for them anymore and asked how I had time. My reply was that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time a few years back, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now achieved balance. When I told them Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d achieved balance, almost everyone laughed at the statement, but the recognition in their eyes showed they knew what I was talking about. To be truly good at something in life, you have to give something else up. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus. To sample all of what life offers you need awareness. The trick is being able to shift from awareness to focus and back; that is balance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m often frustrated when I ask someone to bring their son or

daughter and go fishing with me. Many times, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve expressed a desire to go but when the time comes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a commitment of a soccer or basketball game that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be missed. The daughter of a friend plays softball and is quite good at it. She was also a gifted shotgunner and she enjoyed fishing and hunting. Now, she plays softball every weekend for most of the year and when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no game, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice. I see this with so many kids and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

robbing our kids of the opportunity to be a kid. I know every generation looks back at their own childhood and sees it as a perfect time and way to grow up, but I really believe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shortchanging our lives and our kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives by becoming obsessed with specific activities. Adults are just as bad. I have a friend whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great guy and has a passion for a lot of interests but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so driven he rarely kicks back and does something because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something he wants to

do. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too priority oriented, we never really take the time to enjoy life. There will always be things that need to be done. Kids need time to just be a kid and adults need time to be a kid too on occasion. Kids and adults need balance. People who are the best at what they do are almost always focused primarily on that one thing. As a result, they give up other pleasures and life and often, relationships with other people. In the last dozen years of my life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really tried to

achieve balance. I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something that still needs to be done but I also know that, as my old friend Charlie Atwood once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get more wood cut if you stop and sharpen your axe from time to time.â&#x20AC;? The next time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in Port Clinton, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go to the beach. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to Mona Mia for dinner; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to exercise balance. I hope I see you soon at the axesharpening bench or a fishing hole somewhere, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to take your kids or grandkids.

Heels may have academic violations BY BRIANA GORMAN

season opener against LSU on Sept. 4 in Atlanta. If that is the case, UNC will have to decide whether to use those players in the game and risk them being ruled ineligible later. Sources said several starting defensive players already were practicing with the scout team Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know the extent of the issue,â&#x20AC;? Baddour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are conducting our review vigorously, aggressively and we will get to the bottom of this.â&#x20AC;? Baddour said the school is in the middle of the review, which now is twopronged â&#x20AC;&#x201D; agents and academics. He said UNC is leading the academic part of the process with former and current athletic faculty, along with compliance staff and legal counsel as part of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigative team. Thorp said he hopes the scope of the misconduct is limited, and the school will do everything it can to make sure it never happens again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Academic achievement and fairness are at the heart of the University of North Carolina and our department of athletics,â&#x20AC;? Thorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are treating this issue with the seriousness that you would expect from this university. We will straighten this out.â&#x20AC;? Davis said he is committed to the values of UNC and pledged his full cooperation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is more important than the character, the integrity and the reputation of this university and this football program,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told to Chancellor Thorp and to Dick Baddour, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our total cooperation in trying to help with the NCAA review.â&#x20AC;? Thorp also said the school has been working around the clock and reaffirmed that academics remain UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is this: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a privilege to put on the North Carolina uniform and represent this university,â&#x20AC;? Thorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job to make sure the people that do so have earned that privilege. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that Dick Baddour and Coach Davis feel as strongly about this as I do, and I have every confidence in their ability to lead our program through this.â&#x20AC;?

Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team now is under investigation for possible academic violations, Chancellor Holden Thorp said Thursday night during a news conference at Kenan Stadium. An hour and a half after addressing the football team on the field, Thorp was joined by athletic director Dick Baddour and Coach Butch Davis in announcing that the school had reported the possible violations to the NCAA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To everyone who loves this university, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry about what I have to tell you,â&#x20AC;? Thorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the course of the joint investigation by the NCAA and the university into possible agent violations, we learned of a situation that includes possible academic misconduct involving a former undergraduate tutor and student-athletes on the football team.â&#x20AC;? Davis admitted the tutor in question previously had been employed by his family as an academic advisor to his son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is someone that obviously worked with our son,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest with you, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really surprised and possibly disappointed, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no revelation as to exactly the extent or what has actually transpired.â&#x20AC;? NCAA representatives were on the UNC campus July 12-13 and again Aug. 4-5 to interview players about the possibility of having received improper benefits or having illegal contact with agents. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin and wide receiver Greg Little appear to be the focus of that probe, but more players reportedly will be involved with the academic investigation. Neither Baddour nor Thorp indicated the nature of the possible academic violations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking into improprieties that existed outside the classroom,â&#x20AC;? Baddour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as close to that as I can get.â&#x20AC;? Baddour declined to say how many players may be involved in the academic investigation, which he said likely will continue beyond the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Plus, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re full of the fuel your body needs to be healthy. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep a food diary. A food diary can make you more aware of what you are consuming on a daily basis and where you may need to scale back. Studies have indicated that those who write down what they eat in a journal tend to lose more weight than those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay hydrated. You should aim to drink eight glasses of water per day for optimal health. Drinking water is also a good way to feel full without doing unnecessary snacking. â&#x20AC;˘ Make exercise fun. Vary your activities and have a friend join

you in your exercise routine. If exercise is fun, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to stick with it. â&#x20AC;˘ Indulgences are okay once in a while. If you deprive yourself of your

favorite foods all of the time, you will have a greater craving for them. Therefore, have that dessert or special meal on occasion. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo it all of the time.

On NASCAR: When bad is good BY CATHY ELLIOTT NASCARMedia.com I honestly believe that if Kyle Busch announced he was planning to sell everything he owned, turn his back on the sport of stock car racing forever and spend the rest of his life in service to the poor and downtrodden, people still wouldn’t like him. I also honestly believe the chances of that happening are less than zero; Kyle is no Mother Teresa, after all. But who is? It just seems odd, and somehow unfair, that a guy who seems able to do no wrong inside a race car (or truck) seems unable to do anything right once he’s back on the outside. We are fortunate to be NASCAR fans at a time when the sport is literally making history before our eyes. In the past year alone, we have seen a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the very first time. The spectacular NASCAR Hall of Fame opened its doors. The Cup Series crowned its first-ever four-time consecutive champion. And just days ago, a driver won the elusive racing trifecta, with victories in all three of NASCAR’s top three series – the Camping World Truck Series, the Nationwide Series, and the Sprint Cup Series — in a single week, on a single track. That driver was Kyle Busch. To draw a comparison, what Busch accomplished at Bristol Motor Speedway is the rough equivalent of going to Augusta National and scoring holes-in-one on the infamous No. 4 par 3 ‘Flowering Crab Apple’ with a driver, a putter and a 5 iron in three consecutive rounds. It’s almost impossible to comprehend. Naturally one would assume that in the ensuing days and even weeks, this feat would be a major topic of discussion in the media, at the office, and during the always entertaining game of “Armchair Official” fans like to play on Sundays after the race. Nope. The threerace sweep has been mentioned, but only in passing. Instead, center stage has been occupied by an incident during the August 20 Nationwide Series race. An on-track version of “your mama” occurred, eventually resulting in the No. 22 Dodge of Brad Keselowski spinning into the corner while Busch’s No. 18 Toyota pirouetted its way into Victory Lane. Busch and Keselowski have emerged as polarizing figures, the NASCAR equivalent of oysters. You either love them or, to put it nicely … you don’t. When we have heard the phrase “on-track incident” during the 2010 NASCAR season, it has often been accompanied by the phrase “Brad Keselowski.” The young driver, in only his first season of full-time Cup Series competition, has raised the ire of guys like Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch. So far. Some say Keselowski

is long on talent, but short on both restraint and respect. He refuses to back down when going up against more seasoned competitors on the track. He’s not above a little public PG13 name-calling when he feels the situation warrants it. He is sometimes aggressive to the point of being dangerous behind the wheel. Not that Kyle Busch is a stranger to feuds, by any means. The list of fellow drivers he’s had “issues” with includes Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Burton – that’s a tough one, because SUNDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

elevate both our interest level and our blood pressure week after week, race after race. We may once again be watching history in the making, as these two could have the potential to inspire a rivalry as heated and long-lasting as that of Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt. That would be something to see, because love them or not, these bad boys are very good for NASCAR. NASCAR Columnist Cathy can be contacted at cathyelliott@hotmail.com.

pion Jimmie Johnson? No one seems to be all that worried about his prospects in the Chase, so he hasn’t been the hottest of topics. Dale Jr.? A lot of folks seem to have given up on him weeks ago. Jeff Gordon? Quietly consistent and already locked into the Chase, he’s someone we’ll circle back around to after the race at Richmond.

owski would be Public Enemy No. 1 right now. A lot of people seem to be taking his side on this one not because of who he is, but because of who he isn’t — Kyle Busch. That’s curious, because if there’s anyone out there who might actually be able to turn Kyle Busch into a sympathetic figure, it’s BK. It is very telling to look back on the season so far and reflect on the drivers we have talked about most.

Burton rarely has issues with anyone — David Reutimann and even congenial Casey Mears. Some say that if you’re looking for a fight, just find the No. 18 and wait a while. It’ll happen. Increasingly, we’re hearing the same thing about young Mr. Keselowski. Throughout the excitement at Bristol, Busch seemed to be cast in the role of Big Bad Wolf while Keselowski played poor defenseless Little Red Riding Hood. But why? If you recast this scene with Brad and someone like Dale Jr. instead of Kyle, Kesel-

How to beat temptation

If you ever have stopped by the store to pick up milk and walked out with a big-screen TV, you know the power of temptation. As weak as we may feel at times, it is possible to face down temptation and win. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Identify the weakness. Fess up. What are your areas of temptation? Clothes, shoes, collectibles? Movies, food, gadgets? Electronics, crafts, plants? What tempts me doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faze my husband. He could go for the rest of his life without the slightest desire to buy more fabric, but put me in a craft store or quilt shop and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a shopping disaster just waiting to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stop flirting with danger. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to beat temptation, you must stop cozying up to the very thing that causes you to stumble. If you are easily tempted by clothes, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend hours cruising the mall. In fact, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go there unless you have a specific need and a reasonable plan to fulfill it. If mail-order catalogs are your weakness, take them out to the garbage and push them down to the bottom to head off a middle-of-the-night retrieval. If eBay is your weakness, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t log on. Is it QVC or the Home Shopping Network? Delete the channel from your lineup. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Develop a diversion. Temptation usually is

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE

MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist fueled by emotion, not by reason. When temptation whispers in your ear, you need to divert your attention to something equally enjoyable but less injurious to your financial health. Such as ironing. Or a book or crossword puzzle. Or a nap. You already know that my diversion is ironing. I love the soothing sound of a steam iron as it glides back and forth removing wrinkles and sending back a clean, fresh smell. My iron is always ready. I can divert temptation with the flip of a switch. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Identify true needs. Needs never are realized while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing in the aisle of a store, flipping through the pages of a catalog, surfing eBay or watching television. You realize your needs in the normal course of life. You, not retailers or advertisers, should set your agenda. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a need, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go shopping. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Assess the true cost.

When you spend compulsively, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing more than giving in to temptation. If you are paying with credit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building debt. If you pay with cash, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving up the opportunity to put that money to work for you for the rest of your life. The money you spend plus the forgone interest represents the real cost of spending. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seek accountability. It takes a great deal of courage and character to be accountable to another person for your actions and behaviors. Make a pact with your spouse or a friend. Set a dollar amount as your monthly or weekly allowance, and agree that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend more than that. Set boundaries, and ask for help to keep to them. Beating temptation is as rewarding as it is hard work. It takes commitment, tenacity and, for some, a great steam iron.
