Man arrested after stand-off with police BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
A man’s two-hour standoff with police ended Sunday morning when he fell through a ceiling while trying to elude arrest. Thomasville Police Department arrested Andrew Joseph Gordon, 35, of 212 Arthur Drive, Apt. 2-A, after responding to a domestic violence call early Sunday morning at his resi-

Cyclist stays focused on goal, despite bumps in the road BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
The road certainly hasn’t been easy. Since Chris Boone began training for his state-wide bike ride, he has battled tough workout sessions, two illnesses, grieving his father’s death, his mother-inlaw’s cancer diagnosis, his business burning to the ground and the destruction of his bicycle. But after all the training, all the bumps in the road, Boone approaches his final week before the ride with confidence. “I’ve loved the trainWANT TO HELP? ing,” said Boone, an avid bike rider from Bakersville, N.C. “I love the Chris Boone and BCH idea of getting up in the hope to raise $250,000 morning and going out over the course of the on my own and spending time on the bike.

East Davidson Academy of Finance program recognized BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

JD Hoye, president of National Academy Foundation, stands with Kim Cline, Academy of Finance director at East Davidson. The school’s Academy of Finance recently was awarded the Aldo Papone Award for Curriculum and Instruction.
Kim Cline sat stunned in her chair. The academy of finance director at East Davidson High School had listened and clapped appreciatively for the various schools standing up to receive one of the National Academy Foundation’s (NAF) five awards, just as she had every other year she attended the national conference. To hear her school’s Academy of Finance announced the winner of the 2010 Aldo Papone Award for Curriculum and Instruction, however, took her completely by surprise. “I was speechless,” Cline said. “I’m not sure that is normal for me, but honestly, I had no words for it.”
Out of 600 academies nationwide, NAF distributes five awards in various aspects of academic prowess at its annual convention, this year in Philadelphia on July 8. The Aldo Papone Award for Curriculum and Instruction — named for the retired chairman and chief executive office of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. — recognizes excellence in NAF’s academies that are on the leading edge of high school reform. “We worked very hard, and the kids are really learning, and we’re really preparing them for the 21st century,” said Cline, who added that the program began only nine years ago. “We have re-
Woodmen to honor first responders on Sept. 11 BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
On Sept. 11, a Davidson County nonprofit organization will be holding a ceremony to dedicate a symbol of American pride on a day remembered for all those who lost their lives nine years ago. Woodmen of the World, a fraternal benefit organization that was founded in 1890 and has lodges in both Denton and Lexington with nearly 750,000 members nationwide, is partnering with a Central Davidson High School Eagle Scout to dedicate a new flag pole and flag at the Davidson County Hospice Center on Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. The new Hospice center is located at 200 Hospice Way in Lexington, off of N.C. Highway 64, and all first responders are invited to attend. “We’re the second largest purchasers of American flags,” Danny Soles, Davidson County field representative for Woodmen of the World, said. “I give American flags out to school houses, fire departments and other nonprofits. Most of the flags you see around town, I’ve given them out.” Eagle Scout Aaron Springer had a project of putting a flag pole up at the new Hospice center, but found out it would cost around $1,800, Soles said. Woodmen of the World came in and supplied the pole and the flag, helping Springer complete his project at no cost. Denton Lodge 976 and Lexington Lodge 1069 are sharing the cost of the pole and the flag. Boy Scout Troop 200 already dug the hole and a side company helped them stand the pole. “We do an honor and remembrance program every year for 9/11,” said Soles. “All the lodges around will have stuff go-

This Week in History Sept. 2, 1978 A total of 9.60 inches of rain were recorded for August 1978 at the regional airport, more than double the month’s rainfall average of 4.30 inches. Early in the month, farmers feared tobacco crops would be ruined by the rain, but Davidson County had only a few scattered reports of plants drowning in low-level areas. Meteorologists have recorded 44.62 inches of rain for the year, well above the 29.10 inches which is average for the first eight months.
Aug. 29, 1981 Davidson County Civil Air Patrol Squadron Commander, W.C. Leamon, of Thomasville, assisted the Federal Aviation Administrator and the transportation supervisor from Atlanta in an investigation at the site of a single-engine plane crash which killed two Thomasville residents. The investigation determined the pilot was making a fly-by at about 60-75 feet above the air strip and may not have seen a high tension transmission cable that crossed the center of the air field diagonally. There was no fire, and Leamon said he believed the two victims in the plane — passenger and pilot — were killed on impact.

HEALTH Research slow to reďŹ ne alzheimer’s diagnostic LIFELONG HEALTH
DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
For millions of aging Americans, no illness causes more anxiety than Alzheimer’s disease. With even the tiniest hint of forgetfulness, alarm bells are set off and fearful patients insist that their memory is declining. This is particularly true for individuals with family histories of Alzheimer’s disease. Sadly, with respect to all the serious illnesses that afflict us, the advances in diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease have been especially disappointing. Despite a concerted research effort, our understanding of the true nature of the disease remains murky, accurate diagnosis during life is difficult, and treatment offers no more than a hollow promise that prescribed medications may provide one or two more years of independent life. Therapy may delay complete dependency and the need for placement in a nursing home. As the disease occurs predominantly in the oldest people, this pro-
tocol may lead to death from another cause before the final stages of the disease develop. From fundamentalresearch scientists to clinicians caring for patients to pharmaceutical companies developing medications, there is a clear understanding that curing this illness is not yet in sight. However, hope is high that an eventual cure will be developed and available within our lifetime. Because of these difficulties and the snail’s pace at which progress is being made, all of the major pharmaceutical companies have committed to pool resources in order to identify new approaches to treatment more rapidly. This collaboration may lead to new insights and breakthroughs in research. A large amount of research now is dedicated to arresting the disease long before permanent damage has occurred to the brain. Clinical trials are under way to try to stop the progression of the illness at multiple points. One medication may aim to eliminate deposits of abnormal proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients; another seeks to arrest the brain inflammation that accompanies the disease or to directly improve brain function and assist in returning memory to normal. To date, every promising trial has led to disappointing results. Alzheimer’s disease has a particularly slow progression, with ab-
normalities occurring in the brain 20 years before any symptom of memory loss appears. As a result, the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and the following drug treatments do not begin until the illness is well-entrenched. Many experts believe that effective treatment must begin much earlier, during the so-called preclinical stage, when pathology is present but symptoms are absent. This will require a great need for accurate diagnostic criteria. The National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health and the Alzheimer’s Association recently convened a panel of experts to define the diagnostic criteria for the preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s for those with early symptoms not sufficient to suggest Alzheimer’s, as well as criteria to increase the likelihood of correct Alzheimer’s diagnoses in symptomatic patients. These recommendations are now available to the scientific community and the general public. Though screening tests are not yet available, many clinics already have received inquiries for these “preclinical� Alzheimer’s screenings by individuals considered to be at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s. And in the very near future, commercial groups likely will be offering these tests for a fee. Currently, the diag-
nosis of preclinical Alzheimer’s is only important to the research scientists, who urge that these tests are not yet appropriate for clinical diagnostic purposes. To identify preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, researchers measure abnormal proteins that have been identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with the disease. They also use highly sophisticated functional image technologies, such as a positron emission tomography scan, which can identify some of the earliest changes occurring in Alzheimer’s. Let’s hope this research on the early inner workings of Alzheimer’s disease ultimately will lead to a treatment that can cure the illness. Until then, those at increased risk can delay the possible development of symptoms by engaging fully in life, exercising the mind and the body as much as possible, and committing fully to a heart-healthy lifestyle that includes treating and preventing heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Though the science has yet to offer much hope, patients always can take steps to promote health and prevent disease.

Ask ANYTIME
Will following a high-protein diet affect my kidneys? Question: I’ve been following a high-protein diet, but I recently read something about this adversely affecting my kidneys? I plan to ask my doctor about this, but do you know of any correlation? Answer: Good question, and one that used to come up pretty frequently when high-protein diets were all the rage. There are essentially two different scenarios that we need to address here. The first one involves those with a pre-existing kidney condition. In this instance, following a high-protein diet, and specifically the induction phases of some of the most popular programs, can lead to a steeper decline in function. For these individuals, high-protein diets are not recommended. The second scenario involves people with normal kidney function. There isn’t any research indicating that high-protein diets negatively impact these folks, but there’s an important caveat here that we can’t ignore. How do you know if you have normal kidney function? Do you really know if your kidneys are working as well as they should be? Many with renal insufficiency (an early condition of declining function) are asymp-

The 30-foot replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair resides in the center of downtown Thomasville, signiďŹ cant not only as the world’s largest chair - at least at one time but also because it represents much of the Chair City’s history. “It’s emblematic,â€? said Bill Colonna of the Thomasville Historic Preservation Commission. “Chairs were some of the ďŹ rst products that the community industry dealt with. It’s a symbol of the community’s early days.â€? Back in 1922, Thomasville Chair Company — now Thomasville Furniture Industries — made simple, sturdy, straight-back chairs almost exclusively. No one knows who ďŹ rst suggested the idea to erect a big chair to bring attention to the town’s principal manufacturer.
The ďŹ rst chair, constructed by Thomasville Chair Company in September 1922, took three men working 10 hours a day for one week with enough wood to build 100 regularsized chairs. It stood 13 feet and 6 inches tall. Weather and time eventually wore on the chair, and in 1936 the construction was taken down. In 1948, the Chamber of Commerce formed and talk began of erecting a new chair that could stand the test of time. Thomas W. Johnson — Thomasville Chair Company’s dean of designers — designed a reproduction of the Duncan Phyfe armchair, and James Buford Harvey — who built the concrete lion standing on Main Street — constructed the Big Chair out of concrete. Painted to appear made from wood, the completed chair
Question: I know stretching is incredibly important, but someone told me not to stretch before working out. This doesn’t sound right to me at all. Can you clarify? Answer: Whoever told you this is pretty smart. We all grew up with the notion that stretching prior to exercise would loosen up our muscles and help prevent injuries; however, recent research has proven otherwise. It is now generally accepted that doing static stretches prior to a workout will likely make you slower and weaker during your exercise sessions, and might actually increase your risk for injury. Your best bet would be to do some active, sport-specific movements beforehand to adequately prepare your muscles for work. Then, you can focus on stretching after your workout, when your muscles are warm and much more elastic.

stood 30 feet high. And it still stands today. “It has some nostalgia, too,â€? Colonna said. “It’s a symbol of the heart of the community at that time.â€? Aside from its fame as the largest chair worldwide, the Big Chair caught the attention of the nation in 1960 when vice-presidential candidate Lyndon B. Johnson greeted local supporters from atop the chair. Since then, the Big Chair has seen governors, university presidents, mayors and beauty queens, and it is listed in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. “That chair is very, very famous, and that chair will remain to stand up there on the corner for years to come,â€? Mayor Joe Bennett said. “It signiďŹ es that that’s what the city was all about in years past.â€?

FOCUS Pilot Lions eager to continue community service projects TIMES STAFF REPORT
Member SIPC Š Edward Jones, 2009
Even a rainy summer evening could not dampen the spirits of the Pilot Club of Thomasville as members began a new year in recommitment to serve the citizens of Thomasville and surrounding communities. Under the leadership of Joyce Nance, president, the club which is dedicated to friendship and service, will target specific needs such as people with potentially life-threatening diseases, brain-related disorders, and the elderly. Officers serving with Mrs. Nance are president-elect Renee Murdock; treasurer Rovilla Sellers; recording secretaries Alceon Gore and Jo Moore; and directors Carolyn Adams, Jennie Counts and Susan Wall. Most recent service projects included raising funds for the Thomasville Rescue Squad, awarding a scholarship to Juzl Garcia to attend Davidson County Community College, participated in Relay for Life, and, donated to Baptist Children’s Homes of NC Heritage Walk and Garden in honor of its 125th anniversary of serving North Carolina’s children and families. The Eva Alexander Pilot of the Year award was presented to two outstanding Pilots who have given of themselves to support Pilot Club in its endeavors to help with needs community-wide. Those Pilot members receiving this prestigious recognition are Carolyn Adams and Joyce Nance. Each in her own way has contributed to the betterment of the citizens of Thomasville and beyond. The local Pilot Club was recently recognized by the North Carolina District of Pilot International as a four-star club of excellence and the winner of the District’s most original fund raising event for 2009-10.

Customer service travels well VIEWPOINT
PETER FUNT Syndicated Columnist As Labor Day approaches and with it the end of the vacation season, many Americans are so stressed by the rigors of travel that they’re happy to have a vacation from vacations. Anyone who’s taken a plane ride recently knows how unpleasant the process has become — and we didn’t need a beer-toting, emergency-exiting, JetBlue flight attendant to confirm it. Although most airlines are reporting an upswing in passenger volume, customer service seems to have reached a record low. The nation’s hotel chains, which took a similar beating when the economy tanked, are also seeing modest improvement in occupancy. But here’s the twist: customer service — particularly among mid-priced hotels — is soaring and may be nearing an all-time high. Why are these two cornerstones of the travel business so diametrically different when it comes to pleasing customers? How is it that most hotel chains are battling to gain customers by serving them well, while major airlines seem audacious enough to seek passengers while treating them poorly? Most of my flying is on United Airlines, simply because it dominates the routes out of the small airport near my home in Central California. I’m often compelled to fly United despite its customer service, not because of it. On the road, I’ve become a big fan of Hilton’s Hampton Inn brand, not because of limited choices, but because I’m so impressed by the level of service and value I’ve experienced at many of Hampton’s 1,700 locations. The customer service dynamic is dramatically different between these two areas of the travel world. For a clear example of how the industries have diverged, look no further than the “points” or “mileage” award programs. The concept of earning free service by collecting points was invented by airlines roughly 30 years ago. Today, the airline programs are a mess, with trillions of unused miles and great frustration among fliers who accumulate points and then find how increasingly difficult it is to use them.
The Hilton Honors system on the other hand is simple, convenient and, best of all, it works. With very few exceptions, the hotel industry has not crippled its award programs with too many blackout dates or other restrictions. As a result, the programs foster consumer loyalty for all the right reasons. Another profound example is in ticky-tack charges. Airlines seem sold on the notion that charging separate fees for everything from luggage to pillows to boarding priority results in greater revenue, which earnings reports indicate it has. But at what expense? Most fliers are fuming. Hotels, meanwhile, are trending in the opposite direction. Wi-Fi connections, for example, were available at many hotels for an extra charge; now the industry has wised up and provided free Internet. The latest survey by J.D. Power and Associates shows increased satisfaction among North American hotel guests in every category measured. The top five hotel perks according to the survey are: free Internet, free breakfast, choice of bedding, pillow-top mattresses and free parking. Hampton Inn, like most of its mid-priced competitors, offers all these and more. Newspapers, toothpaste, coffee 24/7, a brown-bag snack for your journey — it’s all included in the basic rate. J.D. Power also reports a slight increase in satisfaction among airline passengers in the first half of 2010, but except for perennial standout Alaska Airlines, the uptick seems to reflect surrender by consumers rather than a vote of approval. It may be marginally less annoying to ride a plane than it was last year — although this summer’s crowded conditions may change that — but nearly onehalf of passengers surveyed say that prices for in-flight beverages and food, checked baggage, and preferred seating are unreasonably high. Consolidation of airlines has left fliers with little leverage. Other factors impacting air travel, from security to yo-yoing fuel prices, make it tough on carriers as well as their passengers. But there is something fundamentally wrong with the airlines’ approach to customer service — and it’s vividly clear when compared with the strides taken by hotel chains. Someone once said, “getting there is half the fun,” but nowadays the travel industry is changing the equation.
Just like Stephan Curry VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist “We wish he would stay just a little longer. But it was three great years and we wish him well as he takes on an even bigger assignment.” That is what folks at Davidson College said last year when Stephan Curry opted out of his senior year and a chance for one more year with the Wildcat basketball team. Those same words are coming out of the same mouths as Davidson gets used to giving up the man who served as its president for the last three years, Tom Ross. Last week the UNC Board of Governors named the Davidson president to succeed Erskine Bowles at the end of the year. Ross will be the 17th UNC president. But he is only the fifth since the 1971 reorganization and consolidation of all state universities. William Friday, C.D. Spangler, Molly Broad and Bowles are Ross’s immediate predecessors. As a North Carolinian with limited experience in the complex world of public higher education, Ross seems to fit the model of Spangler and Bowles. Like them, he brings a reputation
of dedicated and unselfish public service and a native’s understanding of North Carolina culture and politics, Although he does not have the national credentials and career experience that Molly Broad brought to the job, his three years at Davidson and his service as Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation Executive Director give him more experience in higher education issues than either Spangler or Bowles had at the beginning. Like them, Ross brings a demonstrated ability to manage complex organizations and tackle new challenges. Because of his Davidson experience and my observation of his success in dealing with the state legislature as a representative of the justice system, I mentioned Ross as a possibility for the UNC job in this column back in February. But even though I thought he was perfect for the job, I believed that he would be a long-shot candidate. I was afraid his relative short time in higher education leadership would overshadow his assets as a leader in the North Carolina public arena. Maybe I underestimated the wisdom of the search committees. Or maybe Ross just simply fit perfectly the profile of the kind of servant leader they wanted. Now that the selection process is over, how will Ross compare to his predecessors? One of them, Bowles, with typical modesty, was heard to say, “He’ll be a much better president than I am.” That might be too high a performance bar to set. In his five years of service,
Bowles’s example of committed hard work and success will be a hard act to follow. However, Ross seems ready to challenge Bowles at least on the modesty front. “I’ve got a lot to learn, and ... I know that I’m going to have to jump right in, that I’ll make mistakes. And I just hope people will be patient and understand and know that I’m giving it all I have.” He also said, “I am far from perfect and I am no miracle worker, but I am committed to the task at hand.” Maybe not miracles, but Ross has shown he can make the most of challenging situations. And he probably knows that the Presbyterians at Davidson, along with people of all faiths all over North Carolina, will be praying for him. They should also pray for the somethingclose-to-a-miracle that it is going to take to keep the university strong, given the state’s economic situation and competing priorities. Postscript: Ross will have Davidson-related company in the high levels of university administration. East Carolina Athletics Director Terry Holland; N.C. State Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford; and UNC-Chapel Hill Associate Deans Bill Andrews and Jamie May are Davidson alums. D.G.

OBITUARIES
POLICE From page 1 the residence and went in to find Gordon laying at the bottom of a stairwell. Apparently, Gordon had climbed into an attic crawl space and fell through the ceiling, landing some 15 feet below on a stairwell near a neighboring apartment. Police arrested Gordon, who suffered minor injuries in the fall, without incident. Gordon did not have the gun on him when he was arrested but police found the weapon a short time later, Mills said. “He was trying to leave the residence through this crawl space in the attic,” said Mills. “He had his girlfriend’s phone and was trying to tell us he was in High Point and not in the apartment. We knew that was not true based on the fact that we had locked down the entire complex. He wanted to wait us out in hopes we would think he really was in High Point. We weren’t buying into him being gone and were pretty adamant that he was still in there. “He fell through the ceiling and miraculously was not severely injured. He was intoxicated and did become belligerent after the arrest. Officers were right there when we heard the noise of him falling thorough the ceiling. The phone he was talking on was smashed. I think the ceiling insulation cushioned his fall. He was very lucky. Anyone else, it may have killed them. Our officers went by the book and we were glad to resolve it rather quickly. No one was hurt during the course of the arrest.” TPD charged Gordon with domestic assault on a female, resist, delay and obstruction of a police officer and damage to real property. TPD also served outstanding warrants on Gordon for communicating threats, threatening phone calls, domestic assault and breaking and entering. He was placed in Davidson County Jail under no bond. Gordon is scheduled to appear in Thomasville District Court on Oct. 15. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

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!”

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer CHARLOTTE — Playing well during the preseason doesn’t necessarily reflect how a team will perform once the games start counting for real. In 2008, the Detroit Lions went undefeated in the preseason only to lose every single game from there on out. What coaches like to see from preseason games is progress, signs of positive things to come, both offensively and defensively. After failing to score an offensive touchdown in their first two preseason contests, the Carolina Panthers came into Saturday night’s home game against the Tennessee Titans at Bank of America Stadium looking for answers and, more importantly, the end zone. Even though Carolina won, 15-7, the offense has yet to score a touchdown, and with one preseason game remaining, the Panthers are running out of time and fast in getting the kinks worked out. “A win is a win,” Carolina quarterback Matt Moore said. “We wanted to move the ball and be efficient and, at times, we were able to do that. Hats off to the defense, they played ridiculous.” Moore is one of a host of new faces for the Panthers following an offseason that saw the Cats part ways with familiar names like Jake Delhomme, Julius Peppers and former Ledford star Brad Hoover. Carolina got younger on both sides of the ball in an effort to improve on last year’s 8-8 record that ended without a trip to the playoffs. Through three preseason games, however, the new-look Panthers offense still revolves around the leg of kicker Jon Kasey, and the old chants of “HOOOOVER”

were replaced by “BOOOs” from the fans, who wanted to see the offense score at least one touchdown. The Cats lone touchdown came off a 91-yard kick-off return by Mike Goodson, who always seems to save his best for August. “We had nowhere to go but up from last week,” said head coach John Fox, referring to his team’s loss against the New York Jets a week earlier. “We’ve been getting better every week and really grabbed the bull by the horns. We still have a lot of work to do.” Carolina will be relying on the play of young offensive players who have yet to prove themselves on the big stage. Receivers Dwayne Jarrett and Brandon

CHAPEL HILL — The North Carolina football program may have a twopronged NCAA investigation hanging over it, but the probes into agents and academics did not put a damper on the annual “Meet the Heels” event at Kenan Stadium
on Saturday. Many more UNC fans than last year showed up to get autographs from players and Coach Butch Davis, who had one of the longest lines at the event. All the Tar Heels on the roster were present and signing footballs, although which ones will be available to play this season still is up in the
air. Senior defensive tackle Marvin Austin and senior wide receiver Greg Little are at the center of the initial NCAA investigation, which began in July, about the possibility that players received illegal benefits or had improper contact with agents. Both were all smiles as they posed for pictures

Boris Said (No. 09) noses out Max Papis during Sunday’s Nationawide race in Montreal.
MONTREAL — At long last, road-course ace Boris Said is a winner in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Said won Sunday’s NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve when — with the two strongest cars out of contention — the always unpredictable event ended with Said beating Max Papis in a drag race to the finish line. After leader Robby Gordon ran out of gas on a greenwhite-checkered-flag finish
that sent the race three laps past its scheduled distance of 74 laps, Said lost the lead to Papis at the entrance to the final two corners. But Papis’ momentum sent him wide in Turn 14, and Said drew alongside at the top of the final straightaway. Papis lost a fraction of a second when he hit the rev limiter in second gear but still had enough to race side by side with Said all the way to the finish line. Said’s .012-second margin of

SPORTS SAID From page 7 victory was the closest ever on a road course in the Nationwide Series, the fifth closest overall in series history and the closest since 1998 at HomesteadMiami Speedway. The victory was more than just a first for Said, 47. It was the first Nationwide win for car owner Robby Benton and the first for the new pairing of Said and crew chief Scott Zipadelli. “I don’t think we had the fastest car today,â€? Said admitted, “but we definitely had the smartest race strategy with Scott Zipadelli as the crew chief — the first time I ever worked with him. We had great communication, he called a great race, and it was really about managing the racetrack, managing your brakes. “I’m shocked ‌ overwhelmed. I thought I was going to cry, but I didn’t. My wife would have made fun of me. But I was pretty happy.â€? Local hero Jacques Villeneuve finished third, followed by Brad Keselowski, who extended his series lead to 365 points over hard-luck 20th-place finisher Carl Edwards. Paul Menard ran fifth, with Joey Logano, J.R. Fitzpatrick, Parker Kligerman, Justin Allgaier and Trevor Bayne completing the top 10.
The race that gave polesitter Marcos Ambrose another heartbreak (he retired with an electrical problem after leading 25 laps) turned on a bad break — literally — for defending winner Edwards, who led a race-high 29 laps before breaking the track bar on his No. 60 Ford as caution flew with eight laps left in regulation. Edwards held a lead of almost three seconds over Gordon when Michael Annett slid into the Turn 4 wall to cause the fifth caution of the race, ending a green-flag run of 42 laps. Two more late cautions forced overtime and prolonged the race enough to empty Gordon’s fuel tank. Gordon led the field to the green flag for a restart on Lap 76 but coasted to a stop before completing the circuit. He finished 14th. But it was the drag race to the finish between Said and Papis that had the more than 70,000 fans on their feet. “I was ahead, I was behind, I was ahead,â€? said Papis, who was driving Kevin Harvick’s No. 33 Chevrolet. “At the end of the day, this was an amazing race. I had a blast. It came down to a green-white-checker, and the thing I’m the most proud of ‌ this is maybe the first time I’ve had the chance to really sit in a car that legitimately can win, and it came down to the last corner. “For me, I’m really proud. I know it’s a second-place finish, but it’s equal to one of my best wins.â€?
FANS From page 7 “It’s football season,� Burney said. “I’m ready to play.� Senior cornerback Charles Brown also declined to comment but did shoot down an online report that he had been kicked off the team. “I don’t know where that came from,� Brown said. Senior linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant also declined to comment. Assistant coach John Blake, who reportedly is
being investigated by the NCAA about his relationship with prominent NFL agent Gary Wichard, also gave a “no comment.� It did not appear that any fans asked the players or Davis about the ongoing investigations, and most fans in attendance still appeared enthusiastic about the upcoming season. “I have been ready for football since November, because any other season is wasted,� George Rawlins of Reidsville said. Rawlins has had season tickets for 31 years and said he supports UNC football no matter what. He said Austin is his fa-

Dante Rosario tries to pull in a catch away from Titans’ defender Chris Hope Saturday.
PANTHERS From page 7
Lavell, a rookie from LSU, are vying for time across from perennial star Steve Smith following the retirement of Mushin Muhammed. Second-year fullback Tony Fiametta takes over for Hoover and Moore is entering his first season as the undisputed starter after ending 2009 with a 4-1 record. When the season kicks off Sept. 12 at the New York Giants, just how well these players adjust to their new roles will determine whether or not the Panthers return to the playoffs. “We have a lot of guys who are capable of stepping up and making plays,� said Moore. “We’re constantly trying to get better as a unit. It takes time. It was nice to come out with a win.� Whatever is ailing the offense has not affected Carolina’s defense. The Panthers held the Titans to under 50 yards of offense in the first half, including limiting last year’s top rusher, Chris Johnson, to a mere 10 yards on eight carries. Defensive ends Everette Brown and Charles Johnson appear ready to step in for Peppers, who left as a free agent for the Chicago Bears after spending all of his eight-year career in Charlotte. Linebackers Jon Beason and Dan Connor were all over the field Saturday night making plays in holding Tennessee to a pair of field goals. The Cats have registered 18 sacks and have only given up 33 points in the preseason.
“I thought we played really well against a tough offensive line and a team with a lot of weapons,� Connor said. “The defensive line freed us up to where we could read and react. I’m feeling more comfortable to where I can help in the running and passing game. Our system is a lot of fun to play in.� Truth be told, the Panthers have not played with their full compliment of weapons offensively. DeAngelo Williams has played sparingly and Jonathan Stewart has yet to see the field as he recovers from offseason ankle surgery. The duo became the first pair of running backs in NFL history to eclipse 1,100 yards rushing in the same season last year, and the offense will undoubtedly go as far as their legs will carry it. Smith also has not played while mending from a pair of arm injuries. Now is the time for other players to make a name for themselves. “We’ve got some receivers who are getting their chance,� said Fox. “We’re still without our main playmakers on offense.� With one preseason game left, the starters will not see the field long this Thursday night at Pittsburgh. Fans will have to wait until the season opener against the Giants on Sept. 12 to see just how good this year’s Panthers squad is going to be. After scoring six field goals in three games so far, seeing a drive lead to the end zone would be a good start. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

one to be willing to rise and accept that challenge to help a child because they need hope, they need help, that’s just inspiring.” Boone rode a proposed route in stages a few weeks ago, testing out the terrain, and has since shifted both the path and starting time. He now will depart from the post office in Murphy, N.C., on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 10 p.m. and arrive at the post office in Manteo, N.C., at about 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 9. The biker plans on passing through Lexington at around 3 p.m. on Sept. 8. The most pressing reason for the shift stems from traffic issues. “We didn’t want to be in Asheville during rush hour,” Boone said. “We moved the start time up a few hours to get out of Asheville. That still puts us in Raleigh in the late night.” Vehicle congestion was one thing Boone didn’t have to worry about when he broke the record for the Blue Ridge Parkway, riding the 470 miles from Cherokee, N.C. to Rockfish Gap, Va., in 29 hours and 36 minutes. For RideNC2010, he’ll have one support vehicle dedicated solely to keeping him updated on traffic patterns ahead. “We’re going to be fighting traffic,” Boone said. “That’s going to be the experience, is trying to deal with all that. That’s one part I don’t look forward to. We’ll just deal with that when it comes.” But traffic isn’t the only threat looming on the horizon of Boone’s big race. Even if Hurricane Earl wasn’t threatening
the North Carolina coast — an issue that Boone can only laugh and shrug his shoulders at — the biker says that in a ride this long, any number of things can pop up. “We’ll just have to take it,” he said. “I wish it would come head on. Then we’d have something everyone could remember. That’s the thing — making a good memory. It’s exciting.” Boone’s workouts have tapered somewhat as the ride approaches. He plans for one more 200-mile excursion before the big race, which he will mentally break up into five segments of 100 miles. Surprisingly, throughout his months of hard work, the physical training hasn’t been the hardest, Boone says. What takes the biggest toll is stress on family and job. “It’s overwhelming,” Boone said. “People don’t realize that you’re having to pretty much live to ride this and plan everything around it. It puts a lot of stuff on the back burner. My kids have been real supportive, and my wife. It’s become a family event.” So familial, in fact, that Boone’s wife will be one of his crew, following him in a car and passing food and water to him as he trudges on. Trials and tribulations aside, however, Boone says he no longer doubts for a second that all the pain has been worth it. He may have hesitated at the beginning, he will admit, but after seeing the energy with which his crew embraced the challenge and after meeting a few of BCH’s children, he hasn’t looked back. One little boy, in particular, tugs at Boone’s heartstrings. Boone met him in the child’s first few days at
Get Connected!
the home, and the two hit it off instantly. “He looked up at me the first time I met him, and I felt like he was looking at a father figure,” Boone said. “I’ve got to do it for him, just to let him know that I’m not going to let him down. He’s a part of it. If I do the record, or it’s hard and there’s a hurricane, but I pull through and get to the end, then the kids will know that it can be done — for them.” BCH has a few plans to make the journey just that much easier for Boone. Not only has the organization mustered together prayer groups at Baptist churches across the state, but it is in the process of organizing rallies along the biker’s route. “Residents and boys and girls will be out there to celebrate,” Ragsdale said. “They will be able to get out there, and he will be — very briefly — in the midst of the people that he’s working for.” And Boone says that emotional uplift will be something to remember.
“That’s going to be one of the highlights of the ride, I think,” Boone said. “For me to come and stop and speak to them — even if it costs the record, I’d like to spend some time with them. And maybe they can throw a couple gallons of water on my head.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.

ally come a long way with the program. It’s amazing what our faculty has done with these students. They’ve really taken it to the next level.” NAF serves as a partnership between business leaders and educators and strives to support the development of students towards personal and professional success, both in high school and beyond. Recipients of NAF’s five awards get not only a plaque but also $5,000, which Cline says East Davidson’s Academy of Finance will use for student scholarships, awards and program support. “That money will be used to go back toward the students,” Cline said. “That’s the whole mission — to better prepare these students for the real world.” The only Academy of Finance in Davidson County, the program wasn’t the first NAF academy in the area. Davidson County Schools Public Relations Officer Meredith Palmer says that the county offers six academies: finance, medical, pre-engineering, Air Force, biotechnology and bio-medical. “Students who have that particular interest or think they might really want to go into that particular field can use their elective courses in

Code Orange health notice issued
RALEIGH — Air quality officials issued health notices Monday for air pollution in the Charlotte, Hickory, Triangle, Rocky Mount, Fayetteville and Triad areas today. Forecasters have predicted Code Orange conditions in the Charlotte, Hickory, Triangle, Rocky Mount, Fayetteville and Triad areas, which means that air quality in these areas is likely to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The Code Orange forecast means people who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid moderate exertion outdoors in the afternoon. Sensitive groups include children and the elderly who are active outside, people who work or exercise outdoors, and those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments.
high school not to take a variety of interests but to take courses that are related to that finance major, that finance interest,” Palmer said. “Their whole high school curriculum would be keeping an eye on that finance academy, which is a certification that comes with their high school diploma.” For example, when students in the Academy of Finance register for their required math course, they will sign up for the TUESDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

“For a high school kid to walk into an accounting firm and understand what ledgers and debits and credits are is really amazing,” said Cline, who added that a few of her students have continued to work-part time for their internship companies and are looking at full-time jobs when they graduate college. Such a focused path in high school courses not only gives students an opportunity to function at a higher level, earn college
credit and gain scholarships, but also lets them fully explore a subject of interest in order to verify if it is something they want to pursue later in life. “We’re just really glad to have an opportunity to help these kids in that capacity and give them an opportunity,” Cline said. “It’s so important, especially in today’s economy, to understand not only our business lives but also to understand our personal lives.”

As the students move up in years, their curriculum grows more advanced, until senior year kids are required to prepare a business model — complete with a product and a preview on expanding the business overseas — on which they will give a 20 to 30-minute presentation.

Once a student signs up for the Academy of Finance, he or she is enrolled in principals of finance and accounting, which teaches personal finance and budgeting.
