United Way celebrates campaign Pacesetters
Community unites in support of Thorntons

United Way of Davidson County celebrated its Pacesetter luncheon Tuesday, marking the end to the beginning of the organization’s campaign and occurring almost simultaneously with the release of its new Web site. Held at the Tom A. Finch YMCA, the luncheon boasted a crowd of about 70 loaned executives, board members, representatives of the 16 Pacesetter companies
A simple phone call made all the difference in the world. Kate Thornton, a fiveyear old Thomasville girl who is battling leukemia, had only been out of the hospital a day when the phone rang Saturday morning. On the other end was pop star Joe Jonas, a member of the famous band the Jonas Brothers, who would spend the next 30 minutes trying to cheer up a little girl who desperately needed it. “[Kate] was so happy,” Kat Manzella, Kate’s godmother, said. “She kept telling him how much she loved him. We couldn’t believe it was really him. He absolutely made her day. It was the cutest thing ever. She was so excited and it was a good day. With so few good days, that one really counted.” Jonas learned of Kate’s plight from someone who read about her story and wanted to help. Since Kate’s prognosis took a turn for the worst last Tuesday, acts of kindness have been flooding the Thornton family. Kisses4Kate, a nonprofit organization that is trying to raise money to put the Thornton family in a new home suitable for Kate’s many medical needs, has

and partner agencies. Pacesetter companies are those who agreed to hold campaigns in the month of August, kick-starting United Way’s campaign, which spans from Sept. 1 to Nov. 15. So far, the companies have raised $139,362.32 via internal fundraisers such as jean day, bake sales and jewelry sales. “They’re setting the pace for the rest of the campaign — they’re leaders for the campaign,” said Kristi Hege of United

he 8-month-old pit mix puppy limped along the street. Every few steps he paused, squatted into a semisitting position and attempted to scratch his red and inflamed hide. Kathy Young’s heart leaped into her throat at the pathetic site. A Humane Society of Davidson County volunteer, Young was delivering dog food to a gentleman in the neighborhood. She asked him who the dog belonged to, and he indicated a house across the street. As Young approached the house, the puppy began walking up to the door. A woman came
T
out, bending down to pet the animal. Despite the familiarity between human and dog, the woman denied that she owned him. Young just couldn’t leave the puppy there, not in the state he was in. She wrapped him up with a sheet and transported him to Thomasville Veterinary Hospital, dubbing him “Saturday” for the day she found him — Aug. 28. “What’s troubling is I don’t understand how people on that street could watch this puppy go up and down the street and not call, not do something,” Young said. “The condition of this little guy is just incredible.” Besides the red rash on his skin, Young could tell Saturday was under-fed and dehydrated. “You could put your fingers in between each rib,” she said.
“It was just so sad. When we got him to the vet he would no longer stand up. He was jut done.” The vet diagnosed him with hook worms and demodectic mange, a non-contagious disease caused by a microscopic mite that lives inside hair follicles. “These mites are in every dog,” said Dr. Karl B. Milliren, veterinarian and founder of the hospital. “It just doesn’t cause a problem when the immune system is keeping it at bay.” If the immune system weakens, however, the mites can cause serious skin disease. Saturday contracted a more serious form — generalized demodicosis — which affects the entire dog, causing patchy fur, skin infections and scaly skin.

BUSINESS
Responsibility Revolution: Come on in TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist
Unroll the blueprint laid out by Hollender and Breen in The Responsibility Revolution a little further and you’ll see an agenda item called: Bring Consumers Inside. The idea is that good companies really listen to their customers and outside stakeholders. They interact with them as a part of the innovation process — resting on the old idea that two heads are better than one. Think of the customer involvement continuum and how it has shifted through the years. Once upon a time, customers were “sold� products and services that only internal producers envisioned. Henry Ford’s classic quote on automobile color options comes to mind: “Any colour — so long as it’s black.� Today’s customers are not only given options, they are also much more likely to be asked to cocreate them. I recently attended a business lunch meeting where consumers were asked to share their personal stories, while taking in information on new services and munching on free food. This type of interaction, I believe, is at the heart of what it means to “bring
consumers inside�. Producers and suppliers can greatly increase their understanding of customers wants and needs through such interaction. Certainly, better mouse traps can be built if the producer gets how, when, where and why the customer plans to use it. (Of course, a little study on mice behavior would help as well!) Bringing consumers in also honors the spirit of Stephen Covey’s Habit No. 4 – “Seek first to understand, then to be understood� improving communication and collaboration. OK. So, bringing in consumers may be a good idea — but what about bringing in critics? Hollender and Breen introduce solid examples of big players like Patagonia, Timberland and Nike who are seeking to win allies and collaborate with their critics. Let’s examine one ... Enter Novo Nordisk, a Danish health care company that supplies a big part of the world’s insulin. An advocate for full scale transparency, they had to pour it on when animal welfare activists (in the 90s) shot undercover footage of animals kept in deplorable conditions in their contract labs. This would be a great opportunity for spin and damage control, right? Here’s what Responsibility Revolution reveals: “Novo’s reaction was a singular example of business as UNUSUAL. Company representatives met with their adversaries to hear their complaints firsthand. Not long after, Novo Nordisk announced the first if many sit-downs
with activists, including the Danish Animal Welfare Society and other groups, which lead to a long-standing collaboration and world-leading standards for humanely housing experimental animals.� Things did not go hunky-dory right away, we’re told, and that the entire process had plenty of skeptics. But slowly, a rough consensus emerged that has proven to allow Novo to address the concerns of animal activists and to thrive as a company. Is this what Covey called a “Win-Win?� Could we, in our local businesses, be inspired to innovate with the help of consumers and critics?

JOSEF WALKER Guest Columnist I always try to be positive. There truly is “good” in just about everything if you just look for it. For example, instead of saying, “There were very few parishioners in church today.” You might say, “I wasn’t even early and had no trouble at all finding a parking place.” Instead of saying, “It looked like half the choir was missing this morning.” You might say, “Have you ever noticed how roomy it is in the chancel area? The choir wasn’t crowded at all. I bet they liked that, they often complain about being too warm but spread out like that I’m sure they were comfortable.” Most choir directors realize that during summer months church attendance may not be a major priority for the choir. Actually, this is a good thing because they deserve a vacation, too. The choir leads in rituals, responses, anthems and hymns on a weekly basis. While most of the congregation is doing

something that brings them personal pleasure mid-week, like going out for pizza, enjoying soccer, the cinema or watching the ubiquitous tv, a dedicated group of fellow church members are taking seriously their vow to support their church with their attendance, time and talent. Having said that, there is almost always room for a new member in any church choir. Most volunteer singers don’t really know what part they sing. Most men are truly baritones, although they may claim to be a bass or tenor. Most women are second sopranos, although they may claim to be a contralto or lyric soprano. There are advantages to singing all parts. Your director of music can help you identify your true vocal range. It may be that your’s is the voice truly needed in the choir, if not he will be tactful and encourage you to continue to “make a joyful noise” from your pew. Here is the Top Ten List for each of the vocal parts. Enjoy!
Top Ten Reasons for Being A Soprano 1. The rest of the choir exists just to make you look good. 2. You can entertain your friends by breaking their wine glasses. 3. Can you name
an opera where an alto got the man? 4. When sopranos want to sing in the shower, they know the tune. 5. It’s not like you are ever going to sing the alto part by accident. 6. Great costumes — like the hat with the horns on it. 7. How many world famous altos can you name? 8. When the fat lady sings, she’s usually singing soprano. 9. When you get tired of singing the tune, you can sing the descant. 10. You can sing along with Michael Jackson.
Top Ten Reasons for Being An Alto 1. You get really good at singing E flat. 2. You get to sing the same note for 12 consecutive measures. 3. You don’t really need to warm up to sing 12 consecutive bars of E flat. 4. If the choir is really bad, it’s unlikely the altos will be blamed. 5. You have lots of time to chat during soprano solos. 6. You get to pretend that you are better than the sopranos, because everybody knows that women only sing soprano so they don’t have to learn to read music. 7. You can sometimes find part-time work singing tenor.
8. Altos get all the great intervals. 9. When the sopranos are holding some outrageously high note at the end of an anthem, the altos always get the last words. 10. When the altos miss a note, nobody gets hurt.
Top Ten Reasons for Being A Tenor 1. Tenors get high — without drugs. 2. Name a musical where the bass got the girl. 3. You can show the sopranos how it should be sung. 4. Did you ever hear of anyone paying $1,000 for a ticket to see “The Three Basses?” 5. Who needs brains when you’ve got resonance. 6. Tenors never have to waste time looking through the self-improvement section of the bookstore. 7. You get to sing along with John Denver singing “High Calypso.” 8. When you get really good at falsetto, you can make tons of money doing voice-overs for cartoon characters. 9. Gregorian chant was practically invented for tenors. Nobody invented a genre for basses. 10. You can entertain your friends by impersonating Julia Child.
Top Ten Reasons for
Being A Bass 1. You don’t have to tighten you shorts to reach your note. 2. You don’t have to worry about a woman stealing your job. 3. Or a pre-adolescent boy. 4. Action heroes are always basses.

The generic race VIEWPOINT
SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist Gallup is out this week with a new poll showing the generic Republican beating the generic Democrat in House contests by 10 points. The gap, Gallup points out, is the biggest one it has seen in midterm generic polls since it started doing them. It is substantially larger than the gap in 1994, when Republicans took control of the House in the first midterm election of the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton. Does that mean it’s time for Republicans to start picking the drapes for their new leadership offices? Should Nancy Pelosi be packing up her gavel? Not so fast. In a choice between being 10 points ahead or 10 points behind, any hack worth her salt will tell you that 10 points ahead is better. But there are enough “buts” in generic polls to make any predictions at this point wildly premature. First of all, polls are snapshots, not predictors. They tell you where folks are now, which is not necessarily where they’ll be some 10 weeks from now. Politics and public opinion are volatile; every pollster I know will tell you generic polls jump around. Secondly, generic candidates don’t run. The generic Republican is not facing the generic Democrat in any district in America. Real candidates sometimes do much better — or much worse — than their generic equivalents, depending on all kinds of factors that don’t go into the generic test. Virtually everyone in Congress gets re-elected every two years, even as people complain about how little they think of Congress. People hate Congress overwhelmingly, but most of them make an exception for the particular person who represents them — who helped find a lost Social Security check, spoke at their kid’s graduation or welcomed them to their office. Incumbents do much better than generics any day. Thirdly, the Republican Party is showing a number of signs that it is more than capable of stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. The tea party movement has brought real and genuine enthusiasm to the GOP, but it has also brought real divisiveness. Could Harry Reid beat the generic Republican? Not easily. Could he beat tea partier and
political newcomer Sharron Angle? Much more likely. Every Democrat I know is rooting for Palin-favorite Joe Miller to come out on top of incumbent Lisa Murkowski in Alaska precisely because she’s running about 30 points better than he is against the Democrat in a general election contest. Republicans hardly have a monopoly on choosing the candidate who is least likely to win, but in this cycle, at least, they’re way ahead of the Democrats on that score. It may not be thanks to the administration (which, after all, supported brand-new Democrat Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania over the eminently more electable Joe Sestak). But the Democrats have ended up with a stronger slate of candidates than a party with problems may deserve. Lastly, for all the problems with the Democratic agenda, at least there is one. What swept the Republicans to victory in 1994 was not (just) running against the administration, but the perception that they had a unifying agenda — a Contract with America — and were ready to govern. The Republicans have every reason to want to nationalize this election (after all, the generic Republican is a national construct). But other than being against everything the president is for, they have yet to put forth anything resembling a governing plan. Organizers of last week’s Lincoln Memorial rally have gone out of their way to say it wasn’t about politics, but about faith and spirituality. In addition to making some people nervous about the idea of one group judging the faith and spirituality of others (as in Glenn Beck saying he doesn’t recognize the president’s brand of Christianity, and one of Beck’s rally partners, evangelist leader Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, telling NPR he doesn’t recognize Beck’s), the focus on faith over politics highlights the void as to the latter. What all this means is not that Democrats will hold on to the House come next fall, but that they can — and that even if they don’t, it hardly spells doom for the president. The one area where the gap between the parties is clearest is that of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm comes from activists and ideologues. Instead of attacking them, this president and his team have to remember to spend some time wooing them. Clinton lost the House in 1994, but he won re-election handily, in part by running against the Republican Congress. All of which suggests that there are occasions when one must be careful what they wish for.
Nation building: Is it worth it? VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist In the 1959 film “The Mouse That Roared,” an imaginary European nation called the Duchy of Grand Fenwick declares war on the U.S. “There isn’t a more profitable undertaking for any country than to declare war on the United States and to be defeated,” explains the nation’s military leader. So it goes. The staunchly rational New York Times right-of-center columnist David Brooks asked readers this week how the nationbuilding reconstruction project in Iraq is working out. Remarkably well, you’ll be pleased to learn. Economically, Iraq is the 12th-fastest-growing economy in the world; oil production is back; living standards are improving; about 20 million Iraqis have cell phones. When it comes to political freedom, Iraq ranks fourth in the Middle East — which, let’s be honest, is like finishing fourth in the weak NFC West. Though no one likes to play the part of the Ugly American, isn’t there a more pertinent question we should be asking ourselves? Like, “What’s in it for us?” President Barack Obama
claims that the end of the combat mission is no time for victory laps. But the president, who once accused the Bush administration of intentionally sending soldiers to die in Iraq to create a political distraction, now asserts that “America is more secure.” Are we? It is far-fetched to believe that 50,000 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq in a “training and backup role” will be withdrawn by the end of 2011 as scheduled. Recently, coordinated bombings in 13 cities across Iraq killed more than 70 people and wounded hundreds of others. If the violence continues to escalate, are these 50,000 American troops going to take a “backup role” in Iraq’s ethnic and religious wars? Doubtful. And less secure. Our long-term presence in Iraq, in fact, is likely to impede any ability to react militarily to genuine threats. Americans don’t have the appetite for it. So if the Islamic radical leadership of Iran — which many experts believe filled the vacuum left by the toppling of Saddam Hussein — is, as many believe, an imminent nuclear threat, we are powerless to stop it. And if every military action in defense of U.S. interests now comes with an obligatory 10-, 20- or 40-year Marshall Plan, you’ve made it even more politically unpalatable. There are other questions that make the claim “we’re more secure” highly suspect. If we do leave, where is the evidence that Iraq (or Afghanistan, for that matter) will blossom into a secular democracy and
an ally in the war against Islamic radicalism? Doubtlessly, it is Islamophobic to bring this up, but Americans are dying not only in the war on terror but also to codify Shariah. Brooks claims that in Iraq, “the role of women remains surprisingly circumscribed.” Surprisingly? Actually, that’s just a polite way of saying — and I quote directly from the Iraqi Constitution — “Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation.” That’s one reason many of us regret our support of the Iraq war. Though I am not reflexively isolationist, I am reflexively suspicious of social engineering. And nation building is social engineering on the grandest of scales. Decent people, no doubt, are pleased to hear that the Iraqi people are doing well. If war makes us more secure, why only Iraq and not Yemen? Or Iran? Or Cuba? Doesn’t everyone deserve to live in freedom? Do not all people deserve to own cell phones and have a decent garbage disposal system? Or do we reserve those perks for those who pretend to have WMD? The question isn’t whether nation building can work. It probably can. The question is whether it was worth it.

FROM PAGE 1 SATURDAY
FIND A NEGLECTED ANIMAL?
From page 1
To treat the puppy, vets have given him antibiotics, treated the hook worms and worked to better his nutrition and strengthen his immune system. Saturday now eats three times a day. To deal with the mites, the doctors started with a dip to kill the parasites so Saturday’s immune system can finish the job. While an important step to the puppy’s recovery, this will make his condition appear to worsen before it gets better. “When the mite dies, that’s a foreign substance in the body,” Milliren said. “Imagine a million splinters in your skin.” Saturday shows none of the telltale signs of a puppy — partially because of his disease and partially because of the neglect. His tale doesn’t wag when Young enters the room. He seems depressed and zapped of energy, everything going toward fighting the mange. “The word that we want out is that this doesn’t have to happen,” Young said. “There are resources and people to help. The Humane Society of Davidson County has programs to assist with unwanted pets before they reach this point of neglect, which for Saturday went on way too long. Give us a call — we can come and get the puppies. We can step in.” Part of the Humane Society’s mission is to raise public awareness of such programs. Young says she understands that not everyone can care for pets — whether because of finances or time — but there are agencies that can help, one of them being the Humane Society’s program of bringing pet food or kitty litter to the financially needy. “We as a community need to know there are other ways to handle unwanted pets besides setting them out on their own to end up like this sweet little puppy,” Young said. “A community, a tiny short street in Thomasville watched this puppy deteriorate right in front of them. I just don’t think we should have let that happen.” To report an abandoned or neglected

Then, if possible, take the animal to a veterinary hospital. “Any time you find a stray animal, you should seek medical care as soon as possible, even if it appears normal without any medical condition,” said Joy Milliren, hospital manager at Thomasville Veterinary Hospital. “We cannot see on the outside what may be going on the inside. What appears to be a healthy pet could be one that’s incubating or carrying a particular disease.” Joy Milliren also advised using care when approaching an animal, both because if previously abused it might be skittish around humans and because it may have a disease that can spread to humans. Saturday seems to be making a slow but steady recovery, especially since Young took him immediately to the vet. Karl Milliren suggested the puppy spend the weekend at the hospital. After that, his fate has yet to be decided. Young says she’s still looking for a foster family that will be willing to put forth the time and effort required to get Saturday up to 100 percent. “He’s getting better,” Young said. “It just takes time — one day at a time.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 888-3576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.
them as effective as they can be.” The Rev. Michael Hall will be TPD’s newest chaplain, joining the Rev. Bynum Orr. Hall said he has never worked with a police department before but is looking forward to helping officers cope with difficult situations. Hall has been a pastor for seven years and will work on a volunteer basis. “I’ll be there to provide counsel to them and their families if something bad were to happen,” Hall said. “I just want to serve as a friend to the people who serve this department.” Insley feels it’s important for officers to have someone they can go to in the event of a difficult situation. “There are times when the officers just need someone to talk to,” said Insley. “It’s not a situation where we push a particular religion but we encourage having someone around to talk to and get guidance from. Officers need someone who they feel comfortable with. This is a rough job and officers see a lot of

bad things. In seeing that, they have to deal with a lot, and we just want to provide them with what they need to deal with it and get through it. It takes its toll after awhile.” Insley also welcomed new officer Chad Bessell and reserve officers Joseph Sutton and Jason Rowe. TPD now has five reserve officers after the addition of Sutton and Rowe, and Insley said they are vital components to the department whenever a situation arrives where more help is needed. Reserve officers are required to volunteers at least 12 hours a month. “We’re adding to the group,” Insley said. “Our hope is that when a fulltime position comes available we can a take a reserve officer and fill that hole. During reserve time, they’re doing field training and volunteering. As far as manpower to help us out, it’s unreal. They really do a big service for us.”

Focus key for Bulldogs in Kannapolis BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
CALENDAR TODAY VOLLEYBALL E. Davidson @ N. Davidson 5:30 p.m.
Two down, two to go. Thomasville High School heads to Kannapolis this Friday night for another road showdown with perennial football power A.L. Brown as the Bulldogs are halfway through a rigorous stretch of four away games to start the season. THS is 2-0 on the year following last week’s come-frombehind victory over Mt. Airy, but the Bulldogs will have to take

cus and preparation to give us a chance Friday night,” THS offensive coordinator and assistant coach Dickie Cline said Wednesday. “A.L. Brown can hurt you in a lot of ways offensively.”
A.L. Brown also is 2-0 on the season following the Wonders impressive 45-7 victory over South Rowan at Memorial Stadium. With feature back Travis Riley out with an injury, A.L. Brown relied on a quartet of rushers, who all found the end zone.

RIVAL NETTERS East Davidson and Ledford met on the volleyball court Tuesday night in Thomasville and split a pair matches. The Lady Golden Eagles took the JV contest over the Panthers, 25-13, 21-25, 25-10. Ledford came back in the varsity match, beating EDHS in straight games, 25-12, 25-19, 26-24. Cady Ray had 8 assists, Stevi Williams finished with 4 digs, 3 aces and 3 kills and Chloe Barnes tallied 7 blocks, 6 kills and 5 aces, helping Ledford improve to 6-0 for the season. Chelsea Turner led the Lady Golden Eagles with 7 kills and 2 blocks, and Taylor Alexander added 4 kills. Ashley Swaim and Natalie Naturile combined for 21 service points. East falls to 0-6.
East looks to build off encouraging win BY DANIEL KENNEDY Times Correspondent One game can not a season make. But with just 11 games on the high school football schedule, an early-season loss can go a long way to breaking one. East Davidson was able to avoid the dubious distinction of falling to 0-2 heading into its game with North Davidson this week by securing an 18-12 double-overtime win over Trinity last Friday. “We felt really fortunate to win. The game could have went either way,” Golden Eagles coach Bryan Lingerfelt said. “That was as good as I’ve seen us play. They have really focused on what I’ve asked them to do. We’re really happy to see improvement each week.” The excitement has certainly carried over into practice and rejuvenated the team as it prepares for its toughest test to date in traveling to Welcome to play the 2-0 Black Knights. Coming off a 42-7 victory over Ledford, North offers an opportunity for East to sharpen its game against the largest of Davidson County’s schools. “North is a tough opponent. Offensively, they’re a very tough football team and defensively, they’re sound tacklers,” Lingerfelt conceded. “They’re a well-coached, strong team. They hung 40 on two teams in a row. They’re going to
play a tough football game.” The Eagles (1-1) are not, however, preparing to reinvent the wheel. The 2010 season is one of gradual tweaks and adjustments for a young squad that seeks to steadily progress with each passing week. Lingerfelt does not plan to approach the contest with any sort
of expectations except to watch his team continue to carry out the game plan. “Our job is not to be worried about the scoreboard, but to be worried about ourselves,” he said. “We’re just going to try to improve our little world. Who knows, we may look up at the scoreboard and see it’s a close game.”

WALLBURG — It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. A week following a triumph debut that saw the Ledford Panthers trounce Trinity 28-7, coach Chris Adams suffered his first loss as the Panthers’ head man in a 42-7 loss to North Davidson. To borrow from legendary author Charles Dickens, the first two weeks can be explained rather easily as a Tale of Two Opponents. “They were really good,” Adams said of North’s stunning performance. “They gave us some matchup problems and out-sized us on the line. They are one of the biggest high school teams I’ve seen.” Just as Ledford says good riddance to one 4A powerhouse program,
‘We’ve got to play responsible football. It’s a different challenge, but we’re looking forward to it.’ — Chris Adams Ledford Football Coach
yet another squad from North Carolina’s largest classification will serve as the Panthers’ competition for a second straight week. Southwest Guilford (2-0) and its high-octane offense will pay a visit to Panther Stadium Friday night to continue a tough non-conference slate of games for Ledford. Led by Georgia Tech commit Airyn Willis, the Cowboys bring a unique variation of the triple option offense that will create an interesting matchup for the Panthers. The win over Trinity on opening night may pay huge dividends Friday, since the Bulldogs were unable to move the football at will with a similar unit to that of Southwest’s. “(The Cowboys) run an option offense. Trinity ran an option offense,

SPORTS Austin suspended from UNC football BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin has been suspended indefinitely and will not play in the season opener against LSU on Saturday, the school announced Wednesday. UNC coach Butch Davis said the suspension was not the result of the ongoing NCAA investigation. “Marvin has violated team rules and has neglected his responsibilities to the team,� Davis said in a statement. The senior starter, along with senior wide receiver Greg Little, have been at the center of the ongoing NCAA investigation into whether players had improper contact with agents or received illegal benefits. The investigation apparently began after some postings to Austin’s Twitter account, which has since been deactivated, and the NCAA was on campus on July 12-13 and again Aug. 45. During the course of that investigation, it was discovered that an undisclosed number of football players were involved in possible academic infractions, which Chancellor Holden Thorp announced at a news conference last week. Teammates said that Austin, who has not been available to answer questions from the media, had remained upbeat during the preseason. He did break his silence
Sunday, however, when he posted the following on his Facebook account. “I came back to school to have my character questioned[?]. i thought education was key.. I dont really understand... i though it was the right thing to do..maybe i was mistaken...i like to say thanx to all those who stand by me i really appriecate it. oh yea and to those who wanna see me fall i wont cause i dont great athletes stay on their feet!!!!!� UNC updated its social media policy for athletes this year, stipulating one coach or administrator for each team will have access to and will regularly monitor the content of players’ social networking sites. The updated rules also state that if any posts violate the law or NCAA, university or athletic department policies, the player involved could face punishment ranging from removal of the post to dismissal from the team. Austin is the only UNC player who has been ruled out for the LSU game, although more players could end up sitting out as several starters on defense have been practicing with the scout team. Defensive end Robert Quinn and cornerback Kendric Burney, both starters, said they had been working with the scout team but deferred to Davis when asked if they thought they would start Saturday.

The two-pronged investigation has put a cloud over the No. 18 Tar Heels as they prepare for their first game of the season. UNC did not release a depth chart with its game notes Monday, and Davis said during a teleconference Wednesday the depth chart remains fluid. “We’re trying to prepare for all scenarios,� Davis said. The Tar Heels appear to have been preparing for the loss of Austin since training camp began, as the three-year starter had been practicing with the second team. Junior Quinton Coples, who was expected to start at left defensive end, has moved inside, and junior Michael McAdoo, who is listed as a backup right defensive end on the depth chart in the media guide, has been practicing with the first team at left defensive end. Still, the loss of Austin leaves UNC thin at defensive line as highly-touted freshman defensive tackle Brandon Willis withdrew from school two weeks ago. “We’ve had to be kind of, somewhat prudent a little bit in the number of practice repetitions that certain guys get,� Davis said. “Anybody that you think might have to play that maybe has a limited amount of experience, maybe you give him slightly more practice opportunities than you would somebody that has played a lot more.�

The pointless prosecution of Roger Clemens VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist
If it were a crime to venture onto Capitol Hill to reveal yourself as a self-absorbed liar with an inability to admit mistakes, there would be tumbleweeds blowing through the vacant halls of Congress. Fortunately for members of the legislative branch, that is not a crime. Unless your name is Roger Clemens. The eccentric baseball legend is not one to let people disparage him without a forceful response, any more than he was one to let batters crowd the plate without retaliation. A couple of years ago, after being accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, he voluntarily appeared before a House committee to heap scorn on the charge. His denial was not very convincing, since other witnesses — notably longtime teammate Andy Pettitte — had given statements contradicting him. He was repeatedly reminded by skeptical interrogators that he was under oath. Democratic Chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis joined together afterward to advise the Justice Department that “significant questions have been raised about Mr. Clemens’ truthfulness.” But never mind if anyone believed him, or if his alleged dissembling made any difference on anything. Federal prosecutors got him indicted for perjury, and he faces trial on charges that carry penalties of up to 30 years in prison. It’s possible to imagine less worthy uses of prosecutorial resources, but not many. Indictments for perjury unaccompanied by other criminal charges are rare, usually employed only when a statute of limitations makes it impossible to prosecute the accused for more significant felonies. The Rocket, for some reason, is not charged with violating federal law by possessing or using illegal substances. He is charged merely with lying to members of Congress. Members of Congress, of course, have been known to lie to their constituents and to each other, without fear of going to prison. And it’s hard to see what would be lost if Clemens’ sworn denial were written off as a risible burst of hot air. United States attorneys face a nearly endless array of mischief and mayhem. Because of limited resources, they cannot prosecute everyone who breaks the law. Yet those in charge of prosecutions for the nation’s capital chose to give priority to an offender
who presents no threat to public safety and whose real crime was to disrespect a powerful group of elected officials. “It’s hard for me to see the federal interest in prosecuting Clemens in this kind of case,” says Ron Safer, a former assistant U.S. attorney. “Cases that are worthy of prosecution are turned down every day because the federal interest is insufficient.” Perjuries are not all created equal. Rod Blagojevich and Lewis “Scooter” Libby were both convicted of lying to federal agents, but they did so in order to impede criminal investigations into other suspected wrongdoing. Another baseball star, Barry Bonds, was indicted for perjury because he supposedly lied to a grand jury probing illegal drug trafficking — testimony that could have allowed criminals to go free. Various government officials prosecuted for lying to Congress about the Iran-Contra scandal were trying to suppress the truth and block congressional oversight on a matter of grave public concern. In instances like these, prosecution of perjury serves as a deterrent to conduct that interferes with vital government functions. Clemens’ supposed deceit, by contrast, came in a bit of congressional theater. The hearings were not necessary to formulate legislation — and, in fact, no legislation came out of the process. The point was to grab the spotlight and convey the impression of action to gullible constituents. Congress was holding hearings just for the fun of holding hearings. Reginald Brown, an associate White House general counsel under President George W. Bush, told The New York Times that the committee members were pushing the boundaries of their legitimate authority: “They did this to figure out whether Clemens or his trainer were telling the truth, and that is arguably not a legislative function. It’s not Congress’ job to hold perjury trials.” All this might be easier to see if the case involved a more sympathetic character than Clemens, whose plight is largely the result of his own gargantuan hubris. But a meaningless act of perjury should not become a criminal case merely because it was allegedly committed by a prize jerk. In this case, prosecutors seem to be letting their pride and indignation lure them into a fight they would have been better off declining. Sort of like Roger Clemens.

FOCUS From page 7 and throw, connected on 6-of-10 passes and two touchdowns. Slowing down the Wonders will be the Bulldogs main challenge. “They’ve got several good running backs, good receivers and a quarterback who can really makes plays with his arm or his feet,” said Cline. “They really stretch it to the limit as far as that goes. They also play a lot from the option which requires you to play assignment football. We’ve got to have a lot of discipline and focus, and everyone has to take care of their assignments from that aspect.” THS’ defense kept the Bulldogs in the game last Friday night against Mt. Airy. Plagued by poor field position, the defense held the Granite Bears in check after surrendering a first quarter touchdown, giving the offense time to find its rhythm. Thomasville blocked a field goal and returned a punt for a touchdown in the 21-14 win. “If it wasn’t for the defense, it might have really been ugly,” Cline

Defensive back Chris Ross (No. 21) gets position on a Mt. Airy receiver to pull in an interception Friday. said. “They kept us in the game in the first half. We had terrible field position and they had their backs against the wall. They stepped up and they’re going to have to do that again this week.
“You’re always happy with the win. It was disappointing in the fact that we didn’t perform as well as we could have or should have. That goes back to the week of preparation. The focus was
not there and I think the kids have learned their lesson. This week has been much better as far as more focus at practice. It has been tough because the weather has been hot as snot, but we’re excited about the challenge.” The Wonders played equally as well defensively against South Rowan, allowing a mere 56 yards and three first downs in the opening half. After struggling on offense through two quarters at Mt. Airy, the Bulldogs got it going in the second half, led by running back Quin Riley. Despite two sprained ankles, the senior piled up 156 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown that breathed life into a THS offense that couldn’t get out of its own way against a Granite Bears team that tired late in the contest. Mt. Airy did a good job of stepping into passing lanes and getting its hands up, leading to three tipped balls and two interceptions off quarterback Sam Nelson. Thomasville will travel to Albemarle next week before finally playing at Cushwa Stadium on Sept. 17 against Davie County.

FROM PAGE 1 UNITES From page 1 been overwhelmed with acts of generosity from near and far. “Everyone has been incredible,” said Manzella. “The calls have been non-stop. It has been just crazy with the response we’ve been getting. I got a note from a little girl that said ‘Dear Kate, I love you very much. I don’t have much but here’s everything I have for you.’ Inside was two dollars. My heart just explodes when I see that kind of thing.” Kisses4Kate already has raised more than $90,000 of the organization’s $100,000 goal that will provide a down payment on a new home in the Ledford community for the Thornton’s, a family of six who live in a small 1,100-squarefoot house ill-equipped for Kate’s needs. Kate is currently staying at her grandparent’s home in Trinity, and doctors have told the family she only has a few weeks left to live. Kisses4Kate is trying to get the Thornton’s in their new home as soon as possible, and vol-
unteers are working tirelessly to make it happen. Ledford High School held a fundraiser prior to last Friday night’s football game and collected more than $800 from donations and sales of pink arm bands made available through Carolina Cancer Services. “It’s coming along,” Manzella said. “I’m pretty confident we’re going to get there. We are already talking to the builder about how soon we can get the house and get them moved in. People have really embraced it. We know at this point that this will be her legacy and will be something that goes on to help other children.” Local organizations are answering the call as well. Pump It Up at 699 Sunshine Way in Greensboro is matching any donation made up to $50 on Sept. 5 at its inflatable party zone. On Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon, Our Lady of the Highway Catholic Church on N.C. Highway 109 — Kate’s church — will be holding a fundraiser for the Thorntons. Karen Park, an independent Thirty One consultant, is having “A Purse Party” and
a bake sale where all the proceeds will go to the Thornton family. Pink arm bands also will be on sale for $5. “I thought we could do something for Kate,” said Park. “There will be something for everybody. I hope everything goes well and the day is successful. I hope we can raise lots of money for them.” Cafe Arthur’s at 1416 S. Hawthorne Road in Winston-Salem, is holding a pancake benefit on Sept. 26 from 7 a.m to 2 p.m., and all proceeds will go to Kisses4Kate to help pay medical bills. This Friday night, the Kisses4Kate logo will appear on the hood of Carl Long’s No. 6 Rick Ware Racing truck at the NASCAR Truck Series race in Kentucky. Speed Channel will televise the race at 8 p.m. Plans also are in the works for a charity golf tournament at Winding Creek Golf Course on Saturday, Sept. 11.

New exhibit coming to county historical museum TIMES STAFF REPORT
A “Buseum” filled with memorabilia from World War II will be parked in front of the Davidson County Historical Museum on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, as the traveling exhibit makes its way to the area. The Museum will also be open Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On board visitors can see an exhibit and video telling the story of the German Prisoners of War (POWs) held in more than 500 camps throughout the US, including North Carolina. Two of these POW camps were located in WinstonSalem and Greensboro. German POWs from the Winston-Salem camp worked during the war at Coble Dairy farms in Davidson County, as well as at R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company. The Davidson County Historical Museum presented two WWII exhibits in 2005. The first exhibit, “The Homefront During WWII,” examined the comprehensive efforts of everyday citizens in Davidson County to support the war, and the second, “Those Who Served,” looked at the contributions of the 7,000 Davidson County citizens who served in some military capacity from 1931-45. These exhibits received a tremendous response and there is still a great deal of interest in WWII history. For that reason, the museum is proud to be hosting the TRACES Buseum, and invite the public to board the bus and learn about a littleknown part of our WWII history. What exactly is a Buse-
um? It is a bus that has been converted into a traveling museum. This Buseum belongs to Traces, a non-profit educational organization created to gather, preserve and present the history of World War II. The Davidson County Historical Museum is located at 2 S. Main St. in Lexington. For more information on the museum or the upcoming “Buseum” exhibit, call (336) 242-2035.

AREA NEWS Davidson 4-H members win competitions at State Congress TIMES STAFF REPORT
Two Davidson County 4-H’ers were among those winning competitions at State 4-H Congress. Congress is the high point of the 4-H year, bringing young people from across the state to the North Carolina State University campus and Raleigh for four days of activity July 19-22. Sydney Beck, 10, daughter of Wes and Wendy Beck of Lexington, and Alexandria Loflin, 15, daughter of Jones and Lisa Loflin of Denton, won competitions designed to test 4-H’ers’ knowledge of a variety of subjects. Sydney won the 9-10 year olds division of the interior design and home space category, sponsored by N.C. 4-H Development Fund. Her presentation

Loflin
was about recycling. Alexandria won the 1418 year olds division of the fabric and fashion design category, sponsored by N.C. 4-H Development Fund. Alexandria’s presentation, “Jazzy Jean Purse,” focused on how to make a purse from a pair of jeans. More than 500 4-H’ers, volunteer leaders and North Carolina Cooperative Extension agents at-
tended 4-H Congress. The 4-H program is the youth education program of North Carolina Cooperative Extension, based at North Carolina State and North Carolina A&T State universities. More than 240,000 young people between the ages of 5 and 19 participate in North Carolina 4-H activities each year with the help of 21,000 adult and youth volunteers.

Way. “We got some good reports on numbers. We are off to a great start.” During the official campaign — also called the blackout period — United Way agencies stop fundraising to allow other companies to raise money internally. Pacesetter companies sponsored several events internally, allowing their employees to raise money before the United Way campaign officially begins and inching the organization that much closer to its $2.1 million 2010 campaign goal — an almost $300,000 increase from last year. “So far so good,” said Donna Lane, campaign director. “I think it’s a little up from last year.” During the 2009 campaign, United Way agencies and assisting companies alike were fighting against a floundering economy. Although financially speaking, the area isn’t quite out of the woods yet, Lane says that the mood remains upbeat. “The meeting was very optimistic,” she said. “They seem very positive. Not one person was pessimistic about the economy and where we were going, we wanted to do what we could to take care of the needs of Davidson County.” And all of the money United Way raises indeed stays in Davidson County, funneling into the 30 Davidson County non-profit agencies partnered with United Way. “We’re trying to raise as much money as we possibly can because there are so many needy right now and, because the economy is still struggling, there’s more need than there ever has been,” Lane said. “But I believe that if we all work together and do the best we can, then every dollar can make a difference.” The launch of United Way of Davidson County’s new Web site — uwdavidsoncounty.org — should help with that goal, allowing people to donate online for the first time. The site also features a community calendar event where United Way agencies can post a variety of fundraising events to keep the public
informed. “We’re telling our agencies and our community to go there and see what’s going on,” Hege said. “Agencies can go in and submit events that they have so that the community can stay in touch with them. It gives us a community calendar so everyone can stay on the same page.” The Web site change came about partially to give United Way a new look. “So many people are using the Internet, we just felt like it was going to be a valuable tool for our community to stay in touch with the United Way, to be able to stay in touch with us and with our agencies,” Hege said. “We just thought it was
important to update our Web site and make it current and fresh. We hope this will help folks find the help that they need.” With one and three people finding themselves touched by one of United Way’s agencies, such a clarification could make a difference in many lives. “I feel like we have to help our brothers and sisters, especially the children and the elderly,” Lane said. “I just feel like we would be lost without the United Way.” Visit the United Way of Davidson County’s new Web site at uwdavidsoncounty.org.

ADVICE ADVICE
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
One of the best ways to look at your routine expenses is in the bright light of truth: annualized. Sure that cup of gourmet coffee every morning costs a mere $3.50. What’s the big deal? Let me show you: $3.50 x 5 days a week x 52 weeks equals $910. That’s a big deal. That’s how to annualize a routine expense. Today’s first tipster gets it. She’s made a conscious decision to go forward based on the annualized amount, but not without getting a nice discount in the process.
TIP OF THE MONTH
I can’t stand paying my cable television bill. I grew up during the days when, if you owned a TV, you received a signal for free. Because I want to see as few cable bills as possible, I pay a year in advance. This year, I called up my cable company. I reminded the company that it never has to generate bills or bother with my account for a year at a time. I requested a 5 percent discount on my entire year’s bill. The company readily agreed, knowing that the competition for customers is fierce. This small victory took away the sting of paying to watch television. — Kay M., Delaware
AUTOMATIC MAGIC
I have discovered the joys of auto bill pay. Most utility companies and others offer this convenience. Simply sign up for automatic payments, authorizing them to deduct what you owe from your checking account. You still receive bills with the payment dates noted. All you have to do is enter the amounts in your check register. I pay my electric, gas, water, life insurance and even credit card bills this way. Payments are always on time, and I save a lot in postage costs and never have to worry about lost checks. — Carolyn O., California
DIAPER DIVA
I get free diapers plus $10 for doing surveys for diaper companies. Arquest, a spinoff from Johnson & Johnson, is one of the research companies that I use. It’s as easy as calling to give your name and phone number and your child’s gender, weight and diaper size. They will call you when they have an opening. For girls, call
Your Town. Your Times. Subscribe today! 888-3511
The big deal that is an annualized expense 888-342-7372, ext. 646, to speak with “Georgia.” For boys, call the same number plus extension 634 to speak with “Chelia.” Or simply press 9 when you hear the automated prompts to leave your information for the diaper survey.
