Holiday just another day at work for some BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer
TIMES PHOTO/ELIOT DUKE
Dr. Nelson Weller and his wife Elaine hold a picture of his family tree at their home in Thomasville. Weller’s investigative nature has led him to work tracing families history of inherent diseases.
TRACING HISTORY
On Labor Day, most Americans celebrate their work by taking a break from it, sometimes making trips to the beach or hosting backyard cookouts. Not everyone had the day off on Monday, though. While media outlets stayed open to cover the news, other local workers strove to make sure that there was no bad news to report. Derek Medlin, battalion chief with Thomasville Fire Department, said that Labor Day is treated like any other day at his workplace, with no special scheduling or time
off. “Whichever shift is working that day works,” Medlin said. “It’s basically just like any other weekend.” Firefighters can use vacation time over Labor Day weekend, but no-one at Medlin’s station took that opportunity. He said that they just get used to not always being home on holidays. “It’s in back of your mind, and you’d love to be able to be with your loved ones, but we knew coming into this job and this profession that this was going to happen,” Medlin said. Hospital workers are

Local genealogist helps researchers identify inherent diseases BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
When Dr. Nelson Weller took an aptitude test nearly 40 years ago, the exam said he would be best suited as a detective. In a way, that is exactly what he has become. Weller, now in his 70s, earned a doctorate degree five years ago in Genealogy that allows him to put his innate detective skills to work tracing a family’s history in order to detect inherited diseases. “In January, I spent 100 hours on one family,” Weller said. “It takes time. I started digging on my own family and branched out to others over the years. When a doctor asks me about my parents and grandparents, he doesn’t expect what he gets. I can recite back to my greatgrandparent and what all of them died from.” Since his graduation from the Union Institute and University in Cincinnati, Ohio, Weller has been working with Dr. Anthony Bleyer, a nephrologist at Wake Forest University Medical Center, who
‘Dr. Weller has helped us to identify family members with this disease through his genealogic research on our families.’ — Dr. Anthony Bleyer
is interested in inherited medical conditions. Weller, who is also a volunteer chaplain, said he is currently looking into the history of 10 families to try and identify genetic causes of certain diseases. “When [Bleyer] identifies a patient, I’m given what they will tell us about their family,” said Weller. “I find as many of the family as I can. The broader the base, the better blood samples and DNA we can get. It’s a minor part in research, but it identifies who’s who.” Dr. Bleyer was studying a dis-
ease that causes both gout and kidney disease that leads to a person needing dialysis at middle age. By taking key pieces of family information like names, dates and places of birth, Weller helped identify a genetic cause to the disease. “Dr. Weller has helped us to identify family members with this disease through his genealogic research on our families,” Bleyer said. “This has helped us to identify the genetic cause of one of these diseases, leading to hopes for a treatment and a cure to future.” Weller first got the notion to investigate family lineage in 1948 when he wanted to know more about his grandfather. When his own family couldn’t give him the answers he was looking for, Weller took it upon himself to do a little digging. As it turned out, he unveiled a secret mystery that his grandfather was actually illegitimate.

Hospice offering grief support groups BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer Beginning this month, Hospice of the Piedmont in High Point will offer two grief support groups designed to help adults and children in the community cope with the death of a loved one. “They are free,” said Kimberly Hines, marketing associate with Hospice of the Piedmont. “The only way that’s possible is because we’re a nonprofit — because of all the support from the community.” Both support groups meet at the Hospice of the Piedmont office at
1801 Westchester Drive in High Point, and they range in size from six to 10 participants. Remembering My Child is a group for adults who have experienced the death of a child. It will meet for seven consecutive Mondays from 3 to 4:30 p.m., beginning Sept. 14. It also will gather at the Hope for the Holidays workshop on Nov. 10 from 6-8 p.m. “No-one expects that their child will die before them, and this is what makes it so heartbreaking for parents in a group like this,” said Jan Hoff-

American Red Cross urges citizens to prepare for disasters BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
A recent study released by the Red Cross show that most Americans are taking precautions to avoid getting the much-publicized H1N1 virus, otherwise known as the Swine Flu. The study also says that just 12 percent of the same people who were surveyed have made plans to prepare for a disaster such as a fire, flood or storm. With September designated as National Preparedness Month, the High Point-Thomasville Chapter of the Red Cross is urging citizens to not only prepare for a new flu strand but any other emergency that may impact

their lives. “You are your best defense against emergencies,” Bob Ziegler, Executive Director of the High Point-Thomasville Chapter, said. “The Red Cross can help you take simple steps to prepare yourself and your loved ones for emergencies ranging from severe weather to a flu outbreak.” One of first things a household can do to prepare for an emergency is make a preparedness kit with enough supplies to last three days in case of power outages or a need to evacuate. Supplies should include water, equal to a gallon per person per day, non-per-

Five ways you can use this for that EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE
MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist
When I run out of coffee filters, I love knowing that I can fashion a paper towel into a filter. And curiously, when I need to clean a mirror or window and don’t have any paper towels, a coffee filter can substitute. Check out these readersubmitted ideas for how to use this for that!
TIP OF THE MONTH. I am 13 years old, and I have a tip for your column. I find that hand sanitizer with 60 percent ethyl alcohol from the dollar store removes pen and permanent marker ink from skin. I know because my little brother had a fun day at school. Kids signed one another’s shirts with markers. Some used permanent markers, and the ink leaked through his shirt. He came home with marks all over his arms and back. I rubbed hand sanitizer on the marks, and they simply disappeared! This is a cheap and easy solution for removing ink
from skin. As a bonus, it also kills germs. — Aaron R., Illinois (Editorial note: Please make sure you keep this stuff away from little ones. It is nearly pure rubbing alcohol and could be mistaken as a tasty treat! —MH) LICENSE SENSE. Here’s a way to put your cell phone to good use: Create an entry named “License Plate” in your contact list. Enter your license plate number and you will have that information at your fingertips. This is great info to have at hotel check-in or in the unfortunate event that your car is stolen. Having that entry could be the difference between a quick recovery and a never-ending hassle. — Kristean T., Arkansas CLEANING CADDY. I use an old golf bag from my favorite thrift shop to store my brooms and mops. Its deep pockets hold dust rags and a dust buster, and I hook a spray bottle on the top edge. The bag makes a handy cleaning caddy, and it stands easily in the corner out of the way. — Lee, Pennsylvania NATURAL SOLUTION. I never use expensive commercial septic cleaner. The man who installed our septic system 15 years ago recommended flushing three packets of yeast down a toilet once a month to
keep the septic in great condition. Yeast is the key ingredient in the commercial solution. I buy the cheapest threepack of yeast I can find (quick-rise or regular) and flush it down one toilet every month. After all these years, we never have had any problems with our septic system. — Carolyn P., Tennessee MAPLE SAVINGS. When my four boys were growing up, we went through a lot of maple syrup. I made my own. I got out my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and followed its maple syrup recipe. I made big batches and mixed them with real maple syrup (equal parts or less). With the price of real maple syrup, I’m thinking about doing that again when my grandkids visit. — Jan S., California Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Good physicians discuss end care before end BY DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
Despite the talk of so-called “death panels� and “death to grandma,� numerous experts in hospice and palliative care maintain that this has actually been a positive discussion about end-oflife decisions. Although many pundits have attacked the idea of reimbursing physicians for this sort of counseling, good primary care doctors would be remiss if they did not ensure that patients had a living will, advance directives and predetermined health care proxies. Being reimbursed by Medicare for this consultation emphasizes and validates the importance of discussing end-of-life care. In fact, from a purely financial standpoint, endof-life counseling should absolutely top the list of health care reforms.
In a recent article in the Kaiser Health News, Jessica Marcy talked to Ted Epperly, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, who said that during the time that it takes to competently discuss end-of-life directives with a patient, a family physician could see five patients and perform a far more lucrative procedure. Clearly, when it comes to the bottom line of performing medicine, it is vitally important that we reimburse the right sort of care. No matter your age, you must make active decisions about end-of-life issues. Though it may seem terribly improbable and frightening to address, an unexpected tragedy -- whether it be a serious illness or injury -- can happen to anyone. With appropriate planning, you can ensure that you and your loved ones will be well cared for. By
making the decisions ahead of time, you will relieve great pressures from everyone involved. When it comes to endof-life care, perceptions can vary greatly. One of my patients insisted that he wanted everything done, no matter the cost. His view was simple: “Do not pull the plug.� For him, and all my other patients, confronting death is extremely difficult. And yet, as a geriatrician, helping my patients die with dignity -- in their own home, surrounded by loved ones and with minimal suffering -- is the most important part of my practice. Helping patients die with dignity provides an abundance of spiritual rewards. Unfortunately, it is the rare patient who has advance directives, or who has already determined what should be done in the presence of a serious
terminal illness. In developing advance directives, the patient states his or her preference in treatment. In most cases, this addresses the issue of terminal illness. Generally, the patient seeks to receive the most conservative therapies, stating that should the illness be deemed terminal, he or she does not wish to receive artificial feeding, fluids, or be placed on a ventilator. For patients near the end of life, the hospital physician may discuss “do not resuscitate orders� (commonly known as DNR) with the patient or the family. Having this discussion with a new physician and at a stressful and vulnerable time can be difficult, uncomfortable and often unproductive. Being able to refer to a clearly stated advance directive or a living will can be extremely helpful
WINSTON-SALEM – Brenner Children’s Hospital is partnering with other health agencies throughout the state to provide a Shaken Baby syndrome prevention program to parents and caregivers, called Keeping Babies Safe in North Carolina. The evidence-based program is a collaboration between the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, the University of North Carolina Injury Prevention Research Center, and the Center for Child and Family Health. The goal of Keeping Babies Safe in North Carolina is to reduce Shaken Baby Syndrome in the state by 50 percent over five years and represents the largest and most comprehensive intervention for Shaken Baby Syndrome in the country. Starting today, nurses and staff at Brenner Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive and Intermediate Care Nurseries began sharing the program ma-
terials and message with parents of all babies before discharge. Training and supplies were made available by Keeping Babies Safe in North Carolina. “The first step in this process is for all 89 hospitals in the state that handle deliveries to share the materials and message with all parents and caregivers of infants,� said Trish Harold, R.N., and program coordinator at Brenner Children’s Hospital. “This way, the program will reach every parent of the approximately 131,000 babies born in the state annually.� Nationally, an estimated 1,200 to 1,400 children a year receive medical treatment after being shaken. An estimated 25 percent of these children die and 80 percent of survivors are left with some form of life-long brain injury. “A lot more children are shaken who are not hospitalized but may have mental retardation or learning disabilities later,� said Cherrie Welch,
M.D., a neonatologist at Brenner Children’s Hospital. “This shows the need for, and potential benefits of, preventing shaking.� The materials are based on a curriculum called The Period of PURPLE CryingŽ, which was developed by Ron Barr, M.D., a professor of community child health research and a developmental pediatrician at the University of British Columbia, and Marilyn Barr, founder and executive director of the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome. They are both collaborating with the North Carolina project. Barr created the concept of The Period of PURPLE CryingŽ to help describe the characteristics of crying in healthy infants. “PURPLE� describes normal infant crying – it Peaks at 2 months of age and ends at 4 or 5 months, and often earlier; is Unexpected; Resists soothing; the child appears to be in Pain; it is Long lasting (two to five

and consider how you would like to be treated. Most of us do not wish to live the last months, weeks or days of life in a hospital bed, surrounded by tubes and machines. Though death is always a very difficult issue to confront, the process of discussing these issues now will make a world of difference in the long run. To demonize the process of helping physicians promote end-of-life discussions is truly a tragedy.

Brenner Children’s Hospital implements program to protect children TIMES STAFF REPORT
for the physician and the family. Most importantly, it can help avoid conflict and unnecessary care. Advance directives are extremely personal and can be very specific. For example, the care of a patient with a massive stroke will be different from one with a lifethreatening infection, terminal cancer or a gradually advancing and debilitating illness. With honest and thorough discussions with a primary care physician, you can develop a plan that fits your own philosophy for care. Personally, I always counsel my patient to consider the invaluable service of hospice care, which frequently allows death to occur in the most appropriate and comfortable way.

Bookwatch - My last season may be the best VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist Save the best for last. Isn’t that what we always say? If you read this column regularly, you know I enjoy my role as host of UNC-TV’s program, North Carolina Bookwatch. After this season, (my 10th) concludes next year, I plan to step down. The fine authors and timely books coming up make it possible for me to “go out” with the best season ever. For instance, if you are appalled by the kidnapping and confinement of Jaycee Lee Dugard, read John Hart’s latest book, “The Lost Child.” It will take you into the backyard of a sex offender who has imprisoned a young girl just like Jaycee. (On UNC-TV’s NC Bookwatch, 5pm, Sunday, Sept. 13) The sudden loss of a beloved child, the damning sentence of an incurable cancer, the indiscretions of a husband she adored, how does Elizabeth Edwards deal with this triple set of slammers? She lays it all out powerfully in her bestselling book, “Resilience.” (Sept. 27) During his lifetime, Archie Graham, brother of UNC President Frank Porter Graham, was virtually unknown outside the Minnesota town where he was a respected physician. But Archie, also known as “Moonlight Graham,” has become an icon. Find out why in “Chasing Moonlight: The True Story of Field of Dreams’ Doc Graham” by Brett Friedlander and Robert Reising. (Oct. 4) Michael Malone is North Carolina’s Charles Dickens. His new book, “The Four Corners of the Sky,” takes a North Carolina woman, who is a top Navy pilot, on a journey like Dorothy’s trip to the Land of Oz. (Oct. 11) Coincidently, the title story in N.C. State’s John Kessel’s new book, “The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and other Stories” is also inspired by Dorothy and Oz. Kessel takes his readers from the North Carolina Mountains to human colonies on the
moon, and from the present day to 100 years ago or 100 years from now. (Oct. 18) Beginning with the publication of “A Long and Happy Life” almost 50 years ago, readers all over the world have admired the works of Reynolds Price. At last we have the story of how that first wonderful story of Rosacoke Mustian came to be. It is all a part of his new book, “Ardent Spirits: Leaving Home, Coming Back.” (Oct. 25) The Gothic architecture Duke University campus is a perfect setting for Alexandra Sokoloff ’s “The Unseen,” a tale of mystery and the supernatural based on the extrasensory perception experiments of Dr. J.B. Rhine. (Nov. 1) UNC-Chapel Hill Professor Barry Popkin’s new book, “The World is Fat,” explains why changes in lifestyle and eating habits across the globe have made the food we eat our number one public health problem. (November 8) If you read Erica Eisdorfer’s “The Wet Nurse’s Tale,” you risk falling in love with a 19th Century English servant girl, whose role is to nurse the children of upper class women. Plain and plump though she may be, her tenacity and resourcefulness will win your admiration. (Nov. 15) Kate Betterton’s “Where the Lake Becomes the River” captures the spirit and the spirits of growing up in the South. It also captured the prestigious Novello Literary Award. (November 22) More than 150 years after the end of slavery in North Carolinians, its legacy still haunts the land, still surrounds us, intertwined with family and personal history. That legacy is the theme of literary icon Shelby Stephenson’s award winning book “Family Matters: Homage to July, The Slave Girl.” (Nov. 29) Ron Rash’s new novel, “Serena,” establishes him as one of America’s leading authors. New York Times book reviewer Janet Maslin named it one of her 10 Favorite Books of 2008. (December 6) Hope you will watch on Sundays at 5 p.m. Last chance.
When compassion is cruel VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMA Syndicated Columnist People don’t always get what they deserve in this world, so it is gratifying to see when someone does. It happened Wednesday when a California parole board insisted that Susan Atkins, a 61-year-old amputee with incurable brain cancer, live her few remaining months in prison rather than the embrace of her loved ones. This may sound like pointless excess inflicted on someone whose crime, committed 40 years ago, is ancient history. But even to mention Atkins without first mentioning her victims is an affront. In 1969, she repeatedly thrust a knife into an innocent woman who was eight and a half months pregnant, killing her and her unborn child. It’s a crime that might be forgotten except that Atkins was a member of Charles Manson’s murderous cult. Her victim, actress Sharon Tate, stabbed 16 times, was one of seven people slaughtered in Los Angeles in a two-night spree that Manson, insanely, thought would ignite a massive race war. Atkins and her co-defendants were convicted and sentenced to die, but her sentence was reduced to life in prison when the state supreme court abolished capital punishment in 1972. Her illness served as grounds to ask the parole board for “compassionate release”
so she could peacefully expire outside of prison. Even her prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, endorsed the idea. “She’s already paid substantially for her crime, close to 40 years behind bars,” he told The Los Angeles Times. “She has terminal cancer. The mercy she was asking for is so minuscule.” But the parole board unanimously refused. No doubt the board members recalled that in a 1993 parole hearing, Atkins acknowledged that when she had her own opportunity to grant clemency, she chose not to. Tate begged Atkins to spare her baby, to no avail. “Compassionate release” already has a bad name in this country because it was the basis for Scotland’s decision to free the only person convicted in the 1988 airline bombing over Lockerbie, which killed 270 people. Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was serving a life sentence but, afflicted with terminal prostate cancer, was sent home to Libya to live out his remaining time on Earth. Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill defended the decision by saying, “Our justice system demands that judgment be imposed but compassion available.” He noted that the killer “now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power. It is one that no court, in any jurisdiction, in any land, could revoke or overrule. It is terminal, final and irrevocable. He is going to die.” If we are going to rely on the Almighty in these matters, though, I would prefer that pleas for clemency from convicted killers also be addressed to Him. The truth is we are all going to die, and if we prefer not to do it in prison, we have the option of not committing crimes whose punishment might get in the way of our last wishes. Like Atkins, Megrahi had already been spared execution, which amounts
to gratuitous cruelty. Many of us who oppose the death penalty nonetheless think that when someone gets a life sentence, we should not have to parse the meaning of “life.” It ought to mean till you’re dead, which neither Atkins nor Megrahi is. It’s some consolation that Megrahi is something of an exception, since infamous killers don’t usually get the chance to walk free. California law excludes “compassionate release” for anyone sentenced to life without parole. But mere life sentences often qualify for early release. One was granted to Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a member of the Manson cult who was not involved in the Los Angeles murders but who in 1975 walked up to President Gerald Ford in Sacramento and shoved a loaded pistol in his face. She was convicted of attempted assassination and went to prison. But last month, still quite alive at 60, she was freed to go her merry way. Maybe Fromme is now harmless, and maybe there is money to be saved by letting her or Atkins out of their taxpayer-financed housing. But few government funds were ever better spent. And it’s hard to see why people who have committed violent crimes deserve any consideration beyond the fair trial and sentencing they have already gotten. Compassionate release is compassionate only to criminals, not their victims. All this brings to mind the exchange in Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged,” when one character asks another to define the opposite of charity. The answer? “Justice.” Steve Chapman blogs daily at newsblogs.chicagotribune. com/steve_chapman. To find out more about Steve Chapman, visit www.creators.com.

familiar with this reality, as well. Tosha Briles is the nurse manager for Thomasville Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit, which never closes. “In nursing, you’re just expected to work, especially being in a hospital,” Briles said. “You take the days that you do have off, and you make those your holidays.” She said that the hospital staff tries to make occasions out of holidays by bringing candy or cupcakes, but Labor Day is just like any other day. “We always strive to do remarkable patient care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” Briles said. “Work, for us, really does
not change just because it’s a holiday.” Work doesn’t seem to change for the fire department, either, despite all of the cooking out that takes place on the end-ofsummer holiday. “I don’t know that, statistically, we’re any busier on Labor Day,” Medlin said. “Part of the reason is that a lot of people are out of town.” Lt. Jerry Jolly with the Thomasville Police Department said that typically, three-day weekends tend to be quiet, and problems requiring police tend to be caused by arguments at family gatherings. The department’s administrative offices in the city were closed Monday, but patrol officers are out in full force. “It’s kind of hard at times, when everybody’s

It will meet for four consecutive Mondays from 5 to 6:30 p.m., beginning Sep. 28. “I think the benefits of being part of a group is that they get to hear children their own age — their peers — express their feelings and thoughts about having

going to the lake and going to cookouts and things, and you’re absent,” Jolly said. “The kids come over, and the grandkids and what-haveyou, and you’re just not there. It kind of throws it on your wives to do everything — to be the host and to cook.” The lieutenant echoed Medlin and Briles, though, when he said that the officers accept that labor on Labor Day is just a fact of life for them. “Crime doesn’t stop, and people needing help doesn’t stop,” Jolly said. “It’s an ongoing thing.

Other people feel or think this way, too.’” Hines said that for the first group meeting, the children are asked to bring an article of clothing that belongs to the person they lost. Over the next month, they use it to help decorate a stuffed bear in memory of their special person. “The children’s group is in September because school is back in session,” Hines said. “When kids go back to school after the summertime, often guidance counselors or teachers may see that a child is grieving and a program like this may benefit them.” Pre-registration and a pre-group interview are required for both support groups.

HAMPTON, GA — Kasey Kahne saved his best for last Sunday night and won the Pep Boys Auto 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. A huge crowd, well over 100,000 and what most were calling the biggest crowd in many years at this track, was treated to great racing on a Labor Day Weekend. In the last 50 laps alone, Juan Pablo Montoya led as did Kevin Harvick. A caution with less than 20 laps remaining set the stage for a final shootout. Kahne, who figured he had a faster car on short runs, took the lead when the race was restarted with 11 laps to go and ran away from Harvick, who was second, and Montoya, who finished third. It was Kahne’s second win this season. He put the Petty Enterprises/Gillette Budweiser Dodge in Victory Lane this summer at Infineon Raceway. Rounding out the top 15 spots were David Reutimann, Mark Martin, Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, David Stremme, Paul Menard and Robbie Gordon. Dale Earnhardt, Jr., was 17th. This race started with some of the drivers a little more nervous than normal for the start of the race. Just two races stood between them and the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, auto

Seuss captures third Explore the health win at Myrtle Beach benefits of playing golf
WHELEN
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — After a couple of tough luck races Andy Seuss finally has a reason to celebrate. Seuss was able to get past Rich Kuiken Jr. on Lap 122 and held on to win the Myrtle Beach 150 Saturday night at Myrtle Beach Speedway. Seuss, who started on the pole after the redraw, fell back early in the race as his strategy was to save his tires as much as possible. The Hampstead, N.H. driver, who last took the checkered flag at Lanier ( Ga. ) Speedway in April, crossed the fin-
ish line ahead of George Brunnhoelzl III. Buddy Emory finished third for his first podium finish of the season. L.W. Miller was fourth and Gene Pack fifth. It was Seuss’ third win of the season. Brunhhoelzl, who earlier in the day won his 5th Coors Light Pole Award of the season, was able to maintain his 76-point lead over Seuss after the 9th race of the season. The race was slowed five times for caution. The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour returns to Caraway Speedway next Saturday night for the Caraway 150.

MS Some people bill golf as the “lazy man’s sport.” Absent of running, catching, or throwing as is par for the course with many other popular sports, it’s easy to see why it would be perceived in that way. But playing a round of golf can actually be very good exercise. So if you need any other excuse to hit the links, going with the health benefits of golf is something that can’t be refuted. One of the primary benefits of golf is the fact that if you forego the golf cart to travel from hole to hole, you’re actually walking several miles around the course. Playing 18 holes of golf can involve traversing 3 to 5 miles. And as any avid golfer knows, most courses have a varied topography, meaning you could be climbing uphill and down-

Walking is a low-impact cardiovascular activity that gets the heart pumping. Many doctors advise walking over jogging because it isn’t jarring on the knees and feet. Walking is often
an important part of a workout routine and can promote weight loss and a healthier heart. For golfers who do not have a caddy, carrying a bag full of clubs adds some resistance while walking. Research has indicated that playing a round of golf has the same health benefits of a full 45-minute fitness class. It will burn fat and also improve your good cholesterol levels. Some estimates suggest that playing a round of golf and carrying your clubs can burn over 400 calories, while walking with a pull cart can burn over 300 calories. Swinging clubs and putting are also physical workouts. Repetition can help tone muscles in the arms, back and shoulders. It may also improve flexibility and range of motion. Golf

They were followed by Hamlin, Vickers, Kurt Busch, Martin and Montoya in 10th, after starting back in 22nd spot. Sam Hornish brought out the night’s first caution when he spun off turn four on the 37th lap. He did not make contact with anybody or anything and was able to continue. On the double-file shootout-style restart at lap 41, Kahne was out front in lieu of his pit crew’s stellar work. Truex was second, followed by Gordon, Johnson, Kyle Busch, Hamlin, Vickers, Martin, Kurt Busch and Montoya in 10th. Truex quickly regained the lead, and Gordon moved into second. Kahne, however, dusted Gordon for second one lap later. Hornish went two for two in the caution category when a tire flew off his car on lap 61 in the tri-oval bringing out
another caution. Gordon probably welcomed this caution as his Chevy had dropped from third to 22nd during this run. Kyle Busch took the lead on the restart this time with Truex and Johnson in tow. Max Pappis punched the wall on lap 105 bringing out the caution again. After the restart on lap Kyle Busch still had the lead on the restart at lap 108. Another caution on lap 131 for debris slowed the field once again. Gordon took the lead on the 135th lap restart, trailed by Hamlin, Johnson, Kyle Busch, Montoya, Stewart, Logano, Kurt Busch, Martin and Vickers. At the halfway point, Gordon was leading.

GOLF From page 7 also helps to strengthen hand-eye coordination and balance. It can be a great way for older players to remain spry and active in a low-impact way. Apart from the apparent physical benefits, playing golf also has some mental health benefits as well. Simply being outdoors on a beautiful day can boost a person’s spirits. Pro-
vided you’re not caught up with the competition aspect and gunning to win, golf can also be a relaxing endeavor that helps stress melt away. There’s also the camaraderie of golf: spending time with friends and other players and engaging in conversation. Golf has many benefits, and despite not being as high-energy as baseball or football, for example, it still remains a sport that can prove beneficial to your health.

Former firefighter charged with theft
TIMES STAFF REPORT
A former firefighter has been charged with stealing equipment. According to a Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office press release, Christopher Adam Tolley, 21, of 287 Bethesda Road in Lexington, was arrested and charged with one count of felony larceny following an investigation into a break-in at the Welcome Fire Department. Detectives responded to a call on June 13 from the WDF regarding some stolen
equipment from a fireman’s foot locker, valued at $2,600. There was no evidence the fire department was broken into, but detectives determined the theft happened some time between June 9 and June 11. Tolley, a former WFD fireman, was eventually developed as a suspect in the case. Tolley turned himself into police on Thursday and all the stolen equipment was recovered. Tolley was issued a $5,000 unsecured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 6.

Smart Start offering Kindergarten Readiness Kit TIMES STAFF REPORT
The transition into kindergarten is a milestone for children and parents alike. To help make the transition smoother, Smart Start of Davidson County is offering Kindergarten Preparedness Kits at its office in Lexington. “There is some very important information that parents need to be aware of ” said Linda Leonard, Executive Director of Smart Start of Davidson County. “Parents should start talking about kindergarten with their children sooner rather than later; this will help children feel less nervous about the big day.” Gerry Cobb, director of the Smart Start National Technical Assistance center agrees. “Parents should also know that school readiness is not about a 5-year old walking into kindergarten knowing how to read and add,”Cobb said. “Those kinds of expectations put undue stress on parents and can overwhelm children.” The School Readiness Kit offers more appropriate ideas for parents and children. The Kindergarten Readiness Kit includes some fun and convenient resources to help parents prepare their 4 or 5 year olds to start school. The kit will include: ‘Ready, Set, Go: A Journey to Kindergarten Calendar’: A monthly guide starting in September that shows how to turn everyday activities into learning opportunities for children. School Readiness, Starting Your Child Off Right: A checklist for parents containing information on Health and Physical Development, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Communication Skills, Thinking and General Knowledge. ‘The Night Before Kindergarten’: This wonderfully animated book joins

the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of all-saying goodbye to Mom and Dad.

Center St. in Lexington to obtain a free School Readiness Kit. Also, ask about the lending library of children’s book, toys and fun learning materials for check out.

Master Gardeners to hold demonstration TIMES STAFF REPORT
Davidson County Master Gardeners will be holding hands-on demonstrations on how the divide perennials and plant fall bulbs on Saturday at the Lexington Farmers Market. The 20-inute demonstrations will be at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. Dividing perennials is a great way to bring new life to a garden and share with friends and family. In general it is best to divide spring and summer blooming perennials in the fall, and fall bloomers in spring. By dividing the plant when it is not flowering, all the plant’s energy can go to root leaf growth. Some signs to tell you that a plant needs dividing are; flowers are smaller than normal, centers of the clumps that are hollow and dead, or when the bottom foli-

The program includes hospital and health care provider-based parent education, a 10-minute video and an 11-page booklet that parents can share with other caregivers of their baby, such as family members and babysitters. The program educates parents and caregivers about the hazards of shaking and gives them alternatives to use when they believe they need a break from a crying baby, such as handing off the baby to another caregiver or going to another room while leaving the baby in its crib with the rails up for no longer than 15 minutes. Keeping Babies Safe in North Carolina has received approximately $7 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Duke Endowment. The program is led by a broad coalition of stakeholders from the National Center for Shaken Baby Syndrome, University of British Columbia and state and county agencies, service providers and non-profit organizations.

Replant the iris with the top of the rhizome just showing above the soil line. Never allow your divisions to dry out. Keep a bucket of water nearby to moisten divisions until they are plants. Trim all broken roots with a sharp knife or pruners before replanting. Plant the divided sections im-
mediately in the garden or in containers. Replant divisions at the same depth they were originally. Mulch with pine straw for winter protection. For more information on dividing perennials or the Master Gardener Program contact the Davidson County Extension office at 242-2085.
