Boone, a biker from Bakersville, N.C., passed through Lexington about 16.5 hours after leaving the post office in Murphy, N.C., to embark on his cross-state ride. He plans to not only break the 15-year-held record of 40 hours but also raise money for BCH. Boone left Tuesday at about 10 p.m. from the Murphy post office, heading for the post office in Monteo, N.C., and aiming

Her story inspired a community. Kate Thornton’s two-year battle against leukemia may have ended on Sunday, but her legacy will live on through others who are determined to help children suffering from terminal diseases. “There’s no way that this is going away, it can’t” Kat Manzella, Kate’s godmother and volunteer with Kisses4Kate, said. “This is bigger than any of us. This has tapped into the hearts of this community and beyond. We have girl scout troops from Florida sending us money so we can keep going. I can’t make any sense of why Kate had to suffer for so long. I do know that she has a purpose and all of this has a purpose. Through her, ‘Kate left a large we exposed everyone to legacy even this vicious disease and that it doesn’t take that though she was much to help.” only 5 years old.’ In the past year, Davidson County residents have answered the call — Caron Myers for help on two separate Carolina Cancer occasions involving a Services family coping with cancer.

Tricia Creasey, a science teacher at Brown Middle School, is battling colon cancer and her home was too small to meet her medical needs. Last Friday, Kisses4Kate raised enough money for a down payment on a new house so the Thornton family could be together in Kate’s final days.

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer LEXINGTON — Chatter and light laughter spread a jovial atmosphere over the first meeting of Davidson County Schools’ Board of Education since school started. Board Chair Allan Thompson called to order a room filled with educators in high spirits Tuesday night. “You really worry at the start of the new year — is it going to be safe, are some kids going to get left beside the road,” Thompson said. “But everything seemed to get pulled together.” In addition to a smooth start to the 2010-11 year, of course, board members and county staff had much to celebrate — the acquisition of a grant, na-

tional recognition for a county academy, a positive hiring outlook, policy clarification and construction progress. Davidson County Schools received $1.3 million through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant, a four-year grant designed to provide academic enrichment to students during non-school hours. “We are extremely excited with receiving the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant,” said Sandi Lee, assistant superintendent of public instruction. “This will provide all kinds of tutoring opportunities.” The grant is designated for students from Title I feeder schools and will be used specifically to serve Tyro, Central, Brown and South David-

son Middle schools as well as South Davidson High School. Programs will operate after school from 3 to 6 p.m. and involve lessons focused around an atypical academic topic that will ultimately teach children the skills needed to meet state and local standards. For example, a teacher that has a passion for cooking might show her students how to read and follow recipes, working with fractions and reading skills. Transportation home will be provided. “It will allow us to do tutoring, enrichment activities, just a variety of things we couldn’t do otherwise,” Lee said. “We’re really excited about this and the potential it

Code of Ethics policy revised Davidson County Board of Education addressed two policy changes at its Tuesday night meeting, though both will be put on hold for a vote in October. The first policy change came in the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. Revisions clarified guidelines for employee to employee relationships as well as staff to student relationships. “This is something we’ve taken very seriously, and we’re trying to make sure it’s up to date with any clarifications our employees might need or any clarifications we might need as administrators,” Peel said. The change prohibits teachers from flirting with each other or otherwise interacting in an inappropriate and non-work-related manner and includes language from the system’s sexual harassment policy regarding teacher-student relations. “We all have to know — as adminis-

BUSINESS

Team Building: Ropes or Roses TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist

Over the past 10 years, ropes courses have become very popular ways for teams to shape up. They offer a chance to practice problem solving, build interdependence and strengthen relationships. My personal experience with a few low ropes programs convinced me they can be a fun and engaging way to see the benefits of collaboration first hand. If you haven’t tried a ropes course or rock wall, you might want to check out one of the local and regional opportunities (see www.campwj. com here in Davidson) County) for this type of team building activity. But I was looking for another way. A Davidson County client wanted TaylorTrain to offer a Teambuilding session just prior to their Strategic Planning event. I needed a new and accessible symbol for teamwork. The right visual aid or a symbol can add real impact to an otherwise generic session. Luckily, an idea came to me from an unlikely source — my morning walk. Heading out early to beat the heat, I paused to literally “smell the roses” that grow in our front yard — thanks to the gardening efforts of my husband, Chuck. Our roses are different colors and varieties, but

all add to the beauty of the garden. Before my nose hit the first petal, I noticed the thriving maze of weeds that crisscrossed the pineneedled bed. Angered by their overpowering presence, I decided then and there to pull one. Pulling ONE weed isn’t like eating ONE potato chip. You can, with a great deal of discipline, eat just one potato chip and feel good about yourself. (Unless of course, it is of the kettle-cooked salt and vinegar variety!) But you cannot pull just ONE weed and walk away feeling good about it. One became 12, and then 20, and then … it wouldn’t take that much longer just to finish the whole bed, would it? I finished the bag, uh I mean, bed. As I pulled weeds, wrecking my nails in the process, I began to think about all the work that is required to maintain that modest rose bed. Putting those thoughts to paper a little later, I began to see a correlation between the challenge of growing roses and developing high performing work teams. It was something I’d never thought of before, but the crossover was clear. Consider the following five points: A rose garden is a collection of individual flowers — no two are exactly alike, even if they are the same color or variety. Roses are often admired for their fragrance and beauty (in other words, for their strengths) — but watch out for those thorns! All rose gardens face the invasion of unwelcome weeds, which threaten to eventually steal the nutrients, choke out the flowering plants and prevent the garden from reach-

ing its potential. The weeds can be overcome by carefully spraying or pulling them out by the roots — but the task requires time, resources and energy. The benefits of weeding are immediately clear — but if the bed is left untended, they will come back. (So the process must be repeated time and again.) Team members, like roses, bring strengths and weaknesses to the table. Teams also benefit from weeding themselves of the outdated processes and ideas which threaten camaraderie and high performance. When we stop to attend to the needs and opportunities within the team, we promote growth. And then we are better equipped to know the ropes when it comes to working well, together. Funny all this started with an intention to stop and smell the roses. Contact marilyn@ taylortrain.com for professional support services in team building, organizational change and personal growth...

Book burning VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist

Here’s a really bad idea: Burn the Koran to send a message. Exactly what message is being sent is a matter of some debate. The 50-member “Dove World Outreach Center” and its pastor, Terry Jones, claim that “it’s maybe the right time for America to stand up. How long are we going to bow down? How long are we going to be controlled by the terrorists, by radical Islam?” Gen. David Petraeus, who is responsible for the lives of American men and women serving in Afghanistan, sees it rather differently: “Images of the burning of a Koran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence. ... Even the rumor that it might take place has sparked demonstrations... Were the actual burning to take place, the safety of our soldiers and civilians would be put in jeopardy and accomplishment of the mission would be made more difficult.” The issue here isn’t who is right. Petraeus is right. The issue is what to do about Jones and his congregants and their unnamed supporters. “We will not be responsible,” Jones has said in reaction to the concern that his acts could cause Americans to die. “We are only reacting to the violence that is already there in that religion.” The First Amendment protects the right of every American to practice their religion freely, whether Jones approves of it or not. The same First Amendment, of course, protects Jones’ right to protest the beliefs of that religion, however offensive those protests are to any sensible person. But the protection of the First Amendment is not absolute. As Justice Oliver

Wendell Holmes famously put it, no one has a right to scream “fire” in a crowded theater (unless there is one). Whether spoken or symbolic, speech that presents a clear and present danger of causing violence, or is likely to cause imminent violence, has long been subject to regulation. On occasion, such regulation has gone too far. The more afraid we are — whether of Communism in the 50s or terrorism in the past decade — the stronger the impulse to see imminent threats. In these times, it is important to remember that terrorism is our enemy, not Muslims; that if we make Islam the enemy instead of extremism, if we turn lawabiding Muslims against us by attacking their religion instead of attacking terrorists, we will be fighting a war we can only lose. It is important, in short, to reaffirm that the Constitution does indeed protect the rights of Muslims to practice their religion, which is far more vulnerable right now than the right of Terry Jones to try to stop them. Jones is entitled to his views. He is entitled to express them peaceably. He is entitled to hold demonstrations and make speeches, even if what he says strikes me, and many others, as shortsighted and wrong. But he does not have the right to endanger American lives. He may not want to accept responsibility for the consequences of his acts, but the rest of us are entitled to impose it on him. Not one American life should be lost because of the irresponsible action of Terry Jones. If attention is what he is after — and I don’t doubt it is — he’s got it. Everyone around the world has heard of him and his 50 members. We know what they think. He’s sent his message loud and clear. But there are limits. Burning a Koran goes beyond lawful protest. It is, with tens of thousands of Americans in harm’s way, the modern equivalent of crying fire in a crowded theater. And it should be stopped.

Can you smell what Obama’s cooking? VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist You may recall Barack Obama claiming that the original stimulus plan didn’t need any more tax cuts or “piecemeal” measures. To suggest so was to engage in “politics as usual.” And trust me; you don’t want to be caught going there. And today? You know what, America? You look as if you’re ready for some piecemeal measures and a fake tax cut! No doubt it came as a shock to many of you that weatherizing windows couldn’t get a $14 trillion economy cooking again. But if an $800 billion infusion of government and union bailouts failed to spur any decent economic growth, then how is a new “piecemeal” $50 billion stimulus going to work out? Media reports tell me this is more complex. The president has devised an exhilarating new plan that will not only “jump-start” job creation but also fund and rebuild the “crumbling” infrastructure of the United States in brand-new ways. Have you noticed that

the infrastructure always is “crumbling” in news stories and presidential speeches — if less regularly in the real world. To many Democrats, “crumbling” means we’re not subsidizing smart grids and high-speed rail projects fast enough. For those of you who drive, though, a recent Reason Foundation study measures the condition and cost-effectiveness of roads — including deficient bridges, urban traffic congestion, fatality rates, pavement condition, etc. — and finds that roads haven’t been in better shape at any time in the past 19 years. Then again, free market nihilists always are daydreaming about bridges collapsing on innocent Americans — if at all possible, poor and disabled Americans. We should concede that the highway system has been mismanaged by government and that it always could use more efficient funding. But creating a system wherein Washington dictates spending dollars is hardly a brilliant new plan. It’s the same plan this administration has for funding public schools, student loans, mortgages, health insurance and energy — among other knickknacks — which is to say, centrally and with progressive ethical strings tightly attached. Speaking of which, today it’s expected that Obama will announce a proposal to permanently extend the business research and development tax credit. Not a new tax cut, mind you, but an acceleration of

one that exists. That seems helpful. (No, seriously.) Tax cuts for small businesses are always morally acceptable. Small businesses are innocuous coffee shops. Big business is chemical spills. They don’t deserve anything. Tax cuts for small businesses help florists, whereas “capital gains” cuts help hedge fund managers, who should be drawn and quartered, not rewarded. During Labor Day weekend, I caught a number of Democratic candidates calling themselves tax cutters in ads. Yet nearly all of the tax cuts Americans have seen the past year and a half advance some liberal moral or social good. The overriding goal of the stimuli and tax breaks — from the things we build to the jobs we save to the tax credits we get — is to pick economic winners, steer us in the right direction and wheedle citizens to be good boys and girls. To offer comprehensive, amoral cuts would be to admit ideological defeat. To allow them to work would mean a long-term disaster for Obama and the type of Democrats who now inhabit Congress. This president never would surrender to such indignity. David Harsanyi is a columnist at The Denver Post and the author of “Nanny State.” Visit his website at www.DavidHarsanyi.com.

FROM PAGE 1 RECORD From page 1 to collect. “That just boggles my mind,” Blackwell said. “Whether we make the hallelujah goal of half a million, we’ll see.” But though the money will go a long way toward helping the children of BCH, RideNC2010 is almost as much about raising awareness as it is funds. Seeing the crowd at Lexington’s rally, Blackwell was pleased with the way that part of the mission was going. “This is magnificent,” he said. “It’s not just breaking the record, but the fact that we’ve mobilized all these people across North Carolina.” And not quite halfway into his ride, Blackwell says Boone could probably use the encouragement. The RideNC2010 support team — friends and family following the biker in cars to provide food, drink and a change of clothes throughout the three days — kept the crowd at the Farmer’s Market posted on

rector of Carolina Cancer Services (CCS). “It was the legacy of somebody many years older. Her story raised awareness to an entire community as to the needs that are out there.” Myers knows all-to-well the pain of losing a child. Her 10-year-old daughter passed away from leukemia several years ago, and she continues her efforts to raise awareness at CCS. “My dream has always been to keep her legacy going,” Myers said. “Community support is imperative. Just knowing that I had a safety net, that I had people who were there and a community that rallied behind me, made all the difference in the world. It makes you pay it forward and want to give back.” Myers said it’s difficult for organizations like CCS to raise money as people feel more comfortable donating to a person, a face they can see and relate to. Kate has been the face for children with leukemia for two

years and the goal of CCS is to continue keeping people aware that there are literally thousands of children who also are suffering from terminal diseases. “There are so many children in our community with cancer,” said Myers. “The needs are there and they are not stopping. The Thornton family was very fortunate to have so much support, but not every family is that blessed. The needs are great and are bigger than any one family could ever imagine. When CCS or Kisses4Kate are asking for donations, people need to remember those faces that we see every day. Their sweet little eyes, we see them all the time, the community doesn’t.” Myers is currently trying to help another 5-year-old child with cancer who is living in single-wide mobile home that is more than 30 years old with no central air. CCS has 260 people receiving chemotherapy and pays close to $20,000 a month for prescription medications. September is Breast Cancer Awareness month and 26-percent of the people at CCS

Dr. Tony Peele, assistant superintendent for human resources, told the board that the summer’s hiring process went very well. “It actually was a little better summer for us because we prepared last summer, not because we had floods of money coming in,” Peele said. “We did a lot of things last year to get started trying to prepare for this year, so we were able to fill a majority of our vacant positions.” Peele says 122 new people have joined

I’ve got a lot of faith in everybody, a lot of faith in teachers and the administration that we are staying with this. This is giving us another tool to work with.” The criminal behavior policy was also updated, saying that the superintendent must inform the board of any reports regarding certain acts that happen on school property. The principal also must notify parents or guardians of the students alleged to be victims, as

Boone’s progress. Just before he topped the hill, children and adults alike lined the street, holding colored signs and chanting “Go Chris! Go Chris!” “Part of it is for us to be just supportive of him,” Blackwell said. “He’s doing this for those kids. The least we can do is come out and say thank you.” The magnificence of the event hasn’t been lost on BCH’s children, either. All those at the rally grinned and laughed in excitement, reaching out to give Boone a high-five as he rode by. Despite his exertion and lack of sleep, Boone couldn’t help but smile at the enthusiasm. “He’s doing an amazing job raising money for the children’s home,” said Simon, 14, who has lived at Mills Home Campus for about a year. “In the time that I’ve been here, no one has raised money for us like this.” Sitting out in the rain for an hour waiting for Boone to arrive seemed no chore, either. When asked why come out to support the BCH biker, 11-year-old Aimee smiled and answered — “Because he’s supporting us.”

Manzella said Kisses4Kate is continuing to raise money for the Thornton family, and once their house is paid for, the organization will focus its fundraising efforts on another child. Pink “Kisses For Kate” bracelets still will be available at stores across the area, and Manzella said Kisses4Kate is already in the early planning stages of assisting another local family affected by cancer who is in need of housing. “We want to try and relieve some of the stress these families are feeling,” Manzella said. “We’re not talking about moving a mountain, we just talking about having some compassion. More people have become aware through Kate. We have to keep this momentum going. We’ve had so many people say they want to participate. We want to continue being a physical presence that isn’t going away. This has buckled our knees but we will get back up.” For more information, call CCS at 249-7265 or visit www.kisses4kate. org.

the Davidson County Schools’ team, 18 of which were lateral entry. Despite the plethora of hires, however, seven vacant positions remain. “The majority of these vacancies came from some additional federal funding that we received very late in the summer, so a few schools that are on the bubble as far as their enrollment for gaining a teacher or not gaining a teacher were able to gain that teacher,” Peele said. The system also retained 90 percent of its teachers — though the official numbers from the state won’t arrive until later this fall. “We’re good, or just a little bit better, than our five-year average for retention of teachers,” Peele said.

well as law enforcement officers.

School personnel on the lookout Jay Temple, executive director of auxiliary services, drove up to Midway Middle School to take a picture of the roof construction’s progress. As he pulled up, he got a call on his cell phone. Sitting in his car, he chatted for a few minutes before getting out and snapping the shot. Inside the middle school, someone noticed the parked car. Teachers put the campus on red alert, speaking rapidly into walky talkies identifying the white vehicle and informing other administrators of its progress as Temple slowly drove towards the front

of the building. “When I got around to the front of the building, I was greeted,” Temple said. “Of course they said, ‘Oh, it’s just you.’ You laugh, but think about what that means. The idea that our schools and our teachers are that aware of what’s going on at these campuses — that should give people a great feeling for how secure our schools are.”

THS set for throwdown in Albemarle WEEK 4 SCHEDULE

East hopes for better showing against SWR Cougars BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor When Albemarle and Thomasville lock horns on the gridiron Friday night, the Bulldogs are assured of coming away with victory. Whether they are of the blue or red variety remains to be seen. With identical 3-0 records to start 2010, there is always plenty of excitement surrounding an AHS-THS showdown. For much of the last decade, the 1-A champion has either been Albemarle or Thomasville. The Blue ‘Dogs remain in the 1-A classification, but the Red ‘Dogs have moved up to 2-A. That does not mean Albemarle should be considered less of a threat. AHS left Cushwa Stadium with a 14-13 win in 2009, and have the

players and coaching to produce a similar result at home this Friday. “This is an outstanding football team,” THS assistant coach Dickie Cline said of the opposing Bulldogs. “They are physical on defense and have great athletes. Offensively, they are explosive. They can run it and the quarterback and receivers are dangerous. We cannot go to sleep in the secondary.” Tailback Demetrius Hamilton is averaging 97.7 rushing yards per game, while quarterback Nat Dunlap comes in at 165 yards per game passing. Defensively, tackle Lorell Jones is an imposing defender with a 6-4, 265-pound frame. He could help bottle up the rushing attack of THS, but that will be a daunting task as the offense of the Red ‘Dogs seems to be picking up speed.

gether.” The Knights were under attack through the first two games, as the Storm reeled off two relatively easy sets to go up a pair of games. The tables turned in the third, though, and the Knights came roaring back behind the hard, outside-hitting of Brittany Tolbert. Surry snatched eight of the first 10 points — seven of them via a kill with Tolbert having four. DCCC’s response was immediate, as the next five points went in favor of the Storm to trail 8-7. That would be as close as they would get with Surry putting a game win on the board. Much like the third set, SCC jumped on the Storm early and often in the fourth. A 5-0 start forced Ad-

CHAPEL HILL — The resignation of North Carolina associate head coach John Blake, who coached the defensive line, on Sunday shocked his players, they said during interviews Tuesday. Blake, who has drawn the interest of the NCAA because of his connection to prominent NFL agent Gary Wichard, said in a prepared statement that he stepped down because he had become a distraction. His players, however, said they did not believe Blake had become a distraction. “It was a shock to everybody,” junior defensive lineman Quinton Coples said. “We never would have saw this coming. We never would have thought it would come to this point where he had left us. “When he told us, it was shock to all of us.” Coples said Blake, who was regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, was more than just a coach and was regarded as a father figure. Freshman defensive lineman Kareem Martin, who was recruited by Blake, said he was the best coach he ever had. “Coach Blake, he was a very religious man and just tried to ... teach us how to be a man, teach us more than just football,” Martin said. UNC coach Butch Davis has known Blake since coaching him in high school in the 1970s but said he did not know why Blake chose this particular time to resign. “I think he felt that [be-

Devils should get more of a test from WFU BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — While the glow from Saturday night’s win over Elon remains present around the Duke football program, the time for celebrating is long past. The Blue Devils face increasingly difficult assignments over the next two weeks. Duke jumps into ACC play Saturday at Wake Forest, a team they’ve lost to 10 consecutive times, before top-ranked Alabama comes to Wallace Wade Stadium on Sept. 18. On Tuesday, examining the Demon Deacons, Duke coach David Cutcliffe told the players they will need to do more than what they displayed in the 41-27 nonconference win over Elon. “We’ve got to change the gear,” Cutcliffe said. “No offense to Elon, but this is an ACC team -- a very physical Wake Forest team that we are going to have to be much more intense against on both sides of the ball if we are going to have a chance to get a road win.” Cutcliffe tossed the word “physical” around half a dozen times, at least, during his 25-minute news conference Tuesday. Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe prefers a hardcharging rushing attack that relies on dominance at the line of scrimmage. Now that Riley Skinner, Wake’s all-time leader in passing yards, has graduated, the Demon Deacons are back in Grobe’s chosen style. In a season-opening 5313 win over Presbyterian Thursday night, Wake Forest rushed for six touchdowns and gained

BLAKE From page 7 ing a distraction] was the case,” Davis said. “I think it was a distraction in his own life.” The loss of Blake not only upset his players but also has caused a shuffle in the coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Everett Withers will take over the linebackers while Art Kaufman, the current linebackers coach, will shift over to the defensive line. Also helping out with the line will be Norris McCleary, who works in player development and played defensive line at East Carolina and in the NFL. “We just felt like it was in our best interest to try to handle this internally ... ,” Davis said. “These are guys that are familiar with our players, they are familiar with our schemes, they are familiar with the concepts of what we’re trying to do.” Davis said he also would become more involved with the defensive line for at least the first couple of weeks until everything gets settled. “It’s going to take a couple of days to get over this situation, but we’ve got to move on,” junior defensive tackle Tydreke Powell said. “That’s what Coach Blake would want us to do, so we’ve just got to take what he taught us over the years and just

415 rushing yards. Given that his Blue Devils allowed Elon to gain 406 total yards and average a healthy 5.95 yards per rushing attempt, Cutcliffe said defense must play more physical football important this week. “If we don’t, we’re in trouble,” Cutcliffe said. “We had what I would call high-contact work (Tuesday) morning. You can’t get ready for that kind of running game and that kind of defensive pressure without hitting. We went out on the practice field with that mentality.” Linebacker Abraham Kromah recorded four tackles and an interception against Elon. The redshirt senior, one of Duke’s team captains this season, said his group is committed to improving quickly. “We just need to improve on being more fundamentally sound and communicating on defense,” Kromah said. “Little things that can really be corrected that lead to big plays. Missing tackles. Staying home on blitzes. Little things that are very correctable.” After looking at the Elon film, Cutcliffe said Duke’s effort was excellent but the main problem was some players were out of position. The Blue Devils instituted a new defensive scheme during spring practice and preseason that utilized multiple fronts. On occasion Saturday night, confusion resulted. “That’s probably my fault,” Cutcliffe said. “Trying to do too much. You just can’t afford it. You can’t afford to make mistakes. You have to be in the right place at the right time.”

move on from that.” Blake was responsible for the recruitment of Powell and other players, such as wide receiver Jheranie Boyd. He also recruited defensive tackle Marvin Austin, who is at the center of an ongoing NCAA investigation into improper contact with agents and accepting illegal benefits. Austin was suspended indefinitely from the team a week ago for violation of team rules unrelated to the two investigations and is not practicing with the team. “[Coach Blake is] a down to earth guy,” Martin said about Blake’s recruiting technique. “He connects well with the families, and he feels like somebody I can trust. He got to know my parents real well, and he’s just a good man overall.” Coples said Blake was not his designated recruiter but was influential in getting the fourstar high school standout to attend UNC. Coples said the defensive line is like one big family, and the players are going to stick together to get through the situation. “It’s going to be tough as far as us moving forward, but ... he wanted us to move on,” Coples said. “It was the best decision that he had to make. We’ve got to respect that, but he’s always with us and he’s always a phone call away.”

THROWDOWN From page 7 we are not turning the ball over.” If the defense possibly gets any better for the Bulldogs, they would be downright scary. Thomasville shut down a very good Wonders’ defense in Week 3, and the special teams helped out in a big way with a touchdown

return on the opening kickoff and great kicking from Lawson Hodges. “They played outstanding, and we needed a game where we were able to do the little things better,” Cline said. “We just need to keep improving because the people we are playing are definitely improving. If we play with the effort we did last week, we feel we will see improvement. Whether or not that will equal

into a win — that is to be seen.”

Southwestern Randolph enters having defeated North Moore 37-6 last week, but the Golden Eagles should fair well against the Cougars. East edged past SWR on the road in 2009, but had a

different team than they do this season. EDHS is still trying to figure out its new option offense as well, so the Cougars may be able to disrupt things in the backfield and take advantage of East’s mistakes. Ledford is idle this week.

A kill by Lauren Leonard would make it 16-14 Storm moments later, then two more points went to the home team, leaving Surry in a position to call for time. The score went on to favor Surry 21-20, but North Davidson product Meagan Everhart put David-

son in prime position to finish out the game. Her two kills and dump shot left DCCC two points away from a win, but the next four points were all Knights, tying the match at 2-2. That did not please Adkins at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally had to yell at them for the first time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I guess it worked,â&#x20AC;? she said. Game 5 was tight the whole way through, but the Storm were the only one to garner a match point opportunity. Leading 13-12, Amber

Owens hit the ball in the net to give DCCC a double-match point. Jackie Thompson was set up for the game-winning kill, but hit long to keep Surry alive. On the ensuing point, libero Heather McDaniel hammered a kill from the back line past two diving Knight players, putting an end to the nail-biting match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have really come together,â&#x20AC;? said Adkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some have had to step up to new positions and they have done well doing so.â&#x20AC;?

Learn Your MDGs Ten years ago, as we entered a new millennium (a period of 1,000 years), an important meeting took place at the United Nations in New York City. Officials from 189 countries made a promise to try to achieve eight goals to make our world a better place by 2015. These are called the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs. On Sept. 20-22, government representatives will meet again to talk about the progress weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also discuss what more must be done in the next five years to achieve the MDGs. This week, The Mini Page learns more about the MDGs and how kids are working to help meet these global challenges. Read this issue with your family or teacher and talk about the goals.

About 70 million children around the world do not attend school because of cost or other reasons.

Every day, 16,000 children die from hungerrelated causes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one child every five seconds. Many of these deaths can be prevented. When children eat food regularly, they are healthier and more active. For this goal, the targets include: Cut in half the number of people who live on less than $1.25 per day. Find work for all men and women.

Target: Ensure that boys and girls will receive a full primary education.

What is the United Nations?

Do what kids do best: Stand up, make noise!

The United Nations is a group of 192 member countries. They cooperate, or work together, for security, human rights, peace, and the development of economies, or countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money systems.

On Sept. 17-19, people all over the world will join to Make a Noise for the MDGs! U.N. officials hope to make people more aware of the goals and gain support for projects. For instance, in Harlem, a neighborhood in New York City, a gospel choir will give a concert. In Thailand, people will bang spoons on empty plates. In Africa, drum circles will make a big noise. Why not plan a Make a Noise event in your neighborhood or town? Be sure to take photos!

Kanji is an inexpensive and wholesome rice gruel that is the staple food of the poor throughout India. It is also easy to digest by people who are sick with flu or fever. Thanks to Dylan Mahalingam for sharing this recipe with The Mini Page.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need: s 1 2 cup whole green mung or other beans s 1 2 cup parboiled rice (the red variety is more commonly used) or double-boiled rice s SALT s TOPPINGS SUCH AS PICKLES COOKED VEGETABLES

nuts, fruit, cinnamon or honey What to do: 1. Bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add the mung beans and cook until the beans get mushy. 2. Bring three cups of water to boil.

Girl Scouts

Dylan Mahalingam hears what a lot of kids hear from their parents at the dinner table: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste food. Dylan thought, how could I give my food to a person somewhere else who needs it? Dylan traveled to India when he was 9, where he saw poverty and children working instead of going to school. h4HIS WAS SHOCKING TO ME v HE SAID h)T MADE IT REAL v 7ITH HIS older sister and cousins, Dylan came up with the idea for Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MDGs. Now 14, Dylan is a youth speaker for the United Nations. Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MDGs is involved in many different projects to help kids and adults.

Girl Scouts are used to helping others. So in 2008, Girl Scouts began projects to help reach the Millennium Development Goals. Each year, the Girl Scouts choose one of the eight goals, and then local councils or troops create projects for that goal. The Mini Page talked with a program specialist at a Girl Scout council in Fresno, Calif., to learn about the projects theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on.

In 2006 he batted .333, with 24 homers and 94 RBIs, and was awarded a six-year contract.

Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice

Children make and donate stuffed animals for kids. This project was organized by Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MDGs and Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Dylan said kids who want to help others should think about which problems they feel most STRONGLY ABOUT h&OLLOW YOUR passion. You have to try a lot of different things before YOU FIND WHAT YOU RE PASSIONATE ABOUT v $YLAN SAID &OR him, the reward has been getting people together to work toward unified goals.

Malaria In 2009, members held a penny drive to raise $3,000 for mosquito nets. Mosquitos can carry a deadly disease, malaria, and infect people they bite. Scouts collected a penny for each pair of shoes they own and a nickel for each TV in their home.

Ending hunger For 2010, Girl Scouts worked with Heifer International to provide animals, such as cows, to families in need. The families raise the animal and then pass on one of its babies to another family in need.

In 2008, Girl Scouts built 300 water pasteurization indicators, or WAPIs, to send to South America and Africa. These simple tools tell people when water is safe for drinking. photo courtesy Girl Scouts of Central California South

AREA NEWS LoďŹ&#x201A;in serves as Commissioners Youth Summit delegate TIMES STAFF REPORT

Alexandria Loflin, daughter of Jones and Lisa Loflin of Denton, and member of Cedar Springs 4-H Club, was selected as the Davidson County delegate to the inaugural North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Youth Summit â&#x20AC;&#x201C;YouthVoice 2010, which was held in Greenville, North Carolina Aug. 27-28. Held in conjunction with the annual county commissioners meeting and sponsored by the NCACC, more than 80 youth and adults from 74 counties attended the event. During YouthVoice 2010, attendees had a chance to interact with County Commissioners, attend the annual Horn of Plenty event, sponsored by NC Cooperative Extension, participate in workshop sessions and attend NC SPIN. In addition, the youth attendees debated and

Loflin decided on the top ten issues facing youth. These issues stemmed from ones that 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers and youth in every county identified and compiled. Youth then met in groups to prioritize the top ten issues in their Extension district. From the district meetings, one youth per county was invited to attend YouthVoice 2010 and bring their district issues. From over 60 issues, the delegation attending YouthVoice 2010 determined the top 10 issues facing youth in North Carolina. The State 4H Council officer team

shared the top ten issues with the County Commissioners. YouthVoice 2010 was developed because of NCACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 President Mary Accorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to youth and to developing youth leaders. The event was sponsored by the NCACC. North Carolina 4-H Youth Development and North Carolina Cooperative Extension were the lead partners and led the efforts to plan the conference and organize YouthVoice 2010. North Carolina 4-H has over 240,926 youth enrolled in the program as well as 21,200 youth and adult volunteers. North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T State University commit themselves to positive action to secure equal opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status, or disability. In addition, the two Universities welcome all persons without regard to sexual orientation.

Middle school poster contest entries sought TIMES STAFF REPORT

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is challenging middle school students nationwide to create a poster to help teach families about the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) in the home. CPSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poster contest is open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8. For each grade level, three finalists will be selected for a total of nine finalists. Each finalist will win $250 in prize money. CPSC judges will choose the best overall poster and the winner will receive an additional $500. CPSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal for the poster contest is to raise awareness and to help reverse a deadly trend. CO is an odorless, colorless and deadly gas. It is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Invisible Killerâ&#x20AC;? because you cannot see it or smell it and it can kill its victims quickly. Each year more than 150 people die from accidental non-fire carbon monoxide poisoning

associated with consumer products in the United States and that number is on the rise. Most of the increase is due to consumers improperly using generators indoors, in attached garages or in other enclosed spaces. Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; posters will be evaluated on the clarity of their CO safety message, visual appeal and design originality.

The poster contest runs from Sept. 7 through Dec. 31, 2010, during which time submissions will be accepted online or by mail. Find out more about the contest and the rules or submit posters at www.challenge.gov/cpsc. Posters can also be submitted by mail to CPSC Poster Contest, 4330 East West Hwy, Rm. 519, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Thomasville City Schools outlines goals for 2010-11 BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Keith Tobin outlined his system-wide goals for the upcoming year at Tuesday’s monthly b o a r d meeting. I n creased parental involvement, Tobin maintaining high expectations for students and a district-wide focus on literacy were all part of Tobin’s focus for the new school calendar. Tobin told school board members that students need the skills necessary to compete in today’s workforce, but it will take a system-wide effort in order to be successful. “We’ll do our part, but we need help,” Tobin said. “We want to get parents more involved and bring them in to show how important it is to be involved in their children’s lives.” Creating engaging classrooms, building relationships and professional development for employees are all ways TCS can continue moving forward in a 21st Century learning environment, Tobin said. Ensuring all TCS students are reading at or above grade level and helping them maintain healthy, responsible habits are all keys to success in the classroom. “If we’re going to move forward we need all our children reading at grade level,” said Tobin. “If they can read, they can do anything across the board. Literacy is key. We also have to expect the best for our students. If you get a child believing you care about them, they will perform.” Tobin wants to see TCS continue integrating technology into the classroom. He wants the new one-to-one laptop initiative at Thomasville High School and other technology programs to remain sustainable, and presented a five-year capital outlay plan that will annually upgrade these types of initiatives. “We’ve got a lot of stuff going on this year,” Tobin said. “We’ve made significant improvements the last two years and we want to keep moving forward. Technology integration into the curriculum is vital.” In other news: • All four city school principals also presented their plans for the upcoming year. THS’ Deboy Beamon said he was not pleased with the gap between white, black and Hispanic students. Beamon said it’s too easy for students to simply “get by” and an environment where a student can make Ds and never study is not acceptable at THS. “I don’t believe in gaps,” Beamon said. “It comes down to effort. We need our students concentrating on not just getting by, but excelling.” Thomasville Middle School Assistant Principal Matt Pugh said his school’s goal is to improve math, reading and science scores by 10-percent this year. He also wants TMS to provide a climate “where all students feel safe.” Pugh said referrals were down considerably last year and that will lead to better student performance.

“Kids want to get involved in bad things when school isn’t working for them” said Pugh. Liberty Drive Elementary Principal Benjie Brown also wants to his school to improve on reading, math and science scores. LDE will continue its reading initiative and will start addTHURSDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

testing is a long process and the some students tire during the day. “Our children wore out,” said Gaylord. “We want to increase reading stamina in our children.” • TCS Finance Director Tammy Stromko presented the 2011 capital budget to board members that

included $690,000 from Davidson County Commissioners after bond payments were subtracted. • Board members tabled a corporal punishment policy for 30 days.
