Piedmont Crossing hosts candidate forum BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

Thirteen Thomasville candidates discussed crime, education and other issues at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Home on Thursday during a candidate forum. Present were city council incumbents Raleigh York, Scott Styers, David Yemm, Ricky Murphy, Neil Grimes, Pat Shelton and George Burton, and challengers Carl Shatley, Jacqueline Jackson, Jay Browning and Ronald

Bratton. Joining them were Mayor Joe Bennett and mayoral candidate Terry Hill. All candidates were asked what ideas they have that would help curb juvenile delinquency in the city. Most of them agreed that while this isn’t a big problem in Thomasville, it is important to promote parental involvement and constructive activities in order to keep it that way. “This is something that will not go away, and we’ve got to be on top of

it at all times, working through other organizations to make that happen,” Bennett said. Bennett, who serves on the Thomasville Coalition of Alcohol and Drugs, used that organization’s basketball camp as an example of a good structured summer activity for children. Shelton suggested advocating more Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops in the city to fill that purpose as well. Children need to learn responsibility at home, Grimes said, and pro-

grams like Communities In Schools help teach children to be responsible at school. York said that children may not have positive adult role models inside the home, so mentoring programs should be supported. Council members Burton and Murphy were asked how they felt about a possible merger of the three school systems in Davidson County, and they both said they were

TMC looks to expand geriatric department

Free lunch planned for public service workers BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

Thomasville Medical Center is asking the state to approve the addition of seven beds to its 26-bed geriatric psychiatric unit. “We have a need for additional beds to treat our patients in Davidson County,” said Kathie Johnson, TMC president. “There is a lot of demand for it. Our utilization has exceeded 80 percent for the last three months and the 75 percent target occupancy rate for the last six months.” Johnson said that many older adults have multiple health conditions that affect both their physical and emotional well-being. According to the American Psychiatric association, about 10 percent of Americans aged 65 and older suffer from dementia. The figure is higher for depression. “Fifteen out of every

With Everybody’s Day on the horizon, a local funeral home is inviting all public employees to come out and enjoy a free lunch as a way to say thanks for all they do for the community. On Wednesday, Sept. 23, Thomasville Funeral Home, located at 18 Randolph St., will be hosting its third annual luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to firefighters, police officers, city council members, trash collectors and anyone else who serves the public in some capacity. “We’ve created a precedent for Public Servants Day,” Scott Kramer, TFH’s Funeral Director, said. “How many people are involved in day-to-day things that we never think twice about? How many people shake a fireman or garbage man’s hand? This seems like such a simple way to say thank you.”

or facility if you pay with cash. A 10 percent discount is reasonable. — Use outpatient services. Many procedures, even simple surgeries and invasive tests, can be done without your being admitted as an inpatient. Arrange to arrive at the hospital first thing in the morning so you can be home by evening. — Walk-in clinic. For routine issues, such as earaches and sore throats, visit a walk-in clinic in a retail store, such as CVS or Walmart. No appointment is necessary. Some clinics even take insurance. — Get samples. When your doctor prescribes a new medication, ask whether it is a brand name. If so, ask whether there are generics or overthe-counter drugs that could do the same job. At www.CRBestBuyDrugs.org, you can find reports that you can download and bring to your next appointment. If the brand name is a must, ask the doctor for samples so you can see how you respond before you spend the money for a month’s worth. — Be a splitter. Highdose pills generally are priced the same as their low-dose counterparts. Ask your doctor whether you can safely split a higher-dosage pill in half. Twice as many doses for the same amount of money can be like getting 50 percent off. — Can’t afford meds? If you have no prescription drug coverage, there are a number of public

VIEWPOINT

XXXX Syndicated Columnist

The cost of health care in America is skyrocketing. It’s a fact I know well, having been hit with an 18.96 percent increase to my health insurance premium. My first instinct was to cancel my insurance and take my chances. Then I came to my senses and placed an emergency call to Michelle Katz, author of “Healthcare for Less: Getting the Care You Need — Without Breaking the Bank.� Michelle gave me the advice I needed. She reminded me to ask for quotes from other health insurance providers in my area, and she offered tips to cut the cost of health care: — Ask for a discount. You can negotiate with service providers for lower medical bills. According to the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, everything in health care is negotiable, especially if you are underinsured or have a high deductible. — Cash upfront. Never be afraid to ask for a further discount from a health care provider

and private assistance programs that can help you pay for medications. Pharmaceutical companies run patient-assistance programs, and many states and other programs can help. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers a site, www.pparx.org, developed by major pharmaceutical companies and patient-advocacy groups. If you are eligible, you can enroll in programs through this site. Another site, www.NeedyMeds.org, offers other prescription and drug assistance programs. — An aspirin a day. Just one aspirin a day will keep the cardiologist away by sharply lowering your risk of a heart attack. Taking an aspirin a day costs about 20 cents a day. The cost to treat a heart attack — including hospital, doctor and medications — is tens of thousands of dollars and rising. Consult with your doctor before you take on an aspirin regimen.

Guest speaker shares experiences at Ghost Ranch with Woman’s Club TIMES STAFF REPORT The General Meeting of the Thomasville Woman’s Club began its new year on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at the club. Twenty-three members and one guest were present. Don Osborne was the guest speaker, and he gave a presentation of Ghost Ranch and his adventures with archeology there. Ghost Ranch is located in New Mexico and is owned by the Presbyterian Church. Osborne entertained the club members with a history of the ranch, his experiences digging for artifacts and a collection of his personal treasures that are hundreds of years old. Ghost Ranch is a facility that allows an archeological dig for two weeks each year. Its earliest history indicates that it was an area used by cattle rustlers, two who were brothers. In a dispute over money, one brother killed the other and was hung for his actions. Other legends that surround the area are that there were ghosts of a cow that flew down the canyon and a 30-foot rattlesnake that roamed the area. This kept the boarded-up ranch closed for 30 years. Carol Stanley opened it up and called it The Ranch of Witches. This name did not help the popularity of the ranch, so it was renamed Ghost Ranch. It is now the property of the church and has had a convention center added. Hiking and horseback riding are also available. There are cabins to stay in, but no indoor plumbing Those that go for the digging experience start out their day with breakfast in the main hall and then pack their bag lunches. A truck takes them to the dig site, where they look for artifacts from the Paleo Indians, a tribe that once lived in the area. The tribe was made up of mostly hunters, so arrowheads are expected to be found. In a dig, dirt is carefully scraped away, put in a dustbin, stored in a large bucket and then sifted to reveal any artifacts. If an artifact is found, it is recorded along with the location of where it was found. Don Osborne was born and raised in South Carolina. He is married to Jane, a member of the

Woman’s Club who is also from South Carolina. They have two grown children, Cindi and Jennifer, who have two chilidren each. Osborne entered the Air Force after graduation from high school and spent four years in Texas as an instructor and aircraft mechanic. After leaving the Air Force, he was employed by Remington Rand as an office machines repairman in High Point. Soon after

coming to High Point, he married Jane, and they have lived in Thomasville ever since. For the next 20 years, he was one of the owners of Archdale Office Supply. He is now retired. The Thomasville Woman’s Club meets the second Tuesday of each month at 11:45 a.m. For information about the club or to make a reservation for lunch, call Betsy Armfield at 476-6589.

FROM PAGE A1 Video of shooting involving Archdale officer FORUM and UNC student may be released BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

A Randolph County judge will decide on whether or not to release dash cam footage of the shooting that took place near Hopewell Church Road involving Archdale police and a UNC-Chapel Hill student. Judge Bradford Long listened to attorneys from various media outlets Friday who claim the video of 21-year-old Courtland Smith being shot by Archdale police officer Jeremy Flinchum, 29, on Aug. 23 should be released to the public, claiming it won’t compro-

THEFT From page A1 larceny call in mid-July where a woman said she had taken an Alkota pressure washer to get repaired on Eddinger Road.

mise the case. The video is currently under seal until a ruling is made, which could come in the next week. Andy Gregson, Assistant District Attorney in Randolph County, opposed the motion, claiming the dash cam video is not public record and should remain sealed. Gregson feels releasing the video will make it harder to find an impartial jury and could impact witness testimony. Authorities have already released the 911 call Smith made as he was driving down I-85 the morning he was shot to death. Smith admitted being drunk and driv-

ing over 100 mph to the dispatcher and said he had a 9mm pistol with him. Archdale police can be heard telling Smith to stay in the car when they pulled him over at the Hopewell Church Road exit between Trinity and Thomasville. An altercation ensued between Smith and police, but no more details have been released as to what prompted the fatal shooting. Smith, a junior at UNC, was president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

he no right to do that, prompting an investigation by the Breaking and Entering Task Force. “He had used the pressure washer before and knew it was being repaired,” Sheriff David Grice said. “He went to where it was being fixed, picked it up and sold it.” Detectives spoke with an employee at Doug Cranford Construction, a company founded by Kevin’s father and run by

his mother, who said numerous power tools went missing some time between July 6 and July 10, valued at $4,620. Deputies located a concrete saw at First National Pawn in High point belonging to Doug Cranford Construction and obtained warrants for Kevin Cranford’s arrest. Cranford was issued a $31,258.98 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 19.

From page A1 against it. “I think that each one of the three school systems is very unique with the challenges that they have, and … each one of them has to handle that very uniquely,” Murphy said. “I haven’t seen anything that says we can save money by merging the three systems, and I haven’t seen anything that says we’re going to educate the children better by being within a larger system.” Local citizen Barney Hill asked how the candidates would vote on the referendum to increase the term lengths of city council and the mayor, and whether they would try to revive the issue if the referendum failed.

than two years to grasp what’s going on in the budget workshops and to learn your duties as a city council member,” Burton said. Former police chief Bratton gave a unique perspective on Thomasville elections, saying that city departments would be reassured if some council members were certain to remain the same each election. “When the terms changed to two years, from a department seat standpoint in the city, it threw us off,” Bratton said. “Every two years, we could get all seven councilmen [replaced] … We need some continuity.”

Civility is overrated VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist If you’ve been paying attention lately, you may be under the impression that the United States is spiraling into mass incivility. The evidence keeps mounting: Rep. Joe Wilson’s yelling. Serena Williams’ yelling. Kanye West’s ... whatever. All of these uncouth characters have been strung together by critics to establish, indisputably, that there is a societal explosion of boorish and coarse behavior. On the political front, columnist Kathleen Parker calls this “a political era of uninhibited belligerence.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, lamenting an imaginary climate of violence, wishes “we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.” Such a preposterous statement should be actionable. Pelosi, who only recently compared her political opponents to Nazis, isn’t exactly a paragon of civil discourse. American politics always has been unsightly. Most of the time, in fact, far worse than today. Have we transformed into so brittle a citizenry that we are unable to handle a raucous debate over the future of the country? If things were quiet, subdued and “civil” in America today, as Pelosi surely wishes, it only would be proof that democracy isn’t working. It’s no accident, either, that those in power are generally the ones choking up about the lack of decorum. The truth is we could use far less bogus civility in Washington. Some of us, for instance, would prefer the superb system of debating used by the British Parliament. Watching those foppish MPs holler “poppycock, sir!” at one another during speeches is a pure pleasure. The British trade courteousness for a more productive, more honest and, most importantly, more entertaining debate. (The occasional Taiwanesestyle free-for-all parliamentary slap riot wouldn’t hurt C-Span’s ratings, either.) Instead, here at home, stilted House rules dictate that a member of Congress may not refer to the government as

“something hated, something oppressive.” Its members shall not call any unnamed officials “our half-baked nitwits handling foreign affairs,” no matter how true the statement may be. And they never, ever can describe the president as a “liar” or a “hypocrite” or claim he is “intellectually dishonest.” It’s a miracle anything is discussed, actually. Obviously, Rep. Wilson broke the rules when he rudely blurted out, “You lie!” The vulnerable souls inhabiting Congress — people who spend half their lives and millions of dollars smearing political opponents as child-hating, warmongering, brown-shirted socialists — were profoundly offended by this act of rudeness. For many, it was another sign of the intensifying coarseness in American society. Now, tennis (unlike politics) is, without question, one of the most civilized sports in the world. If there were any chance that Williams would shove an EXPLETIVE ball down the EXPLETIVE throat of a line judge, it might even be a sport worth watching. But despite the overwrought finger wagging of critics, the incident tells us nothing about society at large — other than that athletes can be competitive and lose their tempers. Neither does a hammered celebrity rapper making an idiot out of himself on the MTV (the exemplar of proper etiquette, no?) Video Music Awards. Yes, I, too, yearn for the bygone era of hip-hop chivalry, but those days, sadly, have passed. Where does that leave us? Exactly where we were 10 years ago — or 20. I’ve been around this country a bit, and most of the people I’ve encountered have been extraordinarily civil — even if they occasionally drink too much or embarrass themselves or curse at one another while playing pickup basketball. This new focus on civility is meant to cloud another issue. Let’s not confuse personal civility with political civility. A “civil” citizenry can mean a pliable citizenry, waiting — sometimes forever — to speak their minds. We have no duty to say “please” and “thank you” to elected officials. Not yet.

Diversionary tactics on both sides VIEWPOINT

LINDA CHAVEZ Syndicated Columnist Instead of a debate on the merits of President Obama’s health care proposals or congressional Democrats’ failure to produce a bill that has any chance of bipartisan support, we’ve been diverted this week by a disgraceful sideshow. Thanks to pundits and bloggers and political opportunists of all stripes, Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) cry “You lie” became the shot heard ‘round the world. Now, we have the unpleasant spectacle of the president’s most fawning supporters suggesting anyone who opposes his policies must be racist, while the president’s opponents defend discourtesy as a badge of honor. Let’s take a deep breath and go back to what actually happened in the House chamber when the president addressed a joint session of Congress to promote health care reform. Ironically, President Obama had just finished declaring that critics were telling lies about his health care proposals. He referred to “bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any costs,” and then said that the best example was “prominent politicians” who had accused the administration of planning to “set up panels of bureau-

crats with the power to kill off senior citizens.” He then went on to say that the claim was “a lie, plain and simple.” I can’t remember the last president who called his opponents liars — at least to their faces. And if Joe Wilson hadn’t forgotten he was on the floor of the House of Representatives, not a schoolyard or bar, we might actually have seen criticism of the president for his over-the-top rhetoric, not to mention a focus on the misstatements, exaggerations, and downright dishonesty of much of what the president said that night. Instead, we’re all talking about Joe Wilson and whether he’s a racist or a hero. In my book, he’s neither. Former President Jimmy Carter’s assertion that “there’s an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president,” is a calumny of the first order. Americans are the least racist people in the world — that’s not my judgment; it’s born out by every crossnational assessment of racial attitudes taken in the last several decades. Does that mean there are no racists in America? Of course not — about one in 10 Americans holds some prejudicial views about people of other races, a figure that has remained relatively constant over the last few decades. But, bigotry comes in all colors. In a 2007 Pew Research Center poll, one of the few studies that measured interracial attitudes among minorities as well as whites, about 8 percent of whites harbored animus towards blacks, while 10 percent of blacks held similarly negative views of whites. Calling somebody a racist

has become the new McCarthyism — not much different than calling someone a communist, without any evidence, during the Cold War. It’s a dangerous game — and one that should discredit those who hurl the epithet every bit as much as it harms the one at whom it’s aimed. Just as McCarthyism undermined the legitimate fight against actual communists, calling everyone who doesn’t agree with an African-American president a racist will make it harder to fight real racism if it occurs. I’m still not willing to let Rep. Wilson totally off the hook, however. He behaved badly and there is no excuse for it. He owed an apology not just to the president — to whom he did apologize almost immediately — but to his colleagues as well. I learned long ago that the best way to get beyond a mistake — and name-calling during a presidential speech certainly qualifies — is to say you’re sorry, without excuses, exceptions or justifications. He should have put the matter to rest with a one-minute speech on the floor of the House the morning after the outburst. Maybe he wouldn’t have become a folk hero to those on the right who favor guerilla theater, but if he had apologized to his colleagues for his discourteous behavior, maybe we could have spent the week talking President Obama’s misrepresentations instead of Joe Wilson’s name-calling.

FROM PAGE A1 LUNCH From page A1

Guests will be treated to a hot dog lunch and live entertainment from Greensboro musician Rob Massengail. Kramer, a New York native with personal ties to firefighters affected by the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, feels the luncheon is a good way for the public to say thank you to civil service employees and also allows those involved in public works to meet each other and share a meal together. “I want them to know there are people who think abut them,” said Kramer. “There are people who appreciate what they do. Sure, they get paid, but it’s always nice to have someone pat you on your back and say you’re doing a great job.” Kramer has already put out more than 200 flyers around Thomasville and has extended invitations

TMC From page A1 100 adults over the age of 65 in the United States suffer from depression,” Johnson said. “It’s a very treatable mental illness if patients are in the right setting.” Out of the five counties in the hospital’s planning region – Davidson, Rowan, Stanly, Union and Cabarrus – only Cabarrus County has a hospital with a geriatric psychiatric unit, consisting of 10 beds. “We have people coming from surrounding counties to us,” she said. TMC has filed a petition with the state to amend the draft of the 2010 state medical facilities plan to add seven new beds for the planning region that includes Davidson County. The hospital would convert seven acute beds at Thomasville to seven psychiatric beds, and renovations and improvements would cost the hospital about $500,000. The unit also would expand its staff by 12 to 15 people. If that petition is approved, which the hospital will know by Oct. 9, then the state will add seven geriatric psychiatric beds to the 2010 state

to every city worker he could think of. Since the event has been so popular the previous two years, Kramer plans on celebrating Public Servants Day as long as he is in the Chair City. He said he picked the Wednesday before Everybody’s Day because it falls around the anniversary of Sept. 11 and is a time when public service is in people’s thoughts. “I think it’s an excellent thing they do for public services,” Derek Medlin, Thomasville Fire Department Battalion Chief, said. “This will be my first time going. Everybody getting together is good too because you get to share some camaraderie with different services.” For more information on Public Servants Day, call Kramer at 472-7723.

medical facilities plan. In 2010, the hospital would have to apply again to operate the beds, and state officials would inspect them before the unit opens. The geriatric psychiatric unit at Thomasville Medical Center has been open since July of 2002, and it was expanded in 2007, Johnson said. With the addition of the new beds, the hospital plans to expand again into an unused part of the hospital adjacent to the current unit, making upgrades to the facilities so that they are fit for use. Johnson said that the county population ages 65 and older is expected to increase 47 percent between 2009 and 2020, from 21,000 to 31,000. In comparison, the total population growth in the county is expected to be 18 percent. “It’s our mission to take care of all the patients in Davidson County, and this is a real need for Davidson County residents,” Johnson said. “We’re very hopeful that this will be approved so that we’re providing something that the community needs.” Staff Writer Karissa Minn can be reached at 888-3576 or newsdesk@ tvilletimes.com.

BY MISTI AND JOE COYNE Special to the Times How important are your relationships and associations to your overall success in life? The answer is extremely important! There is an old adage which states, “It’s difficult to soar with the eagles, when you’re scratching with the turkeys!â€? In fact, scratching with the turkeys can keep you from enjoying the success that is available to everyone! I recently read an article adapted from a speech by Colin Powell. The content is challenging and could lead you to take a personal inventory of your current associations. Have you ever considered this? The less you associate with some people, the MORE your life will improve. As you continue to “GrowUp Spirituallyâ€? your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want to go on; they will want to stay where they are. Here are some interesting points to ponder... • Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dreams. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you. • Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl. • Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. • An important attribute of successful people is their intolerance of negative action and thinking. • Never receive counsel from unproductive people • Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution. It is interesting that those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. • Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. • You are certain to get the worst end of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. • Don’t follow anyone who is going nowhere... you will end up getting there together. • With some people you spend an evening; with others you invest it.

• Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions on the road of life. • If you run with the wolves you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you ill learn how to soar to great heights. • A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. • Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. • In prosperity our friends know us. In adversity we know our friends. • Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them. • If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. The simple truth of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good or for the bad. That applies to family as well as friends. As the saying goes, “You can pick your friends, but not your family.â€? If there are negative people in your family or even your house you do have choices. You can choose to be upbeat and positive. Yes, do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family. Just know that they are human first. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.â€? Do you want to experience success and improve your life? Romans 12:2 says, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.â€? The NLT version says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.â€? Be encouraged today, you can greatly improve your life with the power of associations. Choose to become a “Friend of God.â€? By closely associating with Him you will become more and more like Him.

Staff Writer MOCKSVILLE — Thomasville’s offense waited entirely too long to make an appearance Friday night at War Eagle Stadium. The Bulldogs scored just one offensive touchdown in a 17-15 defeat to the Davie County War Eagles, sending THS to its fourth straight loss. “We got beat up front a little bit,” Bulldogs’

coach Allen Brown said. “We couldn’t get our protection and then we had a comedy of errors. It was tough. They are a big, strong 4-A team that whipped us up front.

Is Chase champ destined for Disney?

TIMES PHOTO/ZACH KEPLEY

Mark Martin has sole possession of NASCAR’s best seat in the house heading into Race 1 of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup at New Hampshire Motor Speedway — the front seat. When the field for the Chase was set following the race at Richmond, Martin’s reaction to his enviable position at the top of the driver standings was to praise his crew chief, Alan Gustafson, and say, “I’m having the time of my life.” Well, duh. With four wins, six poles, nine top fives, 14 top 10s and about $4 million in winnings so far this season, what other kind of time would we expect him to be having? Still, there’s one triumphant sentence we have yet to hear from Mark Martin. In 1987, The Walt Disney Company premiered a now-famous advertising campaign that they called “What’s Next?” The TV commercials featured a celebrity, usually an athlete, who appeared to be answering a question posed by an unseen narrator — “What are you going to do next?” The answer — “I’m going to Disney World!” — has been a part of the pop culture vernacular of victory ever since. First vocalized by New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms after the Super Bowl 22 years ago, that one sentence has become synonymous with winning. It has been delivered by celebrities ranging from Tom Brady and Michael Jordan to Santa Claus and David Cook, season eight winner of “American Idol.” Color me impatient, because it’s only been a couple of decades, but to date no NASCAR driver has been featured in a “What’s Next?” advertisement. I’m thinking about organizing a grass-roots movement to correct what I’m certain is simply an oversight. It’s almost too easy to find similarities between NASCAR and the Magic Kingdom. For starters, Disney World is located in Florida. The first and final races of the season are in Florida. NASCAR’s corporate offices are based in Florida. Coincidence?

East swoops by Warriors in 26-0 shutout BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson football coach Bryan Lingerfelt refused to take the fledgling Wheatmore program lightly all week, and his players stuck to the plan in a business-like manner. From the opening kickoff, the Eagles never gave an inch, cruising to a 26-0 nonconference victory, improving its record to 3-2. East did all of its scoring in the first half, totaling 412 yards of total offense for the game. “We don’t have those kinds [wins] around here much,” said Lingerfelt. “The guys stayed focused tonight and I am happy for them to have a good game.” Dylan Gallimore rolled over the Wheatmore defenders like they were bowling pins, rushing for 174 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns. He put the Golden Eagles (3-2) on the board first on the opening drive of the game, springing free over the left side for a 58 yard score. Taylor Warren missed the extra point, but it would hardly matter on this night.

Two days after winning its conference opener in straight sets against Lexington, East hosted Thomasville on Thursday and introduced them to Central Carolina Conference play with a sound 25-11, 25-14, 25-20 victory. “It is good for this team to come out here early in conference play and win,” said East coach Kim Warrick. “We are getting better, and I am not going to give up on these girls. I know they can do it.” Outside hitter Candace Fox made a statement early in the first game on behalf of her team, finishing with 16 kills on the evening.

SHOTGUN FIT

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist I’ve seen this a dozen times: A guy is having a bad day on the shotgun range. He’s normally a pretty good shooter but today he couldn’t shoot his own foot. After struggling half way around the sporting clays course, he begins to talk about getting a gun fitting. He feels his gun just doesn’t fit him properly and that his scores would climb considerably with a gun that fit him properly. By the time we’d finished the round, he was ready to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a fitting and several more on getting his gun adjusted to fit him better. Our disgruntled shooter might have a point, and he might not. Since there is no rear sight on a shotgun, the shooters head position is critical for the gun to shoot where the shooter is looking. In principal, the shooters head position on a shotgun is the rear sight. Shotgun fit is big business; there are people who make their living by fitting the

shotgun to the shooter. Cost of a professional fitting can run as high as $500. That’s before you start whittling on your shotgun. It’s our nature to not like taking the blame. It’s our way to try to find a reasonable explanation for our failings that relieves us of responsibility. Some of us are worse than others. Those who excel have the ability to evaluate their problems and work on the ones that have the highest priority. If you evaluate your mistakes in any given task, you find certain, simple issues often have the most negative effect. Those are the issues where you can best make progress. Gun fit might or might not be one of those issues. A few years ago, Ricky Kanoy called me and told me he was shooting in the Southern Side by Side, a vintage shotgun event in Sanford. There are many classes for different gauges of shotguns in both hammer and hammerless guns at this event and Ricky wanted to enter a lot of different classes. He came by the house and picked out several different guns to shoot that weekend and wound up winning eight of the nine classes he entered. The stock configurations of the different guns varied widely with high combs and low combs, pistol grip, and straight stocks. I asked Ricky how he could shoot so many different

stocks and he replied, “I can just look down the barrels and tell if I can shoot a gun.” Ricky adjusted his shooting position mentally and, by doing so, he was able to shoot a gun he’d never shot before and beat guys shooting guns that had been fitted just to their shooting style. What really made the main difference, though, was that Ricky Kanoy can really shoot a shotgun. Some of the best shotgunners I’ve known in my life shot their guns just as they came from the box. Many of those people only shot one gun. I think they adapted themselves to that particular gun and fit themselves to it. In the case of Ricky and other exceptional shooters like him, he can mentally adapt himself to mount the gun in a way that works for him. For a really good shotgunner, a gun fitting might pick up three to five targets out of 100. That may not seem like a lot but in competitions, often the top 5 shooters are within three targets of each other at around 92 out of a hundred. There are hundreds of wives tales about shotgun fit and few very hard and fast rules that apply universally. Simply put, a shotgun that fits you will come to your shoulder in a position that has you looking straight down the barrels without effort. The trick is that you have to mount the gun the same way every time

or all the fitting in the world won’t help. Your body has to have the muscle memory required to mount the gun exactly the same way every time. The way to develop the muscle memory to consistently mount your shotgun is repetition. Making sure your gun is clear, stand and chose a target with the gun in the unmounted position. Focusing on the chosen target, ,mount the gun and strive to end the motion with the gun mounted so you’re looking straight down the barrel with the chosen target just over the bead. This sounds easy, but it requires some practice to get the gun mounted the same way every time with the bead centered on target. Once you’ve spent a few minutes doing this, you’ll understand some of the misses you’ve been experiencing. Most of us simply don’t consistently put our head in the right place for the gun to shoot where we’re looking. In doing this exercise, choose targets that are at all different levels and angles since a flat level perfected gun mount won’t help when you’re shooting a bird straight over your head. In the process of doing this, you may notice that it’s difficult for you to get your head down far enough on the stock to see straight down the rib or that you have to raise your head slightly or push it to one side. This tells you that the

gun you’re shooting doesn’t fit you properly and you’ll benefit from a gun that does fit. Another exercise that helps is to stand in front of a mirror, mount the gun pointed at your shooting eye’s pupil and then look down the barrel to check for alignment. With a proper mount and fit, the front bead should be pointed straight into your eye in the mirror with you looking straight down the rib. Both these exercises will improve your chances of hitting targets since

they’ll improve your consistency and give you more confidence to experiment with lead. Since having a stock fitted costs more than the price of many guns, you may just want to shop around till you find a gun that fits reasonably well. Then, if you start shooting really well, you might consider modifications. Just don’t assume that a fitting will help enough to allow you to out shoot Ricky.

Thomasville’s Careena Mock tried to keep the Lady Bulldogs in the game going hit for hit with Fox, but could not get enough help. EDHS finished off the game with ease for a 1-0 lead. The Lady Eagles latched on to a 5-3 advantage to start game two but Mock would bring THS back. Consecutive kills by Mock and two blocks at the net powered her team to a 10-6 lead that knocked East back. Thomasville added a point to its lead at 12-7, but the points were few the remainder of the set. East scored nine unanswered to swoop in for a 16-12 lead behind three kills from Fox. Two Ea-

DISNEY From page B1 Some of the attractions at Disney World actually bear an eerie resemblance to tracks hosting 10 Chase events. On ‘The Magic Carpets of Aladdin,’ for example, riders rise and fall, pitch forward and back as their conveyances circle the genie’s golden lamp. This attraction also features spitting camels. NASCAR has those. They’re usually found at short tracks like Bristol, or at Martinsville, race number six in the Chase. ‘Big Thunder Mountain Railroad’ is one of the oldest and most well-respected rides in the park. This is no kiddie coaster. Climb aboard, and you’ll be warned to “hang onto your hats and glasses, ‘cause this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness.” In NASCAR, we call this Talladega, the seventh Chase event. By the way, there’s gold in them thar hills. Although in NASCAR’s case, only one of 12 prospectors will ultimately take home the mother lode. On ‘Peter Pan’s Flight,’ a generous sprinkling of pixie dust separates

and 20-0 rout in the second. The wins improve the Panthers to 6-0 on the year. Winning pitchers for the Panthers were Madelyn Walker and Abbey Crews. In the first game the Panthers were led with two hits each from Bayleigh Griffith, Rebecca Louya, and Madelyn Walker. Walker added a double and struck out seven on the mound. In the second game the Panthers were paced by two hits each from Hannah Richey, Mackenzie Cranford, Julie Searcy, and Jade Alford. Searcy and Alford had triples while Cranford also added a home run. Richey belted two home runs in the game.

‘We did not play as well as we are capable of.’ — Amber Gray THS head coach

Thomasville’s best by far, but there was not enough power up front to contend with Fox and the serving of Turner. Fox had five kills in the set and Turner dropped in a pair of aces as the Eagles lead 23-17. Thomasville (3-2, 0-2) inched back into contention scoring on

the elite “lost boys” from the rest of the world. But Sprint Cup Series drivers live out their swashbuckling dreams every week, in a land where having fun while doing what they love never grows old. The sweetest ride of all embraces the unique aspects of different cultures — like Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Toyota, for instance — while simultaneously celebrating their similarities. ‘It’s a Small World,’ after all. I will concede the point that there is at least one major difference between stock car racing and the Magic Kingdom; there’s nothing even remotely Mickey Mouse about NASCAR. David Cook went all the way to number one on the pop music charts with his mega-hit song, “The Time of My Life.” Another American idol will also go all the way to number one, winning the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship while having the time of his life. When you get right down to it, I guess these guys don’t have to go to Disney World to experience the wonders of the Magic Kingdom. They live there. Contact Cathy Elliott at cathyelliott@hotmail.com.

two bad hits by East and an ace from Stacy Wilder, narrowing the gap at 2320. Fox then blasted home her final kill and Nyasha Ray hit long, ending the match. “We did not play as well as we are capable of,” said THS head coach Amber Gray. “We need to work on keeping our focus, but we are much better than we were a year ago.” Turner finished with 32 service points and Taylor Alexander added six kills.

The smaller and slower Warriors fought as hard as they possibly could, but to no avail. A quick set of downs and punt gave the ball back to East with excellent field position at the Wheatmore 49. Warren handed off to his fullback Malcolm Wimmer on the first play, as the bruising back rushed over the right side and romped into the end zone with the Warriors giving chase. This time, Warren banged through the try that pushed the lead to 13-0. The woes continued for WHS, in particular quarterback Van Peedin and tailback Josh Rickert. Their attempts to move the ball failed as the offense lost three yards before punting. “Coach [Eugene] Everhart’s team is well coached and they play hard, but are just a little young right now,” Lingerfelt said. Taking control at its own 24 with 6:11 left in the first quarter, the Golden Eagles needed only five plays to travel the distance. Gallimore galloped for 21 on the first play from scrimmage, then a pass from Warren to Blake Dodd and run by Warren took it down to the Wheatmore 41. A block on the ensuing play from Wimmer opened up the sideline for Gallimore to speed down to the two. Gallimore was rewarded with his second score of the night as he went in untouched with 4:25 to play in the half. After giving his backfield mates a chance to score, Warren decided it was his turn to dance in with the pigskin. He set himself up with a pass connection to Dodd for a 30-yard gain as the ball sat on the Wheatmore 24. Warren kept the ball on the next snap and dashed in for the score for a 26-0 halftime lead for the Eagles. Lingerfelt cleared the sideline second half getting every player some reps that he could, knowing it is a long season and they may be needed down the road. “It is always about building depth,” he said. “We rotated lineman to try and create more depth because we know we are going to need it later on. The scout team guys have to do a lot of ugly work, so it was nice to get those guys in there.” East will travel to Ledford next Friday night.

ing 65 yards in six plays, capped by Jacob Barber’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Darius Wilson. The defense had Barber in the backfield, but the quarterback escaped a sure sack and spotted Wilson all alone down the near sideline. Woody Parrish’s extra point put the War Eagles up 10-9 with 8:45 left on the clock. Alex Montgomery’s 50yard scoring burst up the middle with 1:51 remaining padded the Eagles advantage. “We’ve got try our best to keep our heads up,” senior Demonte Kearse said. “We have to push harder. All this losing isn’t good for the soul.” Brown sent a resounding message to his offense on the Bulldogs first possession of the second half. After a series of ugly looking plays, Brown elected to punt the ball on third and 26 from the THS 35. Davie County drove down to the Bulldogs 14, but sacks by Lawrence Thomas and Tevin Davis forced a long field goal that sailed left. “We weren’t going to make the first down,” said Brown. “We were playing bad enough that I felt we just needed to punt the ball.” Dee Dow made the first

big splash by the defense, intercepting Barber at the War Eagles’ 41-yard line and racing in for the touchdown less than two minutes into the game. Scoring opportunities were few and far between in the first half. Trailing 7-0, Davie County drove down to the THS 9-yard line, but the War Eagles came up empty when a high snap on fourth down resulted in a 20-yard loss. In a battle of field position, Davie County got a break when Dow fumbled a short punt at the Bulldogs 27. The THS defense held, but junior Matt Cusack, in his first career attempt, drilled a 47-yard field goal, bringing the home team within four, 7-3. Special teams continued playing a role as Lawson Hodges dropped in a perfect punt down to the War Eagles’ one-yard line with 8:10 remaining until halftime. Davie County failed to clear the ball out of the end zone on a toss to Alex Montgomery, and Malcolm Ivery and Breyon Watkins were there to score the safety for a 9-3 THS lead. The first half couldn’t have went any worse for the Bulldogs offense. The offensive line had a terrible time containing Chase Sampson and Kenyata Brand, who tallied two sacks apiece in holding THS to just a pair of first downs in the open-

ing half. The Bulldogs matched the effort, allowing a mere 40 yards of total offense to the War Eagles. Thomasville came into Friday night having won 11 straight games versus Davie County, who hadn’t beat the Bulldogs since 1962.

ECU Pirates to visit Kenan Stadium today at noon BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun

CHAPEL HILL — When No. 24 North Carolina takes the field against East Carolina today, emotions will be running high in the in-state rivalry. Yes, many players from each team know each other. Yes, there are bragging rights on the line. Yes, the Tar Heels will be looking for revenge after losing in Greenville two years ago. But for UNC’s offensive line, there is a much bigger purpose for today’s game, which kicks off at noon (ESPN2). “I think we just need to redeem ourselves, because as an offensive line we didn’t play as well as we wanted to last week,” senior left tackle Kyle Jolly said. “We’ve just got to go out the next game and say, ‘All right, we’re going to play a lot better this game and play to how we expect we can play.’ “ The Tar Heels’ line struggled for three quarters in the win over Connecticut a week ago and gave up six sacks while finishing with just 35 rushing yards. Players have pointed to various factors for the poor performance — miscommunications, UConn’s speedy linebackers, missed assignments. But maybe the biggest thing was that UNC was down two starting linemen. The bad news is the Tar Heels (2-0) found out this week that one of those players, center Lowell Dyer, will be out for three to four weeks with a shoulder injury. Sophomore Cam Holland will start in his place for the second straight game. “I think he has great ability,” Jolly said. “I’m not really worried about him. It’s just getting him prepared to play, getting him ready to play, getting his confidence up.” Even though Dyer wasn’t participating in practice this week, he was out there giving advice and instructions to his replacement. Holland said he’s feeling more comfortable and less nervous this week. Starting left guard Jonathan Cooper has been practicing this week after missing the UConn game with an ankle injury, though he is listed as questionable for today’s game. His backup, junior Greg Elleby, said

he’s been preparing as if he’ll be the first one on the field against ECU (1-1). “I’m preparing myself to be the starter,” Elleby said. “Even if I’m not, I’m preparing myself to be the starter because ... it can help the team out.” The Tar Heels’ troubled line will be facing an ECU defense that gave

we need to prove something,” Elleby said. “We need to prove that we can run the ball. We need to make Shaun Draughn the 1,000-yard back that he is, and I just [wanted] the guys to practice hard this week, do the right things and we can go out and get this win over ECU.”

wan Euwell (ankle) and cornerback LeCount Fantroy (thigh) are doubtful for today’s game. … Offensive guard Jonathan Cooper (ankle) and running back Devon Ramsay (thigh) are questionable. … Lowell Dyer (shoulder), Dwight Jones (knee), Zack Pianalto (foot) and Ryan Taylor (knee) won’t play.

Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority, who acts as spokesperson for the event’s sponsoring manufacturers. “The tremendous response we have received from leading retailers this season is a ringing endorsement of the growing importance of

this event,� noted Kevin O’Connor, chief executive of Samson Marketing, parent company of Legacy Classic and Universal Furniture. “Buyers clearly see real value in being among the first to know what each of the factories will present next month at the High Point Market. They also enjoy the distinct competitive advantage afforded by an ability to preview products that have never been seen anywhere previously, and to make early commitments that will protect distribution and ensure exclusives in their marketplaces.�

BUSINESS

The speed of time ASK THE COACH

TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, It seems as if time is moving faster. I have more on my schedule than hours in the day. How can I get a grasp on my time? — Running Out of Time Dear Running Out of Time, It does seem as though time has increased its speed. Our weeks seem like a day, we blink and it is gone. We look at the calendar and wonder where the year went. The encouraging report is there are some specific rules that apply to time. Our awareness of these principles is a key indicator as to how we decide to spend what we have. Time is a valuable asset that is perishable. This means that it cannot be saved. We have all heard someone say, “I will take a vacation, get more organized, clean the garage, visit my family, or read more when I get the time.� All of us have a “Someday I will list� and we say “Oh, I will get to that when I get more time.� The reality is we cannot get more time. This is one area where

everyone in the world is equal. We all have the same amount and we have all the time there is. We cannot make it, nor can we save it to spend later. Time, it just keeps ticking and we must spend all of it everyday. There are tremendous amounts of resources on the subject of time management. But I believe we cannot manage time itself. The only thing we can manage is ourselves within the time. All things require time. No matter what you want to do in life, whether it’s work, a round of golf or sleeping that extra few minutes, it requires time. Time is indispensable. There is a rule in planning called the 10/90 Rule. This rule says that the 10% of time you spend to plan your activities in advance will save you 90% of the effort involved in achieving your desired results. When we take the time to plan it helps us to think through the actions and steps involved in completing the task. We have also heard people say, “I don’t have time for this.� What they are really saying is “this� is not important to me. In order to get control of our time we must know our highest priorities. Only then are we able to say “yes� to our goals and “no� to the things that are not in line with what we are trying to achieve. Time is irreplaceable. Nothing else will do, especially in relationships. Highly successful people understand that time is the only currency that builds relationships

at work and at home. Most people equate the amount of time you spend with them to measure how much you care about them. When I think of time, I think of it as currency in exchange for something else. Our time should be spent in exchange to what really matters to us. We have 168 hours in a week. I suggest evaluating how you are currently spending that time. The average person spends 49 hours per week sleeping, 6.5 hours eating and 40 plus hours working. So that leaves 72.5 hours per week for other activities. When we stop and evaluate we often discover that what we say is important and what we do with our time is different. By planning and making these necessary adjustments, we can gain a greater level of control while living a purposeful and peace life.

Summer Cash Account helps state’s public school employees TIMES STAFF REPORT

State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) realizes there’s nothing cool and comfortable about being out for the summer with no paycheck. Thankfully, for many SECU members this wasn’t a problem. SECU serves public school employees who are paid on 10 or 11-month schedules, and in 2003 created the Summer Cash account, giving these employees a structured way to save for unpaid months. In 2009, over 26,500 members enjoyed the benefit and saved nearly $93 million for the summer. Elementary school teacher Lauren McCall, states, “The Summer Cash account has been a

Plex Wireless

lifesaver for me in years past. Not only did it allow me to save the money I needed to pay bills and make ends meet during the summer, it also gave me the opportunity to earn interest on the funds and accumulate greater savings.� For Summer Cash participants, during the working months a portion of the member’s paycheck is sent to SECU electronically for deposit into their Summer Cash account. The amount is determined by the member based on how much savings is needed for the summer months. The deposits accumulate throughout the year, along with dividends that are paid annually at the end of the summer.
