Lexington company expanding, adding 50 jobs

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Davidson County Economic Development Commission announced Friday that a Lexington company is growing and plans to add dozens of jobs while investing more than $1 million into the area over the next three years.

Valendrawers, Inc., an Italian-based company that has operated in Lexington for 25 years, is ex-

panding its wood drawer and door manufacturing facility at 555 Dixon St. in Sapona Business Park, and will create at least 50 new jobs and invest $1.2 million by 2013.

“We are very happy to have chosen North Carolina for the new door production,” Piero Della Valentina, president of Valendrawers, Inc., said.

“We have been in North Carolina for 25 years and know that we can count on a great community, in

‘We are very happy to have chosen North Carolina for the new door production.’

— Piero Della Valentina Valendrawers President particular on skilled and dedicated workers. I want to thank all the community leaders for assisting us in putting together this project which I hope will bring a positive impact to the area.”

Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County EDC, said the company received a $100,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund awarded by Gov. Bev Perdue and economic devel-

opment grants totaling $101,000 from Davidson County and the City of Lexington.

“We’ve been working with them for about four or five months on this,” said Googe. “The N.C. grant measures jobs over three years, ours is over five years. Fifty jobs will be created over three years and in the last two years, there will be an additional 10 jobs. We’re looking at 60 jobs being created over the next five

years.”

Valendrawers, Inc. is a wood drawer manufacturer that mainly supplies large kitchen and office accounts all the way down to the one-man cabinet shop, said Diane McBride, an administrative assistant at the company. The company recently was awarded a large contract to supply doors to a major kitchen manufacturer that paved

Number of unemployed falls in county

ACH plans foster parent orientation

Davidson County’s unemployment rate dipped slightly in August as the number of unemployed people fell by nearly 400 workers.

According to statistics released by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, Davidson County reported an unemployment rate of 11.4 percent last month, which is down .2 percent from July and is the lowest rate since January, 2009. Davidson was one of 82 counties across the state that experienced a drop in unemployment in August, but 50 still remain in double-digits.

“Unemployment rates continue to drop in most of the state’s 100 counties in August,” ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said.

In a society where the family unit seems to decrease in importance by the day, American Children’s Home (ACH) in Lexington seeks to continue its mission to bring stable home lives to Davidson County’s children through its foster care program.

ACH will hold a foster parent orientation on Oct. 14 at 6 p.m. for individuals or couples interested in helping a child. Established in 1928, ACH is a nonprofit organization committed to providing needy children with temporary care.

“I feel like understanding the family dynamic is an important thing in making sure the cycle doesn’t continue with the next generation,” said Anna Lohr, ACH social worker. “There’s a lot to be said for being raised in a family.”

Though people interested must be over the age of 21, few other personal requirements are necessary for becoming licensed foster parents. ACH does require more logistical things such as a background check, proof of financial stability and an inspection of household conditions such as a fire inspection, and a water and sewer inspection.

Lohr says that whether a foster parent-to-be is single or in a couple, with children or without, doesn’t affect the licensing process.

“It really depends on the child,” she said. “Some

Golf tournament to raise funds for Spanish Immersion Program

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Colin Ulmer sets off to school like any other third grader. He brushes his teeth, packs his backpack and says goodbye to Mom and Dad. Things appear normal when he gets to school, too. He chats with his friends, maybe runs a little as the morning bell rings.

But as soon as Colin steps over the threshold to his third-grade classroom at Hopewell Elementary School in Trinity, his day takes a slight turn towards the abnormal.

His class is entirely in Spanish.

Not a native Spanish-speaker himself, Colin was enrolled in

Hopewell Elementary’s Spanish Immersion program as a kindergartner. The program is designed to teach children from kindergarten through fifth grade the Spanish language in a trial-by-fire format.

“When he’s in that classroom, he’s not allowed to speak English,” said Colin’s mother, Kelli Ulmer. “His homework is in Spanish, his tests are in Spanish, his books are in Spanish.

He’s in the third grade, and he can pretty much speak Spanish fluently.”

To help support the program — which currently holds 80 students — a parent-formed Spanish Immersion Booster Club will hold a fundraiser golf tournament on Saturday, Oct. 9, at

Ulmer says that 12 teams have already signed up, but she hopes to field 32 teams and is still looking for a few more sponsors. Cost is $50 for an individual or $200 for a team, and lunch is included.

Format is captain’s choice with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. The firstplace team will receive a $500 grand prize, and second, third and fourth-place teams also receive a prize.

BUSINESS

Say yes to what matters most ASK THE COACH

TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, I am struggling with setting boundaries and finding balance in my work and personal life. There are not enough hours in the day. What can you suggest to increase energy and reduce panic?

Signed – Out of Balance

Dear In Search of Balance, Finding balance in today’s frantic-paced world is no easy task.

We are addicted to the whirlwind of busyness.

There is an increased pressure to do more with less. Maybe you have experienced this seemingly out of control frustration and anxiety that accompanies endless phone calls, voicemails, emails, deadlines, appointments and the list goes on.

Most often our greatest discomfort comes from over committing. By saying yes to everything, it is nearly impossible to keeping promises and honor commitments.

Work/life balance is a real issue for people.

Boundaries of work and personal lives are often blurred due to our global economy and advanced technology. With Droids, Blackberries, iPhones and wireless connections, people have the ability to work anywhere and we do, even on vacation. Being so connected can have challenges.

These challenges can be overcome by applying timeless principles, creating a clear vision and realistic boundaries.

Balance is serious, intentional and purposeful living. It’s not for the weak. It takes a highly effective, courageous person to live what matters most. Often it is easy to let life control you. In order to make positive, long lasting impact we need to examine our current habits. Habits are patterns of behavior that consist of three compo-

nents: desire, knowledge and skill. Habits are created over time. Samuel Smile said, “Sow a thought, reap an action; Sow an action, reap a habit; Sow a habit, reap a character; Sow a character, reap a destiny.� Consider making a list of your top ten priorities, then evaluate where you send most of your time.

Are your habits and actions in alignment with your highest priorities?

Here are some “Highly Effective Habits� to consider in the search for a balanced life, based on the work of Dr. Steven R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Habit 2 Begin with the End in Mind. This is the Habit of Vision Ineffective: I live by default.

Effective: I live by design.

Mental creation precedes physical creation.

Beginning with the end in mind will result in a clear definition of where you want to be. The vision provides criteria for deciding what is or is not important. As we start to model this way of thinking, we begin to envision outcomes before we take action, which in turn increases our focus and production.

Habit 3 Put First Things First. This is the Habit of Integrity and Execution Ineffective: I put urgent things first.

Effective: I put important things first. “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.� – Johann Goethe This habit means we are walking our talk.

Our actions line up with what we say is important to us. E.M. Gray said it this way, “Successful people have the habit of doing what the unsuccessful don’t like to do.� Then he added, “They don’t like doing them either. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose.�

Keep in mind that changing habits takes personal commitment. When a rocket is launched it expends more fuel and energy in

the first few minutes of lift off than it uses over the next several days to travel a half-million miles. Like gravity, habits have tremendous pull.

Suggestions to Improve Your Overall Effectiveness.

Decide What is Important ‌ Having a clear vision will help in living a balanced life. Balance looks different based on what matters most and the roles you play in your life as well as your objectives. Assess your habits, priorities, objectives and actions.

Plan ‌ Schedule the First things First, but don’t over schedule.

Decide what needs to be done now and what can wait until later.

Set Boundaries ‌ Determine a set time to shut things down in the evening and focus on your family.

If possible eat dinner together or scheduling a family night. If you are single make time for friends. We are social creatures and were made to interact.

Take Care of Yourself ‌ It is important to plan time for self care.

Include your whole self, spirit, mind and body.

Including personal development or learning new skills can expand your thinking to produce desired results. You are your greatest asset, without you what is there?

Laughter is Good Medicine ... Lighten up and laugh Just Say No ‌ Be honest and don’t over commit. You can’t be everywhere all the time. Know when it is OK to say No. What we feed grows and what we starve dies.

If we are addicted to being busy, it can give us a false sense of accomplishment. But it is really about our purpose, we achieve balance when our actions are in alignment with our values. Viktor Frankl said, “When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.�

Pictured, from left are East Davidson Marching Band Color Guard co-captain Audrey McLaughlin and captain Catie Bowers and Drum Majors Mary Edminson and Melanie Aydelette.

Marching Eagles ready to ‘Seize the Day’ TIMES STAFF REPORT

The 2010 East Davidson Marching Eagles showcase performance, “Carpe Diem� — Latin phrase for “Seize the Day,� expresses the important principles of life. The show opens with a selection by Bon Jovi “It’s My Life,� which is meant to focus on the fact that we all have one life to live here on earth and this is it.

Drastically changing styles, the next selection is “The Fire of Eternal Glory� by Shostakovich. This section of the show culminates with great power and is meant to pay tribute to heroes, and especially “everyday� heroes — those being people who make the most of their time, which could be a community volunteer, a single parent raising a child or someone who simply stops to help a stranger in need.

Van Halen’s “Right Now� is the percussion feature of the show and the closing selection is “Now or Never� by The New York Voices.

This is the final encouragement to “Seize the Day� beginning now.

The Marching Eagle Band fields 69 winds, 18 percussion, and 12 color guard for the 2010 season. Band directors, Mr. David Deese and Mr. Wes Allred, are very optimistic about this year’s band. “The kids are working very hard and I think we are going to have another successful season,� said Deese. “I am really excited at the power of our sound this year, as well as the marching quality we have.� Drum majors for the 2010 Marching Eagles are Melanie Aydelette and Mary Edminson.

The color guard, under the direction of instructors/choreographers Tina Hall, Erin Liner, and Ricky Martin, will be a strong contender during upcoming competitions. Guard captain is Catie Bowers and co-captain is Audrey McLaughlin.

Band director, David Deese added “If the kids keep working hard we could be a force to be reckoned with in the 2010 marching compe-

tition season.� The season begins today with performances at Mount Pleasant Showcase of Champions and Providence Grove Battle of the Bands Competition. Additional performances will be: Oct. 2, Ledford Festival of Bands; Oct. 9, South Caldwell Spartan Southern Classic; Oct. 16, Mt. Airy Festival of Bands and The Central NC Band Festival hosted by Western Alamance. The season will conclude on Oct. 23, with performance at the Appalachian Marching Band Festival.

The East Davidson High School band program strives to prepare lifelong learners who succeed through self-discipline, pride, hard work and dedication. Students receive a comprehensive curriculum of music education, including marching band, jazz band, wind ensemble and concert bands. The East Davidson band program is recognized as one of the top few high school instrumental music programs in the state.

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

I was recently in a grocery store and ran into an old friend. He had a funny story to share with me. This particular story made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end.

Hope the story leaves a bright spot in your day.

Whoever said the Creator doesn’t have a sense of humor? A pastor of a local church had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, but nothing worked. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get his kitten.

That’s what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car.

He figured if he went a little bit further, the tree would bend sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke!

The tree went “boing� and the kitten instantly sailed through the air and out of sight. The pastor just felt terrible.

He is an animal lover like Uncle Bill is. He walked all over his neighborhood asking people if they’d seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten.

So he prayed, “Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,� and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?� She replied, “You won’t believe this,� and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, I let you keep it.�

She told the pastor, this: “I watched my child go out in the yard, get down on her knees, and pray for a cat! She looked to the heavens, folded her little hands and said, ‘God I really want a kitty.

I know that you have the power and the glory that with you everything is possible.’ And really, Pastor, this was a miracle from God, and

I saw this with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her!�

Never underestimate the power of God. And do understand that, God has a unique sense of humor like all of us. Amen.

Final thought; Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed. Lord, the world wants to pound us all down. We are controlled by clocks, traffic lights, endless lines, and requested participation in civic events. Our energies are drained and our nerves become frayed. The trails and demands continue without end, and they often seem urgent, even chaotic. Will any of it add one single minute more to my life, Lord?

Help me to replace urgency with submission to Your will, understanding instead of antagonism. Jesus, slow our lives down, give us the gift of patience.

Help me to understand rather than demand.

Relaxation rather than frustration. Our world is often based on greed and ego, and results in pain. Can it all be that important? That rush can result in physical, emotional and spiritual illness. Help all of us to

Hundreds of thousands of military personnel are serving in far-off places defending the liberties Americans hold so dear — away from their families, friends and the comforts of home. To show these troops that they have not been forgotten and to help boost their morale, the High Point Regional Association of Realtors is reaching out to not only their association but to those within the community as well by asking them to help support our nation’s troops overseas by participating in the Operation Ziploc Bag Project.

In the past three years, more than 1,500 Ziploc bags containing items ranging from candy and snacks to socks and underwear have been contributed. The High Point Realtors Association received contributions from members of the Realtors Association, a church

in Caswell County, Randolph County, Guilford County, area merchants, and generous members of the public. This year the goal is to continue the same path of giving.

The request is that people pack as many items as they can into one gallon or larger Ziploc plastic bags. The drop off points for people to take their bags to are: • High Point Regional Association of Realtors Office — 1830 Eastchester Drive, High Point • Russell Realty — 100 Salem Street, Thomasville • Tri County Real Estate — 765 Shady Grove Church Road, WinstonSalem/Wallburg The Association asks that all bags be dropped off by October 29th.

Return of ‘The Contract With America’ VIEWPOINT

JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist The Republicans have announced the forthcoming release of the “Contract From America” — a set of legislative proposals presumably intended to replicate the “Contract With America” used by their leaders in the historic 1994 midterm when they won control of both houses of Congress.

The question immediately raised by this news is why John Boehner and his colleagues would remind voters of their political descent from the likes of Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, and the legacy of misconduct, fakery and error that they represent.

They may well believe that most Americans won’t remember what Republicans actually did when they regained control of Congress for the first time in decades. Certainly amnesia is a perennial pathology in American politics. But anyone who listens closely to what the Republicans are saying this year should be able to detect the clues suggesting that the more they claim to have changed, the more they remain the same.

During the years of the Gingrich speakership, the most significant activity undertaken by Congress was a long series of investigations of the Bill Clinton White House, the Clinton Cabinet, the Democratic Party and anyone remotely associated with the president. Although the Republicans had promised back then to pass the various elements of the Contract With America, the investigative war against the Clintons is what they spent most of their time and effort preparing.

The result was expensive but unedifying, as congressional committees issued thousands of subpoenas seeking to expose such pressing issues as the alleged misuse of the Clinton family’s Christmas card list and rumors of cocaine trafficking at a rural Arkansas airport. These phony probes cost millions of dollars and required hundreds of hours of public hearings, brought to the American people courtesy of Republican leaders who had vowed to curb waste and abuse.

Now the politicians who may take control of important House committees next year are poised to repeat the same cartoon version of government. Once again, public funds and legislative attention will be devoted to the scourging of federal officers and agencies, for the sole purpose of advancing Republican political fortunes.

They have promised to investigate the Troubled Asset Recovery Program, the stimulus program and the implementation of health care reform. No doubt they will find ways to address other obsessions of their base, including the New Black Panther Party and the president’s Kenyan heritage. What they will not do is restore full employment, improve health, education and the environment, or repair the nation’s balance sheet.

What is new this year is the peculiar kookiness of the Republican candidates, especially those associated with the tea party. The party’s new Senate candidate in Delaware, for instance, says that she “dabbled in witchcraft” as a teenager. That is perfectly appropriate for a party that seeks to bring back voodoo economics — promising to achieve a balanced budget at the same time that they insist on permanent tax cuts for the wealthy that will cost at least $2 trillion.

Americans who worry about jobs and deficits should recall the searing congressional debate of 1993, when President Clinton passed his first budget without a single Republican vote. The same figures attacking President Obama now — from Gingrich to Boehner — blasted Clinton for passing “the biggest tax increase in history” and predicted a horrific recession, along with the end of the American way of life.

Instead, the Clinton budget, which raised rates for the wealthiest taxpayers, led to the longest peacetime expansion in history, a series of federal surpluses, and the elevation of working and poor families into the middle class. It was the Bush administration and the Republican Congress that squandered the surplus with lavish tax cuts, pork spending and unnecessary war.

That voters are disappointed by the pace of improvement since the 2008 election is understandable. That they would want to repeat the political experience of the 1990s is mystifying.

Atlantic Weatherman and town meetings THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Don’t forget “Everybody’s Day” in downtown Thomasville today!

I noticed an obituary in the Sept. 16, Greensboro News & Record for David C. Wright Jr. The 76-year-old Wright was known by his friends and colleagues as “Dave” Wright. He was a lifelong resident of Greensboro and a champion debater at Lenoir Rhyne College. He began his career at WFMY in 1957. His career there spanned some 40 years. He hosted the “Circle K Kiddies Club,” a children’s talent show and played Santa on the “Old Rebel Show.” You might remember him best as the “Atlantic Weatherman” on WFMY-TV and his signoff after giving the weather.

He would give a salute and say, “Dave Wright, Good Night.” His funeral was held at Reynolda Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem where Wright’s son Alan serves as senior Ppstor.

••• I checked in this week on Marge Hammond, better known as “Purple Grandma.” I suppose that is because she loves the color purple and wears it often. She even has a purpletinted car. She had surgery at Thomasville Medical Center and is recuperating.

She is a great lady who

always has a smile and a hug. I first met her years ago when I was campaign chairman for the United Way and have loved her since. She has a positive attitude and love for her family and the Lord!

••• Well, another one bites the dust!. Thomasville Ford closed its doors last week.

So now, we have no dealer in town where we can purchase a new car or truck. I try to shop locally. We bought the 10-year-old Buick “new” when Johnny Thomason had opened the new GM Superstore which was closed recently. In 2005, I bought me a retirement gift, a year early.

It was a new 2005 Ford truck from Thomasville Ford. So now if we are in the market for a new automobile, we’ll have to shop in Lexington or High Point. What’s next?

••• In speaking with City Councilman Scott Styers recently, I learned that city council is having a town hall meeting on Thursday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. at Central Recreation Center. The discussion will primarily depend upon questions asked, but one of the topics council will discuss is the factors involved in setting water and sewer rates.

Council members and the mayor will attend, along with each of the city department heads. Councilman Styers and other members of city council extend a welcome to all who would like to attend.

This council, as well as the previous one, has made it a priority to have these meetings quarterly, but attendance is usually poor unless there is a hot button topic.

••• A number of readers have stopped me and ask that I write more about the various neighborhoods in Thomas-

ville. I have mentioned “Hog Eye,” “Slimey Corner,” “ Dog Kennel Hill,” “Newtown and others. I went to the Library Wednesday and checked out Wint Capel’s book In Words & Pictures, Thomasville North Carolina In the Nineteen Twenties. I enjoyed what I read, so I tried to find a copy I might purchase.

I went to the Thomasville Tourism office in hopes that they may still have a copy.

Unfortunately, they had sold their last copy. So, if anyone knows where I might purchase one, let me know.

While in the “Tourism” office someone called asking about “Cucumber Crossing.”

I have heard the intersection of Unity Street and Blair referred to by that name.

Anyone who has definite information on “Cucumber Crossing” or any other neighborhood, please contact me by phone; e-mail or letter. I would love to assemble some information, not a book but maybe a booklet.

Let’s close out this session with a little humor seen on various signs: At a towing company, “We don’t charge an arm and a leg. We want “tows.”

On an electrician’s truck: “Let us remove your shorts.”

On a maternity room door: “Push, Push, Push.”

At an optometrist’s office: “If you don’t see what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place.”

On a fence: “Salesmen welcome! Dog food is expensive!”

At a car dealership: “The best way to get back on your feet ... miss a car payment.”

Outside a muffler shop: “No appointment necessary. We hear you coming.”

FROM PAGE A1 JOBS From page A1 the way to expansion of a door production line.

“Recently, we’re started manufacturing a lot of cabinet doors,” McBride said. “We’re excited and looking forward to good things to come. Everybody here is very dedicated and worked hard to achieve this goal. We’re hoping this brings good things to the area.”

Construction already is underway on a new 40,000-square-foot warehouse addition, and McBride said a third-party investment from a ma-

chine supplier could raise the total investment to $3 million over a threeyear period. Valendrawers currently has 36 employees at its Lexington facility and plans are to add between eight and 16 jobs annually during the next three years. The annual average wage for the new jobs will be $31,580.

The company originally was located on Colonial Drive before moving to Sapona Business Park 20 years ago. McBride said this is the fourth time the company has expanded since it opened in 1985.

Googe said Valendrawers has been a huge asset in helping recruit other Italian companies to the

Proceeds from the tournament will go toward paying a consulting group that helps find and train teachers from Spanish-speaking countries such as Costa Rica and Colombia.

“With the school cutbacks, we created this booster club to be able to help Hopewell Elementary School have this program and pay without having it be a burden on the school,” Ulmer said.

The parents’ dedication speaks to just how beneficial the immersion program is. Hopewell Elementary is one of the few schools in the area to offer such a classroom setting, others being a few schools in Greensboro, Ulmer says.

Beginning in kindergarten, teachers speak entirely in Spanish until second grade, when the curriculum allots so much time for English each day. In Colin’s thirdgrade class, the English allotment is one hour.

Each grade, kindergarten through fifth, has one class that’s dedicated to Spanish, and the students move up together as one homeroom. Since the program is still in its beginning stages — developed in 2007 — it currently only spans to third grade. Despite the difference in language, students follow the same academic curricu-

kids work better with a single parent. If a child has been abused sometimes they relate to one gender better. Sometimes it’s good for a foster child to come in and have someone to talk to that’s not an adult.”

ACH provides Model Approach to Partnership in Parenting (MAPP) training model, a 30-hour pre-service training designed to help individuals make decisions such as whether or not foster parenting is, in fact, for them and what ages they would be best suited for.

“It’s a group selection method,” Lohr said. “It’s designed to help them locate their strengths.

There’s no tests involved – it’s more of a self-discovery.”

While Lohr admits that ACH does not necessarily find itself at a shortage of foster parents, it has encountered difficulty placing older children and teenagers.

“We have plenty of licensed foster homes, but they aren’t really willing to provide care for the kids that need it,” she said. “Those are the kids that end up in group homes because they’re harder to place. Behaviorally, their problems are more pronounced.”

region. The company once was heavily involved in the furniture industry, but as that market moved overseas, Valendrawers focused its attention on the cabinet and door industry.

“They’ve hosted the governor and myself and worked with the Department of Commerce to put us in front of folks over there that are interested in the southeast United States and particularly North Carolina,” said Googe. “They’ve come up with an interesting product. This particular expansion is putting them in the door business for the cabinet industry.”

The One North Caro-

“To walk into the classroom, it still blows me away,” Ulmer said.

“The teacher is going 90 miles-anhour, and the kids are raising their hands, answering questions. It is just amazing.”

Many of the parents chose to enroll their children in the immersion program because of the opportunities speaking two languages fluently can have this day and age.

“Nowadays you need a second language,” Ulmer said. “For my son, it has been a huge confidence builder because he can actually do something that I can’t do.”

And just beginning the language process early on in life has its advantages as well, says Heather O’Brien, whose first-grade son, Sean, and third-grade daughter, Reese, are both enrolled.

“As we’ve noticed over the last couple of years, they are like sponges,” O’Brien said. “They are just absorbing it. As we get older, our brains just don’t learn as well.

Their brains begin developing differently so that it will be easier to add a third language.”

An added bonus — having children in the program has encouraged a few parents to pick up the language as well. O’Brien, whose husband speaks a little Spanish,

care do come with a bit of a stigma, it’s true, but Lohr says that on some level the attitude and rebelliousness comes more from the age than from the situation.

“To a certain degree with teenagers that’s developmentally appropriate for them — testing boundaries,” she said.

“Part of that stigma is normative development.”

That being said, teenagers do come with a different skill set than the younger children do.

Lohr says that the MAPP training program helps future foster parents identify whether or not teenage foster children is a good fit for them.

“There’s a big push right now for independent living, teaching them life skills and giving them more independence in the home,” Lohr said. “It’s a more abstract form of parenting. Unless you’ve parented teens, it can be scary.”

Other issues foster children experience include an increasing involvement of state agencies in their lives, in addition to foster parents and their biological family. Many kids are placed in emergency homes without first having met their new foster family.

“These kids have had to experience at least one abrupt move in their life,” Lohr said. “The most important thing is to understand that, just like every-

says she might hire a tutor and that she has picked up some words from Sean and Reese.

“We are able to help them, and we’re learning as they’re learning,” she said.

O’Brien said the decision to enroll her children in the program seemed a no-brainer. After the fact, she and her husband began wondering if being in an all-Spanish might delay the children’s English learning.

“But they do better,” O’Brien said. “In a lot of ways, they catch onto things even and easier.”

Ulmer says that Colin’s reading level in Spanish rests on almost the exact same level as his English.

“He has not been delayed in anything English at all,” she said.

As the academics advance in third grade — particularly in math — the students have begun encountering a few translation difficulties.

The kids translate back and forth from Spanish to English, and the end-of-year test will be in English.

But O’Brien says the challenge is not only worth it, it has helped her children grow.

“I love the program,” she said. “I love the teachers – the teachers are amazing. I would recommend it if anybody has the opportunity. It is incredible.”

thing else, it takes time to build a relationship. Just give them the opportunity to be sad or be mad about it, and give them a forum to talk about it. It would be a scary experience for anybody.”

But foster parents themselves can encounter some problems, particularly attachment.

Designed primarily as a temporary placement for children, foster care ultimately works to reunite kids with their biological families, whether immediate or extended. In fact, of the 10, 698 foster care children in North Carolina, only 29.5 percent are waiting to be adopted.

Giving children up after years of essentially raising them can be a difficult experience for some parents, Lohr says.

“It’s just not something

I think you can adequately prepare for until it happens,” she said. “I tell them to go into it knowing it’s a temporary placement but that they will permanently be a part of their lives. It’s important to build that lasting relationship.”

Despite all its difficulties, a foster family can be crucial to a child’s development, especially given the traumatic state of life that leads to foster care.

“It gives them the opportunity to have a connection to somebody when they leave,” Lohr said. “I’m a firm believer in it takes a village to raise a child, and that’s what this is.”

OBITUARIES FALLS

From page A1 “However, while the rates have lowered, current economic conditions continue to be a challenge for many communities across North Carolina as the unemployment rate remains at 10 percent or over in half of the state’s counties.”

Overall unemployment decreased by 369 workers across Davidson County but the number of employed people also fell by 66. The county’s labor force also declined by 435 workers to 75,377. A drop in the labor force signals that some people are no longer looking for work and have exhausted their unemployment insurance benefits.

“As the state [unemployment] release demonstrated, the continued number of workers leaving the labor force will continue to put pressure on the unemployment rate,” said Alexandra Forter Sirota, policy analyst with the North Carolina Justice Center’s Budget and Tax Center.

“The persistence of high unemployment rates in certain communities of the state suggest that we need a targeted approach to creating jobs locally in these areas.”

In Thomasville, the unemployment rate fell a little to 11.6 percent in August after peaking at 12.4 percent in March.

The Chair City labor force dropped from 11,912 to 11,879 last month as the number of unemployed and employed workers decreased.

In the past year, Davidson County residents have received more than $115 million in unemployment benefits. Currituck County reported the state’s lowest unemployment rate at 4.1 percent while Scotland County had the highest at 15.7 percent. A total of 133,601 individuals statewide received regular unemployment benefits in August, compared to 145,255 in July.

Other unemployment rates in surrounding counties include Randolph (9.6), Guilford (10.5), Rowan (11.6) and Forsyth (9.4).

RELIGION

A visitor’s perspective of churches KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

I am at a place in my life where I am looking around for a new church to call home. Let me be frank about this, I do not like this process at all. I like being able to say that I am a member of thusand-so church. I realize that God sometimes puts us in places in life where we have to learn or see something from a different perspective. This is just part of my journey.

I have to admit that vis-

iting churches has given me a different perspective on things. I never realized how much of an impact greeters have on making a visitor feel welcome. It’s very important to take a moment and speak to people you don’t know or recognize. Even though I am an outgoing individual, I find it hard to speak to new people in church. In the past, I have introduced myself and asked the person if they have ever come to our church before only to discover they have been coming for quite a while.

I have visited a church and not had a single person speak to me. Once I initiated the conversation, the people were warm and friendly. It’s getting past that first step that can be difficult. I visited another church where it seemed like everyone wanted to greet and welcome me.

I couldn’t believe the

difference I felt when I left that church. This is one area I am going to work on once I get settled in a new church.

Every church I have visited would earn high marks for cleanliness and keeping up the sanctuary. Maintaining a building inside and out is important to attract new people to our churches. A first impression is always a lasting one. Many churches have websites, which is great, but the trouble is someone needs to maintain the information for people who might want to visit. It doesn’t need to be dynamic, just basic and up-to-date.

I know we all like to speak to the pastor on Sunday after the service, but allowances should be made to give him or her the opportunity to meet the visitors. I have been to some churches a couple of times and have

yet to shake the pastor’s hand. Sometimes we need to give the pastor the chance to meet the visitors before we spend some time with him or her. That means putting other’s needs ahead of our own.

I think sometimes we lose perspective on our churches and the impressions we are making on others. First, the church is really the group of people who attend. All the other things I have written about the building itself are basically a reflection on the people inside. If we are warm and friendly, people will want to come and join us.

The church building is designed to be a spiritual hospital. It should be a place where we can go and allow God to touch our lives and bring healing to our inner being. It should be a place where we are honest with God about where we are in

our spiritual walks. It should be a place where we can get instructions on how to live our lives in a way that honors God. Church should be a place where we can go to be touched by God. I also believe that churches are designed to be lighthouses for the lost. We are called to be a light in the darkness. There are so many people who need the love of God in their lives, yet there seems to be no one to tell them the good news. Some people say if they would just come to church they could hear the good news and God would touch their lives in a special way. I agree, however, wouldn’t it be great if we went to them? If God truly lives in us we can take His presence to them.

the church differently.

First, be willing to reach out to visitors and make them feel welcome. Next, pray and see how God can use you to make your church a better place.

Remember that each one of us is a very important part of the church and God wants to use all of us to further His kingdom. God can use you to bless and encourage others. Also remember to take the church outside the building to those who need to hear about God’s love. I believe that if we all do our part we can have an impact in our church and on our community.

CLYDE DUPIN Guest Columnist We live in a period when multicultural is the politically correct way to view even the unchanging facts.

Even in evangelical churches, we see a little bit of universalism slowly creeping in.

In a world where billions seem to live without God and form beliefs different from the Bible, many are confused.

There is a teaching that no one has a corner on truth and all religions lead to the same place or to nowhere. In this pagan atmosphere of confusion, Christians must hold to the inspired Word of God. It is the only religion that fills the human soul with faith, hope and love.

When our young people go away to a secular college they may even face a

postmodern philosopher bashing Christianity in a math class. The intellectual elite feels it is their job to become faith wreckers. The emptiness of their lonely souls feel compelled to draw others down. They are led by the elite media, Hollywood and corrupt politicians. A new era of Socialism is coming, and they see faith in God as the biggest obstacle to change. I have been to Russia many times before and after the Iron Curtain came down. After 70 years of socialism and war on God, it failed. Many Russians would tell me they always thought there might be a God. Our greatest need in America today is a vibrant Christian faith with an emphasis on evangelism and a personal relationship with Christ. I appeal to pastors to declare the truth that Jesus was fully divine and fully human. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

In this time of a pluralistic and religiously diverse culture, we dare not forsake our faith or fail to stand true to the Bible. Jesus is the son of God and only Savior for our messed up world.

Bulldogs pummel Asheboro

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor The start may not have been quite what Thomasville was looking for Friday night at Cushwa Stadium on Homecoming, but the finish was on point.

After failing to produce points on its first four drives, the Bulldogs (6-0) scored seven straight times, translating into a 43-7 pummeling of the Asheboro Blue Comets.

“It took us a while to get into the flow of things, but it all came together,” said THS assistant coach Dickie Cline. “This is a game you have to play with intensity and excitement, and I do not know if it was because it was Homecoming or what, but we did not have the juices flowing until the game got started pretty good.”

It was only a matter of time until the Bulldogs would find points on their side of the scoreboard, but they had to endure what seemed like an eternity to do so. On three of their first four drives, THS missed a field goal, came up inches short on fourth down deep in Asheboro territory, and did not get a call to go their way on pass interference.

On top of everything else, top tailback Quin Riley went down with an arm injury for a couple of series.

On first down from its own 20 yard line early in the second quarter, though, everything started clicking, and the bomb was about to explode on the Blue Comets.

Kesean Green – normally the fullback clearing the way for Riley – took full advantage of his opportunity. He received the handoff from Sam Nelson, hit the hole and

He got some extra help eluding the last defender at midfield, picking up a block from an official. It was nothing but green grass ahead, as he went the distance for a 7-0 THS lead.

“He (Green) is primarily used at fullback, but we have the capability of putting him in at tailback any time,” said Cline. “That play was big for us.”

Asheboro (2-4) was playing well up until

that point, but the wheels really began to fall off soon after.

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer When rivals get together on the football field, a play here or there can make all the difference in the world. In a situation like that, one team leaves happy while the other leaves mad.

On Friday night, the Ledford Panthers were all smiles following a 307 victory over the East Davidson Golden Eagles in a matchup of former Central Carolina Conference rivals. Led by junior tailback De Greene, Ledford wore East down in the second half with a bruising running attack and a key penalty on the Eagles turned the tide in the wrong direction for the home team.

“The offense executed good,” Greene said. “I’ve been hurt a little bit and I’m happy the offense stepped up and helped us win the game. I just followed the offensive line into green grass.”

Ledford struck first with a snappy three-play 74 yard drive on its second possession. Facing third down and five from his own 31, Panther quarterback Duke Boger spotted receiver Jeff Krauch in the flat with no Eagles in sight. The junior did the rest, out-running the

Faced with the difficult task of unseating West Davidson from the mountaintop of the Central Carolina Conference, East Davidson put forth a commendable effort, but was still miles away from victory, falling to the Green Dragons by scores of 25-14, 25-9, 25-23.

East (2-12, 2-2) could have at least walked away with some bragging rights in the third game after being tied with West at 23-all, but failed to score another point in falling two points short.

“I was not disappointed because we played much better than we did on Tuesday,” said EDHS coach Kim Warrick, referring to East’s lackluster 3-1 loss to Central Davidson.

It’s amazing what you find fishing on the web OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist This week, Cherie and I hosted an outdoor bible study class with some new friends from Shady Grove Methodist Church. One of the group members mentioned that he was getting ready to travel down to Cape Hatteras for some surf fishing and I told him I thought he’d picked a good time.

I knew this because this time of year I monitor weather conditions at Hatteras. I knew the fishing had not been good the last few days, that the wind was just turning southwest, and that the winds would be mild to moderate through the weekend, perfect conditions for this time of year at Hatteras.

While my opinion that these are perfect conditions is based on my personal experience, I could have looked at the responses of other fishermen on numerous bulletin boards or simply asked a question about the expected conditions and what I could expect. If I didn’t trust those answers and had some time to kill, I could have looked into weather archives and compared them to sites that have daily catch reports and formed my own opinion with that data.

In addition to the current reports for weather and stream-flow, the bulletin boards for various sites are a great source for information that’s normally inaccessible. In fact, they offer a chance to ask specific questions and get the opinions of multiple experts so you can make a better decision about a hunting or fishing technique or product. The bulletin boards are an online community of folks with similar interests.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed how valuable the internet would turn out to be for those interested in the traditional outdoor sports.

I’m constantly amazed at how much valuable information is on the web.

It’ a remarkable source of all kinds of fishing and hunting information and a source for all kinds of products and services.

You can search for rare outdoor books and find multiple copies in various conditions. Books that you could have searched for years to find can be viewed within seconds on the web. The same is true of guns, fishing tackle, clothing, memorabilia, and

even dogs. I found my lab, Larry, on the web.

Just like any other venue, the web is filled with bad information, hustlers, con games, and schemes, but if you’re careful, there’s a lot of great information. On balance, there’s a lot more good than bad.

Here are some of my favorite sites that I check on almost every day: Coastal weather forecast: weather.noaa. gov/cgi-bin/fmtbltn. pl?file=raw/fz/fzus52. kmhx.cwf.mhx.txt. This is a long address but a good one to save on your favorites. It gives the wind and wave forecasts for the entire North Carolina coast out five days.

Chose the section of coast you’re fishing and get the best weather and wind forecast there is.

These sites only represent a few of the myriad of sites including my website and the WXII site where my stories and videos appear. Many of the sites are very specific, like sites on one particular kind of gun or type of fishing.

I’m also excited about a new website, Outdoor Roadmap, where I’ll have features and videos and hopefully, a regular blog.

The site will feature how-to and location information about hunting and shooting all over the country and will launch soon. Of course, the web may never replace print media, but the forums and boards are a great way to get current information about specific locations or detailed advice from similar minded people. It’s like having a lot of knowledgeable friends just a call away.

He writes about hunting, fishing, dogs, and shooting for several NC newspapers as well as magazines.

RIVAL From page B1 penalty forced Ledford to settle for a 29-yard Zach Gilliam field goal with under a minute to go.

“Defensively, we played outstanding,” said LHS coach Chris Adams. “Offensively, we hammered them and we kept pounding the ball. We needed this one. We’ve been struggling the last couple of weeks and this was just a team effort. We had guys stepping up left and right.”

Whatever chance the Panthers left on the table at the end of the first half, Ledford quickly found to open the second.

A 51-yard run by Greene flipped field position and

two runs by Brock Phillips, the latter coming from two yards out for a touchdown, put the Panthers up 17-7. East seemingly came right back with a touchdown of its own following a 41-yard pass from Warren to Dodd with 6:10 left in the third quarter, but an illegal man downfield penalty nullified the score. The call left East coach Bryan Lingerfelt dumfounded.

“That was the play of the game,” Lingerfelt said. “We have an official in the press box who’s supposed to be looking after the guys on the field.

They made the wrong call but that’s life. It’s just unfortunate and was a poor judgement call. I don’t know, but hats off to Ledford. They played a great game and Greene

BULLDOGS From page B1 and a 14-0 Thomasville lead.

As has been proven all season long, 14 points is more than enough for the stingy THS defense to work with.

In fact, the defense added another six points to the cause 1:30 minutes later.

It was Mason coughing up the ball again in his backfield with heavy pressure coming from the red and black.

James Boyd pounced on Mason just as he was releasing the ball, sending the pigskin backwards at the Asheboro 19.

Lineman Jaleel Rogers scooped it up and did the rest, rumbling the ball into the end zone.

“They had that big play and then I think we hung our heads a little bit,” said AHS head coach Chuck Henderson.

“Then we had the two turnovers, so it went from being really tight to snowballing on us. Turnovers equal points and I have said that for nine years running now. They scored directly off our

carried the ball well.”

Needing a big play from its defense, EDHS got one when Justin Weavil picked off Boger in Eagles territory. The East offense failed to capitalize, however, and Ledford made the Eagles pay dearly. The Panthers orchestrated an over-powering 9 play, 62-yard drive with Greene leading the way. The junior carried the ball seven times for 50 yards, culminated by a one-yard plow across the goal line, extending LHS’ lead to 24-7. Greene, who lead all rushers with 123 yards, tacked on his second score with a 4-yard run late in the contest.

Boger finished with 125 yards passing and Dodd led East with 57 yards receiving.

turnovers and that was definitely the difference in the game.”

The PAT failed by Lawson Hodges, but his 24-yard field goal right before the half made it 23-0.

Riley made his presence known as he returned in the second half, showing the Blue Comet defense why he has nearly rushed for 1,000 yards already this season.

After THS took control at the Asheboro 45 following a punt, he carried the ball six yards, then caught a screen pass

by Nelson that moved the ball down to the 22. Riley’s number was called once more. He hit a hole over the right side got to the next level and shook a defender, then went on in from there for a 30-0 Bulldog lead.

The Thomasville coaching staff started emptying the bench after that, but the trend of scoring did not change.

Backup quarterback Justin Hubbard hit Quindale Williams for a 19-yard strike, and Edwin Allen sliced his way for a 28-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.

Asheboro’s lone score came on a pass play from Mason to Jordan Blackwell.

SPORTS FALL From page B1 elle Cox posed plenty of problems for the Lady Golden Eagles all night long, sending laser kills to the ground and mixing in taps to build a twogame lead.

West (10-6, 4-0) was on cruise control in the third game, leading 23-15 and two points from the sweep. But they became their own worst enemy, producing mistake after mistake to help get the Eagles back in contention. Yarboro committed several herself, perhaps trying too hard to emphatically end the match, hitting potential kills straight into the net or beyond the back line.

East was soon tied for the lead, causing West to burn its second timeout during the stretch.

On the next point, Chloe Newsome put away a kill for the Green Dragons. Warrick called time to set up a plan, but it just did not work out.

After a decent rally, Samantha Rickard sent a kill down off the top of the net, leaving East with nothing to show for.

“We have trouble finishing what we start,” Warrick said. “We get there and we get close, but then we do not go on and get it. “[Winning] that would have given them the belief and feeling that they need for the rest of the year. That would have pumped them up and given them a boost. But we just could

not do it.”

East was playing well in the first game of the night, trailing just 7-6 after a tip from Chelsea Turner. Cox unleashed her fury over the next few points with a couple kills and well-placed dump shots, but the Golden Eagles held their own to get back to within one at 12-11.

It was clear sailing from then on for West, winning the first game 25-14 and rolling in the second game 25-9.

SPORTS Offense keeping Duke in the game

BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald-Sun

DURHAM — The results of Duke’s first three football games this season clearly show the team’s strength is when the Blue Devils have the football.

Duke leads the ACC and is No. 27 nationally among Football Bowl Subdivision teams with an average of 443.7 yards of total offense per game.

In the passing game alone, Duke is No. 2 in the ACC and No. 19 nationally with 288 passing yards per game.

Those are impressive numbers entering today’s 3 p.m. game with Army (2-1). But Duke’s players and coaches say the offense still has room to grow, which has to be scary to their future foes.

The Blue Devils (1-2) scored 89 points in their first two games against Elon and Wake Forest.

They were held to a far more modest number in a 62-13 loss top-ranked Alabama a week ago.

Duke coach David Cutcliffe, though, insists his team should have scored five touchdowns against

the Crimson Tide with simple execution. His players agree.

“I think Alabama was a great team, but I also think we should have turned it up a notch,” Duke junior wide receiver Donovan Varner said.

Duke’s passing game, with redshirt sophomore Sean Renfree at the controls, displayed precision and accuracy against Elon and Wake Forest.

Renfree completed 71.1 percent of his throws in those games.

His 17-of-37 day against the Crimson Tide chopped his season completion rate down to 63.3 percent. That’s still good for second in the ACC behind North Carolina’s T.J. Yates (65.7 percent).

Renfree leads the ACC in passing yards (852) and completions (76).

His hot start to the season has Cutcliffe confident enough in his abilities to use the entire offensive game plan without fear. Cutcliffe said Renfree reminds him of how another one of his quarterbacks, Eli Manning at Mississippi, took to the same offense.

“He’s letting us go full tilt with what we do,

which we hadn’t done probably since Eli, to be full tilt with everything we’re capable of doing in the passing game and continuing to grow,” Cutcliffe said.

It was a year ago this month that Renfree made his collegiate debut at Army, coming off the bench to throw two touchdown passes to rally the Blue Devils to a 3519 win.

Today, Renfree looks to spearhead a bounce-back effort following disappointing results against Alabama.

The offensive line has been a strength, as well.

Duke has surrendered just three sacks while its running game averages 155 yards per game (4.2 yards per carry).

The one area of concern on offense is the receiving corps, which has shown a propensity to drop passes this season.

Twice in the first half at Wake Forest on Sept. 11, Renfree’s passes bounced off a Duke wide receiver and into the hands of the defense for interceptions.

The Blue Devils had a half-dozen or so drops against Alabama, as well.
