TOUR DE THOMASVILLE Cycle North Carolina sets up camp in Chair City BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Baptist Children’s Home Mills Home Campus turned into a tent village Tuesday afternoon with hundreds of cyclists making camp to enjoy an evening on the town as part of Cycle North Carolina’s “Mountains to the Coast” ride. More than 1,000 cyclists came through the Chair City on Tuesday and stopped for the night with many pitching tents in a makeshift campground on the BCH campus. Clothes lines hung from fences and in between trees as tired cyclists settled down after a 75-mile ride that ended in Thomasville. Some people took time to catch up on sleep while others made their way to the mini-food court for a bite to eat. A perfectly sunny day led to high spirits for those visiting Thomasville for the first time. “It’s great,” Reidsville native

Mayor Joe Bennett welcomes a cyclist Tuesday as he rides into town. Danny Love said. “It has been awhile since I’ve been here. You meet a lot of people from everywhere, all 50 states.” Cycle North Carolina picked Thomasville as an overnight stop thanks to the warm reception cyclists got three years ago when the city served as a rest stop for

the ride. It was more of the same Tuesday afternoon. “The first thing I thought was very impressive was the surrounding scenery,” said Bob Carter, who has made the ride every year since 2004. “Then I saw a sign that said ‘Welcome Cycle NC to Thomasville.’ The route coming in was very nice and the camping ground is great. It’s a good start to what we think will be a nice layover here. It looks like a bunch of Indians out here.” “Mountains to the Coast” started in Blowing Rock and will end in Surf City. An estimated 1,100 cyclists came through the city bringing in an estimated $75,000 to the community. In addition to the campground, there also was a downtown block party Tuesday night where visitors could unwind before settling down for the evening.

Two Lexington men were arrested by the Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office on Tuesday for committing sex offenses on a 6-year-old girl. A third man also was taken into custody for threatening the child’s mother if she testified against the suspects. Jerry Len Brown, 40, of 791 Early James Road in Lexington, and Moses Lee Leonard Jr., 30, of the same address, are charged with one count of first degree sex offense with a child for an incident that allegedly happened between Sept. 1 and Sept. 21

at the girl’s home. “They were acquaintances of the mom,” Sheriff David Grice said of the suspects. “It wasn’t just a random act. I don’t know, it seems like there’s more of this stuff than there used to be when I first started. I think they think these kids won’t tell or they’re just easy victims.

Area hospitals put age restrictions on visitors BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer Thomasville Medical Center, along with several other local hospitals, is prohibiting visitors under the age of 18 starting today to prevent the spread of the H1N1 influenza virus. Those who are under 18 won’t be permitted to visit patients — whether friends or family — in hospital lobbies, waiting areas, classrooms and patient rooms. The policy does not apply to children needing medical care at the hospital. “Children that are under age of 18 are very susceptible to catching the

H1N1 flu, and we wanted to try to keep them as healthy as possible,” said Jane Wilder, community relations director at TMC. “We also wanted to avoid anyone bringing it into the hospital, as well.” Unlike seasonal flu, the H1N1 “swine flu” virus has been most prevalent in children and young adults, and those who are infected may be contagious before they show any sign of illness. It generally produces mild flu symptoms, but it can cause dangerous complications like pneumonia in those with underlying health problems.

Local residents looking for help in hard economic times will have a chance to find some at the Tom A. Finch Community YMCA this weekend. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, the Keeping Thomasville Strong event will give local residents a chance to talk to representatives from several community agencies offering a variety of information and resources. Professionals will give advice on family services and activities, child care, managing money, creating a safe home for the family, economical grocery shopping, staying healthy and more.

“Our Mission Development Committee, chaired by Sara Faulkner, has worked extremely hard to plan a great day for the community,” said CEO Tommy Hodges. “We really hope folks will take the opportunity to come see how agencies, and others that will be at the YMCA for this event, can help their families stay strong during this difficult time.” Thomasville Medical Center, co-sponsor of the event, will provide a free lunch beginning at noon for the first 300 people in attendance. Other sponsors, like BB&T and First Bank, are providing items like bottled water and snacks.

BUSINESS

Self-awareness leads to self-management TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist

In recent weeks we identified self-awareness as the first pillar of EQ, and shared some specific strategies for that type of development. Seek feedback. Observe the ripple effect from your emotions. Keep a journal. (Emotional Intelligence 2.0) These tips and others prepare us to manage our emotions, rather than be managed by them. Failing to acknowledge them at all, unfortunately, just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the trick. SelfManagement, EQ Pillar No. 2, demands more. When we refuse to recognize our emotions, we invite them to pop out in surprising and perhaps damaging ways. A person who is NOT self aware may claim that feelings have no place in work life, and therefore refuse to recognize them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or see them as a normal part of life. That self same individual may be become enraged when something at the office goes awry and blow an unsuspecting employee out of the water. This is a prime example of an instance when an individual is not demonstrating good self awareness (i.e. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing what pushes his buttons) and poor self-management follows. There is more to self-management than just learning to control outbursts. It is your ability to use the awareness of your emotions to stay flexible as you identify an appropriate

course of action. An action that will serve your best interests over time, rather than just at that moment. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use an example from the world of parenting. Suppose a parent, becomes aware that certain behaviors from the beloved son or daughter create an overly strong emotional reaction. You might call that particular behavior a â&#x20AC;&#x153;trigger.â&#x20AC;? When the child engages in that behavior, the parent goes overboard, or is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;triggeredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in his or her reaction. OK. Once a parent recognizes his own behavior for what it is, that becomes a good selfawareness on the part of the parent. If the parent then consistently chooses another course of action instead of going overboard, a couple positive things can happen. First off, the child can be responded to appropriately â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and dealt with in a reasonable manner. That might be reward enough in itself. But a second payoff is the parent also develops better self-management skills, which brings additional payoffsâ&#x20AC;Ś Self management just feels good. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like climbing Mt. Everest, but when we take actions that we know to be right, especially when it is hard to do so, we tend to feel good about ourselves. Relationships are less stressed and strained; everybody has enough stress in life anyway. You are role modeling good Emotional Intelligence for your child. This skill is expected to be high on the list of sought after workplace skills in the future. Most people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fired from jobs because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn to do them. More often, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a severe lack in the EQ department. Learning to put your own emotional needs on hold is an important, transferable skill. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplace is a

prime spot to put these skills to work. We can all benefit from more civility and self control NOW. Relating well with others, sometimes called social awareness, begins by relating well with self.

Leave them kids alone VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist

Children can be irritating -especially your children. That is why the notion of a school year extending 12 months is not completely revolting. But alas, the government is not a baby-sitting service. Not yet. Let’s hope not ever. In the midst of grappling with a scattering of thorny issues, President Barack Obama took time to lend a fatherly hand this week. Your little Jake, it seems, doesn’t spend enough time under the gaze of the state. As it turns out, Jake is at a tragic disadvantage when competing against Yuri from Kazakhstan. If you believe this tale, the administration has an answer for you: Kill summer vacation, and add a few hours to the school day. “Young people in other countries are going to school 25, 30 percent longer than our students here,” Secretary of Education Arne Duncan claimed. “I want to just level the playing field.” He, generously, wants to level the playing field for your children. Hey, admittedly, I’m not a product of the dazzling Hungarian school system, yet I can’t help but wonder: With the pitiful performance of so many of our school systems — Duncan left Chicago’s schools with a more than 40 percent dropout rate — doesn’t it seem counterintuitive to extend this interaction? Where, after all, is the evidence that longer days translate into smarter kids? We will hear all about Sweden, Belgium and Denmark’s longer days and high test scores, but as The Associated Press points out, kids in the U.S. spend more “hours in school (1,146 instructional hours per year) than do kids in the Asian countries that persistently outscore the U.S. on math and science tests — Singapore (903), Taiwan (1,050), Japan (1,005) and Hong Kong (1,013).” In the U.S., we also piddle away more funding per student on education than nearly any other nation in the world. Employing Duncan’s decidedly non-Singaporean calculus, this would necessitate a cut in education spend-

ing to achieve higher results and “even the playing field.” According to numerous studies, the most consistent indicator and predictor of a child’s educational achievement is parental involvement. So while more time in the classroom may be beneficial to kids who lack parental participation, why would the administration peddle an across-the-board policy change that separates all kids from their parents? If Duncan’s theory is true, why do many school districts across this nation attain high standards of excellence with the same funding and a full summer vacation? Why do Asian-American students consistently outscore their counterparts in this country, within the same school systems and with the same class times? Moreover, shouldn’t local parents and educators be the ones making decisions about curricula and scheduling rather than having to adhere to the mandated vagaries of the newest “reform” efforts from Washington? (Some charter and public schools already shorten summer vacations.) There is, of course, no denying that many school systems in the nation are failing. Students often are trapped in them. They need help ... to get out. And though it horrifies some among us that Slovenian eighth-graders, on average, are more proficient at algebra than our kids, the Slovenian economy does not reflect this aptitude. Our achievement never has been about math scores. It’s about a system that allows productive citizens to thrive. Unlike in nations chock-full of whiz kids, in this country, adults work. Children play. When we don’t work, we import. Surely my kids — if I can afford to send them to college — will be taught by a product of the Indian educational system. I’m cool with that. But just as certain, the president’s advice would hold more weight if he started sending his own children to public schools before mandating that your child be stuck in one during his or her God-given summer vacation.

Sweet lies about kids and smoking VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist At least since 1994, when seven tobacco executives testified before Congress that they didn’t think cigarettes were addictive, the public has not put great trust in those who sell carcinogens for a living. What Americans may not realize is that they also shouldn’t believe the people who are supposed to protect us from tobacco. When it comes to cigarettes, the federal government can blow smoke with the best of them. That became clear the other day, when the Food and Drug Administration announced it was prohibiting the sale of cigarettes with candy or fruit flavors. “These flavored cigarettes are a gateway for many children and young adults to become regular smokers,” said Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. The ban, said Howard Koh, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, “will break that cycle [of addiction] for the more than 3,600 young people who start smoking daily.” Sure it will. And I’m Megan Fox. When it comes to escorting kids into addiction, such cigarettes are more like the eye of a needle than a gateway. You would never know from the government’s pronouncements that the

nation’s three major tobacco companies — R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris and Lorillard — don’t even make them. Notorious lines like Warm Winter Toffee and Winter Mocha Mint were removed from the market years ago. The only flavor the major producers use anymore is menthol, which happens to be one the FDA chose not to ban. Only a few small companies still offer the sort of flavors targeted by the government. According to one maker, Kretek International, these cigarettes account for less than two-tenths of 1 percent of all U.S. sales. When I asked an FDA spokesperson what portion of the cigarettes smoked by teens are flavored, she told me the agency doesn’t know. So how does it know they serve as “a gateway for many children”? How does it know that banning them will have any effect on the number of new tobacco addicts? Actually, it doesn’t. In any case, the number of kids using these products can’t be very large. Michael Siegel, a physician and public health professor at Boston University, says that 87 percent of all high school smokers choose Marlboro, Camel or Newport, which don’t come in tutti-frutti flavors. No surprise there. Siegel says that teenagers smoke because they want to seem older. But smoking something that tastes like bubble gum sends the opposite signal. Even when flavored cigarettes were more widely available, the great majority of adolescent smokers found them about as appealing as a Raffi concert. The government’s figures on kids who start smoking are equally deceptive. When the assistant HHS secretary says 3,600 youngsters start

smoking daily, he’s not using those terms in the way most people would. I smoked a couple of cigarettes in my youth, but I never “started smoking,” any more than I “started speaking Chinese” the one time I attended a Mandarin class. It’s true that 3,600 kids under the age of 17 try cigarettes for the first time every day, but that doesn’t mean they will all become nicotine junkies. Many if not most of the experimenters soon lose interest. By the government’s own account, only about 1,000 teens each day become daily smokers. For a lot of adolescents who “start smoking,” there is no cycle of addiction to break, because they manage to avoid addiction on their own. Lost in the government’s propaganda is that if the tobacco companies are trying to recruit kids into smoking, they are doing a very poor job at it. Last year, the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future Survey found that smoking among high school seniors is at the lowest level in the 33 years the project has been keeping track. Among 8th graders, tobacco use is down by twothirds since the mid-1990s; among 12th-graders, smoking rates have fallen by nearly half. Only 11 percent of 12thgraders smoke every day. It would be a good thing for adolescent health, of course, if none of them did. Maybe that will happen eventually, but banning sweet cigarettes isn’t likely to speed the day.

Times Correspondent

CALENDAR TODAY VOLLEYBALL Thomasville @ C. Davidson 5 p.m. VOLLEYBALL Lexington @ E. Davidson 5:30 p.m. VOLLEYBALL Ledford @ So. Guilford 6 p.m.

The Ledford Panthers hope to continue to roll, as they play the final game of their non-conference schedule by hosting the Spartans of Central Davidson. Ledford will be in search of their third win in a row this Friday night. “We have got to be fundamentally sound because we are playing a Wing-T team,” said Panthers head coach Chuck Henderson. “If we keep in the backfield we are going to get beat because there is so much cross-flow and counter-flow, so we have got to read our keys and be Henderson fundamentally sound or defensively we could look pretty bad.” Ledford (2-3) is showing all the signs of a team that is coming into their own and developing chemistry along the way. With the exception of junior running back/defensive back Justin Wilder, the Panthers are back to full strength after sustaining a couple of key injuries earlier in the season. Wilder, who

C. Davidson Spartans @ Ledford Panthers Panther Stadium 7:30 p.m. was out with a broken fibula, was released last week and is training to get back into game shape. “The kids have responded well, and I think we picked it up since the second half against Southwest Guilford. “We really challenged them against West and East Davidson and they responded,” said Henderson. Central Davidson (3-2) started off their season with a three-game winning streak, but since has fallen to McMichael then lost to North Davidson. The Spartans will certainly look to right their course and should be hungry to break their losing skid. Coach Henderson feels confident in how his team is performing and would like to build the momentum as they prepare for Conference play the following week. “We just got to keep playing hard and fly around and get 11 halves of the football, and you can use any football cliché, but that is

WALLBURG — When West Davidson and Ledford get together on the volleyball court, there is never a dull moment and plenty of hard hits. Even though the two are now separated by classifications, the two came at each other with every ounce of energy as the Green Dragons outlasted the Lady Panthers in a five-set thriller. West started the night on a sour note but held on in the end to win 15-25, 25-20, 25-20, 21-25, 15-8. As poorly as West competed in the first set, Ledford was just as bad in the final set. West raced out to a 6-0 lead, pinning Ledford in a deep hole to climb out of. The Green Dragons would eventually lead by as many as six, and a carry on the final point delivered the win. “They got in our heads and we just buckled in the last game,” said Ledford coach Kara Berrier. “Mentally, we get shaken up sometimes and we are not doing well with pressure right now.” Ledford was the one administering pressure the first game, and it was West that was cracking and making mistakes. Cady Ray was fierce down the stretch getting two kills as the Panthers won easily. West coach Gretchen Sheffield gave her squad a stern squad before the second set began and that seemed to light a fire under them, especially setter Mo Yarboro and out-

Gordon still eyeing ﬁfth championship NASCARMEDIA.COM DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The third week of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup could present Jeff Gordon with his first solid opportunity to start a championship charge. Sunday’s Price Chopper 400 presented by Kraft Foods will be held at Kansas Speedway, where Gordon has won twice in his storied career. After Dover, six of the top 12 Chase contenders changed position in the

points standings with Gordon (No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet) moving up the most spots (two) from 10th to eighth. Only 189 points separate first from 12th this week. Unlike his two Hendrick Motorsports teammates, Mark Martin (No. 5 Kellogg’s/CARQUEST Chevrolet) and Jimmie Johnson (No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet) who sit onetwo in the standings, Gordon is looking to rebound from a slow start in the Chase. Martin is

122 points ahead of Gordon, but this weekend could prove to be a spring board for Gordon’s drive for a fifth championship. Gordon won the first two NASCAR Gordon Sprint Cup Series races at Kansas (2001-02). That 2001 victory more-or-less ensured

he would win his fourth title. Gordon leads the series in top fives (five) and top 10s (six) at the 1.5mile track. This season Gordon has posted one win, 12 top fives and 19 top 10s in the first 28 races. NASCAR Pre-Race Loop Data supports the notion Gordon could turn it around at Kansas. He is ranked third in three important Pre-Race Loop Data categories: Driver Rating (103.0); Average Running Position

(10.093); and Laps In The Top 15 (85.2 percent).

Martin-Johnson Duel Has Developed At Top Of Standings It’s a classic slugfest ongoing at the top of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Two weeks into the 2009 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Mark Martin vs. Jimmie Johnson is a battle for the ages — literally.

EYEING From page 7 On one side you have a 50-year-old, old-school veteran from the Southeast who is a four-time series championship runner-up. On the other side you have a 34-yearold new-era driver from California who is trying to win the championship for the fourth time in a row. Johnson won this past weekend at Dover and for his rivals, starting with Martin, it was ominous. Johnson’s performance looked remarkably like the late-season form he has displayed in his three previous championship seasons. Martin, meanwhile, applied the brakes to those seeking to go ahead and concede Johnson a fourth-straight title. After winning the first Chase race at New Hampshire, Martin ran a strong second to Johnson at Dover. By doing so, he retained the lead in the series standings by 10 points. Johnson’s success is directly related to how well he has performed during the Chase over the last three years. Since the first Chase in 2004, Johnson has posted a series-leading 15 Chase race wins. Eight of those came during his championship seasons of 2005-07. And one of those eight came last year at Kansas when Johnson started on the pole and led 124 laps before capturing the checkered flag. He has made seven starts at Kansas, posting one win, two top fives, five top 10s and three poles.

UNC reﬂects on Tech loss BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — After a disappointing loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, North Carolina began turning its focus to its next opponent, Virginia, on Monday. But even as the Tar Heels answered questions about the Cavaliers, the 24-7 loss to Georgia Tech still was in the back of their minds. UNC might be playing Virginia this week, but the Tar Heels will be using their first defeat of the season as motivation against the Cavaliers. “A lot of the guys on the team kind of have a bad taste in their mouths,” UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. “The expectations for ourselves as a team going into this season, we didn’t see ourselves losing so early, so a lot of guys are pretty angry, pretty [ticked] off, and I think that’s going to help us.” UNC’s offense had its worst performance of the season against the Yellow Jackets, and it was the fewest points scored by the Tar Heels under Coach Butch Davis. In Monday’s interviews, Yates and running back Shaun Draughn each

took part of the blame for the anemic output. Yates missed easy passes and never got in a rhythm, and Draughn said he missed some reads in the back field. “I performed bad,” said Draughn, who finished with 26 rushing yards on six carries. “I take the blame for myself. I can’t speak for everybody else, but I know I can play better than what I did.” The Tar Heels’ challenge this week will be to correct their offensive mistakes in time to face the Cavs, a team that has won nine of the past 11 meetings, at Kenan Stadium. “Any time that you lose, leaders, coaches, everybody, you’ve got to bounce back. You’ve got to keep things in perspective,” Davis said. “I think our players have been here long enough now that they’ve seen us after huge great wins and they’ve seen us when we’ve lost games that we wish we would’ve won, and we’re pretty much the same coaching staff.” Davis said there won’t be any major personnel shifts, but the Tar Heels need to become more efficient on third down conversions after going 1-of11 against Georgia Tech.

He said the ball needs to get to UNC’s playmakers more, but he also has no regrets about the play calling against the Yellow Jackets — just the execution. “We’ve all lost a lot of ballgames here, and we know how to regroup and come back from it,” Yates said. “The leaders on the team are definitely going to have to step up this week and lead everybody to get it out of the back of their minds and move on.” Davis said the players and coaches dissected the Georgia Tech game during a film session Sunday and talked about what went wrong. He said that by looking at the film, it helps the Tar Heels put the loss behind them and get prepared for the next game. “This is a young football team that is very, very inexperienced on offense, and no matter what happened on that Saturday, we’re going to have to play better because the challenges are going to get more significant,” Davis said. “And they certainly were last week and this week.”

Petty crowned Homecoming King for Exercise caution on ﬁtness NASCAR Banking 500 machine claims

NASCARMEDIA.COM

CONCORD — When NASCAR teams and drivers come home to race in Charlotte after five months on the road, Lowe’s Motor Speedway will celebrate homecoming — NASCAR style — at the NASCAR Banking 500 only from Bank of America on Oct. 17. As part of the celebration, speedway officials named seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Richard Petty the Homecoming King for the fifth race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. A five-time winner at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Petty was crowned today by Speedway Motorsports Chairman O. Bruton Smith with his own signature crown — a one-of-a-kind cowboy hat custom made by Charlie

PAST From page 7 side hitter Kortnie Curry. The two hooked up on several occasions, as Curry’s kill gave the Green Dragons a 12-10 lead midway through the game. Yarboro kept the Ledford defense off-balance hitting on two with a powerful overhand and nifty drop shot. Ledford traded points and the lead shifted hands over the next few points until West started opening it up. Yarboro placed two perfect tips that gave the Dragons a 23-19 lead that they would not give up. West took a 2-1 lead in the contest in an exciting third set that WDHS appeared to let slip away early. Cady Ray served up seven of her gamehigh 10 aces that helped give Ledford an 8-0 lead. That is when Curry came to life with a flurry of big plays. Ledford held

Threetime NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and fans from the Lowe’s Motor Speedway Victory Lane Club were on hand for the ceremonial press conference. The black cowboy hat was especially designed for Petty with colors from the NASCAR Banking 500 logo detailed in blue and white suede and red snakeskin. The hat also features black and white feathers, raccoon tail and bones, feather quills and beads. All of the pieces were hand cut from raw materials. “As we continue to celebrate our 50 years of history at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, it’s a natural fit that we’ve selected a member of racing royalty, Richard Petty, to be our Homecoming King

at the NASCAR Banking 500,” said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway. “A traditional crown just wouldn’t work for this ‘King,’ so we gave him something more his style.” A homecoming celebration isn’t complete without a Homecoming Queen, and Lowe’s Motor Speedway has partnered with WKKT FM, 96.9 The Kat, to choose one lucky fan to hold the title for the NASCAR Banking 500. Five finalists will receive a pair of tickets to the race, and the grand prize winner will receive a VIP package and participate in pre-race ceremonies. Women are invited to log onto Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s Web site for information on how to register for the contest.

“Richard has been a fan favorite as a driver and owner at Lowe’s Motor Speedway since the very first World 600 in 1960, and through our Fans First program, we’re going to give one lucky lady the thrill of a lifetime to be introduced as our Homecoming Queen at the race along with the ‘King,’” said Marcus. Tickets to the Oct. 17 NASCAR Banking 500 only from Bank of America start at just $39.75 per person with the CVS Friends and Family Four Pack, which includes four tickets, four hot dogs, four Coca-Cola soft drinks and a coupon for a free two-liter Coke Zero. Four-packs or individual tickets can be obtained by calling 1-800455-FANS or online at www.lowesmotorspeedway.com.

“That third game was fun to watch,” Berrier said. “There are some good hitters and good blockers on each team.” Again in the fourth game, it was Ledford

as the visitors reeled off four straight points. West could never get even or past the Panthers, though, as Ledford held strong to force the fifth and decisive set. “It is fun competition playing them,” Berrier said. “It is a rivalry and it is the one game you are going to be emotionally invested in. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.” Williams had 11 kills for the Panthers and Pericozzi 10 with nine blocks. Ray added 14 assists.

‘Mentally, we get shaken up sometimes and we are not doing well with pressure right now.’ — Kara Berrier LHS volleyball coach it 14-11, but Curry answered back with another kill. Carman Pericozzi reminded West that she could hit hard as well, sending a screamer to the floor, then Danielle Cox chimed in for her teammate Curry delivering a big slam to the hardwood. The game became tied at 16-all, but Cox gave West the lead on the next point with a kill, as the Green Dragons surged to the set win.

STATEPOINTMEDIA.COM Many exercise equipment advertisers make bold claims that should be taken with a grain of salt. “There is still no ‘miracle machine’ that will give you the body of a fitness model in just a few minutes per day,” says David Swain, Ph.D., FACSM, whose assertions appear in a recent issue of a journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Consumers should be wary of these claims: Excessive calorie burn: It’s impossible to burn, say, twice the number of calories on a specialty machine as on a treadmill. The body has a limit on how many calories can be burned in an exercise session. Fitness fast: Brief high-intensity exercise can improve maximum power more than low-intensity exercise,

but cannot improve all areas of fitness in just a few minutes. “Fat-burning” zones: According to intensity zones on some machines, you don’t have to work as hard to burn fat. But weight loss, or what some interpret as “fat burning,” comes from total calorie expenditure. It’s the combination of intensity and duration that counts. Waist reduction: Spot-reduction is a fantasy. Machines that only train abdominal muscles won’t remove fat from the stomach; only total-body exercise and weight loss will yield those results. “Exercisers should focus on overall health and accumulating at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity, or at least 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity activity,” he says. More is needed for weight loss.

The length of the new policy’s effectiveness depends on the continued prevalence of H1N1. “We hope that it won’t be too long, because we know it’s an inconvenience to some people, but we hope that they’ll understand that we’re doing this for the good of their health,” she said.

We’re trying to take a reasonable approach to this.” Officials at the organization are keeping a close eye on the spread of H1N1, she said, to see when it could bring the new policy to an end. This is the first time Novant Health has implemented a collective restriction on visitation. Everett said that some families have complained and shared valid frustrations, but most understand the reasoning behind the decision. “We certainly believe in and recognize the value of visitors in the healing process, especially visitors that are children,” she said. “We wish we didn’t need to implement this.

Upsetting the balance

Natural burning

Firefighters try to get ahead of the fire by wetting it down and clearing out any possible fuel. By removing brush and leaves from an area, firefighters create a firebreak, or a place where they hope the fire will stop.

Supersport: Y. E. Yang Height: 5-9 Birthdate: 1-15-72 Weight: 195 Birthplace: Jeju-do, South Korea If Y.E. Yang had folded in the final round of the PGA golf tournament, nobody would have been surprised. He was playing with Tiger Woods, who had a two-stroke lead and is known as golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest closer. The gallery was huge, the roars loud and the pressure was on. But this time it was Yang who finished with a bang. Y.E. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also known as Yang Yong-eun â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kept his aim and his game together to beat the Tiger by three shots. It marked the first time an Asian-born male player had ever won a major PGA tournament. Growing up as the son of a vegetable farmer and with seven siblings, Yang didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start playing golf until age 19. Then at 21 he served a mandatory two years in the South Korean military. Yang joined the professional golf tour in 2004. Overall he has won 10 tournaments this year, including the PGA event in dramatic fashion.

Fighting Wildfires Dangers of fighting wildfires In the wild, firefighters must be aware of constantly changing conditions that could increase or decrease the dangers. These include: s CHANGES IN WIND DIRECTION s CHANGES IN TYPES OF FUEL &OR example, changing from brush to TREES OR TO HOMES OR GRASSLANDS s THE slope, or slant, of the land. When firefighters fight a structure fire, they can usually move about 100 feet away and be out of danger. This is not usually an option when fighting wildfires. Wildfires can jump firebreaks. Winds can blow flames into new areas. New fuel can feed the flames.

One firefighter drives a fire engine while others walk alongside, carrying the hose. Firefighters carry about 200 feet of hose on their backs. Firefighters may connect about 2,000 feet of hose altogether. One firefighter walks in front, spraying water with the nozzle.

Fighting fire directly

Fighting fire indirectly

To fight fires, firefighters take away heat, fuel or oxygen. Fires need these three things to burn. When firefighters go to a small wildfire, they attack it directly by pouring water right on the flames. Firefighters are aided by airplanes dropping flame retardant and by helicopters dropping water. Helicopters may land ahead of the fire to let out firefighters in hardto-reach areas. If a helicopter canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safely land, firefighters may rappel (ruh-PEHL), or slide down, from the helicopter on ropes swaying in the air.

In bigger fires, firefighters might attack the fire indirectly. They use bulldozers, shovels, rakes or chainsaws to clear brush from the area in front of the fire, creating a firebreak. Sometimes, firefighters actually light a second fire between the wildfire and themselves. This gets rid of fuel before the wildfire can reach the area. The expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting fire with fireâ&#x20AC;? comes from this practice.

from The Mini Page ÂŠ 2009 Universal Press Syndicate

A Dangerous Duty

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

Life-saving shelter

Direct attacks on smaller fires are the safest for firefighters. They can usually jump away when fires leap toward them. Firefighters are taught to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep one foot in the black and one in the green.â&#x20AC;? The black area is the safest because it has already burned. If things go wrong, firefighters can jump into the black area where there is no fuel left. Fighting fires indirectly is the most dangerous method. If firefighters have lighted a second fire to remove the fuel source, they could be caught between the two fires. Even if the flames donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the firefighters, the smoke can. The smoke is full of a deadly gas, carbon monoxide. When people inhale this gas, it can cloud their thinking, so they might not even know they are in danger. Wildland firefighters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear filters or respirators. Experts say these can filter out smoke and dust, but not carbon monoxide. Firefighters who wear filters might think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re OK, and overdo it.

Firefighters each carry small fire shelters on their hips. They can get these shelters out within 30 seconds. If firefighters canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape a fire, they throw these aluminum and fiberglass shelters out and crawl inside. They lie low to the ground with the shelter around them, waiting for the fire to pass over. Firefighters call one of these shelters a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shake â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bake.â&#x20AC;? These are tools of last resort. No one wants to have only a thin piece of material protecting him or her as the fire passes over. Winds from the fire shake the shelters and firefighters as fire rushes across them. Firefighters know this is their last hope. If the fire is this close, there is no escape route. Firefighters say using one of these shelters is terrifying. Shelters today can protect the firefighter for three minutes in direct flames. These shelters are credited with saving hundreds of lives.

Firefighters wear only bandanas to protect themselves against smoke and dust.

Dangers

Every wildland firefighter must carry a fire protection shelter within easy reach (at bottom right of equipment here). At the top of the equipment is a tank with drinking water.

Watching the weather

Every year in California, hot, dry winds called the Santa Ana winds blow from the desert. They can blow at more than 100 miles per hour. They create a danger with fires, since they can blow the flames in all directions. These winds are particularly dangerous when they come in October. At this time, wildlands are especially dry, since California gets little moisture in the summer.

Too great a risk There are also times when weather conditions are so dry or windy that fires would be dangerous anywhere. In these times, firefighters put out wildfires no matter where they begin.

Fire is a part of the natural balance in many ecosystems. For example, in California, every part of the state used to burn an average of every 25 years. Fires help keep forests clean. They clear out the underbrush. That way, when the next fire comes, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread as quickly or as far. Fires are necessary to make certain seeds sprout. Without fires, many native plants wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow in forests and grasslands. In some areas of the wilderness, firefighters let wildfires burn. They keep a close watch to be sure the fire wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become dangerous to people or their homes.

About 120 years ago, people started putting out forest fires. As a result, underbrush grew between the trees, creating more fuel for future fires. People began building homes and other structures closer and closer to forested areas. They planted crops in areas that might normally have acted as natural firebreaks, or places where the fire runs out of fuel. Drought, or dry, conditions, higher temperatures and high winds have also increased the risk of wildfires. Experts say the fire season is getting longer each year in California. About 25 years ago, the fire season began in mid-May. Now it begins in early April. The season is continuing longer into the fall as well.

“It’s a wonderful day in Thomasville to have the bikers wanting to come back, and not only just stop but spend the night,” Mayor Joe Bennett said. “There’s so many folks who have been preparing for this day. Three years ago they came and stopped for a rest. When they left, they were overwhelmed with how they were welcomed and how we had our arms open to our city. For that reason they’re here again and it’s wonderful.” Organizing the tent village was no easy task and took months to plan. Sam Barefoot, BCH’s chief financial officer, said credit for the event is shared by everyone who volunteered their time to make the day run smoothly. “We’re certainly glad they’re here and safe,” Sam Barefoot, BCH’s Chief Financial Officer, said. “We’ve ordered up some perfect weather for them, so we’ve got that covered. It’s a community effort. We’re glad to be hosting them on our campus. It’s a challenge but it’s all in the details and everybody coming together. We’re all about children and family and serving them, and this is an extension of what we do.” Proceeds from the ride will go towards helping the American Children’s Home (ACH) in Lexington

raise funds for a building campaign. The Home is planning to build two new cottages on their campus and renovate existing cottages. ACH opened its doors more than 80 years ago as an orphanage for the children of the Junior

Order United American Mechanics. ACH serves as a sanctuary for children from all over North Carolina who are victims of neglect, abuse or have otherwise been removed from unsafe situations.

YMCA Face painting and temporary tattoos for children will be available as well. “This idea came about because of the YMCA and its mission to build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all,” Faulkner said. “We thought about how we could help our community.” Planning for the event plan in February, she said, when YMCA staff members began contacting United Way agencies about their idea. During the summer, they reached out to other organizations and businesses to ask for help with the event. Now, representatives from nine United Way agencies and 19 other groups will be available to talk to community members at Keeping Thomasville Strong. “I think that people who are looking for ways to survive, better themselves and learn more about what services are offered to them and their families would want to be a part of this,” Faulkner said. “There are a multitude of resources that are available right here in our community and for our community.” United Way agencies that will be present include Davidson County Cancer Services, Boys and Girls Club, Hospice of Davidson County Path of Hope, Family Services, Pastor’s Pantry, Davidson Medical Ministries, Thomasville Coalition on Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Communities in Schools and The Life Center. Other city and county agencies, organizations and businesses that will be present include Davidson County Library, Davidson County Cooperative Extension, Angel Food Ministries, Cooperative Community Ministry and Consumer Credit Counseling, along with many others.

The free trees are part of the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation’s Trees for America campaign, a program dedicated to environmental stewardship through the planting of trees. Those who join the Arbor Day Foundation in October will receive two sugar maples, two red maples, a scarlet oak, sweetgum, northern red oak, silver maple, white flowering dogwood, and Washington hawthorn. “These autumn classics will add amazing, vibrant color to any yard or landscape that will be enjoyed throughout the fall for years to come,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting, between Nov. 1 and Dec. 10. The 6-to-12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Planting instructions will be enclosed with each shipment of trees. To receive 10 free autumn classics, send a $10 membership contribution to Autumn Classic Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, by Oct. 30 or join online at www.arborday.org.

pumpkin entries remain on display until noon. Bring a carved Jack O Lantern pumpkin for the “Jack O Lantern” contest. Entries must be in by 10:30 a.m. for judging. They will be judged on creativity and originality. Cash prizes for both contests.
