Water, sewer rates top Town Hall discussion

Survey seeks residents’ vision for Thomasville

BY LISA WALL Editor

BY ERIN WILTGEN

Thursday’s town hall meeting may not have revolved around politics, but the temperament of Thomasville citizens resonated a similar air to those recently set on the national stage.

The increase in water and sewer rates highlighted the discussion at the meeting at Central Recreation Center, as the nearly 100 citizens in attendance addressed city council and officials stating their displeasure with the recent rate increases and the impact it has had on residents struggling in a difficult economy.

Resident Lorraine Miller set the stage at the public forum by saying

she felt the reason for the water increase was to pay for the nearly 16-million gallon sewage spill that occurred in the summer of 2009. “I feel that the increase is due to the spill. We didn’t cause the spill, so why are we having to pay for it?�

City Manager Kelly Craver responded to the first question of the evening by giving an overview of how those rates are established. “Water and sewer rates were determined by a rate study that was done

No longer are the Thorntons a fragmented family, split apart by a deadly disease. They are finally under one roof in a beautiful new home where pictures of Kate sprinkle virtually every wall. Kate’s room hasn’t changed.

Stuffed animals remain on her bed under a pink and purple canopy, surrounded by walls filled with hand-painted pictures of mermaids, castles and unicorns — images of a fairy tale world for a young princess taken too soon.

Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce has begun the active phase of its Community Vision and Strategic Plan, opening a Chair City survey to start the stream of citizen input.

Though the Chamber has worked for months on the plan, forming a steering community and laying the groundwork, the Thomasville Community Survey — which can be accessed on the Chamber Web site — is the first step in the Community Vision and Strategic Plan, a component of last year’s capital campaign. “We are leading a community-wide visioning and community planning process,� said Chamber President Doug Croft. “This process will help us create a community vision for the future and some strategic plans, some specific steps directed toward that community vision.�

The online survey takes only a few minutes and is composed of about ten questions, some being basic demographic information such as age, gender and place of residence.

Croft says the survey is open to anyone, whether they live in Thomasville or not. “We are inviting anybody and everybody to participate,� he said. “If you live in this area, you work in this area, we invite your input. That’s our effort to make sure

Barbecue Festival to celebrate local avor

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer WELCOME — For the past quarter century, October’s arrival has meant one thing in Davidson County — the Barbecue Festival is near.

Richard Childress Racing welcomed organizers and promoters of the 27th annual Barbecue Festival in Lexington on Thursday with a luncheon to kick-off this year’s event that will take place on Oct. 23. There was plenty of barbecue for everyone as those in attendance got a sneak peak of what attractions will be available for the estimated crowd of more than 100,000 people. “We’re all a part of making this festival successful,� Stephanie K. Saintsing, executive director of the festival, said. “Together

we make one awesome team. The festival showcases our barbecue heritage and spotlights our city.

I’m honored to be a part of the effort.�

The annual barbecue festival has grown into one of the largest outdoor events in the southeast, and this year is shaping up to be no different. Historic Uptown Lexington will play host to an afternoon extravaganza, filled with live music, sidewalk vendors and activities for all ages. But most of all, there will barbecue and plenty of it. During an average festival, visitors go through 15,000 pounds of chopped barbecue, 3,000 dozen sandwich rolls, 5,000 hot dogs, 560 gallons of barbecue slaw, 50 gallons of chili and 6,000 pounds of french fries. Admission to the

FROM PAGE A1 FLAVOR From page A1 festival is free. “This really is a special event for this community,� said Richard Childress. “It grows every year. We are happy to be a part of it and we look forward to this festival every year. We hope it continues for many years to come.�

Part of Thursday’s luncheon included the unveiling of this year’s Fine Swine Wine, made exclusively by Childress Vineyards to complement pork barbecue. This is the sixth year the wine has been available and the label is designed from a Bob Timberlake painting featuring a pig wearing sporting goggles with a checkered flag scarf.

A limited supply of the wine will be available at the festival for $15 a bottle with one dollar from every bottle going to the Mental Health Society of Davidson County. Childress Vineyards Winemaker Mark Friszolowski produced 400 cases of Fine Swine Wine this year. “This year’s label speaks to some of the traditions that Lexington is known for, such

as barbecue, art, wine and racing,� Childress said. “I think Bob did an outstanding job bringing them all together.�

Throughout its 27-year history, the festival has featured up and coming country stars like Taylor Swift, and 2010 will be highlighted by names such as Sara Evans, Laura Bell Bundy, Matt Walsh and James Otto. There will be six separate stages with shows running virtually all day long.

Some of the special attractions include bicycle stunt shows, a car show, a lumberjack sports show, the hogway speedway, a rock climbing wall, a trampoline quad power jump, a kid casting competition and the Red Cross’ largest blood drive of the year.

Providing this year’s pork will be Speedy’s Barbecue, Stamey’s Barbecue, Smokey Joe’s BBQ, Barbecue Center and Jimmy’s Barbecue.

Plenty of parking is available and there also will be a shuttle and trolley service.

For more information, visit www.barbecuefestival.com.

Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

• Bryan James Canty (BM, 22) arrested on charge of possessing a controlled substance at 106 Pineywood Road. • James Edward Rogers (WM, 39) arrested on charge of larceny at 700 E.

VISION From page A1 that every person has a voice.�

The rest of the survey takes a kind of check-allthat-apply format, asking participants what they would like to see in their city and things they don’t like about their city. At the end, participants are asked a few open-ended questions.

Though the survey can be filled out anonymously, participants are able to enter name and contact information to be entered in a $250 cash drawing.

To get the word out about the survey, the Chamber has mailed postcards to every address in the 27360 and 27361 ZIP codes — about 21,000 post cards in all. “It has the potential to reach more citizens,� said City Manager Kelly Craver. “It’s trying to get input from the community about what they would like to see.�

That ability to reach far and wide is part of the reason why the Chamber settled on a survey in the first place. “Everyone gets the opportunity to be engaged,�

Croft said. “This is allinclusive. Obviously we can’t get 40,000 people sitting around a conference table, but we can get 40,000 people if they want to express themselves. It gives them a voice.�

Not to mention a survey gathers data in a succinct and easily usable form, identifying trends more clearly than a roundtable discussion would.

But that doesn’t mean the process won’t include discussion. “We are following up a little later with a few community forums that everyone can attend,�

Croft said. “This is the first step.�

One forum will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. at the Ball Park Road Community Center, and the other will be on Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. at Memorial United Methodist Church.

Though the format of these forums hasn’t entirely been drafted yet, Croft says they will be designed to allow citizens to discuss specific topics and patterns identified in the survey. “The community forum is about strengthening our community, moving forward,� he said. “There’s not going to be 40,000 surveys that all say the same thing, but there will definitely be some trends.�

Such statistical analysis plays a crucial role in the Community Vision and Strategic Plan Process primarily because it gives leaders concrete items to consider. “That gives the leadership of this community — a combination of the Chamber and City Hall and business leaders —

TAKE THE SURVEY!

To access the survey, visit the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Web site at www.thomasvillechamber.net by Oct. 24. some direction to take,�

Croft said. “It’s identifying trends and giving the leadership in the community data to make decisions in the future.�

And now certainly seems the perfect time to embark on such a journey, what with the shifting economy and transforming culture. “The national economy has certainly changed, and our local economy is changing on its own,�

Croft said. “It’s just a great time. We’re all sort of at this moment equally engaged and invested in this process. At this point, everyone’s on the same team.�

At some point down the road, Croft says leaders will take the combined data from the community survey and input from the community forums

and put them towards concrete changes and developments in the community. But, of course, the process has to start somewhere. “Making a plan without a vision is like you don’t know where you’re aiming,� Croft said. “But making a vision and not planning is just a dream. It’s been a wonderful process. We’re still in the early stages, but we’ve been hard at it for a couple of months.

The steering committee is affectionately referred to as ‘The Dream Team’ — we’re dreaming. Then we’re going to take those dreams and put them into action.�

hart, cousin of the bride, Libby Wagner, aunt of the bride, and Jane Baity, aunt of the bride. The luau was held at Brandi Everhart’s home in Lexington.

The couple celebrated their honeymoon at the Primland Resort in Meadows of Dan, Va., and will reside in Greensboro.

The bride has a B.A. in communications studies from UNC-Greensboro and a B.A. in accounting from High Point University. She is currently a staff accountant with Bernard Robinson and Company in Greensboro.

The groom received an M.S. in accounting from Appalachian State University. He is currently an audit manager at Dixon Hughes in High Point.

Several weeks ago, I was invited by a friend of mine who is a second grade teacher at a local school, to her classes show-and-tell day. I thought that I’d probably see rocks, toys, frogs, dolls, pictures and things like that. That was not the case. I saw an Oscar-worthy tableau from a second grader.

This child will surely be a famous actress from right here in Thomasville, North Carolina.

I asked the teacher what her goal was for show and tell? She told me that after a few sessions with her students it would help them get over their shyness and experience a little public speaking. Well as I sat there, I did see model cars, baby dolls, a turtle by the name of Charlie, a rock, and of course, drawn pictures of different sorts. The teacher placed limits on what they could bring to school and what they could and could not talk about.

Well, I will call this little girl Erica, a very bright outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under a sweater she was wearing. She held up a snapshot of an infant.

going to tell you about his birthday. First Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put his seed in Mom’s stomach.

“And Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through what Mom called and Umbrella cord.”

By this time I began to squirm in my seat.

She stands there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying so hard not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching with amazement. Erica begins again, “Then about two Saturdays ago, my Mom started saying and going, ‘Oh, oh, oh.’” Erica then puts a hand behind her back and groans. “She was walking around the house for like an hour, saying ‘Oh, oh oh!’”

The kid’s doing this hysterical duck walk, holding her back and groaning. She is being very dramatic! The child is all over the classroom waddling and screaming, “Oh,oh, oh.”

“My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she don’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my Mom to lie down in the bed like this.”

Erica lies down with her back against the wall. And then, pop! “My Mom has this bag of water she kept in case she got thirsty, and it

just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!” This kid has her legs spread and with her little hands are miming water flowing away. It was too much!

“Then the middle wife starts saying, ‘Push, push, push, and breathe, breathe.’ They started counting, but never got past 10. Then, all of a sudden, out come my brother. Luke was covered in yucky stuff that looked like cream cheese and said it was from my Mom’s playcenter (placenta). There was so much stuff in there, and I don’t want anymore cream cheese!”

Then Erica stood up took a grand theatrical bow and returned to her seat in the classroom. I’m sure I applauded the loudest!

After that I thought I was going into labor!

Ever since then, if it’s show-and-tell day, I will bring my camcorder with a parent, teacher, and school’s permission, just in case another Erica comes along.

Life is meant to be lived ... enjoy! Uncle Bill says, go into this world with peace of mind, love one another, be safe, be strong, and remember God loves us all. Until next time, Uncle Bill is over and out. Have a great week folks!

Something to believe in VIEWPOINT

ERIN WILTGEN Syndicated Columnist It’s that time of year again.

Time for me to dust off my Green Bay Packer baseball cap (alas, I don’t own a cheese head — yes, denied as a child) and to circle four dates on my calendar marking the be-all-end-all matchups against the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears.

The perfect time to honk happily at cars sporting GB bumper stickers and banter with the occasionally misguided fan sporting a Vikings hat or a large orange C. Approximately 900 miles from the Frozen Tundra, I’m a bit outside Packer country, I admit. But that’s the beauty of being a sports fan — it doesn’t matter where you go, you always have a way to show where your loyalties lie. And every Sunday (or Monday) you unite with the thousands of other fans across the country shouting “Go, Pack, Go!” Green Bay fans have a long track record of loyalty. Every game at Lambeau Field has been sold out since 1960, no matter the team’s record or performance, and Packers consistently rank among the top teams in the NFL in terms of popularity.

But the mere fact that I bleed green and yellow isn’t the only reason I enjoy devoting so much to my team.

There’s something to be said for being part of a group like that, for folks of vastly different backgrounds coming together behind a goal completely different from every other reality in life.

Being a sports fan connects people, and not just people rooting for the same team. It gives the middle-class, middleaged mother something to chat about with the just-making-ends-meet college kid bagging her groceries in the super market. It gives husbands of two long-lost friends

something to chat about during the spontaneous flurry of hugs and “oh how have you been?” outside of JC Penny.

It gives people something to believe in.

How many sports movies have we seen where there’s a small town struggling in a down economy or a school battling racial issues or even the latest, a country working towards unification, that comes together behind the face of sports team? In the movies the team usually ends up a successful one, but what it all boils down to is through sports — through a team — people begin believing in things bigger than themselves.

And it doesn’t even matter how much you really like the sport. My little sister, for example, never really got into football. Sure, she rooted for the packers. Sure, she idolized that cute Brett Favre just like every Wisconsinite of our generation. But let’s be honest, she never scheduled her day around Packer games the way the rest of us did.

Now … well, things have changed a bit. In August, Lauren began her freshman year at Colombia College — in Illinois. Yep, in the heart of Bears country.

She may not like football all that much more than she did a few months ago, but it seems that being in such a foreign land has impressed upon her how important ties to a home team really are.

Monday night proved a little rough for her, it’s true — I think she ended up watching most of the game quietly in her room with a few close, non-Illinois friends. But the point is, Lauren connected with a team for a sport she doesn’t really care about because it in turn connected her to the people she cared about. And to the state she cared about.

So whether you wear a cheese head, sport the silver star or paint NY on your chest — or even if you just flip the channel to the Panthers game during commercials — let those colors shine and stand behind your team.

It’s good for all of us to have something we can believe in together.

It’s the marriage rate, stupid VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist Income inequality, we learn from the Census Bureau, has reached the highest level since data were first collected on the subject in 1967. Poverty has increased dramatically, with one of seven Americans now falling below the poverty threshold.

Additionally, the Census Bureau reports that the rate of marriage has declined since the recession began.

Just 52 percent of adults over the age of 18 are married now compared with 57 percent a decade ago.

“Given the scope of the recent recession, many more couples are likely to choose cohabitation over marriage in the coming years,” Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau told The Associated Press.

Mather may be correct, but if so, Americans are choosing exactly the wrong way to weather hard times because marriage is one of the surest ways to escape poverty.

Some of those moving in together cite practicality. It’s cheaper for two to share an apartment, microwave, utilities, etc, than for each to have his or her own. These efficiencies hold true for cohabiting couples as much as for marrieds. Modern weddings being expensive affairs, economically strapped young people may be choosing to skip the big party and just move in together, assuming that they are being prudent.

But cohabitation doesn’t begin to confer the benefits that marriage does. In “The State of Our Unions,” scholars associated with the Insti-

tute for American Values outline some of the advantages married couples enjoy over their single counterparts.

“Men who marry,” writes Alex Roberts, “typically earn more because marriage itself leads to increases in income; that is, men who marry work harder, work smarter, and earn more than their unmarried peers ... Cohabiting couples ... are less likely to pool resources, feel obligated to spend wisely and save, or invest in the future of the household.” Married men earn between 10 and 40 percent more than their single counterparts with similar educational and job histories.

Married couples also create more wealth than single people or cohabiting couples. “A 1992 study of retirement data concluded that ‘individuals who are not continuously married have significantly lower wealth than those who remain married throughout their lives.’”

A study of 7,608 household heads between 1984 and 1989 found that those who married saw income increases of 50 to 100 percent, and net wealth increases of 400 to 600 percent. “Continuously married households had about double the income and four times the net worth of the continuously divorced and never-married, on average.”

Marriage also bestows more emotional well-being. A study by W. Bradford Wilcox and others, “Marriage and Mental Health in Adults and Children,” reports that “Married Americans were more than twice as likely as divorced or separated Americans to say they were very happy with life in general. Cohabiting, never-married, and widowed individuals’ happiness resembled that of divorced and separated people more than married people.”

Married people were also less likely to suffer from depression and other forms of mental anguish: “Married men and women report fewer symptoms of mental illness and psychological distress than do otherwise

similar individuals who are not married. Longitudinal research shows that it is not merely that mentally healthy people are more likely to get or stay married. Instead, marriage itself appears to boost mental health. Remaining unmarried or getting divorced seems to result, on average, in a deterioration in mental well-being.”

Children of married couples are far healthier mentally and physically than the children of cohabiting, divorced, or never-married couples. Wilcox et al cite one study suggesting that the tripling of the teen suicide rate over the past half-century is closely associated with divorce, while married men are half as likely as single men to kill themselves.

Marriage knits the couple into a kinship network in which interest-free loans, baby-sitting, elder care, and other forms of assistance in hard times are more readily available. Sadly, among those most in need of these added supports — those with lower levels of education — marriage is in steep decline. More than 50 percent of new mothers without college degrees are unmarried, compared with only 7 percent of mothers with college diplomas. In fact, among the college-educated, marriage has strengthened over the past several decades, leading to a “marriage gap” that goes a long way toward explaining the slowing of growth in family income over the past generation.

Married-couple families have become a rapidly diminishing segment of total families over the past 20 years.

The young adults who move in together imagining that a wedding is too expensive are paying a far higher price than they recognize.

A6 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, October 2, 2010

FROM PAGE A1 PIECES From page A1

Susan doesn’t consider the room a shrine but more a place of reflection, somewhere she can go to feel close to her little girl in the last place Kate called home.

“It’s a big ole visual reminder right in your face,” Susan said of Kate’s room.

“It was such a perfect place for her to come to. It’s so unlike the places she spent the last two years in. It hurts sometimes when I go in there and that’s just because she’s all around. You can feel her aura. There’s a warmness and a love in there because so many people touched that room. It’s a palpable feeling and that’s why it takes emotional energy for me to go in there. It’s not sad or bad, but I have to be prepared when I walk in there. It’s a place where I go to have a good cry.”

Being in their new home has brought some peace to the Thorntons. Ever since Kate’s diagnosis in 2008, Susan and Joe Thornton mostly have been living separate lives, splitting time caring for their five children. While Susan spent time in various hospitals, often sleeping in the same tiny bed as Kate, Joe worked fulltime, trying to fill the role of both mom and dad for four kids.

“I couldn’t be mommy and daddy all the time,” Joe Thornton said. “There were times when the kids wanted their Mommy, and that was hard. There were things Mommy did that I couldn’t do.

I don’t have the mommy touch. The whole separation was hard. Now, I guess I just focus on building our life back and spending time together as a family.”

Since Kate’s death, the couple has realized that love still exists between them, despite all the hardships of the past two years. Shared interests that brought the two together are still there and they finally live in a house where everyone isn’t living on top of one another. Susan said the family can finally start creating shared memories while keeping Kate close to their hearts.

“Our family was completely fragmented,” Susan said. “I have discovered that even when the children are grown, Joe and I still have a relationship, which is kind of nice. I realized that we do still have common interests. We’ve slept

WATER From page A1

several years ago based on the infrastructure needs of the city as well as the costs incurred by day-to-day activities,” Craver said. “Ten years ago we were selling 3 million gallons worth of treated water and treating 3 million gallons of sewage a day. Due to the loss of industry we’ve had in town, we’ve lost nearly three-quarters of a million of those gallons worth of customers a day. Our costs are still the same and some of the operational costs — such as for fuel — have increased.

“We’ve also spent $27 million to upgrade a failing water treatment plant that was being fined every day, every month, thousands and thousands of dollars, so those improvements had to be made. And we’re going to have make even more investments in infrastructure in the coming years that is going to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

We can’t continue to have spills.”

Councilman Scott Styers continued to defend the rate increase, saying that operational costs for water and sewer services are the same regardless of the number of customers served.

“You can’t subsidize it with your general operational revenue. It must stand on it’s on,” Styers said. “When you’ve got less product to sell, which is water, and less sewer to treat, the prices have to rise to cover the overall operational costs.”

With the debt the city will need to incur to repair the water and sewer infrastructure, Craver says residents can expect additional increases in

under the same roof twice since February. We were basically living the lives of two single parents, living parallel lives. It feels good to reconnect and be together.”

For Susan, reconnecting with the rest of family is still an ongoing process.

Having spent virtually every minute of the past two years with her daughter, readjusting to her home life is something she is taking one day at a time. Susan tries to stay busy, but she still finds herself sort of going through the motions, trying to figure out how to spend her days.

“You have to learn how to relinquish control,” said Susan. “I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing and where I’m going. I’ve been so focused on being on-call every second for two years. I’m just trying to figure what I’m supposed to do with the rest of my life. I don’t know what normal is like anymore.

[Kate] could look at me and I could tell someone what she wanted or what she was thinking. Will I have that connection with another human being again? I hope I don’t have to. In that regards, I’m sort of lost.”

The Thorntons plan on keeping their daughter’s legacy alive through Kisses4Kate.com. Just how much the couple will do in the coming weeks is undecided. Family friends Kat Manzella and Kayte Oliver have spearheaded the Web site’s efforts to help other children like Kate, and Susan and Joe plan on being apart of it, too. For now, the family is simply concentrating on healing and getting used to being together again.

Bella, the Thornton’s 1-year-old daughter, came home this week from her grandparent’s house, marking the first time they all have been together under one roof in ages. The recovery is slow, but together — through their faith and the memory of their daughter — the Thorntons feel anything is possible.

“I can never repay the kindness people have shown my family,” Susan said.

“What I can do is put all that energy and love for my daughter behind me and go out there and try to help others.”

Susan and Joe eventually will move forward. With time, their pain will lessen and their efforts to help others will grow. The difference now is that the Thorntons will face adversity together, as a family, which is about all the normal they could hope for.

the future.

“We have to have another rate study to see what these projects are going to end up costing and roll those into our capital improvement plan and then see what the increases will be,” Craver said.

Resident Johnny West found crowd support as he noted the burden the increase places on citizens who are struggling financially.

“There’s a 16.5 percent poverty rate in North Carolina right now and Thomasville has quite a bit of those living right here,” West said. “I don’t know if you [city council and city manager] realize that there are over 350 people in Thomasville that their water has been turned off because they can’t pay their water bills.

You talk about you’ve lost customers from the mills and hosiery, but us people are barely getting by. You want to raise the sewer rates and you know there are people that can’t pay it.

“I think what we aught to do is not pay you guys water and sewer and see how the city’s going to operate then. How is your salary going to get paid?

First-term council member Jackie Jackson fielded the question.

“You’re right on, but you have to understand we have expenses that have to be covered,” Jackson said. “Your frustration is directed correctly at us because we [council] voted to make that change. We’re like everyone else, we have a bucket of money coming in and a bucket of bills that have to be paid. Sometimes unfortunately, things don’t get paid. If I could get water for free, I want to get it, but that’s not possible.

We have problems with the water plant that have to be fixed. How else is that going to be paid.”

Ronald Bratton, former police chief and firstterm council member, further tried to describe the reason behind the water rate increase.

“You’ve got a limited amount of money that comes in every year and if plants close and the tax base goes down that means less money comes in,” Bratton said. “Every department in this city has been cut back, people have been laid off to keep from having to raise taxes and I think we still provide the services you want.

“We’re making every attempt to fix the pump stations. We’ve only got a certain amount of money we can spend.”

Several residents of the Fair Grove community expressed how unfair they thought the water increases were since many were told their water bills would decrease once they were annexed into the city.

Resident Barney Hill quoted a former council member, Benny Bowers, to make his point about both the annexation and water rates.

“Benny Bowers warned years ago that what the annexation was going to do is run sewer lines out to people who would never connect to it and the debt service would be paid by the people in the existing city who could not afford to pay it,” Hill said. “That is exactly what has happened.”

Hill said if the city were to retract some of the annexed areas, it would help to decrease the pressure on residents.

“If you can get to the point where you can take the burden off of people and have a little bit of humility, it wouldn’t be the largest city in Davidson County anymore, but it would be the happiest city in Davidson County.”

Seeking Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touch through rain, wind and ďŹ re KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

We finally got some decent rains. Last Sunday as I was walking into the grocery store, people were enjoying the rainfall even though it inconvenienced them.

People were even commenting on how wonderful it was to see the rain. I noticed a couple of people walking slowly and allowing the rain to fall gently upon their heads. Even on Monday most people seemed glad

to be getting some rain after the long dry spell.

I ate my lunch sitting on the front porch on Sunday just listening to the rain fall in the trees.

Listening to the rain is such a peaceful and soothing experience. I talked to several people in Monday who said they took a nice afternoon nap on Sunday while they listened to the rain falling on their roofs.

I have to admit I was having a little trouble being at work on Monday as I was wishing I could be at home curled up with a good book in my chair. Naturally, the soothing rain would lead to an afternoon nap.

We had a record breaking hot summer that was missing the usual afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

I am afraid we lost a number of trees, shrubs, and plants due to the dry summer. I hope the

recent rains will help alleviate the some of the problems. I have been studying some of the long-range forecasts which are predicting the dry pattern will continue through fall and into winter. If that is the case, we need to appreciate every drop that falls.

I believe we are also experiencing dryness in a spiritual sense, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make much sense if you stop and think about it. If you go back through history and look at times when things have been difficult economically, there is a trend toward spiritual awakening. With the recent prolonged economic difficulties there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be a spiritual awaking. I am wondering why people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turning to God. I want to see a revival come to our country. I want to see peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives touched and changed by

the power of God. I am praying for renewal for the body of Christ so we can effectively reach out to the lost and give them hope. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe we are living in a particularly worse time than any other time in history.

Throughout time people have gone through cycles of seeking and desiring a relationship with God and then times of trying to live without God. Even in the Bible there are plenty of examples of times when people lived whole- heartedly for God and times when they lived for their own pleasure. God sent prophets to call the people back to a relationship with Himself. Sometimes the people responded and other times they continued in their sinful, self-seeking lifestyle. God showed great patience in Biblical times and I hope His patience will not run out in our time.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, to use us to reach out to the lost and offer them the love, hope, peace, mercy, and grace they so desperately desire. I want to see God move; will you join me in that kind of prayer?

Heidelberg UCC concert series returns next week TIMES STAFF REPORT

The Music Ministry of Heidelberg United Church of Christ announces the fourth in its 2010 concert season. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival of Hymns & Anthemsâ&#x20AC;? is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 10 in the church sanctuary.

The church is located at 118 Salem St., Thomasville.

The festival will feature congregational singing and anthems performed by The Festival Singers. This is the premier performance of this group. This ensemble of professional and semi-professional singers was handselected for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival of Hymns & Anthems.â&#x20AC;? The singers are from Heidelberg, Memorial United Methodist, Wesley Memorial United Methodist and vocal performance majors from the High Point University School of Music. Conducting this group will be Josef Walker, Choirmaster and Organist of the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not enough to have a good voice and to sing well,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, it requires excellent musicianship and the ability to achieve an ensemble sound with very few rehearsals.â&#x20AC;?

The hymn singing should be inspirational with the congregationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation. Some hymns will be sung antiphonally and for other hymns sectional singing will be employed. For some hymns only treble voices will sing a stanza, followed by bass voices singing the next, then the choir and finally the congregation and choir singing the final stanza. There will be a number of descants and modulations as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The repertoire is rather demanding, especially for so few voices,â&#x20AC;? the choirmaster said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here the emphasis is on quality of sound rather than quantity of participants.â&#x20AC;?

The program is free and open to the public. The hope is people will avail themselves of this unique worship experience opportunity. Immediately following the program, a reception for The Festival Singers will be held in the Fouts Fellowship Hall, sponsored by the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild of the church.

Let me help you get the best coverage to fit your needs.

Knowing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covered is just a call away.

If we are going to see a renewal and revival come to our land it is going to take some people crying out to God. It seems that history has shown us that God waits until people pray and seek Him before He pours out revival. I believe God is attracted to someone who persistently asks Him to come, to someone who will not stop asking God to move upon a land and to bring renewal and revival.

Some people ask for the wind of God to move.

Wind always brings a change and that is what we need. Some people refer to God moving like falling rain or streams of living water. Water is a life-giving force and where the spirit of God is moving there is a sense of renewal in the hearts and minds of people. Some people pray for the fire of God to fall. Fire brings

Ledford’s Tola Odedere causes Central Davidson runner I’Tik Barnes to fumble during Friday night’s game. The Panthers would fall to the Spartans, 42-14.

Spartans steamroll Ledford

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor SOUTHMONT – With Thomasville looming next week, Central Davidson made sure they left Friday’s game against Ledford in top form.

Piling up 403 yards on the ground, the Spartans manhandled the Panthers in a 42-14 thumping on Homecoming.

The triple-threat, option rushing attack of I’Tik Barnes, Josh Wright and Saig Skeen chalked up yards in a variety of ways, cutting outside, breaking tackles and simply running through the defense.

“Defensively, I knew we would be in for a challenge,” said LHS head coach Chris Adams. “Their offensive line beat up our defensive line. The game is won in the trenches and they certainly won it there tonight.”

Central (5-1) struck on its third drive of the game starting at their 37 yard line with 4:03 to go in the first quarter. Josh Wright picked up five on first down, then Barnes took the handoff and rumbled 48 yards down to the 10 of Ledford. Two plays later Barnes was rewarded, going over the right side for a score.

Ledford’s offense sputtered as it did for much of the night on the next series of downs, punting the ball away after netting just one yard.

Taking over on its own 37 once again, the Spartans

Blue Devils land top hoops recruit

BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Austin Rivers planned to a trip to the Triangle this weekend, but changed his mind Thursday.

He’s got another trip planned here that’s expected to last a whole lot longer.

Rivers, rated among the nation’s top basketball players in the Class of 2011, canceled a planned recruiting visit to North Carolina and instead committed to Duke.

A 6-4 shooting guard with serious scoring skills, Rivers told his high school coach that Duke was where he wanted to be.

“I think [it’s] the fact that he fell in love with Duke, with the campus and with the coaches,” said David Bailey, Rivers’ coach at Winter Park (Fla.) High

methodically strung together a 10-play, 63-yard drive to find paydirt. Barnes finished it off by rushing right, then cutting inside for a 2-yard run with 8:11 to go in the first half.

The Panthers (2-4) had one of their best drives go for naught immediately following the score, driving from their 35 to the CDHS 13. The offense would stall, and Zach Gilliam’s 30-yard field goal attempt was blocked.

“We needed to make something good happen early, and we did not do that,” said Adams. Offensively, we had to do a better job than we did.”

With 5:00 showing, Central ate up nearly the entire clock with an 80-yard scoring drive.

LHS had a good chance of thwarting the effort with Central facing a third-and-17 from the 43, but a double-reverse pass from Chris Pompey to Chaz Norman brought the ball to the 11 for a first down. Wright scored on an inside handoff to give Central a 21-0 lead heading into the half.

The Spartans came away empty-handed on its first drive of the second half, fumbling the ball away to Ledford. The Panthers could do nothing with it, losing four yards on the drive.

Central’s ground attack continued to punish the Ledford defense in the second half, scoring on runs of one yard each time. Norman added a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown for the Spartans, giving them a 42-0 edge.

Jack Leonard and I were having a great bird hunt. Jack’s pointer, Sam, was finding birds.

I’d even connected on a couple and it was a perfect day. I knew by the second covey that I’d made a serious mistake. It had been such a simple mistake but the consequences were making me miserable.

A month earlier, I’d purchased a new pair of Browning, Chuka boots.

Made of kangaroo hide, they were lightweight, comfortable and water resistant. I figured they’d be perfect for a long day of walking after a bird dog and, had it not been for one thing, they would have.

It was early fall and we were covering every imaginable kind of terrain and the seeds from the weeds were working deeper and deeper into my shoes and socks. The Chukas were a shorter boot than I normally wore and by the time we found the third covey, it felt like my kangaroo boots were lined with thumb tacks and fish hooks. I found a stump and spent a few minutes cleaning out my socks and shoes before I could go any further. My new boots weren’t high enough to keep everything that fell off the weeds from dropping right down around my ankles and I had to go through the

UNC safety cleared to play vs. ECU

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina safety Da’Norris Searcy was cleared to play Thursday, giving the Tar Heels’ depleted secondary an instant boost.

The senior was one of 12 players — including four-projected starting defensive backs-- who missed the first three games of the season because of the ongoing investigation into agents and academics. He will make his season debut against East Carolina on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) in Kenan Stadium.

“He was totally cleared

from the academic review and so he’s clear to play,” UNC coach Butch Davis said. “We’ll try to figure out what kind of role Da’Norris can play with such short notice with only a day before the game this week.”

Searcy has 14 career starts, including 13 a year ago, but sophomore Gene Robinson has been starting in his place. Searcy, who stands at 6-0 and 215 pounds, had one interception and 35 tackles a year ago.

Injury Report UNC released its longest injury report of the season Thursday. Starting linebacker Quan

Sturdivant (thigh) and starting running back Johnny White (ankle) are questionable after getting hurt against Rutgers.

Running back Hunter Furr (knee) and offensive lineman T.J. Leifheit (ankle) are also questionable, while quarterback A.J. Blue (knee), defensive tackle Jared McAdoo (illness) and fullback Devon Ramsay (ankle) are probable.

Giovani Bernard (knee), Brendon Felder (knee), Tommy Heffernan (shoulder) and Shane Mularkey (shoulder) are all out while Matt Kolojejchick and Darius Lipford are doubtful.

SOCKS From page B1 process twice more that day. I wished there was something that would keep the seeds from falling down and working into my socks.

Socks are an often overlooked aspect of comfort outdoors and now, thirty years later, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a solution to my seed in the sock problem. My quest for socks that fit the need has lasted most of my outdoor career and within the last year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found three new socks that cured most of my sock problems.

Filson Heavyweight Merino Wool OTC sock Last winter I was given a pair of socks that sold for $32. At the time, I scoffed that no socks were worth 32 bucks and by the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d used them on a couple of late winter hunts, I decided that maybe my Filson merino wool socks were.

Of course, like shoes, variety makes life better. Those heavy wool socks were great on the cold days of February but would have been miserable in July.

Wool is the best of the natural materials for wicking moisture away and some would argue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than any synthetic. Filson has always made great outdoor products and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure these great socks have been in the product line for as many years as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around. These were heavy merino wool in an over the calf length.

What really made these socks great was construction. For socks to stay put, they must have good elastic qualities and it must be in the correct part of the sock.

If the elastic is really tight around your toes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to have cold feet but if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no stretch in the middle of the sock, by the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve walked a quarter mile, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wadded up in the bottom of your boot. This is particularly true with waders.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind spending money for something that pays off and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the day Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have paid $32 for those socks

Watkins 13 kills and five blocks, Lauren Leonard nine kills and Kelsey templeton had 32 assists.

just to have them for the rest of the day. They were without a doubt the best socks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever used for cold weather.

The socks that worked so good for my bird hunts in February would also work great for duck hunting, deer hunting, or any other cold weather endeavor.

This summer, I found the best summer sock Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever tried. The sock is a merino wool blend, standard height lightweight sock. Huffman Mills is an old style family owned company in Granite Falls, North Carolina.

What makes these socks great is again material and construction. The wool blend assures my feet never feel sweaty and the quality construction with good elastic around the instep and above the ankle assure the socks stay put. I found these socks at the factory outlet store on Highway 321 but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also available through Sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide. A great sock at a great price.

To get back to the bird hunt with seeds in my socks, I found the solution this year at SHOT Show. The sock is called Cuffsox and they would have vastly improved my day of bird hunting years ago.

With ordinary socks, I sometimes turn the sock down over the boot top to better keep the sock in place and make sure the

laces donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tangled with vines and such.

This works fine except it exposes the top of the sock for debris to fall in and result in a sock full of seeds and dirt.

In the past, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed the situation by wearing chaps which overlap my boot tops and prevent the problem. The down side of this is that chaps are hot and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly not going to wear them with shorts. Cuffsox has cured the problem. They construct the sock with an extra layer beginning at the top of boot level. This allows you to pull the sock all the way up and then turn down the outer layer to cover your boot tops and contain the tied laces.

The debris canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the sock because the inner part is up and tight against your leg and it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the boot because the outer layer of sock is turned down over the boot top.

Cuffsox work great but you do have to make sure the height of the turn down matches the height of your boot. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difference in height, the sock will tend to work down because the cuff pulls it as you walk.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struggled with bad socks most of my life and within one year, I solved my sock problems, I just wanted to share. See you out there and keep your socks up.

Brasington says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I attended a race at Darlington several years back, and someone turned to me as it was kicking off and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this amazing, that your granddad started all this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I thought, you know, yes, it is. It truly is. I really had not considered that very much until then. I took it for granted. I thought every small town had a racetrack, and everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddad did cool stuff like that.â&#x20AC;?

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t design quite a hundred places for cars to race, but not for lack of trying. Mr. Brasingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many projects over the years included the construction of the North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham, N.C.; Tarheel Speedway in Randleman, N.C., a joint project with Lee Petty; and Champion Speedway in Fayetteville, N.C., where Bill France Jr. held one of his early racing jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Bill Jr. left the military, his father was looking for an opportunity for him, and talked to my grandfather about putting him to work.

They got him set up to work at Champion Speedway; he was the concessions manager,â&#x20AC;?

Brasington says.

Harold Sr. was also an early participant in the Charlotte Motor Speedway project. He had purchased the land and already begun excavating stone and preparing to build before eventu-

ally selling out to Bruton Smith, who built the track with driver Curtis Turner. Harold III has an original prospectus for the speedway in his memorabilia collection.

Mr. Brasingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for racing was not limited to stock cars.

In the 1970s, he and a partner built the Darlington International Dragway, which is still open and going strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think drag racing really appealed to him because it was similar to the type of atmosphere they had in the early days of stock car racing.

Anybody with the guts to show up with a car and an entry fee could get out there and see what they had. He liked that,â&#x20AC;? Brasington says.

While NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drivers built the sport with their talent, other racing legends literally built it with their hands.

Harold Brasington Sr., is one those people. For a non-driver to be considered for inclusion in the HOF, he or she must have been involved in the industry for at least 10 years. Mr. Brasington fills that requirement, about five times over.

For now, Harold Brasington III says his plan is to reach out to everyone he knows in the industry and ask them to support a future HOF nomination for his grandfather.

He feels that if he can bring the length and breadth of Mr. Brasingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments to widespread attention, it will further his cause and ultimately, give proper credit where it is due. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to recognize the individuals who risked so much and contributed so much to the sport in its early days and get them in the earlier Hall of Fame classes. There are a lot of deserving people out there, but I would like to see those strong pioneers get in there soon. My grandfather was one of those pioneers,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people readily recognize him as the builder of the Darlington track, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful accomplishment, but it just scratches the surface of what he achieved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He contributed so much. I believe he deserves recognition.â&#x20AC;?

When the NASCAR Hall of Fame announces the names of its 2010 inductees on October 13, Harold Brasington Sr. will not be on the list. But if one native South Carolinian has his way, that will change in the near future.

To his family, Mr. Brasington was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a sweet man, a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

He taught his namesake to drive an 18-wheeler by the time he was 14 years old, and would design anything, even inventing games for his grandchildren to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could figure out a hundred ways to throw a ball in a bucket,â&#x20AC;? says his grandson, Harold Brasington III. To the rest of the world, Mr. Brasington is best known as the man who built Darlington Raceway. He is one of the major characters in the famous storytelling of his decision to â&#x20AC;&#x153;pinch inâ&#x20AC;? one end of the racetrack during construction in order to leave a minnow pond on the property undisturbed.

This created both Darlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shape and one of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest folk tales.

The most truly unique thing about Darlington back then, however, was the fact that it hosted the first-ever NASCARsanctioned race run on a paved surface. The sport as we know it today literally didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist until Mr. Brasington built that track.

The minnow pond eventually dried up, but NASCAR flourished and continued to move forward. Mr. Brasington did the same. His racing accomplishments neither started nor ended in Darlington. A trucker by trade, who also owned and operated a sand and gravel business, he became the motorsports equivalent of Johnny Appleseed; wherever he went, he left behind a place where people could watch a race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This guy littered the Carolinas with racetracks. He could not help himself. It was in his blood. He was always looking for a new project, finding another place to build a racetrack of some kind or another,â&#x20AC;? says Harold III, who plans to spend

B4 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, October 2, 2010

SPORTS RECRUIT From page B1 School. “He’s really enjoyed his unofficial visits up there. In his heart, he felt it was the best place for him basketball-wise and school-wise to get to the next level.”

The son of former NBA guard and current Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Austin Rivers averaged 23.9 points per game last season while leading Winter Park to the Florida Class 6A state championship.

He followed that up with a strong summer playing for Team USA in the 18-under junior world championships, where he averaged a teambest 20.2 points for a gold medal-winning team.

“He’ll be one of the best players in the ACC the moment he puts on the jersey for Duke,” said Dave Telep, national recruiting director for Scout.com. “He’s a sure thing.”

Rivers originally committed to Florida in July 2008, following his freshman year at Winter Park High. The Gators were coming off back-to-back national championships and he was sure he wanted to be part of it.

His older sister, Callie, was already playing volleyball at Florida.

Last fall, though, he had second thoughts and decided to re-open his recruitment. He and his family made unofficial visits to Duke’s campus and the Blue Devils the leaders for his services.

He eliminated Florida from consideration last week and scheduled October visits to his three finalists, UNC, Duke and Kansas.

On Thursday morning, he informed UNC and Kansas that he wouldn’t be coming. He had decided on Duke, so there wasn’t any need.

By 2 p.m. Thursday, Rivers sent the following message on his Twitter feed: “World I have decided to go to Duke! Let’s go Blue Devils ha.”

Rivers will be attending Duke’s Countdown to Craziness celebration that marks the start of practice on Oct. 15 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Once he suits up for the Blue Devils in the fall of 2011, Telep anticipates an immediate impact.

“He won’t look like a freshman, I can tell you that,” Telep said. “He is as advanced a scoring guard as we have seen come into college basketball in a while. He has a

BRIEFS From page B2 Brier Creek sports registration Brier Creek is currently holding registration for flag football, 10U and 12U softball and 12U baseball. Each sport is open to any child regardless of school attended.

Ages for flag football are if he/she is 6 years of age on/or before Oct. 16 and not 9 years of age on/or before Oct. 16 of the playing year.

For more information or to register call Stephanie or Robert Meyer at 475-1819, or visit www. briercreekathletics. com. All sports are $65 per player which includes a uniform and trophy at the end of the year.

variety of ways he can hurt you, with his shooting range, his pull-up jumper and his ability to finish.”

Bailey said Rivers’ experience with Team USA last summer made a big difference. The coach has no doubt Rivers will be ready to contribute in a big way for Duke immediately.

“If you would have asked me that a year ago, I wouldn’t have been able to answer that so soundly,” Bailey said.

“But he played on Team USA and led the team in scoring as the youngest player on the team. He can make an immediate impact to help Duke out his first year. He has the potential to be an impact player his first year.”

The third-leading scorer on that Team USA squad was Kyrie Irving, who will begin his freshman season with Duke this month. Irving averaged 13.6 points and 4.2 assists.

They are set to be teammates again for the 201112 season.

“There’s a lot of NBA teams that would like to think about that back court,” Telep said. “It would be difficult to fathom.”

Scout.com has Rivers as the No. 3 player in this year’s senior class and the No. 1 guard. Other sites, like Rivals.com and ESPN.com, have Rivers at the top of the class.

He’ll join a Duke recruiting class that already includes commitments from 6-8 center Tyler Adams of Brandon, Miss., 6-6 small forward Michael Gbinije of Richmond and 6-11 center Marshall Plumlee from Christ School in Arden.

With those three players pledged, Duke had the No. 9-ranked recruiting class according to ESPN. Once Rivers committed Thursday, the Blue Devils were bumped up to No. 2 behind Kentucky.

AREA NEWS DOT to close N.C. 150 ramp on northbound I-85 TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH — Motorists will encounter traffic pattern changes next week as construction work on phase one of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project gets under way in Davidson County near the Yadkin River.

The N.C. Department of Transportation will close the ramp from I-85 North to N.C. 150 on Tuesday, Oct. 5, at 7 a.m., weather permitting. It will remain closed for the duration of the project.

The closure is necessary to build a new interchange, which will improve access to N.C. 150. It will feature ramps to and from I-85 North and I-85 South.

During construction, a detour route will be in place for motorists traveling north on I-85. They will drive past the closed ramp and take Exit 85 towards Clark Road. They will then follow the detour signs on Clark Road and Salisbury Road, which will lead them to N.C. 150.

The interchange work is part of the $136 million contract awarded to Flatiron-Lane, a joint venture of Flatiron Constructors Inc. and The Lane Construction Corp., to widen nearly 3.5 miles of I-85 from four lanes to eight lanes and replace eight bridges, including the I-85 Bridge over the Yadkin River. The project is scheduled to be complete by January 2013.

NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for additional construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit. Know before you go about accidents or traffic delays by calling 511, the department’s toll-free travel information line, or get real-time traffic updates online through NCDOT’s Traveler Information Management System. Citizens can also follow the project on Twitter.

For more information, visit www.i-85yadkinriver. com, or contact Dara Demi, NCDOT Lead Communications Officer, at (919) 733-2522.

Murder suspect will not face death penalty TIMES STAFF REPORT

A man charged with murdering a North Davidson High School student will not face the death penalty.

Michael John Craver, 21, of 2113 Craver Road in Arcadia, is charged with murdering Shelby Montgomery Lee Chisom, 17, by throwing a brick paving stone through the windshield of a car she was a passenger in last month at a party in Wel-

come. Chisom, a rising senior at NDHS, died from internal bleeding from a lacerated liver. At a hearing in Davidson County Superior Court Tuesday, prosecutors decided to not seek the death penalty, citing insufficient evidence.

Craver was issued a $250,000 bond and will have to stay at his parent’s house under certain restrictions. An official court date has not been set.

LEXIXNGTON — The Davidson County Board of Commissioners Tuesday voted down an E-Verify program, an Internet-based system at no price to the county that would allow employers to verify an employee’s legal status.

The proposed proclamation outlined repercussions to any contractor that entered into an agreement with the county and hired an employee not authorized to work in the U.S. Commissioners Billy Joe Kepley, Don Truell, Max Walser, Sam Watford and Cathy Dunn voted against the proposal, primarily citing concerns about overly strict repercussions or not enough time to research the proposal.

Also at the meeting, commissioners: • Approved incentive grant for Project Plus, revealed as TIMCO Aviation Services. TIMCO will invest $2.6 million in real property and $5 million in machinery.

The company will create 275 jobs over 5 years and 225 additional jobs in the following two, totalling 500 jobs in seven years. The county will enter into a partnership with Wallburg to purchase the property and lease it to the company for $75,000 a year, with the county paying $50,000 and Wallburg paying $25,000.

• Approved five-year incentive grant of .0027 times the total investment not to exceed $5,400 for Project Z, which will invest $2 million and create 20 jobs in exchange.

• Approved incentive grant for Denton Recycling.

The five-year grant is .0027 times the total investment in real property each year for five years and .0054 times the total investment in machinery and equipment for one year. The total grant will not exceed $700 a year. In return, the company will create two jobs and invest $200,000.

• Gave Davidson County Schools the go-ahead to apply for Qualified School Construction Bonds of $10 million.

• Set a public hearing for Oct. 12 about a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant application for an Astran Drive sewer project.

• Recognized the retirement of Dean Vick from the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, I have been invited to speak to a group of people. I am excited about the opportunity but I am really nervous. Do you have any tips for giving a great presentation?

— Bundle of Nerves Dear Bundle of Nerves Feeling nervous before giving a presentation or speech is natural.

It demonstrates your desire to do well. Being successful in public speaking is often measured by the connection between you, your audience and the message.

When we speak our goal is to transfer information, empower change, create awareness and inspire or encourage.

Often the challenge is to create an environment that fosters action after your presentation.

Here are a few tips for giving a great presentation:

Passion There is a zeal that

“What is the desired outcome of this presentation?” It is equally important to know your materials. If you are uncomfortable with them your nervousness will increase. Practice is a requirement. Rehearse the entire presentation and make adjustments as needed. Only in speaking out loud will you discover where the gaps are and how the transitions flow. Speaking or presenting is actually structured conversation with a focused point. An audience comes into a presentation asking, “Why am I here?” Your job is to give them something they can use. If you are successful they will leave asking, “How do I implement these ideas?”

“We are not the superstars, our audience is.

We are not the center of attention, the message is.” – Connie Podesta

shines through a presenter’s face when he or she is speaking on a topic they have passion for. That zeal is also seen when there is a passion for people and a deep desire to make a difference in the lives they encounter. Think of something you believe in so strongly that you are immoveable, something you live, that should be your message.

Delivering a message you are passionate about will also give you confidence that you have something valuable to share.

As author and business guru Tom Peters said, “Forget all the conventional rules but one. There is one golden rule: Stick to topics you deeply care about, and do not keep your passion buttoned inside your vest. An audience’s biggest kick is the speaker’s obvious enthusiasm. If you are lukewarm about the issue, then forget it.”

Prepare the Message and the Audience Great presentations take time. On average speakers spend one hour for every minute they speak. This time includes asking questions, getting to know who the audience is as well as preparing the content.

If you research all you can about the audience in front of you, when you share things that relate to them it brings warmth and increases their interest. A great place to start is to ask this question,

prior to your presentation. Being interested in them will take the focus off of yourself and this will help you to relax. It is less intimidating to speak to people you know.

Relax Relax by taking slow, deep breaths. Imagine yourself presenting, your tone is clear and assured, you are confident and charming. When you see yourself as successful that is what your audience will see. During your presentation don’t apologize or make excuses for being nervous, you may be calling attention to something the audience had not realized. The audience has granted you authority and there is a level of credibility and trust given to you. It is up to you to take it. Remember that your audience wants you to succeed.

They are on your side and cheering for you.

Arrive Early Arriving early to get familiar with the space and to test all audio and visual equipment can reduce the level of anxiety. If you are using PowerPoint go through all the slides. If there is a video, make sure you play it in its’ entirety.

Walk around in the place you will be presenting and practice using the microphone and any other visual aids.

Tammy Holyfield is a professional speaker, leadership expert, author and consultant, on a mission to teach and inspire people to improve their everyday life.

Her latest book is due on the shelves soon, co-authored with the legendary business development expert, best-selling author and speaker, Brian Tracy. The forthcoming book is “Counter-Attack: Business Strategies for Explosive Growth in the New Economy.”
