Cuts in road funds curb improvements

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

A large part of any citys’ funds for road maintenance ironically comes from the sale of gasoline. Anyone who has taken the time to read the small print on pumps while filling up their gas tanks knows that a portion of the money is taxed.

The state then collects that money and disperses it back to cities in the form of Powell Bill funds to help care for roads not maintained by the Department of Transportation.

In another strange twist,

whenever the price of gasoline goes up, especially during tough economic times, the money cities get actually comes down. In the past few years, Thomasville has seen these Powell Bill funds dwindle substantially, forcing city officials to make some difficult decisions when it comes to what roads get repaved. “We’ve seen a steady decline, and a very significant decline of funds coming to us,� Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver said. “Gasoline is near $3 a gallon and the economy is depressed. Barrels of gasoline have dropped, hence we’ve seen

TOWN HALL TOPICS a trending downward of Powell Bill funds coming to the city to maintain the same number of streets and the same miles with virtually the same population.�

Powell Bill funds not only pay for repaving projects. The money helps maintain the dayto-day operations of Thomasville’s street department. Taking away more than $100,000 from these funds is causing the city to choose between paying for potholes or paying employee salaries.

“That has been a great source of income for the City of Thomasville to help maintain streets,� said Craver. “However, we’ve seen a decline from $661,000 this year where it was around $830,000 three years ago. These funds pay for salaries, and buys trucks and asphalt. It’s our dayto-day operating money as well as for repaving projects. It’s a tremendous hit. Our cost of doing paving and buying asphalt are based on petroleum products and those prices are escalating and our dollars coming in

Switzer outlines priorities for Davidson County

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Jeff Switzer, a Democrat from Lexington, will compete for one of four spots for Davidson County Commissioner in the November election.

Switz er, who also ran for commisSwitzer sioner four years ago, has decided to re-enter the political game in an attempt to move Davidson County into the future.

A large part of that future rests on economic development, especially as the county pulls itself out of the recession, slowly but surely. And as small and independent businesses have over and over again been heralded

FULFILLING THE BUCKET LIST

Friendship Elementary is excited about its new character education initiative for the 2010-11 school year. It is based on the book, ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids,’ written by Carol McCloud. The theory of the bucket and the dipper is that everyone has an invisible bucket, which is constantly emptied or filled, depending on what others do. It is an exceptional honor to be able to not think about yourself, but in turn, think about other people’s feelings.

Server crash leaves TCS staff without e-mail access

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

So much of what people do these days revolves around the Internet, especially when it comes to sending and receiving e-mails.

When phone calls fail, e-mails are one of the most reliable forms of communication. For the past week, employees with Thomasville City Schools have been left out of the cyber-loop thanks to a rare system-wide computer failure that cut off access to both e-mails and documents.

During Tuesday’s monthly meeting, TCS board members were told that efforts are being made to restore e-mail access to school system employees following a Sept. 27 server crash that rekindled memories of days before the Internet. “We literally had a hardware failure,� TCS Technology Director Mike Ingram said. “It was all internal e-mails and internal documents. We just have not had access to e-mails for a week.�

Ingram said a piece of hardware called a blade enclosure crashed and the vendor failed to honor a four-hour warranty that would’ve fixed the problem that same day.

Instead of replacing the hardware, Ingram said the vendor attempted to send individual parts that did not correct the issue. “They were making us jump through all sorts of hoops,� said Ingram. “They couldn’t live up to the warranty. We just finally said that’s it. I’m

Creativity, passion earn English teacher award

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer LEXINGTON — Paul Piatkowski felt at home from the first moment he set foot in North Davidson High School.

Fresh out of Appalachian State University, Piatkowski came in 2004 to interview at North Davidson and a school in Kannapolis, and the Davidson County vibe just seemed to click. “I just felt good here,� said Piatkowski, affectionately called Mr. PK by students and staff alike. “I felt like there was an amount of freedom for me to become the teacher I wanted to be.�

Apparently that freedom allowed the English teacher to soar. After being runner-up in 2009, Piatkowski received the Davidson County Schools’

2010 Teacher of the Year award. “It was really kind of an overwhelming thing,� Piatkowski said. “Davidson County is a big county, but it seems kind of small. I feel like it’s close-knit, and to feel everyone sort of direct their attention at me was a little surreal.�

Piatkowski, who teaches 11thgrade honors English and senior English, began teaching at North Davidson in 2004. He graduated from Appalachian State University and is currently working on a master’s degree at UNC-Greensboro.

The Teacher of the Year award requires a number of steps. First, each school votes on one of its own staff members as school teacher of the year. That teacher then prepares a portfolio to be handed in to DCS over

Drive on with autonomy

BY MARILYN TAYLOR Guest Columnist Clearly Pink is seeing red when it comes to business as usual. Daniel Pink’s latest bestseller, DRIVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, is a clarion call for a new business operating system.

The chief assertion here is the centrality of intrinsic motivation.

Pink calls old-guard over-reliance on external rewards and motivation, “Motivation 2.0�

He believes it suffers from three problems: It doesn’t mesh with the way new business models are being organized.

It doesn’t go with the way 21st Century economics thinks about what we do. (i.e. – we are not single minded robots) It is hard to reconcile with what we actually do at work. (i.e. more of us are doing work that is creative, interesting and self-directed) The new business operating system is called Motivation 3.0 and heralds the TYPE I behavior described in last week’s

column. Pink argues for leaders to view workers as natural players, not tightly controlled pawns: â€œâ€Ś But today economic accomplishment, not to mention personal fulfillment, more often swings on a different hinge. It depends not on keeping our nature submerged but on allowing it to surface. It requires resisting the urge to control people – and instead doing everything we can to reawaken their deepseated sense of autonomy. This innate capacity for self direction is at the heart of Motivation 3.0 and Type I behavior.â€?

Three elements, according to Pink’s sources (Deci and Ryan), drive the Motivation 3.0 operating system: Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose. Each has its own chapter, essentials and advocates.

greater levels of psychological well-being.�

Empowerment and flex-time may be seen by many as enlightened management tools, but Pink tosses them out as out-dated and subtler forms of control. Even the notion of managing people at all is called into question. What then?

He calls for a ‘renaissance of self-direction.�

For that to work and TYPE I behavior to emerge, Pink asserts that people need autonomy over four things: their task, their time, their technique and their

team. He also admits that accountability must be in place, even in the most autonomous environments. Moreover, he believes that people want to be accountable for their time, task, technique and team; and that Motivation 3.0 just allows them to be.

Next week we’ll drive on through more provocative, Pinktinged philosophy.

Globally speaking, research is quoted that establishes a link between autonomy and overall well-being in parts of the world as diverse as Western Europe, South Korea and Bangladesh.

The Depot Once upon a time, though not so long ago, Thomasville’s old railway depot stood in glory.

A passenger depot built in 1870 and a major stop on the new North Carolina railroad, the little building served as a transition post for the rich folks traveling by train to visit the hunting lodge right across the street.

Years later, the depot still stands as one of North Carolinas oldest depots and, despite its age, still serves the people of Thomasville as a visitors center.

The foundation of the depot lies in the beginning of the railroad.

The idea for the North Carolina railroad began in the 1840s with the passage of a $3 million tax. N.C. Senator John W. Thomas, who represented the Thomasville area, started the town which became known as Thomasville along the proposed route of that railroad.

1870 on the opposite side of the railroad tracks as a passenger depot. In 1912, the building was moved to the side of the tracks on which the building currently stands, and served as a baggage and freight warehouse.

In fact, according to some accounts, Thomas traded a four-horse drawn wagon-load of bacon for 1,500 acres of land which would become a primary part of Thomasville. Thomas then built his own depot and a general store along the tracks, and the area became known as Thomas Depot before it was called Thomasville.

The ďŹ rst train passed through Thomasville on Jan. 20, 1856, and by 1860 Thomasville was a thriving city with 308 residents, a female seminary constructed

by Thomas and a shoe factory.

The depot now standing on Main Street was ďŹ rst built in

A major stop on the North Carolina railroad, the Thomasville Depot sent soldiers off to war and shipped furniture all across the country. During the Civil War in 1864, Gen. James Longstreets corps rode through the Chair City on the railroad to join Gen. Lees army in Virginia.

The depot eventually fell out of use when Thomasville ceased to be a railroad stop and was restored between 1975 and 1977 by the Thomasville Historical Society. In 1981, the building was added to the National Register of Historical Places as one of the oldest if not the oldest depot in North Carolina.

the summer. A seven-person selection committee narrows the applicants to five and conducts in-person interviews, which further reduces the competition to three finalists. Various committee members made inclass visits during the first week of the 2010-11 school year to finalize their decision. “I knew if I wanted to, I could make sure I had a special thing to do every day,� Piatkowski said of the classroom observations. “But I tried to not do that and just teach what I teach. That’s what they were looking for, anyway.�

And those classroom visits greatly contributed to Piatkowski coming out on top. DCS Superintendent Dr. Fred Mock, who visited the English teacher’s class himself, says he witnessed a passionate teacher who brought the subject to life for his students. “When I visited his classroom, his students told me in many different ways, ‘This is one of the finest teachers we’ve had in our high school experience,’� Mock said. “They are unabashed in crediting him with being invitational, with being exciting and with keeping them on the edge of their seat.�

This passion that Piatkowski emanates blossoms from a deep love for the subject he teaches. Always leaning toward his creative side — a painter, writer and poet in his spare time — the teacher found English struck a chord within. “I like it because it’s a very cerebral subject,� he said. “It is something that you have to expand out, and there’s no clear-cut answer to anything. I love history.

Math intrigues me. And science — I love science. But English, I think for me has worked the most because I like to push that thinking atmosphere.�

The teaching part came a little less naturally, but no less ardently for it. When he was a junior in high school, one of Piatkowski’s teachers showed the youngster just how much impact educators can have on their students’ lives. “I liked the idea that I could be that influence, that I could be that teacher who made somebody realize what possibilities lay within fiction and that strange abstraction that lay within literature,� Piatkowski said. “I wanted to be the one to open that door.�

And the teacher has grown into that role, progressing from the slightly nervous instructor his first semester to an inspirational leader his current one. One of the things Piatkowski brings to the classroom is a true, genuine interest in the subject he teaches — attested to not only by the students but by fellow English teacher and wife, Sarah. “He puts 100 percent into everything that he does,�

Sarah Piatkowski said. “He cares about the students.

He’s able to blend a high level of thinking with relating it to what the students are going through in their lives. Most teachers do one or the other, but he can do both at the same time.�

Despite all the compliments, however, Piatkowski sees the honor as an incentive to grow even more as a teacher. “You’re always trying to be better and you always know you can be better, so when someone puts you on a pedestal, you’re like, ‘But there are so many flaws that I have,’� Piatkowski said. “It really humbled me.

It made me realize that I do have all this, but that I should always try to be better and continue to improve. Now I have to live up to this.�

replacing that server and building a new one and we’re moving forward.

We’re not going to let it rest but we just had to make that jump. It has not been a happy time.�

Ingram said there was no way to monitor the problem as data coming into the server was being corrupted. The vendor told Ingram the chances of such a failure occurring was one in a million.

Ingram said he is in contact with a company that will provide offsite restoration, and system employees are now able to access their documents.

The e-mail issue is expected to be resolved by the end of the week. “It has been a horrible

headache,� Ingram said. “We’re conducting a lot of business over the phone now that we normally would be doing by e-mail.

I know that we’ve got a good solid e-mail backup now. Everything just sort of died. All of a sudden, there was just nothing.

This has not been one of my more pleasant experiences, but everyone has been great about it. It’s my job and my responsibility, and I’m going to get it fixed. I’ll make sure that if this problem happens again, we’ll have a

better fix.�

In other news: • TCS named its teachers of the year for 2010.

Thomasville Primary School’s Theresa Carr, Liberty Drive Elementary’s Angela Perry, Thomasville Middle School’s Ira Cumpton and Sabreen Mutawally from Thomasville High School were recognized as top educators from their respective schools. • Board members approved a revision to TCS’ student behavior policy that included guidelines

pertaining to the use of corporal punishment.

Students will not be subjected to the use of corporal punishment unless approval is given by a parent and the parent has to be present in the event it is used. Corporal punishment will not be given in the classroom in front of other students.

Only two students in TCS received a spanking last school year.

Assassinations done right VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I just wonder: If a president — any president — has the authority to order the assassination of a U.S. citizen without oversight, what exactly can’t a president do?

Now, as a matter of foreign policy, I am quite comfortable when Islamic extremists, militants and terrorists meet their atomized ends through the work of unmanned flying contraptions operated remotely by the U.S. government.

Then again, I can also unequivocally state that the thought of an American citizen’s name being placed on one of these terrorist hit lists without due process of law or any oversight is one that I find disconcerting.

My unease over the case of Anwar Awlaki — an American citizen penciled in for targeted assassination by the Obama administration — isn’t based on any conspiratorial daydreams about Barack Obama’s wanting to randomly knock off citizens. There is no doubt, in fact, that Awlaki is a despicable character, a member of radical Islamic networks, dangerous and deserving of a gruesome fate.

In other words, the administration has a straightforward case to make. Yet when Awlaki’s father asked a court to enjoin the president from killing his despicable son, the administration asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit without hearing the merits of the case by invoking “state secrets.”

With that, the Obama administration argued that the president should be empowered to order the execution of a U.S. citizen — outside a war zone and without exhibiting an imminent threat to other citizens — without any oversight from the judicial or legislative branch of government. And by using the protection-of-state-secrets argument, the administration is also asserting that the pub-

lic has no right to know why.

Granted, I am not a constitutional expert. I simply assumed that somewhere in the founding documents, it states that a citizen cannot be whacked without a trial.

If Awlaki is an enemy of the United States, a seditious and murderous traitor, there are legal avenues to make the case. As Kevin D. Williamson of National Review Online recently wrote, “the penalty for treason is not assassination without trial, and there is nothing in our Constitution or tradition to suggest that it is.”

Or the administration can make the case that Awlaki, because of his actions, is a danger to the nation and should be stripped of his U.S. citizenship. If the man deserves a drone strike, surely he doesn’t deserve his citizenship.

What do we know for sure about Awlaki? He’s a homegrown radical who likes to issue fatwas and probably recruits other Americans to the Dark Side. There has to be much more to his story.

Clearly, there are legitimate uses for state secrets during a time of war. But let’s face it; we are in perpetual war. If conservatives oppose the intrusive domestic policy of this administration, it defies logic for them not to question a unilateral decision that abuses state power — even if the decision is helpful in a cause they deeply believe in. Does the cause of national security overpower any concern?

As for liberals, it seems that once Barack Obama ascended to the presidency, the urgent need to protect our “civil rights” from the Hitlerish previous president lost a lot of steam. This administration has done virtually nothing to change the way we do business.

Should Awlaki meet a martyr’s end on a battlefield or during the weekly meeting of evil terrorist masterminds in a grotto in Yemen, it would be nothing less than a victory for humankind.

But that’s not the issue.

JAMRS VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist The government sent my son a $2 bill. And they promised him another $5 if he would spend 15 minutes filling out a survey.

If you ask me, they should spend the money on young men and women with untreated Traumatic Brain Injuries.

The envelope said JAMRS. I thought it must be some engineering school we’d never heard of. My son is a senior in high school. He scored at the very top on all the math tests and checked engineering as his interest.

He gets more mail than you could imagine. My daughter did equally well in English, but never got this kind of mail. Now that he’s narrowed down his choices, most of it gets tossed.

JAMRS? I looked at both sides of the envelope. No explanation. When he opened it, the $2 bill fell out. Forget about a penny for your thoughts.

The survey was a dead giveaway. Had he considered a career in the military? Did he come from an area with high unemployment? Was he concerned about the cost

of a higher education? Was he worried about his job prospects? What would his parents say if he told them he was interested in the military? If he were interested, which branch would it be?

Me, I kept looking to see who JAMRS was. They never said. Not on the front, not on the letter to give to your parents if you were under 18, nowhere.

It all rubbed me wrong.

The government doesn’t need to pay my son $7 for his opinion. Frankly, they can’t afford to.

They don’t need to ask him what I think. I’ll tell them. For free.

When I got to my computer and Googled JAMRS, I learned that it was the “Joint Advertising Market Research and Studies.” But of course.

How about some English and some honesty here? If you want kids to put their lives on the line, tell them who you are.

JAMRS “conducts marketing efforts — under the Today’s Military brand — to enhance and extend the individual Services’ communications efforts with a variety of branding and advertising initiatives.”

The “Today’s Military brand”? Is serving your country a brand? Do we need branding initiatives to “market” service? Are these people trying to turn us off, or is it just by accident?

I have nothing but respect for young people who choose to serve in the military. In my experience, it’s a choice that is certainly affected by economic conditions and educational opportunities

(the primary subject of the survey). But at its core — and the reason I respect it so much — it’s a choice to serve this country. It’s about patriotism and love of country.

Why is it being “sold” behind an unknowable acronym for an organization that makes it sound like what’s involved is a choice between soaps or cereals?

Where is the dignity in paying kids seven bucks to check off some answers?

Where is the pride, the respect?

If the Department of Defense has cash to burn in sending out who knows how many $2 bills to young people, why not spend it taking care of the young people who already said yes and came home suffering serious long-term injuries that, according to media reports, are going undiagnosed and untreated? If the JAMRS folks want to enhance the conversation with parents about service, which is what their website says, why not do so by promising to treat our kids as the precious and irreplaceable lights of our lives that they are?

On the other hand, if they think they’re better off hiding behind some marketing acronym, not to mention throwing cash money around, then all the branding in the world won’t help our military fulfill its mission.

JAMRS? No thanks.

From page 1 are decreasing. It is much more difficult to make ends meet.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, the city, thanks to budget cuts and having to replace a truck unexpectedly, was unable to do any repaving projects. In 2010, however, Thomasville has shelled out almost $450,000 for repaving more than 20 city streets, which is a substantial increase from a normal year, Craver said. The city also tries to keep about a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of funds in reserve in the event of a disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We typically do around $250,000 a year,â&#x20AC;? Craver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our street department grades our streets and ranks them in priority. We have paid outside firms to do so but it also seemed a shame to have somebody come in and grade our streets when we can use that money to do work. Our street staff sees our streets on a day-today basis and they grade them based on priority.â&#x20AC;?

Powell Fund are dispersed based on a citysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; miles of streets maintained and population. Many of Thomasvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main arteries, such as National Highway, Randolph Street, Julian Avenue and Fisher Ferry Street are the North Carolina DOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. Ferndale Drive, however, falls on the city and is one of the remaining roads undergoing repaving. Craver said the city usually starts its repaving projects near the end of summer towards early fall, and Powell Bill funds usually come in at the end of October.

Sports Editor Could the Central Davidson Spartans hand the Thomasville Bulldogs their first loss of the season Friday in the Central Carolina Conference opener? If last week is any indication, it could be rather interesting.

Fresh off its 42-14 flogging of Ledford, Central enters the contest with a 5-1 record and plenty of reason to believe they can be giantkillers and hand THS a rare loss in league play.

But the well-rested Bulldogs might have something to say about that. Thomasville had a bye last week, meaning they’ve had extra time to heal and fine-tune some things on both sides of the ball.

“We got to rest up some and worked on some things to get better — hopefully,” said assistant coach Dickie Cline.

Central zipped up and down the field against the hapless Panthers in Southmont last Friday, using a

variety of backs out of its Wing-T formation. I’Tik Barnes headlines the group. He changes directions with ease and can accelerate through a hole before the defense has time to react. The Spartans also have Josh Wright with a good amount of speed and Saig Skeen, who is more of a grind-it-out type of runner.

CDHS passed the ball very few times against Ledford, though that may have been a result of their dominance in the ground game.

“The Wing-T offense is something you do not see all the time and they do a great job of running it,” said Cline. “There are multiple formations with it and we need to make sure we get lined up correctly and play disciplined football. They have several good running backs and they are big up front, so it will definitely be a challenge.”

If any team can handle an offense like Central’s, it is the Bulldogs. Through its six games, the defense

Duke gets a break from action to regroup Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Still absorbing another difficult loss Saturday night at Maryland’s Byrd Stadium, the Duke Blue Devils had a different look.

Maryland’s 21-16 victory, coming on the heels of lopsided home losses to top-ranked Alabama (62-13) and Army (35-21) the previous two weeks, altered the Blue Devils’ mood in their locker room.

“It was pretty ugly after Alabama and Army,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said Sunday. “They were spent emotionally and physically but not truely down. “[Saturday night] they were frustrated. They knew they had played well enough to win except for a few plays.”

After being outplayed in the Alabama and Army losses, the Blue Devils improved in several areas against Maryland. Duke had 399 yards of total offense to Maryland’s 294, and the Blue Devils gained 21 first downs to Maryland’s 14.

But Duke turned the ball over twice, allowed Maryland’s Tony Logan to return a punt 84 yards for a thirdquarter touchdown and managed one touchdown and

The end result was a straight set win by the East Davidson Golden Eagles over Thomasville on Tuesday in a Central Carolina Conference contest, but the match was much closer than what the scoreboard may have read.

THS (3-5, 1-4) is no longer just an easy game on the schedule, and EDHS coach Kim Warrick can agree with that. Thomasville gave East fits for two games, but the Eagles wound up winning by a 25-20, 25-20, 25-11 score.

“They attack the net and I told my team this would not be a walk in the park,” said Warrick.

“Thomasville is a good team and I did not underestimate them one bit.”

East (5-13, 5-2) never trailed in a close first set, but found themselves in a heap of trouble to begin the second game.

Thomasville got Shanice Ray the ball at the net on three separate occa-

Central Davidson Spartans @ Thomasville Bulldogs 7:30 p.m.

Some losses are tougher than others.

For Ledford Panthers coach Chris Adams, Friday’s 4 2 - 1 4 setback to Central Davidson – where he most recently s p e n t Adams t w o years as assistant principal – was a bitter pill to swallow.

Four days removed from the loss, his team is attempting to recover from the lopsided contest in time for Mid-Piedmont 3-A Conference play to begin Friday at home versus North Forsyth (1-5). Still, Adams had nothing but praise for Central in light of its fifth win coming at the expense of his Panthers.

“We ran into a really good football team,” Adams said. “They played really well and we didn’t match their effort on offense or defense. This is a good year for them.”

The year 2010 has been unkind to the Panthers (2-4) thus far after a brutal non-conference schedule has left them with mixed results. A pair of wins and an overtime loss to West Davidson stand as reason for optimism, while three blowout losses to Southwest Guilford, North and Central Davidson give pause. Regardless, the six previous contests will soon matter little.

“We start a new season on Friday night,” Adams said. “We’ve been reiterating that all week to the kids. We wanted a better record, but if we get on a roll, no one will be talking about what we did in the nonconference.”

The first opportunity for the Panthers to escape the season’s first half doldrums comes this week against a fiveloss Vikings team.

“Their record is deceiving. They’ve played a really tough non-conference schedule,” Adams said. “We’re going to have to play really well, get back to running the ball and picking up first downs. That was probably my biggest disappointment from Friday night – we just didn’t move the football at all.”

As with any given Friday night, Ledford has

Speaking of pretty good, the Thomasville offense is really started to pile up yardage. Tailback Quin Riley will be in pursuit of 1,000-yards rushing for the season Friday at Cushwa Stadium. Early in the year he had to fight for yardage

GENERAL Concealed handgun class There will be a concealed handgun class Oct. 23 at the Fairgrove Fire Department. The class is from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. This class is mandatory for anyone wishing to get a concealed handgun permit. The class is covered by Jason Livingston, N.C. certified firearms instructor and 16 years law enforcement experience. The class covers laws for citizens governing the use of deadly force to protect their homes, as well as deadly force laws in general as they pertain to citizens of N.C. Also, gun safety, marksmanship and fundamentals are covered and practiced during the class, with hands on range time.

To sign up for the class call Livingston at 687-0290.

while the offensive line was busy trying to learn each other and become a cohesive unit, but now everyone appears to be on the same page. That is not good news for the CCC teams that must deal with them on a weekly basis.

“The second half of the Kannapolis game is when the offensive line really started making strides,” said Cline, who also serves as the offensive coordinator. “That was pretty much a whole new unit working together, plus an offensive line is probably one of the last things that comes together on a football team.

We have improved each week and they have gotten more physical. Our style is to be a physical team and they have got to be physical.”

If Central can make something happen early and put Thomasville in trouble, they may stand a chance. Thomasville has found itself behind before this year, so they know how to keep their composure and battle back. In the event that THS can get rolling early, the Spartans may find themselves in the exact position they had Ledford in a week ago.

Mysterious Migration

Monarchs Rule!

Every fall, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies fly thousands of miles to their winter homes in California and Mexico. No other butterfly migrates this way, flying back and forth like birds do.

It is a mystery how the butterflies know where to go each year. Other butterflies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach the monarchs where to fly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every monarch for itself.

This is very unusual. Most other migratory animals learn where to go from an older animal.

The Mini Page talked to monarch experts to learn more about this amazing and beautiful insect.

Monarchs need a lot of food so they can make their long journey. They find food in the nectar, or sweet liquid, of flowers.

Like their tropical ancestors, modern monarchs cannot survive the cold. Each fall, North American monarchs must fly to warmer climates.

Most monarchs spend the winter in one special area in the Mexican mountains, the oyamel (oh-yah-MEL) fir forests. The branches provide a protective covering that helps keep the monarchs from getting too hot or cold.

The shape of the branches and needles allows thousands of butterflies to cluster together for protection.

Monarchs in the far north begin migrating in early August. The closer to Mexico they are, the later they take off. Monarchs begin arriving in their winter refuges in late October.

Tens of thousands of monarchs might spend the night on one single oyamel fir tree in Mexico. This helps them stay warm.

Flying to warmth

Migration When animals migrate (MY-grate), they move from one area to another during certain times of the year. Then they move back to their original homes when the seasons change.

This travel can help them find food or survive temperature changes.

Monarchs from the East and Midwest fly to Mexico each fall. Monarchs from the West winter in California.

Finding their way

Many tropical butterflies can fly long distances. But none of them can fly as far as the monarch. It can fly as far as 2,000 miles on its journey to Mexico.

The monarch also flies higher than any other large insect on the planet.

It can fly up to 10,000 feet above the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface.

(UNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF monarchs could be flying overhead, and we might not even see them because they are so high above us.

No one knows how monarchs navigate, or figure out the right DIRECTION (OW DO THEY FIND THEIR way to a place theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been to before?

Their parents and grandparents were born during the journey back north and have never seen the winter refuge. Their greatgrandparents have already died.

Monarchs seem to be able to figure out where they are from anywhere on the planet. Somehow, they gain information from their surroundings.

Sometimes monarchs are forced off their route. Storms might blow them hundreds of miles away. But they can still figure out how to get back on course.

Experts think monarchs may be checking the position of the sun.

Maybe monarchs are able to detect levels of blue and ultraviolet light.

Maybe they can sense the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnetic field. No one really knows.

Monarchs ride up into the atmosphere on thermals. A thermal is like a current of hot air rising above the Earth. Monarchs soar up in the thermals the same way birds such as hawks do.

The monarchs then glide out on the wind toward their destination.

Monarchs feed on a saltbush at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.

Thousands of monarchs from the East Coast rest at the refuge before continuing on to Mexico.

Saving energy Gliding allows monarchs to fly for two to three months. They need to flap their wings only about every 20 to 30 feet, saving wear on their wings.

The Life of a Monarch Not all monarchs will ever see a winter refuge. Most of the monarchs that fly south in the fall are the great-grandchildren of the butterflies that flew south the year before.

The adult monarchs that spend the winter in Mexico can live nine months.

Experts believe this is the longest life span of any adult butterflies.

(OWEVER THEY DON T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO show their children how to reach their winter homes.

People are destroying milkweed plants by mowing them or spraying herbicides. They want land for crops or buildings.

Poor people in Mexico are cutting down the oyamel fir trees for firewood and building materials. The forests are disappearing.

If the monarch loses its only host plant and its main winter home, it will be in serious trouble. People in Canada, the United States and Mexico are joining together to protect monarch habitats.

Millions of monarchs migrate to the oyamel forests in Mexico each fall.

Metamorphosis

protecting the changing insect 4. The adult.

About a month after leaving their winter homes, monarch females begin laying eggs.

Adult butterflies growing up from these eggs have much shorter lives than their parents. They live only about one month. The only group of monarch butterflies that can live nine months are those that will be migrating thousands of miles.

The important milkweed The only thing monarch larvae can eat is milkweed. The females lay their eggs on these plants.

Milkweeds have a substance in them that is poisonous to most birds.

It hurts monarchs just a little.

When monarch larvae eat the milkweed, this substance becomes part of the butterflyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. If a A monarch caterpillar dines on a milkweed pod. bird eats a monarch, the bird becomes so sick it throws up. The next time the bird sees a monarch, it knows not to eat it.

This is one of the reasons monarchs can fly higher than other big insects. Most birds flying that high leave the monarchs alone, but they gobble up other insects.

12 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, October 7, 2010

SPORTS BREAK From page 7 three field goals on five trips inside the Terrapins 20.

Duke also helped Maryland score its first touchdown by committing a roughing-the-passer penalty on an incomplete pass on third down.

Maryland’s final touchdown came as a result of a missed tackle on a 71yard touchdown catchand-run by Da’Rel Scott.

“After looking at tape, it was frustrating to watch,” Cutcliffe said.

“We’re doing so many things better. It was just breakdowns on a couple of turnovers, a couple of plays defensively, a timely penalty. ...”

Duke’s defense played its best game of the season despite being short-handed because of injuries. Linebackers Damian Thornton (leg), Adam Banks (leg), cornerback Johnny Williams (head), safety Taylor Sowell and defensive tackle Tevin Hood (foot) all missed the game.

The offense played without starting tight end Brett Huffman (leg) for the third consecutive game, and fullback Patrick Kurunwune injured his ankle Saturday night.

The open week allows time for those wounds to heal. Cutcliffe anticipates most of the injured players to have healed by this time next week.

“We’ll be better when Miami practice week rolls around,” Cutcliffe said.

The Blue Devils did not practice Sunday and have today off, as usual.

The team will practice Tuesday, Wednesday and

FIGHT From page 7 little bit,” said Warrick.

“I went out there and put a consequence with it, and as soon as I threw that out there we came back and tied it.”

The game went back and forth over the next few points and remained tied at 16-16, but a service point by Brooke Bame broke the final tie.

East grabbed the next four points to lead 21-16, and Taylor Alexander knocked down a shot for the final point moments later.

Thomasville was never the same in the final game, falling behind by six early and watching it slip away from then on.

“The girls work really well together, but once they start to see signs of trouble, they stop working well together,” said THS coach Amber Gray.

“We just stopped talking to each other and just fell apart. We have come a long way this season, but I think they can go further.”

With a big match against Central Davidson scheduled for today that could go a long way in determining the No. 2 spot in the CCC behind West Davidson, Warrick was thrilled to see improvement.

“We are getting better,” she said. “We have had long discussions and talked about letting your teammates do their job and to stop trying to do everybody’s job. Today is probably the best I have seen them do their jobs together.”

Alexander finished with seven kills and Chelsea Turner hammered down six for East.

Thursday mornings before getting Friday and Saturday off for the only time this season.

“This particular team has just got to take it little bits at a time,” Cutcliffe said. “We’ll certainly will be looking at specific things, certainly make adjustments here and there to improve our team.

“We’ve got a lot of getting better to do and will work just as we did last week when we had good practices every day.”

the opportunity to erase lingering memories from the week past, as it says goodbye to Davidson County opponents.

East @ Lexington They were allowed two weeks to mull over the loss to Ledford. Now the Golden Eagles of East Davidson must face the music, or in this case, the

talented opponents. The Yellow Jackets (3-3) begin the season-ending slate of games and enter Friday’s contest with a setback of their own.

Lexington’s offense is smarting after being held to less than 150 yards of total offense in last week’s loss to T.W. Andrews and will undoubtedly be motivated to bounce back from its recent struggles.

Despite the uninspiring record, the Yellow Jackets are just a season removed from a surprise run to the

semifinals of the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs.

They retain several key pieces from last year’s exciting offense that upset Thomasville, including quarterback Al Challenger and tailback MarQuez Grayson. The Golden Eagles will have their work cut out for them over the next two weeks, as the undefeated Bulldogs follow Lexington on the schedule.

On deck are Central and West Davidson, followed

by Salisbury.
