City seeks funds to upgrade sewer lines

TCS prepares for ﬂu season BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

With flu season almost in full swing, Thomasville City Schools Board brought in a local expert to try and set the record straight Tuesday night at its monthly meeting. Layton Long, Director of the Davidson County Health Department, told board members that this is an unusual year in terms of the flu season due to the fact there are two strands to worry about — seasonal and the H1N1 virus. Long said H1N1 is a new

or surfaces. Symptoms are fever, cough, headache, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, runny nose, vomiting and diarrhea. What makes H1N1 different from seasonal flu is the fact it affects people ages 524 and the numbers drop the older a person is. “This virus is unusual,” said Long. “Normally every flu season we gear our vaccination programs towards the older folks because they tend to have the more severe symptoms. As you get further out in years, there’s some resistance

virus that started affecting people in the spring and never really went away, and is different from seasonal flu. “It is the flu,” Long said of H1N1. “It’s not something that is necessarily worse than seasonal flu in terms of symptoms but it is the flu. Normally we see very little flu activity in April, but as the summer months progressed we saw more and more cases, which is atypical with what you see with the flu.” Just like a normal flu strand, H1N1 spreads person-to-person and through contaminated hands

PINT-SIZED PUMPKIN Jerry Tedder of Thomasville finds his perfect size pumpkin Saturday at Memorial United Methodist Church on Randolph Street. The church will be selling pumpkins daily through the end of October.

City Manager Kelly Craver said he is looking into whether or not Thomasville can get its hands on any stimulus money to upgrade aging sewer lines in the wake of this summer’s 15.93 million gallon wastewater spill into Hamby Creek. One obstacle in the city’s Craver way, however, may be its place in line for funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Since April, Gov. Bev Perdue has announced more than $90 million of ARRA awards for drinking water, stormwater and wastewater projects across the state. Craver hopes the city isn’t too late. “I expect we may be behind the curve but I hope not,” Craver said. “That’s my biggest worry about finding any Recovery Act money is there are so many folks in line in front of us. We’re not going to leave any stone unturned to try and find money for this.” Even with ARRA money

floating around, Craver feels the best way the city can get money for any sewer projects is through the state. Craver said he is trying to find grant money from the state, but added that he isn’t even sure just how much any sewer line renovation project would cost until engineers are able to give the city a proper estimate. “This doesn’t need to be guess work,” said Craver. “Our fastest source of funds will be through the state. There have been a lot of water projects pitched for the stimulus money. We going to try and find grants for this so we can not have any more dramatic effect on the rate payers.” Thomasville has taken a lot of heat recently for how it handled the summer spill, but aging sewer lines are a problem many municipalities face. Morgan Huffman, Thomasville’s director of public services, points to Atlanta as a prime example of a city that had similar problems earlier in the decade. A massive sewage spill in Atlanta resulted in the city being hit with a $7.3 million lawsuit in 2003. Earlier this year, High Point was awarded

Bicycle track to keep BCH kids active BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

Residents of Baptist Children’s Homes Mills Home will soon be able to take a thrilling ride on a mountain bike track without ever leaving the campus. Kevin Kiser, a residential caregiver with the organization, has merged his passions for cycling and children to help bring the new outdoor activity to Mills Home. “The heart of it is a pump track, which is a really specific way of riding a mountain bike,” Kiser said. “You just use gravitational force to sort of lift on the face of bumps, and then push down on the back side of bumps to push yourself along. It’s just this really fastpaced type of riding, and it’s so

It serves

14 communities across the state, including Thomasville with Mills Home. “The whole project got started while [my wife and I] were working there, just looking for a positive outlet for residents to blow off some steam and pick up a new skill,” Kiser said. “Cycling in general is just a great lifetime sport, and it exposes you to a lot of really good people.” Also included in the park would be an area where people could learn how to ride a bike, as well as some balance obstacles. A storage shed will serve as a repair shop, where one of the residents could fix bicycles as an on-campus job. The bike track filled the need for

Workshop of Davidson marks 45 years of service TIMES STAFF REPORT

The Workshop of Davidson, Inc., founded in 1964, noted 45 years of service to the community at its annual meeting on Sept. 30, 2009. Forty people attended the business session at the facility on Monroe Road in Lexington. President Seth Miller, referring to the continuing difficult economic conditions stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When times get tough, the tough get tougher.â&#x20AC;? Miller spoke of disheartening but necessary decisions this past year to insure the longevity of the organization. Among the decisions were the closing of the food service operation after 36 years of providing meals, employment and training to consumers. Miller shared a history of changes made over many years that has allowed The Workshop to be successful. Miller, a Lexington pharmacist who first served as president in 1989, was elected to his 21st consecutive term. Bill Lineberry was elected as vice-president succeeding Dr. Susan Allen, both of Denton. Joe Bennett, Mayor of Thomasville, was re-elected for a ninth term as treasurer, having served since April 2001. Nancy Martin of Thomasville will serve a fourth term as secretary. Re-elected the Board of Directors with terms expiring in 2012 are Miller, and Bennett as well as Larry Beck, David Clifton and Donald Lanning, all of Lexington. Directors continuing with terms expiring in the year 2011 are Lineberry, Doug Craver of Welcome, Zeb Hanner of Thomasville, Doris Lopp of Silver Valley and Doug Meredith of Welcome. Continuing on the Board with terms expiring in the year 2010 are Martin, Dr. Susan Allen of Denton and Lexington residents Patricia Ellison, Curtis Leonard and Irene Vaughan-Lloyd. A By-Laws amendment was ratified relating to attendance of meetings by Directors. Workshop Administrator Carrol D. Gantt reported that 2008-09 was difficult with much downtime for consumers due to lack of work.. He expressed optimism about opportunities for new contracts in the coming year. Gantt began employment with The Workshop February 10, 1966. The community employment services program also struggled during the year. Work Adjustment

and Supported Employment Job Coaches had 12 successful community employment outcomes. The coaches assisted 38 people, placing 13 in competitive employment. Six employers provided new opportunities during the past 12 months. They included a manufacturer, retail stores, a college and a service business. Employers were AMT of Thomasville, Inc., Davidson County Community College, Dollar General in Tyro, Food Lion in Wallburg and from Lexington Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Improvement and Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Car Wash. Long term follow-up employment services were provided to 22 individuals and their employers. Production revenue from contract sales and services provided to businesses during the 2008-09 fiscal year dropped to 21% of the total income from regular operations. Services provided include small parts assembly, sorting, gluing, folding, labeling, packaging, heat sealing and shrink-wrapping. The State of North Carolina through Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare provides the majority of funding. Federal and other state funding comes through the Division of Mental Health, Vocational Rehabilitation Services of the North Carolina Department of Human Services. The Workshop renewed it two-year preferred provider status from Piedmont Behavior Healthcare through a performance survey. They successfully completed a review by the North Carolina Department of Facility Services and all state licenses have been renewed. The organization awaits the results of a recent onsite visit in August by a CARF review team from Florida and Minnesota. The Commission of Accreditation Rehabilitation Facilities currently accredits six employment services programs at The Workshop Three community employment services programs accredited are job development, job-site training and job support. Other accredited services programs are comprehensive vocational evaluation, employee development and organizational employment. The last accreditation review was in 2006. Davidson County Com-

Dell announces closing of Winston-Salem plant are sound public policy.” In response to Wednesday’s announcement, Orr remarked, “While strongly opposing the Dell incentives deal since it was announced, all of us regret the loss of the Dell plant here in North Carolina and the impact that loss will have on the Winston-Salem community and the Dell employees and local suppliers. “The closing, however, provides a stark and painful example of the folly of the incentives game engaged in by our state and local governments. No matter how big the incentive package, operational decisions by businesses headquartered out-of-state will be driven by corporate financial considerations and not by any sense of loyalty to the community being left behind. To the extent North Carolina state government and local governments feel compelled

TIMES STAFF REPORT

Dell announced Wednesday it will close its Winston-Salem computer manufacturing plant early next year, affecting 905 employees. Six hundred employee will be released next month, with the remainder being released within the next three months. According to the news release from Dell, the closure is expected to be completed quickly, with doors shutting within the next three months. Frank Miller, vice president, Public Business Unit Supply Chain, said, “This is a difficult decision, especially for our North Carolina colleagues, but a necessary one for Dell customers and our company. The efforts of our team members there have been significant and we’re committed to helping them through their transition. Of course, we’ll continue to honor all agreements with North Carolina, Forsyth County and Winston-Salem.” Affected employees will receive competitive severance packages, including severance pay, incentive payments, benefits con-

Officials at Dell said the company will continue to fully comply with the terms of incentive agreements with the citizens of North Carolina. Justice Robert F. Orr, Executive Director of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law, was lead counsel in a lawsuit filed in 2005 on behalf of seven individual plaintiffs who questioned the consti-

tutionality of the incentives granted to Dell. The lawsuit alleged that the State legislation and local resolutions passed by the Winston-Salem City Council and the Forsyth County Commission providing Dell with tax credits and other grants or subsidies violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, as well as various sections of the N.C. Constitution. The total incentives handout to Dell totaled approximate-

ly $279 million. The lawsuit went to the N.C. Court of Appeals which determined in October of 2007 that “To the extent plaintiffs question the wisdom of the incentives and whether they will in fact provide the public benefit promised, they have sought relief in the wrong forum ... it [is] the role of the General Assembly and the Executive Branch — and not the courts — to determine whether such incentives

to invest in businesses through the use of incentives, those investments should be in smaller, local businesses and not in multi-billion dollar interstate and international businesses.” Dell’s global manufacturing and fulfillment network consists of company-owned plants located in Hortolandia, Brazil; Miami, Fla.; Nashville, Tenn. and Austin, Texas, as well as Limerick, Ireland; Lodz, Poland. AsiaPacific: Xiamen, China; Penang, Malaysia and Chennai, India. In January and June 2009, respectively, the company announced the migration of its Irelandbased manufacturing operation to its Poland plant and sale of its Tennessee remanufacturing operation to GENCO. The company also partners with third-party manufacturers to build certain products.

For the last couple weeks we’ve shared tips and tactics to use in becoming more Emotionally Intelligent. We’ve talked a lot about self awareness, identifying it as the first pillar of EQ. Adding a second pillar, we moved on to self management, that set of attitudes and skills that prepare us to do take the right step in the moment, while looking beyond it. Now its time to press on — this time further out — more outward bound. Emotional Intelligence 2.0 calls the third pillar Social Awareness. This is so NOT just being friendly or ‘sucking up’ to people. In fact, manipulative behaviors designed to increase popularity or make you look good to others oppose the most basic premise of social awareness. With social awareness, it’s not about you. Really. According to authors Bradberry and Greaves, social awareness is centered on your ability to recognize and understand the emotions of others. It is tuning in to the emotions of others (often while tuning down the volume on your own) as you interact with them. It requires that we be fully present, open to the person and experience before us. For some, it can be terrifying. Obviously the ability to relate to and understand emotions in and of themselves is a pre-

send. An important part of communication is reducing the barrier that divide us — and the social awareness skill set can aid us in establishing rapport and putting others at ease in our presence. How do you get good at this? “One can only attend to so much”, Emotional Intelligence 2.0 asserts, and I wholeheartedly agree. To aid in that process, they offer strategies to get us started.

requisite to this skill. f a person cannot name and manage emotions within himself, then the perspective he takes with others will reflect that. You might say such a person views others with eyeglasses that distort rather than clarify. This is one of the reasons why self awareness is so important. Being self aware allows us to enter more fully and fairly into dialog with others. To see them for who they really are. Our senses can help us here, as we use our eyes and ears to pick up important body language cues.

The power of prayers VIEWPOINT

MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist These past two weeks I made sure that every person of faith within my reach added me to their prayer list as I faced surgery with Dr. Jeffrey Wayne at Northwestern in Chicago to remove melanoma. My personal belief system stands on the foundation that intercessory prayers, or prayers given on behalf of others, work. Western medicine agrees with me. A comprehensive analysis of 17 major studies on the outcome of intercessory prayer was conducted in 2007 by David R. Hodge, an assistant professor of social work in the College of Human Services at Arizona State University. His was the first to pull different studies together, which made a different picture. There have been previous individual studies, such as the one at Duke University that have shown no results at all. Others have shown great results but Hodge was the first to put them together like a puzzle and see that the balance tips over toward the effectiveness of prayers. The most interesting piece of all of this though is that there is a clinical study trying to see behind the curtain and take a better look at miracles. Prayer is done on a basis of faith, which is built on what can’t be seen and generally requires us to go first. In other words, ask and you shall receive. But those of us who are doing the asking do so with an open heart. This is where it could get confusing for someone new to the kneeling. Prayers are meant to be an awareness that some guidance and bigger help is needed, followed by a request for help. Not pleading or begging or an insistence about how it’s going to look or when it’ll arrive. That last part is where a lot of people get stuck. Somewhere along the way prayers came to be seen like fast food orders. You said what you wanted into the talking box and then drove around to instantaneously get exactly what you ordered. That’s

often what gets people riled up because so many prayers seem to go unanswered. Well, it doesn’t work that way. There’s one other key ingredient to mix in with prayer and that’s willingness and that may be what’s making the difference between a study of prayer that’s successful or not. Willingness means that we ask for help knowing that much may be required and it may not look like what was expected and a lot of change is probably on our horizons. In other words, let go of the outcome, which is the future and do the next right thing in front of you. That sounds so obvious but all too often people pray and then fret about the prayer. In other words, they take it back very shortly after offering it up. Hand the prayers over and then leave them there. Do that as often as needed in recognition that we’re not in charge of the outcome and we’re going forward anyway. In my own case, the blessings have been an enormous outpouring of love, including Nurse Lenora before surgery and MaryAnn in the financial office, both of whom offered up prayers. As I was being wheeled down that hall I could feel all of those people taking time out of their day, again and again, to ask for assistance from something bigger than ourselves, on my behalf. Dr. Wayne and his team did a great job and surgery went better than expected with no skin graft and a cane instead of crutches with very little pain afterwards. All very good stuff. There are more tests to do and more prayers are going out there on my behalf, for which I am very grateful. Even Nurse Jennifer has answered my long list of questions, which has provided comfort along the way. So, take time today to offer up gratitude or remorse or whatever has become too big to carry and do it over and over again if necessary. No need to clean it up so that it might be better received, either. This isn’t a contest where you might be seen as lacking. Prayer is one time when it’s okay to say whatever is on your heart and then let it go to work, unseen in front of you.

Chicago wins by losing VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Abraham Lincoln was once asked how he liked being president. Bedeviled by secession and war, he recalled a story about a man who, when tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail, commented that “if it was not for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk.” Chicago didn’t get the honor of hosting the 2016 Olympic Games, but it should be grateful. Athletes who make the games face the challenge of outdoing talented peers from all over the world. Cities that host the games face the challenge of putting on a massive and highly visible two-week extravaganza without spending themselves into the poor house. That’s why plenty of locals had serious reservations about the whole thing. While the Chicago 2016 committee brandished a poll showing that 72 percent of locals supported the bid, a Chicago Tribune/WGN poll put the number at only 47 percent. Here, as elsewhere, public opinion does not always matter. When the mayor and assorted corporations and interest groups line up behind something, even a grandiose vanity project, it’s a good bet they will prevail over petty malcontents. Mayor

Richard M. Daley is accustomed to getting his own way, even if it means calling out bulldozers in the middle of the night to wreck a city airport the federal government refused to let him close. In this case, the big boys did prevail, rolling over local objections to be among the four finalists in Copenhagen. They just couldn’t prevail over powerful interests in other countries. For Daley — who has been in office for two decades but whose popularity has eroded due to scandals and flights of arrogance — the shocking first-round eviction was a rare humbling moment, which might be good for him. The outcome did not cast a flattering light on President Obama’s decision to jet to Denmark to personally lobby the International Olympic Committee, which knowit-alls back home took as proof that everything was wired for his home city. Conservatives crowed that the defeat showed global disdain for a president who was supposed to win over the world. But it could just as well reflect residual distrust sown by his predecessor. It did, however, confirm that Obama should have stayed home and focused on issues that have something to do with his job, instead of inviting a small group of foreigners to hand him his hindquarters on a platter. But for Chicago, the rejection is a blessing in disguise. Winning the bid makes for a nice celebration, like the one on Copacabana beach Friday. But the pleasure of that pales next to the hangover that follows the actual event. Getting the games means a city sacrifices considerable control over its financial future. If your vacation turns out to be more expen-

sive than you planned, you can always cut it short and go home. But if the Olympics run over budget, you don’t have the option of bailing out. You spend what you have to spend, whether you have the funds or not. Olympics do run over budget, as a rule. Montreal, which hosted the 1976 summer games, just paid off the last bills in 2006. Athens, the 2004 site, spent three times as much as it had planned. The 2012 summer games are still three years away and yet London’s obligation has already quadrupled, to $15 billion. The former head of the agency set up to handle construction for the London Olympics says that before they are done, the cost may reach $40 billion. That’s as much as was spent in Beijing, whose Communist form of government allowed it to dispense with fiscal sanity. The residents of Chicago and the surrounding area no longer face the prospect of being hostages to fortune. They don’t have to order city plans around an event that would be over in a flash. They don’t have to endure the congestion and inconveniences that the games bring. Most important, they don’t have to fear that they and their children will have to bear a lot of unforeseen costs. It’s no fun to get jilted in front of the world. But the only thing worse than losing an Olympics bid is winning one. Steve Chapman blogs daily at newsblogs.chicagotribune. com/steve_chapman.

FROM PAGE 1 FUNDS From page 1 $1.798 million from the ARRA to replace obsolete sewer lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say pretty much the entire East Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure is in need of some work,â&#x20AC;? Huffman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are lines that are in the ground that are probably pre-1950. I would think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great investment.â&#x20AC;? Thomasville has already pumped more than $27 million into the

Hamby Creek facility, but more money is needed for its underground pipes. In the past five years, the city has paid more than $300,000 for Clean Water Act penalties, including last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $35,116 fine from the Division of Water Quality. The city also has had violations in 11 of 12 quarters through March, 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of this infrastructure is older,â&#x20AC;? Craver said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a Thomasville problem. Nearly every city has older water and sewer lines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fact.â&#x20AC;?

FLU From page 1 from historical H1N1.â&#x20AC;? While city schools have yet to be hit with mass absenteeism, Long said the board should be prepared for such an event. Students and faculty who contract the flu are being told to stay home while they are sick for at least 24 hours after any fever is gone. Preventive measures include washing hands regularly and avoiding contact with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose, eyes and mouth. Both flu strands are very contagious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not hearing of any excessive absenteeism at this point,â&#x20AC;? Long said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can expect some. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there.â&#x20AC;? Vaccinations for both strands are becoming available. Liberty Drive Elementary held a flu clinic last week and Thomasville Primary School will be having one on Monday where students can receive a vaccination. There is not a universal flu vaccine, however, and people wanting to get completely vaccinated will need two separate shots. Kim Frank, the health departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of nursing, said plans are in the works to get all 32 elementary schools in the county vaccinated within the next few

BAND From page 1 let Regiment will perform an exhibition show at the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be an opportunity for the community to see other high-stepping bands from the state, and also to expand their horizons,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, people in our area are more used to corpsstyle bands, so this will give them chance to see a different type of band. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very high-energy, entertaining and exciting.â&#x20AC;? Bands planning to attend include Northeast Guilford High School; Hoke County High School of Raeford; Halifax High School of South Boston, Va.; Warren County High School of Warrenton; Garinger High School of Charlotte; and West Mecklenberg High School of Charlotte. More than 50 high schools from all over the country will compete in the championships at Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morris Brown College from Nov. 12-15. Percussion and dance

OBITUARIES

One source of money could come from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. North Carolina has been allotted more than $38 million for the 2010 fiscal year. Allotments also are based on the Environmental Protection Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest survey of infrastructure investment needs of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking water systems.

weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have made provisions for our students if we see this hitting our schools,â&#x20AC;? said TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got something in place to take care of it. The worst thing we can do is panic and see it spread. Right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in pretty good shape.â&#x20AC;? In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ TCS finally has a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Tammy Stromko, TCS Finance Director, said the school system lost $540,000, or 5.5 percent, of its budget from a year ago due to the struggling economy and cuts passed on by the state. TCS had to make $393,000 in discretionary cuts and $706,000 was lost in instruction and support. â&#x20AC;˘ Two policy revisions on restraint and harassment and bullying were tabled to next month. James Carmichael, TCS associate superintendent, said revisions were needed to meet with state guidelines. One of the revisions said school personnel may restrain a student in the event of a fight or a person yielding a weapon. The revision to harassment and bullying expands what groups fall under the policy. â&#x20AC;˘ TCS named Thomasville Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diane Roberts and Ed Richardson and TPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rosa Holland and Sarah Brown as its monthly VITAL award winners.

competitions will take place on the first day. On the second day, each band will compete within its class in the preliminary round. The top bands in each class will return on the third day to compete for the overall championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we did really well,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finished first in class AA, and in the final round last year, we ended up fifth overall out of 12. This year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to go back to defend our class championship. Hopefully, we also can place higher in the overall final round, if not win it all.â&#x20AC;? The band must raise a total of $17,000 for the trip, which will pay for food, lodging, transportation and visits to historic sites and popular landmarks in Atlanta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our students havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the opportunity to travel to a major city, so this will be a great experience for them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember for a lifetime,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. He said that though the Scarlet Regiment is

a little smaller than it was last year, it still has a very strong sound, and the experience gained from competing last year will help them improve their performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, they were sort of in new territory,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, they know what to expect. They know what it takes to win, so everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geared up and working hard toward that goal.â&#x20AC;? Band members already held some car washes over the summer to raise money for the competition, and there is currently a fruit sale going on. Anyone interested in supporting the Thomasville High School band by ordering fruit can call Hayes at 474-4275.

Man arrested for sexua assault, again TIMES STAFF REPORT

A Lexington man already in trouble for sexually assaulting young girls is facing even more charges. Herbert James DeLosh, 55, of 204 Gordon Lane in Lexington, was charged with one count of indecent liberties with a child as he was sitting in the Davidson County Jail awaiting trial for another incident involving a juvenile victim. According to a press release from Davidson County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, detectives received a report regarding possible indecent liberties with a

8-year-old child on Oct. 1. Detectives investigated and discovered that between July 4, 2001, and Sept. 13, 2001, the then 8year-old victim had been inappropriately touched by DeLosh, who was already behind bars for charges stemming from an incident on Sept. 13. DeLosh was arrested and charged last month with one count of indecent liberties with a child, marking his second arrest in the past month for alleged sexual assaults of three separate victims. DeLosh was issued a $15,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 9.

For the first time since 1996, the Thomasville Bulldogs will play a Central Carolina Conference league game Friday night when it travels down Highway 8 to tangle with Central Davidson. The trek through nonconference to finally get to league play has been a rough one to say the least, but new beginnings and a clean slate have the Bulldogs rejuvenated to run the table the rest of the way. “It was a long, dry march through the desert there in nonconference,” said Thomasville head coach Allen Brown. “It will be good to be back at 0-0, and if we win, we will be on the positive side for the first time in a while. If we don’t, we will be back in the desert.” Thomasville enters Friday after defeating Asheboro 21-0 on Sept. 25, and was the beneficiary of an open date last week, which could not have come at a better time. The rigorous early season slate left the young Bulldogs battered and bruised in a variety of ways. Brown used the extra time to heal the physical and emotional wounds his

We wanted to refresh the kids mentally and physically, so we didn’t really hammer anything out or change anything.” Central Davidson posted a 3-3 record in its nonconference schedule, losing its last game against former CCC competitor Ledford.

East has other options on offense but Dylan Gallimore remains the centerpiece of the Golden Eagle attack.

Lady Eagles hold back Bulldogs in 3 TIMES STAFF REPORT Thomasville wound up losing in straight sets to East Davidson at home on Tuesday in CCC action, but the outcome could have been much different had the first game not slipped away. The Lady Bulldogs could not hold the lead in the first game, and could never recover after that losing a 22-25, 13-25, 2225 contest to the Golden Eagles. Thomasville built up a 20-16 lead, needing only five points to win the game. Two tips and a block from the active Candace Fox closed it to one, and East tied it on a Caroline Fowler ace. Stacy Hicks added a kill on the next point and another Fowler ace paved the way to the set win.

East won the second set convincingly as Fox and Taylor Alexander controlled the net. Despite a tough effort by Thomasville’s Careena Mock at the net, East was running away with the third game leading 11-5 after an Alexander ace. Four mistakes by the Eagles and two aces by Chasity McCurdy erased that deficit, as the game became tied at 11-11. East made up for the miscues surging ahead to an 18-12 lead on Fox’s ninth kill of the evening. THS fired again taking nine of the next 11 points, grabbing the lead with Mock hammering two kills and a block. Fox would have the final say, making it 24-22 with her 11th kill and finishing it off with a tip on match point.

Coming off of their bye-week, East Davidson is prepared to kick off its conference opener this Friday night at home against the Lexington Yellow Jackets. After its recent loss against archrival Ledford, the Golden Eagles have had a solid week of practice in order to refocus on the most important part of their season. “We worked on blocking, tackling and fundamentally trying to correct some mistakes that we have been making and hopefully we will look better this week,” said Eagles coach Bryan Lin-

gerfelt. East Davidson (3-3) came up short in last year’s contest against Lexington (3-3) 39-14, and know that they will have to step it up in order to keep up with their talented opponent. “We are trying to simulate some of the athleticisim that they possess,” said Lingerfelt. “We know that they have some good runners that can catch the ball and their quarterback is real good. They are a pretty physical team with a spread out plan on offense to take advantage of that athleticism that they have.” “They are well coached so we have got to make sure that we do not run

ourselves out of position.” On the defensive side of things, coach Lingerfelt believes that his team has got to tackle in the open field and he names that as being a big concern. On offense he expects his boys to take care of the ball and avoid any costly turnovers. The Eagles have fumbled the ball five times this season and thrown a couple interceptions and they are working on minimizing these mistakes in order to take the pressure off of the defense. Lexington is coming off two straight losses to Andrews and North Da-

Races to start earlier in 2010 NASCARMEDIA.COM DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Continuing the sport’s “back to basics” approach, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) and its television broadcast partners today announced earlier, uniform start times for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 2010. NASCAR worked closely with FOX, Turner, ESPN/ABC and the tracks on this project for the fans. The race start times for NASCAR Sprint Cup races in 2010 in the Eastern and Central regions of the country will begin at 1 p.m. ET, West Coast events will begin at 3 p.m. ET, and night races will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. (The one exception is NASCAR’s longest night race, the Coca-Cola 600, which will have the same 5:45 p.m. ET start time.)

Following the invocation and national anthem, the green flag will drop at approximately 15-20 minutes past the hour after each listed race start time. “NASCAR fans have been asking for earlier

and more consistent start times, and we are making this change for our fans, beginning with the Daytona 500 next February,” said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. “We are revisiting our sport’s tradition of earlier green flags, and the added consistency will make it easier for fans to know exactly when the races are being televised.

Additionally, the new start times will help track operators get fans in and out of the track earlier in the evening. Many fans heading home from the race earlier will be able to eliminate the costs of an extra travel day.” A total of 28 NASCAR Sprint Cup races in 2010 will be held at an earlier time compared to 2009, with 20 races moved to 1 p.m. ET, including the Daytona 500. Moving up the start of “The Great American Race” two-anda-half hours will produce the earliest start time for the Daytona 500 since 2003, when the race was also scheduled for 1 p.m. Five races move earlier to a 3 p.m. ET start and three races start earlier at 7:30 p.m. ET. In making the decision for earlier, more uniform start times, NASCAR

SPORTS UNC taking Wolpack aware of Duke talent simpler BY JOE JOHNSON approach on offense Durham Herald Sun

Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — After scoring just 10 points in its losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia, North Carolina coach Butch Davis said Monday that for the Tar Heels to start performing better, they have to simplify their offense. “When you’re struggling offensively, and that’s where we are right now, you’ve got to look at what we’re trying to do and say, ‘OK how much simplification will help these guys with the execution?’ “ Davis said. “Because execution generally means you’re going to play a little bit better.” After UNC’s offense flourished in a 31-17 win over East Carolina two weeks ago, the coaching staff used that game as a measuring stick of the young offense’s progress and decided to add new wrinkles. Davis said that plan backfired as new plays that had been drawn up, some specifically for Virginia’s unique 3-4 defense, were wasted because they hadn’t been practiced enough. “We kind of put in a lot of new runs and a lot of new looks for the different defense we were seeing this past week, and I guess Coach thinks he gave the offensive line, the receivers, the whole offense a little too much to think about,” UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. “We talked a little bit about just kind of simplifying the playbook and getting to our base stuff that we’re good at and that has worked for us in the past.” It also means backup running back Ryan Houston might be getting more playing time. The junior has 34 carries for 159 yards compared to starter Shaun Draughn who has 74 carries for 274 yards. Houston, who primarily has been used for short yardage, is the more physical of the two and his 6-2, 245-pound frame allows him to power through tacklers. “We spent a tremendous amount of time [Sunday] taking a look at things that we’ve tried to do through the first part of the season and what’s fixable and what’s not fixable and why are we struggling,” Davis said. “I think one of the questions that as coaches we kind of have to ask ourselves is: Are we trying to do too much with a young, inexperienced offensive football team?” The Tar Heels knew they were going to be young at receiver this season thanks to the departure of Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster. But the loss of a couple of offensive linemen over the summer and injuries to the starting tight end, center and left guard have hurt UNC’s ability to move the ball. “We’ve got to find things that our kids can do and do well and do with confidence,” Davis said. The Tar Heels also might have another starter who is not 100 percent against Georgia Southern, as left tackle

fense held Wake Forest to 30 rushing yards, but O’Brien said that was a bit deceiving because the Demon Deacons had committed to throwing the ball. “It wasn’t like they lined up and tried to run the ball,” O’Brien said. Before the Wake Forest game, N.C. State’s defense led the nation with the fewest yards allowed per game at 201.2. Even though the Demon Deacons racked up 391 yards, the Wolfpack still leads the ACC in this category while slipping to sixth nationally. Senior defensive end Willie Young said he is looking forward to playing Duke and that the troubles the secondary faced against Wake Forest will settle down. “It’s going to be a challenge for the secondary to clean up their mistakes,” Young said. “We’re going to have to buckle down.” Young is closing in on the N.C. State record for sacks held by Mario Williams. Young, who had three sacks against the Demon Deacs, has 19.5 sacks and needs seven to overtake Williams.

RALEIGH — Wake Forest provided N.C. State with a preview of what Duke might throw at the Wolfpack on Saturday, according to Coach Tom O’Brien. The Demon Deacons, with veteran quarterback Riley Skinner, attempted 45 passes against the Wolfpack to test an extremely young secondary. O’Brien said he intends to make some personnel shifts to shore up his secondary after Wake Forest was able to make some big plays through the air. O’Brien said he does not want a repeat performance against the Blue Devils, who have Thaddeus Lewis seemingly back at full strength. “Certainly, we’re going to make some changes,” O’Brien said. “The freshmen were a bit overwhelmed by the scope of the game. We’re going to go with a little more experience this week.” Injuries during the first four weeks of the season necessitated the young lineup that O’Brien used

in the defensive backfield against Wake Forest, but the depth chart heading into the game against Duke has Clem Johnson and Bobby Floyd at the safety positions and Justin Byer and either C.J. Wilson or DeAndre Morgan at corner. That means Koyal George, Brandon Bishop and Earl Wolff will go back to reserve roles. O’Brien said Lewis looks a lot better and more comfortable leading Duke’s attack now than he did earlier in the season. “I don’t think he was totally healthy, and that really can affect how well you throw the ball,” O’Brien said. “Looking at it from an outsider, that’s what I see.” One thing O’Brien liked against Wake Forest was the play of his defensive line. It was able to get a good rush on Skinner and sacked him seven times. O’Brien said a similar effort will be needed to contain Lewis. “If we couldn’t rush the passer, it would have been a whole lot worse,” O’Brien said. The Wolfpack’s de-

Half of NASCAR avid fans said they are often unclear about what time NASCAR races actually start. When given the chance to choose a start time, more than two-thirds of avid NASCAR fans preferred early Sunday afternoon. “It’s become clear to us that traditional, early Sunday afternoon, start times are favored by NASCAR fans who both attend races and watch on television,” said FOX Sports Chairman David Hill. “NASCAR, perhaps more than any other sport, belongs to the generations of fans who have passed on their passion, father to son, mother to daughter, so whatever we can do to make them feel better connected to the sport they love should be done.” “Many fans have been interested in standard start times for NASCAR’s television partners.

With the help of our partners in the sport at NASCAR and FOX Sports, we’re proud to deliver an earlier starting time for the 2010 Daytona 500.” “This is a very positive move for our fans,” said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager for New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “For example, it allows us another hour of daylight to run our races and to get traffic out before nightfall.

SPORTS OPENS From page 7 They feature a WingT offense implemented by first-year head coach Mark Hoover, that is complicated enough to teach, but even more complicated to defend against. There is a lot of misdirection and the Spartans have a stable of running backs and quarterback that operate it well. The wide receivers are also capable of making big plays on the outside in the passing game when the rushing attack lures the defense to sleep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (Wing-T) is unorthodox and you do not see it

that often,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a big adjustment with all of the misdirection, and we have shown it to the kids and hope to get them adjusted to it.

Searching the Skies

Exploring Our Place in Space Astronaut John Grunsfeld performs work on the Hubble Space Telescope on May 14, 2009, during the first of five spacewalks. Astronauts spent a week in space working on Hubble. Astronauts put in a new camera, the Wide Field Camera 3. They also installed a new instrument, the Cosmic Origins Spectograph, or COS. It splits light up into a rainbow, or spectrum (SPEKtrum). By looking at the different bands of colored light, scientists can tell what elements, or matter, make up different objects.

Have you been celebrating the International Year of Astronomy at your school? It marks an important event. Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei became the first person to turn a telescope to the skies. Now, 400 years later, NASA has just returned from a mission to update Hubble, the most powerful telescope humans have ever known. The Mini Page spoke with NASA experts about recent highlights of outer space exploration.

Galileo Galilei (ga-luh-LAY-oh ga-luh-LAY-ee) was an Italian scientist. His telescope observations helped prove that the Earth revolved around the sun. In 1609, Galileo (1564-1642) took a new invention, the spyglass, and improved upon it to create the first telescope for searching the skies. For the first time, people could see close-up views of the moon and planets.

Giving Hubble a new shine

In 2004, after the space shuttle Columbia broke apart during re-entry, NASA officials decided it was too risky to send astronauts up to work on Hubble. But this year they kept a second shuttle ready to rescue astronauts if they got in trouble while fixing Hubble. Luckily, it was not needed. Since it was repaired, the Hubble has been taking pictures of special places in the universe. In September, NASA began revealing these new wonders.

This year, astronauts flew to the Hubble Space Telescope to add new instruments and fix old ones. For the first time since it was launched in 1990, all of Hubbleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instruments are working at peak, or top, performance. Experts believe the whole observatory should last about five more years. It almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last at all. NASA had decided to let it crash to Earth.

Supersport: Trey Hardee Height: 6-5 Weight: 225 Grew up in: Birmingham, Ala. To win a decathlon, it takes speed, strength, skill, stamina and miles of heart. Trey Hardee packaged all those ingredients and won the grueling two-day, 10-event competition of running, jumping and throwing in the World Championships in track and field in Berlin, Germany. The 25-year-old former University of Texas standout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who failed to finish the 2008 Olympics decathlon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; became only the third U.S. male athlete to capture the world decathlon title. He turned in his season-best performance in the 100meter hurdles, discus and pole vault and set a personal record in the javelin throw. Hardeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic ambition didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always include track and field. Growing up, he wanted to be a basketball player, but turned to pole vaulting after getting cut from the team in high school. At Texas, he set an NCAA decathlon record in 2006. He also suffered defeats and disappointments along the way, but kept working hard, refusing to give up. His patience and perseverance finally paid off.

This is an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of what the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter looked like as it approached the moon. The artwork is laid over moon photos from the Apollo missions. Besides searching for possible landing sites, LRO will be mapping the surface of the moon with ultraviolet light, to show shadowed areas better. It will also be looking for possible radiation dangers.

Planning for a return trip This June, NASA launched two spacecraft to study the moon. These missions are NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first steps toward a return to the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, is flying around the moon, checking out possible landing sites for future human trips. LRO began sending back pictures in July. The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, is searching for water ice at one of the moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poles. On Oct. 9, the upper stage of the rocket Centaur will separate from LCROSS. It will crash into the moon, sending up a giant dust plume. LCROSS will fly through the dust plume, collecting information about what is in the dust. Scientists hope they will find some water. Later, LCROSS too will crash into the moon, sending up a second dust cloud. This will be visible from Earth with telescopes.

Searching for Earth-like planets In March, NASA launched the Kepler telescope to hunt for Earth-size or smaller planets orbiting other stars. It is also seeking out planets that are not too hot and not too cold. It is searching for planets with just the right temperature to have liquid water. If there is water, there could be life.

Surveying Our Skies

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

Sun storms

In December, NASA plans to launch a small telescope, the Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. It will survey the entire sky. WISE will search for the brightest galaxy in the universe. It will find the closest star to the sun. It will also be able to find stars so cold and dark that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them. These dim stars are called brown dwarfs. They are so cold, they give off only infrared or near-infrared light, which the human eye canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. Anything that gives off heat also gives off infrared light. So WISE will be kept refrigerated, at about 430 degrees F below zero. This is so the heat of the telescope doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with its search. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see faint brown dwarfs from Earth, even with our biggest telescopes, because the heat of our planet drowns out their dim infrared light.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, will help us understand how the sun affects the Earth and outer space near Earth. It is expected to be launched in late 2009 or early 2010. Sun storms, or explosions on the sun, affect matters on Earth, such as: s '03 MAPPING SYSTEMS s CELL PHONE COMMUNICATIONS s BIRD MIGRATIONS s THE AURORAS Sun storms have caused blackouts in Quebec and Sweden.

Seeking whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there

Sun storms can affect life on Earth. There are several NASA missions now studying the sun. One new mission, SDO, will study the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere and the interior of the sun.

Mapping our place in space

An engineer works on the WISE telescope. The Mini Page thanks Eric Smith, program scientist, Hubble, and Jennifer Rumburg, Heliophysics Division, NASA, for help with this issue.

The Interstellar Boundary EXplorer, or IBEX, is a small satellite about the size of a bus tire. It carries several instruments to study the neighborhood at the edge of our solar system. These instruments collect fastmoving electrical particles. With IBEX data, scientists have been able to make sky maps of the boundaries between our solar system and the rest of space. Scientists have been surprised by what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found. NASA plans to release information about these surprises this month.

Meteorite on Mars In August, the Mars rover Opportunity sent back data on the largest meteorite found on that planet, about the size of a watermelon. In order for a meteorite that large to survive, it means Mars must have once had a thicker atmosphere. Otherwise, the meteorite would have broken apart as it fell to Mars. The Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, are still sending back data after five years. art courtesy NASA

TFD urges residents to stay fire smart TIMES STAFF REPORT

Once a child touches a hot stove, as the clichĂŠ goes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he learns his lesson, stay away from a hot stove. This clichĂŠ does not take into account the pain and suffering from burns and burns should not be part of the learning process. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Thomasville Fire Department in conjunction with area other Fire Departments are teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for Fire Prevention Week 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 4-10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to urge all city residents to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay Fire Smart! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get Burned.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign focuses on ways to keep homes fire safe and prevent painful burns. The statistics are stag-

gering. A home fire is reported every 45 seconds, killing nearly 2,900 people and injuring more than 13,000 annually. Each year, roughly 180,000 people visit U.S. hospital emergency rooms with burn injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most common types of burn injuries result from fire or flame burns, scalds and contact burns,â&#x20AC;? said Dolly Hulin, Fire and Life Safety Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burns are painful and can result in serious scarring and even death. When we take extra caution in our homes to ensure that the curling iron is out of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach or pot handles are turned away from the edge of the stove, such injuries are entirely preventable. Keeping our homes safe from fire and preventing devastating

burn injuries is a healthy change we can make happen.â&#x20AC;? By following simple safety rules, residents can â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay Fire Smart! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get Burned.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Keep hot foods and liquids away from tables and counter edges so they cannot be pulled or knocked over. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a 3-foot â&#x20AC;&#x153;kid-freeâ&#x20AC;? zone around the stove. â&#x20AC;˘ Never hold a child in your arms while preparing hot food or drinking a hot beverage. â&#x20AC;˘ Be careful when using things that get hot such as curling irons, oven, irons, lamps, heaters. â&#x20AC;˘ Install tamper-resistant receptacles to prevent a child from sticking an object in the outlet. â&#x20AC;˘ Never leave a child alone in a room with a lit candle, portable heater,

lit fireplace or stove, or where a hot appliance might be in use. â&#x20AC;˘ Wear short or closefitting sleeves when cooking. â&#x20AC;˘ Set your hot water temperature no higher than 120 degrees. â&#x20AC;˘ Install anti-scald valves on shower heads and faucets. Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across North Carolina and the Country. For 85 years fire departments have observed Fire Prevention Week, making it the longest running public health and safety observance on record. For more information, or to schedule a Fire & Life Safety Program for adults or children, contact Thomasville Fire Department at 475-5545

PTCOG releases Rich Fork Creek study TIMES STAFF REPORT

The Piedmont Triad Council of Governments (PTCOG) recently completed the Rich Fork Creek Watershed Restoration Plan as part of a $103,000 project funded by grants from the NC Division of Water Quality and the Clean Water Management Trust Fund. Rich Fork Creek is currently listed as “impaired” by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for biological habitat. PTCOG is working closely with Davidson County Planning and the Cities of High Point and Thomasville to restore clean waters to Rich Fork Creek. The final Plan outlines actions and projects stakeholders and communities can undertake to improve conditions in Rich Fork Creek and ultimately in High Rock Lake. The plan identifies stormwater management and buffer restoration as the principal needs in the recovery process. The Creek’s poor water quality conditions is the result of agricultural and residential pollutants, including fertilizers and pesticides, dirt from construction sites, litter and pet waste. This is the greatest source of pollution to Rich Fork

Develop a Backpocket Question Do you ever run into someone who always asks something of you immediately after the greeting? Maybe even before you’ve formulated what you might do or say next? That person may have a back-pocket question ready at all times. Using one may demonstrate your interest in the other person. It may also give you a little time of social interaction where you can observe and take in the other person’s ‘vibe’. Your follow up questions and comments can reflect that you are tuned into where they are. Don’t takes Notes at Meetings OK. If you are the team secretary or recorder, maybe this is not the idea for you. But if not, try focusing your attention on the actions and reactions of others and you’ll tap in to a different dimension of meeting dynamics. If you keep your eyes on a computer screen or glued to a notepad, you’ll miss important details that you can’t get from reading someone else’s notes. Come up for air.
