TMC, TFD fire safety efforts recognized

2010 ELECTION

Hedrick highlights political platform

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville Medical Center and Thomasville Fire Department pulled their collective resources in an effort to increase awareness about the importance of fire prevention in the home.

With the help from DavidsonLinks volunteers, TMC and TFD reached out to hundreds of area homes that were literally an accident waiting to happen. More than 250 smoke alarms were installed throughout Thomasville as part of the Remembering When fire and fall prevention program for older adults. “The City of Thomasville has one of the finest injury prevention programs in the state,�

Kelly Randall, deputy director with the State Fire Marshall’s Office, said. In North Carolina, our biggest problem is people either don’t have working smoke alarms, don’t change the batteries or have smoke alarms that are too old. This program is responsible for saving lives.�

Trained volunteers accompanied members of TFD going door-to-door throughout the Chair City to homes where fire prevention education was needed the most. Often times, Randall said, senior citizens are extremely vulnerable to fires as they don’t tend to ask for a smoke detector when they need it. Seniors also are susceptible to falls, and part of the program included making homes safer for elderly people to move around in safely. “The great thing about this program is we come up with the model and you apply it to make it

Reliving History

s the late afternoon sun shone over a bustling Thomasville downtown, the fiery and patriotic words of Lyndon B. Johnson flowed out over the railroad tracks.

Almost 50 years from the day the former president — then a senator and vice president-hopeful — addressed Thomasville citizens from the back of a train on Oct. 10, 1960, Thomasville Tourism commemorated the moment in a reenactment and playing of the speech. “This is a very special time in the history of the celebration of Thomasville,� Mayor Joe Bennett told the gathered crowd. “Back then, Thomasville was at a peak of manufacturing. A gentleman that was running for vice president of the United States

thought it would be very proper and fitting to stop here.�

At the height of his power as Senate leader, Johnson had run for the Democratic nomination

‘You people here who are known as being makers of fine furniture ... I want you to look at us as makers of good government and weavers of a fine destiny.’ — Lady Bird Johnson for president but lost to John F. Kennedy. He surprised the nation when he joined the Democratic ticket and accepted the

vice president seat.

Just weeks before the General Election, Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, went on a Special Tour of the South or Special Southern Swing, traveling by train to Culpepper, Va., Gastonia, N.C., Thomasville and New Orleans, and made several whistle stops in undocumented cities. The campaign spanned Oct. 9 through 14, and the party stopped in Thomasville on Oct. 10.

After addressing the crowd, Johnson hopped atop the Big Chair and waved to the crowd.

Thomasville officials presented Lady Bird and Johnson with a replica of the Big Chair to be shipped to their house in Washington. “You people here who are known as being makers of fine

Cumpton earns TCS ‘Teacher of the Year’ honors

Thomasville Middle School’s Ira Cumpton stands in his science lab Thursday at the school.

Ira Cumpton may be in enemy territory when it comes to college basketball, but as far as the classroom goes, the Thomasville Middle School science teacher is right where he wants to be.

Cumpton, a Kentucky native and proud supporter of his home state Wildcats, was named Thomasville City Schools Teacher of the Year earlier this week. Known as a tireless worker who has been in the Chair City school system for more than two decades, the social studies turned science teacher hopes to be in Thomasville for many years to come. “This is very humbling,� Cumpton said. “There area lot of great teachers

and just to be considered is an honor.

My whole career has been right here in Thomasville. I love it here. I have great people to work with and wonderful kids.

I just really enjoy being in Thomasville.

I’ve gotten to know a lot of people and am starting to teach children of my former students. That’s kind of neat. This is home away from home.�

Cumpton is in his 21st year as a Thomasville educator and spends his days teaching sixth and eight grade science. When not in the classroom, Cumpton also teaches driver’s education and coaches the girl’s track team at Thomasville High School. While he started out teaching social studies, the move to science has allowed him to do and expe-

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

Owner of Hedrick Creative B u i l d Hedrick ing LLC, a home building company, Hedrick finished top of the pack with the most votes in the Democrat primary during his first foray into politics.

And like most of his comrades, a large part of Hedrick’s focus lies on economic development.

Any and all types of businesses have helped the county rise above the recession, but small businesses seem to have a renewed focus. Hedrick says that about three fourths of the U.S. labor force works for a small business, and as such Davidson County needs to do all it can to support those companies. “I think small businesses are one of the biggest keys we’ve got to grow in our economy,� said Hedrick, who added that while incentives to small companies were a good start, the county still could do more. “We also need to reach out and help small businesses grow or help them with problems by putting them in touch

Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense VIEWPOINT

BILL HILL Guest Columnist

COURTESY PHOTO

UP TO THE CHALLENGE Last year, the fourth grade teachers at Friendship Elementary School issued a challenge to the third graders, soon to be fourth graders. The challenge was to study and learn their multiplication facts 0-9 over the summer and be ready to take a multiplication test the first full week of school as a fourth grader. Students who met the challenge, learned their facts, and made ‘100’ on the test would get their picture in the newspaper. These are the students who accomplished this goal. The staff is very proud of these students who have been a good example for all students at Friendship. Mrs. Moore - Jimmy Dasher, Lauren Marion, MacKenzie Yaudes, Luke Dixon, Samantha Carter; Mrs. Bullins - Stefan Begic, Cassie Douglass, Carleigh Todd, Isaiah Turner, Lauren Chhim; Mrs. Dillard - Macy Carmichael, Miranda Dyer, Jennifer Tran; Mrs. Porter - Riley Green, McCall Denny, Kyra Stash and Ken Woempner.

Everhart receives Eagle Scout Award TIMES STAFF REPORT

Jeffrey and Sandra Everhart, of Thomasville, announce that their son, Kyle Everhart, received the Eagle Scout Award on Aug. 29 during worship service at Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church, sponsor of the 17-year-old scout’s Troop 57.

Kyle received the Order of Arrow honor and the God and Country honor.

He served as scribe and assistant senior patrol leader for his troop.

For his Eagle Scout project, Kyle spent 91 hours organizing a blanket drive and distribution of blankets for Open Door Ministries.

Kyle is the grandson of Wilfred and Barbara Hilton, of Thomasville,

and of the late Ray Donald and Doris Everhart, of Welcome. He is a senior LedEverhart at ford Senior High School and a member of Ledford Panther Regiment.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, why life isn’t fair, and that maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies: Don’t spend more than you earn. (However, these days wages continue to decrease and prices continue to go up.)

The rich man’s world.

Work as hard as you can, but will you be rewarded financially or even get a pat on the back? (You decide this one!) And as my longtime friend, Larry Murdock recently said in one of his columns, “Another one bites the dust.�

Oh yes, Common Sense had reliable strategies: Adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate

when his parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Tylenol, sun lotion, or even a band-aid to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when it became punishable for you to defend yourself from a burglar in your own home but the burglar could possibly sue you for assault.

(Did you know that? I read that somewhere.)

He began to lose ground rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacherfired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense finally gave up will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled some in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death

by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his seven stepbrothers, I Know My Rights, Someone Is To Blame, I’m A Victim, I’m Going To Sue You, You Owe Me, Mr. I’m Perfect, and last but not least, I Can’t Do That Because You Don’t Have Medical Insurance — You’ll Have To Wait I’ll Loose Money.

Mr. Common Sense had three stepsisters, That Is Not My Patient, I Am Here Just For A Pay Check I Could Care Less , and I Will Act Like I Am Listening And Understanding. Five Cousins, This Is Your Fault, You Need Me I Don’t Need You., I’m Mad And I Am Not Talking, I’m Better Than You, and I’ll Pay You Next Time Your Check Is In The Mail.

Such is life folks.

We all see it every day.

Always try to do the positive things in life, not the negative, you will make the world a better place to live!

Not many people attended The Common Sense funeral because so few realized he was gone.

In lieu of flowers or

monetary donations, I am sure Mr. Sense would just ask for a simple prayer from us or just simply look into a mirror and say to ourselves, “Am I guilty for destroying Mr. Common Sense, and if so, what can I do about it, and how can I improve myself, and how can I improve things for other people?�

I remember as a former member of the Thomasville Jaycees our motto was, “Service to humanity is the best work in life.� We practiced what we Preached.� “Give of yourself people.

It’s pretty simple!�

And that is the way it is, this Saturday morning, Oct. 9, 2010. God, show us the way and guide us thru these hard and sometimes difficult days of our lives. Teach us to pray and to always use common sense. Amen.�

Uncle Bill says. be safe, be strong, love one another, let there be peace on earth, trust in GOD, and be happy!

Until next time Uncle Bill is over and out.

FOCUS HEDRICK From page A1 with the right people, give them the help they need to market themselves and build their business.”

That assistance shouldn’t just apply to small businesses, however, but to any company in the area.

“We need to do everything we can to make all permitting and government requirements easy, to essentially have help available through the funding office to help these companies through their problems with minimal resistance from the county government,” he said.

Another aspect of economic development would be to advance local tourism, developing resources such as High Rock Lake and area history.

“Making the county more attractive is going to come through advertising and letting the people know what we have available for recreation here in the county,” Hedrick said.

Tapping into tourism, at least to a degree, would bring people from outside the county into the area to spend money and boost the local economy.

“Tourism is not going to be ‘the’ industry here in the county, but if we promote our natural resources and things we have here, it’s going to help attract people to the area,” Hedrick said. “We can’t handle a ton of overnight travel, but we’ve got great destinations that people in the surrounding counties need to come see and spend their money here in Davidson County.”

But hand in hand with economic development comes education. Hedrick said that by continuing to improve that aspect of the local quality of life, Davidson County will have more success attracting businesses.

“I think we need to continue to focus on education and getting our people here in the county trained and getting everybody a quality education,” he said. “We’ll attract more businesses with qualified people in the county that are ready to work.”

Again, Hedrick pointed out that improving education isn’t the only piece to the economic puzzle. Better self-marketing, continued business incentives and company assistance will all attribute to economic development.

“We need a little bit of help all the way around,” Hedrick said. “We also need to start concentrating on sewer to the outlying areas and the interchanges on Highway 85 so we can attract more retail and restaurant expansion.”

The issue up at High Rock Lake with water quality and a state takeover of dam ownership concerns Hedrick, he said, but he added that he thought all parties involved needed to look further into solutions.

“We need to continue to work with other municipalities to ensure that their water treatment is taking care of the water so that what we’ve got coming in is clean to start with,” he said. “I do think that it would be great if the state had more control over the water that runs through our area, but I don’t feel like the state can just take over the dam project without some kind of consequences or some kind of conversation with our board.

I think it’s something that needs more study.”

But of all the issues facing the county, Hedrick continues to reiterate the importance of the county supporting itself.

“We need to do everything we can do as citizens here in Davidson County to help the county grow,” he said, “and just do what we can to support our local people and look to buy local every chance we get.”

Republicans can’t give in on trade VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist It was recently reported that noted Democratic strategist James Carville urged candidates to hammer Republicans on the issue of trade. This tactic is meant to put Republicans in a tough spot. We’re a nation, evidently, that has zero tolerance for Malaysian-made suits sold at reasonable prices.

Now, this might have been tactically advantageous for Dems if so many Republicans hadn’t already surrendered to their protectionist political impulses. There’s really not much to hammer them on.

It’s astonishing how many “free market” candidates I meet who are deeply haunted by mythological ogres who live to “outsource” and “ship jobs overseas” just to screw the Forgotten Man. It’s such a crisis that last week, the House passed the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act -- an expansion, I kid you not, of the Depression-instigating SmootHawley Tariff Act. Or, more precisely, a de facto tax on the American consumer.

And guess what? Ninetynine Republicans voted for it.

Rather than open trade with China, India, Colombia or South Korea (the latter recently signing a liberal trade agreement with the European Union), Washington is busy making demands to corrupt trade -- demands that typically have more to do with carbon emissions than they do with American prosperity.

If the newly chaste Republican Party believes free markets hold the answers for health care and for the auto industry and for job creation, then why, a skeptic might wonder, does it surrender to the statist position on free trade?

Well, the answer turns out to be rather simple. In a recent poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal, we learn that Americans have bought

populist fears on trade. More than 50 percent of those polled claim that free-trade agreements have hurt the U.S. That number is up from 46 percent three years ago and 32 percent in 1990. The poll found that 90 percent of Republicans agree that “outsourcing” is one reason for our present economic dilemma.

No matter how many times history proves the protectionists wrong, they come back and scaremonger and demagogue us into believing trade is harmful. And admittedly, there are few more abstract and politically problematic positions to defend.

We’re losing manufacturing jobs. Scary stuff. Which candidate is going to explain to the voters that outsourcing has allowed the American work force to trade up to better jobs and allows companies to grow their businesses and expand their work forces?

Which candidate is going to point out that manufacturing jobs have declined in the past 20 years because there has been an incredible rise in the productivity of the American worker? The output at U.S. factories was 37 percent higher in 2009 than it was in 1993.

Higher productivity means a higher standard of living for most Americans. Unproductive jobs? We have that covered with the stimulus.

“Our philosophy has to be not how many protectionist measures can we put in place, but how do we invent new things to sell,” Rudy Giuliani once explained, nearly perfectly. “That’s the view of the future. What (protectionists) are trying to do is lock in the inadequacies of the past.”

Any Republican who votes for tariffs in the midst of a major economic downturn is locking in to the inadequacies of the past. And now that Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party is no longer around, once the right surrenders on trade, we’re going to be in a lot of trouble.

Community survey THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Syndicated Columnist Six former Davidson County athletes will be inducted into the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame at the J. Smith Young YMCA in Lexington on Oct. 16. Two Thomasville residents will be among those honored. Colon Starrett is among this year’s inductees. Starrett, with a career span of 30 years, is described as one of the premier high school and college basketball referees in North Carolina. Colon officiated in 10 North Carolina High School State Championship games and the East/West AllStar game. He was respected by coaches and his peers. He was recommended for consideration as an Atlantic Coast Conference official but could not accept this assignment due to job considerations.

Congratulations, Colon!

Another Thomasville resident will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Danny Ward was East Davidson’s athletic director for 18 years before retiring in 2002. Under Ward’s tenure, East Davidson won six state championships. He was also defensive coordinator for the football team and head track coach.

He was a standout athlete at Thomasville, where he was captain of the football, baseball and wrestling teams. In 1969, he was the baseball MVP. He was valedictorian of the senior class and went on to play football at Davidson. Congratulations to Danny as well!

Others inductees are Louie Cox, a longtime referee; youth sports organizer Doug Elmore Sr.; Lexington High four-sport star Moe Smith Sr; and Joe McIntosh, football standout at Lexington.

Others from Thomasville who previously have been inducted into the Davidson County Hall of Fame are: Allen Brown; Ron Carpenter; Wanda Wilson Cline; Darrell Floyd; Wayne Hoover; George Cushwa; John Doby; Randy Black; Howard Hayes; Dan Medlin; Ted Blake; Bob Byerly; Colon Clinard; Donnie Holt; Andy Goins, Clint Ingram, Phil Kanoy and Jennings Withers.

••• The Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce is taking the lead in an effort to involve all residents and businesses in creating a new “Community Vision and Strategic Program.”

According to the Chamber, many residents have expressed a desire to see Thomasville grow and prosper. Leadership within the community has responded by coordinating an effort to develop a vision for the future of the Thomasville area. The Chamber is asking residents to log on to www.thomasvillechamber.net by Oct. 24 and complete the Thomasville Community Survey.

Residents can also attend two events where they can share their vision for community issues. The first session will be held on Nov. 30, 7 p.m. at Ball Park Road Community Center near Finch Field.

The second session will be at 10. a.m. on Dec. 1 in Jarrett Hall at Memorial United Methodist Church. Drawings for $250 cash will be held at each of the two sessions and among survey participants.

••• One of our North Carolina representatives serving in the General Assembly sends a monthly report online.

I received the September report via E-Mail on Friday, Oct. 1. It was dated Sept.

31. Hmmm! I thought September only had 30 days!

••• Last week, I spoke about folks wanting to learn more about “the communities” within Thomasville.

One gentleman did respond to how “Cucumber Crossing” got its name.

From his information, Cucumber Crossing is not

at Blair Street and Unity Street, it is apparently at the Railroad Crossing on Unity Street. His information was that a farmer was pulling a trailer filled with cucumbers across the track when a train struck the cucumber filled trailer. I’ll accept that one until someone comes up with another explanation. Still need information on how several communities got their name.

More on that in the next article.

••• While sitting in the waiting area at Forsyth Hospital several weeks ago, I noticed a basket full of paper strips.

Upon further investigation (that’s a police term) I found the strips contained profound statements. I’ll share a few with you!

• Faith is the ability to believe even though you cannot see!

• Integrity is not a 90 percent thing, either you have it or you don’t!

• He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes.

He who doesn’t ask a question is a fool forever!

• One falsehood spoils a thousand trusts!

• Remember, that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck! *What we see is normally what we look for!

• Live a good honorable life and when you get older you can look back and enjoy it a second time.

••• The pumpkins are here.

The Choir of Memorial United Methodist Church is selling pumpkins again this year as a fundraiser. Funds derived from the Pumpkin sale will support the Choir and the music ministry. The sale will continue until Oct. 31 or until all pumpkins are sold. Choir members will be available to sell pumpkins Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m,, Saturdays late morning until 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor Whittier said it, “For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.” The last US presidential election was labeled as “historic” by many observers. We had our first post-racial president. We had a president who was a “child of the world.” A president who had experienced life in other cultures. A president who could identify with all the segments of a divided society and bring healing to old hurts. A president who would bring our economy back “from the brink.”

Instead, we got a president whose background with Rev. Wright comes immediately

to mind when his justice department gives notice that obvious voter intimidation by Black Panthers will not be prosecuted. We got a president who bows to the leaders of violent regimes around the world while withdrawing support from our staunchest allies.

We got a president whose programs have resulted in more debt for our country (already drowning in deficits) than all before him combined, and we got dramatic unemployment levels with no improvement in sight.

Lyndon B. Johnson waves to the crowd from atop the Big Chair during a visit to Thomasville on Oct. 10, 1960.

HISTORY From page 1 furniture and weavers of good textiles, I want you to look at us as makers of good government and weavers of a fine destiny,” Lady Bird had told the gathered crowd, emphasizing Thomasville’s national importance as a center of manufacturing.

At the commemoration, Bennett gave a brief presentation before Justin and Jacob Kohler read portions of Johnson’s speech. Then Mark Scott, director of Thomasville Tourism, played audio of the actual event 50 years ago.

“It’s important to remember because it gives people a chance to relive and remember this history and pass it along,” Scott said. “And it allows these people who were here to rehash it with friends.

People kind of light up talking about this as if they were there then. It enables the townspeople to keep this history alive by telling it to their children and their friends.”

Scott says that many of the folks who actually saw Johnson speak hold the day pretty close to heart. One man even recalled how he held the ladder for Johnson to climb onto the Big Chair.

One of the ways volunteers identified homes in need of smoke alarms was through neighborhood campassing. Doloris Richardson lived outside the city limits and called TFD to see if the program could come to her. When she found it could, Richardson helped provide smoke alarms to 45 mobile homes.

“They are my friends and my neighbors,” Richardson said. “Some of them I’ve known for 25 years and I certainly would hate for anything to happen to them. I hope this will save lives.”

ers on 9/11, but I’ve talked to so many people that remember where they were and what they were doing when Pres.

Johnson came to town,” Scott said. “It definitely has its place. I see the pride of these people who are 50, 60, 70 share their experiences and what it means to them with their children and grandchildren.”

Both Bennett and Scott took the opportunity to emphasize that, even though Thomasville is certainly changing, its importance hasn’t disappeared.

North Carolina is the sixth most-visited state in the nation, Scott said, and other economic fields have begun popping up in the area, replacing the old manufacturing plants.

“By diversifying, we don’t have all of our eggs in one basket,” Bennett said.

“If one industry leaves, we still have others, and there are more coming in.”

The event also served to help kick off other historical events in the area, such as the first Twelve Days of Christmas, in which area children will be able to take pictures with Santa at various historical sties around town, and the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War in January 2011.

and that’s why I do this.”

TFD was the only team for North Carolina to participate in the program, but their involvement has captured the attention of other fire squads across the state. Dolly Hulin, TFD’s fire and safety director and the department’s first female firefighter, said the program has exceeded her expectations.

“This has been a wonderful program,” Hulin said. “We got the message to where it needed to be. Without the help from people like Linda Hunt [TMC Foundation’s executive director] and Fire Chief Martin Dailey, none of this would’ve been possible.”

RELIGION

The unknown God MINISTER’S CORNER

DR. GEORGE JACKSON Syndicated Columnist

“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.” (Acts 17:23 KJV)

My college roommate found himself single again after 20 years of marriage. He dated a few

times over the course of two years, but he just could not find Ms. Right. So like millions of other divorced people, he turned to the Internet to pursue love. He met a girl online who seemed to fulfill his every dream.

They chatted online and talked on the phone for three months before finally agreeing to meet at a neutral location. I was anxious to hear how the big date went so I called him a few days later. I could hardly wait to ask, “Man, how did it go?”

I was anticipating an enthusiastic response from a man who had just met his soul mate instead I heard the familiar tone of resignation. He said, “When we were chatting online and on the phone, I had this image of her based on the picture she posted

with her profile. When we finally met, I found out that the picture she posted was taken a decade and 25 pounds ago.

Man she changed a lot.”

I asked him if they had spoken since the date. He had not called her and she had not called him.

I guess she was equally disappointed as he was seeing that his head full of hair was gone.

On his second missionary journey, Paul was rushed off to Athens, Greece to avoid persecution from the Jews of Thessalonica. In Athens, Paul was shocked by the prevalence of idolatry in the city. He began to preach the gospel in the synagogue and the marketplace.

The curious Athenians summoned the Apostle to Mars Hill to defend his doctrine. Paul, commenting on the multiplicity

of idols in the city made observation that the Athenians were so superstitious that they would even erect a shrine to the “Unknown God.” My college roommate was really smitten by the image of his Internet girlfriend, but when they met face-to-face it was anti-climatic. Maybe the problem with idols is the visual affect. When we see things with our natural eye we tend to find flaws or fault with them.

People, places and things that initially take our breath away, eventually fall under the lens of our microscope where they are dissected, ostracized and ultimately criticized and disqualified.

No matter how super the man or the woman, there exist a rival who will find some kryptonite to disable them.

Maybe that’s why

God told us not to make any “graven image” of Him. Moses wanted to see God’s face, but was only allowed to see His backside as He passed by a cliff. God explained to Moses that no man could see His face and live.

Makes sense to me. If we could see God with our natural eye we would find a way to mess God up. If we could see God, we might make God look like us and act like we do.

If we could see God, we might say who God likes or dislikes. We would tell God who to bless or curse. We might sic God on people who don’t vote the way we vote or believe what we believe or love who we love and hate who we hate.

I’m glad I cannot see God. That makes faith real to me. If I could see God, I could confine God to a temple or mosque

or church and visit Him once or twice a week.

If I could confine God, I could define God and then I could control God. Seeing God would cause me to limit what God can do based upon my own anthropomorphic projections of how tall or how wide or how old or how rich or how educated or how dark or how conservative or how straight God should be.

I’m glad God chooses to remain anonymous, unsearchable and unknown. He remains God without the need of our validation to be God. Isaiah 45:5 declares, “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.”

Staff Writer Central Davidson was supposed to challenge Thomasville in the Bulldogs Central Carolina Conference opener at Cushwa Stadium Friday night.

Apparently, Thomasville players never got the memo. The Bulldogs made a resounding statement that the CCC title is theirs to lose following a 48-7 dismantling of a Spartan squad many thought, on paper, had the talent to stay with Thomasville. Paper and the real thing proved to be polar opposites in this blowout.

The Bulldogs out-played CDHS in virtually every facet of the game.

“We heard they were talking junk at the JV game,” THS’ Quin Riley said after rushing for 128 yards and three touchdowns. “We decided to show them out on the field. They shouldn’t have judged us before we played them.”

Plenty of early fireworks went off during a first quarter that featured three touchdowns. On Thomasville’s second possession, with CDHS spying in the backfield, Sam Nelson executed a perfect play action fake and found Quindale Williams open down the middle of the field for a 51-yard touchdown pass. The Spartans bounced back to knot the game at seven late in the opening quarter following a 6 play, 72-yard drive. Saig Skeen got CDHS on the board with a bruising 37yard scamper to the end zone, breaking several arm tackles along the way.

“They are a very talented and tough team,” THS assistant coach Dickie Cline said of Central. “We were rested and we had a great week of practice, probably the best week of

East feels the Jackets’ sting

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor LEXINGTON - One answer was not nearly enough for the East Davidson Golden Eagles Friday evening against Lexington at Philpott Memorial Stadium.

East had a response to an early Lexington touchdown to tie the game in the first quarter, but it was all Yellow Jackets from that point on, as LHS danced its way to a 56-14 Central Carolina Conference win on Homecoming.

MarQuez Grayson scored with only 46 seconds gone in the game, but the Eagles would soon have the equalizer.

Taking its time to march down the field, the Golden Eagles used nine Lingerfelt plays to move the ball to the Yellow Jacket 12. On third down, quarterback Taylor Warren lofted a pass to Josh Craven to the corner of the endzone, tying the score at 7-7.

The speed of LHS was simply too much for EDHS to handle, scoring at will and often.

Starting at the East 38 after a big kickoff return by James Drummond, Lexington needed 1:30 and three plays to finish the job. Codie Boger was the recipient of the glory this time around, dicing his way for a 27yard run and a 14-7 lead.

“First drive was great and we executed well, but we knew it was going to be a struggle for us defensively,” said East coach Bryan Lingerfelt. “They are just so explosive on offense.”

A quick series by East put the potent Jacket offense back on the field at their own 35 with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter. After losing seven yards, Grayson was found running free again, slicing and dicing around the defenders to take it 72 yards for the score.

Once again it was the East offense producing no first downs on their drive, giving it back to a Lexington team that was firing on all cylinders. It took the Jackets a little longer this time around, but the end result was yet another touchdown, putting an exclamation point on a game that would continue to get out of hand.

By halftime it was all Jackets with a 42-7 lead and a little over 300 yards of offense.

“We have some guys dinged up on defense, but we have got to find some answers and something that

East Davidson’s Ray Tolley is pulled down by a Lexington defender Friday night. will work,” said Lingerfelt. “We played hard tonight with a lot of class and I am proud of that.”

With a running clock in the second half, East kept fighting despite what the scoreboard read.

The Golden Eagles drove 79 yards down the field using seven plays, scoring its second touchdown of the night when Tyler Lequire caught a tipped pass from Taylor Warren.

It was a 49-14 game at that point, with Lexington going on to add one more score to cap the evening’s festivities.

Life does not get any easier for the 2-5 Eagles as Thomasville awaits next week. It seems cruel to go from a big loss like this to playing the Bulldogs next week, but Lingerfelt just shrugged it off.

“That is just the way it goes,” he said.

CHAPEL HILL — Will Graves’ basketball career at North Carolina came to an end Thursday when the fifthy e a r senior was dismissed f r o m the Tar Heels for failing to comWilliams ply with t e a m rules.

Coach Roy Williams said in a statement Graves’ dismissal was not related to the ongoing investigations into agents and academics that has 10 UNC football players being withheld from competition.

“This is 100 percent not related to any NCAA matters on campus,” Williams said in a statement. “I hate this for Will. He worked extremely hard this summer to get himself physically in the best shape he’s been in years, but he did not do everything he needed to do to be a part of our basketball

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to a dog?

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist One of my favorite stories is about a farmer who was spotted holding up a pig while it ate an apple off a tree. A neighbor stopped by and suggested the farmer shake the tree and allow the pigs to eat the apples off the ground to save time.

The farmer responded with the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to a pig?â&#x20AC;?

While animals do keep track of time with internal clocks we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, short periods of time are irrelevant to most animals. In training a dog, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see that dogs have a concept of time based on a fairly short attention span. This is really a matter of the dog not attaching enough importance to the command for it to stay in his mind for a protracted period of time.

Dogs can be incredibly patient provided they know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen at the end of the wait. The trouble comes in when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen at the end of the wait and they become anxious. When training your dog to stay, always reward him with a good petting and maybe a food reward when you release him from the command.

At this stage of Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training, time can become an issue. I can give Larry a command to get on his box â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a command we normally use to keep him in position during an event weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll instantly comply and stay for a while. Unless he decides to nap, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll then come off within a half hour and resume his normal activities. In most circumstances around home, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to cause a problem but when we are at an event, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not acceptable.

For me to be able to leave him unattended yet still accessible, he needs to stay on his box

until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve released him from the command by saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK.â&#x20AC;? The same is true if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hunting somewhere and I need to leave him in one spot while I go somewhere else. In both situations, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to do pretty well until faced with a distraction like someone petting him or a bird being shot and falling in close proximity.

Without the habit of staying put until released, the distraction will cause him to come down and violate his command. What this means is that Larry needs multiple practice at staying put for longer and longer periods of time until his patience level is sufficient. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that putting a dog on an elevated platform helps reinforce the stay command since the dog has a border and has to cross it by stepping down. One problem is that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have an elevated platform and so you need to train both ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way to start, though.

At two years old, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unreasonable for me to expect Larry to stay put for long periods of time unsupervised.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an area weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working on and my problems are compounded by his love of everyone who walks by.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one way to overcome this, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by working on it.

Dogs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t train themselves and the expenditure of time is required to have a well trained dog. You can hire someone to do it, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need them to train you as well. I think you have a much better dog and a better relationship if you take the time to do the training yourself.

Many training exercises can be better accomplished with short, repeated sessions that generally fit my schedule but training to stay put requires some vigilance on my part. I have to put Larry on stay either on an elevated platform or on the level and monitor his performance. For this training to work best, I need to instantly correct him when he slips and put him back into position.

When I was training Ernie, my dog before Larry, I once put him on stay in the back yard.

The phone rang and I answered it. I got distracted and forgot about

Training collar A few years ago, I wrote a story about the training collar we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found out since then that a company is working on this and they even have prototypes being tested. The collar I want is a collar that keeps the dog within a preset, adjustable distance from the transmitter.

The trainer could then set the distance at three feet to teach the dog to heel or stay and longer distances to keep the dog within range when hunting. This would allow a flushing dog trainer to keep his dog within shooting range at all times without con-

stant verbal or whistle correction. Once the dog learned the correct ranging distance, he could be relied on to not put birds up out of range of the hunter.

This collar would also allow the hunter to lay the transmitter down and put the dog on stay.

If the dog started to get up and walk away, an automatic correction would remind the dog of the stay command and within a short time, the stay command would

be ingrained into the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. Of course there would be an easy to access override that would allow the dog to exceed the set range to retrieve a bird.

A collar like this would be a boon to flushing dog trainers as well as all other dog owners. It would serve as an invisible leash as an underground fence serves as an invisible fence. While it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t legally serve as a leash in areas where leashes

are required, it would train a dog to work perfectly when on a leash.

Come on guys, get this thing on the market.

Like Larry after being on stay for a while, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting impatient.

dog training for a while.

Suddenly, I became concerned that I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen Ernie for a while and remembered Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d told him to stay. It had been two or three hours and he was still patiently sitting exactly where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d left him. I knew he had it figured out.

Learning to stay put is all part of an unending process of training that allows Larry to have privileges most dogs could only dream of. I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different for people; those of us who are adept at dealing with society have better lives. Trained dogs do have to submit themselves to a lot of rules but they reap the rewards of a better life as a result. In the end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it for him and me.

Thorp: Probe may last more than year for UNC

BY GREGORY CHILDRESS Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said Thursday the university’s entanglement with the National Collegiate Athletic Association over agent and academic scandals that have rocked the university in recent months could last more than a year.

Speaking to members of the Board of Governors, Thorp said that while issues with individual players may be resolved a lot sooner, it will take much longer for the university to square matters with the NCAA. “We’re only a little way into the NCAA process, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting close to resolving things for individual players, and I think that’s what people are most interested in,” Thorp said.

The university and the NCAA are investigat-

ing charges that UNC football players received improper benefits from sports agents and improper academic help from a tutor.

Thorp said he has heard from alumni and others who say they wish the process would move faster.

He asked for their patience.

“I know that’s tough information for some people to absorb, but that’s just the situation that we’re in,” said Thorp, who also updated the board on the investigations at its September meeting.

Board members said Thursday that they have heard from alumni and others, some of whom have wondered why the board hasn’t formed a special committee to oversee the investigations.

Former Gov. Jim Holshouser, board member emeritus, said giving authority over athletics to

the universities was one of the first things former President Bill Friday did when the UNC system was established.

Holshouser said that decision has served the university well.

“I think we would do well to leave the jurisdiction on the campus,” Holshouser said.

Thorp reiterated his disappointment that the university is in such a mess with its football team, and again apologized to the board.

“I am upset that this happened to our univer-

SATURDAY EVENING

GRAVES From page B1 program.

The forward, who was suspended for the second half of the 2008-09 season for an unspecified violation of team rules, started 33 of 36 games a year ago and was the Tar Heels’ top returning scorer (9.8 points per game).

“This is a huge blow to our team, but an even bigger blow for Will,” Williams said. “Playing for the Tar Heels meant so much to him.”

Graves, a 6-6 Greensboro native who redshirted in 2006-07, played in 92 games over the past three seasons and scored a total of 513 points.

He had seven 3-pointers and a career-high 25 points in the NIT championship game loss to Dayton in April and was expected to be a significant contributor this season.

Even though Graves had mostly played the three position during his career, he was expected to see plenty of time at the four spot for the Tar Heels this season.

Graves also was the top 3-point shooter a year ago, scoring 73 from beyond the arc, and averaged 4.6 rebounds.

UNC opens its season Oct. 15 with the annual “Late Night with Roy,” which will begin at 8 p.m. in the Smith Center.

Saturday, October 9, 2010 – Thomasville Times – B5

SPORTS Concealed handgun class Oct. 23 TIMES STAFF REPORT 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 687-0290.

‘DOGS From page B1 practice we’ve had all year. This was a great team effort. We had a good mixture offensively and the defense, again, played lights out.”

Momentum wasn’t on the Spartans side very long. Riley made sure of that. The senior needed all of one play to regain the lead as he broke free down the near sideline on first down and simply outran Central defenders for a 66-yard score, surging the Bulldogs back in front to stay, 14-7.

“I figured it would be close but I had no idea we would blow them out,” linebacker Robert Davis said. “When I looked at them on film, I saw they weren’t as good as some of the teams we played in non-conference.”

Matters only worsened for the Spartans from there. Over the next 12 minutes and change, Kesean Green scored from four yards out following a Josh Wright fumble, Nelson connected with Sharaun Mouzone on a 6-yard touchdown and Riley tacked on six more with a short run, as Thomasville went to locker leading big, 34-7.

“When we get both parts of the offense working together we can be pretty good,” Nelson said. “This was a good confidence builder for me going forward over the net couple of games.”

Nelson added his third touchdown pass and second to Mouzone early in the third quarter and Robert Davis scooped up a fumble and rumbled 39 yards for a score minutes later, turning a rout into a downright butt-kicking.

“We practiced hard and we never take any team for granted,” Mouzone said. “I’m not shocked because I’ve got confidence in my team. We come out and play hard.”

Nelson completed all nine of his passes for 171 yards.

Thomasville makes the short trip to East Davidson next Friday night.

He said the “great things” included the hiring of 120 new faculty members, the addition of 5,000 new students and national rankings for being one of the best research universities in America.

“That’s the important work of our university,” Thorp said, “I’m really upset that we’ve gotten bogged down in this over intercollegiate athletics, and the problems, which are important to

a lot of people, but they’re not the primary work of the university.”

UNC system President Erskine Bowles said the leadership at UNC has taken the right approach by being patient, not rushing to judgment and making fact-based decisions.

“I don’t know anybody that’s more disappointed or angrier that this has occurred on campus than Holden is, but he has shown remarkable patience, he hasn’t rushed to judgment and he has made sure he hasn’t jumped to any premature conclusions and he has followed the facts wherever they took us no matter how embarrassing those facts have become,” Bowles said.

While “basics” tailgate grillers spend an average of $441 in groceries per year for their parking lot parties, “gourmet” tailgaters spend an average of $1,001. That’s a lot of special sauce and fancy marinades.

BUSINESS

That’s not what I meant ...

ASK THE COACH

opposite is true as well.

Not only do words hurt, but they also can carry consequences. Some hold onto words and comments spoken until it becomes a belief. It is advantageous to choose our words and speak carefully to each other, as well as to ourselves.

Listen to Understand TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, I find myself saying, “That is not what I meant.” I’m having trouble being understood.

My co-workers often walk away frustrated. I thought I had been helpful with advice, but have heard people say that I am rude, insensitive, and a know-it-all. I need tips on improving my communication skills.

— Misunderstood Dear Misunderstood, A large part of success is determined by our ability to communicate effectively with others. Many times what you are trying to say isn’t heard the way you intended. There is power in the words we use, as well as the delivery of those words or our communication style.

You might remember the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” That is far from the truth.

The five tips below are designed to improve your communication skills.

Choose Your Words

We might not always be aware that some of the words we use are poison. It has been said that life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Words such as “should,” “must,” “have to” and “ought to” can leave us feeling manipulated.

People generally respond to this by withdrawing and shutting down the lines of communication.

Skilled communicators are aware of the effect of the words they use.

We reap what we sow, even in dialogue. When we speak positively, we reap positive rewards.

When we speak encouragingly, we receive encouragement. The

Effective communicators listen primarily to understand the other person’s viewpoint. Most people listen while thinking of their reply, and don’t take the time and effort to listen to understand. When we listen to understand, we have greater influence with others and are able to solve complex problems with clarity and speed.

A recent study identified the benefits for those who learn to listen.

Good listeners are more respected because they have demonstrated concern for others. They also are better informed because active listening results in greater learning. On the contrary, people who do not listen well find few who are willing to share useful information with them.

Listening to understand is listening without your own agenda. It has been called listening with your heart, or empathic listening.

When using this communicative technique, you reflect what a person is saying and feeling in your own words and are not listening to advise, fix, or judge.

The quickest way to defuse a hostile communication is by listening to the other person with the intent to understand them.

Being heard instantly builds confidence and trust. Proverbs 15:1 says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

So why is it so difficult to listen? We think four times faster than we can speak, so it takes concentrated patience to listen.

When our thoughts race ahead of what is being said, we can get sidetracked and miss important information. One way to improve the odds of listening attentively is to lean forward and focus on the person speaking.

Replace Advice with Questions Instead of advising — or assuming you know the answer — ask a question. This will bring clarity to a conversation.

Open-ended questions cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no,” and they encourage the speaker to expand on his or her thoughts. Being genuinely curious will affirm your interest in the person and topic.

Expect Value The best communicators are expecting to hear something great.

They are optimistic listeners who expect the speaker to have something beneficial to say.

They hang on every word and expect to find truth, insight, and wisdom.

Read the Signs Communication includes what is being said, as well as what is not being said.

Words we use make up only about 7 percent of what is being communicated, while 38 percent is how we say it through tone and style, and the remaining 55 percent is body language and nonverbal expressions.

A lot can be observed from paying attention to the other person’s posture and facial expressions. Slowing down, choosing words, asking questions, taking the time to listen with the intent to understand, expecting value to be spoken and reading the signs will serve well in communicating with others.

Tammy Holyfield is an accomplished professional speaker, leadership expert, author and consultant, on a mission to teach and inspire people to improve their everyday life. Her latest book is due on the shelves soon, co-authored with the legendary business development expert, best-selling author and speaker, Brian Tracy. The forthcoming book, “Counter-Attack: Business Strategies for Explosive Growth in the New Economy” will feature Brian Tracy along with leading experts from around the world across diverse fields of business.
