Purdue responds to Dell closure

BY KEVIN REID Times Correspondent

GREENSBORO - N.C. Governor Beverly Perdue said she is determined to make sure that Dell returns all of the money it has received from the state in incentives for locating to a plant in Forsyth County.

“I am not the police of Dell, but I can tell you I will go to bed at night focused on getting back every red cent that Dell received from the state,” Perdue told a gathering of reporters at the Marriott Downtown Hotel on Thursday.

‘I am not the police of Dell, but I can tell you I will go to bed at night focused on getting back every red cent that Dell received from the state.’

— Gov. Bev Perdue At the time of the press conference, Perdue had just finished a speech to members of the N.C. Institute of Medicine, who were holding their Prevention Summit. She said that she spoke with unnamed leaders of Dell on Wednesday, when the computer giant announced it

was closing the desktop manufacturing plant and laying off its 905 employees.

“The first thing I said to them was that we wanted every dollar of our incentives back, and that they had to ante-up,” Perdue recalled. “They’re very willing to do that, and they’re

willing to give good benefits to the employees who are losing their jobs.”

Dell had been offered almost $280 million in incentives, including about $37 million from Forsyth County and WinstonSalem, to locate the 750,000 square-foot manufacturing plant near U.S. 311. At this point, Dell only has received a fraction of that amount.

“I asked hard questions,” the governor continued. “I said, ‘Was there anything that North Carolina could have done dif-

Gun, knife show finds new home in Chair City

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thanks to some quick thinking and perfect timing, Thomasville will be the hub for avid gun and knife owners next weekend.

Kenneth Cupp and his son, Brandon, have been actively involved in the annual Triad Gun and Knife Show that usually takes place in Lexington. But when problems arose with finding the show a suitable location, the Cupps, who bought the rights to the event two years ago, thought the plug may have to be pulled. That’s when Ken Hepler, Thomasville’s planning and zoning administrator, stepped with an idea — have the show in the Chair City.

“It used to be the Lexington Gun Show,” Kenneth Cupp said. “In Lexington, we couldn’t find any place

Benefits may come to former TFI workers

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Some workers who have been laid off by Thomasville Furniture Industries may be eligible for addtional assistance from the North Carolina Employment Security Commission.

ESC Chairman Moses Carey Jr. announced last month that workers who lost their jobs when TFI closed its satellite warehouse in Winston-Salem have been certified eligible to receive special assistance in finding new jobs or entering

training programs. The U.S. Department of Labor approved a Trade Adjustment Assistance petition that provides special benefits to workers who were laid off or had hours reduced because their employer was adversely affected by increased imports or services from other countries, or if there was a shift in production/supply of services to other countries.

“If somebody across the country loses their job from a facility of three or more in size, because of foreign trade, they can file a petition with Department

Community Sponsor

of Labor for trade assistance,” ESC spokesperson Andy James said. “If [DOL] certifies that those jobs were indeed lost due to foreign trade, then the people are eligible for these different types of things.”

Eligible recipients may receive benefits that include the cost of up to three years in a training program, including books and fees, up to 156 weeks of weekly unemployment allowances while attending training, job search and relocation

‘If [DOL] certifies that those jobs were indeed lost due to foreign trade, then the people are eligible for these different type of things.’

What’s Inside

Incentive figures misleading, Googe says

BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer Dell announced Wednesday that it will close its Winston-Salem plant, laying off 905 employees.

About 600 of those workers will be released next week, the company said, and the closure is expected to be completed in January.

According to the Associated Press, when Dell came to Forsyth County in 2005, studies estimated that it would employ 1,500 people, generate about 500 more related jobs, and have a $24.5 billion economic impact over 20 years. The combined state and local incentive packages were worth up to $318 million in tax breaks and grants. Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission said that this figure is misleading.

“That’s over 20 years, and it’s paid on items shipped,” he said. “That’s the whole premise of the incentive. If they ship 1,000 units, then they get a certain number of dollars. If they ship 500 units, they get half of that. If they ship nothing, they get nothing.”

Dell said it would comply with the terms of incentive agreements, and Googe said that such contracts typically require the company to forfeit the package if set standards are not met. When Davidson County offers incentives to businesses, it is careful to include similar terms.

“We do prepare for this type of thing,” Googe said. “That’s why you see that most of our incentives are spread over a five-year period.”

He said that the county typically only gives out about 40 to 50 percent of what it announces, either because companies don’t qualify for the incentives in a particular year or they don’t bother applying for them. Most of its incentives also go to existing industries rather than new ones.

“Our focus has been on companies in the $5 million to $20 million range in sales, and maybe 50 to 150 employees — privately owned, family-owned businesses,” Googe said.

“Clearly, growth from jobs is coming from smaller companies, not larger companies. All the larger companies are downsiz-

Right now we have 250 tables in Thomasville. The show had been in Lexington for 15 years. We’ve had as many as 3,300 people attend. Last year, we lost count at around 3,000.”

Hepler thought the old Food Lion building on National Highway could serve as an ideal location for an event that annually attracts thousands of gun and knife owners from

FROM PAGE A1 across the state, resulting in a potential economic splash for the city. Hepler put the Cupp’s in contact with the proper people to make the weekend show happen.

“That’s what we’re here for,” said Hepler. “[Kenneth] called me a while back and indicated that he couldn’t set up in Lexington anymore. He asked me if I knew of a good location in Thomasville.

Anything that is going to promote Thomasville and bring a lot of people here to eat in our restaurants or stay the night, we’re going to support. My first thought was the old Food Lion. It’s a big vacant

building that could use the attention. I got him in contact with the folks that own it and that’s all I did. Somebody that is legitimate and needs help, we welcome them to our city.”

On Oct. 17-18, the Triad Gun and Knife Show will bring thousands of visitors to Thomasville for the two-day event. Cupp said similar shows have been a big hit in the past year as gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed. Cupp said ammunition is in extremely short supply as manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand.

“People are really col-

The show will run from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and 9-4 on Sunday. General admission will cost $7. Around the clock security will be provided

by Thomasville Police Department and Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office. All vendors must have state permits to take part in the show, located at Midway Plaza on National Highway.

Max’s adventures in Wonderland VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist For Philistines like me, the mysteries of Washington can be both perplexing and wondrous. If you’ve been watching noted alchemist Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., conjure up health care gold this week, you probably know what I mean.

Mercifully, House and Senate Democrats recently blocked amendments that would have required health care bills to be posted online for 72 hours before a committee vote, sparing us the needless irritation of grappling with fancy facts about the most consequential piece of legislation in recent memory.

No need to get into the weeds for you and me. No way. Just think of legislation as abstract art. The Congressional Budget Office does.

The CBO’s new estimate, which magically meets every one of President Barack Obama’s preconditions, is based on “conceptual” language provided

by Baucus rather than on any of those maddeningly specific Arabic numerals.

That’s because the estimate isn’t rooted in an actual bill per se, nor does it incorporate hundreds of amendments that will be part of any final product -- well, not exactly ... What we do have is a CBO that has been browbeaten long enough by the White House to finally summon the conviction to get a figure that so many wanted to hear.

It’s also, believe it or not, free.

According to the CBO, the Senate plan -- which actually would cost more than earlier estimates, rising from nearly $800 billion to $829 billion (or $904 billion, according to a number of economists) -- has triggered many excited journalists and politicians to claim that the bill miraculously would “pay for itself.”

The CBO says that not only would it pay for itself -- and this part is really wonderful -- but also the government’s spending an additional $829 billion over the next 10 years would reduce the federal deficit by $81 billion.

How exactly does health care “reform” pay for itself in Wonderland? In this case, it pays for itself by charging taxpayers new “fees,” delivering new mandates

and penalties, adding passthrough costs, and cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare.

As you know, if there’s anything old folks -- already prone to irascibility from time to time -- absolutely adore it’s the prospect of cutting their Medicare benefits. Yet even those savings seem to defy reality.

One of the many assumptions in the Baucus plan is that there would be continual cuts in physician reimbursements, cuts that Congress never has allowed and precious few onlookers believe would be politically palatable. So without a major attitude adjustment in Washington, this savings is just fantasy, as well.

Not to worry, though, there are sure things. One of the most popular and cost-effective programs, Medicare Advantage, would take a hit of $117 billion through 2019.

That might seem somewhat mysterious to you. Then again, Medicare Advantage involves private insurance firms (a curse on their house!), which should be squashed like a cockroach.

CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf previously warned that Medicare Advantage payment cuts would have the potential to hurt seniors’ private health plans, which, of course, is the point of “reform.”

The most exhilarating aspect of this plan, however, isn’t that it would do nothing to contain costs for average consumers; it’s that average consumers would help pay for it long before they failed to receive any tangible benefits.

According to Democrats, health care reform must be passed this very moment even though it wouldn’t kick in until 2013. Don’t worry; it would start taxing Americans in 2010, three years before you got nothing.

All of this probably adds up to the most expensive dependency program yet devised.

Coming at a time when the nation has hit 9.8 percent unemployment, with no help from Washington in sight, the latest Pew Research Center survey on the health care issue claims that “more people now generally oppose the health care reform proposals in Congress (47 percent) than favor them (34 percent).”

That 47 percent just doesn’t believe. They don’t believe higher taxes would bring down costs. They don’t believe that more spending could shrink the deficit. They can’t believe that fees wouldn’t be taxes. Or that an entitlement program, for the first time in history, would pay for itself.

What they do believe in is reality.

Mystery of ‘Forty Crossings’ solved THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Starting with today’s column, “More of This-NThat” will appear every other Saturday. The size will be reduced to around 800 words, plus or minus. Due to the length of the column, Lisa Wall, the Editor, had trouble fitting the column in, so we’re making it shorter but you will see it more often.

We’re reducing from around 1,200-1,300 words to the shorter column. But, keep in mind; it will appear every other Saturday. Hope you will continue to enjoy them.

••• The mystery of the name “Forty Crossings” might be solved. I had a man call me with some information on the intersection of Johnsontown Road and Lake Road which is commonly called Forty Crossings. Eugene Jenkins had a wealth of information on the subject.

From the information he had gathered, two dirt roads, Johnsontown and Lake Road crossed C.A. Trotter’s farm.

Johnsontown Road had a hill and curve at the intersection.

Mr. Trotter had road building equipment and a mule and according to information, he built roads. Mr. Trotter didn’t like the road approach so he built a new approach for Lake Road about “forty” feet south of Johnsontown Road. Thus the name “Forty Crossings.” Others speculate that Mr. Trotter didn’t want his farm to become a part of

Johnsontown, so he named the intersection, “Forty Crossing.” Sounds good to me — mystery solved!

Other information is that Charlie built what is now a city street known as Trotter Street. After he built Trotter Street, information is that he then built rent houses on lots on that street. I am told that some of those houses still stand.

Thanks to Eugene for sharing the information with me.

He gave me some tips on other future stories of interest.

••• Well, Gayle and I continue to spend our children’s inheritance. (Well, not really, we were able to use “Sky Miles” for our air fare.)

We flew into Jackson Hole, Wyoming, rented a car and took off. Our first stop for a couple of nights was in Driggs, Idaho, a town about the size of Denton. Hotels in Driggs were a lot cheaper than Jackson. Driggs is where a lot of those Idaho potatoes are grown. We drove back and forth to Jackson on the beautiful Grand Teton Pass, a beautiful scenic view of the Teton mountain range.

On our way out of Driggs, Gayle got to see a moose and her baby cross the road in front of us. She’s got a photo to prove it. When we were in Vermont a number of years ago, we saw “Moose Crossing” signs but never saw a moose. That year, in lieu of a moose, she had her photo made in front of the “Moose Crossing” sign. That is why she was so excited to see two.

I’m not going to bore you with other travel stories.

But it was a great trip. The mountains out there look as if God had an artist sculpturing the red mountains. Beautiful! I suppose God did the sculpturing at the time of the creation.

••• To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special

appearance on Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was “My Favorite Things” from the movie “Sound of Music” Here are the lyrics she used. If you sing it, sing it to the tune of “My Favorite Things.”

“Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string. These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillac’s and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, when the bones creak, when the knees go bad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin’, Thin bones and fractures and hair that is “thinning,” And we won’t mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, when the hips break, when the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I’ve had, And then I don’t feel so bad.”

Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes, and repeated encores.

That’s it for this time, My next column will be on Oct. 24. In the meantime, be kind to one another!

FROM PAGE A1 DELL From page A1 ferently?’ They said there was not one single thing that North Carolina did that made this decision happen. It was about their business plan, their enterprise.”

“I probed again,” Perdue continued. “I said, ‘Why did you choose North Carolina?’ he said, ‘Governor, it’s because we have a huge investment here that isn’t working.

Our whole business model is changing,’ so I have to take Dell at its word.”

Since Dell located to Forsyth County in 2005, the popularity of desktop computers has dropped, the country has gone into a severe recession and U.S. manufacturing plants continue to close as manufacturers seek cheaper labor costs in foreign countries.

When asked if this significant plant closing “dampened” her enthusiasm on incentives, Perdue, who said she anticipated the question, pulled out some notes.

“Right now, in this mar-

ing.”

Large businesses sometimes are drawn to Davidson County in the process, he said, but the EDC does not try to focus on them. The agency recently changed its incentive requirements to allow smaller businesses and those already located in the county to receive funds. Businesses that invest $50,000 or more — half of the previous amount — in real or business personal property will be able to receive economic development grants if they meet job and wage requirements.

The change was made partially in response to a plea by County Commissioner Sam Watford

allowances and a health coverage tax credit. The average cost of an agency approved two-year training program in the state is between $5,000 and $6,000.

“This helps them, more than anything, in retraining so they can get a job in a different area so this won’t happen again,” said James. “The whole program is for anybody that lost their job due to foreign trade. North Carolina has the most workers affected by foreign trade in the entire country.”

Workers 50 years or older also may be eligible for the Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance program — an alternative for older workers who want to return to a job. Laid off workers also could receive additional employment benefits, as-

ket, we’ve got a lot of examples of incentives that work,” she said. “Check out HondaJet and Mack Truck. Didn’t they get incentives? They’re alive and well and they’re going to prosper. Many companies that are here because of incentives are chugging along very well in a global economy, so the fact that the Dell company is leaving is not synonymous with incentives. It is standard across America and North Carolina has been a part of that standard.”

The final question on that subject at Perdue’s brief press conference was whether she would consider offering a similar incentive package if a major computer company “knocked on the door.”

“If Google knocked on the door or if Apple knocked on the door, yes I would,” the governor replied. “If Dell came to me and said, ‘We’re going to change the factory here. We’re going to make it into a laptop/personal handheld device computer factory. Do you want us to say?’ I’d say, ‘In a skinny minute.’”

to help attract and keep small businesses, but also looking forward to an upcoming change in sales tax distribution, Googe said. Starting next year, sales tax will be given to communities based on the point of sale rather than population, making it even more important for people to shop locally.

“We thought that by doing this, it may motivate some people that were interested in doing retail type operations,” he said. “To our knowledge — and we looked around quite a bit — nobody else in the state of North Carolina has done that with a focus on assisting retail with incentives.”

sistance for retraining, relocation or job search allowances, Health Care Tax Credit, and Reemployment Trade Adjusted Assistance (RTAA) under the Trade Act program.

“RTAA is an additional alternative for older folks who may have a hard time finding a job at a certain income level,” James said. “It provides an income supplement over two years up to $10,000. If they were making $45,000 a year and they take a job making $35,000 a year, with income assistance it won’t make up the whole amount but it will make up some of it with the idea that they will do well enough at their job that they can make it up over that time.”

Downing ďŹ nds joy in ministry

BY KEVIN REID Times Correspondent

In the early fall of 1977, Daniel Downing, who was then a student at Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible School and College in Cincinnati, was depressed. His depression would eventually lead to a lifetime of joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was studying to go into education when, at the beginning of my senior year, I actually went through quite a spell of depression,â&#x20AC;? Downing remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea why, but I did more praying than usual and spent a lot of quiet time with God. I began to feel His leadership into preaching and pastoral ministry.â&#x20AC;?

Downingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call into the ministry led to a journey that took him from his native Ohio to Heath Church in Lexington. On Oct. 18, Heath Church will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Downing becoming its pastor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dan has been a wonderful pastor,â&#x20AC;? said Bruce Johnson, who has been a member of Heath Church for over 20 of those years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These last 20-odd years that we have been at Heath Church have given us a wonderful experience. Our family has enjoyed watching the church grow under his leadership.â&#x20AC;?

The growth in the size of the congregation has been consistent throughout the past 12 years, as the size of the congregation tripled, and was extremely fast in the early years in which Downing was its pastor, but the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s was a time of turmoil within the Heath Church congregation that led to a mass exodus.

The non-denominational church was founded in 1956 as Heath Community Church, named for its location in the community called Heath, located slightly east of Lexington, off U.S. 64. It was founded by Christians who chose strict values that governed their lifestyles, such as strict dress code and no television.

The church doubled in attendance during Downingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first five years at its pulpit. But then came growing pains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was quite a strong element of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oldschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conservatism in the church,â&#x20AC;? Downing recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were wonderful people overall, but they just averse to any change. When we started getting all these new people in the church, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I could insist that some of these old-school traditional-lifestyle issues were biblical and were necessary.â&#x20AC;?

Many in the congregation disagreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During a short period in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, we had 375 regular attendees leave the church,â&#x20AC;? Downing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These were good people, who had been our dear friends and they took their pocketbooks and their wallets with them.â&#x20AC;?

Downing, who found himself preaching to Sunday-service gatherings of 30 people or less at one point, had more to

Daniel Downing, pastor of Heath Community Church in Lexington, will celebrate his 25th pastoral anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 18. worry about than losing friends.

After the church had grown so fast, a new sanctuary was built in 1986.

The mortgage to pay off this sanctuary had not gone down just because the attendance had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can imagine what an emotional stress that was,â&#x20AC;? Downing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I offered to leave and actually resigned, but there was another core group who was begging, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave us now.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Johnson, who was part of that core group, had actually known Downing when the future minister was a first-grader at Peniel Christian School in Beach City, Ohio. Millard Downing, Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, was running the school in those days. The elder Downing was also a minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that there have been discouraging times for Dan, but, at the same time, he overcame that discouragement through

the help of the Lord,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a big part of his success is because of the way he was raised. His parents were very devout Christians and made sure their children stayed on the paths they needed to be on.â&#x20AC;?

Not only did Daniel Downing follow his father into the ministry, as well as education, he and his wife, Marilyn, were also extremely dedicated to raise their children carefully and with plenty of Christian guidance.

Marilyn Downing, who later became a nurse, was a stay-at-home mother when daughters, Dana, Danelle and DeLinda, and son, Daniel Jr., were growing up. Daniel Sr. has no regrets over that, even if there were financial sacrifices. Today DeLinda is active with Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York while the other three children, plus Marilyn play important roles

at Heath Church â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as volunteers.

The Downing family also sings together and travels the Carolinas as a Southern Gospel group.

Daniel Sr., who obtained his Masters in Social Science and Leadership Studies from Azusa Pacific University in 2003, also works at J.C. Green Funeral Home.

Daniel Jr. heads up the youth outreach ministry of Heath Church. The ministry was founded

by Ronnie Gillikin, who guided its early growth before stepping aside because of health issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Wednesday nights there are from 75 to 125 community teenagers at our church,â&#x20AC;? Rev. Downing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them are at-risk teens, who have a dysfunctional home life or other issues.

Some of them are now coming to our services on

Sundays - and some even bring their parents.â&#x20AC;?

Downing stressed the need Heath Church has for a multi-purpose building to serve as a family life center so that it can continue to enhance its youth outreach program.

His wife and daughters are constantly going out into the community to recruit teens to participate in this program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family is the most important thing to me in the world,â&#x20AC;? Downing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deeply humbled, exceedingly grateful and just overwhelmed that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all grown up to serve God and to be very active in the church on a volunteer basis.â&#x20AC;?

The experienced minister was quick to point out that there are other dedicated volunteers in the Heath Church congregation. Only one charter member is left, Cheryl Miller, the daughter-in-law of Eli Miller, who originally contacted Rev. Downing about moving from the Midwest to become pastor of Heath Church. The congregation now has about 175 members. The mortgage on the sanctuary has been paid in full and the church has also built a 350-seat auditorium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may not be the biggest church in the county or the wealthiest, but we are the friendliest,â&#x20AC;?

Downing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a warm group of people.â&#x20AC;?

Downing will not be preaching during the morning and evening services of Oct. 18, but he will be singing alongside his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not ask for a finer congregation of wonderful people with whom to work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get accolades for staying at a church for 25 years, but it is a two-waystreet. The congregation certainly deserves the thanks and the gratitude every bit as much, if not more, than I.â&#x20AC;?

RELIGION

Pastor appreciation VIEWPOINT

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

I don’t know of too many jobs where you have to work twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week, except for pastors. When tragedy strikes we want our pastors to be there. It might be said that we expect them to be there. We want them to bring us words of comfort to help sustain us through the trials and difficulties of life. We want them to help us understand and deal with whatever life throws our way.

We all have fond memories of our pastors from different times in our lives. In childhood, they help to shape our image of God and begin to plant the first seeds of faith.

They tell us the stories from the scriptures and help us build the foundation upon which we build our relationship with God. It’s important as a child to experience the love from our pastor as we begin to nurture the idea that God is love.

When we become adults we look to our pastors for the guidance we need to make major life decisions. Where will we go to college? What career should we pursue so we can serve God best with out lives? Then we seek their guidance as we choose a mate and ask them to stand with us as we make the commitment of marriage. We hope their prayers and blessings will help to

keep our families safe.

Later in our lives we look to their love and comfort as we face personal health issues.

When God seems far away we want them to help us understand.

As we face the passing of loved ones we want them to be there comforting and supporting us. We lean on them, depend upon them as our families face the trials of daily life and the difficulties of aging.

Not only do we look to pastors to guide us through the stages of life, we hope that they will help us develop and grow spiritually. We want them to challenge us to dig deeper, to discover our hidden abilities, to overcome and conquer.

Pastors are called to help us learn about and develop our spiritual gifts.

They are called to help us understand our purpose in the body of Christ and then to equip us to fulfill our destiny in God. We depend upon our pastors to be there for us in every situation.

We know that they will drop everything for us when we face a crisis.

We expect them to challenge and inspire us to a deeper and a more meaningful walk with God. We expect an awful lot from these men and women who lead our congregations. But I wonder how often we stop and think about the fact that these men and women are just like us. They have the same needs and desires. They want and need to be encouraged in their spiritual walks.

They suffer tragedies and losses and need someone to be there for them. They walk through dark and lonely times and sometimes desperately hope that someone will walk beside them.

Pastors are people. Pastors struggle with sin,

they experience doubts, and they sometimes wonder if they are making a positive difference in your life. We need pastors, but pastors need us.

They need to know that their sermons are touching us and challenging us to deeper spiritual growth. They need us to be there for them when they face trials and difficult times. They need us to pray for them, to cover their families with our love and support.

This is Pastor Appreciation Month. You have depended on them for so much in your life; take a few moments to let them know how much you appreciate their input into your life. Let them know what a difference their hard work has made. Step out and serve in your congregation so that they can see the fruit of their labor. Look for ways to encourage, honor, and bless them and their families for their many sacrifices.

I want to encourage you to find a special way this month to thank your pastor in a personal way for the blessing he or she has been in your life. You wouldn’t be where you are spiritually without the encouragement you have received from them.

So take this opportunity to both encourage and bless these servants for all the sacrifices they have made for you and your family. For every pastor who is reading these words, I want to thank you for all that you have done and for all that you have yet to do.

May God’s blessings fill your cup to overflowing.

Memorial United Methodist plans 50th annual Finch Preaching Mission TIMES STAFF REPORT

This year will mark the 50th annual Finch Preaching Mission sponsored by Memorial United Methodist Church.

Memorial is honored to have the Rev. Dr. Clifton C. Black, a native of Thomasville, join its congregation for this commemorative year.

The Rev. Dr. Black will begin this year’s preaching series on Sunday, Oct. 18 with two sermons, one at 11 a.m. and one at 7 p.m. There will also be sermons on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. at the church located at 101 Randolph Street in Thomasville.

It is truly remarkable that 49 years ago Memorial United Methodist Church started the Finch Preaching Mission, and has brought to Thomasville each year some of the world’s most dynamic and effective pulpit personalities.

The Finch Preaching Missions is made possible by a foundation established by the late Doak and Agnes Finch.

When Doak and Agnes Finch started the Finch Preaching Mission it was their hope that it would

provide a source of spiritual enrichment for the whole community and that their children and others would be inspired.

The mission’s intent remains ecumenical in nature and brings people of all faiths together in worship to hear outstanding speakers from all over the world. Preachers for the mission have included Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and United Methodist leaders. dBlack is the Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology and former chairman of the Department of Biblical Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, and an ordained elder of word and sacrament in The United Methodist Church.

Black was born in 1955 in High Point, NC. He and his wife Harriet who is also a Thomasville native have one daughter, Caroline Elizabeth, a student at Kenyon College.

His education background includes degrees in religion and theology from Wake Forest University, the University of Bristol, Emory University and Duke University.

Prior to his appointment at Princeton, Dr. Black served in the Dept. of Religion and Classics at

the University of Rochester and on the biblical faculty at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University.

Dr. Black has hinted at some very interesting sermon titles for the series, Sunday morning – “Don’t Just Do Something, Lie Down”; Sunday evening – “So Much for Merit Badges”; Monday evening – “Thank God You’re Sick” and Tuesday evening – “Christian Ignorance and the Big Surprise.”

Director of Music at Memorial, Mr. Bill Cates has arranged a variety of music including on Sunday evening George W. Smith, Jr. & the Zionettes from Union Chapel AME Zion Church, Churchland, NC. On Monday evening “One Way Home” from Lexington, NC will provide contemporary/sacred music and on Tuesday Memorial’s own Praise Team will have “Old Time Gospel” style music and each evening at 6:45 p.m. Congregational hymns, directed

by Dr. Tom Smith with many old standards and favorite hymns will take place each evening from 6:45 – 7:00. The church members will also provide nursery services each evening.

SOUTHMONT — Thomasville is finally starting to enjoy Friday nights.

In the Bulldogs Central Carolina 2-A Conference opener against Central Davidson, the defense pitched a shut-out in THS’ 21-0 victory over the Spartans.

With two wins in a row, the Bulldogs are starting to find some things that work on both sides of the ball and, following a rough four-game losing streak, are right where they need to be with conference play in full swing.

“I told them we’ve been playing out of a hole all year,” THS coach Allen Brown said. “If we could win [this game] for the first time, we’d be ahead. It’s really big for us psychologically. If we had lost it would put our backs to the wall again.

This gets it away from the wall a little bit. Success breeds success.”

What worked Friday night was a whole lot of Kesean Green running behind an improved effort from the offensive line. The junior broke two long scoring runs on the way to 184 yards, giving the defense more than enough offense to

work with.

CDHS’ wing-T offense may have worried Brown before the game, but the defense didn’t show it as the Bulldogs wreaked

havoc on the Spartans ground game, allowing just eight first downs.

“They were there all night,” said Brown. “I was really proud of the way they adjusted to the

Wing-T. We haven’t seen a lot of it. They were terrific.”

Trailing by 14, the Spartans had a chance midway through the final quarter with the ball at the THS 5-yard line. A penalty and a sack wasted that opportunity and the Bulldogs took over following a failed fourth down conversion. It took THS less than a minute to break Central’s back, as Green broke an 87-yard touchdown run around the right side that sealed the deal.

“The offensive line really stepped it up for me,” Green said. “I just followed Lawrence Thomas.

We had to step it up. I wanted to come out and do my best and help our team win. Now we’re 1-0 on the conference.”

An opening quarter dominated by defense turned offensive with less than two minutes to go when Green burst through a right-side hole 55 yards to the end zone.

Lawson Hodges’ PAT put the Bulldogs ahead 7-0 with 1:12 remaining in the first quarter.

With the running game established and the defense in full control, Sam Nelson started making play downfield with the

East notches win over Lexington

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson head coach Bryan Lingerfelt sure liked the sound of being 1-0 in the Central Carolina Conference after Friday night.

His Golden Eagles pushed around the Lexington Yellow Jackets, doubling them in time of possession en route to a surprising 17-7 win in the conference opener on Homecoming.

“With the distractions Lingerfelt of Homecoming and everything, our kids did it right and were focused on the game,” said Lingerfelt. “We finished tonight.

Offensively we are coming around and hopefully we can keep improving.”

Lexington (3-4) had come back to tie the score after trailing 7-0 through one half of play.

Lexington got its offense on track to start the second half, using its speed on the outside. Quandarius Crump scored from five yards out, tying the game with 7:46 to play in the third.

The East faithful had little to worry about with the change of events, as Dylan Gallimore would find the end zone to put TIMES PHOTO/LARRY MATHIS

Blue Devils hope to snap losing streak to State

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — A reporter asked Duke coach David Cutcliffe earlier in the week whether he had mentioned the Blue Devils’ 11-game losing streak against N.C. State to his team heading into today’s trip to Carter-Finley Stadium (4 p.m., ESPNU).

“We’re at a point where if we focused on that particular area too much every week, it would probably depress us all,” Cutcliffe said. “We’re behind in a lot of series in recent times.”

Nowhere has that reality been more painful than close to home, where even in its darkest days the Duke program has acquitted itself well — everywhere except in the win column.

Seven of Duke’s 11 losses to the Wolfpack have been by no more than a touchdown. The Blue Devils also carry a nine-game losing streak against Wake Forest that includes six losses by a touchdown.

Then there’s the North Carolina series. Duke has dropped 18 of the past 19 meetings, even though

six of the most recent seven have come down to the final possession.

“Coming close over and over and over,” Cutcliffe said, “really doesn’t do anything for you in the

UNC-GA. SOUTHERN PREVIEW SEE PAGE B5 long term.”

So Cutcliffe, while as focused as possible on today’s game, also is focused on the long-term, on figuring out how to go beyond snapping a losing streak in a series only to have an opponent start

another one.

For starters, he’s winning more and more battles locally that don’t show up in the win-loss record — at least not directly. Cutcliffe and his coaching staff are making serious in-roads when it comes to recruiting the state of North Carolina.

Duke has nine true freshmen who played high school football instate and have verbal commitments from eight more for the class of 2010.

By contrast, the four recruiting classes before Cutcliffe arrived totaled 10 in-state commitments.

In addition, every day spent with Duke’s current players includes some form of emphasis on the future.

“It’s important to keep that in mind, the big picture as far as our program moving in the right direction,” Cutcliffe said.

“My goal is to always win the ballgame and prepare well, but my larger goal is getting better. We got better against Virginia Tech — physically better — and we needed to pick that up on Tuesday and Wednesday and take an-

King wins again at Caraway TIMES STAFF REPORT It’s getting to be an all to common theme, but Clint King’s on track success continues as he picked up his fourth win in the Late Model Trucks and second at Caraway Speedway.

King’s success as a rookie in full-fendered stock cars has been incredible as the 14-year old driver has turned in some impressive efforts for four wins this season.

His first win came in a PASS Truck Series race at Coastal Plains Raceway earlier this season when the young driver was still 13-years old and since turning 14, he’s racked up three more victories with two at Caraway and one at Hickory Motor Speedway.

His most recent win came during the second of twin 25-lap races on the famed Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, NC where the young driver started sixth in the first feature due to a rule that forces a previous race winner to start no better than sixth.

The sixth place start proved to be difficult for

EAST From page B1

the Golden Eagles up a touchdown. He took the toss from Warren over the left side and scampered in from nine yards out. Warren’s PAT made it 14-7.

“Good ole reliable Gallimore just kept grinding it out for us and that is what we wanted to do,” Lingerfelt said. “We take three downs and get 10 yards – we love that kind of offense.”

While that drive and score was important, it was a field goal by Taylor Warren that proved to be the key moment.

Warren usually has the spotlight off of himself with Gallimore getting the bulk of the offensive plays, but he took center stage with 3:31 left in the game.

With the Golden Eagles up by seven, Warren lined up for a 28-yard field goal attempt. The play almost never evolved with a bad snap to holder Blake Dodd. But the junior got the hold down and Warren lifted the lofty kick just through the uprights, sending East to a 10-point lead they would not relinquish.

“That made it a two possession game and was crucial for us,” said Lingerfelt. “Blake did a good job getting it down and Taylor kept his composure to make the field goal.

“We’ll enjoy it about

ROLLS From page B1 THS passing game. During the Bulldogs second possession of the second quarter, the southpaw completed two key third down passes before connecting with Brandon Lucas on a 25-yard post route for a score.

Central Davidson, despite not picking up a first down until its final drive of the half, had a chance to make things interesting going to intermission.

The Spartans drove down to the Bulldogs 20-yard line with less than 20 seconds to go in the half, but

the young driver despite picking up a couple positions early, he was caught up in a wreck involving two of the front running trucks causing significant damage to the nose of his truck.

King, however, persevered through the rest of the short race despite front end damage causing the engine temperatures to rise and making it an ill-handling truck.

The team made repairs between the races and had Clint ready to go back to challenging for a win in the second feature.

With an inversion for the start of the second race, Clint would start on the outside of the front row, which encouraged the team to get the repairs made and get Clint back out on the track.

The front row start proved to be a great place for Clint to start as Clint jumped out front and led every lap of the 25-lap race despite some strong challenges from veteran driver Gene Kepley, a previous winner at Caraway.

Clint kept his truck out front using the outside line to maintain the lead,

but King knew this win had to be dedicated to the direction of Crew Chief Ricky Bryant and the hard work of the crew between races.

“My crew deserves all the credit for this win, because if it wasn’t for their work in between races there’s no way we could have won this race,” said Clint following his win.

“Everyone of these guys put in 100 percent effort and they are the reason we won this race.”

Clint’s fourth win was special, but he’s already thinking about his fifth win as the team will return to Caraway Speedway in Asheboro again this coming Saturday night for another night of twin 25-lap races.

“I really like this track and I think we can pick up another win next week.

It’s going to be tough against this caliber of competition and starting from the sixth position is going to make it even harder.” .It makes the fact that we’ve won two races here already this season something we can really be proud of.”

five minutes and then we will be worrying about Thomasville already,” Lingerfelt said with a big smile.

In typical East fashion, the Golden Eagles chewed up time and yards on its initial drive of the game, as Gallimore and Malcolm Wimmer ran the ball right at the teeth of the Lexington defense. Gallimore broke loose for a 33-yard gain on the drive that moved the ball to the 30 of the Yellow Jackets. Much like its game against Ledford two weeks ago, though, a dominating drive yielded no points, as the offense stalled and Warren missed a 33-yard field goal wide left.

There would be no lapses the next time around after the defense of the Golden Eagles held.

Starting from its own 46, the Eagles used nine plays to reach the end zone, aided by a key pass interference penalty flagged against the Yellow Jackets.

The crucial call occurred on first down with EDHS at the Lexington 34. The penalty moved it to the 19, where Warren hit Blake Dodd out in the flat two plays later for a 14-yard strike with 9:05 showing in the second quarter.

East would keep that lead heading into the half.

Gallimore carried the ball 34 times for 177 yards and the one score. Lexington’s quick duo of Al Challenger and Crump

were held to 114 yards combined on the ground.

Dodd would add an interception on the final play.

East lineman Dean Small, Daniel Morgan, Allen Godbolt, Justin Hulin, Elliot Springfield and Dustin Sipes were solid all night long.

“Those guys do not ever get their name in the paper, but they did a great job for us up front,” said Lingerfelt.

Isaiah Williams picked off a Kirk Brown pass at the THS 10 and raced 90 yards the other way for an apparent touchdown.

A block in the back penalty nullified the score, however, and the Bulldogs went to the locker room up 14-0.

The Dog Days of sermons OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist I, as a sensible person, appreciate air conditioning as much as anyone. There is little I miss about being hot and sweaty for three months of the year.

There are, however, fond memories of life before mainstream cooling.

As a boy, I remember how Boyles Bottling used to send a cold, 6 ounce Coke to every student of Hasty Elementary School on a really hot day every year before school let out in spring.

I also miss hearing the sounds of singing coming out of the church if you happened to be outside and within hearing distance. My fondest memory, however, is of church fans that were donated by local funeral homes and the open windows in summer.

Some of the churches had screens, some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and the missing screens did allow for entertainment value. I can recall particularly dry sermons being spiced up a bit by a Japanese hornet or wasp coming in through the window and creating a little fear among the faithful. More than

one time, a sermon was interrupted when the preacher realized that the offending insect was getting more attention from the crowd than he and his sermon.

On trips with Uncle Evander, we normally attended the church closest to where we were staying. I assume Evander realized that I needed some churching and we attended, providing the wind wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blowing in the right direction for fish or the blues werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t running. I remember attending the Kure Beach Baptist Church. I also remember the little Baptist church in Frisco, North Carolina, on Hatteras Island, where they had a heated Baptistery. I remember this because one Sunday the preacher forgot to turn the heater off and stood sweating in his fishing waders during the whole sermon. The most interesting incident happed at the little white plank church with a tin roof called East Lake Baptist Church.

Pastor Everett Peacock was a long time fishing buddy of Evander, and when we went fishing or hunting with Everett, we always went and heard him preach on Sunday morning. On this particular Sunday there was a visiting preacher there named Dr. Alvin Copley. Doctor Copley was nothing like plain spoken, humble Everett.

He was tall, and well dressed with slicked back hair and a severe countenance. I only saw him smile a couple of times over the weekend and then he had the look

of a man who was only pretending to smile.

Dr. Copleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was about as stiff as his shirt collar and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone out in the boat the night before to put some set hooks in the river and I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten enough sleep. Dr. Copleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monotonous voice and how he was constantly using himself as an example of how to lead a proper Christian life could have put a man with 20 cups of coffee to sleep.

My sweaty head dipped and bobbed and when I caught my head dipping, I pretended to be nodding in agreement.

When the shiny black Labrador retriever came in through the open church door, nobody seemed to notice her except one little boy sitting in his Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap. As she slowly walked by, he leaned over and stroked her head, then down her back, and finally her tail as she passed. She acted as though she was entitled to be stroked by little boys and pretended not to notice. Three pews from the front on the right side she sat down beside a clean shaven man in a grey suit.

The distraction immediately had an effect on Dr. Copley. The monotonous drone of his voice wavered slightly and he lost the cadence.

He looked straight at the dog and then cast an inquisitive look to the usher standing in the foyer. The usher seemed not to notice.

At this point, I was wide awake. This was

something that could hold onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest.

Dr Copley continued to preach, but he was clearly distracted. After a couple of minutes, he paused and asked the usher in the back to remove the dog from the aisle. By now, the lab had gone from sitting to an alert lying down position. The usher seemed to not hear the request, neither moving, nor looking back at Dr. Copley.

Dr. Copley was now clearly agitated, his eyes moved from the dog to the congregation, hoping someone would notice his distraction and do something about the dog.

Nobody did and, after a couple more minutes, he paused again, this time loudly asking if someone would remove the dog so the sermon could continue. After a brief silence, he seemed to give up and resumed the dry monologue. Now, he was no longer boring to hear and there was a nervousness that was almost akin to anger in his reedy inflection and his eyes spent even more time focused on the dog, who had by now rolled over on her back with all four relaxed legs in the air.

Dr. Copley continued to preach, although he was having to refer to his notes more often and his face was red. He seemed more sweaty than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been before the dog came in. Finally he took a deep breath, got down from the pulpit, took the dog by the collar and walked her out, shutting the church doors behind her.

BRIEFS From page B2 I had no trouble staying awake for the rest of the sermon since Dr. Copley continued to be disturbed, stumbling with the sermon and struggling for composure. Finally, it was time for the last song to be sung. As the congregation sang, Dr. Copley asked Preacher Everett how he thought the sermon had gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went pretty well,â&#x20AC;?

Everett said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have told you that Judge Barkers dog might come in. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his pet and she comes in the church often.

Nobody says anything about it because she always behaves and the Judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tithe is about half the church budget.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Copley flushed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll point the Judge out to me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll apologize when he comes out to shake hands.â&#x20AC;?

In those days, it was the tradition for the preacher to walk to the back of the church during the final prayer and shake everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand as they left. As the Judge approached in the line, Everett advised Dr. Copley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Judge Barker in the gray suit.â&#x20AC;?

When the Judge was even with Dr. Copley, the pastor shook his hand firmly and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry about removing your dog, Judge, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know she belonged to you.â&#x20AC;?

The Judge smiled and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK Reverend, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just as soon my dog didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear that sermon anyway.â&#x20AC;?

Tar Heels looking for breakout game against Southern

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — When Georgia Southern visits North Carolina today (3:30 p.m., ESPN360. com), all eyes will be on the Tar Heels’ offense and whether its new simplified approach helps rebound from poor performances in back-toback ACC losses.

And standing on the sidelines, cheering on the offense the loudest, will be UNC’s defensive unit.

The Tar Heels’ defense is ranked No. 8 in the nation, but it hasn’t got much help the past two games from an offense

that is ranked No. 113 in the country.

But despite the gap in game day performances, players on the defense insist that they have been encouraging the beleaguered offense.

“I think the main thing is we’ve just got to go out there and support each other,” said linebacker Bruce Carter, whose team is 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the ACC. “Sometimes it’s going to be where they’re going to have to support us when we’re struggling, so we just have to go out and do the same thing. I think that’s the main thing, just support each other because at the end of the day, we’re just

a team.”

It also helps that Carter knows what the offense is going through because he and the defense were in the same position two years ago. In 2007, the Tar Heels lost six games by no more than seven points and finished the season 4-8. The young, inexperienced defense took the blame for the losses, while the offense rolled with 21.2 points per game. “[The team] sees a little bit of the same thing in the offense that they saw with the defense in 2007,” Davis said. “People were like, ‘God, can’t you stop the run? What’s the deal?’ Well the same

answers at that time are the same answers as [they are] offensively today. … They didn’t have any experience.”

Davis said the offensive and defensive players are friends and are pulling for each other. Carter, who was a freshman in 2007, said the defense doesn’t want to point fingers because it doesn’t matter who is and isn’t playing well if the final result is a loss.

“The defensive guys are sitting there always trying to encourage us saying, ‘Let’s go, come on. Ya’ll are good. Ya’ll aren’t playing like yourselves, so you just need to get back what ya’ll

are used to and how you used to play,’ “ offensive lineman Kyle Jolly said.

The Tar Heels’ offense has a chance to gain some confidence today against the Golden Eagles, who compete in the Football Championship Subdivision, before a bye week and then a Thursday night date with Florida State on Oct. 22.

Georgia Southern (32, 2-1 Southern Conference) has been giving up 24.4 points and 141.8 rushing yards per game.

Davis said the Golden Eagles are athletic and speedy, but most of its offense runs through sophomore quarterback Lee Chapple, who is averag-

ing 198.2 passing yards.

But while the defense should have little trouble containing the Golden Eagles, UNC running back Ryan Houston said today’s game is a chance for offensive redemption.

“Defense is always supportive; that’s why at the end of the game I have tears in my eyes because they work so hard,” Houston said. “I feel like [we’ve been] letting them down sometimes, like it’s our fault that we’ve lost these two games. We’ve got to make it up to them, and I feel like that’s something we’ve got to do starting this week.”

UNC offensive line getting back to basics in effort to improve

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina left tackle Kyle Jolly has started 30 games in his career and is one of just four senior starters this season.

He is an unquestioned leader and seasoned veteran, but he doesn’t know what else he can do to help a struggling offensive line.

“It’s one of those things where it’s like, ‘OK, I’ve done this, done that; what else can I do to help the other guys and myself to help the offense get that much better,’ “ Jolly said. “It is very frustrating. It’s really hard to explain.”

It should help the offensive line that Coach Butch Davis announced Monday that the Tar Heels are going back to the basics. For the offensive line, that means returning to simple running schemes that have worked in the past and making the plays less complicated.

“We started to think too much and tried to scheme too much towards the

STREAK From page B1 other step. I believe in my heart that we did that.

“All that does is give you a chance. You’ve got to go play and execute, but in the fundamentals of the game and competing and playing — just one-on-one football — we’re getting better.”

defense,” said Jolly, who said he plans to play Saturday despite spraining his ankle against Virginia. “We started thinking too much about them rather than about ourselves and what we need to do.”

Jolly said in the loss to Virginia some of the younger linemen got confused about who they were blocking because the Cavaliers had a lot of defenders standing up. But instead of the Tar Heels following their assignment rules, they didn’t know who they were blocking and, by the time the ball was snapped, it was too late.

“We hadn’t talked about guys standing up like that, so it’s just talking to them and saying, ‘OK, well if you play by your rules and you see where he’s located, then you’re going to know most likely where he’s going to be,’ “ Jolly said. “It’s just talking to them about it … because after one time they did it, the next time the young guys knew how they were going to fit it.”

Jolly said he’s mostly patient and

encouraging with the players on an inexperienced line that has been decimated by injuries and players leaving the program, but sometimes he has to give them tough love. The Tar Heels are ranked last in the ACC in points and 11th in total offense and rushing offense.

“You can’t get too mad at them for certain plays,” Jolly said. “But then some plays [that] they’ve run a bunch of times, you kind of need to get up in their faces a little bit, say, ‘OK, you’ve ran it this many times, you know what to do, so why are you messing up? Go do it.’ “ Running back Ryan Houston doesn’t think the offensive woes should be blamed solely on the line. He said the tailbacks and quarterback T.J. Yates could be doing a better job of getting first downs and taking some pressure off the linemen.

“We’ve got to get the offense rolling,’ Houston said. “Like we get three-andout or something and the offensive line-

men dip their heads like, ‘Aw man, we aren’t doing our job.’ They’re taking all the blame, but I think it’s really not their fault.”

Jolly said he already could see benefits of the slimmer playbook in practice, and he said the line’s goal for Saturday’s game against Georgia Southern is pretty clear.

“We just need to go out there and get after it and get the offense moving, period,” Jolly said. “If we have to stay out there the entire time, I don’t care. We just need to get the offense going. We just need to get the yardage and get the confidence back.”

Notes: Sophomore quarterback Mike Paulus was absent from Wednesday’s practice, as he was having a sore shoulder examined. … Junior tight end Zack Pianalto, who has been out with a dislocated subtalar joint in his right foot, was running on the sidelines during Wednesday’s workout.

GET MORE DO MORE

The future almost always is on Cutcliffe’s mind, with one obvious exception — the threeplus hours today when the Blue Devils will be all about trying to find a way to finally beat N.C. State.

“Every game is a big game for us,” Duke wide receiver Austin Kelly said, “but when you get somebody right down the street, you definitely want the bragging rights.”

BUSINESS

Creek’s Landing adds new charm to historic site

BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

For its unique renovation of part of a historical building, Creek’s Landing Salon and Spa was named September Business of the Month by the Thomasville City Beautification Committee.

Owner Cynthia Saunders and Jamie Hallman, manager and esthetician, said that the salon was converted from an old theater in downtown Thomasville.

“A lot of things were fabricated to keep it in line with what was here before,” Saunders said.

“Since this is such a historical building, there’s a lot of things we didn’t want to change — we just wanted to improve on it.”

An original alcove and two lights were kept, and the rest was altered to adapt the space for a salon. A sloped roof over the stylists’ work stations used to be the underside of a balcony seating area, and a serene entranceway now sits in place of the theater lobby.

Construction began in December of last year, and the salon began serving customers in July.

Creek’s Landing Salon and Spa is working with Sebastian Art Gallery, located next door in the same building, toward a joint grand opening for both businesses.

“He really wanted to have something original that would complement his business,” Saunders said. “Where he’s art for the soul, we’re art for the body.”

Some of Stephen Sebastian’s artwork is showcased in the salon already. He also plans to paint a mural on the alcove ceiling area and another on the outside of the building, Saunders said. Though the salon isn’t quite finished, its staff has received plenty of compliments about its peaceful atmosphere.

“Everybody says it’s beautiful,” Hallman said.

“They don’t realize what’s in here, because the outside is not quite finished, so it’s kind of like a pleasant surprise.”

The salon offers the basics — cut and style, hair color, and nail polish — but each of its staff members brings something unique to the business.

The nail technician at Creek’s Landing Salon and Spa offers waterless manicures and pedicures, which Hallman and Saunders say are more sanitary than soaking the hands or feet in water. Different levels of each service are offered, with the highest level including a massage, an exfoliating scrub, moisturizing lotion, Vitamin E essential oils and moist towel wraps.

“Our decadent pedicure

Hallman specializes in

advanced skincare services like microdermabrasion, chemical peels and LED light therapy.

Saunders offers non-sur-

gical hair replacement and extensions, after studying under a doctor who performed surgical hair transplants.

“I wanted to make sure that when somebody came in and they wanted nonsurgical replacement, I would know that this was the best alternative for them,” she said. “If the person was a candidate for surgical replacement, I would know how to help them by referring them to one of my colleagues.”

Though hard economic times have hit across the country, Hallman and Saunders don’t think there is a significant decrease in salon and spa customers. They have priced their services competitively, they said, and people want to take a break from their stress and relax.

“A lot of times, people can’t go to the beach for a week, but they might be able to come to a salon for a few hours,” Hallman said.

Beginning Oct. 20, Creek’s Landing Salon and Spa is accepting resumes for highly qualified stylists. For more information, call 475-9158 or e-mail creekslandingspa@northstate.net.

Learning to love Monday mornings

BY TAMMY HOLYFIELD Ask the Coach Dear Coach, Over the years I have learned to dislike Monday mornings. What can I do to get motivated after the weekend away from work?

– Monday Motivation Dear Monday Motivation, It is really common for people to dread Monday mornings, especially after a full weekend of activities. We are a busy society and there are so many things to do. We all pack so much into our weekend—like community involvement, church services, volunteering, shopping, driving kids to athletic events, traveling, social events and working around the house—that often we are exhausted when we show up at the office on Monday. My suggestion to the “weekend warriors” is that some simple strategies can go along way toward improving Monday mornings.

Strategy 1: Before you leave the office on Friday, write a short list of tasks to want to accomplish on Monday morning. I suggest prioritizing this list according to the level of difficulty at starting and completing the task. The key idea is to provide yourself with some easy and perhaps fun activities to start your Monday. Checking tasks off our “To-Do List” often releases energy and a feeling of accomplishment to get more done.

Strategy 2: Get rest and eat healthy over the weekend so you are not tired when you unlock your office door on Monday. Try to schedule

some “down time” over the weekend for regeneration and relaxation.

Strategy 3: When you

Funding to expand outreach, help insure children entering school TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that North Carolina has received a $678,210 grant to fund health insurance outreach and enrollment for eligible, uninsured children. As detailed in her health care roadmap the governor proclaimed her goal of all children having access to coverage and making sure all eligible children are enrolled.

The North Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy & Ready to Learnâ&#x20AC;? (HRL) Partnership will identify uninsured children who are entering kindergarten and are eligible for Medicaid or N.C. Health Choice. In the first year, the program will be piloted in a total of 16 high need rural and urban N.C. counties with thousands of eligible and uninsured kindergartners. In year two, the program will expand statewide to all 4 and 5 year olds. North Carolina is one of 41 states awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

This is the third in a series of initiatives originally outlined in her health care roadmap issued dur-

ing the campaign. Despite having to balance a budget deficit of $4.7 billion, Gov. Perdue has worked toward expanding health care coverage in North Carolina, including the expansion of SCHIP by 9,098 children. The governor also announced that North Carolina received $17 million from a competitive federal grant to expand coverage for uninsured working families, and nearly $3.9 million for Rural Hope, a program that will improve health care facilities in rural North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our children enter public school, we need to ensure that they are healthy and ready to learn,â&#x20AC;? said Perdue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This partnership will help us reach out to more young children across North Carolina to make sure they are receiving the care and coverage they need.â&#x20AC;?

Gov. Perdue has championed the role of child health in insuring childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to succeed in school and later in life. The governor asked the N.C. Pediatric Society Foundation, which has an accomplished record in working to improve health care access for medically underserved children and youth, to lead a coalition of

physicians, school nurses, School Health Advisory Councils, state agencies, Local Education Agencies and community-based stakeholders to form the HRL partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a priority of the American Academy of Pediatrics and of North Carolina Pediatricians that all children have health insurance and access to quality health care in a medical home,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Marian Earls, the President of the N.C. Pediatric Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This grant brings us closer to that goal by covering many of the uninsured children in North Carolina. Having care in a medical home promotes physical, oral and emotional health, and sets the stage for children and adolescents to be ready to learn and to experience success.â&#x20AC;?

Key partners include: the School Nurses Association of North Carolina, N.C. Healthy Start Foundation, Action for Children, N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Rural Health and Community Care, N.C. Healthy Schools, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, the Office of the Governor and the N.C. Academy of Family Physicians.

Municipal candidate videos to air on Channel 13 TIMES STAFF REPORT

Video presentations featuring City Council candidates begin airing on the City’s cable Channel 13 Tuesday, Oct. 13.

The presentations are provided through a joint project between the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce and the

City of Thomasville.

Candidates for Mayor and all City Council positions participated in the program, which airs three times each day until the election on November 3. The candidate presentations will be shown on Channel 13 most days at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Occasionally other programming may inter-

rupt this schedule.

“We’re really proud of this program,” said Chamber President Doug Croft. “We take the candidates and put them directly into the voters’ living rooms. This has really become the best most effective way for candidates to reach voters. ” Croft was quick to

compliment Justin Trogdon in the City’s IT Department who operated the equipment and manages Channel 13.

Phil Griffin, the Chamber’s Board Chair, said, “We are glad to be partnering with the City on this important program.

It is vital that every voter tune in and really assess

the various candidates.

Only in this presentation style can you understand their leadership potential.”

Compared to a live, public forums or debates, the video presentations reach a much larger audience. Viewers are able to see the presentations at their own convenience

and in the comfort of their own home.

“The presentation will air sixty times over the next three weeks. This is the easiest and quickest way for voters and citizens to learn about the people leading their city. There is no reason for any voter to not be informed,” said Croft.

arrive at your office, “get your bearings and get going”. The phrase “get your bearings” reminds us that to first look where you are at before moving forward. Begin by reviewing your To-Do list — which you made on Friday, the week earlier — then start working down the list until you establish a good work “flow” for the day.

Just like an athlete will stretch their muscles before a long run, you may benefit by reviewing your “to do” list prior to starting working on your activities.

Strategy 4: Your week will begin with greater enthusiasm and a sense of positive anticipation if you are working on something for which you are truly passionate.

Though it is obvious to say that Monday morning is much better when you are excited and motivated, it is worth reminding ourselves that we can’t give out what we don’t have.

Weekends are a time for refilling out tank so we run smooth.
