Economy impacts park upgrades BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Public parks are a vital part of any community. People use them as a source of fun and relaxation, whether it’s letting their children play or simply enjoying lunch outside on a pretty day. Thomasville has nearly a dozen such parks across the city, and responsibility for maintaining them falls on Parks and Recreation to make sure they are safe for public use. Like any other city department, Parks and Recreation relies solely on funds generated by tax revenue dollars to provide basic upkeep and purchase new equipment. While most people would love to see their neighborhood park sporting the latest playground equipment, tough financial times leads to difficult decisions when it comes to spending

‘Right now, there are some things that are higher priority than playground equipment..’ — Billy Freeman Parks and Recreation Director higher priority than playground equipment. The city is taking in less tax revenue, and that’s money that is not there. I think a lot of people don’t understand how expensive it is to replace play-

ground equipment.� During a recent town hall meeting, several citizens expressed concerns that the city wasn’t doing enough for their parks by not updating playground equipment, particularly at King’s Row Park. Freeman points out that King’s Row Park actually was the latest park to see any funding, as the city recently added a new $29,000 piece of equipment there, despite the fact it is only used by a few citizens compared to others that serve a larger portion of the community. “People get frustrated when they see a little bit show up,� said Freeman. “Obviously, they want more and we want to give it to them. We have an adequate budget for maintenance but to add equipment, those are capital proj-

Dockham to reconsider benefit of economic incentives BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer LEXINGTON — Though running unattested for the North Carolina House District 80 seat, incumbent Republican Jerry Dockham joined in spirited debate at a candidate forum held at Davidson County Community College Tuesday. “It’s been an honor for me to represent you in the North Carolina General Assembly for the last 20 years,� said Dockham, who will begin his Dockham 11th term after the 2010 election. “We’re at a crossroads in the state, we’re at a crossroads in our nation. We’ve got to decide if we want more government intervention or if we want to go the other way and have less government, fewer regulations,

2010 ELECTION more personal responsibility. That is what I favor.� The forum — sponsored by Communities in Schools of Lexington/Davidson County, Smart Start of Davidson County and the Lexington and Thomasville area chambers of commerce — provided a stage for Dockham and the two candidates for N.C. House District 81, Hugh Holliman and Rayne Brown, to discuss issues facing the county as well as the state. Senator Stan Bingham, a Republican running unattested for North Carolina Senate District 33, was invited but was unable to attend. After an opening statement, each candidate addressed a series of 10 questions, which, in a reflection of the

LEXINGTON — One of the country’s leading discount grocery chains is building a distribution center in Lexington that will bring more than 40 jobs to Davidson County. During a press conference at Davidson County Community College Wednesday afternoon, Save-A-Lot, Ltd., announced its plans to construct a new 325,000square-foot distribution center at Lexington Business Park that will create 43 jobs and invest more than $24 million into the area over the next three years.

“Putting deals together like this is not easy,� Rick Myer, Save-A-Lot’s vice president of development and construction, said. “This was done in a highly professional and respectful way. This really is a culmination of a long run. We looked at this a few years ago and the timing didn’t work out for us, and here we are, finally. [The center] initially will employ 40 folks and will employ probably two or three times that eventually because we know this facility will be successful. It’s all part of a grand plan.� Save-A-Lot, a St. Louis-

Fake organ program

MUSICALLY SPEAKING

JOSEF WALKER Guest Columnist

What a busy day Sunday was for me! After playing the 10 a.m. radio broadcast of the R.L. Pope Bible Class at Memorial United Methodist — as I do every Sunday morning — I dashed to Heidelberg to rehearse with the Bell Choir, Chancel Choir, Crucifer, and Banner Bearers before the service. It was Homecoming at Heidelberg. It was a beautiful and meaningful service which was well attended. Music Ministry really pulled out all the stops and I’d like to extend my thanks to both of the choirs for a great job. Sunday evening, I attended a recital at my home church, Wesley Memorial, in High Point. It was a most unusual recital in that it was a program of duets for organ. Yes, that’s right, four hands (and four feet) at the organ. Michael Dougherty and

Wauford completes basic training

STAFF REPORT — Navy Seaman Apprentice Nathaniel S. Wauford, son of Carlita Lee of Thomasville, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Wauford completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through

Frank Pifferetti did a splendid job. The French Toccata by Ralf Bölting was my favorite. The most refreshing part of the program was “Toot Suite” by P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742). What a hoot! Often Organists and Choirmasters are viewed as very serious and stodgy, but these two certainly didn’t fit that description. It reminded me of some funny organ programs some of us put together when I was in college. We were all music majors and we came up with an organ recital program to end all organ programs. If you don’t know much about music, you may find this mildly amusing. If you are a church musician, you may die laughing. Listed herewith are the titles and the composers as listed on our program: “Pass the Keg and Fudge” by Jazz Box, “Tomato, Avocado, and Fig in C’” by Jack in the Box, “Trip for Organ and Two Tom-toms (in Hypodermic Mode)” by Agnes Day, “The Dodo and the Hoot Owl” by Handle, “From Hell Below to Earth I Come” by Patch L. Bell, “Chore in E major” by C. Sir Frank, “Tunes for the Road” by Walker (this would include Duke Street, Miles Lane and Federal Street) “By the Waters of Babyland” by Polly

Tonality, “Fantasia on One Note” by Sye Pherr, “The Joy and Transparency of Those Awful Corpses” by Messy Ann, “Behold I Stand with One Foot in the Door” by Fuller Bruchman, “O Whither Shall I, Flea?” by Schuebler, Fantasy on the Tedium” by Ray Grrr, “Massive Schmell (from Sonata I)” by Hinder Mith, “Skater Rondo” by Rink, “Song of the Basket” by Weaver, “Toccata on B-A-A-H” by Lamb, “The Big Jug” by J. Batch, “Rosy Meadow” by Van Williams, “Allergy for a Defunct Friend” by Sour Bee, “Finally, (from the 10th Symphony)” by Wee Door. It’s good not to take ourselves too seriously. Life is too short for that. I hope you enjoyed this program as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. If not, just share the program with one of you musician friends. If you don’t have any musician friends (that would be really sad) you could use this as the liner for your canary cage. A canary always has a song in his heart … hope you do, too.

‘DRIVE’ on with mastery TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Guest Columnist

Surprise! We have another motivational driver, according to Daniel Pink, that rides along with Autonomy. It is Mastery — named as the second element in Type I behavior. Pink defines Mastery — in his book DRIVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us — as the desire to get better and better at something that matters. If the job we need to get done is comprised of routine tasks requiring little more than compliance, then the three elements introduced by Pink may not move the car. Cash for gas and food may get it done. That’s an example of Motivation 2.0, which offers pay and perks and the occasional stick. But if the work involves complex problems and requires fresh solutions, then Motivation 3.0 is required. What engages people beyond extrinsic rewards? The pursuit of Mastery. Tapping into Mastery, Pink says, is like the familiar Goldilocks story, where she found what was “just right.â€? When jobs are too hard or too easy, the result can be frustration or boredom. When the job is a good match, the results can be “glorious ‌ the essence of flow.â€? When you think of the wood turner, spending hours upon hours to turn the perfect bowl; the golfer who never tires of perfecting his swing; or the artist who passionately paints one canvas after another. Is this flow? Is this the pursuit of Mastery? Pink speaks of flow as essential to Mastery, but goes on to say that flow doesn’t guarantee it. A state of flow can happen in a moment, but mastery happens over time — months, years, decades. DRIVE suggests three peculiar laws that govern the element of mastery:

Mastery is a Mindset What people believe, shapes what people achieve, according to Stanford University Professor Dr. Carol Dweck’s extensive research with children and young adults. Begin with one mindset and mastery is impossible. Begin with another and mastery is inevitable.

Mastery is a Pain The path to mastery is not lined with daisies, in fact, it often hurts. Ask any cadet in officer training. Ask a struggling guitarist with sore fingers. Ask a production operator trying to learn to run a new 12-hour job. It is often grit — essential as talent — which fuels accomplishment.

Mastery is an Asymptote The definition is from algebra: an asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never quite reaches.

Similarly, mastery is something we can approach, strive for and get really close to, but never touch. The joy is in the pursuit — it attracts because it eludes. We keep reaching — through moments of pain and pleasure — because something or someone calls us to it. Perhaps the desire to get better and better at something that matters is our highest calling.

Calculating what never was VIEWPOINT

MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist The unemployment rate is stubbornly holding at 9.5 percent, according to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. There continued to be some job loss as the rest of the census came to a conclusion and local and state governments shed jobs trying to patch up holes in their budgets. However, the private sector added 64,000 jobs in September, which is great news. Inch by inch we are still heading in the right direction. The Great Recession is over and the economy is being rebuilt. We are now at the place in the road where we feel a little better and want our old lives back. That’s lead to a lot of complaining that things don’t look the way we want them to fast enough. A cold splash of reality is what’s needed here so we can keep building from where we are and not lose focus. Collectively, as individuals, as a country and even as a global economy we dug ourselves into one of the worst financial messes since we started printing money. It wasn’t just the leveraged low-rated mortgages. It was also the massive spending that was artificially inflating a rate of growth and a mentality that success equaled ownership of as much as possible. Success can be measured by the number of friends and family that surround an individual where they can be themselves. That’s the entire game. Money and what it can buy are tools to enhance those relationships and not the point. Making money and the shiny doodaws the point is what drove a lot of money managers to look for ever craftier ways to create year end bonuses in the millions. Let’s not kid ourselves about what the motivation was to repackage bad debt. Wall Street wasn’t looking for ways to making America a better place to live. They were creating new wealth, mostly for themselves and we wanted to be like them, just a little, so we tried to emulate them way beyond our means. However, they were the only ones who really knew it was a game so when the same bankers

and money managers realized they were about to bleed money, they sent us the bill. It was a brilliant move in some ways. They pointed out that the crisis in the banking industry was so large it was pulling down others and had the potential to stop our economy cold. That’s not an exaggeration but more of an understatement. At the moment that Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, AIG, Shearson Lehman, Merrill Lynch and others were visibly failing there was an entire roster of others who were about to follow them. If that had happened the unemployment rate right now would be doubled or more and real estate prices would have been cut in half across the nation. Bread lines would be back and thousands more families would be making very hard decisions about where to live or even how to get enough food for the week. As bad as things have been, and it’s been a very rough two years, it would have made the Great Depression look much like World War I did once the Nazis stepped onto the world stage. Everything would have changed and we’d be talking about making things better for a future generation while we did our best to pull together and just survive. That’s what faced everyone who gathered around the table at the White House and the Federal Reserve in 2008 when they had to figure out what to do next. The bailouts by taxpayers in the billions and the takeover of the banks and other institutions like GM, as distasteful as they were, averted an economic blackout so bad we could not have fixed it. We would have had to start from scratch. There are those who think that capitalism has a natural reset button and if we hadn’t bailed out industries it would have simply reset. They would do well to remember that Hoover thought the same thing and so, did nothing, that until 2008 it was a cliché to say that real estate in America always goes up in value and that there is always a tipping point that when reached you don’t come back. You start over and use the harsh lessons to make sure it doesn’t happen again. So, as much as you may not like those people who sat around those tables and handed out our money, which is getting paid back sooner than expected, feel some gratitude for what never was and instead what we just might continue to build.

Obama and the chamber of secrets VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist So, who’s left to demonize? The Girl Scouts? Rotary Clubs maybe? We’re running out of devils to distract us. Then again, the Obama administration’s preposterous attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce does nothing to help Democrats and everything to reinforce the moderate voter’s perception that the president’s party has gone bonkers. A recent ad by Democrats makes the charge — dutifully echoed through the blogosphere and by talking heads — that the chamber was part of a cabal out to “steal our democracy,” accepting foreign cash and then using the funds to campaign against candidates on the left. Though, admittedly, they have no proof of any wrongdoing, Democrats have threatened that investigations will soon uncover this reprehensible criminal activity. Inquiry to come postelection, no doubt. “Stealing democracy,” as you may know, loosely translated, means: Holy crap, Republicans are going to win an election. You’ll also notice that the insidious sway of outside po-

litical money always seems to blossom into a critical threat to the future of democracy about the time misguided conservatives start to get the upper hand on Democrats. Yes, some critics are throwing a more nuanced accusation at the Chamber of Commerce. They assert that all money is fungible and thus it is irrelevant how the funding is separated within the organization. At the end of the day, foreign money helps the political arm of the chamber. This argument holds a lot of credence. Money is fungible. So it will be interesting to hear how Democrats defend their support of government funding for, say, Planned Parenthood, which, one could point out, is also using fungible government dollars to regularly fund abortions. I believe that’s illegal, as well. But let’s face it; no one is really buying the argument. Though, a perceptive voter might ask himself this: If the United States Chamber of Commerce — composed of some of the most moderate, milquetoast, governmentfriendly saps in the country — is now on the enemies list, who exactly does the president think is reasonable? If the crony capitalists aren’t good enough for Barack Obama, who is? Without these helpful attacks and the ensuing kerfuffle, most voters would never have known about the chamber’s political activities. Now they may question why the Chamber of Commerce, which supports an array of left-of-center policies — tax hikes, health care “reforms,” bailouts, etc. — is so interested in seeing Democratic candidates beaten in Novem-

ber. Why would the chamber want to replace these statesmen with nihilistic Republicans who promise to reject all federal bailouts? And how many average American voters believe that the Chamber of Commerce reflects, in general, the positions of most mainstream businesses? Things, they may assume, must be worse than we thought. Time magazine’s Mark Halperin — not exactly Glenn Beck — recently wrote that the general perception by most Washington insiders is that “the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters.” Many of us have always thought the administration insular and arrogant, but never clueless. But, you have to ask yourself, why would Democrats run a campaign that reminds everyone that their opponents aren’t exclusively tea party radicals and demon-Bush acolytes, but moderate groups of small and large businesses? Politically speaking, election time is when you retrofit your positions. This stunt only proves this administration can’t even feign moderation in the face of defeat.

East Davidson’s football team could easily be feeling sorry for themselves this week, having been beaten 56-14 a week ago by Lexington and now having to play mighty Thomasville on Friday in a game that could produce a similar result. But head coach Bryan Lingerfelt informed his team after practice on Wednesday, of how proud he is of the way they have performed in workouts this week. “We had a good week of practice and the kids have been real positive,” he said. “I just got finished talking to them and told them how impressed I am by what they have

With no win ever guaranteed, the Bulldogs have been working just as hard in practice to prepare for the Golden Eagles.

A pair of 42-point performances in consecutive weeks would give any team reason to celebrate, unless the team scoring the points happens to be playing against you. The Ledford Panthers have dropped their last two games by wide margins. Most recently, North Forsyth bested the Panthers in a 42-0 shutout. The setback came on the heels of a blowout loss to Central Davidson the week prior. “They are going to win a lot of games the rest of the way,” Adams said. “We had a Adams feeling they were going to be pretty good, but we did some things to help them out and make them look better. We’re still in the process of getting there. “We’ve been under an unbelievable amount of injuries and bad luck. We’ve dealt with a lot of adversity. (The coaching staff) is seeing them get better every week. The score is just not reflecting that.” Overcoming injuries and demoralizing losses has not come easily for the Panthers. Against both Central and North, Ledford has been unable to remain fundamentally sound. The offense has put way too much pressure on a defensive unit that played well early in the season and cannot be solely blamed for the 84 points allowed. Ledford will try to reverse those trends against a 5-2 Southwestern Randolph team that has shown marked improvement in comparison with seasons past. “They gained a lot of confidence early in

DAVIDSON COUNTY SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Starrett passionate about officiating, community BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Known as the “zebras” to fans and often criticized for their calls, basketball officials do not get much recognition for the tough job they do. When the final horn sounds, they leave the playing surface and return to their regular jobs outside of the sport, usually without being shown any appreciation or hearing of a job well done. So when retired, 30-year

veteran Colon Starrett of Thomasville, received a phone call about a month ago announcing that he will be inducted into the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame Oct. 16, he was truly shocked. “I was surprised and pleased when I found out,” Starrett said. “I never expected it because you do not think of a referee being in a hall of fame, but I am honored.” Now 72, Starrett’s journey through officiating began in high school

when he was a referee for the junior varsity level. Upon completion of high school he attended High Point College, where some of his friends encouraged him to keep doing it. So he gave the booking agent a call. “He said they were looking for warm bodies, so I did it,” said Starrett. “I really loved calling games. I was not good enough to continue playing in college, so it was a

Tar Heels moving forward without trio of players Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates and the rest of his teammates clearly were disappointed to find out Monday that Greg Little, Robert Quinn and Marvin Austin would not be with the Tar Heels for the rest of the season after violating the NCAA agent benefits, preferential treatment and ethical conduct rules. But the news also brought a bit of closure for a UNC squad that has been dealing with the distraction of the ongoing investigations into agents and academics since July. “Pretty much now we know who we’re going to have the rest of the season,� Yates said. “There’s probably going to be some other loose ends tied up as well, but for the most part we know who we’re going to roll with the rest of the way.� After originally announcing 15 players were either ineligible or being withheld before the season-opener against LSU, only six Tar Heels still are sitting out because of the ongoing investigations.

And Monday’s announcement ended the question marks surrounding some of the Tar Heels’ top players. Austin and Little were the last two to get an NCAA ruling out of a group of six players who decided to forgo the NFL Draft and return for their senior seasons. Linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant were cleared before the LSU game, safety Deunta Williams returned against Clemson after a four-game suspension and cornerback Kendric Burney is scheduled to be back Oct. 23 against Miami after a six-game suspension. Quinn is only a junior, but the projected top-10 NFL draft pick was one of UNC’s best defenders. Yates said the Tar Heels will miss Little, Quinn and Austin, but it won’t be much of a distraction to get ready for Virginia (6 p.m., ESPN3.com) this week, since UNC already has played five games without them. Even though Little, Quinn and Austin are three of the Tar Heels’ best players, they have gone 3-2 and 1-1 in the ACC without them. “It’s an initial shock when we first found out,� Yates said. “But we’ve been rolling without those guys for some time now for a couple months, throughout train-

Singler, Smith preparing for another season of Duke basketball BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Duke begins a new basketball season with Friday’s start of practice and the Blue Devils will be short three missing pieces from last year’s national championship team. It’s what the Blue Devils have coming back, and what they’ve added, that have many analysts calling them the nation’s top team entering the 2010-11 season. Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler, Duke’s two returning senior scholarship players, played all 40 minutes in last April’s 61-59 win over Butler that delivered the school’s fourth national title under Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Last year’s three seniors, Jon Scheyer, Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas, played all but 17 minutes in the epic win. (Brothers Miles and Mason Plumlee, along with Andre Dawkins, covered those other minutes off the bench). Smith and Singler nearly followed the seniors out of Durham before both decided that making a run for one more championship looked better than beginning their NBA careers. “I’ve already been here three years,� said Smith, a 6-2 guard. “Why not stay one more and finish what I started? Kyle is one I’ve talked to a lot about the decision. A lot of the decision came down to what he was going to do. It would have been tough to be the only senior here. I most likely would have left if Kyle wasn’t going to be here.� Singler, the smooth 6-8 forward named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the college experience. “I felt comfortable in making my decision to stay,� Singler said. “Even though I want to be in the NBA and stuff, I just felt coming back for my senior year and experiencing all the things I’m going to experience, you can’t put a price on it.� Big things are expected from both players. Singler and Smith were each among 50 players on the preseason Wooden Award watch list. They are a big part of the reason Krzyzewski is excited about this season, even after winning a national championship with Duke and coaching the U.S. to

a gold medal in the FIBA World Championships over the summer. “I love coaching,� Krzyzewski said. “I want to see what Kyle and Nolan can do their senior years. I want to see where Miles and Mason are at. How cool would that be if two brothers vault to another level? What does Kyrie Irving do as a freshman? Those are the exciting things for me.� This summer included plenty of exciting moments for Smith and Singler. Visiting the White House was one, an appearance at the ESPY Awards was another trapping of winning it all last season. They each had moments to reflect as well. For Smith, it was the 90 minutes he spent at his father’s grave in Louisville, Ky., last June. Derek Smith, part of Louisville’s 1980 national championship team and a former NBA player and assistant coach, died of a heart attack at age 34 when Nolan Smith was 8. “I wanted to go there and just talk to him a little bit, to let him know that I’m doing good and the family is fine,� Smith said. “I have a national championship ring just like him. One thing I told him was I want to get one more than him. It was a good time.� Singler’s moment was more physical than mental. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in early September at Duke. The procedure was aimed at curbing some soreness and was relatively minor procedure. But it’s kept Singler out of preseason workouts with the team. While he’s running again and doing

conditioning, he said the knee is 95 percent healthy. Some lingering swelling has kept him from being released to full-speed drills. He hopes to be on the practice court Friday at Countdown to Craziness. “I’m feeling great,� Singler said. “I was kind of bummed because I had to miss some of the things the team does in the preseason.� Neither Smith or Singler can believe they are seniors, both saying their college careers have flown by. Their jobs now are to lead Duke the way Scheyer, Zoubek and Thomas did last season. “I would say since I’ve been here I’ve probably learned the most from seniors last year,� Singler said. “They were just always a strong presence. That’s’ one thing I took away and one thing I’m going to focus on the most this year. Always looking strong and always being a person you can look to.� Smith remembers Greg Paulus’ constant chatter during his senior year. But last year’s group left a lasting lesson he’ll carry into this season. “One thing they instilled on the entire team was having a final mentality,� Smith said. “For the seniors, it is our last go-around it is our last year.

It’s going to be a little tough knowing we’re never going to get those guys back but I think this team do good moving forward.� UNC coach Butch Davis said the Tar Heels have taken the approach since before the LSU game that they would not get anybody back, so the team should not have much trouble dealing with the loss of the trio. “Anybody that we’ve subsequently got back because they’ve been cleared or because they’ve already made the restitution necessary, those are just kind of bonuses,� Davis said. Williams said the Little, Quinn and Austin were hurt, and he understood the feeling since he just returned to the field against Clemson. The safety said he was surprised at the ruling but no matter what he still “loves those guys to death.� “My heart goes out to them and their families,� Williams said. “I think people really have to understand the position that they’re in right now. As hurt as the fans may be for the season, they really have to understand that we’re still people and that we’re going through this thing as humans.�

From page 7 we have opportunities, we need to score, and that is going to be a big order because they are outstanding on defense. If we get some shots, we need to do something with them.� East’s new triple option offense can be tricky to prepare for, and Lexington had trouble adjusting to it on the first drive last week. Thomasville possesses one of the top defenses in the state, though, and have been working on defending the Georgia Tech-style of offense. “Defensively, when you go against an option attack offense it is all about assignment football,� Cline said. “We need to be disciplined and not try to do more than what each player is supposed to do.� Thomasville’s defense has passed the test seven times this season, and No. 8 could produce their first shutout of the season. “They are sound, wellcoached and tackle really well,� Lingerfelt said. “They have 11 solid tacklers on defense and that makes it tough. They are not out of position a lot.� The ground game of Thomasville has been the driving force on offense with 1,000-yard rusher Quin Riley, but the passing game was brilliant last Friday. Quarterback Sam Nelson was a perfect 9-for-9 for 166 yards and three touchdowns, finding receiver Sharaun Mouzone twice and Quindale Williams once.

Meet John Thomas OfďŹ cially established in 1852, the idea of Thomasville born when North Carolina passed a tax to fund a railroad system in 1840. Appointed to sell stock for the railroad in Davidson County, N.C. Senator John Warick Thomas a Caswell County native realized that right along the railroad tracks would be the perfect place to start a community, especially almost right in the geographic center of the state.

Along with helping establish Thomasville, Thomas recognized the importance of education for young women. He purchased the Glen Anna Female Seminary south of Thomasville and constructed an imposing four-story brick building on East Main, north of the railroad. In 1857, he moved the school into his new village.

The railroad is the factor as to why we as Thomasville are located here, with the railroad going down through the middle of the city, Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett says. All of that is extremely important about the town and Thomas, along with his wife, of course the people that Mary Lambeth, laid the foundation for the city of have made it.

Thomasville and what is was to become. About 158 years later, Thomasville has grown from a small railroad town to a city with a population of 25,400. Thomas died on May 17, 1871. The city erected a statue of Thomas in his honor, which now resides near the Depot on Main St, and, or course, near the railroads tracks for which the town was built.

based company, is the nation’s fifth largest grocery chain with 1,200 locations in 39 states across the country. Myer said the company is targeting the southeast region of the United States as a place for increased expansion. There currently are six Save-A-Lot corporate retail stores in North Carolina, employing 100 people, and the distribution will supply those and surrounding locations in the region. Construction on the facility is expected to begin by the end of the year with distribution scheduled to start by early 2012. The average wage for the new jobs will be $30,279. “Last year, we opened 43 stores,” said Myer. “This year, we’re opening 143 stores and next year we’re targeting more than 210 stores. As we examined this task, we focused on this part of the country. We studied parts of the country where we weren’t and where we needed to be. This was an area where we knew we had an opportunity to grow our business. We have eight stores

PARK From page 1 cts. We request those every year and those decisions are made above us. They have to pick and choose just like we do in our own homes.” Unlike playground sets people buy for their homes, ones that are used in public parks are held to a higher standard and must meet certain state safety guidelines. The average piece of playground equipment costs around $50,000, and for every city park to be fitted with a new slide and monkey bars would exceed any funds available to Parks and Recreation. “Because we’ve had all these facilities for a long time, it has kind of hurt us because all of our stuff is old,” Freeman said. “To replace it is very expensive.” Whatever concerns that were expressed during the town meeting have already been discussed by city officials, Freeman said. Plans to upgrade the city’s parks is a topic Freeman takes very seriously and a local initiative is aimed at addressing the issue. Partners for Playgrounds is a program intended to raise funds through community donations in an effort to improve the playgrounds at city parks. The goal of Partners for Playgrounds is to raise $350,000 that will be used to upgrade equipment at

DEATHS From page 6 Gene Travis

LEXINGTON — Ferrell Eugene (Gene) Travis, 71, of Kesler Road, Lexington, died Monday, Oct. 11, 2010, at the home of his son, Ray Staples, after several years of declining health. Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Higher Ground Baptist Church with the Rev. Roger Mills officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Davidson Funeral Home.

that have either opened or will open by the end of our fiscal year and an additional seven that are already earmarked for North Carolina. This is neat stuff for us and we’re excited to be here. This is a win-win for the community.” Save-A-Lot received $125,000 from a One North Carolina Fund grant implemented by Gov. Bev Perdue, as well as an incentives package from both Lexington and Davidson County for $145,000 a year for 12 years. The City of Lexington and Davidson County partnered to purchase 76 acres in the Lexington Business Center where they will then do a ground lease with Save-A-Lot on the property, according to Steve Googe, director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission. Googe said a cousin company also will open near the center that services Save-A-Lot vehicles. “I’ve said so many times whether its one job or 40 jobs, it’s important to the county,” Max Walser, Davidson County Commission Chair, said. “We have an unemployment rate still hovering around 11 percent, that’s

8 to 10,000 people out of work who want to work. Not only is Save-A-Lot going to build this facility, they’re going to employ 40, 50, 60 people while they’re doing it. That’s huge in itself. We value every job we can get. This center is going to make a big difference.” Save-A-Lot recently opened a Lexington location that Myer said exceeded expectations. For more information about Save-A-Lot, including job opportunities, visit savea-lot.com. In related news: • Davidson County Commissioners have scehduled a public hearing for Nov. 9 to discuss possible incentives for an economic development project named Project Maple. The project could bring an investment of $20 million to the area and possibly create as many as 350 jobs. Should commissioners approve the incentives, the company could make a decision by the end of the year. The public hearing will take place at the Davidson County Governmental Center in Lexington at 7p.m.

DOCKHAM From page 1 hot topic on everyone’s mind, heavily involved jobs and economic development. “Jobs will be our No. 1 focus when we go back to Raleigh,” Dockham said. The incumbent stated that government needed to stop putting rules and regulations on businesses that ended up driving them from the state. And though Dockham has, in the past, voted in favor of incentive grants, he said he’s unsure whether he’ll support such bills again. “The other states around us seem to be in the game whole-heartedly,” he said. “One-ups-manship on that is something that’s just in the norm. But going back this next term, they’re going to have to really convince me to do this again. We’ve been burned a couple of times.” Dockham acknowledged that new provisions hold companies accountable for carrying through on job creation and withhold incentives if those conditions aren’t met, but the representative maintained that the state should boast what it has to offer more so than flaunt money packages. “There are companies that are going to come to North Carolina because of our workforce, because of our educational system, because of our great community college network,” said Dockham, who has been a trustee at DCCC for 25 years and enthusiastically supports the community college.

VOTING Doak Park, the Central Recreation Center, Carver Park, Memorial Park, Turner Street Park, Myers Park and King’s Row Park. Depending on how much money is raised, parks with the greatest needs will be addressed first. “This is a plan in our mind that we’re trying to do,” said Freeman. “The point of it is this is on our radar. We would love to put updated playground equipment in across the city if we can find the money. However much money we can find, we’re going to do as far as that money will take us. You’ve got to make choices as to what will benefit the most people in Thomasville and where the needs are.” Freeman feels the Central Recreation Center is in the most need and serves the most people. With its after-school program and summer camps, the facility is used by many Chair City children and will therefore be the most beneficial to the community. Thomasville resident Amy Tow spent Wednesday afternoon at Doak Park enjoying lunch while her 3-year-old son Trent enjoyed the playground equipment. Tow said she comes to the park often and would like the city to do a little more when it comes to picking up trash and just making the place look nice. “There’s a lot of stuff for children to do, but

maybe they could do a little more,” Tow said. “It would be nice to see everything fixed up and new so we could all come out here and bring our kids.” Freeman points out that projects like the Finch Field renovation or Winding Creek Golf Course are often met with scrutiny from citizens who don’t use the facilities. Every year, Parks and Rec has to decide whether or not to open the city pool, as the cost to maintain the facility goes up. “There’s going to come a day when a decision will have to be made to no longer have a pool or spend money to replace it,” said Freeman. “Hickory has reached that point. That eventually will happen to us. Every year, I think it’s going to be next year.” Nearly every city official across the country is making difficult financial decisions during the current national recession. Parks and Recreation is no different. Chair City officials want to see their parks be the best they can be, but raising the funds will take time. The intentions are there, the money simply isn’t right now. For more information on Partners for Playgrounds, call Freeman at 475-4281.

From page 1 tem.” Roy Holman, chair of the Davidson County Democrat Party, understands the appeal of waiting until Nov. 2. “I’m one of them,” he said. “I usually go vote on the day of the election. I like to do that — it’s tradition.” That being said, however, Holman, like Barrett, understands the need to get people out early. “It kind of gets you started, it’s a jumpstart,” Holman said. “There are people that may go vote early and may not vote on Election Day — they get busy, they forget, they go out of town.” Voter turnout for May’s primary amounted to only 20 percent of the county’s registered voters. General Elections usually draw a bigger crowd, but being a nonpresidential year, more than likely folks won’t be breaking down the doors to cast their vote. “I think it’ll be decent,” said Barrett, who estimated around 30 to 35 percent. “I don’t think it’ll be big or low.” Holman remained slightly more optimistic. “Thinking about what kind of election we have, we may hit 40 percent,”

he said. “But there are other people that are saying we won’t.” Holman noted that the race for North Carolina House District 81 race between Democrat Hugh Holliman and Republican Rayne Brown might bring a lot of people out to vote who wouldn’t otherwise. “I think that’s probably the hottest election here on a local level,” Holman said. “Both parties are trying to get new people out to vote who don’t vote or haven’t voted. It’s a hot, contested race,

I think, and everyone is talking about it.” But whatever draws citizens to the booths, both Holman and Barrett stress the importance of coming out and exercising the right, no matter which party takes the ticket. “We encourage all people to go vote early — take your families, take your friends,” Barrett said. “That’s probably one of our top priorities.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576.

Georgia Webb LEXINGTON — Georgia Faye Webb Webb, 71, a resident of Hwy 64 East, Lexington, died Oct. 11, 2010, at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro. Memorial service will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the family home with Dr. Robert Floyd officiating.

Education across the board remains a high priority. Dockham said that education makes up about 60 percent of the state budget, a large chunk of funds government officials must be sure to spend wisely. “I promise not to touch teachers,” he said. “Teachers are where the rubber meets the road. Teachers are in the classroom, and that’s where the education is actually done.” Early childhood education, also a high priority given how much children learn before they actually start school, seems to have taken a hit in the current economic climate. Dockham said that while he and his wife were able to work with a single-salary to ensure their two sons received the full attention of one stay-at-home parent, many families can’t afford the luxury. “We have parents having to work sometimes two jobs apiece,” Dockham said. “We have to create a climate where there are good jobs out there where people can work and earn a living and not have to work 24 hours a day just to put food on the table.” All in all, Dockham said that all those making the trip to Raleigh in 2011 will face a challenge. “We’re going to have some tough choices, we all know that,” he said. “I hope that my experiences and the things that I’ve learned over the last 20 years will help me with those choices.”

In June, 27 representatives of the college traveled to Eastern Europe to experience the culture and history of the places on the five-country tour. Among them was Amy Trexler, a Davie County Early College student. “I learned a lot about other cultures. I had never even been out of the southeastern United States, so seeing new countries and their cultures was very eye opening,” Trexler said. “The trip was very beneficial to me and even influenced me to consider studying abroad while in college.” The Davie Education Center is located at 120 Kinderton Blvd. in Advance.

Appeals Court candidates visit Davidson County TIMES STAFF REPORT

LEXINGTON — An overflow crowd greeted candidates for North Carolina’s appellate courts Thursday, October 7th at a candidate forum hosted by the 6th Congressional District Republican Party, Davidson County Republican Party, and The Republican Women of Davidson County. The forum, which took place at Tricia’s Catering Buffet, featured four candidates running for seats on the North Carolina Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. Although judicial races are officially nonpartisan, all of the candidates attending the forum were self-identified Republicans. The candidates received three minutes each for opening statements. Judge Ann Marie Calabria, running for reelection to the Court of Appeals, told audience members that her judicial philosophy “rests on the bedrock of the Constitution.” She added that people who appear before her “know what to expect,” that she is a fair and impartial judge who applies the law evenly. Judge Rick Elmore, also running for re-election to the Court of Appeals, reminded everyone that he is the only candidate in his race that had ever served as a judge or represented a client as an attorney. Judge Elmore told the crowd that he was the judge who wrote the “April Greer” case that kept Greer’s killer in prison for life. In 2005, an Alamance County jury found Jerry Lynn Stuart, Jr., guilty of the murder of Greer, who was Stuart’s pregnant girlfriend. Following opening statements, members of the audience asked questions of the candidates. Audience members were invited to submit questions written or orally. The audience questions covered topics including free speech, judicial conflicts of interest, sharia law, how the appellate courts work, social media and the law, and separation of powers. Judge Barbara Jackson, a candidate for an open seat on the North
