Man arrested, 1 sought in armed robbery BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office made an arrest of a familiar face in a four-month old armed robbery case, but one suspect is still at-large. According to a DSCO press release, deputies arrested Robert Gray Rhodes, 20, of 518 Jolly Road in Lexington, last week at a game room located at 167 Ernest Snider Road in the Silver Valley
Community for an armed robbery that took place on June 6. Rhodes is facing one count of felony robbery with a dangerous weapon for holding up a store clerk from Larry’s Grocery at 10491 N.C. Highway 109 South in the owner’s driveway as she was delivering the night deposit. The store clerk told detectives that as she and her husband were in the driveway of Larry and Melissa Hughes, a white
male, tall and slim, wearing a black hoodie and black pants robbed at her gunpoint. She Rhodes said she threw the money bag at the suspect, who picked it up and fled the scene on foot. Detectives developed Rhodes and Jason Lee Gordon, 24, of 1912 Hill Road Lot
8 in the Silver Valley community, as suspects and obtained warrants for their arrest. GorGordon don is still at-large and is described as 5’10”, 149 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. “She went to the owner’s house to drop off the receipts and money
for the day and someone was waiting for her in the parking lot,” Sheriff David Grice said. “[The suspect] knew they coming with the money.” This is not Rhodes’ first encounter with law enforcement of late. In July, Rhodes was arrested for his alleged involvement in a series of larcenies in which nearly $60,000 worth of property was stolen. Rhodes was one of three suspects who were arrested for stealing

guns, cars, jet skis and ATVs from businesses in the Silver Valley and Denton communities. PPG Industries and Century Contractors were two companies who said the trio broke into buildings and stole property as part of the spree that also included two residences. Grice believes Gordon also may be involved. “We arrested [Rhodes] awhile back for a series of break-ins and we think

This month’s meeting of the Thomasville City Council will address some of the public’s concerns about the sewer overflow into North Hamby Creek this summer. Council heard from several concerned citizens at the September meeting, and some said they would return on Oct. 19 to further discuss the spill during the public forum. Local resident Barney Hill has signed up to address Council on the issue Oct. 19, as well. City Manager Kelly Craver said that his report near the end of the meeting would include comments about the issue. Council plans to consider amendments to the city budget in response to the nearly 16-gallon
One of the main goals Thomasville City Schools preaches is teaching the entire child, both inside the classroom and out. At Thomasville Primary School, students are learning the importance of proper behavior, and a renewed focus on positive reinforcement is being met with smiles and a desire to do the right thing, even when they think nobody is looking. “We find what you monitor is what you get,” TPS Principal Paula Gaylord said. “We can’t assume kids are going to do these things all the time. These are small things, like picking up paper off the floor without being asked or holding a door for someone. The kids love being recognized for good

Candidate video presentations to air on Channel 13 BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer Starting today, Thomasville residents will be able to hear what the current city council and mayoral candidates have to say without leaving their homes. Video presentations from each candidate will air on the city’s cable Channel 13 three times a day until the Nov. 3 election. Typically, they will be shown at 10 a.m., 4
p.m. and 8 p.m. each day, but that schedule may be interrupted occasionally. The presentations are a joint project between the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Thomasville. Doug Croft, Chamber president, said that the presentations run for about three to eight minutes each and give candidates a chance to reach a wide audience directly. “It’s really become the way to tell your platform

and to put yourself out there,” Croft said. “Not that signs aren’t good, not that ads aren’t good, but it was just kind of a unique, cool twist that has now developed into the best way.” While city council hopefuls participate in a few different candidate forums in the fall, they don’t reach as many people as Channel 13 does, Croft said.

HEALTH
Study: Bad habits early curtail longevity LIFELONG HEALTH
DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
For many of my baby boomer friends and contemporaries, midlife brings an increased attention on health. Sandwiched between aging parents and grownup children, most of us are acutely aware of the value of preventing disease and staving off chronic illness, which can often lead to major lifestyle changes such as finally quitting smoking, beginning an exercise routine or following a heart-healthy diet. Unfortunately, for those age-50-plus adults with particularly unhealthy habits, new research indicates that changing high-risk behaviors later in life offers little benefit. In an important study recently released in the British Medical Journal, researchers evaluated death rates in more than 19,000 middle-aged men who were followed for four decades. The researchers found that those who smoked, had high blood pressure and an elevated cholesterol at age 50 died an average of 10 to 15 years earlier than those without these risk factors. A high risk of heart disease also means an increased incidence of diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, it was not surprising that risk of death from causes other than heart disease was two to three times higher in the high-risk population. Of greater interest, perhaps, was that a large fraction of the age-50-plus population ultimately stopped smoking, lowered their cholesterol and treated high blood pressure, and yet their life expec-
tancy was not improved. In other words, the die is cast at age 50. The message is clear: Good health habits must begin early. Unfortunately, most young adults feel invincible, unable to grasp the long-term impact of unhealthy habits. By the time a medical problem arises, it may be too late. Consider the case of heart disease as a window into our future health challenges. In the last 50 years, educational campaigns against high-risk factors such as smoking, saturated fat and high salt intake contributed to a gradual decrease in the total incidence of heart attack and vascular disease. Unfortunately, recent evidence indicates this trend appears to be reversing. Even worse, the situation seems to be dire in the population under age 50. There are some important reversible factors that lead to heart attacks: cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, significant obesity and diabetes. In
a paper just published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the incidence of smoking still appears to be decreasing, but the percentage of the population with hypertension, diabetes and obesity is steadily increasing. Between 1971 and 1974, 4.4 percent of adults had none of the preventable risk factors for heart disease. From 1976 to 1980, this number increased to 5.7 percent, and rose to 10.5 percent between the years 1988 and 1994. Sadly, between 1999 and 2004, the positive trend reversed and only 7.5 percent of the population had no risk factors for heart disease. Although the most current

statistics for American health risks are not yet available, the situation appears to be worsening. It is very likely that the prevalence of heart attacks and vascular disease will only increase in the future. This is truly a turning point for the American population. Our health care system must include a far greater focus on prevention. Waiting until midlife to make the important lifestyle changes necessary for long-term health is simply irresponsible. What’s more, ignoring the health of our children and grandchildren is a prescription for disaster. All of this information clearly shows that Amer-

icans need to change the way we approach health. Good nutrition and increased physical activity must begin in childhood and remain a lifelong commitment. Efforts for health promotion must be addressed at every age and stage in life. From age 20 onward, measure your blood pressure at least twice a year. And at age 30 have a cholesterol screening for the first time. If any problems are identified, take them seriously and assure appropriate treatment. Finally, every American at any age should quit smoking. On the surface, the future seems so bright. We remain the wealthiest and most pampered nation in the world, and

Cody, The Workshop of Davidson receives honors TIMES STAFF REPORT
Kara Cody of The Workshop of Davidson, Inc. earned one of the two major awards presented to staff of member facilities by the North Carolina Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (NCARF). The Behind The Scenes Award recognizes an employee who is outstanding in an administrative position. Each of the 41 member facilities may nominate for the award. The Workshop of Davidson Administrator and Executive Director Carrol D. Gantt nominated Cody stating that her duties are many and varied as a Developmental Disabilities Qualified Professional. In addition to assisting the administrator, Cody is the program director, group home coordinator and fire & safety coordinator. Cody has been employed by The Workshop of Davidson, Inc. for over a decade, joining the organization in June 1999. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Warren Wilson College of Asheville. Cody is an active member of Macedonia United Methodist Church serving on numerous committees and in many church activities. As a charter member
of the Davidson County Civitan Club, Cody is a mentor and has been the newsletter editor for seven years. She is also a member of the Special Olympics Davidson County local committee. The Workshop of Davidson, Inc. and Wayne Opportunities Center were recognized for 45 years service to people with disabilities. Gantt accepted a framed certificate denoting the anniversary. Seven organizations were honored for 40, 35 or 30-years service. The accolades were presented during the annual NCARF conference October 1-2 at the Hawthorne Inn & Conference Center in Winston-Salem. About 70 people attended the awards luncheon on October 1. Other awards recognized a front line staff person, three community employers and six persons with disabilities that are employed in the community or a vocational facility. NCARF President Alicia Camacho of Durham Exchange Club Industries, Inc. introduced the recipients and noted that October is National Employment Disabilities Month. Assisting in the presentation was NCARF President-Elect Meg Moss of LCI, Inc. of Sanford. The late Sarah Bray,

Plummeting poll numbers VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist What can she do about it? Governor Perdue keeps slipping in the polls. A recent poll by the conservative-leaning Civitas organization showed that just 29 percent approve of Perdue’s performance and 63 percent disapprove. Public Policy Polling, a group linked to Democrats, reported her approval at 24 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. A Charlotte-area poll conducted by Elon and Johnson C. Smith Universities showed 48 percent disapproval and 35 percent approval. Why so low, when, arguably Perdue has guided North Carolina through tough times as well or better than governors of other states? Many folks who try to answer that question do not seem to be certain about their answer. (An exception, perhaps, came out in an unscientific poll by the Beaufort Observer with members of the local Greybeards Coffee Club. They gave a unanimous response to the question: “Why are Perdue’s numbers so low and getting lower?” The answer: “Taxes!!!”) Inside “experts” are not so sure that it is simply a matter of the increased taxes in the emergency budget the legislature and the governor crafted in response to the dramatically reduced revenues that resulted from the financial crisis. The lack of certainty about the cause of the governor’s poor poll performance makes it difficult to come up with good advice about what to do about it. One popular theory among insiders in Raleigh says that Perdue has been tarnished by the reports of corruption in state government and a spillover of the unending news stories about investigations into the activities of the prior administration. The insiders recommended that the governor propound new ethics rules, open government records, respond to press inquiries, and replace personnel touched by any hint of scandal. Governor Perdue followed this advice. But, as yet, her
actions have not had a discernable positive impact on her poll numbers. Another theory held by some political experts is that bad times mean bad polls for everyone in high political office. When the economy is bad and people are losing jobs or worried about losing them, when private businesses are losing their customers, and people are losing their homes, poll numbers are going to be low. People will not register approval of those who are in charge during bad times. These “experts” advise not to worry about what you cannot control. Just do the best job you can. Hope that times will get better before the next election, and don’t get distracted by the bad poll numbers. Maybe this is good analysis and good advice. But there is a problem. While Perdue’s approval numbers hover between 24 and 35 percent, President Obama’s North Carolina approval numbers, as shown in a recent poll by Public Policy Polling, stand at 45 percent. If poll respondents simply blame those in charge for continued bad economic times, why does Obama, who is more responsible for the economy than Perdue, keep a higher approval rating? There probably are lots of reasons. But one of them is that Obama is doing a better job at conveying the message, “We did not cause the bad times, but I understand how they are hurting you, and we are going to do everything we can to help you cope with these problems.” It takes real--and symbolic-action to be persuasive. A few years ago, when a drought threatened the crops in the western Piedmont, one savvy politician called a rally to pray for rain. The rains did not come in time. But the politician showed she cared, and she won the next election. Maybe not prayer rallies for her, but Perdue’s numbers will be better when she demonstrates convincingly that she is fighting every minute to help every North Carolinian get through the terrible disruption caused by the financial crisis.

Fattening the Nanny State VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Obese people and publichealth scolds have one thing in common: a compulsion to keep behaving in a way that does not produce helpful results. The obese tend to keep eating too much and exercising too little regardless of what others say. Disciples of maternal government persist in meddling in individual choices whether it works or not. One of the pet campaigns of the second group, ostensibly on behalf of the first one, is forcing restaurants to provide accessible nutritional information about their offerings. In 2008, the city of New York passed a law mandating calorie data on fast-food menus and menu boards, on the assumption that better knowledge would make for healthier eating. “Presenting nutrition information on restaurant menus empowers consumers and influences food choices,” the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene promised. Let people know that a McDonald’s Angus Deluxe is larded with enough calories to sustain a family of four for a month, the thinking went, and they’ll gravitate to something more slimming. But the early evidence suggests that people don’t choose high-calorie fast foods because they don’t know any better. They choose them because they like them, and they don’t really
care if others disapprove. That’s the implication of a new study in the journal Health Affairs conducted by researchers at New York University and Yale University. They asked questions of and collected receipts from customers at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and KFC outlets in the city before and after the law took effect, and did the same in Newark, N.J., which has no such law. The impact of the ordinance didn’t quite fulfill those fond expectations. To start with, only about half of the fast-food customers in New York said they noticed all this helpful information, and only a quarter of the patrons in this group said it made any difference in their choices. Even those who said the data affected their decisions were fooling themselves. Before the law was implemented, the average customer in New York bought items containing 825 calories. Afterward, the figure was 846. In Newark, during the same time period, the typical patron went from 823 calories to 826. In neither place did diners cut back on saturated fat, sodium or sugar. The labeling law was the moral equivalent of the Chicago Olympics bid -- lots of hype to little effect. How to explain this outcome? “New York City health officials said that because the study was conducted immediately after the law took effect, it might not have captured changes in people’s behavior that have taken hold more gradually,” reported The New York Times. Nice try. The authors of the study considered that possibility and gave it little credence. “Consumers in our sample reported frequenting fast-food restaurants approximately five times per week,” they noted, “which
indicates that they likely had repeated experiences with calorie labels before our follow-up data collection.” Moreover, said the report, “It is not clear whether continued extensive exposure beyond a month would have made consumers more or less likely to respond to labels.” Maybe the information would sink in over time. Or maybe customers who noticed at first would soon tune it out. But it’s not hard to find likely reasons for the failure of this approach. One is that the sort of people who make a habit of eating at Burger King generally don’t put a high priority on a sound diet. Giving them nutritional information is a bit like recruiting for Greenpeace at a rifle range -- a doomed enterprise. The people who are most likely to act on fast-food nutritional information are the ones least likely to encounter it, because they’re packing a lunch or eating at home. Rebecca Krukowski, an assistant professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, says another factor may be at work -- what might be called the coals-to-Newcastle problem. “Oftentimes, when people are interested, they already have the information,” she told me. “Maybe they’ve already been through a weight-control program and become well-educated about nutrition and have become pretty good at estimating calories.” So the menu labels tell them little they didn’t already know. Meanwhile, it seems, the people who lack the needed information generally prefer to ignore it when it’s foisted on them. Architects of intrusive policies, like those at the New York health department, may wonder how on earth someone could be given valuable information and not use it to make better

FONTANA, CALIF.— Jimmie Johnson called his shot. For months, the three-time defending Sprint Cup champion has been saying the addition of Auto Club Speedway to the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup was a gift to his No. 48 team. In Sunday’s Pepsi 500, Johnson proved it—and grabbed the points lead from Mark Martin in the process. Johnson’s win also left runner-up Jeff Gordon conceding that his Hendrick Motorsports teammate is in a class by himself. After the sun came out on Lap 66 of 250, Johnson was unbeatable, and not even a succession of late restarts could derail his effort. In a three-lap sprint to the finish that followed a massive wreck in Turn 1 on Lap 245, Johnson pulled away from Gordon to win by 1.603 seconds. Juan Pablo Montoya ran third, followed by Martin and Tony Stewart, who overcame a pitroad speeding penalty that cost him a lap. Though he’s now the all-time leader with four Cup wins at Fontana, Johnson said the race was anything but a “gimme.” “I try not to the have the mind-set that we come back to a track that we’ve had success at and we’re expected to run well,” he said. “You have to go out every week, and it’s the same thing for this championship.

Exclusion of ex-HiTom backfires on Cardinals
just 56 yards the past two weeks, had 164 yards on the ground. Junior wide receiver Greg Little credited the success to execution, not to the more simplified approach of the offense. He said the victory gives the Tar Heels momentum headed into their bye week, even if it came against a team from the Football Championship
It looked like 2009 was going to be a historic post-season for the HiToms of the Coastal Plain League. While former Hi-Toms from minor leagues, such as Eddie Matthews of the Milwaukee Braves and Curt Flood of the St. Louis Cardinals, had played in World Series games, pitcher Todd Wellemeyer, who is so far the only former amateur Hi-Tom, to play in the majors. This, his seventh season in The Show, was the first that Wellemeyer was on a team that reached the post-season. Wellemeyer, who pitched for the HiToms in 1999, before his senior year at Bellarmine University in his native Louisville, Ky., entered this season on a $4.05 million contract with the Cardinals after going 13-9 with them last year and establishing himself as a starter. This year he disestablished himself as a starter. Back in the bullpen, the right-hander also failed to the point that the Cardinals chose not to include him on their post-season roster, meaning there has yet been a former amateur HiTom to play post-season Major Leaguer Baseball. The favored Cardinals were eliminated - three-and-out - in the first round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, who contain some significant Triad connections. In 1990 and 1991, third baseman Jim Thome and center fielder Manny Ramirez were MVP, respectively in the Appalachian League. Both played for the Burlington Indians as Cleveland farmhands, both have had superb careers 564 lifetime home runs for Thome and 546 for Ramirez and both are now, after a series of unrelated deals, Dodgers. Ramirez now plays left field and Thome is a pinch hitter, but could be a designated hitter if the Dodgers move on the World Series. Also on the Dodgers is staring pitcher Jon Garland, who pitched for the Winston-Salem Spirits in 1999 after having been the Chicago Cubs No. 1 draft pick from the year before. The Greensboro Hornets are well represented on the Dodg-

Lewis has career day to lead Duke BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun RALEIGH — When Duke quarterback Thad Lewis trotted toward the sidelines late in the fourth quarter with a victory over N.C. State assured, Coach David Cutcliffe greeted him with a hearty handshake and a jarring declaration. “I told him it was the best game I’ve had a quar-
terback play,” Cutcliffe said. “They can get mad at me if they want.” In Cutcliffe’s world, “they” includes the likes of NFL superstars Peyton and Eli Manning, and Tennessee legends like Heath Shuler and Tee Martin. “They” might not like it, but they’d have a hard time disputing it after Lewis became the Blue Devils’ career leader in
touchdown passes with a career day and a careerdefining victory. Lewis completed 40 of 50 passes — half the incompletions coming on drops — for 459 yards and five touchdowns as Duke downed the Wolfpack 4928 on Saturday evening at Carter-Finley Stadium. Heading into the game, Lewis needed two touchdown passes to eclipse the 55 that legend Ben
Bennett tossed from 198083, but he got much more — in more ways than one. Lewis added a rushing touchdown to tie the school mark of six touchdowns in a game, and he topped Bennett’s school record of 39 completions in a 1980 game against Wake Forest. He did, however, miss exceeding

UNC looks better against Southern BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun
GAME REPORT DEADLINES: Monday-Friday 9 p.m. tvillesports@yahoo.com
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Butch Davis isn’t ready to say the offense is back on track, but he did say it took a positive step in a 42-12 rout of Georgia Southern on Saturday. Of course, the offense got plenty of help from its defense in the blowout. And after spending
the past two weeks on the wrong side of the turnover margin, UNC’s defense forced six turnovers against the Golden Eagles and the team converted four of those into touchdowns to help snap a two-game losing streak. “It felt really good [to get this win],” UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. “The past couple of weeks have been really frustrating on offense, especially
for the whole team. Just getting this win, scoring a lot of points, having some fun out there, getting some young guys in the ballgame, it worked out good.” UNC (4-2) may not have solved all its offensive problems, but against Georgia Southern (3-3) it was efficient and got the confidence booster it needed. It put up 289 yards of total offense and, after rushing for

SPORTS LEWIS From page 7 Dave Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-yearold record for passing yards by 20. Still, those records and near-records paled in comparison to the victory, one that snapped Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losing streak in ACC road games at 20 and its skid against N.C. State at 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve beaten an in-state rival since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here,â&#x20AC;? said Lewis, who was 0-7 against in-state ACC foes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us to come on the road and get this victory, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big. To break the school record and get the win, it feels great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was going out there and tossing the ball around.â&#x20AC;? The Blue Devils (3-3, 11 ACC) made it look easy on offense, scoring touchdowns on six of their first nine possessions. The only exceptions were the final two drives of the first half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even one
of those ended on a lost fumble inside N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-yard line. Still, with the offensive line giving Lewis all the time he needed and receivers such as Conner Vernon (10 catches, 86 yards) and Donovan Varner (7 for 154) taking turns making catches, Duke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the lead at halftime. Wolfpack quarterback Russell Wilson matched Lewis throw-for-throw in the first half, as both teams found the end zone on each of its first three drives to produce a 21-21 deadlock at halftime. But in the second half, when Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down one bit, the Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense found a way to slow the Wolfpack. N.C. State mustered just 74 yards in the second half after a 264yard first half, getting its only scoring on a 93-yard kickoff return from T.J. Graham. The Wolfpack (3-3, 0-2) fielded numerous kickoffs, as Duke got more yards on its opening drive
of the second half than N.C. State would get the entire half. Starting on its own 3-yard line, Duke marched 97 yards in nine plays, a drive highlighted by a 48-yard hookup with Varner and capped by a 6-yard score to tight end Danny Parker for a 28-21 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were backed up on the 3-yard line, Coach Cut and Thad came in there and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;97 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we did it,â&#x20AC;? said receiver Austin Kelly, who added five catches for 44 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thad had a swagger about him. We knew whenever we went on the field that we were going to march down.â&#x20AC;? Graham answered that TD with his return, but Duke dominated the rest of the way. Lewis led his team 72 yards on the next drive, hitting Kelly for an 8-yard score on third and goal on a night when the Blue Devils converted 13 of 19 third downs. Special teams helped Duke extend the lead
from there. A rare Duke punt bounded off N.C. State safety Justin Byers and was recovered by Duke receiver Tony Jackson at the 11, setting up a score for Vernon to make it 42-28. Later, a Duke punt hit off Wolfpack wideout Owen Spencer and was corralled by Duke linebacker Adam Banks in the end zone for a touchdown. Soon after, Leon Wright and Lee Butler added the finishing touches with interceptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as fine a team victory as you could have,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never perfection, but we absolutely kept playing and plugging defensively, in the kicking game and offensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many wins are quote, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;signature wins.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always kind of kept those to myself. ... But I probably will put a ball that recognizes this game in my office. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly worthy of that.â&#x20AC;?

CARDS From page 7 ers coaching staff. Bench coach Bob Schaeffer managed the Hornets to back-to-back South Atlantic League championships in 198081. During the first year of those championships right fielder Don Mattingly played a big role with a .361 batting average, earning himself the title of leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP He later won an American League MVP title during his great career as first baseman of the New York Yankees. On the 1981 championship squad, Schaeffer managed Marty Mason, who went 11-2 out of the Hornets bullpen to lead the Sally league in winning percentage. Mason coached in the NLDS also, but as bullpen coach for St. Louis. Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre, a 10-year big league veteran, played for the Asheville Tourists and Carolina Mudcats on his way to The Show, but that does not explain why the speedster with 459 ma-
jor league stolen bases has an important place in Triad minor league baseball history. Pierre is the first professional ballplayer to go to bat at what is now NewBridge Bank Park. At the end of spring training 2005, when he was leadoff hitter for the Florida Marlins, Pierre took the first pitch at First Horizon Park, as it was then called, in an exhibition game against the Greensboro Grasshoppers, still a Marlins farm team. At this writing the Philadelphia Phillies have won two of three games against the Colorado Rockies. The only Phillie on the postseason roster is back-up catcher Paul Bako, who played for the Winston-Salem Spirits as a Cincinnati Reds farmhand in 1994 and 1995. Crafty left-hander Jamie Moyer would have been on the roster, but he was injured in August. Colorado does not appear to have Triad connections. Contact Kevin Reid at kevin@elliottco.com.

SPORTS JOHNSON From page 7 “Just because we’ve done well the last three years doesn’t mean that we’re a shoo-in for the fourth. So I’ve just got to stay focused on my job and go out and earn it each lap and see where things fall into place. We needed to run well today to get points because, obviously, the 5 (Martin) and the 42 (Montoya) ran well.” Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon, Calif., said the appearance of the sun turned track conditions in his favor. “We did work on the car some, but I think it came to us,” Johnson said. “I think it made the track slick, and the lines I was running and the balance we had with the car really helped us. So it really came in our direction.” Johnson won the race off a restart with three laps left, after the multicar incident in Turn 1—which took out all four Richard Petty Motorsports entries—forced NASCAR to red-flag the race for track cleanup. The final three-lap segment followed a restart just four laps earlier, after Kurt Busch bounced off the Turn 4 wall and collected fellow Chase drivers Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle on Lap 239. Johnson was confident he had the strongest car, if he could just stay ahead on the restarts. “It’s such a long straightaway, and the draft is so important that the guy who is in the second row really controls who’s in the lead going into Turn 1,” Johnson said. “You almost have to get a bad restart to allow the guy behind you to hit your bumper and push you along. “I was doing it wrong, and finally on that last restart, I got it right. We had such a good car that, if somebody did pass me, I could get back by them in a couple of laps.” Gordon couldn’t agree more about the quality of Johnson’s car. “They’re in another category,” Gordon said. “We’ve got to find out what we’re missing. The only thing I felt bad about was that we finished second, and we’re in a second-class category. We’re good, but we’re not good enough. We’re doing everything we can to be good
BETTER From page 7 Subdivision. “You don’t ever want to degrade a win or take away from anything that the team has accomplished or what they came out and gave on the field, because they just didn’t come in here and lay down,” Little said. “We had to play well, which we did. I feel like it was a moral booster for us. Our offense sees that we can come out and play well.” The Tar Heels blew the game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Golden Eagles 28-0. UNC tailback Ryan Houston had two of his three touchdowns runs during that period, and the Tar Heels also got two touchdowns from their defense. Linebacker Quan Sturdivant returned a fumble 49 yards for a score and linebacker Bruce Carter returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown “I was just trying to make a play for the defense,” Sturdivant said. “He was holding the ball kind of loose, and I just reached in there and got it out.” UNC also got some momentum on its opening possession of the game, going 89 yards down field and capping the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by Houston. It was the first time the Tar Heels have scored on their opening possession this season and also was their longest scoring drive of the season. “It felt good to get the ball down field,” Yates said. In its back-to-back losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia, UNC had lost the ball a total of six times and hadn’t forced a turnover since a win over
enough, but it’s just not there. We’ve got to search and find something. We’ve got to be better than that.” With his fifth win of the season, the 45th of his career and the third straight in the fall race at Fontana, Johnson moved 12 points ahead of Martin in the standings. Montoya is third, 58 points back, and Stewart stands fourth, 84 behind Johnson. Gordon improved two positions to fifth in the standings, 105 points out. Polesitter Denny Hamlin was a major casualty. First out of the pits under caution after a pit stop on Lap 186, Hamlin led the field to a restart on Lap 190, but before he reached the first corner, Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota sat wrecked at the end of pit road. Hamlin had chosen to restart from the outside lane—the leader’s prerogative—but he turned too quickly to the inside and spun across the nose of the Chevy of Montoya, who had gotten a push down the frontstretch from Johnson. The nose of Hamlin’s car slammed into the end of the wall separating pit road from the infield grass. After extensive repairs in the garage, Hamlin returned to the track for a few laps, but his 37th-place finish dropped him to ninth in the Cup standings, 219 points behind Johnson. Hamlin was crestfallen as his team repaired his car. “I thought I was clear and misjudged it,” he said. “I got to apologize to the team. They deserve better than that. They got me out front. It was a bad mistake.” Feeling worse than he had all weekend, Kyle Busch exited his No. 18 Toyota during the first caution period, as he had done in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race. Sixty laps into the race, Busch turned the car over to David Gilliland, who started the event in his No. 71 Chevrolet and parked it after 13 laps. “I’m going to go lay down for a little bit and see if I can get some fluids or something in me at the infield care center,” said Busch, who was suffering from the flu, bronchitis and a sinus infection. “I’m sorry I had to get out. I’m not feeling well. I was coughing real bad out there.” Gilliland finished 24th, a lap down.
East Carolina three weeks ago. But that changed on the Golden Eagles’ second possession. With UNC leading 7-0, Robert Quinn sacked Lee Chapple, and the quarterback fumbled the ball, which was recovered by UNC’s E.J. Wilson. Running back Shaun Draughn then carried the ball 16 yards into the end zone on the first play to give UNC a 14-0 lead. Then 1:20 later, Adam Urbano ran for a 45-yard touchdown to cut the score to 14-7 at the end of the first quarter. But Sturdivant began the second-quarter touchdown barrage. As Georgia Southern began to drive down the field, the junior stripped Urbano and returned the fumble for a score to give UNC a 21-7 cushion. The Tar Heels forced turnovers on the Golden Eagles’ next two possessions for scores and put together a 64-yard scoring drive to build a 42-7 halftime lead. “Offensively, we couldn’t bust for nothing,” Georgia Southern coach Chris Hatcher said. The Tar Heels didn’t score any more points in the second half as the coaching staff emptied the bench. The Golden Eagles, however, added a field goal in the third quarter and a safety in the fourth against UNC’s second- and third-string defense. Even though the Tar Heels’ 42 points were the most they have scored in the first half since putting up 52 against Duke in 2000, Yates said he wasn’t reading too much into the offense’s performance. “We’re definitely not back on track or where we need to be,” said Yates, who was 14-of-20 for 118 yards. “We’ve still got a

lot of work to do on offense. We moved the ball well today, but the defense put us in a lot of good positions to do that.”

“The Chamber used to do forums, and it got to where not many people came,” he said. “Then, it just kind of came to us — why don’t we take the candidates to the citizens instead of bringing them to the candidates? We’ll take the candidates and put them in their living rooms.” Croft said that he has been approached about
doing similar presentations for Davidson County Board of Commissioners elections. In the past, the Chamber has taped existing commissioner candidate forums and aired them on Channel 13, but it hasn’t yet scheduled each individual candidate to come in and speak freely. “The suggestions we’ve gotten about doing that have come from the commissioner candidates themselves,” Croft said. “They realize what a

The county also would transfer $89,000 from the Water/Sewer Contingency for maintenance and construction engineering, which Craver said would go toward studying the sewer system. Also to be considered is an ordinance change that would create a 4-way stop at Stone Street and Guilford Street. Commissioners have been given photos of the intersec-
DEEDS From page 1 deeds.” TPS’ initiative is part of the Department of Public Instruction’s positive behavior support system. The program’s goal is to encourage good behavior and not just through discipline but by setting clear expectations for students in all areas. “We have to be very clear about what we want and how we’re going to teach it,” said Gaylord. “Students have clear rewards and consequences for what will happen so everybody is on board. We monitor performance and use data to see how we’re doing. Then we celebrate when we’ve done well.” Students are taught to follow a four-part expectation program called
ROBBERY From page 1 Gordon might have been involved in that crowd as well,” said Grice. “Rhodes has already been charged with those, but we want to talk with Gordon. I think they were together.” Rhodes was placed in Davidson County Jail and issued a $500,000 secured bond. He also had

On the consent agenda is a request from Unilin Flooring for a waiver from the minimum job creation clause of its incentive package. In its request, Unilin stated that it is on track to invest the expected $80 million by the end of 2009. Due to economic pressures and a delay in plant expansion, though, it needs a waiver from the minimum 65 percent of the target 330 fulltime employees. “When we broke ground on this plant in 2004, we had planned to have almost 400 employees by this
Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation and Courtesy (RRCC). These expectations go beyond the classroom. Children are recognized when they apply RRCC in all areas of the school, including the hallway, cafeteria, playground, field trips, bathroom, assemblies and even after school. Students who are found to be meeting RRCC guidelines are rewarded with symbols they can collect on a designated card. When students reach a goal, they are recognized for their achievement and will celebrate their accomplishment with a special activity chosen by the teacher. TPS has a theme for the program called “Buzzing with good character” where the cards are shaped like a bee hive. Once the card is filled, students receive a treat they can choose from

a variety of different items. Gaylord said one of the new things TPS is planning is an endof-quarter celebration for successful students, who will get to eat lunch with their teacher while watching movies about positive behavior. Any teacher that sees a child doing the right thing can recognize that student, whether they are in their class or not. “It shows them what we think is important,” Gaylord said. “We think treating one another respectfully and working together is very important so we can learn. The only way we can set up a respectful environment is to teach children the
things we want them to know.” Not only are students learning key life skills, referrals also have been down so far this year. “I think this is a great way to teach our children,” TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin said. “We believe in character with our students and doing the right thing, and this program is another way of getting there. This will impact not only TPS but Liberty Drive, Thomasville Middle School and Thomasville High School.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 88-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.
