Local groups oppose referendums BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

Local community groups are coming out in opposition of Thomasville’s proposed changes to its election system, even saying they will try to take legal action if the measures pass. Two referendums on the Nov. 3 ballot propose to change the term length of Thomasville City Council members and the mayor from two years to four and stagger the terms. Citizens who are against these measures will meet at 6 p.m. today at Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship, located at 7 J. W. Thomas Way, to discuss a strategy of opposition. The public is invited,

but the discussion will be led by repre- Faith and chairman of MLK-SAC. “We sentatives from the Martin Luther King feel that two-year terms are much more Social Action Committee (MLK-SAC), equitable for the entire community, and the Thomasville chapter of the Nation- that everyone running at the same time gives minorities a al Association for the greater opportunity Advancement of Col‘We are strongly opposed to win one of those ored People (NAACP) and Ministers United to changing the city consti- seven seats.” Jackson said that for Christ. tution again.’ if the referendum “We are strongly passes, local groups opposed to changing the city constitution — Dr. George Jackson plan to seek support again, and we would MLK-SAC chairman from the North Carolina NAACP to file like to avoid bringing a lawsuit against in the state NAACP president, Dr. Billy Barber, to initi- the city — an action which the organiate a lawsuit against the city,” said Dr. zation has backed in the past.

District Judge Frank W. Bullock Jr. ruled that an at-large, seven-seat election would not violate the Voting Rights Act, emphasizing that having all seven seats open at once would give minority candidates more opportunities to be elected. “It decreases the opportunity for Hispanics or African-Americans to be seated, and it keeps in power those who have been in office for an extended pe-

Thomasville Chamber favors staggered terms

City Council seeks to put concerns from spill to rest

BY ELIOT DUKE

Staff Writer Thomasville officials sought to put some worries about this summer’s large wastewater spill to rest Monday at the city council meeting. C i t y Mana g er K e l l y Craver Craver said that the city has retained the services of consulting engineers to evaluate the sewer collection system, environmental consultants to recreate the most likely scenario for the spill, and a law firm to investigate the actions of its employees. Council later passed amendments to the city budget in response to the estimated 15.93-gallon spill into North Hamby Creek, which flows into Abbott’s Creek and then High Rock Lake. It will transfer $17,500 from the General Fund Contingency to pay for contracted legal services, and $35,000 from the Water/Sewer Contingency to cover the recent fine by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. The county also will transfer $89,000 from the Water/ Sewer Contingency for maintenance and construction engineering, for a total of $141,500. Craver also cited results of independent tests for fecal coliform bateria, for which the regulatory limit is 400 counts per 100 milliliters of water. On Aug. 11, Abbott’s Creek at

Thomasville’s chamber of commerce is taking a position when it comes to staggered terms for local government. In a statement released Monday, Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce said its board of directors are in favor of a new referendum that will stagger terms for elected city officials starting in 2011. The new referendum also will change the terms for elected officials from two to four years and will be on the ballot for voters in the Nov. 3 elections. “Basically it gives voters the opportunity to vote to change the current election process,” Chamber president Doug Croft said. “Presently, all seven council persons and the mayor are elected and they serve two years and then there’s another election. This gives folks the chance to change their terms from two to fours years but they would be staggered.” According to the release, the chamber feels changing the term lengths provides the city with stronger leadership by allowing elected officials more time and energy to focus on community progress rather than worrying about positioning themselves for re-election.

Jobless rate holding steady BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer North Carolina’s unemployment rate in September stayed at 10.8 percent for the second consecutive month and remains at its lowest level since February. According to statistics released from the N.C. Employment Security Commission, unemployment actually dropped as the number of people employed increased. Employment went up by 9,696 workers compared to unemployment’s rise

Community Sponsor

of 2,857. In the past year, however, employment in the state is down by more than 200,000 workers. The unemployment rate last September was 6.8 percent. “While we have positive news about a small increase in employment across the state, the fact that the unemployment rate remains about the same as it has been for months is a sobering point,” ESC Chairman Moses Carey Jr. said. “We are making sure that every available employee is connected

with every available employer.” Between last October and this February, the unemployment rate spiked from 7 to 10.7 percent, but has stabilized since with a peak of 11.1 percent in May. Trade, Transportation and Utilities continued its slide in September, losing 6,500 workers. ESC spokesperson Larry Parker did say that the number of initial claims were down last month, meaning there

HEALTH

Broken ankle reveals challenges of disabled LIFELONG HEALTH

DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Health Columnist For the last eight weeks, I have been given a tiny glimpse into the world of the disabled, with a broken ankle forcing me to bypass stairs, seek out ramps and navigate life without the physical ease so easily taken for granted. Frankly, it was an eyeopening experience. Without the amazing work of Sen. John McCain and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who championed the Americans with Disabilities Act, I am not sure how I would have made it. The entire experience has given me an unparalleled respect for the 43 million disabled Americans who every day face an often inhospitable society. One-half of disabled Americans are over the age of 65, and for the past two months, I have added to that statistic. Since fracturing and

having surgery on my ankle, I quickly realized that navigating the world on one leg was not going to be easy. I have been unable to bear weight, walk or drive. With the help of a “Turning Leg Caddy,” a four-wheeled cycle with two soft pads on which I can rest my bad leg, I wheeled myself around and maintained some modicum of mobility and independence. But to get where I need to go, I relied on someone else to carry the caddy down the stairs, into the car and over any difficult surfaces. For a person with a disability, my three-story house was a veritable death trap. To get up to my bedroom, I climbed 20 steps on my backside (at least my arms got stronger). And once in the room, my trips outside were minimal. Weight loss was easy because access to food was impossible. And while I used an electric wheelchair in the clinic, a full day’s work was difficult. Going from one place to another, the ramps and wheelchair-accessible entryways were often too steep, frequently blocked by bicycles or mopeds, and difficult to navigate even with help. The access was inconvenient, the surfaces uneven, the path not lighted, and I

fell twice simply trying to enter a building. And then there is dealing with a wheelchair. Some doors were wide enough to navigate easily, but unfortunately those seemed to be the anomaly rather than the norm. I constantly banged doors, dinged my wheelchair and struggled to weave in and out of restaurant tables. At one establishment, I chastised the owners for not ensuring a clear path to the door, and my complaints were met with disdain. While my plight is simply temporary and a rude wake-up call, there are millions of Americans who must overcome disability every day and, despite the great advances in our “politically correct” and “accommodating” world, the challenges can still be daunting. Soon I will be “back to normal,” able to drive, live, exercise and engage in life with physical ease, but this brief stint with disability has left an indelible mark. I have new insight into how difficult life can be for disabled Americans, how much work remains to be done, and how easy it is to overlook the obstacles that face anyone with physical or cognitive disabilities. In recent decades, the

advances to help people deal with disabilities have been exceptional. Every day, it seems that new devices are making the impossible possible, and thanks to cuttingedge research, we may see a day when physical disabilities, including blindness and deafness, are completely eradicated. Though it seems fantastical, stem cell research offers promises of growing new limbs, restoring function and making physical disability a relic of the past. In the meantime, we must all open our eyes to the reality of living life with a disability. Millions of disabled Americans overcome great challenges to be “like the rest of us.” But, in many cases, they do so despite the roadblocks placed by modern society. For those of you with whom my thoughts resonate, please understand that I will forever be a passionate and neverending advocate for the needs of the disabled. I sincerely hope that my limited and eye-opening experience can inspire others to become advocates as well. With the number of 85-year-olds tripling in the next 30

years, the number of disabled Americans may skyrocket as well. Therefore, it is vitally important that we do everything possible to help Americans prepare for and manage disability. Dr. David Lipschitz is the author of the book “Breaking the Rules

Bleecker assumes expanded role at Wake Forest University Health Sciences TIMES STAFF REPORT

ing a residency in medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, he furthered his training as a research associate at the National Institute on Aging and as a clinical fellow in pulmonary diseases and a fellow in cardiovascular research at the University of California, San Francisco. Prior to joining the medical school, he served on the faculty at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

WINSTON-SALEM —Eugene R. Bleecker, M.D., has been appointed professor of genomics and personalized medicine and director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine Research at Wake Forest University Health Sciences and Wake Forest University School of Medicine, effective Oct. 1. This appointment reflects an expanded leadership role for Bleecker at Health Sciences and the medical school and a widening of the scope of the former Center for Human Genomics, which he has directed since its inception in 2000, the year he joined the faculty. Deborah A. Meyers, Ph.D., continues as the co-director of the center. Bleecker is also professor of translational science in the Wake Forest University Translational Science Institute (TSI), and his appointment continues as Thomas H. Davis Professor of Medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine, Section on Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy, and Immunologic Diseases. His appointments as professor of pediatrics and professor of public health sciences will also continue. Personalized medicine focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disease on the basis of genes and environmental factors specific to an individual. A particular combination of genes and environmental factors might indicate that a disease process is likely to be more (or less) aggressive, enabling the physician to design a treatment plan with a greater likelihood of success for a particular patient. In his role as director of the center, with its expanded scope, and his role

in the TSI, Bleecker will be the leader at Health Sciences in the continued development of the science of genomics and personalized medicine, as well as the clinical application of personalized medicine, throughout Health Sciences and the School of Medicine. Bleecker earned his bachelor’s degree from New York University and his medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate, where he also trained as an intern and resident in medicine.

Jackson said that the opposing groups had been advised that they would likely lose the lawsuit, but they would go through with it anyway. Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver agreed that the city seemed to have the legal advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the advice attorneys have given us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; outside attorneys, not just Paul Mitchell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they felt that we would prevail, but lawyers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make these decisions,â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty big deal. If you can change everybody then what else can change? Who knows?â&#x20AC;?

Craver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The highest count in any of those samples was 9 counts.â&#x20AC;? City Attorney Paul Mitchell addressed the public directly about the spill. He said he lives near Denton, on the Yadkin River near High Rock Lake, and he has a vested interest in making sure that water is clean. He showed a series of photographs illustrating his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history in the area, beginning with one taken 100 years ago and

ending with a photo taken this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ought to conduct ourselves as city, as riverkeepers and as public-spirited people, so that 100 years from now, we can still play and live in the Yadkin River,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it gives us, more than recreation, is our very lifeblood.â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said that while High Rock Lake is â&#x20AC;&#x153;sickâ&#x20AC;? and needs to be fixed up, the fecal coliform bacteria levels are well within the normal range and do not appear to have worsened much from the spill.

Jackson responded by pointing to Congressman Mel Watt, who also must run for re-election every two years and does so successfully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every two years, if all seven of them did a great job, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be back in office,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the city council can effectively reach the people and speak the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language and deal with their issues, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reelected.â&#x20AC;? Supporters of the referendums, including the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce, say that staggered terms would increase consistency in city government by preventing a simultaneous turnover of its members. Jackson said that according to his research, the last time such an event happened in Thomasville was in the late 1940s, and it has only

happened twice in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad idea to clean the slate, since there are no term limits,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe one of Thomasvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues is that we need some new blood in office.â&#x20AC;?

scenario where all new leadership is brought in â&#x20AC;&#x153;would more than likely create chaos and definitely stall progress.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If those [positions] are constantly changing, you never know what message youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be telling,â&#x20AC;?

A big difference for science and medicine VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist Dr. Carol Greider may be the only Nobel laureate to have been folding laundry when she got the call. She was up early, and there was a lot of laundry. After the phone call, she woke up her two children and told them she had won the Nobel Prize. As she told The New York Times, “One of the things I did with the press conference that Johns Hopkins gave was to have my two kids there. In the newspapers, there’s a picture of me and my kids right there. How many men have won the Nobel in the last few years, and they have kids the same age as mine, and their kids aren’t in the picture? That’s a big difference, right? And that makes a statement.” That is not the only statement Greider made with her victory, not the only big difference. I am the last one to explain her field — “telomeres” research. But when asked why that field has attracted more women than most others, she took the opportunity to explain what it takes for women to succeed, a subject that has nothing to do with telomeres, or even science. “There’s nothing about the topic that attracts women. It’s probably more the founder effect. Women researchers were fostered early on by Joe Gall (of Yale University), and they got jobs around the country and they trained other women.” Women need to help other women, she explained, because most men still help other men. “The old boys network” is no longer driven by conscious discrimination; modern men don’t say, even to themselves, “I only want to work with men.” As Greider explains, “It’s not that they are biased against women or want to hurt them. They just don’t think of them. And they often feel more comfortable promoting their male colleagues.” But do women “do” science differently? Might they be — inherently — less capable or less able, as former Harvard President Larry Summers famously suggested?

For years, feminist theoreticians and advocates have struggled with how to deal with the differences between (most) men and (most) women, how to celebrate what women uniquely bring to the table without playing into the very stereotypes that keep us from getting our seats at that table. Greider, who I am sure spends much more time thinking about different kinds of theories, had no trouble figuring out where Summers was wrong. “Women do things differently, which is why I think it would be important if more women were at higher levels in academic medicine. I think people might work together more, things might be more collaborative. It would change how science is done and even how institutions are run.” But it wouldn’t change science. It isn’t about the brain’s capacity for science. “That doesn’t mean that women necessarily have a different way of thinking about the mechanics of experiments. I think it’s more a different social way of interacting that would bring results in differently.” Different, and maybe better. Greider was a 23-year-old graduate student at Berkeley when, on Christmas Day in 1984, she made the discovery that led to this prize. She was working for a woman who had been trained by a man who believed in supporting women. This is not really complicated. Women succeed the same way men do. Someone gives them a chance. One of the most depressing trends I have encountered of late is women my age, women in their 40s, 50s and 60s, who are unwilling to help the younger women coming into our professions, resentful that it is easier for them than it was for us, dismissive of their desires to balance work and life with greater freedom than we had. What a stupid shame. Dr. Greider’s work holds promise for treating cancer. Imagine what might have been lost had she been unable to find a mentor to support her work. Consider what we have gained because Joe Gall supported Elizabeth Blackburn (who shares the Nobel Prize with Greider, along with Jack Szostak), who supported Carol Greider. And now Greider stands as a shining example to all of our daughters, and sons, about just how big a difference one woman can make.

North Carolina’s growth — gains and pains VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist “It is like you picked up the entire population of the state of South Carolina and moved them into North Carolina” This is the way Ferrel Guillory, director of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Program on Public Life, begins to talk about the impact of population growth in North Carolina since he moved here in 1972. In 1970 North Carolina had a little more than 5 million people. In 2010, we will have more than 9.5 million, up from about 8 million in 2000. The growth rate for the recent 10-year period is 19 percent. Since 1970, our state has almost doubled its population. Some parts of North Carolina are growing like gangbusters. Here for example are the 23 counties that will have grown over the 10-year period at a rate in excess of North Carolina’s 19 percent average: Union (69.7 percent), Brunswick (50.8 percent), Wake (49.1 percent), Camden (44.1 percent), Johnston (43.5 percent), Cabarrus (40.1 percent), Hoke (39.0 percent), Pender (34.3 percent), Iredell (32.6 percent), Mecklenburg (31.0 percent), Chatham (29.8 percent), Harnett (27.8 percent), Currituck (27.4 percent), Franklin (27.1 percent), Lincoln (23.2 percent), New Hanover (23.2 percent), Durham (22.9

percent), Clay (22.7 percent), Pitt (22.0 percent), Davie (21.7 percent), Lee (21.7 percent), Onslow (21.1 percent), and Henderson (20.4 percent). Although some of the growing counties are in mountain or coastal resort and retirement areas, big growth comes around the state’s growing urban regions. By themselves, Wake and Mecklenburg will have added more than a half million people, accounting for about one-third of the state’s growth. Look at the growth in the counties touching Wake and Mecklenburg, Union and Johnston, for instance, and you see that the state’s urban and suburban areas are filling up with people. In the just released edition of Data-Net, Guillory calls this development the “metropolitanization” of North Carolina. Look again at the above-average growth rate counties. There are only 23, meaning that the other 77 counties are average or below average in growth—19 percent or under. Some 14counties are losing population or not growing: Edgecombe (-7.3 percent), Martin (-7.2 percent), Hyde (-6.5 percent), Northampton (-4.7 percent), Washington (4.7 percent), Halifax (-4.0 percent), Lenoir (-3.7 percent), Caswell (-1.2 percent), Jones (-1.0 percent), Pamlico (-0.5 percent), Warren (-0.5 percent), Bladen (-0.1 percent), Anson (0.1 percent), and Rockingham (0.2 percent). The state’s rapid and uneven growth has consequences. Several of them are political. After the 2010 census, the legislature will redistrict itself and the state’s congressional districts. The political party that controls the legislature after next year’s election will do the

job—and give it the opportunity to draw district lines that will give it a competitive edge for the next 10 years. As a result, next year’s partisan battles in competitive legislative races will be wild. Another result will come about regardless of partisan politics. It will be a shift of political power to the faster growing areas, especially Wake and Mecklenburg and the nearby counties. Guillory projects that Wake and Mecklenburg together will have about 23 seats in the state House and about 10 Senate seats — or about 20 percent of each house. Add to that total the representation from the surrounding counties and the smaller urban areas in the Triad, Asheville, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Greenville. When you do, you will have a legislature that is incrementally, but significantly, more “metropolitanized” than the one that it will replace. Finally, the state’s 10-year growth means that the population of every legislative district will be about 19 percent higher than it was in 2000. For example, the average number people in a house district will have grown from about 67,000 to about 80,000 and a senate district from about 160,000 to about 190,000. All this means an increased workload of constituent service for every legislator. With the increased workload will come more calls for more staff support and for a change from parttime to full-time legislators. D.G.

What Meals on Wheels is all about

BY LARRY MURDOCK

Special to the Times Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Nutrition Program traces its roots back to Great Britain during World War II. During the Blitz, when German planes bombarded English soil, many people in Britain lost their homes and, subsequently, their ability to cook meals for themselves. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volunteer Service for Civil Defense responded to this emergency by preparing and delivering meals to their disadvantaged neighbors. These women also brought refreshments in canteens to servicemen during WWII. The canteens came to be known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meals on Wheels.â&#x20AC;? Thus, the first organized nutrition program was born. Following the war, the United States embarked on its own experimental meal program. What began as a single small program serving seven seniors has grown into thousands of locally home-delivered meal programs that serve millions of elderly, disabled, or at-risk persons across the country. The first American home-delivered meal program began in Philadelphia, Penn. in January of 1954. Margaret Toy, a social worker in Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lighthouse Community Center, pioneered a program to provide nourishment that met the dietary needs of homebound seniors and other â&#x20AC;&#x153;shut-insâ&#x20AC;? in the Philadelphia area who otherwise would have to go hungry. As is the case today, Thomasville, much like Philadelphia, found people who are not able to prepare their meals, but who simply needed a helping hand in order to maintain their independence. In Philadelphia, most of the volunteers were high school students, who were dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Platter Angels.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Platter Angelsâ&#x20AC;? would prepare, package, and deliver food to the elderly and disabled through their community. Originally, Philadelphia, in an effort both to cover costs and to main-

Some folks did go back to work, but unfortunately, others did not find work. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still seeing over 50 percent as attached claims, meaning employ-

The delivery was so efficient that seniors often would jokingly complain to volunteers if the meal arrived only a few minutes off schedule. Had there been no Lighthouse program, many of the Philadelphia seniors would have had to remain in the hospital simply to ensure they received the nutrition needed to regain their strength. As stated, the program was set up to help a very specific element of the community; it fed those who, without the service, would otherwise go hungry. Columbus, Ohio, was the second city in the U.S. to establish a community based meals program. The City of Rochester, N.Y. began its home-delivered meal program in 1958. Those cities took to the forefront in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mealsâ&#x20AC;? program. Thomasville began its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meals on Wheelsâ&#x20AC;? program in 1983 when the agency was incorporated on April 5. The first delivery of seventeen (17) meals began in August of that year. Currently, there are six delivery routes serving meals to over 100 citizens throughout the Thomasville area. Volunteers deliver the meals Monday through Friday. Thomasvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meals are prepared at Thomasville Medical Center and Piedmont Retirement Center. The daily meal consists of a nutritionally bal-

anced hot meal to eat at lunch time. Naturally, the Hospital and Piedmont Center are reimbursed for the costs of the meals. Jackie Moore, Chairperson of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meals on Wheelsâ&#x20AC;? in Thomasville this year, indicated that both Thomasville Medical Center and Piedmont Crossing charge a small fee for each meal prepared. She went on to indicate that funding and reserves are low, creating some financial concerns. The United Way appropriates funds to the agency to assist in the operation. Some local church groups as well as individuals contribute to offset the costs of the daily operation. Over 100 meals are being delivered in Thomasville, which is an all-time high. Ms. Moore indicated that the agency has lost some volunteers who deliver the meals and also some of the financial support it has received in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meals on Wheels is a great program. Gayle and I have been delivering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mealsâ&#x20AC;? once a month for about a year and a half. We deliver on Route 6 which covers the south end of Thomasville. We pick our â&#x20AC;&#x153;mealsâ&#x20AC;? up at Piedmont Center which is convenient to us since we live less than a block away. We have grown attached to the folks to whom we deliver meals. We never know, but we may be the only person that they have personal contact with during that day. Most of them are ready for their meal when

ers are still hoping to call them back at some point. When you start to see those folks called back, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start to see employment gain happen and unemployment will eventually start to go down.â&#x20AC;? Chances of the unemployment rate going down seems remote following the announcement that Dell Inc. is closing its Winston-Salem plant, leaving more than 900 people out of work. Those employers may receive extra help in the form of Trade

Adjustment Assistance (TAA), which compensates workers who have lost their job due to a company moving its operation overseas. A petition has already been filed for TAA to the Department of Labor on behalf of those employees. Parker said the latest layoffs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect ESCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pay out benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will happen is a company will file a petition with Dept. of Labor saying we had to close due to foreign competition and we have to move

we arrive and most will chat for a minute. We try to lighten up their day. I recall last Valentines Day when Gayle attached a valentine to each meal we delivered. The meal recipients seemed to enjoy that small token. Here are a few of the people that play a vital part of Meals on Wheels and deliver . Peggy Grimes, Agnes Farthing, Elsie Gregg and others have been involved in leadership roles in the local Meals on Wheels program since its inception in Thomasville. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jackie Moore at Citrin and Whitman Law Firm who is the chairperson this year. I apologize to the many other leaders that I have failed to recognize. Henry Ray, at age 80, is a very special deliverer who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow his health problems to slow him down. He and his friend, Joseph Wilson deliver meals several days each month. When asked why he delivered Meals on Wheels, Henry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do it to help the people that are shut in. The meal may be the only food they get that day, they all are so appreciative.â&#x20AC;? His delivery partner Joseph said the he enjoyed doing something to help those who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;shut-ins.â&#x20AC;? Linda Russell has involved her two sons since birth. The boys are now in high school. It almost became too hectic for them, but her sons suggested an alternative time as â&#x20AC;&#x153;they had always done it.â&#x20AC;? Why did I write this story? Because I want to share how meaningful it is to those who participate by delivering meals and hopefully, to encourage you, your civic club, your Sunday School Class, your fraternal organization, your family or you as an individual to become involved either as a worker delivering meals or by your financial help or both. Anyone interested in being involved in the program delivering meals or would like to become a financial supporter, should contact Jackie Moore at 476-3158.

In a highly-anticipated announcement that has been generating a lot of discussion — and even better, hours upon hours of spirited debate — the members of the new NASCAR Hall of Fame’s inaugural class have been announced. The announcement took place in the ballroom of the Charlotte Convention Center on October 14, an ideal location for such an event. There is something about the very word “ballroom” that is evocative of, for lack of a better word, stateliness. It is a word that conjures up the image of impeccably dressed ladies and gentlemen, moving across polished floors in graceful spins and arcs. Although the styles of each participant may differ, the dance remains the same. From a field of 25 nominees who literally put stars in one’s eyes, the following NASCAR legends were selected to take the first steps down the hall: Bill France Sr.; Bill France Jr.; Dale Earnhardt Sr., Richard Petty and Junior Johnson. Whoa. I feel like the time traveler’s wife, if the time traveler were an avid NASCAR fan who periodically fell back into everyday life with rubber between his teeth, grease under his fingernails and the faintest whisper of moonshine on his breath. The instant the names were announced, the analysis commenced. Were these the “right” five names to take the first figurative steps down that hall? The answer, of course, is yes. Selecting Hall of Famers is something like trying to pick the prettiest girl on “Deal or No Deal,” except in

He won the NASCAR Banking 500 Saturday night, extending his lead over teammate Mark Martin to 90 points in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship. Johnson drove away from the field after dicing with teammate Jeff Gordon in the closing laps of the 334-lap race. It was Johnson’s sixth win at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and put him another step closer to a fourth consecutive championship, which would be a first in NASCAR history. Trailing Johnson at the finish line were Matt Kenseth, with his best finish since winning at Auto Club Speedway in February, Kasey Kahne, Gordon, Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Casey Mears, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex and Kurt Busch.

gan Friday as teams were allowed to practice for the first time this season. And the Tar Heels, coming off a national championship in April, kicked off their season with their “Late Night with Roy” event. The night featured plenty of skits, dances and videos from both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as intrasquad scrimmages by both to entertain the crowd of 18,700.

“It was good,” senior Marcus Ginyard said. “We all just had a good time out there, but we’ll be ready to get in here tomorrow morning and get to work.” The 20-minute scrimmage, in which the Blue team defeated the White team 36-32, was the first look at UNC’s talented group of freshmen and they didn’t disappoint. John Henson (6-10, 195) was the most impressive of the bunch, showing

FRIDAY

Martin had his worst night of the Chase thus far after accidentally hitting the rear of Juan Pablo Montoya’s car on a restart. The accident ended Montoya’s streak of top-five finishes at four, and relegated Martin to a 17th-place finish. Montoya didn’t fare so well. He wound up 35th. It was not a good night for other Chase drivers as well. Denny Hamlin ran with the leaders before losing an engine. Carl Edwards was the victim of an accident and his damaged car lost an engine when he returned to the track in an attempt to get as many points as possible. Edwards was 39th. Brian Vickers had another terrible run, finishing 34th. Other drivers in the Chase wound up better with Ryan Newman finishing 11th; Tony Stewart 13th and Greg Biffle 16th. The race was delayed several

DURHAM — On a night filled with a little bit of everything, Duke junior Nolan Smith delivered perhaps a little bit too much. Leading up to Friday’s Blue-White scrimmage, the centerpiece event of “Countdown to Craziness” at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a set of moviespoofing skits were high-

lighted by Smith reprising Kate Winslet’s role in Titanic, namely the scene where a disrobed Winslet poses for a painting. At the end of the evening, Smith showed nearly as much skin, taking off his uniform during the dunk contest to reveal a Johnny Dawkins throwback uniform, complete with the too-short shorts. And in between the laughs, Smith enjoyed the

last laugh in the scrimmage. Smith played with all of his fellow starters in the first 12-minute game and exploded for 15 points to lead his White team to a 40-17 victory. Smith switched to the Blue team along with starter Miles Plumlee for the second game and helped it rally to victory, hitting two free throws with 0.8 seconds left for a 33-31 win. Over the two games,

Smith scored 25 points on 10-of-14 shooting. “I was just being aggressive, and my teammates were looking for me,” said Smith, who hit three 3-pointers in fewer than four minutes of the first game. “The coaches want me to be aggressive, so I got into the flow of the game early.” Duke’s other returning starters weren’t far behind, with Kyle Singler chipping in 20 points

and Jon Scheyer scoring 18 and dishing out 12 assists. The best action came over the final five minutes, when Scheyer, Singler and freshman Andre Dawkins (14 points) all hit 3-pointers in rapid fashion in the White team’s attempt to stave off a Blue rally from an 11-point deficit. Freshman Seth Curry (10 points), in the only

thought I was going to get in the finals, but not with them dunkers.” The finals came down to Andre Dawkins and sophomore Olek Czyz, who got the most spirited response from the near-capacity crowd by bouncing the ball in front of him, jumping and grabbing it with his left hand and then passing it through his legs to his right hand for an emphatic slam. Czyz and Dawkins shared the title after both got perfect scores on a pair of dunks in the finals. “That’s like my face, the way that people know me — as a dunker,” Czyz said. “I’m getting back from knee surgery, so I haven’t been able to do a lot of stuff. This was the

first time I’ve been able to do that. “It was a lot of fun to do it in front of the Crazies.” The entire evening was about fun first, from skits shown on the scoreboard featuring the Duke Improv (assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski merits mention for his portrayal of Don Corleone) to contests that featured fans playing musical chairs with a basketball twist. “Crazie Choice Awards” included Christian Laettner’s famed shot to beat Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament as the “Best Buzzer Beater” and Duke’s remarkable rally at Maryland in 2001 as “Best Comeback.” Laettner, a guest coach

along with Bobby Hurley, and Jason Williams were on hand to accept the awards. The players and staff put a lot of preparation into Friday’s festivities, and now with practice underway — including an autograph session (11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) and open practice (1-3 p.m.) today — they’ll begin building toward more serious stuff. “It was amazing; it was a great atmosphere,” Smith said. “We did a lot leading up to this. We just had a lot of fun, and all of it was great team bonding. “We had a lot of laughs, and we want to have a lot of fun winning this year.”

From page 7 this game, every suitcase contains a million bucks. You can’t go wrong when every choice is right. The thing that’s so cool about the inaugural class for NASCAR’s Hall of Fame is that this group sort of represents a “Reader’s Digest” version of the sport’s evolution. Bill France Sr. founded NASCAR, fed and watered it and watched it grow tall and strong, with deep roots and ambitious branches. His son, Bill France Jr., took over its care in 1972, and over the course of the next 30 years, moved NASCAR from a sport people sometimes felt forced to watch, to a force to be reckoned with. None of this phenomenal growth and success could have been possible without the athletes themselves, and they more than did their part. Junior Johnson moved stock car racing from the cover of darkness to prime time. Richard Petty set a standard of racing excellence by which all drivers will forever be judged. And Dale Earnhardt showed that men could not only move those machines, they could also move merchandise, sponsors’ products … and the hearts of millions of fans. Inevitably, some are arguing that the list is too modern, that true legends from stock car racing’s past — guys like Red Byron and Raymond Parks — might have gotten overlooked in a rush to populate the Hall with celebrities. It is an understandable position. When you really think about it, athletic halls of fame are living history lessons, moving visitors brick by brick from a sport’s foundation to the pinnacle of its skyscraper. Harvard University professor John Kotter, who is widely considered an authority on leadership and change, says that leaders establish a vision for the future and set the strategy for

getting there; they are a catalyst for change. Some people — you know, those annoyingly ambitious, motivated types who make your teeth hurt — believe that if we have nothing to look up to, we will forever be looking back. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes it is not only necessary, but absolutely right, to look back. The heroes of the past play an integral role in pointing present and future generations in the right direction. This is the reason halls of fame exist in the first place, to recognize and honor their achievements. In the final analysis, it seems a little disrespectful for anyone to say, “Yes, these five men are certainly deserving, BUT …” But what? Without the combined efforts,

talent — and yes, drive — of Petty, Johnson, Earnhardt and the two Mr. Frances, NASCAR might look very different. They worked hard and did a spectacular job. They literally made the sport what it is

today. If that isn’t reason enough to give them the very best seats in NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, I don’t know what is. They lived their lives always striving to be first. Now, they are.

he returned to the track in an attempt to get as many points as possible. Edwards was 39th. Brian Vickers had another terrible run, finishing 34th. Other drivers in the Chase wound up better with Ryan Newman finishing 11th; Tony Stewart 13th and Greg Biffle 16th. The race was delayed several minutes by a cold, spitting rain but it stopped and Johnson took off from the pole in quest of another win at LMS, a track he owns in recent statistics. Sam Hornish Jr. brought out a caution on Lap 3 when he spun and barely glazed the second Turn 2 wall. The race was back underway at Lap 7 and Hornish spun again, this time off the fourth turn. Once again, the former Indy 500 winner escaped with no serious damage to his car. When the race resumed on Lap 13, it was Johnson out front, followed by Martin, Kyle Busch, Newman, Kahne, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Montoya, Kenseth and Hamlin. Montoya had gained 10 spots in just a few laps from his 18th starting position. Rain prompted NASCAR officials to throw a caution again on Lap 35. Following pit stops, Kenseth was the leader on the 42nd lap restart with Johnson and Kyle Busch right behind him. Rounding out the top 10 were Hamlin, Biffle, Kahne, Montoya, Gordon and Newman. Johnson eventually regained the lead with Hamlin in second and Kenseth third. By Lap 70, Johnson had built nearly a full-second lead, showing everyone why he has been so successful at this 1.5-mile hometown track. However, just a few laps later, Hamlim zoomed to the front in his FedEx Toyota owned by Joe Gibbs. All of the frontrunners pitted under green between Laps 93 and 96 and when the smoke cleared, it was Kenseth in front briefly before Hamlin took back over, followed by Kyle Busch, Johnson, Montoya, Mears, Martin, Bowyer, Kahne and David Reutimann. Kyle Busch spun in Turn 4 at 120 laps to bring out another caution. Gordon was the leader on the 124th lap restart with Biffle, Newman and Hamlin in tow. Martin got into the back of Montoya on the restart, causing considerable damage to Montoya’s Chevrolet. Montoya dropped well back in the pack due to the accident because his right rear fender was bent outwards, acting like a parachute catching the wind. Dale Earnhardt Jr. pulled into the garage shortly after the restart with transmission problems. At the halfway mark (162 laps), the top 10 were Gordon, Hamlin, Johnson, Kahne, Kenseth, Biffle, Newman, Bowyer and Bill Elliott. Montoya brought out a caution when his illhandling car spun shortly before the halfway point. He lost two laps while his crew made repairs.
