2010 ELECTION
Swicegood looks to bring fresh ideas to board
Small business development at top of Yates’ agenda
BY ERIN WILTGEN

Ronald Swicegood, a Democrat from Lexington, will compete for one of four spots for Davidson County Commissioner in the November election. Running primarily because he thinks that the county could use some change in leadership, Swicegood says that a different point of view will yield positive results. “We’re just going to have to get in there and look through everything and see what kinds of new ideas new members can bring to the board,” he said. “I think we’re going to have to try some new things that we haven’t tried before.” With a sluggish economic recovery, bringing more jobs to the area remains top of every politician’s mind. Swicegood says he is no different, naming economic development one of his top priorities. But he says the Davidson County Economic Development Commission needs some work. “We need to go in and look at economic development and go through them with a fine-tooth comb,” he said. “They’ve made a few improvements here lately, but the last few years they haven’t been up to scratch.” An important aspect of stimulating the local economy involves encouraging the growth of small business, Swicegood says.
With more than two decades worth of business experience under his belt, Todd Yates has certainly felt the ups and downs of the e c o n o m y. He’s navigated government regulation, Yates endured the growing pains and celebrated the thrills of expansion. Now, the Republican from Lexington hopes to put that hard-earned knowledge to good use as he competes for one of four spots for Davidson County Commissioner in the November election. Owner of three companies — Yates Disposal, Yates Paving and TCB Builders — Yates says small businesses are crucial to the local economy. “They’re the backbone of Davidson County,” Yates said. “We’ve got to work together with the businesses to make it more small businessfriendly. It’s a tough job. I’m in business and have been for 25 years, and this is one of the worst years I’ve seen.” And Yates says government’s role in helping these companies make it through the rough economy is simply to stay out. “We’ve got just too much government control over the small businesses,” he said. “It’s putting them out of business.”

Maj. James Mills of the Thomasville Police Department will retire on Jan. 1, 2011, after 30 years of service to the department.
BIG SHOES TO FILL Maj. Mills to retire after 30 years of service at TPD BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Thomasville Police Department Maj. James Mills considers himself a novice historian. There are few places around town where Mills doesn’t know an interesting fact or tidbit that dates back well before he joined TPD as a young police officer in 1981. After spending the past 30 years writing his own history at TPD that saw him rise all the way to second in command, Mills is ready to start on the next chapter of his life. Effective Jan. 1, 2011, Mills is retiring, feeling the time is right to pass the torch to a younger generation. “I was told early in my career that a police department is a gladiator’s arena that is best fought
‘In my heart, I’ll always be a cop. It’s just time to turn a new chapter ...’ — Maj. James Mills Thomasville Police Department by young gladiators,” Mills said. “In my heart, I’ll always be a cop. It’s just time to turn a new chapter and let the young gladiators handle it.” Mills came to TPD in 1981 after serving in the Air Force, and would spend the better part of three decades ascending up the ranks. He served as a shift patrol sergeant, shift lieuten-
ant, district watch commander, community policing coordinator and TPD’s training director. He worked under four different police chiefs — Don Truell, Larry Murdock, Ronald Bratton and current chief Jeff Insley — and can remember a time when officers actually had to share radios and write out their own police reports. “I never thought I would see the day I carried around a Blackberry,” Mills joked. “I feel like I’m the last of the dinosaurs. I take being a public servant literally and I followed that philosophy. I tried to deal with one person at a time and I tried to treat people like I would treat my own mother or sister.” Now that Mills has decided to

TCS program reducing teen pregnancies BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Teenage pregnancy is an issue thousands of young people across the country deal with every year. Thanks to increased awareness and prevention programs, the rate of teenage pregnancy has steadily declined over the past two decades, especially in North Carolina. In 2009, the teenage pregnancy rate dropped to all-time low in the Tar Heel State, according to statistics compiled by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. New data shows that teenage girls between 15-19 had 1,256 fewer pregnancies in 2009 from 2008, as the rate fell from 58.6 to 56 percent per 1,000 girls.
“It’s very exciting,” Mary Jane Akerman, wellness coordinator for Thomasville City Schools, said. “It’s not just women, it takes two.” TCS and Communities in Schools of Thomasville have partnered with North Carolina Public Health have found great success implementing prevention programs that have lead to a 16.6 percent drop in Davidson County’s teen pregnancy rate. Programs such as Teen Pep Peer Education and the Making Proud Choices curriculum inform young students about the choices they make when it comes to their bodies and the impact those decisions can have. In 2009, TCS received a statewide award for recognition as one of the state’s top school systems when it comes to addressing teen-
age pregnancy. “I’m very proud in the fact that we have one of the strongest pregnancy prevention programs in the state,” said Akerman. “We have a very broad comprehensive program in our schools. We try to get the kids to realize the impact of a child born to a teen, whether it’s financial or emotional” TCS starts out educating middle school students about puberty and age-appropriate programming continues throughout high school. Teen Pep is a course for credit that junior and seniors at Thomasville High School take to become educators for other students. The program is in its fourth year and was the first one to be implemented in North Carolina. “It’s a powerful model because

Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to line it up with some local banks to work with small business to try to fund them, kind of help lead them through the first couple years in business. Out of 25 years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot of things the hard way that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to share with a new business developer.â&#x20AC;? In each of Yatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three companies, his business method of choice is to get potential clients on the phone. He says that 95 percent of his business is sought-after work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do as county commissioner is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d solicit business to come to Davidson County,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Steve Googe who does that for us, but the more people working on that, I think, the better the results.â&#x20AC;? One business sector specifically that Yates would like to recruit is retail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take any kind of business, but retail service business would be where
I would like Davidson County to more toward,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the vineyards, and I wish a lot more people would participate and visit the vineyards. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see more development around our major interstate ramps.â&#x20AC;? Part of that recruiting process would need to include more sewer and infrastructure near the interstates, like the Intersate-85 exit by Highway 109. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lose so much of our tax dollar from people driving to surrounding counties to spend their money,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happens, then our service tax dollars go to the surrounding counties, and we need that tax base to stay here in Davidson County.â&#x20AC;? Tourism, on the other hand, is not something the candidate would like to improve, Yates says. Though originally from Denton, Yates grew up in Savannah, Ga., where tourism remains a staple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I welcome tourism, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have some good attractions here in Davidson County, but we cannot rely on tourism as our main industry. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work well hand-in-hand with some other stuff that we have, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be our No. 1 industry.â&#x20AC;? Economic development aside, Yates says education also ranks up on the challenges facing future commissioners, especially given the state of the economy and the poten-
tial of further state cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are going to have to be some tough decisions made,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate our politicians in Raleigh putting us in this predicament to begin with. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to have to buckle down and try to get more businesses in Davidson County that will gives us a broader tax base to fund our school systems. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depend on Raleigh to hold together to fund our school systems when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having such a shortfall.â&#x20AC;? As far as transportation goes, Yates says the I-85 bridge project will occupy most of the North Carolina Department of Transportation funds for a while, especially since the money came from future federal highway funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That bridge will probably cost $180 million before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over with, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $180 million worth of future highway funds that we will not be get-
ting,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good. I wish they had built the bridge 10 years ago and started saving for future projects.â&#x20AC;? Another future project the county may look into revolves around green technology, such as solar panels and wind turbines. But Yates says that, while such energyefficient methods are the way of the future, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite realistic yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to see solar panels on the top of my house, but all of the studies that I have done say the technology will increase in the next five years and the cost will decrease in the next five years,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a direction we need to go, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to jump into it when the technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite there and the cost is so expensive. The tax payers just cannot afford it.â&#x20AC;?

Think, think, think VIEWPOINT
MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist The upcoming elections all have one thing in common. There’s a higher than average level of hysteria about what it all means. The constant analysis from every corner of the media and the steady stream of TV ads is wearing us all out. Instead of making for a richer discussion about health care, new jobs or immigration we’ve gotten bogged down in mass worry. We are spending a lot of time thinking about what’s not happening. The question that the media and politicians want to stir up isn’t about solving what’s right in front of us but an open-ended query about whether or not we can stop unknown catastrophes in the future. There’s a list of tempting choices like possible terrorists on our soil or Wall Street running amok or health care being denied to seniors. That one about Wall Street gives me a pause occasionally. However, we can only create change in the day that we’re actually in by taking the next small step in front of us. Looking out at the horizon and worrying generally leads to doing nothing at all. Besides, most of what we fret about never actually happens. Even worse, while we were so busy trying to prognosticate we miss opportunities to build something that would improve, enrich and stretch the boundaries of our communities for the better. Imagine if all of those early pioneers had first worried about what might happen when heading westward. They’d never have left at all. If we were to just insist that the topics be kept to what each politician plans to do next we’d finally have a clearer picture of where they actually stand on each issue. It’d probably be more boring but good government isn’t supposed to be entertaining. It’s not too late to step back and take a look at where each candidate in your area stands on the issues that
matter to you. Go to their individual web sites and start reading. Pay careful attention to whether or not there are any quantifiable suggestions about how they plan to accomplish the tasks. Or are there loads of broad statements about what could go wrong or how things ought to look without any specifics from them on how they’ll accomplish their goals. We don’t need a lot of details but get enough to see if the candidate really knows how to handle the role. That would be a minimum in a job interview. If any of the rest of us was asked in an interview how we’d strengthen the bottom line and all we said was losing market share was bad for business, we’d be shown the door. Yet, somehow we get turned around by the pundits and attack ads till we are so worried about what’s not actually happening that we forget to ask the right questions. So, with the two weeks we have left, visit your candidates’ web sites and bring along a few questions that apply specifically to your current situation. Look for answers on health care that you need to know for the upcoming year and see if they have specific steps to a solution. Take the same approach to making sure the infrastructure such as roads and schools are up to date and reliable. We can even use the same process to determine if there’s any kind of reasonable steps to create new jobs or are they only pointing out we need them. Thanks, we already knew that one. Then, prioritize the list in order of what needs doing most. Every family knows that there may be a long list but they can’t all get done at once for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest is the budget. Ask where the money is coming from to pay for all of it. Don’t get distracted by the alarmists who insist that we need to do it now and can worry about paying for it later. Take into consideration how each decision will affect the community right around you. Armed with that much information you’ll be able to turn off your TV for awhile and go hang out with friends and family instead. Make sure and vote everyone.

Rise of bitter clingers VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Many of my more enlightened friends like to ask me: How could someone as intellectually gifted, delightfully urbane, profoundly moral and breathlessly handsome not want to spit at these stupid tea party candidates, with their stupid positions and their stupid stupidity? (That’s slightly embellished; obviously, I’m not that handsome.) Do I wish there were more articulate and intellectual free market candidates? Sure I do. But alas, Americans are in no mood for know-it-alls who think sailing is a sport. Do I wish that sciencechallenged believers would resist the urge to raise their hands when asked whether they believe the world is 5,000 years old? God, yes. But an election offers limited choices. Take Delaware, where voters can pick a candidate who had a youthful flirtation with witchcraft or one who dabbled in collectivist economic theory. Only one of those faiths
has gained traction in Washington the past few years. And as far as I can tell, there is no pagan lobby. Do I wish that Colorado senatorial candidate Ken Buck hadn’t declared that being gay is a choice (as if there were something wrong with choosing to be gay)? Yes. Do I wish he hadn’t followed up by comparing a gay genetic predisposition to alcoholism? I do. If you were brainy enough to watch “Meet the Press” instead of wasting time in church last Sunday, no doubt you cringed at that primitive lunacy. After all, what’s more consequential than a faux pas about nature and/or nurture? Who cares that Democrat Michael Bennet was busy moralizing about the cosmic benefits of dubious economic theory and science fiction environmentalism — ideas that have already cost us trillions with nothing to show for it? Just as long as we stay focused on what’s important, right? We’re so easily distracted. Those who believe being gay is a choice are Neanderthals. The enlightened trust science. That’s why the president appointed a science czar, people. A science czar who co-authored a textbook arguing for a mass sterilization of Americans to prevent an imagined population bomb. You know, “science.” God has no place in this faith. That’s not to say that Yahweh has anything on our president, who once
claimed future generations will see his election — Goliath government — as the point in history when we finally started “healing the sick” and “the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Now, that’s the kind of faith-inflected lingo we slack-jawed yokels can comprehend. Otherwise, the left’s plans are just too darn complex for us to appreciate. “Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now,” Obama recently explained, “and facts and science and argument (do) not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hard-wired not to always think clearly when we’re scared. And the country is scared.” (Wait. If we’re hard-wired to be confused and we’re confused, isn’t science winning the day? It’s all so perplexing.) Science can explain all, including how bitter, frightened, clingy voters aren’t grateful enough. Or — and I realize this is probably crazy talk — voters aren’t scared; they have just been paying attention and are turning to candidates who, though far less than perfect and not always sophisticated, better reflect their sensibilities.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor Free Lunch, Santa Claus, No Taxes, Vampires and Werewolves… If you believe in all of these, then you might be able to believe that your insurance company and government healthcare plans will provide “Free Physicals” once a year. Preventive healthcare is crucial, but no matter what one’s insurance agent may say, adult preventive services can rarely be singularly applied in accordance with national CPT coding guidelines. If you have no medical problems, concerns or findings and if you never have, then you may qualify. Otherwise, the highly touted, “no co-pay”, “no cost-sharing” or “free physical” will be denied or applied to your deductible and/or co-payment by your insurance company. As the manager of a medical practice, I strongly encourage the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner to eliminate ambiguous and deceptive language in policies and promotions. I sympathize with the frustration and difficulty of understanding the actual provisions of insurance policies and legislation. I am on your side. Cathy M. Poole Kernersville

one steadier or more reliable than Congressman Howard Coble. It is comforting to know that there is at least one leader who still listens to the people and acts accordingly. Howard Coble is accessible and hard-working for us -- his constituents. Howard has remained true to his conservative principles while becoming a leader in our nation’s capital. We are fortunate to have some as capable and consistent working for our best interests. Howard, as long as you keep attacking wasteful spending in Washington with that sharp pencil of yours, we will keep voting for you. George McClellan Greensboro
To the Editor Early voting has started, Election Day is fast approaching, and I am still mulling over some of my choices on the ballot. There is one category, however, that is a no-brainer and that’s for the 6th District U.S. House. My choice is Congressman Howard Coble. Voting for Howard Coble is easy because he tells you how he thinks and he votes accordingly. He is not one of these wishy-washy types who tries to appease all and pleases no one. Howard Coble is a forthright, conservative leader who listens and genuinely cares. You are on your own for the other races, but take it from me, the easy call for November 2nd is Congressman Howard Coble. Karen Hughes Greensboro

A6 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, October 21, 2010
FROM PAGE A1 MILLS From page A1 retire, he plans on spending more time with two grandsons and getting back to doing Civil War re-enactments. He wants to tour old battlefields and is contemplating growing out his beard now that he is no longer restricted by facial hair guidelines. In the end, Mills said he will miss putting on his badge every day and spending time with the other officers. “I have mixed emotions,” said Mills. “I always knew that I wanted to be a police officer and now I’m not going to be doing that any more. I’m just becoming an old hunting dog who doesn’t want to chase the fox any longer. Officer for officer, I would put any officer from here up against any
officer from any other agency.” One of the things that is making Mills’ decision easier is the state of TPD. Under Insley, Mills feels TPD is heading in the right direction for the foreseeable future. “I’ve only been here for a little more than a year but I consider him a friend,” Insley said. “We’re going to miss him. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the department and he has an interesting perspective. His knowledge of the department and the community leaves a big hole for us moving forward. He will always remain a part of the this family.” TPD is planning a retirement dinner for Mills on Dec. 21. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.
PROGRAM From page A1 we tap into the resources of young people,” Akerman said. “Their peers are so much more receptive receiving that information from other peers. Hearing it from someone your age has a different impact that getting in from a grownup.” Statistics did show that a disparity exists among racial and ethnic groups when it comes to teenage pregnancy. The rate of teenage pregnancy with white teens is 45.4 percent per 1,000 girls compared to 74.3 for minorities. North Carolina currently has the 14th highest teen pregnancy rate in the United states, according to rankings by the National Campaign to prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. “I’m just tickled to death that we have programs in place that are obviously making a difference,” Judy Younts, director of Communities in Schools of Thomasville, said. “It’s a matter of being proactive instead of being reactive. We want to address something before it becomes a problem, and I think that’s how we’re making a difference. The more we educate our children, the better prepared they will be to make important decisions.”
IDEAS From page A1
“Small business is the backbone of the economy of the whole U.S.,” he said. “It always has been in Davidson County.” Tourism, on the other hand, will not be the savior of the local economy, Swicegood says. While Davidson County has much to offer in terms of history and culture, the commissioner-hopeful maintains that the industry won’t be the main source of jobs or revenue. “Tourism’s not going to support a family,” Swicegood said. “We’ve got to find jobs, good manufacturing jobs.” Since the economy has left such a wreckage of unemployed in its wake, Swicegood says education must pick up the slack and work to make county citizens more employable. “It’s more important than ever that we educate our young people so they’re ready,” he said. Taxes are also an im-
portant issue for Swicegood. While the county has managed to keep the sales tax even, the candidate says that’s not good enough. “Let’s see if we can lower the tax rate,” he said. “We’ve done several revaluations, and they haven’t lowered the tax rate. That’s like a tax increase. We need to drop the tax rate down when they do revaluations.” Overall, Swicegood says he’s running on a platform of change, of disrupting the status quo. “I’d like to bring some common sense back to the Board of Commissioners,” he said. “Let’s not be taking ownership of bridges that are going to be a burden for the taxpayers for generation to come.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.

Have you ever visited the Great Lakes? These huge bodies of water in the northern United States and southern Canada attract many tourists. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also important to transportation and industry in some of our states. This week, The Mini Page finds out more about these amazing lakes.
We think of the Great Lakes as five different bodies of water. But they are all linked together. 1. From Lake Superior, water flows down the St. Marys River into lakes Huron and Michigan. 2. From Lake Huron, the St. Clair River carries water to Lake St. Clair, and from there the Detroit River flows into Lake Erie. 3. From Lake Erie, the water goes down the Niagara River and over the famous falls into Lake Ontario. 4. After that, the water flows through several small lakes and then down the St. Lawrence River, where it finally reaches the Atlantic Ocean. The entire journey for a drop of water is more than 2,000 miles!

Supersport: Wes Welker Height: 5-9 Weight: 185
The Great Lakes form the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest freshwater system. About 20 percent of our planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh surface water is in the Great Lakes.

In short, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a receiver who gives back.
)N THE EARLY S &RENCH EXPLORER Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River, hoping to find a passage to China and Japan. When he reached what is now Quebec, he claimed the river and surrounding areas for France. &ROM THERE OTHER EXPLORERS MOVED west, discovering the Great Lakes in the early 1600s. When Frenchman Jean Nicolet arrived in what is now Wisconsin, he believed he had reached China â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until he saw Winnebago Indians.
How did the lakes form? Scientists believe that the Great Lakes area was once part of the Atlantic Ocean. They have found fossils from sea creatures around the lakes. Thousands of years ago, a glacier (GLAY-shur), or river of ice, spread across the land in much of the Northern Hemisphere. The ice and rocks frozen in it were heavy, and when the ice began to melt, there were large holes left. Some water drained into channels, which became rivers. Some collected in the holes and This map shows North America when glaciers became the Great Lakes. covered much of Canada and the northern United States.
Settling and working in the Great Lakes area Settlers also gathered furs of native animals. They began mining iron and copper from the ground. Ships moved these items around on the lakes.
Soon more people moved west from Europe and the East Coast of North America. Some settled in the Great Lakes area. They fished and used the large forests for lumber.

This ship is pulling into the Soo Locks between Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saultâ&#x20AC;? is pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;soo.â&#x20AC;? It means waterfall.) These locks make it possible for ships to travel between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Without the locks, ships would meet rapids in the St. Marys River and a drop of 21 feet.
Canals and locks
Important for people
Early ships traveling the Great Lakes had trouble moving between them. Rivers were too narrow or shallow, and waterfalls made passage dangerous. People began to build canals and locks, machines that raise and lower ships between different levels of water. For instance, if a boat is going from a river into a lake and the river is higher than the lake, the boat will steer into a lock. The lock will slowly release water until the boat is at the LAKE LEVEL AND THEN THE BOAT WILL EXIT the other side. The Welland Canal runs between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. By traveling on this canal, ships can avoid Niagara Falls.
4ODAY MORE THAN MILLION Americans and Canadians depend on the lakes for drinking water and jobs. The lakes contain 6 quadrillion gallons of freshwater.
Dangerous waters The lakes are very important in transporting iron ore and grain across the northern United States and to the Atlantic Ocean for shipment to Europe and Africa. Because the lakes are so big, they can also be dangerous. Big storms cause trouble for ships, especially during the fall months. The Great Lakes are famous for some terrible shipwrecks. The most recent major shipwreck on the Great Lakes was on Nov. 10, 4HE S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was hauling taconite 4!#+ OH nite), a type of iron, from Superior, Wis., to Detroit. A terrible storm hit Lake Superior that afternoon and evening, and the Edmund Fitzgerald SANK WITH CREW MEMBERS ON BOARD

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?
Large cities have grown up along the lakes, including Chicago (above, along Lake Michigan), Milwaukee, Cleveland and Toronto, Ontario.
Today, ship crews have GPS and advanced radar systems to help them navigate. But before these technologies, they used lighthouses to help figure out where they were and how close to land the ship was. Many historical lighthouses still stand along the coasts of the lakes. The Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior has been retired. But it is lighted once a year, on Nov. 10, in honor of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Surveying & Land Planning Services
Once upon a time, though not so long ago, Thomasvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old railway depot stood in glory. A passenger depot built in 1870 and a major stop on the new North Carolina railroad, the little building served as a transition post for the rich folks traveling by train to visit the hunting lodge right across the street.

Years later, the depot still stands as one of North Carolinas oldest depots and, despite its age, still serves the people of Thomasville as a visitors center. The foundation of the depot lies in the beginning of the railroad. The idea for the North Carolina railroad began in the 1840s with the passage of a $3 million tax. N.C. Senator John W. Thomas, who represented the Thomasville area, started the town which became known as Thomasville along the proposed route of that railroad.

1870 on the opposite side of the railroad tracks as a passenger depot. In 1912, the building was moved to the side of the tracks on which the building currently stands, and served as a baggage and freight warehouse.
In fact, according to some accounts, Thomas traded a four-horse drawn wagon-load of bacon for 1,500 acres of land which would become a primary part of Thomasville. Thomas then built his own depot and a general store along the tracks, and the area became known as Thomas Depot before it was called Thomasville. The ďŹ rst train passed through Thomasville on Jan. 20, 1856, and by 1860 Thomasville was a thriving city with 308 residents, a female seminary constructed by Thomas and a shoe factory. The depot now standing on Main Street was ďŹ rst built in

A major stop on the North Carolina railroad, the Thomasville Depot sent soldiers off to war and shipped furniture all across the country. During the Civil War in 1864, Gen. James Longstreets corps rode through the Chair City on the railroad to join Gen. Lees army in Virginia. The depot eventually fell out of use when Thomasville ceased to be a railroad stop and was restored between 1975 and 1977 by the Thomasville Historical Society. In 1981, the building was added to the National Register of Historical Places as one of the oldest if not the oldest depot in North Carolina.

There was a Shaquan Johnson sighting last week in a 63-6 Thomasville win over East Davidson, and that has got to worry the remaining three teams on the schedule. With an already difficult running game for opponents to try and stop, the Bulldogs (8-0, 2-0) unleashed a weapon they knew they had all along, but one that has not been needed too much this season. Johnson scored four touchdowns, ran for 123 yards on just two carries, and made life miserable on the Golden Eagles’ defense. With a West Davidson team that has lost three straight and took a 55-0 beating at the hands of Lexington last week, Johnson may get a chance to put up similar numbers.

Duke heavily favored in ACC BY BRIANA GORMAN & STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun CHARLOTTE — Duke is the near unanimous, or maybe the full unanimous, pick to win the ACC men’s basketball championship, according to media covering the league. The Blue Devils, the reigning NCAA champions, received 61 of 62 first-place votes from media members who attended ACC Operation Basketball on Wednesday. But the lone dissenter, Chris Miles, a reporter from Roanoke, Va., television station WDBJ, said his vote for North Carolina was a mistake. Either way, Duke is a resounding favorite. It’s the ninth time in the past 15 years, and the second year in a row, that Duke has been the preseason league favorite “Our program and our fans are accustomed to hav-
ing a target on their backs,” Krzyzewski said. “I’d rather have it there than not have it there.” Virginia Tech, with five starters back from a 25-9 team, was picked second, with UNC, N.C State and Florida State rounding out the top five. The rest of the poll, in order of finish, was Maryland, Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Virginia and Wake Forest. UNC is coming off a difficult season when the Tar Heels finished 5-11 in the ACC and 20-17 overall, missing the NCAA Tournament. UNC coach Roy Williams, before learning Miles’ identity, joked the first-place vote for the Tar Heels had a hidden meaning. “That had to be a North Carolina graduate that hates Duke,” Williams said. “I’m always pulling for the American against the guy from the foreign coun-

Homecoming at Ledford on Friday will present a series of compelling storylines. The matchup will feature a pair of t e a m s battling for a red e m p tive win, as well as two coaches Adams that will both step onto the field simultaneously at Panther Stadium for the first time in over three years. Chuck Henderson returns to face the school he coached for seven seasons for the first time since taking the post at Asheboro last year. Panthers coach Chris Adams will lead his team into Friday night’s game looking to best Henderson, with whom he coached as an assistant before leaving to become assistant principal at Central Davidson. The homecoming tours collide at a crucial time, as Ledford (2-6, 0-2 Mid-Piedmont 3-A) and the Blue Comets (2-6, 02 MPC) are looking for their first league win. “It’s certainly a big game for a bunch of different reasons,” Adams said. “It always helps when it’s homecoming.” Coming off a 34-18 loss to Southwestern Randolph in a game the Panthers led at halftime, Adams remains bent on not losing focus. He refuses to get caught up in the hubbub and feels as though his players have shown they’re not interested in the sideshow either, having posted two days of solid work at practice. “I don’t ever care who we’re coaching against. We just want to go out and do things the right way,” Adams said. “We were able to show our kids a lot of positive

Blue Devils still support Renfree as quarterback BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Firmly entrenched as Duke’s starting quarterback but in the midst of a rough patch, Sean Renfree is hearing a lot of voices these days. Some, like his father, his coaches or ex-teammate Thaddeus Lewis, he’s sought. Others he hasn’t. Duke coach David Cutcliffe made it clear Tuesday how he feels about outside influences trying to impact Renfree, the redshirt sophomore coming off a five-interception day in a 28-13 loss to Miami last Saturday. “He knows who to listen to — [Duke assistant] Kurt Roper, his daddy and me,” Cutcliffe said Tuesday. “The rest of ya, the hell with ya.” Cutcliffe smiled but didn’t laugh. He’s serious about keeping his quarterback focused on getting better, even as the similarly slumping Blue Devils (1-5, 0-3 ACC) prepare for Saturday’s challenging game at Virginia Tech (5-2, 3-0). That’s why he hasn’t wavered in saying that Renfree is Duke’s No. 1 quarterback. Freshman Brandon Connette will continue to get
snaps in games as he has all season. But Cutcliffe said that’s the same as last year, when Renfree received some playing time even while Duke had a talent like Lewis, who graduated as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards. “Sean is challenged,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s a big boy. He is taking the challenge on; he is not running from it. He understands the responsibility. “I think our squad has confidence in him. I can’t make that be and neither can he.” It’s clear from talking to the Blue Devils that Renfree, whose 14 interceptions are more than any other Division I quarterback, has not lost his team. “I’d say probably half his picks this year are from us,” Duke wide receiver Conner Vernon said. “Balls are coming into our hands and winding up in the [defensive backs’] hands. Plays we should make, we are not making. “He’s putting the ball where it needs to be. If it hits our hands, we’ve got to catch it. That’s the rule of
Breland returns to lead Lady Tar Heels BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — Leadership was the one thing the North Carolina women’s basketball team lacked a year ago, as the young squad recorded the most losses by the Tar Heels since 2000-01 and fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This season, however, the Tar Heels hope to bounce back from a disappointing 19-12 year with one of the most inspiring players in college basketball as their guide. Preseason All-American Jessica Breland is back on the court after sitting out the 2009-10 season after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. With the disease in remission, the senior forward is determined to get UNC back to the top of the ACC. “There is no doubt this is her team,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said during the Tar Heels’ media day Tuesday. “She wants to have a great senior year. She wants to win. “She talks to me about everything. She says, ‘I don’t really care that much about my teammates being my friends, I want them to respect me. And I want to win.’ “ Breland’s mission to help UNC improve started during the summer when she made each player on the team agree to workout contracts that included consequences, such as shooting an extra 1,000 shots, if sessions were missed. She organized pickup games and team outings, and made sure players didn’t use excuses to cut corners. Breland said that no one took charge while she was undergoing treatments during the summer of 2009, which carried over into the season, and she wasn’t going to let that happen again. “I knew the main thing that we were lacking last year was leadership,” Breland said. “I felt like no one wanted to step up or felt like they could step up and lead the team, and I felt like I was the perfect person to do that. “When it comes to talent, we have it. When it comes to being disciplined and making yourself do something, we kind of lack at it.” And Breland’s return does not just give the Tar Heels a leader to rally around but also a boost on the court. She
‘There is no doubt this is her team ... She wants to have a great senior year ... She wants to win.’ — Sylvia Hatchell UNC head coach averaged 14.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 blocks during the 2008-09 season and will give UNC a consistent inside option that was missing a year ago. “If you throw her the ball, you know she’ll do something with it,” point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid said. Physically, Breland is back to 100 percent, although she sometimes gets winded because of lung damage caused by the chemotherapy. She said when she first began working out again, she had lost some of her foot quickness and inside moves but she rapidly regained them. Hatchell said that in some ways, Breland is in better shape now than two years ago because she was sick then but no one had realized it. “We couldn’t get her healthy during the season,” Hatchell said. “We thought it was all kinds of things. So, physically, she’s in better shape than she was probably those last two years that she played.” The Tar Heels also return the majority of their roster, including five players who had at least 19 starts during the
2009-10 season. Senior guards Italee Lucas and DeGraffenreid give UNC one of the most experienced backcourts in the country, as they were the Tar Heels’ top two scorers a year ago with 14.7 and 14.2 points a game, respectively. But for UNC, the biggest difference this season will be having a healthy Breland available. “Last year was hard,” Hatchell said. “When a team goes through a kid having cancer and taking chemo and all, no matter what you do to try and help the sun come out, the black cloud is still there. ... “But you know what, the sun’s out and it’s probably shining brighter than it’s ever shined before.”
thumb for a receiver.” Renfree said Tuesday that he appreciates all the support, saying he’s in a good frame of mind as he prepares for a Virginia Tech defense that’s intercepted eight passes (fifth in the ACC) this season. He’s working on finding the rhythm that’s escaped him since he completed 71 percent of his throws for 708 yards in Duke’s first two games this season. “I’ve kind of drifted away from my fundamentals,” Renfree said. “That’s hurt me sometimes.” Cutcliffe senses that his quarterback is pressing somewhat. “He’s trying to create plays when that’s not his role,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s playing outside himself.” While respecting Cutcliffe’s words of warning regarding who to listen to, Renfree is remembering advice given to him during a Monday night phone conversation with Lewis, who is on the St. Louis Rams practice squad as the No. 3 quarterback. “If you know Thad’s personality, he’s a very fun-loving guy,” Renfree said. “He said ‘You are running the show. Just go have fun. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.’ “
HiToms hire Curtis as General Manager for next season TIMES STAFF REPORT The HiToms announced Tuesday the hiring of Jamie Curtis as their new General Manager. Curtis comes to High Point/ Thomasville after spending the last three years as Assistant General Manager of the Coastal Plain League’s Gastonia Grizzlies. “I enjoyed my time in Gastonia,” Curtis said. “I worked with some amazing people and gained a lot of insight about the business of baseball which I will carry with me into this job.” During her time in Gastonia, the Grizzlies broke the franchise attendance record each year. Curtis was heavily involved in all aspects of baseball operations for the Grizzlies. “Curtis has the experience and pedigree necessary for our organization to continue its growth,” HiToms President Greg Suire said. “Jamie’s passion for baseball and her
knowledge of the industry will provide us with the leadership ingredients necessary to continue our expansion of area baseball opportunities.” A graduate of North Carolina State, Curtis started her career in baseball in 2001 with the South Atlantic League’s Kannapolis Intimidators. Following a two-season stint with the Intimidators, Curtis joined the Durham Bulls staff for the 2005 season as a box office assistant and onfield promotions coordinator. Spending one-year with the Bulls, Curtis then joined the Gastonia
Grizzlies of the Coastal Plain League as the marketing and promotions intern and then spent 2007 in the Coastal Plain League office. “I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work for such a great organization,” Curtis said. “The HiToms are a staple in the High Point/ Thomasville area and in the Coastal Plain League. Greg is truly passionate about the game of baseball, youth development and this community. I can’t help but be excited about being a part of it all!”

The preseason all-conference team is led by Duke senior Kyle Singler, the lone unanimous pick. Duke’s Nolan Smith also made the team, along with Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney, N.C State’s Tracy Smith and Chris Singleton of Florida State. Singler was picked as the league player of the year, while UNC’s Harrison Barnes is the selection as rookie of the year. Williams is confident Barnes can

McCandies has passed for 643 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for seven scores. Moore comes in with seven touchdowns to his credit and 860 rushing yards. He has an average of over six yards per carry with a 122-yard average per game. “In some ways they are like us offensively,” Cline said. “They are an I-formation team with some gun sprinkled in. Their big tailback runs hard and the quarterback is dangerous because he can throw the deep ball real well. It should be a

That’s the mark of a young team and it’s no secret that’s what we are.” The Panther defense will be asked to shut down an Asheboro offense that is in transition. A loss to Thomasville on September 24 left the Blue Comets without its starting quarterback, who is sidelined with an injury. “They lost their firststring QB against Thomasville, but the kid they’ve had in there has had an open week and two weeks to get better,” Adams said. “I’m sure he’s getting more comfortable.” The healthy respect

He takes a great deal of pride in people thinking that’s he’s going to be pretty good, and then that drives him to work hard enough to do that.” Familiar face at Miami Frank Haith, who grew up in Burlington and graduated from Elon, is in his seventh season as Miami’s head coach.

The Bulldogs had 91 yards worth of penalties in the first half, but they controlled all other phases of the game so it wound up not mattering. In the final two weeks against Lexington and Salisbury, though, it could wind up being costly, but Cline is not too concerned considering the past leading up to last week. “That is the first time we have had something like that this season,” he said. “We definitely need to minimize penalties like we have had up until last week.” Central @ East Two weeks ago, the Central Davidson Spartans were considered contenders in the Central Carolina Conference

Their opponent — East Davidson — has found the first two weeks of conference play to be just as tough, losing to Lexington one week and THS the next.

ing time on Miami’s campus since, as James so famously said, “taking his talents to South Beach.” Haith said James and New Orleans guard Chris Paul were looking for a place to play basketball one day. Paul and Haith have been friends since Haith, then an assistant coach, recruited him to Wake Forest. Paul called Haith, who allowed them to use Miami’s practice facility. With so many NBA players living in South Florida, Haith said it’s not unusual for them to be around his program. Of course, there’s only one LeBron. “He’s a different level,” Haith said. Cast of newcomers Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik was one of three new coaches who experienced their first ACC media day
Wednesday. Bzdelik, who replaced Dino Gaudio in April, said being at a tradition rich program in one of the top leagues in the country is vastly different after spending the past three seasons as the coach of Colorado. Bzdelik said that when he arrived at Colorado, which had won just seven games the previous season, he spent part of his time trying to build a basketball culture. “Now flip it over to Wake Forest,” Bzdelik said. “The tradition is there. The support is there. “Those things are in place, whereas in Colorado we were trying to develop a tradition and culture from the ground up and that’s hard to do. But at Wake Forest, those things are in place here, and I don’t have to go out and try to get people to come to games.”

NASCAR notes: Martinsville NASCARMEDIA.COM The 2010 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup has reached its halfway point and what better place to start the stretch run for the series championship than Martinsville Speedway, recognized as one of NASCAR’s most storied race tracks. In fact, the historic Virginia halfmile oval is the only track that was on the schedule in the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season (1949) that still hosts the series today. At the midway point of the Chase heading into Sunday’s running of the TUMS Fast Relief 500, here’s what we know: Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson (No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet) has a 41-point lead over Denny Hamlin
(No. 11 FedEx Toyota) in his quest for a “drive for five” championships. Kevin Harvick (No. 29 Shell/Pennzoil Chevrolet) holds down the third position, 77 points out of first. While 156 points out of the lead, Jeff Gordon (No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet) has had measurable success at Martinsville. The four-time series champion leads all active drivers with seven wins at this short track and his Martinsville Driver Rating (123.0) is second only to Johnson. And for those who think that Gordon can’t overcome a 156point deficit, consider the fact that in 2006, Johnson was 146 points out of first place with five races to go in the Chase and wound up winning his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
title by season’s end. The top two in the point standings — Johnson and Hamlin — have been absolutely superb in their Martinsville performances of late. Dating back to this race in 2006, the two have combined to win the last eight races at Martinsville. Hamlin, a native of Chesterfield, Va., is the defending race winner.
