Winter and Wives’ Tales Weather predictions come from unusual sources
BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
“I think the county should have the primary responsibility of educating the citizens and making sure the schools hold pace, are not overcrowded, and making sure that there is enough staff to teach the kids,” Williams said. Part of that involves an aggressive stance in securing grant money for schools and in advocating for higher teacher pay, he add-
North Carolina’s unemployment rate continued its downward trend in September, but experts feel the state isn’t out of the woods quite yet. According to statistics released Friday by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, the state unemployment rate dropped to 9.6 percent in September, marking the seventh straight month in which the rate has dipped. It also marks the first time the state rate is not above the national rate since March 2008. Employment in September increased by 10,100 jobs with the largest growth occurring in government. Manufacturing, however, lost 3,800 jobs, and the fact the state isn’t experiencing a broader range of job growth is one of the reasons experts feel the recession will linger. “The bigger thing we’re looking at is overall job growth,” ESC spokesperson Larry Parker said. “We’ve had so much up and down from month to month throughout a lot of the job sectors. But something we’re starting to notice is that some of these job sectors are having some pretty good gains, albeit small ones. Construction and manufacturing are down but pretty much every other job sector is up. I think it’s just going to be a slow process. Over the last six or seven months, we’ve just had inconsistent job sectors.” Unlike the recession from 2001-02, when the

DENTON — If woolly worms and persimmon seeds are any indication of what kind of winter is coming, Davidson County residents should get ready for a lot of snow in the next few months. Winter predicting wives tales have been around for ages, and they tend to make for great conversation amidst farmers and anyone else who has heard of nature’s little signs of weather to come. In Davidson County, a Denton couple has proof positive that snow, and a lot of it, is definitely in the winter forecast. Sort of. Curt and Sarah Jack own The Persimmon Branch Farm in Denton where the couple grows apples, peaches, asparagus and hachiya persimmons. What people may not know is that persimmon seeds are thought to be a great predictor of what kind of winter is coming. When a seed is split open, one of three shapes — a fork, a knife or a spoon — can be found on the inside of the shell, and each one carries a much different fore-

Education, business support a priority for Williams BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Kevin Williams entered into politics inspired by his children — and their future. A Democrat from Lexington, Williams will face seven challengers for the four Davidson County Commissioner seats in the Nov. 2 election, and though neither of his kids have started kindergarten, that age is fast approaching. “Education is important, it’s the No. 1 reason families might stay in a county

other than jobs,” Williams said. “We need to make sure that schools continue to be good so people stay and people move here. That in itself will raise some money — people spending more money here, more sales tax, more property tax.” Williams With that in mind, Williams says that ensuring quality education rests on the shoulders of county commissioners.

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer Emmanuel Baptist Church has taken its mission of empowerment to a whole new level. When the Rev. P. Michael McNair sat down with church leaders to plan the 2011 calendar, he voiced the idea of creating a week of empowerment. Even then, he hadn’t envisioned anything as complex as what it has become. Combining five days full of enrichment activities, Empowerment Week 2010 — which spans from Wednesday, Oct. 27, to Sunday, Oct. 31 — will seek to educate the entire community about health,
family, the economy, jobs, outreach, and friends. “Every day is a possible life-changing opportunity,” McNair said. “That’s how powerful information is. The right information to the right person at the right time can change your life. No one should miss out on this opportunity.” The week kicks off Wednesday with a health awareness fair from 3 to 8 p.m. This fair features booths from a variety of health institutions from the Thomasville Medical Center to the Dragonfly House to the March of Dimes. Different groups will provide blood pressure checks, HIV testing and dental screenings free
of charge. The Red Cross will bring its mobile unit for blood donations since the blood bank rests at a critical low. “It’s just a wealth of health organizations and information that we as a city, a community, a county need,” McNair said. “I’m an advocate for information. Lack of knowledge is probably America’s biggest enemy.” Aside from the agencies looking to improve individual health, the fair also will host insurance companies to offer options to those who may not be able to afford the costs of health care. “It’s rough to hear that you need to do this with
your teeth and this with my body but at the end of the day you don’t have the money to afford it,” McNair said. “We’re not going to leave you out
there.” In a jump to less cerebral activity, Family Day

FROM PAGE A1 From page A1 follows health education, running from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday. Family counselors, games and a family meal will work to bring the idea of a family unit back to the forefront and strengthen those relationships, whether it be a single-parent family or not. “The family makes up the community,� McNair said. “If family breaks down, the community breaks down. We have the health and then at the end we have the money, but there are a lot of people with perfect health and a pocketful of money, but they don’t have anyone to share it with. Secretly, emotionally, they are a wreck because there’s a breakdown in the family and that probably hurts more.� McNair stresses the power being surrounded by loved ones can bring, saying that a broken family — not necessarily a single-parent home but a household that does not function as a unit — can have lasting and detrimental affects. “You’ve got people around here that aren’t feeling the best and don’t have two pennies to rub together, but they have a group of family around them,� McNair said. “Family can make or break you. If you have a group of people you love around you, they can lift up your spirits on the worst day. That’s empowerment.� Photographers also will be available to take family pictures at reduced prices. Packages start at $25, says Leah McNair. “And these are some professional photographers,� she added. “They’re really taking a bite out of their budget to do this. But it’s all for the community.� Friday, Oct. 29, marks the economic awareness and job fair, which goes from 3 to 8 p.m. On-thespot hiring will be available, as will more than 40 job openings through Davidson County Joblink Career Center. A small business showcase will paint a picture of the variety of local companies working in the area. Accountants will help small business owners as well as individuals learn how to manage finances, and banks will be on hand to help people set up accounts or learn about loans. A few universities
as well as the Army, Marines and the Air Force also will be present to provide educational opportunities. “This is a part of economic empowerment because if you want better in the area of money, you might need a better education,� McNair said. “We’re covering all bases.� Outreach Day and Hallelujah Night will take place on Saturday, Oct. 30, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. as an alternative to Halloween. Children are welcome to come in costume, and plenty of candy will be available, McNair said. The event also includes games, a food bank and free haircuts from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as a clothes closet with articles for all ages and sizes that will be open all day. “It’s just a day of outreach,� McNair said. “If you need food, you’re going to get it. If you need clothing, you’re going to get it. If you just want to be around someone and be loved, we can do that too.� A more spiritual event will tie the entire week together in Family and Friends Day on Sunday, Oct. 31, beginning at 10 a.m. “The message will be catered and generated toward the idea of family and friends, how important family and friends are and how we must unite as a church and a community,� McNair said. “If we do that, hopefully it’ll ripple effect, and we can come together as a nation.� Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.
JOBLESS From page A1 unemployment rate rebounded fairly quickly due to the fact mainly textiles and furniture manufacturing took the hardest blow, the current economic climate is affecting job growth across the board. Parker said he would like to see consistent job growth over a period of several months. “We have a few sectors that gain jobs and a few that lose jobs,� said Parker. “We just can’t get that consistency with overall job growth. Until we do that, we’re never going to tap into that 247,900 jobs loss since the start of the recession in December 2007. We’ve got a long way to go.� Davidson County has seen several announcements over the past two months regarding job creation, such as TIMCO coming to Wallburg and Save-A-Lot opening a distribution center in Lexington. But until these businesses actually open their doors, just how many jobs will be created remains uncertain. “Job announcements are great and we cer-
tainly welcome them, but ultimately, until the business opens and they begin hiring, it’s really difficult to measure how well it will do for the area,� Parker said. “Someone may say they’re going to hire 100 people and then a year later they only end up hiring 60. While 60 is good, 100 would’ve been really good.� Since last September, when the state unem-
ployment rate was 10.9 percent, the number of unemployed people has dropped by 62,534 and the number of employed workers is up 19,309. There are still more than 430,000 people in North Carolina who are looking for work yet can’t find a job. “The September labor force data reflected a small decrease in the unemployment rate,� ESC
Chairman Lynn Holmes said. “While the monthly job numbers indicated that government employment had the largest increase, the state experienced gains in several job sectors as well. Over the year we have experienced job gains in several employment sectors.�

Reason to hope VIEWPOINT
EDITOR Staff Writer
Why does it always take something so extraordinary to remind people that there really is reason to hope? Like many others across the globe, I was captivated by what happened in Chile last week, as 33 miners were rescued from a collapsed mine 2,000 feet underground after more than two months of being trapped. When the news first broke back in August, I remember feeling that this would end like most of the other stories involving trapped miners — tragically. Just trying to fathom how these men could possibly survive this ordeal seemed unrealistic. It simply doesn’t happen. Stories like this always seem to end with the miners running out of air or starving to death or never being found at all. The odds seemingly point to tragedy when all the factors are considered. Little by little, however, signs of a miracle started popping up. First of all, the miners were located after nearly two weeks of frantic searching by a group of people who never gave up looking. Workers managed to drill a small hole no bigger than a softball down to the men, giving them a lifeline to the surface that would provide life’s basic essentials — food, water and air. Knowing that these men — fathers, husbands, sons, brothers and friends — were still alive, workers and volunteers from all over the world put their collective minds together in an effort to somehow get them to the surface alive. As the weeks passed and the journey to the center of the earth progressed, early projections had the miners being rescued by the first of the year, in a best case scenario. In order to get these men out, a hole the size of a car tire had to be dug so a small capsule, shaped much like a torpedo, could be lowered down this makeshift shaft. Rescues like this just don’t happen. Most people my age and older vividly remember Baby Jessica being rescued from that storm drain back in the late 1980s. The images of that little girl coming out
of that hole and into the arms of that construction worker touched the lives of the entire planet. It was and still is one of the most incredible examples of the human spirit I have ever seen. Take that situation, add 32 more people at a much deeper depth, and that was Chile. The odds were astronomical against one man seeing the light of day again, more or less all of them. The Chilean people had every right to withhold hope. Earlier this year, the country suffered through a massive earthquake that killed thousands, so the mining disaster almost seemed to add to their misery. This was a time when Chileans could easily have questioned God and whether or not a divine being was really looking over their country. It certainly didn’t appear that way. Instead, Chileans believed even more and the world followed. We all wanted to see this end happily, and in a way, we all needed it to end happily. With so much negativity around us every day, we need miracles, even small ones, as reassurance that everything is going to be OK, despite all the pain and suffering being reported in the news on a nightly basis. Last Tuesday night, the nightly news gave us that miracle. One by one, miners started emerging from the ground to sounds of cheering and an outpouring of emotion. The endeavor took almost 24 hours before the last rescue worker turned out the lights on that 2,000-feet-deep apartment. Chile had their miracle, and we were all there to share in the celebration. If this whole experience teaches us anything it’s to never give up hope. That four letter word can be more powerful than any missile or tank. Hope can lift people above all despair and it gives us a reason to face the most difficult situations, blindly at times. I would hate to think of a world without hope because the one I saw last week had so much of it. I only wish there were more days like that. It’s a shame life has to throw us a disaster to realize just how much good there is in the world, and to see what our planet can be when we all unite for one common goal. Like Jor-El said to his son Kal-El, otherwise known as Superman, “They can be a great people if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way.” Those miners and the country of Chile gave us that light and showed us the way.
East Davidson turns pink THIS-N-THATS
LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Well, to start off with, I have some dates to give you to write down in your pocket calendar or on a “sticky note” to attach to your refrigerator door, which is a good message board. First, thanks to the Fair Grove Lions Club for once again sponsoring the Thomasville Christmas Parade. This years parade will be held on Saturday, Nov. 20. Starting time is 3 p.m. and the route will remain from Lexington Avenue into downtown Thomasville and end on the south side of the underpass at Julian Avenue. While we’re talking about the Fair Grove Lions, they also sponsor Bingo at their “Lion’s Den” located at 502 Willowbrook Drive on the second Thursday of each month from 6:30 until 9 p.m. (The next dates are Nov. 11 and Dec. 9. Proceeds from Bingo help support their work with the blind. However, prizes awarded are merchandise prizes instead of cash. ••• Secondly, put December 31 on your calendar for the Thomasville Woman’s Club’s New Year’s Eve Ball with the “Tom Holladay Orchestra.” More information as the date draws nearer. ••• Pink is the color associated with breast cancer and October is the month for breast cancer awareness. The students and staff at East
Davidson High School are doing an outstanding job promoting that awareness. Last week was a week of awareness on the East campus. I attended the East Davidson/Thomasville football game at East Davidson last Friday night. The East football team was all dressed out in pink socks to draw attention to the cause. Although I didn’t see it, I was told that one of the officials also got into the action with a pink penalty flag. The East team also had a pink decal on the back of their helmets. The pink decals were furnished by the EDHS Booster Club. Some of the events of Breast Cancer Awareness Week at East Davidson: Mrs. Warrick’s Volleyball team wore pink; Paige Walser and the PEP club collected donations for the Susan G. Komen Foundation; Students wore pink to school on Friday. Also on Friday, the EDHS Art Club painted pink ribbons on student faces during lunch. Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. Billy Hunt is the principal at East Davidson. He indicated that it was a special week to him since his mother is a Breast Cancer survivor. Mr. Hunt said, “I am very proud of the way our students supported the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. The students at EDHS are a special group.” •••
In the last article, I wrote about the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame naming two men who will be inducted this year. I also made note of Thomasville-area athletes who have previously been inducted. I had included former Ledford coach Bob Tobin in that group. Somehow, his name didn’t show up in the printed newspaper column. It’s my fault, when I “cut and pasted” the names in the article, apparently his name was erroneously dropped. Bob didn’t complain but others called and noted the error. Sorry Bob, it wasn’t on purpose. The induction into the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame was held last Saturday night. I also mentioned the death of Dave Wright, WFMY-TV’s Atlantic Weatherman, in my last column. An auction was held last weekend to sell some of George Perry’s original artwork and items used on his well-known TV show. The “Old Rebel Show” was also of WFMY-TV fame. His show aired on WFMY from 1950 until 1977. Mr. Perry died in 1980 and is buried in Statesville’s Oakwood Cemetery. Gayle remembers being one of the little “kiddies” on the “Old Rebel Show” in 1958. ••• Do you remember some of the music of the ‘40s? How about “Moon Glow” by Artie Shaw or “The Hut Sut Song” by Horace Heidt and & His Musical Knights; or “Rhumba Boogie” by the Andrews Sisters. I know you will remember, “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” by Jo Stafford and Frankie Laine. Those were oldies but goodies. I am sure most of you will not have these old “records” but you can go online and enter the song title and an icon will pop up with that song. Just click on the icon, sit back and enjoy.

WILLIAMS From page A1 ed. Quality education also helps on the economic development front, making the county more attractive to incoming companies and creating a better workforce, Williams says. “People need to be educated,” he said. “We have a wonderful community college that does a great job. I wish we had more money to help people go to the community college if they’ve been laid off.” Though Williams says some money is available, many individuals don’t qualify for the aid. Increased scholarships will get more people into higher education and a better chance at getting a job. A small business owner himself — Williams owns a small computer store in Lexington — the candidate stresses the role of these smaller companies in local economy. “Small business of course is the heart of the county, the heart of the country,” Williams said. “It is probably the most important thing that needs to be done.
TALES From page A1 passing the information along. We’ve had some people say they expect a very cold winter.” Hachiya persimmons are not indigenous to North Carolina. The Jacks brought hachiya persimmons to Denton from California when they opened their farm eight years ago. They originally planted 250 trees but only 60 remain today. Hachiyas differ from native persimmons in that they don’t have nearly the number of seeds. North Carolina persimmon seeds also are featuring the spoon more times than not. Persimmon seeds are not only forecasting device farmers use to predict the weather. “I’ve been told that when acorns start falling early, that means a very cold, snowy winter,” Curt Jack said. “I think the Farmer’s Almanac is saying that, too.” According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, this winter will be colder than normal with below to normal precipitation.
The question has always been how do you bring small businesses to the county? How do you help citizens here in the county that want to start a business?” One place is to start is with something the county has already implemented, but just improve upon it. “I believe that we simply need to be more aggressive with financial incentives,” Williams said. “People who are starting a business, they need help, and everything costs money — joining the Chamber of Commerce costs money, joining the Better Business Bureau costs money and it costs money to get a business license.” Williams also says the county needs to form a committee specifically focused on developing small business. This group should help owners through the logistics of running a business and look for grants that might be available to small companies. “A committee that reports directly to the Board of Commissioners made up of small business owners will really help them figure out what needs to be done,” Williams said.
Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 888-3576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.
Snowfall is expected to be above normal with the coldest time being from mid-January to mid-February. April and May also are expected to be colder than normal. “We hear a lot of tales,” Sarah Jack said. “People have fun with it. Our customers come up to us all the time asking what kind of winter we’re going to get. We’ll all just have to wait and see.” A recent festival in Banner Elk is lending support to the theory this winter will be a cold one. During the 33rd Annual Woolly Worm Festival, a caterpillar named Jack forecasted snow through the holidays and even into March. Legend has it that the width and order of a caterpillar’s black and brown stripes can predict the winter. Jack’s stripes are predicting a warming trend in January, a chance of ice in February and an extremely cold March that will end in snow. For Curt and Sarah Jack, a cold winter can be a good thing for their farm as apple and peach trees need a certain amount of chilling hours. “The only problems we
ever have is when we get a late frost,” Curt Jack said. “Three years ago, we lost almost half of our crops due to a late frost. It’s the risk you take. It makes it worthwhile because our customers don’t have to go to the sand dunes for peaches and they don’t have to go to the mountains for fresh apples.” Spoons and woolly worm stripes may not be an exact science. Meteorologists around the world will put Doppler radar up against acorn seeds any day. For those who like a good story, sitting around a pile full of persimmon seeds looking for kitchen utensils is as reliable as turning on the news.

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist On Thursday October 14th I was one of millions who was paying close attention to the news. That was the day that Chile was able to perform the miracle of pulling thirty-three miners from their collapsed mine. It is a powerful story of what we as humans can do when we pull together to help each other. It’s also a story that reminds us of the importance of hope. Sixty-nine days prior to their rescue, the thirty-three men reported for their regular shift at the mine. What seemed like a routine day turned into a nightmare when the mine collapsed. The first hours and days are critical if there is any hope for survival when a mine collapses. It was seventeen days before the rescuers made first contact with the trapped men. They were over 2000 feet below the surface. It is not hard to imagine that these men struggled to maintain hope. I am sure that as we hear each of these men’s stories that there will be moments of doubt, fear, desperation and hopelessness. It would take a great deal of effort as hours turned into days to maintain a sense of hope and optimism. I can also believe that their faith in God was put to one of the toughest tests. They were not the only ones who were struggling. There were also the families who were up on the surface. They knew that the chance that their loved ones survived grew slimmer as each hour passed. It is not hard to imagine the sleepless nights and the worried filled days. There was the frustration of not having answers and the endless hours of wait-
ing. Their faith and hope was also on trial. Seventeen long days later, first contact was made. It is hard to believe that 52 days after first contact that the 33 miners would emerge after a sixteen-minute ride in the Phoenix. It was impossible to hold back the tears as each man was reunited with their loved ones. I couldn’t sleep that Thursday evening until I knew that the four rescue workers who willingly went down into the mine in the Phoenix were also back on the surface. These events illustrate the need to keep hope alive when we are going through the trials of life. It is easy to become discouraged and to extinguish hope. We must actually fight to keep hope alive and sometimes we have to turn to others to find the strength to maintain the battle. Where there is hope there is life. One of the major factors that helps people survive tragedies such as the miners faced is the force of hope. Hope can be tangible. We have hope for tomorrow. We have hope for a better day or situation. We have to believe that things will turn out for the best even when it seems dark and hopeless. Many of the trapped miners arrived on the surface and thanked God. They said their faith gave them the strength to press on. One of the miners told people that there were 34 men stuck in the mine. When he was questioned about it, he explained that God was with them. God was with the men 2000 feet under
ground and He is with the people in the International Space Station. That means that God is also with you no matter what your circumstances and especially if you are going through a trial of your faith. It would be wrong to assume that faith and hope alone could sustain us through difficult situations. We must also have love. Each of us needs to be loved. Love can break every barrier of the heart and mind. Love can heal and restore life. It is important to both give and receive love in order for the human heart and spirit to survive. Hope gives us the desire to move forward. Faith gives us the courage to survive. But it is love that conquers and allows us to win the victory. If you are facing trials and problems that seem overwhelming, I want to encourage you to dig back in the closet of your mind and find hope. Let the blood of hope flow through your arteries and renew your strength. Maintain your faith in God who will never leave or forsake you. And allow His love, which is perfect, to flood your heart and soul with the grace and peace you need to make it each day. The three keys to overcoming have always been and will always be faith, hope, and love. Doug Creamer teaches Marketing at East Davidson High School.

‘Dogs slay Dragons, 42-0 BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
SOCCER Salisbury @ E. Davidson 7 p.m. SOCCER N. Forsyth @ Ledford 7 p.m.
Thomasville is making its run through the Central Carolina 2-A Conference look entirely too easy. Friday night at Cushwa Stadium proved to be nothing more than a glorified scrimmage for the Bulldogs, as Thomasville ran roughshod over the West Davidson Green Dragons in a 42-0 dismantling that wasn’t even that close. In improving to 9-0 on the season, including three straight CCC wins, the Bulldogs out-gained West 234-16 in total offense in the first half and they scored a touchdown on every possession until midway through third quarter.
“That is a good football team over there,” THS assistant coach Dickie Cline said. “We just have to keep getting better. There’s a lot of pride and tradition here. The coaches do a great job getting the players prepared throughout the week. We’re a business-like team in the way we approach each game.” With a list of impressive wins already on its resume, THS added another one against the Dragons. The Bulldogs orchestrated a flawless 15-play, 92-yard drive on their opening possession, led by tailback Quin Riley. The senior carried the ball 12 times on the drive and found the end zone from four yards out
Unlike football, where coaches meet halfway to exchange game film come playoff time, volleyball teams rarely know much about teams outside of their conferences. Just ask Ledford head coach Kara Berrier. One day before her team’s North Carolina High School Athletic Association 3-A state playoff game, she admitted to knowing nothing about their opponent, Gray’s Creek (7-17). Heck, she didn’t even remember their name. “I do not know anything about them at all and I have never even heard of them,” she said. “To be honest, I cannot even remember their name right now.” For Berrier, she does not need to know about the No. 4 seed Bears from

The squirrel initiation
East falls short of comeback BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor The scoreboard may have read 40-37 in favor of Central Davidson Friday night, but in some aspects, it was like a win for East Davidson. East came back from a 34-6 halftime deficit, coming up an onside-kick short of a miraculous comeback on Homecoming. Bryan Lingerfelt’s emotions afterwards reflected how proud he was of his team, which hasn’t had much to be excited about this season. “That comeback was tremendous,” Lingerfelt said. “That just goes to show that you never give up and that you need to believe in each other. Even though we lost, people are going to talk about what we did in the second half. This will be a homecoming that many will not forget.” The Golden Eagles got the rally started early in the third quarter, as quarterback Taylor Warren dropped back in the pocket, delivering a strike to Tyler Lequire in the middle of the field for a 35-yard score. Right before the end of the quarter, Warren plunged in from the 1, putting the Eagles right back into the mix at 34-20. The East defense was playing at a much higher level in the second half after giving up 400 yards in the first, and their efforts resulted in more points. After a three-and-out, the Spartans dropped back to punt, but the snap sailed over the head of the kicker and out of the end zone for a safety. East kept the tidal wave of momentum going, as Warren called his own number from the 4-yard line, just getting into the end zone, electrifying the Homecoming crowd as their team now sat only five points

East running back Justin Rutledge strides down the field for yards Friday. back at 34-29. Central had seen enough, finding its offense just in time to save itself from a third straight conference loss. Josh White took off for a 40-yard score, pushing the lead back to 11 and just out of reach for the gutty Golden Eagles. East pushed across a late touchdown pass from Warren to Josh Craven and converted the two-point conversion making it 40-37, setting up an onside-kick. Warren teed it up and sent a low liner at Central, but the ball traveled out of bounds to secure the win for the Spartans. “These kids are battlers and they are fighters, and that is why we love them so much around here,” said Lingerfelt. Notes: Warren finished with 145 yards passing and 83 rushing … East dips to 0-3 in the league while Central moves to 1-2. East travels to West Davidson next week.
Coming home from school at about age 13, I noticed a large woodpile on my future neighbor’s lot. Clarence Craven and his wife, Stacy had purchased a lot from my Uncle Jim Loggins and Clarence had cut the trees off the area the house was to occupy. The stacked wood formed a perfect blind and the exposed section of woods was crawling with squirrels. I decided to get up early the next morning before daylight and ambush the squirrels since they’d have no idea I was hiding in the woodpile. It never occurred to me that I could’ve just walked up to the edge of the woods at any time and shot at squirrels. This was a planned assault to the squirrel population they would never see coming. I woke up and thought

SPORTS 2012: A race odyssey for Kahne, following McMurray’s example
ON NASCAR
CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist At any given time, there seems to be at least one high-profile NASCAR driver who is cast in the role of the vagabond, a guy with a destination in mind but no clearly-delineated plan for how to get there. They’re not exactly hunkered down next to the railroad tracks eating beans from a can — this is the Sprint Cup Series, after all — but it still isn’t the most ideal situation for a driver to be in. Our itinerant driver of the moment is Kasey Kahne. Earlier this season, Kahne announced he would be leaving Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) at the end of 2010 for a job with Hendrick Motorsports. A driver, however, obviously needs a car in order to be successful, and Hendrick can’t provide that for Kahne in 2011. He will be taking over Mark Martin’s car in 2010, but Martin will pilot that No. 5 next year, per his contract. So Kahne recently inked a oneyear deal to drive for the Red Bull team in 2011.
This made Kahne a lame duck not once, but twice. Since a duck only has two legs, this is problematic. To make matters worse, when his brakes failed during the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 16, Kahne, complaining of some gastro-intestinal issues, left the car in the garage and didn’t return; JJ Yeley finished the race in his stead. Kahne said he went to lie down, but an unnamed RPM employee suggested he might be “laying down,” instead. As the story unfolded and more details were revealed, Kahne did get some level of vindication regarding what was first perceived as rather petulant behavior. As with almost any situation, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. But just four days later, he was packing up his troubles in that old kit bag and moving on once again, in the wake of an announcement that RPM had released him from his contract. He will run the remainder of the 2010 season in the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota. While his skill behind the wheel has never been in question — he won six races in 2006, remember — it does seem that while Kahne has had little trouble finding a team, he has never truly found a home. Fans are worried that all this back-and-forth will have an adverse effect on their driver’s future. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
For living proof, look no further than a driver who had a much better night at Charlotte than Kahne did. In fact, he won the race. Jamie McMurray’s first moment in the true NASCAR spotlight came when Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) put him in the 2002 Cup race at Talladega — a scary start for any driver — filling in for an injured Sterling Marlin. One week later, McMurray won the fall race at Charlotte in only his second Cup Series start. He stayed with Ganassi through the 2005 season. In a spooky Halloween-week coincidence reminiscent of the “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” theory, Mark Martin was smack in the middle of this deal, too. McMurray signed a deal with Roush Racing to drive the No 6 car — Martin’s car — in 2006. But when Martin unexpectedly announced plans to come back from semiretirement and compete full-time that year, McMurray was shuffled off to Kurt Busch’s recently-vacated ride. In 2009, NASCAR limited teams to a maximum of four cars per race, and McMurray was told he was free to leave. Martin Truex Jr. was vacating the No. 1 Ganassi car for a seat at Michael Waltrip Racing, so McMurray returned to his old stomping grounds, now known as Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. How did that work out for him? Not too badly. This season, he has won NASCAR’s two biggest
races, the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400, and tacked on another win at Charlotte. Those “in the know” are already adding him to their lists for next year’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field. I’m “in the guess,” but I know this much — headed into Martinsville, McMurray has won three more races than eight of the 12 drivers in this year’s Chase, and has earned more in winnings than any Cup Series driver other than Jimmie Johnson. Some people think winning the Daytona 500 should automatically qualify a driver for the Chase. I disagree. NASCAR has always rewarded consistency, and the Chase is just a continuation of that philosophy. But I do think it’s interesting that neither of the two drivers we are talking about most right now made the Top 12 in 2010. Jamie McMurray, who frankly turned out to be a lot more talented that some people thought, navigated his way through uncertainty and executed a highly successful landing. Kasey Kahne, whose talent nobody questions, will no doubt do the same. So Kahne fans have little need to fret. To borrow a line from J.R.R. Tolkien, not all those who wander are lost. They just haven’t made it home ... yet. Cathy Elliott can be reached at cathyelliott@hotmail.com.

‘DOGS From page B1 for the game’s first score. “That opening drive for us was hard fought,” said Cline. “We made some big catches that kept the drive alive and the kids really executed.” After using much of the first quarter on its opening drive, Thomasville made up for lost time in the second. Riley capped a 6-play 74-yard drive with his second touchdown from the WD 9-yard line, putting the Bulldogs up, 14-0. THS forced a quick punt from West following Robert Davis’ second sack of the first half, but the Green Dragons would get the ball back rather quickly. That’s because Sam Nelson needed all of one play to find Shaquan Johnson in the end zone from 32 yards out with
5:27 remaining before Williams. The mistake halftime.

Alabama transfer ready to get season started at UNC BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — Justin Knox was feeling a little overwhelmed at North Carolina’s basketball media day last Thursday. After spending the past three seasons playing for Alabama, where football reigns, Knox was surrounded by at least 20 media members for his first comments in a baby blue uniform after transferring to UNC over the summer. “It’s pretty exciting because I realize the rare opportunity I have just because of the North Carolina program and how it is and traditions and the fact that most of our games are on TV so it’s going to be a pretty prime time event every time we step on the court,” Knox said. Knox, who stands at 6-9 and 240 pounds, completed his degree in business management at Alabama in July and arrived in Chapel Hill in August. According to NCAA guidelines the forward doesn’t have to sit out a year because he chose a graduate program — sports administration — not offered by Alabama. Timing also played a role in how Knox ended up at UNC. Soon after Knox approached the Alabama coaching staff to let them know he wanted to transfer, forwards David and Travis Wear told UNC coach Roy Williams they were leaving the program to transfer to UCLA. Knox said the Tar Heels’ coaching staff then contacted him about an opening for a big man since forwards Deon Thompson and Ed Davis were also gone. “I wanted to transfer from Alabama,” Knox said. “North Carolina wasn’t even a thought, but I guess everything happens for a reason.”

lead. Riley rushed for 102 yards in the first half. “That’s a respectable team,” said Riley of West. “The offensive line was feeling their rhythm out there. We got it done with blocking and hope.” Fullback Kesean Green ensured the starter’s night was over early in the third quarter after the senior sprang a 76yard touchdown on the Bulldogs first play of the second half. Nelson is 20-for-24 with seven touchdowns in CCC action. Thomasville travels to Salisbury next week.

Knox said there were multiple reasons why he wanted to leave Alabama, but one of the main reasons is he wants to play professionally after college and he didn’t think that was going to happen if he stayed at Alabama. He said it was not an easy decision picking UNC over Georgia Tech, but he’s excited about the opportunity to play for the Tar Heels. “It’s very different [from Alabama] and it’s much better actually,” Knox said. “It kind of puts a little bit more pressure on you but it also kind of makes you better knowing that everybody’s watching you.” Center Tyler Zeller, who is the tallest player on the roster at 7-0, said Knox is fitting in well with the team, and he expects Knox to contribute significant minutes since he’s the third tallest player on a team with little frontcourt depth. “He’s been here since August so he’s played a lot of pickup with us,” Zeller said. “He’s played very well.” Knox said he’s been bonding with his teammates, and he’s honored UNC would want him to play for it. He said he’s not going to waste his opportunity to spend a year playing for the Tar Heels and wants to help them bounce back from a 20-17 season. He said he didn’t follow UNC closely last season but is aware of how much they struggled. “My reaction was pretty much like everybody else’s around the country — kind of shocked about it because of the success North Carolina has had over the years,” Knox said. “I’m pretty sure coach won’t want our season like that. And we as a team won’t want that either so we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

SPORTS PORCH From page B1 it seemed to be getting light. I put on my squirrel hunting clothes, picked up the rifle, and started out the door. Just as I was getting ready to close the door behind me, I decided to check the time on the clock over the kitchen sink. It was 2 a.m. Had I not checked, I would’ve had a long wait. My first individual hunting trips were squirrel hunts. My rifle of choice was the only rifle in the house, Daddy’s J.C. Higgins .22 semi automatic. Daddy had just put a 4X scope on it and it seemed to be a wonderful long range shooting machine. While my Dad was a crack shot with a .22, he knew nothing of sighting in scopes and if I remember right, it took the better part of a box of .22s to get the thing sighted in. I hunted squirrels in the morning, in the afternoon, and on Saturday. I guess I must’ve not been that effective since no one in the family ever said they got tired of Mama’s squirrel and gravy breakfast. Last week, my 14-yearold grandson, Phoenix, was at the house. It was a Saturday afternoon and we’d worked all morning fixing little things that needed to be corrected. After lunch, I asked if he’d like to do a little squirrel hunting. He was excited. I’ve done some guided squirrel hunts over the years and looked forward to putting Phoenix on some squirrels. As we got equipped for our trip, his Gramma, Cherie, decided she’d have her first crack at hunting bushytails, too. Cherie opted to hunt from one of the deer stands behind the house and Phoenix and I decided to hunt the meadow. I have a long meadow on my property and I’d noticed that the squirrels were crossing it to get to a small strip of trees that ran along the opposite side of it. I felt this offered Phoenix a great shooting opportunity since we would get shots as far as 125 yards and as close as about 30 yards. Phoenix was shooting my CZ 452 .22 with a 12x Weaver scope. This was a very accurate rifle/scope combination, shooting tiny
groups at 50 yards with all shots touching. The gun had too much scope for a normal squirrel hunt but for long rang squirrel sniping, it was perfect. I had him set up in the prone position over a log and we began our wait. Within minutes, the first squirrel started across the opening. Phoenix really wasn’t ready and didn’t get a shot off before the squirrel made it across the opening. I continued to watch the opening and Phoenix spotted a squirrel closer in along the strip of trees opposite the woods. He took a 50 yard shot and missed. The shots were challenging enough that I’m not sure I could’ve made them but my grandson was having a grand time trying. Some were so distant that I was telling him how much to hold over the squirrel and sometimes he tried to use the same holdover on a later shot that was closer and shot over the potential victim’s head. During our shooting, we heard shots from Grammas’ deer stand and I suspected some poor bushytailed bandit had passed on to the happy nut hunting grounds. Phoenix spotted one fairly easy 40 yard shot with a head shot and passed through the portals to become a blooded squirrel hunter. We continued to take long shots across the meadow. We actually enjoyed the misses as much as the hits and in the process, Phoenix learned a lot about shooting long distances. Our longest shot came as we were getting ready to quit with a shot that was a solid 120 yards over a brush pile. Phoenix held over the squirrel’s back and fired. I watched through the scope and called the shot a hit. When we got to the
spot where the squirrel was, we couldn’t find him in the brush pile. Phoenix was pretty sure he’d hit the squirrel and I was certain. We fetched Larry, my Lab, and he seemed to smell the squirrel but couldn’t find him. We were both disappointed we couldn’t find the long shot which prevented it from being counted as a confirmed kill but I was proud of my Grandson’s shooting. It seemed like a long time to me since he fired his first shots with his Daisy Little Buck BB gun but now he was really shooting well. It made me remember a time when Daddy bragged to one of his friends about my shooting. We took our squirrel up to the house and met Cherie with her bagged squirrel. Phoenix helped me skin and clean both and we put them in the freezer for a future squirrel gumbo. In days of sophisticated hunting excursions, I marvel at how much pleasure I got from a sunny October Saturday taking pot shots at bushytailed tree rodents. It reminds me of something Daddy once said, “It ain’t the trip you take, it’s the company you keep.” Dick Jones is a freelance writer living in High Point.

Coach K focuses on team and not personal marks BY STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald Sun CHARLOTTE — All of Duke’s winning basketball teams under coach Mike Krzyzewski since 1980 have set up a string of mileposts for him to surpass this season. Krzyzewski begins the season with 868 Division I coaching wins, placing him fourth on the all- time list behind only Bob Knight with 902, Dean Smith 879 and Adolph Rupp at 876. The 2009-10 season became memorable for Duke because the Blue Devils went 35-5 to capture the program’s fourth national championship. While NCAA title No. 5 is the ultimate goal, moving Krzyzewski up the list would be an historic byproduct. This year’s seniors, speaking Wednesday at ACC’s Operation Basketball preseason media day, relish the opportunity to deliver it. “I’m very happy to be a part of it,” Duke guard Nolan Smith said. “When I came to Duke, I knew I was coming to a program with Coach K that was a legacy already. “I’m just real excited to be part of something like this. He coaches hard for us. I’m glad to return the favor.” Kyle Singler, the most outstanding player of the Final Four in April, called the opportunity an honor. “You weren’t there for all the wins,” Singler said, “but you definitely feel you are part of it and it’s a special thing.” With Duke the pre-
season favorite to win the ACC and the consensus No. 1 team in the country, it figures to be a year full of special moments for Krzyzewski. For his part, he wants the focus to remain on the players. “It’s important for me to be in their moment, not for them to be in some historical moment,” he said. Krzyzewski needs five wins to reach 800 for his career at Duke, where’s he has compiled a 795220 record. Game No. 5 on Duke’s schedule is the second night of the O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic at Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 24. Duke will play either Gonzaga or Kansas State. Duke’s ninth win of the season will propel Krzyzewski past Rupp, the legendary Kentucky coach who held the wins record for 25 years until Smith broke it in 1997. Krzyzewski would move past Smith, his longtime UNC rival, with Duke’s 12th win. That historic event almost certainly will happen in North Carolina. Games nine through 15 on Duke’s schedule are in-state between Dec. 8 and Jan. 9, and all but one are at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The lone exception is a Dec. 29 game against UNC Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum. The win that vaults him past Smith figures to resonate throughout the state and the ACC. “That will definitely say a lot about everything that Coach has done,” Smith said. “Year in and
year out, he always has a winning program. Even in a so-called down year, he keeps it coming. “He keeps the guys motivated; he keeps the guys wanting to win basketball games. His secret is him. He just finds a way.” Passing Knight, his former coach at Army, will take the most work. Duke must match the 2009-10 win total (35) or Krzyzewski will have to wait until next season. Krzyzewski said he’s friends with both Knight and Smith, although he hasn’t had contact recently with Smith, who is suffering from what his family described in July as a “progressive neurocognitive disorder that affects his memory.” He did, however, have a recent dinner with Knight, who retired as the record-holder in 2008. Nolan Smith said that Krzyzewski, even at age 63, continues to evolve and that makes him so successful. “He’s definitely changed,” Smith said. “The USA basketball experience has showed him different ways that he can coach his guys, different ways to motivate more, different ways to keep us fresh, finding ways to do conditioning or a practice. “He definitely studies the game. He just continues to get better as a coach.” This season, whether Krzyzewski likes to talk about it or not, all that work will bring him a lifetime of milestones.

Stevi Williams and the Lady Ledford Panthers will play host to Gray’s Creek today at 1 p.m. in the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs.
LEDFORD From page B1 the Cape Fear Valley Conference. What she knows is Lady Panther volleyball and the things they need to do in order to win today at 1 p.m. in Wallburg “We are going to come out with what we do and hopefully come out and take care of business,” Berrier said. “Consistency is what we need. We need to get our serves in and be able to control the pace of the game by hitting the ball.” Ledford — the No. 1 seed out of the Mid-Piedmont Conference and 20-3 overall — did not show the kind of consistency and desire that Berrier expects out of her players in the MPC tournament. Her team lost a five-set match to Asheboro in the semifinals, giving LHS their first loss of any kind in conference play. “We just got outplayed. I think we
were over confident after beating everyone twice. We just didn’t show up to play and Asheboro did,” she said. Even though the loss cost them at shot at the conference tournament crown to go with their regular season title, Berrier sees the loss as something her team may have needed heading into the single elimination tournament. “I think that was probably the best thing that could have happened to us before the state playoffs,” Berrier said. “Of course, we want to win the conference tournament to follow-up the great season we had, but I think we did need that wake-up call that we definitely can get beat.” East Davidson — the No. 3 seed from the Central Carolina Conference — will play at 13-12 South Stokes (No. 2 seed) from the Northwest Conference at 5 p.m. today. The Golden Eagles finished the regular season with a record of 7-16.

BUSINESS NewBridge Bank reports 3rd quarter earnings
Experiencing superior service leads to demonstrating it ASK THE COACH
TIMES STAFF REPORT
NewBridge Bancorp (NASDAQ: NBBC), parent of NewBridge Bank, Friday reported financial results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2010. For the 2010 third quarter, net income totaled $1.0 million compared to a net loss of ($5.7) million in the third quarter a year ago. After dividends and accretion on preferred stock, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $303,000, or $0.02 per diluted share. After dividends and accretion on preferred stock in the prior year’s third quarter, the net loss available to common shareholders was ($6.4) million, or ($0.41) per diluted share. For the nine months, net income totaled $2.3 million and net income available to common shareholders was $70,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($15.2) million, and a loss of ($17.4) million available to common shareholders, or ($1.11) per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2009. Results for the three and nine months this year were positively impacted by the sale of municipal securities for a $3.6 million pre-tax gain. In the first nine months of 2009, there were no sales of securities, and the three and nine month results were negatively impacted by onetime expenses related to a restructuring of branch operations, the Company’s decision to upgrade to a new core processing system, and costs to terminate certain nonexecutive employment agreements, which in total resulted in $2.9 million of pre-tax expense. In addition, the nine months results for 2009 include an industry-wide FDIC special assessment expense of $970,000. These items were partially offset in the 2009 three and nine months results by a pretax gain on sale of merchant card services that totaled $1.1 million. “We are pleased to report continued positive trends, especially being profitable for four consecutive quarters,” said Pressley A. Ridgill, president and CEO of NewBridge Bancorp. “Our net interest margin topped 4 percent, nearly 1 percent higher than a year ago, which resulted in a $9.5 million increase in year-to-date net interest income. “Despite a smaller balance sheet, we are more profitable and efficient. Our total risk based capital level has climbed to more than 13 percent, and we have continued to lower our cost of operations.”

TAMMY HOLYFIELD Business Columnist Dear Coach, I’m a leader who understands excellent customer service is fundamental to success. Keeping customers consistently coming back and happy is critical. There are gaps between what I believe to be good customer service and what my direct reports believe. What can I do to better equip my staff ? – People person Dear People person, How may I help you? Oh, the question that puts a smile on your face. As leaders and business owners, our livelihood depends on how well we answer that question. The Stanford Research Institute found, “The money you make in any endeavor is determined by only 12.5 percent knowledge and 87.5 percent by your ability to deal with people. In today’s market, with so many choices, it is not enough just to give the customer what they want. We must also anticipate what they don’t know they want and provide service that wows. So, why do customers leave? Research reveals 1 percent die, 3 percent move away, 5 percent are to other friendships, 9 percent are for competitive reasons, 14 percent due to product dissatisfaction, and 68 percent leave

because of an attitude of indifference toward them by an employee. There seems to be a gap in service mentality nowadays. Some employees seem to be disengaged, viewing their work performance separate from the organizations overall success, when in fact it is directly connected. Serving customers should be seen as an opportunity, rather than an obligation. Here are a few suggestions for taking customer service to the new levels. 1. Ask the Customer Knowledge is a powerful tool that propels business success. Having knowledge about how customers see our business allows us to make positive changes. When we know the truth it also helps to increase the speed of that change. Ask customers for honest feedback and embrace the truth. It may not always be what you expected. Here are a few great questions to ask: Why did your customers originally choose to do business with you? Why do existing clients continue to do business with you? How would your customers rate their overall level of satisfaction with your business? According to your clients, what do you do well? According to your clients how could you improve? Do your current clients know what other products and services you offer? What could you do to get more business from your existing customer base? What additional products or services would your clients like for you to offer? Would your current clients be confident in re-
ferring business to you? Answering these questions can also help to establish a benchmark for training staff. It will provide information and clearly identify performance gaps. At the same time, you may find new business strategies to generate growth and increase. Knowing your customers is essential to long-term growth. Today’s customers can be impatient and demanding. They have high expectations and very little time. Top performing companies are always looking for ways to speed up and improve service. To get feedback about customers’ needs, Lexus started an Owner’s Advisory Forum in 1998. For Lexus, communication can be especially challenging considering manufacturers are in Japan and the majority of customers are in the United States. Each year Lexus brings about 20 engineers who are responsible for design and production, and they meet with 15 to 20 loyal Lexus owners. Together they talk about the details of the car, what they like and what they dislike. As a result Lexus customers have grown from 500,000 in 1996 to over one million. Lexus dealers have also earned highest honors
in customer satisfaction from J.D. Power and Associates for eight of the past nine years. 2. Define Superior Customer Service During our customer service workshops, one of the first things we do is define superior customer service. What exactly does that mean to you? Most people have never thought that our customers are just like us. When we think of service, we tend to think of how we have been served and not how we serve. We view customer service from our own perspective. As an organization, it is critical to expand those personal experiences by communicating, not only verbally but in visual and kinesthetic ways, specifically what we expect our employees to deliver. I have heard it said, “When you hear something, you may forget it. When you see something, you will remember it. But not until you do something, will you understand it.” We should treat our customers as we want to be treated but until we experience superior customer service for ourselves, we may not understand what it takes to provide that level of service. 3. People Development: Character and Skill
Superior customer service requires character and skill. It can be defined by delivering the unexpected. We expect people to be friendly. We expect at best an average level of service. The average work environment isn’t terrible; it’s average. And consequently, good is the enemy of great. To get people to deliver superior customer service, we need to look at two areas, the development of character and the training of skills. People who demonstrate superior customer service have a genuine passion for serving people. They remember the customers’ preferences, pay attention to the details, know their products and services and exceed expectations.

BUSINESS TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist
On Oct. 12, 2010, I attended a noon-time ribbon cutting event sponsored by the Lexington area Chamber of Commerce. Called Missions Pottery and More, the new business is located at 3 N. Main St. in Lexington on the historic uptown square. While browsing through the attractive retail space, I noticed little tags attached to the handmade pottery that announced the intent to donate 100 percent of profits to missions. Do the tags reflect a new retail strategy, or a very personal decision made by the artisan to promote what really matters to him? Judging from only what the eye could see, we have a new business in Davidson County that exemplifies what Daniel Pink is talking about in his third leg of the TYPE I tripod: Purpose. Pink explores what is moving us individually and collectively in 2010 through his latest bestseller DRIVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. Pink begins with Autonomy and moves on to Mastery, affirming them as the first two elements in the current motivation machine. Claiming that we are no longer driven by stale carrots and sticks, Pink delves into unheralded motivational forces that coerce and compel us to do what we do now. Accompanied by the forces of Autonomy and Mastery, Purpose strides in to declare its place in the bulging boomer forces. Pink explains it this way: “Upon comprehending that they could have another 25 years, 60-yearold boomers look back 25 years — to when they were 35 — and a sudden thought clonks them on
‘DRIVE’ on with purpose the head. “Wow. That sure happened fast,” they say. “Will the next 25 years race by like that? If so, when am I going to do something that matters? When am I going to live my best life? When am I going to make a difference in the world?” Although Pink himself admits that such rhetoric sounds “touchySUNDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

SECU Program keeps foreclosures low TIMES STAFF REPORT
Six one hundredths of one percent – .06 percent – it’s a low number which makes a big difference for State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) members. Why? It’s the minimal increase the Credit Union has experienced in the number of foreclosures compared to total mortgage loans over the past five years. Even as the economy in North Carolina and the US continues to suffer, SECU has managed to keep member foreclosures low due to its member-friendly Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP) — an initiative that has already helped over 7,000 North Carolina families remain in their homes. Implemented in early 2009, MAP was created to assist members facing job loss or a reduction in work hours, providing foreclosure prevention options which include mortgage extensions, modifications, refinances and partial payment alternatives.

AROUND THE STATE State DOT to close N.C. 150 ramp on I-85 TIMES STAFF REPORT
Motorists will encounter traffic pattern changes next week as construction work on phase one of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project gets under way in Davidson County near the Yadkin River. The N.C. Department of Transportation will close the ramp from I-85 North to N.C. 150 on Monday, Oct. 25, at 7 a.m., weather permitting. It will remain closed until late 2011. The closure is necessary to build a new interchange, which will improve access to N.C. 150. It will feature ramps to and from I-85 North and I-85 South. During construction, a detour route will be in place for motorists traveling north on I-85. They will drive past the closed ramp and take Exit 85 towards Clark Road. They will then follow the detour signs on Clark Road
and Salisbury Road, which will lead them to N.C. 150. The interchange work is part of the $136 million contract awarded to Flatiron-Lane, a joint venture of Flatiron Constructors Inc. and The Lane Construction Corp., to widen nearly 3.5 miles of I-85 from four lanes to eight lanes and replace eight bridges, including the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River. The project is scheduled to be complete by January 2013. NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for additional construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit. Know before you go about accidents or traffic delays by calling 511, the department’s toll-free travel information line, or get real-time traffic updates online through NCDOT’s Traveler Information Management System. Citizens can also follow the project on Twitter.

genon Cash and Stroze Hill. All three men will talk to the women about the benefits of early detection and or a women’s need for physical as well as financial health. Opening prayer by Minister George Stanley and closing prayer by A & T Graduate Adrian Starks: Pastor of World Vision International Christian Center in Greensboro. Musical prelude provided by local Jazz Ensemble Global Grooves. Special Dessert tribute provided by Greensboro’s own Sebastian’s Desserty.

Perdue stops unnecessary rule making TIMES STAFF REPORT RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue Thursday issued a directive to her cabinet secretaries and a request of Council of State members: do not create any new rules unless they are absolutely necessary. In addition, she announced a larger plan to set government straight by soliciting input from citizens, local governments, community groups, businesses and state employees who recognize antiquated, outdated or frustrating rules in need of reform or elimination. “I am calling on the people of this state who come into contact with state government to talk to me. Tell me what isn’t working for you when you go to a state agency for a permit, or a license, or any other project that falls under state regulation,” said Perdue. “My rule is the ‘plain common sense rule’ – if a regulation is needed, make sure it’s efficient for the user, transparent to the public and has real value for North Carolina citizens.” The Governor signed Executive Order # 70 and laid out a three-fold plan: 1. Direct cabinet secretaries and request council of state members to stop creation of any new rules unless absolutely necessary; 2. Require all new rules proposed by cabinet agencies to be reviewed by the Office of State Budget and Management and justified by the requesting agency; and 3.Solicit input from citizens, community groups, local governments, businesses and state employees on rules and regulations that should be reviewed, eliminated or consolidated. Speaking at Perry Harrison Elementary School in Pittsboro, Perdue
unveiled a new website where citizens can submit their suggestions, w w w. s e t g o ve r n m e n t straight.nc.gov . Every single suggestion will be reviewed by officials in North Carolina’s Office of State Budget and Management. Rules selected for further review will be sent to the appropriate state agency and to outside experts who can provide guidance as to if
and how the rule could be changed. Perdue pointed to the school’s playground as an example of a state rule that defied common sense. Because of a regulation that governed childcare facility playgrounds but did not apply to public schools, children enrolled in after school programs that operate in a school were not allowed to play on
the school’s playground. “Because of a silly rule, when the bell rang, the same playground these kids were on all day long suddenly wasn’t good enough,” Perdue said. She also gave examples of rules that would prohibit building wind turbines off shore and that would slow general contractors’ ability to take on new projects and hire more people.
