Community shows support for Creasey family Classroom makeover dedicated in teacher’s name

Residents brave weather for Relay For Life BY LISA WALL Editor

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer When Tricia Creasey and her family return from Walt Disney World next week, the seventh grade teacher at E. Lawson Brown Middle School (BMS) will have more than a new house waiting for her. Earlier this week, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition told the Creasey family that Tricia, who is battling an advanced form of colon/rectal cancer, had been selected by the show and would be receiving a new house upon returning from a dream vacation in Orlando. Creasey will not only come back to a new home but a new classroom as well. A new wing at BMS opened and one of the classrooms has Creasey’s name on it. “She is very deserving, bottom line,” BMS Principal Randy Holmes said of Tricia’s se-

When it comes to a community showing support for its neighbors, no one does it better than the residents of Davidson County. Hundreds of supporters of Tricia Creasey, whose family was chosen Tuesday to receive a dream home from ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, turned out to Central Davidson High School Thursday to participate in a Relay For Life event in Creasey’s honor. Despite the passing remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, teams of cancer survivors and their supporters gathered at the track to walk for 24 hours to raise funds for cancer research. Extreme Makeover show host Ty Pennington pumped up the crowd before the official survivor lap, and also talked with several local cancer survivors. After receiving a $200 donation for the Creasey

Community shows spirit of volunteerism BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

LEXINGTON — As the Creasey family enjoys a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, their 1930s home has been demolished and construction on a new one is progressing quickly. Tricia and William,

along with their children, Brittany, Makenzie and Makayla, will come home Tuesday to a bigger, healthier and more efficient house thanks to ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” In order to make room for the new home, volunteers, builders and designers first had to take down the old one, which

had no insulation and was riddled with structural problems. Before their Lexington house was demolished Thursday, the Creaseys’ yard already was torn up by the muddy footprints of volunteers. Tropical Storm Ida sent cool rain and forceful wind gusts

Local volunteers Jennifer Spivey and Mark Eggers stand in front of the demolition site at the Creasey home. The two, like more than 1,000 other residents, are volunteering their time to help build a dream home for the Creasey family. TIMES PHOTO/KARISSA MINN

Tax credit for homebuyers extended BY ELIOT DUKE

BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

Luminaries will line the paths and markers at Holly Hill Memorial Park next month to honor people’s loved ones and support three community organizations. Sue Barringer, administrative assistant at the memorial park, said that the luminaries first started in December of 2006 and have become part of an annual event. It will be held for the fourth time on Satur-

day, Dec. 14. “It’s a nice way to make money for charity and to give back to the community,” Barringer said. “We appreciate the community’s support. Without that, none of this would work.” Luminaries will cost $3 each, and people can purchase up to five for one particular grave. They also can buy luminaries in honor of loved ones not buried in Holly Hill Memorial Park in Thomasville,

Staff Writer First time homebuyers and people looking for a new place to live will have a little longer to take advantage of government stimulus money. As part of the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, a one-time tax credit of up to $8,000 will remain available for first-time homebuyers until April 30, 2010, extending the program an additional five months. There also will be an additional credit of up to $6,500 to families that have lived in their home for at least five of the past

eight years and are wanting move into a new house. “It was more important to keep the tax credit alive, and we did that for an additional five months,” Rep. Howard Coble (RNC) said. “I am also pleased that Congress has extended the credit to more than just first-time homebuyers. Both of these are positive signs. We know that these credits are spurring home sales and those sales are helping us dig out of this recession.” Unlike the recent Cash for Clunkers program, however, the homebuyer tax credits have been far less publicized and have been met with mixed results.

FROM PAGE A1 HONOR From page A1 which will be placed in a special section in front of the park. Funds raised from the event will be divided among Fairgrove Family Resource Center, Cooperative Community Ministries and the Thomasville Fire Department. Terri Nelson, executive director of the resource center, said that the money will be used for agency programming. “The response has been pretty amazing,” Nelson said. “A lot of people will go in, and if they don’t have somebody that’s buried there, they just make donations to the projects. It really has helped a lot.” As the luminaries are lit at around 4:30 p.m., there will be a prayer service. Most of the candles will be lit between 5:30 and 6 p.m., prime visiting time for who want to drive through and look at the luminaries. “It’s a wonderful time for the community to come together and help start the holiday season,” Nelson said. “People really enjoy going through there. I know I do... It is

RELAY From page A1 amily from a nine-yearold cancer survivor in the crowd, Pennington seemed in awe of what he was witnessing. “I’m think I’m really beginning to love this community,” he said to the response of a roaring crowd. Only knowing Creasey for less than one day, Pennington already had realized what a strong, caring and deserving person she was. “I think there are people that you meet in life that inspire you and I think Tricia is one of those people,” Pennington said. “Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. This is a mom, this is a teacher, this is someone who cares about bettering other people’s lives and for us to give her a place to feel comfortable and calmer hopefully will help her in a huge way.” Nancy Joyce, a 12-year cancer survivor who has worked with Creasey through Relay For Life, was able to send a message to the young teacher and mother, which will perhaps be part of the final cut for the television series. “In spite of her working and chemotherapy, she wanted to volunteer and so she was our sur-

absolutely gorgeous.” Nelson said that volunteers are needed at 9 a.m. on the day of the luminaries to help fill the bags with sand and distribute them to graves, and at 4 p.m. the same day to help light the candles in the bags. “It is definitely a community project,” Nelson said. “We really need help. The more that are there, the faster it goes.” Barringer said that people can light their own candles and help spread the flame to others, or volunteers can light the luminaries for them. The event uses 10-hour candles, so many of them will be lit into the early morning, supervised by the fire department. “We’re very pleased with our association with Cooperative Community Ministries, Fairgrove Family Resource Center and the Thomasville Fire Department,” Barringer said. “They all say they have worked a lot harder and gotten a lot less money [this year], so they seem to be very pleased to have this.” For more information, call Holly Hill Memorial Park at 472-7455 or Fairgrove Family Resource Center at 472-7217.

CREDIT From page A1 Clunkers was, Russell said the tax credits are a little more complex. People saw an immediate return on Cash for Clunkers as the rebate was deducted from the sales price. These tax credits act as more of a refund when people file their taxes. “When you talk about a tax credit, most people think it’s something like a tax deduction. They don’t realize it’s an up to $8,000 refund to them. It’s not only the tax dollars they’ve paid in. If they haven’t paid $8,000 into the federal government, they also still get a check for the difference. Cash

vivor chair for last year’s Relay For Life,” Joyce said. “We think it’s wonderful in what [Extreme Makeover: Home Edition] is doing for Tricia, and it also brings awareness to cancer and cancer research. “There are more than 4,000 cancer survivors in Davidson County alone — that’s one of three of us. If we don’t work to find a cure for cancer, then our children and grandchildren will continue to suffer from this disease.” Joyce also noted the spirt of the community in coming out to support such a wonderful cause. “The American Cancer Society is the official sponsor of birthdays, and we’re not afraid of birthdays, wrinkles, aging or even hurricanes,” Joyce said of her fellow cancer survivors. “And this shows tonight that miracles happen in Davidson County.” The American Cancer Society will be on hand at the Creasey home today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an Early Cancer Detection Unit.

for Clunkers was a very simple concept. The tax credit is more complex for people to grasp because they’re getting it in the time that they’re filing their taxes and running it through and then getting the money back in a check.” Once someone qualifies for the tax credit, there’s still the down payment that must accounted for. Russell said some states have been using the credit towards the down payment, but he has yet to hear of anything like that in North Carolina. Regardless of any tax credit, Russell said the big reason for the dismal housing market in Thomasville is the economy. While the Employment Security Commission lists Davidson County’s

unemployment rate at better than 13 percent, Russell feels the number is probably above 20 percent. With so many people out of work, the state of the economy is going to suffer, including housing. Russell said one sign of a strong local economy is a six-month supply of housing on the market. Currently, Thomasville has around a twoyear supply of available housing. “I’m afraid, from what I see, that jobs are the big item,” Russell said. “Without jobs people can’t buy and without be-

ing able to purchase, not only are they not able to do something, but it’s also affecting all of our small businesses and so on. It’s just a vicious cycle. Housing construction is way, way, way down. There are very few new homes on the market and we’re having to catch up. It’s going to take some time. The repossessions are slowing a little bit. If they slow and we’re able to keep those from coming into the market, our supply of housing will start dwindling and will get back to a healthy market. Time is the big factor.”

Fire Gen. Casey VIEWPOINT

LINDA CHAVEZ Syndicated Columnist “What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.” Those words were spoken not by some diversity guru but by the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George Casey, on ABC last week in the aftermath of the slaughter of 13 people at the hands of a fellow officer. Nor were they isolated comments open to misinterpretation. Casey repeated them, in virtually identical form, in interviews with NBC and CNN. Casey’s remarks should lead to his immediate firing. But, of course, that won’t happen because he is merely echoing the official government line. From the moment word leaked out that the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, government officials began to weave their Orwellian cocoon. The commander in chief warned Americans not “to jump to conclusions,” while Casey and others dismissed as “anecdotal evidence” eyewitness reports that Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” before pumping 100 rounds of ammunition into his fellow soldiers. The only ones that jumped to conclusions were the U.S. government; immediately after the attack, the Obama administration shot down the notion that this was an act of terrorism. But not even the mainstream media are buying this nonsense. Journalists have tracked down Hasan’s colleagues at Walter Reed Army Hospital, where Hasan served as a staff psychiatrist until he was transferred to Fort Hood prior to his intended deployment overseas. They’ve talked to local imams with whom he had contact, and have even found investigators willing to reveal, albeit anonymously, details of botched investigations of Hasan. And the story line emerging is increasingly clear: Hasan had become a radical Islamist who reached out to jihadists in Yemen, and perhaps elsewhere, as he prepared to launch a terrorist attack on a military installation. Hasan initiated contact with Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born imam now living in Yemen, who had ties to three of the 9/11 hijackers. Hasan sent 10-20 e-mails to Awlaki

before the Fort Hood shooting, and Awlaki has since praised Hasan for the attack. It also appears that Hasan wrote approvingly of suicide attacks in blog entries and that he even compared suicide bombers’ actions to those of soldiers who have saved their comrades’ lives by throwing themselves on live grenades. We know that many of his Walter Reed colleagues were shocked when he chose a medical seminar to warn “It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims.” The biggest question that remains is not Hasan’s motivation, but the government’s. Why is it that counterterrorism investigators and the Army were so eager to dismiss suspicion of Hasan when his actions clearly warranted a high-priority, full-fledged investigation? Were Hasan’s colleagues discouraged from reporting his suspect activities because they feared retaliation from military brass in the name of protecting “diversity”? Surely, Casey’s own words are fair warning to anyone in the military that they should tread lightly in ever questioning the activities of any Muslim in uniform. But Casey’s outrageous statements are more likely to encourage prejudice than quell it. The military must honestly and forthrightly assess the views of Muslim soldiers to determine whether they are compatible with military service. If we can’t be assured that the military is doing its job to ensure that extremists do not infiltrate our armed forces, then every Muslim automatically comes under suspicion. Like so much of the “diversity” agenda, holding individuals to a different standard of behavior based on their race, ethnicity — and in this case, religion — reinforces the idea that they are inherently different from everyone else. We aren’t protecting such individuals; we’re reinforcing the idea that we don’t expect the same from them as we do others. Some 3,500 Muslims now serve in the U.S. military. The overwhelming majority of them are loyal Americans who see no conflict between their personal religious duty and service to their country. But there can no place in our military for those persons of any faith who do. America has now seen the horrors of what “diversity at any cost” can lead to.

Democrats may regret new strategy VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist Former President Bill Clinton visited Capitol Hill recently to deliver a pep talk to Senate Democrats. “It’s not important to be perfect here. It’s important to act, to move, to start the ball rolling,” he reportedly told senators. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel sounded a similar theme in an interview with the New York Times. “I’m sure there are a lot of people sitting in the shade at the Aspen Institute ... who will tell you what the ideal plan is. Great, fascinating. You have the art of the possible measured against the ideal.” So the strategy on crafting sweeping legislation that will profoundly alter onesixth of the U.S. economy in the midst of the worst recession in 20 years is: Don’t stress about the fine print. Just pass something! This is the momentum theory of government. Governing is like campaigning: Keep the bandwagon rolling along and the voters will follow in the slipstream. Fail to do this, Bill Clinton warned, and Democrats may suffer the same fate in the 2010 elections that they did in 1994, after HillaryCare went down to defeat. The former president is an acclaimed tactician and he may be right. But so many of his assumptions — and those of the Obama administration for whom he was speaking — are dubious. In the first place, it isn’t at

all clear that Democrats lost in 1994 because they failed to pass health reform. A better explanation of the 1994 result was that voters were spooked by the attempted federalization of health care and expressed their displeasure by voting Republican. Certainly the subsequent retooling by the Clinton administration — agreeing that the “era of big government (was) over” and focusing on small matters like curfews and school uniforms — suggests that Clinton himself believed the health care reform was an overreach. The Democrats also seem confident that — no matter how sloppy or unseemly the process of getting to passage may be — voters will be pleased with health care reform after it becomes law. This, too, is a leap of faith. It requires a stubborn indifference to the steadily accumulating polling data showing that voters — particularly the all-important independents — are souring on health reform and are worried about overspending in Washington. An Ipsos/McClatchey poll in early November found that 49 percent of respondents oppose the health care reforms being considered in Congress while only 39 percent approve. In October, the numbers were 42 disapprove, 40 approve. Among independents, the number disapproving of health reform jumped from 38 percent to 53 percent. An October CNN poll found the approve/disapprove at 49/49. In November, disapproval took the lead with 53/45. In the immediate afterglow of President Obama’s inauguration, a bare majority (51 percent) of Americans believed that “government should do more to solve problems and help meet the needs of people.” That seems to have been the high water mark. By late October, only 46 percent agreed. More ominously for Democrats, the

liberal Brookings Institution published a survey showing that 53 percent of Americans worry that if government gets more involved in health care delivery, it will make matters worse. A Bloomberg poll found that fully 62 percent would be willing to risk lengthening the recession rather than to further increase the national deficit. As for whether the voters will thank the Democrats if they succeed in ramming through a bill (Harry Reid is reportedly considering the reconciliation strategy in the Senate that would require only 51 votes), recent history should give them pause. In 1988, with the support of the AARP, the House passed the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act by a vote of 328 to 72. A year later, Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, had to literally flee an angry crowd of unhappy constituents wielding placards bearing slogans like “Don’t Tax the Seniors.” The law was repealed 16 months after passage by a vote of 360 to 66. The House-approved bill contains, among other things, $170 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage; $56.7 billion in cuts to home health care aids; $42.3 billion in cuts to the prescription drug program; and $5.3 billion in cuts to rehabilitation facilities. If these remain in the final bill, only two outcomes are possible. Either the cuts will not materialize, in which case Democrats will have to explain why they irresponsibly deepened an already punishing debt; or the cuts will bite, in which case the anger of older voters will make Rostenkowski’s experience seem like a ticker tape parade.

A6 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, November 14, 2009

FROM PAGE A1 From page A1 to the area that began Tuesday and didn’t stop until Friday morning, somewhat delaying the construction process. Even in the cold, wet weather, volunteers still were eager to do whatever they could. Wearing royal blue T-shirts, white hard hats and splatters of orange mud, they cheered for ABC’s cameras during each take and prepared to help clear the site. Carolyn Allred said that she knew to dress warm for her volunteer shift, but still couldn’t feel her toes. “It’s so great that everybody’s embraced this like they have, and they’re willing to spend the time and energy in this horrible weather to do something like this,” she said. “I was really excited to be able to do it, because it was so close to home.” Allred lives three houses down from the Creasey family, but she doesn’t know them very well. She said she was planning on attending the Relay For Life event held later that day at her workplace, Central Davidson High School. Volunteer Mark Eggers also works with the Davidson County Schools System, and he was glad to find out that one of the finalists was a fellow employee. Eggers said that his grandfather died of liver cancer six years ago, only four months after his diagnosis, so he couldn’t miss the chance to help out a family facing the same trials. Tricia Creasey is battling stage four colon/rectal cancer, and the new house will

a fight for her life. Diagnosed with cancer when she was just 33, Creasey has seen it all, from celebrating a remission to the disappointment of being told the disease returned in May. For those who worked with her on a daily basis, while they knew of her condition, couldn’t tell by the way Creasey approached her job and her students. “[Tricia] is definitely a woman of courage and she shows great strength” said Crystal Sexton, a seventh grade math and language arts teacher at BMS. “Whether it was a good day or a bad day, if you were her student, you couldn’t tell. She’s just a fighter. She’s someone who is dedicated to what she’s doing and she does it well. She has no intention of stopping because it’s not in her character. She’s one that perseveres and when she was faced with this the only option for her was to fight.” Sexton attends church and has worked with Creasey for the past three years as a team member, meeting her less than 12 months after her diagnosis. During that time, Sexton admired the way Creasey, despite her condition, always showed up for work and never let how she may have been feeling interfere with teaching her students. “She teaches all the good character qualities,” Sexton said. “She teaches them never to give up and that life is hard. That’s a hard lesson to learn. To see someone in a difficult situation and to see them not quit, that reminds kids to never quit

be designed to protect her immune system by providing clean air. “Cancer is a terrible disease,” Eggers said. “I hope the family realizes how many people do care about them, and that the community is always here for them to help them out any way they can.” Jennifer Spivey, who lives in Thomasville, said that she gets joy out of helping people, especially knowing how it feels to be helped. Last year, her nephew, niece and sister-in-law were shot while being held hostage in Lexington. “The community came out and really supported my family, so I’d like to give back and help them,” Spivey said. “The folks in Davidson County are always willing to help each other.” On site Thursday, Ty Pennington and his team of designers put on an energetic show for ABC’s camera crew. Designer Paul DiMeo theatrically shoved the chimney away from the house, watching it burst into a pile of bricks as the crowd cheered and applauded. Scenes were shot using multiple takes, to ensure that the cameras captured the best moments. Right before heavy machinery began to tear down the house, Pennington ran screaming from the porch several times, filming the last scene of the demolition that could be re-shot. Then, the real action started. The excavator first took down the remaining chimney, which crumbled easily as it fell. Its long arm then crunched through the roof several times, finally breaking it down with a crash, sending dust and debris flying into the air.

On the other side of the house, a bulldozer made short work of the left exterior wall, and the excavator began to take down the right. Finally, the rear wall cracked and gave way, and the house was reduced to a pile of rubble. On Wednesday evening, volunteers helped pack the family’s belongings and clear them out of the house. Later that night and into Thursday morning, the house was prepared for demolition. Workers had to pump out the septic tank, disconnect the house’s water and electric lines, set up temporary electricity, create a second entrance to the site, remove some trees and more. Robin Bivens, executive director of the Lexington Tourism Authority and media contact for the build, said that the construction team has been making up for lost time, and everything was going as planned on Friday. Workers put mulch on top of some of the mud to help manage it. “The walls are going up, and framing is being done,” Bivens said. “We’re pretty much on schedule.” Spectators are now welcome to view the construction. Shuttles will run to the site from the Old Walmart Shopping Center, 37 Plaza Parkway in Lexington, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. throughout the build. The shuttles are free, but spectators are asked to bring some canned food or pet food for local pantries and shelters. Donations for building materials also are being accepted. For more information on the build or how to donate, visit www.hedrickextreme.com.

because she didn’t. Those are things you will not find in a textbook.” Misty Hinesley came to BMS two years ago and found out Creasey would be her mentor as she learned the ropes at a new school. What surprised the new math and social studies teacher wasn’t that her mentor was sick and needed to miss a few days, it was how Creasey worried more about her than chemotherapy. “[Creasey] is amazing,” said Hinesley. “Whenever she knows she’s going to be out a few days, we teach social studies together, she makes sure I know what I’m doing instead of letting me help. She wants to take care of me and wants to know everything about everybody else. If someone else is sick with something minor, it’s a big deal to her. She doesn’t want anyone to feel sorry for her. We kid and say Tricia is like the mom here, and she doesn’t like that very much. But she is. She takes care of everyone and she’s so loving. All of our kids think so much of her. Her job is what keeps her going.” Holmes said the while the students may be unaware of the severity of Creasey’s condition, seeing one of their colleagues in such a battle has been a wake-up call to BMS teachers and staff. Holmes, himself, is a cancer survivor. He was diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer and had one of his kidneys removed. “It’s real hard because it could happen to any of us,” Holmes said. “It has really opened the eyes to a lot of people here. Tricia being so scientific and healthy, and it gets her. It

makes us all worry about it because it can happen to everybody. She probably has more reason than many people to go home and say, ‘Why me?’ She says, ‘No, it’s not going to beat me, I’m going to be positive.’” When news finally came that Creasey had been chosen for a home makeover, Hinesley and Sexton said they cried and “jumped around like little school girls.” Even with needs so great, her friends said Creasey, despite wanting to be selected because of her family, worried about other families who weren’t so fortunate. “She was so concerned that these other families were going to be crushed and disappointed that it was tearing her up,” said Hinesley. Students at BMS showed their support for a teacher they adore recently as football players and cheerleaders organized a fundraiser to help the Creasey’s pay her medical bills. More than $400 was raised through students selling blue wristbands and this week everybody at BMS could be seen wearing blue ribbons on their shirts. Blue is the signature color to show support for colon cancer. BMS faculty participated in Thursday’s Relay for Life at Central Davidson High School and the entire school can’t wait for Creasey to return home on Tuesday. When Creasey finally comes back to BMS, she will walk into a classroom that smells and looks new. It will be her students and everyone else at BMS that will turn Creasey’s classroom into a new home away from her new home.

Finding a friend in God KEEPING THE FAITH

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

I am a very blessed person because I have lots of friends. My wife often teases me because I have a very busy “social calendar.” I make a positive effort to keep up with family and friends. Sometimes my life gets busy and I don’t have or take the time to be with others, but more often than not I try to keep up with family and friends. Last week I had a very busy social calendar. I had dinner with a good friend who always challenges me to think deeper. His faith is real and his spiritual insight makes for great conversation. I got to see my brother for a little while. We shared a soda, some good memories, and a little break from the pressures of life. Late in the week I was able to spend a little time with my pastor. Our friendship is growing as is our respect and appreciation for our varied backgrounds. On Sunday afternoon I slipped down to North Stanly High School for a Faculty Comet Players reunion. I was able to see several former faculty friends and acting cohorts. We shared several laughs as we reflected back on the plays we had acted in together. I was especially glad that I could thank our director and fellow thespian who became a good friend through all the rehearsals and faculty productions. Last week was unusual, but I do work on maintaining my friendships. The best way to maintain a friendship is to invest time. You can’t build a friendship without staying connected. Any good friendship is dependent on being open and honest. It always helps to throw a little laughter in the mix, too. While it is great to have the opportunity to build and maintain friendships, I wonder if we understand God’s desire to be friends with us. Most of us know that we are children of God. Scripture teaches us that we are servants of God. We may even go so far as to consider ourselves men and women of God. We know that growing from childhood to adulthood requires feeding and nurturing our spirits.

But, friends with God? I imagine we all have trouble understanding how we can become God’s friend. You can’t exactly grab a cup of coffee with God. I am afraid it might be a onesided conversation. It’s hard to become friends with someone you can’t see. There aren’t many people in the Bible who are known as friends of God, or even Jesus. When I think about people that I consider friends, there is one unique quality that makes that individual stand out. When something bad happens in my life and everybody turns their backs and leaves, a true friend walks in. A true friend will not leave my side no matter what happens. People who become God’s friend have this quality. We all know how to give our prayer requests to God, but how many times have you gone to Him and asked Him what’s on His heart? It’s not impossible to imagine that sometimes God wants to talk with someone about a difficult decision He must make. Abraham talked with God before He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. After three years of ministry, Jesus called his disciples friends. They were with Him, listened to Him, and after spending time with Him, knew Him as friends. I believe God wants to have friendship with us,

but we are often too busy to draw close to God. When we do take time to be with Him, we fill the time with our prayer requests. It’s important that we lay our concerns at His feet, but we should also take time to listen and see what is on His heart. We can learn a lot about God through the scriptures, which is His love letter to us. But to really know the heart of God you have spend some quiet time in His presence. True friendship is birthed out of a personal experience with God. This is God’s deepest desire for each one of us. I want to encourage you to consider what makes someone your best friend and then apply those qualities to your relationship with God. A friendship is birthed because your heart is open and you spend time together. God’s heart is open and I know He will clear His calendar for you. Wouldn’t it be great to give God exactly what He wants? We have a wonderful opportunity to become God’s friend on this side of eternity. The question is; will you take it?

FMBC to celebrate 125th year TIMES STAFF REPORT

Citizens for Change to hold meeting in Lexington TIMES STAFF REPORT

First Missionary Baptist Church in Thomasville will celebrate its 125th anniversary during its 11 am. worship service on Sunday. Guest speaker for the church homecoming will be Dr. James L Hunt of New Birth Worship Center in East Bend, N.C. Host Pastor Frankie L. McLean also will speak during the service.

Ledford comes up short in playoff matchup WALLBURG — One point is all that separated Ledford and Carson Friday evening in the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs. Fortunately for the Cougars, they had that one point that decided the outcome. After trailing 14-0, the Panthers battled back to get within one point in the fourth quarter, only to miss the extra point and fall short in a heartbreaking 14-13 loss. “They are a good, solid physical team and we knew that coming in,” said LHS head coach Chuck Henderson. “We just got beat tonight.” The drive that nearly tied the game started in the third quarter and chewed up part of the fourth. Quarterback Steven Fuquay drove his team down the field and brought the ball to the nine of Carson on a run, where he went down with an injury. Jonathan Shelton stepped in as the signal-caller and found

East’s Fox picks Belmont Abbey BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor East Davidson point guard Candace Fox has a lot on her plate this season on the hardwood, but at least she can relax a little after declaring where she intends on playing basketball after she graduates. Friday afternoon in the media center on the East campus, Fox signed her letter of intent to Belmont Abbey College, an NCAA Division II school in Belmont, N.C. “This is the best opportunity of my whole life and something I have wanted to do since I was little,” Fox said. “I am glad that I found a school that was a fit for me.” The Crusaders began recruiting Fox this summer while she played AAU basketball, and were eager to get her services as their point guard. Their current point guard will graduate this season and with no other true point guard on the team, Fox could be called upon to guide the

said Fox. “If not, I hope to learn quick and step in the next year.” Before she enters college, Fox will be the focal

point of a guard-heavy lineup at East. With three of its leading scorers gone due to graduation, Fox is likely going to have to score more points. She has had the luxury in the past of passing to her former teammates who have moved on to play college hoops. This year, though, she will have to find more shots for herself while continuing to get others on the court with her involved. With a lot more responsibility resting on her shoulders, Fox believes she is ready for her new role and thinks the Golden Eagles have a chance to continue the success the program has had in recent years. “I am definitely ready to step in,” Fox said. “We are a different team, but with change also comes an opportunity to be great again, and I think we can be just as good.” Fox plans on majoring in sports management.

Heels seek one win for bowl eligibility

game with East Rutherford until today, due to poor field conditions. The large amount of rain over the past couple of days has made the turf

dangerous for play. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Cushwa Stadium. The Bulldogs will play in the 2-A playoffs for the first time since the 90s.

They are the defending state champions at the 1AA level. Check in at tvilletimes. com late tonight for a complete game story.

CHAPEL HILL — Beginning today, the North Carolina football team will get three final chances at becoming bowl eligible. The Tar Heels are 6-3 overall and a win over No. 12 Miami today (3:30 p.m., WTVD), No. 21 Boston College or N.C. State (Nov. 28) would send them to back-to-back bowl games for the first time since going to seven straight from 1992-98. But even though UNC is one victory from a postseason berth, that’s not what the players are focusing on entering the last home game of the season. “You really don’t think about the bowl games just because you’re playing a conference game and it’s Miami, ranked 12th in the country,” UNC cornerback Kendric Burney said. “They’re coming to our place, so it’s definitely going to be rocking.” The Tar Heels and Hurricanes have had some dramatic games over the past few years, and UNC leads the series 3-2 since

Life gets tougher for Duke against Jackets BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun

DURHAM — This time last week, the Duke Blue Devils were teaming with confidence. Now they’re being double-teamed by reasons to lack in confidence. Duke entered the game at North Carolina a week ago on a three-game winning streak, but they exited Chapel Hill as a beaten team — literally and figuratively — after a 19-6 loss. Today they must try to bounce back against a Georgia Tech team ranked No. 7 in the nation, a team poised to qualify for the ACC Championship Game and that throttled Duke 27-0 a year ago. The Blue Devils may be facing an uphill battle, but they don’t feel like they’re starting over at the bottom of the hill. “You have to have shortterm memory,” Duke quarterback Thad Lewis said. “The momentum is still there. “It’s a big game because we have a chance to still be in the race, to still play in the ACC Championship game. It’s big.”

B2 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, November 14, 2009

SPORTS SHORT From page B1 the perfect time to complete his first touchdown pass, hitting Michael Vogler from eight yards out. Fuquay came back on to attempt the extra point, but pushed the kick wide right, leaving the Panthers down by one. His injury may have caused the miss, but Henderson does not believe so. “He said it didn’t, so I don’t know,” said Henderson. Ledford was given a gift late in the quarter as Carson’s Zack Gragg fumbled at the Ledford eight. But the Panthers could do nothing with it and saw its season come to an end. It was all Carson to start the game as they appeared to be well on their way to a blowout. Carson faced a long field on offense for its first series beginning at its own 10. Being pinned deep did not bother the Cougars at all, as they marched the ball the length of the field on eight plays. Shaun Warren got them out of harms way on the first play, shooting up field to the Ledford 48. Carson continued to move the ball down to the 17, where Clifford Long took the handoff and ran virtually untouched to the house for a 7-0 lead for the visitors with 4:40

on the clock in the first quarter. Ledford went threeand-out on its next possession and it did not get any better for them when they got the ball again. Fuquay threw an interception into the hands of Chris Barnhardt, who took it down to the Panther 29. Seven plays later, Long had his number called again on a fullback trap, scooting in from seven yards out and a 14-0 score. The Ledford defense came to life from that point on, keeping the game close until the offense found its way. The special teams were the first to rise to the occasion, as Chris Ross broke through on a punt attempt to get the block. Ledford took over at the 14 of the Cougars, and wasted little time getting in the end zone. Fuquay hit Shelton on the outside, who went in over the right side on the first play. Ledford’s defense continued to stiffen, coming up with a fumble recovery that set up the final scoring drive. “After they got those two scores the defense did a great job and kept them out,” said Henderson. But as Henderson put it, the Panthers ran out of bullets on offense and fell just short of the second round.

Duck hunting on public water OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist There’s nothing more satisfying than when work put in ahead of time pays off. We were sitting on the best piece of duck water on the lake waiting for a great hunt. We’d arrived at the boat ramp at 3 a.m., made the five mile run up the river in total darkness, and set up our hunt. Of course, we had it all ready by 4:30 and hawking hours were about 6:45, so we had some time to spend. At 5:30, a boat came up river and swung into our lagoon. A light flashed around, there was a loud expletive from one of the hunters in the boat and they moved on up the river. The scene was repeated several times right up until daylight. If you’re going to duck hunt on public water, you’d better have a reservation. There are a lot of duck hunters and not that many really good spots anymore. Public duck hunting can be very good especially

on opening days and just after big weather changes. The trick for getting ducks on public water is in the scouting. You must have a firm game plan and a plan B. I like to scout as close to the season opening as possible. Scouting in the middle of the day makes for a pleasant fall excursion but does little for your chances of getting the makings of some country style duck. You must scout at the same times you’ll be hunting for the best results. This means being on the water 30 minutes before sunrise. The good news is that, compared to how early you’ll have to get on the water when you actually hunt, you can sleep in late. Pick the locations you want to monitor on a nice fall day excursion and have GPS locations on the best prospect and your second and third choices. Be at that best place at the beginning of hawking hours and you’ll see the kind of waterfowl traffic to expect. I never set up to observe in the actual hunting location but rather out in the lake looking in. This way you may be able to monitor several potential hot spots from one central location. Bring binoculars and keep a look out for the way the ducks travel the lake or river early. Ninety percent of ducks shot are taken in the first hour of the hunt.

Check water depths and natural cover in the spots you choose. Remember that puddle ducks like mallards and woodies rarely land in water that’s more than two feet deep. Check out the bottom to see if you can set decoys by wading or if you’ll have to use the boat. A solid bottom is a factor that will save you time and effort. Consider the direction the sun will rise from and try to pick a spot that will be shaded the whole hunt. You’re much easier to see when the sun’s shining on you. If you can be in the shade and have the decoys in the light, that’s perfect. If you have a spot that would be great if it weren’t for the sun in your eyes, put it into your list to use in the event of a cloudy day. Choose your first, second, and third choices and mark them on the GPS. You can do this without a GPS but remember that, if it’s foggy on opening day, you may never find your spot in the dark. Alternate choices are important since you might be beaten to the spot. Someone may be willing to work harder at it than you. All the normal considerations apply when setting decoys on public water. Set your most distant decoy at the maximum range you want to shoot as a reference, leave an opening in front of the boat blind to

give the ducks a target spot to land in, and, if possible, rig up some kind of motion decoy to attract attention. Calling on public water is no different than anywhere else. Don’t over call. If you chose your spot well, the ducks will want to come there. Only call when ducks are not heading your way. If they’re coming, shut up. There are a couple of simple rules that’ll make you a better neighbor as a public water duck hunter. Don’t set up closer than 200 yards from someone else. If someone else got to your spot before you did, they deserve it. That’s why you have plan B. While it’s reasonable for you to call to ducks heading toward another setup, it’s not reasonable to sky blast at those ducks when they’re out of range. That’s just stupid and will almost guarantee your neighbors will return the favor when ducks are committed to your spread. OK, so you did everything right, you scouted and found a great spot, you arrived at your spot early, and you have the decoy spread out. You now have almost two hours to kill before it’s light enough to shoot. One of the great things about a well designed boat blind is how comfortable it can be with a small heater and some

SPORTS DUKE From page B! Duke had hoped today’s game at Wallace Wade Stadium (noon, ESPN2) would be for first place outright in the ACC’s Coastal Division. Now, Duke (5-4, 3-2 ACC) must beat the Yellow Jackets to stay alive and then hope for some help. If Georgia Tech (8-1, 61) wins, it clinches a spot in the ACC Championship Game. “It’s a huge game for the guys and our program,” Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson said. “We’re getting closer to the finish line as far as the conference race goes. “We have it in our sight now.” For the Blue Devils to keep that from happening, they’ll have to play much better than they did at UNC and a year ago at Georgia Tech. Duke did a decent job against Johnson’s potent option attack in 2008, but wide receiver Demayius Thomas ran rampant with 230 receiving yards. And that was without Georgia Tech starting

quarterback Josh Nesbitt, who gave way to backup Jaybo Shaw because of an injury. “They’re good, rightfully the No. 7 team in the country if not better than that,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “They’re a very difficult team to play because they do a great job offensively — everybody knows about that — and they keep the ball for long drives. “But they’re a team with balance. They play with a lot of energy on offense, defense and kicking game. If you look at their wins, all parts have been huge at times.” The performance of Duke’s offense will be key a week after the unit mustered just 125 yards and a year after not scoring at Tech. “The lack of understanding of the system kind of hindered us [a year ago], but we’re far beyond that now,” Lewis said. “We know what we’re doing, so we can put ourselves in better situations and counterattack because we’re better as a unit.” The offense also will be important because of the way the Yellow Jackets’

offense operates. Georgia Tech leads the nation in time of possession, keeping the ball for 34:56 on average. “When you’re playing a team that possesses the ball as well as Georgia Tech does, the best way to prevent them from dominating the ball is to try to stay on the field yourself,” Cutcliffe said. “Your offense isn’t just playing their defense; your offense is playing their offense. “You don’t want to put your defense right back on the field after they’ve just been on a 12- or 14play drive.” That’s what happened against UNC, and that’s what can’t happen today if the Blue Devils want to keep all their dreams alive. “This is huge,” Lewis said. “Every game from this point out has huge stakes.”

UNC hammers NCCU BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — N.C. Central kept things interesting for the first 7:35 of Wednesday’s game against North Carolina. The Eagles used a zone defense to slow down the Tar Heels’ talented big men and made back-toback 3-pointers to cut the lead to two points. But that would be as close as the NCCU would get in its first regular season trip to the Smith Center. No. 6 UNC went on a 32-3 run over the final 12:17 of the first half and coasted in the second for an 89-42 victory and a 2-0 start to its season. “We came here to win a game; there’s no moral victories,” first-year NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said. “We’re not happy that we played close the first 10 minutes. We came here to win a game.” Overall, the Tar Heels looked much more crisp than in their seasonopening victory over Florida International on Monday, and Coach Roy Williams was much happier with Wednesday’s win. After turning the ball over 26 times against FIU, the Tar Heels turned the ball over just 19 times against the Eagles. Senior Marcus Ginyard tied his career-high with 17 points to lead the Tar

BOWL From page B1 Miami joined in the ACC in 2004. The Hurricanes (7-2, 4-2) haven’t won in their three trips to Chapel Hill, including a loss in 2004 when they were ranked No. 4. UNC also has won the past two meetings between the programs, including the come-frombehind victory a year ago at Dolphin Stadium. In that game, backup quarterback Cam Sexton came off the bench to lead the Tar Heels on two fourth-quarter scoring drives and safety Trimane Goddard picked off a pass in the end zone on the final play of the game to preserve the win. But even though UNC coach Butch Davis is 2-0 against his former team, he doesn’t think there’s a magic formula to beating the Hurricanes. “Both of the times we were just fortunate enough to hang around and be in the game, and we kind of withstood some of the explosive plays that they’re so very capable of making,” Davis said. “Certainly last year’s ballgame went right down to the wire. … We were just very fortunate Trimane Goddard made an unbelievable interception, and we were just fortunate enough to

Heels, and big men Deon Thompson and Tyler Zeller added 13 and 12 points, respectively. No other player finished in double figures, but 12 of the 16 players who got into the game scored. In was the second of the Tar Heels’ two home games in the 2K Sports Coaches vs. Coaches Classic, and they travel to Madison Square Garden next week to face No. 16 Ohio State and either No. 13 California or Syracuse in the championship rounds. “For the most part, I was much more pleased than I was the other night,” Williams said. “I thought we were more attentive. We are just so much bigger than LeVelle’s team.” The Tar Heels outrebounded the Eagles — whose tallest player stands 6-8 — 46-24 and had 46 points in the paint. UNC scored 13 points off 13 offensive rebounds, and Williams said it looked like his team was playing volleyball near the basket at times. “We’re just so much more gifted and particularly so much bigger than they are [that] it was tough to maintain concentration for the kids,” Williams said. “They kept wanting to look at the score because they’re young, and I keep trying to tell them not to look at the score and just play

the game.” UNC jumped to an early seven-point lead at the start of the game, but pesky NCCU stuck around. The Eagles’ Vincent Davis hit a 3-pointer with 12:25 to play to cut the Tar Heels’ lead to 1917. But then a John Henson layup kick-started a 21-0 run by the Tar Heels, with eight of Ginyard’s point coming during that stretch. NCCU scored just one bucket the rest of the first half — a Dwayne Sims 3pointer to put the score at 40-20. UNC then used an 11-0 run to take a 51-20 lead into the break. “They are who we thought they were, for sure,” Moton said. Junior guard C.J. Wilkerson led the Eagles (0-1) with 16 points in 38 minutes and was the only NCCU player to finish in double figures. Moton said UNC’s size and depth eventually wore the Eagles down, but the game was a learning experience for a program that is entering its third-season on the Division I level. NCCU was down by as many as 52 in the second half and scored just 22 points in the second period. “It was a humbling experience for those guys,” Moton said. “Make no mistake about it, North Carolina has really been the blueprint of college basketball.”

win the game.” Davis said Miami is dramatically improved from a year ago, and overall it’s the most athletic team the Tar Heels have faced this season. The league’s fifthranked defense has all the trademark of a typical Miami defense, as it is fast and physical. The Hurricanes have the second-best red zone defense in the ACC and are giving up just 327.6 yards per game. “I wish we could find some weaknesses, but it doesn’t look like they have any,” Davis said. Offensively, the Hurricanes are led by quarterback Jacory Harris, who has the top passer efficiency rating (149.7) in the ACC. Harris will be the fourth consecutive quarterback UNC’s nationally fifth-ranked defense has faced that either leads the ACC in passing yards or pass efficiency. Florida State’s Christian Ponder and Duke’s Thaddeus Lewis each were tops in passing yards entering their matchup with UNC, and Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor was first in pass efficiency. Harris also is fourth in the conference with 259.6 passing yards per game but has thrown a leaguehigh 12 interceptions. “He’s been tearing up the field,” Burney said. “He was a Heisman candidate for a couple of

weeks, so we know exactly how good this kid can be and we definitely know the challenge. But as a secondary, as a defense, we love when a challenge comes to us so it should be fun.”

Making a difference

First Bancorp reports third quarter results TIMES STAFF REPORT

TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist

Last week’s column ended with this thought: What did YOU want to be when you grew up? A lot of us... wanted to do something that makes a difference. Does ‘making a difference’ mean the same thing to everyone? In a new (2008) Davies-Black publication, organizational psychologist Gregory E. Huszczo explores this question. The full book title is Making a Difference by Being Yourself. Huszczo admits that there may be some common helping behaviors that anyone can use to make a difference at work or at home. But there may be greater satisfaction in using the strengths of your natural personality preferences. Huszczo’s research points to the fact that each of us has a personality style that positions us well in our efforts to make a difference. He uses the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and reports on how type relates to positive choices when seeking to fulfill this basic human desire. Knowing your style and putting it to good use, tends to produce greater levels of happiness for the server and those served. Two different mission experiences may illustrate the point. On one particular Central American trip, one of my big jobs was water. That’s right, water. I hauled it, boiled it, dipped it, chilled it, and washed dishes with it. I don’t see myself as a kitchen person ~ yet my entire week

was spent in a makeshift kitchen. Out of my comfort zone? Yes and No. Although the tasks were VERY different from what I normally do, there was ample opportunity to be with and help others who clearly benefitted from the work of my hands. As a relational sort, I focused my efforts and thoughts on getting to know and enjoying the people around me. I found them to be warm, loving and appreciative. Another trip brought a different experience. Throughout the week, I could not find my place. Others were running the kitchen, and I found myself coming up short on challenging, new cultural experiences. My assignments took little time to complete and I began to wonder why I was even there. Later in the week I initiated a joint dinner with a team from another part of that country. We came from different religious traditions and ate very different kinds of foods. It was tricky pulling everyone together. But we agreed to come together and enjoy an evening of food and fellowship. Finding common ground in rocky soil can be a heady experience for personality types like mine. It was a soulful and stimulating evening, and one that finally allowed me to really ‘make a difference.’ Those experiences showed me ways that I like to make a difference. How about you? How do you like to make a difference? Huszczo’s framework points to four distinct groups that share similar traits. These core personality types (also known as functional areas in MyersBriggs typology) include: Stabilizers Harmonizers Catalysts Visionaries SATURDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

Stabilizers tend to focus on simplifying things, getting it done, moving one step at a time and catching/correcting mistakes. Harmonizers make a difference by being there for others, being positive, being inclusive and getting to know others personally. The Catalysts are about reaching dreams, seeing good in everyone, facilitating communication and developing people’s potential. Visionaries rally around utilizing competencies, challenging self and others, being architects of the future and taking charge of change efforts. Where do you see yourself ?

TROY, N.C. -- First Bancorp (NASDAQ - FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, recently announced third quarter net income available to common shareholders of $5.4 million compared to $6.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2008. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.32 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $0.37 in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $48.5 million compared to $17.0 million reported for the comparable period in 2008. Earnings per diluted common share were $2.91 compared to $1.07 for the same nine months in 2008. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company realized a $62.1 million gain related to the acquisition of Cooperative Bank in Wilmington, North Carolina. The after-tax impact of this gain was $37.6 million, or $2.25 per diluted common share. Jerry L. Ocheltree, President and CEO of First Bancorp, commented on the bank’s third quarter report: “I am pleased with the solid results we are reporting today. The acquisition and conversion of Cooperative Bank went smoothly, and I believe we are poised for even greater success in the future.” The primary factors contributing to the lower net income for the third quarter of 2009 were a higher provision for loan losses and preferred dividends paid to the U.S. Treasury. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2008.

The higher provision was necessary to higher loan losses that the Company has experienced in the difficult economic environment. The Company has recorded $1.0 million in preferred stock dividends in each of the first three quarters of 2009 related to the January 12, 2009 issuance of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury. These amounts have reduced the Company’s net income available to common shareholders. Total assets at September 30, 2009, amounted to

$3.5 billion, 30.3 percent higher than a year earlier. Total loans amounted to $2.7 billion, a 21.9 percent increase from a year earlier, and total deposits amounted to $2.9 billion, a 44.4 percent increase from a year earlier. Excluding the Cooperative acquisition, the Company has experienced a decline in loans and an increase in deposits during 2009. Loan balances declined $27 million, or 1.2 percent, in the third quarter of 2009 and have declined $64 million, or 2.9 percent, year to date.
