Creaseys’ return to find dream home Reveal brings excitement for family, spectators
Family thanks community for caring efforts
BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

LEXINGTON — Thousands of people welcomed the Creasey family home Tuesday with wild cheers and applause as they rode up in a limousine. William, 40, Tricia, 37, Brittany, 12, and 5-year-old twins Makenzie and Makayla were arriving from a week-long vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida, during which the local community built their dream home as part of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Chants of “Creasey! Creasey!” gave way to “Move that bus!” — a call to get rid of the only obstacle standing between the Creasey family and their new home. When the bus finally rolled away, Tricia and William doubled over in disbelief and amazement. The couple also looked overwhelmed by the support from volunteers and community members, some of whom held signs that said, “We love you, Mrs. Creasey!” and “We missed you!” They gave emotional greetings and hugs to several people in attendance. Christy Sarver, Crystal Sexton and Christy Slate all taught seventh grade on a team with Tricia two years ago at E. Lawson Brown Middle School. Sexton continues to work with her, and says that Tricia teaches as much as she can while battling stage four colorectal cancer. “It’s very difficult, because she’s tired when she comes back to school,” Sexton said. “She
wants to be there, because she feels like her job is important, and she wants to do the best she can for her students.” Sarver said she has known Tricia for more than 10 years, and she is glad that the Creasey family will get to relax a bit. “It’s so nice to know that the family has something now that they don’t have to worry about,” Sarver said. “William doesn’t have to worry about the house anymore, and Tricia can get some rest.” The Creaseys’ old 1,180square-foot home had numer-
LEXINGTON — Tricia Creasey and her family stood out in front of their new dream home Wednesday afternoon and thanked a community for making the impossible a reality. “This has been a whirlwind,” Tricia Creasey said. “This week has been so incredible knowing how the community cares and seeing all the people who have given their time and put in so much effort to giving our family our dream — and that’s a safe home and a healthy home, a place where I can recover, relax and hopefully get better.” Despite seeing their new home on Tuesday when Extreme Makeover: Home Edition unveiled the house to the Creasey’s, Wednesday marked the first time the family actually got to spend the night. Tricia Creasey, who is battling Stage 4 colon/rectal cancer, said a few of her favorite things about the house so far is the fireplace and a dining room table constructed from remnants of her old porch. Perhaps the most important feature to the new four bedroom, two and a half bath home for Tricia is her bedroom. In her old house, the master bedroom rested in a high traffic area in front

City council presents annual audit report
Software creates virtual classroom BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Liberty Drive Elementary students got a unique art lesson from a famous author on Monday and never had to leave the confines of their library. Thanks to a new software application called Skype, students at LDE were able to link up with author and artist Mike Artell from his home in Louisiana via the Internet, allowing the school to bring an expert to the children while saving money in the long run. “Skype is something we’re going to be doing here this year,” Jennifer Newby, LDE’s instructional technology facilitator said. “It will allow us to collaborate and

tell, asking the author questions on how he got into drawing cartoons and writing children books. Artell read a portion of his book “Petite Rogue” A Cajun Red Riding Hood” and proceeded to give students a quick tutorial on how to become a better artist. Through a simple click of the mouse, Artell could actually draw with the students, allowing them to see his creation come to life step by step. “The trick to cartooning is to keep it simple,” Artell said to Craig Stesnewski’s fifth grade class. “You don’t want to over draw. You can do all kinds of things with cartooning. There really is no limits as to what you can do.”

Holiday food safety: Is is done and is it safe BY JEANNIE M. LEONARD Cooperative Extension Agency
It’s hard to think of the holidays without thinking about food- roast ham, standing rib roast, tender brisket with gravy, perhaps even a spicy, deep-fried turkey. And don’t forget the creamy mashed potatoes and the pies, cookies and other special treats for the holiday season. With these fond thoughts of holiday foods comes the pressure- pressure to prepare everything just right and pressure to serve safe food to all those guests. The cookies and mashed potatoes are relatively straightforward, but how do you know if a turkey or a beef roast is thoroughly cooked? Is “done” the same as “safe”? Not always. Doneness reflects subjective qualities such as the appearance, texture and optimum flavor of food. However, research has shown that these qualities aren’t necessarily reliable indicators of safety. Only a food thermometer can be relied upon to accurately ensure destruction of pathogens that might be in the food. Visual signs of doneness should be reserved for situations in which doneness is reached after the food has reached a safe temperature. Poultry is one product that generally reaches a safe temperature (160 degrees F) before most consumers consider it done (165-180 degrees F). At an internal temperature of 160 degrees F throughout, pathogenic bacteria have been destroyed, but poultry will still be pink and raw-looking near the bone and the juices will be pink and/or cloudy. At temperatures of 170 degrees F for white meat and 180 degrees F for dark meat, the flesh of poultry will no longer be pink, the juices will run
clear and the joints will move easily. Visual clues, however, can’t be trusted for the stuffing. The only sure way to be sure the stuffing has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F is to use a thermometer. Beef is another product that needs a thermometer to ensure safety. While few people like their chick and turkey pink, many prefer beef that is still red or pink in the middle. Luckily, a solid muscle beef roast that has been cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F or higher will have reached a high enough temperature on the surface to destroy E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria. Beef products that have been rolled, ground, or mechanically tenderized, however, need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F to ensure safety. Recent research has confirmed that ground beef may turn brown before it has reached 160 degrees F. The only way to ensure safety and doneness is by using a food thermometer. For patties, this often means inserting a thermometer sideways into the hamburger in order to get an accurate reading. A hamburger cooked at 160 degrees F, measured with a food thermometer throughout the patty, is safe – regardless of the color. Pork roasts are considered safe if they have been cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. At this temperature, the center of the roast may still be somewhat pink. Pork chops also may have just a trace of pink color at this temperature. Again, the only way to ensure that pork with any pinkness has reached a safe temperature is with a meat thermometer. To ensure safety, casse-

Letters to the Editor To the Editor This year the Tom A. Finch YMCA only had enough children to make up one team in the Junior-Pro league. In order for the kids to play, Jamie Mills, the youth director at the Tom A. Finch YMCA scheduled games against the Archdale and High Point YMCAs. Coach Vic Finlay, with the help of Coach Keith Underwood, and Coach Jim Gainey, did a terrific job and had wonderful winning soccer season with the Tom A. Finch YMCA “Freedom” Junior-Pro team! I wanted to write to congratulate the “Freedom” team that won the championship against the Hartley Drive Junior-pro team on Nov. 7, 2009. The children did an outstanding job. They all played their hardest and worked together to win! Congrats to all the kids and the coaches. Thanks also to Jamie Mills for a great job and all his hard work! Peg Finlay Thomasville
To the Editor Dear citizens of Thomasville. I offer thanks and appreciation to you all for your moral support and votes for me during the Thomasville City election held on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, and over the past 18 years since November 1991. I has been a pleasure to have served you this long, the longest term that any other cit council member in the history of Thomasville City. Thank you for your trust and confidence of which you have placed in me over the past years. Thank you, for your thoughtfulness in times without an end. Thank you for
being a helping friend with the economy being what it is for the past two to three years with the loss of jobs and a steady declining and sloping downward. I tried to do my very best to accomplish much for our city and the citizens here. I tried to help save jobs and businesses and I have assisted with many goals and objectives, such as keeping your taxes down, bringing new industries and businesses here, such as Walmart, Unilin flooring, BoJangles, Denny’s, Ruby Tuesday’s, as well as closing the city dumps and helping to convert it into a golf course. I’ve also assisted with having sidewalks for MLK Drive, an underpass for peace Street, new fire stations, CBG Grant program for homes to be repaired, P.A.R.T. transportation and many other things for the city of Thomasville in the past years. Special thanks for the cards you sent and the telephone calls you made to me. I would like to personally congratulate the two new council members elected, Mr. Ronald Bratton and Miss Jackie Jackson. I wish them good luck with much success for the future. Some citizens feel lik it was time for a change with new faces, new ideas and new blood to serve on city council with the economy being what it is in the day and time. Again, special thanks and appreciation for allowing me to serve you all over these past 18 years. May God continue to bless and keep you all George Burton Thomasville Former Thomasville City Council member
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist These days, where you fall on the crucial issue of Sarah Palin tells the rest of us all we need to know about your character. You’re either A) a scum-sucking, terror-loving elitist or B) a radical, tea bag-loving simpleton. Yet believe it or not, one can (as I do) admire Palin’s charisma and roots, appreciate her dissent on the policy experiments brainy folks in Washington are cooking up and, at the same time, believe she has no business running for president in 2012. In fact, all you haters out there motivate me to root for her. There’s nothing wrong, for instance, with The Associated Press’ assigning a crack team of investigative journalists to sift through every word of Palin’s book, “Going Rogue,” for inaccuracies. You only wish similarly methodical muckraking were applied to President Barack Obama’s two self-aggrandizing tomes — or even the health care or cap-andtrade bills, for that matter.
The widely read blogger and purveyor of all truth, Andrew Sullivan, was impelled to blog 17 times on the subject of Palin on the same day Americans learned that the Obama administration had awarded $6.7 billion in stimulus money to nonexistent congressional districts — which did not merit a single mention. To see what is in front of one’s nose demands a constant struggle, I guess. And it’s not just bloggers. What choice do media outlets have but to provide comprehensive coverage of pistachio salesman and Playgirlposing Levi Johnston, doltish erstwhile father of Palin’s grandchild, a man whose only discernible talents are the possession of operational sperm and the ability to humiliate the former vice presidential nominee? How could a major magazine, such as Newsweek, be expected to use a cover photo of Palin campaigning or spending time with her child who has Down syndrome, when editors simply could borrow a shot of the 45-yearold mother of five decked out in her exercise tights — nudge nudge, wink wink — from a Runner’s World piece and slap the headline “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah?” onto it? Newsweek must have a point. Palin is a populist dead end. “Just over half of Americans,” a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds, “have an unfavorable opinion” of Palin overall, “as many say they wouldn’t consider support-
ing her for president and more — six in 10 — see her as unqualified for the job.” Similarly, a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll recently found that 48 percent of Americans disapprove of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a woman busy writing policy that affects all of us. Does this not require a “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Nancy?” headline from the venerable magazine? Who knows what is to become of Palin? Today, though, there is little doubt the left is using her to create ugly stereotypes and attack limited-government types across the country. Palin claims that a presidential run is not on her “radar screen right now.” She may have gone rogue on John McCain — joining the rest of America — but Palin will have to work to articulate her positions, show more intellectual curiosity and fuse her magnetism with more substantive thinking. But because of the stupendously nasty campaign waged against her, she might not get the chance. At least, that’s this scumsucking elitist’s opinion.

Amanda Cassetta, LDE’s media coordinator, said she had wanted to have someone like Artell to the school but the cost of bringing an established professional was far too expensive.
By using Skype, Cassetta said she will now be able to bring in other experts, such as meteorologists and paleontologists to LDE at virtually no cost. “I wanted an author to come and visit, but it was $3,000,� said Cassetta. “This was like $250. With the IMPACT grant, we’re trying to integrate as much technology as
we can into the school. What a better way than to bring in an author. The kids loved it.

They also amended an ordinance regarding solicitation and canvassers, which would require a criminal background check from the clerk of court’s office in Lexington. A public hearing was held regarding possible changes to the flea market ordinance, including a requirement for sufficient off-street parking, but no action was taken. Also at the meeting, council approved a formalized code of ethics, required by the state of North Carolina for all elected boards. “This code of ethics was developed using input from other cities, as well as the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill,� Craver said. “It outlines behaviors that an elected board should follow.� The code states that a city council member shall obey the law, uphold the integrity and independence of his or her office, avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of his or her activities, perform the duties of the office diligently, conduct the affairs of the city council in an open and public manner, regulate his or her extra governmental

Finding your strengths TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist
Do you believe yourself to be a talented individual? I recently asked this question to the members of a closely knit group, and six hands went up. “Really?” I asked. “Is that all?” Several more hands went up. But others staunchly refused to lift a hand. Does their reaction reflect a greater degree of personal modesty? First, we might think about how we define “talented’. Encarta says: “Having natural ability, showing an exceptional ability to do something.” Notice that last word, “something”. It doesn’t say dance, sing, paint, play an instrument or offer a dramatic monologue. No mention is made of mathematical genius or technological wizardry. Again, it says “natural ability…to do something”. Given that definition, couldn’t the word talented apply to ALL? That IS the argument being made by Tom Rath and the Gallop organiza-

Now Discover Your Strengths led the way, along with How Full is Your Bucket?, Strengths Finders 2.0 and Strengths Based Leadership are filling the shelves and the #1 slot on the New York Times Best Seller List. Notice the word ‘strength’ keeps coming up. Obviously it’s a key word. Rath believes that talents can become strengths with focused effort. Talent is the raw material with which we develop our strengths ~ IF we focus on them and NOT on our weaknesses. Here’s the premise. You were born with a few talents. If you’re lucky, you identified them early and put them to good use. You didn’t worry too much about the things you didn’t do well and instead, developed compensatory strategies and partnerships to keep you humming. You focused on your strengths. All too often, that ISN”T what happens. Many individuals don’t identify their natural strengths and spend a lifetime trying to fix their weaknesses. Parents, Teachers, Coaches, Counselors, Supervisors, Managers, HR staff - all helping professionals fail their charge if efforts are focused solely on shortcomings that can never be completely overcome. “You can be anything you want to be”. Rath reminds us that ain’t

Not a bad deal, especially when you can purchase the hardback book(s) considerably under retail from local bookstores or online. Strength Finders 2.0 is a generic, one size fits all version that works well for all ages, 16 and up. Your access code is included inside the book. It is your ticket to talent discovery.

Only by using a food thermometer can you be sure the product has been heated to a safe temperature. The best part about using a food thermometer is that it takes thee guesswork out of cooking. No more cutting into your turkey or beef roast to see if it looks done. Simply place the food thermometer into the food in a couple of places and check the temperature of the food. You’ll know if it needs to

Recording artist Jewel and her husband, world champion bull rider Ty Murray, talk to media while at the Creasey home Tuesday afternoon.
REVEAL From page A1 ous structural problems such as holes in the floor, walls and roof; cracks in the foundation; lack of insulation; and extensive water damage from the leaking roof. They bought the 1930s house 12 years ago and planned to fix it up, but after Tricia was diagnosed four years ago, her illness took a financial and emotional toll on the family. The family’s new fourbedroom, two-and-a-halfbathroom house measures 3,100 square feet. It has a rustic porch in front and a spacious deck behind, as well as a new playset for the Creasey children in the backyard. The house was built to optimize energy efficiency, resource efficiency and air quality. The interior rooms will remain a secret to the public until the episode airs around February of next year. “It’s gorgeous,” Sexton said. “They’ve done a wonderful job fitting the family. It’s like they took what [the Creaseys] would want in a dream house and did it.” The teachers said that about 75 or 80 of Tricia’s seventh-grade students were brought on a field trip to the site, and many more children were there from different grades and
schools across Davidson County. “My kids are so excited for Mrs. Creasey,” Sexton said. “Every day, someone comes in with a new update. Their parents took them to the site, and they just can’t wait to share all the good news that they have.” Courtney Baldobino and Matthew Newnam are two of Tricia’s students who were there to see the reveal. “We love her so much, and she’s very nice,” Baldobino said. “It’s very exciting for us to be coming down here to watch our teacher and see her new house. It’s exciting for the teachers, especially, because they’ve known her for a very long time.” Baldobino said that the students found out Tricia had cancer during the first week of school, and soon the teacher began wearing head scarves to hide her hair loss from chemotherapy. Newnam said that Tricia’s students try to help lift her spirits during this tough time. “We try to cheer her up when she’s down and feeling sick,” he said. “We want to help her out. She’s the best teacher ever.” Recording artist Jewel and her husband, world champion bull rider Ty Murray, visited the site Monday and Tuesday and

greeted the family when they came home. “It’s really been an honor to be here in the community and just see how much Mrs. Creasey has affected everybody’s lives,” Jewel said. “She seems like she’s been an angel for a lot of people.” Jewel helped bring furniture into the house and put up siding, and she said that it was unbelievable that such a beautiful home could be built in such a short time. “Whenever I remodel my house, my contractor is going to have big shoes to fill,” Jewel said. “I’ll be like, ‘Five days, brother!’” Murray said he was amazed watching the process of building the house. “It’s not a movie set house,” he said. “It’s a really nice, very well-built house. Every single detail is covered. The fact that they’re able to do that in five days is amazing.” The couple said they were moved by both the family’s story and the spirit of the community. “I put a line in a song that says, ‘in the end, only kindness matters,’ and it’s really true,” Jewel said. “Just the smallest helping hand can really mean the world to somebody.”
of the bathroom, making it difficult for her to get the much-needed rest while she fights her cancer. “The house is so beautiful,” said Tricia. “If could have chose how to build a house, this is what it would look like. It is absolutely me and my family. I don’t know how Jason [Hedrick] knew what to build us but he did an awesome job.” Tricia’s husband, William, said the family is excited to finally be home following a week of isolation in Walt Disney World. The family couldn’t watch any local news and was restricted from talking on the phone while in Florida. Now that the wait is over, the Creasey’s are ready to start their new lives. “This week has went by so fast and we’re ready to spend the night in our home,” William Creasey said. “Thanks to anybody who had any small part or large part, or whatever they did to help out. Thank you so much. This has been amazing and is a once-in-a-lifetime ordeal. The house is us, up and down, one side and the other. It’s exactly what we would’ve wanted in a home.” The family was asked specifics about the new home but were restrcited from
giving any details until the show airs early next year. When asked about her room, 12-year-old Brittany Creasey said “You’ll find out in February.” Tricia said she will return to work at Brown Middle School on Monday and will resume her chemotherapy treatments. She said she also is looking forward to moving into her classroom at BMS after spending the past three years in a trailer teaching seventh grade science and social studies. “I skipped a chemo treatment in order to go on the show and on vacation,” said Tricia. “Its’ been a couple weeks since I’ve been on chemo and I’m dreading having to go back to the real world. “Being a teacher means the world to me. It’s one of the most important things to me is to be a teacher and a great teacher to my students.” One of the first things Tricia said she would like to do in her home is have Jason Hedrick, owner of Hedrick Creative Builders, the company that did the construction on the house, over for dinner. “Most definitely,” Hedrick said to the family. “There’s nothing I would like more than that. I’ve told people several times that I just want to come and sit down and talk to guys.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

Kids Learn to Manage Their Health
Understanding Diabetes Do you know any kids who have diabetes (dye-uh-BEE-teez)? Maybe a kid in your class checks his or her blood sugar during the school day. Or maybe someone in your family is diabetic. November is National Diabetes Month. The Mini Page talked with an expert in the treatment of diabetes to find out more about this disease that affects many kids.
What is diabetes? Our bodies need energy so that we can learn, play and grow. We get energy from the foods we eat. In our bodies, some foods break down into a natural sugar called glucose (GLUE-cose). We need glucose for our bodies to work right. For most people, glucose is delivered to cells with the help of insulin (IN-suhlin). Insulin is made in the pancreas (PAN-cree-us), a large organ that is close to your stomach. But people with diabetes have a problem with their pancreas. For some of them, certain cells in the pancreas are attacked by the body. When that happens, the body makes less and less insulin, so glucose can’t get to the other cells in the body to provide energy.
When we eat, food is broken down into different things the body needs. The carbohydrates in foods are broken down into glucose (stars). The pancreas makes insulin (keys). They combine and enter the bloodstream.
Insulin works like a key, unlocking the door to cells for glucose. Glucose gives our cells energy. In someone with Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas no longer makes insulin. Too much glucose stays in the blood instead of getting to the cells that need it.

Type 1 diabetes
Why does it happen?
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is sometimes called juvenile, or childhood, diabetes. Unfortunately, kids don’t grow out of diabetes. Type 1 is the form that most often affects kids. About 15,000 kids in the United States find out they have Type 1 diabetes every year.
When cells in the body start to destroy other cells, this is called an auto-immune attack. Scientists are not sure why some people’s cells suddenly begin to attack insulin-making cells. Usually people who get Type 1 diabetes are healthy in other ways. They don’t get diabetes because they eat too much sugar or weigh more than normal. Researchers are working hard to find the causes of diabetes and develop a cure for the disease.

More About Diabetes Signs of diabetes
Playing sports
Science to the rescue
The first symptoms, or signs, of Type 1 diabetes are feeling very thirsty and having to use the bathroom more. This happens because the body is trying to get rid of the extra glucose in the blood. Other symptoms might include: s SUDDEN LOSS OF WEIGHT s BEING REALLY TIRED s A CHANGE IN VISION s FRUITY SMELLING BREATH
People once believed that people with diabetes were fragile and couldn’t be athletic. Today we know that physical activity actually lowers blood sugar and helps people control their glucose levels.
Researchers work every day to find a cure for diabetes. One area they’re studying is the genes that may be involved. Scientists are also making it easier to manage diabetes. Insulin pumps and blood glucose meters can communicate wirelessly, much like computers, to help people keep track of glucose levels and give the correct dosages of insulin.

Supersport: Luke Harangody Height: 6-8 Birthdate: 1-2-88 Weight: 246 Hometown: Schererville, Ind. Luke Harangody could be in the NBA, making baskets and big bucks. But he decided to return to Notre Dame for his senior year, a big reason Irish eyes are smiling as the college basketball season approaches. Harangody, who looks as if he could help the Fighting Irish’s football team, is an All-American and among the leading preseason National Player of the Year candidates. !S A JUNIOR IN HE AVERAGED POINTS AND REBOUNDS PER GAME AS THE DEFENDING "IG %AST #ONFERENCE 0LAYER OF THE 9EAR In his biography published by the school’s athletic department, Harangody is described as a tough, hard-nosed player with an outstanding work ethic. Opponents will try to pester him with different defensive tactics, but stopping the Irish giant is a tall task. He should have another great season, then dribble off to the NBA, with a diploma in hand as well.
Diabetes isn’t picky
Type 2 diabetes is much more common than Type 1. )T HAS BEEN CALLED hADULT ONSETv DIABETES BUT KIDS ARE getting Type 2 diabetes more and more. This type works a little bit differently than Type 1. Instead of the insulin cells being attacked, the body either doesn’t make enough, or it doesn’t use insulin as well as the body of a person without diabetes. Many people can control Type 2 diabetes by choosing healthier foods and exercising more. Others have to take medicines to control their blood glucose. The Mini Page thanks Dr. Robert Goldstein, chief scientific officer of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, for help with this issue.

Kids with diabetes look and act just like other kids.
One of the most important things to remember about diabetes is that it can affect any type of person at any time of life. The disease can cause other serious health problems, but people who have it can reduce their risk of these by controlling their blood glucose well. Eating right and exercising regularly also help people with diabetes — and all of us — stay healthy. from The Mini Page Š 2009 Universal Uclick

How Does It Feel? Testing blood glucose
Yikes! Shots?!
One of the most important parts of managing diabetes is knowing how much glucose is in your blood. Healthy levels are between about 70 and 140 milligrams of glucose per deciliter (one-tenth of a liter) of blood.
For people with Type 1 diabetes, INSULIN MUST BE INJECTED INTO THE skin. Some kids freak out when they think of taking several shots a day. Fortunately, the needles are very short, and most kids with diabetes become so brave that they can give themselves the shots. Insulin has to be taken each time a person eats. There are a couple ways this can happen: s 0EOPLE MIGHT use a needle and syringe, similar to what a doctor gives a shot with. s /THERS MIGHT use an insulin pen, which makes choosing the dosage a little easier. Either way, the person must figure out the right dosage for the food they’re going to eat.

+IDS WHO ARE LIVING WITH DIABETES FEEL JUST LIKE YOU DO 4HEY LIKE TO RUN around outside, eat delicious food, watch TV and play video games. But finding out you have diabetes can be upsetting. Type 1 usually comes on quickly, and families may be surprised to learn that their child has diabetes. Some kids will get very sick. This is because too much glucose in the bloodstream can cause the body to make an acid called ketones +%9 tones). High amounts of ketones might make someone have trouble breathing, become confused or feel sick to his stomach.
People with diabetes test their glucose using a blood glucose meter. They prick one of their fingers with a thin, sharp needle called a lancet. Then they touch the drop of blood to a test strip, a small piece of plastic with chemicals in it. The strip is inserted into an electronic meter, which shows a reading of the blood glucose level.
Learning to manage diabetes When diabetes is first diagnosed, the patient may have to spend some time in the hospital. It may take doctors a few days to get blood glucose to a healthy level. While at the hospital, a kid who’s old enough will learn all about the disease and how to manage it after going home. For younger kids, family members will need to learn how to test blood glucose and give insulin.
!LL THE FOLLOWING JOKES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON #AN YOU GUESS THE COMMON THEME OR CATEGORY
People with diabetes have to test their blood glucose several times a day — usually at least before each meal and before bed.
Taking insulin The other critical part of having diabetes is taking insulin to replace what the body has stopped making. Each time a person with diabetes eats a food with carbohydrates, he has to do math. Doctors help figure out how many units of insulin each person must take for each gram of carbohydrate he or she eats.

Do the pump A pump is a cell phone-sized computer that delivers insulin in tiny drops all day and night, along with bigger doses for food. The insulin travels from the pump through a long tube into a short, tiny tube called a cannula #!. YOO LAH THAT is stuck in the skin. The site, or place where the tube attaches to the skin, has to be changed about every three days. Mini Page photo

AREA NEWS DCCC helps Extreme Makeover family with scholarships
TIMES STAFF REPORT
Davidson County Community College joined with thousands of community members to support Tricia and William Creasey and their three daughters during the recent Extreme Home Makeover. The Creasey’s three daughters, Brittany,12, and twins Makenzie and Makayla, 5, won’t have to worry about their first two years of college since the DCCC Foundation provided DCCC scholarships for all three when they reach college age. DCCC President Dr. Mary Rittling presented the three Creasey children with a large coupon good for tuition-paid, twoyear DCCC scholarships during a press conference on Wednesday, Nov. 18. “The college is a major part of the Davidson County community, and we are blessed to be able to play a small role in helping this deserving family with their child-
rens’ education. Our entire college community came together to do what we could to help, and we all agree that the opportunity is one we will never forget; it reminds us how good it feels to give to others,� Rittling said. DCCC students, the Student Government Association, faculty and staff volunteered at the building site 24 hours a day Nov. 12 through Nov. 16, working under a food and beverage tent serving snacks and drinks to approximately 1,500 community volunteers. The DCCC STORM men’s basketball team donated their muscle power to the furnishings and accessory moving effort as the home was completed on Monday, Nov. 16 and Tuesday, Nov. 17. Students in DCCC’s therapeutic massage program worked on-site under the Thomasville Medical Center tent, giving neck, head and back massages to the builders
and volunteers who constructed the home from start to finish in less than a week. Guided by DCCC instructorsTiffany Hemrick and Alycia Parsons, 16 therapeutic massage students worked on 120 volunteers, including a few Extreme Home Makeover designers such as Paul DiMeo. They gave massages from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 14 and 15, and the recipients said it was just what they needed to ease their sore, aching muscles after laboring long hours in the cold rain and wind to meet the building deadlines. Many DCCC Maintenance Department staff members helped with the Extreme Makeover effort, including Eric Spencer, who also volunteered his skills as a trim carpenter. Other DCCC maintenance staff drove DCCC volunteers to and from the site in vans from the college that ran in 24hour shifts.

GAME NOTES
With the way the Thomasville defense has been playing these days, it is hard to fathom them losing another game this season. Holding a talented East Rutherford team to just three points last week in a 35-3 win, the Bulldogs have now only allowed 23 points over their last seven games. Keeping its next opponent from putting points on the board may not be quite as easy. Thomasville (8-4) will play host to Polk County (10-2) this Friday in the second round of the NCHSAA 2-A state football playoffs, a team that beat Brevard 31-10 last week. The Wolverines are the No. 5 seed in the 2-A West, finishing tied with Mountain Heritage in the 2-A/1-A Western Highlands Conference. One of Polk County’s losses came to Mountain Heritage, a 27-7 decision.
Thomasville has won seven straight games ... The defense has allowed just 23 points during that stretch.
The game will be aired live by Pro Teem Sports on TimeWarner Channel 13. “They are a well-rounded football team,” said THS head coach Allen Brown. “They have a good balance of run and pass on offense, and their defense is sound and they are excellent in the kicking game.” Junior quarterback Andre Overholt is the heart and soul of what the Wolverines like to do on offense. He can run it and pass it,
rushing for 875 yards in just eight games. He had three touchdowns in the win against Brevard. “He is probably the best runner they have and he is a more than adequate passer,” said Brown. “Everything runs through him.” Preparing for Polk and its offense will not be easy for the Bulldogs. They run multiple designs on offense out of the shotgun, spreading it out. Brown says they are versatile in what they do, and that his defense will need to be sharp and prepared for whatever formation the Wolverines line up in. “We will have to play a heads up defensive game,” Brown said. “There are lots of adjustments to be made in terms of assignment football for the option and then getting into the right defensive alignments for all the formations.” Wideout Justin Blackburn will be a receiv-

DCCC Storm blows past Crusaders, 94-75 BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor LEXINGTON — Losers of three straight, the Davidson County Community College men’s basketball team needed to find the win column Wednesday evening to give itself some confidence. They turned in an ugly performance against the Belmont Abbey junior varsity, but did get back on the winning side by a 94-75 score. Rico Geter paced the Storm with 24 points, torching the nets for 19 points behind six 3-pointers. Four other players reached double-figures with A.J. Finney and Bryan Roberts adding 12, apiece, Eric Potts 11 and Robbie Rives 10. Potts also had 14 rebounds. Plagued by injury with starters Philip Williams, Justin Glover and Kimani Hunt sitting out,
DCCC lacked chemistry at times, finding it difficult to get in any kind of rhythm. “I am proud that we won, but if we do not quit turning the ball over, we are not going to reach our goals,” said head coach Matt Ridge. “Our decision making at times is horrific, and I am going to emphasize keep passing the ball.” Geter was one of the few positives, playing at a whole different level than anyone else on the floor.” Davidson led 20-13 eight minutes in, and started to pour it on with the help of Geter. The sophomore nailed a pair of trey’s on consecutive trips, and teammate Demarcus Phifer buried one of his own as the Storm surged ahead 29-13. “During that stretch TIMES PHOTO/ZACH KEPLEY

Smith, Blue Devils run wild over Charlotte BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Duke senior Jon Scheyer said the return of fellow guard Nolan Smith took some pressure off. Try telling that to the Charlotte 49ers. Smith returned with a vengeance after his twogame suspension for playing in an unsanctioned summer event. The junior scored a career-high 24 points and made it
difficult for Charlotte to score, as the Blue Devils rolled to a 101-59 victory in the second round of the NIT Season Tip-Off on Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “My motor was ready,” said Smith, who scored eight of Duke’s first 14 points. “I started the game with a turnover, and I looked over to Coach, and he was like, ‘Calm down.’ “I’ve been sitting on the bench, very anxious
to get out there. Once I calmed down, I was ready to go.” With the victory, the No. 9 Blue Devils (3-0) advanced to the semifinals of the event at Madison Square Garden in New York. Duke will face the winner of Tuesday’s late game between Arizona State and Texas Christian next Wednesday, but before that the Blue Devils will host Radford on Saturday at 3 p.m. Smith made as big an
impact on defense as he did on offense. Smith took Charlotte point guard DiJuan Harris, who ranked fourth in the nation last season with 7.2 assists per game, out of his comfort zone, limiting him to two assists and three points. Boston College transfer Shamari Spears paced the 49ers with 20 points, but none of his teammates managed more than six points as Charlotte shot 33.9 percent.
“I was most impressed with our defense tonight,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Our defense set the tone. We didn’t give up fastbreaks. “Harris is really a good guard, but Lance [Thomas] and Ryan Kelly did a good job of helping Nolan just make them a halfcourt team.” Smith had plenty of help Tuesday, especially from Scheyer and Kyle

DCCC volleyball falls hard at national tourney TIMES STAFF REPORT Davidson County Community College had a tough time at the NJCAA Division III volleyball national championships in Rochester, Minn. last weekend, losing three games. On Friday, the eighth-seeded Storm lost to No. 1 seed and eventual champion Brookhaven (Texas) 3-0. Later in the day they lost 3-1 to Niagara County (N.Y.). On Saturday, Nassau County (N.Y.) took down Davidson 3-0.
Lewis says he is ready to finish out season as Duke QB BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Duke coach David Cutcliffe slowly has accepted the fact that he might have to burn freshman quarterback Sean Schroeder’s redshirt at some point during the final two games of the regular season, but starting quarterback Thad Lewis is determined not to put the Blue Devils in that position. “I only have two games left in my career, so I’m not going to pass up an opportunity to play,” said Lewis, who hopes to play every snap when he heads home to face Miami on Saturday (noon, ESPNU). “I’m not going to sit on the sidelines and watch my team play without going out there to help them. “I’m pretty sure I’ll be all right going into the rest of the games. Obviously, I might have to be.” Lewis made those comments after Saturday’s 49-10 loss to Georgia Tech, a game in which backup quarterback
Sean Renfree tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Lewis didn’t take part in Tuesday’s weekly news conference, instead using the time to rehab his own set of injuries, including a painful thigh bruise that contributed to Renfree being in the game in the first place. Cutcliffe said Tuesday that Schroeder is working as the team’s second-string quarterback, with punter Alex King working as the No. 3. Cutcliffe said if Lewis had to sit out a series or so, he’d go with King, but if Lewis had to come out longer, he’d go with Schroeder. “Sean Schroeder and I have talked about it, and he understands the circumstance,” said Cutcliffe, who has warmed up to the idea after initially saying Saturday that he wouldn’t use Schroeder. “I’ve got two quarterbacks returning to the program. One of them has a limited number of snaps, and one of them has none. The one that has the limited number of snaps is facing surgery, so I can’t assume that everything
is going to go smooth. “So it’s not going to hurt to get my other guy some game reps.” It’s not a question of whether Schroeder is ready to play. When Lewis missed about three-quarters of preseason practice because of an ankle injury and the swine flu, Schroeder got plenty of snaps in practice behind Renfree. “That put him on an accelerated path,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s a bright young man, so he would operate our entire gameplan. He understands pass offense and is extremely mobile. I like his poise. He’s a smooth ball handler. He’s got a little knack back there. He’s a little slick. “He’s got that lefty look about him. He spins the ball well — throws it well — and he can find little pockets and little seams. I get to see him work a lot against our defense, and he frustrates them a lot.” King, a sophomore walk-on from Winston-Salem who saw his first col-
lege action as a punter on Saturday, has played quarterback for the scout team, has worked extensively with the running game and has gone through various drills alongside the other quarterbacks. “Alex is a pretty savvy youngster and a good athlete,” Cutcliffe said. “We do a little period at the end of every practice called an ‘opportunity period’ where we’re working young receivers and all the redshirt players, and he throws in that. “I always try to keep a guy like that around our program, and he’s a good one.” While Cutcliffe believes in Schroeder and King, he would rather keep both on the sidelines. Lewis needs 240 yards to break Ben Bennett’s career yardage record, and the Blue Devils need Lewis if they’re to keep their postseason hopes alive. “He’s really, really tough,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s missed very little time, and he’s a fierce competitor.”

SPORTS STORM From page B1 our guys did a good job of finding him when he was open,” Ridge said. “The key was, they got him the ball, and hopefully we can keep hitting our teammates for 40 minutes.” Crusader guard Anthony George helped Belmont get it under 10 with a take to the basket, and the gap narrowed to five when Francisco Garcia found success from deep. The Davidson lead reached 10 again with Bryan Roberts banking home a shot in the post at the 5:20 mark, setting the stage for one of DCCC’s biggest runs of the game. Outscoring the Crusaders 12-4 over the final
INVADES From page B1 er the Bulldogs must focus on in the passing game, racking up 611 yards thus far and nine touchdowns. For the Bulldogs, the gameplan remains the same on offense. Tailbacks Kesean Green and Quin Riley carry the bulk of the load, and if the run game is plugged up, quarterback Sam Nelson begins the aerial attack. Nelson has become quite accurate, especially when Brandon Lucas is at the other end of his passes. Much like the duo of Chris Brooks and D.J. McLendon last year, the Nelson-Lucas combo can go for big gains, and has been a vital tool in long, third down situations.
minutes of the half, the lead grew to 50-32 at intermission. Derrick Mayo opened the second half for the Storm on a floater that was answered by George, but the Storm were about to go on another big run that would give them complete control. Nine straight points finished off by a Mayo 3pointer from the corner delivered the knockout blow, as DCCC owned a 61-34 lead they would not relinquish. But the 24 turnovers the Storm had in the game did not sit well with Ridge. “Our guys sometimes still think they are back in high school I think,” Ridge said. “They have some bad habits that they
need to break.”. Davidson will travel to Tidewater over the weekend for a pair of games against Tidewater and Dundalk. Notes: DCCC improves to 3-3 ... Glover tore cartilage in his knee and will
have surgery on Friday ... He is expected back in 1-3 weeks depending on the damage. Sports Editor Zach Kepley can be reached at 8883631, or at kepley@tvilletimes.com.

“They have a good chemistry together and have formed into a great duo,” said Brown. “That is facilitated by the fact we run the football, then we are able to get some pass protection. But they have become quite a unique two-some and work well together.” Overholt and some of his other teammates on offense also see time on defense, so that may give a slight advantage to the Bulldogs once the fourth quarter rolls around. If Thomasville can sustain long drives and stay on top of the field position game, they will be in good shape. The winner advances to play the LexingtonStarmount victor in the third round.

Members of the Silver Valley Civitan Club that presented awards at the Special Olympics Games.
Local Civitan clubs volunteer for Special Olympics TIMES STAFF REPORT Members of the South Davidson High School Junior Civitan along with members of the Denton Ladies and Silver Valley Civitan Clubs were volunteers at two recent Special Olympics events. Members of all three clubs volunteered at the Special Olympics Davidson County 34th Winter Games in Lexington on November 13. Nearly 400 county athletes participated in bowling, basketball skills, developmental events and play activities. Dustin Pulliam, assistant location manager of the ABC television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, made an appearance during opening ceremonies of the local games at the J. Smith Young YMCA. Thirty-nine Junior Civitan members handled many duties associated with the local games. Accompanying them was Kevin Firquin. The Denton Ladies Civitan Club organized and presented ribbons at developmental events and play activities. They were President Jean Palmer, Joan Briggs, Helen Cassidy, Angie Floyd, Becky Hoppensteadt, Kitty King and Nancy Wood. Eleven Silver Valley Civitan members handled bowling awards for the county games under the direction of Team Leader Sara Barker. They were President Roger Barker, Charles and Shelby Barker, Chris and Joyce
Hughes, Matthew and Aaron McBride, Harold and Joyce Parrish as well as Gary Arnold. Ronnie Kindley and Anthony Nobles assisted the club. The 2009 Special Olympics North Carolina Fall Tournaments were November 7 & 8 with about 540 athletes from across the state. Thirty volunteers from southern Davidson County worked at soccer competition providing games support and conducting awards ceremonies. Miss Denton, Brooke Hedrick, and Jessica Holt, Little Miss Denton, were honored guests at the Saturday night dinner and dance. They presented competition awards to athletes at cycling on Saturday and at soccer on Sunday. Twenty representatives of the Junior Civitan Club, including current and past members as well as family, made the trip to High Point. They included Jessica Barber, Christina Bumgarner, Emma Hensley, Lottie Hensley, Kelsey Martin, Callie McGee, Landon Pierce, Samuel Rogers, Hunter Sigmon, Larsen Sigmon and Madison Sigmon. Also Chris Smith, Hayley Snider, Maegan Spivey, Brook Strother, Stacey Wagoner, Holly Wall, Co-President Charlie Young and Megan Young. Accompanying the Junior Civitan Club and representing the Denton Ladies Civitan Club was Kelly Young. The SDHS Junior Civitan Club has volun-
teered for nine consecutive years at the SONC Fall Games, five times in Winston-Salem and four years in High Point. Seven volunteers represented the Silver Valley Civitan Club. They included President Roger Barker and Awards Managers Gary Arnold and Dale Hughes. Team Leader Sara Barker recruited fellow volunteers Chris Hughes, Kenneth Gallimore and Leigh Gallimore. Awards were presented to nearly 400 athletes from 41 teams, in eleven divisions, competing in soccer. They came from 25 programs representing the mountains to the coast. Teams traveled from as far as the western county of Transylvania and from New Hanover and Brunswick in the east. The two-day event also included cycling and roller skating competition.

DEVILS From page B1 Singler on the perimeter but also from a couple of post players. Scheyer scored 20 points and avoided even a single turnover for the third consecutive game to start the season, and Singler added 17. The trio totaled 61 points — two more than Charlotte (2-1) managed as a team. In the paint against a fairly tall 49ers team, Miles Plumlee and Brian Zoubek combined for 24 points and 24 rebounds. Plumlee doubled the biggest outputs he had as a freshman, setting new standards with 15 points and 10 rebounds. “I have worked real hard during the summer and every day in practice, so it is starting to pay off,” Plumlee said. “I tried to be aggressive and confident out on the floor.” The Blue Devils were the aggressors from the
opening tip. At the first television timeout, Duke led 17-4 and had seven field goals and one turnover, while Charlotte had seven turnovers and one field goal. Smith already had eight points by then, scoring on two strong drives to the basket and off a pair of offensive rebounds to earn a “Nolan’s winning” chant from the crowd. Charlotte pulled within 24-14, but then Duke really took off. The Devils scored on nine of their next 10 possessions, hitting eight straight shots, to increase move ahead 46-22. The run included four 3-pointers on a night when Duke hit 12 of 21 as a team. At the third television timeout, which came after Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz already had taken three timeouts, Duke had made more field goals (19) than the 49ers had attempted (17). “We played well tonight, on both ends of the floor,” Krzyzewski said. “We beat a good team pretty soundly.”

Students and faculty use the new digital production studio in the college library for many assignments across the curriculum. New in the Davidson County Community College library is a hightech, grant-funded digital production studio, complete with two computers, a scanner, several digital still cameras, video cameras, and professional quality software for video and audio editing. After completing tutorials offered by Amy Baker of the library’s staff, students in Susan Scarboro’s English classes worked in the studio to create web pages for “businesses” they developed for a class project. They first shot video using the studio’s cameras, blue screen and lighting equipment. Then, they edited their projects using video and audio production programs such as InDesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro. “The project required students to work in groups to create business web pages complete with links and an information, product, or services video,” said Scarboro. “Amy Baker provided wonderful, creative coaching for

ing and thinking about how they could include digital production studio-related assignments in their courses, “ said Crystal Baird, Associate Dean of Planning and Library Services. “But by far the best outcome has been the confidence that students now feel,” Baird continued. “At first, many of them were anxious at the prospect of having to create their own group videos. But as they worked together, guided by the reference staff, they began to produce something,
and they were extremely proud of what they were able to accomplish.” In addition to the digital production lab located upstairs in the library, four new Collaboratory Studios will soon be open downstairs and ready for use by students and faculty. Collaboratories use a large, wall-mounted plasma screen to project images. Wireless access laptop computers enable students to work in teams to develop technologically-rich presentations that can be developed and used collaboratively.

Thomasville’s annual Christmas parade will be held Saturday at 3 p.m. in downtown Thomasville.
Christmas parade to be bigger, better than ever TIMES STAFF REPORT
This year, the Thomasville Christmas Parade promises to be one of the best ever, and a wonderful and meaningful way to usher in the season, for so many reasons. Not among the least of which is that any veterans groups rained out for the scheduled parade in Lexington on Nov. 11 have been invited to participate in the Christmas parade on Saturday at 3 p.m. Thomasville’s Mayor Joe Bennett and Grand Marshall Miss Katherine Puryear, Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen, happily relinquished their positions at the front of the parade to ensure that rightful place and honor is given to our veterans, for which they are so very deserving. This year marks the passing of the “parade mantel” from the Jaycees to the Fair Grove Lions Club. Parade Chair and Lion member Luther
Watford said he is grateful for the firm foundation the Jaycees laid to help establish the parade as one that the community can look forward to and be proud of going into the future. “This experience has been highly rewarding and positive for me and I couldn’t be more proud of my community, its leaders and their spirit of cooperation. I have also been so very impressed with the maturity and graciousness of our Grand Marshall Miss Katherine Puryear. She certainly represents the best among our country’s youth,” Watford said. The parade line-up includes over 1,000 participants to date and possibly many more. Among them will be familiar as well as new faces and entries with local representatives and city leaders including Congressman Howard Coble, recently re-elected Mayor Joe Bennett, Davidson County Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley, Davidson Coun-
ty Sheriff David Grice, newly and re-elected Thomasville city council members and at least six of the surrounding area fire departments. Headliners will include Santa (of course), Bill Bledsoe’s Funny Ford and performing high school bands including Thomasville, East Davidson and Ledford. The deadline for entries for any veterans groups is being extended through Thursday evening, Nov. 19, and any marching groups are welcome to join up through the day of the parade. At a point in our country’s history when many are concerned for and burdened by the uncertainty of these times, the parade will serve to demonstrate and reassure us that the American spirit of community, service and sacrifice are still alive and well. This is something to be thankful for and we hope the community comes out to celebrate the season with us and to support and honor our veterans.
