Jobless rate sees slight increase BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Unemployment in North Carolina has taken another turn for the worst. According to the latest statistics released from the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, unemployment in the state rose from 10.8 to 11 percent in October, marking the first increase since May. “The numbers have been pretty steady since February,” ESC Chairman Moses Carey Jr. said.

“We’ve had ups and downs concerning the number of people employed and unemployed, but we haven’t experienced any significant changes. We are working as quickly as possible to implement the new extension of benefits for those individuals who have exhausted or are about to exhaust their benefits.” Overall, employment in the state decreased by 5,643 workers and unemployment increased by 4,537 workers to 496,279. In the past year, unemployment has risen by more than 174,000 peo-

ple with employment falling by 227,898. At this time a year ago, the state unemployment rate was 7 percent. “We are back up,” said ESC spokesperson Larry Parker. “We had a slight drop in employment and a slight increase in unemployment. When there’s one that’s too much, but it was not a drastic number one way or the other.” Hardest hit across the state continues to be manufacturing and construction jobs. Manufacturing

Week’s events ushers in spirit of caring

Community offers donations to Creasey family BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer LEXINGTON — Company after company lined up in front of the Creasey’s new dream home Wednesday and presented the family with gifts that featured a little bit everything.

It was cloudy outside but the spirit of Pilot Club International shone brightly as Pilot Club of Thomasville hosted the NC District Fall Council at Rich Fork Baptist Church on Oct. 10. District members from across the state gathered for a day of training, information, good food and fellowship led by Governor Paula Haste of Rocky Mount.

The geeks had a word for it VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist Like other books Americans have a duty to own — the Bible and “Atlas Shrugged,” for instance — the dictionary does not require an absurd marketing ploy to sell itself. Yet every year, a barrage of cockamamie “word lists” are unveiled by publishers seeking to bring attention to the evolving English language. In the end, these lists establish two facts: 1) We are unable to invent any new words of value. 2) If you put a list together, a columnist probably will write about it. One needn’t be William Safire, though, to be unsettled that the word “philanderer” is a major mystery to so many people. According to a new list by Merriam-Webster, “philanderer” (a national pastime, meaning to be sexually unfaithful to one’s wife) was one of the most searched words of the past year because of the crush of politicians and celebrities busy hiking the Appalachian Trail. The word receiving the highest intensity of searches over the shortest period of time was “admonish” (to express warning or disapproval). It was triggered by a crude outburst of a congressman from South Carolina and the subsequent moralistic “admonishment” of him by Congress. As if we needed any more words to forget, every year the New Oxford American Dictionary injects them into the lexicon. The 2009 Word of the Year, announced this week, is “unfriend.” Unfriend is a verb meaning to remove a virtual acquaintance from your social networking site’s pretend “friends” list. It would appear in a sentence like so: “Oh, yeah, now I remember why I didn’t keep in touch with those bozos from high school. I’m not sure how they found me, but I must remember to unfriend them.”

According to Christine Lindberg, senior lexicographer of Oxford’s United States dictionary program, “unfriend” is an inspired choice because of its “currency and potential longevity.” Considering the previous champions have included words I needed to look up, such as “hypermiling” (driving using techniques that are environmentally friendly) and “locavore” (eating food produced with 16th-century methods in an effort to be environmentally friendly) — I sense a theme — this is wishful thinking. Another new word of equivalent non-value is “freemium.” It refers to a business model that offers free services in an attempt to lure paying consumers — or what we in the newspaper business refer to as “bleeding dry.” Others fresh words no respectable citizen would dare use are “funemployed” (taking advantage of unemployment to pursue fun) and the novelty word “deleb” (because “dead celebrity” just has too many syllables to deal with). There is, admittedly, one trend that could prove to be a bright spot. The newly minted “teabagger” gives us hope that crude sexual terms will be applied regularly to politics, where they can do the most good. Yet like a writer on deadline straining to find fodder for a column, most of these words are too contrived and trendy to be especially helpful. What are we really saying? For that, thankfully, The Global Language Monitor has come up with a list. It utilizes a mathematical formula to track the frequency of words and phrases in print and electronic media. It found the most used terms were “global warming,” “9/11,” “bailout,” “ground zero,” “derivative,” “surge,” “tsunami” and others like them. Those words are downers, but the English language deserves better than “sexting,” “intexticated” and “hashtag.” At least, I hope so.

At the time of his retirement, Tim will have served the City and its citizens as a member of the department for 29 years and 4 months. I had the pleasure of working with Tim for about 25 of those years. He is a fine man and will be missed at the TPD. ••• Gayle and I attended the Veterans Day celebration at Thomasville Medical Center on Nov. 11. We were impressed by the large crowd in attendance and the spirit of American pride. Many veterans were there, some dressed in their military uniforms. Dr. and Mrs. Sam (Evelyn) Harris, whose son Josh paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in 2008, were in attendance. Mrs. Harris spoke on the “Price of Peace.” Ret. 1st Sgt. Mike Floyd spoke of his military experience in two tours in Iraq. Darrell Austin, a hospital employee, sang Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless

the USA.” After his song many tears were evident in the eyes of those present. This was a powerful service recognizing those who served and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Make plans to attend next November. ••• A “Letter to the Editor” appeared this week in an area newspaper chastising the State of North Carolina for naming the stretch of Interstate 85 near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial after a well known race team owner rather than naming it the “Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway” in memory of those who gave their lives in that war. The writer went on to say, “This needs to be corrected. Travelers through North Carolina should not get the message that we are putting NASCAR before our veterans who served in Vietnam.” I’ll add an Amen to that! ••• Litter here, litter there, litter litter everywhere! It’s no secret how I feel about litter. Cups, cans, paper, “fast food restaurant” food wrappers and most of all, cigarette butts. Civic responsibility is everyone’s job. From where I live, if I am going to downtown Thomasville or the eastern part of town, I travel up I-85 from Exit 102 to Exit 103. When I am driving down the Exit 103 ramp to get to Randolph Street, I notice hundreds of cigarette butts on the left edge of the road that have been tossed out by smokers. I am sure there are butts on the right side also. I wonder if the Department of Transportation or City of Thomasville has a “gas operated” vacuum cleaner that would suck those cigarette butts up. If not, add that to your Christmas wish list Department of Transportation and City officials. It’s just plain ugly! I have thought about getting a reflective vest and raking the butts into a bucket

and properly disposing of them, but that is slightly dangerous and I’m not ready for Gayle to become a widow! A positive enforcement campaign of the “Litter Laws” by Thomasville Police, Davidson County Sheriff ’s Department and the Highway Patrol as well and a “litter prevention and eradication” education campaign by the City Beautification folks might help eradicate some of the litter problem too. ••• An old legend tells of two angels that came into our world to collect prayers of mankind. The first angel returned loaded with petitions and complaints. The second angel carried in his basket a few expressions of thanks and gratitude. This illustrates the tendency prevailing in our world today. People are more inclined to complain that to rejoice and give thanks! (Forgive me Lord for complaining about litter in the previous paragraph.) I hope we all have good reasons to rejoice this Thanksgiving season. Of course we should all give thanks every day of our lives. Let’s give thanks for our food and remember the hungry. Let us give thanks for our health and remember the sick. Let us give thanks for our friends, they know much about us, but love us just the same. Let us give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved. Let us give thanks for the beauty of the earth, the skies, the lakes, trees and flowers. Let us be thankful for our homes, they are a place of shelter, comfort and a place of refuge. Let us be thankful for our families in that we have someone to love and someone to return that love. May each of you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist I talked with several of my students this week about a variety of issues they were dealing with, both inside the classroom and on the job. I took the time to listen and offer some guidance. I tried, in each situation, to offer some words of encouragement. Sometimes when we are going through something we feel like we are the only ones facing problems. It’s good to know that others have been down similar roads. I was finishing up for the day when there was a surprise knock on my door. It was a former student who stopped by to say hi. He told about what he has been doing since he graduated from high school. I always thought this individual was a positive person and one who encouraged others. That day, I had the high honor of encouraging him as he considered various career options and direction for his life. I can see so much opportunity sitting right in front of him and wanted to make sure

he reached for the stars. I think people often believe that encouraging others is only for those who have the gift of encouragement. I believe that each one of us has the ability to lift others up through the power of our words. We can make people feel good about themselves or we can crush their hopes and dreams. Recently, I have been reading the book of Acts in my devotional time. The latter portion of the book focuses on Paul’s travels. When Paul takes his second trip to deliver the letter from the council at Jerusalem to the churches, it says over-and-over again that Paul encouraged the believers and strengthened their faith. In other places it says that he spoke words of encouragement to the churches. The Bible doesn’t say that Paul had the spiritual gift of encouragement; it just tells us that he spent time encouraging the believers to press on in their faith. Paul’s true gift was in teaching about faith and church doctrine, but he also invested himself in the people through the power of encouraging words. Each one of us faces difficult times in our lives and we need other people to come along beside us to encourage us. Sometimes we just need to know that someone else believes in us and somehow we can find the inner strength to carry on. If we all

need that from other people, doesn’t it seem logical that we should give that away when we come across others who are struggling? Each one of us knows people who are going through difficult times. There are so many people who are out of work who could use some encouragement. When bill collectors are breathing down your neck, it’s comforting to know that someone cares about your situation. It would be really great if God lead you to bless those individuals or families. There are so many things we can do to encourage people in these circumstances. Maybe you know someone who is facing health issues. When someone is sick or hurting it can fill the brain with a dark cloud of discouragement. If you would take just one moment out of your busy day you might be able to help blow those dark clouds away and help bring rays of sunshine and hope to a weary soul. There are so many things that can bring discouragement even to those who are normally upbeat. Sometimes all that is needed is someone who will stop long enough to listen and show they care. I believe we each have the power to alter another person’s day for good through encouraging words. I also believe that there is enormous power released when we pray

SOMETHING

with people who are going through difficult times. I was walking through the grocery store the other day and came upon two women praying. Isn’t that exactly the way it should be, meeting people at their point of need? I want to encourage you to see people differently and see the great opportunity you have been given to encourage others. Our words can make or break another person’s day. The fact that we notice another person’s pain and take time to show we care can often make the biggest difference of all. The next time you hear someone say, “pray for me,” stop what you are doing and pray for them right then and there. Imagine how different life would be if we all spent time encouraging and praying for each other. Doug Creamer teaches Marketing at East Davidson High School.

Nelson said that auctioneer Mark Conner, a native of Thomasville, entertains the crowd and helps draw

on top of the stress of coordinating the many different aspects of the event. Hedrick Creative Builders had to construct a house in the shortest time they have ever attempted, but they did it. We all did it, and it was worth the effort. For one week, the Davidson County community came together to help one family a whole lot. Imagine, then, how the county would change if we helped a lot of families even a little. Between 1,200 and 1,500 volunteers built a twostory home in five days. How many houses could be repaired in a year? Dozens of businesses and organizations provided food, drinks, transportation and even massages for the workers. How many people in need could be fed, clothed, transported or served every week? More than 100 sponsors helped make the Creaseys’ house a home and offered them lifechanging gifts. How much of a difference would it make if just one plumber donated his services, or one gardener offered to take care of her neighbor’s yard? With unemployment on the rise and an increasing number of people seeking assistance, there is plenty of need in Davidson County. Many people already are giving and serving with all they have, but others of us know we could do more. Several opportunities to give are fast approaching. Cooperative Community Ministry’s Adopt a Child for Christmas program lets groups and individuals “adopt” children whose families are in need and give them toys, clothes and food. Fairgrove Family Resource Center runs a

William Creasey lit up when C.J. Sink from Sink Farm Equipment pulled around on a new lawnmower for a husband who has been cutting his grass with a push mower that needed nearly as much energy to start as it did to operate. “We’ve been blessed,” said Sink. “We’re thankful that you blessed this community and have done a lot for it as a teacher and what you do. You can’t have a new house without a new lawnmower.” There wasn’t a lot left to chance when it came to the type of donations the Creasey’s received. Lowe’s Food gave a oneyear supply of food at any location, Cricket Communications donated three phones with unlimited service for one year, Wilco Hess offered a year supply of gas, and Two Men and a Truck contributed free storage for as long as they need it.

could tell me why they deserved this gift, and others who don’t know the family but felt moved to help them. I also enjoyed seeing the effort that goes into filming an episode of the TV show. Certain scenes were set up and shot several times from different angles. In take after take, as lead designer Ty Pennington pumped up the crowd, his energy never wavered. The designers were full of puns about Tricia’s job as a teacher, declaring “This gets an F” before knocking a chimney down. It wasn’t always a bright, uplifting experience for those of us in the media. We stood for hours in the cold rain and wind, first watching nothing happen, then watching something happen repeatedly. Communication fell apart at times, making it difficult to know where we were supposed to be and when, or how we were supposed to get there. Everything seemed to be breaking news as we found out last-minute details of events and hurried to cover them. But none of that mattered once we saw the Creaseys’ faces when they laid eyes on their dream home, and heard the roar of the crowd as they celebrated their accomplishment. Everyone faced some difficulty during that week. Hundreds of volunteers stood in the rain and wind even longer than we did, ready to do whatever needed to be done to help their neighbors. Project managers had to deal with unexpected weather and equipment failure,

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Without question, Thomasville head coach Allen Brown is one of the finest in the state at the high school level, making the right adjustments and calling the right plays. But when his team trailed by three in overtime Friday night in the NCHSAA 2-A state playoffs, Brown he surprisingly let his kids make the call on a game-deciding fourth-and-two at the two. Arranged by two senior leaders, the Bulldogs went for it, as quarterback Sam Nelson hit Brandon Lucas on a quick slant, setting off a jubilant celebration while Polk County fell to the turf in a 13-10 defeat, and the Bulldogs escaped to the third round. “Coach asked Tariq Camp if he wanted to go for it, and then Camp asked me what I wanted to do,” said Lucas. “I told Camp we are going to go for it, and to give me the quick slant. We have went over that play probably over 1,000 times in practice, and we made it happen. I would have preferred a blowout, but it is a win and I will take it.” Brown admitted he was not sure what to do in the situation, and was more than happy to let his players decide in the end.

Season’s cheer for successful 2009 It hardly seems possible that the 2009 NASCAR season is so close to being neatly wrapped, beribboned and placed carefully into racing’s record books. And while late November may not be the traditionally-accepted time for reflection — Dec. 31 lays claim to that honor — sometimes we are controlled by our circumstances, rather than the other way around. When something significant reaches its end, you just can’t help but think about its beginning. Some people are so anxious to reach their destination that they fail to appreciate the trip. This isn’t true only of actual travelers. We do it all the time, in so many ways. An adolescent wants to be 16 and get that first driver’s license. When the work day begins, we dream of its end, watching the clock until we can finally go home. And on the eve of any new season in sports, looking at all those hopeful faces and attending all those optimistic press conferences, we wonder who will remain

Backyard deer hunting OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist Sitting in a deer stand this week brought back a lot of memories. I did a lot of deer hunting as a young man and enjoyed seeing the squirrels, birds, chipmunks, and the occasional bonus critter that provide

entertainment. I always had cold feet but last week my feet were warm as toast. While that could possibly be attributed to global warming, I think time is the big factor in me getting cold feet since most deer hunts involve arriving to the stand really early to allow everything else to settle down before shooting time. This morning, my feet were warm and stayed that way until I came off the stand at about 9:30. I’ve always written that the first and last 30 minutes of legal shooting time are the best times to hunt. On this particular morning, the first 30 minutes of shooting time were involved in my morning cup of

coffee and getting my daily dose of oatmeal (in the form of a Little Debbie oatmeal cookie) at the bar in the kitchen. I then made the leisurely stroll across the yard and through a small patch of woods to my deer stand. I was in no hurry since I normally saw the deer slipping through the woods out of the kitchen window between 8 and 8:30 every morning. From my stand, I could see the lights of the house in the increasing light as the sun splashed a golden hue on the almost bare treetops. If you’re wondering what kind of deer hunt this was, it was the exact hunt described in Hovey Smith’s recent book,

East Davidson will host a “Meet the Eagles” night today at 6 p.m. Both junior varsity and varsity basketball teams will be announced and will have scrimmages. Fans can be admitted for free bringing canned food items, or can pay $2. Proceeds from the event will go to Fair Grove Resource Center.

YMCA registration The Tom A. Finch YMCA will be holding registration for youth basketball leagues through today. Costs are $18 for members and $65 for nonmembers. Leagues are available for children ages 5-15. Everyone plays at least one half each game. Team practices will begin the week of Nov. 30 for all teams.

side of our yard just a few feet into the woods. Before you protest that I’m hardly adhering to the rules of fair chase in my little hunting adventure, I’ll assure you there was no baiting involved, and we’re hunting an established route the deer often take when traveling though our area. This is the same technique we would use on a deer lease two hours away. Our target deer is a mature doe, something we have too many of in our area. In fact, the whole state of North Carolina has too many doe deer, and it’s reflected in the limit of six deer per season only two of which can have antlers. While there are consid-

erations to this kind of hunting that differ from normal hunting, many traditional methods apply. As with deer hunting anywhere, scouting increases your chances. I’ll admit it’s just a little easier to scout when you can casually walk into the woods after cutting the grass to look for buck rubs. And yes, I found a buck rub within 50 feet of the edge of the yard. We’ve been watching the deer for years so we know that they normally travel past us well after daylight. We did a serious survey of safe shooting directions before placing our stands and cut shooting lanes

Backyard Deer Hunting. Smith, noting economic issues, heavy deer populations of deer in high density rural areas and the number of people with time on their hands due to reduced employment, penned the book in time for the 2009 hunting season. A fellow member of the Southeast Outdoor Press Association, Smith noticed the factors and decided it was time to write a book on the concept of hunting very close to home. The book covers methods, safety issues, and how to butcher and cook the venison. My wife, Cherie, and I decided last week to experiment with the concept. Cherie was in her stand on the other

SPORTS â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hoppers, Marlins to play exhibition TIMES STAFF REPORT The Grasshoppers are excited to announce the Florida Marlins will kick off the 2010 Hoppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fun Season with an exhibition game versus the Greensboro Grasshoppers. The exhibition game will be played Saturday,

GRADE From page B1 percent for all Division I athletes who enrolled between 1999 and 2002 and were allowed up to six years to graduate. Duke posted a 97 over all sports for the period, tops in the ACC, and in football outranked all Bowl Subdivision programs with a 96. UNC came in with an overall score of 87 (fourth in the ACC), while N.C. State was last in the conference and below the national average with a 64. NCCU, which is transitioning to Division I but still counts as a Division II school in the statistics released Wednesday, exceeded the national average Academic Success Rate (ASR) for the four-year cohort in football and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball but fell well short in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball. The NCCU football program recorded an ASR (a measure similar to GSR) of 66, 13 points above the national average, while womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball exceeded the national average by two points with a 77. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball, however, recorded a 17, similar to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20. The national average is 58.

April 3, with the first pitch scheduled for 3 p.m., gates opening at 1. This is the second big splash from the Marlins; having also played an exhibition game as a start to the 2005 Inaugural Season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to be able to kick off another exciting season with the Marlins returning to

Greensboro,â&#x20AC;? said Donald Moore, Grasshoppers President and General Manager. Tickets for the exhibition game will go on sale Feb. 27 in conjunction with the Grasshoppers annual Tickets On Sale Day. The ticket price will be $10 for the seating bowl and $8 for lawn.

NCCU is working on the issue, having hired more academic support staff while trying to figure out a way to overcome the tendency of transfers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; traditionally a key element in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruiting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to not perform as well academically as non-transfers. The NCAA believes that both the GSR and ASR are better gauges of academic performance than the federal rate. The federal rate, unlike GSR and ASR, counts students who transfer out of a school as non-graduates, regardless of whether they left in good academic standing or went on to graduate from another institution. The North Carolina menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball program provides a perfect example. UNC had a GSR of 75, a figure that gives credit to the program for players who left school early in good academic standing. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fed rate was 46 thanks in large part to early departures. The fed rates did, however, produce some good news for college athletics: For the second consecutive year, Division I athletes over a four-year period collectively had a federal graduation rate of 64, two percentage points higher than the

general student body. There was other good news to be found for area schools: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All 26 of Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports teams earned a GSR of at least 92, with 15 programs recording a perfect 100. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six of UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams achieved a 100. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; N.C. State had four teams score 100. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NCCU got ASRs of 100 for both its menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track teams as well as its softball team. Duke (92) and UNC (75) exceeded the GSR national average of 64 for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball, while N.C. State scored a 45. Duke (96) and UNC (80) also were above the average of 67 in football, while N.C. State scored a 57. Even so, N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more recent performance in the classroom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Academic Progress Rate data for 2004-08 released in May â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showed menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball performing above the national average and football just below the national average, leaving both programs in no danger of NCAA sanctions for poor performance. N.C. Central is not subject to penalties because it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in Division I long enough to record representative Academic Progress Rate data.

SPORTS From page B1 I know; some things I can only guess — in an educated way, I hope. But next up will be a look-ahead at the season-ending Champion’s Week festivities in Las Vegas, so if I’m going to wax nostalgic, this is my only shot to take an official look at NASCAR ‘09. It has been one for the record books, in the most literal way imaginable. Let’s start with the trucks. If there was some way to put America in a headlock and make the entire country watch a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from start to finish — just one — we might just have a new sports phenomenon on our hands. If the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is like boxing — the sport of kings — then the Truck Series is like UFC, bare-knuckled and no-holds-barred. With a Chevrolet for a glass slipper, Cinderella Man emerged once again as the belle of the ball this year, as 51-year-old Ron Hornaday claimed his fourth Truck Series title, the only driver in history to do so. Here’s a popular riddle from 2009. Question: “Do you think Kyle Busch will win on Saturday?” Answer: “Is he in the race?”

BULLDOGS From page B1

“The kids wanted to go for it, and Lucas talked me into it,” said Brown with a smile. “Sometimes the warrior that is in the ring really knows more than the guy standing outside watching.” The play almost did not happen, as Nelson fumbled the snap on third down from the two, but THS was able to get it back for one final play. Polk had taken a 10-7 lead after Jacob Christiansen connected on a 30-yard field goal. The game actually almost did not need the extra session, as elusive Wolverine quarterback Andre Overholt danced down the field with 13.3 seconds left from his own 30 to the Thomasville 25. A timing issue should have ended regulation, but time was put back on the clock and Polk had a shot at a long field goal. It missed wide left, continuing the game and Thomasville’s title hopes. Polk scored first on the night as Overholt used his deceptive speed and slick moves for a big run. He shot through a seam and jaunted 62 yards to the end zone, stunning the THS faithful as the Wolverines went up 7-0 with 2:33 left in the first quarter. In no-mans land at the Thomasville 33 in the second quarter, Polk decided to go for it on fourth down. James Boyd let them know it was a bad idea, as he broke through the line and sacked Overholt at the 44, turning the ball back over to THS on downs. With no fluidity on offense and killing itself time and time again, Thomasville finally found some success on the heels of the turnover. Nelson hit Brandon Lucas for a big pass play down to the Polk 19 on an out pattern, putting THS in business just inside

Always-controversial Kyle only has to grid his car in Homestead, from any position, to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series title. Then he can park his No. 18 Toyota and take the rest of the day off. Fat chance. With eight wins so far this season, the driver who considers second place a really disappointing day — and he’s been disappointed 11 times this season, to date — will give what he always gives on the track; his best effort. This relentless will to win is what makes bad boy Kyle so good for NASCAR. On the game board of the Cup Series, it’s difficult to even choose a starting point. Of all the available categories, let’s go with “Things That Really Made an Impact on Racing” for all the money. 1. Jimmie Johnson. 2. A glimpse of our future, as both Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski posted their first career Cup wins. 3. A glimpse of our past, as Bill France Sr., Bill France Jr., Richard Petty, Junior Johnson and Dale Earnhardt were announced as the inaugural class of NASCAR’s Hall of Fame. 4. Another glimpse of our future, as Keselowski and Denny Hamlin … well, let’s just say they don’t seem to get along. A feud; a budding rivalry. Cool.

5. Did we mention Jimmie Johnson? (Sorry, but he was not only good in 2009, I’m pretty sure when Sunday evening rolls around, he will be quadruply good. That’s not even a word, but oh well.) There are so many more. NASCAR’s Drive For Diversity did more than soar in 2009; thanks to Juan Pablo Montoya, it went all Hitchcock on us and beat detractors in the face with its strong wings. What new team owner Tony Stewart has accomplished this year has been nothing less than jaw dropping. And Jeff Gordon doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon, thank goodness. From Matt Kenseth’s Daytona 500 win to Mark Martin’s amazing season-long battle for the championship, NASCAR has given us a very good year. Yes, there have been some issues, but dealing with a few debits along the way only serves to make the credits seem that much more valuable. If you count all your assets, and you’re honest about it, you always show a profit. By that measure, regardless of the final outcome, the 2009 NASCAR season has been a most successful year.

the red zone. Two runs netted just one yard, so the Bulldogs decided to try its luck through the air again. Nelson dropped back in the pocket and looked across the middle, where Kenneth Mitchell was standing near the one. The southpaw fired it to him right between the numbers in the middle of two defenders, and Mitchell fell forward into the end zone with 52.8 seconds left in the first half. Lawson Hodges added the extra point to tie the score at 7-7. The second half saw

more struggles from each side, as positive plays were brought back because of penalties and both lines were stingy in the trenches. Polk’s defensive line allowed the THS offense absolutely nothing for much of the night. “We got beat up on the front,” said Brown. “They are very good on defense, and it was just a real hard game.” Thomasville will entertain Lexington, who defeated Starmount 2221, next week at Cushwa Stadium.

Dolphins trip up Panthers, 24-17 BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer CHARLOTTE — Two teams came into Thursday night’s game at Bank of America Stadium with a chance to get even on the season and make a push to the playoffs. The winner between the Carolina Panthers and the Miami Dolphins could keep focused on the season while the loser would start looking ahead to next year. Led by a throwback performance from a former rushing champ, the Dolphins outlasted the Panthers, 24-17, leaving Carolina at 4-6 on the year and asking how such a golden opportunity to change its season slipped away. “Our guys fought hard,” Panthers coach John Fox said. “The reality is we’re 4-6. We’ve still got a lot of football left. I’m disappointed for them. You have to keep battling. We’ve been here before. There is a lot of fight in that room. They’ll continue to work.” Ricky Williams, filling in for injured running back Ronnie Brown, looked a lot like the man that led the NFL in rushing in 2002, scoring three

I think in the past we have prided ourselves on finishing games, and we did a good job tonight.” Despite out-gaining the Dolphins (5-5) in total offense and first downs, the Panthers failed to convert key scoring chances in the red zone. Three trips inside Miami’s 20-yard line resulted in just two field goals and another Jake Delhomme intercep-

DEER From page B2 in the safe directions. It’s just as important to have a safe, solid, stand and observe tree stand safety rules, too. Many more hunters are killed in tree stand accidents every year than in firearms accidents. Tree stands can be dangerous even if they’re just outside the yard. Our stands are the ladder type (made of treated two by fours at a material cost of about $30) that lean against the tree. They are fastened to the tree by a 3/8 lag bolt I can remove at the end of the season. Elevated stands should always be used in high population areas since they allow the hunter to shoot down into the ground as a backstop. While you might be able to see deer from your house, shooting from the house isn’t a good idea since the shooting position is too low for a safe shot in almost all cases. I personally would consider it unsporting. It’s also as important to have an adequate rifle that’s properly sighted in. There’s simply no

tion. With a brutal schedule to end the season, Carolina has its work cut out if the Panthers are to reach the playoffs. “We couldn’t get much going,” Delhomme said. “We knew that going into the game that it was going to be one of these types of games, a big strong physical team like they are, rotating a lot of guys in there. We would kind of move it a little bit then we’d stall. We just couldn’t get much happening. A couple of times we’d get inside the ten in the red area and there

wasn’t a whole lot there. We battled but it wasn’t good enough.” Carolina struck first on a Jon Kasay field goal, but Miami answered with consecutive touchdowns from Williams, who scored on a 14-yard reception and a 1-yard run. DeAngelo Williams led the Panthers with 122 yards rushing, but was held out of the end zone until he ran in the 2-point conversion that pulled Carolina within three. The Panthers travel to New York to play the Jets next week.

excuse for poor shooting during deer season when you have ample opportunity to sharpen your skills during the other 10 1/2 months of the year. Safe shooting in more highly populated areas becomes even more of an issue. You simply have to set determined shooting directions before the deer approaches the stand and stay with them. No deer is worth taking a chance. Cherie and I agreed when we decided to hunt close to home that only mature doe’s, poor specimens of bucks, or exceptional trophy bucks were fair game. As mentioned earlier, we have too many doe’s in the area, deer with irregular racks should be culled to improve the stocks, and immature bucks should be left to grow into better deer. We see our little project as deer management with the chance of putting some venison in the freezer. I saw four does last week, one was a candidate for the freezer but she turned and went into the thicket before she got into a safe shooting position. The consolation was watching the squirrels,

woodpeckers, hawks, and other birds, and having warm feet. Knowing the comfort of the house and a great breakfast with Cherie about what we saw waited for me when I came down off the stand didn’t hurt, either. I knew Cherie was enjoying our little hunts when I called her yesterday to tell her I’d seen a couple of doe’s cross the driveway. Her response was, “Here I am shopping when I should be sitting in my deer stand.”

HOLIDAY EVENTS Lexington schedules holiday events TIMES STAFF REPORT

LEXINGTON — Uptown Lexington, Inc. and the merchants of uptown invite residents to come celebrate the arrival of the holiday season during “Christmas in Lexington.” The weekendlong event includes the Second annual Lighting of the Trees on Saturday evening followed by the 16th annual Christmas Open House on Sunday. NewBridge Bank will welcome strollers to their lobby today to await the start of the annual walk to individually light each of the 40 street trees along Main Street. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., strollers accompanied by a horse drawn carriage with musicians will leave the NewBridge lobby for the approximately 14 block walk that takes strollers first down South Main Street loops at 3rd Avenue and continues to 3rd Street where they will cross to return down North Main to Center Street. Strollers can join the walk at any point along the route. After the lighting, NewBridge employees will treat strollers with hot beverages and cookies. “There is something about glittering lights in a downtown business district that signals the start of the holiday season,” said Newell Clark, President of the Uptown Lexington, Inc. Board of Directors. The 16th annual Uptown Lexington Christmas Open House will be held on Sunday. From 1-5 p.m., 22 Uptown Lexington Merchant Partners will welcome the public with refreshments and stores filled with merchandise for the holiday season. These Partnering Uptown Lexington merchants and Uptown Lexington corporate sponsors are also hosts for many of the activities which occur during Christmas Open House. The afternoon’s festivities begin with the Lexington arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by horse drawn carriage. At 1:15 p.m. the carriage will take Santa and Mrs. Claus to the square where children can have their picture taken with Santa. Pictures will be taken from 1:30 – 5 p.m. and are $5 each.

Silver Valley Civitan Project Santa receives contribution TIMES STAFF REPORT

John Bender Worship Center of High Point has donated $1,000 to the 2009 Silver Valley Civitan Project Santa Claus. The unsolicited contribution is greatly appreciated as need is anticipated to be higher than ever this year. The club has a campaign goal of $3,300 with a stretch goal of $4,000. The list team will meet November 16 and the visitation team will begin work soon after. About 80 families were contacted last year to determine if they had needs. The wrapping of around 200 gift boxes will begin soon at Project Santa Headquarters. Hitch Crafters, previously Cid Hosiery, will serve as Santa Central for a fourth consecutive year. Approximately 310 local residents received presents in 2008 including families in need, people with disabilities and seniors. Twenty-nine families received food, which accounted for about half of the value of all gifts distributed. Clothing and toys were provided to 89 children in 37 families. The project usually re-

quires approximately 350 to 400 volunteer hours in compiling lists, visiting, gathering, shopping and delivering. Kris Kringle will make his Silver Valley rounds on Christmas Eve beginning around 8 a.m. The 2008 edition of Project Santa was honored by North Carolina District West Civitan as the Most Outstanding Service Project marking six times the club has earned the honor. Civitan International has recognized Project Santa with fifteen

awards. There are nearly 900 Civitan clubs in 30 nations. The Santa Brigade Commanders, Harold Parrish and Chris Hughes, are assisted by five team leaders. They are Joyce Parrish, list; Joyce Hughes, clothing & toys; Tony Pope, visitation; John Hughes, food & fruit; and Dale L. Hughes, people with disabilities. People may contact Harold Parrish at 472-2379 or mail cash contributions to 12986 Old Highway 64, Lexington NC 27292.
