Stores, residents prepare for Black Friday BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

This Friday, shoppers all over the city, county and nation are expected to fill retail stores, taking advantage of the retailers’ major sales as they get started on their Christmas shopping. Black Friday is typically the biggest single shopping day of the year, but in a recession, it may be harder for some to justify purchasing much — even at heavily discounted prices.

Thomasville resident Angela Wood said that she wants to take advantage of the Black Friday sales, but she may not have the money to shop. “It’s been really tough, especially with my husband being the only one working, and he has to work according to the weather,” Wood said. “I’m unemployed right now, unfortunately. I’ve been looking for a job, but it’s hard, because in our financial situation, we don’t have a computer. Everybody wants to do everything online, and we’re not there yet.”

Wood said that she has gone shopping on Black Friday before and doesn’t like the crowds, but she goes to buy items while they are on sale. “I hate crowds, but I know I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do sometimes,” she said. Carol Foley, also of Thomasville, said that fighting the holiday crowd has become too much for her. “It ain’t worth it,” Foley said. “I just do my shopping before then, and after everybody else calms down.”

Parade kicks off holiday season

She said she went shopping on Black Friday once in Lexington and once in Thomasville, and then she decided she was done with that chaotic experience. Not everyone minds the crowds and the excitement, though. Thomasville resident Craig McDaniel said that he would love to shop on Black Friday, but he won’t be able to this year. “I would go if I didn’t have to work,” said McDaniels, an airplane mechanic

Ministry offers free Thanksgiving dinner BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

His Laboring Few Ministries is preparing for its annual Thanksgiving dinner, which serves anyone who needs a hot meal this Thursday. Preacher Steve, with His Laboring Few, said that people can sit and eat the free meal at Carter Brothers Barbecue, 2305 North Main St. in High Point, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday. They also can pick up meals to go.

In addition, His Laboring Few delivers plates to shut-ins and the elderly who can’t come get a meal. “It’s something that we started in 1993 to help people who may not have the opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal, and who may be alone,” Steve said. “We get to minister with them, talk with them, pray with them and just spend time with them.” It has since expanded into a partnership with Carter Brothers, which opened its doors to the

ministry eight years ago and donates some of the food. The dinner will be a traditional Thanksgiving meal that includes turkey, yams, green beans, dressing, gravy and dessert. Steve said that there is typically enough food on each plate to feed two people. “It’s just an opportunity to help in the community, draw people together, and share Thanksgiving and truly be thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ, first of all, and then

Steve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what Thanksgiving is about.â&#x20AC;? Steve estimated that between 3,500 and 3,800 people were served at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving dinner. He expects that they will serve more than 4,000 this year. Nearly 400 volunteers help make the dinner happen, either by delivering meals or helping in the kitchen. Volunteers began cooking 400 turkeys last week, which were then cut into servings and frozen. They will fix all of the side dishes Wednesday night, mix

their education systems. Perdue spoke of this at the Sheraton to attendees of the annual conference of the N.C. School Boards Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very aggressively pursuing the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Race to the Topâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grant,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may or may not get it, but in my mind, North Carolina will be chosen.

They try to be done by 1 p.m., Steve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thankful for all the volunteers that have helped over the years and will help this year,â&#x20AC;? Steve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to being able to help a lot of people this year.â&#x20AC;?

She says that the store typically gets a boost in sales the weekend after Thanksgiving, but those arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the days she expects to be busiest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the jewelry business, the last two weeks before Christmas tell the tale,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot

Our freedom depends on the troops around the world. Let them hear from you in love and appreciation. Pray for them, our country, our government and military leaders. Let this traditional day be a special day in giving and sharing as we show our sincere gratitude. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands, serve the Lord with gladness. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Psalm 100 verses 1 and 2.

A Thanksgiving gift VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist

Here is a Thanksgiving present I stole a few years ago from a wonderful North Carolina book--a few old quotes about North Carolina that are worth noting today. “North Carolina is, I believe, the poorest state in the Union: the part of it though which we traveled should seem to indicate as much... The few detached houses on the road were mean and beggarly in their appearance, and the people whom we saw when the coach stopped had a squalid, and at the same time fierce air, which at once bore witness to the unfortunate influences of their existence.” From the journal of Frances Anne Kemble, traveling through the state in 1838. As bad as things sometimes seem today, we’ve come a long way in the last 180 years. “A short time of conflict & the day is ours — ours for Freedom, for Right, for Self Government! They can never overcome, never conquer us, for we fight for our Birthright — Freedom!” An entry dated April 24, 1861, from the diary of Catherine Ann Devereaux Edmondston of Halifax County. Are we always so confident of quick victory at the beginning of a “just war?” “Between the lines [the South Carolina and Virginia borders] ... was left an area which for years on end rejoiced in the generalization that it was a vale of humility between two mountains of conceit. The generalization is useful, as most generalizations are. A modicum of truth lies in it, a persisting modicum, borne out in the report of a modern North Carolinian that among his State’s neighbors there were only two classes of people, those who never had worn shoes and those who made you feel that you never had ... [I]n a North Carolina [that is] recently more proud than humble, [there is] a continuing conviction that one man is as good as another and that if you don’t believe it he’ll show you he’s a damn

sight better....” Jonathan Daniels, writing in the 1930’s. “... Daniel Boone ... grew to manhood in the Yadkin River Valley near Statesville. He spent nearly half of his life here, and in fact did not settle west of the mountains until he was 41.” Joe Knox, in the Greensboro Daily News in 1976. “This, Mr. Chairman, is perhaps the negro’s temporary farewell to the American Congress; but let me say, Phoenix-like, he will rise up some day and come again. These parting words are in behalf of an outraged, heartbroken, bruised, and bleeding, but God-fearing people, faithful, industrious, loyal people — rising people, full of potential force.” George White, North Carolina’s last black Congressman, in 1901, giving his farewell speech to Congress, after being defeated in a re-election bid. “I am, by nature, very conservative, but I am firm in my convictions... I want to blaze a trail for other women. I know that years from now there will be many other women in politics, but you have to start a thing.” Lillian Exum Clement of Asheville, in 1920 or 1921, after becoming the first women to be elected to the North Carolina General Assembly. “I shall continue to stand against wastefulness and extravagance in any activity. But there is a point, even in economy, beyond which self-respecting government cannot go. For to do so means not merely an abdication of its function but social bankruptcy.” Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, in 1933, justifying a new tax to support education. What would he advise today? Want more? I stole all these quotes from a book that the UNC Press published a few years ago. “Discovering North Carolina: A Tar Heel Reader” is edited by Jack Claiborne and William Price. Charles Kuralt said about it, “The most interesting book about North Carolina I’ve ever read.” If you’ve read the column this far, you’ll want to read this book too.

Holder’s true motive VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist Attorney General Eric Holder adopted a tough guy pose when he announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others will be tried in federal court for the most heinous terror attack on Americans in history. “After eight years of delay,” he intoned, “those allegedly responsible for the attacks of September 11 will finally face justice. It is past time to finally act.” Where to begin? The claim that the Bush administration was somehow dilatory sets a new standard for gall, particularly coming from Eric Holder. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out, “The principal reason there were so few military trials is the tireless campaign conducted by leftist lawyers (including Holder) to derail military tribunals by challenging them in the courts.” Those lawyers threw up hundreds of roadblocks. Military detentions and tribunals violated, they claimed, the U.S. Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Litigating all this has taken years. At last clearing those obstacles, the government initiated Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s military trial in Guantanamo in September 2008. In December, KSM pleaded guilty and asked to be executed. But now, the attorney general puffs out his chest

and declares that by trying KSM in an Article III federal court, he has chosen the forum “most likely to lead to a positive result.” The mind reels. This is an excruciatingly awful decision that no hanging judge talk of “the ultimate penalty” can perfume. What about the increased risk of terror attacks on New York during the trial? The city is “hardened” against attacks Holder assures us. Really? Like Fort Hood? By granting a civil trial to KSM, while Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who bombed the USS Cole in Yemen, will receive a military tribunal, the U.S. telegraphs this message to terrorists: Wherever possible, attack our civilians. You’ll get more lawyering and a better deal than if you attack our military. (And by the way, you’ll get more rights than a member of our military who commits a crime.) Attorney General Holder is keen to prove to a supposedly skeptical world that America lives up to its values (never mind that granting the full rights of citizens to enemy combatants is not part of our creed -- nor anyone else’s). Yet he has also repeatedly asserted that a not-guilty verdict is unacceptable. “Failure is not an option. These are cases that have to be won.” Whoa. In the first place, it isn’t at all beyond imagination that the government could lose this case. KSM was waterboarded. No evidence thus obtained is admissible. A liberal judge who disliked the Bush administration might exclude other key evidence as well. But Holder says he’ll be found guilty. Isn’t that a perversion of our jurisprudence? If a not-guilty verdict is impossible, then the trial is a sham. “Sentence first -- verdict afterward” said the Red Queen. Moreover, the Justice Department has assured Sen.

Jon Kyl that “we will not release anyone into the United States if doing so would endanger our national security or the American people.” So in the event that KSM is acquitted, it’s the position of the Obama Justice Department that we would continue to hold him? How does that outcome burnish the reputation of our justice system? And while we’re on the subject of not thinking things through, at a Senate hearing, Holder could not answer Sen. Lindsey Graham’s question about how we would deal with Osama bin Laden if we caught him tomorrow. Would he be Mirandized? Would we give him a lawyer? Isn’t that the precedent this decision sets? There are dozens more reasons (including the intelligence bonanza this will confer on al-Qaida) that this decision is among the worst to emerge from a terrible presidency. What did they hope to achieve? Perhaps they have thought it through -- at least as far as how the trial would unfold. With no defense (he has boasted about his mass murder), what will KSM do? He will put the CIA and the Bush administration on trial. Prepare for lurid accounts of his and others’ mistreatment. Is that the nub? To satisfy the revenge fantasies of American leftists who have lusted to put the Bush administration on trial, the Obama administration is willing to sacrifice logic, justice, national security, and honor? When KSM’s star turn in the courtroom goes viral on the Internet and inspires thousands of new jihadis, the Obamaites can console themselves that at least they stuck it to George W. Bush.

Probably not too many could have predicted this NCHSAA 2-A state football playoff matchup, but the Lexington Yellow Jackets will visit Cushwa Stadium Friday night in a rivalry game that has significant meaning.

Lexington is coming off a thrilling 22-21 comeback win over No. 1 seed Starmount, while the fourth-seeded Bulldogs had just as much excitement in a 13-10 overtime victory against Polk County. If not for a risky call on fourth down in over-

time, the Bulldogs may not be playing on Friday. Sam Nelson hit Brandon Lucas on a quick slant on the final play, as THS escaped to prolong its season. Thomasville, who extended its winning streak to eight straight games, defeated the Yel-

low Jackets 23-13 just a few weeks ago. In that game, Thomasville turned the ball over five times, but its defense kept them in contention as always. Nelson and Lucas had huge games through the air, especially in long down situations.

Jimmie Johnson made NASCAR history on Sunday winning his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup Series title at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and AJ Allmendinger completed the top 10. After Hamlin did a celebratory burnout on the frontstretch, and the championship stage was rolled into position, Johnson did an elaborate burnout of his own that started near the entrance to pit road and continued down the front straight-

Thomasville has dodged some bullets in previous seasons on their way to a state championship, and Friday’s 13-10 overtime win over Polk County was an example of how a little luck can help you go a long way. Several times throughout the NCHSAA 2-A playoff game, the Bulldogs had their backs against the wall. Most teams would have caved under the pressure, but Thomasville seems to have a knack for rising up when things look grim. The first of several big plays happened on defense late in the third quarter. After seeing its kicking game look sketchy early on, the Wolverines decided to go for it on fourth down at the Thomasville 5. Quarterback Andre Overholt called his own number on a quarterback draw, but the THS defense snuffed it out and stopped him for no gain. It was another stellar stop for the defense who deserved a much-needed rest, but instead, they were back at it two plays later. A botched pitch on the first play from scrimmage allowed Polk to recover at the two, all but putting seven points on the board for the visitors. Championships are won on the defensive side of the ball, though, and the red warriors came out barking and snarling at the Wolverines. Polk went backwards on the drive, and this time decided to go for the three points. The 24-yard attempt was blocked, keeping the game tied as one quarter remained. Thomasville had one more major bullet to dodge in the final seconds of regulation,

CROWNING A CHAMPION

HOMESTEAD, Fla.— Done deal. “How ’bout some history?!” Jimmie Johnson shouted as the crossed the finish line at Homestead-Miami Speedway. No, Johnson didn’t win Sunday’s Ford 400. Denny Hamlin did. But Johnson accomplished something far more significant than a victory in a single event. His fifth-place finish was more than good enough to clinch his fourth straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title, breaking a tie with Cale Yarborough for most consecutive championships. “History, boys,” Johnson continued. “No one ever — ever! I don’t know how to thank you guys. Thank you so much.” Johnson’s title run also completed Hendrick Motorsports’ sweep of the top three positions in the final standings, the first time an organization has achieved that distinction. In winning his fourth Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Johnson finished 141 points ahead of Mark Martin, who entered Sunday’s race 108 points behind his teammate and finished 12th. Jeff Gordon secured a third-place finish in the points with a sixth-place run. All but lost in the hoopla surrounding Johnson’s record run was Hamlin’s fourth victory of the season and his second in the Chase. Surging into the lead after a restart on

Williams picks off three passes in UNC victory BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHESNUT HILL, Mass. — North Carolina safety Deunta Williams was on the phone with one of his friends earlier this week, and the friend was raving about teammate Kendric Burney’s three-interception performance in a win over Miami last weekend. The junior then told his friend to make sure he watched Saturday’s game against Boston College. A week after Burney’s record-setting day, Williams had his own three-pick performance to help the Tar Heels beat the Eagles 31-13 at Alumni Stadium. It was the fourth consecutive victory for UNC (8-3, 4-3), and

the school’s longest winning streak since winning five straight in 2001. “It’s a little competition between us,” said Williams, whose 21st birthday was Saturday. “We’re both from Jacksonville, North Carolina so I couldn’t let him go out like that.” Williams’ interceptions, including one he returned to the Eagles’ 1 to set up the goahead score in the fourth quarter, accounted for three of the six turnovers UNC’s eighthranked defense forced against BC (7-4, 4-3). After struggling to create turnovers early in the season, the Tar Heels have recorded 14 turnovers the past four games. Williams now leads the team with six interceptions compared to Burney’s five. “I said, ‘Can’t I lead the team for more than

a week in interceptions?’ “ Burney said jokingly. “But you know I’m so happy for him.” But it’s not like Burney came up emptyhanded Saturday. UNC jumped to a 21-0 lead in the first ten minutes of the game when it took its opening drive down the field for a 1-yard Ryan Houston run and got two touchdowns from its defense — one of which came from Burney. The first defensive touchdown was scored by 6-4, 325 pound lineman Cam Thomas — who scooped up a fumble caused by teammate E.J. Wilson’s sack — and then lumbered 20 yards into the end zone to put his

torsports won its ninth ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championship, tying Petty Enterprises for most all-time. In addition, Hendrick won its aggregate 12th ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championship in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top three national series, a NASCAR best. Crew chief Chad Knaus extended his record number of consecutive Cup titles to four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. H, buddy, we really wish you were here today,â&#x20AC;? Knaus radioed after the race. Hamlin, who collected his eighth career victory, won from the 38th starting position in a No. 11 Toyota that improved as

enforcement experience. The class covers laws for citizens governing the use of deadly force to protect their homes, as well as deadly force laws in general as they pertain to citizens of N.C. Also, gun safety, marksmanship and fundamentals are covered and practiced during the class, with hands on range time. To sign up for the class call Livingston at 687-0290 or go by the fire department.

daylight turned to night, thanks to crew chief Mike Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astute adjustments to the car. Between the fireworks in the prerace ceremony and the championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burnout after the race, there were other pyrotechnics on the racetrack. Tony Stewart turned his No. 14 Chevrolet into Juan Pablo Montoyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 42 Chevy, after the two cars made contact shortly after a restart on Lap 113. Montoya pounded the Turn 3 wall and lost 27 laps while his crew repaired the car in the garage. After returning to the track, Montoya spun

Stewart off Turn 4, sending him into the inside retaining wall. Stewart recovered to finish 22nd, and Montoya came home 38th. Notes: After the race, Joey Logano was named Raybestos Rookie of the Year in the Cup series. â&#x20AC;Ś Truex made his last start for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing before moving to Michael Waltrip Racing next season. â&#x20AC;Ś Jamie McMurray finished 18th in his last run for Roush Fenway Racing. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drive for Earnhardt Ganassi next year.

From page 7 team up 14-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no bragger, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to act like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there before,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas, whose last touchdown came when he played fullback in high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it felt good, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie.â&#x20AC;? And 1:14 later, Burney broke the school record for interceptions returned for touchdowns. The junior picked off quarterback Dave Shinskie and strolled 30 yards into the end zone for his third career interception returned for a touchdown. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second consecutive game UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense has scored two touchdowns, and the Tar Heels lead the ACC with seven non-offensive touchdowns this season. Shinskie was picked off four times and finished 12 of 28 for 101 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t [give them 21 points] with a defense like that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bottom lineâ&#x20AC;? BC linebacker Mike McLaughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put yourself behind the eight-ball.â&#x20AC;? But even though the Eagles faced such a large deficit early in the game, they made it a one-score game just before halftime. BC capitalized on an Erik Highsmith fumble with a 28-yard field goal and turned a T.J. Yates interception into a 20-yard field goal. UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third turnover of the first half, another Yates inter-

ception, resulted in a the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone touchdown of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 2-yard pass from Shinskie to Rich Gunnell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to cut the lead to 21-13 at the break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I have been in a game where there were as many sudden change situations in a game as there were today,â&#x20AC;? UNC coach Butch Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes if things are so easy early then all of a sudden, if you are not careful, you let up a little bit and allow teams to get back into the game.â&#x20AC;? But Williams made sure the Eagles didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a full comeback. The fourth quarter began with the Eagles still in striking distance as neither team scored in the third quarter and Yates was picked off in the end zone for his third interception of the night. But with five minutes remaining in the game Williams grabbed his third pick at BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40 and, even though it appeared he had reached the end zone, he was ruled down at BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1. One play later Houston punched it in to put UNC up 28-13 and seal the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hurt a little bit, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored a touchdown in his collegiate career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted the end zone real bad, man. I was fighting, I was pushing, I was clawing and everything but I guess my butt hit before I turned around and fell over. I tried, man.â&#x20AC;?

Lewis earns a little respect BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun MIAMI — At Duke’s weekly press conference on Tuesday, a reporter asked Coach David Cutcliffe about some people trying to belittle Thad Lewis’ pursuit of the school’s career yardage mark because it in some ways is a product of longevity. “Anybody points that out and says something like, ‘Well, he doesn’t deserve the home run record because he’s played 25 years,’ now wait a minute,” Cutcliffe said. In Saturday’s 34-16 loss at Miami, in the next-tolast game of Lewis’ career, he earned the record and even more respect from his coach — if that was even possible. Lewis now has 9,678 passing yards, 64 yards more than Ben Bennett had from 1980-83. Lewis also moved into third place on the ACC’s alltime listed with a 303yard day, a day that Cut-

cliffe didn’t think would include Lewis. “I was amazed that Thad was available,” Cutcliffe said of Lewis, who has been battling a painful thigh bruise. “He was unable to practice this week. We didn’t advertise that — and rightfully so. “I was real thrilled when he told me Thursday morning that he could get in his car. That kind of gives you an indication of how sore he was and how limited.” Because of injuries and also because the only options behind him were Sean Schroeder — who is hoping to redshirt — and walk-on punter Alex King, Lewis wasn’t his spry self. He didn’t run the draws that often have been Duke’s best rushing play, and he didn’t make a lot of lateral moves to try to avoid Miami’s rush. But he was only sacked once, and he carved apart Miami’s secondary at times — just not enough times to pull out the victory.

“I wasn’t able to shake a defender like I normally would or get out of the pocket like I normally would, but I did just enough,” Lewis said. “I couldn’t really make plays with my feet, but I made a lot of plays with my arm because the receivers did a great job of getting open.” Lewis will be one of nine Duke seniors wrapping up their college careers Saturday against Wake Forest. He needs 172 yards to pass Chris Weinke of Florida State for second place in passing yards in ACC history, and he needs 322 yards to join Philip Rivers of N.C. State as the only two to reach 10,000 yards (Rivers has 13,484). After he managed to play at Miami, it’s safe to assume that nothing will keep Lewis off the field for his swan song. “He is a very courageous young man,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s the toughest guy you’ll ever find in a football game.”

Stay physically ﬁt in unﬁt economy METRO In these tough economic times when every penny counts, costly gym memberships are a common casualty. But that doesn’t mean you should neglect your health. “More than ever, it’s important to make exercise part of your daily routine,” says Don Brown, fitness expert and developer of the Ab Roller(R) and Ab Coaster(R). “You can maintain health, lead an energetic lifestyle and reduce stress by getting regular exercise.” The longtime fitness guru notes that physical health should not be sacrificed to cost-cutting measures. Rather, Brown offers the following tips for those looking to stay, or get, physically fit during tough economic times. • Get outdoors: Walking and jogging are great cardiovascular activities especially for those new to regular exercise and they are free. What’s more, getting out in the sunlight encourages healthy circulation, strengthens the body’s immune system by increasing white blood cell count and helps improve mood. On days when the weather isn’t cooperative, take your cardio workout indoors. Jumping rope and running on a treadmill are great traditional indoor exercises. Other fitness products, such as the Air ClimberTM,

With 13.3 seconds on the clock, Overholt scrambled 45 yards down to the Thomasville 25. When he was finally brought down, the clock read 11.1 and the Thomasville fans turned towards the press box and scolded the referee. After a lengthy discussion and winding down of the clock, there were 2.9

combine cardio with twist exercises that help tighten core muscles in the abdomen. “Focusing on core training can help ward off stress-induced belly fat,” says Brown. • Purchase at-home fitness equipment: Fitness fanatics are likely to want more from a workout than walking and jogging. At-home fitness equipment, such as the Ab Coaster(R), provides core-strengthening benefits similar to those you’d get from a gym plus the convenience of home. Easily assembled and taking up less space than a typical treadmill, the Ab Coaster is essentially a hybrid of two popular abdominal exercises: the hanging leg raise and crunches. The machine’s curved track guides you through a perfect lower abdominal lift while eliminating strain to your neck, back and shoulders. By engaging the abs from start-to-finish, the Ab Coaster strengthens the core with a constant contraction on every repetition, while the multi-angle seat adjusts to target oblique muscles for a complete abdominal workout. Users have even found the unique design to strengthen additional core-affected areas, most notably the lower back. • Maintain a healthy diet: Brown emphasized the importance of a healthy diet for everyone, from ardent fitness buffs to those with a more casual

seconds remaining. An offside penalty on THS moved the ball to the 20, where Polk lined up for what would have been a game-winning field goal, but it missed wide left as time expired. Thomasville had one more bridge to cross trailing 10-7 in overtime, when quarterback Sam Nelson fumbled at the two on third down. Polk believed they had recovered, but Nelson was ruled down setting up the final play. Nelson hit Brandon Lucas on a quick slant, proving once again that you better finish off the Bulldogs when given the chance.

approach to exercise. Those who like to dine out or frequently order in can save substantial amounts of money in the current economy simply by eating healthier and often far less expensive foods at home and by eating less. In conjunction with daily exercise, a balanced diet that includes multiple servings of fruits and vegetables is a great way to achieve or maintain optimal health, whether or not you ever enter a gym again.

CRIME BRIEFS Man charged with sexual assault

An elderly Lexington man is in jail for committing sex offenses against his daughter and granddaughter. Niles Lee Tysinger, 61, of 124 Riverwood Road, is charged with eight counts of indecent liberties with a child in connection to two separate instances that occurred more than two decades apart. According to a press release from the Davidson

County Sheriff ’s Office, detectives received a report regarding a possible sexual offense against a 10-year-old juvenile as well as sex offense against the victim’s 39-year-old mother. Detectives investigated and found that between Aug. 10, 1981 and Aug. 9, 1986, the mother was the victim of several sexual assaults over that period that occurred on Wofford Road in Southmont.

A Colfax man is facing nearly 60 counts of embezzlement for stealing from his former employer’s business. Ralph Timothy Lamb, 42, of 8525 Farrington Road in Colfax, is charged with 58 counts of felony embezzlement after an investigation by Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office detectives allege he stole from Radiohead 2

Way, located at 5500 N.C. Highway 150 in the Reedy Creek community. The owner of the business told deputies that numerous pieces of radio equipment were stolen after Lamb, the store’s general manager, quit his job. Detectives interviewed employees and researched business records, discovering that the thefts occurred between December 2008 and November 2009. On Nov. 13, warrants were ob-

tained for Lamb for three counts of felony embezzlement. Lamb turned himself into police two days later and was placed in the Davidson County Jail. Further investigation led to 55 additional counts of felony embezzlement. Detectives managed to recover some of the embezzled property. Lamb was issued a $200,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 14.
