Food drive donations help stock pantry shelves

Brown named TCS District Teacher of the Year

BY KARISSA MINN

Staff Writer

Donations to the Thomasville Times Community and Parks and Recreation Food Challenge will help stock the shelves of the food pantry at Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship, helping the group feed local families through its brown bag ministry and emergency food program. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Friday, Citadel of Faith’s brown bag ministry gives bag lunches to about 80 senior citizens, homeless people and others in need. Most of the lunches are delivered, but some are available at the church, located at 7 J.W. Thomas Way. “Along with those 80 people that we feed, we may have seven or eight families each Friday that need emergency food,” said the Rev. Dr. George B. Jackson, pastor. “They need the basics — beans, dry goods, meat and things of that nature.” Jackson said that at the end of each year, Citadel of Faith typically has just enough food to continue its brown bag ministry, but not the emergency food program. “The drive that’s spearheaded by the Times every year helps us to restock our pantries, because right about the middle of November, we are almost on empty,” he said. “By the middle of December — right now — we are just tapped out. This is a super blessing every year when this takes place. We get to stock our shelves again, and that usually lasts us through the year.”

Thomasville Police Deputy Chief Tim Driggres holds a picture offered to him during his retirement ceremony Friday.

Driggers honored for service BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Thomasville Police Department honored one of its own Friday afternoon in a special celebration that featured some of the area’s most well-known law enforcement officers turning out to pay tribute to a man who spent three decades serving the Chair City. TPD threw Deputy Chief Tim Driggers a retirement party, celebrating his 30 years of service with the department in a ceremony that featured unique gifts, turn-back-the-clock stories and laughs amongst family and friends. Driggers started at TPD in 1980 and will be officially retiring Jan. 1. “This has been quite a day,” Driggers said. “I’ve always tried to do a good job and have taken my career very seriously. I had a good time and they’ve been crazy enough to pay me for it for all these years. It’s just like family around here. In a way, it’s like losing part of your family. I’m still going to be around.”

Mayor Joe Bennett started the reception awarding Driggers the key to the city. Bennett commended Driggers for his service, saying he was an important part of TPD’s growth as the population of the Chair City has doubled in the past 30 years. “The services you provided the citizens of Thomasville had a great impact on our town in terms of where we’re at and what we’re doing,” said Bennett. “The town has grown and the services have expanded, and for that I thank you.” Driggers’ first boss, former TPD police chief and current Davidson County Commissioner, Don Truell presented him with a walking stick to commemorate his retirement, while other contemporaries took a more comical approach. “Driggers has a lot to do with who I am,” recently retired police chief Ronald Bratton said. “We drove together and he had one job. Do you remember what that was?” Driggers replied, “Getting honey buns.”

Davidson County Sheriff David Grice told the audience that Driggers was the go-to guy at TPD, especially during lunch time. “It was always a pleasure to work with Tim between 12 and 1 each day if we needed somebody form the police department,” said Grice. “We’d call Tim because Bratton would be watching soap operas.” Capt. Mills started just a few months after Driggers, and the two have spent the better part of the past three decades together. “I consider him a good friend,” Mills said. “We’re like the last of the dinosaurs around here. He will truly be missed.” Current Police Chief Jeff Insley said Driggers will remain on the force in a limited capacity, as he will serve as captain of the police reserve. “This is both a good day and a bad day,” said Insley. “It’s bad for me because I’m losing my deputy chief, but this is a good day for him. He has been there for me since I came on board in August and I’m grateful for that.”

Thomasville City Schools recognized its top teachers Thursday afternoon at the Board of Education’s monthly meeting. A m y Brown was named TCS’ district and Thomasville Middle School’s Teacher of the Year. Brown Brown, an eight grade language arts teacher, is known as a person who not only cares about her students but as a team player who always has a door open to her colleagues. “She’s a child advocate,” TMS Principal Georgia Marshall said. “She will come to me and speak on behalf of a child in the blink of an eye. That’s what we love about her — she works for what she believes in for children.” Brown also recently earned her National Board Certification and is in the running for Regional Teacher of the Year honors. Brown is part of TMS’ Impact team and is a tech buddy for other teachers. “I know I am where I am because of the work of my peers and my colleagues,” said Brown. “We’ve done a lot of collaboration this year where we’re working together and planning lessons together, and I’m a better teacher because of the teachers around me making me better.” Scott Walters received the Teacher of the Year award for Thomasville

Side Street Café recognized for expansion BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

The Thomasville City Beautification Committee has named Side Street Café as December Business of the Month for its recent expansion and decorations. The café is set up in the back of Thomasville Emporium Antique Mall, located at 12 Commerce St. near the water tower. It is decorated to look like a street café in Italy, with old-fashioned chairs and tables, baskets and an awning. Ruth Smith, who owns both the café and emporium with

her husband Mark, handpainted windows and windowsills on the walls. Holiday garland and lights currently adorn the iron rail that surrounds the quiet dining area. “I think it’s probably the most unique place in town to eat,” Smith said. “All of our food is homemade. We do all of our cooking, and we don’t buy anything pre-prepared.” Side Street Café is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Its menu includes soups, salads, sides, desserts, beverages and 11 lunch dishes named after Thomasville Streets.

The National Wreaths Across America event will honor veterans at Arlington National Cemetery and at over 400 participating locations nationwide. Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum will be one of those locations this year. The Winston-Salem Component Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol sponsors the local event. It will begin at 11:55 a.m. today in the West Promenade Memorials. The Wreath Laying Ceremony will begin with a moment of silence to commemorate all fallen soldiers. Taps played on bugles and Amazing Grace on Bag Pipes will follow this. There will be a short ceremony presenting the Wreaths. At

the completion of the ceremony, the Civil Air Patrol will place the 7 wreaths signifying each branch of military service plus one for POWs, in front of the Memorial Wall in the Atrium Lobby of Joel Coliseum, where the wreaths will remain until after the new year. What started more than 18 years ago as one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream to honor veterans with Maine wreaths for the holidays, has become an annual event. In 2006, spurred by the tremendous outpouring of letters and interest, Worcester Wreath Company solicited Civil Air Partrol and its members to help expand the reaches of the Arlington Wreath Project with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wreaths Across America.â&#x20AC;?

Fair and balanced (and phony) science VIEWPOINT

JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist Evading the challenges of climate change -- and the human responsibility to save the planet -- is simple enough even for the laziest citizen. Pay attention only to the theories that support the comforting skepticism of the oil industry. Focus on a set of purloined emails that prove nothing except that scientists can be as unpleasant to each other as any other group of people. Get the “facts” from Fox News Channel, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, the Moonie-controlled Washington Times and all the other conservative outlets that are as fair and balanced as an Exxon press release. And be sure to ignore the mounting evidence, most notably the actual temperature studies released by the United Nations this week, that proves beyond a doubt that the Earth is warming as carbon-based industrialization spreads across the developing nations. It is hardly surprising that Fox News would emphasize the use of terms like “trick” in a stolen message from the University of East Anglia without mentioning that the word has an innocent meaning when used by scientists. It is even less surprising that in their zeal to exploit those emails and influence public opinion, the Fox News crew would concoct their own stupid deception. As the email controversy unfolded, pollsters at Rasmussen Reports asked respondents the following question: “In order to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming, how likely is it that some scientists have falsified research data?” According to their survey, 35 percent believed that it was “very likely,” 24 percent thought it was “somewhat likely,” 21 percent thought it was “not very likely,” 5 percent thought it was “not likely at all” and 15 percent were unsure. But those results weren’t damning enough for Fox, which displayed a full-screen graphic on the poll claiming that 59 percent considered scientific deception to be “somewhat likely” and 35 percent considered it to be “very likely,” with only 26 percent feeling it was not very likely. Add up those numbers, and the total comes to 120

percent (with the uncertain 15 percent discarded). Should we trust the science reporting of a network so challenged by basic arithmetic? Perhaps that question is unfair — or it would be if Fox and the propagandists of climate skepticism had not indulged in so many earlier episodes of fakery. Consider the career of Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, the leading skeptic and former chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, who has vowed to travel to the Copenhagen Climate Conference as a one-man “truth squad.” Back when he still chaired that Senate panel, Inhofe sent out a press release with the following bold headline in huge typeface: “Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007.” Described as a U.S. Senate report, this release claimed to debunk the scientific consensus on climate change. When examined more closely, however, the Inhofe report was an amateurish fraud. Those 400 prominent scientists included more than 80 who had received funding either directly or indirectly from the oil and coal industries and more than 90 who had no scientific expertise in climate science, along with 49 retired scientists and 44 television weathermen. The Oklahoma senator’s attempt to obscure the verdict of actual scientists reflected the advice of Frank Luntz, the GOP public-relations adviser and pollster who authored a notorious 2002 memo telling Republicans that they could only “win” the global warming debate by doing exactly that. Over the past several years, Republican allies in the fossil fuel business have funneled millions of dollars into that effort, while often concealing the true sources of funding behind the studies that question warming and its causes. Meanwhile, the scientific consensus remains unshaken and profound. From the thousands of scientists who participated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to the National Academy of Scientists, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Royal Society and the hundreds of peer-reviewed studies published over the past 15 years, the findings are plain enough. Global warming is real, with serious consequences for humanity. Hiding from the truth won’t change it.

A losing bet in Afghanistan VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist President Obama has outlined his new Afghanistan strategy, and the critics have had a lot to say. Things will be tougher than they were in Iraq, warned one opponent. The American general in charge doesn’t understand Afghanistan very well, said another. Afghans won’t be ready to take over security for their country for at least five years and will demand U.S. financial help for 15 or 20, predicted a third. Oops. My mistake. Those forecasts didn’t come from people who oppose Obama’s decision to expand the war. They came from people who support it — no less than Gen. David Petraeus, Gen. Stanley McChrystal and President Hamid Karzai. In this war, even the optimists are wreathed in gloom. For that matter, the president himself is not exactly the picture of confidence. “Afghanistan is not lost,” he felt compelled to insist, while admitting that “for several years it has moved backwards” and reporting that McChrystal found “the security situation is more serious than he anticipated.” Obama’s policy is a clever attempt to reconcile the two sides of the debate, one favoring escalation and the other recommending withdrawal. He proposes to

do both: ramp up now and start to leave in 18 months. If the surge works, we are led to believe, it will be safe to go. Implied, but unsaid, is that if it fails, there will be no point in staying. But the administration is firmer on the escalation than it is on the exit. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that come July 2011, only “some small number” of U.S. troops will be brought home. “I don’t consider this an exit strategy,” he emphasized. McChrystal takes the commander-in-chief ’s timetable even less seriously. “I don’t believe the July 2011 time frame, militarily, is a major factor in my strategy,” he said. Obama’s dual-pronged plan is not crazy in principle, but it looks to be short one prong. When he says we’ll escalate now and draw down later, we can believe the first part. Betting on a substantial withdrawal in 2011 is like betting that Tiger Woods will become monogamous. Nothing is impossible, but… There are more reasons to think the strategy will fail than to believe it will work. The first is that you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. American forces arrived in Afghanistan with the advantage of not being the Taliban — whose oppressive policies had alienated the populace. But today, the locals associate us with eight years of disappointment. It’s not easy for a culturally alien outside power to win the support of a people with a long history of resistance to foreign invaders. It’s even harder to win that support after we’ve spent the better part of a decade proving we don’t deserve it. More U.S. troops are supposed to enhance security for ordinary Afghans, as

well as facilitating civilian improvements that will win their allegiance. But more U.S. troops also mean more deaths for innocent Afghan bystanders, not to mention a greater daily irritant to nationalist sensibilities. The people we aim to help, keep in mind, have no powerful reasons to like or trust us. A lot of Americans feel a visceral aversion to our national government — regarding it as incompetent, dishonest and overly powerful. So imagine how it looks to Afghans who see our soldiers in their streets. It’s no great asset that our chief ally is a regime that had to rig elections to stay in office. Another obstacle is that the biggest threat to our security and the stability of South Asia lies beyond our reach, in Pakistan. It’s hard to battle a foe that can find sanctuary just over the border, where we are constrained in pursuing them. And the harder we fight the Taliban in Afghanistan, the more likely we are to push them into Pakistan, and the more likely they are to assist Pakistan’s own insurgency, which is not exactly helpful to our interests. Getting out of Afghanistan sooner might have consequences we’d prefer to avoid. But escalation offers only slim hopes of averting those repercussions. If we’re likely to fail, we can do it after we sacrifice a lot more lives and money. Or we can do it before. Steve Chapman blogs daily at newsblogs.chicagotribune. com/steve_chapman.

WALLBURG — Ledford wrestling coach Bobby House has over 60 guys out this season in mat action, and he needed some help from a few of them to get past Thomasville. With three starters out due to injury, House was able to go down his bench and find valuable replacements, as the Panthers surged ahead late in the match on Thursday to win 42-31. “The young guys in place for them did a great job,” House said. “We have enough people to cover them and that is what makes it great.” Ledford improved to 7-1 with the win, overcoming a 22-12 deficit through seven matches to claim the nights top prize. Thomasville had a strong start, but there are circumstances outside of the circle that are not pleasing to Thomasville head coach Richard Herman. “I have got to get the boys to listen to me, not on just the mat, but making weight and doing what we are supposed to do,” he said. “We have a long way to go.”

period, which was followed up by a forfeit for Jacob Decker to make it 12-4 Panthers. Justin Keitt built a 14-8 lead in the second period at 171, but found himself

a pin to knock six points off the lead. Sharaun Mouzone picked up six more and Jaquan Harris and Sherrod Young added three more to give THS a 22-12 advantage.

East played, the score was no indication of how dominant the Golden Eagles were. “Once you start playing well on defense you feel like everything is going your way,” Eddinger said. “It was tough for us because we worked that hard and we were only up by six at that point. Fortunately for us, the girls kept it going throughout the fourth quarter. East (5-1) opened the final eight minutes with a mini 8-0 run, and got some valuable minutes from Hallman, who could become a big-time player on the perimeter with Grimsley and Fox.

GAME REPORT DEADLINES:

TRINITY — Maybe Brian Eddinger should tell his East Davidson Lady Golden Eagles that every quarter is the third quarter. Just as it did Tuesday against Wheatmore, East played stellar defense which translated to easy chances on the other end, gradually pulling away after being down at the half to Trinity, to win going away, 55-45. Haley Grimsley paced East once again with 17 points, Taylor Hallman had 11 points and Candace Fox delivered 10 points in the contest. Logan Terry was tops for the Bulldogs with 14. Trinity took a 28-27

lead into the half with a buzzer-beater, and even led 34-33 with four minutes to go in the third. East played much better defense to keep it close, but really poured on the pressure over the final minutes of the period. EDHS got to alEddinger most every loose ball and outhustled the Bulldogs during an 8-1 spurt to take a 41-35 lead. They would maintain the advantage as Taylor Alexander scored on a hustle play underneath, making it 43-37. As good of defense as

The Central Carolina Conference recently released its all-conference selections with several players from Thomasville and East Davidson selected. On defense, Bulldog defensive back Isaiah Williams was named the player of the year. Williams recorded 73 tackles and intercepted two passes with one going for a touchdown.

Davidson were Nick Gibson and Dylan Hutchins. On offense, Thomasville placed six more players including player of the year runner-up Sam Nelson.

Making the team for the Golden Eagles were wide receiver Blake Dodd and tailback Dylan Gallimore. Thomasville head coach Allen Brown was named top coach.

Nothing like a sure thing OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist My Uncle Evander was never one to make a random bet. It was simply not his nature to leave anything to chance, so when he bet my Uncle Bernie that Billy Lagle would backlash his reel today, I was amazed. True, Billy had been irritating everyone on the surf fishing trip bragging on how his new reel was backlash proof. Almost everyone else had experienced at least one backlash and Billy had laughed every time a reel blew up. He was out-casting everyone as well. Billy was a good caster but he was really on his game this week. As the truck jostled along the sandy beach, Evander puffed on his unlit cigar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bernie, Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really casting well this trip but, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll backlash today.â&#x20AC;? Bernie wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one to bet either, but Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casting has been so good that confidence pushed him over the limit. Besides that, Bernie was tired of Evander getting stuff over on him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we betting, Evander?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loser buys oysters at Popâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raw Bar for lunch.â&#x20AC;? Evander looked past me at Bernie, grinning through his cigar. Within the first five

minutes we were on the beach, Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reel blew up in the mother of all backlashes; he shrugged and switched to his old rod. Bernie had the look of a man whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been beaten, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how. A few hours later, my oysters were good but Evander absolutely relished his. Bernie was suspicious and knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been had, but he picked up Evanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tab. Later at the fish cleaning station, Evander and I were alone, cleaning fish. As his protĂŠgĂŠ, Evander almost always let me in on his secrets, providing I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the target of the scam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How did you know Billy was going to backlash?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hand me those Ziplock bags, please,â&#x20AC;? Evander said. He always made me wait a minute before he revealed a trick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billy told me at breakfast he was going to replace his line â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause it was nicked and I told him he could put the new line on my tab at Frank and Franâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d backlash.â&#x20AC;? Evander chuckled. Suddenly, Evanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention was averted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey watch this,â&#x20AC;? he said, carrying him two fish heads to the edge of the thicket that was just a few feet from the fish cleaning table. As Evander approached the brush, a raccoon came out and Evander tossed him a fish head. Another came out and took the other fish head. The coons sat on their haunches and ate the fish heads within 10 feet of us. Evander explained that the raccoons always hung around the fish clean-

ing table and would come running every time they heard a door slam. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d even named them Curly and Moe. My uncle and the collection of characters and nerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-do-wells that were the inner circle of his friends would only bet on a sure thing. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it was some kind of code or if they were just practical guys. The unfortunate victims who associated with them constantly suffered from being snookered into buying lunch, cleaning the fish, or some other undesirable outcome. The pranksters were always good natured and no one really minded since the same guy who would befraud them would spend half a day trying to teach them how to cast a surf rod, sight in their deer rifle, or train their bird dog. It was good natured and fun abuse. The brilliance of their abuse of us was in how they made something that was totally unrelated become one of their best efforts. Sometimes, the victims were folks they worked with, too. Dave Motsinger was one of my Uncle Evanders best friends. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d belonged to the same gun club for years, shot in the National Matches together and even shot their first pistol match together. Dave was a welder for RJ Reynolds Tobacco and probably the most organized man I ever knew. He maintained and organized everything he owned and never lost track of anything he owned. At some point in Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting career, he got involved in shoot-

Smoked Pink Ham

ing bowling pins off a steel table with a pistol. The winner of the match was determined by who cleared the table first and Dave was pretty good at it. Dave, being the organizational addict he was, got involved and began to furnish the pins for the matches. He established a working relationship with a few bowling alleys and had a constant supply of pins for the matches. At some point when he went to pick up bowling pins, the lady at the alley offered Dave

a few dozen old rental bowling balls. Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature was to never turn down anything free and he took the balls and stored them in one of the organized sheds he had behind his house. He worked with a guy who was a pretty good semi-pro bowler. When Tom bragged one day about how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just added another bowling ball to his collection, Dave asked how many balls he had. Tom said he owned 12 balls. Dave chuckled and said anyone owned at least a dozen

balls and that he owned dozens. Tom made a bet Dave couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce two dozen bowling balls by tomorrow and Dave came to work the next day with a pickup full of bowling balls and collected Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $25. I figured out later in life that they were giving us memories and stories to tell later. At some level, I think they understood that. On the days when the fish didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bite or the rain washed out the bird hunt, we

SPORTS SCOOT From page B1 had it going from the outside on offense. Six of the eight points were scored by Hallman as she dialed up a pair of 3s to break the game wide open. “She has been strug-

gling in our other games with her shot, but she played great tonight on offense and defense,” said Eddinger. Trinity looked like a different team in just a week’s time since the two played each other. The Lady Bulldogs were hitting from the outside and working the ball around

in building a 14-10 after one quarter. East put together an 112 spurt to start the second quarter on eight points by Grimsley and a 3 from Hallman, as East turned the tables to lead 21-16. A 3-ball by Grimsley with 3:18 to go kept the Golden Eagles up by four, but Trinity had a strong final

few minutes to take back the lead. “It is always hard playing someone the second time around,” Eddinger said. “We knew they would be well prepared for us, and they came out strong and had an answer to everything we did in the first half.”

Heels excited to be playing close to home BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina coach Butch Davis opened Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press conference by restating how excited the Tar Heels were to be headed to the Meineke Car Care Bowl for the second straight season and for the third time in the past five years. Even though it looked like UNC could end up in the Gator Bowl a few weeks ago, a regular season-ending loss to N.C. State and the retirement of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden knocked the Tar Heels down in the bowl pecking order. Most of the players followed their coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead Thursday and said they were excited to be going to any bowl, especially one where they get to play in front of a proUNC crowd. But what was the initial reaction about the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowl placement from the alwaysentertaining defensive lineman Marvin Austin? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not disappointment, I just thought freaking Bobby Bowden, what the freak,â&#x20AC;? said Austin with his trademark grin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one thing I thought but at the same time, man, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always optimistic about any situation and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a good football team.â&#x20AC;? UNC practiced Thursday for the first time since the loss to N.C. State on Nov. 28 and most players said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used the past couple of weeks to relax and stay off their feet. The Tar Heels are currently in the middle of final exams and will squeeze in 10 practices between now and the Dec. 26 matchup with No. 17 Pittsburgh. Most players said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not disappointed theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to a more high-profile bowl, and cornerback Kendric Burney said the team is grateful to be going to Charlotte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to is like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aw, I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all mad that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to

Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, you know, we put that on ourselves,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; Burney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you know Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good bowl and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a team who couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been easily in one of the BCS bowl games.â&#x20AC;? Offensive lineman Kyle Jolly is just happy to be in a bowl game. The fifth-year senior missed out on bowl games for three seasons of his collegiate career, and he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling the younger players wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be up in Canada, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even care where it is,â&#x20AC;? Jolly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to a bowl game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy because three years without a bowl game is enough for me.â&#x20AC;? But of course, the Tar Heels said just getting to the bowl game wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough this season. Running back Ryan Houston said the team is better prepared this year because the players have been to a bowl game before and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a new experience. He said UNC got caught up in distractions last year and it was part of the reason for the loss to West Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be calmed down a little bit more,â&#x20AC;? quarterback T.J. Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be all hyped that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finally at a bowl game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, alright, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at another bowl game, we got to win this one now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a bowl game to win it.â&#x20AC;?

Seems every year they got better and when one of those old men died, those stories gave us all something to smile about at the funeral home.

lie picked up three points for Thomasville in an 1816 battle. The Panthers would win the next four matches by pin in taking the lead for good. Starting at 119, Larsten Trent won by pin in the third period, then Mike Pounds only needed one period to get his man down. Josh Phillips tacked on another six points pinning his man early in the third period, and Shabazz Butt finished it off with a thrilling pin of his own. Thomasville won the final match by decision. The kids up top tonight did a great job getting us pins and not just points,” said House. Then the guys down low wrestled awesome and I was excited about our effort. Ledford will compete in a tournament at South Stokes today at 9 a.m. and will entertain Southern Guilford next week in its first conference match. Thomasville will wrestle in a tournament at Trinity today at 9 a.m. as well.

TIMES STAFF REPORT

Each year, the Thomasville Woman’s Club hosts a local art festival for area schools and club members. On Nov. 10, first place winners, teachers, principals, parents and club members gathered to celebrate and appreciate artwork from participants. This contest takes place once a year and is the club’s biggest project. All grade levels are encouraged to enter work completed by students. Club members are also encouraged to participate. Local schools are contacted early in September and given information about the contest. The schools who chose to show entries this year were Thomasville Primary School, Thomasville Middle School, Thomasville Senior High, Ledford High School and East Davidson High School. There are 53 categories offered for entries. They may enter as many times as they like. The students receive prize money and a certificate. Those who win first place will have the option of going to the next level of competition. This will be the District Art Contest that is held in February 2010. If they win first place in their category there, then they advance to the State Art Contest, which will be held in March 2010. The first place winners, their families and their art teachers were invited to attend the Nov. 10 luncheon to celebrate their hard work. This means a lot to the students and to the schools they represent. Second and third place winners also were acknowledged. Local art teachers who attended the luncheon were Dixie Blackwell from East Davidson, Dana Leonard from Ledford High School, Amber Gray from Thomasville Middle School and Janice Butler from Thomasville Primary School. Karen Sylvestor, who is the exceptional children’s director in the Thomasville City Schools, was also in attendance. Georgia Marshall, a principal, also attended. Schools and parents were greatly appreciated for the giving of their time and presence in this event. This year as a part of the Art Festival, there was a special division called Artfest. Children who are in the Exceptional Children’s programs in the area were invited to participate. There were two categories, visual arts and crafts for the children to enter. They were to produce art that would illustrate the themes of life, liberty and happiness. There were five first place winners in Artfest this year. In the theme of happiness, there was
