Public works official resigns Wastewater spill cited as reason for departure BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer A high-ranking official with the City of Thomasville Public Works Department has resigned in connection with the massive overflow of sewage into North
Hamby Creek in July and Early August. Dean Lambeth, maintenance and construction superintendent, stepped down Monday during an EPA investigation into the estimated 15.93 million gallon spill of untreated wastewater that flowed into High Rock Lake. Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver said that Lambeth received two calls on July 31 from employees at Baptist Children’s Home who were concerned that there might be
a problem with the sewer system. “He and another employee did go out and investigate [the first call], and they could not find any sources of sewage at that time,” Craver said. “He received a second call later that day from an employee from Baptist Children’s Home, saying that they thought they heard water running. Unfortunately, he decided not to go back out and investigate.” The city manager said he did not know why, if the manhole
had already collapsed and created the overflow, Lambeth did not notice that anything was wrong. The outfall line near Baptist Children’s Home is remote, he said, and it isn’t clear how long the spill actually was going on before it was discovered. Lambeth and Morgan Huffman, Thomasville Director of Public Services, could not be reached for comment. Thomasville initially report-

Students at Thomasville Primary School play on the new playground equipment provided as part of the Be Active North Carolina program Tuesday night. “With the problems we have in our society with childhood obesity one of our major focuses is the health and wellness of our children. This program has allowed us to take it to the next level.” According to Be Active statistics, children are 600 times more likely to develop heart

Ronnie Lewis owns two pieces of property on High Rock Lake and feels that the reported sewage leak from Thomasville had been going on for longer than just a few weeks. Thomasville officials claim the sewage leak was first discovered on Aug. 4, reporting that 385,000 gallons spilled into North Hamby Creek, which feeds Abbott’s Creek and runs into High Rock Lake. A person working at the Hamby Creek water treatment plant later contacted Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Najouks claiming 15.93 million gallons of sewage actually spilled, forcing city officials to amend their report on Sept. 8, following a visit from the Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigations division. Lewis thinks the leak, which is believed to have occurred between July 16 and July 25, goes back farther than that. “People need to go look at what we’re talking about,” Lewis said. “They don’t know what we’re talking about sitting in some office somewhere. They need to look at the water, especially over in the Abbott’s Creek area across from the bridge on Route 8 and see if they don’t agree that this has been going on for quite awhile. A little bit of sewage wouldn’t cause that algae to be growing in that shallow water like that, from the ground up. The stench of the water has been there for a year.” Najouks agreed. “I have had others emails saying the same
Just Push Play program aims to keep children active
Thomasville Primary School unveiled a new initiative Tuesday that is intended to get children more active, resulting in better grades and a healthier lifestyle. Parents and students got a first-hand look at Just Push Play, a statewide fitness program created by Be Active North Carolina that promotes physical activity at school in order to ensure children are in better health, leading to them performing better in the classroom. “We really think it’s important to teach children young so they will learn good habits for life,” Paula Gaylord, TPS principal, said. “That’s what we’re here about. This is part of our health education for them. The kids are real excited. We feel very fortunate and need to do a good job with it. We want other people to know what we’re doing so the word will spread.” TPS is one of six schools in the state that is participating in the Just Push Play program. Just Push Play offers schools

Board tables land use plan BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer
LEXINGTON — For the third time, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday sent the county’s land development plan back to staff for further revision because they took issue with some of the wording. “If a developer wants to use the recommended guides or any of the policy statements, he can take those policy statements and build a support mechanism for his proposed amendment to the zoning or-
dinance,” said Guy Cornman, county planning and zoning director. While the land development plan comes in the form of recommendations, not requirements, it could still be used as a legal defense for someone trying to appeal the board’s decision. Because of this, the county has been working on the plan for over a year, trying to get it exactly right. Commissioner Larry Potts expressed concern over a line in the plan that said the county should help preserve farm and forest land by offering conservation easement

payments. “I agree with preserving farmland, but this is recommending that we give conservation easements,” Potts said. “If we vote 4-to-3 to adopt this plan and this is in there, then it’s part of the plan.” Cornman explained that the board would have the final say in whether or not to fund such a program, but commissioners ended up requesting that the easement portion of the statement be removed. Next, Chairman Fred McClure asked for clarification

Take self awareness up a notch Bank of North Carolina - try writing instead of whining promotes Callicutt II to president TaylorMade
MARILYN TAYLOR Guest Columnist
Last week we identified the first pillar of EQ as self awareness. We may know what it is, but how do we increase our personal self awareness? Is there a course to take to learn to be more self aware? As a matter of fact, there are many. But I’d like to point out one new resource that is practical, spot on and easy to read. Emotional Intelligence 2.0 (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009) is endorsed by familiar management experts such as Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard. In addition to explaining EQ, the text delves into simple strategies for development. Consider the following sensible ways to take your self esteem up a notch: • Quit treating your feelings as good or bad. • Observe the ripple effect from your emotions. • Lean into your discomfort. • Feel your emotions physically. • Know who and what pushes your buttons. • Watch yourself like a hawk. • Keep a journal about your emotions. • Don’t be fooled by a bad mood. • Don’t be fooled by a good mood, either. • Stop and ask yourself why you do the things you do.
• Visit your values. • Check yourself. • Spot your emotions in books, movies and music. • Seek feedback. • Get to know yourself under stress. All these suggestions deserve consideration. You may experience a quick willingness to think about or try some of them. But the thought of attempting others may bring an immediate “push back.â€? The number seven item “Keep a journal about your emotionsâ€? offers an action item that many people have not tried. Most people don’t journal at all — never mind journaling about their feelings. Getting your emotions down on paper may seem awkward, embarrassing or just plain dumb when you’re angry or upset. If, however, you can find your way to do this, you will see something else entirely. You will be able, down the road, to actually look at a feeling. That’s right, look at a feeling. See it, examine it and be detached from it. That’s a luxury we don’t often have, especially when talking about our own feelings. But if, in the heat of the moment, you can just go with it and write out what is going on inside (no editing) this simple strategy can release your tension and help calm you down. Although a serene state can be very satisfying, it may not be the best thing this exercise offers. Something else still awaits. Go back to your writing (which you have hidden so that NO ONE can find it) several days, weeks or months later. Read it again with fresh eyes. Likely you will be surprised at some of the things you wrote. But you may also find
yourself amazed at how strongly you felt about something in comparison to how you feel now. Depending on the issue and intensity, you can feel quite differently about the very same thing just a short time later. You’ve just raised your own self awareness. What you are reading on those raging pages is your emotional response to a situation, and not necessarily the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The language can be shocking once your emotions are under control. Hmmm, what if you had acted on these emotions earlier? How would your decisions, behaviors or actions have been different? But you didn’t. You recognized your reactions as highly emotional and wrote through them. Now, gratefully, you are looking at a piece of self management, the second pillar of EQ. Take another look at the list of strategies above. How many could be checked off, over time, by the process of journaling your feelings? If kicking up self awareness is your goal, journaling may be worth a try. Taylor Training & Development, Inc. has provided team development in this region for 18+ years.

A new traffic pattern around Davidson County Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Davidson Campus will take effect on Monday, Sept. 28, when the North Carolina Department of Transportation plans to close a portion of Old Greensboro Road due to road improvements. All campus traffic entering and exiting Davidson County Community College from Business 85 will be routed to the
service road known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;DCCC Roadâ&#x20AC;? that runs the perimeter of the campus. Traffic entering from north Old Greensboro Road can access the campus using the newly constructed North Campus Entrance Road. A temporary gravel road entrance that has been used the past several weeks to access the Child Development Center and the Brooks Student Center parking lot will be closed. In order to access the Child Development Cen-

ASHEBOROâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The North Carolina Zoo, along with its parent agency, the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the N.C. Department of Transportation and several other partner agencies will hold opening ceremonies for a new Constructed Wetlands exhibit at the zoo at 10:30 a.m. Friday. One of the objectives in the N.C. Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing Environmental Management System is reducing contamination to the North America lake from rainwater runoff. As a partner in DENRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Stewardship Initiative, the zoo received a $5,000 grant in November 2004 to design a constructed wetland to filter stormwater runoff from its North America region parking lot. In addition, the zoo sought to educate visitors about the importance of wetlands to protecting and preserving the environment. Speakers for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening ceremonies will include Zoo Director Dr. David Jones, DENR Chief Deputy Secretary Manly Wilder, NCDOT Chief Operating Officer Jim Trogdon and Richard Rogers, executive director of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund. The media is invited to attend.

Information from the feasibility study was used to apply for CWMTF funding in December 2005, and the application was approved for $406,000 in July 2006. NCDOT agreed to provide $130,000 in design funds and worked with KHA and the Office of State Construction to produce the final plans and bid documents. The project went to bid in April 2008. Since construction costs had increased, the zoo applied for and received an additional $217,000 in CWMTF money. Construction was completed in May 2009 and the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horticulture staff finished the landscaping in June 2009. The zoo is an agency of the N.C.

Planning for the $1 million project included testing for runoff contaminants and designing the wetland, which included selecting plants, educational features explaining wetland benefits, a picnic deck and tying the 1.5-acre wetland to a nearby picnic area and trails. Students attending the Asheboro High School Zoo School assisted with the plant list and cost estimates of the plants. They will also help perform continued water monitoring requirements for the project, which is located adjacent to the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North America lake.

Personal best VIEWPOINT
MARTHA R. CARR Syndicated Columnist
Imagine being so hard on yourself that even at the moment of suicide you feel the need to practice so that you don’t fail at that as well and just embarrass yourself one more time. That was Darren Jacklin in a nutshell in 1989 at 19 years old when he took a few test runs in his car aimed at a brick wall going 80 mph. Fortunately, he wasn’t good at that either and ended up finding his life’s calling at the moment he was reaching out for death. At that moment of failure Jacklin let go of a childhood that never measured up to an exacting father’s torment and turned inward instead. What he found was a new way of looking at everything and now he’s working at spreading the word. “Time will either promote you or expose you,” says Jacklin, who said that when he walked away from the attempted suicide he had a deep conversation with himself. He learned how to open his heart and decided to trust people knowing that time would take care of the rest. He let go of needing to control. Jacklin has since become the newest bright star on the stage being touted by other big names in the field such as Dr. Brenda Wade for his open heart and simple message about an easier way to live. There is a certain element to being human that seems to hardwire us to seek out other people’s approval. We want others to think we’re reasonably good looking, somewhat successful and maybe even friendly. But take that to an extreme and suddenly we’re crushed or elated depending on who happens to be standing in front of us that morning. It’s a
tough way to get through life. The way out though is always just within reach the moment we become willing to surrender how it’s going to get done or what it has to look like and become comfortable, even happy with the journey. That’s Jacklin’s message and his goal is to use his life to be of service and impact 100 million lives a month. “We’re on track,” says Jacklin, “through radio, media, personal coaching and the web site at www.askdarrenjacklin.com. It’s in the millions and growing.” At the web site, Jacklin intones people to throw any question at him about how to change their lives for the better and he’ll find them an answer. He’s willing to work with anybody. However, this isn’t going to be about imagining what you want without changing your attitude or moving your feet. “People have to connect to their true authentic self,” says Jacklin by first changing the way they look at things. Sure, people approach him all the time with a list that includes a fancy car and a big house but after working with him for awhile they get down to what was underneath all of that. Beneath the outward flash is a desperate need to feel like we’re enough just as we show up in any given day. Jacklin’s dream is that the millions of people who hear his message will turn around and do the same thing for others, creating a ripple affect across the planet. Then, we’ll stop measuring ourselves by what we own, which has gotten harder these days anyway, and see the intrinsic value that was there all along. From that starting point an inner peace is possible and that’s the real prize after all. That’s what Darren Jacklin walked away with from the crash that was supposed to end his torment. It did accomplish that goal, just not the way he expected and in a much grander fashion. More adventures to follow. Martha Randolph Carr is the author of the novel, The Sitting Sisters.

Shaggin’ in the Virginia mountains THIS-N-THATS
LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist Our son Keith and his wife Pat invited us to join them for a night of music and cars in Hillsville, Va. this past Saturday night. What a night! Folks brought their canvas chairs to sit and enjoy the music, and enjoy a hamburger or hot dog. Gayle and I put on our “shaggin” shoes and did a step or two as did many others. We later took a walk to check out the cars parked on the streets. I was so impressed with their event that I contacted Hillsville Town Manager Larry South to get information. The “Embers” were the band for the final event for this summer. They provided the music for “shaggers” and an occasional slow dance. Even though beer could be purchased I saw no one giving trouble or intoxicated. The crowd basically was more middle-aged to older adults with some young folks. The event is sponsored by the Town of Hillsville. According to Mr. South, this was the sixth consecutive year of this type event, the second year with both music and classic cars. This was the first year they had five concerts running through September. Saturday’s crowd
was estimated at 3,000 an estimate which I consider low. The cost is shared between the town and several private business sponsors, the dollar amount of private sponsorship varies each year, and this particular event had 15 private sponsors. Mr. Smith stated, “These events have been great for the town, bring lots of folks to downtown and from out of town, both primary objectives of the events. The community and town citizens as well as many sponsors have been very supportive.” Maybe this is something Thomasville might consider next spring/summer for the new amphitheater stage being built in the old Belk parking downtown between Commerce Street and Memorial Park Drive. Now, don’t tell me why it can’t be done, just do it! ••• Speaking of downtown, two things come to mind. There seems to be plenty of cars parked downtown as was the case after last Friday’s football game. They may be getting a bite to eat or socializing with friends. That’s good, at least they were in Thomasville and not spending their money out of town. Second, several unoccupied storefront windows are covered with what appears to be ugly “butcher paper.” Wouldn’t it be great if Art Classes in the schools took on a project to paint a mural on the windows of the vacant buildings with the owners permission? Occasionally, we have set at the Fountain on Sunday nights and let the greatgrandchildren throw coins in the fountain. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at something pretty for a change.
••• Still don’t have the answer to why the intersection of Lake and Johnsontown Road is known as “Forty Crossings.” Did have one caller saying that it was called Forty Crossings but he didn’t say why or didn’t know. I did get our copy of “Wheels of Faith and Courage” written by Mary Matthews and Jewel Sink back in 1951, but couldn’t find any reference to “Forty Crossings.” I did run across some other information I thought might be interesting. I’ll write about those in future “More of This-n-That’s.” ••• Do you know your Hymns? Dentist’s Hymn: “Crown Him with Many Crowns” Weatherman’s Hymn: “There Shall Be Showers of Blessings,” Contractor’s Hymn; “The Church’s One Foundation,” The Tailor’s Hymn: “Holy, Holy, Holy,” The Politician’s Hymn: “Standing on the Promises,” Optometrist’s Hymn: Open My Eyes That I Might See,” The Gossip’s Hymn: “Pass It On.” ••• Remember, plastic bottles along with wooden pallets and oil filters will be banned from North Carolina landfills effective Oct. 1. Recycle them instead. ••• And in ending this week’s column, Thomas Jefferson said, “The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” Guest Columnist Larry Murdock can be reached at larry.murdock@hotmail.com.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor I apologize for my delay in responding to the attack directed at me on this page on Aug. 15, 2009, by somebody named Jane Nobles. The letter discussed the first of the three issues that appeared on the ballot of the Thomasville municipal referendum held on April 15, 2003. Ms. Nobles wrote: “Whoever drafted the petition to change the term lengths, did not do his homework.” “Whoever” is me. And I most certainly did do my homework. The relevant statutes are G.S. 160A-101(4) and G.S. 160A-104. Ms. Nobles can read them for herself. Those statues allow very little latitude in the wording of a petition.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR All letters should include name, address and daytime phone number. Anonymous letters will not be printed. Letters should be no more than 400 words, unless otherwise approved by editor. Limited to one letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to editing.
When I had finished drafting my petition, just to make sure that I had dotted every “i” and crossed every “t,” I sought and obtained the blessing of Robert P. Joyce. Professor Joyce was then and is now a member of the faculty of the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. When our city attorney, Paul R. Mitchell, recently prepared an important memorandum on an arcane area of municipal employment law, the expert he chose to consult was Robert P. Joyce. Ms. Nobles contends that “had the voters rejected changing the terms from four-year staggered to two-year terms then a court would have [had] to
EMAIL: Editor@tvilletimes.com FAX: 888-3632 MAIL: Letters to the Editor Thomasville Times 210 Church Ave. High Point, N.C. 27262
decide whether to override the voters and leave the at-large seats as two-year terms or change the terms to four-year staggered.” If the voters had rejected the change, there would have been nothing to override; everything would have stayed the way it was. It’s that simple. Fortunately, on April 15, 2003, the voters did not reject the change; they embraced it. And I trust that on Nov. 3, 2009, they will reject the pleas of Ms. Nobles and other similarly confused people who want to return to the bad old days of incumbent protection and fragmented accountability.

OBITUARIES
RESIGNS From page 1 ed that the spill began on Aug. 3 and was fixed on Aug. 4. After Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks got a tip from a Hamby Creek Waste Treatment Plant employee that some spills were being underreported, he called for a criminal investigation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The city then was required to report that the recent overflow had started as early as July 16. Five samples were taken from different locations along Abbotts Creek arm of High Rock Lake on Sept. 19, 46 days after the spill was repaired, and tested on Sept. 20. Craver said that according to the WinstonSalem Division of Water Quality, each sample fell within the normal range for fecal coliform bacteria, indicating that the water is safe for human contact. The testing sites were at a place just north of the N.C. Highway 8 bridge, a spot where Abbotts Creek meets one of its tributaries, a place just north of Holloway Church Road Bridge, a point further north where Abbotts Creek narrows, and a spot just north of Indian Trail Road. The water was not tested right away because the city did not think that the spill was very large, Craver said, and officials

thing so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was an ongoing thing,” said Najouks. “There’s still a lot of suspicion about the time, how they reported it and how they handled it. Everything that they have been doing is odd.” Najouks, who started his current job last fall, is a long-time water quality advocate who helped uncover 20 violations at Raleigh’s sewage treatment plant in 2002, leading to the city spending more than $50 million to upgrade its facility. At the close of Monday night’s city council meeting, officials said testing had been done on the water at the mouth of Abbott’s Creek where it enters High Rock Lake and normal levels of contaminants were reported. High Rock Lake, while also being a tourist attraction, is the major drinking water source for Salisbury. Najouks said he expected the tests would be normal due to the fact the spill was two months old, but felt it was important the city announced the water isn’t an immediate threat to the public.
Swimming in Polluted Water Viral Gastroenteritis is the most common illness associated with swimming in polluted water. Although the symptoms are usually minor, they may present in a variety of forms that can include one or more of the following: • Chills • Nausea • Diarrhea • Stomachache • Headache • Fever(12) Other minor illnesses can result from swimming in polluted water including diseases affecting the eye, ear, skin, and upper respiratory infections. In highly polluted water swimmers may be exposed to more serious diseases like Amoebic dysentery, Cholera, Giardia, Hepatitis, Intestinal parasites, Norwalk Virus, Shigellosis, and Viral Respiratory Infections. Small children, infants, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems are most likely to develop illnesses or infection after swimming in polluted water. are still trying to figure out how severe it really was. “What’s been reported is massive, but the expected ecological impact that would come from such a discharge over this long of a period of time — it doesn’t match up,” Craver said. “There’s no dead fish. A lot of things don’t quite add up here.” Craver said that an algae bloom created by nutrient overloading could be a long-term effect that can’t be seen yet, but High Rock Lake will turn over twice by spring, bringing in fresh water to flush it out. Water quality issues in Abbots Creek, though, may have been a problem
even before the recent spill. According to The Piedmont Triad Council of Governments, Abbotts Creek is currently listed as “impaired” by the EPA for biological habitat. The PTCOG’s new Abbots Creek Watershed Restoration Plan will identify pollution sources, conservation priorities and potential projects to help restore the creek to healthy ecological conditions. The group is holding a free barbecue luncheon and public information session at Finch Park in Lexington at 12 p.m. Saturday to celebrate the kickoff of the plan.
“[The spill] can create algae blooms which can impact the taste and odor of Salisbury’s drinking water,” Najouks said. “That is being overlooked in this issue. As far as the environmental and potential health impacts from algae blooms impacting the drinking water supplies are still relevant issues that need to be addressed. People need answers, and quite frankly Thomasville has to face the music and accept responsibility and answer to this problem.” Earlier in the week, a supervisor with Thomasville Public Works resigned due to the controversy, according to City Manager Kelly Craver. Thomasville could be staring at a huge fine from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to the tune of $32,500 a day for the 20-day long spill. Lewis doesn’t feel like a fine will solve the problem. “Fining them and sending money up to Washington and the EPA, how’s that going to help me and my neighbors?” asked
Lewis. “They are going to just flush it down the drain up there. This is the way you cover stuff up. You blame it on someone then you get rid of them.” Lewis said he has contacted Congressman Howard Coble’s office regarding the spill and is organizing a petition for concerned High Rock Lake residents. Lewis’ two infant granddaughters became ill with diarrhea after swimming in the water and he would like to hear city officials make a statement as to the safety of the lake. “I’m going to try and get some people’s feet back to the fire and try to get this thing resolved,” Lewis said. “I would like for them to address the people and fill us in as to what they’re going to do and what procedures they’re going to take about making sure the water isn’t polluted so that it’s not unhealthy for people to be in it or around it. Everyone one of them knew there was a problem there and has been a problem.”

Thomasville head coach Allen Brown is finally going to get his wish, as the Bulldogs enter their final week of nonconference action when they travel to Asheboro Friday night. But with the Central Carolina Conference season looming just one week away, time is running out on trying to get his entire team on the same page. The good news for Brown is his defense seems to be putting it all together. On the other side of the ball, though, the offense has not made much progress, especially in last week’s 17-15 loss to Davie County. Brown was quoted in Saturday’s edition of the Times saying, “It’s time to get the offense straightened out.” He has been busy this
week trying to do just that. “We are reviewing game footage and we are trying to figure out how to execute better,” Brown said. “Some of our errors in the running game are the running backs are not finding the holes correctly and some of it is blocking. Davie just whooped us up front last week, but we hope with this week’s practice we have gotten better.” The offense did not score a touchdown un-

T h e Lingerfelt Panthers (1-3) traveled to West Davidson last week and picked up their first victory of the year in a decisive manner by outscoring the Dragons 45-21. The Golden Eagles (3-2) shutout the Warriors of Wheatmore 26-0, as they picked up their first non-conference victory at home. Last season’s game was a hard fought battle for both sides, with Ledford coming out on top 41-31, as they successfully defended their home field.

They are averaging 21.6 points per game over the first five contests, well below the average of 31.4 from last seasons first five games. A lot of that can be attributed to a stiffer level of competition, but there is still plenty of concern in the 1-4 Thomasville camp. After giving up a combined 62 points in games against Kannapolis Brown and Mt.

FANCY FOOTWORK Ledford fullback Charlie Moran gains control of the ball and starts to attack up the field in a nonconference game with Central Davidson Wednesday in Wallburg.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has issued penalties to the No. 18 team that competes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as a result of a rule infraction found last Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The No. 18 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-I (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 2012.8 1B (the height of the car at the left front fender did not meet the required specification; too low in post-race inspection) of the 2009 NASCAR rule book. Crew chief Steve Addington has been fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Driver Kyle Busch and car owner Joe Gibbs have been penalized 25 championship driver and 25 championship owner points, respectively.

UNC has punting options BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — In North Carolina’s win over East Carolina on Saturday, the Tar Heels dominated every statistical category except one — punting. UNC Grant Schallock’s four punts averaged just 31.2 yards against ECU, and his short punts were especially noticeable since the Pirates’ kicker was booming them an average of 48.8 yards. Through three games this season, Schallock is averaging 37.8 yards a kick while the Tar Heels’ opponents are averaging 44.6 yards. Those are numbers that make UNC coach Butch Davis uneasy since it is placing his team in less than desirable field position. “We want to be as good as we possibly can in the kicking game,” Davis said Wednesday. “I think [Schallock] knows that he needs to punt better. He’s got to be a lot more consistent, and it’s something we are concerned about.” Schallock admitted that the game against ECU wasn’t his best. His goal is to be longer than 42 yards per punt, but Saturday his punts went 32, 37, 38 and 18 yards. The last one, however, was partially blocked. “I have to forget about that game and move on to this next game,” the 67 junior said.
But Schallock could have an excuse for the ECU performance since he was working with a new deep snapper. Trevor Stuart tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee in the first series of the game, and Mark House had to step in. Although House was the deep snapper for six games of the 2008 season before fracturing his finger, he and Schallock never had been on the field in a game situation before, only practice. “It definitely caught me off guard,” House said. “I guess you kind of go into a game thinking you might play, but you never think that’s actually going to happen.” House said Saturday’s game went “OK,” but he took responsibility for the 18-yard punt since the snap was a little low. He said snapping to Schallock is different than snapping to anyone else because of his height. “It’s kind of great snapping to Grant because he’s such a big target,” House said. “It’s pretty hard to miss on Grant.” House also took over the snapping duties on field goals, which he said was a little nerve-racking since never had snapped for a field goal during a collegiate game. But House snapped for kicker Casey Barth at Wilmington Hoggard High, so he said that familiarity helped. House said a full week
of practice with the kickers and punters has made everyone more comfortable, and he expects to be better against Georgia Tech. “I think timing and everything like that will be on,” House said. And if Schallock’s punting doesn’t become more consistent, the Tar Heels have other options. Waiting in the wings is freshman C.J. Feagles, the son of New York Giants punter and 21-year NFL veteran Jeff Feagles. Davis said Feagles has good mechanics but, like most freshmen, it has taken some time for him to adjust to the speed of the college game.

We don’t think we have our problem completely solved on defense either, but we on working hard on it.” Asheboro (2-3) will be hungry for its chance to beat the defending 1-A champions, coming off a big 20-15 victory over the Trinity Bulldogs. The Blue Comets could be without quarterback Walter Rush, who injured his ankle last week and did not play the second half. They do feature a reasonably good rushing attack, which is something the THS defense has had trouble defending in the past. “They are a team with good size and have enough team speed to be a formidable opponent,” said Brown. “Of course when you are getting beat, everybody looks good to you anyway, so we think we have a worthy opponent here, and it should be a great way to end up the nonconference season.”

Punctuation Matters
jacket art © 2006 by Bonnie Timmons, published by Putnam Juvenile
Have you ever had trouble figuring out what somebody’s writing meant? Maybe that was because the writer didn’t use proper punctuation (PUNK-chuh-WAY-shun). Punctuation marks, such as commas and periods, help us understand the written language. In honor of National Punctuation Day, Sept. 24, The Mini Page talked with Lynne Truss, author of three punctuation books for kids.
“Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make A Difference!” shows how punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence.
The phrase “eats, shoots & leaves” was supposed to be about what a panda eats, which is shoots* and leaves of bamboo. The phrase should have been “eats shoots and leaves.” But in a book about animals, the comma was put in the wrong place. This way, it looked as if the panda ate its dinner, took a shot at something, and then left. *Shoots are new stems and branches.
And along came technology After the printing press was invented almost 600 years ago, people started making more rules about punctuation. Readers needed to know where one idea ended and a new one began. Now, right before our eyes, technology is changing the rules again. Some people leave out capital letters and periods in e-mails and text messages. These writers invent their own rules. People also use a lot of exclamation points and question marks when texting and e-mailing. Lynne said: “I love the way people punctuate texts. One of the main features of punctuation is that it gives the reader the sound and rhythm of the writer’s voice — exclaiming, querying*, pausing, stopping or running on very fast.”
Who thought of punctuation, anyway? “Punctuation was invented mainly as a way of telling the reader, ‘These words go together’ and ‘These words need to be kept apart, otherwise the meaning isn’t clear,’” Lynne Truss said. “Without punctuation, the meaning of a bunch of words can be much harder to work out!” Since the beginning of writing, people have used different marks to add more information to written words. For example, ancient Greeks had a system of dots to tell actors how much breath to take before a word or a phrase in a speech.
*Query (KWIR-ee) means to ask questions.

Supersport: Philip Rivers Height: 6-5 Birthplace: Decatur, Ala. Weight: 228 So Philip Rivers might not have a “classic” throwing motion. So what! Just put him at quarterback, and his teams win. It happened at his high school in Alabama. It happened in his four years at North Carolina State. And it has happened in his three seasons as a starter with the San Diego Chargers. Since taking over as the No. 1 QB in 2006, Rivers has posted a 25-7 record as a starter and led the Chargers to three straight AFC West titles. In 2008 he posted the top quarterback rating (105.5) in the National Football League while passing for 4,009 yards and 34 touchdowns. The son of a high school coach, Rivers has a high football IQ. Tall, tough and talented, he dissects defenses, sees the open receiver and finds ways to win. Rivers is more than an elite quarterback, however. He’s a devoted family man, and founded a charity — the Rivers of Hope Foundation — that helps place foster children in stable homes. Now he’s back on the field, ready to give the Chargers stability at quarterback once again.
The Key to Understanding The importance of punctuation
Changing the meaning
Even though rules may be changing for text-messaging and e-mailing, the rules have not changed for regular writing. If you are writing school papers, letters or a book, commas and other punctuation marks are still needed. Punctuation marks help the reader figure out your message in texts and e-mails too. Use the punctuation rules that fit what you’re writing.
See how a comma changes the meaning of these two sentences:
If you put a punctuation mark in the wrong place, it can completely change the meaning of the sentence. For example, look at these two sentences. How does the comma change the meaning?
“Anya walked on her head, a little higher than usual.”
Call me Tom.
Call me, Tom.
Advice to kids “The main thing (about punctuation) is to notice it!” Lynne said. “Reading is not just getting the sense off the page; it’s also about hearing the words; following an argument; listening.”
“Anya walked on, her head a little higher than usual.”

The Punctuation Marks
All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?
At the end
The colon and semicolon
The period, question mark and exclamation point all come at the end of a sentence. They tell the reader about the writer’s or speaker’s tone of voice. The period shows the writer is making a simple statement. “Ali did her homework as soon as she got home.” The question mark is exactly what it sounds like: It shows someone is asking a question. “Ali, have you done your homework yet?”
The colon and semicolon “are very useful marks,” Lynne said. “Even more than the comma, they say, ‘Stop here a minute and look around.’ Both of them are ways of joining bits of a sentence.” With a colon, the second part of the sentence explains the first part. For example, “Becky couldn’t speak: She was so shy.” A semicolon links two thoughts together. For example, “I remember Becky when she was little; now she’s so grown-up.”
The important little comma
“The comma is the most important mark, after the period,” Lynne said. “I like to think of it as a helpful sheepdog, rounding up the words that go together, and penning them safely away from the words that would confuse things. “I think of the comma as a little red flag planted in the sentence at the right spot to say, ‘Hey, pay attention here. This sentence is doing The apostrophe more than you might think.’” Apostrophes are used to show words are possessive, as in “the cat’s paws,” (one cat) The or “the dogs’ leashes” (two or more exclamation dogs). (They are not used to make point shows words plural.) somebody is Apostrophes are also used to show surprised or letters have been taken out of a excited. “Yahoo! I word, as in “don’t” instead of “do not.” Lynne said, “The simplest use of am all done with the comma is in a list.” For example, my homework!” “The colors of Next week The Mini Page is about the flag are firefighters battling wildfires. red, white, and Add` i]gdj\] i]Z Vgi^XaZh VcY VYh ^c ndjg blue.” cZlheVeZg# E^X` V [Zl hZciZcXZh# =dl YdZh i]Z bZVc^c\ X]Vc\Z ^[ ndj X]Vc\Z i]Z ejcXijVi^dc4

Coach Lingerfelt said he thinks they have improved over the past few games and that they will have to continue their hard work if they want to stop Ledfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a well coached team and they
HOF quarterback urges prostate awareness SIGHTS
From page 7
Len Dawson took hard hits for 19 years as a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. But the shots from the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best linebackers paled in comparison with a hit he took long after his football career was over. In 1991, Dawson was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As an athlete who always paid attention to his health and was physically fit even after his retirement from the game, the diagnosis was a shock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctor was really cheerful until after the examination, then his demeanor changed abruptly,â&#x20AC;? Dawson recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I found something there that I think you need to look into. You need to have a biopsy and ultrasonic images to check out what it isâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? For men, prostate cancer can be a silent threat they prefer not to talk about. It is the second leading cause of male cancer-related deaths in the United States, and in 2009, an estimated 192,000 men will be diagnosed
HIGH From page 7 last time I participated. That brings me to fantasy football, where the events of about a seven hour stretch were beyond comprehension. The biggest disappointment of them all was quarterback Tom Brady of the mighty New England Patriots. Playing against the New York Jets, Brady was projected to get me 19 points, instead limping to a score of seven after failing to pass for a single touchdown. As I went down the list of my players while watching StatTracker, the results did not get better. Greg Jennings put up a goose-egg, and it is never a good sign when your kicker is your highest scorer for the week. Projected for 93 points, my team brought home a league-worst 51 points. Tennessee running back Chris Johnson almost beat my team himself, posting a score of 45. Putting the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events in the past, I looked forward to a podium finish by our team in the Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Golf Tournament at Winding Creek. That too, did not go according to plan. Our team watched putt after putt twirl around the cup and fall out, as we finished with a team total of 55, eight strokes off the lead. But you know what? None of the aforementioned events mattered at all after what took place on Tuesday. My wife and I found out our first child is going to be a girl, making my sour attitude in the days leading up seem pointless. Seeing the smile on my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face when the sex was revealed beats any fantasy championship or regular championship for that matter. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think for one minute that a little girl is going to soften up my competitive nature, but my priorities are going to shift in a different direction. I get told all of the time it is just a
game, and I am starting to realize that. Sports play a huge role in my life, but when push comes to shove, there are more important things in this world. Maybe my team does not always win and maybe we could have made a
the cancer had spread throughout his body.â&#x20AC;? To help educate other men about the dangers of prostate cancer and the importance of seeing a doctor, Dawson has joined forces with Kimberly-Clark and several other sports legends in The Depend Campaign to End Prostate Cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For men managing incontinence due to prostate health issues, every time you buy Depend products for men, proceeds from that purchase will contribute to an overall donation of $250,000 to ZERO -- The Project to End Prostate Cancer,â&#x20AC;? Dawson said. Dawson hopes that sharing his experience will inspire men to talk to other men about this serious issue and to be proactive about their own prostate health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My personal advice to men 40 years of age and older is to get tested every year, because if you stay on top of the situation, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take care of the situation, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die of prostate cancer. Go see a doctor, get tested.â&#x20AC;?

Playing a grueling non-conference schedule so far, Ledford had struggled to put points on the scoreboard but their offense seems to have a found its groove as they have continually improved over the course of the early season. Sophomore running back De Greene led the Panthers attack last week with a pair of touchdowns, including an impressive 86yard scamper on special teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ledford challenges so much with the type of perimeter running game that they have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of their offense is set up off of that.

Dawson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She encouraged me to go, and it was the best decision because that doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit saved my life.â&#x20AC;? Some men arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as lucky. Dawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Ronald, died from prostate cancer, and many of his family members, including Len, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know he had the disease because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ronald was a paratrooper in World War II, and he was the type of individual that never really talked about the war, his health or anything to anyone,â&#x20AC;? Dawson explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His symptoms had to show before he would take action and finally go to the doctor. The problem was that by that time, it was too late, and
always have a good game plan that they prepare for, so it is going to be a big challenge for our defense throughout the night.â&#x20AC;? The only injury that East Davidson has sustained has been at the inside linebacker position. Nate Bundy stepped up last week to fill the spot and is learning to play at the faster paced tempo at the varsity level. Ledford coach Chuck Henderson was unable to be reached for comment.

TIMES STAFF REPORT
ASHEBORO—The North Carolina Zoo’s newest exhibit, a group of five man-made geysers, already has visitors and zoo staff gushing over its authenticity. The new exhibit, located at the Prairie Exhibit in the North America region, will officially open Saturday, Sept. 26, at 11 a.m. Of the new geysers’ five “spouts,” four are smaller and erupt continuously, reaching two to eight feet in height, while the main spout bursts 20 to 40 feet high about every five minutes. A wooden deck brings visitors right up to this unusual fountain. Built by the zoo’s staff and private contractors, the fountain uses regular drinking water that is recirculated. An automatic timer starts the fountain in the morning and turns it off in the evening. On exceptionally windy days, the geyser may not erupt because of the zoo’s water-conservation practices.

The North Carolina Zoo’s new geyser exhibit — located in the Prairie Exhibit in North America — will open to the public on Saturday. Across the planet, geysers are rare. Scientists know of only about 1,000 of them, and half of those are in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. In addition to its excitement and beauty, the gey-
ser exhibit is designed to help remind zoo visitors of the importance of stewardship of our national parks and our public lands. This exhibit was made possible through contributions from an anony-
mous donor to the N.C. Zoo Society and from zoo revenues. The zoo is an agency of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Dee Freeman, Secretary; Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor.

“It seems obvious that kids should be active during the day, but there’s so much academic pressure,” said Laurie Stradley with Be Active. “It’s difficult to find those minutes to get the kids up and moving. If we start to change the culture of the school we’re going to get better results than if we just jam more instruc-
From page 1 about another statement that said the county “needs to be sure” that its zoning works toward reducing the rate of growth into rural areas. “If we’re going to zone something to reduce the rate of growth, then we’re going to prohibit or prevent people from selling their land for development,” McClure said. “If that’s what we’re saying, I don’t want that to be there.” Cornman said that the line was there to discourage high-density growth and multi-family housing in rural area. McClure responded that he didn’t want to include anything that the board didn’t mean. “A lawyer will stand up there and kick it back to us, someday,” said Commissioner Sam Watford. “You can bet on that, because they do it all the time.” The board agreed to add “high-density” into the wording of the statement, as well as another one encouraging growth in targeted areas near existing towns and cities. In addition, the board requested that a section about residential housing being a detriment to the county be struck from the plan, because there was no factual evidence to back it up. Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley requested that a section be added to the plan to encourage all municipalities to support local farmer’s markets, especially in communities like Arcadia, Reeds and Southmont which don’t currently have such markets. The board will discuss the plan again at its Oct. 12 meeting. Once the land development plan is approved, the board will move on to the county zoning ordinance. “The idea behind this is to get the commissioners to take the rezoning process out of an emotionally charged atmosphere, where they’re making snap decisions based on the number of faces that they see for or against the rezoning,” Cornman said. “The job is just to try to make their job easier.”
