NewBridge Bank in Thomasville handed out two pieces of good news for the price of one Thurs-day morning on Randolph Street.

Just a few hundred feet from where NewBridge opened in Thom-asville more than two decades ago, the bank celebrated the launch of a new offi ce at 919 Randolph St. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new two-story facility not only marked the end of NewBridge’s stay at its original building, but the beginning of a promise the bank made to Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce.

“We are very happy to be part of this area and part of this city,” Tony Hyde, the Thomasville City executive for NewBridge Bank, said. “Twenty-three years ago this month we moved into the building next door. It’s only fi tting that we unveil this building to the city. We are ecstatic to open our new Ran-dolph Street location as we donate the former offi ce to the Thom-asville Area Chamber of Com-merce.”

As part of an economic develop-ment plan called “Thomasville on the Move,” NewBridge Bank do-nated the building to the chamber, which in turn will transform the structure into its new home. Press-ley Ridgill, CEO of NewBridge Bank, presented chamber presi-dent Doug Croft and Keith Tobin, chamber chairman, the keys to the building at 941 Randolph St., offi cially starting a process that should change the face of Thomas-ville business for the foreseeable future.

“This is an exciting time,” said

Ridgill. “It’s always fun when you get to come do something like this and open a new branch, and this is one of the prettiest ones we’ve got for sure. We’re glad to be here.”

Croft said the chamber will start the transformation process imme-diately and the project is expected to take between eight to 10 months. Hopes are the new Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce will be a more attractive headquarters for the organization, resulting in a better tool to lure prospective businesses to the city. “Thomas-ville on the Move” is a fi ve-year, four-part strategic plan initiated by the chamber as a way to re-in-vest back to the city and make it a more viable option for businesses. Part of the plan included moving

Salon earns Business of the Month honors

Tip, Toes, & Tans, Too takes Business of the Monthhonors for the month of April.

With budget cuts looming from the state govern-ment, jobs still remain a top concern. And the fi ve Republican candidates for Davidson County Board of Commissions who didn’t attend the April 9 com-missioners forum were all eager to address the is-sues.

Many ideas for revitalizing the economy in David-son County stemmed from using resources already in the area.

“We need to get together as a county and take an inventory of what we have available and how we can promote those assets to bring jobs and tourism to Davidson County,” said Dwight Cornelison, Lex-ington resident and former Thomasville City Coun-cil member.

Cornelison pointed to High Rock Lake and the Chair City Cruisers — a group that showcases an-

Republican candidates have different views for job creation

accent of zebra screams a fashion statement.

And Tip, Toes, & Tans, Too defi nitely wanted to make a statement when it changed location from West Main Street to 5 Commerce St.

“It’s very girly,” said owner Lori Falls. “It’s very feminine.”

The new building used to be a pet-grooming place, and the 10-year-old nails, pedi-cure and massage company came in to give the building itself a makeover.

“We pretty much gutted the inside of it,” Falls said. “We re-did everything.”

That drastic overhaul of the building’s aesthetics

earned Tip, Toes & Tans, Too the Beautifi cation Com-mittee’s honorary Business of the Month for April.

“It really looks nice now,” said Carol Brown, director of the committee.

And Falls says she can al-ready feel the difference be-tween the old and the new.

“The other site was white,” she said. “This is much more vibrant. And just being able to see out and having windows — we love the street.”

That brighter, less re-stricted feel seems to have impacted customers as well. Falls said people have com-mented on the new look and the new atmosphere.

“It is more open,” she said. “They say it’s more welcoming.”

When it comes to GeraldHege, there seems to be nomiddle ground. Much likeDale Earnhardt Sr., a manhe willingly c o m p a r e s himself to, people either love him or hate him — and Hege understands that.

“That’s just the way it is with me,” Hege said.

The 61-year-old formersheriff of Davidson County,who was removed from of-fi ce six years ago, has re-turned to the political scenewith hopes of regaining theposition that made him anational persona. Only thisis not the same Hege fromyears past. The meteoriccrash that ended with himpleading guilty to two fel-ony obstruction of justicecounts has left its mark andresulted in a changed manwho wants one last shot atredemption.

“You learn from it and I’velearned from it,” said Hegeof his conviction. “WhetherI win the election or not, I’vebeen a better person in thelast eight years and a differ-ent person. You look at lifedifferently. I don’t blameanyone for it or any of that.What happened to me, Itook it on the chin and losta lot.”

be understated. Ever since he made his inten-tions to run for offi ce known, Hege’s presence transformed the primary into a battlefi eld, where lines are drawn in the sand between those who want him back and those who want nothing to do with him.

To Hege, it’s all part of the process.

“The reward for me is just being out there,” Hege said. “I’m a people person. The difference between [candidates] is that I love this stuff. I get goosebumps just talking about it. I love going out there and talking to peo-ple and putting up yard signs.”

With less than two weeks to go before the May 4 primary, Hege is feeling pretty good job about his chances, es-pecially with 4,800 yard signs throughout the county. Considering in-cumbent sheriff David Grice and challenger Terry Price combined for slightly more than 5,000 votes four years ago, Hege feels simple math tells him he has a shot.

“Everybody has read every article, seen the media and read the af-fi davits for seven years, and you still get 4,800 peo-ple who are saying that this guy, regardless of his warts, was a dag gum good crime fi ghter,” said Hege. “I’ve been to 840 some houses since Au-gust, going door to door. I sit right in their living room and I say here I am, I’m Gerald Hege, ask me anything about my life, my sheriffi ng, the charg-es, the affi davits.

“The only reason why Price and Grice don’t

have 4,800 yard signs out there is that those peo-ple haven’t called them. People aren’t saying sheriff Grice bring me a yard sign or Terry Price bring me a yard sign. If they were, they would be there. They’re not going to not bring someone a sign. With this amount of time left, they’re going to have to get a lot of phone calls.”

Hege knows politics and understands the game. In his eyes, one yard sign is worth more than 50 signs on the side of the road. Hege catalogs all of his yard signs, know-ing what sign should be in what yard. If he sees a sign at a right of way, he collects it, fi nds out who it belongs to and tries to return it. If the person doesn’t want the sign, he takes it home.

A key factor that seems to side with Hege is that his supporters have al-ready made up their mind and will vote for his return regardless. Those wanting to keep him out will have to select Price or Grice, odds Hege will take.

“Mathematically, my people have one choice, their people have two,” said Hege. “They’re in a position where they’re fi ghting each other. They’ve spent their en-tire three months now campaigning against me when they should’ve been campaigning for the job for sheriff.”

Hege has managed to keep a pretty low profi le during his campaign in an effort to avoid trading jabs through the media. This comes from the time he spent under intense scrutiny for his trans-gressions and the impact it had on he and his fam-ily. Going through that left Hege thinking more about how words affect

the lives of others. “I learned that be-

fore you call somebody a scumbag or a lowlife, you need to sit back and think about No. 1 why did that person do that, what caused that person to do that and how did that affect his family,” said Hege. “That’s why I haven’t said anything abut Price or Grice be-cause after my ordeal, it hurt my family 100 times more than it hurt me, which was bad. I have no hard feelings towards none of these guys.”

What Hege will say is that while he respects Grice, having known him for more than 40 years, the current sheriff doesn’t enjoy the campaign pro-cess, and if he really was doing a good job in the public’s eyes, neither challenger would defeat him. Hege recalls win-ning a primary shortly after three of his offi cers went to prison, something that normally would de-stroy a campaign, yet he still managed to garner more than 8,000 votes in an easy victory.

Hege did face more than a dozen felony charges and was accused of indis-cretions involving racial profi ling, reckless use of his famous spider car and embezzlement. Having served his punishment, though, Hege believes it’s time for his second chance, despite efforts by some to remove his name from the ballot on the grounds he is a convicted felon, therefore can not be in the custody or care of fi rearms.

“It all goes back to the constitution,” Hege said. “The guys that wrote the constitution realized that 80 percent of people are going to make mistakes at some point in their life-time and you can’t punish everybody for life, unless

it’s a capital offense. “When I used to have

my show on Court TV, I ended the show every night the same way. I would say ‘look guys you made a mistake, you’re in here and you’re ready to get out. Go on back out and get a job, get squared away. I’ll even help you get a job.’ I have no res-ervations about running for sheriff because the constitution allows me that. I didn’t like the fact [president] Bill Clinton lied to Congress and the American people about that woman, but he came out, as bad as I hate to say this, one of the best presidents of my lifetime. Coming from an old die-hard southern Republi-can, that’s hard to say. I’m a fi rm believer that when you make a mistake you should be punished for it and be serious about it.”

Win or lose, Hege said this is probably it for him running for public of-fi ce, feeling that despite keeping himself in good shape, he is getting too old for the process. He said he may consider a run for county commis-sioner some day, but isn’t sure. As a self-described fi eld general who was once called a “mailbox-to-murder sheriff ” for his vigilance to all crimes, the Vietnam veteran can’t see himself behind a desk.

Come May 4, just how many people love Hege and how many don’t will determine the Republican candidate. Hege wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sometimes computers can drive me absolutely insane! For example, losing my pointer, being in the middle of writing an important document and the computer says, “Goodbye!” Writing a note to a friend and it ends up in La-La Land, never to be found again.Being online and the computer decides it’s time to update. Writing a document and get-ting ready to send and instead you delete it! Of course, I should have had sense enough when I start to hit the save button. You are in a very important discussion with a friend, and you get thrown offl ine. Or, beginning to write some-thing and the words get all twisted up and you can’t even read it when

it is completed. The list could go on and on, but I will stop with this. This makes me think of a story I read once about a big computer blunder.

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a par-ticular icy, snowy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honey-moon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, the husband left Minnesota and fl ew to Florida on Thursday, and his wife fl ew down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so being a good husband, he decided to send his wife an e-mail.

However, he acciden-tally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and, without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. Now to me this a very devastating time in anyone’s life and my heart goes out to them! He was a minister who had a heart attack and died. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the fi rst message, she screamed, got hysterical, and began to run around the room and fainted, dead as a door nail in the middle of the living room fl oor!

Well, “Uncle Bill,” would react the same way if this happened to me! The widow’s son rushed into the room and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving WifeSubject: I’ve ArrivedDate: October 16, 2004I know you are sur-

prised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. I understand that you will arrive around 11 a.m. I will meet you then!

Looking forward to seeing you. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine!

P.S. It sure is hor-ribly hot down here!

Take care, be good, and if you see me driving my PT Cruiser around town, give me a honk a wave or a hollar.

Gayle and I celebrated our 38th anniversary on the 9th of April. I am a lucky man. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Early in our plans to celebrate our anniversary, we decided to visit historic Savannah.

If you haven’t been to Savannah, plan to do so soon. It is a beautiful historic town especially during the spring when all the azaleas are in bloom. Buy your ticket and board one of those “sight seeing” trolleys and see all the historic places. Then go down by the river and just sit and relax, “people watching” as we did. By the way there is no shortage of good eat-ing places, also there seems to be no shortage of folks taking a vacation because of high gas prices or unem-ployment as the highways were packed and Savan-nah had lots of tourists.

Gayle had planned our itin-erary for the trip. Our son Keith and daughter-in-law Pat had visited Bonaventure Cemetery and told us this was one place we didn’t want to miss. Boy, am I glad we went there. Oak trees that are hundreds of years old cov-ered in Spanish moss, thou-sands of azaleas in bloom while we were there. Massive monuments and sculptures made this 160-acre cemetery unbelievably beautiful.

I suppose many of you may recall Johnny Mercer, one of America’s most popular song writers. He wrote more than one thousand lyrics, received four Oscars and produced several Broadway shows. He was Co-Founder of Capitol Records. His family plot had a bench with a silhouette of him with his signature. Engraved on the bench were the titles of 14 of his most fa-mous songs including: “The Days of Wine and Roses.” “Hooray for Hollywood,”

“Laura.” “Moon River,” “Autumn Leaves,” Blues in the Night” were a few.

There is also a bronze statute of Mercer on one of the town squares.

Clint Eastwood featured the Bonaventure Cem-etery when he directed the movie, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

There is a lot of history in Savannah. We plan to go back again to see the many things we didn’t see this time.

• • •We attended the Com-

munities in Schools of Thomasville fundraiser and presentation of “Dancing in the Moonlight” this past Sat-urday night at the home of Dr. David and Jane Williams. The Tom Holladay Orchestra provided the music for danc-ing and listening pleasure. Pepper Moon Catering provided the delicious food.

Communities in Schools of Thomasville performs an outstanding service for the children of Thomasville by “Helping Kids Stay in School and Prepare for Life.” If the event is held again next year, we plan to attend. Hope you will consider it too!

• • •I have learned that several

Thomasville veterans were able to fl y to Washington last Saturday as a part of the “Flight of Honor” program. Winfred Armentrout, John Cranford, Curry Regan, Glenn Leonard, and Roger Boles traveled to Washing-ton from PTI and spent the day in the nation’s capital.

I have been impressed with TV News coverage of the veterans as they visit the WWII Memorial and other sites in Washington. I would love to be at the airport when these veterans return from these trips and to give them thumbs up and a salute.

Editor Lisa Wall has in-dicated that the Times will assemble a special Memorial Day insert for inclusion in the Saturday, May 29 edition. Included in that Saturday edition will be interviews with “Flight of Honor” par-ticipants as well as other Me-morial Day stories and inter-views and information on the “North Carolina Memorial Day Parade” to be held here at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 31.

• • •The 7th annual Spring

Daze event is sponsored by Thomasville City Beautifi ca-

tion Committee, a group of volunteers who oversee the beautiful fl owers around the city, & various other proj-ects. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 1 from 9 a.m until 3 p.m. on Main Street, rain or shine.

This year will be the largest year yet with more than 80 spaces fi lled with fl owers, plants, vegetables, garden accessories, outdoor furniture, outdoor build-ing, pottery, jewelry and more. The food vendors will be in the depot parking lot with a great selection of food, and in the bandstand will be music by New Wine, Forty Days, Kelly Craver, Shining Light Singers and The Gospel Sensations.

There is something for everyone: for the children there will be the Smoke House by Fair Grove Fire Dept, the Thomasville Fire Dept. & Thomasville Police Dept. will provide info, other vendors will offer face paint-ing, free items and activities.

The Davidson County Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer any question and provide information, The Farmers Market will be selling strawberries and the Davidson Soil and Water Con-servation will have educa-tion on “No-till gardening.”

The Beautifi cation Com-mittee has new postcards of Thomasville’s Big Chair and Thomasville for sale at their booth. All proceeds will go toward the work of City Beautifi cation.

The Beautifi cation Com-mittee’s Litter Sweep contin-ues this morning at 9 a.m. You don’t have to be a mem-ber of the Committee to help.I picked up litter in the East Davidson area on Earth Day (this past Thursday) since I was going to be out of town today. But, I’m not through yet. I picked up 387 cans, plastic and glass bottles from the roadside in an area about the length of two football fi elds. That didn’t included “Fast Food” Wrappers; ciga-rette packs and other litter. We’ve got to do better than this. I imagine a citation to court for littering might make a difference. How aboutit Sheriff Deputies, Police Offi cers and State Troopers.

To the EditorLord, please send us lead-

ers who know and live in your Spirit of truth and grace, so that the dilemmas of the common man all over the world may be resolved, as your world, will and way have long ago, and to the day, revealed so clearly for all who hunger, seek, dis-cover and want to do it.

A case in point, among a good baker’s dozen of major gut issues, is the the corrup-tion of Social Security as one reliable undergirding of our economy. Too many take pot shots at Social Security and want to further cripple or destroy it without understand-ing the perspective into which it was born and continues to benefi t the maintenance of democratic freedom.

It was never a gift of govern-ment for whomever elected or appointed offi cials might be to spread around to solicit votes for the immorally ambitious. It was mandated by law that all citizens pay into it for their possible future need in retire-ment years. It was established, at least presented so, for retirement needs and no other, not gifts to those who did not pay into it, and only accord-ing to the amounts paid in.

Yet, it has been bastardized by criminal control of Con-gress who annually rip off the original trust by embezzling from it with IOUs, additional taxes, welfare doles, illegal im-migrant support, et al. It was not designed as a congressio-nal emergency fun. Annually, this embezzlement by Con-gress of the balance of funds not needed to pay “earned” supplements to current year retirees is spent, essentially, on pork barrel items galore, rather than as intended as an additional deposit for future needs into what has long been know as “The Trust Fund.” The big question is: into who “trust” is it placed, and when will it be paid back, so there will be no foreseeable need to revise further one of the great dreams of President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt to stabilize the future of America?

Even now, the search for funds to reduce our national debt and not add further to it has many eyeing not the non-existant embezzled “trust fund,” but how further to tax and reduce payouts to the citizens who faithfully paid into this national trust.

And it was not for the capri-cious squandering on every unnecessary nuance dreamed up by Big Pharma that usually is a criminal invention that promised by every deception known to man what it cannot deliver (and what food supple-ments can). Medicare, like most titles seeking to delude

the public, is a multi-headed economic monster controlled by Big Pharma’s exorbitant greed, reaching deeper in to the pockets of all citizens, probing the ultimate fear of man for life and health. It is probably the major cause for the crippling of our economy by bankrupting many small businesses until larger businesses could more easily default and reward their senior executives with pay-offs that stagger the mind and further destroy the reasonable American dream. Sept. 11, has appeared to many the trigger causing our economic break-down, but it has been only a scapegoat to cover free trade failure.

Finally, our economy cannot be restored without equal-izing free trade by nationally imposing tariffs and allowing market conditions too re-establish indigenous needs, which can bring industries and jobs back to each nation accordingly and trade as mu-tually desired, thus reducing the hunt for taxes from Social Security because of rebuild-ing our citizen’s “monetary commodity-exchange circles.” Where are our visionary young patriots today?

To the EditorModerating candidate

forums here for over three decades allowed me to get to know hundreds of politi-cians and political wannabes. This year, reading letters to the newspapers and at-tending candidate forums has been an eye opener.

Looking closely at the candi-dates seeking the seat of Sixth District incumbent Howard Coble, you realize that the voters don’t know how lucky they are and have been to have Howard as our representative. Howard Coble is not only our Congressman, he is our rep-resentative. He works for us.

Howard Coble is acces-sible. When you need him he is there to help you navigate the federal bureaucracy.

He is there for us and he and his staff can make things happen. I know of many examples but a personal one tells the story. We had planned a family vacation, the fi rst in over 25 years. One son forgot to renew his passport. Howard and his staff made it happen. We got the passport and enjoyed the family trip.

We need Howard Coble in Washington. We need him to represent us. We know what he believes in. A vote for How-ard Coble on May 4 will be an investment in our future. We have had enough “change.”

tique cars in Thomas-ville.

“I’d like to see the county get behind that and make it more well-known,” Cornelison said. “I think we’ve got to look at our county and see what all we’ve got avail-able.”

Joseph Byerly, of Lex-ington, also emphasized capitalizing on events al-ready in the county, such as the Barbecue Festival.

“We defi nitely have to have more tourism to help this county,” Byerly said.

New to the political scene, Byerly also says that offering a slight tax benefi t to new businesses for the fi rst two years will help get companies on their feet.

Todd Yates, of Lexing-ton, focused more on re-cruiting new companies to the county, emphasiz-ing what he referred to as the county’s biggest as-sets, Interstate-85.

“I’d like to get some sew-er and water out there to promote business,” Yates said.

A business-owner him-self — he owns Yates Dis-posal as well as a bridge building company and a grating and paving com-pany — Yates says he understands the woes of small businesses. A year ago his company employed 40 people. Now it employees 15. “Things are just really tough out here right now,” he said.

Yates said that he has a few connections in the business community that may be able to bring in new companies. If the other business owners in the area put their heads together, he said, they may be able to come up with more.

“I’d try to get some small business owners into a small committee and try to fi gure out how we can move some other businesses this way,” Yates said.

Eric Osborne, of Thom-asville, also emphasized the importance of bring-ing in new companies.

“We should be able to recruit companies without giving incen-tives,” Osborne said in an e-mail. “And if we go give them incentives, we should hold companies

to it and make sure they follow up on their prom-ise to hire the number of people they said they would hire.”

Other issues Osborne says he would like to ad-dress are a fl at tax rate in the county, the elimina-tion of tax evaluations, tax breaks for active mili-tary and veterans, and no taxes for citizens over the age of 65.

Osborne also says that if elected, he will relin-quish his pay.

“I am working for the people, not the party,” he said.

Cornelison says he wants to keep his eye on the prayer issue at gov-ernment meetings as well as look at lowering prop-erty values.

“Our property values are way too high,” he said. “People who are doing improvements to their homes and busi-nesses are then getting stuck with much higher evaluations than I think they should be getting.”

One couple spent $4,000 on paving their driveway, and the assessment on the house increased by $30,000, Cornelison says.

“I don’t think it’s fair,” he said. “It think it’s hold-ing back the county.”

To remedy the situa-tion, Cornelison suggests an increase in the dis-count to early payment of property tax.

Also running for coun-ty commissioner on the Republican ticket are Sam Watford, Don Truell, Owen Moore, Billy Joe Kepley, Eddie Gallimore, Kenneth Cavender and Larry Allen, who were all present at the forum on April 9.

Staff Writer Erin Wilt-gen can be reached at 888-3576 or at [email protected].

City reports two wastewater spills

The City of Thomas-ville had a wastewater spill on April 20, 2010, of an estimated volume of 11,700 gallons of untreat-ed wastewater from two manholes by the bridge on Mason Way.

The cause of the spill was vandalism. An indi-vidual or individuals had placed metal fence posts and rip-rap stone into a manhole and blocked the fl ow of the wastewater.

The spill was called in at 7:15 a.m. that day, locat-ed at 7:28 a.m. and stopped by 8:27 am. Crews worked until noon to remove the debris that had been placed in the manhole. Approximately 11,200 gal-lons of the wastewater entered North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

The Department of Emergency Management was notifi ed of the event on April 20 and is review-

ing the matter. For more information, contact the City of Thomasville at (336) 475-4220.

Another spill w as re-ported by the city on Monday of an estimated 5,600 gallons.

According to a news release, there was a un-treated wastewater spill from a sewer clean out on Carmalt Street that was found at 1 p.m. Monday by a worker looking for a water meter leak that had been called in. A jet truck was immediately dispatched and crews worked for more than an hour to clear the block-age and 45 minutes clear-ing debris. Unidentifi ed solid debris in a sanitary sewer line, which blocked the normal fl ow through the pipe, caused the spill. The wastewater entered North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

The Division of Water Quality is reviewing the matter.

EDHS drops Thomasville, 12-2WALLBURG — East Davidson has

three extremely challenging Central Carolina Conference games looming over the course of the next 10 days, but needed to make sure they did not over-look winless Thomasville.

They were not overly impressive, but did do the job they needed to win-ning 12-2 in six innings Friday at Finch Field.

“Obviously, Thomasville did not play as well as they would have liked too, and helped us out in some situations, but they played hard to the end and that is a tribute to their coach that he does not let the kids quit,” said EDHS head coach Dan Tricarico.

East (12-5, 6-1) collected 18 hits with seven different players getting two hits. Justin Weavil had three hits and three RBIs, Justin Mounts three hits, Keaton

Hawks three hits with a home run, Da-vin Lawson two hits with a 3-run homer, Justin Hulin two hits and an RBI, and Preston Gammons and Braxton Shetley each got two hits and two RBIs.

Tyler Lequire (6-3) pitched fi ve score-less innings of two-hit ball to get the win. He faced one batter over the mini-mum collecting six strikeouts. Taylor Warren pitched the fi nal inning yield-ing no hits but two runs.

“They are a tough team and we knew they could come out and hit the ball, which they did,” said Thomasville coach Brian Kennedy. “We just did not hit the ball again, and that was pretty much the game.”

Hawks struck for a home run to the opposite-fi eld off the net for a 1-0 East lead in the fi rst inning, but Thomas-ville held their own through two com-plete innings. TIMES PHOTO/ZACH KEPLEY

LHS, East battle to 1-1 tie

WALLBURG — Coach-es like to win, but East Davidson soccer coach Paul McIntyre came into Thursday’s nonconfer-ence clash with Ledford hoping for at least a stale-mate.

He got one.Nicole Atkinson scored

a goal for the Golden Ea-gles and Macy McCasland one for the Panthers, lead-ing to a 1-1 tie. Due to it being a non-league game, no overtime was played.

“We came up here and just wanted to compete,” said McIntyre. “I told them the pressure is not on us, it is on them, be-cause they beat us last game.”

Ledford indeed won the previous game 4-1, but found East to be a little better than the last time the two played.

Possession was fairly equal throughout the night, with a lot of action coming in the midfi eld.

Bowman Gray starts 62nd season today

With the season-opening Tucson 200 set for today, 2010 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons ever at Bowman Gray Stadium.

Defending Champion Tim Brown of Cana, VA will be battling for his ninth Stadium title — an accomplishment that would break the record for the most Modifi ed championships in the 62-year history of Bowman Gray Stadium.

Admitting to a fi shing rod

addiction

It’s hard to believe it’s April already. The fi sh are in the water and the weather couldn’t be better. I’ve been get-ting prepared for this season for a couple of months now. Fishing sounds pretty simple to a kid growing up in a small town without a father fi gure around. You fi nd a long stick, a piece of string and a safety pin. Don’t laugh, you can’t tell me you weren’t just as primitive in your resourcefulness when you were a kid.

I’ll admit, the fi sh in the creek at the park where I tried the stick, string and pin rig were only two inches long but fi shing for me was the challenge, not the meat.

When I got old enough to put real money into fi shing equipment I still didn’t have the knowledge for the best stuff. I remember going to a department store and buying the pack-age deal that came with the rod, reel, line and a small assortment of hooks and lures. I pridedmyself in my large selection of colored bobbers that were hand chosen one at a time and my bait of choice was the earth worm.

At the end of this

For the fi rst fi ve years of its existence, Greens-boro Grasshopper players and staff were greeted by a 50-foot blank concrete wall as they entered or exited their clubhouse to the playing fi eld.

“Anytime I was down-stairs I would look at that wall and think, it should would be nice to make it into a neat mural,” said Grasshoppers President and General Manager Donald Moore.

Late last season Moore contacted Northern High AP Art Teacher Wade Billeisen with the idea and Billeisen arranged for one of his students, Ashley Trogdon, to meet with Moore to see if she had any ideas for the wall.

“I needed to complete a Senior Project for gradua-tion, and I couldn’t think of anything more fun than combining my love of art and baseball,” said Trogdon, who is also the catcher on her school’s softball team. “I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to be a part of my city’s baseball

stadium. It is wonderful to know that my artwork is now a part of such an exciting organization,” Trogdon continued.

The mural is multi-colored, with the Grass-hoppers logo as a cen-terpiece, and includes baseballs as big as eight feet in diameter. The balls have famous quotes on them from baseball

legends such as SatchelPaige and Yogi Berra. Acity landscape is inter-woven between the base-balls.

“Ashley is incred-ibly talented and she hasclearly brought this areato life. I already see play-ers stop and admire herwork as they go by ontheir way to the fi eld,”Moore said.

month I’ll be celebrating 12 years of marriage to the fi sh whisperer. My husband, Dick, can talk a fi sh into the boat without even baiting his hook. Not really, but he sure knows how to fi sh. During those twelve years, he’s helped me understand the im-portance of good quality equipment as well as the appropriate rod for all of the situations I’d be en-countering.

I’ll start with my small-est rod fi rst and then work my way up to the biggest. My seven foot ul-tra light Hitech rod has 100 yards of 10-pound Stren braid line on a tiny Penn 4300 reel. It’ll throw up to ¼ ounce in a pinch but does best with 1/8 and lighter lures. It’s great for Hickory shad on the Roanoke River or spin-fi shing for trout and panfi sh. I can land a fair-ly good sized fi sh provid-ed I have room and the fi sh doesn’t get tangled up with something. I can also rig this outfi t with a bobber and worm or crappie minnow for pond fi shing. I chose the seven foot over the normal six foot or less because it allows me to cast further and with better preci-sion when I’m fi shing with a crappie jig.

My medium weight spinning outfi t is a seven foot Pfl ueger Medalist rod with matching reel that’ll hold 140 yards of 14-pound Fireline Fusion line that has the power to pull fi sh out of cover yet still allows a lot of line capacity. It handles 1/8 to ½ ounce lures easily and is easy to use. I use it in light salt water and fresh water with lures or live bait fi shing. It’s pretty much my middle of the road general purpose outfi t.

My casting rig for largemouth and river stripers is a 6 ½ foot Quantum rod with an Artemis small frame casting reel. It’ll hold around 110 yards of 14-pound test Stren line and handles from 3/8 to ¾ ounces comfort-ably and gives me more control when casting

under low hanging limbs or close to the bank.

A casting reel is harder to use because of the chance of a backlash and requires a learning curve to work it well, but it’s more comfort-able to use when casting a lot because of the low weight and the axis of the reel being so close to the center of the rod. The rod is light and bal-anced, giving me more control yet stout enough to land a 20-pound striper if I get lucky. It doesn’t hurt that it’s completely pink, either.

Since we live around fi ve hours from the ocean, I have two surf fi shing rods. The fi rst is a general purpose 9-foot Tica with a Pfl ueger Trion reel that holds 200 yards of 14-pound Stren clear line. The rod will throw up to 4 ounces of weight plus bait and, under good conditions, I can land a 40 inch drum or striper with it. It also works great throwing metal spoons for Spanish mackerel or bluefi sh. This outfi t is my standard weather and water surf rod and to fi nd it on the truck rod rack easier I chose the one with pink wraps.

My other surf rod is a heavy duty, huge rod and only needed in very rough fi shing conditions like those found at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The rod is a 12-foot long Tica and

is as thick as a broom handle close to the reel seat. The Okuma spin-ning reel holds 250 yards of 20-pound Stren Mono gold, making it easier to see at night; that’s when most of the really big surf fi sh are caught. This rod allows me to cast eight ounces plus bait around 80 yards into the surf and hold it out there in the heavy water and current. Some fi shermen can cast over 150 yards but I’ll settle with my 80. The wraps on this rod are also, you guessed it, PINK.

Well, I’ve got fi ve rods and they’ve covered ev-ery fi shing situation I’ve had in the last twelve years pretty success-fully. My husband has 34 rods, has been fi shing his whole life, and is still on the lookout for others to add to his collection. I don’t dare say anything because his comeback usually involves the amount of purses or shoes I have. I guess everybody has their own addiction to deal with.

would be to win the most championships at Bow-man Gray,” said Tim Brown. “I’m pretty much speechless.”

One of Brown’s fi ercest rivals in 2009 was Burt Myers of Walnut Cove, and Myers is determined to be a contender again in 2010. In fact, many predict that Myers will be the competitor to beat this season.

Myers started off the 2009 season with an ail-ing car and a host of poor fi nishes due to me-chanical problems. At the mid-point of the sea-son, Myers installed a new Ford motor and his performance took off. From then on, Myers won more races, led more laps, won more poles, and earned more points than any other Modifi ed com-petitor, although, at that point, it wasn’t enough to overtake Brown.

“For years over here, I don’t know if I really understood how down on horsepower I was until I got this Ford mo-tor,” said Myers. “Now the car doesn’t have to handle quite as well be-cause I can run down

the straightaway faster. I don’t want to say it makes my job easy, but it makes it a little easier. It takes a little bit of the stress off of me.”

“On starts and restarts — where I was able to just leap out in front of the fi eld and get me a cush-ion — the car was just perfect. Hopefully, we can come back with the Ford and take the win in the Tucson 200,” said Myers.

This Saturday’s Tuc-son 200 is the longest and most prestigious race of the season for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modifi ed Series — and for the second year in a row, the 200-lapper will feature the infamous dou-ble-fi le “Choice” restart. Each and every caution will give competitors the chance to pull up side-by-side in a heated battle for position.

Added to the mix for 2010 will be a stickier out-side row. With some extra tar being placed around the outer groove during the off-season, competi-tors taking to the outside will be able to grip the track more and travel at greater speeds. This has the potential to introduce a drastic change to strat-egy for restarts for the Tucson 200.

Eliot.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you

for your coverage of the Lady Eagles over the last

3 years. I appreciate your support and kind words

so much. I have kept a scrapbook for Elizabeth

for each of her 4 years as an EDHS athlete. I have

so many great articles in it, thanks to you, Zach,

and the Times. I know she will treasure all of the

wonderful memories and share them with her

own children and grandchildren someday.

They were one out away from getting out of a jam in the third with two runners on, but Da-vin Lawson powered the Golden Eagles to an even bigger lead. He found netting himself, blasting a 3-run shot to left fi eld that landed on top of the batting cage, moving East out to a 4-0 cushion.

An RBI single by Hulin tacked another run in the fourth, then the Ea-gles blew the game open in the fi fth with three runs to lead 8-0.

Four more runs were added in the sixth, as East batted around and brought the mercy rule into play leading 12-0.

Lequire was rested for the fi nal inning as Warren came on for his fi rst pitching action of the season. He was wild at times, allowing three

walks and uncorking a couple of wild pitch-es. Thomasville (2-13, 0-7) fought to the end scratching for two runs, but could not keep the game alive with Korey Hilbourn popping up to Warren for the last out.

With a lot on East’s plate the next few days, Tricarico wants to see improvement. Even with 18 hits and pretty good pitching by Lequire, he was not 100 percent pleased with the game,

but was happy to get thewin.

“We were not realsharp pitching-wise, andeven offensively we werenot as sharp,” said Tri-carico. “We have somebig games coming upwhere we need to be atour best. No matter whatthe score, we need to stilldo things the way we aresupposed to.”

BRIEFSFrom page B4

Ashley Eddleman was the workhorse for the Panthers while Taylor Hallman countered for East.

Both set up teammates for fi rst half scoring op-portunities, but had no points to show for after the opening 40 minutes.

A lot of Ledford’s scor-ing chances were taken away due to offside pen-alties. It was a plan Mc-Intyre had coming into the game that his defense executed precisely.

“Their coach was smart running an offside trap,” said LHS head coach Adam Duncan. “We were in onside position a lot of times, but that last de-fender was stepping up at the last second playing smart defense.”

McIntyre had a big smile on his face after-wards, as Ledford was off-sides more than 10 times.

“Those girls are su-per fast, so that is the only thing we had and it worked,” he said.

As the clock ticked under 20 minutes, there were still a pair goose eggs on the scoreboard, but a point was about to go up as East earned a corner kick.

Haley Grimsley drove a low liner near the goal crease that slid all the way through to the back post. Atkinson placed herself into position and poked it through, putting the Eagles in the scoring column fi rst.

“Honestly, I did not see it,” said Duncan. “I was talking to one of my play-ers, but it had to be mis-communication.”

Eddleman kept feed-ing front line players McCasland and Kaitlyn Hamm the ball into free space for runs at the goal, but one or the other were constantly being called for an offside penalty.

Beginning to show a little more patience, Mc-Casland waited for anoth-er pass from Eddleman and broke through the defense with seven min-utes to go. She chipped the ball up and off the hands of goalie Addie Grubb, and the ball made its way over the line for the equalizer.

“We have a young goal-ie and with experience she will be tough, but she still played a great game,” McIntyre said.

Both teams had scor-ing chances in the clos-ing minutes, but nothing ever found its way to the back of the net.

Ledford is 6-7-1 with East posting a 5-7-1 mark.

International program to launch in Davidson County

Adventure Boot Camp is coming soon to Davidson County. Ladies get ready to jump start your day with a fun and en-ergizing workout! Perfect for the busy woman, camp meets Monday-Friday and starts at 5:30 a.m. Boot campers will meet for one hour per day for four weeks. Beginning in late April, they can choose the intensive fi ve-day program, a four-day or a three-day program. Mag-gie Healy, who is a NESTA Certifi ed Ad-venture Boot Camp Instructor, operates this camp.

Central Carolina Adventure Boot Camp will give a jump-start to your fi t-ness plan in a fun and supportive en-vironment. Don’t worry about getting bored with the monotony of a routine because every day at camp is different. Many women have experienced results

of: 3-5 percent reductions in body fat, 5-12 pounds weight loss, 1-3-inch reduc-tion in the midsection, and all women have experienced a 100 percent increase in confi dence.

The objective of the camp is to offer the benefi ts of a personal trainer com-bined with the support of others reach-ing for similar goals. The accountability of a group helps the campers challenge themselves more than they would if they were working out on their own. All levels of fi tness are welcome and each woman will work at her own level & will be challenged.

Adventure Boot Camp was developed in Orange County, CA by Dr. John Spen-cer Ellis, an internationally renowned fi tness expert and author. Now, Adven-ture Boot Camp has fi nally made its way to Davidson County. Information is available at www.CentralCarolinaBoot-Camp.com or (336)408-4060.
