Sheriff’s race stirs controversy BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
This year’s race for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Davidson County is shaping up like a good spy novel.

Candidates square off during forum BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Two of the three Republican candidates for Davidson County sheriff traded barbs Tuesday morning at Piedmont Crossing as the race enters its final month. Incumbent David Grice and challenger Terry Price offered contrasting viewpoints as to what direction the sheriff ’s office is heading as the two fired back and forth on a variety of topics varying from the budget to a court case involving officer misconduct. Former sheriff Gerald Hege did not attend while Edgar Shuler did, an hour after he announced his decision to w i t h d r aw and support Price at the old Lexington courthouse. Grice said that during his term he has rearranged the sherif f ’s office, purchased new equipment, published new jail and sheriff ’s office manuals, established checks and balances, policies and procedures, lowered the crime rate and published statistics. “I was ready to retire and the opportunity came up to be sheriff in 2004,” Grice said. “I have returned honesty to the sheriff ’s department. I have 39 years of experience in all forms of law enforcement. We’ve had some curveballs thrown at us in my time as sheriff and I have successfully managed those situations. Times are changing and people are a lot more aggressive towards

From page 1 law enforcement.” Price countered by saying the sheriff ’s office is not doing enough towards thwarting crime and that it’s time for a change. Price, who was defeated by Grice in 2006, has more than 32 years of experience, dating back to when he started with the state highway patrol in 1973. Price has spent time working with law enforcement agencies in Georgia, Florida and Ohio. “I was not a part-time service at a small agency where I worked one day a week,” said Price “I worked 12 hours a day and had 300 people I supervised because I was captain over 10 counties. The sheriff ’s department has 240 contained within one county. The qualifications are certainly there. Each candidate has a history. The question is what has he or she done since they’ve been in office.” Price told the audience that the sheriff ’s department’s budget has increased by 26 percent since 2006, from $12 to $15.2 million, but Grice responded by saying much of that is due to officer salaries. Grice said Price’s interpretation of the
budget is due to “ignorance.” Price said the numbers speak for themselves. “Let’s talk numbers,” Price said. “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the difference. It was not an ignorant study. We had a CPA look at it.” Political watchdog Barney Hill asked both candidates about the Carlos Castro case from 2006 where two officers were charged with killing the inmate. Grice said he handled the matter immediately by contacting the State Bureau of Investigation and that he did everything he could to resolve the situation. Price claimed Grice put officers who were not properly trained into a situation they were not prepared to handle. Price also said he would like to see the department do more in terms of curtailing drugs entering the county. Grice responded with a detailed list of drug seizures deputies have made while he has been sheriff. When it came to promoting officers, Price said his opponent relies on the “good ole boy” system while Grice said a “career ladder is in place” and that the sheriff has the right to choose the people he wants. All three candidates will be on the May 4 ballot with the winner facing Democrat Tommy Evans in November.

Rickard to pass word to the sheriff that Price would back out if he could get hired as a deputy, a request that was denied. “Mostinger called Rickard and said talk to David [Grice] for us and tell him that if Price can get a chief deputy job he’ll back out,” said Grice. “Rickard told Motsinger I would say hell no. The answer was no. I told him I didn’t have anything and that he didn’t bring anything to the table for the Sheriff ’s office.” Price confirms a meeting took place between the two, but that he never asked for a job. Price said the meeting was “gentlemanly” and that its purpose focused mainly on defeating Hege, the former sheriff who was removed from office in 2004 after being charged with a laundry list of felonies involving corruption within the department. “There was never any kind of coalition or anything like that and there wasn’t anything about anyone wanting a job,” Price said. “I do want a job but it’s not the job [Grice] is thinking. I want his job. I want the sheriff ’s job.” This is not the only meeting Price has had involving other candidates. Last June, Price met with Hege at Confluence Coffee House on N.C. Highway 150 In Forsyth County to discuss the upcoming election. According to Price, Hege contacted Davidson County Clerk of Court Brian Shipwash to set up the meeting. Price said he declined at first but Hege asked again a couple of weeks later and he accepted. Price said he decided to meet in Forsyth County because it was closer to his home and that “I’m not driving anywhere to meet him If Gerald was going to meet

me he had to come to my turf.” Shipwash introduced the two and called the meeting a “feeling out process,” but Price claims Hege was there to intimidate him. Price said Hege told him he would be running for sheriff in 2010 and asked him if he was planning on do so too. Price said he told Hege that his past would come up, but the former sheriff responded by saying “I can handle the news media. I’ve always worked them and I can work them now.” When Price insisted he would run for sheriff, Hege left the meeting. “I was man enough to tell him to his face that I was running,” Price said. “[Hege] floated a rumor that he sent Brian and I running out of the building like we were scared to death. That didn’t happen. I can assure you of that. He was wanting to bully me and intimidate me just like he has always tried with everybody.” Shipwash confirmed the meeting, saying that Hege reached out to him in order to meet Price. Shipwash said that after
he introduced the two, he left the room and returned as they were ending their conversation. “I wasn’t the person who requested the meeting,” said Shipwash. “Hege contacted me first and asked if I would contact Price to see if he was interested in meeting. A meeting did occur between the two individuals. I am not aware of the content of the meeting as I was not present in the room when it occurred. It is important for me to remain neutral in this sheriff ’s race.” When reached for comment Wednesday evening, Hege declined to say anything. “I don’t have anything to say,” Hege said. “I have no comment.”
of their highest concentrations since air quality agencies started measuring pollen in the late 1990s. The pollen count in Raleigh reached 3,524 grains per cubic meter on Wednesday and 3,099 grains per cubic meter on Tuesday at the Division of Air Quality’s central office, the highest levels since at least 2003. The count was even higher in Winston-Salem, reaching 9,632 grains per cubic meter Tuesday at the Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department. People who are bothered by allergies may want to limit their time outdoors until pollen levels subside, particularly during early morning hours and when it is windy outside. Keeping doors and windows shut
with air conditioners running will help reduce pollen levels indoors. Pollen levels typically reach their peak in central North Carolina during late March and early April when trees such as oaks and pines are flowering. In most years, the highest daily pollen levels generally fall between 1,000 and 1,500 grains per cubic meter, with the peak levels usually occurring within a one or two-week span. The highest previous pollen count in Raleigh was 2,925 on March 27, 2007. The high pollen levels are probably due to several factors. The weather turned suddenly warm
last week after a cold winter and cool early spring, with little rainfall since March 29. In addition to the dry weather, winds have been blowing the pollen around. The cold winter also could have delayed some trees that normally flower earlier in the spring, so that more different tree species are flowering at the same time. “Weather forecasters are calling for rain later this week, so that should knock the pollen levels down to more normal levels,” said Keith Overcash, director for the Division of Air Quality. “Hopefully the worst of the pollen will be over by then.”

How the census helps you
KELLY CRAVER Guest Columnist
Census
It is 2010! Wow, how fast time flies! A little over 10 years ago I was changing jobs, getting married and moving into a very old house. The world was awash in Y2K impending doom and we were discussing that all the computers were going to crash and the world was coming to an end. The 2000 census was going on and the country was gathering information about our population. And for 10 years that information was used for many governmental purposes. Most importantly, that information was used to decide how state and federal dollars were being allocated to local governments. Population is a key component in calculating dollars for local roads as well as sales tax dollars to support local governments. Under reporting population short changes cities in the allocation of those funds. What can we do about it? It is simple, fill out the 2010 Census form, mail it in, and participate in the process. I met with a representative working with the 2010 Census group and he gave me two maps of areas of Thomasville that historically are under reported. The two maps comprised the whole of the core of the city. The maps showed the entire area north of the tracks, south of Business 85 and as far west as Pilot School and as far east as Albertson Road. This is about 30 percent of the area of our town and the most densely populated. The representative from the Census estimated that for each person that is not counted the city loses about $1,500 in revenues each year.
Budget
City Staff is working diligently to prepare the next two years budgets for the City. We operate on a two-year budget cycle. We prepare and city council adopts a first year budget and a proposed second year budget. The second year
budget is formally approved in June at the end of the first budget year just prior to the second year. We find that a two year budget is helpful in planning our city finances but still allows for flexibility during changing economic times. Speaking of changing economic times, the city is experiencing sustained lower sales tax revenues as well as sustained lower water and sewer revenues. Staff is challenged to provide sustained levels of service to citizens with lower revenue. The draft budget is scheduled to go to City Council for their review on April 19. Staff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal presentation of the proposed 201011 budget is scheduled for April 26. Council will begin deliberating the budget in May.
Sewer Engineers have identified five sewer system projects that are of immediate concern for the city. Design plans for the first project have been completed and submitted to the state regulators for approval. City Council has appropriated funds for the first project to completely replace the sewer line that failed last August. The estimated cost of that project is $536,000. Those funds have come from the Water and Sewer reserve fund. This is a savings account that City Council directs funds to each budget year to be spent on water and sewer improvements. We are actively seeking federal and state funding for the remaining $2 million worth of repairs that need to be made now. Congressman Mel Watt and Congressman Cobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices are working hard to help us get that funding.

Police Chief Insley has been very innovative in the reorganization of the Police Department. One of the things that I am most excited about is the redistricting of the Police Zones within the city. This rezoning into three primary districts streamlines the operation. Now the public has a single contact for each district and a direct line of communication to the Lieutenant in Charge of that district. District 1 is West of Salem Street and south of Business 85 and north of I 85. Please contact Lt. Widener at

One hundred in change BY KEITH BOST Special to the Times I was going to the doors and asking for donations to help fight the Forced annexation by the city of Lexington in one of the less affluent and older areas called the Cow Palace neighborhood. The houses are small; most of them could fit inside the average garage of today’s homes. I have gotten to know the people there; the elderly, the unemployed, the cancer and heart patients One door I knocked on was opened by an older gentleman with obvious walking difficulties. He invited me in and offered me a drink. I noticed the total lack of furniture; one small table and one old sofa and an older television which sat on the floor. His small home was neat and clean, though so sparsely furnished (to the point of not having what most of us consider “essential” items) that I almost instantly decided not to ask for a donation. He had many questions about the annexation and many complaints against the city’s unfair and tyrannical methods. He had lived in the same house for forty years (a house he built himself) and his wife had died years ago. He was living on Social Security and was partially disabled. I noticed a breathing machine in one bare corner. I told him about our struggle to bring a democratic, fair and civil solution to the annexation, then explained our local fight against the city and how North Carolina cities have blatantly misused the existing annexation laws to force their will on us, their unwilling victims. He asked me about our money situation, knowing that we are having to pay our attorney with our own money while the city of Lexington (like all cities) uses taxpayer funds to pay for theirs. He was so poor, almost pitiful, that I hesitated to bring up the reason for my visits. I admitted, reluctantly, that we needed donations for our attorney. When I did, he rose slowly and went into his one bed room and came back with a glass jar. I stood in his one-chair room and wondered if he was giving me another five dollar donation that I had become accustomed to. I watched as this elderly man counted out not five but one hundred dollars in twenties, tens, and several five dollar bills. The last thirty dollars was all in ones and ten dollars in change! There was nothing left inside the jar, not one dime. When I asked him what he had been saving the money for, he shrugged, saying simply that he didn’t expect to be going to the doctor many more times anyway ... I tried to refuse the money, knowing that – to him – this was the equivalent of my family giving thousands, but he insisted. “I may not be able to do much” he said, “but I want to help a little.” He looked at me with
such determination that I was embarrassed for thinking this man ever appeared pitiful. This fine man wants to be anonymous, but if no one believes me I will be more than happy to take you to visit him. I asked his neighbors and was told he has no family, so he would appreciate a visit. He lives off of Rolling Heights. He has more character and courage than the many wealthy who have given little or nothing. This man reminds me of Tommy Cox and Billy Yarborough, both of whom who have died since the beginning of this annexation fight. It bothers me that they died never knowing if we won or lost. It bothers me that some give so much from their poverty while others give nothing from their wealth. It bothers me even more that some of our own neighbors facilitate this annexation in hopes of personal financial gain at the expense of such good, fine people. It bothers me that anyone would even consider voting for Hugh Holliman when he knows these stories (because I have sent him countless examples of similar situations) and he does absolutely nothing to help us. It bothers me that so few are bothered at all by it all. It is heartbreaking to have to ask people who live so close to bare survival for a donation. Unemployed people on every street. Shut-ins, elderly, widows. Cancer patients, people with loved ones on dialysis machines (see my video at www.lexingtonnc.us). I sometimes get upset at the people in the poor neighborhoods for not helping with the financial situation more, then become humbled when I see how they live. They invite me into their homes and I have a hard time getting away and it takes so much time, but I try to visit with them. They know the city will double their taxes; many of them will lose their homes after we are annexed. They all are worried and have a lot of questions; some of the elderly are lonely and just want company. Heartbreaking, yes, but these people have worked hard for their entire lives and many are veterans of foreign wars and they have a deep and profound understanding of liberty and private property rights and the fundamental values which have shaped this Nation. If they give five dollars they are buying dignity. If they give ten they are taking part in the fight. If they give twenty they are doing as much as they can and it is worth it to them to know that at least they are fighting back. If someone counts out one hundred dollars in change – money he had been saving for a doctor visit – he is fighting back with all he has. I hope we all ask ourselves one question – are we fighting back? Keith Bost Lexington
No fat kids! VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist No offense, but the next time I hear Michelle Obama lecture me about feeding kids locally farmed kumquats, I’ll be forced to pile my family into an SUV and hit the Burger King drive-through just to snap my psyche back into proper equilibrium. As hard as I try, there is no evading the first lady’s maternal gaze — or her magic organic vegetable garden — these past few weeks as she zigzags the media landscape talking about her anti-childhood-obesity campaign, Let’s Move. Who better to offer guidance on lifestyle choices than politicians and their charming spouses? Washington is, after all, pooling $1 trillion to pay for the nation’s health care needs. Isn’t it only fair that someone started harassing kids who are too stout to pull their weight? And if Washington can’t dictate calorie counts in school vending machines or tax soda pop or force elementary schools in Topeka to stock their cupboards with USDA-approved nutritional fare, then, really, why do
we have a federal government in the first place? As we speak, legislation is wiggling through Congress that would ban candy and sugary beverages in schools — bake sales, a la carte lunches, Halloween goodies, birthday cupcakes — and stipulate that suitable chow be offered. It’s legislation that can’t be stopped. It’s for the children. Michelle Obama — no doubt driven by the best of intentions — went on to take food manufacturers to task, asking them to “rethink the products” they produce, because business, apparently, should be a clearinghouse for ethically sound groceries rather than a place that manufactures frozen pizza. The first lady says there is a lack of “accessibility and affordability,” as so many Americans reside in “nutritional wastelands” found in urban and rural areas (the latter, one gathers, filled with farms), with no access to supermarkets. “Some 23.5 million Americans — including 6.5 million children — currently live in food deserts,” claims the Let’s Move site. This fantasy quickly evaporates when one learns that the average American spends a mere 7 percent of his or her annual income on food (the lowest percentage in the world). That average person has an amazingly rich and diverse array of nutritious foods from which to choose. In addition, it turns out that there are very few “food deserts” in states that have the highest levels of obesity in the nation. This week, I sat down in
an editorial board meeting with Kevin Concannon — USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services — a friendly and well-spoken authoritarian who effortlessly dismissed the idea of local parental and school control over kids. The problem is just too big, he explained. Concannon did, however, speak enthusiastically about one day banning commercials that the administration finds are simply inappropriate for kids to be watching, such as cereal ads. Too But he can’t do it alone. In a recent meeting with Cabinet members and congressional leaders, Michelle Obama said, “It’s going to require us working together — not just the administration but Congress, governors, mayors, parents, teachers.” You see, it’s not just the administration that has a responsibility to tend to your children’s nutrition. Parents also are going to have to play a role — after, you know, Congress, governors and mayors. It seems, in fact, that in the fight against obesity, we pin the blame on every bugaboo available except the one that deserves the responsibility. Who knows, maybe it’s parents — not the Fruit Loops toucan or vending machines or corporate greed or even a lack of laws — who hook kids on insalubrious foods.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor What is wrong with Thomasville? Is Thomasville City unfit to live in? Evidently Councilmen Grimes and Yemm both believe that no one hired in top positions would want to live in Thomasville. If that is true guess who controls what Thomasville has to offer or what Thomasville can offer. It’s the same employees in those top positions. If the top employees of Thomasville are required to live here maybe we can become a city where people and businesses will want to reside. If they lived here, their opinions of Thomasville as a place to live/work would impact decisions they make for residences and businesses. Not only do their decisions affect our citizens, their incomes are from taxes we pay. Over time these workers are taking MILLIONS OF DOLLARS away from Thomasville’s citizens who work hard

every day and pay taxes for services. Employees that live outside of Thomasville are taking your money and giving it to other cities; they do not pay taxes here but in the cities where they live. In my opinion any employee who makes over $25,000 gross income a year should be required to live in the city of Thomasville. It’s called reinvesting! When would you invest money and not expect something in return? Never! So why would you invest in Thomasville via taxes and fees and not expect those who are in-charge to return some of your investment back into the economy of Thomasville? Please call your council members and tell them to require employees to live in Thomasville and help Thomasville through reinvestment. I applaud Councilpersons Bratton and Jackson for understanding this issue. Terry Hill Thomasville

FROM PAGE 1 BREAK From page 1 on-site clearing brush Wednesday, said the effort to mobilize the students stems from an inner motivation shared by both Brewers. “I think it’s just the kind of people they are,” Michalski said. “They care about the community.” Although Wednesday marked one of the team’s normal practice days, Brewer still decided to bring the boys out to help. He said the service teaches an important lesson. “It teaches them responsibility and just to not get rewarded back or anything, just to kind of help out,” he said. “They’re doing good, they’re working hard. They seem to appreciate what they’re doing.” The experience also shows the kids firsthand what devastation the storm brought. Some Wesleyan teachers and students had homes destroyed by the tornados, so the athletes had heard about the destruction, but Brewer says it’s one thing to hear and another to see. “You kind of have more respect for what people are going through,” he said. “A lot of them were surprised once they got there and saw how much damage, how much work there was to be done.” Despite the daunting workload, the boys seemed to be enjoying themselves. “They are having a ball,” Michalski said. “They’re a good group of kids, and they’re happy to help. I think it’s shown them life lessons off the field — the camaraderie
of being around their friends and helping people.” The athletes said that the message of service certainly had sunk in. Though they liked that Brewer promised them fewer sprints because of their help, the genuine desire to give showed in the boys’ diligence with heavy lifting and polite interactions with homeowners Dot and Ray Whittington — especially since Ray is deaf. “It’s important because these people can’t do it themselves,” said Woody Cornwell, an athlete on the team. The Whittingtons themselves say they are blown away by the amount of assistance they have received, not only from the baseball team but from Home Depot, the United Methodist Church, the Baptist Men and the High Point Police Department. “It’s just mind-boggling, really,” Dot said. “We never expected so much help.” Though the Whittingtons’ house remained mostly untouched — with only a little damage from a tree that crashed into a house corner — the tornado had wreaked havoc on the yard. Coaches and parents sawed the large trees into smaller pieces while the baseball players heaved them away into a pile for the city to pick up. “We are very lucky and very blessed that we’re still here and our house is still here,” Dot said. “It’s just been very heartwarming, what people will do. It shows what people are made of.” Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Positives to build on is what Thomasville baseball coach Brian Kennedy is looking for from his struggling squad, and he got plenty of them Wednesday afternoon. Though still not finding the win column, the Bulldogs executed much better and looked crisp at times playing the glove. If not for reverting back to its bad habits allowing five runs in the sixth inning to South Stokes, the outcome could have been different. Instead, THS took another loss by an 11-5 decision at Finch Field. “We had a real good practice yesterday, and they got the message of what we need and they brought it here today,” said Kennedy. “They were in good spirits and they cared about
baseball today, so it was good to see.” Troy Butler led the offense for Thomasville getting three hits and scoring three runs. Sam Everhart and Eddie Welborn added two hits each and Korey Hilbourn drove in two runs. The day started out like it was going to be the same old story for the Bulldogs, as the Sauras notched four runs in the opening frame. With a positive attitude, THS took it in stride, and instead of feeling sorry for themselves, fought back for three runs in the bottom half. Butler slapped a single to right and went to second on an infield single by Everhart. Thomasville got to take advantage of another teams error one batter later, when Steven Stanley hit a sharp grounder to short. The ball was fielded cleanly and a double-play was taking shape,

INDIANAPOLIS — More than any team in Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 30 seasons, this one understood that it had to win with the defense. In a heart-stopping conclusion by any standard, one final, tension-filled defensive stand delivered the ultimate win for the Blue Devils. The beloved Butler Bulldogs played championship-caliber basketball around the corner from their campus, but the battled-tested Blue Devils made one more play to claim the trophy with a 61-59 triumph Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. “Defense wins championships,” Duke senior Lance Thomas said. “We worked for this. We played so hard to get to this point. “To actually finish the
deal is an amazing accomplishment.” Butler never led over the game’s final 13 minutes, but with 13.6 seconds left, they inbounded the ball facing a one-point
deficit and threatening to claim the only lead that mattered. Duke 7-footer Brian Zoubek, however, made Butler star Gordon Hayward fade away on a 15-footer along the baseline more than Hayward wanted to, then Zoubek swallowed up the rebound and drew a foul with 3.6 seconds left. Zoubek made the first free throw, then missed the second one intention-
ally with Butler out of timeouts. Duke slowed Hayward’s path upcourt, but he launched a shot with his left foot on the midcourt stripe that banked off the backboard, hit the front of the rim, then caromed off. Duke’s players and coaches went wild in every direction, celebrating the school’s fourth NCAA title but the first for any current players as confetti rained down from the roof. “I just thought, ‘Please, don’t,’ “ Duke junior Nolan Smith said of Hayward’s heave. “It looked good. I was praying it didn’t go in. “I really can’t explain how happy I am.” Duke twice led by five points over the final seven minutes and had a chance both times to extend its lead into more comfortable territory,

Duke has potential to make it two in a row BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun INDIANAPOLIS — When Seth Curry makes his Duke debut in November after sitting out a season because of his transfer from Liberty, he will do so in almost unheard-of circumstances. Before he even touches the ball, he already will have held the national championship trophy. And Curry, who helped Duke’s current players daily in practice in their season-long buildup to the championship, believes the Blue Devils might have another one in them. “If we continue to work like we have this year in the offseason and preseason, then we should have a great chance of making a run next year,” Curry said. “Watching how much fun they’re having on the court
and how much success they’re having, going through this run is making me even more anxious to get out there.” Curry’s situation is rare but not unprecedented. In fact, Duke’s most recent title team in 2001 included Dahntay Jones, who sat in the stands after transferring from Rutgers. Jones, now a member of the Indiana Pacers, witnessed Duke’s victory over Butler from the stands on Monday night, as well. Next year’s Final Four will be in Houston, and Curry believes that former Blue Devil and current Houston Rockets standout Shane Battier might be able to watch Duke in his back yard come April 2011. “We have a good recruiting class coming

Water Towers

When you turn on a faucet in your home or at school, you may never think about the system that brings water pouring out. But running water is the result of many machines and people working together. Our tap water, or running water, comes to our homes and businesses through pipes underground. In most areas it comes from a water treatment plant.
This traditional water tower is in Cary, N.C. You may see many different shapes and sizes of towers, but they all do the same thing. Water is pumped up into the tank through the pipe in the middle of the legs. When the water is needed, gravity forces it back down through the same pipe.
A clean drink The water in the ground and in rivers and lakes has to be treated before we can drink it. The bacteria, or germs, in it might make us sick. photo by Ted Bailey/Mesa CAP Water Treatment Plant
Have you ever noticed those rounded structures with the long legs that seem to hover over every town? You probably know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re water towers. But why do we have them, and how do they work? The Mini Page fished around to catch some answers about water towers.
Water flows through filters made of layers of sand and coal.
Nature recycles water over and over again. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works: 3. The clouds get cooler. Tiny drops of water vapor turn into rain, snow, sleet or hail. We call this precipitation.
1. The sun shines on lakes, rivers, streams and oceans. Heat turns water into invisible water vapor. This is called evaporation.
4. Most precipitation falls back into the ocean, but some falls on land. The earth soaks up some of that water, and it is stored underground in aquifers. Many communities get their water by drilling wells into this natural underground storage. This water usually has less bacteria than water in rivers or lakes. Most of the precipitation eventually finds its way back to the ocean. Then the cycle starts again.
2. The vapor rises into the sky, where it cools. When it gets cold enough, the water vapor turns into clouds. This is condensation.

From Ground to You High demand
Thank a water tower
Keeping it clean
Think about the times of day when you and your family use the most water. It might be in the morning, when several people shower before school or work. It might be in the evening, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re washing clothes and dinner dishes, or watering the lawn. Now think about most of the people in your neighborhood, or your city, doing all of those same things at the same time. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the faucets run dry during those busy times?
When water leaves the treatment plant, most of it goes out Pump to customers. But if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any left over, it is pumped into a storage tank â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a water tower. A water tower stores extra water for times of high demand and when pumps arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up. Towers have to be tall so that the pressure will push the water out into the pipes and to our homes.
Even though the water stored in towers has already been filtered and treated, there can still be sediment, or solid material, in the water that settles at the bottom of the tank. Bacteria can grow in the sediment, so the inside of the tower must be inspected and cleaned regularly. To do this, workers may use remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; small cameras that go underwater and are controlled by someone outside the tank. Or a diver may go into the full water tank and clean the sediment with a vacuum-like machine. This diver is entering Most steel a water tower tank. tanks are painted on the inside to keep the metal from corroding, or gradually wearing away. Most concrete tanks are not painted.
What about pumps?

SPORTS TOPPLE From page 7 but second baseman Jose Gonzalez mishandled the throw and it trickled into right field. Butler scored on the play and Everhart made his way to third. Hilbourn grounded out to make it 4-2, then Welborn ripped a hit to right to score the third run. Welborn tried to stretch the hit to a double, but was mowed down at the bag. Thomasville tied the game in the third when Butler singled, and he scored a few batters later on a scary play that turned out well. Methodically working his way to third on two stolen bases, Butler broke for home on the pitch and nearly got his head ripped off. The batter, Hilbourn, took a cut, lining a single to left, almost sending Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head with it as he dove in for home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a missed signal by our batter there, but it worked out for us,â&#x20AC;?

Eddie Welborn (No. 24) is tagged out by South Stokes shortstop Tommy Nagle while attempting to stretch a single into a double on Wednesday at Finch Field. ond. Two batters later, Steven Stanley reached on an infield single putting Butler 90 feet away from home. Hilbourn got the signal straight this time around, placing a bunt down to complete the squeeze play, tying things up a 5-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were executing a lot of things and it was fun for us for awhile,â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy.
throw line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of his easiest shots on a night when he made many difficult ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Butler looked to its star. But Hayward, bottled up all night by Singler and Thomas, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream, finishing 2-of-11 from the field with 12 points. Duke senior Jon Scheyer scored 15 points in the perfect cap to his college career, including a clutch, off-balance three-point play and a pair of free throws that gave the Blue Devils their first late fivepoint cushion heading to the final seven minutes. Duke went to the half with the narrowest of leads at 33-32, even though the Blue Devils lost ground in some uncharacteristic catego-
Everhart, who came on to relieve starter Rashaun Anderson in the fifth, found trouble in the sixth walking two batters. His defense did not help either with three errors, as South Stokes surged ahead 115. Stanley relieved him midway through the inning allowing one of the runs. Thomasville had the
top of its order due up in the seventh and put two runners on with one out, but a 6-4-3 double play completed the game. Notes: THS lost the first game earlier this season to the Sauras 11-0 ... Batters 6-9 in the order went 1-for-12 on the day ... Everhart got the loss on the hill ... Thomasville is 2-9 for the year.
ing 34.2. In the second half, however, the Blue Devils turned it around and got off six more shots. They made 6 of 7 free throws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only miss on Zoubekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentional one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and grabbed eight offensive rebounds while limiting Butler to two. Zoubek, with six offensive rebounds, broke Elton Brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school record for offensive boards in a season with 143, and finished with eight points and 10 rebounds. Thomas scored six points and did his usual defensive job as Butler hit just 34.5 percent of its shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a team effort,â&#x20AC;? Singler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every guy played well, and we needed every one to win.â&#x20AC;?
ries. The Blue Devils entered the title game having out-rebounded every opponent in the NCAA Tournament, but an undersized Butler team held a 24-17 edge at half. Duke hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been outdone on the offensive boards in 10 straight games, but the Bulldogs dominated in that category, holding a 12-3 edge at the break. Duke also struggled at the free throw line. The Blue Devils ranked sixth in the NCAA with a 76.1percent success rate but made just 4 of 9 in the opening half. As a result, Butler attempted 12 more field goals than Duke in the first half, though the Bulldogs made the same amount â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Duke shooting 50 percent, Butler shoot-

FROM PAGE 1 BATTLE From page 1 concerns.” One of the big issues Johnson says he has heard locals voice concerns about is the annexation issue. Though it hasn’t affected Denton directly, Johnson said that others in Davidson County have been affected and deserve a voice. “I don’t like forced anything, I don’t like forced government,” he said. “I think that the government belongs to the people and not to the politicians. The cities need to be able to grow, but there are so many things within the inner city now that a lot of times they can grow within.” With unemployment and drawing more business also on the list, Johnson said one of his biggest concerns rests in education, partly because his wife is a teacher of 25 years. “I guess because I hear education every night and the different things going on in it, that’s always a concern,” he said.
Rabies clinic scheduled TIMES STAFF REPORT
The Davidson County Health Department is sponsoring a Rabies Clinic on Saturday, April 17, 2010. The clinic will be held at the Davidson County Health Department in Lexington from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Dr. Greg Hedrick will be administering the vaccines. The cost is $5 per vaccination at the clinic. All rabies vaccines administered at the clinic will be one-year vaccines only, unless the owner or responsible party can show a rabies certificate proving the animal is properly vaccinated. All animals must remain in the vehicle. The owner of the animal maintains responsibility for their animal while at the clinic. Animals should be handled by an adult. All dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a carrier. North Carolina law requires that all dogs, cats, and ferrets over four months of age be vaccinated against rabies. They can be vaccinated as young as three months of age. Owners not complying with this law may be fined $100 per day. North Carolina law also requires that rabies vaccinations shall be given only by a licensed veterinarian.

“North Carolina has a good system, but I think there’s a lot of waste for a lot of programs.” Johnson says that while he understands that systems have been cut and funding is low, having larger class sizes will hurt the students’ ability to get individualized help and maximize their learning. But most importantly, Johnson says he wants to represent the concerns of the people in Davidson County. Incumbent Jerry DockTHURSDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

continue to spend money that we don’t have. We continue to go into debt that our children and grandchildren are going to have to pay.” The current general assembly will have a short session in May to discuss the state’s monetary situation. “I don’t think many people are looking past that right now,” he said. “It appears that — according to what I understand from the fiscal research staff — we’re going to be somewhere close to a
billion short on the budget.” Dockham says that with such a deficit looming, the state faces a series of tough decisions. “The Democrats think the only answer to that is raise taxes,” he said. “But in this economy, I certainly do not agree with that. We’re just going to have to prioritize our spending.”
