The flags that fly at the Veter-ans Memorial in King’s CentralPark flutter in the late summerbreeze. But one flag that hasstood there since the Memorialwas presented to the public in2004 is conspicuously missing—the Christian flag.

After voting at their Augustmeeting to leave the Christianflag in place at the Memorial, theKing City Council voted at a spe-cial meeting last week to removethe flag. The Aug. 1 vote to leavethe flag up was unanimous; theSept. 15 vote to take it down wasnot. Council member WesleyCarter was the lone dissentingvote.

“I felt that it is our religiousright and the religious freedomthat we are granted by the Con-stitution to fly that flag,” Carterstated. “Our nation was foundedon Christian principles, and thisflag represents those principles.”

Carter, a veteran himself, in-sists that it wasn’t the fact thatthe flag was removed from a vet-erans’ memorial that influencedhis vote. For him, it went deeper.“This is our religious freedom atstake here,” he declared.

“We were faced with an ethicaldilemma that challenged our roleas city leaders as well as our per-sonal faith,” noted Council mem-ber Terri Fowler. “It was a harddecision not taken lightly. . .Leav-ing the Christian flag flying withnot enough money on hand for

fines and fees associated with thepotential lawsuit would havethe potential for financially crip-pling the City of King.”

Before 24 hours had passed af-ter the vote, the flag was gonefrom the Memorial.

“After the Council approvedthe recommendation of the CityAttorney to remove the Christianflag,” explained King City Manag-er John Cater, “I directed RickyLewis, Public Works Director, toremove the flag and bring it to me– which he did on Thursdaymorning.”

The sequence of events thatled to the Council’s decision be-gan when the City received ananonymous complaint via phonein July 2010. The caller felt thatthe Christian flag flying at theCity’s Veterans Memorial wentagainst the definition that manyuse to argue constitutional sepa-

ration of church and state.Cater tells how the City was

also dealing with an inquiry fromthe American Civil LibertiesUnion about the issue. Accordingto the city manager, the ACLU, aswell as Americans United for theSeparation of Church and State,suggested that “the Christian flagflying over the Veterans Memorialat Central Park violated the Es-tablishment Clause of the FirstAmendment to the U.S. Constitu-tion.”

The City Attorney advised theCouncil to take down the flag, us-ing money as a rationale. “He cit-ed the enormous cost associatedwith fighting a potential lawsuiton the issue,” noted Cater.

Council member Charles Allenverified that his vote to take downthe flag stemmed from the “possi-ble financial impact to city cof-fers.”

Allen continued: “I was ab-solutely, teetotally reluctant to doit. I feel that I voted with my headand not my heart.” He said that ifthe finances become available,this might not be the end of theflag issue, although he notes thatthe Council would get additionallegal counsel before making anymore decisions.

Mayor Jack Warren said that apossible five-cent property tax in-crease might’ve been necessaryfor the estimated $300,000 need-ed if the City of King had to go upagainst the ACLU and other suchorganizations in a legal battle.

Carter commented, “I agreewith the idea that the cost wouldbe a great burden, but I felt like itwas a fight worth fighting.”

Warren spoke out on the Coun-cil vote: “I support their decision. .

flags, as still others carriedor held up their Bibles.

“From baby strollers toa man with a cane—even ablind man walking withhis wife,” Dyer recalledthe circle of diversemarchers.

As the marchers walkedaround the VeteransMemorial, they began tochant, "Put it back! Put itback!" Before long, some-one initiated the singing of"God Bless America." Laterin the evening, the groupsang “Amazing Grace.”

Eventually, a marcheroffered to pray. As the pro-testors bowed their heads,many of them holdinghands, the marcher ledwhat Dyer called “anamazing prayer,” evokingmany cries of "amen" and"hallelujah."

After the prayer, severalparticipants rose to ad-dress the audience, includ-ing Arlene Austin, the wid-

ow of Sgt. Willis Austin.Another speaker was ayoung veteran who hadfought in the War inAfghanistan. Dyer com-mented that he was veryemotional, relating how hehad lost friends over thereand then had to returnhome to this.

As television camerasfrom local stations rolled,the protest finally endedafter about 30 minutes.Many participants lin-gered around the Memori-al, exchanging thoughtsand ideas.

King City Council mem-ber Terri Fowler comment-ed late on Monday evening,“I am proud to see the citi-zens of our city and countyexpress their views regard-ing our decision both proand con, for that's whatdemocracy is all about.”

According to a news re-port by WXII News Chan-nel 12, there had been ac-tivity of a more anonymouskind in the park the nightbefore the protest. Some-time in the night betweenSunday, Sept. 19, and Mon-

day, Sept. 20, an unknownperson had erected anoth-er Christian flag on theflagpole where the originalflag once flew.

Workers from the Cityof King took down theunauthorized flag whenword of it reached them onMonday morning. No in-vestigation has been initi-ated in the mysterious oc-currence.

If the anonymous flag

hoister was present at theprotest on Monday night,he/she did not make him-self/herself known. Butplenty of others marchedproudly to protest whatthey consider a tragedy intheir city.

“All ages, all denomina-tions, multiple churchesrepresented,” Dyer ob-served, “but everyone min-gled together for one com-mon cause.”

Letters to the editorReference: The Christian FlagDear Editor,

Well, the City of Kinghas made Google. Yes, thearticle of taking down theChristian flag. Let's see—the reason they took itdown was to prevent a$300,000 lawsuit or a law-suit.

If you look at and readanything about the Christ-ian flag, you will see thatit's a free flag, standswithout political enmity,serves as a witness of whatJesus did for us by dyingon the cross for our sins,Citizens of Heaven.

The flag was designedby Charles Overton in1897. It's over 100 yearsold. It represents Protes-tants of all denominations.The meaning of colors:white, purity and peace;blue, faith and truth; red,blood of Jesus Christ andlove.

The Christian FlagPledge varies. This is justone of the pledges:

“I pledge allegiance tothe Christian flag and tothe Savior for whose king-dom it stands. One Savior,crucified, risen and comingagain with life and libertyto all who believe.”

It is obvious that any-thing to do with the nameof Jesus is to be shot down.And we who are in Christknow why—because that'sthe only way that peoplewill go to Heaven (John3:16). So the devil will doeverything to take awaythe name of Jesus. Oops, Isaid the name of Jesus. Iwonder if I will be sued forsaying that. Or will I besued if I fly the Christianflag? Let's see will it offendmy neighbors.

You vote to leave it upand then voted to take itdown. I guess you want toget elected again. Ormaybe protect the name ofKing instead of King Je-sus.

Do you have a Christianflag in your church? Willyou just wait and see whathappens in King while afew protest the removal ofthe flag? There are alwaysa few that stand up forwhat they believe in. Orwill you get involved andreally get out there and de-mand that the flag be putback up and that the city ofKing goes forward withwhatever happens?

I am sorry for my sar-casm but have been thereand done that. I wouldrather for the people toprove me wrong. We needto stand up for Jesus. Oneday we will all stand beforethe Lord and give an ac-count of our actions.

The letter that I re-ceived from Christian LawAssociation on July 1,2010, states the following:

"Do you see the double-standard? Righteousnessis under assault. Evil is be-ing exalted in our nation.The First Amendmentguarantees ‘the free exer-cise of religion.’ Yet despitethis clear guarantee, reli-gious liberty remains un-der assault across our na-

tion. We need to work dili-gently to reverse this dou-ble standard in our nation.If we don't, what we con-tinue to experience in ournation will become all thatour children and grand-children know. Tragically,the more you are exposedto what doesn't makesense, the more normal itbecomes."

Isn't it amazing that theperson or persons areanonymous that wantedthe flag taken down? Theyuse organizations to dotheir dirty work for them.

Tell me what harm didthe flag do?

Sincerely yours,

Fredricka Anne CecileKing

Visit a school to beupliftedDear Editor,

If you need a lift, visit alocal school event! I was in-vited to attend the MountOlive Elementary SchoolStudent Council Electionspeeches on Friday morn-ing, Sept. 17...and I accept-ed. Wow! What a wonder-ful grouping of studentsand teachers...from thefriendly office greeting tothe post-speech photos ofthose running for office. Iwas filled with such awe atthe poise, maturity and hu-mor of the students on thestage. The remainder ofthe school seated on thefloor was pretty awesomeas well!

Kudos to faculty/staffand parents for helpingthese young people arriveat this place in their younglives. I am so proud toknow that you are presentin Stokes County!

A step away from GodDear Editor,

In August the City ofKing voted to leave theChristian flag flying at theVeterans Memorial. Juli-enne Ratcliffe told thecouncil if the flag were re-moved, she would marchup and down. Mayor War-ren assured her he wouldbe right there with her. Amonth later they voted toremove the flag. What theheck is that all about?

Somebody tell me whythey had a vote on a Chris-tian flag on a churchnight? Why were the lead-ers of our churches not in-volved in this decision?Why did no one ask the cit-izens of King if they werewilling to fight this fight? Idon't understand how theopinions of a few can dis-rupt the majority.

Separation of Churchand State. . .it's an inter-pretation. Our founding fa-thers were trying to pro-tect religion from govern-ment, not the other wayaround. Nowhere in theConstitution does it usethe words separation fromchurch and state.Nowhere in the Constitu-

tion does it say that a vet-erans memorial can't fly aChristian flag because itmay offend someone.

They were protectingpeople from having theirreligious views forced onthem by a governmentchoosing how they were go-ing to worship. They werenot protecting people frombeing offended by a flagthat represents God's lovefor all mankind (yes, eventhose who reject him).

I wish we had the in-testinal fortitude to tellpeople if you don't likeKing, leave King, but youain't gonna change King.King is a Christian com-munity; we pray at ball-games, at fundraisers andat town meetings. If youdon't like that, we are notgoing to make you partici-pate. We will not tar andfeather you or run you outof town on a rail. But thisis our home, and this ishow we are. If you chooseto live here, you don't haveto change to suit us, butwhy should we change tosuit you?

Read the first amend-ment and tell me that itmeans you can't fly a flagat a park. It's one morecrazy step away from Godand toward socialism. Ihave to say that when Isaw all those names on theletter that came in to yourpaper in support of the re-moval of the flag (CynthiaBecker, Tracey Meszaros,Lee Ann Sostaita), I wasnot surprised to see that I(who have lived here myentire life) didn't recognizeany of their names.

The first thing that allof these people do whenthey leave a place is try tochange their new home tobe like where they camefrom. If where they camefrom was so great, do us alla favor and go back. As forthe anonymous guy, everytime I have called the cityon this matter I have givenmy name and phone num-ber. If you are not proudenough of your opinion toput your name with it, whyshould we care to hear it?

And Mayor Warren, Iam ready to march withyou, my friend.

RespectDear Editor,

People want it, some de-mand it, some thinkthey’re entitled to it andsome earn it.

I’ve watched my sonthroughout the years growinto a well-mannered, re-spectable young man. Ihave also watched him at-tain a love for football andto play. He was on the firstJr. Vikings JV team. I’vewatched him play everyyear since he was in fourthgrade – except this year.

I’m glad to see turnoutfor NS Football, keepsgrowing every year; howev-er, does it really matter thenumber of young men onthe sidelines if some don’tplay? Are they just neededas bodies for everydaypractice? I believe so.

The comment was maderegarding the number ofplayers being a good thing;players wouldn’t have toplay both sides. When sit-ting in the stands, I’ve no-ticed several that play bothsides, while juniors standthe sideline. Funny theyneeded these boys lastyear on JV when theymoved up freshmen to Var-sity and bypassed them.

My son didn’t know ifhe still had the position heactually worked for him-self as quarterback untilothers moved up, and thenthey needed him to be theQB on JV last year. Unlikea select few parents that“sit the bank,” go to theweight room and tell otherboys they need to lift more,

stand on top of the pressbox and eat with the boysbefore a game, my husbandand I have never inter-fered or acted like our sonwas better than anyoneelse.

I had a discussion withone of the JV coaches, ask-ing why they did my sonlike that; I even said myson had a better heartthan I did because I wouldhave told them no thankyou after the lack of re-spect they gave my son.Now this year they standthe sideline as juniors. Willthey stand the sidelinenext year as seniors?

My son has spoken tothe coaches asking why, asI have myself. They givehim cheap replies, brushhim off. Wonder why theycannot look me in the eyeand give me a reply at all,always have to take him afew feet away from mewhen speaking to him. ..harder to say somethingcheap to an adult than to astudent/athlete I guess.They go around school andask other players/studentsabout him instead of ask-ing him themselves. Andthey are adults and wantrespect.

My son now is no longerplaying the only sport heloves which makes me lividand breaks my heart as amother. It has now beentwo weeks since my sonhas not been to practice. Ihave yet to receive a phonecall as to why my son is notat practice. My son has yetto have anyone ask himwhy – but his number wasgiven away and a playermoved up to take his spot.

Again I say, I guess it iseasier to make up whatrules they want to followand tell students then tolive in the real worldwhere even students/ath-letes have feelings and thesame respect that theygive every day, whetherthose people deserve it ornot, they deserve in return.

Respect is defined asconsideration for someone,a good opinion of someone.

Law or fraudDear Editor,

The law, our Constitu-tion’s First Amendmentstates: “Congress shallmake no law respecting anestablishment of religion,or prohibiting the free ex-ercise thereof; or abridgingthe freedom of speech, or ofthe press; or the right ofthe people peaceably to as-semble, and to petition theGovernment for a redressof grievances.”

Why is it applied to thechurch or anything Christ-ian? Why is it applied toanything within theStates? HOW CAN A SEN-TENCE, WITH ITSCLAUSES, BE ABOUTSOMETHING OTHERTHAN THE STATEDSUBJECT? Can anyone,even a professional teacheror professor of English ex-plain that? Is this the fore-runner of the collapse ofmeaning within the Eng-lish language and the ad-

vent of lawless power, sincethe ACLU uses the Separa-tion of Church and Stateas the Law of the FirstAmendment? Is that usagenot fraudulent law?

“Congress” is defined inthe Constitution, Article 1,Section 1, as the legislativebranch of the Federal Gov-ernment. That is whom theStates wanted prohibitedfrom intervening into theiraffairs, including theirChristian requirements tohold office, since it is theirBill of Rights. Thomas Jef-ferson said they are offlimits to the Federal tri-bunals – all three branch-es, which explains his useof “the Separation ofChurch and State” applica-ble against the FederalGovernment. With “noLaw” from Congress, thePresident and SupremeCourt have “no Law” to actupon.

Nine of the 13 States in1776 had their Christianrequirements to hold officein their State, and theystill wanted a Bill of Rights(the first 10 amendments)to prohibit the FederalGovernment from inter-vening into those affairs.The original intent is aclear prohibition with “noLaw” to act upon. Even ifone uses an “IncorporationTheory” (which is makingup law) tied to the 14thAmendment, it is still anincorporated prohibition,with only the people’sequality before Law the is-sue of the 14th Amend-ment.

The veterans in Kingneed to fly the Christianflag in memorial of NorthCarolina’s Christian her-itage as stated in their1776 Constitution, Article32: “That no person whoshall deny the being ofGod, or the truth of theProtestant religion, or thedivine authority of eitherthe Old or New Testa-ments, or who shall holdreligious principles incom-patible with the freedomand safety of the State,shall be capable of holdingany office, or place of trustor profit, in the civil de-partment, within thisState.”

Christianity is stated inBlackstone’s Commen-taries on the Laws, and byState Supreme Courts asbeing part of the CommonLaw. Even in the Constitu-tion, the President is given10 days to sign a bill intolaw with the exception ofSunday, which is a Christ-ian holy day. The ratifica-tion of the Constitutionwas – “Done in Conventionby the Unanimous Con-sent of the States presentthe Seventeenth Day ofSeptember in the Year ofour Lord…”, which is ter-minology used by Chris-tians about their Lord andSavior Jesus Christ fromwhom calendars are dated.

Christianity hasbrought the greatest civili-ty and virtues to mankindand is our heritage. To thecontrary, with fraud as lawthe future is very disturb-ing.

Raisins have always been a popularand portable snack, available in largeboxes for baking and in smaller boxesto toss into backpacks, lunch bags andpurses for quick snacks.

Raisins are high in potassium, anessential nutrient; high in fiber andare an excellent source of antioxi-dants, believed to help prevent cancer.

Here are a few no-recipe ideas forraisins:

Try a peanut butter, honey andraisin sandwich on whole wheatbread.

Add raisins to a tossed green salad(this is extra-tasty if you add somesliced apple to your salad, too).

Core an apple and fill the cavitywith raisins, chopped walnuts and abit of honey. Bake in the oven or in the

microwave. These will keep, refriger-ated, for a couple of days and areequally good served hot or cold.

The good folks at SunMaid, proba-bly the most well-known supplier ofraisins, have issued two free cook-books featuring raisins. Just visitwww.sunmaid.com to request copies.

The following recipes are from theSunMaid cookbooks.

A popular caterer in Winston-Salemoffers a broccoli and raisin salad as aside dish. This recipe has similar fla-vors but adds pasta. It can be a vege-tarian main dish or a side dish. It hasonly 200 calories per serving.

Broccoli-Pasta Toss1 cup small broccoli florets, washedOne and a quarter cups cooked

seashell pastaOne-half cup raisinsOne-third cup chopped red onionOne-quarter cup chopped red pep-

perOne-third cup reduced fat mayon-

naise1 tablespoon cider vinegar

One-half teaspoon sugarCombine broccoli, pasta, raisins,

onion, and pepper in serving bowl.Combine dressing ingredients andpour over. Stir to coat pasta mixturewith dressing. Store in refrigerator.

Lots of people like carrot-raisin salad.This version uses both ingredients, butthe spices are very different. It is a niceblend of sweet and spicy flavors and hasonly 140 calories per serving and 230 per-cent of your recommended allowance forVitamin A.

Moraccan Salad1 pound baby carrots2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon

juice1 teaspoon sugarOne-half teaspoon paprikaOne-quarter teaspoon each ground

cumin, salt and cinnamonPinch cayenne pepper1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oilOne-quarter cup finely chopped Italian

parsley1 cup raisins

Cut carrots into two or three pieces,depending on size of carrot. Cook in boil-ing water for about 5 minutes, or just un-til tender. (You may use your microwave ifyou like.)

Drain and rinse in cold water to stopcooking. Drain again. Allow to cool andplace in serving dish.

Combine all other ingredients exceptolive oil. Stir to dissolve spices. Stir inolive oil.

Pour dressing over carrots and stir tocoat carrots with dressing. Cover and al-low to rest at room temperature for atleast an hour.

Tearing Down and Building Up—-by Jerry Pence

“See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, toroot out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and toplant” (Jeremiah 1:10).

There is so much religious confusion and division in this world today thatevery moment could be spent in opposition to false systems, schemes, anddoctrines. However, in the pursuit of an eternal home with God we mustplace our emphasis on the search for truth and righteousness.

When the pioneers crossed this country in the nineteenth century, they had to spend long hoursin “pulling down and rooting up.” However, if that was all they did, the land from the MississippiRiver to the Pacific Ocean would be no more than leveled wasteland. But each time they clearedland, they planted, sowed, and built a great nation “from sea to shining sea.”

Likewise, if we are to serve God as he would have us to, and if we are to grow as he would haveus to grow, we need to cast out human creeds and reasonings and every high thing that exalts itselfagainst God. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). As in the days of Nehemiah, we all need to focus on doingGod’s will and not on what we think is right. “And it came to pass that from that time forth, thatthe half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, theshields, and the bows...and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. They which builded onthe wall, and they that laded, everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with theother hand held a weapon. For the builders, everyone had his sword girded by his side, and sobuilded” (Nehemiah 4:16-18). Come worship with us and let us work together to do God’s willaccording to His Word.

Keepers At Home Aged women are to "teach the young women to be...keepers at home" (Titus 2:3-5). This is in harmony with 1 Timothy 5:14, "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully." Controversy surrounds the fact that Paul says that young, married mothers are to be "keepers at home." Does this forbid a woman to work outside the home? Some say that it is a sin for a woman to have a public job, however, the passage does not say a woman sins by working at a public job. The passage implies that she sins whenever she fails to be a keeper at home. Some women are home all day, and are still not keepers of the home. She could be guilty of some the issues Paul mentions in 1 Timothy 5:13. On the other hand, a woman may work several hours a day outside her household and not neglect her family in any respect. The virtuous woman of Proverbs fame is described as one who "looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." Yet, "She perceiveth that her merchandise is good....she maketh fine linen and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant" (Prov. 31:18, 24). Whatever a woman does outside the home, whether it be as a tentmaker like Priscilla, or as a servant in the gospel like Phoebe, she should not let that detract her from her duties in the home (Acts 18:3; Romans 16:1; Philippians 4:3). A woman may perform certain tasks outside the home so long as she does not abandon her responsibilities in the home. I have the greatest respect for woman who work outside the home and can maintain all the duties that God holds highly. Let me also add, men, if your wife is working outside the home and helping support the family, you better be giving serious thought to what you can do to help with those duties at home. Come visit with us at South Stokes. We would love for you to visit with us.

Lewis noted that no

single member of theboard has power as an in-dividual, but that theboard only has power byworking as an entireboard. She encouraged theboard to work together forthe good of the entire com-munity. Lewis stated thatshe believed that honestdiscussion was good and

that she would not expectevery member of the boardto agree with each otherall the time, but that theboard must be able toachieve consensus andwork together.

After Town ManagerHomer Dearmin an-nounced various regional,municipal and local meet-ings, the board approvedthe consent agenda andproceeded to new busi-ness, including the addi-tional of a new K-9 drug-sniffing dog.

Dearmin noted that thetown leased space on thewater tanks to the cellularphone service Verizon andthat Verizon wanted toamend the agreement sothey could update theirequipment as it is severalyears old. The members ofthe board asked severalquestions. Town AttorneyKevin Berger recommend-ed approval, and Dearminsaid that the public wouldnot be able to see any dif-ferences on the tanks. Theboard voted unanimouslyto approve allowing Veri-zon to upgrade theirequipment.

A lengthy discussionfollowed about the town’swater storage plan. Whilethe town has a plan incase of water shortage,fines and penalties arelimited under the currentplan. CommissionerSharon Conaway askedabout the public havingan opportunity to com-ment on the proposedplan, and Dearmin clari-fied that this plan wouldbe the plan that the boardwould be recommendingfor adoption and that thepublic would have ampleopportunity to commenton the proposed plan be-fore it became an ordi-nance.

Mayor John Hodgkinsuggested that it wouldbe good for the town toensure that all residentswere aware of the pro-posed changes, andDearmin replied that hewould ensure that The

Stokes News published apublic notice and that theproposed changes wouldalso be posted on thetown’s website.

The board moved on todiscuss some derelictproperties located on Old-town Drive that areowned by the DeHart es-tate. Dearmin said he didnot yet have any demoli-tion bids for the board toconsider as several of thecompanies were con-cerned about the removalof debris but that hehoped to have bids readyfor review at the Octobermeeting.

The property ownerswere first notified of theneed to improve theseproperties in 2009, andthey do not meet mini-mum housing code re-quirements. The boardvoted unanimously toproceed with the demoli-tion process. Dearminsaid that the town couldrecover the costs of de-molishing the propertiesfrom the estate and hadenough money to coverthe costs before recoupingthe money from the es-tate.

Dearmin stated thatthe Zoning Board wasworking on a proposal topresent to the board forthe October meeting in-volving permitted uses,conditional uses and sizerequirements.

The town has received$40,000 from the RuralCenter for improvementsto the sewer system.

In addition, the towncan apply for funds fromthe Parks and Recreationtrust fund to improve ordevelop parks within thetown. The town mustmatch the funds request-ed.

. .It broke their heart to doit. In their heart, they want-ed to leave that flag up, andmyself also.” Warren feelsthat now the Council willhave time to look at otherpossibilities, “possibly ex-plore other options.”

The Council discussedthe issue in closed sessionat the special meeting onSept. 15. When they recon-vened their meeting inopen session, they voted 3-1 in favor of following theCity Attorney’s advice toremove the flag.

An uproar immediatelyfollowed the announce-ment of the decision. Resi-dents from all over Kingand Stokes County beganposting comments on Face-book, with many Facebookusers posting Christianflags on their profile pageto signify their disapprovalof the Council’s decision.

Calls poured into KingCity Hall, say employeesthere. The Stokes News be-gan receiving inquiriesand letters to the editor.Local television stationspicked up the story, as wellas some national watchdogwebsites.

Although the majorityof the response condemnedthe Council’s decision,there were those who re-sponded with approval.

WXII reported thatsome of the disapprovingcitizens are making plansto raise money to fight apossible legal battlebrought on by the ACLU.Informal gatherings fordiscussion and strategiz-ing are planned at the Vet-erans Memorial everyMonday night at 7 p.m.,leading up to a more or-ganized rally scheduled forSaturday, Oct. 23.

The anonymous callerwho first raised the flag is-sue has spoken with areatelevision stations butfears that if he reveals hisidentity, he might be pun-ished in some way by citi-zens, says WXII. This manis a veteran himself, hav-ing fought for the U.S. inAfghanistan. His contro-versy with the Christianflag at the Memorial stemsfrom his belief that no oneshould impose their reli-gious beliefs on him; heclaims that he is no longera Christian.

Meanwhile, Mayor War-ren talks about the strainthe City of King is undernow. “I’ve lost sleep over it,I’ve cried over it, I’veprayed over it,” he says ina solemn voice.

Then his tone becomesmore optimistic and deter-mined. “We don’t have a fi-nal solution on what we’regonna do,” Warren de-clared fervently. “But we’regonna hang in there!”

In the chase for the NorthwestConference title, 1A power MountAiry has assumed the role of thehunted in recent years.

In fact, the Bears haven’t lost aconference game since Oct. 30,2006.

Coming into the 2010 season,West Stokes was picked as one ofthe favorites to end that streak.

The much-anticipated showdowncomes Friday night when MountAiry makes the trip to King in thefirst conference game for bothteams.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.Despite the short history (last

year was the first meeting ever be-tween the schools), it seems as ifthe rivalry has been going on foryears.

“It has turned into an interestingrivalry between us and MountAiry,” Coach Jimmy Upchurch ofWest said. “Our kids don’t knowtheir kids very good, but anytimeyou have to teams expected to dovery well, it tends to increasewhat’s on the line and the gets kida little more focused and a lot moreexcited. Our kids have a lot toprove.”

The Bears and Wildcats comeinto the game with 2-2 records.

As expected, West Stokes has got-

ten big production from quarter-back Austin Fleming, who has putup big numbers through the firstfour games (71 rushes, 419 yards,three touchdowns and 43-of-72passing for 484 yards and fivetouchdowns with one interception).

Eorn Jenkins is the second-lead-ing rusher with 35 carries for 192yards and two touchdowns.

Fleming’s favorite targets havebeen Luke Bowen (12 catches, 177yards, two TDs) and DemarionJones (10 catches, 132 yards).

However the offense has been aslight concern for the Wildcats, whohave struggled at times throughthe first four games.

“It’s taking a little time to getwhere we need to be,” Upchurchsaid. “We are getting better eachweek offensively and we’ve got thetools to be a good offense. If we canget everybody on the same page,then we are going to be good.”

Defense hasn’t been a big issueunder new coordinator Steve Whitt.

West allowed 14 points to 4AReagan and 10 points to 4A Watau-ga, but the Wildcats lost bothgames.

Jordan Hall leads the way with49 tackles for the Wildcats.

“I’m really happy with how ourdefense is playing,” Upchurch said.“The kids are playing really hard

Mount Airy’s footballteam should be feelingpretty confident whenit rolls into King to-morrow night.

Rightfully so.When you win 44

straight wins confer-ence games and threeconsecutive leaguecrowns, it’s hard not tohave a bit of a swagger.

Mount Airy has thepostseason success tomatch its recent choke-hold on the NorthwestConference. Consider the last four seasons -2006 (western regional final), 2007 (western re-gional semis), 2008 (state champion), 2009(state champion runner up).

Around here, the Bears are the team to beatuntil proven otherwise.

For West Stokes, there’s no time like Friday

night.The preseason consen-

sus around the leaguewas that the Wildcatshad the best shot to de-throne the Bears.

So far, the defense hasrisen to the occasion -West held 4A Reaganand 4A Watauga to nineand 14 points, respective-ly. Both were winnablegames that got awayfrom the Wildcats.

Mount Airy is puttingup about 29 points per

game - so West will definitely need the offenseto show up.

Turnovers, penalties or other mistakes haveplagued the offense at the worst times in thetwo losses. Quarterback Austin Fleming has

Much-improved SouthStokes would like nothingmore than to get back tothat winning feeling it hadtwo weeks ago. NorthStokes just wants to get ridof the bad taste left fromlast week’s fourth quartercollapse.

It all comes to a head Fri-day night when the Saurasand Vikings renew their ri-valry at South Stokes HighSchool.

Kickoff is set for 7:30p.m.

North has won five in arow against the Sauras - in-cluding a 48-0 rout in 2009in Danbury. However theVikings (2-2) come into Fri-day’s game seeking to snapa two-game slide - the mostrecent a 29-28 heartbreak-er last week at homeagainst Andrews.

North led 28-7 in thefourth quarter, but twoturnovers helped the Wild-cats come from behind tosteal the win late.

“I don’t know,” CoachFrank Sessoms of Northsaid. “Maybe they hit a lit-tle bit harder than we did.(Andrews) definitely wonthe battle up front.”

North’s backfield tandemof TJ Sonafrank and DillonRogers have shoulderedmuch of the rushing loadthrough the first fourgames this season.

Sonafrank has 52 carriesfor 252 yards and Rogershas 46 carries for 205 yardsand two touchdowns.

Alek Ottaway (sevencatches, 68 yards, threetouchdowns) and DustinSmith (seven catches, 64yards) have been the pri-mary weapons for sopho-more quarterback GarrettWood so far this season.

On defense, senior line-backer Ethan Smith has ateam-high 38 tackles, fol-lowed closely by DustinMabe, who has 37. RyanTucker has 31 tackles andthree QB sacks and MattHopkins has 24 tackles (14solo).

Following a 43-0 victoryagainst first-year programDurham Kestrel Heightson Sept. 10, the Sauraswere dealt a 48-9 setbackat home against BishopMcGuinness.

Coach Jonathan Frasherof South Stokes came awayimpressed by the Villains.

In a flash, North Stokes went from being incontrol to trying to figure out what wentwrong.

A three-touchdown lead in the fourth quar-ter vanished in less than three minutes asvisiting Andrews rallied to stun the host

Vikings 29-28 on Friday night.The Wildcats swiped this one from North -

literally - coming up with a strip and scoreand then recovering another Viking fumblewhich led to the go-ahead touchdown late.

“What do you say? You are up 28-7, thenthey beat us 29-28. I can’t explain it,” CoachFrank Sessoms of North said. “You are talk-ing one good good drive at that point in the

ball game and we put the ball on the groundtwice ... it’s just disappointing when you’vegot the lead like that ... (Andrews) stepped upand we didn’t.”

At the 9:12 mark in the fourth quarter,Ethan Smith bulldozed his way into the endzone for a touchdown. Jeremy Goins ran inthe conversion for a 28-7 cushion.

been the go-to guy so farfor the Wildcats (419 rush-ing, 484 passing yards),who will likely need otherbig threats to step upagainst the Bears.

Linebacker Jordan Hallhas anchored the front sev-en for West and the much-

improved secondary couldmatch up well with theBears’ skill position play-ers.

Special teams burnedWest the first time thesetwo teams met - when theBears’ Justin Collier lit upthe Wildcats for 182 yardson punt returns. West lostthat game 60-21.

This game will be emo-tional, hard-hitting and

could go right down to thewire.

Like West Stokes, don’tbe confused by the Bears’2-2 record coming in. Thetwo losses came to power-ful Starmount andThomasville teams, both ofwhich are 5-0.

Wildcat Stadium typical-ly boasts one of the bestFriday night atmospheresin the area - with tail-gaters arriving early andone of the most rowdy stu-dent sections after kickoff.West has enjoyed signa-ture state playoff wins ineach of the last two sea-sons.

An upset special againstmighty Mount Airy couldopen the door for a free-for-all chase for the Northwest1A/A Conference crown.

Staff Report

Dustin Ackley scored the go-ahead runand went 2-for-5 with a home run and tworuns scored as the AAA Tacoma Rainiersclinched the Pacific Coast League cham-pionship last week.

The Rainiers, who beat the MemphisRedbirds 10-6 to complete the seriessweep, advanced to play the InternationalLeague champion Columbus Clippers on

Tuesday night in Oklahoma City in theAAA Championship Game.

The game was scheduled to be televisednationally on Versus.

Ackley, a native of Walnut Cove, wasthe first round draft pick (second overall)by the Seattle Mariners last year. Ackleyplayed collegiate baseball at North Car-olina and high school ball at South Stokesand North Forsyth.

Ackley helps Tacoma win Pacific Coast League title

and they’ve responded to Coach Whittand the defensive staff.”

That defense will be tested on Fridayagainst the Bears, who run a lot of playsout of the I-formation. Mount Airy re-turns dual threat QB Ben Hinson andboasts a very good running back in JordanSchwartz.

“They return many of their starters onoffense. Their quarterback, Ben Hinson, isvery elusive and very good. He’s been inthat offensive system since Little League,They are good at what they do and theydon’t make mistakes. Their offensive line isvery good. They can give you a lot of prob-lems with their size. Their running back istheir go-to guy, he’s a good runner.

“You have to defend the run as well astheir pass.”

Upchurch is confident the defense is upto the challenge of facing the Bears, whohad won 44 of 46 games coming into thisseason and finished the state championand state runner up the last year years.

“Jordan Hall has really moved into thatleadership role on the front seven. Our sec-ondary, Buck Southern, (Lucas) Elliott and(Bryan) Wilson, those three kids are as

good as anybody in this conference. (Tyler)Bullard is learning, he’s a phenomenal ath-lete,” he said. “Defensively, unlike the past,we don’t feel like we have any weak spots.We feel like we have 11 kids that can play.We feel good about where we are at andwhere we are headed. They are hungrykids.”

The Bears lost their first two games thisseason to Starmount and Thomasville be-fore seizing back-to-back victories againstAshe County and Monroe Parkwood thelast two weeks.

Both West and Mount Airy have had anextra week to prepare for Friday’s game.

The buzz for the game started onNCPreps.com message boards last week.

Wildcat Stadium is expected to bepacked.

In 2009, the ‘Cats fell to the Bears 60-21.“This is a game everybody has been talk-

ing about,” Upchurch said. “Mount Airy isthe defending three-time conference cham-pions ... the biggest factor is our kids havegot to play within themselves and overcomewhat happened last year. We were playinggood and then the wheels came off and wegot drilled. They’ve got to realize this is anew team, a new year and our kids haveto come out focused and ready to play.”

COURSEContinued from page B1

we’ve played this year,”Frasher said. “They werevery physical and very wellcoached. They’ve got speedto go with it. That team isdefinitely going to chal-lenge for the conferencechampionship.

“We’ve got to find a wayto secure the football andfind a way to quit makinglittle mistakes, jumping off-sides, we had some un-forced errors. When the de-fense finally gets a threeand out, we mishandle thepunt.”

Like its county rivals upnorth, South was alsoplagued by the turnoverbug last week.

South had five fumblesand one interception forthe game. One of the fum-bles was returned for atouchdown for Bishop.

Quarterback Jaron With-ers finished with 14 rushesfor 78 yards and middlelinebacker Zack Singletonhad a game high 14 tack-les. Frasher said he was

also pleased with the per-formance of Josh Wrightagainst the Villains.

Against Bishop, Southfell behind 21-0 after thefirst quarter and then 42-0at halftime.

The Sauras got on theboard in the fourth quarteron a safety from Singletonand then Damien Martinscored on a two-yard touch-down run.

The Sauras (1-4 overall,0-1 conference) haven’tbeaten the Vikings since a26-8 win in 2004.

“We challenged our play-ers at halftime and theyplayed hard the second half(against Bishop),” Frashersaid. “We should have a lotof people here on Fridaynight. It’s our fourth homegame in a row. It’s impor-tant we get some successthis week. I told the kidsit’s a pivotal week.

“Coach Sessoms is agreat coach. It will be achallenge. They are good upfront, they have a good run-ning game and a savvyquarterback who can burnyou passing. They are agood football team and weare looking forward to the

challenge.“(Monday) in practice

there was sort of a buzzamong our kids. Wheneveryou play an in-county rivalyou don’t have to fire themup.”

Then things started tounravel.

Quarterback Ian Curtisand the Wildcats convert-ed two big yardage passplays and Curtis scored ona keeper that cut it to 14after the extra point.

On the ensuing drive, TJSonafrank ran up the mid-dle and had the footballknocked free by Dylan Per-rone, who rumbled 30yards for another TD. Jere-miah Jacobs scored theconversion run to make it28-22 with plenty of timeleft on the clock.

Goins fumbled onNorth’s next possessionand one play later, JordanCollins dashed 45 yardsfor a touchdown. ZachPyle’s extra point made it29-28.

“(Jordan) has got greatvision. What makes that

play happen is NorthStokes wants so hard tomake a stop they overrunand then (Jordan) has gotsomewhere to go,” CoachDane Rickett of Andrewssaid. “I can’t fault them forwanting to make a play.”

North would get two of-fensive possessions in thefinal five minutes but wasunable to get a first downon either drive.

Andrews lost at home toNorth 38-26 in 2009.

From the get-go, itlooked as if the Vikingswere on their way to a re-peat performance.

North had a 15-playopening drive and finishedwith 50 carries for 241rushing yards - led byGoins (12 carries, 97yards), Sonafrank (16 car-ries, 78 yards) and DillonRogers (14 carries, 39yards).

“I told the kids it waslike we were in a timewarp (early on),” Rickett

said. “We went back threeyears to where this pro-gram used to be ... we justkept telling the guys tokeep playing. I thought ifwe come back get a scoreor two, we’d be OK ... I’mshocked. Not saying I did-n’t believe in them, butthat is so far from whatwe’ve been able to do inthe past to where they arenow.”

Curtis was 13 of 18passing for 170 yards witha touchdown and two in-terceptions. The Wildcatsrushed 29 times for 108yards - led by Collins (16carries, 94 yards).

Andrews, out of theSmoky Mountain Confer-ence, had a long bus rideback home back to thewestern mountains -roughly 270 miles fromDanbury.

“We love it out here,”Rickett said. “Coach Ses-soms is without a doubtone of the finest men I

know. He was good whenthey came to Andrews lastyear and whipped us. He’sgood guy. We like playinghim. I don’t know if we cancontinue. It cost us $2500to come here, but we justenjoy everything aboutNorth Stokes.”

Sessoms said he would-n’t mind continuing toplay the Wildcats.

In 2009, the team trav-eled to Andrews, and wentwhitewater rafting the fol-lowing Saturday.

“It’s a team like us. Asmall school. Our footballtraditions are a lot alike,”Sessoms said. “It’s a goodtrip for the kids.”

Sonafrank had severalbig runs to set up North’sfirst touchdown of thenight - a 1-yard run fromRogers in the second quar-ter. Curtis was picked offby Colby Wood later in thequarter off a deflectedpass but North stalled onits next drive.

Smith intercepted an er-rant pass from Curtis justbefore halftime and Northcame away with pointsthis time - a 9-yard runfrom Goins.

Following a turnover onspecial teams, Wood threwa touchdown pass toAustin Barefoot - cappingoff a 52-yard drive.

Defensively, Smith had12 tackles and the inter-ception, Dustin Mabe hadnine tackles and JustinBrewer recorded ninetackles, a fumble recoveryand a sack.

Up next for the Vikings(2-2) is a trip to WalnutCove to take on the much

improved South StokesSauras, a big county rival.

A year ago, North beatthe Sauras 48-0.

Adult Co-Ed RagBall Tourneyset for Oct. 2

Ashe County Parks and Recre-

ation is hosting an Adult Co-Ed Rag-

Ball Softball Tournament on Oct. 2 at

Family Central. Entry fee for each

team is $100 with a four game guar-

antee. Prizes will be awarded to the

winning team of the tournament.

RagBall is a variation of adult

slow pitch softball, which uses a soft-

ball filled with textile fabrics, which

has limited flight. RagBall is intended

to be an enjoyable sport for the par-

ticipants, as it is played on a youth

sized field to increase the action for

each player.

Each team will play 10 players in

the field, with at least 5 females. In

the batting lineup, two consecutive

positions may not be male batters

due to Co-Ed variation in rules. For

male batters that are walked, they

are awarded first and second base

automatically, and then the following

batter, a female is granted first base

as well.

Ashe County Parks and Recre-

ation will supply the RagBalls to be

used during the games, and any ASA
