At right, VGCC Reba Bullock, college liaison shown on the far right side of the photo, talks with Granville Early College High School students on the grounds at the college's South Campus between Butner and Creedmoor during a student orientation session. In recent years, Vance-Granville Community College has reflected on its proud past as it celebrated a 40th anniversary and faced the challenges of the present as enrollment hit new record highs in a time of economic uncertainty. At the same time, the college has been looking to the future. A recent planning process, which included gathering input from concerned citizens and business leaders, resulted in a new VGCC Strategic Plan. Granville County leaders played a key role in that process by participating in a forum at the college's South Campus, located between Creedmoor and Butner. The participants discussed issues such as preparing students to compete in a global marketplace and what the college should do to support workforce and economic development for the area. "The goal of the planning process is to identify local economic, social, cultural and educational needs, and then to Positioning students for success College's campuses play pivotal roles school systems, GECHS gives students a chance to earn both a high school diploma and a two-year college degree (or up to two years of college-transferable credit) over five years, tuition-free.

One of four such high Continued on page 14 schools operated by the college and local `One size doesn't fit all' in Granville schools Variety of programs critical to learning Dr. Tim Farley, Superintendent of Granville County Schools, has a teenage son to whom he refers often when discussing schools and education with his School Board or with the public. Whether the son likes being held up as an example or not, the fact that Dr. Farley has a child in the school system he runs has a bearing on his approach to the job. "I don't want my own son to fail," he says. "So why would I want yours to?" Perhaps this approach, and the fact that he himself likes to play video games, has prompted Dr. Farley to suggest to the school board that "classroom learning should be like a video game." He continues by describing some of the game attributes he would desire, such as well organized material, immediate feedback, full engagement and a chance to try again. To those ends, Dr. Farley and his administrative team, with the backing of the Board of Education, have concentrated on providing a variety of programs. He frequently uses the motto, "One size doesn't fill all." Before Dr. Farley arrived on the scene about four years ago, Granville County Schools had already earned a reputation of being progressive, willing to try new ideas, leading the way in attempting to improve education opportunities in the county. For example, the county had been a recipient of grants that let it develop the "small schools" concept. The result is that today, there are two schools on each of the J.F. Webb and South Continued on page 22 Granville Today 5 Students at South Granville High School have been provided with laptop computers. 6 Granville Today Downtown young fashions "A Children's Shoppe" Traditional Styles to Trendy Looks nan's 919-693-6813 112 College St. � Oxford, NC 27565 www.nansyoungfashions.com Granville Residential, Inc. 128 Williamsboro Street, NC 27565 Sunrise Biscuits of Oxford 919-693-6178 Fax: 919-693-5367 Hours: Mon-Sat: 5:30am � 1:30pm Sun: 6:00am � 1:00pm Serving Breakfast & Lunch Custom Home Plans Additions � Plan Modifications Lee Hight Connie P Bowen . 202 Hillsboro St. Oxford, NC 27565 (919) 690-1051 Oxford An Upscale Salon in Downtown Oxford Granville Today 7 LeVon Nails Salon Matisse Polka Dot express 133 Main Street Oxford, NC 27565 Mon-Fri 9am - 7:30pm Sat 9am - 6:30pm Walk-Ins Welcome 919-339-4588 Specializing in Colour/Colour Correction, Precision Cutting (Trained Vidal Sassoon in London), Waxing, Gift Certificates Available 100 Broad St. � Oxford, NC 27565 123 Old Warehouse Square Oxford, NC 27565 919-939-6560 919-603-0276 Clothing, Accessories, & Much More!

The county boasts five incorporated communities where residents enjoy the quiet of Granville's rolling countryside on the cusp of the state's most vibrant technological, medical and industrial center -- the Triangle region of North Carolina. Granville County, scarcely a half-hour away from the urban areas of Durham and Raleigh, has its own forward-looking industries, of course -- from the state's innovative Biofuels Center of North Carolina to the Revlon plant, but its small communities and rolling farmland give the county its distinctive flavor. Economic advances in Granville have only enhanced the small-town atmosphere enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. And nowhere is that more evident than in the many festivals and celebrations that take place throughout the county. Here's a snapshot of some of Granville's popular festivals: � Butner Chicken Pickin', held on the first Saturday in June on Central Avenue at Gazebo Park, features a Chicken Pickin' cooking contest, a street dance, and an antique car show that attracts as many as 200 antique and vintage automobiles. Scores of vendors line the street for the event. � Butner also joins the city of Creedmoor in sponsoring the Butner-Creedmoor Fireworks Display held on the July 4 weekend each year at Lake Holt on Old Highway 75. � The Creedmoor Music Festival is held on the third Saturday in September on Main Street. The event features vendors that offer a variety of arts, crafts and foods in a carnival-like atmosphere. Door prizes are given away from the main stage about every two hours. � The Grassy Creek Christmas Parade has mushroomed into a huge regional event in its 27 year history, says co-founder Pratt Winston. The parade takes place in the tiny Grassy Creek community on the second Saturday in December and stretches for more than a mile, with participants and floats from numerous nearby and distant communities, including some in Virginia, Winston said. The parade can take Granville Today ! 9 Continued on page 10 10 Granville Today Vacuum Cleaner Solutions "SaleS & Service" Fred & diane HeatH, OwnerS Store 919-693-0101 � Cell 919-482-0618 Granville County Historical Society Museums Two adjacent locations in downtown Oxford: Granville History Museum � 110 Court Street A permanent exhibit of the county's history! for Miele � Royal � Hoover � Dirt Devil Nutone & Many More We Service Kirby, Electrolux, & Bissell We also carry Bags, Belts, Filters, Parts & Fragrances for all models Residential-Commercial-Central Authorized Service Center Harris Exhibit Hall: 1 Museum Lane Rotating exhibits every three months on science, history, art, or culture.

And, yes, there's a pepper-eating contest, presumably with local volunteer fire departments on standby. Visitors can watch North Carolina artist Dan Nelson as he creates a Festival on Canvas. The Granville County Museum is open with its "September Sensations Bazaar" as the Harris Exhibit Hall for the contest. The gardeners sale is a popular draw, and the festival offers scores of activities for children. � Stem, which is celebrating its centennial in 2011, is staging an event that features local roots music, food vendors, games and a variety of activities and events for people of all ages, according to Mayor Nancy Alford. � Stovall, in the northern reaches of Granville County, celebrates each year with a Stovall Day festival held in May. Mayor Janet Parrott said Stovall Day captures the essence of small-town America with a pieeating contest, music, food and displays of arts and crafts. � The Granville County Chamber of Commerce adds to the entertainment across the county with three Alive After Five concerts each year. Two are staged in Oxford and a third in either Creedmoor or Butner. The events, which run from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m., feature beach music by bands such as the Embers, Chairmen of the Board, the Legends of Beach and the Castaways.

From tobacco to tomatillos, Granville is growing goodness Agriculture is still very much a part of the landscape of Granville County, as local farmers continue to grow traditional crops like tobacco, soybeans, corn and wheat. But local farmers are also embracing a diverse variety of new crops and marketing strategies as well. Tobacco is still the largest agricultural cash crop in the county, said Paul Westfall, director of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, Granville County Center. Between 3,300 to 3,500 acres of tobacco were grown in the county in 2009, even though the way in which tobacco is marketed has changed dramatically, he said. "Farmers now contract directly with the buyer, but it's become harder and harder for farmers to get those contracts to grow tobacco," he said. In addition to tobacco, Granville County farmers also produced approximately 3,400 acres of corn in 2009, along with two local producers of pasture-raised meats who are selling directly to consumers as well, Westfall said. The Granville County Cattleman's Association promotes its role in the county's agricultural community each year with its annual beef roast, held annually at the Granville County Livestock Arena on Cannady's Mill Road. Held the third Friday of June each year, the association's members roast 2,000 pounds of round roasts in an earthen pit at the arena, and serve it up with a baked potato and salad to more then 2,000 participants. Proceeds from the event help fund scholarships that the association has endowed at Vance-Granville Community College and N.C. State University to assist students from Vance and Granville counties who want to pursue a degree related to agriculture. Bailey Farms specializes in fresh chile peppers. 3,600 acres of soybeans and 4,500 acres of wheat. Hay was produced on 12,000 acres in the county. Livestock operations are also still a part of the agricultural profile for the county. Five dairies operate in the county, Westfall said, in addition to farms raising 4,500 head of cattle for beef production. Bailey Newton of Triple B Farms and Doan and Bette Laursen from Goose River Farm are Continued on page 12 2.25", full graphic of on. Inforead as 12 Granville Today ners reet Oxford Dry Cleaners 1007 College Street Oxford, NC 919-693-1816 CROPS, from page eleven While many farmers continue to pursue traditional agricultural paths, other Granville County growers are striking out in new directions. With the rise in demand for locally and organically grown produce and meats, some farms are pursuing new products and marketing them directly to the consumer through farmers' markets and other outlets, Westfall said. Farmer Doreathy Booth contacted Granville County horticulture agent Carl Cantaluppi in 2005 looking for a new crop that she could grow for her farmer's market stand. Cantaluppi suggested seedless table grapes and went to work helping Booth find funding and assistance to get her new venture off the ground. Cantaluppi applied for and received a $15,000 grant from N.C. A&T State University to help Booth pay for start-up expenses. He suggested 14 varieties of grapes for her to try. Her first harvest in 2007 yielded 900 pounds of grapes which she sold for $3.50 a pound at the Durham Farmer's Market, Canteluppi said. A hailstorm damaged the crop severely in 2008, but in 2009, she harvested 2,100 pounds of fruit. The new offering was a hit. "These are thin-skinned, seedless grapes that you can pop in your mouth like candy," said Canteluppi. Canteluppi is also conducting similar trials with asparagus in hopes of attracting farmers to that high-value crop. The extension service's 4-H program, which traditionally focused on agriculturerelated activities, is also changing with the times and branching out to embrace new areas of interest. Granville County 4-H conducts both summer programs and year-round programs, including four afterschool programs in Granville County that focus on agriculture, science and nature,w said Jamie Haddix, 4-H youth development extension agent. Keeping agriculture alive in the county will be dependent on attracting a new generation interested in returning to the farm, said Westfall. "There are very few young farmers coming into the county," he said, "and a lot of our current farmers are aging out." Many farming endeavors are expensive to finance up front, he added, which creates an additional hurdle for young farmers. "We need to find a way to get the next generation to come back to the farm." press!

South Campus Dean Cecilia Wheeler has been pleased to see her facility expand over the years into not only a place where students succeed, but also a vital resource. "The seminar room created during our last renovation has become a central hub for southern Granville County, being used by businesses and other community groups," Wheeler said. VGCC's scientific and technical programs seek to develop a workforce that is attractive to new and expanding industries. One such program is Bioprocess Technology, which prepares individuals to work as process technicians in biological products manufacturing facilities. Students train in the state-of-theart Biotechnology lab on the college's main campus and get real-world experience at local companies or organizations such as the Oxford-based Biofuels Center of North Carolina. Programs such as this work handin-hand with Triangle North -- the network of four business parks created by Granville, Franklin, Vance and Warren counties -- to attract 21st-century jobs and investment to the region. One of VGCC's newest programs, Global Logistics Technology, attempts to leverage the area's geographic advantages and the presence of several distribution facilities in Granville. VGCC logistics graduates will be prepared for a multitude of career opportunities in distribution, transportation and manufacturing organizations that move products and materials through a global supply chain. In an average year, the college holds classes at 55 locations in Granville, serving over 4,500 students. One of those locations is the dining facility of the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford, where the two-year Culinary Technology program is located. As part of their education, Culinary students operate The Vanguard Caf� at the home. Students prepare and serve lunch for the public several times each fall and spring semester, which not only gives them a realistic way to practice their kitchen and hospitality skills, but also serves up American and international cuisine that local diners won't find anywhere else. Area residents can call Chef Ross Ragonese at (919) 690-0312 for more information and to make reservations for lunch at the caf�. Granville Today 15 Granville is home to the Biofuels Center of North Carolina, above, developing biofuels to reduce the state's dependence on imported liquid fuels. At right, Granville announces Triangle North, a complex of four industrial parks. Accessible � Affordable � Available Accessibility, affordability and availability are major factors businesses consider when deciding where to locate, according to Jay Tilley, economic development director for Granville County. And those three factors are what Granville offers. The county's location astride Interstate 85 makes many of the area's potential industrial/business sites extremely accessible. With U.S. I intersecting with I-85 in neighboring Vance County to the north and U.S. Highway 70 doing the same in Durham County to the south, truckers can easily reach almost any part of Granville County. "I-85 puts us in the game more than Granville County always on ready for economic development any single factor," Tilley says. Air travel and shipping are available at the recently expanded Raleigh-Durham International Airport, while the OxfordHenderson Airport can accommodate corporate aircraft. Affordability starts with land prices, which Tilley estimates to be less than half those in the Research Triangle area. And space, which is becoming more and more limited in the state's metropolitan areas, is available in Granville County. To capitalize on these and other assets, Granville County formed a partnership with three other counties to form Continued on page 16 16 Granville Today Piedmont Park & & Gardens, LLC 200 Hillsboro St. Oxford, NC 27565 Come live with us... Manufactured Home Community Professionally Managed By Manufactured Housing Enterprise DEVELOPMENT, from page fifteen Triangle North, a complex of four industrial parks, each with its own attributes to attract companies looking for new locations. The four counties are working closely with the Research Triangle Regional Partnership to market Triangle North. Tilley points to Dill Air Controls Products as one of the recent Granville County success stories. The company purchased the former Lenox plant, which it had been leasing. As a result, the company's 84 jobs will remain in Granville County. Dill serves many markets, including aircraft, trucks, passenger cars, bicycles, air conditioning, industrial fuel and construction equipment. Tilley reports that Granville County is home to another cutting-edge industry, the Biofuels Center of North Carolina, which he describes ironically as "a well-kept secret." Located at 901 Hillsboro Street in Oxford, the Biofuels Center is developing biofuels to reduce the North Carolina's dependence on imported liquid fuels, which contribute nothing to the state's agriculture, forestry or manufacturing economy. The southern end of Granville County offers its own advantages. Scottie Wilkins, who manages business development and transportation projects for Creedmoor, says the town is balancing the competing demands of infrastructure, transportation, preservation and quality of life as it pursues economic development. "We are developing as smart as we can, not just as much as we can," she says. Adjacent to the city, the Creedmoor Business Park contains 76+ acres with easy access to Interstate 85 via Highway 56, which runs alongside the park. The site, owned by The Rogers Group, has a 156,000-square-foot building available, with the potential of fitting several different combinations of manufacturing, shipping and office space. The addition of 300+ acres of shovelready land and a pre-built 150,800-squarefoot building makes Butner ready for business as Falls Lake Commerce Center is conveniently located just off Exit 189 of Interstate 85. This and many of the excellent sites and buildings are available, and the people of Granville County and surrounding areas are anxious to go to work.

Fortunately for its current citizens, that history is being preserved through establishments like the Granville County Historical Society Museums, Oak Ridge Heritage House and George Shaw Museum. The historical society museums, open Wednesday through Saturday, experienced substantial growth in the previous decade and director Pam Thornton is hoping for further advancement in the near future. Thornton hopes fundraising for expansion of the Harris Exhibit Hall property on Museum Lane, located in downtown Oxford, will begin by early 2011. Thornton, director since 1997, estimates the cost of the potential project to be around $250,000 to $285,000. Expansion to the 64-year-old building would increase storage, workshop and exhibit space. The building opened in 2000 and houses exhibits in art, science, history, and music that change every three months. Thornton says the society's exhibits are geared toward both kids and adults. John Penn, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born in Granville County. "It's a big draw, just the fact that we have so much history here," said Thornton. The historical society and museum buildings are steeped in county lore themselves. Harris Hall was constructed in 1946, Continued on page 18 Persaline Satterwhite of the Granville County Museum, in photo at top, explains how education has evolved from one-room schoolhouses in Granville to today's modern facilities.

The museum building next door housed prisoners of Granville County for over 100 years. Now, it contains two stories of county education, military and farming history. "We needed to have something on Granville County that people coming through wanting to know something about the county can always see," Thornton said. Just around the corner from these museums lies a shrine to another influential local. The George C. Shaw Museum, on East McClanahan Street, was originally the home of its namesake, one of Granville County's leading educators. Dr. Shaw, the son of two slaves, founded Mary Potter Academy and Timothy Darling Presbyterian Church in the late 19th century. The Shaw house was built in 1921 by shop students at Mary Potter and opened as a museum in 2000 after school alumni restored the dwelling. Museum Executive Director Alva Pettway and Assistant Director Rita Tyler both began working for the museum two years ago. "If you can imagine, take yourself back to the era that he fought all the obstacles he had to in order to establish the school," said Pettway. "Look how hard it would be today in the era we're in to start a school. And that's without the added burden of discrimination in the South. And yet he did that, and was able to establish this school that had a great reputation." Visitors can access the Shaw home Wednesday through Saturday. About 12 miles north of Oxford in the small community of Oak Hill, Alma PeaceBullock and her husband, Mack, are doing their part to preserve African-American history. The Bullocks founded the Oak Hill Heritage House Museum and Research Library in 2006. While the museum emphasizes AfricanAmerican culture, Alma says there's a little something for everyone in Oak Hill. History buffs can schedule an appointment to tour the museum or visit open house every fifth Sunday.

Granville Today 19 Ballfields, greenways and lots of fun await Granville County residents and visitors. From baseball to lake-side activities, recreation is one of Granville County's largest attractions. Looking for a splash pool for the kids to cool off in the summertime? Granville's huge athletic park has one. Searching for an interesting trail to walk for exercise? Granville has greenways. Horses your thing? Granville County has horses. And there's something new on the high school athletic scene -- a lacrosse team. One of the best known facilities in the area is the Granville Athletic Park (GAP). Located at the Jonesland Environmental Preserve, the 70-acre athletic park hosts many local sporting events and tourna- Keeping fit in Granville ments. Upgraded at the end of 2008, several facilities were added to park, nearly doubling its original size. The athletic park currently has two baseball fields, five multipurpose fields, a practice field, asphalt walking trails, an outdoor amphitheater with a covered stage, a playground, concession stand, a sports pavilion with a basketball court and a conference room. All facilities are rented out, with the exception of the walking trails, which are free to the public. The park also added a splash pool/spray park for young children during the upgrade. Larry Salisbury, GAP park superintendent, said the splash pool is one of park's most popular facilities. The walking trails at the athletic park are a part of the greenways in Granville County. This, along with the ButnerStem School Trail, which is one-third of a mile, make up the formal greenways in the county. There are several upcoming greenway projects in Oxford, Butner and Creedmoor. Oxford Parks and Recreation has several recreational areas, including Lake Devin Park. Open from March 1 to Dec. 31, Lake Devin has several fishing piers and a boat ramp for non-gas motorized boats. The park also has 2.5 miles of nature trails and picnic areas. A shelter and an outdoor volleyball facility are available. The Red Barn, Continued on page 20 20 Granville Today REALTY FITNESS, from page nineteen an actual barn overlooking the Devin Lake, brings in many visitors to the park, according to Mary Caudle, director for Oxford Parks and Recreation. The Oxford Recreation Center, known as Hix, is another popular facility operated by the Oxford recreational department. Located on Spring Street in Oxford, the center has a gym with one basketball/volleyball court along with a fitness room, a dance/aerobics room and locker rooms. Seating 300 people, the gym is reserved for recreation department programs and events. Hix also has several multi-use fields and tennis courts. For those interested in horses, Bayfield Farms provides several horse-related activities. Bayfield offers beginning to advanced riding lessons held on a weekly basis with private lessons offered on Saturdays. These lessons are taught by co-founder Kevin Gilliam. Children beginners, who must be at least 6 years old, start with private lessons and then join a group lesson that is held on Fridays. Intermediate and advanced lessons are offered for all ages. An adult lesson, that includes beginner to advance riders, is held on Wednesdays. Lessons can be taken on a provided horse or an individual's horse. Bayfield also has training and boarding for all breeds of horses. Gilliam also offers a summer camp that lasts for about one week. Bayfield also hosts the Granville County 4-H Horseflies, which is a horse club lead by Gilliam. The club focuses on horse education where members, ages 7 to 18, participate in community service projects, take photographs, make crafts related to horses, and assist with a horse show. In addition to area recreation, one local high school recently expanded its athletic department. J.F. Webb High's School of Health and Life Sciences introduced a lacrosse team for the spring 2010 sports season. The varsity team's first season had 27 players. "We played against tough and experienced teams," coach David Farabee said. Farabee, also a science teacher at the school, described the season as "very exciting." Farabee set up a summer lacrosse team, Oxford Crossfire, that competed in three tournaments throughout the summer, and eventually he hopes to help start a youth lacrosse league. "This is an exciting time for lacrosse," Farabee noted. www.stonyhillrealty.com Phone: 919.229.4221 Mobile: 919.637.6883 email@example.com WILKINS SHERIFF GRANVILLE COUNTY SHERIFF BRINDELL B. email@example.com 1012 Traders Trail Wake Forest, NC 27587 Becky Martin Broker/owner SRES Kerr-Vance academy academics � � � � � aThleTics The arTs low sTudenT-Teacher raTio aP/honors classes no-cuT sPorTs Policy Before and afTer school & VacaTion care aVailaBle Bus serVice in GranVille, franKlin, & waKe counTies A Fully Accredited, Independent College Preparatory School Serving K4-12th Grade With an Onsite Program for 2- to 3- year olds 700 Vance academy road � Henderson, nc 27537 252-492-0018 � www.kerrVance.com Granville Today 21 This artist rendering illustrates a 32,000-square-foot construction project that will be the largest in Granville Health System's history. Granville Health System Dedicated to Quality For more than 90 years, Granville Health System (GHS) has been delivering quality health care, close to home. To meet the community's growing needs, GHS has expanded its services throughout Granville County, offering convenient access to medical care where you work and live. Granville Health System has recently received a number of national awards, including the Hospital of Choice Award which names GHS as one of the top 100 hospitals in the country. In 2010, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina designated the health system's Granville Medical Center as a Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement. This recognition sets Granville Health System as a top provider for these orthopaedic services in the Triangle area, including Oxford, Henderson, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and the surrounding areas. GHS was given this designation because it has demonstrated a commitment to quality care, resulting in excellent overall outcomes for patients who undergo knee and hip replacement procedures at Granville Medical Center. Granville Health System also received the Community Value Index five-star hospital award, placing GHS in the top 20% of hospitals in the country in offering financial value to the communities they serve, while reinvesting back into their facilities in order to provide for current and emerging health needs. In January 2011, GHS will continue to position itself to accommodate the future medical needs of the community through the GHS Expansion Plan. This ambitious 32,000 -square-foot construction project is the largest in the organization's history. It includes a new Emergency Department that will grow from 3,135- to 18,000-square feet; expanded Surgical Services; a larger Laboratory Department; a new, larger lobby and admissions area; and additional patient and visitor parking. As Granville Health System moves forward, implementing a long-term approach of strategic growth, the GHS Expansion Plan ensures the hospital will continue to deliver new health care technology and expand services throughout the area.

In 2010, some leaders saw that need and started an effort to meet it; by year's end, they expected to have a program in place. To operate such a club, the Granville leaders turned to the North Central North Carolina Boys and Girls Clubs, which already had programs going in Vance and Franklin counties. Before the year ended, leaders had chosen a site, an old gym across the street from the historic old Mary Potter School in the heart of Oxford. Their fund-raising effort was well on its way to success, led by a steering committee headed by Xavier Wortham and Cynthia Yancey. The group headed by those two will continue as a steering committee to advise and oversee the work of the administrative organization.

Performance by Granville students in such measurements as end-of-course and endof-grade testing, for both state and federal programs, have shown progress, says Stan Winborne, the director of testing. Dr. Farley's presentation also listed some aspects of his vision. Students and teachers should want to go to school, he said, and they should expect to achieve. The schools should provide maximum engagement, make students feel valued and prepare them for the world after school. Part of the system's strategy is to provide quality facilities, and to that end in 2010 planning was underway for a new elementary school in the southeastern part of the county, where population growth has continued. That will make nine such schools, which feed four middle schools and the five high schools on three high school campuses. As is the case in most school systems, there is a funding need, and Granville sees an urgent need to expand the newest high school, Granville Central, probably the next building project. There are more than 9,000 students in Granville County, served by more than a thousand full-time employees using a budget of more than $72 million. But while Dr. Farley and his administration see the funding problems that school systems have faced, he often stresses that money is not his main concern. Improvement in education is the main goal, he said, with solving the money problem just a means to that end. And as he told his School Board before he came to Granville, and afterward, he intends to keep the end in mind. That may be one reason his colleagues across the region named him the 2010 Regional Superintendent of the Year. It was an honor given by educators from several counties, but which had been initiated by the School Board and backed by the Granville County Board of Commissioners. Support by such leadership has helped Dr. Farley and his team in developing a school system that Granville citizens point to with pride.

Danny Grant (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
As a huddersfield fan i understand Dean Hoyle's decision as he's spent alot more money than most championship managers! The club has been like a revolvoing door for players. People like Donal Mcdermott and Robbie Simpson have come and immediettley gone. It seems impossible for clark to sign some good centre midfielders as he says that anton Robinson is a good player but has only started half a dozen times. There were more resons for Lee Clark to go than stay. We need a more expirienced manager like Neil Warnock. Who wouldn't want to work for a trusting chairman with a bag load of money.

I first attended a Huddersfield Town game in 1969,and since that initial successful feeling watching the likes of Frank Worthington and Jimmy Nicholson,I have experienced lots of disappointments along the way e.g. Relegation from Division 1 to Division 4 in 4 seasons,but the sacking of Lee Clark,who has been our most successful manager for many years is at the top of the list. This sacking cannot be purely about results on the field so maybe it is about looking toward next season when a club's wage limit is capped,and at Huddersfield we have the largest squad in the division,and if promotion isn't achieved this season,then we will have a mass exodus of players going on to better positioned clubs,leaving HTAFC in potential freefall again.Perhaps Dean Hoyle no longer has faith in Lee Clark's ability to achieve promotion,but with a long way to the end of the season and an almost nailed-on Play Off spot,if not automatic promotion,I can only assume that there is much more behind this story than the fans will ever know,because I cannot think of a more appropriate manager to take over from Lee Clark and achieve more than has been achieved so far by him. Every fan is entitled to his/her opinion,but how many more managers are we going to have at HTAFC before one is lucky enough to steer us out of this very difficult division? When at the end of this season when Huddersfield do not achieve promotion,EVERYONE will blame Lee Clark for not achieving promotion the previous two seasons,and not Dean Hoyle for not having the courage to wait until the season's finale. This is Lee Clark's team,and there is no way it will perform any better for someone else at this stage of the season. I FOR ONE WISH LEE CLARK GREAT SUCCESS WITH WHICHEVER CLUB IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO EMPLOY HIM!!

The writing has been on the wall for a while now. Dean Hoyle stated last summer that top two was the only option for this season. At the beginning of January he said there would be no signings in Time to go? Yes I think so, two years ago we played expansive football, but in recent times Lee Clark put too much emphasis on the unbeaten run, especially during the first half of the season, desperate to not get beaten. Wins is what we need to go up, but instead we have 13 draws, ELEVEN of those from winning positions, and 3 from being two goals up. Yes its good not to lose but the players look too frightened of losing to go out and play to their capabilities. If we dont go up Rhodes and Hunt will surely follow Pilkington and Peltier out of the club.

Chris Morris (Liverpool fan) says...
Might as well just go and sack every other manager in the league, what an awful decision. If you can't please your chairman and fans after losing only 3 games in 55 then what else can you do. Sitting comfortably in the play off positions as well, used to be my favourite league 1 team who I always kept an eye on, but now I hope whoever takes charge doesn't take them up. Time for a reality check

Granville Hall (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Peter, Do you need to hear more? The chopping and changing of players led to no consistancy or confidence. Would I have backed them for promotion with Lee Clark in charge - No. Will we get promoted now? - possibly if we get a bit more steel and organisation. There are capable players at Town.

Tom Lloyd (Newcastle United fan) says...
As a Newcastle fan I have watched Huddersfield as I like to follow explayers. I'm shocked at the reaction by fans about this sacking as, lets be honest, Huddersfield arent a massive club. He has a great record. Every team go through a bad spell and its times like these they should be backed by everyone involved with the club. Who do they expect to get? Warnock, McCarthy both couldn't cut it in the PL.

For a chairman to give an inexperienced manager buckets full of cash for signings is madness, im hoping the chairman learns from his mistake too! Please bring in someone with experience Dean!

Ray Bray (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Lee Clarks team selections had become a joke. Since Jan 2009 to present day we have had 44 different players in the squad. You could count the number of times the same starting eleven played consecutively on one hand. The amount of funds he has had can only be described as incredible. Dean Hoyle has supported him throughout but there comes a time when enough is enough. People talk about our unbeaten run but do you know what, it may come as a surprise to many people who keep quoting "The Run", it's points that make prizes. It's points not unbeaten runs which gets you promoted. So, please give it a rest with the "Run". Huddersfield Town under Dean Hoyle is seeing the best times for many seasons. The fans back the Chairman 100%. He pays the bills and he calls the tune, not you or I. Lee Clark once said, "Which team I put out is mine not theirs". So is the case for the Chairman to select a manager. You have to watch the team play week in week out before you can make a comment, you don't. You look at the figures but not how they were achieved. Start supporting Huddersfield Town then you can feel as if you have the right to make a comment.

Robert Hadfield (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Constant squad tinkering + poor home form + questionable loyalty = job vacancy It could be argued our excellent Chairman has been overly patient and generous in his personal sponsorship of the former manager's judgment, tactics and behaviour.

Ben North (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Lee Clark has taken the team as far as he can. Good luck to him in the future as i know he will be gutted at not finishing the job with us, but its his first job and he will learn from his mistakes. All pundits, so called experts and opposition fans are calling this mad and throwing stat after stat in our faces. However these same pundits and so called experts spend most of the time denouncing stats as only half the story and unreliable. So which is it? Yes clark sent us on a massive unbeaten run but how can you go 43 games unbeaten and not gain promotion are at least be a shoe in for promotion? The timing of the decision is questionable not the judgment.

Darg Barnett (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Peter Almost every post on here sums it up for me: Inconsistent selection and tactics More concern on the opposition than the strengths of his own players Lack of creativity in medfield Reliance on Jordan Rhodes Poor attitude when linked to other jobs (starting with Leicester soeculation) Lee is committted, hard working and passionate - I'd also add honest but I would question his integrity in some aspects recently. Our chairman is not powr mad and is also very patient. He would not have done this unduly and without great consideration. There maybe much more to this than meets the eye. Hoping that we can still attain promotion but in my eyes we are no worse off as we weren't gauranteed promotion with Lee.

David Lister (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
A shame that it hasn't worked out for Lee Clark at Huddersfield, but as a season ticket holder I've watched us go backwards this season - especially at home. The football has at times been dire. Lee Clark appeared to ditch his belief in a passing game when we got out-muscled by Millwall in the 2010 play-offs. There have been some very strange decisions this season - not least with the ceaseless rotation of a squad swollen by some generally pointless signings last summer. After close to 50 signings in three years Town are basically an ordinary side with an extraordinary striker. We have had 5 play off matches with Lee Clark in charge and have not won one of them outright. Time and time again we have been out-thought and out-fought when it comes to the big games. Sheffield United on Tuesday was just the latest.
Posted 11:51 17th February 2012
Cowshed Phil (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Peter, You say 1 defeat in 10, it was also just 4 wins in 14. Hardly automatic material. Sheff United also have two games in hand so if they win those, we are 10 points of second, despite Clark heavily spending during his 3 years at Town. He's signed 40 odd players, many of which will have been of great expense wages wise, and we've advanced no further than an asmatic ant with some heavy shopping. If it wasn't for Jordan Rhodes's sudden improvement ( a man Clark left on the bench for the second half of last season) we'd be mid table. Clark had also begun losing the plot off the pitch, picking arguments with local media. If he can't cope with a Radio Leeds presenter questioning his decisions how would he cope with greater exposure in a higher division? I think we're all glad he's gone. We're desperate for Neil Warnock to return.

Scott Castle (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
It's hard reading things like this as a Huddersfield fan because it makes a mockery of my club, every newspaper columnist and every TV reporter has portrayed the sacking as ridiculous when it is in fact far from it. Clark took over in late 2008 and had half a season to get to know his players, he seemed to want to play a nice brand of football which was very refreshing. He was then allowed to spend large amounts of money and bring in his own players during the summer. What followed was a season of fantastic football, attacking, fast tempo, proper football - we got dubbed the Arsenal of League One. It wasn't to be though, and we were soundly beaten in the playoff semi's by a very strong Millwall team. What Clark needed to do seemed simple, add a bit of strength to the team and continue as we were, promotion surely had to be ours. What happened instead was Clark seemed to slowly lose faith in his own philosophy, we stopped playing football and turned to a dire standard of football - performances dropped and we started drawing matches instead of winning. This is where the unbeaten run started, with draws that really should have been wins. We were humiliated in the playoff final and then Clark spend big AGAIN in the summer. Arguments with players seemed common this season as many were cast aside for unknown reasons - Donal McDermott was sold mere months after being signed. Add to this continued poor performances and things were not at all right. We have been going stagnating - perhaps even moving backwards - for a year now. Any fan who goes week in week out will tell you the decision was the right one, and I always say the real fans know more than the pundits who aren't there every week. Lee Clark is a top bloke, but ultimately he achieved nothing at Huddersfield apart from not losing for a while.

Andy Htfc (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
I watch every game home and away and i am just as shocked as most. I would say the only downfall for Lee is the size of the squad assembled and then not knowing what the best 11 is. Too many changes from week to week has cost him dear i feel.

Richard Bell (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Clark did a very good job in his first 2 seasons but this season has seen a big step back in the way we are playing and in results. He has brought in over 40 players in the past 3 years and has spent a few million quid along the way but we have not obtained promotion and if you had asked many town fans on wednesday if Clark would get us promoted most would have said no. The home performances this season have been dire and there has been a feeling of apathy amongst the fans, we have not performed well or shown any indication that we could win promotion. We laboured to win most games and have thrown away too many leads this season (11 in total). Clark has also continued to make many mistakes throughout his tenure and has not seemed to learn. He has 7 centre midfielders at the club but we played a full back in midfield in the second half on tuesday because our bench was ridiculous. He doesn't seem to have any ideology or style of play. We played excellent football 2 years ago. Last year we developed the knack of scraping wins 1-0 and being hard to beat without playing well. This year we have no creativity from the centre of the pitch, a tendancy to concede when ahead and our tactic appears to be hoofing to Lee and hoping a chance falls for Rhodes. No one doubts Clark's passion and desire to succeed and I am disappointed that we couldn't bring us promotion. He had a fair crack at the whip but it was clear that he needed to move on for us and him to progress. It will be interesting to see how Lee does managing a team where he doesnt have free reign to sign or ditch whoever he wants and where he has to get the best out of a small group of players. You never know, he may do well, but with the backing he had at town he was unable to deliver.

Matthew Langley (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
looking from the outside i understand the reaction from other football fans however as a huddersfield town fan i aint suprised the football this season particular at home has been awful yes we have grinded out results in some games but alot of the time the results are draws in fact 13 draws. Dean hoyle is a passionate town fan through and through and has put millions into this club if you peter put millions of pounds into your football team would you expext some kind of reward? i would the answer is promotion yes we have improved each year under clark 10th, 6th, 3th but we have fallen short each year and at the moment it looks like playoffs again. DO you understand peter?
Posted 22:51 16th February 2012
David Waters (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
We have not played well for 3 months ( 17 points from 12 games) and are drifting. There may be other factors ( Has Clark applied for the Leeds Job ) but you have to ask do you think lee will get us automatic promotion ? and most fans i know think not. The football,especially at home has been dire of late so whilst I was surprised at first on reflection I can fully understand the move. The chairman probably thought that he had nothing to loose by getting an experienced hand in to complete the job started by Lee Clark and I and most of my mates concur.

Daniel Copeland (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
While Lee Clark and Terry Mac raised the profile of the club, the owner has made it clear fom day 1 that promotion was the target but Clark has failed to achieve this despite having a bigger budget than alot of championship teams.We looked to be falling short again this year with too many draws.I felt before the Sheff Utd game that Town had to win to keep in the mix and i wasn't at all suprised to see Clark sacked after the defeat.People talk about the unbeaten run but there was as many draws as wins in it, if you draw 3 games it is equal to 2 defeats.

Matt Firth (Huddersfield Town fan) says...
Hi Peter, great article again and as a life long Huddersfield fan I thought best you here our side of the story. Lee has done a very good job at Town. Took over a mediorce team and brought players like Pilkington, Peltier and now Rhodes through who have gone on to become fantastic players in their own right. However it appears his ego was effecting the job at Town. His post match interviews showed a complete lack of respect when asked a difficult question, oftem slamming the reporter for asking the question. His tactics and substitutions are border line ridiculous and he has no way of changing a game in our favour. People say we have done well under him, but Peter you could have got us promoted with the fore mentioned players at your disposal! We have been poor for about 12 months now and if Rhodes wasnt doing what he has been we would be mid table. He and not Clark is responsible for our position in the table. You will see how good a manager Lee Clark is when he is presented with a clun e.g. Leeds and has no money and a small squad. His abilites will soon be exposed as average at best. With our squad and players we should be in Charltons position and this is why 95% of Town fans support Dean Hoyle in this decision. Thank you Lee for a job well done in making us a more attractive proposition to better managers but unfortunatley you had hit your ability barrier and wasnt going to get us up. So all those who think this is a bad decsion and are critical of Dean Hoyle please dont be, as this is a decsion which has been coming since last year. He has acted in the best interests of the club which is the most important thing.

William & Mary (0-0) at Penn State (0-0)
The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, November 14th, 6:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Bryce Jordan Center (15,261) -- State College, Pennsylvania. Television: Big Ten Network. Home Record: William & Mary 0-0, Penn State 0-0. Away Record: William & Mary 0-0, Penn State 0-0. Neutral Record: William & Mary 0-0, Penn State 0-0. Conference Record: William & Mary, Penn State 0-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The new season will begin at home for Penn State, as the Nittany Lions will host the William & Mary Tribe this evening in a non-league matchup at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Tribe were mediocre at best this past season, finishing with a 17-16 record. William & Mary put forth an average effort in CAA action as well, posting a 10-8 record, but the Tribe played their best basketball in the conference tournament before falling to George Mason in the league title game. The team does return some key players, but it is likely William & Mary will be no better than .500 this year. As for the Nittany Lions, they are coming off a lackluster season in which the team finished a game below .500. Penn State also struggled in Big Ten play, recording a meager 7-11 ledger. The Lions lose their top scorer from a year ago, but the team returns most of its starting lineup and should be ready to take a step forward this year. This will be the first-ever meeting between the Tribe and Penn State on the hardwood.
The Tribe posted back-to-back 15 win seasons for the first time since 1985, and last year the team made the conference title game for the first time in school history. CAA Coach of the Year Tony Shaver has three important players back on the court this year, beginning with guard David Schneider. Schneider, who averaged 10.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, and 3.8 apg this past season for William & Mary, is clearly the top player for coach Shaver, and should continue to lead this team in all areas. Schneider might be the most complete player for the Tribe, but Danny Sumner is the most dangerous. Sumner, who posted 10.5 ppg this past season, is a scoring threat every time he touches the ball, and could be one of the best players in the CAA this season. In all, the team returns nine letter-winners, and some newcomers, who each will be expected to contribute.
The Lions were not very impressive this past season, but coach Ed DeChellis is hoping this is the year PSU finally becomes a major player in the Big Ten. For that to happen Jamelle Cornley and Talor Battle will need to lead the way. Cornley, who has been plagued by injuries, is back after netting 12.1 ppg and grabbing 6.1 rpg. He shot 50.6 percent from the field and is only the 16th player in school history to score 1,000 points and grab 500 rebounds. Battle, who is only a sophomore, averaged 10.2 points, 3.5 caroms and 3.2 assists per contest as a rookie. Senior guard Dan Morrissey only tallied 7.6 ppg this past season, but he is a dangerous shooter who buried 58 three-points in his junior campaign. Coach DeChellis is hoping for an improvement from David Jackson as well, as the sophomore has the ability to hurt an opponent in the paint, or from the perimeter. With this much returning talent, the Lions should have high hopes entering tonight's season-opener.
The Tribe had a special run last year, but it is a new season, and opening the campaign on the road against Penn State will prove to be a difficult task. The Lions have too much talent for William & Mary, and should open their campaign on a good note.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Penn State 66, William & Mary 55

Developing Asia can sustain growth pace, risks easing: ADB
Published on Apr 1, 2014 11:57 AM
MANILA (Reuters) - Developing Asia is poised to sustain its current growth momentum and is well positioned to manage risks coming from a slightly slower Chinese economy and possible uneven demand from major industrialised nations, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said.
Asian nations can undertake preemptive measures to protect the region's growing economy from unpredictable capital inflows, said the Manila-based lender as it unveiled its forecasts for the region for 2014 and 2015.
The bank said it expects the region, grouping 45 counties in Asia-Pacific, to grow 6.2 per cent this year, slightly faster than its most recent estimate of 6.0 per cent in December, before accelerating further to 6.4 per cent in 2015.
"Most regional economies have strengthened their economic fundamentals. Looking ahead, strengthening macroprudential measures before the boom can help avert sudden capital reversals that accompany the bust," the ADB said in its Asian Development Outlook 2014.
