REFLECTIONS ON THE YEAR, DECADE Looking back before moving forward

Tragedy and triumph mark ﬁrst decade of new century

BY KARISSA MINN Staff Writer

BY ELIOT DUKE

The beginning of 2010 brings hope for those longing for a fresh start and better days ahead. Before we look forward, though, I want to take a moment to reflect on the biggest local news stories of 2009.

Staff Writer

1. Recession and Stimulus The major economic crash may have occurred in 2008, but shock waves continued to spread throughout 2009, seeming to spare no-one. Unemployment rates skyrocketed to record levels as businesses laid off workers in order to survive. Charitable organizations struggled to fill a growing number of outstretched hands with a dwindling amount of aid. North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue inherited the task of making up for the state’s $3 billion deficit, asking for funds back from already-struggling local governments and schools. N.C. “Education” Lottery, anyone? For their part, Davidson County Board of Commissioners and Thomasville City Council succeeded in balancing their own budgets. They also approved new guidelines for incentive packages, offering help to smaller businesses and making allowances for the tough economy. Newly inducted U.S. President Barack Obama worked with legislators to pass the American Recovery and Reinvest-

As the economic recession continues, many local residents who once donated to charitable organizations now find themselves among the people who benefit from them. Robert Smith, 41, of Thomasville, volunteered for Fairgrove Family Resource Center for seven years before he unexpectedly needed their help. Smith worked as a truck driver, but was laid off this fall due to the economy. His wife retained her

job as a hairstylist, but the couple began to struggle to support their four children. Then, disaster struck. “My house burned up Nov. 16,” Smith said. “[The resource center] basically fed me and my family for about week while we were in a motel. All our money was gone. If it had not been for them, me and my family would have starved.” The family has since found a place to live, and the resource center “adopted” their children for Christmas, buying them clothes, food and toys. He said that the staff and volunteers have treated him with kindness and respect,

doing everything they can to help him. “The Fairgrove Family Resource Center is a wonderful thing,” Smith said. “I’ve seen them help lot of people, including my family and some friends of mine ... It makes a big difference.” The resource center is one of the recipients of the Thomasville Times/Parks and Recreation Community Food Challenge, which has been extended until Jan. 8 to help meet the 10,000-item goal. Donors can register by calling 888-3590, and they can drop

Economy leads more people to seek help BY KARISSA MINN

The new millennium was supposed to start in darkness. As the final hours of 1999 ticked away, fears of a global technological meltdown called Y2K had everyone wondering if their money would be there once the calendar flipped. Nothing happened and we all woke up on Jan. 1, 2000, the same as the day before. It turned out that Y2K would be the least important thing in a decade that changed America like no other in history. There have been so many moments in the past 10 years that it’s hard to pick out which ones stand out the most. I could probably list a few dozen events this decade that have shaped not only us as people but the country we live in, but lets keep it to a select few. It didn’t take long for the decade to develop it first major story. In the fall of 2000, George Bush and Al Gore engaged in a very tight race for the presidency that went to the wire and beyond. Hanging chads and dimple ballots put Florida at the forefront of a presidential vote than eventually winded up in the Supreme Court. Bush was declared the winner in what would be the first of three critical elections over the next eight years. Four years later, Bush won re-election, defeating Massachusetts senator

Creasey family Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to air Jan. 31

Mr. and Mrs. Thurman Collins of Thomasille celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Dec. 13, 2009, with a surprise family luncheon hosted by their three sons and their families. The couple were married on Dec. 23, 1949, in Shelby. The family gathered at Mills Home Baptist Church Fellowship Hall for the event. The couple’s children, grandchildren and great-granchildren enjoyed this special time together. Pictures of the honored couple were on display in the church parlor, providing a story book of photographs of their life together. It was an occasion of sharing, caring and thanksgiving. Mrs. Collins, the former Patsy W. Prewitt, was born in Cliffside and is retired from Prelude Manufacturing in Thomasville. Mr. Collins was born in Lake Lure and is retired from Thomasville Furniture Industries. The Collins’ children are Chris Collins and wife Delores of West End,

licly-held lands. “Putting this special emphasis on birds in 2010 can give added depth and clarity to our interpretive programs and education efforts,” said Lewis Ledford, state parks director. “They’re a beloved part of the natural resource mosaic in our state parks.” State parks are regularly involved in annual bird counts, and the parks are among Audubon’s Important Bird Areas, sites for research about the health of bird populations and habitats. Audubon North Carolina, the state parks and the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission were also among partners that are establishing three distinct birding trails in North Carolina in an effort to combine eco-tourism and natural resource protection (http://www. ncbirdingtrail.org/). “Birds and state parks share some of the most important habitats in our state,” said Chris Canfield, executive director of Audubon North Carolina. “They also share the distinction of providing a pathway for people to connect with nature. I’m

excited by this focus for 2010 and hope all North Carolinians take advantage of it.” In addition to preparing interpretive programs, state park rangers and natural resource biologists are actively involved in projects to protect and restore habitats for some of our rare and threatened birds, such as the red-cockaded woodpecker and colonial nesting shorebirds. Park rangers and biologists also participate in multi-year bird tagging projects. State park educational programs hope to appeal to North Carolina’s bird enthusiasts, as well as inspire new bird-watching families. A 2009 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report estimated one of every five Americans is a “bird-watcher,” defined as someone who took a trip of at least one mile for the primary purpose of observing birds, or someone who closely observed and tried to identify birds around their home. These enthusiasts contributed $36 billion to the national economy in 2006, according to the report.

4 – Thomasville Times – Saturday, January 2, 2010

FROM PAGE 1 BACK From page 1 ment Act of 2009, a $787 billion stimulus package meant to retain and create American jobs. Some of that money trickled down through the state to our own local governments, helping to fund DavidsonWorks programs, construction projects and potentially the replacement of the Yadkin River Bridge on I-85. (More on that later.)

2. Wastewater Spill

What started as a small mistake became the biggest story of local origin in 2009. On Aug. 4, the City of Thomasville reported a wastewater spill into North Hamby Creek of about 385,000 gallons over two days. Following an EPA investigation, the city revised its estimate to 15.93 million gallons of wastewater, which may have been flowing into High Rock Lake for weeks. The state’s fine then increased from $1,616 to $35,116. Testing showed no significant contamination, but that was little comfort to those who swam in the water this summer. Dean Lambeth, maintenance and construction superintendent with the city public works department, resigned during the investigation. Thomasville officials have pledged to address the problems in the city’s aging sewer system — no easy task, even in a good economy.

3. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”

In one of the most inspiring stories of the year, local community members helped build the Creasey family of Lexington their dream home in just one week. Tricia Creasey, a seventh-grade teacher at Brown Middle School who is battling stage four colorectal cancer, was chosen by the TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” to receive a brand new home. The episode will air Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Tricia lived in a

1,180-square-foot house plagued with structural problems with her husband, William, and their children, Brittany, Makenzie and Makayla. After their trip to Walt Disney World and the efforts of more than 1,200 volunteers, the family now rests comfortably in a 3,100-square-foot home that they say perfectly meets their needs. Businesses and individuals in the community helped provide for the family beyond the build, donating everything from lawn care to groceries to scholarships for the children.

4. H1N1 Swine Flu The novel H1N1 strain of influenza, nicknamed the “swine flu,” changed our habits in late 2009. We bought hand sanitizer by the gallon, scrambled for flu shots and considered adopting the Howie Mandel fist-bump as a replacement for the handshake. Unlike the seasonal flu, H1N1 targets young adults. Locally, a varsity football game was cancelled when several members of the Central Davidson High School team were diagnosed with H1N1. The virus is particularly dangerous in pregnant women and people with underlying medical conditions. Several area hospitals, including Thomasville Medical Center, are still prohibiting visitors under the age of 18 to prevent its spread.

5. Election 2009 Even though the election process had just been changed in 2003, Thomasville City Council tried to alter it once again in 2009. Two referendums were placed on the November ballot that would increase the terms of its members and the mayor to four years and stagger them. They both were soundly defeated, after some local groups threatened to take legal action against what they saw as a discriminatory measure. Citizens also voted out the two longest-serving members of the city council, George Burton and Ricky Murphy,

while electing newcomer Jackie Jackson and another new — yet familiar — face. (See below.)

6. Changes at TPD The top vote-getter in November’s city council election was Thomasville Police Department’s first African-American Chief of Police. After 35 years at the department, three of them as chief, Ronald Bratton retired on Jul. 1, before beginning his city council campaign. His administrative assistant, Billie “Cookie” Dancy, soon followed. Salisbury resident Jeff Insley was chosen as Bratton’s replacement, in a controversial decision by City Manager Kelly Craver — a resident of Greensboro. A petition circulated protesting the hiring of someone from outside the police department and the Chair City. But Insley’s productive start in Thomasville has helped ease the minds of many. Maj. Tim Driggers served as interim chief until Insley was hired on Aug. 1. Driggers then announced his own retirement, after 30 years of service to TPD.

7. I-85 Yadkin River Bridge At more than 50 years old, the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River has been rated as one of the state’s worst bridges, but struggles over funding kept the state Department of Transportation from doing anything about it. So it came as a welcome relief when, early in 2009, Gov. Bev Perdue announced that she planned to pursue federal stimulus money to replace it. While North Carolina has re-

More than 1,000 cyclists spent the night in Thomasville in September as a part of Cycle North Carolina’s “Mountains to the Coast” ride, bringing an estimated $75,000 in revenue to the city. The Chair City was a morning pit stop for the event three years ago, and the organizers loved it so much that they had to come back. Talk about Southern hospitality!

9. Downtown Amphitheatre With the approval of the city council, People Achieving Community Enhancement (P.A.C.E.) created a new entertainment spot in downtown Thomasville. The amphitheater already has been used as a stage in the annual Everybody’s Day festival, and hopefully, it will bring more activity and business to the downtown area once the planned park is added. 10. DCCC Link Campus In a year of bad economic news, it was a joy to report that local philanthropists Ed Hinkle and Talmage Hinkle Silversides donated 183 acres of land to Davidson County Community College. The college then announced its plans to develop the Link Campus — named in honor of Henry T. Link, the donors’ grandfather — right across from the DCCC’s current campus on I-85 business.

Sticking to that ‘healthy’ resolution VIEWPOINT

LISA WALL Editor With the new year comes a time of reflection on days and years past. It’s a time when we look back and see where we were and how far we’ve come. Most often people reflect on things such as finances, health and family. Usually, these trips to the past result in the listing of resolutions for the future in hopes of becoming better tomorrow than we are today. Essentially, the ritual of making resolutions says that generally we are not happy with what we see in the mirror. As in most years, one of the top New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight or to develop healthy habits. While it’s commendable that we want to be healthier, meeting and keeping such lofty goals often proves easier said than done, Some already may have begun checking out local gyms and considering enrollment. As someone who has held a gym membership for more than 10 years, let me offer some sound advice. Before signing on the dotted line on a one-year contract, try paying by the visit for the first few weeks. Most gyms will allow three days to one week for someone to try out their facility, but even one week can’t determine what our long-term level of commitment will be. Find a gym that will allow you to pay by the visit and do this to see if you are going as regularly in week four as you did in week one. After one month, then make the decision. This will help to keep from paying 12 months of membership fees for something that you didn’t stick to for more than a week. Another important consideration in choosing a gym is its location. Be sure to select one close to either your home or work, as convenience is key to sticking to a routine. With more and more people wanting to lose weight or get fit, there is a number of fitness centers now available to choose from. Some offer modest amenities, such a free weight room, cardiovascular machines and assisted

weight machines, while others include heated pools, saunas and indoor tracks. Of course, the latter facilities generally will have a higher monthly fee than a basic gym. Decide how often you’ll actually take advantage of those extra services and equipment before signing on to a higher monthly fee. Having a buddy system in place usually can be beneficial to staying focused on a new exercise regime, but beware of the disappearing friend. When I first joined a gym, I signed up with a good friend and coworker, who assured me she equally committed to going. She quit after day two, claiming that she couldn’t stand to be that sore. Regardless of losing my workout partner, I stuck to it. Be sure that you are willing to continue even if your friend disappears. Once the decision is made to join, try and stick to a three or four-day-a-week regimen. Working out more than that will not necessarily provide any better results and may just cause burnout to ensue quickly. Not going often enough can lead to missing scheduled days and the goal of making it a part of a routine is gone. Other simple ways to help work towards a better lifestyle is to slowly incorporate healthy options into our diet, without trying a complete overhaul. If sugared soft drinks are part of your daily intake, try switching to a diet cola and limiting them to two a day. For those who can’t make the change, still set a daily limit of two and drink more not-from-concentrate juices and water. (Eight to 10 glasses of water a day is essential for those wanting to lose of maintain weight.) Also, try and add more fruits and vegetables into meals, and limit fried and high in fat or sodium meats and other foods, as well as sweets. Attempting a complete overhaul of your diet is a sure-fire path to failure, but gradually replacing bad eating habits for good ones will offer a better chance of success. All in all, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day and losing weight is about a lifestyle change, not just a short-term goal reached when the desired amount of weight is lost. Making changes for life requires commitment, but with patience and some will power, you’ll be sure to start liking the change you see in the mirror.

Resolutions and wishes for 2010 THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guest Columnist First, lets get something serious out of the way. I was down on Randolph Street one morning this past week when I saw a dead animal carcass lying in the roadway near Burger King. I noticed a driver traveling north on Randolph Street pull out into the other travel lane to avoid hitting the dead animal and almost sideswiping another car. Luckily, the vehicles didn’t collide. The message here is to avoid swerving to miss an already dead animal. The key is to get the animal carcass out of the roadway. Most drivers have a cell phone, so if you are in the City Limits, dial the Sanitation Department, 475-4239 (program this number in your cell phone for future reference). If the Sanitation Department is closed or you get no answer, then dial 911 and the “911” communications staff will notify whoever (in city government) is on call for that purpose. If you are on the Interstate or out in the county, dial 911 and tell the dispatcher the location of the carcass and they will notify the North Carolina DOT to have the carcass removed from the roadway. Under no circumstances do you attempt to remove an injured animal from the roadway. No. 1 the animal may bite or claw you,

No. 2 you may get hit by a car. ••• If you recall, in the last column we again talked about the mystery “Drive-In” movie located somewhere on National Highway and we went on to tell about a man who paid for two people at the ticket office. He later went to the concession stand and purchased six hot-dogs and six soft drinks. Four people had hidden in the trunk and didn’t pay to get into the movie. Well, after that column appeared in the Dec. 19 Times, I felt like a “Man of the Cloth” when several folks, men and women, came to me and confessed that when they were teenagers they had pulled the same stunt. Remember the old saying, “Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.” For those of you who came to “confession,” I kept my promise by not disclosing your identity. ••• The tradition of the New Year’s Resolutions goes all the way back to 153 B.C. in Rome. The song, “Auld Lang Syne,” is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English- speaking country in the world, to bring in the New Year. In spite of the popularity of “Auld Lang Syne,” it has aptly been described as the song that nobody knows. Even in Scotland, hardly a gathering sings it correctly, without some members of the party butchering the words. Written by Robert Burns in 1741, it was first published in 1796 after Burns’ death. “Auld Lang Syne” literally means “old long ago,” or simply, “the good old days.” “Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my

dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet for auld lang syne.” Nationally, the “Top Ten New Years Resolutions” are to: • Lose Weight and Get in Better Physical Shape, • Stick to a Budget • Get out of Debt • Enjoy more time with friends and family • Quit Smoking • Find a Job • Learn Something New • Volunteer and Help Others • Get Organized • Take a Trip •••

My Wish for You in 2010

May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy! May the problems you had, forget your home address! In simple words ... May 2010 be the best year of your life! ••• Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream and Discover. — Mark Twain ••• Starting today, smoking in restaurants is unlawful. Now we can all eat in a smoke free environment! But, I wonder if use of tobacco products in restaurants includes dipping snuff or chewing tobacco, not that I use either, just curious!

FROM PAGE 1 HELP From page 1 off non-perishable items at the Thomasville Parks & Recreation Administration office at 1 E. Main St. from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Terri Nelson, executive director of the resource center, said that the Community Food Challenge enables her organization to help thousands of families that otherwise would not have food to eat. “It’s always important for families to remember that lot of those living in Thomasville are still having to choose between paying their rent, buying their medicine or eating,” Nelson said. “The community always has come together in the past, and I’m sure they will continue to do so to help those help folks that really need it.” Nelson said that donations are down, but the need is great. When the resource center closed in December, its freezers were almost bare. “People think about it during the holidays, but once the holidays are over, they tend to go back to their normal mode,” Nelson said. “They forget that the people that they were helping at Christmas are still hungry the other 11 months of the year.” Cherry Baxter, 26, of Thomasville, said that the resource center helps her family with food and sometimes with bills. She and her husband also have taken the parenting classes offered there. The couple’s four children, ranging in age from 3 to 9 years old, have benefitted from the resource center’s Christmas programs. Their son also is in its backpack program, which sends him home each weekend with a backpack full of food and household items. Though the Baxters sometimes don’t have much, they still try to give aid to those in need by at least pointing them toward organizations that can help them.

COLD From page 1 we can.” Turner said The Shepherd’s Inn, a local homeless shelter and outreach ministry, is at capacity right now, but that’s not stopping him for helping those who can’t get in. Turner and the Rev. Billy Parham have been taking blankets and other necessities to homeless people in both Thomasville and Lexington. “If you can’t get in, we’ll resource out blankets, food or whatever needs to be,” said Turner. “If they call, we’ll do what we can. We have a constant supply of blankets on hand, and if we don’t have it, I’ll make a call and we’ll

OBITUARIES

“Usually, whenever we’re in need of something, we really try to wait it out to see what we can do before we go to them and ask for help,” Baxter said, “because that’s help that somebody else can be using.” She said that it’s not hard for her to ask for help, though she understands why it might be for others. “You might not want to ask for things, but sometimes you have to,” Baxter said. “Keep your head up if you like, but don’t be ashamed to do these things for your family, because if you don’t, who will? I have learned to be proud and still be able to accept things from people. I look at it as a blessing from the Lord.” Baxter currently is going to school to get her GED, and plans to go to college and study medical laboratory technology. Her husband works two jobs at Britthaven of Davidson and Westchester Manor, and once she is done with her education, he plans to go to school as well. Baxter said she is hopeful about their future. “You can’t look at things negative, because it will influence your thinking completely,” she said. “You got to stay positive.” Other recipients of this year’s food drive include His Laboring Few Ministries, Cooperative Community Ministry and Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship. Food drive participants this year include Thomasville/Archdale-Trinity Pediatrics, Thomasville Retired School Personnel, Central Wesleyan Church, City of Thomasville, Park Place Baptist Church (Friendship Class), Britthaven of Davidson, Rex Oil Company, LowSodium Connections, Thomasville City Schools staff and students, The High Point Enterprise, Theta Eta Zeta of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Vogue Beauty Salon, Knights of Columbus, City Beautification, Becky Hurley, Milton and Teresa Humphries, Fair Grove United Methodist Church, Fannie Davis, Bob and Ann Batton, Retired Postal Workers and Unilin Flooring.

make it happen. People don’t need to be out in freezing temperatures like this. People don’t realize that a lot of time kids are involved.” With the help of local donations, Turner said The Shepherd’s Inn stays fairly warm. A year ago, residents at the shelter did a lot of work to the building, improving insulation to make it more energy efficient. “It’s basically like a new house,” Turner said. Family Crisis Center in Lexington is equipped to house around 55 residents at a time, including families. Debbie Moody, weekend shelter coordinator at Family Crisis, said there are currently 23 residents on the family side of shelter. So far,

Moody said there hasn’t been that much of an increase in people coming in to escape the cold. “For some reason, they still prefer not to come in,” Moody said. “Last week when it got real cold we had maybe five or six more people show up.” Moody said anyone is welcome at Family Crisis as long as they don’t present a problem. Some have come after drinking and were removed by police after causing a disruption, but those instances are not common. For more information, call Turner at 240-4006 or Family Crisis Services at 248-5930. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.

Sports Editor WALLBURG — Ledford waited 31 minutes and 53 seconds to take a lead in the finals of the NewBridge Bank Christmas Classic Thursday. It was well worth the wait. Tournament MVP Daniel Lawson drilled two free throws with 6.8 seconds left, catapulting the Panthers to a thrilling 4746 victory over Southeast Guilford. It was the first championship for Ledford since the 1991 season, a team that featured current local coaches Brian Hege (Central Davidson), Matt Ridge (DCCC) and Matt Jacobs (East Davidson). “Daniel’s a great shooter,” said LHS coach Scott Dalton. “He’s been hit and miss all year from the free throw line. He missed quite a few tonight, but when they counted, he stepped up and knocked them down.” Lawson did it all in the last 1:18. His two free throws made it a two-point game, then he stole the ball away to eliminate a trip for the Falcons. With 41 seconds to go, he went

WALLBURG — So far this season, only one team has been able to defeat the East Davidson Lady Golden Eagles. After Thursday’s NewBridge Bank Christmas Classic final, that team can proudly proclaim they have beaten them twice. Winning its first tournament title under head coach Kim Payne, North Davidson avoided a monstrous mistake in the final seconds, securing a 60-59 win over the Golden Eagles. With 6.5 seconds remaining, North’s Maudie Amos knocked down a pair at the charity stripe that put North up 60-57. Instead of opting for a 3, East (10-2) raced up the floor and went for a quick two, and they almost got more than they bargained for. Chelsea Turner took the feed from Taylor Hallman and went up for the layup. For whatever reason, North’s Chaunelle Yokely reached in to foul her. The shot was good,

While I don’t have as many shoes as Imelda Marcos, I admit I have a lot of footwear. The number of pairs of shoes an outdoor guy needs varies with the number of things he does, but I’m ashamed to admit I have about 25 pairs of shoes/boots and seven pairs of waders. Of those, at least half haven’t been worn in the last five years and should be taken to the Salvation Army. The rest, I actually use on a regular basis. While my inventory indicates I’m well fixed, if you’re short on shoes, now is a great time to get squared away. Everything is on sale now with sales flyers coming from everyone like Bass Pro and Cabelas to Filsons and Orvis. I bought a $300 set of Hodgeman heavy armored zipper front waders for my daughter last week for $104. (If your daughter asks you for waders, you may be a redneck.) In the wader department, every fisherman or duck hunter needs three pair. One heavy insulated set for duck hunting and winter surf fishing, one lightweight breathable set for fall and spring fishing, and a set of hip boots for times you don’t need chest waders. If you fish for trout in the mountains, you need at least one more set, breathable with a stocking foot and wading shoes with a felt sole. If you trout fish in winter you need a neoprene pair. Fact is, you really do need a lot of different kinds of boots if you lead an active outdoor life. Besides waders for fishing you need boat shoes. My favorite boat shoes now are Crocks. They’re lightweight, cool, cheap, and they come in colors that won’t mar a boat’s deck. They now have models for spring, fall and even winter. The traditional boat shoes work well and certainly look better, but for comfort, it’s hard to beat Crocks. When you spend a long day on a boat, style doesn’t mean much. Flats boots are lightweight boots, normally with a zipper closure,

SHORT From page 7 and Turner went to the line with the opportunity of sending the game to overtime in her hands with 1.2 seconds left. With the Black Knight faithful making noise any way they possibly could, Turner sent up the free throw which clanked off the iron, and East could not get another shot off in a scrum under the basket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is tough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, if Chelsea hits the free throw ...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but really we should not have been in that position,â&#x20AC;? said East coach Brian Eddinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We missed a lot of layups early on and a lot of our free throws. We put ourselves in that position and tonight we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite find a way to pull it out.â&#x20AC;? To start the game, East built a 13-7 advantage in the first quarter and continued to lead by six midway through the second. North struggled to make shots and had to deal with foul trouble with Amos and Alex Payne going to the bench with two each. Sensing the game was starting to slip away a bit, both were inserted back in the lineup and North mounted a charge. Katie Allen went coast to coast for a layup and Yokely hit two shots in the lane to tie the score at 19 apiece. A 3-pointer by Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haley Grimsley broke the tie, but Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-0 run to the half put them up 26-22. North played better defense during the stretch,

bothering many of the Golden Eagle shots. Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot selection fell off as a result, as they forced the ball up and were out of sync. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think because things have been going so well for us we thought we could hit them,â&#x20AC;? said Eddinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is good that we have found some confidence, but when it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall we got away from our game a little bit and forced a few shots.â&#x20AC;? North (9-3) scored the first two points of the second half, but the resilient Eagles never gave up. A Stacy Hicks free throw eventually tied the game, as the lead went back and forth into the early stages of the fourth quarter. The Black Knights hit the Golden Eagles with a 9-0 spurt in the final period, seemingly wrapping up the title with East beginning to show signs of frustration. Eddinger called a timeout to calm the nerves, and it was obvious in the huddle that the players knew this one was well within reach with five minutes to go. East tip-toed back in it cutting the deficit to three with Grimsleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup off the inbounds pass. Neither team scored for nearly two minutes after that, until Samantha Honeycutt hit perhaps the biggest shot of the game. Her 3-pointer from the top put North up by six and had them in good position. A quick five points by Hallman whittled the lead down to one, but again, North found some points. Hallman set up the last sequence with a take to the basket with

Williams remains unhappy despite easy UNC win Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Roy Williams allowed himself to joke a little when he addressed the media following Wednesday night’s 87-70 victory over Albany, but clearly he still doesn’t think his team’s level of play is a laughing matter. Williams’ message may have been packaged differently than the angry version that followed Monday’s victory over Rutgers, but the message was the same. “We’ve got to get better,” he said. “There was some movie called ‘Ghost’ where everybody kept saying, ‘Ditto.’ Did you guys see that movie? Patrick Swayze was afraid to say, ‘I love you’ or something so he just said, ‘Ditto.’ “I started to say, ‘My

PORCH From page 7 that protect your feet from shells and other detritus when wading in salt water. Surf socks are slipper like lightweight shoes Wading North Carolina’s sounds barefoot is an invitation for injury since many of the things that occur naturally on the bottom will cut you to the bone. They’re a better choice than surf socks, which are low cut shoes that allow water to flow through but protect the soles of your feet from abrasion. Surf socks work well on a relatively clean bottom but will pick up little bits or sand and rock if there’s much current. They are great for kayaking where there are lots of rocks on the bottom. Flats boots are much more effective than surf socks and work really well in the sound where there’s no current. In the surf, they pick up some sand and can be less comfortable than bare feet. For hunting, there are still more applications that require different shoes. Boots that work well for hunting high and dry upland locations don’t work well slogging around in the woodcock and snipe bogs, (yes, snipe are real birds, look it up). For slopping around in the swamps, high top rubber boots are hard to beat, with the bottom end of the rubber boot market being Lacross Grange boots, at about $50, and the top of the line being Le Chameau leather lined waterproof zipper boots, coming in at about $450. Rubber boots have improved drastically in the last few years with the use of neoprene and other materials as the upper material. Some, like Lacross Alpha, Boggs, and Muck Boots, are so pliable that some versions can be rolled down to make them cooler in warm weather. Many have space age linings to wick moisture, the enemy of rubber boots, away from the foot. When selecting boots that will encounter mud, consider the amount of mud you’ll carry back with you. Heavy cleated soles work well in leafy woodland environments but will make you gain about two inches in height and 20 pounds in Davidson County red clay. For clay, a

press conference Monday night? Ditto,’ and walk my butt back out of here.” Williams praised his team’s performance over the first 12 minutes of the second half, when the ninth-ranked Tar Heels (11-3) hit 17 of 21 shots to build their 46-29 halftime lead to 85-47, but even those encouraging words were mixed with discouraged ones. “The first possession of the second half, we called a defense and didn’t run it — the very first play. That really shows that my talks in the huddle really do a lot of good,” he said. “I’m tired of saying, ‘Point guards, get back in defensive balance.’ We gave up four layups tonight. “I’m tired of saying, ‘It’s not OK just to get a shot up.’ We had three tips at it, and then it bounces to

one of our players and he shoots it over 17 guys.” And even the most optimistic of coaches couldn’t feel good about how the Tar Heels closed the game, allowing Albany (4-10) to score 23 of the final 25 points. “We scored two points the last seven-and-ahalf minutes or so, and that wasn’t just those last guys in there, either,” said Williams, who cleared his bench for the final two minutes. “That was Deon [Thompson] and Larry [Drew] and Ed [Davis] and all those guys.” Davis scored 18 points and Thompson added 15 to pace the Tar Heels. Will Harris, a Virginia transfer, scored 19 of his game-high 22 points in the second half for Albany. Drew, Will Graves and freshman Leslie

McDonald contributed nine points a piece, a career high for McDonald. Freshman John Henson (eight points) did some good things as well, twice coming up with steals and slams and getting the often-bored Smith Center crowd excited when he batted back-to-back inbounds passes, nearly saving the second one inbounds (the only louder cheer came when Tyler Hansbrough appeared on the video screen during a taped promo). The crowd might not be the only group that’s a bit bored. The Tar Heels next play Monday at College of Charleston, but Thompson referenced UNC’s first ACC opponent — Virginia Tech on Jan. 10 — when saying that the way UNC closed out Wednesday’s game would lead to losses once the schedule strength-

ens. “I think with the ACC coming up, we’re definitely going to play better, play more to our potential than we have been,” Drew said. “But I can’t make any promises — I hope we do.” Williams certainly hopes so. He admitted that injuries aren’t helping: Marcus Ginyard and Justin Watts missed the game, and Graves and Thompson were hobbled during the game — all with right ankle injuries. The latter three are likely to play Monday, but Williams said Ginyard is unlikely to play. Williams, however, isn’t in the mood for making excuses. “It is frustrating right now,” he said. “The kids are frustrated. I told them that this is probably the most negative I’ve been with any team.

“But they’re great kids, and we’re going to be all right. We’ve just got to do a better job.” Williams said the team would have a no-holdsbarred meeting this afternoon, joking that, “we’re going to meet from two to midnight and then sing ‘Kumbaya.’ “ While Williams was willing to make light of some of his frustrations Wednesday, there likely won’t be much laughter in today’s meeting. “The way we played in the first 10 or 12 minutes of the second half, we need to try to create that all the time,” Williams said. “We’ve got to figure out a way to be more consistent because we have some good stretches. “We’ve got to build on those things that we’re doing well and take on some accountability.”

smoother sole picks up less and sheds it easier. A recent development in rubber boots are the short rubber boots that are so handy for going out to get wood or walk the dog on sloppy days. Almost all the rubber boot companies make these. When you try these on, consider the sock crawl factor and how easy they are to get off and on. This type of shoe works well to just slip on but, if they’re too loose, they’ll likely eat your socks. Speaking of socks, socks are more important with waterproof rubber boots than they are with boots that aren’t waterproof. Moisture from your skin causes the boots to become clammy. The linings in the new high tech boots help in this and proper socks carry this even further. Cotton socks are probably the worst at this and the best are merino wool. Deer hunters need boots that are comfortable to walk in but warm when sitting

still for long periods of time. If the walk is long and the boots are too warm, the hunter’s feet will sweat and the moisture will cause him to get cold feet sooner once he becomes inactive. A good answer for this is to use boot blankets. Boot blankets will allow you to wear lighter shoes to the stand and still have warm feet while you’re sitting so you can get double duty out of your bird hunting boots. A neat tip to prevent your feet from sweating is to spray your feet with antiperspirant before putting your socks on. Everyone should have two pairs of hiking boots. One pair should have a lot of padding and a Gore Tex lining to make them waterproof. They should be both warm and comfortable. The others should be lightweight and without any insulation for use in summer when the other boots would just be too hot. The light hikers can also double as Labor Day dove hunting boots.

OK, if my count’s right, that’s 15 pairs of boots/shoes/waders to cover basic outdoor needs. You’ve got it covered at a paltry 18 pairs once you add to that a pair of Merrills to wear to gun-shows and a pair of brown and black

wing tips for church. OK, so my fashion taste isn’t any better than Imelda Marcos, either.

RELIGION CHURCH NOTES

A vision of hope for 2010 Guest speaker

VIEWPOINT

DOUG CREAMER Guest Columnist

Ten years ago there was such a fear about the arrival of 2000. People thought that computer systems would fail and mass chaos would ensue. Many preachers at that time were encouraging their followers to purchase large quantities of food and to be prepared for anarchy. There was even some thought that Jesus would return. Thankfully, 2000 arrived with very little interruption but with plenty of excitement about a new era. It’s hard to believe that was 10 years ago. It seems like it was just last year. Time sure flies, which means we need to learn to enjoy each moment before it slips away. It is time to look not only to a new year, but to a new decade. What kinds of things lie ahead for us as we enter a new era? Before we look forward, sometimes it is good to look back on where we have come from to determine where we want to go. Reflecting back on our lives can be a good activity if we will focus on the good things. It’s also good to see where we have seen the hand of God active in our lives. We need to take note of what He has been doing, what He has been working on in our lives. This can give us a

basis from which to focus on where He may be leading us in the future. I will caution you as you reflect not to focus too much on your sin and failures. I will remind you that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s plans for our lives. We can’t allow our past sins and failures to keep us from what God has planned for our lives, because God already forgiven us. God sees within us great potential, the ability to accomplish great things for His kingdom. So as we seek His will, His vision for 2010, it will be focused on how He can transform us into the image of His Son. God wants us to grow from being His servants to being His friends. He wants more intimacy in our relationship. He wants us to learn more about Him through reading His word and to spend more time praying and listening for His voice. Then He wants us to partner with Him and reach out to people in our lives that need His love and forgiveness. So how do you get from something that broad down to a plan for the upcoming year? How do you develop a vision, God’s specific direction, for your life? Then how do you put those plans into motion? The place to always begin anything is in prayer. God desires to reveal to us His plan. The problem is usually on our end. Many people believe that God doesn’t talk with us today, and that is the first thing we need to change. God is intimately concerned about all the details of our lives. After we pray, God will reveal to us what He wants to do in and through us. The first

thing I recommend you do is to write it down. Reflect and think about what God has told you and make sure you have peace in your heart about the direction God is leading. Even if God is calling you to something difficult and challenging, He will give you a peace and an assurance about where He is taking you. The next thing I recommend you do is put the piece of paper that you wrote your vision on in a place where you will see it occasionally. It’s important to keep your plan in a place where you will be reminded what God has told you. When you come to crossroads you will know the path God is calling you to take. When things are difficult and you want to give up, it will help to restore your confidence. Share this with a friend who can prayerfully support and encourage you which will help you achieve success. I want to encourage you to consider where God is leading you this year. God is mysterious and His ways are often difficult to understand. Following God requires us to be stretched because He often calls us to walk along the narrow path instead of the easy highway. But with prayer and the support of friends, I believe your adventure with God will be filled with hope, joy, and a revelation of the depth of your faith in a loving God. God has a vision for each of us for 2010, let’s take His hand and discover where it will lead us.

Please forgive me BY JOE AND MISTI COYNE Guest Columnists

Have you ever said, “Please forgive me.” Even when you were not at fault? Pursuing peace and restoring relationships are sure signs of growing up spiritually. In fact, nearly everyone at some point in life has been hurt by the actions or words of another. Growing up means no more excuses or holding on to unresolved offenses. Unforgiven hurt and broken fellowship is like buried toxic waste waiting to resurface. Pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t stop it’s harmful effects, over time it will seep up and create a mess. This repressed toxin can manifest itself into depression and anxiety; causing bitterness and stealing our joy, peace and victory. Researchers have recently become interested in studying the effects of being unforgiving vs. being forgiving. Evidence is mounting that holding grudges and bitterness results in long-term health problems. Forgiveness, on the other hand, offers numerous benefits, including: lower blood pressure, reduction in chronic pain and less stress. When you don’t practice forgive-

ness, you may be the one who pays the most. When you choose to forgive or ask to be forgiven, you are not agreeing with the wrong done but more so forgiveness is the act of untying yourself from thoughts and feelings that bind you and delay your victory. Jesus teaches us the law of faith in Mark 11:20-25. Jesus said, “Have faith in God, I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Many of us have prayed a prayer in faith but there is more, in verse 25, Jesus instructed, “And as you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Forgiveness is a factor in receiving God’s very best. You can’t hold a grudge and expect to get what you asked for in prayer. There have been times when we have not deserved God’s mercy and forgiveness. We were guilty and deserved

judgment. But He loved us so much that He was willing and faithful to forgive us. God is expecting the same from you. He is expecting you to forgive others even if we don’t think they deserve forgiveness. It is time to let go and let God heal the hurt. Be encouraged today, our God is compassionate, loving and forgiving. Don’t be left out of God’s best for you because of unforgiveness and bitterness toward other people. Forgive them, release that person to God and ask Him to help you practice love and mercy. If you are holding on to all that God has for you like blessings, miracles, healing, increase, joy, love, peace, prosperity, freedom and victory; you have your hands full and it is impossible to hold a grudge. A Prayer for Today Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness that was freely given to me. God, I thank You for filling me with Your goodness and helping me to forgive others. You said in Your Word that if I forgave others that You would forgive me. I purpose to walk in love and receive everything You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Blue Devils ring in New Year with win over Penn BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Barring the upset of the century, Duke seemed certain to close out the decade Thursday evening with a victory. Still, the No. 7 Blue Devils treated their matchup with winless Penn just like any other game on the calendar and rolled to a 114-55 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium in their final tuneup before ACC play tips off. Duke (11-1) topped the school-record 113 points that Penn (0-9) yielded to North Carolina in the first round of the 1987 NCAA Tournament, and Duke’s 59-point margin was the most lopsided in Penn history by 10 points. “I think it’s good that when we’re supposed to win, we do. We handle business,” Duke freshman Mason Plumlee said. “It’s easy to not take these games as serious, but the fact that we’re ready to play and we’re concentrating on the game at hand, that says a lot.” Plumlee certainly came to play. He had totaled 14 points and 10 rebounds in five games since missing Duke’s first six with a broken bone in his left wrist, but he poured in 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds Thursday. Plumlee played without any sort of wrap on his wrist for the first time, and the shackles seemed to come off his game. “That’s the best thing for me tonight — seeing Mason play well,” Duke senior Jon Scheyer said. “He hasn’t been himself coming back from the injury, but today he was himself. “I think this was just indicative of how he’s been practicing. If he continues to do that, he’ll continue to play great in games.” Plumlee and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski both referenced Wednesday’s practice, when the coaching staff gave team leaders Scheyer, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler a breather and turned up the heat on the younger players. “We had really about an hour of really intense work, and I think going through that gave him more confidence in his wrist because it was a physical practice,” Krzyzewski said. “There’s just a confidence level that you have to get when you’re coming back from an injury. I think that helped.” The break from practice certainly didn’t hurt the veterans. Smith led the way with 23 points, Singler scored 20 and Scheyer added 19, the trio combining to hit 21 of 31 shots from the floor

and 17 of 18 from the freethrow line. Plumlee’s older brother, Miles, scored nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Brian Zoubek had eight points and six rebounds as the Blue Devils outrebounded the Quakers 43-25. It won’t be nearly as easy when Duke opens the new decade against No. 21 Clemson on Sunday (7:45 p.m., Fox Sports), but Krzyzewski was pleased to see his team close out 2009 by playing so hard. Duke went 294-59 from Jan. 1, 2000 through Dec. 31, 2009, the victory total representing the most for any program in any decade in college basketball history. “We wanted to close out playing as hard as all these kids have played the last 10 years for us, and I thought we did,” Krzyzewski said. “Our talent level is obviously greater than theirs, so if we’re playing hard and they’re playing hard, we should win by a significant margin. “I was happy with the way our kids approached everything.”

From page 7 baseline for a tough layup, tying the game at 45-all. Artez McRae made one-of-two free throws to push Southeast back out in front, and LHS called a timeout to set up a play with 16 seconds to go. The play was a familiar one with Lawson going baseline to draw the foul. His two pitches at the line gave Ledford (9-3) its first lead, but there was still time for the Falcons to win it. Tevin Johnson sprinted down the floor and sent up a runner that hit the front of the rim with one second left, that fell off to the side, ending the game. It was the perfect way to complete another furious rally by the Panthers, who were not at their best for a second straight game. “We got big stops when we needed to and made just enough plays to overcome our ineptness around the basket tonight,” Dalton said. “My guys right now just believe they are going to win and they found a way.” Southeast was poised to make the finals a sleeper early on, scoring however they wanted in posting a 20-7 lead at the end of

Daniel Lawson scoops the ball up past Southeast’s Artez McRae in the tourney finals on Thursday. the first quarter. Ledford came out in a zone defense — a plan Dalton devised after watching the Falcons struggle with it the night before against Central Davidson. Southeast was better prepared this time, and Dalton began to question whether or not he may have overcoached. “I did my team a disservice,” said Dalton. “I think letting my guys sit back in that zone sent a message that we were going to come out passive. We’re a better man team.

I think they scored maybe 15 points against our zone, but as soon as we came out in the man, we shut them down. Malik Wright pushed the lead to 15 in the second quarter, but things did start looking brighter for the Panthers on defense. The Falcons were held to just four more points until halftime, and the Panthers clawed their way back. Steven Fuquay dropped in two 3-pointers to lead a 13-4 run for a 26-20 halftime score.

As good and important as Lawson was, he missed some key layups in the third that irritated Dalton. Free throws were a challenge for the Panthers as well, as the mistakes allowed Southeast to not only maintain its lead, but extend it to eight at the end of three quarters. “Layups and free throws and that is not even a ballgame in the fourth quarter,” said Dalton. “A lot of times when you miss so many easy ones that basket gets smaller and smaller.” Ledford still found itself in jeopardy trailing 44-36 at the 4:14 mark, but the run to the finish would be a good one. Three free throws for the Panthers and a reverse layup by Jonathan Reid closed it down to 4441. McRae made his free throw for a 45-41 score, then Lawson made his coach the happiest man in town, tallying six of the game’s final seven points to pull it out for the Panthers. Lawson finished with a game-high 16 points. Notes: All-Tournament selections were Ledford’s Fuquay and Dylan Smith, along with Johnson and Bradley Savage for Southeast ... East Davidson’s Taylor Warren also made the team.

Notes: The Cameron crowd included Hollywood giant Denzel Washington, whose son, Malcolm, is a freshman guard for Penn. Washington did his best to get lost in the crowd but did offer a tip of his Penn cap when fans chanted his name. ... Duke freshman Todd Zafirovski was in uniform for the first time Thursday after spending all season on the bench in street clothes. Zafirovski, a 6-8 forward from Lake Forest, Ill., has been serving as a practice player. A - High Point/Archdale/Guilford Co. Ê - Sports D - Davidson Co. Ë - News/Talk

FROM PAGE 1 DECADE From page 1 John Kerry by a pretty wide margin. As it turned out, a 2004 speech from a little-known Illinois politician would change our country forever. That man was Barack Obama, who last year became the first African-American president of the United States. Perhaps no single event will define this decade more than Sept. 11, 2001. In a span of a few hours, everything we thought about the world changed. Nearly 3,000 people died in front of our very eyes as four planes crashed through the heart of America, leaving a shattered, distraught country violated and confused. Wars followed, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, resulting in thousands of young men and women sacrificing their lives to protect freedoms suddenly treasured by that fateful fall Tuesday. It was one of those days you remember where you were at when you saw the TV
