An area child rides her bike in the Mills Stone Manor subdivision last week. Neighbors in the area say the condemned structure in the background is affecting property values and endangering children.

Neglected property condemns neighbors BY LISA WALL Editor

Homeowners in one local subdivision are up in arms over a neighboring structure they say is not just lowering their property value, but is also a danger to area children. A short drive into Mill Stone Manor off of Lexington Avenue and the impact of the abandoned property can be seen. A slab and three basement walls are all that stand, with piles of trash, building materials and graded dirt surrounding the incomplete structure. Now overgrown due to neglect, there is little doubt that the building process was abandoned long ago. Real estate developer and

builder Randy Summit, who sold the property to Scott Prince of Prince Builders, LLC in 2005, said the property now is affecting the value and selling price of other homes in the neighborhood. “Everyone my real estate agent shows the house to, that’s the first question out of their mouth. ‘When is something going to been done about that property?’” Summit said. Summit’s agent, Donna Lambeth of Ed Price & Associates in High Point, estimated that Summit suffered a 15 to 20 percent loss on the last two properties he sold in Mill Stone, and that the abandoned structure contributed. “Needless to say, the last house we sold was way below what Randy sold his other houses for,

because of that [property],” Lambeth said. While both Lambeth and Summit acknowledge the economy and real estate industry is an issue in home sales, they say the property just adds to the problem. “We don’t need any more of a deterrent of being able to sell a home and there‘s a structure like that sitting in the middle of such a nice subdivision,” Lambeth said. “We just don’t need anymore obstacles.” Ken Hepler, planning and zoning administrator for the City of Thomasville, said that the initial building permit for the structure at 220 Santa Fe Circle was issued to Prince in November of 2005.

Kate Thornton was still in the midst of treatment when doctors told her this week that she had relapsed with leukemia. But the five-year-old from Thomasville didn’t her lose spirit, and neither did her family. Sitting nose to nose with her daughter, Susan Thornton talked the girl through how taking the good guys — her term for pills — would help beat bad cancer. “I told her, ‘When you can’t be strong, I’ll be right there beside you. When you’re not strong enough, I’ll be right here holding your hand,’” Susan said. To fight the relapsed disease, doctors will check to see if Kate’s sister is a match for a stem cell transplant. But if not, the girl

really going to happen and how bad it really is,” Susan said. “Because she’s going to be really, really sick. I just want my daughter to be better.” Part of that financial burden will be lifted through the efforts of the Creasey family’s open house on Feb. 20 and 21, which, aside from benefiting Davidson County Cancer Services and Relay For Life, will also help raise money for Kate’s procedure. Friends of the family will stand by a bucket with Kate’s name to promote her cause. “We’re going to hold a benefit within a benefit,” said Caron Myers, executive director of Davidson County Cancer Services. The Creasey open house will celebrate their involvement on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Prince had the land cleared and the existing structure erected, but construction ceased on July 10, 2006. Residents of Millstone Manor submitted a petition to the city on April, 8, 2009, asking for the property to be condemned. However, the city issued another building permit to Prince on July 23, 2009. Hepler, along with neighboring residents, says that other than coming to clear the overgrowth and remove some trash, no construction was performed on the house during the six months the building permit was active. “On July 23, 2009, we gave him a new building permit, basically because he said to us, ‘Give me one more chance,’� Hepler said. “As you can see, nothing happened. He didn’t do anything to the structure.� Hepler said according to state law, if no work has been done on a home within six months, the city can void the permit. A notice of condemnation on the property was issued by the city building inspector Michael Cranford on Jan. 14, 2010. During a called hearing on Jan. 25, 2010, the city ordered the structure demolished by Prince, deeming it “especially dangerous to life, health and other property because of its walls, broken windows, and incomplete construction.� According to Hepler, Prince again asked for a building permit — a request that was denied by the city.

“In video war games, when you get hit, the game gets foggy a little bit and moves in slow motion,� said Walton. “That’s what it was like. I was kind of dazed and then I started feeling that burning sensation in my arm. The IED basically blew our Humvee apart and the engine was still burning. The armor helped out a lot. I’m 6’6� and got hit with all the little pieces. “They couldn’t stop the bleeding. In the movies, guys take it like a man. I didn’t. I’m whining and screaming, but the other guys were calm.� Walton’s tricep tendon was destroyed and his radial nerve hung by a thread as doctors worked to save his arm. After months of therapy, movement slowly returned to the now Purple Heart recipient. “I have about 90 percent usage of my arm,� said Walton. “It took about two years of therapy but I can snap my fingers and hitchhike. I had no idea had bad it was.� With his military service behind him, Walton, a Waynesfield, Ohio native and former collegiate basketball player, came home to Mocksville and resumed his coaching career at Davie County High School. But something inside him wanted more, so he decided to give DCCC coach Matt Ridge a call about possibly joining the Storm’s staff. “Experiencing something like that changes the way you look at life,� Walton said. “Life is too short. Whatever you want to do you better do it now.

Incidentally, the Thorntons were one of the five families in the running to be put on the show. “So here it is, an event that they did not win, but at the same time it will help to benefit this little girl,� Myers said. Kate was first diagnosed on Aug. 29, 2008, at age 3. The journey through hospitals, chemotherapy and more hospitals has been hard on the family, Susan said. She and her husband Joe have four other children besides Kate. While too young to understand the full gravity of their sister’s condition, the other kids still know something is wrong. “I miss my children,�

A notice of condemnation is pasted on a window of the neglected structure at 220 Santa Fe Court. However, Helpler said Thursday, that if Prince can prove “that sufficient funds to complete this project will be allocated,� the City would issue another building permit to complete the home. “In good conscience I couldn’t deny him if he did that,� Hepler said. “That would tell me he’s used due diligence to seek funding and that he’s going to finish the house. We try to let the very last resource be demolishing a structure. “If it becomes a neighbor issue, we’ll invite them to the city council meeting and let them discuss their displeasure.� If after the 60 days, the structure hasn’t been demolished it will be sent to council to determine if the city will proceed with demolition. If approved, Prince will have another 30 days to remove the structure on his own. If that doesn’t happen, the city will accept the lowest bid for demolition and a lien will be placed on the home in order for the city to recoup the costs. “I feel a lot of people in this neighborhood would come to the meeting and say that this is devaluing our property and that it’s an eyesore,� Hepler said.

Thomas Bragg, whose property is next door to the condemned structure, also is feeling the full impact of having such a property as a neighbor. Bragg has had his home on the market since October without a single showing. He has since reduced his asking price from $177,000 — the home’s appraised value — to $140,000. Although Bragg is upset by the loss he will have to take on his home, safety of the children in the area is his main concern. “It’s a hazard to children here,� Bragg said. “It definitely affects property value, but it’s really more about safety for children in the area.� That leaves Summit and other neighbors to question how long they’ll have to endure the fallout from Prince’s neglect. “My opinion is if this was beside the city attorney or mayor’s house, it’d already be gone,� Bragg said. “Someone can’t leave an abandoned car at an apartment, or Walmart, or City Hall, so why this house?� Prince declined comment when reached by phone Thursday.

Susan said. “And they miss mom.� Kate herself has managed to maintain an upbeat attitude throughout her year and a half struggle. Despite her youth, the girl has tried hard to stick with her medication and therapy, Susan said. “My daughter is the toughest little cookie you will ever meet,� Susan said. “God has given her such grace — it’s supernatural. She just does it.� But even with the family’s strength, Susan said they could not have gone on without the support of the community, both financially, like the Creasey open house, and emotionally. “Perfect strangers, they rally around us. They pray for us,� Susan said. “The times that Kate is

sweating because what she’s doing hurts so stinking bad, you can see the grace poured out of her. And that’s nothing but prayer.� Davidson County Cancer Services also has arranged an event, Spin for Life, to be held Feb. 20 and 21 at the Forum in Lexington, to raise even more money for Kate’s procedure. Throughout Kate’s ordeal, the Thorntons’ family and friends have helped out by bringing over food and looking after the other children. “I love my friends, and I love my family, and I love these perfect strangers that love us,� Susan said. “I don’t want to live anywhere else. I’m proud to be a part of a community that’s so loving and supportive.�

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.� As it turned out, Ridge had an opening and was more than willing to welcome Walton to his staff, feeling he is a great example for his young players who are on the verge of manhood. “Jeff is a true American hero,� said Ridge. “What he did for our country is amazing. He’s a perfect example of someone who is incredibly unselfish and willing to sacrifice anything for the good of the team, whether it be this country or Davidson County basketball. He’s one of the main reasons why we have been successful. “He brings energy and enthusiasm to our practices and the games. He does a great job of

emphasizing rebounding and blocking out so it becomes routine. We are very blessed to have him.� While his days of war may be behind him, Walton’s career as a coach is far from over. He may still spend 16 hours a day pursuing his passion, but Walton comes home to wife Beverly and their four children every night. He jokes with players about sore ankles and stiff backs when practice seems too tough. One underlying message to Walton’s story is that victory can always come from defeat. Even when it doesn’t appear that way at the time.

Area dentists perform free dental services for low-income residents BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

When local dentists Tom Smith and Diane Bundy helped out with an area church last summer offering free dental services, they came away wanting to do more. It didn’t take long for the two to come up with the idea of offering a similar service at their own office at 210 Arthur Drive. With the help of other local dentists, Smith and Bundy teamed up with Cooperative Community Ministries in an effort to provide basic dental services for those unable to do so themselves. “That particular day, the x-ray unit wasn’t working and we were in a small cramped area,” Smith said of last summer’s mission day with Carolina Memorial Baptist Church. “We were not familiar with all the equipment and instruments. While we were able to take care of some patients, we weren’t able to care for a lot of patients.” Last Saturday, Smith and Bundy, along with Dr. Michael Lanning and Dr. Gerald Fisher, welcomed more than a dozen people to their office, doing teeth cleanings and performing extractions and fillings free of charge. Despite six inches of snow on the ground, staff members and all four dentists from the office showed up, with some even going and picking people up who had signed up for the service and couldn’t get out because of the weather. “Some of them had never had their teeth cleaned before,” said Smith. “They were people who probably hadn’t been to the dentist in years.” Not only did people get

their teeth taken care of, staff members collected money and managed to send everyone who came in home with a bag full of groceries. Smith said his office went to CCM as a way to find those who would benefit from the service the most. The goal was to treat people with no insurance or no real means of paying for the treatments themselves. “We were determined and pleasantly surprised that most of the patients did come,” Bundy said of the weather. “That shows just how great their need was that they would come through six inches of snow and ice just to be seen. It was a good day.” Office administrator Suzy Mantel estimates her office donated close to $10,000 worth of dental services last Saturday. “If they couldn’t come, we went and got them,” said Mantel. “The staff totally devoted their time. They were great.”

Smith said he just felt it would be easier and more efficient to offer the service at the home office. With everything at the their disposal, the four dentists and the rest of the staff could treat more people effectively. “It really turned out well,” Smith said. “The people were so gracious and appreciative. It was one of those win-win deals. We gained so much from it.” One man that came in needed 10 teeth pulled out and was homeless living in his car, Smith said. Stories like that made the day worth while for a group of individuals who were willing to go the extra mile in order to help a community that needed someone to care. Other local dentists also participated in offering free dental services, including Dr. James McGhee, Dr. Nicholas Hurley and Dr. Christian Brandyberry.

Another undead conservative idea VIEWPOINT

MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist

Barack Obama assumed the presidency determined not just to promote certain policies but to tidy up our minds as well. Some things we’d been saving, like conservative ideas on national defense and such, would have to go. Those were “the failed policies of the past,” and he would not tolerate people clinging to them. Obama enthusiast and New York Times editor Sam Tanenhaus thought he was writing an epitaph when he published “The Death of Conservatism” six months ago. But we have not cooperated. More to the point, the facts have not cooperated. That $787 billion stimulus that was guaranteed to keep unemployment at 8 percent or less is now regarded by 75 percent of Americans as a corrupt flop. Seventy-one percent say underwear bomber Abdulmutallab should have been handed over to the military. And 58 percent say he should have been waterboarded. Now we learn, from a study in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine end ital that another prematurely buried conservative idea, abstinence education, works very well indeed. The Obama administration had disdained and defunded abstinence education in favor of “evidence-based” programs to prevent teen pregnancy. (Note the assumption that liberal ideas are founded on evidence whereas conservative ideas spring from prejudice, ignorance or downright orneriness.) No one study settles things, but this one, conducted by an AfricanAmerican professor from the University of Pennsylvania, will be hard to ignore. Between 2001 and 2004, John B. Jemmott III and his colleagues studied 662 African-American sixth- and seventh-graders (average age 12). The kids were randomly assigned to one of four programs. The first emphasized abstinence and included role-playing methods to avoid sex. The second combined an abstinence message with information about condoms. The third focused solely on condom use, and the fourth (the control group) was taught general health information. Over the course of the next two years, about half of the kids who received the condom instruction and half of the

control group were having sex. Forty-two percent of those who got the combination class were sexually active, but only 33 percent of the abstinence-only group were having sex. Additionally, and this confounds one of the myths of the condom pushers, the study found no difference in condom use among the four groups of students who did engage in sex. “I think we’ve written off abstinence-only education without looking closely at the nature of the evidence,” Jemmott told the Washington Post. “Our study shows this could be one approach that could be used.” Elayne Bennett, founder of the Best Friends program, is delighted that the Jemmott research reinforces her experience with mostly African-American adolescent girls. Offering a mixed program of mentoring, dance, music, and role-playing, Best Friends and its new spinoff, Best Men for boys, has had two decades of success in helping kids abstain from sex, drugs, and alcohol until they graduate from high school. She has found that the kids desperately want someone to tell them it’s OK to postpone sex. It’s a commentary on our times but there it is -- we need special programs to give kids permission to say no. “The opponents,” Bennett notes, “have popularized three words, ‘Abstinence doesn’t work.’” But her program and others like it have excellent track records. Every previous study showing the effectiveness of abstinence programs has been picked apart for one trivial flaw or another, but the new research seems airtight. People usually form their opinions first and look only for evidence that supports their prejudices. That’s another reason the Jemmott research deserves respect. He didn’t conduct his research to support abstinence education. He’s simply reporting on what works. It’s always been an open question whether supporters of so-called “comprehensive sex ed,” with its heavy emphasis on “safe sex” and condoms, actually believe in abstinence at all. They always argued that “no matter what we say, the kids are going to have sex anyway so they might as well be safe.” But they never adopted that logic with, say, cigarettes. They didn’t lobby for mandatory filters on the grounds that the kids were going to smoke willy-nilly. Well, this will be a test. The Obama administration has vowed to fund “evidence based” programs. Will they reverse their decision to completely defund abstinence ed?

The GOP’s dubious populism VIEWPOINT

JOE CONASON Syndicated Columnist The most revealing moments in President Obama’s State of the Union Address were not in his remarks, but the reaction to them by those listening on the Republican side of the aisle. When he proposed to recover a “financial responsibility fee” — in plainer English, a bank tax — from the largest and most heavily leveraged Wall Street firms, the Republicans sat on their hands and scowled, while Democrats cheered and whistled. And when he warned that the Supreme Court’s latest decision would open the political process to mega-corporations and their foreign owners, the Republicans were so enraged that they have since accused him of lying. On both counts, the politics and policy are subject to reasonable disagreement — but the facts support the president. More importantly, however, is what both issues say about the continuing character of the Republican Party at a time when its leaders are counting on the “conservative populism” of the “tea party” movement to revive the party’s fortunes. Consider the possibility of unchecked foreign influence in American political campaigns, a change that would seem certain to irritate the self-styled superpatriots of the Republican right. Although Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito appeared to mutter that the president was “not right” during the speech — and was then echoed by every rightwing commentator, from The

Washington Times to The Wall Street Journal — nonpartisan observers believe that Obama is indeed correct. “With the corporate campaign expenditure ban now being declared unconstitutional, domestic corporations controlled by foreign governments or other foreign entities are free to spend money to elect or defeat federal candidates,” said J. Gerald Hebert, executive director and director of litigation at the Campaign Legal Center in Washington. Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21, a longtime reform advocate, explained why that is true, despite existing legal prohibitions against any contribution or expenditure by a “foreign national” to influence a federal, state or local election. The current statute defines a foreign corporation as any firm that is “organized under the laws of or having its principal place of business in a foreign nation.” So a company organized in Germany or headquartered in China would still be subject to the existing ban on donations. “But there are domestic corporations — those organized under state law in the United States — which are and can be controlled by foreign interests,” Wertheimer noted. Until the Supreme Court overturned the ban on corporate spending in the Citizens United decision, those foreign-controlled companies were subject to the same restrictions as American-owned firms. By striking down that prohibition, the court’s Republican majority freed any foreigncontrolled domestic company to spend its funds directly to influence our elections. At least some of the founders of the “tea party” movement found this development disturbing — and that may be why the Republicans reacted so angrily when the president mentioned it. The same may be said of the new tax on big banks, which Republicans have vowed to reject even though

it is designed to recoup the costs of the bailout that was so unpopular among their “populist” constituents. Again, the facts are simple enough. The legislation that established the Troubled Assets Relief Program — with many Republican votes — required the president to claw back the program’s hundreds of billions of dollars through a dedicated tax. As designed by the Obama economic team, that tax falls solely on the largest financial firms and penalizes them according to the degree of leveraged risk those firms have taken on. Its designation as a “responsibility fee” is not merely a way to avoid uttering the word “tax,” but recognizes that the economic and social costs of the recession must be charged to those companies and their irresponsible (and sometimes illegal) practices. Again, the Republican response is anything but populist, unless that term has lost all meaning. The Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele, and an array of the party’s elected officials marched to the microphones to parrot the same arguments articulated by the bankers: They’ve already paid back the money! They’re going to pass the tax on to their consumers! And a recession is no time to raise taxes anyway! The new GOP idols, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Marco Rubio of Florida, were the most eager critics of any attempt to tax the bankers. The more Republicans claim to change, the more they remain the same. The more they wrap themselves in dubious populism, the more they will defend the wealthy and powerful, without respect to national sovereignty and the national interest.

After nearly a week off from basketball, area teams finally got to take the floor for game action on Thursday. East Davidson’s girls were slow in getting back into game form allowing the Lexington Yellow Jackets to hang around for a half, but a smothering run to open the second half helped them cruise to a 75-51 win in Central Carolina Conference play. The Lady Golden Eagles maintained the second spot in the standings at 5-1, with an overall record of 16-3. Lexington dipped to 1-5 in the CCC, 4-14 on the year. “I think there was probably a little bit of rust,” said EDHS coach Brian Eddinger. “I was glad the girls got enough of it off by the second half.” East held an 8-4 lead with 3:14 left in the first quarter, but the shots they normally hit were not falling. This allowed the Yellow Jackets to work

There may not be a more entertaining game in the area this season, than the one witnessed by patrons that attended the Lexington-East Davidson throwdown Thursday evening. Apparently, the near week-long delay had no effect on the two schools in a game that featured a little bit of everything. From rim-rocking dunks to sketchy officiating, the Jacobs game had a championship atmosphere. Lexington led by 13 early in the fourth quarter, but a refuse to lose attitude by the Golden Eagles allowed for a comeback that sent the game to overtime. In the extra session, the Yellow Jackets regained their swagger to win a thrilling 88-83 Central Carolina contest on the road. “We played tonight like we believed we could win a conference championship,” said East coach Matt Jacobs. “There was no fear tonight, but we are not happy with a moral victory.” East had to work its tail off to even force an overtime, then had the game in hand and let it slip away. Not happy with the officiating and sensing his team needed a lift, Jacobs

Singler leads Duke by Tech BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun

FRIDAY BASKETBALL Thomasville @ Lexington 6 p.m. BASKETBALL Asheboro @ Ledford 6 p.m.

DURHAM — As Duke freshman Mason Plumlee took off toward the basket for a dunk late in the first half of Thursday night’s showdown against Georgia Tech, Duke junior Kyle Singler had to take himself out of the game. Away from the ball, Singler banged his already injured right wrist against an opposing player’s knee. “I just got it banged up a little bit,” Singler said. “It’s fine.” Clearly. Singler got the wrist checked out and got back into the game for the final pos-

session of the half, one that ended with him draining a 3-pointer from the right corner with three seconds left to open up a 12-point lead for Duke and open up the floodgates for Singler. Singler went on to score 20 of his career-high 30 points in the second half, the large majority coming from behind the 3-point line, to lead the 10th-ranked Blue Devils to an 86-67 victory over the 21st-ranked Yellow Jackets at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Singler hit 8 of 10 from 3-point range, matching the highest percentage in school history on 10 or more attempts

Durham Herald Sun BLACKSBURG, VA. — If the North Carolina Tar Heels had driven to Blacksburg, Va., to face Virginia Tech, they may have felt a little like they were in a friendly area when they saw the overpass marked Franklin Street. Cassell Coliseum was an entirely different story, as UNC made just two field goals in the final 7:37 of the Hokies’ 7470 win Thursday night to lose for the fifth time in the past six games. Malcolm Delaney led Virginia Tech (17-4, 4-3 ACC) with 21 points including a pair of 3-pointers midway through

the second half. “That was a heck of a basketball game, I thought, by two teams that played awfully hard,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “It’s not really a heck of a basketball game unless your team wins, and we didn’t win. “We competed harder than we’ve been doing. I’ve never had a team that I worried about how hard we were playing, ... but we played with much more intensity tonight.” Delaney scored 10 of the Hokies’ first 21 points in the second half as they built a 54-47 lead at the 12:18 mark. But

Two steps forward and one step back Whether you buy into the climate change rhetoric or not, it’s been really cold and messy lately. I’ve also been traveling a lot and I recently lost the transmitter to Larry’s field training collar. All this does not bode well for the behavior of my dog. The rewards of having a well behaved dog aren’t without costs and setbacks and it’s important to keep things in perspective. Of the last three weeks, I’ve been gone more than not. Larry and I haven’t been on the fields at Beaver Pond, they’ve been covered with ice and snow most of the time. Our training program has come to a virtual standstill. While all this is hardly the best set of circumstances, it’s only a temporary setback and some training can continue in limited ways within the confines of our house. Conditions like this are a great time to go back to fundamentals working on sit, stay, and other basic commands. We can also work on social skills when the weather’s bad. Social skills are tough for young dogs because of their high level of enthusiasm. Larry loves

From page B1 while falling just short of the school record of nine 3s shared by Shane Battier and J.J. Redick. Singler had totaled nine 3-pointers over his previous six games while missing 22 over that span — previously par for the course during a season in which Singler was hitting 33 percent from long range entering Thursday. “I think it’s the first game all year that I’ve shot the ball well from the floor,� Singler said. “I just got into a rhythm, and I took open shots.� Teammate Jon Scheyer, who added 21 points, set Singler up for the 3 to end the half with a baseline drive and delivery. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski credited more of a motion-offense approach with getting Singler more open on the whole, though Singler had missed plenty of open 3s before Thursday’s breakthrough. “I don’t think he lost confidence, or else he wouldn’t have come out and shot it that way,� Krzyzewwski said. “We’ve told him, ‘Whatever you’ve done, forget. It’s what you’re going to do.’ In baseball, if you had a really good hitter and he’s in a slump, you don’t tell him not to swing. “Getting eight 3s and 30 points in any game is big, but in this type of game it’s a spectacular shooting performance.� Thursday’s game was the type where it shouldn’t have been easy to find a rhythm, where three possessions without a whistle qualified as a breakthrough. Duke (18-4, 6-2 ACC) and Georgia Tech (16-6, 4-4) came hard after each other, piling up 54 free throw attempts off 52 fouls, including an intentional foul (Gani Lawal) and a technical foul (Glen Rice) charged to the Yellow Jackets down the stretch. “Georgia Tech comes into our games looking at us and trying to just attack us and push us around, thinking that we’re small and soft,� said Duke junior Nolan Smith, who added 14 points. “Every game they do that, so when we go out there, we’re like, ‘Fight them first.’ “Today both teams came out fighting, and the refs saw that pretty quick.� The foul totals were even but the impact was not, with Lawal — who scored 21 points in Georgia Tech’s victory over Duke a month ago — picking up his second foul after 33 seconds and fellow big man Derrick Favors picking up his third four less than seven minutes in. The foul trouble helped Duke grind out a 27-15 edge on the boards in the first half — including seven of Duke senior

Lance Thomas’ gamehigh 11 rebounds — and eventually hindered Georgia Tech’s ability to keep up on the offensive end. The Yellow Jackets hung around most of the half, but boosts from a couple of unexpected sources got Duke going. Guard Jordan Davidson saw some rare first-half playing time and responded with a crowdpleasing rebound among the trees, then freshman Ryan Kelly sank a 3, skied for a rebound and created a turnover to further fire up the Blue Devils. “Anything we can do to give our team a lift,� Davidson said. “You’ve

got guys out there playing almost 40 minutes a game, so anything we can go out there and do to give them energy is a positive for our team.� Still, Georgia Tech trailed just 30-27 heading to the final six minutes of the half. That’s when Brian Zoubek and Plumlee led Duke on a 15-6 run to close the half, scoring eight of their 10 points before Singler took over. “My teammates gave the ball in good positions, got me the ball in rhythm,� Singler said. “I was ready to shoot the ball because I knew if I shot it, it had a good chance of going in. That was my mentality.�

WOES From page B1 11 seconds later, Delaney picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench. He returned with 7:01 remaining after a media timeout. “Malcolm was a load in the second half,” Williams said. “He hit big 3s with ease that hurt us.” After that, UNC made seven consecutive free throws — two by Will Graves, four straight by Ed Davis and one by Deon Thompson — after shooting 52.9 percent in the first half (9-of-17) to cut the margin to 66-64 with 3:38 remaining. Trailing by three with 2:12 left, UNC turned the ball over when the ball went out of bounds off Davis. John Henson, who had a career-high 14 points, was called for goaltending on the other end as the Hokies spread the lead to 69-64 with 1:50 left. Davis hit 1 of 2 from the line, then Larry Drew II stole the ball and drove in for a layup to cut the margin to two with 1:09. But that would be the Tar Heels’ only field goal during the drought until Drew’s long 3-pointer at the buzzer. That’s not to say they didn’t have opportunities. Marcus Ginyard had a 3-point attempt blocked with 31.1 seconds left, and Will Graves had another attempt from behind the arc that rattled in and out of the basket with 18.8 seconds remaining and the Tar Heels (13-9, 2-5) trailing 71-67. “It would have been fun with Will’s 3-point shot had stayed in,” Williams said. “When things are going tough, they usually spin out like that.” Graves, who left the game with an ankle injury before returning, for his late 3-point attempt, agreed that the Tar Heels showed improvement after a sluggish start.

“[We’re] tired of losing,” Graves said as his ankle was wrapped in ice after the game. “We’ve got one step [toward improvement], competitiveness — next step will be winning.” UNC struggled out of the gate, leaving Dorenzo Hudson free for a 3pointer just 10 seconds into the game. Hudson finished with 17 points, 12 in the first half. After a pair of turnovers by the Tar Heels, Jeff Allen muscled his way inside to follow his own miss for a 5-0 lead by the Hokies. Davis made 1 of 2 free throws — setting the tone for the Tar Heels in the first half — to get UNC on the board with 18:10 remaining, but Hudson responded with another 3-pointer for an 8-1 Virginia Tech lead. The Tar Heels’ first field goal came on an emphatic dunk by Davis at the 17:13 mark, the Hokies continued to pull away. Ginyard, who came off the bench, left the game with 14:17 left in the first half after stepping on a Virginia Tech player and injuring his right ankle. He was examined on the bench, then returned to the game with 13:39 left. Ginyard’s made 1 of 2 from the free-throw line to stem a run that had the Hokies leading 18-6. A 15-footer by Allen gave Virginia Tech a 2210 lead, but that’s when the tide shifted. David Wear, who also had a career high with 12 points, hit a jumper from just inside the arc, then added a 3-pointer with 10:03 left to pull UNC to within 22-15. From there, the Tar Heels went on a 14-2 run capped by a pair of free throws by Henson to tie the score at 24-24 with 7:20 left in the half. Davis made 1 of 2 free throws at the 5:32 mark to give UNC its first lead at 27-26. With Virginia Tech

leading 33-31, David Wear put in a follow shot to tie the score for the fourth time in the half. UNC got the ball back on a turnover with 6.9 seconds left, and Larry Drew II drove the length of the floor and lofted in a floater for a 35-31 lead for the Tar Heels.

told his team he was going to get a technical foul. He did, leaving his team behind 13 late in the third quarter, but it seemed to work. East whittled it down to nine at the start of the fourth quarter, setting itself up for a late run. “I said I am about to get a technical and you are going to have to recover from that if they make the free throws and from that point on go out and get it done,” Jacobs said. The momentum from the technical wore off, though, with Lexington going back up by 13 with 7:11 to go. Needing a second shot in the arm, Taylor Warren stepped up and delivered something special East fans have not seen since alumnus Justin Strickland’s playing days. After his short jumper and two free throws by Keaton Hawks, Warren lowered the boom. He stole the ball away near the midcourt line, scooped it up and raced in for a onehanded jam that drew a raucous reaction from both fan bases. “That is a big momentum play and Lexington feeds off of it and we feed off of it,” said Jacobs. East proceeded to make its charge, taking the lead for the second time in the game on a Blake Dodd steal and layup. Free throws played into the outcome as the Eagles missed five of their last six at the line, giving LHS a chance to tie or take the lead with 23.7 seconds left. Wade Goff got into the lane and tossed up a shot that missed to the left. Jerrett McCown found himself in the right place to tap it in, sending the game to overtime. “We had it won, and then we don’t box out on the last possession of regulation and that is the ball game,” said Jacobs. “I told the guys if we box out every possession, then the game is ours.” Lexington’s 8-2 run built a somewhat comfortable 86-81 lead, but East would hang around and trailed 86-83 with 14.3 seconds left after a Zach Palmer drive. The Yellow Jackets threw a long pass out of the timeout that was deflected and nearly stolen by East, but McCown had another gift fall in his lap that he flushed down two-handed to put an exclamation point on the win. East dips to 10-8 (3-3), while Lexington keeps the top spot with an unblemished 6-0 mark, with an 8-12 overall record.

the ball inside to Jasmine Carter and Domonique Murphy, who both had a height advantage over East. Lexington scored nine of the final 11 points to build a 15-10 lead after one. East used two 6-0 runs to snatch the lead back at 22-20, and took the lead for good at 24-22 when Taylor Alexander scored in the paint. The Yellow Jackets continued to benefit from the uncharacteristic shooting by the Golden Eagles, trailing by only six at intermission. “Lexington came out with a lot of intensity and really played hard,” Eddinger said. Haley Grimsley poured in 26 points in the game, but her shot from the outside was off target. She failed to make a 3 in the opening half, but got out in transition for 11 points. Second half was a completely different story for the sharpshooter and the Golden Eagles. Grimsley found the range she had been looking for drilling a pair of 3pointers that aided a dominating, 18-0 run in three minutes by East. Lexington could not maneuver its way through an active East defense and turned the ball over repeatedly. Candace Fox had countless steals in the game that set herself and teammates up with easy layups. “I don’t know how many turnovers or steals happened during that time, but I think they came out with a little more fire underneath them,” Eddinger said of his team. “Second half was a pretty

Saturday, February 6, 2010 – Thomasville Times – B5

SPORTS STEP From page B1 admirers to pet him, he appears to enjoy it somewhat but he’s very calm and reserved. His personality matches that of his owner. Dez is also a very calm and mild mannered man. While Dez is friendly and personable, his nature is deliberate and calm. In training Dash, I’m sure Dez personality played a big part in how Dash turned out. It simply wouldn’t have matched Dez’ nature had Dash been an excitable, overly friendly dog. I’m a firm believer that dogs learn to match the personality of their owners. By nature, I’m not a reserved, calm person. I tend to be enthusiastic and intense. My dogs always turn out that way. My old hunting partner, Billy Lagle, was calm and laid back. Every dog of his I’ve known has been the same way. Of course there are exceptions to this but think about the dogs and owners you know. While I firmly believe your dog’s likely to assume some of your personality traits, this doesn’t mean that he’ll have good people skills if you do. Dogs operate with a different set of social rules than humans. If Larry approached people the same way he does another dog, and that’s one of the things we’re still working on, his actions could be considered by some people to be threatening. It’s not normal behavior for a dog meeting another dog for the first time to sit and wait for the other dog to approach. A dog’s normal posture is to stand either submissively or defensively and allow the stranger to sniff him. Dogs learn all kinds of information just by sniffing the newcomer. By sniffing you, Larry can tell if you smoke, if you have a dog or cat, what kind of living conditions you live in, what you’ve had for the last two or three meals, and probably a lot about how healthy you are. Dogs learn more about us by smell in two minutes than most couples learn about each other in the first few dates. The most amiable stance for Larry to take when meeting a person is to sit and wait for the stranger to approach him. If petted, he should accept the attention without trying to sniff too much information off the stranger. He should show appreciation for the attention without getting too friendly. It’s a hard thing for a young dog to learn. Sitting and waiting to be approached isn’t normal dog behavior and has to be learned. The trick is how can I teach Larry to be reserved when he’s naturally excited by the attention? I have to somehow dampen his enthusiasm without making him shy of strangers. If I punished him when he became excited about meeting a stranger, he might become suspicious of strangers. Simply calling him down helps but it also inhibits the person from relating to him directly since they feel they’re getting him in trouble with me. Once again, this is where Larry’s training collar comes into play.

By lowering the stimulation level to a really low level, I can cause Larry to be slightly uneasy though he might not exactly know why. At the lowest levels, I can barely feel the slight current from the collar. The sensation is a slight tingle, not really uncomfortable, but there. While I can’t read Larry’s mind, I think the low level stimulation creates just enough uneasiness to make him think about his manners. It

just slightly stems the enthusiasm that might cause him to get too excited and jump or otherwise scare someone. The hard part of all this is that there really are no hard and fast rules. I must do the best I can to guide Larry into behavior that’s not natural for him. One could argue that I’m putting him through a lot of stress in this training but I have to consider the end result. Hunting and spending time with

me are Larry’s favorite things in life. He can enjoy those things more fully if he can handle complex situations that don’t come normally for a dog. Learning to use Microsoft Word was very stressful on me, but it’s opened up a whole world to me in the form of writing and I could never have become a writer without that stress. If you see Larry and me, don’t feel guilty about coming up and

Trumpeter Chiz Rider to perform at Piedmont Crossing TIMES STAFF REPORT

Piedmont Crossing is pleased to host a trumpet concert by nationally acclaimed, Chiz Rider, on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in Unity Place. By the time Chiz Rider was seven years old, he had been playing the trumpet for three years, having discovered his father’s high school instrument in a closet when he was four. Since then, he has dedicated himself and his music to Jesus Christ. At age seven, he made his concert debut in his home church in Pennsylvania; national touring began during his last years in high school. His first recording at age 15 was a custom album titled, “CHIZ.” Ninety percent self-taught, Rider’s fresh musical style embodies a jazz/pop sound that has been influenced by such versatile jazz mu-

Rider sicians as Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Maynard Ferguson, Louis Armstrong and Jon Faddis. Rider and his crew maintain an active national touring schedule, including performances of the national anthem prior to major league sports events. He has performed over 250 concerts annually throughout North America, as well as several international tours. Rider has entertained with such popular Chris-

tian artists as Carman, Margaret Becker, DC Talk, Newsboys, Cindy Morgan, Larnell Harris, and Michael W. Smith. He has also appeared at a Billy Graham Crusade and numerous times at the Crystal Cathedral. He played for President Bush’s Central Pennsylvania Presidential Campaign and for the Pennsylvania and West Virginia Special Olympics opening ceremonies. Rider’s trumpet ministry appeals to a wide age range. From the heartfelt “Amazing Grace,” which he played at a Billy Graham Crusade, to the high energy contemporary sounds of “SOS”, which he plays at youth concerts. Come out and enjoy an evening with this talented, young musician. This concert is free and open to the public. For further details or to RSVP, contact Blair White, director of marketing, at 474-3605.
