HiToms engage in new venture BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Thomasville HiToms President Greg Suire is embarking on a venture he hopes will lead to job creation in a town that desperately needs it. Suire and the HiToms Baseball Club announced on Monday the creation of H.T. Authentic Sportswear, a company focused on the production of a custom, moisture management apparel line that will be completely

manufactured in the United States and primarily fabricated in the Thomasville/High Point area. After seeing a drop in corporate sales last summer amidst the national recession, Suire realized that in order for his franchise to be successful, the community around him needed to get stronger financially. Suire’s hopes are that others will follow, leading to an economic recovery in Thomasville. “The HiToms are fairly recog-

nizable and if we do it in a small way maybe it will inspire others to do the same,” Suire said. “There’re no guarantees. This has a niche in the marketplace. This isn’t about the HiToms. This about putting people to work in our community. If we can get our own people to try our product we can put people back to work.” A majority of the apparel fabrication will take place at Carolina Safety Sport in Thomasville and Talent Sport Inc. in

High Point. Customers will have more than 15 different color options, five fabric choices and six different design styles. H.T. Authentic Sportswear also is pricing their apparel at 25 percent less than other industry leading moisture management lines. “I’m not saying this will be a job creation overnight,” said Suire. “I do know that by hiring one person affects the lives of five to 10 people. There comes

Budget highlights Council retreat BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

In the midst of the second greatest recession in U.S. history, Thomasville faces budget issues just like most municipalities nationwide. At the Thomasville City Council Retreat, held Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ball Park Road Community Center, Finance Director Tony Jarrett told the gathered council that as of Jan. 31, 2010, total general fund revenues were down by $982,866, and water and sewer revenues were down $1.7 million. “We all realize these are very difficult economic times throughout our region and throughout our country,” said City Manager Kelly Craver. “We certainly do face challenges, as other cities are.”

HEALTHY DECISIONS Thomasville Middle School students Julia Stroud, Paul Taylor, Megan Kinley give a presentation on whether it should be illegal for parents to smoke around children Monday afternoon at the TMS Media Center. The presentation was part of a program by the North Carolina Association of Athletics, Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, a national organization that promotes health and wellness. With the help of IMPACT grants, TMS health teacher Janet Daniels had students use technology to conduct health research on several different topics, including whether or not parents should serve alcohol to their children while at home. Seven students went to Winston-Salem on Nov. 13 and did their presentations. On Monday. parents got to see the project in person. Other students participating in the program included Zachary Pettit, Pavon Amin, Christina Hensley and Petra Lopez.

Repairs for collector line at BCH approved BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Thomasville City Council approved the Capital Project Ordinance to repair 24 inches of the Baptist Children’s Home collector line that was subject to the sewage spill last August in its Monday night meeting. The project will cost the city $537,402 in engineering, contingency and construction improvement costs — including the installation of manholes, pavement replacement and erosion protection. The funds will be transferred from the Capital Reserve Fund, money that the city has set aside for emergencies. “The money that is being used to finance this project comes from a Capital Reserve Fund that we’d put back over a number of years and saved,” said City Council Member Raleigh York. “I just wanted to make the point that this is money that was saved and not borrowed.” While taking money from the city’s savings has prevented the council from incurring debt, it also limits spending options for further projects, York added. Council also approved the annexation agreement between High Point and Thomasville, which defines the area in Randolph County that can be annexed by either municipality during the agreement’s 20-year term. The agreement is a renewal of the one made in 1999, which expires March 1,

Grice ﬁles for re-election BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

LEXINGTON — Feeling he’s leading his department in the right direction, Sheriff David Grice filed for re-election Monday morning at the Davidson County Board of Elections. Grice, Davidson County’s incumbent sheriff, will run as a republican against former sheriff Gerald Hege, Terry Price and Edgar Shuler in the May primary. Grice, a lifelong resident of Davidson County became sheriff in June, 2004, and believes his resume, experience and ability to work with surrounding law enforcement agencies makes him a viable candidate to continue leading the Davidson County

Sheriff ’s Office in the future. “I think I am a good candidate,” Grice said. “I took time to go back to school, and was actually involved in law enforcement while others were just starting their careers. I want the department to remain successful, viable and current.” Since becoming sheriff, Grice said he has made strides towards rebuilding public trust of the DCSO and its deputies. Grice took over as sheriff after Hege, his predecessor, resigned amidst a scandal involving money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of DCSO. Hege eventually pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up the situation and was placed on pro-

bation. Grice’s low-key style is polar opposite of Hege, who was known for antics such as painting cells pink and starring in a reality TV program. “I pledge that I have not and will not use the office of Davidson County Sheriff to promote myself, sell merchandise, create reality TV shows or participate in any other money-making schemes,” said Grice in a press release. “Most candidates fill their press releases with promises of what they hope to accomplish. [I’ve] earned a second term based on accomplishments, not campaign promises.” Grice pointed out that there

When ďŹ nancial sense trumps your credit score ADVICE

MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist

Dear Mary: I am paying off a credit card this month and will not be using it again. Soon, I will be charged the annual $50 fee on that account. You have said not to cancel a credit card because it will hurt your credit score, but do I have to keep paying an annual fee? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sara A., e-mail Dear Sara: Congratulations! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just made a giant leap toward

becoming debt-free. If your credit score is less than 700 and this is an account you have had for a long time, you should be cautious about closing it too soon. It might be worth the $50 fee this year to give you time to apply for a new, no-fee credit card account. (Check www. IndexCreditCards.com for the best deals.) You could establish a new, fee-free account before you give this expensive one the old heave-ho. However, if this is one of several accounts that you have, your credit score is greater than 700 and you will not be applying for a mortgage in the next six months or so, I would cancel it if I were you. There are times when good financial sense trumps maximizing your credit score. Dear Mary: I will be taking a job in a school

district that does not prorate salaries. I never have made a budget before. How do I make a budget for 12 months on a nine-month salary? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beth S., Arizona Dear Beth: First, you need to open a second checking account. This is the account into which you will deposit your paychecks. Then pay yourself each month from this account. Use this second checking account for no other purpose. Next, divide your annual take-home pay by 12. This is the amount you will withdraw from your new checking account each month. For example, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say your annual salary is $50,000 and, after withholding, your net pay is nine checks of $4,500 each, or $40,500. Divide by 12 to get $3,375. That is the amount you should with-

draw each month, not the $4,500 you deposited. It will require a great deal of discipline for you to manage your paychecks this way, but the result will be enough money for you to pay yourself a steady income, even during the months you are not working. Dear Mary: Our dishwasher is only 5 years old, but the tines on the rack keep breaking off. Is there any way to buy new racks without paying an arm and a leg? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jan S., e-mail

Dear Jan: You can purchase parts for just about any home appliance, even those that are many years old. But you need to shop around. First, go to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site to see whether it offers parts. Before you buy, contact someone in customer service and press him or her to replace that rack without charge, leaning on the fact that a dishwasher rack certainly should last longer than five years. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, compare the cost to buy a new one at

RepairClinic.com and AppliancePartsPros.com. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.

HEALTH High Point Regional receives Level III Trauma Designation renewal certificate TIMES STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – High Point Regional Health System received its Level III Trauma Designation Renewal Certificate on February 10th, 2010 at the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services quarterly Advisory Council meeting. “High Point Regional Health System is excited to be re-designated a Level III Trauma Center,” said Meg Cashion, Emergen-

cy Department manager at High Point Regional. “This re-designation is another example of High Point Regional’s commitment to providing exceptional health services to the people of this region.” Level III Trauma Center means: • High Point Regional serves communities that do not have immediate access to a Level I or II Trauma Center • Level III Trauma Centers provide prompt as-

sessment, resuscitation, emergency operations and stabilization and also arrange for transfers to a facility that can provide definitive trauma care • General Surgeons are required in a Level III facility • Plan of care for these facilities require transfer agreements and standardized treatment protocols High Point Regional’s Level III designation is granted for the maximum four year period.

Hospice Service of remembrance offers comfort for the grieving TIMES STAFF REPORT

Hospice of the Piedmont will remember those who died during 2009 at its 19th annual Service of Remembrance. The event will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 7 at Williams Memorial C.M.E. Church, 3400 Triangle Lake Road in High Point. Everyone in the community is invited to the non-denominational service planned by Hospice of the Piedmont, which cared for 830 patients in the Triad last year. Attendees are encouraged to bring framed tabletop photos of their loved one for display at the altar during the service. The Service of Remembrance includes a candle lighting ceremony. “As candles are lit, we ask participants to say aloud the name of their loved one,” says Rev. Jeanette Robertson, a chaplain at Hospice of the Piedmont. “All the flames glowing together remind us that we share this healing journey together.” The Rev. Robert J. Williams Jr., senior

pastor of Williams Memorial C.M.E., will present a short sermon and Hospice staff members will read selected scriptures. Special music will be heard from the church’s Choral Ensemble under the direction of Kenneth Norman, and Tammy Stillwater, a harpist who provides therapeutic music at several local medical centers. “I am always moved by the comforting words and inspiring music at the Service of Remembrance,” says Robertson, who looks forward to the community coming together each year to support one another. In case of inclement weather, visit www.hospice-careconnection.org or call 889.8446 that day for a message about cancellation and rescheduling. Hospice of the Piedmont is a not-forprofit agency providing medical, emotional, and spiritual support for those with life-limiting illness and their families, regardless of financial resources, since 1981. The agency serves four counties – Guilford, Randolph, Davidson, and Forsyth – from its High Point office.

The heartbreaking differences between men and women TIMES STAFF REPORT When it comes to heart attacks, men and women are not created equal. Serious differences in the signs and symptoms of heart attacks vary widely among the sexes. According to the American Heart Association, more women than men die each year from heart attacks. While men have a greater overall risk of heart attack, women are only half as likely as men to survive a first attack and are more likely to have a second attack if they do. Some common signs for both men and women that should not be ignored include: • Crushing chest pain

or feelings of heaviness in the check region that last for several minutes with no relief • Creeping pain that spreads from the chest to the back, shoulder, neck, jaw or arms • Chest pain combined with faintness, dizziness or nausea; sweating or shortness of breath Most women are familiar with these classic heart attack symptoms, not the “silent killers” of their own gender. However, post-menopausal women may have higher rates of congestive heart failures, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which can lead to heart attacks. And atypical symptoms cause women to seek medical care later than men, resulting

in permanent, often irreparable, damage to the heart. Some atypical symptoms in women include: • Severe heartburnlike feelings in the upper abdomen or pain in the breast instead of unbearable check pain. • A sudden onset of “flulike” symptoms such as headache, heavy perspiration, weakness and fatigue, coupled with acute anxiety.

Women’s heart health topic of hospital luncheon TIMES STAFF REPORT Lexington Memorial Hospital is sponsoring a luncheon Monday, Feb. 22 from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. to help women determine if they are at risk for heart disease and heart attack.

public as part of February’s “Heart Health” activities. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 2384589. The luncheon will be held in the hospital cafeteria. Lexington Memorial Hospital, with 94 acute care beds, is part of the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center health system.

Obama spurns gun control VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Among the many groups that opposed Barack Obama’s presidential race, few were more certain or vehement than gun rights organizations. “Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history,” the National Rifle Association announced. “Obama is a committed anti-gunner,” warned Gun Owners of America. So it’s no stunner that after a year in office, the president is getting hammered by people who have no use for his policy on firearms. The surprise is that the people attacking him are those who favor gun control, not those who oppose it. Obama’s record on this issue has been largely overlooked — except by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which recently issued a report card flunking him on all seven issues it deems important. Said President Paul Helmke, “If I had been told, in the days before Barack Obama’s inauguration, that his record on gun violence prevention would be this poor, I would not have believed it.” Had he listened to the candidate in 2008, he would have believed. At a September campaign rally in rural Virginia, Obama declared unequivocally, “I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away. … There are some common-sense gun safety laws that I believe in. But I am not going to take your guns away.” The Brady Center must have hoped he was being less than honest. And he was: He had no intention of pushing those “common-sense” laws he had previously favored. On the list of issues for which Obama is willing to put himself on the line, gun control ranks somewhere below free trade with Uzbekistan. So he has proposed nothing in the way of new federal restrictions on firearms. Even the “assault weapons” ban signed by President Clinton — and allowed to expire in 2004 — has no visible place on his agenda. Not only that, he’s approved changes that should gladden the hearts of gun-rights supporters, a group that includes me.

He signed a law permitting guns to be taken into national parks. He signed another allowing guns as checked baggage on Amtrak. He acted to preserve an existing law limiting the use of government information on firearms it has traced. Still, the NRA is not rushing to recant. A spokesman admits the president has signed some provisions it favors, but notes that they were attached to legislation he wanted, making them hard to veto. Says Andrew Arulanandam, “He has disappointed us with his appointments,” particularly Atty. Gen. Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, neither a darling of the shooting set. But those are petty matters given Obama’s overall refusal to do anything to advance gun control. On this issue, he took such a strong, clear position during the campaign that he has no room to maneuver. That was not accidental. It was deliberate — the equivalent of burning his ships to eliminate the option of retreat. In terms of actual policy, rather than his previous record, Obama is a long way from being anti-gun. This is not because he has fond memories of sitting in a deer stand as a lad in Hawaii or of talking shotguns with Dick Cheney. It’s because his mother didn’t raise a fool. Like some other Democrats, he may recall that in 1994, after banning “assault weapons,” they lost the House for the first time in 40 years. Obama knows that anyone who staunchly favors banning guns won’t vote Republican no matter what. But some independents who are protective of their weapons may vote Democratic if that issue is off the table. Off the table is exactly where he intends to keep it. Last year, 65 House Democrats wrote Holder vowing to “actively oppose” any effort to restore the assault weapons ban. The president has enough trouble getting legislation that enjoys overwhelming support in his party. He is not about to pick a fight with centrist Democrats over gun control. Opponents of gun control should not rely on Obama’s innermost sentiments on the subject. He obviously doesn’t cherish the right to keep and bear arms. But for those who favor Second Amendment rights, here’s the nice thing about having such a canny politician in the White House: He doesn’t have to.

Island living on Ocracoke VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist “She lived on this island for 77 years and never left, not even for a day,” Alton Ballance told us about a woman who spent her entire life on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Except for the small village of Ocracoke, the entire eight mile long island is part of protected national seashore — one long, wide, undeveloped seashore on the ocean side. In the village, the permanent residents trace their history back to the days of the pirate Blackbeard. Accessible only by sea or air, the village holds on to its special history and island character even though it is overrun with tourists in the summer season. They share an independent spirit and are proud of their special legendary “Hoi Toide” accents. Ballance’s audience was a group of public school teachers who were part of a seminar sponsored by NCAT (The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching). In part, NCAT’s 5-day seminars are small rewards for the extraordinary service of superior teachers.

But mostly they are part of an effort to improve retention of our best teachers and to renew their excitement for learning and teaching. Ballance was introducing the peculiarities of island living. “Never left the island, even for a single day,” Ballance continued. “What do you think about that?” Among the peculiarities of island living for those who come and go is the ferry schedule. For instance, the ferry between Swan Quarter, the county seat of Hyde County and Ocracoke (also a part of Hyde), is two and a half hours. The ferry runs just two times a day in winter. The day before, while my friend Bob Anthony and I waited for the ferry to take us to Ocracoke, he showed me around the towns and landscapes the of the mainland part of Hyde County he came to know growing up on visits to his mother’s family. Hyde County, I learned, has no traffic lights and not a single incorporated city, town, or village. But it does have Lake Mattamuskeet with its swarms of tundra swans and geese. There were also no elevators in Hyde Country until the R.S. Spencer store in Engelhard installed a freight elevator when Anthony was a little boy and he and the other children in the area would come to make the scary ride up to the second floor of the store. Today R. S. Spencer, Jr. maintains the store, minus the elevator. It is a community institution that

survives because the big box stores have not found their way to Hyde County. At his nearby home, Spencer maintains a Hyde County history collection and research library of museum quality, something that caught the envious eye of Bob Anthony, the Curator of the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill. Down the street in Engelhard you can find a working fishing port with at least 30 or 40 small fishing boats lined up as if for an oil painting from scenes 150 years ago. Not far away are the fish houses where smart North Carolinians know you can get fresh “just off the boat” catch. “I would like a couple of pounds of shrimp. Have you got some?” I asked the manager of a fish house at nearby Swan Quarter. “I got shrimp, but you don’t want ‘em. They came from the Gulf. The only thing I got that’s local is oysters and they came in today.” After the long ferry ride to Ocracoke, Anthony and I settled in with Ballance’s seminar group to learn more about island living. More about that experience in a later column, but I had already learned that the mainland part of Hyde County is something of an island unto itself, a very special place I would like to visit again and again. D.G. Martin is hosting his final season of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www.

Though property taxes helped to cushion the blow of a sales tax deficit with an actual growth of 3.6 percent, the 9 percent decrease in sales tax sunk that revenue $450,000 below budget. In good news, Jarrett said the Chair City saw its first sales tax growth in a non-holiday month in October 2009. “We’re starting to see not just a stabalization, but I think we’re seeing a move towards buying things,” Jarrett said. As for the severe drop in revenue, $613,217 of the $982,866 dip resulted from the sewage spill last fall. “Had we not had a major spill and a large dollar amount to impact our dollar amount in water and sewer, the general fund would actually be making money at this particular time,” Jarrett said. “It’s a complement to current management — it’s a compliment to the council — to have the foresight to plan for the current economy.” Despite the negative figures, Jarrett said he is confident that the city can recover by increasing revenue by one percent and cutting expenditures by one percent. “I think at best we will break even,” he said. “It’s probably not a profit year, but I do think we will break even.”

According to Ken Hepler, planning and zoning administrator, such agreements between municipalities help to encourage the orderly growth of unincorporated areas and eliminate the uncertainty of the people residing in those areas. While council members approved the agreement, Barney Hill, a Thomasville resident, opposed the annexation because it betrayed its goal to eliminate uncertainty.

In other news, the council also discussed: • City fees • The need for sidewalks on Cox Avenue and Doak Street as well as the need to repair sidewalks downtown • The installation of extra security lighting in downtown parking lots • The development of minimum appearance standards for properties in downtown C-4 zoning district • The development of a long-range corridor plan to spruce up Salem Street, Randolph Street, Lexington Avenue and National Hwy • Updating a list of vacant industrial and commercial property • How to draw more of the community to Town Hall Meetings • The use of e-mail to send files between council members to save paper • Sprucing up the city Web site to make it more attractive • Holding a second city-sponsored job fair • Guidelines for concerts and events at PACE park and amphitheater, including the allowance of beer and wine sales at the events • Cleaning up neighborhoods by enforcing ordinances

“You cannot hope to reduce these people’s uncertainty as long as you retain your statutory power to alter or abolish the agreement at any time, subject only to your own whim and High Point’s,” he said. “This is a truce in a turf war.” In other news, council also formally honored former council member Clyde Pat Slaten; Approved for condemnation the dilapidated structure at 19 Jordan St.; Approved the CDBG Hook-up Grant Project Ordinance which offers funds to mid- to lowerincome families to hook

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor LEXINGTON — Rico Geter was puzzled at halftime. He was shooting wide open 3-point shots in the first half that usually go in for him, but he had a goose-egg in the scoring column after 20 minutes. The Davidson County Community College shooting guard spent much of halftime finding his shot again. His adjustments paid off in a big way for him and the Storm. Geter hit four 3pointers in the second half, two of them coming during crunch time to help DCCC slide past

Caldwell Community College 86-77 on Saturday. “I don’t know what was going on —it just wouldn’t go in first half,” said Geter, who like many others in attendance, expects his shots to fall. “I knew it was going to go in eventually, so I just kept shooting.” No. 6 Davidson remained perfect with a 9-0 record in the Tarheel Conference, 23-4 overall. Justin Glover paced the Storm with 24 points with Phillip Williams and Geter getting 16 points each. Eric Potts added 12.

In was an uncharacteristic day for the Storm all around on Saturday. The offense was not crisp and there were defensive breakdowns that allowed the Cobras to stay within striking distance. Caldwell took a 67-63 lead with 8:27 left, but DCCC used an 8-0 run to turn the tables and take a four-point lead for themselves. Defense remained an issue for the Storm with the Cobras coming back to trail by one after Octavius Robinson’s dunk. After a DCCC timeout,

the ball found the hands of Geter twice in the next 40 seconds, giving the Storm the boost they needed to finish the game. Geter buried one from the corner with 2:37 to go, but it was answered by Caldwell’s Robert Shaw. Next time down the floor, Geter stood in the same spot as before and was promptly fed the ball. His release was perfect and the ball swished through, putting the Storm up 8177.

Jamie McMurray gets showered with Gatorade after winning the 52nd running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday. It was McMurray’s first Daytona 500 win, marking the biggest victory of his career.

McMurray gets biggest win of career NASCARMEDIA.COM DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — What a storybook finish! Jamie McMurray won the 52nd annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Daytona 500 but it took three green, white, checkered flag attempts and an unbelievable shove from the sport’s most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., to pull the curtain down on one of the most exciting 500’s in the sport’s history. After two red flags to repair a hole in the track’s bumpy surface, McMurray wound up in the front pack when it came to the

two-lap showdown for NASCAR’s biggest prize. And Earnhardt provided the help he needed to hold off a snarling, hungry pack of professional stock car drivers trying to add their names to the Daytona 500 record book. Ear nhardt came from 10th to second in two laps to get the assist, and McMurray was overcome with emotion afterwards. McMurray was the odd-man-out at Roush Racing at the end of 2009 when that organization had to drop a team to comply with NASCAR’s four-car ownership rule. McMurray didn’t know if he would have a ride

Drivers focus on winning races, not other sports Like everyone else on the planet, I saw a lot of pre-game Super Bowl TV coverage on Feb. 7, because there was no racing that day and I had nothing else to do. Like everyone else in NASCAR Nation, I got all excited and fangirlish during the portion of the broadcast when celebrities were giving their picks, and some of “our” drivers were included in that group. Tony Stewart’s segment was predictable, as he reminded everyone that he’s an Indiana boy and therefore had to go with the Indianapolis Colts. He looked and sounded good. Score one for the home team. Just a few seconds later, Mark Martin filled the screen. His prognostication went something like this: “I don’t even know who’s playing in the Super Bowl, but if Brett Favre was in it, I’d pull for him.” I hung my head. I closed my eyes. I may have groaned aloud. Surely I hadn’t heard this right. One of the most respected, successful and popular drivers in the entire sport of NASCAR did not just tell most of the world that he had no clue who was playing in the Super Bowl. Yes, he did. This, in my spontaneous and very reactionary opinion, was going to be a PR disaster. As NASCAR continues to fight for dominance in professional sports — a battle in which it is performing quite well — it is vitally important that our athletes be visible, approachable, articulate, and relatable. But then it hit me, like one of those smack yourself in the head “Wow, I could’ve had a V8” moments. The day before the Super Bowl, Martin went out and won his first-ever Daytona 500 pole, becoming the oldest driver in history to start NASCAR’s No. 1 race in the No. 1 spot. I couldn’t help but wonder, if someone had asked New Orleans Saints and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees on that afternoon before the game who was sitting on the pole for the Daytona 500, would he have known the answer? I’m no Vegas odds maker, but I’m thinking probably not.

Big day for Krzyzewski, Blue Devils BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Mike Krzyzewski’s 1,000th game. In his 30th season. In Cameron Indoor Stadium’s 70th year. A single zero means next to nothing, but string some zeros together and the meaning multiplies. Yet with all the large numbers staring the Duke Blue Devils in the face Saturday afternoon, Krzyzewski — on his 63rd birthday to boot — asked his team to play with a singular purpose. “Forget about my birthday, one thousand, 70 years of Cameron and all that. We’re playing Maryland,” Krzyzewski said. “You’ve got to play for you, play for what we’re doing right now with this unit. “If you do that and you win, then those other things are neat.” The Blue Devils — especially senior Brian Zoubek — responded to the request, easily running past the Terrapins 77-56 to seize command of first place in the ACC. Zoubek, making his first start of the season, performed like he was the guest of honor. Zoubek scored 16 points and grabbed a career-

high 17 rebounds in just 22 minutes — the most rebounds for Duke player in such limited minutes since Chris Burgess had 16 in 19 minutes in 1998. “It feels great,” Zoubek said. “I’m playing a lot more aggressive. I just feel good out there. I feel like I’m in really good shape. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that all together. “It feels really good to get this win with everything we had going.” Zoubek started for the No. 8 Blue Devils (21-4, 92 ACC) not because of the recent injury to fellow senior Lance Thomas, but because of his recent level of play. Thomas surprised everyone by starting three days after suffering a serious bone bruise at North Carolina and contributed four points and three rebounds. Zoubek started alongside Thomas in the spot normally occupied by sophomore Miles Plumlee. After Maryland (167, 6-3 ACC) took what would be its lone lead of the game at 6-5, Zoubek scored six points during a 15-0 run to help Duke build a 20-6 lead. After the Terrapins closed what had become a 22-point deficit down

to 54-44 when guard Greivis Vasquez reeled off nine of his 17 points in less than two minutes, Zoubek scored six more during a 13-3 spurt that doubled the lead and sealed the outcome. And in between, early in the second half, Zoubek even came up with a rare dunk, leaping to follow Kyle Singler’s missed 3-pointer. “He was even playing above the rim,” Krzyzewski said, joking that Zoubek’s pregame meal of pancakes should become a staple from here on. “He was kind of the difference, because we weren’t hitting as well in other areas. Jon [Scheyer, with 22 points], especially towards the end, really was spectacular himself, … but Brian’s buckets really just gave us such a lift.” While Zoubek played above his typical supporting role, Duke junior Nolan Smith made sure that Vasquez didn’t play up to his starring role. Before Vasquez’s strong finish, he was virtually a nonfactor, as Duke built a 40-24 halftime lead. “I look at myself as a great defender, as somebody who can lock somebody down,” said Smith, who scored 12 of his 14 points after halftime. “I

just stayed in front of him and made it tough for him. At times, I feel he was frustrated. Whether it was me on him or Jon on him, he never really got any breathing room. That can wear on somebody.” As a result of Duke’s typical defense and a notso-typical day for Zoubek, the Blue Devils were able to proudly wear T-shirts commemorating Krzyzewski’s special day after the final buzzer. “It was their game,” Krzyzewski said. “They allowed us to share it. “That’s a pretty neat day.” Notes: Krzyzewski laughed off reports that the New Jersey Nets and new owner Mikhail Prokhorov are interested in acquiring his coaching services. “The guy’s Russian, right? You think they’d hire a Polish guy?” Krzyzewski said. “No one has contacted me. If they do, I think ‘nyet’ would be easy for me to say.” … Smith couldn’t help but have a little laugh of his own, this one regarding Zoubek’s dunk. “His dunk shocked the world,” Smith said. “ESPN needs to make that top 10 right now just because it’s ‘Zoubs.’ “

sense of urgency defensively,” said DCCC coach Matt Ridge. “They did whatever they wanted to do for a vast majority of the game, but down the stretch we made some big-time plays on both ends.” The first half featured 10 lead changes and six ties between the two. Caldwell took its biggest lead at 12-7, but DCCC came back to claim its largest lead of the frame at 43-36. With Geter shooting 0-for-5, Williams and Glover picked up the scoring by combining for 21 points as the Storm led 43-38 at the half. After getting up by eight two minutes into the second half, DCCC slipped on defense and the Cobras blitzed them 9-0 to reclaim the lead. They would trade the lead five more times until the Storm took it for good at 69-67. Davidson always seemed to be missing that one big shot that could get them on a roll. Geter finally got them what they needed just in time. “We never really got going because they kept

scoring,” Ridge said. “Part of that is you have to tip your hat to Caldwell, but we can’t go through the motions defensively and not get out on the shooters.” A good team finds ways to win on an off day, and that is exactly what the Storm did. “We always keep our composure and we are resilient,” Geter said. “We always have the mindset that we are going to win.”

UNC sweeps Wolpack BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina point guard Larry Drew II has no clue what gets into him whenever he plays rival N.C. State. But whatever it is the Tar Heels sure could use more of it. Drew scored a teamhigh 15 points — 12 in the second half — and recorded seven assists to lead UNC past N.C. State 74-61 in matchup of the schools at the bottom of the ACC on Saturday at the Smith Center. In front of a crowd that included more than 200 former players, the Tar Heels ended a four-game losing streak, recorded their first home win since beating Virginia Tech on Jan. 10 and avoided falling to last in the conference. It was also UNC’s eighth straight win over N.C. State. In the Tar Heels’ two wins over the Wolfpack this season, Drew has combined for 35 points, 14 assists and three turnovers. “Maybe it’s the color — the red,” said Drew, who played the second half without a turnovers Saturday. “Like bulls, you charge and attack. I don’t know what it was, but maybe that’s it. I can’t really put my finger on it.” It was the Tar Heels’ first game without lead-

ing rebounder and second-leading scorer Ed Davis, who is out at least six weeks with a broken left wrist, and freshman John Henson earned his first start in Davis’ place. Henson played a solid 26 minutes and finished with nine points, eight rebounds and three blocks. “It was nerve racking, but after the tip, I got all the jitters out,” said Henson, who has looked more comfortable since switching from the three to the four position a few games ago. And it was Henson who helped the Tar Heels put the game away in the second half. UNC (14-11, 3-7 ACC) led by as many as 10 midway through the second half, but N.C. State (14-12, 2-9 ACC) hit three consecutive buckets to cut the score to 56-52 with 6:18 remaining. A minute later, however, Henson converted a Drew pass into layup and made the ensuing free throw to push UNC’s lead back to seven. Drew took over from there, scoring the Tar Heel’s next seven points. He hit a 3-pointer with three seconds left on the shot clock and scored back-to-back layups to give the Tar Heels a 66-54 advantage. UNC then made 8 of 10 free throws over the final two minutes to seal the victory. Senior Deon Thompson

Weather forces CCC to shorten tourney TIMES STAFF REPORT Weather once against postponed many of the games scheduled to be played last Friday, resulting in a change for the Central Carolina Conference tournament. Games from Friday have been rescheduled for today, meaning the tournament will now be pared down to the top four seeds.

FOCUS From page 7 Sometimes it seems that what gets not only athletes, but people in general, into hot water, is the scattershot approach we take to getting the things we want. The ability to identify your goals, making a plan outlining how you’re going to achieve them, and setting that plan into motion is a critical key to success. This is often described as the sniper-versusshotgun tactic. You only hit one thing instead of a bunch of random ones, but it’s the one thing you were aiming for. This is a great definition of how NASCAR drivers and their teams work. They set their sights on their target, and they don’t allow themselves to get sidetracked. You don’t hear stories about them jetting off to Monaco with global superstars, because they don’t. Their numerous alleged girlfriends aren’t being interviewed on tabloid TV shows, because they don’t have any. They aren’t going out to bars and shooting themselves in the foot, because … that’s just dumb. A handful of them did

The girls’ semifinals will be played on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Thomasville, with the boys’ semifinals set for Thursday, also to be played at Thomasville..

go off their heads and got really wild during the off season, doing crazy stuff like going off and racing in other series; can you imagine? But for the most part, when the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was in the record books, they had some Christmas dinner and got to work on 2010. Mark Martin has never won the Daytona 500; that is his immediate target. If he had won the thing 25 times, he would still feel the same way. But so do the 42 other drivers on the track with him. So what if Martin didn’t know who was playing football on Feb. 7? His mind was on something much more important to him, that day and every day — stock car racing. For one of NASCAR’s most beloved drivers to publicly admit he wasn’t paying much attention to what was happening over in someone else’s world didn’t demonstrate an attention deficit, or a lack of interest. Instead, it was a glorious example of what absolute, immovable focus looks like, and that’s the best PR a sport could ever hope to have. Contact Elliott at cathyelliott@hotmail.com.

finished with 12 points, and freshman Dexter Strickland added 11. “Nobody had a great game statistically, but North Carolina had the most points,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. The difference in the game came down to rebounding, as both teams shot roughly the same — UNC made 41.7 percent from the floor and N.C. State 41.1 percent. Even though injuries sidelined three Tar Heel forwards — Tyler Zeller, Travis Wear and Davis — they still outrebounded the Wolfpack 44-32 and scored 17 points off 17 offensive rebounds. NCSU had 10 offensive rebounds but scored just seven points off of those, all in the first half. N.C. State’s big man Tracy Smith, who was double-teamed much of the game, finished with 20 points, while teammate Javier Gonzalez recorded 13. It was the first time this season the Tar Heels have held an ACC guard to fewer than 19 points. “I’m not sure when this program is ever really down,” N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe said. “They have struggled a little bit as Coach [Williams] said to me, but there’s a lot of pride here and a lot of tradition here. I’m just more disappointed that we didn’t come out in the second half, [and] we weren’t smart.”

DEFENDING THE BASKET Thomasville’s Tyshon Johnson tries to take a charge as Lexington’s Robbie Curry drives in Friday evening. The Jackets defeated the Bulldogs 70-52.

East Davidson’s Lady Golden Eagles kept it respectable Monday evening at league-leading Salisbury, dropping a 63-49 contest to the Hornets. East (18-4, 7-2) trailed by 10 at the half and as much as 24 in the fourth quarter, before stringing together a run to narrow the gap back down to 10 late. “We played them a lot better this time around,” said East coach Brian Eddinger. “At least we closed the gap.” Candace Fox paced the Golden Eagles with 15 points with Chelsea Turner adding 12. East has already locked up the No. 2 seed in the Central Carolina Conference tournament, but that does not mean they will take today’s game at Central Davidson lightly. “We want to make sure we play our style of basketball. We are going to come out with intensity and not take it easy,” said Eddinger.

GETS From page 7 The race took six hours and 10 minutes to complete because a huge pothole developed in the lower racing groove of turn one. The hole was patched and came undone and had to be patched again due to the unusually cold and rainy weather that settled over Daytona Beach for this year’s Speedweeks. Finishing third was Greg Biffle, who ran up front most of the day. He was followed by Clint Bowyer in a Richard Childress Chevrolet. David Reutimann was fifth, Martin Truex Jr. sixth, Kevin Harvick seventh, Matt Kenseth eighth, Carl Edwards ninth and Juan Pablo Montoya 10th. The race produced a ton of leaders, including Mark Martin, Earnhardt, Kasey Kahne, who wrecked at the end, Harvick, Kyle Busch, Bowyer, Kurt Busch, Elliott Sadler, who was also eliminated from contention by an accident, Truex, AJ Allmendinger, also involved in an accident, Biffle, and Scott Speed, David Ragan, Jeff Gordon and Joey Logano. The 21 different leaders was a Daytona 500 record, and McMurray established a record he

could care less about. He led the fewest numbers of laps — two — of any Daytona 500 winner. He wouldn’t care if he had only led one lap, the last one. Four-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson had a troublesome day, finishing 35th. Ageless Martin, everybody’s favorite, led the first lap from his pole position under a clear-blue sunny sky. The cars ran side by side, darting and bouncing around, before Brad Keselowski cut a tire in turn three and hit the wall, collecting Penske teammate Sam Hornish, Jr., and Regan Smith in the process. Gordon narrowly missed the smoke-filled accident. On the restart at lap 13, Martin was still in front with Earnhardt Jr., Montoya and Harvick in tow. The first three cars chose not to pit since it was so early in the race. Montoya led briefly before Earnhardt zipped past on the 14th lap. The cars were shuffling back and forth and Martin was bounced back to 23rd spot before he could get back in line. The crowd of nearly 200,000 fans was still on its feet at 20 laps as 26 cars ran nose-to-tail and side-by-side over the tricky two-and-a-halfmile track. Harvick took the lead at lap 21 and someone

was passing someone just about every lap behind him. At lap 30, Harvick led with Kurt Busch on his bumper. Sadler was third, Montoya fourth and Stewart fifth. Earnhardt was next, followed by Bowyer, Reutimann, Johnson, Kahne and Logano. Busch moved into the lead at lap 32. At lap 38, Montoya, Martin and Earnhardt had to pit since they stayed out on the first caution. At lap 42, Allmendinger, in a Petty Ford, had moved into second place ahead of Harvick. Kurt Busch continued to lead. Allmendinger passed Kurt Busch for the lead on lap 46, proving this Daytona 500 was, indeed, anyone’s race. Kurt Busch passed. Allmendinger back on lap 49. Once the leaders had made pit stops around 50 laps, the leader was Kurt Busch again with Allmendinger second. Johnson was third. Kahne was fourth, followed by Harvick, Earnhardt Jr., Montoya, Kyle Busch, Sadler and Bowyer. The second caution of the afternoon flew on lap 66 when Joe Nemechek’s Toyota jumped sideways between turns three and four. All the leaders headed for pit road. Kyle Busch slid through his pit which cost him some valuable time, as much

as six positions on the track. The race resumed on lap 70, it was Kurt Busch, Allmendinger, Kahne, Harvick, Johnson, Truex, Edwards, Biffle, Bowyer and Kyle Busch. Allmendinger quickly went to the front in his No. 43 Petty car, which made old-time race fans happy since it reminded them of the King’s (Richard Petty) heyday. Another caution flag, the third of the race, waved on lap 71 when Mike Bliss spun in turn two and hit the inside retaining wall. All the frontrunners pitted once again. Hamlin was the leader for the first time in the event when the race was green-flagged again. Kurt Busch was behind Hamlin. Busch was trailed by Biffle, Kyle Busch, Bowyer, Gordon, McMurray, Newman, Sadler and Menard. At the 100-lap halfway mark, Jeff Gordon took the lead with Bowyer close behind. Gordon’s move past Kyle Busch was the 25th official lead change of the race. Trailing Gordon and Bowyer were Biffle, Kyle Busch and Sadler, but Bowyer took the top spot a few laps later with Richard Childress teammate Harvick shoving him forward. At 110 laps of the 200-lap distance, it was still anybody’s race.

City Council looks to revitalize downtown BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

After looking at a budget that reflected a struggling economy, City Council members turned their attention to revitalizing Thomasville’s downtown at the City Council Retreat Saturday. The retreat, which was held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ball Park Road Community Center, focused in large part on businesses in the Chair City’s historic district, touching on the creation of a special tax district, a potential Privilege License and a comprehensive list of downtown businesses. “I strongly believe that the economic health of your downtown is a contributing factor to the economic health of your city,” said council member Scott Styers. “It’s our job to help that as a city government.” However, council agreed that the bulk of the work should fall on a special committee dedicated to downtown upkeep, perhaps as a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, rather than on the council itself. “We don’t think it’s the City’s responsibility to do it,” Styers said. “That’s not the appropriate use of taxpayers’ money.” Council members also acknowledged that city government should take a role in facilitating downtown development, including contributing a certain amount of money to the cause. One method of government involvement is to create a special tax district. While actually levying a property tax on the businesses in the historical district wouldn’t generate enough revenue to justify the measure — raising only $622.98 per one cent tax — Styers said the declared district would let the council apply different rules to those select businesses. “What it would allow you to do is treat the downtown historic district a little differently in order for them to create their own environment,” he said. Another use of the special tax district, and the tax system itself, would be to offer tax credits to those businesses that improved their property, said City Attorney Paul Mitchell. “It might not actu-

ally cause a whole lot of improvement,” he said. “But it would certainly be a way for the council to show that their hearts are in the right place.” Besides merely enhancing the appearance of downtown, the council also discussed ways to improve navigation for tourists, such as inserting signs around the Big TUESDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI
