Stimulus funds request for Yadkin Bridge rejected

Vendors sought for annual Spring Daze

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Raleigh officials announced Wednesday that the White House denied North Carolina’s stimulus grant funding request for the Interstate 85 Yadkin River bridge replacement project despite months of hard work by the state’s national, state and local government officials.

Even after multiple trips to Washington, D.C., by Davidson County Board of Commissioner Chairman Dr. Max Walser and Gov. Beverly Perdue, as well as the approval of all 14 North Carolina Representatives, the federal government decided to grant North Carolina only $10 million of the $300 million requested last summer. The remainder of the burden will fall to federal bonds and to the state.

“I am disappointed that the Administration did not fund the reconstruction of the I-85/Yadkin River Bridge,” said Sen. Kay Hagan. “I-85 is one of the Eastern Seaboard’s most important economic corridors. Upgrading our nation’s decaying infrastructure was one of the goals of the Recovery Act, but the Administration did not make this crucial project a priority. I have spoken with Administration officials and state leaders and look forward to working with them and our congressional delegation to determine the best way forward for this essential project.”

Gov. Perdue’s office selected the replacement of the I-85 bridge as North Carolina’s only submission to the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery

Creaseys opening home to community

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer LEXINGTON — Now that the Creasey family has finally settled into their new dream house, they are ready to welcome all those people who made it possible.

This Saturday and Sunday, the Creasey family is holding an open house for the public to see what Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designers accomplished in the span of a few short days.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, and all proceeds will benefit Carolina Cancer Services, formerly known as Davidson County Cancer Services, and Relay For Life. Tickets will be sold at the home on Allred Road in Lexington and all parking will be at Central Davidson High School on N.C. Highway 47. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and on Sunday from 12:30 -6:30 p.m.

“We love the new house, it’s beautiful,” Tricia Creasey, a teacher at Brown Middle School who is battling stage 4 colon cancer, said. “It’s exactly what we would’ve done if we could’ve built it.

“The show was very flattering. There’s definitely a lot more cleaning but we really needed the extra space.”

In the days leading up to the show’s premiere last month, the Creaseys had to live in secrecy and not let any details out of what the house looked like on the inside. With the show over, the Creaseys are hoping their new 3,100-square -oot home will help even more people who need it.

“We wanted to open our home to the community because, after all, they are the ones who built the house for us,” said Tricia.

“What better way than to support the fight against cancer and let people see the home.”

Tricia said her favorite part of the two-story log-cabin style house is the center where the living room, dining room and kitchen are all open and connected with a vaulted ceiling. In the middle of the room sits an old table made from remnants of their former home’s porch. Decorators gave the space a classic, southern-style flavor, complete with brand new appliances that match the design. Bookshelves line the wall, filled with momentos and Tricia’s collection of cookie jars. Slightly above the kitchen counter is a cookie jar of two girls holding an umbrella that was donated to Tricia from actress Reese Witherspoon.

“It’s somewhere we can all have family time together,” Tricia said. “That’s what I like about it.”

While winter weather still lingers, the city of Thomasville is eagerly preparing for warmer weather and the seventh annual Spring Daze.

The festival, which will take place May 1 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., has already begun its search for vendors. Area businesses are invited to buy one or more spaces on East Main Street and the adjacent parking lot until April 15.

“We’re always looking for new things if someone has something unique and different that they want to do,” said Carol Brown, chairman of the City Beautification Committee, which sponsors the event. “Everybody’s wanting to get out, especially now after the winter we’ve had. They’re ready for their gardens.”

Spring Daze started in 2004 as a gardening festival because Thomasville had no real spring event to bring people downtown.

“It was just a way to kick off spring,” said Tourism Director Mark Scott. “People could buy the plants that needed to be planted at that time of year. I think it filled a niche that Thomasville didn’t have.”

With free admission and a rain or shine date, the event has expanded since its origins of mostly food and plant vendors to include live music and stands boasting the works of various arts and craftsmen.

Other organizations set up informational booths, such as Relay For Life’s stand on cancer aware-

support other area businesses, but could lead to job creation as well.

“If this product improves, we can put people back to work in the community,” Suire said.

“That’s extremely important. Everybody plays sports in this area. If we can get people in this area who play sports to look at our product we can put people to work. It will take some time, but down the road the build up will help everybody in

the area.”

With the help of former HiToms stars turned models David Thomas and C.J. Beatty, those in attendance got a firsthand look at both the apparel fabrics and the line.

What separates H.T. Authentic Sportswear from other brand names is the selection, Suire said. H.T. Authentic offers 15 color choices, five apparel fabrics and five different lines, available to both men and women.

FROM PAGE 1 FUNDS From page 1

(TIGER) Discretionary Grants Program, which is funded nationwide by $1.5 billion of the nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Chrissy Pearson, spokesperson for Perdue, said the North Carolina Department of Transportation had a plan in place should the funding be denied, essentially having the state finance the remaining $150 million — the cost of the project’s first phase — through GARVEE bonds.

“Basically what that means is we are going to be financing it using proceeds from future federal revenues and paying it back over a 12-year term,” said Pat Ivey, a DOT division engineer out of Winston-Salem.

The first phase of the project focuses on widening the three-mile portion of I-85 from Long Ferry Road to the NC-150 interchange and includes the Yadkin bridge. The second phase — which will repair the section from NC-150 to I-85 Business and was included in the original $300 million estimate — has been put on hold since further funding has not been identified.

Walser said he was frustrated that the state would have to borrow money to fund the repairs of a national bridge.

“What is so upsetting to me about this is that this is not a Davidson County bridge,” Walser said. “This is not a Rowan County bridge. This is not a North Carolina bridge. This is an interstate bridge. Now we’ve got to pay back for this bridge that is not ours.”

But grant money or no grant money, Walser said the repairs were necessary given that the bridge had been declared dangerous by bridge safety officials in Washington.

“Everyone knows that it should be replaced and needs to be replaced,” Walser said. “It’s a tragedy waiting to happen.”

And with 70,000 vehicles in daily traffic and a projected increase to 144,000 vehicles in the next 20 years, the section of I-85 over the Yadkin River is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the state, according to the DOT. And not just by North Carolinians, either.

“The bridge is essential to making sure that traffic can continue,” Pearson said. “While Washington may not understand the importance of this corridor to interstate com-

merce and travel within North Carolina, the Perdue administration certainly does.”

Denied funding for the I-85 project shouldn’t affect Davidson County plans for Wilcox bridge, Walser said, though the process might be delayed if the I-85 bridge isn’t built in the projected three-year schedule. However, Walser said the setback in funds could place a tax burden on Davidson County residents as well as citizens statewide.

“To take state tax dollars to build 50 percent of that bridge I think is asking a little bit too much of our taxpaying citizens,” he said. “We’ve got other needs.”

Part of those needs include bridge repair projects in Davidson County and near Winston-Salem.

Thus the County will discuss the White House’s decision and the state’s plan carefully over the next week, Walser said.

“I’m just a pea in the pod, but I’ve worked pretty hard on this project,” he said. “It’s been a major undertaking, and now to find out we don’t get the money, it’s a major disappointment.”

Also together with Spring Daze, Thomasville Tourism will hold the first Chainsaw Sculpting Competition in hopes of capitalizing on festival crowds, which numbered between 1,500 and 2,000 last year despite the rain.

And the event certainly has a draw to bring people out no matter the weather, Brown said.

“It’s not a traveling circuit,” she said. “The unique thing about all of our vendors is they’re

considered local.

So you’re basically putting back into our local economy.”

Even though a few vendors travel from out of town — one woman from Virginia and others from Salisbury — Brown said the majority of businesses spring from Thomasville and the surrounding areas.

“They like the uniqueness of it because it’s not very commercialized, and it’s things that you can put in your garden,” she said.

In a community that loves to garden and work outdoors, a festival like Spring Daze fits right in with local culture, Scott said.

“It’s kind of folksy,” he said. “You come in, you interact with the vendors, you see all the different things from hanging baskets to bedding plants. I think we’re a community of people that likes to get out, work in our yard.”

It’s also a social event.

Scott said that local residents tend to thrive on the feeling of community Spring Daze embodies.

“I think people like getting out, being among the people, supporting events that groups put out there,” he said. “Spring Daze typifies the type of thing that Tourism wants to help promote — a good organization that tries to help the city and bring people downtown.”

BUSINESS

On with the new: Survey all PRS panels

MARILYN TAYLOR Syndicated Columnist

GOALS, ORGINS, TOP TEN, PATTERNS. These headers top the panels of the PaperRoom System™ work described in Choice Points. We‘ve discussed how to gather and record all the data, now what do we do with it?

Whether you use Rice’s self help book or engage a specially trained PRS coach , processing the information is key to breaking the code imbedded in your answers.

When you look at a handmade quilt, you initially see beautiful, yarn-dyed colors carefully displayed in pattern. Turn it over and you’ll see something else. Tiny stitches, lots of them. Hundreds of hand-tied knots. Some threaded areas that look irregular and uneven.

You see what’s beneath the attractive, colorful exterior and how it came to be. You might say the same thing about looking under the surface of the panels we work with in the PaperRoom.

The GOALS panel, for instance asks how we would like to see our lives unfolding in twenty years. I hear answers like “At the top of my game, by then�, or “Working part time in a job that really means something to me� or “Spending time with grandchildren�.

The answers, however varied, consistently reflect the authentic values of the speaker. They are quite simply, what matters most. Time can be spent chasing or attending to any number of things, but the entries on the GOALS pattern tell the real story.

Another part of each person’s story unfolds in the next panel, called ORIGINS. After listing the characteristics of the most influential people in your life, its time to consider afresh their present day influence.

With real choice as the goal, each of us has a

window here through which to quickly view the past and air out dated notions. Through the ‘ME’ quadrant we see both clutter and the confirmation of genuine attributes. Guided by our values, we can choose the behaviors to carry us forward.

Your story takes a heady turn with the TOP TEN – who doesn’t love to relive life’s most exciting and rewarding moments? Whether re-telling accounts of graduation ceremonies, significant career accomplishments, or fondly remembering a very special celebration, these memorable experiences reflect the moments that punctuate all the rest. And they do something else. Taken together, they describe the kinds of experiences you need to have from time to time to be your best self. To be on top of your game. To feel satisfied and fulfilled. Given that, it makes sense that the TOP TEN entries provide a metaphor for your ideal work environment.

In one his most famous stories, Thomas Wolfe asserted “you can’t go home again�. And certainly, you can’t go back to TOP TEN moments.

Not literally anyway.

But figuratively, you can go back every time you see a snapshot, look at the diploma or hold that greeting card in your hand again. In fact, we need to go there in some fashion if that type of experience made it to the TOP TEN. Such key natural selection takes the chosen words beyond the ‘it would be nice if ’ level and elevates them to the core need level.

So critical is our understanding and pursuit of core needs that an additional panel was developed to articulate them.

This adjunct panel entitled CORE NEEDS asks: “What are my core needs and how can I meet them in new ways?�

Part of the answer

may be found in the last panel(s), PATTERNS. Through a thorough review of lifetime jobs, one can see the kinds of environments that have enlivened you. An examination of various locations, employers, and types of tasks will readily remind us of where our needs were met, and where they were not. Often length of employment is an indicator. Places we didn’t hang around very long likely clashed headon with our core needs and values. Taking the EXIT is the ultimate values statement. And the story takes a new turn‌ Last week’s column ended with this comment about writing your PaperRoom story: “It’s a compelling collection of pertinent facts and information. It’s all about you. And its potential lessons abound.â€? To that I’d like to add that the gestalt, the full set of thoughts and experiences written on the grey and white panels, offer nothing short of a panoramic view that is your life. Taken in together, each stand alone panel also bends to shape and inform the others.

It’s an excellent way to tell your story.

Who doesn’t trust science now?

VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist

All of you deniers and flat-earthers who are exploiting the glacial temperatures and bizarre snowfall to mock global warming fears are missing the point: Weather isn’t the same as climate.

Shoddy evidence, bogus fears and a lack of transparency, on the other hand, are worth talking about. Yet the lack of skepticism by those who claim a sacred deference to scientific integrity proves that flat-earthers aren’t the only ones susceptible to some faith-based ideology.

Recently, Tim Wirth, who is the president of the U.N. Foundation and a former senator, said the manipulated evidence uncovered by the ClimateGate e-mail scandal was a mere “opening” to attack science that “has to be defended just like evolution has to be defended.”

Get it? Those unreasonable people who deny evolution — despite the overwhelming evidence — are the same brand of illiterate hoi polloi who won’t hand over their gas-powered lawn mowers on the word of an oracle weather model and haphazardly placed weather station.

Problems keep popping up for the true believer. Phil Jones, the former director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (and the only one held responsible for ClimateGate), admits that lots of his decades’ worth of data were sloppy or missing, i.e., not very scientific.

Jones, when recently asked whether the Medieval Warm Period was warmer than the current period, admitted that it had not been proved — and the importance of this can’t be stressed enough.

Is Jones just being careful now? Probably. Which is more than can be said for others.

The important Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claimed that Himalayan glaciers will melt by 2035. Turns out this was based on the conjecture of a single researcher. The 2007 IPCC report also warned that by 2020, global warming may reduce crop yields in Africa by 50 percent, though there was no real science to back the claim.

We all have heard the average environmentalist get a bit hysterical with tales of impending catastrophes as a way to motivate us. But these reports were edited by scientists. Can we count on them always to be honest and apolitical? The only way to know is transparency.

So let’s revisit the case of Kevin Trenberth, who is head of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s Climate Analysis Section.

This week on National Public Radio, he blamed the heavy snowfall, in part, on global warming, proving that even very smart experts can use weather to further the cause.

Trenberth, who has no problem taking a salary and nearly full funding from taxpayers, is not as keen on complying with Freedom of Information Act requests.

He, through NCAR lawyers — also paid for by you (and doing a wonderful job) — claims to be immune from such intrusions.

Then there is NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Chris Horner at the free market-advocating Competitive Enterprise Institute has been trying for years to have NASA release information about the inner workings of Goddard. As a government agency without any national security issues to worry about, it has an obligation to comply.

Shouldn’t NASA want to comply? After all, the science of climate tragedy is irrefutable — so obvious, in fact, that those who resist can be compared to Holocaust deniers.

It is true that most reasonable people concede there has been warming on the planet and that most concede they can’t possibly fully understand the underlying science. I certainly can’t, despite my best efforts.

The problem is that reasonable people also understand economic trade-offs. Many don’t like intrusive legislation. Others can sniff out fear-mongering for what it is.

Some even trust in humanity’s ability to adapt to any changes in climate trends.

In the end, though, the burden of proof is on the believers. And if they’re going to ask a nation — a world — to fundamentally alter its economy and ask citizens to alter their lifestyles, the believers’ credibility and evidence had better be unassailable.

The real reason for Obama’s unpopularity VIEWPOINT

STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist When a president suffers a sharp decline in popularity early in his term, it seems safe to conclude he has badly misjudged the mood of the electorate, pushed the wrong policies and set himself on the path to becoming a one-term president.

That, it’s widely agreed, is the sad tale of Barack Obama, who has managed to demoralize liberals while inspiring a wave of gloating among conservatives. A new CNN/Opinion Research poll finds that already, most Americans want to vote him out in 2012.

But both Democrats and Republicans are jumping the gun. They forget that this storyline also describes Ronald Reagan, who saw his approval rating sink over his first 12 months — yet rebounded to carry 49 states in his 1984 re-election bid. Bill Clinton was significantly less popular than Obama for most of his initial year, and we all know how that turned out.

George W. Bush likewise managed to hack off a lot of onetime supporters soon after taking office, and when his popularity soared eight months into his term, it was not because of anything he did but because of the 9/11 attacks.

He, too, won re-election.

American politicians and commentators are generally not afflicted by a deep knowledge or appreciation of history. If they were, they would

not waste their time laboring to explain something that requires little explanation.

They could simply state the obvious — new presidents invariably lose public esteem in the first year of their terms — and go on to try to explicate something truly mysterious, like Lady Gaga.

That’s the implication of research by Douglas Rivers, a professor of political science at Stanford University, scholar at the Hoover Institution and professional pollster. Though Obama rated the lowest of recent presidents at the end of his first year, Rivers says the pattern “is pretty much in line with what you would expect.” What we see is “more a continuing trend than an Obama phenomenon.”

That’s not to say Obama has made no mistakes. You can’t occupy the White House without disappointing a lot of people. Every president bungles some things, and every president pays a price.

His fiscal policy and health care plan, in particular, have energized the opposition and spawned public resentment. On the other hand, his grades on gay rights and immigration have actually improved — possibly because he has done less than expected on either issue.

There is no real evidence to suggest that the public finds Obama far more fallible or detestable than they usually find presidents at this stage.

On health care reform, it’s not clear what he could have done differently to appease a notoriously demanding citizenry. Surveys indicate people think that if his plan passes, they will get “worse care at a higher cost,” says Rivers. What do they expect if his plan doesn’t pass? “They’ll get worse care at a higher cost.”

I wish I could say Americans’ suspicion of health care reform shows a sensible appreciation of the limits

of government power and responsibility. But I suspect the real problem is they fear it will not guarantee them everything they want at someone else’s expense. Rivers notes that when you ask people about specific components of the plan, they turn out to be “fairly popular.”

If Americans distrust the government, they also take a dim view of the private sector, or parts of it. “Anything negative for insurance companies is popular,” says Rivers. Most people blame insurers for rising health care expenditures, even though insurance companies are one of the few constituencies with a powerful interest in reducing outlays.

This is not really quite the contradiction it may appear. People don’t mind when national health care costs rise. They do mind when their personal health care costs rise. When that happens, they blame health insurers. They may also blame the president, even if costs were rising before he arrived and threaten to keep rising long after he leaves.

It’s a mistake to think every political trend has deep meaning. Most of the disillusionment with Obama is the result of a natural process that tells nothing about the future. Every honeymoon ends, but the end of the honeymoon is not a harbinger of divorce.

The good news for Obama is that he has lost ground with the electorate mainly because of things he can’t control. The bad news for Obama is that making it up will require the help of things he also can’t control.

Tuskegee Airmen exhibit on display

OBITUARIES

Index TIMES STAFF REPORT

SPENCER – The N.C. Transportation Museum will honor Black History Month this February with a special program on the Tuskegee Airmen. Historian Leonard Hunter will speak about the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black military fighter pilots.

The program was originally scheduled for Feb. 6, but due to the threat of wintry weather, has been postponed to Feb. 13 Hunter is a member of North Carolina’s Wilson V. Eagleson Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen Inc. This chapter is part of the national Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., a group formed to honor the accomplishments and history of African Americans who participated in the Army Air Corps in WWII. Hunter will tell the story of the nearly 1,000 pilots who graduated flight training at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama between 1941 and 1946. The airmen were segregated on army bases and in the air, flying P-51’s with the tail painted vermillion. Their successes in the air, however, led other pilots to nickname the Tuskegee Airmen the “red tailed angels.”

Nearly half of those pilots saw action overseas, earning an outstanding record of service, while breaking down barriers of ignorance. It was said that the Tuskegee Airmen faced two battles, the war overseas and the battle against racism in Europe and at home.

Leonard Hunter’s program will take place Feb. 13 in the Bob Julian Roundhouse Orientation Room at 1 p.m. The program is free, but space is limited, so please call 704636-2889 ext. 232 for reservations.

The N.C. Transportation Museum, located in historic Spencer Shops, the former Southern Railway repair facility is located just five minutes off I-85 at Exit 79 in Spencer, N.C., and about an hour from Charlotte, Greensboro or WinstonSalem. The museum is part of the Division of Historic Sites and the N.C.

tvillesports@yahoo.com

Two familiar Central Carolina Conference foes will meet up in the finals on Friday night.

East Davidson overcame a slow start to defeat Thomasville 49-35 on Wednesday, and Salisbury dropped Central Davidson to set up a rematch of last year’s final.

Thomasville did not shoot the ball well to start the game, but neither did the Golden Eagles. THS was just a bit better in its offensive effort in the first quarter, though, taking an 11-9 edge in after eight minutes.

East would regain the lead 49 seconds into the second quarter, as Candace Fox stole the ball away and drove in for the layup and Taylor Alexander made a free throw.

Alexis Lambert made a free throw for herself to tie the score, and Thomasville got a bonus with Haley Grimsley going to the bench with her third foul for East.

Her absence was no issue for the Golden Eagles. Chelsea Turner filled the shoes of her teammate, finishing off the half in style to help EDHS build a 25-17 halftime lead.

She was fearless on the offensive glass, taking missed shots by teammates and turning them into points for herself. She got a 3point play the hard way moments after Fox had rattled home a 3 from the top.

Lambert missed a shot at the other end but cleaned up her unfinished business to halt a 6-0 East run, but Turner used her strength again underneath to add on to the lead. She tipped the ball out after a missed shot to reset the offense, then was rewarded with another deuce with 24 seconds left.

Thomasville trailed by just 10 at the end of three quarters, but East would leave no doubt what the outcome would be in the fourth.

With its shot not falling, the Eagles got out and ran, and ran and ran.

Grimsley was the leader of the pack breaking away for several easy layups. Her deuce at the 5:44 mark put East ahead by 14, and the Golden Eagles were well on their way to a tourney final showdown with Salisbury.

Turner finished with 16 points to lead East.

Golden Eagles whip CDHS

Yellow Jackets blow out Heels in 68-51 rout

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor SOUTHMONT — Twenty-four hours can make all the difference in the world.

One night after a disappointing effort at Salisbury, the East Davidson Golden Eagles traveled to Central Davidson, doing everything it did wrong against the Hornets, right on Tuesday night, demolishing the Spartans 90-61.

Taylor Warren scored 22 points and Keaton Hawks 18, as the Golden Eagles got after every loose ball and hit the offensive glass.

A 32-point second quarter set the table for the impressive blowout.

“Tonight we battled on the floor and got a bunch of offensive rebounds, and all of that stuff leads to us shooting the ball extremely well,” said East coach Matt Jacobs. “If we come out like that then my job is easy.”

The game was tied at 1313 in the first quarter, but East closed on a 6-0 run to build a 19-13 lead.

Hawks and his senior leadership took over in the second quarter — one that would pretty much decide the game. The guard connected for 15 of his points in the frame, drilling a trio of 3-pointers. When his shots were not falling, he was quick to follow his shot and get the offensive rebound.

“When we have a senior Jacobs like him focused like that and making all the little plays, it filters down,” said Jacobs.

The game was called tight by the officiating crew, and that immediately gave the advantage to the deeper Eagles. Two of Central’s starters had four fouls before intermission, and one other had three fouls.

By the time the game reached halftime, East was up 52-32 and were in complete control.

Warren and Hawks opened the third quarter with 3s after a Blake Dodd basket, pushing the lead out to 60-32. Jacobs cleared his bench to not show the Spartans up, but the lead continued to increase and Senior Night became quite embarrassing for Central. East went up 72-37 with 2:26 left in the third quarter and eased its way home.

It was just the type of showing East needed heading into the Central Carolina Conference tournament that begins today.

The Golden Eagles will have a tough task facing second-seeded Salisbury, but at least they have some momentum built and have confidence in their game.

“Last night (Monday) I was no the verge of depression, but today was just the opposite,” Jacobs said. “Momentum is huge and I will take what we had today.”

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun ATLANTA — For the second time in roughly a month, the North Carolina Tar Heels found themselves in a 20-point hole before halftime against Georgia Tech.

This time, having endured a rough month by any standard, the Tar Heels could do little to dig their way out.

The first time around, a UNC team still harboring hope for a solid season came all the way back to take a brief lead before losing.

But the Tar Heels made no such comeback bid Tuesday night, falling 68-51 at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

Down by 41-21 at halftime, UNC trailed by as many as 28 points in the second half and never got closer than 16. A late flourish helped the Tar Heels avoid the most lopsided loss in Coach Roy Williams’ tenure but couldn’t prevent the lowest offensive output under Williams, falling short of the 54-point effort a week ago against Duke.

The damage was done in the first half, when the Tar Heels established two other lows for the Williams era — 21 points on 22.6percent shooting.

SPORTS ROUT From page 7 “I’m at a loss,” Williams said. “I’m totally shocked, totally stunned by our performance in the first half. Mentally and physically, we were somewhere but it wasn’t here for the basketball game.”

The loss assures that UNC (14-12, 3-8 ACC) won’t finish over .500 in the ACC for the first time since 2004, though the Tar Heels surely would take that season’s 8-8 finish. Georgia Tech (18-8, 6-6), losers of three of four games entering Tuesday, swept a pair of regular season games against UNC for the first time since 1996.

The Tar Heels were 125 and ranked No. 12 in the nation entering the first meeting; they’ve lost seven of nine games since, the lone victories coming at the expense of last-place N.C. State.

Freshman big man Derrick Favors paced four Yellow Jackets with 13 points, including 11 in the first half. UNC senior Deon Thompson led all scorers with 17 points, and freshman John Henson had 11 points and 10 rebounds in his second start.

When the teams met on Jan. 13, point guard Iman Shumpert scored 30 points to lead the Jackets to a 73-71 victory but not before UNC erased a 20-point deficit behind a career game from sophomore Will Graves.

“He’s not Superman; he can’t do it every night,” UNC point guard Larry Drew II said. “You can’t depend on just one person to carry it on his shoulders.”

Neither Graves nor Shumpert made much of a mark Tuesday, with Shumpert held scoreless and with Graves’ lone first-half basket (he finished with six points) actually signaling the

beginning of the end for UNC. The Tar Heels had their typical difficulties scoring and hanging onto the ball in the early going, but a spirited defensive effort helped them hang around.

Eventually, though, UNC’s defense started to struggle right along with its offense, and Georgia Tech took command.

After Graves drilled a 3-pointer and Drew hit a free throw at the 10:59 mark to bring the Tar Heels within 17-15, the rest of the half was a disaster.

UNC hit just two more field goals, including 1of-14 shooting with six turnovers during Georgia Tech’s 21-3 run over the next eight minutes for a 38-18 lead.

“The minute a team makes a run on us, if we’re not able to respond to that run, we kind of just shut down,” said Drew, who had six of his eight turnovers in the first half. “After one [bad] thing happens, instead of responding with a good play, it has a

snowball effect.

“It just keeps happening and keeps happening and keeps happening, and other teams capitalize on that.”

All told, the Tar Heels turned it over 15 times before halftime.

Fouls further hampered the Heels. Thompson paced UNC with eight first-half points despite three fouls, and Dexter Strickland was whistled for three fouls as well.

With the fouls, and with Ed Davis, Travis Wear and Tyler Zeller out with injuries (though Zeller was in uniform for the first time in more than a month), Jordan High School product Justin Watts played three minutes in the first half and four total. He had totaled four minutes in ACC play.

“Somehow, some way I’ve got to get us going better than we were tonight,” Williams said.

“We had a nice win Saturday and I thought we would come out and play well, but we didn’t.”

Lady Panthers win MPC TIMES STAFF REPORT Playing at the 3-A level in the MidPiedmont Conference after realignment, the Ledford Lady Panthers found it to be no problem, winning the regular season championship outright with a 63-54 win over Asheboro on Monday.

Ledford finished with a 8-1 league mark, winning its last seven games.

Chelsea Freeman scored a team-high 17 points for the Lady Panthers and Carman Pericozzi chipped in 12 points in the winning effort.

The Panthers took the lead in the first quarter and never relinquished it.

Asheboro closed to within 21-20 in the second quarter, but a quick six points gave Ledford the cushion they needed.

In the boys’ game, Ledford suffered a crushing defeat with Asheboro’s Antonio Thomas hitting a shot at the buzzer to defeat the Panthers, 81-80.

Dylan Smith scored 20 points for Ledford while Will Essick netted 19 points and Steven Fuquay 17.

The Mid-Piedmont Conference tournament began on Wednesday with the finals set for Friday at Asheboro.

Diamond Heels have new faces

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina junior Colin Bates admitted it was a little weird walking into the locker room for the first time this fall and not seeing firstround MLB draft picks Dustin Ackley and Alex White, as well as draftees Kyle Seager, Mark Fleury, Adam Warren and Brian Moran.

But with the Tar Heels’ season set to start Friday against George Washington (3 p.m.) at Boshamer Stadium, Bates also said he has gotten over that weirdness.

“There’s no sense in missing them,” Bates said Monday. “We would only be hurting ourselves if we were worrying about what we had and what we don’t have anymore.”

What the Tar Heels do have are 17 new players and lots of question marks. UNC is coming off a fourth straight trip to the College World Series and is ranked No. 20 in Baseball America’s preseason poll, but the Tar Heels will have a lot of new faces in the lineup.

“We do have some unknowns just because about half of our team is new,” UNC coach Mike Fox said. “Probably the biggest unknown for us is how well we’re going to swing the bat and who’s coming out of the bullpen for us.”

Ackley, the No. 2 overall pick, and Seager, a third-round pick, accounted for much of the Tar Heels’ offensive production last season as they combined for 214 hits, 135 RBIs and 28 of

UNC’s 69 home runs.

The Tar Heels return four starters — left fielder Ben Bunting (.336), center fielder Mike Cavasinni (.272), shortstop Ryan Graepel (.283) and Levi Michael (.296), who will be making the move from second to third base.

To fill in the holes, highly touted freshman Brian Goodwin is projected to start in right field and freshman Tommy Coyle is expected to play second. At first base, junior college transfer Dillon Hazlett and sophomore Matt Harrison will be competing for playing time, while sophomore Jacob Stalling and junior college transfer Jesse Wierzbicki will be vying at catcher. “[Ackley’s] a once-ina-lifetime player that you’re never, ever going to replace,” Fox said.

“And so we’re going to have to have guys all up and down our lineup, one through nine, try to somehow help with all that production that we lost.”

On the mound, the Tar Heels lost two of their weekend starters in White and Warren but return junior righthander Matt Harvey (7-2), who is now the No. 1 pitcher.

Redshirt junior Colin Bates is slated as the No. 2 weekend starter after coming out of the bullpen in 2009. Former midweek starter Patrick Johnson will slide into the weekend starting rotation.

In the bullpen, junior Nate Striz is the Tar Heels’ most experienced reliever with 26 appearances a year ago, but Fox said UNC will be relying heavily on its nine new

‘Hoppers Moore awarded TIMES STAFF REPORT The Joseph M. Bryan Foundation announced last Thursday that Donald Moore, President and General Manager of the Greensboro Grasshoppers, earned its 2010 Unsung Community Hero Award.

The Bryan Foundation awards this honor annually in recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the community, but whose good works are not widely recognized.

“I am extremely humbled to have been selected from amongst my peers for this prestigious distinction,” said Moore.

“As a life-long resident of Greensboro, I have tremendous passion for this community and the potential that it holds.”

Carole Bruce, a member of the board of directors of the Bryan Foundation, presented the award to Moore during the Bryan Foundation’s annual luncheon and meeting, with his family and staff present.

As part of the award, the Bryan Foundation will give $25,000 to the Atlantic Coast Conference in Moore’s honor to be used on behalf of the ACC Baseball Tourna-

ment that will be hosted in May at NewBridge Bank Park.

Under his leadership, the Hoppers have welcomed over 2.1 million fans in their first five seasons, becoming the only Class A team in the history of Minor League Baseball to draw over 400,000 fans and grow its attendance four straight years in a new ballpark.

The Grasshoppers were the proud recipients of the South Atlantic League’s Club Merit Award four of the past five years, with Moore garnering additional accolades as the league’s General Manager of the Year Award in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Baseball America honored Moore and the Grasshoppers with the prestigious Bob Freitas Award for the Single-A level in 2008.

Moore has created several college scholarship funds, including the Bill Lee Memorial Scholarship and the Charlie Harville Memorial Scholarship. He currently sits on the board of The Bryan Family YMCA, The Guilford County Sports Hall of Fame, Downtown Greensboro, Inc., and is President-Elect of the Greensboro Sports Council.

pitchers.

“We’re going to run some freshmen out of the bullpen,” Fox said.

“We’re going to have to run them out there and see how they do.”

Another change is that Fox will not be coaching at third base for the first time in 27 years. Instead, assistant coach Scott Jackson will take over third base duties, while Fox will be stationed in the dugout. Fox said it was a move he has considered for the past year or two, but there is not one specific reason for the switch.

“I felt a little safer there last year with that helmet on, but I am not as quick as I used to be — but I don’t know if I’ll be any safer in the dugout or not,” Fox said. “I will do my part in the dugout as I need to, and it may change halfway through the year — I don’t know. … Coach Jackson knows our team and our players just as much as I do, and he will do a good job over there.”

Fox said the start of the season will be a work in progress, as the lineup may change daily and he really does not know what to expect from his young team.

“It’s got the potential to be a really difficult season, but to be honest with you, we really don’t know what to expect,” Graepel said. “We could just keep rolling like the way we have been in the past or things could be a little bit different, but who knows? [There are] a lot of question marks this year, but that’s what kind of makes it exciting.”

Solving Problems One Step at a Time

Playing With Math Do you enjoy math? Some kids think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary, but it really can be fun.

As with anything else, such as sports, the better you are at math, the more fun it is. You can become better by practicing.

Math becomes easier when you learn to break down problems into smaller pieces.

To learn more, The Mini Page talked with Greg Tang, author of several Keeping it simple math books for kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The secret to being smart is taking Taking it easy something complicated and breaking it â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grapes apart,â&#x20AC;? Greg Tang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is knowing of Mathâ&#x20AC;? uses how to break things into the groups puzzles to teach that make the most sense.â&#x20AC;? kids how to For example, when you read, you see patterns in nature and probably break things down into to add items simple parts without even thinking quickly. about it. When you sound out a word, for example, you are breaking it into different parts.

People who can solve one kind of Most of us think we have to picture problem are probably good at solving the numbers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with. But other kinds of problems. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to picture big numbers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned how to break why math problems can seem scary. things down into You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to keep big numbers simple pieces. They in your head. The main trick is to can also see patterns. break down big numbers into simpler They can see how ones. When you do that, hard problems things fit together. become easier. jacket art Š 2001 Harry Briggs, published by Scholastic

Cooking by the numbers Greg said doing math is like being a good cook. When you are learning how to cook, you need to follow the recipes.

But once you learn the basics, you can start improvising, or trying new things.

Most good cooks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow recipes exactly. They get creative. They might put extra walnuts in the chocolate chip cookies. Or they might add peanut butter pieces instead.

If you followed every recipe exactly, you might get bored. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same with math. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning, you probably need to follow the formulas.

But once you get going, you can spot connections between different ideas.

Solving a problem can be exciting!

Dividing the Problems One bite at a time Good problem-solvers can find answers to problems theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen before. If you can figure out how to solve problems in one area, you can probably figure out how to solve problems in other areas.

Remember, the key is to break problems into smaller parts.

For example, if you have to clean your room, it might look as if you need a bulldozer to do the job.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier if you tackle one thing at a time. First off, try making your bed. See, your room probably LOOKS CLEANER ALREADY .OW PICK UP your dirty clothes. Wow!

What is 5 x 66?

An easy thing to do is to multiply 66 by 10 and then cut it in half. (Five is half of 10.) Half of 660 is 330.

Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A group of 5 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find with ease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half of 10 is just a breeze.â&#x20AC;?

Playing With Numbers Starting with a fun trick

Making it easy on yourself

Once you understand how numbers work, you can play all sorts of games with them.

For example, you can learn to QUICKLY MULTIPLY TWO DIGIT NUMBERS by 11. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with:

x 11 79 What do you notice about the middle number?

Try: 81 x 11 891 Try:

x 11 8 What is the same about the middle number in each answer?

In all these answers, we added together the two original numbers.

The sum is now in the middle of the original number. &OR EXAMPLE TAKE .INE IS THE MIDDLE NUMBER OF the answer, 79 )T WENT RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE AND THE

These fun tricks can help you multiply by 11. The reason they work is that you are breaking the problem into smaller steps.

Another way to multiply by 11 is by remembering that when you are multiplying by 11, you are really multiplying by 10, then multiplying by 1. Then you add the answers together.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to picture how to multiply by 10. You just add 0 at the end.

For example: X X

X

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even easier to multiply by 1.

You just repeat the number.

For example: 1x3=3 1 x 1,555 = 1,555 Since 11 is 10 plus 1, the problem is easy to picture.

For example: 810 81 81 81 x 10 x 1 891 810 81 On paper, it might have looked like: 81 x 11 81 (1 x 81 = 81) 810 (10 x 81 = 810) 891 Practice multiplying different numbers by 11. Does it get easier each time you do a new problem?

The Mini Page thanks Greg Tang, author and teacher of teachers, for help with this issue.

An adjustment Sometimes when working with 11s, you will need to make an adjustment. If the sum of the digits in the number you are multiplying is greater than 9, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to regroup, or carry the number over.

For example, if we use our trick for the problem 11 x 66, we might think THE ANSWER IS OR SINCE )T TURNS OUT THAT THIS answer is incorrect, and we need to make an adjustment.

To get the right answer, we simply ADD THE TO THE SO BECOMES X Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another example.

11 x 79 = ?

3INCE WE MIGHT think the answer is 7 16 9. But if we add the 1 to the 7, we get 869, so 11 x 79 = 869!

12 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, February 18, 2010

FROM PAGE 1 HOMNE From page 1 can’t help but smile when he goes out into the backyard. A new grill awaits, and all William needs is some warmer weather to break in his toy.

“For the first few days we were here we kept finding news things about the house,” said William.

“It’s so amazing and is beginning to feel like home.”

All three children — Brittany, 13, and 5-year-old twins Makayla and Makenzie — are settling into their new rooms. Brittany’s room looks like an apartment in Paris where the view is of the Eiffel Tower and the city skyline. When the windows are closed, the entire room is a picture of Paris. There also is a giant chair shaped like the letter B that was built from sheet metal at Rich-

ard Childress Racing. Makayla and Makenzie’s rooms are adjoining with a sliding door through the middle, but the two sides are independent of each other and fit each girl’s tastes.

Meanwhile, Tricia continues to fight her cancer. On Feb. 7, Tricia said she had another CT scan that showed no signs of cancer, earning her a well-deserved break from chemotherapy treatments. In about two months, Tricia will have another CT scan and will “go from there.”

“I will have some maintenance chemotherapy but we don’t what it is yet,” Tricia said. “I’m really excited to have some time off from the chemo. It can be rough at times.”

Carolina Cancer Services Executive Director Caron Myers said every penny that is generated from the open house will go towards helping the more than 900 people

in the area who also are actively battling the deadly disease.

“This is going to be a phenomenal event,” said Myers. “The Creaseys are going through their own battle with cancer. Tricia told me the one thing she wanted to come out of this is to make people more aware of the signs and symptoms of cancer. Early intervention is everything.”

Myers also said that on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. there will be a “Spin for Life” fundraiser and a bone marrow registry for Thomasville native Kate Thornton, a little girl fighting leukemia, at the Forum at 280 North Talbert Boulevard in Lexington.

For more information, call Carolina Cancer Services at 249-7265.
