CIS helping children in and out of classroom

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

Judy Younts, executive director of Communities In Schools of Thomasville, has a way of getting her point across.

At this month’s Thomasville City Schools Board of Education meeting, Younts addressed those in attendance by holding up a pair of shoes with the soles so worn there was barely anything left. A few moments later, Younts spoke of a little girl who had lost her backpack and had no means of replacing it.

These are just a few examples of what challenges CIS faces on a daily basis. At the end of the day, the non-profit’s goal is to help as many children as it possibly can,

‘A child that grows up in a community that cares will go back and care about that community.’

— Judy Younts Thomasville CIS Director both in the classroom and out.

By showing children that the community around them cares and is supportive, the end result will be a person who gives back.

“Our mission in a nutshell is we want to create tax payers, not tax takers,” Younts said. “That basically means we want to keep

our children in school, we want to educate them and we want them to graduate. A child that grows up in a community that cares will go back and care about that community.”

During Younts’ presentation, she outlined all the different ways someone can lend a hand to a child in need. Whether it’s through mentoring, tutoring, reading or simply going and having lunch with a student, volunteering 30 minutes to an hour a week can make a huge difference.

“One of our biggest components is the volunteer piece,” said Younts. “A person can make such a difference in a child’s

CHURCH STREET SCHOOL — A RETROSPECTIVE

Fire, finances disable former school

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Editor’s note: The following is the second in a threepart series on Church Street School.

Even after almost 57 years, Shirley Jones-Byrd still visits Church Street School to gaze at the hauntingly beautiful shell of the building whose halls she use to walk, whose classrooms she used to visit. Black stains char the red brick facade of the proud building, reminiscent of the fire that hollowed it out in July 2000.

“I often go back, from time to time, and just sit on the bank there,” said Jones-Byrd, who attended the school from 1943 to 1953.

“When the school burned, it seemed as though some of your life, some of your dreams, were also burned, and that you needed to keep going and keep looking back and keep pushing yourself to just make sure that the good memories of Church Street School never died.”

Street in 1869 as the first school for black children.

After moving to another, bigger building on Church Street, the school eventually moved to an even larger building on Jasper Street, where it currently still

stands.

Even though the school was closed in 1982 as part of Thomasville School Board’s reorganization project, community groups still used the building from time to time, and the property owner, the

Rev. W.E. Banks, had plans to convert the facility into low-income housing.

But when a fatal fire in 2000 ravaged the building, destroying all but the brick

Sunday marked the warmest day in more than a month, coming in with a high of 62 degrees, and Saturday had been the warmest of the month. Before that, the warmest day dates back to Jan. 28 with a high of 64.

“The past three days have been practically a heat wave

in comparison to the rest of the month,” Boyles said.

Part of the reason for the dramatic cold lies in the combination of El Nino and the Arctic Oscillation.

El Nino is a storm that causes much warmer weather in the Tropical Pacific, which in turn causes a shift in the jet stream

Thomasville Medical Center is lifting restrictions on visitors 18 years and under for the first time in nearly six months as the number of H1N1 cases in the area continue declining.

Novant Health, TMC’s parent company, announced on Monday that all its facilities, including Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospital in WinstonSalem, are lifting the restrictions that temporarily prohibited children 18 and under from visiting its hospitals amidst the H1N1 flu outbreak last fall. Visiting restrictions had been in place since September.

“We did it across the whole corporation,” Jane wilder, TMC’s director of community relations, said. “We made the collective decision to lift all the visitor restrictions.”

The decision to remove the restrictions was based on three factors — a sustained low level of H1N1 cases in the community, a high rate of vaccinations among the pediatric population and a large number of children have had the virus since last April.

“We’re seeing the number of people reporting with flu-like symptoms has leveled off,” said Wilder. “People seem to be doing well with good hand washing procedures and things of that nature and we know this has been an inconvenience people in terms of visitations.

We appreciate everyone working with us and we figured it was time to lift [the restrictions].”

Novant officials said that visitor restrictions could be reinstated in the event there is a resurgence in the spread of the H1N1 virus. Wilder said H1N1 is different from other flu strains because it’s not seasonal, forcing TMC to take extra precautions in order to prevent any further spread of the virus. Imposing the restrictions helped prevent the virus from further spreading to those most vulnerable.

“That was one of the reasons we waited was to see if there was going to be

2010 Eat Local Challenge

BY AMY-LYNN ALBERTSON Special to the Times

COURTESY PHOTO

Above is a photo of Church Street School’s Class of 1949.

SCHOOL From page 1 exoskeleton, it cost the town more than just the utility of the building.

Many of the school’s old students felt the blow on a personal level. “I felt tears coming to my eyes,� said John Welborn, a 1954 graduate, who watched smoke curl off the school from the window of Thomasville Furniture on Davidson Street. “So many memories in that building.�

Alum of Church Street School were used to changes. The school moved two times since its original construction in 1869, and the students opted to change colors and mascots sometime in the late ‘60s, early ‘70s, Welborn says. When he attended the school, the Church Street School yellow jackets sported colors of blue and gold, but they later changed to the green and white green hornets.

The school also shifted with the times during integration, changing from an all-black k-12 school to an all-black elementary in 1964 and then again to an integrated elementary school in 1969. “When it was integrated it had a little more to offer than Church Street School had,� said Thomas Siler, who graduated in 1949 but had relatives attending the school postintegration. “They had a little better opportunities than we had.�

However, integration also weakened the role

Church Street School played in the black community, Siler says. “The background of most black children started at Church Street School,� he said. “It’s sort of the roots and background and beginning of all the good stuff we have today. As time went on with integration and all that stuff, it changed.�

But that didn’t make the school any less important to those who had already moved on from its classrooms. “When I heard about it, it was kind of like losing a member of my family,�

‘When I heard about it [the fire], it was kind of like losing a member of my family.’ — Shirley Jones-Byrd

Jones-Byrd said. “It was very, very heartbreaking because it was just a part of my moving on.�

For some, Church Street School has started to mean even more as time passed, after looking back at old experiences and life lessons. “It means a heck of a lot now,� Welborn said. “It’s a hard thing to see it sitting down there like that.�

Many former students and community members have tried to do something with the remaining

shell, including starting a nursery for the elderly and Banks’ plan for lowincome housing. But time and time again, financial or logistical barriers buried each attempt. “I think it’s finances, pure and simple,� said City Manager Kelly Craver. “It’s more and more difficult to borrow money for projects of this nature.

It’s suffered the same fate as many other projects in the private sector.�

But Craver said a new attempt at renovating Church Street School has emerged, spearheaded by the current property owner James Moses, of Norfolk, Va. Moses and a developer, Major Sanders, plan to redevelop the school as multi-unit housing for the elderly, complete with an on-site pharmacy, recreational facility and outdoor theater.

As with past developers, Craver said Moses and Sanders hope to preserve the school’s facade and incorporate the new structure within.

And after about 30 years of sitting vacant, Church Street School alum hope to see something come of the decrepit building, Jones-Byrd said. “I would love to see something built in the same spot,� she said, “just where it could continue to be building education and spreading the good news throughout the community that Church Street School still survives.�

Look for part three of this series in Thursday’s edition of the Times.

I am challenging Davidson County residents to eat 80 percent local in 2010.

Your definition of local can be as wide or narrow as you want it to be.

Some people stick with grown in the USA, while others may go to grown within a 100-mile radius of Davidson County. For the next six months, beginning March 1, I am going to try to eat only North Carolinagrown products. So 80 percent (I need coffee and chocolate) of the foods I buy need to be grown right here in the “Tar-Heel� state.

North Carolina has the luxury of being able to grow produce year round from the mountains to the coast. You can buy NC seafood, and locally grown meats, cheese and milk. Flour and corn is also milled in North Carolina. I’ve started a blog about my Eat Local challenge so you can follow me and see how I’m doing and let me know how you plan to meet this challenge at http:// www.eatlocaldavidsoncounty.wordpress.com One way to meet my Eat Local Challenge is join a CSA. Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members who pay the farmer an annual membership fee to cover the production costs of the farm. In turn, members receive a weekly share of the harvest during the local growing season. Three CSA’s have started in Davidson County, Shoaf Plantation in Tyro, Cid Farm in Silver Valley, and Ledford Growers in the Ledford area. You can go to www.localharvest.org or call your

local Extension center to find a CSA near you.

In May our local farmers markets (Lexington Farmers Market, and Thomasville Farmers Market) will open for the 2010 season, making it even easier to meet the Eat Local Challenge. When you buy direct from local farmers, your dollars stay within your community, and strengthen the local economy. More than 90¢ of every dollar you spend goes to the farmer, thus preserving farming as a livelihood and farmland. This is important because as mergers in the food industry have increased, the portion of your food dollar paid to farmers has decreased.

While produce that is purchased in the supermarket or a big-box store has been in transit or cold-stored for days or weeks, produce that you purchase at your local farmer’s market has often been picked within 24 hours of your purchase.

This freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional value which declines with time. In addition, locally grown fruit does not have to be “rugged� or to stand up to the rigors of shipping which means much more flavor.

Buying local food also keeps you in touch with the seasons. By eating with the seasons, you are eating foods when they are at their peak taste, are the most abundant, and the least expensive.

When you shop at the farmers market you can find out fascinating details about where

HEALTH

Animal contact yields better health, less stress VIEWPOINT

DR. DAVID LIPSCHTIZ Syndicated Columnist

One of the worst parts of advancing age is the gradual loss of contact with those we love. As baby boomers, many of us first lose our children to college, then to spouses and ultimately to grandchildren.

As we age further, some of us will become frail, dependent on others for transportation and might need help with the simple tasks of daily life. One thing leads to another, and it becomes increasingly

difficult to avoid loneliness and isolation. For many -- myself included -- it is vitally important to fill the empty nest with the unconditional love of a pet.

My wife and I are already empty nesters, and our beautiful French bulldog, Iggy Pup, has moved squarely to the center of our household. Iggy is a constant companion. We walk him, feed him, cuddle him and endlessly dote all over him. When I go on vacation, I miss Iggy almost as much as I miss my children! He is truly an integral part of my life. I have no doubt that Iggy’s unconditional love and the affection I shower on him assure me a better, less stressed and more healthful life.

The link between pets and health promotion is very clear. Many research studies show that contact with animals powerfully assists in improving the health of

nursing home patients and hastens the recovery of hospitalized patients.

Studies on individuals of all ages clearly show that 15 minutes of direct contact with a pet reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, slows heart rate, improves sleep and reduces the risk of depression.

For men and women, interacting with a pet fosters nurturing, rapport, socialization, entertainment and exercise. Recent studies show that people who walk with dogs exercise more consistently and experience bigger fitness results than those who walk with a two-legged friend. Dogs are more reliable, walk faster and can often be more convincing enthusiasts for the regular walk.

But the most important health benefit of a pet’s companionship is the physical contact and touch. Contact with a dog or a cat is safe, sooth-

ing and nonthreatening.

One stroke of a cat’s back or the touch of a cold puppy nose, and out of nowhere, unhappy patients smile, unwind and feel a deep sense of gratitude and contentment.

Pets of all kinds are particularly important to older people who live alone or who reside in nursing homes. Published in Occupational Therapy International, recent research showed that contact with pets and the resulting companionship and sensory stimulation improved the ability of nursing home residents to socialize while decreasing stress, anger and disruptive behavior. In addition, pet therapy decreased the need for sedatives or medications to prevent agitation. Self-esteem, patient independence and increased responsibility were also noted.

Occupational and physical therapists found that pet therapy had many

physical benefits for patients. Muscle strength and range of movement improved, and pain management was more successful. Pets also reduced blood pressure and slowed heart rate.

As the healthful benefits of pets become more clear, many apartments, condominiums and assisted-living facilities are accepting animals. And the demand for “petfriendly” establishments will only grow as the baby boomer generation marches past 65. Luckily, most long-term care facilities, hospitals and health clinics already have programs in place for animal-assisted therapy. There are training programs available to teach volunteers how to facilitate interactions between patients and a pet. Individuals who are interested can find local community programs, often through animaltraining associations, to certify their pets

as therapy animals.

For adults who volunteer in pet-therapy programs, the health benefits are doubly strong! Not only do you get to care for and interact with your animal, but you also get the fulfillment of seeing others benefit from your pet.

If you are older and live alone, I would seriously consider getting a pet. Whether it’s a dog, cat, bird or even an iguana, a pet can be an amazing addition to your life. The unconditional love we give and receive from a pet doesn’t only improve health, but it also fulfills a critical need in our lives.

Veal sees bright future for Lexington Memorial Hospital TIMES STAFF REPORT

With only a few weeks under his belt as Vice President of Patient Care Services at Lexington Memorial, Johnny Veal has been busy meeting the staff and conducting a preliminary assessment of areas of opportunity for improvement.

His initial reaction is that Lexington Memorial is blessed with a staff that is “incredibly dedicated,” and that the hospital has both the potential and the opportunity to be one of the best community hospitals in the state and possibly the nation.

“Lexington Memorial has the right vision in place and great potential for growth,” he said.

“There are advantages to being small in that the hospital is nimble and can move quickly as it relates to achieving growth and improvement goals.”

A native Texan, Veal moved to North Carolina in 1994 to accept a senior nursing position with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

At the time he accepted the position at Lexington Memorial, he was serving as senior nursing operations director for

adult medical-surgical, critical care and trauma/ burn services at Wake Forest Baptist. He graduated from the University of Texas Arlington with undergraduate and graduate degrees in nursing.

Reflecting upon his decision to join Lexington Memorial, he said the move was a natural transition. “A position such as this is the next step along my career path,” he said. “It offers me great opportunity to grow professionally and also allows me to remain within the Wake Forest Baptist system for which I have great respect.” Veal said it is exciting to be a part of a team that will define what he perceives is a bright future for Lexington Memorial.

Veal’s position at Lexington Memorial is different from the traditional role of Chief Nursing Officer which typically oversees nursing functions. As Vice President of Patient Care Services, he will supervise all clinical services throughout the hospital, bringing radiology, pharmacy, rehabilitation services, respiratory care, and laboratory to his area of responsibility. Veal noted

Veal that all clinical disciplines are intertwined when it comes to the patient experience, and that teamwork across patient care services is essential to quality outcomes.

“Pulling clinical services together can only strengthen the hospital’s ability to provide an exceptional patient experience,” he said.

Engaging the frontline staff is foremost in his philosophy of improving the total patient experience. “I want to know what barriers the staff faces daily in their efforts to provide the best patient care, and also in the hospital’s ability to provide the best work environment,” he said. “I want to engage them in developing strategies on how to do things better

and more efficiently.”

Over the course of the next year, Veal plans to implement the “Shared Governance Model” which puts decision making at the grassroots level.

“Decision making should be from the bottom up— not the top down,” he said. “This model will enable frontline employees to participate in the decision making process, and in turn require that we nurture this philosophy with effective staff leadership and professional development.”

One of Veal’s first projects will be a “shared governance” approach to improving services in the hospital’s Emergency Department. “Lexington Memorial sees in excess of 30,000 patients in its Emergency Room each year, and decreasing wait times and ensuring a positive patient experience is of utmost importance,” he said. “I will work with a team of physicians, nurses, ancillary department representatives and financial experts in a multidisciplinary approach to identify concrete ways in which to be more efficient and effective in how

we provide care.”

Steve Schultz, President and CEO, said that Veal’s experience and proven track record as an innovative leader are essential to service growth.”

We have made great progress in the 16 months since the affiliation with Wake Forest Baptist,” he said, “and we expect to grow and expand our services in the coming months and years. Veal will be an integral part of this process,” he said.

“We are excited about our future, both as a provider of quality healthcare services and as a catalyst for economic development, but also as an active partner with the community to improve the overall health and wellness of Lexington and Davidson County.”

The senior management team at the Hospital includes Dan Squires, vice president and chief financial officer, and Barbara Smith, vice president, support services, in addition to Schultz and Veal. Squires, a certified public accountant, joined the hospital in 1996 and has responsibility for the

organization’s corporate financial services. Smith has more than 23 years service at Lexington Memorial, having served as human resources director before being promoted to vice president in 1996.

Veal, and his wife, Mary, reside in Lewisville. She is a registered nurse and works in Performance Improvement at Wake Forest Baptist. They have a daughter, Lauren, who is a senior at East Carolina University majoring in criminal justice. She is currently participating in an internship with the State Bureau of Investigation.

Veal admits that he has developed a passion for both golf and basketball since moving to North Carolina. “I didn’t play golf or know what the ACC Tournament was when I first moved here from Texas,” he said.

“Now I can’t get enough of either.”

Veal feels that he is in the right place at the right time. “I am where I want to be, and I look forward to the work we will accomplish together,” he said.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor A wonderful friend knew that I have had so many things to go wrong on my vehicle and last but not least a hole was found in my water pump. My friend wanted to have it fixed for me. When you allow God to work in your life, He provides help when needed. I was called

by Don at Shell Rapid Lube that my vehicle was ready. I was presented with a belt that runs the air conditioning, which was in shreds. He told me in good faith, he could not put the water pump back on knowing that this belt was going to snap at any time and he would have to charge me for taking the pump back off to replace the belt.

I feel that I need to inform the widow ladies, like myself, that there are still some folks that we can trust to be fair and not to overcharge even when they have a chance. I truly appreciate my field for helping me and the guys at Shell Rapid Lube for being honest.

Marti Baity Thomasville

To the Editor Please help me understand this. Where is common sense to be found in this day and age? Why in the world would anyone was a convicted felon to serve as the highest elected law enforcer in their county?

Why not let the convicted drug dealer go back to work at a drug store? While we’re at it, why don’t we let convicted child molesters go back to work at the local day care center? The fact that some residents of our county want Gerald Hege to be our sheriff again simply boggles my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that people do deserve a second or even a third chance to do good in society after they have paid the price for their mistake(s).

However, there are more ways to prove yourself and make a positive impact within your community that do not involve reacquiring the same position that you failed in previously.

Here are the facts as I understand them. While serving as sheriff, Mr. Hege resigned his position. In other word, he quit. While serving as sheriff, Mr. Hege knowingly broke the law, which he was sworn to uphold. When facing the charges brought against

him, Mr. Hege took a pleabargain deal that led to man of the charges against him being dropped. Isn’t this the same man that proclaimed while he was sheriff, “No deals for criminals in Davidson County?” Well he sure hopped on a deal when one was offered. Many people say that the crime rate was lower when Mr. Hege was sheriff.

Some even say that the numbers prove it. But were these “number” from his time in office accurate, truthful numbers? There really is no way to know for sure. One thing that is known is that funds were used without following the proper procedures during Mr. Hege’s time in office.

However, there are some things that Mr. Hege did that may very well have had some useful purpose. The pink jail cells, taking TVs out of the jail, inmate chain-gangs, I had no problem with those things. But then, here are many other things that I just don’t understand. I didn’t then and I don’t now. The “Spider Car?” The paramilitary-style uniforms? The reality show?

These things were clearly all unnecessary, ego-related issue.

My overall point is this: Mr. Hege had his chance to do this important job once, and frankly, he blew it. Furthermore, I believe that this is one of those jobs where there are no “mulligans.” As far as Mr. Hege being elected to this office again, please remember what Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

I truly hope that the majority of our voters in Davidson County are not “insane.”

Ken Hepler Planning Department City of Thomasville

Who will take Erskine’s place?

VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist Who is going to take Erskine Bowles’s place as President of the multicampus University of North Carolina (UNC)?

The easy answer is “whomever the 32-person Board of Governors of the university selects.”

Somebody gave me a more cynical answer: “Whoever gets 16 plus one votes.”

The Board will be looking for the new president who has two critical qualifications: 1. A good feel for North Carolina’s traditions and the state’s needs, and, 2. Successful experience at the highest level of university administration.

It has been tough to find the right candidate who meets both these qualifications. Presidents Dick Spangler and Bowles met the first test, but not the second. President Molly Broad met the second test, but not the first.

So, is there anybody out there today who can meet both tests?

Here are a few possibilities: Henderson native Elson S. Floyd, president of the fourcampus Washington State University, is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where he also held important administrative positions. He has been president of the four-cam-

pus University of Missouri and president of Western Michigan University.

J. B. Milliken is president of the University of Nebraska. Previously, he was senior vice president at UNC, where he gained an intimate familiarity with the state’s political elite.

Harold L. Martin, currently North Carolina A&T’s chancellor, served as senior vice president for academic affairs at the UNC from 2006 until 2009.

Fayetteville native Holden Thorpe is still on a long honeymoon as chancellor at UNC-Chapel Hill. His youthfulness has been an asset in his current position and could be a real advantage if the UNC board wants someone who could serve, as did William Friday, for more than a few years.

Bernadette Gray-Little, a native of eastern North Carolina and long time faculty member and recent executive vice chancellor and provost at UNC-Chapel Hill, is the brand-new chancellor of the University of Kansas.

Davidson College President Tom Ross spent 16 years as a Superior Court judge based in Greensboro and served as the director of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Court, where he worked closely with the legislature and oversaw the rewriting of the state’s sentencing guidelines. In 2001 he became executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, where he worked with multiple constituencies on a host of North Carolina’s problems and opportunities.

Asheville native Leslie Winner succeeded Ross at Z. Smith Reynolds. Previously, she was UNC’s vice president and chief legal officer. Earlier she served in the state senate where she oversaw

appropriations for education.

William Roper, dean of the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine, vice chancellor for Medical Affairs and CEO of the UNC Health Care System, is a nationally respected expert on health care issues, and a proven manager in the most complicated of university activities.

Debra Stewart, president of the Council of Graduate Schools since 2000, was vice chancellor and dean of the Graduate School at North Carolina State University, and she served as interim chancellor at UNC-Greensboro.

Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan since 2002, is one of Time Magazine’s top 10 university presidents. She was president of the University of Iowa and held top administrative posts at UNC-Chapel Hill, where she earned her doctorate in biochemistry.

Elizabeth Kiss, president of Agnes Scott College, was previously director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. She graduated from Davidson and Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar.

Sometimes public university governing boards pick one of their own to lead the institution, usually in recognition of the importance of political judgment and clout. One obvious possibility would be Greensboro lawyer Jim Phillips, a former board chair and deemed by one magazine “the most plugged-in attorney in North Carolina.”

FROMPAGE 1 VISITOR From page A5 another wave,” Wilder said. “With the community’s help, I think we were able to keep it from being much larger than it could have been. I think it was helpful to restrict the visitation and it did make a difference. For the most part, people worked with us and realized we were doing it out of concern for them so their children wouldn’t get sick as well as someone already in the hospital. I think

FEBRUARY From page 1 patterns across the Northern Hemisphere.

This phenomenon typically brings a wetter and cooler climate to North Carolina.

Combined with the Arctic Oscillation — cold air moving down from Canada — the two weather patterns make for an even more extreme cold than normal.

The abnormal weather has affected many Triad residents, not only by scrambling the school schedule but also through the basic sniffles and pains a body endures in the cold.

“Some days it’s pretty hard,” said Gary Porter, of High Point. “With anybody, cold is going to make your body ache more and your joints ache more.”

Porter, who works as a sign holder for Liberty Income Tax on Randolph Street, said he has noticed the persistant chill this February when standing outside.

Other residents don’t seem to mind it so much, however, enjoying the wintery precipitation

CIS From page 1 life. A child that is hungry can’t learn, a child without glasses can’t see to do their homework, a child with difficulties at home will not be fully concentrating.

Those are the things we can address.”

All four city schools are actively involved with CIS and have been since 1994. Donna Davis is the CIS coordinator at Thomasville Primary School and told board members that many of her students have needs, both academically and socially. Through the efforts of staff members and volunteers, Davis said TPS students know that there are people in the world who care about them and that the community they live in does really care.

“I’ve been with the program since the beginning,” Davis said. “We have many volunteers who spend countless hours, not just in the school but outside the school also. We are there to help them in some small way. If we can help one child we are successful.”

At Thomasville Middle School, CIS Coordinator Kim Sanders teaches students about pregnancy prevention, and there also is a scholarship

most people understood the reasoning behind it and were willing to work with us.”

With the restrictions lifted, visitation privileges will return to normal, meaning anybody can come and visit during visiting hours under the age of 18. While Wilder said she would like think another restriction would not put in place, if the need arose again, similar measures could be implemented.

that comes hand in hand.

“This is the most snow I’ve ever seen in Thomasville,” said resident Penny Hogan. “I hope we get at least one more like the last one we had.”

Like Hogan, other aspects of Triad life have enjoyed the wet and the cold. Boyles said that while some crops may have been negatively affected, bruit crops in particular have taken advantage of the decrease in pests. Also, he said many of the wineries in the area have benefited from the extended winter weather, since wine grapes and vines need a little bit of cold to be successful.

The wetter February also has helped ease the burden across North Carolina after a series of dry seasons.

“With all the precipitation we’ve had, we’ve had no concerns about drought and probably won’t have any concerns about drought this year,” Boyles said. “Given the droughts we’ve had in the past decade, that’s a nice change.”

available for underprivileged eighth graders who aspire to attend college.

So far 54 such scholarships have already been awarded.

Liberty Drive Elementary and CIS team up every year to bring fifth graders Starbase, a program that emphasizes science, technology, engineering and mathematics through hands-on applications and experiments in an effort to ward students away from drug abuse. Susan Upton is the CIS coordinator at LDE. Thomasville High School and Donald Mock involves students in a youth philanthropy program in conjunction with CIS, teaching them how to give back to a community.

“We are so fortunate to have a partner like CIS working with our school system” Superintendent Keith Tobin said. “It’s just such a tremendous service for our children.”

Younts said CIS wouldn’t be possible without the support of local organizations like the United Way, Thomasville Police Department and city council. She added that there’s always more work to be done. All it takes is the community to volunteer a little of their time to ensure a bright future for Thomasville led by people who know others around them truly care.

WALLBURG — When it comes playoff time, every team just wants a chance to win at the end. For Ledford’s Lady Panthers, they got that chance Monday evening in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 3-A state playoffs, but could not get the shot it needed to finish on top.

Ledford coach John Ralls designed a play with five seconds left with the Panthers trailing by two, and it appeared the Panthers had the shot it wanted to tie Eastern Alamance. Instead, Jameelan Pickard got a piece of Chelsea Freeman’s attempt as timed expired, and the Eagles escaped to the second round by a 52-50 score.

“The shot didn’t go down — What can you say,” said Ralls.

The Panthers held a 45-40 lead with 4:43 left, but it was about to be erased.

Over the course of the next couple of minutes, the Eagles came back to notch the score at 45-all.

Still tied at 49-49, Alamance took the final lead on an inbounds layin by Jazz Parker.

Freeman had two shots at the free-throw line to tie again, but missed the second. Pickard was fouled and added a point at the line just

before the final play.

“With all the stuff we went through, we hung in there,” said Ralls. “I am proud of them, but we didn’t want to go out like this.”

Ledford is not known as a dangerous threat from the outside, but they were stroking it effectively in the first quarter.

Taylor Ballard rattled home two of them to start the game putting the Lady Panthers up 6-5. Megan Surles and Freeman added triples of their own to account for four in the quarter, then Kaitlyn Todd made it five as the horn sounded, rolling in a 3-pointer that boosted LHS to an 18-11 lead heading to the second quarter.

Eastern Alamance got on a roll to start the frame with Rogers scoring four straight points and Pickard two more. The Eagles were back to within one and were attacking on the offensive boards.

It would remain a one-point Panther edge at the 3:38 mark, but a 6-0 spurt was about to take place for the Mid-Piedmont Conference’s No. 2 seed.

Four successful tries at the charity stripe and a conversion underneath by Carman Pericozzi made it 28-21 Panthers. Pericozzi’s 3-point play later on gave Ledford a 33-25 halftime lead.

Pericozzi paced Ledford with 17 points while Pickard led the Eagles with 15.

AUTO CLUB 500

Johnson nabs victory No. 48

BY REID SPENCER NASCARMedia.com FONTANA, Calif. — A career came full circle for Jimmie Johnson, who won his first NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in 2002 and on Sunday claimed his fifth victory at the 2mile track and the 48th of his career — matching the No. 48 on his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

After gaining the lead in the Auto Club 500 during a fortunate exchange on pit road, the fourtime defending series champion held off Kevin Harvick during a 20 lap green-flag run to the finish. Harvick had narrowed a one-second lead to .311 seconds on Lap 246 of 250 before a brush with the wall slowed his progress.

Jeff Burton ran third, followed by Mark Martin and Joey Logano. Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle completed the top 10.

The first one, a 68-59 victory over Connecticut in November, resulted in the NIT Season Tip-Off title. This one could result in the ACC’s regular season crown for the sixth-ranked Blue Devils (22-4, 11-2 ACC), who distanced themselves from Virginia Tech (21-5, 84) and stayed ahead of Maryland.

“It’s a really big win for us. They’re very, very good,” Krzyzewski said.

“Both teams played outstanding defense, so it was tough to get good

Thomasville tried to squeeze every drop of energy out of the tank it could after a rigorous win over their rivals one night before, but the fumes were not enough to provide an upset for a second straight game.

Salisbury built up a 11point halftime lead then mashed the pedal all the way to the floor in the third quarter, scoring 27 points to cruise in the Central Carolina Conference championship game, 81-44.

The Hornets got balanced scoring and were paced by Alex Weant’s 20 points. Darien Rankin helped out with 10 points.

De Dow was the top scorer for the Bulldogs with 11.

“I think we just expended so much energy against Lexington last night,” said THS head coach Tony Clark.

“Adrenaline-wise, to come back and play such a great team the next night was just too much for our team to overcome.”

Though not playing its best half of basketball, Thomasville was only down 36-25 at the half and has the capability of making a quick run. Instead, Salisbury made the frantic run and turned out the lights on the tournament final.

The Hornets clipped off a 16-3 run by driving the lane, hitting from the outside and getting Weant involved on the block. Weant would score the final two baskets for Salisbury in the quarter, putting them ahead 63-35,

Blue Devils overcome poor shooting to win

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Whenever Duke senior Brian Zoubek grabbed an offensive rebound Sunday night and passed the ball out to an open teammate, everyone in Cameron Indoor Stadium waited to cheer a resulting shot swishing through the bottom of the net.

They’re still waiting, but they’re still cheering as well.

“Those are like signature plays for us, where you rebound and kick it out and you shoot a three,

Bulldogs fade in CCC title game

and we start skipping down the yellow brick road,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “But when I started to skip, I stumbled.”

Fortunately for the Blue Devils, the brick wall they built on defense trumped their bricks on offense.

Duke shot 29 percent, but the Blue Devils’ defense held Virginia Tech to similar numbers to allow Duke to come away with a crucial 67-55 victory.

“It’s the way we’ve won games all year — defense and rebounding,”

said Duke junior Nolan Smith, who scored 11 of his 23 points over the final 10 minutes. “Obviously we’ve showed this year that we can shoot bad. It’s going to happen.

“Most years, we might lose those games and let that affect our defense and rebounding. Now we’re not letting that happen, so we’re still able to win these tough games.”

Sunday’s game marked the second time this season — but the first two times since 1950 — that Duke has won while shooting less than 30 percent.

Tar Heels falter at BC

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun BOSTON — North Carolina coach Roy Williams entered Saturday’s game against Boston College believing a win over the Eagles would be the spark his slumping team needed.

Williams, who has coached 20 consecutive teams to the NCAA Tournament, thought if UNC could beat BC it would kickstart a run that would see the Tar Heels win their final five games and finish .500 in the ACC to qualify for an NCAA Tournament invitation.

But the Tar Heels could not make it past its first hurdle.

UNC, which trailed by as many as 10 in the second half, got within two with 1:39 to play but never could get over the final hump in a 71-67 loss to the Eagles 71-67 at Conte Forum for its sixth loss in the past seven games.

More importantly, the loss all but dashed the Tar Heels’ NCAA Tournament hopes — unless they win the ACC Tournament — and guaranteed UNC will have its first losing season in ACC play since the 6-10 record in 2002-03.

“Now I’ve got to readjust and see if we can get it done starting on Wednesday night,” Williams said. “In my own solid opinion — and I’ve never been ... in this position, I’ve never cared whether it’s one seed, two seed or three seed — but I did last night say, ‘All right, we’re 3-8. Let’s

win five in a row and 8-8 will get us in.’

“But we didn’t get the first step done.”

The only time a Williams-led team has missed the NCAA Tournament was in 1988-89 in his first year as a head coach at Kansas.

“I really felt like we were really excited about going and winning out and getting to a point where they would have to make some tough decisions on our season,” said senior Marcus Ginyard, who finished with 10 points. “I thought we were excited about that, but it didn’t really translate on the court for the type of play that we needed to win.”

The Tar Heels (14-13, 39 ACC) trailed 37-36 at the break but opened the second half with a 10-2 run to go up 46-39. That was the last time UNC would lead, however.

Boston College (13-13, 4-8) outscored UNC 24-7 over the next 10 minutes, as the Eagles build their largest lead of the game at 63-53.

The Tar Heels then scored seven straight points, capped by a Deon Thompson (17 points) bucket to cut it to 63-60 with five minutes to play.

But the Tar Heels faltered after that — Larry Drew II missed a shot, John Henson missed a free throw in the bonus and Drew turned it over before Henson (11 points) was whistled for goaltending to put the Eagles up by five.

The two teams then traded baskets before a Drew layup and ensuing

free throw cut the deficit to 67-65 with 1:39 to play, but Rakim Sanders countered with a jumper on the other end and the Tar Heels never got closer.

“I thought if we were going to stop them, we have to stop them from scoring, you can’t just trade baskets,” Drew said. “One team is going to have to take over at some point; it just seems like it’s never us. It’s always the other team that wants it more than us.”

Reggie Jackson scored 13 of his 17 in the second half to lead the Eagles, while Corey Raji added 16 and Sanders 14.

UNC’s Tyler Zeller had nine points and seven rebounds in 16 minutes in his first game back after sitting out 10 games with a stress fracture in his right foot. After the game, Zeller said he was not in any pain but still is working to get back to where he was before the injury — something the Tar Heels desperately need.

“We’ve got to find the pride to finish out the year playing with pride,” Ginyard said. “If we don’t have that, then it’s going to continue to be ugly. But we’ve got to find that pride as a team to play better — just play better. We don’t have to play amazing; we don’t have to play great — just play better.”

“It has been our Achilles-heel all year long,” said Clark.” We usually have one quarter where we struggle defensively, and it was no different tonight.”

Even with the lopsided loss, Clark remained a happy man and was pleased with the effort and desire his team had throughout the two nights of action.

“We are still very proud of them and staying positive,” he said. “We are going to hold our heads up.”

looks. We shoot 29 percent; they shoot 32 percent.

“But down the stretch, our guys hit everything.

When they took the lead — [Malcolm] Delaney got that 3 to go up 45-44 — our guys showed a lot of character in winning this ballgame.”

Duke shot a season-low 23.3 percent in the first half but still led by five points, and the Blue Devils led 44-42 with 10 minutes left despite hitting just 4 of 20 shots over the first 10 minutes of the half.

Delaney, the ACC’s leading scorer, gave Virginia Tech the lead back with a 3, one of just two he hit on nine attempts on his way to 19 points.

Duke responded with a flurry, going on an 11-2 run over the next three minutes for a 55-47 lead.

Smith started it with a three-point play and a couple of free throws on either side of a Terrell Bell hoop, then Zoubek made perhaps the biggest play of the game, rebounding a Smith miss, scoring and drawing a foul for a three-point play and a 52-47 lead. Zoubek finished with 16 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end.

“That felt great,” Zoubek said. “Obviously I hadn’t scored up until that point.”

After a timeout, Kyle Singler — who scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds — hit a 3-pointer, Duke’s first connection of the half on seven attempts — to make it 5547.

After a couple of free throws from Delaney, Smith scored and then Jon Scheyer (15 points) sank a 3 to push the edge to 60-49 heading to the final four minutes.

It wasn’t a surprise to see Duke’s big three all have a hand in sealing the victory. Outside of Zoubek’s three-point play, the only point of the night for anyone other than Singler, Smith and Scheyer came on a firsthalf free throw from Miles Plumlee.

“I’d like to have other people score — that’s an obvious thing,” Krzyzewski said, “but what I want to do is win and not let lack of scoring impact in a negative way our defense and rebounding.”

On this night, Krzyzewski got his wish.

Duke led 35-30 at halftime by hitting 15 of 19 free throws in a foul-ridden half while holding Delaney and Dorenzo Hudson (12 points) to 3of-16 shooting.

The halftime score and the shooting statistics prompted Duke assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski — the 1998 defensive player of the year — to urge the Blue Devils to forget about their misfires.

They started the second half 3-for-19 to lose their lead, but they didn’t lose their faith or their defensive focus.

“At halftime, Wojo said, ‘Remember our identity,’ “ Krzyzewski said. “ ‘Our identity this year isn’t like most Duke teams: It’s rebounding and defense.’

“I would like to be able to add that we’re a really good shooting team to that, and skip down that yellow brick road. But until that happens — and hopefully it will happen — the fact that they’re able to maintain shows a lot of character.”

inherited the lead and held it for a restart on Lap 231.

“They’re really good, but they’re also really, really lucky,” Harvick said. “They have a golden horseshoe stuck up their ass—there’s no getting around that.”

Johnson acknowledged his good fortune after climbing from his car in

The brush with the wall, however, ended his prospects for victory.

Harvick’s Chevy slid into the barrier after Johnson moved up the track to block the line he was running.

“I caught the wall there just enough to knock the right front fender in,” Harvick said. “You know, if he doesn’t move up, he’s going to get passed pretty easily. He moved up and did what he was supposed to do to take that line away.”
