TPD cars to sport new look BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Thomasville’s officers in black are making a comeback. In an effort to both save taxpayer dollars and get more use out of their squad cars, Thomasville Police Department is going back to a black and white color scheme on its vehicles. “This is basically keeping with a trend of other law enforcement agencies,” Maj. James Mills said. “A vast majority of departments
are going to the black and white color schemes. We wanted to stay with the trend but we also wanted to remain unique.” Going back to the back and white scheme will save TPD thousands of dollars as the department makes the transition from the white and blue it has had for years. The new cars — a Dodge Charger and a Crown Victoria — will come in black, but will no longer require a paint job to personalize the vehicle for TPD. Instead, all the new logos will be
applied via a vinyl wrap that goes around the car and can easily be removed and replaced. The new wrap will cost TPD $550 per car compared to spending more than $1,000 to paint the vehicle. “The cost-savings should be significant,” said Mills. “We can wrap two cars for the price it costs to paint one.” Mills said that the transition will take some time before all three dozen cars in the depart-

Board accepts agreement with state for VIPER tower BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
LEXINGTON — Despite a lingering lack of clarity in the wording, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners unanimously accepted an agreement with the state at its Tuesday night meeting to use federal grant money to build a VIPER tower. VIPER, or Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders, is a networking project that would allow emergency personnel of varying agencies to communicate statewide. “The state is currently in the process of establishing the backbone of a statewide, interagency public safety voice trunked com-
munications network,” County Manager Robert Hyatt said in a memo to the board. The state proposed the agreement through the N.C. Highway Patrol last summer, and the county received a copy of the lease in the fall. The approved contract leases the currently county-owned property where the old animal shelter was to the state to build a new VIPER tower. Though the county already owns and maintains a tower on the site, county staff reports that the 40year-old structure is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. To temper costs of repair, the state applied for and received $706,000 in federal grant

money on the county’s behalf. While the board could have opted to use the funds to build a new tower independently but in compliance with state guidelines, the commissioners decided to turn the funds over to N.C. Highway Patrol to manage and implement the project. On such terms, the state will tear down the old tower, build a new one and would be responsible for ongoing insurance, utilities, operation and maintenance costs. The only glitch in an otherwise seemingly ideal plan is the absence of any official wording regarding future usage.

FROM PAGE 1 CHURCH STREET SCHOOL HISTORY 1868 — John W. Thomas deeded a lot at Thomasville Methodist Episcopal Church, Colored, for a school for black children. Blacks first attended the school in an old log church, now the site of St. John’s Church 1904 — Thomasville School Board bought a larger lot, and a tworoom schoolhouse was erected farther down Church Street. Not long after that a larger frame school was built. 1935 — A fire damaged the building. Some classes were conducted in rooms behind the church while damage was repaired. 1936 — The present Church Street School was built. January 1937 — Church Street School, on Jasper Street, opens to students. The school had 515 students enrolled, and E.L. McClenny was the principal. 1964 — The junior and senior high school students at Church Street School were reassigned to Main Street School and Thomasville Senior High School as part of the Freedom of Choice Movement. Church Street School continued as an all-black elementary school. 1969 — Schools across North Carolina were integrated. 1970 — Classes fully integrated. Church Street was made a onegrade school, housing the eighth graders. Sixth and seventh graders were moved to Main Street School. 1975 — Thomasville Junior High School was built, and Church Street School was converted into an allsixth grade building. April 1976 — Teachers object to Thomasville School Board’s consideration to close Church Street School because of the steady decline in enrollment. February 1977 — Thomasville School Board decided to leave Church Street School open because the educational advantages of having a separate sixth grade building outweighed the costs. 1982 — Thomasville Board of Education voted to reorganize the city schools by closing Church Street School and moving the sixth grade to a middle school at the Junior High School Building and moving the ninth grade to the Senior High School. June, 1982 — The last day of classes at Church Street School. February 1984 — Thomasville Board of Education seeks citizen input about the future of Church Street School by appointing a six-member committee consisting of community members. May 1990 — Another fire swept through Church Street School’s gym. Firefighters suspect arson and said that it was the fourth fire at the school in two years. September 1991 — City Council issues a condemnation ordinance on Church Street School. July 2000 — A fire ravaged Church Street School and left the building a brick shell.
SOLID From page 1 field trip that started it all but because of the foundation she formed there. Church Street School opened in 1869 as the first school for black children. Though it re-located to a larger building on Church street in 1904 and then again to a bigger site on Jasper Street in 1937, the school remained an integral part of the AfricanAmerican community in Thomasville. Even now, years after the school was integrated in 1969 then closed in 1982 and later burned down in 2000, local alum still hold the school dear to their hearts. Part of that strong connection comes from the bonds formed there, particularly between student and teacher. Though Church Street School — a top-notch school in almost every aspect — used hand-medown text books from the all-white schools in the area, the teachers still held students to high expectations, said Jewel Welborn, who attended the school in the late 1950s. “Teachers instilled in us that you could be the best that you wanted to be regardless of the re-
H[dj W kd_j Xo 7fh_b (/j^ WdZ [dj[h je m_d
(&& 97I>
sources that you had,” she said. After teaching that lesson, teachers enforced it, helping students after school and encouraging kids in their life’s pursuits. “I knew that I was searching and wanting to be the best that I could be,” Jones-Byrd said. “I always had people there, teachers there, who always pushed me. They knew that you were interested in doing something, and they would push you. They would make sure that you were doing the right thing.” The school served as a developmental starting point, teaching kids not only to read and write but also the importance of interacting with other human beings and moral strength. “It was the start of my early life,” said Thomas Siler, a 1949 graduate. “That’s where I laid the foundation.” Though Siler went into the military after graduation instead of going to college, he said he still used the valuable lessons from his school days. “Learning how to work with others, be with others, learning how to mingle — it’s all a learned experience,” he said. Because the school
housed all black children, Church Street School students also learned about some of the hard truths about life. Just as with the hand-me-down textbooks, the kids learned that the clothes they wore and the houses they lived in didn’t dictate who they were, said Pauline Lyons, who graduated in 1956. “It didn’t matter what anybody thought about you, get your education and move forward,” she said. “Most people down there helped us and talked to us and taught us what’s right and wrong. That’s the way I try to raise my children now, and my grandchildren.” And the old school’s lessons have paid off. Besides producing graduates who went on to operate restaurants, beauty parlors, cafes and other privately owned businesses in Thomasville, Church Street School graduates also went on to make a list of Thomasville firsts. The Rev. Glenn Brooks and J.W. Mathis were the first black city council members. Leroy Worthy was the first black to be awarded the Lion of the Year plaque and perhaps the first black member in the Lion’s Club 58-year existence. Jones-Byrd was the
first black from Thomasville to land a major role in a movie. “A lot of great people, I mean great people, have come out of Church Street School,” she said. “And if you look back in all the history that has been done, it is a historic place.” But despite all of their great achievement JonesByrd said those great people are on some level still students at heart, and they all remember fondly their school days. “They all leave a great mark, and they all still
love Church Street School,” she said. ‘So many people that you can pull to and lean to. They’re always there to tell you more and to help you to build and remember how Church Street School has grown and how people have just networked together to save and to keep and to make sure that Church Street School will always live.”

The Ron Paul delusion VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist What are we to make of the Republican Party’s future now that libertarian Rep. Ron Paul won the presidential straw poll at the well-attended Conservative Political Action Conference last week? Is the GOP about to transform into the party of the gold standard? Let’s, for a moment, forget Paul (and how I wish this could be a permanent condition, considering the congressman is neither a serious politician nor — and I can’t stress this enough — a serious thinker). Libertarianism offers conservatives — many of them new to political activism — an earnest ideological alternative to the process-heavy politics that dominate Washington. It allows Republicans to cleanse themselves of the GOP’s failure to deliver on promises of smaller government and fiscal restraint. None of which is new. The 1964 Barry Goldwater would be considered a libertarian today by many measures. The National Review constructed a “fusionist” effort to bring the parties together. Ronald Reagan explained to Reason magazine back in 1975 that “the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.” Two sticking points preventing this fling from turning into something more serious have been social issues and war. Has anything changed to alter the dynamics of the relationship? Probably not. Patrick Buchanan recently claimed that the GOP is showing signs of turning away from its recent foreign policy positions. The focus of policy may have changed — and perhaps there’s more reluctance in nation building — but polls pretty clearly illustrate Republicans still believe in a robust and proactive national defense. Social issues are far more complex — and they always have been, despite caricatures. But the reality is that most of the cultural issues that
divide Americans have been mired in political stalemates. You can debate abortion all day long; policy won’t be changing. Economics, on the other hand, touches almost everything in a tangible way. That — and one of the most aggressive left-wing economic agendas in American history — makes the libertarian fiscal message seductive. Does that mean we need Paul? “Congressman Paul is committed to bringing the conservative movement back to its traditional platform of limited government, balanced budgets and a foreign policy of nonintervention,” claims Jesse Benton, Paul’s spokesman. If only it stopped there. Paul isn’t a traditional conservative. His obsession with long-decided monetary policy and isolationism are not his only half-baked crusades. Paul’s newsletters of the ‘80s and ‘90s were filled with anti-Semitic and racist rants, proving his slumming in the ugliest corners of conspiracyland today is no mistake. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of Paul is that thousands of intellectually curious young people will have read his silly books, including “End the Fed,” as serious manifestoes. Though you wouldn’t know it by listening to Paul or reading his words, libertarians do have genuine ideas that conservatives might embrace. A serious libertarian, David Boaz at the Cato Institute, found that 14 percent of American voters could be classified as libertarian. “Other surveys,” he points out, “find a larger number of people who hold views that are neither consistently liberal nor conservative but are best described as libertarian.” Seeing as the two top concerns at CPAC were “reducing size of federal government” (35 percent) followed by “reducing government spending,” it is obvious the message of individual freedom and small government has resonance. But accepting Ron Paul as the leader of this — or, actually, any — charge is a mistake for both parties.

Illegal immigrants: Not so scary BY STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist From listening to the more vigorous critics of illegal immigration, our porous borders are a grave threat to safety. Not only can foreign terrorists sneak in to target us, but the most vicious criminals are free to walk in and inflict their worst on innocent Americans. In xenophobic circles, this prospect induces stark terror. Fox News’ Glenn Beck has decried an “illegal immigrant crime wave.” A contributor to Patrick Buchanan’s website asserts, “Every day, in the United States, thousands of illegal aliens unleash a reign of terror on Americans.” Sure they do. And I’m Penelope Cruz. There is a surface logic here. If people are willing to commit the crime of slipping into the country without permission, it might stand to reason that they have no respect for our laws and will break even more once they’re here. Add in Mexican drug lords and Central American gangs, and it looks like we should all be fleeing to Canada to save our hides. Chicago’s Latino residents have risen to 28 percent of the population, and among that population are many people who came illegally. So why doesn’t it feel like we’re fighting the battle of the Alamo? Simple: The things that would happen if the alarmists were right simply have not happened. A continuing inflow of violent, predatory Latinos would produce an unprecedented epidemic of larceny and slaughter. In reality, as the illegal immigrant population has grown, crime has, well, gone south. Since 1986, the year of the
infamous amnesty for illegal immigrants, the U.S. murder rate has plunged by 37 percent. (In Chicago, the number of homicides went from 747 in 1986 to 460 last year.) Forcible rape is down 23 percent. Drunk driving fatalities are off by more than half. You are safer today than you were before all those undocumented interlopers arrived. Much is made of the alleged fact that 30 percent of federal prison inmates are illegal immigrants. Actually, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the correct figure is 14 percent, and many are in just for violating immigration laws. In prisons at the state level, where most violent crime is prosecuted, illegal immigrants account for less than 5 percent of all inmates. How can all this be? It’s partly because nativeborn Americans are less prone to senseless mayhem than they used to be. But it’s also because people who come here from other countries are actually more law-abiding than the norm. A 2007 report by the Immigration Policy Center noted that “for every ethnic group, without exception, incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants, even those who are the least educated. This holds true especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population.” Harvard sociologist Robert Sampson, who has focused his research on Chicago neighborhoods, documents that felonious behavior is less common among Mexican-Americans, who constitute the biggest share of Latinos, than among whites. Second and third generation Latinos, contrary
to what you might expect, fall into more crime than immigrants. But Sampson says that overall, “MexicanAmerican rates of violence are very similar to whites.” The phenomenon is so evident that it was even recognized in a recent article in The American Conservative — a magazine founded by the lusty nativist (“we’re gonna lose our country”) Patrick Buchanan. It was written by Ron Unz, who made some enemies among Latinos by pushing a California ballot initiative to sharply limit bilingual education in public schools, but who knows better than to regard Latinos as the enemy. Unz points out that in the five most heavily Hispanic cities in the country, violent crime is “10 percent below the national urban average and the homicide rate 40 percent lower.” In Los Angeles, which is half Hispanic and easily accessible to those sneaking over the southern border, the murder rate has plummeted to levels unseen since the tranquil years of the early 1960s. This is not really hard to understand. Today, as ever, most foreigners who make the sacrifice of leaving home and starting over in a strange land do so not to mug grandmothers or molest children, but to find work that will give them a better life. Coming here illegally does not alter that basic motivation. In other words, they want to become full-fledged Americans, and they’re succeeding. Is there something scary about that?

Letters to the Editor To the Editor My name is Kellie Rabon and I am a local Meals On Wheels volunteer. For the last three years I have had the opportunity to serve some of the most loving and appreciative members of our community. I can not begin to relate in words what a blessing I have received from my clients. They are all very special to me but I am writing today about a lady that was not only special to me but to everyone that knew her. That lady was Doris Elaine Bryant Hepler. Mrs. Hepler passed away Feb. 3, 2010. The news of her passing left an emptiness in my heart that remains today. I did not learn of the news until I arrived at The Piedmont Center last Friday to pick up my meals for delivery and I must

confess that from the beginning of my route to the end, I was in a state of denial, for you see, the Hepler residence was my last stop. Only seeing the wreath on the door did I truly realize I would no longer be met at the door by that beautiful, most gracious smiling face of Mrs. Hepler. As I entered the residence, I was met by Mr. Hepler who fought back the tears as I gently set down a single meal (instead of the usual two). We shared a hug and I conveyed my condolences as Mr. Hepler walked me to the door. I had only met Mr. Hepler once before because Mrs.Hepler was always the one at the door. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful spirit that just brightened the cloudiest of days. Confined to a wheelchair, unable to walk,

she always had a positive and encouraging word to share. I am sure there were many days that she did not feel well but she never let that be known, not to me anyway. I always left their house feeling a sense of peace and a heart filled with warmth. My heart and prayers go out to this family, especially Mr. Hepler. I only got to know Mrs. Hepler for three years and then only once a month, but I will treasure every memory. My hope is that her family and close friends know that she touched many lives and she will not be forgotten. I count her and all my other clients a blessing and they all hold a special place in my heart. Kellie Rabon Thomasville

FROMPAGE 1 TOWER From page 1
“The county attorney’s office submitted a request to the state that certain amendments be made to clarify certain issues,� said County Attorney Chuck Frye. “The major issue was trying to set out the parameters by which Davidson County could add equipment to the tower in the future.� Given that the new tower is estimated to last 30 years, Frye said that drastic improvements in technology five, maybe even 10 years down the road can’t be planned for. The attorney wanted a provision in the lease outlining how the county could go about requesting permission from the state to add such technology. “Right now we own the tower, we own the property, so we have control of whatever we want to do,� Hyatt said. “If we lease to the state, we no longer have control of that property. We’re trying to look into the future and

hopefully get some flexibility.� While the state assured county officials that it would be willing to negotiate changes to the tower and other counties haven’t experienced any issues, the state refused to put in writing how negotiations will take place. “The final bottom line is that clarity’s not going to be forthcoming,� Frye said. Despite the uncertainty, however, the commissioners voted 7-0 to enter into agreement with the state given the advantages. “I think the bottom line is ultimately the benefit derived by the county from the tower outweighs the concern we have,� Frye said. In other news, the board also discussed using federal funds to erect a message board advertising H1N1 vaccinations and a request for the designation of the sheriff to make recommendations to the NC Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission on ABC permit applications.

TPD will go back to a traditional black and white scheme on police cars.

ment are the new black and whites. There are currently two Crown Victorias already slated to receive the wrap within the next few weeks, and as new cars come into the fleet, they will all take on the new scheme. “As administrators we want to be good stewards with taxpayer dollars,� Mills said. “This is not something we’re doing to the entire fleet at one time. As they come in, they will be transitioned over and the old cars will be phased out.� Chief Jeff Insley said a transition team headed up by Sgt. Toby Smith, TPD’s planning and research supervisor, came up with several different designs for the new scheme. Out of seven new designs, four were selected as finalists and put to a vote by TPD officers. “What we looked at was trying to get as much participation from the department as possible,� Insley said. “A lot of guys came up with different concepts and we just put it to a vote. We’re excited
about the new design.� Just how long a squad car stays in the fleet depends on its condition. Mills said older cars are usually used during winter months to avoid damaging a new vehicle. Another plus from the new wrap is that it can be taken off and the car can be designated to other departments to serve as an unmarked vehicle. The wrap also sustains the value of the vehicle when the times comes to sell it. TPD is already using the new wrap on its trailer that will be used for checkpoints and other various appearances.

Staff Writer As much as the recent winiter weather has played havoc on the basketball schedule, having a game postponed is becoming pretty common of late. That’s the scenario again facing the East Davidson High School Lady Golden Eagles. More snow pushed back East’s second round 2-A playoff game at Shelby High School from Wednesday to this evening, giving the Lady Eagles an extra day to prepare for the Lady Lions. Fresh off an impressive 65-44 victory over Lincolnton Monday night in the opening round of the playoffs, EDHS, the No. 2 seed from the Central Carolina Conference, is looking to keep its momentum going against a Shelby squad that is very similar to the Lady Eagles. “From what I understand about Shelby, they are pretty evenly matched with us as far as height and guards,” East coach Brian Eddinger said. “It will probably come down to who comes out of the gates ready to go, who has the intensity and who wants it more. I have a feeling that’s what this game will be.” If Monday night is any indication, the Lady Eagles may have more basketball to play. East jumped all over the Lady Wolves, building a 20-point lead by halftime and stretching the bulge to 30 after three quarters. Eddinger said he was a little shocked his team built such a big lead. “We came out with a lot of defensive intensity and pressure,” said Eddinger. “That’s always led to offense for us. That kind of got us going from there. It was good to see us hit the ground running. “For this team, we are ones who grind it out. We don’t usually get big leads like that. We always come and play and either get a lit-

Some dreams are so big, and seem so unattainable, that even the dreamer doesn’t believe they can ever come true. Just ask 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray. After the race, McMurray talked about the experience of seeing the checkered flag in front of him ... and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., one of the best superspeedway racers in NASCAR, coming up behind him. Fast. “To be honest, I was like, ‘Crap,’” he said. “This guy has won a lot of races here; he has incredible history here. I hope this isn’t his turn to win the Daytona 500. “I hope it’s my turn.” That’s a great line, and as it turned out, it WAS McMurray’s turn to win the most prestigious event on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule. But when it’s all said and done, Jamie will be best remembered not for what he said, but for what he couldn’t say, because he was crying too hard. There is a tremendous difference between things we plan to do and things we dream of doing. Plans take on the personality of achievable goals, usually with some sort of deadline attached. “I’m going to have all the laundry done by the end of the day,” for example, or “I’m going to burn off 500 calories before I leave this gym.” Dreams, on the other hand, are where we really cut loose.

Storm await semifinal foe BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Davidson County Community College head coach Matt Ridge doesn’t have to look far to find a motivational tool for his team heading into this weekend’s Region X, Division III Tarheel Conference at Brinkley Gymnasium. Even though the Storm won their conference with a perfect record, climbed into the top-five of the national polls and haven’t lost a game since 2009, all Ridge has to do is bring up how last season ended in the blink of an eye. A year ago, DCCC sat
on the cusp of a Tarheel Conference Tournament title and a possible berth in the national tournament only to see a buzzerbeating 3-pointer end its season. On Friday at 5:30 p.m., the Storm, winners of 18 games in a row, will take their first step towards burying that dreaded memory when they face the winner of Sandhills Community College and Central Carolina Community College in the tournament semifinal. “We’ve mentioned it throughout the season, but we haven’t harped on it,” Ridge said. “This is a new year, a new championship and a new team.
We’ve talked about not getting big-headed. The guys have done well with it to date and I hope that continues.” DCCC’s job is pretty simple — keep winning and the season continues, lose and it’s over with. The Storm are 26-4, including a perfect 10-0 in the Tarheel conference. Two more wins over the weekend and DCCC will play for the District 7 championship on March 6 and a trip to the NJCAA national tournament in Delhi, N.Y. A loss either Friday or Saturday ends the season like the past two — in disappointment.

Grand Canyon. Airplane pilots can fly, but most of them will never set foot on the moon. Many writers can tell great stories, but most of them will never publish a book. And race car drivers can drive, but most of them will never win the Daytona 500. McMurray has established himself as being a very good restrictor plate racer, but he seemed just as surprised by his victory as anyone else, remarking that his wife had asked him earlier in the race week what it would mean for him to win the Daytona 500. He had no answer for her. “I don’t know that I had ever asked myself that question before,� he said. It’s fun to dream big, but on those rare occasions when dreams become reality, it can really knock the wind out of
your sails. It is impossible to predict what any given person’s reaction will be. In McMurray’s case, it was a spectacularly surprising one. One of the best race car drivers in the world, a member of NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series, completely broke down. He fell to his knees and kissed the race logo on the infield grass. He buried his face in a towel in Victory Lane and sobbed. A crowd of seasoned reporters sat in respectful silence in the media room, waiting for him to compose himself as he cried on stage. Under different circumstances, the scene might have provided comic relief for sports shows nationwide, complete with jokes about potential Kleenex sponsorships and such. But the beauty of this particular driver, on this particular day, was that not even the most jaded among us could find anything to laugh about.

Shelby, the No. 1 seed from the South Mountain Athletic Conference, is 22-3 on the year with all three defeats coming at the hands of Freedom High School, including last Friday’s tournament title game. The Lady Lions rebounded from the loss by handing West Stanly a 75-42 beating in their playoff opener. Matrice Sweezy led Shelby
STORM From page 7 Sophomores Reco Geter, Phillip Williams and Eric Potts were all on the team last season, and Ridge said they are sharing that bitter memory with the freshmen in an attempt to avoid another letdown. “The sophomores all understand it’s one-anddone,� said Ridge. “If you lose, that’s it. I told the guys coming back from last year to not forget that loss and use it as motivation to work harder. Those three guys have reminded the freshman to not get big-headed and go finish our season the way we want to. We want to base our season on what we’re getting ready to do.� Regardless of the opponent Friday, Ridge knows his team will have to play well in order to advance. Sandhills led DCCC by 15 points a week ago and CCC stayed close with the Storm in both regular season contests. The key to the DCCC’s success so far has been its balance as seven players average at least nine points on a team that scores 90 a game. “We’re a difficult matchup because we’re so balanced offensively,� Ridge said. “You can’t key in on one or two guys and that works to our advantage. “Both teams will present a major challenge for us and we know we’ll have a big bulls-eye on our chest being 10-0 in the league. We know we’re going to get everybody’s best shot.� Playing at Brinkley Gymnasium should work in the Storm’s favor. In three seasons, DCCC has lost only two games at home. “I think a big part of the credit goes to our fans,�
Because we were all crying right along with him. In terms of sports images, Jamie McMurray’s victory in the Daytona 500 will surely go down in history as one of the most emotional moments of 2010. It was raw, and it was real. And like the magic dust of fairy tales, a little bit of it rubbed off on all of us, because we didn’t just sit back and observe it -- we felt it. I am a huge admirer of Jimmie Johnson, but let’s face it. We have gotten so accustomed to seeing him win that a lot of the thrill is gone. McMurray did us a huge favor on February 14; his behavior served as a reminder of the thing that attracted us to the sport of NASCAR in the first place -- emotion. If tears speak where words fail, he pretty much said it all. What a wonderful moment it was, watching a grown man cry.
with 20 points and Ebony Whitworth added 11. “I know they are similar to us,� said Eddinger. “They have three guards who are pretty good and they are really good shooters. They don’t have a lot of height like us. They sound like a mirror image.� Eddinger said he plans to use the extra day of rest to get his players mentally ready for tonight’s clash. Eddinger feels that whoever gets off to a good start will be in the best position to advance to the third round. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at Shelby High School. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or duke@tvilletimes.com.
said Ridge. “They make it exciting but at the same time a difficult place for our opponents to play. I call them our sixth man and they have certainly helped us win a lot of games. They provide us with a lot of energy.� Tournament play starts today at 5:30 p.m. with the Sandhills/CCC tilt, followed by Caldwell against
Oxford. The winner of the Caldwell/Oxford game plays second-seeded Southwest Virginia in the second semifinal Friday night at 8 p.m. The championship game tips at 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
BASKETBALL East falls at T.W. Andrews A hot-shooting night by T.W. Andrews ended East Davidson’s season Monday night in High Point, as the Red Raiders eliminated the Golden Eagles in the first-round of the 2-A state playoffs with a convincing 90-48 victory. EDHS trailed 53-26 at halftime, and every time the Golden Eagles tried to rally, the Red Raiders, champions of the PAC-6 conference, had an answer of their own. East ends the year at 12-12, notching three more wins than a season ago.
Bulldogs bow out in playoff opener Fresh off a strong run to the Central Carolina Conference tournament final, the Thomasville Bulldogs had momentum heading into the 2-A state playoffs Monday night. Unfortunately, an up and down season for the Bulldogs ended on a sour note as THS fell to Berry Academy, 69-63. The bulldogs finish the season 8-14.

Duke preparing for the gridiron BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald-Sun
DURHAM — Matt Lubick, the son of longtime Colorado State coach Sonny Lubick, has been hired to coach Duke’s wide receivers and to take on the role of recruiting coordinator. Lubick, who spent the past three seasons as assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator at Arizona State, replaces Scottie Montgomery as wide receivers coach after he left earlier in the month for the same position with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lubick also will spell running backs and special teams coach Zac Roper as recruiting coordinator and will carry the title of passing game coordinator. “I am extremely excited about the opportunity I have been given to coach at Duke,” Lubick said in a statement released by the school. “Duke is a special place with great people. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it as a member of Coach Cutcliffe’s staff.” Lubick coached safeties for the Sun Devils, but before that he coached wide receivers from 2001-04 at Colorado State, where his father was head coach from 1993-2007. He then coached the receivers at Ole Miss in 2005-06. On the recruiting front, Lubick is credited with signing linebacker Vontaze Burfict, the highest-rated prospect in Arizona State football history, as well as former Ole Miss standout Dexter McClusker, who in 2009 became the first player in SEC history to amass 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with Matt joining the Duke football family,” Coach David Cutcliffe said. “Number one, he is a good man from an out-
standing football family. I’ve known his father a long time, and Sonny Lubick’s sensational track record in this business speaks for itself. “Matt has proven that he is one of the top young coaches and certainly one of the top recruiters in the country. His knowledge and work ethic will pay dividends for us offensively, especially with our passing schemes. We know him to be a tireless worker and feel he will be an outstanding addition to our program.” Lubick has big shoes to fill. Montgomery, one of the top receivers in Duke history, was the only holdover from former Duke coach Ted Roof ’s staff when Cutcliffe took over two years ago. This past season, he helped the Blue Devils produce three receivers with 50 catches for the first time in school history. “I hate to lose him, and I really appreciate his contributions to the program,” Cutcliffe said. “He has a great love for Duke. It was his first coaching job; it’s the only place he has ever been. “He didn’t pursue that. The Steelers pursued him. I respect him for following a dream.”
NFL Combine convenes Former Duke quarterback Thad Lewis and defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase hope to put their best foot forward and kick-start their draft status at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week. Both will go through four days of intense scrutiny with every NFL team watching. Lewis will report on Thursday with the other quarterbacks; Oghobaase will report with the defensive linemen on Friday. Two UNC and two N.C. State players have been invited to participate as
well: defensive end E.J. Wilson and offensive tackle Kyle Jolly for the Tar Heels, and defensive end Willie Young and center Ted Larsen for the Wolfpack. “I’m looking forward to showing scouts that I am worthy of being drafted,” Oghobaase said. “I have been working hard the last month in workouts so that I can prove I am healthy and my body is in good shape. “Hopefully, everything will fall into place on draft day.” Currently, Oghobaase looks to be a solid bet to be selected toward the back half of the sevenround draft, while Lewis may be drafted or may have to go the free-agent route. The combine, however, can make or break a prospect. “I’m looking forward to it,” Lewis said. “I’m thankful for this chance, and now it’s time to make the most of the opportunity.”
dinator, will take some time for himself in the offseason. “I hope he’s able to rest a little bit; he doesn’t stop much,” Cutcliffe said. “The last 30 minutes of the conversation were about offseason and next year.”
Manning mending Cutcliffe said he had a lengthy phone conversation with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning after his team Zs loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. “I had a long talk with him, probably a good solid hour,” Cutcliffe said. “I think it was probably therapy for both of us. I was frustrated for him. He certainly is a competitor, and it’s a tough thing to go through.” Cutcliffe said he hopes Manning, who played quarterback at Tennessee when Cutcliffe was the Vols’ offensive coor-

Cute and Fierce
Awesome Otters These river otter pups are Asian small-clawed otters, the smallest otter species. Adults might weigh as little as 2 pounds.
Have you ever watched otters playing and swimming at a zoo or aquarium? People often feel happy after watching otters play. The Mini Page takes a closer look at this bright, fun and fierce animal.
A family of smelly fighters Otters come from the same family as weasels, polecats, mink, badgers and wolverines. Badger Most of these mustelids Mink (MUS-tuhlids) give off Wolverine powerful smells. Members of this family produce strong-smelling odors to mark their territory, attract mates and defend themselves. Sea otters don’t do this, but river otters do. They are also great hunters and strong fighters.

Two branches of the family tree There are two types of otters — sea otters and river, or freshwater, otters. Here are some of their differences:
River otters:
s LIVE ONLY IN THE SEA 4HEY USUALLY live about a half-mile from the shore, where the water is about 45 to 90 feet deep. They don’t live in the deep ocean. s SPEND ALMOST EVERY MINUTE OF their lives in the water. Alaska otters go onshore to find clams in the mud. Sea otters sleep, mate and have their young in the sea.
s CAN LIVE IN OR NEAR ANY FRESHWATER source, including rivers, streams, rice paddies and lakes. They can even live in partly salty water, such as canals. s SPEND ABOUT THREE FOURTHS OF THEIR time on land. They mate in water and get most of their food from the water.

Sea otters:
Otters, such as these river otters, are unpredictable. They can be playful one minute and scary and mean-looking the next.
The three species, or types, of sea otters are about as big as a medium-size dog. Males can reach 100 pounds. Females might weigh from 40 to 50 pounds.
There are 13 different species of river otters. They range in size from 2 to 20 pounds.

Although there is still a small population off the coast of 2USSIA THERE ARE ONLY TWO LARGE COLONIES LEFT NEAR #ALIFORNIA AND Alaska. In the 1800s, hunters killed nearly all sea otters for their thick fur. Although it is now illegal to hunt them, their numbers have not bounced back. The several thousand sea otters left are considered to be threatened. Pollution, lower food supplies and habitat loss are now their biggest Sea otters live near kelp. threats.

Sea otters often float on their backs. Sea otters’ hind paws have webbed flippers to help them swim. Their front paws are built mainly for grasping objects. Their normal swimming style is like dog paddling. If they need to swim fast, they tuck their front limbs next to their sides so they are shaped like missiles.
Kelp forests
Fabulous fur
Kelp, a large seaweed, is important to their habitat. Otters wrap in it to anchor themselves during a storm or while they’re sleeping. Moms wrap their young in it to keep them from floating away while the mother hunts for food. Otters are a keystone, or central, species in kelp forests. Sea urchins eat kelp, and otters eat urchins. Kelp forests house food for animals such as eagles, otters and fish.
Sea otters have the most dense, or thickly packed, hair of any mammal, with about 150,000 hairs per square inch. The thick fur keeps water from wetting their skin and insulates, or keeps them warm. A thin layer of air under their coats also helps. They are the only sea mammal that does not have a layer of blubber for warmth. Sea otters have to groom themselves constantly to prevent their fur from getting matted and less effective as insulation. They continually blow air into their fur. from The Mini Page Š 2010 Universal Uclick

More About Otters Family life
River otter communication
2IVER AND SEA OTTERS BOTH EAT SHELLFISH AND OTHER FISH 2IVER OTTERS might also eat small land animals such as rodents, birds or snakes. Sea otters are one of the few animals that use tools. They find rocks at the bottom of the sea and use them to crack open clams and OTHER SHELLFISH %XPERTS BELIEVE TOOL use is a sign of intelligence. Sea otters are very active and need a huge amount of food. The activity AND EXTRA FOOD HELP TO KEEP THEM warm. The father sea otter does not help raise the young. The mother has to hunt a lot of food for herself and her pup. A sea otter usually has only one pup at a time. The river otter dad does help raise the pups, and the family unit is very strong. Family members curl together on land at night. Males and females stay together after they have mated.
2IVER OTTERS ARE VERY SOCIAL 4HEY have about 12 different vocalizations, or meaningful sounds. Throughout the day, they trade calls. The most common are chirping calls to say, h(I ) M OVER HERE v They also have threatening calls that sound like a cat in a fight.

2IVER OTTERS HAVE WEBBING THAT goes about one-quarter of the way up their paws. When they swim, they do a type of dog paddle. They are shaped like big footballs, which makes them naturally streamlined. When they are gliding, they use their flat tail like a rudder in a boat, swinging their tails back and forth like a shark to help them balance. 2IVER OTTERS CAN SIT UPRIGHT USING their tails to balance.
Threats
The Mini Page thanks Kellie Lehman and Craig Lyford, animal care specialists, SeaWorld, San Diego, for help with this issue.
Freshwater otters are considered to be vulnerable (between threatened and endangered). Their biggest threats are pollution and loss of habitat. They hide and nest in tall grasses, and when these are cut down for farming, they have no place to be safe and raise families.
