Course to cover early childhood parenting

Filing ends for 2010 election

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Parents usually remember those first-time jitters, the moment the little baby, newly wrapped, is placed into waiting arms and the realization strikes — now comes the hard part.

Parenting children of any age can present a daunting task, but new parents often face a seemingly more terrifying prospect of raising a baby for the first time. To help allay these fears, Fairgrove Family Resource Center will offer its first parenting class focusing on early childhood, Early Childhood STEP — Systematic Training for Effective Parenting of Children Under Six. “I have had parents who are brand new, and they’re concerned, they’re nervous,” said Fairgrove Executive Director Terri Nelson. “They want to make sure they raise their children in the right way. I just felt like we had a hole in our services — this helped fill that gap.”

The class, which looks at children from birth to age 6, will begin Thursday, March 4, and lasts seven weeks, ending on the eighth week with a celebration night. Each lesson will include a free meal at 6 p.m. and childcare. The actual class begins at 6:45 p.m.

In a video-style learning environment, parents will follow along with a study guide to lessons designed to teach about misbehavior, how to deal with misbehavior and how to handle childhood challenges like temper tantrums and potty training.

YMCA honors one of founders

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer On a night when the Tom A. Finch Community YMCA named its yearly award winners, the organization honored one its founding fathers.

Johnny Thomason received the YMCA’s Honorary Lifetime Membership award for helping bring the non-profit community service organization to Thomasville nearly 40 years ago. Thomason not only played a key role in getting the Chair City its own YMCA location, but he also was a driving force in the construction of the home office at 1010 Mendenhall St. “[Thomason] has helped us in many ways that most people are not aware of,” said Stan Styers, former executive director of the Tom A. Finch YMCA. “What I appreciate more than anything is that he has always been a sounding board for all of us. His input from day one has always been highly valued.”

Thomason said the vision for

Several years passed before a charter was granted and when it finally happened, Thomason said “we didn’t have a wall to hang it on.”

The YMCA started out in a vacant office on the second floor of the state commercial bank building downtown. Eventually,

the YMCA moved to the national armory building as plans for constructing a new facility took shape.

“We didn’t need money, we need facilities,” Thomason said.

“We used the armory’s parking lot for little league baseball. It

With candidacy filings finally at an end, County Commissioner hopefuls are gearing up for the May primaries.

As of Friday afternoon, 11 Republican and four Democrat candidates had filed for the four vacant County Commissioner seats, each with the hope to better serve the community.

For Lexington resident Jason Hedrick — who filed as a Democrat — that community aspect forms the basis for his motivation to run. Owner of Hedrick Creative Building, the contractor just finished working on the extreme home for Extreme Makeover — Home Edition.

“It was great to see the community come together,” he said. “I just wanted to be able to continue to help and maybe spur some growth in the Davidson County area.”

Though never before involved in politics, Hedrick said his work in commercial building has given him experience working with other people to make decisions and strike compromises.

“I’ve had to deal with a lot of people in a lot of different committees,” he said.

With a fair and honest approach to government in mind, Hedrick said he hopes to not only continue infrastructure growth in terms of education and sewer lines, but also bring more businesses into the county.

“The county commissioners are a key element in promoting Davidson County and promoting business and growth in

Academy Eye Center named February Business of the Month

BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

As February draws to a close, Academy Eye Center in Thomasville celebrates its final days as the City Beautification Committee’s Business of the Month.

Business of the Month, a City Beautification Committee tradition since the ‘90s, hinges on a company’s work to increase the aesthetics of its property, such as landscaping or structural renovations.

“We try to pick one that has done

at least some type of improvement to its place,” said Carol Brown, chair of the committee.

Academy Eye Center caught the committee’s attention because it remodeled an office at Southgate Shopping Center, converting it into a more modernized facility.

“It’s very open and everything,” Brown said. “It’s a nice feel.”

Christi Stevenson, secretary for Academy Eye Center, said the old center had an ‘80s and ‘90’s style to the decor, while the new facility is much more up-to-date.

“Dr. Pope’s office — it was old, it

was outdated,” Stevenson said. “So was the other office that we had.

Here, it’s a whole lot fresher-looking.”

Part of the motivation for the renovation was Academy Eye Center’s merger with a partner company, Eye Care Clinic of Thomasville.

Both businesses decided to start fresh with a brand new location.

“We kind of grew as a family for two years before we came together as one,” Stevenson said.

Though pleasantly taken aback

Students are eligible to begin kindergarten in the fall if they will be 5 years of age on or before Aug. 31, 2010.

At the time of kindergarten registration, students will be scheduled for a pre-kindergarten assessment so teachers will have information about students for planning purposes before school begins in the fall. A conference will be held with each parent on the day of the assessment.

The following is needed for enrollment: A copy of the child’s birth certificate or other legally acceptable proof of age; A health assessment completed no more than 12 months prior to the date of school entry; Proof of required immunizations; The child’s social security card.

Proof of residency may include: Legal guardian’s driver’s license with 911 address; Voter registration or tax listing with 911 address; Utility bill at 911 address.

“What they learn, hopefully, they try to apply each week between class, and we then discuss it the following week,�

Nelson said. “It is hands on because it is something they can learn and apply.�

The class also covers various developmental stages children go through as they grow from birth to toddler to 6years-old, which gives parents an idea of what to expect in terms of behavior. “It helps them have realistic goals for their kids,� Nelson said.

With a discussion portion inserted into the lesson, parents also have an opportunity to interact and share experiences. Parents with children on the older end of the age range can tell parents with infants and toddlers how they handled certain things, and parents with children the same age can bounce ideas off each other. “So much of the time parents can learn more from each other than they can, honestly, from any educationalbased class,� Nelson said. “They’re all facing the same challenges every day.�

Though children will react differently depending on personality, and often times many solutions exist to success-

In 1971, the land on Mendenhall Street was donated to the YMCA, freeing Thomason and others up to start raising money for the building. “I have and always will feel that the YMCA is the best deal in town,� said Thomason. “I appreciate this honor.�

The whole goal of the parenting class is to teach the parents skills so that when they’re frustrated or they’re at the end of their rope, they have a method to use.�

Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 888-3576, or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com

Award. Hyde serves on the YMCA’s board as treasurer and finance committee chairman. “We are very fortunate to have him on our team,�

Tommy Hodges, chief executive officer, said of Hyde. “He has a can-do attitude and a general concern for this community.�

Thurston Bowman served the YMCA for more than 30 years and the award symbolizes dedication beyond the call of duty.

In one of the lighter moments of the evening, Martha Burrow was named the YMCA’s Sparkplug Award winner for her commitment to making life better for others. Burrow was escorted to the podium by board member Ron Jones and Nancy Whitman, who were doing their best Black-eyed Peas impersonation.

Sara Faulkner received the Chairperson’s Award and Sebastian Tilson was named the winner of the Youth Leadership Award for volunteering 20 hours a week to the YMCA last summer.

Thomasville Medical Center garnered the Community Partnership Award for programs like Keeping Thomasville Strong. Jane Wilder and Tom Doyle accepted the award for TMC. The sports coaching awards went to Mitch Gales for basketball, Brian Butler for spring soccer, Pat Morin for baseball, Victor Finlay for fall soccer and Patrick Resse for service to youth.

FILING From page A1 Davidson County,� he said. “Even if it’s 10 or 20 jobs, it’s more than we have. If we can continue to grow, we will be able to attract some larger businesses, also.�

Eric Osborne, a Republican from Thomasville, has also focused his attention on developing the business sector. “I’ve got good customer service skills,� the FedEx delivery driver said. “I can bring good companies in and show them that Davidson County’s the place to be.�

A recreational follower of politics for years, Osborne said friends and neighbors first suggested he run for government.

He tried for commissioner in 2006 but lost the race.

Osborne said the main reason he decided to run this time was because he was unhappy with the current Board of Commissioners. “I think it’s time for a change in management,� he said.

Like other candidates, Osborne said his motivation to be commissioner was to serve the community. But he has one quality that sets him apart from the crowd — he said he won’t accept a pay check. “I plan on relinquishing my pay or donating it to local charity,� he said.

On the other side of the coin, some incumbents have chosen to re-run because they feel optimistic about various programs

the Board still has in progress. “We’ve got a whole lot of things going on, things I’ve been involved in, and I wanted to continue on,� said Don Truell, a Republican from Thomasville.

While Truell admitted that every politician will list education and economy as main goals, he said that education has been a huge part of his time as commissioner. “These upcoming four years, we’re going to have to build two more new schools,� said the commissioner of eight years. “I want to be a part of that.

We’ve built more schools over the past eight years while I’ve been there than we’ve ever done.�

Also on Truell’s agenda is a transportation plan that includes fixed bus stops in Thomasville and Lexington as well as a bus system to connect Davidson County with the surrounding counties.

After all of his political experience — Thomasville mayor before his eight years as commissioner, and Thomasville City Council member before that — Truell said he is excited to continue to serve his county. “I think the main thing that I’m real proud of is

that we’ve done all these things and still kept the tax rate to a minimum,� he said. “We try to use bond money and these types of things, but I won’t vote for a tax increase because too many people are out of work.�

8 things you shouldn’t buy new

BY MARY HUNT Advice Columnist

There are a number of things I never would consider purchasing secondhand because of the creepiness factor.

Sorry, but I just couldn’t do it. That list, however, is quite short. Now more than ever, the vast secondary market in this country is loaded to the gills with great bargains on things that are just like new. — Time shares. Most people I know who own time shares regret having purchased them new. No wonder. They are guaranteed to lose 30 to 70 percent of their value right off the bat. If you are convinced that a time share is for you, buy it used as a resale.

According to TimeSharesUSAResales.com — a site that deals in the secondary time share market — you will save an average of 67 percent off the new price. — Pets. Buy a purebred puppy from a breeder in California and you will spend at least $700, plus vet bills. Adopt a previously owned puppy from the animal shelter for about $175, including spaying/neutering,

Obama embraces Nixonomics

BY STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Barack Obama has often modeled his policies on Franklin Roosevelt. Lately, though, he’s been coming across more as Richard Nixon Lite.

In 1971, fed up with the steady rise of wages and prices, Nixon had a big idea: Attack inflation by imposing strict controls on wages and prices. A federal board was created to establish guidelines and enforce compliance, on the assumption that government officials were wise enough to decide the correct price for millions of products and the right wage for millions of workers.

The main result was to prove the folly of such intervention. Nixon’s own chief economist, Herbert Stein, admitted that the administration eventually had to give up because the program was “a total disaster.” Among the unwanted side effects: “Cattle were being withheld from market, chickens were drowned, and the food store shelves were being emptied.”

Motorists had to wait in line for hours to buy gasoline. At one point, Americans faced a nationwide shortage of toilet paper. Yes, toilet paper. Oh, and the inflation rate didn’t fall. It rose.

So how does Obama intend to make health insurance affordable? He wants the federal government to regulate premiums from coast to coast. He unveiled the proposal shortly after a California company owned

by WellPoint raised charges on some individual policies by as much as 39 percent.

Obama will not stand for it.

Under his plan, says the White House, “if a rate increase is unreasonable and unjustified, health insurers must lower premiums, provide rebates, or take other actions to make premiums affordable.”

I have a better idea. If a rate increase is unreasonable and unjustified, customers can head for greener pastures.

Among the several dozen competing insurers in California, some presumably will leap at the chance to grab their business. If other companies decline to offer lower rates, however, it’s a surefire sign that the increase is both reasonable and justified.

The administration thinks WellPoint has no reason to raise prices because it had billions in profits last year.

But the company says it lost money on individual policies in California, because medical prices rose and many customers dropped their coverage, leaving the company with a sicker and more expensive clientele.

Obama may fantasize that

WellPoint will keep furnishing its product forever while stoically swallowing losses.

It’s more likely to devise ways to curtail benefits, make it harder for applicants to qualify and raise the hassle factor so unprofitable customers go elsewhere. If things get bad enough, it can abandon the market -- leaving consumers to pay the low rate of nothing while also getting nothing.

Such ostentatiously noble but naive schemes are becoming the pattern in Obama’s economic policy. A law he signed last year regulating credit card companies, which took effect this week, was supposed to save consumers huge sums. But it has suffered a bruising collision with the real world.

The Associated Press reports that in recent months, “credit card companies jacked up interest rates, created new fees and cut credit lines,” while shutting down many accounts entirely. The law, says AP, “has helped make it more difficult for millions of Americans to get credit, and made that credit more expensive.”

This administration, like Nixon’s, has also elected to override the private sector when it comes to setting pay scales. Last year, attacking Wall Street bonuses as “shameful” and “obscene,” Obama issued an order limiting executive pay to $500,000 a year at companies getting taxpayer help. He even appointed a pay czar to decide compensation for managers in that sector.

His approach presumes the government can deduce the correct level and structure of pay for hundreds of jobs in a complex industry. It can’t, any more than it can know the correct price for gasoline or toilet paper. That’s the function of markets, which adjust as needed to keep supply and demand in balance.

When the government starts fixing wages or prices, it practically guarantees economic malfunctions. Not to mention that it deprives citizens of the right to choose the terms on which they are willing to do business with each other, which happens to be a key to liberty as well as prosperity.

All this is bound to end in tears. Obama has forgotten the lesson of Nixon’s experiment: You can tell a farmer what to charge for a chicken. But you can’t keep him from drowning the bird.

Remembering Thomasville THIS-N-THATS

LARRY MURDOCK Guesst Columnist Ramona Mitchell recently shared a letter with me that was written by Steve Nobllitt, a Thomasville native and son of the late Dr. Jack and Margaret Noblitt. The letter was actually written by Steve in December 1996, a few days after his father’s funeral.

Steve’s mother, Margaret, passed away in April of 1988.

In the opening of the letter, Steve wrote that it was just a surge of emotion that inspired the thoughts in his letter. He indicated that one sobering realization was that his home-base in Thomasville was now gone. He wrote: “I was born in Thomasville in 1951 and reared by wonderful parents, but also by a town, that in that day, took care of its own.”

He indicated that he “had many conversations with his close friends from Thomasville and they all realize that his age group really grew up in a special time and a great place.” Steve referred to downtown Thomasville and recalls McClellan’s, Roses and Belk’s. He also made mention of how he and his brother John were drawn to the backs of the “dime” stores where the live baby chicks and fish were kept. He also recalls that he and John were embarrassed that the white people and colored people had separate toilets and water fountains in those stores.

Steve remembers as a young boy, proudly marching in those “itchy uniforms” from Mann’s Drug Parking Lot, down Main Street to Doak Park on opening day of Little League baseball season.

Steve also recalled his Sunday School teachers at Memorial UMC who taught him about love, respect and salvation. He also vividly recalls the name of Eva Kirk-

man who was principal at Kern Street School.

Like most of us, he recalled that terrible March in 1960 when it snowed every Wednesday causing school to be closed for 17 straight days. There were snowball fights, building igloos and forts, sledding in Memorial Park as well as original games they played and some that they invented. He indicated that “Hot Chocolate” was a treat as well.

Recalling his childhood days as a resident of Wallcliff Park, Steve wrote, “we had so many kids in our neighborhood that were about the same age, we always had the numbers for football, basketball, baseball or a game that we called “chase” where we divided into two groups and one group would go hide and the other would come find them.” Steve indicated that his favorite hiding place was on a telephone pole in the Crowder’s yard or under a stack of lumber at Reed Supply.

He remembers that the football team had to sleep in the gymnasium those hot summer nights getting ready for another “Bulldog” football season as well as having the “proms” in the decorated school cafeteria while dances after the football game were held in the Memorial Park Swimming Pool Bathhouse.

Steve spent his summers working in the Amazon Cotton Mill which he described as “My best and most lasting learning experience.”

The Thomasville that we really grew up in was a great place and a special time. I’m happy that it struck so many folks as their experience also.

Steve’s final comments were: “I am thankful for the parents that raised me and loved me and I appreciate having grown up in Thomasville. Thanks T’ville, and I’ll see you at Tommy’s Barbecue.”

Footnote: Steve Noblitt lives in Asheville with Leigh, his wife of 36 years; they have two grown sons, one daughter in law, one granddaughter, and are expecting a grandson, due in April. Steve is retired from the N.C. Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (32 years), and is currently involved in a couple of business ventures, and travels as much as possible.

In the last “This-N-That” I mentioned a book I had checked out at the Public Library. It is entitled “Images of America — “Davidson County” and bears the name of “Ray Howell, Davidson County Historical Museum.”

It referred to John H. Mills as founder of Mills Home in November 1885 but it also referred to a young girl who was staying at the orphanage, Rena Baucom. On her death bed, Rena bequeathed her total wealth of .25 cents to the Central Building which housed the school, church and administrative offices. Mills Home officials at that time dedicated the furnishings in the Central Building in her memory.

I recommend the book to you. It is full of photographs and information. I must admit that I have not visited the museum but I plan to visit soon. The Museum is located in Lexington at the old Courthouse on the square. Hours are 10 am until 4 p.m, Tuesday through Saturday and on the first Sunday of each month from 2 until 4 p.m.

••• I appreciated Kellie Rabon’s “Letter to the Editor” in Thursday’s Times. Kellie is a Meals on Wheels”volunteer on Route 6. This is the same route Gayle and I serve. Kellie referred to the recent death of Doris Hepler. We too, found Ms.Hepler to be a sweet lady and always “wearing a smile.” We will miss her.

Meals on Wheels can still use volunteers to assist in “Meal” deliveries. If interested, you may contact Jackie Moore at Citrin & Whitman, 476-3158.

••• The Amazing Cucumber (Part II) Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror ... It will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

••• Laugh a little every day.

There’s always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example, I am sitting here right now thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.

Lady Eagles state title run dashed by Shelby

BY ROB HUNTER Times Correspondent SHELBY — East Davidson High School was trying to do something that only one other team has managed to do this year — beat Shelby High School. The Lady Golden Eagles almost succeeded but came up short in the second round of the 2A playoffs, losing to the Golden Lions, 75-59, in Shelby after rallying from a 23-point deficit to draw within five late in the game.

Shelby has lost three games this year but they have all been to the same team — Freedom High,

the No. 2 ranked 3A squad in the state.

The Lady Golden Lions opened the game employing a box and one gimmick defense on playmaker Candace Fox, helping Shelby raced out to a 15-0 lead. EDHS did not score until it hit a free throw with just under three minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Shelby Coach Cal Pass had scouted the Golden Eagles and knew that Fox was the key to the Eagle’s success. The Lady Golden Lions keyed on Fox and constantly ran fresh players in

to guard her.

“We called around and we knew that as Fox goes so goes East,” Pass said. “We put our best player on her” EDHS Coach Brian Eddinger agreed that the defense took its toll on his senior guard.

“We have seen that defense before but not by a team as athletic as Shelby ,” said Eddinger.

East trailed 19-6 at the end of the first quarter and 40-22 by halftime. Shelby came out strong at the start of the third quarter, stretching the lead to 23 as the

game looked like it might be headed for a blowout. Midway through the third quarter, East started its comeback. A Fox 3pointer and back-to-back three pointers by Haley Grimsley ignited a furious rally as the Golden Eagles cut the lead to nine at the end of the third.

Grimsley made a steal to start the fourth quarter and Stacy Hicks hit consecutive 3s, cutting the deficit to only five with six minutes to go. East had a chance to trim it to three with six minutes left, but a Fox, who fouled out on a questionable charge call

Brian Vickers hopes to return to Victory Lane in his No. 82 Red Bull car Saturday at the Shelby American 400 in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS — The number 15 carries special significance for driver No. 82 entering Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Scott Speed’s average finish in the two races this season is 15.0. He ranks 15th in driver points and 15th owner points. And he’s led 15 laps. Those digits reflect just how far the 27-year-old Speed has come in his second season in NASCAR’s premier series. At this point one

year ago — after races at Daytona and California — Speed barely sniffed a top-30 finish in the running order or in points, and he had a goose egg in the laps led category.

“These last two weeks have been a great, refreshing start for us,” Speed said. “We need to carry that momentum into the next few races to be well in the top 35 and never have to look back at that again.”

Tips for avoiding Seasonal Affective Disorder OFF THE PORCH

DICK JONES Outdoor Columnist

I simply don’t remember a winter any more hostile than this one.

Sure, we’ve had colder blasts but they’ve been fairly short in duration with some warm weather interspersed to give us some relief.

I think I’m starting to get SAD — Seasonal Affective Disorder.

The good news is that this winter will soon be over. March is just around the corner and that means the fishing is not far behind. This week, I got out the tackle bag and started looking at my Hickory shad fishing gear. There are all kinds of things I need to do to get ready and so I’m setting up a card table in the sun room to get ready. (One of the causes of SAD is a lack

of sufficient light).

Respooling fishing reels is a first priority. Last year, I started using braid on my ultra lights for shad fishing and I don’t think I’ll be using anything else this year. Braid is not only stronger for the diameter, it’s incredibly sensitive as well.

The amount of stretch is what deprives mono of sensitivity and braid has about 10 percent as much stretch as mono of the same weight.

Some of the braids are much better than others and the best I’ve found is Berkley Fireline Fused. It’s a little larger diameter than the unfused lines but it ties better and won’t bury in the spool when you pressure a big fish, a big problem with the unfused lines. The ten pound Fireline Fused has the diameter of four pound mono so you can get a lot of strong line on a small spool.

The strength and amount you can get on a spool makes a big difference, too. Last year, towards the end of the striper season, Dan Yates was fishing with me and we decided to fish a fast, really rocky section of

the Roanoke. We decided the bullet weights we’d been using in less rocky, deeper water would probably get hung up on the bottom. I had a couple of ultra light rods spooled with Fused Crystal in the boat with split shot on them. We rigged them up figuring they’d be fine since the biggest stripers we’d been catching were under five pounds.

Dan wound up boating a 16-pound striper on that tiny rod and reel with equally tiny line. Braid costs a little more but I’d wager that fish would never have made it in the boat on the six pound mono I’ve been using.

There are some tricks to using braid. One problem is that it’ll slip on the spool. You have to have some way to stick the line to the spool or the whole line will spin on the spool with a heavy load like Dan’s big striper. I use duct tape and, once I’ve tied the line on, I tape it in place with a uniform section of tape. The tape must be uniformly applied or there’ll be a lump in the spool under it.

Another trick is the knots are harder to tie.

For terminal knots, I use

a Palomar. It’s a little harder to tie than my normal clinch but only because I’ve tied about a million clinch knots in my life. The line is also much more limp so getting the loop to open up can be a problem when you have old eyes.

I still believe you give up a higher percentage of knot strength with braid but the line is so much stronger for the diameter, you’re still ahead of the game.

For joining braid to mono, I learned a little trick from Captain Ralph Allen of the Kingfisher Fleet in Punta Gorda, Florida last year. Joining two different lines is always difficult and, over the years, I’ve come to rely on the simple surgeons knot.

Ralph taught me to tie a triple surgeons when mating braid to mono and it really works.

Of course, there are other things that need attention like checking the guides on all your rods to make sure the ceramic isn’t chipped.

Chipped guides will fray your line and can cost you the fish of a lifetime. Drags on the reel should be checked

the windows of the sun room and maybe it was spending some time cleaning up my tackle bag and spooling reels but I’m feeling better.

By the way, I just looked up the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, they’re listed as: afternoon slumps with decreased energy and concentration, carbohydrate cravings, decreased interest in work or other activities, increased appetite with weight gain, increased sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness lack of energy, slow, sluggish, lethargic movement, and social withdrawal. Maybe it’s not the winter, maybe I’m just getting old.

teammates spotting up at the 3-point line.”

Williams, who scored 20 of his game-high 32 points in the first half, injured his left knee after shooting a pair of free throws with nine seconds remaining the first half, but did return.

“Phillip is a warrior,” Ridge said. “I had no idea he scored 32 points. He also held one of the best players in the league, Travis Jackson, to just 12 points.”

DCCC opened the second half out-scoring the Cougars 8-2 to build a 20-point advantage. Eric Potts answered a 3-point play from Perkins with two quick buckets, including a two-handed jam for a 59-38 Storm lead. DCCC appeared ready to blow out CCCC, but the Cougars seemed to get a turnover or 3-pointer to keep the game within reach.

CCCC closed the gap to 12 a few times but never managed to get the deficit under double-figures.

Reco Geter’s 3-pointer with 56 seconds remaining all but ended things.

“We did have some silly turnovers,” Ridge said.

“I thought we did a good job sharing the ball. Basketball is a game of runs.

They made a lot of contested 3s, and I can live with those. What I can’t live with is a lack of concentration on either end [of the floor].”

Geter finished with 20 points and Glover added 16 despite foul trouble.

Hunt posted a doubledouble with 11 points and

to make sure they’re smooth and working well. A little lube can make the difference between a day of dealing with an aggravation or a perfect day of fishing.

While you can’t do it on a table in the sunroom, your boat needs attention, too. Every spring, you should check your water impeller and check to make sure the engine is running properly after setting up all winter. The swill they call gas these days will stop up your carburetor faster than you can say “big bill at the boat shop.” While it’s a little late now, you should have put Stabil stabilizer in your gas last fall. The problem is the new fuels have ethanol in them and the ethanol reacts with condensation in carburetors and creates a gummy substance that stops up small passages like the jets. One tip is to use premium gas in your boat, there’s less ethanol in it.

The best thing about this kind of activity is it reminds us that winter isn’t going to last forever and puts us thinking about the fun stuff to come. Maybe it was the sun coming in through

SPORTS CURVE From page B1 that guarantees a team a starting spot in the upcoming race regardless of its qualifying position, has been a hurdle that the No. 82 Red Bull Toyota team has yet to overcome.

For three more races, NASCAR will revert back to the final 2009 owner points, where the No. 82 ranked 36th. But as long as Speed continues to show the consistency he’s displayed so far this season, the top 35 won’t be an issue come the sixth race March 28 at Martinsville.

“We made a lot of progress in the off-season,” Speed said. “(Crew chief) Jimmy Elledge and the guys have worked so hard. What’s cool for me is how much I’ve learned.

When I’m out there doing stuff, I’m like, ‘Man, I felt so dumb last year because I’m taking stuff for granted now.’ I’m just learning with time and experience, and that makes the whole process easier.”

Speed’s coming off an 11th-place finish in Sunday’s race at Auto Club Speedway — his

RUN From page B1 with two minutes to go, had a floater in the lane rim out, starting a Shelby parade to the foul line. The Lady Lions hit 15-of-15 free throws in the fourth quarter and some timely offensive rebounds in the last few minutes put the game away for good.

Eddinger was very proud that his team did not quit.

“I am so proud of the girls,” Eddinger said.

best performance in a race without restrictor plates. Couple that with a 19th-place showing in the season-opening Daytona 500, and Speed has backto-back top-20 finishes for the first time in his career. He’s also never been higher in points.

“We know we need this year to go better than last, but I didn’t think we would have this good of a start,” Speed said.

“I aimed for a top-15 last weekend, and we got it.

We legitimately ran in the top 10 for the last half of the race, once we got track position.

“For this being the beginning of my second year, I’m really, really happy.”

It was No. 83 driver and Thomasville native Brian Vickers who followed Speed across the finish line at Auto Club Speedway. He finished 12th, and coming off a 15thplace run in the Daytona 500, Vickers sits 14th in points. Entering Las Vegas one year ago, Vickers ranked 26th.

“Scott has a year of track time under his belt now. The 82 team as a whole has progressed and learned to work together

better,” Vickers said.

“They showed progress at the end of 2009 and it has transitioned early into this season. It’s only two races into the year, but he has run up front and led some laps. That’s always a confidence booster and that can hopefully translate into more improved runs for him.”

Speed’s lone trip to 1.5mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway came last year, and it was a weekend of perseverance. He practiced and qualified poorly (48th of 51 cars), and the team immediately changed engines. In the race, Speed finished 21st after going a lap down early, getting it back and then losing it again. Vickers encountered the same trouble last season at Las Vegas. The No. 83 team, too, changed engines and went to the back before Vickers finished eighth.

It was his best finish in five starts there.

proud of my team and my seniors. Stacy is by far our best defensive player.

She takes charges. She does the dirty work. She is fun to coach. Candace is so unselfish.”

Grimsley, who scored her 1000th career point in the game, agreed.

“This year has been great,” said an emotional Grimsley. “I have great teammates that gave 100 percent. I could not be prouder.”

Fox finished with seven points and four steals.

Grimsley led the team with 16 points, including four 3s. Hicks scored 10 of her 15 points in the

fourth quarter, junior Taylor Hallman added 14 points and Taylor Alexander chipped in seven.

Shelby posted five players in double figures.

Notes: East finishes the season at 21-6. Fox has a full scholarship to Belmont Abbey. Catawba Valley Community College had a representative there scouting Hicks and Grimsley. Despite being over two hours away, Golden Eagle nation actually had more fans in attendance than the home team.

“We always travel well,” Eddinger said. “Our fans are great.”

Saturday’s Sam’s Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The 2003 series champion opened the season with a fifth-place finish at Daytona and followed that up with an eighth at California. In four Nationwide starts at Las Vegas, Vickers owns a pole (March 2008) and one top-five finish (February 2009). After Las Vegas, Vickers doesn’t return to Nationwide action until the April 24 race at Talladega.

Tar Heels look to keep NIT hopes alive

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — After all the injuries that have struck North Carolina this season, it’s no surprise the first thing Coach Roy Williams noticed when looking over the scouting report for today’s game at Wake Forest (2 p.m., WRAL) was how many games each Demon Deacon has played.

“I look at Wake’s stats, and the first thing that sticks out at me?” Williams said. “They’ve played 25 game. [AlFarouq] Aminu’s played 25, Ish [Smith] has played 25, C.J. [Harris has] played 25, L.D. [Williams] played 25, [Chas] McFarland’s played 25, [Ari] Stewart’s played 25, Tony [Woods] played 25 and David [Weaver] played 25.”

And while none of the top eight players for the Demon Deacons (18-7, 8-5 ACC) has missed a game, eight Tar Heels have missed a combined 28 games. That number could become 29, as freshman Travis Wear, who has missed the past five games with a sprained left ankle, is questionable for today’s game.

“It’s been mind boggling, but it’s what it is,” Williams said.

Williams repeatedly has said the injuries are no excuse for UNC’s poor play, but he also admits that having a few more healthy bodies would produce more consistent play on the court.

The Tar Heels (14-14, 3-10 ACC) have struggled both offensively and defensively as they have lost seven of the past eight and enter today’s game hoping to stay in the hunt for an NIT bid. The NIT has not taken team with a losing record in the past four years.

With three regular-season games remaining — today at Wake Forest, against Miami at home on Tuesday and at Duke on March 6 — the margin of error becomes smaller and smaller for the Tar Heels, but Williams said he still believes his team can finish with a winning record.

“I have confidence in my team,” Williams said.

“At times, we do some nice things, and at times we screw up everything.

We can take chocolate pudding and make it into mud, but it is something that we can play well at times. So what we’ve got to do is get some more consistency with that.”

The Tar Heels have said its been a challenge keeping their heads up over the past few weeks, and sophomore Tyler Zeller said it has been tough trying to stay positive.

“Every day, you’ve got to come out and play for the love of the game,” Zeller said. “But at the same time, you’re not winning, so it is difficult at times. But you’ve just got to find a positive and keep going with it.”

Zeller said the positive he has been concentrating on is getting back to 100 percent after missing 10 games with a stress fracture in his right foot.

The 7-0 forward missed UNC’s previous game against Wake Forest, an 82-69 loss at the Smith Center on Jan. 20, and his presence should help the Tar Heels against Aminu, the ACC’s leading rebounder (11 rpg).

Glover named Player of the Week TIMES STAFF REPORT

But even though Wake is one of the top rebounding teams in the conference, the perimeter is where the Demon Deacons hurt the Tar Heels the most, as they made 9 of 16 3-pointers and guards Harris and Smith scored 20 points apiece.

“I think Ish still sets the table; he runs the show,” Williams said. “He’s the one that you have to be concerned about slowing down.

“Aminu’s having a great year, but he was having a great year when they played us the last time. I think that he’s all-conference kind of material.

I think he’s having that kind of year. They have so many pieces that they can change up front. … I just think they’re really a solid club.”

Justin Glover, a 6’2” guard from Siler City, had a high scoring week for the No. 5 ranked Davidson County Community College Storm and is the Division III player of the week. On Feb. 15, in a 95-56 DCCC win over Piedmont Baptist College, Glover scored 30 points on 13-of-21 from the floor, 2-of-3 from beyond the 3-point line, and two-for-two from the foul line. He also contributed in the game by pulling down nine rebounds, dishing out three assists, and was a menace on defense, recording seven steals and two blocks. Three days later, in a close 94-92 win over Sandhills Community College, the freshman scored 24 points on 9-of-22 from the field and pulled down 11 rebounds with fvie steals. The next night, in a 119-96 win over Carolina Prep Academy, Glover dropped 33 points on 13-of-19 from the field, including 2-of-5 from 3-point land. Glover also had six rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block. For the week he averaged 29 points per game on 56 percent shooting (35-62), 40 percent from downtown (6-15), 69 percent from the line (11-16), and also averaged 8.7 boards (26), three assists (9), five steals (15), and one block (3).

DCCC offers artists workshop TIMES STAFF REPORT

Artists interested in “putting their art to work” will have the opportunity to learn skills to establish successful businesses and market their art in a series of workshops to be offered through the Small Business Center of Davidson County Community College beginning in March.

“Entrepreneurship for Creatives” is open to artists from various mediums and other individuals working to turn their creative talents into business opportunities. The workshops will be offered on Saturdays, March 13, 20 and April 10, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the college’s Davie Campus in Mocksville.

“We will be offering a series of educational workshops for creative workers to develop entrepreneurial skills and enable success in creating sustainable businesses,” said Toby Royston, Small Business Center Director at DCCC. Nine topics, three per session, will cover issues related to basic business start-up practices such as business plans, financial concerns and legal issues.

“People who are artists often don’t have a business background,” Royston said. “Our goal is to equip them with skills to operate a successful business.”

In addition, participants will address issues directly related to marketing artwork, including copyright laws, the cost of producing artwork and the establishing the value of pieces of art. Each course within the program will be taught by experts in their respective fields.

Tuition for the workshop is $70.

For more information contact Royston at (336) 224-4557 or troyston@dav i d s o n c c c. e d u .

BUSINESS

The pursuit of passion through work TaylorMade

MARILYN TAYLOR Business Columnist

In Frederick Buechner’s meditative collection Listening to Your Life, we are offered this thought for February 23: If you lose yourself in your work, you find who you are. If you express the best you have in you in your work, it is more than the just the best you have in you that you are expressing.

President’s days and St. Valentine’s Day have come and gone. The groundhog has seen his shadow, or not. It is still a good month till the coming of spring.

Work may be what we have to focus on until the days get longer, warmer and brighter.

How often do we lose ourselves in our work? And is that even

a worthy goal? I think losing ourselves in work is closely akin to experiencing “flow”, a sort of timelessness where we are deeply connected to our work and able to focus, engage and create. This state is most likely to be achieved when pursuing work that we absolutely love to do, can do easily and find totally absorbing.

The idea of pursuing one’s passion through work is currently an approved strategy in job search and career enrichment. Curt Rosengren’s February 04 article in US News and World Report is an example of over 2,000,000 sites that address (and generally endorse) the issue of pursuing passion at work. Curt offers three reasons for a resounding ‘YES’ answer to his question: “Does having passion for your work even matter?”

First, It’s an energy source. When we are excited about what we are doing, it’s easier to get up, get going and deal with whatever comes our way. With expectancy, ownership, and hope fueling us, we literally feel more energetic and alive. Dreading work

every day is an energy drain and especially as we grow older, its energy gain that we are after.

Second, It helps you feel more confident. Doing work that energizes us helps us feel balanced and whole. Here’s the way Rosengren puts it: When you’re aligned with what energizes you…it’s like having both feet solidly planted on the floor and your center of gravity low.

You don’t have to worry about somebody knocking you off balance because it doesn’t take any special energy to simply be who you are.

You inherently feel more confident about what you’re doing.

Third, It feeds your persistence. Consistently forcing ourselves to be who we are not begs us to look for breakaway opportunities. But when engaged in passionate pursuits, work more often becomes the breakaway opportunity. When we run into roadblocks and bumps in the pursuit of our passions, Curt asserts they are a lot easier to take. From my career coaching work, I would have to agree.

Underneath these three benefits lies

Bank of N.C. reports 19 percent increase in diluted earnings TIMES STAFF REPORT

BNC Bancorp (NASDAQ: BNCN) recently announced financial results of the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2009.

For the fourth quarter, net income available to common shareholders totaled $1.29 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, an increase of 167 percent compared to net income available to common shareholders of $483,000, or $0.07 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net income available to common shareholders totaled $4.55 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, as compared to $3.85 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share, reported for 2008, an increase of 19 percent. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, the Company reported net gains on sales of investment securities in the amount of $3.61 million, which partially offset the increases of FDIC assessments and provision for loan losses in the amounts of $2.20 million and $8.68 million, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2008.

Additionally, the Company reported dividends and accretion on the preferred stock investment by the Treasury in the amount of $1.98 million for the year ended 2009, an increase of $1.84 million when compared to the year ended 2008.

Total assets as of December 31, 2009 were $1.63 billion, an increase of 4 percent compared with $1.57 billion as of December 31, 2008. Total loans on Dec. 31, 2009 were $1.08 billion, an increase of 7 percent from the $1.01 billion reported as of Dec. 31, 2008. Investment secu-

rities decreased $56.1 million, or 13 percent, when compared to the $422.6 million outstanding at the end of 2008. Deposits increased 18 percent over the same one-year period.

“In this challenging environment, we felt it was prudent to delay our earnings release until the completion of our annual regulatory examination,” said W. Swope Montgomery Jr., president and CEO. “While no bank is immune to challenges in the credit portfolio, we believe that 2009 was a very successful year for our Company, in terms of operating results, managing asset quality, and building our infrastructure to meet the demands of the current environment and to support expected growth in the future. We have invested significant resources in the credit department during 2009 that have better prepared our Company to identify and manage problem credits with an emphasis towards minimizing losses over both the short and long-term. This additional depth helps position our Company not only to provide the necessary enhanced oversight and credit review during this economic downturn, but puts the strength in the field to provide the service required for growth and expansion we expect of our franchise over the next several years.”

Your Town.

Your Times.

Buechner’s premise.

Passion is about more than just getting excited about going to work everyday. For when we lose ourselves in our work, we are tapping into a divine source of inspiration. It is Creativity with a capital ‘C’. And then we aren’t just reaping benefits. We are giving and receiving blessings.
