Weekend traffic accidents leave 3 dead BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
An early Sunday morning high-speed crash that went undiscovered for almost 12 hours left two Lexington men dead. According to the state highway patrol, Brandon Perry Rush, 22, of Pine Top Road, and Darrell Eugene Everhart Jr., 28, of Good Luck Drive, were traveling north on Odell Owen Road west of Lexington Sunday morning
at 4:15 a.m. when their car, a 1995 Acura, crossed the center line, struck a guardrail and three tress before plunging down an embankment into a ravine, ejecting the two. They were not wearing their seatbelts. Family members spotted the vehicle spilt in two 11 hours later. Both men, who also were half-brothers and fathers, died at the scene. Investigating trooper Eric Phillips said in the accident report that
Rush, the driver, was going 100 mph in a 45 mph limit zone, and estimated the speed at impact was 85 mph. Investigators determined alcohol was not a factor in the wreck. “Apparently the highway patrol received a call around 3:15 p.m. and that appears to be when somebody discovered [the crash],” Pam Kearns, office manager with the state highway patrol, said. “You could not see the wreckage very well
from the road. It was down an embankment and some people just happened to see it.” Sunday’s crash marked the second in the area over the weekend that resulted in a fatality. On Saturday afternoon, a two-vehicle wreck at the intersection of Hope Well Church Road and N.C. Highway 62 left a High Point man dead from injuries. Taj Khan, 68, of Allen
Jay Road, was the passenger in a 1994 Nissan Sentra driven by his son, Amjad Khan, 31, traveling north on Highway 62. Amjad Khan attempted to turn left onto Surrett Drive when he collided with an SUV. Taj Khan was transported to High Point Regional Hospital (HPRH) where he later died from his injuries. Amjad Khan was airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and listed

Council approves incentives for Project 3C
BY ELIOT DUKE
North Carolina came a step closer to getting its hands on some more stimulus money that will trickle down to Thomasville City Schools. The U.S. Department of Education announced recently that North Carolina is one of 15 state finalists, along with the District of Columbia, to receive funds from Race to the Top, a $4.35 billion educational program that is part of the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In the event North Carolina is selected as a Race to the Top winner, TCS will receive as much as $200,000 from the program. “It would be a good chunk to help us out in a
in fair condition. Four passengers in the SUV also were taken to HPRH and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Alcohol was not involved in the crash and everyone was wearing seatbelts. Prosecutors are determining whether Amjad Khan will face any charges.

Thomasville City Council approved the economic incentives package for a company that could bring more jobs to the city at its public hearing Monday night. Called Project 3C, the company would pledge to maintain 20 jobs and provide wages equal to or above the county average in exchange for a maximum of $5,600 incentive grant each year over a five-year period, if it accepts the deal. “Thomasville is one of their final choices for their expansion,” said Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission. “Project 3C will stimulate the economy, increase the city tax base, and thus increase tax revenues.” The council’s approval

Local teen becomes face for Sheetz BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
For most passersby, the faces on billboards and business posters seem nameless and distant, almost unreal. Though Mercedes Williams used to pass those signs with an objective indifference, now a few make her do a double-take. Williams, 18, of Thomasville, was selected last fall as Miss Sheetz of the Eastern U.S. As such, she traveled to Pennsylvania as one of 15 employees of Sheetz convenience stores to pose in pictures for the company’s billboards and posters, the only North Carolinian represented.
“It takes me a minute to get used to it,” Williams said. “I look at it, and I say, ‘Wow, that’s really me.’ I’m on more than half of these stores. People see me every day.” When the Sheetz in Trinity opened about a year ago, representatives from corporate came down to meet Williams, she said. “They wanted a girl with a caramel-colored complexion in the photo shoot,” said Williams, who had just started working at the time. “After they got to know me, they said that I have the type of personality that would attract people to Sheetz. It made me feel good.” Corporate told Williams that her smile embodied the customer-ser-

vice atmosphere Sheetz tries to convey. A 50-year-old, family-owned business that began in 1952 and has since grown to 365 locations across six states, Sheetz’s mission is to give customers an experience beyond that of a typical convenience store. And the company wanted the photos to depict that. There for three days and two nights, the 15 chosen employees took pictures in their uniforms, posing with other employees and by themselves. Williams said the 15 represented young, old, black, white, Asian - a whole variety.

HEALTH
Clinton’s heart disease stresses healthy options LIFELONG HEALTH
DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
Americans were saddened to learn that former President Bill Clinton is facing an escalating battle with heart disease. Earlier this month, Clinton was admitted to a New York hospital with chest pain. An angiogram identified a blocked coronary artery, so two stents were placed to open the clogged blood vessel. After a short stay, he returned home. Here in Arkansas, the dean of the Clinton School of
Public Service released a statement indicating that a complete recovery was expected and the president would return to his full schedule very soon. Unfortunately, the dean is wrong. Coronary artery disease is a chronic illness, meaning Clinton should not expect a “full recovery.� Clinton has a serious history of heart disease. Four years ago, at the very early age of 59, Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery. And one year later, another procedure was needed to remove scar tissue and fluid that had accumulated in the pericardium, the sac that surrounds the heart. His recent symptoms of chest pain indicate that rather than arresting or improving his coronary artery disease, the illness has progressed. And because he has narrowing in his coronary arteries, the risk of vascular disease
elsewhere — including the kidneys, carotid arteries, brain and lower limbs — is high. If Clinton continues on the same path without making serious lifestyle changes, further problems are almost guaranteed. So, why has his illness progressed? We know Clinton exercises regularly, has maintained an ideal weight, and hopefully his physicians are treating him with the essential medications to reduce the risk of more problems. Anyone who knows or has worked with the president understands that he is a man of enormous energy, a multitasker who is passionately involved in important worthy causes, from AIDS in Africa and tragedy in Somalia to earthquakes in Haiti. His tasks are of vital importance and his role as a national statesman puts huge demands on his
schedule. He is burning the candle at both ends. And whether he believes it or not, the stress and frantic lifestyle are the root cause of his problems with heart disease. Mr. President, it’s time to listen to reason and make some changes. For any successful and busy person, the idea of doing less or becoming less involved is not an option. There are millions of people, myself included, who have coronary artery disease and remain unable to slow down. Sooner or later, the physical stress of intense work will result in continued chest pain. For me, the turning point in my own battle with heart disease came through the valuable guidance of a well-trained therapist. Thanks to her, 12 years later, I am working harder than ever, but I have also learned to cope with stress. Here is some sage
LMH to open Wound Care Center TIMES STAFF REPORT
Lexington Memorial Hospital has announced plans to open a Wound Care Center in late May 2010. Located at 10 Medical Park Drive, the stateof-the-art outpatient center will offer advanced technologies including hyperbaric medicine and evidenced based clinical protocols in the treatment of non-healing wounds. The Lexington Memorial Wound Care Center is a hospital-based program that will work in conjunction with the patient’s primary care physician, serving as an adjunctive service for the referring physician and specializing in the treatment of problem wounds. Open Monday through Friday, the program will operate on an appointment only basis. �We are excited to be adding this vital service to our continuum of care,� said Steve Schultz, Lexington Memorial’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Not only will the Wound Care Center complement the quality of care already available at the hospital, but
it also can serve as a key adjunct to the practices of our referring physicians. The services provided by the Wound Care Center will positively impact the health of our community.� Joseph W. Cullom, M.D, FACS, will serve as the Medical Director of the program. He will be assisted by Kenneth M. Petersen, M.D., FACS, a locally practicing general surgeon for thirty years. The multispecialty team of doctors and nurses will jointly coordinate an overall care plan for each patient, working in partnership with the patient’s referring physician. “We are pleased to be able to provide this much-needed service� he said. “Our entire multidisciplinary team is trained to provide comprehensive treatment and care.� Lexington Memorial’s Wound Care Center is devoted to healing problem wounds and helping patients to reclaim their quality of life. “The majority of the patients who are treated at the program do not require Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; however, those who do receive the treatment, have high
healing rates because the process delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the blood stream and the wound bed, which rapidly accelerates the healing process,� said Dr. Cullom. For most people, cuts and scratches heal within days or weeks. But for those whose natural healing process is hampered, a simple sore can become a complex medical problem requiring specialized care. The professional and caring staff at Lexington Memorial’s Wound Care Center will offer hope to patients whose wounds have been maintained for many years without healing. Nationally, approximately 7 million people suffer from chronic, nonhealing wounds—a serious disorder that can lead to amputation of limbs
and dramatically impair quality of life. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins and immobility, non-healing wounds occur most frequently in the elderly and in people with diabetes—populations that are sharply rising as the nation ages and chronic diseases increase. Lexington Memorial has partnered with Diversified Clinical Services, the nation’s pioneer and leader in wound management with more that 250 centers nationwide, to develop and operate the center. It will use Diversified Clinical Services innovative techniques that focus on not just treating the symptoms, but healing the wound entirely by taking a disease management approach that eliminates the cause.
advice for Clinton. First, he must understand that learning to control stress requires just as much effort as eating right and exercising. Research has shown that short, five-minute relaxation exercises that use breathing techniques and imagery (imagining being in a safe, familiar and calming place) can dramatically reduce every marker of stress. Regular meditation is the single most powerful way to reduce the risk of another heart attack. The more actively he addresses stress management, the better he can control his heart disease. It’s that simple. There are other important tips. Clinton must learn to put himself first and make sure his needs are met. He must learn to say no, to be kind to his body and to seek health throughout each day. He must learn to let go of the little things, to
recognize the triggers that stress him out and to rely on the help of others. Many people in important leadership positions do not handle conflict well and avoid maintaining boundaries between work and home. If you have a heart problem or know of someone who does, they too may be in the same position as the president. Reach out and persuade them to change — their future depends on it.

Parents of students at Thomasville Primary School sit down for pizza and drink during Parent Involvement Night held March 4.
Parent involvement strong at TPS TIMES STAFF REPORT Parents and teachers are unifying to increase student learning at Thomasville Primary School. Eighty 2nd grade family members, friends and students attended a highly successful Second Grade Parent Involvement Night held on March 4. The event included a pizza dinner, and a brief presentation of second grade learning goals
shared by Assistant Principal, Aaron Kline. The second grade teachers then shared strategies with parents, and provided many take-home resources to parents that will help families to support learning at home. The focus of these demonstrations and materials was reading and math. Families were even challenged to participate in a timed math facts test, very similar to the one that TPS students take weekly.
March is an especially important month for family involvement at TPS. First and Third Grade Parent Involvement Nights will be held on Thursday, March 11 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. ESL Family Night will be held on March 18 from 6 to 7 p.m. Family involvement plays a large role in student achievement, and it is so wonderful to see so many families taking the time to attend these important school events.

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. Either way, you’re right. That is the attitude the family and friends of Suzanne Cranford are taking as they begin a new project in her memory called Love, Suzanne. Love, Suzanne is collecting new or gently used prom wear for young women in need in the Thomasville community. “It seems only fitting that we remember that this was one of her favorite sayings,� said Wanda Cranford, Suzanne’s mother and the project’s organizer. “It’s a big job, but we’re very excited about the opportunity to assist these young ladies in preparing for their special night.� Love, Suzanne is collecting semi-formal dresses, jewelry, shoes, wraps, and other accessories to distribute to Thomasville-area high school juniors and seniors who might not otherwise be able to attend their high school prom. Young ladies will be invited to “shop� for a free dress during Love, Suzanne’s Boutique Day on Saturday, April 10 at the Tom A. Finch YMCA in Thomasville. Donations are tax-deductible and can be brought to Thomasville Medical Center (207 Old Lexington Road), Tom A. Finch YMCA (1010 Mendenhall St.), or Tips Toes & Tans Too, 5 Commerce St.) by March 31. All items should be clean and in good condition. Young ladies who would like to shop Boutique Day can call (336) 847-1897 or contact the guidance counselor at their school. Shopping is by appointment only. Thomasville native Suzanne Cranford and her boyfriend, Daniel Branson, also of Thomasville, were killed along with two others in a car accident outside Atlanta in June 2007. Wanda Cranford

says she has been looking for a way to honor their memory. “Daniel and Suzanne were amazing young people who touched so many in their short lives. We are honored to have known them and loved them.� In early 2010, Cranford formed a nonprofit called PAL. The acronym stands for “People Acting in Love,� and comes from a nickname Suzanne and Daniel had for each other. Love, Suzanne is the first of PAL’s projects. “We hope PAL will continue to grow and find other ways to reach out in love to our community,� Cranford said. A prom dress drive, however, is the perfect place to start. “Prom is a very special time in a young lady’s life, and it would break Suzanne’s heart to think that some girl might not get to go because she didn’t have anything to wear,� Cranford said. “She and Daniel thoroughly enjoyed their proms, and they looked red carpetready. We want others girls to have that experience too.�

The courage of his convictions VIEWPOINT
SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist When you ask people why it is that they hate or distrust politicians, the usual answers, understandably so, are all about what gutless wonders most politicians are — addicted to their polls, determined to stay there at all costs. Campaign promises are about getting elected; once there, they are quickly forgotten. Courage is not a word you hear very often in discussions about politics. Not Barack Obama. Whether or not you support or even understand his health care plan — and the polls suggest that right now most Americans don’t — you must admit this: Obama is a man who does everything humanly possible to keep his promises. He promised health care reform, and he is risking his presidency to deliver it. If that’s not courage, what is? To be sure, Obama is not on the ballot for a few years. Bill Clinton proved that a president can survive and even triumph after a humiliating midterm defeat. But that hardly makes it a game plan that makes political sense. When most of the country turns against you, most politicians will turn with them. Ours is a representative and not a direct democracy, which means we send our representatives to Washington not to do what we want them to do (at least not necessarily), but to do what they believe is right. Most of the time, for most politicians, those things are one and the same. The reason they won in the first place is because they are “in tune” with their districts, and they stay there by staying “in tune.” The problem with the health care debate is that the chorus has changed so dramatically in the past year.
Whereas a year ago most Americans said they favored comprehensive health care reform, now they don’t. Heads … no, tails. Obama … no, Scott Brown. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Insiders can debate until the cows come home about the reason for the shift in public opinion. Was it a failure of communication — too much emphasis on the minority who are not insured, as opposed to the majority who are? Was it a failure of politics — choosing to fight the last war (Congress was left out on HillaryCare) and, as a result, losing this one by leaving it to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi instead of taking the initiative in the White House? Was it the big bailouts and stimulus bills that left many of us suffering from spending fatigue? It doesn’t matter. Whatever the reason, this much is clear: The weather has changed. Storm clouds have gathered. Voting for health care is much riskier politically than it was when both houses of Congress passed their bill. And while individual members of Congress will face the voters first, there is no question that a rout come November will leave all fingers pointed at Obama — which would generate the sort of talk about a one-term presidency that no incumbent in his second year would want to hear, much less invite. And yet that is what Obama is doing. He is staking his presidency on a health care plan that most Americans don’t want. He is asking members of Congress to stay with him not because that is what their constituents want, but because it is the right thing to do. Obama wants a vote on health care because he believes that it is now or never. However grim things might look, this is the biggest majority Democrats are going to have in the foreseeable future. If not now, when? You can call it arrogant or foolish or shortsighted. Me, I call it courage.
The Politician - It is Andrew Young’s story, too VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist The first questions many people want to ask Andrew Young about his best selling book, “The Politician.” • If the John Edwards story you tell in your book was so bad and distasteful, why did you stay a part of it for so long? • If the money and the promises of a powerful job were still there with Edwards, would you still be there, too? • Are you just trying to get revenge on the Edwardses for their treatment of you? Young is ready for your questions. He has not dodged them as they have come up in multiple interviews. He quickly concedes his own grievous errors in assisting John Edwards in the attempt to cover up the Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter and his responsibility for their child. He has conceded that he now “despises” Edwards and that, in addition to giving his side of the story, money to pay expenses and legal bills is a reason for writing the book. Young’s detailed version of the Edwards-Hunter-Young saga and cover-up has forced
us to come to terms with how close we came to having a presidential or vice-presidential nominee or election winner whose past deceptions would have made him subject to blackmail and disgrace. Thanks to Young, the story about John Edwards has now been carefully reported. What has hardly been mentioned, and is perhaps more interesting, instructive and poignant, is Young’s story about himself. For instance, there is the story of Andrew and his father, The Reverend Robert Young, who died last year as Andrew was finishing the book. Robert Young was one of North Carolina’s most popular religious leaders. In the pulpit he was a powerful and compelling preacher. He also had a positive concern for politics, and many of us thought he would someday by a successful candidate for high political office. He had, after all, been elected president of the student body at UNC-Chapel Hill. But those expectations came crashing down when Robert Young’s affair with a parishioner broke up his family and his bright prospects for leadership in his church and political life. Thus, Andrew Young knows first hand the kind of agony and challenges faced by children of muchadmired fathers who are publically disgraced. Young acknowledges that John Edwards may have become a “substitute” for his father and that “my commitment to him was like a son’s commitment to his father.” There is more, though, to explain Young’s conduct, and it has to do with Young’s
coming to terms with his father’s mistakes. Over time, his father worked hard to regain the respect of Andrew and others, and he persuaded them to accept a very bad mistake in light of his remorse and the many good things he did to redeem himself. “… if you want to understand how I could have aided and abetted the worst in John Edwards, it helps to know that I was also trying to grasp, as an adult, what it means to take the good with the bad. I had confronted my father, watched him seek redemption, and make peace with him. But I hadn’t developed a mature understanding of what I should do beyond accepting another person’s flaws and moving on.” Young continues, “With my dad’s help, I know now the difference between understanding human nature — the combination of good and evil — and being able to love yourself and others through it all. I am genuinely sorry for all that I have done wrong and for all the hurt I have caused others.” Young certainly understands that there will be skeptics who will wait to judge him until time proves the sincerity of his remorse. But everyone should acknowledge that he has taken an important first step. Read D.G.

—– and Davidson County Board of Commissioner’s last month — stipulates an investment package of .0028 times the total investment of about $2 million in the plant, machinery and equipment. That 28 percent is half of the tax rate and, along with the investment amount, was negotiated by the economic development commission and the company. The company approached the economic development commission about a year back and again several months ago. “It would create jobs,� said Earl Harrison, Thomasville resident and radio consultant. “It would give our community an opportunity to put some of the unemployed back to work in the city of Thomasville.� Council knows the name of the company but has received very little other information about the project. Googe said he couldn’t release the company’s name until it has made its announcement official. “The process that we got through to create an
incentive package is to entice someone to the community,â€? Googe said. Though the company has a property opportunity in Thomasville, Googe said it wants to wait to make a move until it hears whether or not the incentive package would be approved. “I would think it will move forward within the next 30 days of your decision,â€? Googe said. “You always think it will move positively.â€? In other news, the council approved its schedule for the regular meeting on Monday, March 15: • A public hearing on a zoning request by Kendall Mill Properties • Consideration of the 2009-10 Water/Sewer Fund Budget Amendment for sewer line projects — the transfer of $85,000 to maintenance and construction • Consideration of 20092010 General Fund Budget Amendment — the transfer of $55,000 from the general fund to the legal budget for legal fees • Consideration of 2009 Community Development Hook Up Grant • Consideration of Condemnation of 1110 Unity St. • Consideration of TMobile Antenna Lease Agreement

A Davidson County Community College student by day, Williams balances work and studies, but she said she enjoys it. “It’s really friendly,� she said. “Everyone gets the job done, but it’s not too serious that you dread getting up to go to work every day.� Even with the combination of work and play, Williams lives up to the stigma of being Sheetz’s poster child, said Sheetz Manager Dale Bennett. “Mercedes is a very
RACE From page 1 tough economy,� TCS Superintendent Keith Tobin said. “North Carolina has been a leader in education for quite some time, so I feel pretty confident we’ll be able to get it. A bunch of people have put in a lot of hours on this grant.� Just how many states can expect to receive a share of the Race to the Top funds has not been released, but Tobin said he thinks it will be around 10. A total of 40 states and the District of Columbia applied for Phase 1 of the program, and the winners are expected to be announced some time in April. Race to the Top is intended to reshape the country’s educational system by making students more prepared for a 21st Century workforce and economy. “This is encouraging news for education in North Carolina, but our work isn’t over,� said Gov. Bev Perdue. “Every child in this state must graduate prepared to go on to college, a career or technical training. We can accomplish that through innovation and rethinking the way we track our student’s progress. Race to the Top can help North Carolina move forward faster and more aggressively towards this goal.� Race to the Top will be awarded based on four areas — recruiting and developing teachers, turning around struggling schools, preparing students for a global economy and building computer programs to track student progress. Finalists were chosen based on
good employee,� he said. “She represents Sheetz very well.� But Williams — whose family describes her as a shy person with natural beauty - has dreams beyond Sheetz. She graduated from East Davidson High School and is now in her third semester at DCCC, but she hopes to transfer to High Point University to finish out her junior and senior years and get a masters in education. She eventually wants to teach kindergarten, a goal she’s had since her own days in K-5. “My kindergarten teacher had the biggest effect on me, and I always wanted to be just like her,� Williams said. “Kids always keep me smiling and laughing and upbeat. You can never be down or sad around a kid.� Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576, or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com.
a system of five reviewers who read and scored each application. The final score was the average of the five reviewers scores. Each finalist will have a representative travel to Washington D.C. this month and present their proposal to their respective panel. Once a presentation is completed, the reviewers will finalize each application and submit them to the Department of Education. Tobin said the money will have to be spent a certain way. One of the stipulations revolves around performance pay for teachers, a requirement that hasn’t been met with universal approval. Tobin said a reason for that is due to the fact that no clear cut method has been established. “It comes down to merit pay,� Tobin said. “We have to find a way to do that. A lot of that money would have to be set aside for some kind of performance pay for our teachers. I don’t have a problem with it, but what I do have a problem with is how we get that done. My biggest deal is I want to be fair and consistent with everyone across the board. If we can come with a plan that’s fair and consistent where everybody has equal chance to get that pay, then I’m all for it.� Other finalists included Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee.

DURHAM — Before the first media timeout Saturday night, it became fairly apparent which team would win the latest chapter in the storied series between Duke and North Carolina. So after a while, Duke students who never had experienced the thrill of a victory over the Tar Heels at Cameron Indoor Stadium settled in — though they never settled down — to watch the show and wait to see what the final count would be. They weren’t disappointed. The fans got their payoff for six weeks of camping out and five years of waiting it out in the form of an 82-50 blowout. The Duke players, for their part, got the sweet taste of beating UNC at Cameron, as well, along with much more — a share of the ACC’s regular-season title, a perfect season at home and a perfect sendoff for the seniors. “Our seniors have been such a good group. They deserved this moment,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said as his team cut down the nets in Cameron for what is believed to be the first time. “When you play that well, you always are concerned that you can let up. I never thought we let up.” With the victory, the Blue Devils (26-5, 13-3 ACC) wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament. Duke will face the winner of Thursday’s opening-round game between No. 8 Boston College and No. 9 Virginia in the quarterfinals Friday at noon at the Greensboro Coliseum. The Tar Heels (16-15, 5-

Sports Editor LEXINGTON — Storm sophomore point guard Phillip Williams is a confident young man. On Friday at a team meal, he asked coach Matt Ridge what time the bus would be leaving on Tuesday for the national tournament in Delhi, NY. The only problem with his question was that Davidson County Community College had to get through Montgomery College-Germantown in Saturday’s NJCAA District 7 Division III Championship game at Brinkley Gym to earn that trip. Williams backed up his prediction, though, scoring 18 second half points to lead DCCC by the Gryphons, 85-83. “No words can explain this — it’s just unbelievable,” Williams said. “I knew somehow I needed to find a way to get us to New York.” Ridge was visibly exhausted afterwards, in one of the toughest games his team has played all season. “I feel like I have been through a 12-round fight and got knocked down 15 times,” said Ridge. “I love these guys to death and they have refused to lose this year. We made plays down the stretch and Phillip just willed us to victory.” Davidson trailed 74-71 with 3:30 left, but with the help of Williams and key baskets by his teammates, the Storm found a way like they have all season long. A 10-0 run put the home team in prime position leading by seven as the clock wound down to two minutes. In two possessions, that was quickly dwindled down to a single

The game became tied at 81-all on a step-back jumper by Donald Williams, and the finish was setting up to be a good one. “We were up seven and all of a sudden it was tied,” said Ridge. They had no quit in them either.” Phillip Williams willed his way to a foul in the
lane and made both free throws, then a miss at the other end was taken by the Storm and Justin Glover (24 points) connected on two at the charity stripe. Bess rebounded a miss for two at the other end to make it 84-83, but with .2 seconds left, Glover made the first free throw and intentionally missed the second to end the game. “We are going to enjoy the heck out of this one until probably midnight,
KOBALT TOOLS 500
Busch battles through restarts to win at AMS NASCARMEDIA.COM HAMPTON, Ga. — Kurt Busch won two races Sunday: the Kobalt Tools 500 and the Carl Edwards 25. In a race that went 16 laps—nearly 25 miles—past its scheduled distance, after Edwards retaliated against Brad Keselowski for an incident earlier in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Busch took advantage of a strong restart to grab the lead during the second attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag restart and crossed the finish line .482 seconds ahead of runner-up Matt Kenseth. Juan Pablo Montoya, who was closing in on Busch near the end of the regulation 325 laps, finished third but lost his chance to battle for the victory when Edwards hit Keselowski’s No. 12 Dodge on the frontstretch and sent it flying on Lap 323. Keselowski’s car landed on its roof
in the tri-oval, righted itself and slid into the Turn 1 wall. After extensive clean-up, NASCAR restarted the race on Lap 332—without Edwards, who was black-flagged on Lap 326—with Busch assuming the lead from Clint Bowyer, who had taken the point on a two-tire pit stop under caution on Lap 324. Before Busch could take the white flag, however, a seven-car pileup in Turn 3 caused the 11th caution of the race and set up the second try at the green-white-checkered. Edwards’ aggression toward Keselowski was payback for a Lap 40 wreck in Turn 2, where Edwards felt Keselowski didn’t give him enough room. “Brad knows the deal between him and I,” said Edwards, who returned to the track on Lap 191 after losing 150 laps in the garage. “The scary part was that his car went airborne, which was

Annual bike ride to be held April 24 TIMES STAFF REPORT The 12th Rolling In the Valley Bicycle Ride will be Saturday, April 24. The cycling tour will be staged for a consecutive year at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church on Old Highway 64 at the Davidson and Randolph County line. Cyclists may again choose from familiar courses of 8, 25 or 50 miles over scenic rural paved roads of the two counties. About half the riders usually chose the longer more challenging route. Safety teams will patrol all three courses. Participants will be served a full spaghetti dinner after they conclude the event. A variety of refreshments will be available before and during the ride. The registration fee is
DUKE From page 7 11) will be the No. 10 seed and will open against No. 7 Georgia Tech on Thursday at 7 p.m. There actually was a touch of drama in the drubbing, at least for historians. Would Duke claim its largest victory over the Tar Heels in the 229 games between the neighbors? The answer, not settled until the final minute, was no. Duke’s 104-69 victory on Feb. 29, 1964, still is standing — barely — but it was the Blue Devils’ most lopsided win over UNC in Durham, surpassing its 94-64 victory on Feb. 29, 1952. “I guess that’s kind of how we wanted it,” said junior Kyle Singler, who paced Duke with 25 points. Senior Jon Scheyer and junior Nolan Smith added 20 apiece, as each of Duke’s big three went for at least 20 points for the first time. While it was what Singler wanted, it certainly wasn’t what UNC coach Roy Williams had in mind. While criticizing his team, which got 14 points from freshman John Henson, Williams provided a tribute of his own to Duke’s recruited seniors — Scheyer, Lance Thomas (2 points, 6 rebounds) and Brian Zoubek (8 points, 13 rebounds). “Jon Scheyer is a young man that I’ve really enjoyed watching play, except against us,” Williams said. “Lance Thomas doesn’t shoot it very much, but he does all the dirty work and really helps their team. ... That’s three of the last four games that [Zoubek] has had double-figure rebound totals. “I think this is the best Duke team there’s been in the seven years I’ve been here. Mike knows them better, but to me, they don’t have any holes.” UNC started the game well enough, when senior Marcus Ginyard came up with a steal and hit a free throw after drawing the foul. That however, was the Tar Heels’ lone lead, and nearly their lone highlight. Duke’s next three possessions resulted in 3pointers from Scheyer, then Singler, then Smith for a 9-3 lead. It was only the beginning. After Scheyer hit three

free throws by drawing a foul from Ginyard, Singler scored Duke’s next seven points on his way to a 19-point half. Smith took care of nine of Duke’s next 12, powered by a pair of three-point plays and interrupted only by a 3-pointer from freshman Andre Dawkins. Then, when Singler hit a pair of free throws at the 9:18 mark, the Blue Devils led 31-9. “Those three veterans on the perimeter really set the stage in the first half with how they passed and moved with one another,” Krzyzewski said. “We played really well. We would have been tough to beat tonight for anybody.” After the game, Duke’s seniors addressed the crowd, donning T-shirts designed by Singler that he unveiled to the team on the eve of the game. The shirts featured a logo commemorating the first 17-0 record in Cameron history. “It made us really want to win this game,” Smith said. “We couldn’t let these shirts go to waste.”

BUSCH From page 7 not at all what I expected. “At the end of the day, we come out to race, and people got to have respect for one another. I have a lot of respect for people’s safety, and I wish that wouldn’t have gone like it did, but I’m glad he’s OK. We’ll just go on and race some more, and maybe him and I won’t have any more incidents together—that’d be the best thing.” The wreck, with Keselowski running sixth at the time, was eerily similar to a collision involving the two drivers last April at Talladega, where Keselowski held his line at the bottom of the track and won the race after Edwards No. 99 Ford flew into the catch fence, injuring eight spectators. “He cut down on me on a restart, and I lifted (off the accelerator), and I couldn’t lift fast enough for him,” Keselowski said of the Lap 40 wreck. “I lifted for him to let him in, but I was there. I don’t know what more you could do. “I apologized to him, but there’s nothing I could do in that situation, and to come back
‘‘I just felt like we had the car to beat.’ — Kurt Busch Driver of the No. 2 and just intentionally wreck someone—that’s not cool. It could have killed somebody in the grandstands. I know that it’s a little ironic that it’s got me saying that, but at least I didn’t do it intentionally when it happened. “It’s going to be interesting to see how NASCAR reacts to it. They have the ball. If they’re going to allow people to intentionally wreck each other at tracks this fast, we will hurt someone, either in the cars or in the grandstand.” Busch claimed the 21st victory of his career and his first with crew chief Steve Addington, who joined Penske Racing during the offseason after guiding Busch’s brother, Kyle, to 12 victories in 2008 and 2009 with Joe Gibbs Racing. “With Steve Addington, all of his new ideas, I never knew how we could mesh them together and how soon we were able to do it,” Busch said. “Even on those restarts at the end, I just felt like we had the car to beat.” Fourth-place finisher Kasey Kahne led the most laps (144), but his car tightened at the end of the race. Paul Menard ran fifth and AJ Allmendinger sixth, giving Richard Petty Motorsports a 4-5-6 finish, the organization’s best result since announcing a switch from Dodge to Ford late last year. Brian Vickers, Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick and Scott Speed completed the top 10. Notes: Dale Earnhardt Jr. regained two lost laps during the last two cautions and finished 15th. He’s 13th in the Cup standings, seven points out of 12th, the last Chase-eligible position. … Harvick retained the points lead by 26 over Kenseth and 59 over Biffle.
