PROUD AMERICAN Man earns U.S. Citizenship after 15 years

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer The City of Thomasville on Wednesday released an executive summary from a sewage spill assessment, outlining the events that led to last summer’s multi-million gallon wastewater spill into High Rock Lake and how to prevent another system failure. Despite the latest report, City Manager Kelly Craver said some things will never be known for sure. “We had hoped for more definitive answers,” Craver said. “We had a lot of professionals studying what happened, but nothing was conclusive. The most important thing was the reassurance from

It started out as a simple vacation, one brother visiting another in a foreign country. But when Nunzio di Puorto returned to his home in Villa Literno, Italy, he began itching to go back to the United States. Now, 15 years later, di Puorto is the proud recipient of his U.S. citizenship. Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett presented the new citizen an honorary certificate in a small ceremony at Elizabeth’s Pizza on Main Street, owned by di Puorto and his family. “It’s another step for my life,” di Puorto said. “I came here with nothing. Then five years later, I got my green card. And 10 years later, I got my citizenship.” To become a U.S. citizen, an individual must first have a green card — which indicates permanent residency — for at least five years. Then the citizen-to-be must apply for the naturalization test, which includes an interview to test skills at reading, writing and speaking English as well as knowledge of civics. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recommends that individuals study for the naturalization test before applying. And that’s exactly what di Puorto did, hitting the books without much help of friends or family. “He’s the first of his immediate family,” said Cecil Spencer, a longtime customer and now family friend. “That’s a big accomplishment, to do it all on your own.” Di Puorto will be the first to admit, however, that it wasn’t an easy road. Even now he said he can only speak English at about a 50 percent accuracy level and write it at 20 percent. “It’s hard when I do something, I have to translate into Italian then from Italian to English,” he said. Despite the difficulties, di Pu-

scientists that they don’t expect any environmental impact at High Rock Lake.” Last summer, the city reported an estimated 15 million gallons of untreated wastewater spilled from a manhole and associated pipeline near Baptist Children’s Home Mills campus between July 31 and Aug. 4. Brown and Caldwell Environmental Engineers and Consultants prepared the summary, stating that “the likely cause of the failure was a combination of compromised structural integrity due to corrosion and high flows resulting from intense rainfall.” City

try, but it is too small.” Spencer, a dual citizen himself since his parents were from England, said he watched his friend work through the process with pride. “I know how important, how big of a deal it is,” Spencer said. While di Puorto studied for the tests, he even helped other foreigners navigate the system, Spencer

Wil-Cox Bridge accepted BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

LEXINGTON — One final round of debate ended it all. In a 5-2 vote, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners accepted the historic Wil-Cox Bridge at its March 9 meeting after almost a year of deliberation between county and state. The bridge, which extends over the Yadkin River, would have been demolished as part of the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Interstate 85 bridge reconstruction project had the county not stepped in. “It boils down to what the board believes is best for Davidson County,” Commissioner Fred McClure said. “I have no doubt that every person on this board, whether they vote against it or for it, will

be voting for what they think is best for Davidson County.” The Wil-Cox Bridge issue first came before the board last spring when the state offered Davidson County a one-time payment of $2.5 million — the cost to demolish the bridge — provided the bridge was only used by pedestrians. At the board meeting on March 4, commissioners expressed concerns about the bridge contract, which already had been revised multiple times. Since the bridge won’t be transferred to the county until the I-85 bridge is complete, commissioners worried that funds for maintenance and repairs made during that lag time would come from the allotted $2.5 million. Revised wording mandates that the DOT would have to request

After months of relative stability, North Carolina’s unemployment rate jumped to an all-time high in January. According to the latest statistics released by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, the state unemployment rate reached a record 11.1 percent as the number of people without a job surged past half a million. The rate hovered around 10.9 percent since last May but increased despite the ESC announcing the state actually experienced some job growth. “North Carolina gained

In the past year, unemployment increased by 82,208 people and employment fell by 123,732 workers. Last January’s unemployment rate registered 9.2 percent, and the total number

Mayor Joe Bennett and Cellular Sales Verizon Store Regional Directors Don White and Scott Love, along with store and city council representatives, cut the ribbon for the new retail outlet Tuesday.

Cellular Sales Verizon store hits the ground running BY LISA WALL Editor

Less than one month after opening the doors to its new Thomasville location at 1042 Randolph St., Cellular Sales Verizon Store already is receiving honors. Thomasville City Beautification Committee named the Verizon outlet store Business of the Month for March for its efforts in revitalizing an old Sunoco Gas Station into a modernized facility. On Tuesday, Mayor Joe Bennett and City Councilman Raleigh York helped with the official opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony. “I drove up and down this street [Randolph] and this building was the only one that excited me,� Don White, regional director of Cellular Sales, said of the new location. “I said ‘It’s terrible, but yet it’s perfect.’ Now this is probably the nicest store model we have and it’s what we want our future stores to look like. It came together better than any other.� The store’s look and its Verizon product options have appealed to Thom-

asville residents as well, as the location quickly rose to No. 1 in sales of Cellular Sales’ 40 Verizon outlet stores in the state. “We have stores in Charlotte, so to have this store rank as No. 1 is unreal,� White said. “We’re really excited.� White, along with coowner Scott Love, said the City of Thomasville was instrumental in making the transformation process run smoothly, as building permits were issued the day after he signed the lease. Once the underground gas tanks were removed and soil testing completed, the building process went quickly. The finished product is even better than White imagined. Mayor Bennett agreed as he welcomed the business owners to the Chair City. “I can only say that these gentlemen saw positives in Thomasville to come and invest in this property,� Bennett said. “The before and after is fantastic. I’m so happy to be here and cut the ribbon on their new store in Thomasville, N.C.� The honorary cutting of the ribbon was anoth-

er surprise bestowed by the city. “This is the first time any mayor has ever called us and wanted to have a ribbon cutting,� White said. Currently, the store has six sales stations to accommodate customers, but with the overwhelming response to its opening, White says a seventh station soon will be added. The store also has expanded its Sunday hours to 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. — a two-hour extension — and has plans to extend Monday through Saturday hours to 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Cellular Sales is the largest Verizon retailer, offering the latest Verizon wireless products.

that money from the County. Another issue addressed dealt with the language that was added to the original draft outlining consequences to the county if it didn’t follow through. County Attorney Chuck Frye said new wording had been put in outlining mutual liability. While those concerns were resolved, the last issue — brought up by Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley — was left hanging. That issue dealt with the amount of land the state would give Davidson County. A small piece of land on either side of the bridge will be deeded to Davidson County. That land put together adds to less than an acre. Another 15 acres of land, listed as belonging to, but unused by the state, could be requested by Davidson County in the future as a separate proposal, said Pat Ivey, DOT Division 9 engineer. The aspect of land ownership that remains unclear involves the property directly underneath the bridge, which is un-researched because it doesn’t affect the I-85 project. Ivey said that while the DOT gained the right-of-way from Alcoa for that property years ago, it’s unclear who actually maintains ownership. If the state does own the property, Ivey said he thought the state would

deed the land over to the County. If the state is merely being allowed to use the property but doesn’t own it, Ivey said it will be claimed as a legal right-of-way, accessible to the county. Appraisers are still looking into ownership details. Even with the land issue unresolved, Kepley said the benefits far outweighed the concerns. With a new campground, a transportation museum and the civil war site nearby, the addition of the bridge makes it a destination spot. “I don’t know any other area in the state that has all those assets that close together,� he said. McClure said that he didn’t think the estimated $100,000 a year in maintenance costs would apply to the bridge after it is restricted to pedestrian and bicycle use. And since engineer reports say that most of the concrete problems are superficial and not structural, McClure said he didn’t think the County would use all of the $2.5 million allotted. “This can be something for Davidson County in the future that our grandkids and great-grandkids can be proud of,� he said. That potential of ongoing value swayed Commissioner Cathy Dunn to the bridge’s side. Even though she was unsure of what the future held for the structure, she referenced bridges in foreign countries that have remained standing since the 1200s. “Once the bridge is a

pedestrian bridge and resurfaced and brought up to standards, I think the structure is going to be there for decades and decades,� Dunn said. On the other side of the fence, Commissioner Don Truell said he still didn’t completely understand why the board wanted the bridge. “About all the bridges that turn historic are in big cities,� he said. “We have to drive 20 miles to see this bridge, so the tourism would be more for Rowan County than ours.� For Commissioner Larry Potts, his main concerns lay in the potential repairs needed underwater. “You can’t use two guys in a pickup truck with a trowel to do that,� he said. He also expressed concern that the historic look the board was trying to preserve couldn’t even be seen from the road. “We all drove across it as young men and now as old men, and you can’t see the real beauty without going down,� he said. In the final vote, Truell and Potts voted against acceptance of the bridge, while McClure, Dunn, Watford, Kepley and Chairman Dr. Max Walser voted in favor. In other news, a public hearing will be held on March 23 to discuss economic development incentive issues.

A sorry complaint about Obama BY STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Don’t you miss the days when we had a Republican president who was not afraid to speak up for America in the face of foreign criticism? The kind of president who didn’t feel the United States is always in the wrong? I have fond memories of when George W. Bush ventured abroad to defend his country: “The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal, and we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words — within our borders, and around the world.” Beg your pardon? Oh, my mistake. Those were not the words of President Bush. They were the words of President Barack Obama, in a speech in Cairo last June — one stop on what Republicans see as his neverending “apology tour.” Among many conservatives, the rule is: Being American means never having to say you’re sorry. Speaking at the National Tea Party convention last month, Sarah Palin lambasted Obama for “apologizing for America.” Mitt Romney’s new book — titled, naturally, “No Apology” — says the president has a deplorable impulse to “apologize for so many American misdeeds, both real and imagined.” Oh? In that Cairo speech, Obama wasn’t exactly groveling in self-abasement. He argued that America was entirely justified in confronting “violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security.” He called on Muslims to disavow terrorism. He urged democracy and religious freedom in the Islamic world. But he made a mistake inexcusable to conservatives: acknowledging that the United States has not always conducted itself in perfect accord with its highest ideals. Romney is appalled that an American president would express regret for “unjustly interfering in the internal affairs of other nations,” “committing torture” and “selectively promoting democracy.” As in libel cases, though, truth is a defense. No grownup can deny that the U.S. government has sometimes done things in the world arena that do not inspire pride — our acceptance of the Soviet colonization of Eastern Europe, our role in overthrowing Iran’s democratically elected government in 1953, our handling of the Vietnam war (where we were either wrong for going in or wrong for getting out). Republicans who take credit

for toppling Saddam Hussein often forget that the U.S. provided help to him during the Iran-Iraq war. Even though Saudi Arabia is a repressive monarchy, presidents have always treasured it as an ally because of its immense oil reserves. Democracy in Tehran? For sure. In Riyadh? Let’s not get carried away. Obama’s critics think it’s shameful for him to decry the brutal treatment of enemy captives. But if he had lost in 2008, we would have a president — John McCain — who is on record saying that the Bush administration used torture, that it “harmed us,” and that it should “never happen again.” Ronald Reagan didn’t believe that pride is the only acceptable sentiment about our history. He made one of the most extravagant apologies ever by signing a law providing compensation to Japanese-Americans who were locked in internment camps during World War II. Said Reagan: “Here we admit a wrong; here we reaffirm our commitment as a nation to equal justice under the law.” Imagine that — admitting we were wrong merely because it was true. Even George W. Bush was not above confessing American misdeeds to foreign audiences. In 2005, he traveled to Latvia to publicly disavow the post-World War II deal that consigned it to the loving embrace of Josef Stalin. The Yalta agreement, said Bush, “followed in the unjust tradition of Munich and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Once again, when powerful governments negotiated, the freedom of small nations was somehow expendable.” Obama no more deserves condemnation for recognizing our dark moments than does Bush. No government is perfect, and no nation is exempt from the temptations of self-interest and hypocrisy. We’ve all known people who can never admit error or make amends to those they have wronged. We do not regard such people as strong and wise. We regard them as weak and immature. A vice in an individual is not a virtue in a president. Romney ends his book by quoting from “America the Beautiful”: “America! America! God shed his grace on thee.” Never mind another of the lyricist’s hopes for her country: “God mend thine every flaw.”

Repeal Obamacare? Unlikely VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist There seems to be growing optimism among some Republicans that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finagles the votes to pass Obamacare, the GOP triumphantly will sweep into power and immediately repeal it. Though short-term GOP gains are almost certain, there are numerous problems with this kind of quixotic thinking. To begin with, there exists almost no historical evidence to suggest Republicans will possess either the fortitude or the power to undo a massive government entitlement program. Can we trust them? Most of you will remember it was the Republican Party’s leadership that pressured conservatives to vote for the fiscally irresponsible Medicare Part D program in 2003. (Democrats like to argue that this illustrates GOP hypocrisy. Perhaps. With Obamacare, the GOP has a chance at redemption.) Then there are conspicuous problems to consider. Republicans do not possess 60 votes in the Senate — and likely won’t for a while. Best-case scenario: They will have to deal with a president

who will veto their efforts to undo the sole “accomplishment” of his presidency. Obama spent last week campaigning for health care reform, at one point getting some college-age fans worked up about all the free stuff — “free” preventive care and “free” checkups and so forth — they would receive if his version of health care reform passed. Which brings us to another stumbling block. If health care is now a “right” and “free” to an ever-growing group of Americans — people who believe stuff can be had for “free”— are Republicans really going to snatch it away from them? You can picture the hideous debate already, as Republicans fold in the face of accusations that they are working for the murderous profit-mongers against the underprivileged victims of a wretched capitalistic system. (Even today, Jim Bunning stood nearly alone.) Admittedly, the GOP also has a few things going for it. If enacted, perhaps no other major federal program will have been more unpopular with the American people. A new Rasmussen survey claims only 25 percent of Americans believe Obamacare would “help the U.S. economy.” Fifty percent of the nation believes it would hurt the economy, and 78 percent of those polled believe the middle class would be paying the bill. Sixty-six percent of Americans believe the plan would increase the federal deficit, and 10 percent, apparently, will believe anything. Republicans are now also free to unsheathe a seldomused weapon to push through

legislation. The Democrats have already made the case that ignoring committee hearings and relying on unilateral parliamentary tricks — despite the objections of the lowly proles — is acceptable, as long as you deem a bill important enough. Republicans also have the advantage of utilizing the Democrats’ own deception on cost estimates. Most of the imagined benefits of Obamacare would not kick in until 2014, so Republicans have a few years’ cushion to move forward as seniors lose their Medicare Advantage program and taxes begin to rise along with premiums. But none of that can erase history. Once government infiltrates, it rarely retreats. There are precious few examples of federal programs shrinking rather than growing — most often in extraordinary ways. Democrats know it. Perhaps a re-branded Republican Party will be able to deflect the emotionalism of liberal arguments and reject the lure of spending, though the past decade hasn’t exactly inspired confidence. Soon enough, we’ll find out whether the GOP has transformed into a party that matches its rhetoric. But repealing Obamacare? That’s a tall order.

SPILL

OBITUARIES

From page 1 workers were first called to the manhole on Aug. 3 and within a day had a bypass installed around the failed section of pipe. On Aug. 8, repairs to the pipeline were completed and it was returned to service. The report stated “insufficient data exists to quantify the duration and volume of the sanitary sewer overflow with certainty.� Reduced flows to the wastewater treatment plant on Lake Road initially were observed on July 14 when influent flow levels dropped. Brown and Caldwell developed a model to estimate the difference between measured and expected flows at the treatment plant between July 14 and Aug. 4. The model indicated that metered flows were between 12.5 and 15 million gallons lower than typical volumes under the rainfall conditions during that timespan. “The release of this document is an essential component of the City of Thomasville’s comprehensive strategy to address sewer collection issues,� said Craver. “The city is moving forward to correct sewer collection system shortcomings, better train its personnel and better equip itself to meet future sewer challenges.� Brown and Caldwell listed five measures the city should take to avoid another spill due to pipe failure. The city has to replace the remaining corroded sewer pipe and manhole downhill of the spill location at BCH, implement standard operating procedures for review of wastewater treatment plant influent flow data, conduct a critical analysis of the system to identify high risk assets likely to result in another failure, inspect high risk sewers and manholes using closed-circuit television and digital cameras, and develop and implement a repair and replacement plan. Craver said the city has already appropriated $600,000 to replace the BCH collector line, but another $2 million is needed. Craver said he is seeking help from Congressmen Mel Watt and Howard Coble to get money from the state to avoid passing the expense on to taxpayers. “There is never a good time for a massive expense like this,� Craver said. “Had we had plans in place before stimulus money became available, I’m sure we would’ve qualified for some of it. That time has passed. I’m looking under every rock possible so we can continue making improvements to our collection system.� Craver added that work is expected to start on the BCH collector line with 60 days.

CALENDAR TODAY BASEBALL Ledford @ Reynolds 6 p.m. BASKETBALL NJCAA Tourney DCCC vs Roxbury 6 p.m. GOLF W. Davidson @ Ledford 3 p.m.

Davidson County Community College has arrived in Delhi, NY, in search of a National Junior College Athletic Association Division III national championship. “We are not in Thomasville, that is for sure,” coach Matt Ridge said in a phone interview Tuesday. Playing big-time basketball has landed them in a big-time place, as the Storm prepare for a quarterfinal contest with Roxbury (Mass.) Community College today at 6 p.m. Davidson (29-4) will play a Roxbury squad that is nearly identical to Montgomery College-Germantown, the team the Storm beat 85-83 to advance to the national tournament. Playing an up and down pace, Roxbury can fill up the scoreboard with points, but so can DCCC. “We are hoping we can stop them from scoring, but it does not look like too many people have been able to do that this year,” said Ridge. Roxbury (23-3) is the No. 4 ranked team in the latest Division III poll, and has three play-

ers that could cause plenty of worry for Davidson. Forward Jeffrey Cannon averages 26 points, which is good enough for fourth in the nation at this level. Ravon Dunbar averages 24 points per game and Darnell Martin controls the inside averaging 14 points, 13 boards and six blocks. Davidson will see plenty of pressure from Roxbury, which uses its athleticism to its advantage and tries to get into a fast-paced game. DCCC can be careless with the ball at times, so each possession is an important one. “They play a lot like we do, said Ridge. “One of the keys to the game is whether or not we turn the ball over. Their offense is created by their defense. If we take care of the ball we should have a decent chance at the end.” Justin Glover leads DCCC in scoring with a 19.3 average. He and point guard Phillip Williams contained the guards of Montgomery, but keeping up with Roxbury will be a bit tougher. The Storm will play again Friday regardless of what happens in the quarterfinals. Each team plays three games to decide the final seedings.

East Davidson’s Justin Hulin watches the flight of the ball as does Southwest Guilford catcher Elliott Slack on Wednesday at East. The Cowboys dropped the Golden Eagles 12-6.

Eagles lose 12-6 contest to Cowboys Questionable call allows Southwest Guilford to score six runs in 2nd BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor The beauty of baseball. A sport where judgement calls can change the entire makeup and flow, which can lead to big things. Southwest Guilford used a call by the first base umpire to its advantage on Wednesday, cashing in on six second inning runs to surge by East Davidson 12-6 in nonconference action. The Cowboys were up 2-1 at the time, and had one man on with two outs. Elliot Slack hit a grounder to third that was fielded East’s Tyler Lequire and thrown on to first. Lequire’s throw was just a hair off the

mark, but first baseman Preston Gammons appeared to have handled it and stayed on the bag. The field umpire saw it differently, saying Gammons’ foot had come off the sack. That allowed the inning to continue, and the Cowboys jumped on the extra life. Southwest scored six times in the frame, finished off by Matt Orth’s grand slam off Keaton Hawks to lead 8-1. “Good teams, when they get extra opportunities wind up taking advantage of it,” said Golden Eagle coach Dan Tricarico. “A lot of credit to them for getting the

clutch hits and taking advantage of their opportunities.” East got one back in the second with an RBI single by Justin Weavil, and showed life in the fourth as Weavil again plated one with a single and Lequire drove home another with a double. A third run also crossed, turning a sizable Cowboy lead into a close 8-6 contest. “I was pleased with our guys battling back and not packing it in,” Tricarico said. “I see a lot of promise for us down the road.” A run in the fifth gave Southwest a little working room, then a two-run

homer by Brock Hudgens in the sixth made it an 116 game. Andrew Madsen tacked on one more for good measure in the seventh on a solo shot. Hawks took the loss for East lasting three innings. Braxton Shetley did well in relief over the middle innings before Avery Bowles came in to relieve him with one out in the sixth. Madsen got credit for the win going four innings for the Cowboys. Weavil had three hits and two RBI for East while Hawks added two hits including an RBI triple in the first inning. Lequire, Luis Tejada and Justin Mounts also had two hits each. East will visit Trinity on Friday.

WALLBURG — Central Davidson pitcher Cody Beck, baffled Ledford hitters all night long on Tuesday, striking out 10 in five innings to lead the Spartans past the Panthers 3-2 in a non-league contest. Beck, a lefty, mixed his speeds effectively, using the fastball as an out pitch against many of the batters he faced. When he left after five innings, he had given up no runs and yielded only one hit. “Beck kept us off balance all day and only gave up one hit,” said LHS coach Kemp Smith. “Right now, we are kind of sitting back on our heels which is not our nature. We like to be aggressive, but you do have to tip your hat to him.” Central plated the first run in the third inning when Brett Woodard doubled down the line in right and came home on an RBI single to right by Landon Clark. The Spartans were hungry for more as a hit-and-run single by Beck moved Clark to third, but Ledford hurler Brian Connolly shut the rally down striking out the next two batters to end the half inning. CDHS tacked on a pair in the fifth off Connolly, as a single and error put runners on first and second with no outs. They were successfully sacrificed over by Ethan Conrad’s bunt. Connolly got the second out himself with a strikeout, and was a few pitches away from escaping again. Colby

Duke bench could play important role during postseason run BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — In theory, Duke can’t do much better than it did in the regular season. In Duke junior Nolan Smith’s theoretical take on the team, the Blue Devils actually can do much better in the postseason. The Blue Devils are the No. 4-ranked team in the nation and the top seed heading into their ACC Tournament opener Friday, but they haven’t come close to their potential in Smith’s estimation because their bench is only beginning to scratch the surface of its potential. “If the team reaches that point, it will be scary,� Smith said. “We have so much talent on this team, with guys like Mason and Miles [Plumlee] and Andre [Dawkins] who are still figuring out their roles and can play their roles even better than they are right now. “Both of [the Plumlees], they can do so much, whether it’s going up for an offensive rebound and dunking on somebody or blocking shots. Defensively, when they finally get to help-side every time, people won’t be able to get layups or anything in the paint. “And Andre, he’s a scorer. In practice, he scores in so many ways, more than just shooting [3-pointers]. If we can get all that before the end of

the year, it’s going to be tremendous.� But it is realistic that young players such as Dawkins, Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly — all freshmen — could put it all together this late in the season? Sophomore Miles Plumlee, the elder of the group, certainly believes so. “I think that’s definitely true,� Plumlee said. “That’s going to be a big thing for our team as the tournaments go along. “Me, Ryan, ’Dre and Mason, we’re all talented. We can all help the team out. When we come in and really play strong defense and play confident, we can really take our team to another level.� After Plumlee put up 19 points and 14 rebounds in an ultra-physical game against Wake Forest in mid-January, it took him 10 games to total 19 more points. He has, however, started to again show signs of Smith’s vision for the reserves, scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds over Duke’s final three regular-season games. It’s much the same story for Dawkins, who has 16 points and four 3-pointers over the last three games after scoring 15 points with three 3-pointers over Duke’s previous 12 games. No one is pulling for the reserves harder than the starters. That’s particularly the case with senior Brian Zoubek, who

replaced Miles Plumlee in the starting lineup for the last seven games of the regular season and clearly is playing the best basketball of his college career. “I’m finally playing well, and it’s the very, very end of my career,� Zoubek said. “I certainly don’t want them to wait. Selfishly, this is the end of my career, and I need them to win.� Duke’s subs share the sentiment. “There’s always a little frustration, but that’s part of the motivation to get better,� Miles Plumlee said. “When you see what the other guys are doing and you know what you can do, you’re thinking, ‘Why don’t I start playing

like that?’ “It’s all good motivation. It isn’t a negative mindset or anything.� So if the subs aren’t playing fully to their potential, what exactly is holding them back? “The biggest thing is just realizing that there’s nothing holding us back,� Plumlee said. “I think I’ve realized that. I just hope all of us get that same mentality.� Duke’s veterans, especially the seniors who are embarking on their final postseason, are hoping for the same. “Since the beginning of the year, I’ve said this team has a really high ceiling,� said senior Jon Scheyer, who was named a second-team All-Amer-

ica by Sporting News on Tuesday. “They’re young. They have a lot of room to grow still. They’re re-

ally good players. “From the beginning, I’ve really known they can help us a lot.�

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future. There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modiďŹ ed adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA. Call today to schedule an appointment to learn more. We’ll discuss your retirement goals to help determine if a Roth IRA makes sense for you. Edward Jones, its employees and ďŹ nancial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice.

SPORTS

Harvick at home in Hot-Lanta Leading into any given NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race weekend, you always hear a lot of talk about hometown heroes. In Las Vegas, it focused on Kurt and Kyle Busch. In Richmond, Va., Denny Hamlin and Jeff Burton find themselves even more popular than usual. At Auto Club Speedway, native Californians like Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon get a lot of attention; no big surprise there. But you can’t help wondering if all the drivers necessarily consider their hometowns as their home tracks. Kevin Harvick is a great example. The NASCAR world was still reeling from the death of Dale Earnhardt when the 2001 race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway rolled around. Every track on the series circuit that year would carry its own memories of Earnhardt, but perhaps none more so than AMS, where “The Intimidator� to this day holds the records for most wins, most top five finishes, and fastest race speed. He loved the place, and it loved him right back. Just one year earlier, he and Bobby Labonte gave fans a finish that still ranks as one of the closest and most thrilling in NASCAR history. But this year, the familiar black No. 3 was gone, replaced by its aesthetic opposite, a startlingly white No. 29 Chevy piloted by a largely unfamiliar driver, called up by owner Richard Childress to fill the most famous seat in racing — 25-yearold Kevin Harvick. Hacks don’t catch the eye of seasoned team owners like Mr. Childress, and Harvick had already proven he could drive. After working his way up through the gokart, various NASCAR touring series and Camp-

ON NASCAR

CATHY ELLIOTT NASCAR Columnist ing World Truck Series ranks, Richard Childress Racing brought him on board in 2000 to compete full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, where he won Rookie of the Year honors. He was well on his way to securing a spot in NASCAR’s premier Sprint Cup Series, but no one suspected it would come quite so soon, or so tragically. The 2001 race in Atlanta was only Harvick’s third career start in the Cup Series. Fans were conflicted. Earnhardt’s car was on the track, but some new guy was now driving it. On the flip side, most Earnhardt fans already liked his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., by association, and he, too, was competing at Atlanta. But being jolted into choosing a new driver allegiance is a task much easier said than done. Where should their loyalties lie? At the end of that day, no doubt remained. Whether Earnhardt fans eventually aligned themselves with Junior, Harvick or a different driver entirely, every person at the racetrack on March 11, 2001, along with the millions watching at home, simultaneously cheered and cried as the No. 29 took the checkered flag, giving Harvick his first Cup win and the NASCAR community some small sense of closure.

Nine years later, a very different Kevin Harvick — who originally hails from California, by the way — walked through the gates of Atlanta Motor Speedway. He is a NASCAR success story now. He has won 11 Sprint Cup Series points paying races, including the 2007 Daytona 500. He was the 2001 and 2006 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion, and his company, Kevin Harvick Inc., has won two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championships with driver Ron Hornaday Jr., in 2007 and 2009. He is motivated, sometimes controversial and extremely popular. And headed into the March 7 race at Atlanta, he was the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader. Talk about coming full circle. Sometimes, our memories and emotions can serve the same purpose as city limit signs, constituting the boundaries of home. NASCAR drivers are a superstitious group, and to a man, each one can tell you where he got his first win, and how that particular spot will always hold a special place in his heart or, to put it another way, will take up residence and live there forever. Author Christian Morgenstern once said that home is not where you live, but where they understand you. If that is true, then Kevin Harvick must have experienced a strong sense of homecoming at Atlanta Motor Speedway, never forgetting that for one emotional day nearly a decade ago, he, the track and everyone in it understood each other completely.

Body and Mind

Go Yoga! Have you ever tried yoga? Yoga (YOH-gah) is an ancient practice and form of fitness. It can help people be healthy and feel good by building selfawareness, strength and flexibility in both mind and body. This week, The Mini Page learns more about this popular practice.

Alexandria and Julia practice yoga with their mom, who is an instructor, or yogi. Kids can learn many things from yoga practice, such as self-esteem, better focus and concentration, and respect for themselves and others.

Yoga postures, or asanas (AH-sahnahs), are practiced by people of all ages all over the world. People don’t have to be athletic or in great shape to do yoga. Practicing yoga helps relieve stress and pain, improves circulation and digestion, and improves balance and concentration. Yoga is non-competitive and fun to learn for kids and adults. Sometimes kids feel pressure or stress about their schoolwork, their friends or about competitive sports. They might become too critical of themselves and lose confidence. Yoga can help; there is no judgment in doing a pose “perfectly.� Instead, yoga encourages people to learn to relax and have fun while practicing.

Who practices yoga?

Starting out

Many experts believe there is a strong connection between our mind and our body. Emotions and worries can show up in our bodies as tension, pain and upset stomachs. When we feel sad, we can be more likely to get sick. If we can learn to release the tension in the body, the mind will relax, too. In yoga, guided imagery is used to help our imagination change our emotions and our body. An instructor leads our thoughts so that we become relaxed and focused. Breathing connects the body to the mind and helps create calmness.

Starting yoga is easy. s 9OU need a clean floor and a mat. You should also have plenty of room to stretch and move. s 7EAR comfortable clothes that move with you and that don’t dig in when you bend. s (AVE AN EMPTY stomach. Wait an hour after eating to do yoga.

Let’s Learn Yoga Are you interested in practicing yoga? Many communities have classes you can take. You might also rent or buy DVDs or videotapes that will guide you through the different poses. Let’s learn a few here.

Be a warrior In warrior pose, you step back with the right foot parallel to the back of your mat. The left knee is bent, and you are low over the floor. Your left knee points toward your left little toe. Your right leg is straight. Your arms are outstretched, palms down, and you are looking over your left hand. Stay here for a few breaths, working on balance. This is good for making your legs and core strong as it opens your chest. You can also do this on the other side.

Now straighten out the left leg, and lean out over it with your left hand. Reach down to your ankle or calf, and reach up with your right hand. Both legs are straight. You are in triangle pose, or trikonasana. This standing pose is good for your mind and balance. Don’t forget to do the other side!

It’s twisted For seated twist pose, you cross your right foot over your left knee; your left leg can be straight out or bent in to go deeper. Stretch your left arm out straight along the outside of your right knee, while your right hand is on the floor behind your right hip. Turn your head to look over your right shoulder. Now do the other side.

Namaste! (I honor you!)

Like a child Child’s pose is sitting back on your feet and stretching out your arms along the mat in front of you. Close your eyes and relax. This will calm you down and help you trust in yourself.

Some yoga classes end with shavasana. Lie on your back and close your eyes. Allow your body to relax. Picture every muscle of your body softening, and pay attention to your breath going in and out. When you are ready to return to your day, roll onto your right side for a few breaths before you sit up.

Yoga for You It’s time to try yoga! Look at the illustrations and follow them as closely as you can to be safe and for correct alignment. Remember to do each pose on both sides. We are going to start with a sun salutation (sal-yoo-TA-shun). Salutation means “greeting.�

Str-r-e-t-t-ch Step back with your right foot so you are in a lunge with your back heel off the floor. Gently push your hips back and forth as you lower them toward the floor. Hold for a few breaths. This helps to open up your hips. It also teaches balance.

Focus on breathing Stand straight, close your eyes, and focus on your breath through your nose, down your throat, into your chest and belly, back out again. This is called the mountain pose. Open your eyes and stretch your arms up alongside your head. Breathe in as you look up. Bend forward and exhale. This pose is called forward fold. It will help calm you and stretch your legs, and open your spine and chest. Reach to the floor and start a gentle sway side to side, like an elephant’s trunk. Bring both hands to the mat. Take a few breaths.

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

Be strong Step the left foot back to join the right. Now you are in a plank pose. Slowly lower the body toward the floor. This is sort of like a push-up, but with the elbows held tight to the ribs as you go down. This is called chaturanga. If it’s too hard to hold, put your knees on the floor. From here, let your hips down and gently push your hands into the floor. Look up toward the ceiling or sky as you inhale. This is called upwardfacing dog. This pose is a good energizer, especially for students and adults who sit at desks for much of the day. It helps open your heart and chest.

Yael: What did the yoga instructor say to get his dog to lie down? Yasmin: “Downward dog�!

Next, take your hips up to the sky with your hands and feet both on the floor. Exhale. Your head hangs down and your eyes look up toward your belly button. Open up all the fingers and put your palms to the floor. This is called downward dog pose. Stay here and try to push your heels down into the mat as you lift up your tail. Relax here for a few breaths. Feel your shoulders and spine stretch. This is a good pose to come back to anytime.

Greet the day! From here, inhale and lift your right leg forward into a lunge — just like where you were before, but on the other side. Ease your hips lower to the floor and back and forth a little to stretch them out. Now step your left leg up to join your right and stand up. You are back in mountain pose. Relax and breathe. Try this whole series again, maybe as many times as your age. Each time you do it you will be able to stretch a little farther. The Mini Page thanks yoga instructor Dawn Torti of Arlington, Va., for help with this issue.

of people actively looking for work who can’t find a job in the state is 502,533. “We did have a lot more people in the labor force find employment,” said ESC spokesperson Larry Parker. “Unfortunately, not everyone found employment and that increased the unemployment rate slightly. Even when an economic situation gets better, you get more people entering the labor force looking for work and sometimes that drives the unemployment rate up. We’ve been pretty consistent since May.” There is good news for those receiving unem-

ployment benefits. The Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that extends the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program through the end of the year. The previous extension was set to expire on April 5. “The program initially was scheduled to end at the end of December,” Parker said. “If someone just entered their first extension [of unemployment benefits] and the program ended in April, there would no chance to get the same money others have already received. This should help a lot of folks continue receiving their benefits. We had 6,500 people the last week of February run out of unemployment.”

Robbery suspect nabbed

Thomasville Police Department arrested a man for allegedly robbing two area gas stations last month. Gilbert Lee Collison Jr., 35, of 260 Shoreline Drive, is facing multiple charges, including two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault by pointing a gun and possession of a firearm by a felon, for his alleged role in a pair of robberies at the Fast Track on Randolph Street and the Citgo Fastrack in Lexington on Feb. 7. TPD said Collison entered the businesses with a shotgun and demanded money. Collison was issued a $150,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in Thomasville District Court on March 11. He also is facing charges from the Lexington Police Department. A traffic stop Friday night by the Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office led to the

arrest of two men for possessing drugs and driving while drinking.

Traffic stop leads to drug arrests According to a DCSO press release, Amos Franklin Smith, 23, of 321 Castle Drive in Fort Bragg, and Ryan Eugene Bradley, 22, of 2490 Hawkins St. in Gastonia, were stopped for speeding in excess of 100 mph in a 70 mph zone Friday night at 11 p.m. in a 2004 Ford Explorer traveling north on Interstate 85 at mile marker 96. During the stop, officers detected a strong smell of alcohol emitting from the vehicle, driven by Smith. Officers observed two open containers in the center console, and determined Smith was driving while impaired and had a suspended license. Officers also located one ounce of marijuana in Smith’s possession, leading to a probable cause search of the vehicle. The search turned up five more ounces of pot, a set of digital scales and a box of plastic bags. Smith was charged with speeding, driving with a revoked license, careless and reckless driving, open container, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintaining a vehicle for a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was issued a $10,500 secured bond. Bradley is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and open container. He was issued a $10,000 secured bond. Both men are scheduled to appear in court on April 27.

The above Grantor received the above property from The Trustees of Denton Wesleyan Church i n Deed Book 1023, Page 514. The Denton Wesleyan Church was formerly known as the First P i l grim Holiness Church of Denton. These two churches merged in 1968 and became the Denton Wesleyan Church. First Pilgrim Holiness Church was the original owner of the church property having received the major portion of said property in a deed in 1940. After the m e r g e r of the churches in 1968, the church and tract of land became the property of the Denton Wesleyan Church, however, a deed was never recorded to reflect the same.
