Two men charged in recent robbery BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Thomasville Police Department arrested two brothers in connection with last week’s armed robbery of a local beauty salon. Jasmond Tyjan Gillins, 20, of 2711 Ridgeview Court in High Point, and Jasean Terrell Gillins, 21, of 208 White St., were taken into custody Friday for allegedly robbing Total Beauty
Supply at 210 National Highway at gun point. Both Gillins were charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon. TPD had been looking for suspects since Thursday afternoon after receiving a call regarding the armed robbery shortly after 3 p.m. According to a TPD press release, four to five suspects walked into Total Beauty Supply when one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and de-
manded money. The suspects robbed the clerk of his wallet as well as an undisclosed amount of cash from the store and fled in a light-colored Jeep Cherokee. The clerk’s wallet was later found in the store parking lot. TPD’s Criminal Investigations Division, with assistance from Vice Detectives and Special Response Team, executed a search warrant on Friday at 208 White St., believing that
was the address where some of the suspects and property from the robbery were located. As a result of the search warrant, police arrested two of the suspects and found some of the stolen property. TPD said charges are pending on four additional suspects who are believed to have been involved in Thursday’s robbery. Attempts to reach detectives investigating the case on Monday were unsuccessful.

Unilin contract changes approved
United Way short of annual goal
Last year, United Way of Davidson County almost did not reach its campaign goal of $2 million, but an eleventh-hour donation filled in the gap. This year, the organization estimates that it will fall 10 to 15 percent short of the same goal, and it is asking Davidson County citizens to help provide another Christmas miracle. Lee Jessup, president of the United Way of Davidson County, said that while 10 to 15 percent may not seem like much of a gap, it would greatly affect the partner agencies that depend on money from the United Way. These groups, which have had difficulty with their own fund raising projects, are dedicated to helping the local community and aiding those in need.
One of the brothers, Jasmond Gillins, has a criminal background involving firearms. According to the North Carolina Department of Corrections, Jasmond was arrested last April in Guilford County and charged with larceny of a firearm, larceny of a motor vehicle, felony breaking and entering, and obtaining property by writing worthless checks.

Thomasville City Council approved changes to its incentive contract with Unilin Flooring Inc. at its Monday meeting. The amendment will waive the contract’s job requirement if, during one of the past six reporting months prior to a grant request, the unemployment numbers from the N.C. Employment Security Commission were in the double digits. The grant amount paid would be proportionally reduced relative to the percentage of jobs originally required. No citizens spoke against the amendment, and three spoke in favor of it. One of them was Barney Hill, who said he

Winter weather wreaks havoc on weekend travel BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Winter’s early arrival Friday left a weekend full of traffic accidents behind as motorists in Thomasville and throughout Davidson County found the season’s first snowstorm was more than just a passing fancy. Several inches of snow, sleet and ice blanketed much of Davidson County once the predicted storm moved into the area early Friday afternoon, leaving slick roads and emergency workers scrambling to answer the overload of calls. “The radio just started buzzing right around noon Friday” Terry Bailey, emergency communications director for Davidson County, said. “It was one call after another. ”

What’s Inside
Bailey said a total of 212 traffic-related calls poured in from Friday afternoon through Sunday, including 62 involving injuries. A large volume of the emergency calls, Bailey said, came from major roads like Interstate 85 as deteriorating conditions made even subtle accidents much worse. “Sometimes the intestates will become a parking lot,” said Bailey. “Simply because it just becomes impassable. If you’re driving from an area that doesn’t have any ice and is just wet and you run into an area with ice that you’re not expecting, it sends you into a spin if you’re not prepared for it. A lot of times, one accident can turn into several.” In Thomasville, a total of 25 accidents were reported over the weekend

HEALTH
The new, New Year’s Resolution: Get into your own shape LIFELONG HEALTH
DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
Too often, Americans believe that our physical appearance is the best measure of health. We strive for the perfect body — primarily by dieting, diet pills, rapid weight loss programs or perhaps an exercise DVD that sits unused in the cabinet. We hope for youthful skin, masking age with expensive facial creams that promise the impossible, injections that paralyze muscles and even plastic surgery to tighten, lift and “rejuvenate.� Especially as the new year approaches, Americans will do anything to “get into shape� — but whose shape should we get into? When it comes to getting into shape, we need to change the slogan to “find your own healthy shape.� Your shape — the shape of your body, the shape of your health and the shape of your life — is very personal and unique. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to health. It takes so much more than fitting into those skinny jeans to be healthy. So when you consider your health plans for the new year, take some time to re-evaluate and expand your definition of “shape.� Do not just center your goals on losing those extra pounds. Finding your own healthy shape requires a comprehensive approach that involves virtually every element of your life. First, start with the basics. Instead of dieting, commit to learning more about food. Understand that the key to health is eating more of the right foods, not just less of the wrong. Eat the right fats (olive oil, canola oil and omega-3 fatty acids), the right protein (lean meats and fatty fish), more fruits and vegetables, and more wholegrain carbohydrates. Don’t worry about how much you weigh — worry about how much you move. Living an active life is strongly linked to health, happiness and longevity. Get more exercise, but make sure you find an activity that fits into your lifestyle. We are not all meant to run marathons or be iron men! You do not even
need to be “athletic.� Just find an exercise routine that fits your shape. It must be attainable, consistent and should always include a healthy mix of stretching, balance, weight training and aerobic activity. Next, finding your own healthy shape requires you to move beyond fitness and nutrition. Are you passionate about what you do? Do you love life and find joy in your friends, family and community? If not, make a change. Having passion and enthusiasm for life is a huge element of your health. Along with passion comes love. Men and women who experience love live much longer than those who do not. Having a loving partner or friend to share your life absolutely promotes health. This particularly applies to men, who live 10 years longer if they are in longstanding, monogamous relationships. Loneliness must be avoided at all costs, and love should be cultivated whenever possible. Another crucial element of finding your own shape is maintaining good self-esteem. Studies conducted by the Commonwealth Fund have shown that self-love, or high self-esteem, is among the most powerful predictors of longevity. You must feel good about yourself, your image and your body. If you do not love yourself, you will never be satisfied and your health will suffer. Remember the shape of your spiritual health as well. Whether you are religious or not, we can all benefit from the core
tenets of all spiritual teachings to be a good person, treat others kindly, give of yourself and forgive those around you. Find more faith in yourself and in those around you; it will not only cultivate a sense of peace. but will also benefit your physical health. Lastly, be more educated and more empowered about your health. Have regular medical checkups and require your primary care physician to focus on early detection and prevention. If you develop an illness, learn as much as possible about the problem and become actively involved in treatment decisions. In the end, finding your own healthy shape is easy — it’s intuitive. Be a good person and make every effort possible to live a healthy life. Find more passion, be more faithful, get more active and be more loving. Remember, the pursuit of health happens every day, in every aspect of your life. So, don’t wait!

PPG donates funds to Pastor’s Pantry, Meals on Wheels TIMES STAFF REPORT
In 2009, the PPG Industries Foundation donated $2,000 each to Pastor’s Pantry and the local Meals on Wheels for operating support. Pastor’s Pantry provides groceries to seniors who sometimes have to choose between buying medicine and buying something to eat, according to Bill Keesler, executive director of the organization. “The financial support and volunteers from PPG have helped Pastor’s Pantry to provide food for an increased number of needy seniors in Davidson County,� he said. “We are currently supplying 425 Davidson County residents with food each month, with assistance from volunteers including several PPG employees who deliver groceries. A year and a half ago, Pastor’s Pantry
had just 300 clients.� Bob Husted, coordinator for Meals on Wheels, said the volunteer-staffed organization prepares and delivers well-balanced meals to individuals who are elderly, homebound, disabled, frail or at risk and live independently rather than in institutions. “With PPG’s help, we continue to serve people in Lexington and the surrounding community who cannot prepare adequate meals for themselves,� Husted said. “By providing this service, Meals on Wheels helps to improve these people’s lives and health.� Todd Douthit, plant manager at PPG’s fiber glass manufacturing facility in Lexington, said, “PPG is strongly committed to supporting the communities where its employees work and live. We are proud to aid both Pastor’s Pantry and
Meals on Wheels in their efforts to help people in our region to get muchneeded groceries and nutritious meals for free. These are very difficult times, and we’re very happy to be able to assist valuable organizations such as these in helping our neighbors.� Established in 1951, the PPG Industries Foundation demonstrates the values of PPG Industries by enhancing the quality of life in communities where the company has a presence. Interests of the foundation, in order of priority, are education, human services, culture and arts, and civic and community affairs. PPG also supports charitable causes by encouraging employee volunteerism.

The new DCCC Transportation Technology Center is the first campus facility built only with grant funds. “This is a true example of how the public and private sector can work together to make a project come together with a mission, vision and a plan,� Erulkar said. A long and arduous process preceded the first shovel of dirt that was turned in October 2008 to begin construction of the building. Before the federal grant was written and approved, DCCC Trustees made several trips to Washington, D.C. to share their vision of providing a center that would allow DCCC to expand its transportation technology services to regional employers. Next, DCCC leaders put their vision into words and applied for the competitive federal grant. Shortly after it was awarded, DCCC applied for and received matching funds from the state. Finally, the GoldenLEAF Foundation provided the final $300,000 needed to enclose the diesel bays. Many area and regional companies wrote letters of support for the project, stating their confidence in DCCC with its excellent geographic position in the middle of a state with a good transporta-
tion system. The college’s advanced technology will allow a new concentration in logistics services, providing crucial information about products and services that are moved around the globe. The center’s design uses a wide corridor to divide the public space from the large adaptable classrooms and heavy equipment and automotive bays. This allows prospective students and visitors views of the learning environment where biofuels and other alternative energy sources will be studied and investigated and diesel and gasoline engines will be diagnosed and repaired. “Through this process, we learned that our idea was the right idea,� said President Rittling, referring to the idea of targeting specific needs in the transportation, technology and logistics industry. “Collectively, we will provide a much-needed service for our community which is the heart and soul and mission of the community college.� The general contractor for the $1.8 million project was Morlando-Holden Construction of Greensboro.

The ribbon surrounding the new Davidson County Community College Transportation Technology Center will be cut at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 5 to signify the opening of the newest college facility on the Davidson Campus. The center houses the new DCCC Heavy Equipment and Transport Technology program that incorporates diesel engine repair and logistics in its curriculum. Also housed in the new center is the expanded Automotive Technology program that outgrew its quarters in the Sinclair Building. Students will begin classes in the new center on Monday, Jan. 11 when the spring 2009 semester opens. The 11,350-square-foot facility includes bays large enough to hold tractor trailers as well as massive, earth-moving machinery. It was built using $810,000 in grant funds from the United States Department of Commerce and Economic Development, $850,000 from a North Carolina Facilities and Equipment grant, and a $300,000 award from the GoldenLEAF Foundation. The center’s design allows for multiple uses and easy adaptation to meet the evolving needs of regional transportation employers. It will help DCCC students prepare for as many as 600 projected new jobs expected in the logistics and transportation fields in coming years. B e n j a m i n Erulkar,deputy assistant secretary of commerce for the U.S. Department of Commerce and Economic Development, presented DCCC President Mary Rittling with the $810,000 federal award on June 4, 2007. He described how effective economic development is when it’s locally generated as in the case of the DCCC facility.

I asked myself this question over and over as I traveled over the last few days though the lands where Jesus grew up, preached, healed, confronted the established authorities, and ultimately was crucified. My travels inspired and enlightened me. But they gave no answer to the question about the possibility of peace in the Holy Land. As to a possible solution to the Arab-Israeli confrontation, Davidson College history professor Jonathan Berkey, who accompanied our group, summed it up discouragingly as follows: “There are presently no grounds for a solution that is peaceful and fair.” Someday, he explained, the situation will resolve itself. But it is not likely to be soon, nor will it likely be peaceful and fair. A few days ago in Jerusalem, I found myself in the middle of a large protest demonstration, with TV cameras, chanting, and lots of “handmade” looking placards held high. “What is this all about?” I asked someone. “We are protesting the suspension of construction in the settlements.” I remembered that the “suspension” was the action of Israel’s conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Many Americans had criticized his action because it allowed much settlement construction to continue. “So, this is about settlements in the West Bank?” I asked. “As you say,” he answered. “But, it is not the ‘West Bank;’ it is Israel.” As long as so many in Israel insist that the occupied areas of Palestine are part of Israel, it is going to be hard to find a peaceful common ground. Conflict is not limited to the Palestinian-Israeli impasse. In the holy city of Jerusalem, Jews and Christians argue among themselves in a manner out of character with the holy books that are their guides.
Secular and non-orthodox Jews resent the powers and privileges of the ultra-orthodox. Their political parties, though small, have gained political advantage by joining the governing coalitions in Israel’s parliament. While other Israeli young people have mandatory military service, the ultra orthodox are exempt. Their religious studies are subsidized. So, according to their critics, they study, rather than work, their entire lives. Their critics accuse them of ruining good neighborhoods by crowding their large families into houses designed for families with one or two children, neglecting their gardens, and enforcing severe Sabbath restrictions throughout the area. The resentments and conflicts bubble over. So do the arguments of the Christians about control of their holy sites. Within the Church of the Holy Sepulture are, according to tradition, the sites of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. The shrines that mark these spots and other parts of the building are under the control of different Christian sects. Maintenance of the overall building, its roof and exteriors, is an extra problem. Since nobody is in overall charge, nobody accepts responsibility. As to who controls access to the building, the matter is settled by long-standing arrangements in which Muslim families control the entry door and the keys. From time to time there are misunderstandings that lead to confrontations among the Christians. Ironically, these Christian conflicts have to be broken up by the Israeli police. On the site of the Temple, where Jesus confronted the money changers, Muslims long ago constructed the beautiful “Dome of the Rock.” Even though the State of Israel controls all of Jerusalem, it allows Muslim clerics to control that site. In turn, the clerics limit access to the interior of the building to other Muslims, even though it is an important site for many Christians and Jews. The peace that shepherds and wise men hoped for more than 2000 years ago is still “hoped for” today.
How to make enemies on health care VIEWPOINT
STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist Barack Obama hoped to unify the nation, and he is making impressive progress toward that goal. Last week, he created common ground between Howard Dean and conservatives. They agree on one thing, which is that the health care reform package produced by the Senate and endorsed by the president richly deserves to be voted down. Conservatives have always opposed ObamaCare because it involves too much government. Now liberals are abandoning the administration’s plan because it involves too little. Dean and Co. are bitter that the bills in Congress offer neither a “public option” — a government-run insurance program — nor a provision letting those from age 55 to 64 buy Medicare coverage. It’s OK to alienate people at each end of the political spectrum if you please those in between. But the so-called moderates on Capitol Hill are proving no help to the president. On the contrary, they have discovered that the middle of the road is an ideal place to block traffic. Sen. Susan Collins, RMaine, once thought to be open to supporting the plan, now says she probably won’t. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, IConn., got his way when the Senate dropped the government-run options, but even
he is not a sure “yes” vote. Sen. Olympia Snowe, RMaine, denounced attempts to use “artificially generated haste” to get the bill through, which doesn’t make her sound like she’s on Obama’s side. Sen. Ben Nelson, DNeb., is holding out unless he gets tighter restrictions on abortion coverage. Even proclaimed supporters make it clear they are settling for a pale facsimile of what they really want. Obama seems to have created a split between those who are critical of his efforts and those who are ungrateful. So he may not get an overhaul passed at all. If he does, it may cost him control of Congress in next year’s elections. In the worst (or best) case, it may help unseat him in 2012. In any case, it won’t make him a lot of friends anytime soon. But Obama has no one to blame except himself. He made the mistake of thinking that because Americans elected him on a promise of overhauling health care, they agreed on what that means. If Americans were unified on a plausible change in the system, however, they probably would have gotten it long ago. The reality is that either they don’t know exactly what they want or they want things that are incompatible — more benefits and lower costs, more regulation and less government, lower premiums and life eternal. They demand change while demanding the preservation of everything they like about the status quo. Health care “reform” is hard because a given goal is likely to come at the expense of another. According to a recent George Washington University Battleground Poll, 41 percent of Americans think the main goal should be lowering costs. But
they don’t really mean it. Lowering costs is easy: Just reduce benefits. But try that, and you’ll be charged with plotting to ration treatment and set up death panels. What people generally mean when they say they want lower costs is that they want to pay less without getting less. Heck, yes. The latest ABC News/ Washington Post poll found that 51 percent of Americans don’t want Congress to pass a health care bill this year, with only 44 percent favoring legislation. The longer the debate goes on, the less support there is. Granted, many of them may have only the vaguest idea of what the legislation would actually do. Ignorance about government programs is often bliss, but in this case, complexity and impenetrability work against change. Major changes in our economy and social welfare system need a broad public consensus, which does not exist on health care. Given that most Americans are happy with both the quality of care they get and their own insurance coverage, they see more to lose than to gain from any alteration they don’t understand. Doing nothing is the default option. Everyone regards the bill too hot or too cold, too big or too small, too soft or too hard — never just right. When it comes to changes in health care, Obama is discovering, the average American is not Goldilocks. More like the princess and the pea.

giving incentives to businesses that did not live up to their agreements. “I think Unilin should be more apt to give an account to the taxpayers,” Harrison said. “I think if we’re going to give a company incentives, we need to make them accountable.” Council member Scott Styers responded that the incentive contracts are designed to grant a portion of the tax money that a business pays to the city, so the overall economic impact of an incentive grant should not be a loss. Council member Neal Grimes also spoke in favor of the amendment, which passed unanimously. “We don’t just give them what they ask for,” Grimes said. “If they meet certain goals, they get the amount of the grant.

Grimsley scores 25 points to pace EDHS BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Transition was the name of the game Monday evening for the East Davidson Lady Golden Eagles. With the defense creating turnovers, East was able to run the fast break with ease, coasting past rival Ledford 63-47 in nonconference play. Haley Grimsley had another tremendous offensive performance with a game-high 25 points, scoring much of those out ahead of the pack for easy layups. Backcourt mate Candace Fox contributed 15 points, as she was usually on the other end of the play passing the ball ahead to Grimsley. Fox also had 11 steals and seven assists. “Defense keys our offense, so we have to come out immediately and work to get out running,” East head coach Brian Eddinger. “Whenever we can get that going as part of offense, everything seems to flow easier out of it.” Before the tandem of Grimsley and Fox put their running shoes on, they were busy working on the perimeter. Grimsley connected on two 3pointers and Fox one to open up a 15-4 East lead in the first quarter. Chelsea Freeman was busy for Ledford trying to keep them in contention, creating many scoring chances with her dribble netting 15 points for the

Her three-point play with 5:00 showing in the second quarter got the Lady Panthers within seven at 22-15, until an East run of 7-1 sent the lead out to 13. Grimsley began to really take over in the third
quarter, scoring 11 points in the frame. Many of them came off steals and runouts for easy layups, as the lead expanded to 53-35 by the end of the quarter. As the case has been for much of the season, when Fox gets out in

Duke defense overwhelms Gonzaga BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun NEW YORK — On defense, the Duke Blue Devils played like a near-perfect team. On offense, lead guards Nolan Smith and Jon Scheyer played like a near-perfect tandem. Smith and Scheyer combined to outscore No. 15 Gonzaga’s entire team Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, putting up 44 points to lead the seventh-ranked Blue Devils to a 76-41 victory. “That’s unbelievable,” said Scheyer, who had 20 to Smith’s 24. “I think that says more about our defense than anything.” For the second straight game at Madison Square Garden, Duke’s defense posted a performance of his-
toric proportions. The Blue Devils (9-1) held Gonzaga (8-3) to its lowest scoring output since few had even heard of Gonzaga — a 1984 loss at Iowa — and handed the Bulldogs their most lopsided loss since 1990. In the NIT Season Tip-Off title game against Connecticut at Madison Square Garden last month, Duke’s defense was dominant enough to allow the Blue Devils to win a game when shooting under 30 percent for the first time since 1950. In the UConn game, Duke didn’t allow a single 3pointer for the first time since 2005. Saturday, Gonzaga extended its streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 537 only because of a 3 in the final 11 sec-

I went online and ordered a No. 7 Danica Patrick T-shirt. Let’s just make one thing perfectly clear from the outset — I am not a person who is inclined to wear hot girls on my T-shirts. I have a shelf full of Tony Stewart and Brian Vickers T-shirts, and if they make one with Gerard Butler on it, count me in, but that’s it. In a perfect world, I’d be wearing a hot girl IN my T-shirts, but that’s another dream for another day. Because today we’re talking about someone else’s dream, an early Christmas wish come true for NASCAR. On December 8, all the speculation that’s been going on for months, even years, finally reached its conclusion when Danica Patrick, the face of the IndyCar Series, formally announced a two-year NASCAR Nationwide Series deal with JR Motorsports. The team is co-owned by Kelley Earnhardt, Tony Eury, Jr., Rick Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., the face of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. When the faces of two major motorsports series come together, it makes for a pretty picture indeed, and an even better photo op. Sitting around talking with my friends lately, who are mostly guys, I am often asked my opinion of Danica’s upcoming foray into the world of stock car racing. I think they’re expecting me to say two things, the first being “Meow,” and the second the prediction of a miserable failure.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Before the season began, all the hype surrounding North Carolina revolved around its talented and deep frontcourt. Even though the defending national champions lost four starters, the Tar Heels returned three
experienced forwards and added a trio of highly touted freshmen to be dubbed the best frontline in the nation by SI.com. But Saturday against No. 2 Texas, 10th-ranked UNC hardly looked like it had the top frontcourt in the country. The Longhorns outrebounded the Tar Heels 60-41 and outscored UNC
by 10 in the paint for a 103-90 victory in the first basketball game played in the new billion-dollar Dallas Cowboys Stadium. “Most of my teams have always been really good rebounding teams, but Texas just killed us on the backboards,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “That so-called best frontline in America — Dexter
Pittman kicked our tails by himself.” Pittman, Texas’ senior center, used his 6-10, 290 pound frame to own the inside as he grabbed 15 rebounds and added 23 points. Teammate Damion James, a 6-7, 225 pound senior forward, finished with a game-high 25 points and also added 15 rebounds.
Pittman and James are Texas’ two biggest players that play the most and they dominated a much taller Tar Heel squad, which has six players that stand at 6-9 or taller. “Maybe we’re just not as good as everyone thought we were,” said UNC’s Deon Thompson, who fin-

the only thing David Letterman hasn’t felt the need to apologize for in recent memory. She is a former Rookie of the Year winner. She moved to a new team, Andretti Autosport, in 2007, earned her first victory in 2008 and finished third in the 2009 Indianapolis 500. She plans to ease her way into NASCAR, competing in the ARCA Series race at Daytona and the NASCAR Nationwide Series races in Fontana and Las Vegas to open the season. “I think my determination and commitment are really going to be what makes this thing go well,” she said in a recent press conference. “I’m a competitive driver, and I always want to do well, and this will be absolutely no different.” She hates to lose and sometimes behaves badly when that happens. She also likes stiletto heels. As I write this, it occurs to me that Patrick is starting to sound a little bit like Kyle Busch. Without
the stilettos, of course, as far as we know. When a big name such as Patrick’s is on the entry list of a support race, it brings a smile to a track promoter’s face. I daresay the ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway in February 2010 may post the largest attendance, and the widest grins, in that series’ history. She is a role model for aspiring young racers. And despite her immense popularity over in the IndyCar Series, the magazine covers, music videos, TV commercials and the rest, she has proven to have some humility. To begin at the bottom when you’ve gotten so comfortable at the top surely must be a bitter pill to swallow, but she’s taking her medicine like a big girl, and smiling as she does it. So yes, I do like Danica Patrick, very much. She is a successful athlete and will be good for the sport of NASCAR. I am looking forward to wearing my new T-shirt while watching what

She opened the commercial with the line, “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” In my experience, men seem to think women are always critical of other women who are younger, prettier or more successful than they are. Sometimes that’s true, but not always. There seems to be no logical rule on this. We’re not crazy about Demi Moore, for example, but we love Sandra Bullock. Jennifer Aniston is a favorite; Angelina Jolie, not so much. Sharon Stone sets us to grinding our teeth, but Drew Barrymore makes us smile. Here’s what we know about Danica Patrick.

The Golden Eagles move to 8-1 on the year, as both teams are off until after the Christmas break.

SPORTS AREA SPORTS BRIEFS GENERAL Game to be aired by Pro Teem Sports Tommy Bryant and his crew at Pro Teem Sports
DUKE From page 7 onds. “This is the first team that I’ve had in about seven or eight years that really understands our defense so well together — not individually, but together,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We’re a very intelligent defensive team.” With a very smart scouting system in place. Krzyzewski said that assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski’s first points of emphasis on his scouting report were to take away Gonzaga’s transition game and its 3-point shooting. In addition to just one 3, the Bulldogs scored just one bucket in transition. The Blue Devils put targets on guards Matt Bouldin and Steven Gray, who were averaging 30 points a game between them. Bouldin and Gray combined for just 10 points Saturday on 4-of15 shooting. “Attacking them and not letting them get into a great rhythm was key to the game,” Smith said. “Defensively, the mindset of this team is definitely a lot tougher than my first two years here.” While Gonzaga’s
HANDLES From page 7 ished with a season-low eight points on 3-for-12 shooting and added seven rebounds. “Sometimes the ball doesn’t bounce your way certain nights and things like that. We just got to continue to work and continue to move forward.” At the start of the game it looked like things were going the Tar Heels’ way as they took a 34-31 lead and had held James, who entered the game averaging a double-double, to just two points. But over the final six minutes of the first half UNC (8-3) turned the ball over five times as Texas (10-0) went on a 23-7 run to take a 5441 lead into halftime. “That run that they went on at the end of the first half just kind of put us in a hole,” Thompson said. It was just the second time this season UNC has trailed at halftime, but much like it did when it was down against Kentucky at the break, the Tar Heels made a run in the second half. After being down by as many as 17, UNC kept chipping away and Marcus Ginyard — who returned to the starting lineup after missing last week’s win over Presbyterian with a bruise on the bottom of his left foot — kickstarted a 10-4 UNC run. Ginyard scored eight during the stretch and his jumper cut the deficit to 82-78 with 6:59 to go. But it would be as close as the Tar Heels would get the rest of the way. After Larry Drew II air balled a 3-pointer that could’ve made it a onepoint game, UNC turned the ball over on three

guards struggled, Duke’s guards soared. No one could score early — nine minutes in, both teams were shooting 20 percent in a 6-6 game — but Smith and Scheyer soon got it going. After Gonzaga took its lone lead of the game, 10-8 on a hook shot from Robert Sacre (who led the Bulldogs with a modest nine points), Duke re-
‘We’re a very intelligent defensive team.’ — Mike Krzyzewski Duke basketball coach sponded with an 18-2 run for a 26-12 lead. Scheyer accounted for 11 of the points and Smith for five, with veteran Kyle Singler (nine points, 11 rebounds) picking up the other two. In the second half, Scheyer — coming off a 36-point game — repeatedly found Smith to help him match his career high. Krzyzewski called it Smith’s best game at Duke; Smith agreed. “This was a CBS game against a great team. My teammates really helped me expose myself, to show that I’m ready to make that jump to an elite guard in the country,” Smith said. “I just
straight possessions as Texas used an 11-4 run to push their lead back up to 93-82 with 4:01 to play. The Tar Heels never threatened again. “We told them the game was going to be decided right around the basket,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said. “We actually told our guys that blocked out’s not enough, you’ve got to go get it.” The Longhorns had 29 offensive rebounds — 12 of which belonged to Pittman — and scored 27 points off second chance baskets. The Tar Heels, on the other hand, had just 12 offensive rebounds and recorded 11 points off those buckets. Ed Davis led UNC with 21 points and nine rebounds. “Pittman you can’t really move him,” said UNC’s Tyler Zeller, who stands at 7-0 and had three rebounds. “If he’s sitting down low you’re not moving him. It’s just one of those things where you just got to have a lot of help.” Ginyard said once again said UNC didn’t have any energy and Texas played with more intensity, but also acknowledged that the Longhorns are ranked for a reason. Texas was the third top-10 opponent UNC has faced in the past four games, and the senior said there was no doubt in his mind the Longhorns were the best team the Tar Heels have faced so far. “They did a fantastic job of attacking us on the perimeter and obviously inside,” said Ginyard, who finished with 13 points. “They kept us down all game.” NOTES — It was the most points UNC has given up in the Williams era since Wake Forest scored 119 in a triple-overtime

need to continue to work hard with my teammates and get better.” After neither team hit a 3-pointer in the first half, Smith and Scheyer combined to hit three in the first three minutes of the second half to build the Blue Devils’ 31-17 halftime lead to 40-18. Scheyer assisted on Smith’s two 3s to start the half — a common occurrence. Six of Scheyer’s eight assists went to Smith; two of Smith’s three assists went to Scheyer. “Jon and I have a great chemistry, on the court and off the court,” Smith said. “The whole week in practice we’ve been working on playing together even better. The first couple of weeks of the season, there were times when we could have made the extra pass to get somebody a better shot. Today we did that.” After the game, the Blue Devils went their separate ways for the holiday break. They won’t play again until Dec. 29, when Long Beach State pays a visit. It’s safe to say they headed home happy. “We’re obviously very, very pleased with our performance,” Krzyzewski said. “They’re an outstanding team, but our defense was just better than their offense today.”

Florist entertains Arts Department TIMES STAFF REPORT
On Nov. 17, John Herron of Herron House Flowers brought his skills and talents to the Thomasville Woman’s Club Arts Department. His program also included a challenge. The club was given the task to recreate a wreath like the one he created for them. He is not only an artist, but also an entertainer. As he worked, he recalled unique stories of the town, some of his personal adventures, and informational tidbits about some of the club’s members and guests. He worked with ease and grace, giving the materials a twist here and a twist there. His assistant, Dell Nichols, was there to cut ribbon and hand materials to Jon. The club members were there to help him fill in a missed spot and to “ooh” and “aah” over his finished project. Taking two huge old wreaths from the club’s attic, he transformed one into an updated, bright and eye-catching decoration. He left one
as he found it in the attic and removed the old ornaments and plastic mistletoe from the other. The original wreaths had two tones of greenery in them. This was not changed, because the different tones helped give depth to the wreath. This also went along with his motive to reuse or recycle as much of the old wreath as possible. White lights then were woven into the greenery. Using the green wreath as a base, he began to put in ribbon bow flips. He had a glue pan already heated with melted glue sticks ready for use. If a glue pan is not available, a regular old black frying pan can be used to melt glue. Starting with lime green polka-dotted ribbon, he used florist wrapped wire and twisted it in the middle of the ribbon sections, dipped it into the glue, and began placing the ribbon flips here and there over the wreath. Next, he switched to a red ribbon with gold on the other side and placed flips of this ribbon over the wreath as well. The last ribbon he used was the “magic” ribbon, which
had a wide stripe of red and a wide stripe of lime green that glittered when the lights reflected off it. This ribbon was shaped a different way. The ribbon was gathered in the middle, twisted, and then the twisted part was put into the glue. The last decorations added to the wreath were four different colors and sizes of ornamental balls. The colors he chose were solid lime green, lime glitter, shiny red and a matte or less shiny red. As the final decoration was added, the wreath was held up for the club members and guests to see. The use of lime green and red was selected because they are the hot colors for this season’s decorating. Also, with lime green being such a popular color, it can be used with other colors as well. Examples he shared were putting a touch of lime green with bronze, brown and other colors. Herron estimated the cost to update the large wreath to be about $50 in materials. After completion of the second wreath, each will be hung over the fireplac-
es in the club. Members of the club met there on Dec. 1 to make the second wreath and decorate the club for Christmas. Work began at 9 a.m. and continued through the day. Snacks and lunch were provided. John Herron of Herron House has been involved in the floral industry for 30 years. This includes both wholesale and retail floristry. His clients include Architectural Digest, Better Homes and Gardens, Elegant Bride, Replacements Ltd., Mottahedeh and Company and Thomasville Furniture Industries. He was awarded “Retailer of the Year” in 1997 by the Thomasville Chamber of Commerce. John has appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, the CBS Morning Show, Fox National News and locally on Fox 8 News. His floral styles are very Southern, backyard garden using the highest quality of fresh flowers and interesting foliage. John loves texture and color, which was very evident in his work during the program.

in relation to the storm. Capt. James Mills with Thomasville Police Department said most of the accidents were “fender benders� and didn’t result in any major injuries. On Saturday, an ambulance hit a patch of ice and tore the rear bumper off a police car at 722 Trotter St. Mills said the fact that a lot of people stayed off the roads during the storm helped keep the number of accidents relatively low under the circumstances. A majority of accidents occurred at intersections and stop lights, Mills said. “I think our numbers could’ve been higher,� Mills said. “People simply stayed at home. A lot of people didn’t want to drive with it sleeting. I was out this weekend and I didn’t see a lot of traffic, particularly in the early morning hours. That seems to be the time when most accidents occur. We didn’t have anything significant. People used a little extra common sense and stayed off the roads.� Mills said that during the last major snowstorm in 2008 there was more than 60 calls involving traffic accidents related to bad road conditions. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said that despite the conditions his office didn’t respond to anything out of the ordinary.

Way campaign, said that this has been the most difficult time for raising funds in the 15 years he has been a volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of what the Davidson County people have done, I truly am,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just hoping that people can dig a little bit deeper to help us out this Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Walker said that any amount of money, no matter how small, would help the United Way do a bit more to give assistance to
its partner agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to help 31 agencies in the county that already reach out to people,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them get the majority of their funding from us. There are going to be people who absolutely do without this year if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise it.â&#x20AC;? To donate, send checks to P.O. Box 492, Lexington, NC 27293.
