Any more bad weather may be tough to accommodate BY SARAH CAMPBELL

After checking out roads, parents back school closings

School officials say icy roadways that forced the cancellation of classes this week have limited the choices for makeup days later this school year. “There is a good possibility that students will be going to school on Saturdays and/or spring break if we have more inclement weather in the future,” Dr. Judy Grissom, superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System, said in an e-mail to the Post on Friday. “We have run out of other options.” GRISSOM Students already will be attending class next Saturday, the first Saturday makeup day since Grissom became superintendent in 2006. School will also be in session for Kannapolis City Schools next Saturday. Unlike Rowan-Salisbury schools, where release times are three hours earli-

DOCTOR’S LAST CALL

When the Rowan-Salisbury School System called off classes for the fifth straight day Friday, officials cited icy patches on secondary roads as the primary reason, noting roads in eastern and northern areas of Rowan were particularly bad. Gene Miller, the district’s assistant superintendent for operations, told the Post the patches weren’t small either, but “15, 20 and 30 yards.”

Fisher gets her wish: GOP picks new leader Staff and wire reports

Dr. David Smith, who retired this week, reﬂects on his years working in the medical profession.

Faith resident Renne Perla said she agrees with the decision. “I don’t have any kids, but I agree that it’s not safe to be out on these roads,” she said. “My Camry has been sliding on some of these back roads.” Perla said Deal Street and Rainey Roads in Faith are especially bad. Daniel Jerrads said during his trek from Granite Quarry to Faith on Friday he experienced some icy

OXON HILL, Md. — For nearly two years, Dr. Ada Fisher has been calling for Michael Steele to step down as chairman of the national Republican Party, and the chorus of GOP voices calling for the same has grown. On Friday, Fisher, a retired Salisbury physician and member of the National Republican Committee, got her wish. Steele stepped down after voting had begun for chairmanship of the party, which is coming off huge election victories but facing a $22 million debt and an internal FISHER war over identity. The delegates chose Wisconsin party chief Reince Priebus to lead in the run-up to the 2012 presidential race. The candidate who Fisher backed, Maria Cino, a former executive director of the National Republican Congressional

More voice displeasure with schools making up snow day on MLK holiday COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Civil rights leaders said Friday that school districts around the Southeast should scrap plans to use the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to make up for snow days, calling the decision an insult to the civil rights icon’s legacy. The Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton, among others, said schools in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina should find other ways to make up days lost after a winter storm coated the region in snow and ice, making roads treacherous. But educators, some facing mandatory furloughs, said they had scant options to make sure students were in classrooms for the number of days required by law. In Rock Hill, S.C., for instance, three school days were

GOP FROM 1a members — didn’t support Steele when he won the post and has criticized his leadership since he began the term. In 2009, just after Steele assumed the job, Fisher called for him to step down after a couple of gaffes: First, he caught heat for calling the federal stimulus package “bling bling.” Then he apologized to Rush Limbaugh after offending the conservative radio personality when he denied Democrats’ assertion that Limbaugh was the “de facto leader” of the GOP. In the e-mail to fellow Republican National Committee members, Fisher accused Steele of “eroding confidence” in the GOP. “I don’t want to hear any more language trying to be cool about the bling in the stimulus package or appealing to D.L. Hughley and blacks in a way that isn’t going to win us any votes and makes us frankly appear to many blacks as quite foolish,” Fisher’s e-mail said. In December, Fisher told The Hill newspaper she hoped the next chairman would bring “competence, transparency and accountability” to the party. On Friday, Fisher told Politico she supported Cino because she was the only candidate with experience in the committee’s trouble spots. “We’ve had some internal problems with financial management, and that’s really her strength,” Fisher said. Fisher and Steele did agree on one thing: After he dropped out, Steele endorsed Cino as his successor. Fisher, who is in Maryland for the party convention, couldn’t be reached by telephone and had not replied to an e-mail from the Post late Friday. ••• The embattled Steele dropped his re-election bid

MLK FROM 1a said budget cuts meant many of those work days were already set aside for unpaid furlough days. “There was no intent on anyone’s part to devalue this day in recognition of this American leader,” said Rock Hill schools spokeswoman Elaine Baker, who said her district lost $10 million in funding last year. “We’re just moving ahead and doing the business that we always do, which is educating children.” However, some civil rights leaders said it’s the educators who may need a lesson. The issue was especially sensitive

halfway through afternoon balloting when it became clear he could not win another two-year term after a first marked by verbal missteps and financial woes. “We have to get on track. And together we can defeat Barack Obama in 2012,” Priebus, the chairman of the Wisconsin GOP, said in a brief victory speech, pleading for unity within the fractured 168-member Republican National Committee. The new chairman’s name is pronounced Ryns Pree’-bus. “We all recognize that there’s a steep hill here ahead of us, and the only way that we’ll be able to move forward is if we’re all together,” he said. A former top lieutenant to Steele, Priebus promised to hire top-notch staff, restructure the organization and put it on solid financial footing so the next GOP presidential nominee will be prepared to take on Obama. Later, he rejected suggestions the national party organization’s power might have waned, given the proliferation of outside groups that have assumed campaign functions the party historically has performed. “It’s very relevant,” he said. For the next two years, Priebus will try to prove that. Most urgently, the new chairman must retire an RNC debt of about $22 million owed to vendors and banks, as well as lure back demoralized donors who have been so frustrated with Steele’s management that they sent their dollars elsewhere or didn’t open their wallets at all last year. The party had only about $1 million cash at year’s end. He’ll also serve as the party top spokesman promoting its agenda, countering Democrats, raising money to help Republicans and improving a get-out-the-vote effort that critics say languished under Steele.

in Georgia — King’s home state and a launching pad for the civil rights movement. On Thursday, NAACP leaders there called on two rural counties to cancel classes planned on the federal holiday. District superintendents said they had to make up for nine school days missed this year because of winter weather, but some called the decision an insult to King’s legacy. King was assassinated in 1968. The holiday was established in 1986. “For that day, so many have died. For that day, so many have marched. So many have been martyred,” Jackson told the Associated Press.

DOCTOR

Dr. David N. Smith

FROM 1a anyone say one negative about Dr. Smith,” either as chief medical officer or as an internist in private practice, Dr. Steve Proctor said. “I just think it’s amazing.” ••• David Smith lived the kind of boyhood you might expect in a railroad town such as Spencer. He always seemed within sight of tracks and Southern Railway’s Spencer Shops repair facility, whether it was from his home on Rowan Avenue or his father’s family practice on Fourth Street. “I thought sheets were supposed to be gray,” Smith said of the dirt that would collect on laundry hanging out to dry. Smith always walked to school, as did most kids in Spencer. His first job was at Bailey’s Rexall Drugstore, where he mopped floors and performed other tasks until becoming a delivery boy at 16. One summer, he served as a swimming pool lifeguard. In a summer home from college, he worked the third shift at N.C. Finishing Co. for $1.25 an hour. Other summer jobs while in college included work at Yellowstone National Park and a stint as a garbage collector in Spencer. Smith spent as much time outside his father’s office as inside. He mowed the grass and painted the fence every year. Spencer was a busy place with the Shops in full operation. “Everybody knew everybody,” Smith said, and how could they not know his father, who was basically on call all the time? Dr. Jay Smith Jr. delivered some 2,600 babies before he retired. “He never complained about the work,” David Smith says. And that’s the way the son recalls his own days in private practice. “We didn’t know we didn’t have a life,” he says. “We thought we had a life.” ••• For a brief time, Smith actually considered geology, not medicine. But it took only one geology course at Wake Forest University (then Wake Forest College) to redirect his interest to biology and a pre-med discipline. Smith would finish at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in 1966. During his first summer in medical school, he worked on a research grant in microbiology. His second summer, a Duke University “externship” sent him to work at Rowan Memorial Hospital for two months. After serving an internship at Baylor University

with Novant made it more of a corporate responsibility. Freeman said he wanted Smith for the job as chief medical officer because he was a highly respected member of the medical community. Someone else would have taken a long time to make the transition from private physician to administrator, Freeman said, but Smith seemed to grasp the job within a month. He probably knew he had “gone to the dark side,” Freeman said, when physicians shut him out of some of their meetings. Current Rowan Regional President Dari Caldwell said testimony to Smith’s evenhanded approach was that she often heard doctors complain that he favored an opposing group. She would then go to that department and hear it make the same complaint — that Smith was too cozy with the others. Smith told Caldwell that as long as he could keep everyone guessing, he figured he was doing a good job.

Smith assisted his father in Spencer for three months (July-September 1967) before reporting to the Army. In 1972, Smith became board certified in internal medicine and returned to Rowan County, entering private practice in Salisbury with Drs. Roy Agner, Paul McCubbins and Larry Gish. He could have practiced, of course, anywhere in the country. “I didn’t see a good reason to move away from something I knew,” he says.

Dr. Tom Trahey has taken Smith’s place as chief medical officer. In retirement, the 70year-old Smith hopes to travel with his wife, Wanda, and golf occasionally. In his younger days, Smith was an avid ocean sailor, but he hasn’t owned a sailboat since 1997. Smith already has arranged to continue his long volunteer relationship with the Community Care Clinic by working there 21⁄2 days a week over 40 weeks of the year. At his recent retirement reception, the mayors of Salisbury and Spencer read proclamations in his honor, and Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz announced that Jan. 6 was David Smith Day in the city. U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, DN.C., sent best wishes through his chief of staff. Caldwell also presented Smith with a framed picture of the hospital. In the margins were signatures and notes from all his co-workers. “It’s been a terrific ride,” Smith said. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@ salisburypost.com.

Smith witnessed a lot of changes at Rowan Regional over almost four decades and even his 13 years as chief medical officer. “I got here before CT scans did,” he said, “and everyone thinks that is basic now.” He said the hospital’s merger with Novant “helped us immensely.” And though designated hospital beds are probably down from a decade ago, because of the changes in medicine, Rowan Regional’s medical staff has doubled to more than 300, in••• cluding 225 who are “very active,” Smith says.

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

The sun sets over High Rock Lake off Bringle Ferry Road. Lake levels have dropped recently, leaving many floating docks on dry land.

Alcoa:Water lowered to allow landowners to complete projects Alcoa Power Generating Inc. will lower High Rock Lake to 10 feet below full by Feb. 1, allowing lakefront property owners to perform pier maintenance and excavate reservoir sediments to maintain or create recreational boat access. Water levels will remain 10 feet below full for three weeks before APGI begins refilling the reservoir to normal levels. “We have many property owners around the lake who have obtained excavation permits and are

Flags lowered to honor Campbell Gov. Bev Perdue has ordered that all North Carolina flags at state facilities be flown at half-staff in tribute to former State Auditor Ralph Campbell Jr. This will extend the current order to lower North Carolina flags for the Tucson tragedy through the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and raise them at sunrise Tuesday. Campbell, who was the first black person elected to statewide executive office in 1992 and previously served multiple terms on the Raleigh City Council, passed away on Tuesday. His funeral is scheduled for today. All employees of the Department of Administration join Governor Perdue in honoring Campbell, whose family has contributed significantly to the advancement of civil rights in North Carolina. His brother Bill Campbell became the first black student to integrate Raleigh city schools in 1960. He also is survived by siblings Mildred Christmas and Eddie Campbell, both longtime employees of the Department of Administration, in the divisions of Purchase and Contract and Facility Management, respectively.

eager to improve access to their piers,” said Marshall Olson, Environment and Natural Resources Manager for APGI’s Yadkin Project. “Water levels at High Rock have not dropped low enough to excavate in more than three years, so we are trying to accommodate those property owners who have requested a drawdown. “This should also provide a boost in business during a relatively slow time of year for area contractors who provide excavation and pier maintenance services.”

High Rock Lake is a shallow reservoir that accumulates sediment that flows downstream from upper portions of the Yadkin River. Because piers require a minimum water depth of 8 feet, the Yadkin Shoreline Management Plan allows for excavation of sediments at High Rock Lake. Homeowners who wish to excavate around their piers must receive prior written approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, and the North Caroli-

na Department of Cultural Resources (as necessary) and submit an application to APGI. For more information about excavation regulations, refer to the Shoreline Stewardship Policy of the Shoreline Management Plan at www.alcoa.com/yadkin/en/info_ page/stewardship_alteration.asp. The drawdown schedule may be affected by heavy precipitation or other unforeseen weather events. For updates about the drawdown, visit the APGI website at www.alcoa.com/yadkin.

Police take on dirty job to recover evidence A man’s attempt to flush the evidence didn’t work out as planned, authorities say. Investigators dug up the man’s septic tank. Rowan County Sheriff’s Office detectives served a search warrant Thursday at 140 Scarlet Road, the home of Edward Alan Rodgers. As detectives approached the door, a press release said, they saw Rodgers run toward a bathroom. Detectives forced their way RODGERS into the house and found Rodgers in the bathroom, where they handcuffed him. “It was readily apparent that the toilet had just been flushed,” the press release said. Searching the house, detectives found drug paraphernalia in Rodgers’ bedroom used to inject heroin. Detectives then removed the toilet from the bathroom floor and dismantled it in an attempt to locate any drugs that were flushed, They didn’t find anything, but that didn’t stop them. Detectives had the septic tank in the yard beside the residence dug up. Once they opened the septic tank, detectives found a plastic bag containing 25 small balloons of heroin. The detectives then charged Edwards, 32, with possession with intent to sell heroin, maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He remained jailed Friday under a $15,000 bond.

Officers arrest wanted man Livingstone College plans MLK celebrations while he’s with City parks gets newborn child BY LAURIE D. WILLIS

Livingstone College News Service

Across the country, people celebrate the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday in different ways. But at Livingstone College, administrators, faculty, staff and students are strongly encouraged to do something positive on that day. “Dr. King was one of the greatest leaders in American history and the world,” said Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins. “He fought against racial injustice and oppression in a non-violent way to ensure that African-Americans and all people are treated equally and fairly. His efforts paved the way for generations of people to achieve greatness, myself included.” Because King paid the ultimate sacrifice for his efforts, Jenkins said it behooves all people — particularly people of color — to do something constructive on Monday while enjoying a day off from work or school. “I have encouraged Livingstone College faculty, students and staff to do something worthwhile on Mon-

day,” Jenkins said. “That could be attending a breakfast honoring Dr. King, feeding people at a homeless shelter or visiting with some neighborhood children to stress the importance of education and staying out of trouble. I’m sure some people will take advantage of a day off by getting some rest, which is understandable, but I’m hoping our faculty, students and staff will spend at least a few hours on Monday doing something to help perpetuate Dr. King’s legacy. I feel very strongly that he would want that.” Jenkins is participating in three events to commemorate King’s life. Today at 8:30 a.m., he and members of his senior staff will attend an MLK Unity Prayer Breakfast at Bethel Baptist Church Ministries in Kannapolis. The annual event will be officiated by Pastor Bryan J. Pierce, and a prayer service will be led by Pastor Donald Anthony of Grace Lutheran Church in Concord.

grant from King commission The Salisbury Parks and Recreation department was one of 14 agencies to receive a $2,500 grant Friday from the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of the N.C. Human Relations Commission. Administration Secretary Moses Carey presented certificates to representatives of the agencies receiving the grants during a reception following the annual State Employees Martin Luther King Jr. Observance Day program Friday in Raleigh. Grant funds will be used to create or strengthen programs that support the legacy of King, especially those which benefit youth. The commission received 55 applications this year.

Concord police experiment with new way to report incidents CONCORD — The Concord Police Department is testing a new system of letting residents report some crimes and other incidents by phone instead of sending an officer to the scene to take a report. The police department began exploring different ways to respond to calls for service over a year ago, the city said in a press release. In terms of police operations, the release said, the aim is to provide nonemergency police services without dispatching a sworn officer to the scene to take reports that meet certain criteria. “After researching this method with other police agencies in the state, police management reasoned that telephone reporting is a proven and effective way to better manage police resources, particularly the use of sworn personnel,” the city said in its press release. Last year, Concord Police Department officers responded to 94,578 calls for service. “Our expectation is that the Tele-

phone Reporting Unit will decrease this number and increase the amount of time for officers working with our communities to identify the root causes of more serious problems and work toward tailored solutions,” Police Chief Merl Hamilton said in the press release. Reports taken by telephone are mostly misdemeanors that do not require an officer’s presence and nonviolent felonies such as property crimes. Additional criteria are: • Incidents must not be in progress. • There must be no physical evidence on scene to be collected. • No one suffered an injury. • There is no witness available for an officer to interview. The unit does not take reports for traffic crashes that require an N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles accident form. Reports taken by telephone are processed through the Records Division, then forwarded to designated officers for distribution to the appropriate district where the incident oc-

curred or to the Criminal Investigations Division to be assigned to an investigator for any necessary followup. The Telephone Reporting Unit consists of two civilian specialists. Training for the unit began last fall and includes a course on writing reports and training in use of a mobile field reporting system, the press release said. Concord residents can use the service from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. The department will periodically evaluate the service to determine its efficiency and effectiveness, and to make any necessary adjustments. The use of telephone reporting is already proven to be an effective response, the press release said.

A Salisbury man sleeping in a hospital room after the birth of his son Thursday morning got a rude awakening from a police officer. Spencer police had been seeking Bobby Edward Wesley Jr., 17, of 1016 W. Fisher St., in connection with a break-in at Lancaster’s Car Wash on Jan. 7. Wesley was charged with felony breaking and entering and two counts of misdemeanor breakWESLEY ing or forcing open a coin-operated machine and jailed under a $1,500 bond. Police say Wesley and two others ran from officers as they responded to the break-in. Officers arrested Jacob Andrew Kaiser and charged him in the break-in. Police are still looking for a third suspect. Wesley was previously arrested for felony common law robbery after police say he beat and robbed a classmate at Henderson Independent High School. Investigators ask anyone with information about the Lancaster’s break-in to call the Spencer Police Department at 704-633-3574 or Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 866-925-5245.

Salvatore Cerbone Jr., 41, of 3070 Airport Road, faces a f e l o n y charge of taking indecent liberties with a child. He is also CERBONE charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The child’s mother contacted authorities Jan. 2. Cerbone was arrested Thursday. A Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report indicated the incident happened at Cerbone’s home. The mother of the girl was in a relationship with Cerbone when the incident was said to have occurred, authorities say. During a search of the home, authorities found the marijuana and drug paraphernalia, the report said. Cerbone was held at the Rowan County Detention Center under an $8,000 bond.

Jack Douglas Walters

Audrey Jean Hooks

ROCKWELL — Jack Douglas Walters, 83, of Rockwell passed away on Thursday Jan. 13, 2011 at the Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks. Born Sept. 21, 1927 in Salisbury, he was the son of the late S. Johnson and Sally Roof Walters. Mr. Walters was a widely respected teacher and administrator in the Rowan County School System where he served 36 years. After retirement from the school system, he went on to serve 15 years as Director of Development at Nazareth Children's Home. His entire career of 51 years was dedicated to mentoring the youth of Rowan County. He was a former Civitan member and was presented the Citizen of the Year award by the Salisbury Civitan Club in 1993. He also held memberships in the NC Division of Principals, the Royal Order of Moose, the National Association of Elementary Principals, the Miller-Russell American Legion Post and the Hornets Post 845. In 1974, Mr. Walters was presented The Order of the Long Leaf Pine which is the highest civilian award given by the Governor of North Carolina. He was an active member of St. James Lutheran Church where he served as a former Sunday School teacher, Church Councilman and member of the Lutheran Men in Mission. Mr. Walters was also the youngest man to serve as Master of Keller Memorial Lodge #657 in 1955. He is a graduate of Catawba College and earned postgraduate degrees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mr. Walters proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Pacific theatre. Mr. Walters was a man of tolerance, and he quite simplistically put daily life into perspective and looked for possibilities on the brighter side of life. In his own quiet way, he encouraged others to meet life in the same quiet and positive manner. He valued the vitality of life and embraced it with warm hugs and a smile that twinkled contagiously. He possessed a unique talent for listening to friends, family and co-workers. Each person he touched experienced his warmth and goodwill. Jack's guidance and enduring love and devotion for his family will always be remembered. Survivors include his beloved wife of 60 years, Juanita H. Walters; three children, Dr. John D. Walters (Ann) of Columbus, Ohio, Joel V. Walters (Priscilla) of Charlotte, and Jane W. Ogburn (Sam, Jr.) of Winston-Salem; one brother Charles R.

WEATHER FROM 1a

sarah campbell/SaLISBURY POST

Four-year-old Zaniyah Wagoner takes on a hill head ﬁrst Friday during her ﬁfth straight day off from school.

PARENTS FROM 1a patches. “When you drive a pickup truck like I do, it doesn’t really matter,” he said. “But I imagine some of these small cars really have to take it easy and really watch what’s ahead.” Beverly Alexander lives on Montgomery Street, which is perpendicular to Suggs Avenue — a street cited by the school system as a danger. She said the roads are still pretty slick. “The last time it snowed they came down through here and scraped,” she said. Alexander, who has three grandchildren who attend school in the district, said she’s glad school officials made the decision to cancel class. “I want to keep them safe,” she said. “But a whole week off is kind of ridiculous.” Several other Montgomery Street residents felt differently about the drivability of the streets. “The roads are safe enough to go to school,” Martha Ramirez said. Ramirez, a stay-at-home mother, said although she feels the roads were no longer hazardous, she didn’t mind having her daughter, 8-yearold Amy Ramirez, home another day. “But, I don’t like the fact that they have to go to school on the weekends,” she said. Ramirez said having to send Amy to Granite Quarry Elementary next Saturday is going to cut in on her family’s time together.

amy Ramirez, 8, a Granite Quarry Elementary student, takes a spin around her living room Friday. Her mother, Martha Ramirez, said she was happy spending time with her this week. Daniel Russell said he def“He won’t like it,” he said. initely thought children could “But it doesn’t bother me.” go back to school Friday. “I was out yesterday and the roads looked clear enough,” he said. Russell said his stepson, 9year-old Kevin Joplin, has been enjoying the days off, but that won’t be the case when he has to go to school on Saturday.

While children have relished the cancellation of schools, Russell said, “I don’t know about the parents.” Alexander agrees. “I’m ready for them (students) to go back,” she said. Miller told the Post on Thursday, “I know everybody’s disappointed and no one more than I am.” Vicky Slusser, executive director of Communities in Schools of Rowan County, said Friday when class is canceled it can be tough on families. “I have always had a concern for students on the days there is no school, some are not fortunate enough to have family members who can take over on the day care front if parents have to work,” she said. Slusser said that means some parents might have to choose between staying home from work, which could endanger job stability, or going to work and leaving children home unsupervised. Parents who choose to place their children in day care facilties during the snow days are also facing an unexpected financial burden. And, Slusser said, that might not even be an option as day cares where students would normally go for after school care could have shut down as well. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

er than normal, Kannapolis students will attend the entire day. Although Grissom admits some parents aren’t thrilled with the concept of Saturday school, she said many would rather use a Saturday than cut into spring break. “Most of the ones who have called understand the restrictions that we have within the state calendar laws,” she said. State law mandates students attend school a minimum of either 180 days or have 1,000 hours of instruction. Grissom told the Post “attendance is not at the highest level on any makeup days — whether it is a spring break day, Saturday or originally a work day.” “No matter how many times you remind and request that parents not make plans for possible makeup dates in the calendar, it still happens,” she said. The remaining makeup days for Rowan-Salisbury include Friday, Jan. 21; Saturday, Jan. 22; Monday, Jan. 24; Monday, Feb. 21; and Friday, April 22 (Good Friday). Jan. 24 was to be a protected teacher workday, but that has now been rescheduled for the following Saturday, Jan. 29.

“Most of the ones who have called understand the restrictions that we have within the state calendar laws.” DR. JUDY GRISSOM Rowan-Salisbury School System superintendent

Kannapolis City Schools will make up the other missed days Tuesday, Jan. 18; Friday, Feb. 18; Monday, Feb. 21; and Monday, March 28. Although the CharlotteMecklenburg, Avery and Cherokee school districts will use the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to make up missed classes, that won’t be happening here. “The calendar that goes home with every student lists all possibilities for makeup days,” Grissom said. “The Martin Luther King Day was not listed in the original calendar as a possibility so it as not considered as an option for a makeup day.” Grissom said the school system is continuing to look at various possibilities for makeup days in the future. “We are still working on issues surrounding this storm so it is too soon to make decisions for later in the winter,” she said.

DARTS AND LAURELS

Take a look at e-reading Laurels to Rowan Public Library for giving patrons the chance to check out an Amazon Kindle, one of the electronic reading devices rapidly gaining a foothold among book lovers. Actually, that sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it? Will book lovers who relish holding bound copies in their hands find the e-reading experience equally beguiling? By making a dozen Kindles available for checkout (preloaded with more than 80 books), the library is providing patrons with a great opportunity to find out for themselves. Meanwhile, for an interesting perspective on the differences between virtual volumes and the printed page, surf on over to the Salisbury Post website and read blogger Forrest Anderson’s entry on “eReaders vs. books” (www.salisburypost.com/blogs/ readsalisbury/). • • • Dart to the continuing financial pinch many families face as they prepare for another increase in college tuition. More than a dozen schools in the University of North Carolina system are seeking increases of up to 6.5 percent — the maximum allowed — for the 2011-12 year. The colleges themselves are in a bind because of state funding cuts, and they face further cuts this year of 5-10 percent. Still, North Carolina’s promise of providing an affordable college education to all qualified students is starting to seem as outdated as a $10 textbook. • • • Laurels to the push to make cycling and walking safer and more convenient. You can be a part of the effort by taking an online survey sponsored by the state Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Institute for Transportation Research and Education’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Program at North Carolina State University. In addition to cyclists who ride competitively and for exercise or recreation, more people are considering cycling as a healthy, low-cost way to run errands or commute to work. That’s likely to increase as gasoline prices spike upwards again. With that in mind, cyclists, pedestrians and motorists all need to think about ways to share the road — or path — more safely. Last June, we saw the consequences of a motorist failing to do that when six cyclists were injured while riding in Gold Hill. You can find the survey at www.ncdot.gov/bikeped; once on the website, look for the “BikePed Survey” button. Deadline for responses is Feb. 8.

Common sense

A change in perspective New view can help open our eyes to life erspective, they say, makes all the difference. I don’t know who “they” are, or what possessed them to say it, but I think they may be right. Take the perspective, or point of view, that I see from my desk. When it changes, I change, too. Years ago, when I worked as a reporter in a newsroom, I wrote in a cubicle that was, I swear, smaller than the crate that holds my son’s two yellow Labs. Unlike Chloe and Abbe, who have ample room to romp and do so with abandon, I had to roll my chair straight into my desk and back out without turning. Not that I minded. I’ve never needed much room to write. Mostly, I just need a deadline. But a view makes a difference. After my column became syndicated, I was free to work at home in my pajaSHARON mas, at a desk in a bay winRANDALL dow overlooking the backyard. Instead of staring at the wall of a cubicle, I looked out on a postage-stamp view of Monterey Bay, glittering silver and blue in the distance; and down below, I kept watch on the basketball court where my three children shot hoops, terrorized the dog and tried to maim themselves and their friends. There was never any shortage of topics to write about. I wrote happily for years from that vantage point, until the dog grew old and the kids grew up and their dad died of cancer. Then I learned how to be alone in a fourbedroom house with five sets of dishes, shelves filled with Little League trophies and faded photo albums and a cat that didn’t like me. Honestly? I wrote pretty happily from that view, too. Well, except whenever the cat bit me. Happiness is not so much about surroundings. It’s more about what’s within. When I remarried and moved with my

new husband to the last place on Earth I ever expected to live — Las Vegas — he insisted that the view from my desk needed to be one that made me feel at home. So he spent hours (and nearly lost his religion) filling a wall in my office with family photos — shots of my kids and their dad, my parents and grandparents, different places, different times in my life. I wish you could see it. It reminds me of where I’ve been and all the people I’ve come from. It tells me who I am. I love that wall. But I am not looking at it today. Today I have a whole new perspective. Lately, we’ve enjoyed a wave of visitors. My three children, their others and my 4month-old grandson were here for four days at Christmas. And my husband’s two boys and their girlfriends arrived today. Our house is fine for two. For six, it’s like a refugee camp. To make room, we moved my desk temporarily from my office to the bay window in our bedroom. So instead of seeing my usual wall of familiar faces, I’m looking out across the desert to mountains covered in snow. This morning I watched hummingbirds and finches and quail make quick work of the feeders my husband had filled. At evening, a neon-pink sunset spilled over Sin City and turned the desert into a sea of lights. And tonight, a grinning moon got tangled up in a palm tree, then slid across the sky and hid behind the mountains. Some people live and die and never see such wonders. It’s easy to stick with what’s familiar, to look at things the way we’ve always seen them. But we’ll never know what we may be missing until we open our eyes to a different view. Perspective tells us where we have been, but at best it tells us where we’re going. At worst, it’ll tell you what it told me: Your windows could use a good wash. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

USPS delivers I am proud of the United States Postal Service. It has not let me down over the last week with the inclement weather. I have received my mail every day, with a smile and wave from my mail courier. Other services have held onto my packages due to the bad weather, and I have even been without my newspaper for several days due to the roads. Not my mail, though. It has been here every day. Thank you, USPS, for living up to the motto: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. — Aaron Moore Salisbury

here is a certain grim coincidence to the Tucson shootings and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday falling a week apart. Both King and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., were fully exercising the prerogatives of our democracy, King to speak out on behalf of striking Memphis sanitation workers, Giffords to meet informally with her constituents. King was murdered in an ambush by a lone gunman of malevolent motives; Giffords was gravely wounded from behind by a gunman with deeply twisted motives. Both incidents set off a round of national soul searching, raising the possibility that our society had wandered badly off course. The Reverend King would have been 82 this weekend. His life was too short — he was 39 when he died — but he left a legacy of speeches and writings that eloquently expressed America’s idealism. The members of the U.S. House of Representatives chose to begin the year by reading the U.S. Constitution aloud. In another grim coincidence, Giffords read the First Amendment whose rights of speech and assembly guaranteed her and King’s activities on those days. The reading was done for political purposes, but it might not be a bad thing if the Congress from time to time reads aloud from our essential documents. One of them would certainly be King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, given on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. He gave perhaps the best and most succinct summations of a vital promise in the Constitution, still unfulfilled but far closer to being realized than when King spoke: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” His letter to the local clergy from the Birmingham jail, also 1963, is still one of the best, and certainly one of the most moving, descriptions of the goals and tactics of the civil rights movement and the injustices that brought it about. King showed that there is a place for eloquence in politics; it does not have to be all sound bites and invective; it can be a soaring appeal to the best in us and our form of government. When Giffords recovers — and, as one fervently hopes, returns to politics — perhaps she'll come back to a stage where, as President Obama said at a memorial service for the Tucson victims, “we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.”

esponding to the letter by Chuck Mann of Greensboro (“Read the entire Constitution,” Jan. 10), I can agree that reading the Constitution in the House chamber was a good thing. But Mr. Mann’s interpretation, just as that of Jesse Jackson Jr., was incorrect. As with many things in history, the wording of the original (unamended) Constitution has been politicized and interpreted by the politically correct crowd to suit their own particular ends. Here is the partial text of that part of the original Constitution: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service BILL for a Term of WARD Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.” This was part of a formula used to apportion representatives to the House of Representatives based on the population of any particular district in a state. The Constitution went on to read that “the Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative ...” The “whole numbers of free persons” meant that all free persons of the general population, including free blacks, would be counted for congressional apportionment purposes. The term “three fifths of all other persons,” referred to the general slave population, not to the individual slave being three-fifths of a man. Slaves could not vote, own property or serve on juries. In certain areas, the slave population outnumbered the free population. For example, if 90,000 free men lived in a certain district, that district would be entitled to three representatives. If 120,000 slaves lived in the same district, three-fifths of that slave population would be 72,000. That number allowed two additional representatives for that district, for a total of five. According to the original Constitution, “The State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse [sic] three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New York six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five and Georgia three.” Why did Virginia get to choose 10 representatives, the most of any of the states at that time? It was most likely because of the large number of slaves in the state. The same could be said about North and South Carolina, with five Representatives each as opposed to the highly populous Northern states, although a few slaves did live and work in the north. We also should recall that a number of free blacks would own slaves in many of the Southern states, including North and South Carolina. Those free blacks would be counted with the general population for apportionment purposes, and only threefifths of their aggregate slave population would be counted for the same purpose. Arguments have been made that indentured servants were nothing more than slaves, although after a period of years when their debt was paid for passage to the new country, usually from a European country, they were freed. The original Constitution treated indentured servants as free men, and congressional apportionment was determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, those bound to service for a term of years. A possible reason that the original Constitution was not read by members of the house is that except for its historical relevance, it does not apply to today’s business. Only that which is applicable to the function of Congress today was read. After all, slavery was laid to rest by the Thirteenth Amendment, which was ratified in December 1865. Considering the challenges our country faces in the world today, it’s about time that all of us laid the issue to rest. • • • Bill Ward is a writer and historian living in Salisbury.

fenders under 17 as juveniles, and the remaining 38 states set the juvenile age at under 18. Raising the age for treating teen offenders as juveniles has been an issue at the General Assembly for several years and a sentencing and policy advisory commission in 2007 urged lawmakers to make the change. Supporters said changing the law passed in 1919 wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away prosecutorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to try teenagers as adults in the gravest cases. State law allows someone as young as 13 to be tried as an adult on a felony charge, if a judge agrees. Traffic offenses committed by persons 16 and older would continue to be judged in adult criminal courts. Judging the 16- and 17year-olds accused of misdemeanors and low-level, nonviolent felonies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 30,000 teens each year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in juvenile courts would cost taxpayers about $50 million a year, the panel created by the General Assembly in 2009 said.

Tunisians drive strongman from power after 23 years TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Protesters enraged over soaring unemployment and corruption drove Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power Friday after 23 years of iron-fisted rule, an unprecedented popular uprising in a region dominated by strongmen who do not answer to their people. Tunisians buoyant over Ben Ali’s ouster immediately worried, however, about what’s next: the caretaker leadership of the prime minister who took control, and the role of the army in the transition. The upheaval took place after weeks of escalating unrest fueled partly by social media and cell phones, as thousands of demonstrators from all walks of life rejected Ben Ali’s promises of change and mobbed the capital of Tunis to demand his ouster in the country’s largest demonstrations in generations. At least 23 people have been killed in the riots, according to the government, but opposition members put the death toll at more than three times that. On Friday, police repeatedly clashed with protesters, some of whom climbed onto the entrance roof of the dreaded Interior Ministry, widely believed for years to be a place where the regime’s opponents were tortured.

Slain judge mourned as fair-minded jurist TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The federal judge killed in the Arizona shooting rampage was known for an immigration ruling that got him death threats, but on Friday he was remembered as a man devoted to his family, his basset hounds and his Irish-Catholic heritage. U.S. District Judge John Roll had stopped by a supermarket meet-and-greet for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday when he was killed, along with five others. Giffords, recovering from a gunshot wound to the head, was still in critical condition, but progressing. Roll’s funeral Friday came amid tight security, as police officers and SWAT team members patrolled the neighborhood around St. Elizabeth Ann Seton church. About a dozen coach buses brought judges who knew Roll over the years. The speakers focused less on Judge Roll and more on John Roll, tender and at times goofy, and largely hidden from those he served.

John Paul II moved closer to sainthood VATICAN CITY (AP) — During his 2005 funeral, crowds at the Vatican shouted for Pope John Paul II to be made a saint immediately. “Santo subito!” they chanted for one of the most important and beloved pontiffs in history.

Riot police officers detain a protestor during clashes in tunisia. lence will not keep us from meeting face-to-face with our constituents at supermarkets, hardware stores or anywhere else. “This country is based on democracy, and democracy didn’t just fall into our laps,” said Carrie Matt, a casino accountant who came to talk to Berkley about student financial aid and health care. “It was hard-fought, and no one is going to deter me from accessing my democracy.” At Giffords’ outdoor event on Jan. 8, a young man asked where the congresswoman was, and aides asked him to get in line. Moments later, he shot her and 18 others. Six people were killed.

His successor heard their call. On Friday, in the fastest process on record, Pope Benedict XVI set May 1 as the date for John Paul’s beatification — a key step toward Catholicism’s highest honor and a major morale boost for a church reeling from the clerical sex abuse scandal. He set the date after declaring that a French nun’s recovery from Parkinson’s disease was the miracle needed for John Paul to be beatified. A second miracle is needed to be canonized a saint. Benedict himself will preside at the May 1 ceremony, which is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Rome for a precedent-setting Mass: Never before has a pope beatified his immediate predecessor. Although the numbers may not reach the 3 million who flocked here for John Paul’s funeral, religious tour operators in his native Poland were already preparing to bus and fly in the faithful to celebrate a man many considered a saint while he was alive.

Pilgrims killed in stampede at festival KOCHI, India (AP) — A stampede of pilgrims returning from one of India’s most popular Hindu festivals killed more than 100 people and injured 25 others Friday night, police said. The stampede was set off when a group of pilgrims in a jeep drove into a crowd of worshippers walking along a narrow forest path as they returned from offering prayers at the hilltop Sabarimala shrine in the state of Kerala in southern India, said local police official Sanjay Kumar. The annual two-month festival attracts millions of worshippers to the remote temple to the Hindu deity Ayyappan. The ceremony Friday marked the end of the festival, and an estimated 150,000 devotees were thought to have taken the narrow path out of the densely forested hills where the stampede took place, the Press Trust of India reported. Millions of devotees make the pilgrimage each year and nearly 2,000 police officers were deployed near the shrine to prevent such accidents from happening, PTI reported. A small stampede last week killed one pilgrim, PTI reported.

Meetings with constituents proceed LAS VEGAS (AP) — Rep. Shelley Berkley threw open the doors of her congressional office Friday, inviting constituents to stop in to ask questions, lodge complaints or plead for help. There was no metal detector, no patdowns. People had only to fill out a card to see the congresswoman. The open house was much the same as the event held by Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords a week ago, except for one thing: In Las Vegas, five patrol cars idled in the parking lot. At least a half-dozen lawmakers around the country met with constituents Friday at gatherings similar to the “Congress on Your Corner” meeting where Giffords was shot through the head. The events, they said, would send a message: Vio-

Obama to ease travel restrictions to Cuba TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to loosen Cuban travel policy to allow students and church groups to go to the communist country, the administration announced Friday. Students seeking academic credit and churches traveling for religious purposes will be able to go to Cuba. The plan will also let any American send as much as $500 every three months to Cuban citizens who are not part of the Castro administration and are not members of the Communist Party. Also, more airports will be allowed to offer charter service. Right now, only three airports in Miami, Los Angeles and New York City can offer authorized charters to Cuba. That will be expanded to any international airport with proper customs and immigration facilities as long as a licensed travel agencies asks to run charters from the airport. The White House press office sent out a release saying Obama had directed the changes, which do not need congressional approval. They will be put in place within two weeks. Changes Obama made last year already increased Cuban-Americans’ ability to visit family and send money to relatives. The changes are similar to the travel policies under President Bill Clinton.

Diversity panel calls for women serving in combat units WASHINGTON (AP) — A military advisory commission is recommending that the Pentagon do away with a policy that bans women from serving in combat units, breathing new life into a longsimmering debate. Though thousands of women have been involved in

the fights in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have done so while serving in combat support roles — as medics, logistics officers and so on — because defense policy prohibits women from being assigned to any unit smaller than a brigade whose primary mission is direct combat on the ground. On Friday, a special panel was meeting to polish the final draft of a report that recommends the policy be eliminated “to create a level playing field for all qualified service members.” If it were approved by the Defense Department, it would be yet another sizeable social change in a force that in the last year has seen policy changes to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly for the first time in the military and to allow Navy women to serve on submarines for the first time. The newest move is being recommended by the Military Leadership Diversity Commission, established by Congress two years ago, and expected to send its report to Congress and President Barack Obama in the spring. The Army is doing its own internal study of the question as well. The new report by a panel of retired and current military officers says that keeping women out of combat posts prohibits them from serving in roughly 10 percent of Marine Corps and Army occupational specialties and thus is a barrier to promotions and advancement.

‘The Good Wife’ wants Rumsfeld to appear as himself PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The latest idea for a reallife cameo on the CBS drama “The Good Wife” — former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld — has been nixed before it even got anywhere. The Golden Globe-nominated drama has had public figures occasionally appear as themselves, including Vernon Jordan, Lou Dobbs and Joe Trippi. Producers of the show said Friday they were writing an episode with a role for Rumsfeld, who was the defense secretary in George W. Bush and Gerald Ford’s administrations. Robert King, who produces the show with his wife Michelle, said he wanted Rumsfeld to appear as a witness in a lawsuit, testifying about why aggressive interrogation techniques like water-boarding are sometimes needed during wartime. “It’s an episode about moral relativism about what is considered torture and what is not,” Robert King said. But Keith Urbahn, who works for the former defense secretary, said the idea rules Rumsfeld out.

Border fence project cut off WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Friday ended a high-tech border fence project that cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion but did little to improve security. Congress ordered the hightech fence along the border with Mexico in 2006 amid a clamor over the porous border, but it yielded only 53 miles of protection. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the lesson of the multimillion-dollar program is there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution for border security. Napolitano said the department’s new technology strategy for securing the border is to use existing, proven technology tailored to the distinct terrain and population density of each region of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S-Mexico border. That would provide faster technology deployment, better coverage and more bang for the buck, she said. Although it has been well known that the virtual fence project would be dumped, Napolitano officially informed key members of Congress Friday that an “independent, quantitative, science-based review made clear” the fence, known as SBInet, “cannot meet its original objective of providing a single, integrated border security technology solution.” The fence, initiated in 2005, was to be a network of cameras, ground sensors and radars that would be used to spot incursions or problems and decide where to deploy Border Patrol agents. It was supposed to be keeping watch over most of this nation’s southern border with Mexico by this year. Instead, taxpayers ended up with about 53 miles of operational “virtual fence” in Arizona for a cost of at least $15 million a mile, according to testimony in previous congressional hearings. The high-tech fence was developed as part of a Bush administration response to a demand for tighter border security. The Bush administration awarded Boeing a three-year, $67 million contract. ThenHomeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said at the time the department was “looking to build a 21st century virtual fence.” But the fence had a long list of glitches and delays. Its radar system had trouble distinguishing between vegetation and people in windy weather, cameras moved too slowly and satellite communications also were slow.

SALISBURY POST

We must never forget Dr. King’s legacy n Monday Jan. 17 the world will pause to observe the silver anniversary of the American National Holiday honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was a citizen of the world and a great American hero who is often reREV. DR. ferred to as GEORGE JACKSON the “Drum Major for Justice.” In his memory people from all walks of life will congregate in houses of worship and community centers as one body in spirit and in truth, accented by our uniqueness, illuminated by our similarities. We will assemble to celebrate all that is good about our nation. On the King holiday we rejoice in our freedom, our liberty and in our inalienable rights. It is a day in which we are proud to be Americans and live the American dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We must never forget that our freedom was acquired at a high premium. More than 250,000 men and women have died in our several foreign and domestic wars. Unknown millions were lost in the tragic middle passage from West Africa to America’s eastern shore. We can only imagine the countless murdered slaves and unidentified bodies at the end of a lynch mob’s rope…Unknown soldiers martyred on a stage cluttered and crowded with the atrocities of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. On Monday we will pause to not only honor a man but the paradigm of a “beloved community” that he so vehemently advocated. God anointed him to speak to the conscience of America. He was an icon who represented the disenfranchised, discounted, forgotten and unheard masses. King desperately wanted our nation to rise up and live out the true meaning of her creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.” He was willing to fight hate with the powerful, healing love of Jesus to deliver his people from oppression. He believed that who the Son sets free is free indeed. He taught us that “unearned suffering is redemptive,” “you shall reap what you sow” and without social action there is no social change. Eighty-two years ago on January 15, 1929, God blessed the world with Martin Luther King Jr. After 39 years well spent, on April 4, 1968, God beckoned him from labor to reward. We are forever grateful that his life still impacts our lives. His dream, though sometimes deferred, is yet alive. His powerful words resonate in our ears and his truth still marches on in all people of faith, hope and love. Let’s work for peace now, so that our living will not be in vain. Let’s live in peace so that Dr. King’s death was not in vain. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:2).

AssociAted Press

Massiah Butler, 9, right, and Kaya Myers, 9, raise their linked hands up in the air Jan. 13 with other fourth grade students from Watkins elementary at the end of reciting the 1963 ‘i Have A dream’ speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

Closer to racial equality? TLANTA (AP) — Despite having their first black president, Americans are no more certain than before that the country is closer to the racial equality preached by Martin Luther King Jr., a poll shows. Seventy-seven percent of people interviewed in an AP-GfK poll say there has been significant progress toward King’s dream, about the same as the 75 percent who felt that way in 2006, before Obama was elected. Just over one in five, 22 percent, say they feel there has been “no significant progress” toward that dream. “The exuberance and thrill of seeing an African American elected to the presidency has been tempered by the outrageous claims that we’ve heard about him,” said William Jelani Cobb, a history professor at Rutgers University.

Real concerns that King fought for remain, even with a black president, he said. “And the violent rhetoric we've seen directed towards (Obama) diminishes the initial sentiment that we've made great progress because of the election,” he said. The poll also reveals that more people plan to celebrate Monday's federal holiday honoring King — 30 percent, compared to 23 percent who had such plans five years ago. That includes 46 percent of nonwhites, 38 percent of college graduates, 36 percent who live in urban areas and 36 percent who attend religious services at least weekly, according to the poll. Some communities in the South, including around Atlanta, where schools have been closed because of a snow and ice storm, have decided to make up one of the days on MLK Day, upsetting

some African-American groups. In 1994, Congress added community service as a focus of the federal holiday, which marks its 25th anniversary this year. More than one million Americans are expected to participate in 13,000 projects around the country on the King Day of Service, said Patrick Corvington, head of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency charged with administering service projects on the King holiday. “The focus on service has allowed for a different kind of conversation about Dr. King and what he was about,” Corvington said. “It allows all people to connect with Dr. King in different ways.” The new poll also shows most of the nation in support of the King holiday. Three-quarters of those surveyed this year say King's birthday should be so

honored, with 84 percent of nonwhite respondents believing so, compared to 68 percent of white respondents. Younger adults are also more apt to feel the birthday deserves the honor, as 81 percent among those under 50 years old supported the holiday, compared to 66 percent among those 50 to 64 and 62 percent among seniors. The civil rights icon, who would have turned 82 on Saturday, is the only American who was not a U.S. president honored with a federal holiday. The AP-GfK Poll was conducted January 5-10, 2010 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,001 adults nationwide, and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. Online: www.ap-gfkpoll.com

Awakening to Life A

n introductory course in the practice of mindfulness will be offered for four weeks on Tuesdays, 7-8:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 18, at Center for Faith & the Arts. Most people tend to get lost in their thoughts. Learning a few mindfulness skills can guide attention to the desired focus, helping the mind to settle and calm. The practice, inherited from the Buddhist tradition, is increasingly being utilized in Western psychology to alleviate a variety of mental and physical conditions, and Christian communities have adopted the practice as a form of contemplative prayer. Mindfulness classes provide an opportunity to learn simple and gentle practices to guide the mind and train in settling and calming the inner activity that often fills one’s thoughts and emotions. The class uses simple exercises, such as enjoying a smell or taste, watching one’s breath and walking, to begin training the mind to settle and ease mental activity. Then the mind’s natural peace and stillness becomes more available to one on a daily basis. A natural balance and wellness of the body and mind also becomes available. This is why medical facilities and health programs often recommend mindfulness and relaxation classes to promote physical and mental healing. Competencies, or gifts, from the six weeks of training are as follows:

• An understanding of what mindfulness is and what meditation is; • Experiencing the benefits of awareness of a moment and being present to the here and now; • Developing ability to focus on an object and maintain concentration; • Noting an increased ability to place full attention on an object or subject; • Ability to relax one’s body and calm one's body in daily life; • Experiencing walking mindfully in daily life; • Experiencing deep listening and careful speaking and the benefit of using these skills in daily life; • Experiencing an increased awareness for the capacity to grow in acceptance and understanding of self and others. Facilitators for the upcoming study being held at CFA are Sam and Marilyn Warlick. They bring to this training years of experience in the practice of mindfulness. The cost for the course is $10 to cover materials. Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothing and bring a cushion or yoga mat. Center for Faith & the Arts is located in the lower level of Haven Lutheran Church, 207 W. Harrison St. For more information about the “Awakening to Life” course, call the Warlicks at 704-639-8971.

The Rev. Dr. George B. Jackson is founder and chairman of the Martin Luther King Social Action Committee.

My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. PROVERBS 3:21-26 NIV-UK

He wants a relationship with. Don't let the devil steal your time with the Lord. Don't let him steal the word from you. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. How does he accomplish that? By stealing the word from you. He knows the power of worship and praise. He tried to use it as the last temptation against Jesus. Matthew 4: 8-10 “...again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, ‘all these things I will give You if you will fall down and worship me.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall serve the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” Satan knew the power he would have over Jesus, if he could only get Jesus to worship him instead of God. To worship something is to spend a lot of time with. Where are we spending our time and with whom or what? I encourage you to start this new year off on the right foot. Start the year off with knowledge of the word. Carve out a piece of your day that is set aside for God only. Your Father wants to know you on a more intimate level. He loves you so much. Can't you find time for him today? STAY IN THE WORD!

S48674

ow much time do you give to the Father each day? Not just a hurried bit here and there but real time just between you and Him. Where are you lacking in your life? God says his people perish from lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6) NETA How do we MONROE obtain this knowledge? We obtain knowledge from meditating on the word of God. In order to bear fruit we must meditate on the word. What fruit, you may ask? Fruit of being prosperous, fruit of healing, fruit of peace, fruit of joy, fruit of forgiveness. To be close to someone is to spend time with them. To spend quality time with them. How well do you know your best friend, your earthly mother and father, your siblings, your spouse, or your children? The reason you know them so well is the time spent with them. To be closer to God is to spend time with him in his word. Your heavenly Father wants to spend quality time with you. He wants to be close to you. He wants you to come to him personally, not just through church, through your pastor or priest, but for you to come straight to him through his word and through your praise and worship of him. You are the one

Even though Capricorns don’t wait for luck because they make things happen, there’s a good chance many of you are in a benefic cycle in which you should be able to acquire some of the material things you’ve always wanted to have. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t associate with individuals who lack drive, initiative or purpose just because your ambitious urges are at low ebb. Unfortunately, you’ll only diminish them further. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — How you behave socially will cause others to perceive you in either a good or unflattering way. Be very careful about your behavior, and don’t put your foot in your mouth. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although others might want you to think so, there are no perfect people. When mixing in an unfamiliar group, keep your expectations realistic, your head out of the clouds and your pie out of the sky. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you ask a friend to do you a favor, you had better be very explicit about the details, such as how you want it done and when. If you aren’t, it might only create additional problems for you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Subdue an inclination to spend lots of money just to show off or impress another. Any acceptance by others that is predicated on how much you’re worth is likely to be phony and insincere. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — By starting out believing that everybody is equal and nobody is better than the rest, you stand an excellent chance of finding out what people are really like, behind their masks. If you don’t, you can be fooled. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Try to avoid all forms of overindulgence regarding what you eat or drink, because you’re likely to be far more susceptible at this time. To keep your waistline trim, don’t gratify fatty whims. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you attempt to employ flattery to further your purposes, you are likely to be labeled a shallow person by the very people whom you want to impress. Don’t let yourself come off in such a manner. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Putting on airs or affectations will dull your image, not enhance it in the eyes of others. If you want to make an impression, simply be your pleasant, easygoing self around everybody, no matter who they are. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Instead of looking at situations realistically today, you could color the facts to suit your needs and desires. Unfortunately, these tactics will keep you out of the winner’s circle. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There aren’t any free rides to easy street, so if you don’t want to be disappointed, don’t expect more than what you know you’re legitimately entitled to. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — What you believe to be a harmless flirtation in order to get the attention of another is likely to be perceived as anything but to your oneand-only. Be mindful of his/her feelings.

Excessive yawning an enigma Dear Dr. Gott: I am disabled with extensive nerve damage from liver failure. I have a lot of problems. Just in the past few months, I’ve had spells where I yawn constantly. The problem usually starts shortly after I wake up, but it also happens later in the day. They aren’t wimpy yawns, DR. PETER little either, but GOTT those that start in your toes and gather momentum as they head north. By the time they reach my head, my mouth is wide open and I’m stretching my jaw as far as I can. This may go on for hours and simply wears me out, not to mention that it kinda hurts. Any ideas? Dear Reader: Unless performed intentionally, yawning is an involuntary action involving many body parts. The mouth opens, the jaw drops, abdominal muscles flex, lungs expand, the diaphragm is pushed down, heart rate increases, and muscles and joints flex. The process is reversed as we force that air back out of the mouth. People of every age — even an 11-week-old fetus will yawn. And when we see someone do just that, we will likely follow along. To even read about the topic in my column will likely cause a person to yawn. Excessive yawning can be caused by a vasovagal reaction on the blood vessels and could indicate a cardiac problem, sleep apnea or excessive

daytime fatigue. Because of this, you should address the subject with your doctor or cardiologist. Yawning doesn’t reflect boredom, as proven by athletes who will yawn prior to running a race or entering a swim meet. Therefore, I recommend you make that appointment to the bottom of the problem. Dear Dr. Gott: Is there any cure for scleroderma? Dear Reader: The localized form of scleroderma affects only the skin, while systemic scleroderma damages the heart, lungs, kidneys and digestive system. Symptoms and treatment vary, depending on the type. Localized scleroderma can resolve on its own, systemic cannot, but a variety of medications is available to reduce the intensity of pain and help control symptoms. Some drugs can dilate blood vessels, possibly reducing the severity of symptoms of conditions such as Raynaud’s disease and kidney and lung abnormalities. Physical therapists can help a patient work toward methods to manage pain, improve mobility, and increase strength. The appearance of skin lesions can be helped through ultraviolet-light exposure or laser surgery. On the home front, a person should remain active, protect the skin from cold, discontinue smoking, and refrain from eating foods that contribute to heartburn or gas. Walking, yoga or tai chi might be to your liking. Should Raynaud’s be present, remember to protect your hands at all times, such as by wearing gloves when placing foods in or taking them out of the

freezer, or when hanging clothes on the line to dry. Dear Dr. Gott: I have read about plantar warts that your readers have. Well, I have seed warts almost over my complete back, and they have spread to other parts of my body. My grandfather also had them on his back. My back itches badly all the time. Are they inherited? Is there anything that will help me get rid of them? I have shown them to my dermatologist, and he said he could freeze them off but that was about all he could do. What do you think? Dear Reader: Seed warts are simply common warts with black dots that originate from the blood vessels that surround them. They are contagious and caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) that enters the skin through a simple cut or crack. As with all warts, a number of treatment methods are available. However, because there is no single cure, some may appear ineffective. One option is cryotherapy. Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the wart and can be painful but effective. In my opinion, this is your best bet with the process performed by a dermatologist; however, liquid nitrogen can be purchased at your local pharmacy without the necessity of a prescription. The nitrogen freezes and bursts skin cells that contain the HPV, thus giving the immune system an opportunity to attack and destroy the virus. Then there’s minor surgery or laser surgery. The disadvantage to surgery is the expense and the warts might scar the skin. United FeatUre Syndicate

Two bites are better than one BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

In “Time Enough for Love,” Robert Heinlein wrote, “Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.” Bridge contracts can be like that. If you have two or three bites — two or three chances — to make your contract, taste as many as possible. In today’s deal South is in six hearts. West leads the club queen: king, ace. East returns the missing trump. How should declarer continue? South’s four-heart opening bid promised an eightcard suit and some 6-10 highcard points. North cautiously used Blackwood, wondering if his partner had traded on the favorable vulnerability to open with an aceless

Doctors amputate Zsa Zsa Gabor’s leg LOS ANGELES (AP) — Doctors in Los Angeles say they have successfully amputated most of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s right leg. They say Friday’s surgery at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center was successful and the 93-year-old “Moulin Rouge” and “Queen of Outer Space” star is recovering. Gabor had an infection in her leg for several months and doctors tried using antibiotics to save the leg. She was hospitalized Jan. 2.

wonder. (If you use Blackwood, you must be willing to bid six even if an ace is missing.) At first glance, it looks as though South needs the spade finesse to work. But there is a second bite available. Maybe the diamond king will drop in two or three rounds. After taking trick two, declarer cashes dummy’s diamond ace and ruffs a diamond in his hand. He returns to dummy by trumping his second club and ruffs another diamond. If the king does not put in an appearance, South runs the rest of his hearts, which will squeeze West if he has both missing kings. If West does not discard the diamond king on the last trump, declarer throws the diamond queen from the dummy, then plays a spade, planning to finesse dummy’s

Downed power line kills man; wife, son die trying to help him SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A downed power line electrocuted a man outside his Southern California home on Friday, then killed his wife and son as the two each attempted rescue in the family’s backyard, authorities said. San Bernardino firefighters arrived to find three bodies in contact with an arcing 12,000-volt electrical line in the backyard, but it was too dangerous to free them, fire spokesman Jason Serrano said. A utility company finally cut the power and coroner’s officials were called. The firefighters had been called to the scene at 5:45 a.m. by a 17-year-old girl who said her parents and brother had been electrocuted and were lying in the backyard, Serrano said. “It’s absolutely a tragic story,” Serrano said. The victims were identified as Steven Vego, 43; his wife, Sharon, 42, and their son, 21-year-old Jonathan Cole, according to Cindy Bachman, a spokeswoman with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Serrano said it was unclear why the line fell. However, strong winds were sweeping through parts of Southern California on Friday and the National Weather Service said some gusts could reach 50 mph in the area. Southern California Edison representatives said the utility was still investigating. The fallen line set small

grass fires in the front and back yards, which were out by the time firefighters arrived, Serrano said. Frank Vego, the 48-yearold brother of the oldest victim, claimed it was the second time power lines had fallen and set fires at the house. “It does appear to me that something wasn’t quite right,” he said. “This is 2011, and families aren’t supposed to be killed early in the morning by falling power lines.” Vincent Haydel, a Southern California Edison spokesman, said a relative told him that a power line went down in the neighborhood several years ago but he had no details and the company would have to investigate. Authorities said the father, Steven Vego, had heard a “pop” early Friday, went outside and was trying to douse the backyard fire when he touched the power line, which he may not have noticed. “The mother went out to assist him and she, too, became a victim,” Serrano added. The 21-year-old was electrocuted when he tried to pull his parents free. The teenage girl and another brother, 10, were inside the home and were not harmed, authorities said. Neighbor Stella White, 79, said she woke up to a loud “kaboom” and saw fire reflecting off her bedroom window. She stepped outside and saw firefighters and police and “God knows who else” swarming

the tree-lined street, which lies below foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Before dawn on Friday, neighbor Rose Armas said she was lying in bed watching TV when she heard an explosion and saw a flash of light. She went into her backyard and

Armas said. Armas also looked, and saw that they were lying face down, she said. Family friends and neighbors said Steven Vego was a plumber, his wife was a nurse at a convalescent home and her son wanted to be a para-

medic. About 150 people in the San Bernardino neighborhood about 65 miles east of downtown Los Angeles were without power until the investigation into the deaths was completed, a Southern California Edison spokesman said.

Expect more rain in the Northwest, snow in the Midwest, and some rain in the South on Saturday. A Pacific Storm continues pushing multiple waves of low pressure onshore over the Pacific Northwest. These systems will bring more rain to Oregon and Washington, at both low levels and across the Cascades. Snow levels at 6,000 feet will allow for rain at even the mountain peaks. Thus, flooding remains of concern for the regions many rivers. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches again and flood advisories have been issued across western Oregon and Washington. To the east, a cold front extends from the low pressure system in the Pacific, over British Columbia, and into the Northern Rockies. This will allow for snow to develop again over Montana. However, the snow showers will be significantly less than Friday as the system starts to advance eastward into the High Plains. This system will have little moisture remaining, thus, light snow showers will develop across the Dakotas on Saturday. Further east, a low pressure system that kicked up a few inches of snow across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest makes its way over the Great Lakes and Midwest on Saturday. This will bring more snow to the region, with lake effect snow anticipated along the eastern shores of the Great Lakes. Expect up to 3 inches of snow in parts of Michigan, while another 2 inches is likely over northwestern New York. To the South, high pressure dominates over the Southeastern states and continues bringing mostly sunny skies and dry conditions. However, flow around this ridge pushes moisture onshore from the Gulf of Mexico into eastern Texas and northeastern Mexico. Expect scattered rain showers in these areas throughout the day, which will start to advance eastward toward the Lower Mississippi River by evening.

Phelps eyes next Olympics

Diaw fuels Bobcats in own, unique way BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

BY JIM VERTUNO Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — Michael Phelps’ 2010 ended with the echoes of his coach saying he’d been surpassed as the best swimmer in the world. So welcome to 2011, when Phelps tries to shut out his subpar year and start preparing for the 2012 Olympics. Phelps said Thursday he’s putting aside all distractions, including his budding golf game, to start preparing for the world championships later this year and the London Olympics. Everything starts Friday

night when he gets in the pool at the Austin Grand Prix at the University of Texas where he’ll swim six events over three days. Phelps will race five times against Ryan Lochte, who got the best of him at last year’s national championships and dominated the short-course world championships to emerge as Phelps’ chief rival for London. “Just getting in here and getting some races under my belt is the No. 1 step. Training could be better, could be worse. I’m starting to feel a

2010 ended with Michael Phelps’ coach saying he had been surpassed as the world’s best swimmer.

Overcash hangs ‘em up

CHARLOTTE — Boris Diaw sticks out among NBA players and it’s not just because he rides a Segway to work or often comes to the practice court holding a cup of coffee. The Charlotte Bobcats forward was nearly traded twice in the offseason, but talks and acts as it doesn’t faze him. He’s one of the few players criticized for not shooting enough. In an era where diets are scrutinized, Diaw carries extra weight yet hasn’t missed a game in nearly four years. He also has such versatil-

ity he can play every position. His wide skill set is part of the reason the Bobcats are surging under new coach Paul Silas — even if his behavior is sometimes maddening to teammates. “Because sometimes it’s too nonchalant in situations where you don’t need it,” forward Gerald Wallace said. Added guard Stephen Jackson: “If he would just have a little more energy out there he probably would average a triple-double.” Don’t expect the 6-foot-8 Diaw to get upset about those comments. “Whether you act like

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Florida quarterback Doug Johnson and tackle Kenyatta Walker started jawing with Michigan State defensive end Hubert Thompson after a Gator touchdown, and suddenly a melee involving a multitude of massive bodies broke out right in the middle of the football field. That ruckus occurred on Jan. 1, 2000, at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., and one of the striped shirts trying to restore order in a turbulent situation was Frank Overcash, a 1973 graduate of South Rowan. What was Overcash thinking? “Well, Steve Spurrier’s coaching OVERCASH Florida, the two teams didn’t like each other very much, and both sidelines have just emptied,” Overcash said. “It’s crazy out there, so what I’m thinking is, ‘Oh, my gosh, we’ve still got a whole quarter of this thing to go.’ ” Overcash survived, and Michigan State won 37-34 when Paul Edinger kicked a field goal as time expired. Overcash says every game he ever worked was memorable in its own way, but that dizzy affair in Florida 11 years ago stands out as the game of games. All told, Overcash toiled in 201 college contests, mostly as field judge. No. 201 was the recent BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. Pitt beat Kentucky 27-10 with no altercations, no craziness and no controversy, and that’s exactly the way the 55-year-old Overcash wanted to wrap up his career. He wanted it to end with a period, not an exclamation point. “My legs are giving out,” explained Overcash, who has a medical chart filled with shoulder and knee surgeries. “My left knee — it’s been bone on bone there for a little while, and when you’re an official at a top level, you’re part of a highly skilled, finely tuned team, just like college athletes are. You have to know when it’s getting harder to keep up.” Overcash’s love of football had early roots. He was a youthful mascot for Landis High, back in the school’s glory days. His uncle, Oscar, who became a

Brevard’s darius Moose, right, guards Catawba’s Kelvin drakeford during Wednesday’s south Atlantic Conference win.

Moose Former Carson star efficient in his role at Brevard BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Brevard’s Darius Moose considered taking an open 18-footer from the wing against Catawba on Wednesday night, but instead he passed the ball to guard Josh Roper and headed for the paint. Good decision. It was a shot Moose will take — and probably make — next season, but for now he’s a freshman with dues to pay and things to learn, while Roper is a senior leader and one of the SAC’s top players. Moose, the Rowan County Player of the Year at Carson as a senior, has started every game for second-place Brevard (6-3, 41 SAC) and is averaging 6.3 points and 6.1 rebounds. Those aren’t eye-popping stats, but he’s handling his role on a team built around the quick-

ness and guile of guards Roper and Gaither Hendrix. Moose has been awfully efficient. He’s shooting 58 percent from the floor and has committed just three turnovers all season, while playing 25 minutes per night. “Everything’s been good except for the weather,” Moose said with a laugh. “It’s really cold up there.” Moose’s season is headed in the right direction. He pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds in Brevard’s 80-75 win against Catawba and he had a careerhigh 14 points when the Tornados won 91-87 at home against Mars Hill on Saturday. “Darius is having a fantastic freshman season,” Brevard coach Michael Jones said. “We’re very tickled with how he’s battling and competing.” Moose wasn’t heavily recruit-

ed despite scoring 1,768 points in a four-year varsity career at Carson, mostly because he’s just 6-foot-3 and has always played inside. But Moose has long arms and strong hands. That combination has enabled him to continue to get more than his share of rebounds in the SAC. “We lost our inside players from last season (6-7 star Jonathan Whitson and 6-10 Sam Carlisle), and that’s why people motivated us by picking us for 10th this year,” Roper said. “I didn’t have any idea who our 4man was going to be, but Moose has done everything. He’s played very big.” While it was assumed Moose would have to move to the wing in college, he’s playing power forward in Brevard’s system.

Prep games on ice From staff reports

The stack of postponed prep sporting events grew a little taller on Friday, with all games involving Rowan County teams pushed back. A few rescheduling announcements were made on Friday. West Rowan plans to make up its home basketball games against North Iredell on Saturday, Jan. 22. That will be an NPC quadruple-header starting at 1 p.m. West was originally scheduled to play Concord on Jan. 22, but that game won’t be played now. January 25 is now an exam date, so no Rowan teams will be playing on that night. The slate of games set for the 25th will be rescheduled. Salisbury’s CCC schedule is undergoing major transformations. The Hornets are planning to play West Davidson on Jan. 22 and now will be playing at Central Davidson on Jan. 26 and at home against Central Davidson on Feb. 2. The big A.L. Brown-Concord SPC matchup that was scheduled for Friday was postponed to a later date. Davie’s scheduled CPC games at R.J. Reynolds on Friday were postponed until Jan. 22.  There was a YVC doubleheader played on Friday, believe it or not. South Davidson swept West Montgomery. The 63-62 result in the boys game was a bit of a surprise. West Montgomery won the first meeting of the teams 61-53.  Gray Stone, which competes in the YVC in everything except football, plans to open its shiny new gym on Jan. 21 when West Montgomery visits Misenheimer.  The CCC and NPC swim meets were scheduled for Jan. 25, so they’ll also have to be moved.

 Local college hoops Catawba’s basketball teams are home today against Tusculum in a SAC doubleheader that begins at 2 p.m. Catawba’s women (11-4, 5-0) are rolling. Tusculum (7-6, 3-2) is one of four teams tied for second place, two games behind the Indians. Jasmine Gunn, an amazing 4-foot11 All-America candidate, leads the Pioneers. She’s averaging 19.3 points a game. Catawba counters with the inside play of Dana “Double-Double” Hicks and the 3-point shooting of Milica Ivanovic. Catawba has won seven in a row. Tusculum has won three out of four.  Rob Troutman, Justin Steigerwald and Tommy Klempin average double figures for Tusculum’s men (6-9, 3-2). Klempin stands 6-10. Tusculum comes to Goodman Gym off back-to-back road wins at Wingate

and Carson-Newman. Catawba (5-8, 1-4) has been struggling without injured point guard Dominick Reid, who is also expected to sit out today’s game as he recovers from a concussion. Catawba has lost four straight. Freshman Keon Moore (14.1 points a game) and guard Justin Huntley (10.5) will lead the Indians today. Lee Martin turned in a double-double on Wednesday against Brevard.  Pfeiffer is home tonight against Queens for a Conference Carolinas doubleheader, starting at 5:30 p.m. All Pfeiffer fans are encouraged to wear black to Merner Gym. Chris Woods averages 23.3 points and 11.4 rebounds for the Falcon men (6-6, 4-1) while Reggie Hopkins (16.7 ppg) is the key player for Queens (84, 4-0), one of two teams still unbeaten in the league. Limestone is 5-0 in the league and owns a win against Pfeiffer.  Livingstone gets back on the floor on Tuesday when Bowie State visits. Bowie’s strong men are 8-2.

 Pro wrestling event A pro wrestling card — the Evolution Eight Tournament — is planned for Jan. 22 at Salisbury’s Black Box Theater on North Lee Street. Advance tickets are on sale for $8. Tickets at the door will be $10. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Bell time is 7:30 p.m. Zack Salvation, who will be taking on Logan East in the first round, appears to be the consensus pick to emerge as the champion. Manscout Jake Manning, Joey Silvia, Marcellus King, Patrick Wright, Caleb Konley and Cedric Alexander are other contenders.

 Sacred Heart hoops Sacred Heart’s girls basketball team beat the High Point Home Educators 39-13. All eight players in uniform scored for the Dolphins (15-5). Erin Ansbro had 13 points and five steals. Breya Philpot had five points and five rebounds. Caroline Parrott had eight rebounds. Kate Sullivan, Meghan Hedgepeth, Payton Russell, Annie Habeeb and Kaytee Leonguerero scored four points apiece. Sacred Heart’s boys lost 38-37 to High Point. The Dolphins (9-12) hit six 3-pointers to grab a 23-16 halftime lead, but they missed free throws down the stretch. Max Fisher scored 12 points, all on 3s. Reilly Gokey nailed three 3s, scored 12 points and turned in a strong defensive effort. Christian Hester had seven points and nine rebounds while Chili Chilton added seven rebounds.

Duke, UNC women get wins Associated Press

ACC women’s roundup ... TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jasmine Thomas scored 22 points to lead thirdranked Duke to an 87-70 victory at No. 21 Florida State on Friday night. The Blue Devils (16-0, 2-0 ACC) got 15 points each from freshmen Haley Peters and Tricia Liston, while Chelsea Gray added 13. Courtney Ward scored 25 points and Alexa Deluzio added 17 for Florida State, which closed within three points with 12:28 left only to see Duke regain command. Duke took the lead at 18-16 on Thomas’ 3-pointer that ignited a 25-8 run, culminating with a 3-pointer from Liston that put the Blue Devils ahead 40-24.

No. 11 UNC 83, N.C. State 76 CHAPEL HILL — Italee Lucas scored 19 points as No. 11 North Carolina blew nearly all of a 24-point lead in the second half before holding on. Chay Shegog scored 13 points for the Tar Heels (16-1, 2-1 ACC), who pushed ahead by double figures late in the first half and held on the rest of the way. No. 22 Miami 77, Clemson 48 CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Riquna Williams scored a season-high 29 points to help No. 22 Miami win its first game as a ranked team this season. Shenise Johnson added 18 points for the Hurricanes (17-1, 3-0 ACC), who won their 16th straight game — tied with undefeated No. 3 Duke for the longest streak in the nation.

Sluggers lead arbitration list NEW YORK (AP) — Prince Fielder, AL MVP Josh Hamilton, major league home run champion Jose Bautista and Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon headed 119 players who filed for salary arbitration Friday. All expect to get large raises, either in settlements or in cases that go to hearings next month. Fielder made $11.25 million with the Milwaukee Brewers last year, when he hit .261 with 32 homers and 114 RBIs. He is eligible for free agency after next season. Papelbon, who also can become a free agent after the season, made $9.35 million last year. He was 5-7 with a 3.90 ERA — two runs higher than in 2009 — striking out 76 in 67 innings. Hamilton, not eligible for free agency until after the 2012 season, batted a major league-best .359 with 32 homers and 100 RBIs last year, continuing his resurgence following cocaine and alcohol addition. He missed much of the last month of the regular season because of broken ribs. Bautista set a Toronto record with 54 home runs. The Blue Jays have not gone to a hearing since pitcher Bill Risley in 1997.

About half the players in arbitration are expected to settle by Tuesday, when players and their clubs swap proposed salaries. Only a handful typically take their cases to hearings. Three players settled Friday before the filing: right-hander Matt Belisle and Colorado agreed at $2.35 million, reliever Joel Zumaya and Detroit agreed at $1.4 million, and outfielder Alex Gordon and Kansas City agreed at $1.4 million. Among free agents, designated hitter Jim Thome stayed with the Minnesota Twins for a $3 million, one-year deal, and left-hander Jeff Francis and the Royals agreed to a one-year contract worth about $2 million. “It’s great to be back,” the 40-yearold Thome said. “Minnesota’s a wonderful place.” Thome hit .283 with 25 homers and 59 RBIs in only 276 at-bats last year while making $1.5 million on a oneyear contract. This new deal includes performance bonuses for plate appearances. Thome ranks eighth with 589 homers. “I don’t want to go into this season thinking this is my last year, because I think that’s unfair,” Thome said.

SALISBURY POST

AssociAted Press

Auburn defensive lineman Nick Fairley annouced he would put his name in for the NFL draft.

Fairley heads to NFL Associated Press From around college football... MOBILE, Ala. — Nick Fair ley, Auburn’s other big-name star, also is heading to the NFL after winning the Lombardi Award and helping Cam Newton lead the Tigers to a national title. The potential No. 1 overall pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school, saying he didn’t make up his mind until that morning after long talks with his coaches and his parents and a solitary drive around his hometown. The deciding factor? “I was thinking, ‘What more could I accomplish my senior year?’” Fairley said. His decision means Auburn’s two most dominant stars won’t be back next season. Newton, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, said Thursday night that he was entering the draft. The two junior college transfers led the Tigers to a 14-0 season and their first national title since 1957. KEENUM GETS SIXTH YEAR HOUSTON — The NCAA has granted a sixth year of eligibility to Houston quarterback Case Keenum, who missed the final nine games of the 2010 season with a torn knee ligament. The NCAA’s decision was first reported by KRIV-TV. The school announced it on Friday. Keenum was nearing several NCAA career records when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while attempting a tackle in a 31-13 loss at UCLA on Sept. 18. That came a week after a mild concussion in a win over UTEP. The school announced in mid-October that it would ask the NCAA to grant Keenum another year. Houston lost six of nine games after Keenum went out and finished 5-7. “I’ve been on pins and needles, but it’s definitely paid off,” Keenum said. “I’m superexcited. It’s going to be a great year.” FLORIDA’S BRANTLEY STAYS GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Once Florida hired offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to run a pro-style offense, John Brantley’s decision became clear. Brantley, mostly ineffective in Florida’s spread system, chose Friday to stay in Gainesville and finish his college career with the Gators. Brantley considered transferring after coach Urban Meyer stepped down last month, wanting to see if he might find a better fit elsewhere. But his father, John Brantley III, told The Associated Press in a text message that his son has “been a Gator his whole life and no reason to change now.” So Brantley will get a fresh start under Weis, whose resume includes productive, pro-style offenses at Notre Dame. Weis also won three Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots and helped the Kansas City Chiefs make the playoffs this season. “(The pro offense is) something that he was very comfortable doing in high school and I’m sure that’s something he’s going to look forward to doing,” said Jacksonville coach Kerwin Bell, who coached Brantley at Trinity High in nearby Ocala. “He is going to have a wonderful guy with a lot of experience who’s coached a lot of great quarterbacks.”

OVERCASH

DIAW

FroM 1c

starting center at N.C. State, was one of Landis’ all-time greats. Overcash was a very good high school athlete himself, a decent basketball player and an all-star football player. In 1972, his senior season at South Rowan, he had the distinction of being voted to the all-county team on both offense (center) and defense (linebacker). South struggled when Overcash was there. Coach Reid Bradshaw hadn’t gotten things rolling yet, and Overcash played on teams that went 2-8 two straight years. “I enjoyed it, and I was an OK player,” Overcash said. “It was just pretty tough for South in those days in the South Piedmont. We were the only county school in the league and playing all those city schools like Asheboro, Albemarle, Thomasville, Concord and Statesville.” Overcash bulked up to 260 pounds and walked on at Appalachian State, but he quickly realized his future wasn’t on the playing field. It was time to concentrate on his education. He earned his Health/P.E. degree, then landed a job close to home with Mooresville Parks and Recreation. He stayed in Mooresville five years before getting an offer in 1982 from the Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Commission in South Carolina. That job became his life’s work. He expanded Lancaster’s number of parks from 10 to 52 before retiring from his post a few weeks ago. While he was busy raising a family and directing a parks system, Overcash also was rising through the officiating ranks. “When you work in parks and rec, your pay is not going to be great, so I got into officiating as a way to supplement my income,” Overcash said. “I started with Pee Wees, working all day on Saturdays, and it went from

there. When anyone needed any kind of game called, I called it. Every game you call, the more reps you get, the more comfortable you get, and the better you get.” When he became a high school official in South Carolina, his goal was to be selected to work the NorthSouth All-Star Game and the Shrine Bowl. He attained both goals, but his career was only beginning. One high school game cracked the door to the college ranks. “We had one of those crazy plays one Friday, and the head of our crew, who worked college games, wasn’t sure about a ruling because it was one of those that’s different between high school and college,” Overcash explained. “All I knew was high school, so I knew the rule to apply. OVERCASH I stepped in and ruled immediately.” Not long after that, Overcash got a call from that impressed official wondering if he could help out with a Southern Conference game. Overcash wound up working SoCon games for 10 seasons and received the “Silver Whistle Award” as the league’s best official in 1995. His decade in the Southern was a springboard to the ACC. He’s spent the last 14 autumns working in that high-profile league. Trips to games in North Carolina usually meant stops at Overcash’s favorite Rowan establishments — Gary’s Barbecue and the Stag N Doe — but food and fellowship never took precedence over the job at hand. “There’s a lot of preparation to working at the ACC level,” Overcash said. “Knowing the rulebook inside and out and knowing every possible strange case is important, but there’s more to it. That team of officials manages the clock, the coaches and the players. We even manage the media when they get too close.” Conventional wisdom

says that a good officiating crew goes completely unnoticed, but Overcash said that’s not a realistic hope. “When you walk out there with a whistle, a yellow flag and a striped shirt, you’re going to get noticed,” he said with a laugh. “But what you want to do is make calls that fit the game. Make the calls that fit and that game will just rock along.” Unfortunately, Overcash has been part of games in which a crew member made a call that didn’t fit. “Someone might get too rule-booky, and after that, everyone’s going crazy, and you’ve got your hands full the rest of the night,” he said. Overcash worked 10 football games in 13 weeks this season. Each got a little tougher than the one before. “My left knee was swelling so much after a game, it was taking three or four days to recover,” Overcash said. “That’s when it’s time to move on.” He’ll miss the friends he worked with in the same way that retiring athletes miss their teammates. “One of the first things you learn in officiating or parks and recreation is it’s a team, and you can’t do it by yourself,” Overcash said. “But I am proud of my career. I was one of 600 in the nation officiating games at the top level of college football.” Overcash donned the zebra stripes for Orange, Independence and Fort Worth bowls. Looking back, though, that commotion-filled Citrus Bowl was hard to top. “I had my family with me down there because that was the Y2K weekend, and there were a lot of people convinced that the world was coming to an end,” Overcash said. “But the sun came up on Jan. 1, and it was time to go officiate some football.” Even with a riot at midfield, Overcash helped keep that game rocking along.

you’re mad at him or not, he’s still going to be the same way,” Wallace said. “He’s going to smile and keep rolling, so there’s no point in being upset.” Born to a father who was a Senegalese high jump champion and a mother who was one of France’s best basketball players, Diaw played professionally for three seasons in his native France before taking his carefree attitude to Atlanta in 2003-04. Charlotte center Nazr Mohammed was on the Hawks then and remembers how Diaw reacted when he told him to shoot more. “If you pass me the ball, I shoot it sometimes,” Mohammed said, mimicking Diaw’s French accent. “Sometimes I don’t want to shoot.” That attitude didn’t change as the 28-year-old Diaw moved to Phoenix and then Charlotte. “He’s just so talented but there are things I want him to look for, like looking for his shot when he’s open,” Silas said. “But that’s not how he really plays.” While the Bobcats are 62 since Silas replaced the fired Larry Brown, Diaw hasn’t joined his teammates in taking subtle or not-sosubtle shots at Brown’s demanding style. “Every coach has a dif-

ferent way to coach and a different approach to the game,” Diaw said, shrugging. Not even setting records gives him a charge. Diaw was unimpressed when told that last week he became the Bobcats’ career leader in consecutive games played, a streak that’s reached 177 games. He also wasn’t too excited to learn he’s played in 303 straight games overall, third longest active streak in the NBA behind the Lakers’ Derek Fisher (453) and the Hornets’ Jarrett Jack (328). “It doesn’t mean you’re doing well on the court,” Diaw said. “It means you’re on the court.” It’s classic Diaw, and nothing like many of his more volatile teammates. “A lot of us guys, especially (Jackson), we always laugh and joke that we wish we had his personality,” Wallace said. “Things wouldn’t bother us as much. Boris might be the only guy in the world I’ve never seen get upset about nothing. But he’s so skilled and talented as a big.” Often lost amid Diaw’s reluctance to take open shots or his often expressionless demeanor on the court is how many different things he can do. He’s an above-average ballhandler for his size, has the shooting range of a guard, is an exceptional passer out of the post and a decent defender against scoring big men.

Being able to feel the water is going to better in a racing environment, especially with some the guys here I’ll be able to race against.” Guys like Lochte, who beat Phelps in the 200 individual medley and the 200 backstroke at the national championships. Lochte set the only two individual world records last year and won all five individual races he entered at the short course championships. Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, said he looking at the Grand Prix races as training for Phelps, not necessarily competition with Lochte. “Michael’s traditionally got a lot out of swimming and racing hard in meets,” Bowman said. ‘He comes out of it and trains a lot better when we get home. I’m looking forward to that.” Bowman pursed his lips when reminded of his comment last year that Phelps was not the best swimmer in the world in 2010. “I’m always trying to push him ... that’s why I said that,” Bowman said. “But when you look at what he’s done already, he’s the greatest of all time even if he walks out the door and never takes another stroke. For him to even be here is a plus. To be in here with some goals and even motivated to swim fast, is even better.” Bowman has started counting down the days to the Olympic trials and reminds Phelps regularly that the weeks are starting to fly by. “It’s going to be here before we know it,” Phelps

said. “Everybody knows it’s time to start focusing, buckling down and getting ready for it. It’s hard to believe Beijing was 21/2 years ago.” Phelps said he has yet to set an event schedule for what he expects to swim at the 2012 Olympics. Phelps picked a good place to kick-start his Olympic drive. The Texas pool is where he set his first world record in the 200 butterfly in 2001 when he was 15 years old. As soon as they walked in the building, swimmer and coach looked to make sure Phelps’ name and time of 1 minute, 54.92 seconds were still on the board of pool records. “This is kind of where it all started,” Phelps said. Other swimmers have questioned if in fact Phelps does have anything left to prove after winning 14 career Olympic gold medals, including his incredible haul of eight in 2008. “If I didn’t have goals I wouldn’t have come back and gone another four years,” Phelps said. “There’s still things in this sport I want to accomplish and I know how hard that’s going to be.” As for that golf game he loves so much? Those clubs will lucky to get a peek out of the closet for the next 18 months. “We’ll retire the clubs for a little bit while we get back on track with swimming. I have my whole life to golf and try to master that sport,” Phelps said. “The clock is running out and I think it’s time to put all the focus on one thing.”

MOOSE FroM 1c There were occasions against Catawba when Moose was the biggest guy on the floor for the Tornados. Against Catawba, Moose had to guard either 6-6 Lee Martin, 6-5 Stuart Thomson or 6-6 Kejuan Mayo, and there were times when they shot and scored over him in the post. “That’s kind of how it’s

been all season,” Moose said. “I’ve played against 6-10 guys and against 240-pound guys. Everyone’s bigger. I just try to be physical and rebound.” A Carson contingent that included coaches Brian Perry, Dadrian Cuthbertson and Avery Patterson and former teammates Nick Houston and Jarod Raper was on hand at Goodman Gym on Wednesday to support Moose. “I thought it was really exciting, and we’re just awfully proud of him,” Perry

said. When starting lineups were introduced — “From Salisbury, North Carolina, Darius Moose!” — produced one of the bigger roars of the night. Moose’s game didn’t produce any roars, but he didn’t try to do too much.

Bobcats 94 O’Neal was 10 for 12 from the field as he huffed and puffed up and down the court all night and even made all three of his foul shots for Boston, which was without Kevin Garnett for the ninth straight game and missing Paul Pierce much of Friday because of foul trouble. Pierce still finished with 19 points. Rajon Rondo added 18 points and 13 assists and Ray Allen scored eight of his 19 in the fourth quarter, leading Boston on a 10-2 run that broke open the game. Gerald Wallace led Charlotte with 20 points. D.J. Augustin added 19 points and Stephen Jackson scored 13 for the Bobcats, who fell to 6-3 under interim coach Paul Silas. The Celtics needed a big night from their starters because their reserves combined for just nine points and six rebounds against the Bobcats, who were in it right up until a surge midway through the fourth quarter put the Celtics in command for good. O’Neal opened the fourth with a three-point play, getting a bonus free throw because of a lane violation, but the pesky Bobcats wouldn’t go away and got Pierce to commit his fifth foul with 8:42 left in the game and Boston up 76-72. Wallace hit a jumper to cut the margin to two, but the Celtics responded with a 10-2 run. O’Neal started it with a hook shot, then Allen hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Celtics back in command. Rondo added a 3 to make it 86-76 with about 5:25 left. Allen added three free throws after drawing a foul on a 3-pointer and the Celtics just needed to hang on from there.

NEW YORK — Beno Udrih scored 29 points on 11-of-14 shooting and the Sacramento Kings snapped a threegame losing streak with a 93-83 victory over the lethargic New York Knicks on Friday night. Rookie DeMarcus Cousins added 16 points and 10 rebounds, and reserve Carl Landry had 15 points for the Kings, now 1-3 on their six-game road trip. Perhaps it’s not surprising the victory came here: They have won four in a row at Madison Square Garden. Tyreke Evans managed just nine points on 4-of-15 shooting in his return to the lineup after missing three games with a sprained left ankle, but the Kings didn’t need much from their star guard on a night when the Knicks couldn’t do anything offensively.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Photos of Michael Dixon and Kim English accompany the season preview in Missouri’s media guide, designating them as the players most likely to inherit leadership roles after the departure of three seniors. As for returning sixth man Marcus Denmon? Just another member of the supporting cast. Everyone is well acquainted now with the 6-3 junior, who has emerged as the go-to offensive threat for the 15th-ranked Tigers (152). Denmon is one of the nation’s best 3-point shooters, up to 51 percent accuracy after going 5 for 7 while matching his career best with 27 points that helped end Nebraska’s 11-game winning streak on Wednesday night. “Wow, is he shooting it,” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. “He makes their inside game really good because it just spreads you out.” Denmon has topped 20 points seven times in the first 17 games, and five times has made four or more 3-pointers. But he’s far from a gunner, taking more than 15 shots only twice the last dozen games, and is just as dangerous on the drive as launching it. He plays a vital role in the all-court pressing defense, too, getting three or more steals in five games, and is averaging 4.5 rebounds. Unlike last season, when he deferred to seniors J.T. Tiller, Zaire Taylor and Keith Ramsey, Denmon is seizing every opportunity. “I feel my role has changed completely,” Denmon said. “Last year we had a lot of older guys, they were kind of the core and nucleus of the team. This year, I’m one of the key guys.” Denmon’s average of 17.6 points is an eight-point jump from last season, when he played a complementary role while not at full strength following knee surgery. Still, he posted a trio of 20-point games in Big 12 Conference play. “He’s healthier now and he’s playing with a lot of confidence,” coach Mike Anderson said. “I think he’s becoming that guy who is slowly becoming the leader of this team. You can see that

emerging.” Early against the Cornhuskers, Denmon skied over taller defenders for a tip-in. At one point, he personally outscored Nebraska 14-13, and he also scored 27 points on 10 for 12 shooting in an overtime loss to Georgetown. “My teammates just did a good job of looking for me,” Denmon said. “I work on it every day, trying to get good looks and open shots. That usually makes the percentages better on making them.” Earlier this month, Denmon was named to the John Wooden award midseason list. Twice he’s been Big 12 player of the week. In December, on the court a day after his cousin died of a gunshot wound in Kansas City, Denmon scored all but two of his 21 points after halftime and made the crucial three-point play late in an overtime victory over Vanderbilt. “He’s just a big-game player,” Dixon said. “A prime-time player.” Sadler’s unsuccessful strategy was to keep Denmon from getting the ball, calling him a “no-catch guy.” “He caught it,” Sadler said. “And he made us pay.” Missouri is among the highest-scoring teams in the country with an 85-point average, with Laurence Bowers, Ratliffe, Dixon and English also averaging in double figures. All are capable of carrying the load. A deep bench led by forward Justin Safford and brothers Phil and Matt Pressey also helps make it easier for Denmon to find good looks. Phil Pressey is set for his third game back from a broken right ring finger on Saturday at No. 14 Texas A&M, and played an effective 21 minutes against Nebraska while wearing a protective glove. “One of us coming out and Phil coming in, we don’t lose much,” Denmon said. “We have interchangeable parts.” English averaged a teamleading 14 points for last season’s 23-win team and is the Tigers’ other primary 3point threat, but has been less reliable in production and shot judgment. A streaky shooter who’s been off a bit, his average is down to 10.5 points.

Miller last month caused a concussion and led to a $40,000 fine. In the same game, Haloti Ngata smacked Roethlisberger in the face, breaking the quarterback’s nose with a hit that cost him a $15,000 fine. “We’re similar styles, we’re physical and we try to impose our will on each other,” Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton said. “I think both teams try to see themselves as bullies.” For the Ravens, perhaps there’s a tinge of envy that the Steelers always seem to gain the upper hand when it matters; they are 2-8 against Roethlisberger. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw two touchdown passes in a 307 wild-card dismantling of Kansas City last weekend, is 0-5 when he starts against Roethlisberger. While Baltimore is 7-3 in road playoff games, Pittsburgh is 8-0 — zero losses in 40 years — when it meets a division rival in the postseason. “Some stats you keep up with, some you don’t care about,” Lewis said. “I don’t care. We can’t pack a bag with 40 years on it and say, ‘Hey guys, look what we haven’t done in 40 years.’ Forget it.” The Ravens rebounded from last month’s loss to win their last five, with Heap — who missed nearly all the Dec. 5 game with a hamstring injury — making 10 catches against Kansas City. Ray Rice was held to 52 yards in the two regular-season games, but is the only opposing back in 50

games to run for more than 100 yards against the Steelers’ league-leading rushing defense. There’s much to worry the Ravens, too, as the Steelers have won six of seven. Polamalu, bothered for weeks by a sore right Achilles’ tendon, is the healthiest he’s been since midseason. Roethlisberger, under constant pressure last month from linebacker Terrell Suggs, often uses his size and strength to extend plays that appear to have broken down. Wide receiver Mike Wallace, who will be playing in his first postseason game, has seven catches of 40-plus yards and possesses the kind of speed the Ravens haven’t seen elsewhere. “He hit a gear that I didn’t even know existed in a human being on a little pop pass Ben threw to him (against Carolina),” Suggs said. “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s just amazing.’” There’s often a ‘wow’ factor in Ravens-Steelers games. Ward knows he doesn’t want to experience the opposite feeling, especially given that, due to the NFL’s unstable labor situation, the loser won’t know for sure when it will play again. “We know what’s at stake, and whoever wins this game will have to think about that loss all offseason,” Ward said. “It’s going to be physical. And it usually comes down to the fourth quarter.”

one of Lombardi’s assistants, Norb Hecker, as their first head coach in 1966. But his record was a very unVince-like 4-26-1, which pretty much sums up the divide between these two franchises. “That organization over there, they’ve been doing it

for a long time,” Roddy White said. “They’ve pretty much got the Super Bowl trophy named after their squad and their coach. So, they’ve got a lot of good tradition. They’ve done a lot of good things in this league.” The Packers insist they’re looking forward, but there’s

no doubt they’ve got an eye on their legacy. Green Bay hasn’t won a Super Bowl since the 1996 season. Longtime Packers such as receiver Donald Driver figure that’s long enough. “We all know exactly what sits in front of us,” Driver said. “We want that trophy. It’s named after us. We need to get it back home, where it belongs.” Even though he grew up in Georgia, Packers defensive lineman Jarius Wynn never really cheered for the Falcons. There wasn’t much reason, given their track record. “It would have been REAL tough to be a Falcons fan,” Wynn said. He played his college ball for the Georgia Bulldogs, a team with plenty of history and titles. Still, it didn’t match up to what he found in Green Bay. “We had tradition, going back to Herschel Walker and winning the national championship,” Wynn said of his college team. “But here, it’s a whole new level.” Thankfully for the Falcons, Saturday night’s game won’t be played in a history book. They’ve earned homefield advantage for only the second time and intend to take advantage of it. They won’t have to worry about Lombardi calling one of his famous sweeps.

off his pass and took it back to end Seattle’s season. “I was playing all my friends from Green Bay, all my guys that I was boys with in Green Bay,” he said. “I was probably better friends with them than I was with my current teammates at the time. It was just one of those things where I said ‘The heck with it, I’m just going to have fun. Just play loose.’ And I played so much better that way, just not uptight and naive. I had no

idea the attention that playoff games get, the hype that playoff games get. Every good or bad thing you do can kind of linger, but it’s awesome.” That was the feeling for Hasselbeck last Saturday against New Orleans. It was a sharp contrast to his previous start at home against Atlanta when he got booed off the field and was replaced by Charlie Whitehurst. But that’s how Hasselbeck’s first season under

coach Pete Carroll has gone. There have been ups and downs, and with an expiring contract, his future is uncertain. Carroll has said he wants him back. Hasselbeck has said he wants to play for a winner, whether it’s Seattle or elsewhere. There are no questions about Cutler’s future in Chicago. There are plenty of doubts, though, about his decisions, his mechanics and his attitude.

Boston Metro newspaper joined in with the front page headline: “Why the Patriots will de-feet the Jets,” and a montage of feet encircling a smiling Ryan. “Anything goes this week,” Ryan said. “That’s the way it is.” And, now, all the talk is just about over — finally. The rivals split their season series, with both winning at home, a place at which Brady has been nearly flawless in the playoffs. He’s 8-1 at Foxborough, but the one blemish came a year ago in a surprising loss to Baltimore.

“I was a little disappointed after that game,” linebacker Jerod Mayo said, “but at the same time, I’m not really harping on that game. I’m living for this game.” As are the Jets, who have to deal with a Patriots offense that led the NFL in scoring with 32.4 points per game and tied its own NFL record by scoring at least 30 points in eight consecutive games. Brady also has been incredibly efficient with 36 touchdown passes and only four interceptions — even after the team traded Randy Moss earlier in the season.

CUTLER FroM 8c Bay for the second time that season and Hasselbeck learned a lot about playing in the postseason. He wound up with 305 yards, but Green Bay won 33-27 in overtime when Al Harris returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown. That game is most remembered for Hasselbeck’s bold prediction after Seattle won the overtime coin flip. “We want the ball and we’re going to score!” he declared, moments before Harris picked

JETS FroM 8c he and his coach accused the Patriots quarterback of showboating and pointing at their sideline after a late touchdown. Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said the Patriots spread their arms out like planes — the touchdown celebration some New York players use — after an interception in the last meeting. “When you have a rivalry like this, things are going to come out,” Cotchery said. “People shouldn’t be surprised by any of this. This is a contact sport, though, and it’s going to be settled out there on the field in the end.” Hall of Fame slugger Reggie Jackson, known to spout off at times during his playing career, said during a radio interview that Ryan’s guys should stop yapping and focus on playing. “That’s his opinion,” Ryan said. “We’re always going to be who we are. Reggie Jackson is always who he was. We could use Reggie’s bat this week.” To their credit, the Patriots stayed mostly quiet — under orders from Belichick, of course, who rarely gets into verbal confrontations with other teams through the media. But after Patriots owner Robert Kraft told The Associated Press he won’t judge the Jets and prefers his team does its talking with its play, wide receiver Wes Welker made several references to feet in his news conference Thursday. It was apparently a dig at recent foot-fetish reports involving Ryan. “I think this is a huge rivalry-type game and anything goes,” Ryan said, brushing it off. “I can take it. I’m not going to discuss it, but I can take it.” But, were Welker’s comments out of line? “I’m not getting into that,” he said. “It’s clever,” Cotchery said. “I don’t know if he intended it or not, but it was clever.” Neither Belichick nor Welker would discuss the comments Friday, but the

Jets quarterback Mark sanchez is 3-1 in the playoffs for his career.

Offensive coordinator Mike Martz questioned his demeanor when he was working as an NFL Network analyst last year, but it’s been nothing but sweet talk between them this season, even when Cutler was getting knocked around early on. He got sacked six times in a 23-20 loss to Seattle at Soldier Field after sitting out the previous game with a concussion.

to the 2004 Super Bowl two years after inheriting a 1-15 team. And Fox didn’t say anything to dampen those lofty wishes. “I’m here to try to add another ring and trophy to that foyer,” he said. F o x went 78-74, including playoffs, in nine seasons with the Panthers. The team didn’t FOX renew his contract following an NFL-worst 214 record in 2010. Carolina was the only team worse than the Broncos, who lost a franchiserecord 12 times last season and own the second overall pick in the NFL draft behind the Panthers. Fox will have to turn around a deficient defense that ranked last in the NFL and remedy a one-dimensional offense that had trouble running the ball and protecting the quarterback. “I don’t see it as ‘unfixable’ at all,” Fox said. “If it looked too dire I don’t know that I would be standing here.” McDaniels was on the job less than two years after replacing Mike Shanahan in January 2009 but he left the team in need of a major makeover because of a series of personnel blunders that shed the Broncos of a bevy of draft picks along with talented players such as Jay Cutler, Peyton Hillis and Brandon Marshall. The lost season led to a restructuring of the front office and the return of Elway as chief football executive. His first big decision was offering Fox a fouryear contract that’s believed to be worth about $14 million. “The thing that got me was his wisdom and his energy,” Elway said. “This place has been deflated for a year and maybe even two years.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The government and AIG, the giant insurer rescued with $182 billion at the depths of the 2008 financial meltdown, announced a plan Friday to end taxpayer involvement in the company over the next two years. As part of the plan, AIG paid back its $21 billion outstanding balance to the New York branch of the Federal Reserve. The Treasury Department will now own a 92 percent stake in the company and begin unloading stock on the open market in March. The rescue package was the largest of any U.S. company that accepted government help during the September 2008 financial crisis. Industrial production rose in December by the largest amount in five months, providing the economy with solid momentum heading into the new year. Activity at the nation’s factories, mines and utilities increased 0.8 percent last month, the Federal Reserve said. Industrial production was up in every month but one in 2010. Overall industrial activity has risen 11 percent since hitting its recession low in June 2009. But it is still 6 percent below its peak reached

in September 2007. JPMorgan Chase & Co. pleased investors with news that it will raise its dividend soon, pending approval from the Federal Reserve. The bank also reported that its income jumped 47 percent in the final three months of 2010 as fewer customers defaulted on loans. The Fed has asked all of the top U.S. banks to send detailed reports on their finances as part of the central bank’s annual assessment of their health. The Fed is expected to complete its study of those plans by March, at which time it could give permission to some banks to raise their dividends. China’s central bank has raised the amount of money banks must keep on reserve for the seventh time in a year, its latest move to counter inflation. The central bank ordered stateowned banks to set aside an additional 0.5 percent of deposits as reserves, effective Jan. 20. Reserves vary by institution but could be close to 20 percent for the biggest commercial lenders. China’s inflation rate jumped to a 28-month high of 5.1 percent in November.

Classic matchup Ravens, Steelers meet for the third time today BY ALAN ROBINSON Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Looks like another winter classic in Pittsburgh. Some NFL rivalries are manufactured. Some ebb and flow depending on the teams’ records. Then there’s Ravens vs. Steelers, one that is as real as it gets. The games usually are meaningful, with an intensity that isn’t faked and a physicality that caused Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward to label it the Black and Blue Bowl. The eighth meeting in three seasons between AFC North rivals that are alike in makeup and personality will leave the winner one victory short of the Super Bowl. The survivor of today’s AFC divisional game meets the winner of Sunday’s Jets-Patriots game in the AFC championship game on Jan. 23. Yes, another big Ravens-Steelers game, only a month and 10 days since the last. Yet many in Baltimore and Pittsburgh couldn’t wait for it. “Both sides know when the whistle

blows, you’re going to get what we got and we’re going to get what they got,” said Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, whose renowned nastiness fits perfectly into a rivalry where emotions run high and scores run low. “So, once again — I love to use this — here we go again.” The Ravens and Steelers tied with 124 regular-season records, but Pittsburgh earned a first-round bye based on its superior division record — one made possible by its improbable 13-10 win in Baltimore on Dec. 5. The Ravens were within a couple of first downs of securing a 10-6 win, but Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu caused a Joe Flacco fumble that led to Ben Roethlisberger’s winning 9-yard touchdown pass with 2:51 remaining. Just like that, a season flipped. But Steelers coach Mike Tomlin cautions the Ravens are capable of “flipping the script” in a series that’s so close, each of the last four games was decided by three points. The combined score since 2003 is Ravens 302, Steelers 302. Still, the Ravens are 0-2 in the postseason in Heinz Field, where new sod was

put down amid a series of snowy days that followed the NHL’s Winter Classic between the Capitals and Penguins on Jan. 1. That was hockey in the rain. This will be football with snow flurries, temperatures in the 20s and emotions that will be super heated. Former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter proved that when he tried to climb aboard the Ravens’ bus and fight Lewis in 2003. So did Plaxico Burress and James Trapp when they fought on the field in 2002. So did the Ravens, who stood mocking an oft-sacked Ben Roethlisberger in 2006. Perhaps that wasn’t a good idea; Roethlisberger is 6-0 against them since then. The numerous injuries illustrate the physical nature of the rivalry. Porter’s dangerous hit on an unprotected Todd Heap in 2004 still infuriates the Ravens. Lewis ended running back Rashard Mendenhall’s rookie season by breaking his shoulder in 2008. Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain’s helmet hit on Heath

Falcons face Pack tradition

Ryan:‘it’ll be huge’ BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. Associated Press

BY PAUL NEWBERRY FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — As if this thing needed more hype. Rex Ryan said this about the New England Patriots during his final news conference before Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff: —The Jets respected them but didn’t fear them; —The game ranks right behind the Broadway Joe Super Bowl win in 1969; —And, yes, the Jets would win. No expletives. “I think it’ll be huge,” the coach said Friday. “This one will probably be the second-biggest in the history of the franchise.” Following a ho-hum week of name-calling, accusations and challenges, New York is looking to get past the Patriots and reach the AFC championship game for the second straight season. But Bill Belichick and Tom Brady might have something to say about all of that. On the field, that is. “Certainly the stakes are much higher than they were the last time,” Brady said, referring to the Patriots’ 45-3 rout last month. “Each can execute, certainly, at a very high level against great competition and that’s going to be part of the reason why there is going to be millions of people tuned in for the game on Sunday.” That these teams clearly don’t like each other — at all — would be another. “One thing I can tell you right now,” Ryan said, “we have plenty of respect for them up there, but we don’t fear them. I can promise you that. We do not fear them. We respect them and we’re going to win the game. That’s our message. It’s our message every week.” There have been plenty of other messages sent to and from New York and Boston during the last few days, making for an interesting week. Ryan kicked things off by praising Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning, saying no one studies the game quite so hard, even though Brady thinks he does. Then, Ryan said the game was “personal” between him and Belichick. Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie took things to another level of nastiness when he called Brady a dirty word, while

Aaron rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will hope to knock off Atlanta on saturday.

Cutler gets first shot at postseason play BY ANDREW SELIGMAN Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — If Jay Cutler is nervous heading into his first playoff game, it was hard to tell this week. It actually was hard to tell anything about the strong-armed quarterback’s mindset heading into the postseason. This time, Cutler avoided the deep route. “Guys are business as usual,” he said. The Chicago Bears will make their first playoff appearance in four years when they host the Seattle Seahawks in a divisional game on Sunday, and Cutler will get his first taste of the postseason. So it wasn’t exactly business as usual around Halas Hall on Friday. Not since the 2006 team made the Super Bowl have

the Bears (11-5) been working this late, but they’re here thanks to a dramatic turnaround that led to the NFC North championship and a first-round bye. Cutler, meanwhile, is leading a winner for the first time since his senior year in high school. Now, the Bears are staring at a team that slipped into the playoffs with a 7-9 record and knocked off defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans last week behind a memorable touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch and a superb effort by Matt Hasselbeck. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback threw for four touchdowns as the Seahawks stunned the Saints 41-36 at Qwest Field. Now, he’ll be making his club-record 11th postseason start. “As a player, it’s the stage that you love to play on,” Has-

ATLANTA — Bart Starr. Lambeau Field. Ray Nitschke. Titletown USA. Reggie White. Heck, they even named the Super Bowl trophy after Green Bay’s most famous coach. Yep, the Packers are just oozing with tradition. The Atlanta Falcons? Not so much. “We’re fairly new on the block,” said Roddy White, the Falcons’ Pro Bowl receiver. “We’re still trying to prove ourselves. You’ve got to go out there and win playoff games. That’s what this league is all about.” The Falcons (13-3) are the top seed in the NFC playoffs heading into Saturday night’s divisional game against Green Bay (11-6). Atlanta merely needs to win two more games — both at the Georgia Dome, where the team is 20-4 over the last three seasons — to reach the Super Bowl for only the second time in franchise history. Up first, Atlanta will have to get by a franchise with a much more impressive resume over the long haul. The Packers have won a record 12 NFL titles, three more than any other franchise, a bounty that includes three Super Bowls victories. Compare that with the Falcons, who have managed just

four division titles in 45 years and lost their lone Super Bowl appearance in 1999. In fact, Atlanta had never put together back-to-back winning seasons until its current run of three in a row. When it comes to star power, Green Bay is about as good as it gets. The franchise boasts 21 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and surely has at least one more on the way with Brett Favre, who actually began his career with the Falcons but was traded away in one of the game’s great personnel blunders. The Packers’ list of greats includes coach Vince Lombardi, whose influence on the game was so profound the NFL put his name on its championship trophy shortly after his death in 1970. No one has considered naming a trophy after anyone from the Falcons. Heck, the team has yet to send even one player to Canton; the best it can do is Eric Dickerson and Tommy McDonald, two Hall of Famers who played briefly for Atlanta late in their careers. And when it comes to coaches, the team with the odd-looking bird logo can’t come close to Lombardi or Curly Lambeau, who guided the Packers to their first six NFL titles in the 1930s and ‘40s.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Fox wasn’t ready to hit the beach, the greens or the slopes after enduring the first double-digit losing season of his coaching career. He wanted to jump right back into the fray after his dismissal from the Carolina Panthers this month, and the Broncos were looking for just such a man to lead them out of their own misery. Fox beat out Houston offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, who has deep Denver roots, and three other coaching candidates to replace Josh McDaniels, who was fired last month amid the Broncos’ worst slide in four decades and the embarrassing Spygate II videotaping scandal. After such a trying season Fox said he “wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy,” why not just take a year off to rest, relax and regroup? “They asked me the same thing,” Fox said of the search committee headed by John Elway, the Broncos’ new chief football executive. “I did have options. But I am extremely competitive. That’s probably all the more reason why I am here today. I wanted to jump back in and erase that.” Many Broncos fans tired of five straight seasons without a playoff berth are expecting a quick fix much like the one Fox engineered in Carolina, when he took the Panthers
